Forthcoming? You can rent Idiocracy right now! It's not very funny but will make you want to read Dostoevsky.
I just watched Idiocracy last night -- I can see the comparison to Dostoevsky, but I'm ready to get that taste out of my mouth now. How do I cleanse my palette? Everywhere I look, I see Idiocracy's vision of the future. Of course, that might be because I was just using MySpace.
Eep! Yes, I just checked Netflix and there it is. I'll fix it.
The design blogs have been buzzing about both of these links for a few days. Check out the critical review at Speak Up. Interesting backstory on Idiocracy as well.
children of men is soooooo good...
the idea for idiocracy was goodish...
the execution of said idea; not so good...
but maya rudolph was funny...
I like Dostoevsky, and I can't tell from earlier comments whether there is a relation between Idiocracy and Dostoevsky, or whether Idiocracy is so bad that it makes you want to read something good like Dostoevsky. Could you clarify? It will help me decide whether watching Idiocracy is worth doing.
Get good and drunk, play videogames with friends for about eight hours, then watch Idiocracy. You'll find yourself yelling, "It's funny cuz it's true!"
At least that's what I did last weekend.

Admin search doesn't work when having multiple search_fields to the same base model.

Searching in admin site does not work when search_fields has multiple elements from the same base class. This is best described by an example:
from testi.searchTest.models import * from django.contrib import admin class TitleInline(admin.TabularInline): model = TitleTranslation extra = 2 class RecommenderAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): inlines = [TitleInline] class RecommendationAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): inlines = [TitleInline] # This works search_fields = ('recommender__titletranslation__text', ) # But this doesn't # search_fields = ('titletranslation__text', 'recommender__titletranslation__text',) admin.site.register(Recommendation, RecommendationAdmin) admin.site.register(Recommender, RecommenderAdmin)
from django.db import models class Title(models.Model): def __unicode__(self): try: return self.titletranslation_set.filter(lang="FI")[0].text except: return "No finnish name defined!" LANG_CHOICES = (('FI', 'Finnish'), ('EN', 'English'),) class TitleTranslation(models.Model): title = models.ForeignKey(Title) text = models.CharField(max_length = 100) lang = models.CharField(max_length = 2, choices = LANG_CHOICES) class Recommender(Title): pass class Recommendation(Title): recommender = models.ForeignKey(Recommender)
Assume we have saved a recommendation with a title of 'Foo' and a recommender with a title of 'Bar'. The foreign key is set from 'Foo' to 'Bar'.
In the example above, when searching for 'ar' nothing is found when using the second version of search_fields. When using the first version, The 'Foo' recommendation is found correctly. In the second version, searching works correctly through titletranslationtext.

comment:5 Changed 7 years ago by zain
It looks like this might be caused by an ORM bug. Given two querysets q1 and q2, with list(q1) = [foo] and list(q2) = [foo], there's a case when q1 & q2 = [].
I created a quick test to demonstrate the case. It's using the models from your example verbatim, but I'll clean it up once I've fixed the bug.

I am trying to troubleshoot battery life issues in OS X Lion on my MBA13. Is there an app (or hidden system information) that can tell me how long my computer has been on since last full charge. I am not looking for uptime, but looking specifically for Time Since Last Full Charge, just as is available in iOS.

General Motors Corp. and its union employees should not be surprised if public reaction to the four-year tentative contract is less than enthusiastic. After all, the idea of a corporation, saved from extinction with an infusion of billions of taxpayer dollars, granting bonuses in the midst of a national economic recession is difficult to comprehend.
Which is why it's helpful to view the agreement within the context of General Motors' future plans, which are certainly encouraging. The 48,500 UAW members who work for the leading American automaker will be voting on the tentative agreement in the near future. And as the details of the pact emerge, the public will see that labor-management relations are key to GM's economic viability.
According to the Detroit News, the proposed contract will result in 6,400 saved or added jobs and $2.5 billion in additional investment in the United States.
Indeed, in addition to reopening the former Saturn assembly plant in Spring Hill, Tenn., and boosting operations in plants in Warren, Mich., Wentzville, Mo., and Saginaw and Fort Wayne, Ind., the company plans to build a new compact car at a site that has not been disclosed. It will add or retain 500 jobs, the Detroit News reported.
While there was no mention of the GM's Lordstown assembly plant, which is operating three shifts and producing the Chevrolet Cruze, the top-selling compact car in the nation, we are confident the decision makers in Detroit have taken notice of what's going on in the Mahoning Valley.
There have been persistent reports that GM is planning to build a diesel model of the Cruze.
The Cruze has not only surpassed all sales projections, but the quality and engineering of the car have drawn rave reviews. If General Motors intends to build another compact model, it would be worth its while to consider the Lordstown plant. Management and labor have developed a working relationship that has become the standard for the company.
Profit sharing
As for the details of the four-year labor pact, there will be a $5,000 signing bonus, profit sharing as high as $12,000 and $1,000 inflation- protection lump sums paid out in 2012, 2013 and 2014, according to the United Auto Workers. There is an additional $250 yearly award for meeting quality targets.
Entry level wages would increase to $19.28. About 4 percent of GM's workforce is made up of tier-two workers who earn $14-$16 an hour. Veteran employees earn about $28 an hour.
These are crucial times for GM, and by extension, the Mahoning Valley because of the importance of the Lordstown plant to the region's economic well being. The automaker's profitability depends on a lot of factors, foremost of which is a stable labor climate. The agreement that will be voted on at the various plants provides such an environment.
The federal government has received $6.7 billion from GM in loan repayments, and currently has a 26.5 percent stake in the company. It had owned $2.1 billion in preferred stock and a 60.8 percent stake, but sold about half in an IPO last year.
Therefore, it is to the benefit of American taxpayers that GM keep making money so the value of its shares increases.
The contract bodes well for the future of the company.
Not one mention of the fact hat GM will not have to pay income taxes for the foreseeable future.
How does that fact bode for the American taxpayer?
Try doing some actual research and forming an intelligent synopsis of the entire situation.
Making millions in profit, tax-free, seems a little unfair to the taxpayers.
So let me see, the UAW seems to have really got a super deal with Government Motors. So who do the bosses at Government Motors take orders from? Now I understand!!!
The high wages and perks are what got them into trouble to begin with. The payroll tiers were something that actually helped bring them to a stable entity and now they are going to continually jack up the payroll all over again. Go figure.
The companies that received TARP funds were given a back room sweetherat deal if they filed bankruptcy thereafter. The bankruptcy laws were circumvented to allow a Net Opertaing Loss to remain on the books after bankruptcy. This is a huge dedcution GM will be allowed to take forward 20 years, if it lasts that long.
That means the people in charge knew they could keep this loss and certainly had the opprotunity to make it bigger before filing bankruptcy.
An absolute kick in the groin to investors and shareholders. Blatant fraud in my opinion. Knowingly burning through money in order to make a tax deduction bigger with no risk to the company, unless you owned stock or were a bondholder.
A present day atrocity.
Tyler is 100% correct. Obama circumvented bankruptcy law to favor the UAW, and screw investors.
The loss carryforward that they were allowed to keep gives them an unfair advantage over Ford, who did not take taxpayer dollars. I will never, ever buy a GM product, which is a shame for them, because it looks like they are making some pretty decent cars now, unlike the crap cars they built in the 70's, that the UAW workers puposely sabotaged, turning million of American to swear off ever buying American again. $5000 signing bonuses, paid by for the American taxpayer. Hey, Betram, where is the outrage? Or do you just save your vitriol for YSU professors?
When GM went bankrupt bush was the president. Since Ohio is a welfare state receiving back every dime sent to Washington in federal income tax plus an additional 5% none of the money loaned to save GM and Chrysler came from Ohio.
In fact not a dime of Ohio's federal income tax contributes to the military, the EPA, FEMA, FDA, NASA, FAA. federally funded medical research, the wall street bail out, the current Obama jobs program or any other federal government program. The people of Ohio only benefit from all these programs and others without paying a dime for any of them.
You could at least say thank you.
You should thank New Jersey. We only get one half of our federal dollars back, last in the nation. The only thing we get from Ohio is acid rain.

This is a cool plugin. But I'm trying to put an iframe that has different sizes in height. It's basically a forum that I'm using in an iframe, but using same_height_as= only makes the iframe height the same as the home page. It doesn't change if you go to a different page within that iframe.
So if a page is taller than the home page, it doesn't all show up.

Hi there.
How do I add unique meta keywords to Home frontpage? It seems I can only add unique keywords to Pages and Posts - but not the front itself.
I don't want to use "Default keywords", because although they would appear one the frontpage, they would also be included in all other pages, and the intent is to have *unique* keywords for homepage.
Thank you,

New Drug Treatment for IBS in Women
NOTE: On March 30, 2007 the FDA notified healthcare professionals and patients that Novartis has agreed to discontinue marketing Zelnorm, a drug used for the short-term treatment of women with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation and for patients younger than 65 years of age with chronic constipation. FDA analysis of safety data pooled from 29 clinical trials involving over 18,000 patients showed an excess number of serious cardiovascular adverse events, including angina, heart attacks, and stroke, in patients taking Zelnorm compared to patients given placebo. Patients taking Zelnorm should contact their healthcare professional to discuss treatment alternatives and seek emergency medical care if they experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden onset of weakness or difficulty walking or talking, or other symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Healthcare professionals should assess their patients and transition them to other therapies as appropriate. Click Here to read the entire FDA Press Release.
FDA Approves First Treatment for Women With Constipation-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today (July 24, 2002) announced the approval of Zelnorm tablets (tegaserod maleate). This drug is the first to receive FDA-approval for short-term treatment of women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) whose primary bowel symptom is constipation. The safety and effectiveness of Zelnorm in men have not been established.

Hi Scribu
Was wondering if you had made any changes to the plugin in the last few weeks? I tried everything I could possibly think of to solve the issue I was having this this thread
but with no luck so I decided to wipe the entire WP database (it's a site in development so there wasn't huge amounts of data to lose) to see if that solved things. I'm in the process of putting the site back together again piece by piece to see if I can isolate what the problem might be. I haven't added any custom reset yet, but I have implemented the widget.
When I go to the page displaying the widget I get the following error 3 times followed by the three dropdown boxes.
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/mysitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/query-multiple-taxonomies/core.php on line 132
Plugin seems to work ok though the error appears on search results pages. This is all really strange as I swear I had it working perfectly a few weeks back. Was wondering if you could post a link to the most up to date version of the plugin (I'm using 1.3.1 alpha3 in theory). Sorry to be a pain and thanks very much in advance

Senate advances local lawmaker's proposal to toughen law against texting while driving
Published: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 6:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 6:31 p.m.
BATON ROUGE -- The Louisiana Senate voted 22-9 to toughen the state ban on texting while driving, making it an offense for which a driver could be stopped without any other infraction.
Currently, a driver can only be cited for texting while driving if a police officer stops the driver for another alleged violation.
Sen. Butch Gautreaux, D-Morgan City, proposed Senate Bill 9, which would make texting while driving a primary offense — meaning that police officers could stop a driver for that traffic violation without needing another reason.
Here's how Houma-Thibodaux senators voted today:
For: Gautreaux and Joel Chaisson, D-Destrehan.
Against: Norby Chabert, D-Chauvin.
The bill heads next to the House for debate. If approved by the Legislature, the change would take effect Aug. 15.
Penalties for sending text messages while behind the wheel — with an exception for emergencies — can reach up to $175 for the first offense and $500 for subsequent offenses.

Local developer Jay Cashman is looking to expand his shipyard property by purchasing the damaged wharf that once held the MBTA ferry terminal and where the USS Salem is currently docked.
Joe Pesaturo, a spokesman for the MBTA, said Fore River Recycling LLC, a subsidiary of Cashman's Quincy Shipyard LLC, submitted a bid on Wednesday for $1,111,101 to purchase nearly 12 acres of the T's land and water rights next to the Fore River Bridge. The T decided to sell its property after a water-main break damaged the wharf last fall, closing the USS Salem to the public and shutting down the the T's Fore River ferry.
The T said the wharf's damages were too costly to repair, so it opted to close the ferry service permanently and pay monthly costs to maintain the USS Salem until the property was sold. The Salem, a former Navy cruiser owned by a private nonprofit called the U.S. Naval Shipbuilding Museum, has leased water space from the T since the 1990s, offering ship tours and hosting civic events.
Fore River Recycling's bid was the only big submitted by the T's April 30th deadline. Pesaturo said the T will likely finalize the sale next month.
Alan Perrault, a manager of Fore River Recycling, said his company is still evaluating all its options before deciding what to do with the T property. He said he didn't want to comment on whether his firm would continue leasing out the docking space to the USS Salem.
"The bid is under review, so it's premature for me to say what we would or wouldn't do with the Salem," Perrault said.
Michael Condon, the Salem's executive director, could not be reached for comment Thursday.
The T has said the buyer of its property – about seven acres of land and five acres of water rights – will assume responsibility for all repair liabilities and the single existing tenancy, the USS Salem.
Cashman already owns the 26 acres of property at the shipyard that abuts the T parcel, housing his companies Sterling Equipment, Fore River Recycling, Patriot Renewables and Jay Cashman, Inc. The New England Aquarium and Bluefin Robotics lease out warehouse space from Cashman at the shipyard.
"It's contiguous to us, so it makes sense (to buy it)" Perrault said of the T property.

Energy and Global Warming News for May 7th: Ford to spend $550 million to retool SUV/truck factory to make small cars, electric vehicles
Top Story
It looks like Ford is finally entering the real world, one where global warming and, even sooner, peak oil, will drive consumer decisions about automotive purchases. Indeed, as soon as the global economic recession is over, oil prices will quickly rise back above $100 a barrel. They will almost certainly reach record levels in the next decade. For gasoline to be significantly below $5 a gallon by 2020 would take a miracle "" or rather 6 miracles see "Science/IEA: World oil crunch looming? Not if we can find six Saudi Arabias!" and "IEA says oil will peak in 2020"). See also "Merrill: Non-OPEC production has likely peaked, oil output could fall by 30 million bpd by 2015").
The future belongs to car companies that make profitable, well-designed fuel-efficient cars, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and pure electrics, which seems to be a core element of Ford's trategic plan for survival and revival (see "Whose bailout plan is best: Ford drops hydrogen while GM remains confused about ethanol"). Today's news is evidence that they are putting their plan into motion:
Ford Truck Plant to Build Electric Cars
The Ford Motor Company is investing $550 million to turn a factory that was dedicated to making large and fuel-hungry sport utility vehicles into a modern and scalable small-car plant that will eventually produce an all-electric version of the Focus.
The Michigan Assembly Plant, known as one of the world's most profitable manufacturing sites during the S.U.V. boom of the 1990s, was once the hub for the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. The plant is expected to begin building the new Ford Focus next year, followed by production of the all-electric Focus in 2011.
The electric Focus will be Ford's first all-electric passenger car for the mass market. In addition to the electric Focus, the company plans to sell an electric version of its Transit Connect commercial vehicle in 2010.
Ford has previously promised that they will deliver four new electric vehicles to the American market by 2012.
"The transformation of the Michigan Assembly Plant embodies the larger transformation under way at Ford," said Ford's president and chief executive, Alan Mulally, in a statement. "This is about investing in modern, efficient and flexible American manufacturing. It is about fuel economy and the electrification of vehicles."
The electric Focus is part of a larger strategy announced by Ford in January to develop electric vehicles for North America quickly using its global reach and capability to keep the cars affordable.
In addition to the Michigan Assembly Plant, Ford is retooling two other factories to build new cars in the face of global market changes. The company's Cuautitl¡n Assembly plant in Mexico is slated to begin building the new Fiesta subcompact early next year, and its Louisville Assembly plant in Kentucky is also expected to begin producing small vehicles based on the Focus platform beginning in 2011.
"We're changing from a company focused mainly on trucks and SUVs to a company with a balanced product lineup that includes even more high-quality, fuel-efficient small cars, hybrids and all-electric vehicles," said Mark Fields, Ford's president of the Americas. "As customers move to more fuel-efficient vehicles, we'll be there with more of the products they really want."
If Ford can survive, the economic meltdown, it may ultimately remake itself into the strongest domestic car company.
Shell facing trial over alleged crimes against humanity
A group of Nigerians is suing Royal Dutch Shell PLC, alleging the company aided the government in attacking and killing activists who opposed the company's operations in the Niger Delta.
Shell faces trial May 26 in Manhattan federal court in a lawsuit filed by three alleged victims of attacks and relatives of seven activists killed from 1990 to 1995, including the writer Ken Saro-Wiwa.
Shell denies any wrongdoing. The company did not encourage or advocate "any act of violence," according to a statement.
Based on prior trials, the plaintiffs appear to face an uphill battle. An Alabama jury ruled in July that coal producer Drummond Ltd. was not liable for the deaths of union leaders at a company mine in Colombia. And a San Francisco jury in December cleared Chevron Corp. of responsibility for the 1998 deaths, shootings and torture of Nigerian protesters.
Waxman gets an earful after proposing detour
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) tried to quell an uprising yesterday among some moderate Democrats concerned about his admission that a major global warming and energy bill likely will skip a subcommittee vote and go straight before the full Energy and Commerce Committee.
A handful of Democrats on the Energy and Environment Subcommittee questioned Waxman's initial statement to reporters yesterday afternoon that time constraints likely will force him to bypass them in favor of a vote before the entire 59-member panel.
Senate panel rejects 20% funding limit for energy bank
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee today rejected a proposal that would cap funding a new clean-energy bank that could give financing to any technology, up to 20 percent of project costs.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) proposed the limit during a markup of a bipartisan bill, S. 949, to create a Clean Energy Deployment Administration within the Energy Department that is authorized to provide financing options for a variety of low-emission energy projects. The bill also proposes reforms and guidelines for a transition to the current DOE loan guarantee program. The amendment failed 5-18.
Sanders said his amendment was needed because the clean energy bank could lead to a situation in which one particular technology could end up with 40 percent or 50 percent of the funds, while others "with less political clout" would end up with less.
Obama's Emissions Plan Needs Tweaking, E.U. Climate Chief Says
Stavros Dimas, the European Union commissioner for the environment, warned on Thursday that President Barack Obama's goals to cut emissions over the next decade may not be ambitious enough to meet long term targets.
Under Mr. Obama's plan, the United States would cut emissions by 1.5 percent each year until the end of the next decade.
But Mr. Dimas warned the United States that small annual reductions now would require much larger annual reductions "" as much as 5 percent a year "" after 2020, if Mr. Obama's long term goal of reducing planet warming gases 80 percent by mid-century is to be reached.
Sea Salt Holds Clues To Climate Change
What is climate change doing to the saltiness, or salinity, of our oceans? This is an important question because big shifts in salinity could be a warning that more severe droughts and floods are on their way, or even that global warming is speeding up.

Well done Ford. Did take them that long to choose the right path.
Time to buy (more) Ford shares!
I'll believe it when I see the hundreds of thousands of 40 mpg cars and electric vehicles in the Ford showrooms carrying sticker prices that the average person can afford. Ford and GM have been promising that they were going to produce energy efficient and alternative power vehicles for 30 years now. Maybe this time they really will, but right now it sounds like another one of those "pilot plants" that the so-called Clean Coal Industry has been talking about for the same 30 years. It's more likely a ploy to soak up a lot of those Federal economic development grants that are going to be coming along from Washington shortly.
Bottom line: We can talk about the price of gasoline rising (and it surely will someday) but so long as it remains below $4.00 a gallon, the vast majority of U.S. consumers will continue to drive and buy the big, inefficient vehicles they have come to identify with a lifestyle that projects an image of "success" and "status".
I wonder… will Ford be running dozens of TV commercials in prime time every night that tout these new vehicles as the height of luxury or the the mark of living an American Dream lifestyle? Yeah, sure they will. Maybe if the government gives them the advertising dollars… otherwise they will conclude (as GM did with its limited production run of a few thousand electric vehicles in the 1990s) that such vehicles are "not economically viable in today's market".
Because of this, I am overjoyed to see all the giant SUVs and monster trucks back on the road again now that gas has gone down to around $2 a gallon. Keep on truckin', America. The more you burn now the quicker we'll get to the price point where even you and the auto companies finally realize this can't go on.
Maybe they can start stuffing batteries back into Rangers again. The electric Rangers sold some years ago are wearing out and replacements are needed. More likely is that all the kings horses and all the kings men will never get the auto industry off life support.
Let's not get overly excited about this news release. I read the article http://www.advertiser-tribune.com/page/content.detail/id/514644.html and on the face of it it looks exciting but upon further examination it appears to be no big deal. Ford is retooling the plant to build 2 million copies of the next generation Ford Focus and there will be electric versions built along side them. In otherwords most of those 2 million Focus vehicles will be powered by conventional gasoline. Will these vehicles then be sold to the public or just leased like the Ranger was and will it just be sold to fleet owners or both? Ford doesn't really say. Its too bad because I could use an EV that gets 100 miles of electric range per charge and there's no gasoline engine period so I can drive 100 guilt free (mostly) miles.
An article from Science PEVs vs ICEs: http://news.mongabay.com/2009/0507-hance_bioelectric.html
Did you ever see a 120 car coal train?
Where did you think it was going?
[JR: To a coal plant. That is what we are working to change.]
And a related study: http://www.conservationmagazine.org/articles/volume-10-number-2/biofuels-deja-vu/
There is a lively mileage competition between Ford and VW in Europe using minicars with diesel engines, and they are partnering with suppliers like Valeo and Siemens for seamless engine shutoffs at traffic lights, etc. The EU diesel Fiesta apparently gets well over 40 mpg, but Ford plans on gasoline engines for the US.
Toyota cancelled its US hybrid plant as sales tanked, but the competition for mileage between Ford, Toyota, Honda and GM will be where the action is in the US. "Most models over 40 mpg!"
Given the PEV vs ICE and the land based needed for biofuels, the current biofuel subsidies are a concern: http://blogs.wsj.com/environmentalcapital/2009/05/07/biofuels-bill-federal-subsidies-will-top-400-billion-enviros-say/
How do EVs help with climate change when they are powered from coal fired power stations?
Fixing climate change requires a wholesale decommissioning of coal power stations and replacement with CSP. Then we can talk about EV's.
[JR: Uhh, because EVs are inherently more efficient than internal combustion engine cars and because under half of our electricity comes from coal — and the marginal power plant is definitely not coal.]
I promised myself I wasn't going to post at CP again so soon, but this is directly on point to something that has bothered me as a CPA for a long time.
As a practicing CPA I see what vehicles Congress is still forcing businesses to buy. Ford can produce these new fuel efficient vehicles but the U.S. government is still promoting the purchase of heavy trucks and SUV's through the Tax Code.
If you are a business (not just big business, but just about every carpenter, plumber, realtor, appraiser, you name it), Congress gives you special tax breaks if your business buys a vehicle over 6,000 lbs Gross Vehicle Weight. That's right, it really is determined by one thing — weight!
Heavy trucks and vans can be immediately expensed the same year purchased, or at the option of the business, written off in full — no matter what they cost — over their normal life.
However, if the business buys a lighter (read – more fuel efficient) vehicle it is automatically considered by the Internal Revenue Code to be a "Luxury Automobile" subject to ridiculously low limits that prevent the business from writing off its full cost. No immediate expensing is allowed, and even over 5 years, you can't get it done. These dollar limits have not kept up with what cars actually cost these days. I can't even buy a $20,000 new car and write if off — yet a $70,000 Hummer is NOT considered a "Luxury" vehicle and CAN be written off in full, for one reason only — it is heavy!
Every business owner I know buys heavy trucks and SUV's — whether they need them or not — because of these tax rules. This has a social effect since if all the vehicles at the work site are heavy trucks, just try showing up in a Prius, or even a light pickup. Everyone knows those lightweights are for sissies, right?
If we are really serious about changing what vehicles Americans buy, we should let businesses buy lighter vehicles and use the same tax rules that now apply to heavy vehicles. (Forget taking away tax write-offs for heavy trucks — just make it the SAME rules for lighter vehicles. )
No one in the energy and climate field seems to be doing anything about this. Until businesses can buy a fuel efficient vehicle and NOT be penalized for doing so, you can expect America to continue to be more "trucked up" than it needs to be.
Details at:
"[JR: Uhh, because EVs are inherently more efficient than internal combustion engine cars and because under half of our electricity comes from coal — and the marginal power plant is definitely not coal.]"
Nevertheless, the vast majority of electricity (approaching 90%) comes from fossil-fuel and nuclear powered heat engines. As I pointed out some while ago (and you repeated in a recent post) at least 2/3 of this heat energy is lost in generation and transmission.
Just switching to EVs is not enough. In fact it would make the situation worse because it would overload the strained US electricity network and give producers a golden excuse to whack up new gas and coal powered stations double-quick.
In my view the goal has to be to build CSP on a scale that makes electricity the natural economic choice for all sorts of applications that currently use fossil fuel. Not just cars, but ground source heating and many other things. Even commercial vehicles…
Joe – there are a couple of hot items you rarely mention: aviation and the internet. Both a energy hogs, particularly in the US. What are your views on reducing their CO2 footprint?
Long, fact-filled discussion on the subject, including a discussion of the problems with EVs:
[JR: Uhh, this guy seems to be an EV fan.]
Very good news, IMO.
Hopefully it's not just more promises and stalling, with the EVs cut later on due to "lack of demand".
American car companies already make hybrids, of course.
Last I heard, to get an American hybrid, your name goes on a waiting list, you pay up front, and then wait for maybe two years to maybe get one. So, while Toyota cranks out the Prius like potato chips, sales of American Hybrids are "slow".
It would be typical of American big business to do the same with EVs – pretend to cooperate, but make it very difficult to buy these EVs, and then cancel production due to "lack of demand".
Also, last I heard, rights for Stanford Ovshinski's nickel metal hydride batteries had been sold by GM to Texaco, and are now controlled by Chevron.
Which may be why its hard to get large format American made nickel metal hydride batteries.
[JR: Uhh, this guy seems to be an EV fan.]
He is trying hard not to be a big fan of anything. He grudgingly admits that IF we insist on personal transport then the EV gives you something similar to a Polo (about 100g/km CO2) if powered from conventional electricity. But there are big concerns over the cost, availability of materials and embodied energy in the batteries, and the level of austerity is likely to be similar to the Polo, which is not what people want. If people expect an EV version of the "urban tractor" then it will make as much sense as the Lexus 400 hybrid – none. As things stand, EV's in the US will get you off foreign oil and on to domestic coal and natural gas. That will be popular to some but won't help emissions.
You should read the whole book (available free online). It has some brilliant insights and is very objective and fact-based. It is a stroke of genius to normalise both consumption and supply of energy to KWh/day per person.
The correlation between GDP and energy consumption is worrying:
Combine this with the relentless growth in GDP and population and the whole world will be shifting upwards and right on this graph – all straining to achieve a US goal of 250KWh/d/p!

I understand SQL Server doesn't release the memory unless the OS needs it. Then, monitoring Available Bytes (free memory) is not the best way to monitor the service. What other variables can give me a real measure about the behaviour of the SQL Server? Maybe Pages/sec or Page Faults/sec? I'm using nagios to monitor the service and sometimes the alerts arise because a big query is executed.
You can get proper memory usage with SQL using the Perfmon counters, in particular the Total Server Memory. With Nagios you could use NSClient++ and nrpe to poll these counters. Here are some SQL Counters for your reference (With silly warning and critical levels):

When I phoned to make our appointments I was greeted by a very nice and polite lady who took all our details and said that she would be 'looking forward to seeing us'. On the day, we were running about 5 mins late, I phoned up to advise them of this and they were very accommodating and said that it would be fine to still go along. On arrival we were greeted by our therapist and a receptionist, taken to the waiting room, offered a drink and handed a patient form, the patient form asked for a lot of confidential information so I only filled in my medical history and basic details. The facilities were excellent, clean and light and the treatment room was spacious and nice and warm. The therapist was polite and professional and very good at his job. I did not feel rushed to leave and once my treatment was over I was welcomed to stay and wait for my husband and to have another drink. As the place is round the corner from the centre of Covent Garden I went for a spot of window shopping in the meantime. Overall, one of the best treatment experiences I have had. I recommend it.

On one of my sites, a robot signed up about 1000 new members and now keeps requesting the URLs of (sitename)/author/(username), along with the resource names of /submit-articles, /author-panel and /about/submit-articles. The later three I am using Simple 301 redirect plugin to send them back to the "wholesalenfljerseysproshop.com" they come from, since no such pages exist anyway. The first one, I finally managed to figure a way to use the RewriteRule in htaccess to include a wildcard * and send them along as well.
I was just wondering if there is someone who has encountered this specific problem and has found a good plugin or proper handling method? The requested URLs just end up with a 404 page, but upwards of 1000 requests daily seem to be slowing down the site (hence the send back home approach).
Anyone else have any experience with this unfriendly backlink seeking bandwith hog?

By John Harlow/TRADOC News ServiceAugust 18, 2009
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (TRADOC News Service, Aug. 18, 2009) - Leader development is the top priority of Gen. Martin Dempsey, the Commanding General of the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command. On the first day of the TRADOC Senior Leader Conference in Gettysburg, the senior leaders of TRADOC took a staff ride of the Gettysburg battlefield to look back at how Generals Robert E. Lee of the Confederate States and U.S Federal Army Gen. George G. Meade worked through the Battle of Gettysburg.
Len Fullenkamp, of the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle walked the TRADOC leaders of today through the footsteps of Lee and Meade and some of the other major players in the three-day Gettysburg battle.
Fullenkamp explained how some of the Corps commanders had just days in a leadership position before being thrust into the battle that played a major role in the outcome of the civil war.
"Lee assumed that his subordinates understood his intent," said Fullenkamp. "He empowered his lower level commanders the ability to carry out the mission."
As the discussion progressed Fullenkamp talked about how Lee basically looked at a decentralization of his Army.
The discussion turned to talking about Campaign Design. Fullenkamp described it as giving the commander a mental picture.
"Today decentralization of our Army is inevitable," said Dempsey as the Design discussion progressed. "We have to look at making sure we have the ability to understand design at lower levels. We need to make it an initiative into our training because understanding the impacts of our movements on the population and other factors on the battlefield is more and more important."
By empowering his leaders to make decisions, Lee provided the opportunity to lead up from the bottom. Design helps get a decentralized Army to lead up.
Before the Battle of Gettysburg, there were two different ways the different sides fought. The Confederacy fought a defensive war and the Union had the strategy to go get Lee's Army and destroy it. In Gettysburg, Lee was the aggressor and Meade took the cautious defensive approach.
As the day on the battlefield continued, the discussion turned to information and how Commanders reacted to it.
During the Civil War, Lee and Meade could only rely on the telegraph or couriers to bring information from the battle lines to the command post. Today with the command post of the future, there is so much more information available to commanders.
Fullenkamp talked about how commanders separate themselves from the fight to give them the ability to see the big picture.
With that, the TRADOC commander talked about the current information and how it is still important for the commander to get out and see things for themselves.
"With the technology we have, you can convince yourself what is going on from looking at the computer screen," said Dempsey. "You need to be able to see what is happening for yourself because you can't develop a feel for what is happening remotely."
Dempsey also spoke about information as something that has the power to paralyze.
"You might wait an extra couple minutes to get that last piece of information in before you make a decision," said Dempsey. "That can hurt, but it can also help. You hope to have the most information available before making a decision."
It was a day looking back at history and looking at how the lessons of Lee and Meade can help make better leaders, better Soldiers and a better Army.

Most Helpful
This was a really good recipe. I pretty much made it according to directions, except I used left over pork, so I had to do a little adjusting on the cooking end. I sauted the onion, garlic, and capsicum in olive oil, then pretty much followed the directions for the rest, adding the chopped left over pork and apple and letting it heat through good. I then added the cornflour and water mixture to thicken. Great change for that left over meat.
Very nice casserole! I used chicken broth instead of the bullion cube and extra broth instead of the sherry. I also left out the capsicum (personal preference). This was very tasty and I would definitely make it again!!! Thanks!!

12 ways to get head-to-toe glamour in a hurry.
Puttin' on the Glitz
"We're seeing a lot of pearls on celebrities again, from dark grey or black pearls to classic white or champagne, in all lengths," says Cooper. "A lot of young celebrities are embracing this '50s classic look, and it's very chic and very now."
And still important this season: chandelier earrings. Kramer says they add glamour to any outfit. But do pair them with a simple, small necklace, or no necklace at all.
11. Fancy footwork. Nothing says sexy more than a great pair of stilettos. Add them to any outfit and voila, you're dressed up! But being fashionable doesn't have to mean being uncomfortable.
Experts say you can avoid some of the pain of wearing high heels -- particularly those sexy, strappy sandals that can cut into feet -- with "Glide," a lubricant used by bikers and runners to avoid chafing. Applied on the instep, toes and heels, it can help you dance the night away more comfortably, Kramer says.
For style that is both glamorous and comfortable, don't overlook this year's sexy ballerina flat or jeweled velvet low-heeled mule, Cooper says.
No glitzy shoes in your closet? Cooper suggests dressing up simple black pumps with buckles in rhinestone or velvet.
And, he says, do opt for a pair of fancy hose. A light texture with a lacy or fishnet pattern in black or a dark smoky grey adds glamour and up-to-the-minute style to that little black dress.
12. A fragrant finale. For a finishing touch that sends you out the door in a totally glamorous state of mind, nothing does it better than a whoosh of nighttime fragrance.
"You even walk different when you know you smell irresistible," Straley says. "A fragrance can not only make you feel more glamorous, it's the quickest way to convey the glamour signal to everyone around you, regardless of what you're wearing."

28-Sep-2015Spaghetti Western Concert Kudos
Check out the Spaghetti Western comments from members of the audience!
From Roger Myers (viola professor at UT and international performer):Dear Lois,
I just wanted to write and congratulate you for last night's concert. As you know I am a friend of long standing to the ACO and have an affection and admiration for what you all do in and for this city, but last night's concert utterly blew me away! Not only did you guys sound great with Rick del Castillo and his group, but in the second half each and every piece rose beyond anything I have heard to date. The Marquez was astounding. The orchestra has continued to grow in numbers, youth and quality, but the aplomb and musicianship just reached right out to me and the whole audience. I was proud of all of you and most particularly you for all you have done these many years to take the orchestra to this place. Long may it continue, and heartfelt congratulations again!
From Rick Del Castillo:Amy & Lois,
I wanted to share something with you. A dear friend of mine Rupert Neve attended the concert on Sunday. I don't know if either of you know who he is but he is revered as one of the world's greatest audio designers; world class studio recording equipment. He designed recording consoles that The Beatles, their producer George Martin and thousands of other famous people have used for the past 45 years. Though he is 89 his hearing is stellar. We spoke on the phone and he said that THAT was the best sounding orchestral concert he's been to in Austin! He said the orchestra played with passion and the tone was the sweetest he'd ever heard. I wanted you to know that.

Sony registers PlayStationArc.com domain
According to a conducted WhoIs search, Sony has registered the domain PlayStationArc.com.
The records from the search, via VGChartz, shows that the firm registered the name on October 10, 2009 from the company's headquaters in Tokyo.
This goes hand-in-hand with what was said to VG247 last week, when we were told by sources that Arc would be the name of the upcoming motion controller for PS3.
Sony said in its NPD response a while back it would release in 2010, but didn't mention the March 2010 date given previously mentioned by SCE boss Kaz Hirai.
This was proven to be a warning sign: the motion controller was delayed until autumn last week.

I would like to use a OS X in a virtual machine, the problem is running the VM in Windows or Ubuntu because the host OS takes a lot of CPU.
Is there any very minimal operating system that can virtualize OS X and that can use VMWare files? A key criteria is that the host OS would allow most of the CPU power to be used in the guest OS.
Thank you!
