I. Introduction
This is a short extract from Liz Greene's Psychological Horoscope Analysis. The complete report of 18-25 pages can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound booklet in the Astroshop.This horoscope analysis - using the insights of astrology and psychology combined with the tools of advanced computer technology - offers you an astrological portrait which is uniquely and individually focussed and which aims at providing greater self-knowledge. II. Your Psychological Type
This short chapter describes your typical or characteristic way of responding to situations in life.The rich array of individual attributes portrayed in your birth horoscope is set, as it is with everyone, against the backdrop of a certain temperament bias. We might call this bias your psychological "type". You respond to life's challenges with a clear, strong and objective mind, which serves you as a good and reliable friend and which provides you with powerful ethical precepts, uncluttered vision and a love of truth. Another way of describing your nature might be to say that you tend to live in your head most of the time - with all the virtues and problems that this high and noble domicile includes. "Living in the head" does not necessarily make you an intellectual or a good academic student, [...] [..] You may be resistant to the value of anything that you cannot see or touch or analyse, and consequently you may ignore your feelings not only because they are threatening in their power, but because they are not objects which you can manipulate and control. Not only do [...] III. Character and Shadow
In this comprehensive chapter of the Psychological Horoscope Liz Greene provides valuable insights about your essential character traits.The interplay between the conscious and unconscious sides of you is a constantly shifting dance, changing at different stages of your life and altering according to the pressures and challenges which you encounter. The tension between the primary characters in your inner drama is the source of energy which provides your life with movement, purpose, conflict and growth. [..] You tend to dwell up in the air a lot, but that is not because you are naive or stupid. It is just that what other people call real life does not agree with your picture of things. In a crisis or emergency you can be practical enough, and somehow your survival instincts [...] [..] You not only believe that life ought to be fair, pleasant, luxurious and peaceful; you have a firm conviction that you are entitled to happiness, and that if you do not possess it as a permanent fixture then something has gone seriously wrong. It might surprise you to discover [...] Hidden traits [..] This secret side of your personality cannot accommodate the gap between your ideals and the complex problems, pain and limitations inherent in human experience; and there is thus a tension in you, a split between your optimistic philosophy and your deeper and darker perceptions. The more [...] A minor character [..] But mystical feelings alone are not sufficient for you. Such dedication must take the form of practical service. You are perpetually aware that there is some purpose to your life - but its definition is always, somehow, just out of reach. You are not spiritual in the sense [...] IV. The Family Background
In the complete horoscope analysis, this chapter deals with your family myths as well as with your perception of your parents and their relationship.Although you are an individual, you have emerged from a family background. Thus you contain certain inner patterns, myths and attitudes toward life which you have acquired from the psychological soil of this background. V. Relationship Patterns
This chapter describes attitudes, needs and characteristic patterns in close one-to-one relationships.Both astrology and psychology teach us that nothing that occurs within a relationship is chance. Your birth horoscope describes what you are like inside, and therefore what kind of patterns, needs and compulsions you are likely to bring into your relationships with others. You have a wonderfully romantic vision of love which, no matter how many knocks life gives you, never becomes wholly tarnished. But because you are really looking not for a fellow-romantic but for a companion who is worldlier than you and can protect you from the harder and darker aspects of existence, you tend to be attracted by a more realistic and earthier kind of woman. Such a relationship can be very creative for you, since you can enhance your partner's life with your vision of a better, [...] VI. Paths toward Integration
The final chapter of the Psychological Horoscope Analysis contains insights into the potential for growth as shown in your birth chart.The following paragraphs provide some suggestions of ways in which conscious effort might make it possible for you to achieve greater harmony between the different components within yourself, and to strengthen that centre of the personality which psychology calls the ego, the "I".

Global Funds: Tops in '09
International-stock mutual funds were the best performers in a year when U.S. stock funds also soared, but the question is whether they can continue their ascent in 2010.
International funds' success in 2009 in large part reflects returns seen in emerging markets like China, Brazil or Russia. Emerging-market funds soared 72% in 2009, according to investment researcher Morningstar Inc. MORN 0.07 %
Still, investors shouldn't forget that emerging-markets funds have a volatile history; big rises have often been followed by ollapses. After climbing for five consecutive years starting in 2003, they tumbled roughly 55% in 2008 and still haven't fully recovered.
"Most fund managers think the China and emerging-markets growth stories are still intact for the long-term," said Gregg Wolper, senior fund analyst at Morningstar. "But next year's a tough call because of the run-up we've seen this year."
Whereas international funds of all stripes rose in 2009, those with the biggest holdings in emerging markets won out. The top advancer among the 25 largest international funds was the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund, up 68% through Dec. 29, according to stock tracker Lipper Inc. The top actively managed fund on the list was Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund, up 48%. It trailed the iShares ETF largely because most of its holdings were in developed markets.
This was the pattern everywhere. Lipper found that the best-performing China fund, Oberweis China Opportunities Fund was up about 130% this year, while the best Japan-focused fund, Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund, was up about 20%. Of course, the 2008 declines were more extreme in developing countries, too: the Oberweis fund fell 64.3% in 2008, while the Fidelity Japan fund shed 35.5%.
Despite the big rebounds of 2009, every international fund category is trading below its highs. For some managers, this suggests that some companies' share prices have a chance to keep booming. "A lot of the stocks we own are still well below their prices in mid-2008, and yet their businesses haven't really been affected [by the economic slowdown]," said Christopher Arbuthnot, co-manager of John Hancock Global Opportunities Fund.
Mr. Arbuthnot's fund was among the best performers in 2009, up 93% as of Dec. 29, after falling 51% in 2008. "Last year stocks were beaten up globally," regardless of strategies or choices, Mr. Arbuthnot said.
The fund manager pointed to Brazilian water utility Companhia de San Basico, which fell to $13 a share from $56 a share on the New York Stock Exchange, at which point it was trading at just two times earnings. The valuation didn't make sense since the Brazilian economy continued to expand during the global recession. Thursday, it closed at $39.28, down nine cents, or 0.2%, on the day, but up 58% for the year.
Templeton Global Smaller Companies Fund rose about 70% in 2009 after falling 50% in 2008. "There are still sectors and countries that are beaten up [and haven't been part of this year's rally]," said Bradley Radin, fund manager.
Mr. Radin's fund is about 25% invested in emerging markets. He said he doesn't pay too much attention to country allocations, choosing instead companies on a value basis.
One company he likes is Canaccord Financial Inc., of Vancouver, which focuses on retail brokerage and equity-based investment banking. At its low, the stock was trading at less than half the company's book value, and today it's only about 1.3 times book. Mr. Radin said in the next few years he expects its value to rise to three or four times book.

Mt. Ranier
Ron Schilb, Ken LeBlanc, Robert Mathers and I climb Mt. Ranier by the Emmons-Winthrop Clacier Route. We hiked to Camp Schurman (9500')on Sunday, July 23, waited out some high winds on Monday, and then headed for the summit on Tuesday. Leaving at 1:00 AM, we lost a couple of hours with route finding, reaching the summit at 2:38. The descent took about 5 hours.

Buck Mountain
I made an attempt on Buck Mountain on Tuesday, July 18. Starting from the parking lot at 6:00, I was 600 ft. short of the summit when I reached my turn around time of 3:00, so it goes on the list for another try at a later date. The climbing was very good and the views were spectuacular!

Skillet Glacier -- Take 5
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try again. Wherein I finally manage to climb the Skillet Glacier on Mt. Moran in Grand Teton National Park. The approach is about 6 miles, the last two of which are bushwacking. Because of the huge snowfall this winter, the climb involved almost one vertical mile of snow climbing, and took 9 hours up and 4 hours down.

Pleasant Mtn Traverse
Tom Bowker took a day off work to go skiing with me. He put together a splendid traverse of Pleasant Mountain, Maine. I rented Alpine Touring gear at EMS. We left my car at the Shawnee Peak Ski area, then drove his about 8 miles to the trail head on the south side of the peak. This was without a doubt the best day I have ever had on skis!

Mt Washington
Two attempts to climb Mt. Washington. On Sunday, Feb. 6, I took the Lion's Head trail. Along with almost everyone else that day, I turned back at the Lion's Head, as the winds were in excess of 100 mph, which rendered standing up problematic. The forecast for Monday, Feb. 7 looked much better, so I gave it another try. With a favorable forecast, I soloed the Central Gully in Huntington Ravine and then took the Nelson Crag trail to the summit.

Stairway Renovation
After almost 15 years of being told that our house was "not contemporary enough for ..." (insert any remodeling or redecorating idea here), I couldn't take it any longer and we reconstructed our staircase protection system. It was our own design, and we purchased the newels and handrail from Stair Warehouse. We got the stainless steel tubing from American Metal Supply, and the rest of the lumber was rough sawn natural maple which I planed and finished with the help of my brother Mark in his killer wood shop. The whole project took about two months.

Skiing in the South Fork of Garnet Canyon
Sean Caulfield, Tom Bowker and I headed up the South Fork of Garnet Canyon on June 19 to check out conditions and for Tom and I to try out the skiing. With my backcountry XC skis and lack of skill, I was mightily humbled, though I did manage to skin up and then get all the way down from above the first headwall. Meanwhile, Tom put on a telemark clinic, linking one perfect turn after another. T'was a thing of beauty, and a great day in the mountains!

Skillet Glacier - Take 3
Erin Mauldin and I take another shot at Mt. Moran's Skillet Glacier. This time we go for the "fast and light" one day ascent, leaving the ranch at 2:30 am. We made good time and were on the glacier by 8:00. Snow conditions were good, but the weather again foiled us as minimal visibility and 4+ inches of new snow turned us around at 10,600'.

Irene's Arete and Middle Teton
"Team Epic," aka Erin Mauldin and I, head up to Garnet Canyon for an attempt on Irene's Arete. Jason Arvanides will hike up for the climb the next day and the rest of the Mauldin clan will join us the following day for an as yet undetermined project. I dropped out of the Irene's attempt after the first pitch, leaving Erin and Jason to complete it.

Two Medicine Hike
On our last full day, we drove back to the East side of the park to the area called Two Medicine. We took a boat across the lake and hiked a few miles to Upper Two Medicine Lake which was a beautiful place, and where we did find a modest snow field, allowing Wendy to get some "snow time." The hike was enhanced by the grizzly paw print we found next to the trail about halfway in.

Bill Fetterhoff, Paul Hartman, Ian Mauldin, and I attempt the East Ridge of Buck Mountain. While the weather was better than we had been experiencing, the snow was still very soft. After gaining the East Ridge at about noon, the wet snow avalanches began and we turned around at 11,200 ft, about 700 ft. from the summit. A good day nevertheless.

Skillet Glacier take two
Erin Mauldin and I attempt the Skillet Glacier on Mt. Moran. Ron Schilb, Dave Diller and I attempted this in 2002 but were turned back at the rock island on the skillet. We got past the skillet and up into the handle this time, but it had rained all night and the snow was dangerously loose and wet. We retreated from about 10,000 ft, with quite a bit more handle to go. It was steep, but not impossible. The bushwack in was as tough as ever.

Published June 2, 1998
MLB: Interleague play returns this week and Acting Commissioner Bud Selig feels the second year will be "just as successful" as the first. Selig: "There's no doubt in my mind that it's going to do remarkably well again." Last year's interleague average attendance was 33,409, up from the regular-season average of 27,732 (Mark Maske, WASHINGTON POST, 5/31)....ESPN2's Mike Lupica, on MLB's resurgence in N.Y.: "What we're really being reminded of here is how baseball at its best still turns the biggest places into small towns. Baseball in New York feels like the main event again" ("The Mike Lupica Show," ESPN2, 6/1). OTHER NOTES: In K.C., Joe Posnanski, on the men's and women's pro tennis tours: "Women's tennis rules. It's hip. It's happening. It's now. ... Women's tennis has never been better. ... [M]en's tennis has no heart" (K.C. STAR, 5/30). ...On ESPN SportsZone, Greg Garber wrote that women's tennis "recently has been blessed with some terrific teenage athletes." Noting the recent profiles of Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova, Garber added, "It is not terribly surprising that the sport consciously has been playing the racy card" (ESPN SportsZone, 5/28)....In Philadelphia, Timothy Dwyer wrote, "The NHL is having a bad year. ... This is the time of year when the game should be showcased the most. The NHL seems so intent on marketing the sport internationally that it is willing to sacrifice its own postseason party on bad experiments such as the Olympics. ... And it is no coincidence that the NHL teams with the most Olympic players made the quickest exit from the playoffs. It is a fitting end to a bad season. And it has to make you think that the NHL shouldn't be wondering why more people don't watch their games but -- instead -- why anyone bothers to watch them at all" (PHILA. INQUIRER, 6/1).

Master Planning
by Mog,Justin M — last modified Apr 09, 2015 06:12 PM
Developing plans for campus growth and improvements which reflect our commitment to sustainability.
Campus Master Planning at the University of Louisville is an on-going process to create and implement an integrated, long-term vision for wise stewardship and growth at all three of our campuses. Campus Master Planning is a service of University Design, Planning & Construction. In total, the university manages over 115 buildings (totaling over 8,286,716 gross square feet) and 660 acres of land on all three campuses:
In November 2009, the UofL Board of Trustees approved a revised master plan for the main Belknap campus which integrates sustainability considerations such as brownfield redevelopment, storm water infiltration, green spaces, and promoting transportation alternatives through improved planning for pedestrians, cyclists and bus riders.
As of spring 2015, UofL and our affiliated student housing partners have redeveloped 288 acres of brownfields
as we've grown our main Belknap campus. These were former industrial or commercial sites that had varying levels of environmental contamination and were a blight on the community.

Politics I-920 Update
Northwest Progressive Insititute's Andrew Villeneuve was on KISW 99.9 FM (Seattle) this morning debating I-920 sponsor Dennis Falk and, evidently, the host.
I-920 would repeal the state's estate tax, which affects about 250 families whose estates are valued at over $2 million. Among the arguments against repealing the tax: It would swipe about $40 million a year from public-school funding.
I'm guessing that's what led to this bizarre exchange that Villeneuve exerpts on NPI's blog.
Host: Well the bottom line is this: First of all, I think the reason the public schools system is the way it is is because we encourage people to continue to have babies ridiculously without any control - I would like to see something -
Me: How does that factor in here? (Host tries to talk over me)
Host: Listen my friend - you know what, our population base is coming from idiots who just think they can pop out a baby without being ready to have a baby - which pretty much is almost every case that's out there, Hispanic or not.
Me: Really.
Host: Oh yes!
Me:: That's a gross mischaracterization.
Host: Not at all. We have more single mothers in the state of Washington per capita than any other place in the country, there genius. And you know why? Because women think they can pop out kids any time they want, and they're a drain on our system. Let's be honest here. You wanna - if you wanna really shrink school sizes, then teaching people how to have families responsibly is the way you go. Not taking money from the rich - again, to fund organizations and governmental agencies that will reward people for being idiots and not being responsible. Which is what you're doing.

A Relentless Developer
In June 1997, Carl Paladino had been pushing to build a Rite Aid pharmacy in a Syracuse neighborhood when he was turned away by the city's Planning Commission due to residents' concerns. The prominent Buffalo developer told the Syracuse Post-Standard that such a rejection was "one of the reasons your city is dying," and pledged to stop developing such stores in the struggling upstate city.
A year later, Mr. Paladino returned to the same site, with some modifications, only to face similar opposition. He revised his plans again, and finally won over the planning commission; the new store was completed the following year.
Such a relentless pursuit of a development, mixed with the occasional caustic remark, has become a trademark of Mr. Paladino, the Republican nominee for governor who is bankrolling much of his campaign with the wealth created by the real-estate empire he built up over the past three decades.
With a prolific and opportunistic strategy of buying property, Mr. Paladino has become, at once, the Rite Aid king of Western New York—building more than 150 of the drugstores—as well as one of Buffalo's largest office landlords and a major residential developer. His style in real-estate transfers to his campaign, and perhaps portends an approach as governor: he is aggressive, unorthodox and a tough-as-nails negotiator.
"He plays to win," says Craig Cozza, a former Rite Aid executive who worked on leasing dozens of stores from Mr. Paladino in the 1990s. Mr. Paladino was skilled at identifying an intersection ideal for a Rite Aid and then quickly assembling the site needed by convincing a set of homeowners to sell, Mr. Cozza says.
"Most of the stuff we bought wasn't for sale—so that's what he became very good at," he says.
Mr. Paladino was unavailable for comment for this article. But his son, William Paladino, who is the chief operating officer, acknowledged that relentlessness is part of their business strategy. "We don't really give up on anything," he says.
Carl Paladino, the son of a water meter reader who immigrated from Italy, fell into the real-estate business almost by accident. Raised in Buffalo, he went to St. Bonaventure University, followed by law school at Syracuse University, and joined the Army Reserve. Then, working as an attorney in Buffalo, his father-in-law, who was the building manager for the centrally located Ellicott Square building, died. Mr. Paladino took over the management business for the hulking grey building, according to William Paladino.
When the building fell into default, the owners asked Mr. Paladino if he wanted to put together a group of investors to match a bid on the property, according to campaign officials. With money he raised from others plus his own funds, he was able to take control in a deal valued at $3.8 million.
From there, he gradually increased his holdings. His firm, Ellicott Development, now says it has more than two million square feet of office space in Buffalo, making it one of the largest commercial landlords.
Many of his deals, like Ellicott Square, have involved distressed property. His firm targeted buildings in foreclosure and properties reclaimed by the city. He buys to hold, keeping the properties—often vacant—in his portfolio until a tenant is lined up, a neighborhood improves, or an opportunity presents itself. He owns multiple closed churches that he might redevelop, an estimated 50 vacant lots and recently bought a large shuttered nursing home.
"The kind of buyer Carl is, is he will constantly go through tax foreclosure rolls," says James Militello, who dealt with Mr. Paladino as a former Buffalo city official and now now runs a real-estate brokerage firm.
William Paladino, 38 years old, says, "We buy at values that we feel we can carry for as long as we want."
The recent downturn in commercial real estate has caused some pain, William Paladino says. Some of its strip malls in suburban areas are struggling. Also, Mr. Paladino has been unable to build a new office building in downtown Buffalo on a site he has owned for years.
Much of Mr. Paladino's success over the years has come in large part because of government tenants, who occupy at least 530,000 square feet in his Buffalo buildings, according to state, federal and local government records. His company also has received New York state tax credits to develop properties across the state.
Critics enjoy pointing out that a candidate who has attacked government excess owes much of his fortune to incentives and state offices. Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Cuomo's campaign has raised similar criticisms about the Paladino camp.
The Paladino campaign has responded by saying Mr. Paladino is often the low bidder on a contract, and the incentives would have been awarded to anyone. "We save the state money," William Paladino says. "We have a lot of these tenancies, so we're providing them the best rates in terms of their deals."

Hendersonville father, son identified in drowning
William Butch Jackson and William Butch Jackson Jr. died trying to save 5-year-old
Published: Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at 12:16 a.m.
Police identified the two men who drowned in Lake Adger Sunday as William Butch Jackson, 48, and William Butch Jackson Jr., 21, both of Hendersonville.
The father and son jumped into the lake after a 5-year-old girl wearing a life jacket rolled off of the pontoon boat and into the water while sleeping.
The two men never resurfaced; however, the young girl was saved.
While the three were in the water, the mother, who cannot swim, was still onboard.
She frantically yelled for help and blew the horn on the boat. A nearby resident who heard the distress call jumped into the lake and rescued the girl.
Crews from eight surrounding agencies, including the Henderson County Rescue Squad dive team, responded to Lake Adger just after 4 p.m. Sunday.
The two men's bodies were recovered Sunday evening.
Several other area agencies responded to the incident including the Sunny View fire and rescue, Mills Spring fire department, Columbus fire department, Polk County Rescue Squad, Blue Ridge fire department, Henderson County Rescue Squad, Saluda fire department and Green River fire department.
The investigation is ongoing.

text: [[quoteright:330:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robocoptheseries_8294.jpg]]''[=RoboCop=]: The series'' is a 1994 Live-Action TV series following on from the ''Franchise/RoboCop'' films of the 1980/90's; 21 episodes were made with a double feature pilot. The series also followed the series' then-recent trend towards family-friendliness, and was aimed at a younger demographic, with toned-down violence and [=RoboCop=] going out of his way to use non-lethal alternatives to capture criminals. More jarringly, OCP is now merely incompetent and naive; the Old Man of the film series being replaced by the greedy, but otherwise decent, Chairman. Starring [[TheOtherDarrin Richard Eden]] the show takes place in an AlternateContinuity where [[GratuitousGreek Delta City]] (the goal of OCP in the films) is finally completed; the show ignores ''Film/RoboCop3''. The series has a new set of supporting characters; Detective Lisa Madigan is now his partner, Sgt Stan Parks now runs the precinct, Charlie Lippencott is his technician (and partly responsible for his creation) and [[TagalongKid adopted orphan]] Gadget now hangs around the police station. His son Jimmy is back, but now has a new mother, Nancy Murphy; both of which are kept in the dark over who is under the helmet. In the pilot episode we are introduced to Diana Powers, and after having her brain forcibly removed to run OCP's new [[WetwareCPU Metronet]], runs the city enabling [=RoboCop=] access to systems he normally wouldn't have.The full series is available to watch [[http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HOMCBXG/ref=dv_dp_ep1 via Amazon]], and is free for Prime members.----!!''[=RoboCop=]: The Series'' provides examples of the following tropes:* AbnormalAmmo: [=RoboCop=]'s gun can now apparently fire electronic tracking devices.* AdaptationNameChange: Due to rights issues, several characters outside of Alex Murphy[=/=][=RoboCop=] himself and his son Jimmy were renamed for the series: Anne Lewis became Lisa Madigan, Sgt. Reed became Sgt. Parks, the Old Man became the OCP Chairman, and Ellen Murphy became Nancy Murphy.* AdaptationalHeroism: While still greedy, the OCP Chairman actually does have a conscience and cares for people, unlike the Old Man even in the [[Film/RoboCop1987 first movie]]. Whereas, even barring his SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome in ''Film/RoboCop2'', the Old Man was apathetic towards people (his anger at the ED-209 screw up was more about the product malfunctioning, not the fact that said malfunction got an employee killed), the Chairman does indeed care about people, willing to help them out and make things right when he finds out his company did something wrong.* AirVentEscape: Gadget uses one to escape from the police-station after she's been grounded. Thankfully they track her down as she's being targeted for kidnapping.* AlternateContinuity: The series assumes that the [[Film/RoboCop3 third film]] doesn't exist, and that OCP has already completed the Delta City project (which was one of the underlying threats of the original film) and is having to live with the consequences, while Robo is more directly tied to OCP interests and his immediate family.* BondageIsBad: One of the villains of "What Money Can't Buy" made frequent mentions of bondage.* BorrowedCatchphrase: Madigan steals Robo's line when she wants to end a conversation about a woman she doesn't like but [=RoboCop=] feels is on the right track to being a decent human being.* BrainInAJar: In episode one Diana is murdered to provide the brain needed for OCP's city managing supercomputer. [=RoboCop=] himself could also be considered this, as he is a brain with a human face and a few organs for life support. Diana, unlike [=RoboCop=], doesn't keep any of her original body, instead becoming somehow a ProjectedMan.* CaliforniaDoubling: Due to the fact that it was a Canadian production, locations in Toronto and the surrounding area act as doubles for Detroit.* CatchPhrase: [=RoboCop=]'s customarily excuse for leaving is ''"I must go. Somewhere there is a crime happening."'' Often played for laughs but it's a constant reminder that he doesn't have true free-will and the job is all he has.* ChekhovsSkill: In "The Human Factor", during a scene where Robo has to defuse a bomb, his father Russell (who is unaware that his son is [=RoboCop=]) teaches him to aim more steadily with his dataspike to press a deactivation switch. Several scenes later, when the bomber tries to detonate a nuclear device in the OCP building, Robo uses this same tactic to deactivate the device.* ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs: Commander Cash Super Flakes are described as being nothing but sugar and that with advertising leads to a crime-spree committed by children. [[spoiler: However it's worse than that as they're a psychotic compound that allows mind control.]]* ClearMyName: "Prime Suspect" sees Murphy having to do this after Bob Takker (a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Jim Bakker) was killed and Murphy's blamed for it.* ConsummateLiar:** The mayor turns out to be so experienced in politics that ''anything'' he says, no matter how blatantly true or false it is, cannot be confirmed to be true or false under lie detector analysis. Even claiming to be UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln registers as having a 50% chance of being true, when he's subjected to a lie detector ''functionally identical to [=RoboCop=]'s''.** In the episode "[=RoboCop=] vs. Commander Cash", Robo has trouble arresting Rex Jones (an OCP researcher who's disguised as the titular cartoon character) because he claims that Robo "doesn't fight other superheroes" due to "cartoon law". Due to his overriding directives, Robo identifies Jones' statements as factual (and he turns out to be right).** The ex-lawyer baddie of "When Justice Fails". When he says something, Robo's lie detector simply gives up and says analysis is impossible.* ContinuityNod:** In [[Film/RoboCop1987 the first movie]], [=RoboCop=] ends up bodily throwing people out of his way when trying to access the department archive computers for information. In here, whenever he turns up in that part of the station, everyone hurriedly gets out of his way.** The first film plays the Cobra Assault Cannon up as an anti-[=RoboCop=]weapon. In the pilot, Pudface finally shows what the gun can actually [[OneHitKo do]] to [=RoboCop=].* CorporateSponsoredSuperhero: Commander Cash.* CrapsackWorld: While leagues above the world seen in the original film trilogy, the world in ''The Series'' isn't a picnic, either, with a war in the Amazon going on (though such a war was mention in the original trilogy, too), sections of Beverly Hills and Brooklyn have been walled off, and it's perfectly legal to market plushies that double as hand grenades and steroids (with the FamilyUnfriendlyAesop that weaker kids deserve to get bullied, no less) to children, speaking English in France can land you in jail, the Italian government has fallen, and the mayor and DA are corrupt and in league with other criminals (with the latter having a fake law degree and helped to frame someone for said phony degree).* {{Cyberspace}}: Diana solely inhabits one after having her brain scooped out and placed in-charge of Delta City; in ''Heartbreakers'' Charlie visits in an attempt to figure out what is going on with [=RoboCop=] but instead ends up falling for Diana unaware that she's a disembodied brain running the city.* ExactWords: In one episode, an escaping villain has his car computer guide him out of the city, avoiding all traffic jams and tollbooths. Diana has the computer guide him to a police roadblock.-->'''Diana:''' "This service has been brought to you by... [=RoboCop=]! ''Sucker!''"* EmbarrassingFirstName: Gadget's name turns out to be Gertrude Modesto, she and Jimmy don't like it.* EnhanceButton: ** The old "that last thing a person sees is still in their retina" idea pops up. Robo leans in and and zooms into the eyeball. "It's not clear, but we can clear it up" he says before getting the computer system to fix the garbled image revealing the killer.** In ''Illusions'' Madigan is investigating a magician and comes across an old photo of him with his son. She presses the button and gets a 3D image; then she zooms into the throat and figures out the "boy" doesn't have an Adam's Apple thus figures out it's a woman (not a fool-proof method to figure out the gender of a person at any-rate) and who she is.* ExpandedStatesOfAmerica: One of the ''[=MediaBreak=]'' segments in an episode mentioned a debate about Newfoundland becoming about the 53rd state. Ironically, despite being a staple in other uses of this trope, Puerto Rico ''isn't'' one of them, as another episode has a [=MediaBreak=] segment state the government sold it off to a company because they didn't have plans for it.* EvilVegetarian: Dr. Cray Z. Mallardo, although being a vegetarian has little to do with him being a villain. * FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Robo still has his giant gun, but uses it mostly on objects, not people. He also has a whole new slew of less-lethal options.* FakinMacGuffin: ''Heartbreakers'' has [=RoboCop=] having to collect pieces of an advanced weapon in order to save his [ex]wife. When he turns up with the final piece it's revealed it's just an empty box.* GratuitousDiscoSequence: In one episode, Diana is corrupted by a virus that causes her to transform herself and her workstation into a full Disco club.* GroinAttack: Near the end of the episode "Inside Crime", a clown-like gunman has Rochelle Carney (the OCP executive in charge of the "Inside Crime" television program) held hostage from within his custody and that he tells [=RoboCop=] and a few police officers to not do anything stupid. Rochelle decides that she's had enough and attacks the gunman herself, first with a back right elbow to his crotch, then a right kick to his groin before finally finishing him off with a hard right punch, to which she then jumps on top of him from upon the table and attempts to attack him much further before being pulled off by her fellow OCP executives.* {{Hologram}}/VirtualGhost: OCP secretary Diana, whose memory was uploaded to the OCP supercomputer after her death in the pilot episode.* HospitalParadiso: In one episode, a doctor lost her job at a prestigious hospital and had to work in the slums due to her low success rate. It turns out that her former coworkers kept their rate up by deliberately denying service to patients they couldn't guarantee an easy recovery, whereas she tried to help everyone she could, hoping to at least save a few lives.* HostageForMacGuffin: In ''Heartbreakers'' Robo is forced to steal components for a prototype weapon (the said Heartbreaker) to secure the freedom of his (ex)wife; putting him at odds with his programming and police.* HyperspaceArsenal: Aside from extra ammunition (as referred to in the episode "Provision 22"), Robo carries several types of both non-lethal and lethal ordinance (mines, airbags), coolant and other devices/gadgets that would be used in any given episode, all stored in his left leg.* IceBreaker: The episode ''When Justice Fails'' is full of this; as it's centered around a cryonicatics/fuel company. First Robo's legs get's frozen and he breaks it attempting to pursue the criminal. Later he gets completely frozen in about 3 seconds but thankfully just before he's shattered into pieces he uses a plug to warm himself up (again in seconds). Then the criminal slips on the ice, falling right into a stream of liquid nitrogen, freezes solid instantly and breaks into pieces when something falls on him.* IHaveYourWife: A villain kidnaps Robo's wife from his old life. The item he is to steal is a ray gun that causes heart attacks, called the Heartbreaker. Initially, his built-in RestrainingBolt stops him, using ObstructiveCodeOfConduct three, "uphold the law". As soon as Robo pictures his wife in danger, directive two -- "protect the innocent" -- overrides this.* InnocentInnuendo: The pilot features a scene with two minor villains facing each other, bouncing up and down, and panting. Then the camera zooms out and rotates to reveal that they're working out on treadmills that are facing each other.* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: Why [=RoboCop=] hasn't revealed himself to his wife and son [[spoiler:although his dad finds out eventually]]. This plot point means that the series disregards the second movie, which showed Murphy and his wife reuniting briefly, as well.* JustInTime: In "The Human Factor", Robo defuses the nuclear bomb with a single second left on the timer.* LawEnforcementInc: Inverted; Robo often works ''against'' his employers to protect average citizens (including his wife and son).* LighterAndSofter: Following up on ''Film/RoboCop3'', the series was dulled down to appeal to family audiences (and, indeed, it was shown in syndication in Canada on weekends at pre-watershed timeslots). [=RoboCop=] didn't kill (he used gadgets to incapacitate them), the humour was dulled down and the plots became cartoonish. It's pretty much the start of the DorkAge of [=RoboCop=] where the target audience are now grade school kids of fourth grade or older. Merchandise from the show even includes a [=RoboCop=] action figure that say MoralGuardian-approved lines ("[[DrugsAreBad Say No To Drugs!]]" among other things).* LivingLieDetector: Robo gains the ability to discern whether a person is lying or not through their vocal inflections. Unfortunately it is not infallable -- see ConsummateLiar.* MagicCountdown: The SciFi Channel once ran a marathon of the series with a humorous voiceover. One episode had a bomb set for five minutes. The running commentary points out that it takes 7:04 for the bomb to eventually be shut off.* MeaningfulName: Recurring villain Dr. Cray Z. Mallardo. Or, as he appears in personnel files: Mallardo, Cray Z., Dr. He's a MadScientist.* MerchandiseDriven: '''Commander Cash!''' the cartoon character is nothing but an advertising campaign teaching kids the joys of consumerism in order to keep the economy healthy.* MindControlDevice: One episode has a formula that renders people vulnerable to mind control if the formula is mixed with a simple calcium base (i.e. milk). It's added to a breakfast cereal.* MoodWhiplash: One moment that doubles as a TearJerker is when Robo sees his parents for the first time since he became a cyborg, he flashes back to when he took his first steps, the two encouraging him. When the flashback ends, she sees him and panics, and her husband, Robo's father, tells him to go away.* MyLittlePanzer: The Commander Cash toys are deadly enough to kill and maim. The show, of course, uses this [[BlackComedy for comedic effect]].* {{Nanomachines}}: Episode titled, appropriately enough, ''Nano'', focuses on the villain using nanotechnology as a weapon; much to the annoyance of the kidnapped scientist that designed the little blighters. They infect Metronet to turn off all the alarms and make the governing computer (with a literal GhostInTheMachine) stop paying attention to running the city. By the end of the episode they rescue the scientist and he uses the machines to help out Madigan suffering a spinal cord injury regain use of her limbs (the result of an accident caused by the villain using the machines to hijack the bus as a distraction).* NeverMyFault:** "Pudface" Morgan is a criminal (who's also Murphy's archenemy in the show) was disfigured in an accident he caused. However, the minute he sees [=RoboCop=], it's clear he blames Murphy for it and not himself.** A CorruptCorporateExecutive and StrawFeminist named Rochelle Carney who was fired in the episode "Inside Crime" after being in league in the aforementioned Pudface as part of a ratings stunt for the episode's titular ShowWithinAShow. However, while her boss was indeed hitting on her, she chose to blame his behavior and her being a woman for the reason she was fired rather than what actually got her fired, which was being in league with a well-known criminal.* NewMediaAreEvil: In ''Inside Crime'' the glamorization (and merchandising) of criminals leads children to emulate Pudface to [=RoboCop=]'s chagrin.-->'''[=RoboCop=]:''' ''"TV has a lot to answer for."'' * NineOutOfTenDoctorsAgree: Nine out of ten doctors employed by a MegaCorp recommend a drug produced by the very same company.* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed:** Recurring character Umberto Ortega is basically a stand-in for Geraldo Rivera.** "Prime Suspect" features Bob and Bambi Taker, parody versions of the then-recently divorced Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Messner, who launch a crusade against Robo. As noted under "Clear My Name", Murphy is framed Bob's murder.* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Averted, when Robo is on the run after being accused of murder, since the bullet in question could only have come from his one-of-a-kind gun, coded to his grip, and the targeting system used to aim the shot would be the one from his helmet. Later when Robo is critically damaged, and the kid sidekick shows him his prototype circuit board, letting him use it to make repairs. [[spoiler:Then the scientist who designs the board realizes the prototypes of Murphy's ''gun'' and ''helmet'' are out there...]]* NonLethalWarfare: The series took advantage of the publicity given to NLW at the time to avoid having [=RoboCop=] kill anyone. [=RoboCop=] is instead armed with an array of Non-Lethal Weapons which he uses to capture the bad guys.* NotInTheFace: 'Pudface' Morgan repeatedly tells Robo not to hit him in the face whenever he's arrested, as a prior encounter between them resulted in his facial features became malformed, which Morgan blames Robo for, though according to Parks, it was the result of an accident that Morgan himself caused.* OrganTheft: "What Money Can't Buy" deals with this as Murphy goes against a black market organ ring when two people steal a pair of lungs meant to save a boy body Murphy helped rescue in the prior episode ("Officer Down") after his body started to reject the lungs he was given in an earlier operation. [[spoiler: The duo and their boss stole the lungs are a crime boss and the boy's earlier lungs came from the same criminal ring and were taken from someone who died from tuberculosis.]]* OutOfTheInferno: Similar to the start of ''Film/RoboCop2'', Murphy steps out of the wreckage of a destroyed police car without any damage at the start of the PilotMovie after "Pudface" Morgan blows it up by firing a rocket at it.* ParodyCommercial: One of the main [[BlackComedy comedic draws]] of the show, usually advertising [[MyLittlePanzer deadly Commander Cash toys]], but oftentimes other things as well. * PGExplosives: As you would expect from a kids show all explosions do is knock people off their feet and maybe singe their clothing. Justified with [=RoboCop=] himself of course.* PoliceBrutalityGambit: In the pilot, during Robo's first attempt to arrest Cray Mallardo, the latter screams and bends over in a manner that makes it look like [=RoboCop=] is beating him from the perspective of the security camera in the corner. It wouldn't have held up in court against Robo's memory files, but [=RoboCop=] was shot by The Dragon with an enormous rifle the moment he left the building, rendering him unable to testify.* ProjectedMan: Diana, also a brain-in-a-box connected to a MagicalComputer.* RuleNumberOne: Murphy's former partner had such a code of conduct. When he later found him brainwashed, Murphy restored his memory by asking him what rule number one was.* SecretKeeper: Murphy becomes this for Diana; apparently revealing she exists would violate the public trust, his Rule #1.* ShoutOut: When Robo boards a helicopter to get into the blocked-off OCP building in one episode, he asks the pilot to "[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Take me up, Scotty."]]* ShowWithinAShow: ** Most episodes have a cartoon segment of Commander Cash; teaching us the virtues of credit cards and the positive side of pollution; basically the opposite of ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanet'' ** The episode ''Inside Crime'' focuses on the eponymous TV show that follows criminals around as they commit crime. In a ratings stunt, the producers team up with Pudface to get a showdown between him and Robo.* StrawFeminist: Two epsidoes ("Inside Crime"and "Sisters in Crime") feature a CorruptCorporateExecutive named Rochelle Carney, who outright said in her debut that she considered everything a gender issue, even blaming her getting fired when she returns on her being a woman and her boss, Aubrey Fox, being a louse who hit on her--and while Fox did indeed try to hook up with her, [[NeverMyFault she refused to acknowledge real reason she got fired]] was because she was in league with the series' {{archenemy}} "Pudface" Morgan (who, among other things, tried to kill Robo repeatedly, took a retirement home's citizen hostage, led a siege on OCP heaquarters, and helped push a deinhibitor as a diet pill) as part of a ratings stunt.* SubliminalAdvertising: Played with in ''[=RoboCop=] Vs. Comander Cash'' as they're very upfront about the hidden messages on the cereal boxes and cartoons/adverts;they can only be seen by wearing the special glasses enabling kids to see their special hidden messages just for them. Messages like "you need a Commander Cash Sleep Buddy". [[spoiler: Of course the real trick is that they're drugging the cereal making the kids mindless obey these messages.]]* SuperheroOrigin: There�s a ShowWithinAShow cartoon character named Commander Cash and in one episode someone dressed as him is instigating children to commit crimes. It turns out to be the creator of Commander Cash, Tex Jones, who was a researcher with OCP working on subliminal messaging. After another researcher working on brainwashing tried to kill him, Tex recuperated, trained, and became Commander Cash so he could lead [=RoboCop=] to the culprit.* TagalongKid: Gadget, a young orphan, turns up in the pilot and seemingly gets adopted by the police-station giving her a reason to stick around.* ThereWasADoor: Used in the opening credits. It's the same door from the original movie's drug factory raid.* TitleTheAdaptation* TimeBomb: One episode involved Robo having to dispose a nuclear bomb in the OCP building. To defuse it, he had to align two triangle-shaped switches into an hourglass. This is accomplished with (you guessed it) one second to spare.* TheWallsAreClosingIn: [=RoboCop=] once ended up in a trash compactor in one episode. [[YouFailPhysicsForever When the air pressure reached 2000 PSI]], a flashback gave him inspiration, [[BackFromTheBrink allowing him to push back the walls]].* WetwareCPU: Metronet, the computer system that runs the whole city, is run by Neurobrain, but it turns out Neurobrain needs an actual human brain to run it. After rejecting the brains of a few elderly boozed-up homelesss guys fail, the evil scientist gets the bright idea of using the brain of his young secretary and it works smashingly.* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Inverted. When [=RoboCop=] is critically damaged in the pilot episode, OCP refuses to pay his massive repair bill -- until his partner mentions that he has evidence against Cray Mallardo (who the CEO has serious issues with) in his memory banks. Upon realizing that [=RoboCop=] is still useful, the CEO authorizes [=RoboCop=]'s repairs.----

In the end, the clash between Brett Brown and his former team didn't matter. All that matters is that the 76ers have lost four of their last five games.
Never mind that the San Antonio Spurs are the gold standard in the NBA. This game proved that, despite their hot start, the Sixers are a ways from being an elite team.
Playing without all-star Tim Duncan, who was resting, the Spurs coasted to a 109-85 victory Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
The Spurs improved to 7-1 and extended their winning streak to five games. The Sixers dropped to 4-4 heading into Wednesday's home game against the Houston Rockets.

I use both the crl from arrowhead equipment and Dutch stingerz for hanging tarps. Both are pretty easy to center over the hammock. I find that I use the crl more often. Ymmv

Grifter- I have tarps from jacks r better, war bonnet, OES, and ugq..... All will serve you well. If weight is not an issue for you, consider a tarp with doors like the superfly or winter dream. ...
Sounds like you had a great time. The wbbb is a great choice. You have discovered a hammocking truth- there is no substitute for getting out and using your gear.
I would love to see pics and a report on your first hang with the new uq!
I have used the Mac cat Dlx with the wbbb. Don't know if the xlc is longer but the Mac cat has been perfect for my wbbb107982
The pic shows the Mac cat on the left and jrb hex tarp on the right. I ordered my Mac cat on Black Friday 2014 without incident. Ymmv. The jrb is heavier but you will not need to worry...
I have been very happy with the OES Mac Cat Dlx
I just found this pic. I really like the all blue rig!
Check out this link. The weights are listed there.
I have seen the old man winter with the external pole mod. It looked like you could hold a high school dance inside. Lots of room- I also was concerned about "flat spots" and decided on the single...
thanks mike- that's the help I was looking for.
Has anyone had 2qzq do the single pole pole mod on the superfly? Any guidance on pole length used would be much appreciated.
Any chance you have a pic of how you use the mitten hooks with the doors? Is it for tying them back or keeping them closed? Thanks
Love the superfly
Sounds like great service for sure
Randy has been top notch indeed. Even though I am a long way from getting my danger bird ( order 1764) he has been awesome throughout the process.
Totally agree. I have emailed Randy and his responses are quick. I spoke with him on the phone today and he answered all my questions like he had all the time in the world even though he has probably...
Thanks Zilla
Thanks MamaSmurf! :thumbup1:
Is the hammock calculator coming back soon?
Thanks and for what it's worth you did a zipper mod on my HH a while ago. Great work.
Another great video from Derek:thumbup1:
Can someone tell me the length of pole they are using with the 2qzq pole pocket on a superfly? Pics are appreciated too.
Does this apply to the thunderbird as well?
Totally agree with Paul. The uq will tend to close the loose fabric in around you.
Looks good. Enjoy
Sounds great. Pics when you receive it please.
Great pic out in front of the store. I hope you find what you're looking for.
Sounds like a memorable trip for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video Fronkey. You have my vote
Great color combo. I wouldn't have expected it to look that good. Normally black and blue makes me think of a bruise, but not anymore!
Temp in the teens with wool shirt and cap. Pretty comfy.
I have used mine into the teens with no cold butt syndrome. I did use a small square of closed cell foam in the foot box of the blackbird though.
Squirrel you are correct. :thumbup1
Pics would be appreciated if you can.
I have heard good things about wildcat hollow, except during deer hunting season. The place is downright dangerous then.
Never been to Mohican ( other than in a canoe). Would love to hang there. I'm a definite maybe
Bump.... Any proposed reschedule date?
I am looking for a pack in good shape for a Boy Scout as described in the title. Color is the least important factor. No women's packs please. Thanks for looking.
burnt orange, woodland camo, argon black, argon brown......In any color you will love what you get from Hammock Gear.
I took a chance and ordered a Mac cat deluxe on Black Friday. I immediately received a confirmation email. In one week I received a shipping notification. In three days I had my tarp. 10 days from...
Ordered on Black Friday and received in one week. 0* burrow orange/camo. It's perfect. Thanks for great gear super fast
Ordered on Black Friday and received in one week. 0* burrow orange/camo. It's perfect. Thanks for great gear super fast
My 10 year old enjoys the HH explorer deluxe with 2qzq zipper mod. YMMV
Ok thank yo Brian
I added mac cat deluxe to cart but only 10% discount was reflected and no guy line kit. Am I missing a step? Thanks. :confused:
Order #6180. 0* Burrow +1 oz.. Wooodland Camo/Burnt Orange. Merry Christmas to me! Thanks for the discount Hammock Gear!
Hi from northern Ohio.
Best of luck. I checked out the deluxe too. It was the negative experiences of others that kept me away. Please post your experiences for us. It would be great to have another reliable cottage vendor...

This appears to be just another buggy tool that fails to measure up. I didn't expect much, since I didn't pay for it. I just wish I had known it was not safe to use.
At first, this tool appeared to be more promising than WP Multi Network, which is broken as of WordPress 3.5. However, one frustrated day later I realize that Networks for WordPress (this tool) has gotten my WordPress configuration out of wack. And, it happened just as I was about to give up and remove it.
I spent most of one day trying to get this tool to facilitate just one extra network. Like WP Multi Network, a lack in instructions for how to use it made this a frustrating and drawn-out chore to say the least.
I was able to create a separate network. And, I had only little trouble figuring out how to assign a site to it. "Okay", I thought. "This appears to be going fine after all", or so I thought. Now that I have it, what do I do with it? When I list all sites, the one I assigned to the secondary network isn't there. So, I don't have access to change the site anymore. I tried multiple approaches to get around this. But, there just does not seem to be a way to do anything using the secondary network.
As I began to realize the futility of my efforts using this tool, I began to reverse the assignment to the secondary network and any other changes so I could deactivate and get rid of it. But, I keep getting a vague message, "No sites selected". I keep trying using different approaches, but still no-go. Then, I realized that the site I had assigned is now linked to what appears to be some random domain from out of the blue, "holding.blogs.local/mysite".
I have no idea what other kinds of damage this tool has done. But, I have seen enough to stop tinkering with it.
As the Lorax said, "You have been warned."

– Its 90 and humid outside… so of course you're thinking about CX season, right?
– Staging: The CCC is considering applying the State Championship staging procedure to all races. Essentially, if you've never raced in a category you would be bumped up ahead of the first rider who has lower CrossResults.com points than you. The idea is to give riders a chance to try other categories and not be staged at the back of the field if you're fast enough to start closer to the front. Or if you are out of town for the first few races, but we know that would never happen. However, the bump up would only be granted once. After that each rider is staged by his/her CCC series points, then by her/his CrossResult.com points, then by order of registration. We want to know what you think. Please leave your comments down below.
– Feel like traveling? Minnesota is hosting a CX clinic with current USA National Champ Jonathan Page.
– Want to stay closer to home? Spidermonkey Cycling presents – Cracking the Code: Tim Johnson's Cyclocross Secrets.
Date: Saturday, August 24

Beginners: 9:00 am – Noon, $75
Intermediate & advanced 9:00 am – 4:00 pm, $175
– Village-Verdigris CX is also planning a Junior focused clinic for mid August. Stay tuned for details.
– The 2013 CCC Series Sponsorship proposal is finally ready.
– And finally… Now is a great time to update your BikeReg.com rider profile with your USAC license number. Also, make sure your USAC license has your correct team information. Did you know you can race for different road, mountain, and CX teams?

is simple and direct-beef, chicken, shrimp, salmon, and vegetarian served on a plate or in a bowl. Oddly for an Asian restaurant, they make you pay extra for brown rice, but you can double up the meat/fish portions inexpensively. But to cut to the chase, the food was delicious. My group of four tried the chicken, the beef, and the vegetarian and all were cooked perfectly. The vegetables were firm and crunchy, but cooked perfectly. Between the chicken and the steak, we all preferred the steak. There were nice size chunks of beef with no fat or gristle. The chicken on the other hand, had all been hand processed, but that left some stringy parts and fat to pick out. Not a lot, but enough to make it noticeable and less than enjoyable. My only other disappointment is with the rigidity of the menu. Waba cleverly offers Half-Half bowls, a great idea of satisfying diverse pa
lates. But when I asked for a half-half bowl of steak and shrimp, I was told you could only do steak and chicken. I offered to pay more for shrimp, but no luck. I tried doing it for salmon as well, but no luck again. My suggestion to Waba is if you are going to offer half-half bowls, why not make it for EVERYTHING on the menu! The service is quick and the restaurant is clean and bright, making it an inexpensive and fun night out for the family!

Consumer protection agency's data collection comes under scrutiny
Some of the critics' concerns stem from the lack of congressional and executive branch oversight because of the autonomy the agency has been given as a part of the Federal Reserve.
"Often unfocused, overly inclusive, and not coordinated with other regulators," is how the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in a letter to Cordray described the bureau's demands for data.
Many Democrats defend the bureau's data collection as vital to carrying out its mandate, even as they acknowledge the need for sensitivity in handling individual privacy rights.
"If we're going to expect the (agency) to create a level playing field for consumers, they're going to need to have at least the same level of access to information about consumers as the largest banks and financial services providers have," Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said at a hearing in July on the bureau's data collection.
A report by the consumer protection bureau's inspector general noted a need for a comprehensive strategy to guide agencywide information security.
On Capitol Hill, the House of Representatives launched an investigation earlier this month into four former bureau employees who left to start a business, raising concerns that they were gaming the regulations they helped write.
Howard said that lawmakers might be less worried about the agency if it were to collect information only for specific complaints against specific companies. But consumer protection bureau officials see that "part of their mandate is just to flat-out gather information, even if it's not about a specific complaint," he said. "That's what's catching political heat."

Is there an advantage to installing Linux on a SATA or IDE drive? I'm hoping to stream media from this server so would it be best to keep the faster SATA disks for that data?
I'm setting up a new Home Server based on Debian Linux, and Greyhole storage pooling, to replace my aging Windows Home Server (Also a Homebrew).
I'm recycling hardware, and was wondering how to split the data across the different disks. Eventually, once backups and bits have been copied across from the old server, I'll be using a number of SATA drives and a couple of IDE drives of varying sizes.

Passport Contol
Arriving in the UK (Passport Control and Customs)
Everyone arriving from overseas at Bristol Airport has to go through Passport Control. UK Border Force officers scan passports and cross-check passenger details to ensure that only those eligible to enter the country can do so. New technology enabling all passports to be scanned on entry into the UK has enhanced border security, but can result in slightly longer waiting times at ports across the country. You can help UK Border Force officers by having your passport open to the photograph page and being ready for examination by the time you reach the inspection point.
Passengers not holding a British, EU or European Economic Area passport must complete a landing card provided by the airline they are travelling with. This should be provided by the airline during the flight to the UK.
If you are travelling with €10 000 or more, please declare it to customs before entering or leaving the EU. For more information, please visit: ec.europa.eu/eucashcontrols.
We endeavour to provide both a warm welcome to visitors to the South West and a convenient return home for local passengers after a trip away. However, the UK Border Force manages all border control points, enforcing immigration and customs regulations, and the safety and security of the UK must, understandably, be its top priority.
Automated Passport gates
By using the latest technology the UK Border Force can now provide faster checks for some passengers while maintaining border security. An automated gate system is in place at Bristol Airport and can be used by passengers over the age of 18 with an ePassport containing an electronic chip.
The ePassport gates are operational at specific times on a daily basis, to coincide with our inbound passenger peaks. These opening hours are subject to staffing levels with the UK Border Force.
Over 18? Use the ePassport gates this summer and speed through immigration for a faster return to the UK.
How to use ePassport gates
- Have your passport ready and remove it from the cover
- Remove your sunglasses or hat
- If you are travelling as a family, please go to passport control together.
- Open your passport on the photo page
- Hold the photo page down on the reader and hold it in position
- Look ahead at the screen until it turns green, then remove your passport and walk through the gate
For more information visit the UK Border Force website.

Facebook Inc. (FB) Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg is scheduled to be questioned in a lawsuit alleging that seven technology companies broke antitrust laws by agreeing to not recruit from each other. Facebook's COO, Sandberg, To Be Questioned Over Antitrust Laws [bloomberg.com]
U.S. District Judge Lucy H. Koh in San Jose, California, yesterday issued a ruling allowing a deposition to take place around April 23. Google Inc. (GOOG), Intuit Inc. (INTU) and Apple Inc. (AAPL) are defendants in the case. Neither Facebook nor Sandberg, who was formerly an executive at Google, are defendants.
Plaintiffs argue their discovery has confirmed that senior officers at the companies personally entered into non- solicitation agreements to eliminate competition for each other's employees, kept the pacts hidden from the workers, supervised the implementation of the plans and policed each other.

Video: Boosting Business Growth in Nicaragua
June 18, 2013
A TechnoServe business plan competition helped Verónica Bucardo take her fledgling textile manufacturing business to new heights.
Verónica Bucardo is proud of the steady growth of IKO Imagen, the textile and handbag manufacturing company she co-founded in Managua, Nicaragua. She credits Idea Tu Empresa (ITE), a business plan competition organized by TechnoServe, with helping the IKO Imagen team refine its business plan and set a course for success. After entering and winning the 2010 competition, IKO Imagen received training, support and $10,000 in seed money that allowed the business to invest in several pieces of industrial equipment and diversify its products and services. "I am sure that if we had not won TechnoServe's competition, our growth would have been much slower," Veronica says.

Too lazy too, or incapable of, working out the answers on her own. (She lost the key, not the school board.)
Unfair to the ones who got an 'A'. It only helps the dumb ones.
You know, I love Jeff, but he's never been a teacher….Not having the answer key is no problem at all. Just ask a couple of the A students what the answers are….Even if a couple are wrong, (And believe me, other students will call them out on it!), it will stimulate discussion of why, and every one will learn more than they would have in the first place……BTW, just because you are the teacher doesn't mean you can't be humble at times like that…It's your job as a teacher to show how to react and recover from such things…You think you're teaching math, science or Language arts….? What you are really doing is modeling how to live a life…You're on stage, everybody in the room is looking at you…If you can't be real when you mess up, stay away from teaching……Kids are screwed up enough already….
Even the healthiest people can be tainted by a pathological society.
I don't recall that ever happening when I went to school in the 1960's-1970's.
That is one alternative to the problem, might not be the best. It would help if tests didn't count for so much in school now. All that corporate test taking dominance.
OK, I know it's only a comic strip, but this makes so little sense that it's like a bad version of The Matrix .
She couldn't just… cancel… the quiz?
In the 50s I can't remember a test that the teacher didn't create her/himself. She should know the answers.
Varnes, there should be more teachers like you. You seem to leave your ego at home and manage to think a bit outside the box. Wish my boys had run into more — hell, SOME — teachers like you.
I rather like this strip because of Caufields statement.
Good comment, Varnes… : ) Every great teacher that I ever had always said they were constantly learning from their students (and that was one of the things they loved about it.)
There is no better way to learn than by teaching!
Amen … amen.
I had some teachers like Ms. Varnes. They were the best!
Three of the kids appear to be chagrined by this news. They don't want to settle for Bs. Jef Mallett doesn't make who's-smart-and-who-isn't a prominent theme in "Frazz"? Heck, no!.
