Raytheon Delivers First Standard Missile-6 From New Alabama Missile Integration Facility
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) delivered the first Standard Missile-6 all-up-round to the U.S. Navy from its new integration and testing facility in Huntsville, Ala. SM-6 defends naval vessels against fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles.
"SM-6 is a game-changing, transformational fleet defense missile, and we're on track to reach initial operating capability this year," said Dr. Taylor W. Lawrence, president of Raytheon Missile Systems. "Our state-of-the-art production facility in Huntsville will play a significant role in delivering this asset to the U.S. Navy on time and on budget for years to come."
Raytheon opened the doors of its new $75 million, 70,000 square-foot, all-up-round production facility at Redstone Arsenal in November 2012. The facility features advanced tools and the latest processes for missile production, enabling Raytheon to streamline processes, reduce costs and add increased value for the warfighter.
"The SM-6's capabilities signal a new era in fleet defense for our U.S. Navy warfighters," said Wes Kremer, vice president of Air and Missile Defense Systems for Raytheon Missile Systems. "The Huntsville team is fully committed to delivering this missile to our country's sailors with the kind of mission assurance they've come to rely on."
During a September 2012 test, SM-6 destroyed a cruise missile target using a remote cue from Raytheon's JLENS. The test was a significant step toward further extending a ship's defended footprint. About the Standard Missile-6SM-6 delivers a proven over-the-horizon air defense capability by leveraging the time-tested advantages of the Standard Missile's airframe and propulsion.- The SM-6 uses both active and semi-active guidance modes and advanced fuzing techniques.
- It incorporates the advanced signal processing and guidance control capabilities from Raytheon's Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile.
- SM-6 has been selected to fulfill the U.S. Navy's sea-based terminal role, which provides defense against ballistic missiles in their terminal phase of flight.

text: Hello. Here's a question that I've been pondering for a while which I thought you guys might humour me with an answer to. I know that LFS is all about gaining control of your linux, so all software is compiled from source. However, there are a few packages which I need for work which are not open source (the best example is Maple). So, if I want to install Maple I can't compile it myself. Is there an LFS policy for this situation? Cheers all Dave 8o)

From the Publisher
The first edition of the book met with high praise: "A clearly written volume that will be useful to both students and laymen. The authors successfully have related developments in Missouri to national trends. . . . No other source provides as comprehensive a survey of race relations in Missouri. The authors also do well in tracing the changes that occurred in the black population over time and in showing the impact of black urbani- zation on political developments."--Missouri Historical Review

Great invite!
To the Shore Rectangle Invitations Great quality and color. Perfect invite for a beach wedding. I added a picture to the top of the invite. It came great!!!
Gorgeous Save the Date

Loved it! It is exactly what we wanted!
To the Shore Pocket Invitations I have to say I was very pleased with the quality and prompt shipment of my items! I highly recommend them for all your wedding invite needs!
Save the Date
To the Shore Save the Date Magnets Everything is ALMOST perfect about the save the date. However, the envelope is so small the magnet BARLEY fits. You have to keep moving it around for like 5 minutes until you get it just in that right spot to be able to close the envelope. :( If you are going to order these, either be prepared to spend a lot of time trying to fit the magnet into the envelope provided, or spend more money on envelopes that'll fit the magnet easily.


text: The Ellen Whitby wiki last edited by Txapote on 07/16/13 05:37PM View full history While Deadpool was held in Crossmore Institution in England, Dr. Whitby offered to help him. She soon after helped him escape from the institution and confessed her love for him, but he wouldn't accept her. Deadpool then discovered she had his dismembered body parts in her refrigerator and also she was planning to kill the warden of Crossmore Institution. Deadpool then made his own plan to kill then warden with explosive tea that would explode when in contact with heat. Unbeknownst to Deadpool, Whitby was in the facility when the explosives were set and she was caught in the explosion which damaged her body. Ellen survived the explosion and confronted Deadpool at her house while he was dumping his dismembered body parts. Deadpool then told her he was in love with someone else, but due to her instability the news caused her to shoot herself.

- Excellent Quality Review by Michael
Price Value Quality While the product is excellent, let me explain three stars for price and value. I wish that I could have ordered more than one unit during one purchase. Although I wanted two units for one shipment, the computer only would allow me to request one unit per shipment. If I wanted the second unit, I would have had to reorder again like the first unit and pay another stiff postage fee. Still, I know of no other place where this quality of lawn bag can be found for its quality.

- Q: If I lay these bags flat, how wide are they? How long is the roll?
- Show Answer
- A: Hello,
If you lay the bags flat, they are 40 inches wide by 48 inches long. What do you mean how long is the roll? Like if it were completely unravelled, how long would it be? If so, there are 50 bags on a roll. So 48 inches x 50 = 2400 inches or 200 feet. Let us know if you have any further questions.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
Is it possible to have admin running on a distinct server (or virtual), for security reasons?
I managed to set up a new admin path in local.xml and a new admin domain in magento settings but I can still access admin on the old domain. Example:
Frontend server: example.com Admin server: admin.example.com Admin path: /newadmin/
Each time I access example.com/newadmin/ I am redirected to admin.example.com (that is good for usability but not good for security)
Is it possible to remove admin section from from magento controller and use it only on a secondary server? They will share the same database. Content (product images) can be rsync or shared. Do you think this will be good for security?
I don't know how it would be more secure unless you had the admin server on a lan. It can help your performance.

From now until the last fireworks light up Sochi's sky on February 23, G Adventures will offer up the best original and curated content from around the web. Want to follow along? We'll share our take on Sochi 2014 through through the @gadventures handle, on Facebook—and right here on the Looptail. Check out all of our Winter Games–related articles here. This is your planet—see it at play.
Today and tomorrow, the skies above Sochi will belong to the vert-crazed men and women of snowboard halfpipe as they flip, grind, and McTwist themselves high into the air in pursuit of the Games' first medals. Since its introduction as an official event at Nagano in 1998, snowboarding has quickly asserted itself as one of winter's boldest, brashest, and badass-est sports.
From Humble Beginnings
While relatively new to the Games, snowboarding's roots date back at least a century, when the sport's earliest pioneers first lashed logs and branches to their feet with rope or sleigh reins. Competitive events (thankfully employing primitive versions of modern boards) popped up in the United States in the 1960s, but the sport really took off in the 1980s and '90s as a winter alternative to skateboarding. Today, over 40 countries claim membership in the World Snowboard Association, including India, Peru, Chile, and Japan. And while the northern countries (particularly the United States) tend to dominate the podium, the sport's worldwide appeal continues to grow.
Learn the Lingo
Athletes are tribal, and all sports have their own unique cultures, but few are as robust, unique, and impenetrable to outsiders as snowboarding's. Its membership may be global, but snowboarders speak in a lingua franca that transcends national, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. While you're watching the events, here's a sampling of some of the head-scratching terms you may encounter:
bail [beyl] v
to unsuccessfully land a trick.
butter [buht-er] n
a move in which the rider presses down on the nose of the board and swings the tail to the front. buttery adj used to describe a flexible board better equipped to producing this move.

the act of turning the snowboard.
chatter [chat-er] n
the vibrations the board produces against the terrain or, more commonly, while riding a rail or edge.
crunchy [kruhn-chee] adj

fakie [feyk-ee] v
to ride backwards.
50/50 [fif-tee fif-tee] n
a trick performed on boxes or rails in which the rider pivots with the back foot to bring the board perpendicular to the edge, then pivots again to bring the board's nose back in front before dismounting.
grab [grab] n
a trick in which the rider grasps the nose or heel of the board in midair.
grind [grahynd] n (v grinded, grinding)
the act of riding along the edge of a rail or other obstacle.
jib [jib] n

Getting There
Snowboarding was one of five new sports added to the Winter Games between 1992 and 2002 — and was first included in the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. Interested in visiting the city where snowboarding took the world stage for the first time in history?

Non-Permanent appearance of Happiness And Distress
O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.
Bhagavad Gita 2.14,
Srila Prabhupada
Special Mercy
Manifestation of Krishna's Energy
Lord Krishna by one of His plenary portions enters every universe and every atom and thus unlimitedly manifests His infinite energy all over the material creation.
Krishna's Representation in Sacrifices
Of sacrifices I am the chanting of the holy names [japa].
Bhagavat Gita 10.25
Benefits of Chanting The Holy Name
In this Age of Kali, the holy name of the Lord, the Hare Krishna mantra, is the incarnation of Lord Krishna. Simply by chanting the holy name, one associates with the Lord directly. Anyone who does this is certainly delivered.
Krishna's Opulence
Of Lights I am the radiant Sun.
Bhagavad Gita 10.21,
Lord Krishna
I regard as great even the smallest gift offered by My devotees in pure love, but even great offerings presented by nondevotees do not please Me
Holy Name of The Lord
In this age of Kali, the holy name of the Lord, the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, is the incarnation of Lord Krishna.
Attaining All Perfection
Regardless of time or place, one who chants the holy name, even while eating or sleeping, attains all perfection.
Three Great Riches of Life
In Vedic literature Krishna is the central point of attraction and His service is our activity. To attain the platform of love of Krishna is life's ultimate goal. Therefore Krishna, Krishna's service and love of Krishna are the three great riches of life.

of Montreal – Aureate Gloom
Aureate Gloom is not an album to leave anything to doubt. Like of Montreal's twelve previous albums, this latest release features a cover that lovingly, obsessively pastiches the likes of The Incredible String Band. It has a title that could mocks hazy, early '70s pretension. Opening track, 'Bassem Sabry', arrives in a barrage of guitars pretending to be jets landing, 'Back in the USSR'-style, and rolls into a funk-laden slice of melodrama that sounds like an...

Coming four years after Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, Hungry Ghosts represents the effortless fun that the band have displayed and exceled in since coming on the scene.

The UN must ensure that UNAMID has the focus, resources, capacity, and will to deliver and report on its core mandate to protect civilians in Darfur.
18 years ago, the International Criminal Court was founded to deal with war criminals, yet Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir remains free. #JusticeMatters
What amount of suffering should Darfur's victims endure for the UN Security Council to act decisively on the situation in Darfur?
With the wars in both Sudan and South Sudan escalating, the United States needs to enhance its efforts in the areas of accountability and consequences, diplomacy and peacemaking, democracy building, and aiding and protecting the most vulnerable.
The UN peacekeeping mission in Darfur has withheld evidence about Sudan's involvement in serious crimes. An immediate investigation is needed.

"Jaadu Remote Desktop is a fantastic product."
The Jaadu Remote Desktop allows me to remotely connect to my Windows XP desktop with no fuss nor need to ferret through reams of jargon-filled techno-babble. I merely needed to open the XP Remote Desktop port (3389) on my 2Wire 2701 router.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A buoy (/ˈbɔɪ/, also /ˈbwɔɪ/ or US /ˈbuːiː/) is a floating device that can have many purposes. It can be anchored (stationary) or allowed to drift with the sea wave. The word, of Old French or Middle Dutch origin, is (in UK English) now most commonly pronounced /ˈbɔɪ/ (identical with boy, as in buoyancy). In American English the pronunciation is closer to "boo-ee."

'Model congregation' finds new life
Twenty-five years ago, as a fledgling Jewish congregation took root and began to grow in Henrico County, it flourished first on the passion of its 40 founding families and their vision of a culture that was participatory, egalitarian, and child-inclusive. As additional families flocked to the congregation and services began to outgrow the members' homes, Congregation Or Atid blossomed anew with a move to a building convenient to its membership – thanks to a helping hand from others in the community. Since 1986, Or Atid has seen rabbis come and go and membership numbers ebb and flow, while weathering events from a building fire to a second move. But two things have remained constant as the congregation enters its second quarter-century enjoying an upward swing in membership, a dynamic new rabbi, and a newly refurbished synagogue: the passion of its members, and support from the outer community. Ron Fink, a vice president at Or Atid and one of the original "Founding 40," has observed the transformation with delight. He remembers well the initial meetings in congregants' homes, and the move to the first building site on Parham Road – while it was still in use by West End Assembly of God (WEAG). [WEAG] "needed a new facility, and while they were building the new church, we were allowed to move in," recalls Fink gratefully, adding that WEAG leaders bent over backwards to accommodate Or Atid's needs. "We had this Saturday-Sunday coexistence for a year." Fink also has fond recollections of the early days, and of the bonds that formed among the founding members. "It was such a tight community," he says. "It was interwoven into our lives. If you didn't show up for services one week, everyone would notice. They'd say, 'Oh my gosh, where's Ron?'" Energy and spirit Last month, Congregation Or Atid completed its move into a newly renovated facility on Patterson Avenue. And on August 1, the congregation officially welcomed Rabbi Royi Shaffin as its new spiritual leader. In between the two moves, the congregation went through a number of "peaks and valleys," as Fink put it, that often afflict religious organizations. From its membership peak of 240 families, the numbers had declined to less than half that. The children of the once- young families had grown up, and many parents had drifted away. In addition to the shrinking congregation (typical of many religious institutions these days), lagging attendance and turnover in rabbis, there were administrative issues, budget pressures, and maintenance problems with the aging building on Parham Road. Among the remaining members, says Fink, there seemed to be a creeping malaise. "Even founding-family members were saying it's not the place it used to be," says Fink. "The energy was lacking; people were missing something." And so, one might say, the stage was set for Rabbi Shaffin. Chosen after an extensive search that included interviews and weekend visits with candidates who led services, taught school and attended "Meet the Rabbi" socials, Shaffin might appear to be somewhat of a misfit for a congregation with Or Atid's 50-plus demographics. At 37, he arrived from New Jersey wielding technological tools unfamiliar to most of the members, and wasted no time establishing a blog and launching a Twitter campaign, public Facebook page and congregational Facebook page as a means of engaging the public and building community. But from the first, says Fink, "Age was absolutely no barrier. It was a marriage – it was a match. The thing we were most missing is what comes most naturally to him; he's injected so much energy and spirit. "Just tying him to this chair is tough," adds Fink, gesturing toward Shaffin as he fidgets during an interview. Who is intelligent? As for Rabbi Shaffin, he saw in Or Atid a congregation in need of revitalization, but with the potential – and forward-thinking members – to achieve it. "Many congregations of all denominations, become stale, routinized, ritualized – empty of meaning and spirituality," says Shaffin. "In the Conservative and Orthodox movements, there's a concentration on Jewish Law. In the Reform movement, it's about social action and changing the world for the better. In neither of those [missions] is mention of God. "But it's all about connection to God," says Shaffin. "If you have done a ritual or a social action project, and it is devoid of God, then you've missed the point." At Congregation Or Atid, says Shaffin, he met members who were hungry for that spiritual connection. "I received such a positive response to the way I conduct service, and to the way I view Judaism and the future of Judaism." What's more, reflects Shaffin, he observed that Or Atid is a "learning congregation." Paraphrasing a principle from Jewish teachings, he recites, "Who is intelligent? The one who learns from every person." "I heard the history," says Shaffin. "And [this congregation] has learned from its past, and learned from its present. "I was looking for a synagogue with a future," concludes Shaffin. "And I believe this congregation is uniquely positioned. . . It's a model congregation of the 21st century – a congregation of visionaries." Bursting at the seams With the move to its new location – the former home of E. Carlton Wilton Properties on Patterson Avenue – Or Atid now has the flexibility to grow again. The space that was Wilton's loading dock has been transformed into an entryway, lined with bricks from the Parham Road building. In the space that was Wilton's warehouse is the sanctuary and multi-purpose room, which features retractable walls that allow expansion to a patio and the potential for tented space to accommodate large crowds. And just as WEAG offered a hand up 25 years ago, community members and other organizations have stepped forward to help Or Atid with the transition to the new space. Before the renovations on Patterson Avenue were complete, Jewish Community Center leaders told Or Atid members not to fret about the possibility of having to vacate the Parham Road facility (now owned by Richmond Montessori School) and do without meeting space. "You'll have a roof," JCC leaders assured the congregation. In addition, the members at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, located adjacent to Or Atid, have offered the use of their parking lot on High Holy Days. On a tour of the repurposed building, Shaffin and Fink point with pride to a foyer highlighted by Jerusalem stone, a painting commissioned for the new space, and memorial plaques brought from the Parham Road site. The facility also boasts a full meat and dairy kitchen, and ample classroom space to house the congregation's nationally recognized school. The Helen and Sam Kornblau Religious School, recognized as a "Framework for Excellence School," is the first and only religious school in the Commonwealth and one of only 88 schools in the nation to receive the honor from the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. In the multi-purpose room, Shaffin and Fink describe the growing crowds that are attending popular social events, such as the "Shabarbeques" celebrating the Sabbath. As the congregation's growth cycle continues on its latest surge, says Fink, synagogue leaders are already looking at ways to expand the building – which was fashioned with that flexibility in mind. "This synagogue can only go up," says Rabbi Shaffin. "It's going to be bursting at the seams." "For me, as a founding member," reflects Fink, "this is bringing back the same feeling as when we were starting. "I have a lot of pride in where we've come in 25 years."

Travinia brings contemporary elegance to Willow Lawn
It was another win for Willow Lawn when Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened there six months ago, nestled in the heart of the re-made shopping center. The contemporary American Italian restaurant boasts 13 locations up and down the East Coast, with the Henrico location opening in August.
In the same week, I hit up Travinia twice, once for lunch and once for a late dinner. At lunchtime on a weekday, I was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and by the number of working professionals in nice suits on their lunch breaks. When we first walked in, I was concerned our meal would be a little too pricey based on the décor – it's a really nice place. Luckily, the menu has a variety of options for every budget. > Read more.
Soak up the fun
'SpongeBob' movie energizes with wit, laughter
There's a ton of sugar in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Literal sugar, as SpongeBob Squarepants (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) inhale their own weight in cotton candy and eat ice cream, one scoop per mouthful.
At one point we burrow into the brain of our boxy yellow hero and discover the inner workings of his brain: googly-eyed cakes and candies that giggle and sing. All of which is extremely appropriate for a film like Sponge Out of Water. Because not only is the movie sweet (the "awwww" kind of sweet), but it's the equivalent of a 30-candy bar sugar rush, zipping between ideas like a sponge on rocket skates.
The story under all this is really not that complicated. SpongeBob flips burgers at the Krusty Krab. > Read more.

What, was the sex and pregnancy part completely at the pace of the manga as it was going till that point? I don't think so. That was a quick dirty was to wrap up a manga in 10 chaps.
Yeah it was all to rush the manga. Maybe because it was losing rating that the producers and other staff just needed to end it.
EDIT: Hey I just noticed!!I'm well known now, how many posts do u need to have for u to become well known??
^Probably 250 posts. The designations are always by round #s.
I don't think the staff had much to do with it, though popularity must have impacted Jump's decision to set the manga deadline when it was set.

I like the ending, but it dissapoints me too...
I don't like the fact that they quit the Track just because of the accident. It feels like giving up hopes because of accident. And the manga seems to be out of sport theme each days.
Despite all my dissapoints, It still worth much too. The manga is soo cuute... The Ending is very well drawn and it makes the final chapter becomes cool. It is kinda sad that this already over since I really enjoy reading this manga for its good design and the CUTEEEE Suzuka-chan.
I'm looking wait for the mangaka's next manga.
Wish a chapter for that new manga by mangaka of Ichigo 100% was scanned, or has it been already scanned? I wanna read it .

Errr...........Israelis have gotten used to it. Hence. Same in case of Delhi/Mumbai.

Errr...........Israelis have gotten used to it. Hence. Same in case of Delhi/Mumbai.
US hasn't gotten used + they're quite impatient, that doesn't help.
The threats posed by Islamic radicalism to the United States are not trivial to the 3,000+ people who lost their lives 10 years ago today, or the their families and loved ones.
The idea that it is only US that can over-react to threats is just wrong.
1950's McCarthyism was a major overreaction to the threat of the cold war but in some ways it is similar to the early part of the war on terror.
The threat of Stalin taking over in Europe was real, communism taking over in China happened, the idea of commissars and political officers in the workplace in the US or soviet paratroopers landing in Kansas was always nonsense. Would the US have been willing to spend as much as it did unless the population was convinced the threat was to them personally not to the Ecconomic interests of the nation and it's corporations.
The war on terror in a similar way played up the worst case scenario of AQ getting a WMD rather than overthrowing the Saudi kingdom.
In the 1950s communism was part of political reality in most of Western Europe not an external threat but remember that was because those were the communists who had survived mass slaughter and extermination camps 1933 Hitler takes power in a country split by rival militias both communist and facist, and then proceeds to run a continent wide anti communist crusade for a decade.
The threat is trivial because while on Sept 12 it was not unreasonable to see repeats of airport hijackings and attacks on a regular basis, add in the anthrax attacks of October the potential for random truck and car bombs and mass shootings. We were predicing based on IRA or palestinian terrorism and the lesson was it can be managed and reduced but not defeated.
With hindsight we were wrong AQ was much weaker with many fewer committed warriors than we feared. It is not they have a philosophy which will only attack if they can do a spectacular bigger than 9/11. That is the excuse which became a lie which became accepted wisdom.
Even with a very very small threat there will be occasional attacks that get through, in Israel that is accepted, in UK in time of IRA that is accepted. In US there is somehow an assumption of 100% security.
The idea of someone driving a truck bomb to 42nd street in rush hour would be possible based on a small number of committed activists, if they existed something like that would have happened in the past 10 years.
The terror threat is real but it is not and never was as big as was made out, and the responsible thing for politicians and the media is to explain that to the populace, one lone nut killing some people in a mall gets little coverage, if they were Muslim and hd been radicalised over the Internet by jihadi nonsense the political and media culture would have a collective nervous breakdown.
The mindless, needless sacrifice of human lives has never seemed to be the reason 9/11 so terrorizes Americans. Were that the case the slaughter of 50,000 or so people each year by guns would cause tremendous terror. But it does not. So something else about 9/11 seems to terrify them.
excuse me, I meant "very little revisions prior to 9/11."
I'd rather just skip the point-by-point meta-debate and just say that I agree with you, most regulations are not made using a rational cost-benefit analysis (ironically, the much-maligned CAFE, NSPS and NAAQS standards are). Instead, the cost benefit analysis that is being applied isn't the one that ought to be applied. The scale that is used is usually the cost in terms of votes and the benefit in terms of votes, where in (most) cases it ought to just be money to money.
So in a broad sense we agree, if not in the details. For example, I'd be willing to cut the drilling moratorium some more slack, and be willing to place a high value on the unquantifiable commons. In other areas we agree - I have a bone to pick with hysterical anti-nuclear environmentalists.
Regarding your comments on freedom over safety, you are correct, I'd rather not live in an anarchy. Dropping the simplistic phrasing, it would be far more accurate to say that I felt that the balance between civil liberties and security was adequate, with very little relations, prior to 9/11.
Perhaps I poorly phrased my argument regarding freedom and safety. What I was trying to point out was that, essentially, I think the freedoms guaranteed in the constitution that were trampled on by the likes of the Patriot Act, the FISA warantless wiretapping debacle, and Guantanamo Bay were and remain non-negotiable, even if some portion of society were willing to give them up. If we must phrase it in terms of a cost-benefit analysis, then I'd expect my political leaders to value the quintessentially American rights as infinitely valuable.
Up to the expected losses from a Category 3 hurricane hitting NY.
Have you hit upon a hurricane-blocking technology? If so, please consider me for employment, as I expect it to do fairly well.
I agree with the conclusion that the US needs to chill out but I still think Islamic terrorism is a serious threat, if not existential. How much would you spend to prevent a category 3 hurricane from hitting NYC?
@ Ah Beng,
"I could go on, but I think it's clear that there is a rational basis for many of these regulations (and an equally irrational basis for others)."
There is ALWAYS some sort of rational excuse for a government regulation. The point is not whether there is a rational reason why a regulation might be useful; the point is whether it meets some sort of economic cost-benefit threshold.
People are rejecting terrorism-related activities using some sort of cost-benefit analysis, yet will not apply the same reasoning to everything else. For example:
* the ban on smoking in public places is not to protect smokers, but to protect against second-hand smoke (since smokers can smoke in private regardless). Yet the likelihood of second-hand smoking fatalities is tiny. How can you justify a reduction in personal liberty on this basis?
* biodiversity has some sort of value, but as you pointed out it is "unquantifiable". As a consequence, how can you justify endangered species protection against human development on a cost-benefit basis?
* regarding oil drilling and nuclear power, you say that regulation is justified as long as we take into account the costs to the public. This is effectively saying "you need to do a cost-benefit analysis" which is exactly my point, yet no one did such an analysis when Obama imposed a drilling moratorium. No one on the green side is doing such an analysis when they object to nuclear power either.
* When you say that you value freedom over safty, deep down that is not true. If it were true, then you would advocate no safety measures at all that interfered with personal liberty. However, I am quite certain that you are not advocating for eliminating all security screening at airports. So SOME safty is more important than absolute freedom -- in effect, you want a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether the amount of intrusion on your personal liberty is worth the increased security you enjoy. I can appreciate that. However, just like the concept of "biodiversity", the concept of "freedom" is open to a lot of subjective valuation -- some people are going to be more risk averse than you are, and thus will be willing to submit to greater intrusions than you are, and you will be swept up in it regardless of your personal feelings on the matter.
You might argue that it is unfair that we are being subjected to regulation based on the lowest common denominator. However, that is a fact of life -- it is the same reason stadiums cut off alcohol sales in the 3rd quarter or the 7th inning (sure, the law abiding folks that can drink responsibly are unfairly limited by this, but we all have to suffer because of a handful of idiots that cannot drink responsibly).
I support what Ah Beng just said.
You can try to make freedom a cost/benefit winner by arguing along the lines of Mill in On Liberty, though I've never found his argument particularly satisfying.
It's more honest to simply say that you believe freedom/liberty to be worthwhile ends in themselves, and a worthy goal of human efforts. I agree. But then it's just an argument of personal preference, and a matter of convincing others that liberty is the way to go. It's worth a try, but convincing is easier if you are able to point to a quantifiable benefit both to society and individuals from greater liberty.
Lex, what you've hit on (mostly, some of the regulations you listed don't apply or clearly win a cost-benefit analysis) is that people tend to demand regulations based on the level of outrage and fear that they feel, which is completely uncorrelated with the actual risk. It's more correlated with how acute the event is, how unpredictable it is, and how "un-knowable" it is perceived as by the general public.
Radiation, terrorism, and chemicals fall under the un-knowable category. Radiation, terrorism, and chemicals fall under the unpredictable category. Ditto for how acute the incident. Even if the objective probability of the event is low enough such that the expected damage is miniscule, the more something falls into any of these categories the more regulation is demanded. It's stupid but it's true.
I'm probably significantly to the right of the "liberal-progressives" that you were talking about, but I'll give it a go:
* Regulations that concern smoking in public places have as much to do with decreasing public health costs from smokers as they do with secondhand smoke.
* BPA probably should not have been banned immediately, but every time people hear the world "chemicals" their blood runs cold. Hysteria took over. I chuckle every time I see the word "chemical-free" on food packaging.
* Deepwater Horizon was an occurrence with minimal likelihood but the expected cost (i.e. probability x cost of incident) is still high. Regulation is justified as long as we take into account that expected cost to the public.
* Endangered species obviously have some unquantifiable value to a portion of the public and biodiversity has a quantifiable value for maintaining natural balance.
* Nuclear power accident brought on by external disaster is ditto the above about oil spills.
I could go on, but I think it's clear that there is a rational basis for many of these regulations (and an equally irrational basis for others).
My arguments in favor of less spending and fewer curtailing of our rights are not a cost-benefit analysis, at least not entirely. My anger has more to do with (a) my belief that freedoms are more important than safety and (b) much of the money being spent on initiatives that did f*ckall to improve our security. Money spent on the FBI, CIA, and rapid-response counterterrorism forces good, money spent on adventurism in Iraq, the myriad bits of security theater, and zero-common-sense bomb detection idiocy bad.
I don't think I qualify as a liberal-progressive, but I would support rolling back any of those regulations if they failed a cost-benefit analysis.

But it seems like America is quite susceptible for that sort of paranoia, it was the exact same thing that struck during McCarthey, right?
Europe had maybe even more reasons to fear communists, but I have never heard of that sort of rabbid fear hitting us."
I guess little things like the Spanish Civil War, the rise of Nazi Germany, the Czarist oppressions leading up to the Russian Revolution, or even the Cold War itself don't really amount to rabid fear/hatred of communism?
It must be true that as we get older, all the bad things fade from our memories, while all of the good things get exaggerated. This is the only explanation I have for the phenomenon in which Europeans always believe that nothing bad ever happens in Europe.
I have consistently despised arguments that claim the risk of terrorism-related death is so low, we should not be devoting such significant resources to it, or curtailing our liberties via overregulation. However, since this particular form of economic cost-benefit analysis appears to be all the rage, we should probably start applying it to everything else in life, right? How do the liberal-progressives feel about the following:
* The risk of dying as the result of second-hand smoke is infinitessimally small, so we should repeal all of these no-smoking restrictions in public places as an unnecessary infringement on our liberties.
* The risk of dying or suffering adverse health effects from exposure to BPA is so speculative, we should repeal any BPA prohibitions as economically unjustified.
* The likelihood of another Deepwater Horizon type event is so miniscule, we should not trouble passing any sort of regulations to address the problem, since they are not economical from a cost-benefit perspective.
* The endangered species list makes no economic sense at all -- mother nature wipes out species all the time, and we don't raise an eyebrow. Yet we place draconian retrictions on human land use that are clearly not economical, all to save the habitat of some flower or frog.
* The likelihood of a record-setting earthquake and record-setting tsunami combining to wipe out a nuclear power plant is so amazingly tiny, we probably should not even bother coming up with regulations for such an event.
* I understand why San Francisco has earthquake building codes, but we shouldn't have any sort of earthquake regulations for the East Coast of the United States. I mean, how often does an earthquake (that you can actually feel) hit the East Coast?
* The cost of all those lifeboats and safety equipment on a cruise ship is expensive. How often does a Titanic-style catastrophe occur anyway?
"a nation with no enemies at the walls, you checks the closet"
Thank you, Doug, you've finally explained American fears to me. Elsewhere we concentrate on hating the neighbours. At least I don't need to worry about coworkers suddenly becoming French.
I think you're mostly right in your response to RR, but it's a lot easier to say such things with 10 years perspective. If you said that in October 2001, you would have been asked why you hate America so much. Why do you eat bald eagles and then wipe your mouth with the flag?

The arrangement of flowers in Japan is an elaborate and unique art, with highly developed conventions and complex symbolism. The art developed from the custom of offering flowers to the Buddha and was introduced into Japan early in the 7th century by Ono No Imoko, Japanese ambassador to China, who founded the first and oldest school of floral art, the Ikenobō. All the later masters of the Ikenobō school are his descendants. Most important among the earliest styles was the mitsu-gusoku, an arrangement of three or five articles often consisting of an incense burner, a candlestick in the form of a stork, and a vase of flowers. These were usually displayed before pictures of the Buddha or of founders of Buddhist sects.
Early styles were known as tatebana, standing flowers; from these developed a more massive and elaborate style, rikka (which also means standing flowers), introduced by the Ikenobō master Senkei around 1460. The early rikka style symbolized the mythical Mt. Meru of Buddhist cosmology. Rikka represented seven elements: peak, waterfall, hill, foot of the mountain, and the town, and the division of the whole into in (shade) and yō (sun). (In Chinese the characters for in and yō are read yin and yang, the passive or female and the active or male principles.) Formal rikka is arranged out of nine main branches and some accessory ones. Three branches are placed so that their tips form a triangle with unequal sides. From this pattern all later styles of Japanese floral art developed.
In the early 18th century a three-branch, asymmetrical style, shōka, evolved from the rikka and was cultivated by the Ikenobō school. Shōka is written with Japanese characters meaning living flowers. These characters can also be read seika and ikebana; seika is the preferred reading by some schools, while ikebana today is the general term applied to any style of Japanese floral art. Up to the advent of shōka all styles of arrangements other than rikka had been known as nageire, meaning to throw, or fling into. This term was confined to arrangements in tall vases, and heika, vase flowers, is preferred to nageire by some schools. Shōka utilized three main branches, and emulated the natural growth of plant life. This illusion of growth was achieved by using buds, foliage, and blossoms; by superimposing stems as they emerged from the container; by turning up the tip ends of branches unless of a naturally drooping kind; and by placing tree branches above flowers and mountain material above that of the lowland. All combinations were seasonally correct. Uneven numbers of materials were always used, and rules of proportion dictated that plant material be at least one and one half times the height of the container. By the late 18th and early 19th centuries the shōka style had supplanted the rikka in popularity and many new schools flourished, including Enshūryū, Koryū, ēōdōryu, and Mishōryū. All these new schools utilized the three-branch form but adopted different nomenclatures for them.
Western flowers were introduced into Japan following the Meiji Restoration (1868). The flower master Ohara Unshin, who established the Ohara school (early 20th century), devised for them a new container, based on the low bowls used for dwarfed plants. This new style, known as moribana (heaped-up flowers), permitted greater freedom in the choice and placement of materials. A variation was the creation of small realistic landscapes called shakei, sometimes referred to as memory sketches. In these, exposed water surface was a part of the design. In 1930 a group of art critics and flower masters proclaimed a new style of floral art called zen'ei ikebana (avant-garde flowers), free of all ties with the past. Foremost in this group was the Ikenobō master Teshigahara Sōfū (1900–79), who had founded the Sōgetsu school in 1927. The new style emphasized free expression. It utilized all forms of plant life, living and dead, and elements that had been previously avoided, such as bits of iron, brass, vinyl, stone, scrap metal, plastic, and feathers. Vines and branches were bleached and painted and even used upside down. Stems were crossed, even numbers of materials were used, and containers were often crude and exotic in shape.
Until 1868 Japanese flower arrangement was generally a man's avocation, engaged in primarily by Buddhist priests, warriors, and the nobility. Following the Meiji restoration and particularly after the beginning of the 20th century, it was taken up by large numbers of women. Men, however, still head most of the principal schools.
The total number of schools that teach floral decoration throughout Japan in the 20th century is believed to number from 2,000 to 3,000, varying in size from several thousand to millions of adherents. Each school has its own rules of arrangement, though styles may differ only slightly from one another. All arrangements are asymmetrical and achieve a three-dimensional effect. The traditional styles are still taught, many with modern variations, but the bolder, less restrained, and unconventional free-style forms of arrangement now seem to be the most popular. The material used in Japanese floral arrangements is held in position by various artifices, the most popular of which are the kubari, forked twig, and the kenzan, needlepoint holder.
Japanese flower arranging has influenced that of the West considerably, particularly in the mid-20th century. Many popularizations of the art have flourished in the United States.

Big Hero 6 Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
'Big Hero 6′ manga adaptation to end in March
The manga adaptation of Disney's Big Hero 6 will conclude with the March 20 issue of Kodansha's Magazine Special magazine, Anime News Network reports.
Announced in July, the manga by Haruki Ueno marks the first time Disney has used a full-fledged series, rather than a one-off story, to promote a movie release in Japan. Called Baymax, after the film's Japanese title, the adaptation debuted Aug. 20, following a preview.
Comics A.M. | 'Big Hero 6′ drives up prices on original comics
Comics | Check your longboxes, folks: Copies of Marvel's Sunfire & Big Hero 6 #1, from 1998, with a CGC grade of 9.8 are selling for $450 and up ahead of the premiere of the Disney animated film, and even non-graded copies are good for $25 or more. [ICv2]
Creators | Captain Marvel writer Kelly Sue DeConnick talks about the character, and her reaction to the newly announced Marvel film: "I feel so proud of her, like Carol is this person who lives in my head, and 'look what you did, girl!' It feels like a friend just got a promotion." [Speakeasy]
Publishing | Chris Butcher announced that, after three years as marketing director, he's left UDON Entertainment to focus more fully on his work for the Toronto store The Beguiling (where he's manager) and the Toronto Comic Arts Festival (where he's festival director). [Comics212]
Marvel's 'Big Hero 6′ blackout
Walt Disney Animation has premiered an adorable two-minute clip from Big Hero 6 that highlights the relationship between young Hiro and his robot Baymax, and has me looking forward to the Nov. 7 release of the film.
Even from the limited glimpses we've gotten of them, the characters are already appealing. I sure would be down for reading more stories about them. However, Marvel has no plans to release any comic books in conjunction with the premiere of Big Hero 6 — no reprints of the original stories that inspired from the movie, no new comics … nothing.
As the first Disney animated movie to take advantage of the House of Mouse's $4 billion purchase of the House of Ideas, you'd think this would be pretty exciting for Marvel, and something it would want to promote. And yet, Marvel is surprisingly quiet about Big Hero 6.
There are no plans to reprint the 1998 original Sunfire & Big Hero 6 miniseries by Scott Lobdell and Gus Vazquez, or the 2006 follow-up Big Hero 6 by Chris Claremont and David Nakayama . Asked about that last week by Comic Book Resources, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso explained, "The characters and stories that have appeared in our comics are very different from what they are in the film. Releasing material that would be viewed as movie tie-in product would be a disservice to filmgoers. We wanted the Disney folks to be able to create their own unique style and story, unencumbered by those older stories."
Funko unveils 'Big Hero 6′ Pop! Vinyl figures
Fans may not be getting any new Big Hero 6 comics from Marvel to go with Disney's upcoming animated film, but they can get their hands on some pretty adorable Pop! Vinyl figures from Funko.
Available now for preorder, 3.75-inch figures of Hiro Hamada, GoGo Tomago, Honey Lemon, Wasabi No-Ginger and Fred, plus a and a 6-inch Baymax (mech variety) will be released in October, in plenty of time for the film's Nov. 7 premiere. A "pearlescent" version of Baymax will arrive in late November or early December.
'Big Hero 6's' Baymax and Hiro are heading to Disney parks
Disney has announced it will bring Big Hero 6's Baymax and Hiro Hamada to Disneyland and Walt Disney World this fall to greet fans as part of a promotional push for the animated film.
Although Captain America, Thor and Iron Man have previously appeared at Disneyland, this will be the first time Marvel characters have greeted visitors at Disney World.
Comics A.M. | 'Attack on Titan' conquers bookstores in June
Publishing | The latest BookScan numbers reveal June was a good month for manga in bookstores, with eight volumes of Attack on Titan making the top 20 — a new record. The first volume topped the list, which means new readers are still discovering Hajime Isayama's dark fantasy. Overall, manga had a slight edge, with 11 titles, and all three volumes of Saga were on the list, but only one volume of The Walking Dead. And despite the Amazon-Hachette battle, the Yen Press title Sword Art Online: Aincrad made the chart. [ICv2]
Publishing | ICv2 and Comichron's John Jackson Miller joined forces to calculate the size of the entire comics market, including the direct market, bookstore and digital channels, and both single issues and graphic novels. Inevitably some things get left out, such as subscription services, sales to libraries and the juggernaut that is the Scholastic Book Fair, but it's a good snapshot. The bottom line: $850 million in 2013. [Comichron]
Disney merchandise rang up a record $40.9 billion in 2013
Characters from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars appeared together on stage Monday for the first time ever as the entertainment giant touted its powerhouse brands ahead of the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas.
According to Variety, Disney is once again the world's top licensor, with a record $40.9 billion in retail sales last year, up from $39.4 billion in 2012. With looming films like Guardians of the Galaxy, Big Hero 6 and The Avengers: Age of Ultron, based on Marvel comics, the live-action Cinderella and Star Wars: Episode VII, plus the Star Wars Rebels animated television series, that seems unlikely to change in the near future.
Ahead of D23 Expo kickoff, Saturday tickets sell out
The doors open in just an hour on the D23 Expo, the official Disney fan gathering held through Sunday in Anaheim, California. Tickets for Saturday are sold out.
While much of the event, of course, caters to Disney devotees — theme-park fans, serious collectors and cinephiles alike — we should expect a decent amount of news that reaches beyond the Magic Kingdom. For instance, today there's a presentation featuring many of the voice actors from Marvel's animated television series, and a signing with the producer and director of Big Hero 6, Walt Disney Animation's first adaptation of a Marvel comic. That movie, based on the characters created by Steven T. Seagle and Duncan Rouleau, is getting a promotional push at the event, which features a Big Hero 6 display (above, courtesy of ComingSoon).
