One night in San Jose
I agree with Wchane on opting for Vietnamese or Mexican.
I really like Saigon 75 one block from San Jose City Hall. It's more upscale than the mom-and-pop places farther from downtown (assuming you're staying at one of the hotels downtown).
http://www.killerrobot.com/wes/eats_vietnamese.htmlHere are some other options from my site...
http://www.killerrobot.com/wes/eats.html -
If you're coming all the way from the east coast I'm suggesting you grab mexican or vietnamese.
i'm not too sure about the best tasting mexican, usually the hole in the walls do it for me - la taquria, etc.
However on vietnamese I like Tamerine in Palo Alto, or there are a variety of cafe/bistro style joints in s.san jose. Google for Broken Rice.
If you have access to wheels, you can also consider:

Finally tried this one. Yup, delicious...Made it "Dan's way," except I split the difference on the syrup at around 1/3 oz. Used the new Dickel Rye, which worked great... First drink I've tried using a "tiny" amount of Fernet where the flavors mingled so perfectly that if I didn't know it was there, I might not have guessed it.
Nice. Good call re Regan's bitters . Used Rittenhouse Rye, which stands up well. Thanks!
A nice drink, although I fiddled with it a bit. I used only 1/4 oz simple, but then I tend to like my drinks without detectable sweetness. I upped the rye to 1 1/2 oz to get it to stand up to the Becherovka. I added 2 dashes of Regans' orange bitters, which reinforces the orange notes from the twist and adds significant bitterness (since Becherovka is so mild). I really enjoyed this drink, especially since it highlights an unusual ingredient that is pretty widely available.

IPv6 can boost mobile performance, battery life, proponents say
A panel of experts at CES laid out some consumer benefits of the next Internet Protocol
IDG News Service - IPv6, the next version of the Internet Protocol, could make life easier and battery life longer for electronics-addicted consumers.
Much of the push for IPv6 has been focused on the requirements of enterprises and the challenges they face in making the transition from the current protocol, IPv4. If device makers and service providers do their jobs right, consumers won't even know it when they start using IPv6, but they do stand to benefit, proponents of IPv6 said in a panel discussion at International CES on Thursday.
The main feature of IPv6 is a nearly endless supply of IP addresses, which devices and services on the Internet use to find each other. There are enough addresses available under the new protocol to give each person in the world 4.3 billion of them, according to Latif Ladid, president of the IPv6 Forum.
Many popular smartphones and tablets now on the market can use IPv6, including the iPhone 5, iPads 3, 4 and Mini, Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note 2, Nokia Windows 8 phones, and many models in the Sony Xperia line, according to Frederik Garneij, a systems manager at Ericsson.
With IPv6, there are enough addresses to give one to every device, so they can talk directly to each other over the Internet. Each phone, home security camera and broadband router can have a globally unique address.
"Every single device is able to be globally reached from every other device," said Dale Geesey, chief operating officer at Auspex Technologies, an IPv6 professional services company.
Today, broadband and mobile service providers using IPv4 typically use private IP addresses within their networks and assign true, unique Internet addresses to subscribers' devices only temporarily. This process, called NAT (network address translation), has a number of implications for consumer electronics, the panelists said. Using IPv6 instead could have several benefits, they said.
Here are some example.
-- Accessing sites and content over the Internet is usually faster with IPv6 than with IPv4 because with the new protocol it requires fewer "hops" between network nodes, Ladid said.
-- Twitter, instant messaging, and push notification services, which have to constantly keep a network pipe open for incoming messages, don't mesh well with NAT, Ladid said. The applications have to keep telling the carrier that the temporary IP address is still in use. Sending those "keep alive" packets back and forth consumes battery life and network capacity, Ladid said.
An IPv6 address could stay with the phone, so none of those checks would be required.
"Since these devices do not have a constant IP address ... this NAT address has always, every 30 seconds, to say, 'I'm still on' to justify its presence," Ladid said. With IPv6, the phone could have its own unique Internet address and avoid that administrative traffic.

You Could Fill An Entire Arena with All This Old Andrew Bynum Gear (And Some $2 Toasters)
Jul 26, 2013, 4:27 PM EDT
Want a $2 dollar toaster that will print the Phillies' logo on your bread? Of course, you do. [UPDATE: THE TOASTERS ARE ALREADY GONE. ONE GUY BOUGHT THREE.]
Welcome to the annual Wells Fargo Center blowout sale. This is the event when all the dated merchandise leftover from last year — or even years prior — is on sale for deep, deep discounts.
After all, what is Fan Gear supposed to do with all these Andrew Bynum, Jrue Holiday, Danny Briere and Ilya Bryzgalov jerseys? They have to give them to somebody, and they might as well make at least a little money off the remaining inventory. That's where you come in.
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow, you can buy an expletive-ton of Flyers, Sixers and Phillies merchandise from the floor of the Wells Fargo Center.
Building employees were given first crack Friday afternoon, allowing us to take the pictures below and provide you with an early pricing sheet (Phillies // Flyers and Sixers) so you can plan accordingly.
Bear in mind, not everything is a Nick Young T-shirt — in fact, there should be more of those. But there's also a lot of new stuff — Streit, Lecavalier and Emery jerseys — and some really good finds. The Mitchell & Ness jacket you see on the right, for example, originally tagged at upwards of $100, can be had for $25. And the cardigan on the left is just sweet:
On the downside, some of the dated merch isn't nearly as cheap as it was last summer. Last year, I walked away with two Sixers jerseys (Marreese Speights and Lou Williams), a Jim Thome jersey, a LouWill T-shirt and Flyers T for a grand total of $30.
This year, they still want $30 for every Sixers jersey on sale, and $60 dollars for a Flyers sweater. On the plus side, Andrew Bynum has his very own table:
I ended up walking away with one of the Phillies toasters and two 8 X 12s of Swaggy P throwing down. (You can't have just one). The rest of the pictures from the sale are below, including shots of the toaster and some leftover Shane Victorino foam fingers:
- JimM. - Jul 26, 2013 at 6:33 PM
now are these jerseys replicas or authentic?
- Mike - Jul 27, 2013 at 12:51 AM
Actually, custom.
They are specifically designed and fitted for the rigors of bowling, dancing and eating chicken wings while not showing any enthusiasm.
Any sense of anticipation or sweat will be met by your hair growing a half inch in diameter.
- Scott - Jul 26, 2013 at 9:54 PM
Dammit, I really wanted one of those toasters just because it was so cheap and I actually needed one. Damn you whoever bought three of em.
- Mick - Jul 27, 2013 at 2:59 AM
This site is where I used to come for breaking sports news. Now it is always at least a day behind, if not more. Rarely even check this site anymore. The value is gone.
- Paul - Jul 27, 2013 at 4:45 AM
I hope you're not referring to the fact they haven't reported about the MAG signing. If you are, then grow the fuck up, that news did not break until around midnight. No major bloggers have reported this because most do not physically operate at this time. Hold your fucking hard on for about 12 hours so the rest of the world can factually react to this signing.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
There comes a moment in a model's career when the hoopla surrounding the international fashion shows becomes just too much. (One can assume that this typically coincides with the achievement of a hefty day rate, making shows not worth the pennies.) Hence the disappearance of such catwalk favorites as Daria Werbowy and Karolina Kurkova, whose occasional runway appearances—we've heard a rumor that Daria will be at Chanel next week, but it's not been confirmed—are now hotly anticipated. But while photographers, editors, and fellow models jump on the collections train from New York to London to Milan to Paris, a question remains for the girls that have hopped off: What to do with this free time? While one answer is sign up for the money jobs and commercial shoots, another is to paaartay! The latter was the case for supers Jacquetta Wheeler, Caroline Winberg, and Gemma Ward, who were all spotted at The Box this weekend. Not that we can blame them; as the rest of their sample-sized sisters were boarding planes to Milan for a hectic week of shows, these girls were catching Manhattan's raunchiest cabaret performance.

Presence: Meditation Music for the Oneness BlessingPresence is a study in meditative musical minimalism. Led by composer Yantra de Vilder, the Hindustani classical music trio from Australia weaves an immersive listening experience out of a few simple but effective sonic elements. The result is an album that is ideal for accompanying meditation or gentle asana, or creating a peaceful ambience at home. The songs are firmly based in the mind-focusing, heart-centering power of the drone, generated here by tamboura and electronic keyboards. The alternating and overlapping improvisational interplay of de Vilder's piano, Armando Ornano's bansuri flute, and Asakti Evans's chanting of the Moola mantra and the Vedic hymn "Hari Om Tat Sat" creates a sense of slow and gentle unfolding. More structured musical motifs also emerge, one of which is reminiscent of kirtan songstress Deva Premal's musical interpretation of the Gayatri mantra. Presence is a disc that connects deeply with the play of repetition and randomness that characterizes the mind in meditation, the cycles of life, and good ambient music. Recent Lifestyle Articles |

- Nah, didn't offend me at all. (I just have a love/hate relationship with the wiki at times, including extensions/figuring things out) Screenshots are completely fine. (if someone wants to take them?) Embeded video code now works, for people who want to use it.

La Culla is a beautiful place to stay and the views are amazing. The sisters are wonderful hosts and it was like being around a family which is great for a solo traveller. There is a sweeping balcony which looks over the harbour. The sister have Holy Mass every morning and they paint their own icons.

One thing I hate about Linux: cron
31 March 2008
5 comments
First of all, I understand that the problem cron solves is a hard one but come on, it's been many years now without much progress. At least not in the usability field of cron jobs. Secondly, I don't know of an operating system that does this better. Perhaps there is one. All I'm saying here is that this aspect of Linux sucks. The issues I have with cron are:
Beef number 1
Is it root, user1 or user2 running a crontab job? I'll have to su
into each suspected user and run crontab -l
. Granted, some jobs require root access and others don't but it nevertheless makes it hard to find the configured jobs when maintaining someones server.
Beef number 2
Even though they do such a similar thing, it feels like /etc/cron.*
is a different battlefield from crontab
. Why can't this all be in one coherent place?
Beef number 3 The crontab syntax. How difficult would it be to allow an interface to accept user input as "every 10 minutes" or "01.30 every day"?
Beef number 4
With there being 12 different ways (sarcasm) to write cron job scripts there's no coherent place to collect all log and errors that happen from cron. Couldn't it be default to always write to /var/log/cron/access.log
and all executions that cause a write to stderr
could append to /var/log/cron/error.log
I don't think Anacron would make me any happier since the problem Anacron solves was not one of the problems I listed above. And lastly, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a semi-abandoned Open Source project on SourceForge that is user friendly but what I'm after is something to get into stock Linux. Kind of like apt/aptitude/dselect is for dpkg maybe?
I agree with you. cron sucks. There was talk on the supervisord list of making a Python cron that was built into supervisor, but no one like it.
Personally, I think it would be cool to write a Python crond :)
Why are you guys complaining about this? And most importantly, who are you complaining to? One of the most important aspect of Open Source is that anyone can step in and improve upon an existing code. So why don't you put down you weapons, and pull out your keyboards to create something better? It can even be something as simpler as a wrapper application or an application that will edit existing cron jobs or that will list all cron jobs by looping into all the users in the linux box.
I agree that cron may not be the most beautiful chick at the party, but here's a suggestion that will make it easier, just add a maintenance account in the server and give it sudo for whatever task you want to run, in any case, within a server, how many users are supposed to run cron jobs anyway? (at least the jobs regarding system maintenance, etc). Just my 2 cents, cheers and nice blog Peter
Beef #1 (at least for rhel / centos):
sudo grep -r 'beef' /var/spool/cron
This is why in a pure Python env celerybeat + supervisord does the job much better:
# Executes every Monday morning at 7:30 A.M
"every-monday-morning": {
"task": "tasks.add",
"schedule": crontab(hour=7, minute=30, day_of_week=1),
"args": (16, 16),
It's pure python, it runs python fonctions and it's explicit. But it does require additional setup.

Why Do The Democrats Want You To Buy Viagra For Sex Offenders?
Why do Democrats want tax-payers to buy Viagra and other related drugs for sex offenders?
Democrats killed an amendment by Republican Sen. Tom Coburn to prevent the newly created insurance exchanges from using federal money to cover Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs for rapists, pedophiles and other sex offenders. The amendment failed 57-42.
Ben Nelson – Sell-out
The Dems have 60 votes for Obamacare thanks to the latest of a dozen or so "moderate" Democrats who have sold out their constituents and real moderate values in the face of intimidation and back-room deals, Ben Nelson.
Nelson disclosed his decision as Majority leader Harry Reid unveiled a final series of changes to the measure, including concessions abortion, funding for Nebraska and more.
Quid Iuris?
The Nobel commission awarded Obama the Peace Prize, but
Does the Constitution allow him to accept the award?
8th Anniversary of 9/11/01
It's the first 9/11 anniversary that America has seen without the commander-in-chief who kept us safe since that horrible day.
Reimbursement for Not Using Emergency Rooms
Obama has the gall to state that I put an extra burden on the wallets of my fellow Americans by exercising my freedom to choose whether or not to purchase a health insurance plan:
Hard Times Hit Hell: Satan Collects Debt From Kennedy
Everyone already knows about the recent economic struggles that the living are facing these days. But what about the Prince of Darkness?
It seems that even Satan is having to lay off a few of his loyal servants in order to make ends meet. Just yesterday Satan had to discharge Ted Kennedy from his duties which included disgracing his Catholic heritage by being one of the most pro-abortion members of the Senate. Kennedy's soul was also repossessed by Beelzebub in accordance with the contract between him and Senator Kennedy 40 years ago at Chappaquiddick, the terms of which stated that Kennedy shall get away with murder and keep his Senate seat for no less than 40 years and no more than 50 as long as he becomes a champion of abortion while he lives and in death he shall be condemned to the Halls of Hades for no less than an eternity and no longer than an eternity.
This is a high-value soul for Satan, and with the inevitable demise of the corrupt Kennedy clan and their influence on American politics, U.S. citizens will be able to move forward and get the U.S. economy and health care system back on track without an agent of the Devil moiling about in the government, thinking he's more "progressive" than everyone else because he was born into a family with a superiority complex.
21st Century Bolshevism
About 100 years ago V.I. Lenin formulated what was to become the Russian Bolshevik party, a Marxist regime that combined massive propaganda campaigns of bogus economic, social and philosophical ideology (Marxism) with violence and terror. Starting in the 1920s, with Joseph Stalin as leader of the Bolsheviks and Communist Russia, citizens were intimidated and, in order to avoid the secret police, reported any "suspicious" behavior of their friends, neighbors and family members. The result would often be the disappearance of the suspect.
Obama must have studied his Stalinist play-book when coming up with this:
The White House raised privacy concerns this week among those who oppose efforts to pass healthcare reform legislation. In a blog post earlier this week the White House asked supporters to report "fishy" information they receive regarding the debate on healthcare reform by forwarding emails to email@example.com.
The White House says it is enlisting the help of supporters to stay aware of the propaganda and disinformation that is being spread by opponents so they can address concerns and clarify the truth regarding the proposed legislation.
What could top Obama's homage to Stalin? Why, nothing less than Medvedev following in his master's footsteps by rewriting history and criminalizing criticism of one of the biggest mass murderers ever:
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has announced his plans to criminalize historical "revisionism."
Specifically, Medvedev wants to make "questioning the Soviet victory in World War II" a criminal offense; he also appointed a commission to work toward "counteracting attempts to falsify history that are to the detriment of the interests of Russia."
In Newsweek, Stalin's Children author Owen Matthews explains:
Russia's schoolchildren are being indoctrinated with the greatness of Stalin and stories of how the Red Army was welcomed as liberators by the peoples of Eastern Europe.
Both Putin and Medvedev seek to create a new, great Russia, and to that end, they believe it needs a great history, unsullied with mass murder and secret alliances with Hitler.
This 21st century Bolshevism is starting to scare me.
Zotero/GMU Update: Judge Dismisses Case
Earlier this month:
A Virginia Circuit Court judge dismissed a lawsuit… against George Mason University's Center for History and New Media.
The lawsuit was, of course, over the Endnote/Zotero dispute between Thompson Reuters and GMU. Here's another related link.
Controlled Substances
Thinking about selling your worn-out copy of Guitar Hero: World Tour on eBay?
Think again.
In America, and most other so-called "Capitalist" societies, private individuals are free to buy and sell products and services in an open market with a short list of general and democratically determined exceptions, some examples include:
- Certain drugs are illegal for individuals under a certain age, others are illegal for everyone
- Certain chemicals are regulated because they may be harmful to the environment
- Architectural structures must meet certain specifications in order to be deemed safe for occupancy
- And of course, transactions involving fraud are illegal.
So why on Earth do people think the U.S. court system should step in and tell companies what they can and can not do?
This is exactly what folks think about Chrysler:
Three Indiana state pension and construction funds want the Supreme Court to block Chrysler's sale to Fiat so they can pursue an appeal in hopes of getting a better deal.
Also filing emergency papers at the high court Sunday were lawyers representing consumer groups and individuals with product-related lawsuits.
An appeals court in New York approved the sale Friday, but gave objectors until Monday afternoon to try to get the Supreme Court to intervene. Chrysler LLC wants to sell the bulk of its assets to a group led by Italy's Fiat Group SpA as part of its plan to emerge from bankruptcy protection.
The Indiana State Police Pension Fund, the Indiana Teacher's Retirement Fund and the state's Major Moves Construction Fund claim the deal unfairly favors the interests of Chrysler's unsecured stakeholders ahead of those of secured debtholders such as the funds.
The funds also challenged the constitutionality of the Treasury Department's use of money from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to supply Chrysler's bankruptcy protection financing. They say the government did so without congressional authority.
Chrysler had hoped to close the sale by the end of this past week.
Auburn Hills, Mich.-based Chrysler has maintained that the sale must be completed quickly to save the automaker from complete collapse. If the deal doesn't close by June 15, Fiat has the option of pulling out. Production at Chrysler's manufacturing plants remains halted pending the closing of the sale.
So, let me get this straight. Obama and the Dems keep a dying company, Chrysler, alive with tax dollars or borrowed money that will have to be paid back with tax dollars. Obama and the Dems stipulate that the life-support will stay on as long as Chrysler finds a foreign (who knows why?) company to be BFFs with. Chrysler finds FIAT and a deal is in the works, but, Obama and the Dems say that if the deal isn't done by the ides of June, then they pull the plug and all the tortuous hours that execs at Chrysler put in trying to please Obama and the Dems will have all been in vain. However, since the precedent of Big Government intervention has already been set regarding the operation of Chrysler, people are crawling out of the woodwork trying to get U.S. courts to decide how the company should be run. Basically, Obama has been keeping a company in its death throws alive with tax-payer money when anyone with half of a brain could have predicted the consequences and the inevitable failure of Big Government-run company (Cf. Fannie and Freddie).
Is Obama a Sadist?
But more importantly, since this whole ordeal is basically arbitrarily directed against the way one company (Chrysler) does business, who's to say that similar meddling won't soon be in store for other private individuals or companies providing, selling, using, and buying services and products in America? What will prevent these mobs from using the U.S. courts to stop the sale of Guitar Hero to the highest bidder because they hope to negotiate a better deal with the seller?
An Offer He Could Not Refuse
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford did not want to take the money. After all, it is not at all clear that the "stimulus" is actually working as Big Government has planned. However, Sanford has been issued "a writ of mandamus, which orders the governor to apply for the money" by the South Carolina Supreme Court.
How dare Gov. Sanford defy The One?
Alec Baldwin made "an apology" to those who took offense at his making light of sex trafficking. Since the issue of sex trafficking, apparently, does not merit its own post on HuffPo, Baldwin tacks on a bit about "U.S. autoworkers." It seems that Alec does not want them to lose their jobs. However, he does make the following statement:
But giving more money to Detroit means giving more money to GM, Chrysler and Ford, and that is a horrible idea.
Ford has consistently told Obama that they do not need bailout money. I'm sure Obama is disappointed. After all, his justification for the bailouts has been "we can not let the American auto-industry die." Since Ford is an American auto company that doesn't need a bailout, I wonder what Obama's really up too. He's already (ab)used his position to force the resignation of GM's CEO, Rick Wagoner. I guess he thinks he can run the company better.
WTF, Obama!!!
Before election-day if this photo had appeared on blogs or on FOXNews Democrats would have been calling it "a smear," or "guilt by association."

Tragedy on the High Seas
This is sad:
The entertainment industry won round one Friday in a legal battle against file-sharing hub The Pirate Bay, with guilty verdicts and one-year prison sentences handed down to four men accused of running and financing the popular site.
The defendants vowed to appeal, setting the stage for a lengthy copyright dispute between music and movie corporations and an online swap shop they say has deprived them of billions of dollars in lost revenue.
In its landmark ruling, the Stockholm district court convicted Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij and Carl Lundstrom of helping millions of users illegally download music, movies and computer games.
All four received one-year terms and were ordered to pay damages of 30 million kronor ($3.6 million) to entertainment companies, including Warner Bros, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI and Columbia Pictures.
But the fellas aren't losing their resolve:
"We can't pay and we won't pay," Sunde said in a defiant video clip posted on the Internet. Mockingly, he held up a hand-scribbled "I owe U" note to the camera. "This is as close as you will get to having money from us," Sunde said.
Here's a video statement that was posted on TPB earlier today:
Godspeed, TPB, Godspeed.
No Kiddin'
Well, duh…
Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) looks like he may be facing a fresh political firestorm.
Dodd just admitted on CNN that he inserted a loophole in the stimulus legislation that allowed million-dollar bonuses to insurance giant AIG to go forward – after previously denying any involvement in writing the controversial provision. .
"We wrote the language in the bill, the deal with bonuses, golden parachutes, excessive executive compensation that was adopted unanimously by the United States Senate in the stimulus bill," Dodd told CNN's Wolf Blitzer this afternoon.
"But for that language, there would have been no language to deal with this at all."
Gee. Maybe shenanigans like this are the reason so many people are against government intervention in the first place.
WTF, Greece?!
When revenge roused radicals, spiteful socialists seeking Schadenfreude, malice motivated Marxists, and acrimonious anarchists cause chaos and act eccentrically, eventually one of those "talking truth to power," persistently irritating "imperialists," will wish he hadn't abandoned Athens' safe, suburban Palio Psychiko.
And The Winner Is…
Usually hanging effigies are reserved for politicians who are already in office.
ANSWP Leader Bill White Arrested in Virginia
The American National Socialist Workers' Party's "Commander," Bill White, has been arrested in south-western Virginia on charges stemming from an incident in 2004:
William "Bill" White, the leader of the neo-Nazi American National Socialist Workers Party (ANSWP), was arrested last Friday in Roanoke, VA on a Chicago warrant that accuses him of threatening the jury foreman of the 2004 Matthew Hale trial. Matt Hale, the former leader of the white supremacist group World Church of the Creator, is currently serving a 40-year prison term for soliciting the murder of a federal court judge.
White is scheduled to appear in federal court in Roanoke today (October 23). A court date in Chicago has not yet been determined.

I don't know if closing down the ANSWP website was justified. It's my view that, as long as no violence or criminal acts are advocated, freedom of speech should be defended even if we find that speech disgusting and ignorant (e.g. 9/11 Troofers). However, I don't know the extent of the doubtlessly racist and hateful writing on the ANSWP site, so closing it may have been the best thing to do.
Do Felons Need Babysitters?
I recently read a disturbing post (here) that suggests that people should be encouraging criminals and gang members to take a more active role in politics. The author asks:
Call them what you want – ex-felons, gangbangers, dope dealers, drop-outs, welfare recipients, homeless – but I call them unlikely voters. …
But are we registering folks to vote in front of the liquor store, at the swapmeet, and in front of the fried chicken shack? Don't laugh because you know that's real. …
When was the last time you asked your local gangbanger to put down the bullets and to pick up a ballot on November 4?
In Virginia "ex"-felons are, thankfully, not allowed to vote. But elsewhere that is not the case. Unfortunately left-wing activist groups like the ACLU are trying to get more delinquents, criminals and anti-social individuals to vote. I see nothing wrong with letting small-time criminals (not felons) vote, if they have served their time and paid their debt to society. However, some states let convicts vote from prison!
according to a report released Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Brennan Center for Justice…:
De facto disenfranchisement has devastating long-term effects in communities across the country. Once a single local election official misinforms a citizen that he is not eligible to vote because of a past conviction, it is unlikely that citizen will ever follow up or make a second inquiry. Without further public education or outreach, the citizen will mistakenly believe that he is ineligible to vote for years, decades, or maybe the rest of his life. And that same citizen may pass along that same inaccurate information to his peers, family members and neighbors, creating a lasting ripple of de facto disenfranchisement across his community.
Another ACLU report released Wednesday found that voter registration forms across the country inadequately explain the voting eligibility of ex-convicts.
prisoners may vote in Maine and Vermont, while Kentucky and Virginia permanently revoke felons' voting rights. Elsewhere, the ACLU-Brennan Center report noted, "varied state laws form[] a patchwork across the country." The ACLU's Voting Rights Project is active in securing voting rights for ex-felons. In July, the ACLU filed a lawsuit challenging a provision of the Alabama Constitution that prevents felons convicted of "crimes of moral turpitude" from voting. In February, the ACLU filed suit in federal court challenging a Tennessee law that requires convicted felons to pay "all outstanding legal financial obligations" before their voting rights are restored.
Let's think about the implications that a push to give convicted felons and incarcerated criminals full voting rights might have for our country. First of all, why do we have laws in the first place? To ensure that America is a safe, free and just place to live. Criminals, especially felons, have broken those laws, i.e. they have committed acts that jeopardize the safety, freedom and/or justice for other Americans. The role of government is to serve the people by creating, enforcing and reviewing the laws that keep America safe, free and just. It is plainly contrary to common sense to bestow voting rights to individuals who have acted in opposition to a safe, free and just society.
Furthermore, the ACLU finds that citizens with convictions are told that they are not eligible to vote and that they are unlikely to make further inquiries at a later date when they might be eligible. Okay. Fine. The responsibility lies with the individual, not election officials. Perhaps the ACLU would have government babysitters assigned to ex-cons reminding them to eat their greens and tie their shoes?
Obama Represents Change and Dope
No, that's not a typo. Apparently some drug dealers thought that it would be cool to package their heroin in baggies with "Obama" stamped on the front. This way the dope-fiends can remember who to vote for… I guess.
The packets of drugs apparently circulating the streets of Edwardsville, Kingston and Wilkes-Barre had stamps that read, "Obama '09."
"I've never seen a stamp like that before," said Frank Noonan, an official with the state Bureau of Narcotics, Investigation and Drug Control department.
…Police said the group sold about $10,000 worth of "Obama" heroin a week from the home on Ross Street.
(Source – H/T – Bobitutu at LGF)
Hmm… I wonder if this is where all those $200 and under donations came from. Kidding.
I Didn't Do It
This is odd. I wouldn't think a crook would bother to steal books. The library has bi-annual sales of paperbacks for 25¢ and hardcovers starting at a dollar.
Thief Steals 150 Books From Fairfax Co. Library
The books range in value from about $6 to $40 each. The titles cover a variety of subjects such as finance, fashion and parenting.
Well, at least he or she or they didn't get anything good. I am happy to say that books on "fashion" won't be missed by this Fairfax Co. Public Library patron.

The 3-year-old is listed in stable condition and is said to be doing well.
Cowans is facing felony child abuse and domestic violence charges.
Authorities say the boy's mother is not facing any charges at this time, but the investigation is ongoing.

Lets see, one of my sites which has remained on the 1st page for 5+ years just got knocked back to page 3 for its main keyword. Only to be replaced by tube sites. In the UK it looks a bit better.

The hotel is located probably around the corner separately, that but i can't really judge, because we never were there.
The hotel has a small bar and a small kitchenette for self catering. A common room are also available.
The hotel is beautiful clean and we had a nothing to complain about.

I met Frankie Fenton and Des Kelleher at the ThEC2010 conference in London and saw them again recently at TEAC3 in Washington, DC. They're working on a documentary about thorium reactors called,
Take a look!
I had the privilege of meeting Bryony Worthington, founder of Sandbag.org, in July 2009 when she was a member of the panel that would deliver the Manchester Report, which was a part of the Manchester International Festival sponsored by the Guardian newspaper. Sandbag works to purchase and "retire" carbon credits, thus reducing the amount of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere under European carbon trading regulations.
She was a delight to meet in person, and we have kept in touch since then about her fight against climate change and my efforts to promote thorium as a clean energy source.
Recently, Bryony became a "life peer" and a member of the House of Lords, and became Baroness Worthington. Her ascension to the House of Lords has met with a great deal of interest from the media since she doesn't ascend alone but takes her beautiful little boy Rohan Chennu with her. She tells me that he has been a real hit amongst the Lords who never miss an opportunity to smile or wave to him in an attempt to catch his attention.

She also writes regularly for the Guardian…
Please follow her efforts on Twitter!
In late March 2010, I started a Facebook "fan page" for this blog, which in fairly short order became probably the most active part of the discussion about energy from thorium. There were a lot of things going for it–many of us were already using Facebook, and it was fairly quick and easy to post links and articles and make comments.
Things have been accelerating on the Facebook page–starting with its beginning on March 5, 2010, it reached:
500 fans on March 27, 2010
1000 fans on September 5, 2010
1500 fans on February 10, 2011
2000 fans on March 18, 2011
2500 fans on April 16, 2011
I really appreciate everyone who participates in the discussion there and keeps the ideas moving forward–thank you!
Before an overflow crowd at the Top of the Hill conference center, steps from the nation's capitol, the Thorium Energy Alliance held its third national conference on May 12. Featuring some familiar figures from the thorium-power community plus some new figures – including at least three international documentary film crews – the conference, known as TEAC3, reflected both the accelerating momentum behind the effort to produce commercial energy from thorium-based reactors and the still-formidable challenges ahead.
While some of the presentations, such as Robert Hargraves' "Aim High," a forceful argument that thorium-based nuclear power can ward off global climate change and supply an effectively endless supply of cheap energy – had been seen at previous conferences, TEAC3 included several pieces of news. The most significant was the announcement by Kirk Sorensen, founder of this blog, that he has left his job as chief nuclear technologist at Teledyne Brown to found a company, Flibe Energy, dedicated to building commercial liquid-fluoride thorium reactors (LFTRs).
Referring to the tsunami and earthquake that heavily damaged the reactors at the Fukushima, Japan nuclear power station and that have caused many to once again question the safety of nuclear power, Sorensen declared, "A lot of people are thinking that we've seen the end of nuclear power. I've bet my own future and my family's future that we are at the beginning of a new thorium age."
Kirk has not disclosed details of funding for Flibe Energy (which is named for the mixture of lithium fluoride (LiF) and beryllium fluoride (BeF2) that is proposed, in molten-salt form as a coolant for LFTRs), but a Teledyne Brown executive attending the conference said that they are "fully supportive of Flibe Energy" in introductory remarks. Kirk also pointed out that, in addition to (and likely preceding) the product of commercial power, LFTRs offer several other revenue streams: in particular supply radioisotopes for medical applications. The only reactor producing medical radioisotopes in North America is due to shut down in the next three years.
While previous conferences have focused on the theory of thorium power, and on educating a skeptical or ignorant public on the possibilities of a nuclear power industry based around cheap, safe and abundant thorium, this one was focused more on practice: on solving the actual challenges ahead for building thorium power plants.
In that spirit Joe Bonometti, a nuclear engineer, veteran NASA program leader and academic with deep experience running innovative R&D projects in both the public and private sectors, gave a presentation entitled "LFTR Development: Lessons Learned." The intent was not to lay out a single optimum technology or roadmap, Bonometti said, but to present some guidelines that apply to any effort to develop and build new technologies.
"LFTR is like an architecture class, not a specific design," Bonometti said.
Following the theory-into-practice theme, Charles S. "Rusty" Holden, founder of Thorenco LLC, did offer a specific design: a 40MW pilot plant that he called "a little LFTR." Using fissile uranium-235 as a source of ignition neutrons and a mix of thorium tetrafluoride in a beryllium fluoride molten salt, Thorenco's design includes a deep salt pool with a honeycomb geometry that offers "a superior way to clean and condition the fuel during operations," Holden said.
Also presenting was Col. Paul Roege, U.S. Army, who delivered the event's other piece of important news. The Pentagon, Roege said, could be able and willing to offer licensing capability for companies building LFTRs or other forms of innovative nuclear power reactors. Most thorium advocates agree that the NRC is unlikely in the near term to license alternative reactor designs – even ones, like LFTRs, that have been thoroughly proven out in operation. Given the military's need for clean, modular, transportable energy sources for forward operating bases, the swiftest routes to a license could be through the Army, which has the regulatory authority to approve new reactors for military bases without NRC involvement.
In the traditional licensing process, Roege said, "Innovative reactors are at the end of the line. That obstacle could potentially could be overcome if we pursue military applications."
That, of course, remains a speculative prospect in itself. As TEAC3 demonstrated, however, thorium power has gained a degree of momentum that could not have been foreseen less than two years ago, when TEAC1 attracted an audience of less than three dozen people.
"When I look back at the first thorium conference, 17 months ago, it's unbelievable to see how far we've come," commented TEAC founder John Kutsch. "This is happening because it makes good business sense, because it's important to national security and because it's the right thing to do for our children."
I would tend to agree with Mr. Gates:
"In a conversation with Wired Editor in Chief Chris Anderson today at the magazine's third annual Business Conference, Gates said that one of the best aspects of nuclear power at the moment is its lack of innovation thus far, which leaves it ripe for disruption in the coming years."
LFTR can be that disruptive technology that he seeks, and it will be much simpler to engineer and operate than the travelling wave reactor, because its thermal-neutron spectrum requires 10-15 times less fissile fuel per unit of electrical output than the fast-neutron spectrum of the travelling-wave reactor or the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR).

Sexual selection in prehistoric animals: detection and implications
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 28, Issue 1, 1 January 2013, Pages 38-47
Robert J. Knell, Darren Naish, Joseph L. Tomkins and David W.E. Hone
AbstractMany fossil animals bear traits such as crests or horns that probably functioned as sexually selected signals or weapons. Interpretations of these structures as functioning in mate choice or intrasexual contests are often controversial, with interpretations based on biomechanics or physiology being favoured by many. Although testing hypotheses based on sexual selection can be difficult, especially given that there is no single, reliable means of recognising sexual selection, we argue that it is not impossible; indeed, there are now several cases where sexual selection is strongly supported. In other cases, a careful study of features such as sexual dimorphism, ontogeny, and allometry, coupled with testing of alternative hypotheses, will be necessary to distinguish between possible explanations for exaggerated features.

Growing apart: an ontogenetic perspective on the evolution of sexual size dimorphism
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, 1 August 2002, Pages 369-378
Alexander V. Badyaev
AbstractSexes play different roles in reproduction and the adaptive significance of the often remarkably distinct morphologies of adult males and females is documented frequently. Yet, in most vertebrates, the sexes are nearly identical in morphology during early development and undergo highly divergent growth to achieve different adult sizes. The mechanisms that enable the virtually genetically identical sexes to have such divergent growth are not well understood. Of special interest are the constraints that a shared gene pool imposes on sex-specific modifications of growth and the ways that males and females overcome these constraints in response to divergent selection pressures. Recent studies show that the rapid evolution of sex-specific developmental regulators and modifiers can produce sexual dimorphism in size whilst maintaining the integrity of the developmental program that is shared between the sexes.

Dmrt genes in the development and evolution of sexual dimorphism
Trends in Genetics, Volume 28, Issue 4, 1 April 2012, Pages 175-184
Artyom Kopp
AbstractMost animals are sexually dimorphic, but different taxa have different sex-specific traits. Despite major differences in the genetic control of sexual development among animal lineages, the doublesex/mab-3 related (Dmrt) family of transcription factors has been shown to be involved in sex-specific differentiation in all animals that have been studied. In recent years the functions of Dmrt genes have been characterized in many animal groups, opening the way to a broad comparative perspective. This review focuses on the similarities and differences in the functions of Dmrt genes across the animal kingdom. I highlight a number of common themes in the sexual development of different taxa, discuss how Dmrt genes have acquired new roles during animal evolution, and show how they have contributed to the origin of novel sex-specific traits.

We're Heidi and Jason. We love movies, so we started Movie Date Notebook to chronicle our plan to go on 60 movie dates in 2010. We ended up watching 69 movies last year- and we're going for even more in 2011!
It all started back in early 2010 as we were looking back at the complete lack of movies we watched in 2009- only about 30; way less than two movie lovers should accept- even with our kiddos, jobs, and house!
In addition to writing about what we watch on movie dates, we're also talking about upcoming movies, top 5 lists, classics, and other things like that.
Thanks for stopping by- please contact us with any comments or feedback.
More about us and movies:
Movies have been a huge part of our lives. Our first date was Serendipity (2001). That went pretty well, except Heidi was sick and coughed through the whole movie. We were on the outs for a while, but a new DVD of Bridget Jones' Diary (2001) brought us back together at Christmas (incidentally, I walked 4 miles in slushy snow across a highway in dress shoes to pick up a paycheck so I could buy that movie).
We got together for good on a date to see 'Amelie' (2001)– apparently 2001 was a good year for movies, and for us. Since then we've seen hundreds of movies together in theaters, at home, on old VHS tapes and brand-new Blu-ray discs. After our first child was born, 'Love Actually' (2003) was our first date out of the house as new parents.
Early this year, as I was putting together our year-end list and reflecting on the complete lack of great movies we had watched in 2009, I decided to do something about it. As we were sitting down to watch our first movie of the year ('Angels & Demons', 2009), we decided to go on 60 movie dates in 2010.
Movie Date Notebook is here to keep track of those dates, and all kinds of other info about the movies we watch and want to watch.
