stocky, slightly flattened lizard (Sauromalus obesus) belonging to the family Iguanidae; found on arid, rocky hills of southwestern North America; grows up to 20 in. (50 cm) long; dull-colored, but sometimes has red blotches or a dark-banded tail; feeds on creosote leaves; takes shelter in rock crevices, where, if disturbed, it may inflate its lungs, increasing its body size by over one half and making it difficult to dislodge.

Abstract—Concurrent checkers are commonly used in computer systems to detect computational errors on-line, which enhances reliability. Using the coding theory framework developed earlier by the authors, it is shown in the following that concurrent checkers, already available within the circuit, can be utilized very effectively during off-line testing. Specifically, test time as well as fault escape probability can both be reduced simultaneously. The proposed combined scheme can be implemented with simple modification of existing hardware. Also shown is a novel use of BIST hardware for concurrent checking.
Specifically proposed is a novel, dual use of concurrent checkers and built-in self-test hardware, yielding mutual advantage.

Mobility behavior of the elderly: an attitude-based segmentation approach for a heterogeneous target group
The western population is ageing. Based on the assumption that the elderly are a quite heterogeneous population group with an increasing impact on the transport system, mobility types of the elderly were identified. By means of 1,500 standardized telephone interviews, mobility behavior and possible determinantes including infrastructural, sociodemographic and attitudinal variables, were assessed. The most important factors, identified by five regression analyses, served as type-constituent variables in a series of cluster analyses. The final cluster solution resulted in four segments of the elderly named Captive Car Users, Affluent Mobiles, Self-Determined Mobiles, and Captive Public Transport Users. The groups showed distinct mobility patterns as well as significant differences in infrastructural, sociodemographic and attitudinal variables. The study provides a more comprehensive understanding of the diverse lifestyles, attitudes, travel behavior and needs of the elderly. Furthermore, it identifies starting points for the reduction of car use. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. 2012Download Info

iPhone coming June 29, three ads launched (updated)
By Jeremy Horwitz
Editor-in-Chief, iLoungeGoogle+
Published: Sunday, June 3, 2007
News Categories: iPhone
Announced in January for a June release, Apple's iPhone finally has a street date: June 29, 2007. In a series of three commercials now found on Apple.com, and beginning to air on television, Apple announces the date while touting the phone's versatility as an iPod, cell phone, and mobile Internet device. The commercials, "Never Been an iPod," "How To," and "Calamari," show the phone switching effortlessly from feature to feature, rendering easy and straightforward transitions from media playback to e-mailing, web browsing, and Google Maps.
Each commercial ends with the disclaimer that "(u)se requires minimum new 2 year activation plan" with AT&T. No major new features are shown, but the screens now highlight the AT&T logo and include a Bluetooth icon alongside the battery life indicator at the screen's upper right corner. Several of the icons have also changed slightly in position from their original places; consequently, it's unclear whether you can manually rearrange the icons on the system's home menu, or whether they've been permanently moved. A demonstration of email functionality now contains a bottom-of-screen "Updated" listing noting when email was last synchronized, plus two-line summaries of message content rather than the one-line summaries shown in prior demonstrations.
Additional small details are also evident. The unit's top now clearly shows a concave headphone port, rather than the purely flat surface found on the tops of iPods; how this may impact headphone plug compatibility is unclear. Apple now also refers to its Safari web application as "Safari" on the main menu rather than as "Web," keeping the iPhone application's branding consistent with the OS X application.

i also noticed that for whatever reason all 3 ads show an unchanging time of 9:42am. very odd. is that the default time?
Posted by otsego on June 3, 2007 at 7:22 PM (PST)
It's a fixed time, same with the date which shows June 3rd. It would be impossible to shoot the commercial and air it the same day.
Can't wait till June 29th, juts to be able to play with the phone (if lucky).

Hi Guys, i've a question for you, lucky american people!!
The iPhone will have a flight mode in order to make possible offline usage for also european ones?
Well, using a phone without sim card is not so useful, but we (in europe) can't live without it!!
Posted by Matteo Moruzzi (from www.ipodmania.it) on June 4, 2007 at 4:35 AM (PST)
It's a beautiful piece of kit but I'm still not convinced. It's not best in class at any of its three functions; it's too big and clunky for a phone and if you want to email on the move you want something with a proper keyboard like a Blackberry. The fact that you can combine three functions in one handset doesn't necessarily mean that a lot of people will want to, particularly at that price.
Posted by Andrew C (UK) on June 4, 2007 at 8:19 AM (PST)
"...too big and clunky for a phone" ??????
It's obvious that you never had Treo!
Besides, three fonction devices will cost you a lot more than this combined one.
I'll trade my Treo for an iPhone anytime, at least when it will be available here.!!

I heard today on the news that the iPhone will be released in Mexico in 2008.
Sad, sad Xmas.

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy the iPhone without the AT & T service agreement? I'm stuck in a new contract with Verizon, but would love the iPhone for its other features. What features (if any) would still be available without the 2 year contract?

After watching the ad where the person was typing in the address in google maps, I sold on the texting. Sure looks faster typing than my current Moto phone.

I still don't get this idea that you can somehow store feature-length movies on a tiny flash drive, along with all your photos, music, phone numbers, etc. If the iPhone is really going to come in 4GB and 8GB configurations only, I don't see many people being able to put more than maybe 1 movie on there, and it will have to be crappy quality at that.

Hey otsego
Thats might be when they go on sale. (Apple has managed to twist ATT arm, so it might be it)

hey joshdude I have dvd to ipod program and I have six Movies on my I pod (AEONFLUX, Pirates of the Caribion, SHES THE_MAN, Side Ways, The Illusionist, TRANSPORTER 2). All using only 4.14gb. And the videos look amazing in my I pod. What I think it takes all the dolby digital sound and the special features and other stuff and just leaves the movie and stereo sound, to shrink it down which is all you really need for an I-pod.

Great artical ,IF May is able to srart this year for us and Morrison can go all so .That adds ten wins to the table. The addition of L Brown adds five more . All toghter that puts us at a guess around 45 wins this year if all goes well and our first playoff seed . Glad May has been working out with the rest of the team and is down to 265 . He can play at that size though i would prefer him in the 250 range . 265 might be the least hes weighed as a Bobcat. L Brown seems to all ready be practicing , Hell the whole team might be working out all ready . Great news to hear .
All that being said i would still love a insurance policy in Landry? But you can bet the house L Brown is watching May close til season starts.
I can live with a May ,Davidson , Alexas trio . If May shows he can really go.

I will have to admit, this isn't usually our first stop for food, but when the wait is to long any where else we go here! I've had their Garden Burger and their fish and chips and enjoy both. Service is good, food comes fast. ENDLESS FRIES!!!
Every time I visit the staff is amazing. I let them know I have a Gluten sensitivity and they go into GF mode. For the record the seasoning on the bottomless fries tested GF so we can enjoy them as well! The GF buns are amazing!! It nice to go somewhere and not worry. The kids enjoy it and so... More
Love this place went there for buddys birthday get together. Burgers are great just wish they had a low calorie menu, or a healthy menu. The prices are a little steep for a burger, but they are good. Red Robin....Yummmm
Red Robin always has good burgers and sandwiches. My two favorite dipping sauces for the steak fries are baha ranch and campfire (BBQ and mayo). Our fries are always served super hot and fresh. No cold fries in this place and they taste better than what Bagger Dave's offers.
Not the best burger. But rather average only plus bottomless fries. Service they come take your drinks, bring them. Take your order bring them come drop off check. And never ask if you need anything
This is our favorite local burger place. You get a very big burger and then you get unlimited fries with it. Although after eating the burger, it's nearly impossible to eat more than one serving of fries. Happy hour is the best time to go in because their appetizers are cheap. They also have a reward card and you get... More

"great texting and internet but LED backlight broke"
1.0 starson by smak93Pros: keyboard is good, internet browsing easy.
Cons: Had the phone for 2 weeks, carried it about 80% of the time in purse, 20% in front pocket. The LED backlight burst leaving the phone useless. Samsung would do nothing except offer the same phone for $300. Looking to switch to LG after this.
Summary: Great phone while it lasted, which was only 2 weeks. The phone was never dropped; it was handled as well as past phones but because the LED backlight burst and Samsung offered no replacement or discount, will not purchase a Samsung again.

By Robert Parry (A Special Report)
As the Official Story of the 1980 October Surprise case crumbles — with new revelations that key evidence was hidden from investigators of a congressional task force and that internal doubts were suppressed — history must finally confront the troubling impression that remains: that disgruntled elements of the CIA and Israel's Likud hardliners teamed up to remove a U.S. president from office.
Indeed, it is this disturbing conclusion — perhaps even more than the idea of a Republican dirty trick — that may explain the longstanding and determined cover-up of this political scandal.
Too many powerful interests do not want the American people to accept even the possibility that U.S. intelligence operatives and a longtime ally could intervene to oust a president who had impinged on what those two groups considered their vital interests.
To accept that scenario would mean that two of the great fears of American democracy had come true — George Washington's warning against the dangers of "entangling alliances" and Harry Truman's concern that the clandestine operations of the CIA had the makings of an "American Gestapo."
It is far easier to assure the American people that no such thing could occur, that Israel's Likud — whatever its differences with Washington over Middle East peace policies — would never seek to subvert a U.S. president, and that CIA dissidents — no matter how frustrated by political constraints — would never sabotage their own government.
But the evidence points in that… Continue reading

The Daily Beast – Blogs & Stories
Anxious that Wikileaks may be on the verge of publishing a batch of secret State Department cables, investigators are desperately searching for founder Julian Assange. Philip Shenon reports. Plus, Daniel Ellsberg tells The Daily Beast: "Assange is in Some Danger."
(This story has been updated to reflect new developments on Assange's whereabouts, including the cancelation of a scheduled appearance in Las Vegas.)
Pentagon investigators are trying to determine the whereabouts of the Australian-born founder of the secretive website Wikileaks for fear that he may be about to publish a huge cache of classified State Department cables that, if made public, could do serious damage to national security, government officials tell The Daily Beast.
The officials acknowledge that even if they found the website founder, Julian Assange, it is not clear what they could do to block publication of the cables on Wikileaks, which is nominally based on a server in Sweden and bills itself as a champion of whistleblowers.
"We'd like to know where he is; we'd like his cooperation in this," one U.S. official said of Assange.
American officials said Pentagon investigators are convinced that Assange is in possession of at least some classified State Department cables leaked by a 22-year-old Army intelligence specialist, Bradley Manning of Potomac, Maryland, who is now in custody in Kuwait.
And given the contents of the cables, the feds have good reason to be concerned.

Interview by John Bursill
Listen Here: http://visibility911.com/blog/?p=1749
Visibility 9-11 welcomes for the first time a tireless campaigner for peace,
justice and liberty for the American People, hero and patriot Bob Bowman. In
my opinion and from what Bob has achieved on a shoestring budget over the last
six years, it is fair to say he would have in all likelihood become the current
President of the USA in a different and truthful world. That is a world where
we had a free and honest press in the US and had the truth of the 9/11 attacks
exposed to all. Bob is the man that best represents the phrase speaking truth
to power and was the man that brought that term to the 9/11 Truth Movement through
speeches throughout America and the world!
In this interview Bob talks about issues and ideas never before raised with
him on air. This interview is a must listen!
Dr Robert M. Bowman is a former Director of Advanced Space Programs Development
for the U.S. Air Force in the Ford and Carter administrations, and a former
United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel with 101 combat missions in Vietnam.
He holds a PhD in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering from Cal Tech. He has
been a long time peace activist (30+ years) and was directly involved in preventing
nuclear war by exposing the crazies in the White House and in the Military Industrial
Complex for the idiocy they represent. Bob has found himself… Continue reading
June 9, 2010 Update
from Cindy Sheehan
On the 7th anniversary of the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq, eight people were arrested in front of the White House protesting the continuing crimes-you know that place! It's a big White House-as a matter of fact it's a HUGE White House in the middle of a park-like estate where heavily armed thugs protecting war criminals roam. It's okay to stop and gawk and take pictures if you are decked out in Hawaiian shirts or sundresses, but exercising fundamental rights to free speech or to peaceable assemble is not.
On March 20th, about 8000 people attended a permitted and almost lethargically tame protest in Lafayette Park, which is next to the HUGE White House. Then there was a march around in circles that landed the protest right back in front of the White House. Four people decided to lie down on the sidewalk in protest (four out of 8000), and four of us decided to cross the police line (a metal barrier on the sidewalk between the street and the high iron-barred, sniper guarded fence that surrounds the HUGE White House), to try and join the measly four that were lying there begging people to join them.
I was one of the ones arrested for crossing the police line. I did not push the barrier down, but when it fell, I crossed-I was immediately body slammed and arrested. That was at approximately 2:44pm. An amended police report misleadingly lied and said that I was given three warnings to leave-I was not and subsequent evidence shows that the warnings to disperse over the bullhorn didn't even begin until after I had been arrested.…

In July 1987, during the Iran-Contra Hearings grilling of Oliver North, the American public got a glimpse of "highly sensitive" emergency planning North had been involved in. Ostensibly these were emergency plans to suspend the American constitution in the event of a nuclear attack (a legitimate concern). But press accounts alleged that the planning was for a more generalized suspension of the constitution.
As part of its routine Iran-contra coverage, the following exchange was printed in the New York Times , but without journalistic comment or follow-up:
[Congressman Jack] Brooks: Colonel North, in your work at the N.S.C. were you not assigned, at one time, to work on plans for the continuity of government in the event of a major disaster?
Both North's attorney and Sen. Daniel Inouye, the Democratic Chair of the Committee, responded in a way that showed they were aware of the issue:
Brendan Sullivan [North's counsel, agitatedly]: Mr. Chairman?
[Senator Daniel] Inouye: I believe that question touches upon a highly sensitive and classified area so may I request that you not touch upon that?
Brooks: I was particularly concerned, Mr. Chairman, because I read in Miami papers, and several others, that there had been a plan developed, by that same agency, a contingency plan in the event of emergency, that would suspend the American… Continue reading

The U.S. government suppressed health information after 9/11. For example, as Newsday noted in 2003:
In the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center, the White House instructed the Environmental Protection Agency to give the public misleading information, telling New Yorkers it was safe to breathe when reliable information on air quality was not available.
That finding is included in a report released Friday by the Office of the Inspector General of the EPA.
Because the government lied about the health risks involved, many heroic first responders didn't use any real precautions, and so have gotten sick and died.
And see this.
The same thing appears to be happening in connection with the Gulf oil spill.
Specifically, marine toxicologist Ricki Ott writes:
Continue readingLocal fishermen hired to work on BP's uncontrolled oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico are scared and confused. Fishermen here and in other small communities dotting the southern marshes and swamplands of Barataria Bay are getting sick from the working on the cleanup, yet BP is assuring them they don't need respirators or other special protection from the crude oil, strong hydrocarbon vapors, or chemical dispersants being sprayed in massive quantities on the oil slick.
Fishermen have never seen the results from the air-quality monitoring patches some of them wear on their rain gear when they are out booming and skimming the giant oil slick. However, more and more fishermen are suffering from bad headaches, burning eyes, persistent coughs, sore throats, stuffy sinuses, nausea, and dizziness.

There they are, the people who brought you every bit of the action in the WikiLeaks video and all of the other horrors flowing from invasion of Iraq. Madeleine Albright (far right, above), former Clinton Secretary of State, is a good place to start. From 60 Minutes:
Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: "We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?"
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it. –60 Minutes (5/12/96)
An exhaustive study found that 227,000 children under five (table 13) died during the George H.W. Bush – Bill Clinton regime of total sanctions against Iraq from 1990 through 2000.
Albright is distinguished as the most direct spokesmodel for senseless death and suffering that's characterized our engagement with that battered country.
But others carry much greater responsibility. The Bush administration had top secret plans to invade Iraq as early as February 2001. First hand witnesses in the prewar White House were unable to name a point when the decision to invade was made. It was a fait accompli.
Prior to the war authorization from Congress, the various intelligence agencies submitted a report that claimed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Many nations had WMD. The report had to find that Iraq was an imminent danger to the… Continue reading

From the Huffington Post:
In anticipation of a final announcement as to the trial venue for the 9/11 plotters, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows is warning the president against "buckling to political pressure," calling the use of military tribunals the "wrong thing to do."
In a nearly four-minute long video, Donna Marsh O'Connor — a Peaceful Tomorrows member who lost her pregnant daughter when the Twin Towers collapsed — speaks both to the broad notion that America has a "historic commitment to justice" and, more narrowly, to the horse-trading politics that now surround terrorist trials. Reflecting disappointment with recent signals from the White House, O'Connor calls specifically for the president to reject a reported compromise proposal with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in which the administration would drop plans for civilian trials in exchange for Republican support for the closure of Gitmo.
"As 9/11 families, we have suffered greatly and waited almost nine years to see justice done with our own eyes," O'Connor says. "We understand that you face political pressure to back down. We ask that you do not allow fear and prejudice to govern your decision as we are not afraid. We know our country is strong enough to hold on to our values in the face of terrorism."
The video follows other efforts from Peaceful Tomorrows to advocate for civilian trials for the 9/11 suspects.

Even in World War II, the United States did not attempt to assassinate U.S. citizens who went over to the enemy, but that has now changed with President Obama's overseas contingency operations. On Feb. 3, Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair told the House Intelligence Committee that the United States government has developed procedures for killing American citizens abroad who are "involved" with groups threatening to carry out terrorist acts directed against other Americans. Three U.S. citizens have already been approved by the White House for summary execution as soon as actionable intelligence is developed to enable a pilotless drone's hellfire missiles to do the killing. One is Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Aulaqi; the second is American al-Qaeda member Adam Perlman, who goes under the name Adam Yahiye Gadahn; and the third is believed to be a Somali from Minnesota who has joined the al-Qaeda affiliate al-Shabab in the Horn of Africa. Anwar al-Aulaqi, linked in the media to the Christmas underwear bombing and with Major Malik Nadal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, has denied any involvement in either incident. Perlman, a propagandist for al-Qaeda, is in Waziristan. Killing these men would involve using military drones to attack targets in three countries with which the United States is not at war.
The Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution guarantee a citizen due process and a public trial, as well as the right to confront his accuser. The Obama administration… Continue reading
BoilingFrogsPost.com (Sibel Edmonds' Blog)
Recently released FBI documents prove the existence of highly sensitive National Security and criminal investigations of "Turkish Activities" in Chicago prior to September 11, 2001. These documents add further support to many of the allegations that former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds has claimed, in public and in Congress, since 2002. The documents were released under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request into an organization called the Turkish American Cultural Alliance (TACA), an organization repeatedly named by Ms. Edmonds as being complicit in the crimes that she became aware of when she was a translator at the FBI.
The documents released under FOIA are almost completely redacted, but they do support many of Edmonds' claims, including:
There were a number of very serious FBI investigations into "Turkish activity in Chicago" involving a number of targets, including TACA
These investigations were related to "National Security" among other things.
These investigations were regarded as so sensitive that no files were to be uploaded to FBI's computer system.
Congressional corruption was involved.
The FBI repeatedly conducted actual "physical surveillance" against Turkish and American targets.
Some of these investigations were shut down in 2001.
The documents comprise primarily of internal FBI ECs (Electronic Communications) between FBI offices. Most of the ECs are titled "Turkish American Cultural Association" although one from Feb 2000 is titled "Turkish Investigations in Chicago" which indicates that there were at least seven different pending investigations into Turkish activity in Chicago, and another later document from July 2001 indicates that there were at least ten investigations into TACA alone.…

March 20, 2010, thousands of people gathered across from the White House in D.C. and thousands more gathered around the U.S. to commemorate the 7th anniversary of the illegal U.S. attack on Iraq, and to protest Obama's continuation of the violent occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, and other abuses of power. Eight people- Cindy Sheehan, Elaine Brower, Matthis Chiroux, Jon Gold, Leflora Cunningham-Walsh, Dennis Frostbutter, Alex MacDonald and James Veeder- engaged in civil disobedience and were arrested.
Many people spoke at the D.C. rally, including peace activist Cindy Sheehan, organizer of the Peace Of The Action campaign and Camp OUT NOW. Cindy called for people to physically disrupt the activities of the war machine, and quoted from Mario Savio's 1964 statement at Berkeley:
"There"s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can"t take part; you can"t even passively take part; and you"ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers and all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop; and you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all."

In San Francisco, Daniel Ellsberg spoke to a rally of thousands on the importance of protest:
Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the top-secret Pentagon Papers study of the
Vietnam War and is the subject of the recent documentary film, "The Most Dangerous
Man in America," likened the protest and others like it around the country Saturday
to a day of demonstrations organized against the conflict in Vietnam in 1969.
"They thought it had no effect," he told the crowd in San Francisco, referring
to the 1969 protesters. "They were wrong."
Ellsberg said President Richard Nixon was planning to escalate the war
around that time, but held off.

Senior Bush administration officials sternly cautioned the 9/11 Commission against probing too deeply into the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, according to a document recently obtained by the ACLU.
The notification came in a letter dated January 6, 2004 , addressed by Attorney General John Ashcroft, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and CIA Director George J. Tenet. The ACLU described it as a fax sent by David Addington, then-counsel to former vice president Dick Cheney.
In the message, the officials denied the bipartisan commission's request to question terrorist detainees, informing its two senior-most members that doing so would "cross" a "line" and obstruct the administration's ability to protect the nation.
"In response to the Commission's expansive requests for access to secrets, the executive branch has provided such access in full cooperation," the letter read. "There is, however, a line that the Commission should not cross — the line separating the Commission's proper inquiry into the September 11, 2001 attacks from interference with the Government's ability to safeguard the national security, including protection of Americans from future terrorist attacks."
The 9/11 Commission, officially called the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States , was formed by President Bush in November of 2002 "to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks" and to offer recommendations for preventing future attacks.
"The Commission staff's proposed participation in questioning of detainees would cross that line," the letter continued. "As… Continue reading
In a bizarre, Soviet-style move, the White House has threatened to veto the intelligence budget unless everyone accepts the FBI frame up of Dr. Bruce Ivins.
As Bloomberg writes :
President Barack Obama probably would veto legislation authorizing the next budget for U.S. intelligence agencies if it calls for a new investigation into the 2001 anthrax attacks, an administration official said.
A proposed probe by the intelligence agencies' inspector general "would undermine public confidence" in an FBI probe of the attacks "and unfairly cast doubt on its conclusions," Peter Orszag, director of the Office of Management and Budget, wrote in a letter to leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence committees.
Given that an FBI investigation into a specific crime has nothing to do with the budget or any of OMB's other core responsibilities, it seems that Orszag simply drew the short straw for this little assignment.
As I wrote Thursday:
The FBI says that the anthrax case is closed, and that they have proved that Dr. Bruce Ivins did it.
But Congress is not convinced.
On March 3, 2010, Representative Holt called for a new investigation:
Last week, [Congressman Holt] succeeded in including language in the 2010 Intelligence Authorization Bill that would require the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community to examine the possibility of a foreign connection to the 2001 anthrax attacks.
"The American people need credible answers to all of these and many other questions. Only a comprehensive investigation–either by the Congress, or through the… Continue reading
A 50-year mystery over the 'cursed bread' of Pont-Saint-Esprit, which left residents suffering hallucinations, has been solved after a writer discovered the US had spiked the bread with LSD as part of an experiment.

French bread spiked with LSD in CIA experiment: An American investigative journalist has uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA peppered local food with the hallucinogenic drug LSD
In 1951, a quiet, picturesque village in southern France was suddenly and mysteriously struck down with mass insanity and hallucinations. At least five people died, dozens were interned in asylums and hundreds afflicted.
For decades it was assumed that the local bread had been unwittingly poisoned with a psychedelic mould. Now, however, an American investigative journalist has uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA peppered local food with the hallucinogenic drug LSD as part of a mind control experiment at the height of the Cold War.
The mystery of Le Pain Maudit (Cursed Bread) still haunts the inhabitants of Pont-Saint-Esprit, in the Gard, southeast France.
On August 16, 1951, the inhabitants were suddenly racked with frightful hallucinations of terrifying beasts and fire.
One man tried to drown himself, screaming that his belly was being eaten by snakes. An 11-year-old tried to strangle his grandmother. Another man shouted: "I am a plane", before jumping out of a second-floor window, breaking his legs. He then got up and carried on for 50 yards. Another saw his heart escaping through his feet and begged a doctor to… Continue reading
Court hears Richard Purssell describes 'shocking event' in Haifa court on first day of civil suit brought by Corrie family against Israel
by Rory McCarthy in Haifa 10 March 2010 guardian.co.uk
[Watch a brief video clip from the Guardian of Rachel's mother and father, and their lawyer, speaking.]
A British witness told a court today about how he had watched an Israeli military bulldozer run over and kill the American activist Rachel Corrie while she was trying to stop Palestinians' homes being demolished in Gaza.
Richard Purssell, who was also a volunteer activist in Rafah at the time, seven years ago, described the "shocking and dramatic event" in an Israeli court in Haifa on the first day of a civil suit brought by Corrie's family against the Israeli state.
Twenty-three-year-old Corrie, from Olympia, Washington, in the US, went to Gaza for peace activism reasons at a time when there was intense conflict between the Israeli military and the Palestinians.
The Corrie family lawyer, Hussein Abu Hussein, said he would argue that her death was due either to gross negligence by the Israeli military or that it was intended. If the Israeli state were found responsible, the family would press for damages.
Purssell, a Briton, now working as a landscape gardener, said he volunteered with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) to witness events in the occupied Palestinian territories for himself.

In an effort to get more people voting to select their mayors, city councils and school board members, state lawmakers are considering ling legislation to move local elections from the spring to the fall.
One of Sedgwick County's new state senators, Michael O'Donnell, believes a bill to move the local elections has a "better than 50 percent chance of passage" in the 2013 Kansas Legislature.
Holding local elections -- mayor, city council and school board races -- in the fall with state and federal elections would save about $80,000 locally while hopefully boosting local turnout, Republican proponents say.
"If we're tripling voter turnout in some cases that's a huge victory and saving money for taxpayers that's needed for numerous projects is a positive, too." Rep. Scott Schwab, R-Olathe, local elections chair in the Kansas House, is drafting a bill to have primaries every August and general elections every fall. Under his bill, local elections would occur in odd-numbered years; state and national elections in even-numbered years. Other Republicans, such as O'Donnell, want local, state and national elections held at the same time to save money.
Schwab said he expects both ideas to be fully discussed.
"It's going to be a good debate," Schwab said. "There are a lot of reasons to do it and a lot of reasons not to do it."
Schwab acknowledged that alternating state and local election years wouldn't save money, but said he's also skeptical that combining the elections in even-numbered years would save very much.
He said his main goal is to increase interest in local elections that now draw meager turnout because "people aren't wired to vote in the spring."
For example in Sedgwick County, only about 14 percent of registered voters cast ballots in the spring 2011 elections for city and school board races, and only about 7.8 percent in the February primaries.
In contrast, 65 percent of Sedgwick County voters cast ballots in November's presidential election. The largest spring turnout locally was in 2005, when 38 percent voted on a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and civil unions.
While Schwab believes he could increase turnout by moving elections to the fall, he worries that local issues could get lost in state and national debates if all the elections are held during the same year.
"The problem you have is the major issue in Great Bend, Kansas, is to slow down the speed limit on (Highway) 281," he said. "You can't have that debate when everyone else is talking about Obamacare and guns. You just can't, and that's the reason why we have the spring elections."
"But the problem is, after this last presidential election, people are tired. They've spent two years doing their homework, and they don't want to engage. That's why you do want to move them."
Non-partisan elections
Fall local elections don't draw an immediate no from Joan Wagnon, chairwoman of the Kansas Democratic Party, who remembers campaigning for the job of Topeka's mayor in snow and ice.
City and school board candidates run without identifying themselves as Republicans or Democrats, something some Republicans intend to change as part of the election shift. Wagnon and Democrat Rep. Nile Dillmore, who represents District 92 in northwest Wichita, say they'll fight that change.
"Speaking as a Democrat, I've had a lot of Republican support in non-partisan elections," Wagnon said. "If there were some way to keep the non-partisan nature of these elections and run them in the fall, then yes, I'd say that makes some sense."
Wagnon said her support for non-partisan local elections is simple: In intensely Republican Kansas, a non-partisan election is often the only way for a Democrat to get a fair hearing from voters.
"People vote party if they don't know who you are," she said. "This way, people vote more on the person, not the party."
Dillmore agreed, saying non-partisan local elections produce more qualified candidates and a more informed electorate.
"You get greater numbers of people who want to step up and run. It encourages a lot more individuals to be involved," Dillmore said. "And by separating a party label from the election, voters get a chance to focus more on the issues and more on the people who want to tackle those issues. Government benefits as a result."
Republican Rep. Mark Kahrs, a first-term House member from District 87 in Sedgwick County, supports the election change. He says local elections need to be partisan if they're going to be consolidated with state and national races.
"The issues we face at the local government level are exactly the same at the state level," he said.
Logistical issues
The proposed change gets a tepid review from Tabitha Lehman, the Sedgwick County election commissioner, who worries about unintended consequences that the shift could produce.
"I'll be very honest. The fiscal conservative in me thinks it is a great idea. The election officer in me is freaking out," she said.
A fall election in Kansas carries with it multiple logistics problems, and the potential for cost increases that could wipe out any savings, she said.
"I have no doubt that it would be good for the voter, but we may not be saving anything here," she said.
For example, Lehman said the wordy boat tax constitutional question on November's general election ballot required a 17-inch long ballot that had to be outsourced, at a cost of $63,000 to county taxpayers since the county press can't handle 17-inch paper.
There could be new equipment needs as the size of the election and turnout grow, she said.
And then there are multiple logistical issues, including ballot styles and the types of elections held by various cities and school districts.
"It's dicey," she said. "Cities and school districts often have their own nuances built into their elections, and you're adding this at a time when we're all busier already."
Kahrs, though, downplays her assessment.
"If you consolidate the local election with the state election, there's simply no question there will be a cost savings. I don't know how much, but I'm certain there will be."

'Heat stroke' caused India's lunar probe to fail - report
Related News
NEW DELHI, September 7 (RIA Novosti) - India's first lunar mission may have failed as a result of overheating, a national daily reported on Monday.
Chandrayaan-1 was launched in October 2008 and its main mission was conducting geological mapping of the Moon's surface aimed at producing a complete map of the chemical characteristics and 3-D topography. Chandrayaan means Moon Craft in Sanskrit.
According to The Times of India, Chandrayaan's orbit around the Moon was raised up to 200km (124 miles) from 100km (62 miles) earlier in May this year because of a blunder in calculating the Moon's temperature that led to a faulty thermal protection.
The paper quoted Dr. T. K. Alex, director of the satellite center at the Indian Space Research Organization, as saying that it had been assumed the temperature at 100km above the Moon's surface would be around 75 degrees Celsius (167 Fahrenheit). "However, it was more than 75 degrees and problems started to surface. We had to raise the orbit to 200km."
The paper said heating problems on the craft had begun last November, forcing some of the payloads to deactivate.
In early 2009, the orbiter's two star sensors started malfunctioning and then failed because of high temperatures. The sensors are crucial in determining the orientation of the craft in space.
The project was terminated on August 30, when communication with the spacecraft suddenly failed, although 95% of the scientific aims had been accomplished, according to space officials.
Despite the failure, Chandrayaan-1 managed to transmit excellent images including that of the solar eclipse on July 22.

Project by DaleM | posted 1766 days ago | 1824 views | 2 times favorited | 11 comments |
Just a few simple projects I made in the past. The first two are curling iron/hair dryer holders one of which now belongs to my wife and one belongs to my sister. My wife wanted one years ago when the only tools I had were a drill and a jigsaw but I got it done. Hers is the second one shown, with the round loop for the hair dryer. The first one is my sister's with a closeup of the box in the second pic. I looked them up online when my wife described what she wanted and there were a lot of them, some with shelves on the bottom, but none with boxes, so I made her one with a box to hold all of her hair stuff. My sister saw the pic and wanted one too. The folding basket I made was because my sister and a friend were at my aunt's house and saw an apple shaped one and wanted one, but wanted it to be shaped like a heart. I thought I could make one with my jigsaw, but it won't hold a precise enough angle and the kerf was too thick so I bought a scrollsaw and made a couple of these. The base is yellow pine and the basket is red oak. These are fun projects and good to develop skills for a new woodworker.

Thanks for all the comments. I just want to add something I learned. The lid on the box of the first curling iron holder pictured has warped just slightly because I didn't think it necessary at the time to put the poly finish on the inside of the box. As I've learned since, and a lot of you already know, putting finish on just one side of something allows it to absorb moisture on only one side and therefore warp. And where is this thing? In a bathroom of course where every time someone showers it turns into a steambath. Both of the curling iron/hair dryer holders are made from poplar by the way which seems to absorb moisture pretty quickly. -- Dale Manning, Carthage, NY |

I've been thinking of some collapsable things for years… haven't done it… yet… What angle do you use? I guess there is a function of angle & wood thickness…? Do you think a band saw would workout?

Joe, for 3/4 wood, I used a 3 degree angle. More, and it won't open much, less and some of the layers don't catch and leaves gaps. I don't know about a bandsaw, maybe with a 1/16" blade? Thanks for the comment. -- Dale Manning, Carthage, NY |

Aren't your scrollsaw blades super thin? Typical BS blade is less than 1/32" but not as thin as a scrollsaw blade. -- Have Fun! Joe Lyddon - Alta Loma, CA USA - Home: http://www.WoodworkStuff.net ... My Small Gallery: http://www.ncwoodworker.net/pp/showgallery.php?ppuser=1389&cat=500" |

Yes, the scrollsaw blades I have are way thinner than my bandsaw blade, but I only have the 1/2" resaw blade so I didn't know how thin the smaller ones might be. I believe with the thicker kerf you could still do it but you would need to increase the angle a lot more than 3 degrees so the bottom of the piece will catch on the top as you spread it open. -- Dale Manning, Carthage, NY |

Even if the SERPS were as good as Google's, why would people select a screen full of adverts over a cleaner interface? They wouldn't. I sincerely hope AV will get the message eventually, but I suspect they won't.
The actual SERPS are not too bad (not as good as Google's but better than the past). However, I think that Liane called it right at the beginning of the thread... far too much PPC rubbish on the page.

Person of Interest Review: Lawyer Love
by Sean McKenna at .Person of Interest usually featured such a fun charm that surrounds its techno-themed show of vigilante justice, from the action to the humor to the characters involved.
But while there were small moments that tried to peak out and prove themselves entertaining, "Reasonable Doubt" was mostly a boring turn of events that could easily be tossed into the "filler" pile of episodes.
And I know that every series has those type of episodes that are standalone, but this drama has been relatively good at making those exciting in their own right. Guess it just didn't work out to be the nifty twisty lawyer love case it wanted to be.
Giving Bear some screen time at the veterinarian's office that involved an actual job rather than a walk around the park was a great way to start the hour off. Sure, the bad guys in the opening bit were laughable, but the ferocious canine had a take down worthy of a doggy treat.
Now, the concept of the Machine producing a number that could be a victim or a perpetrator is obviously not a new one, so it wasn't groundbreaking or really fresh to repeatedly point that out. It's something viewers are already accustomed to and have had plenty of experiences with the circumstances and twists that reveal if someone is in danger or about to cause trouble.
And at first, the top-notch prosecutor married to the defense attorney twisted love affair and possible murder seemed interesting. A lawyer, who may or may not have killed her husband, having the smarts and wherewithal to get away with it?
But it didn't take long for the story to twist and turn so many times from faking the death to framing the wife to sleeping with the best friend, etc. that it became tiresome. On top of that, the hour was filled with exposition about everything, forcing the characters to sit around talking about a bunch of stuff in order to fit all the information into the episode. It bogged the moments down.
I wouldn't have minded if the constant explanation of things involved maybe some history or info about one of the core characters, but it was mostly about the female prosecutor and her husband who didn't show up until the last minutes of the episode.
It was tough to really care about their antics as the story went on.
I liked Fusco and Shaw at the bank, and it was a bit humorous when she went to use the knife, but I just hope the season doesn't overdo it with Shaw's character. I did like her bluntness at the book club with the best friend, all before cocking her gun and asking what book they were discussing. I just worry that in an effort to illustrate just how hardcore, angry and dangerous she can be might turn her into a cartoonish caricature rather than a real person. Perhaps some smaller doses might help.
Reese and Finch are always enjoyable to watch, but they too were stuck with explaining this plot piece or what a character was doing while we're watching them do it or explaining the twist just discovered.
I guess you could call it poetic "justice" (get it, the name of the boat) with the way Reese left the two lawyers to shoot each other, rather than save either of them. But at that point, I think even he was tired of the whole situation.
As for Carter, her new partner - who acted overly suspicious - turned out to be feeding intel to Raymond Terney who works for HR. I was disappointed that was the case, as it seemed too obvious to have the new partner not just be a new partner. If anything, there's no way he's lasting this season. Either HR is going to kill him because they don't need him anymore or he realizes the error of his ways and dies trying to save Carter. Guess we'll find out just how much damage he'll do to Carter and the team.
It's been a very long while since I've been bored with an episode on this show. There were a few moments where I did smile and chuckle, but the hour was missing that fun element that keeps the story, characters and everything involved exciting. I'm sure by the end of Person of Interest Season 3, this will be one of the episode we all will forgot about anyway.

Its fun when audience is divided, they aren't afraid to throw things at your faces, sometimes it sticks and sometimes it doesn't, I appreciate that they don't keep on playing safe and are willing to do things differently.
Arcs will start with mid-season finale, don't expect every episode to be arc based, this is procedural show with serialized elements not the other way round.
this season serious letdown. Ruining it , Shaw a cartoon character already, whole tone has changed. Maybe it can keep audience and/or get new one , but is not same show as it used to be, now seems very perfunctory and less dramatic , an NCIS knock-off with a large squad of good guys-even meeting with people in Apt with long table instead of deserted library sets a different vib. Too bad i loved Seasons1 and 2.
I like Shaw (Sarah Shahi), Bear(the doggy), Root (Amy Acker) and of course the rest of the regular cast members.
I think that the show is going to go in new and interesting directions. While I like the previous two seasons for the story line and format, it would get old after awhile. I think that the new dynamic of Shaw and Root will add some complexity to the show overall - and that could be a good thing.

"Welcome to my personal JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising page!
I'll be taking part in this year's Walk to raise funds for the millions of people living with and affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). The money I raise will help JDRF fund critical research to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people's lives until no one has to fear developing the disease.
Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin - a hormone essential to the ability to get energy from food. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.
JDRF is the largest nongovernmental funder of T1D research and the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. This science is complex and costly, and every dollar JDRF is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.
Please support me and donate to my Walk fundraising campaign. Your gift will make a difference for millions of people affected by this devastating, life-threatening disease. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible today?
Thank you for your support!"
That's the basic description of both JDRF and Type 1 Diabetes. However, T1D is so much more than that. T1D is a lifestyle. T1D is a lifelong struggle. T1D is sometimes overwhelming. And worst of all, sometimes, T1D seems to only effect you.
T1D is all of these things, but I've found that T1D is so much more. T1D is an opportunity; an opportunity to teach, to share, and to encourage. T1D is a perspective. Most importantly, I find that T1D is a platform. T1D gives me purpose, and a drive to better my world and encourage others around me who struggle with some of the same things I do.
I was diagnosed rather recently, on May 29, 2013. I had graduated high school as the Valedictorian of my class only 5 days prior. I was on top of world, and all of a sudden, my world seemed to be crashing down around me. I was sent to the Emergency Room at Vanderbilt University on May 30 because my primary care physician thought I was experiencing DKA. For those of you that don't know, DKA, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, is a condition when your body can't process the sugar in your blood, so it burns fat to gain energy, and the by-product of this is Ketones. When ketones accumulate in your blood, the acidity of your blood is affected, which can be a life or death situation.
I was down for several weeks about my condition. Why had this happened to me? Why now, when I'm fixing to experience a major change in my life with the beginning of my college career?
Sometimes, you just have to accept what is going on and roll with it. It took a little while, but I got there. I realized that God is going to use this condition to give me a Platform to glorify his kingdom. My hope and strength is found in my relationship with Christ, and a future kingdom awaiting me gives me hope to get through my daily struggles. Paul, in Romans 8:18, says, "I believe that the present suffering is nothing compared to the coming glory that will be revealed to us." This has become my comfort and strength verse over the last few months, and I hope that it will bring comfort to you as well.
T1D is not the end all. It's manageable, and one day, I know it will be curable. As a Cell and Molecular Biology major with a Pre-med focus at Union University, I hope to do undergraduate research involving Diabetes to hopefully help advance the search for a cure. For now though, I need your assistance to help JDRF.
Change your perspective. Look for a platform. Understand that you can take an active role in helping encourage thousands of people living with Type 1 Diabetes. Thank you in advance for your interest in JDRF, and I hope that you will use my story to further the public's understanding of the challenges of Type 1 Diabetes.
