The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Oct 30, 2013
Quick Summary
The final report in the "Payday Lending in America" series discusses the safeguards that are necessary to create successful small-dollar loan markets, and presents an analysis of a recent Colorado law change showing these safeguards can be applied while maintaining access to credit.
Pew's research conclusively shows that payday loans are unaffordable for most borrowers. The loans require payments equal to one-third of a typical borrower's income, far exceeding most customers' ability to repay and meet other financial obligations without quickly borrowing again.
In its final report in the Payday Lending in America series, Pew provides guidance for federal and state policymakers on how to make the payday loan marketplace more safe, transparent, and predictable.
Pew's recommendations draw on a detailed analysis of regulation in Colorado, where state policymakers replaced a single, unaffordable, lump-sum repayment with a series of installment payments distributed over six months.
A poll of payday loan borrowers, which also appears in the latest report, indicates support for such reform—an overwhelming 9 in 10 support a system of installment payments over time instead of the conventional lump-sum-repayment structure.

The Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter was a long-range heavy military cargo aircraft based on the B-29 bomber. Design work began in 1942, with the prototype's first flight being on 9 November 1944, and the first production aircraft entered service in 1947. Between 1947 and 1958, 888 C-97s in several versions were built, 816 being KC-97 tankers. C-97s served in the Berlin Airlift, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Some aircraft served as flying command posts for the Strategic Air Command, while others were modified for use in Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadrons (ARRS).
Design and development[edit]
The C-97 Stratofreighter was developed towards the end of World War II by fitting an enlarged upper fuselage onto a lower fuselage and wings which were essentially the same as those of the B-50 Superfortress with the tail, wing, and engine layout being nearly identical. It was built before the death of Boeing president Philip G. Johnson. It can be easily distinguished from the 377 Stratocruiser by the "beak" radome beneath the nose and by the flying boom and jet engines on later tanker models.
The prototype XC-97 was powered by the 2,200 hp (1,600 kW) Wright R-3350 engine, the same used in the B-29. This aircraft and the other pre-production examples were fitted with a shorter fin and rudder than used subsequently. The C-97 had clamshell doors under its tail, so that a retractable ramp could be used to drive in cargo. However, unlike the later Lockheed C-130 Hercules, it was not designed as a combat transport which could deliver directly to primitive forward bases using relatively short takeoffs and landings. The rear ramp could not be used in flight for air drops.
On 9 January 1945, the first prototype, piloted by Major Curtin L. Reinhardt, flew from Seattle to Washington, DC in 6 hours 4 minutes, an average speed of 383 mph (616 km/h) with 20,000 lb (9,100 kg) of cargo, which was for its time impressive for such a large aircraft. Production models featured the 3,500 hp (2,600 kW) Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major engine, the same engine as for the B-50.
The C-97 had a useful payload of 35,000 lb (16,000 kg) and could carry two normal trucks, towed artillery, or light tracked vehicles such as the M56 Scorpion. The C-97 was also the first mass-produced air transport to feature cabin pressurization, which made long range missions somewhat more comfortable for its crew and passengers.
Operational history[edit]
One YC-97A (45-9595) was used in the Berlin Airlift during April 1949 operating for the 1st Strategic Support Squadron. It suffered a landing gear accident at Rhein Main Air Base and by the time it was repaired, the Soviet Blockade was lifted.
C-97s evacuated casualties during the Korean War. C-97s also participated in the Biafran airlift, delivering relief materials to Uli airstrip in Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War. Flying under the cover of darkness and at treetop level to evade radar, at least two C-97s were lost.[1]
The USAF Strategic Air Command operated C-97 Stratofreighters from 1949-1978. Early in its service life, it served as an airborne alternative SAC command post. While only 60 C-97 transports were built, 816 were built as KC-97 Stratotankers for inflight refueling. Many KC-97s were later refitted as C-97G transports and equipped several squadrons of the US Air National Guard.
The civilian derivative of the C-97 was the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, a very luxurious transoceanic airliner which featured a lower deck lounge and could be fitted with sleeper cabins.
Two C-97s are still airworthy at the present day, one (s/n 52-2718, named "Angel of Deliverance") operated as a privately owned warbird, the other operated as a fire bomber in the United States.
The Israelis turned to Stratocruisers and KC-97s when they could not buy the highly regarded C-130.[citation needed] The Israelis adapted Boeing 377 Stratocruiser airliners into transports, including many using C-97 tail sections including the loading ramp.[citation needed] Others were adapted with swiveling tails and refueling pods.[citation needed] One Israeli C-97 was downed by an Egyptian SA-2 Guideline missile on 17 September 1971, while flying as an electronic counter-measures platform some 12 miles from the Suez Canal.[2][3]

This kit was developed many years ago and now countless cars are running it and putting down the numbers. We have put together what we think is the best horsepower per dollar modification available for your Mustang. You can literally bolt this kit on and double the factory horsepower (close to TRIPLE the torque). In stock form most 5.0L motors will put down around 185 +/- rear wheel horsepower; with the addition of this kit most stock 5.0's cars are making around the 400-520 rear wheel HP.
On the street, our single turbo test car is an absolute animal with this kit installed but drivability of the car didn't even change. The kit ratains A/C and power steering but in order to fit the turbo and downpipe, the smog pump must be removed.

TORONTO -- A day after staying quiet at the start of NHL free agency, the Toronto Maple Leafs jumped in with a big splash.
The Leafs signed unrestricted free-agent centre Tim Connolly to a two-year contract reportedly worth US$9.5 million.
"This is the most excited I've been for a season in a long time," said Connolly from a hotel in the Turks and Caicos.
The move was announced Saturday only hours after marquee free-agent centre Brad Richards agreed to join the New York Rangers.
The Leafs were among the teams courting Richards on Friday with an in-person presentation, hoping to land a player who could centre Toronto's top line with Phil Kessel.
"He has tremendous speed and talent and I've usually been able to find chemistry with that type of player," said Connolly of his new teammate Kessel. "My job is to get him the puck and get it to him often. I'm really excited."
Connolly is coming off a strong season in Buffalo where he had 13 goals and 42 points in 68 games. However, the Sabres were one the teams dishing out big money on the first day of free agency, highlighted by handing 19-goal man Ville Leino a $27-million, six-year deal, but didn't make an offer to Connolly.
"There were a few other teams interested but what it came down to was my agent (J.P. Barry) talking with Dave Nonis and Brian Burke and they showed interest before the Brad Richards signing and we decided the Maple Leafs will be the best fit for me," said Connolly.
Connolly, who was born in Syracuse, N.Y., and compares playing for Toronto to playing for the New York Yankees, joins the Leafs with a long history of injuries. He played all 82 games just once in eight years with Buffalo.
"I am healthy ... and the way I feel now is great," said Connolly.
He's going into his 11th NHL season, having also spent time with the New York Islanders. In 627 career games, Connolly has 118 goals and 277 assists for 395 points.
Connolly has played in 36 career playoff games with five goals and 18 assists, and had two assists in Buffalo's first-round loss to Philadelphia last season.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

I hope that you've found some useful information over the past few weeks with our color theory posts. The most important part of using and understanding color is having fun with it! Remember that color theory isn't a strict set of rules, but more of a guide to help you better your method of choosing and placing fabric in your quilts.
I wanted to leave you with a few resources of inspiration, fun, and reference. Two websites I actually just found myself that are great for color scheme inspiration are: www.ColourLovers.com and www.ColorSchemeDesigner.com. Don't forget about our Design Table! It's a great resource for comparing our fabrics right online.

"I was running to second, slid in and felt something grabbing my groin," Gyorko explained. "I thought it was just a cramp. My body was pulling against a muscle. My timing, endurance, stance, all changed. I kinda had to start all over. I even had to go over the tendencies of the pitchers again."
As a result, his batting average, sitting at a lofty .288 on June 8, started to plummet after his return from the disabled list. He went 2 for 26, then 4 for 33 and finally 5 for 51. Only now has he started to drag himself back into 100-percent shape and move the average back near the .250 mark. (He was at .247 going into Saturday night's game at Atlanta.)
He never lost his position, though.
"Jedd won the job back in spring training," said Padres manager Bud Black. "He simply did everything we asked of him. And defensively it became apparent right away he could handle everything we threw at him."
Gyorko had been moved from third base to second by the Padres simply because they had an everyday third baseman in Headley. A year ago they had gone through Orlando Hudson, Logan Forsythe and Alexi Amarista at second. Gyorko won the position and has held his own, committing only six errors while playing alongside shortstops Everth Cabrera, Ronny Cedeno, Forsythe and Amarista.
"I had played [second base] some in college so it wasn't completely foreign to me," Gyorko said. "I think they are happy with my play at second this season."
One concern, though, is Gyorko's strikeout total.
"Strikeouts?" questioned Padres hitting instructor Phil Plantier of Gyorko's whiffs, which were up to 109 in 425 at bats. "Yes, we are concerned, but that number will go down next year. The injuries hurt him, but it's a matter of learning the tendencies of the pitchers he is facing. It's not the pitch he is striking out on that bothers us, it's the first or second strike and those pitches before the punchout that he is just missing that concern us. It can and will be fixed. He is just too good of a hitter."
'Dig a little deeper'
It's 396 feet to the dead-center-field wall at Petco Park. On this day, Gyorko had been hit by a pitch on the shoulder in the first inning and then teed off on a Tim Lincecum splitter in the fourth inning for a 392-foot double that hit that wall on one bounce. No small feat considering Lincecum had led the National League in strikeouts in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
But when Gyorko next approached the plate with two runners on base and two out in the sixth, the Padres were trailing 8-5 and Jean Machi was coming in to replace Lincecum for the Giants.
With a little time to kill, the scoreboard operator dropped in a tape, THE tape. The one blaring "Country Roads," the one showing various exploits of the rookie from Morgantown, the one Gyorko would rather not hear.
Perfect ending?
Nope. He struck out.
Next time maybe they should cue Aldean and his lyrics: "Full throttle, wide open you get tired, you don't show it. Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more. That's the only way I know."
That's more Jedd anyway.

Brotherhood of the Traveling Pants: Doug Liman Goes From Bourne to Brooklyn, Puts Millennials Under Microscope
"I'm more inclined to see the villains' point of view in my movies," Doug Liman told The Observer on a brisk October afternoon over bottles of Poland Spring in the Tribeca studio of his production company, Hypnotic. "When you grow up in New York, you're more inclined to see everybody's point of view."
Mr. Liman, who was raised on the Upper East Side and graduated from Fieldston and later Brown, was answering our question about how a local sensibility has crept into his Hollywood work. He does seem to have a soft spot for certain bad guys—say, Chris Cooper's Conklin from Bourne Identity, whom the director based on Oliver North. "You identify with all the bureaucratic hassles that he has to deal with," Mr. Liman told us. "People who believe they are patriotic, bypassing all these rules of law to get done what they think is right." Read More

What's the difference between certified CME and promotional activities? How do CME programs manage conflicts of interest?
The National Task Force on CME Provider/Industry Collaboration's Public Affairs Committee has introduced a nationwide "Get the Facts" campaign to provide the answers to those questions and others, in order to dispel misperceptions about CME held by lawmakers and policymakers, journalists, and the public. The campaign launched with a pair of one-page fact sheets addressing these issues, which were disseminated at the National Task Force annual meeting held in October in Baltimore.
"Others are defining what our future looks like," said Maureen Doyle-Scharff, MBA, senior director, medical education, Pfizer, New York, and chairwoman of the public relations committee. "We need to set the record straight and start owning the CME enterprise."
Co-presenter Linda Raichle, PhD, president, Spectrum Medical Education, Blue Bell, Pa., urged attendees to "get on the bandwagon and be part of the band." The presenters encouraged the audience to distribute the fact sheets to physicians, CME faculty and planners, friends, colleagues, co-workers, association members, media, and local lawmakers; incorporate them into employee training manuals; and post the fact sheets on their organizations' Web sites.
The public affairs committee intends to make presentations at other conferences as well as send out press releases. Additional fact sheets will follow on industry support of CME, the value of collaboration, and other topics.
For more information, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or get the fact sheets at the AMA web site.

Where, When and What Channel: The game will start at 7 p.m. EST at the Verizon Center. You can watch it on Comcast SportsNet+ (you can find where CSN+ is on your cable provider here).
Wait, wasn't this game supposed to be on ESPN? Yeah, before the season started ESPN had this slotted as a national game before realizing it featured the Wizards and the Pistons. So now it's back on local TV for tonight. Plan accordingly!
The Wizards have knocked off the Heat, Thunder, Knicks, Bulls, Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets and Rockets this year. Why can't they beat the Pistons? Well, no one can seem to figure that one out. Martell Webster blames it on "sorcery" (last time I checked, Wizards are a lot more into sorcery than engine parts) but it probably doesn't help the Wizards didn't have John Wall for the first two meetings this year. The other big factor? Offensive rebounding. In all three games, Detroit has grabbed at least 32 percent of the available offensive rebounds. It's really hard to win when you allow the opposing team to grab nearly a third of their misses.
Wizards' most successful months since 2000 | ||
Month | Year | Win % |
Dec. | 2006 | 75 |
Dec. | 2001 | 73.3 |
Jan. | 2005 | 73.3 |
Jan. | 2007 | 66.7 |
Feb. | 2006 | 66.7 |
Feb. | 2013 | 63.6* |
Mar. | 2008 | 62.5 |
Apr. | 2008 | 62.5 |
Apr. | 2011 | 62.5 |
Dec. | 2007 | 61.5 |
* - With a win tonight, Wizards would improve win percentage in February to 66.7 percent. |
What's on the line tonight (besides pride and avoiding a sweep against Detroit)? Tonight, the Wizards could put a nice cap on a great month. A win tonight would give them an 8-4 record for the month of February. The last time they finished with a better record than that was back in December of 2006. That month was notable because Eddie Jordan won Eastern Conference coach of the month, Gilbert Arenas was named Eastern Conference player of the month, the Wizards won overtime thrillers on the road against the Lakers and Suns and as you may recall, Gilbert Arenas had a pretty nice game during that stretch.
Who needs to step it up to help the Wizards avoid the sweep? The Wizards could use a good game from Kevin Seraphin tonight. In the Wizards' other three games against Detroit, he's shot 9-30 from the field (30 percent) and only grabbed 12 rebounds in 61 minutes of play. Even with Andre Drummond out, the Pistons still have a formidable collection of bigs. As good as Emeka Okafor and Nene have been for the Wizards this season, this isn't a game where they can control the paint. If Seraphin can't provide a spark off the bench, it's going to be tough to avoid going 0-4 against the Pistons.
Who is averaging more points per game than Trevor Ariza this season? Kyle Singler is. Bet you probably didn't expect that.

The circuit court heard oral arguments [JURIST report] on the case in September after the district court had originally ordered Slahi's release in March. The 9/11 commission report said that Slahi was connected to the 9/11 terrorist attacks [Miami Herald report], and he was once considered a key al Qaeda leader with prosecutors seeking the death penalty against him. A prominent government prosecutor stepped down from the case [PBS interview] because he did not support the alleged abusive treatment used against Slahi, which was investigated in a 2008 Senate Armed Services Committee [official website] report [text, PDF].
the U.S. Supreme Court has held that federal courts are not required to obtain a state court's construction of a state statute or ordinance before deciding a federal constitutional challenge to the law and should not certify such question unless the law is fairly susceptible to a narrowing construction. Also, the Court has held that it is "manifestly inappropriate to certify a question in a case where ... there is no uncertain question of state law whose resolution might affect the pending federal claim."
In September, the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld [opinion, PDF] a lower court's ruling that a similar law passed by the town of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, was preempted by federal law [JURIST report]. Immigration issues have come to the fore in the US since the passage of Arizona's controversial SB 1070 [JURIST news archive]. Earlier this week, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit heard oral arguments [JURIST report] on the law's constitutionality. The law was passed because of concerns that federal officials were not taking the issue seriously, but the US Department of Homeland Security announced recently that the US deported a record number of illegal immigrants [JURIST report] in 2010.
Earlier this week, a Yemeni court sentenced 10 Somali Pirates [JURIST report] to five years in prison for attacking Yemeni fishing boats. The international community has been supporting actions taken against maritime piracy, but the UN has recently had to call for nations to assist Kenya in conducting piracy trials [JURIST report]. In June, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) announced [JURIST report] that it would spend more than USD $9.3 million to fund courts that prosecute suspected Somali pirates. This action came in response to the Kenyan government's announcement in April that it would no longer accept [JURIST report] Somali pirate cases due to its overburdened legal system. The month of April also saw the UN Security Council approve a resolution [JURIST report] calling on member states to criminalize piracy under their domestic laws as well as an announcement from the UN that a trust fund established to combat piracy will be funding five projects [UN News Centre report] in an effort to help Somalia and its neighbors reduce acts of piracy committed in nearby bodies of water.
The US submitted its national report [JURIST report] to the UNHRC in August, and the report included mention of Arizona's controversial immigration law, SB 1070 [JURIST news archive]. The inclusion of that law angered Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who later wrote to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton requesting the deletion [JURIST report] of that section of the report. The US was elected to the UNHRC [JURIST report] in May 2009. In anticipation of that election and in an effort to secure a seat on the council, the US released a document [JURIST report] in April of that year asserting its commitment to human rights, marking a reversal of the prior administration's stance towards the body. The UNHRC was created [JURIST report] in 2006, at which time the Bush administration declined to seek a Council seat or participate in its proceedings due to a perceived anti-Israeli sentiment.
In September, an MOD report found that the UK's treatment of detainees complies with domestic and international law [JURIST report]. In July, UK Prime Minister David Cameron [official website] announced that he would create a panel [JURIST report] to investigate claims that British government agents were complicit in the torture of terrorism suspects held overseas. The investigation stems from a civil action, brought by 12 ex-detainees who allege that British agents participated in their abuse while they were held in prisons in Pakistan, Morocco and other countries. The UK will ask them to drop their lawsuits in exchange for possible compensation and a promise that the impending inquiry will fully investigate their claims. In June, the UK government indicated that it will issue a new set of regulations regarding the use of information obtained via torture [JURIST report] as claims of complicity in torture were made against the government in a Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] report [materials] released the same day.
Last month, representatives from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the ICTR appeared before the UN General Assembly to request additional financial resources [JURIST report] and institutional support on behalf of the various war crimes tribunals. In June, the ICTR transferred [JURIST report] the cases of 25 suspects to Rwandan authorities. The suspects, who have been investigated but not yet indicted by the ICTR, are believed to be in hiding abroad. The transfers are a part of the strategy intended to finish [completion strategy text, PDF] the court's trial work by 2011. Rwandan Prosecutor General Martin Ngoga told the UN Security Council last year that the decisions by the ICTR not to transfer pending cases to Rwandan jurisdiction, including genocide suspects Jean-Baptiste Gatete and Yussuf Munyakazi [case materials] undermines judicial reforms [JURIST report] and hinders national reconciliation.
The law was sponsored by state Representative Rex Duncan (R) [official website], who described it as a preemptive strike [Daily Mail report] against the use of Islamic law in Oklahoma. The necessity of the amendment has been questioned [CNN report] due to the fact that the use of Islamic law in US courts would likely violate the First Amendment prohibition on laws respecting an establishment of religion.
The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] upheld [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] the statute in 2008 on the basis that it is a licensing law, which exempts it from being preempted by federal law. The court also concluded that the LAWA reflects the "rising frustration with the United States Congress's failure to enact comprehensive immigration reform," and did not overstep the state's authority to regulate immigration. Earlier this week, the Ninth Circuit heard oral arguments [JURIST report] on Arizona's more recent controversial immigration law [SB 1070 materials; JURIST news archive]. The state's representatives argued that Arizona is on the front line of human and drug trafficking from Mexico, and the law is meant to assist with the enforcement and implementation of federal immigration law when the federal government is either "unable or unwilling to solve the problem. The federal government cautioned that allowing states to create immigration policy could create a patchwork system and potentially harm foreign relations.
In 2008, Colom vetoed a similar bill [JURIST report]] that would have restored the country's death penalty. Decree 06-2008 [AI backgrounder] would also have given Colom the power to decide whether to grant clemency and commute the sentences of the 34 inmates currently on death row to 50 years in prison, or to order their executions to take place. In vetoing the measure Colom said cases in the US showed that the death penalty did not deter crime and that strengthening security institutions was the best way to fight crime in Guatemala. Last month, protesters across the globe marked the 8th World Day against the Death Penalty [JURIST report], specifically urging the US, Iran and China to end the death penalty.

Is Google King Of The Web? Analysts Disagree
The Internet's ruling triumvirate has a big week: Yahoo! reports quarterly earnings Tuesday, eBay reports on Wednesday and Google on Thursday. What should cyber-stock investors expect? Mark Mahaney, Citigroup's Internet research director, and Scott Kessler, the director of Standard & Poor's information technology research group, gave "Morning Call" their views.
According to Mahaney, many Web stocks are undervalued. He says there could be at least 10% upside for eBay and Yahoo! stocks. But the "most interesting" story may be Google: He says the search engine firm could have 20% to 25% upside. Google shares are currently trading close to its growth rate -- at roughly the same "entry point" as eBay last year.
One stock to possibly avoid: the "overvalued" Amazon.com, Mahaney says.
Kessler agrees that Google has "a lot of good things going for them" -- but fears trouble from certain "issues," including massive stock option expenses and questions surrounding Google's YouTube and "other content." Kessler's price target for Google is $525, as compared with Mahaney's $600 target.

civil rights
I spent years romanticizing the history of civil rights before it occurred to me that I am continuing the legacy of that movement.
Joe is doing the right thing, and he's getting on the right side of history here. By coming out publicly in support of trans rights, he's sending a clear message, just as he did when he supported same-sex marriage.

A flying cruise ship
Harley L. Sachs
Most Americans who remember the dirigible think only of the spectacular crash of the Hindenberg at Lakehurst, New Jersey in 1937. Some know that the U.S. Navy acquired a couple of other dirigibles which both came to tragic ends.
What you might not realize, however, is that in spite of the spectacular blaze that incinerated the Hindenberg as its hydrogen burned, only 36 of the 97 persons aboard were killed. The film of the disaster made such an impression that dirigible travel ended. Yet, the sinking of the Titanic with a loss of 1,500 lives did not end the era of the ocean liner. And a disaster in the Canary Islands when two jumbo jets collided on the runway did not end jet travel, either. Should the new gigantic jet airbus -- still not in regular service -- crash with 600 people aboard, that might end the Airbus, but not air transportation.

Carbon Dioxide's impact on the seas
Harley L. Sachs
By now we are all familiar with carbon dioxide, CO2, that infamous greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. CO2 is spewed into the atmosphere by coal-fired power plants. Its also in comes from the exhaust of internal combustion engines, like your car, the truck that transports your groceries, the airplanes jetting at 35,000 feet, and your gasoline-powered lawnmower. Even you release carbon dioxide every time you exhale - and so does your cat.

Are you ready for a Second Life?
Harley L. Sachs
An amazing moment in Peter Sellers Being There is when Sellers as Chauncy Gardener emerges from his cloistered residence into a now rough neighborhood. Chauncy has lived a life in front of a television set and carries his remote control. Hes accosted by a couple of black hoodlums. When he doesnt like what he sees in the toughs hes met he tries to change the channel to something else. His clicker doesnt work. He has entered a new reality.

Fishing for almost everyone
Harley L. Sachs
Now that the ice is off the lakes and ice augers and tip-ups are put away for a few months of summer, its time to think about other forms of piscatorial pursuits. Isaak Walton, in his Compleat Angler (the first published treatise on the art of fishing,) never dreamed of the means available today.

The Death of Privacy
Harley L. Sachs
Bruce Schneider, author of Beyond Fear and one of the worlds foremost security experts, spoke at Michigan Technological University recently and his message was chilling. Privacy is dead.
He wasnt merely referring to the surveillance cameras that are everywherein shopping malls, on buses, by ATM machines, at busy intersections and outside government buildings. These have played important parts in tracking down criminals, kidnappers, armed robbers, and people who run red lights. Those are external watchers outside of our control. What Schneider talked about was how we expose ourselves.

Forget global warming. Forget being struck by a giant meteorite. Forget a cataclysmic earthquake or eruption of the Yellowstone volcanic complex. You can even forget al Quaida. The most credible and impending threat to our lives is happening right now. Its the death of bees.

Rights for robots?
Harley L. Sachs
Just what is a robot, anyway? At the most basic level its a mechanism that performs an action on orders from a human operator. In that sense, your toaster is a sort of robot because you set the control and when the toast is ready it pops up. In World War II the strength demanded for the operation of certain controls, such as the wing flaps on a bomber, required a servomechanism. Your power brakes and steering are such servomechanism. So is your cars cruise control, which turns your car into a robot of sorts. Eventually, well have a car that drives itself. Set the GPS destination and the car will take you there; and there are already mechanisms which parallel park some new cars. (We used to have a similar device. It was called a chauffeur.)

Invaders from Mars
Harley L. Sachs
Back in the 1960s, Sir Fred Hoyle, the astronomer whose lucidly written popular books brought an understanding of the universe to the general public, teamed up with an Indian doctor, N. C. Wickramsinghe, with a controversial book, Diseases from Space. In their book the two scientists postulated that certain viruses from space had infected the human population. Their theory was called Panspermia, the idea that life on earth is a transplant from outer space.
As examples they pointed out how totally isolated arctic communities not visited by humans or even by birds had been mysteriously infected with a virus that could have come from nowhere else but outer space. The claim was that viruses of a certain size could survive entry through the protective shields afforded by the upper atmosphere. Certain respiratory diseases, they claimed, were a form of space invader.
Other scientists debunked Diseases from Space, and Hoyles reputation as a serious scientist was tarnished.

Airline of the future
Harley L. Sachs
In spite of all the talk and alarm about greenhouse gasses and global warming, theres almost no mention of the impact of high flying jet aircraft on the atmosphere. As we saw so vividly during the 9-11 hijackings, at any given moment there are hundreds, even thousands of planes in the air over the United States. Their exhausts are spewed out at high altitudes where they do the most damage to the ozone layer. If those emissions could be substantially reduced, it would make a big difference.

Shopping made a Turkey out of me
Harley L. Sachs
Dont let anyone tell you that grocery shopping in America is boring. At holiday time, Thanksgiving and Christmas, grocery stores in the United States offer special deals. Cranberry sauce is suddenly cheap. Sweet potatoes, a staple on the menu, are also pullers. Then theres the promise of a reduced price or even free turkey. This can be an adventure.
The store whose coupon we pursued offered three different deals. If we spent $25, our holiday turkey would be 49 cents a pound. If we spent $50 the price would drop to 39 cents a pound. If we spent $100 the bird would be free.
We had no intentions of going for a free turkey. We live in a studio apartment with a small refrigerator. A typical holiday giant frozen turkey would not fit in the freezer compartment. With only two of us to eat it, a whole turkey would last for weeks. At least, after several meals followed by turkey fricassee and even turkey soup, we would be satiated on turkey for a whole year.

A bomb anyone?
Harley L. Sachs
At the height of the Cold War arms race between the United States and Soviet Union (USSR) there was a well-understood reality called MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction. For anyone who fired a nuclear missile, whether from the USSR or the USA, it was well understood that retaliation would obliterate the attacker.

Truth or Hoax...Disappearence of F89
Harley L. Sachs
Late on November 23, 1953 radar from Kinross airbase detected an unidentified flying object over Lake Superior. An F89 jet fighter with a crew of two, pilot Felix Moncla and radar observer Robert Wilson, were dispatched to investigate. At one point the radar images of the plane and the object appeared to merge and then they disappeared. What happened to the plane and the object it was sent to investigate has been a closely guarded secret for over 50 years.

SPACE: The final hotel frontier
Harley L. Sachs
So youve been there and done that? Seen and done everything and have the dough to say the skys the limit on your next vacation? How about space?
While NASA struggles to complete a space station with what remains of its 20-year-old shuttle fleet, private investors are forging ahead with their own money. Its a strange partnership: American and British entrepreneurs have teamed up with Russia to convert some of those menacing ICBMs, left over from the cold war, to civilian use.
On July 12 Bigelow Aerospace, using money from the sale of a chain of U.S. hotels, launched an inflatable space module to test the feasibility of what is to become a tourist attraction for the rich. Bigelow Aerospace, located in Las Vegas, is gambling on a plan to launch a string of sausage-like space modules in five years to accommodate space tourists.

Press two for Spanish
Other Opinions
Harley L. Sachs
The story of the Tower of Babel applies today. The project was an attempt to reach heaven by building a high tower, a plan that failed when God made people all speak different languages. They could no longer work together. For a cohesive society, people must be able to speak the same language.
The Dutch have the right idea. Faced with a troubling influx of immigrants who want the benefits of life in Holland but do not learn Dutch, the country has changed the laws. If you want to stay in Holland and be a citizen you must learn Dutch. To not embrace the language and culture of your adopted land undermines it. We have that problem here.
English is now the official language for the state of Michigan. In the 1900s when this country had a huge influx of foreign immigrants those folks could not wait to learn English. Nobody wanted to be a greenhorn.
My mother was born in London and told us of a visit to an American farm. She asked what they did with all those beans and was told, We eat what we can and what we cant we can. A friend explained, Oh, they put them in tins. Though my mother was English and knew the language, she didnt know American.

The Latest on Global Warming
Harley L. Sachs
The burning of fossil fuels has two main byproducts: carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor. No one knows the effect of water vapor (clouds) on global warming, but the theory was that CO2 is a major contributor. CO2 emissions are the subject of the Kyoto treaty to limit emissions by industrial countries, especially the United States. Current research, however, suggests that basis may be false.
For several years the theory has been that increasing CO2 as the result of the burning of fossil fuels is warming up the earth. Turns out that assumption was a computer error. The latest conference in Montreal on climate change concludes that even a 400 percent increase in CO2 emissions will have such a small impact on world temperature that it can hardly be measured accurately. Oops. So what actually is warming up the earth?
