Over the last few years, many individuals (myself included) have
been feeling anger about levels of executive compensation,
particularly against those in the financial sector. Bankers seem to
be paying themselves exorbitant wads of cash, both in their
salaries and bonuses. In their defence, the bankers claim that such
extravagant wages are essential to motivate them, and that without
such motivation they would just go and find a job somewhere else.
There is an assumption that more money is more motivating and that
we can improve job performance by paying people more, either in
terms of a base salary or as performance-based bonuses. But is this
the best way to compensate people and drive them to be the best
that they can be? Continue reading
I spend a lot of time in Derbyshire. I was born there. To
southerners it tends to mean the Peak District and clambering about
on hills, but to me it's a county of engineering. Derby, when I
grew up, was divided between people who built trains at British
Rail and people who built aero-engines at Rolls-Royce. The twin
highlights of the year were the respective open days when you'd get
a glimpse of the Advanced Passenger Train at BR and watch Royces
chucking frozen chickens at engines to simulate bird strikes.
If we ever drove into the countryside it'd be up through the
Derwent Valley, past scores of abandoned mills -- dark, brooding
and enormous. These mills were the first factories. This was where
the industrial revolution started -- as technologies such as water
power and cotton-spinning were networked together with specially
recruited and housed workforces. Continue reading
There is a simple secret underlying how it is that apes like us
came to have language and music. And although it's long been a
mystery to us, it would be obvious to a fish on a terrestrial
expedition to observe us: "One is immediately struck by how much of
the naked ape's day is spent producing and absorbing the sights and
sounds of terrestrial habitats," it would say. "They communicate
via drawings of opaque objects and via the sounds of solid-object
events. And for the purposes of what appears to be entertainment
they create and listen to the sounds of people swimming -- ahem, I
mean walking -- about." Continue reading
The words "transmedia" and "multiplatform" are holding back the
development of cool storytelling and interactive content. They are
lexical kludges, attempting to describe products using the inherent
operational characteristics of broadcast media.
Right from the birth of broadcasting, the word "programme" was
used to describe the service audiences were getting. It perfectly
describes a curated sequence of elements occupying a section of
time. The word "programme" described the relationship between these
elements: they belonged to the same set, but didn't affect one
another; the relationship was linear, exclusive and temporal. Tune
in or miss out. Continue reading
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics to
inanimate objects. Lately, I've noticed an increasing tendency
towards pragmamorphism, my name for the naïve materialism involved
in attributing to humans the properties of inanimate things.
You'd think physicists would see everything in material terms,
but it's biologists and neuroscientists who seem to gravitate to
that view. Richard Dawkins, the biologist and evangelical atheist,
wrote in the Los Angeles Times about the scientific "vandalism"
involved in hanging Saddam Hussein: "His mind would have been a
unique resource for historical, political and psychological
research, a resource that is now forever unavailable to scholars."
Fellow neuroscientist Sam Harris argues for a scientific approach
to moral questions, a contradictorily moral stance itself. Another
neuroscientist, David Eagleman, wrote: "If we desire our medical
treatments to be biologically informed, shouldn't we demand the
same from our courtrooms?" Continue reading

From the unrestrained passion and angst singer Adam Gountier wraps around every syllable on "Life Starts Now," the first record from Three Days Grace in over three years, it's clear the band's time away from the spotlight was put to good use.
The album doesn't go as nail-bitingly deep as some of their past work but still has its share of above average songs. The tracks are sequenced excellently, unraveling in clipped, fast-moving fashion.
Lead single "Break," which crashed into the Hot 100 at no. 91 and is receiving regular rotation on rock stations, is actually one of the non-highlights with its subpar lyrics, at least in comparison to the better tracks like thoroughly awesome opener "Bitter Taste," which rocks, sways and affects deeply. Gountier sounds righteous and absolutely compelling as he sings the words of contempt ("Your name, your face is all you have left now. Betrayed, disgraced, you've been erased.") and cleansing ("I have escaped the bitter taste of you.")
"Lost in You" could rack up some major radio play if it becomes a single, and while its song structure and lyrics are a little trite and predictable they come off as genuine. The same goes for "Someone Who Cares" and "Without You," which are supported by some of the best playing on the album. The results are smooth and precise but still compelling.
"World So Cold" is memorable with its particularly impressive chorus and Neil Sanderson's spot-on drumming, and the terrific "No More" also haunts with an awesome riffs that mark the beginning of the song, even if the song longs for a more restrained, quiet vocal performance than Gountier delivers. "Last to Know" is everything a late-2000s alt-rock ballad ought to be with plaintive, hearttugging, hurt, angry vocals and another melody that immediately grabs. It begs for attention and is designed to hit the listener in all the right places.
The album begins to fizzle down in quality toward the end, with fewer tracks calling attention to themselves, but "Life Goes On" definitely has some solid moments that show Three Days Grace in fine form.

Before the onslaught of performance enhancing things, cheating used to be so much more fun. Because of baseball's hard line stance against these performance enhancing things, we are forced to look at long standing folksy forms of cheating in a new light.
Two of the more famous (and fun) folksy forms of cheating (corking and the juiced ball) are profiled in an article at Smithsonian.com. Alan Nathan, a professor emeritus of physics at the University of Illinois, elaborates:
This is not really a new assertion, but the research is fun (for lack of a more inspiring word). There has always been a sort of stigma with the corked bat, but the vitriol came with a wink and a nod. The player in question was just doing what he needed to do to help his team win. After similarly rigorous testing, Nathan came to much the same conclusion with regard to the idea of the juiced ball:
"There was some anecdotal information from players that there's something like a 'trampoline effect' when the ball bounces off a corked bat," says Nathan, one of the authors of the new study. So the researchers hollowed out a bat, stuffed it with bits of cork and fired a ball at the bat from a cannon. If anything, the ball came off the corked bat with a slower speed than off a normal bat. Less velocity means a shorter hit. Their conclusion: the trampoline effect was bogus.
To test the speculation that something had changed with the balls, the researchers compared the bounciness of balls from 2004 with a box of unused balls from 1976 to 1980. They shot the balls at a steel plate or a wooden bat at 60, 90, and 120 miles per hour and measured their bounciness after a collision—what physicists call the coefficient of restitution.
The result? "There was no evidence that there was any difference in the coefficient of restitution of the different balls," says Nathan.
The research, while far from perfect, tells us what we sort of already knew: these things really don't matter much. In reality, bumps and dumps in offensive production are generally the combination of a myriad of different elements: cleaner, better treated baseballs in the twenties and thirties, the trickle (and subsequent pour) of an entire subset once banned from competition, strength, diet, varying interpretations of the strike zone, amphetamines, Lasik, performance enhancing things, Tommy John, the raised mound, the ionic titanium necklace... some things can be measured, while others are mere feathers in trunks used to give rest, build confidence, or place blame when things happen that we don't really understand.
All I know is that there was a time in little league when we decided to put the corked bat theory to the test. I went down to the local Thrifty Drug Store with two friends. The season was in full swing. We had a roll of quarters. I remember buying an ice cream while one of my friends pumped the quarters into a machine that held several dozen brightly colored bouncy balls.
We left with our pockets full. My friend's younger brother launched one of the balls across a busy street. We ran and screamed things at him. We swore a car stopped. It freaked us out. The ball bounced and ricocheted with reckless abandon. When we got back to my house, we began breaking the bouncy balls up with a hammer and a screwdriver. We took the chunks and filled the hollow inside of an old Easton. The bat was silver with green writing. I still have it. We bring it to bachelor parties and use it as a chalice.
We took the bat to practice the next day. The top popped off on the first swing and the insides spilled onto the field. We all laughed. The whole process was a little insane, but good in the grand scheme of all things associated with being a kid and playing baseball. We, too, wanted to be flawed.

LUBBOCK, Texas -- It took some grinding, but the Iowa State Cyclones stayed undefeated.
The Cyclones saw their 15-point halftime lead over Texas Tech completely evaporate, but Monte Morris made a three-point play right when Iowa State needed it and the Red Raiders never took the lead.
Iowa State won its 13th straight game, 73-62, on Saturday at the United Spirit Arena.
"I will say one of the hardest things to do in sports is to stop a momentum run, and we found a way to do it and reverse it and finish out the game," coach Fred Hoiberg of Iowa State said.
"We allowed them an opportunity to get in the game. Texas Tech turned into the aggressive team that we had controlled for the first 20 minutes."
Melvin Ejim followed Morris' three-point play with a 3-pointer and Naz Long made a layup to help 13th-ranked Iowa State respond to Texas Tech's run with an 8-0 surge.
Iowa State (13-0, 1-0 in the Big 12) avenged a 56-51 loss at Texas Tech last season.
George Niang led Iowa State with 17 points, Ejim had 16 points and DeAndre Kane added 15. Morris came off the bench to score 11.
Jay Crocket scored a game-high 20 and grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds for Texas Tech.
Texas Tech erased a 15-point halftime deficit with a run ignited by Jordan Tolbert's 3-pointer to start the scoring in the second half for the Red Raiders.
Jay Crockett led Texas Tech with 10 points during a 21-6 surge that helped the Red Raiders (8-6, 0-1) tie the game, 50-50.
"We let some things bother us tonight we had not been doing," said Hoiberg, who though the Cyclones became a little flustered. "We missed a couple of easy ones and I thought our body language changed a little bit.
"But we found a way and I give my bench a lot of credit to get those guys to get back in it and find a way finish."
Iowa State finished the first half on a 15-5 run, capped by Matt Thomas' 3-pointer from the top of the arc. Niang and Kane each contributed four points to the surge that helped the Cyclones lead, 44-29, at halftime.
Niang finished the first half with 11 points and four assists, as he keyed the Iowa State offense in being a step quicker than Texas Tech's defense.
Iowa State shot 51.9 percent from the field in the first half, including four 3-pointers. Thomas hit two from beyond the arc, and Niang and Ejim each added one.
Meanwhile, Texas Tech showed why it has been a perennial bottom-dweller for several seasons in the Big 12. The Red Raiders committed eight turnovers and none of the Red Raider starters scored more than six points in the first 20 minutes.
Dusty Hannahs came off the bench to lead Texas Tech with eight points in the first half and finished with 16.
"We feel like we can play with anybody, but just little errors is the fine line between winning and you can't make the mistakes," Hannahs said.
"We've gotten a lot better at toning down our mistakes and turnovers but we've still got room for improvement."
But Tolbert, Texas Tech's second-leading scorer, had only four points in the first half, missed two free throws and was way off the mark on a 3-pointer.NOTES: Iowa State entered Big 12 play with an undefeated record for the first time since the conference began play in the 1996-97 season. It was the first time the Cyclones started conference play with an unblemished record since the 1956-57 season. ... Iowa State needed a win over Texas Tech to tie a school record with its 13th consecutive victory. The record of 13 straight was set by the 1999-2000 Cyclones. ... Texas Tech began conference play with a new head coach for the third consecutive season. Tubby Smith took over the program before the beginning of this season, replacing interim coach Chris Walker, who replaced Billy Gillespie after Gillespie's only season in 2011-12.

The apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh), is a native insect widely distributed from North Dakota to Oklahoma and eastward. It is a major pest of homegrown apples in Ohio and, occasionally, is damaging in commercial orchards when certain insecticides are omitted. Hawthorn, plum, pear, crab apple, and cherry may serve as alternate hosts.
|Apple Maggot
The adult fly is a little more than 6 mm in length, dark brown, with light and dark markings on the wings. The larvae are white, tapered maggots. Female flies lay eggs just under the skin of the apple. The larvae, or maggots, which hatch from the eggs, tunnel at random throughout the flesh of the fruit, usually avoiding the core. External signs of maggot infestation are the minute brownish egg punctures in the skin. These are often small, distorted or pitted areas on the surface of the apple, and sometimes a white wax covers the puncture. In early-maturing apple varieties, small tunnels occur throughout the flesh and under the skin through which the trails of the larvae may be visible.
Rapid decay and browning along the trails in infested fruit occur as the maggots feed. In late-maturing apples, there are less distinct external signs of infestation, but the flesh may contain small corky spots and discolored trails or streaks.
In Ohio, the apple maggot overwinters as a pupa in the soil. Adult flies begin emerging from their pupae in late June, continuing for a month or more. The peak emergence occurs from late July to early August, but some adults emerge in September.
When flies emerge, they usually spend about 10 to 14 days flying from tree to tree. During this period, the adults mate and females feed by lapping up moisture from the surface of leaves and fruits. Then they begin laying eggs.
The female has a needle-sharp egg-laying structure (ovipositor) at the tip of her abdomen that enables her to puncture the skin of the fruit. Each female is capable of depositing an average of 200 eggs. Eggs hatch in a few days, and the small, legless, white maggots immediately start to burrow through the flesh of the fruit. This burrowing often causes premature dropping of the fruit. Infested fruits have very little (if any) market value.
The maggots feed by tearing open cells in the apple flesh with a pair of black mouth hooks. They then absorb the cell juices. If the fruit is near maturity, growth is rapid and the larvae become fully grown and leave the fruit in 8 to 12 days. However, if eggs are laid in firm, immature fruit or in winter apple varieties, growth is much slower and many maggots may die due to the hardness of the fruit. If apples fall to the ground, the number of surviving larvae is larger.
The maggot leaves through a small opening made in the side of the fruit and enters the soil. Maggots usually settle in the top 1 to 3 inches of soil. The maggot transforms into a brown, hard, oval puparium within which the true pupa is formed. Some of the first brood pupae transform to adults and emerge in late August and September. However, the majority remain in the soil through two winters before appearing as adult flies.
|Puparium and Larva
Few maggots leave the fruits while they are still hanging on the trees. Usually a few days elapse between the time an apple maggot-infested apple falls to the ground and the maggots leave it.
Dropped fruits of early varieties should be collected two to three times a week and those of later varieties at least once a week. Collected fruits should be put in a tightly sealed plastic bag and placed in a garbage can. In addition, the removal of hawthorn or other alternate hosts in the vicinity is a good practice.
As mentioned, maggots leave the fruit that has fallen to the ground, burrow into the soil and change to the pupa stage. Therefore, an insecticide applied to the ground around the trees should aid in killing apple maggots. The timing of the application must be around July 1-15.
Newly emerged female flies feed for a short time before they deposit their eggs. The flies obtain moisture by lapping up water droplets that collect on the fruits and leaves.
You can take advantage of this feeding habit to eliminate the females before they lay eggs. If you can apply an insecticide spray to the trees, at the right time, the flies will be killed as they feed on the toxic water and before they can harm the fruit. Spraying is the most reliable method of reducing maggot injury to apples. The use of an all-purpose fruit spray mixture plus the insecticides phosmet (Imidan) or carbaryl (Sevin 50 WP) should produce a spray that will adequately control the flies. Sprays for maggots should be applied in late June, mid-July, late July, and again in mid-August.
For more detailed information on apple maggot and other fruit pests, obtain a copy of Bulletin L-1, "Backyard Fruit Sprays for Insects and Diseases," or Bulletin #506A, entitled "Commercial Tree Fruit Spray Guide," from your county Extension agent.
When using an insecticide on edible fruits, a period of time must be observed when no spray is applied to prevent excessive residues of the insecticide on the harvested fruit. Examine your pesticide label to determine these day limitations.

text:
India's former Prime Minister, the late Mr Morarji Desai, strictly followed an unwritten principle. He would not inaugurate any conference, whether national or international, which did not focus on rural development. It so happened that it was during his tenure that the aircraft industry had planned a conference in New Delhi. For the aircraft industry, the inauguration of the international conference by anyone other than the Prime Minister was not palatable and for obvious reasons.
Knowing well that the Prime Minister would not make an exception, the aircraft industry came out with an imaginative title for the conference: "Aerodynamics and rural development"!
The global community – market forces and its supporters – too are following Morarji Desai's prescription. Agricultural biotechnology advances are being desperately promoted in the name of eradicating hunger and poverty. The misguided belief that the biotechnological silver bullet can "solve" hunger, malnutrition and real poverty has prompted the industry and the development community, political masters and the policy makers, agricultural scientists and the economists to chant the mantra of "harnessing technology to address specific problems facing poor people" And in the bargain, what is being very conveniently overlooked is the fact that what the world's 840 million hungry need is just food, which is abundantly available.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) annual Human Development Report 2001, entitled "Making New Technologies Work for Human Development" is yet another biotechnology industry-sponsored study that categorically mentions on the one hand that "technology is created in response to market pressures – not the needs of poor people, who have little purchasing power," and yet, goes on unabashedly to eulogies the virtues of an untested technology in the laboratories of the North, which are being pushed onto the gullible resource-poor communities of the South and that too in the name of eradicating hunger and poverty.
The report states that emerging centres of excellence throughout the developing world are already providing hard evidence of the potential for harnessing cutting-edge science and technology (as biotechnology is fondly called) to tackle centuries-old problems of human poverty. But what the report does not mention is the fact that the biggest challenge facing the global community is increasing hunger and poverty in the developing countries, which need to be tackled by a social and political commitment rather than a market-driven technological agenda.
To say "if the developing community turns its back on the explosion of technological innovation in food, medicine and information, it risks marginalising itself." is in reality a desperate effort to ensure that the American economic interests are not sacrificed at the altar of development. Such is the growing desperation at the growing isolation of the United States in the global food market because of its "transgenic' food that all kinds of permutations and combinations, including increased food aid to Africa's school-going children, are being attempted. The deft manipulation of the prestigious UNDP's Human Development Report (HDR) to push forth the American farm interests, however, will cast an ominous shadow over the credibility of the future UN programmes for human development.
In agriculture, the HDR cites plant breeding promises to generate higher yields and resistance to drought, pests and diseases. Biotechnology offers the only or the best 'tool of choice' for marginal ecological zones – left behind by the green revolution but home to more than half the world's poorest people, dependent on agriculture and livestock. It is true that green revolution left behind the small and marginal farmers living in some of the world's most inhospitable areas. But the way the tools of the cutting-edge technology are being applied and are being blindly promoted, biotechnology will certainly bypass the world's hungry and marginalised.
A third of the world's hungry and marginalised live in India. And if India alone were to launch a frontal attack on poverty eradication and feeding its 320 million hungry, much of the world's hunger problem would be resolved.
Never before in contemporary history has the mankind been witness to such a glaring and shameful 'paradox of plenty'. In India alone, more than 60 million tonnes of foodgrains are stacked, bulk of it in the open, while some 320 million go to bed hungry every night. In neighbouring Bangladesh and Pakistan too, food silos are bursting. And yet, these three countries are home to nearly half the world's population of hungry and the marginalised. While none of these countries has shown the political courage to use the mountains of foodgrain surplus to address the age-old problem of hunger, the international scientific and development community too is equally guilty by turning a blind eye to the biggest human folly of the 21st century.
After all, science and technology is aimed at removing hunger. The green revolution was aimed at addressing the problem of hunger, and did a remarkable job within its limitation. And now, when we have stockpiles of food surpluses, the global community appears reluctant to make the food available to the marginalised communities who cannot afford to buy the rotting stocks. No aid agency, including the so-called philanthropic ones: Ford, Rockefeller, ActionAid, Christian Aid, Oxfam, British BFID and the likes are willing to take the bull by the horn. The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), which works for reducing hunger, too has shied away from this Herculean task. It has instead convened a meeting of the Heads of State at Rome in November, five years after the World Food Summit, to reiterate its promise of halving world's hunger by the year 2015.
The reality of hunger and malnutrition is too harsh to be even properly understood. Hunger cannot be removed by producing transgenic crops with genes for Vitamin A. Hunger cannot be addressed by providing mobile phones to the rural communities. Nor can it be eradicated by providing the poor and hungry with an 'informed choice' of novel foods. Somehow, the authors of the HDR have missed the ground realities, missed the realities from the commercial interests of the biotechnology industries. In their over-enthusiasm to promote an expensive technology at the cost of the poor, they have forgotten that biotechnology has the potential to further the great divide between the haves and have-nots. No policy directive can help in bridging this monumental gap. The twin engines of economic growth – the technological revolution and globalisation – will only widen the existing gap. Biotechnology will, in reality, push more people in the hunger trap. With public attention and resources being diverted from the ground realities, hunger will only grow in the years to come.
It does not, however, mean that this writer is against technology. The wheels of technological development are essential for every society but have to be used in a way that helps promote human development. Technology cannot be blindly promoted, as the UNDP report does, in an obvious effort to bolster the industry's interests. Ignoring food security in the name of ensuring 'profit security' for the private companies, can further marginalise the gains, if any. And herein lies a grave danger.
While the political leadership and the development community is postponing till the year 2015 the task to halve the number of the world's hungry, the scientific community too has found an easy escape route. At almost all the genetic engineering laboratories, whether in the North or in the South, the focus of research is on crops which will produce edible vaccines, address the problems of malnutrition or 'hidden hunger' by incorporating genes for Vit A, iron, and other micro-nutrients. But what is not being realised is that if the global scientific and development community were to aim at eradicating hunger at the first place, there would be no 'hidden hunger'.
Take, for instance, the much-touted 'golden rice', the rice which contains the genes for Vit A. It is true that there are 12 million people in India alone who suffer from Vit A deficiency. To say that 'golden rice' would provide the poor with a choice of such 'novel foods' is to ignore the realities. It is also known that almost the entire Vit A deficient population in India lives in marginalised areas and comprise people who cannot or who do not have access to two square meals a day. If only these hungry people were to get their adequate dietary intake or the two square meals a day, they would not suffer from Vit A deficiency or for that matter any other micro-nutrient deficiency. If these poor people cannot afford to buy their normal dietary requirement of rice for a day, how do we propose to make available 'golden rice' to them is something that has been deliberately left unanswered.
And this reminds me of what exactly another former Indian Prime Minister, the late Mrs Indira Gandhi, used to do when it came to addressing problems. If the ethnic crisis confronting the northeast Indian State of Assam becomes unmanageable and goes out of her hands, she would create another problem in northwestern Punjab. In simple words, the national attention gets diverted to the fresh crisis confronting Punjab, and the country would forget Assam. And when terrorism in Punjab goes out control, create another problem in down south, in Tamil Nadu. And slowly, people would forget about Punjab. For political leaders, Mrs Gandhi's proven mantra does provide an easy escape route. And this is exactly what they intend to do when the Heads of State of 170-odd countries would gather at the World Food Summit Plus Five in Rome in November.
Scientists, development agencies and the policy makers (and now of course the United Nations) too seem to have derived their futuristic vision from the political sagacity of Mrs Indira Gandhi. After all, the only way to divert the attention of international community from the more pressing and immediate problems of abject hunger and poverty is to either postpone the priorities for removal of hunger (and that too by only a half) to the year 2015 as the FAO has done or is to talk of the virtues and potentials of biotechnology for eradicating 'hidden hunger' and malnutrition in the next two decades.
Who will take on the biggest challenge of all times – the elimination of hunger – which forms the root cause of real poverty and the lopsided human development is an issue no one is willing to stick his neck out for. With even the UNDP buckling under industrial pressure, the monumental task to feed the hungry – and that too at a time when food grains are rotting – may eventually be left to the market forces. The underlying message is very clear: the poor and hungry will have to live on hope. #

State Rep Candidate Says He Doesn't Live in Barn
House District 50 candidate Charles Williamson has told Metro Codes that he's dropping his attempt to use a Goodlettsville barn as a qualification for his residence in the district after city officials told him he couldn't legally live there without making major changes, reports Chas Sisk.
In a letter dated Sept. 19 and obtained by The Tennessean through a public records request, Williamson said he has moved from the barn property, at 2360 Baker Road, and doesn't "have any intention to use this building as my residence." While the Republican candidate recently bought a home elsewhere in the district, he continues to own a much more expensive home on the other side of town, raising questions about where he really lives.
"My opponent seems to be looking for a place to call home," said Metro Councilman Bo Mitchell, the Democratic nominee for the District 50 seat. "When he's going door to door in Bellevue, he's from Bellevue. When he's going door to door in Goodlettsville, he's from Goodlettsville."
The Tennessean reported in July that no occupancy permit had been issued for Williamson's Baker Road property, which he listed as his residence when he registered to vote and when he filed his candidate qualifying petition earlier this year.
Williamson subsequently applied for an occupancy permit, but the renovated barn is at least partially in what Metro Water Services categorizes as an unstudied flood zone. That means a surveyor needs to determine if the barn is at least four feet above flood levels before a permit can be issued. Williamson also would have had to install an expanded septic system to obtain the Metro Public Health Department's approval for a residence.
"It really was just too great of a distraction while trying to run a campaign," said Claire Ratliff, Williamson's campaign manager.

Pedestrian killed crossing California Street

Goodness, this happens a lot in MV.
I used to live in that neighbourhood and crossed that same intersection twice a day. I waited until there were no cars in any direction but that often meant I would wait for up to a few minutes.
on Sep 17, 2012 at 1:14 pm
The problem with California Street is that it is so wide, you cannot possibly wait until there are no cars in either direction. A car might be 2 or 3 blocks away and still get to you before you finish crossing the street. If the city is not willing to put up red lights at every single street corner, they need to reduce the street width so that pedestrians can cross in a shorter amount of time.
on Sep 17, 2012 at 1:34 pm
How about using the crosswalk at the intersection with the new stop light. That is what it is there for. Oh, that extra block walk might save your life. This roadway is not too wide. Pedestrians and bicyclist should be always look both ways before crossing and at night don't assume that the driver can see you. Just a safety tip. I am sorry for the family that has to deal with this. It is unfortunate.

Publication: The Day
Groton - Three of the first female submariners are being taken off their boats to face allegations of financial misconduct.
The alleged travel claim fraud occurred before the women, who are supply officers, reported to their submarines, according to Cmdr. Monica Rousselow, spokeswoman for the commander of the submarine force.
Their reassignments are part of an ongoing investigation, she said Friday.
"The integration of women on submarines will be minimally impacted," she said. "Overall, the process has gone smoothly with positive results."
Rousselow said that other Navy personnel are involved in the alleged misconduct but they are not assigned to submarines, and she could not say how many there are.
The three women are being temporarily reassigned to Submarine Group 10 in Kings Bay, Ga.
Rousselow said the submarine force is looking at the different options for replacing the women on the three submarine crews.
The Navy officially lifted its ban of women on submarines in 2010 and began preparing to bring female officers aboard ballistic-missile and guided-missile submarines.

The Canadian military is getting set to conduct drills which are designed to train military personal in "domestic operations" for urban civilian populations. The drills are set to take place in Hawkesbury Ontario from Septemeber 12th to the 16th! More and more training operations like this have been occurring all over the world as TPTB are preparing for the possibility of a massive revolution in the face of the global awakening that is currently taking place.

@ Mike… We all know the Military does "training exercises" and yeah, they even do the odd "dog and pony show" for the public.. I don't think anyone has a problem with that. The concern obviously stems from the TYPE of training and the PURPOSE of that training we can see happening over the last few years.
There has been many recent reports out of the United States showing American Military participating in joint Police operations, policing American citizens which you probably know is in legal contradiction with the Posse Comitatus Act. We are quickly seeing Canada following in the footsteps of our American neighbours, so it is of no surprise to hear that the Canadian Military is getting set to conduct drills which are designed to train Military personal in "domestic operations" for urban civilian populations.
I've had a chance to visit a few countries that utilize the Military to police the citizens. Those countries are great places to visit if you're the lucky stiff that gets to lay around at a resort all day. Living amongst it however, just wreaks of a 3rd World, Banana Republic. A lower standard of living/quality of life, a society 'walking on eggshells'.. it's nothing pretty and certainly nothing to be proud of. I'm always happy after a visit in places like this despite the many beautiful sights, to return home to Canada.
We have something special here, you know it and I know it.. let us all do what we can to insure it stays this way!
No Banana Republic For Canada!! :-)
Good stuff, I enjoyed your insight. You have a handle on whats up or for lack of words, whats coming down. Chris Hedges latest interview on the infowars featured stories is a good rundown for the uninformed. I feel many people in the public forum believe such things as agenda 21 and military intervention on public civilians is for the good of the people. However history has proven this not to be so. Write your Pri minister write your premier or congress or whomever. I know this saying is as old as the hills, but bad people prosper when decent people do nothing.
I'm sorry, but you are an idiot. Dont confuse poor folks who cant do some research for themselves..
Those "Tampa military excerises" were actually Special forces competition between different countries. It was VERY public, as you can see there are bunch of civilians watching it. They even had speakers announcing what will happen next. It was pretty much a show for the people..
"Police are for the people and military is to fight an enemy".. Well Military is fighting the enemy FOR THE PEOPLE (sometimes just the rich 1% of the people).. and police are for the people to fight their LOCAL ENEMY (robbers and rapists, etc..) Why do you think SWAT has similar or even better equipment than the military? To fight those local highly armed enemies.. So whats your problem?
Military excerise is next to Montreal probably to practice for Quebec trying to separate from Canada..
the Mark of the Beast is about to be announced?

By Cynthia McCloudFor The State Journal
A discount card sponsored by the city of Clarksburg may save West Virginians a few dollars on prescription drugs, but some say it hurts the bottom line of independent pharmacists who aren't reimbursed for the markdowns.
Clarksburg was among the first cities in the nation to promote the Prescription Drug Discount Card, administered by the pharmacy benefit manager CVS Caremark, when the card came out in 2008.
Today, according to Clarksburg City Manager Martin Howe, 638 cities are participating through their affiliations with the National League of Cities. About 50 pharmacies within a 20-mile radius of Clarksburg are set up to accept the card, he said.
"Pharmacies are not reimbursed for the discounts," Howe said. "They voluntarily agree to participate in the discount card program because they recognize the value that the program brings in terms of customer loyalty and increased traffic in the store where consumers often buy other products when using the discount card. Many small pharmacies believe it enables them to compete with the national chain stores.
"In addition, persons using the discount card represent only a small percentage of a pharmacy's prescription business (approximately 15 percent)," he said. "Most prescriptions are filled under an insurance plan where the pharmacy and the insurance provider have negotiated a discount price (after the consumer pays a small co-pay)."
Saving thousands of dollars
The cards are free to obtain — they can even be printed from the city's website, www.cityofclarksburgwv.com. A person does not have to be a Clarksburg resident to get and use the card.
They are intended for people who do not have insurance or whose pharmaceutical plans don't cover certain prescriptions, such as lifestyle drugs for hair restoration and contraceptives. It can also be used to purchase pet medications, Howe said.
The card keeps someone from paying the full retail price of a medication. The NLC says the discount can be as much as 75 percent.
"The average savings is 20-25 percent, depending on the type of drug you're buying," Howe said.
Clarksburg is ranked second in the nation — behind Detroit — for dollars saved on the program, Howe said.
"Since Clarksburg began this program in December 2008 more than 40,000 prescriptions have been filled with a 34 percent in average savings," Howe wrote in a report on the program to Clarksburg City Council earlier this fall. "The total 9,910 users have saved $617,518.61 by participating in the Prescription Discount Card Program."
As of Sept. 30, the cards had been used this year by 744 people filling 2,992 prescriptions with a savings of $62,070.57, Howe said.
There are more than 65,000 retail chains and pharmacies nationwide that accept the card, he said.
Some of those pharmacies do so grudgingly, according to an independent pharmacist in Harrison County who objects to the cards. The pharmacist refused to be quoted and referred questions to Pharmacists United for Truth and Transparency. PUTT is a nonprofit group of independent pharmacists that formed three years ago to educate the public about the ways PBMs manipulate prices, such as mail-order services, spread pricing markups and rebate retention.
'A bad deal for the consumer'
PUTT President Jason Wallace is an independent pharmacist who owns a group of stores in Kentucky.
Wallace spoke about prescription drug discount cards in general and didn't mention a specific one.
"Discount cards, in general, are a bad deal for the consumer in a number of ways," Wallace said. "An independent pharmacist's internal store pricing structure is probably better than the discount card can provide."
The cash-paying customer presenting a discount card agrees to pay the entire cost, less any discount.
For example, the independent pharmacist's price on a popular cholesterol drug is $25 for a 90-day supply, which may be cheaper if the customer paid cash without showing the card.
The card issuers do not reimburse pharmacists for the discounts. And worse, "the really egregious cards charge us a fee on the back end to process the claim," Wallace said.
The PBM gets a rebate when the card is used. But the only benefit to Clarksburg is goodwill, Howe said.
Shared personal information
Howe said there are no enrollment forms, so no personal information is collected in exchange for the card, but Wallace said a cardholder's personal information is shared when the pharmacy processes the claim.
He said a consumer should question why the cards are free.
"What's in it for the card processor is they now know your full name, date of birth, Social Security number, allergies, all the medications you're taking. They know your phone number and email address if that's loaded into the system," Wallace said. "They take that information and sell it to third-party buyers."
Those buyers then contact customers to sell them other products.
Howe disagreed.
"Caremark does not collect personal information beyond what is lawful under HIPAA and does not use any information to contact consumers or in any other way," he said. "Caremark, as a prescription benefit manager for many large insurance companies, does contact consumers, but again this does not apply to Caremark as the administrator of the discount card program.
"In the five years of the program, NLC has not received any formal complaints from any pharmacy anywhere in the country. In the few cases where pharmacies have questioned the program, their questions were resolved to their satisfaction."

There are many versions of the famous rice dish called paella. From the original Valencian version, that includes rabbit and snails, to vegetarian and seafood paella (paella de marisco) to paella mixta, which is a mix of chicken, meat, and shellfish, and is probably the most popular paella on Spanish beaches.
This step-by-step guides you through the basics of preparing a perfect paella, regardless of what kind it is.
Before beginning preparations, it's important to ask, "How many people will be eating?" Once you answer that, you can decide what size and type kind of pan is needed.
The Paella Pan
Paella pans, sometimes called paelleras are made especially for the job. They are round, open, metal pans, which are approximately 2-2.5 inches deep (5-6 cm). These pans spread the heat and withstand cooking over hot coals. Paella pans can be made of carbon steel, stainless steel or enamel and have two handles. The material, shape and shallow depth of the pans are what make them perfect for cooking rice, which is the focus of the paella.
Paella pans are readily available in sizes from a 9-inch pan that makes 1-2 servings, and costs about $10, all the way to a 45-inch pan that makes 120 servings and costs upwards of $400. Carbon steel paella pans in three typical sizes used by home cooks are shown in the photo above.
Two to Four Servings: To prepare a paella for up to 4 people, you can use a 12-inch, heavy-bottomed, 3-inch deep, frying pan, or a 12-inch paella pan. You can also use a large electric skillet with a thermostat control.
For Larger Groups: A 18-inch paella pan makes up to 12 servings, while a 24-inch pan makes up to 19 servings. Remember, due to the shape of the pan, the amount can be reduced to half as many servings without negatively affecting the quality of the paella.
Perfect Paella Tip: Don't worry if the pan looks "old" after its' first use. Simply wash, dry and immediately rub with oil, and it will last many years.

Winter is the season for influenza, and as the flu season continues, State health officials want to remind Hoosiers this is also norovirus or "stomach flu" season. Norovirus is not actually influenza, however, both may be prevented by taking measures to protect yourself.
This season, health officials are reporting that a new strain of norovirus has appeared. This new strain, called GII.4 Sydney, originated in Australia and has been detected throughout Europe and the United States. This strain is overtaking others to become the dominant strain in areas where it has been found. Most people will be susceptible to this new strain; however, it does not carry worse symptoms than others.
Health officials confirm the new GII.4 Sydney strain of norovirus has reached Indiana and say they will continue to investigate outbreaks and monitor disease activity.
"With so much discussion regarding this flu season, it is important for Hoosiers to understand there is a difference between influenza and what is commonly called the stomach flu," said State Health Commissioner William VanNess II, M.D. "Knowing the difference can help prevent both illnesses."
Norovirus infection, also known as viral gastroenteritis, is not the flu at all but a viral infection of the intestinal tract. It is spread through eating or drinking contaminated food or drink or by close contact with an infected person.
Norovirus is more common in the late fall through winter, but infections and outbreaks can occur any time of year. This virus is very contagious and easily spread by infected people, contaminated food or drinks or touching contaminated surfaces. Norovirus can survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours. Symptoms occur about 24 to 48 hours after exposure and include sudden onset of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and body aches. Most people recover fully within one to two days without complications.
"Flu shots do not protect against norovirus," said Dr. VanNess. "However norovirus prevention is similar to flu prevention in the need to frequently wash hands, disinfect contaminated surfaces, wash soiled clothing and avoid preparing food if you're not feeling well."
Influenza, by contrast, is a viral infection of the respiratory tract. It is spread by respiratory droplets from close contact with infected persons or contact with contaminated surfaces or objects. Infection can occur when influenza viruses contact the eyes, mouth or nose, and possibly through inhaling droplets from a sneeze or cough. Sometimes people may become infected by touching surfaces or objects contaminated with influenza viruses and then touching their eyes, mouth or nose.
Signs and symptoms of norovirus ("Stomach Flu") versus Influenza (Flu):
Norovirus ("Stomach Flu")
Influenza (Flu)

An Alabama man who is stationed at Fort Hood is still in disbelief.
Army Specialist Drek Belyue, who is from Coosa County, says police are still on the scene tonight at Fort Hood. He says you can still see and hear sirens as this is still an active crime scene.
Drek said earlier today he actually saw police cars fly by him but at the time he had no idea a mass shooting had taken place.
Drek also tells WSFA 12 that the shooting occurred five buildings from him, within walking distance.
"We should not have to fear for our lives on American soil. We get killed more on American soil than we do on foreign land fighting the enemy or fighting foreign countries," Belyue said. "The shooting that took place in 2009 was right down the road from the shooting that took place today and I just don't understand how people get weapons on post. I would think they would step up the security and search for these things in people's vehicles."
We've gotten word tonight from Alabama Air National Guard Unit has no servicemen and women at Fort Hood. So that means no members of the 187th Fighter Wing Unit have been deployed and there are no near future plans of deployment to Fort Hood according to military officials.
Ft Rucker also released a statement today about the incident at Ft. Hood.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to our Fort Hood Family. At Fort Rucker, as always, we are taking prudent measures to protect our Soldiers, Families and civilian employees. Our post remains under normal operations, however, we will continue to monitor the situation for the latest information."

Man I finally made it to CCB and it was for the Hunahpu release and I wouldnt be anywhere else.
As for Bolita...
A: it pours dark as sh!t but tastes amazing, Its got colors of dark hazel nut and mahogany mixed. Really interesting.
S: wow...smells just like you would think. Totally CCB style. Its deep, rich, cocoa stlye with hints of cedar and tons of alcohol.
T/M: carbonation was legit bit not overbeareing. It was strong. Medium to full bodied.
D: love this beer. It was all around something different from something that I am used too and thats cool for St Paddys day.

3.93/5 rDev -11.1%
Pours a very dark brown, nearly black in color. A bubbly ring of head forms on the pour. Doesn't stick around long, and is gone before I take my first sip.
Smell is heavily roasted espresso. Dominated in the nose by this roasted espresso notes.
Taste is very roasty espresso, some cocoa at the very back end. There's just the slightest hint of vanilla in the finish. Very roasty and smokey in the flavor. There's very low carbonation and almost seems like it may be flat.
Very good roasted flavor. Would like to see the vanilla come through more in the flavor as well. Decent beer.

4.2/5 rDev -5%
Big thanks to RoyMunson for sharing.
A: Pours a very deep brown, completely opaque. Pours with very little head and not much lacing.
S: Deep brown with plenty of unexpected burnt toasty and coffee notes. Some deeply bitter chocolate in the back with just a touch of sweetness from some vanilla in the back.
T/M: More of the dark roast and coffee with a big brown base. More deeply bitter chocolate paired with the coffee and lightly balanced with the light vanilla. Body is medium full and a bit weak due to a major lack of carbonation.
D: Very tasty and unique. The lack of carbonation really hurts things.

32oz medicine bottle growler provided and split with fellow BA Infestaxion. Thanks Daive! Served in an oversized tulip.
A: Dark Brown. No light getting through this murky mess. Half a finger of light brown head that went quick. Great lacing.
S: Rich, roasty overpowering Cuban coffee. You can tell quality when you smell it! There's some underlying chocolate notes, but the coffee almost overwhelms them.
T: Tastes much like it smells, and that's a good thing. A very good thing. BIG roasty espresso goodness. Dark coaco coats the mouth, and finishes with some sweet vanilla. Not overly complex, but then some of the best things in life aren't!
M: Mouthfeel is heftier than I thought it would be. Medium to heavy, with the carbonation level just right. Very smooth and creamy.
D: Goes down super easy for such an intense, flavorful beer. I could have finished the entire 32oz growler myself. No doubt about it.
It's a good time to be living down in Florida. Hurricanes haven't been bad, the entire nation isn't mad at you for screwing up the election, and Cigar City Brewing is churning out some killer brews like Mochaccino Bolita. Of course you could be in Florida waiting to die, but even then you can hopefully still enjoy some CCB on your deathbed. Mochaccino Bolita is so far my favorite offering from CCB and I can't wait to try more. Also please distribute to Indiana in the future. We like Florida a lot here, and already infuse your economy during vacation time.

Happy to have gotten the chance to try this beer. A 32oz growler shared with a friend, poured into a Cigar City snifter.
Very deep brown color with moderate clarity and a one-finger tan head. Very dense foam that subsides to a thin cap. Nice lacing coats the glass.
Up front, all I smell is coffee. As I dig deeper I pull out rich vanilla and some caramel. Bolita pushes through and makes its presence known with a sweet toffee aroma.
Tastes like fresh espresso beans. Not harsh, just very earthy, nutty and pleasing overall. Some vanilla-caramel sweetness at the finish. Wonderful balance of flavor- every layer blends together in perfect harmony.
Moderate carbonation. Smooth and silky mouthfeel with a slight drying finish that makes this wonderfully enjoyable. I can't believe this is 9%. The alcohol is nowhere to be found.
Thank you, Cigar City, for this ridiculously awesome beer.

Tasted before I skipped the country for a bit.
A: Poured a nice dark nutty brown hue with a nice tall creamy head. Good retention and lace.
S: Wonderful rich Cuban Espresso right up front. Subtle hints of vanilla and caramel. The rich roasted malts from the base Bolita is there along with a touch of chocolate.
T: Bold bold bold espresso. This one is coffee forward for sure. The vanilla mingles in the back and plays off the nibs. Mochaccino is a great name for this one. The base beer is not lost here. The wonderful Bolita stands up to the treatment of espresso, vanilla, and chocolate to create another real solid beer.
M: Fuller side of medium for the style. Rich, bold, and tasty. Great carbonation to carry the big bold flavors.
D: Another solid cigar city beer. Once I could sit back and enjoy morning or night.

16 oz flip top, filled at the brewery, into red wine glass. Big thanks to Greg (tpd795) for the effort in getting this out to me! Having a bit of experience with the Maduro, I let this one warm up to about 45 degrees and up from there before I even considered reviewing it.
Pours a dark brown that goes reddish brown around the edges, maybe a very light haze to it, with a one-finger light-khaki head that settles into a thin soapy layer.
Nose carries everything you'd expect it to - big fat cocoa with just a bit of a woody nod to the nibs themselves, a light dose of earthy coffee grounds, and a beautiful vanilla sweetness really makes this one take off. Just a bit of nutty brown ale underneath, but the three beans are the star in this one. Very impressive.
Taste up front is nutty, with smooth medium-dark chocolate coming out (just a bit of caramel mixed in there, but the coffee is by far the big brother), before taking off with a roasty espresso note from the coffee that carries all the way through to the finish - fantastic. Vanilla really shows off on the finish, which is the keynote to the whole experience - all three flavors really come out to shine as the flavor lingers in your mouth, the perfect blend of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla, sweetness and bitterness. The best big brown ale I've had, hands down. Finish has a smooth bitterness to it from the espresso that works perfectly with the rest of the beer.
Mouthfeel is medium full bodied, but with a lightness to it from the soft, coating, crisp carbonation.
Drinkability is phenomenal. Not a hint of the big 9% abv, but the flavors are just out of this world. Sweetness and bitterness sit in perfect harmony, neither lingering too long, each showing up right when it's needed.
Wow. The Cacao Maduro was a good beer, but this takes it way further. Showcases the coffee, cocoa, and vanilla perfectly. Phenomenal.

Bolita aged on Cuban espresso, Madagascar vanilla and Peruvian cacao nibs.
Huge thanks to greg for this one. I have to say I am doing very, very limited drinking these days, and this truly made my day. Cracked the growler with dinner tonight and finished it throughout the evening. Consumed on 07/23/2009.
Appearance - Very nice pour here, dare I say nearly exceptional as the rich dark brown color over took a book straight out of a rich coffee house creation. Nice tan head caps the glass perfectly at a height of nearly two inches before dropping down to a thin veil and coating the entirety of the glass.
Smell - Rich chocolate and coffee fill the air the second you crack the lid. Sweet milk chocolate aroma is soo heavenly I melt in the chair. Fresh brewed coffee that is laced with vanilla and hints of sugar just wonderful.
Taste - The I took a taste of one of the best beers I have ever run across. Maybe it was the week long drought of beer for me, maybe it was that the style is most likely at the top of things I look for, who knows. But it doesnt matter, what matters is the rich chocolate flavor that coats my tongue from the very first sip. So soothing and sweet, elegantly mixed with some fine fresh coffee flavors, hints of vanilla and molasses, all suddenly colliding at just the right time to produce a sublime taste, something I would pay to have on a daily basis.
Feel - For the style very full bodied, but I have to say it really works for it. Perfect carbonation really lets the flavor coat the tongue and give you the full expierence, but at the same time it keeps from getting too thick or overbearing and everything stays firmly in line.
Drinkability- Could I possibly have something hit my pint glass that is easier to drink or more enjoyable for me, I really think not.
Overall - I gotta say, I am a huge fan of CCB and I will not hide that. I have been lucky enough to try a great deal of their offerings, but that is truly not enough for me. Say what you will but this is a damn, damn fine beer here. Near perfection for me in a sessionable, full flavored and not too heavy brown ale. I only wish I lived closer.
