ashshy writes Unlike the obvious battery needs for smartphones or electric cars, many consumers are unaware of the exploding need for enormous battery banks as modern power grids are bringing a whole new set of requirements. From the article: "'Our electricity grid was built a certain way, and that way is to have on-demand production,' Argonne National Laboratory battery researcher Jeff Chamberlain explained. 'So as I flip my light switch on at home, there's some little knob somewhere that turns the power up. There is no buffer. It's a very interesting production cycle compared to other consumer goods. It was built a certain way, and the grid is currently changing in two different ways. One is, first our demand is increasing. But another is, around the world human beings are trying to get off fossil fuels and that means using solar and wind. Well, we cannot turn up the sun or wind, or turn down the sun or wind according to our energy needs. So the more those technologies penetrate the grid, the more you need energy storage. You need a buffer. And that is a very difficult challenge that's similar to transportation because it's cost-driven,' Chamberlain said. 'But it's also different from transportation because we're not limited by volume or mass like we are in vehicles. We're working on energy storage systems that are stationary.'"

sciencehabit writes: Scientists have long believed that the power of the sun comes largely from the fusion of protons into helium, but now they can finally prove it (abstract). An international team of researchers using a detector buried deep below the mountains of central Italy has detected neutrinos—ghostly particles that interact only very reluctantly with matter—streaming from the heart of the sun. Other solar neutrinos have been detected before, but these particular ones come from the key proton-proton fusion reaction that is the first part of a chain of reactions that provides 99% of the sun's power.

mdsolar writes with good news for the National Spherical Torus Experiment. Tucked away from major roadways and nestled amid more than 80 acres of forest sits a massive warehouse-like building where inside, a device that can produce temperatures hotter than the sun has sat cold and quiet for more than two years. But the wait is almost over for the nuclear fusion reactor to get back up and running at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. "We're very excited and we're all anxious to turn that machine back on," said Adam Cohen, deputy director for operations at PPPL. The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) has been shut down since 2012 as it underwent a $94 million upgrade that will make it what officials say will be the most powerful fusion facility of its kind in the world. It is expected to be ready for operations in late winter or early spring, Cohen said.

10 years ago today on this site, readers answered the question "Why is Java considered un-cool?" 10 years later, Java might not be hip, but it's certainly stuck around. (For slightly more than 10 years, it's been the basis of the Advanced Placement test for computer science, too, which means that lots of American students are exposed to Java as their first formally taught language.) And for most of that time, it's been (almost entirely) Free, open source software, despite some grumbling from Oracle. How do you see Java in 2014? Are the pessimists right?

schwit1 (797399) writes with an update on the European Space Agency's comet-exploring craft Rosetta: "Rosetta has successfully achieved orbit around Comet 67P/C-G and has transmitted its first close up images. More information here (1) and here (2) about the rendezvous and what science the mission scientists plan to do as they orbit the comet." As pointed out earlier by reader Taco Cowboy, this is the fruit of a 10-year mission. Reuters points out The mission performs several historical firsts, including the first time a spacecraft orbits a comet rather than just whizzing past to snap some fly-by pictures, and the first time a probe has landed on a comet. ... There is little flexibility in Rosetta's schedule this year. The comet is still hurtling toward the inner Solar System at almost 55,000 km per hour, and the closer it gets to the sun the more active it will become, emitting gases that can make it difficult to predict the trajectory of Rosetta and its probe.

An anonymous reader writes For the fifth consecutive year, the solar car team from the University of Michigan has won the American Solar Car Challenge. The event is an eight-day, 1,700-mile race with a total of 23 participating teams. The Umich victory comes in spite of a 20-30 minute delay when they had problems with the motor at the very beginning of the race. "They made the time up when team strategists decided to push the car to the speed limit while the sun was shining bright, rather than hold back to conserve energy." Footage of the race and daily updates on the car's performance are available from the team's website, as are the specs of the car itself. Notably, the current iteration of the car weighs only 320 pounds, a full 200 pounds lighter than the previous version.

schwit1 writes: On July 23, 2012, the sun unleashed two massive clouds of plasma that barely missed a catastrophic encounter with the Earth's atmosphere. These plasma clouds, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), comprised a solar storm thought to be the most powerful in at least 150 years.
"If it had hit, we would still be picking up the pieces," physicist Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado tells NASA. Fortunately, the blast site of the CMEs was not directed at Earth. Had this event occurred a week earlier when the point of eruption was Earth-facing, a potentially disastrous outcome would have unfolded.
"Analysts believe that a direct hit could cause widespread power blackouts, disabling everything that plugs into a wall socket. Most people wouldn't even be able to flush their toilet because urban water supplies largely rely on electric pumps. ... According to a study by the National Academy of Sciences, the total economic impact could exceed $2 trillion, or 20 times greater than the costs of a Hurricane Katrina. Multi-ton transformers damaged by such a storm might take years to repair." Steve Tracton put it this way in his frightening overview of the risks of a severe solar storm: "The consequences could be devastating for commerce, transportation, agriculture and food stocks, fuel and water supplies, human health and medical facilities, national security, and daily life in general."

An anonymous reader writes New research at the University of East Anglia finds that oceans are vital in the search for alien life. So far, computer simulations of habitable climates on other planets have focused on their atmospheres. But oceans play an equally vital role in moderating climates on planets and bringing stability to the climate, according to the study. From the press release: "The research team from UEA's schools of Mathematics and Environmental Sciences created a computer simulated pattern of ocean circulation on a hypothetical ocean-covered Earth-like planet. They looked at how different planetary rotation rates would impact heat transport with the presence of oceans taken into account. Prof David Stevens from UEA's school of Mathematics said: 'The number of planets being discovered outside our solar system is rapidly increasing. This research will help answer whether or not these planets could sustain alien life. We know that many planets are completely uninhabitable because they are either too close or too far from their sun. A planet's habitable zone is based on its distance from the sun and temperatures at which it is possible for the planet to have liquid water. But until now, most habitability models have neglected the impact of oceans on climate.'"

SonicSpike sends this story from NY Magazine:
Rand Paul appears to be making a full-court press for the affections of Silicon Valley, and there are some signs that his efforts are paying off. At last week's Sun Valley conference, Paul had one-on-one meetings with Thiel and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. ... Next weekend, Paul will get to make his case yet again as the keynote speaker at Reboot, a San Francisco conference put on by a group called Lincoln Labs, which self-defines as "techies and politicos who believe in promoting liberty with technology." He'll likely say a version of what he's said before: that Silicon Valley's innovative potential can be best unlocked in an environment with minimal government intrusion in the forms of surveillance, corporate taxes, and regulation. "I see almost unlimited potential for us in Silicon Valley," Paul has said, with "us" meaning libertarians.
Today's Silicon Valley is still exceedingly liberal on social issues. But it seems more skeptical about taxes and business regulation than at any point in its recent history. Part of this is due to the rise of companies like Uber and Tesla Motors, blazing-hot start-ups that have been opposed at every turn by protectionist regulators and trade unions, in confrontations that are being used by small-government conservatives as case studies in government control run amok.

An anonymous reader writes A newly discovered planet in a binary, or twin, star system located 3,000 light-years from Earth is expanding astronomers' notions of where Earth-like planets can form. At twice the mass of Earth, the planet orbits one of the stars in the binary system at almost exactly the same distance at which Earth orbits the sun. However, because the planet's host star is much dimmer than the sun, the planet is much colder than Earth. "This greatly expands the potential locations to discover habitable planets in the future," said Scott Gaudi, professor of astronomy at Ohio State. "Half the stars in the galaxy are in binary systems. We had no idea if Earth-like planets in Earth-like orbits could even form in these systems."

theodp writes:Google recently announced Global Impact Awards for Computer Science, part of the company's $50 million investment to get girls to code. But Google's influence over K-12 CS education doesn't stop there. The Sun-Times reports that Chicago Public School (CPS) teachers are participating in a summer professional development program hosted by Google as part of the district's efforts to "saturate" schools with CS within 3 years: "The launch of CS4All [Computer Science for All], in partnership with Code.org and supported by Google, starts this fall in 60 CPS schools to try to bridge the digital divide and prepare students." And in two weeks, the Computer Science Teachers Association [CSTA] and Google will be presenting the National Computer Science Principles Education Summit. "Attendees at this event have been selected through a rigorous application process that will result in more than 70 educators and administrators working together to strategize about getting this new Advanced Placement course implemented in schools across the country," explains CSTA. The ACM, NSF, Google, CSTA, Microsoft, and NCWIT worked together in the past "to provide a wide range of information and guidance that would inform and shape CS education efforts," according to the University of Chicago, which notes it's now conducting a follow-up NSF-funded study — Barriers and Supports to Implementing Computer Science — that's advised by CPS, CSTA, and Code.org.

jones_supa writes: Russia's legislature, often accused of metaphorically turning back the clock, has decided to do it literally – abandoning the policy of keeping the country on daylight-saving time all year. The 2011 move to impose permanent "summer time" in 2011 was one of the most memorable and least popular initiatives of Dmitry Medvedev's presidency. It forced tens of millions to travel to their jobs in pitch darkness during the winter. In the depths of December, the sun doesn't clear the horizon in Moscow until 10am. The State Duma, the lower house of parliament, voted 442-1 on Tuesday to return to standard time this autumn and stay there all year. The article also discusses a ban on swearing in books, plays, and films that went into effect today in Russia.

An anonymous reader writes A NASA satellite being prepared for launch early on Tuesday is expected to reveal details about where carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas tied to climate change, is being released into Earth's atmosphere on a global scale. From the article: "The $468 million mission is designed to study the main driver of climate change emitted from smokestacks and tailpipes. Some of the carbon dioxide is sucked up by trees and oceans, and the rest is lofted into the atmosphere, trapping the sun's heat and warming the planet. But atmospheric CO2 levels fluctuate with the seasons and in different regions of the Earth. The natural and human activities that cause the changes are complicated. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, or OCO-2 for short, will be able to take an ultra-detailed look at most of the Earth's surface to identify places responsible for producing or absorbing the greenhouse gas."

ygslash (893445) writes Astronomers at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory announced that they have discovered what appears to be the coolest white dwarf ever detected. The white dwarf is formerly a star similar to our own sun which, after expending all of its fuel, has cooled to less than a chilly 3000 degrees Kelvin and contracted to a size approximately the same as Earth. A white dwarf is composed mostly of carbon and oxygen, and the astronomers believe that at that temperature it would be mostly crystallized, forming something like a huge diamond.

An anonymous reader writes Oracle is buying hospitality and retail technology vendor Micros Systems for $5.3 billion, in a deal that will be its largest since the purchase of Sun Microsystems in 2010. "Oracle said the acquisition will extend its offerings by combining Micros' industry-specific applications with its business applications, technologies and cloud portfolio. Oracle expects the deal to immediately add to its adjusted earnings. Its stock climbed 18 cents to $41 before the market opened. Micros' board unanimously approved the transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of the year."

An anonymous reader writes "One of the oldest pieces of the Linux desktop stack still widely in use today is the X Window System that today is commonly referred to as X11 or in recent years the X.Org Server. The X Window System predates the Linux kernel, the Free Software Foundation, GCC, and other key pieces of the Linux infrastructure — or most software widely-used in general. Today marks 30 years since the announcement of X at MIT when it was introduced to Project Athena." X wasn't new when I first saw it, on Sun workstations the summer before I started college.

A New York Times piece (as carried by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) outlines a fascinating project operating in unlikely circumstances for a quixotic goal. They want to control, and return to earth, the International Sun-Earth Explorer-3, launched in 1978 but which "appears to be in good working order." Engineer Dennis Wingo, along with like minded folks (of whom he says "We call ourselves techno-archaeologists") has established a business called Skycorp that "has its offices in the McDonald's that used to serve the Navy's Moffett air station, 15 minutes northwest of San Jose, Calif. After the base closed, NASA converted it to a research campus for small technology companies, academia and nonprofits. ... The race to revive the craft, ISEE-3, began in earnest in April. At the end of May, using the Arecibo Observatory radio telescope in Puerto Rico, the team succeeded in talking to the spacecraft, a moment Mr. Wingo described as "way cool." This made Skycorp the first private organization to command a spacecraft outside Earth orbit, he said. The most disheartening part: "No one has the full operating manual anymore, and the fragments are sometimes contradictory." The most exciting? "Despite the obstacles, progress has been steady, and Mr. Wingo said the team should be ready to fire the engines within weeks."

KentuckyFC (1144503) writes 'One curious feature on the Moon's surface are "lunar swirls", wisp-like regions that are whiter than surrounding areas and that, until recently, astronomers could not explain. But one team of physicists recently showed that these areas are protected by weak magnetic fields that deflect high energy particles from the Sun and so prevent the darkening effect this radiation has. The problem they had to solve was how a weak field could offer so much protection, when numerous studies of long duration spaceflight have shown that only very powerful fields can act like radiation shields. The team now says that these previous studies have failed to take into account an important factor: the low density plasma that exists in space. It turns out that this plasma is swept up by a weak magnetic field moving through space, creating a layer of higher density plasma. That's important because the separation of charge within this layer creates an electric field. And it is this field that deflects the high energy particles from the Sun. That explains the lunar swirls but it also suggests that the same effect could be exploited to protect astronauts on long duration missions to the moon, to nearby asteroids and beyond. This team has now produced the first study of such a shield and how it might work. Their shield would use superconducting coils to create a relatively weak field only when it is needed, during solar storms, for example. And it would create a plasma by pumping xenon into the vacuum around the vehicle, where it would be ionised by UV light. The entire device would weigh around 1.5 tonnes and use about 20 KW of power. That's probably more than mission planners could currently accommodate but it is significantly less than the science fiction-type power requirements of previous designs. And who knows what other tricks of plasma physics engineers might be able to exploit to refine this design. All of a sudden, long duration space flight looks a little more feasible.'

Kilgore Public Information Officer Roman Roberson confirms with KLTV that a teenager was shot and killed Saturday night in Kilgore.
Roberson tells us the shooting happened shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday in the 3000 block of Mustang Drive in Kilgore, located off of Farm to Market Road 349 northeast of downtown Kilgore.
Upon arrival officers found 17-year-old Kayla Williams dead from an apparent gunshot wound. Witnesses in the area identified the shooter to police as 22-year-old Coby Hudgins of Kilgore. Police say he left the residence after the shooting before police arrived. Hudgins was later involved in a vehicle crash on FM 2087. He was arrested for DWI by DPS officers.
Following an investigation by the Kilgore Police Department's Criminal Investigation Unit, Hudgins was charged with murder and is currently being held in the Gregg County Jail on bonds over $100,000.

Keller Williams has been called guitars mad-scientist, a one-man-band for the new millennium and dozens of other clever sobriquets dreamed up by fans and music journalists trying to get a handle on his uplifting and ever-shifting style of music. Williams is considered by some but not by himself, to be a master of the acoustic guitar, known for his ability to solo over layers of spontaneously created loops. He is a generous performer who plays down to earth acoustic music that defies any effort to find a convenient pigeonhole. If pressed for a definition, Williams, as adept with language as he is with a guitar pick, calls it solo, acoustic jazzfunk reggae technograss - or simply - solo acoustic dance music.
On stage, Williams exudes a restless yet mellow energy. Barefoot he dances in place, alternately spinning out long solo lines and bouncing chord clusters that draw listeners and dancers into his own private world of rhythm and melody. The songs flow like rivers, full of flickering, kaleidoscopic images revealing new shapes, colors and meanings with every listen. On the stage behind him is a forest of stringed instruments as well as a keyboard and various drums and percussion toys. Williams jumps between instruments seeking out the perfect sound, the perfect note, the perfect beat that will transport him and his audience.

A gospel song saved a 10-year-old Atlanta boy from his kidnapper.
Willie Myrick said he was in his front yard and bent down to pick up money when somebody grabbed him and threw him in a car.
"He told me he didn't want to hear a word from me," Myrick said.
That's when Myrick began to sing a gospel song called "Every Praise." The kidnapper started cursing and repeatedly told Myrick to shut up, but he wouldn't. He sang the song for about three hours until the kidnapper let him out of the car.
The little boy ran to a nearby home and asked the resident to call his guardian.
Myrick recently got to meet "Every Praise" gospel singer Hezekiah Walker, and they sang the song together.
Police don't have any leads on the suspect, but are hoping a sketch they released will generate tips.
Click here to watch a report from FOX News Insider, which includes Willie singing the song on a local radio station.

Gloucester edge out Wasps
February 13, 2011
Gloucester edge out Wasps%]
Gloucester moved into fourth in the Aviva Premiership after edging out Wasps 10-9 at Adams Park on Sunday evening.
The Cherry and Whites had racked up a 10-0 lead by the break thanks to a try from wing James Simpson-Daniel and a conversion and penalty from fly-half Nicky Robinson.
Robinson's kicking boots deserted him after the break as he missed three further penalty attempts, but Dave Walder's three successful kicks were not enough for the hosts. But there was bad news for both sides as a gripping contest was marred by the sight of former England wings Tom Varndell and James Simpson-Daniel leaving the pitch on stretchers with what looked like serious ankle injuries.
Wasps welcomed back No.8 John Hart for his first game of the season following a shoulder operation last summer, but Gloucester were forced to make two late changes when Olly Morgan and Alex Brown withdrew with injuries sustained in training. They switched Charlie Sharples to full-back, recalled Tom Voyce to the wing and former Wales lock Will James came in for Brown.
Driving rain had soaked the pitch before kick-off, and Gloucester targeted Ben Jacobs immediately, launching high balls towards the centre as he tried to adapt to his unfamiliar role at fullback. Wasps should have made more of a great 12th-minute break by Joe Simpson, taken on by Joe Worsley, but the flanker's decision to pass wide to Hart rather than inside was a mistake because Hart kicked ahead, and the threat died.
The conditions led to a number of knocks-ons, and referee Dean Richards was busy setting a succession of scrums, but both teams set our their stall from the kick-off - to attack. And although Wasps had the edge in early possession, it was Gloucester who were first on the scoreboard after 17 minutes.

Wasps captain Joe Ward blundered by batting back a high kick from Sharples that was missed by Jacobs, and Simpson-Daniel was on the loose ball like a flash, scooting clear to score by the posts, Robinson adding the conversion. As the rain intensified, Jacobs was under pressure from the high balls aimed his way, and it seemed odd that former England fullback Mark van Gisbergen was perched on the Wasps bench.
Another Wasps mistake, this time being lazy in retreating, handed Gloucester a penalty on 25 minutes, and Robinson's kick was spot-on. Gloucester came into the game with questions being asked about their scrum, but there was little wrong about their scrummaging during the first half at Adams Park, adding to the problems confronted by Wasps.
Walder drilled home a penalty with his first opportunity at goal of the evening early in the second half and within 60 seconds Gloucester were caught offside and Walder doubled his and Wasps' tally with another accurate kick. Gloucester hit back and forced a penalty on 52 minutes, but the angle out wide proved too acute for Robinson whose attempt fell short.
Richard Birkett then hauled down a maul in the 55th minute, escaped a yellow card, and watched as Robinson missed his second penalty attempt in three minutes. Wasps were sharper during the second half, and it was no surprise when Van Gisbergen came on at fullback in the 60th minute, with Jacobs replacing Richard Haughton on the wing.
Gloucester were unlucky to concede a 64th minute penalty, awarded against Akapusi Qera who looked to have been punched in the face by Serge Betsen. Worse for the visitors, Walder rifled it home from 40 metres. Wasps created a strong scoring opportunity following a 13-phase series of rucks only for Walder's attempted drop-goal to fly low and wide as Gloucester held out before Robinson missed another late penalty chance for the visitors.

James Acaster
The second weekend of the festival is here and that means some changes are afoot. Some acts are finishing up their seasons already, while others are just beginning. So if you're heading out this weekend, here are some of the shows you should put on your list.
Building buzz
Some acts are beginning to build a significant amount of hype, so you might want to get in this weekend before their seasons start selling out and you find yourself missing out.
Bryony Kimmings in Sex Idiot.
Hannah Gadsby - The Exhibitionist
Gadsby has been building her profile (including her own ABC TV series on art in Australia) and her reputation as one of our sharpest female comics over recent years, including a Barry Award nomination last year. Although I'm sure she's already playing to packed houses, word of mouth is that this is her best show yet. "It's Gadsby's ability to place the personal within the bigger picture that sets her apart from the pack," writes Rebecca Harkins-Cross in her review.
James Acaster - Lawnmower
This slim young English lad is already starting to fill his room thanks to his sharp wit and clever writing. Like Ronny Chieng, there's a swagger and confidence to his performance that, rather than coming off as arrogant, perfectly suits his style. "His deadpan style is neatly calculated to provoke laughs when least expected, and it's an intelligent sort of humour which relies on the sharpness of the audience," writes Tim Richards.
Amos Gill - You've Changed
Gill will likely be selling out his show shortly, particularly since he's in the tiny Locker Room at the Portland Hotel (though it's a room that has launched plenty of stars in its time). It's his first solo show at the festival and he's impressing audiences with his confidence and polish. Reviewer Nick Taras suggests Gill's been influenced by Wil Anderson and this is no bad thing. "If you're looking for a young comedian to take a punt on and don't mind some occasionally crude subject matter, Gill is certainly worth it," he writes.
Set List
A late-night show of improvised hilarity, Set List kicks off this weekend and will feature a variety of performers from around the festival. Each are given random topics and forced to come up with jokes on the spot. Well worth a look if you want to see just how quick-witted your favourite comedians can be.
Get in quick
Bryony Kimmings - Sex Idiot
A four-star review and much hype surrounds Kimmings' exploration of her own sexual history, stemming from discovering she had picked up a (treatable) sexually transmitted disease. She contacts her former lovers and creates a variety of theatrical pieces for each experience. As reviewer Rebecca Harkins-Cross writes: "Sex Idiot is outrageous, gallant, invigorating and hilarious. Don't miss it." However, you have little time left - the show finishes on Saturday night.
Sean Cullen - I am a Human Man
Still The Age's only perfect score this festival, Canadian Cullen has just three shows remaining: Friday, Saturday and Monday. Strange and brilliant, with a talent for voices, improvisation and song, writes Tim Richards.
Kyle Kinane
A terrific American stand-up, Kinane brings a freshness to the form. Dark and delightful, this is one American who gets irony. While he himself is the butt of most of his jokes, there's nothing pitiful here - Kinane is confident in what he's doing and performance a delicate highwire act, particularly towards the end of the show, in keeping the audience on side despite how dark things get. He finishes his run on Sunday. Full review.
Next week
Several new performers begin their runs next week, including festival favourites Reginald D Hunter and Tim Key, American Brendan Walsh and a new line-up for Headliners that includes Greg Behrendt and Wil Sylvince. Stay tuned for reviews.

I'm sure he got the point but HQ will never find out about the sticky situation he is in
It's a good thing for all us British, Spanish, French, Portuguese and
subsequent followers-on that the aborigines of the Americas hadn't
got immigration laws back in the 1400s….
'By the way… is there static on your end? I swear it sounds like the patter of feet…'
wat, but it wasn't such a good thing for most of those aborigines.
Phil has followers..
Yeah, I just love it when self-proclaimed "true Americans"…
i.e. 3rd generation Germans, 5th generation Irish, even 20th generation English settlers…
want to keep the US from being "overrun by immigrants."
I have a friend who has lived in N Calif since she was three…
but was born in Texas to parents also born in Texas,
at least one of whom could trace Texas and Arizona-born ancestors back to the civil war, in which some fought…
But she looks Mexican and is bilingual in English and Spanish…
Her boss recently said something to her about how something or other would be beneficial to "immigrants like you."
It's not immigrants I have a problem with, it's the ones who do it illegally. My grandparents came through customs at Ellis Island in the early part of last century and worked hard to be Americans. Not European-Americans (or any other type of "-American") who refused to speak anything but their native language.
Susan Sunshine. P P hit the nail on the head. You are condemning people who came here legally (like your family, no doubt) for not liking the fact that the people coming here ILLEGALLY are getting benefits for free that most of us citizens have to work all our lives to pay for and then get told that the system is bankrupt.
Shouldn't the prickly, pointed plants be 'cacti?'
P P and bwillett -
+ 1,000
-—— Right On!
I think Wiley might have stimulated a bit of contrasting opinion with this 'toon. It'll be interesting to see where the comments go by tomorrow morning.
Susan never condemned anyone, I think you better read her comment again…. If you do and still think so then perhaps you need better skills at understanding the language.
So funny for people to that "2nd generation Germans are complaining we'll be over run by immigrants'
That isn't true by any means. What is being said is that we will be over run by ILLEGAL immigrants. Big difference.
Let them get in line and wait for a visa like my grandparents did. No cutting in line.
I agree!
Why would YOU guys assume I'm talking about illegal immigrants?!
ALL "immigrants" are suspected of being illegal these days… even my friend whose ancestors were born here!
And give me a break… when many of our ancestors came here, including mine, and possibly yours, there were no "illegal" immigrants… nobody at Ellis Island saying they couldn't come in.
The idea that immigrants, legal and illegal, are a drain on resources is a MYTH. The US government says that overall they are a benefit.
Most immigrants come here to work… the US didn't pay the cost of their education, or childhood health care…
they immediately start paying taxes and social security through payroll deductions.
In fact, illegals PAY social security but can't claim it.
Here are a couple of websites that explain this better…
sorry but it's waay past my bedtime.
One from a non-partisan group in Houston
One from a discussion site called RationalWiki
They had immigration policies, but they weren't able to enforce them. What's our excuse?

Outgoing Madison County Superintendent Dr. David Copeland had few words Thursday night after the latest evaluation of his performance from the county school board.
"I'll have a lot to say on it," Dr. Copeland remarked, "but not tonight."
On a scale of 1 to 5, Dr. Copeland scored a 2, even lower than what Copeland got from the board one year ago.
The evaluation, by individual members of the board, scores the superintendent on issues like management of the system's personnel, technology and finances, as well as relations with the community and the board.
"I think the sentiment of the board is that Dr. Copeland probably had some room for improvement," said school board member Angie Bates.
"We just need more communication on everything," added David Vess.
Board members said the scores will have more effect on him than on the district, since he was eliminated from re-election in this year's primary, but that it was important to weigh in on how the board thinks he's doing.
"Our job as a board member was to give him our honest opinion because we are representing the communities that pay the tax dollars that pay his salary," said Bates.
Bates added that it will ultimately be up to Dr. Copeland to decide how to use the results of the evaluation to set his future goals.
Dr. Copeland's position as superintendent will be filled by either Matt Massey or Ronnie Blair. That decision will be made by the voters in July's runoff.

Slaughterhouse - Goodbye (Remix)
Artist: Slaughterhouse
Featuring: Fat Joe
Producer: Boi-1da
Album: welcome to: OUR HOUSE
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 13 total votes )
While the Slaughterhouse sophomore studio album was far from the sellout that their most pessimistic fans had feared, it did find the lyrical supergroup expanding their artistic vision considerably. Not only did they shoot for mainstream success on the pre-release singles, but on album cut Goodbye, they got downright sentimental as they reminisced about family members who have passed on. Today, rap vet Fat Joe steps into the Booth with a remix dedicated to former manager Chris Lightly, who took his own life last week. In a newly-added opening verse over Boi-1da's poignant, piano-led backdrop, the artist expresses his love for his longtime friend and mentor, thanking Lightly for providing crucial support before anyone else in the game knew his name. The original version of Goodbye and much more can be found on Slaughterhouse's welcome to: OUR HOUSE LP, available in stores and online as of August 28.

For some of you it might be neccessary to travel to FNF14 on your own money, e.g. if you are an independent activist or your organization is (like most times) short on funding. But there is the possibility to get travel reimbursement from members of the parliament.
Every MEP may sponsor up to 110 visitors per year in groups larger than 10 people, if you belong to such a visitor group it is mandatory to participate in a tour through the parliament. How much money will be paid to the group members depends on the distance between the departure of the group and Brussels – usually you calculate the average distance if the group is spread throughout Europe. The subsidy is €0.09 per kilometre per visitor plus meal expenses of €40 per visitor. If a group comes from more than 200 kilometres away and stays overnight, additional €60 may be paid for hotel cost coverage.

We celebrate the contribution of Carmen Rupe as the last of her Taonga are accepted into the existing collection at Te Papa. Let's take a moment to reflect on her legacy.
Much has been made of Carmen's vibrancy and uncompromising values when it came to achieving social change. She is legendary in the truest of senses; her stories live on as largely now as they did before her passing and with time they will not lose their glow. We will look back at her life with our rose-tinted glasses and smile at how fabulous she was.
It seems somehow ironic that at a time when we pat ourselves on the back for realising many of the visions that Carmen articulated in the'60s and '70s, that we seem to have glossed over the fact that she did not actually get to share personally in many of those successes, and lived the last of her days in Sydney. We say she was one of our own, but how much of 'us' did we actually give her? We say we loved, admired and treasured her; but we did it from afar.
I am grateful to people like David Hartnell, Robin Waerea, Jurgen Hoffman and many of her other friends for cherishing and supporting her in the way that she deserved. They made a promise to her that they would bring her gifts to Te Papa, and they kept that promise. I am similarly grateful for the recognition that was bestowed upon Carmen by Te Papa at the very moving powhiri on Friday 01 November 2013. I loved the beautiful acknowledgement by Celia Wade-Brown the Mayor of Wellington, and I was humbled by the words of the Honorable Tariana Turia not just for Carmen, but for our community. But where is our community? How could Carmen be 'ours' more now that she is no longer with us than
When Bob Jones funded Carmen's 1977 bid for the Wellington mayoralty he was grand-standing behind her courage, and much of it was about shock value. She was mocked and her ideas around sexuality, prostitution, liquor licensing etc treated as absurd at the time. It was inconceivable that all of these things would actually come to pass. But they did. when she was`actually living and breathing beside us? I think we have some lessons to learn. We should not leave it until people have passed or moved from within our midst to embrace them unconditionally.
It is almost impossible for us to overstate the impact of Carmen on our social fabric. I remember her being talked about at the dinner table when I was 10 years old in 1977, and not in favourable terms. At that age I already knew I was different and as I sat quietly feeling myself growing red and shovelling peas into my mouth, all I could think of was how much I wanted to see this 'creature', as my mother described her.
As her personally chosen objects were being accepted into the museum, I felt a little overwhelmed by the sheer sense of loss and tragedy that g peas into my mouth, all I could think of was how much I wanted to see this 'creature', as my mother described her.
In saying that, I have no real idea if Carmen would have even wanted that, but what I do know is that it is time for us to follow Carmen's example and see that courage needs to come from within. Perhaps today our demons do not come in the shape of a Beehive, or a health system or the institution of marriage. Today, they come from a place far closer to home – our own attitudes towards each other. we all share, whether we know it or not. A sense of shame was also in my heart as I reflected on how we treat our elders within our wider GLBTI community. It just seems wrong to me that this woman was not even able to live out the last of her days in the very place where her legacy lives on; in the city that purports to call her 'ours'.
As a continuation of Carmen's journey, let's think a little more deeply and use her example to propel us as boldly, as loudly and with as much dignity as she did to make change.
For me, the legacy of Carmen does not lie in film clips and documentaries, tell-all biographies, portraits, photos in the National Library, outrageous costumes and fabulous jewellery stowed in Te Papa, or in the anecdotes and stories. These are things that will help us remember, but her true legacy lies in society's acceptance of me and my partner openly holding hands in public; it shows itself in the way I unashamedly hug and kiss my friends in the street; and it blesses me when I see my life in comparison with the current horrific treatment of GLBTI people in many other less-enlightened countries. One more thing I would like to see is for us to treasure our people as much when they are with us as we do when they have passed.
Carmen, you are and always will be beautiful. Always.

Officials try to oust Cheshire County jail guard who has a record
Tom Schoolcraft's mission to turn his life around by working as a Cheshire County corrections officer in Keene so infuriated several jail superintendents across the state that they have been trying to take away the convicted felon's certification.
Their attempts - which have failed so far - also reinvigorated Schoolcraft's efforts to win pardons from Gov. John Lynch and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick for the middle-of-the-night burglaries he committed along the Seacoast when he was 19.
"It's a slap in the face to the corrections profession," said David Dionne, superintendent of Hillsborough County Department of Corrections in Manchester.
Dionne voted with the other county jail superintendents in favor of Schoolcraft's certification in June, unaware of his felony convictions. After finding out from a New Hampshire Sunday News article July 22 about Schoolcraft's efforts to leave crime behind and work in county corrections, Dionne has led the charge to take back his certification.
Schoolcraft, now 29, served eight months in the Rockingham County House of Corrections in Brentwood for his crimes. Since then, he graduated with honors from Keene State College, worked as a corrections officer in Cheshire County, and enrolled in a master's degree program in criminal justice at Boston University.
The County Corrections Certification Board, composed of superintendents of all 10 county jails, decided last month to take another vote on Schoolcraft's original certification; the result was a 4-4 tie. Betsy Miller, executive director of the New Hampshire Association of Counties, said it is the position of the NHAC board that Schoolcraft's certification stands.
Officers must be recertified every year, she said. The rules do not prohibit a felon from being certified as a county corrections officer, nor do they require convictions be disclosed to the certifying board, Miller said.
Corrections officers at New Hampshire State Prison cannot be certified if they have been convicted of a crime, according to Jeffrey Lyons, spokesman for the New Hampshire Department of Corrections. County rules will likely be changed to prevent felons from being certified, Dionne said.
"I want the pardon board to see that half the superintendents in the state want me fired, decertified," Schoolcraft said. "My career is being threatened because people are embarrassed that I've done something with my life."?
That the same superintendents who talk about rehabilitation want to block his efforts surprised him, Schoolcraft said.
"I've lived up to their goal and exceeded it, yet they are angry and embarrassed by my victory. This speaks volumes about those in charge of the corrections system in N.H.," Schoolcraft said in a letter to Lynch.
Dionne said he has worked for 28 years in Hillsborough County to improve the reputation of corrections officers.
"This was something that took years to build, and now just days to destroy," Dionne said in an email to his counterparts after reading the article.
Dionne is angry that Schoolcraft's boss, Rick Van Wickler, superintendent of Cheshire County Department of Corrections, withheld Schoolcraft's convictions when submitting his name for a certification vote in June.
"I call that deceitful," Dionne said.
Schoolcraft took a course from Van Wickler, an adjunct professor at Keene State College, then interned at the jail and later asked Van Wickler for a job.
Van Wickler declined to comment last week, calling it a personnel matter, but has spoken out in favor of Schoolcraft in the past, saying there is a lot riding on Schoolcraft's success for both of them.
"If I didn't give him a chance, and said I believe in rehabilitation, that would be a falsehood," Van Wickler said.
John Pratt, chairman of the Cheshire County Commissioners, supports Van Wickler and Schoolcraft.
"Our superintendent Rick Van Wickler was not as forthright with them (certification board) as they would have wanted. It's a battle of the superintendents and Schoolcraft is the pawn," Pratt said.
Schoolcraft wants to be pardoned because his convictions will continue to be public. If a judge were to annul them, they would be erased from his record. He would also have to wait another three years to petition for annulment in New Hampshire.
"I feel like I have overcome everything they asked," Schoolcraft said. "And I want to move forward with my career and give back to society."
For Dionne, it's a matter of conscience.
"I couldn't in good conscience support certifying someone with a felony record," Dionne said.
"If (Schoolcraft) had it annulled or pardoned, and then became a corrections officer, I'd have no problem."
