A wildfire burned about 60 acres in tornado-felled trees near Ringgold Tuesday before it was declared under control at about 6:30 p.m. by the Georgia Forestry Commission, which bulldozed firebreaks around the blaze.
"It was a little larger than what we thought," Catoosa County Fire Battalion Chief Steve Quinn said this morning.
Firefigthers initially pegged the wildfire at about 20 acres.
The wildfire was sparked by a burning brush pile on tornado-slammed Cherokee Valley Road and burned northwest toward White Oak Mountain.
"It is still smoking a little bit at this time," Quinn said at 10:30 a.m., adding, "No houses were damaged. Nobody was hurt."
Asked if the person doing the burning would be cited, Quinn said, "That would be up to forestry."
The state agency issues burn permits outside city limits, he said. State forestry officials weren't immediately available for comment.

The Group for Research in Integrity and Governance (GIG) conducts research and engages with practitioners in the areas of corporate governance and many aspects of integrity. It is a research concentration of the Hawke Research Institute.
Members of the group share a common interest and involvement in matters related to integrity. Whether it is integrity per se as a virtue, maintaining the integrity of one culture or enterprise as it engages with another, establishing trust as a basis for complex transactions, this provides a consistent theme. The variety of members' backgrounds supports cross-disciplinary work in the area.We share a broader view of organisations and management, aside from counting or making, and not limited to business or commerce. We also share an interest in dealing with matters that are grey rather than black and white, with a tolerance of ambiguity.We share an interest in interdisciplinary approaches to research and scholarship, often from a critical orientation. This provides a philosophical framework within which to promote conversation about ideas. We do not see the group as having an advocacy role.
Whilst the School of Management provides the largest number of members, the group is multidisciplinary and draws members from elsewhere in the UniSA Business School, and from the Division of Education, Arts and Social Sciences.
Recent research and publications have focused on applied ethics, sustainable development, globalisation, corporate social responsibility, the implementation of new management systems within organisations, complex adaptive systems and university governance.

Well aloha Jonas Brothers! Nick and Joe Jonas were spotted kicking off their Hawaiian vacation with the traditional island custom of receiving leis (or a necklace made out of flowers) from welcoming locals.
Later, Nick and Joe were spotted shopping at a store in Maui. Nick looked casual (and a little sunburnt) in a tank top and shorts while his older brother Joe wore his typical jeans and t-shirt.

Pop star's famous friends and hundreds of parade-goers make cameo appearances
Earlier this month Demi Lovato took to the streets of West Hollywood to film her new music video for "Really Don't Care" among the revelers of L.A. Pride, for which she also acted as the grand marshal. It's probably not a coincidence it has been released on the first anniversary of the Supreme Court striking down anti-gay marriage laws DOMA and California's own Proposition 8.
There's tons of dancing, makeouts, rainbows and cameo appearances from the pop star's famous friends, including "The Vampire Diaries" star Kat Graham, Perez Hilton and Dovato's real-life beau Wilmer Valderrama.
See also: Demi Lovato Confirms She's Leaving 'X Factor'
Lovato kicks off by addressing anti-gay protestors: "You don't have to hate, because my Jesus loves all." She then launches into her song about ending a bad relationship for good, turning it into a message of empowerment, featuring a guest verse from British pop star Cher Lloyd.
"Really Don't Care" is the fourth single of Lovato's new album "Demi."

text: Obama lives from one news cycle to the next by John Hayward 11 Nov 2013 View Discussion Share This: In response to The White House Lied About the Cause of Healthcare.gov's Failure: Another thing that's been bugging me about the pitiful capabilities of HealthCareDotGov is that it's so out of whack with Obama's big, boisterous claims that fifty million souls cried out of health insurance. No part of this system appears to have been designed with the expectation that 50 million people would be using it. One strongly suspects Team Obama never believed its own baloney about the vast sea of victims that justified wrecking the entire healthcare system. The actual number of hardcore uninsured is more like 12 million or less; the system seems to to have been (poorly) designed by people who expected that amount of traffic, and couldn't even rise to meet such a modest challenge. I think you're right that Obama's various dodges about the October train wreck will go down in history alongside his Big Lie about keeping your health plan if you liked it. October was really Benghazi all over again: a series of risible falsehoods dished out to a credulous media in order to drag the story along, preventing a critical mass of public outrage from building to detonation. Obama's people are big believers in living from one news cycle to the next; as long as they "win" this one - the day after Benghazi, then the weekend after that, then the following week; ObamaCare launch day, then the following round of Sunday shows, then the mid-month panic that brought Obama to the Rose Garden for his infamous "Shamwow" infomercial press conference - they believe they can stay in the game, and time is always on their side. They still think time is on their side now, as the American people will learn to settle for less when it comes to their crummy new State-controlled health insurance system, provided they're doped up with enough subsidies. Junkies stop complaining about the "little things." But it's not working that way. Sticker shock is blowing people's minds, and the subsidies aren't enough to dull the pain, especially not in concert with the anger over lost plans that people really liked. The Democrat effort to spin the Big Lie as a bunch of cheesy fly-by-night plans people are better off without? That went over like a lead balloon, because it just wasn't true, and it made a lot of the ObamaCare "losers" even angrier. And now trepidation over the far larger chaos to come when the employer market blows up is mounting. Political theorists will study Obama's "one news cycle at a time" survival tactic for generations to come. It got him re-elected despite four years of grinding unemployment and fabulous Solyndra-style corruption. He was able to slink past scandals that would have ended anyone else - probably even Bill Clinton - because he could rely on the media's reluctance to create damaging "narratives" around him. He got past one scandal avalanche after the next, because everything instantly became "old news" once the Administration "won" a few games of Sunday-show parcheesi. The board was always completely reset for Barack Obama. He got away with portraying himself, every month for four long and onerous years, as a total outsider who just showed up in Washington yesterday, and couldn't believe what he found. Why, he's just as surprised, frustrated, disappointed, and angry about [fill in the scandal] as you are! But that won't work this time. ObamaCare is all him. There's no way to declare it "old news," and his efforts to pin it on the party that voted 100 percent against it have provoked guffaws. I'd say the Ted Cruz drama helped with that, because even the lowest-information voter knows Republicans desperately tried to stop this thing before it came crashing down on us. I think a long line of grim news cycles lies ahead for Democrats, from now until 2014, and not even the most helpful media can prevent the American people from turning that into a "narrative" all by themselves. A quarter of the enrollment period is gone, but less than 2 percent of total target signups have been achieved. People will remember how the Obama Administration tried to portray that as "overwhelming demand."

Khandwa: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday said there was not much difference between Congress and BJP when it comes to corruption, and accused Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan of double-speak on FDI issue.
"It is difficult to differentiate between Congress and BJP on the issue of corruption," AAP national spokesman and in-charge of Madhya Pradesh Sanjay Singh Azad said in Khandwa.
"I am saying this because Congress is looting at the Central level and BJP is doing so at the state level," he said, talking to reporters in Khandwa.
Attacking the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, AAP leader said Shivraj Singh Chouhan has double standards on FDI in retail issue.
Attacking the Chief Minister, Azad said "Chouhan has double standards on FDI in retail issue. On one hand the BJP Chief Minister opposes entry of retail giant Walmart in India and on the other, he has permitted Bharti-Walmart joint venture (which is into wholesale format) to start operations in Bhopal."
A similar stand has been taken by another BJP Chief Minister, Raman Singh of Chhattisgarh, he maintained.
Azad was invited here by Jal Sangharsh Samiti, which is agitating against a water supply privatisation project in Khandwa town, around 350 km from Bhopal.
The AAP leader, addressing a gathering organised by the Samiti, criticised the BJP Government's proposal to hand over water management in Khandwa and Shivpuri to private firms.

Stephen Bruno's two-run double to left field in the top of the ninth inning Thursday night helped the Tennessee Smokies erupt late for a 7-2 win over Chattanooga before a crowd of 3,964 at AT&T Field.
The loss was the third straight for the Lookouts, who fell to 11-15.
Tennessee broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning when Rubi Silva walked, took second on a hit batter, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Charles Cutler's sacrifice to center. The Lookouts had pulled into the tie in the fifth inning on consecutive one-out doubles to left by Chris O'Brien and Ozzie Martinez.

Biomet Inc. today reported second fiscal quarter earnings of $4.9 million, an improvement of more than $70 million compared to a loss of $66.2 million during the prior year's second fiscal quarter.
The Warsaw-based orthopedic supplies manufacturer recorded $122 million in special items for the quarter ended Nov. 30. Without those expenses, earnings would have been $127 million.
Biomet also posted consolidated net sales of $826 million for the quarter, a 5 percent increase from net sales of $790 million for the same period of 2012.
Jeffrey Binder, president and CEO, said in a statement that that the sales growth was strong across multiple products and geographic regions.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Hitting the road this Thanksgiving holiday? You won't be alone. The triple-A forecasts a four percent increase in people traveling at least 50 miles from home. That's compared to last year. And we'll be spending more, too. Thanksgiving airfares are expected to be 20 percent higher. Gas prices are also up. The triple-A says in Virginia alone, gasoline costs 52 cents more per gallon than last Thanksgiving.

Most of us aren't airline pilots (apologies to many who are, and who live here thanks to DFW Airport). So most of us never look out the front window as our big jet heads through a cloud.Most of us look out the side windows, see nothing but cloud and hope somebody up there knows for sure what's on the other side of it.We're seeing a lot of cloud these days when we look at the future of the accountability system for Texas public schools.We don't know whether the sun is shining on the other side.We know the system that is coming for our neighborhood schools and school districts will be different.Education Commissioner Michael Williams last week said what he believes it will look like. But he also acknowledged that the Legislature is considering bills that would address the accountability system from different angles, and he said any changes approved by lawmakers before they adjourn May 27 will have to be folded in.He said he's moving ahead with plans to give schools A, B, C, D, or F grades beginning in 2014. He likes that idea, but not everyone in the Legislature does.Switching from the exemplary, recognized, acceptable or not acceptable ratings in place for several years was one of several changes in a major education bill passed by the House, HB5, but A-F grades were stripped out by the Senate.The system laid out by Williams is different in about every way imaginable by people who aren't education experts.It will use a "performance index framework" rather than what many people see as an over-reliance on standardized test scores today.Districts and school performance will be given pass/fail ratings in four categories:Student achievement. This is much like today's system, based on test performance across all subjects.The big difference is that the ratings will focus on the performance of all students in the school or district, without looking at that of the racial, ethnic and economic sub-groups that can lower ratings in the current system.The index for this year's ratings is that schools will be given a passing grade if their test scores are at least 50 percent of the maximum.Student progress. This category focuses on performance improvement, broken down by racial and ethnic (but not economic) sub-groups as well as English language learners and special education students.In this category, passing schools will be those that show better progress than the lowest 5 percent of schools in the state. That means about 383 schools out of more than 7,600 in Texas will fail on this measure, according to Texas Education Agency documents.Closing performance gaps. This category focuses on bringing economically disadvantaged students and the lowest-performing racial and ethnic groups up to what is considered advanced academic achievement.Passing schools will be those whose low-performing students reach at least 55 percent of the advanced performance goal.Postsecondary readiness (applies only to grades 9-12). This is dropout rate measure in reverse. TEA says passing schools will be those in which 75 percent of the students "receive a high school diploma that provides them with the foundation necessary for success in college, the workforce, job training programs or the military."Many people see today's system as too "all or nothing." Williams' plan would enable school districts to point to one or more of the measures in which they rate well rather than live under a single good or bad label.That is, they can once they understand how the system works.Suzanne Marchman, a spokeswoman for the Texas Association of School Administrators, says they're not there yet."This new system is even more complex than the previous one," she wrote in an email to the Star-Telegram Editorial Board. "It will be a challenge to explain to parents when we are struggling to understand the nuances of this system ourselves."Sort of like that cloud outside the window of the airliner.

It is another Mario game. Do you enjoy Mario games? If yes, buy it. If no, do not buy it. Tough decision, I know.
With Streetpass play, and the upcoming addition of downloadable levels, it's a no brainer for me Plus, yeah, it's a rehash of what we've seen before with New Super Mario Bros on DS but with much more replayability, I think, with the addition of Coin Rush. Go and get it!

'So much to learn--so little time--and I can't even find information on the subject of breast cancer.' Those were my thoughts almost 13 years ago when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. How I wish there had been something of the caliber of THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO LIVING WITH BREAST CANCER at that time. This book should be in the hands of anyone facing a breast cancer diagnosis, as well as their families and friends. It includes many practical facets of dealing with the disease. To me, the sentence which best sums up the importance of what this book provides the reader is found on page 37--'Knowledge is power, so it's important to be an informed consumer.' Frequently I receive calls from women (and sometimes men) who know someone who has been diagnosed, or perhaps they themselves have been diagnosed. 'What can I do that will be helpful?' 'What are the right things to say?' 'What are the right things to do?' One of the most helpful things to do, in my opinion, is to see that the person has access to practical and accurate information such as that found in this book. What better way to say, 'I'm thinking of you and I want to be of help.' This book is written in such a way that the reader can focus on the issues that are especially important at any given time. It deals with the gamut of topics--from biopsy to surgery to vocabulary to chemotherapy to radiation to lymphedema to reconstruction to support groups to helpful websites, etc., etc., etc. . . and it does so with the right balance of levity. Who says we can't have a chuckle or two while reading about a serious subject matter? A special 'thank you' to breast cancer survivors/authors Sharon Sorenson and Suzanne Metzger for so thoughtfully and thoroughly covering a subject matter that is so important to so many people in our lives.

This book is a great source of easy to understand information that encourages hope for any anyone suffering from breast cancer. Or for anyone who wants to better understand what a family member or friend is going through. I am truly appreciative of publications like this which helps people of all levels understand what this disease is all about. I really liked the personal touch from other Breast Cancer Survivors. It lets you know you are not alone while fighting this disease.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Fabulous book -- the one 'must have' book on every woman's bookshelf. All the information you need about breast cancer is here, in clear-easy-to-read format. I'm buying copies for all my friends -- and their families. Congratulations to the authors for writing a vital book and helping millions of women (and men) around the world.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Posted October 5, 2000
Annually, about 185,000 women (and a few men) face the diagnosis of breast cancer, and the numbers are on the rise. If you're one of those diagnosed -- or know somebody who is -- you understand that fighting the disease is a down-and-dirty war with lots of skirmishes and full-blown battles on the way to victory. The good news is that at this moment over two million survivors -- vibrant, active women making significant contributions to their families and communities -- carry the victory flag. How do we authors know about these folks? We're two of them. We're survivors who have been through the surgeries and through the treatments, and our battle scars have left us with a keen sense of empathy. We firmly believe that nobody should have to face breast cancer alone. Ever. So as we put words to paper, we visualized an in-print support group -- messages from breast cancer survivors who shared their stories and offered the 20/20 vision of hindsight. Some have carried the victory flag for 20 years or more; others are still in the battlefield, reporting from the front lines. And trust us when we say that these front-line warriors fight with a courage and determination that have humbled us day after day. If you've found yourself drafted into the war against breast cancer -- or know someone who is -- this book offers the support you need, from the first hint of a lump or suspicious mammogram through surgery and treatment and on to follow-up for the rest of your life. But this book goes beyond the basics to attend to those dozens of details you'll face before, during, and after surgery and/or treatment. We'll help you through the emotional turmoil, family and financial issues, decisions about treatments (what they are, what they do, and what side effects they can cause), controversies over breast reconstruction versus prostheses, surgery's effects on personal appearance and clothing choices, changing priorities, and the risk of recurrence. Finally, we'll suggest ways you can make positive contributions, volunteering support for others new to the battlefield and committing to advocacy issues to someday bring an end to this terrible disease. In short we'll be there to get you through all the battles, with hugs and cookies from home. May your battles be short and your victory sweet. Kindest regards, Sharon Sorenson and Suzanne MetzgerWas this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Sony sued for dropping Linux from PS3
@re: the suit has no legs
Courts have held, repeatedly, that EULAs aren't valid.
Other courts have held the opposite of course.
Apple to acquire music streamer Lala?
I'll need a new music store soon I suppose, since I'll be getting a please install itunes page instead of a functioning website.
Apple voids warranties over cigarette smoke, users say
not honoring the warranty because they ruined the computer with smoke is one thing, but biohazard?
Animal lovers say no to radioactive NASA monkeys
These are cage raised animals, not wild ones. Why on earth would you go all the way to South America and 'kidnap' monkeys instead of getting them from a breeder?
Punked US Chamber sues faux press release pranksters
The takedown was wrong regardless of Yes Men's actions.
Even if the fake falls under trade dress or some sort of defamation tort (which it might), its still a violation of the DMCA to use a DMCA takedown notice for a purpose not related to copyright.
Gay man offered lesbian neighbours slug pellet curry
Its relevant that the women were lesbians because this would be considered from a hate crime angle normally, its relevant that the man was gay because it reduces the chance that it was a hate crime.
Packing heat gets you shot, say profs
Try the FBI statistics. They tend to lack details like these, but there's much less spin.
DoJ urges court to reject (unedited) Googlebooks pact
This does not give Google any copyrights.
Anybody can take any book Google puts up and reprint it in any way they want without fear of action by Google.
As for people who don't want Google reprinting their stuff, fine, come forward, Google will *pay* you to tell them to stop using your stuff under this deal. Probably a lot more money than anything considered an orphaned work is worth too.
EchoStar ordered to pay TiVo (another) $200m
It's about time.
Hopefully Dish will have to shut its DVRs down this time, and explain why.
Nothing will get the American people moving at this point except stealing their TVs.
Snow Leopard arrives with meow, not a roar
vista BSOD
Vista likes to hide its BSODs, but they happen. Watch for random shutdowns, or going to a black screen and locking up. Thats usually a BSOD, and Vista is hiding it to make itself look better (you can usually find the code in the event log to confirm if its an actual BSOD or not).
Getting as many as the kid describes though... He probably didn't install any updated drivers. Or his hardware is just crappy quality.
Google Book Search - Is it The Last Library?
Those copyright owners who haven't come forward will be free to do so under the settlement. Google has agreed to establish a registry for them to file claims with. Not only that, Google has agreed to *pay* them for each work they claim.
There might be a number of things in there that don't represent real orphaned works, but under the terms of the settlement, that won't last.
Mechwarrior maker claims Microsoft 'destroyed' studio's culture

Internet junkie detox center claims US first
"Symptoms include... carpal tunnel syndrome."
If you use a computer you're addicted to the net, even if that computer has no internet.
"The American Psychiatric Association currently does not recognize internet addiction as an actual disorder"
And I don't recognize the APA as being able to tell the difference between their head and the stick up their ass.
"addicted to browsing the internet, gaming, or even text messaging."
These people can't tell the difference between an Internet and gaming dependency. Which means they didn't even read the research in question.
"discovery quest," "life quest," vocational skills, "reflection group," a "mindfulness" session
These will not help with dependency. These will make the patient hate your guts, and resist any future attempts at treatment.
"12 step program"
Not useful without weekly treatment, this is pretty much begging for a relapse in a treat and release setting like this one.
Google turns up nose at ebook monopoly claims
Starting a new project.
There is no need to start your own project to scan books, just swipe all of Google's hard work (they have no copyright themselves). Google has actually *lowered* the cost of entry to its competitors.
And while competition is certainly better, are you people seriously so paranoid about Google that you'd rather not have the service exist at all?

Hackintosher aims 'blazin' guns' at Apple

Barnes & Noble chases Amazon with ebook second coming
Since Amazon doesn't allow non Amazon DRM to run on the kindle 2, that would be the implication (and necessity) of selling to Amazon customers.
EU calls hearing over Google 'orphan' treatment
Scanning books
Nothing keeps anyone from taking google's scans and republishing them, so Google actually lowers the barrier to entry.
Not only that, but Google has done the work of finding out which books people claim copyright over *for* you.
Microsoft promises no patent prosecution of open-source .NET

Can I get a legally binding document on that?
Tory plan for MS, Google, others to hold NHS records floated

Amazon joins with TuneCore for on-demand CD pressing

Olympic champ's mom sues Google for dead blogger's post
@The Internet does not belong to the USA
This is a US citizen suing a US company over a post made by another US citizen. In what way is this not a US matter?
I have to agree with both sides here, if the post is defamatory, the plaintiff has no choice but to go after Google in the absence of the blogger.
Google shouldn't be taking things down without a court order either though.
Google digital book 'monopoly' feels heat
While I agree the orphaned works protection Google is getting should apply to everyone, how the hell is that Google's problem? Or in the scope of this case?
Microsoft cries netbook victory against Linux

Linux gained 400% of its previous marketshare... And MS had to cut profits, reducing their warchest in the future. This is victory, just not a big one.
Asus unfolds dual-screen laptop/e-book reader
Asus is starting to piss me off
They need to stop showcasing things I'm not allowed to buy yet.
Microsoft sues GPS maker TomTom
@Gene Cash
Linux definitely infringes according to this filing. The FAT file-system pieces MS is claiming violates its patents are in the Linux software tom tom uses.
On top of that, this looks to have been launched by a new VP. We'll see how well the OIN thing works I guess. TomTom losing would be very bad for Linux though.
Judge strips MS 'Vista Capable' lawsuit of class action status
Mixed feelings
I'm disappointed that Microsoft won't have to bankrupt itself paying people off for the Vista Capable debacle. But personal feelings aside, I'm forced to admit the judge is right. The majority of people who got vista capable notebooks probably don't *want* Vista. And some of the ones who do are probably OK with Vista Basic (its cheaper after all) So a class action suit isn't really appropriate.
Saving ISPs and the music biz: Is it even worth it?

Apologies after teacher's 'Linux holding back kids' claim
McCain campaign sells unwiped Blackberry for $20
McCain's physical ability
McCain is perfectly capable of using a computer (physically) or was in the past, he could have crippling arthritis now or something. He was a pilot after getting out of the POW camp (eventually, he spent a long time learning to walk again), and held a desk job that would have required using a typewriter. The only lasting injury is that he can't lift his arms above his head. Which sucks, but won't keep you from using a computer (I know a sys admin with the same problem).
Harvard prof slams US nut allergy hysteria
What happened to avoidance?
While obviously you need a non nut alternative for anything as common as nut allergies... why the hell can't the kids just not eat nuts?
It only ever took me one bad reaction to learn to avoid certain things as a kid, or has hystaria grown so bad that they're afraid kids will suddenly develop a fatal allergy even though they've been eating them for years?
While we're at it, ban tomatoes in the schools, I can't eat them, and everyone else should have to suffer with me.
Microsoft updates Mac Office 2008
RTF hole
Wasn't that bug patched way back in the summer? I didn't pay attention to the MS fixes, but I know it was in my update alerts for Debian...

'Faith-based' investment firm fingers holiday's most sinful games

It even tells me which games work for which systems, so I know just the right one to get for my brother in order to piss my mom off.
US gun lobby blogs Thanksgiving gun 'facts'
Bad reporting.
Not the reg, the hunter's propaganda thing.. The CDC report shows lead levels .4 micrograms higher than the average populace for those eating wild game. Its only those that eat wild game, but hadn't done so for at least a month, that lead levels dropped. The study didn't ask participants if lead was used or something else to kill the animals.
The lead levels in all study participants were not dangerous, and were significant in only 1% of cases.
On second thought, it is bad form on the Reg for not reading the CDC report.
(Real estate) developer sues Apple over Jesus Phone browser
It is standard patent trolling to sue over a similar but not actually applicable patent. And in east Texas, its unlikely that the judge will care, or understand.

NASA mulls nuclear Moon reactor
Harder then it sounds...
No atmosphere and a lack of easily renewable water is going to make cooling this thing very very difficult. And the moons has some pretty wild temperature swings, which will mess with any kind of heat engines output pretty badly.
I guess you could supplement with solar in the daytime when a nuke plant would be less efficient though.

Bear prints found on Georgian cyber-attacks
Strategic versus tactical
Cyber attacks won't disrupt military communications, but without civilian backing a military's supply lines will quickly dwindle. Screwing up civilian communications would be invaluable in a drawn out war (though it didn't turn out that way), and is also a low impact way of getting civilians to rally against fighting. It's easy, politically, to keep troops in the thick of things forever if there are no consequences to anyone not in uniform on your side.
Also, as far as the timing goes, there must have been a delay between Georgia invading South Ossetia and Russia mobilizing, if Russia didn't actually have troops in the region (which I don't think they did.) the cyber attacks probably started early because the military wasn't ready yet.

But in addition to stats and photographs, the paved hiking trail that switchbacks up Makapuu in one big "z" holds stories. Like the one about the distinctive opening of Koko Crater, known as Kohelepelepe, which translates to English as "traveling vagina." The story goes that the clever goddess Kapo exposed her private bits in order to save her sister Pele from the clutches of Kamapuaa, the pig god. Is anyone surprised that this diversion tactic worked? To celebrate, Kapo left her mark—the rocky cliff in the shape of, well, you get the idea.
I sat in the cozy Protea Café awaiting a salad--pear and (go light on the) gorgonzola salad after a morning switch-backing Round Top Drive and hiking Manoa Cliff Trail atop Mt. Tantalus just outside Waikiki. It was another inspiring iPhone and Olloclip photography outing—an artist's date, as Julia Cameron would call it--as well as time for contemplation. It took a mere 15 minutes to get to Mt. Tantalus from Waikiki. But the psychological distance is much greater than that.

text: Grim reapers of the Congressional Budget Office by John Hayward 5 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: Boy, those guys over at the Congressional Budget Office are a cheery lot, aren't they? 1.4 percent GDP growth for the coming year, unemployment above 7.5 percent, ObamaCare's cost up to $1.3 trillion, 7 million people losing their insurance... they don't seem impressed by Obama's "poised for recovery" high-wire act, do they? And if that wasn't depressing enough, remember the CBO is generally optimistic, by design. They tend to assume programs will do roughly what they were supposed to do, and underestimate the depressing effect of taxes and regulations upon the economy. The behavior of the private sector is very difficult to forecast, but in the world of "static analysis," it functions as the obedient executor of government's plans. Obama's "poised for recovery" act assumes the economy is functioning only a little beneath its optimum level. But to truly "heal" the economy - just to get back to the workforce and growth potential George Bush left behind - we'd need years of growth above 6 percent. I haven't seen the numbers updated since the election, but if I remember the old projections accurately, we'd need four years of 7 to 8 percent growth to bring the deficit under control and restore the workforce. It's not easy to rescue the growing class of "unemployables" from the jobless doldrums; marginal workers with long periods of inactivity on their resumes don't become attractive hires until business is booming. And of course the CBO can't predict international events that would shock this weak economy into recession. No one can truly predict the effect of wide-spread credit downgrades on the cost of financing our debt; no debt of this scale has ever stood in such danger before. Responding to credit downgrades like an enraged Third World regime isn't making us look better to analysts. The damage from the last four years is deep and systemic. Barack Obama is the true "financial crisis" that we need to "heal" from.
