LPA Fights Against Dehumanizing Events
LPA fully condemns the "Wolf of Wall Street Velcro Wall Midget Throwing Contests" wherever they occur. We are offended by these events. Along with other disability rights organizations, LPA protested and called for the removal of the dwarf tossing scene in "The Wolf of Wall Street", unfortunately without success. The glorification of dwarf tossing would be harmful enough if it only contributed to cultural stigma, but it also holds the potential to motivate serious bodily injury to members of the dwarfism community. We ask that the LPA community continue to raise their voice in opposition to and this event as well as any events in the future that do not show people with dwarfism full dignity and respect.
Find a Local Contact
LPA is comprised of 13 Districts and 70 Chapters.
Districts are made of one to five states. Chapters are more locally based and are comprised of an area of the state or county. You are sure to have a local contact near you.
District Meetings occur one to two times per year (Spring and Fall). Chapter events may occur at any time throughout the year.
To get started in your area click one of the states below to find your local contacts. You will have a chapter president - someone who should be fairly local, and a District Director. Your District Director may be in the next state, but never-the-less is important for you to know for many reasons, including District run programs, scholarships and referrals.

"I used to staple sheets of paper together and make my own books. I invented a whole bunch of super heroes, including 'The Amazing Captain Underpants,' who flew around the city in his underwear giving wedgies to all the bad guys. Everybody in my class thought these comic books were really funny, except for one person - my teacher! I remember one teacher who used to rip up my books and tell me I'd better start taking life more seriously, because I couldn't spend the rest of my days making silly books. Fortunately, I wasn't a very good listener."--Dav Pilkey.

What To Stock Up On Now for Your Holiday Baking
Have you ever run out to the grocery store at the last minute in search of an ingredient for your holiday cookies, only to find that they're sold out? It's rare for a grocery store to sell out of an item but if they do, it's usually around the holidays. And for certain, the more holiday-like an item is, such as red and green colored sugar or marzipan, the more likely it is that you'll arrive only to find an empty shelf. It's better to be safe and stock up early.
This is especially true if you don't own a car or live in a large city and can't easily hop from one grocery store to another. I'll never forget the time that I took a bus to the store to purchase red and green colored sugar for my family's Santa treat, only to find that they were sold out. It was another two busses to the next store which was, of course, sold out, too. That was the year that Santa ate yellow and blue cookies.
The Basics:
It's unlikely that your local supermarket is going to run out of these, but it's nice to have them on hand for last-minute baking projects or emergency entertaining.
• An extra pound or two of butter in the freezer is a good back-up.
• If you have the room, purchase an extra 5 or 10-pound bag of flour. Store it in the freezer if you don't think you will use it up quickly to keep it fresh.
• Extra bags of white, brown and powdered sugar are necessary. Dark brown sugar is nice, too.
• Several bars of good chocolate.
• Double check your supplies of baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla.
• You can go through a lot of parchment paper, waxed paper, and aluminum foil this time of the year.
The Extras:
• Stock up on colored sugar, especially if you have specific colors in mind and double-especially if they're red or green, as well as other cookie decorations.
• It's not at all unusual for a grocery store to run out of marzipan
• Check your supply of holiday spices such as cinnamon, ground cloves, cardamom, nutmeg and be sure you have enough.
• Nuts, especially pecans, walnuts and almonds are essential.
• If you're thinking of gingerbread, make sure you have molasses.
• Fruitcakes and stolen often require candied fruit.
• Coconut is also a poplar holiday baking ingredient.
• Frozen puff pastry and frozen pie dough (either homemade or a good brand) are nice to have stashed in the freezer.
What holiday baking items are you sure to stock up on this year?

text: Study: More Auto-Related Deaths After Home Team Wins Thriller Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 8 Nov 2013 post a comment Alabama vs. LSU has become college football's top rivalry, with many calling the annual game between the two SEC powerhouses the de facto national title game. Two years ago, LSU defeated Alabama in the regular season only to lose the BCS national title game to Alabama. If Alabama wins at home against LSU on Saturday night, Alabama fans may be wise to take extra precautions on the road, especially if the game is a thriller like last year's contest at Death Valley in which Alabama's T.J. Yeldon caught a screen pass from Alabama's A.J. McCarron in the game's final moments to seal the 21-17 comeback win. A study has "found that there were more auto-related deaths in cities where the home college and pro football and basketball teams had just won by a close margin." Of course, LSU could just as easily defeat Alabama, end the Crimson Tide's undefeated season, and put Alabama's quest for a third straight national championship in jeopardy. According to the Wall Street Journal: Stacy Wood, a professor of marketing at North Carolina State University, found that there were more auto-related deaths in cities where the home college and pro football and basketball teams had just won by a close margin. This was true even when controlling for the effect of alcohol consumption. (Some studies have shown that as many as 8% of fans are legally drunk after a game.) The researchers rated the closeness of 271 games on a scale of one to five, with one being a complete blowout and five a game where the teams were neck-and-neck to the last second. The closer the game, the more auto deaths there were, Dr. Wood says. With each point the game increased on the closeness scale, there was an average 21.2% increase in traffic deaths, and a 133% increase from one to five. For every four tight games, there is an additional death near the game location, she says. Her research was published in Journal of Consumer Research in 2011. Dr. Wood speculates that fans release more testosterone, a hormone responsible for aggression, during nail-biters. Afterward, the happy fan's testosterone goes up while the loser's drops. "If you think about animals who are engaged in combat, having just won, you now feel like you could go out and continue to assert your dominance and reinforce that status and you get a bit reckless," she says. "Losers are now slinking away to lick their wounds while they're in that weakened state." Wood said she "attends N.C. State sporting events," but "makes a point of taking her time to leave the venue until the postgame traffic has died down some, especially after Wolfpack wins."

Modern spying 101: How NSA bugs Chinese PCs with tiny USB radios - NYT
What's truth?
Every empire spends billions attempting to present itself as a benevolent force for good - both to its own people and those it is conquering.
A constant trickle of facts emerge over time from various possible sources - journalists, insiders, personal experience - which show these messages to be propaganda and hypocrisy.
Snowdon has just delivered one of this generation's defining puzzle pieces (as Ellsberg did before him in the Sixties), but it will be forgotten soon enough as any national government worth its salt sets the message and tone in the long run - they establish what the majority will think and feel is real unless they question it (...and yes, there's a whole field of research dedicated to how this happens).
So, was Snowdon wrong to provide another small puzzle piece exposing the hypocrisy and lies of the U.S. being a free and democratic country operating within the law as a global force for good?
The founders of the U.S. were well aware of these issues. For them, Government is for the People - not the other way around. At *least* since Nixon (although Eisenhower's warnings about the influence of the Industrial-Military complex in the halls of power is perhaps more relevant), the corruption feared by the American Constitution because strong enough for those that are Governing to regard themselves above the People.
Now, the U.S. Secret Police regard themselves above Government, with or without Snowdon, it's the beginning of the end for the U.S. empire in the long run. The military and oil boys have already brought the U.S. to the brink of financial and moral bankruptcy. Democracy, as a means of systematic adjustment based on honest feedback from the needs of its people as they sample the environment around them is not possible, when the foxes are running the hen house. After all, can anybody here point to a Secret Police anywhere in the world, or through their actions in history, whose primary function isn't support of the ruling class rather than even the government of the day, let alone the people?
Snowdon is providing a last gasp opportunity for those in American who believe in Democracy, to react and slap the NSA, and the Military, back into their corner (which I doubt is still possible).
Cameron on EU data protection rules rewrite: 'Hold it so we get it right'
Just to put this in perspective....
... the talk on the Mainland (no, not Britain, the other side of the Channel) is that without a unified European stance on data privacy, the EU will be in a weakened position whilst negotiating the upcoming EU/US trade agreement. They're absolutely right about that. Which is precisely why Camerloony is undermining the EU, and with it, the rights of British citizens. Again.
Adobe price hike: Your money or your files, frappuccino sippers
ceteris paribus
I didn't realise "ceteris paribus" was being abused in this way. Marshall never intended it to be used as anything other than a tool for investigating complex interdependencies (i.e. similarly to the physical sciences trying to focus on one variable while holding others constant). It isn't really a get-out clause at all when you're talking about formulae for actively influencing the market.

Hitachi buys Horizon to save UK's nuclear future
The upside for Hitachi is...
...that their nuclear business is about to go Pfut in Japan but they're able to jump ship.
The main thing holding back renewables is battery capacity to smooth the generation/supply imbalances. That's a technological problem. The Germans are extremely good at solving difficult technical problems, and appear to be making good progress with this specific problem.
This is why the German government announced (last week was it?) that they're now expecting 45% renewables by something obscene like 2025. Incredible.
If there's a worry there, it's that it'll make Germany (once again) a very difficult place to fuck with militarily. It's easy to bomb a couple of nuclear power plants and make a country go dark, but much more difficult to bomb hundreds of thousands of solar roofs and wind turbines :-)
ESO's nine-gigapixel galactic image has 84 MILLION stars

@IT Hack
I suspect he understood you deliberately misspelled it. It was sarcasm. Anybody with half a braincell ought to be able to discern this.
Twitter went down for a couple of hours. The world didn't end. Nobody died. Nobody really cares. This means that the business decision (if it was one) to set the slider somewhere towards the "chancy" end of "Utterly Impossible to Take Down" (law of diminishing returns anybody) and "It'll all be fine, don't worry about it" wasn't actually SO awful. They carry on making money, running a business, and can continue to grow.
While we're on sweeping generalisations, I'm guessing you've never had your own startup which you've steered to success - by finding compromises between what you should do, and what you can actually afford, have have resources for.
Capita and pals get £500m for ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE call centre
It's all about privatisation - and brown envelopes stuffed with cash.
Well, we all know how Crapita and friends promise the world to governments, and how well they then actually deliver on time, on budget, and within their SLAs. Don't believe for a moment that *anybody* in government thinks this is going to work.
It only makes sense if you aim to provide an increasingly miserable, flawed, and inefficient service under the banner of the "NHS" such that full privatisation is seen as the "only way out" - conveniently providing time for the multi-nationals to get used to running the system at the same time so they know best how to carve it up and cherry pick. That'll be Tory policy on the NHS then.
But don't worry, we'll end up with a super efficient U.S. style heathcare system - with 15.3% of GDP being spent on healthcare while the uninsured die in anonymity and ignominy, as opposed to the terribly inefficient communist NHS which means the UK spends only 8.2% of its GDP on healthcare with dramatically better average outcomes for those who aren't fortunate enough to be wealthy or in well paid jobs.

Re: Oh, the sophistication of your whit! You have truly attained new heights of humour!

2) mmm.... long slow painful deaths to be treated with contempt. I think you've just about summed up why fox hunters are treated with contempt for their treatment of foxes. But I guess, other animals don't count for much in your world.
3) Really. That's so stupid. Didn't you get the bit about Christian bigotry, arrogance and ignorance? I'm not in whichever prettily painted little pigeon whole you've put me in. I can guarantee it.
4) Shaky? Why? Care to address any of the arguments I made? Care to say why?
Re: Oh, the sophistication of your whit! You have truly attained new heights of humour!
That come as a personal recommendation does it?
If that's your most original comeback, I don't think it's done you much good though has it.
Got anything grown up to say?
Oh, the sophistication of your whit! You have truly attained new heights of humour!
... for a five year old.
People, what's wrong with you? This stuff *was* funny in the playground, but then, as time goes by, you ought to have:
*) started developing a sense of empathy for the suffering of other children (around the age of 7, generally)
*) as educated adults exposed to Science rather than unfettered religious human centric superiority, bigotry and ignorance, cottoned onto how closely related all animals are to one another - both biologically, and psychologically. This is where your empathy ought to be kicking in a bit to cover other living creatures - our only companions on this little pebble spinning through space.
People that are indifferent to other people's suffering are psychopaths. If you are indifferent to the suffering of living creatures then I'd say you're suffering the same malady - which seems to be common among a lot of reg readers.
"Oh, it's just a joke". Really? What you find funny says a lot about your values. Propagating the idea that the world is ours to do with as we please because it's our god given right - and that sadism is fine as long as it's not people that are being bated and made to fight to the death - is about as funny as the cancer our anonymous contributor wished on Lewis Page.

China trains its cannons on digital pirates
The Capitalist Party
The important thing to notice is that China is a one party state. This party is no longer Communist, it is Capitalist, in the rawest sense. Just as during (the more catastrophic) collapse of the U.S.S.R. those in key positions within the party have made a killing, and now they intend not only to hang onto it, but to multiply it.
It should not be in the least surprising when China starts passing the harshest "IP" laws in the world, as monopolising the rights upon ideas is not just a part of censorship, it's part of the system of self-enrichment and social domination a single party state relies upon. It is a continuum.
No doubt this is why elReg is so keen on harsh IP laws, being a well behaved Tory leaning rag.
'That new Google button was our idea', claims lawsuit
Apple are getting away with enforcing far more trivial ideas...

Part of the problem with ideas like these though, are that they are elegant and only "obvious" after you've seen them - that's the hallmark of a good idea (it's not just a hyperlink).
I'm surprised these guys went to talk with anybody, anywhere in the U.S. without some intimidating legal backup. I'm even more surprised they had backers - unless their business plan was precisely to honey trap Google.

Abstraction and Encapsulation
Abstraction and Encapsulation are what we do, right? All the time? Repeatedly, recursively.
What is SaaS offering:
* "Big" components that have teams supporting them
* Processing power
* "Scaleability"
* Lots of network latency :) (aka. universal accessibility from any device)
In how many scenarios do you actually need those first three things? Not very often. Only the fourth seems universally relevant, but I could just as easily imagine your own personal infrastructure providing universal access in a self-organised P2P style.
The only way I can see it becoming mainstream for development is if the components/functionality being offered as *radically* better than you can get in an off the shelf library, and it's *cheaper* - which in the case of FOSS is going to be difficult.
I mean, I get the "dream", but I'm still missing why anybody thinks it (whatever it wants to market itself as today) is going to extend beyond being a Channel to serve consumer/business apps (which will still be developed the "traditional" way).

The difference between the Commission and the Parliament
The Parliament (with our elected representatives) has reviewed the EU's relationship with the US on data protection three times and found it woefully lacking.
The Commission, on the otherhand, is rather like the civil service. It acts in its own interests - which means the interests of whoever will offer the individuals involved the cushiest directorship or stuffed brown envelope.
This is why we have representation in government (not that they actually fulfil their purpose, sadly).

@David Given
To be fair, I only used GIT when it was "shiny and new" - but real world usage was so different to all the "it's so easy, stupid" use cases that were out there at the time. At the point where I'd lost several days due to problems with rebase, and had to start digging into the GIT source code, I had one of those blinding flashes of the obvious - "it's not worth it" - and walked away.
Perhaps things have changed, but on the otherhand, it was built for distributed open source projects. For small team driven closed source projects (which accounts for quite a lot of software development I think)... it struck me as a sub-optimal design.

Re: Extinction happens all the time
@Mitoo Bobsworth
Sure, it's all random and meaningless... but isn't it *interesting*? Isn't it *exciting* to see what has emerged from sheer chance? Wouldn't it be the opposite of utterly selfish and murderous to give other lines of evolution (which ultimately all represent a family to which we belong) a chance to continue surviving and changing?
It seems the two things which made us what we are, were a single point evolution in the density of muscle networks around the lips (leading to speech) and a wierd inheritable disease which slows down new neural connectivity (giving us time to learn)... these are things which can happen to pretty much any other line as well given time (or genetic engineering).
Re: Things that make you go "hmmmm" ...
It's astonishing, to me anyway, how many people cling to a random and arbitrary paranoid suspicion and then discard offers of evidence which might allow them to further explore the accuracy of their own opinions.
Re: Say it aint't so
Well, people like Cartman who're living in an ideological bubble (and therefore assume that their "enemies" aka. "other people not in their bubble" are also in similar spheres) seem to be missing the obvious in quite convincing fashion.
Unfortunately, for Cartman, logical deduction and evidence are not as important being, and staying, angry at the world.

China wants to be techno SUPERPOWER
It all depends how you define Race
Have you not noticed that every other surname of an "American" scientist making a breakthrough is Chinese? :-) Surveys of IQ (which, yes, are still subjective) rank your average Asian above your average European for that matter. So, at the genetic level, there's no difference, or perhaps Chinese people are on average just a bit cleverer. Is that racism?
Culturally, for millenia the backbone of the Chinese empire was a meritocratic civil bureaucratic administration. That culture produced more innovation, for a longer period of time, than any other empire in the history of man. Don't see any inferiority there.
On the other hand, since the "cultural revolution" massacred the nation's intellectuals and creatives in state organised and executed pogrom, you'd expect the shock waves to still be echoing forward through time. Stick your neck out? Not bloody likely.
That's how it was with the six Chinese PhD. students in my lab. Very, Very bloody clever. Capable. Imaginative. Creative as well. Curious. But very very cautious with letting on what they were really thinking about. Discussion of domestic Chinese politics? FORGET IT.
That's all changing now, and very rapidly. The Communist party is now, essentially, just red paint over the newly emerging capitalist classes. It is really the first truly modern capitalist nation to emerge, without any of the restraining influence of "democracy" as we know it. *THAT*'s what scares the crap out of me!

It is being released and captured. Nothing else. Oil or Helium reserves may be produced, but that's another story.
Cheap MacBook Airs for all!
Put a sticker on it
A friend's wife was complaining that she wanted an Apple MacBook for her birthday (a couple of years ago), so he did just this. He bought an HP, stuck a *really crappy* apple sticker over the HP logo, and she was, and still is, very happy with it.

I think the HUD would be nice, if you could talk to it...
If you could just say "Search. Unsharpen. 3" e.g. to search for unsharpen and then pick the third result... or "Search. Unsharpen. 3. Apply 25%". That would be fun, perhaps even useful. Of course, it'd be even quicker with a combination of voice search, and eye tracking to select the appropriate result.
Gaia scientist Lovelock: 'I was WRONG and alarmist on climate'
Re: Weak.
@Some Beggar
Not sure that's very fair. The Gaia idea is interesting (and was part of a general movement at the time of uncovering larger systems which we previously had more or less (intellectually) seen as something between "a given" and "background noise).
It is also a hypothesis, and not unreasonable. What's so crazy about the idea of multi-cellular life forms being part of a higher level multi-cellular life form? When one looks at the biology of us multi-cellular organisms (billions of tiny single-celled (and nested) lifeforms operating in the wierdest ways, well, I'm just blown sideways by the sheer complexity of the thing and how it can possibly exist at all!
The reason it isn't so easy to falsify is because there is no really accepted and working definition of life - there are just too many exceptions to every rule.
If, however, you were to take the definition of the living as something like "that which preserves its own identity" (Maturana and Varela I think) then I'd say that maybe the unexpected levels of self-regulation we *might* be seeing *might* be a symptom of "Gaia".
The joy of science is keeping and open mind, and then trying to pin down what's really going as best we can... and this is a fascinating topic with a lot of work left in it, I'd say.
'Asteroid mining company' makes classic hypegasm debut today
Re: Lots of money to be made?
:-) That's a great tune! Well... I guess it's like the Gold Rush... once the hype's in place and everybody wants to get up there, it's the people selling the provisions and infrastructure that'll make the real money. That's what their play is aimed at achieving, right?
Techie stages 'strip down' protest at TSA 'harassment'

You're a potential threat, and so should be forced to wait in line to be scanned, poked (sometimes), oggled and prodded by nasty bored small minded oafs, just like the obedient piece of meat you are.
"I'm not a threat, look I'm Naked."
You're a potential lunatic, psychogically unhinged, frightening the children by not being a threat, and therefore must be arrested immediately.

RIP wind power: Minister blows away plans for more turbines
Re: Laugh? I nearly cried.
Thanks for the headsup at any rate. I don't know enough about IFR to hold an opinion, so I've written to ask a few people who'll know better. It's been a long time since I trusted anything that comes out of Monbiot's mouth.
As for risk assessment, I'm specifically talking about the risk assessments used to derive "worst case" scenarios, which if exceeded, lead to meltdown.
As for the impacts of nuclear disasters, there's shockingly little information out there about the scale of long-term civilian deaths caused by particulate contamination. The biggest scandal of all is that there have been no (that I or anybody I have ever spoken to am aware of) systematic and major studies into the impacts of Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Windscale (which was a dramatically larger event than made public at the time) and even now... Fukushima. Most of the hard data I've seen is coming from amateurs in Japan collecting and analysing the radioactive content of things like car air filters.
Re: Laugh? I nearly cried.
Why don't you try following the link I provided, then post your insightful critique.
As for the benefits of progressive technological society etc. being linked to cheap power... that's the most moronically simplistic statement I've read in a while.
Re: Translation...
Well that's a shock, they do! So... that's 1 MP out of 650. I can see why the Greens are causing the regime to tremble at the knees.
It's 4 out of 577 in France for that matter....
In the EU parliament it's 46 out of 754....
Still can't see where the Green's are getting their arm wringing power from.
Re: Laugh? I nearly cried.
Have you read anywhere in my comments that I'm anti-nuclear? or anti-science?
1) The reactors we have now are not safe - their risk assumptions are inadequate, so are their designs, so is their regulatory oversight, so is the responsibility of their operators.
2) The reactors we are about to build are only marginally better.
3) Providing more, and cheaper power for people to make more wasteful things, with any incentive to optimise on energy efficiency removed, is stupidly short-sighted.
The true costs of Nuclear, and doing it right, are astronomical. If that's the only option we have in the short - mid term, then we should bear those costs and do it correctly.
However, it isn't the only choice. Ze Germans will be at 35% energy from renewables by 2020 on current forecasts, while its labs and universities are cranking out fantastic improvements in fundamental and applied technologies at a cracking rate - because their government has the foresight to realise that this is another market in which their industry can become a world leader from day one!
More than that, the really HUGE scientific and industrial movement which is beginning to gather pace is the hydrogen economy. With those little solar panels on your roof, you can split rain-water into hydrogen and oxygen to fuel your house, your car, your computer, whatever you like. This is the real shift that so many people aren't seeing, and the reason why solar is so much more than just pushing subsidised energy back into the grid. (It's also very IT by the way, I was talking to a researcher last week working on nano-fuel cells for powering mobile devices... interesting stuff).
The British were the world leaders in the seventies. I doubt very much, if every last program hadn't been gutted both in the U.S. and the U.K. by the Regan/Thatcher axis, that we'd even need this discussion now.
Re: Translation...
What could possibly make you believe this?
The Greens have no power in the U.K.
Where are their representatives in Parliament? Totally locked out by First Past the Post.
Where is the strong arm of the 90's "grass roots" political movement? Infiltrated and broken up by undercover police spies who clearly don't mind a bonk on the job while they're at it.
Do the "greens" have any leverage in the U.K. at all? Economic? No. Through the upper social strata? No.
All power in the U.K. is held by those who already have power and the self-interest to use it for their own enrichment. The principles of the Labour movement are long dead. The LIberals are in their grave. The Tories are in the hands of the bankers.
You seriously, for one moment, think that the Greens have got the power to twist anything in the U.K. ? With what? Public opinion? What a joke.
Re: Laugh? I nearly cried.
Ever heard of the Black Swan?
I was raised down the road from Hinkley Point (nuclear power plant). There have been tsunamis in recorded history, in S.W. England, that were well beyond the design spec of Hinkley Point.
Think that's stupid? Watch this and see how well design assumptions for U.S. reactors hold up.
As for minimal contamination... you're misinformed, both about the nature of the contamination, its quantity, and its range.
Re: Laugh? I nearly cried.
You'd love to believe that cosy propaganda wouldn't you.
Care to read an alternative take on the wonders of the most modern passively cooled reactor design in the world (the Westinghouse AP1000)? http://fairewinds.com/content/fukushima-and-its-impact-upon-westinghouse-toshiba-designed-ap1000-atomic-power-plant
What about the alternatives? Those wonderful thorium reactors? They sounded like a good idea to me, until my brother and his wife (both research chemists engaged in research for the nuclear establishment, specifically in the fields of corrosion and containment) scared the living bejesus out of me about the toxicity of the waste byproducts.
Re: Laugh? I nearly cried.
If you take the axioms of the current paradigm as immutable - continual economic expansion based on the exploitation of limited natural resources... then your point of view makes sense.
On the otherhand, if you see humanity as having experienced a series of (often sudden) fundamental paradigm shifts, where all the old assumptions go out of the window - and accept that what we accept as given now is just part of the paradigm in which we were born... then you might have a slightly broader perspective on the options that are available to us as a species.
Your analogy just shows that you can't see an alternative way to progress, which is why you see more ecologically sensible alternatives as a form of regression.
Laugh? I nearly cried.
"But the mandatory aspect of the programme, and relaxation of supplier obligations and removal of an independent complaints service, made it appear suspiciously like a producers' racket."
That'll be nuclear power then.
In the meantime, Fukushima has shown PWR's to be faulty by design (containment vessel unable to withstand the pressure of hydrogen buildup), Tokyo was more heavily contaminated than is being reported, and the greatest dangers of Fukushima are still to come (the fuel rod stores, one of which went critical, are still in an impossibly dangerous state).
We need less power, and less consumption, with more efficient devices, and more intelligent energy storage (such as the proposed Icelandic hook-up reported here on elReg just a couple of weeks ago, which is all just a pale shadow of what Buckminster Fuller was proposing in the 60's with his global solar grid).
Bring on the tory downvotes.
CAPITALISM without PROFITS - Welcome to the Instagram Era!
What's the real story?
Two thoughts strike me as plausible :
1) Facebook knows that to maximise its IPO value it needs to get as many people aware of the fact that it's happening - to build maximum hype - and I'd say they've achieved that very nicely with the Instagram purchase.
2) Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but I wouldn't be surprised if the same V.C. are behind both Facebook and Instagram, or if not the same V.C. , then the same backer is behind the V.C. This means the money would basically just be going in a circle raising P.R. It also wouldn't surprise me if it was some meaningless stock swap.

New bikes
09 November 2011 10:41
KTM has done the electric dirtbike industry a massive favour with its latest promo. The clip, which shows the lithe, 'leccy Freeride E tearing up Barcelona from bedside to BMX track brilliantly articulates the benefits silent motive power can have.
The power of e-dirtbikes to vaporize indignation and opposition to riding from non-riders should not be underestimated. Without leaving a sneering two-stroke snarl or death-metal four-stroke blart it honestly becomes hard to argue that any of what they're doing should be illegal. It all looks like harmless fun. Which…. It is.
There's also an equally fab new video promoting the Freeride 350, a road-legal, 'fun', dirt bike powered by a 350cc single and weighing just 99kg. If this doesn't make you want to ride a trail, text your family and let them know you passed away:

Silent bike, noisy music
Since the whole attraction and USP of their electric bike is its quietness, why have KTM issued a video with loud, pounding background music? The silence is drowned out, defeating the whole point. Duh!

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Brand new information in a bad crash that shut down a busy Cape Coral roadway.
WINK News is learning the names of the four people who were hospitalized after their pick-up truck lost control and rolled over. Two passengers were thrown from the truck.
It happened on Veterans Parkway, between Santa Barbara and Skyline Bouelvard on the afternoon of Saturday, May 1.
After talking to investigators, police determined that a trailer, pulled by the truck, started to fish tail. That caused the truck to lose control and separate from the trailer.
Eventually, the truck ran in to the median and rolled over, coming to a rest on the other side of Veterans Parkway.
The driver of the truck, 24-year-old Vincent Ehrhardt, suffered minor injuries. A passenger in the front seat, 38-year-old Edward Ehrhardt also had minor injuries.
Two people sitting in a rear seat, 52-year-old Mark Smith and 22-year-old Raymond King were ejected. Both were taken to the hospital with serious and life threatening injuries.
Veterans Parkway was shut down for about six-hours as police investigated and cleared the scene.

Students at the University of Sydney
Student clubs and organisations
Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness (SUSF)]]
Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness runs the University's representative, social and faculty sports programs. It also runs the campus gyms and the swimming pool ... visit the SUSF website.
On this webpage:
- Early sporting clubs from 1863, for men and women
- Sydney University (Men's) Sports Union 1890
- Sydney University Women's Sports Association 1910
- Amalgamation of the two unions into Sydney Uni Sport, 2003
Early sporting clubs from 1863, for men and women
It is thought that the first University sporting club formed was the football club dating from 1863.
Some early men's sporting clubs
A cricket club was founded 1865, and in 1866 the Senate resolved that part of the University grounds be reserved temporarily as a cricket ground.
In the 1880s many new sporting clubs were founded, including the Boat Club in 1884 and the Athletic Club in 1885.
The most successful of the new clubs was the Tennis Club, also founded in 1885. The club was allocated four grass courts where the Quadrangle was situated, close to the Men's and Ladies' common rooms, allowing the men to watch the women playing and make disparaging comments on their game. In 1887 a separate Ladies' Tennis Club was formed, the first women's sporting club at the University.
Some early women's sporting clubs
Sydney University (Men's) Sports Union 1890
Sydney University Sports Union (SUSU) was formed in 1890 for men students.
Sydney University Women's Sports Association 1910
Women's participation in sport at the University flourished in the early twentieth century and in 1910 the Sydney University Women's Sports Association (SUWSA) was founded, followed by a campaign began for grounds and facilities for women's sports.
In November 1911 the Buildings Grounds and Improvements Committee of the University recommended that three tennis courts be constructed for the women students in a position
to the east of the main front and between the curved path from the Derwent Street entrance and Parramatta Road (on the sloping ground in front of the main building). Senate granted not only the land but the cost of constructing the courts and also building, plumbing and outfitting the adjoining dressing room (later known as the Clubhouse). The courts were ready for play by 1913. These were the first purpose-built sporting facilities built specifically for the use of women.
The Hockey Club was formed in 1908 and in 1914 the SUWSA began a campaign to acquire a hockey ground. In 1916 the Senate granted the SUWSA's application, allowing use of the ground known as the Square, which lay between the Oval and Manning House. The Hockey Square was ready for use by 1921.
Amalgamation of the two unions into one, 2003
In 2003, SUSU and SUWSA amalgamated to form Sydney Uni Sport.
Several years later the name was changed to Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness.

The Bulb2LED product suite is owned & marketed by Surgite Group Inc. Surgite Group Inc. has been in business since 1995 and offers a host of products, solutions, and services to small and medium sized businesses.

Port Angeles to Hurricane Ridge, Washington
By July 4, 2013
Growing up in the Northwest, I'd spend all winter waiting for the rain to stop so I could head into the mountains and go backpacking. It didn't hurt that getting to the mountains was just as much fun as being there. Washington is dominated by elevation change, and the hills offer almost as many switchback-filled roads as towering pines.
It's hard to pick just one, but for me, Hurricane Ridge is the essence of Northwest driving. This 5242-foot climb from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to a high ridge above the treeline is full of fast sweepers that wind through old-growth forest. At the top, the road breaks through to subalpine meadows filled with flowers and marmots. It's one of those drives where you can't loseas you settle into a rhythm in the smoothly radiused lower section, take your time and enjoy the scenery. Views of the Olympic Mountains to the south are stunning. And don't fret about that Seattle rainthe ridge is sheltered from the drizzle by those mountains to the south. After the triplet tunnels, set the scenery aside, because the road gets amazing.
Be warned: Sunny weekends attract crowds, and the ridge highway is a biker favorite. Get the most out of the road by tackling it on a weekday morning, when you'll have the place mostly to yourself. But above all, take time to grab a deep breath of mountain air. A place like this makes even a native pause to appreciate why we put up with the rainand why we keep sweet-handling cars in our garages. Alex Kierstein
There are plenty of average hotels on the peninsula, but the smart move is to ditch the Motel 6 and stay in a historic hotel at the intersection of nice and funky. Try the Bishop Victorian Hotel in downtown Port Townsendit's historic, dog-friendly, and two blocks from the bay. bishopvictorian.com
DirtFish Rally School, less than an hour southeast of Seattle, will teach you the skill of going sideways off-pavement. They'll give you the basics and provide the cars, and the school's three-day course counts toward a Rally America unrestricted license. dirtfish.com
Great beer is as much a part of this area as flannel shirts or jagged lumps of earth. Sample or stock up at the Port Townsend Pourhouse, whichare you sensing a pattern?is 200 feet from the water. ptpourhouse.com
Washington's Olympic Peninsula houses one of the few temperate rainforests in the United States. There are hundreds of trails through the forest, but the best way to see the incredible natural beauty there is to find the Hoh River and get on a raft. The river intersects US 101 on the peninsula's west side; start there, go inland, and get wet. gonorthwest.com/Washington/Activities/rafting/rafting.htm
The Olympic Peninsula hosted the last World Rally Championship event in the U.S., during the 1980s. The Olympus Rally is now part of the Rally America National Championship. Hordes of spectators travel to watch and party with racers; join them in late June. olympusrally.com

New Google TV sets facing delays
Delay allows Google to refine software before the official launch, according to report.
Mon, Dec 20, 2010 at 02:08 PM
GOOGLE STATIC: This product image provided by Sony Electronics Inc. shows the Sony Internet TV with the QWERTY remote, powered by Google TV. Google has asked Sony, among others, to delay the release of the TVs. (Photo: Sony)
Google has asked several television makers to delay their launch of sets featuring Google TV, which merges online content with traditional TV programming, newspapers reported on Dec. 20.
The New York Times said Toshiba, LG Electronics and Sharp had been planning to unveil TV sets equipped with Google TV at next month's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
But the newspaper said Google has asked the manufacturers to delay the launch while it refines the software for Google TV, which has received some lukewarm reviews and run into difficulties obtaining programming.
"We will not be announcing a Toshiba TV or Blu-ray player or demonstrating the products at CES," Jeff Barney, vice president of Toshiba's digital products division, told the Times.
"We have an understanding with Google about the future product roadmap and will bring the right product out at the right timeframe," Barney said.
The Wall Street Journal said South Korea's Samsung intends to go ahead and showcase Google TV products at CES.
The Mountain View, California-based Google unveiled Google TV in May at a software developers conference in San Francisco.
Developed in partnership with Sony, Logitech and Intel, Google TV allows users to mesh television viewing with surfing the Web.
Sony unveiled a line of Internet-enabled television sets in October featuring Google TV and Logitech began selling set-top boxes that route Web content to existing TV sets.
Amazon, the NBA, Netflix, The New York Times, Time Warner, USA Today and others are among the companies providing content and applications for Google TV.
But US television networks NBC, CBS and ABC and the Hulu entertainment website have blocked people from watching full-length shows on their websites using Google TV.
Google is one of a number of technology companies attempting to marry the TV set and the Internet. A number of electronics manufacturers offer Web-enabled televisions or digital set-top boxes.

takes time By joel on 6/16/2014joel would recommend this product to a friendworked in about 10 weeks. still need to get rid of the source.
Intended for zeovit parameters? By Oxymoron on 6/10/2014Oxymoron wouldn't recommend this product to a friendBrennen says this product works best for someone that has a zeovit system and does regular water changes. But.. if you did that then why would you have to even dose this stuff that is for a tank " loaded with bacteria, poor water circulation, high po4.... is that how your zeovit tank runs?
Zeo system or equivalent filtration intended use. This wont help someone who doesn't do water changes appropriately. By Brennen on 4/22/2014Brennen would recommend this product to a friendThis stuff works, keep in mind the zeo system is demanding. It requires weekly 10% water changes which most people don't do on an average tank. These products are best used on the zeovit system, or a tank that has equivalent parameters. Cyano can happen in a system loaded with bacteria, heavy coral feedings, poor water circulation, and high po4. Keep in mind these products can be used on systems that do not use the zeovit method but if your tank does not hold a similar regimen it will probably not help you. For aggressive cyano problems this product works best when combined with coral snow, and zeobak mixed before dosing the tank. Ask on the zeovit forums if you need help beating the bacteria battle with this product, they are great at instructing how to use their products to the fullest potential.
Don't waste your money By Stephen on 3/21/2014Stephen wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI've been using this according to instructions for just over a month and it has done absolutely nothing to help with my cyano problem.
Don't waste your money on this. Pursue another avenue.
There are no videos related to this product.
Cyano Clean's performance can be considerably enhanced when utilized as a companion product to Coral Snow and/ or Zeozym; to safely eliminate unsightly red slime algae from your saltwater aquarium.

group dinner in nashville?
- c
- coffee_chocolate Aug 29, 2006 03:31 AM
i'm looking for recs for a group (~20) dinner in nashville. we're going ot be at a conference at the gaylord opryland resort but are hoping to escape the resort complex for dinner one night.
needs to be relatively cheap and within a 20 minute cab ride of the hotel. something uniquely southern or uniquely nashville would of course be fabulous!
many thx
For a group like that, I would try Monell's. It's a family-style southern food place with the best fried chicken in Nashville, great side dishes, all you can eat for under $20 apiece.
thanks for the suggestion nm1. unfortunately monell's doesn't do dinner on mondays, which is when we will be going out. it looks great though! i'll have to check it out while i'm in town anyway.
i'm considering rosepepper, but i don't have a feel if it's a good scene for a big crowd.
any other ideas or suggestions? please, save us from ending up at a chain or within the opryland complex!
Rosepepper is fine for a big group. You might have to split up into a couple of tables, but they've got lots of space there and are used to crowds. The drinks there are good; the food is OK. I would suggest the Alley Cat, which is not all that far from Rosepepper and has better food, but I think 20 people in a party might be a problem for them.
Radius 10 and Cabana are both supposed to be nice, and if I'm remembering right they should be able to deal with big parties. They may be a step up in price, but might be within your range. I haven't been to either of them so I can't say more than that.
There's a fantastic Mexican place called Hacienda Taqueria, very cheap, very tasty, not at all fancy (linoleum floor, plastic tables). I have seen parties of 10 or 12 there, with a bunch of the regular tables for 4 put together. It may be a longer drive from Opryland than what you have in mind, though.
You won't have a bad time if you stick with Rosepepper. The food isn't bad, it just isn't special. The atmosphere is great for a big get-together.
Consider The Yellow Porch by 100 Oaks Mall. They do take reservations - especially for a group your size. Ask for a manager when you call. Not that cheap.
The Yellow Porch
734 Thompson Lane
Nashville TN 37204
(615) 386-0260
Almost everything is within your travel range - almost. My favorite experience would be the famous Loveless Cafe - a little more than 20 minutes probably but worth it - stick with the good old fashioned Southern items though - they try some new things which I appreciate but stick to the basics. Famous for it's biscuits (and Miss Carol the Biscuit Lady), homemade jams, fried chicken and bbq.
I'll second La Hacienda on Nolensville Road just off I-440. It's where chefs go on their night out and it's fun. He moved here to start making tortillas and then opened a grocery with a little food counter and now has the restaurants as well.
A very Southern thing is Cock of The Walk just minutes from Opryland. Touristy yes but it's a Mississippi 'chain' that serves catfish and fried pickles. And they are open on Monday.
An experience that is uniquely Nashville or Southern really is the meat & three more or less and most aren't open at night. Vittles in Brentwood would be an exception but I can't remember if they are open on Monday night.
I guess something that really is cheap and unique to Nashville is HOT CHICKEN. Prince's is the most famous and the original but not for a group of 20 and probably not what you are looking for. You might try Lori Morgan's HotChicken.com on Whites Creek Pike exit of I-24 - not too far from Opryland but their website is down right now which scares me they might be closed.
After trying so many places that came 'highly recommended' by reviewers on our vacation, I am convinced that we really do have a lot of good food here so if you stick to something other than the big chains, you should be pleased. If you want to read some reviews - go to www.nashvillescene.com for some reviews and descriptions.

MONDAY, July 7, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Well-nourished, healthy and well-educated mothers who receive prenatal care have babies of similar size - regardless of differences in their race, ethnicity or where they live, a new study finds.
Conversely, poor nutrition and health seem to be the main culprits behind large differences in the growth of babies during pregnancy and the average size of newborns around the world, according to new research, the team of scientists report.
"Currently, we are not all equal at birth. But we can be," study author Dr. Jose Villar, of the Nuffield Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, University of Oxford, said in a university news release.
"We can create a similar start for all by making sure mothers are well educated and nourished, by treating infection and by providing adequate antenatal care. Don't tell us nothing can be done. Don't say that women in some parts of the world have small children because they are predestined to do so. It's simply not true," said Villar.
The study was published online July 6 in The Lancet, Diabetes & Endocrinology. While the study found an association between factors such as maternal education, health and nutrition and newborn size, it was not designed to prove that these factors caused changes in babies' sizes.
Currently, there are significant differences in the size of babies at birth around the world, the researchers explained. Babies who are small for their gestational age or malnourished at birth are often affected by short- and long-term health consequences.
The study, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, examined nearly 60,000 pregnancies in eight countries around the world, including Brazil, China, India, Italy, Kenya, Oman, the U.K. and the United States.
The women participating in the study had ultrasounds beginning in early pregnancy until they delivered to measure the growth of their babies. The same equipment and methods were used in all eight countries. Once the babies were born, their length and head circumference were also measured.
Mothers with similar levels of education, health, nutrition and care during pregnancy had babies with very similar bone growth in the womb and similar length and head circumference at birth, the study revealed.
The researchers surmised that improving the education, health and nutrition of women around the world will also improve the health of their babies.
"The fact that when mothers are in good health, babies grow in the womb in very similar ways the world over is a tremendously positive message of hope for all women and their families," said Dr. Zulfiqar Bhutta, from The Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan and the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada, said in the university news release.
"But, there is a challenge as well. There are implications in terms of the way we think about public health: This is about the health and life chances of future citizens everywhere on the planet," Bhutta said. "All those who are responsible for health care will have to think about providing the best possible maternal and child health."

Comments about Electrolux 30" Single Electric Wall Oven/Microwave Combo - Stainless Steel:
Love the even baking and the perfect turkey mode. Thanksgiving turkey has never been so easy. Great for roasting chicken too. Sensor reheat works well on the microwave. The only issue, not able to pop corn.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Disappointed
I am very disappointed with the microwave/oven combo. The design of the microwave plate is poor. It does not seat propery every time causing it to rub against the sides of the microwave which left marks on the three metal sides. It is too expensive to replace the microwave liner. The oven heats too hot from the bottom so baked items get burnt on the bottom while not getting browned enough on the top. I was looking for a microwave that was also a convection oven like the GE Monogram. I thought this was what I was buying after reading your website and speaking with the salesman. Obviously, we were both incorrect. Sure, the wave touch controls are appealing with its sleek look but if I had to do it over again I would not purchase this product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Beatiful and functional
By Riko
I bought this to replace an old Whirlpool that was about 20 years old. The cut outs back then were larger than most of the combo ovens now, and Electrolux was about the best fit. With the 3 inch trim piece, it was perfect in the near 47 inch high cutout. I love cooking now. So far I've had no problems except for once the microwave fan didn't seem to shut off after an item on timer was cancelled. It has not happened again so perhaps it was a one-off glitch. The features are great. The preset menu settings are somewhat limited, however, but for the most part, it can do anything you need. The oven doesn't heat up as fast as I would like, despite the quick preheat function. but I having nothing else modern to compare it to. Perhaps I'm just impatient. It is so feature rich compared to my previous simple oven that I was intimidated at first. As time goes on, my appreciation for how nice this oven is keeps growing.

We were reluctant to spend the extra money but all others we compared it with seemed cheap. Doors rattled when closing, etc. This unit is a solid piece that we have not had any problems with. It is very expensive and contemporary looking and its cooking has been very good and consistent. So far NO complaints...would highly recommend spending the extra $

Died after only five uses....
By Twowolf
Bought this unit as a replacement. Very excited about the looks, the features, and the fact that it was our first double oven. Have only used it "FIVE" occasions, went to bake dinner this evening and neither oven will heat up. Nothing, NADA, ZIP OH. Will have to see what service says in the morning. Not a good way to start a relationship with Electrolux.

Expensive but worth it.
By Chris
Broke down and bought the Electrolux when we were ready to upgrade our kitchen. Glad I spent the extra $$$ on it. Unit is very stylish and functional. Have only had it for a couple of months now but long enough to know it was a great investment.
