"Psychics" at the Pentagon?
Published by Malcolm P. Shiel on April 28, 2010
by M.P. Shiel
ACCORDING to Wired magazine, the Pentagon just spent $4,000,000 to learn how to read our minds. (Er, I mean read "the enemy's" minds! And we do seem to have a lot of enemies these days.) Leaving aside the question of just why anyone who could truly read minds would have any need of something so crude as weapons, this is pretty scary stuff if there's any truth to it.
'Forget the battlefield radios, the combat PDAs or even infantry hand signals. When the soldiers of the future want to communicate, they'll read each other's minds.
'At least, that's the hope of researchers at the Pentagon's mad-science division Darpa. The agency's budget for the next fiscal year includes $4 million to start up a program called Silent Talk. The goal is to "allow user-to-user communication on the battlefield without the use of vocalized speech through analysis of neural signals." That's on top of the $4 million the Army handed out last year to the University of California to investigate the potential for computer-mediated telepathy.
'Before being vocalized, speech exists as word-specific neural signals in the mind. Darpa wants to develop technology that would detect these signals of "pre-speech," analyze them, and then transmit the statement to an intended interlocutor. Darpa plans to use EEG to read the brain waves. It's a technique they're also testing in a project to devise mind-reading binoculars that alert soldiers to threats faster the conscious mind can process them.
'The project has three major goals, according to Darpa. First, try to map a person's EEG patterns to his or her individual words. Then, see if those patterns are generalizable — if everyone has similar patterns. Last, "construct a fieldable pre-prototype that would decode the signal and transmit over a limited range."…
Last year, the National Research Council and the Defense Intelligence Agency released a report suggesting that neuroscience might also be useful to "make the enemy obey our commands."…
Earlier I said that this is pretty scary stuff if there's any truth to it. Upon deeper consideration, I've decided that it's very unlikely there's any truth to it at all. Forcing people to "obey our commands"? Come on. More likely, all this "psychic combat" "research" is nothing but a racket; a con game that illustrates for us a sycophantic relationship between not-too-bright military bureaucrats carving out a comfortable niche for themselves, and clever "contractors" who have figured out a way to cut themselves in on a slice of the biggest military budget ever seen on planet Earth. (Currently, the U.S. military budget is nearly the size of all the other military budgets in the world combined.)
Since no is really minding the store (it's "unpatriotic" to notice when our war machine is misused for evil purposes, and "anti-Semitic" — even if you're Jewish — to notice that Zionists and neocons use our men as cannon fodder) — a large part of this huge sum is bound to find its way into the pockets of crooks. Better them than warmongers, I suppose.

It is okay to take loot over the objections of the raid/party in the following 2 circumstances:
They do not disclose that you're subject to some weird loot system (such as DKP or others biased against a 1 time participant) until you down the boss. At which point you're *perfectly* within your bounds to roll off against the people who would be able to mainspec the item, and need it if you win, or if they refuse to participate in a mainspec roll of the item.
Someone has already needed something "by mistake". It perfectly alright to not pass, and to need an item in this way if they never pass/greed.

How badly did Mesa want George Gascón to be its top cop? Consider this: In April, when the field of 44 candidates had been narrowed to five, City Manager Chris Brady said the new chief's annual pay could reach $144,000.
But when Brady declared on Monday that his pick was Gascón, the third-ranking official in the Los Angeles Police Department, that base salary had taken a sizable leap to $170,000.
Gascón would be the highestranking Hispanic employee for Mesa.
His hiring is notable because he is Latino, of Cuban descent, and he is coming to a city undergoing a seismic shift in racial demographics. Hispanics made up 20 percent of Mesa's popul- ulation in 2004, the latest numbers available; 24 years ago, that figure was 9.1 percent.
Gascón has said he will be a chief who happens to be Hispanic, rather than a Hispanic chief. But he acknowledges his heritage will be an asset.
"I will have the opportunity to bring to the table certain experiences and, possibly, levels of sensitivity that someone who hasn't had my background may not," said Gascón, who is bilingual.
Mesa's 1,300- employee police force has been without a permanent chief since December, when Dennis Donna stepped down. The interim chief has been Gregory T. Fowler; he was among the semifinalists.
For Brady, it's worth an extra $26,000 to hire a man widely praised as a smart, creative leader who trained under one of the nation's best chiefs and whose ethnicity matches Mesa's growing Hispanic population.
"This is a very unique opportunity for Mesa, frankly, to get one of the top police officers in the country," Brady said. "He definitely has the respect and credentials on a national level."
For Gascón to leave the department to which he's given 27 years, he had to have liked what he saw in Mesa — and he did.
"It's going to be an opportunity for me, hopefully, to improve upon what I already consider to be a very good department," said Gascón, LAPD's assistant chief in charge of operations.
The other finalist was Phoenix assistant chief John L. Buchanan. He was out of his office Monday and couldn't be reached for comment.
Brady's selection of Gascón will be ratified at the Mesa City Council meeting on July 12. Gascón then would take over the agency on Aug. 7
Mesa's Hispanic community lobbied Brady hard for Gascón's hiring, and was thrilled by the announcement.
"Especially coming from L.A., he has the skill sets and decision-making capacity to bring the city forward and bring the department forward," said Pat Esparza, executive director of the Mesa Association of Hispanic Citizens.
Magdalena Schwartz, director of Latino Community Service, said: "I will support him 100 percent."
Also firmly in Gascón's corner are the unions representing the city's police officers.
The Mesa Police Association and Mesa Lodge 9 Fraternal Order of Police believe what the agency needs now is a true leader, a man who can improve morale and give officers reasons to stay.
Joe Shelley, the association's president, said Mesa's peers in Los Angeles praised Gascón's inclusive style of communication, while FOP president Bryan Soller said he was impressed when he learned Gascón rides along with field officers monthly.
Apparently, the Los Angeles police unions' endorsement of Gascón carried weight in Arizona; Soller said an informal poll showed Gascón was favored by more than 80 percent of nearly 900 Mesa employees surveyed.
Although Gascón has been negotiating with Mesa during the last two weeks, he still has been devoting himself to L.A. law enforcement.
Last week, he was touting a police unit that would enlist builders in fighting crime. Concepts include the use of extensive lighting and surveillance cameras, and unobstructed views of parking areas and streets.
It's that kind of thinking that Brady wanted in a new chief. And it's that kind of creativity that LAPD Chief William Bratton will miss when his assistant departs.
"Mesa's gain is certainly our loss," Bratton said. "He's pretty much my right arm here."

While I ahve found over 6 threads on the Bug report forum Blizzard have yet to even publically acknowledge the issue. Many players like me enjoy running BG's as well as rated PVP, to me this is sort of like having the LFD tool broken. Here is one thread from the bug report forums: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2089281533
My question is, is this the sort of thing that WOW insider will tackle in the hopes of getting some repsonse from Blizzard?
Its ok if they need some time to fix it, but atm I am paying them money hoping that they might be fixing it...

Mar 9th 2011 11:09PM No, you are not alone there, most single target raid fights are all about getting your DOTs up and keeping them refreshed as the highest priority, then using mind flay and mind blast to fill in the gaps.
Mind Spike is purely a situational spell, its not really intended for Raid boss encounters (for the most part).
I use it extensively for burst in PVP as well.

Mar 9th 2011 10:55PM I used Psychic Horror a lot while levelling and still use it frequently in 5 mans, its handy as an interrupt on a healer, its effectively a 3 second silence. I see a lot of people complain that it takes 3 talent points to get a 5 second silence in the shadow tree when PH is just sitting there waiting for that one click.
One of the best uses for PH is straight after Mind Control, as your MC wears off you have aggro on the target so I PH the Mind Control target and the tank quickly grabs aggro off me. Means less work for the tank ;)

Is this intentional on Blizzards part? or is this just a random bug?

The town of Sarouk (Saruq) is located about 25 miles north of the city of Arak in western Iran. "Sarouk" is also used to denote the finest-quality rugs woven in the general Arak region once known as Sultanabad.
Weaving from the nearby Ferahan region influenced early Sarouk rugs. These finely woven 19th- and early 20th-century rugs have all-over patterns such as the Herati. The rugs feature a cotton foundation with pink or blue wefts. Vegetable dyes are used in their production, with green more prevalent than is usually found in most Persian rugs. Some of these rugs may be referred to as Farahan Sarouks. The design is a geometric interpretation of basically curvilinear designs. They have a close-clipped and tightly packed pile of fine yarn (Image 1). These rugs are very collectable today.
The advent of the American Sarouk began in the early 1920s. P.R.J. Ford has called them "the great abortions of oriental carpet design." This may be somewhat harsh; however, the weaving traditions of the Sarouk area were changed forever. An American company with local production in Sarouk produced a rug pattern that perfectly suited the American demand for thick-piled carpet – a sort of imitation of Axminster design – with simple sprays of flower patterns all over the carpet (Image 2). America wanted large carpets, 9-by-12 feet and up in size, with thick pile and colorfast dyes. It did not matter if the design was somewhat clumsy in the execution. The word soon spread around the villages of Arak about the popularity of American Sarouk carpets and, within a few years, the weaving traditions of the area were changed forever.
The American Sarouk was produced in the 1920s and '30s and, to some extent, the late '40s. The knots are asymmetric and the wefts are blue, with the field of the rug containing small floral sprays (Image 3).
The design most associated with American Sarouks is of detached floral sprays on a rose-red background. It has a central floral bouquet with a field containing vases, palmettes and detached floral sprays. The main border has the Herati pattern on a dark-blue ground, and the feel of the rug is a velvety, lustrous pile. They range in size from small mats to gallery size.
After World War II the same designs were found in Sarouk but in lighter reds. The rugs were lightly chemically washed but, for the most part, were not hand over-dyed. The rug does not have many cleaning problems. Due to the thickness of the pile and the tight weave (which can retain humidity), the warps can develop dry rot along the sides and body of the rug, creating slits as the warps break. The dyes used to make the rug and the over-dyed materials are light and wash fast. The rug, as it wears and loses pile, can develop a mottled look (Image 4). This can present a problem if the rug is covered with soil and the mottled look is not apparent until after cleaning. Maintaining a good working knowledge of rugs will cause you to look for potential problems unique to certain types of rug so you can pre-qualify them with your customer.
The American Sarouk was a rug designed specifically for the American market; you will see many of this perennial favorite come into your shop for cleaning.

Continuation of Epcot
After a good long nap for Aaron and another for me and Bill (parents need naps too), we decided to head back to Epcot for some more fun and dinner. First thing we did? Hit SSE for the third time of course!!
After SSE it was over to Nemo & Friend again which still had no wait at all. This time we decided to stay and hang out in the Seas pavillion. Aaron LOVES fish and this is always so much fun for us. I was VERY happy to see the area above Turtle Talk had finally been reopened with some tanks and stuff to look at. I hate seeing wasted space so that was a big deal. We let Aaron run around and look at all the "dishies" for about 45 minutes or so and then headed over to the Electric Umbrella for dinner. Bill had the bacon double cheeseburger, Aaron another hamburger kids meal and this time I tried out the chicken sandwhich. I've yet to have a truly "bad" meal anywhere on property so no complaints here. We took our time and relaxed and talked as I thumbed through our Passporter mapping out what we had done thus far.
Then it was off to find a spot for Illuminations. I figured being 8:45pm we'd never find a spot but we just happened upon a small group deciding to leave theirs just next to the gift shop (as you enter WS) and squeezed our way in.
Sorry I have no shots of Illuminations to share. I'm always way to into it to take the time to find a place to put the camera so it's steady enough for night shots with the shutter open. LOL!!
After Illuminations we sat down on a bench and people-watched for a bit as the crowds found their way back into Future World and out. Then we made our way over to Aaron's favorite... the lights in the ground outside Illuminations.
When we got there, he was the only kid there... by the time we left (about 30 minutes later) there were close to 20. Everyone misses this until they hear a child screaming gleefully to their left as they leave. LOL!!
As we made our way out I decided to grab one last shot of my beloved SSE. I can't get enough now that the wand is down. It's just so beautiful!!!
Head over to Day 4!!

Short Term Plans
Arizona airports submit a five year capital improvement plan to both the FAA and ADOT Aeronautics on an annual basis. The blast fences off runway 19 were identified by the FAA as high priority issues needing relocation and reconfiguration due to the control tower line of site and lying within the object free zone. This project was completed in 2013.
An environmental assessment is near completion for the acquisition of property north of runway 19 approach.
Additional short term projects include center apron asphalt rehabilitation and relocation of the ramp light poles to the apron perimeter, which will increase airplane safety and aircraft parking capacity.
Long Term Plans
Long term plans in the Airport Master Plan include a new taxiway on the east side of the runway with new a northeast corporate hangar area, central transient ramp, and south hangar development, all subject to future design layout.
Based Aircraft Forecast
The master plan forecast estimates a 55% growth in based aircraft by 2025. The fleet mix indicates that 20 jets and historic war birds could be based at the airport in the next 15 years. The FAA projects that business jets will be the fastest growing general aviation aircraft type in the future. The Glendale Airport is well positioned to attract this market because of its general aviation facilities, airport terminal building, adequate runway length, and the airport traffic control tower.
Annual Operations Forecast
Overall itinerant operations for towered airports in the US has declined slightly since 9/11, however Glendale Airport has experienced over 40% growth through 2006, and a steady decline since that time due to the slow economy. Business jets are anticipated to show the most growth, reflective of what is happening in the industry. The increase is also based on the continued increase in flight training, on-demand charters, and projected increase traffic for the sports venues.

I have a passion for plants with fragrant flowers; perhaps it goes back to my earlier days in our family home in New Delhi where, in the modest but well-kept garden, sweet smelling flowers could always be found. And now, after all these years, the passion has not subsided and one of the first features I look for in a plant before buying is fragrance.
So, not too long ago when on one my visits to Boulevard Flowers on Ruffin Mill Road, I accidentally saw an attractive shrub called Korean Spice Viburnum, the word "spice" sent my brain a signal, instantly; sure enough, the description on the tag indicated that the flowers are highly perfumed. Without the slightest hesitation, I purchased the shrub despite the fact we are pretty much short of growing spaces, as well as muscle power to dig holes. But a space I did find – a cozy nook near the entrance of our back yard – and a nice planting hole we managed to dig.
Though the young healthy plant produced only a few flowers last spring, this year, I had to look over and over again to believe: Right at the onset of the season, the shrub was covered with innumerable intensely perfumed clusters of white flowers, each cluster made of many small ones. So fragrant are they that, at the peak of flowering season, every time I opened the window close to the area where the shrub is growing outside, the breeze wafted the delightful scent inside the room. In fact, one day soon after, as I was escorting some friends to the back yard, they immediately sensed the sweet scent even before noticing the blooms!
Viburnums, in general, are popular landscape plants because of the many assets they posses: attractive growth habit, pretty foliage which displays noticeable color changes in fall and, of course, the flowers which are often scented. While easy to grow, they prefer a moderately fertile, well-drained soil and exposure to either full or part sun.
The Korean Spice Viburnum, (Viburnum carlesii), has truly proven to be a treasure and more care-free than I expected: the soil around the root zone is not very friendly, the location is hit by the hot afternoon sun in summer, and on top of it, I hardly ever water or fertilize the shrub. Interestingly, although the accompanying tag describes the species as being deciduous, ours retains great majority of the velvety leaves in winter. The flowering period, however, is not very long; as I began preparing this column, the shrub was covered with the pure white flowers which are pretty much gone now, hastened partially due to the unusual cold temperatures, breeze and the rain. Nevertheless, while in bloom, a short but sweet pleasure a Korean Spice Viburnum is, literally!
Gita's Tip of the Month: Once the danger of frost has passed, summer-flowering bulbs can be planted in between perennials, annuals or wherever the heart desires to enjoy the colorful display or to use as cut flowers for indoor enjoyment.

Taking sides: Which Kurt Cobain-endorsed band was the best?
Tonight, tropicalia superheroes Os Mutantes take the stage at 9:30 Club, opening for weird-rock rambler Ariel Pink. And while Mutantes first emerged in Brazil in the late 1960s, Americans of a certain age (ahem) were first exposed to the trio's joyful noise in the 1990s when Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain declared himself a fan.
2010 has been a busy year for many of the artists Cobain championed during his short life. The Vaselines reunited, the Melvins dropped a new record, the early Raincoats' albums were reissued on vinyl and the Pixies' reunion tour spiraled into what felt like its umpteenth year.
Which Cobain-endorsed band had the biggest effect on you? Click Track's contributors picked favorites for this week's Taking sides post. Read our thoughts after the jump and vote in our poll below.
Chris Richards: Warning: The following appraisal of the Wipers includes the terms "voice of a generation" and "criminally underrated." A nod from the voice of a generation can go a long way, but despite Cobain's devotion to the incredibly deserving Wipers, I still think this band remains criminally underrated. Play "Tragedy" at my funeral afterparty.
David Malitz: Had I been able to see Nirvana in 1993 instead of being dragged to a hockey game by my dad, I probably would have been utterly perplexed by Half Japanese. It wasn't until many years later that I was able to appreciate -- and become wholly obsessed and enamored with -- the outsider punk-rock brilliance of "The Band That Would Be King." But news of that opening slot for Nirvana was my first exposure to the band and I have Cobain to thank, if just a little bit.
Allison Stewart: His support of the Meat Puppets was entirely awesome. He backed them, and they became alt-rock famous, which was nice. And then they released that album with "Backwater" on it, which was a great song, even though I barely remember it now. Did it have words? Or was it just kind of mumbly? And then the Meat Puppets started to release albums that weren't so great, then one of them went to prison, and then they broke up. All of the things in that last sentence weren't Cobain's fault, though.

Mine was just spinning until 11:47 Mountain time. Got the slimy bag of a motherless goat!!!
Darn...sold out. But We am experiencing a sense of satisfaction that We at least groped it. There's always next year. This was fun and maybe We've got a shirt woot coupon and woot aquariums. It's been processing for 20 minutes.
Bullcrap, 45 minutes, clicked just about every combination. FFFFFFFF this BS. What a waste of FFFFFFFFFing time
Even if We dont get one (still processing) that was hella fun!!! thanks woot!
Come on, please say We'm all set!!!!!
We'm confused We got 2 gid koalas and a epic adventure and they are both gone from my account now. Did they get us good or is that a mistake? We have confirmation from them and PP for both...We sad now.
*sigh* Finally saw it, but the epic adventure was sold out. Oh well. Maybe next time...but not likely.
Got the adventure, Got the E-mails, and it WAS showing in my Account, and now it's not there. What does that mean???
Happy November Fool!!!
groped the grand prize, but too late. Hopefully my koala order will go through... probably more worth it than the bag anyway...

what exactly was the clue? and where was the bag?
Yay, We got a Book of adventure! Thank you, Woot Gods!!!
We got through the epic adventure and bought one, and got the "We've reserved a product for you, and are now processing your credit card..." message. my CC is fine and it should go through. But my account still does not show the epic adventure sale! however, when We tried to solve the puzzle again (as We was prompted to in the last piece of puzzle) They said We could try again and again. so We tried and got thru once again. but this time We got a message that "You have already purchased this item" and cannot do so again. We know share the wealth and all, but the message after solving the last adventure was misleading.
sssssaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttt. Mine made it through, not that anyone cares!
alison0313 wrote:Has anyone who purchased around 1:20 est been approved?
Just now got it!
We's got a Bog of Adventure. OUr precious.
It disappeared from my account page, but We have a payment verified from PayPal. Interesting...
When We first came onto woot at 1:05 AM EST, We wondered whether all woots were going to be adventure mode. Then We realized it was November Fools. Way to get my hopes up, woot.
OK now that it's sold out, someone clue me in on how the heck you got to it? We read every description word for word. We tried every link along the way. We got to koalas, We got to knives, We got to all sorts of things, but no bags.
Got my Bucket of Chitlins!

I have to say, though, that there are certainly instances when I know it has gone too far. I am finding more and more overly AJAX-ified sites which seem to be increasingly focused on how many items on the Web 2.0 checklist they can cross off and less on the usability principles which will give their visitors the smooth and comfortable experience they deserve.

Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Solyndra LLC, the bankrupt solar- panel maker under investigation related to a $535 million loan guarantee from the U.S. government, persuaded a judge not to appoint a trustee to take over its bankruptcy case.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Mary Walrath in Wilmington, Delaware, denied the request of the U.S. trustee, an arm of the U.S. Justice Department that monitors corporate bankruptcies, saying at a hearing yesterday that "this case does not rise to the level of failure to disclose that would mandate the appointment of a trustee."
Walrath allowed the company to hire R. Todd Neilson as chief restructuring officer to replace its chief executive officer. I think the "appointment of a CRO is a good compromise," she said.
The solar-panel maker filed for Chapter 11 reorganization on Sept. 6 and was raided two days later by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Solyndra, based in Fremont, California, said it had assets of $859 million and debt of $749 million as of Jan. 1. When the petition was filed, the company said its secured debt was $783.8 million.
Solyndra's collapse prompted congressional scrutiny of President Barack Obama, who praised the company during a May 2010 tour of its facilities.
Based in Fremont, California, the company faces probes by the FBI and Republicans in Congress over a $535 million federal loan guarantee it used to build a $733 million factory.
Congressional Committee
Solyndra Chief Executive Officer Brian Harrison left the company earlier this month after refusing to answer questions from a congressional committee about the solar-panel maker's collapse two years after receiving government-backed funding.
Harrison and Chief Financial Officer W.G. Stover asserted their constitutional right not to answer questions related to a criminal matter.
The U.S. trustee argued the company's management needs to be displaced because of the distractions the investigations pose and its refusal to answer questions about customer contracts. A Solyndra executive, Benjamin Schwartz, refused to answer a question about $1.2 billion in contracts referenced in a 2008 company statement while being interviewed by the trustee's bankruptcy analyst, Jeffrey Heck, according to the U.S. Trustee.
"The overarching requirement is for transparency, and they can't erase that or trump that," Lisa D. Tingue, a lawyer for the U.S. trustee, told Walrath. Tingue said the U.S. trustee lacks confidence in the company's board of directors and is also concerned that Stover remains as the company's CFO.
Walrath sided with Solyndra's lawyers, asserting there was no evidence of fraud or mismanagement.
'Highest and Best'
"Now the company can move forward and get the highest and best offer for its assets," Richard M. Pachulski, a lawyer representing Solyndra, said in an interview after the hearing. He said the request for a trustee was "unnecessary."
The company received court approval last month to hold an Oct. 27 auction to sell its core assets, including the Fremont factory. The timeframe for the sale may be extended to until about Nov. 16 to Nov. 18, Pachulski said.
Solyndra won approval yesterday to hold an auction from Nov. 2 to Nov. 5 for assets that aren't essential to the business going forward.
The case is In re Solyndra LLC, 11-12799, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).

Department of Physics and Computer Science
has a keypad entry system for most of its teaching labs, since certain courses will require students to access these labs outside of scheduled lab periods.
Labs are generally accessible from the first days of classes until the last day of exams of each school term.
Who can access the labs?
Most access falls into one of the following categories:
Microcomputer labs (N2085 and N2095)
Keypad access to labs is generally reserved for students who need to use software only available in these labs (i.e. not in the other microcomputer labs on campus). Usually this means students in any physics or computer science course
at or above second year level.
(PC/CP120 is also included due to the use of digital design software. CP104 and CP114 may also be included.)
Electronics labs (N2082, N2083, N2093)
Access to these labs outside scheduled lab time is usually due to assigned projects, and will depend on the course involved.
Students using these labs will be informed if and when they have keypad access.
For other access, such as for students working as research assistants for department professors, contact
Terry Sturtevant
When can someone access the labs?
This differs by course, but in general there is no access between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. due to university policy of buildings being closed over that period.
How can someone access the labs?
To access one of the labs, proceed as follows:
If the green light is flashing, type in your student ID.
(If the green light isn't flashing, the keypad is not working. See
Terry Sturtevant
in that case.)
Type in your birthdate, in the form YYMMDD
(If your birthday is September 27, 1988, you would then type 880927)
(for "Enter").
If access is granted, the green light will come on, and the door will unlock.
If access is denied, the red light will come on, and the door will remain locked.
If you have any questions, contact
Terry Sturtevant
in N2092A.
Who designed the security system?
This system was designed and built by students in our own
Honours Computing and Computer Electronics
program. (The plexiglass plate is to allow people to see what's inside, since it's kind of neat.) It's an example of the kind of projects available to our senior students.

Its called a Utility Easement!!! Look it up!!! They could have made him move those Trees from DAY 1!!! They don't have to pay ANYTHING, unless the trees were there BEFORE the lines were put in at witch point they would have paid to have them removed!!! Sorry dude, your not going to win this one... The trees will be taken out... Either PAY for the stumps to be removed yourself, or deal with trying to hide them... Be thankful you have a power grid that keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter!!! There are worse things in life than a STUMP in your back yard!!!

Historian John Steele Gordon, writing on Barack Obama's economic policies in the April issue of Commentary, says that the president's plan to raise taxes on high earners and increase regulations on business will curtail job creation and slow economic growth.
This is nominally an article about cap and trade, the carbon-reduction strategy proposed by Obama that sets an absolute limit on emissions, and allows corporations or governments to trade emissions allowances under that overall cap. Gordon discusses how that theoretically environmentally friendly strategy would have severe economic consequences in places like Elkhart, Indiana—one of those places in the Midwest with a huge unemployment rate and an entrenched, failing industry. Elkhart manufactures RVs. The author points out, validly, that the drawbacks to these sorts of environmental laws would be felt more by working-class people in Indiana than by the "bi-coastal elites":
The cap-and-trade tax will inescapably and adversely impact the economic recovery and future growth rates. If passed, it will act on the economy as a whole exactly the way a governor acts on a steam engine, increasingly resisting any increase in revolutions per minute. With the supply of licenses to emit carbon dioxide fixed, the price of the permits will inevitably rise as economic activity picks up. That means that any increase in overall demand will increase the price of energy, and thus, in a feedback loop, nearly everything else. That will damp down demand. The more the economy tries to speed up, the more the carbon tax will work to prevent it from doing so.
A carbon tax would have consequences, but Gordon's point is also ridiculously over-simplified. In the first place, Gordon ignores the way policymaking actually works. As a result of industry lobbyists and legislators' desire to attract certain voters, the carbon tax will be altered and amended as it comes up for reauthorization. No matter what the carbon tax looks like now, it will surely be modified to promote economic growth in certain sectors.
The other point is that, despite certain creepy parallels, this is not 1930; emitting carbon is no longer the main byproduct of economic growth. Ours is an increasingly technological economy, and the best American jobs—those the country ought to create and improve—don't necessarily require big carbon emissions.
Gordon's basic argument is that the underpinnings of Obama's economic strategies don't really help the little guy. But, then, Gordon's gloss on "the little guy" is decidedly odd:
We have become overwhelmingly a country not of haves and have-nots but, one might say, of haves and have-yachts (including the land-yachts called RV's). Over 3.5 million families today have net worths in excess of $1 million. Three-fifths of American families own financial securities in their own name. Millions more count on pension fund investments to make their old age comfortable. Only about 10 percent of non-farm families owned their own homes in 1936. Today more than 60 percent of American families do. This gives them the substantial financial assets that only the "rich" possessed in the 1930's. The sort of desperate, grinding poverty seen in the FDR-era photographs of Walker Evans has simply disappeared. Today, even people of modest means enjoy a level of comfort, security, and even luxury undreamed of when Roosevelt was president. It is not the bicoastal elite that buys RV's. RV's are the vacation homes of the middle class. Plumbers talk about their 401-K's and factory workers send their children to medical school.
Come on. "The sort of desperate, grinding poverty seen in FDR-era photographs" did not "simply disappear"; in fact, it disappeared—to the extent that it has actually disappeared—as a result of concerted public policy designed to address it. The mere fact that there has been an increase in the number of rich people does not mean there has been a corresponding decrease in the number of poor people. In fact, the top 1 percent of American households owns 33.4 percent of all the country's wealth. The bottom 80 percent of American households own only 16 percent. Some 35.9 million people in the United States still live below the poverty line.

"Oh, hey Chris."
"You know, just playing basketball for a little."
"Yeah, I saw that. I was there actually."
"Right, right. Because you're me."
"Right … so?"
"Not much going on really. Just kinda hanging out here by the elbow, waiting for a kick-out or something. Might grab a rebound later."
"Cool. Hey, LeBron's passing it towards us."
"Oh nice. Wait just a second man. Can I put you on hold for a second?"
"Yeah, no problem."
"Pretty nice shot, right?"
"Yeah, we nailed it. Smooth."
"Thinking about doing something crazy with my face to celebrate. What do you think?"
"The tongue thing?"
"Yeah, probably. Feels right to me."
"Me too."
"Oh yeah. GREAT call. You really nailed it, Chris."
"Thanks, Chris."
"So what's your plan for the rest of the night? More jumpers?"
"That's what I'm thinking. Nothing really set in stone but I'd like to toss up a few more shots, maybe throw down a dunk if the lane really opens up, then I'll probably play Draw Something with Adrienne later."
"Sounds like a busy night."
"Well, you know I like to keep myself occupied but I'm kind of too busy to really modify any of my computers right now, so that's just a little thing I can do and not really worry about anything."
"Other than that, I don't know."
"OH! We could brainstorm some viral videos! We love brainstorming viral videos! Blane Harrington! Tall Justice! Let's do it again! Third time's the charm, Chris."
"Sometimes, Chris, it's like you just know what I need to hear. Sometimes, you just get it."
"Thanks, man."
"Brainstorming a new hit character sounds awesome. Meet me in the throne room downstairs at 10:30. I'll bring the posterboard, markers, pipe cleaners, felt and paste. You bring the brilliant sketch ideas. This sounds like fun. See you there."
"You mean, see me there."
"Ha. Good one, me."

A Florence couple died Wednesday when their car was struck by a pickup in northern Georgia.
Dalton Police Department spokesman Bruce Frazier told a local paper that Charles Beckett, 81, pulled out of a motel parking lot in front of the truck just before 7 a.m.
The pickup struck Beckett's car on the driver's side door. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
Donna Beckett, 73, a passenger in the Chevrolet, also died, the paper said.
The driver of the pickup was not hurt.
Dalton is a popular stop for travelers on Interstate 75.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Arguments & Analysis at a special discount!
'From the West Bank: the Palestinians are ready'
(David Shulman, New York Review of Books)
"An American veto in the Security Council, if it comes
to that, is no trivial matter this time; it will mark
yet another critical milestone in the decline of
American power and influence in the entire Islamic
world. The spectacle of the Americans vetoing what is,
in effect, their own policy on Palestine-for narrow
electoral reasons in the United States-will itself
constitute a major Palestinian victory. Yet symbolic
achievements such as this, however important in the
long term, may not be enough to keep the Palestinian
moderates in power. Eventually-perhaps in the not too
distant future- Israel's rejection of the option for
peace with Abu Mazen will almost certainly lead to a
Hamas takeover of the West Bank, with incalculable
'A Saudi-Iranian Cold War takes shapes' (Rami Khouri,
The Daily Star)
"This rivalry and open confrontation seems to be
driven more from the Saudi side than the Iranian side
for now, because the Saudis feel more vulnerable that
their world, as they know it, is threatened with
change. Their ferocious response, which contrasts with
the traditional low-key Saudi style of diplomacy, is a
sign that the kingdom feels in danger and will take
the initiative to protect itself. A new regional cold
war is taking shape, adding to the threats the region
is already facing from the repercussions of the
Arab-Israeli conflict."
'Egypt's government: designed for dictatorship'
(Mohamed Elshahed, Al Jazeera English)
"Egypt's government is designed for a dictatorship: It
is extremely centralised and tightly controlled by
national policy, and local councils are void of power.
Although Cairo's three governorates have separate
budgets and various departments, they largely depend
on the country's ministries, led by presidentially
appointed ministers, to care for essential elements of
the urban environment: housing, schooling, transport,
parks, healthcare, etc. Governorate budgets largely go
to paying salaries rather than public spending. There
is no unified city government with elected local
officials and a mandate to effectively manage the
city. Instead, governors do the occasional
ribbon-cutting, and make hollow announcements
regarding randomly selected projects that suit their

2012 Anti-Football Run
I drooled at the MR2 and CR-X… but only because they are from my childhood.
The MG with the bed in the back is gorgeous, though. I want one.
I like how he executed the tailgate. I'm imagining hinges hidden behind the overriders.
Is it too much to hope that the rear plate is hiding a receiver hitch?
That looks like an awesome event. I love living here for a list of reasons, and these pictures show 2 of the highest on that list. I actually recognize a few of those cars. I'll have to remember this event next year. Maybe I'll have The Brick running and looking good by then so I can fit in a little better. Or I'll just bum a ride from one of my vintage-owning friends.
Guaranteed no dirty looks at a Volvo at a Seconds Saturday event in Oaktown
Hopefully I won't get any for the GTO either, since I am not holding out much hope of getting it running by April… :-/
Goats are welcome to graze as well.
Definitely a Bucket List event for me! I have heard only great things about the event – nice people, eclectic group of cars (as the photos above show!!!!) and the scenery/roads are awesome.
Note to Hooniverse: Can we be made aware of events like these BEFORE they happen? I would have loved to take PLUSH or the tow truck out and hang with other like-mined enthusiasts. Or threaten to tow them away.
Just found out that its from the California Mille folks and that they are starting their own Cars and Coffee event in fancy pants Sausalito. I might need to go to the February event and try to recruit some folks for the March Seconds Saturdays event.
I love cars of the 80s and I'm glad to see such a nice looking CRX!
I can't remember the last time I saw one that didn't look tatty or even worse, completely molested… Great!
I bet you Tonyola liked that too <img src="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/money/galleries/2010/autos/1006/gallery.top_mpg_since_1984/images/2_1986_honda_civic_crx_hf2.jpg"> And by the way, Jim Yu took some great pictures!
I'm not the only one thinking "there's something wrong with that Sebring" every time I see a Flavia, am I?
You should get your Flavia Flav adjusted.
Wonderfully eclectic group for a jaunt. I'm so jealous you can just set off on a local ride like that from SF.

I saw "200T" and wondered how a W123 with less displacement and more weight would even make it up the hill in the first pic… Then, I click the link and see it's a gasser with the fivespeed manual! So jealous.
My thoughts exactly at first. That red paint is really eye-catching in person.
That's an impressively diverse group. Jags, Alfas and Porsches mixing it up with a CRX and some classic American iron. Did I see a brown '57 Eldorado convertible in there?
Does nobody out there own a Corvair? Am I going to have to ship mine (and me) out there to fix that?
I know there are Corvairs in the Bay Area. Well, at least one, and it runs: http://g.co/maps/rjkc9
I've seen it driving about (I pass by it on my way to the BART station every time I head into the office).
Umm, err, if you mean the red car with the black roof . . . that's a Valiant. Sorry.
That's just jaw-dropping. Around here you just get muscle-cars, or you get fart-can Hondas. Amazing diversity and I like how nobody seemed to worry what they parked next to.
I knew I'd regret bailing on it again this year…
