Neuromancer is worthy of neither love nor hate. I just find it peculiar that such a big deal is made of it. The beginning of The Two Faces of Tomorro is here:

Not necessarily but I think there are people with anti-scientific attitudes who claim that they like stuff they call science fiction.
They seem to make a big deal about world building and characterization and don't care how bad or indifferent the science is in a story. A common response is, "when I want science I'll read a real science book". My suspicion is they don't read real science books.
I think Joanna Russ explained it in 1975.
Star Wars is not didactic though it is entertaining. I think C. P. Snow's Two Cultures is relevant to this also.

Thank you for the articles. I think I see your point. What you politely term as "anti-scientific attitudes" I simply call "lazy and ignorant" (a category where I place myself sadly). Most of us I suspect are very weak on the sciences and find it "too much trouble" to enlighten ourselves when confronted with areas of science we know nothing about even with the world wide web at our fingertips. We either take it at face value or give up particularly if we need to stop and research every other paragraph.
My feeling is that this genre offers to the most freedom as the sciences are constantly evolving. Having never experienced interstellar travel ourselves we can only speculate what it's like based on what we know and that is constantly changing. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that the scientific disciplines are not necessarily exact and therefore anything goes (well, almost). So sometimes we force ourselves to turn off our brains for a moment in order to enjoy a entertaining story so be it.
Still, I do sometimes go back and look up some of the more interesting aspects of the science in the stories to better understand what's going on and so I do learn something.
By the way, I haven't given up on the circular orbit (hopefully it's not a trick i.e. circular orbits are not possible!).

I think a considerable part of the problem is people who want to seem smart making this stuff more difficult to comprehend than necessary if it is properly explained. I have experienced that so many times I trust books a lot more than most people, usually men. But even the majority of books are not great.
The planet problem is fairly easy if you approach it right. I had more trouble figuring out how to set the velocity with the mouse.
Put the planet at 200 units straight above the Sun. Then set a velocity perpendicular to gravity from the Sun. I first tried a velocity of 40. That was too fast. Then I tried 20, which was too slow. So I just experimented until I got the right number.
The smart aleks behave as though science is all about math which helps them look intelligent. But it was EXPERIMENTATION that led the people with REAL BRAINS to find the right equations. The math was derived from the empirical data but most of the people teaching this stuff who have memorized the equations talk as though math controls and is more important than physics. The physics does not care.
The velocity at a distance of 50 has to be double the velocity for the distance of 200.
So there is a 2 to 1 and 4 to 1 inverse relationship. The velocity must increase in inverse proportion to the square of the distance. Science fiction from the 50s and 60s that was mostly about "flying" around the solar system had lots of orbital mechanics. But now that everything is interstellar and we still don't know if that is possible the "physics" is more "fanciful".

I usually write SF based pretty tightly on existing science, so as not to fall into the hole of hard science speculation... it's a slick tightrope to walk, researching the science, trying to postulate a supposedly workable premise, being able to describe enough of it to convince your readers, then building your story around that.
When I wrote Verdant Skies, I based the science therein upon a number of articles, mostly from Scientific American, about quantum theory and universal constants. I read up as much as I could to convince myself that the idea I was developing was reasonably sound. Then I bounced it off of a friend with a good science background, to see if it worked for him (it did). Then I built the story, confident that the science would not throw it off-track.
Actually, the book is more about the story, characters and situation than it is the science; I just wanted to make sure the science wouldn't leave readers laughing or puking so hard that they couldn't enjoy the story.
I've also been guilty of accepting one bogus piece of SF--for instance, FTL flight--within a more concrete universe, for my Kestral series.Last edited by Steven L Jordan; November 28th, 2011 at 10:23 AM.

Don't forget some action. I've recently read some good books that had almost NO action (heart pumping chases, fights, etc). And, to me, i just feel like something was missing. Political and social conflict is great, but get in a scrap or 2 if you can. Good luck

Let's face it. The stars and exoplanets are VERY far away. So unless you are using ships that take years or decades or centuries to reach other stars then the stories can't be done. We can all accept this.
But it is still possible to say something meaningful about science with BOGUS science.
That is why Komarr by Bujold is one of my favorite stories.
Bujold uses wormholes for interstellar travel. As far as we KNOW they don't really exist. But she has some rebel patriots develop some new technology that affects these wormholes. But the physics does not work the way they think it does and it backfires on them.
That tells us something about reality and science. Reality works the way reality works. It is incapable of caring what people think. Get it wrong and the unexpected happens. To a certain extent it is the same message as The Cold Equations.

We all used to "accept" that a person on the north end of the planet couldn't see and talk to someone on the south end of the planet in realtime. What kind of magic could possibly do that? But we found a way to do it that required the discovery and application of technology a quantum leap from that which came before.
Our present understanding of physics has given us only brute-force methods of getting to other planets. But to assume that we will never learn more than the level of physics we know now, or that we might never discover a way to travel through the stars that doesn't require brute-force methods, is akin to a Roman stating that we'd never have television.

When do you think someone reached the north pole and knew there was a south pole?
People knew about radio by the time they reached the north pole.
The US explorer Frederick Albert Cook claimed to have reached the North Pole on April 21, 1908 with two Inuit men, Ahwelah and Etukishook, but he was unable to produce convincing proof and his claim is not widely accepted.
Peary's sledge party "at the North Pole," 1909. From left: Ooqueah, Ootah, Henson, Egingwah, Seeglo.
The conquest of the North Pole was for many years credited to US Navy engineer Robert Peary, who claimed to have reached the Pole on April 6, 1909, accompanied by Matthew Henson and four Inuit men named Ootah, Seeglo, Egingwah, and Ooqueah. However, Peary's claim remains controversial. The party that accompanied Peary on the final stage of the journey included no one who was trained in navigation and could independently confirm his own navigational work, which some claim to have been particularly sloppy as he approached the Pole.
Considering that they just began noticing that the rate of expansion of the universe was increasing around 2000 there are obviously things in physics's bag of tricks that we have not figured out. So FTL "travel" cannot be totally excluded. But since no method has been worked out any FTL could be legitimately called "unscientific" at this point in time. That does not mean some really great sci-fi stories can't be based on it anyway.
December 4th, 2011, 07:27 PM #28
This is known as the hard SF fans' FTL loophole to the I'm going to call your book fantasy because it's based on stuff I find unscientific but my authors can do what they want and it's real SF argument. It's interesting that FTL always gets excluded in these things. But I agree that many interesting science fiction stories have been built around FTL, quantum physic theories, etc.
December 4th, 2011, 10:22 PM #29
I did point out that before 2000 it was UNKNOWN that the speed of expansion of the universe was increasing. So that is PROOF that there is still MYSTERY PHYSICS loose in the wild. The anti-FTL argument is really that mass could not ACCELERATE to the speed of light speed because Einstein's equations cause the mass to increase and approach infinity. So if there is some way to get where we want to go in less time than it would take light to get there without actually accelerating then voila.
500 years ago people could not control magnetic fields. So is using such a field to levitate a steel ball "magic"? In part sci-fi is the writer attempting to imagine what cannot be done yet. Of course that means they are inevitably sometimes going imagine what cannot be done at all. That is why I have no objection to science fiction and fantasy being classified together. I just insist there is a quite fuzzy line separating science fiction from fantasy.
But a decent science fiction book should not get the KNOWN Science wrong or convey the attitude that science is unimportant. Every writer has the right to play as fast and loose with his writing as he wants, it just means some of it is not going to be sci-fi. I don't consider Hyperion to be science fiction just as I don't regard Heinlein's Glory Road as science fiction. I also think that since the 70 science fiction has been invaded by liberal arts people who don't know or care about science and want to write stuff they CLAIM is science fiction and lots of readers don't care. Why should the publishers care? To them selling a book is selling a book.
But now our educators are talking about the STEM crap.
Science is a way of thinking. I believe that exposing young kids to "realistic" science fiction at an early age can help create a scientific perspective of reality. Fantasy is imaginative but it requires no "rational" limits. Like Vinge with his packs has separate minds supposedly communicating acoustically. I think it is interesting but ridiculous. Trying to carry enough data with sound and the amount of brain power required to encode the data. Imaginative but ridiculous.

Worst in SciFi
Congrats BillyTooma on your recent publication. I love time travel, but I think what's equally important is what people don't like in sci fi. For me, I don't like too many silly aliens with things like ridged heads, antennas etc. Other worldly life forms must be well thought out and not tacky.

French model Tom Nicon, who has fronted fashion campaigns for Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Versace and Hugo Boss, died instantly after falling four floors from his apartment window in Milan on Friday, according to police in the city.
The 22-year-old attended a fitting for Versace in the morning and was due to go to a meeting with his modelling agency, Success, in the afternoon, but never turned up, detectives said. He was found dead at the foot of the building soon after.
It is understood that Nicon was depressed following a split from his Italian girlfriend, with police in Milan confirming that they are treating the death as suicide and investigating leads that he suffered from a "complicated affair of love". Organisers of men's fashion week in Milan stated that the shows would go ahead in tribute to Nicon.
A police source said: "We have spoken to the friends he was staying with and they have told us that he had recently broken up with his girlfriend and was depressed.''
Donatella Versace added: "Tom was with us on Friday morning for a final show fitting. He seemed fine and calm. He had already done three or four shows with us and he was a sweet boy. I just can't understand why he did what he did. We would never have thought he would do something like this. When we heard the news we were all so upset and we still are so very sad."
Nicon's suicide follows a spate of similar deaths to hit the fashion industry in recent months. In February, Alexander McQueen took his life in London after allegedly struggling to come to terms with the death of his mother Joyce. Then in May, French model Noemie Lenoir, who had previously fronted Marks & Spencer campaigns, attempted suicide after taking what's believed to be a mixture of alcohol and drugs, and was found unconscious by a dog walker in a forest on the outskirts of Paris. Last year, South Korean model Daul Kim, who had worked for Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, Vivienne Westwood and Gap, was found hanged in her Paris apartment after apparently suffering from depression. She was just 20-years-old.
An anonymous poster on men's fashion blog Issac Likes tried to shed some light on the series of deaths, writing, "People think we are young and beautiful and rich and happy. But we're not. We go to castings and the directors take one look at us and then we're dismissed. You spend your whole life wondering what's wrong with you. Why didn't I get that job? You're competing with your friends, you're away from your family. The pressure is huge. It's not the fairytale life people would expect."

Heroes, mercenaries and unwilling brides
The Global Issues Film Festival returns to Flint, showing us more of the world in which we live.
The human condition is examined through film, providing a fresh view of world without the filters of mass media, in the Winter 2007 Global Issues Film Festival Jan. 31 through Feb. 3. From conscientious objectors in Israel to challenging corporate power and the ethics of forced marriage, the festival, sponsored by Kettering University and Mott Community College, brings global issues to Flint.
Literally messages in a film can, these documentaries will educate and inspire viewers with their stories of courage and hope, warnings of potential danger and open analyses of hard truths. All films are free and open to the public.
The Winter half of the 2006-07 festival features five films, sponsored by the GM Sullivan Fellowship Program, the Greater Flint Arts Council, the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs, Mott Community College and Kettering University's Department of Liberal Studies.
The Winter 2007 films are:
Raised to be Heroes - Wednesday, Jan. 31, 6 p.m. (54 minutes)
A film by Jack Silberman and Tracey Friesen
They will fight for their country, they will die for their country, but not in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Raised to Be Heroes introduces the latest generation of Israeli soldiers to selectively object to military operations undertaken by their country. Capturing a moment in the ever-changing political landscape of the region, the film uses the unforgettable experiences of Refuseniks to inspire an essential dialogue about peace, democracy and personal responsibility.
McLibel: Two People Who Wouldn't Say Sorry - Thursday, Feb. 1, 6 p.m. (85 minutes)
A film by Franny Armstrong
McDonald's loved using the UK libel laws to suppress criticism. In the longest trial in English legal history, the "McLibel Two" (Helen Steel and postman Dave Morris) represented themselves against McDonald's #10 million legal team. McLibel is not about hamburgers. It is about the importance of freedom of speech now that multinational corporations are more powerful than countries.
Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan - Friday, Feb. 2, 7 p.m. (51 minutes)
A film by Petr Lom
The first film to document the custom of bride kidnapping, an ancient marriage tradition in Kyrgyzstan, a former Soviet Republic in Central Asia. When a Kyrgyz man decides to marry, he often abducts the woman he has chosen. This film documents in harrowing detail four such abductions, from the violent seizures on city streets to the often tense negotiations between the respective families, and either the eventual acquiescence or continued refusal, and sometimes death, of the young women.
Shadow Company - Saturday, Feb. 3, 1 p.m. (86 minutes)
A film by Nick Bicanic, Jason Bourque and Remy Kozak
In the late 20th Century the distinction between soldier and mercenary became blurred. The recent use of private military companies (PMCs) in Iraq has been more extensive than at any time in modern history. Shadow Company explores the moral and ethical issues private military solutions create for PMC employees, for the Western governments who foot the bill for their salaries, and for everyday citizens like you. So what is really at risk?
Can't Do It In Europe - Saturday, Feb. 3, 3:30 p.m. (46 minutes)
A film by Charlotta Copcutt, Anna Weitz and Anna Klara ?hren
Looking for a truly unusual tourist spot? How about the silver mines of Potosi in Bolivia, where you can don helmets, gloves and overalls and descend into the dark, stiflingly hot, and polluted mines to watch real Bolivian miners at work? This new phenomenon is called 'reality tourism,' whereby bored American or European travelers seek out real-life experiences as exciting tourist "adventures," where you are witness to working conditions that should have gone out with the Middle Ages.
The annual Global Issues Film Festival sponsored by Kettering University and Mott Community College continues its tradition of bringing provocative films to Flint. This collaborative festival includes the work of independent filmmakers from around the globe, representing a variety of voices and viewpoints. The festival is sponsored by the GM Sullivan Fellowship Program, the Greater Flint Arts Council, the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs, Mott Community College and Kettering University's Department of Liberal Studies.
How to get to Kettering's McKinnon Theater:
The Theater is located in the Academic Building at the corner of Third and Chevrolet Avenues. Access is through a rear door off the parking lot behind the building, or through the door facing Third Avenue with the sign board outside. Students and/or signs will be placed throughout the building to guide patrons to the theater entrance.

Do you know which prisons in the Virginia Department of Corrections offer programs that give male inmates the opportunity to assist with training dogs? Every prison program I have ever seen on Animal Planet has only been available to female inmates in other states. There have been rumors circulating that there is a Virginia prison program that offers specialized training for difficult dogs before adoption. From a win-win perspective, I can definitely see the benefits for inmates dealing with depression as well as the much-needed one-on-one intense training and attention that difficult dogs would receive. Prior to my incarceration, I owned three beagles and five cats. If such a program actually exists in the Virginia prison system and I were eligible, I definitely could see the mutual benefits for the dogs as well as myself. I decided to ask you because you are considered a national authority on animals and your prescribed remedies for ailing pets never cease to amaze me. Thank you for your assistance.
S.S.M., Virginia Beach, Va Mar 28, 2010
I agree that it would be a win-win situation for selected male inmates to have the opportunity to join a dog-socialization or basic-training program, even advanced training for assistance dogs. I say "selected male inmates" only because some may be incarcerated for spousal abuse or other violent crimes that are often associated with cruelty to dogs and other animals during childhood and adolescence. The www.Paws4Prisons.org Web site details an assistance dog-training program at the women-only USP Hazelton facility in Bruceton Mills, W.Va. And there is another program at Stafford Creek Correction Center in Walla Walla, Wash. I would encourage Virginia and other state and federal prison authorities to accept dog training as part of inmate rehabilitation for selected male as well as female inmates, and to implement similar programs in their correctional centers.

CAIRO - Wearing a cream-colored hijab, a veiled anchorwoman has appeared on Egypt's state television for the first time in decades, drawing a wide support in the pivotal Arab country.
"To be fair, veiled anchors were severely discriminated against, Sally Zohney, a member of Baheya Ya Masr, an Egyptian women's rights movement, told the Los Angeles Times on Monday, September 3.
There were many veiled women with the right qualifications but they weren't allowed to appear on television.
Hijab: What's It All About?
New Egypt: Rebirth of a Nation
A veiled anchor appeared on Egypt's state television on Sunday for the first time in its five-decade history.
Wearing a delicate make-up and cream-colored hijab, the presenter, Fatma Nabil, read the evening news bulletin.
"The appearance of a veiled announcer on Egyptian television for the first time is a victory for freedoms and does not diminish (freedoms) as some imagine, Samih Toukan, commented on the issue on albawaba website.
Is barring a veiled woman from presenting a program freedom?"
Under the ousted regime of president Hosni Mubarak, veiled anchors were banned from appearing on state television.
But the ban was reversed after the election of Mohamed Morsi, the country's first democratically-elected president.
Information minister Salah Abdel Maksoud said Saturday that more hijab-clad female anchors would be allowed on state-owned TV networks.
"This is a case of personal freedom. There is no problem," Khaled Atef, a bank employee, told Reuters.
He stressed that the move should not be considered a political gesture.
The reversal has won a showering praise for putting an end to a decades-long discrimination against veiled women.
"The long unfair discrimination against veiled women has been removed after the revolution, as they were the ones discriminated against, not us," Shahira Amin, a news anchor on state-run Nile TV, who does not don hijab, told Reuters.
While welcoming the move, journalist Rawya Rageh called for deeper reforms in the Egyptian media.
"Reform in state media should be about more than appearances (veil), she wrote on Twitter.
It should be about undoing the practice of being the state's mouthpiece.
The move, however, has not gone without criticism, as some are worried that it would lead to discrimination against non-veiled women in Egypt.
"My concern now is the growing factor among viewers that this is how a woman should look like in order to be respectful or modest this is what is scary," Zohney, the Baheya Ya Masr member, told the Los Angeles Times."I'm against discrimination completely, but that does not mean society should start harassing non-veiled girls."

Charalambous, Andreas and Papadopoulos, Rena and Beadsmoore, Alan (2008) Ricoeur's hermeneutic phenomenology: an implication for nursing research. Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, 22 (4). pp. 637-642. ISSN 0283-9318
Full text not available from this repository.

Researchers and educators are increasingly implementing qualitative research methods to investigate issues of concern and interest. Hermeneutics has risen as an option for the qualitative research paradigm particularly after the 1970s. The precedence of the sciences that have applied hermeneutics as their approach to investigation is provided with special reference to nursing. In the nursing science, hermeneutics have been used extensively as a qualitative research method to investigate a variety of issues, through the lived experiences of the participants. In this paper, we introduce important aspects of the philosophy of Paul Ricoeur and we discuss the reasons why we have applied this approach in our study titled 'Quality Nursing Care: perspectives of patients with cancer and the nursing response'. The arguments that are presented here can be generalised to fit other areas of Nursing Science. Through this paper our aim is not only to familiarise the reader with Ricoeur's work, but also to arrive at an appreciation of his philosophy as a methodological approach for future nursing research.

GM to add 110 jobs and invest $331 million in Arlington, Texas plant
General Motors today made another announcement regarding allocation of the $2 billion in U.S. plant investment.
The automaker will add 110 jobs and invest $331 million to purchase tooling and equipment and expand the Arlington Assembly Plant.
Currently, the plant's 2,400 hourly and salaried employees make Chevrolet Tahoes, Suburbans, GMC Yukons and Cadillac Escalades.
"This investment will allow us to continue building award-winning full-size SUVs that offer better fuel efficiency than ever before without sacrificing the features and functionality they've come to expect," GM Manufacturing Manager Larry Zahner said Thursday. "We remain committed … Read more

An Interview with DEC
Another market research "coup" was the decision to have only one source code tree for the kernel, as was the determination to have the Alpha version of Linux as close to the Intel version as possible. One of the early projects based on this decision was to move away from the Extended Common Object File Format (ECOFF) and to do Executable and Linking Format (ELF) instead. ELF had already been selected for the Intel side, and the Intel version of Linux had to transcend the a.out-to-ELF formats. The ELF project started immediately, and the transition from ECOFF to ELF happened before Alpha Linux rolled into common usage.
Before ELF, the image sizes were enormous since every image was statically linked. When ELF came along, the entire system usage got a whole lot better. The change was particularly dramatic on the DEC Multia/UDB (Universal Desktop Box); you could run X in 32MB of memory and not use any swap space.
The third big marketing decision was that Digital would not sell Linux, but instead allow the existing vendors of Linux systems to supply the distributions and support. This led to the decision to have Digital engineering contribute back in source code (whenever legally possible) everything they had developed for Linux.
At Digital we never saw ourselves as "owning" Linux; Linux cannot be owned or controlled by anything but the worldwide Linux community. Throughout the early days we were essentially playing catch-up with Intel Linux. We were writing code, porting code and running around showing people this neat, new thing. We Digital folks saw (and see) ourselves as part of the wider Linux community. I had not even used Linux before MILO first booted it on an Alpha. Linux is infectious. Our role was, and still is, to be a catalyst to the rest of the Linux world. A good example is the Red Hat Alpha Linux release. We helped make that possible, but it was Red Hat who did the real porting work. They did it because, like us, they believe Alpha AXP is a good Linux platform. Another example of Digital leveraging the larger Linux world is the driver for our TGA (or Zlxpe) graphics adapter. This card had no XFree86 support but was being used in our Windows NT and Digital Unix Alpha systems. Jay Estabrook did a port of XFree86 for that device, and we also released TGA sources to the XFree86 project.
Many might ask why the Alpha port is important. First of all, the Alpha is the world's fastest single-chip microprocessor. Linus wanted a fast system to show what Linux could do, and the Alpha was a natural choice.
Secondly, the Alpha is a true 64-bit system, with 64-bit integers and a 64-bit virtual address space. This allowed Linus to see what the kernel would require in the way of page tables, etc. On another plane, the large address space of the Alpha allows Linux to be used in research for computing large memory models—particularly interesting in parallel systems and clustering techniques.
Third, the Alpha is a very clean RISC architecture. In the beginning, it was so clean that the Alpha did word accesses only to memory, which forced some of the kernel data structures to be redesigned for efficiency. Later Alpha chips have byte instructions, but this cleanliness of the architecture helped to set the pace for other RISC architectures.
Many folks have taken to the Alpha because they like its technology. Its purity of architecture, speed and natural 64-bit support are very attractive to technologists. There was a lot of interest from the research and academic communities—the combination of an operating system that we already knew and loved, together with falling prices of Alpha-based systems helped sales quite a bit.
Fourth was the fact that Digital was an early adaptor of the PCI bus. Although some early Alpha systems had Turbo-channel buses for backwards compatibility with our older systems, Digital started early in the Alpha system life to provide PCI support, at the same time blending in EISA and ISA support, too. This made it easier to move device drivers from Intel Linux to Alpha Linux, which would probably have been more difficult if the systems had a proprietary bus, such as the Sbus or NuBus.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Central man accused of shooting woman with BB gun while she was riding her bike
POSTED: Thursday, September 26, 2013 - 12:27pm
UPDATED: Thursday, September 26, 2013 - 4:56pm
CENTRAL, LA (NBC33) — A 21-year-old man from Central was arrested for allegedly shooting a woman in the chest with a BB gun while he was sitting on the hood of a moving car.
According to the arrest report filed by the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office, the incident happened on Tuesday, Sept. 24 shortly before 7:00 p.m. The victim told deputies that she was riding her bike in the Central Woods neighborhood when she was shot.
"The victim stated that she was riding her bicycle on Forest Grove with her friend [and] stated that a silver car…drove by slowly with the accused on the hood," the report noted. "She observed the accused point his arm/hand at her and she then heard two loud sounds of air before feeling pain in the left side of her chest."
Although the victim admitted that she could not see the gun well, she did recognize the man, who she knew only by the name of DJ. She told the deputy that she had been involved in a fight with his mutual acquaintance the day prior.
While the deputy was speaking with the victim, the car involved in the incident drove past the deputy. The deputy spoke to the driver, who admitted identified the suspect as Paul Darrell Jeansonne.
"[He] stated that the inside of the car was loaded with belongings, so [Jeansonne] rode on the hood of the car," the report noted. "[He] stated that he drove slowly so [Jeansonne] would not fall off and as they passed the two victims [Jeansonne] shot at them with the BB pistol."
Jeansonne was located at his home and denied shooting the victim. He did, however, admit that he was riding on the hood of the car.
Jeansonne was arrested and charged with Illegal Use of a Weapon and Aggravated Battery. He was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. His bond was set at $75,000.

Much like a new car, a data center starts to depreciate the minute the first spade of dirt gets turned. In a world where technology is now advancing at multiple rates of Moore's law, that creates a significant problem for IT organizations that own their own data center.
The answer to that problem, contends Server Farm Realty president Avner Papouchado, is to not build a data center at all. Instead, IT organizations should outsource the physical layer of the data center to companies such as Server Farm Realty that are building a network of data centers optimized for different usage scenarios.
For example, workloads that are not particularly sensitive can take advantage of the company's facilities in Moises Lake, Washington, which provides inexpensive access to power. At the same time, Server Farm Realty has facilities in Chicago that are ideally located in the middle of the country, and another facility in Santa Clara, Calif. that is optimized for high-performance computing applications. Further down the road, the company intends to make another data center facility available in Charlotte, N.C.
Rather than locking customers into a particular data center or software architecture, Papouchado says Server Farm Realty gives customers complete control over the servers and software they deploy on them. What the company will do on behalf of customers that most co-location providers do not, says Papouchado, is manage the procurement and deployment of the physical infrastructure the customer requires.
Papouchado concedes that for some IT organizations this is going to be a tough sell; about the only thing many IT organizations want to hug more than a server is the data center facility that houses it. But as more organizations become conscious of the fact that the data center itself is not a business asset, Papouchado argues that outsourcing the physical layer of the IT infrastructure environment makes it simpler to always have access to the latest and greatest in terms of physical IT infrastructure.
Obviously, there's no shortage of co-location facilities in the world. But in the coming age of the federated cloud, it's becoming more apparent that not only does location of the data center matter, organizations need as much flexibility as possible when it comes to determining what application workload should be running where at any given time.

Wanting to cut costs on the energy bill, especially now that temperatures are dropping for the season? Economics may be one reason to seek more sustainable energy sources, but this inventive way to heat the house is also purely fascinating.
Journalist, YouTuber, and boat owner Dylan Winter created his DIY heater using tea lights and placed inside a bread tin and covered with two ceramic flowerpots.
This creative system uses the scientific principles of convection heat transfer and, according to Winter, can heat his home for around 8 hours a day.
His YouTube Channel KeepTurningLeft shows how the method works: The tea lights are first put into a bread loaf tin and covered with a small upside-down flower pot.
The hole in the top of the upside-down pot is covered with the metal casing leftover from one of the tea lights. Then the pot is covered by a second, larger pot and the hole in the bigger flower pot is left uncovered.
This system works because the candles produce gases full of heated particles that are captured and channeled through the pots. As hot gas particles are lighter than the air, they will rise up through the top into the colder area.
What will then be caused is the cold air to fall into the warm areas and create a convection current; then heat is transferred from one pot to another, and then out of the hole.
One does not need a huge amount of money to invest in this economical heating method, either. Winter began by buying 100 tea lights from Ikea for less than a dollar, a standard loaf tin, and two different sized flower pots. In the video it is shown four candles are used for the heating system.
Sharing his invention with the world, Dylan explains that the heat from the candles warms the inside of the smaller flower pot, which becomes an 'inner core' that gets 'very hot'. As explained before, a convection of air is then created between the smaller and larger pots and this heated air comes out of the top of the homemade heater.
When asked about his heater, he said: "People have told me that judicious positioning of flowerpots help to make the heating more efficient. I did not believe it but it really does seem to work.
You get a nice flow around the [pots] and it warms the room up. You'd be amazed."
Dylan even uses the flowerpot method on his boats to conduct heat. Truly inspiring for those seeking to simplify, be more frugal with their dollar, and leave less waste, perhaps this system will warm many families this year as winter makes itself more present.

Unfortunately low energy bulbs give off little heat. It's true that burning candles over lengthy periods produces a black smoke stain around where the walls meet the ceiling but this can be easily wiped away. Anyway you have to burn quite a lot of candles to produce this. Just as soon as a couple of clay plant pots or some suitable stoneware comes my way I am going to try this. Tea lights are much cheaper from places like Wilkinsons and Poundland, 99 p shops etc. The journey to IKEA from here would produce a massive addition to my carbon footprint. There used to be a bed warming device consisting of a pair of hinged metal bowls with a 40 watt bulb in the middle but I bet this has been discontinued now on safety grounds. I don' t remember hearing of any fires caused by these though. I have a tiny flat and an even tinier shop so definitely think it's worth a try. The fork handles thing comes from a well known sketch from the show The two Ronnies over the confusion of a shopkeeper on being asked for four candles when the customer really wanted fork 'andles, it's a British joke…….
It's now midnight so before I turn into a pumpkin (also a British not quite a joke) Bye y'all. -
This is only based on a couple of minutes thinking, so I've probably missed something. But although I doubt a couple of tealights could heat a room, using the pots to store and build up heat while decreasing airflow and the number of air molecules heated, could create a useful localized radiator – especially if you're sitting next to it.
make sure the candles aren't toxic.
… in Prinzip klappt es….ein Teelicht hat etwa 25 Watt Wärmeleistung. … Nachteile sind der Sauerstoffverbrauch und der Feinruß…. Eine Kerze im kleinen Gewächshaus langt für den Frost am frühen Morgen … Ich selbst nutze eine Kerze bei Temperaturen um die 0°C für den Heizölraum, damit bleibt die Raumtemperatur mit 8°C erhalten ..
Keep Turning Left? I'm a conservative. Am I not allowed to learn money saving tips? Only libtards?
What size clay pots are used?
I will try this using candles from beeswax, though probably more in our greenhouse than in the house. Our woodstove heats the hot water as well I understand the calculations in some of the posts above but there is nothing like a real world test to evaluate something properly.
Whoa, this is counterfactual permawashing. Any fuel with a flash point as low as paraffin's is always going to burn way less efficiently than a fuel with a high flash point. Indeed, heating any space using paraffin will cost you almost 6x what natural gas heating costs.
Stop polluting the green revolution with bullshit permawashing ideas and pretending they're part of the solution.
http://enochthered.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/earth-hour-candles-and-carbon/ -
The Daily Mail? You think that is a source worth listening to for science advice? This whole putting candles in things to make a heater is a joke, and that it is getting mindlessly repeated shows that the repeaters don't know what they are talking about: the same amount of energy will be released from a candle if it is covered or not. I guess the flower pot stops some visible light photons going out of windows, but if the curtains are closed it does not matter if the IR source a flowerpot or the walls/windows.
By sitting near a point heat source a skewed judgement about what feels hotter can be made, but the laws of physics cannot be hacked with clever flowerpot placement. Nor the use of a magic bread bin.
If the candles are made from non-fossil fuels then possibly it is good for the environment, but in reality using an electric heater is probably overall less polluting!
should have tried it anon. The candles are covered to heat the flower pot. The pot is covered in another pot to form "convection" heat. I did it and it brought a 50 degree 28X18 room to 65 degrees. I'm thinkin' 2 or 3 would make it cozy. Oh and the pan is to let air go through to the candle so it doesn't go out…and as the saying goes, I typed this slowly so maybe you could understand
ugh, no one is debating that a candle will eventually heat up a room. The point here is that a candle, compared to ordinary gas or oil heating, is
(1) less efficient
(2) more polluting
(3) larger carbon footprint
(4) potentially poisonous(!) (carbon monoxide)SO DON'T DO IT. Not in place of ordinary heating, not in place of renewables heating. Just don't.
Also, "convection" is not a magic word. It means "making the heated air move through the room." There is nothing special about the double-flowerpot setup. The end. -
Forgot to mention, all those comparisons also apply when comparing the candle to electric heating. SO DON'T DO IT.
You ain't the bossa me! I firmly believe that God has complete control of global temperatures, and He doesn't care how many candles I burn. Way down south in Dixie we are having an extraordinarily cold winter. We are looking for temporary alternative heat in case of power outage. We aren't doomsday preppers but I know of at least one person who was afraid to try this due to your negative responses. May God bless America!
Oh, dear. Suffice it to say, I used this method aboard my own small sailboat in the wintertime when I lived aboard her. Winters' technique is a refinement of setting an inverted flowerpot over a candle or a gas stove burner. I've been using the updated version this winter and it does work. I'm truly green — gardening, recycling, reusing, etc. This horse hockey about the candle heater being more polluting than other forms of energy is … horse exhaust. And if I can avoid paying more money to the public, and highly political, utility companies, it's all good.
I welcome you to do as you please, and trust in God (may peace be upon him) or whatever authority you choose.
But neither you nor I have the right to debate the facts. They are not subject to argument. They are facts, laws of how the physical world works. You do us all a disfavor when you call the facts horseshit. You set society back. You offend the Creator who set those facts in place.
I do not believe life should be *about* facts; I believe it should be about spiritual fulfillment. But part of that for me is owning that boundary where my claim on my spiritual reality ends and objective facts begin. You and I share that responsibility. *Please* help me hold it. I can't do it alone.
Peter, I was not aiming anything at you personally. LOL. I was rather amused by the comments based on conjecture, not on real-life experience. BTW, my time aboard my boat was a spiritual experience. God didn't tell me to freeze in the process.
Susan, please don't call facts conjecture. If God had intended for them to be the same thing, they'd be called the same thing. Stop misrepresenting the Lord's work.
So despite y'all's ugly bickering, back to the point….
I tried this and it worked moderately well. I say moderately because several of the candles stopped burning but were melted into the liquid form due to heat.
Also, I have a 6.5″ & 8″ pot to use. So, maybe somehow the candles aren't getting enough oxygen so they stopped burning? I don't know. Also, definitely not good for a large room. Tried it in my sons room, worked ok. The livingoom, nope!!! That space was too big.
Any ideas?

Three Great Places to Meet Singles (When the Bar Scene Gets Old)
Each week, Miami dating expert Nikki Novo gives us advice on finding love in this hopeless place. Today: How to meet potential dates, even if you're not perched on a barstool and wearing beer goggles.Liliana Mora Your dating prospects at the club: Not promising.
You're sitting at Miami's hot new bar, dressed to the nines, sipping on some overpriced cocktail with an equally attractive friend. One thought runs through your mind as you scan the room for a potential date, life partner, or even just a one-night stand: "Where are all the quality people in this damn city?"
We've all heard about that one person -- our friend, our cousin, our co-worker -- who met her husband at a bar. But is that situation really the norm? Not when we're labeling every guy who attempts to buy us a drink as a douche before he even says hello. Granted, his shirt was bedazzled and his hair was greasier than the bar's chicken wings. But that's beside the point.
Let's be honest: We judge books by their covers. And at a bar or club, our skepticism is almost always at an all-time high. Although our outfit, hair extensions, and five-inch heels beckon plenty of solicitors, we secretly judge the guys who are out till the wee hours of the morning, spending $20 on a two-sip drink.
And this is exactly why our city's nightlife spots aren't the best places to find dates. Not because their aren't any quality people roaming the dance floor (after all, you are there), but because our vibe isn't genuine or inviting. It's a waste of our time when we're lugging around this kind of anti-mojo.
Let's do ourselves a favor and acknowledge that our chances of finding Mr. Right in the middle of Miami nightlife are slim. If a potential date is what you're looking for, here are a few opportunities where you're less likely to judge others -- and yourself.

Hard Facts About a Woolly Industry
Here's the not-so-fluffy lowdown on wool – and some facts that you're not likely to learn from the industry's sales pitches.
About 30 million sheep are farmed in the UK, and they are sheared of approximately 22,000 tonnes of wool every single year. This may not sound out of the ordinary until you learn that a third of this wool is labelled as "skin wool", a grim name for wool which is torn from slaughtered lambs' bodies.
Wool, far from being green, is a by-product of an industry which slaughters … Read more.

Lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon in its movement around the Earth, enter its shadow, Earth is interposed in the time between the Moon and Sun, so that normal sunlight is reflected by the Moon to Earth, is blocked by its shadow. Moon is the full moon phase ie the Sun is in perfect opposition with the Moon and the Moon is near a Lunar Node.
Given that it is a total eclipse, This means that the energy released in Misar are more intense, and that follows a few months in which you have to clear up things in our lives, detach us from the past (Moon), allowing the new to enter our lives, such will become easier. Lunar eclipse may cause major changes, energy to our strong oriented more towards relationships, can trigger all sorts of crises in order awareness need relationships in our lives, be it a relationship to work, relationship with ourselves, relationship with spouse, love, or those close to us.
Especially a full moon and total lunar eclipse, most to substantial manifestation of the astral (decisions mind şi), including harmful or beneficial aspects, but a high responsiveness at the subconscious level, which gives the possibility to connect, especially undesirable, abyssal issues, demoniace.
Research undertaken during Full Moon showed that most people tend to instinctual behavior, which drastically affects decision-making power, judgment. This is one of the reasons why it is not recommended to take decisions on the full moon, since they can be either rash, often the result of environmental influences and the different people that interfere, that the recent events that have impressed (and still are the "area" in our subconscious).
Negative influence of the full moon is ± 18 Hours from the moment of maximum. This period of influence is within ± 8 degrees of opposition aspect between the Sun and the Moon.
What is better to avoid this time: is unwise to make love during the bad influence of the Full Moon. During lovemaking, due to the merger and expansion of two lovers deep auric, there is a great possibility to take, in an unconscious, negative vibrations existing in the environment. It was found that couples who do not respect this prohibition, more often faced with problems and tensions Eurovision, who did not often have no motivation, that this exacerbates the manifestation jealousies, possessive tendencies, claims and sometimes violent verbal states, mental or physical.
What is very important to cultivate, especially in this period: common sense, detachment, humiliation, simplicity, goodwill, satisfaction and course, not least, faith in God.
It is a favorable time to practice Yoga, in general and especially prayer, tutoring immanent aspects, stari special, persuading inalte (less with the transcendent are not stimulated during the Full Moon)
With 48 hours before the time of the Full Moon astral, Tripura Sundari Day occurs, a particularly special, when the influence of this star is extremely beneficial effect on our planet. This month, Tripura Sundari Day occurs on 13 April 2014, one days privileged, being called on beauty, armoniei is universal (Tripura Sundari symbolizing the Great Cosmic Power of Beauty, harmony and divine love). It is the day when we can temper and selfish ambitions by raising awareness of our true aspirations, being a day that deserves to devote love, art, Beauty, stock full of dedication.
Aspects tutorials
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the entire surface of the moon enters the Earth's shadow. Moon does not completely disappear as it passes through Earth's shadow due to refraction of sunlight by the Earth's atmosphere into the shadow cone, if the soil does not have Earth's atmosphere, moon would be completely dark. The red lunar eclipse when explained by the fact that the light coming from the sun passes through several layers of the atmosphere and store only the red. Total lunar eclipse is called popular and "Luna sangerie" being regarded with fear and superstition, as harbingers of bad times or major social events. The duration of this eclipse will be 1 now, 17 Minute si 48 seconds and will be visible in both North America and South America.
Total lunar eclipse forms on the degree 23:16 in semnul Balantei, on 15 April 2014, in jurul orei 10:43 ora Romaniei. It's an eclipse phase that forms near Full Moon Nodes, adica Luna in Balanta gradul 25:16 is in opposition with the Sun in Aries degree 25:16 and axis-Nodes North Node in Libra degree 28: 23 in opposition to the South Node in Aries degree 28:23.
It's a total lunar eclipse associated with Lunar North Node in Libra semnififica quite clear that opportunities for future; is where we sow and reap cared October 2013 You pana and prezent. Tonul karmic al eclipsei, prevents us to the fact that our power control is minimal, and we are to "hand the stars", then they will decide what we will reap.
North Node in Libra forming the Lunar Eclipse we must take the lessons of our past karmic balance, both achievements and failures of the brightly lit moon eclipsed by asking us to walk a new path that offers harmony, pace, beauty soul divine.
During this game astral lights and shadows, Sun backed South Node in Aries, is a habit that clings equally as selfish battle, nevoi staff, with explosive behavior, forgetting others, needs and feelings. The action is devoid of tact, defies, este obraznic, necooperanta, egoista aroganta.
These are problems that will highlight the cosmos in the near future and praying often, even forcing us to look in the opposite direction, to follow the path of lunar North Node in Libra mean a future that promotes peace , diplomacy, balance, equitable relationships, mediation, harmony.
South Node in Aries conjunct the Sun found in XI home can be a challenge because the habit can provide a so-called comfort of some friends, groups of people, hopes, Protectors, gifts from bosses, South Node is comfortable but not necessarily healthy habits for our future.
At this time we are required to recognize and give up these habits that represent true bottlenecks, and develop the potential offered by the North Node in Libra, in our soul will know the state of contentment and harmony.
A Lunar Eclipse is talking about endings, something ending in a significantly( can not be forgotten, tone due to karmic), the Lunar Eclipse in Libra and V are highlighted in house personal relationships, Business, love, children, school, pleasures of all kinds, Personal creativity, entertainment.
Governor of the Eclipse is that Venus is in the sign of Pisces in the house so IX . In astrology veche, says that an eclipse of Venus is the precursor led a quiet time on earth.
Venus in Pisces makes now a trine aspect with Jupiter in Cancer, ii have here the two are in harmony astral beneficial both as signs and appearance, This shows that we can reap beautiful in the next period especially through personal creativity, by children, in careers, in relation with foreign, by faith, by what we give to others, even love is rewarded with a rose astral and in many cases, Sky prepares karmic ring.
Lesson brought by the eclipse of the Moon in Libra can not be ignored especially cardinal signs Libra, Ram, Rac, Capricorn ( those born around the time of 15 April, July, ocrombrie, January), who will feel the greatest impact they.
An eclipse acts as an astral for personal growth, evolution. Sometimes, sudden change caused by an eclipse frees us from antiquated models , The international behavior very intretinute is de lene, de frica, an inadequate job of our mission of.
Eclipses are unpredictable, Uranian have something in them, do not ask if you want change but you are forced to do, and the more we resist change even our life becomes more difficult, therefore our attitude should be as flexible, We passed easily detach, sa lasam in urma blocajele si balastul karmic, to be able to benefit from greater openness to the future, and the harmonious integration as our life lessons, on earth.

Current Time
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
A long trek over twisting roads filled with sudden perils (abrupt turns, steep drops, goats, cows) leads to Rancho Pescadero, a 12-room resort six miles south of laid-back Todos Santos, on a prime piece of the Pacific coast dotted with surfers, whales, and little else. Casual is the rule hereyou're greeted upon arrival by one of four "guard" dogs (which will likely lick your hand and roll over for a belly scratch). Manager Christine is the one-woman welcome wagon/bartender/yoga instructor/dog wrangler, who will provide free drinks and snacks in return for the latest Sunday New York Times or New Yorker. George, the de facto concierge, dispenses fishing advice as fast as he uncorks your Chilean cabernet franc. Beyond lounging by the pool, activities are few (yoga, stargazing, bike riding) and time moves slowly. The one thing not taken casually here is service: Staff dutifully accommodate every request, from surfing lessons to off-the-menu hankerings. Each of the sizable guest rooms is outfitted in a minimalist Mexican style that smartly blends into the surroundings while maintaining a sophistication with a canopied bed, soft colors, and floor-to-ceiling terrace doors that can slide entirely into the wall for sprawling ocean views. With the focus on unplugging, crowing roosters and the sound of the surf are your wake-up call.2010 Hot ListWhich room to book: An Upstairs Deluxe Suite for incredible sunset views and the pair of wicker hammocks suspended from the ceiling.

(10–18 cm) long and are plain gray or greenish, with white or yellow touches. They glean insects from foliage in woodlands and thickets, repeating loud short phrases over and over. The nest is a cuplike structure suspended from a small fork in a branch. The red-eyed vireo (Vireo olivaceus), which breeds from southern Canada to Argentina, is 6 in. (15 cm) long and has a black-outlined, white eye stripe that contrasts with its gray crown.

The family can be conveniently though perhaps inaccurately categorised by genus as the true vireos, the greenlets, the shrike-vireos and the peppershrikes. Preliminary genetic studies by Johnson et al revealed large interspecific genetic distances between clades within Vireo and Hylophilus of a similar magnitude to differences between Cyclarhis and Vireolanius. Furthermore some vireo and greenlet species may be closer to the peppershrikes than to there respective congeners. A more comprehensive study may reveal this family to be considerably undersplit at both the generic and species level.
The resident species occur in pairs or family groups that maintain territories all year (except Hutton's Vireo, which joins mixed feeding flocks). Most of the migrants defend winter territories against conspecifics. The exceptions are the complex comprising the Red-eyed Vireo, the Yellow-green Vireo, the Black-whiskered Vireo, and the Yucatan Vireo, which winter in small wandering flocks (Salaman & Barlow 2003).
Males of most species are persistent singers. Songs are usually rather simple, monotonous in some species of the Caribbean littoral and islands, and most elaborate and pleasant to human ears in the Chocó Vireo and the peppershrikes (Salaman & Barlow 2003).
The nests of many tropical species are unknown. Of those that are known, all build a cup-shaped nest that hangs from branches. The female does most of the incubation, spelled by the male except in the Red-eyed Vireo complex (Salaman & Barlow 2003).

The Mill recently completed a commercial for US client Norfolk Southern, showcasing the transformative power of freight shipping. Being a rather stunning piece of work, you may be interested to know that this project was rendered primarily using Mental Ray, taking advantage of the newish unified sampling feature.
For a closer look at what goes into to the making of an epic commercial like this one, take a look at this 'Behind the Scenes' video. The commercial was designed from the ground up, produced and directed entirely by The Mill's New York team, making it a prime example of the extensive work that goes into a project like this. Tapping into childhood fascinations with trains, the directors wanted to present freight shipping in a new light, with the Mill's artists working tirelessly to create storyboards, character designs and Pre-Viz prior to filming. And as you can see, their hard work obviously paid off.
Nice work guys!

German American WWII Internment (part 2 of 2)
Editor's note: This is the second part of a two part column. The first part can be read at www.thecitizen.com
With disregard for station in life or in religious affiliation, scientists, educators, farmers, brewers, physicians, American police troops swept German American civilians through California and other coastal communities, on their way to internment camps during World War II.
Separated from families and homes, these detainees were not tried and were not spying, but faced as much as six years "internment" simply because they were of German blood. Most of them, by birth or naturalization, were American citizens.
As the war ground on, they were supplied with materials, and built homes, schools, recreational facilities – all in all, they developed communities and lived, protected in a sense, from the devastation that was raining down upon their homeland.
Karen Ebel, whose late grandfather was a camp detainee, published a timeline based on research being done now by survivors willing and able to talk about it. Others in the Internment Coalition are historians Alfred Heitmann and Prof. Arthur Jakobs.
12-7-1941: Ebel begins with the horrific Japanese bombing raid on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, a U.S. protectorate in the South Pacific.
Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, citing a blanket presidential warrant, ordered the arrest of German nationals, calling them "dangerous enemy aliens," as well as Italians and Japanese. Hundreds were arrested by the end of the next day, before the U.S. had even declared war on Germany. (12-11-41)
1-1942: About a million "enemy aliens" reregistered, including 300,000 German-born aliens, who will face loss of home and property if they stray into military zones, defy curfew, or travel restrictions.
Ebel writes: "The U.S. government initiated exchanges of approximately 2,000 internees for Americans held in Germany. Six exchange voyages carried many families in Germany, including American-born children and U.S. citizen spouses of German alien internees…."
5-7-1945: Germany surrenders.
8-14-1945: Japan surrenders.
Experiences ran the gamut of being arrested, interned, excluded, paroled, exchanged, generally harassed. Their emotions included mental anguish, anger, guilt, shame. Some finally agreed to repatriation, but war-torn Germany can't take them back. There was grinding poverty, lack of facilities. Some are American citizens, in far worse condition than if they had stayed in the States.
1942-1943: About 50 temporary and permanent camps are thrown up to house German aliens. The largest are Crystal City and Seagoville, Texas, and Fort Lincoln, N.D.
1942-1945: Many internees are crammed into Ellis Island, N.Y. Most of the Germans were granted paroles, but not many wanted to repatriate to Germany. Many requested financial compensation because all their household members and possessions had been ransacked away from them.
1948: Despite filing a flood of petitions for acknowledgment with no results, the Germans finally found a voice in Congress, Sen. William Langer (D-ND).
Eber writes: "Due in large part to Senator Langer's efforts, among others, the last person, a German American, is finally released from Ellis Island after cessation of hostilities with Germany. No internee was ever convicted of a war-related crime against the U.S."
Upon release, most adult detainees sign secrecy oaths, many are threatened with deportation with no prospect of return if they speak of their ordeal. Most internees take their secret to their graves.
The Internet yields stories and pictures a-plenty documenting the German Americans' plight: www.foitimes.com is your best bet. A browser search including words like German, American, Internment, WWII should get you started.
I find it curiously jolting to learn that singing German songs and speaking German in worship services were at one time or another considered criminal acts in the United States, ditto the performance of the music of German classical composers.
In fact, many states banned teaching the German language in the public schools, and the Boy Scouts participated in a book-burning at the Cleveland public library, according to Dr. Joe Wendel, who is a member of the Internment Coalition.
Wendel's group calls for national recognition of the "…largely unknown history of 11,000 German Americans and another 6,000 German South-American citizens interned in the U.S. during World War II, allegedly to be exchanged later for Nazi-held Americans."
Freedom is not free, a reader wrote to me. Never has been, never will. But attention should be paid.

One side of this story was not told.
German Nationals at the orders of Hitler were sinking freighters with civilians on them in the North Atlantic on a regular basis.
It got so bad that we were becoming concerned about supplying our troops!
There were German spies also in the US. I remember one in particular. although I was young, about a country music guitar player supposedly with no arms who played the guitar with his toes and feet.
He had arms, they were taped to his body in public.
Now, considering the great fear we had after what England had gone through and then Germany's ally Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, we no longer could take any chances about immigrant Germans.
Trying to have trials for all of them was not feasible. They were fed and housed decently and we didn't burn any of them.
I had one uncle with three purple hearts fighting Germans. Not German-Americans of course, but in war it seems they are all terrorists--even today.
Germans are hard-headed and despise change also, which further caused problems with Americans who weren't Germans.
....we did bring as many German Scientists as we could find here to continue our rocket lift-offs. They were somewhat Nazis but made few decisions about anything except rockets.
....We allowed many Nazis to go to South America, rather than do a severe drag-net in Germany. The Jews went after some of them.
We also left some bureaucrats operating in Germany so we wouldn't have to do that----to bad we didn't do that in Iraq!

Environmental Benefits Of Smart Growth
Many studies show the environmental benefits of smart growth. Development guided by smart growth principles can minimize air and water pollution, encourage brownfields clean-up and reuse, and preserve natural lands.
The built environment — the places where we live, work, shop, and play — has both direct and indirect effects on the natural environment. Where and how we develop directly affects natural areas and wildlife habitat and replaces natural cover with impervious surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. Development patterns and practices also indirectly affect environmental quality since they influence how people get around. Separating land uses, spreading development out, and providing little or no public transportation or safe walking and biking routes foster greater reliance on motor vehicles. As development grows more dispersed, people must drive further to reach their destinations, leading to more and longer vehicle trips. These increased trips create more air emissions and greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change. Ultimately, air pollution and climate change can also harm water quality and wildlife habitat.
Smart growth practices can lessen the environmental impacts of development with techniques that include compact development, reduced impervious surfaces and improved water detention, safeguarding of environmentally sensitive areas, mixing of land uses (e.g., homes, offices, and shops), transit accessibility, and better pedestrian and bicycle amenities.
In practice, these techniques have created tangible environmental improvements. A 2000 study found that compact development in New Jersey would produce 40 percent less water pollution than more dispersed development patterns.1 A 2005 Seattle study found that residents of neighborhoods where land uses were mixed and streets are better connected, making non-auto travel easier and more convenient, traveled 26 percent fewer vehicle miles than residents of neighborhoods that were more dispersed and less connected.2 While individual smart growth methods can yield significant environmental improvements, a synergistic approach combining policies and programs can deliver even greater environmental benefits.
For more information on the environmental effects of development and the benefits of smart growth, see Our Built and Natural Environments: A Technical Review of the Interactions between Land Use, Transportation, and Environmental Quality.
Air Quality — According to a 1999 EPA evaluation of the environmental benefits of infill versus greenfield development (PDF) (35 pp, 368K, About PDF), siting a new development in an existing neighborhood, instead of on open space at the suburban fringe, can reduce miles driven by as much as 58 percent. Communities that make it easy for people to choose to walk, bicycle, or take public transit can also reduce air pollution by reducing automobile mileage and smog-forming emissions.
- Information about smart growth and transportation
- Smart growth and air quality publications
- Other EPA air quality Web pages
Water Quality — Compact development and open space preservation can help protect water quality by reducing the amount of paved surfaces and by allowing natural lands to filter rainwater and runoff before it reaches drinking-water supplies. Runoff from developed areas often contains toxic chemicals, phosphorus, and nitrogen; nationwide, it is the second most common source of water pollution for estuaries, the third most common for lakes, and the fourth most common for rivers. 3
Brownfields Redevelopment — Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial facilities where redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. Cleaning up and redeveloping a brownfield can remove blight and environmental contamination, catalyze neighborhood revitalization, lessen development pressure at the urban edge, and use existing infrastructure.
Open Space Preservation — Preserving natural lands and encouraging growth in existing communities protects farmland, wildlife habitat, outdoor recreation, and natural water filtration that ensures clean drinking water. The 2000 Rutgers University Center for Urban Policy and Research study for the state of New Jersey found that, compared to less compact growth patterns, planned growth could reduce the conversion of farmland by 28 percent, open space by 43 percent, and environmentally fragile lands by 80 percent.

Bethlehem Fashion Week – The Gem Shop
With a name like THE GEM SHOP, it would be easy for the average passerby to think this store sold only accessories – but don't be fooled! While this boutique does offer a huge collection of jewelry, headbands, and other accessories you would expect to find inside, they also have a wide range of fun wrap dresses that can be worn in a number of styles. Versatile and functional, the Elan U.S.A. Multiwrap Dress in Royal Blue is an outstanding and slimming color for most women. Also available at The Gem Shop, located at 518 Main Street, is the C.C. Exclusives Black Strip Hat, which adds some drama to the dress.
To keep with the slightly beach-y feel of the wrap dress and hat, I was drawn to the rich oceanic colors found in Susan Schulz's labradorite pieces. Schulz's Large Linked Bracelet ($600), which features both stunning labradorite and gold-flecked rutilated quartz, pairs well with the royal blue of the dress. Ring 2114, available at Artfully Elegant for $110, is a statement ring that can easily be dressed up or down.

Blue Martini Kendall Now Open, Some Live Shows Scheduled
Categories: Local Music, News
Yes, that pseudo-swanky new moniker for the new shopping center might raise some eyebrows, but the location itself has proven a successful spot for nightlife in the neighborhood in the past. It's the spot where the old Cafe Iguana lasted seemingly forever, and since then, there's been a gap in late-night revelry options for West Kendallites. Luckily for them, Blue Martini operates with club hours -- until only 3 a.m. during the week, but 5 a.m. on Fridays and Saturday nights.
What might interest Crossfade readers about the place, though, is a couple of live music shows scheduled for the coming weeks. We're not talking about bar bands or jazz nights, although there are some of those scheduled, but some nights of original music.
On August 16 and 30, for instance, Fort Lauderdale active rockers Ghost of Gloria are scheduled to perform (despite the venue's web site saying Mondays are meant to feature "Latin-inspired" bands). Other nights feature performances by the very talented local jazz/soul singers Nicole Henry and Ruby Baker.
Yes, it's a bit of a random selection in an unlikely locale, but perhaps, local artists, it's worth trying to contact the venue to get yourself booked while the place is still fresh. Check out the Kendall location's page on the Blue Martini web site for more information.
