A Course in Miracles
Meets Mondays - 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Center for Spiritual Living
"This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite."
Come join with us as we explore and expand!!! For Questions call Melvin Smith 435 688-1462
The Work of Byron Katie is a way of identifying and questioning the thoughts that cause all the anger, fear, depression, addiction, and violence in the world. Experience the happiness of undoing those thoughts through The Work, and allow your mind to return to its true, awakened, peaceful, creative nature.
October 12 ~ 2 PM
The Catalyst Game
The Game of
Insight &
"2 Sunday of the Month at 2 p.m."
This noncompetitive board game propels your thinking beyond its limitations, in the
realm of greater insight and inspiration.
Traveling over a continuous spiral, players draw cards and follow directions to explore emotions, consider new thoughts, and gain insight about a specific aspect of their lives. All participants join in each player's process by adding their unique ideas and perspectives.
A worksheet provides the space for you to record information gained during each turn and, most importantly, a place to write down what attitudes and behaviors you're inspired to take on from what you've learned throughout the game.
The longer you play, the deeper your
understanding. The more often you play, the greater your self-awareness. Each
game brings a completely new experience.
A sign-up sheet is now available at CSLSG.
Please contact Monet Lion at 801 362-8116.
October 15 ~ 6:30 PM
~ 3rd Wednesday ~ 6:30 PM ~
For more information contact
Circle Facilitator, Monet 801-362-8116
Our drum circle consists of participants facing each other across a circle and playing a balance of drums along with other percussion toys. We are primarily a Shamanic type circle using frame drums and assorted percussion for music-making in response to the Earth Prayers that are read periodically through the evening. It is a heart-centered activity that allows deep connection to the Earth. It is also a stress reducer and lots of fun!
No prior musical experience is needed to play with our group and there are usually plenty of instruments available for experimentation. All that is asked is for you to have a "playing consciousness" which Arthur Hull, modern day father of facilitated drum circles, describes as a supportive, collaborative attitude and sensitivity toward the group's musicmaking process.
"When people get together to drum, a vibration occurs...the drum channels expression of all kinds. It's a Universal element," writes Mr. Hull. Please, come join our "group groove."
Meet up times: 6:30 pm 3rd Wednesday of each month.
Meet up place: Center for Spiritual Living, 908 N. 1400 West, SG
(If we go to a local park, notice will be on door)
PLEASE NOTE: Because of the Sacred Nature of this Circle, it is for adults, please.

POSTED: Monday, January 23, 2012 - 6:54pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - 10:19am
tyler — To see the latest chapter in our U.S. cultural war, you may not have to look as far as your local TV weather person.
This was brought to my attention today. The left has been pushing for the sky is falling climate change for years.
Recently, they've hit a road block with controversy about faulty data or accusations of some climate scientist reportedly doing everything they can to point to Mother Earth having a FEVER.
Now, a new progressive website is outing weather people who don't agree with far-left thinking.
"Thinkprogress.org is "outing TV weather folks who have gone on record saying pish-posh to the whole idea of global warming.
They put the weather person's statements about why they won't get on board under the heading "zombie quotes."
Another website is trying to do the same thing. It's called "wattsupwiththat."
It states a new campaign, Forecast the Facts (www.forecastthefacts.org [2]), launches Sunday to pressure TV meteorologists to inform their viewers about climate change. The launch coincides with the kick-off of the American Meteorological Society's (AMS) annual meeting in New Orleans, LA.
"This is an important moment in the history of the AMS," said Daniel Souweine, the campaign's director. "It's well known that large numbers of meteorologists are climate change deniers. It's essential that the AMS Council resist pressure from these deniers and pass the strong statement currently under consideration."
How is this for free thought and freedom of speech and ideas?
We'll just strong arm whomever disagrees with us.
It won't work.
I know some of these folks they "out" as naysayers and they are not backing down.
That's my point of view, what's yours?
You can email me at ketknbc.com.

L3010C motor connectors
just got the motor L3010C suggested for the fox. it comes with male golden bullet connectors. but, how do i know what size are they? the specs don't say anything.
where should i measure them to know? i need to know this to order some to match for the pack. as a comparison, i have tried to measure the 2mm's golden bullets that i use for smaller things, but i can't find where they are 2mm. thanks |
Jun 06, 2012, 03:38 PM | |
My method is to plug them into existing connectors and if they fit tight, they are good to go.
I use a Harbor Freight digital caliper to measure most things. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-...per-47257.html The inside measurement of a 3.5mm connector is 3.5mm. The male with the springy thingies was in the 3.6Xmm range. |

1st The elevator hold down screws wereI replaced with longer ones and cut to fit. The ones I got were not a good fit. 2nd - The nuts in the elevator did not match up with the bolt holes . I shaved off some off the front of the elevator (plastic and foam) until the holes lined up. It was also necessary to make the slot in the plastic nut holder a little deeper to make up for the amount I cut off. It was probably about 1/16" that was removed. On my original Fox I just crammed and jammed and made a mess of it. |

Hatch hold down
After having a hatch come off in flight, I decided to secure it better as those fittings that came with the FOX seem flimsy.
Melted a vertical slot in the fuselage with a piece of hot hack saw blade and epoxied in a length of cloth backed Velcro. Used Velcro with adhesive on it to attach a piece to the canopy. That's all folks. |

This thing has a huge battery compartment. It'll take quite a large battery and an even bigger one if you cut out some foam. However, the big problem will be balance. With a 2200, I still need a bit of weight in the tail. If you put in a 4000 as far back as it'll go and put the servos in the tail, you may still need more weight back there.
Jun 21, 2012, 03:09 PM | |
I needed a 3s1800mah pack moved back 4" (Had to cut out a lot of foam) and still needed 2 1/2oz of lead in the tail. The pack is behind the cg so a bigger pack may be better. I'll check that out tonight.
OOOPs, my mistake, the cg is well behind the battery pack so a larger pack would demand a big chunk of lead in the tail. I wouldn't go that direction. |

A little help please...
My Fox glider seems to pitch up excessively with throttle It's worse downwind than upwind, I have no choice but to use down elevator to compensate especially if I'm not full throttle as less than full throttle it will pitch up and almost immediately want to stall, full throttle will drag the plane through without stalling but it will also pitch literally vertically I have the CG set to 40mm behind the leading edge and check every time before flight Any ideas on how to fix this without using a throttle/elevator mix ? Thanks |
Jul 18, 2012, 06:19 PM | |
Add down thrust to your motor mount is one way to do what you want. I've found that a cg closer to 52-55mm from the leading edge is a good place to have it. As the plane sits with the servos powered up, is the elevator slightly up? 40 mm is a nose heavy cg which requires up elevator. Moving the cg back may help you. |

About Retained Earnings
The net income that remains after paying dividends. It is reported on the balance sheet as the cumulative sum of each year's retained earnings over the life of the business. Retained earnings can be used to pay debt and future dividends, or can be reinvested into business activities.
The "retained" refers to the earnings after paying out dividends. Companies with increasing retained earnings is good, because it means the company is staying consistently profitable. If a company has a yearly loss, this number is subtracted from retained earnings.
If a company's annual net income was 5 million, paid out 3 million in dividends, and had a retained earnings of 9 million, retained earnings at the end of 2012 would be 11 million (5-3+9). Similarly if next year the company paid no dividends but had a yearly net income loss of 5 million, retained earnings would be 6 million (11-5).

No complaints from Eriksson
26 Feb 2008 - 09:35:41
Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson accepted that his side had deserved nothing from their home clash with Everton, which ended in a 2-0 defeat for the Citizens.
City lost ground in the race for a European spot as they failed to build on their derby success at Old Trafford last time out, leaving Eriksson with no complaints.
He told the club's official website: "We have been brought back down to earth after beating United, but I thought we did well in the first 30 minutes.
"This was a real disappointment, we did not play that badly and had a lot of possession without getting any penetration.
"We tried hard in the second half, but with our attacks they were able to break and still create chances. Of course Everton are a strong team, well organised and they defended very well."
Meanwhile, Eriksson felt that referee Rob Styles acted in haste in showing Martin Petrov a straight red card for aiming a kick at Leon Osman late on in the game.
The Swede added: "I thought it was very harsh. The player backed into him and he flicked his boot at him.
"The Everton players seemed surprised he was sent off, but he got it and that's it.
"It needs more than just a word from me with Martin now, because we lose him for three games and that is hard for us."

Archive for Lemurs
Zoo Baby Announcement!
It's a girl! Madi the ring-tailed lemur was born to mother Kyna and father Ombe on September 22. The baby is doing well and will be on exhibit for the rest of the season, weather permitting.
You may think most animal babies are born in the spring, but lemurs are typically born in the fall. Their breeding season occurs in April and gestation lasts 4-5 months. Ring-tailed lemurs are born with lots of hair and with eyes wide open. At first, the baby clings to its mother's chest, but later it will ride on her back. The young are independent after six months.
You can help support the care of Madi and other zoo animals by adopting a lemur.
Madi is short for "Madagascar," the home of ring-tailed lemurs in the wild. Less than 10% of Madagascar's forest cover remains and due to this drastic loss of habitat, ring-tailed lemurs are an endangered species.
Zoo babies are sponsored by Lutheran Children's Hospital. Click on the photos to enlarge:
From the Island of Madagascar
Say "hello" to one of the zoo's newest residents! Ombe the male lemur joined females Cushla and Kyna last November. Now two years of age, Ombe is fitting right in. Zoo keepers have observed him acclimating to his new troop.
"Ombe developed a strong bond with Kyna right away. They spend a lot of time together and he also interacts with Cushla," states zoo keeper Helena Lacey.
Prior to zoo opening, zoo keepers worked with Ombe using positive reinforcement. "We trained Ombe with small approximations – small steps," Lacey explains. "Training an animal to willingly move from one location to another is helpful for the times when they have to move indoors because of cold weather."
A really big island Off the coast of eastern Africa, the ring-tailed lemur lives on the large island of Madagascar. They live mainly in forested areas.
What do they eat? Lemurs munch on fruit, leaves, bark, flowers, grass, and tree sap. Lemurs eat by holding food with their front feet.
The lemur look Lemurs' bodies are covered with soft, thick, brown-grey fur that is very pale on their chest and stomach. Preening takes up much time of a lemur's time.
All three of the zoo's lemurs display the typical lemur look, but zoo keepers can easily tell them apart. Lacey explains that "Cushla is the easiest to spot because of her short tail. Kyna has a small, narrow face and Ombe is fluffy and handsome."
Swift movers Ring-tailed lemurs are active both during the day and at night. Although they live mainly on the ground, they are very comfortable moving around in treetops. Lemurs escape to these treetops when threatened. They will defend their territory and signal alarm with loud calls.
Uncertain future Less than 10% of Madagascar's original forest cover remains, putting all 30 species of lemurs in jeopardy. The Fort Wayne Children's Zoo is committed to the conservation of wild animals and wild places. Learn more here.

We had a thread like this once a long time ago, but I just had it come up in real life again. The worst part is, I've heard it before and I probably will again.
Do you know this guy? You might. He's a real gee whiz kind of guy, a man of letters. And those letters are M-O-R-O-N.
Well maybe that is being too harsh, but I digress.
This guy is the one who gets the bright idea that all he really needs is, guess what, a gun. Just any gun. And he doesn't even need ammunition for it either. Just the gun.
You see this guy is amazing. By mere presentation of said sidearm, he can cause the most hard boiled felon to cower and whimper at his feet.
Even more amazing, all he merely needs to do is possess this gun. He doesn't even have to have it with him. If he never even fires it that's okay too. Because he is going to magically have it whenever he needs it, and no shots will be fired for they will cast themselves on his mercy.
Isn't this guy amazing?
I've known this guy several times... never the same guy twice either.
I seriously hope that these people are #1. Kidding about carrying an unloaded gun #2. If they're not kidding I hope for their sake they leave it behind, they're better off without it in all honesty.
Please tell me I live in my own weird little world and that this isn't a phenomenon anyone else has ever encountered. Sheesh, what a morning.

Indulge me W fans - I can not help myself.
The White House said today that the SURGE in new troops in Iraq would be GRADUAL.
Isn't that antithetical or are there gradual surge protectors for our computers.
George - this did not help.

With all of the traffic entering Bluffton from the west it is untenable that the SCDOT has eliminated a curb cut or traffic light into the Taco Bell/Home Depot/ Blakes/Volvo commercial strip. I have heard that the DOT wants the businesses in that area to contribute to the traffic light intersection. That is wrong - the plan should have accomodated for easy access.
These businesses did not change existing egress into their businesses - SCDOT did.

If this doesn't open your eyes... nothing will!
From the L.A. Times
1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

Rush, Bill, Laura, etc. are unabashed editorialists but they constantly misuse the word "media". Media is plural for medium (TV is a medium; radio and TV are media). Yet, Mr. Limpbow and his 'neo-con' 'wanna-bees' will say " the media IS .....". If you are a member of the mass media, you really should appreciate the definition. May be a small issue but it is so very often violated that this retired college prof and dean can not let it go unnoticed.
Also - today any radio or TV newscast is tying the current US death toll in Iraq to the 911 death toll. I have to ask, what is the point?

Things were bad for 'W' before this speech and now are worse. Not only did he have few supporters before but the speech diminished his standing.
The President has lost any Democrat support he may have had but he has also lost most of his conservative and Pub support.
Look for an attack on Iran to bolster this ego-maniac's reputation. Just like our major failure in Afghanistan the same is true for Iraq.
Whatever happened to our guys and our goals in Afghanistan? Have you kept up on that? The drug biz is better than ever. And where is the ultimate Satan Bin Laden?

When we were just tourists here there was a great little manufacturer of wellcome mats and drink coasters made from the same material. It was located on the south side of 278 near Club Car, OC Welch, I think.
We still have many of their unique and very thirsty coasters - they are the best.
Can anyone tell me where they went?

Un freaking nonsense. A Federal judge has blocked the city of Hazelton, PA from prosecuting employers and landlords who hire or rent to illegal, mostly Mexican, immigrants. The judge cited irreparable financial losses. When did non-Americans receive the same rights and privileges as those of us who have done the time in the States.
I don't know, and I am a Democrat, why we cater to Mexicans when my ancestors and the European and Far East immigrants had to go through normal procedures in order to stay and become citizens.
Small and Big Business is the reason, in my opinion.

I think HBO is the major network in charge of the NFL network. I say this because Bryant Gumbel sucked in this game. Examples: Every time one of the teams were third down and long, Gumbel said "the Giants or Skins give it up on downs". No Sir - you give it up on downs when you go for it on 4th and do not make it. He also said many times, for example, with the ball on your 30 and the back got the ball to the 35, "the running back got it back to the 35". UGHH!

Happened to be near the Coligney beach access and walked down and to my awe was this massive sand renourishment project. I could try to describe it but it is definitely worth going to see.
I knew about these projects, especially Hunting Island which it seems is going through one annually because it is a barrier island. But I thought they trucked in sand and leveled it - not at Coligney.
A company out of Illinois is the lead contractor.

Baswood BioViper(TM) Wastewater Pretreatment System At The Dr Pepper Snapple Group Houston Bottling Plant (Photo: Business Wire)
Baswood Corporation, a provider of advanced wastewater treatment systems, today announced the start of full-scale operations of its BioViper TM biological pretreatment system at the Dr Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE:DPS) Houston bottling plant. Using Baswood's patented technologies, the BioViper™ delivers an energy-efficient pretreatment solution that significantly lowers the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in the bottling plant's facility's effluent while supporting DPS's environmental sustainability goals.

With digestion rates of 75 to 90 percent, the Baswood system provides a reduction in the plant's organic loading, which allows DPS to minimize its burden on the City of Houston wastewater treatment operations and increases the city's capacity to treat wastewater from other industrial customers.
The proprietary BioViper TM system requires 40 percent less energy to operate than traditional digestion systems and 25 percent less energy than other emerging technologies. In addition to a smaller carbon footprint, the BioViper™ occupies a small physical footprint, which enabled the pretreatment facility to be built within the existing DPS property boundaries. The modular and scalable system can expand if additional capacity is required for the plant's bottling operations.
"Baswood's BioViper TM system reduces both cost and our impact on the environment and public resources," said Kendall Yorn, senior vice president of manufacturing and engineering for DPS. "Clean water is in everyone's interest, and this new technology is a major step forward in our commitment to finding sustainable solutions that positively affect our community."
"All of us at Baswood are proud that our wastewater treatment technology is making a significant contribution not only to DPS's sustainability initiatives, but also to its bottom line," said Michael Walker, CEO of Baswood. "Our system's modular, efficient solution significantly lowers the cost of wastewater pretreatment, which enables our customers, regardless of their size, to gain a rapid return on their investment."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Three years ago he launched Russia's second war to quell Chechen separatism, and handily won subsequent presidential elections on the strength of the Russian military victories that followed. But the conflict has dragged on, killing an average of three federal soldiers daily in the embattled republic.
Polls show Russians growing exhausted with the war. "This terrible event in Moscow shows that we have not succeeded in containing the war within the borders of Chechnya," says Sergei Karaganov, head of the pro-Kremlin Council on Foreign and Defense Policy in Moscow. "This war has been very closely associated with Putin's name, and he must be seen bringing this situation quickly under control or he may lose badly from it."
The crisis began late Wednesday when the highly organized detachment of Chechen rebels seized the Palace of Culture on Melnikova Street in southeast Moscow, where the popular patriotic musical "Nord-Ost" was being staged. The attackers, wearing balaclavas and thick wads of explosive around their waists, fired shots and ordered everyone to be seated. The attackers released about 150 children, pregnant women, and Muslims, before planting booby traps around the 1,000-seat theater's doors and windows.
Efforts to gain release of some 65 foreigners, including two Americans, were stalled Thursday afternoon. The body of a woman was taken out of the theater yesterday, though details as to the cause of her death were unclear.
A Chechen rebel-sponsored website claimed responsibility for the raid and said it was under the command of Movsar Barayev, a Chechen warlord whose uncle, Arbi Barayev was killed fighting Russian troops last year.
"This is an almost impossible situation for our security forces," says Maxim Pyadushkin, deputy head of the independent Center for Strategic and Technological Analysis in Moscow. "They are operating in the heart of a metropolis, with little room to maneuver. The eyes of the world are upon them. One has the impression that these terrorists are ready to be martyrs, to blow themselves up with the hostages if the police try to move in."

ABCNews' Matthew Jaffe reports: The nation's economy has been rescued from the brink of collapse, President Obama's top economic adviser believes. In excerpts released by the White House, National Economic Council director Larry Summers touts the progress made by the administration in averting a financial meltdown. "We were at the brink of catastrophe at the beginning of the year, but we have walked some substantial distance back from the abyss," Summers plans to say this morning at the Peterson Institute in Washington. "Substantial progress has been made in rescuing the economy from the risk of economic collapse that looked all too real six months ago." When the administration entered office back in January, Summers recalls, "the economy was in free-fall at the start of the year with no apparent limit on how much worse things could get…fear was widespread and confidence was scarce." But thanks to President Obama's two-tiered approach of addressing the immediate crisis and building for long-term growth, Summers says, "the distance we have traveled these past six months is remarkable." "First, the most immediate priority was to rescue the economy by restoring confidence and breaking the vicious cycle of economic contraction and financial failure," outlines Summers. "Second, the recovery from this crisis would be built not on the flimsy foundation of asset bubbles but on the firm foundation of productive investment and long-term growth." In recent weeks, the administration has sent their sweeping financial regulatory reform proposals down Pennsylvania Avenue to Congress. Going forward, Summers calls for an economy that is more export-oriented and more balanced in terms of income distribution. While acknowledging that the administration's agenda is "ambitious", Summers believes it will "lay a foundation for future prosperity and for the confidence on which the current recovery depends." -Matthew Jaffe

Developmental biology is the study of the process by which organisms grow and develop, and is closely related to Ontogeny. Modern developmental biology studies the genetic control of cell growth, differentiation and morphogenesis, which is the process that gives rise to tissues, organs and anatomy, but also regeneration and aging,.
The stratum basale (basal layer, sometimes referred to as stratum germinativum) is the deepest layer of the five layers of the epidermis, which is the outer covering of skin in mammals.
The stratum basale is a continuous layer of cells. It is often described as one cell thick, though it may in fact be two to three cells thick in glabrous (hairless) skin and hyperproliferative epidermis (from a skin disease).
The human skin is the outer covering of the body. In humans, it is the largest organ of the integumentary system. The skin has multiple layers of ectodermal tissue and guards the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. Human skin is similar to that of most other mammals, except that it is not protected by a fur. Though nearly all human skin is covered with hair follicles, it can appear hairless. There are two general types of skin, hairy and glabrous skin. The adjective cutaneous literally means "of the skin" (from Latin cutis, skin).
Because it interfaces with the environment, skin plays a key role in protecting the body against pathogens and excessive water loss. Its other functions are insulation, temperature regulation, sensation, synthesis of vitamin D, and the protection of vitamin B folates. Severely damaged skin will try to heal by forming scar tissue. This is often discolored and depigmented.
Science of drugs including their origin, composition, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, therapeutic use, and toxicology.
Pharmacology (from Greek φάρμακον, pharmakon, "poison" in classic Greek; "drug" in modern Greek; and -λογία, -logia "study of", "knowledge of") is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with the study of drug action, where a drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical and/or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. If substances have medicinal properties, they are considered pharmaceuticals.

does anyone know how often neulasta should be given?
A friend of mine received it after his 2nd chemo and after every chemo thereafter. now he just received it today after his 5th chemo. this past wednesday his blood was perfect except for a little low hemoglobin which has actaully gone up since the week before- my question is why did they give him neulasta again?
isnt only if your neutrophils are low, his havent been low in 6 weeks makes me very angry. also they give him neulasta straight after 5FU disconnect, i thought it had to be at least 24 hours after ANY chemo?
can your body make white cells long after chemo?
anyone know if there's long term side effects of neulasta?

Cycler commented about some of the defects of modern society. Such defects are characteristice of any society in decline, not just modern ones. For any society in such cirmcustances, those on the fringe are most able to contribute to truly positive changes.
For example, the BBC recently showed Haitian people helping one another put together shelter. They were doing so in the countryside.
Certainly some times it seems that the better help for poor, famine countries would be remove their governments and put each one under the protectorate of a wellbeing country. I know enough that it sound like recolonisation, but maybe an arbitral authority to look after things being done in the benefit of the poor country could be a help. Other things regularly done like debt condonation and NGO help only seem to come to better help privieged minorities that ru(i)n this countries to perform their evil job. Put all that people in jail for abusing sometimes very rich countries only for their particular benefit.
Haiti's crisis is an opportunity to establish a path to prosperity. Paul Collier's book The Bottom Billion correctly notes that the vicious circle of extreme poverty in failed states requires a circuit-breaker, through military guarantees of sound governance. Haiti's history of corruption and squalor means that only an externally imposed authority can have the vision and power to set the nation on a path towards joining the community of independent nations. Making democracy into a fetish condemns Haiti to hopelessness. The world has moved on from the days when external intervention was just economic exploitation by metropolitan powers. Today, Haiti's failure is a real security problem, and its economic and social development requires conversion into a UN-World Bank protectorate.
Let's see;
Houses that resist hurricane force winds are made of concrete that crumbles with earthquakes. The first thing to do is decide on a construction model that is earthquake proof, wind proof, and a plan to build them where the effects of climate change are minimal. Uhhhhhm that may not be in Haiti, after all.
Ahh yes, tiny Canada's 33 million again missed the honor role in the Economist, despite making the single largest contribution to the crisis on a per capita basis. It is no accident that the meeting on reconstruction that is being held today is actually - in Canada. No, Canada is not yet a star on the US flag, dear editors.
The varying sets of ideas offered and counter offered here show a deep misunderstanding or a complete (but not innocent) disregard for free people, and freedom of action. How the hell has any country ever in history developed from its tiny beginnings to greatness?
How has America, Hong Kong, Australia, Japan, and other enclaves of prosperity worked their way to success?
These countries had the freedom to earn, keep and invest for their futures. Political issues today are stark: freedom vs. controls. Period. It is a black and white issue because reality will not let you get away with anything else.
I think Haiti can be perfect ground for corporations to set up factories and businesses. I mentioned earlier I would not give a penny to Haiti as alms. I would not disrespect Haitians as such. I'd offer work on conditions of freedom, property rights and a government limited to only protecting those rights. To make it abundantly clear: laissez faire beginning with "outside investors.
This would enable building Haiti faster and more prosperous than anything it has ever experienced. Continued non-profit agencies and all their socialist agendas will merely trap the country and its people as it already has. Now, that country has a rare oppotunity to truly start from scratch. Will the leaders choose freedom? The old ideas kept them poor and unable to survive.
If you think the Haitian people could not compete or are illiterate, the non-profit, planned methods are then to blame anyways.
Freedom works! A genuine, individual rights protecting government would have the greatest security, protection against natural disasters and would enable savings and economic security for its citizens.
To the degree that a country attacks its best producers, it will falter and fail. For that look at the Bush / Obama administrations new leftists. The crucial issue IS between freedom and controls. Haitians are people too and deserve individual and property rights.
Socialist do-gooders are the most calleous people around.
I still remember the US soldier above the USS Abraham Lincoln of the 7th fleet expressing his deep gratitude that the carrier changed its course from heading to Irak and turning to Aceh instead. This was December 2004. The humanitarian call is so much stronger than the political call of the war, even when the putrid smell of decomposing bodies may be the same.
The days after, for four years, we saw 500 NGOs, 55 countries and thousands of aid workers and volunteers working together to rebuild Aceh. Hand in hand with the local community who were not only stunned, shocked and saddened by the loss of everything they have to the tsunami, but also very poor to begin with, and ravaged by a 30 year armed conflict. While the world seems to find the spirit of peace in working side by side - chinese, taiwanese, arabs, jews, south african, azerbaijanese, canadian and american, the local community also feels that the spirit of new hope is in the air. It is not about states or ideology, not about religion or language. It is about humanity.
We work together, and hold the affected community's hand when they crawl back from hopelessness to facing a new life. This is more rewarding than the still not shabby fact that 143,000 houses were build, roads, schools and health centers and many more reconstructed, better than before.
Haiti may be different than Aceh. But prior to the tsunami Aceh's reputation for corruption may not be better than Haiti, and the local government was wiped out of any capacity when it struck.
Yet, the Indonesians stands up to the challenge to take lead, to provide guidance, direction and facility as the UN solidify its many agencies in coordination, IFRC and so many NGOs and State Aid Agencies working collaboratively within the provided corridor. We suppressed corruption to the minimum and the world turned at least 93% of its pledge to real project on the ground.
Can Haiti do it? Can Haitian lead it? OF COURSE ! Every community has good leaders and workers within. Many doubted us before, but with humanity in the heart of those who helped, and a little self confidence from our side, we did it.
I know it for a fact, I was part of the reconstruction team, which was disbanded after exactly 4 years, mission accomplished.
Why bother reading the Economist?
I could just watch Bill O'Reilly for the same brainwashing that it's America's and her allies moral duty to help oppressed countries through the barrel of a gun.
Nevermind the history of how well our humanitarian military campaigns go, and nevermind how we would feel if we were occupied by foreign soldiers who were there to save us from ourselves.
International assistance to rebuild Haiti is of course very important. But we shouldn't put too much attention on the physical infrastructure and less on the institutional one. Development agent tend to focus on the physical infrastructure. The most important things over the longer run are the institutions. How Haiti can achieve an independent and effective judiciary, election authority, police force...all free from oligarchic and corrupt interests?
It's not surprising that many people can't cope with the fact that Haiti cannot help itself, like for most of its past. Foreign interference is criticized but the internal conditions that caused these interferences in the first place are mostly brushed over . An island divided almost in half , roughly ten million people each side , one side turned into a pretty decent country , the other into a basket case long before hurricanes and earthquakes . Was the DR free of foreign intervention? Does anyone care to explain this difference?
The most visible aid comes from western countries who then have to endure charges of neo colonialism . What people fret about is that the Marines came in in battle armor and with their own orders but few people spare a thought for the importance of information like this: "(...) by mid-week the airport was receiving three times as many flights as it did before the earthquake".
Knowing that the country has no resources and that most of the brain power fled long ago , I don't see any other way to provide for the people other then a UN administration , until Haiti's best and brightest decide to leave Florida and Paris , stop laying the blame elsewhere and go back to run their country.
kpalexander: You may disagree with the US or UK government's policies, but it's not exactly incompetent. In fact, as governments go, it's had the same one by and large for 200+ years. It's also very wealthy, and it's citizenry is by and large quite generous. As far as historical track record goes, I am pretty sure the UK and the US are 1 and 1A.
The Haitians are certainly capable of rebuilding their nation. However, they currently have little infrastructure to do so. They've lost 2% of their people, and presuming the majority of the government is in Port-au-Prince, there's probably even more government officials lost, along with some of its most produtive citizenry. The government probably has little means to collect taxation, which means that it will likely be effectively broke for the forseeable future. After all, how do you collect taxes, and run a government thereby, when none of the people have businesses to go to and therefore incomes to be had?
That's where it will be necessary for external help. The OAS, the UN (including France) will have to step in and restore basic services, get the rubble cleared up, and then get the streets and the shops rebuilt. After that, Haiti can resume a normal government. However, right now, it has no means to create a functioning government. Any functional civil service requires taxation. A reasonable tax is generally expected by its citizenry. But taxation can only be levied on some form of productivity, and when you're simply trying to survive, it's impossible to be productive. Ergo, this argues an international rebuild/restructure effort until such time as the people can conduct their own economic activities.
For now, yes. The Haiti government is still on its weakest status to face all the effects brought by the havoc. United Nations joined forces to aid but absolutely not to rebuild. The Haiti's Citizens will and shall always have the first initiative, through their government that will stand in the front line supposed to be.
Temporary authority is not a need, the current government authorities must continue its supremacy with the people's welfare as the primary goal. Outside aid and supplemental assistance from any part of the world is a great help for a new start. Temporary helps and symphaties maybe possible, but to rely on Temporary authority is not a credible assurance.
The issue now is not who will run the government, but how to help the current legitimate Haiti government. Let politics escape its way freely in favor of saving lives, restoration of properties, and gaining back of lost economy.
Another inane Economist suggestion.
I suppose you want the incompetent US government to do the job? Or the imbecilic UK government? Perhaps you are suggesting to put the unelected UN in charge?
Come on, haven't the Haiti people had enough with natural disasters, before you give them human contrived ones?
Since when has France taken charge of a disaster zone and successfully done anything right? All they do is bash the US while it actually does something.
BTW, as opposed to the British who were forces out of surrounding islands (Jamaica, etc.), the US forces left in the early twentieth century after making a number of improvements such as roads and schools. Sure, it was followed by controversial leaders, but that was the democracy.
Wow!Haiti, 200 years ago, became one of the few successful slave revolts and the probably the first black nation to declare independence. This was at a time when the slave trade was still vibrant, and countries to the east (Santo Domingo and the Caribbean islands), west (Jamaica),north (United States) and south (Brazil) were still utilizing slaves on their plantations. As a result, the country was viewed as a pariah by every colonial power in the region that it depended in for trade - Spain, England, Portugal, and Holland.
Compounded with this, the newly freed slaves did not have the administrative expertise for developing or maintaining the necessary institutions to remain competitive, and had to return to their former slave masters (the French) for help to this end. A mulatto elite emerged and has continued to this day, controlling the means of production and resources, yet still not delivering on the institutional, infrastructural and economic development.
Any effort to develop a temporary authority to manage the rebuilding of the country (a good idea) must take these factors into consideration, and must actively include the Haitians in the restructuring of their institutions and infrastructure, bringing these institutions up to 21st century standards.
This will prepare them for success when this authority is disbanded and the real job of governing resumes.
Haiti's population is 9,780,064.
If 200,000 people died. Then that means:
2% of Haiti's population is now dead.
This current period in Haiti when its own government is practically nonexistent may indeed be a good time for the international community to reconsider how to help the country, now that all eyes are on Port-au-Prince. As others have commented, it is quite true that historically, Haiti does not seem to have the ability to set up an autonomous or particularly sovereign state. Development has been extremely slow, whether it was under a democracy or a dictatorship.
In the past, unilateral intervention by the United States (from invasion to backing dictators to direct aid) has resulted in temporary improvements at best, before the country reverts back to a level that has been described as "sub-war violence" and rampant poverty. One of the main problems is the fact that Haiti lacks much of the infrastructure necessary for economic development, and the civil society needed for democratic development. While a considerable amount of money has been given to Haiti for economic development, the creation of a self-sustaining civil society as a replacement for gun culture seems to have been largely ignored. If then, a multilateral "temporary government" were to be used, not only must it tackle the basic problems of infrastructure and economy, but it must also consider the development of civil society as a necessary prerequisite for stable government in the future.

I find this to be at the very least a poor choice of words. I hardly think the destruction of a country's culture constitutes a solution unless the establishment of a proper educational system can be considered a destruction of culture. Education tends to produce a much more moderate perspective in a culture, a perspective that helps a country change and fix itself.
I would also like to express my agreement with frenchderek's third point that locals have to be involved from day one. Of the many humanitarian efforts about which I've heard, many of the most successful projects have been those that sought local involvement
This is in response to Cycler.
First, the Haitians obviously are doing many of the things you think they should be doing. Most of the people rescued from building were by Haitians. The body removal (possibly as many as 150,000) and debris removal thus far has been done by Haitians. Those with the means to exit the city are doing so, possible as many as 200,000. There have even been ferries and buses organized to do so. Obviously the lack of heavy equipment, skills, electricity, food and water, and organization have prevented greater things from being accomplished.
As for Galveston, the Seawall is now 10 miles long. After the 1900 Hurricane it was built to be 3.3 miles long. At the time of the Hurricane, Galveston was the wealthiest, most important city in Texas. After the Hurricane it became a backwater, quickly overshadowed by Houston. To try and repopulated the city, a massive immigration campaign was undertaken which brought in 10,000 East Europeans, many of them Jewish. Still lacking investment, Galveston became the Vegas/speakeasy for Houston in the 20's and 30's. Galveston did eventually redevelop thanks to several military bases established in WWII, a medical school, and the rise of tourism.
Not sure that a East European immigration, casinos or military bases are particularly viable options in redeveloping Haiti.
Please,Forget the cynicism and get rid of politics, leave Haiti a purely place where can not stand this but only help.

Well thats sure took us a while! Its funny once you get used to Internet at modern places you are so used to good connections that you take it for granted. Here in Marbella they have just discovered fiber but its only in the very center of Marbella. Where I live the normal lines are full (net enough lins for all the houses) so I can't get a normal ADSL line. So first we went for satellite internet but that was crazy expensive and seemed to not be worth it. We then looked at a similar solution but cheaper but they never called me back. So the only option we were left with was a 4G connection.
So we are back online but I am guessing that the Apple TV we bought will not be used much as I doubt the speed will be good enough! But who cares, at least now I can read the news, answer to e mails and get this old blog up to speed!
The good thing about our internet dip is that I had plenty of time to work on house plans. Ended up tearing the whole drive way down to make it wider, move the gate and put a new concrete surface on the whole thing.

Cant wait for the driveway to be finished, I have a really hard time to enjoy this house once I have my eyes set on a new update!

As for transporting fuel by rail or by pipeline, not being well informed is not going to prevent my offering an off the cuff opinion. There seems to me to be less risk of a large spill, a true environmental disaster, with rail transport. Rail infrastructure is already in place, and doesn't require further destruction of habitats. No new wildlife impacts can be expected, such as disruption of migration routes. I know nothing about the relative economics of the two methods. I'm also guessing that if big corporations and billionaires want a pipeline, that is what we'll get.

X-Files 3 Movie News: Gillian Anderson Says Movie Won't Happen Until 2016, Will It Address 2012 Invasion Storyline?
By Tyler McCarthy firstname.lastname@example.com | Jan 20, 2014 12:45 PM EST
The X-Files may be out of the pop-culture eye but it is by no means finished just yet. Last summer, series creator Chris Carter said that he was developing a script for a third movie in the franchise, based off of the hit science fiction series on Fox. Stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny were all interested in reuniting for the long-awaited third film.
In an interview with IGN, Anderson was able to sit down and discuss the project in-depth. During the interview, she indicated that she's still very open to the idea of returning to that world for a third film, but she feels at this time that it will not go into production in the near future.
"I'm sure it is being thought out," she said, when asked if discussions about the film had gone anywhere significant. "Looking at my schedule it's probably unlikely to happen before 2016, but that's the way things go."
Right now, Anderson is shooting her NBC midseason thriller "Crisis" in Chicago, set to debut this march. In addition, the actress is also being featured as a guest-star on another NBC series, Hannibal. So, when the actress describes her busy schedule, she's not lying and it could possibly cause the film to be pushed back two solid years.
Anderson said she has no clue as to exactly what the third film's plot will cover, however she did comment on the 2012 alien invasion plotline that had been running through the series saying that it might be "too late."
"I'm not sure people would be interested in that anymore," she said. "I don't know."
This could be true as the 2012 date has come and gone, obviously, but it is possible the film could be set in the very recent past and show a "what if" scenario having to do with an alien invasion or that the dates were wrong and the invasion was instead scheduled for sometime later than 2012.
In an interview with Empire back in August, the creator said that he felt it was very important to address the colonization in some way. "The date (which was December 22,2012 in the series) has passed, and that is something we wouldn't ignore," he explained. "For the second movie, we only had the budget for a standalone story, but we want to go back to the mythology."

The Power of the Incredible Hulk—the ILM Linux Death Star
"Florian Kines, who was also behind OpenEXR, wrote our batch scheduler along with a couple others a long time ago for SGI Irix", says Hess. "That made use of big iron and desktops. When we started our move to Linux we wanted better resource management." The first version of ObaQ divided machines by show—not a very efficient utilization of resources.
"Our attempt to replace ObaQ with a centralized resource management system called the IMP Project didn't work out", says Hess. "We went back to ObaQ, and the Linux port of that took about two weeks. Three or four months ago, Florian decided he was going to fix that so any show could use any machine." ObaQ is a peer-to-peer (P2P) scheduler system. The advantage of a P2P scheduler is that a scheduler server failure won't knock the entire system off-line. ObaQ2 uses a single machine for global scheduling, but it advises only independent machines running ObaQ. Losing the ObaQ2 server won't bring the entire facility down. There are scheduler system alternatives, such as the popular proprietary product Platform LSF or the open-source Condor and OpenPBS schedulers, but ILM plans to continue to use ObaQ.
SGI had added functionality in the IRIX kernel for process monitoring, such as CPU time and temp space. Those values determine how ILM machine time gets charged back by central accounting to projects. ILM discovered the Linux /proc filesystem didn't provide all those statistics or created excessive overhead, and that it couldn't support ObaQ without changes.
"Florian asked me to address some of the Linux kernel issues", says Hess. "For one thing, Linux provides no way to tell if something is a thread or a process. In ps, every thread shows as a separate process." Some jobs, such as Mental Ray, can run multiple threads per frame in parallel. Linux top or ps shows each thread using 1GB RAM, but that's shared memory being counted twice. Linux also couldn't tell which job is opening temporary files. ObaQ needs to know that in order to clean up temporary files if it kills a job.
Hess created a Linux kernel module to trap opens, forks, clones, vforks, exits and renames, to make accurate statistics possible. The kernel module does most of work, but the hooked calls should ignore any job not being run by ObaQ. To do that required hacking the kernel. "I used one of the unused bits in the ptrace flag", says Hess. "Every x86 job has a 32-bit ptrace vector. As of 2.4.20, 10 bits are used to indicate ptrace modes, such as single step. Sometime last year Linux or glibc changed how the ptrace flag works so it clears on fork. I found all places the kernel clears those bits and keep bit 32." Hess says the OPROFILE feature in the 2.5 kernel has enhanced accounting facilities, so his hack might not be needed in 2.5. Commandeering an unused bit in the ptrace flag was a quick hack to mark jobs as being ObaQ tasks. "This is one of the great things about Linux", says Hess. "Because we had the source, we could make this change ourselves, and very quickly. No third-party vendor had to be involved to do custom engineering, as in the IRIX case."
"Now that we have all this firepower in the renderfarm it can overwhelm any file server", says Thompson. "In The Hulk we have these nuclear explosion renders that are really crunchy—causing major grief for us lately. It is easy for an artist to proc-up a render [add more processors to a task] to the point that it brings a file server to its knees. We're doling out 700 times the data we used to!"
ILM uses a Sun T3 disk array to serve NFS. Adopting Linux as an NFS client presented a number of problems when brought on-line a year and a half ago. Due to a Linux NFS UDP-packets-out-of-order bug (fixed in 2.4.18), after a couple hours the Sun Solaris server would spin up to 100% and be dragged down. Sun came to the rescue with a proprietary Solaris kernel module and IP stack patch to work around the Linux bug.
A nagging issue from choosing Linux NFS UDP is no flow control. "When we get into hot spot problems on file servers, the renderfarm makes a denial-of-service attack on our file servers", says Thompson. "We're going to try TCP NFS on a Linux client again, now that it's a year and a half later. We'll start testing that next week." TCP adds about 5% overhead.
ILM is scaling up, from about 20TB of file server storage now to double that next year. "For Star Wars Episode III we're going to double the size of our renderfarm", says Thompson. "We can do that by ordering another 3,000 nodes from RackSaver—but that could destroy our file servers." Thompson plans to head off that NFS server meltdown by going to a clustered file server—Sistina GFS or something like that. File serving isn't limited to only within the ILM facility.
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.
