Spherix (SPEX) Stock Is Tumbling Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Spherix Inc.
(SPEX - Get Report) were down 23% to $3.45 in trading Thursday. The drop comes on the heels of the news that the intellectual property purchasing company was moving forward with its lawsuit against Cisco Inc.
(CSCO - Get Report).
The lawsuit alleges that the majority of Cisco's revenues from routing and switching --$43 billion since March 2008, $9 billion in 2013 -- can be attributed to 11 patents that Spherix bought from Canadian tech company Nortel Networks Corp.
(NRTLQ) in December 2013. Nortel declared bankruptcy in 2008.
Shares of Cisco were down 0.7% to 22.17 in trading Thursday, while Nortel's stock was up 2.9% to $0.0072

Assisted Reproduction: Managing an Unruly Technology

Get AccessAbstract
Technology is "unruly" because it operates in a social context where it is shaped by institutions, organisations and individuals in ways not envisaged when it was first developed. In the UK assisted reproductive technology has developed from strictly circumscribed beginnings as a treatment for infertility within the NHS, to a service which is more often offered by commercial clinics and purchased by clients who are not necessarily infertile. The article considers the process by which assisted reproductive technology has been created and developed, a process which is ideological rather than technical, and the social implications of its ever expanding use. In a society where the discourse around reproduction and family life is one of choice and acceptance of diversity of life styles, the conditions are set for further "unruliness" supported by clinicians and commercial interests. The HFEA, public consultations and media coverage tend to subscribe to the way ethical issues are framed by those interested parties, an approach that favours increased liberalisation.

Monday, September 12
Minute Maid Park
Attendance: 22,231
Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Brett Myers posted back-to-back wins for the first time this year and Carlos Lee belted a two-run homer, as the Astros upended the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-1, in Roy Oswalt's return to Houston.
Oswalt (7-9), the second-winningest pitcher in Astros history, was touched for 11 hits and five runs in an unsuccessful return to his stomping grounds.
Myers (5-13) countered with eight innings of one-run ball, allowing just six hits in the opener of a three-game series.
"We can beat the better teams on any given night," Myers said. "Hopefully we keep it up."
The NL East-leading Phillies had a shot to clinch a playoff spot as a result of the Cardinals losing on Monday, and they held the early lead on Pete Orr's RBI single in the second inning,
But Oswalt simply didn't display the arsenal he showed off frequently during his 10-year stint in Houston. The veteran right-hander never retired the side over his seven frames, and yielded run-scoring hits to Humberto Quintero and Jimmy Paredes in the fourth.
Lee took an 0-2 hanging breaking ball over the wall in left for a two-run shot in the sixth, and Brian Bogusevic tacked on an RBI groundout an inning later.
Myers, also pitching against the team he broke into the majors with, threw 71 of his 107 pitches for strikes, as the Astros won for just the third time in 10 games.
"He's played with us and he knows how to pitch to us. He did a tremendous job," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said of Myers.
Philadelphia has dropped consecutive games on the heels of a six-game winning streak.

text: Well, after years of debate, and a recent opportunity.....I finally landed myself a brand new G36. I'm liking the feel and hopefully get it to the range this week. As we all know, stock Glock sights are for newbies. Since I'm not a Glock newbie, I'm asking what is the best set of sights in your opinion to put on a G36 for anything? Your experience etc. I'm just thinking a little bit different this go round than from what I've done before. Keep in mind I want these to be night sights as well. I've been looking at plenty. I've gone with Glock OEM, SIG, Trijicon, and Meprolight sights in the past. Is it time to find something new? Been homing in on the TruGlo TFO sights as interesting. Give me your honest opinions. Experience with one or more will help. Thanks.

Spotless, safe, close to the center of town while quick access to the highway. Excellent facility, reasonable priced and a staff that goes out of their way to services its guest...
It's home away from home..
The staff actually assisted the guest in clear snow from covered cars.. Who does that?? They do...
Valentine's Day getaway

Would recommend
February 16, 2015
I was very pleased with our stay at Candlewood. The beds were comfortable. The entire room was very clean including the bathroom. The lighting in the bathroom was not very bright, though.
We stayed on a Thursday night and it was quiet.
Business experience at Candlewood

The cost of the stay was very reasonable, the amenities were adequate, the staff was friendly, the workout room could have been in better condition (better treadmill), internet was adequate, everything worked well enough that I found it to be very usable for a work stay.

In geology, the unsorted material deposited directly by glacial ice and showing no stratification. Till is sometimes called boulder clay because it is composed of clay, boulders of intermediate size, or both. The rock fragments are usually angular and sharp rather than rounded, because they are deposited from ice and have undergone little water transport. The pebbles and boulders may be faceted and striated from grinding while lodged in the glacier.

Cultivation technique in which the soil is disturbed only along the slit or hole into which seeds are planted. Reserved detritus from previous crops covers and protects the seedbed. Primary benefits are a decreased rate of soil erosion; reduced need for equipment, fuel, and fertilizer; and significantly less time required for tending crops. The method also improves soil-aggregate formation, microbial activity in the soil, and water infiltration and storage. Conventional tillage controls weed growth by plowing and cultivating, but no-till farming selectively uses herbicides to kill weeds and the remains of the previous crop. No-till farming is one of several primitive farming methods revived as conservation measures in the 20th century.

German peasant trickster of folk and literary tales. The historical Till is said to have died in 1350; anecdotes associated with his name were printed circa 1500 in Low German and from 1515 in High German. In the tales the stupid yet cunning peasant demonstrates his superiority to the narrow, dishonest, condescending townsmen, as well as to the clergy and nobility. The tales were translated into Dutch and English (circa 1520), French (1532), and Latin (1558).

Till is unsorted glacial sediment. Glacial drift is a general term for the coarsely graded and extremely heterogeneous sediments of glacial origin. Glacial till is that part of glacial drift which was deposited directly by the glacier. It may vary from clays to mixtures of clay, sand, gravel and boulders. Clay in till may form in spherical shapes called till balls. If a till ball rolls around in a stream, it may pick up rocks from the streambed and become covered by rocks; thence it is known as an armored till ball.
Till is deposited at the terminal moraine, along the lateral and medial moraines and in the ground moraine of a glacier. As a glacier melts, especially a continental glacier, large amounts of till are washed away and deposited as outwash in sandurs by the rivers flowing from the glacier and as varves in any proglacial lakes which may form. Till may contain alluvial deposits of gems or other valuable ore minerals picked up by the glacier during its advance, for example the diamonds found in Wisconsin, Indiana, and Canada. Prospectors use trace minerals in tills as clues to follow the glacier upstream to find kimberlite diamond deposits and other types of ore deposits.
Traditionally (e.g. Dreimanis, 1988) a further set of divisions has been made to primary deposits, based upon the method of deposition.
Van der Meer et al. 2003 have suggested that these till classifications are outdated and should instead be replaced with only one classification, that of deformation till. The reasons behind this are largely down to the difficulties in accurately classifying different tills, which are often classified based on inferences of the physical setting of the till rather than till fabric or particle size analysis data.

Averages for London in May
Weather Overview
May is a very pleasant time to visit London, UK, when the weather is mild and the flowers are blooming. At this time of year, the average temperature for the month is 13°C, considerably warmer than any of the previous months. Daily highs start off at around 16°C on May 1st and gradually rise until they reach 19°C by May 31st, rarely falling under 12°C or going over 23°C. Daily lows follow a similar pattern and begin at 9°C on May 1st before rising up to 12°C by May 31st, dropping below 7°C or exceeding 14°C only one day out of every ten.
In recent times, the highest ever recorded temperature for London in May is 32°C, with the lowest ever recorded temperature being 3°C. Take a look at these temperatures alongside the average temperature for the month – 13°C – and it's clear to see that they're the extremes and certainly aren't what you should be prepared for during your holiday.
With 50mm of rainfall spread across 15 days throughout the month, it's highly likely you'll experience at least some type of precipitation during your visit. Moderate rain is the most likely type of precipitation which tends to fall on May 2nd. This is followed by light rain which most commonly occurs around May 23rd. As the month goes on, the likelihood of rainfall varies very little, with the average probability on any given day a constant 48%. Fortunately, snowfall is almost unheard of at this time of year. If you don't want to risk any rainfall ruining your holiday, you're best off planning your visit for the second week in May.
London generally experiences a lot of cloud coverage throughout the year and May is no exception. The median cloud coverage for this month is 70% which does not vary substantially across the month. Despite the rain and cloudy spells, May is almost never affected by any foggy days.
At 11°C, the average sea temperature for the closest coastal location to London is significantly warmer than the previous months. In spite of the increase in temperature, the sea in May is still far too cold to enjoy a dip or swim.
Across May, the relative humidity for London fluctuates between 48% and 87%, falling below 35% or rising above 94% very rarely. The air tends to be at its driest on May 2nd when the humidity drops below 54% three days out of every four. On the other hand, the air is usually at its most humid around May 31st, when the humidity rises above 84% three days out of every four.
Just like in April, London enjoys an average of eight hours of sunshine each day throughout May. As the month progresses, the number of sunshine hours and daylight hours both rise. Between May 1st and 31st, the day increases by one hour and 26 minutes. The shortest day of the month is May 1st with 14 hours and 53 minutes of daylight and the longest day of the month is May 31st with 16 hours and 19 minutes of daylight. The earliest sunrise and latest sunset take place at 4:48am and 9:07pm, respectively, on May 31st, whilst the latest sunrise and earliest sunset take place at 5:31am and 8:24pm, respectively, on May 1st.
During May, typical wind speeds vary from 1 m/s to 6 m/s, very rarely going over 9 m/s. The highest average wind speed of 4 m/s tends to occur around May 16th, during when the average daily maximum wind speed is 6 m/s. The lowest average wind speed of 4 m/s usually falls on May 31st, when the average daily maximum wind speed is 6 m/s. The wind direction is most commonly out of the south west, followed by the west and then the east, rarely coming out of the south east.

MILAN — The summer suit makes a huge comeback for next year's warmer months, in more shapes, fabrics and colors than ever before.
Once a lightweight copy of the classic winter style, the 2014 summer suit, which dominates the runway on the third day of menswear preview showings as it has throughout Milan Fashion Week, has a life all its own.
The most avant-garde suit comes with a fitted jacket paired with Bermuda shorts, a look a few daring fashion followers attending the current shows have already embraced.
Other versions include a single- or double-breasted jacket worn with slim, cropped or baggy pants, a bomber jacket with matching trouser, or a sleeveless jacket to be paired with a trouser of your choice.
In many cases the suit jacket has a pushed or rolled up sleeve.
Colors and fabrics also define the new suit. Along with the staple gray, beige, blue and lots of white, the suit can come in floral or geometric prints, or such glaring colors as lobster red and fluorescent green. There are also plenty of two-tone versions with cranberry and teal the favorite combination.
Extra lightness, as well as a contemporary shine is achieved through techno fabrics and the use of lasers for intricate detailing.
The suits are all worn without ties, and in many outfits the T-shirt replaces the classic shirt.
When it comes to style, Giorgio Armani never disappoints.
The new Emporio collection, Armani's second line, presented is more about research than about shape.
Presenting an elegant wardrobe titled "Digital," Armani takes classic menswear favorites — suits, jackets, shirts, slacks and pullovers — and makes them contemporary through the use of techno fabrics and laser techniques.
Shapes become extra light, linings disappear and zippers and press studs replace buttons. Heat welding gets rid of seams as in the rough cut light wool jacket or the straight-legged trouser with pleated waist for extra comfort.
Colors range from Armani blue to teal green, to putty beige and ice white, all made more luminous by high tech mingling of cotton and yarns. Punctures are laser etched into super soft leather, creating a digital effect.
The Gucci menswear collection for next summer is short and very sweet.
When after only 10 minutes the models returned to the runway for the finale parade, the fashion crowd still had their notebooks open waiting for more of creative director Frida Giannini's romantic take on next summer.
Flowers show up everywhere from embroidery on the cotton knit sweaters to the floral prints that tinge pants, T-shirts, suits and a reinvented Mackintosh raincoat. Floral prints are also used for a silk jumpsuit and the latest Gucci jacket, in the style of a shirt, a popular look on the current Milan runway.

Hearing loss in both ears, the right is especially bad. I discovered last summer while sleeping with window open that if I roll over onto my good ear that I can't hear crickets. They just disappear. Tinnitus comes and goes on a daily basis. It first starts with pressure and the ringing begins.
My hearing loss probably came from lots of ear infections as a kid and working on the flight line in the Air Force. I warn my kids about listening to their iPods too loud. Once your hearing is gone, its not coming back.

About five dozen law enforcement officers from Johnstown, state police and elsewhere conducted a "saturation patrol" Tuesday evening and early Wednesday that resulted in citations being issued and arrests being made.
Eight people were arrested on misdemeanor offenses, the majority of which were drug-law violations, said state police Cpl. John M. Feather of the Ebensburg station.
One person was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, he said.
One motorist was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence, Feather said, and a total of 16 warrants were
Officers also issued about eight traffic citations for violations such as driving under suspension and not having their vehicles registered, he said.
About 25 written traffic warnings were issued for violations such as inoperable taillights, expired inspection stickers, windshield obstructions and speeding.
Three people were issued summary offenses. Two of them were cited for disorderly conduct and one for public drunkenness.
The state police Western Auto Theft Task Force, using a registration-plate reader that was mounted on a vehicle, scanned 2,191 registration plates to ensure that the vehicles were not stolen, Feather said.
Saturation detail units assisted the Johnstown police on a wide variety of calls including domestic violence, vehicle crashes, disturbances and calls about a suspicious person or suspicious vehicle, he said.
"The saturation enforcement detail went very well," Feather said. "We are pleased with the results."
Law enforcement officials plan a similar joint detail in the future, he said.
In addition to the city police and the Cambria County Sheriff's Office, state police troopers from the Ebensburg, Somerset, Indiana and Greensburg stations were involved, Feather said.
State probation and parole officers also were involved.
A state police helicopter assisted from the air.

Yahoo Aims For Simplicity With $30M Summly Acquisition
Enid Burns for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
Yahoo has acquired Summly, a mobile news aggregator that aims to make the gathering of news and information simple. Summly was acquired for a reported $30 million; 90 percent in cash and 10 percent in stock, according to AllThingsD.
The mobile news aggregator has some high-profile relationships and investors. Summly works closely with News Corp, and is backed by Chinese investor Li Ka-Shing and angel investors including Ashton Kutcher and artist Yoko Ono, Yahoo News reports.
Summly has been downloaded nearly one million times since its launch.
The 18-month old Summly's founder is 17-years old, younger than most of the interns who serve at Yahoo. Yahoo gives a little background on founder Nick D'Aloisio, who formed the company when he was 15, on its blog detailing the acquisition.
D'Aloisio describes the acquisition as the perfect fit in a memo that runs atop the company's page.
"Our vision is to simplify how we get information and we are thrilled to continue this mission with Yahoo!'s global scale and expertise. After spending some time on campus, I discovered that Yahoo! Has an inspirational goal to make people's daily routines entertaining and meaningful, and mobile will be a central part of that vision. For us, it's the perfect fit," the memo said.
Yahoo is on a bit of an acquisition spree. The search company announced the purchase of social recommendation site Jybe last week, USA Today reported. The paper also says that Yahoo will shut down the Summly app, and incorporate its technology into Yahoo's existing products. Yahoo expects Summly to enhance its existing offerings. Yahoo will use Summly's algorithmic summation technology to enhance its own app. No details were given as to when Yahoo will add Summly features to its existing mobile offerings.
"Mobile devices are at the center of how we engage with the people, experiences and interests we love. Across Yahoo!, we're focused on creating beautiful experiences that people are excited to use every day — products that inspire and delight," said Yahoo! SVP of mobile and emerging products Adam Cahan, in a blog post about the acquisition.
Both the Summly and Jybe acquisitions both work to enhance Yahoo's offerings on multiple platforms including smartphones and tablets, creating more personal experiences.
As part of the deal, three Summly employees will join Yahoo. The deal is subject to closing conditions, and is expected to close next quarter. D'Aloisio will remain in London, where he attends King's College School. He will be Yahoo's youngest employee. He commented to Reuters that because of his age, he has to wait to get access to the money he made from the sale of his company.
Yahoo shares rose $0.19 on Monday to reach $23.45 after news of the announcement. Yahoo stock has been on an upward trend since Marissa Mayer became CEO last July. Since that time the company has faced a redesign and worked to build out its offerings on multiple platforms.

Some important questions to understand why the way?
Which city in the United States had the most millionaires per square mile? Which side needed the other the most to survive? Which side actually brought the slaves into the United States to sell? Which single area still seems to run the United States in almost every sense? Introspection is good. |

I didn't think so, it had a lot of truth in it, and for many, perhaps shed some light on why there was no compromise, and how the resulting "freeing of the slaves" really did little for blacks in the south until 100 years later. The war bred resentment in the south of the union, the freed slaves, and showed how even with the slaves free, little was done to enforce their rights, they were never accepted into society in the north or the south, as equals, until the civil rights movement a century later, and the resentment remained and it touched off violence, murder and further isolated the south. A south that remained poor and still remains poorer today. The civil rights movement and the steadfast creed of non-violence from the strongest leader of that movement, MLK, can never be overestimated as to how that served this nation. That could have gone much worse than it did, and it was bad enough.

In a book I read, "Founding Brothers", the author makes the case that one a major accomplishments of the founders of our country was, by politicking and wheeling and dealing, they put off the inevitable civil war until the country was strong enough to survive it.
I think accepting slavery was the major mistake we made as a nation. The social consequences with be with us for generations to come. |

I would like to hear the compromise for slavery? What kind of compromise would be acceptable? Part time slavery? Maybe an early slavery retirement program?
In the end, slavery was incompatible with modern society. There was no compromise possible. You either have slaves or you don't. The North said no, the South said yes and was willing to rebel for the yes to stand. |
Jul 23, 2012, 12:04 PM | |
Slavery would have ended under its own weight and the South could have survived without the North. How long could the North have survived without the South?
I have never been a proponent of slavery and do in fact consider it evil. But then at one time in this country you could used opium without a prescription. That was as recently as 1970. Paregoric's formal name was camphorated tincture of opium . Robitussin A/C and Terpin Hydrate with Codeine both went by the wayside about the same time. The sad part is that we still have slavery in this country and now it involves sex work instead of back work. How many missing children are now sex slaves to some pervert either here or abroad. As bad as slavery was, not all were treated cruelly and many were prepared to work independently when slavery ended. Much discussion could take place here and in fact the life of a share cropper was many times not that much different than the life of a slave. When any person intentionally hold down the opportunity of another person by any means, including laws and taxation, their pursuit of happiness is limited and that isn't what we should have been all about. Anyone other than me ever wonder what the world map would look like if Shaka Zulu had been in control of modern weapons and had access to shipping lanes? Interesting thought. Was he good or bad. He was both. Are any of us much different? |

From the moment I slathered Palmolive dish soap on to my six-year old face, I was a facial mask devotee. You see, I had seen my mom use avocado masks. So when I saw that green dish detergent bottle staring at me from the kitchen sink, it all made sense.
Avocados are green. That stuff's green. Plus, it's gentle on hands and tough on dishes. As I luxuriated during my Palmolive facial, I had not a care in the world.
And then my mom caught me and started screaming bloody murder, "Oh. My. Gah. You'll. Get...PIMPLES!!"
Personally, I like to compare the moment to the "Mommie Dearest", wire hangers scene, but I guess it wasn't that deep.
My mom did make it crystal clear that acne was a potential pox upon our Manhattan apartment.
Palmolive-gate also taught me about the power of the facial mask.
Luckily as a beauty writer, I've been sent tons of facial masks. Though they've had differing ingredients and benefits, most of them have the same goal: healthy-looking skin. But yeah, I still hadn't found The One.
And then Bliss sent me the Multi-Face-eted All-In-One Anti-Aging Clay Mask ($50). Launched this month, this clay mask is enriched with jojoba oil, detoxifying carbon, lemon, and exfoliating glycolic acid. Don't wince when you read "clay mask"; I'm not talking about that old school clay mask that hardened to the point of no return. Like you can barely move your face. This mask is flexible and there's no strange "clay smell".
The Dealio Multi-Face-Eted Mask is an all-in-one product that promises more youthful-looking skin using the following techniques:
*Reduces visible fine lines & wrinkles
*Fades discoloration & dark spots
*Unclogs pores & visibly diminishes the look of large pores
*Brightens skin & evens skin tone
*Nourishes & deeply moisturizes
*Smoothes rough texture for velvety soft skin
I'm using it once per week and I can attest to brighter, more moisturized skin. I didn't notice unclogged pores (renegade nose whiteheads), but maybe that will come with further usage. Look ma, no Palmolive!
And now, a word from our sponsors (circa 1986). I'm just sayin...

Further signs of an improvement in the U.S. economy helped the price of oil to push above $108 a barrel on Friday and to the highest since March last year.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for August delivery was up 45 cents at $108.49 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contact rose $1.56 on Thursday.
The more heavily traded September Nymex contract was up 39 cents at $108.20 a barrel on Friday.
Oil has jumped more than $11 a barrel in July, and pushed up the price of gasoline along with it. Gasoline futures have gained 13 percent since July 1. On Thursday U.S. economic news was positive on two fronts: The Labor Department reported a drop in claims for unemployment benefits and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said manufacturing activity in the mid-Atlantic region grew in July at the fastest pace in more than two years. The recent gains by the West Texas Intermediate, or WTI, the benchmark oil grade traded on the Nymex, have narrowed the spread to the Brent contract traded in London from over $20 in the past months to less than $1 now. "Better-than-expected US economic data are providing the WTI price with upward momentum and so is the sharp reduction of U.S. crude oil stocks in past weeks," said a report from analysts at Commerzbank in Frankfurt. "It cannot be ruled out that for the first time in three years WTI could become more expensive than Brent again in the near future. That said, we do not believe this situation will last, given the fact that US oil production is still rising and stocks are still high in the US." Although they remain near historical highs, U.S. stockpiles of crude oil have been reduced by 27.1 million barrels over the past three weeks, according to the Energy Department.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Indiana Gets New Military Helicopters for "Homeland Security Missions"
Posted By admin On May 12, 2014 @ 11:07 am In Featured Stories,Paul Watson Articles,Tile | Comments Disabled
Choppers capable of spotting guns without being detected
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
May 12, 2014
The Indiana National Guard has purchased two military UH-72 Lakota helicopters which will also be used by local law enforcement and the DHS for "homeland security missions".
"The Lakotas, manufactured by the Airbus Group, will also aid local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in case of an emergency," reports the Indiana Daily Student [1], adding that the helicopters "will also aid in homeland security missions".
The chopper is renowned for its "maneuverability and power" and also features sophisticated sensor technology used for "automatic target tracking" that can "spot a weapon or read a license plate rom a distance where the Lakota remains undetected," according to a promotional video for the helicopter.
The on board system can also transmit live video feed to a ground station up to 30 miles away while an individual can easily be followed via high power search lights linked up with the sensor system.
The chopper is normally used to pursue drug traffickers on the Mexican border as well as for search and rescue missions, but will now be utilized to keep tabs on residents of Indiana, which some will see as another sign of America's increasing lurch towards a militarized police state.
Given that the Department of Homeland Security is now targeting groups named "Free Americans Against Socialist Tyranny" [2] as part of its exercises, it's unsurprising that many conservatives fear the federal government is paying an unhealthy amount of attention to people with certain political beliefs while some 68,000 convicted illegal immigrants are released [3] each year.
As we have exhaustively documented [4] on numerous occasions, federal authorities and particularly the Department of Homeland Security have been involved in producing a deluge of literature which portrays liberty lovers and small government advocates as extremist radicals, a chilling trend given the Lakota helicopter's specialty at detecting guns from a distance.
The increasing use of military hardware in the field of domestic law enforcement has caused consternation amongst some who see the police's role as changing from 'protect and serve' to treating the American people as some kind of enemy. Since the winding down of operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Department of Defense has been donating armored vehicles [5] to the Department of Homeland Security which in turn has been selling them to police departments across the country.
Former Marine Corps Colonel Peter Martino, who was stationed in Fallujah and trained Iraqi soldiers, warned last year [6] that the Department of Homeland Security is working with law enforcement to build a "domestic army," because the federal government is afraid of its own citizens.
Martino was speaking at a council meeting concerning a decision to purchase a BearCat armored vehicle. The purchase of the vehicle has surrounded by controversy after the city's Police Chief wrote in an application [7] filing to the DHS that the vehicle was needed to deal with the "threat" posed by libertarians, sovereign citizen adherents, and Occupy activists in the region.
Another resident at the meeting who grew up in Czechoslovakia also warned of parallels between Communists using tanks in her former country as a means of intimidation to suppress free speech.
Indiana's purchase of the two military choppers, partly for "homeland security missions," is another disturbing benchmark of the increasingly blurred line between military operations and domestic law enforcement.

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.

The structure of matter is related to symmetries on every level of study. CPT symmetry is one of the most important laws of field theory: it states the invariance of physical properties when one simultaneously changes the signs of the charge and of the spatial and time coordinates of particles. Although in general opinion CPT symmetry is not violated in Nature, there are theoretical attempts to develop CPT‐violating models. The Antiproton Decelerator at CERN has been built to test CPT invariance.
Several observations imply that there might be another deep symmetry, supersymmetry (SUSY), between basic fermions and bosons. SUSY assumes that every fermion and boson observed so far has supersymmetric partners of the opposite nature. In addition to some theoretical problems of the Standard Model of elementary particles, supersymmetry may provide solution to the constituents of the mysterious dark matter of the Universe. However, as opposed to CPT, SUSY is necessarily violated at low energies as so far none of the predicted supersymmetric partners of existing particles was observed experimentally. The LHC experiments at CERN aim to search for these particles.

However, some lawmakers say New Mexico is veering off course.
