Politicians on vacation
Presidents and politicians — they're just like us! At least in that they take vacations, too.

Here are some details about my project: | |
Category | Quilting |
Type | Home Decor |
Style | Casual |
What materials did you use? MODA charm pack. And I followed Jenny Doan's instructions from Lesson 4 for the disappearing 9 square.
What are you most proud of? I'm proud that I finished it in time to give to my friend, Kelly, for her birthday.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Just go for it. If you use a charm pack, you don't have to worry about how it'll turn out. I quilted it myself, using a mixture of pebble and daisy patterns. This was the most time-consuming element. If you don't want to get caught up in the time it takes to machine-quilt yourself, go to a professional long arm quilter!

Kirk Says U.S. Visa Restrictions Hobbling Business Efforts |
Published on Mon, Mar 05, 2012
U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said the nation's policy for issuing visas is hurting the economy by limiting tourism and blocking overseas buyers of American products from coming to the U.S. for training.
"We will engage on the visa issue, which is frankly crippling us right now," Kirk said today in Washington. "We hear from business after business, 'We go, we make these sales, and my customers can't get a visa to come here to learn how to use the product.' We are past-due to have a common-sense immigration policy, and we need to have visa reform as part of that."
In January, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said the nation needs to ease restrictions on immigrants who plan to open U.S. businesses, and create a separate visa for potential entrepreneurs.
Efforts at overhauling immigration laws are stymied in Congress, including a proposal to let temporary foreign workers enter the U.S. and help illegal immigrants advance toward citizenship. The debate has overshadowed the need to change the U.S. visa program, according to the Chamber, the largest business group.
Current laws make it difficult for people to enter the U.S. and start a business, according to a Jan. 25 report from the Chamber and the Immigration Policy Center of the American Immigration Council, a Washington-based nonprofit. Expansion of the visa program would also aid companies' access to foreign- born graduates of U.S. universities, helping economic growth, the authors of the report said.
Speeding Visas
President Barack Obama on Jan. 19 gave the departments of Homeland Security and State 60 days to write a plan for speeding visa applications from China and Brazil. Obama's order recommends cutting the process to three weeks from four months.
Visa-processing capacity in China and Brazil must increase 40 percent in the next year, according to the order.
"Our tourism numbers are up, but one of the things constraining it is the difficulty some people are having in getting visas," Kirk said in remarks at a meeting today of the National Association of Counties.
Speeding the visa progress may create 1.3 million jobs and add $850 billion to the economy by 2020, the National Retail Federation said in a Jan. 19 report, citing the U.S. Travel Association.

After two *introductions* to the Go language here's a chance to have a more in-depth look at it!
Andrew Gerrand (**) will talk about one of Go's key design goals: code adaptability and how the language makes it easy to take a simple design and build upon it in a clean and natural way.
In his talk he will describe a simple "chat roulette" server that matches pairs of incoming TCP connections, and then use Go's concurrency mechanisms, interfaces, and standard library to extend it with a web interface and other features. Although the function of the program changes dramatically, the inherent flexibility of Go allows the original design to remain intact as it grows.
(**) Andrew works for Google and is a Go core team member, https://twitter.com/enneff
Andrew really knows his stuff!! Clear examples and some entertaining demos and live coding exercises help drive the message home :)

Band unity saves lake from development
Page 2
The chiefs of the Okanagan Nation Alliance say it is the first time they can remember the federal government keeping a promise, but now that the seven non-treaty bands have had their sacred lake returned to them they are commending federal negotiators for a job well done.
The federal government will pay $720,000 to purchase Spotted Lake, near the town of Osoyoos, on behalf of the Alliance. The deal was announced on Oct. 26, said Osoyoos Chief Clarence Louie.
The British Crown had agreed in the 1860s to set aside the land the lake is on for a reserve, and permitted the bands to put a fence around it in 1911, but the province sold it in 1930.
Now the matter of ownership is resolved, Louie said, they are planning a celebration.
"The bands have committed time, effort and resources, and a planning group to organize the celebration date in the spring," he said. "One would be private, just for the Okanagan people, and one would be public . . . because the general public was very supportive of the Okanagan people getting this lake back." He added he got phone calls and e-mails from people from all walks of life, including teachers, business people, government members and local media. "Both celebrations will be pretty special."
The former holders of title to the lake, the Smith family, had refused to meet or speak with the Okanagan chiefs, and had demanded $1.2 million for the land through their lawyer.
In commercial terms, the property was believed to be worth $250,000 and the Alliance had previously offered half a million.
In the end, it was "money" that brought the two sides to a settlement, said Chief Dan Wilson of the Okanagan Indian band.
The Okanagan Nation had tried to get the government to buy the property for years, as the government had committed to do, but the issue became critical when the Smith family indicated they intended to turn Spotted Lake into a cash cow.
It had already been exploited: As a result of mining for minerals used in flares for the First World War effort, the lake lost its unique rainbow colors.
Wilson said their Elders told them that the lake had lost its rainbow colors "because it was not being respected." Now the color is starting to return.
The Alliance was aghast when an invitation to tender bids to haul 10,000 tons of mineral mud from the lake was placed in the Osoyoos newspaper, although Wilson now believes that was a pressure tactic to get the federal government to meet their demands.
The issue caused the seven bands to strengthen their ties and to raise money for their cause and gain public support.
Not only that, but for the first time in more than 100 years, they built their exceptionally fast, dugout cottonwood canoes to make a "unity trek" from the head of Okanagan Lake down to Washington, where the Okanagan River empties into the Columbia River. This was their response to a vision by one of their Elders, who said if they didn't make this trip they were "in danger of falling apart as a people," Wilson said.
Eleven months ago, the Alliance said that under no circumstances would they allow the Smiths to mine the mineral-rich mud from the 365 pools in the lake and sell it for spa and cosmetic purposes.
Band members kept watch to make sure that didn't happen. The situation threatened to get extremely ugly.
Rising tension in the Okanagan Nation as a result of the proposed commercialization of the lake caused the federal government to fast-track the purchase.
"By acting as a nation, we were able to get the province to bend and Canada to bend, and I think it should be an example to all nations out there to get united and start acting as a nation," Wilson concluded.

There were never strawberries
like the ones we had
that sultry afternoon
sitting on the step
of the open french window
facing each other
your knees held in mine
the blue plates in our laps
the strawberries glistening
in the hot sunlight
we dipped them in sugar
looking at each other
not hurrying the feast
for one to come
the empty plates
laid on the stone together
with the two forks crossed
and I bent towards you
sweet in that air
in my arms
abandoned like a child
from your eager mouth
the taste of strawberries
in my memory
lean back again
let me love you
let the sun beat
on our forgetfulness
one hour of all
the heat intense
and summer lightning
on the Kilpatrick hills
let the storm wash the plates

Cities of proud hotels, Houses of rich and great, Vice nestles in your chambers, Beneath your roofs of slate. It cannot conquer folly,-- Time-and-space-conquering steam,-- And the light-outspeeding telegraph Bears nothing on its beam.
The politics are base; The letters do not cheer; And 't is far in the deeps of history, The voice that speaketh clear. Trade and the streets ensnare us, Our bodies are weak and worn; We plot and corrupt each other, And we despoil the unborn.
Yet there in the parlor sits Some figure of noble guise,-- Our angel, in a stranger's form, Or woman's pleading eyes; Or only a flashing sunbeam In at the window-pane; Or Music pours on mortals Its beautiful disdain.

Bonus Poem:
If you believe in ghosts, I think you must believe that earth's good smells live on and that the dead will act on fury and on fear.
You must believe that, while the dead are under the dirt or parked in urns, they still have a plan. They want to see their favorite movies
again and scratch their dogs' bellies, make love in warm places and buy chocolate at the market. I've sensed ghosts now and then, turned to where I thought
my mother's eyes might watch or my father's fingers might touch. I've found my cupboard door ajar and heard wild words in the dark. If you believe
in ghosts, you must believe that living is not a huge salt sea, but a shallow stream in which most things, like the restless dead, stay afloat.

Diarrhea is a common side effect of Protonix whether you have gastrectomy or not.
Protonix is in a group of drugs called proton pump inhibitors. It decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
Protonix is used to treat erosive esophagitis (damage to the esophagus from stomach acid), and other conditions involving excess stomach acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

With the release of David Fincher's movie The Social Network, on- and off-screen Facebook foes Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss have been delighted enough with their portrayals to attend a New York premiere and follow-on Harvard Club celebration. They also took the time to pick a few nits about the movie while watching it with a Bloomberg Businessweek writer, saying of the flick that Mark Zuckerberg "has never shown that inner turmoil."
Here's something else they probably don't like: The way it's ending in real life. While the closing credit's of The Social Network note the fact that the ConnectU founders settled for $65 million, the real story is far from that simple. In fact, despite winning a $65 million settlement from Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook, their legal escapades appear to have landed them in legal limbo with a $13 million bill.
Not long after settling with Facebook for $45 million in Series D preferred stock and $20 million in cash, according to unredacted transcripts first discovered by the AP, ConnectU founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, along with co-founder Divya Narendra and father Howard Winklevoss, refused to pay their lawyers and instead sued them for malpractice.
The group is appealing a California case accusing Facebook of fraudulently inflating the value of the company when issuing their shares, in effect diluting the ConnectU settlement. While they pursue that appeal, the ConnectU founders argue that they shouldn't have to pay the lawyers who got them the settlement, since their fee was contingent on its finality. New York state ruled against that argument and forced the Winklevosses into arbitration, where a panel ruled against them in August. A panel of judges last week upheld the ruling and the Winklevosses now have a short window to show cause for challenging the arbitration ruling.
According to a contract published below, the Winklevosses owe their lawyers $13 million. They had agreed to pay Los Angeles-based Quinn Emanuel 20% of the total sum of their settlement with Facebook. The lawyers' cut of the $65 cash and stock settlement? $13 million, paid in cash, not Facebook stock.
The arbitration panel has ruled that the Winklevosses owe that $13 million now, even though they're still appealing the California case. No wonder they wouldn't want to pay up: that's 20% of a settlement they refuse to accept until it gets bigger.
What's curious is that by most accounts it already has.
Secondary stock markets like Sharespost value the recent common stock shares at up to $85, but not all valuations are so generous. In July an analyst firm called NeXt Up Research valued Facebook at $11.1 billion to $12.5 billion, a number that happens to coincide with about 10 times the industry's best revenue guesses. Under this more conservative valuation, Facebook's per share price is pegged at $25.01 to $28.13. Splitting the difference, that's $26.57 a share or $33.3 across all 1.2 million ConnectU shares. Multiplied by the 1:4 ratio of common to preferred stock implied in the California court transcripts, it could be $133 million worth of Facebook paperwork.
Yet not accepting that preferred to common stock ratio is at the core of the Winklevosses appeal in California. They say if Facebook really wanted to give them $45 million work of stock it would have done so in common shares at the $8.89 per common share that its Section 409A valuation implied. They, ConnectU, should have gotten 5 million shares instead, they say.
Facebook defends itself saying that its Fair Market Valuation was based on the value of common stock and not the preferred stock it gave the Winklevosses and Narendra. According to Keith Rabois, a noted Silicon Valley early investor, the ratio of preferred stock to common stock is rarely 1:1 in early-stage companies, although the disparity typically evens out over time.
However they were valued, ConnectU's Facebook shares are likely worth more today than they were in 2008, which would mean an exponential increase in the value of its settlement if ConnectU can revise the deal to get more shares for its $45 million. Is the legal risk worth it? Perhaps we'll see the answer in another Zuckerberg film. If the appeal is upheld the escrow money will revert to Facebook and Narendra and the Winklevosses will have to start over from scratch.

Leila Abouzeid (Arabic: ليلة أبو زيد) (born 1950, El Ksiba) is a Moroccan author.[1] She writes in Arabic and is the first Moroccan woman writer of literature to have her works published in English-language translation.

Relationship with the French[edit]
Leila's radio show was unique because it was spoken in Arabic, as opposed to French. Almost every radio broadcast was done in French because the radio was a business, and French was used in business. As part of her program, she translated movie scripts into Arabic and did dramatic readings. One of these was the famous autobiography of Malcom X. She translated this script into Arabic and read it theatrically over the air.
Reading other people's books may have led her to make her own work instead. She still to this day refuses to use French because it is the language of their foreign invaders, and Arabic is both Morocco's true language and Islam's language. Speaking Arabic, English and French, Abouzeid still uses primarily Arabic because she does not want to conform to the foreign culture that has taken over her country. She does not want to stand for a culture that she is not a part of. To Leila, the use of the French language is being submissive to invaders that are not even present anymore. In The Last Chapter Leila explains her opinion on the use of French in her school years in her closing chapter called Afterword: by the author:
"I was in a private school in Rabat where Arabic and French were the languages of instruction. I loathed reading in French and developed an aversion to using it outside the classroom. This early position against the language of the colonialist proved fortunate, as it kept me from becoming one of the post-colonial Maghrebi [North African] writers producing a national literature in a foreign language. My intense aversion toward French may explain why I turned to English as my means of communication with the West" (Abouzeid,The Last Chapter 153).
Leila expresses her contempt for the French and their language, and even while she was young and in school she hated French. Again in the novel she mentions her hatred for French schooling, "I feel bad for ademoiselle Doze, even if she was French" (Abouzeid, 6). Leila also has reasons to hate the French that are very personal. The French had arrested and tortured her father for being, and had forced the language upon her. This made her hate the French from a very young age. She does not show any hate for other foreign languages like the nglish language because they have not personally caused harm to her.
Year of the Elephant[edit]
Her first book called Year of the Elephant was published in 1980, and was published in English in 1989 by Texas University. Her book was not translated into French at any point. Year of the Elephant was named after a battle in Islamic history. The story of the battle is that during an early religious based battle, a flock of birds came and dropped stones on the enemy elephants, causing them to turn around. She compares this historic battle to the Moroccans battling for independence because they are mere birds compared to the gigantic global power of their French rulers.
Mentions of women's education[edit]
In The Last Chapter, there are only two girls in Aisha's classroom of 42 students. Out of those two, only Aisha graduated. The misogyny present in real life Morocco is mirrored through this book. In Morocco, women are not very well educated, and something like two women in a class was typical and accepted. Leila did very well in school because of the brain she was not expected to have. Men assumed women were born with no intelligence, but this is because their education was stifled by the patriarchal government. Women like Abouzeid can actually be very intelligent. In a study in 2009, literacy rates in Morocco were recorded at 39.6% for women, 65.7% for men, and only 10% for women from rural areas (DoS p. 2). This represents the sad truth of the unfair education in Morocco. Women are barely educated, and a majority of them cannot even read, while most men are literate.
Topic of identity in work[edit]
Her work touches upon the identity of people, and the nature of the possession of it or lack thereof. In the beginning of The Year of the Elephant, the main character is wandering the streets after a devastating divorce. As she barely holds onto the will to live she states, "I feel nothing. Have I lost my own identity?" (Abouzeid, Year of the Elephant, 2). Her divorce has taken away her personality and sense of self entirely. Identity is again brought up in The Last Chapter regarding the lost teacher Mademoiselle Doze. Aisha's teacher had been rejected by her fiancé, and she became a shell of her former self. Abouzeid describes her as just a body showing up for class, not Doze (Abouzeid 6). All soul that was left in her body had seemingly left, and the teacher barely existed. Aisha examines how this sudden change happened, and questions: "Can you lose your identity like you use an identification card? Does some unseen part of the machinery snap, suddenly and irreparably" (Abouzeid, pg. 6)?

BP Wants Partners to Help Shoulder Spill Cost
BP Wants Partners to Help Shoulder Spill Cost
By John Schwartz | NY Times
The other companies, however, do not necessarily see their responsibilities the same way BP does. Anadarko has suggested that BP engaged in "gross negligence" and "willful misconduct" — terms that, if proved in arbitration or court, could allow it to slip the bonds of liability under its joint operating agreement with BP. A spokesman for Anadarko, John Christiansen, said he would not comment beyond the company's previous statement, adding, "We are still assessing our contractual remedies."
BP has said repeatedly that it will pay for the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But its actions show that it does not intend to go it alone.
Newly released documents show that on June 2, BP sent out demands for nearly $400 million to its partners in the well, the Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and the Mitsui Oil Exploration Company of Japan, or roughly 40 percent of the $1 billion BP spent in May.
The amounts demanded by BP — $272 million from Anadarko and $111 million from Mitsui — reflect the provisions of each company's joint operating agreement with BP, which gives a share of liability equal to each company's share of ownership. Read more.
BP Admits Failing To Use Industry Risk Test At Any Of Its Deepwater Wells In The US
BP admits failing to use industry risk test at any of its deepwater wells in the US
BP was facing fresh criticism over its approach to safety on Saturday night after critics said it did not use an industry standard process to asses risk ahead of the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
By Rowena Mason | Telegraph.co.UK
The procedure, known as a safety case, was developed in Britain after the catastrophic Piper Alpha oil rig explosion of 1988 in which 167 people lost their lives.
Royal Dutch Shell confirmed that it always develops safety cases – a lengthy written document – on each of its thousands of wells in the world, even though they are only mandatory in some countries.
However, BP admitted to The Sunday Telegraph that it does not use safety cases on any of its US wells, including the high-pressure deep water Macondo well from which up to 60,000 barrels of oil per day are still leaking in the Gulf of Mexico.
It is now 75 days since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and sank, killing 11 men and triggering the catastrophic spill.
The US Government wants to make the safety case process a legal requirement for floating offshore drilling – one of five recommendations to change processes in the Gulf. Read more.
Should BP Nuke Its Leaking Oil Well?
Should BP nuke its leaking oil well? | Reuters via CNET
His face wracked by age and his voice rasping after decades of chain-smoking coarse tobacco, the former longtime Russian minister of nuclear energy and veteran Soviet physicist Viktor Mikhailov knows just how to fix BP's oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
"A nuclear explosion over the leak," he says, nonchalantly puffing a cigarette as he sits in a conference room at the Institute of Strategic Stability, where he is a director. "I don't know what BP is waiting for, they are wasting their time. Only about 10 kilotons of nuclear explosion capacity and the problem is solved."
A nuclear fix to the leaking well has been touted online and in the occasional newspaper op-ed for weeks now. Washington has repeatedly dismissed the idea, and BP executives say they are not considering an explosion--nuclear or otherwise. But as a series of efforts to plug the 60,000 barrels of oil a day gushing from the sea floor have failed, talk of an extreme solution refuses to die.
For some, blasting the problem seems the most logical answer in the world. Mikhailov has had a distinguished career in the nuclear field, helping to close a Soviet Union program that used nuclear explosions to seal gas leaks. Ordinarily he's an opponent of nuclear blasts, but he says an underwater explosion in the Gulf of Mexico would not be harmful and could cost no more than $10 million. That compares with the $2.35 billion BP has paid out in cleanup and compensation costs so far. "This option is worth the money," he says. Read more.
BP Ordered To Release Information on Well Bore Damage and Sea Floor Leaks From BP Gulf Oil Spill
BP Ordered To Release Information on Well Bore Damage and Sea Floor Leaks From BP Gulf Oil Spill
By Alexander Higgins | Alexander Higgins' Blog
Florida Oil Spill Law points us to a press release issued by Representative Markey questioning BP on the integrity of the BP Gulf Oil Spill well bore and the leaks in the the surrounding sea floor.
The Chairman of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee Rep. Ed Markey is now questioning not only if oil and gas are seeping out of the damaged casing into the seabed and surrounding rock, but whether oil and gas may be rushing IN to the casing after BP drilled into oil formations above the target reservoir.
The press release from Rep Markey reads:
WASHINGTON (June 23, 2010) – In an extensive inquiry letter sent to BP today, Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) asked the company about the progress and design of the relief wells, which are now being drilled to shut down the still-spewing BP Macondo well. This comes on the heels of yesterday's briefing by Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, where he said alternatives to the relief wells are being considered.
"The relief wells are still our best chance to end this spill," said Rep. Markey, who chairs the Energy and Environment Subcommittee in the Energy and Commerce Committee. "We need to know that these efforts are being conducted with the utmost of caution and competence, so that this gushing geyser of oil is safely shut off." Read more.
BP and Government Misleading Public About Safety Of Florida Beaches
BP and Government Misleading Public About Safety Of Florida Beaches
By Alexander Higgins | Alexander Higgins' Blog
As a tide of tarballs from the BP Gulf Oil Spill assaults the Florida coast line local Florida residents, businesses and county officials are demanding action from BP, State, and Federal Government officials in charge of monitoring and responding to the spill.
Local residents in Walton County, Florida demanded a Town Hall meeting to discuss the lack of response to the oil assaulting the coast line.
They are also demanding answers to other questions like why local beaches have been declared safe and remain open even though tarballs have been washing ashore for weeks in Florida and the DEP hasn't tested the waters for hydrocarbons since May 1st.
Ed Berry, a local businessmen, urged the commissioners to make sure the appropriate parties are being held accountable.
In his testimony he said "The children were in the water swimming. They were coming out of the water with tarballs on their face; they were wiping their face and having tar in their eyes and on their mouth." Read more, watch startling videos.
US House Approves Bill Increasing Compensation for Oil Spill Victims
US House Approves Bill Increasing Compensation for Oil Spill Victims
By Sarah Miley | Jurist via Truthout
The US House of Representatives on Thursday approved a bill that would increase compensation for injured workers and victims' families that have filed claims against BP as a result of the recent Deepwater Horizon oil spill [JURIST news archive] in the Gulf of Mexico. The bill marks the first piece of legislation passed by the House in response to the oil spill. The Securing Protections for the Injured from Limitations on Liability (SPILL) Act would change several laws applying to legal liability on the high seas. The jurisdiction of the 1920 Death on the High Seas Act, which allows families of decedents to bring a civil action in federal court, would be extended from three to 12 miles from the US coastline. The amendment would also allow the families of workers who died in the BP oil rig explosion to file a claim for both compensatory and punitive damages, including pain and suffering and loss of companionship. SPILL also amends the 1920 Jones Act to allow recovery for loss of care, comfort and companionship by a individual injured in the course of employment at sea. Representative John Conyers (D-MI) sponsored the bill, calling the previous legislation "ancient" and "outdated." Some Republicans argued that the bill was too broad because it covers all companies operating on the high seas but did not act to block its passage. Representatives from both parties did agree on at least one issue—that companies directly responsible for the Gulf oil spill should not be allowed to limit damages under outdated laws. The House passed the bill on a voice vote, and was therefore not recorded. The bill will now go before the US Senate. Read more.

The BP Environmental Catastrophe: Living on a Dying Delta
The BP Environmental Catastrophe: Living on a Dying Delta
By Dahr Jamail | Global Research
Our first full day in Louisiana finds us venturing south from New Orleans to Houma, a town about an hours drive to the southwest. It is from here we are to take a flight over the marsh to inspect the damage, thus far, caused by the ongoing BP oil catastrophe.
Walking into the office of Butler Aviation Services at the airport, the downtrodden mood, and accompanying anger, are palpable. Of course this is not assisted by the fact that Vice President Joe Biden is visiting Louisiana today.
"What would you tell Joe if he walked into your office," Robbie Butler, with the flight service of his name, asks me. He then adds, "Hey Joe, lead, follow, or get out of the way. That's what I'd tell him."
At approximately the same time Butler is telling me of these three excellent suggestions, Biden is in downtown New Orleans inside the "command center" meeting with more than 100 BP, government and military officials inside a cavernous office dubbed "the bullpen." In case anyone wasn't clear about the priorities of the US government, included in Biden's entourage are BP's chief operating officer Doug Suttles, and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. It was Jindal who, on June 2nd, sent an urgent letter to President Obama and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar regarding his grave concerns at the time of the administration's decision to place a moratorium on deepwater drilling.
The lead paragraph in that letter made it very clear how Jindal's concern is not with the ongoing catastrophic loss of ecosystems, or even the fisherpersons of his state, but with placating big oil. His letter begins: Read more.

'Recycled Island' Will Be Environmentally Sustainable and Eco-Friendly

Move over Hawaii -- there's a new vacation destination forming in the Pacific, and its name is "Recycled Island."
A Netherlands-based architecture company, WHIM, plans to contstruct the island from 97 million pounds of plastic floating in the Pacific Ocean, turning it into a fully sustainable island with enough space for half a million inhabitants, according to WHIM's Ramon Knoester.
Although plastic, the island will be green in both appearance and environmental impact. Knoester said he plans to recycle the plastic and construct the island on site, sparing the environment of long shipments across the ocean. The island will also be powered by wave and solar energy, and residents will be able to use seaweed as bio fuel and fertilizer. Read more.

BP Oil Spill: World's Largest Oil Skimmer Arrives in Gulf of Mexico
BP Oil Spill: World's Largest Oil Skimmer Arrives in Gulf of Mexico
ABC News Goes on Board Taiwanese Billionaire's 'Whale' of a Ship
By Jeffrey Kofman and Bradley Blackburn | ABC News
Of the thousands of people who've come forward with big ideas for cleaning up BP's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, one company has come forward with a giant idea it claims could collect hundreds of thousands of barrels of oily water per day and make a whale of a difference.
The company's massive skimming ship currently floating off the Louisiana shoreline is called, literally, "A Whale," and with good reason. The 1,100-foot long tanker is 10 stories tall, stamped with a blue whale on the side of its bridge, and has been specially retrofitted by its owner, TMT Shipping of Taiwan, to collect oil from the Gulf.
Upon hearing about the oil spill, now the largest ever in the Gulf of Mexico, the owner of the ship, mysterious Taiwanese billionaire Nobu Su, ordered his engineers to cut vents in the bow and redesign the tanks inside, creating the largest skimming vessel in the world. Read more.
The Dead Hand of Ronald Reagan Rises in the Gulf
The Dead Hand of Ronald Reagan Rises in the Gulf
By Dave Lindorff | Truthout
As the BP well in the Gulf of Mexico continues to spew out ever more toxic oil and methane into the sea, and as floating toxic sludge, by the millions of gallons, starts destroying the wetlands across the American Southeast, the dead hand of President Ronald Reagan is at work, making sure nothing is done to prevent yet another such disaster from occurring.
The name of that dead hand is Martin Leach-Cross Feldman, a federal judge in Louisiana, a part of the notoriously right-wing Fifth Circuit.
Feldman, appointed to the federal bench by President Reagan and approved by the Republican-led Senate in 1983, has been a craven supporter of corporations over the public interest for years. In the wake of the Katrina disaster in New Orleans, for example, the judge ruled against homeowners who tried to bring a racketeering case against Clipper Estates, the corporate owner of their housing development, claiming that the company had stolen money it collected from them allegedly for repairs, for the owner's personal use. Feldman ruled that homeowners had no standing to sue.
Now, using classic Reaganesque logic (remember our senile ex-president's mocking argument to environmentalist that because trees release carbon dioxide at night, they must be "polluters"?), Judge Feldman has issued a temporary restraining order against the White House's six-month freeze on offshore drilling. His rationale for overturning the moratorium on drilling: The government hadn't provided an adequate justification for it. Read more.

Oil Spill Media Access: Reporters Still Given The Runaround Even As Public Health Concerns Mount
Oil Spill Media Access: Reporters Still Given The Runaround Even As Public Health Concerns Mount
By Jason Linkins | Huffington Post
The latest chapter in the media's ongoing struggle to cover the Gulf Oil Spill comes courtesy of PBS Newshour's Bridget Desimone, who has been working with her colleague, Betty Ann Bowser, in "reporting the health impact of the oil spill in Plaquemines Parish." Desimone reports that on the ground, officials are generally doing a better job answering inquiries and granting access to the clean-up efforts.
But Desimone and Bowser have encountered one "roadblock" that they've struggled to overcome: access to a "federal mobile medical unit" in Venice, Louisiana: "The glorified double-wide trailer sits on a spit of newly graveled land known to some as the "BP compound." Ringed with barbed wire-topped chain link fencing, it's tightly restricted by police and private security guards."
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services set up the facility on May 31. According to a press release, the medical unit is staffed by "a medical team from the HHS National Disaster Medical System -- a doctor, two nurses, two emergency medical technician paramedics (EMT-P) and a pharmacist."
For over two weeks, my NewsHour colleagues and I reached out to media contacts at HHS, the U.S. Coast Guard and everyone listed as a possible media contact for BP, in an attempt to visit the unit and get a general sense of how many people were being treated there , who they were and what illnesses they had. We got nowhere. It was either "access denied," or no response at all. It was something that none of us had ever encountered while covering a disaster. We're usually at some point provided access to the health services being offered by the federal government. Read more.
Take Action: Can "Emergency" New Nuke Loans Be Stopped Despite Cover of War?
Take Action: Can "emergency" new nuke loans be stopped despite cover of war?
By Harvey Wasserman | July 1, 2010
Amidst a grassroots uproar over funding for the military, the nuclear power industry has again forced $9 billion in loan guarantees onto an "emergency" war appropriations bill for Afghanistan and Iraq.
Citizen opposition helped delay a similar vote scheduled last month. Now green energy advocates are again asked to call Congress immediately.
The move comes as part of a larger push for federal funding for a "new generation" of reactors.
Because independent investors won't fund them, the reactor industry has spent some $645 million in the last decade lobbying Congress and the White House for taxpayer money.
This $9 billion is for two new reactors proposed for the South Texas site, on the Gulf of Mexico, and another at Calvert Cliffs, Maryland.
Continued operations of the two reactors now at South Texas are threatened by oil gushing from BP's Deepwater Horizon. Calvert Cliffs is just 40 miles from the nation's capital.
French and Japanese companies are among the leading candidates to profit from the loans. "Nearly all the major parts that would go into new reactors will be built overseas," says the Nuclear Information & Resource Service.

Some say it may be up to 5 million gallons a day.
Whistle Blower To Testify On Oil Spill Worst Fear: BP Deliberately Sinks Oil With Corexit As Cover Up
Whistle blower to testify on oil spill worst fear: BP deliberately sinks oil with Corexit as cover up
By Maryann Tobin | Examiner
Testimony before a Senate investigative panel this week is expected to reveal what many have suspected about BP all along; they don't care about the environment, the animals that are dying, and the lives that are being destroyed by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
In a shocking interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper on June 29th, Allegiance Capitol Corporation V.P. Fred McCallister said that BP is deliberately sinking oil with the toxic chemical disbursant Corexit, to hide the size of the oil spill. By sinking the oil before it can be collected, BP won't have to pay fines on it.
McCallister said, "Everybody in Europe, where the standard practice is to raise the oil and collect it, is scratching their heads, and quite honestly laughing at what's happening in the Gulf." He added, "Everyone is looking at us and wondering why we're allowing this to happen." Read more.
TomDispatch: Stephen Kinzer: BP in the Gulf -- The Persian Gulf, How an Oil Company Helped Destroy Democracy in Iran
From TomDispatch today: From a well-known author, a powerful reminder of just what a reckless company BP has been, the almost forgotten story of how BP's great political "spill" of 1953 helped slime our world -- Stephen Kinzer, "BP in the Gulf -- The Persian Gulf, How an Oil Company Helped Destroy Democracy in Iran."
"To frustrated Americans who have begun boycotting BP," writes Stephen Kinzer, author of Reset: Iran, Turkey, and America's Future, "Welcome to the club. It's great not to be the only member any more!"
In a bracing reminder of the historical recklessness of BP that no one has yet explored, even as the Gulf of Mexico is being destroyed for generations, Kinzer, well known for his work on the CIA in Guatemala (Bitter Fruit) and the U.S. record of "regime change" (Overthrow), points out that he's been driving past BP stations long before this year's oil spill. "My decision not to give this company my business," he writes, "came after I learned about its role in another kind of 'spill' entirely -- the destruction of Iran's democracy more than half a century ago."
Here he tells just how, in 1953, BP, then known as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company and in possession of all Iran's oil, in conjunction with the CIA overthrew a democratic Iranian government eager to nationalize its own oil supplies. It was the first government the CIA ever toppled and the reckless decision of the company and the Agency would change our world in devastating ways which, like the present spill in the Gulf of Mexico, reverberated for generations.
This is an event that should have, but hasn't, come to mind in the midst of BP's latest disaster. Kinzer brings it back powerfully. He concludes:
"The oil company re-branded itself as British Petroleum, BP Amoco, and then, in 2000, BP. During its decades in Iran, it had operated as it pleased, with little regard for the interests of local people. This corporate tradition has evidently remained strong. Many Americans are outraged by the relentless images of oil gushing into Gulf waters from the Deepwater Horizon well, and by the corporate recklessness that allowed this spill to happen. Those who know Iranian history have been less surprised." Read it now.

Iraqi Energy Protests Grow
Officials call for calm and patience as citizens' fury at outages boils over, Khalid Waleed writes for IWPR.
By Khalid Waleed for Institute for War and Peace Reporting(IWPR)
The interim Iraqi government is reeling from riots and demonstrations that have erupted across the country to protest severe electricity shortages.
Anger has been growing for weeks over the continued power cuts and rising fuel prices - resulting from the demand for generators - and the stalled efforts to form a new government.
At least two demonstrators were killed June 19 in the southern city of Basra when security forces opened fire on a mob enraged after electricity was reduced to less than two hours per day.
Seventeen police were wounded in Nasiriyah on June 22 when hundreds of protesters clashed with riot troops outside provincial administrative offices. Protests have become an almost daily occurrence in some poor neighborhoods of Baghdad.
The crisis saw its first political casualty on June 23 when the embattled electricity minister, Karim Waheed, handed in his resignation to caretaker prime minister Nuri al-Maliki, whose own bid for a second term has now been cast in doubt. Read more.

Facebook Has Deleted Boycott BP, Leaving Almost 800,000 Fans Hanging | CNN I-report
As recently as 30 minutes ago, Facebook has removed the main "Boycott BP" from it's page. With it, it leave almost 800,000 fans hanging.
This group was created with the intent of sending a clear and strong message to BP and to Washington that what has happened in the Gulf has to stop everywhere.
People from all over the world shared video clips, pictures, and frustration over what has been seen incredibly slow process to an ever growing economic and environmental disaster.
Boycott BP and it's creator, Lee Perkins, have been focused in several interviews recently, one of which was done with Diane Sawyer. To say he has made a large impact in a short amount of time is an understatement.

The dirty side of 'clean' power
The U.S. is pushing India to limit the liability of nuclear-energy firms doing work in that country.
By Madhusree Mukerjee | Philadelphia Inquirer
Even as President Obama is insisting that BP pay for all the damage caused by its oil spill, his administration is leaning on the Indian government to render its citizens unable to claim damages from U.S. power-plant suppliers in the event of a nuclear accident.
Before U.S. companies enter India's burgeoning nuclear-power market, the U.S. government is pushing for legislation limiting their liability. "The passing of the bill by Indian parliament would mean a win-win situation for both the countries, generating employment as well as giving India abundant clean energy," U.S. Ambassador Timothy J. Roemer said.
Clean is a curious word to use in this context, given that the bill is necessitated by the potentially catastrophic filthiness of nuclear power. The bill in question would indemnify foreign suppliers and make India's domestic operators responsible for the costs of nuclear disasters - though only up to a point. Read more.
Engineering's Shame
A telling sign of the now 'Higher Education' Industry Mills cranking out those pieces of papers saying intelligence with bodies attached, many of those bodies shouldn't be and give those who actually sought the same professional name recognition as they deserved that and much more and not just they but us!

There are some things we humans have just one of. We have one heart, one liver, one tongue, one nose... Of course, there are probable anomalies to even these similarities. I'm sure in the annals of medicine there are cases of individuals with multiples of even these, although physiologically, we humans need just one.

Very few people can break this addiction 100%, but very few of us can't reduce our consumption by a significant amount. If you can't make it to DC, consider having a protest in solidarity with us at a local BP or ARCO/AMPM station.
Monday, July 5th-Friday, July 9th
Say "So long" to Drones!
We will be meeting in Lafayette Park every day at 9am to go to various places in DC (the Smithsonian; General Atomics, etc) to protest the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the illegal and immoral wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Never Learning The Lessons
Even though the Alaskan spill was from an Exxon Ship since that, and many other spills, the now huge oil companies have not invested in technology and crews to take care of any possible accidents nor in the needed cleanup technology for devastating accidents. If we in the construction industry cut common sense corners in building anything, especially as lessons came from past engineering mistakes or just better understanding, there'd be buildings and more collapsing all over the place or when mother nature or mother earth hits with force more deaths! Alaska's present, after 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, might be Gulf Coast's future

Tweaks for KDE4 ?
Hi there,
I use KDE 4.4.4 and have a GForce 210M in an Acer notebook. I wonder, are there some valuable tweaks for xorg.conf to make KDE performing better or to make it more stable? Thanx! |
Re: Tweaks for KDE4 ?
Disable KDE's blur effect. There is a memory leak bug in it that affects your version of KDE:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242457 |
Re: Tweaks for KDE4 ?
Re: Tweaks for KDE4 ?
There are no blur effect available in kde 4.4. Blur effect is only available from kde 4.5 and it has a great impact on performance (in my experience). Guess Nvidia and KDE team is blaming each other as usual.
Re: Tweaks for KDE4 ?
Not meaning to be silly here, but have you tried using gnome instead.
Re: Tweaks for KDE4 ?
Re: Tweaks for KDE4 ?
Kwin in KDE4 is a lot more integrated unlike Compiz is in GNOME, since it's not the window manger for the DE, distros just make it so. It wasn't too long ago people complained about Compiz performance issues with NVIDIA too.
I'm not sure if they fixed the Oxygen deco bug that hurt performance. Try a different window decoration than the default Oxygen one. |
