Dave's (1st) annual conference on tricky matters of religion and thought has been scheduled for Saturday, April 26, beginning somewhere around 2 p.m. When it will end is anyone's guess, but I'm hoping bloodshed will not be the primary cause.
This conference—a subdued party, actually—will be held at my house in Sonoma County, California. Future conferences may need to be held in a hotel suite if the number of participants grows significantly.
One or two spaces remain for anyone who might want to attend, so e-mail me if you're interested.
Thanks, burt, for getting the ball rolling.


text: Thanks for all that you guys have done to get this course up. I played it yesterday and it is sweet. I love the terrain and the tight fairways. I can't remember the last time that I threw a Roc off the Teepad for most of the holes. This is a place where a person can really work on thier wood work. I'm sure this was a lot of work and I want you to know it's greatly appreciated.

Biomimetic Research (Image 7)
June 23, 2010
Biomimetic Research (Image 7) The interior of the toucan beak which is made of a "foam" composed of bony fibers and drum-like membranes. This discovery was made by Marc A. Meyers, a professor at the University of California, San Diego's, Jacobs School of Engineering. Meyers and graduate students Yasuaki Seki and Matthew S. Schneider discovered that the secret to the toucan beak's lightweight strength is an unusual bio-composite. Using donated toucan beaks from birds that had died of natural causes, Meyers' team analyzed the beaks' density, stiffness, hardness and response to compression and stretching. They also examined the beaks with a scanning electron microscope. The interior of the beak is rigid "foam" composed of bony fibers and drum-like membranes sandwiched between outer layers of keratin, the protein that makes up fingernails, hair and horn. Like a house covered by a shingled roof, the foam is covered with overlapping keratin tiles, each about 50 micrometers in diameter and 1 micrometer thick, which are glued together to produce sheets. Just as the hook-shaped barbs on cockleburs inspired the development of Velcro, Meyers said the avian bio-composite could inspire the design of ultra-light aircraft and vehicle components with synthetic foams made with metals and polymers. "The big surprise was our finding that the beak's sandwich structure also behaves as a high energy impact-absorption system," said Meyers. "Panels that mimic toucan beaks may offer better protection to motorists involved in crashes." This science-mimicking-biology is known as biomimetic research, and researchers at Jacobs are studying structural and functional designs of everything from mollusk shells and bird bills to sea urchin spines and other biocomposites in the development of new smart materials and devices.

A photo of James C Buechting & Bill Fite going to the Jr. Prom in 1964.
I have had several brain tumors in the last several years and have started to really miss the great fun and times that we shared.
Jim was more than a friend he was my brother.
I might as well have lived at his house as much as I was there.
When he and I would do something wrong his dad (Jigg's) would go to the cabinet and get a large baby food jar that had rabbit shit in it, it was marked smart pills. He would take it and place it on the table in front of us and tell us to each take a couple of them.
Needless to say it mostly worked.
Our dream was to build a Parts Store & repair shop. Best dream ever.
Jim thanks for who you were and always being a friend.

One of the many great things about the muscle car era was the Detroit automakers ability to inject excitement and performance into EVERY model on their showroom floors. That translated to awesome ground pounding machines for virtually every buyer and a healthy list of go-fast options which allowed those buyers to specify whatever combination of equipment they wanted. Take, for example, this 1968 Plymouth GTX. Dressed in a unique bronze on black color combination, rocking a big block 440 Super Commando V8 under its hood and equipped with a super rare dealer installed dual quad intake, it's the kind of car you can take to the local strip to beat up crosstown rivals, or take on an everyday grocery run. If you're in the market for an exceptionally restored, investment grade Mopar muscle car that will provide years of fond memories and has all the right stuff to continue gaining value for the long term, this 1968 GTX is your ticket!
As the beneficiary of a full rotisserie restoration that was completed in September of 2010, this GTX exactly replicates its fender tag specifications right down to its original style redline tires:
- 1968 model year
- Plymouth GTX two door hardtop
- Assembled on December 13th of 1967

- Dana 60 Sure Grip rear axle with 3.54 gears

This stunning three owner 1968 Plymouth GTX is one of the finest Mopar muscle cars on the planet! Its complete rebuild began when Dale Wamsley of Just Metal Restorations meticulously stripped its solid original body down to bare metal and block sanded every facet into a smooth, consistent canvas. Once the cars factory accurate panels were fully prepped from beginning to end, a correct coat of Chrysler code M Turbine Bronze Metallic was expertly applied under correct black horizontal side stripes and buffed to a brilliant wet-look shine that can only be achieved with today's highly advanced paint technology. Take one look down the sides of this old school Plymouth and it becomes very apparent that it's tough, slab-sided body has been straightened and finessed until it looks smoother and lines up better than anything that rolled out of a factory in 1968. Pull the car into the sun light and its glossy urethane paint accurately reproduces Chrysler's unique bronze hue all the while protecting it under a tough and durable clearcoat shell. All that staring and comparing adds up to one super slick Mopar muscle car which wraps brutal performance and a high level of accuracy in classic lines with killer good looks.
With its impressive attention to detail, I suspect this GTX will be one of those classics that someone sees, falls in love with and buys right off the showroom floor. At the front of the car, a body-width chrome trimmed grille centers a silver "GTX" emblem between four clear headlights, a good looking body-width chrome bumper and clear, square parking lights. Above that grille, the cars smooth bronze hood, which wears two hood scoops that display subtle "440" emblems to would-be stoplight challengers, flows toward like-new glass that is cleared by stainless wipers, shielded by chrome drip rails and framed by original stainless trim. Below that glass, multi-faceted body panels, which add an unmistakable vintage flavor to the design, are detailed with cool round marker lights and giant rear mounted "GTX" emblems; and correct stainless wheel trim hangs good looking stainless rocker mouldings below traditional chrome door handles and a pristine driver's side mirror. At the back of the car, an original anodized rear valence displays a centered "Plymouth" script and chrome "GTX" emblem between elaborate tail lights and clear reverse lights; and a second body-width chrome bumper perfectly complements polished stainless exhaust tips.
Fully detailed, covered in Plymouth turquoise and currently wearing only break-in miles since a complete rebuild, this slick Plymouths 440 cubic inch Super Commando V8 is spectacular in every measurable way! The coolest thing about this legendary Chrysler mill is its dual quad Edelbrock intake that, according to a story passed down with the title and a dealer warranty sticker that's still present in the driver's side door jamb, is a correct dealer installed piece which is original to the car. At the top of that intake, two modern carburetors, which have been blasted to appear vintage, sip fuel through fresh stainless fuel lines and suck air through a fresh re-usable filter element that is clamped into a chrome Edelbrock air cleaner. At the base of that intake, a correct points distributor sends fire through Autolite Professional plug wires. And at the sides of that intake, restored original exhaust manifolds send spent gases into a great sounding true dual exhaust system. Cooling for the big engine is provided by the cars original, re-cored 26 inch Chrysler radiator which sits in front of a correct seven blade fan and an original fan shroud. And like the engine itself, the cars Turbine Bronze Metallic engine bay is highly detailed and exceptionally impressive from its correct master cylinder, rebuilt wiper motor and correctly tagged reproduction Mopar yellow cap battery to its correct hoses, correct clamps and reproduction Chrysler washer tank.
This GTX definitely has the performance to back up its sinister good looks; and with the awesome Chrysler big blocks excellent low end acceleration, you can rest assured that the cars undercarriage is chock-full of some of the best performance hardware to ever make its way out of Auburn Hills, Michigan. Behind the big bore engine you'll find a freshly rebuilt A833 18 spline 4-speed manual transmission which sends power to a correct Dana 60 Sure Grip rear end that's stuffed with stout 3.54 gears. Naturally, the front torsion bar and rear leaf spring suspension has been completely restored and includes: a rebuilt manual steering system, new rear springs and new shocks at every wheel. At the center of the car, a free flowing 2.5 inch aluminized exhaust system sends spent gases through an H-pipe crossover to two chamber Turbo mufflers and traditional stainless tips. And at the corners of the car, new stainless brake lines and new brake hoses supply fully rebuilt factory front disc and rear drum brakes which sit behind mandatory chrome Magnum 500 wheels and meaty 215/70 Turbo-Tech redline tires. The cars restored floors have been coated in the same Turbine Bronze Metallic that you'll find on both its exterior panels and inner fenders; and everything from its new stainless fuel tank to its fresh stainless chassis bolts presents just as well as when it rolled out of the restoration shop.
This Plymouths fender tag says it was originally equipped with an S6X Black interior; and accordingly, it has been restored with a roster of reproduction parts which provide the kind of jaw-dropping good looks you just can't find in today's cars. The rear bench and the front buckets seats are firm and, despite being traditional muscle car vinyl, feel much more upscale than most. At the bottom of those seats, new black carpet props a correct Hurst shifter in the middle of a correct, chrome trimmed center console; and at the top of the seats, a tight black headliner frames a correct dome light. The cars pristine, wood trimmed dash hangs fully rebuilt gauges, which include an offset tachometer, beside an original two watt Solid State AM radio which sports Chrysler's cool thumb-wheel knobs. In front of the driver, a restored, wood rimmed steering wheel sits on a rebuilt original steering column. At the sides of the seats, correct door panels hang new armrests among fresh stainless trim, new Woodgrain applique and correct gloss black door frames. And behind the cockpit, a fully restored trunk props a full-size spare tire between a reproduction mat and a correct decklid decal.
Included with the sale of this awesome GTX is a small album of restoration photos.
With a highly detailed restoration that was completed by expert Mopar builders, this awesome '68 GTX is about as close to original as a restored car can get. It's fast, comfortable, stylish, and when you take a minute to look at the quality of its workmanship, you realize that the cost of restoring it to this level is about twice what it takes to drive it out of our RK Motors Charlotte showroom. If you're in the market for an old school, investment grade muscle car that will gain value while you're enjoying it for years to come, this broad shouldered Plymouth is just what you've been looking for!

I found the following to be very enlightening. Although similar research articles have been published over the last two decades the level of detail is increasing. The evidence still indicates that humans are incredibly similar and that "race" and ethnicity are mostly social constructs. The person who persecutes someone because they are "Jewish" may very well be persecuting someone whose genetic code is actually more indicative of someone whose ancestors hail from Europe or Central Asia.
"Behar believed that among Ashkenazi Jews, R1a1 was essentially restricted to Levites. However, we know from subsequent research that R1a1 comprises nearly 12% of Ashkenazi results, while the Levites only make up about 4-5 % of the Jewish people (Nebel et al. 2005). Thus, these results extend well beyond the Levite priestly class to approximately 5-8% of the Cohanim and Israelites (the non-priestly Jewish population) as well.
Haplogroup R1a1 is relatively rare within Middle Eastern populations, but very common among Eastern European and Scandinavian populations (Behar et al. 2003). It is found at a frequency of 7% in some Near Eastern groups (Behar et al. 2004b). However, given that Sephardic groups did not share R1a1 frequencies with the Ashkenazim, it was apparent that Jewish R1a1 was probably not of ancient Israelite origin. "
"The presence of Haplogroup Q among all Ashkenazi groups indicates the founders of this group either mixed with a number of separate Ashkenazi populations or, more likely, entered to the Ashkenazi population in western Europe in a similar fashion to Haplogroup R1a1, before the Ashkenazi migrated in large numbers eastward in the 13th-14th centuries."
"The frequency of Haplogroup Q among Scandinavians is comparable to that found in Ashkenazim (Faux, private correspondence). It appears that Norwegians/Shetlanders and Ashkenazi Jews possess the highest percentages of haplogroup Q of any populations in Europe – a rare link between two very different populations who may share a common ancestor from Central Asia or Eastern Europe. Interestingly, Scandinavians and Shetlanders also possess high levels of haplogroup R1a1 as well, perhaps some of it originating from Central Asian sources (Faux, private correspondence)."
"Patai's ultimate conclusion regarding admixture is particularly intriguing given the lack of DNA data available when he wrote his book. He relied heavily on other genetic data, including blood groups, fingerprint patterns, and genetic diseases, to reach his conclusions. Despite these limitations, Patai (1989, p. 294) concluded that while Jewish populations retain evidence of their Mediterranean and Middle Eastern origins, they have clearly experienced extensive admixture with their European neighbors. He cites various authors, including Cavalli-Sforza and Carmelli, who estimate such admixture rates to be approximately 40% for Ashkenazi Jews."
"But Jewish DNA presents a picture that is far more complex than just the Cohanim results. This picture is also far more diverse than what many genetic studies on Ashkenazi Jews would suggest. Instead, many of those studies have focused heavily on the Israelite DNA results, often downplaying the significant contribution of European and Khazarian ancestors. The examination of only a single component of Jewish ancestry has resulted in an incomplete and, to a certain extent, distorted presentation of the Jewish genetic picture.
Diversity was present from Jewish beginnings, when various Semitic and Mediterranean peoples came together to form the Israelites of long ago. The genetic picture was clearly enriched during the Diaspora, when Jews spread far and wide across Europe, attracting converts and intermarrying over time with their European hosts. The most recent DNA evidence indicates that from this blending of Middle Eastern and European ancestors, the diverse DNA ancestry of the Ashkenazi Jews emerged.
Although the debate over the fate of the Khazars is far from over, DNA research suggests that remnants of these mysterious people continue to exist within the genetic makeup of Ashkenazi Jews. In fact, the Levite results indicate that the Khazars became fully integrated into the Ashkenazi communities and came to play an important role within the Jewish priesthood.
The Cohanim results do not disprove the genetic contribution of the Khazars. Rather, the DNA studies indicate that Jews are not entirely Khazarian, Israelite or European in genetic makeup, but a complex and unique mixture of all these peoples."

The smart grid and smart meters may be smart ways to save money and energy, but utility companies are finding that the technology alone might not be enough to gain consumer support.
The missing link? Communication.
"The smart grid is one of the most promising ways of remodeling the grid but consumers seem to have been left out of the equation as utilities install the meters," said Lisa Margonelli, the director of the Energy Policy Initiative at the New America Foundation, which held a discussion about the topic recently.
Margonelli said the goal of the panel was to facilitate dialog among representatives from utility companies, regulatory agencies, consumer groups and federal agencies.
"We're hoping to discuss the role of the consumer and how utilities and the fed government can all communicate with consumers and bring them into the mix and help them get benefits as quickly as possible," she said.
Panelists agreed that Smart Grid is at a critical juncture in its implementation but for different reasons.
For example, David Owen, the executive vice president of Edison Electric Institute said it is a "game changing technology" because implementation of the smart grid "will enable so many other breakthrough technologies."
Robert Leiberman, principal of the Regulatory Assistance Project said the juncture was crucial because smart grid is just as much about a new business model as new technology and "it is not clear we as a society really want to go there."
Utility companies have faced resistance across the country.
In May, Fairfax, California, passed a law banning further installation of smart meters, raising concerns about health risks, job loss and energy rate hikes.
Last month the Maryland Public Service Commission denied Baltimore Gas and Electric Company authorization to deploy smart meters and other smart grid technologies, citing financial risks to consumers.
Currently, about 7.5 million households have smart meters, five percent of the nation's 150 million households. Analysts expect that to grow by 60 to 80 million households in the next five to seven years. Yet, according to Margonelli, 75 percent of consumers don't know what smart meters are.
Margonelli says there needs to be a joint educational effort on the part of the federal government and the utilities. "Consumers don't just need to like it, they need to love it and embrace it and enter into a partnership with their utilities to change their behavior," she said.

National team competitions
27-20, 24-14, 14-25, 19-16
Pinar Karsiyaka secured top spot in Group I of the EuroChallenge Last 16 as they hung on for an 84-75 victory over BK Ventspils.
Karsiyaka built a big lead midway through the game and then hung on as a determined rally from Ventspils brought them right back in it by the end of the third period to set up a tense finish.
Karsiyaka began to take control early in the second period, with Justin Diebler scoring seven in a 13-0 run that powered them to a 38-20 lead on his three-pointer.
Akselis Vairogs and Donald Sims replied with threes for Ventspils but Umit Sonkol had also found his range from beyond the arc and hit back in kind, helping Karsiyaka build a 51-34 lead by half-time.
Abdul Aminu's lay-up stretched the advantage to 19 early in the third period but Ventspils quickly got a handle on matters and began a comeback.
The three-pointers rained in as Janis Timma, Arturs Berzins, Martins Meiers and Sandis Valters all hit from deep in a 15-2 run that cut it to 58-52 on Valters' three. Evren Buker replied with another three for Karsiyaka but Ventspils kept coming and Folarin Campbell's three-point play to start the fourth quarter cut it to 65-62.
Karsiyaka got the message and reeled off six unanswered points to make it 71-62 with 7:22 left in the contest and they held Ventspils at arm's length down the stretch.
Aminu led Karsiyaka with 16 points while Robert Dixon had 15 and Soner Senturk 13. Dibeler and William Thomas each finished with 10.
Sims led Ventspils with 16 points while Berzins had 12, and Meiers 11. Valters and Campbell added 10 each.
Karsiyaka made 12-of-22 (54.5%) from three-point range while Ventspils managed 13-of-29 (44.8%).
While Pinar move to 4-1, clear at the top of the standings, Ventspils are 2-3 with work to do.

BK Ventspils head coach Roberts Stelmahers
"Pinar Karsiyaka played really good in the first two quarters. They were hitting threes at a high percentage. We lost the game but I'm proud of my players. We are a young team and to play in such a great atmosphere was a good experience."
Pinar Karsiyaka head coach Ufuk Sarica
"I am happy to win, take first place in the group and to qualify. This was one of our targets at the beginning of the season and we made it. Dixon's early fouls and Diebler's injury put us in a hard position but with my player's efforts we overcame [our opponent]."
BK Ventspils player Arturs Berzins
"Against a very tough team in a big atmosphere it was not easy to play. We tried to come back in the second half but it was not enough to break their rhythm."
Pinar Karsiyaka player Serkan Mentese
"In the first group in Cyprus I was in the press conference and I said we will be in the final four. Now we have one more step for it. Congratulations to my team mates and I appreciate our fans for tonight."

Very Pretty Labels
The labels are very pretty. The only issue I have is that I wish they came on a sheet instead of as individual labels. These labels are designed for you to hand write each person's address. That would be great if you are having a smaller wedding. I have to address 125 labels by hand, which will be fine, but I would've rather had them sent on a sheet so I could type out the addresses and have them printed out on each label.
These labels matched perfectly with my magnets. I loved them

Union County has taken a positive step to make it easier on citizens to pay their traffic tickets to the Union County Justice Court.
The county has signed a contract with nCourt, a private online technology company, to allow tickets to be paid online with a credit or debit card. The City of New Albany already uses the same system for payments in City Court.
Larissa Edwards, clerk of the Union County Justice Court, said the county will pay nothing for the service, but ticket payers will have what is known as a convenience fee added to their ticket on the online payment.
"They will pay between 5 percent and 8 percent additional," she said. The percentage starts at 5 percent and goes up as the court date approaches, she said.
The fee covers the cost that is paid to the credit or debit card company and the fee for using nCourt's tehnology services.
Under the contract, nCourt will build, host and maintain a Web site with URL, www.unioncotix.com. Users also will be able to call a free 800 phone number to make a payment, but the convenience charge still applies.
Citations that require a court appearance will be ineligible for online payment. Citation holders will be notified by an automated e-mail if their payment has been rejected.
nCourt, which is headquartered in Woodstock, Ga., was created in 2002 and provides custom Web sites for more than 200 local jurisdictions.
Many government units are using the private service because it relieves them of the cost of building and operating a secure Web site.
We see this public-private partnership as an effective pay to provide convenience to citizens without incurring the cost of maintaining expensive technology systems at the local government level.

Obama earns green thumb for sustainability record
Monday - 9/17/2012, 3:29am EDT
Federal agencies have made noticeable improvements in the adoption of green technologies, but even small steps like double-sided printing or trimming down the number of personal printers federal employees keep on their desks are also adding up.
The President's call for the government to be a leader in sustainability has government workers at all levels thinking green.
Federal News Radio believes the administration has effectively pursued its sustainability policies. Agency culture is changing and the agencies are being graded and reviewed to make sure they are complying with a 2009 executive order calling for the government to lead the way toward a clean energy economy.
The rating is part of Federal News Radio's special report, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years. Throughout the series, Federal News Radio examines 23 different ideas and initiatives instituted by the Obama Administration and ranks them as effective, ineffective and more progress needed.
|Why Sustainability was
rated effective
#1: Agencies made notable progress toward energy sustainability goals.
Reason #2: Agencies appointed Senior Sustainability Officers.
Reason #3: GSA's Green Toolkit helped agencies buy "greener" products and services.
(More primary source material available on The Obama Impact Resource Page)
The OMB scored 15 agencies on their sustainability and use of energy. Of those, 10 received a green score in at least four of the seven categories focusing on greenhouse gas emissions, reducing energy, and increasing the use of renewable energy, reduction of water, reduction in fleet petroleum use and increase in green buildings.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the General Services Administration each earned seven greens scores. NASA and the Labor Department earned six greens while the National Archives and Records Administration, the departments of Veterans Affairs, Treasury, Interior, Health and Human Services, Commerce, Agriculture, the Smithsonian Institution and the Tennessee Valley Authority all garnered five of the highest scores.
Only the departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, and the Office of Personnel Management received three or fewer green scores. The Army Corps of Engineers received seven red scores and the scorecard for the Small Business Administration is not available.
Agency culture is also changing as a result of the "green" commitment. OMB says 61 agencies have appointed a senior sustainability officer, including all 15 cabinet agencies, and GSA's green toolkit helps agencies buy more sustainable products and services.
And the results are real.
Text continues after video
Agencies are reducing the expense of cooling buildings in the summer by replacing an old roof with a white roof that reflects light and heat. Other agencies have installed green roofs, which are covered in plants to reduce storm water run-off and also keep the building cooler.
And in West Virginia, a VA medical center reduced its food costs by buying 30 percent of its fresh produce from local farmers. The center also donates leftover food to a local veterans housing center and composts inedible food, which can eventually be used to landscape the grounds.
"In one year alone, it saved the medical center $67,000 just because of smarter purchasing habits. So it's not just about going green but it's about being more efficient both fiscally and environmentally as well," said Jon Powers, the Federal Environmental Executive of the White House's Council on Environmental Quality.
Obama appointed Powers in April. He is responsible for promoting environmental and energy sustainability across federal government operations.
Powers spoke to The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp Monday morning to talk about how well federal agencies have brought sustainable practices into the government.
"We've seen tremendous progress. We've seen reduced greenhouse gases. We've seen reduced water use. We've seen increased efforts around renewable energy. There's an understanding now, both because of the enthusiasm of many of the federal workers that are involved in this and some of the innovation and creativity they pushed towards their solutions, that this is both about making a great environmental impact but also about saving money," Powers said.
Technology and incorporating green building design standards into the 500,000 buildings and facilities the federal government operates helps accomplish many of the administration's green goals. But Powell says bringing federal workers on board is just as important. And it's taken leadership at each of the agencies, from the Oval Office down, to encourage 1.8 million civilian employees to make this happen, Powers said.
And it started with the president's executive order, which requires federal agencies to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, eliminate waste, improve energy and water performance, and to leverage Federal purchasing power to support innovation and entrepreneurship in clean energy technologies and environmentally-responsible products.
"There's no doubt about it, the president's call for leadership on this has been critical, not just a call for leadership, but actually holding agencies accountable for what they are doing," Powers said.
In his role, Powers calls senior-level agency officials each month to get a report on their progress. The agencies must also develop sustainability plans — similar to those used by major corporations like Coca-Cola and Wal-Mart — that spell out how agencies will meet specific goals, like reducing their reliance on petroleum products.
That can mean reviewing whether the agency has the right number of cars in its fleet or how to better use solar panels. The council has also organized symposiums, including one scheduled for next week, to bring together senior policy-makers and experts to share ideas and learn from one another.
"We're connecting the dots on some of these best lessons learned," Powers said.
Part 1: Evaluating the Obama administration's management initiatives
Part 2: Evaluating Obama's technology reforms
Part 3: Evaluating Obama's workforce initiatives
Part 4: Evaluating Obama's acquisition efforts

Arlington, Virginia
Arlington County is a county in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is located directly across the Potomac River to the southwest of Washington, D.C. Formerly part of the District of Columbia, the land now composing the county was retroceded to Virginia on July 9, 1846, in an act of Congress that took effect in 1847. It was called Alexandria County from that date until March 16, 1920, when an act of the General Assembly changed its name to Arlington County.
Arlington is the location of Arlington National Cemetery, Reagan National Airport, the Pentagon, Fort Myer, the Pentagon Memorial, the USMC War Memorial, the Air Force Memorial, and numerous other monuments.

I've been playing a couple of alts over the holidays. One is a 38 Priest on Skywall, and the other is a 36 Druid on Bronzebeard. Both are Alliance, and are specced for healing. But they've had a vastly different experience when using the new LFG system.
Since both characters are roughly the same level, faction, and role, it's interesting that there is such a disparity. I tend to be looking for Scarlet Monastery runs.
On Skywall, I flag myself as looking for SM - Library, and I get a full group within a minute or so. Though none of my groups have had the "optimum" make-up[1], they all function pretty well, and we clear the instance. My priest has an [Illusionary Rod] and a [Whitemane's Chapeau] (even though I can't wear the hat yet).
On Bronzebeard, I flag myself as looking for SM - Library, and I can't get a group at all. Maybe after 15 minutes, another person will join the party, but I have yet to actually get a run going. And this is for Scarlet Monastery, which is one of the most popular instances!
So for some reason, the LFG system is doing fine on Skywall, but has failed to achieve the critical mass needed on Bronzebeard.
To be honest, I've never really had the terrible experiences with pick-up groups that so many other people seem to have had. I really like this new system, as it saves me time and effort. However, it needs more people to use it.
If this tool had been in the game from the very beginning, I think it would have been a resounding success. But now, a lot of people are nervous about changing their habits. Perhaps with the introduction of the Burning Crusade, a lot more people will start using the tool, and it will be effective for everyone.
Heh, maybe Blizzard should give a small bonus in gold or xp if you are in a group formed by the tool. A Pick-Up Group bonus, if you will.
[1]Yay for druid and paladin tanking. Of course, it's helped by the fact that I'm playing a primary healer, which converts almost any group into a reasonable one. :)

New Looking For Group System
I've been playing a couple of alts over the holidays. One is a 38 Priest on Skywall, and the other is a 36 Druid on Bronzebeard. Both are Alliance, and are specced for healing. But they've had a vastly different experience when using the new LFG system.

I think the difference you noted was because priests are always in demand, while other classes are not :)
I don't remember but I think there is an option for comments in the LFG UI? You could add a comment such as "Druid-healer", see what happens.

It's not because of that. On Skywall, there are usually two or three proto-groups you can see on the LFM menu.
On Bronzebeard, there are zero. Maybe 1 with like 2 people in it.

My very worst PUGs have been (several) SM groups.
There's just something "special" about SM, I guess.
We could have used you in SM if you'd been on Rexxar / Horde at the right time.
Two separate times I was in groups trying to 'make do' with a healer who wouldn't heal; wasting mana on shadow spells (I know the sound) while our life bars dropped to dangerous levels while the priest went OOM. I mean, a mind flay on a runner is one thing, but wipes because the healer didn't ever cast a healing spell is ridiculous. Carry a wand!
And wipes in SM mean "do-over" because of the respawn rate, so it's pretty rough. The 'best' one was a wipe on Herod because the healer tried to dps him down from the get-go, went OOM, and the tank died, etc, etc, etc, etc, good night.
Historically, my experience with a priest is that I get cold invites to instances every so often.
On the other hand, my feral druid has a tough time finding a group, and he's almost always assigned to be the main healer.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To evaluate the level of phosphorus in your blood and to aid in the diagnosis of conditions known to cause abnormally high or low levels of phosphorus
When to Get Tested?
In follow up to an abnormal calcium level; when you have a kidney disorder or uncontrolled diabetes; when you are taking calcium or phosphate supplements
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or sometimes a timed urine collection (usually a 24-hour sample)
Test Preparation Needed?
Overnight fasting may be required for a blood sample; follow any instructions that you are given.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Phosphorus is a mineral that combines with other substances to form organic and inorganic phosphate compounds. The terms phosphorus and phosphate are often used interchangeably when talking about testing, but it is the amount of inorganic phosphate in the blood that is measured with a serum phosphorus/phosphate test.
Phosphates are vital for energy production, muscle and nerve function, and bone growth. They also play an important role as a buffer, helping to maintain the body's acid-base balance.
Phosphorus comes into the body through the diet. It is found in many foods and is readily absorbed by the intestines. About 70-80% of the body's phosphates combine with calcium to help form bones and teeth, another 10% are found in muscle, and about 1% is in nerve tissue. The rest is found within cells throughout the body, where they are mainly used to store energy.
Normally, only about 1% of total body phosphates are present in the blood. A wide variety of foods, such as beans, peas and nuts, cereals, dairy products, eggs, beef, chicken, and fish, contain significant amounts of phosphorus. The body maintains phosphorus/phosphate levels in the blood by regulating how much it absorbs from the intestines and how much it excretes via the kidneys. Phosphate levels are also affected by the interaction of parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, and vitamin D.
Phosphorus deficiencies (hypophosphatemia) may be seen with malnutrition, malabsorption, acid-base imbalances, hypercalcemia, and with disorders that affect kidney function. Phosphorus excesses (hyperphosphatemia) may be seen with increased intake of the mineral, hypocalcemia, and with kidney dysfunction.
Someone with a mild to moderate phosphorus deficiency often does not have any symptoms. With a severe phosphorus deficiency, symptoms may include muscle weakness and confusion. An extreme excess of phosphorus may cause symptoms that are similar to those seen with low calcium, including muscle cramps, confusion, and even seizures.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. If a timed urine sample is required, you will be asked to save all of your urine over a set time period (usually 24 hours).
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Overnight fasting may be required prior to collecting a blood sample; follow any instructions that you are given.

Cloud Computing News
Intelligence community cloud coming online in early 2013
Wednesday - 10/10/2012, 5:33am EDT
A single, shared cloud computing environment that intelligence agencies believe will save money and let them better secure their data will begin to offer some of its first capabilities within the next several months, the nation's top intelligence official said Tuesday.
James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence first announced the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise (ICITE) a year ago at the annual GEOINT Symposium. Returning to the same conference a year later, he told attendees the shared IT infrastructure will reach initial operating capability in March 2013.
"The plan is centered on cloud computing and cloud storage and the security enhancements bound up in the bumper sticker slogan, 'tag the data, tag the people,'" he told the 2012 GEOINT symposium in Orlando, Fla., Tuesday. "If we execute this right, we'll save a lot of money, but maybe more importantly, the IC will be able to take intelligence integration to the next level. We'll transition from agency-centric IT in what I would charitably call a confederation to an enterprise model that shares both resources and data. This is something we've talked about for years, but we've never had the incentive to actually do it. Now we do have that incentive, and so we must do it."
There are several milestones planned along the way, but by 2018, Clapper said, the entire intelligence community will have moved to the new architecture.
"We've progressed from concept to design to development, and importantly, we've built our budgets around this integrated architecture, so we're putting our programmatic money where our mouths are," Clapper said. "As [Central Intelligence Agency Director] David Petraeus would say, and it's critical that he did, 'We're all in.'"
Common desktop across the IC
The CIA and the National Security Agency are building a secure cloud computing architecture for the entire IC. Meanwhile, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency will work together to build an IC-wide common desktop. Clapper said it's likely to resemble the desktop computing environment NGA built for its recently-opened campus in Springfield, Va. Letitia Long, NGA's director, also speaking at the GEOINT conference, said her agency already has started testing the new desktop environment. NGA and DIA plan to have 2,000 users plugged in by March 2013. The goal by March 2014 is 60,000 users.
Letitia Long, director, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
"This enables all of us to log on from any computer anywhere in the community and get to our data and our apps," she said. "No more tunneling through networks or trying to find a computer that belongs to your own agency. Key also to us is the work that CIA and NSA are doing on the secure cloud to give us that common infrastructure. When we have that, it will enable us to rapidly scale our exploitation and processing capabilities and take advantage of all that is out there. We don't have to each build it all ourselves."
There are challenges involved in sharing IT resources between agencies though, Long said. For one, agencies and their vendors are accustomed to "point-to-point" contracting relationships in which one agency has a contract with one vendor to deliver a product or service.
"As DIA and NGA are working this common desktop environment, we have multiple contracts with our vendors, and as we try to put them together they have different terms. Some are better than others," she said. "It's a challenge, but I think it's workable."
New software licensing model needed
Another unanswered question is how the agencies will handle software licensing agreements in a shared, services-oriented technology environment that's built around interoperable data using open standards and modular apps.
"What's the compensation model when you talk about 10,000, 20,000, or 60,000 users? When an app goes viral and you have a license for 10,000, do you cut people off? Do I have to buy an unlimited license? That's unaffordable in today's environment," she said. "We need to work with our industry partners to figure out how we come up with a compensation model that works for both of us."
Some of those talks already are happening, Long said. In the target IT environment, the agency envisions 75 percent of the apps it will use being created by industry. She said NGA just held its first industry day for applications, where the agency proposed a new compensation model she said is based on commercial business practices.
"We would want developers creating apps speculatively, and then they'd be compensated based on the rating and the usage," she said. "We have incorporated a rating schema and business analytics into our app store, so we are ready to do that. We had very good conversations, and we're very helpful that we'll be able to implement such a compensation model."
Long said one of the benefits of the common IT architecture is that other agencies will be able to take a self-service approach to NGA's geospatial data, including raw data in some cases. To lay the groundwork for that, the agency aggressively is metatagging its new and existing data so that it's easy to find. And she said NGA has cleared out duplicate versions of imagery and other content so that there's now one authoritative source of each piece of data.
She said once the data is ready to be incorporated into a service-oriented architecture and accessible across the entire intelligence community, users will be able to serve themselves rather than asking NGA for help.
"You can access our content, you can tailor it, you can do what you need to do. What I ask in return is that when you do make enhancements or build a product or add to it that you share it back with us," she said. "That will enable us to learn, that will enable us to provide better service in the future. And in return, we will host it and serve it back out to the entire community. Exposing our content to tens of thousands of users, we don't know what will happen. It will be things that are un-thought of by NGA today. We've seen that happen."
Common geospatial data standards
Long said NGA also wants to host geospatial data generated by other agencies. First though, the data needs to conform to a common standard. She said as the functional manager for geospatial intelligence, NGA has the legal authority to create and publish those standards, and it's done so.
But it hasn't done a good job of enforcing their use by other agencies until recently. NGA has just finished helping the Air Force assess its compliance with the standards. A similar review is underway in the Army, and CIA is next in line.
"The feedback we got from Air Force was, 'Thanks. We found programs we didn't know we had, we found folks who were working on the same thing and didn't know each other, and by the way we found a few things we weren't in compliance with,'" she said. "As we've completed the first one, the rest of the community is saying they need to be a part of that too."
