ISS: $42B Taxpayer Rip-Off
It really is a shame, but the International Space Station has become the biggest government rip-off since it was exposed that the Interior Department is spending over a $1,000,000 each to build out-houses in our national parks. So far, NASA has wasted over $42 Billion, not counting $500,000,000 each time to launch a space shuttle and inflation.
Atomic Missle defense is the only thing that compares to such waste and fraud.
The ISS has nothing to show for the all the money and years that has been spent. The only result is a jobs program for PHDs and cool videos of guys floating around for loyal fans of StarTrek.
If the government spent this tax payer money on something more worth while, maybe now a cure for AIDS, or our dependency on foreign oil would be fixed.
All this hype about discovering alien life is a child's fantasy. Even if we did find it, we can never go there because it would take to long. Faster than light speed for humans is fantasy, it will never happen.
If alien life could come here, they would just kill, make pets of us, or enslave us humans because we would be seen as an inferior life form.

WOW! $42 billion USD! That's enough to make even Bill Gates look twice
I think the exploration of space is something worth putting money into, as it could be a big part of our future.
But, as you say, we have more pressing issues here on little old planet earth to deal with first, and that $42 billion could have helped greatly.
Beam me up Scottie!

Re: ISS: $42B Taxpayer Rip-Off
Although I don't think is the foremost reason for putting the damn thing orbit, and yes it has its issues. But we do need to start somewhere and learn how to live in space - it is the future.

Boston's Big Dig, which all Americans are paying for, is costing over $14 Billion. This has been a textbook example of corruption, nepotism, low0ball estimates and a host of other shoddy business practices. This to me is far worse than the ISS. I think we have seen some good returns on the investment in the space program in material science, electronics, batteries and other technologies. The Big Dig enhanced capacity, however, will simply fill up with cars and Boston will have congestion issues once again.
For our non-American friends, the Big Dig is Boston's attempt to untangle itself from automotive congestion by building a tunnel for cars beneath the city. There are also several bridges involved also but the main item is the Central Artery tunnel.
Happy holidays all,

Yes, the ISS is a massive waste of money...

Just out of curiosity, has anybody learned what kind of knowledge we expect to gain from the ISS?
|Dec 9, 2002, 11:38 AM
There are plenty of experiments planned over the next several years. You can find out more about it at the Nasa website - it might take a bit of poking around, though.

Yeah, I forgot about that one. That is another jobs program for the mafia. Do we really need anymore roads in this country? Just think of all the problems when terrorists blows up a bomb in it. Traffic will be a nightmare in Boston for another 15 years.
Better mass transit, cleaner busses, and low-emission cars should be researched.

You're right, Peter. The ISS IS a waste of money. NASA knew that when they put it up. But we shouldn't abandon space exploration just because we haven't met any aliens yet.
I read an article once (sorry I don't remember where) saying that if anything, to be productive the ISS needed more money rather than less. And when you think about it, how much experimenting can you do with two astronauts and one scientist onboard a tiny station? More crew and facilities would be needed to make this thing work for us.
Personally, I think we shoulda spent that $42B going to Mars. A small permanent self-sustaining community would have been much cheaper in the long run, but just try and convince congress to spend $42B up front and see what you get. (A space station that does nothing, at a cost of several billion dollars a year in perpetuity)
Has anyone read the Mars triology by Kim Stanley Robinson? It's an excellent series about the colonization of Mars and the resulting culture that emerges. It almost makes you think that humans as a species have a chance for survival. If I was in charge that would be my road map.
|Dec 9, 2002, 04:46 PM
I'm sure none of the ISS price tag includes any funding for government programs (by all participants) that the governments don't want us to know about.
|Dec 9, 2002, 04:47 PM
Yeah 500,000,000 is alot for a sigle trip to outer space, that is why NASA has had Boeing do alot of testing on a space craft that can take of form a runway and be completly resuable....
alot of good has come form the space industry including the computer screen you are looking at. as well as most of the tecnology you enjoy every day of your life
off the topic maby we wouldn't have to search for a cure for AIDS if humans didn't have sex with monkeys
|Dec 9, 2002, 06:13 PM
The biggest problem is that scientists are controlling this ISS project, and they only want scientists up there.
A better idea would have been to build a space hotel and tourist attraction and charge $100,000-$1,000,000 to spend a week there. Research can be better done on the ground. 5 guys doing 360's in their jammies can only do so much real research.
|Dec 9, 2002, 09:32 PM
Commercialization will happen, but it'll take time. NASA may be messing their budgets and everything, but at least they are advancing human spaceflight. Wasn't Columbus critisized for his "frivolous" attempt to reach the Orient? If he didn't make this journey because of a bunch of penny pinching critics, America may not even exist. (of course, thousands of native american's wouldn't have been massacred by the portugese, spanish, french, english, etc. but that's another story)

Have any of you been following the X Prize? Commercialization of space is just around the corner. Getting a hotel in space might take a while though. Again, once a simple and inexpensive, single stage to orbit vehicle capable of transporting a good sized cargo is available - space travel will come to the masses. And there will be no turning back.
"Klaatu varada nikto!"
|Dec 10, 2002, 12:40 AM
Frankly, I'm surprised commercialization hasn't happened more quickly. I'm sure there's millions to be made somewhere. Nasa certainly isn't helping their own cause by shutting out any plans for commercial tourism. Letting more tourists on the space station just builds more excitement. "Someday I'LL get to go into space!" Guess it drives up the insurance rates too high. Oh well, maybe our great grandchildren...

I agree with you the ISS has been a huge waste of $ but in this day and age do you expect the politicians we have eleced to use money like that to help their citizens? of course not! we might be facing a war putting this country further into debt! americans are supposed to be the baddest doggs on the planet, yet we still have common diseases, poverty, hunger, massive amounts of immigrants who suck welfare and healthcare from born residents who need it and they refuse to learn english. try going to downtown miami and finding someone speaking english its virtually impossible. That is a huge problem in my eyes, we cant support the people we have in this country, we should quit taking in more people! Immigration doors need to be closed for the next 10 years and the US budget focused on bringin itself up to spec, we also need to eliminate dependency on foreign oil, and find oil alternatives and quit poluttin! but this aint going to happen until the last second when the world is about to implode with disease, famine, poverty, etc. if at all! Now in my personal opinion we need to quit aid to other countries, quit taking immigrants and cure america's ails. George Washington is just waiting for the current crop of politicians to come to heaven and start kicking the crap out of them one by one screaming how dare you defile what we created! Either the world is going to implode or the only way to save it will be a massive electromagnetic pulse from the heavens eliminating all technology and making people start from scratch so we really appreciate everything we get! or let us who think humanity can survive go colonize another planet and prove it, because corporate america is taking us to hell with them!

Re: ISS: $42B Taxpayer Rip-Off
Let's give up this "Star Trek" image we have of space exploration and face the fact that it's too expensive to adapt systems for human habitation.
NASA should be focusing on inexpensive rockets to lauch satellites and probes like Voyager!
I'm all for space exploration - as long as it's unmanned. Putting humans in space is just a testament to man's ego.
Don't think for one moment that just because of NASA's loft goals they aren't concerned about lining their pockets.
Of course NASA does use G4's ...and we pay for them.
|Dec 10, 2002, 02:26 PM
Whatever happened to the inspiring atmosphere of the 60's? Everyone was energized about the thought of going to the moon and the space industry that it was like the national hobby or something. There were numerous predictions that we'd be living on mars by the 1990s but look at us: we're still lazily flying around in low earth orbit doing practically nothing except for a little research.
This is absurd.
Space IS the final frontier and the only way we'll ever take advantage of it is if we spent the money to develop the technology to do it.

Hi,I'd like some advice on the size of pendant light for my dining room table. I'm looking at either the medium (diameter of 19", height 15.5) or large size (diameter 26.75", height 23") Nelson Bubble Ball (http://www.gabrielross.com/lighting-20/bubble-lamps-206/modernica-bubble-lamp-suspension-ball-677.html). We have a surfboard style table about 37" in width. It's a saltbox style home so the ceiling slopes from two stories to one over the table. It would be hung at about 1.5 stories. I love the look of a large ball pendant, but I don't want to overdue it. I have no local retailers to see one in person. Any suggestions?thanks in advance.

Three Partners to Build Major Bioethanol Plant in Germany
27 February 2007
EPURON, a subsidiary of Conergy AG, AGRAVIS Raiffeisen AG and MAN Ferrostaal are jointly constructing one of the largest bioethanol plants in Germany with a planned annual capacity of 200,000 m³ (52.8 million gallons US).
A Biofuel Quota Law, which came into effect on 1 January 2007 in Germany, obliges the petroleum industry to add bioethanol to gasoline. The capacity of the new plant could cover roughly a quarter of the ethanol additive quantity required in Germany in 2008.
The three companies have finalized a cooperation contract and have scheduled construction of the &euro130; million (US$172 million) plant in Buelstringen to begin this year, with production to come onstream in the first half of 2009.
The plant will use about 600,000 tonnes of wheat annually for feedstock. AGRAVIS is an agricultural trading company, and has a storage capacity of 550,000 tonnes of grain, from which it will supply the feedstock.

I wonder what this will do the price of a loaf of bread, in Germany?
Mark A -
Germans like to buy their bread fresh at bakeries. What isn't sold normally has to be thrown away the next day because the bread has gone stale - the quantities are quite enormous. I wonder if this waste stream could at least be used as a feedstock for ethanol.
You'd have to contend with salt and the fact that there is more than one kind of grain involved. I wonder what effect the yeast would have.
Don't they feed the leftover bread to pigs?
Mark A,
Are you refering to wheat based ethanol?
Rafael Seidl,
I see a business opportunity for environmentally friendly, cheap packaging to keep bread fresh. Either that or bread crumb exports.
How about some good old fashioned American preservatives? I have a quarter loaf of bread lying around that's well over a week old and still soft, moist and mold-free. I should probably finish it or throw it away tomorrow, but I'm always impressed (and a little scared) with the crazy things we've done to our food. It beats waste, perhaps.

Would you consider buying out already functioning equipment from other manufacturers?
For example, Kodak is the only current 220 maker, and their company is falling apart. If they collapse, would you consider buying their 220 machine if the cost were right? I think that the main issue with 220 is that our perception is that if it's double the amount of film, there should be a savings on our end, so a film that costs $5 should cost $9 in 220 as we are buying more. If that's possible as a price point, I think the number of 220 sold could increase and since you would be the only manufacturer, I think you could see a purchase of higher than 5%.
IR films should cost no more than double what regular films cost, I only really buy MF films so I'm not super familiar with 35mm prices but your 120 costs roughly $5 at B&H so I would pay $10 maybe $12 for IR but not $16
Third, why not use shell companies for the riskier divisions, like create Ilford220 the company, and then have that contract the normal Ilford for the film production that way if the 220 project fails, it doesn't harm the main company.
Fourth is the above suggestion about creating a dedicated page on your website for requested production runs doable? I really think if you added a few things like PanF+ in 4x5 sheet and 70mm, you would have a better idea of what needs were out there. You could even have a "secondary" option, like "If we don't meet our goal of X requests, what second film would you like to see as 70mm? so maybe having FP4+ in 70mm is more appealing overall than PanF+ but at least if it were fresh 70mm people would want it. That sort of thing...

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Dan LaCouture Trying To Find A Home In Russia
by Paul on 12/18/08 at 02:02 PM ET
Comments (0)
via TSN,
Sources tell TSN another NHL player may be about to jump to the KHL.
Carolina Hurricanes forward Dan LaCouture is believed to have left the team for Russia, however, the Hurricanes remain unclear as to which Kontinental Hockey League team LaCouture is attempting to join.
The Hurricanes intend on suspending LaCouture, who was signed as a free agent in October, if he doesn't have an immediate change of heart.
If LaCouture walks away from his contract with the Hurricanes this will fuel the ongoing feud between the KHL and the National Hockey League as, once again, the Kontinental Hockey League would have apparently abandoned its policy of respecting NHL contracts.

This total-conversion mod takes the Battle for Middle-earth II to the Fifth Century BCE, replacing the original content with two new, fully-fledged factions: Sparta and Athens. Completely new content, strategies and more awaits you. This project is brought to you by Kwen, Matias, Lauri, njm1983, Glaeken and Mike who are hosted at the3rdage.net, a division of revora.net.
This image-filled update sheds light on multiple infantry units available to our Spartan faction.
Posted by M!ke on Jan 24th, 2011
Welcome, and thanks for checking us out again here at...
This time around, we're going to be revealing the details of our principle infantry units for the Spartan faction. The first one to be shown is one that you've probably glimpsed around, either in our forums or on our Moddb profile. The unit in question is the Hopilitai ekdromoi.
The next unit to be covered... actually, that would read better as, "reviewed", is the Hoplites. Since their appearance in our first update, they've undergone a few changes. While at first they may have been shown off as an elite infantry unit, now it is clear that that is not the case. As in history, Hoplites will be the most capable soldiers on the field, but also the most mundane. They'll still have great defensive and offensive values, as well as a plethora of abilities, but their weaknesses will be easier to exploit and without other unit types, they alone will not win you battles. Despite that, they have two new abilities that will help them be a bit more self-sufficient: the Spear Throw and Paen. Unlocked through the Spartan Spellbook, the Spear Throw will be a powerful distance-attack used to soften up an enemy before closing with them in melee combat. Also unlocked through the Spellbook, the Paen is a war-chant used by the Hoplites to maintain order in their ranks and cause fear in the hearts of their enemies. As before, the Hoplites will have the Sarouter, Xiphos and Linothorax upgrades available to them, and the Hoplite Run, Paen and Phalanx/Open formation abilities.
A Lochagos inspects the arms and armour of a Hoplite phalanx before they head to war, his kopis drawn.
You may have spotted this unit in our media as well - the Lochagos, or Spartan Captain. Lochagos were men educated further in tactics and strategy at the Agoge, usually related to the noble families, and were expected to lead the phalanxes into battle from the front ranks. In TPW, the Lochagos serves as a mobile rally point, inspiring nearby troops to greater deeds and tenacity. With the purchase of a certain Power from the Spartan Spellbook, the Lochagos will be able to command a group of Hoplites to bring their shields together and create a wall made nigh-impenetrable to missile attacks, distracting enemy Peltasts and archers until he or another enterprising commander can attack their foes themselves. Additionally, the presence of a Lochagos can nullify the ill effects of an enemy Paen towards those nearest him. Due to the quantity and quality of training a Lochagos, they will not be available until an Agoge has reached Rank Three.
A double-phalanx of Hoplites cover a group of Helot Peltasts, who are busy themselves peppering their enemies with javelins.
Of course that brings us to the next unit in our lineup, the Peltastati, or Peltast for short. In Sparta the Peltasts are distance-fighters, usually conscripted Helots or low-class non-Spartan men, used to skirmish with the enemy and scout ahead of the army alongside the Ekdromoi. The first Peltasts to be fielded in Greece were Athenian-paid mercenaries from Thrace, who fought wearing no armour but their clothes and a flimsy, crescent-shaped pelte shield. The Greeks copied their traditions and made them their own, seeing how well that light infantry could serve in the Greco-Persian Wars of the early Fifth Century. Following a little experimentation, they were introduced by Athens' military to great effect in both of the Peloponnesian Wars - at one point a group of Athenian and paid Thracian peltasts utterly destroyed an entire phalanx of Spartan Hoplites!
In TPW, the Spartan Peltasts will only have their javelins and shields upon recruitment, but can upgrade to get higher-quality armour and a kopis sword to use in dire straits. They can also upgrade their javelins with amentum, throwing strap than increased every aspect of their effectiveness threefold. Being the only ranged unit available to Sparta, they are recruit-able at a Rank One Agoge, and make for good scouts. But there are better alternatives, as you can see below...And here's a sneak peek before we close!

Barry Corr fired into the roof of the net with 20 minutes remaining while Britt Assombalonga won and converted a late penalty for the Shrimpers to seal a first victory in six games for former Hull manager Phil Brown.
Aldershot, who are four points adrift of safety with just two games remaining, saw Peter Vincenti and Michael Rankine go close in the opening half hour.
Southend goalkeeper Dan Bentley was then tested eight minutes before the break by Paul McCallum's looping header, but the hosts faded after the break.
Assombalonga broke forward and hit the post with a weak effort before Corr snatched the opening goal after 70 minutes following a goalmouth scramble.
Eight minutes later, Assombalonga grabbed his 16th of the season after tripping under the challenge of Troy Brown inside the box.
Asa Hall dragged a left-foot shot wide for the Shots late on but Southend held firm for their first win in eight matches.

Progressive rear spring on 640 Adv???

One thing Zdog/Rob doesn't say here is that if you can rebuild your carburetor, you can alter the valving in your fork. It just isn't that hard or that complicated. If you ever changed fork seals you are experienced, if you haven't now is the time to learn.
Rob has published a midvalve shim stack(in other threads) that really works.
Shims and WP fork oil are available from MX Tech, they are friendly and the service is superb.
I will caution you to ask them fr the correct shims, it is easy to get confused.
You need a CHEAP micrometer (I bought one at Sears for $10) and the usual hand tools.
WP forks are really fun to work on, they are simple. The work is clean and you can do it in the living room but if you spill fork oil on a light carpet...you will replace it.
Mine was shot anyway.
The rear shock is a different story and needs to go to the pro for a revalve and nitrogen.
Rob set mine up with a regular tire type air valve so I could rebuild it and air it up in the third world but it was never necessary(the air we breathe is 70% nitrogen).
The WP system is the best there is for toughness, you just have to massage it a little for peak performance.
The fork is worth the hassle. After it s done you forget about it.
BTW I talked to the WP factory engineers t the KTM festival in Budapest this fall.
They are good guys but they don't know anything about the Adventure and made the same wrong spring recommendation to me.
The spring issue is a frikkin mess.
KTM knows the answers but the information is locked up in their racing department and so far they refuse to talk with anyone about it.
How the pivot suspension works is also not understood by most of their factory engineers, it is not understood by any of the dealers I have run in to.
God knows how KTM raced the Dakar with 30-40 Kilos of extra fuel.
I tried at the Festival and I could not get it out of anybody or find anyone who knows the specifics.
This is really frustrating because they won, they know.
Somewhere there is a block in releasing the information.
This just doesn't make any sense since the new PD racer is so different.
But damned if I know what shock the 690 PD bike is using.
Or for that matter the 690 Supermoto.
Since it's in this country we will be able to get a look at the shock and spring and the pivot if it has one.
If anyone is near a dealer would you take a picture of the rear suspension on the Supermoto and post it.
I am going to start another thread asking for any information on and pictures of the new suspension.

I'd like to say that a person learns a thing or two in 28 years of covering the Academy Awards. I'd like to say that, but I can't.
In fact, each Oscars telecast is a brand new learning experience, and there is no better learning experience than backstage at the Oscars.
And here's the first thing I learned about backstage at the Oscars. It's not backstage at the Oscars.
You think I'm joking, but the truth is that Oscars officials don't want the media anywhere near the pretty people, so the "backstage" press area is in the hotel next door to the Kodak Theatre.
Still, security next door to the Oscars is so tight that one might think that the President of the United States was here covering the Oscars for a weekly newspaper in Brea. I had to make it through three security checkpoints before arriving at the media area.
I am seated at a long table between reporters from the People's Daily in the People's Republic of China and a Mexican news agency called Notimex. I am sitting across from a writer from a Toronto daily newspaper, and a reporter from Portugal. This is truly an international event.
Before the show started, there was some excitement backstage, when a squad of plainclothes police officers descended on the seat next to mine (where the journalist from Mexico was sitting) and removed him from the area, laptop and all.
It turns out that the veteran Mexican reporter, who said he has covered the event for years, had passed through all the checkpoints, but when he left the area briefly and tried to return, his badge was not approved by the machine at the checkpoint. Even though the Canadian reporter across from me vouched for the Mexican reporter, the latter was ushered quickly and quietly out of the room. A high-ranking academy official was brought in, but she wasn't able to dissuade the officers from following protocol.
So, I learned something – make sure your security badge is in order.
Here's another thing I learned: the food backstage at the Oscars is light years better than backstage at the Emmys and Grammys. To be fair, my high school cafeteria had better food than the Grammys.
But we are being fed quite well here at the Oscars (big shrimp), which more than makes up for the police raids.
The first winner just came backstage, and I learned that "Alice in Wonderland" art director Robert Stromberg (a two-time Oscar winner) put a little Mad Hatter's cap on top of his Oscar as he was accepting his award. I could tell what it was on TV, but the little hat was obvious backstage. I learned that he did it to "put a nice punctuation" on the moment. He's an art director; what do you expect?

How the GOP Sees It
Kosova, Weston, Connolly, Katie, Hirsh, Michael, Newsweek
Byline: Katie Connolly, Michael Hirsh, and Weston Kosova
What Republicans would do if given carte blanche to run the country.
"We've offered to work with the president all year. We've been shut out, shut out, and shut out." --House GOP leader John Boehner
Such is the lament of the party out of power in Washington. Republicans on Capitol Hill say they have many good ideas and want to join with President Obama and the Democrats to alleviate the country's problems. They want to collaborate on a health-care bill, a jobs bill, a clean-energy bill. But they can't, because the Democrats--intent on pushing through a radical agenda that is out of touch with real Americans--won't listen to them. Republicans want to help the president succeed, but he won't let them.
This isn't true, of course--any more than it was true when the Democrats said the same thing as they dedicated themselves to thwarting George W. Bush. In zero-sum Washington, members of the opposition party have little incentive to help the president, especially if it means the credit for their actions could accrue to him and not them. If politics is the art of compromise, then politics as practiced in the capital is the art of preventing compromise at all costs. This is why, infuriatingly, our elected officials spend so much time plotting ways to stick it to the other side with "filibuster-proof super-majorities" and "nuclear options," while the unemployment rate hovers in the double digits and 46 million Americans go without health insurance. It is why not a single GOP senator voted for the health-care bill now stalled in Congress, and why Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell turned against a GOP-inspired plan for a deficit commission once Obama endorsed the idea.
A handful of Republicans--Sen. Olympia Snowe on health care, Sen. Bob Corker on financial reform--have tried on their own to break from this tit-for-tat and deal with Democrats. They see what most politicians know but don't talk about: that on many issues, the differences between the two sides are not nearly so great as the party bosses would have us believe. Too often it is politics, not policy, that stymies progress. Certainly Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, scornful of Republican ideas and motives, have not gone out of their way to solicit Republican views. And the GOP leadership has made known its displeasure at moderates' overtures to the other side. Some of Snowe's colleagues treated her like an apostate. Corker has been frustrated in his efforts. "We've probably had the most selfish generation in Congress -- in modern times," says Corker. "It's beyond belief to me that the deficit commission did not pass."
There is a luxury to being the party of "no." As Obama himself has now discovered, it is much easier (and, to some, more viscerally satisfying) to stop something in Washington than to start it. But what if the Republicans had their way? What if Obama and the Democrats simply stepped aside and allowed the GOP to take charge of fixing the nation's troubles? What would they do--and how different would it be, really, from the Democratic proposals Republicans say are so extreme that compromise is all but impossible? A guide to what the GOP wants:
For Republican leaders, there is one way to create new jobs that trumps all others: tax cuts. Leave more money in the hands of business owners, Republicans say, and they will use it to place orders--stimulating job growth--or hire new workers themselves. "We're not going to look to Washington to create the jobs," says GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy, summing up the Republican liturgy. Most in the party (like most Americans, according to polls) want nothing to do with another expensive stimulus that would smack of expanded government. Yet the GOP has also rejected Democratic bills that tried to lure Republicans by including significant tax cuts. Earlier this year Republican Sen. Charles Grassley reached an agreement with Democratic Sen. …

I know this is weird, but sometimes they put children's fiction which is for teaching a skill in the non-fiction section, such as a book for learning the alphabet or counting skills. Maybe even a fiction book about going back in time when the purpose is to teach about dinosaurs, or flying into space to learn about astronomy.
I can guarantee biblical stories are in the non-fiction, but that is another topic.

Mind you, this is all with the Dewey system. It is easier to use for small to medium libraries usually than the Library of Congress system, and (to me) is better at clumping like items together. The LC system is one giant system that has room for fiction and non-fiction by using a combination of letters and numbers.

Now that's a mouthful!!! & follow it!
I recall a story from college about a librarian at our university who absolutely hated Virginia Woolf's Orlando because it's made to seem like a biography. Apparently at some point in her education, she'd had a question about it, had identified the book as nonfiction, and been embarrassed by the mistake. That isn't particularly germane to the topic of intentional shelving, but it runs along the same lines, I suppose.
I've lived in 2 larger cities that use the LC system as did the university where I did my graduate work. I'm not as familiar with Dewey, though I know that many people find it easier. I'm not sure I do, to be honest.

Clearing U.S. pharmaceutical trademarks for use and registration is more complicated and unpredictable than clearing marks in other industries. Unlike trademarks in other fields, pharmaceutical marks must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Until recently, the FDA's safety and promotional review of a proposed drug name has been conducted with little official guidance using vague statutory and regulatory standards. As a result, drug companies regularly spend thousands of dollars developing and clearing drug names, only to see roughly a third of them rejected by the FDA. The rejection of a name can be particularly problematic if the drug company has already launched the product outside the United States under the rejected name.

Author has written 4 stories for Harry Potter.
What's there to know about me? Apart from the whole being-a-Harry-Potter-obsessive thing ...
Well, I'm a girl. I like bright colours and silly earrings. I think dolly mixtures are goddesses in the sweet world, and chocolate is possibly man's greatest invention. I like old songs and crazy gadgets, and easy-peeling satsumas; I have been called half-monkey, and the darling MirandaTook calls me "ballistic" :) I can wobble my eyeballs and pick things up with my toes; I love the tales of King Arthur and Robin Hood -- I like etymology and languages, and keyboard shortcuts: and am randomly abusing punctuation right now - I like exploring, climbing trees and hills, drinking cranberry juice and soya milk (not together), and getting soaking wet ...
I'm not (usually) loud, but I'm lively and fun-loving in a weird childish way. I have these bouncy crazy moods when I climb around on kids' playgrounds and get random urges to do handstands and roly-polys. I'm pretty energetic and competitive. And I possess one smile dimple, in my left cheek. The other one ran away when I was born.
Finally, I'm studying English Literature at a UK university which I love. I've been having such a good time here that I've slipped out of the habit of writing fan fiction. I've been focusing more on original works, as my greatest and oldest dream is to be a published writer. However, though I may not write fan fiction any more, I am still ecstatic whenever I find a review in my inbox. I bounce happily whenever this happens. If you read my stuff, I'd LOVE to know what you think! So please do drop me a review. You might just get one back :)

Until I played it. I like the random fireballs that fly around and are hard/annoying to block/dodge. /s
I made it to the first dungeon and just stopped. How did this game get picked?!
I hope they don't blow it with the GBA games.
If you are old enough to have been gaming when this came out, then you would know you are not alone. This game was absolutely HATED when it came out. All the magazines like Gamepro and EGM just murdered it. Hell I even remember Nintendo Power hating this game.
It was a huge mistake for them to try this with Zelda, so they fixed it with ALTTP.

Typical smug response.
There is a difference between a difficult, but fair game, and a game with awful design.
Ninja Gaiden on the xbox is notorious for being brutally difficult, UNTIL you learn how to play properly. The game is never cheap or annoying.
Now compare that to this awful game that pretty much most people in the world hate. Totally different.
Zelda II was awesome. It still IS awesome. Even if they completely departed from the entire feel of the top-down 2D Zelda titles, it was only the third Zelda title to ever be released.
I am grateful to have grown up in the 8-bit era. It makes me appreciate the actual fun factor of games a lot more. Not only was Zelda II 'Nintendo Hard', it was an incredibly expansive and large game for its time, and I'd rather play it than any of the crappy FPS games on XboX 360, or all the shovelware on the DS or Wii.
If there aren't FMV's, Achievements, online play and DLC, kids just don't care about it. That's tragic.
Remember, kids. It's the internet. You have no rights.

You do realize that any game you learn how to play becomes easy right? Including this one, you seemed to not even given the game a chance and learn how to play before going oh crap it is awful cause I suck so much ass at it.
"You're in America now, Our idea of diplomacy is showing up with a gun in one hand and a sandwich in the other and asking which you'd prefer."
I've actually started playing through Zelda II about 5 days ago before I knew it was going to be an Ambassador game. I've picked up and played the game on the Collector's Edition a few times before, but I've never gotten past the 1st Palace.
It's hard at first, but get used to the controls, get skilled at jumping, and grab the power-ups around the field and town, it'll make it much easier. In fact, I'm having fun with the game right now, but I still think that the spazzy movements of some enemies is completely unfair.
This is the internet, all opinions are considered invalid.
gamers hate anything that is different. Zelda 2 is a great game but it is a hard mother f***er. Actually was one of the first games i ever played when I was a little kid so I love it even though it beats me.

In each of these technology areas, specific research targets have been established, although some targets and program emphases are undergoing revision. Program oversight is provided by an Executive Steering Group (ESG), which is not a federal advisory committee. It consists of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and a vice-presidential-level executive from each of the Partnership companies. The DOE EERE efforts are divided between the Vehicle Technologies Program (VTP) and the Fuel Cell Technologies Program (FCTP). The Partnership collaborates with other DOE offices outside of EERE, as appropriate, and with the U.S. Department of Transportation on safety-related activities.
The U.S. DRIVE partners include four automotive companies, five energy companies, two electric power companies, and the Electric Power Research Institute, with the DOE providing the federal leadership. During the past year, several associate-member companies have also been added. The Partnership does not itself conduct or fund R&D, but each partner makes its own decisions regarding the funding and management of its projects.
Even though the technologies involved are not all under the U.S. DRIVE umbrella, the potential primary pathways to the long-term goals of significantly reduced petroleum consumption as well as reduced criteria emissions and reduced greenhouse gases (GHGs) for LDVs are as follows:
The committee notes that none of these pathways is without issues and none is devoid of promise.
The development of biomass feedstocks and of the technologies for conversion to transportation fuels is outside the responsibility of U.S. DRIVE. Similarly, the impact on GHG emissions of a broad deployment of PHEVs and BEVs will depend on the deployment of a variety of low-criteria-pollutant and low-GHG-emissions electricity generation technologies, another area that is outside the purview of U.S. DRIVE. However, the transition to hydrogen fuel with low life-cycle GHGs is within the scope of U.S. DRIVE.

The Leitchfield Tourism Commission has revised its grant policy effective the 2014-2015 fiscal year.
Leitchfield Tourism Director Ilsa Johnson said during the regularly scheduled Tuesday, Jan. 28 Tourism Commission meeting that all requests for grants to help fund local events are now to be submitted between February and April 30 of each year.
The grant requests will be reviewed by a scoring rubic system of up to 80 possible points and discussed during the May Tourism Commission meeting, Johnson said.
According to the official guidelines, grant requests should include a clear description of the event with time frames, cost estimates, number of participants, distribution strategies, manpower estimates, and bidding procedures.
In addition, all event costs, marketing strategies, and economic impact the event will have on the community should be clearly stated in the grant request, the guidelines state.
The guidelines also specify that in order to be eligible for grant funding, an event must take place in Leitchfield and all grant requests must be received during the February to April submission period.
For more information, contact Johnson by phone at the Centre on Main in Leitchfield at 270-259-5587.

*Tim Murphy, of Murphy + Graves Architects, and Lea King, of the Alliance Corporation of Builders and Managers, updated the Tourism Commission on the construction of Leitchfield Aquatic Center.
Murphy said the building is taking form, and its block walls and roof form are up.
In addition, plastic has been placed in the windows, so workers can install electricity in the facility, and brick will be placed when the weather warms up, Murphy said.
Also, the lap pool has been formed, and the bottom of the lazy river has been poured and its walls formed, said Murphy.
King added that Leitchfield Aquatic Center is currently on schedule, and of the $116,025.57 change order - approved by the Tourism Commission in October, 2013 to cover additional project costs - only $11,833 had been approved.
*Johnson reported that the Leitchfield episode of Today in America with Terry Bradshaw will air on Discovery Channel throughout the day starting at 7 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 6 and ending at 5 a.m. the following morning.
*Johnson also reported that the 2014 Freedom and Fiddlin' festival is currently scheduled for the third Saturday in July (July 19).
Johnson said Tourism has discussed having the fireworks display on the Friday before the festival (July 18) at its original location, Grayson County Middle School.
*The Tourism Commission approved the 2012-2013 audit report as presented by Jeff Carter, CPA, of Taylor, Polson & Company, PSC.
Carter said no difficulties, disagreements, or misstatements were found while his firm conducted the audit.
According to Carter, the Tourism Commission had budgeted revenue earnings of $5 million and actually earned $5.1 million; expenditures of $723,000 and actually spent $822,000; and a $4.3 million increase with an actual increase of $4.3 million.
"Your budget was right on," Carter said.

purchased this item totally on a whim - I have never used any neutrogena products, ever in my life.
I love the light scent and the fact that it doesn't dry my skin out at all. In fact, it makes my skin feel really smooth and clean. I have only just started using this and I am in love with it

I used this when I was younger (late High School to early university years), & found that it didn't do much to help my then-very oily, breakout-prone skin. I did like that it felt refreshing on the skin & it took off facial wash residue post-cleansing. Other than that, this is better-suited for those with normal complexions.

- it does its job and removes all remaining dirt off my face
- makes my face feel super clean
- its not the most hydrating toner, so for super dry skin it won't hurt, but it might not help either.

This toner is just water in a bottle. I didnt do anything to my face at all. But I have to say that I have very sensitive eyes and it didnt irritate them either. Not good, not bad, just plain water.

This is seriously one of the best toners I have come across. I use it only at night just to make sure I get all of my makeup off and let me tell you that it removes any left over makeup without drying out my skin. My skin does not feel tight nor does the toner smell like alchol like most toners do. My face feels soft and clean. I would totally recommend getting this toner cause it'll be one of the best toners you'll ever buy.

I have super dry skin and I was looking for an alcohol free toner. I always believe in Neutrogena products, the makeup, the skincare products. I love the Healthy skin foundation as I have acne prone skin. This toner was recommended to me by a friend. I use this with a cotton ball after I wash off my make up. You can actually see how effective it is. It will get rid of all the make up residue, dirt, etc. The fragrance is so beautiful. It is affordable and moisturizing. I have never used a toner that actually moisturized my skin. It works so much better with Neutrogena oil free moisturizer for sensitive skin. This two are my HG skin care products. I cannot imagine my life without it.
1) Affordable
2) Beautiful fragrance.
3) Gets rid of makeup residue, dirt, etc.
4) Moisturizing.
5) Best choice for people with dry skin as it does not contain alcohol.
6) The packaging is pretty neat.
7) Dries out pimples.
1) Not the best choice for people with oily skin
2) Smell can be irritating.
3) It will dry out pimples but it will not get rid of them.

This just doesn't DO anything... If you have acne-prone skin, you definitely need something stronger. If you have clear, nice skin, use natural Witch Hazel which is better for you than this and doesnt contain alcohol. I just dont see the point of this toner, it feels like water..

I purchased this today along with two other Neutrogena products. I am always nervous trying new products because I have pretty sensitive skin and I am always fearing a breakout or irritation. This caused nothing like that! Overall, I am satisfied so far (I have only used it once) so fingers crossed!

Another fun Florida weekend
Posted by
Staff Writer
Wednesday, February 8. 2012
Comments (0)
Jacksonville Florida is approximately an hour from our house. St. Augustine is another thirty to forty-five minutes and Daytona Beach around three hours. The driving time to these locations is dependent on traffic and Big Red's or Little Blue's temperament. B. J. and I frequently skedaddle down to the Sunshine State for an outing.
This past weekend was another such jaunt. Big Red, feeling his oats, was feisty and ready to hit the trail. I reined him across the Torras Causeway, up the ramp and headed him south on I-95. Our goal: a weekend in River City. Big Red reared back, kicked up his heels, sprinted along and for a few minutes, he was King of the Road. B. J. fixed her "watch it preacher" look on me and I knew I had better bridle Big Red down.
Crossing the St. Mary's River into Florida, we exited into the welcome center for a pit stop. While there, we connected "Blondie" our GPS navigation "girl" and programmed her for one of Florida's finest restaurants, the River City Restaurant right smack dab on the St. John's River in scenic downtown Jacksonville. We would lunch there. This would not be our first trip to the River City Restaurant but it would be our first daytime visit. We had seen the dazzling array of lights on the St. John's at night but we wanted to see the place in the daytime.
Blondie never missed a turn. She took us through a picturesque section of town and into the pretty parking lot a few steps from the restaurant entrance. We could hardly wait.
Jacksonville's premier riverfront restaurant located on the Southbank of downtown Jacksonville features a casually elegant 325 seat main dining room overlooking the beautiful St. John's River and the skyline of downtown Jacksonville. The menu offers dishes created with global flavor and culinary expertise including fresh seafood, tender steaks creative pasta dishes and daily Chef's creations.
The lounge attached to the main dining room features live weekend entertainment, both inside and on the outdoor deck.
We were greeted in fine courteous fashion by a superbly attired host. Our host asked us if we preferred to dine on the deck or inside. At first, we said the deck but when she escorted us out there it was a bit too cool so we opted for a cozy inside table with a great view as close to the water as we could get.
The charming, elegant interior of River City soon caught us up in its spell and whetted our appetites. Dressed in striking black apparel, our polite waiter provided us with menus and graciously recited the day'$ special$.
Just reading the menu was an appetite stimulus. For starters, the Bahamian Lobster and Conch Fritters caught our eyes. We had first eaten conch fritters in Key West and then again on the outdoor deck of a fine eatery in Nassau Harbor in the Bahamas. We believed that they would be good at River City. They were made from Lobster, Bahamian conch, sweet onion, red pepper, garlic and an island spice, and served with a key-lime honey mustard sauce in a fancy dish.
Shortly, our conch appetizers were on the table. We bit into them and boy howdy were they ever delicious! They kicked our taste buds into overdrive.
With all that savory food listed on the menu, making a choice for the entrée was a head-scratching experience. Finally, we settled on the Mayport Fried Shrimp. The Mayport Fried Shrimp are jumbo flash-fried local shrimp served with sweet corn hush puppies, fries, southern style slaw, house-made Bloody Mary cocktail sauce and dill-shallot tartar sauce.
While we waited for our order, we munched happily on the tasty conch fritters, admired the view both inside and out and listened to the music.
The outside panorama was spell-binding. Gleaming yachts surrounded us. Across the St. John's River was Jacksonville Landing encircled by lustrous high rise buildings; it was an astounding spectacle (our next trip to Jacksonville will be a spend-the-day or weekend at Jacksonville Landing). In this amazing setting, B. J. and I would dine sumptuously today.
After savoring the bountiful and delicious Mayport Fried Shrimp platter, we went into an outside photo-taking tour of the place; to say that it is beautiful is an understatement.
We shall return. Count on it.
Next week: An overnight on Jacksonville Beach.

The boat tragedy at Thekkady points to failure to follow basic safety norms while carrying tourists through a deep reservoir.
Though Commissions had enquired into the Kumarakom and Thattekkad boat tragedies and submitted many recommendations to prevent accidents, most of them had not been acted upon.
Former Ports Director P. K. R. Nair told The Hindu here on Wednesday that possibility of a design defect in the boat that met with the accident could not be ruled out. The boat would have toppled because the centre of gravity of the boat was higher. The problem could have been accentuated by the passengers moving to one side on a boat with a second deck.
Captain Nair said that qualified personnel were lacking in the office of the inspector of boats to check the boats. As a result, survey and inspection were wanting. The personnel manning boats operating in the inland waters lacked proper training.
He said that wearing of safety jackets were a norm followed in other countries while travelling in boats. If the government had the will, this was a norm that could have been enforced easily. Now light jackets, convenient to the passengers, were available.
The Justice Narayana Kurup Commission, which enquired into the Kumarakom boat tragedy, had recommended appointment of a safety commissioner for inspection of boats. But the government did not act on it.
The government has also been sitting on proposal to establish system for prevention of disasters and their management. Hardly, any quick response system existed at Thekkady for disaster management, though it is a place visited by many tourists.
"The Ministers concerned should get competent persons to prepare disaster management plans and implement them," Mr. Nair said.

What is it?
One of the better known electric cars, largely through being one of the first to market. Not bad, but pricey.
We are fans of the i for its design and packaging. The electric one compromises nothing on the space, but is more fun to drive. It's nippy off the mark, as electric vehicles tend to be, and there's a simple one-speed transmission.
As the added battery weight is so low down, it's smoother-riding and more stable than the previous, petrol-powered 'i'.
Those slim batteries are supposed to give a range approaching 100 miles, implying a 50-mile commute and recharging at home. Hmmm. It ran out for us at 50 miles total, mainly because it was a cold day, which batteries don't like. So you'd have to trickle-charge at the office, or commute just 25 miles. Which is actually all most city-dwellers do. 0-62mph takes 13 seconds, too.
On the inside
This is a mixed bag for the Mitsubishi 'i'. It's got proper rear doors and a decent amount of space back there, but the boot is severely hampered by the presence of that engine.
Mitsubishi has stuck the 'i' together very nicely, as you'd expect. It's not exactly cheap after all. The plastics are good, the fit and finish top notch, and you can be confident that it's mechanically sound.
It costs £29k to start with, which is ruddy expensive.

There has been a lot of buzz around proposed SB 731, which is working its way through the State Legislature and will be heard Monday, May 20, in the Senate Appropriations Committee. Notwithstanding the hype and hopes, I think Jerry Brown probably had it right when he predicted last month that CEQA reform would not be accomplished in 2013. While the debate has been vigorous, the political stars are simply not aligned to do what needs to be done to modernize and streamline the venerable 43-year old law.
Why do I say this? The proof is in the text of SB 731 (Steinberg, Hill), as last amended on May 7, 2013. While it did not start out as comprehensive CEQA reform by any means, the bill currently falls short even of fully accomplishing its rather modest expressly-stated reform objectives. Further, it now includes problematic provisions that could add even more red tape, uncertainty and redundancy to the law – the opposite of "reform." A few examples follow:
While SB 731 does contain some potentially helpful new provisions that would direct OPR to develop regulations establishing standardized thresholds of significance for noise, transportation and parking impacts for certain projects in transit priority areas, and which would statutorily eliminate the need to analyze aesthetic impacts of such projects, these minimal benefits appear to be far outweighed by bill's many negative aspects and glaring omissions. Perhaps Governor Brown is right: from the looks of SB 731 so far, 2013 simply isn't CEQA reform's year.

About Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift was 16-years-old when her debut single "Tim McGraw" was released. Since then Swift has been selling records and setting records. She's already become one of the most successful artists of the decade.
Her self-titled debut album was released in 2006. The country-pop album not only went triple platinum, but it produced a record five consecutive top 10 hit singles on the Billboard country chart.
Swift's success was awarded with a Grammy nomination for best new artist, but she eventually lost to Amy Winehouse.
In the summer 2008, Swift released an EP called Beautiful Eyes, which could only be purchased at Wal-Mart.
The EP debuted at number one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. For the same week, her debut album was number two on the same chart. This made Swift the first artists to hold the top two positions on the Top Country Album Chart since her idol, LeAnn Rimes, did it in 1997.
Her sophomore effort, Fearless, was released in 2008. Highlighting her transition from a country-pop artist to a pop artist, her album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and eventually spent eight weeks at the top spot.
According to industry experts, Swift was the number one selling artist in America for 2008. She's also the first country artist to reach the two million mark in paid downloads for three songs.
A child prodigy, Swift's parents moved her to Nashville from her native Pennsylvania when she was 14-years-old. At 15, Swift turned down a deal with RCA Records because the company would not allow her to record her own songs.
Shortly after that, a record executive from burgeoning Big Machine Records saw her performed at the famous Bluebird Café and signed her to a deal.
When Swift was 11-years-old she sang the National Anthem at Philadelphia 76ers game. When she was 12-years-old she sang the National Anthem at the U.S. Open.
Swift's grandmother was a professional opera singer.

I toured thr Leo Adler House Museum with a group. What a beautiful job they've done of restoring it. And this man has a very interesting story. His life continues to positively impact the community he loved.
We took a tour with Steve Bogart and Garwood Allen, Who were very friendly and knowledgeable of not only the house but the city and its surroundings. The house is absolutely amazing and very well preserved. Mr. Adler was an impressive man. We love Baker and this house is a must see!!!
It was like stepping back in time a hundred years, not just an old house it has history. Goes great with the museum.
This restored and renovated Victorian home is a must see. The wall paper is amazing. The family history was so interesting. After touring the house go to the Baker Heritage Museum and watch a wonderful film about Leo Adler. You also can can a special priced ticket for the 2 locations. Plan to stop in Baker City, Or. again, they...
I highly recommend this tour to all Baker City, Oregon visitors. Mr. Adler's story is both odd and unique, and it sets the background for all that Leo Adler has done for this community. His house is also a great example of Baker City Victorian architecture at the time of NE Oregon's gold boom. The house is complete with gold-infused...
Think all old houses are the same...seen one, seen 'em all? This house is a GEM and our tour guide made the history come alive with her interesting stories about Leo and his family. Every town should be so lucky to have an Adler family in their town!
very very Beautiful! Very educational and we loved the history.!
I took a guided tour here which was really good. The guide explained things very well and demonstrated good knowledge of Mr. Adler and his family. Well worth stopping by!
We were not aware that this Museum was closed for the season and would not be open until Memorial Day weekend.
the ground floor has been very beautifully restored and appointed and the upstairs left more like it looked at the early part of the 20th century
