The next generation of bike share programs is taking shape in Birmingham, Alabama
Wednesday, April 22, 2015
Branden Klayko.
A biking first for the Western Hemisphere is about to hit the streets in Birmingham, Alabama. While the American south is better known for its legacy of car-first sprawl, Birmingham city leaders hope a new bike share program will get residents and visitors to pedal their way on two wheels for short trips in the city's core—and they're getting an "assist" from a new prototype in Canada.
Seattle's bike share program, Pronto, launches today!

Ariel Rosenstock.
In the last few years, urban bike sharing has popped up all across the United States: in cities like Boston, New York, Washington D.C., Miami, San Francisco, and Chicago among others. Finally Seattle is getting it's first bike sharing program, Pronto Cycle Share, today.
Biker's Tan: Citi Bike system opens in Miami next month
Thursday, October 9, 2014
Henry Melcher.
By now, you probably know about Citi Bike's woes in New York City: the damaged equipment, the broken seats, and—what else?—oh, right the money problems. But with a bailout reportedly imminent, and expansion likely next year, things are starting to looking up for the bike share system. And that's not all—the blue bikes aren't just expanding around New York, they're headed down to the palm tree-lined streets of Miami as well.
Philadelphia Expected to Launch Bikeshare System Next Spring
Friday, June 13, 2014
Henry Melcher.
With a recent vote in the Philadelphia City Council, bikeshare moves closer to becoming a reality in the City of Brotherly Love. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the council's Transportation and Public Utilities Committee advanced a bill to bring bikeshare to the city by next spring. The bill is expected to be approved by the full city council on June 19.
Drop Your Drawers For Cycling: Vision Zero Clothing Comes to Brooklyn
Thursday, June 12, 2014
Aaron Seward.
Friday the 13th just got a whole lot scarier. Tomorrow, on the tail of The World Naked Bike Ride in Portland, Oregon (NSFW Link), a similar clothing-optional bicycle boosting event is coming to Brooklyn. Topically dubbed Vision Zero Clothing (in what must be an honest homage to New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's Vision Zero plan, which proposes to stop people from getting run over by cars), the event is scheduled to get underway at 6:00 p.m. at Grand Ferry Park in Williamsburg (which, incidentally, is a favorite hangout of the Hasidic Jewish community).
Chicago's Divvy bike share program gets a corporate sponsor
Tuesday, June 3, 2014
The Editors.
Divvy, Chicago's bike share program, just sold the moving ad space of some 3,000 bicycles that have traveled 2.5 million miles since the system launched nine months ago. Illinois' largest health insurance company, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, paid $12.5 million to sponsor Divvy and brand its blue bikes and vans with their corporate logo beginning in June. The Chicago Tribune reported that the highest bidder was Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, which has also sponsored several other bikeshare systems in recent years, starting in Minneapolis. The health insurance company will pay $2.5 million each year through 2018—revenue the city will use to expand Divvy and fund bicycling projects throughout the city.

Henry Melcher.
While Citi Bike is publicly bleeding money and senior staff, the program continues to be extremely popular on the streets of New York. The blue bikes have woven themselves into the city's urban fabric like yellow cabs, or halal carts, or rats eating shwarma that fell off a halal cart. New data released by Citi Bike shows that the bikes aren't just being used by tourists pedaling from MoMA to the High Line—they are a viable transportation option for the city's commuters.
As New York's Bikeshare System's Challenges Mount, Citi Bike's General Manager Resigns
Thursday, March 27, 2014
Henry Melcher.
Citi Bike's week of bad news just got worse. After reports that the program was short tens of millions of dollars, and plagued with technical and maintenance problems, Citi Bike's general manager, Justin Ginsburgh, has resigned. He is pedaling off to advise a construction firm. It's not clear what's next for the struggling, but popular program. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has said the city will not bail out the program, but it may allow Citi Bike to raise membership fees.

Conservatives Find Bible Too Liberal
So they'll write a new one
Conservapedia, the right-wing version of Wikipedia, has launched a project to eliminate what it considers liberal bias in modern versions of the Bible. Part of the problem is translators who throw around words like "comrade" and "labor," according to Andrew Schlafly, the website's founder (and son of anti-feminist crusader Phyllis Schlafly), and part of the problem is, well, some teachings of the Bible. An improved version, according to Schlafly's guidelines, will not be "emasculated" or "dumbed down" as leading evangelical versions of the Scriptures apparently are, will "accept the logic of hell … as in not denying or downplaying the very real existence of Hell or the Devil," and, most amusingly, will "express free market parables"—which might be a stretch given that, as Stephen Colbert pointed out, "the meek shall inherit the earth" is most certainly a bunch of "liberal claptrap."
The irony of the whole project, it seems to us, is that Schlafly is far from the first to politically reframe the Bible or other sacred texts—but that's usually the province of liberals, because they're not religious fundamentalists. It's one thing to update a man-made text you believe is both valuable and problematic; changing the literal word of God to suit your political ends is quite a different story.

Why Minnesota's Community Solar Program is the BestThe content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at http://www.ilsr.org/minnesotas-community-solar-program/

Part III: Our trip to the Isle of Wight
Part III: Our trip to the Isle of Wight
On Thursday, we sailed to the Isle of Wight, and it was an exceptional March day. We left the slip about 9:30 a.m. with a bit of a scare, because the wind blew the stern off to port exiting the slip and I needed it to starboard to get out the fairway. I gassed the engine in reverse and pulled the stern back to starboard, but at that point the stern was cruising towards the boats across the fairway, and I needed a strong forward burst to halt progress and swing the bow, which I did and we cleared all with no problems, but the entire sequence was unexpected and seemed very high speed.
(I could write a full book chapter about how this boat spins like a pinwheel to starboard in reverse. I know that the rudder will bite at some speed in reverse-- two knots or so, but I haven't determined yet how much and how fast the bow will swing before reaching this magical speed and how wind conditions will affect the swing. Until then, I'd rather not practice in narrow marina fairways where hitting other boats at speed in reverse is a real option.)
Once my blood pressure dropped below 220, we were also out of the marina and sliding out the small boat channel of Portsmouth into the Solent. We headed out past buoy four and took the Swashway out toward the west, lining up the war memorial with a building behind as the recommended transit (and tracking things with the chart plotter as our second source of info).
Once out in the Solent proper, we had excellent sailing. Mostly sunny, 9-13 knots NW winds, and relatively open water. We did long tacks into the wind to work westward, reaching around 6.2 knots under sail, and the boat seemed perfectly happy with this amount of wind. We reached Cowes on the Isle of Wight sooner that we wanted, and did some extra sailing before dropping sails and motoring into Cowes and up the River Medina.
Entering Cowes and the River Medina. Looks like a sailing town, doesn't it?
Ellen MacArthur's B&Q (for sale).
After safely passing the chain ferry, we motored up river and got an excellent walk off dockside spot at the Folly Inn. We got there about 4 p.m., and it was sunny, clear and warm. We had happy hour on the boat, and then hiked up river to investigate another marina on the river. The weather was fantastic. On our return, we had a great dinner at the inn (best of the week), and then I did some night fishing with my son off the dock.
Obviously, this was too good to last, and at 3 a.m. the winds changed from 9-10 knots to 20 knots and then 30 knots. The river didn't have much of a swell, but the rigging of the boats were singing loud and the rain came down in sheets.
The next morning (Friday), stormy conditions continued. The weather station on the Solent
showed F6-F8 conditions. The forecast for Saturday looked the same, and only Sunday looked a bit lighter. The rain was heavy, and it didn't look like we could go outside much. Also, the currents in the Solent suggested a start by 9-10 a.m. to help take us back to Gosport.
We had pretty much decided to have breakfast at the inn and spend another day at the Folly. During a full English breakfast, we talked with the Inn keepers and changed our minds. The weekend before, the weather was the same, and it stormed the full weekend. The swell grew in the river, boats sank at their moorings, and it was pretty much not a fun thing. The keepers recommended leaving immediately if we wanted to get back by boat this weekend, or risk being stuck there until Monday or Tuesday. (We needed to be back to work and school on Monday).
Thus, we went back to the boat and pulled out against the sustained 25 knots of S winds. The river was a pretty easy trip, with the tail wind carrying us North and out of Cowes. The rain was pelting down, and the whole family was in the cockpit with the companionway shut so the rain wouldn't pour in. As we passed out of Cowes, the swell and waves really picked up and the boat was tossed quite a bit. Right at that moment, an ongoing rescue of a sailboat with 6 people aboard was carried out on channel 16. They were washed up on rocks near a lighthouse, the hull was holed, a helicopter went out, and a lifeboat took them off. Nice and encouraging for us to hear going out into strong winds and waves.
We hugged the shoreline of the Isle of Wight for awhile, because it was blocking the wind and we didn't want the leeshore of the coast. The kids wouldn't allow us to put up a deeply reefed main to do some sailing, and we had a lot to think about just from the gusts to 30 knots and more. The highest gust I saw on our readout was 39.8 knots, so I guess this was our first gale.
At one point, visibility dropped to about a third of a mile, and sailboat came at us from the opposite direction. She was a nice, longer ketch, and she was sailing with only her main up, in the third reef, but she was still ripping along. As she passed, we saw she was Gipsy Moth IV, out for a cruise, and I cursed myself for not having a waterproof camera. We didn't take a single picture on this trip because of the driving, constant rain.
Things got rough with the swell and wind on our starboard quarter, but no one was afraid, and no one got seasick for a change. Maybe there is truth in the acclimation idea. (We had all taken Stugeron that morning, though). Even when we turned wind and swell to stern, the boat could corkscrew strongly, but we motored through without a problem, following a course from buoy to marker with the drenched chart plotter in limited visibility. There was shipping out, but we never got near the ships or ferries.
During the entire trip, I was more concerned about the landing at the marina than anything else. A 30 knot crosswind could make landing fun. We rolled into the entrance of Portsmouth with no problems, and finally the rain stopped and the winds weakened a bit. Approaching the slip, the winds were down to 15-20 knots, from the NW across our slip at a 45 degree angle, toward the boat beside us.
I put her into the slip fairly easily, and my wife stopped off with the line from the beam cleat. I stepped forward asking my daughter for the aft line, and when she tried to hand it to me it wouldn't reach, because it was only set to 8 feet and I needed at least 14 to go forward to the finger. That delay was almost a disaster, because my wife couldn't hold the boat from being blown sideways away from the finger.
I leapt to the finger without a line and helped my wife angle her line around a cleat on the finger for more leverage as the wind gusted against the boat, The stern still swung sideways toward the other boat, and I muscled it back straight. It took awhile to get other lines off to secure the boat, and it wasn't easy with the winds gusting back up to 20-25 during the process. In the end, she was tied off and nothing was touched was wasn't supposed to be, so I guess any landing you can walk away from is a good one, but I prefer boring ones. Next time, we'll confirm the length of all mooring lines before approaching the slip.
After that squalls came through that screamed in the rigging and all the boats in the marina were heeling over in their mooring lines. I took some video of it and might post it later. Strong stuff this English weather. We were told that it's typically later in April when the weather is more uniform and predictable.
In the end, I think we were lucky to gain the experiences we did-- the longer passage, the seasickness and then the lack of seasickness, the first time out in a gale, and the beautiful day of sailing. We all gained a lot of confidence in the boat, and I'm glad we have a sea-kindly vessel. She's not large below, and someday the kids won't fit in the V berth, but the smashing we took going to windward didn't phase us or the boat. (A larger, pristine boat we looked at had been repaired for cracking/ripping in the engine area after falling off a wave, and I doubt our boat will ever have that problem.)
Next sailing plans: a trip to Yarmouth, or maybe just some day sailing until the weather stabilizes so we don't get caught in a remote port again.

IRVINE, Calif., June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Shrink Nanotechnologies, Inc. ("Shrink") (OTC Markets: INKN) and BlackBox Semiconductor, Inc. (OTCBB: VTDI) announced today the execution of the share exchange whereby 100% of the equity interests of BlackBox Semiconductor, Inc. (the Nevada company) were sold to BlackBox Semiconductor, Inc. (the publicly traded Delaware company). Additionally, a cash payment is due to be made to Shrink and BlackBox is to receive approximately 14,000,000 shares of Shrink common stock.

|Barkley thinks LeBron can be better than Jordan
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 04 October 2012 07:42
Jordan is considered by many to be the best player in NBA history. Barkley says he would never compare anyone to the Hall of Famer and six-time NBA champion. But Barkley also says that James is ``just bigger, stronger, faster.''
Barkley makes his comments on the first episode of NBA TV's ``Open Court,'' to debut Tuesday at 11 p.m. EDT. The series features a round-table discussion of NBA TV and TNT commentators. They include Shaquille O'Neal, Reggie Miller, Kenny Smith, Steve Smith, Chris Webber, Steve Kerr and Ernie Johnson.
James joined Jordan this year as the only players to win the NBA title, regular-season MVP, NBA Finals MVP and Olympic gold in the same year.

I have made a video player which plays different videos on clicking different menu items.
I am streaming the videos from the server.
problem is , Wen I run the player on the site. the first video streams correctly. but, when I click another menu item to load another video. then the video doesn't streams. it fully loads first and then plays.
why this is happening. my code is timeline based.
any clues? help me please.
thanks in advance.
Put event listeners on the video streams and trace them, to see what and when is triggered.
I checked. when I change the video. the netstaus remains netstream.buffer.flush.
it just stuck I think and nothing happens.
do you i have to add a new netstream for each video?
mp4 files are above 50 mb. would this be a problem?
From my experience this happens with video files that are missing some metadata at the beginning of the video, or they are are the end instead, so if you use onMetaData, this will only trigger once the video is fully loaded. Usually happens with MOV files, but if I'm correct older versions of AE would put metadata at the end as well…something like that anyway, try and convert your mp4 to flv and see if you still have the issue.

Fulham boss Martin Jol is unsure of keeping hold of star man Clint Dempsey.
The American has been linked with Arsenal and Manchester United.
Jol said: "I can't predict the future. We want to keep him and hopefully he wants to stay. We have offered him a very good deal.
"He knows he is very appreciated at our club. If we want to be a top side we need players who can score more than 20 goals a season.
"I have always had that – I can remember Luis Suarez scoring 53 for me at Ajax.
"He's not at that level yet but for a wide midfield player who can play up front and score that many goals, it is unbelievable."

MTA Long Island Rail Road resumed train service on the Montauk Branch east of Bridgehampton out to Montauk after repairing the North Main Street Bridge in East Hampton which was badly damaged Tuesday morning when it was struck by a private sanitation truck whose driver had disobeyed posted clearance limits.

An extremely challenging mod which forces players to think outside of the box... in order to get out of the box. Each room is a unique puzzle, and is always full of surprises. Not for players who aren't up for an intense, claustrophobic experience.

As July brings an end to school, August brings the end of development.
It is with great pleasure I announce the official release date for Escape The Room - Friday the 13th
ERmod has become much more than initially intended. It is now truly the intense and claustrophobic experience I have advertised. It's been a good long time in development, I know you will all be pleased with the results.
Some highlights to look forward to:
-A plot!
-Voice acting!
-Many more challenges!
Attached is a screen shot of the opening scene.
Thank you all for playing!

Ok, so I'm at the sky train. On my first attempt, there was a bunch of furniture scattered in the train, and a key was behind as desk that was stuck. I noclipped to avoid the frustration of slowly attempting to move the test by walking into it several hundred times. After leaving, I've no clue what to do next. I've checked everywhere and even noclipped even more hoping to somehow get a hint, no luck. Somebody help me out?
To reset a bugged map, just type kill in console. This should reset the bugged items. As for the puzzle after the train, you're on your own.
Hello , Dailymotion.com it's a walkgrouth for the mod escape room :)
You are TEARING ME APART LISA
ok, i fixed the thing on the skytrain level, but on the hospital part, when the dude's running around shouting like an idiot, i can't figure out how to get to the next chapter. whenever i kill the dude i just get a black screen with crappy music.
Perfect way to describe the ending.
whenever i finish the skytrain level, it cuts to the loading screen, then the game quits. halp?
i'll give it a 8. good puzzles, a bit too ugly map and objects, the commentar is good.
A generally enjoyable mod I'd say. At first, I thought it was one of those "click everywhere" sort of games, but things actually made some sense. Of course, many of the puzzles I solved purely out of luck, but some took logic, which I liked. The only design issue I saw was the performance drop at the medieval level, but it's no biggie. Keep up the work!
Just finished the game. IT WAS GREAT! Although, very hard. :)
I had to noclip for a fiew of them. Some were fun, some were hard, some were easy, some were weird.
I didn't really get it, got stuck on a the first map for half an hour, didn't get what I was meant to do, stopped playing.
I guess it's not for everyone, most people complain about how EASY it is
Don't rub it in -_-
Such a dumbhead, you said it was hard, he just said how people complain about how easy it is. So you just said what you just said for nothing.
Glad its finally released. I'm going to download it right now and play. I LOVED the demo! Now I get to play the Full Version! Yippy!
"So you just said what you just said for nothing."
No I said it because I personally found it too hard to play, mostly cuz I didn't get what I needed to do, apparently it's because I'm an incompetent idiot but that's fine, still makes my complaint valid since incompetent idiots play games too and therefore are part of the demographic.
True That.

My daughter loves products from The Body Shop and bought me the Seaweed Pore Perfector. I only have a few enlarged pores and since I have been using this product, I could see a visible change. It is definitely assisting in minimising the appearance of pores as well. I love my clearer-looking skin.
It absorbs easy and is not too expensive. You only need a few drops onm your problem areas. I use it mainly on my forehead, cheeks and nose.
The Body Shop are the founding members of the Ethical Trading Initiative, thus also protects the interest of people who make and supply their products, but also display their commitment in ensuring the best for their customers.
I do recommend any of their products, however, rather do research and ensure that you buy the product according to your skin type as to avoid disappointment and unnecessary expenses.
Remember, we do need to spoil ourselves at least once a month!

rope bridles vs rope travelers
I'm fixing a Rhodes 19, a very old one (1961), for a friend. It's been in his family all that time and is currently in bad shape. The mainsheet rigging appears to be especially messed up.
From what I can tell, original equipment on this model appears to be a rope bridle and a mid boom mainsheet block and tackle with the sheet fed back along the boom to the bridle. (I guess it's called a bridle.) How it could function as a real traveler isn't apparent to me. I've seen some rope travelers on newer Rhodes where the mainsheet block and tackle can actually be adjusted under sail to port or starboard.
Can anyone explain how a bridle functions and what it's supposed to do? I can't find out much about it.
Now for the screwy, at least I think so, mainsheet rigging. The main sheet currently goes through a cam cleat on the mainsheet block and tackle (from a catamaran no less!!), the whole assembly connected to a horizontal steel bar about 3 inches off the deck just behind the cockpit, and just under the end of the boom. I can't believe this could be correct but my friend disagrees. As it's set up now, one has to, say on a starboard tack, handle the tiller, which runs under the bar, with the left hand and hold the mainsheet with the right as it crosses back across the body to the cam cleat. Tacking is a nightmare even in moderate winds.
We hit some unexpected high winds on the lake one day (25mph + ) and almost broached at one point because of difficulty easing the main in a puff. Had to turn her quickly up into the wind but we almost went over.
(I've got some other questions but they can wait
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Comment: Re:And still plane do crash into each other (Score 1) 712
by sashako (#29297349) Attached to: Has the Rate of Technical Progress Slowed?
It was fedex or dhl cargo plane crashed into Russian passenger plane full with children, crashed because of air controller mistake. Air controller's orders have the highest priority, and it should be so as he sees the full picture. Later father of one of the children died in the crash came and killed air traffic controller responsible, then got jailed, then moved to Russian jail, now than later freed.

One of the most talented and creative authors working today, Neal Stephenson is renowned for his exceptional novels—works colossal in vision and mind-boggling in complexity. Exploring and blending a diversity of topics, including technology, economics, history, science, pop culture, and philosophy, his books are the products of a keen and adventurous intellect. Not surprisingly, Stephenson is regularly asked to contribute articles, lectures, and essays to numerous outlets, from major newspapers and cutting-edge magazines to college symposia. This remarkable collection brings together previously published short writings, both fiction and nonfiction, as well as a new essay (and an extremely short story) created specifically for this volume.
Stephenson ponders a wealth of subjects, from movies and politics to David Foster Wallace and the Midwestern American College Town; video games to classics-based sci-fi; how geekdom has become cool and how science fiction has become mainstream (whether people admit it or not); the future of publishing and the origins of his novels. Playful and provocative, Some Remarks displays Stephenson's opinions and ideas on:
By turns amusing and profound, critical and celebratory, yet always entertaining, Some Remarks offers a fascinating look into the prismatic mind of this extraordinary writer.
Neal Stephenson is the author of Reamde, Anathem; the three-volume historical epic the Baroque Cycle (Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World); Cryptonomicon; The Diamond Age; Snow Crash, which was named one of Time magazine's top one hundred all-time best English-language novels; and Zodiac. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

PROSPERITY — For Prosperity resident and Air Force veteran Terry Cotney, a leap of faith resulted in a sacred space to promote healing and wholeness.
The lodge for the Freedom and Hope Foundation provides Cody and other children with life threatening diseases or life altering diseases with a gift Terry Cotney envisioned when he founded the Freedom and Hope Foundation.
The outreach is a volunteer ministry supported by churches, area civic groups, and private donations.
In 2010 he founded Freedom and Hope to provide hunting and fishing activities as recreational therapy for children with life threatening diseases and for wounded military, both active duty and veterans.
Three memorial hunts are held each year in honor of veterans but Cotney said the group is open to holding more if possible.
Cotney said they host 30 to 40 events per year and provide housing.
"It's not about how many fish you catch or deer you kill. These hunts are about fellowship," Cotney said.
For the hunts, meals are provided and veterans and children have the option of spending the night at the Freedom and Hope Foundation lodge, which sleeps around 20 people.
Leap of faith
A member of Bethel Baptist Church in Prosperity, Cotney said he was driving one day past the old rescue squad building off Holland's Landing Road where his group met. He said he prayed for the Lord to show him a place he could build a respite for heroes.
"I pulled over to the side of the road and prayed and then learned that spot where I prayed was for sale. We did not purchase that property but found some within a few miles that was suitable," he said. "It was a burning bush moment. God called me to be a Good Samaritan but I've learned I can't do it by myself."
Cotney actually bought the land himself before donating it to the organization.
He said the Lord has provided such as in 2010 when he received a donation of electric wheelchairs. One veteran donated a pontoon.
Volunteers from Operation Inasmuch built walls for a storage shed and earlier in the week a group from Trinity United Methodist Church did work on the lodge.
"Various denominations are on board with us working for the cause of God and Country," Cotney said.
Freedom and Hope also partners with the Wounded Warrior Project, South Carolina DNR, and the National Wild Turkey Federation.
Vision to expand
A veteran and the brother of a Baptist minister, Cotney envisions expanding the ministry.
Freedom and Hope foundation recently began a capital campaign and Cotney hopes to find around 100 people to sponsor hunts and fishing activities.
He's asking for donations of $35 a month or one-time donations of $400 to help them meet expenses.
With a fund in place, Cotney said he could devote more energy toward reaching out to veterans and young people, which is his passion.
Right now, he and his board of directors devote a substantial effort to raising funds and collecting donations of paper products, food, drinks, fish food, and other items. He said he is thankful for the support from the community.

The girls' high school tennis team advanced to the second round of the MIAA tournament after a tough 3-2 win over Cohasset on Monday afternoon. They will play number 2 seed Norwell in an away match on Wednesday.
Annie Burton took on Hannah Rawson at first singles, winning the first set 6-4 and the second set in a 7-6 tiebreaker. Second singles player Dylan Brockmeyer won her match as well, 6-2, 6-4.
Alyssa Adler, playing at third singles, remains undefeated on the season, as she fought back from a second-set deficit to beat her opponent 6-3, 6-4.
Attention fans of the Martha's Vineyard boys' varsity basketball team: Watching the team's state tournament run can cause hypertension, hoarseness of voice and excessive nail-biting; please consult your cardiologist before attending another Vineyarders game.
If coach Michael Joyce's varsity boys' basketball team hopes to make any noise in the state tournament in the coming weeks it will likely come down to which team shows up: The one that went into halftime against Norton on Wednesday with their tails between their legs down 38-19, or the second half team whose stifling press and relentless intensity on offense earned them a thrilling 70-61 victory in their last game of the regular season.
It must have been some half-time speech.

McCain's League of Democracies
8:34 AM, May 3, 2007 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB
In a speech to the Hoover Institution on Monday, Senator McCain promised that if elected, within his first year in office he "will call a summit of the world's democracies" in an effort to promote a new international organization: the League of Democracies.
Here's how McCain described it:
Interestingly, the response among conservative bloggers seems to have been a collective shrug. Everyone likes the idea of an organization that would marginalize the United Nations--as Poweline's John Hideraker wrote, "A league of democracies could render the U.N. more or less obsolete if it proves able to act effectively." But whether it would be able to do any such thing seems to be a cause of concern.
Over at Hot Air, Bryan writes that "McCain's League would end up replacing a Chinese veto with a French one." Instead, Bryan suggests putting together an organization that would exclude China but also "minimize France in favor of stronger democracies like Japan and India, who also happen to see the world more like we do than France does."
Captain Ed labeled the idea "conservative red meat," but he also isn't enthusiastic. "Some of the democracies [France and Germany] don't behave," he says, "it sounds like a good idea, but in reality would go almost nowhere."And Jules Crittenden is even more derisive, calling McCain's proposal the "League of Blah Blah Blah." The lack of reliable democratic partners that "give a damn and are actually willing to do something," invariably means this will "be a pretty small club," he says.
Okay, so a League of Democracies isn't going to cure the world's ills overnight. But it's certainly a step in the right direction. Undermining the United Nations is a long-term project, and a parallel, more legitimate organization that helps to erode the UN's credibility with our more internationalist allies in Europe would seem a logical next step. Forming ad hoc coalitions will continue to be this country's only real choice for confronting serious threats, but these folks are missing the point if they think that the problem will lie in the organization's ineffectiveness.
International organizations are inherently ineffective. The only institution that has preserved any measure of credibility with conservatives is NATO, and that's because it is based on collective security rather than the idea of international law. And of course the only real test that NATO has faced since the end of the Cold War, the war in Afghanistan, has shown that it, too, leaves much to be desired.
God forbid this League of Democracies ever aspired to anything more than dealing with problems that the U.N. has failed to address: Darfur, sanctioning Iran, human rights, etc. The goal here would not be to build an effective international institution that might one day serve as yet another framework for restraining the United States. Instead, it would be a symbolic organization that simultaneously undermined the United Nations, bolstered maligned democracies like Israel and Taiwan, and ostracized antidemocratic regimes like those in Beijing and Moscow. Of course, we reserve the right to take military action against Iran, or Sudan, or anyone else, with or without the support of the United Nations, or any other international institution.
Conservatives shouldn't disdain a proposed international institution because it would be ineffective. After all, the real problem with the United Nations isn't its ineffectiveness, but rather its effectiveness in coddling dictators, protecting human rights abusers, and constraining our freedom of action.

A delivery partner found the victim on the ground with two gunshot wounds to the chest.
The victim is 53-year-old Robert Horton. He is from Arlington, Texas. The crew had driven from Texas and was making deliveries in Oklahoma.

Cruising NY to Florida -- intercoastal
From Norfolk to Miami its basically a straight shot follow the markers.Albermale , Pamlico and the Neuse river in NC can get a little rough other than that its mostly protected. Im not familiar with the NY through VA area. Im probally being a little extreme in suggesting you make the trip without charts it is helpful with marinas and anchorages as well as bridges. You certainly dont need new charts as long as you have a radio people in the south are very helpful. Some marinas , restaurants, etc. might be closed but again the boating community will direct you.I would bring some charts of the east cost atlantic if you decide you cant stand the drown of your motor. Beaufort to Wilmington is very easy as well as Wilmington to Charleston.

38 - Jedi Master Alain Bloch
Well, we already heard about the cool Lightsaber class that Danimator and his lovely wife, Maye have been attending, but we thought it'd be cool to hear more from the source ... because more Star Wars is always awesome.
Instructor Alain joins us to hang out and tell us more about the Golden Gate Knights, a San Francisco Bay Area not-for-profit social group that offers experienced instruction in saber choreography to its members.
Here's a little snippet from the Golden Gate Knights website ...
"Bloch is a life-long Star Wars fan who has been training in the NCSCS system under Matthew Carauddo. He has experience in many forms of martial arts including Iaido and Ying-Jow Pai Kung Fu. Currently, he is the head instructor for the Golden Gate Knights, and has made contributions to the second instructional DVD of Novastar and Caine's Saber Combat System. He has been making appearances in television and radio stations around the world including NBC Bay Area and Good Morning Sacramento."
But you know us, we wanna learn more about his inner-geek ... and geek we shall ...
(Post Show Note)
