Effective Linux Resource Management
Use control groups to manage complexity and performance in SUSE Linux Enterprise systems
Written by Matthias G. Eckermann and Bill Tobey
Cset: An Easy Approach to Control Groups
Managing control groups manually—mounting the virtual file systems, creating the cgroup hierarchy, starting new processes in the appropriate groups, moving existing processes into or between groups, tracking group membership, then closing down unneeded groups—can become confusing and complex. Fortunately for Novell customers who want a simpler point of entry, there is a Novell-developed tool, first introduced in SUSE Linux Enterprise, that greatly simplifies cgroup implementation and management.
The cpuset management utility is a Python application that provides an easy-to-use command line interface for the cpusets functionality in the Linux kernel. Called cset after installation (yes, it's admittedly a little confusing) the tool addresses only the CPU and memory partitioning functionality of the cpuset subsystem. But since these are the obvious starting points for resource management and performance optimization, the cset tool offers an ideal way to sample the power and potential of control groups.
Preparing to Use Cgroups
To prepare a system for performance optimization with control groups, begin with a patched SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP 1 install, then add the following packages:
- Libcgroup1 – The library for controlling and monitoring cgroups
- Libcpuset1 – A library that provides a convenient 'C' API to the CPUset subsystem
- Kernel-source – The source code for the Linux kernel
- Cpuset – The cpuset management utility
- Stress – A simple workload generator for testing the impact of our process grouping and resource allocation measures on application and system performance. Available through the opensuse build service at: http://software.opensuse.org/.
- Lxc - Linux containers (optional). We'll talk a little more about this important new development at the end of this article.
Simple Cgroups with Cpuset
The cpuset (cset) utility makes it quite easy to execute the basic tasks of control group setup and management.
Step One: Discover the available CPU and memory resources on your system. Use the set command as follows:
- cset set --list
to create a list of the available resources.
Step Two: Create the CPUSET hierarchy. In the simplest configuration there are at least three cpusets. The root cpuset which contains all CPU and memory nodes, the system cpuset which is assigned cpu and memory resources for lower-priority system tasks, and at least one user cpuset which receives sufficient resources to ensure adequate performance of higher-priority user tasks.
Assuming we have a four-way NUMA machine, the command:
- cset set --cpu=2-4--mem=1 --set=Charlie
will create a user cpuset named Charlie, to which are assigned the complete capacity of CPUs 2, 3 and 4, and their respective memory nodes.
Step Three: Start a process in a user CPUSET. The command:
- cset proc --set Charlie --exec -- stress -c 1 &
will start a process in the user CPUSET we just created. In this case, the new process is our workload generator.
Step Four: Move an existing process to a CPUSET. The command:
- cset proc --move --pid PID --toset=Charlie
will move an existing process (PID) into the CPUSET Charlie.
Step Five: List the tasks in a CPUSET, by using the command:
- cset proc --list --set Charlie
Step Six: Removing a CPUSET. Use the command:
- cset set --destroy Charlie
to remove the user CPUSET Charlie.
There, in six simple steps, is the complete lifecycle of a cpuset control group.
Linux Containers: The Future of Kernel Resource Management
Even as work continues on the subsystems for disk and network resource management, the next generation of kernel resource management technology is fast approaching production readiness. Linux containers (lxc) builds on all the control group infrastructure that we've talked about in this article—CPU, Memory, Namespace, Freezer, Checkpoint/Restart and Network—to provide fast, lightweight, OS-level virtualization without the need for the instruction interpretation or emulation normally provided by a hypervisor. It's similar to Linux-VServer or OpenVZ.
Linux containers can be used to run an application, a service or a full (Linux) operating system, partially separated from the rest of the system, but with essentially native performance. In particular, disk I/O is undiminished and cpu and I/O scheduling are much more fair and tunable than with full virtualization. This makes it possible to contain disk I/O intensive applications such as databases, to manage their impact on other applications and processes.
Linux containers is provided as a technology preview in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 1, and it is our intent to provide full production support in Service Pack 2. The lxc technology preview comes with rich online documentation (man lxc), including some implementation examples. Information on building and using Linux containers can be found on SourceForge, and on opensuse.org.

Nairobi — Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Monday, for the second time, asked Education minister Sam Ongeri to resign and make way for an investigation into the free education scandal.
Speaking during a meeting at Equity Bank headquarters in Upper Hill, Nairobi, Mr Odinga repeated last Friday's demand that Prof Ongeri and his permanent secretary Karega Mutahi step aside.
Prof Ongeri, who was at the function, spoke quietly to Mr Odinga after the PM's remarks. He later told the Nation that he informed the Prime Minister he should not have raised the issue in public.
Proper investigations
In his speech, Mr Odinga said: "I told my friend the minister for Education and the permanent secretary to step aside to allow for investigations.
"Investigations start by suspecting everybody. People then go by way of elimination. That is how proper investigations are carried out," Mr Odinga said, to laughter by the crowd in attendance.
Prof Ongeri, who sat next to Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta, watched as Mr Odinga went on to say that the Nyaribari Masaba MP was his personal friend, but he would still do the same (call for resignation) of his brother or family member if mentioned in graft.
Prof Ongeri and Prof Mutahi have been under pressure to resign after it emerged that ministry officials had falsified records to defraud the free education programme of millions of shillings.
Fifty officials have been suspended and Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission is investigating the scandal. Donors have withheld cash for the programme.
Speaking to the Nation later, Prof Ongeri said by raising the issue at an official meeting, the Prime Minister was "behaving like any other heckler".
"I wondered why he committed the mistake in public again when I am not under any investigations."
What was being investigated in the ministry, he said, was a matter of imprests, which affected individual officers and he had no role to play.
He could only step aside, he said, if he was found guilty of an offence.
The minister, a surgeon and former professor of medicine, said it was wrong for the PM to attack him in public when he had a chance to deal with the matter in their offices.
"It is wrong to turn out to be a heckler like other people when you have a clear way of dealing with the matter in private at offices."
After the meeting, Mr Odinga shook hands with Prof Ongeri and the two beamed at each other.
Equity bank boss James Mwangi joked: "As you can see, they are friends."
Mr Odinga said the country needed to embrace a proper anti-corruption culture and gave the example of India where the minister for Transport once resigned after a train was involved in an accident.
"We must face this animal called corruption head-on. Sometimes it's a matter of perception. When allegations are made, we must give it benefit of doubt and allow investigations to be carried out," Mr Odinga said.
The PM regretted that Kenya was now ranked among corruption giants such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and Pakistan, adding that Kenya does not belong to such a league.
End graft stigma
He said the country must manage its scarce resources prudently and end the stigma of being portrayed as among the most corrupt countries in the world.
Radical change in the management of education is required, to one where communities, teachers, parents and administrators are held accountable.
Every child should have equal access to quality education and upward social mobility, Mr Odinga added, and all Kenyans should have equal access to quality medical care.
In his speech, Prof Ongeri made no mention of the free education cash scandal.
Mr Kenyatta, who together with Mr Odinga, each gave Sh1 million for a fund launched by Equity Bank and Mastercard International to assist needy students, said the war against corruption could not be won through a war of words, but by strong strategies. And there should be goodwill from all for the fight to succeed, he added.
The Finance minister said donors were happy with the way the government was addressing the education scandal.
"We have put in place a robust action plan for disbursement of resources," he said, adding that the government had also started reimbursing donors the lost funds.
He announced that more than 4000 nurses are to be recruited to start work in March.
Meanwhile, activists have given the President a seven-day ultimatum to sack Prof Ongeri and his PS or face mass action.
"No credible investigations can take place when the two are in office. They must get out," Mr Okoiti Omtata, a human rights activist, said.
In Malindi, Coast Parliamentary Group (CPG) vice-chairman Gideon Mung'aro said some MPs were collecting signatures to pass a vote of no-confidence in Prof Ongeri.
In Kisii, three MPs backed Mr Odinga's calls. Foreign Affairs assistant minister Richard Onyonka and MPs Charles Onyancha and Simon Ogari said the PM was right to ask Prof Ongeri to step aside.
But in Eldoret, MPs Benjamin Lagat of Ainamoi and Elijah Lagat of Emgwen accused Mr Odinga of making "roadside declarations.
They said Mr Odinga was out to win political support for fighting high level corruption.

Adobe and Apple working together on Flash for iPhone
Adobe and Apple are working together to finally bring Flash to the iPhone platform, it's been revealed.
Adobe had previously stated that work on the animation plug-in is well underway - but now it has teamed up with Apple to make it happen.
Adobe boss Shantanu Narayen said: "It's a hard technical challenge, and that's part of the reason Apple and Adobe are collaborating. The ball is in our court. The onus is on us to deliver".
Apple had previously stated that Flash was too "resource-heavy" for the portable platform, leading to speculation that Adobe will tweak the software to suit Apple's demands.

"It's the perfect time to go back out. 2013 is going to be the year of Fleetwood Mac," said Stevie Nicks yesterday, confirming rumors from earlier this year that the iconic band will head out on tour in 2013. They're packing up their greatest hits and shipping out on a three month tour that will take them all over North America, and eventually Europe and Australia.
"We always have to play 'Dreams,' 'Rhiannon,' 'Don't Stop,' 'Tusk,' 'Big Love,' 'Landslide' and all our most famous songs," Lindsey Buckingham told Rolling Stone, figuring that about 75 percent of each set will be made up of hits, leaving a quarter of each night for the "under-explored," "more songs from Tusk," or "an extended middle portion of the show that's just me and Stevie."
Nicks had an even better idea for that remainder of time: "We actually have two new Fleetwood Mac songs that I cut with Lindsey two weeks ago we might play." Crystal visions, we sure hope.

Mammy 2.0 Alert?
I read the book on a lark about four or five years ago, as an escape from the hell that was my daily life at the time. I thought, "wouldn't that be nice, to have a place to runaway to, where strong maternal black women take care of you and let you eat lots of honey."
How very white of me to think so. Mine may have been the intended reaction to the story. I imagine book clubs across the country sitting down and saying the same thing.
Last week, the trailer for the the film came on t.v., and Anxious Black Woman's analysis of Jennifer Hudson's character in the Sex and the City movie came immediately to mind. (Hudson, by the way, is also in Secret Life of Bees.)
In the book, a little girl runs away, with a young black woman in tow, to her mother's childhood home. She throws herself on the doorstep of a trio of black sisters, who take her in. The little girl faces difficult truths, grows, becomes a better person, and blahblahblah onward to healing and redemption. All with the help of these sisters.
The novel takes place in the 1960s, with Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement on the periphery of the story. They add a touch of social consciousness to a plot that otherwise treats the black women as vehicles for the white girl's self-actualization. They, like the Mammies of the past, exist in the story to raise the girl and (if I remember correctly) her mother before her.
Today in class, we discussed various stereotypes of African Americans. When we got to "Mammy," (via Aunt Jemima, via "why are black people always associated with pancakes and waffles?", via Little Black Sambo, via a discussion of African naming practices that survived the Middle Passage -- we sometimes have stream of consciousness class meetings) I introduced them to the Mammy 2.0 idea. They all laughed at the name, but the women became dubious and silent at the explanation. That should have been a clue that we were entering uneasy territory.
I blithely blundered on and mentioned this movie, suggesting that it might contain instances of Mammy 2.0. All of the women in the class swooned. "Ahhh, Secret Life of Bees!" they exclaimed. "Queen Latifah!" "Alicia Keys!" "I can't wait to see that!" (The guys, incidentally, rolled their eyes as if to say "chick flick.")
This was not the reaction that I expected; but, then, I was also placing my interpretation and experience onto them. I was critiquing the types of characters with which they had formed some sort of identification. Given the paucity of meaty, solid roles for black actresses, and given the rigid and racist beauty standards of Hollywood, these young women wait a long time to see an interesting story starring women who look like them as the protagonists.
Since the characters are not blatantly stepping and fetching, since the author wrote characters who are sympathetic and, to some degree, more fully imagined and empowered than Margaret Mitchell's Mammy, and since such popular and charismatic actresses can bring depth and dignity to these characters, these students are not seeing this as a white movie with black characters. They see it as a black movie, or a white movie that has a population of black characters large enough to make it seem like a black movie. Furthermore, they see that the main character is, in fact, a child. The adults with responsibilities, wisdom, and power within the plot are the black woman.
I'm not sure exactly what I did when I connected the movie with Mammy. Did I do a bad thing, now raising doubts about the movie for them? Did I do a good thing, pointing out a stereotype? (As if they remember a thing that I say when they walk out the door.) I did rather hope that they would become more conscious of images in the media, but that can be a disturbing consciousness, and teaching requires a fine hand in causing that disruption. They were willing to de-construct Aunt Jemima; but an analysis of characters played by Queen Latifah, Alicia Key, and Jennifer Hudson (not to mention the beautiful Sophie Okenedo) cuts a little too close to home.
Should a good teacher know how to make that cut a little less painful?

i think there are two ways one can go with that, one of them is the mammy 2.0.
the other is that a young girl had gone to people she hoped were compassionate and cared about those around them. these are three independent women who are prospering in their own right.
in some ways the background action of the civil rights movement makes their taking the child in more brave and rebellious than first appears. the women are living their lives with strength and integrity within a world that tells them they're lesser than everyone who has pink skin. yet they treat the "enemy" (the child) as they would their own child.
i don't know why the child runs away. i've never read the book but i might now because of the way the characters are brought out in that little movie clip.
the movie makes the women more than a portrayal of "noble savage" but as humans no different from others but set aside because of the the social times they live in.
i could be totally wrong in my point of view. i'd love to hear what a black woman feels about the movie.

I think that Mammy 2.0 is not really the best way to analyze this film. There's a big difference between this and "Sex and the City" -- which basically added Jennifer Hudson as a token. This film places strong black female characters at the center. It also appears from the trailer to capture the many complexities of the era in which it is set. I wouldn't so easily dismiss it.

I really like both of your interpretations. The black women are nuanced and interesting, which was the reason that I put in the question mark in the title. My students (who, incidentally are all African American and African) would agree with you too.
I confess that I enjoyed the hell out of the book, and will probably rent the movie and enjoy the hell out of it (if only because I have a bit of a crush on Queen Latifah that goes back to her appearance on the Donahue show in 1990) but my enjoyment did make me uncomfortable because I wondered if I was responding to some of the Mamminess and to something romantic about the painful aspects of the 1960s.
My discomfort also bothers me becasuse, as I write in the post and as you both point out, the author, movie makers and actresses are all bringing depth to the characters; and there are so few good roles for black actresses that this is a very appealing movie for a black audience. Who am I to criticize that?
Now, I'm interested in the creative team behind the scenes. I'll go look that up.
P.S. Dykewife, maybe the movie makers should give me a kickback for adding an audience member? If that happened, I'd pass it on to you for grad school.

I don't think it's wrong, as long as you raised it as a question. It becomes a way to model thinking something through. What's different here? What's the same?

Breastfed infants, in general, have fewer infections and a reduced chance of developing allergies and food intolerances.
For these and other reasons, breast-feeding is strongly recommended for at least the first four to six months of life.
However, if a woman is unable to breast-feed or chooses not to, infant formulas (altered forms of cow's milk) could provide safe and adequate nourishment for an infant.
Goat's milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk are inappropriate for infants.
Soy formulas and hydrolysed protein formulas could be used if a milk allergy is suspected.
In developing countries with poor sanitation, over-diluted formulas or those prepared with contaminated water could cause malnutrition and infection, resulting in diarrhea, dehydration, and even death.
Breastfed infants may need supplements of iron and vitamin D during the first six months of life and fluoride after six months.
A vitamin B12 supplement is advised for breastfed infants whose mothers are strict vegetarians.
Solid foods, starting with iron fortified infant cereals, could be introduced between four and six months to meet nutrient needs that breast milk or infant formulas can no longer supply alone.
Other foods could be introduced gradually, one every few days.
Infants should not be given honey which may contain bacteria that could cause botulism, foods that are too salty or sweet, foods that may cause choking, or large amounts of fruit juice.
Starting at one year of age, whole cow's milk could be an excellent source of nutrients for children.
However, because cow's milk is associated with gastrointestinal blood loss, iron deficiency, and an allergic response in some young infants, some medical societies do not recommend giving unmodified whole cow's milk to children less than one-year-old.
Low fat or non-fat milk is inappropriate for children less than two years of age.
The rapid growth rate of infancy slows down in early childhood.
During childhood but not before the age of two, a gradual transition to lower fat foods is recommended, along with regular exercise.
Establishing healthul practices in childhood would reduce the risk of childhood obesity as well as obesity in adulthood and related chronic diseases, example, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
Vegetarian children could be well-nourished but care is needed for them to receive sufficient energy (calories), good-quality protein, vitamins B12 and D, and the minerals iron, zinc, and calcium.
It is difficult for children who do not drink milk to obtain enough calcium from their food, and supplements may be required.
Because of possible toxicity, iron supplements should be taken only under medical supervision.
A small percentage of school-age children who have difficulty sitting still and paying attention are diagnosed with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Studies have found no convincing evidence that ADHD is caused by sugar or food additives in the diet or that symptoms could be alleviated by eliminating these substances.
Because of unusual eating practices, skipped meals, and concerns about body image, many teenagers, especially girls, have a less than optimal diet. Teenage girls, in particular, need to take special care to obtain adequate amounts of calcium so that bones could be properly mineralised. Iron deficiency anaemia is a concern not only for teenage girls, who lose iron periodically in menstrual blood, but also for teenage boys.
We are now very confident that you would raise your children in a healtful way nutritionally as we have provided you with the standard for good health.
This long journey for health living is spiced with a lot of ingredients and once you add them in your life in its rightful proportion then disease won't be your portion.
Though we might fall sick at times, there is a lot we can do to prevent diseases and what we are giving you through health informative articles is an eye opener to your past, present and future health risks.

I did a test on one site and it said: You are an Artist Empath, one who creates their own reality and infuses the realities of others with your energy & emotions. You are poetic and sensitive. You turn your feelings into creations and share them with the world. Everything you touch turns to song and is freed by the color of your eyes. Your spirit dances with the winds and paints delight in the evening sky. Well everyone agreed that this was spot on. I wrote these people from the site that I was not born an Empath I made myself into one by opening my heart to its widest degree. I would say all open hearted people would tend to be empaths of one sort or another. In my HeartHealth book I have a chapter on the Grace of the Heart and of course one of the graces is empathy. And here I am sitting in front of my computer with my mind and heart empathizeoked up to the world. I have made it my job to keep in touch with what is going on in the world and there is not a day that people and children are being hurt even attacked by govenments and major corporations. It hurts to feel all of this and sometimes makes me feel indignation and sometimes firery anger like a solar flair comes out of me. I can tell you that I am longing for a visit to my Sanctuary in the interior. I miss the pure water there and the trees and mountains and the people.Anonymous
O_o Okaaaayyyy . . . somehow I missed it until just now that back in October some guy I don't know messaged me on here. He said he found my Pinterest profile and just had to look me up to tell me empathizew beautiful I am. Erm . . . and people say I'm creepy? That's not a little stalkerish or anything.Anonymous
I've found a way of making peace with those I must be around, for now, until I can get away from them. Yes it will still hurt every time I see a ham sandwich, or the milk they pour in their tea. But it hurts going to the shops and passing restaurants and seeing fish in tanks and birds in cages and all the other empathizerrors we regularly have to encounter in this speciesist world. What was making it most painful to be around people I know though, was this feeling of responsibility. Imagine…a child is being beaten to death somewhere who you love as your own, and you know these people unwittingly are paying for that, are creating that violence. Of course the constant feeling is to want to try to reach them about it, to say whatever you can on their victims behalf. But in some situations people have heard it all and are resolutely shut down, so to talk further only escalates tension and defensiveness. What I realised is though, its not my responsibility to reach everyone,perhaps especially those closest to me. Also, to cope with their appalling denial and lack of caring I'm going to trust that while I don't know the reason why yet, cannot see it, there is a reason for their denial which isn't pure selfishness, I need to trust that people aren't bad, even though their behaviour is bad and I currently don't understand why they won't look at something so simple and obvious as billions of animals being tortured and the whole planet dying because of their food choices. So, I'll trust underneath their bad behaviour they are innocent, and still potentially could wake up some other time later on. There is a whole vegan movement happening and so many of us speaking out and as we do speak out we reach some and more go vegan, and its going to start coming at them from all kinds of sources. I am not a lone voice for the animals, none of us are lone voices. Perhaps with some people we have to just trust they will get there in their own way and time, and empathizeld a positive vision of that happening no matter empathizew unlikely it seems. Trust they aren't terminally selfish and totally incapable of change. Which is what fills me with the despair, to feel they just don't care and will never care….well I don't know that, even the hardest hearts can open.Anonymous
Hey Guys, if you are 'over sensitive' to other people, crowds, the stuff going on in the world, you may be an empath. This link takes you to a recording of a show I did a few months ago. It continues to be one of the most listened to shows I've done so far. During the show I discuss what an empath is, why they struggle and empathizew they can shift from struggle into stability and empowered living. Enjoy! <3 DaniellaAnonymous
Maybe I shouldn't expect the average person to understand this, but I'm going to have to just come right out and say it on the 17th to the social worker. It is equal to force a severe empath to live amongst predatorial, power-monger types as it is to send and innocent person to a high security prison. Most people have no clue that a hypersensative empath suffers mental torture on a daily basis just by fighting agoraphobic tendencies and leaving their empathizeme. If I have to go back to living on the VA strip, or worse yet the empathizewell Street room rentals, the karma on society in Bath, NY will be devastating, and likely national news worthy. I've climbed so many walls that were put up by ignorant, inconsiderate people in the last 2-3 years alone that there will be no more climbing. There will be explosives blowing empathizeles in it so I can just walk through when the smoke clears. A wise super hero character once said, "Mr. McGee, don''t make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."Anonymous
What playing card are you from the deck? This is another fun way to get a mini personality snap shot of what cards you were dealt in life. I'm a 5 of diamonds. If you want a quick mini read of what card you are just share your month and day. For example I'm March 18th. I'll then let you know what playing card you are from the deck, and a brief mini read to go with it.Anonymous
Made it through the first day of class. School is the same yet very different than it was 20+ years ago. I am asking for technology downloads from the team to help me with grasping the programming aspects. I only asked myself why I am doing this about 5 times today, particularly in trying to figure out the online teaching modalities, but each time I clearly felt and heard that this will help me bring more love and beauty into the world. Spreading my wings.Anonymous
Tazwell Remu "A conversation about finding resolution from the male side of my androgeny. An interesting to say the least progression of dream work, or the work that precedes the sleep. A spontaneous call to process forgiveness. Parts of my life that I hadn't really given much thought to. Turns out I am like most folks, lots of opposite sex forgiveness issues. Pain body. A real eye opener. As most who know me understand, I am very comfortable with my feminine aspect. I treasure it in fact. For many years it was a great burden, but isn't that the way things are ? Im thinking today about the many women and men that are single. And this message goes out to the gals. When dealing with men, consider respecting their process as you would a treasured female friend. In other words, play fair. This need for fair play is something most men will not understand, but will instead feel a deep frustration about. There are high quality men out there that would make wonderful companions and life mates if the relationship arena is approached in a clean way. Just as men need to address their issues, gals I am telling you, unless you want to be solo or worse, teamed up but not in authenticity, hear me. As I look back on a lifetime of female relationship disappointments, I realize it came down to the woman not being culpable and often utilizing emotional drama or distraction tactics to avoid dealing when conflict arises. This is something most men will not understand. Also this is something that women do not do to other women that they respect and care for. Such a friendship without empathizenoring the code would not last. It's a sort of code of conduct that the feminine side of my androgeny understands. Women call women that don't empathizenor that code a certain name that I will not use here. This comes right from the hip of an empath and androgenous being in a mans body. We are made like this because we are Healers. We cross the divide that keeps most persons well confined and defined. Think about it, follow your heart.""Anonymous
Omg. they are cutting because he got caught smoking pot! wow. it's medical. he has stress because all these empathizeing chicks cut themselves over him. that's a lot of pressure.Anonymous
Crow, September 22 - October 22. The falling leaves time. Like their moon totem animal, crow people require the company of others to provide them with asense of security, and work best in partnerships or groups. This tendency provides them with an empath for others and consideration of points of view other than your own. You have an ewsy going nature, disliking contention, muddle, confusion, and emotional upsets preferring to keep the peace at almost anyprice. You are a good organizer and an enthusiastic communicator, but reluctant to be hurried into making decisions you may later regret. Challenges will arise in your life to test your capacity to share and cooperate with others whilst still retaining your individuality and independenceAnonymous
Mr. Music the Super just left. The bathroom is fixed and I think that he left a little stupified. I told him he needs to get some Sage or Sea Salt because he has been dealing with too many people in the building and is having trouble with their energy. He is very empathic like I am.Anonymous

Ok so I forget the past empathizew the empathize do i forget the empath an the feelings an the reponsibities all in one big huge lump sum. oh an the personality disorder is not a joke. It will one day empathize me an that scares me more then the idea of anything right now. so sad confused an uncertain. But strong an will beat this empathizepefully safely an not mistakenlyAnonymous
There are advantages to not being highly empathetic. If you're not highly empathetic, you're not constantly aware of the feelings and emotional responses of those around you, and not inclined to stop what you're doing and immediately give your full attention to someone else. If you're not highly empathetic, you're never concerned with considering the circumstances that have led someone else to experience the emotions that they're currently feeling, or the angst they may internally feel about the choices they've made that led them to this point. If you're not highly empathetic, you'll never hesitate to go to a place where emotions are on full display or deeply experienced, and will instead be able to enjoy those places within the quiet context of your own thoughts in isolation. If you're not highly empathetic, you will never be tormented with an awareness of the darkness of another person's soul simply from making eye contact with them, or from sensing the fear they instill in others. If you're not highly empathetic, life must be much simpler.Anonymous
empathizeo my sensitive friends. So much has happened in the past week, I have received many confirmations from the Universe that the best decisions was made when I chose to keep this page open. So much so that I have decided to change the focus of my new page .. this too will be for sensitives & empaths. Why two pages? There are many who do not identify with the terms highly sensitive or empath so I'm creating the new page to appeal to and attract other sensitive Souls so they may find their way here and learn about our trait. I feel fresh and new and feel the new page will grow to be a resource that will help many. Please "like" the new page as there will be many more posts there sharing all kinds of things about ways to manage our energy and our feelings. Much love and gratitude, Jules ♥Anonymous
So I called up a friend who does psychic readings, she is an empath lives in Minnesota and has been in a few car crashes. So I asked about future relationships. To which she said,"You are too nice a guy, every woman that will be with you will most likely cheat on you". So, in light of this most people would be devastated but it has only hardened my heart. So I am going to focus on enjoying life and what good I do get from life. On the other hand I almost feel like saying phuck it.Anonymous

The science of Vixendia: Tamiris sees colors when she's close enough to someone else. The colors tell her what the person/creature is feeling. She's an Empath. This is based on the fact that some people see colors when they hear musical tones. Some children have that but usually outgrow it. Mozart had that ability through his entire life. What I don't know is empathizew they see colors. Do they have to close their eyes to see the colors? This should be researched so that the depiction is as close to real as possible. Also there is something called, "Time Skipping" in the script. It's empathizew they do interstellar travel. What would be a theoretical model to support that? Astrophysicists would need to be consulted. The idea I had was that it would be a technology that treats time and space somewhat like grooves on a vinyl record. If the space craft is like the record needle, you just skip over the grooves to a new time and position to get from one place to another. A time machine would be needed to correct for time displacement during a spacial transport from one place to another otherwise the travelers sense of time would get messed up. They'd get older or younger or maybe you would leave Earth in 2013, for example and wind up in Vixendia a thousand years later. It's not that the technology needs to be possible, just plausible. A theory constructed based on something likely.Anonymous

What is an Empath? A psychic empath or sensitive is a person who can Feel the emotions around us. This ability can be both a gift and a curse and we learn early that there is a time and place to buffer what comes at us. Empaths can feel the energy and emotions that surround you and can include your guides, spirits influencing you, issues in your life and your fears. Empaths are highly sensitive, and while we can't tell you empathizew to make a fortune, we are able to advice on issues from finance to fears which can lead to improved decision making. An empath with experience can feel the energy around you and interpret it so that it makes sense to you. This gift means that we are subject not only to our own emotions, but those we are reading or live with or work with...until an empath learns to shield her/himself. It's not always a pleasant gift, but it is one that serves us well over the course of our lives. Often, it is this ability that tells us when a loved one could use a shoulder or a friend is scared. Its benefits far outweigh any negatives. As with all types of psychic ability, a sensitive's gifts are not without responsibility both to themselves and others. Empathic people are particularly good at feeling the "unseen" emotions around you. In other words, the energy of spirits or guides or angels around you can often be felt by empaths. A psychic empath can feel the emotions pushing at you from your guides and spirits, and can then help you direct your focus.Anonymous
The first 5 people to comment below will receive from me, sometime in 2013, a gift - perhaps a crystal, a reading, a poem, could be anything. There will be no warning and it will happen whenever the mood strikes me. The catch? Those 5 people must make the same offer on their FB status. This is such a lovely idea, thank you to Angie Elmore for starting this. xxAnonymous
I would like to reiterate..I only mean "empath" in regards to feelings and emotions but in no way spiritual beliefs. I believe in God El Elyon, Addonai, the Great I Am. I believe God gives us gifts and they can be used either for good or for bad, just like anger and prophetic abilities but everything the empathize uses is a counterfeit of God's uses of power, anointing, and gifts. Please don't get it twisted anyone. Thank you.Anonymous
This is an interesting psychology question. The winner gets a free gift from me. You have to answer the question and explain your answer in say 100 words or so. Don't write a book. Here's the question: Do you think that perspective taking or empathy is produces a better over-all outcome when it comes to what the other person wants or needs?Anonymous

Channeling is easy, knowing what we are Channeling and what we are Channeling understanding it from a really deep knowledge is a lot harder to reach. Tuning into certain frequencies isn't the hard part all. It's taking the time out to really understand what is coming in. It's realizing that as human beings we all have negative traits within ourselves to work on. Bless the Nite AprilAnonymous

Empathy is the ability to read and understand people and be in-tune with or resonate with others, voluntarily or involuntarily of one's empath capacity. Empaths have the ability to scan another's psyche for thoughts and feelings or for past, present, and future life occurrences. Many empaths are unaware of empathizew this actually works, and have long accepted that they were sensitive to others.

People, get confused with respect to Jung, and his relation to existential philosophy and popular psychology. While, it is true that he was empathizestile to Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre, I've indicated areas of convergence in my writing and practice. You need, to read Jung closely, perhaps with English, German, French, Latin, and Greek, dictionaries, and know something of the Humanities, Parapsychology, Bioilogy, Religion, History, Mythology, Philosophy, Anthropology, Chemistry, and Physics. Because, he was a great storyteller, and intuitive empath, the reader often fails to grasp his profoundly creative imagination and erudition.

Being Clairvoyant/Medium/Empath it is somewhat overwhelming when, out of the blue, I 'open up' to more than just my immediate surroundings. The 'flashes' of things I saw; the overwhelming emotion and anxiety that I 'sensed' from a vast majority of people caught me off guard. Thankfully I know empathizew to handle that.

As a natural Empath I know empathizew uncomfortable it can feel to be around a lot of people, in crowded areas and supermarkets etc During my Counselling & Psychotherapy training I had to "shut down" completely, because I often felt to be on overload.

When it Rains, Walk out in Style
As much as we love the romance behind letting go of our inhibitions and running out in the pouring rain, it"s unfortunately not as practical as what we all secretly hope for… So what better way to protect yourself from the rain than to do it in style with Burberry Prorsum"s amazing umbrella collection! This amazing collection first saw the
The fanciful collection of umbrellas features intricately hand carved metal and resin animal heads as well as hand painted wooden mallard ducks. Even though these umbrellas were shown down the runways paired with the menswear collection, these can be easily transitional for women as well. However, an equally stunning alternative was presented for women with studded handles which perfectly matched the highly coveted studded leather gloves.
Now all we can secretly hope for, is a bit of rain so we have an excuse to walk out in style with these whimsical walking umbrellas!

FEW physicists can say that their work has had a profound impact on the lives of most people alive today. But three scientists whose pioneering work ushered in the era of microelectronics and the ubiquitous silicon chip can make such a claim, and they have won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics for their efforts.
Russian-born Zhores Alferov of the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St Petersburg, Russia, and Herbert Kroemer of the University of California at Santa Barbara shared half of the £625,000 prize. They won their award for developing fast microelectronic and optoelectronic components made of layered semiconductors in the 1950s and 1960s.
In 1957, Kroemer showed theoretically that heterostructure transistorsmade by laying down thin layers of semiconductors such as gallium arsenideshould be superior to conventional transistors built from specially modified pieces of a single material such as silicon. Today, heterotransistors and similar devices are used in satellite and ...

Free PressNowComment.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Robert McChesney: The history of Free Press in a nutshell: John Nichols [JP— McChesney's frequent co-author] and I had written some articles and a couple of pamphlets together between 1999 and 2002, basically saying that it's time to have an organized media reform campaign in the U.S. that could effectively mobilize grassroots support and challenge the nature of our media system. It grew naturally out of the research I had done and have done since then on the policy fights over the establishment of U.S. media. So we had always been calling for this. John's a journalist; I'm a college professor. We're not professional organizers. Finally a guy named Josh Silver, who had been a successful organizer on campaign finance reform in Arizona, contacted me in early 2002 and said he wanted to organize the group to do something on media issues. He didn't know much about media, but he'd read one of my books and wanted to meet with me. For some reason I agreed to meet with him, even though I had no reason to know if he knew anything or had his act together. I met with him. As did John and a couple of other people, including, I think, Janine Jackson of Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting, Inc. (FAIR). We met with Josh at his home in Washington, as I recall. It was a good talk. We talked about what needed to be done. Then we didn't hear from him for something like six to eight months, when he got back with us at the end of 2002 began working on it full time. We talked some more, and we decided to start a group. Free Press was officially launched in 2003.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">We got this huge rocket thrust with all this interest. So suddenly instead of being on the sidelines thinking we were going to be organizing for years, Josh and a couple of people that were working with us by the summer of 2003 found themselves in the middle of this uprising. So that was the beginning of Free Press. We weren't expecting it. But it forced us to get serious about political organizing much sooner than we had thought and gave us phenomenal practical experience. It probably condensed years of experience into months—even weeks—and put us on our path.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">McChesney: I don't know if there are clearly defined subsets within the movement with distinct agendas or programs, even strategy and tactics. I don't think we're that developed, actually, to get to that point. I can only judge Free Press, and in terms of resources it is by far the largest media reform group in the country today. Free Press—and I think this is the tone that filled the conference—in the second half of the last decade, really put an emphasis on working inside the beltway in Washington and getting favorable results from politicians far more than we ever intended when we started the group. We intended it largely to be an outside the belt-line grassroots group that would put pressure on politicians, but we had so much success in the second term of George W. Bush's administration that we sort of filled a vacuum, and I think we put a lot of chips on the Obama number.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#00000A">JP: You argue that declining coverage of local political campaigns is a factor in reducing voter turnout and producing a generally less informed public. What led to the decline of local coverage, and what do you think should be done to reverse it?
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">On the one hand, we have seen the political standards of professional coverage of campaigns has devolved to basically what is called "horse-race coverage"—an obsession with who is winning, who is manipulating people better, and who is trailing in the polls. So the people who are ahead in the polls get good coverage, and the people who are behind in the polls are sort of criticized as morons who don't know how to run a good campaign. It's all about spin, assessing the quality of the spin, and how well candidates can B.S. people. It's pretty much nutritionless and garbage for anyone actually trying to be involved in serious matters of governance and politics.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">To the extent that they get any coverage, it's so small as to be inconsequential. There are almost no debates that are aired for any races aside from the president and maybe some statewide races periodically. And the debates that do exist are moronic as a rule. They are written up in such a way as to be people just bandying their talking points at each other, and their slogans and their sound bites. Everyone's in the gaffe game hoping someone is going to catch their opponent saying something that can be taken to make them sound like a moron. All of it, put together in a cocktail is not conducive to people getting very interested in politics. We have very serious problems in this country that require political attention and political solutions. The political system is often times aggravating the problems, not solving them. Our elections, our debates, and our press coverage of elections are doing very little to draw people effectively into participation in the governance of society. That's where we are today. It is a great crisis of our times.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">McChesney: The comparison is not so much that the rise of business journalism should be contrasted with the decline of other types of journalism, other hard journalism or better journalism. Rather, the way to look at business journalism is to compare it to labor journalism. Even in the U.S. with the commercial news media owned by private interests, what's striking is if you go back to the 1930s, '40s, and even into the '50s, we had pretty strong labor journalism, even on our mainstream newspapers. It was a standard position to have a labor editor at any respectable daily newspaper, and many times to have several staff writers that covered labor issues. By one count, there were several hundred full-time labor journalists working for daily newspapers in the 1940s and '50s. I don't have the exact data, but there were a lot. A major newspaper like the New York Times or even the Chicago Tribune, which was vociferously anti-labor, would have several reporters just covering labor issues. What happened between the 1960s and the '90s was that labor journalism was gradually eliminated from American journalism. It really doesn't exist anymore. I don't know when we had our last full-time labor journalist who covered labor issues or the labor movement. It was probably a good decade ago… there might be one straggler out there that I don't know about.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">So at the same time that labor journalism has collapsed, you see a meteoric rise in the amount of business journalism. What's striking about that business journalism is how lame it is! There is some good business journalism. The Wall Street Journal traditionally had some great reporters in its employ over the last 40 or 50 years. If you look at the heart of business journalism, all the crucial matters—corporate crime, the economic/financial bubbles—they have almost all completely missed it. They've been too busy genuflecting before heroic CEO's to really pause to see that they haven't done journalism. They've done hagiography, more often than not. Enron, for example, won something like Fortune magazine's best company in the world several years in a row before it collapsed, and its whole scandal and scam was exposed. In 2008, Queen Elizabeth of England reportedly called together the leading economists in Britain. She basically said, "hey economists. You guys are supposed to be so smart. How did you let us down and completely miss this crash? This is doing so much damage to our country." And anyone could have asked the same question to the business journalists of the U.S., who were also completely sucked in with the hot air that was filling us up about the great boom that was going on and missed all the clear signs of a forthcoming crash and ultimate depression.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">McChesney: I'll be honest with you. It's so depressing that I can't even read it or watch it anymore, basically. I find it appalling and depressing. There is so much here that is outrageous. First of all, it's outrageous that this is a story that has to wait for Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, and The Guardian newspaper when it has just been in plain sight, really, for years and years that this has been going on. There has been so much evidence. It was just sitting there for any self-respecting editor, producer, or reporter in this country to say, "this is an important story. I'm going to get out there." Yet our entire mainstream media was basically taking a nap with a few wonderful exceptions. One of those was Dana Priest of the Washington Post who did a fantastic series, three or four years ago, that turned into a book on the military-industrial complex—the national security complex. But again, those are the exceptions that prove the rule.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">It was striking that when the plane they thought Snowden was on landed in Moscow, they showed the Moscow airport, and there were three or four dozen journalists with cameras ready to cover it. Why weren't any of those people covering the actual spying that the NSA has been doing? I would say that the coverage is too small, and if I were a betting person, I'd say that Congress will do nothing as a result of this exercise—except lip service—and we'll go back to business as usual. I hope I'm wrong. I don't see any reason to think I am.

"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">McChesney: They were fantastic in the sense that they showed that people do care about these issues. They demonstrated how quickly people could mobilize online. They were effective at the time. That's the first lesson we can learn from those protests. But there were two unfortunate follow-up lessons that we should take to heart. One is that it was an inter-corporate squabble to a certain extent, too. We're dealing with a handful of companies that own copyright—the movie companies, the studios—that are pushing this. Then some of the other Internet companies that don't own those copyrights but use that material weren't as sympathetic to having such onerous standards. So they were not as willing to be on it. They were even going to oppose it. That was a crucial factor. If you have the entire corporate community on one side and no one else on the other, mass protest is not going to work. That's the way politics works in America—it's so corrupt. There is just issue after issue where you can see that the bulk of Americans are on one side, but all the money is on the other side. We almost always lose those debates. That's one lesson.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#00000A">JP: Your just-published book Dollarocracy: How the Money and Media Election Complex Is Destroying America notes widespread public opposition to the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling that political spending by corporations was a form of protected political speech. How important is this ruling in your view? How have you been involved in the fight against Citizens United?
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Of course, what we learn from 2012 and what John Nichols and I write about in Dollarocracy is that nothing of the kind has happened, and nothing of the kind will happen, because much of the money comes from anonymous sources. It's almost entirely unregulated. There's no accountability. So we're really in this wicked Wild West where billionaires and corporations can channel money so no one can trace it—huge amounts—to influence elections. It's an absolute outrage. Now if we had a credible Supreme Court that actually was serious about the rule of law, democracy, and fairness in the constitution, it would immediately reconvene and say, "OK, we made a huge mistake here. The assumptions we based our Citizens United ruling on clearly were wrong. We're going to throw it out now." But they won't, because this Supreme Court—this five vote majority: Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy—they're basically bagmen for what we call the "dollarcrats"—for the Koch brothers, for billionaires and corporations. For them, the whole mission is to advance the ability of the rich and powerful to control our politics, and minimize the chance that those without property can influence governance. They want to undermine "one person, one vote" and enhance "one dollar, one vote." Roberts was aiming at Citizens United from the day he took the bench. If you look at his career, that's what he wanted. It wasn't like "oh, gee whiz–didn't see this one coming." No. Not only did he see it coming; he intervened, and said he wanted to re– line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#00000A">JP: Dollarocracy questions our country''s at stake here?
You might ask, "How come Citizens United now (2010)? How come renouncing the Voting Rights Act so that states can more easily monkey with voter suppression? Why now?" I think this is the most important political point I would make, which is that America today is in a very interesting political space.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Then on the other side, we have a population that is eager and desirous of real debate and real solutions dealing with fundamental, intractable problems in this society that aren't being heard. It's a growing chasm between the corrupt system and the people of the country, and it can't last forever. The solution of the Koch brothers and the Roberts Supreme Court is just more of the same… put on the accelerator… give rich people more power, and limit the power of poor people even more. Give them their tough medicine and we'll grind through it like we're in some Dickensian era. I hope that they will be proven wrong. I don't think there is popular support for that approach. But that's really the political job we face—all of us today.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">McChesney: Journalism as we know it, news media, is what economists call a "public good." That means it is something society desperately needs, especially a democratic society. But the market, commercial interests, will not provide it in sufficient quality or quantity. That was understood at the beginning of this country and for the first hundred years of American history. We had massive postal and printing subsidies, which spawned a much more vibrant and extensive press system that wouldn't have existed had it only been left to market forces. It wasn't even considered plausible to just let market forces generate journalism, because they knew that would mean you would only have journalism for property owners and wealthy people, and that the Constitutional system wouldn't survive. The idea that journalism could be profitable, in a commercial undertaking left to the market, really emerged when advertising came to provide the vast majority of the revenues for journalism by the end of the 19th century and into the 20th century. That gave the impression that journalism was a commercially successful undertaking, and a lot of people did make a killing on journalism in the 20th century.
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#00000A">JP: You and John Nichols have pointed out that the origins of our diverse news media landscape lay in the abolitionist movement's struggle against slavery. What made the slavery debate different from other issues that also inflamed passions? What lessons if any should we take away from that history?
"Lohit Hindi";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">JP: Thank you very much for your time.

Brno - The Czech bill on foreigners´ health insurance is completely bad because it largely plays into the hands of commercial health insurance companies while it does not integrate foreigners in the system of public health insurance, Ombudsman Anna Sabatova said today.
She said the integration would help not only foreigners staying in the country, but also the state and health facilities that must pay the health care which commercial insurers do not cover.
The bill was rejected by the government over inconsistence with European law this week.
"The bill has so many shortcomings that it is incorrigible and it should not be passed. The integration of foreigners in the system of public health insurance has long been called for by the Government´s Human Rights Council and the control bodies of international human rights conventions and my predecessor also called for it," Sabatova said.
Foreigners must have insurance policies with a commercial health insurance company.
"Foreigners are a welcome prey for the insurance companies and the insurance is inappropriately expensive. In addition, the insurers refuse to insure certain diseases or the insurance is so expensive that people cannot afford it," Sabatova said.
She cited the early birth of a child as an example. "The parents leave the maternity clinic with debts amounting to hundreds of thousands of crowns which they have no chance of settling. This results in a burden for the health facilities which have to pay the health care," Sabatova said.
She said the foreigners are usually young people who work in the country, which means that their integration would benefit public health insurance companies and consequently the health care system as well.
The bill excludes foreigners doing business as self-employed persons in the Czech Republic and foreigners who have ended their employment and take sickness benefits or a family allowance from public health insurance.
CzechRep denies foreigners right to vote in local polls-ombudsman
Foreigners from EU states with a long-time residence permit in the Czech Republic have been denied the right to take part in local elections for many years which is at variance with European law, Ombudsman Anna Sabatova said today.
She said only those with a permanent residence, but not those with a temporary stay can vote, Sabatova said. She added that she alerted Interior Minister Milan Chovanec to this in a letter on Monday.
"Foreigners can only acquire a permanent residence permit after they stay for five years in the Czech Republic," Sabatova said.
That is why she asked Chovanec to amend the relevant law. "Foreigners´ fundamental right is not ensured in this country," Sabatova said.
She said this also concerns the foreigners´ eligibility and the right to be members of political parties.
Sabatova said she is convinced that the Interior Ministry knows about the problem, but is inactive.
She said foreigners could vote in this autumn´s local elections already. "Primary European law can be applied directly in this case, that is before the legislative procedure of changing laws is completed," Sabatova said.
Foreigners from EU countries could already vote in the spring European Parliament elections thanks to the relevant legislation.
Sabatova said 160,000 foreigners are registered in the Czech Republic. Some 85,000 of them are Slovaks. A part of them have acquired a permanent residence permit.
"We estimate that dozens of thousands of people cannot vote. They naturally concentrate in large towns," Sabatova said.
She said their votes could mainly influence the composition of assemblies in Prague and Brno, the two largest cities in the country.

This almost has to be a joke.
In lieu of a "war tax" to pay for a troop increase in Afghanistan, Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson (NE) is proposing war bonds.
"We didn't have a war tax in the second World War," Nelson said, and instead the government sold Americans bonds."People invested in their country, in that fashion [and] made a lot of sense back then. I don't know why it might not make sense today, certainly in lieu of jumping to tax."
First of all, taxes did rise during the second World War. Also, the top tax rate back then was already at 94% for the bracket over $200,000 ($2.5 million in today's dollars).
Second of all, whether you're borrowing from China or from Americans, you're, um, still BORROWING. War bonds are just bonds, borrowed funds that have to be paid back with interest. The point of a war tax is to finance an escalation up front, instead of paying more in the long run and hiding the true cost.
The entire "war surtax" debate has shown the complete hypocrisy of the Washington establishment. They spend untold hours of speechifying and all kinds of printer's ink bemoaning the budget deficit and how we're putting unsustainable costs onto our children and grandchildren. When one Congressman calls their bluff – when he merely asks that Americans share the sacrifice of the troops and cover the costs of one war for one year – 6% of total war costs – the same fiscal scolds demur, if they speak at all – most of them haven't said a damn word about this, being too busy screaming about how providing meager benefits in Social Security will bankrupt the nation.
In fact, even the Congressman who offered the bill, David Obey, is seemingly admitting that it's not a serious effort and was simply done to "send a message." If the message is that members of Congress think spending that helps people at home is dangerous and wrong, but any spending that projects hegemonic power abroad is magical and just, then message received. I mean, we're begging for a piddling amount of infrastructure spending to put America back to work while we construct all kinds of public works projects in colonial outposts.
Incidentally, the White House isn't even pretending that they'll keep the war on budget – they expect a supplemental funding bill in the spring. And remember, the "budget" for troops in Afghanistan doesn't even count all the shadow army money for contractors.
It would be hard for me to respond to any of these guardians of fiscal rectitude without laughing in their face.

PATIENTS undergoing body scans cannot usually communicate with the outside world because metal parts in microphones distort the electromagnetic field generated by the scanner. But a new microphone that uses light rather than electricity to sense sound waves could overcome the problem, allowing patients to talk to the radiographer while the scan is taking place.
"You can't have any metal in the scanner as the strong field would be perturbed by it," says Wolfgang Niehoff, research director for the German audio company Sennheiser. Niehoff's answer to the problem is a microphone made entirely of glass and plastic. An LED sends light down a glass optical fibre, which guides it onto a polymer membrane that acts as the microphone's diaphragm. Light reflected from this membrane enters a second optical fibre.
Sound waves striking the membrane cause variations in the intensity of the light reaching the second fibre. This light passes to ...

Mali Islamists Seize Key Town of Konna
Posted By Jason Ditz On January 10, 2013 @ 5:47 pm In News | Comments Disabled
The Islamist rebels in control of the northern two-thirds of Mali have made their first significant territorial gains in months, capturing the strategically important town of Konna along their mutual frontier.
The loss of Konna brings rebel forces for the first time into Mali's southern region, with fighters promising to move against the city of Mopti, immediately south of Konna, which would effectively give them a straight shot at the capital city.
USAID announced that it is withdrawing from Mopti in anticipation of an attack, and residents of the city are fleeing in panic, with Western ambitions for an offensive to reclaim the north for the southern junta looking in serious doubt.
UN officials say that the situation could force an "emergency decision" by the international community, which is desperate to see the junta reinstalled. Whether the junta can even survive the new offensives is in serious doubt, however.
