Mining Publication: NIOSH-Sponsored Research in Through-the-Earth Communications for Mines: A Status Report
Original creation date: September 2012
This paper presents the results of recent contractual research sponsored by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health that aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of through-the-earth (TTE) wireless communication in mining. TTE systems, developed by five different contractors, are discussed with a focus on technical approach, prototype hardware, and field test results. System features include both magnetic and electric field sensing, loop and line antennas, digital and analog processing, noise filtering and cancelation, and direction finding. The systems were demonstrated at commercial mine sites. The results of these tests are characterized by transmission range and power levels. This paper concludes with a discussion of issues that remain to be resolved as TTE communications are implemented. These include text versus voice format, acceptable time delays, portability, ease of deployment, an interface with existing communications systems, permissibility, and the effect of geological variations.

Re: In the underwriti
ng wait!
Oh and to answer your question with regards to bank accounts, we too are in the same predicament. We've had to use our credit cards a couple of times since we needed to have at least 2-3 months of mortgage payment to show at closing, so our funidng has been a little tight to say the least. However, since this has been dragginout far more than expected, we now needed to dip our hands into that money since we had to pay our final rent on top of a penalty that we were unable to get out of since we are breaking our lease. Let me just say our rent is far more higher than what we'll be paying for mortgage so that really took a chunck out of our savings.
Furthermore, the other concern we have is that our Credit Report will expire end of next month. It was pulled in early May. The way things have been going with our file not reaching USDA, and their turn-around time not being "rapid" enough, we fear our last credit pull will expire and they will need to pull another one. Just so happens I had an old medical bill I have been paying monthly on, but the hospital decided to send it to collections! I lost 10 points because of that and now I am below the requirement for USDA. THAT right there as me really shaking in my boots!!!!
Our LO KNOWS where we stand but sometimes acts as if these things are not a big deal!! I just don't get it! We pay our debts, we work hard, we demonstrate how responsible we have been with our landlord, we have excellent income and it still is not enough for the lenders!! They have us jumping through hoops and sometimes end up blowing a bomb on us by not approving the application!! I just hope this gets done and gets done properly!!!!

DALLAS - APRIL 15: Jannik Hansen #36 of the Vancouver Canucks works the puck in front of the Dallas Stars bench during the first overtime period of game three of the 2007 NHL Western Conference Quarterfinals at American Airlines Center on April 15, 2007 in Dallas, Texas. The Canucks defeated the Stars 2-1 in the first overtime. (Photo by Layne Murdoch/Getty Images)
The Chicago Blackhawks - Vancouver Canucks rivalry intensified on Feb. 19th thanks to a controversial hit from Jannik Hansen to the back of Marian Hossa' head. The play, seen below, featured both men trying to grab a puck out of the air, only to have Hansen's elbow collide violently into Hossa's head. Was the elbow from Hansen intentional? Should the NHL hand out a suspension or a fine for the incident? Perhaps most importantly, will this blow to the head sideline Hossa? Just when you thought the Chicago - Vancouver rivalry had enough talking points, another major debate begins thanks to yet another controversial hit. Let's examine the play as best we can. Both men are reaching for the puck. As Hansen extends his arm forward, his elbow swings out, a bit late, catching Hossa squarely in the noodle. As you might imagine, Chicago fans cried foul and Vancouver fans claimed it was just an accident. It's almost impossible to judge intent in a situation like this. The play h...

Three novels exploring the complexity and resilience of the human spirit make great picks for reading groups this month.
True stories are often the most inspiring. These four exciting picture book biographies focus on real-life teachers, leaders and innovators and their remarkable roads to success. Their stories are sure to leave permanent, positive impressions on young readers. Don't give up on that dream!
Budding young naturalists will learn from—and love—Winter Is Coming by Tony Johnston. A quietly powerful picture book that explores the changing of the seasons and life in the woods, it's also a story about the rewards that come from taking time to look closely at the world. The narrator is a resourceful young girl who visits her tree house each day, watching in solitude as the forest around her transitions from fall to winter. Armed with binoculars, sketchbook and pencils, she spies on animals as they hunt for food and prepare for the snowy season to come.
Three acclaimed novels focused on history and family dynamics are sure to spark discussion in your reading groups this month.
Ah, the metric system—the logical way of meting out the world that confounds most Americans. Readers who have failed to crack its code will find comfort in John Bemelmans Marciano's Whatever Happened to the Metric System? How America Kept Its Feet, an intriguing look at why the system failed to take hold here.
Putting a playful spin on school, these picture books depict life in the classroom as a grand adventure, filled with good friends, fun activities and teachers that are wise beyond words.
Three of the most highly anticipated novels from 2013 are now available in paperback, and they're sure to spark discussion in your reading group.
For many parents, getting the little ones to consent to sleep is a contest of wills requiring the skills of a diplomat. Fortunately, a terrific new picture book has arrived that can help families keep the peace. Sleep Tight, Anna Banana!, by mother-and-son team Dominique Roques and Alexis Dormal, shows that bedtime can be a blast, especially when the company includes a group of irresistible critters intent on making mischief.
The challenge of finding an appropriately awesome present for Father's Day can get more difficult with each passing year. A tie? Too tedious. Cologne? Cliché! This month, skip the tired traditions and surprise Pop with one of these newly released books.
Consider one of these novels—now out in paperback—for your book club's next read.

Dove Family Launches Newest DPRK-Friendly Rating
Anyohaseyo! Currently, North Korea's internet is down and Sony is scrambling in the dark to quickly release "The Interview" on Christmas Day in 200 Theaters and counting. And while those theaters may be amply supplied in Sour Patch Kids for the typical Rogen-Franco fan, it may want to also consider stocking up on Pringles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Croutons and Olive Garden Breadsticks. Just a suggestion. Anyway, as the plot thickens between North Korean Hackers and Sony, the ramifications of the feud continue to ripple throughout Hollywood. Understandably, Christian Filmmakers - being a good 10 years behind - will not feel the full force of ...

Economic Statistics for 30 Apr 15
Personal income was unchanged in March, while personal spending rose 0.4%. The PCE Price index rose 0.2% overall and 0.1% at the core. On a year-over-year basis, income is up 3.8% while spending is up 3.0%. The PCE Price Index is up 0.3% overall, but up 1.4% when food and energy is excluded, the so-called core rate.
The Employment Cost Index rose 0.7% in the 1st Quarter of 2015. On a year-ago basis, employment costs have risen 2.6%.
The Chicago Purchasing Manager's Index jumped from 46.3 to 52.3 in April. It's worth noting, though, that this is a volatile index.
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index declined for the 3rd straight week, from 45.2 to 44.7 in the latest week.
Initial weekly jobless claims fell 34,000 to 262,000. The 4-week average fell 1,250 to 283,750. Continuing claims fell 74,000 to 2.253 million. This weeks number of claims was the lowest since April of 2000.
The Fed's balance sheet fell $-18.2 billion last week, with total assets of $4.472 trillion. Reserve bank credit fell $-3.2 billion.
The Fed reports that M2 money supply fell by $-1.9 billion in the latest week.
All around the cobbler's bench …
The monkey and weasel are disgusted.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is denying it, but a senior law enforcement source has told Fox Newsthat she gave an order for police to stand down as riots broke out Monday night.
"The source, who is involved in the enforcement efforts, confirmed to Fox News there was a direct order from the mayor to her police chief Monday night, effectively tying the hands of officers as they were pelted with rocks and bottles.
Asked directly if the mayor was the one who gave that order, the source said: "You are G*d damn right it was.""
This claim follows Rawlings-Blake's comments on Sunday, when she said they were giving space to those who "wished to destroy." On Monday, she tried (unsuccessfully) to walk that comment back.
Happy, happy … just let 'em do a little looting and trashing and all will be well. Oh, and let's redefine a few things shall we?
The mayor, in an interview with Fox News' Bill Hemmer on Tuesday, denied any order was issued to hold back on Monday.
"You have to understand, it is not holding back. It is responding appropriately," she said, saying there was no stand-down directive.
Responding appropriately? I wonder how "appropriately" she'd have responded had it been, say, her house or business they were looting and trashing. Absolutely no respect for private property. None. And nonsense excuse making to boot.
Yes, the dirty little secret that no one wants to admit is that Baltimore, and so many other urban areas and inner city communities in America are a reflection of the abject failure of liberal progressive socialist policies as advanced by the Democrat party.
The preeminent question is whether or not those in Baltimore and other places will recognize who is truly responsible for their plight. Or will they continue to be manipulated and propagandized by the liberal progressive media and the poverty pimps like the one supposedly heading down from New York City.
Most of us can answer that question – "they continue to be manipulated and propagandized by the liberal progressive media and the poverty pimps like the one supposedly heading down from New York City." Oh, and the Republicans. Just watch 2016. The "plantation" has a huge hold.
Next question.
Apparently Ben Affleck is mortified by his ancestors:
This brings the total number of Affleck's known slaveholding ancestors to 14, and the number of slaves either owned or "held" as a trustee or on behalf of an estate by these ancestors to 242.
It seems that this was discovered while doing a PBS program and Affleck asked they be, uh, unmentioned. You see, he is ashamed of them.
Okay, I can understand that … however, why hide it? Why not say, hey they were wrong, what they did was wrong and I certainly don't support what they did. Seems to me that would be much more powerful than trying to hide the past. And, to quote Hillary Clinton – "what difference does it make"?!
Oh, liberal credentials of course. And white guilt. Dude has to hand in the credentials and burn with white guilt. Pity.
Anyone wonder what Ben would have done if he'd been born during that era to one of his slaveholding ancestors? Yeah, I think Ben wonders that as well. Heh.
If you need another example of "crony capitalism" (and I put that in quotes because this is no more capitalism than lead is gold), it is playing out with the FDA and a couple of Senators … oh, and their corporate cronies:
People who are trying to do good for their families and the planet by living a simple life based on traditional skills are facing yet another assault. Artisanal soap makers say new regulations, proposed by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California) and Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine), will put them out of business. Many soap makers are rural "kitchen table" operations that rely on the income to fund their simple living lifestyle. Some use milk from goats they raise and ingredients they harvest from the land.
The form includes a statement on behalf of handmade body care product makers that says, in part: "My products comply with FDA labeling requirements and the ingredients are commonly known (i.e, olive oil, oatmeal, sugar, coconut oil, etc). My best customers are in my community. I cannot afford the user fees proposed in S. 1014. Further, my business has no capacity to do the reporting requirements for each product batch (10-50 units) as it could be several hundred FDA filings per month." Those who sell online will also be affected.*
The view of Sen. Feinstein and her corporate backers (listed below) is that the Personal Care Products Safety Act (Senate Bill S.1014) will make the world a safer place by scrutinizing "everything from shampoo and hair dye to deodorant and lotion." She introduced the amendment to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, because of troubling negative health effects from chemicals used in personal care products. She says the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act should be more progressive like laws in Europe rather than antiquated US regulations in effect since the 1930s.
Yes, friends, having solved all the important problems of the world, our Senatorial nannies are going to back their corporate sponsors and attempt to regulate out of business this incredible threat to the American public. And who are their Corporate sponsors?
Companies and brands that support the bill:Johnson & Johnson, brands include Neutrogena, Aveeno, Clean & Clear, Lubriderm, Johnson's baby products.Procter & Gamble, including Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Clairol, Herbal Essences, Secret, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Ivory, CoverGirl, Olay, Sebastian Professional, Vidal Sassoon.Revlon, brands include Revlon, Almay, MitchumEsteee Lauder, brands include Esteee Lauder, Clinique, Origins, Tommy Hilfiger, MAC, La Mer, Bobbi Brown, Donna Karan, Aveda, Michael Kors.Unilever, brands include Dove, Tresemme, Lever, St. Ives, Noxzema, Nexxus, Pond's, Suave, Sunsilk, Vaseline, Degree.L'Oreeal, brands include L'Oreeal Paris, Lancome, Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Kiehl's, Essie, Garnier, Maybelline-New York, Vichy, La Roche-Posay, The Body Shop, Redken.
Feinstein says her proposal is a "streamlined national system of oversight" and it won't cost the taxpayer anything because it's funded by industry user fees (until they pass the extra cost to the consumer, that is). Big multinational soap makers may be able to manage the increased fees and paperwork called for by Senate Bill S.1014 but the the Handmade Cosmetic Alliance says they will cripple their cottage industries. They tried to explain this to Feinstein without success.
Economic Statistics for 29 Apr 15
The initial GDP estimate for the 1st Quarter of 2015 was for 0.2% annualized growth, down from an unrevised 2.2% in the 4th Quarter of 2014. The GDP Price index fell -0.1% for the quarter. Exports were a drag on GDP as a strong dollar is inhibiting foreign demand. Business spending (nonresidential fixed investment) contracted in the quarter, while personal spending (personal consumption expenditures) slowed abruptly. Lower demand also caused an unwanted upswing in inventories.
The National Association of Realtors' Pending Home Sales Index rose 1.1% in March to 108.6.
The MBA reports that mortgage applications fell -2.3% last week, with purchases unchanged, but refis down -4.0%.
The Federal Open Markets Committee left interest rates unchanged today, with a Fed Funds target rate of 0%-0.25%. The FOMC's statement says growth has "slowed" since the committee last met in March, but view the slowing as temporary, saying that economic activity will expand at a "moderate" pace.
Why Baltimore?
See Detroit:
Detroit is what Democrats do. The last Republican elected mayor of Detroit took office during the Eisenhower administration. The decay of Detroit is not the inevitable outcome of the decline of the automotive industry: The automotive industry is thriving in the United States — but not in Detroit. It isn't white flight: The black middle class has left Detroit as fast as it can. The model of Detroit politics is startlingly familiar in its fundamentals, distinguished only by its degree of advancement: Advance the interests of public-sector unions and politically connected business cronies, expand the relative size of the public sector remorselessly — and when opposed, cry "Racism!" When people vote with their feet, cry "Racism!" When the budget just won't balance, cry "Racism!" Never mind that the current mayor of Detroit is the first non–African American to hold that job since the 1970s, or that, as one Detroit News columnist put it, "black nationalism . . . is now the dominant ideology of the [city] council" — somewhere, there must be a somebody else to blame, preferably: aged, portly, white, male, and Republican. No less a fool than Ed Schultz blamed the straits of this exemplar of Democratic single-party rule on "a lot of Republican policies." Melissa Harris-Perry, "America's leading public intellectual," blames Detroit's problems on its conservatism and small government, oblivious to the fact that Detroit maintains twice as many city employees per resident as do larger cities such as Fort Worth and Indianapolis, and three times as many as liberal San Jose.
Then, just look at the blue model elsewhere and its track record:
St. Louis has not had a Republican mayor since the 1940s, and in its most recent elections for the board of aldermen there was no Republican in the majority of the contests; the city is overwhelmingly Democratic, effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department. Baltimore has seen two Republicans sit in the mayor's office since the 1920s — and none since the 1960s. Like St. Louis, it is effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department. Philadelphia has not elected a Republican mayor since 1948. The last Republican to be elected mayor of Detroit was congratulated on his victory by President Eisenhower. Atlanta, a city so corrupt that its public schools are organized as a criminal conspiracy against its children, last had a Republican mayor in the 19th century. Its municipal elections are officially nonpartisan, but the last Republican to run in Atlanta's 13th congressional district did not manage to secure even 30 percent of the vote; Atlanta is effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department.
But our blamer-in-chief and responsibility dodger par excellence prefers to have you believe that the problem is this particular Congress which happens to be Republican.
Of course, obviously the problems in Baltimore aren't a recent event, as something that has developed within the last 2 years:
This did not come out of nowhere. While the progressives have been running the show in Baltimore, police commissioner Ed Norris was sent to prison on corruption charges (2004), two detectives were sentenced to 454 years in prison for dealing drugs (2005), an officer was dismissed after being videotaped verbally abusing a 14-year-old and then failing to file a report on his use of force against the same teenager (2011), an officer was been fired for sexually abusing a minor (2014), and the city paid a quarter-million-dollar settlement to a man police illegally arrested for the non-crime of recording them at work with his mobile phone. There's a good deal more. Does that sound like a disciplined police organization to you?
Then there's this from a reporter who has lived in Baltimore for 30 years:
Baltimore is not Ferguson and its primary problems are not racial. The mayor, city council president, police chief, top prosecutor, and many other city leaders are black, as is half of Baltimore's 3,000-person police force. The city has many prominent black churches and a line of black civic leadership extending back to Frederick Douglass.
Yet, the gaping disparities separating the haves and the have nots in Baltimore are as large as they are anywhere. And, as the boys on the street will tell you, black cops can be hell on them, too.
Well, then … if it isn't "racism" (Al Sharpton, you can stay home) and it isn't the GOP, what could it possibly be?
Let's try a little deductive reasoning. What's left?
Economic Statistics for 28 Apr 15
Redbook reports that last week's retail sales rose to a still-soft 1.4% on a year-ago basis, from the previous week's 0.8%.
The S&P/Case-Shiller home price index rose 0.9% in February, and is up 5.0% from a year ago.
The Conference Board's consumer confidence index fell from 101.3 to a much lower than expected 95.2 in April.
The Richmond Fed manufacturing index rose 5 points to a still-negative -3 in April.
The State Street Investor Confidence Index fell -5.2 points in April, but remains strong at 114.3.
Approaching the cliff or already over it?
Reading over at PJ Media I ran across this by Robert Wargas:
As Baltimore burned, the rest of us tweeted.
The riots followed a weekend in which GoFundMe shut down a fundraising page for a Christian-owned bakery that was hit with a huge fine for refusing to serve a gay wedding. GoFundMe has said its policy precludes raising money "in defense of formal charges of heinous crimes, including violent, hateful, or sexual acts." The key word here is "hateful": if you can expand or contract that word at will—which many people in this country can and do—you can accomplish anything.
Every week this country is consumed in a new distended orgy of polarized, mutual hatred, set against the backdrop of outrage mobs, race riots, shuttered businesses, scandals, Twitter-induced career ruination, gleeful smear parties, and partisan hackery.
Admit it: You've asked yourself where America is going, and how long it can survive the trip. Admit it.
I admit it. In fact, we've been talking about it for years here. The fact that it is accelerating comes as no real surprise here. Nor does it come as a surprise that we have the "leadership", or lack thereof, in Washington DC from which we currently suffer.
In fact, Wargas points out something that Ace at Ace of Spades was wondering the other day:
[T]he New Normal has prompted Ace of Spades to ask: "Is it time to formally separate America into two or more sovereign nations?"
"No one actually seems happy in this national marriage," writes Ace. That is sadly true.
Indeed it is. And it seems, at least to the side that loves liberty, that the anti-liberty faction in winning.
Of course, our own Dale Franks has been suggesting this may happen for years. It sort of puts you in the same shoes as generations of Christians who've looked at what was happening all around them and asked "are we in the "end times" as foretold in the Bible?"
Are we at the edge of seeing this 200 plus year experiment go careening off a cliff?
Who knows? In my experience, something like this has to get a lot worse than it is for that to happen. And we have to remember that we're bombarded daily with, well, what bleeds leads.
Certainly though, bombardment or not, it is clear that we're not "doing better" as a country in just about any category you can point too.
The question is, as in our last civil war, are there irreconcilable differences? There certainly were then and it appears there are now. How does one paper over such differences when neither side seems willing to give?
I'm not so sure "getting better" is possible anymore, or at least not possible before some major rupture once again makes it possible. I hope I'm wrong. I hope I look back at this post in 2020 and laugh at myself. But who honestly thinks they'll be laughing in 2020?
I'm not so sure either. However, here's a little bit of a test to see if there's even a chance. From Elizabeth Price Foley over at Insty's:
LORETTA LYNCH'S FIRST TEST: She's sending two DOJ officials to Baltimore to meet with community leaders. That's good. But the real question is: What will they do and say, once they arrive? Will they mimic Erick Holder's DOJ, and prioritize lectures about white privilege and racism? Or will they provide a voice of calm and reason, and unequivocally condemn the random violence?
Lynch has a chance to break with the embarrassingly biased Holder past and start rebuilding trust in DOJ as a department interested in actual justice (for all). Will she take it?
Bets anyone?
Economic Statistics for 27 Apr 15
Can Hillary weather this latest scandal?
I got a bit of a kick out of a John Fund article that asserted that Hillary's Democratic backers were getting panicky about Hillary Clinton's chances amid the current scandals.
Here's where I got a bit of a laugh:
Democrats privately believe that the Clintons can recover from the e-mail and foundation scandals because it's unlikely reporters will ever find a "smoking gun" that explicitly links foreign donations with public actions. But Democrats also know that other scandals may soon be unearthed. And if they do, not only will Hillary Clinton prove unable to establish herself as an "authentic" candidate, she also will establish herself as a pro at conducting an "authentic" cover-up.
Seriously? One more scandal? A few more scandals?
What IS the magic number? Please tell us.
Bill Clinton's speaking fees go up and his speeches just happen to be in countries where the Secretary of State – that'd be Hillary Clinton – can help them get what they want. The foundation they both are a part of spends 10 to 15% of 500 million dollars on the charities it supposedly is fundraising for. The woman's emails when she was Secretary of State are gone – well, except those she chose to have us see. And her emails about the foundation?
Private and on the same server that she willfully set up in contravention of a well known rule that required her to do her official business on her official email address.
But, you know, there's no "smoking gun".
Yeah, if you're a crack addict with the IQ of a turnip.
These are the Clinton's though, and there seems to be no end to the number of times this criminal gang is let off the hook. Laws, you see, are for the little people.
Observations: The QandO Podcast for 24 Apr 15
This week, we discuss the nation's premier uranium salesperson. It's up on the Podcast page.
More stray voltage
Has anyone been following this "raisin taking" case before SCOTUS? It has to do with the government literally taking a portion of a producers crop because they want to keep prices artificially high:
The forced transfer is part of a 1937 program that requires farmers to turn over a large portion of their raisin crop to the government so as to artificially reduce the amount of raisins on the market, and thereby increase the price. Essentially, the scheme is a government-enforced cartel under which producers restrict production so as to inflate prices.
And, of course, you know who loses – consumers. And producers. But note the program's birthdate – yup, a New Deal bit of nonsense that should have long been trashed. Given how the oral arguments went yesterday before the SCOTUS, it may soon see the dumpster. The government first tried to argue that it really wasn't a "taking". That didn't go well. So:
[Deputy Solicitor General Edwin] Kneedler put most of his emphasis on the argument that there is no taking because the Hornes and other raisin farmers actually benefit from the program that confiscates their raisins. In the words of Justice Antonin Scalia, the government's argument here is that the Hornes are actually "ingrates" who should be grateful for the government's largesse. As several justices emphasized, even if the Hornes really do benefit from the confiscation of their property, that does not change the reality that a taking has occurred. The fact that property owners benefit in some way from the taking of their property may affect the level of compensation they are owed. But it does not change the reality that a taking has occurred in the first place. Justice Samuel Alito noted that the government's logic leads to the conclusion that there is no taking in any situation where the government seizes personal property for purposes that might potentially benefit the owners in some way.
The most important argument, and the one usually overlooked or ignored, is as follows:
If private firms tried to establish a similar program on their own, the government would bust them for a blatant violation of antitrust law.
So why is our government doing it?
The Advice Goddess (Amy Alkon) takes on "trigger warnings" and does a very credible job explaining why they and those who would impose them should be ignored:
I've thought this for a while. They are yet another way for people who have done nothing noteworthy to get attention and have unearned power over others.
In fact, she entitles her piece "Trigger Warnings: A Form of Covert Narcissism." She also quotes a Kent State professor who "gets it":
Kent University's professor of sociology Frank Furedi claims that calls for trigger warnings are a form of "narcissism," with a student's desire to assert their own importance acting as more of a factor than the content they are exposed to.
In other words, it's a form of avoidance they can lay on the person who "triggers" them.
This brings me to my favorite line in the Alkon trigger warning piece:
And as I've noted before: If you are so emotionally traumatized by the normal college curriculum, you do belong in an institution, but not one of "higher learning."
The Climate Change Nazis are just not happy with "liberal democracy" because, you know, it depends on the will of the people instead of the will of the all knowing elite. Some selected passages from a piece by Mark Triffitt (Lecturer, Public Policy at University of Melbourne), and Travers McLeod, Honorary Fellow in the School of Social and Political Sciences at University of Melbourne:
… Specifically, the failure to tackle climate change speaks to an overall failure of our liberal democratic system…
… Successfully tackling climate change and other big policy challenges depends on making tangible the intangible crisis of liberal democracy.
It means understanding that liberal democracy's governance machinery – and the static, siloed policy responses generated by such democracies – is no longer fit for purpose.
So, solution? (I bet you can guess):
[D]emocratic powers should be transferred to unelected bureaucrats, who would still somehow be "accountable" to parliament, despite having "staying power" beyond individual political cycles.
Or in their own words:
Granting more decision-making power to institutions independent of the government of the day, but still accountable to parliaments (such as the Parliamentary Budget Office or Infrastructure Australia). This would increase the capacity of policy planning and decision processes to have staying power beyond individual political cycles.
Yes, because when the party in power is the same party that wants whatever the bureaucracy wants, oversight is so exceptional and wonderful and our freedoms are protected to the nth degree – not! There are closet despots everywhere, and especially among the climate alarmist crowd.
And finally there is the Hill/Billy update, this one concerning a uranium deal with the Russians:
The latest installment in the ongoing saga of shady Clinton Foundation finances is a story involving a deal in which Russians took take greater control of a major U.S. uranium company, Uranium One.
The details are somewhat involved, but the gist is that because the takeover deal involved uranium, a strategic asset, it required approval from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Around the same time the deal was going through, the Clinton Foundation took millions of dollars in donations from a foundation run by the founder of Uranium One and did not disclose the transaction, in defiance of an arrangement made with the Obama administration to identify Clinton Foundation donors. In addition, Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 by a Russian financial firm linked to the Kremlin for a speech in Moscow as the deal was happening. The New York Times has an extensive report, building on work from Peter Schweizer's book about the Clinton Foundation's foreign funding, Clinton Cash, here.
The questions raised by the story are obvious: Did the millions in donations to the Clinton Foundation, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars paid to Bill Clinton for his speech, have any influence on Clinton's decision as Secretary of State to approve the project?
Seriously? You have to ask that question?
The reaction to the story from team Clinton, meanwhile, does not exactly inspire confidence that the Clintons have been entirely transparent about what transpired.
For example, Fox News reporters, also drawing from Schweizer's book, dug into various aspects of the story, and found evidence that officials from Kazakhstan's state-owned energy company Kazatomprom visited with Bill Clinton at his home in New York to inquire about a possible deal with Westinghouse, which is also involved in the nuclear energy business. When contacted about the meeting by Fox News, a Clinton Foundation spokesperson denied that the meeting had ever happened. But when Fox News produced photos of the meeting, the Clinton spokesperson changed the story and said that it had happened.
In short, Clinton's spokesperson flatly lied about a meeting Bill Clinton had with foreign officials, and admitted the truth only when presented with evidence to the contrary.
"Flatly lied". Or as most would put it, "business as usual".

As many readers of my Blog probably know I am a massive tearoom fan and so is fellow food luvver, Rachel Wheeler who suggested we do a quick run down of some our favourite tearooms/cafes from around the UK. These are in no particular order and we insist you totally stuff your face with cake while reading them.
I have seen this attitude before to allergies, that it is up to the allergic person to sort out what they eat, not for the restaurants to provide the information. That's fair enough in theory, but if the information isn't there for staff, and the person with an allergy asks about a particular dish, how is that member of staff supposed to answer?
So I popped to the Dorchester Grill for dinner, what with the place having had a pimping spruce-up. Having left the world of plump cushions behind me - the hotel hall is awash with them - I entered a lush cloud of gold and orange. The room is ornate. Of course it's ornate. The very word could have been invented for it.
So as each and every one of you will know, this month has been Veganuary - a 31 day long promise to the birds and bees and cows and pigs and sheep and prawns and former racehorses that for the duration of January 2015 I will comply with a more compassionate lifestyle that diminishes their need to suffer.
The London restaurant scene is on fire at the moment, and without doubt one of the best places in the world for the quality of its restaurants. 2015 looks set to continue this trend if these restaurants are anything to go by. Read on for my top picks of the best new restaurants opening in London in 2015.
I thought the sauce looked suspiciously glutenous so I asked him to check again with the chef. He returned and asked, "How allergic ARE you?" I looked at him and declared, a little poker faced white lie, "I will start vomiting profusely in the middle of your restaurant" at which point he admitted, "Yes, it's got flour in it". Sometimes you have to push to get the answers you need.

The Rangers dominated again in the second game, scoring nine runs in the second inning. Sarah Siblowitz collected four hits, while Felitia Buss and Bre Stanley both went 3-for-3.
"They are having really quality at bats and hitting the ball hard," said OC coach Jessica Cabato, whose team swept Skagit Valley on Tuesday.

The tribute episode drew in 7.9 million viewers.TVLine Taylor Swift: I've yet to find my 'great love'.
They instead announced a tribute to the two fallen officers.
And, hey, the transtastic number was good practice for the Rocky Horror tribute episode, airing October 26.
mid-14c., "tax paid to a ruler or master for security or protection," from Latin tributum "tribute," literally "a thing contributed or paid," noun use of tributus, neuter past participle of tribuere "to pay, assign, grant," also "allot among the tribes or to a tribe," from tribus (see tribe). Sense of "offering, gift, token" is first recorded 1580s.
a tax imposed by a king on his subjects (2 Sam. 20:24; 1 Kings 4:6; Rom. 13:6). In Matt. 17:24-27 the word denotes the temple rate (the "didrachma," the "half-shekel," as rendered by the R.V.) which was required to be paid for the support of the temple by every Jew above twenty years of age (Ex. 30:12; 2 Kings 12:4; 2 Chr. 24:6, 9). It was not a civil but a religious tax. In Matt. 22:17, Mark 12:14, Luke 20:22, the word may be interpreted as denoting the capitation tax which the Romans imposed on the Jewish people. It may, however, be legitimately regarded as denoting any tax whatever imposed by a foreign power on the people of Israel. The "tribute money" shown to our Lord (Matt. 22:19) was the denarius, bearing Caesar's superscription. It was the tax paid by every Jew to the Romans. (See PENNY.)

This press release is available in French.
The human brain loses 5 to 10% of its weight between the ages of 20 and 90 years old. While some cells are lost, the brain is equipped with two compensatory mechanisms: plasticity and redundancy. Based on the results of her most recent clinical study published today in the online version of Brain: A Journal of Neurology, Dr. Sylvie Belleville, PhD in neuropsychology, the principal author of this study and Director of Research at the Institut universitaire de griatrie de Montral (IUGM), which is affiliated with the Universit de Montral, has found that for elderly subjects at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, hope may lie in brain plasticity.
"Brain plasticity refers to the brain's remarkable ability to change and reorganize itself. It was long thought that brain plasticity declined with age, however, our study demonstrates that this is not the case, even in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease", declares Sylvie Belleville.
These findings open countless new avenues of research including the possibility of improving the plasticity of affected areas of the brain, and slowing the decline in plasticity through pharmacological means or lifestyle changes, thereby allowing subjects with Alzheimer's disease to enjoy several more symptom-free years.
The hypothesis behind this research was that certain cells traditionally involved in other brain processes could, through a simple memory training program, temporarily take over since they themselves are not yet affected. According to Dr. Belleville: "Our research has validated our hypothesis. Not only were we able to use functional imaging to observe this diversification, but we also noted a 33% increase in the number of correct answers given during a post-training memory task by subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who, incidentally

This recipe uses grilled Halloumi cheese as a protein, which is grilled and topped with zaatar. It is served over lightly steamed dandelion greens.
1 bunch dandelion greens
Olive oil
Lemon juice
Halloumi cheese, slice into thin rounds or blocks (depending on the form in which it comes)
2 tablespoons dry zaatar mixed in some olive oil
Rinse the dandelion greens well of their grit, and roughly chop. Steam in a steamer or saute in some olive oil. Toss with lemon juice, and if steamed, drizzle over some olive oil.
Meanwhile, grill the Halloumi cheese in a grill pan or on a barbecue until warm and soft, about 3 minutes on each side.
Serve the Halloumi over the greens and drizzle over with the zaatar.
Serves 1-2 people as a light lunch or dinner.

Greetings to my beautiful, intelligent, marvelous, breathtakingly splendid family and friends!
I would love to invite you all to participate in my EPIC BIRTHDAY MISSION! For my 25th birthday, which will be on September 26, I want to raise money to give 15 people a fundamental right--clean drinking water for life!
~ For your participation, I can offer you a myriad of mind-blowing benefits. ~
1) You won't need to come up with some obscure birthday present for me. I will EVEN make you exempt from wishing me "Happy Birthday" on Facebook!
2) You will buy yourself happiness! This is no gimmick, either. This is objective, peer-reviewed Truth. See this TED talk for more details: http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_norton_how_to_buy_happiness.html
3) MOST IMPORTANTLY: Every penny of your money will directly fund clean water projects in India!
Lack of sanitation. Nearly 65% of all open defecation in the world occurs in South Asia. The widespread lack of sanitation can lead to contaminated water, illness and disease.
Gender inequality. Women often bear the burden of collecting water. This prevents them from earning an income and sometimes keeps young girls out of school.
Exclusion and discrimination. The caste system is the world's longest-surviving social heirarchy. A person's caste is determined from birth and cannot be changed. The lowest members of society, known as Dalits, or "untouchables," are often denied many basic rights including access to clean water.
First: We raise money. How much? It's simple...if it feels too low, give more. If it feels too high, give less. Even $1 makes a dent, and I will be grateful for every penny that comes from your heart! :-D
Next: Every family receives the same high quality solution in their home.
Each family builds a latrine and bathing room near their home. Then the entire community joins together to construct a water tower in the center of the village. Once all the work is done, an organization called Gram Vikas comes in to drill a well and pipe water (with three taps!) to every household.
After the campaign, charity: water will show us EXACTLY which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means YOU will know the exact locations and names of the communities we helped!
BOTTOM LINE: If we raise $300, we can give 15 people clean drinking water. Not too shabby, eh?
Even $1 will help. I'm grateful for YOUR help to make this the most epic birthday ever. :-)
