From the link you included in your reply:
"Although electrons were sent one by one, interference fringes could be observed."
You say "Single electrons produce single dots. It's only after you dump many electrons through that you get a pattern" which I think is misleading at best. It suggests that the first electron could be found in a location consistent with classical mechanics. The reality is that from the very first dot you'll be seeing interference effects (this is the heart of the double slit experiment), although it's true it won't *look* like there's a pattern until you've accumulated many dots.
Anyway, my point is that GP had it right.

Much will be made of the fact Manchester United were missing Robin van Persie through injury during Sunday's sensational derby humiliation at the hands of Manchester City but that would be an insult to the outstanding performance of the home team at the Etihad Stadium.
From the defensive organisation of fit-again captain Vincent Kompany, to the midfield purpose and goalscoring of Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri, along with the finishing of Sergio Aguero - Manuel Pellegrini's City were superb in their manager's derby debut.
United, in contrast, were decimated and have now taken just seven points from their opening five Premier League games. It was always going to be a tough start when also hosting Chelsea and a trip to Liverpool but the pressure is unquestionably on David Moyes after his painful own first taste of the derby.
Here, Peter Fraser uses Opta statistics to pick apart City's crushing 4-1 victory and looks at what went wrong for an annihilated United in the biggest setback so far of the defending champions' post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
Van Persie was missing from the United squad for the eagerly anticipated derby in what was a huge blow for the visitors at the Etihad. The prolific Dutchman's name was conspicuous by its absence due to a groin injury as the teams were announced, with his place being taken by Danny Welbeck. Van Persie was not even among the substitutes while Ashley Young was also included in the side for Shinji Kagawa.
1 - Today will be the first time Robin van Persie has missed a PL game since March 5 2011; a run of 90 matches. Absent.- OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) September 22, 2013
City made just one change from the side who launched their Champions League campaign with victory over Viktoria Plzen in midweek, with striker Alvaro Negredo replacing Edin Dzeko. That meant captain Kompany kept his place having only returned from injury in the European win last Tuesday.
Where it was won and lost
City had a clear intent to not let United settle into the game and they were full of intensity from kick-off. They enjoyed a 70.6 per cent dominance of possession in the opening 15 minutes and pushed United deep into their own territory while at the same time focusing their attacks on the left-hand side.
This exact tactic led to Aguero's opening goal, which had manager Pellegrini punching the air in delight on the touchline. Antonio Valencia was presumably selected by United for his work ethic and defensive commitment on the right of United's attacking players. But he switched off in the 16th minute to let Aleksandar Kolarov overlap Nasri and cross for Aguero to supply a sublime, volleyed finish.
City continued to enjoy themselves with a majority share of possession and they produced nine shots in the opening quarter of the game, with United failing to manage one. United undoubtedly caused themselves problems throughout their ineffective performance but likewise the purpose and power of City was immense.
Manchester City have been outstanding in all departments. Matching up man-to-man, they have totally dominated Manchester United. The intricacy of their play and the spirit and desire at the back to win tackles has been lovely to watch at timesNiall Quinn
Man of the match Yaya Toure and the rejuvenated Nasri, who was also superb in the midweek win over Plzen, were significant factors in City's excellent first half. Toure touched the ball 43 times, won all of his two duels and played 38 passes, the most of any player on the pitch, at a pass success rate of 86.8%. He also scored City's second goal on the stroke of half-time after a defensive lapse from Marouane Fellaini, who lost his man. Likewise, Nasri touched the ball 46 times, which was the most of any man on either side in the first half.
For United, although they saw an increase in possession in the 10 minutes before half-time - with the possession stats at the break reading only a 54.7% majority for City - there were familiar signs from their season. They had the ball in central areas but Michael Carrick and Fellaini were failing to dictate play. Carrick won possession (10) and had more touches (95) than any other player over the course of the game. But as Sky Sports' Gary Neville identified in co-commentary, there were "too many straight passes". Fellaini was supposed to improve this area after taking Tom Cleverley's place in the team but there was little impact against City.
Carrick and Fellaini were failing to play the ball at any angles which would test City's line of defence and this in turn allowed the home side to keep their shape and mean Wayne Rooney, who looked a frustrated figure, had to drop deep in search of the ball. Young was also guilty of a dire performance, with only eight successful passes before half-time.
Sky Sports' Niall Quinn said at the interval: "Manchester City have been outstanding in all departments. Matching up man-to-man, they have totally dominated Manchester United. The intricacy of their play and the spirit and desire at the back to win tackles has been lovely to watch at times. They deservedly lead 2-0."
United were, of course, missing Van Persie but Welbeck was having to work off scraps in place of the influential Dutchman as the lone striker. It is difficult to imagine whether Van Persie would have been able to do any better. Welbeck touched the ball just 15 times in the first half, which was the same as City goalkeeper Joe Hart and that provided a microcosm of the game.
'City must stay calm'
Vincent Kompany insists it is too early to say whether Manchester City's 4-1 win over United is a defining game. For more, click here.
Little changed immediately after half-time, when City made it 3-0 in a goal which was spookily similar to the first, with Valencia guilty of allowing Kolarov to overlap with a decoy run. Nasri had the room to cross for Negredo who in turn centred the ball for Aguero to finish with another volley after running off the back of Fellaini. It could be argued deadline-day signing Fellaini is not yet up to speed with United's defensive tactics unlike City's summer signings, who all arrived early in the window.
If midfield effectiveness had been a boxing contest, the United coaching staff would surely have thrown in the towel given the way their side were being pulled apart. Again United's midfield was non-existent as City made it 4-0 in the 50th minute. Nasri scored the goal but Kompany took the credit after winning the ball on the edge of his box and feeding it to Jesus Navas before running the length of the pitch to create the space in United's box.
It was a reflection of Kompany's overall performance. The Belgian may have only just returned from injury but he hardly gave Rooney or Welbeck a sniff of the ball. At the final whistle, Kompany had won five of his six duels, made 12 clearances - four times more than his closest team-mate - and had gained possession on nine occasions.
Moyes responded to going 4-0 down by sending on Cleverley in place of the hugely ineffective Young. The poor performance of Young can also be attributed to the fact he was facing Pablo Zabaleta, who underlined his reputation as the best right-back in the division after a superb 10 tackles overall, which was more than double any other player on the pitch.
But the introduction of Cleverley made little impact. With three in central midfield, United saw a bit more of the ball. However, the key to City's success were the influential performances throughout their team, with Kompany, Toure, Nasri and Aguero, who was typically clinical with two goals from his only two shots in the game, all absolutely superb.
Rooney would at least give United, who have another tough match on Wednesday when Liverpool visit Old Trafford in the Capital One Cup, something to cheer with less than five minutes of normal time remaining when his wonderful, curling free-kick was out of reach of Hart. The goal was Rooney's 11th in a Manchester derby to mean he is now the highest scorer in the fixture's history. But landmarks and consolations will mean little to Moyes as he worries about any potential lasting hangover among his squad from their derby embarrassment.
Pellegrini's view
"We went 4-0 up and Manchester United did not have a really clear chance apart from a beautiful free-kick by Rooney and one corner. We have been playing irregular in other games but it is normal in this moment of the season. This was a high test today and the players had a great answer."
Moyes' view
We did not play well - they were better. They started much stronger and much quicker than us. But we will get better - it is a long season to go. We will put this behind us and move on. I thought Manchester City were very good. We were not but City started the game really well.
Gary's view
"What we have seen today is a performance worthy of the Premier League and to be fair I think Manchester City have set the standard for everybody else. I do not think you can even say that United were bad - they just got driven back by Toure, by Kompany. It was just a brilliant performance from City."
Player ratings
Toure was the man of the match after a midfield performance of strength and skill which ranks among his very best. But Kompany gave another reminder of what City have been missing in his injury-enforced absence while Nasri and Zabaleta were also key men. Young will likely want to forget his match having been selected ahead of the popular Kagawa.

POCONO TOWNSHIP — In a little more than a year, a popular ski resort in the Poconos will have a hotel and indoor water park up and running next door.
Work has already begun at Camelback Mountain Resort and the new attraction is getting plenty of support from skiers.
As the snow poured onto Camelback Mountain near Tannersville, so did the fresh concrete as construction crews continue to work on a new attraction located next door to Camelback's Ski Area.
The crews have been working since September on a hotel and indoor water park.
"I think it's pretty cool," said Jaclyn Gayser and Carrie Daniels, both of Easton.
That's the reaction from skiers and snowboarders enjoying Camelback's ski area next door after they hear about Camelback Lodge and Indoor Water Park.
Resort officials announced detailed plans, along with detailed pictures of what the hotel and indoor water park will look like once complete.
The hotel will have more than 400 rooms and the water park will be 125,000 square feet.
"I think it would be interesting to say, 'I'll go swim. No wait, now I'll go snowboarding,'" said Gayser.
"It's pretty amazing. Then you got the pool on the inside, so when you're done you just come back in and relax. It's pretty awesome," said Dominic Castro of North Carolina.
"That's awesome, especially being from Jersey. I won't have to drive all the way back when I want to come up here and board," said Steve Riley of New Jersey.
Camelback Lodge and Indoor Water Park is expected to open spring 2015 and will create nearly 1,000 full and part-time jobs.

When he read my last post, Rob Larson (author of the cover story in the current issue of D&S) forwarded me an interesting article from the Wall Street Journal, Beware of "Independent" Investing Research, and the accompanying graphic (see above).
I had been planning to post again on that very issue of economists for hire–the link I gave in my last post to the Chronicle article by Charles Ferguson hammers home on that, and the NYT just had an article on sky-high compensation for academic CEOs–whoops, I mean administrators. One of the ones they mentioned was Columbia's Lee Bollinger (I noticed because most of the Ivy presidents are not among the most highly compensated–the top folks tend to be from 2nd- or 3rd-tier private universities–here's the table). The blog where the review to Inside Job appeared had an ad for a book by Bollinger about free speech–ugh. I wonder if he said anything about the distorting effects of money on free speech. And I noticed that Bollinger was one of the people whom Ferguson tried to interview but who refused (see here). Also, the NYT had an op-ed by Glenn Hubbard (here) about the Catfood Commission–whoops, I mean the Deficit Commission. The op-ed was repulsive. Entitled Left, Right and Wrong on Taxes, it declares early on that "we are in a difficult situation in large part because we have designed entitlements for a welfare state we cannot afford" and praises the commission's "Zero Plan" for cutting marginal tax rates and corporate tax rates. But Hubbard is one of the people called out in the Charles Ferguson article I linked to in my last post:
Glenn Hubbard, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers in the first George W. Bush administration, dean of Columbia Business School, adviser to many financial firms, on the board of Metropolitan Life ($250,000 per year), and formerly on the board of Capmark, a major commercial mortgage lender, from which he resigned shortly before its bankruptcy, in 2009. In 2004, Hubbard wrote a paper with William C. Dudley, then chief economist of Goldman Sachs [now president of the NY Fed], praising securitization and derivatives as improving the stability of both financial markets and the wider economy.
Ugh. The point is that this kind of corruption is easy to notice if you just glance at bylines and author bios–no research required (though of course Ferguson has obviously done lots of great research). People like Hollinger and Hubbard should just be disqualified from weighing in on public conversations. A main reason we "can't afford" "entitlements" and the "welfare state" is that people like Hollinger and Hubbard, who must be in the top 1% of earners, are taxed at historically low rates, and people like Hubbard (and all the other economists Ferguson fingers) advocated policies that crashed the economy and gave windfalls to the wealthy. Yet Hubbard gets to mouth off about the Catfood Commission on the pages of the NYTimes.
And don't get me started about Bloomberg's appointment of crony Cathy Black as head of the NYC schools. First the billionaire CEO buys the mayoralty of NYC, then he buys it again and overrides a voter-mandated term-limit law. Now he's appointing a fellow CEO with no experience in public education to head the public schools.
This is our future under plutocracy, I guess.
Ok–I didn't get to posting all that stuff about QE2 and the big banks; I will aim to do so by the end of the week.

Collaboration produces breakthrough in workforce development
Story By: Brigitte Coles
Originally Published on: 7/3/2014
A remarkable development in adult workforce development will begin on July 7, when 15 job candidates from Spherion Staffing Agency begin a 56 hour class in basic IRT training at North Central State's Kehoe Center.
All 15 members of the class are expected to complete the training and receive their certificates in a graduation ceremony, also at Kehoe, in the ground floor reception area. It will begin at noon, on Friday, July 18.
For many years, local Spherion officials and Richland County Commissioners Workforce Staff have been working to establish an effective transition model that would move unemployed "temporary workers" from temporary work assignment into full time employees at companies where they have been assigned.
Recently, a conversation between Ann Smith of Spherion and Bob Zettler of the County sparked an idea. With the addition of the 56 hour IRT (Industrial Readiness Training)course from North Central State, Spherion would agree to hire most or all, of these applicants , who usually do not qualify for hiring and placement by Spherion.
According to Smith, most of these applicants range in age from 18 to 25. Once successful, the applicants will be assigned to full time positions at area businesses.
It is hoped that their time on the job will actually lead to permanent positions with bright futures. This approach appears to be unprecedented and could represent a remarkable breakthrough in moving a substantial number of traditionally under and unemployed young adults into meaningful positions of rewarding work in Richland County and North Central Ohio.
There is no cost to the applicants for this training. The curriculum is developed between Spherion and NSCS- IRT officials. The IRT program at North Central State is new and is funded by a federal grant awarded to NCSC and collaborating Community Colleges in other states.
Other training grants that deal with increased skills have been provided primarily for dislocated workers. This may mark the first successful entry -level training using the "Placement Agency" pathway ever attempted.
For further information, contact Bob Zettler, Workforce Consultant, 419-755-5682.

A high speed chase along Interstate 25 southbound ended in Belen, with a dead body found inside the car.
New Mexico State Police say they tried to pull over a silver car Friday afternoon, but the car took off reaching speeds up to 100 miles per hour.
Police say the car got off at the first Belen exit and stopped at one point. They say the officer tried to approach the driver and reported that the driver started coming towards him, so he fired a shot at the car. Police are still investigating if that shot hit anything or anyone.
The chase continued, until the silver car crashed into three other cars on Main Street and Reinken Avenue.
"Officers did a security sweep of the vehicle as standard practice on felony stop to make sure there's no weapons, injured individuals, deceased subjects," Sgt. Emanuel Gutierrez said.
Sergeant Gutierrez says they have not determined an age or gender of the body. He says three women were taken into custody at the scene.

SLINGER, Wis. (AP) A Canadian National Railway Co. train struck another freight train as it rolled through a small village in southeastern Wisconsin, causing cars to derail, injuring two people and spilling thousands of gallons of fuel that prompted the evacuation of dozens of homes.
The southbound Canadian National train struck several Wisconsin & Southern Railroad cars around 8:30 p.m. Sunday at a rail crossing in Slinger, according to Patrick Waldron, a Canadian National spokesman.
Three engines and 10 railcars derailed, Slinger Fire Chief Rick Hanke said. Slinger is about 35 miles northwest of Milwaukee.
An engineer and conductor on the Canadian National train were taken to a hospital, treated for injuries and released, Waldron said Monday.
About 5,000 gallons of diesel spilled from a locomotive fuel tank, Hanke said. Hazardous materials crews placed booms around the spilled fuel and crews worked to upright the derailed cars Monday morning.
Some 100 people who live near the crash site were evacuated from their homes as a precaution, but they were allowed to return around 1:30 a.m. Monday, Hanke said.
The Wisconsin & Southern engineer applied the brakes after an onboard computer sensed something was wrong before the collision, said WSR spokesman Ken Lucht.
There was an emergency situation prior to impact, Lucht said.
Investigators will interview the crew members and inspect both trains to determine what specifically triggered the sensor, he said.
The Wisconsin & Southern train was headed north from Janesville to Horicon and was carrying lumber, steel and plastic pellets, Lucht said. Some lumber spilled from a rail car. The Canadian National train was southbound from Fond du Lac to Champaign, Illinois, and was carrying sand, Waldron said.

For a couple days I saw references to Michelle Shocked having told an audience "God hates fags" without bothering to read any of the articles. I vaguely remembered thinking that Shocked was a lesbian, so it seemed rather odd and I thought perhaps someone had misheard her or she meant it ironically or something. Apparently not.
Folk singer Michelle Shocked stunned a San Francisco audience on Sunday night after breaking into an anti-gay rant in which she said, "God hates fags."
"You can go on Twitter and say 'Michelle Shocked says God hates fags,'" she said, to a crowd at live-music venue Yoshi's San Francisco.
"I live in fear," added Shocked, "that the world will be destroyed if gays are allowed to marry."
And this was in San Francisco, for crying out loud. As you can imagine, about 2/3 of the audience got up and walked out. And the club turned off her microphone, shut down the show and offered to refund the ticket price to those in attendance. Now most of the clubs she was scheduled to appear at over the next few weeks have canceled those shows too. Good career move!
By the way, I've been to Yoshi's. It's a good sushi restaurant in addition to having live music. I was there with my cousin David several years ago.

Vera Farmiga as: Daphne Handlova
Directed by: John Herzfeld
Selected Cast: Robert De Niro, Edward Burns, Kelsey Grammer, Melina Kanakaredes, Karel Roden & Charlize Theron
Written by: John Herzfeld
Release Year: 2001
Genre: Action / Crime / Drama / Thriller
MPAA Rating: R
When Eastern European criminals Oleg and Emil come to New York City to pick up their share of a heist score, Oleg steals a video camera and starts filming their activities, both legal and illegal.
When they learn how the American media circus can make a remorseless killer look like the victim and make them rich, they target media-savvy NYPD Homicide Detective Eddie Flemming and media-naive FDNY Fire Marshal Jordy Warsaw, the cops investigating their murder and torching of their former criminal partner, filming everything to sell to the local tabloid TV show "Top Story."
• Filmed in USA (view all.)
• 1 nomination (view all.)
• Vera starred in the movies Orphan (2009) and Running Scared (2006) with Karel Roden as well.
• The character of Eddie Fleming is based on former NYPD Detective Mike Sheehan, the investigating officer in The Preppie Murder, which John Herzfeld also directed.
• Edward Burns appears 15 minutes into the film.
• The language spoken by Charlize Theron's character is Afrikaans, one of the official languages of South Africa. She says, "Hello Mr Botha, can I call you back? You would never believe who just walked in here, it's Eddie Flemming. Thank you, good bye."
• Charlize Theron appeared for free, as a "thank you" to John Herzfeld for giving her the breakthrough role in 2 Days in the Valley.
• Edward Burns gained 20 lbs for the movie to accurately play an arson investigator as they have to have spent at least 7 years in the fire service and would gain muscle mass across their backs, chests and arms.
• The title comes from the famous quote by artist Andy Warhol who said in the future everyone will be famous for "15 minutes".
• The scene in the bathroom bar where Robert De Niro dunks his head in a sink full of ice, is in fact a real trick that real like police detectives use to get over hangovers. Robert De Niro discovered the trick during his research for the role and was eventually written in.
• There are a lot of location inconsistencies throughout the film. Like the scene involving the apprehension of the Jamaican killer that Robert De Niro is going after early in the film was clearly Los Angeles and most of the scenes in Times Square that were shot in New York for example.

HAZARD — Two men were arrested Friday and charged in connection with the alleged theft of metal from a gas station just outside of Hazard city limits.
The Kentucky State Police post in Hazard received a call at 3 p.m. Friday reporting that two male subjects in a blue Nissan pickup were stealing metal from the Daniel Boone BP on Highway 15.
Trooper Isaac Whitaker later located the vehicle on old Ky. Highway 80, and was assisted during a traffic stop by Perry County Deputy Shannon Woods. The vehicle was occupied by two men identified as Joshua Campbell and Richard Snay, along with a third man who police did not identify and say was not connected to the theft.
Campbell and Snay were arrested and charged with receiving stolen property under $500, while the property recovered was returned to the business, according to a press release from KSP.
Campbell and Snay were lodged in the Kentucky River Regional Jail in Hazard.

Your inbox for the web
Thursday, September 28, 2006
Do you ever wish that finding interesting stuff on the web was as easy as watching TV? Some nights, I just want to relax, tune in to HBO and see what's on. Other times, I know exactly what I want to watch: all those Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes that I've recorded, for one thing. But on the web, the only way to "tune in" is to go to the websites themselves and see what's there. What I really want is for the websites to come to me instead, so I can read them when I feel like it.
Enter Google Reader. Today there's a new version that makes it even easier to keep track of your favorite websites. Think of Google Reader as your inbox for the web. When you check your email, you don't go to each of your friends' mailboxes to see if they sent you anything — you just check your inbox. Google Reader does the same thing for the Internet, by putting all the sites that interest you in one convenient location and indicating when something has been updated. Here's a quick video intro for you:

(ABC 6 News) -- There's a way you can help the hungry in our area and you don't have to leave home to do it.
But time is running out.
Channel One Regional Food Bank is hoping for a grant through Walmart's Fighting Hunger Together Campaign.
The retailer is giving out a total of $3 million to the top 40 food banks with the most votes. Channel One is competing for a $45,000 grant and so far they are in the running currently placed at 13th.
That money would be put toward the backpack program that helps feed kids in our community.
"Childhood hunger is a huge issue in our community, we have nearly 5,000 kids that struggle so this would be a huge step in helping those kids who are struggling with hunger in our community," says Maggie Parham with Channel One Food Bank.
You have until April 30th, which is next Tuesday and you can vote once a day.

Blog review: Peggy's Pet Place
Why did you start Peggy's Pet Place?
I've always shared my home with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, goldfish, turtles, you name it, so I started Peggy's Pet Place to connect with other pet lovers. I also love finding interesting and helpful pet news and sharing it with others.
What's your favorite thing about blogging?
Meeting other great people who genuinely care about animals.
What's your favorite part about pets? Why is it your favorite?
My favorite part about pets is that they are always happy to see you. When I come home, my spaniel Kelly is waiting by the door, wagging her tail, and pawing at the door to get to me. What a greeting!
What's your next project going to be?
I will continue writing about pets. I write a web column, Pawsitively Pets. I also write for Guideposts magazine, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and others, and my first book, Dieting with my Dog, is coming out this fall. My second book is out on submission and I'm working on my third book now.
What's the best advice ever given to you (with regard to pet owning, blogging, or anything else)?
"The key to happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have."
What are/were your favorite and least trends in pet ownership?
I'm glad there is increased awareness about adopting pets. There are so many homeless cats and dogs in shelters and rescue homes, and we need to give them a chance and give them wonderful forever homes.
For more awesome information on pets and pet ownership, visit Peggy's Pet Place.

The Carolina Center
Founded in 1994, the Carolina Center for Integrative Medicine assists patients of all ages in regaining their health and maintaining good health throughout their lives through proactive self care, scientifically-based complementary therapies, and preventive medicine. We believe that the best medicine involves the careful integration of conventional, complementary, and alternative therapies and that this approach will lead to safer, more affordable, and more effective healthcare. We believe that the most effective health care is aimed at comprehensively addressing the unique and diverse needs of each individual. We provide a range of biologically based, innovative treatments for chronic disease as well as self-care strategies for keeping people healthy over the long term. As the oldest integrative medicine facility in the Triangle area, the Carolina Center combines complementary, alternative, and conventional therapies in a systematic way so as to establish a strong foundation for health and healing.
What's New at The Carolina Center
Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy Now Available!
New Uses for an Old Therapy - An Immune System Transfusion
There have been ever-increasing recommendations from many experts in the fields of chronic disease, chronic infection and immune dysfunction that physicians caring for these patients not only address underlying infections but also help restore optimal immune function especially in conventionally documentable cases. Responding these encouraging reports, the Carolina Center has begun providing intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy which can generally be covered by insurance with proper validation through lab testing. This therapy can transform the response to treatment for many, especially those who have plateaued in their healing process. (See IVIG handout)
Upcoming Annual Conferences
A Busy Fall for Dr. Pittman and Staff at Annual Conferences
Dr. Pittman will attend his second training course offered by the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs as he works toward receiving Fellowship Status. He will also attend the American Academy of Thermology's (AAT) annual conference in Greenville, SC. upon which Dr. Pittman also serves on the Board of Directors. Then the big event for Dr. Pittman, Carrie and Younger will be the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society annual conference in Washington, DC, potentially being the largest gathering in the organizations history. The recently published ILADS Guidelines for the treatment of Tick Borne Illness will be one of the main topics for several lectures, setting a new standard of care of patient affected by this chronic condition.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12, 2004 Multinational and Iraqi forces launched an offensive against outlaw militia loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in the Iraqi cities of Kufa and Najaf today.
A Multinational Force Iraq spokesman emphasized that holy shrines are being safeguarded during the "clearing operations."
In a written statement, Army Brig. Gen. Erv Lessel, the multinational force's deputy operations director, said the operations include neither the Imam Ali Mosque in Najaf nor the Kufa Mosque.
"Today's operations are designed to restrict freedom of movement of Sadr forces in Kufa and Najaf and to further isolate them in these mosques, which they use as a base of operations," he said. "Militia use of these shrines as protective shields could lead to damage of these sacred sites."
He added that the combined Iraqi and multinational security forces are operating in strict compliance with guidance from Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi to safeguard and prevent possible harm to these holy shrines as well as to protect the citizens and future of Iraq.
Officials also said reports of thousands of refugees fleeing the city are not true. While some people have left the city, there is no mass exodus, they said.
The main Iraqi police station in Najaf came under mortar fire this morning, according to a Multinational Force Iraq news release. Sadr's militia fired 25 mortar rounds from within the walls of the Imam Ali Mosque. The same militia has engaged the Iraqi police in three major firefights in the center of Najaf, officials said, adding that the police repelled each attack.
Members of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Force are working with the police to protect civilians targeted by the militia, and officials there emphasized that the shrine is not a target, the release said.

'I Believe I Can Fly' 5K to benefit The Arms ForcesWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Margaret Dziubek
As the 180th Air National Guard Fighter Wing gathers for its monthly drill, the community is invited to support local nonprofit The Arms Forces at its first 'I Believe I Can Fly' 5K walk/run.
The event's unique course will take participants around the 180th Air National Guard Base and the Toledo Express Airport. The event begins with check-in at 7:30 a.m. Oct. 5 at the Air Freight Building off Route 20A at Air Cargo Parkway East in Swanton, and the race kicks off at 9 a.m. Runners, walkers and spectators are all encouraged to participate.
Maumee-based nonprofit The Arms Forces was founded by Pam Hays, a survivor of traumatic brain injury eager to help make health and social services more readily available to veterans who have undergone similar traumas.
The Arms Forces advocates on behalf of veterans, fights stigmas surrounding traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and provides support to veterans and their families struggling with the "invisible wounds" of war.
National Guard soldiers are being encouraged to run side by side with the community at this event. Hays wants to make sure veterans aren't just supported by their fellow soldiers, but also by civilians.
"We want to show the veterans that they are cared about and loved in their community, and a race just seems to fit so much with the work we do," said Hays, a Toledo Free Press columnist. "We are interested in helping people to believe in themselves."
The day's festivities will include a costume contest. Participants or spectators dressed as pilots, flight attendants, military personnel or in any other aviation or patriotically themed outfit will have chances to win prizes. Each race participant will also be entered for a chance to win up to $1,000 worth of airline tickets.
Registration for the race is open through Oct. 4, with early discounted registration ending Sept. 29. There will be a post-race celebration following the event. For more information, visit www.thearmsforces.org/5k/.

I've gone a few rounds with Jonathan Chait in the past (he affectionately refers to me as the Bush administration's Minister of Propaganda). I'm therefore delighted to draw attention to a piece he wrote — not to rebut it but to praise it.
According to Chait, "Conservatives are furious that the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords is being pinned on them. Their indignation is justified. The mania of Giffords' would-be assassin may be slightly more right-wing than left-wing, but on the whole it is largely disconnected from even loosely organized extreme right-wing politics."
Chait goes on to say this:
I can see why those concerned about the rise of right-wing hysteria would want to use Loughner as a cautionary tale — even if he wasn't a product of right-wing rage, they may be thinking, he is an example of what right-wing rage could lead to. Yet they fail to understand that this will appear to conservatives as an attempt to use the emotion of the moment to stigmatize them. The mania of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party must be dealt with on their own terms.
A few weeks ago, Chait had nice things to say about something I wrote; today I have something nice to say about what he wrote.
This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

Robert A.M. Stern Breathes Sigh of Relief, Keeps Job at Yale
mediabistro.com: UnBeige
What's a good way to keep your job? Well, it's never a bad idea, in the same year as your contract renewal, to be picked to design the presidential library from the current president while you're also working at his alma mater. But we just kid about the news that Robert A.M. Stern will be keeping his job as dean of the Yale School of Architecture for another five-year term.
Colin in blog like you give a damn
I easily come across 6 or 7 items a day that I wish I had time to write about here on BLYGAD, but I've always felt pressured by the format to only post here when I had the time to do something substantiative, which can leave this place a little on the quite side at times. As a possible remedy for this, I've been experimenting with Tumblr lately, appropriately at www.tumblelikeyougiveadamn.tumblr.com. And as you can see from my Tumblr archive image above, I've been having allot of fun with it (56 posts in 12 days to be exact).
The Dream Remains the Same
Brendan in Where
A recent post over at TNAC's blog, The Street, suggests that it may be time to change the American Dream. But what is the American Dream, exactly? It's a well-worn turn of phrase (were it a turn in the road, the guardrail might be out from being hit so many times), and while people usually use "American Dream" as slang for "house in 'burbs, lawn, two cars, spouse, 2.5 kids, dog," I would argue very strongly against this interpretation. The American Dream is not about houses or property or ownership -- heck, it's not even about money; it's about "new hopes, new dreams, and a better way of life for the future."

By: The Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The state will prepare a report on all tax breaks and incentives offered in New Mexico under legislation heading to Gov. Susana Martinez.
The bill won final approval in the Legislature on Wednesday when it passed the House on a 58-10 vote.
Supporters say the report - called a tax expenditure budget - will help lawmakers assess the effectiveness of more than 400 tax provisions that reduce revenue by an estimated $1 billion.
The report is to determine the number of jobs created by each tax incentive as well as their cost and the number of businesses that qualify for the tax break.

Quetta (Urdu: کوئٹہ, Pashto: کوېټه, Balochi: کویته pronunciation ) is the provincial capital and largest city of Balochistan province, Pakistan. Quetta is also known as the Fruit Garden of Pakistan, due to the numerous fruit orchards in and around it, and the large variety of fruits and dry fruits produced there. The immediate area has long been one of pastures and mountains with varied plants and animals relative to the dry plains to the west. Quetta is at an average elevation of 1,680 meters (5,510 feet) above sea level, making it Pakistan's only high-altitude major city. The population of the city is estimated to be approximately one million.
In northern Balochistan near the borders of Afghanistan and Iran, Quetta is a trade and communication centre between the three countries. The city lies on the Bolan Pass route which was once the only gateway from Central Asia to South Asia. Quetta played an important role militarily for the Pakistani Armed Forces in the intermittent Afghanistan conflict.

Liverpool's latest pass master Joe Allen has been in fine form in recent weeks, introducing himself to the Anfield faithful by showcasing his superb passing range - but which Red has been the greatest passer of them all?
The club's footballing philosophy was built on pass and move. New manager Brendan Rodgers stated upon his arrival that he wanted his side to "pass opponents into submission".
Triangles of slick, direct passing has been the aim of the game at Anfield for decades but certain players have shone even brighter than the rest in the passing stakes.
Down the years we've watched players who would carve opposition defences in two with a pin-point through ball, pick holes in back fours with intricate, weighted passes or spray a ball from the Kemlyn Road touchline to the Main Stand corner flag.
And so a panel of Liverpoolfc.com staff got together and came up with a list of our Kop 10 pass masters. Click the arrow below to flick through our selection:

19. - Can I have it delivered to my home?
Pete Holmes, Seattle city attorney and one of the sponsors of I-502, recently wrote to the liquor control board about this issue:
The state rules suggest delivery to customers by anyone who is not licensed by the state to grow, produce or sell isn't permitted.
This language is key: ''Upon receiving the shipment, the licensee receiving the product shall report the amount and/or weight of marijuana and/or marijuana products received in the traceability system.''
In Colorado: Similar language.

Ummm.... did I miss something? Not sure when 10 out of 19 completions is considered "top form"
On the play 'rantin' is mentioning, Robinson looked absolutely clueless as to what he was doing, both before and after the reception was made. Not a very good impression to make for someone drafted so high. Will just have to trust the coaches won't put him out there until ready.....too much riding on a game to let someone run so wide open. Where's this kids 'mean streak' at??

Where's this kids 'mean streak' at??
Not just the "D" to worry about...... the punting game was pretty terrible. What's up with the 32 yd average per kick?? Need more then that to change field position.
Hopefully this is wake-up call to the team.... if the REALLY DID play up to their potential last night, then it's going to be a long season.
"Its a calf strain folks so he will get over it with rest and stretching.."
Trouble is that sometimes 'calf strain' can be "coach-speak" for achillies tendon problem also. We'll have to wait and see what's the real story. Hope that it's nothing. Can't have any major bumps along the road to the Super Bowl!!!
Geaux Saints!!!!
C'mon.....road trips to N.O. usually involve a 6pk or two for the drive, and possibly some blunts to make it interesting. Just kidding. No way that you can make me believe that this guy didn't know what he was doing was STUPID. He's been through the NFL lectures, plus all the college info too. Maybe he was just too ashamed to admit he was up studying the playbook all night ;-) Our Special Teams can do some amazing things!!!
Last year was hamstring injuries like crazy.....now something new (achillies tendons). I sure hope that the strenght/conditioning coaching program was giving the same 'makeover' as the defense. We took some big hits on these non-contact injuries last year which hampered us the entire season. I was hoping that it was just an oddity, but 2 significant injuries on the 1st day of 'helmet only' drills doesn't make it sound like it was the case. Here's to hoping that the rest of the camp.....and the rest of the season..... goes pretty much injury free!
I'm hoping that they nut-up and take Matthews. We need a playmaker to pressure on blitzes and stuff the run. Pedigree and a blue collar work ethic seems like it would be the best chance for improving the defense given our current draft situation. I'm not partial to ANY of the Ohio St people.....just don't think that they transition well to the NFL.
I'm not so sure I'd like to see someone here (Williams) who might have one eye out for a Head Coaching job instead on diving head-on into revamping the defense.
While I agree that letting Gibbs go won't instantly improve the defense, it does HOPEFULLY serves notice that poor execution/work habits/basic fundamentals WON'T be tolerated any longer......The number of 20+ yard plays against the "D," the inability to make critical stops, and total lack of playmakers has got to change. Accountability for everyone on that side of the ball.
D gives up 2 passes over 20 yards......not a good sign. It did sound like there was more pressure applied to the QB though, so that's a positive. I'm still concerned that our weak coverage will be the downfall of us. We're not known as a D that produces many "3 & outs"
With all the money and 'improvements' made over the off season, does anyone think the entire defensive scheme may play into the poor performances? I'm in no way defending the terrible play of the defensive backfield, but is our 'base' defense that easy to recognize the soft spots? Maybe a total redefinition of the system......and attitude...... is needed, along with players who match that attitude and intensity. If this continues, it's going to be a l-o-n-g season. Still keeping the faith here.......GO SAINTS!!!!

The Internet has changed our social spaces, our political and social realities, our use of language, and the way we communicate, all with breathtaking speed. Almost everyone who deals with the Internet and the new world of cyberspace communication at times feels bewildered, dismayed, or even infuriated. In this clear and helpful book, computer communications scholar Laura J. Gurak takes a close look at the critical issues of online communication and discusses how to become literate in the new mass medium of our era. In cyberspace, Gurak shows us, literacy means much more than knowing how to read. Cyberliteracy means being able to sort fact from fiction, to detect extremism from reasonable debate, and to identify gender bias, commercialism, imitation, parody, and other aspects of written language that are problematic in online communication. Active reading skills are essential in cyberspace, where hoaxes abound, advertising masquerades as product information, privacy is often compromised, and web pages and e-mail messages distort the truth. Gurak analyzes the new language of the Internet, explaining how to prepare for its discourse and protect oneself from its hazards. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the impact of the Internet on the practices of reading and writing and on our culture in general.
Laura J. Gurak is professor of rhetoric and technical communication at the University of Minnesota, where she also directs the Internet Studies Center. She is the author of several books including Persuasion and Privacy in Cyberspace, published by Yale University Press.
"Shooting her laserbeam intelligence at historical aspects of this relatively new rhetorical space, Laura Gurak sizzles here with deep insight and a vision of the cyberfuture. A must read. Soon to become a classic." Kathleen Ethel Welch, author of Electric Rhetoric "In this engaging book, social critic Laura Gurak looks past the boxes and wires of the Internet to explore the human side of the digital revolution." Katheleen Tyner, author of Teaching and Learning in the Age of Information

Abstract available in
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Patented July 24, 1934 UNITED STATES DEVICE FOR INSERTING MEDICAMENTS INTO THE BODY BY IONTOPHORESIS Desider Deutsch, Budapest, Hungary, assignor to the firm Schering-Kahlbaum Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin, Germany No Drawing. Application September 4, 1931, Serial No. 561,312. In Germany June 17, 1931 3 Claims.
My invention relates to a device for inserting medicaments into the human or animal body by means of iontophoresis It is known to insert medicaments into the body by iontophoresis. To this end the medicament is put on the skin in fluid state and covered with an electrode connected to one pole of a direct current source while the other pole of said current source is connected to another electrode being in contact with any other part of the body. Thus the current flowing through the electrode and the medicament inserts the latter through the skin into the body. Instead of putting the medicament directly upon the skin it is also known to impregnate a pad of cotton-wool with the medicament and to lay this pad under the one electrode upon the skin. Both methods have several disadvantages. Owing to the poisonous effect of most medicaments if taken in greater quantities or stronger concentration than allowed, the physician must not give them into the hands of the patient but has to perform the iontophoresis himself. That is even true with the treatment of frequently appearing pains wanting repeated iontophoresis like rheumatism, so that the treatment is becoming very dear in spite of its simplicity and of the cheapness of the medicaments.
Moreover the known methods are very unthrifty even if performed by physicians, because usually there is put much more of the medicament upon the cotton-wool than necessary for one treatment and the surplus is getting lost since the same pad of cotton-wool can not be used another time. Besides it often happens that the patient gets burnt by the electric current if the electrode slides off from the wool-cotton and thus comes into direct contact with the skin.
One object of my invention is to provide means for performing the iontophoresis which can be used by everybody without danger of poisoning by the poisonous medicaments necessary therefor.
Another object is to provide a device for the said purpose by which the waste of medicaments is avoided. Another object is to prevent burning of the skin by the current.
My invention consists in a lining for the active electrode for the iontophoresis, said lining consisting of a material being impregnated with the necessary quantity of the medicament. This impregnated lining which may consist of filteringpaper, blotting-paper, textile fabric or the like can be given into the hand of the patient without scruple as wrong use of it is impossible so that the patient is thus enabled to cure his pains, for
example his rheumatism, himself. As the quantity of the medicament in the lining can be adjusted carefully there is no waste and each piece of the lining contains only as much of the medicament as necessary for one treatment. It is advantageous to mix the medicament with a disinfectant like thymol in order to prevent any decomposition of the medicament when storing for longer time. If the lining consists of the above named materials like paper or textile the water contained in the medicament will evaporate after the impregnation and the lining has to be moistened before use so as to make it conductive for the current. This is not necessary if the lining consists of hygroscopic material like hectograph-paste as in this case the lining remains damp permanently.
It is particularly advantageous to combine the lining with the electrode by providing it with a metallic covering serving as electrode. This covering may consist of a foil fastened to the lining or be produced on the lining by galvanoplastic depositing or by squirting. This combination of the lining with the electrode renders the performance of the iontophoresis very simple and easy, and makes it impossible to burn the patient since the electrode can never come into direct contact with the skin.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
1. As an article of manufacture, for use in a device for inserting medicaments into the human or animal body by iontophoresis, a lining for the active electrode, said lining being impregnated with a quantity of the medicament substantially exactly sufiicient for a single treatment, said lining being substantially free of water capable of evaporating therefrom.
2. As an article of manufacture, for use in a device for inserting medicaments into the human or animal body by iontophoresis, a lining for the active electrode, said lining being impregnated with a quantity of the medicament substantially exactly suflicient for a single treatment, and a thin flexible metallic covering secured to said lining and constituting the active electrode.
3. As an article of manufacture, for use in a device for inserting medicaments into the human thin flexible metallic covering secured to said lining and constituting the active electrode, said metallic covering comprising a galvanoplastic deposit.
