Tor Browser Bundle is a set of tools that lets you access Tor network. It includes a Firefox browser configured to access internet through Tor. This can be used to open websites that are blocked in the school or the country that you are living. Also, the websites do not get much information about the person visiting them.
The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

This player software uses a standard "plug-in" mechanism to integrate with your web browser in a similar way to other standard web based rich media types such as Apple's Quicktime or Adobe's Shockwave. Once you install this player, you can view any simulation that has been created with the Hypercosm 3D technology
Vidalia lets you start and stop Tor, see how much bandwidth you are consuming, see how many circuits you currently have active, see where these circuits are connected on a global map, view messages from Tor about its progress and current state, and let you configure your Tor client, bridge, or relay with a simple interface.
Tor VM is a transparent Tor proxy for Windows built with Qemu virtualization technology for more resilient clients and relays. You can think of Tor VM like a Tor virtual network card that routes all of the traffic from your machine transparently over the Tor network without application proxy settings or other configuration.
Mask Surf Pro is an easy to use anonymizer based on a highly complex technology called Tor. It makes good use of the array of encrypted Tor tunnels and distributed servers and offers you a level of protection you've never imagined. The professional edition of the application is geared for advanced users that need more control and flexibility than regular surfers.
OnionCat creates a transparent IP layer on top of Tor's hidden services. It transmits any kind of IP-based data transparently through the Tor network on a location hidden basis. You can think of it as a point-to-multipoint VPN between hidden services. Its architecture guarantees that the real IP of users cannot be revealed in any way. Tor also provides so-called Hidden Services.

- 900g blackberries or rasberries
- 450g golden granulated sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 300ml gin, vodka, rum or brandy
- 2 litre Kilner jar or 2 or 3 (70 cl) gin bottles washed and sterilised
Process the berries and 100g of the sugar in a food processor, then press through a metal sieve into a pan.
Add the remaining sugar and cinnamon to the pan and cook over a medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, then stir in the alcohol. Remove from the heat and discard the cinnamon.
To sterilise some bottles and lids, clean and upturn them – lids off – on a baking sheet. Put in the oven for 15 minutes. Make sure that the bottles lie on their sides. Strain the gin into bottles, seal, label and chill.
Leave in a cool dark place for 3 months, shaking daily for a month, then just when you remember.
Shake before serving, diluted with sparkling water and ice or drizzled over ice cream.
I'm sure I don't need to remind you not to throw away the soaked fruit. It's delicious in cakes or spooned over ice cream.

Seriously though, does anyone actually REALLY like classic music?
Yep, although it's pretty daunting to get into. Fortunately there's a range which is pretty much a 'greatest hits' collection for each composer. So far I think Dvorak is my favourite.
It's not easy to know where to start with classical music. I suppose it could be as easy as choosing a composer or a period of classical music you like, look around that body of work, and take off from there.
That's what I basically did at first. I looked on youtube and just clicked on random videos. Amazon is good where you can sample 30 seconds of a song off a cd, so you can get some impression as to what the music is like.
I do find it hard to remember the names of pieces of music though.

Maija Isola
|Maija Isola
Maija Isola at work, sitting cross-legged, paintbrush and paintpot in hand
15 March 1927
Riihimäki, Finland
|3 March 2001(aged 73)
|Textile designer
|Known for
|Marimekko patterns
Maija Isola (born 15 March 1927 in Riihimäki, Finland, died 3 March 2001) was a leading Finnish designer of printed textiles. Her bold colourful designs made Marimekko famous in the 1960s. She also had a career as a visual artist.[1]
|Undisputedly the most famous textile designer .. at Marimekko[2]
Life and career[edit]
After studying painting at the Helsinki Central School of Industrial Arts, Isola became principal textile designer for Marimekko.[3]
In 1964, Isola defied Marimekko founder Armi Ratia's ban on floral patterns, setting the style of the company by painting the famous Unikko (Poppy) pattern in bold pink, red and black on white;[4] the pattern has been in production ever since.[5]
In 1974, Isola designed the popular pattern Primavera, consisting of stylized Marigold flowers; this has since been printed in many different colours for tablecloths, plates and other items.[6]
From 1980 to 1987, Isola worked in Marimekko with her daughter, Kristina "who is still one of Marimekko's chief designers".[7] [8] From 1987, Maija worked on painting, not textiles, until her death in 2001.[8]
According to FinnStyle, Isola was "undisputedly the most famous textile designer to have existed at Marimekko",[2] and she "created over 500 prints during her long and colorful employment."[2]
Ivar Ekman, writing in the New York Times, quotes Marianne Aav, director of the Helsinki Design Museum: "What we understand as the Marimekko style is very much based on what Maija Isola was doing".[8] Ekman comments "The range of prints that Isola produced for Marimekko is astounding", as the patterns span "minimalistic geometric", "toned-down naturalistic" and "explosion of colors".[8]
Marion Hume, writing in Time Magazine, explains that Isola "was able to mastermind an astonishing range, from the intricate and folkloric Ananas (1962)—which remains one of the most popular prints for the home market—to the radically simple, dramatically enlarged, asymmetrical Unikko poppy (1964), originally in red and in blue, which may be one of the most widely recognized prints on earth."[9]
According to Tamsin Blanchard, writing in The Observer, "The designs of Maija Isola - one of the company's original and longest-standing designers - have stood the test of time."[10] Blanchard describes as "timeless" Isola's 1972 Wind design "with its feathery organic tree skeletons in silhouette", her 1957 Putinotko "spiky black-and-white print", her 1963 Melon and her 1956 Stones.[10]
Hannah Booth, writing in The Guardian, explains that Marimekko's founder, Armi Ratia, "recruited Maija Isola, the first and most important of many young female designers, to create original prints".[11] She describes Isola as "unconventional", leaving her daughter Kristina "to grow up with her grandmother so she could travel the world to find inspiration for her textiles".[11] Booth quotes Finnish novelist Kaari Utrio as saying Isola was "a dangerously original character"; she "belonged to a trailblazing generation" enabling young women to move freely into the arts.[11]
Lesley Jackson, in the aptly titled chapter Op, Pop, and Psychedelia in her textbook Twentieth Century Pattern Design, writes that "from Finland the exuberant all-conquering Marimekko burst on to the international scene" in the 1960s; she illustrates this with one pattern by Vuokko Nurmesniemi, and three by Isola – Lokki, Melooni, and inevitably Unikko.[12]
- Of Lokki, Jackson writes "Isola revolutionized design with her simple, bold, flat patterns, printed on a dramatic scale. The design, whose title means 'seagull', evokes the lapping of waves and the flapping of birds' wings."[13]
- Of the famous Unikko, Jackson explains "This huge, exploded poppy pattern embodies the unbridled design confidence of the mid-1960s, and presages the ebullience and sizzling colours of the flower power era."[13]
Hanna-Liisa Ylipoti notes that "The themes of many Marimekko designs are also very Finnish, portraying Finnish nature. For example, Maija Isola created her Luonto (nature) design [series] using actual plant specimens".[14]
Legacy of Marimekko patterns[edit]
In 2011, Marimekko flew a hot-air balloon decorated with an enormous version of Unikko over Helsinki, showing that the pattern remains iconic nearly half a century later.[15] Marimekko's marketing policy is to reissue "classics from its fifty-year back catalogue, notably a large group of patterns from the 1950s and 1960s by Maija Isola."[7]

Minorities in Iowa Prisons: On the Monday, January 21 edition of The Iowa Journal
January 18, 2008
Racial disparity in Iowa's prisions has been a problem for decades. Last year, a national study by the Sentencing Project revealed that in Iowa, African Americans are about 14% more likely to be incarcerated than whites when committing the same crimes. As a result, Iowa has the greatest black-to-white disparity in incarceration in the nation. Iowa Governor Chet Culver is determined to make inroads in alleviating this problem and issued an executive order in November 2007 that formalized the two-year Youth, Race, and Detention Task Force. While the problem is not only an issue of youth, it is believed that Iowa's juvenile justice system is a place to start offsetting the imbalances of many past generations. This episode of The Iowa Journal discusses the challenges in fighting this situation. Guests for the show are David Goodson with Social Action, Inc. in Waterloo, and Brad Richardson with the University of Iowa's Disproportionate Minority Contact Resource Center.

Catherine Ryan and Gary Weimberg's documentary about the century-old, second-largest private home in the United States moves as slowly as one of those weekend History Channel programs about America's castles—and it similarly reels you in with its descriptions of the architectural wonders and tales of the rich who once frolicked there. The 100-room Chateau Carolands in Hillsborough, California, has been in the grips of three wealthy and strong-willed women, and given its rise, near fall and recent renaissance, it's a wonder the joint is still standing at all.
As part of their Cinema Orange series, the Orange County Museum of Art and the Newport Beach Film Festival join forces to present screenings of films you may have missed at April's NBFF. Given the architecture and trimmings of the mansion on the screen, it's appropriate this film is screening in an art museum.
Three Women and a Chateau screens as part of the Cinema Orange series at Orange County Museum of Art, 850 San Clemente Dr., Newport Beach, (949) 759-1122. Thurs., June 8, 8:30 p.m. Free.

Tell you right now boy it aint no use
Dm Am Dm
Dont ever buy nothin' from a man named truth.
and i think it's the same for the verses. enjoy!
These chords are right, but it's not in C at all. The key is D minor, but it might be possible to make an argument for F major...
You're right about the key, but the chords, at least what I heard are different - there is a G (minor), too, in lines 1 and 4 of chorus and verses. This video of a performance, which follows the studio version closely, supports my point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fhq-Mn17wY. Moreover, this is a lazy tab, mentioning the other verss but omitting the lyrics.
I submitted a complete and, I think, correct version, which should be up any time soon.

Last Laughs
1994, printed 2004
Light jet print from Polaroid original, ed. 3/15
Promised gift of Will Owen and Harvey Wagner; EL.2011.60.65
© 2012 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / VISCOPY, Australia
Throughout her career, Destiny Deacon has created a rich archive of cosmopolitan Aboriginal people who live on the edges of the city but have been conceptually filtered out of the quintessential Australian space of the quarter-acre backyard block. For her, Aboriginality is inextricably linked to these urban spaces, and she speaks out against the reflexive thinking that renders Aboriginal people invisible. The majority of Aboriginal people actually live on the eastern seaboard of Australia in large cities and towns, but this urban reality is only loosely embedded within the national consciousness. In Last Laughs, a multiethnic trio of women, looking like the day after the night before, laughs conspiratorially at a private joke. They appear loud, brash, and confident and embody in this photograph that wonderful human quality of being able to laugh at oneself and be completely oneself with others.

McDermott Wrong on Political Spending
By Bill Maurer
Congressman Jim McDermott's recent op-ed in The Seattle Times, Corporate spending and U.S. elections: counteracting the super PACs, gets almost everything wrong about Super PACs, the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC, and spending in elections. What he proposes in response would seriously undermine the First Amendment.
In his op-ed Representative McDermott does not discuss what Citizens United was about or what the justices actually said. Citizens United concerned a federal law that made it a crime for people to use general corporate and union treasury funds to produce political speech. If people used the wrong funds to fund a movie, book, pamphlet or advertisement, the government could fine or imprison them. The Supreme Court concluded that the First Amendment—"Congress shall make no law … abridging freedom of speech"—could not be reconciled with a law that made it a crime to produce political speech.
The Supreme Court was right. This is America. We do not put people in prison for making movies or publishing books about politics, regardless of whether government officials would prefer that it be illegal to use "unlimited funds to attack candidates for federal office." That approach is not fairness or democracy—it is censorship.
The op-ed nonetheless blames Citizens United for a "super PAC-driven media onslaught" that will try to persuade Washington voters who to choose as "a president, governor and full slate of other national and state officials."
As an initial matter, Citizens United did not concern Super PACs—that was a different decision, SpeechNow.org v. FEC. Regardless, Super PACs are simply associations of people acting together to exercise their First Amendment rights. While those in power may not like the speech they produce or think there is too much of it, the Constitution prohibits them from banning or even limiting it.
The op-ed also errs on the effect Citizens United will have on Washington state elections, which is none. Washington did not limit corporate or union spending on elections before Citizens United and the state has even long permitted corporations to give directly to candidates.
It also declares that Citizens United also "guaranteed corporations the same free-speech rights as people." But corporations are associations of people, like marriages, TV stations, labor unions, and rock groups. People do not lose their First Amendment Rights when they act in concert with others—if they did, the government could ban all speech that carries beyond the sound of a single person's own voice.
Ultimately, Representative McDermott's real problem is with the fact that those with whom he disagrees can speak effectively and persuasively and not with Citizens United itself. His op-ed makes it clear that he believes there is something inherently wrong in Americans coming together, pooling their resources, and producing political speech "designed to sway our elections." This is why, for instance, he proposes increased disclosure for political spending, which would allow officeholders to more easily identify and retaliate against those who speak out against them.
Those in power often do not like political speech, especially when it is directed at them. But Representative McDermott's desire to ration speech leads him to propose a constitutional amendment to limit the scope of the First Amendment. This proposal should alarm every American.
The First Amendment has protected free speech and association for over 200 years. Americans of all political stripes should be very concerned when government officials want to amend it to make it more difficult to effectively discuss who should represent us. We should not dispense with our fundamental freedoms so that politicians can remain in office untouched from criticism or challenge.
Seattle attorney Bill Maurer is a Washington Policy Center adjunct scholar and director of the Institute for Justice's Washington Chapter.
Attack on the First Amendment
McDermott is simply expressing the view of all socialist/progressives that the only freedom people should enjoy is that which they, as our betters, allow. If he had his way, all speech in opposition to his views would be illegal, as his despotic inclinations are completely evident in his speech and his voting record.

LEESBURG -- Lady Trojans soccer doesn't discriminate.
Lee County dished out plenty of punishment during the regular season in its unbeaten 1A-AAAA subregion slate. Matched against subregion 1B-AAAA in the region playoffs, the Lady Trojans have continued to crush teams.
Lee, the top seed from its subregion, rolled to its second 10-0 mercy rule win Friday in the semifinals of the Region 1-AAAA tournament against Upson-Lee, the second seed from its subregion, to advance to the region title game.
When that game is played (date and time not officially set), the Lady Trojans are expecting a serious test. That's because they'll face a familiar foe: Thomas County Central.
"I always like playing them because it's always an intense game and we get pumped up for them," Lady Trojans senior goalkeeper Ashley Law said. "They're our rival. We should come out fired up against them."
TCC, the second seed in Lee County's subregion, dropped Region 1B-AAAA top seed Harris County, 7-0, Thursday to advance to the title game. TCC ended Lee County's three-year reign as region champs last year with a 1-0 win in the title game, but the Lady Trojans took both games from the Lady Yellow Jackets during the regular season.
On Friday, Lee took its time with Upson-Lee before exploding in the second half. Rachel Hatch's goal at the 28-minute mark was the only score in the opening minutes before Casey Schoenberger chipped in a deflected header in front of the net to put Lee County ahead, 2-0, with just left 13:50 before half.
"Feel them out," Lady Trojans second-year coach Dave Baltenberger joked about the first-half strategy. "We'll take the final score. That's all that matters."
Just before halftime, Kaitlyn Farrell centered a perfect corner kick with 31 seconds left in the first half to Brittney Rackley, who scored for a 3-0 Lady Trojans lead at intermission.
Hatch scored her second goal of the game, giving her seven so far in the region playoffs, just 30 seconds into the second half to give Lee (15-1-1) a comfortable 4-0 advantage.
"That really set the tone in the second half," Baltenberger said.
After that, the rout was on. Haley Cimino, Morgan Barbaro, Hatch and Carson Taylor all added scores in the second half. Taylor scored three goals in the second half, giving the freshman five region playoff goals.
"Our offense is really clicking," Baltenberger said. "If our defense keeps playing like it is, all we've got to do is score a few."
Law, meanwhile, had another easy day in net, facing just three shots on goal. She expects things to change next week in the region championship.
"There's probably going to be a lot more action," Law said.

This important source for students, researchers, advertisers and parents reviews the debates about advertising to children, and presents new information about children's understanding of advertising. Contributing authors analyse food and alcohol advertising and their effect on children and young people, and explore the point at which children can first identify advertisements and when they can understand that advertisements are persuasive messages. As well as reporting research about television advertising, this volume includes studies about advertising to children in new media, including web pages, search engines, and advergames. There is a discussion of the new ways that marketers reach children, for instance through the internet or with product placement, as well as practical explanations of how parents and educators can help children become more critical of advertisements.

Welcome back to The Queue, WoW.com's daily Q&A column where the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.
After a year of writing this thing, I've run out of quirky ways to introduce this thing that don't reek of veiled desperation. So screw the veil. Along with your question in today's edition of The Queue, I want you to write an introduction for the next edition of this column that I write, which will be the day after tomorrow. I will pick the best of the bunch to use. Keep it clean!
crusherkid asked...
"I've read reports that because of the servers going down in China that World of Warcraft has dropped down to only 5 million subscribers. Is that correct?"
I really couldn't give you solid numbers, because Blizzard never provides them. We don't know 100% for certain how many active accounts there were on Chinese realms. The number was probably in the multi-millions though, yes. I'd probably go as high as 3 million, I don't know about 5 million. Asia is a big region for WoW/Blizzard (with probably half of the world's WoW players) and China is a big portion of that, but don't confuse China for all of Asia. There are still active realms in other Asian countries. For example: Taiwan, where Stars relocated after the Wrath of the Lich King nonsense in China.
Stars is a pretty good example of what's happening with Chinese WoW players right now. The diehard WoW players aren't just sitting back and waiting for Netease to get their crap together. They're just jumping ship to Taiwan's servers, and have been since The9 was still in charge. So we have no clue what the number really is, but whatever it is, it's a pretty big number.
Falcom asked...
"Do Horde characters who go to, say Culling of Stratholme get transformed into a Human just like Alliance non-Human races?"
zulix asked...
"Are there going to be new cooking recipes in the upcoming patch?"
Yes, but the only ones we've seen/heard about have been seasonal. There aren't any new recipes from Dalaran Cooking Awards. There is a new Thanksgiving holiday that we don't know much about yet, but there will be some recipes you can get during that.
Mordockk asked...
"Will the Lich King drop Frostmourne????"
I don't know!!!!
No, seriously, we have no idea. It's possible. I imagine that if we do, it'll either be a purified or powered down version. I'm pretty sure Blizzard wouldn't turn one of your raid members into the new Lich King everytime the sword dropped. The recruitment pool would dry up pretty quick, you know?
Andrew R. asked...
"Is there a place I can order the music from Wrath? I've heard samples from the Echoes of War but didn't know if that had the Wrath music on it or not. I love the music in the Howling Fjord. I put my character somewhere safe and turn the music up when I need to study."
Echoes of War has a few pieces from Wrath of the Lich King I believe, but you can get the full soundtrack from iTunes.
Varikk asked...
"Being a daily reader of your page, I have one question that is burning in my mind.. when will people stop asking you about what new race/class etc will be in the new expansion? Are you at the point now where you copy and paste the answer? It's deja vu, like... everyday."
Alja replied...
"People will never stop asking would be my guess, I don't know if they think the guys and gals of WoW.com will have received some magical document in the last 5 minutes (from when they last asked the question) that will be covered with dancing worgen and pandas that will announce what they hope. It's very annoying.
I vote that the next time the question is asked, Alex answers the question using a Magic 8 Ball or the psychic friends hotline, maybe they know."
Tyrian asked...
"Do you think it's possible that we'll see playable Tuskarr in a Maelstrom expansion, seeing as they're a sea-based race?"

Baltimore County Now
Michelle Bruns, Caregiver Program Manager, Department of Aging
Are you taking care of an older relative or friend? Feeling tired, frustrated or overwhelmed by the demands of caregiving?
After attending last year's BCDA Caregivers Mini-Conference, a family caregiver commented, "I attended the Annual Caregivers Mini-Conference with my mother because she is the primary caregiver for my father, her husband of almost 60 years. She and I had been overwhelmed and exhausted by his care needs. At the Mini-Conference we learned about new resources and tips to make our caregiving easier. We went in the door that day feeling "burned out" and came out with new suggestions and a brighter attitude about our situation!"
Become a more resilient caregiver by attending this year's Baltimore County Department of Aging Caregivers Mini-Conference, Saturday, April 11 at the BYKOTA Senior Center, 611 Central Avenue, Towson 21204. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. and the event concludes at 12:30 p.m. Guest speakers will inform the audience about stress reducing resources for themselves, as well as programs and services for older adults. Participants will receive tips for healthy living and a quick cooking demonstration. Resource tables will be available throughout the event, staffed by specialists in the field of aging and disabilities. There is no admission charge and parking is free. Continental breakfast and beverages available, sponsored by AARP.
If you are a family member caring for an older adult in the Baltimore area, you owe it to yourself to come out for half a day to refresh yourself in your role as caregiver. All are welcome. No pre-registration; just come that day!
To discover more information about the Caregivers Program or the conference, contact 410-887-4724.
Michelle Marseilles Bruns
Manager, Caregiver Program
Baltimore County Department of Aging
No doubt you know a family caregiver because there are thousands of them across our region. They are the sons, daughters-in-law, spouses, adult grandchildren, neighbors and close friends who are providing care and support to seniors in our community. They do this out of a concern for the safety and well-being of their loved one. It is a labor of love.
November is National Family Caregivers Month. It is a designated time each year to recognize the countless hours that families provide, without financial compensation, to keep seniors at home as independently as possible. In recognition of this occasion, why not give the gift of your time to offer to the family caregiver so they may take a short break from their caregiving tasks. Offer to visit with their loved one, while they go out for some "time off."
Currently, the Maryland Caregiver Support Coordinating Council has posted a Family Needs Survey that will be posted online through December 31. In order to get an accurate portrait of current caregiving needs statewide, caregivers can take the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/dhrcaregiver to answer questions about the care provided to loved ones, how caregiving has impacted their life and various needs as a family caregiver.
Caring for a loved one can be stressful, but there are resources to help. Contact Maryland Access Point (MAP) of Baltimore County at 410-887-2594 for information and assistance related to older adults and persons with disabilities.
Debbie Orlove, Community Business Liaison, Baltimore County Department of Aging
Starting to think about assisted living arrangements for yourself or an older resident? Wondering who offers rehabilitation services to persons with disabilities?

You may also phone either number above to request your copy of the directory by mail. County residents may request a copy by mail by calling 410-887-2594 and Baltimore City residents may call 410-396-2273.
How can the resource directory benefit you?
Community Resources 2014 contains the most vital and current information to support older adults, baby boomers, caregivers, families, adults with disabilities and professionals. The information in this expanded resource helps to empower consumer awareness along with informed decision making. The directory's diverse content now includes categories such as advocacy, Baltimore County and City Government services, financial resources, fitness centers, home health services, housing, legal services, memory care, nutrition sites, senior centers, pharmacies, physicians, travel and much more.
This year's Community Resources book also contains more information for adults with disabilities. The Baltimore County Department of Aging and Baltimore City Health Department's Office on Aging and CARE Services represents Adult and Disability Resource Centers known as Maryland Access Point (MAP) sites. For additional information or resources, you can always phone MAP in Baltimore County at 410-887-2594 or MAP in Baltimore City at 410-396-2273. People who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech disability can use Relay or 711.
Another valued feature of Community Resources 2014 is an extensive cross referencing which helps readers identify other potential categories where additional information may be found. For information on advocacy groups, organizations, caregiving, consumer information and resources, government agencies and more, please view the publication's Hotlines and Website section.
Online access especially helpful for out-of-town caregivers
For those Internet savvy consumers, the Department of Aging is proud to announce that Community Resources 2014 will also be available online. To view Community Resources on the Internet, visit www.baltimorecountymd.gov/communityresources. For those smartphone owners, please take advantage of the QR code on the cover of the publication for quick and easy access.
BCDA invites you to take this opportunity to pick up several complimentary copies of Community Resources 2014. We recommend that you keep one directory for yourself and distribute the additional copies to friends, caregivers, family members and professionals. Help educate and empower your loved ones and those in your community by guiding their path to resources in the region with Community Resources 2014 – your directory for living life.
For further information about Community Resources or to advertise in the 2015 directory, please call 410-887-2012 or e-mail email@example.com.

Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
Obama should just ship them tanker loads of all the algae biofuel that he promised in 2008. Or maybe loan them the White House Press Office for some of that hot flatulence that belches forth from Jay Carney every day.
Gotta love how the energy industry and the right tries to justify ecologically questionable methods of energy extraction, like Natural Gas fracking in the name of Energy Independence, while pushing for exemptions that would allow them to export more of our domestic energy to foreign nations. Such exemptions would just lead to an increase in domestic prices and increase our dependance on foreign energy.
Ideally, we should not be exporting any domestic energy resources unless and until we have been able to establish a long term domestic energy surplus with a high mix of renewable and safe nuclear energy.

Ferry tale
February 23, 2010
By Warren Kagarise
Vessel named for Issaquah overcomes early troubles to become fleet workhorse
Night descended hours earlier, when the weak, winter sun slunk behind the Olympic Mountains. Stragglers wait along Fauntleroy Cove; the afternoon rush ended long ago. The last commuters sit, impatient and weary, in vehicles, sealed behind steel and safety glass. Lines form and vehicles — mud-caked Subaru wagons, worn SUVs with stickers on the rear windows — inch into position. Destination: Vashon Island.
The ferry glides into view across Puget Sound. The hull carries the same name as a place 20 miles east: Issaquah.
The vessel matters little to the travelers; the Klahowya or the Tillikum could carry them home just the same.
Come daylight, the boxy Issaquah looks as unglamorous as a mail truck, with the same work ethic as a letter carrier — neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom keeps the ferry idle.
Darkness softens the hard edges, and the Issaquah looks handsome, even majestic. Light spills from the oblong windows and the open vehicle deck. Reflections glimmer across the dark water.
As the ferry approaches the West Seattle terminal, propellers churn the inky water into foam, like the frothy head on a glass of pilsner. The vessel nudges the dock, the ramp lowers and attendants in fluorescent gear direct vehicles from the maw. Not 20 minutes later, more cars, trucks and SUVs fill the hold.
The placid efficiency contrasts with the years in the Carter era when the Issaquah entered service and headlines blared problems aboard — and caused by — the ferry.
The ferry, and the other Issaquah-class vessels under construction at a Seattle shipyard in the late '70s, took a circuitous route from lemon to modern-day workhorse in the state fleet. Nowadays, the ferry Issaquah plies Puget Sound on regular runs from the Fauntleroy Terminal to Vashon Island and Southworth on the Kitsap Peninsula.
Lawmakers and the builders hurled sharp words at the other in the early days. The rhetoric ratcheted higher as Washington State Ferries yanked the vessels from service, inspected and repaired the ferries, only to remove the vessels from service again.
Reminders from the contentious early years remain: Crewmembers still refer to the vessels as "citrus class" ferries, a nod to the era when editorial cartoons and T-shirts derided the Issaquah as a proverbial lemon. The vessel debuted with unforeseen mechanical problems, spats between builders and officials, and troublesome safety questions.
"My mother would call me up and say, 'Do you know what you're doing down there?'" ships superintendent and welding supervisor Ralph Hansen recalled.
He worked at the Marine Power & Equipment shipyard, where the Issaquah class vessels took shape.
Before the maelstrom — accidents, lawsuits, angry letters to the editor — dignitaries set aside the unease to christen the Issaquah. Townspeople gathered at the Seattle shipyard to watch the ferry ease into the Duwamish River. Historian Harriet Fish walloped a bottle of champagne against the hull Dec. 29, 1979.
After the ceremony concluded, the boldface names and Issaquah residents left, and yard workers raised the vessel from the water for some last-minute construction.
Name game, blame game
Not long ago, a class of Port Townsend fourth-graders beat students in Chimacum and Whidbey Island to pick the name for the newest state ferry class: Kwa-di Tabil, or "little boat" in the Quileute language.
A celebration followed the announcement from the state Department of Transportation. Next came congratulations from Gov. Chris Gregoire. A commemorative plaque — delivered by the governor — should arrive within weeks.
The announcement recalled a push more than 30 years ago to name a vessel after Issaquah. The effort resulted in a ferry class named with words picked from native tongues: Issaquah, Kittitas, Kitsap, Cathlamet, Chelan, Sealth.
But the grade-school contest — tied to lessons about Pacific Northwest American Indians and Puget Sound maritime history — lacked the ironclad determination and political maneuvering behind the Issaquah effort.
Fish, then the Issaquah historian, spearheaded the endeavor to name a vessel in a planned ferry class for the Eastside city, and shepherded the necessary legislation through Olympia.
A Lake Washington ferry from the early 1900s also carried the name Issaquah, and townspeople conceived the drive to name a new ferry as part civic pride, part tribute to the bygone vessel.
Supporters marshaled students to collect innumerable signatures scrawled on petitions, City Council members to endorse the effort and residents to sit through legislative committee meetings. For the effort to succeed, city residents had to convince lawmakers to name a ferry for Issaquah.
The blitz worked: A state transportation bureaucrat told a Senate committee how he had never seen "such a tremendous outpouring of support" for a ferry name.
Legislators agreed, and designated the first vessel in a soon-to-be-launched ferry class as the Issaquah.
But the rollout of the new class proved nettlesome. Designers included advances — like computer technology and variable-pitch propellers built for maneuverability — in the new ferries. Although engineers hailed the systems as innovative, delays and public squabbles between the shipyard and state officials shoved the superlatives aside.
Chuck Fowler served as the state Department of Transportation public affairs administrator in the '70s. He handled a barrage of questions from reporters asking about the troubles with the Issaquah class.
"I think that the major problem was the use of variable-pitch propellers, the first application of this new technology on state ferries," he recalled. "There were some early ferry-meets-dock collisions, but they were explained as crews becoming familiar with the new technology and equipment."
The woes and high-profile missteps drew unwelcome attention to the largest ferry system in the United States. A cruise around Elliott Bay for state dignitaries ended after a gasket blew and the Issaquah limped into port alongside a tug. Accidents and computer glitches plagued the Issaquah-class vessels after the ferries entered service in the early '80s. The new ferries rammed docks and, another time, a vessel pulled away from a pier, dropping a — thankfully — unoccupied car into Puget Sound.
People called the new ferries unsafe. T-shirts emblazoned with "I Survived the Issaquah" appeared. The ringer tees depicted cartoon cars and passengers tumbling into the water, while seagulls recoiled from the scene.
Paul Zankich often faced a firing line from passengers and the news media back then. He designed the ferries, and served as chief engineer of the Marine Power & Equipment shipyard.
"People said I should get combat pay for what I was doing," Zankich said.
Former shipyard workers said some of the snags dissipated as ferry crews acclimated to the new systems. Tweaks ordered by DOT officials helped remedy problems, too.
"Once you're sitting at the helm and the controls are in your hand, that's where the buck stops," Hansen said.
A rising tide
Midmorning sunshine reveals the Issaquah as a leviathan — brawny and utilitarian, all noise and steel. The deck plates jostle beneath cars, trucks and Metro Transit buses, rumbling aboard in a careful choreography. Day-Glo-orange life rings and Zodiac lifeboats punctuate the hunter-green-and-white color scheme.
Nowadays, the Issaquah and its five sister vessels serve as workhorses in the state ferry fleet. Combined, the ferries haul about 18,500 passengers per day. The flagship Issaquah carries 2,751 people each day on trips from West Seattle to Vashon Island to Southworth and back again.
Built to carry 1,200 passengers, about 130 vehicles and almost as long as a football field, the Issaquah feels like a lonely place on midday crossings. The cavernous passenger deck sits almost empty. Below, on the vehicle deck, most of the passengers wait in cars, idle and still seat-belted in.
Aboard the Issaquah, Boatswain Greg Kruse keeps order on the vehicle deck, where loadings and unloadings unfold in a well-timed blur.
"Safety is our biggest concern," he said during a mid-January crossing.
The former charter boat captain wakes on workdays at 3:17 a.m. and leaves home in Ballard to reach the Fauntleroy Terminal by 4:25 a.m. On some days, the job rewards Kruse with postcard-perfect vistas: Mount Rainier to the south, the downtown Seattle skyline to the northeast, the Olympic Mountains to the west.
The passengers aboard include former Issaquah Councilman David Kappler, a frequent rider on the ferry. He boarded the vessel on a sun-splashed January day for the crossing to Vashon Island, where he has a house.
Kappler left his pickup on the vehicle deck, and then ambled upstairs to the passenger area. The longtime councilman eyed grainy reproductions of historic photographs depicting turn-of-the-20th-century Issaquah. Besides the photos, the ferry contains few connections to its namesake city.
Kappler, however, noted similarities between eco-savvy Issaquah and conservation-minded Vashon Island, and described the rural island as a locale where "people are proud to say the place is weird."
Despite dozens of trips to the island, he has never encountered notable, part-time residents Al Rossellini and Booth Gardner — former governors who spend summers there.
Capt. David Wilson joined the state ferry service about the same time the Issaquah-class vessels entered service. On most days, he guides the Issaquah from pilothouses at each end of the ferry.
"If you cut the ferry in half, you'd be hard-pressed to know which end is which," Wilson said.
The vessel sails Puget Sound at about 17 knots, or 20 mph. Upgrades, like radar and global-positioning technology, have alleviated some of the navigation concerns about fog and bad weather.
"It's not a real stressful situation like it was in the old days," Wilson said.
The ferry's design — so maligned when the Issaquah-class vessels entered service — also withstood the wear and tear of the decades. The state even plans to build new 144-vehicle ferries based on the Issaquah-class design. The new ferries could enter service as early as 2014, state budgets permitting.
Consider the decision as belated vindication for Zankich, the designer of the Issaquah class and West Seattle resident who lives not far from Fauntleroy Cove. On a clear day, he can look outside and watch the Issaquah sail from the mainland to Vashon Island with workmanlike efficiency.

Update: West Seattle Outdoor Movies crowd braves rain during 'Up'August 21, 2010 at 7:34 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle Outdoor Movies | 1 Comment
FIRST AS-IT-HAPPENED UPDATE AT 7:34 PM: Still some room in the courtyard by Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (WSB sponsor) for tonight's West Seattle Outdoor Movies presentation of "Up," starting at dusk – second to last movie of the season (this was scheduled to be the grand finale, but "Star Trek" was rained out two weeks ago, so it was rescheduled for next Saturday). Speaking of rain, yes, we know clouds are moving in, but Hotwire's Lora Lewis has been watching the forecast all day and so far it looks like any rain won't arrive till very late – cross your fingers. If you're coming, bring a few bucks for the raffle, raising money tonight for Family Promise of Seattle (which has had to put its homeless-families-sheltering work "on hiatus" as first reported here). FP's Laura Bermes talked to the crowd briefly about the agency's mission and hopes of reopening:
Looks like there's also still some burgers/dogs left at the free barbecue presented by West Seattle Christian Church/Preschool, if you get here fast!
POST-MOVIE NOTE AT 10:08 PM: Though it started sprinkling shortly after the movie began, and escalated for a while into a steady shower (concurrent with a thunderstorm scene onscreen!), the movie continued to its conclusion (by which time the rain had stopped). Dozens of hardy moviegoers pulled up their sweaters, or even popped up an umbrella, and stayed. Lora thinks that might be the first time in her years of overseeing the movie series that rain didn't stop the show. The projector was manned as usual by WSCC pastor Dan Jacobs, who managed to put up a rain shield (leading, toward the movie's end, to a "danger, projector is overheating" onscreen warning, quickly dealt with) and kept things running. Be there next Saturday night for the rescheduled "Star Trek," and think clear skies!

Technical Abstract: Constructed wetlands are being considered as components of alternative technologies for animal wastewater treatment. An investigation was initiated to determine the effectiveness of using constructed wetlands to treat swine wastewater and to provide recommendations for their design. The constructed wetlands were effective in treating Total Nitrogen and Ammonia-N with treatment efficiencies >75%. They were not as effective in treatment of Total Phosphorus. Design parameters were calculated based on first-order area-based uptake equations. First-order area-based rate constants were calculated and found to be in close agreement with those in the literature.

After decades of research, vaginal microbicides that prevent HIV infection are on the horizon. To fulfill their medical promise, a Rhode Island researcher says users' sexual pleasure must be considered.
PROVIDENCE, Rhode, Island (WOMENSENEWS)--Participants in Kate Morrow's recent study may not have felt like they were fighting the global HIV epidemic.
In fact, what they were literally feeling were gels of various consistencies inside their vaginas.
The women in Morrow's Project LINK answered questions after handling the gels, inserting them vaginally, walking around and simulating intercourse with a fake phallus. Did the gel leak out? Did it inhibit the experience . . . or did they actually enjoy it?
Morrow has developed a set of scales to show the range of sensations and experiences women reported. Her goal now is to connect those sensations to data about which gels women would use to prevent HIV. Do they prefer gels that are smooth, thin or thick like hair gel? The answers to those questions could help lead to a microbicide that women will tolerate--and perhaps even enjoy.
For decades, women's health advocates have known that women need a way to protect themselves from HIV that is not dependent on a male partner. Vaginal microbicide gels are among an array of options--including pills, rectal microbicides and vaginal rings--that may one day help. Advocates hope microbicides could even be combined with birth control and help prevent other sexually-transmitted illnesses.
That call is urgent today, with women worldwide making up just over half of new HIV infections among people over 15 in 2009, according to the most recent data from UNAIDS.
In the United States, 23 percent of people newly infected with HIV in 2009 were women. Black women were disproportionately affected, becoming infected at 15 times the rate of white women, and more than three times that of Hispanic/Latina women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In sub-Saharan Africa, 60 percent of people living with HIV are women and girls, and young women ages 15-24 are as many as eight times more likely to be HIV positive than men, according to UNAIDS. Of those living with HIV worldwide in 2009, 34 percent lived in 10 countries in southern Africa.
Researchers knew when they began creating microbicide gels that women could insert vaginally to prevent HIV that acceptability was a key question. If women weren't willing to use them, the products wouldn't work.
So Morrow, a staff psychologist at the Miriam Hospital here and an associate professor of research at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University, has been studying the nitty-gritty aspects of acceptability.
Funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, Project LINK began in 2006 and has examined about 350 women's experiences of vaginal gels--none of which actually contained drugs. Data collection is complete and Morrow hopes to have results in the next year.
Those results could help determine what properties would make women willing--or even eager--to use a vaginal microbicide.
But there is no simple answer. Women's responses to the gel could depend on how old they are, where they are in their menstrual cycles or whether they are bothered by things like leakage and stickiness.
"How do I make this product feel good enough--or not feel like anything--such that women can use it without interrupting their normal day-to-day sexual lives? Or could it actually make their sexual lives better?" asked Morrow.
Studying pleasure is not something Morrow does for fun. She sees it as a "medical necessity" for preventing the spread of HIV. Even a partially-effective microbicide that is pleasant enough to gain wide use could dramatically reduce new infections. And a highly effective microbicide that women refuse to use won't work at all.

Expect turnpike plea deals
The Turnpike Commission has long been the home of scandals, but nothing in recent history compares to the high-octane corruption case pending against agency officials, an ex-lawmaker and vendors in a so-called "pay to play" scheme that allegedly awarded contracts based on campaign donations and gifts.
All eight defendants are innocent in the eyes of the law until proven guilty. But if history is any indication — if the results of this prosecution by the Attorney General's Office resemble others — most of those charged will cut deals in exchange for their testimony. That happened in the Democrats' legislative bonus scandal and a computer-related case against Republicans that dwarfed the bonus money. By my count, eight defendants in the Democrat case pleaded guilty and seven Republicans did. Many got probation rather than jail time.
Every prosecution is different, so there is no way to be certain of similar results in the turnpike case.
One defendant, former Senate Democratic Leader Bob Mellow, is serving a 16-month federal sentence, essentially for using state tax money for campaigns. He is 70. He faces nine charges in the turnpike case, from commercial bribery to bid-rigging.
What does a senator have to do with the Turnpike Commission? Because commission members, appointed by the governor, need Senate confirmation, certain key senators, notably then-Sen. Vincent Fumo, D-Philadelphia, exerted considerable influence at the agency. The turnpike and its contractors were a "cash cow" for campaign money, the grand jury charged.
The contract largess and patronage was split 60-40 between Democrats, in power at the time, and Republicans, the grand jury said.
Fumo's man, Mitchell Rubin, was turnpike chairman. He is on federal probation following a guilty plea to obstruction of justice related to the Fumo prosecution.
Fumo is serving a 61-month federal sentence on complex fraud charges after his 2009 conviction by a jury on 137 counts.
Defendant Rubin is 61. Former turnpike CEO Joe Brimmeier of Ross faces nine charges; he's 64. Jeffrey Suzenski of Pottstown, a consultant to a turnpike vendor, faces one count of "restricted activities." He's 63.
No disrespect intended, but these are old men. People in their 80s might disagree, but Medicare is available to those 65 or older, Social Security (on a reduced basis) at 62.
Defendant Melvin Shelton, a former turnpike employee, is 81. Another defendant and ex-employee, Raymond Zajicek, is 67.
No one — for sure, no one over 60 — wants to go to prison.
I'll say it one more time. They are all innocent until proven guilty.
But the talk in Capitol hallways is that some of these defendants, perhaps younger ones as well, may beat a path to the Attorney General's Office to cut a deal. Then the question becomes: Whom will they give up?

From The Search Engine Report
Dec. 4, 2000
The Holy Grail of image searching is to actually "see" what images are about, rather than understanding them based only on the words appearing around them. A new generation of multimedia search tools aims to change this. In particular, Ereo, Cobion and LookThatUp.com are all companies with new products touted to truly see inside images and recognize patterns efficiently.
To understand the importance of this, consider a traditional image search tool, such as what AltaVista runs. If you use its image search and look for "eagles," you'll get pictures of eagles or graphics with the word "eagles" in them. However, AltaVista didn't retrieve these pictures because it could recognize what an eagle looks like or because it could read the text inside an image.
Instead, AltaVista (and most crawler-based image search engines) remain mostly blind to what the actual image shows. Instead, they rely on the words that appear around the image or in the file name of the image to understand its content. So, pictures with the word "eagles" in the file name or pictures that appear on web pages that make use of the word "eagles" in the HTML text give AltaVista the clues it needs to display results.
Since this is guesswork, it's not surprising that an image search may miss what you are looking for. In contrast, the new crop of products aims to use both surrounding text and an analysis of the image file itself to determine what is relevant. Interestingly, none of these new companies is trying to launch an image search service on their own. Instead, they plan to partner with those who may have image search requirements -- either large portals and search engines, vertical portals or even those with visual intranet content that needs to be indexed.
In addition to Ereo, Cobion and LookThatUp.com, I've also noted a few other interesting companies doing recent work in the multimedia space worth watching.
Ereo just landed a deal to power Excite's web-wide multimedia search service, plus Ereo says that relevant image and multimedia finds may be integrated into Excite's regular search results. The joint service is set to go live in the first quarter of next year. In addition to providing web-wide image search for portals, Ereo is also applying its technology to those with media collections that need an indexing solution, as with its just announced deal with Minden Pictures.
The Start-up: A story of dot-com survival
Denver Post, July 30, 2000
Long article discussing the launch of Ereo and touching on the technological issues involved in extracting information from images to improve search.
Cobion is another new company that has launched image scanning services. These are being primarily targeted at those with brand protection needs. Coupled with Cobion's web crawling, it's designed to help ferret out unauthorized use of logos and other trademarked symbols. Cobion's technology is also being positioned as a filtering tool. For example, it could help detect pornographic images on pages that are pretending to be about innocent topics. Finally, Cobion is also available as a regular image search engine. In contrast to Ereo and LookThatUp.com, Cobion is also attempting to extract any words it finds within images, rather than primarily sticking to pattern recognition.
LookThatUp.com introduced its image search products last month at Internet World in New York. As with Cobion, LookThatUp.com is pushing its technology as a filtering tool. And, similar to Ereo, it suggests that by letting people upload an image of what they want, or clicking on a image (such as a lamp or a couch), more matching products can be found by looking for similar images. Finally, LookThatUp.com offers its technology for those needing an image search tool.
Launched in 1999, like Cobion, ImageLock is aimed to recognize unauthorized use of logos and copyrighted materials. A client's content is "fingerprinted," then ImageLock's spider watches content across the web for unauthorized use of the fingerprinted materials.
Originally launched as a standalone image search engine, Ditto made a position change earlier this year to distribute its results to other partners. It currently provides image search results to NBCi and Go2Net's MetaCrawler and Dogpile meta search services. You can still search for images directly at Ditto's own site, but it now it is more a showcase for its technology than aimed at consumers.
Taalee has been primarily focusing on those with audio-visual search needs. It will index multimedia content and understand what it is about by the associated text it finds on the page and from any meta data that may be provided along with the content. When users search, it also goes beyond the actual search words to include related concepts or meanings that may not have been specified. This semantic expansion of search queries is also something Taalee will apply to those needing more traditional text-based search.
Launched earlier this year, SingingFish.com has developed what it claims to be the largest index of MP3 and streaming media files. Its first portal partners are supposed to be announced later this month.

In a bid to spur collaboration among providers, ambulatory electronic health record developer eClinicalWorks has launched Join The Network, a peer-to-peer communications platform that officials say will enable physicians to connect with each other, irrespective of the EHR they use.
[See also: eClinicalWorks and its clients make use of independent advice forum]
With some 10,000 physicians already part of the network, eClinicalWorks officials say the firm is investing an additional $10 million over the next year to further expand the platform and connect physician practices, whether they're using EHRs or are still paper-based.
"We are making this investment because we believe that optimal physician collaboration is central to improving EHR adoption and enhancing point of care decision making which then improves patient care," eClinicalWorks CEO Girish Navani tells Healthcare IT News.
[See also: eClinicalWorks tapped for prison-based EHRs]
"There are many technologies in the market, but few that promote a peer-to-peer form of health information exchange," he adds. "An open, secure network will help move the industry forward."
One impetus behind Join The Network is that medical practices are getting "wired behind walls," say eClincialWorks officials. Even those who have deployed EHR systems aren't often communicating with each other, and fax machines still have too big a role transfering patient records and coordinating patient care.
This new initiative uses a network to share clinical information between providers, regardless of what EHR they're using. The system-neutral solution allows the open, electronic transfer of records between any healthcare provider.
"One challenge I face as a physician is being able to collaborate with other providers on a patient's treatment plan or evaluation in a way that is secure, but efficient and ensures accuracy," says Bradley Block, MD, of Block, Nation, Chase & Smolen Family Medicine from Oviedo, Fla., in an eClinicalWorks press release. "With this peer-to-peer network, we have built a large community of providers that was simple to create and grow."
Join The Network will be compatible with Direct Project protocols. Through those capabilities, eClinicalWorks officials say members can connect with providers; send electronic referrals to other providers along with demographic and insurance information; transmit patient record with attachments such as progress notes, lab results and medical summaries; automatically receive recommended providers within a 10 mile radius; find providers using a member-specified radius and specialty; build personal address books and more.
While Navani concedes that $10 million is "a lot of money," he doesn't seem too concerned about reaping immediated ROI.

I hold long positions in both Prophecy Platinum and Prophecy Coal. I don't think that there is any good reason to wait to update the Resource Estimate until the results of the 2013 drilling season are in. Why would you spend $6.5 million on drilling 11,000 meters, get better than expected results, and then NOT spend a little more money and get a new Resource Estimate? Don't they WANT a higher share price when they do the next financing? I think we should all call or e-mail anybody we know at Prophecy Platinum and demand that they do a new Resource Estimate right away. Here are a few ways to contact them, from the website and previous posts:
