Gronerium compound 3983 was a hypergolic monopropellant. This explosive was used in ullage thruster devices and emergency jettison thrusters. The compound had a shelf life in excess of 10 standard years without a significant deteoritation in performance. In 2367, this explosive was stored on aboard the Federation starship USS Enterprise-D.
In that year, Gronerium compound 3983 was on a list of explosives that Lieutenant Commander Data and Counselor Deanna Troi searched through in an attempt to find one that could produce enough energy to release the USS Enterprise-D and an alien ship from the Tyken's Rift. (TNG: "Night Terrors")
This compound was mentioned in graphics created for the remastered episode.

A must have in gluten free baking :)
Posted by Reviewer1072897 on Mar 02, 2012
I've used this together with Bob's Red Mill gluten free all purpose flour, and it makes the texture awesome and fluffy!
Posted by Reviewer2947678 on Feb 20, 2012
Since my child has PKU and has to use special flour, it really helps me in baking cookies - they don't break apart so easily. I think it would work for gluten free baking as well.
wonderful for the gluten free diet
Posted by Reviewer2344847 on Feb 01, 2012
It wasn't until I started using this that I could enjoy a homemade pizza and bread again. Great stuff, need to know how to use it....after yeast has bubbled, mix into gluten free flour of choice, plenty of water and stir very quickly as it does have a liquid cement like quality.
great products
Posted by Reviewer3234154 on Feb 01, 2012

Scout.com: Ranking the 2008 Head Coaches
77. Gene Chizik, Iowa State Chizik is an ace as a defensive coordinator, but can he excel as the head man? His first season in Ames produced just three wins, but itll take a couple of years and recruiting classes before an accurate reading of his potential can be made.</p>

Really hard to argue against this point. We all think he's doing great things, and we saw the program turn a little bit last year, but in the grand scheme of things he hasn't done anything yet.

Yeah, they kind of lose credibility with me when they do that. If they haven't been head coach yet, you can't really put them in this discussion. He shouldn't even be in the list.

Report: NY AG seeks new BofA-Merrill depositions
Saturday, July 2, 2011
NEW YORK (AP) — New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is not backing off a civil fraud probe into whether Bank of America deliberately misled shareholders about the massive losses on Merrill Lynch's books before its 2008 purchase of the investment bank.
The NY AG, who took over from Andrew Cuomo this year, has subpoenaed Bank of America Corp. CEO Brian Moynihan and other executives of the Charlotte, N.C.-based bank seeking new depositions, The Wall Street Journal reported online late Friday, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter.
A spokeswoman for the New York AG's office declined to comment.
A Bank of America spokesman was not immediately able to be reached for comment. The bank has said that the charges are unfounded.

7 editing secrets of retro photography
7. Add borders
There are several ways to complete the effect with a retro border. To add a Polaroid-style border, grab the Rounded Rectangle tool and set the Radius to about 40px in the Options bar, then drag a rectangle over your image to add a shape layer.
Cmd/Ctrl+click the shape layer's vector mask thumbnail in the Layers Panel to load a selection of the shape then go to Select>Inverse.
Next, hide the shape layer and create a new layer. Go to Edit>Fill and choose Use: White or select any colour that you like.
You can use the Stroke command to add a simple black border. Make a new layer then press Cmd/Ctrl+A to select all. Go to Edit>Stroke and set a width such as 50px.
Choose a border colour then set Location: Inside and hit OK. For rough edges, click the Add Layer Mask icon then grab the Brush tool and choose a rough brush from the Brush Preset picker.
Load in brush sets by clicking the icon at the top right of the picker. Wet Media Brushes work well.
Paint with black around the edges to rough up the border, varying brush tip size and brush Opacity as you go.

November 1, 2003
By Barry Schiff
Retired TWA captain Barry Schiff holds all seven instructor ratings.
AOPA inaugurated Project Pilot in 1994. This program was designed to encourage members to nominate as potential pilots persons they know who have the inclination, maturity, and means to undertake flight training. Such members would act as mentors — not instructors — and offer support and encouragement during the flight-training period.
The ultimate purpose of Project Pilot was and still is to bolster interest in general aviation. In 1980, there were 827,071 active pilots, but in the year before Project Pilot, there were only 665,069 pilots, almost a 20-percent decline. Project Pilot has helped to stem the tide such that the pilot population is now stable. (It is a tribute to AOPA's leadership that membership recently topped 400,000 at a time when the pilot population is flat.)
AOPA President Phil Boyer invited me to serve as the national mentor during the first full year of Project Pilot. I accepted eagerly because it would give me a unique opportunity to return to aviation some of what aviation has given to me.
I did not have a mentor when I began flying as a 14-year-old in 1952. My parents were adamantly opposed to their oldest son learning to fly. They wanted me to become a doctor or a lawyer. I forged my mother's signature on my application for a student pilot certificate and worked during every spare hour to accumulate the coins needed to buy flying time. In 1952, an hour of dual instruction in an Aeronca Champion cost $11. Sound inexpensive? At that time, I had to work 22 hours to earn that much money. It was not until I was hired by TWA in 1964 as a "Connie" copilot that I ultimately gained my parents' approval.
I did have a mentor, though, but I did not meet him until after I got my private pilot certificate in 1955 and was working on the line at Bell Air Service at the Santa Monica airport in California. Paul Blackman kept his North American Navion there, and my relationship with that magnificent machine consisted only of towing it in and out of the community hangar, pumping fuel into the wing tanks, and cleaning the windshield. To me, there was nothing more alluring in the world than that immaculate Navion (N5227K). Its sleek lines and sliding canopy reminded me of the airplane after which it had been designed, the North American P-51. (This would be as close as I would get to flying a Mustang.)
Blackman had been a bomber pilot during World War II and afterward became an executive in the meat-packing business.
"Barry," he asked one day, "if I checked you out in my Navion, would you fly one of my cattle buyers to Visalia this weekend?" It was a rhetorical question, and Blackman knew it.
Transitioning from an Aeronca Champ to a Navion was a giant leap. This was a big, heavy airplane. It had a hydraulic system and a panel so loaded with gadgets that it made me feel as though I were in the cockpit of an airliner.
After some maneuvering, Blackman had me level off at 7,500 feet over the Los Angeles Basin. During that smooth, rock-solid flight, he turned to me and said that he thought I could hold 7,500 feet just as easily as I was holding 7,600. Blackman had no tolerance for sloppiness.
During a subsequent flight, he feigned sleeping in the right seat, and every once in a while would blurt out, "I felt that." Blackman had golden hands, and he expected others to manipulate the controls with equal finesse. "You should never feel what a pilot does with an airplane," he would teach. "There's nothing we can do about a gust knocking down a wing, but raising the wing doesn't have to be matched by the pilot with equal vigor. It's not how quickly you restore attitude as long as you get it moving in the right direction."
Blackman taught me a great deal about flying and patiently nurtured and molded me into a decent pilot.
That weekend I flew Blackman's cattle buyer to Visalia. His name was Harry Abdul. Eight years later, he and his wife would have a baby girl who eventually became famous as song-and-dance sensation Paula Abdul. Little did Harry know that his 17-year-old pilot had only 120 hours in rag-covered, taildragging trainers and was commanding the Navion for the first time.
Blackman taught me that a pilot performs best when you show confidence in him, something that some airline captains do not seem to understand. During my years as a co-pilot for TWA, I discovered that captains with the most confidence in their own abilities instilled the most confidence in their first officers; those not as confident have difficulty trusting the skills of their copilots.
As the years passed, Blackman's and my roles became transposed. He relied on me to provide him with advice during flight reviews and instrument proficiency checks. It seemed so strange teaching him techniques that he could not remember having taught me so very long ago.
Every pilot should have a mentor during the formative years of his flying career, someone to provide support and encouragement. A special gratification comes from helping someone to reach a goal. Blackman played no small role in helping me to reach mine, and I will be forever grateful. Thanks, Paul.

Truly an Honor: Kirk Douglas Visits SFJFFSubmitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2011-07-28 14:57
Last Sunday afternoon those in attendance at the SFJFF's 50th Anniversary screening of Spartacus at the Castro Theatre were treated to a memorable appearance by Hollywood legend and all-around class act, Kirk Douglas, as he accepted the Festival's Freedom of Expression Award. The 94 year-old arrived at noon on Sunday by private jet, and as Executive Director Peter Stein pointed out, was "spry" as ever. By 1PM, Douglas was climbing onto the stage in sneakers, with a magnetic smile and plenty of energy for the assembled audience of more than 1,000. Douglas accepted the award -- which recognized not only his body of work but specifically his actions in breaking the Hollywood Blacklist 50 years ago by giving full credit to blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo -- with a short speech in which he said that "freedom of expression [is] the most important aspect of our democracy."
Though his speech is impaired from a stroke suffered 15 years ago, Kirk Douglas is still extremely articulate, witty and well-versed in winning over a crowd; "Once a heart-throb, always a heart-throb" was HuffPo blogger Jennifer Raiser's summation of the event. After his speech, Douglas sat down for a candid and topical on-stage interview with SFJFF Executive Director Peter L. Stein in which he suggested that at times there was "too much religion," citing a meeting of Orthodox Rabbis with Irani president Ahmadinejad. Douglas left the theater before the 3-hour screening of Spartacus, telling the audience that he would stay, but he had "already seen the picture." He blew a kiss to the Castro Theatre crowd, took the time to shake the hands of adoring audience-members, and was gone.
Footage of Douglas' appearance can be seen on SFJFF YouTube channel. If, like us, you can't get enough of the dashing 94 year-old, check out our short film homage to the man in The Big Story.

Missing The Old Scout
February 24, 2011 | 8 Comments
To: GK
Do you have any plans to resume writing The Old Scout? I miss it terribly!
-Cindy McDaniel
Arlington, IN
I took a vacation from the weekly newspaper column last summer because it was chewing up my Mondays and part of my Tuesdays. Like everyone who ever ventured into newspaper columnizing, I figured on the job being easy, like mowing a lawn, and instead it turned out to be like hanging wallpaper. In other words, maddening. I had a 750-word limit and wanted to carve a light-hearted essay in that space that could range from the political to personal history to the doings of my sandy-haired daughter, but never quite got the hang of it, I'm afraid, and meanwhile was spending a lot of hours deleting and rewriting. I'd like to resume the column someday, and see if I can find the tone I was looking for. It's all about tone, or voice. Once you find it, you can write in the dark.
8 Comments
I really miss the Old Scout Column.
I met you in Greenville NC, at East Carolina University over a year ago and it was one of the most memorable moments of my life. An introduction to you was a birthday gift from my sister.
I have gone to have a weekly newspaper column of my own in our local newspaer in the hometown which I live, Statesville, NC.
I hope you can find it in your schedule to resume the Old Scout column. Take care.
You know of my remorse over losing The Old Scout. I've expressed it before. Your articles dovetailed so sweetly with both the Writer's Almanac and portions of the live show that I was able to feel quite 'linked' with your weekly thought processes. But, life has to be pared to a happy balance. Last summer's Summer Love tour and the plethora of inspired regular PHC shows keep on giving. I'm still hoping to join you for either the street dance or one of your many special events. Ice fishing...now that would have fit the bill!
Thanks for all the joy.
Dear GK,
Try, perhaps, a column once a month. your voice is important, and it would be better to have it infrequently than not at all.
And your daughter will want the effort, both now and later.
Take care of yourself.
A few days after dropping my kids off for summer camp last year, I sat in a diner reading an Old Scout column about your own experiences with camp. You so captured all of my motherly hopes and fears so well that I wept openly into my chicken noodle soup...it was the strangest feeling of being totally exposed and lovingly comforted at the same time. You make me feel so human.
I get it, but like the other readers, I miss the Old Scout too. If once a week is too much, once in a while would work for me! You set the frequency and we'll read along. I started reading it right during your columns about the then-Current Occupant.
Anyway, if anyone can find their voice, it's you!
Want to say Thank You.
I second the other commenters' wishes. If not weekly, just come back periodically. I was introduced to your always thought provoking posts about life on the back essay pages of Time magazine many years ago. Couldn't you start with something like that? Shoot, all those magazines need a shot in the arm anyways and a viewpoint form a different angle. No one has your voice. We all miss those columns.
Often I will pull up a column - the Nebraska angel caring for the Latino boys in NYC is a good example - for inspiration. (Not sure whether you would be shocked or gratified to know how often your words have led to a sermon.) Although like listening to a previous show it's almost as good as a fresh experience, it's nice to imagine the Old Scout reappearing now & then, here or there. Hey, the Cleveland Indians swept the Red Sox so who's to say never?

Achievement / Trophy Unlocked
- Cutting Room Floor (5 points / Bronze): Complete the "Cinema Verite" side quest.
Cinéma Vérité Side Quest Guide
Starting Location: Chastain Heights, the movie theater on Lamon Street.
Prerequisite: None
Best Starting Point: Just as you arrive in Chastain Heights.
- Find the theater just west of the Centennial Building. Inside, your quest will begin. You'll need to find some film reels, then play them.
- Inside the Lobby, you can find the first film either at the coat check or in a back room behind the concession stand. The second film can be found in the bathroom, or in a small room right near the projection room. The last film is in the storage right of the projector room.
- When you enter the projector room, you'll have a new objective: find the replacement bulb. On easy, you can find a bulb inside a storage room at the back of the theater. Otherwise you'll need to leave and find the hardware store east of the Monastery, the bulb is on a shelf behind the register.
- Return to the projector and use the bulb. You'll find some clues to an access code, but the number you need to input is 9241.
- You'll need to find one last reel. Enter the last unexplored room and use the three film reels on the film splicer to create a single film reel. Put the new film onto the projector, then run down and walk through the image.
- Inside the movie, enter the house ahead. Past the staircase, search the left room to find a crank in the window. Leave, and head down the hallway to find a larger room with a jack-in-the-box inside. Use the crank and turn it until the present opens. Inside, you'll find a key.
- Take the key, and climb the ladder in the same room taking you up to the attic and a locked crate. Use your key to unlock the crate and you'll be rewarded with the Golden Gun, a very powerful pistol.
- Leave the film and return to the theater to complete the quest.

SAN DIEGO -- Already the undisputed king of hoops in California, the No. 18 San Diego State Aztecs finished off San Diego County on Tuesday night.
Xavier Thames scored 17 points and Chase Tapley added 15 as San Diego State beat Point Loma Nazarene 76-49, the Aztecs' ninth straight victory since losing the season opener to No. 3 Syracuse.
The Aztecs (9-1) did just fine without leading scorer Jamaal Franklin, who sat out with a back injury.
The Aztecs won their 29th straight game against teams from California, a streak that includes victories against UCLA and Southern Cal earlier this season.
They also made it a clean sweep of San Diego-area schools. They've beaten San Diego, San Diego Christian, and, in exhibition games, Cal State San Marcos and UC San Diego.
The Aztecs weren't particularly sharp in the first half, leading only 35-30 at intermission.
SDSU coach Steve Fisher said he told counterpart Bill Carr that he thought the Sea Lions "played terrific basketball in the first half -- and probably played better than we did. He said that it's the best they've played all season. I think it was not us being bad but them being good."
San Diego State now heads to Hawaii for the Diamond Head Classic. The Aztecs' first game is against San Francisco on Saturday.
The game was considered an exhibition for Point Loma, which is in the process of moving from NAIA to Division II. Taylor Wetherell led the Sea Lions with 10 points.
"I thought we controlled the tempo for a long stretch there," Carr said. "We guarded them OK. They missed some easy ones. That helped us. I thought our guys did a good job of controlling tempo, and when they had an open shot, they shot it with confidence. That was something we were struggling with."
Already leading by 15, the Aztecs scored eight points in 1:06 to extend the lead to 69-46 with 4:08 to go. Thames and Tapley had consecutive 3-pointers, and Tapley stole the ball and fed James Johnson for a dunk. Johnson, a transfer from Virginia, was making his Aztecs debut.
"That team in the other locker room is really good," Carr said. "You make a mistake, and they're on you for a seven-, eight-point run like that. That's hard to play against."
The Aztecs let the Sea Lions hang around for most of the first half.
San Diego State finally got a double-digit lead when Tapley hit 3-pointers on consecutive possessions to make it 45-33 with 15:51 to play.
San Diego State opened with a 9-0 run, capped by two free throws by Tapley after Point Loma coach Bill Carr was whistled for a technical for complaining about a foul.
That seemed to inspire the Sea Lions, who answered with a 7-0 run, including a layup and 3-pointer by Oivind Lundestad.
Fisher said Franklin couldn't get his back loose before the game and that the injury might stem from a hamstring injury.
"If we had played a conference game, we probably would have played him, but we felt it was in our best interests that he not play," he said.
Fisher also said LaBradford Franklin, no relation to Jamaal Franklin, didn't suit up due to a family issue and will also miss the Hawaii trip.

Turkish-KRG Energy Relations: An Assessment
ANALYSIS, Turkey Analyst, Volume 6, No. 2, January 30 2013.
Much is made of the grand strategy of the Turkish-Kurdish energy puzzle, particularly by those focused on the geopolitical concept of Turkey as post-Cold War Europe's energy 'hub' – a role which has had increasing prominence since the nascence of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline in the early 1990s. However, at the heart of the matter is something more pressing – Turkey's need to find sustainable and secure energy to perpetuate its decade-long growth-spurt. This is supported by Ankara's desire to turn its infrastructure, and Istanbul's financial markets, into a sophisticated regional energy trading centre.

Ever since the New York Times launched word that Google TV will likely become a reality last week, the concept of convergent media has suddenly become a mass meme rather than a tech meme… and probably done more good for IPTV and the blossoming worlds of Social TV, tCommerce, TV Widgets, TV recommendation engines, TV Everywhere, TV 2.0, and opt-in TV advertising than any single event in this emerging landscape.
The TV deal between Google, Sony, Logitech and Intel which flooded the media zeitgeist last week was a perfect riposte to the other news that Facebook topped Google for the week ending March 13th with 7.07 per cent of all Internet traffic for that week, while Google.com got 7.03 per cent.
Sony looks set to rollout new Intel 'chipped' TV sets, while Google will make available set-top-boxes (STB)'s – and both will be powered by tiny keyboards built by Logitech. Makes perfect sense.
And what punter would not want an affordable Google Set Top Box (STB) with new cool Logitech remote that does stuff, so he can search his TV and do other cool things? Or just buy a new Sony LCD wall screen that does the same thing – sans the STB?
Probably the most exciting news for me is the fact that the New TV platform will be based on Android, and will remain Open Source. That means all code will be transparent, available and open to change and suggestions and managed by a core team… unlike the iPhone, Facebook and Yahoo Connected TV developer communities which offer a slice of code to allow developers to develop applications via Application Programming Interface (API)'s or Software Development Kit (SDK)'s.
Bear in mind, any external or 3rd party development has to meet stringent standards for the TV market.
There are some rumours that the platform may have Chrome browser capabilities and even rumblings of a deal with Hulu in the future.
And the major global TV networks and media centers of power? Look for their already crumbling influence to be even more diminished. TV, which has been the mainstream media's core tool to for swaying us to one or another of their movies, music stars, books, politicians, brands and whatever they get paid to make us like, will be in decline. And, to perhaps the chagrin of a few parties, the TV will continue to democratize and will follow the web with many to many rather than one to many. Publically owned broadcasters listed on the NYSE are in, what seems to be, a never-ending spiral of contraction, which is disastrous for shareholders.
Google is obviously more known for its search technology than their weaker portfolio of social media products (Wave, Orkut, and more recently Buzz in Gmail), and undoubtedly, most consumers that are now mulling over the idea of Google on their TV are enticed by the idea that perhaps it will become much easier to wade through the ever-increasing number of channels available … perhaps Google will offer a search engine like they do online? Or maybe even a better organizational structure – a directory of sorts?
Searchable TV is why Google is currently testing its technology with Dish Networks… and probably why they will be the future of the Electronic Program Guide (EPG).
Some analysts are skeptical about Google's latest plan to expand; noting their previous attempts to enter the TV, radio, and print advertising markets were all dismal failures.
However, I disagree. And here's why.
Try out another scenario… one which no one else could do in this space. No one.
Google is currently allowing advertisers to use their innovative and very fresh Google TV advertising platform to launch TV ad spots in US cable markets.
Google TV Ads is an online marketplace that makes it easy for anyone to buy and measure national cable television advertising. Using the familiar Adwords interface, you can launch a television campaign in minutes.
This means, in Google's new ubiquitous, massive TV realm, I could simply buy time slots or even permanent space on for programs or channels in the future of Google TV.
Why two? Time slots for more linear TV experiences such as a classic 30 second spot, using an 'old school' non- elective, interruptive, advertising model.
I could buy elective (opt in and opt out) landscape around particular program for TV Widgets for shows or even entire channels. It might be a custom widget built in Android or could even be some kind of Chrome extension. It could be Contextual Advertising based on the show's content, it could be Behavioral Targeting based on the viewer's preferences and habits, it could be Location Based Advertising (LBA), based on the viewer's lat and long via IP, or it could be Experience Marketing (full fledged TV experiences).
I think this is what Google has in mind. And I for one… think it's going to work.

Just ran across this post wanted to comment. Google TV is definitely going to change the game on how we watch TV and surf the net. I use Google TV and I have to say that it is pretty neat. I work at DISH so when it came out I was curious about it. I tried it out and the features blew me away, I have been hooked ever since then. I like how I could tab back and forth and use different apps then go right back to my TV. I can do all this right from my sofa, the wireless keyboard is awesome.

Coroner Identifies Man Killed On Scooter Who Crashed Into Santa Monica Police Cruiser
Posted Apr. 9, 2014, 9:32 am
Brenton Garen / Editor-in-Chief
Thirty-year-old Walter James, of Highland, has been identified by the Los Angeles County Coroner's office as the man killed on a 2013 motor scooter on Saturday morning after a collision with a Santa Monica Police Department Cruiser.
James was on a scooter headed east on Pico when he reportedly ran a red light and collided with a SMPD cruiser that was traveling north on Fourth Street.
The collision happened at 7:40 am at the intersection of Pico Boulevard and Fourth Street.
James was pronounced dead at a hospital while the officer suffered moderate injuries and also transported to a hospital for treatment.

Anyone see the accident? From the debris in the photo, it looks more like the cruiser hit the scooter than vice versa.

Athena Isn't Smiling YetMar 2001
The seal of the Association, reproduced to the right, carries the likeness of Athena, The Greek Goddess of Wisdom, in what the Committee that devised our seal called her "favorite character" as "Guardian of the City." This is an apt reminder that one of the key functions of the City Bar is the civic function of using our legal skills to protect the City of New York against wrongs of all kinds.Today Albany, the seat of our state government, holds the key to the welfare of the City. That is why so much of the work of the City Bar is related to Albany and why that focus needs to be increased in the future. A progress report on four important City Bar initiatives illustrates Albany's importance.Assigned Counsel Fees Assigned Counsel fees were the subject of a recent column. Since then, the Governor presented a budget that contained no money for fee increases. However, he, the Speaker of the Assembly and the Majority Leader of the Senate (the "three men in a room") did announce an agreement to agree on a plan for fee increases in the future. It is a good step for the "three men in a room" finally to commit to address assigned counsel fees. Yet the word is that if increases are agreed upon-and not every agreement to agree results in actual legislation-the increase will not be effective until the 2002-2003 fiscal year. Since we face an immediate crisis, delay in taking corrective action harms the poor in all parts of the State, with severe impact in New York City. We will press our case in Albany. This year's Law Day on May 1 is dedicated to "The Best Interests of the Child." Grossly inadequate assigned counsel fees make it impossible for the courts to determine the best interests of the child in a timely fashion since assigned counsel play a key role in juvenile and domestic violence proceedings. The City Bar will lead a rally in Albany on May 1 of lawyers from around the state in support of assigned counsel fee increases. Rockefeller Drug LawsApproximately 22,000 of the some 70,000 people imprisoned in New York are imprisoned for non-violent drug offenses. Nearly 95% of those so imprisoned are people of color. The enforcement of these laws disproportionately hurts New York City residents and families. Reforming the laws has for many years been a top City Bar priority. Governor Pataki has recently submitted legislation that makes a good start at reform. His plan does not, however, go as far as we think it must if the swollen incarceration rate is to be substantially reduced. For example, his plan does not go far enough to place the decision as to the treatment alternative in the hands of the judge rather than the prosecutor, as under current law. There needs to be more retroactivity. And while a reduction in the incarceration rate can provide new funds for drug treatment as the Governor proposes, there should be further assurance of sufficient funding at the initial stages of the program to make certain that treatment alternatives are available.Our Executive Committee recently endorsed an all out effort to persuade Albany to achieve real reform. Three of our committees are hard at work with me implementing that mandate. Education FundingIn 1993 Mayor Dinkins started, and Mayor Giuliani subsequently continued, a lawsuit against the State that alleged that public school students in New York City do not receive a sound basic education. This admission was an act of political courage. In 1995 the Court of Appeals held that the State must provide a sound basic education but held that the City, as a creature of the State, could not challenge Albany's failure to provide adequate funding. A citizen suit proceeded, and recently Justice Leland DeGrasse found that the sound basic education requirement had been violated. The State has appealed.The City Bar has argued that state education funding should take account of higher costs in New York City and should be based on student enrollment rather than attendance. Justice DeGrasse agreed with these positions.
Just as with the Rockefeller Drug Laws, there is an important racial component to the education funding issue. Eighty-four percent of public school students in New York are minority. Whether or not what President George W. Bush has called the subtle prejudice of low expectation plays a role, there can be no doubt that inadequate state funding has a racial impact. On this basis, Justice DeGrasse found a violation of federal civil rights laws.
While the Association does not fault the State for appealing Justice DeGrasse's ruling, we urge the Attorney General and the Plaintiffs to waste no time in exploring all opportunities for reasonable settlement so that the benefits to the City of such a settlement can be available as soon as possible. Focusing on productivity is also important, but this focus should extend to all areas of State and City government where the potential for productivity savings has been estimated to exceed $10 billion. Three Men in a RoomThe harm that Albany sometimes inflicts on the City stems in part from the "three men in a room" system. Our legislators say they fight for the City in conference, but we do not know what they say or what responses come back because these conferences are closed to the public. City representatives sometimes have to defer to their leader's desire to win close races elsewhere. There can be no other reason why so many legislators from the City voted to repeal the commuter income tax or why the Assembly majority has shown at best weak leadership in pressing for Rockefeller drug law reform.The Association's Committee on State Governance Reform has made an important proposal to open the process. We want to increase the role of legislative committees so that they can function as a forum for outcome-shaping debate and a pathway through which bills can actually reach the floor for a vote. Incredibly, Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno recently moved in the opposite direction. He changed Senate rules to make it harder for the Senate minority to cause a debate or a recorded vote. Some members, it seems, are willing to further concentrate power so that they will have nothing for which to answer. They live in a cozy, taxpayer financed, cocoon. It is time to awake.

Whose Life Is It, Anyway?
The best science fiction proffers tangible questions about faith and reality--the opposites of science and fiction, respectively. With enough hindsight and honest scrutiny, we might say that every Star Wars movie pretty much sucks, if only because the saga itself lacks that kind of truly inquisitive spirit: Maybe the Force is a metaphor for psychospiritual transcendence; maybe it's just a convenient way to keep Obi-Wan in the script. Either way, what we're left with in the end is another costumed good-versus-evil bout, our view of the plainclothes world beyond the theater remaining largely unchallenged.
Solaris, on the other hand, is worth seeing, and not just because George Clooney's bare ass is on view in more than one sequence. Based on the novel by Polish-born sci-fi scribe Stanislaw Lem (and preceded by Soviet filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 screen version), this carefully tempered space flick scores another win for writer-director Steven Soderbergh regardless of how it's received by the CGI-alien-loving set. Its assets include a lean cast and screenplay, simmering suspense, elegant cinematography, sharp production design, a nicely nuanced score by Cliff Martinez, and a laudable performance by Clooney's upper half. Better yet, it builds toward the kind of metaphysically loaded climax that will leave you with more savory questions than "Where did we park?"
Judging from the premise alone, you'd be forgiven for dismissing Solaris as Bradbury-meets-Roddenberry redux: In the not-too-distant future, skilled psychologist Chris Kelvin (Clooney) is sent to investigate mysterious happenings at an all-but-abandoned space station near the planet Solaris. He arrives to discover neatly bagged corpses, ambiguous bloodstains, and a skeleton crew driven to delirium by an elusive form of otherworldly intelligence. In due time, it's apparent that this alien presence can read and manifest unspoken human thoughts, regrets, and desires; accordingly, Kelvin's knotty relationship with his wife Rheya (Natascha McElhone) takes on greater weight than your average earthly flashback.
From the film's first ambiguous moments, Soderbergh plots a patient and cautious course, steering clear of the abundant sci-fi clichés in his path. He offers up high-tech set pieces well-suited to a plausible future, but without the gratuitous technical details most Trekkies demand. He keeps us concerned and curious about each narrative twist but never nudges us with omniscient warnings. He teases our brains, but not with cheap riddles for armchair quantum physicists. He stays invested throughout in the fundamental human feelings at hand, defogging typical outer-space intrigue to reveal a story about love, mortality, and the very real limitations on what human beings can know about themselves and their universe.
There's a lot to distinguish Solaris from Blade Runner, but the similarities are worth noting. Clooney's stoic reserve and detached voiceovers bear shades of Harrison Ford's Deckard, and the methodical electronic score by Soderbergh cohort (and ex-Captain Beefheart drummer) Martinez provides an ambient texture akin to Vangelis's 20-year-old synth work. Both films make earnest figure eights around the eternal question of what makes us who we are. Yet there's enough signature Soderbergh in the overall execution here (pause-laden dialogue, darkened interiors, arty establishing shots) to keep the auteur's fan club happy.
Keen and economical as the work may be, this is ultimately an act of adaptation that puts author Lem right next to Soderbergh in the receiving line. Like Kurt Vonnegut and Phillip K. Dick, Lem is known to genre buffs as a well-rounded writer capable of melding imaginative future-tense scenarios with social and philosophical matters that resonate in the present. Sadly, Hollywood has yet to get a Vonnegut story right. (Breakfast of Champions plus Bruce Willis equals bomb.) Blade Runner was a winning Dick interpretation, although another Best Director honoree named Steven recently wrecked that author's Minority Report in the third act.
But if we're really gonna toss Spielberg into the laundry load of comparisons here, Solaris would be better held up alongside last year's A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Without giving too much away, Clooney's Solaris character is forced to wrestle with the reality-bending consequences of love; the same could be said of A.I.'s Frances O'Connor, who puzzles over her feelings for an android son. She's a better actor, but Clooney has got more to prove, and it's gratifying to see him reach beyond his usual coy mugging. While he and McElhone don't always create the most convincing two-way chemistry, both demonstrate a solid understanding of the story's emotional foundation. Their capable performances help Soderbergh achieve a heartier conclusion than Spielberg's (and with a running time that's shorter by 40 minutes).
With the studios trotting out their home-stretch Academy Award hopefuls, Solaris isn't what you'd call a serious contender--to its credit. For all its rich suspense, heady themes, and aesthetic tact, it's neither revolutionary nor commercial enough to register on that scale. Oscar historically hates outer space anyway. At the very least, trophy-waving dork James Cameron--a co-producer on Solaris--takes a small, overdue step toward redeeming himself among seekers of sci-fi with substance.

Kinoshita sets national track record
By: Matt Long Telegraph Sports Editor
Mike Kinoshita failed to achieve his only goal on Saturday by meeting a qualifying standard in the 1,500-meter run for the Paralympic Games. But what he did after that made up for it. Kinoshita is only 16 but will soon have his name in the record books, once his record is certified. The junior at Folsom High and member of the track and field team set a Paralympic National record on Saturday for visually impaired athletes by finishing the 3,000-meter run at the Hornet Classic at Sacramento State in 9 minutes, 29 seconds. The previous record of 9:35 was set in 2000 by Kenneth Blair. "It's hard to describe how it feels," Kinoshita said of achieving the national record. "I'm excited. I feel immense pride." What makes the record even more impressive is that Kinoshita wasn't even trying for it. The reason he was competing at the meet was to run the Paralympic qualifying standard in the 1,500 meters, a race he ran in the morning. He did well, finishing with a personal-best time of 4:23, but he missed the standard by eight seconds. In his second race of the day, the 3,000 meters held in the afternoon, Kinoshita was just running it because, as he put it, "it was there." "It kind of just happened," Kinoshita said of the record. I wasn't trying for it and it was my second race of the day. I wasn't expecting to break any record."

Now that my daughter is 7, she has strong opinions about what her costume should be. When she chose Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, I agreed even if it wasn't a big costume challenge for me. Seeing the delight on her face when she put on the dress and ruby slippers made it all worthwhile.
My son, on the other hand, is only 5 and easily persuaded to wear obscure costumes. He's really been into wrestling and super heroes, so my husband had the genius idea of making him Nacho Libre this year. Tights + muscles + mask + cape was a winning combination. He fell for it.

Time to Recover
What is it about Fall that kicks me into full craft mode? This year in particular I am loving my domestic upgrades. I have been itching to recover our dining room chair seats for the past 2 years. I finally found a fabric with a print that I like and a pattern that will camouflage my kid's food spills. First weekend - 4 down, 2 to go! Costume season is right around the corner so I've got to switch gears after the final 2.

Calling all cocktails
I recently took a class at Modern Domestic to learn how to do paper-piece quilting. The process was very technical, but the results were astonishing. This tablerunner took a good week of evening craft-time. Now I can kick up my feet and rest my cocktail without leaving rings on my table.
I used this leaf pattern Charley Harper print for the backing which will mask stains from my sloppier guests and small children.

Garden Friends
Our backyard has an elevated level that has always been an eyesore. I consider myself quite crafty, but was not blessed with a green thumb. So this year we decided to have more fun with this dirt pit and make it fun for the kids too. My daughter loves fairies so the fairy garden was a great idea. I started with the tipped pot covered with succelents for her "home". Then the kids added their favorite stones and shells for her path. We found the fairy at our favorite toy store and plopped her inside.
In a few months the rest of the ground covering should be filled in.
Our gnome is so cute. He now protects our wildflower seeds which are growing nicely.

Reviews by Vaner
FhVaner | May 15, 2012 | Review of Dead Island - PC
Let me get this out of the way to begin with. The story in this game is garbage. The graphics are a bit above average, they're certainly not bad, but not good either. The voice acting isn't that great either. Despite all this, the score stands, and it is every bit justified. This game isn't trying to be a movie. This game isn't a trying to be a work of art. This game only really tries to be a game, and it's a great game at that. Taking features and ideas of many great titles that came before, it blends them all together and it tastes just right. If you're a fan of a great looting system with a bit of crafting, it's there. If you want to build you characters and define your own play style, it's there. If you want to do get in a vehicle and drive over hordes of zombies, it's there. It does none of those things the best, but I have yet to see of all those elements put together work much better than this. Of course, while that sounds good and all, where this game really shines is when one when brings in a few friends. The result is lots of laughs, cooperation, saving each other, and planning in accordance with each other's skills. The cooperative is some of the by far better cooperative experience I've played. If you know you have friends to play with, this is NOT something you should pass up on (assuming you don't find zombies over done at this point). I'd like to give a bit of a warning however. The port isn't that great, the UI is very clearly controller based, though not hard to use once used to. There are a few things here and there, but as a bit of an experienced pc gamer, none of these should present too much of a problem. Google is your friend in this regard. All in all, the game is what games for some reason try not to be anymore; be a game. While there are a few technical issues you may encounter, they'll do little to deter from enjoyment of this title.

Thunder center Kendrick Perkins to miss next two games; Steven Adams to start
Kendrick Perkins did not travel with the Thunder on the team's three-game road trip so that he could be with his family after the death of his grandfather.
Perkins will miss the team's next two games, which will be played Wednesday against the Clippers and Thursday at Golden State. He could rejoin the team for Saturday's game at Milwaukee.
Rookie center Steven Adams will start in place of Perkins.
"Nothing is going to change," Adams said Wednesday. "It's just now it's kind of like going out there and setting the tone; being with the starting five and making sure we set the bar."
Thunder head coach Scott Brooks said he's comfortable with Adams playing in the starting lineup.
"He's been with that lineup a few times during games and sometimes in practice," Brooks said. "But no matter who we have out there, guys have confidence in executing what we work on every day. I think it's going to be a great opportunity for him."

Then I regret to inform you that you may have been mislead. Many new agents flock to large brokerages assuming the the company name will produce them business, however in most instances that is not the case. So why would you give up 30% - 50%- of your commission, plus pay a monthly office fee?
Question So where does the Broker Commission go? Do you think it goes back out to market the agents? The majority of the time No! Most brokerage firms' commissions are used to recruit more agents. Why do you think some or most real estate brokerages have 200-300 agents, because they have an overflow of business that they cannot handle. No, not at all. Most of those 200-300 agents are most likely closing about 4-8 deals per year. We realized that large real estate brokerages with their fancy images are all about themselves and not the agent. Branding is extremely important for any company; this is what these large Real Estate brokerages spend their money on, branding the name of the brokerage firm, NOT THEIR REALTORS.

Do you have to go through a training program to do what you do at the level at which you do it? Or is it an honourary thing?
You do go through training, yes. You're screened the same way any other military member would be — they pretty much want your whole life on paper for your past five years. And you go through the same process — the medical, an interview, a big long screening process. And if you do well, then they accept you as part of the Cadet Instructor Cadre (CIC), and usually they hope that you would be attached to a squadron or corps, depending on which element you're going for. But that's the process. You start out as an Officer Cadet, and then to gain your next level of promotion, you have to take certain amounts of training courses. I made it all the way through to Captain this past summer.

- You haven't posted in a while, but I see you still check in occasionally. How've you been?
Wanted to thank you for all the good info about cycling.
- I responded to your questions in my thread if you want to respond
- 06-21-2011 07:10 PM - permalinkThunderloonAbout a week after I read "knowledge is power" in grade school it occurred to me that lots of knowledge is power. Maybe not in the "rule nations" sense but its worked out that the only repair man I've ever called in my life was an electrician to install my breaker box.
That stance just leads to a hobby of learning how things work, not only the individual products but the systems and whole macro-nic structure of the application of such systems.
- If we stick with the knowledge we know we never gain an inch, so I explore my hobbies.
I do have a large selection of Marineland products as well as an assortment of small tank equipment but just owning them would do me no good without the technical knowledge I've gained from never turning away from something I don't understand.
So in a sense you hit the nail on the head, I am more a technologist than anything else. I tend to be a genius at nothing, but tenacious at exploring anything.
I can't remember many toys that I had when young that I didn't take apart to learn how they worked. Thus to keep the toys I learned to sew, solder, woodwork, paint, and repair both on the small and large scale.
- I can't claim to be a natural genius in this regard... My mother has a Master's degree in art education from an era when that meant she learned to do all those things and my father has worked everything from watching radar for the Air Force and electroplating nuclear device components through to one day in scrubs he laid on his back under an ER-OR table performing the second life-saving operation in the room.
I have two rather complex parents who both had already amassed a huge base of knowledge in separate categories, it was quite a scramble to keep up with both.
I may never actually catch up, trying to hit a receding target on the run is difficult.
- 06-21-2011 07:08 PM - permalinkThunderloonI can say that I'm not a natural at anything, I've just developed an ability to learn on-the-fly that's served me well in more than 160 different jobs and nine hobbies.
Aquariums is the oddest thing. I think my liking of them had to wait for the industry to get complex for me to be interested in having one. When I was two years old I'd be sat on the bottom step for time-out and a tank was there. In 2006 I stopped and looked at a power filter for the first time in a walmart. Its clear the fish alone aren't enough to keep me interested, but the black plastic things are my pets too so it works out. I may tire of, or not have enough time for, fish and aquarium gear at some point but I think my biggest joy in life is helping people get to where they're going.
- 06-21-2011 07:07 PM - permalinkThunderloonOr maybe it's shouting "nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!"
One day I'll find out, or leave it to my son to learn.
It often brings me happiness and redeems my opinion of humanity when I see the little tell-tale evidence of brilliance OR perseverance in the design of the products we buy and use. I run into so many people every day now who couldn't make toast without a hundred years of technological support. I use a frying pan and like it.
- I would much appreciate an explanation to a comment you made in my thread

Sen. Ken Salazar climbed into a cramped RV with former Gov. Roy Romer and went to cold Colorado mountaintops for Barack Obama.
Former Denver Mayor Federico Peña helped woo Latino voters across the country for Obama. Gov. Bill Ritter stumped for him in some of the state's most conservative cities, promising that an Obama administration would bring new energy jobs for Colorado.
Now the question is, what do these Colorado leaders want in a new presidential administration?
"I'm very happy being a U.S. senator. Nothing gives me more joy," Salazar said at a press briefing in Denver. "Right now my intention is to continue to serve well as U.S. senator.
- Watch an excerpt of Obama's first press conference
- Read the text of Obama's first press conference

Yet Salazar's name has been suggested as interior secretary by a number of people, including those in the Obama camp, said one member of the House Democratic leadership who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the selection process.
Picking Salazar for a position would also not hurt the Democratic numbers in the Senate, that House member said, because Ritter would appoint a Democratic successor.
Romer, who took time away from his education policy job in Washington to stump for Obama in Colorado, said he's in conversations with the transition team about education policy but noted that "it's presumptuous to be assuming things," he said.
"I have extensive identification as a guy involved in education.
Also advising Obama's campaign on education is Mapleton Expeditionary School of the Arts principal Michael Johnston, who has won national kudos for getting all 44 of his graduating seniors into college last spring.
While he likes being part of the national dialogue about education reform, he said Wednesday that he's devoted to the job he's doing.
"The most important thing for me is that the policies are the right ones," he said. "The people there matter less. I'll be happy to be involved in trying to shape policies of the administration, but I have no plans to leave."
Rep. Diana DeGette of Denver plans to talk to Peña about Dr. Patty Gabow, chief executive of Denver Health. Gabow could have some role in the Department of Health and Human Services, DeGette said.
Ritter, who pushed Colorado as a test ground for Obama's "new energy economy," said the relationship he built with the president-elect will pay dividends for Colorado. He said he hadn't been contacted by anyone for a job.
"I really do believe Sen. Obama understands what we need to do in this country, particularly with the economy," Ritter said at a morning news conference.
Peña, who was a Cabinet member in the Clinton administration, is one of 12 people helping Obama make choices for administration jobs. The transition team has been working for a few weeks now, Peña said, because Obama wanted to be ready to start immediately.
The transition team now is "beginning to think about recommendations to Sen. Obama," Peña said. "The priority will be economic policy and national security."
Staff writer John Ingold contributed to this report.

Water Cloudy
I have my african cichlid tank setup and is all good. The water is slightly cloudy tho. Is this normal?
As the tank gets cycled more, and established the water should clear up. It is normal.
so when you say "cycled more" do you mean water changes?

This murky water could also be suspended particles in the tank, and with proper filteration it should clear up over time. Hope it helps

Working Efficiently
To make daily progress on your startup and really fuel growth you need to be working efficiently. This can be a real challenge! Especially when you have tons of deliverables, a to do list that can reach a couple pages long, meetings, etc…
Here are four tips to help ensure your working efficiently every day that I've come to rely on:
1. Break It Down
List your main goals for the week, such as ship that new feature, improve signup conversion rates, follow up on leads or respond to all the emails built up in your inbox. Try not to get carried away with too many goals, just focus on the the most important, big picture items.
Every morning write down your goals for the day. Since most of us are not robots it is a good idea to have a variety of tasks/goals. Keep it to 1 or 2 challenging goals and a couple easy wins (more on this below). During the day make sure to mark off each goals as you complete it! You'll be surprised how good it feels after you get in the routine of conquering your daily goals.
Remember to keep your list of goals! It is a great way to gain insight on how to improve your planning and efficiency!
2. Easy Wins
You should love easy win! Unless you really enjoying smashing your head up against a wall, again and again, it can be wise to give yourself easy wins each day. It helps build moment, gives you a break from more challenging tasks, and ensures you are making steady progress every day. You'll be surprised what a couple easy wins will do for your moral and your startup.
Only have big goals/tasks? Break them down into smaller pieces and spread them across the week. Don't focus on the fact that you have 100+ follow up emails with prospective clients, just try to get to 5-10 complete for the day.
3. Ask for Help
At no time should you be wasting time wondering what to work on, how to go about doing it, or continuing to work on something despite the probability of success dwindling to almost nothing. In a big corporation you can get away with not working efficiently, but in a small team your wasting everyones time. Remember, its not about ego, it's about working efficiently to achieve a common goal! If your struggling with something and haven't found a solution in a reasonable time ask someone for help. Why waste hours when it could only take a couple minutes?
If you have an anti-social team that gets grumpy about being interrupted ask them the best way to get a quick question answered. Find those people on your team who understand that a few minutes a couple times a week can save you hours leading to the entire startup making more efficient progress on goals. When you have a question or need advice ask for a few minutes of their time.
4. Work Smarter
Think for a couple minutes before you leap into your goals/tasks for the day. This is key to working efficiently! It can be tempting to jump right in. With a little forethought and planning you can save yourself a ton of time. If you don't know how to tackle something? See tip #3. Struggling to make daily progress? See tip #1. Frustrated, burnt out and want to throw in the towel? See tip #2.
