Back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, select your startup volume, and run Repair Disk (not Repair Permissions.) If any problems are found, repeat.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from your recovery partition (10.7 or later), a local Time Machine backup volume (10.7.2 or later), or your installation disc (10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under "Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility."
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

) or "TI" narrowed its revenue and earnings expectations for the
fourth quarter of 2013.
The chipmaker now expects sales of $2.92 billion-$3.04 billion
versus its previous guidance of $2.86 billion-$3.10 billion. The
earnings outlook has also been narrowed to 44 cent-48 cents per
share from 42 cents-50 cents.
Though the chipmaker has tightened its guidance range, the
mid-point remains unchanged. According to data compiled by
Bloomberg, analysts expect sales of $2.99 billion, slightly above
the mid-point of management's guidance of $3.98 billion. However,
earnings expectations of 46 cents were in line with management's
Management stated that while the demand for its chips used in
automotives market is improving, orders from other industrial
customers are weakening.
Like other chipmakers, TI has struggled in the recent quarters
due to a slow global economy and weak consumer spending. To
maintain the growth momentum, the company responded in part by
cutting costs and trying to expand the use of its application
processors on embedded solutions for the automobile, industrial
and other non-consumer markets, which have a longer life
Texas Instruments is one of the largest suppliers of analog
and digital signal processing integrated circuits. The company's
compelling product line-up, increasing differentiation in its
business, restructuring activities and lower-cost 300-mm capacity
should drive earnings in the longer term. In the second quarter,
TI posted decent results, with the top-line numbers surpassing
our expectations.

It's storytime with the LeapFrog character Scout. This interactive puppy comes with five board books that Scout reads aloud as kids follow along. Each book is color-coded and designed to help build different reading skills: pattern, narrative, concept, rhyming, and learn-about. Each book has parent tips on the back to help parents encourage further learning.
There are two modes of play. In Story Time Mode, kids choose what book they'd like Scout to read and press the book's number on Scout's collar. Scout will read the book out loud and prompt kids to pat his head when they are ready to turn the page. Scout might also ask kids questions throughout the story to help build comprehension skills. There are more than 70 comprehension questions.
Also in this mode, kids can pet one of Scout's five interactive spots for different reactions. Pet Scout's back or head, or give Scout's cheek a kiss to hear different phrases. Scout will talk some more when you press his left paw. Press Scout's right paw to hear happy learning songs.
In Sleepy Time mode, kids can choose a book for Scout to read them as a bedtime story. (Scout will not ask kids any questions or prompt them to pat his head to turn the page.) Once the story is done, press Scout's musical right paw to hear eight minutes of lullabies.
From reading books to petting and cuddling during playtime and bedtime, Read With Me Scout offers multiple ways for kids to interact with this soft toy dog. Reading the books and asking questions about the stories is a great way to expand a child's vocabulary and help them comprehend what they read and hear.
Read With Me Scout is for ages 2–5.
Three AA batteries are included for the in-store try-me purposes. LeapFrog recommends replacing them before you play for best results.
This toy is very sensitive to touch. If you are in the middle of reading a book and you pat Scout's head too hard or too much or if your child touches a different interactive spot, the story will be interrupted by one of Scout's responses. Scout will then start reading from where you left off.
There is a volume control button on the battery pack.
This toy is also available as Read With Me Violet.

I prepared this dish one evening and used ONION soup mix. Let me tell you, do NOT think of substituting. The taste was pretty close to horrible. Don't get me wrong, I love onion, but something about the combination just didn't go...
Very quick and simple to put together. Actually had my four year old chef make the sauce while I sauted the chicken. I did add a few cloves of garlic into the saute because I wanted it to live up to its name...we're garlic nuts. Ten minutes on the pan cut the oven time to about 25 minutes so it's definitely a time helper. Served it over fresh fettucini. Very nice recipe.
This is a late review, but I thought this recipe was excellent! And so easy. I used the petite diced tomatoes which I thought worked well. Following recommendations in other reviews I did brown the chicken first. Thanks for a great meal!
This was good. The sauce had a nice flavor to it, considering it was a "SNAP" to put together....doesn't get any easier. I made a few changes, but nothing that would change the taste. I did pound the chicken breasts with the heel of my hand to make the breasts thinner and to bake more evenly. I also browned them a bit in the skillet to give them some color. I will make them again, following the same plan I took this time with one additional change....and that would be to change the cheese from mozzarella to provolone (my favorite).
A nice recipe ~ very quick to make. I served over egg noodles. Next time I will brown the chicken before putting in the oven ~ my personal preference. I also let the cheese melt in the oven for a minute or two before serving. Thank you for posting.
I absolutely love this recipe it is simple and the flavor is wonderul!
I made this for my family tonight! Very quick and easy! We served it over rice and poured the juices over it all and it really was delicious!!!
YUM! From one Grandma to another, I like quick and easy, too! And, this one sure is! Tossed over thick egg noodles, made a lovely supper! Tis a keeper, for sure, and I thank you for sharing! Laudee

Secondhand store is 2nd chance for jobless
THE BLADE/AMY E. VOIGT Enlarge | Buy This Photo
In good times, a secondhand store like Savers Inc. might have difficulty finding qualified people to fill jobs paying "just over minimum wage" of $6.55 an hour.
But not now.
Over the past three days, 800 applicants showed up for 50 jobs at the chain's new store off Secor Road in Toledo's Westgate area.
"It will be hard to narrow down to 50 people," Jeff Veith, manager of the store that is scheduled to open June 4, said.
THE BLADE/AMY E. VOIGT Enlarge | Buy This Photo
Wages for nonsupervisory jobs at the store are near minimum wage.
Shortly before noon yesterday, applicants filled rows of folding chairs set up near the front of the still-vacant store that will sell used clothing and household items. Clutching clipboards, they filled out applications, then stood in line for a quick preliminary interview with store managers.
More than 100 applicants showed up at the retail outlet, 3550 Executive Pkwy., yesterday alone. And the quality of applicants was high, the manager said.
There were some newcomers to the labor force, but others had been let go after years on the job.
THE BLADE/AMY E. VOIGT Enlarge | Buy This Photo
One applicant had a master's degree, Mr. Veith said.
Michelle Heilman, a 45-year-old mother of two, was laid off from her job as an administrative assistant at the end of January.
Impeccably dressed and articulate, she returned for a second interview after filling out an application Wednesday. She was optimistic after getting the call back. "It's a good sign," she said as she headed to her car.
Her last job was eliminated after slightly less than a year. She worked in retailing while attending college, and doesn't see it as a come-down. "The pay is different," she said. "But it's enough to pay the bills. Work is work."
Full-time employees, classified as anyone working at least 30 hours a week, receive full medical, dental, and vision benefits, a chain spokesman said.
Toledo staffing agency executive Bruce Rumpf isn't surprised by the level of interest in the modest-wage jobs. "It's an opening; it's a chance," Mr. Rumpf, president of Job1USA, said. "Most people want to work. They don't want to collect unemployment. They want to contribute. This is something new. It's an opportunity to get a foothold into something.
The Westgate store will be the second Toledo location for the for-profit Bellevue, Wash., chain, which has more than 220 stores across the United States, Canada, and Australia. The other Toledo store is on Reynolds at Heatherdowns Boulevard.
New figures from the U.S. Census Bureau show that annual sales at stores selling secondhand merchandise grew nearly 20 percent between 2002 and 2007 to $9.3 billion, despite a slight decrease in the number of such stores.
Sixty to 70 percent of jobs at the new Savers store will be full time, the manager said. That's important to many job-seekers.
Damen Abitua of Toledo makes $10 an hour working for an industrial cleaning firm that specializes in factory work. When the Toledo Jeep Assembly complex was going strong, the 22-year-old was working 40 hours a week.
Now, however, he must travel to Fremont to work and is down to one day a week. "This would be a lot better," Mr. Abitua said.
"People need jobs," said job-seeker Theresa Garrett, 19, as she surveyed the crowd at Savers. She works in retailing now, but her schedule was recently trimmed to 3 1/2 hours a day. "You can't live on that," said the resident of Toledo's Old West End.

BOULDER Stephanie Rochester, the Superior woman accused of killing her 6-month-old son, will not go to trial on first-degree murder and child abuse charges.
Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett announced Monday that he does not feel prosecutors would be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was sane at the time of the killing.
Rochester pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and a judge denied a prosecution request to have a third psychiatrist examine her.
During the initial investigation last summer, Rochester told detectives that she believed her baby, Rylan, was autistic and that having an autistic child would emotionally and financially "ruin" her life.

San Diego Superior Court is seeking dedicated residents with sound judgment from throughout the county to serve on the 2013/2014 San Diego County Grand Jury.
The grand jury investigates citizen complaints and performs its traditional function as a "watchdog" over government agencies. It does not conduct criminal investigations.
Applications are now available by telephone at 619-450-7272 or in person at San Diego Superior Court in the jury services office at the Central (downtown) branch, and the jury lounges at the North, South and East branches of the court.
Those interested also can download an application from the San Diego Superior Court's website at sdcourts.ca.gov or the grand jury's website at sdcounty.ca.gov/grandjury.
The 19-member body will work four days a week, approximately six hours a day, from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 at the Hall of Justice located in downtown San Diego.

Victoria Justice, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato are three of the biggest teen stars on the planet. They're all 18, they've each had their own TV show (Victorious, Wizards of Waverly Place, Sonny With A Chance), and they're all Latinas — so people compare them quite a bit.

Video games are getting more and more life-like. As such it makes sense that they account for more things that define our lives. We have video games in which we have to earn our money, eat to replenish health, and have sex every now and again. But for a great many, life isn't truly complete without music, and the ability to play/create/enjoy it. Accordingly, there is a great number of video games devoted to that very possibility. Here are ten.
With the Rolling Stone namesake stamped on the cover of this drummer-centric Wii game, the game is bound to be good, right? Well, sort of; it plays like a drum equivalent of Guitar Hero, which, at this point, only provides any remaining enjoyment in one series to the next in the song choices (i.e what access they are granted, legally-speaking). Looking at the setlist of this game, the choices are very topical, with songs that sound like they'd be fun to play on the drums (Bloc Party's "Banquet," Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild," The Police's "I Can't Stand Losing You"), as well as ones that are noted for their simplistically-distinct percussive hooks (Tony Basil's "Hey Mickey," Violent Femmes' "Blister in the Sun," and of course Queen's "We Will Rock You"). And then in between are a whole bunch of downright questionable entries (i.e. Smash Mouth's "All Star"...really, Rolling Stone? That's who you went with?). The best thing about this game being for the Wii is the intuitive controls, using the Wii remote and Nunchuk as drum sticks, an appropriate use of the technology which a lot of games for the way don't fully take advantage of as much as this game does.
This game saw Guitar Hero's guitarist and raised it a full band. That is, to simulate virtually. You could with Rock Band, take two friends (to complete the guitar-drums-vocalist power trio) and about two hunded dollars, and start your own band without any necessary playing ability. This is a sad dream many hopelessly unmotivated individuals had been begging for, and finally it came true. Of course with that excitement comes an inevitable declined of which, especially when a franchise models itself in the same overkill fashion as Guitar Hero (i.e. sequels and spin-offs galore). It's one high point, however, was in the Beatles edition. Which it got right. Much to the delight of everyone from 3 to 63.
This game gave any hand-eye-and-color-coordinated gamer the tools to be a rock god, or a 'Guitar Hero' if you will. Literally, that intricately-strung-and-fretted Gibson was rendered into a plastic guitar-effigy, with 6 multi-colored buttons and a plastic switch where a strings/pickups would be. By punching the colored buttons in time, a kid could feel briefly like his hero. This fun would last about 5 sequels and a similar number of artist spinoffs (i.e. Aerosmith, Van Halen, and Metallica). While the games eventually included other instruments, Rock Band-style, and even revamped the guitar, you could only push blue, green, red, and orange (if you were a pro) so many times before the thrills inevitably faded away. And as Def Leppard would say, 'It's better to burn out than fade away.'
This game for the Gamecube is centered around the very music a gorilla as such must listen to, as a native to African jungles. Armed with a konga drum, a unique Gamecube peripheral, you could too produce the kind of chest-beating tribal music that fuels Donkey's adventures through mineshafts and crocodile-inhabited wetlands, on the backs of rhinos and giant swordfish. Moreover, instead of just playing strictly drum circle-type music, you get to lend your percussive palms to a number of decade-spanning pop songs, like a distictly Nintendo-themed precursor to the onslaught of instrument-led game that would sweep/flood the market in years to follow (the first Donkey Konga came out in 2003, while Guitar Hero didn't come out til 2005). This was truly a party game to go ape over.
This game was all the rage in high school some seven or eight years ago; first came the arcade game that convinced so many that eye-foot coordination is all it sakes to be good dancer. Lo and behold the transference of these manic up-down-left-right step motions to an actual dancefloor didn't produce nearly the same results. Then came the foot pad plug-in that made it so you could keep these 'dance moves' behind closed doors where they belong. Now, the cyber dancing is much more advanced (and life-like) with motion sensor games for the Wii and Xbox Kinnect. Who'd've thunk video games would end up having the capacity to make you more coordinated, and Wiifit.
This game was a much fussed-about opportunity to exploit the late King of Pop's likeness and milk the Jackson estate for all it's worth. Unyielding yields aside, no person better deserves a dancing video game in his image. After all, who else is as famous for their music as they are for their dancing (and iconic music videos and wardrobe choices). And who wouldn't love the opportunity to show off their moonwalking ability, after so many hours of practicing in socks on hardwood floors? Now they can, and so much more, using the Wii or Xbox as a personal choreographer. With famous video backdrops, the King's own music (27 pieces of which), and his signature moves, it certainly is the best slice of Michael's life to experience.
While devoted and uncynical fans will rave about this game in its topical novelty, the obvious truth is that it was rushed onto shelves, underdeveloped with the ersatz engine of comparable dance games, and it seems less a tribute as a means to cash in on that fresh post-mortem buzz (about the time his albums were downloaded millions of times over on iTunes, or his similarly rushed-sounding posthumous album Michael).
Okay so this game has a million predecessors, but none that boast the likes of Bugs Bunny as an orchestra conductor. This game is a must for Nintendo DS-havers whose fanaticism for Looney Tunes extends the largely classical soundtrack of the original cartoons. In this game, you are given the greatest hits as interpreted by the Looney ensemble, including Beethoven, Liszt, Bach, and Rossi (the famous you-should-be-riding-a-horse-right-now accompaniment "William Tell Overture"). Using a stylus as a conductors wand, your tapping in proper succession ensures that the cartoon overhead isn't without that-ever necessary action-driving soundtrack.
Back about two video game generations ago (before Xbox even existed), the first Playstation was king (with the Nintendo 64 as it's queen). The idea of playing video games on a CD was new and exciting, even if they took forever to load (or needed to load every five minutes). And some of the first music games game about in that glory age of the CD, namely PaRappa the Rapper and its rock 'n' roll, Scott Pilgrim-ish counterpart Um Jammer Lammy. With an animated cartoon dog responding to your cues--essentially Simon Says with triangles, squares, circles, and X's--and performing only as well as you can follow instructions, this game was highly amusing, regardless of how wierd and random it was (or of the music wasn't up to current rap/rock standards).
This game is an answer to the thousands of actual guitarists who found mastering a fake guitar much harder than playing a real one. With this game, designed like Rock Band sans the drums, you play actual notes and chords and hear them played back in real time. Sort of. The game's biggest flaw, obvious to any guitarist, is that painful, albeit perhaps a millisecond in lengh, gap between the time you play the string and the time you hear it played back through the T.V. monitor speakers. It's the same thing that happens when you plug a guitar into a computer via a USB; that digital interface creates an amount of dissonance which hinders the ability to play in real-time without becoming quickly discombobulated by the difference between what your fingers do and what your ears hear. Perhaps this is overlookable by your average binomial-minded game developer, but to musician, timing is everything. To the game's credit--in spite the shortsighted attempt to make a guitarist-accesible Guitar Hero (it even presents 'tab'-like finger arrangements for beginners who want to make an untedious party out of a guitar lesson)--the mini-games are incredibly fun; there's unspeakable pleasure in being able to kill droves of zombies with the strum of a D minor chord.
With this game, now you too could pretend to pretend to make music. With a 'turntable' controller in lieu of a plastic guitar, DJ Hero was the club music equivalent of Guitar Hero. With songs from samplers of other artists, as well as some songs for you to manipulate, and cut-and-splice, and add little bleeps and bloops for yourself, this game catered directly to everyone who thought the songlist for the Guitar Hero games was completely esoteric (Who are the Modest Mice?). Also the game's most unforgivable tresspass is its inclusion of such hallowed artists--juxtaposed next to the likes of Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Gwen Stefani-- as David Bowie, the Zombies and Tears For Fears, all left open to the butchering. A nihilist's wet dream.

too much light?
Hey guys, I have got an offer for 2 Hamilton Reefstar 400 watt SE MH pendents with 12k sunburst bulbs about a month old.
Now I was thinking of getting rid of my * 48" 260 watt Power Compac lighting (4-65 watt) 21" Straight Pin bulbs with led lunar lights. and get both of these and suspend them from the ceiling?
Or should I buy one of them and keep my light kit?
or get rid of mine and only have one Hamilton 400 W
Thank You
having both over your tank won't be too much light, I've heard of people having 12-15 W/gal over their tanks. The one thing that comes to mind to me, is the lack of actinics in this setup if you go with the MH lamps only. That's purely a cosmetic/looks thing, but it's something to think about. Maybe a way around it would be to change out the bulbs with 14000K or 20000K bulbs, for a bluer look (but won't be the same as actinics, which really make the corals' colors "pop").
I don't think you should only put a single lamp over your tank. MH doesn't spread out laterally very well, so a single lamp over your tank would create a very bright spot under the light, and not much off to the sides. Having two lamps over the 4' tank would help keep the whole thing lit. Go with both MH, or none.
So do the 800/75=10.6W/gal?
Even if i Get a reflector and place it way above the tank?
I agree. You'll need actinics, but everything else should be fine. If you go with 14,000k it'll be closer to a blue color, but it'll get rid of some of you need for actinics. If you chose not to go with actinics, then you'll see you get a more dull coloration then someone else with the same corals.
reflectors would be great because they would increase the amount of PAR you'll get. they don't have to be high up, but it'll keep the reflectors from being dirty.
Hmm if it was your tank what would you do? Out of the options I am faced with?
Personally... I'd go for it. I love SPS and would have no issues with any SPS growth and maintanence.
Both and get rid of PC's
perfect and thank you :)

Many people are trying their hand at online food shows, for entertainment or promotional reasons. Christopher Walken even has one for his chicken with pears. But the format keeps you from really getting into it and sours the fun, when the pears look like 8-bit blobs and the chicken breasts are all pixelated out. YouTube is fine to watch a kitten on a pony, but anything more important can get lost in the choppy, pixelated, slow loading format depending on your connection and your computer.
Enter Cookus Interruptus, a new online cooking show with a mission. Starring local author, nutritionist, and actress Cynthia Lair, the online site produces quick and fun videos teaching you how to produce wholesome meals with fresh, local ingredients. Mixed in with the how to are adorable non sequiturs that give the project its name.
The video plays at a quality far superior to YouTube, shot by Seattle commercial director Brad Huskinson. Huskinson and Lair are partners in Cookus, which they partly conceived more than ten years ago when the two produced a pilot of a similar show, a half hour cooking sitcom focusing on meals made with whole foods. Too ahead of it's time then, the Cookus Interruptus website is definitely still ahead of the curve now. Clean, easy to use, and informative, the videos get to the point, and on the plate, in 4 to 8 minutes.
The site posts a video each week, and each video has the complete recipe right below the screen, with a print option. Under the "menus" page, videos are organized into meals to giving further ideas as to use. Lair is at ease with her expertise; she's taught at Bastyr University for over ten years. Sweetly delivering facts and helpful hints to enrich your daily meals, she deals with interruptions from her husband and adult daughter, who both seem to be in a "transitional period" and spend a great deal of time at home.
Cookus Interruptus launched two weeks ago, and interesting side effect so far are all of the emails asking various cooking and recipe questions. Because of the quick turn around of this format, Huskinson says they can and will turn your questions into future videos. So watch, learn, and don't be afraid to ask!

Best Uses
I purchased these for our school ice cream social and filled them with helium. We used about 50, and just one was defective. They were a bit pricey compared to plain balloons I could have purchased locally, but I could not resist the festive star design in our school colors blue/white. I plan to use the remaining 50 for our school 8th grade graduation in June.

Local Special Olympics athletes and their unified partners will compete in the annual bowling tournament at Milford Bowl in Milford from 10:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
This year's tournament, one of five to be held across the state this week, will feature students from the Milford School District. Events will include singles, doubles, unified doubles, bumper and ramp bowling.
"Bowling is one of our most popular sports in schools," said Gary Cimaglia, Special Olympics Delaware senior director of sports in a press release. "One of the neatest things about our athletes participating in bowling is that they can then transfer what they learn when they have opportunities to bowl with friends and family outside of the school day."

|Method and apparatus for directional drilling - A bottom-hole assembly for directional drilling incorporates a torque generator with a drive shaft connected to a drill string. The torque generator generates a torque that counters a reactive torque when a drill bit of the bottom-hole assembly is driven. When the drill string is rotated at a static drive speed, a drill tool face of the bottom-hole assembly is stabilized to drill a nonlinear bore segment. When the drill string is rotated at a rotational speed other than the static drive speed the bottom-hole assembly is rotated to drill a linear bore segment.

From the Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota.
Background: Complication rates of medical therapy for secondary stroke prevention derived from clinical trials may or may not be applicable to patients with cerebrovascular disease in the general population.
Objective: To determine complication rates for aspirin, warfarin, and intravenous heparin administered for secondary stroke prevention after first episodes of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, or amaurosis fugax in a community.
Design: Population-based historical cohort study.
Setting: Rochester, Minnesota.
Patients: All residents of Rochester who, between 1985 and 1989, received aspirin (n = 339) or warfarin (n = 145) within 2 years after first ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, or amaurosis fugax or received intravenous heparin (n = 201) within 2 weeks after first ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, or amaurosis fugax.
Measurements: Occurrence of major complications caused by therapy.
Results: Twenty aspirin-associated complications (1 fatal) occurred during an average 1.7 years of treatment, 8 warfarin-associated complications occurred during an average 0.7 years of treatment, and 3 heparin-associated complications (1 fatal) occurred during an average 5.1 days of treatment. Complication rates were 3.5 per 100 person-years (95% CI, 2.1 to 5.4) for aspirin, 7.9 per 100 person-years (CI, 3.4 to 15.6) for warfarin, and 0.30 (CI, 0.06 to 0.86) per 100 person-days for heparin. Rates of fatal complications were 0.2 per 100 person-years (CI, 0 to 1.0) for aspirin, 0 per 100 person-years (CI, 0 to 3.6) for warfarin, and 0.10 per 100 person-days (0 to 0.55) for heparin.
Conclusions: Complication rates for warfarin and intravenous heparin given as therapy for secondary stroke prevention in Rochester, Minnesota, were lower than rates reported from earlier trials and observational studies. However, complication rates for warfarin were higher than in more recent referral-based studies and multicenter randomized trials. After adjustment for duration of therapy, complication rates for heparin were higher than those for aspirin or warfarin. These rates can be used to judge the applicability of complication rates derived from ongoing clinical trials.

Against Leviathan: Government Power and a Free Society
Recorded: Wednesday, September 29, 2004
September 29, 2004
Oakland, CA
What is fundamentally wrong with government today? Since 2001, despite low inflation, federal spending has increased by a massive 28.8%, creating the largest deficits in U.S. history and the highest rate of government growth since the "guns-and-butter" presidencies of Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson. At the same time, federal agencies have been given new powers to secretly search anyone's property and intercept phone, Internet, and other communications, as well as inspect health and financial records. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, economist and historian Robert Higgs alone predicted this explosion of government power, as politicians have again taken full advantage of a frightened American public.
At this special Independent Policy Forum based on his new book, Against Leviathan, Dr. Higgs will present an unflinchingly critical analysis of the abuse of government power, including pork, the welfare state, protectionism, trampling on the Bill of Rights, and governmental responses to a continuing stream of "crises," including foreign wars, both hot and cold. Dr. Higgs combines an economist's analytical scrutiny, an historian's respect for the facts, and a refusal to accept the standard excuses and cruelties of government officialdom.

As of Tuesday night, the 2004 hurricane season finally came to an end. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush spoke about what has happened and what is ahead for Florida.
Now that the season is over, the people of Tallahassee are talking about the way Bush handled the aftermath.
Tom Snyder said, "I think he did the best he could. His brother being the president helps."
Amie Anyder said, "As good as he can. He can't really cause it or not cause it."
In his address, Bush spoke highly of Floridians, telling stories of the strength and courage he has seen all over the state, and gave a promise of a full recovery.
Bush said, "Our recovery is going to be a long-term effort. It will not be easy. It will not be quick or without pain, but it will happen."
Finally, the governor ended the speech with his pride worn openly on his sleeve.
"I have never been prouder to be the governor of Florida," said Bush.
Floridians say they agree it will be a long road, but they're ready to complete the recovery.

KUALA LUMPUR: Ministers will come under closer scrutiny of internal auditors and independent integrity officers to curb corruption within the civil service, says Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Paul Low.
Under the new changes, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Com-mission (MACC) will employ about 600 trained Chief Integrity Officers (CeIOs), from both within and outside the ministries.
They will be answerable to Low, as the minister in charge, as well as the MACC.
"The CeIO plan has already been implemented since December at the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Ministry, the Youth and Sports Ministry, and the Works Ministry," he said after speaking at a forum titled "Givers & Takers: The Integrity-Corruption Continuum" at the Malaysian Institute of Integrity yesterday.
Low said the Health and Education ministries were amongst seven ministries targeted for the plan's implementation this year.
Under the plan, a ministry's internal auditor would be directly accountable to the Auditor-General (A-G) instead of the respective ministry's secretary-general or minister.
With the consent of the Auditor-General's chambers, ministry internal auditors would have the power to call for "one-on-one discussions" with ministers to rectify irregularities and to deal with corruption or serious violations which might lead to criminal charges.
"We must have champions to carry out the transformation within a ministry, so we have set up integrity units to be headed by a trained Chief Integrity Officer who will work closely with the ministries' internal auditors," said Low.
He said the CeIOs would be allowed to operate free of influences of the ministry's executive branch to maintain their independence.
"We need to ensure these CeIO officers are independent of the ministry's executive branch.
"If I am not happy with their performance and there is no integrity, I will make a strong demand to MACC for their removal," he said.
Low said Kedah would be the first state to introduce the CeIOs plan.
"I'm discussing this with Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir who is very enthusiastic about the move," he added.
On DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang's call to him to follow in Hindraf chief P. Waythamoorthy's footsteps and quit the Government, Low said: "But why should I resign? I have not finished my plans (against corruption), come on."
Low said he had a mission to work for the people and wanted to give due diligence to the confidence that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had in making the "brave step" in appointing him to the Cabinet.
"I'm not a quitter. I don't quit so easily. I know what I'm doing and I'm clear on what I need to do, so I do it," he said.
