Three Tallahassee men charged with a January armed robbery will serve at least a decade in prison each.
District Attorney Joe Mulholland says Marty Barber, Joshua Rogers, and Jacob Hutchinson were all found guilty in the armed robbery of a Kangaroo Express on Shotwell St. in Decatur County.
Mulholland says he hopes the thieves' sentences will serve as a warning.
He says. "These young men were in their early 20s and they'll be in their early 30s when they're released, and it just shows you how serious it is when you have a firearm, and clerks."
Barber entered the Kangaroo Express on January 12th with a sawed off shotgun, demanding the contents of the cash register. He fled with $175 to a van where Rogers and Hutchinson were waiting.
Rogers and Hutchinson will both serve ten years, followed by a ten year probation.
Barber will serve fifteen years, followed by a ten year probation.

Sacramento police chief to retire | News
SACRAMENTO, CA - Sacramento Chief of Police Rick Braziel announced he was retiring from the Sacramento Police Department effective Dec. 29.
Braziel took over the helm of the department in January, 2008.
In announcing his resignation, Braziel said one of his primary priorities was to develop a leadership team to take over the reins and he said he believed he had done that.
In interviews with Braziel when he became the police chief, he said he would strive for better customer service and basic community policing. He also had to deal with budget cuts resulting in the loss of fewer patrol officers and other police staff.
In his 33 years with the department, Braziel worked as a K-9 handler, patrol sergeant, patrol watch commander, captain of Metro (SWAT, K-9, bomb squad, air operations and marine), and captain of narcotics and vice divisions, according to the city manager's office.
Braziel joined the department in 1979. His father was also a Sacramento police officer.

Why on earth would you let them anywhere near your DC unsupervised? None of this is ok in my book. My parents get irritated over any instructions I give them - keep in mind - they only babysit when I am still home (albeit in another room for work, etc.) I get the "we raised kids" and I respond with "not this one." You either sign up for the program or you don't play, sorry.
I think your solution is simple. Don't let them unsupervised around your kid.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The rights of states versus the federal government are being argued in a New Jersey courtroom in the battle over the state's efforts to allow legalized sports betting.
Attorneys for the state say a 1992 federal law banning legal betting in all but four states is discriminatory and tramples on the authority of state legislatures.
The four major pro sports leagues, the NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball, and the NCAA sued last year after Gov. Chris Christie signed a sports wagering law and announced his intentions of awarding gambling licenses this year.
The law would allow sports wagering at Atlantic City casinos and the state's horse racing tracks.
A judge is expected to rule in the next few months.

US lingerie giant Victoria's Secret has withdrawn its Sexy Little Geisha outfit after the costume was branded 'tasteless' by critics.
The outfit, which was modelled by Candice Swanepoel, formed part of the retailer's Go Eastern section. It included an 'Eastern-inspired' sheer mesh teddy and matching Japanese fan and chopsticks.
The Sexy Little Geisha garment - described on the website as 'your ticket to an exotic adventure' - was slammed by the likes of Race blog Racialicious, who called it 'a troubling attempt to sidestep authentic representation of a culture and opt instead for racialised fetishising against Asian women'.
It added: "There's a long-standing trend to represent Asian women as hyper-sexualised objects of fantasy, so it's telling that none of the models wearing the Go East collection appear to be Asian.
"Donning a 'sexy Geisha' outfit to get the ball rolling in the bedroom remains offensive because it confirms a paradigm in which Asian people and their culture can be modified and sexualised and appropriated for the benefit of the West."
Women's website The Frisky also condemned the costume, stating: "Considering the complicated history of geishas, re-purposing the [geisha] 'look' for a major corporation to sell as role-playing lingerie seems a bit tasteless."

"A bit of the South" Awasa by flynboxes
Awasa Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 22 photos
While I did not have time to head into the true South ie: Arba Minch etc..
I did take a day trip down here. I guess they call Awasa the capital of the Southern Nations? half of the fun for me was just getting here...passed my share of car accidents and had to make the mandatory stops to let the cows get out of the road. Maybe I'm a simpleton but I enjoyed the scenery on the way down a bit more than I did the lake itself. Anyway it made for a great break from the dust of Addis.
- Pros:A great but long day trip from Addis
- Cons:my first real taste of mosquitos in Ethiopia
- In a nutshell:Glad I did it

Presentation at Web 2.0 Expo
Updated March 31 2011: I didn't realize how immediately relevant this presentation would be. The MAIN point in the presentation was that I feared a setback in Open Data if we didn't move fast to prove the value of these efforts to the public sector. Only two days later comes the news that the US government is closing down Data.gov!
I added a rough transcript of my talk below, but I also touched up on this subject in this interview at Web 2.0 Expo.
Below are the slides from our session on "The Business of Open Data" at Web 2.0 Expo in March 2011:
As you are probably all aware of, Open Data has been a rising trend over the past few years. Many governments, international organizations and other public sector institutions all over the world have made available vast amounts of data that previously was hard or impossible to get at, and these three gentlemen have been among the most influential in that process.
Obama announced already on his first day in office that all government agencies should make their data available as long as it didn't threaten security, privacy or other higher priorities. He hired – for the first time in history – a dedicated CIO for the USA, Vivek Kundra and the government has since opened up a data portal, data.gov where thousands of data sets have been made readily available.
Tim Berners-Lee – the father of the world-wide web, no less – has been a key advocate for open data and among other things been consulting the last two UK governments in setting policies and building the data.gov.uk portal. He also had a room full of TED attendees chanting "Raw data now" to great fanfare.
Last but not least – Hans Rosling, a Swedish professor and admittedly one of my greatest heros – has shown many of us how data and open access can not only change our presumptions about the world and enlighten us, but also how it can be done in an extremely entertaining manner. With his wit and humour he has convinced organizations such as the World Bank to completely change their approach to data and open up their data collections.
And this trend is spreading. This map shows the countries where open government data portals have been established.
Admittedly the map is a bit misleading. Large bits of the world are colored, but these are only 14 out of the 193 countries of the world. But the trend is there and a new government data portal is opened almost every month now. I wouldn't be surprised if this was already out of date.
And – as previously mentioned – international organizations such as the World Bank and the UN have also followed suit.
So, in short – this is an emerging trend. It's off to a good start but there is still a long way to go.
Now think for a minute what this means. It means that data, gathered in thousands of man years, that previously was hard or impossible to get at, has now been made available to us to do with whatever we like.
To hammer that point home I sometimes talk about the people that lived here. This is a lighthouse called Hornbjargsviti in Northern Iceland, close to the Arctic circle. For over 60 years people lived in this isolated place, and they had two responsibilities:
- To keep the light in the lighthouse lit, and;
- gather data about the weather.
Every 6 hours the inhabitants in this lonely place went out and noted down the temperature, wind, humidity, percipitation, visibility and so on and so forth. Every day, every week of every year for more than 60 years like clockwork.
And this is just one weather station. There are over 200 of them in Iceland, each and every one with a similar story. And that's still just weather data, in Iceland alone.
So when I say that thousands of man-years have been spent on gathering the data that is now being made available to us, I'm certainly not exaggerating. It's probably hundreds of thousands of man years.
Imagine the value in all that work – in all that data! The results of hundreds of thousands of man years have been made available to us, just like that – and we can do with it what we like.
So what have we done with it so far?
There has been some cool innovation. Here's a screenshot form Everyblock, a great site that uses data from a variety of open sources to create hyper-local media – something that matters to every block.
Some corruption has been exposed. Here's an article detailing how open data exposed criminal activity in the charitable sector in Canada and saved the Canadian taxpayers $3.2 billion dollars.
We've seen some fantastic examples of data journalism with organizations such as The Guardian and NY Times – pictured here – leading the way.
And we've seen loads of great apps that use open data to make people's lives easier. Some really innovative, really useful apps, many coming out of open data contests like these. These are all names of actual contest that have been held by governments. You'll be quick to notice a trend. A focus on apps. A focus on simple, small things – still very useful – but each only tapping into a tiny bit of the vast amount of data that has been made available.
But wait a minute… we weren't only promised small things. The most prominent advocates promised that Open Data would
- Cause a wave of innovation
- Change the face of journalism forever
- and rid us of corruption in politics and business for good
We were promised that Open Data would change the world… and it hasn't.
Let's get back to the data a bit. The data that has been made available – the hundereds of thousands of man years that I mentioned earlier – has a lot of value. It has value to pretty much every business, household and organization out there to make better decisions and better plan for the future.
But most of them don't know that … yet. Most of them don't even realize the vast amount of data that is already there, open and free of charge, and how relevant it can be to them.
In order to realize the full potential of Open Data we must make ALL of the data easily accessible and help people discover it while keeping it open and free of charge.
But how do we do that? The world's governments are hardly going to throw a lot of money at this at the moment, as they struggle to stay afloat in debt and keeping the core services running. It can be hard enough to convince them that the tiny effort needed to make the data available in its raw form is worth-while.
No, this will only happen if we find some business plans around Open Data that allow the private sector to tap into the value created – WITHOUT locking the data behind a pay-wall.
And this is what we're trying to do at DataMarket.
This is the front page of our data portal: DataMarket.com. What we have here is a search engine for numerical information. I sometimes describe what we are building as "Google for statistics", a place where you can – within 3-4 years – come and trust that if the numbers exist out there: Statistics, measurements, market research, financial data, whatever – you can find it there. And not only open, public data – but also premium data: data that is only available for a fee.
We're not there yet, but DataMarket is still pretty darn impressive already. We've integrated to data from over 50 organizations, including the UN, World Bank and Eurostat and made all of that available to search, visualize, analyze and download, right there on DataMarket.com
I'll run you through a quick example – this is all live and available so you can do the same right there on your machines.
Let's say we want to know something about gold prices. We simply type in the keywords and hit Enter.
The results that come back are data sets from our data providers. This particular query returns 13 data sets – a mixture of public and premium data. As a matter of fact our first premium data sets were just launched today – so make you can make that your soundbite if you plan to tweet, blog or write about this presentation
Click through to any of the results – the premium ones will ask you for payment information first – this is what you immediately get: A nice looking, interactive graph where you can further manipulate, compare, visualize or download the data, post it on Facebook or Twitter or even receive an embed code that allows you to post an interactive version of the graph you just made with any blog post or news article. Admittedly – this Guardian screenshot is a fake, but this is what it would look like: Interactive and connected to the live – underlying data.
And despite that we just started, there's plenty of data in there already:
- Over 100 million time series
- From more than 14 thousand data sets
- Spanning almost 800 years
…and the philosophy is that if the data is open and free to begin with, it's still open and free on DataMarket.com, just easier to find and use.
So how do we make money then? What is the "Business of Open Data"? Looking at the players in the market we've identified several trends:
- Making and selling specialized apps like the ones we discussed earlier – each may have quite different business models based on the merits of the app itself
- Advertisements. This can be done if you can build enough traffic. This is in the end the business model for efforts such as Google Public Data and Wolfram|Alpha – both of whom I define as "data markets" in a sense.
- Reading in the data and making it available through APIs for other developers to create apps as per the point above. This is the stated business model of companies such as Factual, Infochimps, the inconveniently named Windows Azure Marketplace DataMarket launched last October.
- Selling pro subscriptions that give users access to additional features on top of the data, without limiting access to the data itself.
- and finally: Mixing open data with premium data that is only available for those users that pay for access to it. Effectively creating a data market where access to data becomes a traded product made available – not only to developers, but to the end users of data, answering their questions directly and improving their plans.
At DataMarket, our focus is on the last two, as we are an end user facing service, aiming to make all numerical data availble to end users. We actually believe that this is a quite unique mix. Selling premium and proprietary data is already big business. Just think of Reuters and Bloomberg in terms of financial data; and Gartner, Forrester and IDC in market research. These services turn over billions of dollars annually, and have in some cases mangaged to make data that is – at least now – available open and free – look to be proprietary – faux-proprietary – as a friend of mine called it. We're not going after these guys with real-time financial data, but for the rest we're coming in with a radically different model aimed at a far wider audience.
That said, we DO have an API and it IS the best place to connect programmatically to data from most of the providers we've already integrated to, but it is not core to our focus. The whole model – pricing and features alike – is set up so that we can make all the valuable data that has been opened up in recent government efforts more easily accessible to the public, while business users and other heavy users of the data can subscribe to features and/or data if they have the reasons and resources to do so.
To be honest. I think we – the Big Data Nerds of the world – must step up our efforts to prove the value of Open Data efforts to the governments and agencies involved.
We need think BIG and look beyond apps and smaller geek projects to larger solutions that work with the bulk of the available data so that whenever the public sector opens up a new data source in raw format, they know that it will be picked up and potential users helped to realize its full value.

For years, southsiders who wanted to buy organic vegetables or health foods had to drive to the north side of Indianapolis to get it.
When an organic supermarket opened in Noblesville two years ago, customers repeatedly told store managers they came from the Greenwood area to get their fix of fresh produce, organic meats or healthy snacks, and they wanted a store near them, too.
In the past month, two stores have planted themselves in new locations on the southside, offering organic meats and produce, foods free of artificial chemicals and specialty foods, such as gluten-free items. This week, Earth Fare will open a market on County Line Road.
About a month ago, Fresh Thyme opened a store less than a half-mile away on U.S. 31.
The southside has a large and growing population but didn't have any health food grocers, which made it a good location to target, according to Amanda Arnet, Earth Fare new store marketing manager. Since residents frequently asked for a store, it was a good sign that there was enough demand for a new location, she said.
Residents in Greenwood, the Center Grove area and the southside have pushed for a health food grocer, such as Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. Those types of businesses, which are prevalent on the north side of Indianapolis, specialize in fresh produce, organic meats and natural foods. Residents want those types of stores nearby where they can get healthier foods or specialty items supermarkets don't have room to stock, Center Grove area resident Joyce Long said.
Earth Fare, which has 33 stores in nine states, decided to look at Greenwood as a result of the comments store managers were hearing, Arnet said.
They heard from Greenwood residents so much that they passed the requests on to the corporate office, which did research to find out whether a store would be viable in the area.
"The people of Greenwood brought us to Greenwood. We wish we could have built it sooner. We're still growing in a lot of areas," Arnet said.
The demand for health foods in the county has been growing for years, Long said. She has been making trips to Trader Joe's locations on the north side of Indianapolis for years when she needs items, such as specialty breads, cheese, olive oil or coconut oil, she said.
Long loyally buys some Trader Joe's brands, so she still plans to shop there, but the nearby markets will save trips when she needs items such as fresh produce or cheese, she said.
"It's better to have Earth Fare and Fresh Thyme market than not have any options, and I hear they're going to be different. It will lessen our trips to Trader Joe's because of gas prices," Long said.
As more studies are released about the impacts of certain chemicals in food or artificial coloring or sweeteners, people seek out healthier alternatives, Long said. The large organic markets are able to offer those food options at prices that are competitive with typical supermarkets, she said.
Those shoppers are the ones being targeted by Earth Fare, Arnet said.
Shoppers don't have to read the label when they pick up a product to look for ingredients they don't want in their food, she said.
"You'll never find high fructose corn syrups, dyes, colors, artificial sweeteners," Arnet said. "Our customers ask us, and they've told us we're ready for your store with a strict food policy."
Even with another organic market less than a half-mile away, Arnet expects that the new store will flourish because so many shoppers won't need to travel to the northside any more for their health foods.
Fresh Thyme opened in mid-June, and the store has remained consistently busy since, store director David Breland said.
Business has been surprisingly good, he said, and the most common complaint they've heard is that the store and checkout lines have been too busy when people come in.
"We've seen tremendous support from the community. We have been very well received, and the product we're offering is something they've been looking for for a long time," Breland said.

Tallahassee didn't let it rain on its parade today.
Hundreds headed downtown for annual springtime Tallahassee events.
"We were waiting for the rain to stop but then we were coming we all had our ponchos we were in for it," Stacy Paddack of Tallahassee said.
But the crowd didn't even need their ponchos.
"At the last minute the skies cleared. Sombody has a connection up there. We're thankful for that," Park Tramell, Chair of Judges Committee said.
Because of the early morning thunder and lightning about 40 of the 116 groups in the parade had to cancel.
But the show still went on. Our WCTV news team walked the route along our live truck.
There was a Spanish float, a circus float, and the traditional horse and buggie. Everyone had a favorite.
"Probably the Batman one,"Michael Knisley said. "Yeah that one was good," Eli Paddack added.
Springtime Tallahassee is tradition for many families. Kids we talked to say they look forward to the parade every year.
The fun didn't stop after the parade was over. Folks came downtown ate some local food, shopped at some of the vendors and just enjoyed themselves

The MAC Hermann Trophy is the highest individual intercollegiate award presented annually during a January banquet at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis. NCAA Division I coaches that are NSCAA College Services members may vote for their top choices Wednesday, Dec. 4 through Tuesday, Dec. 10 within myNSCAA on NSCAA.com. Soccer fans can also let their collective voice be heard by voting for their favorite player on the MAC's website hosted by LockerDome, starting Thursday, Dec. 5. The top three vote-getters from the combined NSCAA coaches and weighted fan votes will be announced as finalists Thursday, Dec. 12, followed by the announcement of the winners at the banquet, Friday, Jan. 10, 2014. "Each year, we look forward to seeing the wealth of talent college soccer presents and working with the Missouri Athletic Club to cap the season by bestowing this prestigious award," NSCAA CEO Joe Cummings said. "We also take pride in knowing that those that know this game the best, coaches and fans, have a hand in selecting these winners." Birnbaum, an All-Pac-12 first team selection and Pac-12 All-Academic first team selection leads the team in points, with 21 and goals, with ten this year for the Golden Bears in 18 appearances, all of which are starts. The redshirt senior and team co-captain has been a fixture in central defense, anchoring a back line that has helped shut out seven opponents in 2013, including the No. 18 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in the third round of the NCAA Division I Men's Tournament on Sunday in Berkeley. The Irvine, Calif. native also scored the gamewinning goal in the second round on an incredible strike from distance against Bradley on Nov. 24. "For more than a quarter century the Missouri Athletic Club has had the privilege of annually honoring the top players in college soccer," MAC director of communications Jim Wilson said. "We look forward to carrying on that tradition this year when we find out who joins the ranks of some of the legends of the game like Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, Claudia Reyna and Alexi Lalas, who all claimed the crystal soccer ball trophy as collegiate players."

CORNELIUS — To complete the next art installation at the Cornelius Arts Center, residents need to bring in some of their trash.
Durham-based artist Bryant Holsenbeck, who also seeks the help of volunteers, will create a piece of art at the center using jar lids and bottle caps to be displayed through April. Cornelius town's Parks, Arts, Recreation and Culture hosts a multitude of events to coincide with Earth Day, including a film screening of "Play Again" and children's art activity April 25. Holsenbeck's work was chosen as it emphasizes the message of being more environmentally friendly.
"While researching North Carolina-based environmental artists, I came across Bryant's work," said Jen Crickenberger, manager of the Cornelius Arts Center. "I was not only impressed with the physical construction of her installations; I also appreciated the motivation behind the work to raise awareness and offer often discarded items a new life as traveling pieces of art."
Holsenbeck became an artist just over a decade ago. She started as a basketmaker, but delved into environmental issues by using her work as a documentation of the amount of "stuff" Americans use once and throw away. On her website, Holsenbeck said because the United States has room to hide waste and the money to buy more, people are blind to what they are doing. She has found a way to transform that trash to create items found in nature, including bears, birds and foxes.
"Bryant's work reminds viewers that discarding small items, like bottle caps, can cause major environmental issues," Crickenberger said. "This exhibit demonstrates the power of upcycled art as one solution to these problems. My hope is that viewers will walk away with a new appreciation for environmental art and a better understanding of the environmental issues we face today. Maybe it will inspire others to upcycle their own trash into a beautiful piece of art."
Holsenbeck wants residents to get involved and help her make her next installation of a mandala at the Cornelius Arts Center.
A symbol from Hinduism and Buddhism representing the universe and cosmos, mandalas are geometric patterns usually encompassing a square with four gates and a circle center point.
Holsenbeck has made several of these large-scale installations using more than 100,000 caps and lids. She relies on the community to complete it. Not only does it allow people to get involved and learn more about the process, Holsenbeck said she needs help simply because of the number of small pieces it entails. She prefers people older than 10 to volunteer, Holsenbeck added.
"I love adults who come because I don't think learning about the environment should be just for kids," Holsenbeck said. "Adults are growing and just like kids, they are learning. I'm learning all of the time."
For example, she used to make birds out of shredded credit cards until she discovered the glue was toxic. While she isn't sure her work will change anyone's life, her overall aim is make people more aware, she said.
Hoslenbeck said she always liked nature and making things, but doesn't know what propelled her to combine her interests. But she is grateful for communities like Cornelius who are putting more of a focus on the environment. She hopes that her art may speak louder than simply a fact sheet because, she said, many people are "bored by the numbers."
"I'm just one of a million people trying to do that," she said. "I can't tell you want makes a difference. I do what I do because I'm inspired to do it."
Want to help? Residents are asked to donate colorful and metal bottle caps and lids, which will be used in an upcoming installation by artist Bryant Holsenbeck. Items can be dropped off 9 a.m.-noon. Feb. 28 and March 1 at the Cornelius Arts Center, 19725 Oak St. Volunteers are needed March 4-6 to help Holsenbeck put the installation together. Call 704-896-8823 to make an appointment. A reception to see the mandala and meet Holsenbeck is scheduled for 6:30-9 p.m. March 7 at the Cornelius Arts Center, though the installation is available for viewing during arts center hours throughout April.

One Door Away from Heaven by Dean Koontz
Back Page Blurb
Micky Bellsong has a history of making wrong choices, especially in men. Her life has no direction and she is looking for change. Living with her aunt in a trailer park her life also has no meaning until she meets a precocious girl Leilani, who is nine years old. She follows this girl and her family across the country because she feels that the girl's life is in danger from her stepfather and drug weird mother. Curtis is a very strange boy with supernatural powers who is also travelling the country in fear of his life from alien forces. Curtis tags on to a dog who helps him in lots of his adventures and is an important part of this zany plot.
Book Review
I have been a fan of Koontz for a lot of years, but I don't think this is up to his usual standard of writing. The book is really far too long and is rambling at times, and made me feel frustrated to get on with the plot. The characters however are amusing and in the case of auntGeneva, quite original and unexpected, as she was shot in the head some time in the past and lives the life in her head of movie actresses and confuses her real memories with films she has seen. Very funny in context.
There is a bit of suspense when the children are in danger, but the story is not paced fast enough to really get you excited and the young people in the story are just too cute to be realistic.
On the other hand the dog is marvellously portrayed and I loved the gun totting girly twins.
The philosophy portrayed in the book reminds me of 'From the corner of his Eye' which I felt was a tremendous story by this writer and have read it twice, a rare occurrence for me. Bioethics and science fiction fit together surprisingly well here and they are both essentials of the story. I did finish this book as I usually always do, but it took me a while. I enjoyed the clever and often very funny dialogue, but I was a bit disappointed with the over written feel to it and the too too happy ever after ending. I will read more of this writer's books but will be careful to take notice of some other review sites first, as they are often very helpful, and are fast becoming addictive for me before buying any book.

Privatization in the International Petroleum Industry: The Interplay between Politics, Economics, and Reliance
Rhea, John E., Denver Journal of International Law and Policy
Since the discovery of oil, world power brokers have fought over the price, production, and control of the once vast and still vital natural resource, (1) Some allege that the recent occupation of Iraq is motivated by the control over oil supplies in the Persian Gulf. (2) This view suggests that recent military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq are in truth, strategic precursors for the eminent wars to procure oil. (3) Yet, the critical discussion, in this writer's opinion, should contemplate how the world will function without oil and how civilization will come to terms with the fact that fossil fuels as an energy resource are no longer an inexhaustible resource. (4) In the very near future the world will experience an energy crisis and a shock to economic systems much like that experienced in the 1970s and mid-1980s. Only this time, the end of production will not be the result of any unilateral exercise of sovereign power. Instead, the crisis will result from an actual worldwide depletion of fossil fuel resources. Some predict that petroleum (5) resources will peak by the year 2020 (6) and that by the year 2080, petroleum resources will be completely exhausted. (7) The grim reality that crude oil is indeed a finite resource places a real threat to the way of life of developed countries and will drastically impair world economies. Currently, the world consumes over thirty billion barrels of oil per day (bpd). (8) The United States alone consumes approximately ten billion bpd (9) and by 2025, U.S. consumption is expected to balloon to nearly thirty-five billion bpd. (10) As world populations and demand grow at a faster rate than production, the global energy outlook becomes disastrous.
Dr. M. King Hubbert, discussed infra, alerted the world in 1950 that petroleum was a finite resource and that the production of conventional oil would reach its peak between 1970 and 1980. (11) At which point we would have used half of all the recoverable oil that ever existed on our planet. (12) This alarming information has likely been known to previous administrations. Surely the Bush Administration, through the eyes of Vice President, Dick Cheney, is well aware of the impending crisis. (13) For instance, Cheney, a former Halliburton executive, stated during a speech to the International Petroleum Institute in 1999 that: "by the year 2010 we [the world] will need on the order of an additional 50 million bpd." (14) It is further estimated that by 2020 the world will require 120 billion bpd for economic growth. (15) Rather frighteningly, for oil-dependent countries, a mere 10 to 15 percent shortfall between demand and supply can trigger an enormous economic crisis. (16) In short, in apocalyptic fashion, life as we know it will cease as world oil supplies come to an end.
Be clear that there is no feasible replacement for oil. An end to world reliance on fossil fuel based energy in the form of renewable energy or other alternative energy sources is at best a supplement but more realistically a theoretical fantasy. In most cases, oil is required to develop these alternatives to oil. (17) For example, oil is required in the mining and extraction of the hard rock minerals required to develop solar power. (18) Moreover, recovering "oil" from oil shale also requires the use of crude oil to convert the oil shale into a usable product. (19) Additionally, the promise offered by fuel cells is questionable due to limited global reserves of platinum. (20) Thus, despite efforts to develop alternative energy resources, petroleum remains the world's primary source of energy. (21)
In this writer's view, energy companies, heads of states, and the major power brokers of the primary consuming countries, should realize that reliance on oil suppliers with hidden political agendas and narcissistic international policies like those of Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf, can no longer be entrusted to bear the sole key to the future of the energy market place. …

November 28, 2008, November 28, 2008-- With recent studies showing that many Americans may not be getting enough vitamin D and debates erupting over increasing the recommended daily allowance from 200 to 2,000 IUs, Swanson Health Products is offering the new SunSplash 8 Tanning System.
Located in Fargo, ND, Swanson employees know how it feels to be exposed to cold, cloudy weather from November to March-- even April! Staying indoors is the popular activity as the mercury drops below zero. With the SunSplash 8 Tanning system , the sun can shine 12 months out of the year. Boasting 8 lamps that produce UVA and UVB rays, SunSplash 8 is the next best thing to the sun.
Sunless tanning lotions are incredibly popular today, but they aren't able to stimulate a true tan. Getting the right color can only be achieved when UVA rays cause pigment to rise to the surface of the skin, while UVB rays change it from pink to a flattering shade of brown. The SunSplash 8 eliminates the mess and frustration experienced with sunless tanners too.
The SunSplash 8 is a convenient way to enjoy the benefits of a tanning salon at home without having to worry about the hygiene of others. Simply hang the head-to-toe unit on a wall or door, plug it into any 120 volt outlet and turn it on. Stand six inches away from the unit and listen to music or relax in complete silence. After ten minutes turn around. Do this no more than three times a week to maintain a beautiful tan year 'round.
Each lamp in the SunSplash 8 Tanning System is rated for at least 1,000 hours of heavy duty usage. That's nearly 20 years of use at one hour a week. It comes with a timer plus a backup timing device that automatically turns it off after 11 minutes. Each unit is 95 percent assembled when it arrives and requires only minimal assembly. SunSplash 8 is manufactured in the USA by the leader in home tanning systems. Purchase the SunSplash 8 Tanning System and receive "Dark Deception", a book by Dr. Joseph Mercola that challenges the widespread notion that the sun is harmful for us, FREE! Now through December, purchase the SunSplash 8 Tanning System at Swanson Health Products and receive a $100 gift certificate with your order on future purchases.

CA Public Employee Unions behind Democrat bill to slap non-union contractors with a Scarlet Letter … [Darleen Click]
… or maybe a Yellow Star
Senate Bill 556 is another sad example of how legislative Democrats can't say no to their main benefactor, public employee unions, even at the expense of the voters they represent. This bill is costly, unnecessary and meddlesome — a legislative solution in search of a problem.
Authored by Sen. Ellen Corbett of San Leandro, SB 556 would require contract employees working for state or local governments to affix notices to their uniforms or vehicles that identify them as "not a government employee." According to the Assembly Judiciary Committee analysis, Corbett thinks "this bill is needed to ensure that members of the public can visually distinguish between government employees and nongovernment employees who are increasingly subcontracted to perform services once exclusively the domain of true public employees."
We would be curious to know which members of the public are clamoring for more signage in their lives so they can distinguish between contractors and true public employees.
Is there a petition drive we missed?
Have there been mass rallies at the Capitol on this cause that have escaped our attention?
We hoped Corbett might enlighten us on these matters, but her staff said she was too busy to comment. That leaves us little option but to conclude the intent of her bill is clear and simple: To stigmatize private contractors with a scarlet letter.

Delicious. My hubby made these yesterday for our dessert after dinner with our son and 12 year old grandson. He did the ramekin version using half of a frozen pie crust cut into strips, topped them with fat free cool whip. The boys gave them a thumbs up and said they didn't taste like diet food. This recipe has been printed and put into my WW favorite recipes notebook.
I have made this for two holidays in a row and it is a big hit. My grandchildren will eat this even though they have all kinds of sweets to choose from. My sister and I don't feel deprived with this recipe, we actually look forward to our special treat. :)
I made this last Thanksgiving and it came out delicious! It was supposed to be for me and my sister who are doing WW; but my grandkids tasted it and we couldn't keep them out of it. I am going to make it again this year and add some cranberries.
Its great. I eat it in my oatmeal every morning.
