Do you think we have the technology to improve our lifestyle? when do you think money is gonna be out of your mind?
DragonKillerman 18-21, M 3 Answers 3 Nov 11, 2012 in Hobbies
Technology has improved lifestyle of all cultures throughout the world. It will continue to do so. Money is a trust or belief. You believe you money is good because others do as well. As soon as the disbelief in the trust of money as an acceptable trading unit happens, then money is worthless.

Watch out for turtles crossingMay 06,2013The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is reminding drivers that reptiles and amphibians are on the move this time of year.
The agency said amphibians migrate by the thousands each spring looking for breeding pools. They can frequently cross roads contributing to high rates of mortality among some species.
The Fish and Wildlife Department has been working to identify stretches of road where migrations take place and is working with the state Agency of Transportation to include culverts and wildlife barriers in road construction plans.
Most amphibian crossings take place on several rainy spring nights. Steve Parren, the departments wildlife diversity program director, said many frogs and salamanders are already well into their breeding season.
He said by late May turtles will start crossing roads to build nests in sandy embankments.MORE IN This Just InColleges merger

"Montreal alternative rockers Chair Warriors have released their EP A Thousand Words, a brilliant piece, the work of pure geniuses. I admit that I had not heard of the band beforehand, thus leaving me unsure of what to expect. Now I know I will remember their name whenever it will be brought up, and all of this with good reasons. A Thousand Words is composed of six heart-wrenching harmonious melodies all strung together by a powerful yet enchanting voice. While this album features layers of dark and melancholic tones, it would be a mistake to dismiss its expressive splendor."

Labor-Use Efficiency in Indian Banking: A Branch Level Analysis
This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis to measure labor use efficiency of individual branches of a large public sector bank with several thousand branches across India. We find considerable variation in the average levels of efficiency across the four metropolitan regions considered in this study. In this context, we introduce the concept of area or spatial efficiency for each region relative to the nation as a whole. Our findings suggest that the policies, procedures, and incentives handed down from the corporate level cannot fully neutralize the influence of the local work culture in the different regions. Most of the potential reduction in labor cost appears to be coming from possible downsizing the clerical and subordinate staff. Our analysis identifies branches that operate at very low levels of efficiency and may be gainfully merged with other branches wherever possible.

And, though the actress admits getting drawn to well-etched female characters, she admits that men don't appreciate women who are strong.

One of the things that makes Drupal great is the power it puts into the hands of non-developers to do awesome and amazing things on the web. A large portion of our community made a transition from non-developer to developer thanks to the accessibility/hackability of Drupal from an API perspective in Drupal 7 and below. In Drupal 8, however, things have become more... complicated. While flexibility is greatly increased, so too is the mental overhead as well as verbosity for doing even simple tasks.
This initiative is about making some key changes to the "DX" (developer experience) of Drupal in order to make it more accessible to people who need to extend Drupal to make it do cool things, but don't necessarily have a background in programming.
Please tell the core developers about it; we'd love for you to love Drupal 8 as much as we do!
PHP 5.3 introduces namespaces to the language. This page documents how namespaces should be referenced within Drupal and it assumes that you are familiar with the concept of namespaces. (If not, you can have a look at this article introducing namespaces.)
Not all files in Drupal declare a namespace. As of Drupal 8 an increasing number of files do, but not all. Prior to Drupal 8 virtually no code used namespaces, in order to remain compatible with PHP 5.2. There are therefore two slightly different standards.
Drupal follows common PHP conventions for object-oriented code, and established industry best practices. As always, though, there are Drupal-specific considerations.
Drupal is a registered trademark of Dries Buytaert.

Subaru WRX 2008-2014, Vista Rood Cargo Bag by SportRack®. Cargo Roof Bag gives you additional cargo carrying capacity at a great value. It mounts quickly and conveniently on the roof, even if you only have side rails, and collapses and compacts for easy storage. Cargo Bag can carry up 13-15 cu. ft. of cargo, protected by its durable, weather resistant construction. Cargo Bag mounts directly to most original equipment and aftermarket crossbars with the included straps.

Easy to Attach
Easy to attach to roof racks or raised side rails.
Water Resistant Nylon
Made from water resistant nylon to help keep contents dry.

The Sherpa Roof Bag gives you utility and convenience at a great price. A 13 cu. ft. capacity hardshell cargo box can haul a lot of gear, but it takes up a lot of room in the garage when you're not using it. The Sherpa can carry the same amount of gear, but collapses fast and compacts for easy storage. A hardshell cargo box also requires a roof rack with cross bars, but the Sherpa can be mounted to vehicles with only side rails.
The Sherpa comes equipped with heavy-duty straps that can be used to secure the bag to load bars, side rails or both. It can be mounted to most original equipment and aftermarket crossbars. Heavy-duty zippers secure the Sherpa's storage compartment. The bag is treated with a water repellent coating to help protect the contents of the bag from the weather.
The Sherpa Roof Bag comes with everything required for installation, including detailed instructions.

SportRack was acquired by cargo/recreational equipment carrier industry giant Thule in 2006, however the company's focus on "easy on/easy off" products has continued to this day. SportRack's range of products includes roof rack systems, and roof mounted cargo boxes, bike, watercraft, and snowsport carriers, hitch and trunk/hatch mount bike carriers, and accessories. True to the company's philosophy, SportRack carriers are easy to mount, easy to load, and will deliver safe, secure, and economical transport for all your recreational gear.

Jodhaa Akbar is a sixteenth century love story about a political marriage of convenience between a Mughal emperor, Akbar, and a Rajput princess, Jodhaa.
Political success knew no bounds for Emperor Akbar. After having secured the Hindu Kush, his empire extends from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal, and from the Himalayas to the Narmada River. Through a shrewd blend of diplomacy, intimidation and brute force, Akbar won the allegiance of the Rajputs. This allegiance was not universal. But little did Akbar know that when he married Jodhaa, a fiery Rajput princess, in order to further strengthen his relations with the Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking upon a new journey � the journey of true love.
The daughter of King Bharmal of Amer, Jodhaa resented being reduced to a mere political pawn in this marriage of alliance, and Akbar's biggest challenge now lies in winning the love of Jodhaa � a love hidden deep below resentment and extreme prejudice

I tried it with the Star Alliance member Mexicana and it was "you can only accrue miles with this partner, but you can't use them" (after I had booked the flight)
Before booking the next flight with SIA I called Miles and More to verify that I would be able to use my miles for an upgrade. After booking the flight I tried to get the upgrade and it was "sorry, it did not go through, all the upgrades are gone"
I called Singapore Airlines and the answer was: "Star Alliance members can only accrue miles on our flights but they are not eligible for upgrades"
This information was different than the information on Lufthansa's website that lists SIA explicitly as a partner on which a Miles and More cardholder can get an upgrade. I wrote a letter to SIA asking them to give it to me in writing that Star Alliance members are not eligible for upgrades but after more than a month I have not received a response. They would not answer my emails either.
After submitting my boarding passes to Miles and More a note was put into my account: "This booking class (Y) does not accrue miles"
Miles and More does not mention anywhere that they honor certain flights with their Star Alliance partner with zero miles. Actually I could have chosen a flight with about 15 hours less flighttime/ layovers for about 1/2 the price using Hawaiian Airlines. The only reason I decided to use SIA (with over 12 hours layover in Singapore) was the option of getting an upgrade.
Miles and More and SIA pissed me off completely, if they believe that this is a way to gain the customers loyalty they are wrong and I hope that I am not the only one.

My favorite time of the year: The Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic Fitness Expo weekend!
For the last three years the UFC has occupied Nationwide Arena on the Saturday night of the Arnold Classic weekend. The Arnold Classic is held at The Greater Columbus Convention Center with the UFC holding their event around the corner at Nationwide Arena.
This year the UFC has passed the torch off to the WEC, who will make its first trip to the Arnold Classic weekend. For those who are not familiar with the Arnold Classic, it is a very large bodybuilding show and expo. One can purchase a ticket to go inside of the expo and meet fighters, bodybuilders, and a lot more famous or recognizable athletes/fighters. The expo features a variety of competitions and brings in around 100,000 people annually, many of whom are fight fans.
This year it will be WEC 47: Bowles vs. Cruz taking over the weekend. Bowles knocked out Miguel "Angel" Torres back at WEC 42 to capture the 135lb championship. At the time, Torres was ranked in the Top 5 pound for pound list and was on a red hot 17-fight win streak. Stepping in to face Bowles is 14-1 Dominick Cruz, fresh off a victory over Joseph Benavidez and riding a five-fight win streak.
Bowles will no doubt be the crowd favorite as he once resided in the neighboring state of West Virginia where he was born in the capital city of Charleston. Bowles himself is on a very impressive undefeated streak with an 8-0 record featuring wins over Miguel Torres, Will Ribeiro, Damacio Page, and Charlie Valencia. None of Bowles' eight professional bouts have gone the distance with three wins via knockout and five via submission.
Bowles is here to prove his knockout of Miguel Torres was the real deal and no fluke. Everyone in attendance and watching around the world can expect fireworks from Bowles and Dominick Cruz when the two meet on March 6.
Joining Bowles on the card will be the man he defeated to capture the championship along with former UFC lightweight champion Jens 'lil evil" Pulver. Will Torres taste victory and earn himself a re-match with Bowles and can Pulver re-gain momentum in his quest back to the top, all of which will be answered on fight night come March 6.
Announced fight card:
Main Card:
Brian Bowles (8-0: #1 Bantamweight) vs. Dominick Cruz (14-1: #4 Bantamweight)
Miguel Torres (37-2: #2 Bantamweight) vs. Joseph Benavidez (11-1)
Jens Pulver (22-12-1) vs. Javier Vazquez (13-4)
Karen Darabedyan vs. Bart Palaszewski
Deividas Taurosevicius (12-3) vs. L.C. Davis (15-2)

What is in this article?:
- Pollinators take hint from humidity
- Black Friday
- A new finding contains the first documented case of a pollinator using humidity as a direct cue in its foraging behavior.
- Unlike previously recognized cues used by pollinators such as flower size, shape or color, which don't necessarily reveal anything about the actual nectar levels waiting inside, the humidity evaporating from the flower's nectar provides an "honest" signal to a potential visitor.
Until about 140 million years ago, dinosaurs had been munching their way through a uniformly green plant world. What happened then is one of evolution's greatest success stories, heralding a new kind of ecological relationship that would transform the planet: The first flowers appeared, competing for the attention of animals to visit them and distribute their pollen to other flowers to ensure the plant's propagation.
The myriad of ways in which flowers attract pollinators have been studied since the beginning of biology, and few ecological relationships between organisms are as well understood as those between plants and their pollinators.
Despite decades of research, a team led by Martin von Arx, a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Goggy Davidowitz in the University of Arizona department of entomology, now has discovered a previously unknown sensory channel that is used in plant-animal interactions.
The white-lined sphinx (Hyles lineata), the most common species of hawkmoth in North America, can detect minuscule differences in humidity when hovering near a flower that tells it if there is enough nectar inside to warrant a visit.
The findings constitute the first documented case of a pollinator using humidity as a direct cue in its foraging behavior and are published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The study, "Floral humidity as a reliable sensory cue for profitability assessment by nectar-foraging hawkmoths," is co-authored by Davidowitz and Joaquín Goyret and Robert Raguso at the department of neurobiology and behavior at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where the work was carried out.
"Traditionally, most research on plant-pollinator interactions has focused on static cues like floral scent, color or shape," von Arx said. "All this time, evaporation from nectar was right under our noses, but few people ever looked. We were able to show that the insects actually perceive this cue, and it allows them to directly assess the reward that they might get from the flower."
Unlike previously recognized cues used by pollinators such as flower size, shape or color, which don't necessarily reveal anything about the actual nectar levels waiting inside, the humidity evaporating from the flower's nectar provides an "honest" signal to a potential visitor. Scent, for example, is independent of nectar, which is odorless in most plants, whereas the fragrance usually is produced by the petals.
"We were always intrigued by this question," von Arx said. "Given that the known cues like flower shape and color are independent of the abundance of nectar, we were wondering if there is some other cue the insects might use. You would expect natural selection to favor an ability to sense a cue that is directly linked to the nectar reward."
To a hawkmoth setting out at dusk to search for nectar-bearing flowers of one of its favorite plants, the tufted evening primrose (Oenothera cespitosa), being able to quickly tell whether a flower is worth visiting, can make the difference between life and death.
Hovering in front of a flower while probing it with its long proboscis – the moth's "tongue" – is one of the most energetically costly modes of flight, von Arx explained. And once the insect plunges its head deep inside to reach all of the nectar, it is very vulnerable to predators such as bats.
"The metabolic cost of hovering in hawkmoths is more than 100 times that of a moth at rest," said Davidowitz. "This is the most costly mode of locomotion ever measured. An individual hawkmoth may spend 5-10 seconds evaluating whether a flower has nectar, multiply that by hundreds of flowers visited a night, and the moth is expending a huge amount of energy searching for nectar that may not be there. The energy saved by avoiding such behavior can go into making more eggs. For a moth that lives only about a week, that is a very big deal."

The parking brake may not release automatically due to a failed vacuum switch or actuator. Our technicians tell us that if vacuum is supplied to the actuator when the transmission is in gear, the vacuum switch is functioning and replacing the actuator should correct this concern.
Problems with the anti-theft systems using the raised-chip key can prevent the car from starting. The wires in the steering column to the ignition lock cylinder tend to break. The the key and ignition lock cylinder must be replaced to correct this condition.
An intake manifold vacuum leak can develop from a variety of sources, often causing illumination of the Check Engine Light with codes P0171 & P0174 stored. Thorough diagnoses will be necessary to pinpoint the cause in order to make the correct repairs. A "smoke" machine is often used to isolate the cause of difficult to find vacuum leaks.

The Goon needs a video game, and so do these comics, too!
- Written by Destructoid
I'm not a fan of "The Capes" when it comes to comic books, but I understand why they're such an easy fit for video games. Superheroes are proactive investigators and brawlers with adventures based solely around their exploits. Their worlds are ready made, their rogues galleries are fully fleshed out, and their main goal is to excite the audience with thrills and spills.
So, for years it was pretty disheartening to know the comics I adored couldn't get a foothold in the gaming industry, despite having the potential. It's only until recently that, thanks to the success of The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, the door opened a little for the leftfield titles. Granted, The Wolf Among Us worked because Bigby's role as Fabletown's sheriff was the perfect piggyback into his world -- investigators are an adventure gaming staple, allowing the audience play detective, solve puzzles woven into the narrative, and uncover mysteries -- but the fact Fables even had a game, quite late into its run, still knocks me for six. More importantly, it gives me hope.
Sure, not all cult comics need a video game. Just because you could, it doesn't mean you should (ask Blue Estate and Watchmen). But there are certain titles that could easily make that successful transition with the right developer. Maybe even expose them to a new audience, which is sort of why comics go for such licensing in the first place. Anyway, without further ado, here are some comics I'd like to see get a virtual spin-off. You know, because that's what video game writers like to do when they've got a deadline to fulfil and their new workplace hampers that. Lists and shit, yeah?!

As rising energy costs consume an increasing amount of operating-budget dollars, most building owners have expanded their reasoning behind why energy management is important.
Not only is it one way to demonstrate environmental stewardship, it's also a strategy with very realizable effects on the bottom line. When budgets shrink and utility costs escalate, energy management is no longer important - it's critical.
Until zero-energy buildings become a widespread phenomenon, the quest to use less energy more wisely will continue to be a priority. If you're looking to benchmark your energy management, five by-the-book examples follow. These organizations demonstrate that it's not only about efficient equipment and operation - it's also about changing behavior.

The 24-year-old German shrugged off the changeable conditions which saw him complete the competition in a tailwind, clocking an aggregate of 245.2 points to beat Slovenia's Jurij Tepes (233) and Poland's Dawid Kubacki (229.4).
"My advantage is that I have a lot of strength. Of course it's better when you have headwind, but I can also jump well under tailwind. I don't really worry about the conditions." said Wank.
The German is the runaway series leader, but he will miss the next event as he keeps one eye on the main season.
"I will not compete in Almaty because I need a break," he said. "It would be nice to win the overall title in the GP, but the most important thing is to be in a good shape in winter."

Skip to comments.Mitt Romney's VC Firm to Buy Clear Channel (It's All about The Fairness Doctrine!)
Posted on 01/31/2008 5:04:51 AM PST by knarf
We are all about information.
What would it cost to buy the support of just about every nationally syndicated neocon talk show host in America? About $19.5 billion, which is what Mitt Romney's private equity firm, Bain Capital, and Thomas H. Lee Partners have agreed to pay in a leveraged buyout agreement with Clear Channel Communications, the largest radio station owner in the country. This is part of a negotiation that has been pending for over a year.
Clear Channel owns more than 1,100 full-power AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations, twelve radio channels on XM Satellite Radio, and more than 30 television stations in the United States. Premiere Radio Networks, which is the largest syndication company in the United States, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Clear Channel and is home to Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and many others. Sean Hannity recently signed a large multi-market contract with Clear Channel, as well.
From an anonymous email:
"I'll bet those hosts won't reveal that conflict of interest, but it's worth noting when you hear them begin hyping Romney, which has already begun. A lot of GOP supporters will support whomever they are told to support, so be prepared for a big push for Romney. On the bright side, Romney has more vulnerabilities than Rudy, based on his record. Look at this as the GOP establishment doing us a favor. Rich men can bankroll their own campaigns (a la John Kerry), but it takes a special breed to use investors' money to buy entire networks that can operate as passive wings of a presidential campaign."
It should be noted that Mitt Romney, while no longer the CEO, remains a silent partner of Bain Capital."
This got me to thinking about the last ten years of my life.
I got my first computer in 1998, and it was in that year I discovered talk radio and FreeRepublic.
Up until then, I was a classic sheeple ... wife, job, 4 or 5 kids (can't remember if one was out of the house at the time), and happy to be alive.
But in 1998, there was a lot of murmering about Bill Clinton, and though I did not consider myself political, I was intrigued with the thought that something un-American might be going on in the White House and politics in general.
Rush was talking sense and FreeRepublic offered me the opportunity to sit and stare at the printed word, mulling over the thought(s) transcribed, and reverberating in my head.
Which brings me to the here and now.
FreeRepublic and talk radion are both about diseminating information.
Someone has said "Knowledge is power" and Rush was the one I heard say, "Words mean something"
If the wrong person gets into the White House, I think we can be assured that a lot of the information we all get daily would cease.
Now, I am not necesarilly a Romnet fan ... but he is no more connected to Baine than Cheney is to Halliburton. But I think I would want someone that understands the business of talk radio making decisions, and vetoeing, than someone who has no problem with trampling on and eliminating 1st Ammendment rights.
I welcome serious commentary on what I've posted here.
After all ... that's what I frequent Freerepublic .... that, and the fact that Jim allows me into his living room to take part in the on-going discusion about our (once?) blessed land.
Make no mistake.
If Mrs. Impeached President is elected, she will enact the fairness doctrine and effectually kill talk radio, THE primary voice of conservatism.
Well thought out. You win the best vanity of the month.
Thanx, but the red print is from an e-mail ... it just sparked my thinking.
So will John McCain, if he is elected. In fact, the Fairness Doctrine is, if anything, more likely to be revived under McCain Administration because he has scores to settle with Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, et. al. Not only did the conservative talkers ruin the McCain-Kennedy amnesty plan, they are by and large coalescing around Romney as the last stand against the Arizona Senator. McCain will cloak it under the veneer of bipartisanship and sway a few RINOs to vote with the Democrats.
1 Do not spread false reports. Do not help a wicked man by being a malicious witness.
In business competition is good. Rush understands that about business. There is much more interest in the spending dollar when there is more choices. Also there are other reasons Rush is doing this but it is not what you just stated.
Rush will move to satellite transmission and solve the problem. You will still be able to pick him up over the internet .
I see it the other way around. If a Democrat wins, they will feel no need to hurry and enact the fairness doctrine. They will instead feel victorious that the little conservative talk radio hosts were unable to stop their win.
The bigger problem will be John McCain, he will be all for the fairness doctrine because he is a mean vindictive little man, and will take no critcism. He is the one that will fire the Dems up for the fairness doctrine just to show how bipartisan he is. *snicker*
This crap has been posted before. Clear Channlel turned turned down an offer from the same group in April that was for a few billion more dollars. Why would they take less now?
After this story was originally posted the site from which it was taken was no longer available on the net.This is a political hatchet job.
The fear(s) however are real.
I've heard Hannity talk about it, Savage is sueing CAIR, Imus was fired ... and I don't know whom else might be in the sights for anti-American freedom.
Hatchet job or not ... Is it not true that Romney is a 'business man' (and at least once affiliated with an organization that wanted Clear Channel), and would act in accordance to what I've read here in FreeRepublic innumerable times ... "If this was a business, he'd be fired ..." ... or ... "We have to balance our checkbooks, he should be held to the same ... " ... or ... "If I had done that, I'd be in jail now" ...
If McCain is elected, he will too, as retaliation against Rush, Ingraham, Malkin, Coulter, etc.
The x42 bwitch has already voiced it's disdain for the internet, and free speech internet in particular ... which is one of the main points in the Communist Manifesto ... Control the media.
I just don't want to take a chance on losing my ability to prove to my children (I'll probably be dead) how I came to the conclusions I've come to, and act/speak the way I do.
THEY are America now ... whether we believe that or not ... I recognize my own mortality, and the older I get ... the more the word 'posterity' becomes real and important.
Wickapaedia has been compromised ... The 'modern' dictionaries are crap, very few people actually READ a book ... the gummint skoolz teach everything BUT readin', writin' n' 'rithmetic.. (kids don't even know what arithmetic IS!).
If America is/was the great experiment .... consider in the same light talk radio and FreeRepublic.
It doesn't take much for me to see the connection that all things free (We, the people, etc.) are being attacked, with the intent to destroy.
Is Talk radio on the Romney hook/conflict of interest?
I don't pretend to know what IS the outcome of all this (gas prices/Bush ... whose fault is it?) ... but I think I'd rather have a President that understands business, when the Dhims are SURE to push for a resurfacing of The Fairness Doctrine. Especially if they lose the Presidency.
I'm SURE McCain (/Feingold) will sign it into perpetual law.
I've listened to Rush for years (at least 12).
I have never heard him take as big of 180 degree turn as he did the last couple of weeks. His mantra for 3 months was "I don't get involved in primaries", then something changed and he started discussing every minute. His show has become fractured lately and I have never heard him in so many uncomfortable moments on the air. Rush probably has enough money to buy most of clear channel outright, but something is up, 'cause the program isn't the same.
Quite true. It's sad and sickening.
So I am not familiar with what you say, but I'll take your word for it .... there's no doubt this is probably the most charged election I've ever experienced.
Romney was in charge of a very successful hedge fund that was partnered with another concern whick made a bid for Clear Channel. It's called business.
There was never any wrong doing associated with Romney fund.
I don't see talk radio as being for Romney. The only reason Rush went off on Huck, is because Hucks camp hit Rush first.
Poor judgement from the Huck camp.
However, none of these people tout Romney over anyone else.
1. Dem wins (Mrs. Impeached President).
2. More Dems in both houses.
3. Republicans completely cave and move to the left of center
4. Fairness Doctrine.
5. Socialized Medicine
6. Amnesty
7. Leftists judges.
8. Punitive taxation of business
9. Businesses leave in droves as they already have enough foreign operations in place to make the switch
10. Massive unemployment
11. Stocks plunge.
12. Dollar fails.
13. Massive military cuts
14. ChiComs make their move to dominate the Pacific
15. War
16. We lose
You need to think of Mrs. BJc as a Chavez, only without Chavez' smooth, tight skin. With her and a Dem congress and senate, she can push through the judges and amnesty. In 1980, Reagan did not have 20 million sudden Democrats to vote against him. A Hillary win backed by the Reps moving to the Left of center, guarantee Dems in power for at least one decade. The Leftists on the benches supporting such things as McCain-Feingold (and many more such pieces of legislation that guarantee those in power remain in power), we may very well see Dem control of this country until it is nearly completely Socialized.
If Hillary takes over, make no mistake, she will be a tyrant. And one thing tyrants never do is rest easily. She will kill talk radio. McCain will probably do the same because he is a Clinton shadow, as George Will said, not only in political tactic, but in ideology as well.
Well, I do agree that Hillary and McCain will do the same thing. But you see, we have no one left other than Huck who plays MCCains spoiler boy, or Mitt, who will never win anyway.
He's a Republican who won in (very) liberal Massachusetts.
He has executive experience both in the private sector and in government.
He oversaw and implemented a government-run healthcare system.
I'm no Romney fan (he's too liberal for my tastes, though I think he is more conservative than the others, except Thompson and Hunter), but I do think if it were him against Hussein or Mrs. Filegate, Romney would win.
Would it be a first (compared to first woman or first black)? It sure would, in one sense. He'd be the first non-Christian. At least, the last time I spoke with a Mormon, he denied that they were Christians though Jesus' teachings were a core part of their theology.
You know, I believe this religious battle has opened the door for McCain. I don't know how this party ever survived. My goodness, did Mormans vote for Christians or is that something Mormans are trying to force on the GOP voter just this year?
I really wonder.
I don't like any of these guys really. As far as I am concerned, none of them will do.

Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser are a frustratingly even-keeled team. Their disposition just minutes prior to losing their first match of the Olympics was not much different than their mannerisms minutes before capping a thrilling comeback win in the first round of elimination play.
So when the 6-foot-9 Dalhausser blocked 6-8 Fabio Magalhaes of Brazil for the third consecutive play to give his team an insurmountable 9-1 lead in the third set of the gold medal match on Friday, seeing the head-shaven American screaming and pumping his fist as the teams switched sides was a momentous occasion.
"You don't play many third sets for the Olympic gold medal," Dalhausser said. "If there was one time to get fired up, that was the time right there."
He and Rogers surely needed it. After pulling out a 23-21 win in game one with Fabio and Marcio Araujo before dropping the second set 21-17, the goal of their three-year partnership was riding on this last game. In 2006, after 11 years in professional beach volleyball, Rogers needed someone to help him get to the next level. He asked for Dalhausser's hand in partnership because Rogers believed he had the potential to become the best player in the world.
That vision came to fruition Friday, when Dalhausser was named the men's MVP of the Olympics. Of his nine blocks in the championship match, five came in the deciding third game, which the U.S. won 15-4.
"I just got in the zone," Dalhausser said. "You know, some athletes say you just get in a zone and you don't think. You just do it and you do all the right things. It's pretty amazing."
And with the gold medal, the United States becomes the first country in Olympic beach volleyball history to sweep gold at the same Games. Rogers and Dalhausser's title in their Olympic debut comes one day after Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh won an unprecedented second consecutive Olympic gold. Brazil still leads the all-time Olympic beach volleyball medal count (Brazil 9, U.S. 7), but the U.S. now owns five of the eight Olympic golds ever handed out.
May-Treanor and Walsh rolled over all competitors. For the second straight Olympics, they did not lose a single set. And in Beijing, they extended their all-time best winning streak to 108 matches. That they handled the media spotlight and pressure of trying to do what no team in history had ever done before is truly a remarkable feat.
But Rogers and Dalhausser's gold medal was a tougher one to obtain. Whereas the gap between May-Treanor and Walsh is almost as large as the country of China, the field on the men's side is much deeper. To wit: Your new Olympic champions lost their opening preliminary match to the No. 23-seeded Latvians, and were down 6-0 in the third set to the No. 20-seeded Swiss team before rallying to stay alive.
Could the men ever see a team as commanding as May-Treanor and Walsh?
"No, I don't think so," Dalhausser said. "On the men's international tour there's 32 good teams that are pretty awesome. Very rarely do you get an easy match. So it's pretty tough to dominate."
Rogers and Dalhausser are as close to May-Treanor/Walsh-like dominance as it gets. In July 2007, they became the first U.S. men's team to win a world title, and they've won four of the seven international tournaments they've played in 2008, earning medals in the other three. Should they stick around another four years -- Rogers is 34, Dalhausser 28 -- they could do what no other men's team has done: win back-to-back Olympic gold medals.
Though not common among men, their role models are their female compatriots, deservedly so.
"Kerri and Misty in general inspire us," Rogers said. "We've talked about it a lot and said, 'Hey, let's just try and do what Misty and Kerri do.' They're just so much better than everyone else. Everyone else is catching up a little bit, but when they turn it on, no one comes close to them. On the men's side, it's not that way. I recognize that we're not going to be 108-0; we're going to lose a few tournaments. ...So just to be within shouting distance of them, I look at that as, 'Wow, that's an accomplishment.' They push us."

Digital Diplomacy
Technology attracts the cool kids these days, and federal agencies like the Department of State might be onto something in hosting events like its most recent Tech@State event, which kicked off Nov. 30 at George Washington University.
"There aren't many places where you get this kind of diverse collection of experts," said Carole Robertson-Fenn, chair of i-Ed Inc.
Robertson-Fenn got wind of Tech@State online, and with a background in education, she attended day one of the two-day Tech@State event at George Washington University in hopes of hearing innovative ways to incorporate social media in K-12 classrooms.
She was in luck, with panelists and audience members that included tech entrepreneurs, federal employees and contractors -- not to mention non-profit sector election experts, policy gurus and self-proclaimed tech-nerds.
"(Technology) is hot right now," Robertson-Fenn said. "It's everywhere."
It is, yet engaging the tech community is not always a top priority for federal agencies. Tech@State, along with similar efforts at NASA, the Veterans Affairs Department and elsewhere, is an attempt to change that.
Richard Boly, director of the State Department's Office of eDiplomacy, said the department's eDiplomacy efforts began ten years ago under former Secretary of State Colin Powell, with a shift toward shared information over shared data.
Those efforts have continued with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton's 21st Century Statecraft Initiative, and Tech@State is now one of the department's signature efforts for embracing the digital age.
The department has hosted a handful of them over the past three years on a variety of different topics - data visualization, mobile money, civil society 2.0 and data visualization, among others. (The topic this time was election technology, with experts speaking on everything from online voting to data-mining.) Each of the free-to-attend events has been a hit among audience members, Boly said.
"The feedback has been great," Boly said. "It's a cheap investment for us to make for a high-index return."
In some ways, the Tech@State atmosphere is similar to what one might find at a Hackathon, with open data and information taking prominence. But, Boly said, "We're all co-equals here," noting that tech-gurus tend to receive the lion's share of the attention at Hackathon events.
One needed to go no farther than social media outlets -- another area where State has made a conscious effort to improve its visibility in recent years -- to witness the response to the outreach efforts.
The tweets rolled in every few seconds -- accompanied by the hash-tag #TechAtState or directed @techAtState - with hundreds of Twitter users promoting Tech@State or reacting to the two-day event's collection of intelligent technology, election and policy panel discussions.
"The panels at TechAtState always seem to bring together the best and brightest. I only wish they happened more often," tweeted communications consultant Gregg Rapaport.
Others re-tweeted an audience member's description of the panelists who discussed digital strategies for presidential elections, calling them a "political tech-nerd dream team."
"I didn't even know the State Department did this," said tech entrepreneur Ram Singh, CEO of 10io. "I've enjoyed it so far."

It is unfortunate, but our ignorant electorate votes on representatives the way they vote for their favorite American Idol candidate. How he looks, how he dresses, how he talks, but nothing on the issues.<quoted text>What does being gay have to bleeping to do with anything? Predudiced voters is why we have a lying incompetent president today. Cleanse your emotions & use logic for life's decisions.
Our elections have become a popularity contest instead of people putting our nations best interest for everybody. Kasich is doing a bank-up job, but he isn't gay, he isn't a Democrat, he is disliked by union people. So vote him out no matter how much he's done for our state. Put in a loser gay Democrat and let him run the state back down. That will make the ignorant electorate happy.

'Auto Inspection Services' is the process through which mainly used cars, when re-sold, are verified from everything that is possible to check and report oil pressure at startup and on the road, on cars fitted with an oil pressure gauge. In Cooperstown, during auto inspection, there can be check for 'blow-by' and cross contamination of fluids by removing the oil filler cap, radiator cap and dipstick. If there are internal issues with the engine they will likely be evident here if not on the test-drive in Cooperstown.
Also in Cooperstownauto inspection services include the condition of body and paint, dents, scratches, tires and wheels, glass, interior, missing parts, oil leaks, electrical items, and drive train performance. When possible, the vehicle may be test-driven to verify transmission and engine operation. The inspector will look over the interior and exterior of the vehicle for any obvious damage.

IndieBox: for Gamers Who Miss Boxes!
There are lots of cool ideas on the Internet that never really make it out of the "startup" phase. IndieBox has been around only for a few months, but I really, really hope it catches on.
Here's the idea:
Every month, you get a Linux/Mac/Windows-compatible Indie game in the mail.
The games come on a really cool USB drive shaped like a credit card covered in awesome game art. It's like a modern-day Nintendo cartridge.
Inside the game box (which is also covered in game art), you'll find posters, keychains, cardboard cutouts, CDs of game music or anything else the folks at IndieBox can scrape together to make the monthly game awesome and nostalgic.
Most months you'll also get a Steam code, because although old-school boxed games are awesome, Steam still is really convenient.
Photo courtesy of http://www.theindiebox.com.
As someone who belongs to a "coffee of the month" club, I can assure you that getting a fresh new thing every month in the mail is fun and exciting. When that new thing is a nostalgic trip to my youth, plus a really fun cross-platform game? For me, it's worth the $16.99 a month. If you miss the days of buying games in a box from the department store, you'll love the IndieBox experience. Check it out at http://www.theindiebox.com.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide
