DHHR: 'An unfolding train wreck'
April 29, 2013
One of the newspaper headlines about the most recent study of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources described the problems of this vital state agency as "an unfolding train wreck....
DHHR " an unfolding train wreck"
Why is the DHHR paying for funernals, haven't we taken care of these people while they where alive and able to work and refused to, and then we have to pay for their funeral's ?
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"Unfortunately, lawmakers at the recently completed legislative session failed to enact a proposal from the audit that Gov. Tomblin recommended which would have reduced Medicaid spending on trips to the doctor. But a bill to nearly double the salary of the next Secretary of DHHR from $95,000 a year to $175,000 - which is more than the governor receives - did pass."

"Meanwhile, last week's unanimous ruling by a three-judge federal appeals court panel that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency can reject a permit for the largest mountaintop removal coal mine in this state's history is the latest development in the ongoing efforts by Arch Coal, Inc., to open one of the largest such mines in West Virginia history."
Great decision!!

"And, as you might expect, Jason Bostic, a vice president of the West Virginia Coal Association, was also appalled by the decision. He told a reporter for the Charleston Gazette that he "can't imagine Congress intended things to work this way."

I agree that it is a wreck. The citizens that actually work pay for the entire state of slackers. Spend anytime with someone on assistance in WV and you will learn how they work the system and how they network this information to everyone they know. It is encouraged to stay at home and not work in WV. Why work when you can get a free cell phone, health insurance, rent checks, food stamps, car repairs, gas money, and I could go on. I hear this, "I can only "work" 10 hours this week because if I work more than I will lose my free this and that." Wake up WV!! When will these people be made to work and be kicked off the system? I am embarrassed to live here! It is a political nightmare! And I am not saying everyone on assistance abuses it, but I would say 95% do...sad just sad.

Major: "Leave the Free Market alone".
In health care, when you do that, kids die, adults remain addicted and prey upon others, disease spreads, and crazy people roam the streets.
The primary "market" solution to these problems is to EDUCATE people enough to let them get good jobs and earn enough money to feel reasonably satisfied and afford health care for their families. Without a highly functional educational system this state is bound to remain "Buckwild", and visitors will remain on the constant alert for banjo music.
It does sound like DHHR is very dysfunctional and someone needs to clean house. But trashing the agency and somehow depending on "market forces" to keep people alive or healthy is just stupid.

Why does this article surprise anyone, we get what we vote for. Come to Charles Town to understand the left wingers like the newest no growther that is running in and has only lived in Charles Town a few months, Jonathan Wertman. He is challenging a long time resident that has been wonderful for our community and is conservative. The liberal Wertman says he has a new voice and vision, but no specifics. He is unprofessional and chides Don Clendening based on his age, military service, has called him a liar without regard to the facts. Thats how liberals do it. You decide, look at Clendenings site ****clendeningforcitycouncil**** and tell us why we should vote for Wertman, a socialist who has done nothing for us, but wants to build bike paths in this terrible economy. Wertman is on FACEBOOK, that he changes daily depending on how the wind blows.

This is news? Dhhr is not an unfolding train wreck. It's an already crashed and burned with dead people everywhere train wreck. Dhhr helps a lot of folks that don't deserve it and let others that could use a hand rot. Close this sham money wasting corrupt organization.

JT Paintball offers replacement dual-paned thermal (non-fog) lenses for all paintball masks that accept Spectra-style lenses. Examples include JT Spectra Proflex, JT Spectra Flex-7 and Flex-8.
Paintball is a tough sport, so be sure to replace your lens at least every year, if not more often. Replace your paintball lens immediately if shot directly from a distance of less than 10 feet.
If you'd like a different tint or hue for a variety of light conditions, view Hustle Paintball's wide selection of lenses. Remember, yellow is for low-light situations, such as forest paintball, clear is general use, and smoke or mirror is for bright conditions only, such as daylight tournament paintball.
Please wait, your items are being added to the cart...

quote: Wrong, drives are rated in MB/s. your standard notebook drive is closer to 75MB/s or 600 mbps.
quote: Just to prove my point.Notice. its 145MB/s for sequential performance. not 145mbps. Thats 1160 mbps. why did you guys think HDD speads were measured in bits??
quote: I'm saying that the storage isn't the bottle neck. How is that not obvious? I'm also saying that your argument of 200mbps is invalid, because 200mbps is 25MB/s. Almost any harddrive can hit that in a sequential write. This has NOTHING to do with synthetic and everything to do with whether its a random write or not. Downloads are sequential mostly.
quote: Synthetic benchmarks have NOTHING to do with it. Notebook harddrives can easily hit 40-60, even the slow ones. So that's 320-480. A decent notebook drive could go well beyond that.

A simple birthday gift from a husband to his wife has blossomed into the store we know today as Rock Run Bulk Foods.
Rock Run is celebrating its 20th anniversary at the corner of US 224 and SR 18, but owner Barb Vogel said the store actually will be 30 years old next year. The Vogels invite customers to take part in an open house 5:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday with a buffet, food samples and other customer appreciation items.
"For our family, it certainly seems like a marker in time," Vogel said. "It took some dedication and hard work to get here.
"And we, in turn, want to thank the customer base that we've had for those 20 years because, without our customers, we wouldn't have reached this milestone."
"Next year will mark 30 years in business," she said. "There will be another party next year, being the party animal that I am."
The business started in 1984, Vogel said, when her husband, the late Dean Vogel Sr., gave her cake-decorating lessons for her birthday.
"He had lost his job with the state of Ohio," she said. "It was similar economic times as now. It was a struggle."
After she took her class, a neighbor asked her to make a cake for a graduation party.
"From that cake, other orders started to generate from family and friends," she said. "In order to do the cakes I started buying in bulk."
It wasn't long before neighbors started asking if she had a few extra pounds of butter or sugar.
"And, of course I did," she said.
One day, Dean Sr. suggested they start selling bulk foods from their home.
"Of course my comment was, 'Are you serious?'" she said. "From there I spent about six weeks doing research."
The Vogels set up a 10x14 room in their home as their first store, and the store remained there from 1984 to 1993.
"The first order was for sugar, flour, brown sugar and powdered sugar," she said. "I remember that."
A timeline display at the open house is to show pictures of the first store.
"From there, we built on it," she said. "As we would continue to order, I would add things to the inventory."
In 1993, the Vogels decided it was time to move out of the house, and opened a store in part of the area where it is still located.
"Within two years we were climbing the walls there," she said. "We moved to another part of the building. The long and the short of it is we knocked the wall out and took over the entire location of what we now know as Rock Run Bulk Foods."
Today, the store provides a variety of services. Vogel still decorates cakes and the store still sells bulk foods as well as Amish meats and cheeses. But family members have added other items. Her daughter added homemade candies, and the family provides catering services, party trays, gift boxes, balloons and rentals of wedding dcor, tables, chairs, daquiri and pop machines and other food equipment.
Store personnel provide personal consultations also.
"Maybe someone's planning a graduation party or a wedding," she said. "We want to give them the help that they need. How much of what do we need?
"We're happy to do that and we welcome the opportunity," she said.
"What started as a wonderful birthday present from my husband has turned into a beautiful family business," Vogel said. "Everyone has contributed something to make the business grow into what it is today.
"It goes right back to the base of our customers and we have to thank them for us being here."
Vogel plans to let the customers determine future plans as well.
"We will certainly continue doing what we have been doing," she said. "To give the customers the best service and quality and affordable prices."
Recently, customers have requested more gluten-free foods and diabetic-friendly foods, so the Vogel family has added those items.
A ribbon cutting is planned for 6 p.m. during the open house and the store is to be offering discounts, specials and door prizes continuing through the rest of the week.
Store hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday.

GEN's editorial staff interviews life science academic and biotech industry leaders on important research, technology, and trends. These podcasts will keep you informed with all the important details you need.
The Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues last month released a report on the emerging field of synthetic biology. The commission issued 18 recommendations including a call for coordinated federal oversight of scientists working in both large institutions and smaller settings. However, it also stated that no new regulations were needed.
The panel, comprising 13 scientists, ethicists, and public policy experts, said that the very newness of the science, which involves the design and construction of laboratory-made biological parts, gives regulators, ethicists, and others time to identify any problems early on and craft solutions that can harness the technology for the public good. The commission concluded that while the technical challenges of synthetic biology remain daunting, the field is likely to become more decentralized as the relevant tools become increasingly available and affordable—a change that may pose novel challenges with regard to oversight.
During this week's podcast Dr. Drew Endy, one of the leading researchers exploring the world of synthetic biology, offers his point of view on the commission's report. He explores some of the major recommendations put forth by the panel and gives us his thoughts on so called "do it yourselfers" and others performing synthetic biology research outside of the standard university setting. Dr. Endy also discusses what he sees as the major impact of the commission's report on the synthetic biology community.
Drew Endy is an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford University. He earned a BS and MS in civil and environmental engineering, respectively, from Lehigh University and a Ph.D. in biochemical engineering from Dartmouth College.
Dr. Endy joined the Stanford faculty in late 2008, having previously studied with and served on the biological engineering faculty at MIT. At Stanford he led the development of BIOE44, a new sophomore laboratory course in synthetic biology, and also BIOE244, a new upper level course on advanced genetic engineering. He also serves on the Building 4 Faculty Planning Committee and recently joined the Bioengineering Undergraduate Curriculum Committee.
Dr. Endy is also the founding director of the public benefit BIOFAB facility in Emeryville, CA, which is developing "expression operating systems" enabling organismal engineering at the genome scale. He is the founding president of the public benefit BioBricks Foundation, which develops and supports legal frameworks and open technical standards that enable genetic engineering. Furthermore, Dr. Endy is a member of the Committee on Science, Technology, and Law at the U.S. National Academies and recently gave testimony and provided opening remarks regarding synthetic biology before the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the President's Commission on Bioethics, respectively.

NEW CUMBERLAND-In an age of standardized tests and increasingly high expectations for students, schools are doing more to make learning and preparing for those tests fun.
On Monday, hundreds of Hancock County parents gathered at the John D. Rockefeller IV Career Center to celebrate the academic achievement of students who did well in the Acuity Bowl, a competition held four times a year to help students prepare for the WESTEST. The latest version of the standardized test, WESTEST 2, measures the academic progress of students from third grade to 11th grade.
Acuity Bowl winners-86 in all-received certificates and congratulations from school board President Jerry Durante and Superintendent Suzan Smith during Monday's board meeting (see sidebar).
"This is a wonderful evening for us. We are very proud of our students," Smith said. "We have a group of extremely intelligent young people with us."
Winning students in the third and fourth grades were from Hancock County's five elementary schools: Allison, New Manchester, Broadview, Liberty and Weirton Heights. Winning students in grades 5 through 8 were from Oak Glen and Weir Middle schools.
Hancock County Schools held its first Acuity Bowl in April as a way to motivate students to do well on the WESTEST. The quiz bowl covers the subjects of reading/language and math. In the spring, all West Virginia students take WESTEST exams on reading/language arts, math, writing, science and social studies.
Another competition, known as the Knowledge Master Open, also recently tested Hancock County students' academic abilities. Students from Oak Glen Middle School and Weir Middle School competed on Dec. 5 against students from across the United States and in several other countries.
The Weir Middle School team, comprising students from the middle school and St. Joseph the Worker School, placed first in West Virginia and 50th overall by scoring 1,461 out of 2,000 possible points. The Oak Glen Middle School team placed fourth in the state and 397th overall by scoring 1,009 points. A total of 508 middle schools competed.
Academic coach Melanie Donofe, gifted education teacher, said she was proud to see both teams do so well in the fall competition.
"I watched some excellent scholars," Donofe said. "The competition moves very quickly. These students read and answered questions in as little as two to seven seconds."
Students participate in the Knowledge Master Open on their classroom computers, allowing them to compete in a large academic event without the expense of traveling to a central site, Donofe said.
Students answer 200 questions from a variety of subjects-current events, law, psychology, math, science, social studies, literature-and are scored based on the accuracy and speed of their answers. Results are tabulated into overall, state and enrollment-size rankings by Academic Hallmarks, a Colorado software publisher.
"Questions can be extremely difficult," Donofe said. "The scores show that both teams have some very remarkable students and they are learning at a very high level. It is a credit to their classroom teachers that they are applying what is learned in the classroom to random questions in a competition like this."
Another Knowledge Master Open competition will be held in the spring.

Kovalchuk's deal paid him until he was 44 I believe with the last 7 years being at 1 million dollars a season.
The NHL didn't believe he had any intention of playing those years out, and ruled they were added just to artificially lower his cap hit.
So again what's the real difference? How much is Weber being paid in the last few years?

GenomeSpace provides access to a diverse range of bioinformatics tools, and bridges the gaps between the tools, making it easy to leverage the available analyses and visualizations in each of them. The tools retain their native look and feel, with GenomeSpace providing frictionless conduits between them through a lightweight interoperability layer. GenomeSpace does not perform any analyses itself; these are done within the member tools wherever they live – desktop, Web service, cloud, in-house server, etc. Rather, GenomeSpace provides tool selection and launch capabilities, and acts as a data highway automatically reformatting data as required when results move from the output of one tool to input for the next.
Inchworm assembles the RNA-Seq data into the unique sequences of transcripts, often generating full-length transcripts for a dominant isoform, but then reports just the unique portions of alternatively spliced transcripts.
Scripture is a method for transcriptome reconstruction that relies solely on RNA-Seq reads and an assembled genome to build a transcriptome ab initio.
Trinity, developed at the Broad Institute, represents a novel method for the efficient and robust de novo reconstruction of transcriptomes from RNA-Seq data. Trinity combines three independent software modules: Inchworm, Chrysalis, and Butterfly, applied sequentially to process large volumes of RNA-Seq reads. Trinity partitions the sequence data into many individual de Bruijn graphs, each representing the transcriptional complexity at at a given gene or locus, and then processes each graph independently to extract full-length splicing isoforms and to tease apart transcripts derived from paralogous genes.

Even large arbor fly reels have trouble keeping up with hard-charging species like Tuna, Tarpon and Bonefish. After a deep dive or a long run, they'll turn and come racing back towards you. Suddenly, you can't take up line fast enough; you can't stay tight to the fish. And when the tension goes, so goes your chance of landing that trophy.
That's why Tibor is pleased to offer another simple, yet ingenious innovation to help fisherman catch more fish – the Tibor SpeedHandle Spool. Available as an option on Tibor and Tibor Signature Series reels and spools. The SpeedHandle Spool increases the speed of your retrieve up to one-third, so you're less likely to have the hook drop out of the fish's mouth or encounter the problems inherent in a slack line.
Land more of the fish you hook with the Tibor SpeedHandle Spool – another innovation on the fly from Tibor Reel Corporation.
Use the standard handle for power, long runs or deep dives; switch to the SpeedHandle when fish turn and charge. The Tibor SpeedHandle Spool:
- Retrieves line up to one-third faster.
- Adds no weight to your reel.
- Features a simple, foolproof design with a limited lifetime warranty.
- Available as an option on new Tibor and Tibor Signature Series reels and spools.

I have a question for you if you have the time...I was about to bid on a Kozy Carrier on Ebay when the lady selling it was kind enough to suggest I look for a more padded carrier for Julia (37 pounds). I really like the idea of that style of Mei Tai but want to make sure I'm getting the best carrier for us. My goal is to be able to Cross Country ski here on our trails with her on my back.
Thanks in advance!
I love it!! Of course, I'm biased :)ReplyDelete

Ballas, 26 – who after his dismissal told reporters backstage that he was "dead serious" about dressing up as an animal pair – doesn't regret Palin's decision to play it safe, but he also points out that taking a risk with what to wear could have possibly prolonged their time in the competition.
"Hey, you can guide a horse to water, but you can't make it drink," he says.
"At the end of the day, they have to be comfortable when they walk on stage. The problem is, though, with doing that, this is the all-star season, so we have a lot of champions and a lot of finalists, so all of these people are really open-minded."
Using contestant Gilles Marini's open-chested Aladdin ensemble as an example, Ballas goes on to say, "It's called stepping out of the box, you know what I mean? You've got to be more open-minded to that stuff, but at the same time, as a choreographer and coach, you have to be respectful of your partner's choices."
Although Ballas says elimination "just sucks," he feels accomplished this season.
"This is someone [who], compared to the others, has zero dance experience or performance experience," he says of Palin, 21. "So for someone like that who comes from a normal background from Alaska, I'm really proud of her."
Now that he's out of the running to win the coveted mirror-ball trophy, Ballas tells PEOPLE, "I'm going to be pulling for Shawn [Johnson] and Derek [Hough], and Sabrina [Bryan] and Louis [Van Amstel]."

The R&B superstar will be performing the National Anthem at the Jan. 21 ceremony, which will take place at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol, the Presidential Inaugural Committee tells PEOPLE. And she will be joined by an equally auspicious roster of singers: Kelly Clarkson will perform "My Country 'Tis of Thee" this year (that honor went to Aretha Franklin ... and her infamous hat in 2009), while James Taylor will sing "America the Beautiful."
In 2009, Beyoncé performed Etta James's classic, "At Last," while the President and Michelle Obama took their first dance during the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball.
Other inaugural ceremony participants include civil rights activist and journalist Myrlie Evers-Williams, who will give the invocation. Reverend Louie Giglio will deliver the benediction.
According to the Presidential Inaugural Committee, more information about ceremonial participants will be released in the coming days. Could Aretha be back for her encore?

Elkins Mayor Duke Talbott will face two challengers in the 2013 municipal election. Councilmen Mark Scott and Van Broughton will both run against Talbott.
"There are a lot of projects under way," Talbott said. "I would like to see them continued and complete. We have a wonderful group of people in city hall and we work well together and build consensus. I look forward to continuing that."
Scott, who currently represents 3rd Ward on council, and Broughton, who currently represents 2nd Ward, have both filed to run for mayor. Both of their council seat terms are up in 2015.
"I think we need to have a little more common sense in government," Scott said. "We need to be very careful about how we use our taxpayer's money."
Broughton has served on council for numerous terms in two different wards. He said he hopes to bring that experience to the mayor's office.
"Being a city councilman, I have served under four different mayors," Broughton said.
"I want to take the experience I have learned from each of them and apply it to being mayor and taking the city to the next level."
The filing period for the March 5 election will end today at midnight. Along with the mayoral race, residents will be able to vote for at least one council person in each ward, except 5th Ward, where two seats are available.
The only contested council race is in 4th Ward. Incumbent Councilwoman Nanci Bross-Fregonara originally said she was not going to seek re-election, but changed her mind. Fregonara will be challenged by resident Hollis Vance.
"There are a couple projects still to work on," Fregonara said. "We are in the middle of these projects and a lot of people encouraged me to run again. The council we have right now is a good council. It is a great group that is very progressive and compromising."
Vance hopes to bring his experience from being a local businessman to council chambers.
"I just think my experience and the fact I've been a businessman makes me a good choice," he said. "I can use the skills I acquired over the year to help the residents of Elkins."
For the first time in eight years, 2nd Ward will see a new council representative. Incumbent Tom Hensil will not seek re-election.
"I felt it was in the best interest of the city and myself (to not run)," Hensil said. "I do not have the time or the energy to do it anymore."
Hensil has served on council for two terms, a total of eight years.
"I will be 76 in January," he said. "When you get to that age, you run out of energy. Any assistance I can give council, I will be glad to do it."
Resident Mitch Marstiller has filed to represent 2nd Ward.
"I like being involved in the community," he said. "I feel I can make a positive difference in the city."
Incumbent Councilman Charles Kinnison, 1st Ward, has filed to retain his seat. No challengers have filed to run against him. Kinnison was appointed to council in November 2011 to replace former Councilman Rob Beckwith, who resigned his seat.
Incumbent council members Carman Metheny, 3rd Ward, Jim Bibey, 5th Ward, and Joe Sabatino, 5th Ward, have all filed to retain their seats.
Two seats are available in 5th Ward because Sabatino was appointed to the seat after former Councilman Danny Satterfield resigned. Sabatino has filed to fill the unexpired term that would have been up for election in 2015. Bibey will be running for a full four-year term.

Fisher-Price toys, from online games to the famous Little People (not to mention classics like Power Wheels, View-Master, Rescue Heroes, the Chatter Telephone, and the Rock-a-Stack) can do a lot to boost your tot's IQ, as well as make playtime fun for the whole family. The company was founded in 1930 by Herman Fisher, Irving Price, Price's illustrator-artist wife Margaret Evans Price, and Helen Schelle. You may think that the precipice of the Great Depression was not the best time to turn toymaker, but you would be wrong: Fisher-Price's toys were bursting with such whimsy and magic that they were instant hits. Today, Fisher-Price is still headquartered in its original home in East Aurora, New York, where their often-emulated "Play Lab" is based – it was the first child research center of its kind in the toy industry, allowing researchers and toy designers to observe the way children play and how play benefits their development. Fisher Price is now owned by Mattel, and continues to make baby and preschool toys that stand the test of time – as well as participate in today's pop culture: other brands marketed under the Fisher-Price name include Disney, Sesame Street, Barney, Dora the Explorer, See 'n Say and Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - After much consideration and discussion between Truckee Downtown Merchants Association, the schools, Rotary and town of Truckee, the Bud Fish tree lighting ceremony and children's tree decorating will be postponed until Friday, Dec. 7 due to the weather forecast. It was decided the event would not be safe with students decorating unsecured trees in high winds and heavy rain. Not to mention, it will be just plain miserable. The organizations will have the same event, Friday, Dec. 7, so save the date.
However, the "Cocktail Bingo" event will still be held Nov. 30 at the downtown Community Arts Center including a raffle and silent auction. All of the proceeds from the event will go toward the town's holiday lighting costs.
Throughout the month of December, downtown merchants will host holiday events every Friday evening. Guests are invited to peruse the downtown shops from 5-8 p.m. on Dec. 7 for family night, Dec. 14 for girls' night out, and Dec. 21 for couples shopping. Visit www.HistoricTruckee.com.

My second Rover, that says it all.
by Shawn from Oshkosh, WI | July 21, 2012
Like the title states this is my second Rover. My first was a "99 HSE. I love these things. Very nice ride, good performance, classic style, and comfortable. The only down side is the fuel economy. However knowing I can go anywhere anytime, I'll deal with it. My family drove one of these years ago when we lived in central Africa so you know durability is well built in. My only real complaint is the mechanics of the car. My first Rover suffered engine failure when the aluminum block, steel sleeved design failed and the engine drew in all the coolant into the combustion chamber. $7500 to fix meant I had to sell it for parts. Not it's first or only coolant issue. The headliner sags, in my '02 as well. Lastly parts are expensive. Rediculously expensive! Most extended warranty programs wont cover any Land Rover product, and since Ford and then Jaguar have owned Rover they've only gotten worse. This sadly will be my last Rover product even though I love it. Despite all the bad, at least it not a Disco!

Rover all over
by Rover Nut from Chicago | February 1, 2012
I love the Rangie, hard to believe that a few years ago these were 65k and now they can be had for 6k. Yes they will need maintenance, but do that and you 'll be able to go anywhere you want in comfort and with no worries about any weather related issues. Just keep your eyes and ears open to changes in the vehicle and you'll do fine.

Best bang for the buck bought used, if left stock.
by Valhakar from Phoenix, AZ | April 15, 2011
I was looking for a vehicle that can do it all well. Civil manners for road trips. Decent towing for track days or a camper. High clearance for camping. Low seating for children and older folks. This is possible due to the electronic air suspension that automatically lowers the car for highway speeds and raises it if you get high-sided off road. Manual lowering for loading and unloading is simply a push of a button. KEEP the air suspension. Off-road - Taken the family all over the Arizona high desert in it. Easily takes on class 3 trails stock with little drama. Only invested in differential guards/tires. Towing - It will tow my trailered Subaru over the mountains to the track with no issues. The standard 2 inch tow hitch and factory trailer lighting work perfectly. Aging in-laws- With a push of a button I can lower the car to minivan levels to allow the older folks to get in comfortably. Dogs - the leather is supple but tough. 2 large labs sit in the back seat often and the leather shows no scratching. Same for the plastic and the wood trim. Wife - Heated seats. Nice stereo. Lots of elbow room. High seating position. Room for all the animals camping. Me - Acceptable cornering, its not a sports car but it will settle into a corner well. No brake fade. Acceptable highway acceleration (using my race GPS tracking unit, I get 0-60 in 8.32). Acceptable maintenance cycle. Cost. 2001 and 2002 only released the HSE 4.6L V-8, meaning you got a top of the line Range Rover. As of 2010 you can get a 2002 with 70K miles for 9-14K depending on the maintenance level. I bought mine on the lower middle range of that and had to put about $400 into it for mechanical fixes. You spend a little more on maintenance but you literally get a car that can do it all.

Best SUV in ever Owned!!!!!
by SUV Enthusiast from West Virginia | December 18, 2009
I have had over 5 different SUV's I have had Jeep Limited, GMC Envoy, Ford Exploder, and Chevy Tahoe, but they don't compare to the luxury of a Range Rover. However, I have always taken my SUV's off road, that where the Range Rover stand out a King of SUV. Now, I know why they are uses in the Jungle and the desert, they are just the ulimate in off road reliablity and comfort. Like my friend who turn me on to the Range Rover if they wasn't reliable you wouldn't see them all over 3rd World countries. I'm glad I brought the Rover over some falk SUV.

Very Lux!
by RoverOver from Atlanta | June 17, 2007
I am very glad I bought a Range Rover and glad to have bought one when they were not just overpriced Fords. The 2002 Range Rover is just classy and beautiful. The ultimate ride and pure luxury are not to mislead you, these things can flat out run in snow and off road. They are not legendary for nothing!

Thousands of area youngsters will hit the streets throughout the coming week dressed as ghouls, goblins and a host of other frightening and fanciful figures.
It's that time of year again, the right of passage that spurs fond memories for many - trick or treating.
This year, though, will be somewhat special as Halloween traditions and celebrations were buried - in snow - a year ago by Superstorm Sandy and its aftermath.
The frights begin tonight, as businesses in downtown Elkins - including The Inter-Mountain - participate in the candy-giving tradition. Costumed children will descend upon downtown streets at 5 p.m. and have until 6 p.m. to gather as many goodies as possible.
It's refreshing to see the Elkins business community come together to celebrate in a time of so many economic challenges. More than a dozen merchants will take part in the event. Children also will be able to receive glow-in-the-dark trick-or-treat bags they can use during the city's spooky holiday outing slated from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday on Halloween.
As children scour area cities and towns for sweet treats, parents and children alike should be cautious.
A few precautions to keep in mind are:
- Make sure costumes are the proper length. It may seem like a good idea to go for that really scary look, but if the costume is too long or too big, it can cause a tripping hazard.
- Plan a route in advance. Stick to a known course to avoid getting lost and always travel in groups. It also isn't advised to go to unfamiliar neighborhoods or houses.
- Avoid going too realistic with props. These can be a real danger when running, although running should be avoided as well.
-Stay in well-lit areas. Also, use of reflective tape can prevent accidents with automobiles. It also is a good idea to carry a flashlight.
- Masks are another costume accessory that can complete that perfect look, but they also can obscure views when crossing streets and maneuvering up to someone's porch.
- This should go unsaid, but check your child's candy. It always is best to err on the side of caution, even if you receive candy from known households. Immediately throw away all candy that is not in wrappers, or if the wrappers appear to be tampered with.
If these guidelines are followed, a happy, healthy - and not so scary - Halloween will be had by all.

Call it travel ball for those who like to run.
Peak Performance Track Club, coached by former Berkeley track coach Twon Williams, recently competed in its first indoor track meet of the season in the North Carolina Runners Elite Holiday invitational in Winston-Salem, NC.
The traveling track team is comprised of nine area track athletes including Berkeley's Marissa Pinckney and Emanuel Collier. The team competed against more than 70 high school track athletes.
In addition to Pinckney and Collier, representing Peak Performance were Devon Duncanv (Ashley Ridge), Woodrow Jones (Ashley Ridge), Davon Anderson (Summerville), Shatasha Anderson (West Ashley), Shelia Austin (Ashley Ridge), Tiana NKanata (Ashley Ridge) and Sydnee Carroll (Ashley Ridge).
Williams said his team was optimistic going into its first indoor meet of the season.
"As always we go into our first competition of the season with an open mind, not really knowing what to expect," he said. "Because we don't compete in indoor track and field on the high school level here in South Carolina we're forced to travel outside the state for competition."
Pinckney and Collier had the team's best showing with Pinckney placing ninth in the 300-meter dash with a time of 42:25, and Collier finishing 11th out of 63 runners in the 500-meter dash with a time of 1:10.65
"Our kids went to the meet and did a great job in handling the new experience," Williams said. "Considering it was our first meet it's validation that everything we have been doing in practice since October has been working."
Even though the team lacked any individual winners in their first meet of the season, Williams said it did turn in "some solid early season performances."
"The entire purpose for competing in the meet was to see where my athletes are at this point and this meet allowed me to do so," he said. "I got to see where we are physically and mentally."
The girls 4 x 400 relay team of Pinckney, NKanata, Austin and Caroll notched a third place finish with a time of 4:22.
"Marissa and Tiana both split 1:03 on the first and second legs of the relay which gave us a 70-meter or so lead in our heat," Williams said. "Shelia split a 1:07 on the third leg and did a great job of holding on to the lead that the first to girls set up for her. Considering Shelia's personal record in the 400 before this meet was a 1:14, I couldn't be happier for her. And Sydnee anchored with a 1:09.
"We were all alone for the last two legs and I sure had we had someone closer to us we could have run a sub 4:10."
With the outdoor high school track season beginning in March, Williams hopes the winter indoor season gives his runners a leg up on the competition. Also, according to the Peak Performance coach, the indoor environment can be a tough nut to crack.
"In all the events we competed in this weekend I believe we could have showed a better showing than we did, but at the end of the day I believe the new event distances played a major impact on how the kids ran each race," he said. "The 200-meter track (in comparison to the 400-meter outdoor track) really threw them for a loop. As a coach you can prepare them as much as you can but there is no substitute for actually running indoor track."
For Berkeley's Marissa Pinckney, the transition from outdoors meets to indoors was a change.
"The meets are intense and you have to be on top of everything you do," she said. "Competing indoors was a change for me and I wasn't sure how the competition was going to be but after the first meet I knew what to prepare myself for."
Peak Performance travels to Johnson City, TN this weekend.

When the USA Pro Cycling Challenge begins in downtown Durango on Monday, it will bring with it all the trappings of a major road cycling stage race: the world�s best riders from the world�s best teams, a million excited fans on the roads and dozens of goofy costumed characters gamely chasing after their favorite riders and a few seconds of television time.
It also will bring with it the tattered baggage of the sport in the 21st century: the specter of doping, the contentious legacy of Lance Armstrong and the high cost of presenting a 16-team sporting event that covers 683 miles at high altitudes over seven days.
Fortunately for this race, road cycling is riding high after a popular, if tepid, Tour de France and the global glow from the London Olympics and its huge crowds along historic routes.
The dramatic stage is set, and the Rockies� version of the field of dreams is open for business.
But will the spectators come?
Will the TV viewers gobble up the 30 hours of NBC Sports� coverage?
�There is nothing in the world quite like watching the pros descend down the backside of a mountain pass after blowing gaskets to reach the summit,� said Boulder cyclist Arthur Kaufman, who saw the race in person last year but will follow the race online while cycling in Tuscany this summer.
�Forget the pain of the ascent, the tortured lung-busting, the macho face-downs. Leaning into a curve on an eighth-of-an-inch-wide strip of rubber at high speed, letting fear dissolve like cotton candy in your mouth, yeah, that�s the good stuff. Who cares if it all happens in a flash?�
As the race matures and its history book grows thick with memorable heroics and scenes of shock and awe, fans will flock to those sites just as Tour de France fans salivate over the thought of a roadside view of the Alpe d�Huez climb or a seat in the Tribune on the Champs-�lys�es� for the final stage in Paris.
The beauty of the sport is that race organizers and TV producers cannot will a certain steep switchback or gnarly ascent into the canon of a race. They happen spontaneously, sometimes tragically.
The race also is attracting another species of cyclists: mountain bikers. Road cyclists and their mountain bike cousins overlap in many areas, and the high Rockies are a huge magnet.
�The pro cycling tour goes through some of the best mountain biking in the world: Durango, Crested Butte, Carbondale, Breckenridge, Aspen and Golden,� said Jenn Dice, governmental affairs director for the Boulder-based International Mountain Bike Association.
�If you surveyed spectators, I would bet a high percentage go on a mountain bike ride earlier in the day. They are also out watching the race; it might be the perfect Colorado vacation wrapped into one day. Durango is the epicenter of mountain biking, and legends such as Ned Overend and Travis Brown live there. National coverage will inspire a guy watching in Baltimore to buy tickets for his dream vacation to mountain-bike Colorado.�
There are other hazards, some of them man-made. Cycling alternates heroism with cynicism because of the curse of performance-enhancing drugs, or PEDs.
Frank Schleck, a member of the RadioShack-Nissan-Trek professional team that is scheduled to participate in the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, was bounced from the Tour de France after he tested positive for a banned diuretic that has been used to mask the presence of PEDs.
Despite the high-profile investigations into Lance Armstrong and many other riders over the years, Travis Tygart, the chief executive officer of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, said cycling is not alone in its problems with drugs.
�There is doping in nearly every sport,� Tygart said. �We�ve even seen it in 15-year-old in-line skaters. The threat is not calculated by sport: we categorize it as either high risk, medium risk and low risk.�
Cycling is high risk because the illicit rewards are immediate and quickly reflected in cardiovascular performance.
Tygart said the biggest problems are a result of conflicts of interest that arise from international sports governing bodies conducting anti-doping tests at their own events.
�You cannot both promote and police your sport,� he said. �There are unavoidable conflicts. The solution is to outsource their entire anti-doping programs to an independent entity.�
The UCI will be conducting the drug tests at this year�s race. The UCI has come under criticism from USADA and other anti-doping organizations in previous races, including the 2011 USA Pro Cycling Challenge for not testing for erythropoietin, or EPO, one of the most effective and often-used performance enhancing drugs. It also is one of the most expensive drugs to detect, costing more that $10,000 per race to test.
But the biggest elephant in the corner of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge is USADA�s active case against Armstrong, team director Johan Bruyneel, his coaches and several team doctors. Armstrong has fended off every previous attempt to prosecute him, but this time he may have to challenge the sworn testimony of several riders who were on his U.S. Postal Service and Discovery pro teams.
It has been reported that those riders were offered six-month suspensions from racing for their agreement to testify that they were part of a systematic doping plan directed by Armstrong and Bruyneel. Bruyneel voluntarily withdrew as general manager from his RadioShack-Nissan-Trek team at this year�s Tour de France after he was cited by the USADA.
Unlike previous years, Armstrong has not been able to find much vocal support for his innocence from other racers, perhaps because of the reports that his former teammates already have spoken against him.
That has longtime Armstrong friend, part-time Durangoan and 1988 Olympic track cycling racer Dave Lettieri steaming.
�This is silly,� Lettieri said. �Cycling is crazy not to support Lance. He has boosted cycling for the last 12 or 13 years. All of this stuff about nonanalytical positives. What about his hematocrit levels? You either take a test and pass it or you don�t. He passed them.�
Lettieri, who also served as Armstrong�s personal bike mechanic and is the first American to wrench for a Tour de France winner, insists the �true fan base is not eroding. It is the same as it was seven years ago. And whether you support him or not, you can�t ignore what he�s done with his LiveStrong Foundation over the years.
�And no matter how you feel about Lance, you have to admit that it was all so much fun to watch. The experience was incredible.�
As the �Summer of Cycling� continues after the London Olympics, the USA Pro Cycling Challenge is well-situated for filling the gap between the Tour de France and the final Grand Tour of the year, the Vuelta a Espa�a. That especially could be true in non-Olympic years.
The race has a long road to reach three-week status, but a two-week version would have plenty of peaks and high plains to traverse without getting boring, as was the case with the slow start of the 2012 Tour de France.
A good showing by fans on the road and viewers in their living rooms could evolve into must-see TV. With good production values and access, a crazy stage race in the mountains would make a heck of a reality series.

Darryl D. Jones Jr. was trying to steal marijuana from Stephen C. Sanders on Marigold Street on the night of Dec. 5, 2011.
Instead, Jones shot Sanders to death. Now Jones, 24, could get 25 years to life in prison after he was convicted Thursday of two counts of second-degree murder, first-degree attempted robbery and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Jones, of Hertel Avenue, is scheduled to be sentenced by State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia on March 26.
Prosecutors accused Jones of arranging to meet Sanders, 28, to buy marijuana from him.
"This defendant turned a marijuana deal into an attempted robbery and, ultimately, into a murder," homicide prosecutor Colleen Curtin Gable told jurors in her closing argument.
The key for the prosecution was the identification of Jones as the shooter. Two men who were in an Envoy sport utility vehicle during the fatal attack testified that Jones was the shooter.
Jones' defense lawyers said they plan an appeal. "Clearly, the jury gave credit to the eyewess testimony. We believe there were flaws," said defense lawyer Jeremy D. Schwartz, whith Dean E. Lilac Jr., represented Jones.
District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said prosecutors prevailed despite the lack of a confession, DNA evidence or surveillance video.
"Working with what they had, dedicated prosecutors from the Erie County District Attorney's Office were able to present a compelling case, prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and secure a conviction," Sedita said.
Jurors heard from John F. Daniels, 28, Sanders' cousin, who was with Sanders that night.
Daniels, a collections agency manager, testified that Sanders picked him up that night before the meeting.
At the meeting site, another SUV pulled up in front of Sanders' Envoy.
A middleman named "Kev" got out of Jones' vehicle and got in Sanders' vehicle. After a short time, he returned to Jones' SUV. Then the middleman returned to Sanders' vehicle and asked "for a sample."
Daniels said he warned his cousin to drive away if anybody else got out of the other SUV.
Daniels said Jones got out of his vehicle, walked toward the Envoy while holding a black Glock handgun and said, "You know what time it is."
Jones pointed the gun through rear driver-side door, Daniels said.
Daniels, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, said he grabbed the gun with one hand and struggled with Jones for it.
Jones was wearing black clothing, including a hoodie, but did not wear a mask, Daniels said. "I'll never forget his eyes, forever," Daniels told jurors.
Jones pulled away from Daniels with the gun, and Daniels said he yelled at Sanders to drive off. Sanders started to drive.
Daniels said he saw a flash of gunfire and heard Sanders saying "Oh, my God!" and then leaning toward the driver door.
The vehicle drove over a curb and hit a couple of cars and a pole, Daniels said.
Curtin Gable and Assistant District Attorney Sydney V. Probst prosecuted Jones for the second time after his first trial ended with a hung jury.

i7 2600k, i5 2500k & 2300 1155 Sandy Bridge Review
3D Mark
Published: 3rd January 2011 | Source: Intel | Price: £170 & £260 |
3D Mark Vantage
When we tested these chips on the ASUS Maximus IV Extreme, review should be live along with this one, we were amazed by the relatively poor performance of the board and chips in the 3D environment and postulated if it was symptomatic of the board itself. Considering how comparatively weak the 3D Mark Vantage results are even on this highly refined Intel board we're definitely getting a little concerned at the interaction of the various components. All the scores are consistently below those of the 45nm setups.
3D Mark 11
3D Mark 11 is a much more strenuous test of your system and yet despite using a much more theoretically modern system with an identical GPU the scores remain underneath our i7-870 and i7-950 systems. Although both the i5s could be argued as not having the hyper-threading necessary for big synthetic scores, the 5GHz i7-2600K has absolutely nothing holding it back from topping the charts by some margin.

Bulldozer is going to have to be really good for AMD to stay in the market.Quote
Great review btw, but any chance you can chuck in the charts of a i7 970 or 980x so we can see how they do against the king of the hill?Quote
Typo in 1st page? Should be i5?
Still reading the review .
Great review, do you think a Gigabyte would fair even better?
Glad I've been waiting for the i5-2500k . Although I'm getting very impatient now .Quote
mm lovely tech. replacing 1156 gives budget builders/core 2 users(the majority) a better opportunity. gauranteed this makes Intels market bigger/popular. is AMD gona sell CPU's now? maby 1 or 2 ?
Top review though as usual Quote
This means though that if Bulldozer is as good as claimed, it might have a fair chance against Sandy Bridge. I guess we'll have to wait and see.Quote
Just a layman's question. If turbo kicks and increases the core speed according to usage, does that mean the chip uses a lot less energy/power when it is idle?Quote
As a point of personal interest, and just to look up some comparisons on a gaming pov. The purely gaming pc I have based on 775, real decent quad, el crappo memory, 480 and a physx card and a mobo I need to swap out for a spare cos it's stopped liking overclocks (needs a new psu also, but that's besides the point). I quickly installed the benches in the video to see:
3D Vant: P21489, G:19238, P:33107
Heaven: 52.9 fps / Score 1333
Plays all the games on 1920x1200 without issues and massive quality settings, physx and so on.
Gaming wize, I still don't think there's a requirement to upgrade this generation. Of course, if you have to buy new, you have plenty of reasons. Luckily I have spares and sources.Quote
Great review Tom! Will aria be selling the 2500k as that is my first purchase of the new year !
of course they will I think the 2500K will be the most popular SB chip
EDIT: looks like its either changed or something, or maybe I was seeing thingsQuote
I think this is a mistake, in the technical specification page http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cpu_mainboard/i7_2600k_i5_2500k_2300_1155_sandy_bridge_review/1
EDIT: looks like its either changed or something, or maybe I was seeing things
My sig image keeps going .Quote
So overall I'm not that impressed yetQuote
Will people be able to trade in there i3's etc..will they heck.
Any ideas Tom?
Very exciting year for PC gamers Quote
I'm probably just being blind but when are these available to buy?
Not a clue about how much are going to be in stock though.
Anyone found some reviews on 1155 mobo's?
Only found two (MSI GD65 and Asus P8P67.)
Reviewers are probably working very hard on the reviews, I'm just very, very impatient on this one hahaQuote
I would be impressed if Sandy Bridge technology were put on 4-6 core current I5, I7, 1366 CPU's. Seems like all they did was update (correct short comings) the previous 1156 CPU / socket so they could say TADA...it's a new CPU, but I'm not an engineer.
It just leaves me scratching my headQuote
I'm probably just being blind but when are these available to buy?
Those prices have to drop. An i7-870 costs only €260, the i7-860 €230, and the i7-2600 replaces the i7-860/870 now doesn't it
i5-760 is €180, i5-2500k is €230? *sigh*Quote
Just a thought.
I'm interested in seeing Bulldozer.....Quote
TTL, I"d be interested to see if you could give a small idea over the time you use it, of any raise in your electric bill with that monster. hehe. Friend of mine has a 1000 Watt and I"ve heard its a socket hog from heck.
People forget that when they buy these overkill 1000w PSU's that they are actually going to end up paying higher leccy bills as a result. Well over £200 more a yearQuote
A psu will only draw the power it needs. because its 1000w doesnt mean it draws 1000w constant its capable of it ...
hell my dads 400w psu in his quad draws more power than my 700w in my c2d ...Quote

that being a x264 bench ?
if you compile x264 from git
a simple
make checkasm;./checkasm
checkasm –bench
would probably be a good start to 2011, you Probably want to disable SpeedStep though in the Bios to get consistent numbers OC.
if you get problems or want more help with making real life testing scripts etc then you can ask in http://doom10.org/index.php?topic=717.0 for instance or the IRC #x264 and #x264dev channel's where C/Assembly development happens (x86/64 and ARM etc) OCQuote
Finally going to be back with the Intel boys.Quote
Correct, but a 1000w is more efficient stressed than when only 100-300w is being used. A 650w, for example, is usually more efficient at those loads. Therefore a 1000w psu would indeed use more power, simply because it's less efficient at those loads.
Most systems actually use only 200-300w or so even under load. Therefore a 600w PSU is most efficient in most cases.
I purchased my 700W as it was only a few quid more and gives a little more overhead . Mine's 90+ pretty much down to 30% loading anyway, highest of all current PSUs .Quote
The Sandybridge releases have thrown a spanner in my plans to build a new PC .. my first.
I'm not a gamer ... I need a multi-monitor (4x23") workstation for financial trading ... so only 2D graphics.
I was planning on using an i7-950 ... should I now consider the i5 2500K instead?
Many thanks in advance.Quote
P.S. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html Accord to this website the 2600k for 330$ almost out preforms the i7 970. Is that website correct or did they ramp up the multiplier to get those results.Quote
If I'm misinformed or you can shed some light on all the overhype, I'd appreciate it.
EDIT...Just saw that the I5's don't have hyperthreading and the I7's do have it, but other problems still existQuote
Be aware that putting anything more than 1.4v through the chip will most likely kill it as the 32nm chips simply cannot handle that voltage and the IMC will fry. Numerous reports are beginning to surface of sandys dying because people are treating them like their 45nm counterparts. The new chips do look very nice though but sadly, as stated above, there is little point in switching (note I didn't say upgrading) from i7 to Sandybridge because clock for clock, the performance is still with bloomfield/gulftown. The fact that these can clock to 5ghz is great, however I dare say if you put silly amounts of voltage through most cpu's, they will clock well. How long they will last though is an entirely different question. Nobody knows for sure at present what voltage is deemed safe. Intel say 1.35, overclocking forums suggest 1.4v as an absolute max. I have just read about one of these cpu's dying with 1.4 so in reality, nobody can say for sure!
Also getting 5ghz from a cpu is great (congrats Tom). However, Asus claim (so I have read) that only 10% of the cpu's they have had reached this. 30-40% would do 4.5ghz with the remaining 50 being 4-4.5ghz. All this is presumebly with excessive voltage which as stated above, 32nm archs don't like at all and will die as a result. I dare say the chips you have tom are on their last legs already, maybe dead?
Sorry gents, but I aint getting all excited over a cpu that:
1. Is not as fast as 1366 i7.
2. Suceptable to failure with mild (0.2) voltage increases
3. No HT on the entry level models
Great for someone looking for a new build, upgrade from 1156 perhaps but a sidestep for 3 year old bloomfield. I really hope bulldozer offers more than this. Disappointing.Quote
Iirc the 2600 has HT.

that's the main reason Why im asking for this simple x264 C/assembly code test
make checkasm;./checkasm
checkasm –bench
its the only real life benchmark that will show You if things have changed, plus OC i cant seem to find any SB standard clocked and over clocked pastebin results to date to compare to older CPU's never mind setting a baseline for future products and that's a shame.Quote
i was confused as i read it, crysis was built for Intel Core 2 Duo. then i looked at wiki
It's refreshing to see that Intel are pricing their processors more sensibly...Bang for buck is of utmost importance to the average Joe, and they are finally seeing sense. Just hope that AMD's cat-out-of-the-bag that is Bulldozer is at least a close contender to this...Forcing both of them to price even more competitively! Mwuha.

What if we open sourced genetic engineering? | Opensource.com
What if we open sourced genetic engineering?
Open questions ask a question each week.
The topics vary from technology to art to the food on your table.
We ask a question. You leave a response. It's as simple as that.
Open Question #1: What would happen if we open sourced genetic engineering?
Michael Pollan talks about the relationship of open source food, intellectual property and genetic engineering. Monsanto controls the intellectual property of foods we depend on and do not allow scientists the freedom to study their genetically modified foods. Scientists are now shining a light on this, in hopes they can gather their own data since it is not made accessible by Monsanto.
Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ta39a5w08w
What do you think?
4 Comments
I don't know much about it, but I have to believe that we'll innovate faster, and figure out the best solutions if we did open source genetic engineering. Some things shouldn't be about profit.
When it comes to genetic engineering (of any natural form), you are treading on the ground where higher theologies, philosophies and ideaologies, and the lower derivations of such, each trumpet their own concepts of morailty.
Because of this, it is also where the search for purity and/or enhanced abilities and properties ultimately tend towards the obsessive.
This is the ideal feeding ground (in a promissory economy) where those who have arguably less desire for adherence to moralistic unanimity, are free to garner funds and manipulate the fervently moralistic few, to their own ends. I.e the perpeutation of the dominance of, and capitulation to, monetised power.
The concept of openness can never be wholly-effective here, as the relative few who espouse this learned (not innate) behaviour, are in too narrow a margin of the gamut of moral diversity that several thousand years of human evolution has been able to generate.
It would be exploited or quashed by those who seek control, or ultimately mutated by those on the fringes of what the open and the norm consider to be morally accpetable.
As a Drupal developer, I've had the mantra hammered into me: "Don't Hack Core." You write modules, you use the API, you submit patches, but you do not make changes to the source code that everyone shares, because if you do you screw yourself and ultimately everyone else.
Genetic engineering is hacking core. Life has an API (selective breeding) that we humans have successfully used for millions of years to make new organisms. Yes, it's slow, but it's safe. Genetic engineering -- at least using the tools available to us now -- is inherently dangerous, and should be in the hands of as few people as possible so that they can be regulated and watched closely for any screw-up. I'd prefer to have nobody doing it.
So although I agree that scientists should be free to study GMOs and publish their findings without having to go through Monsanto to do it, and I'd be ecstatic if the FDA would wait to approve new organisms until the open community of scientists reviewed the code and gave their approval, I can't imagine either of those things happening given the current cast of characters. I feel that genetic engineering is not compatible with the morals of the open source community and we should stand opposed to it in the same way and for the same reasons as the Drupal community opposes hacking core.
Genetic engineering has been underway since at least 1997 when an unlucky mouse got a human ear on its back. In 2001, rabbits that glow were created. MIT has an undergrad course in directed evolution of an enzyme. Lastly a group in Japan has managed to make glowing monkeys pass on the trait its children. Make no mistake genetic engineering is here and will be here forever.
The only real question is when does it turn into eugenics on demand? First, we engineer out all the nasty genetic diseases (or as many as we can), then we begin enhancement (already underway), then someone, somewhere will isolate a unique bit of the genome that only some group has and turns it into a weapon to eliminate that group.
In the meantime, those enhancements get passed on to the next generation of children - in the gene pool forever (or at least until someone reverses it). At that point humans will have taken over responsibility from Natural Selection to Directed Selection, with no turning back. No laws, rules or beliefs have universal control.
The future looks interesting, but not in a good way. And if you do not believe me, you are simply uninformed.


text: One of the more interesting things about the arguments pertaining to recess appointments on Monday in front of the United States Supreme Court is that most of the heat is coming from the liberal wing of the Court–Obama's erstwhile allies. It raises an interesting question, doesn't it, whether Obama is better off with Republicans blocking judicial appointees, as it seems that the liberal justices and judges are exhibiting a traditional distrust of executive power. Lack of cooperation with Congress, Obama's lawyers were instructed on Monday, does not warrant expansive executive action. In the subtext of this lecture was another not so subtle point: not only recess appointments dubious in this day and age, but administration by Executive Order is likely also in severe doubt. So how does Obama react to this lecture: he's headed off to North Carolina today to announce that he's issuing a slew of executive orders because Congress won't pass his bills. We've been discussing on this blog that Obamacare uncertainty drags down economic growth. Equally, uncertainty caused by regulatory and arbitrary executive action is a death knell for growth. If what the Supreme Court says is true, this new batch of executive orders can be expected to be followed by defiance and challenge, and a supreme court case questioning the extent that Obama can just by-pass Congress. If Congress passes the new 1.1 trillion travesty of a spending bill this week, it will do so as a result of bipartisan compromise that rejected much of what Obama plans to do by fiat. This is not congressional defiance of Obama's agenda–this is Obama's defiance of Congress–and a clear lesson of the Supreme Court. As if this guy cares about the constitution anyway.
