Skip to comments.Both sides turn up the heat in final pipeline hearing
Posted on 10/07/2011 4:36:20 PM PDT by jazusamo
Administration decision due on $7 billion project
A final public hearing on the proposed $7 billion Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL oil pipeline on Friday turned into a heated and often testy battle, filled with boos and cheers for speakers who traveled from across the country to testify.
Protesters gathered outside the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center early in the morning, and then flooded into the hearing room, where a number of them pleaded with the State Department to reconsider its support for the pipeline. Supporters, which include both business and labor groups, say the project will provide needed energy from a reliable ally, reduce the nations reliance of overseas suppliers, and create thousands of new construction and maintenance jobs. Critics say the economic benefits are overstated and that the project bisecting the nations midsection will wreak environmental havoc on sensitive lands along its path.
The State Department, which must approve the proposal as the pipeline originates across the border in Canada, appears to be leaning toward approval despite a series of increasingly passionate public hearings in recent weeks, both in Washington and in the field, on the Keystone pipeline. Opponents say lobbying by TransCanada and U.S. energy interests has tilted the debate in favor of approval, a charge the State Department has rejected.
State Department officials will now review the public comments, and wrap up a 90-day review period in mid-November. Then, it will issue its final decision to the White House in December. President Obama has faced pressure from environmental groups, including a series of protests outside the White House, as the decision day has neared.
At Fridays packed hearing, Robin Mann, director of Sierra Club, an environmental group, said she had come all the way from Pennsylvannia to make her voice heard...
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
White House will never let this happen.
It's my undestanding it's being piped to the refineries in Texas for our use.
Yeah, let's waste more billions on solar panels and windmills that don't work and damage the landscape way more than this pipeline ever will.
what do you mean taxpayer's expense? evidence please.
Why? There's already refineries in the south. How does refining and shipping separated product help, or how is it cost-effective?
Exactly! The enviro nuts consider any energy not renewable energy taboo but renewable energy is horribly inefficient and costs way more.
Once again, you reveal your ignorance.
The refined products will be consumed in the US of A. We no longer export finished product, except under special circumstances (i.e., under contract, in exchange for crude from Mexico, bunker fuel for ships returning to foreign ports).
All the distributive pipelines in the US market originate on the Gulf Coast, where the refineries are. In order to distribute from northern refineries, a whole new set of distributive pipelines would need to be built.
You can generally count on businesses to make the most efficient economic decisions. Whether you agree with them or not.
If you do not know what depreciation/and depletion is, it is to late for me to explain it to you.
I've noticed that the squirrels two streets North are predominantly black this year, but on this side of the bisection they are gray. In other years they've been red here, gray there, or white there and black here.
Oh the humanity.
Who are these econuts who imagine a pipeline bisects anything. For the most part it's going to be 30 feet deep in the ground!
There's already a substantial pipeline into the area. This is an ADDITIONAL PIPELINE.
The great advantage is this will pipe the oil to EXISTING year round refineries.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
You realize that there is some profit derived by the refiner--why shouldn't it be in the U. S.? And, there's a pretty good transportation infrastructure centered around Oklahoma. Isn't that more centrally located than the Canadian field for distribution around the U. S.? And why build refineries up there if they exist here?
Now, if my assumptions are wrong, and the pipeline will cause some problems, tell me about it, and I'll reconsider my take on the situation.
We don't need more Chicom interests in our country, or Canada! Americans who want to give stuff to the Chicoms should be investigated closely and punished appropriately.
There is nothing wrong with building new refriners, just south of the border is there. At least they would not be shutting down and running up price everytime a storm hits the gulf.
I think it's more an issue of where the refineries are, and the difficulty in getting any new refineries built.
Refineries are expensive, and new ones are hard to get past the environmentalists. And yes, it would be nice if the Gulf weather didn't affect our oil supply as much as it does--but is it worth the cost to duplicate or replace it? And given the predictable opposition, how long would it take?
The OIL comes from Canada. There is no depletion allowance for foreign origin oil. This stuff simply has no well head taxes or tax breaks in the American tax system.
It blows my mind that there is even a question of approving construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. The oil sands will be developed one way or another. The U.S. will keep using oil for decades. Doesnt it make more sense to import oil from Canada than from repressive, autocratic nations like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia? (And for those who conflate being anti-pipeline with a belief that Peak Oil is around the corner what better reason could there be to secure strategic supplies of crude?)
A lot less time than the legal battle, that will start shortly. Matter. Of fact I think the nature crowd file their first case a few days ago. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/05/groups-sue-to-block-construction-of-keystone-xl_n_996075.html
Cost of the pipe line, is probably 100 times that of a refinery. That is cost effective. So which is the most cost effective. Building a refinery in the north, are a ten years legal fight, and stealing thousands of peoples property by eminent domain.
Whiting Refinery Modernization Project
Today, BP is investing several billion dollars in Northwest Indiana to modernize its Whiting Refinery for the processing of heavier crudes. The modernization is essential to the long-term viability of the refinery, and includes well over a billion dollars in environmental improvements.
The modernization
project will provide for greater energy security in the
Midwest, as conventional supplies of the lighter crudes
diminish, and are replaced by heavier crudes.
With this in mind, the project involves repositioning Whiting
to be able to run heavier sour crude oil. It involves a new
crude distillation unit, a 100kbd coker, world scale
hydrotreating and sulphur recovery, and improvements
I might ad that the oilsands will be exploited and production will be increased if this pipeline is built or not. If the US doesn't want the oil a pipeline will be built over the mountains to the west coast. The oil will be loaded into tankers and sold to the Chicoms.
Do you have some references for that? Obviously, the relative cost matters. Without any specific knowledge of my own, I would have though the pipeline cheaper.
You're absolutely right, the Chicoms can't wait to get their hands on it.
I guess that is a bad thing too.
Interesting--I didn't know that. It's not "100 times" though. I suppose there are ancillary costs and delays. I'll consider what you've said, but without knowing the rest of the story (refinery construction, who would have the expertise to own and build it, the rest of the transportation story) I can't really form a fully informed opinion. But, you've given me something to think about and look into, as I assumed the pipeline would just be a lot cheaper.
It's been awhile since I studied engineering economics and industrial engineering as an undergrad...refresh my memory.
what does that have to do with a project "at tax payers expense"? Is the pipe privately owned or not?
Listen up buddy, I like your posts on this thread. I don't know if I agree with everything you say, but i do want you to keep talking.
btw, its starting to sound to me like you are in favor of building new refineries in north america. I like that idea. In fact, I've been wondering out loud why we don't build a refinery in north dakota...along with all the other ancillaries that go with a refinery...as in hydro cracking and such.
Lots of jobs. lots of national security. lots of american know how and independence. Sure, maybe some ass*holes in DC and wallstreet won't get as big a bonus on their stocks, but do I need to quantify my regrets on that to you?
You need to get into this discussion pronto, thackney!
This is not at tax payer expense.
They are not asking for tax breaks, just permission to spend their money and go to work.
Nonsense. You use the same refinery and refine North Americal petroleum instead of crude oil from OPEC.
There is no change in volume required, just a change in a more reliable and friendly source.
I do not grasp the need of the pipe line at all.. and bringing the Chinese into it is stupid as well, hell they will make the pipe no matter what.
So they are going to give up the depreciation, I had no ideal.
More nonsense. And you are forgeting if you built refineries in North Dakota for this, you would have to also build product pipelines as well. Either case requires building pipelines.
What tax break are you claiming would be used for crude oil / bitumen pipeline that would not be applied to a new refinery and refined product pipelines?
Let me cue you into a little known fact nowadays...
In america, nearly all steel production is derived from recycled scrap metal. You cannot get high grade cast iron anymore that is american origin...or wrought iron of high grade. These products require iron ore in large quantities and a process that is not friendly to the environmental gods of the hippy lefties.
Maybe this pipeline requires steel of such a grade that general run of the mill scrap is not sufficient for procurement...just a possibility that popped into my mind.
I just want to make sure all parties understand...
I did not intend for this to be me and thackney against whodat. I brought thackney into this fray so that me and whodat could battle against thackney as allies(on this matter only). I do not have very good memories of past grudges and i have no idea if I have a grudge against either of you. Even when I get abusive on FR I do not remember who it was I was abusive with or who was abusive to me. that is my way on FR. whatever happens on a thread, stays on that thread...as far as i'm concerned.
I just want to engage in a spirited debate. thackney appears to be up to the challenge of taking on two adversaries. So lets do it.
thackney makes good points about the existing ancillaries in texas though. there is more to petroleum processing than refinement...then there is the issue of distribution of those petro-chemicals.
I am of the mindset that "if you build it, they will come". But I have no technical proof.
This new oil pipeline goes from western Canada to the US Midwest and then south to the Gulf for several reasons. It gives Canada a market for the vast amounts of oil in its oil sand area. It goes to the Midwest and Gulf because existing US refineries are located there to refine this type of heavy crude. The Gulf refineries are available as Chavez of Venezuela stopped send similar heavy crude up because he hates the US. Little of the refined product would leave the US as we want it and the price is right.

The Recent Files screen greets you when you first launch Revit. The screen gives you quick access to the most recently- used project and family files, you'll also find quick links to various resources, mostly online resources that maybe of interest to you, like the user community and what's new and things like that. So let's take a look. Here is our Recent Files screen as it appears in Revit Architecture. I've got my Projects area at the top and my Families area beneath that. The last four projects that you had open are shown there with icons, up to the last four, because as you can see here with the Family area I haven't opened any families yet, so I only see two items there.
Now what you see on your screen may vary slightly because naturally you might have opened different files than I have, so the specific items that are listed here aren't that important, it's just simply that it's a quick way for you to get to that file again. So if I was working on this project yesterday, and I want to reopen it again today, all I have to do is click this icon and it will launch that file for me. Now if that's not the file that I want to work on I have some options over here. I can click the Open link and that would take me to a browse window, and I can go out and locate the project that I want to open. I'm going to cancel that.
I can click this New link here and that will create a new project just based on the default template whatever that happens to be, okay, and that's a setting that we can actually change, or I've got a few other template choices that are listed here which also may vary on one installation of Revit to the next, so what you see specifically listed here on your screen might vary slightly. Now the other way that we can access all of these similar commands New and Open and Save is using the application menu, so I'd like to show you that now, but before I do I'm going to just create using this Architectural Template link just to create a blank file to have as a backdrop. The reason for that is, as you'll notice, many of the interface items are not actually loaded until you have a project loaded.
So what I have loaded in the background is not really important, but I want to focus on the application menu here, and I just needed to have something open in the background in order to do that. Now the application menu can best be described as essentially the file menu for Revit. You have things like New and Open and Save, your typical commands that you would expect to find in a File menu, we have Print and of course Close, all of the sort of standard commands for file management. Now the way these work is if I just simply click the item, like the New item, I'll actually get a second project that will load up. I'm currently in project one, but if I were to just click right on New, it would create project two.
If I hover over New you can see that it loads up a menu over here in the side of the application menu and gives me some options, so I could create either a new project, or a new family, or a new conceptual mass, so if you want to create one of these other types of files then that's the way you do it, you just simply pause your mouse first over the new item and then that will make the others appear. Let me show you that with the Open item. If I pause over Open, now I can either open Projects or Families or Building Components, and so on.
Now a command like Save doesn't have any sub-options, so it's just simply a command you would click. Save As does have options so it's got the little arrow over here, and again, you pause over it and you'll see the different options that are available. In some cases like this Library option there is a further flyout here, this tiny little triangle here is showing me that, and I could save as a Family, a Group or a View. So there are various options that become evident as you hover over each one of these little things. Now if I collapse all of that and take my mouse off of any of those commands, at the very top here you see two small icons, one that's labeled Recent Documents and another one that's labeled Open Documents.
Now Recent Documents is listing the two files that I've previously opened in the last chapter. Yours may vary depending on how many previous Revit files you've had opened. The list can hold several items here, there's plenty of room, and if there is an item that you want to keep on the list permanently, we have this little pushpin future over here. So the way this works is if you just simply click this little icon right there, that will pin that item to the list, and then as this list grows, what normally happens is the items that you've opened most recently stay on the list and the ones you opened long ago will eventually scroll off the list when you run out of room down here at the bottom.
If you click the pushpin that item will stay on the list, it will maintain its spot and stay on the list and other items will scroll past it. So if there is a project that you want to make sure that you always have a quick access to, that's a great way to do it. If you switch to this icon, this just shows you what you currently have open, and you could see at the moment all I have open is Project1. If I opened another project, like the Hierarchy file from the previous chapter, and then opened this up, you can see that now lists both items here on the list.
So as you open additional files they will just simply appear there on the list. So the recent files screen and the application menu both provide quick and easy access to your most recently used project and families in Revit. Use recent files to get started when you first launch Revit, and you can use the application menu anytime to open and close files or create new files and generate output as you're working in the software.

The Columbus Police Department fielded 173 calls in January, as the department put emphasis on disturbance and stolen-property calls, officials said.
According to statistics provided by CPD Public Information Officer Terrie Songer, of the 173 calls the department received in January, 33 calls dealt with disturbance issues, domestic and otherwise.
The department also responded to 31 accident calls as well as 22 miscellaneous calls during the first month of 2010, and 11 calls regarding stolen property.
"We want to make sure we help the citizens in their efforts to recover stolen property. We want to make sure we step up our patrols in the areas where this occurs, especially if it happens in the daytime hours," said Columbus Police Chief Joseph St. John.
The department also responded to four suspicious activity calls as well as four burglary calls and three trespassing activities.

The Nation: O. J. Simpson and Susan Smith; Two Crimes, Two Punishments
By RICK BRAGG
Published: January 22, 1995
ATLANTA— ON different sides of the country, in different worlds of power and influence, Susan V. Smith and O. J. Simpson are accused of murder by unspeakable means. The difference is in the price the criminal-justice system will exact if they are convicted, in a nation where the application of the death penalty is inconsistent.
In Union, S.C., prosecutors say Mrs. Smith, 23, a woman once unknown outside the little mill town where she was born, drowned her two young sons in a dark lake and lied to the outside world for nine days in October, claiming a young black man stole her babies as she stood screaming at the side of the road. She made about $17,000 a year, worked as a secretary in a textile mill and drove a Mazda. Prosecutors want her to die in the electric chair.
In Los Angeles, prosecutors say the famous Mr. Simpson, who once ran untouched through N.F.L. defenses and television rent-a-car commercials, stalked and viciously cut and stabbed to death his former wife and her companion. He had assets of about $10 million, in mansions, beachfront condos and Ferraris. Mr. Simpson, whose trial begins tomorrow, does not face California's death penalty.
At first glance, or sniff, it smells. Why is a rich and famous person spared the ultimate penalty, yet it looms over a relatively poor, obscure one?
Somewhat surprisingly, respected legal experts on either side of the capital punishment debate say that while money is often an issue, it was not the driving influence in the prosecutorial decisions in how to proceed against Mr. Simpson and Ms. Smith.
The 'Mirror Theory'
This time, they say, the key factor is what prosecutors see in the faces of their communities, what law professors and lawyers call "the mirror theory."
"The life-and-death decision is made on trivial grounds, and tends to reflect the community's prejudices," said Franklin Zimring, director of the Earl Warren Legal Institute at the University of California at Berkeley.
In the past, the mirror has borne a predictable image. People on death row are still disproportionately poor and black. But this time the black defendant is wealthy and famous, and it is the white female defendant who is on trial for her life -- a rare prospect for execution, since only one woman has been put to death since the Supreme Court allowed executions to resume in 1976.
To make a death-penalty case forcefully, prosecutors still have to pursue a strategy not entirely unlike those of race-baiting prosecutors in the past. They have to transform a client from one of "us," a member of the human community, to one of "them," the predators who would destroy it.
That is hard to do with a football hero, and much easier with a mill worker accused of drowning her babies, even if she was an honors student voted "most friendly" in high school, said lawyers who specialize in death penalty cases.
"Simpson is like a member of the family, so much a part of American life," said Stephen Bright, an Atlanta attorney and expert on capital murder trials. "As a result, it is much more like having a friend or family member accused of a crime. Susan Smith is defined publicly only by the crime."
There are other factors, said Mr. Bright, not the least of which is geography. South Carolina, which leads the nation in incarcerations per capita, has a reputation as a law-and-order state. When Mrs. Smith was formally charged, a bloodthirsty crowd outside the courthouse screamed its outrage, saying she should be locked in a car and drowned in the same lake where her children, 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex, died.
"This is an opportunity for national publicity," said Mr. Bright, "to exploit the death penalty politically."
Even though capital punishment statistically appears to be no real deterrent to crime, and even though it has wrecked county budgets -- some counties have had to raise taxes to finance capital murder trials, which are more expensive that other criminal trials -- the embrace of the death penalty is driven by "the passion of the moment," said Mr. Bright.
The prosecutor, Thomas Pope, said last week he decided to seek the death penalty after hearing the views of hundreds of people, including the family of Mrs. Smith and her estranged husband, David.
Not everyone in Union County clamored for retribution in kind. Sheriff Howard Wells took a political risk when he said it would be better to spare his county the media spotlight and expense, emotional and financial, of a capital trial.
"What the Los Angeles prosecutor did was, on balance, braver than what the South Carolina prosecutor did," said Mr. Zimring.
But politics was also a driving force in the Simpson case. Los Angeles County prosecutors knew that putting a national hero on trial for his life might alienate the public and the jury that is drawn from it. The Los Angeles County Prosecutor, Gil Garcetti, "engaged in damage control," said Mr. Bright, explaining that if Mr. Garcetti had pushed for the death penalty, he might have guaranteed an acquittal.
Choosing not to seek the death penalty against Mr. Simpson, however, was not a departure from the norm in Los Angeles County. His case -- loosely defined as "domestic," involving a defendant with no felony convictions -- did not fit the profile for successfully prosecuted capital crime in California.
The decision was made by a prosecutors' screening committee that looked at all aspects of the case. Some prosecutors also discussed the matter with black leaders in Los Angeles. Mr. Garcetti's office issued a short statement acknowledging the concerns of the community, but said the decision not to seek the death penalty came "independent of those concerns." Mr. Simpson instead faces life in prison if convicted.
The Family of 'Us'
In the South Carolina case, Mrs. Smith said she was distraught over personal problems and close to suicide, and planned to die with her children. Somewhere, somehow, she supposedly changed her mind, but not soon enough to save her children.
But many in Union believe she killed her children because a man she had been dating said he was not ready for "a ready-made family."
It is her attorney's job to humanize her, to bring her back into the family of "us," and in that she has an expert in David Bruck, one of the nation's most respected defense attorneys in capital cases.
"It's very frustrating that I can't tell her story now," said Mr. Bruck, who will wait for the trial. "If I could, the public would take a different view."
Ernest van den Haag, a retired professor of law and public policy at Fordham University, believes in the death penalty and says both crimes are brutal enough to warrant it. But he does not believe Mr. Simpson, because of who he is, was ever in any real danger of getting the death penalty. And he thinks it is a tactical mistake to seek the death penalty in the Smith case, as it would have been in the Simpson case. "Public opinion is against Mrs. Smith now," he said, "but it will shift in her favor."
Mr. van den Haag added that the death penalty, like any form of punishment, is never exact. "It's a lottery," he said.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Miss Jada Don't Play That
At last! Serena thought, taking one last look in the mirror. They have recognized how good I am at what I do!
She was known for her patience, her ability to wait her turn, but the last thing she needed was one more boring modeling assignment. Finally, they had handed her something she could really sink her teeth into. It was about time. Six feet tall before stepping into her five-inch, stiletto-heel boots and startlingly slender, Serena had a strange, otherworldly beauty that she emphasized by pulling her long, dark hair away from her face, emphasizing her high, sharp cheekbones, her almond-shaped eyes, and the bright red slash of her mouth, always painted crimson.
Modeling had been a perfect cover for her and the others, who looked enough like Serena to be her sisters. They had been given unlimited access to any men they fancied, which was great, but lately they had become so well known that it was hard to move around without drawing a crowd of pain-in-the-ass innocent bystanders, which was never a good thing. She had been assured that once they successfully completed their Atlanta assignment, the modeling cover would be honorably retired from service.
Serena was glad to hear it and she had every intention of successfully completing her mission. There was no room for distractions. When her superiors told her that she was going to Atlanta for a few weeks, they repeated the usual warnings about all things male, but there was no need to worry. Serena had waited too long for an assignment like this. Romance was the last thing on her agenda.
It wasn't that Serena didn't believe in love. She just hadn't been raised to seek it, need it, or trust it. The stories that the women in her family passed along from one generation to the next all warned of the destructive power of making bad choices in matters of the heart. They stressed the dangers of opening her door, or her legs, to a man to whom their ideas of love and honor were no more than musings in a foreign-sounding tongue.
That's what she'd been taught by those much wiser than she was. And who was she to question them? It was that wisdom that had helped their little group survive when so many others like them had disappeared. Besides, she was not a politician or a philosopher or a social scientist. She was simply an agent with a nonnegotiable contract to enforce that had been willingly and freely signed by all parties, including those young fools from Morehouse who had been living like kings all over Atlanta for the last four years. Now it was time for them to hold up their end of the bargain. They had been instructed to show up on campus this morning to finalize the details of their agreement. She and her team would be there, shooting an Essence magazine cover spread, but that's exactly what it was: a cover. Their real assignment had nothing to do with fashion and everything to do with survival.
Serena wondered if the boys would try to weasel out of it. She assumed that they would, but that was neither here nor there. They would be no match for the team she was bringing with her. Scylla was the best possible second-in-command and had trained the girls relentlessly until Serena was confident they could perform efficiently no matter what challenges they might have to face. One way or another, the five guys whose names were on her list had a trip to a very private island in their future.
Showtime, Serena thought, giving her hair one more pat and opening the door to the living room of the suite at the Four Seasons hotel that she would be sharing with Scylla for the next seven days. Already dressed head to toe in black, as was Serena, Scylla was standing in the center of the room, staring at the giant flat-screen TV.
"Time to go?" Scylla said, without taking her eyes off the screen where a dancing couple was swooping and gliding around the floor, baring their blindingly white teeth at each other and faking as much sexual energy as they could, under the circumstances.
"We've got a few minutes," Serena said, glancing at her watch and heading for the small wet bar in the corner where there were several bottles of Bloody Mary mix and a fifth of Absolut. "I'm going to drop you off and then stop by and pay my respects to Blue Hamilton. Have you had your cocktail?"
It was a rhetorical question, so she didn't wait for an answer, as she reached for two glasses and dropped in ice cubes from the polished silver bucket nearby. She opened the vodka and poured a splash in each glass. She was sick of tomato juice, but the vodka made it a little more tolerable. Her hands moved quickly and efficiently, as if she could perform these bartending chores in her sleep.
On the screen, an embarrassed actor, way past his sexual prime, was trying to catch his breath after executing a laughable attempt at a mambo.
"What are you watching?"
"Dancing with the Stars."
"At seven thirty in the morning?"
Scylla waggled the remote in Serena's direction. "On demand," she said. "In case you missed it."
Serena stirred their drinks delicately with a plastic swizzle stick, carried both glasses across the room, and set one down in front of Scylla, who took a small sip.
"We should be on there," Scylla said, nodding at the screen.
"Dancing with the Stars?" Serena shook her head. "No thanks."
"Don't knock it. Maybe they would let us all compete together. Sort of in a group."
"No, probably not. Just you."
"You think they'd let me pick my own partner?"
"I don't see how they could stop you." Serena sat down and crossed her long legs and took a swallow of her drink. "Who did you have in mind? Brad Pitt?"
"Yeah, right," Scylla said sarcastically. "Like Angelina is going to let his pussy-whipped ass come out and dance with us."
"She gave us an island instead of her man," Serena said, as a liquid shrug rippled her slender shoulders like a breeze. "What are you gonna do?"
"How about Will Smith?" Scylla said, but Serena just raised an eyebrow.
"You know Miss Jada don't play that."
Scylla turned toward Serena with an expression that was almost hopeful. "She's not with us, is she?"
Serena shook her head and took another swallow of her Bloody Mary. "No way. What made you think that?"
"Well, you know she's got that punk band, Wicked Wisdom. Black leather. Scientology."
"She's not a Scientologist."
"Too bad," Scylla said, shaking her head a little. "That would make it easier to ask her if we can use her husband to jump-start things."
"It's the Mormons who are into polygamy."
"I know, but the Scientologists have that frozen sperm thing, right? What we're asking isn't any weirder than that."
Serena looked at her friend. "This feels so familiar, doesn't it? Like old times?"
"Don't get sentimental on me," Scylla said, reaching over to pat Serena's hand briskly like a mother telling a toddler to buck up on the first day of nursery school. "We've got a job to do, remember?"
Serena saw no reason to respond to that. She was in charge of this mission. Forgetting about the job was not an option. They watched a not very interesting quick step from a lackluster couple who seemed tired of the show and of each other.
"Do you think it's our fault?" Scylla said, taking another swallow of her drink. "About the men."
"What do you mean?"
"You know, all of them dying out like that at one time."
The judges were suggesting that the couple needed more practice. They agreed and promised to come back stronger next week, but everybody knew their steps were already numbered.
"I think it was the vibrators," Serena said, draining her glass and standing up. It was time to go.
Scylla frowned slightly, drained her glass, too, and clicked off the television. "What about the virbrators?"
"Once we got them perfected, it was a lot harder to get the girls to spend any time and energy on a real, live man. They just weren't as reliable." Serena went over to the closet and reached for her black trench coat. "Remember when they started issuing them as soon as we hit puberty?"
"Do I?" Scylla grabbed her big black shoulder bag and zipped up her black leather jacket. "On my thirteenth birthday, my mom gave me a box of Tampax and a pink vibrator as big as a baby's arm." She made a low, hissing sound like a snake sunning on a rock, and shook her head, remembering.
"What'd you do with it?"
"I followed the instructions on the back of the box," Scylla said, reaching for the door. "And the rest is herstory."
"See, that's exactly what I'm talking about." Serena followed her out into the hallway.
The maid, slowly pushing her housekeeping cart down the long, empty hallway, seemed startled by the tall, alarmingly thin women striding in her direction, and she dropped her eyes and let them pass.
"We can pleasure ourselves, feed ourselves, lead ourselves," Serena said, punching the elevator Down button with a jab of her red-tipped finger. "All they had left to do was impregnate us and keep out of the way."
"Is that such a bad life?" Scylla said.
Serena turned back to her friend and arched her perfectly shaped eyebrows. "Would it be enough for you?"
"Of course not," Scylla said calmly. "But we're women. Men are different, remember?"
Chapter Two
Mingling with Humans
If there was one thing Blue Hamilton hated, it was a goddamn vampire, but there was no mistaking this one. He pulled into his usual space in front of the West End News and watched her. The girl was very tall and very thin and even sort of sexy in that weird, high-fashion kind of way. She was wearing tight black leather pants that hugged her almost boyish hips, a cropped, black leather bomber jacket, and a black turtleneck sweater. Her black suede boots ended at her thighs and seemed to be molded in such a way that they had no proper heel at all, requiring her to balance delicately on the balls of her feet, leaning slightly forward as she made her way down Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard like she belonged there. Which she most certainly did not.
When she stopped for the light at the corner across from the MARTA train station and tossed back her long dark hair, the incense and T-shirt vendors, who were never at a loss for words, just stood unblinking until she was too far away to hear them, not a single one able to gather his wits about him and offer the usual spiel. Somehow, they seemed to know she was out of their league and they let her glide by without so much as a, "Good mornin', sistah! You're lookin' lovely today, mah queen!"
Blue sighed as she turned out of sight. Everywhere he looked these days, he was confronted with glamorous images of ghostly vamps mingling with humans in New York and certain neighborhoods in L.A., like there was nothing strange about it at all. Vamps is what he called them and vamps is what they were. Lean, mean, sexy girls, pale as the belly of a bigmouth bass. Slim hipped and staring with what would have been soulful eyes, except these lithe creatures had no souls. That was the whole point. They were the undead and now they were roaming around Atlanta like it was suddenly a suburb of Beverly Hills.
It was only a matter of time before one of them strolled into the West End News, looking for a cappuccino. The problem was, nobody suspected that their sudden ubiquity was anything more than the latest craze of a death-obsessed culture. Nobody thought they were real. Nobody except Blue. He knew that these girls-and the real ones were all girls-were here for a reason. But what was it?
Sometimes Blue missed the old days when the gangstas and the crackheads were as deep as it got. He had known how to deal with them, and West End had become an oasis of peace and civility even as things continued to spiral out of control all over the country and all over the world. The West End News carried papers from everywhere, but Blue hardly spent the time it took to read the front pages anymore. The stories were all the same. War, disease, famine, rape, genocide, and territorial disputes over water and oil and drugs and whatever else somebody thought they needed bad enough to take somebody's life for it.
Blue was different. The people he had eliminated from West End over the years had been guilty of such heinous crimes that no one could argue that justice had not been served. Prostituting children. Torturing women. Raping mothers in front of their sons. When the guys responsible for those crimes disappeared from the scene, nobody was sorry. Even their mothers were relieved as they closed their eyes and clasped their hands and said a little prayer for the souls of their babies gone bad. But these vampires were a whole other thing. Slinking around in their tight black clothes and their bright red lips, they had no one to pray for them, which probably suited them just fine. How do you pray for something that has no soul?
Blue stepped out of the car and looked around at his neighborhood on its way to work. Everybody worked in West End. If you couldn't find a job, Blue found one for you. Of course if you wanted to spend your time hustling dope, pimping women, or watching porno in your grandmomma's basement, you had every right to do that. You just couldn't do it in West End.
"Hey, Mr. Blue!" a woman called as she headed over to the twenty-four-hour beauty salon. "Why you gotta be so sharp this early in the morning?"
Blue smiled and touched his fingertips lightly to the front of his perfectly blocked Homburg. He was aware that it gave him an immediate visual advantage to appear on the streets of West End dressed in the manner made famous by Michael Corleone in The Godfather: black silk suit, blindingly white shirt, black cashmere coat, black hat, and highly polished shoes. It was a uniform that conferred the authority of a mythical movie gangster who was a role model even to small-time thugs whose crimes were no more organized than anything else they did.
The place was already full when Blue walked in. The West End News was a popular coffee shop and well-stocked newsstand, and Blue's base of operations, maintained from a suite of rooms in the back where no one ventured without an invitation and an escort. Behind the counter, Henry Graham, his right-hand man, and Phoebe Sanderson, who'd been working there part-time since high school, were making cups of perfect cappuccino and teasing the regulars who stopped in for their daily fix of caffeine and gossip. When he looked up and saw Blue, Henry nodded imperceptibly and Phoebe followed his eyes to the door.

Shuttle Launch Postponed Indefinitely As Sensor Gets Fixed
By Michael Cabbage Space Coast Bureau
July 16, 2005
NASA indefinitely postponed the launch of the space shuttle Discovery on Friday as engineers continued to troubleshoot the baffling fuel sensor problem that stopped Wednesday's countdown. Workers took Discovery out of its countdown mode and entered a compartment at the orbiter's rear to look for loose connections and make preparations for replacing a suspect electronics box. Shuttle managers still had no solid leads on the problem's cause. "It's possible that we could be back in the countdown and looking at a launch in the latter half of the [next]
Space Shuttle Cleared For Landing
By Michael Cabbage and Robyn Shelton Space Coast Bureau
August 5, 2005
Shuttle Discovery's astronauts are safe to come home without further repairs to the ship's heat shielding, NASA managers decided Thursday. Engineers had debated whether to have the crew perform the mission's fourth spacewalk to deal with a torn thermal blanket beneath a window outside Discovery's flight deck. The concern was that parts of the woven ceramic material might break free during the latter stages of the shuttle's return to Earth and hit another part of the orbiter. Analyses concluded that a damaged piece of the blanket, weighing less than an ounce, had a 1.5 percent chance of coming off at a critical time and causing structural damage.
Shuttle Links Up With Ease In Space
By BETH DICKEY The New York Times
May 30, 1999
Hours after arriving at the international space station aboard the first craft ever to dock there, the space shuttle Discovery astronauts prepared Saturday for a spacewalk outside the orbiting outpost to mount cranes and other tools for use by future construction crews. Discovery docked with the space station at 12:24 EDT Saturday morning, concluding a 41-hour chase that began with the shuttle's launching from Florida on Thursday. The shuttle and the unfinished station -- consisting of a Russian control module and an American-made connecting hub -- were flying at 17,500 mph 235 miles above Russia when they made contact.
Debris Delays Shuttle Return
By John Johnson Jr. Los Angeles Times
September 20, 2006
NASA delayed today's scheduled landing of the space shuttle Atlantis for at least a day after onboard cameras spotted what looked like a piece of debris drifting away from the spacecraft. "We saw something," said shuttle program manager N. Wayne Hale Jr. at a news briefing Tuesday. "The question is, what is it?" Atlantis' crew will perform a five-hour inspection of the outside of the craft today, using the shuttle's remote arm, which is equipped with a television camera. If the inspection turns up no damage, Hale said, it is likely the shuttle will be cleared to land Thursday.
Shuttle Inflates Antenna

More than 175 miles above Earth on Monday, nitrogen gas inflated an antenna to the size of a tennis court. NASA hopes the experiment also has expanded the options for putting equipment into space cheaply. "We took a giant step in that direction," said Steven Bard, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's inflatable antenna project manager. Meanwhile, the space shuttle Endeavour sprang a small leak in a maneuvering thruster, but flight director Wayne Hale said it should not cause any problems for the 10-day mission.
`Discovery' Returns To `The Wrong Coast'

The space shuttle Discovery landed in California on Tuesday, ending a successful 11-day research mission that was prolonged by stormy weather at its primary runway in Florida. The six astronauts touched down at Edwards Air Force Base at 5:13 p.m. EDT, with mission Cmdr. Dick Richards and pilot Blaine Hammond at the controls. For the second day in a row, rain and clouds kept Discovery from landing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where many of the astronauts' family members had gathered to greet them.
NASA delays Atlantis launch for repair work
By Robyn Shelton Orlando Sentinel
April 11, 2007
NASA managers decided Tuesday to push back the launch of shuttle Atlantis until at least June 8 so the agency can finish repairs on the ship's hail-damaged fuel tank. The tank's foam covering was damaged during a February storm, and NASA had been considering replacing the tank with a new one. But shuttle program manager Wayne Hale said that testing and analysis indicate it is safe to fly a repaired tank. If the work at Kennedy Space Center continues on track, Atlantis could return to its launch pad in early May and be ready to fly between June 8 and July 17. "We'd like to avoid the work of taking the orbiter back to [its hangar]
Nasa Plans 3 Shuttle Flights
By Michael Cabbage SPACE COAST BUREAU
March 1, 2006
NASA plans to launch three space-shuttle flights in 2006 if engineers can solve the problem of dangerous debris falling from the ship's external fuel tank during liftoff. Shuttle managers plan to meet Thursday to discuss target launch dates of May 10, Aug. 28 and Nov. 16. Before the first mission flies, however, they must convince themselves that six changes made to the 15-story tank since Discovery's liftoff in July are safe. During Discovery's launch, 16 major pieces of foam insulation, including a large part of a ramp near the tank's midsection, broke off. That flight was the first to test a two-year redesign of the tank after a briefcase-size piece of foam debris led to the Columbia accident in 2003.
Space Shuttle Swerves Onto Runway
By SHIRISH DATE The Orlando Sentinel
March 19, 1994
The space shuttle Columbia returned safely from a two-week mission on Friday, despite swerving twice as it landed on the Kennedy Space Center runway. Shuttle commander John Casper guided Columbia through blue skies and light winds onto the runway at 8:09 a.m. NASA officials said they could not explain the two swerves but said the movements were not considered alarming and never placed the shuttle, NASA's oldest, in any danger. Flight Director Wayne Hale said Mission Control lost contact with the shuttle's computers at touchdown, so he could not explain what had happened.

Voyager 1 has left our solar system and entered interstellar space...or HAS it? Nasa dismisses 'controversial' claim
- Scientists claim Voyager 1 entered interstellar space more than a year ago
- But Nasa argues that the spacecraft is still in a fuzzily-defined transition zone between the sun's sphere of influence and the rest of the galaxy
- Debate has arisen because our solar system has no clear boundary
Voyager 1 appears to have at long last left our solar system and entered interstellar space… Or has it?
The spacecraft, which carries Earthly greetings on a gold plated phonograph record, has travelled farther from Earth than any other human-made object.
Its current mission, along with Voyager 2, is to explore the outermost edge of the sun's domain and beyond.
Scroll down for video
A massive 36 years of scientific data generated by Nasa's Voyager spacecraft has been transformed into a powerful piece of orchestral music. Voyager 1's current mission (illustrated) along with Voyager 2, is to explore the outermost edge of the Sun's domain and beyond
And now, Maryland and Boston University researchers say it has begun the first exploration of our galaxy beyond the sun's influence.
But this contentious claim is at odds with a recent report from Nasa which claimed Voyager 1 was still exploring the final frontier of our solar system.
'It's a somewhat controversial view, but we think Voyager has finally left the solar system, and is truly beginning its travels through the Milky Way,' said Maryland University research scientist Marc Swisdak.
Mr Swisdak and fellow plasma physicists James Drake, also of the University of Maryland, and Merav Opher of Boston University have constructed a model of the outer edge of the heliosphere.
This artist's concept shows NASA's two Voyager spacecraft exploring a turbulent region of space known as the heliosheath, the outer shell of the bubble of charged particles around our sun
In the 36th year after their 1977 launches, the twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft continue exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before.
Their primary mission was the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn.
After making a string of discoveries there -- such as active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and intricacies of Saturn's rings -- the mission was extended.
Voyager 2 went on to explore Uranus and Neptune, and is still the only spacecraft to have visited those outer planets.
The current mission for both spacecraft, the Voyager Interstellar Mission, is to explore the outermost edge of the Sun's domain and beyond.
Their model indicates Voyager 1 actually entered interstellar space a little more than a year ago.
But NASA and other scientists believe the spacecraft is still in a fuzzily-defined transition zone between the Sun's sphere of influence and the rest of the galaxy.
The problem is scientists do not know exactly how far Voyager 1 has to go to reach interstellar space.
In reality, there isn't a clear boundary that defines the limits of our solar system 11 billion miles away.
The sun's pocket, also known as the heliosphere, is relatively well-understood as the region of space dominated by the magnetic field and charged particles emanating from our star.
Outside the heliosphere, interstellar space is filled with matter from other stars and the magnetic field present in the nearby region of the Milky Way.
Voyager is bathed in solar wind from the southern hemisphere flowing northward
The Voyager 1 spacecraft explored a new region in our solar system called the magnetic highway. In this region, the sun's magnetic field lines are connected to interstellar magnetic field lines, allowing particles from inside the heliosphere to zip away and particles from interstellar space to zoom in
According to conventional wisdom, scientists will know when Voyager has passed through this mysterious boundary when they stop seeing solar particles and start seeing galactic particles.
They will also be a change in the prevailing direction of the local magnetic field.
The problem is Nasa believes that the direction of magnetic fields in the solar bubble run in a different directional pattern to the fields found in interstellar space.
The University of Maryland argues that the magnetic fields inside and outside of the solar bubble run in the same direction.
They claim that because of this, there is an area where the solar bubble and interstellar space overlap, meaning the limits of our solar system are closer and that Voyager has already crossed it.
Voyager 1 is capable of returning scientific data from a full range of instruments, with adequate electrical power and attitude control propellant to keep operating until 2020.
In a statement Nasa's Voyager project scientist, Ed Stone said: 'The fine-scale magnetic connection model will become part of the discussion among scientists as they try to reconcile what may be happening on a fine scale with what happens on a larger scale.
'The Voyager 1 spacecraft is exploring a region no spacecraft has ever been to before. We will continue to look for any further developments over the coming months and years as Voyager explores an uncharted frontier.'
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, which were launched in 1977, are capable of returning scientific data from a range of instruments and have enough power to remain operational until 2020.

Posted on 08/31/2007 8:21:09 AM PDT by Froufrou
A professor whose views on the Holocaust irked critics plans to risk arrest by showing up on the first day of classes next week at DePaul University after officials canceled his courses, took away his office and put him on leave.
The private Chicago Catholic university recently informed professor Norman Finkelstein that his three courses were canceled after a dispute over tenure that drew charges of anti-Semitism against him.
Critics find issue with Finkelstein, the son of Holocaust survivors, who believes that some Jews have exploited the Holocaust. Finkelstein is the author of five books, including "The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering."
When classes start on Sept. 5, Finkelstein, who teaches political theory, will return to campus in response to "an attack on academic freedom and due process," he said. He was expecting to return this semester to teach "Equality in Social Justice," "Freedom and Empowerment" and an honors seminar.
"As usual I will show up for class on the first day and go to my office. I fully expect to be arrested," Finkelstein told FOXNews.com.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Why can't he go to his office? Paranoia?
Seems to boil down to this: "some Jews have exploited the Holocaust"
"Some" have.
Climatologists take note.
I presume the University wants to keep him at arm's length and to attempt to keep anything he publishes from being associated with them...?
Isn't he the one who spoke at an anti-Israel rally yelling "We're all Hamas!"?
Hmmmm... I don't know the background on this but something came to mind when reading it. Supposedly, this issue is about him writing that some Jews have made an industry out of exploiting the Holocaust... wouldn't that be about the same as Ann Coulter's Jersey Girls comment?
It doesn't deny the holocaust (9/11) took place just that some Jews (Jersey Girls) have exploited it.
What don't I know about this guy?
< /sarcasm>
Private property..........
just from reading that little snipet, he seems to have a point. i'm jewish by heritage. i don't practice, never have. i'm not touching this story. my views might not be taken too kindly, and i like being a member of FR.
When they make a movie of this, they can call it, "Fear and Self-Loathing in Chicago."
His class was cancelled. Was his office cancelled?
The guy's view is that Jews have exploited the Holocaust to defend Israel's right to exist. He thinks that's a bad thing. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out just what is wrong with justifying Israel's existence with reference to the massacre of half the world's Jews. Isn't the point of nationalism that every nation should have its own country? The Arabs have many countries. Shouldn't the Jews have one as well?
He's a charlatan, who has been fired by every college at which he taught. I'm not a big fan of Alan Dershowitz, but you might want to go to his website and read the short essay on "Finklestein's Bigotry."
He's a self-hating Jew. Really really bucked up. And really sad. He's a ready tool for the far left to bash Israel.
I know, I even hesitated before posting it! But what strikes me is the way that what used to be required academia has given way to notorious posturing ala Ward Churchill. That they get away with it is what is shocking, and it's indicative of the decay of education, IMHO.
This fink has an opinion, as do we all. Doesn't make him 'worthy' of tenure! He needs to do some SCHOLARLY writing to earn that!!!
Thank you. I'll check it out.
The University should ignore him. Assuming his office has not been reassigned to someone else, make sure the office door has a solid core and a new lock, then close and lock it, and ignore him.
See how long he stands outside the office door waiting for someone to let him in.
Some blacks have exploited slavery...
yes, some have.
I see no argument here.
I guess at the school, you cannot say such things.
I believe several of the playing-dumb posters on this thread actually know EXACTLY who this guy is and what he does.
Oh, how will life go on without this tool teaching these clearly valuable courses? Freedom is empowering? Gee, I think I need 4 months of lectures on this before I can really grasp the concept.
More evidence that most college education is about the biggest fraud and waste of money in the world today...
This guy, Finklestein, is a polemicist. Think âWard Churchill.â Heâs bragged that he doesnât write scholarly articles. Read Alan Dershowitzâs essay, reprinted from the WSJ, on Dershowitzâs website.
It's called criminal tresspass. And you have all the academic freedom in the world here, go see if you can teach along with the Iranian cited "scholar" David Duke. THIS university does not owe you a podium.
Ahhhh another fine example in America from the bastions of free thought and open mindedness!
I think that's a pretty good and fair analogy. I heard him interviewed once, and he wasn't any crazed anti-Semetic ranter. He made an argument that there are Holocaust-exploiting groups that have benfitted financially.
BTW, He had a famous debate with Alan Derschowitz, where he cleaned Derschowitz's clock, that has been discussed earlier here on FR.
Good points, all. It boggles the mind what passes for educators nowadays!
Seems Finkelstein is exploiting the Holocaust as well.
"Bastions" should end with 'ards,' huh?
See my post above. It's fair to say that you won;t get an unbiased view of Finklestein from reading Derschowitz. Finklestein DESTROYED Derschowitx publicly in a famous debate that Dersch is still trying to recover from.
His class was cancelled. Was his office cancelled?
He doesn't have an office there. He's going to squat in someone else's office.
I notice a lot of Holocaust deniers are in academia. Norm Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky come to mind.
How does this work? Can anyone teach a class at the CPL? I have in mind a class I would call "Academic A$$hole$." I could probably have it ready in a week or two.
It is puzzling to me that people who would, presumably, leap at the chance to attack Ward Churchill have come to the defense of Norman Finklestein. Those two are cut from the same cloth.
I can see why you would group them together, if just for the reason that they received the same fate, but they are not cut from the same cloth.
Finklestein is obsessive, but not an intellectual fraud and charlatan like Churchill.
By the way, I don't begrudge DePaul its right to remove Finklestein, and his attempt to stay on it farcical. He needs to just move on.

Then you're relying on second-hand accounts and letting others shape your opinions, and that's never a good thing.
I urge you to google "Finklestein and Derschowitz" and you can find the transcript of the debate, the background,etc.
Finklestein credibly accuses Derschowitz of plagiarism, and backs it up with facts. Dersch had to do some gymnastics to avoid having Harvard reprimand him, and I for one think that Derschowitz was proven guilty by Finklestein, It was quite a brush-up, and its not surprising that Dersch is central in the group trying to silence Finklestein.
