Skip to comments.The 'cat's eyes' laser that can help British troops pinpoint a sniper before he pulls the trigger
Posted on 01/13/2009 6:52:44 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY
Snipers or assassins could be spotted in their nests before even firing a shot thanks to laser surveillance technology to be unveiled in Britain.
European and U.S. companies are accelerating research into anti-sniper defences in response to threats in Afghanistan and Iraq and at home.
But most systems use acoustic or thermal sensors that depend on waiting for the first shot.
An alternative developed by the European aerospace group EADS aims to warn of attack and pinpoint the sniper before he pulls the trigger by bouncing light off his telescopic sight.
'It is the same principle as 'cat's eyes' in the middle of the road,' said Peter Talbot-Jones, research team leader at EADS Innovation Works at Newport in Wales.
'Cat's eyes' behave like the retina of a cat by reflecting light from a car's headlamps to illuminate lines on the road.

Does anyone else get the feeling that these technical innovations in counter-insurgency warfare make the second amendment even more irrelevent than it already is when it comes to protecting against the government?
You think the Second Amendment is irrelevant?
"Does anyone else get the feeling that these technical innovations in counter-insurgency warfare make the second amendment even more irrelevent than it already is when it comes to protecting against the government?"
IMO it makes it even more important.
Yep.....I was thinking the very same.
These kinds of technologies end up being like radar guns for cops. First someone invents the radar gun. Then the radar detector. Then better radar. THen better detectors. Then instant on radar. THen...
They will never be king of the hill forever.
Iron Sights.
I'd think some type of polarized filter over the objective lens would defeat this pretty easily.
Not for something like crime-prevention, no. But for having the potential to rebel against a tyrannical government, yes. And whatever you say about every measure having a countermeasure, the government is always going to be way ahead of the curve compared to your average joe....
There are millions of armed citizens in my state of Michigan alone. There are probably similar numbers in the rest of the midwest states as well.
Since you are in the UK, you may not be aware of how heavily armed many parts of the US happen to be. Churchill said "We will fight them in the hills, in the fields, and on the landing grounds". I suspect that the UK no longer has a serious ability to do that. The US can.
Do they have gear capable of taking down helicopter gunships, fighter-bombers and tanks, or just small arms?
The government also has technology that can detect the trajectory of home-made mortars and is getting better at detecting IEDs, and now detecting snipers before they can even fire a shot.
As the insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, you can't hope to defeat a western military, the best you can hope to do is survive....
Also, huge numbers of our military would refuse to fight a war against their own citizens. I suspect that a lot of military equipment would fall under civilian control that way.
It really doesn't matter. It's just mental acrobatics at this point anyway.
You're spot on. The members of the army have to live here, too. An army that tried to brutally suppress the US populace would find that their communities would turn on them. The result would be very unpleasant.
Also, let's not kid ourselves -- if it really hits then fan, less than 100% of the US military will side with the tyrannical government. Robert E. Lee was offered command of Abraham Lincoln's army. Lee decided to fight for the other side. This pattern will repeat in some measure.
So, rebels in the US will have a 100 million man army, and some armored divisions, and some serious anti-aircraft capability, and some ...
wow. technology gets more cool. I thought those micro-radar devices that can tell you where a bullet came from was cool.
Robert E Lee did not grow up thinking of the US as his country he grew up loyal to his home state. I think at least 70% of soldiers will side with the one signing their paychecks, at the LEAST
Very true about Lee and his state-centered sense of patriotism. But how many members of the current US military do you think grew up loyal to a communist dictatorship with heavy Muslim sympathies? I suspect that rather less than 70% of the military would fight fellow Americans in order to prop up such tyranny.
I mean they will fight for government in any civil war
well, we can pray they will side with the right side
What the insugencies in Iraq and Afghanistan have shown, to anybody who cares to think about it, is that a few thousand motivated people can keep a large modern army tied up for years.
Solution: a bunch of old 35mm camera lenses, bottom of old coke bottles, etc. hung from wires at different places.
So you're relying on the fact that the soldiers who you've been blowing up and shooting at will want to join your side? That's a massive 'if', and if you're relying on them joining you and bringing their equipment with them, doesn't this make the second amendment a moot point?
Also, what makes you think that the entire citizenry would be on your side? Lets take the example of the War of Independence, which was also essentially a civil war between loyalists on the side of the government and the rebels.
The technology available at the time meant that a rebel force could equip itself to something approaching an equal standard to government forces, in the case of rifles, even better, and was capable of defeating a government force conventionally in the field in the right circumstances. Even then though, without French assistence, especially naval support, the rebels had next to no chance of actually being able to trap and destroy a government army and thus bring the war to an end.
This was less the case during the American civil war, but in that case, the rebels still put up a good fight before the superior equipment available to the Union told against them.
Nowadays though, the disparity is huge. It may have been feasible a couple of centuries ago for a citizen's militia to get some horses and cannons, but getting tanks and helicopters/jet fighters etc is just not feasible.
Sure, a rebel force may be able to inflict a few casualties like they are in Afghanistan, but the casualties are going to be a lot greater on your side, and as for any dreams of defeating a government army in the field and driving it away so you can storm Washington DC and overthrow the government, forget it. Not going to happen. Best you can hope for is to survive for a long time until everybody gets sick of fighting and the government is prepared to make a few token concessions to you to allow you to keep some of your pride intact as you surrender yourselves and go back to a peace were it is unlikely you will have achieved anything meaningful for your efforts...
"Does anyone else get the feeling that these technical innovations in counter-insurgency warfare make the second amendment even more irrelevent than it already is when it comes to protecting against the government?"
You obviously know nothing of the second or this device or sniper rifles. Just shut up and wear your chains quietly.
"Since you are in the UK"
Oh, sorry, I didn't know he was just a nancyboy whose sister is dating a camel jockey.
You really don't know what you're talking about.
They will just use foreign troops and significantly reduce the size of the US military should an internal rebellion become a threat. This is to prevent a coup attempt and/or mass desertion.
The first block lives in cities and survives in large part off government hand-outs. These people do not grow food, do not manufacture anything, cannot fix anything, in many cases cannot drive a car, and mostly do not own guns.
The second block lives outside cities, grows food, makes stuff, fixes stuff, owns a variety of vehicles, and often owns many weapons, some of considerable firepower.
The first thing to know is that the population in the first block begins to die off very quickly if the second block decides to stop sending them food and supplies. Riots in the cities will hasten this die-off. The second thing to realize is that a tyrannical government (like all governments) is supported by taxes levied against the producing class. Well, the producing class just stopped paying. The third thing to know is that the supporters of a tyrannical government are supporters largely because the government gives them goodies. Well, the goodies just stopped coming because the tax revenues just dried up. So support for the tyranny is on a constant downward slope.
There wouldnt be any real pitched battles. Theres no point to any sweeping envelopment by armored divisions. What are you going to envelop? The Midwest?? No. The war ends quickly because the government and its supporters cannot function without active, constant support from the producing class. Any gleanings that may provide subsistence to the tyrants can be interdicted through simple guerrilla tactics by any of about 100 million good old boys who like to have a little fun and watch things blow up.
In a backward country like Afghanistan, low-level fighting can go on for a long time because (usually) both sides have little, require little, and are willing to get by with whatever comes to hand. The US simply isn't like that. The government of the US is an extremely high-maintenance machine. Care and feeding of that beast requires huge resources. Disrupt the flow, push the government toward the status of a backward nation, and the only supporters left will have names like Kennedy and Clinton. Everyone else will have jumped ship.
Does anyone else get the feeling that these technical innovations in counter-insurgency warfare make the second amendment even more irrelevant than it already is when it comes to protecting against the government?
That's the kind of shooting that won WWII.
And some aircraft as well.
Load up privately owned P-51s with its 6 or 8 Brownings.
They used .308 and 30.06 in WWII. Much different mindset before the M-16 was manufactured.
LOL! Good story shot down with a single link!
Moreover, a technological population has more potential weapons at its disposal than just the small arms its individuals have at hand. A simplistic example is the case of the West Virginia State Guard, back in the '80's. The unit, knowing itself to be part of the legal State Militia, believed that the laws permitted itself to obtain and maintain heavy weapons, and so they obtained 3 M24 light tanks and a 75mm mountain howitzer. All had been 'demilitarized,' but the State Guardsmen included machinists, who put them back in working order. They then secured these privately owned but State Militia dedicated ordinance items at State NG Armories. Where they were discovered by state and Federal officials, to their horror.
Said authorities, since the State Guardsmen had neglected to obtain anyone's authorization to reactivate these weapons, confiscated them. Now imagine that these had not been trusting and law-abiding citizens, but fed-up individuals feeling oppressed by the recurring petty tyrannies of a government aiming to bring them to a state of subjection and slavery.
You would think a Brit would know this lesson better than anyone. After all, the most advanced military machine in the world lost to a 3rd world non nation in the revolutionary war. The king even outlawed the sale of metal farm implements do to the fear that they would become weapons. We wore them down and drove them out despite british decrees ordering the release of slaves to create a ready made army.
Even sadder are Americans who think American soldiers will happily kill Americans for a paycheck. To me that shows a real lack of respect for our men and women in uniform.
Scopes are nice, but you shouldn't rely on them all of the time.
You would never have them in the quantities neccessary to turn the tide, and those that you did have would quickly be eliminated. Remember, the taliban used to have tanks and heavy artillery, thats gone now, because its impossible to utilise and conceal them against a western army...
Did you read what I said about the revolutionary war?
Nope. I've pretty much written you off at this point.
Thats one hell of a prejudicial assumption you're making that all the people on the government's side are going to be useless, city-dwelling, dole claiming incompetents. Fact is, there will always be a sizable chunk of the population that will take the view that you are terrorists and traitors and thus side with the government. That's how it worked out in the revolutionary war.
And by the way, during the American Civil War, there were plenty of US soldiers who were prepared to smite rebellious citizens fighting against a tyrannical federal government that was exceeding its remit and had introduced outrageous violations like the suspension of habeus corpus and conscription, which affected not just the south, but also the North. Particularly in New York City during the draft riots in 1863...
They used .308 and 30.06 in WWII. Much different mindset before the M-16 was manufactured.
Well, if you are not even prepared to engage with my argument, it doesn't say much about viability of your opinion does it? Oh well, your loss....
Even sadder are Americans who think American soldiers will happily kill Americans for a paycheck. To me that shows a real lack of respect for our men and women in uniform.
One of my neighbors is a cop. He's a good man and a great American.

Fans mark Lynott's anniversary
Published 05/01/2013 | 05:00
HE can still draw the crowds.
Cathal (13) and Muireann O'Gara (9), from Co Wexford, are far too young to ever have seen guitar legend Phil Lynott in the flesh – so instead they turned to his bronze statue off Dublin's Grafton Street.
Yesterday marked the 27th anniversary of the Thin Lizzy frontman's death and the life-size statue on Harry Street was the focus for many fans as they remembered their hero.
Last night, several hundred friends and fans gathered at the Button Factory in Temple Bar for the annual Vibe for Philo music event which commemorates the guitarist's death.
Lynott, who battled drug and alcohol addiction, was just 36 when he died in 1986.

So Spring break was the spring break from hell. Can't go into details but mostly it was extremely stressful. Luckily the one good thing about it was that I got a hold of Spore and Mass Effect, which I know I am a bit late on Mass Effect but it was definitely worth the pick up.
Spore stole me the morning I got it as per usual with any Sim game. I have only made it to the Tribal stage so far, but that was after just the first morning. I messed up the name of my creature thinking that I would be able to rename it later. My first was a dragonesque creature called spine cell. The second I began working on is an Omnivore though he turned out to be more herbivore by the end of the Creature phase. Overall the game is amazingly simple and complex at the same time. You have a buffet of parts to collect and customize your creature with as you evolve. and that's about it. You create your creature and progress along your planet. But within that it is very fun and the most fun to be had is through trying out different creatures as you go.
Mass Effect too was also very immersive. I was not a fan of KOTOR, and when I heard that another sci-fi game had been released with the same RPG elements but different battle system I was all eyes and ears. So far the game is extremely enjoyable. The art direction is similar to the remake of Lost in Space and fits the space exploration theme perfectly. The story line does well to engage you as it plays out you feel like you are in control of the main character in a space epic. The first mission throws you into the thick of things and sends you off on a series of missions on your way to good or evil as you decide your path through dialogue.
The dialogue system is a much improvement over games like KOTOR as a reticle appears you can select various degrees of speech to interogate and interact with NPC's. As your skills progress in Charm or Intimidate you can unlock other options depending on the path you choose to follow which alters NPC's views of you. The only gripe I have with this is that so far the overall story line seems to remain basically the same despite selecting different options, though I am only a few hours into the game on both sides.
The combat system is where the game really shines and blew me away. Expecting a basic system similar to that of Oblivion or Fallout 3, the games combat system rivals that of most FPS's. You start off with the ability to carry a basic pistol, assault rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, grenade launcher, and armor. All of which fold up nicely and attach to your suit. As you progress upgrades can be found for ammo and enhancements. depending on how you progress your character you can go either the frontline, stealth, a futuristic caster type, healer, or a combination of any mantioned which can affect how combat goes. As the game goes your are the commander of a top squad of space opperatives. As you engage the enemy you can give orders to your two teammates by hitting space or hitting one of the arrow keys. Through this you can have them attack, defend, rally to your position, or move to a position of your designation.The basic combat is as basic as any first person, but what highlights it is the ability to take cover, and do it effectively. By simply approaching a wall and holding that direction with a weapon out you can hug the wall, crouch near it, and pop back out for a quick shot or take steady aim at your opponents. Which is a must as the AI is adept at this and well make waste of you and your teammates if you don't.
Overall I'd give both games 9's. they have they're quirks but I'd suggest picking them both up. Spore is more family friendly of course while Mass Effect is geared more towards adults.
Thats about it for me.
later all

Coming Soon: The Neural Correlates of Procrastination

Deconstructing the most sensationalistic recent findings in Human Brain Imaging, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Psychopharmacology
Creating a neural lace is the thing that really matters for humanity to achieve symbiosis with machines— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 4, 2016
Neural Lace
The concept was first thought up by Iain M. Banks in his Culture novels. In these novels, a neural lace is a mesh-like device that would be implanted in a person directly through the bloodstream, controlling the release of certain neurons using the power of thought.
Musk's version of the neural lace doesn't work exactly like that. Musk's lace seems to be a mesh that would allow such AI to work symbiotically with the human brain. Signals will be picked up and transmitted wirelessly, but without any interference of natural neurological processes. Essentially, making it a digital brain upgrade. Imagine writing and sending texts just using your thoughts.
Scientists Just Invented the Neural Lace
A group of chemists and engineers who work with nanotechnology published a paper ... about an ultra-fine mesh that can merge into the brain to create what appears to be a seamless interface between machine and biological circuitry. Called "mesh electronics," the device is so thin and supple that it can be injected with a needle — they've already tested it on mice, who survived the implantation and are thriving. The researchers describe their device as "syringe-injectable electronics," and say it has a number of uses, including monitoring brain activity, delivering treatment for degenerative disorders like Parkinson's, and even enhancing brain capabilities.
Sitting on a chair, eyes closed, Lucier's brainwaves were recorded from his scalp, amplified and channelled to numerous loudspeakers scattered around the room. As the amplified alpha rhythm was below the human audible range, the loudspeakers were put 'right up against' various percussion instruments, which were then activated by means of vibration. While Lucier attempted to refrain from mental activity, percussion sounds slowly started to fill the room, which were suddenly disrupted when he opened his eyes, engaged in mental exercise, or when his attention was drawn towards sounds from the audience (Kahn, 2013).
By the end of the century, advances in EEG and sound technology ultimately gave rise to brain–computer music interfaces (BCMIs), a multidisciplinary achievement that has enhanced expressive abilities of both patients and artists (Miranda, 2014).
...neuroimaging studies of psychotherapy that have absolutely no control conditions are of limited usefulness. We don't know what sort of changes would have happened over an equivalent amount of time with no intervention. More importantly, we don't know whether the specific therapy under consideration is better than another form of psychotherapy, or better than going bowling once a week.
In this and our previous study, subjects frequently mentioned informally that PSFH results in a separation of the traumatic memory and associated feelings: while the memory remains intact, it no longer associates with traumatic feelings.
Here's our latest study on mediumship: "Prediction of Mortality Based on Facial Characteristics". Available here: https://t.co/jVMHmF07Dj— Dean Radin (@DeanRadin) May 21, 2016
"Participants were asked to press a button if they thought the person in a photo was living or deceased. Overall mean accuracy on this task was 53.8%, where 50% was expected by chance (p < 0.004, two-tail). Statistically significant accuracy was independently obtained in 5 of the 12 participants."
People can sense #Mortality after brief look at facial photo, & show related brain activity https://t.co/bukFvVUQ1f pic.twitter.com/fE2u6Zaf8E— Frontiers (@FrontiersIn) May 25, 2016
We do not rule out the hypothesis that subjects might have had access to information in ways that are not currently understood by modern physics and could potentially go beyond classical information delivered by facial features.
TauRx Alzheimer's Drug LMTX Fails in Large Study Although Some Benefit Seen
Wednesday, 27 Jul 2016 | 11:23 AM ET
TauRx Pharmaceuticals' experimental Alzheimer's drug LMTX failed to improve cognitive and functional skills in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, a large, late-stage study showed.
But in a perplexing twist, the drug did show a significant benefit in about 15 percent of patients in the trial who were not taking other standard Alzheimer's drugs, according to the findings released on Wednesday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Toronto.
lol this RCT actually had a negative result. Fascinating to compare UK vs US media coverage. https://t.co/z4hfC3DSB8 https://t.co/Jgk8wsleci— ben goldacre (@bengoldacre) July 27, 2016
TauRx Therapeutics Ltd today announced Phase 3 clinical trial results that show treatment with LMTX®, the company's novel tau aggregation inhibitor, had a marked beneficial effect on key measures of Alzheimer's disease in patients with mild or moderate forms of the disease.
While the TRx-237-015 study in 891 subjects failed to meet its co-primary endpoints, clinically meaningful and statistically significant reductions in the rate of disease progression were observed across three key measures in patients who were treated with LMTX® as their only Alzheimer's disease medication. These three key measures comprised a cognitive assessment (ADAS-Cog), a functional assessment (ADCS-ADL) and an assessment of the level of brain atrophy (lateral ventricular volume, LVV, as measured by MRI). An abstract of the results will be presented during an open session at the 2016 Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) in Toronto, Canada this afternoon by Dr. Serge Gauthier, CM, MD.
Gaultier et al., AAIC 2016LMTM (TRx-0237) is a novel stabilized reduced form of the methylthioninium moiety with potential for efficacy in treatment of Alzheimer's disease. ... It acts as a selective tau aggregation inhibitor in vitro and in transgenic mouse models The present 15-month double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (NCT01689246) was performed in patients with probable AD, MMSE score in the range 14-26, Clinical Dementia Rating 1-2 and age < 90 years. Patients were randomized 3:3:4 to receive oral LMTM at doses of 150 or 250 mg/day or placebo (containing 8 mg/day, to maintain blinding) respectively. Primary efficacy outcomes were change from baseline on cognitive (ADAS-Cog) and functional (ADCS-ADL) scores. Three-monthly assessment included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a disease modifying outcome. Other secondary outcomes included ADCS-CGIC and MMSE. Results: A total of 891 patients were randomized, of whom 62% were female. Approved AD treatments were being taken in 85%. The mean age was 70.6 (SD 9.0) years and baseline MMSE score was 18.7 (SD 3.4). ... The study efficacy and safety outcomes will be reported. The outcomes of this phase 3 trial will highlight the potential therapeutic value of tau aggregation inhibitor therapy in AD. A second phase 3 trial of LMTM for AD will be completed and reported later in 2016.
On the main primary results slide, disease progression curves for both doses of drug and the placebo were practically identical. Scientists' disappointment at this finding soon turned into disbelief when Gauthier went on to present a subgroup analysis that held no statistical credence yet purported to show a strong benefit on cognition and brain atrophy.

Lee Mars[edit]
Is he really a necessary inclusion? I don't think it's right to include a link on this widely-accessed template to a page that will in all likelihood never exist. I've never encountered anything on this guy except that he was 'fired' midway through the tour and nobody's heard from him since. BotleySmith 02:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
But hey, he toured witn the band for two years before Woolley came, maybe longer then Jeff Ward. Just write someting about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs)
- Redlinks should not be added to templates. Once Lee Mars has an article, then he can be linked on the template.
- It's not BotleySmith's, or anyone's, obligation to write an article for you. If you think there's enough information to write an encyclopedic article on Lee Mars, Wikipedia encourages you to contribute yourself. Laziness is no excuse, 22.214.171.124. -- Rynne 14:03, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Mars did NOT tour with the band for two years, he was probably around them for less time than Alex Carapetis (who actually has done some notable stuff outside of NIN). See the NIN:Live article. BotleySmith 21:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
3/29/2007 - I just worked with Lee Mars on an awards show. He was mixing the front of house sound and although he was nice enough, he didn't do that great of a job.
- hahahaha, that's awesome —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 02:43, 3 May 2007 (UTC).
Subcategories of Releases[edit]
- I propose splitting Major Releases in Discography up further into Major Studio Releases (5 of them), Remix Albums (3), and Live Releases (3). Are the numbers too few to warrant this?
- Option 30 and Exotic Birds are more of a Trent thing than a NIN thing. Do they really belong in this template?
- In order to avoid any confusion as to what the list of names represents, the 3 rows of musicians at the top could be labelled Frontman: Trent Reznor, Current Lineup: Aaron, Jeordie, etc, and Past Live Band Members: Richard Patrick, Jeff Ward, etc. Pomte 05:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with you on all counts. How should it be formatted, though? BotleySmith 06:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- Like how it is now.. or else I don't know what you mean. Botley from ETS, right? I lurk there too often. Pomte 07:10, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know about a three-way split of Studio/Remix/Live albums, but I think that a "Studio Albums" (5) and "Remix and Live Albums" (6) would be large enough categories. I also like specifying the current and past live band members, but I don't think Reznor needs a clarifying label. Finally, I think Option 30 and Exotic Birds are fine as related links--I expect most people would be looking for them in relation to Reznor/NIN and having them on the NIN template seems imtuitive to me. -- Rynne 19:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I just stumbled onto an article for Pigface. What caught my was that Trent Reznor was an early member, and that he rewrote "Suck" from the Pigface version. I think it might be relevant in the template, particularly in the Related Articles section. Any opinions?
--Drewcifer3000 04:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure Trent should be called a member (look how many "members" there are in the Pigface article). His answer in this interview (search "pigface") makes it sound like a one-day thing. NIN do play "Suck" at almost every show, but it's quite different than the Pigface version. Pomte 04:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Pomte, it isn't relevant enough include on the NIN template. Trent *was* a member of Pigface (there's videos of him performing "Suck" with them on tour), but it's too brief of an involvement and too far outside the sphere of NIN to be put on the template. The links on the Trent Reznor article are adequate enough links to Pigface. -- rynne 04:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
The Limitless Potential[edit]
The Limitless Potential was added to related articles, and then reverted because NIN doesn't have involvement. But isn't the fact that it's a compilation of NIN remixes based on garageband files etc. released by Reznor notable enough for it's inclusion? Thoughts? -- Reaper X 23:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - Duh, I'm the one who's been reverting them. Here's my rationale for removing. NIN is not directly involved in this project. All the other related articles feature direct contribution or involvement of NIN/Reznor. He created Purest Feeling, the Broken movie, and the Year Zero ARG. He founded Nothing Records. He was a member of Option 30, Exotic Birds, and Tapeworm. Although he released the remix files, he (or NIN) is not directly involved in the creation of the site or any content on The Limitless Potential. It is entirely fan-owned and fan-created. Works based on material originally by Nine Inch Nails. If that's the criteria for inclusion in the Related Articles section, then why not ninremixes.com? Why not The String Quartet Tribute to Nine Inch Nails? How about Johnny Cash? The line needs to be drawn somewhere. -- Tabanger 07:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose I agree with everything Tabanger said above. Not because the Limitless Potential isn't notable or worthy of inclusion, but we've gotta draw the line somewhere. Include Limitless Potential, and we've gotta include the String Quarter tribute, Johnny Case, Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Saul Williams, Le Pig etc, etc, etc. Better to just avoid the slippery slope altogether. Drewcifer 11:33, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- Just a note -- I think it's kind of interesting that The Limitless Potential has been reviewed on The Onion AV Club as well as Metro (in the UK). However, Drewcifer makes a very good point: It is a slippery slope, with a lot of garbage at the bottom :p Leviathant (talk) 03:21, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Err, never mind. Can you tell I got here via Google, and didn't realize I was in the comments of the template, rather than the main article? Durr. TLP definitely doesn't belong here. Leviathant (talk) 03:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I noticed the band "The Innocent" is also one of Trent Reznor's past bands, one he was in after Option 30 and before Exotic Birds, so I've added this to Related Articles, between Option 30 and Exotic Birds. I've alos added "Lucky Pierre", a project Reznor worked as a member with in 1988. Feel free to edit or delete what I put if you don't feel it's right. -- 16:23, 23 November 23 2007 (UTC)
Current live band members[edit]
I've placed Alessandro Cortini and Josh Freese back as current live band members based on information on the ninofficial YouTube channel, where Cortini and Fresse are listed along with Reznor as band members. The last login date to that page was one day before this edit (i.e., on March 29, 2008), making this the most up-to-date verifiable source for current live band membership. -- 188.8.131.52 (talk) 14:33, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Current and past live members[edit]
I just retooled the template so current and past live members have their own group listings. I hope no one objects but I really didn't like the way it was before. The spacing seemed... clunky. Naufana : talk 02:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Marilyn Manson[edit]
Why isn't Marilyn Manson under related bands? Last time I checked Reznor and Him had some history. I'm adding it. --KMFDM Fan (talk) 00:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Related Bands?[edit]
Why have so many bands been added to Related Bands? If bands such as modwheelmood are to be added (which comes under the category of 'bands featuring past NIN live members') then there are many others that should also be there, such as Tweaker, nearLY, Blindoldfreak, Jubilee etc and while you're at it why not Guns 'n' Roses, A Perfect Circle and DEVO? Personally I think the list should be shortened possibly to just bands Trent Reznor has featured in. Maybe Marilyn Manson and Saul Williams too. Not sure about those two though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 00:01, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- I think APC should be added. Unlike any other band mentioned above, it had three NIN members as its members at some point. I think it's worth something, even if none of these members was Trent. Objections? -NineInchRuiner (talk) 08:54, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
why red?[edit]
what's the reason for the template to be red? Rockk3r Spit it Out! 07:30, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry. I was experimenting. And forgot to revert. The Most Angry Pissed off Gaming Nerd 20:55, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Notable songs?[edit]
The section currently lists only two songs, neither of which were singles. What exactly defines notability in this context?Sheepdean (talk) 14:20, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
I'm removing Still from "studio albums and EPs" section. First of all, nobody releases valid studio albums (SA) as "companion", "secret", "bonus" CDs to live albums. Secondly, only +/- half of it is composed of actual new material, the rest being reworks of previously released songs. Finally, no reliable sources say that it is a SA, for example "With Teeth" is always said to be NIN's fourth, "Hesitation Marks" eigth etc. - obviously nobody counts "Still" as a SA. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 14:02, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Man accused of assault, restraint
WATERFORD Vermont State Police say a Waterford man sexually assaulted a woman at his residence and then refused to let her leave while he was holding a gun Monday afternoon.
Steven C. Cross, 25, assaulted the 20-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, when she came over to pick up clothes, according to state police.
State police say the woman did eventually leave and called state police who arrived and found Cross holding a .50-caliber muzzle loader with the primer in place and safety off.
State police say Cross was eventually arrested and cited for aggravated sexual assault and first-degree unlawful restraint.
He was scheduled to appear in Caledonia County criminal court Tuesday to answer the charges.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The League of Women Voters of Vermont will be taking part in National Voter...

London - David Beckham says he is mulling over "some quite exciting options" as he seeks the final challenge of his career.
However, the ex-England captain says a return to his home country is unlikely because "I can't see myself playing for any other Premier League club" than former team Manchester United.
Beckham, speaking in Los Angeles, told British broadcaster Sky Sports: "I'm lucky - at the age of 37, I've been offered some quite exciting options and there are a few options on the table."
He didn't specify which clubs had approached him.
Beckham, who is leaving the Los Angeles Galaxy after Saturday's MLS Cup final, has been linked with possible moves to Australia's A-League or Paris Saint-Germain.
"Retirement hasn't come into my head yet," he said.

The 1960s may have been defined by its soundtrack of Beatles, Stones, and Kinks, but it was those that produced images of these – and other – stars of the who held the key to their success.
Terry O'Neill, along with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, was that very '60s animal, the celebrity photographer. As pop music exploded, so printed media needed young, savvy snappers to capture the equally youthful stars who were elbowing the long established celebrities out of the way. O'Neill fitted the bill perfectly.
Like Bailey and Donovan, O'Neill was from an ordinary background (working class people simply didn't do jobs like his before the '60s), a Londoner with a love of jazz absolutely in tune with what was starting to ferment in the capital's clubs. A lucky break and plenty of hard work led him on a path that would lead to him photographing, not just domestic celebrities, but Hollywood stars like Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood, Brigitte Bardot, and perhaps most famously, Frank Sinatra, who O'Neill developed a strong friendship with over 30 years. To be photographed by Terry O'Neill was to become an icon.
Described by Michael Caine as "one of the best photographers in the world", it's fitting then that O'Neill's work has finally been documented in one volume, which showcases his reportage-influenced portraits of everyone from Muhammad Ali to Amy Winehouse to his stunning photo the Queen. It reads less like a photography book and more like a retrospective of the pop culture age.
Here, in an exclusive interview, he tells Christopher Ward about leading a very charmed life in pictures.
Hi Terry. Growing up, were you one of those kids who liked taking photos?
No, I never took pictures, I got forced into it. I was a jazz drummer and wanted to play in America, so I went to BOAC [the forerunner of British Airways] in 1960 as they'd starting flying to America, and applied for a job as an air steward. They weren't taking anybody on for three months, but if I took a post there I'd stand a better chance of getting a steward's job. So I got a job in the photographic unit and learnt how to the trade. We used to photograph the inside of aircrafts or went up to take photos of planes in flight. As I was just an assistant, for homework they got me to take pictures around Heathrow at weekends – and that's where I accidently took a shot of a bloke in pin-stripe suit surrounded by African chieftains.
That photo changed your life…
A reporter came up to me and said, "Do you know who that is?". I said no, and he told me it was [the politician] Rab Butler, and asked if he could have my roll of film to show the picture editor at his newspaper. I gave him it, and rang up this guy who was the picture editor of the Sunday Dispatch. He told me he loved all the shots and was going to use the Butler picture, for which he paid me 25 quid. He said he wanted me to cover the airport for him every Saturday. I told him that I didn't really know what I was doing and he said, "Just do what you've been doing on that roll of film." That was the start of my career.
I met up with another guy who I worked with for a while, then he died in a plane crash, so I got his job on the Daily Sketch. I still didn't really know what I was doing! When I was there, the paper said they wanted to attract younger people by doing pop groups – in those days it was all individual singers, a pop group was unheard of. They said, go down to Abbey Road and cover this group, The Beatles. I took this amateurish shot of them. The paper published it and sold out. Suddenly, everyone was tuned into the '60s.
And it wasn't just the Beatles, who you covered, was it?
They said, who else is any good? I loved the blues, so I told them the best group was The Rolling Stones. They were horrified with them, and said, "Can't you get a good- looking group?" So I told them about the Dave Clarke Five, though only one of them could play anything. They said it didn't matter, go and photograph them. And they ran the photos under the headline of "Beauty and the Beast". That was first picture spread of a pop group in a newspaper.
What did it feel like to be in the eye of that pop culture storm?
We all used to go to a place called the Ad Lib club – me, The Beatles, the Stones and all the models. We used to talk about what proper job we'd get when it was all over in a couple of years. It was only when I went to Hollywood a couple of years later and met Fred Astaire, and all he wanted to do was talk about the Beatles, Stones and Jean Shrimpton, did I realise that it must be for real if someone like him wanted to talk about it.
What was Hollywood like then?
That was around 1964-'65 – I loved it. It was like the south of France. I got on great with all the movie stars as they were used to posing with 5x4 cameras and I0x8 cameras, they'd never met someone with a 35mm one. I got paid by the film companies to work on films for two weeks – photographing people like Paul Newman working, not working, hanging around. I often feel God was looking down, pointed his finger and the light shone on me.
You famously took a snap of Raquel Welch in the Chelsea strip…
Yeah, I got her in Peter Osgood's outfit. She was great and loved Chelsea. They were all great. Obviously, if you're with people too long you'll see a bad side, nobody's perfect, but I was around Sinatra 30 years and he was fantastic. I never overstepped the line. There was a time when I could be the one out drinking with him, but I didn't want all that.
What pictures are you most proud of?
Brigitte Bardot with the wind blowing in her hair, Sinatra on the boardwalk, Paul Newman. Audrey Hepburn, she was fantastic, too. My only regret is that I didn't work harder. When I tell people that, they laugh. But I could have worked harder.
What did you have that made you so in-demand?
I have no idea. I still don't know. I was young and hard-working, quietly spoken. Never pushy.
Out of everyone, who was the most amazing to be with?
Frank Sinatra. When he was in town, the whole town revolved around him. He had an incredible personality, very strong natured. He lived up to it. He wasn't loud though… a very cool guy.
Who are you snapping now?
I don't take many pictures now, I did photograph Pelé as he's the face of the World Cup. There's not many people I want to photograph any more – I've done everybody who's anybody.
It's been good to you, this job. Are you happy?
I am happy. Really happy with my life, I don't worry about anything. I've had cancer, I've had heart problems, but I just keep pressing on.

Team Martinez: Canelo, Chavez and Then Mayweather?
By Osiris Mendez Cruz
According to Pablo Sarmiento, trainer of WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (50-2-2, 28KOs), the first target on their list could be WBC 154-pound champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
Sarmiento says Martinez. 37-years-old, has a few years left in his career and could easily have at least two fights per year.
Martinez is recovering from a knee injury and he could return in April or May of 2013. Sarmiento would like to have his fighter face Canelo, then a rematch with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and then a pursued meeting with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"Possibly in the first half of 2013 we will have a fight in the United States against a designated opponent......perhaps Canelo Alvarez. And then in November, a rematch with Chavez. The next time Sergio will win by knockout or give him a beating worse than the one he gave him now. And then hopefully we'll have the fight with Floyd Mayweather. He is the toughest opponent of them all, but we have faith [in our ability to win]. We always want the best," Sarmiento said.

Godfrey & Kahn adopted a Green Office Policy in November 2007. Our firm now engages in eco-conscious activities which include purchasing only Energy Star technology, setting all displays to go to sleep when inactive, eliminating paper for internal communication, converting to a paperless filing system, using bike messengers for downtown package deliveries and offering transportation subsidies to employees who use the bus or carpool.
In an effort to strengthen our ongoing commitment to environmentally conscious growth and expand green initiatives already in place, we established the Green@Godfrey Committee in 2009.
The Green@Godfrey Committee operates as a resource and advocate of environmental sustainability at Godfrey & Kahn. We facilitate the suggestion, consideration and practical implementation of green ideas and environmental volunteer efforts, recognizing the firm's need to provide high-quality legal advice and services in a cost-effective manner.
The mission of the Green@Godfrey Committee is to improve the quality of life for this and future generations and to help Godfrey & Kahn demonstrate its concerns, like those of our clients, about the environmental consequences of our business.
Led by John Clancy, shareholder and leader of our Environmental & Energy Strategies Practice Group, the committee is made up of members of our Management Committee, information technology, human resources, library information and records and marketing departments, as well as attorneys from our Real Estate, Environmental & Energy Strategies and Litigation Practice Groups.
We have assembled a team that can both drive our firm's environmental consciousness forward and use its members' collective innovation and institutional knowledge to ensure that our committee accomplishes its goals.

Globalization and Global Warming
New Report Reveals Link between Trade Policies, Climate
Richmond, VA: A new report released today by the Sierra Club highlights how current U.S. trade policies contribute to global warming and work against the best efforts of countries around the world to reduce global warming emissions. The report also lays out the steps the U.S. must take to revise its trade model to effectively combat global warming.
"Unfortunately, our flawed trade model is making global warming worse at a time when we should be instead leading the world in solving this problem," said Margrete Strand Rangnes, director of the Sierra Club's responsible trade program. "It's time for the U.S. to step up and lead the move to a clean energy economy. We can't do that without changing our current trade rules."
Though often overlooked, irresponsible trade practices contribute dramatically to global warming— increasing the volumes and distances of goods shipped, enabling rapid deforestation, and thwarting environmentally friendly production requirements. Deforestation alone, much of it driven by the trade of illegally logged timber, now accounts for one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Stern report on the economics of climate change, which documents the impacts and costs of global warming.
The report takes an in-depth look at the dampening effect the World Trade Organization (WTO) has had on previous environmental efforts and lays out the requirements for creating an effective climate policy. The full report can be found at www.sierraclub.org/trade.
Key Recommendations from the report include:
- New Model for Trade: All new trade agreements must include meaningful and binding labor and environmental provisions. A clear commitment by all WTO member countries must be made to ensure that trade rules cannot challenge or overturn climate measures. Governments must be granted the freedom to implement climate protections without fear of reprisal, and the WTO's practices of disregarding environmental considerations must come to an end.
- Create New Jobs: Slowing climate change presents a unique opportunity to create good jobs. To take advantage of this opportunity, climate policies must include measures aimed at preventing polluting companies from relocating to areas with weak or non-existent climate regulations.
- End Deforestation and Illegal Logging: The U.S. is one of the largest markets for timber products. Preventing illegally harvested timber and timber products from entering our markets can dramatically reduce deforestation.
"The US has a global responsibility to curb its global warming emissions," said Strand Rangnes. "But we will not have accomplished much if companies simply relocate to countries without global warming regulations. Unlike our badly designed trade policies, our climate policies must be thoughtfully designed to effectively fight global warming, while boosting the economy and creating jobs here at home."

The only thing that causes inflation is printing more money.
Increased demand causes a spike in price for that item, that is not inflation. True inflation is a sustained increase in many items and is long term.
"I made a post two weeks ago in which I explained that the popular view of inflation (wherein it is caused by money growth) depends critically on assumptions that do not hold in the real world. Money comes into existence when someone adds it to her portfolio of assets. This occurs either when she borrows money (which creates new cash from reserves) or sells securities to the Federal Reserve (which injects new cash into the system). Neither of these scenarios allows the central bank to increase the supply of money beyond demand, the story told by those in the money growth == inflation camp. Instead, inflation happens first. This then means that agents need more cash for transactions, leading them to borrow more or sell government securities to the Fed. Thus, the money growth accompanies inflation, but it does not cause it. The original post can be found here:"
Forbes "what actually causes inflation"
I know if "feels" good to hold the simple minded view but it is still wrong.
Absolutely. Some of these posters must not know how to use a dictionary:
Economics . Inflation: a persistent, substantial rise in the general level of prices related to an increase in the volume of money and resulting in the loss of value of currency ( opposed to deflation ).
actually some of us THINK instead of drinking whatever kool aid is served to us.
Give it a try.

Screw Myst! One of the all-time great horror games – the haunted-house classic The 7th Guest – has just been resurrected in a new port for the iPhone and iPad, and it's every bit as creepy as it was back in the day. Ain't nostalgia great?
For the uninitiated, The 7th Guest was the game that put the PC on the map nearly 20 years ago(!) with its moody visuals, killer soundtrack, and use of full-motion video in an age where people were still monkeying around with their old Nintendo cartridges. This re-release also marks the grand return of developer Trilobyte, and producer Rob Landeros already has the sequel, The 11th Hour, tapped for re-release this summer … along with plans for a possible prequel and final installment with the 7th Guest III!
In addition, Dread Central received this exclusive audio greeting from 7th Guest's resident villain – evil toymaker extraordinaire Henry Stauf!
The game currently runs $2.99 for iPhone or $5.99 for iPad – a long way from its original $79.99 price. Both versions kick a substantial amount of ass, but the iPad port is the big must-play mobile title of the year. So go visit iTunes and get your haunt on right now!
Here's hoping this release is successful enough to start a new trend in old-school gaming. I could really go for Gabriel Knight or Day of the Tentacle on my iPad. You hear that, developers?!?
From the Press Release:
Trilobyte Games, LLC today announced that iOS versions of blockbuster, classic game The 7th Guest are now available through Apple's iTunes App Store. Combining mystery, horror and monstrous puzzles, the game resurrects Old Man Stauf, one of the most memorable characters in gaming history.
Priced at $2.99 for the iPhone and iPod Touch and $5.99 for iPad, the engaging puzzle game with decidedly original graphics sold for $79.95 when it was introduced to critical acclaim in 1993 as the first computer game to feature full-motion video and one of the first two titles released on CD-ROM. Approximately 2 million copies were sold in short-order, prompting Bill Gates to call the game: "The new standard in electronic entertainment."
"This represents the successful conclusion of our development and porting effort," said Rob Landeros, co-founder of Trilobyte and Trilobyte Games, LLC and art director/designer on all projects. "The port has been seamless, and our team has optimized the code for a full-range of mobile devices. The game plays better than ever," he added.
Trilobyte Games – Titles in the queue:
Following the introduction of The 7th Guest, the company will develop a number of additional, puzzle-based game apps and a re-engineered version of 7th Guest sequel The 11th Hour. In addition to these well-known classics, Trilobyte Games is developing mobile platform versions of previously released games, as well as interactive movies POV and TLC – first released by Landeros and Aftermath Media.
"We'll be working on entirely new titles as well," said Landeros. "The overwhelming positive response to our return proves The 7th Guest is a strong, well-known brand; and the team is looking at a prequel, and a final installment in the series: The 7th Guest III."
In the 90s, The 7th Guest won the following awards:
Trilobyte Games, LLC, is an Oregon corporation headquartered in Medford. Check out Trilobyte's Facebook page and the the official 7th Guest fan page for more.
The company was recently re-organized to bring existing and new gaming titles to mobile platforms including Apple's iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
Joining original Trilobyte co-founder Rob Landeros are John Fricker, chief technology officer, and Charlie McHenry, chief operating officer.

A former Oklahoma police officer accused of kidnapping a teen girl from Turlock and taking her to a Vegas hotel has entered a not guilty plea to felony kidnapping and sexual seduction charges.
Department 8 in Stanislaus County Superior Court was abuzz with action as a capacity crowd was on hand to witness the arraignment of five defendants newly charged with the murder of 26-year-old Turlock resident Korey Kauffman, but all went silent when the first sound of shackles echoed out through the doorway.
The Turlock Police Department's Narcotics Enforcement Team took into custody six people Tuesday morning in an investigation into ongoing drug sales out of a home on Angelus Street.
A Winton man was struck and killed Sunday night on Highway 99 in Turlock when he got out of a vehicle that had become disabled in the middle of the freeway.
When Korey Kauffman disappeared in 2012 there was little attention devoted to the case of the missing 26-year-old Turlock man who made his living by stealing and scrapping metal. But the arrest of his suspected killers on Friday morning has sent shockwaves through the legal and law enforcement community that will likely reverberate for years, as investigators unraveled a conspiracy that involved a prominent defense attorney, three California Highway Patrol officers, and two well known business owners.
Defense attorney and one-time Stanislaus County district attorney candidate Frank Carson has been arrested for the murder of Turlock resident Korey Kauffman, according to the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department.
The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department is asking for the public's help in locating 26-year old Clarence Moore, who has been identified by detectives as a suspect in the homicide of 49-year old Louis Ramos of Modesto.
The investigation into a break in at a Turlock stereo store led to the identity and arrest of a man suspected of stealing several trailers over the last few months from Bonander Truck and Trailer.
The Turlock owner of a local trucking school has admitted to taking part in a scheme to obtain Class A commercial driver's licenses by bribing Department of Motor Vehicle employees to fraudulently enter false test results.
Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department will be out in force, cracking down on impaired drivers with DUI saturation patrols Saturday and Sunday.
A report of a verbal disturbance turned into a charge of aggravated assault for a Turlock man after he allegedly purposely hit a man with his car.
A 38-year-old man is facing felony molesting charges after propositioning a 13-year-old at a Turlock park.
A body found near the railroad tracks Saturday morning has been identified as a 21-year-old Turlock man.
Around 9:20 p.m. Friday night the Turlock Police Department received a string of calls to 911 in regards to a low-flying airplane spraying a mist over parts of the city.
The Turlock Police Department is investigating the death of a man who was found dead by the railroad tracks and is asking for the public's help in discovering his identity.
Page 22 of 138
The Turlock Police Department has taken a local man into custody on allegations he was trafficking in child pornography.
A Turlock man is prison bound after being found guilty of two felony driving under the influence charges.
Two men were arrested in Turlock on Thursday night on allegations they were impersonating police officers.
A man riding his bicycle early Saturday morning was shot by an unknown assailant in Turlock.
A Turlock man is facing several criminal charges after allegedly holding three people at gunpoint over an ongoing dispute.

Although the WB is damming up "Dawson's Creek" -- with a finale to the 6-year-old series airing Wednesday -- the network will keep wooing teenage girls and young women this fall, when it presents brooding, long-haired actor Travis Fimmel as the star of the new "Tarzan and Jane," from the makers of the movie "Spider-Man."
At a fall preview of its new shows, the WB (which, like PEOPLE, is part of AOL Time Warner) announced that the new series will shift the locale of the loin-clothed hero from the jungles of Africa to contemporary New York (which of course, has often been likened to a jungle).
Also on the WB roster will be "Fearless," a crime drama with film starlet Rachael Leigh Cook (1999's "She's All That") and the variety show "Steve Harvey's Big Time," produced by Madeleine Smithberg, who worked with David Letterman and Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," Reuters reports.
All told, the WB is unveiling six new shows as the network tries to strengthen its hold on younger viewers. For midseason, the network is planning an as-yet-untitled spin-off of the "Gilmore Girls" that will center on Milo Ventimiglia's character Jess Mariano, boyfriend of Rory Gilmore.
In other WB news, the hit "Smallville" will move to Wednesdays at 8 p.m., to lead into the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" spin-off "Angel." "Smallville" is currently on Tuesdays at 9.
