Action Alert: Tell Congress to Investigate the NSA Spying Program
Over five years since it first began, the NSA's massive domestic spying program remains shrouded in secrecy. Recently, the Bush Administration announced that it has let the shadowy FISA court review the program, but that's not enough -- the President must abide by the law and answer to the traditional court system, Congress, and the American public. Use our Action Center to demand immediate Congressional investigations.
Three federal courts have already rejected the government's bogus arguments and allowed cases to go forward regarding the secret surveillance. With its back against the wall, the Administration has finally conceded that judicial review should be involved at some level.
That's welcome news, but the President is still trying to dodge meaningful oversight. While claiming that the secret FISA court orders legalize the program, the Administration has refused to let anyone else see the orders and confirm key details about what they permit. EFF is skeptical that they actually satisfy the strict requirements of current statutes or the Fourth Amendment, considering the broad program of dragnet surveillance alleged in our case against AT&T for its role in the program.
Congress must do its job and help uncover the truth about the program. Take action now to protect the checks and balances that define our democracy.

How to set up an email account in iPad / iPhone
Before You Start
- You need to know the name of the Precedence server your email is hosted on (e.g. cp##.cp.pre.net.au ), email address (e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com) and email account password. (## is the number of the server your account is stored on.)
- Your iPhone/iPad needs to have a data plan with your telephone carrier (or, be connected via WiFi) and be able to access the internet - test this first by opening a web page
- If you are also checking this email account from another computer, that computer should be configured to "Leave emails on server", otherwise your iPhone/iPad will only show emails that haven't yet been downloaded by your other computer.
Adding An Email Account
- Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
- Under Accounts, tap "Add Account..."
- Tap "Other" then "Add Mail Account"
- Enter New Account information:
- Name: Your name as you want it to appear when somebody receives an email from you
- Address: Enter your full email address
- Password: Enter your email account password
- Description: Enter a descriptive name for this account, such as your email address
- Tap "Next"
- Next, for the server type, tap "POP" (you can use IMAP with incoming port set to 993 in a later step)
- Enter Incoming Mail Server details:
- Host Name: Enter cp##.cp.pre.net.au
- User Name: Enter your full email address
- Password: This should already be filled out with the one you entered earlier
- Enter Outgoing Mail Server details:
- Some find it easiest to use their telephone carrier's Outgoing Mail Server. For Telstra customers, just set the Host Name to mail.bigpond.com, tap "Next", and you should be finished.
- Alternatively, you can send email through our email server, but this is a bit tricker to configure:
- Enter the same Outgoing Mail Server/SMTP details as you did for Incoming Mail Server, including the password.
- Tap "Next" / "Save"
- "Cannot Verify Server Identity" may display on the screen - tap "Continue"
- Tap "Next" / "Save"
- You may receive an error "account verification failed" and a warning that the account may "not be able to send or receive emails" tap "Next" again
- In the mail settings, tap back into the account you just created, scroll down to the Outgoing Mail Server section, and tap "SMTP"
Select the host name you previously entered (cp##.cp.pre.net.au), and:
- Set it to "On"
- Set Use SSL to "on" (if it isn't already)
- Authentication should say "Password"
- Set the Server Port to 465 (instead of 25)
- Tap "Done"
- Note: If you ever change your Outgoing Mail Server back to your telephone carrier's server, you may need to change the Server Port back to 25 however we recommend you call them for their instructions about how to send email through their server/s.
On the home screen, tap "Mail" to view your email.

U.N. Says Iraq Was Moving Toward More Potent Bombs
By WILLIAM J. BROAD
Published: October 15, 1991
Iraq's efforts to build a hydrogen bomb, described last week by the United Nations, were further along than generally believed and would also have sharply increased the destructiveness of its atomic bombs, according to weapons experts and United Nations documents.
Because hydrogen bombs can be hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than atomic bombs and vastly more destructive, some analysts expressed alarm about the recent disclosures. America's first hydrogen bomb, exploded in 1952, was about 700 times more forceful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in August 1945.
Overall, the Iraqi bomb program was more ambitious, advanced and deadly than had previously been suspected, analysts said. A top former intelligence official said its enterprising nature and vast scale showed that the West's intelligence failure had been extensive. Longer Work Was Seen
Before the Persian Gulf war, intelligence experts knew of Iraqi efforts to build an atomic bomb but made no mention of a hydrogen bomb program. Even those experts who rated Iraq's progress most highly assumed that it needed at least 2 years to begin production of crude warheads, while most others said it would take 5 to 10 years.
But from the evidence gathered by United Nations inspectors, it is now believed that Iraq could have been making atomic bombs in as little as a year.
Worse, Baghdad was apparently engaged in a broad effort to go down the thermonuclear road, producing not only hydrogen-bomb materials like lithium 6 but also computer software to predict the likelihood of thermonuclear reactions. In addition, it is now known that Iraq had acquired another key ingredient needed to unleash the latent thermonuclear forces of the atom. This is heavy water, or deuterium oxide, which United Nations officials say Iraq imported years ago. Fusion Process
Deuterium is a heavy form of hydrogen. When heavy water is mixed with lithium 6, the product is lithium 6 deuteride. This compound is the main component of hydrogen bombs. It undergoes nuclear fusion to give the bombs their fearsome power.
Iraq would have probably needed several years to produce a hydrogen bomb, weapons scientists said. They noted that a prerequisite for any hydrogen bomb is an atomic bomb whose extraordinary heat acts as a trigger.
But the weapons scientists added that Iraq's thermonuclear ambitions were also more immediate. Baghdad, they said, would have used small quantities of hydrogen-bomb fuel to triple or quadruple the explosive force of any atomic bomb.
Such "boosting," as it is known, is fairly easy to do. When lithium 6 is bombarded by subatomic neutrons in a nuclear reactor, a form of heavy hydrogen called tritium is produced. This is then added to the core of an atomic bomb, along with deuterium from heavy water.
Experts say this deuterium-tritium mixture can sharply improve the efficiency and resulting force of a chain reaction, transforming a crude atomic bomb into a weapon small enough and powerful enough to be suitable for delivery atop a missile.
United Nations officials have already disclosed that Iraq tested a surface-to-surface missile able to carry an atomic bomb as part of its program to develop nuclear weapons.
The explosive power of hydrogen bombs has no theoretical limit. And, weapons experts say, big ones are easier to build than small ones, conjuring up visions of Saddam Hussein with an arsenal of great power.
"It's really astonishing," said Dr. Theodore B. Taylor, a former designer of nuclear arms at the weapons laboratory at Los Alamos, N.M., the birthplace of the atomic and hydrogen bombs. "This shores up the idea that they had a very ambitious and extensive weapons program." Scientist Expresses Fear
Leonard S. Spector, an expert on the spread of nuclear arms at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, called the whole episode alarming.
"Iraq clearly anticipated having a very big program that could graduate to hydrogen bombs," he said in an interview. "The Iraqi work wasn't sequential, as has been the case in lots of other places. They were doing everything in parallel."
United Nations officials had previously said that the International Atomic Energy Agency, a specialized agency based in Vienna, was trying to track down hundreds of pounds of heavy water that Iraq imported years ago. As a sign of hydrogen-bomb work, heavy water is ambiguous since it also has uses in nuclear reactors.
But a week ago today, David Kay, chief of the agency's inspection team in Iraq, told reporters that several of the documents his team had seized indicated that Iraq had already produced several pounds of lithium 6 and that another document referred to a plan to make about 220 pounds a year. Lithium 6 has no significant use other than in bomb manufacturing. This amount of lithium 6, Mr. Kay said, was enough to "raise real concern about weapons production." Excess of Lithium 6
Several weapons experts, in interviews, said 220 pounds a year was probably more lithium 6 than was needed for simple boosting and suggested an intention by Baghdad to build hydrogen bombs.
For boosting, 220 pounds of lithium 6 could produce enough tritium for dozens to thousands of atomic bombs, depending on the power of the nuclear reactor used as a neutron source to turn it into tritium, Dr. Taylor said.
Experts estimate that the force of this hydrogen bomb would have beenequal to somewhere between a million and 10 million tons of high explosives, depending on the bomb's design. The atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima had a strength equivalent to 15,000 tons of high explosives. The hydrogen bombs now atop American MX missiles have a force equal to 300,000 tons.
Lithium, soft and silver-white, is the lightest known metal -- more abundant in the earth's crust than lead or tin. In nature, it occurs as a mixture of isotopes, with lithium 6 accounting for roughly 7 percent and lithium 7, roughly 93 percent of the deposits.
The aim in manufacturing weapons is to separate lithium 6 from that more prevalent isotope, a process that is said to be far easier than the separation of uranium isotopes. To make a hydrogen bomb, the lithium 6 is then combined with deuterium that has been freed from heavy water by electrolysis. According to the Nuclear Weapons Databook, published by Harper & Row, the resulting lithium 6 deuteride is then baked into a ceramic-like substance and machined into its final form.
Weapons consultants said the design of a boosted atomic bomb or a true hydrogen bomb would have required advanced computer simulations that were apparently under development in Iraq at Al Atheer, a weapons center 40 miles south of Baghdad.
An Iraqi document seized by the United Nations inspectors speaks of "two-dimensional hydrodynamic and neutronic models" being perfected there that "simulate the behavior of nuclear weapons as they are being fired."
Al Atheer, damaged only slightly by gulf war bombing, is now under scrutiny by spy satellites and U-2 planes, lest Baghdad remove evidence of its H-bomb project, according to an Associated Press report. The surveillance, The A.P. said last week, quoting anonymous officials, is particularly intended to catch Iraq if it tries to remove or bury lithium 6.
Diagram: "Seeking a More Destructive Bomb" Evidence shows Iraq worked on thermonuclear ractions used to boost A-bombs and make H-bombs. The key in both cases is fusing deuterium and tritium, which are heavy forms of hydrogen. Getting the Key Ingredients Deuterium is easily obtained from heavy water or deuterium oxide. With more difficulty, lithium 6, a silver-white metal, becomes tritium. Boosted Atomic Bomb: Reactor turns lithium 6 into tirtium; it is mixed with deuterium at A-bomb's core. Resulting neutron bursts speed chain reaction to make bomb more powerful. Hydorgen Bomb: Lithium 6 is mixed with deuterium. Showers of neutrons in exploding H-bombs turns lithium into tritium, which then fuses with deuterium, releasing huge burst of energy. Potentially Destroyed by Blast 2-mile diameter: 15-kiloton A-bomb (size dropped on Hiroshima; a kiloton is equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT) 3.2-mile diameter: 60-kiloton boosted A-bomb. 8-mile diameter: 1,000-kiloton H-bomb.

Enforcement Trends: What the EPA Numbers Show
The number of EPA civil enforcement case initiations and conclusions last year continued a downward trend seen since FY09, as the agency continued to pursue larger and more complex cases, according to newly released data.
The FY13 EPA Enforcement and Compliance Annual Results show that last year the agency initiated 2,418 civil judicial and administrative cases, and concluded 2,489 (see chart).
The EPA conducted nearly 18,000 inspections and evaluations last year, down from roughly 20,000 in FY12, with a tight budget motivating a focus on larger facilities.
In FY13, EPA enforcement actions required companies to reduce pollution by an estimated 1.3 billion pounds per year, down from about 2.2 billion in FY12. The agency says because it addresses the biggest pollution sources first, it expects this figure to decline over time. It also says that it is focusing increasingly on toxic pollution violations, cases which contribute smaller reductions in pounds, but still offer big health benefits.
Other EPA enforcement trends last year include:
- Administrative and civil judicial penalties collected soared on the back of the $1 billion settlement reached with Transocean over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
- Without that settlement, the EPA would have collected about $100 million – roughly half the FY12 level, and more in keeping with totals from FY09 and FY10.
- Similarly, criminal fines, restitution and court-ordered environmental projects skyrocketed to $4.5 billion, nearly all from the Deepwater Horizon case.
- Private party cleanup commitments under Superfund rose to $1.2 billion, well above FY12 levels but far below FY11.
- Injunctive relief fell slightly to about $7 billion. These totals vary widely from year to year, the EPA said.
- EPA enforcement actions resulted in more than $22 million in supplemental environmental projects. This figure is also quite variable from year to year.
- EPA enforcement actions required companies to commit to treat, minimize, or properly dispose of 148 million pounds of hazardous waste – down significantly from the past several years, but this year the agency plans to conclude several cases that will bring the total back up.
The agency has also published an online map showing the location of enforcement actions and cases in chemicals, cleanup, waste, water and air.
Takeaway: EPA enforcement data shows the agency continuing to prioritize fewer, bigger cases.

Détente, French for "thaw," refers to the lessening of tensions between NATO and the Warsaw Pact in the decade following the Cuban Missile Crisis. (The term also refers to better relationships between the U.S. and China over the same period.) Détente saw public progress toward nuclear arms control (SALT I treaty) and increased cooperation in trade and space exploration, but relationships remained strained over human rights and proxy wars, such as Vietnam, fought between the capitalist democracies and the communist bloc. Rising tensions between the USSR and China, including a 1969 border conflict, prompted both communist countries to improve relations with the West. Détente largely ended with the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, an event that contributed to the USSR's 1991 collapse.

Australians probably won't know who their next prime minister will be until tomorrow, with the federal independents continuing their deliberations in Canberra.
Labor is leading the race to form a minority government, holding 74 of the required 76 lower house seats.
That is one more than the coalition has managed to secure.
It's now up to the three rural independents to decide whether Prime Minister Julia Gillard stays in the top job, or Opposition Leader Tony Abbott takes over the reins.
Independent Tony Windsor said he and his colleagues Bob Katter and Rob Oakeshott wanted to meet with both leaders again today, before making their final decision on whom to back.
"My guess is that on the basis of all of that we'll make a determination probably tomorrow morning," he told ABC Radio.
But Mr Windsor wouldn't rule out a decision sooner.
"Anything can happen," he said.
Mr Windsor is hoping the trio all choose the same party, so a 75-all outcome - and an early election - can be avoided.
"I'd hope that we'd all vote in a similar fashion, but there is no guarantee of that at all," he said.
"People may be leaning one way, but they may have to come back the other way to get some stability into the system."
Mr Oakeshott said the three men had a "full spread" of political and policy views but were willing to put them aside to avoid a stalemate.
"The three of us have talked about that a lot," he told reporters outside Parliament House.
"There is a national interest issue in question about how we have a stable government over the next three years."
Mr Oakeshott wouldn't speculate on the outcome of fresh talks with Ms Gillard and Mr Abbott.
"We'll just see how today unfolds and see what sort of final offers are made by both parties," he said.
Meanwhile, Mr Katter revealed he recently lunched with Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's chief of staff, and Liberal senator Bill Heffernan.
But he warned that meeting should not be overemphasised, as he'd also been around to former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd's home twice lately.

|Peyton Manning is in complete control of the Broncos. (US Presswire)
DENVER -- It was early in the second quarter, as the Broncos trailed Tampa Bay by a field goal, and Peyton Manning had already seen enough.
The Broncos were struggling and a series of miscues and holding calls had apparently caused Manning to reach a boiling point. After one failed series, Manning called the entire offense over to a corner of the Denver bench, and for about two minutes, let the players know of his dissatisfaction. He wasn't screaming. He wasn't blaming. He was, in effect, coaching.
|More on Bucs-Broncos
|Related links
|More NFL coverage
Tampa Bay would lead 10-7 at halftime and in the third quarter the Broncos' offense continued to struggle. Manning again called the offense together and this time the conversation didn't look like he was asking the offensive line what they wanted for Christmas.
Whether it was Manning's speeches, or the fact that on this particular possession the Broncos were working with a short field, something clicked. Manning took the Broncos on a four-play, 52-yard drive that ended with a perfect throw to Demaryius Thomas for an 8-yard touchdown. Denver had a 14-10 lead and later Manning added another touchdown pass to Thomas for a 21-10 lead which later grew to 28-10 after a Josh Freeman pick-six. That was 21 unanswered third quarter points. Game over.
The Broncos' 31-23 win means they capture the AFC West and they did so mainly because of one person.
Sure, maybe it's politically incorrect and horribly cliché to say that Manning willed his way to this win, and to a division title. Oh, hell, who am I kidding: Manning willed his way to win this game, and a division title. In some ways, those two drives, prefaced by the Manning outbursts, are why the Broncos are among the scariest teams in football. Sure, Tim Tebow took Denver to the playoffs, but that was luck, like winning the lottery the same day a supermodel accepts your phone call.
Manning was 27 of 38 for 242 yards and three touchdowns. The Broncos are 9-3, winners of seven consecutive games, and despite making the playoffs and winning the division there was no massive celebration. That is also the Manning effect.
"Business as usual," said coach John Fox.
After the game, Manning was typically bland, and that's the way he likes it. You get the feeling Manning wants to somehow sneak these Broncos under the radar. Of course, with Manning in control, he couldn't sneak anywhere unless he possessed a cloaking device.
What Manning did was win this game and this year with skill, not a freak show, as the Broncos did last year. This is the kind of game -- obliterating a stubborn Tampa Bay team -- that further cements two things: Manning as comeback player of the year and John Elway as executive of the year for out-maneuvering other contenders aiming to get a rose from Manning.
Flash back quickly to this past spring when teams were jockeying for Manning. The prevailing belief was whichever team got him would be a playoff contender. Miami tried and its season was a failure (though the Dolphins have found a franchise thrower). San Francisco passed and its quarterback situation is, well, getting interesting. Tennessee tried and its year was a dumpster fire. So was Arizona's.
Imagine if the Dolphins, Titans or Cardinals had Manning. Don't pretend he wouldn't have made a huge difference for those franchises the same way he was for the Broncos.
Manning tossed his 29th touchdown this season, the most in team history, more than Elway's previous record of 27. He also this season passed Dan Marino for the second most completions in league history with only Brett Favre ahead of him.
He did all of this coming off of enough neck surgeries for six men. You can't marvel enough. The eyes can't pop out enough.
Manning still isn't perfect. There were some curiously bad throws and a horrific interception. Still, because of Manning, the Broncos might be the second scariest team in the conference now. They possess the offensive versatility of Houston but have more defensive playmakers. Denver still isn't as good as New England, but who knows, get a home game against the Patriots and anything could happen.
What this game, and this season, was about for Denver was Manning. The Broncos have won the division and now Manning wants much more.

Obscure? ... What are you implying, that my random number generator is full of fail?! DX
All the PotW are always so obscure... ;_;
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on alright
No, Phil is full of fail.
Happy easter everyone! Today's Johto, easter-esque PotW is... !
Spoiler Alert!TOGEPI!
Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokemon. It is considered to be a symbol of good luck. Its shell is said to be filled with happiness. A proverb claims that happiness will come to anyone who can make a sleeping Togepi stand up. As its energy, Togepi uses the positive emotions of compassion and pleasure exuded by people and Pokémon. This Pokémon stores up feelings of happiness inside its shell, then shares them with others. Its shell is said to be stuffed with happiness that it shares with kindhearted people.
Happy easter! The easter-themed PotW is ofcourse, Togepi, thanks to Neosquid for the idea! I'm pretty indifferent to Togepi, no matter how "cute" you might think it is. I'm honestly not one for baby pokemon; except Pichu. ;D
On a competitive basis, for even baby pokemon, Togepi is very lackluster. It's not strong, and it's movepool doesn't make up for that. It's evolution, Togetic, is just as useless. However, DPP blessed this nobody evolution line with Togekiss; a bulky yet strong attacker. With an amazing ability, great stat distribution, and a wonderful movepool, Togekiss is a force to be reckoned with. Thunderwave, Air Slash, and it's ability Serene Grace is known to be a defined n00b killer. In short, Togekiss is awesome. Now then, what's YOUR opinion on the toge' evolution line?
Happy Easter!
I like Togepi. Its quite a unique, yet in a way ordanary Pokemon. Me and my friends arnt huge fans of Togekiss, through. Togetic is cooler.
Togepi is awesome in Smash Bros, through. Metronome is so unpredictable.
Togepi isn't all that good in Brawl, IMO. Nightshade is really annoying, and it's other attacks aren't all that strong. The random factor is amusing though; as long as Nightshade doesn't happen.
Nightshade was much more annoying in Melee, though. You couldn't even see your character P1/P2/CPU/etc. ensignias, and the CPU automatically saw through it... cheap, lol.
Togepi is fine but Togekiss is where its at
Its Smokescreen. Well, at least I think it is, since Night Shade was a damaging attack. Heres Togepis moveset:

The Psychological Assessment of Political Leaders: With Profiles of Saddam Hussein and Bill Clintonby Post Jerrold M.
In an age when world affairs are powerfully driven by personality, politics require an understanding of what motivates political leaders such as Hussein, Bush, Blair, and bin Laden. Through exacting case studies and the careful sifting of evidence, Jerrold Post and his team of contributors lay out an effective system of at-a-distance evaluation. Observations from political psychology, psycholinguistics and a range of other disciplines join forces to produce comprehensive political and psychological profiles, and a deeper understanding of the volatile influences of personality on global affairs. Even in this age of free-flowing global information, capital, and people, sovereign states and boundaries remain the hallmark of the international order -- a fact which is especially clear from the events of September 11th and the War on Terrorism.

Long before Salma Hayek conquered Hollywood, Katy Jurado was one of Mexico's first successful crossover actresses. Jurado, who'd already established herself as a star in her native country in the 1940s, came to Hollywood and became a regular fixture in Western films of the 1950s and '60s. Born María Cristina Estela Marcela Jurado García, she became the first Latin American actress nominated for an Academy Award for her work as Native American princess Señora Devereaux in 1954's Broken Lance, and was the first Latin American actress to win a Golden Globe award.

Information processing is the change (processing) of information in any manner detectable by an observer. As such, it is a process which describes everything which happens (changes) in the universe, from the falling of a rock (a change in position) to the printing of a text file from a digital computer system. In the latter case, an information processor is changing the form of presentation of that text file. Information processing may more specifically be defined in terms used by Claude E. Shannon as the conversion of latent information into manifest information[citation needed]. Latent and manifest information is defined through the terms of equivocation (remaining uncertainty, what value the sender has actually chosen), dissipation (uncertainty of the sender what the receiver has actually received) and transformation (saved effort of questioning - equivocation minus dissipation)[citation needed].
Within the field of cognitive psychology, information processing is an approach to the goal of understanding human thinking. It arose in the 1940s and 1950s. The essence of the approach is to see cognition as being essentially computational in nature, with mind being the software and the brain being the hardware. The information processing approach in psychology is closely allied to cognitivism in psychology and functionalism in philosophy although the terms are not quite synonymous. Information processing may be sequential or parallel, either of which may be centralized or decentralized (distributed). The parallel distributed processing approach of the mid-1980s became popular under the name connectionism. In the early 1950s Friedrich Hayek was ahead of his time when he posited the idea of spontaneous order in the brain arising out of decentralized networks of simple units (neurons). However, Hayek is rarely cited in the literature of connectionism.
In the 1970s, Abraham Moles and Frieder Nake were among the first to establish and analyze links between information processing and aesthetics.

Season premiere review: 'Dexter' - 'Are You?': The whole truth?
What did everybody think of the Showtime drama's return?
By Alan Sepinwall @Sepinwall | Sunday, Sep 30, 2012 10:00 PM
I posted my review of the new season of "Dexter" yesterday. Now it's your turn. Given the unhappiness so many "Dexter" fans had with the last season (if not the last two, or even three of the last four), were you satisfied enough with how the show dealt with the Deb/Dexter cliffhanger to put those bad feelings aside? Or are you always going to feel skeptical about the show from here until the end? Is anyone done with the show now, and/or has anyone been roped back in after giving up, like I was? Have at it.
My Sunday plate's too full to put "Dexter" back into the rotation, but I'll definitely be back to discuss the season after the finale, and possibly once or twice in between if something notable happens.

Dezbot (guest)I think it looks promising, especially if that promise finally involves getting LaGuerta on Dex's table. Glad Deb figured it out in this one ep and that they didn't drag it out further. I'm also intrigued by Isaac, though I do want to yell, "Thirteen!" whenever I see him :-)September 30, 2012 at 10:50PM ESTReply to Comment
sepinwallWhat I particularly liked is that Deb got to spend the episode piecing together so much of what we know about Dexter. She may have stumbled onto the Colin Hanks kill as a total fluke, but here she got to take charge of things, use her brain and not let Dexter off the hook with the lie he told in the opening scene. A season or two ago, she'd have fallen for the lie and that would have been that.September 30, 2012 at 11:16PM EST
DezbotYes, I like that she figured it out using her detective skills, which have improved greatly over the seasons.
The other thing I'm interested in is finding out what Louis is up to (other than messing with Dexter because Dexter rejected his serial killer game). It's got to be more than that, right?October 1, 2012 at 12:18AM EST
LoopyChewI wouldn't be surprised if Lewis turned into a Big Bad further down the line. He's obviously extremely obsessed with serial killers, so it's only fitting he become one at some point.
And Batista's sister will be first on his list.October 1, 2012 at 3:11AM EST
DarkdougI particularly agree with the point about Deb getting to discover the whole truth on her own. It seemed like Season 5 set her up so she could actually accept the vigilante aspect of Dexter. First the Santa Muerte killings, where the killers were especially monstrous, and she made her first kill, and was okay with it, AND got shafted by both her boss and her protegee, giving her the potential to be disillusioned with the system. Then, as she investigated the Barrel Girls, and began empathizing with the vigilante couple she figured out was avenging the girls, her reaction to discovering Dexter & Lumen without seeing their faces was plausible. They got her in a place where the next step could reasonably be accepting Dexter's justifications, especially, since he could now reveal that she had let him & his accomplice escape.
It seems to me that the departure of Chip Johanssen to work on "Homeland" (the new Showtime flagship series, as far as I am concerned) negated the direction Deb & Dexter were heading in, and the new showrunner was too stupid to appreciate the setup to that point. So we get Deb implausibly promoted to Lt. where she'll be in a better position to punish him, the relationship with a shady cop that gave her some moral gray areas cleared out of the way so she could "realize she's in love with Dexter" and use THAT lame and sappy excuse for not turning him in.
This episode looks like they're going to dispose of the romance plot quietly, while restoring Deb's credibility as a detective, possibly paying homage to the stuff in the past, and even the part where she realizes from Jamie that he's been lying about his work hours all these years is a hint of how her new rank and position can complicate Dexter's life, rather than put her in a spot where she can hand-wave away threats from the law (a la, Danny Trejo on Sons of Anarchy).
Even better, while so far, Dexter's increasing development of his emotions and feelings through his relationships and psychological breakthroughs have only served to soften his harsh edges and make him more sympathetic, this episode looks like they are going to make him actually start having some remorse. Before, any remorse or guilt he felt was not for his actions, but for the blowback or fallout they created, like Trinity killing Rita (what happened to her kids, BTW? Are they ever coming back from Orlando? Or is all the time spent establishing his care for and interest in them going to be flushed? ). The childhood flashbacks, showing how early his proclivities started causing Deb pain seem to suggest the development of a more unselfish variety of guilt in Dexter, and possibly add a motivation to restrain himself at her behest somewhat.
Will Laguerta's discovery of the slide be an excuse to bring in Yvonne Strahovsky as a Frank Lundy-type? I'm looking forward to her on the show, but I don't want her to be just another femme fatale (Lila, Trinity's daughter), rescued victim (Lumen) or clueless love interest (Rita). He hasn't had a worthy good-guy adversary since Lundy was bumped off.October 1, 2012 at 8:46AM EST
LoopyChewThis episode looks like they're going to dispose of the romance plot quietly
I don't know about that; it seemed telling to me that he asked her what she was doing there in the first place and she didn't reply.October 1, 2012 at 9:39AM EST
DezbotI hope they don't entirely dispense with it in one respect, as Deb could use her attraction to Dex to figure out once and for all why she makes such poor choices in men (Lundy excepted). But as far as her and Dex getting together? Away with you, bad idea!October 1, 2012 at 2:12PM EST
Jared KI know that the romance subplot is far from popular, but since the writers opened that door, I sincerely hope that they give the storyline its due diligence and find a way to resolve it in a satisfying matter consistent with the season's narrative arc. Personally, I'm not a fan of when writers take a narrative risk (which that surely was) and then 'cut bait' before letting it pay off, for better or worse. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but brushing it under the rug is almost never the answer. To be fair, I don't think that they will. There are 11 episodes left, and Deb frankly had a lot more to deal with in this episode. She'll be coming to terms with last season's revelations in this new context soon enough.
As for the rest of the premiere, I thought it was fantastic. While I was never 'out' on the show, I was definitely watching Season 6 more for series completionist purposes and as a pulpy brain-number rather than as quality TV. Not anymore. I'm in for the duration, and happy to be so.October 1, 2012 at 4:43PM EST
Remy (guest)I'm in after seeing the premiere and will likely stay to the end (although I fast forwarded through most of season 6 after it aired). It was nice to be reminded of why this show was originally so captivating--especially the first 2 seasons when you weren't exactly sure what was going to happen next or if Dexter would be caught red-handed (in a credible way, not through a slip up that screamed "glaring plot hole") and exposed to all.
This reminded me of why I *used* to like this show so much. A better course for the show would have been five seasons total: season 1 and 2, season 4, and this one and the next one. Maybe I would be okay including the Lumen season but Jimmy Smits, Edward James Olmos, and Colin Hanks were just terrible. The biggest mistake the show ever made was to kill off Doakes, although for continuity and believability I guess he had to go. Now all they need to do is to reinject some of the black humor we saw early on, especially in the first two seasons.
Dexter used to be one weird guy and then he became so predictable. Here is hoping we'll get the old Dexter back.September 30, 2012 at 11:13PM ESTReply to Comment
JohnI guess I'm in the minority here, but I actually liked the Jimmy Smits season. It was the last two seasons that had me nearly stop watching.October 1, 2012 at 1:56AM EST
Shane LeavittReply to comment...October 1, 2012 at 3:17AM EST
Shane Leavitt(Ah sorry that was weird) John, there'd be atleast two of us. I enjoyed the Jimmy Smits season, *plus* i'm in the minority that I don't think Lithgow and season 4 was the best one. It is odd it took this long, but the writers are finally trying to pull this franchise out of the ho-hum and trying to turn it on it's head.October 1, 2012 at 3:22AM EST
Huell GoodmanIf there were problems with Season 3 it wasn't because of Jimmy Smits. I generally found their relationship pretty interesting. That said I watched that season on DVD, so perhaps it was more satisfying than waiting week to week.October 1, 2012 at 6:21AM EST
EricThe Smits season was OK, it just fades in the memory because in so many ways it paled in comparison to what came before and after. Smits himself was no Lithgow, even though he did a decent job, and the overall "Dexter has a friend who knows who he really is, sort of!" thing had already been done. Add in the loss of Doakes as the antagonist and the overall aimlessness and lack of forward momentum the show was exhibiting, and well, it was just kind of a mediocre season. Not bad, but not great.
As for the Lithgow season, apart from Lithgow himself I didn't think much of it. The plotting was pretty bad and that was yet another season where Dexter's character was evolving away from the interesting robot of S1, or the anti-hero of S2; by S4 he was basically a combination of Batman and Pinocchio, and they've worked that formula ever since, to the show's detriment. Even when Dexter would go off-script and do something truly awful, the show would forget about it within the span of the next episode, it seemed. Lithgow though - he was great. It basically saved that season for me.October 1, 2012 at 9:38AM EST
JohnHmmm...Eric, your points about the Smits season are fair enough. The thing is, I distinctly remember thinking that the non-Dexter supporting characters (Deb, Batista, even LaGuerta) in that season were written significantly better than they had been before or since. Maybe that's just me, but that's the main reason I liked it.October 1, 2012 at 4:09PM EST
jill adrianCount me in too on liking the Smits season. I really feel it was all downhill after. Slightly in 4, really downhill in 5, off the cliff in 6.October 4, 2012 at 1:38AM EST
wiefjw (guest)Pls someone answer these questions. How does dexter get into the luggage room to kill victor when the guy locked the door? Also dosen't Jamie have to stay in his apartment until he gets home, or does he allow harrison to sleep all by himself? If so, do we just assume deb came to the apartment and asked jamie to leave??September 30, 2012 at 11:23PM ESTReply to Comment
Chris H (guest)I was gripped the entire episode, more than I felt the entire previous season (thankfully Homeland provided the intensity I was looking for immediately afterward). I really had no idea what was going to happen and I LOVED it, I just hope the Dex/Deb story stays at the forefront rather than becoming some side-plot to whatever theme they have lined up for this season.September 30, 2012 at 11:29PM ESTReply to Comment
Guest (guest)I'm sure by now most people in adulthood have been disillusioned by someone or something they idealised. Without boring everyone with my personal dramas, I can definitely speak to learning something about someone I once adored that shook that relationship to its core - and the relationship that was once precious to me is now broken beyond repair. I remember how much I adored that person, and occasionally I miss the simplicity and joy that relationship provided, but there's no going back and I live with that everyday. This person is still very much in my life and I'm the only person who knows what I do about him.
Whatever - as I say, we've all experienced disillusionment. My point is that when last season ended with Deb walking in on Dexter's kill, I wondered how the writers would handle it. It's tempting to want the special bond Deb and Dexter have (had) to be maintained (minus any sibling lust scenario!) and to hope the writers will convince us that it could and will be - but it wouldn't feel as real to me if Deb didn't seriously grapple with loving someone who did something hateful ...
After one episode, I am personally gratified to see Deb is looking at Dexter with new eyes. She's digging into the past - I think she's going to compensate for helping him in the church by bringing him to some kind of justice. I think it will be the only way she'll be able to live with herself. Having said that, I think her knee-jerk reaction to help him cover it up was spot-on (she was operating out of everything about their relationship up to that point) but it will be interesting to see how much that compounds her disgust with him - and herself. The relationship will have to change and I bet she's going to have a hard time reconciling her efforts to help him the more she processes what he's done. Deb under stress is magnificent to watch.
And Dexter just keeps lying to her, while the narrative cultivates a kind of sympathy for him by showing flash-backs to Deb and Dexter's childhood and a moment in time when Dex's urges were a detriment to Deb - even when Dex was fighting them Harry was there to insist Dexter wouldn't be able to put his love for Deb first. The key to all of this is that we, the audience, weren't disillusioned by Dex - we've known who he is all along, and so we can appreciate Dexter's apprehension and depth of feeling for Deb while that relationship turns a corner.
I didn't enjoy the last two seasons, I'm hoping this season will be a come-back to its former glory. I hope the writers can pull it off!September 30, 2012 at 11:48PM ESTReply to Comment
a (guest)great episodeSeptember 30, 2012 at 11:53PM ESTReply to Comment
Ellen M. (guest)I'm a die hard Dexter fan. When I first watched Dexter, Season 1, I thought it was the smartest and most clever thing on TV. That's why I was so offended by Season 6. His job as a forensic geek gave him a perfect place to conduct and cover up his unsavory business. But they have gotten very sloppy with details over the years and that has really undermined credibility.
I was glad to see it back on track this episode though I think Deb let him off the hook too easily for the Travis killing. If Dexter had told her that Travis had tried to kill Harrison - no problem. Aunt Deb would have been satisfied. Yes - more questions but Dexter could cover himself.
And, how could he go for another kill right after that. I know he claims it gives him control, etc. But it seemed a bit too much for me. Harry's first rule is "Don't get caught." Doing something like that under Deb's growing suspicions seemed wrong.
But I do love that they will mine the past seasons for story threads and that was the best thing for me. Seeing Deb put together things about her close call with the Ice Truck Killer and La Guerta's catch of the blood slide- both have unresolved personal issues with those cases. It was good to see some other players being smart instead of Dexter.
I saw that Clyde Phillips was consulting in the credits - so glad. He was there in the earlier years and perhaps having around helped put them back on trek.
But I look forward to the sword play between Dexter and Deb. Hopefully, it will keep me on the edge of my seat.October 1, 2012 at 12:04AM ESTReply to Comment
Mary McKenney (guest)I've been wondering how Deb's discovery of Dexter's true self would play out... and I couldn't have been more impressed. Both actors were completely believable. And Dexter's excuses were good enough to get Deb to help him at first but flimsy enough to start her thinking about what's really going on. When Dexter comes home and sees Deb sitting there with all his knives and blood slides laid out... I wonder if that was a dream. I don't know how she would have found the blood slides in the air conditioner. Every time they were alone together, I thought she should fear for her life. Dexter is a cornered animal now and could convince himself that she is the only remaining threat to his freedom.October 1, 2012 at 12:25AM ESTReply to Comment
SoniaBut killing Deb would go against the Code. He would never do that.October 1, 2012 at 10:46AM EST
DezbotPlus, he's already learned that going outside the Code brings far too much danger with it. He won't kill her. Harry would never get out of his head then :-DOctober 1, 2012 at 2:15PM EST
LeeRe Deb discovering the blood slides in the air conditioner: she is a skilled detective and would definitely check the ac unit for some kind of incriminating evidence.October 1, 2012 at 2:20PM EST
John (guest)I was officially out at the end of last season...right until Deb walked in. And then I was thinking, "Damn it! I'm probably going to keep watching now." And I'm glad I did. The last two seasons were disastrous, but this premiere was really quite good. I'm glad that Deb didn't just buy Dexter's rather lame explanation for why he got caught red-handed, even if part of her wanted to. And whatever is going on with the mobster that Dexter killed off looks interesting. My only disappointment was that they killed Mike off, even if it was incredibly predictable (just as he was telling Deb that he'd be following up on something in the case that didn't add up, he comes across a suspicious-looking stranded motorist--I immediately thought, "Well, he's a goner") Too bad. But all in all, this was a very good episode, and it looks like it might be a bounce back season.October 1, 2012 at 1:53AM ESTReply to Comment
rdaveLoved this episode. Finally! I'm glad they finally stopped treading water. Hopefully this episode is the first of many that helps rebuild the show back to its peak (~season 2)October 1, 2012 at 2:58AM ESTReply to Comment

dombiliI liked the premiere but I don't understand the point of that Louis character. Maybe I forgot (been very long time since the last season), but there was nothing to indicate that he was more than a weirdo who loves serial killers, right? I feel like the character's in the show just in case some other story doesn't work out so they can focus on Louis's story. Maybe I'm being too picky, because almost every character in the show has the same purpose. We know so little about them, writers can do whatever they want with them even though the show's already in its 7th season.October 1, 2012 at 5:50AM ESTReply to Comment
dombiliForgot to add, the last episode of the season called "Surprise, Motherfucker". That's -as many of you will remember- Sgt. Doakes's famous line when he catches Dexter in the port. So if it wasn't obvious in the premiere that the focus of this season is gonna be between Dexter-Deb-Laguerta, there's your proof.October 1, 2012 at 5:55AM EST
Huell GoodmanDon't forget that Louis mailed the stolen Ice Truck Killer arm to Dexter for some reason, so we still don't really know what he knows about Dexter.October 1, 2012 at 7:02AM EST
LeeI think that Louis' plan is something that will be developed as the season progresses.October 1, 2012 at 2:26PM EST
tag8833Very promising first ep. I really think the show is at its best when Dexter is confronted with his inability to control situations.October 1, 2012 at 6:47AM ESTReply to Comment
bigperm33I really loved what they did with that first episode. I particularly liked that they didn't have Deb falling for Dexter telling her that he had snapped. She had been portrayed all these years as too smart a detective to fall for that for long. So i liked that they had her very quickly put all the pieces together. And I loved that last scene with Dexter walking in and she is sitting there to confront him with everything. There was no more denying what he has been all these years. I was one minute away from quitting on the show last season until those final moments when Deb catches Dexter. Now I am really looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.October 1, 2012 at 7:40AM ESTReply to Comment
JohnExactly. I too was just about to write the show off forever until Deb walked in, and then I decided I had to at least watch the premiere to see if the show finally did something interesting (other than Deb catching Dexter, I always thought the most interesting thing the show could do is have Dexter just stop killing people because he no longer needed it--which is why I was so dismayed by Brother Sam's demise). And it did. I'm back in.October 1, 2012 at 4:13PM EST
David (guest)I thought it was an excellent opening and it may even top my favourite season (4), I am certainly looking forwar to seeing how louis and legeruta are handled with there issuesOctober 1, 2012 at 9:38AM ESTReply to Comment
RazorbackThe thing that is always going to happen on DEXTER is that Deb is going to figure it out. Whatever it is, she always figures it out. She's like the greatest detective ever... I mean other than when it comes to noticing her brother's peculiar habits for 30 years or so.October 1, 2012 at 9:58AM ESTReply to Comment
Build A Better Fan (guest)I gave up on the show for long stretches after Season 2, and still haven't seen Season 5, because the tension had evaporated quickly after the first season.
This episode finally reminded me of that first season. They had to do something that can't be fully replicated, but finally we didn't need Dexter's narration to provide the meaning and importance of the action. Three detectives got curious/suspicious in the same episode, which was a nice change of pace, though it was obviously different for Deb than it was for LaGuerta and Anderson.
If I had to guess what's made the difference? Knowing when the series is going to end seems to have given the writers the freedom to challenge themselves and not worry so much about writing themselves into a corner.
If the next two episodes show signs of keeping up the quality, as Alan suggested in the earlier review, then I'll be hooked for the rest of the season.October 1, 2012 at 10:44AM ESTReply to Comment
christyThey said the word Doakes!
This episode hit all my Dexter sweet spots. Two in particular: acknowledging the past; and doing justice to Deb's character. That shot of her in Dexter's apartment at the end was chilling.
I only wish they could have done this at the end of the Lumen season instead. I didn't hate the Colin Hanks stuff last season (kind of a sucker for weirdo religions) but the Deb stuff was heinous and so unnecessary.October 1, 2012 at 10:53AM ESTReply to Comment
belindaPerhaps it was because I skipped season 6, or maybe it was the fact that the show is finally moving Dexter to the point where Deb finds out for realsies, but I found myself really enjoying the episode and excited for the next, which hasn't happened for a very long time with Dexter.
And while I've heard the whole Deb's in love with Dexter thing from last season, if I hadn't known about that, I wouldn't have known from watching this episode. Can the show just forget that ever happened?
I have a question about s6 though. Anything I should know about the new babysitter and the guy she's with (if they were there in s6), besides what we've seen in this episode?October 1, 2012 at 1:33PM ESTReply to Comment
DezbotJamie is Batista's niece and seems like a nice person.
Louis is one of Matsuka's interns. He replaced a previous intern who sexed up Matsuka and stole the arm from the Ice Truck Killer evidence stash, then put it up for sale on the web. Matsuka found out and tried to buy the arm back, but we find out later that Louis bought it.
Louis looks up to Dexter and designed a serial killer game where you can play as a serial killer instead of a victim. He sought Dex's approval, but Dex was appalled. Louis then sent the arm to Dex, but Dex hasn't discovered it yet. He's been getting weirder and weirder since he was introduced.
Personally, I thought it was a bit much that there were two interns that were serial killer-obsessed, but at least Louis is more interesting than the one Matsuka fired. :-)October 1, 2012 at 2:22PM EST
HatfieldSays you, Dezbot! If they're equally annoying, I'll take the hot one every time.October 1, 2012 at 6:12PM EST
DezbotEh, she was okay. You'll have hot back in a few eps with Yvonne coming, at any rate ;-)October 1, 2012 at 7:26PM EST
Sarah (guest)Was no one else totslly freaked out by the presence of Savannah Paige Ray (little Sydney from Parenthood) as flashback Deb? I know she is not playing flashback Dexter, but still totaly freaked me out.October 1, 2012 at 11:32PM ESTReply to Comment
Comment Removed (guest)There are a lot of interesting ideas in this episode, and I really hope that the rest of the season doesn't squander them. The series went off of the rails post-season 2. Up through season 2, Dexter was a serial killer, not an avenging angel (despite what he fantasized at the end of the first season). Then the writers started to make him into a "real boy" and decided that it's ok that he kills bad people (rather than treat murder as a horrific action motivated by compulsion not justice). There are a lot of ways the writers can screw this up, but it is promising that Debra is appalled by murder (whether the victim is a bad guy or not). Also positive, LaGuerta suspects that maybe the BHB is still active. If they start making the Miami cops competent and once again treat Dexter as a serial killer and not a hero, then this season might really be a good one. Hopefully they can start moving into an endgame (if not this season, then set it up for next season).October 2, 2012 at 1:36AM ESTReply to Comment
alex (guest)It baffles my mind that this sub-par episode had such a good reception and a trully great, consistent show like Boardwalk Empire is continuously trashed by some frustrated teens for killing a mediocre character. I'm sorry but if you didn't noticed the flawed,aberrant writing and the awful acting by Jennifer Carpenter in the season premiere you must have mental issues.October 2, 2012 at 5:00AM ESTReply to Comment
JacksonVossI'm cautiously optimistic. Maybe the only reason the last two seasons were terrible is that the writers were running out of ways to spin their wheels, and they'll be better now that they have something to drive toward. And way to redeem the ridiculous way Deb caught Dexter last season by having her piece together his true nature using her brain and not sheer luck and contrivance! Hopefully the show uses this thing with Deb to remind us that Dexter is a screwed-up serial killer, not the lovable vigilante superhero he's become in recent seasons. The sooner Deb calls BS on all that necessary evil, dark balancing light garbage, the better.
Also, I like that we're dealing with organized crime this year as our Big Bad instead of yet another serial killer, but I'm a little worried it'll end up being something less interesting for us to sit through between scenes dealing with Dexter and Deb.
One bit of speculation: think the show will have the balls to kill of Deb this year? She'd have to set the rest of Miami Metro on Dexter's trail before she buys the farm so we don't have to redo the catching of Dexter with somebody else, but after all that talk this week about how she's Dexter's last connection to civilization, wouldn't it be intense if he loses her just as law enforcement starts coming for him in earnest? That could set up a really intense final season, and it could send Dexter into a dark enough place that the audience won't necessarily root against the people trying to catch him.October 2, 2012 at 12:21PM ESTReply to Comment
DezbotThat could be interesting. I'm also thinking maybe Deb becomes Dex's new Harry, although...she wouldn't have to be alive to do that, I guess.October 2, 2012 at 2:01PM EST
HISLOCALThe two most interesting things they could do for the end game:
1) kill Deb and have Dexter go Rambo
2) catch Dexter and have him go Hannibal Lecter to Deb's Clarice Starling
As far as the "big bad", I don't mind that much....if they didn't have a day job to do, it would just become In Therapy, with Deb and Dexter working through feelings the whole hour.October 3, 2012 at 10:45AM EST
JedyKnightDexter has been on a steep decline season by season, and last season misdirection-that-wasnt-really was almost hitting bottom (although Michael C. Hall always deliver & some of the cast/guests some times did).. I kept with it, sometimes falling behind and then catching up.. but when i saw that premiere, i felt so, so happy.. like the long wait had been rewarded. I specially loved how they wrote Deb as the good detective she supposedly is, she didnt let Dex escape away with full lies or semi-lies, she hang on to her reasonable doubts and then she went into full looking for proof-mode. She rocked.. and that final scene.. was beautiful. =)October 2, 2012 at 5:55PM ESTReply to Comment
jill adrian (guest)Requiem for a once great show. Sorry, maybe I'm too jaded now after Breaking Bad & Homeland (& very discouraged by Dexter Season 6), but what once sounded like a great series game changer (the Deb reveal) is now too late, too stale, & too predictable. Of course she won't turn Dex in, we have almost 2 full seasons at least yet. LaGuarda will be on a tear to get Doakes' name cleared & a manhunt for the real BHB to be started. Deb will be caught in the middle, torn between her love for Dexter & her career. While Dex goes on with his kills, probably with better excuses.
What really portends disappointment for the season here in this episode are 2 examples: Dexter carelessly forgetting the blood slide is the most obvious. How convenient that he only becomes careless after all this time wiping up every tiny blood trace over the last 6 years to leaving the biggest clue for his boss to find. A boss who has never before looked around a crime scene for evidence. And secondly, how could anyone, even a superkiller like Dex, evade security cameras at a major airport & get into a locked room off a major hallway to ritualistically & neatly but BRUTALLY MURDER SOMEONE. In an AIRPORT. And then get away cleanly??
Dexter 1, suspension of disbelief 0.October 4, 2012 at 1:57AM ESTReply to Comment
jill adrianOK I'll admit that the blood slide problem could be due to Deb's presence, but if the show keeps having Dexter do things that would be impossible in reality (like the airport & almost every thing he did last season), then the show is done.
I really, really hope these are not the types of situations they portray again this season, but I have my doubts. I so much want the show to rediscover what it once was, dark humor & all. Wonder if the current showrunners can pull it off.October 4, 2012 at 10:58AM EST
Dudleys Mom (guest)Okay, this is weird. I think I'm going to start watching again and I have no plans to watch last season (which I dumped about 2 episodes in). I have never, ever done that. (I am also a completist.)
But I am really psyched, because I think there's a possibility that LaGuerta is going to get sliced and diced, and that would make me dance with joy.
I still think the show is really flawed, and we are very far away from the character of Dexter as we met him.
As an aside, I wish they would minimize Dexter's narration and just trust that the audience understands what he's thinking most of the time. It's really "on the nose". If the show would dump that, it would force the writing to improve, I think. And then they could caption it for the cognitively impaired viewer, "Dexter muses that his father's code wouldn't allow this."October 4, 2012 at 11:50AM ESTReply to Comment

The U.S. Geological Survey estimated the probability of the Elko area suffering a magnitude 6.0 earthquake in the next 50 years was 6 to 8 percent. For Carson City, they estimated the likelihood at 70 percent.
"Carson City-Reno is probably the number one potential earthquake hazard in Nevada because of the location of large active faults," said David Schwartz, USGS earthquake geologist.
In terms of seismic activity, Nevada is third in the nation, behind only California and Alaska, for earthquakes.
About 30 faults could cause damage in the Carson City-Reno urban corridor, he said, but the most troublesome are the Genoa Lake fault, Mount Rose fault, Carson City Fault, Indian Hills fault, Kings Canyon fault, Eagle Valley fault and the East Carson Valley faults.
"Those are primarily the active faults that could produce earthquakes in the Carson area," Schwartz said.
Carson City Fire Chief Stacey Giomi, also the city's emergency management director, said the city has an emergency plan in place, but people should remember that our resources are already taxed.
"An earthquake is absolutely overwhelming to a community. If we have an earthquake in this region, and it's a significant earthquake, it's not only going to affect us, it's going to affect all of the people we rely on for mutual assistance. We're not going to get help from Reno or Douglas County like we do on a daily basis," he said. "We do have a good plan in place that will make the best use of all the resources we have to bring to bear and we work very hard at working together as a team citywide."
Melina Alexander, customer service representative for Farmer's Insurance, said most home insurance policies she handles do not have earthquake coverage, but just like after the Fernley floods when flood insurance increased, she expects earthquake insurance will increase.
"It can be added on to your homeowner's policy and it's not terribly expensive," she said.
Giomi said damage estimates should a magnitude 6.0 earthquake strike are nearly $700 million.
A FEMA model that generates loss-estimates for earthquake scenarios predicts a 6.0 earthquake here could claim 20 to100 lives, with 140 to 600 people needing shelter and 2,800 buildings suffering major damage.
But, Giomi notes, there are ways for people to protect themselves. The Carson City Fire Department's Preparedness Guide lists a number of things people can do to protect life and property during a disaster. The guide can be picked up at the Carson City Fire Department on Stewart Street.
"I think that a disaster like this will be taxing on us, and it will be challenging for the community, but based on our past performance to disasters, everyone works together very well, and I think we have the strength of our community to draw on," he said. "Our community has a very strong history of pulling together. Community response to disaster is really what's critical. Neighbor helping neighbor. And everyone in this community has done a really good of doing that in the past."

Work stoppages in 2008
February 12, 2009
Major work stoppages idled 72,000 workers for nearly two million workdays in 2008. The number of workers idled declined by more than half compared with 2007 when there were 189,000 workers idled for 1.3 million workdays.
In 2008, the largest work stoppage in total days idle and number of workers was between the Boeing Company and the International Association of Machinists Districts 24, 70, and 751 with 27,000 workers accounting for 1,053,000 lost workdays.
The longest work stoppage that began in 2008 was between American Axle & Manufacturing, Incorporated and the United Auto Workers International Union Locals 235, 262, 424, 846, and 2093, which was 63 days. Another long stoppage, between the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Writers Guild of America West and East, was in effect in 2008 (having begun in November of 2007 and ending in February 2008) and lasted 68 days.
These data are from the BLS Work Stoppages Program. Learn more about work stoppages from "Major Work Stoppages in 2008" (PDF) (HTML), news release USDL 09-0150. Major work stoppages are defined as strikes or lockouts that idle 1,000 or more workers and last at least one shift.
