So far, Obamanomics has produced the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression. But if Obamanomics is not stopped, next year it will produce renewed recession.
Unemployment will consequently soar back into double digits, and the deficit will rocket to over $2 trillion, the highest by far in world history, as revenues plunge with the economy in the face of escalating public assistance expenditures. That will further explode the national debt, steering us on to the expressway to Greece.
President Obama has already enacted into current law effective Jan. 1 increases in the top tax rates of virtually every major federal tax. That is because the tax increases of ObamaCare go into effect, and the Bush tax cuts expire, which Obama refuses to renew for the nation's successful small businesses, job creators and investors.
As a result, on Jan. 1 the top two income-tax rates will rise by nearly 20%, the capital gains tax rate will soar by nearly 60%, the tax rate on dividends will nearly triple, the Medicare payroll tax rate will rocket 62% and the death tax will rise from the grave with a 57% tax-rate increase.
That is all on top of the highest corporate income-tax rate in the world (except for the socialist one-party state of Cameroon) under Obama at nearly 40% on average counting state rates.
Yet, under Obama there is no relief in sight. Instead, he has barnstormed the country calling for still more tax increases.
Cost Of Regulation
Under his so-called Buffett rule, the capital gains tax rate would explode by 100%, to the fourth-highest in the world, even though every time the capital gains tax rate has been raised in the last 45 years capital gains revenues have fallen. The objective fact is that people faced with high capital gains taxes simply stop making transactions and the revenue falls rather than rises.
Tax increases aren't enough damage for this administration. Obama is also busily building a crescendo of increased regulatory costs for next year.

Expert rules for aminoglycosides, macrolides and lincosamides
Abstract number: 1732_253
Leclercq R.
Resistance to aminoglycosides is mostly related to production of modifying enzymes, phosphorylases, nucleotidyltransferases or acetyltransferases. The enzymes vary in their substrate ranges which are often broad and each enzyme is characterised by a particular profile of resistance which allows its putative identification from the conferred phenotype. The enzymes from Gram-positive cocci generally differ from the enzymes detected in Gram-negative bacteria. Generally, the presence of an enzyme confers to the host frank resistance to the antibiotics modified in vitro. However, there are some exceptions, both in Gram-negative and in Gram-positive bacteria. For instance, resistance of Gram-positive organisms to the kanamycinneomycin group of antibiotics is due to the synthesis of an APH(3')-III enzyme. The enzyme catalyzes efficient phosphorylation of amikacin in cell-free extracts but does not always determine resistance to this antibiotic. However, bactericidal synergism of amikacin with b-lactams or vancomycin is always abolished. Therefore, the test of kanamycin better predicts the activity of amikacin against Gram-positive organisms. In this case and several others, interpretive reading of susceptibility tests based on identification of resistance phenotypes may help to identify impaired activity of aminoglycosides.
Interpretive reading may also allow to identify some pitfalls in the detection of resistance to macrolide and lincosamide antibiotics. Staphylococci may be resistant to macrolides by production of a ribosomal methylase encoded by erm genes conferring the MLSB phenotype or by production of an efflux pump encoded by the msr(A) gene. In case of inducible MLSB resistance, clindamycin that is not an inducer remains active. However, constitutively resistant mutants can be selected by clindamycin and clinical failure during treatment by clindamycin have been reported in a few occasions. The use of clindamycin is probably best avoided in severe infections or infections with heavy bacterial inocula. In case of resistance by efflux, clindamycin is not substrate for the pump and the risk for selection of resistant mutants is not greater than that for erythromycin-susceptible isolates. By a disk diffusion test, the inducible MLSB phenotype can be identified by the flattening of the clindamycin zone facing the erythromycin disk.

The Kawasaki KX450F has been the king of the 450 class four out of the last six years (2009, 2012, 2013 and 2014). All kings maintain their thrones by virtue of their power.
The 2014 Kawasaki KX450F is defined—lock, stock and barrel—by its powerband. Not the most powerful engine on the dyno, the KX450F engine produces an amazingly effective race-style of power. It is, without a doubt, the best race engine made in 2014. The rest of package is average?if that.
Powerband. The KX450F engine is incredible. It is smooth down low, rolls on with authority and is the best all-around race engine of 2014. It doesn't make the most power, but its 55.05 horsepower is perfectly placed.
Plug-in maps. If you want more power, switch to the white map plug-in. If you want less, go with the black one. The tunability is one of the best features of the KX450F engine package.
Launch Control. Soft dirt? No Launch Control. Hard dirt? Launch Control.
Tires. We loved Bridgestone 403/404 tires?and that's what comes on the KX450F.
Brakes. These old-school brakes won't stop 239 pounds of runaway locomotive.
Sound. This is the loudest bike on the track. It makes an ear piercing 120.6 decibels.
Clutch. If you intend to keep your bike for a long time get a complete Hinson clutch or, at the very least, stiffer clutch springs..
Shifting. Don't rush it no matter how big a rush you are in.
Chain guide. Order a T.M. Designworks chain guide kit before you get home from the dealership.
Here is the short list of things the MXA wrecking crew changed on the 2014 KX450F.
(1) We ran a T.M. Designworks chain guide.
(2) We added one tooth to the rear sprocket to enable us to shift to third gear sooner.
(3) We installed an oversize front rotor.
(4) We used a complete Hinson clutch.
(5) We ran Splitstream crossover air valves or Works Connection EZ Fill Schrader valves to allow us to check the forks easier.
(6) We ran switched to SKF forks seals after blowing the PSF air fork seals twice.
(7) We cut some threads off the rear master cylinder plunger rod to allow to brake pedal to move downward.
The only superlative on the 2014 KX450F is the powerband. We live with the rest of the package for the thrill of turning the KX450F throttle.

TONTOGANY, Ohio — The Otsego school board Tuesday night is expected to freeze the wages of all administrative staff, including Superintendent Jim Garber, for the next two years.
The wage freeze for the 14 administrators would mirror a two-year freeze recently accepted by teachers and nonteaching staff. In the third year of the union contracts, wages remain frozen although step increases will be granted to eligible employees.
The school board, which meets at 6 p.m. at the junior high library, also plans to discuss the future of the Weston school property.
The former elementary school closed at the end of the 2008-'09 school year as part of a cost-cutting plan. If a new owner cannot be found for the Weston building, Mr. Garber said it likely would be demolished.

Dustin Patton kept Angelo State in the game in the first half. When Eastern New Mexico University finally locked down on him, Kenny Smith took over for the Rams.
Patton and Smith combined for 11 3-pointers and Angelo State led the entire second half in turning back the Greyhounds 80-76 Saturday night in a Lone Star Conference South Division men's clash at Greyhound Arena.
Patton, who came in averaging just 7.7 points and shooting 37 percent from 3-point range, scored all but one of his 16 points in the first half when he went 5-for-6 from beyond the arc.
Smith then added four treys in the final 20 minutes, giving him six for the night en route to a game-high 21 points.
ASU (9-13, 2-5 South) took a 35-33 halftime lead when junior Matt Hardin grabbed a loose ball under the basket and scored as time expired on an ill-advised desperation 40-footer by Sercan Fenerci, who shot it up with about seven seconds to go.
The Rams went up by 10 points three times early in the second half and held off a late charge by ENMU (8-13, 1-5).
After not shooting a free throw in the first half, ASU went 16-for-22 from the line over the final 20 minutes. Hardin, who missed two free throws with less than a second left on the clock two years ago to send a game into overtime that ENMU eventually pulled out, made 1-of-2 from the line with 1.9 seconds left to clinch the win.
"The key was we made free throws at the end," ASU coach Joe Esposito said. "Kenny Smith and Dustin Patton had extremely good nights from the free throw line."
Guard Jermel Brooks added 16 points and forward Rashawn Childs scored 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds for Angelo, which shot 46 percent for the game and connected on 12-of-26 from 3-point range.
Smith went 6-of-9 and Dutton finished 5-of-7 from beyond the arc.
"We always shoot well here and play well here," Esposito said. "The guy I felt good for was Matt Hardin (at the end).
"It as nice to come into this building and win. Every team in this (division) is tough to play, and we were just fortunate to get out of her with a win."
Senior forward Jamaal Hunnicutt finished with 19 points, 15 rebounds, six assists and four steals for the Hounds, coming up big after scoring just three points in the first half. Junior guards Jolen Montoya and Reggie Wallace added 17 and 14 points, respectively, and each also contributed four assists.
ENMU men's coach Shawn Scanlan, whose team begins a four-game, two-week road swing on Thursday at Abilene Christian, said the Rams' 3-point shooting was hard to overcome.
"We had a tough matchup on Smith, but hats off to him — he hit some big shots," Scanlan said.
"These (losses) are tough because our backs are against the wall (in the division). It just means we have to go out on the road and do something the next two weeks."
The Hounds started slowly, falling behind 12-4 after back-to-back 3-pointers by Patton before surging into the lead with a 12-0 run that included a medium-range jumper and a 3-pointer by Montoya.
Despite the rally, Scanlan said he knew the Hounds weren't in a good groove.
"I thought we hit some shots to get a lead, but we never really established a rhythm on offense," he said.
Patton brought the Rams back, hitting three more 3-pointers over the next seven minutes. The last put ASU in front 30-27 with less than two minutes to go in the half.

This is truly full of flavor. Tripled the glaze and used it over rice and in stir fried veggies. Kids loved it.
This is a fabulous recipe. I double the marinade. I serve the salmon over rice and sitr-fry veggies. I add a several tablespoons of marinade to the veggies at the very end when stir-frying.
My 19yo son prepared this for us; it was easy and delicious! He reduced the sugar by half and it was plenty sweet. We also roasted rather than broiled the fish; it took about 15 min for a 2 lb filet at 450F. This avoided the whole problem of burnt glaze. I would have enjoyed thinner glaze, and having additional on the side to spoon over at the table would have been nice. We had each person add their own pepper flakes to taste. With brown rice, roasted asparagus, and a green salad it was a lovely meal!
Made this for dinner last night and had the tiny bit left over for lunch. Delicious! However I too overcooked the sauce. It didn't burn but became too thick. After thinning with hot water, I used the diluted mixture to marinate and then gently reheated the rest to re-thicken. Grilled the fillets on an indoor electric grill and they cooked up with beautiful, tasty skin and a smoky sweet flavor. Awesome! Next time I will marinate the fish in some of the uncooked sauce mixture before heating the rest to glaze consistency. As good as it is, I also think the sauce could use less sugar. Great recipe though.
Careful not to overcook the glaze. It will burn and solidify. Ten minutes or less will be more than enough.
Flavor was fantastic. Was just cooknig for myself and thought it would be enough for 2 dinners. Wrong. All gone. The glazing was easy in round 1 - but after sitting for 23+ minutes, indeed turned to toffee. Will try to find a way to keep it in the liquid state and let you know how it went.
Followed recipe as listed, had no problem with tar, but it was a bit sweet for me. Will make adjustments to kick up the heat in the future.
Everyone at the dinner table said it was the best salmon they'd ever had. I added a minced jalapeno to the glaze for a little more kick, and I'd do that again. Wonderful!
this recipe is awesome. my friends were licking their fingers after eating the salmon. we had one extra piece that never got cooked on the first night. so i left it marinating and grilled it the next day. this was definitely the better piece of salmon, so i recommend letting the fish marinate in the sauce at least over night
The first time I made this recipe the glaze was like toffee, but the flavors were so good I decided to try again. I only cooked it for about 7-10 minutes and had better results. This is now a family favorite!

Lady Mercy Danforthe Flirts with Scandal by Jayne Fresina - Fiction
Praise for The Most Improper Miss Sophie Valentine:
"Eminently witty." —Publishers Weekly
"A unique historical romance." —Booklist
When a Perfectly Proper Lady...
Lady Mercy Danforthe always has a plan. It's what makes her such a successful matchmaker, and why she's obligated to spend a great deal of time generously organizing the lives of her friends and family. But there's one man beyond her help. One man whose recklessness she can't rein in; whose chaos she can't contain. Her ex-husband, Rafe Hartley. Her one—and only!—mistake.
Flirts with a Reckless Rogue...
Rafe has never forgiven Mercy for running out on him. Their hastily annulled marriage may have one lasted three hours, but that doesn't mean he needs her help finding a proper wife. Someone needs to teach little Miss Know-It-All a lesson about keeping her adorably freckled nose out of other people's business. And it just so happens that Mercy "Silky Drawers" Danforthe still owes him a wedding night...

I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
I say it is impossible that so sensible a people [citizens of Paris], under such circumstances, should have lived so long by the smoky, unwholesome, and enormously expensive light of candles, if they had really known that they might have had as much pure light of the sun for nothing.

If in a given community unchecked popular rule means unlimited waste and destruction of the natural resources—soil, fertility, waterpower, forests, game, wild-life generally—which by right belong as much to subsequent generations as to the present generation, then it is sure proof that the present generation is not yet really fit for self-control, that it is not yet really fit to exercise the high and responsible privilege of a rule which shall be both by the people and for the people. The term "for the people" must always include the people unborn as well as the people now alive, or the democratic ideal is not realized.
If the [Vestiges] be true, the labours of sober induction are in vain; religion is a lie; human law is a mass of folly, and a base injustice; morality is moonshine; our labours for the black people of Africa were works of madmen; and man and woman are only better beasts!
In the school of political projectors, I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing, in my judgment, wholly out of their senses; which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favourites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity, and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities, and eminent services; of instructing princes to know their true interest, by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employment persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimeras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive, and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.
It is certain that as a nation we are all smoking a great deal too much ... Smoking among boysto whom it cannot possibly do any kind of good, while it may do a vast amount of active harmis becoming prevalent to a most pernicious extent. ... It would be an excellent thing for the morality of the people could the use of intoxicants and tobacco be forbidden to all persons under twenty years of age. (1878)
It isn't easy to become a fossil. ... Only about one bone in a billion, it is thought, becomes fossilized. If that is so, it means that the complete fossil legacy of all the Americans alive today - that's 270 million people with 206 bones each - will only be about 50 bones, one-quarter of a complete skeleton. That's not to say, of course, that any of these bones will ever actually be found.
It's much more effective to allow solutions to problems to emerge from the people close to the problem rather than to impose them from higher up.
Ive always been inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, who articulated his Dream of an America where people are judged not by skin color but by the content of their character. In the scientific world, people are judged by the content of their ideas. Advances are made with new insights, but the final arbitrator of any point of view are experiments that seek the unbiased truth, not information cherry picked to support a particular point of view.
Knowledge is indivisible. When people grow wise in one direction, they are sure to make it easier for themselves to grow wise in other directions as well. On the other hand, when they split up knowledge, concentrate on their own field, and scorn and ignore other fields, they grow less wiseeven in their own field.
Man is not only part of a field, but a part and member of his group. When people are together, as when they are at work, then the most unnatural behavior, which only appears in late stages or abnormal cases, would be to behave as separate Egos. Under normal circumstances they work in common, each a meaningfully functioning part of the whole.
Many of the things that have happened in the laboratory have happened in ways it would have been impossible to foresee, but not impossible to plan for in a sense. I do not think Dr. Whitney deliberately plans his serendipity but he is built that way; he has the artan instinctive way of preparing himself by his curiosity and by his interest in people and in all kinds of things and in nature, so that the things he learns react on one another and thereby accomplish things that would be impossible to foresee and plan.
Memory is a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things.
Money. It has such an inherent power to run itself clear of taint that human ingenuity cannot devise the means of making it work permanent mischief, any more than means can be found of torturing people beyond what they can bear. Even if a man founds a College of Technical Instruction, the chances are ten to one that no one will be taught anything and that it will have been practically left to a number of excellent professors who will know very well what to do with it.
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
Nobody knows more than a tiny fragment of science well enough to judge its validity and value at first hand. For the rest he has to rely on views accepted at second hand on the authority of a community of people accredited as scientists. But this accrediting depends in its turn on a complex organization. For each member of the community can judge at first hand only a small number of his fellow members, and yet eventually each is accredited by all. What happens is that each recognizes as scientists a number of others by whom he is recognized as such in return, and these relations form chains which transmit these mutual recognitions at second hand through the whole community. This is how each member becomes directly or indirectly accredited by all. The system extends into the past. Its members recognize the same set of persons as their masters and derive from this allegiance a common tradition, of which each carries on a particular strand.
One never finds fossil bones bearing no resemblance to human bones. Egyptian mummies, which are at least three thousand years old, show that men were the same then. The same applies to other mummified animals such as cats, dogs, crocodiles, falcons, vultures, oxen, ibises, etc. Species, therefore, do not change by degrees, but emerged after the new world was formed. Nor do we find intermediate species between those of the earlier world and those of today's. For example, there is no intermediate bear between our bear and the very different cave bear. To our knowledge, no spontaneous generation occurs in the present-day world. All organized beings owe their life to their fathers. Thus all records corroborate the globe's modernity. Negative proof: the barbaritY of the human species four thousand years ago. Positive proof: the great revolutions and the floods preserved in the traditions of all peoples.
People must understand that science is inherently neither a potential for good nor for evil. It is a potential to be harnessed by man to do his bidding.
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice.
People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.
People who write obscurely are either unskilled in writing or up to mischief.
People wonder why the novel is the most popular form of literature; people wonder why it is read more than books of science or books of metaphysics. The reason is very simple; it is merely that the novel is more true than they are. In the fiery alphabet of every sunset is written to be continued in our next.
Perhaps the problem is the seeming need that people have of making black-and-white cutoffs when it comes to certain mysterious phenomena, such as life and consciousness. People seem to want there to be an absolute threshold between the living and the nonliving, and between the thinking and the merely mechanical, ... But the onward march of science seems to force us ever more clearly into accepting intermediate levels of such properties.
Richard Feynman was fond of giving the following advice on how to be a genius. You have to keep a dozen of your favorite problems constantly present in your mind, although by and large they will lay in a dormant state. Every time you hear or read a new trick or a new result, test it against each of your twelve problems to see whether it helps. Every once in a while there will be a hit, and people will say, How did he do it? He must be a genius!
Science is simply the classification of the common knowledge of the common people. It is bringing together the things we all know and putting them together so we can use them. This is creation and finds its analogy in Nature, where the elements are combined in certain ways to give us fruits or flowers or grain.
Science makes people reach selflessly for truth and objectivity; it teaches people to accept reality, with wonder and admiration, not to mention the deep awe and joy that the natural order of things brings to the true scientist.
The amount of knowledge which we can justify from evidence directly available to us can never be large. The overwhelming proportion of our factual beliefs continue therefore to be held at second hand through trusting others, and in the great majority of cases our trust is placed in the authority of comparatively few people of widely acknowledged standing.
The development of science has produced an industrial revolution which has brought different peoples in such close contact with one another through colonization and commerce that no matter how some nations may still look down upon others, no country can harbor the illusion that its career is decided wholly within itself.
The goal is nothing other than the coherence and completeness of the system not only in respect of all details, but also in respect of all physicists of all places, all times, all peoples, and all cultures.
The great testimony of history shows how often in fact the development of science has emerged in response to technological and even economic needs, and how in the economy of social effort, science, even of the most abstract and recondite kind, pays for itself again and again in providing the basis for radically new technological developments. In fact, most people—when they think of science as a good thing, when they think of it as worthy of encouragement, when they are willing to see their governments spend substance upon it, when they greatly do honor to men who in science have attained some eminence-have in mind that the conditions of their life have been altered just by such technology, of which they may be reluctant to be deprived.
The honor you have given us goes not to us as a crew, but to ... all Americans, who believed, who persevered with us. What Apollo has begun we hope will spread out in many directions, not just in space, but underneath the seas, and in the cities to tell us unforgettably what we will and must do. There are footprints on the moon. Those footprints belong to each and every one of you, to all mankind. They are there because of the blood, sweat, and tears of millions of people. Those footprints are the symbol of true human spirit.
The people of Sydney who can speak of my work [on flying-machine models] without a smile are very scarce; it is doubtless the same with American workers. I know that success is dead sure to come, and therefore do not waste time and words in trying to convince unbelievers.
The ruthless destruction of their forests by the Chinese is one of the reasons why famine and plague today hold this nation in their sinister grasp. Denudation, wherever practiced, leaves naked soil; floods and erosion follow, and when the soil is gone men must also goand the process does not take long. The great plains of Eastern China were centuries ago transformed from forest into agricultural land. The mountain plateau of Central China have also within a few hundred years been utterly devastated of tree growth, and no attempt made at either natural or artificial reforestation. As a result, the water rushes off the naked slopes in veritable floods, gullying away the mountain sides, causing rivers to run muddy with yellow soil, and carrying enormous masses of fertile earth to the sea. Water courses have also changed; rivers become uncontrollable, and the water level of the country is lowered perceptibly. In consequence, the unfortunate people see their crops wither and die for lack of water when it is most needed.
The scientist is not responsible for the laws of nature. It is his job to find out how these laws operate. It is the scientists job to find the ways in which these laws can serve the human will. However, it is not the scientists job to determine whether a hydrogen bomb should be constructed, whether it should be used, or how it should be used. This responsibility rests with the American people and with their chosen representatives.
The solutions put forth by imperialism are the quintessence of simplicity...When they speak of the problems of population and birth, they are in no way moved by concepts related to the interests of the family or of society...Just when science and technology are making incredible advances in all fields, they resort to technology to suppress revolutions and ask the help of science to prevent population growth. In short, the peoples are not to make revolutions, and women are not to give birth. This sums up the philosophy of imperialism.
The total number of people who understand relativistic time, even after eighty years since the advent of special relativity, is still much smaller than the number of people who believe in horoscopes.
The use of sea and air is common to all; neither can a title to the ocean belong to any people or private persons, forasmuch as neither nature nor public use and custom permit any possession therof.
There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things we could use.
Those individuals who give moral considerations a much greater weight than considerations of expediency represent a comparatively small minority, five percent of the people perhaps. But, In spite of their numerical inferiority, they play a major role in our society because theirs is the voice of the conscience of society.
Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.
To eliminate the discrepancy between men's plans and the results achieved, a new approach is necessary. Morphological thinking suggests that this new approach cannot be realized through increased teaching of specialized knowledge. This morphological analysis suggests that the essential fact has been overlooked that every human is potentially a genius. Education and dissemination of knowledge must assume a form which allows each student to absorb whatever develops his own genius, lest he become frustrated. The same outlook applies to the genius of the peoples as a whole.
Uniform ideas originating among entire peoples unknown to each other must have a common ground of truth.
We are living in an age of awesome agricultural enterprise that needs to be interpreted. We find our simple faith in science dominated by the Religion of PhDeism under the reign of Data; so narrow in people and often so meaningless in context as to be worthless to the scientific farmer.
We claim to be more moral than other nations, and to conquer and govern and tax and plunder weaker peoples for their good! While robbing them we actually claim to be benefactors! And then we wonder, or profess to wonder, why other Governments hate us! Are they not fully justified in hating us? Is it surprising that they seek every means to annoy us, that they struggle to get navies to compete with us, and look forward to a time when some two or three of them may combine together and thoroughly humble and cripple us? And who can deny that any just Being, looking at all the nations of the earth with impartiality and thorough knowledge, would decide that we deserve to be humbled, and that it might do us good?
We need go back only a few centuries to find the great mass of people depending on religion for the satisfaction of practically all their wishes. From rain out of the sky to good health on earth, they sought their desires at the altars of their gods. Whether they wanted large families, good crops, freedom from pestilence, or peace of mind, they conceived themselves as dependent on the favor of heaven. Then science came with its alternative, competitive method of getting what we want. That is sciences most important attribute. As an intellectual influence it is powerful enough, but as a practical way of achieving mans desires it is overwhelming.
We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of preeminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war.
We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms.
What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly? ... wearying himself with climbing upon every ascent, ... bruising himself with continual falls, and at last breaking his neck? And all this, from an imagination that it would be glorious to have the eyes of people looking up at him, and mighty happy to eat, and drink, and sleep, at the top of the highest trees in the kingdom.
Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost between two spiral arms in the outskirts of a galaxy, tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
Why is it that showers and even storms seem to come by chance, so that many people think it quite natural to pray for rain or fine weather, though they would consider it ridiculous to ask for an eclipse by prayer.
You can't possibly be a scientist if you mind people thinking that you're a fool.
[Decimal currency is desirable because] by that means all calculations of interest, exchange, insurance, and the like are rendered much more simple and accurate, and, of course, more within the power of the great mass of people. Whenever such things require much labor, time, and reflection, the greater number who do not know, are made the dupes of the lesser number who do.
[In] death at least there would be one profit; it would no longer be necessary to eat, to drink, to pay taxes, or to [offend] others; and as a man lies in his grave not one year, but hundreds and thousands of years, the profit was enormous. The life of man was, in short, a loss, and only his death a profit.

The Weekly Smörgåsbord #6
Posted by Darin Hayton on 03/28 at 12:00 PM
This week's Smörgåsbord includes a couple articles and some Ada Lovelace posts, as well as the typical historiographic post and a post about Darwin and C-SPAN.
- "Emmy and the Habilitation" — The Renaissance Mathematicus offers his entry for the Ada Lovelace day blogging..
- "Women Published in the Royal Society" — Another Ada Lovelace day post, this one from Skulls in the Stars..
- "Pwned by a Historian of Science" — Skulls in the Stars revisits his history of optics presentation to amend some of his claims..
- "Darwin/Evolution in C-SPAN's Video Library" — The Dispersal of Darwin reports on his search for Darwin and evolution in C-SPAN video library. Some predictable and some surprising (Michael Shermer appears a couple times, as does R. Dawkins)..
- "The Role of Historians" — a simple prop points to two articles on historians and science. The first is his own piece on historians and the creation/evolution issue: Some Thoughts on Historians and Contemporary Anti-Evolutionism. The second article is Jon Wiener's recent piece in The Nation: Big Tabacco and the Historian.
- "Integration without Differentiation: The Fate of the Natural Philosophy Problem" — No Smörgåsbord is complete without a historiographic post from Ether Wave Propaganda..
- "Looking for Medical Miracles in Medieval Manuscripts" — An interesting article in Der Spiegel on current interest in medieval pharmacopeia..
- "Object Lesson: Pluto's Smallest Neighbors Prove Tough to Find" — A Scientific American article on Kuiper Belt Objects. Unfortunately, the article and its comments have been coöpted by Pluto. The article provides some interesting information. The comments provide amusing and predictable content, some so predictable that they really have become clichés..
- "How is the Date for Easter Calculated?" — From Scientific Blogging offers a brief history of how to calculate Easter, with the requisite undertones of Church dogmatism thwarting scientific reason.

The current Oil and Gas Regulation and Cleanup Fund (formerly called the Oilfield Cleanup Fund) was created by the Texas Legislature in 1991 to use industry fees to plug abandoned wells and remediate abandoned sites statewide that pose a potential high pollution risk. From fiscal year 1992 through fiscal year 2012, the commission has used the fund to plug 29,004 abandoned wells statewide at a cost of $188,311,929. Since fiscal year 1992, the fund also has been used to clean up, assess and investigate 4,950 abandoned oil field sites at a cost of $60,534,744. For fiscal year 2013, the commission has $18.9 million available to plug abandoned wells and clean up abandoned oil field sites.
Chairman Barry Smitherman said, "Most Texas oil and gas operators are responsible and plug their own wells. However, for those wells that have been abandoned, this audit report illustrates that commission staff is responsibly and diligently ranking abandoned wells by risk and administering industry fees to plug and clean up the highest risk abandoned wells and orphaned oil field sites."
Commissioner David Porter said, "As our state continues to enjoy the economic benefits of this current oil boom, it is important for the public to know that the commission has an industry-funded safety net in place to take care of any abandoned high-risk wells and sites. Additionally, we also have in place a risk assessment method to prioritize plugging and cleanup of these sites."
Commissioner Christi Craddick said, "In addition to this industry-financed fund, another vital component of making sure operators take responsibility for their wells is the commission's required financial assurances. The state audit report found that the commission has effective processes and related controls to ensure operators establish and maintain their required bonds or letters of credit."
The State Audit Report key findings include:
· The commission follows a process for prioritizing and recommending oil and gas wells for plugging that incorporates risk-based factors.
· The commission establishes annual operational goals for the number of wells each commission district office should plug.
· The commission has designed and implemented effective processes and related controls to help ensure that regulated entities establish and maintain financial assurances in amounts consistent with state law and administrative rules.
· The commission has adequate processes and controls to help ensure that it sends demand notices to operators that do not submit required annual organizational reports.

Pets on a Budget
by Jonni McCoy
Getting a family pet can be one of the most rewarding things for a child. The pet provides companionship, entertainment and exercise. But sometimes the wrong pet for the family style and needs can be disastrous.
Many pets require a certain type of care. Some dogs, for example, require more money as well as physical interaction and attention than other dogs. Without proper attention, they can start to act strangely, chewing up things and sometimes even biting or growling.
Some other mammals, especially the small ones, don't demand as much and may be better suited for certain people. The smaller mammals, such as rats, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs, are not only less demanding, but also less expensive.
How does one decide if they can afford a pet? When deciding if you can launch into this addition to the family, don't forget to factor in the pet's love it will provide in return. This is something no one can put a price tag on.
After deciding what the initial purchase fee will be, the prospective owner must look at food, vet bills, cage (if required), and any accessories that may be needed. Another consideration is if your family is away from home much. Will pet sitting be a regular expense?
A dog can cost $13,000 over its lifetime. A third of that goes to food, and another third for the vet bills. The other third is spent on training, collars leashes, toys, etc. A cat will cost significantly less, with small mammals, reptiles and fish trailing behind.
Food can be an overwhelming expense if you have a large and active animal, such as a dog. There are ways to get around this expense if you are creative. These have helped us in the past:
- Buy in bulk quantities at discount pet superstores. Check the ingredients to make sure that the first item listed is a meat (chicken, beef, lamb).
- Don't over feed the animal
- Learn to make some of their food - cooking in bulk
That last suggestion may surprise you. When we lived in Nigeria and Pakistan we didn't have the luxury of a supermarket, or canned pet food. Dogs weren't kept as pets there. Therefore, we made all of our pet's feed.
For dog food, we boiled some meat and a bone with some rice and herbs. We added a little healthy oils to the mix for the dog's coat. For a cat, we chopped a few teaspoons of fish, chicken, or egg yolk and mixed it with a tablespoon of cooked rice or oats, a teaspoon of milk or sour cream and a little oil for its coat. There are several recipe books in the library (including Frugal Families) with various meals to make for pets. You can even make your own dry pet food and biscuits.
Vet bills can be an expense we forget to plan for. The average family spends between $100 and $750 per year on their pet. Those unexpected expenses like broken legs, etc. are just things we have to plan for. There are ways to cut some of the routine vet expenses. Here are a few:
- Ask around at pet stores if they host a mobile vaccine clinic in the area. These are usually 75% cheaper than a vet office visit.
- Check with the local Humane Society and find a low-cost spay and neuter clinic: many also offer vaccines at cost only (no office visit charge)
- Practice good health and hygiene. This preventative measure can save hundreds of dollars.
- Ask around what vet prices are. They vary greatly.
- Get videos from the library or find Internet groups that discuss simple home remedies for common ailments, dental cleaning, grooming, and clipping at home.
Our personal favorite for a pet is a rat. They are inexpensive to purchase ($5.00), don't require vaccinations or vet visits, and don't require a great deal of exercise. Surprisingly, they are very social and well tempered. Aside from having a low purchase price, they are also inexpensive to feed. We occasionally buy rabbit food for them, but they do very well on leftover lettuce, carrot tops, carrot peelings, oats, sunflower seeds, and other things we have around the house. We found them a good choice for our rambunctious 4 year old, and have had them as a family addition ever since.
Whatever type of pet that you choose, remember to never trade their safety or health for a few dollars' savings. Love them and treat them well.

Lord Patten of Barnes is a "busted flush" and must resign as the chairman of the BBC Trust after being damaged by scandals over Jimmy Savile and payoffs to executives, according to Greg Dyke, the broadcaster's former director-general.
"The BBC has a problem in the sense it's got a busted flush as chairman," he said. "I am surprised (Patten) is still there. It would probably help if he wasn't."
Mr Dyke, who ran the corporation between January 2000 and 2004 and is now chairman of the Football Association, denounced the confusion in the BBC's leadership and called for its supporters

All parent member reviews for Yes, Virginia
Parents say
(out of 4 reviews)
age 3+
Review this title!
Good for tweens and older, terrible for toddlers and little kids.
This movie is a terrible film for children to watch. The animation is wonderful, but the content is not at all what the parents of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10-year-olds want their children to watch. The entire film provides only proof that Santa doesn't exist. That is NOT the idea I want to perpetuate. The idea behind the film; that the spirit of Christmas and Santa lives in the good deeds and good will exhibited by all, is a good one. However, it in not a concept that young children can grasp and all they walk away with is a lot of proof that there is no Santa. Even the father hems and haws to try to fashion an answer for little Virginia. This film is better reserved for pre-teens and older.

Great show, just be prepared to defend Santa...
My 5-year-old loved it. It's a very short show, with a nice message. Though, you should be aware that there are parts where a big kid is trying to convince the little kids that Santa doesn't exist. My daughter immediately turned to me for confirmation that he does exist... which is uncomfortable. She WANTS to believe in Santa.

A senior winning the Heisman Trophy? Stop it. It's not as if it that's happened only once in the past decade. Remember that memorable Troy Smith season in 2006? Yes, that was the last time it happened.
Since then, the old men on campus haven't been so lucky.
However, there is a great case to be made for a senior breaking that streak this season.
It nearly happened last season with Boston College running back Andre Williams breaking the 2,000-yard mark. While Williams didn't win the award, it was progress for the increasingly rare breed of senior skill position players.
It begs the question—who will carry the torch for the senior class in 2014? Let's take a look at 10 candidates who could do just that.

2008 Nishina Memorial Prize -
Study of antiprotonic helium atoms
Nishina Memorial Prize - It is a great honor for me to receive the 2008 Nishina Memorial Prize for the study of antiprotonic helium atoms, work done since 1997This is when we formed the collaboration, and submitted a proposal to CERN. We started to take data in 2001. with my ASACUSA collaborators at CERN's antiproton decelerator facility. The Nishina Memorial Foundation was established in 1955 to commemorate Dr. Yoshio Nishina (1890-1951), the father of atomic & subatomic physics in Japan, whose name is well known from the Klein-Nishina formula in Compton scattering. The prize, awarded annually by the Foundation, is the most prestigious physics award in JapanAmong the recipients are the Nobel laureates Esaki, Koshiba, Kobayashi & Maskawa..
Weighing the antiproton - Transition frequencies of antiprotonic helium atoms depend on the properties of the antiproton. Measuring them therefore determines these properties with precision commensurate with that of the measuring technique, which for laser spectroscopy can be extremely high. This has enabled us, among other things, to 'weigh' the antiproton, resulting in the most precise value to date for the antiproton-to-electron mass ratio -- so precise in fact that our value now contributes to the "2006 CODATA recommended values" of fundamental physics constantsSection 4 of P.J. Mohr, B.N. Taylor and D.B. Newell, "CODATA recommended values of the fundamental physical constants: 2006", Rev. Mod. Phys. 80, 633 (2008) reads: "Atomic transition frequencies in hydrogen, deuterium, and antiprotonic helium yield information on the Rydberg constant...."..
CERN, but not LHC - Although our experiment is done at CERN, it differs enormously from experiments done with the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The LHC experiments are gigantic, while ours is quite modest both in the 'human-sized' scale of the apparatus and in the number of collaboratorsThe number of coauthors of our paper, Hori et al., Physical Review Letters 96, 243401 (2006), which contributed to the CODATA 2006 values, is twelve.. Moreover It is not just the size which is different, but also the style, as was eloquently depicted by T.W. Hänsch, the 2005 Nobel laureate (see the figure). In goal-oriented research like the LHC experiments, the goal is known to everybody, and has to be conquered at whatever cost. On the other hand curiosity-driven research works quite differently. In our case, we started to work on antiprotonic helium because we wanted to understand the mysterious longevity of antiprotons in helium, and we never at first dreamed of measuring the antiproton mass as precise as the proton mass back then.
Can't thank enough - I cannot thank enough to my long-term ASACUSA collaborators, in particular, Drs. Masaki Hori, Eberhard Widmann and Dezső Horváth, with whom I have recently published a review paper entitled "Antiprotonic helium and CPT invariance" (Reports on Progress in Physics 70, 1995-2065 (2007).). Thanks are also due to Dr. Vladimir Korobov; without his precise calculations, we cannot deduce the antiproton to electron mass ratio from our measured laser-transition frequencies.
I would like to thank the two medical doctors, Drs. Nakata and Kohno of Torano-mon hospital, who in 2000 diagnosed (well-differentiated adenocarcinoma) and treated (right upper lobectomy) my lung cancer. Recent CT scans show that my lungs are clean.
I am grateful to my family. It was fortunate that I could convey this news to my father, who has been fighting acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) since last year.

Wyoming Hears of Commission that Predicted 9/11 Attacks
Laramie, Wy – A former U-S Senator and member of the National Security Commission says that commission warned of terrorist attacks on American soil two years before 9-11. Gary Hart told this to an audience on the campus of the University of Wyoming. He also says he's shocked no one was fired after the attacks.
The National Security Commission Hart sat on started work in October of 1998 and reported to Presidents Bush and Clinton about imminent attacks that could mean thousands of civilian casualties.

Re: Dangerous Situations
These are all very interesting stories. There is a bit of irony that I think needs to be addressed. Why is it that we train martial arts, and are still expected to accept violation of self or others? Why is it that when a martial artist, rightfully puts the craft to its proper function, "stopping violence," there is criticism? Frankly, Aikido people can be a bit lofty in that regard. I say, don't start any, and there won't be any. I have done a lot of meaningless mean stuff to people in my past youth, and honestly every time was in defense of self or another. And I always made a point to give the person a way out, to deescalate. It's in their hands at that point. I have never seriously hurt anyone, and I have never been hurt (knock on wood). And in the cases that I had run into that person again, for better or worse, they had reflected on their conduct, for the better.
I made an effort, years ago, to tell some of these stories on an old blog in mind, with the idea that there was something to learn from those experiences, and not just about fighting, but about proper conduct. I got a lot of crap about it from people, but, it is what it is. It's easy to judge negatively. I have seen people, good people, close to me, talk about martial arts as just an expression of violence, done by violent people who are simply overcompensating for some defect in their personality. I have heard those same people say "I wish you were here the other night; I really could have used your help."
Violence is a short term solution to an immediate problem, and is only justified in response to, or the prevention of violence. It's almost that simple.

Shame about the drains.
You don't expect a lot when paying about £32 for a hotel room in the middle of a city, but you can hope it will be quiet and not to smell of blocked drains.
Any house or hotel can have a problem from time to time but the fact that the nice receptionist was apparently unaware of it suggests to me that it may not be unusual, which is why I feel that I should warn others. I arrived too late and tired to make a complaint, hoping the smell would pass but it didn't. The extract fan giving the only ventilation worked hard and noisily non-stop, which didn't help. The comfort and facilities were absolutely fine for the price.

What's with Joe Lieberman?
Less than two months ago, when Al Gore tapped Lieberman as his vice-presidential running mate, pundits predicted the Connecticut senator would put the nation to sleep. Sure, he has integrity, they said, but he's hardly any more animated a campaigner than the termite-ridden Gore.
Well, big surprise: the Gore-Lieberman ticket has surged. This week's polls point to a neck-and-neck race, or even a modest lead for the Democrats.
And Joe Lieberman, the experts agree, has connected with the public in a big way, a major factor in the ticket's changing fortunes.
What has Lieberman brought to the electoral mix that has sent a jolt through the Gore campaign? Here are a few answers.
Lieberman, the first Jew on a major party ticket, is incredibly grateful that he was picked for this honor and not at all reluctant to show it.
Gore comes across as the plodding, hyper-serious career politician who doesn't have a life outside government. His opponent, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, is the genial preppy, but he is so tightly scripted by his handlers that his affability seems like just another campaign pose.
Lieberman is like a kid who never expected to be where he is and is enjoying every second of it.Some of Lieberman's gee-whiz enthusiasm may be artifice. He is a tough, ambitious politician who has had his eyes set on higher office since he came to Washington in 1989.
Still, there's something refreshing about a candidate who doesn't pretend he's just running because the other guys are so bad or because it's the only thing he knows how to do.
And voters may be tiring of the bitter partisanship that has gridlocked Washington for the past six years. The low-key Lieberman, liked and admired by colleagues on both sides of the aisle, offers them something else, and they seem to be in a buying mood.
When he was selected, some Jews worried that his Orthodox Judaism would trigger an outpouring of anti-Semitism.
Quite the opposite has happened. Lieberman's overt religiosity, spotlighted by the candidate himself, has struck a responsive chord among non-Jewish voters who want religious values to play more of a role in official decision making but are scared of the Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells, who are seen as promoting narrowly sectarian agendas.
Lieberman's Orthodoxy is also a novelty that's proven irresistible to reporters bored with the other candidates.
Reporters can't go wrong writing about Lieberman's Shabbat adventures or how he'll handle the High Holy Days, but they have to handle these stories gently to avoid even the appearance of criticizing Judaism. And his Judaism provides some protection against the late-night talk-show lambasting that, increasingly, helps shape images of candidates.
In one of the year's most bizarre twists, the only Americans who have made an issue of Lieberman's Judaism are vocal clusters of right-wing Orthodox Jews, backed by vehemently anti-Gore conservatives, who argue he isn't really Orthodox.
Numerous reporters have pointed out that Al Gore seems more animated and more able to connect with voters when he's around Lieberman. That's why the campaign has staged a number of joint appearances instead of keeping them apart to cover as much geographical ground as possible.
There's a personal chemistry here that is interesting to watch; the Bush-Dick Cheney partnership is dull in comparison. Lieberman livens up the Gore act; Cheney, a plodding, unhappy-appearing campaigner, seems to be a drag on Bush, who doesn't give any indication he's as pleased with his vice-presidential choice as Gore is with his.
Degrees of Separation
Both presidential candidates are trying to live down their pasts.
Gore needs to distance himself from Bill Clinton. Lieberman's presence on the Democratic ticket makes it much harder for the Republicans to use their Monica super-weapon, and it helps Gore more effectively exploit his biggest advantage - the strong economy.
Bush wants badly to live down his political heredity, but as the campaign progresses, he sounds more and more like his dad, right down to the eminently quotable malapropisms.
And at his side is Cheney, a living link to the vanquished administration of George H.W. Bush.
Cheney, the senior Bush's defense secretary, even looks old, especially compared to the boyish Lieberman. With Cheney on the ticket, the Democrats don't have to speak it aloud: If you liked the first Bush administration, you'll love the second.
By selecting the boyish, Jewish Lieberman, Gore instantly created the impression that something fresh is in the political wind. By choosing Cheney, Bush emphasized his links to a Republican establishment in Washington going back to Richard Nixon.
Cheney, too, was a fresh face - but it was back in the 1970s, when he was President Gerald Ford's chief of staff.

The lazy days of summer are anything but for many Americans. Unopened e-mails, "to-do" lists, family responsibilities and outdoor chores.
The July issue of Shape Magazine offered these four suggestions to help people learn to live a balanced life, to discover their priorities and to gain time and energy, according to information from Fiona McRobert of SHAPE.
Check your e-mail less often. Don't use it as a procrastination tool and leave stressful tasks to pile up. Check it every half hour or hour at work and daily at home.
Pen in your priorities: Spend time with family? Finish a personal project? Do your crunches? To minimize invasions on your time, write down on your calendar what you wish to accomplish in the next four to seven days. Then, saying "no" to other requests becomes less about saying "no" to people and more about saying "yes" to things where you've predetermined your time.
Work out on your way to work. Consider incorporating exercise into your day by walking or riding your bike to work. Many converts have discovered that their once-dreaded commute can be the best part of their day.
Live in a smaller place: Smaller spaces are not only warmer and more inviting, they also require less maintenance. A rule of thumb for living simply: Choose a home that has only as many rooms as you use every day.
