The Alec Baldwin Full Employment Act.
By Amitabh Pal
There is good news—sort of—from Japan on the nuclear front.
"Japan said Friday that it would seek to phase out nuclear power by 2040—a historic shift for a country that has long staked its future on such energy, but one that falls far short of the decisive steps the government had promised in the wake of the world's second-largest nuclear plant disaster last year," reports the New York Times. "Although the long-awaited energy policy was named the 'Revolutionary Energy and Environment Strategy' by its authors, it extended the expected transition away from nuclear power by at least a decade and includes caveats that appear to allow some plants to operate for decades past even the new deadline."
Even then, the Japanese government's decision is a welcome step. And it is a testament to the steadfastness of the Japanese people, who have never relaxed their pressure on the authorities in the year and a half since the Fukushima catastrophe. Protesters have regularly besieged the streets of Tokyo, with their numbers reaching into the tens of thousands a number of times. They compelled Japan to briefly go off of nuclear power this summer, and let their displeasure be known when the government restarted a couple of reactors soon afterward. The demonstrators are still not happy with the tardy transition timeline.
"They're ignoring the terror that many of us feel toward nuclear power," Kumi Tomiyasu, a protesters at a rally in front of the Japanese prime minister's office, told the New York Times. "By sticking with nuclear for so long, the government has put the interests of power companies and big business above those of the Japanese people."
By making even a tentative move toward denuclearization, Japan has joined a number of other countries. Germany, Switzerland and Italy have all committed themselves against nuclear energy. And The Guardian reported some months ago that there have been only two new nuclear projects in the past year worldwide, as compared to thirty-eight in the previous two years.
Even in bastions of nuclear power, things are starting to shake up. In France, a country heavily dependent on nuclear energy, the Socialist government has, in a significant concession to the Greens, the junior coalition partner, hastened the decommissioning of a nuclear generation plant. And in North America, the nuclear industry has suffered a couple of setbacks.
"A new government in Quebec will shut Gentilly II," writes activist Harvey Wasserman. "In California, new reports on the cold San Onofre 2 & 3 indicate deep problems that make a re-start more doubtful than ever."
The nuclear march has also slowed in the global giants. China took a time out from new nuclear construction in the wake of Fukushima. And protests in India (predictably met with harsh repression) have put in question the government's plans to dramatically expand nuclear generation.
But more needs to be done, and citizens need to be mobilized and educated. That's why a coming rally in the United States is an encouraging sign.
"Riding the wave of anti-nuclear news is a September 20-22 series of D.C. events organized by the Coalition Against Nukes," Wasserman informs us. "With activists convening from around the United States and Japan, the gathering promises to lend the No Nukes movement new focus."
The time to transition away from nuclear power and fossil fuels to clean renewables is now—and people around the world need to let their governments know that.

Trump's politics are not the problem.
The fiery Milwaukee Sheriff is on the shortlist to head the Department of Homeland Security.
By Wendell Berry
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

Skip to comments.Congress moves toward saving A-10 jets at Selfridge
Posted on 05/26/2012 8:42:17 AM PDT by equaviator
The effort to preserve Selfridge Air National Guard Bases 24 A-10 aircraft gained some altitude Thursday when the Senate Armed Services Committee embraced a provision that would block budget cuts to the Air National Guard.
Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said his committee had unanimously approved an annual defense bill that rejects proposals to eliminate Air National Guard aircraft and personnel across the nation, including proposed cuts at Michigan bases.
The cuts proposed by the Air Force would have eliminated the A-10 jets in the 107th Fighter Squadron at Selfridge and the 560 military and civilian jobs that keep the unit running plus the plan would have pulled the plug on a plan to station C-27J cargo aircraft in Battle Creek.
The Air National Guard performs an extremely important function, and its capabilities should not be casually or precipitously changed, Levin said at a Capitol Hill news conference held with the committees top Republican, Sen. John McCain of Arizona. The Air Force proposal, which disproportionately affected the Air National Guard, was ill-conceived and unjustified. Our bill rejects the Air Forces proposal and takes steps to prevent a repeat of such poorly thought-out proposals.
The language of the Senate committee provision is nearly identical to the wording approved by the House earlier this month in their version of the defense bill. That will be welcome news to the military personnel on the Harrison Township base and to the Selfridge Base Community Council, which has been lobbying aggressively to save the 107th Fighter Squadron.
Under the Senate committees version of the National Defense Authorization Act, the fiscal year 2013 spending plan would block the Air Force from divesting, retiring or transferring aircraft assigned to the Air National Guard or Air Force Reserves. It also halts any plans to reduce manpower in the Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves.
That amounts to a $1.4 billion revision in the Pentagon budget. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who wants to eliminate five A-10 squadrons, has complained that the House bill contains too many pet projects and actually raises defense spending by $8 billion, instead of cutting.
Overall, the Obama administration seeks to chop Defense Department spending by $487 billion over 10 years.
Thursdays vote marked the first time since the threat of Selfridge losing the A-10s emerged in March that Levin and Rep. Candice Miller, a Harrison Township Republican, appeared to be on the same page. Miller said she was pleased that GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina had introduced an amendment that would further broaden the protections for a certain Air Guard aircraft. That move would indicate bipartisan support for a freeze on Guard cuts.
While protecting jobs in communities across the nation were certainly a primary reason to fight the cuts, another is that the proposed cuts simply made no sense from a budgetary perspective since the Air Guard provides 35 percent of the (Pentagon) air capability for only 6 percent of the cost, Miller said in a statement.
It is unfortunate that the Air Force and the secretary of defense would not work with 49 governors and every adjutant general of the National Guard across the nation to find a balanced approach to make needed cuts in the Pentagons budget that was acceptable to all.
As in the House, the Senate Armed Services Committee also took a long-range approach, favoring the establishment of a National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force. Lawmakers in the House and Senate were unhappy with the lack of analysis and justification for the Air Force proposals to let proposed reductions fall more heavily on the Air National Guard.
According to Levins staff, the independent commission would consist of eight members, four appointed by the president and four appointed by the Democratic and Republican leadership of the armed services committees in the Senate and House. After completing a cost-benefit analysis of active duty units vs. National Guard squadrons, it would report back to Congress by March 31, 2013.
In the short term, the committee bill goes to the full Senate for approval. Then a House-Senate conference committee would iron out differences between the versions approved by the two legislative chambers. From there, final approval by the House and Senate would follow and the bill would be sent to president Obama for his signature.
Drop the expensive and failed F-35 program, stock up on F-22 for air superiority, and get thousands of A-10s, F-16s, and F-18s for ground attack.
Honestly, what can replace an A-10? It's such a unique machine.
the air force has been trying to kill the a-10 for years. it was never sexy enough for them.
Nothing like a GAU-8 to ruin your whole day!
The guys on the ground sure seem to love them. A hog can get right in there and root out a hotspot with real precision.
I remember seeing a story out of Fallujah where soldiers were literally pointing to targets for the A-10s to take out.
Awesome!Thnx for the pics.
"the air force has been trying to kill the a-10 for years."
It's not supersonic, it has straight wings, and it works. That's not good enough for them.
I have spoken to VietNam era Skyraider pilots who told me that plane's ordnance load capability was greater than the weight of the entire plane. Of course, that one has a propeller so it would NEVER be considered, no matter how good it is for supporting the grunts on the ground.
As a retired military officer, I can say you hit the nail squarely on the head. I can't count the number of times the Air Force has tried to get rid of the A-10, only to admit (grudgingly) that there's nothing to replace it. At one point, they actually touted something called the A-16, and even equipped at least one guard outfit with that aircraft.
Just a few problems with that theory; the Hog has 12 hardpoints on its wing; the F-16 has only nine. And, when you consider that the Viper's wingtip stations can only carry air-to-air missiles (and you've got to have a least one fuel tank for the F-16 to have any range), there's even less room for ordnance. And of course, there's no comparison between the 20 mm cannon on the Viper (with only 500 rounds of ammunition) and the GAU-8.
Sadly, we'll never re-start production of the A-10. The Fairchild line was shut down in 1984 and the tooling was sold or destroyed. It would be far too expensive to re-create that capability. However, with many of the remaining A-10s in the Air National Guard, the Hog has a lot of friends in Congress. That's one reason that more than 200 have been re-winged, and received a precision weapons capability.
I always thought the Army should get them.
A little A-10 action
We had A-10s at Willow Grove, PA. Closed. I miss them a lot. Watch the videos of them in action on youtube and can't get over the unique sound of their weapons.
When production was stopped the tooling for the A-10 was scrapped. The planes currently flying are the last of the breed and are dependent on cleaver crew chief's and shot up hulks to keep them in the air.
If the military were to resurrect the A-10 (a great idea IMHO! no R&D required) it would of necessity require starting from scratch.
Any A10s that are not wanted may be donated to me.
I love that second pic.
'See this gun? Make it fly, and make it survivable!'
I Guess they've never seen one flying at a 90° angle through a mountain pass
Or, the Marines. Does anyone know if an A-10 has ever taken off or landed on a carrier? It seems like it would handle that well.
During Desert Storm, their 24 F-16A/B aircraft were equipped to carry the General Electric GPU-5/A Pave Claw pod on the centerline station. The pod houses a 30mm GAU-13/A four-barrel derivative of the seven-barrel GAU-8/A cannon used by the A-10A, and 353 rounds of ammunition. The aircraft received the new designation F/A-16, and were the only F-16s ever to be equipped with this weapon, intended for use against a variety of battlefield targets, including armor.
I'd actually like to see the A-10 cannon fitted to a larger version of the Predator drone.
F16's and F18's are too fast for ground support, the range is too short, and their gun is too small. We always loved having the A10 overhead just for their loiter time and the amount of ordinance they could carry.
Disgusting, isn't it?
It's their most successful ground support platform but year after year they keep trying to kill it.
Apparently the Air Force doesn't want the close air support mission anymore.
The Marine Corps did look at getting them, but (If I remember right) the frame is not rigid and the wings don't fold (both are needed to be aircraft carrier capable).
Not seriously. Even when Congress mandated, prior to Desert Shield, that A-10s be transferred to both the Marine Corps and the Army, the Corps wanted no part of it.
Take what you read there with a liberal dose of skepticism.
If they had UCAV's over the Road to Basra ('91), could the results have been any better?

Attorney general attends criminal's birthday party
If New York elects a governor named Cuomo, it's like America electing another president named Carter. It shows an unwillingness to learn. It will probably make us yearn for the few months of that governor who slept with hookers. Or that other governor who put the squeeze on a battered woman. Please, New Yorkers, don't do it.
yeah, I was watching the news in disbelief – looking at all those people, including our beloved 3-times mayor, pledging allegiance to a common thief and couldn't help thinking: he has a folder on each and every one of them. their appearance @ Rangel's party is practically an admittance of some sort of wrong-doing.
So transparent and shameless.
NYS Governor race is like a nightmare. Stuck on the train tracks with a locomotive coming and no way to get off the tracks.
Is there any chance he does not win?
Can we find out which hookers he's going with ?Posted by: Dan Dee Man at August 16, 2010 at 1:48 pm
I escaped NY during the Pataki regime.
Of course they're going to elect that fool.
Recall that NYC voters voted for term limits.
Recall that Bloomberg and his City Council buddies decided they didn't like what the voters wanted so they blew it off.
And recall that those very same tools who told NYC voters to go screw, were re-elected.
And you think voting for a Cuomo again is going to make them bat an eye?
After watching decades of NYS pols being as blatantly and stupidly slimy as anything outside Louisiana while being re-elected (both parties), well, noting NY voters do would surprise me.
You know, unless they kicked all the bums out. That would surprise me.Posted by: Veeshir at August 30, 2010 at 9:32 am

The Alec Baldwin Full Employment Act.
The know nothings in the anti-Shariah law campaign in this country recently got their comeuppance in Oklahoma.
U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange issued on August 15 an injunction against a voter-approved 2010 constitutional amendment forbidding the consideration of Shariah law in the legal system of the state.
"While the public has an interest in the will of the voters being carried out, the court finds that the public has a more profound and long-term interest in upholding an individual's constitutional rights," the judge wrote.
Funded and driven by far-right groups that have found a sympathetic home among a significant portion of the GOP, the anti-Shariah campaign is thinly disguised bigotry that preys on fears and prejudices.
In her ruling, Miles-LaGrange hit the nail on the head when she observed that attorneys defending the amendment had admitted that "they did not know of any instance where an Oklahoma court had applied Shariah law or used the legal precepts of other nations or cultures."
For her wisdom, the judge was subjected to race-baiting by a prime author of the amendment, former state senator Rex Duncan. "It didn't come as a great surprise that a constitutional amendment that in effect tried to close the door on special treatment for a minority ideology or religion would be seen as her as hostile and I think that's how she saw it, as a threat to the founding principles of our country, and she just went out of her way to side with the minorities and make up a reason for it," he said in a not-so-thinly disguised reference to the fact that Miles-LaGrange is African American.
Duncan's nastiness was possibly motivated by the fact that the judge managed to get to the heart of the matter: Why all this fussing over a nonexistent danger?
Or as political comedian and activist Dean Obeidallah said in a reference to a similar attempt in North Carolina, "A law that would ban Islamic law from being imposed on the state's courts raises the question: What invisible threat are you guys so scared of?"
"Shariah law may be a problem in some Islamic countries, but not a possibility in secular America," Herb Silverman of the Secular Coalition for America writes in a more solemn vein in the Washington Post. "That hasn't stopped legislators, including some in my home state of South Carolina, from introducing bills to prevent Shariah law from being imposed on us."
As Silverman points out, the very lawmakers inveighing against Muslim religious laws are the ones imposing religious doctrine on their own states.
"S.C. state senator Mike Fair, a conservative Christian, introduced such a bill," he says. "His other bills have included mandating that sex education classes teach abstinence only, and that homosexual behavior is unnatural, unhealthy and illegal. An anti-evolutionist, he would also encourage public school teachers to critique evolution in their classrooms. Ironically, such bills sound a lot more like what you might expect from an Islamic country than a secular one."
A recent tactic that these folks have cleverly embraced is to couch their efforts as "anti-foreign law," not campaigns to target Muslims.
"The new bills are more vague and mention only foreign laws, with no references to Shariah or Islam," reports Omar Sacirbey for Religion News Service. "They also make specific exceptions for international trade. All of that makes them harder to challenge as a violation of religious freedom."
The Oklahoma judge laid bare the absurdity of such a ruse. "It is abundantly clear that the primary purpose of the amendment was to specifically target and outlaw Shariah law and to act as a preemptive strike against Shariah law to protect Oklahoma from a perceived 'threat' of Shariah law being utilized in Oklahoma courts," she wrote.
Judge Miles-LaGrange struck an important blow for equal rights and nondiscrimination. Her judgment should slow down anti-Shariah law efforts in the rest of the country.

Former supermodel Emme is part of a new campaign to help people feel better about the skin they're in. As the first full-figure supermodel, she's a champion of what she calls the "diversity of beauty"—including beauty at any size. Now, she's fighting size discrimination in the doctor's office. Her message? "No one should ever be put into a position that they feel shame in their doctor's office, no matter what!"
Almost 70% of overweight and obese women say they've experienced weight bias in the doctor's office, according to research from the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University. And as many as 81% of dietetic students—the next generation of RDs who will be on the front lines of fighting the obesity crisis—have prejudices about overweight and obese people, according to a new study from Rudd, published this month in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. No wonder so many of us are nervous about sitting across from a skinny-minny dietitian!
This isn't just a matter of political correctness: Stereotypes and discrimination stand in the way of getting the medical care you need. Providers who aren't sensitive aren't putting your needs first. And, ironically, not all doctors are in tip-top shape.
If you are afraid to go to the doctor because you're nervous about how you look, then you're less likely to go and less likely to receive important screenings. I once had a technician get frustrated with me once during a mammogram. She might not run into a pair of DD's everyday, but I don't want to hear her complain about it, especially when I'm the one getting poked and prodded. It certainly didn't make me look forward to future mammograms!
If you do go, self-consciousness about your weight might make it hard to talk about your concerns. Size discrimination doesn't simply affect overweight and obese patients. "Weight bias keeps fear in a size 4 woman for being a size 4, even when she's 5'11," Emme said in a phone interview.
Take charge of your health care
Obesity can be a tough topic to breach, for doctors and patients. So Emme made an educational video for docs and other health-care providers. (She's also done one about children, families, and weight bias; I'll blog about that soon.) If you're on the flip side—a patient who's nervous about what the doc or nurse will say once you're in that lovely paper gown—here are some ways you can take control and get the (sensitive!) care you need, courtesy of The Rudd Center:
- Nervous about stepping on the scale? If your weight is pretty much the same since your last visit, say so, and say you'd rather not be weighed. If it's necessary, though, you can stand on the scale backward so you won't see the numbers.
- Ask a good friend to go to appointments with you.
- Be direct about how you want to talk about your size. You can include everything from how often you want to be weighed, what words you'd like to use when referring to your size, and how you want to talk about your weight when it's a factor in your condition.
- Don't brush off a clear case of size bias. Instead, speak with the patient advocate—nearly every health-care center and hospital has one.
Does any of this ring true to you? I would really like to hear the struggles and frustrations (and rants!) about your experiences…and how you cope.

Eldar Djangirov: Three Stories
The album is Eldar's first solo piano recordingand first, incidentally, to feature his full name on the cover (whether this signals an attempt to move away from the one-name moniker he has favored heretofore is unclear). He opens, appropriately enough, with a full minute's worth of classical flourishes, before advancing the melody of "I Should Care" in any sustained manner. But even then, the linear course is brief. The tune having been established, Eldar is off to the races, but it's a neck-and-neck gallop between classical and ragtime motifs. And a brief pause is all that separates this standard of popular music and Bach's "Prelude in C# Major"the exuberant runs that course Bach's piece stemming, seemingly, from Cahn's to bore into the German heart and emerge not much later as the dust from Tchaikovsky's "Sugar Plum Fairy" sprinkling over Van Heusen's "Darn That Dream." The high-end, raspy plunkings that form the sleepy melody of "Dream" constitute, perhaps, the album's most inspired crossing of musical tracks.
Other highlights include a take on Monk's classic celebratory piece, "In Walked Bud," here rendered with a deep undercurrent of pain, an abiding melancholy (if yet shy of all-out misery), stabbing dully but consistently at the daily effort of coming and goingof sitting, of waiting, of walking ineven as the motion surges inevitably ahead. Gershwin's "Embraceable You" is achingly beautiful, romantic and maybe too sweetly sentimental for somethe crush of heavily scented rosesbut the piece never lacks for intelligence. And when Eldar reaches the "Rhapsody" apex, the entire weave of musical stories comes to seem an undressing of Gershwin's mind, his brain rattling the "musical kaleidoscope of America" on a train ride to Boston. Tchaikovsky and Scriabin are dead. Stravinsky's in flower. And the tracks race into America for all the wild vagabonds to jump onboard. Eldar stitches his one-man concerto with improvised "orchestral" fills, allowing the glimpse of a time, not far off, when the soloist will rage over the stateliness of symphonies ragtime-infused or not. It hardly seems an accident that the pianist closes his album with a Charlie Parker tune.
Track Listing: I Should Care; Prelude in C# Major; Darn That Dream; Windows; Etude Op. 2 No. 1; In Walked Bud; Three Stories; So Damn Lucky; Embraceable You; Russian Lullaby; Air on a G String; Impromptu; Rhapsody in Blue; Donna Lee.

The reason I was asking about your care situation, is because some moms can juggle around the times of feeds/bottles so that the DCP does not need to use quite as much milk.
Do you know how late the DCP gives dd her last bottle? Could she try to hold her off, and then you could nurse her right when you get there? What I am thinking is that maybe you could suggest trying smaller amounts during the day. Instead of giving her two six ounce bottles at say 10 and 2, could you try this:
Leave the house a few minutes earlier and shoot for a feeding at the sitter's. Would she nurse for you again at 7am, or a little before...maybe if you tweaked that 6 am feeding. Then she might be able to make til closer to 11 am before the first bottle. Then she could try 3oz. If she wants more then try 1 more oz. or 2, but not a full 6 all at once. So if she took the bottle at 11 am, could she take the next bottle at 3pm? Again, shooting for a little less to start. Then when you get there right at 5 offer to nurse her before you head home.
You have two potential helpers here. Offering less milk at a time, and getting her to nurse possibly an extra time during the day, which would be great for your supply, plus helpful for stretching out the EBM that you have for the day.
These are just thoughts and ideas that have worked for some moms in you situation. Please let me know what you think!

When the Green Bay Packers signed linebacker A.J. Hawk to a big contract last season, many questioned GM Ted Thompson's decision to do so. Suffice to say, the contract hasn't led to better play.
However, Hawk isn't the only Packer with an especially bad contract. As with every team, Green Bay has some pretty big salary numbers for players who don't quite deserve it.
Who else, besides A.J. Hawk, is one of the top five players with the worst contracts on the Green Bay Packers?
Note: Contract information taken from Rotoworld's Green Bay website.

UFC 155 marks the end of Zuffa's cursed year. A year where everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. A year marred by so many injuries that most events were unrecognizable compared to the original booking.
It was headlined by a heavyweight showdown between Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez for the UFC heavyweight title. In a fight that many expected to end early, the two fought tooth and nail for the full five rounds.
It was Velasquez who walked away victorious after an absolutely dominant performance.
The card also featured a Fight of the Decade candidate in Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller. After the first three bouts on the card threatened to put the arena to sleep, these lightweights put on an absolute classic.
It seemed like it was going to be finished early in the first when Miller opened up a horrible cut over Lauzon's eye. However, by sheer grit and determination, the Massachusetts native was able to fight on and make the bout competitive.
With the night over, let's take a look and grade the performances of all the main-card fighters.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Watch out Mr. Hare: This tortoise is shell on wheels.
A 12-year-old African tortoise who recently had his front left leg amputated due to injury is now moving just fine, thanks to a swiveling wheel attached to his shell by doctors at Washington State University's veterinary hospital.
The 23-pound tortoise, named "Gamera" after the giant flying turtle of the old Japanese monster movies, is gaining weight and generally thriving with his new appendage.Story: Lucky the injured turtle gets coasters for feet
"I don't know whether he'd pass the hare, but he moves around very well," said Charlie Powell, spokesman for WSU's veterinary hospital in Pullman, Wash.

The nearly teenage mutant turtle is particularly good at moving toward food, and has gained 3 pounds since the wheel was attached, Powell said.

The caster-style wheel should last for years before it has to be replaced, he said.
Powell said that because the wheel swivels like a caster, it allows Gamera to move well on both flat and lumpy surfaces like lawns.13 true 'tails' of survival
The African spur-thighed tortoise was brought to the WSU hospital in April by its owner, suffering from a severe leg injury with an unknown cause, WSU officials said. The injury was life-threatening, so the leg was amputated at the shoulder.Video: 'All-terrain tortoise' cruises on one wheel (on this page)
Veterinarians attached the wheel to the tortoise's shell using an epoxy adhesive, and the animal took to the new device immediately, WSU officials said.
The tortoise is part of a larger group called sulcata tortoises that are popular as exotic pets in the United States. The largest such tortoise on record topped 232 pounds. The oldest known sulcata tortoise in captivity is 56 years old.

President Obama Continues to Bully Catholic Nuns
WASHINGTON – Today the Department of Justice (DOJ) responded to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's temporary emergency relief for the Little Sisters of the Poor against the HHS Mandate, requiring the Catholic nuns to pay for abortion drugs, contraceptives, and sterilization. Unlike the DOJ's previous arguments, it insists that the injunction should be lifted because of alleged remedies within ObamaCare. Representative Tim Huelskamp (KS-01) issued the following response:
"The Justice Department's response comes as no shock. It is deeply disturbing that this President and Attorney General are forcefully defending and upholding ObamaCare and its HHS Mandate which directly infringes upon the constitutional rights and religious liberties of people of faith, particularly the Little Sisters of the Poor. This lawless Administration has once again demonstrated it will choose which provisions of ObamaCare it will enforce and which ones it will ignore. In this case, they are willfully choosing to continue their war on Christianity and people of faith. This action is despicable, and it remains my hope that the Court will side with the Constitution and the American people."

Picture the following scenario: You're an IT manager at a small- to mid-sized System i (aka AS/400, iSeries, or System i5) shop. You love System i. It's secure. It's simple to administer and use. And it never breaks down. Combined, these factors translate into a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
There's just one problem. Your System i box appears to be running out of horsepower. Interactive jobs are slow and running up against capacity constraints. Due to ever-expanding information processing demands in your company, response times for interactive jobs will soon be unacceptable, if that's not already the case. You'd like to upgrade your System i server, but you don't have a budget for that, and it will be months, at best, before you can get the necessary funds approved and then buy and install the new server. Depending on the nature of your System i processing load, MAX400 may provide an answer to this dilemma.
MAX400 was developed about three years ago by MAX400 Company Ltd., a South Korean firm that also created a number of other System i-based products, including MAXPDA, MAXWEB, and MAXFILE. Until recently, sales of MAX400 were limited to the Asia-Pacific region, close to the developer's headquarters. However, the company recently expanded sales of MAX400 worldwide, and the software is now marketed in North America by California-based Fax*Star, a division of Sepe Inc.
OS/400 and i5/OS include a governor, CFINT, which is an internal task that handles system interrupts and intentionally consumes CPU resources in order to slow interactive activity to predefined levels. There is one CFINT task (named CFINT01, CFINT02, etc.) for each processor. MAX400 tunes System i processes to avoid the CFINT governor restraints and, therefore, maximizes the resources available to interactive jobs, thereby avoiding the artificial constraints placed on them.
How does MAX400 overcome these operating limits? In effect, it tells the operating system to treat interactive jobs as if they were batch jobs. It thus maximizes the Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) available to interactive jobs, without the need to purchase and install any additional System i features. Consequently, you can use MAX400 to inexpensively provide interactive jobs with additional capacity during peak demand times.
One important aspect to note about MAX400 is that it does not modify IBM Licensed Internal Code (LIC). In fact, because the software is not written into the IBM code, if you IPL your system, you will have to resubmit the MAX400 job if you want to continue running it. Furthermore, because it is an independent utility, if you want to uninstall MAX400, you simply delete it from the system. Then, when you IPL the system, there will be no trace of MAX400 on the system.
So what is MAX400? It's a small utility that scans the system at regular intervals and resets certain flags within jobs that indicate whether the job has sent I/O to a display device. When these flags are turned on, the job may be slowed down by the CFINT governor, depending on the preset interactive limits defined by the server model. The operating system does this by inserting CPU-consuming loops into the job's time slice, which it credits toward the CFINT tasks, thereby reducing the processor time available for all jobs. Additionally, the system may trigger other types of interactive delays that are not visible via CFINT. MAX400 resets these flags and tunes specific performance-tracking data used to calculate whether excess interactive consumption is occurring. When the flags are reset, the CFINT governor does not then count these jobs as interactive. Because MAX400 only monitors and modifies the memory areas of interactive jobs, it does not interfere with the operations of other jobs.
MAX400, which can be downloaded as a 50K zipped file, works with a wide range of OS/400 and i5/0S versions—from V4R1 right up to the current version, V5R4. It is easy to install using RSTLIB and can typically be ready to run in under five minutes.
Fax*Star expects that many companies will use MAX400 as a temporary solution to deal with capacity constraints. To cost-effectively address this requirement, Fax*Star offers MAX400 on a leased basis with a variety of lease durations, but you can also buy a license. License and leasing fees vary based on the P Group of your system.
Fax*Star offers a free trial license for MAX400. The company encourages prospective customers to test the software to evaluate the potential performance benefits. The software developer recommends the following test, which should be performed when online users will not be affected because, to provide a basis of comparison, it will initially consume virtually all available interactive capacity:
Copy the following code into a source member and compile it as a CL program:
This program runs in a loop and consumes large amounts of CPW.
Alternatively, use WRKACTJOB to see how much capacity interactive jobs are consuming in total and compare that with the stated system capacity.
Performance improvements under this test and in actual use may not be immediate. When you start MAX400, it spends a little time testing your system response. It may, therefore, be a few seconds or, if the system is particularly busy, a few minutes before MAX400 starts working.
For more information on MAX400, please contact Fax*Star at the address listed below.

I've been writing about nutrition for 30-some years. As I listen to people, I often hear less science and more of what could best be described as a variety of belief systems.
There are the vegetarian, vegan, and macrobiotic sects. There's the church of low-fat eating. And there's the pervasive belief that everything boils down to calories in and calories out, with exercise being the penance for overeating.
But the fact is, there's very little science to support many common nutrition beliefs. They're just beliefs. And having millions of adherents or thousands of experts repeat the same mantras doesn't make these beliefs truer.
I know this sounds like heresy to many of you. And I'm not trying to offend anyone's nutritional or religious sensibilities. But the only food we definitely know we were meant to consume is breast milk, in infancy.
In anthropology, the term "belief system" is usually used to describe a religion. And when it comes to nutrition, many scientists and consumers are so wedded to their beliefs that they're not interested in adjusting their beliefs in response to new scientific findings.
I'll give you three examples.
Saturated Fat. Millions of people believe that low-saturated fat diets will prevent heart disease. But the research now shows the opposite to be true. Saturated fat is either neutral or protective, according to an impressive body of research. It's the refined carbs and sugars and the trans fats that seem to be the real problem in cardiovascular risk.
Why do so many people still believe that saturated fat is bad? It's a matter of belief - shaped by studies that failed to factor in the effects of carbs, sugars, and trans fats, as well as publication bias favoring the sat-fat-is-bad belief.
Calories. Nearly everyone believes that, to lose weight, you have to either eat less or exercise more. But different types of calories prompt different biological responses. Nutrients that trigger insulin - think carbs and sugars - are more likely to result in weight gain, compared with protein. Protein has little effect on insulin.
The calorie idea was based on energy transfer in steam engines and the 1st Law of Thermodynamics. Biological systems - you are a biological system - are far less efficient and are governed by the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
Vegetarian Diets. If you look at the history of human cultures, as anthropologists and other scientists have done, you'll realize that there have been no completely vegetarian cultures. People simply didn't have the luxury to be so picky about food until relatively recently. Yes, veggies are good for health, but so is unadulterated animal protein. Biologically, we're designed as omnivores.
Vegetarianisms and its many forms are a belief system. Understand that I have no issue with any sensible vegetarian. However, I've met many vegetarians who don't eat vegetables and prefer sugary soft drinks, bagels, and muffins. Should any of us be surprised that they are often overweight and have a lot of health problems?
Again, I'm not trying to offend anyone or their beliefs. Rather, I'd like to encourage people to gain a better understanding of what shapes their nutritional beliefs and to remain open to where the scientific evidence leads.

love the Place of fine arts. Not a bad seat in the house and perfect for viewing Smuin. Very well done though I do miss Smuin's touch. I particularly liked the piece choreographed by the man from Lousiville. Very clever

This wonderful company continues to amaze. They really set the bar high for themselves and the entire ballet/dance community. Another flawless, stunning production.

PetiteCouture: !dM "Peppermint Coco" for Petite Mesh Avatar
"Peppermint, mon mini Amour…"
"Peppermint Coco PETITE"
Holiday Couture
by !dM deviousMind
After all these holiday costumes I've been doing the past weeks, "Peppermint Coco" instantly struck me as one that HAD to go petite – who could resist a cute little christmas elf after all ;D So here she comes for Holiday Season 2012 at deviousBeauty!
The illustrated outfit consists of a variety of different attachment options, to allow for flexibility when styling your avatar. The shiney peppermint-striped satin corset comes with a poofy red-and-green striped matching skirt that allows wearing it as "plain" skirt, or to wear it with the full peppermint decor combined; or if you feel a little more plain, wear ornamented pearl and holy adornments along with the skirt, and leave all the callories away ;).
If you feel like skipping the skirt, you can wear only the off-white frilly knickers and the corset with pearl and holly leaves adornments along top- and bottom lines. And to round it all off, the costume comes with matching peppermint striped stockings, ankle boots with ruffles, a little tophat and a 3-row pearl choker.
Also included is an UPDATE CHECK to keep you up to date with every piece of this outfit – please find all details of content after the content listing.
You should find the following things in your new couture box:

A similar forum was held in Norwalk last month.

I chose this Rhianna Royale by Maggie Sottero in Diamond White. I loved how special it made me feel w/ all the intricate flowers and beads, best of all the back was a corset so I didn't have to worry about it not fitting when I lost weight from the wedding stress. I love Maggie dresses...would highly recommend!!

The First Encounter...
They all drove separately that late summer afternoon on the 26th of July. We all met outside the parking lot at our workplace unaware that the evening would be the beginning of our journey.
I was the outsider of the group; they had all known each other through other friends. I had moved to Los Angeles not that long ago, introductions were made as we all got on my SUV and started driving towards our destination.
The Journey...
I noticed her, sitting at the second row on the passenger side of my SUV, poised as she looked out the window. My friend had burned music CD of Jazz songs as he sets the mood. Conversations started, the girls talked amongst them as they catch up on gossip. They would occasionally turn my way and ask questions as we slowly get acquainted. The sun had set as I remember driving down the interstate freeway. It has not hit me yet but the stars were shinning down on us that night.
At the Movies...
We had arrived as we walked towards the movie theater, two of the girls who rode with us met with their partners. She at the time was dating someone else. As we entered the movie theater, each couple sat separately. I on the other hand, sat with the couple whom invited me to the premiere.
We sat on the left side of the theater close to aisle. One couple sat a few rows in front and the other in the middle section of the theater. The movie had come and gone.
We left the theater, as we drove to dine at a restaurant. Two full hours had gone dreary; it would seem that fate was tempting us as it sets the stage for what's to come next.
Attraction Was Undeniable...
We park at an adjacent structure of the restaurant as we sat inside the dining area. The table was rectangular in shape sitting across from each side. I sat on one end as she sat at the other end. We ordered our food and the evening went on...
As I turned to her to listen to her voice, something struck me that moment. Everyone else seems to have suddenly faded into the background, I turn to my right and there she was with her beautiful smile. She had this magnificent glow that night as if the room had dimmed down I could not help myself but gaze at her.
I kept fighting the urge not to stare, not to look too obvious to the group but the attraction was so strong that I found myself looking at her every chance I get. The night draw to a close, I drove everyone back to where we all met and said our goodbyes.
A Course Was Set...
That night set the course of our journey; there were heartaches and pain, anger and jealousy, distrust and doubt. I lost her once and faith brought us back together.
Two people took a chance and became strangers, friends, and lovers as we take voyage in this new endeavor.
