|A Spyguardpro may install malware or deceive users into buying anti-malware services by claiming to find security threats on a computer. It typically creates false malware alerts and reports.
|Rogue Application
How to manually remove Spyguardpro guide. Only for ADVANCED users.
Check running processes on your system. Usually you can find Spyguardpro process running. Use the Ctrl+Shift+Esc buttons combination to open system information window and click Processes tab. Scroll down the whole list and try to find the process named like Spyguardpro. If you find Spyguardpro process running, right click on it and choose "End Process". It will disable Spyguardpro for the current Windows session, but remember that if you do not completely remove Spyguardpro using next steps, then your PC will stay vulnerable to malware attack. Next steps are much more important in removing Spyguardpro.
Prevent the malware from leaking or spreading your personal data. Rogue Application usually uses the Internet to transfer all possible and important information you have. Some Rogue Applications are not so "Active" and they can simply disable some Windows features and options. To disconnect your PC from the Internet you need to plug-off LAN cable (if you use LAN connection) or to turn of the Wi-Fi module (if you use Wi-Fi Internet connection). Most of (not 100%) Rogue Applications can not access Wi-Fi module preferences. Turning off the Internet will disable Spyguardpro from transferring any data from your PC.
The next step is very important in removing Spyguardpro. After turning off the Internet and disabling Spyguardpro process you will need to reboot your PC in so-called Safe Mode. Safe Mode is a Windows mode which allows you to start the System using only important applications and services. Safe Mode does not usually allow Spyguardpro to load when the system boots (!!!but exceptions can appear!!!). Choose Restart in Windows Start menu and wait until the screen turns off.
After that you have to follow the next instructions according to the versions of Microsoft Windows you use:
Press the F8 key repeatedly when the first screen appears.
Select Safe Mode from Windows Advanced Options Menu and press ENTER.
Press the F8 key repeatedly when the first screen appears.
Use the arrow keys from Windows Advanced Options Menu in order to select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
Press and hold the Shift button when left-clicking the Restart button on Windows log-on screen.
Select Safe Mode from Windows Troubleshooting boot screen and press ENTER.
Having booted your PC in Safe mode you have to start cleaning your PC manually by deleting every file associated with Spyguardpro one by one. Here is the list of all files associated with Spyguardpro. Delete all files listed below using the Shift+Delete buttons combination. Always double check the file name as sometimes Rogue Applications use very similar filenames as very important system files do and you can mistakenly remove important system file what will harm your system and you will not be able to boot your PC at all.
Please, remember that viruses are always progressing and sometimes new files can appear. If you are using our offline PDF guide on How to remove Spyguardpro, please check if you have it's latest version.
We do not guarantee that Spyguardpro has the same file structure at the moment of deleting.
After removing all files associated with Spyguardpro that were listed above, reboot your system in normal mode and check if your PC works fine or you still have any troubles.
It it is OK – congratulations! You have made a great job!
If it is still NOT ok – use OSHI Defender to check your PC.

Rangers 5 Motherwell 1
NOT THAT LONG ago, Fernando Ricksen appeared to be all washed up at Rangers. The self-confessed "mad" Dutchman had to go sober simply to stay in a job at Ibrox, Alex McLeish, the Rangers manager, admitted in the build-up to the CIS Insurance Cup final. The only thing that touched Ricksen's lips at Hampden Park yesterday was silverware.
The reformed man, whom McLeish recently appointed captain, lifted the first trophy of the domestic season as Rangers routed Motherwell. Sotirios Kyrgiakos may have scored two of the handful of goals with headers, but Ricksen fittingly found the net yet again with

Question about Televison & Video
Posted by pgraham_nbs on
no the manual is only black and white but the pic shows video in on 1 and audio in(left) on 2 and aodio in( Right) on 3 but i have never seen a 3.5 jack that has av and audio all in one
thanks I will try to get one
Best Pete.
Are the phono jacks colored yellow, red, and white?
Posted on Aug 31, 2008
What they do is they create a mini jack with three leads on it. One for video, two for audio. Notebook computers and camcorders have that option as well.
It could be that the video runs one mini jack and the audio uses another mini jack. Then you can get a mini jack to phono for the video and a Y cable with a stereo mini jack on one end and a red and black phono end on the other side for the audio.

Prevention & Recovery
5 natural cold remedies
©iStockphoto.com/geotrac Image by: ©iStockphoto.com/geotrac
Prevention & Recovery
5 natural cold remedies
1. Garlic
Useful for more than just warding off vampires and unwanted kisses, this flavourful bulb will also help kick your cold to the curb. Garlic contains an enzyme called alliin that when crushed or cut produces allicin, a sulphuric compound that has antiviral properties.
DIY dose: Kate Whimster, a naturopathic doctor at Wavelength Wellness in Toronto, recommends avoiding garlic pills. Since allicin is quite volatile it is rarely properly preserved in pill form and it's much cheaper to use the real thing. Peel and dice a clove or two of garlic, let them sit for a few minutes and then eat them raw. Do this twice a day until your symptoms have subsided (and cancel all scheduled social engagements).
2. Hydrotherapy
"When people get sick they often take cold medication to suppress their symptoms so they can go to work," says Whimster, "but those symptoms are signs that your body is trying to heal itself, so you want to facilitate that."
She recommends performing a water-based ritual – known as hydrotherapy – once or twice at the beginning of illness to promote warmth, relaxation and rest, and to ultimately feel better faster. She also recommends taking at least one day off from work – both your body and your coworkers will thank you.
DIY dose: First, use a neti pot: Dissolve a 1/4 tsp of sea salt with a mixture of boiling and filtered water in a 1 cup neti pot so that it's warm, then take it to the shower and perform a rinse to dramatically decrease decongestion. A contrast shower will also help. Stay in the hot water for two minutes (concentrating on the areas where you're experiencing symptoms), and then switch the water to cold for 30 seconds. Repeat for four cycles. Always check with your doctor before starting a new health regime.
"It's first a little unpleasant, but after that your temperature sensors are so confused that you adjust," says Whimster. "This helps the blood out of all the tiny capillaries in your skin and gets you really warm."
Finally, just before you go to bed, soak a pair of cotton socks in ice water, wring them out and put them on your feet. Then put a pair of dry wool socks overtop. "This brings a lot of blood to your feet and out of your head, which reduces congestion, gets your feet nice and warm and gets circulation going," explains Whimster. "You'll wake up feeling much better."
3. Oil of oregano
This isn't the flavourful herb you've come to know and love in your pasta dishes; rather, it's an extremely potent extract from the same plant that's a lot less palatable. Two of its main components are thymol and carvacrol, which have antimicrobial effects.
Don't overuse it though, warns Whimster. "It's very powerful and kills a lot of bacteria and viruses," she says, "but if you're taking it every day, you're disrupting that whole ecosystem of good organisms in your mouth, stomach and body that actually prevent you from getting an infection."

DIY dose: At the first signs of a sore throat or cold, place a drop in a shot glass full of water, gargle with it and swallow so it gets into your system. Do this twice a day until symptoms have abated. Whimster also recommends brushing your teeth with oil of oregano (a drop on the brush followed by toothpaste) to clean your mouth during and after illness.
4. Ginger
Though it has long been touted for its ability to cure nausea, the cure-all root also works fantastically on cold symptoms. "It has that spicy, warming quality, and the warmer you are, the better your body is at fighting off a virus," says Whimster.
DIY dose: Add slices of ginger to a hot broth or brew a strong cup of ginger tea to soothe your sinuses almost immediately.
"I always keep ginger in my house, but it goes bad very quickly, so a good storage tip is to freeze it, and then it grates really easily," adds Whimster. Don't let it defrost before grating, though, or it will turn to mush.
5. Steam
Hot water vapours will help moisturize your dry throat, skin and nasal cavities, and will loosen up your mucus membranes, making it easier to clear your sinuses or a congested chest.
DIY dose: Fill a large bowl with boiling water and then stand over it with a towel covering your head. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, allowing the steam to enter your nose and mouth. Whimster recommends adding a drop of thyme oil (which also contains thymol) to the water, as it's an excellent decongestant.
Check out some other treatments for the common cold, including how not to spread your cold to friends and family.

Josh Tomlin (7-1, 3.79 ERA) and Ian Kennedy (4-3, 3.03 ERA) start in the third of a four-game series between the Cleveland Indians (29-24) and the Kansas City Royals (30-24) at Progressive Field. The Indians won the last game 6-1, and Cleveland leads the series 2-0. Action begins at 7:15 p.m. ET on Saturday, Jun. 4 and can be seen on FOX.
Tomlin pitched 3.2 innings in his last outing, surrendering eight runs (four unearned) and striking out one in a 9-2 defeat to the Rangers. Mike Napoli (.237, 36 Rs, 12 HRs, 40 RBIs, 2 SBs) went 1 for 3 yesterday with one run and one RBI. Kennedy went 6.0 innings, surrendering one runs (one unearned), striking out six and walking five in a 6-2 win over the Rays in his most recent start.
The odds for Cleveland and Kansas City are Indians -125, while the Over/Under (O/U) is 8 as of now.
The Indians lead the season series, 4-1.
Predictions: SU Winner - CLE
The Indians and the Royals hold winning records against the AL Central Division this season. The Indians sit at 16-7 and the Royals have a 13-7 record.
The Indians managed to give up five walks in their last game. They'll have to pick it up against the Royals who are coming in with a 7-2 record against opponents who give up that many walks or more.
It looks like the Indians have a slight leg up on the Royals, as the Indians have won their last three games while the Royals have lost their last two.
When they outhit their opponents, the Royals are 24-9. The Indians have a 19-5 record when outhitting opponents.
Ranking 22nd in runs, Kansas City has earned 221 this season. Cleveland ranks eighth with 254 runs.
Ranking 28th, Kansas City is near the bottom of the league in walks, notching 127 this season. Cleveland ranks in the top half at 11th with 182.
The Indians are 17-17 in games where they hit one or more home runs. The Royals are 22-13 when they hit at least one homer.

Religion & Ethics Natural History
Science programs on the ABC should be stories that reach through the screen to communicate the thrill and beauty of science, it's intimate and fundamental relevance to our lives, and its unique, evidence-based underpinning.
Science isnt about boffins- its about explaining the mystery behind everything around us, from sex to space, disease to asteroids, dinosaurs to nanotechnology, climate, environment, space, maths, health, technology, invention, plants, minerals and animals . !
Science programs on the ABC must be first and foremost a good story. They may be popular and entertaining, or epic think-films; they may be innovative, bold, contemporary or traditional; driven by characters, events, theses, breakthroughs; or may be intimate human stories interwoven with hard science. All must be rigorously accurate, intelligent, scientifically relevant, and must emotionally engage the viewer with a story.
The key question when bringing us a science program idea is: is it a great story? Is the science important? Is it accurate? What does it add to a body of knowledge or understanding about us, Australia and Australians, our physical environment, life or space? Is it engaging?
We are looking for single hour documentaries, short (2-4) series of hour documentaries, and short (4-6) series of half hour films, all to broadcast at prime time on ABC1.
Recent science programs include:
- Carbon Cops
- Crude
- Sleek Geeks
- Over My Dead Body
- Life at 3
- Risking Our Kids
- Seed Hunter
- How Kevin Bacon Cured Cancer
- The Hobbit Enigma
Coming Soon:
- Robot Revolution: A cutting edge science documentary exploring Artificial Intelligence (AI) with one of the world's greatest minds - the charismatic, opinionated, ex-Adelaide, Professor Rodney Brooks, racing to produce the worlds first personal robot. At a cost of only $US1,000 per robot it seems reality may finally be catching up with science fiction...

Make Way for Better Germ Tests
Read More.
Every year, millions of people see their doctors for relief of some kind of infection -- a cold, a fever, food poisoning or something more serious -- but doctors can rarely pin down the exact cause. In many cases, it's hard to tell even whether the bug is a bacteria or a virus. That's a huge difference, akin to not knowing whether the food on your plate is animal or vegetable.
The standard diagnostic technology for identifying microbes, decades old, is simply too slow and imprecise to help most patients. The good news is that scientists have developed far better technology, capable of diagnosing thousands of different infections quickly, and with remarkable precision. But doctors won't be able to use it until federal regulators grant approval, and unfortunately, this process is about to get much harder, if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration stays on its current course.
People don't always need to know precisely what's making them sick. Usually, someone who catches a cold or suffers mild food poisoning doesn't even visit a doctor, and the problem goes away on its own. But when someone has an infection that the body can't easily fight off, the results can be deadly. In such cases, to get the right treatment, patients urgently need to identify the pathogen.
A doctor can do this by taking a sample -- a tissue swab, a blood sample or a biopsy, depending on where the infection is located -- and sending it to a lab for testing. Most tests today involve culturing the specimen, which means growing it on a petri dish under controlled conditions, and then testing whatever grows. Pathologists have tests for most of the bacteria and viruses that infect humans, but each of these is designed for one and only one pathogen. Thus doctors often must "guess first, then test." Might the patient have E. coli? How about strep throat (a Streptococcus bacteria infection) or influenza? Each test takes time and money, and dozens might be needed before the right one is found. This is why doctors rarely bother, unless the patient is gravely ill.
Two dramatic technology breakthroughs of the past decade are set to make things far easier, cheaper and faster, by testing for thousands of infectious organisms at once.
First, there's DNA sequencing, which has been growing steadily faster. Today's automated sequencers can generate up to 400 billion bases (the As, Cs, Gs and Ts that make up DNA) per day -- 400,000 times faster than 15 years ago and 75,000 times more cheaply. This means it takes only a few hours to sequence all the DNA in a tissue swab, at a cost of perhaps $100.
The second advance is in the scope of our genome databases. The very first bacterial genome was sequenced only 20 years ago, but already we have more than 30,000 bacterial genomes and 80,000 viruses, plus the genomes of hundreds of other pathogens (such as malaria) caused by microbes that are neither bacterial nor viral. These include every major known human pathogen, with hundreds of different strains for the most common ones.
This means that once we sequence that swab, we can look in our database and figure out precisely what's in it. In other words, the DNA in a single test can be used to diagnose any of the thousands of possible infections.
In a study published this year, for example, my colleagues and I demonstrated that we could diagnose brain infections in critically ill patients by sequencing DNA directly from biopsies. Even though more than 99 percent of the DNA in these samples was human DNA, the remaining 1 percent provided enough sequence data to implicate a particular organism about one-third of the time. In one case, we found clear evidence of a tuberculosis infection and, after being put on anti-tuberculosis medication, the patient rapidly improved, eventually recovering fully from an illness that would likely have been fatal. Sequencing and diagnosis in this instance took about two days; if this were part of a routine protocol, it could be even faster.
Before DNA-based diagnostic tests can become routine, however, they need to meet the so-called CLIA standards, set by the 1988 Clinical and Laboratory Improvement Amendment and enforced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the FDA. To get this approval, a lab must demonstrate precisely how its test works, and show that it is accurate and reproducible. CLIA certification is time-consuming and expensive, and so far, no major hospital or company has produced an approved protocol using metagenomic sequencing for diagnosis, though their efforts continue.
The trouble is, the FDA is proposing to make the process even more difficult. The agency recently announced that it wants to regulate DNA-sequencing diagnostic tests, something it has never done before. And getting FDA approval is much more onerous than getting a CLIA approval.
The FDA's proposal comes with other problems, as well, including an old-school approach to diagnosis, in which every pathogen has to have its own separately approved test. That would delay the technology, perhaps by years, and make it more expensive. Five of the largest organizations of infectious disease doctors, pathologists, virologists and microbiologists have recently argued that this would be a mistake.
Even more alarming is the FDA's proposal that all labs be required to use the FDA's own ARGOS database of genome sequences for testing. ARGOS has only a few hundred genomes. My lab's database, in contrast, has more than 30,000 bacteria and 80,000 viruses. Why ignore the thousands of genomes that the scientific community has made freely available?
If the FDA will refrain from setting up unnecessary obstacles, scientists in both academia and industry can move ahead to develop CLIA-approved tests for DNA diagnostics. Of course, doctors and hospitals would then need to demonstrate to insurance companies that the new tests can save money. Accurate diagnosis of infections has the potential to save thousands of lives per year, but until we have an effective system in widespread use, it will be hard to collect the data to prove that this will also save money.
Meanwhile, though, hundreds of thousands of patients annually suffer from hospital-acquired infections, millions more get infected at home and at work, and only a tiny percentage will ever know what they have. The next time you or someone you care about gets sick, think about how much it would be worth to diagnose exactly what bug is to blame. We have the technology to solve this problem right now.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
"The student learned about heat energy in class and had two handouts with practice problems. We picked the most advanced ones and set up a methodology for solving these type of heat exchange problems. Then we applied the concepts and formulas to solve these problems. He has a good understanding of theory as well as application of the heat energy formula."
"The student is taking his human development final on Tuesday, so we video chatted to review some material that he still had questions about. We went over a few major theories and concepts, and I provided him with some examples to help him remember. We also discussed how he should best prepare for the test because it is an oral exam. The professor provided discussion questions after each lecture, so the student will go over those questions to make sure that he could answer them in case those are the questions chosen for the exam."
"In our introductory session the student and I had a lot of fun completing an "edible cell." First we looked at pictures of animal and plant cells (both microscopic images and artistic renderings) and he pointed out to me some things that he noticed about them - both similarities and differences. We then discussed all the major organelles of both types of cells in detail. He demonstrated an excellent ability to retain the information and relate it to other content he had previously encountered in his education in his own words. I was very impressed at the quantity and quality of his knowledge base. Ultimately, we "built" our own cells from several sweet items such as cookies, candies, and licorice. Each item corresponded to a different cellular component. He was able to determine which components belonged to both plant and animal cells, as well as which organelles were exclusive to one type of cell. We finished by eating our handiwork!"

Integrated systems evolve from mere watchers to security enforcers
"Security dashboard"
Late at night, someone approaches the door of a government facility. A security camera tracks the person's movement but does more than simply pass the image on to a guard. It runs the video through a facial recognition program that checks against criminal watch lists and gets a hit.
The person tries to break in. The perimeter breach sets off a sensor and triggers alarms across the facility. The access control system locks the doors to the building, and two more cameras start tracking the individual, providing a 360-degree view of the would-be intruder's actions. At the guard station, a computer screen flashes an alarm, and all response employees receive text messages on their cell phones warning them of the attempted break-in.
That scene isn't science fiction. Video surveillance is evolving from a reactive into a proactive technology. More companies are offering systems that monitor security situations and enforce pre-emptive security measures across entire organizations.
"We're not simply looking to capture the bad guy walking into the building," said Tim Ross, co-founder and executive vice president of sales and marketing at 3VR Security. "We want to capture his face as he walks in the door. We want to signal an alert and stop him."
That approach represents a departure from the use of traditional closed-circuit TV systems that relay images to people who must notice security events and apply security policies consistently. "Up to this point, people didn't think that a camera system could do anything more than record and store," said Brooks McChesney, president and chief executive officer of Vidient Systems.
One reason for the shift is that the public is growing more aware that IT is an essential part of physical security, said Mariann McDonagh, vice president of global marketing at Verint Systems. Another is the proliferation of video networks using IP. Video data is now in the same format as other sensor data.
"The connection of the video with other data is where the power comes in," she said. "It gives you a more complete picture of what's happening. You can treat it like any other data. It empowers decisions. We can make more intelligent decisions based on what we see and move to correct it."
The systems aim to integrate all threat and response information into one alarm that will provide guards with all necessary information about the situation, McChesney said. Many systems are already working toward such integration.
For instance, 3VR analyzes all video data through a custom-built search engine in real time and automatically alerts guards and acts based on a customer's security policies, Ross said. The results appear immediately on a security dashboard on the guard's computer screen.
People would not run their businesses without good phone or computer systems, and security systems are no different, said Sandra Jones, principal of Sandra Jones and Co., a consulting firm that specializes in the convergence of physical and digital security. "It starts becoming a logical, economical investment," she said.
The new approach shows camera owners the great value in updating their existing infrastructure, McChesney said. Buying all the components to build an intelligent surveillance system a la carte costs more money and doesn't have the technical interoperability, information-sharing ability and easy interface of an integrated system, Ross said.
Intelligent video surveillance systems solve a common problem of traditional video surveillance and analysis systems — scalability, said Tim Ross, co-founder and executive vice president of sales and marketing at 3VR Security.
People can see only so much raw video at once and process much less, Ross said. Intelligent video management systems enable users to understand as much as 10 times more data because they can look at mug shots instead of raw footage, for instance.
The systems make forensics work easier, Ross said. The company's products use real-time indexing through a custom-built search engine, which can review hundreds of thousands of hours of data in seconds.
Another benefit of intelligent systems is that they free guards from the drudgery — and their employers from the cost — of watching screens when nothing is happening, said Brooks McChesney, president and chief executive officer of Vidient Systems.
Intelligent video management systems have other uses in addition to security, said Mariann McDonagh, vice president of global marketing at Verint Systems. Airports use them to review operations on the tarmac and initiate changes to improve efficiency, she said. Managers and employees use video clips to illustrate their case during contract negotiations.

Dolphinn is one of our favorite hotel! During our time in Agra India! We were warmly welcomed by the staff and Ms. Sonia, The staff was extremely good, our room was spacious, comfortable, and modern with a cozy bathroom. Nothing to complain at all. Atmosphere is so special it really felt like home to us. A true sample of excellent hospitality! Also walking distance to Taj Mahal. We absolutely loved the food, foods is delicious (appreciate much!) Ms. Sonia deserves a special thanks. We had two great evenings here, which obviously also added up to our experience. The service and attention was just amazing. Wanted to thank Ms. Sonia for all the help, they answer all of our questions and helped us a lot. Really made our stay more memorable.
by montyclan1 on November 9, 2016
I very much enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Clean, well presented, nice food and great service. The manager, Sonia, puts great effort into her staff providing the standard of service expected by her customers. This also extends to food hygiene and presentation which, after problems of this nature experienced earlier in my trip, I greatly appreciated. A pleasant stay all round.

We are a 21 and 22 year old couple and were actually advised about this homestay by our tuc tuc driver. We were sceptical at the start but it has been very pleasant actually. Originally they wanted too much money per night for our budget, however after telling them that we literally just couldn't afford it they dropped the price hugely which was nice. the homestay is run by a lovely lady and her staff. She is very friendly and is happy to help with anything! The homestay is about 10 minutes rickshaw ride from the Taj Mahal and plenty of rickshaws go past the front gate! The homestay has a huge garden area to relax in and the food was amazing - no complaints. I would recommend this homestay to anyone really. The rooms are clean, nice and for the price you pay you definitely get the best out of your money.

Property is badly maintained. Toilets are in very bad condition. Restaurant service is very poor. Breakfast is not matching with the norms rather it was not available. Not recommended for stay. There are far better hotels in Agra to stay even at less rate.
by duttsupriya on May 29, 2016
I recently visited this place with few of my friends and they really liked the place. It's location is so good we walked to the tajmahal. The rooms are very comfortable and well equipped. You can get few other things which are not available but the caretaker can get arranged. The property is well maintained. Being so near to the tajmahal it's a biggest advantage of staying here. Overall a good budget place to stay.

Exuberant lead singer with the punk band the Slits whose off-key warbling displayed a childlike charm
As the flamboyant lead singer with the Slits, Ari Up cut a memorable figure on the late 1970s punk scene. While so many punk singers — including John Lydon, who was to become her stepfather — worked hard to effect a snarl of alienation and anger, Ari Up's trademark was to sound wickedly mischievous as she warbled engagingly off key. Still in her early teens when she formed the Slits, the effect was punk rock meets St Trinian's and even when she adopted the stridently ranting vocal style of her punk peers, she could not help but sound as if her tongue

What's that funny writing on the White House's toilet paper?
Under what authority is president Obama committing the U.S. military to attacking Libya?
It is clearly, and most significantly, not the consitution.
It is clearly not the War Powers Resolution of 1973.
It does not even seem to be U.N. resolution 1973 which, while rather vague, appears to endorse only the establishment of a no-fly zone and "safe zones" for civilians.
The only apparent "justification" for military action is precedent — other presidents have abused their executive power and so this one shall as well, when and where he sees fit. The constitutional limits on government power are quite literally void, replaced by some kind of executive power stare decisis in which executive power is limited only by precedent, public opinion, and imagination.
The last concerted effort to constrain the power of the federal government resulted in brutal opression and over 600,000 American deaths. What kind of repressive dictator would engage in bloody, all-out civil war against his own people to maintain the power of the state? We built a monument to him, and all of us have at one time or another carried a picture of him in our wallets.
Where will the American people next draw the line limiting the power of the state? The only thing we can be certain of is that it isn't going to be drawn for us.
Confined by the vague and awkwardly limiting mission of "protecting civilians", NATO forces in Libya have run into their first rather predictable tactical stumbling block (ignoring for the moment the overall muddled strategy). It seems Gadhafi's military discovered fairly quickly that driving tanks across open desert to threaten civilian population centers wasn't going to work out very well for them. Now they are on the defensive, able to hunker down in urban areas surrounded by the civilians it is NATO's mission to "protect". Since it's suicidal for a few guys in a pickup truck to attack a coordinated group of tanks, the rebels must rely on NATO air power to do the job.Â
So the question becomes, is NATO going to drop bombs on tanks entrenched in defensive positions in residential areas, near schools, hospitals, mosques etc.? They can, certainly, and generally with great accuracy. But when they start dropping bombs in residential neighborhoods it's going to feel a lot more like a war than a clean, limited "UN mandated humanitarian action". If NATO accidentally blows up an apartment building, do we just subtract the lives lost there from all the ones we've "saved", and call it a net positive? Gadhafi is trying to save his grip on power with bombs, NATO is trying to save his people with bombs…as in any war, even one with lofty humantarian motives, the civilian population is caught in the middle.
This "humanitarian action" isn't going to end until Gadhafi is removed, or his military loses its ability or will to fight.  The UN mandated mission will result in neither outcome. President Obama is undoubtedly (well, if he bothers to) reading reports that if we just send in one Marine Expeditionary Unit and some tanks, we'll have Gadhafi gone in a week. He has absolutely no problem going back on promises great or small, so we'll see whether his love of international coalitions wins out over political pressure to just get the job done. It's unfortunate that the competence and impressive capability of our military masks the utter foolishness of war fought by political fiat. One would think we would've learned at least that lesson from Vietnam. Instead, our military is the personal plaything of "humanitarians" and warmongers alike.
Hail to the Chief
Via Reason.com, a succinct article which rejects partisan melodrama to encapsulate the real problem with our executive branch:
Every administration expands power where it wishes, but no power is ever repealed. The result is a one-way ratchet that tightens the grip of government, click after inexorable click. The problem is not that presidents are sometimes inconsistent—but that their apparent inconsistencies turn out to have such a remarkably consistent effect.
Cookie Crackdown
Hazelwood, MO — the city does not like girl scouts selling cookies from their front yard. It violates city code!
The fact that we did have this code in place, it's the responsibility of every good citizen to respect the laws that we have.
Respecting the rule of law is one thing.  Bowing to petty city officials and their ordinances is another entirely. Like any bully, government bureaucrats will be angry but quickly irrelevant if you just ignore them. Which these girls and their mother did, fortunately. Good for them — the sand castles of petty bureaucrat kingdoms will wash away if we simply ignore their plaintive admonotions to obey.
Go ahead, assholes. Arrest girl scouts for selling girl scout cookies. Good luck.
A word of advice to all city councilmen and other minor functionaries of the world: if you create a "law", and later realize that there are some circumstances where it would be ridiculous, unfair, or tragicomical to attempt to enforce it, you never should have created that "law" in the first place. It is a sure sign that your intervention was immoral and you have overstepped the bounds of your position and likely your competency.
Obamacare Waiver For New York City?
Congressman Weiner says implementing Obamacare in New York City might be a little complicated.
Central planning always is, Weiner…
It is a mystery to me why the 20th century didn't at least interalize the concept of the impossibility of central planning into the human consciousness. Tens of millions dead and we're still daydreaming of government-sponsored utopia.
Terrorism, Evolved
Apparently the definition of terrorism is evolving. This is not particularly surprising, since broadening the definition is a useful tool for an ambitious Department of Homeland Security looking to increase its scope and power. It is, however, bad news for anyone who doesn't see eye to eye with the federal government.
A North Carolina resident has been convincted of (from the FBI report)
making coins resembling and similar to United States coins; of issuing, passing, selling, and possessing Liberty Dollar coins; of issuing and passing Liberty Dollar coins intended for use as current money; and of conspiracy against the United States.
It's probably worth noting that under those guidelines, Utah's recently passed legislation to accept gold coins as legal tender might not be very well received by the federal government.
Now I'm not going to defend the actions of someone attempting to coin his own currency out of silver, except to say that I doubt he posed any existential threat to the United States government.  Although the incarceration of a senior citizen for such a victimless crime is disturbing, I am especially bothered by this statement (also in the FBI report) from US attorney Anne Tompkins following the guilty verdict in the Liberty Dollar case:
Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism. While these forms of anti-government activities do not involve violence, they are every bit as insidious and represent a clear and present danger to the economic stability of this country. We are determined to meet these threats through infiltration, disruption, and dismantling of organizations which seek to challenge the legitimacy of our democratic form of government.
Making silver coins is "every bit as insidious" as exploding a bomb in a train station or crashing airplanes into buildings?
"Clear and present danger" has become something of a catch phrase for government officials looking to justify stomping on the rights of the individual. Our country was founded upon, and has a proud tradition of, "insidiuous anti-government activities". Now the modern American state has become a jealous guardian of her own power, just as the British Empire once was, and recoils even at the idea of a citizen creating his own currency for barter — as if the Federal Reserve itself weren't an insidious danger to our economic stability.
It is not a particularly significant mental leap to replace "our democratic form of government" with "the state":
We are determined to meet these threats through infiltration, disruption, and dismantling of organizations which seek to challenge the legitimacy of the state.
Is this a statement by a federal prosecutor, or the mission statement of the state secret police? Again — in her statement she referred to "our democratic form of government", and that may be enough for some — but I don't see much distinction between our modern blind reverence of "the democratic process" and past reverence of "the state".
- Mission statement of the Nazi secret police (GESTAPO):Â "The Gestapo has been entrusted the mission by the Fuehrer to watch over and to eliminate all enemies of the Party and the National Socialist State as well as all disintegrating forces of all kinds directed against both. The successful solution of this mission forms one of the most essential pre-requisites for the unhampered and frictionless work of the Party."
- Mission statement of the Soviet Secret Police (Cheka): "1. To investigate and liquidate all attempts or actions connected with counter-revolution or sabotage, no matter from whom they may come, throughout Russia. 2. The handing over for trial by Revolutionary Tribunal of all saboteurs and counter-revolutionaries, and the elaboration of measures to fight them."
My sources here aren't exactly peer-reviewed academic papers, but the purpose of any state secret police organization is obvious enough anyways. I don't lose sleep at night over shadow-government conspiracy theories, and I'm not immediately concerned that the Justice Department/DHS is going to turn into the GESTAPO, but the course of human history is not one characterized by respect of individual liberty and limited government. The United States is an aberration in human governance, and a relatively brief one at that.
We would be foolish to blindly follow those among us who offer up "our democratic form of government" as incontrovertible evidence that individual liberty will never face any threat in America. There is already considerable mounting evidence to the contrary. Democracy is simply the latest fashion in human governance — one of the least objectionable our species has come up with so far, but deeply flawed. Liberty is something distinctly different, and far more precious — it is the great American experiment, and a fundamental human right that the founders of this country bled for.
The Humanitarian Missile Barrage
Being President of the United States is complicated. Being a President who feels compelled to micromanage the affairs of other nations using French planes, British special forces, and a massive number of cruise missiles is impossible for any one person, but the arrogance of those who view themselves as the ruling elite knows literally no bounds.
If United States intervention in the affairs of Libya was essentially inevitable (as our meddling seems to be these days), it should have been timely. That is to say, help the rebels when they are advancing on Tripoli, Gaddafi is backed into a corner, and his military commanders are eyeing the next plane to Syria . FAIL
Once we have committed to intervention, commit with a clear goal and ensure that both allies and enemy understand your intent (one would assume we have to remove Gaddafi at this point, not just fly combat air patrols for rebels in pickups for the next couple years). FAIL
With that clear goal in mind, provide leadership that the coalition can look to for direction in accomplishing the mission (in the absence of US leadership, the French have proposed some sort of non-NATO "political steering committee" to direct the action in Libya). FAIL
If you have no idea how to accomplish these goals, or worse, don't even know that these things are necessary, then fire up the Tomahawk missile factory and set up a rotation schedule for our military — we're going to be there for a while. Doing…something. Good thing we have plenty of room in the budget for a third war.
Also it's worth noting that if our mission is purely a humanitarian one and humanitarian reasons alone compel us to military action, we ought to be intervening in (bombing?) most of Africa, much of the Middle East, North Korea, and probably Russia and China.
Green economy for US, reality for Brazil
From Investor's Business Daily (editorial):
Obama wants to develop Brazilian offshore oil to help the Brazilian economy create jobs for Brazilian workers while Americans are left unemployed in the face of skyrocketing energy prices by an administration that despises fossil fuels as a threat to the environment and wants to increase our dependency on foreign oil.
That about sums it up. In the Gulf of Mexico, oil wells are environment-destroying barriers to green progress. In Brazil, they are key to "secure-energy supplies".  What's the difference? Perhaps it's George Soros' investment in Petrobras. Perhaps it's just that those who consider themselves the elite rulers of the ignorant masses feel absolutely no accountability to be consistent in thought or policy, or that we've given our politicians license to toy with our economy like a child with an anthill. Either way the United States is left with massive untapped oil reserves just sitting in the ground. For some reason we provided the president a switch that turns off a significant portion of domestic oil production, and he felt that flipping it would look good politically in the midst of the BP oil spill crisis. Shame on us. Hopefully that ridiculous assumption of executive power wont hold up in court.
Do we really need two heads of state standing next to each other talking at cameras to ensure that America and Brazil cooperate in the future on mutually beneficial business deals? Shouldn't we simply leave oil exploration to oil companies with the necessary specialized knowledge? On the other hand, Brazil is still predominantly socialist and Obama thinks government has the prerogative to fiddle with absolutely any and every aspect of our economy.  So it seems political photo-ops and press conferences stuffed with platitudes are the way business will be conducted in the future.
