Why does Jamie include MILK in the Food Revolution?
I really want to know Jamie's stance on milk consumption, considering there are many, many resources to back up the fact that we absolutely DO NOT need milk after we are weaned.
Check this out:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
If you're like most people, you've been raised on cow's milk and probably continue to think that it's a healthy food that's inexpensive, tasty, rich in vitamins and minerals, and contains muscle-building protein. It is, simply, "nature's perfect food." If only this were true. But, it's not. Rather, much of the cow's "milk" that's produced today isn't really milk at all, but is a toxic soup of harmful chemicals that will destroy your health.
rBGH is injected into cows in order to elevate IGF-1 levels and increase milk production. Human and bovine IGF-1 is chemically identical,2 and this is important to note because when IGF-1 levels are elevated in injected cows, IGF-1 is secreted into the milk you drink. This IGF-1 also survives the pasteurization process.3 This means: your IGF-1 levels become elevated when you drink milk from a cow that's been injected with rBGH, and elevated IGF-1 levels in adults is linked to many cancers and tumors. Even children are not immune from the health effects of elevated IGF-1 levels, which can include childhood bone cancer, juvenile onset (Type I) diabetes (by destroying insulin-producing pancreatic cells), allergic reactions, allergy, ear and tonsillar infections, bedwetting, asthma, and intestinal bleeding.
So, while the injection of cows with hormones and antibiotics is good news for major pharmaceutical companies and dairy farmers, the presence of these contaminants in your food supply is detrimental to your health.
Drink More Milk?
Usually, the dairy industry and the medical profession recommend increasing milk intake to ensure adequate calcium intake. Calcium intake is critical for the prevention of degenerative bone diseases like osteoporosis and its related health effects. But is dairy cow milk a good source of useable calcium?
Consider The Following:
� Bovine milk causes sickness in the majority of the world's population.
� Epidemiological data show that calcium deficiency and osteoporosis rates are lower in non-milk consuming countries than in Westernized and industrialized milk-consuming nations.
� Human consumption of cow's milk is a recent development in evolution. Pre-humans and human ancestors did not drink cow's milk. Early fossil evidence shows no signs of osteoporosis.
� Milk is a source of calcium, but not the best source of absorbable calcium - other foods are better.
� As a source of protein, liquid milk is less than ideal - other foods are better.
The majority of the world's population does not drink cow's milk.
This is just one of thousands of articles and reports that document exactly HOW BAD milk is for you. Basically, we are all mammals who nurse off our mothers until we get teeth. Then, we don't need milk any longer. We build bone mass by exercising between the ages of 14 and 18, and keep our bone mass by continuing to exercise and avoiding things that leech calcium. I'm weaned. I'd think school children are, too.
THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLD HAS BEEN WEANED SUCCESSFULLY AND DOES NOT HAVE OSTEOPOROSIS! They also do not have American Dairy Association advertising!
Please Jamie, take milk OUT of the food revolution!

Re: Why does Jamie include MILK in the Food Revolution?
I must be risking things as well as I drink milk in my tea !
I always thought that milk was a good sorce of calcium , nessersary for health of bones, teeth , something to do with nerve transmission and impulses and various other things.
OK so the majority of the world might not suffer from osteoperosis , but many people do and I can tell you that it can be uite debilitating fr some people. I have a friend who has a crumbled area in her spine due to this horible condition , she is never free from pain and she has grea difficult just getting out of bed each day.
Ms Kira , unless I am mistaken , the problem that Mr Oliver has with milk is the flavoured milk shakes that contain as much as 6 teaspoons of sugar in a carton .
In my opinon , milk is good and I will continue to live life on the edge and consume milk.

In Italy we know for years that milk is full of antibiotics and thus lowers our immune system. My sister, who was a major consumer of milk, and had very often cold problems, stopped drinking milk and is ok since then.

Re: Why does Jamie include MILK in the Food Revolution?
I have some problems with the way milk is processed but not with drinking milk per se.. There definetly are differences between countries though..
Milking hormones are strictly illegal in Canada, and in many other countries I suspect. This is not the case in the USA though.
The use of anti-botics in milking herds in Canada are very specifically regulated . If an animal becomes sick they are quarantined for the duration , and if anti-botics are used they cannot rejoin the milking herd til there is no antibotics detected in their milk.
The use of antibotics and hormones is strictly monitored in milking herds in Canada. Every load of milk sent from a dairy farm to a dairy is tested for these things and if it is found the entire load is destroyed.. This means that Canadian dairy farmers are very stringent about following the regulations as it is very costly to make a mistake , nevermind try to cheat .
As to the point about pre-humans and ancestor humans not developing osteoporosis. Anyone stopping to think about this for a moment can see the fallacy of this argument. How many pre-hominids or early hominids lived past 20 years old to become fossils??
This doesn't mean I am happy with the milk I buy at the market.
Having been able to drink whole raw milk in the past I know just how different the product most people call milk is from the actual product that comes straight from the source.
Enforced pasturization of all milk for sale is something I have a problem with. I am not advocating a ban on it , simply that it is possible to safely provide unpasturized milk to those who want it . There are dairies running in many countries that have been able to do this succesfully .
Homogenization is another issue I have..The practice is a monymaker for most dairies though.
Before homogenization, dairies would deliever milk and people would let the fat float to the top and then they would skim most of the cream off to use for coffee and baking and drink the mostly fat free milk beneath.
then they came up with homogenization and if you wanted cream you needed to buy it separately. Also they started skiming milk to different % of MF. and selling it that way. Now most dairies 100% skim the milk that is shipped in. They then add back the milk fat to exact %'s and then homogenize.
As a general rule I hate to buy any food product that has been overly processed. The way modern daires process milk makes it a very different thing from what comes out of a cow.
There is some definite questions that need answering in a possible link between homogenization and allergies in my mind. The homogenization proccess bascially tears apart the milk fat globules to such small particles they can't clump together again. These particles are small enough to pass through the gut wall and in the body it is plausible that the immune system could view them as a threat causing immune system allergy reactions in some people.

TFK chats with Michael Peña about his role as Tito in the animated film Turbo
Release Date: July 17, 2013
Directed by David Soren
Starring Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Michael Peña
No one feels the "need for speed" more than Turbo. In the upcoming animated 3-D Dreamworks film, the tiny garden snail, voiced by Ryan Reynolds, dreams of becoming the greatest racer in the world. His ambition makes him an oddball in his slow and cautious snail neighborhood until a freak accident gives him the power he's been looking for.
On Turbo's journey to the Indy 500, he meets Tito, voiced by Michael Peña. Tito, the lovable and naïve co-owner of a taco shop, believes in his new friend. He decides to help Turbo raise money and turn his dream into a reality.
Peña spoke to TFK about his role in the underdog story. "It's really funny," he told TFK. "And who doesn't want to see a racing snail?"
Turbo speeds into theaters July 17.
Could you talk a little bit about Turbo?
Almost two years ago I got the call to read a script about a snail that wants to be an Indy 500 racer. I play the guy who is his number one fan. I push him through. I champion this snail to be in the Indy 500. He ends up going —whether he wins or not, you'll have to wait to see the flick.
What can you tell us about Tito, your character in the film?
Tito and his brother are co-owners of a company called Dos Bros Tacos. It's hard to raise money when you sell tacos—even enough to pay for the registration fee for the Indy 500—but that's what he ends up doing. He's really optimistic and very earnest. He's a very humble guy. He's the kind of guy that says, "Hey, how about we do karate and eat tacos? Tacorati!" He's always thinking of the worst ideas. This time he thinks: What if we joined the Indy 500? He is a dreamer and he's trying to make his dreams into reality.
Are you at all similar to Tito?
In order to become an actor, I came [to LA] when I was 19. I had that dream. I was acting for four months before that and I think with any artist there's a lot of pressure. You just don't know if it can happen. I still love the challenge of reading a new script. I envision the best type of performance I can possibly give, sometimes I even dream my parts. So, in that way I relate with him.
Any notable differences?
He's a little bit more overweight than I am. He sells tacos. I act. He's championing a snail. I love snails, don't get me wrong, but I haven't seen a fast snail.
What is Tito's relationship to Turbo?
He calls him his little amigo—which means little buddy [in Spanish]. It's a really interesting dynamic. He doesn't understand the snail, but the snail kind of understands him. He just cheers for this little guy and wants him to win, and they become really good buddies.
Turbo is obsessed with speed and racing. Are you a fan?
I am. I just started watching more of it. It's unbelievable. These guys have to stay hydrated in those hot cars— it's like a sauna. I was into monster trucks as a kid, but now it's any kind of racing. I think humans basically have the need for speed.
In Turbo, there's a group of ragtag, trash-talking racing snails that give Turbo a hard time. What do they add to the film?
It goes into the world of snaildom. It's necessarily sometimes to have those people, so you have a goal almost. Success is the sweetest revenge sometimes. They offer a little bit of competition in the beginning. But, by the end they think, "Wow this guy is just on another level."
What was your favorite scene to record?
The singing scene. I've never been sought after for a singing role. My agent asked, "Can you sing?" and I said, "Yup." They never asked if I could sing well. The directors didn't think it was funny. They said, "We need you to be musical!" I said, "Look, I can try!"
Why do you think kids will enjoy Turbo?
It's an underdog story. You have to live out your dreams and go for what you want. Don't let anyone knock you down. My kid loves Dreamworks movies. This one has a lot of heart and is really funny. And who doesn't want to see a racing snail?

text: Ok so here is my problem. I was driving down the road today, when i let off the gas pedal the truck just stopped running. Every thing stayed on but it was like the fuel just stopped. No warning at all. I thought the truck was out of gas. I tapped on the tank and i sounded empty. SO im thinking ok the gauge is wrong and i ran out. SO I put 5 gallons in it and still no start. I pushed on the pressure valve on the back of the throttle body and witht he key on it just sprayed and sprayed. PUlled the lines from the TB and fuel just runs rights out. SO i was thinking out good fuel no fire. I put some fuel in the TB and it fired up then died. I am stumped. NO engine light though. NOt sure whats up. Hoping it isnt the spider unit. the truck ran great right up until it died.

Company releases new bacon-flavored condoms | Fox News
I don't think this what Bill Gates had in mind when he offered $100,000 to someone to invent the next generation condom.
Just when you though the bacon fad was fizzling out, J&D's Foods --the same Seattle-based company that brought us the bacon coffin and bacon mayonnaise (all real products) -- now has introduced Bacon Condoms that claims to "make your meat look like meat."
As an added bonus, each condom is coated with its very own J&Ds baconlube.
From it press release: "Truly the new standard of animal protein themed prophylactics Bacon Condoms are proudly Made in America of the highest quality latex and rigorously tested to help ensure the utmost reliability and safety for when youre makin Bacon."
And just when you hoped America's bacon fad was dying out, the company is also releasing Bacon Sunscreen.
Why? According to the release, "science has shown us that 10 out of 10 people prefer the smell of Bacon to coconut, which makes this the most anticipated new product of the summer."
Please, put a fork in it.

Where I stayed
We load up the Dodge van and bid farewell to the Fortune house.
1pm: The Fall shopping mall offers a most pleasant shopping mall experience. Waterfalls , fountains and streams flow thru lush plantings of palms and ferns with shops connected by boardwalks. Apple store is almost void of customers so the kids go wild playing games whilst I get the ipad setup. They have sold out of camera connector kits and 3G activation is a problem as I don't have a USA credit card billing address.
After much discussion with the apple 'genius' he sends me off to the AT&T store. At least now we have the iPad to use for navigation - and it does so brilliantly caching the maps that were viewed from the long gone wifi connection
AT&T can't do any magic with the 3G and suggest that I try a pre paid credit card, so off we go to buy one of those.
Lunch at Boarders cafe and yet another stop at best buys.
5pm: Drive down to West Key - would love to spend a few days down here kayaking, surfing, fishing, endless beaches and ocean views from every vantage point
Harrison slept the whole 3 hr drive, Tom and Gen watch videos on the in car entertainment system.
The night life at Key West lives upto its reputation and by 11pm its time to get the kids off the street. Having not booked any lodgings for the night, we were relieved and very happy that we found rooms at the Truman Hotel. The rooms were brand new and everything about the place was delightful.

The condo is a very nice, clean and luxery place to stay. Also is everything closer by! We realy enjoied our stay. I loved the pool.. Thank jou Sue!
Stayed in this beautifully furnished modern Condo with good facilities. Its in a modern secure building with gym and a lovely swimming pool. The building is like a five star hotel.
Sue is a very friendly hostess. She took me around to show the shop, laundry, BRT station. BRT Dorkmai takes u to Centre of Bangkok in about 25 mins. Excellent n cheap Taxi service is provided from the building to anywhere in Bangkok. There is also public bus available at certain times to Centre.
Thank you Sue for everything.

Sue is a very polite and organized host. At the beginning she gives you all relevant information, so that you actually don t have to think about anything and can immediately enjoy your stay. Great view from the pool!
Second time we stayed at this place cause it's at a great location.
Enjoyed it once again. Thank you Sue!!
Sue is a friendly and flexible host. Her condo is modern with comfortable furniture, good sanitary facilities and a nice little kitchen. The view from the apartment on the river and the city is magnificent.
The apartment building itself has many luxurious facilities. My favorite is the possibility to order a taxi at the security guards right at the entrance. The only "downside" I could find is that you sometimes have to help taxi drivers to find the building, despite its huge size. Tip: Have Google Maps on your phone, to show the location at the taxi driver.
Nice Condo, very clean. Bedroom with beautiful riverview. save.
7 Eleven nearby. i will come back everytime. gunter from Germany
We ad a great time in Susans very nice condo. It is easy to reach public transportation from the condo, both the skytrain and the central pier on the river. Susan made sure we felt comfortable and told us about nearby conveniences.
We had a warm welcome from our host Susan.
A really nice woman who showed us around the place and apartment.
This is such a nice place to stay. It was clean and very close to public transport.
There is also a nice swimming pool with great view.
Recommend this place and will be back in the future!!

Town Square
Original post made by Jag Singh, Duveneck/St. Francis, on Jan 30, 2007
A startling new book authored by Barry Lando, a former 60 Minutes producer, sheds new light on the complicity of Western nations arming Saddam Hussein when he was committing atrocities on his own people. The book, "Web of Deceit, The History of Western Complicity in Iraq, From Churchill to Kennedy to George W. Bush", traces the historical record of this shameful period in our history. Lando reveals that in the late 1980s Hussein was launching his genocidal attacks on his own people with chemical and other weapons supplied by US arms merchants with the full knowledge and approval of the Reagan and Bush (senior) administrations. Efforts by the U.S. Congress to condemn Saddam Hussein were blocked by the White House. Senators from the farm states (including Senator Dole) rushed to meet Hussein to assure him that the U.S. was largely unconcerned about the genocidal attacks so long as Iraq continued to import U.S. agricultural products. Attempts by Iran to initiate UN intervention and investigations on the use of chemical weapons by Iraq were consistently blocked by the U.S. and United Kingdom. U.S. and other western arms merchants raked in billions of dollars in weapons sales to both Iran and Iraq during their 8 year war.
The rush to hang Saddam Hussein may well have been prompted by a desire to silence him before the unsavory facts connecting him to western leaders was made public.

Evaryone knows that Saddam was our ally, or we were his ally, in the war against Iran. When someone comes out wih an expose' of the obvious, it is time for the department of So What to take over.

We were Saddam's ally when he was using poison gas and deadly chemicals against the Kurds and the Iranians, we didn't have any moral repulsion then. At the very same time he was committing heinous crimes against his own people, Donald Rumsfeld was visiting him in Baghdad, knowing very well what he was doing. As a matter of fact, US corporations were providing him with some of the materials. Since we know now that the WMD excuse was a hoax and that there was never any connection between Saddam and 9/11 and islamic terrorism, most of the invasion supporters now claim that we had to invade because, can you believe this:'he used poison gas on the Kurds and Iranians'.

Iran was and is at war with the United States and it was not in our interest to have them also rule Iraq.

There had never been a possibility of Iran ruling Iraq until the US made it possible by invading Iraq and help the Shi'ite ascend to power. Now we have a government with close ties to Iran whose power base is Shi'ite religious militias. Just what we needed. Bush turned out to be Iran's best friend and benefactor, making the impossible come true for Iran. The only decision by a head of state that can be compared in its hubris and sheer madness to the decision by the Bush regime to invade Iraq, is probably Hitler's order to invade the USSR in 1942.

There was indeed a war between Iraq and Iran, and Iraq would have lost without help from us. It would not have been in our interest then or now for Iran to rule the Middle East.

Saddam was our best friend in the ME viz-a-vis Iran. He kept them in check and provided a counter balance to their ambitions. The Iranians were so concerned about Saddam that they concentrated all their energy on him and not on their historic ambition of becoming a regional power. Since we were so concerned about Iran, we had to remove their greatest enemy and now Iran is free to become more and more influential, has a friendly government in Baghdad and the ME has never been so hostile to us. Now I really see the logic in the invasion...

Is it the crud,drones mating with aussies,new strain of chalkbrood,or fungicides,spore counts are low???
I'm not really sure what you are asking.
Chalk brood is turning up everywhere in Ca.No one seems to have the answer to why.Is it fungicides,our drones mating with aussie packages or what.
I would think that it's something new to the area. Aussie drones is a good bet. I've used a few pacs in the past and 2 of the 3 suppliers overthere had huge problems with chalkbrood. Colonies could die from it. I guess it was a swarm control method. About 30% of the brood could die from it. Mind you they've been around a few years now, I would have expected it sooner, unless you used some last year.
I have seen a bit more chalk brood than I normally do this year in our California bees though it was far from crippling, have never used any Aussie stock. It seems to have gone away fairly quickly after re-queening in Texas followed by nice build-up conditions.
I had not had a problem with chalkbrood for 15 years, moved to N.Y. with the same bees and the second year started with chalkbrood ( also had brought in some new queens) last year was getting rediculious. but also had other symptons. Treated all hives spring and fall with fumidil as I was sure I the queens I had bought had n.c., the only hives I have a chalkbrood problem with(two) didn't take there med's. Not scientific, no way to prove, but will see how it goes and adjust. Any other N.Y. beeks seeing chalkbrood?
I generally get a case or two every year...mostly if the spring is wet and cold. I replace the queens in these hives and they clear up good...
"I reject your reality, and substitute my own." Adam Savage
Many of the bees we got back from Cali 3 years ago were restocks of packages from across the pond. (That's another story)
We had a huge chalkbrood problem with those bees. After 2 years of wintering (subsequent high losses) and grafting from relatively chalk free survivors it is mostly gone.
This experience reiterates what I have learned over and over........utilizing mostly your own stock keeps you in the best bees. Same experience in TX over the years.

Photographers display work at Redmond Library
Exhibition on display through March 2
REDMOND, Ore. - Central Oregon is home to many amazing photographers, and some of their work is on display at the Redmond Public Library.
The annual Redmond Library Photography Exhibition is going on now.
The community is encouraged to go check out some of the work from our local artists.
About 60 pieces are on display throughout the library, and not only can you look, but you can also buy the art.
The pieces are selling fast: 10 of the pieces have already been purchased.
Redmond Library Supervisor Daniel Ball said Saturday that "700 to 900 folks come through here a day.So it's a phenomenal way to get exposure for your art and sell pieces, and not only contribute to the art side of our community but also make some money."
From every purchase, 20 percent of the proceeds goes directly back into the library.
That means more money for books, movies and CDs for the library.
Also on display is art from the Deer Ridge Correctional Facility's welding shop.
The show runs now until March 2nd.

The pistol's rear sight can be moved left or right, if you do it carefully.
Are you shooting to the left, or are you shooting down and to the left?
Are you right-handed, or left-handed?
At 20 yards, are you shooting off of a rest, or freehand and unsupported?
(The problem may be your technique, and not the gun's sights.)
We need more information.

After reading on the other forums about rearing your own queens, I am going to do some research. Does anyone recommend any of these books, good or bad.
Queen Rearing-Snelgrove
The introduction of Queen Bees- Snelgrove
Contemporary Queen Rearing-Laidlow
Instrumental Insemination of Honey Bee Queens-Laidlow
Or any suggestions? Thanks. Stonefly7

I believe there are letters out there stating 2 different things.
One said you need US parts and one said you didn't.
If you read the regs they read like you are exempt but then someone writes a letter and it says you need to comply. So who knows at this point.

APCNews - July 31 2008 - Year IX Issue 84
APCNews – July 31 2008 – Year IX Issue 84
The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
In edition 84, APC looks back at the accomplishments and challenges of last year through the APC Annual Report 2007. You can download it in English and shortly in Spanish, French and Urdu from apc.org. Since "growing the commons" is one of APC's strategic priorities for the next five years, we cover the iSummit 08 taking place in Sapporo, Japan. Policy analyst Alan Finlay looks at telecommunications reform in Africa, jumping off from a talk by Robert Horwitz given during an APC-organised research workshop in Johannesburg to frame latest developments. And we introduce you to APC's media piracy project – which questions whether the pirates are always the bad guys.
APC Annual Report 2007 – Building and strengthening networks for accessible, affordable, equal access to the internet
MONTEVIDEO (KAH for APCNews) – In existence as a virtual community since 1990, APC's leitmotif is building and strengthening online networks for social change. The Association for Progressive Communications invites you to read our 2007 annual report. It describes the challenges encountered building networks to influence international internet policy so that more people have reliable and affordable access to the internet, networks of technicians who are taking wireless to parts of Latin America where there's no internet, and networks of women concerned about keeping the internet safe but not censored.
Sapporo's free and open side
SAPPORO (FD for APCNews) – On July 29, free thinkers and open culture activists from around the world gathered on Hokkaidō island, Japan. What is so free and open about this venue, traditionally inhabited by the Ainu People? The fourth edition of the global ICommons ISummit, reply those converging on the island's city, Sapporo. The summit is set to "grow the commons" until August 1 and beyond, as participants – among them APC members and staff – will advocate for open content, open education, do-it-yourself video, and academic research on free culture.
>>Read Natalie Brown's blog post on linguistic diversity at iSummit 08
>>Watch Andrew Garton's in-the-field video, asking the question, what is the commons?
Privatisation on its own can be dangerous, workshop told
JOHANNESBURG (Alan Finlay for APCNews) – Privatisation without regulation does not necessarily improve service delivery, and may even decrease access to information and communication technology for the poor. This is the view of US-based academic and ICT policy analyst Robert Horwitz, who was speaking at a one-week research workshop held in Johannesburg in July 2008. Horwitz is no newcomer to South Africa, or to the politics behind antennas, cables and wires.
Media piracy: Approaching IP from the South
JOHANNESBURG (Natalie Brown for APCNews) – As new copyright laws attempt to keep pace with the shifting landscape of digital cultural production, legal restrictions on media use and distribution are being championed by heavyweights in the global media industry. This has led to the web of restrictions on media consumption becoming denser. Civil society network APC hopes to re-shape the discourse surrounding piracy by providing a thoroughly researched, credible alternative to the industry's data.

Almost like regular mayonaise, but there's a catch. Payonaise is actually the product you end up with after you've used your penis as a butter knife to spread mayonaise on your sandwich. Take the P from penis and the ayonaise from mayonaise and what do you get? Payonaise. You could also use this as a slang term for man juice.

Spring break could not have come soon enough for the Owen County Lady Rebels.
The Lady Rebels entered last week riding a two-game winning streak. That streak turned into a losing streak as the team dropped four straight games.
Owen County opened up the week with a home game against district rival Henry County. The Lady Wildcats shut down the Lady Rebels offensively and were able to come up with enough big hits to win 7-0.

ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 163, January 05, 1999
MPI_GathervThis a quick introduction to the MPI vector gather, or MPI_Gatherv operation. We'll have more on this in the next issue.
To get started, here's a reminder of the basic gather operation.
MPI_Gather is a single operation which allows you to send equally sized groups of data from an array on all processors to a single processor. The groups of data are (essentially) concatenated in rank order in the destination array on the destination processor.
Forgive the ASCII art, but here's a simple example. The root process gathers the first four elements of the array from all processors to a local array.
Processors: 0 1 2 Data: xxxx--- yyyy--- zzzz--- Result on Root: xxxxyyyyzzzzMPI_Gatherv extends the flexibility of the basic gather. It allows the sizes of the source groups to differ from processor to processor and lets their final positions within the destination array vary as well.
Here's a possible result:
Processors: 0 1 2 Data: x------ yyyy--- zzz---- Result on Root: yyyyx--zzz--
Eric Butcher LectureEric Butcher, UAF Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and ARSC Research Associate, is giving a talk next Tuesday. It is open to the public.
It is titled "Symbolic Bifurcation Boundaries and Time-Dependent Resonance Sets of Time-Periodic Nonlinear Systems" and will occur on Tues. March 9 at 4:00 p.m. in Duckering 333. In this talk Eric will discuss his use of Mathematica to generate certain symbolic expressions that define nonlinear bifurcation boundaries which have been unobtainable until recently.
QSUB -- Switching AccountsUsers with multiple resource accounts but only one login id need to be able to charge their runs to the appropriate accounts from their NQS runs. There are two approaches:
Use the QSUB -A option. From "man qsub":
-A (For systems running UNICOS or IRIX 6.2 or later only) Specifies the UNICOS account name or the IRIX project name under which the request will run.
- From within the script, use the "newacct" command. This would let you switch to different accounts for different portions of the script.
DMF Optimizations Follow-UpLast week's quick-tip suggested retrieving files in groups. E.g.,
dmget file.A file.B file.CSome have wondered why there was no mention of dmput.
The system for migrating files (as opposed to retrieving them) is quite complicated. For yukon users, the level of user control is especially small, as a dmput actually causes the file to be ftp'ed to a file system on chilkoot (ARSC's J90), where it waits for the chilkoot DMF "robot" to decide when to actually put the file to tape.
The best suggestion is to migrate and retrieve related groups of files together, and to do this as soon as you determine that these operations will be required. This lets the system seek possible optimizations.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:{{ You want extract clusters of lines from a file based on a start and end condition. [ ... ] Can you give a Unix command to do this? }} cat file.txt perl -e "while (<>) { print if /start/ .. /end/}" This command would search file.txt for a line containing the string, "start." It would print that line and continue printing lines until it found a line containing the string, "end." It would print that line, and resume the search for "start". To print all comments from a C source file: cat prog.c perl -e "while (<>) {print if /\/\*/ .. /\*\//}" A C programmer who consistently started typedefs in column 1 and ended them with the "}" also in column 1 might list them with this command: cat *.h perl -e "while (<>) {print if /^typedef/ .. /^\}/}" Q: You may have different storage quotas for files residing on disk and those that have been migrated by DMF to tape (this is true for ARSC users). How can you determine your current storage volume separated into disk and DMF components?

Get Fresh for the Festival
Music festival season is upon us, and it's time you learned how to stay so fresh and so clean all weekend.
Music festival season is an intense experience.

Video: Train wreck at the Video Music Awards
posted at 7:57 am on September 10, 2007 by Allahpundit
- Share on Facebook 1
Petraeus fee-vah is breaking across the land so let's shoot some crap out the airlock before the day gets going. The reviews this morning are withering, due partly to expectations of more energy for a comeback performance, partly to entertainment journalists having to pulp their fawning, pre-written "she's back, bitch!" bouquets, and partly because between the botched lip-syncing, sluggish non-choreography, and a little extra junk in the trunk, it … wasn't good. Not terribly, terribly bad either, but let's just say it's hard to conclude after watching that the rehab took. That old separated-at-birth item of mine was more apt than I knew.
At $750,000 a month, she'll be okay. Click the image to watch.
Update: "Britney Spears aimed to bring the house down when she opened the MTV Video Music Awards, but instead she just looked like a house."

Good lord! Any society that actually pays to watch that crap is in deep trouble.
rplat on September 10, 2007 at 8:08 AM
She shouldn't complain, she lasted a lot longer than most teen stars. If she can just not watch the rest of her life go by through the bottom of a glass.
Who would have thought Kevin Federline would turn out to be the "responsiblle" one.
doufree on September 10, 2007 at 8:09 AM
I kind of feel bad for her. She clearly didn't want to be there and was putting in a real half – bum performance. She certainly doesn't have the bod to pull off such a revealing outfit. Still not what I would call fat.
Then again, I don't think MTV should be too shocked by her crappy performance considering all of her shenanigans of late. She should go back to Louisiana and open up a restaurant or something. She won't ever be the star she once was again.
mjk on September 10, 2007 at 8:21 AM

You can shake your booty only so long, but finally you have to have talent. You know, like you can actually sing, not just lip sync. Poor Brit – she bamboozled the world for a long time, but in the end she just ain't got it.

CyberCipher on September 10, 2007 at 8:45 AM
For a woman that's had two kids, I don't think Britney looked that bad.
Mike Honcho on September 10, 2007 at 8:45 AM
As a woman of strong Christian faith, sneering at Britney is uncharitable.
Pop princess Britney Spears, for example, has littered the tabloids throughout this year – mostly in a negative way. She has had to deal with a second divorce, constant media slander, and even checked into a clinic to try to get her bearings straight.
But in the beginning, Spears entered the music scene as a relatively devout Christian. She was raised as a Southern Baptist in her home state of Mississippi, part of the Bible Belt, and began her fame with that as a foundation.
Some say through all the controversy that has happened, much of that background is still a part of her. Hollywood.tv reported her with the word "PUSH" tattooed onto her hand some weeks ago. The acronym, some believe, stands for "Pray Until Something Happens" and is normally printed on necklaces and bands sold at Christian shops.
Spears also wrote a note on her official website in mid-May thanking all her fans for all their prayers.
"I am so blessed that you care enough about me to be concerned and will continue to live in this brighter state with all of you by my side during this trying time," said the 25-year-old songstress. "We are all the lights of the world and we all need to continually inspire others and look to the higher power. You are all in my prayers. Godspeed."
While her words were encouraging to observers who hope to see Spears rebound from her fall from grace, the note was written on top of a picture of her posing topless with her arms folded across her chest.
Also discouraging was her most recent message to fans in which she closed by saying: "We will never really understand or figure out life completely. That's God's job. I can't wait to meet him … or her. Love, Britney."

Y'know who I feel most sorry for? Every one of those dancers on stage with her who did work for years to get to this stage (glorified stripper show that it was notwithstanding) only to be forever linked with this sorry piece of music history.
Captain Scarlet on September 10, 2007 at 8:48 AM
As a woman of strong Christian faith, sneering at Britney is uncharitable.
No, sneering at the sincerity of her faith if you have evidence that she's sincere is uncharitable.

From the other thread:
I'm not trolling the site. I just don't think it's necessary to sneer at the woman's faith. You have no reason to believe she's not sincere.

Are you joking? The woman is an attention whore who has no one to blame but herself.
SouthernDem on September 10, 2007 at 9:08 AM
I've never thought she was particularly talented or attractive, but she looks like a house? Because she's a size four, instead of a size zero?
You know what that sound was? Ten thousand teenaged girls clicking onto the nearest pro-ana site.
For a woman that's had two kids, I don't think Britney looked that bad.
Mike Honcho on September 10, 2007 at 8:45 AM
Cocaine. After Crystal Meth, it's the best weight loss drug there is.
I knew Brit would massively suck like the gaping maw she has become. She's been totally fried for too long not to.
What I really want to see is the footage of the Tommy Lee vs Kid Rock slap fight mentioned on the news… anyone see any footage of that anywhere?
SilverStar830 on September 10, 2007 at 9:33 AM
Slutney Spears has long been the Poster Girl for Useless People. I wish she'd buy herself an island in the South Pacific like Marlon Brando and Raymond Burr did and just go the hell away.
Frank Nitti on September 10, 2007 at 9:44 AM
Anyone who says she looked "fat" is on crack. Granted it was a crappy performance, but still, fat she was not.
"Thick" maybe…
Verbal Abuse on September 10, 2007 at 9:44 AM
She's definitely not fat and is still quite attractive in my opinion. But that outfit was an unfortunate and unflattering choice because it begged for comparisons to how she used to look when she was a nubile young 18-yr-old and not a dried up old 25-yr-old mother of two.
As for her demeanor, I'd say the rehab probably didn't take. She looked hung over or strung out or both. She just looked tired, off-balance, unhappy, and drained of energy. So sad, really. It's not fun to make fun of her anymore because she crossed some undefinable line for me. She's an object of pity now. Plus, I feel sorry for the kids. She needs to hire a good financial manager for the money she has left from her successful years, then just retire on the proceeds and get well.

Hening on September 10, 2007 at 9:56 AM
Never was a fan of her "music" or her choreographed dance moves. She's attractive enough but it takes more than looks to get me to buy a record. When it comes to musical talent, natural and spontaneous dancing (if any) and amazing looks, I highly recommend rock/metal bands like Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation (whom I'm seeing in St. Paul in a week!), Leaves Eyes, Nightwish, Flyleaf, Lullacry and several others. Most of the bands I mentioned are from across the Pond (Europe) but they all sing in english, they all rock aand they all have great looks that puts dear Britney to shame IMO.
I thought she looked completely out of it – she had a hard time keeping her footing. Drunk/stoned, maybe?
She did not look fat. At all. But she did look trussed up, non-confident, and like she was trying too damn hard. She could barely move her body and slouched around a lot. That made her look schlumpy, which everyone seems to translate as "fat". But she ain't fat.
Still…what a disaster. I cringe every time I see her. I saw this latest on Rachellucas.com and cannot imagine why she has NO ONE in her life to help her! It's reminiscent of a recurring nightmare where you forget to get dressed and find yourself naked (or in Britney's case, half-naked) in public. Why does no one stop her? "Britney, you forgot to put on your pants – your ass is hanging out. There's going to be 100 paparazzi ready to snap a shot of your butt. For God's sake, go get dressed. All the way dressed."
Redhead Infidel on September 10, 2007 at 10:07 AM
She's like the C-level chick you pick up at a club after you've went for the A-chick and struck out, watched the B-chick walk out the door because you were busy talking with an A-chick, and now there's Brittney because you're drunk and still in the mood.
Seriously. That's what she is. C-level all the way.
Christoph on September 10, 2007 at 10:09 AM
I thought she looked good…but I like women who are fat in all the right places. Her act sucked though.

I am more concerned that all the flap is about her weight and not the outfit/skit itself. Anyone notice the "TV14" rating at the beginning…do you want your 14 year-old emulating that? Besides that, if she is considered fat and "schlumpy" as some have said it is no wonder the teen suicide rate is so high!
JNC1991 on September 10, 2007 at 10:42 AM

I've checked with the American Society of Astronomers. Last year, based on much evidence, they concluded Pluto should no longer be considered a planet. This year, based on this evidence, they have concluded Brittany Spears should no longer be considered a star.

The ironic thing Allah..with your being an athiest..you probably hit the mark right on about the sincerity of her faith. THis is the kind of thing that makes me want to reach for the duct tape to put around my head to keep it from exploding..lol…is the misconception that just because someone says they are a Christian..does not make it so. Being Christian is having a personal relationship with Christ and handing your life over to Christ. Just this morning, I was listening to the news about the Neo Nazi gang busted in Israel..their crime was beating up people because of their heritage or Jewishness. The news host asked the reporter if the gang anctually consists of Jews out of bewilderement because of the contradiction in such a thing possibly existing…and his reply was..it was actually seven Christians and one Jew that consisted of the group. Do wha…who says they are Christians??? THe actual thugs do??? DOes this make them Christians??? Is there a decease going around that is effecting the brain cells of reporters and the media???? There is no way possible that a person going around threatening..much less beating up persons because of their heritage, Jewishness or for any reason..can be one and the same..they could not be a true Christian….it goes against all their being. Is this too part of the attack of Christianity..by putting the thought into the masses.. that Christians go around beating up people??? There should be a distinction between being a "gentile" and a Christian..Just as there is a distinction between Orthodox Jew and Reformed Jew..you have Muslims and you have Islamists..but it appears that when it comes to being Christian or a thug who is claiming to be Christian..it is being intentionally blurred when it comes to the media and to those people who don't want or chose to see it.

Ya, that's a good point about the weight issue. These media types will crow about how flabby she is, then next week do a show about how Hollywood images are hurting young girls.
I watched part of it, how can you tell if that kind of music is crappy? Were those stripper poles on the tables in the audience? Class acts those "artists" are.
reaganaut on September 10, 2007 at 10:59 AM
I'd like to add a closing thought on my above post..as a Christian..I truly pray that she is one..and that like a sheep, she has lost her way and that one day soon, she will open her eyes and embrace what God meant for her life and soon, before she does more harm to her life and her children's lives. Sometimes people have to hit bottom, before they find they need God in their life again and pull themselves back to HIM..and I pray this is the case with her.
hotvol on September 10, 2007 at 11:04 AM
Fat? This is what people call fat? Good grief! Britney is a horrible role model, should not be wearing clothes like that and her performance and music were awful, but fat??? Puh-leeeeze!!!!!! I could only hope to look that good after bearing children.
Anyway, I doubt she's a christian. She may have been raised in a certain christian denomination, but so what? So are thousands and thousands of other people who's lifestyles betray the fact that they do NOT know Christ. For her sake and the sake of her children, I pray she truly abandons herself to Him. He is her only hope.
Nolamom67 on September 10, 2007 at 11:19 AM
I'm surprised she didn't resort to having sex on stage with all those blankheads. She just kept saying in that infantile voice: Gimme, gimme gimme.
How any real man would find this white trash ho bag slut sack attractive is beyond my comprehension.

I've never felt so old as when I was "watching" MTV last night. I kept changing the channel because I simply didn't know who a good three quarters of the people were. Britney was just cringe inducing (although she's definitely not "fat" by my definition – just not the weight she once was). And from what I understand all of the acts were trying to be edgy and different when all they were doing was reinventing the rock 'n roll wheel. Plus none of them seemed rebellious. They just seemed boring and I'm tired of all of them.
Who knew I would wax nostalgic for the time of Poison and Milli Vanilli? Go figure.
mjk on September 10, 2007 at 11:22 AM
I thought Britney looked great with a little meat on her bones — skin-and-bones stick figurines do nothing for me. But yes, I agree that the "skimpy bra and panties" look is more Victoria's Secret than Bust. And right now, Brit is a definitely a Bust girl.
MikeOK on September 10, 2007 at 11:31 AM
Lousy song, but she's got it beat over Whitney "Skeletor" Houston and the undernourished set.
"I just want more" seems to include fried foods and Twinkies, but, if she would find a good man, she'll come out on top in the end.
(Same problem Whitney had… dogs for guys.)
I wish her luck, and not "Lucky".
profitsbeard on September 10, 2007 at 11:41 AM
The person who really deserves the opprobrium here is the backstage director who said to her just before she went on "Okay, Brit, this isn't for air – it's just a choreography walkthrough to make sure we've got the blocking right. Don't hurt yourself…"
eeyore on September 10, 2007 at 11:42 AM
Being Christian is having a personal relationship with Christ and handing your life over to Christ.
And sometimes a lot of people who really yearn for and need to have that relationship struggle to get it, taking a lot of steps backward for every step forward, especially if they are wrestling with more craven impulses like illicit sex, drug-taking and general immorality, the kind of stuff that is championed by, say, MTV.
So I think it's a bit too easy to dismiss someone as insincere in their faith when the truth might actually be more complicated, like maybe they're struggling with their faith rather than being insincere.
It seems to me that Britney's struggling, and I'll definitely throw her a prayer or two that she finds the strength to find her devotion.

What is upsetting is with the ocean of great talent that never gets air time, this is what is foisted on us as star quality. Britney? Kanye? 50 Cent? WhoTF cares. Why not prop a box of fruity coco puffs in front of the mic. They're just as "Popular" with even more depth and intellect.
ronsfi on September 10, 2007 at 1:14 PM
She looked like hell – way too fat for her own good.
The song is fabulous though, they are already playing remixes of it up here. I heard it in a club a few weeks back and the crowd loved it – great dance tune, but then again this is Manahttan….

I agree Kensington…as noted in my follow up post right behind the first…I pray she's just lost her way for awhile and will find her way back after fighting whatever she's fighting right now. The sad thing..as conservatives, which is what this site is really all about..I know as a Christian..and I hope as conservatives..we can hope and pray that she finds her peace with God instead of calling her all these adolescent like names..I can go to DailyKos to read that kind of foolishness. I'm not defending her..I know she brings on alot of her troubles on herself..but that doesn't mean we can or should find joy in that. There was a day when I use to worry about the Madonnas and the Spears influencing our young girls..but I don't know..I think they are so revealing of their unhappiness..that even our young folk are seeing through this facade.
hotvol on September 10, 2007 at 2:33 PM
This bad performance was staged to be a bad performance. No one is interested in a stable Brittney. I believe the plan all along was for it to be a train wreck.
OK, I made it through the first minute and gave up.
When I watch a singing performance, I expect to see someone singing. Not just moving their lips like the "macho" boy required to take junior high choir. I couldn't care less if they can "dance" as long as they can sing!
When did "music performances" turn into dance/drama performaces based on music? Thank you MTV!
taznar on September 10, 2007 at 3:01 PM
Its too late Brit.. you let the trailer trash gig go on wayyyy too long.. Next
It was like watching a bloated drag queen do a cover of a Britney Spears song.
I'd rather jog home from my own vasectomy than suffer through that self deprecating crock of douche. MTV takes the cake for fashioning itself into such a massive rotting blow-hole of sucktitude. It takes some impressive cesspool shoveling skills to resurrect this Titan of bimboland. "…she's back, b*tch!" Yeah – just like Star Wars was 'back' with Episode One. At least ILM bothered to match the lines up with the mouths of the Gungan asylum rejects. If I caught my teen purchasing this maggot laden guano they call 'music,' I think I'd ground them from sound.
MTV should be ashamed.

I haven't watched the VMAs in years, and if any of you have kids, they shouldn't be either… Britney's "song" is a sold as a "stripper anthem", and that was clear from the pathetic performance. These awards have become nothing but a way to show your kids how to be degenerates and teach them it's "cool to be gay" over the past few years.
At any rate, the Sarah Silverman line that supposedly pushed Britney over the edge is contained in the following (which is actually pretty funny):
Washington, Sept 10 (ANI): Months after slamming Paris Hilton, Sarah Silverman made fun of troubled pop star Britney Spears during her monologue at the MTV Video Music Awards.
After Spears performance at the awards event, Silverman mocked at the singer's early success.
"Was that incredible? She is amazing. I mean, she is 25 years old and she's already accomplished everything she's going to accomplish in her life," TMZ quoted Silverman, as saying.
"It's weird to think that just a few years ago on this very show, she was this, like, sweet innocent little girl in slutty clothes writhing around with a python. That's not nice…calling Madonna a python," she added.
Silverman also called Spears' kids the 'most adorable mistakes' one can commit.
"Have you seen Britney's kids? Oh my god, they are the most adorable mistakes you will ever see! They are as cute as the hairless vagina they came out of," she said. (ANI)
RightWinged on September 10, 2007 at 4:17 PM
Oh, and here we go AGAIN with that b**ch Kanye West:
Speaking of crybabies, Kanye West says he's had it with MTV after he got snubbed again at the VMAs, throwing a tantrum backstage after losing all five categories for which he was nominated.
"That's two years in a row, man … give a black man a chance," said West, who was described by the AP as "stomping around his entourage." "I'm trying hard man, I have the … number one record, man." It's not the first time West has whined about an awards-show shutout — last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards to complain.
RightWinged on September 10, 2007 at 4:17 PM
Britney is not fat. In my opinion, she's finally melting down after years of supporting of her family and how natural is it for a parent to use their child for money, status, etc.? It's not! Guessing that she lacks a true support system as well. Very sad.
Nothing nice to say about Kanye West. He's a stupid human being. Idiot!
yggdrasil on September 10, 2007 at 5:10 PM
I find it funny the people who want to criticize Spears as being "fat" or with a "paunch." Admittedly, she's not as tight down there as she used to be, but she's still in pretty good shape after two kids.
I want to see how flat the stomachs are of all the people on TMZ who are calling her paunchy.
I certainly think Spears has done an awful job with herself and her children the last few months. But the schadenfraude over this woman is absolutely incredible.
asc85 on September 10, 2007 at 5:42 PM
When your act is based on a striptease and the audio engineer mixes your voice with echo and reverb so that it sounds like you can sing…
What do you expect?
She never had any talent but taking her clothes off to begin with.
Now that her 18 year old rock solid bimbo looks are starting to fade, so is her so called career.
She is done, unless you call a flabby butt strutting across the stage in a haze talent.
She looks like a bloated alcoholic compared to her previous strip shows.
Sarah Silverman is another piece of work. She is the most disgusting foul mouthed Bxxx I ever had the displeasure to hear or watch.
ScottyDog on September 10, 2007 at 5:47 PM
I'm all for trashing her crappy performance but to say she's fat?
You are right she is considered fat in the industry in NY and LA but not in Middle America where fat rules….
In Manhattan if you are fat you really can't leave the house, people look at you in disgust. But when you travel to Maryland, VA and Florida it's a non issue. You can't even get a decent job up here if you are over weight.
I think the real problem is that we have taught our daughters to accept their bodies way too much. My mother thinks is ridiculous the way some of these girls in their late teens and early 20s are huge. Like she says, when she was that age had she been fat like that – no one would have spoken to her. Way too much acceptance of one's flaws.
I blame Oprah for starting it all.

Anyone see the last televised Elvis concert in 1977? (or am I showing my age?) The one where he was completely bloated from drugs and over eating, couldn't remember any of the words to his songs, and just stood in the middle of the stage, occasionally bending a knee? Well, that used to be the most pathetic performance ever aired on televison, but not anymore. Thank-you Britney for rinsing that stain off the King's record by pacing back and forth in your boyshorts and bra — completely cluless as to where you are and what you are doing.

robblefarian on September 10, 2007 at 6:30 PM
Whoever is handling her is doing a terrible job. The song the costume, the choreography, might work for and 18 year old Britney type even with minimal talent. If she had the song, costume and choreography for a 25 year old mother of 2 with minimal talent she could have a good – probably not great – future.

You could cut her in half and she STILL wouldn't be skinny.
They had to hold this event at Las Vegas cuz if it was closer to the coast Greenpeace would have tried to throw her in the ocean.
When she fell in that dancer's arms he screamed out one at a time please.
Satelites orbit her.
She has her own zip code.
She went to the Lotus dealership and asked to see something that could go from 0 to 200 in less than 30 seconds and they handed her a scale!

Today marks a qualitative shift in the highly contentious asset sales programme with the launch of the Mighty River Power shares offer. As John Armstrong says today, 'Opposition MPs can keep arguing the wrongs of state asset sales' but 'Those MPs will now only be talking to themselves' because the debate has moved on - see: Ad campaign waste of taxpayer money.
In fact, the debate moved on properly last week with the Supreme Court's green light to Government. Any other decision would have been a disaster for National. For although the Government's polling has shown sturdy resistance to their many blunders over the past year, the prospect of the asset sales grinding to a halt would have challenged even their Teflon coating. None of the fall-back options: overriding legislation, negotiation with iwi, retreat from the policy or even an early election, would have been politically palatable according to Armstrong's other recent column on the issue - see: Water rights remain political hot potato. So the relief in the Beehive would have been huge last week - even if there are still quite a few bumps on the horizon. Politically, the decision was a crucial win says Vernon Small: 'the short-term battle for Mr Key and his Government is getting big numbers of Kiwis to snap up the shares and, in that, they are well on the way to victory' - see: Mighty River likely to prove mighty tempting.
The decision may have bigger implications than just an immediate political boost for National, however.
The Supreme Court didn't stop the sales but it clearly signalled that it could if it considered Treaty obligations were not being met. For John Roughan this confirms what is currently being debated in the Constitutional Review: 'The citizen panel and its opponents are likely to waste a long conversation on whether the Treaty can or should be at the heart of our constitution. It is' - see: Asset sales go ahead on trust. This is a view reinforced by Geoffrey Palmer in Audrey Young's We can all take comfort when the court speaks as one.
The Government itself may provide its own next hurdle to a successful sale according to David Beatson. He says the prospect of a new charging regime for freshwater - 'a resource the power generators currently tap for nothing' - must 'reflect adversely on the sums that the Government will receive for shares.... It looks like a very limited success in the Supreme Court has gone to a few heads around the Cabinet table' - see: The Mighty River Battle is on again. There will be much focus on the price of Mighty River shares in the next few weeks, but it's unlikely that many analysts will go as far as strategy consultant Wayne Cartwright, who says 'The assets are likely to be worth at least double the amount the Government is prepared to accept'. He says that our cheap renewable hydro will be increasingly valuable - see: Asset sale is 'strategic blunder'. And as John Armstrong points out about the new $1.1m advertising sales campaign, 'The public could be justified in questioning the publicity campaign because it is not really necessary', as 'the offer is likely to be heavily over-subscribed and applications will have to be scaled back'.
National appears to be on safer ground, electorally, despite such criticisms. After all, the record over the past year would indicate that such arguments, further blunders and even a resounding 'no' in a referendum will not dent National's polling. Tracy Watkins has a very good summary and analysis of recent events, including Solid Energy, SkyCity, the Hobbit and Defence civilianisation - see: Starting gun sounds for asset sales. She says 'the last couple of weeks have been a return to the worst days of 2012, when National's economic programme seemed stuck in quicksand and Mr Key and his ministers spent most of their time fighting bushfires. Cue 2013 and here we go again'. But the polling is the same as well. David Shearer may have crushed any immediate challenge but he faces the same yawning poll gap that unnerved many of his MPs last year.
Also, crucially, the voters that are unconvinced by the asset sales might now be more inclined to ask what the Opposition will do about them once elected. Labour is particularly weak on this question, as discussed today by Chris Trotter in his blogpost, The Opportunity Cost Of David Shearer. Trotter points to Shearer's recent comments that he's '"not sure" that the case for public ownership of state assets "stacks up"', and according to Trotter, Shearer uses 'precisely the argument of the Minister of Finance, Bill English' to avoid committing to repurchase shares in the energy companies. This just reinforces how much the asset sales programme has now moved on, and that National will be much happier with this new phrase of the debate.
