Yes, it can be done very easily. The following command shows a
ParametricPlot3D modified so it has no edges:
ParametricPlot3D[ {Sin[x] Cos[y], Cos[x] Cos[y], Sin[y]},
{x, 0, Pi/2}, {y, 0, Pi/2}];
Or, you can do it in one command by doing:
ParametricPlot3D[{Sin[x] Cos[y], Cos[x] Cos[y], Sin[y]},
{x, 0, Pi/2}, {y, 0, Pi/2}, DisplayFunction->Identity]];

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Iowa and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Thread: New England/NY Jets game
New England/NY Jets game
Well, I'm gonna watch this game, and try to forget about the Ravens game. I'm not gonna have my week ruined again.
So now, believe it or not, we have to root for the Jets, as distasteful as that sounds. One of these teams will be tied with us at 6-3 after tonight. If it's the Jets, we already hold the tiebreaker with the earlier win over them. If it's the Pats, they will hold the tiebreaker over us with a 5-2 conference record (vs our 4-2 record).

Like several other Shimer students, I at nearly all times am under an obligation to finish two sets of readings: those enjoined upon me by my classes and those enjoined upon me by my classmates. At present, I have four books lent me by my fellow Shimerians:
I) V for Vendetta, by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. Lender: Joe Bradshaw. Reason for Lending: I'm not really sure, to tell the truth. I suppose Joe thought my life would improve were I to punctuate my philosophical studies with a few comic books. (Incidentally, I have returned Joe's compliment and foisted upon him no fewer than three volumes of my own: Sense and Sensibilia, by J. L. Austin; Intention, by G. E. M. Anscombe; and Virtues and Vices, by Philippa Foot.)
II) Institution and Passivity, by Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Lender: Ben Bornstein. Reason for Lending: I think I mentioned to Ben that, while I enjoyed reading Edmund Husserl, I was sadly ill-versed in later phenomenologists, Merleau-Ponty specifically. He was kind enough to offer me a remedy for this ignorance.
III) Common Morality, by Bernard Gert. Lender: Chris Roberts (okay, not really a Shimerian: he's a student worker at the IIT library, which I am wont to patronise). Reason for Lending: Chris, a science journalism major, knows me to be a.) inclined towards subjects philosophical and b.) much enamoured of clarity in philosophical writing. Having taken an ethics course in which he read Common Morality and found it to satisfy both of those preferences, he thoughtfully let me borrow a copy and asked for my comments once finished.
IV) The Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, and Doctrines and Covenants (Scriptures acknowledged by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). Lender: Isaac Coda Marchant-Shapiro. Reason for Lending: I'm not entirely clear about the significance of this episode, but Isaac (himself a Mormon) gave it to me saying that he had sworn he would lend it to a practising Catholic should ever he meet one. I suppose this oath will make more sense after reading the books.

Katarzyna- Thank you so much for the look up for my Brackenbury's. Even though you did not find my Benjamin B. I think you found his wife Elizabeth as age 65 Lincoln St Swithin. Both Benjamin & Elizabeth were at Lincoln St Swithin on the 1851 and I believe were running a rooming house - perhaps he was absent at time of census. Marilyn

If you need someone to blame, look no further than the people on the Eagles board that were probably banned from here for doing just that. I wasn't around for any of it, but I'd wager that things probably got very out of hand, considering the level of intolerance that we now use as a guideline for personal attacks.
Its a shame. I agree that having opposing fans around would keep things interesting. Its just too bad that so few of them are capable of staying in line.

I disagree, this sort of behavior only stands to help the GOP. As these type of people and their type of ridiculous statements continue to be more mainstream in the Democratic Party, the more people will see it for what it truly is. The MSM can only cover for them so much. I'm still in shock over the fact they were stupid enough to make Howard Dean chairman, and that compared to everything else we've seen from them recently, that doesn't seem like a big deal!

oh by the way, it's important to note that Huffington essentially called the Kurds liars and mocked them for thanking America.
RightWinged on September 13, 2006 at 10:32 PM
I saw this segment, and not only have I seen the "The Other Iraq" DVD, but I've also seen "Saddam – WMD" DVD, which is THE MUST SEE DVD of the century! And Arianna Huffy… "so what?" You stupid airhead should see and hear the victims of the Kurdish gassings, you dim bulb! OMG, the "Saddam WMD" video has been in my personal collection since it was available for pre-order about 6 months ago, and the entire DVD is heart-breaking. There is a woman in there, and a bit of her is shown on the ad on the Vent, whose son was gassed and his face nearly burned off. I heard people talking about running to shelters, having to pull the doors shut while hearing people screaming who were outside as the toxic gasses washed over them. So very sad… I sobbed and sobbed heavily the first time I watched this, and I still do to this day when I can bear to watch it again, and I encourage EVERY ONE of you to go to IraqiTruthProject.com and buy the DVD today! It's the best $20 you will ever spend on your self-edification.
Thanks, Allah, for posting this.. you beat me to it, but I'm glad someone did. Just reminds me how irrelevant the leftists are.

you're right RightWinged, the more these liberals spew their hatred for this country and it's allies (i.e. the kurds)the better chance the Republicans will win the Senate / House & even the White House.
Starblazer on September 13, 2006 at 11:04 PM
I am going to have to deviate from the pack, and say I agree wholeheartedly with Arianna. I fail to see how liberating the Kurds helps even one iota in keeping Arianna at the center of everyone's attention, or in making Hollywood celebrities like Arianna more, or in affirming Arianna's ego, or in making Arianna a more effective starfucker. I think it's high time we got our foreign policy priorities straight, after all.

So what?! Wow. Finally, at least a liberal says out loud what most of us knew already. They don't care "one iota" about spreading democracy at all. They want to protect the rights of terrorists, but they could care less if a people who experienced genocidal attacks against them are liberated. She thinks that a genuine expression of thanks by these liberated people toward America is "sad". If there is any instance when a liberal's patriotism should be questioned, I think this should qualify. The Dems are not the "loyal opposition" anymore. They are a national disgrace. This video should be played over and over on television to illustrate the moral, ideological, and intellectual vacancy of the extreme Left. They are out of control. But, will there be outrage over this? Sadly, I fear there will only be silence.
I don't know what the big deal is. She has simply said out loud what Liberals actually think.
Millions of Iraqis freed? So what.
Millions of Afghanis freed. So what.
Kurds no longer in fear of being gassed? So what.
Radical Muslims want to kill anyone who disagrees with them? So what.
George Bush wants to protect you and me from terrorists? Kill him!!

What a "progressive" day it's been:
1. Khatami preaches the execution of gays and the Harvard elites sit silent…
2. Arianna on Kurdish liberation "so what?"… and
3. Rosie equates 'radical Christianity' to 'radical Islam'
4. Masses continue to clap in the POTUS assasination movie…
This mind wonders how we're going to make it to Nov. 7 and what Arianna will do/say on Nov. 8…
Above all, the real enemy rejoyces. Rome took 300 years to decline – at this rate, the West won't be that long, unfortunately.
Conservatives, independents and moderate Democrats, open your eyes wide and act, before it's too late and our country and the free world are destroyed by utter insanity.

Anyone know why there isn't a follow-up image to the one posted above by AP? Certainly Green Helmet came in to parade the body of that dead child around before Reuters stringers, perhaps putting it in an ambulance, then taking it back out and on to the ground to get cameras in a better position before doing it again.

Arianna is an airhead . . . a rich airhead but nevertheless an airhead. Frequently I suspect that her IQ is less than the sum of her digits.
rplat on September 14, 2006 at 8:50 AM
You know what I love about her comments… The "so what?" shocked me but, she actually was for bypassing the Posse Comitatus Act and bringing the troops in Iraq home to be "re-deployed" to the ports and across the US! She was advocating turning the US into a semi-police state! She wants troops to be deployed the US folks, how would her liberal friends feel about that?
I have faith in the US Armed Forces but they are for fighting wars, not running security at US ports Adrianna!
mdconservative on September 14, 2006 at 9:39 AM
The RNC needs to put a national ad together that shows Arianna, Rosie, and Michael Moore, etal saying these obsurd things and run it in primetime. Or, is that against campaign finance reform????
pullingmyhairout on September 14, 2006 at 10:47 AM
Remember in the last national election the Dems were complaining that at first they couldn't their message out on their candidate, which then morphed into the people are too stupid to understand our message.
To paraphrase President Bush, "The people hear you, and soon this whole country will reject you".
Complain because they can't get the message out then complain because they got their message and once the sane people truly hear it they reject it. Liberals do not take rejection very well. They go into long periods of denial. It is amazing that today 7 years after the defeat of Al Gore there are still groups trying to get recounts as if we are suddenly going to say like in the NFL, "Upon further review the play on the field as called is …."

oh by the way, it's important to note that Huffington essentially called the Kurds liars and mocked them for thanking America.

Exactly again. A plan for our soldiers- bring em home (cut and run) and line em up ..where? at the ports? In airports so she can bash them there? Profiling on the borders maybe?
Where is she from?
She really is below most standards of basic intelligence, a lobotomy might be in order.
I've emailed O'Reily and Hannity continuously to complain about them allowing this idiot on their show. Who really CARES what she has to say? Here's a plagiarist, liar, and person who entered a marriage of convenience, and we really care what she has to say? Are you kidding me?
if this doesn't help the Republicans win the House / Senate & even the White House – then we're all in trouble.
Cate96706 – why should you even care what liberals say about you, just let it go into one ear & out the other ear or you can tell them to either "Bite Me" or s.t.f.u.

She's born in Greece, that bastion of socialism, educated at Cambridge/England, married conservative (opportune union), became a 'compassionate conservative', fought like hell for her then-husband to become a conservative Sen. of California, he lost, then ran away with a man, they divorced, she reverted back to her natural liberalism. She's back 'home'.
She lives a few doors from him and his 'male-wife' now, with their two daughters. Maybe she's a bit scorned but politically she was a conservative fake, for expediency and lots of money, for many, many years. She's trying to 'repent' for her political guilt now.
Entelechy on September 14, 2006 at 1:18 PM
Arianna said "So what?" because we need to protect America, not the world. Hasn't that been the conservative rallying cry for years. Besides, not to minimize the tragedy, but we've been protecting their a*ses ever since.

Yes, that was the conservative position in the past. But even stick-in-the-mud Conservatives can learn from history. Waiting until Hitler became a world power was not a good move. We figured it out. Waiting until the Jihadists get the bomb, or WMDs, or take over Europe, or establish a national base of operations, or all of the above is not a good move.
And, sometimes, as unpleasant as it is, "protecting their a*ses" becomes a necessary part of protecting our own.
We just can't hide between our two oceans anymore. (Nostalgic sigh)

Replacing lead Keel bolts
1 Attachment(s)
The Keel bolts looked good, but when I went to check the torque, all but two twisted off with little effort. Kinda scary. Anyway, its a lead keel, probably has the studs casted in. I would like to replace, or add new bolts next to the failed ones with out fully removing the keel. I heard that some have used lag bolts. Has anyone tried anchor bolts? Like for concrete? Or, I wonder if setting a helicoil into the lead would be strong enough? Or maybe some other type of blind insert?
Re: Replacing lead Keel bolts
I believe I would drill a new hole for the new stud. Then drill a large hole in the side of the keel to meet the end of the first hole to put a nut/washer on. Drop in some threaded rod, put a nut on the bottom, one on the top and torque it down. I would probably try to remove the old ones first but that may be more trouble than it is worth.
Re: Replacing lead Keel bolts
It's a good thing you torqued them down, sounds like there's not much holding that keel to the boat. No matter how you decide to fix it, you should really drop that keel enough so it can be cleaned out & rebeded.
You may want to check these guys out.

Re: Replacing lead Keel bolts
on a 30+ year old boat, I certainly would not use some threaded rod and a few nuts....were it an iron keel you may have gotten away with "unscrewing" them and replacing with the correct pitch bolts
IMHO this is a wake up call to have the keel repaired or replaced by a reputable mechanic or yard with experience. The threaded rod generally available today is junk, not coated or strong enough for your task. The original bolts were likely "L" or "J" shaped and quite stout stainless or coated steel and cast in place as the keel was poured. If you do drill holes be aware that hitting that hidden stainless will likely walk the bit around and out where you really don't want it to...that assumes you can find a decent bit long enough.
Same with any blind insert that will be inserted from the top, If two were bad, you can be assured the others are not too far behind.
For your safety, get it fixed correctly
Re: Replacing lead Keel bolts
I think the solution here is not to spend $3,000+ to repair a 33 year old 25 foot boat. That is why doing it yourself is appealing. What really is a viable alternative?
Re: Replacing lead Keel bolts
Well, drilling the hole the side of the keel is an excellent idea. I dont see how that would be any less strong then the boat yard method. I believe they sink new J or T bolds, then melt lead in to fill the gap. I think drilling a hole then inserting a circular stainless plug, with a radial tapped hole is the ticket. I think I will use good quality bolts instead of all-thread. I should have thought of that. Kudos!
Re: Replacing lead Keel bolts
Most cast in place bolts are just threaded rod, with different designers preferring stainless others like hss steel, and there is a small faction switching to other more exotic materials. For replacement though there really isn't a good option except melting the lead away from the old bolts, and replacing them with new. Frankly a hex head bolt cast in place is a pretty poor option. The head has pretty minimal surface area compared to T or J rod, which increases the problems of point loading.
As for material, it really depends on what you are looking for. A quick cheap fix to get back on the water, go with steel.
Arguably better is stainless, but in keel bolts it has a lot of problems.
If you want to fix it once and never worry about it again, titanium.
Re: Replacing lead Keel bolts
Some people will grind out a pocket on one side of the keel so you can put a bigass washer & nut on a piece of s.s. rod & crank it down from inside the bilge. Then you just fill & fair the keel pocket you created with epoxy.
This works if you need to repair a keel bolt or two. Sounds like in your case the only thing holding the keel on is the 5200 it got bedded in 33 years ago.
Re: Replacing lead Keel bolts
GeneT has the best advice here IMHO but I'd add one other choice. Your keel is only 1200 Lbs or so - not a huge lump. There is a type of fastener called a "Hanger Bolt" that has conventional threads on 1/2 of it and lag type threads on the other 1/2. If you got some good big ones in good metal, carefully drilled new boltholes, no larger than the minor axis of the lag threads and wrenched them down into the lead it should be adequate.
I believe Catalina advises this type of repair on one or more of their smaller boats. It's called "sistering" the bolts.
Re: Replacing lead Keel bolts
I am familiar with hanger bolts. That sistering Idea sounds easy. Hmmmmmm. I could add a couple extra bolts too.
...And it is for sure hanging by the 5200 like a dingle berry, lol. All the nuts are loose or broke. Thats strong stuff.

Yeah, a few weeks late, but I thought I'd let you guys know that I went through 5 days of some pretty high speed training. Basically, squad designated marksmen are kind of an intermediary between Joe Infantryman and Snipers. Usually the course is a bit longer, but due to time constraints, the trainers (who were great by the way - one of the E6 types was a Presidents 100 guy) were able to get this training done in 5 days of shooting.
The goal of the training was to get us to be able to make 5-600 yard (the KD range we were on was in yards, but in reality, you could apply it to meters) kills using nothing other than the M4 you are issued and iron sights. We also played with the M68 CCO (same thing as an Aimpoint). 0-300meters/yards I prefer the CCO, but past that I'll keep my irons. Now I *really* want to get an AR for myself.
On the last day of shooting, when we did a scored shoot, I hit 6/10 at 500 yards, and 4/10 at 600 yards. This put me tied for second place. First place had 11/20 (forgot what the breakdown of his score was). Oh yeah, this was timed by the way. Also, with the 600 yards, I was off on my windage adjustment. From what I recall, I think the 6 shots I missed hit 8-12 inches to the left of the target. 2 clicks right and I should have been good.
So yeah, it was good shit. Of course, me being me, I have a picture taken after the last day...

"Banks are in a position of not knowing how long or how bad the credit crunch is going to be," said Rajeena Brar, consultant with Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC). "At this point banks are very reluctant to take on short-term projects which last two months to two years."
Because of this, IT consulting services, systems integration and spending on IT contract staff and IT training are likely to see cuts in spending during 2008.
However, Brar said outsourcing and offshoring are expected to rise as banks seek to do more with reduced budgets, with banks closing parts of their UK operations and shifting these to locations such as India.
HSBC recently announced it will be shutting its Scottish payments processing centre and credit card firm Capital One is axing 750 jobs at its operations in Nottingham and shifting most of the roles, such as account servicing, to offshore locations.

There has been a lot of talk about blasphemy in the anti-islam movie "Innocence of Muslims". It is not actually a movie but a 14 minute piece of crap.
Here it is! Watch it if you dare! It is tragically bad. I am offended and I am an Atheist. The average middle school student could do a better job. The overdubs are so bad that I could not help but laugh out loud.
However, this is America and Blasphemy is not a crime. I can say what I want about islam, christianity, or the FSM (SBUH – Sauce Be Upon Him).
"We have seen recently that most of the Islamic world is demanding that all people avoid defaming their prophet, and suddenly across America our citizens are obeying out of fear or political correctness. We are losing our right to criticize, via our own submission,"
If you think it is wrong to make an image of Allah – then don't! However, I will not bow down to the rules of your religion. I don't care if it is about making images or not pushing button one day each week. Follow silly rules if you want but leave me out of it.
I think Thomas Paine had it right!
My own mind is my own church.
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
The best future for humanity is to throw off the chains of religion. Religion does not lead us to truth. It hides it.
The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there's no place for it in the endeavor of science. – Carl Sagan
The idea that you would rise up, burn down shops and kill people because someone made a 14 minute crappy video is not acceptable. This is not a value I hold.
I worry about the reaction of our government. If we pull down "Innocence of Muslims" we all lose. Recently the GOP has raised concerns that we will be weak when responding to this issue.
I am very happy and proud to hear the speech below by President Obama!
You can see the full text here… or watch the video below. Some key points….
If we are serious about upholding these ideals, it will not be enough to put more guards in front of an Embassy; or to put out statements of regret, and wait for the outrage to pass. If we are serious about those ideals, we must speak honestly about the deeper causes of this crisis. Because we face a choice between the forces that would drive us apart, and the hopes we hold in common.
Today, we must affirm that our future will be determined by people like Chris Stevens, and not by his killers. Today, we must declare that this violence and intolerance has no place among our United Nations.
Yes! There is no place for violence. He then talks about freedom and self governance. (a little of the topic of this post – but it was so good)
We have taken these positions because we believe that freedom and self-determination are not unique to one culture. These are not simply American values or Western values – they are universal values. And even as there will be huge challenges that come with a transition to democracy, I am convinced that ultimately government of the people, by the people and for the people is more likely to bring about the stability, prosperity, and individual opportunity that serve as a basis for peace in our world.
Back to the freedom of speech.
Nelson Mandela once said: "to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." True democracy demands that citizens cannot be thrown in jail because of what they believe, and businesses can be opened without paying a bribe. It depends on the freedom of citizens to speak their minds and assemble without fear; on the rule of law and due process that guarantees the rights of all people.
I started to worry a little when President Obama got to this part…
That is what we saw play out the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. I have made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this video, and I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity. It is an insult not only to Muslims, but to America as well…
But, It was a great way to frame what follows…
I know there are some who ask why we don't just ban such a video. The answer is enshrined in our laws: our Constitution protects the right to practice free speech. Here in the United States, countless publications provoke offense. Like me, the majority of Americans are Christian, and yet we do not ban blasphemy against our most sacred beliefs. Moreover, as President of our country, and Commander-in-Chief of our military, I accept that people are going to call me awful things every day, and I will always defend their right to do so. Americans have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their views – even views that we disagree with.
WOW! I am starting to tear up….
We do so not because we support hateful speech, but because our Founders understood that without such protections, the capacity of each individual to express their own views, and practice their own faith, may be threatened. We do so because in a diverse society, efforts to restrict speech can become a tool to silence critics, or oppress minorities. We do so because given the power of faith in our lives, and the passion that religious differences can inflame, the strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression, it is more speech – the voices of tolerance that rally against bigotry and blasphemy, and lift up the values of understanding and mutual respect.
You had me 100% until the blasphemy thing. I do not rally against blasphemy! I encourage it!
All people deserve respect, all ideas do not! We must critique bad ideas to make the world a better place for those around us and for those that follow us. – Phil Ferguson
Obama gets back on track with this….
There are no words that excuse the killing of innocents. There is no video that justifies an attack on an Embassy. There is no slander that provides an excuse for people to burn a restaurant in Lebanon, or destroy a school in Tunis, or cause death and destruction in Pakistan.
Please share your thoughts about "Innocence of Muslims", David Silverman's words, or The President's talk in the comments below.

Vol. 43, No. 3 (JULY 1955)
THE PILTDOWN FORGERY, by J. S. Weiner; xii + 214 pages; 9 illustrations; $3.50; Oxford University Press, 1955.
The end of Piltdown man is the end of the most troubled chapter in human paleontology." It is the end of a chapter of history which began on December 18, 1912, with the announcement of a remote ancestral form of man—the Dawn Man of Piltdown—in the gravels of the Sussex Ouse in South England. In honor of its discoverer Charles Dawson, Arthur Smith Woodward proposed its allocation to a new genus and species of man, "Eoanthropus dawsoni." The reconstruction showed it to possess a cranium in all essentials human and a jaw similar to a chimpanzee. The find was later supplemented by other finds, a canine showing predicted wear, found by a young priest, internationally known and recently deceased, Teilhard de Chardin; a fossil slab of elephant bone, a club-like implement found in 1914, and the animal remains appropriate to a geological era as far back as the Pliocene.
There were doubters from the beginning not only among the amateurs in Sussex but also among the professionals. But the personalities concerned, which included Woodward, Arthur Keith, Eliot Smith, and Sir Ray Lancaster, prevailed and emphasized their agreement by sitting for a portrait by a Royal Academician in 1915 with the reconstructed skull as the central object of interest.
The progress of paleontology, the problems of fossil man in Asia and in South Africa all served to make the Piltdown man an ever-increasing anomaly. This book records the battery of research which has been necessary since July 1953 to prove that Piltdown was the most complicated forgery, the greatest hoax of modern times. It required fluorine and nitrogen, carbon and water analyses, X-radiation and radioactivity analyses, determinations of sulfate, iron and chromium. From the sleuthing there emerged a fraudulent modern jaw, a thick fossilized cranium, with, beyond doubt, spurious animal bones and implements.
The book records the detailed unmasking of the forgery, a tribute to the delicate techniques now available and to the operators. The whole story is reviewed as to all its details and all the personalities involved in such a manner that the book reads like a scientific detective story. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had a walking part in the action. The evidence is all summed up in a manner worthy of a most judicial judge but the culprit is never actually named. Perhaps that is why the book is so fascinating to the reader who may picture himself as one of the jury called upon to pronounce the verdict.
The Board of Editors is happy to announce that an article on this subject by the "sleuths" will be presented in the Autumn Issue of American Scientist.
Kirtley F. Mather (1888–1978), the first editor of American Scientist's Scientists' Bookshelf, was a geologist and professor at Harvard University. He served as president of AAAS in the 1950s, during which time he also spoke out against the McCarthy-era inquisitions. This was not the first time Mather had advocated for freedom of expression: In the 1930s, he refused to take a "teachers' oath" proposed by the Massachusetts state legislature. In a 1996 biographical sketch of Mather for GSA Today, Kennard B. Bork notes, "Mather was happy to pledge allegiance to the federal government when he was inducted into the U.S. Army, but he rebelled against state fealty oaths for faculty members at private universities." Among Mather's books are The Earth Beneath Us (1964) and, with coauthor Dorothy Hewitt, Adult Education: A Dynamic for Democracy (1937). Bork's 1994 biography of Mather is titled Cracking Rocks and Defending Democracy.

Nibbly Things: Charlize Theron Is Single
- Charlize Theron has split from Stuart Townsend after more than five years. Whenever a celebrity does not show up with their significant other at an awards show, you have to take that as a clue. [The Sun]
- It looks like Britney Spears is pulling in the strings on Kevin Federline's wallet once again. "Each month, he will be allotted a certain amount of money for personal use – i.e., clothing, nightclubs, booze and day-to-day activities. Any big items – cars, or trips that go over allowance – need to be approved by Brit herself." She'd be even more astute if she'd just dump the guy. [Page Six]
- Sharon Osbourne isn't getting any. According to The Sun, Ozzy Ozbourne said: "I can't do it. I'm on anti-depressants. I take four Viagra and it doesn't work – it doesn't do anything!" The real question is: Would you want him to do anything? [Ananova]
- The politically inclined George Clooney is proud to be a liberal. He also gives a big "fuck you" to the Democrats who voted for the war in Iraq, who are now claiming to have been misled by President Bush. Clooney is getting a little hot under the collar. He just needs some loving from Teri Hatcher to calm him down. [Huffington Post]
- Jessica Simpson is not a fan of sharing. She fired her stylist Rachel Zoe, for spending too much time with her other client, Lindsay Lohan. Jessica Simpson had a stylist? [Page Six]
- Former rock star Axl Rose recieved the wrath of Velvet Revolver lead singer Scott Weiland, after Rose called Weiland a fraud. What did Weiland have to say? "Get in the ring. Go to the gym, motherfucker, or if you prefer, get a new wig, motherfucker. I think I'll resist the urge to 'stoop' to your level. Oh shit, here it comes, you fat, botox-faced, wig-wearin' fuck! O.K., I feel better now." That was a mouthful. [Blabbermouth.net]

More Commuters But Shorter Commutes? Changing Patterns Keep Many Commuters' Times In Check
Median Commute in California Shortens, But State Average Remains Higher Than Nations
SAN FRANCISCO, California, February 28, 2006 For Californians, old commuting patterns have given way to a veritable hodgepodge of travel routes and modes, according to a study released today by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC). The unexpected consequence of so many variations on the traditional suburb-to-city pattern is a stabilizing effect on commuting, helping to keep in check the time many Californians spend getting to work.
From 1990 to 2004, Californias median commute time dropped by 9 percent, to 20 minutes despite an increase in the size of the workforce. What we have is not just a case of a few long-established commute patterns intensifying, says study author, PPIC policy analyst Elisa Barbour. Routes, destinations, and commuter behavior have diversified, which can make it easier to absorb more commuting without major time effects.
Nevertheless, even though commute times for the typical worker have dropped, enough Californians have such exceptionally long commutes that the states average time increased by 10 percent, to 27 minutes, over the past decade and a half. Moreover, the proportion of workers who commute 45 minutes or longer increased from 15 to 18 percent. Californias average commute time is 10 percent higher than the nations as a whole. Despite the fact that a typical workers commute time went down, the increase in the state average underscores the huge variation in commuting, says Barbour.
But through all the variation weaves a common thread the suburbanization of jobs. Commutes going to suburbs comprised nearly half (48%) of all commutes in the state in 2000, up 3 percent as a share of all commutes from 1990. Moreover, 33 percent of commutes started and ended in suburban locations, a 2 percent increase from a decade ago, and 12 percent of commutes began in central cities and ended in suburbs, a nearly 2 percent increase. On the other hand, commutes beginning in suburbs and ending in central cities increased by only about a half a percent, and commutes within the same central city decreased by over 3 percent.
The decentralization of jobs and homes has a complicated effect on commuting, leading to both long, congested suburb-to-central city commutes and relatively short suburb-to-suburb commute times, says Barbour. As policymakers invest in transportation, its critical to consider changing commute patterns because investment choices will help shape public demand by influencing travel options and development patterns.
One example of investment affecting demand is in public transit commuting. Here, California bucked the national trend of steadily declining transit use, and instead saw a slight increase in transits share of the commute throughout the 1990s. Although marginal (less than 1%), its likely the state went in the opposite direction of the nation because of substantial recent investments in new transit systems. Still, the preference for driving remains clear: Statewide, 75 percent of Californians drive alone; 9 percent ride in two-person carpools; 4 percent ride a bus; 3 percent bike or walk; and 1 percent take a subway, train, or ferry. And as far as commute times go, public transit generally cannot compete: Solo drivers have the shortest average commute time (26 minutes), and public transit users have the longest (47 minutes).
Commute experiences vary substantially across regions. The report, Time to Work: Commuting Times and Modes of Transportation of California Workers, provides a detailed look at commuting behaviors and statistics in the states major regions and counties. Below are just some of those findings for the fifteen most populous counties:
The Public Policy Institute of California is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving public policy in California through independent, objective, nonpartisan research on major economic, social, and political issues. The institute was established in 1994 with an endowment from William R. Hewlett.

Hewitt draws the tall straw
Page Tools
London: The Wimbledon draw has cast just one shadow over Lleyton Hewitt's aspirations but its owner is the most imposing figure in the men's game. Hewitt's elevation to the seventh seeding meant he could not play Roger Federer until the fourth round but that is where the champions of the past two years have been seeded to meet.
While Mark Philippoussis will start against a qualifier, Hewitt will lead off on Monday against Jurgen Melzer, the Austrian he beat in the second round of the French Open last month as well as in the pair's only other meeting, also on clay, this year in Hamburg.
Hewitt would meet either Kristof Vliegen or Irakli Labadze next, with Goran Ivanisevic or Mikhail Youzhny a possibility for the third round.
But the presence of Federer, who has won 17 of his past 18 grasscourt matches, looms large over the top quarter of the men's draw. The Swiss top seed trails Hewitt 7-4 head-to-head but won their only grand slam meeting, at this year's Australian Open.
Philippoussis will carry his recent form slump into the bottom half of the draw on Tuesday, where his first seeded opponent could be Chilean Fernando Gonzalez in the third round.
Wayne Arthurs will play German Florian Mayer in the first round. Wildcard Todd Reid meets the 30th seed, American Vince Spadea.
While every other tournament takes its seeds from world rankings, the All England Club takes grasscourt form into account for Wimbledon, giving world No.10 Hewitt and No.19 Philippoussis their elevated seedings.
US Open champion and world No.2 Andy Roddick is the second seed, while Argentina's Guillermo Coria and David Nalbandian - whom Hewitt beat in the 2002 Wimbledon final - are third and fourth. Britain's Tim Henman has been seeded fifth, with Spanish claycourt specialist Juan Carlos Ferrero at six.
"I don't think it really matters," Hewitt said of the seedings last week. "You've got to win seven matches to win it and I'm prepared to play whoever I get given."
Hewitt will arrive at the championships in good form after reaching the quarter-finals of the French Open this month and the semi-finals at the Queen's Club tournament in London last week, where he lost to Roddick.
Australia has a rare women's seed, with world No.29 Alicia Molik, who lost in the first round at the Eastbourne tournament on Tuesday, seeded 27th.
Defending women's champion Serena Williams also profited from the All England Club's policy on grasscourt form and was named top seed, though she is ranked 10th in the world.
With the world No.1 and No.2, Justine Henin-Hardenne and Kim Clijsters, injured and absent, French Open champion Anastasia Myskina has been seeded second. Williams's sister, Venus, the 2000 and 2001 Wimbledon champion and ranked eight in the world, was named third seed. Paris: Back at Wimbledon after missing last year due to injury, Amelie Mauresmo hopes the British grass will heal the wound of her quarter-final elimination at home in the French Open.
At a loss to find the reasons for her psychological frailty on home clay, the Frenchwoman has turned her sights overseas in search of her first big win.
"Maybe the solution lies abroad. Maybe I just have to try and win a grand slam elsewhere to ever have a chance of one day winning here," Mauresmo said after her Parisian jinx struck again this month. Her coach, Loic Courteau, agreed. "In Paris, the emotional side is too important," he said. "Elsewhere, she could start anew."
On paper, the Frenchwoman's best surface is clay. But her grass credentials are real. She reached the 2002 Wimbledon semi-finals and won the 1996 Wimbledon junior tournament.
With the Belgians missing, Venus and Serena striving for form and doubts that the Russians can take another tournament by storm, Mauresmo has a chance. Her preparation for the French Open was far too serious, far too tense, Courteau told French daily Le Figaro. "There was no pleasure whatsoever," he said. "We must change the trend. And nothing can help better than the Wimbledon grass."
Mauresmo went into hiding for a few days after Roland Garros and started training for the grass season on hardcourt behind closed doors. She left Paris to go straight to Eastbourne, where as top seed she cruised through her opening match on Wednesday beating British wildcard Amanda Janes 6-4, 6-2.

Mariah Carey, 'Almost Home' – Song Review
Mariah Carey is, somewhat ironically, making a much more triumphant comeback with 'Almost Home' than she did with, well, 'Triumphant (Get 'Em).' The song is a return to form for the multi-octave diva.
'Almost Home' sounds like a Carey track from the days of yore — her 90's heyday — in the best way. With a Stargate-produced beat, the song sounds like it'd fit right in on Carey's pop classics 'Music Box' and 'Daydream.' The upbeat song relies on Carey's unrivaled gifts of melody, harmony and power instead of attempting to attain street cred with guest rappers, and it's where she shines brightest.
The track starts out with a more R&B vibe in the verses, then morphs into a poppier tune for the choruses. The song has a motivational message akin to Carey's unstoppable ballad 'Hero,' but combines it with an upbeat, uptempo track. While Carey does her typical showing off vocally here — let's be honest, if you could do half the things she can with your pipes, you would too — she doesn't go overboard with the histrionics a la Christina Aguilera.
The song is a perfect fit for Disney's 'Oz: The Great and Powerful' soundtrack and a perfect way for the 'American Idol' judge to reassert herself on her throne of pop royalty. It's a frothy, fun, radio friendly confection with only the mildest hint of bubblegum to prevent toothaches.
Listen to Mariah Carey, 'Almost Home'

Make the most of trips to the coast and get some exercise between relaxing, writes Susan Edmunds.
If you plan on a few more weekends at the beach this summer, your fitness doesn't have to suffer. Here are some activities that will burn calories, without it feeling like hard work.
Swimming is a low-impact, full-body workout that works every muscle group. Regular swimming helps build strength and improves your overall fitness and endurance. The sea gives you more buoyancy and, if you are battling the waves, you will burn more calories than in a pool. Use the opportunity to build up the distance you swim when you don't have to worry about turning around at the end of each lap.
An hour of surfing burns about 115 calories in a woman of average build, and about 125 in an average man. As with anything, the heavier you are, the more calories you will burn. Surfing is a good full-body workout, but is especially good for your upper body. It improves balance and co-ordination, and is great stress relief.
If you are used to pounding the pavements, take your workout to a new level by walking on the soft sand at the beach. The movement of the sand will require your muscles to work overtime. Walking in sand requires two or three times more energy than walking on hard surfaces.
If boarding down the dunes is the fun part, walking or running up is the bit that makes sandboarding a full-on workout. It combines the effects of walking on sand with the bum-toning benefits of hills.
Handboarding is basically bodysurfing with the aid of a mitt and it gives you the same kind of workout you would get swimming, with a bit of extra upper-body work. The mitt allows you to get around the waves more easily, and ride further than you would with your body alone.
Volleyball/touch rugby
Transporting these sports on to soft sand gives you an extra workout. It's easier on your joints - and there's less chance of injury - but you will have to work harder to run and jump. The quick changes in direction and pace are good for agility as well as building up the smaller muscles in your legs. A person of average build would burn about 120 calories every 15 minutes playing beach volleyball. Touch rugby is good for improving fitness, musculoskeletal strength and co-ordination, as well as running speed.

These conclusions form part of the parliamentary intelligence and security committee's annual report for 2004-05.
Committee chairman Ann Taylor said "the security service does not have sufficient project managers or expertise to manage IT projects".
She also said "the security service's project to renew its IT infrastructure will now cost at least 50% more than originally envisaged and deliver less capability, although the security service plans to have it operational earlier than originally projected".
Taylor said the Scope web-based communications programme was also suffering continuing difficulties.
Managed by the Cabinet Office, Scope, according to Taylor, "has yet to deliver any useable benefits to the UK intelligence community and will be over three year's late".
She added, however, that the Scope delay has allowed a more robust programme, with better risk management to be included.
In response to the reported skills crisis, the government said "some measures have already been taken to introduce more specialised project management expertise into the service, and further steps are being taken to address the skills shortage".
On the delay in the Scope programme, the government said "the government recognises that this is an important and complex programme that needs careful management. In the government's view, it is important to devote the necessary time to getting it right".

Did Pamela Anderson Reduce Her Breast Size? What Do YOU Think, BFFs?
The buxom star is looking a little lighter in the chest lately. Has she reduced her breast size?
So, I was flipping through photos from this weekend and came across some adorable photos of Pamela Anderson, looking tanned, pretty and…wait a minute…are her breasts smaller? I placed the image next to the one above on the right and, well, I personally maybe she's had her breast size reduced to a very attractive cup size! Has the Dancing with the Stars alum decided to downsize? I went to the experts to ask their opinion.
Evidently, I'm on to something. Dr. Jennifer Walden, New York Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon who has not treated Anderson, agrees with my assessment, saying, "Pamela Anderson's breasts are looking more and more appropriate for her frame, leading one to believe she has downsized her implants. She looks more attractive for it in my opinion."
Dr. David P. Rapaport, Manhattan Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon who deals a lot with breast implants, went into even more depth on this plastic surgery mystery: "These photos are interesting because historically in older photos of Pamela Anderson, you would see linear ripples across the top part of her chest, which is indiciative of a thin person who has implants over the muscle. Even silicone will ripple at that point because there's nothing holding it there but skin, so it appears that she at least had a surgery to place her implants under the muscle to smooth that affect out; you don't see the ripples anymore. In regards to the question of breast implant reduction, it's not crystal clear but it certainly appears as if her breast size is smaller. It could be deceptive because of the angle of the camera but it could mean a reduction and, in my opinion, an aesthetically welcome change."
Check out the photos side by side above. What do you think, BFFs? Has Pam decided to downgrade? Vote now!

LOCALE Magazine Features Vanguard University Senior Communications Major Kristen Achziger
In its Holiday 2013 edition, Orange County's LOCALE Magazine's article, Shooting Star, commends Vanguard University for offering a wide selection of arts programs and features senior communications major Kristen Achziger.
In the feature, writer Korrie (Hansen '05) Lukei says that young artists are eagerly filling up art programs ready to "put their own stamp and flare on the world." Regarding the need for art programs, she says, "Costa Mesa's own Vanguard University is doing its part by offering majors in film production, screenwriting, music education, performance, composition and ministry and theatre arts. Vanguard also offers art classes that teach drawing, acrylic painting, and watercolor."
Focusing on the cinema arts, Achziger uses video and photography to put her stamp on the world. Taking the photojournalism course with Professor Chauncey Bayes especially impacted her, the article says. For the class, students were required to use photographs to tell a person's story. Through 14 photos, Achziger captured the story of a ministry group that builds relationships with homeless individuals staying in Orange County motels.
Working for the Vanguard Office of Marketing and Communications, Achziger creates and edits videos regularly. With her bachelor's degree almost completed, Achziger has at least 30 videos completed. These include personal projects, videos for the marketing and communications department and for the Student Government Association (SGA), as well as class assignments.
