Mr. COBURN. Madam President, I want to spend a few minutes talking about the bill we are going to vote on this afternoon. I am starting my 10th year in the Senate. During that period of time, my No. 1 goal in coming to the Senate was to try to right our financial ship and almost everything I have done in the Senate has been related to the fiscal consequences of our dereliction of duty as Members of Congress--of both parties. There is nothing partisan about that statement. We have seen different Presidents and different parties control both bodies, always to the same result.
We have before us a bill today that is a purported compromise. I want to describe who it is a compromise for. It is a compromise for the politicians. It is not a compromise for the American people because what it does is increase spending and increase taxes. The net effect, even if you take all the budget gimmicks that are in this bill that are not actual savings, and even if you believe people 10 and 11 years from now will actually hold true to what this bill pretends to have us do, which is what we are not doing--something we did 2 years ago through this bill, we are still going to spend more money than we would have and we are going to charge people revenues, some $24 billion--$28 billion, pardon me--increased revenues which we are not calling tax increases but Americans are going to pay that so it is money that is going to come out of their pocket.
What we have before us is a bill that is a political compromise for the parties in Washington to keep us from doing what we really need to do--the hard things. I am going to go through some criticisms of this bill. It is not meant to reflect on any one individual. It will apply just as much to the Republicans as it does to the Democrats. But we have a bill that supposedly fixes things until past the next election so we do not have to face these gigantic problems of ``deadlock.''
The other thing I would note as I go through this is it is my contention we do not have a problem getting along. It is my contention we get along way too well. We get along way too well; otherwise, we would not have a $17.7 trillion debt. We would not have $124 trillion in unfunded liabilities. And we would not have debt per American in this country which is now $57,000 per person and unfunded liabilities that are over $1 million per household, not including that debt repayment.
How did we do that? We had to agree to do that. Both parties had to agree to do that. The President had to sign it. My contention is we get along way too well, when it comes to ruining the financial future of our country. My main criticism--I do not criticize compromise, I criticize compromise that ignores the facts of our financial situation.
I want to make a point. I put a book out yesterday. It is called the ``Yearly Wastebook.'' I do it every year. I do it somewhat in jest but to make a very real point. I outlined over $31 billion, what I think and I think most Democrats would agree and that the American public, 95 percent of them, would agree with this--that when running a $700 billion deficit, maybe we should not be spending these moneys on these things which go far further in actually solving our problems for compromise in terms of creating a solution to the long-term problems and giving the American people what they want.
We really do have a 6-percent approval rating, right? That is true. I think we have earned it. This bill, I believe, proves it because we did exactly the opposite of what the American people would like to see us do. We solved our problem as politicians but we made their problem worse. We did not fix the things that are obvious to fix.
I was on the Simpson-Bowles Commission, I was a member of the Gang of 6, I have worked in a bipartisan fashion with anybody who will work with me to try to solve the big problems in front of our country, except we as a body, and the House, really don't want to solve them because the thing put at risk when you really solve them is political careers, and as a group of politicians, the people in Washington care much more about their careers--by their actions it is proven--than they do about the long-term fiscal health of this country. That applies to both parties.
So when we have a deal brought before us that will avoid confrontation come January 15 and we have all sorts of budget gimmicks in it that are not truthful, they are not real, in the hopes that somebody will grow a backbone 9 and 10 years from now and actually keep their word to the American public--and we are demonstrating right now we can't even keep our word from 2 years ago--why would we be proud to vote for that? Does it solve a real problem? No. It puts a real problem off and actually makes the problem worse to the tune of $68 billion. Through this bill we will borrow an additional $68 billion, $50 billion of it, close to, in the next year and $20 billion some after that, and in the year after, and then hope and pray that Congresses that follow us will do what we suggested.
Everyone in this body knows that is not going to happen. So when you vote on this bill you are voting for your political career, you are voting for the Washington establishment, but you are not voting for the person out there who now has a $57,000 debt they are servicing, and their family, $1 million per household in this country in unfunded liabilities.
It will pass. I have no doubt it will pass. I feel like John the Baptist in the wilderness. But mark my words. If we continue to do what we are doing today, we will be remembered as the people who could have fixed the problem and didn't; who could have made the courageous decisions and chose not to; who could have stiffened their spines and said we don't care what Republican extremists or liberal extremists say, the future of our country is more important than any political career in this town. And what we have before us is just the opposite.
Why wasn't in part of this agreement some of the $250 billion that GAO has identified as waste, fraud, duplication, and mismanagement? There is not one thing in this bill that addresses one thing that GAO has recommended to Congress over the last 3 years--not one. So we have the ``Wastebook''--$31 billion of what I would consider--and it is not partisan. There could be a difference in terms of agreement about what is important and what is not. But, again, I would say in terms of the ``Wastebook,'' it is: Should we be spending money now when we are borrowing money, in light of the fiscal situation that we have, on some of the things that we outlined? It is a listing of 100. It has $31 billion worth of savings. I will outline a few of them for you.
We are going to be taking up NDAA next. None of the amendments that I offered are in the NDAA. Every one of them was structural to the Pentagon to make it more responsible and accountable to its constitutional duty, which it has not performed, of giving account to Congress on how it spent its money. For example, the Army commissioned a contract to have a warfare overseeing blimp. They spent $297 million on that blimp. It flew for a short period of time in this country. We sold it back to the contractor for $300,000.
I have two questions: No. 1. Whoever signed that contract and made that decision, did they get fired from the Federal Government? Did they get demoted in rank? And, No. 2, was the contract actually executed to the requirements that the military set out for it?
It is called accountability. The answer to both of those is no. There is no accountability. So we are going to have an NDAA bill come through that requires them to meet an audit. They have been required since 1992 to meet an audit. They did not do it in 2014 and they will not do it in 2017 and they won't do it in 2018, because there is no hammer on the Pentagon to make them do it. That is because all hammers have been taken out because we don't want to force them to meet their constitutional responsibility. It is too hard.
We never told them it was too hard to go to Iraq or Afghanistan. But it is too hard for them to follow their constitutional duty to report on how they spend their money. What I would put before us is, if you cannot measure what you are doing, you cannot manage what you are doing. What is obvious from the waste, fraud, and abuse, contract failures within the Pentagon, is they have no clue on what they are doing. All you have to do is take the Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier, the littoral combat ships, the F-35--all of those major defense programs are at risk, over budget, behind schedule. I am not talking a little bit over budget. We did not do the oversight; we have not forced that. You will never get control of those programs until you make them be able to account for what they are doing.
My first training, my first degree, is in accounting. I understand the reason accounting is important is because it tells you where to go to manage your problems. The Pentagon cannot do that. The Pentagon ordered--at the insistence of us, by the way--some airplanes for Afghanistan. Guess what we have done. We have taken delivery here and we have sent them straight to the Arizona desert, just $422 million worth of them. By the way, the ones that did go to Afghanistan, we are going to cut up, destroy. We are not going to send them to Africa for relief missions. We are not going to send them somewhere else. We are going to cut them into pieces, another $200 million worth of airplanes. And by the way, since the Afghan Air Force wants the same thing America has, we have already given them two C130-Hs, and we are going to give them two more. That is another $400 million. So what we have done through poor management is waste over $700 million on one item.
There is nothing in this bill that corrects that. Yet this bill is going to come to the floor--the NDAA--and not one of us who actually knows what really needs to be done in terms of changing the financial picture in the Pentagon is going to have an opportunity to influence that bill--not one of us. It doesn't have to be that way. That bill came out of committee in May of last year, but we have chosen to operate that way.
Camp Leatherneck, which is in Afghanistan, is a $34 million new camp for troops, and it sits abandoned today. It has never been occupied. Who was the general or colonel who authorized that in anticipation of our drawdown? Who executed the order to build it and then ordered that we abandon it? Is there any accountability in the Pentagon or in any other agency? Are we doing our job of holding them accountable?
The ``Wastebook'' is not all about the Defense Department, but I brought a couple of those up just so we could see what is going on. The ``Wastebook'' is about poor judgment across all the agencies. You may disagree with me about some of what is in the ``Wastebook,'' but the question you have to ask yourself is: At a time when we have done what we have done to the American people in terms of unfunded liabilities, in terms of individual debt--the average family now has over $220,000 worth of debt that they have to pay back which we borrowed--should we spend money the way we spend it?
We spent $978,000 to study romance novels. Certainly that is a priority right now in our government. Everybody would agree with that; right? Sure they would. They would agree with it. Yet we put that contract out last year and spent money to study the background of romance novels, both on the Web and off, and why people write them. We didn't just study about them here, we studied about them everywhere.
How about $400,000 to Yale University, by the National Science Foundation, to actually study whether people who align with the tea party have the cognitive capability in terms of science? Guess what. We spent that money and the professor got the biggest surprise of his life. Here is what the study said: People who are aligned with the tea party have far exceptional cognitive abilities when it comes to science, math, and financial aptitude. It totally surprised the professor because the whole purpose was supposed to undermine people who are constitutional conservatives. Yet we spent $400,000 on that study.
Those are just a few of the small examples of the silliness which goes on. People say: Well, $400,000 isn't much; $900,000 isn't much. The State Department spent $500 million during the last week of the fiscal year. What did they spend it on? Does anybody know? To buy brand-new crystal stemware for all the embassies throughout the world. We didn't need new stemware, but we had to spend the money, so we spent it.
Just think about that. We are responsible for that. We allowed that to happen. There is no oversight here. There is no aggressiveness in terms of controlling costs, and our default position is our agreement on this budget which doesn't address any of those problems.
The American people are going to be asking questions about why we get along so well. The political story is not that Washington spends out of conflict and partisan bickering because the facts don't lie. We get along way too well. We are going to get along so well that we are going to pass another bill that solves the problem for us, as politicians, but, in fact, actually hurts the American people.
I am not going to be a part of that, and I am going to keep yelling from the canyons and from the mountain tops until we start doing what we are supposed to do because this is not going to change.
It is my hope that some of us will wake up and start looking at some of the real facts. So $30 billion can make a big difference. If we just eliminate the items in this ``Wastebook'' for next year, we would be able to take care of one-third of the sequester. There are just 100 items here. I can give you 300 items.
I can give you $150 billion worth of stupidity every year, but we choose not to do anything about it. We choose not to do anything about it because you have to be a committee chairman in order to have an oversight committee dig into this stuff. You actually have to do the hard work to find out where the administration is spending the money.
President Obama doesn't want money to be wasted this way. He needs our help. Yet we will not help him. We will not help the American people. Consequently, the future of our country is at risk when it should be gloriously great. It is at risk not because of the American people; it is at risk because of us. We ought to change that.
I yield the floor and note the absence of a quorum.

Beautiful colors, striking design. Looks fancy but easy to wear with casual clothes too
I wanted to create beautiful jewelry I could afford.
Although I started making earrings many years ago, last year I started taking workshops in wire wrapping at my local bead store - Tatnuck Bead. I started creating jewelry for myself and friends. They encouraged me to start selling jewelry, since I was making more jewelry pieces than I could possibly wear.
Believe it or not my studio is a chair and table in the corner of my living room. I actually create the pieces right in my lap on a bead tray. It is important that I be comfortable when I create so I sit in a recliner.
Like creating a mosaic, my jewelry creation process is very piecemeal. It may start with gathering bags of beads that work well together because of their shape, pattern or color. Recently I found some gorgeous blue and orange lamp work beads and imagined them with blue sea glass and bright orange beads. I was thrilled when I was able to match the colors. Somehow through the process of gathering and sorting I can see patterns and create harmony.
My favorite beads to work with are Agate, Amethyst, Carnelian, Jade, Jasper, Labradorite, Lamp-work , Pearls, Raku, Sea Glass and Turquoise Howlite,

Video Wills, Kate & Harry Want A National Conversation On Mental Health
Men are less likely to talk than women with 54% of women having had a conversation compared to 37% of men.
Terror experts in London claim at least 24 British jihadists have died fighting in Syria.
The research has been carried out by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King's College, which monitors social media accounts of alleged extremists.
Shiraz Maher from the centre told the Daily Telegraph that figure is likely to be even higher.
He warned that news of deaths would not put would-be Islamic State fighters off travelling there from the UK though as they "regard it as martyrdom and a victory".
The Foreign Office said it is difficult to confirm deaths as there are currently no consular services in Syria due to the conflict.
A spokeswoman said: "We are aware of reports of the deaths of British Nationals in Syria. The UK has advised for some time against all travel to Syria, where all UK consular services are suspended.
"As we do not have any representation in Syria, it is extremely difficult to get any confirmation of deaths or injuries and our options for supporting British Nationals there are extremely limited."
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has said religious leaders "must up their game and engage jihadism in religious, philosophical and ethical space".
In an article for Prospect magazine he said: "Whatever is done to face these groups must be global, holistic, and determined over the long term with a clear intention of building a just peace.
"Above all there needs to be a new and compelling alternative narrative to that of the self-styled jihadists."

New Delhi: Centre is planning to bring back compulsory exams in class X board? Yes, if the speculation is going by.Zeenewsindia According to reports, the central government is considering to scrap the policy of not arrest – was introduced under the Law on Right to Education – in stages.
It is also considering making the board exams mandatory Class X again to schools affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
The two issues will be discussed Wednesday at a meeting of the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE). Among these officials are human Resources Development (HRD) Ministry, state ministers, education experts and academics. CABE is the political advisory body of higher education of the Ministry of HRD.
It will be the first time the CABE will be holding a meeting after the new government came to power.
As part of the policy of non-stop, students are allowed to move to the next class without being arrested, even if they can not guarantee a passing grade. Politics is applicable to students studying in standard VIII upto classes.
The issues will be discussed in the wake of complaints from parents and teachers that the policy of non-arrest and optional Class X board exams have led to the depletion of the quality of school education.

My dad passed away on 23rd of December 2011. I didn't believe he was gone, still can't. he was a loving father, but i wasn't very nice to him, he liked to drink and when ever he does i lose temper and tell the worst words to him... i regret so much for it... and i wish i told him thank you at least once when he was alive. i remember him always tell me that he loves me, and kisses me, but i always blamed him for the divorce and financial issues we had... now i wish that i can give my everything to turn back that time and tell him how i am proud and grateful to have such a loving father. i wish he had enjoyed to seeing the amazing things this world has before he goes. I couldn't forget the last time i saw my dad, he looked pale and i kissed his cold cheek and begged him to get up, not to leave me as many times i could... my heart was breaking to see and hear my brothers cry... it was the worst day of my life, i have never knew how unfair and hard this world is until that day. Still day and night last image of my dad haunts me, i think it over and over again, wondering if I called him that day or took him to the hospital when he said his leg feels numb he would've been alive. I hate my self not making time for my family, busy taking care of others(i work for humanitarian organization).
I often wonder how my dad would look if he reached 70years old(he was only 53y), or how he would respond to take me to the altar on my wedding day... or to see his grand kids... i will never know and share those moments with him. I still ask God why He had to take my dad, before even I wasn't sure if he believed in Jesus or not... when i prayed so many years for his salvation, How i wish it was only a dream, just a nightmare to wake up to find my dad alive... before you asked me to come many times but now i want to go to your house when you are not there. I love you my dad and missing you too much but above all this Thank you for enduring those many difficult years that you faced in order to feed and raise your kids daddy!

I just got this and really wanted a small size laptop for work as I am tired of schlepping a huge laptop every night/morning to/from work. No complaints about fans.. dead quiet so far. Updates took a few hours and every single one asked me which country i lived in.. annoying but i am glad to say everything works and even the WIFI issues everyone talks about seem resolved. Happy all around.

A group of friends in a Tel Aviv suburb get together to watch Universong, a Eurovision-like television song contest. They gather to watch and are depressed by the lifelessness of the Israeli entry, a parody of many recent offerings, a flashy, grating song about "amour." Realizing that Anat is distraught over the crisis in her marriage, they decide to compose a song to cheer her up. As a lark, they enters their cellphone video of it in next year's contest, and it becomes Israel's entry.

Panama City (AFP) March 9, 2013
Police clashed with farmers and indigenous people in western Panama for a second day Saturday over a planned dam that locals fear will wipe out their way of life.
Demonstrators in the town of Vigui threw up barricades with three trunks and branches, some on the Pan-American Highway, the main road to neighboring Costa Rica.
They say the planned Barro Blanco hydroelectric dam, near the borders of Veraguas and Chiriqui provinces, will displace at least 36,000 people. Many local indigenous people's traditional way of life is based on fishing from the river and transport on the waterway.
Police in riot gear seeking to reopen the highway cracked down on dozens of demonstrators who fought back with rocks and other blunt objects.
"People were protesting peacefully for the closing of the (planned) Barro Blanco (hydroelectric power plant) and police attacked them," local Ngobe Bugle indigenous leader Silvia Carrera said.
Carrera said she expected there would be injuries but could not confirm whether protesters were treated in hospital.
The Panamanian government wants to use the Central American nation's vast and largely untapped water resources to make energy more affordable, selling land as needed to build hydroelectric power plants.
The government argues that oil-fueled plants have made energy costs too high in the country of 3.4 million.
Last year, indigenous people and the government held UN-mediated talks after violent clashes over traditional indigenous lands being used by mining industries and for hydroelectric plants left at least two people dead.

One mother has advice on what to say and what not to say to the parents of children with Down Syndrome; advice based on her own experiences. Her post about what people say to her regarding her 4-month-old infant daughter Louise has gone viral, garnering over 13 thousand likes and over 27 thousand shares in under less than two days.
The mother, Caroline Boudet, and her daughter Louise live in Paris. She decided to write the post after returning from a disappointing doctor's appointment with her daughter where she'd heard many of the same sentiments she'd heard before about her child, but this time marked a breaking point.

"In that one hour, I heard the kind of sentences about Louise that I've gotten used to hearing, but this time, it was too much," Boudet told Yahoo Parenting.
One of the things she hears the most is people questioning why she didn't find out about the baby's condition during pregnancy and choose to abort, often times right in front of her daughter.
Even well-meaning people that say things like "It's your baby no matter what," are doing more harm than good. "No. it's my baby, period," Boudet responded "Plus no matter what….I'd rather call her Louise."
The types of things she and her daughter hear as they go about their lives are things that it's easy to imagine people thoughtlessly saying.
(English translation below!)[LES MOTS SONT IMPORTANTS] Elle, c'est ma fille. Louise. Qui a quatre mois, deux bras deux...Posted by Caroline Boudet on Monday, June 8, 2015
Boudet knows that while some people don't mean to be hurtful, that statements like these are hurtful and hoped that the message would go viral. The post might encourage people to think before speaking to parents of children that have Down Syndrome.
"I came home with tears in my eyes, and I wondered what I could do it make it change and not hear it again," says Boudet. "Each year there are (in France) 500 new 'mothers of Louise' that can have a day ruined by those kind of words."
Considering how many people the message has reached, she may indeed have helped to make a change.

Its taken Nickey almost her whole life to find a decent boyfriend, and she has not even come close yet!she tries yet another dating site and sorts through all the pervs and creeps, she finds a possible match! A cute yet nerdy boy with similar interests. He might be worth her time, so she decides to make it a date! After a few drinks, Nickey can tell she is really feeling this boy. He was even kind enough to walk her home. Thats the perfect equation to get some pussy in Nickeys eyes. She invited him into her house and whisked him away to the backyard, then climbed on top of him and took charge. Nickey knew exactly what she wanted, some hot dick and some cool cream to finish her off. Nickey rode this guy to the point of no return, and he was so ashamed when he popped his load all up in that perfectly pink pussy. Nickey didnt mind though, so she decided it would be ok if they kept that creamy secret between the two of them.

text: I'm getting more calls from HOA's and commercial properties this year. I hate to say no to business, but i'm willing to take a look and submit a bid. I haven't been very successfull and think that either my estimated cost of doing business is too high or my estimated time on the job. I'm trying to project my cost of running with additional help and equipment. Hopeing you guys might help. So on commercial properties I'm figuring 2 hustler super z's, 2 trimmers, 2 blowers, truck, trailer, and misc hand tools. My estimated cost on that is coming in at $28 per hour. On labor I'm figureing myself at $30 and 2 helpers at $13 each. So labor is at $56 per hour. My total breakeven rate is $84. I then add in a small percentage for additional overhead and then a profit percentage. How in line am I? I think my estimated hours on some of the equipment may be off. If I run 2 mowers I will get more hours and the cost should drop a little. Just wondering if I'm in line or not.

Oh no! Boomerang has retired! It is his 4 years since he is in this wiki. So now, AquaAngryBirdsFan is the admin, and together with the new image unit user, and more positions up for grabs for vote. So, the eligiable members will be the unit. I might want it too, but takes effort...and have a very, very clean record. No blocks! No records of misbehaving!
I am still progressing the MAHOOSIVE 3 stars on the Hive. Guess what? I am still stuck and I am not giving up, and there is always tomorrow. I had collected 110 feathers and still aiming to get it.
Now, There is a new update, Hog Wash, new levels,total of 545. Left 4 days with Matilda is not an option. I am slobing and my tears shredding. Matilda....She is leaving soon to Piggy Island. She had her passport ready, and get ready to catch up on the golden feathers! (At least I had the Matilda plush toy to accompany me)
AB POPpers, get your Matilda to POP! before she slingshots her way back to Piggy Island!
Update 1 - Yay, Facebook version was updated to v1.3.0, Time Limited Birds was added! You may complete on your non mobile device! (Any device that supports flash browsing, it will be awesome especially some touch devices like the Surface Pro will provide the almost same experience as the mobile with only less levels and more real slingshot pull back, in mobile it is stretched all the way back but in facebook version it was stretched based on your touch finger or mouse.) Interestingly, the way of scoring in Facebook version seems to be odd because of the bubbles bouncing from the bees being too close. You may not get any free boost in Facebook version.
Update 2 - I had an AMAZING score, but still, why? I lost? If I win, I got 2 stars, really?
Update 3 - The wikia has gone into hands of some people. Wikia admins, time to step up as some people including The Boomerang left and got into serious issue.
Stay POPPin'!

Report: Alex Rodriguez Wants to Return, Retire, So He Can Take $114 Million Left on Contract and Avoid Suspension
Originally posted on NESN.com | Last updated 6/27/13
Oh, this is so A-Rod. The New York Daily News reports that the reason Alex Rodriguez is rushing to get back on the field is because the embattled superstar wants to prove he can't play so he can retire and collect the $114 million remaining on his contract with the Yankees. The New York Post also reports that Rodriguez is looking to use his injured hip as a reason to retire. With Rodriguez's chances of success in baseball dwindling — all the way from the current Yankees season to a possible performance-enhancing drugs-related suspension to Rodriguez's increasing unlikeliness of making it into the Hall of Fame — the Daily News says Rodriguez's plan is to get back into games as quickly as possible, then retire due to the hip injury. Rodriguez would get what remains of his five-year, $114 million contract. "It's all about him getting his money and not losing it to suspension," the Daily News reported a source as saying. "He knows he's never going to the Hall of Fame. All that's left for him is to make sure he gets his money — all of it." Even if Rodriguez was later suspended, he would still get full pay if he retired due to injury. The Daily News said Major League Baseball "will try to suspend Rodriguez, no matter his status" for his connection with the Biogenesis clinic in Miami. The interesting twist on this is that it corroborates an earlier report that the Yankees are also hoping Rodriguez can't play, which could enable them to collect insurance money. If Rodriguez has to quit due to injury, the Yankees can get 80 percent of what they pay for his remaining salary back from the insurance deal. Rodriguez, however, has appeared to rebuff those attempts by the Yankees by making it seem like he wants to play again. It looks like both sides want the same thing — but Rodriguez may be trying, just one more time, to save face through it all.

Here's a most surprising statistic: Western wildfire activity – thus far this summer – is the lowest in at least 10 years.
The number of acres burned is just 38 percent of average.
"Comparing acres burned through Aug. 4 for each of the past 10 years, 2014 is well below the norm, with just 1.7 million acres burned to date," writes the Daily Climate. "The average for the other nine years is 4.4 million, according to the National Interagency Fire Center."
This is not at all what wildfire experts predicted. And it's incredibly counter-intuitive.
The West is unmistakably hot and dry. California is having its hottest year on record and temperatures in most western states are running above to much above normal.
And, of course, the western drought is devastating and keeps getting worse.
The pre-season wildfire forecast, issued in April by the National Interagency Fire Center, called for above normal wildfire activity in much of California and the Southwest. The forecast assumed the heat and expanding drought would dry out the land surface, creating tinderbox conditions.
In reality, wildfire activity has been close to normal in these areas.
In California, for example, 34,576 acres had burned through July 26, not far off the 5-year average of 40,236 acres and well below 2013's 67,980 acres at the same time.
The northern Rockies have had a particularly quiet wildfire season (this was predicted as a result of substantial winter snowpack).
So why hasn't there been more action?
In parts of the West, fires have lacked a trigger according to Steve Running, a wildfire expert at the University of Montana.
"Wildfires need dry fuels AND an ignition source," Running said in an email. "Our western wildfires are mostly lightning ignited, so if there are no lightning storms we can go a long time with high fire vulnerability, but few actual fires."
Could it be the drought – though desiccating – is limiting the opportunities for thunderstorms that would set off the fires? "That's a stretch," Running said. "It is more likely just pure probability that a lot of lightning storms have not occurred over dry forests."
While wildfire activity has been relatively scarce so far, the season continues through the fall and the amount of combustible material is extremely high in California and the Southwest. Wildfire activity could still explode.
"The fire season is far from over," Max Moritz, a wildfire expert at the University of California at Berkeley, said in an email. "For example, southern Cali. shrublands — where so much of the population has settled — typically has its worst fire activity later in the Sept-Oct fall months. Furthermore, moisture content of both dead and live vegetation is so low in many western regions… whether the season gets bad kind of hinges on whether we have any extreme wind events that happen to coincide with an ignition. The potential for that to happen between now and the (hoped for) rainy season is still quite high."
The relatively slow fire season runs counter to recent trends. Western wildfire activity has increased substantially over the past decade compared to the 1970s and 1980s. From a 2012 Climate Central report on western wildfires:
Our analysis of 42 years of U.S. Forest Service records for 11 Western states shows that:
The number of large and very large fires on Forest Service land is increasing dramatically. Compared to the average year in the 1970's, in the past decade there were:
* 7 times more fires greater than 10,000 acres each year
* Nearly 5 times more fires larger than 25,000 acres each year
* Twice as many fires over 1,000 acres each year, with an average of more than 100 per year from 2002 through 2011, compared with less than 50 during the 1970's.
A number of factors, including rising temperatures, declining snowpack and forest management practices, have led to the uptick, explained Climate Central's Andrew Freedman (now at Mashable):
Many factors are involved in creating conditions that are primed for large wildfires. In addition to warming temperatures and changing snowpack trends, decades of fire suppression strategies have left large tracts of forest with excess fuel to burn. Increased human development near traditionally fire-prone ecosystems has contributed to an uptick in damaging fires, and natural climate and weather variability plays a large role as well.
The 2014 National Climate Assessment expects wildfires to increase in the coming decades given projected warming: "In some regions, prolonged periods of high temperatures associated with droughts contribute to conditions that lead to larger wildfires and longer fire season."

|Nissan VRT35
|Combustion chamber
|DOHC 4 valves per cylinder
The VRT35 is 3.5L V12 piston engine from Nissan. It was developed for competition racing during the early 1990s by Nissan's motorsport division Nismo.
Originally developed to be used in the Nissan P35 race car for Group C racing, the VRT35 would later see use in the 1992 All Japan Sports Prototype Championship. Required to be 3.5 litres by Group C rules, the engine had to not only be high-revving like a Formula One engine, but also have endurance capabilities. Nismo produced an engine at 3499 cc named the VRT35, with claims of 630 horsepower (470 kW) and capable of reaching nearly 12000 rpm. The VRT35 would be a V12, in comparison to Peugeot, Toyota, and Mazda's V10 units. Johnny O'Connell, a test driver for the Nissan P35 race car once said "Well it was about the most amazing sounding engine I have driven. It totally screamed.". [1]
Specifications of VRT35[edit]
- Aspiration: Naturally Aspirated
- Valvetrain: DOHC, 4 Valves per Cylinder
- Displacement: 3499 cc
- Bore x Stroke: 83.0 x 54.0mm
- Power: 630 hp @ 11600 rpm
- Torque: 289 lb.-ft. @ 9200 rpm

The omnipresence of God is the asserted characteristic of God by which the entity is believed to be universally present throughout everything that exists. In his 2010 Pandeist Theorem, Duke University physicist Robert G. Brown successfully demonstrated that in order for this to be the case, God would in fact have to either contain or be identical to the entire physical Universe. This characteristic is suggested, though never directly stated, in various theistic texts. The Judeo-Christian Bible includes several such passages:
- "Where can I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend into heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there; if I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you." (Psalm 139:7-12)
"This is not to say that God's form is spread out so that parts of Him exist in every location. God is spirit; He has no physical form. He is present everywhere in that everything is immediately in His presence. At the same time He is present everywhere in the universe. No one can hide from Him and nothing escapes His notice." [1]
But, none of these passages exclude the possibility that the God which they refer to is limited in scope to operating on and around the planet Earth, and is subservient to some Universal entity of greater magnificence.
Relevant passages
- "Though they dig into hell, from there my hand shall take them; though they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down; and though they hide themselves on top of Carmel, from there I will search and take them; though they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea, from there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them." (Amos 9:2,3)
- "'Am I a God near at hand,' says the Lord, 'and not a God afar off? Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?' . . . 'do I not fill heaven and earth?' says the Lord?" (Jeremiah 23:23,24)

Programmable matter was the holy grail of modular robots. With this technology, a robot could change shape at will. That meant that they could be hiding somewhere.
(Note: The background section of this page uses most of the words from the modular robots page of Terra Futura to save time.)
The concept of modular robots dates back to the 1970s. There was a concept called quick change in which special modules could be swapped out for a another at the end of a robotic arm. In the 1980s, this concept was extended to the entire robot. The research really began in the 1990s. Scientists searched for ways to connect the modules. Eventually, they would succeed. By the mid-21st century, modular robots were everywhere. However, few people noticed. Modular robots could be disguised as snakes, insects, spiders, etc. Modular robots could change shape in order to go around obstacles. These were crucial in saving the deteriorating infrastructure of the United States. In 2007, the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge collapsed. This highlighted the need to repair the infrastructure of the United States. When modular robots came out, they were quickly put to use to make repairs. This was especially true after World War III when many buildings were damaged in battle. By then, however, modular robots were being miniaturized. Programmable matter was born.
Tech Level: 11-12
By 2050, programmable matter was commonplace. This became possible with catoms. In the early 21st century, catoms were cylinders that worked in two dimensions and connected with the electrostatic force. By the mid-21st century, catoms were spheres that worked in three dimensions and connected by nano-velcro with atomic forces. This revolutionized human life. Furniture could transform into something else. A bed could become a sofa. Chairs could be personalized. Parts of the house could be changed. Electronics were adaptable to all conditions. A car's surface could change color. Or it could self-heal. Tires could adapt for different terrains and weather conditions. Transparent windows could be blocked out for privacy. Children's toys and other objects were highly configurable. Implantable brain-computer interfaces were needed to control the catoms. By the late 21st century, buildings and even humans and entire cities could be simulated this way. This revolutionized communication in much the same way that augmented reality did. This had a profund impact on society.

zap is one of the spells from the Sorcery! epic.[1]
It is one of the official six most useful spells and, like the other spells in that category, costs the player 4 stamina points per use.
It creates a lightning bolt that shoots from the tip of the caster's finger. If used against a creature, it will often cause an instant kill. It is quite similar in effects to hot and costs the same amount of stamina.

The two Newcastle players most likely to want to leave Newcastle this summer, now that we are in the Championship, are Gini Wijnaldum and Moussa Sissoko – the player who thinks he should be playing for a Champions League side but has contented himself with being at Newcastle for just over three years.
Moussa will be playing for France in Euro 2016 – and if he plays well Newcastle may even be able to get the £20M they want for the player and quite honestly if a club bids that much we should sell him.
Gini Wijnaldum scores penalty against Spurs
And in L'Equipe on May 19th they stated that Moussa had no intention of playing in the Championship next season and West Ham are one of the Premier League clubs said to be interested in the player.
Both players didn't exactly cover themselves in glory in our away games last season and there's a question mark if we do keep them whether they will bother turning up at places like Burton Albion and other clubs with small grounds in January. when it's really cold and pouring down with rain.
Probably not.
Gini's agent Humphrey Nijman wasted no time in saying his client has to think about his future, once Roma had said they were interested.
This is what Nijman told RomaNews:
"Wijnaldum's situation right now is very simple," "Newcastle have been relegated to the second division, so now the player has to think about his future."
"At the moment I can't say any more, and I can't talk about negotiations. Roma are a great club, one of the best in Europe."
"How much would he cost? I can't answer that, it's the club that decides a player's price." "I only take care of Wijnaldum's contract."
That sounds like Gini's agent trying to push the move.
Agents generally are keen on moves for their players, not because it may be good for their client, but it's definitely good for the agent, since they get paid when they negotiate a new deal.
That's only one reason agents are becoming a big problem in the game of football.
Pochettino was at the Ireland – Holland game last night in Dublin to see the 1-1 draw.
Wijnaldum started the game and was withdrawn after 82 minutes for striker Luuk de Jong.
Luuk scored Holland's equalizer three minutes later and Wijnaldum had one of those games when he was hardly seen – much like he played for Newcastle in away games last season.
We're not sure if Pochettino was taking a look at Gini since he sat alongside Shane Long's agent – and Shane scored Ireland's goal after 30 minutes and looked good.
Rafa Benitez and Moussa Sissoko
We wouldn't be too upset if both Wijnaldum and Sissoko left Newcastle this summer, but it's completely up to Rafa Benitez and of the two we think Rafa would want to keep Moussa rather than Gini.
Rafa made Moussa his captain and was impressed with his 100% work ethic in training, but he dropped Gini after that Southampton debacle when the Dutchman was nowhere to be seen.
They are both good players for sure, but they certainly didn't pull their weight last season – and if they stayed then maybe the same thing would happen in the upcoming season.
That would be a concern.
It will also depend on how much they want to leave and if they are adamant that they want to leave Newcastle they should go.
If Rafa does sell them he can use the money to bring in some new players to replace them.
We like that alternative.
What do you think?

Colombo, Oct 8: Sri Lanka skipper Mahela Jayawardene decided to step down as captain of the national T20 team, following their 36-run defeat to West Indies in the World T20 final at R Premadasa Stadium on Sunday.
Having played his fourth World Cup final, Mahela Jayawardene and his team failed to win the title, as they choked while chasing a modest 138.
"Just one announcement guys, I have had a chat with the selectors and I have decided to step down as a captain of the Sri Lankan T20 team after the end of the tournament," said Mahela after the loss to West Indies in the final.
Jayawardene's wicket was indeed the turning point, as things could have changed if he had stayed for a few more overs. It was a poor shot off Narine's bowling that gave Windies the prized wicket of Jayawardene which ensured that Windies had already won the battle.
The 35 year old cricketer also admitted that a youngster needs to be groomed for the job, and stepped down as T20 skipper but confirmed that he would continue to lead the side in the ODIs and Tests until December 2012.
"I have taken this decision so that the selection committee can groom someone younger for this job," he added.
"Obviously, I will remain captain in the Tests and ODIs till the Australia series in December and then take a call on my future as captain," he said
Having quit captaincy, Mahela was asked if he would continue to play T20 internationals, as the 35 year old replied saying it would certainly depend on the new captain.
"It depends whether the new captain wants me in the team."

Ginola recovering after quadruple heart bypass operation
David Ginola declared himself "fine" on Friday after regaining consciousness following a quadruple heart bypass operation overnight.
A tweet from Ginola's account said he had "never slept better" after his dramatic collapse while playing football on Thursday.
Hello world, never slept better. I'm fine, just need to rest a bit. Thank you so much all of you for your magnificent support.— David Ginola (@teamginola) May 20, 2016
It appears that this tweet have been authorised by Ginola, but the message posted amid his health scare yesterday was clearly not direct from the Frenchman, who was unconscious at the time this was posted.
Footy match in the midday sun, not very clever. Now having some tests done. Whoever voted for a World Cup in Qatar in the summer?— David Ginola (@teamginola) May 19, 2016
The 49-year-old former Newcastle and Tottenham winger was attending a celebrity golf tournament in Mandelieu on the French Riviera.
He was taken to the Monaco Cardio-Thoracic Centre, where he was operated on by Professor Gilles Dreyfus.
Professor Dreyfus, quoted in local newspaper Var-Matin, clarified Ginola had not suffered a heart attack but said the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart had been affected.
"He arrived in a catastrophic state," the surgeon said. "He was unconscious and did not remember anything.
"But it is going well. I have been able to talk to him. He does not show any neurological after-effects.
"He did not have a heart attack but he had very complicated coronary lesions which required us to perform a quadruple bypass. We began the operation at 1900 and finished between 0100 and 0130 (local time, from 1800 to between midnight and 0030 BST)."
Ginola won 17 caps for France and also had spells at Aston Villa and Everton before his retirement in 2002.

level 5 for BioShock 3 is Agora, this was once a popular shopping center in Rapture but now it has seen better days. now it is governed by Moses Lydocker (who - in my vesion of Rapture for the purpose of the game - survived being locked in Fontaines Department Store).
As soon as you get out of the Undertow Ogdred will contact you "This is Agora, it's seen better days.....shame i like shopping hear. o well", head inside the main pavilion and you are contacted by Moses Lydocker "well, well, well if it isnt the Big Brother, now i dont know what you want from Kinkaid but you arnt gett'in him, i may be a cripple but i have complete controle of the Security System hear.....which reminds me where are my manners, i havent propely welcomed you!".
you will then hear the sound of LOTS of Security bots and must servive them for 2mins 20secs, once you do that an announcment will play throughout Agora "Alright fellow Oppertunists, this is Moses now listen up! Big Brothers hear and i want him dead ya hear me! FOR OPPERTUNITY!". Ogdred "From the sound of it hes locked himself up in the security booth, shouldent be hard to find it. if memory serves i think its on the top floor on the right side of the building.
you must fight your way to the Security booth, but there are 2 turrets and a camera gaurding it and the door is locked up tight. Ogdred "hmmm cant get in that way.....the janitors closet! on the right side of the building is the a closet used by the janiter, inside there is an air vent that will lead you streaght to the security booth". so now you must reach the janiters closet on the right side of the building. on the way you will find a lage broken floor, makeing a chasm in the room. Ogdred "Hmmmm you nead away across, there should be a Jack Frost Tonic in the Plasmid store, use it to amplifiy your Winter Blast into a concentrated blizzard so you can freeze a bridge with that burst water main."
so go collect the Tonic and freeze the bridge. Moses "not so fast boy, security want a word with you." then a large, muscular splicer jumps down in front of you (Uber Spicer) and will attack you. Ogdred "wow now thats a big Splicer, slay the mans exicutiner then off with his head". the Uber Splicer is fast, strong and inteligent (its basicly the same thing Fontaine turned into at the end of the first game). after kiling it make your way to the closet. Moses "No! DAMN YOU! STAY OUT!" get into the vent "NO I DIDNT SURVIVE FOR YOY TO KILL ME YOU BASTARD!".
drop into the security booth and you will find moses sitting there in a wheel chair. Moses "ok fine, kill me i dont care....i hate this city....sometimes i wish Kinkaide never saved me." Ogdred "Hmmm he has sent all manner of pawns to kill you freind, so deal withhim as you wish.....hes in a wheel chair so he wont be much of a fight by the way."
take the key of the table and walk out the door and it will lock behind you. Moses "damn thought maby you would kill me, well i geuss i ow you for spareing me.......ill do the only thing i can from hear hehe" ALL SECURITY DEVICES CHANGE TO ALLY STATUS. Ogdred "well that was convenient".
you look at his dead body then pick up the key and leave. Ogdred "Haha well what luck-(sound of security alarm)-damn that bastard set the alarms off now every security device is n your tail!" EVERY SECURITY DEVICE BECOMES HOSTILE AND SECURITY BOTS WILL SPAWN EVERY 10 SECS.
now the objective is to make your way to the Undertow.
Launcher- retreived from a Rumbler. can be upgraded 3 times.
Radar Range- locked in the kitchen appliances area and neads a code to get. can be upgraded 3 times.
Uber Splicer- large, powerful, smart and fast these splicers are very powerful.
Frosty Splicer- Splicers that are embued with Winter Blast (there is no Old Man Winter in this game)

Receive our special offers & featured listing once a month
Led by
Michael Stephens, previously a director of Thailand's Chiva-som
& Gaia Grant, international presenter and author.
Workshop brief:
The purpose of this brand-new program is to meet the great challenge posed by
Gandhi --"You must be the change you want to see in the world".
Mind Rafts are what we believe about the world. Our best ideas, our best
thoughts, our best beliefs, create the reality in which we live today, and if
you have not created the reality that you need or desire, you must challenge
the ideas that got you here.
Workshop approach:
Through simple awareness techniques, group learning opportunities and personal
inventory, Mind Rafts is a sustainable program of concepts and skills by which
you choose to create a new reality. By combining nature, science and eastern
philosophy Mind Rafts is a powerful program of personal exploration and
discovery that lays the foundation for the change you want to see in the world.
Michael Stephens is a teacher, writer, and Reiki Practitioner. His passion is
to help people obtain skills and concepts to expand their minds, free their
spirits and cope with the daily rigors of life and business. With his extensive
experience teaching from one-on-one to thousands of people, he appreciates that
everyone is looking for the same thing - self contentment.
Workshop brief:
There is a new approach to the old balanced lifestyle
conundrum. Rather than focusing on managing time, this new approach claims that
it is more effective to manage energy. By managing energy effectively there can
be a greater focus on achieving goals successfully through directed attention
and 'full engagement'. Research now shows that athletes who successfully
alternate periods of high pressure training with focused rest and recovery
achieve the greatest results, and likewise individuals from all walks of life
can learn to 'find a rhythm' and achieve maximum performance and satisfaction
in life and work through applying these principles.
Workshop approach:
This unique workshop is designed to help refocus, rebalance. and realign life
values, the sessions are designed to provide the master tools needed to tune up
and to get into shape mentally, physically and emotionally. Information about
the latest psychological and physiological research is combined with simple
practical exercises, targeted group discussions and focused relaxation
