The Whitewashers
The law's critics failed to inculcate appropriate nonlegal norms here. Their embarrassing silence in the face of governmental corruption and dysfunction destroyed the idea they had promoted.
The argument was a serious one: the legalization of Israeli life. About a decade ago, a small but high-quality group of public figures, jurists and academics began arguing that Israel was undergoing a dangerous process that put the law above politics. They were not all rightists; centrists also leveled scathing criticism at judicial activism. Lawyers and businessmen, columnists and politicians argued with growing force that Israel's legal system had gone mad.
One argument was that the Supreme Court, then headed by Aharon Barak, had exceeded its proper bounds and increased its own power at the expense of the elected government. Another argument focused on the law enforcement system, then headed by Edna Arbel, Maj. Gen. Moshe Mizrahi and Brig. Gen. Miri Golan: It held that the police and prosecution had begun intervening inappropriately in public life, imposing a reign of terror on the public's representatives and making it impossible to govern.
Critics of the legal system argued that the law must retreat to give the political system and public discourse room to do their jobs. They believed that if this happened - if the judges and prosecutors stopped being the overseers of politics - the cabinet and Knesset would display responsibility and leadership, and Israel would once again be a functioning democracy where the legislators legislate, the ministers administer and the judges judge.
This school of legal critics was not fundamentally populist. It exposed some real problems with the constitutional revolution and pointed out serious flaws in how famous cases of the 1990s were handled (such as those of Ya'akov Ne'eman, Rafael Eitan and Reuven Rivlin). It created a valuable intellectual current whose goal was to balance that of the radical legalists, who had begun to believe that everything was indeed justiciable.
The warriors against legalization went from strength to strength. What began as subversive, shocking statements by Moshe Landau and Ruth Gabison turned into a new consensus. When the halo that had surrounded the Supreme Court faded and faith in the law enforcement agencies began to crack, many began to challenge the supremacy of the law.
Aharon Barak's revolution spawned a counterrevolution. The trend toward hasty criminal proceedings against politicians (Benjamin Netanyahu's gifts, Haim Ramon's kiss) spawned a countertrend of defending the politicians. The media turned its coat. Even the new heads of the prosecution internalized the criticism and adopted a cautious, conservative approach.
Thus Ehud Olmert's first two years in power were years with neither judge nor judgment. Even though it was well-known that the new prime minister came with a whole closet full of skeletons, the skeletons were neither examined nor exposed. Even when the state comptroller located Shula Zaken's astounding journals, toward the end of 2006, the police and prosecution were in no hurry. The Winograd Committee was appointed so that the failures of the Second Lebanon War would not be investigated by a juridical state commission. Ramon and Daniel Friedmann were successively appointed justice minister in order to castrate the court, neuter the prosecution and tame the police.
The one agenda of this agenda-less government was forcing the law into retreat. There was a mood of "we've had it with the judges." We've had it with the prosecutors, we've had it with the policemen, we've had it with the High Court of Justice. We've had it with the rule of law.
But this April, something happened. Attorney General Menachem Mazuz, State Prosecutor Moshe Lador, Police Commissioner David Cohen and the head of the police investigations department, Yohanan Danino, were confronted with information they could not ignore. This information forced them to choose: either a systematic and thorough investigation of the prime minister, or whitewashing and collaboration.
The four made the right decision. In a sense, they became heroes against their will. They are neither Edna Arbel nor Joan of Arc. They are not happy about ousting a sitting prime minister. Yet after both the political system and the public system failed, they were left standing alone. And because they have passed the point of no return, they now have no choice but to see the process through to the end.
The day when an indictment is filed against the prime minister will be a sad one. The facts detailed in the charge sheet will be embarrassing and depressing. Yet the very fact that an indictment has been filed will be a source of pride and hope. It will prove that despite everything, there are policemen, prosecutors and judges in Israel. There is law and justice.
That will also be an appropriate day to settle accounts with Friedmann, Ramon and Gabison. On that day, everyone will understand that in the two years they were granted, the law's critics failed to inculcate appropriate nonlegal norms here. Their embarrassing silence in the face of governmental corruption and dysfunction destroyed the idea they had promoted. This silence was responsible for the fact that at a critical moment, public and political criticism failed to work. The law's critics became unwitting collaborators with a vile government. And they left Israelis with no choice but to once again put their trust in the law and its representatives.

Determining Project-Based Emissions Baselines with Incomplete Information
Project-based mechanisms for emissions reductions credits, like the Clean Development Mechanism, pose important challenges for policy design because of several inherent characteristics. Participation is voluntary. Evaluating reductions requires assigning a baseline for a counterfactual that cannot be measured. Some investments have both economic and environmental benefits and might occur anyway. Uncertainty surrounds both emissions and investment returns. Parties to the project are likely to have more information than the certifying authority. The certifying agent is limited in its ability to design a contract that would reveal investment intentions. As a result, rules for baseline determination may be systematically biased to overallocate, and they also risk creating inefficient investment incentives. This paper evaluates, in a situation with asymmetric information, the efficacy of the main baseline rules currently under consideration: historical emissions, average industry emissions, and expected emissions.

The 5th generation iPad (iPad 5 for sake of convenience) is allegedly going to land in early Spring.
Design-wise, Macotakara claims that it will follow along from cues given by the iPad mini.
"According to my inside source, iPad(5th) may be released in March, 2013. Source told that, design of this new iPad will be like iPad mini in detail, and be thinner and lightweight. (The expectation comes to have a small 4mm in height, 17mm in width, depth 2mm)."
That means we'll see a slimmer bezel, and a chamfered frame. As with any rumor you should take this with the usual helping of salt. Nothing is guaranteed until Apple announces it. Although the release does fall in to the usual cycle of full-size iPads, it's fair to say that the update in October threw the cycle book out the window.

Ad Astra per Aspera: "To the stars through difficulty." It's the Sunflower State's motto, and the phrase also happens to be war cry for the 2008 Kansas State football team. Fitting? Well, the difficulty part is certainly there. The stars, on the other hand, are still waiting patiently for the Wildcats' arrival. And while said arrival doesn't look to be in the cards for the near future, the mindset of cornerback Blair Irvin and his K-State teammates remains unchanged.
The Latin slogan, which is printed on the cover of the team's 2008 media guide, has apparently struck a certain chord inside Irvin, who recently had its English translation tattooed across the back of the very hands he uses to knock down passes on Saturdays.
How's that for a lasting impression.
Article Continues Below
"Being with (my teammates) every day, you can't do anything but shoot for the stars." Irvin said. "These guys want it and I want it. We haven't had anything handed to us. We started out at the bottom, so we can't feel bad that we're at the bottom. We're not really at the bottom though. We're in the mix. We still control our own destiny."
The defensive back, a Louisiana product who has lived in Kansas for less than three years, says the motto, which he first became familiar with upon his arrival at K-State last spring, speaks to him personally, describing his life up to this point and the tumultuous 2008 season his team is currently enduring to tee. It's like the words were written just for him, and according to Irvin, the tattoo was nothing more than the result of the perfect opportunity coming along at the perfect time.
He speaks about his love for the state he now calls home. It's the place in which he met his wife, had his child, and restarted his football career, and the defensive back hopes that this weekend, it will serve as the stage for the turning point of his junior season.
"Kansas: To the stars through difficulty. This place just fits my personality," Irvin said. "I've been through a lot of difficult things, but still, I try to make positives and move forward. When Coach told us about (the motto) … well, that's the way our team is. We've been through a lot, but we're still headed to the stars."
While Irvin is the only player on the K-State roster who as gone as far as to inscribe the words on his flesh, both the stars and the difficulty standing in the way are clear to all parties involved. So though it seems crazy to most, nobody's paging Houston about the problems plaguing this ship just yet. There's no doubt that at least some manner of fight and confidence remains inside this team. Bystanders can see it. It's obvious.
But that confidence could all be snatched away by a stiff gust of Oklahoma wind this weekend, and the players on this team need look no further than the 42-point stomping K-State received at the hands of Nebraska a little more than a year ago for proof of just how demoralizing and season-altering a blowout loss can be.
It's no secret that things have been far from good in Manhattan since the "Lincoln Massacre." K-State dropped every game that followed it in 2007 and the 2008 version of the team ranks in the bottom three of the conference in scoring defense, rushing defense, total defense, kickoff return yards, turnover margin and time of possession.
Oh, and the Wildcats, 4-3 on the year, have yet to brave the tough part of the schedule. A gauntlet of meetings with opponents ranked in the top 20 starts this weekend, when No. 4 Oklahoma travels to the Little Apple, and games with No. 19 Kansas and No. 16 Missouri are set to come on its heels.
How's that for difficulty?
But as likely as a string of three losses seems to be, the Wildcats aren't concerning themselves with embarrassing stat totals, projections or public perception.
"People might be (burying this team to early), but it is what it is," senior defensive end Ian Campbell said. "I don't have any feeling toward fair-weather people. We're here through the thick and thin, and if other people don't want to be there for us, I don't have time to think about that. I care about our fans. I know the loyal fans will be there until the end of this thing, win or lose, and we appreciate that."
Like many head coaches, K-State's Ron Prince makes a point of letting people know that he doesn't read the papers or make any effort to gain and an outsiders perspective on his team, but the men who do the head coach's bidding on the field of play seem all too familiar with the program's current public perception.
Then again, it's hard to argue with facts.
"It's hard to ignore all the stuff you read and what people say, but I was brought up being told that if you don't want to hear bad things, you better do good things," Irvin said. "As a team, we know we're better than what we've shown."
"We have a lot to prove," freshman running back Logan Dold said.
So while the upcoming schedule is rough to say the least, if it's a proving ground Dold and the Wildcats are looking for, they won't need to look very far down the schedule to find it.
A win over the Sooners this weekend would do wonders in turning the team's outlook from bleak to bright. Finding a way to steal two out of the next three would set everything in Manhattan right, but even talking about that chances of such a thing taking place seems like a stretch at the moment, and you won't find too many Wildcats willing to dispute that.
You can't talk or even tattoo your way to the stars after all.
"We've been known to beat top-ranked teams in the past, so their coaches will have them ready for us," Dold said. "Coming (into the next three games) as underdogs means we're the ones with a everything to prove."
The coming three weeks are going to prove something. That much is for sure. Just what that will be, however, is up for debate.

Tdi gelatinous sludge - 01/18/14 12:11 PM
I recently picked up another project car, anyone want to chime in on causes of this amount of sludge. 2003 Tdi Vw with 148k miles, turbo failed due to clogged supply line go figure! Previouse owner swears he did 10k oil change full synth. The car was only driven in the summer, parked each winter. No information on brand or diesel specific oil, or if it was changed before parking for the winter.

Are we too morbid?
I stay away from politics on my two sites (the other is about how to cope with the recession, http://hopeycopey.blogspot.com), but let's just say I am a former Dem.
Now we are debating whether pix of a person shot in the face should be plastered everywhere.
Well, why not—we saw Saddam's sons slabbed out. We saw Daniel Pearl's head sawed off. We see pix of headless cartel victims. We see the heads. Autopsy photos are all over the net.
We see hollowed out murder victims (the canoe) on dramatic shows, CSI, Bones, NCIS, etc., every night. People chat over their organless cavities.
We see shots of crime scenes complete with pools of brown dried blood…on and on. We can even blast people to bits—Grand Theft Auto, Tour of Duty.
I read crime books. I was a crime survivor. I have had a loaded gun against my head. Is all this to ward off the horror, to decondition ourselves…but can this have a dark side, this deconditioning? Can we be hardened, ghoulish, soul-sick?
Just wondering.

I have shot guns. I have had loaded guns held on me for hours--threatened with death. The other day I was wondering what percentage of the population in war, peace, murder, self-defense, accident, has shot someone. It's a huge deal, I imagine. Yet, we accept it so casually. It's entertainment. Was it a offhand deal when a madman shot Rep Giffords? No--it was shocking, horrible. My aunt shot someone decades ago--my aunt had mental problems. It was a huge deal. Anyhow, think about it--lives ended, time's up, over. Some people are bad, evil even (I do believe in evil), but snuffing them out is a huge deal one-to-one. Not the stuff of armchair punditry, spin or "narratives." And as far as I am concerned, not a cause of gleeful celebration. The real problem is--revenge is not enough. Revenge can never do the trick. Not ever.

Not necessarily. I feel that water at room temperature is best on most occasions, but on a real hot day while doing a hard workout, cold water tends to feels better and rehydrates faster. So it would depend on the timing.Neelanjana Singh. Warm water may be taken if a person so desires but consuming water at a temperature close to the body temperature is desirable from the health perspective. Hot or cold water intake is often linked to weight loss and weight gain. Does drinking hot water help shed kilos? Does the temperature even matter? Today, with expert inputs from Neelanjana Singh, Chief of Dietetics and Nutrition Consultant, PSRI Hospital, New Delhi and Arnav Sarkar, Kolkata-based strength and fitness coach, we'll unravel the mystery behind drinking hot and cold water for weight loss. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images Does the temperature of the water matter at all?Arnav Sarkar. Not really. It\'s far more important that you get enough water throughout the day rather than worry too much about hot or cold.Neelanjana Singh. Yes, the temperature of water can play a role in refreshing a person depending on the environmental conditions. Warm water/ fluids, however, provide a feeling of satiety and fullness. What are the health benefits of drinking hot or cold water? Arnav Sarkar. In general cold water tends to be more easily absorbed than hot, so it might be a better choice when you are working out. Mind you, I mean relatively cold compared to room temperature and not ice cold. On the other hand warm water is known to be better for detox. But then again if you have enough clean water then your body will detox well enough.Neelanjana Singh. There are many myths supporting the use of hot or cold water in different situations but scientific evidence does not indicate any such benefit. Is it true that one should always opt for warm or room temperature water whenever they can?Arnav Sarkar. Not necessarily. I feel that water at room temperature is best on most occasions, but on a real hot day while doing a hard workout, cold water tends to feels better and rehydrates faster. So it would depend on the timing.Neelanjana Singh. Warm water may be taken if a person so desires but consuming water at a temperature close to the body temperature is desirable from the health perspective. How much and what kind of water should I drink in my pre and post gym session?Arnav Sarkar. Before your workout have normal water at room temperature. During the workout go for water that is slightly colder than room temperature. However this might not work with everyone as some people might do better with water at room temperature during a workout.Neelanjana Singh. Although perceptions of temperature, thirst and fullness change after an exercise session, there is no particular advantage of drinking water at any specific temperature. How true is the claim that coffee depletes water from our bodies?Arnav Sarkar. Yes, the caffeine in coffee is a diuretic, and thus can make you expel more water. However for that you will really have to drink lots and lots of coffee, and even then it's not going to make you totally dehydrated if you drink enough water in the first place.Neelanjana Singh. Yes, some of these drinks have a diuretic effect but in a very mild way. How true is the \"eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day\" nutritional recommendation?Arnav Sarkar. It's a general guideline that I think is not fully accurate. For eg a person living in the North Pole will require much lesser water than someone living in a hot desert. Similarly a man who does hard labor will require a lot more water than a man who works in an airconditioned office. However you may find that beginning with the eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day is a good way to begin, and see from there if you need more. If you are feel thristy, then you are already dehydrated and need to drink more water.Neelanjana Singh. This dictum is no longer valid as a recommendation. For normal healthy individuals it is advised that water intake such that the color of urine passed is pale yellow. If the color is darker, one needs to drink more water.

Thomas has fluid buildup around left elbow
Thomas has fluid buildup around left elbow
DETROIT -- Brad Thomas said on Monday that an MRI exam showed no structural damage in his left elbow. The Tigers medical staff diagnosed his injury as a buildup of fluid around the elbow, not necessarily bursitis.
That inflammation, Thomas said, caused his elbow to lock up when he tried to throw on Friday in Pittsburgh.
Thomas said medical officials recommended allowing the elbow to drain on its own, rather than forcing it. He'll need a few days, anyway, to allow the swelling to reduce from the dye injection he received for the MRI.
Once that happens, Thomas doesn't expect to need much time throwing to get back up to game speed. Still, add up the time, and it appears unlikely he'll be ready to come off the disabled list when he's eligible on Thursday.

Juggling the archives, here's our very first shot of our very first EVA, a few days ago when we were still jetlagged and travel tired!
Hugh donned his spacesuit to help out the refit team by taking out the garbage "in sim". More to come…
Juggling the archives, here's our very first shot of our very first EVA, a few days ago when we were still jetlagged and travel tired!
Hugh donned his spacesuit to help out the refit team by taking out the garbage "in sim". More to come…
So as a blogger I'm supposed to write something neat and witty about commanding my first ATV EVA (six short letters compressing the oxymoronic phrase "all-terrain vehicle extra-vehicular activity"):
Of course, being "commander" basically meant that my job was to keep everyone on the right road so we could hit all the fun spots before we ran out of air:
And now the wit and wisdom of the post-digerati blogosphere should be inserted here. But unfortunately work on a Mars station, shorthanded and overloaded with post-refit cleanup tasks which in turn generate reams of paperwork, has left me — has left us all — so tired that I can't even think straight:
We're having to jury-rig components to keep the station's power working since the replacement generator hasn't arrived yet …
… and don't ask about the war with the Mighty Martian Mouse.
But, on the bright side, I have a beautiful dreamer sending me the staff of life (pound cake) by Earth-Mars express.
So yall have a good night and I'm going to catch some z's.
Because of my trip out to the Mars Desert Research Station, my blog will be a bit fractured as I unload stories from both MDRS and prior, whenever I can get online to clear the backlog. Please be patient. Leaving the comforts of civilization was a challenge…
but it certainly has its privileges:
and since some of you have asked about cryptic emails from me I'll update you all shortly with details on the entire analogue Martian lexicon: cougar country, flashlight duty, rocket fuel, the mighty martian mouse, blowing mud, ATV EVAs, and of course, the Martian motto: Whatever It Takes!
Ad ares!
Let me hold the door for you…
But don't move there…
Or there either…
You'll find something.
I have touched down in Salt Lake City, our stand-in for the Orbiting Mars Way Station that will receive future visitors to the Red Planet. Still don't know if we'll have email, but things are getting closer and closer. Our crew is forming up:
And we're getting ready to hop in our Mars Orbit-To-Surface transport vehicle (the big old MDRS van) and send our first crew out to the station! More news as it happens.
Ad Ares!
Just so you all know… because I'm late, and because I can't guarantee that I will be able to post while I'm out at the MDRS, I'm going to put up a dual update this week… and also return to posting my own art, now that my arm has healed!
Up today: Clarke and Cleopatra
This one is a dual page spread — sorry it may be a bit difficult to view, but I've not yet figured out how to take this large format comic (which splashed across two pages) and make it still legible when shrunk.
Up tonight: Amber and Xiao
Back to your normal format.
Well, it's official: the crew is set and I'm on my way to Mars tomorrow morning! You can check us out starting the 21st of February at: MDRS Daily Field Reports or MDRS Home!
Ad Ares!
Try the Regex Coach — this looks like a way cool way to figure out the comic-book cusswords that Perl, Awk and their friends use for regular expression matching (finding strings in longer strings).
I particularly like the tool's ability to translate what a regular expression means into human-readable language:
Check it out!
-the Centaur
Good news, everyone. I'm going to Mars!
Or, more accurately, the Mars Desert Research Station sponsored by the Mars Society.
I will be the Crew and Computer Engineer for Crew 35, which will serve from February 19th to March 6th. More news in a bit as soon as the final crew complement has stabilized …
Ad ares!
