Timothy Detudamo
Timothy Detudamo (died 11 April 1953) was a Nauruan politician and linguist. The father of Buraro Detudamo, he is known as the founder of modern Nauruan society and served as Head Chief from 1931 until his death in 1953.[1]
Born in Uaboe, Detudamo was a pastor in his younger years. In 1917, he travelled with Philip Delaporte, for whom he had been an assistant in creating a Nauruan dictionary, to the United States to help him translate religious scripts to Nauruan. To finance the travel, Detudamo needed US$500, which he raised through donations. He remained in the US until 1921, when he returned to Nauru and became politically active. In 1938, he tried to reform the Nauruan language by making it more understandable for Europeans and Americans. However, his reforms were not widely adopted and today the old orthography continues to be more common. Still, he is considered the most important Nauruan linguist. He spoke five languages: Nauruan, German, English, Marshallese, and Gilbertese.
In 1931 Detudamo was elected Head Chief of the Council of Chief of Nauru and held office until 1942 when Japan occupied the island. During the Japanese occupation he served as Governor until 30 June 1943 when he was deported to Truk Lagoon along with most of the Nauruan population. On 31 January 1946 he returned to Nauru to resume his position of Head Chief.
Following the introduction of a Local Government Council in 1951 Detudamo was elected to the Council from the Denigomodu, Nibok, Uaboe, and Baiti constituency. He was subsequently elected Head Chief by the Council on 18 December 1951.[2]
In 1953 Detudamo died after a long illness, and was succeeded as Head Chief by Raymond Gadabu.[3]

You didn't know we had a secret space shuttle? I thought everyone knew! Well, this one is pretty small, and it's unmanned. Which helps explain why it spent over a year in orbit:
Space Daily— There's been some speculation that X-37B was spying on ground targets with cameras inside the payload bay. This is certainly possible, but it's important to distinguish a camera test from an operational spying mission. We don't even know for sure if spy cameras were inside the payload bay. This author believes that the parts under the hood were less exciting, and probably include mechanical hinges, batteries, insulation samples and electronic boards.
Such things are not very sexy, but they're vital. Several NRO spy satellites have suffered untimely demises when parts inside them suddenly failed. Developing and testing quality satellite parts is probably the most critical challenge currently facing the NRO.
The X-37B offers a unique opportunity to fly these parts in space for lengthy periods, expose them to the rigours of orbit, and return them to Earth for analysis. Plus, the spacecraft is operated by the military, which can provide an appropriate level of secrecy for the mission.
Really? We don't have enough surveillance capacity with our army of spy sats and drones and signal intel and pay offs and the whole bit? One of these days, if this madness ever ends, we're gonna see just what kinds of nifty gizmos our trillions bought. I bet it's more than a couple of spare hubble-like telescope.

Mannus playing his part for Northern Ireland out of spotlight
Alan Mannus freely admits to being totally frustrated at being the odd man out when it comes to Northern Ireland goalkeepers.
But St Johnstone's No.1 in the SPL has vowed to hang in as Michael O'Neill's third choice keeper behind Roy Carroll and Lee Camp.
"Yes it's hard," says former Linfield stopper Mannus. "I've been in more squads than nearly anyone else for more than eight years now yet I have only four caps to show for it.
"But at least I'm in the squad. There was a time when I never thought I'd ever play for my country so I suppose I have to be happy with that.
"It's just that after so long I would have hoped to have been given more chances especially in friendly games. For a while I was number two behind Lee but have slipped down the pecking order now that Roy is back in the squad.
"They are both fine goalkeepers playing at a high level, Lee with Nottingham Forest in the Championship and Roy in Greece with Olympiakos so I just have to accept the situation. It doesn't make it any less frustrating however although working out with them is bound to be of benefit."
Mannus was frozen out of the squad for a spell under former boss Nigel Worthington.
That hurt and he says: "I never got an explanation. I can only assume it was because I pulled out of Nigel's squad for the end of season American tour.
"It was a hard choice because I was with Shamrock Rovers and we were pushing hard for the league title. To go to America would have meant missing at least two crucial games so I decided to stay at home. I have no regrets because I felt I owed it to the club.
"Obviously I did suffer but the subsequent move to Scotland has worked out fine and now I'm better equipped if and when there is a time when Lee and Roy cannot make it for whatever reason."

Thirteen's the lucky number for Omaha Public Power District (OPPD). A subdivision of the Nebraska state government, OPPD generates and distributes electricity to residents and businesses in 13 counties in southeastern Nebraska. It operates and maintains its facilities without tax revenues and raises money for major construction through bonds. OPPD serves – more... more than 352,000 customers in an area covering 5,000 sq. mi. The utility has a generating capacity of more than 3,220 MW, which is powered by nuclear, coal, oil, and natural gas sources. It sells wholesale power to other utilities and offers energy consulting and management services.
OPPD is the 12th-largest publicly owned electric system in the US in terms of numbers of customers served. The power district provides retail service to about 50 towns and wholesale to five. OPPD operates about 15,500 miles of electric line.
The organization boosted its generating capacity in 2009, opening a second generating unit with 682 MW of power capacity at its Nebraska City location, which allows it to sell more power off system. OPPD also plans to boost its generating capacity at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Station by about 80 MW in 2012.
Like other utilities, OPPD is pushing conservation and green energy initiates to reduce carbon emissions with its customers as a service to help them control costs. It 2010 it offered its customers discount coupons to buy "smart" (fluorescent) light bulbs, and in 2011 the utility announced that it was studying how to support both the auto industry and customers regarding the larger numbers of electrical cars being introduced into its service region.
In pursuit of its goal of getting 10% of its retail energy from renewable sources by 2020, in 2011 OPPD reported that 4% of its retail sales came from green energy sources.
The company posted an almost 6% growth in revenues in 2011, driven by higher retail sales, primarily to due a flood-related regulatory revenue adjustment and by unusually hot weaker spiking power demand. The revenue growth outpaced expenses, despite higher operating costs related to protecting and maintaining the cOPPD's power plants during the flooding of the Missouri River that year.

The first step towards tyranny is to disarm the citizens who are legally allowed to posses fire arms for self defense, hunting, etc. It seems that the Democrats aren't letting the Newtown crisis go to waste and now Marxist California Democrat Senator Diane Feinstein is about to introduce legislation to 'ban' assault weapons. Apparently, handguns are considered assault weapons to Marxist Democrats like Feinstein as they are a part of the new legislation.
Last week, Sen. Dianne Feinstein promised to on the first day of new the Congress introduce legislation that would ban so-called assault weapons and certain types of ammunition.
Now, the Californian senator has posted a summary of this legislation that would be introduced in 2013, showing more details about the provisions that she would hope would be included. And it doesn't just have to do with what she calls "assault" weapons.
Here are a few bullet points on the guns that would be banned from sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing:
120 specifically-named firearms
Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one military characteristic
Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds

Raised on God and squirrels
...now that's what I call poverty. Gossip tell Sophie Heawood about their American Gothic roots
In our class-obsessed pop culture, the "posh" tag is, to quote Billy Connolly, about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit. Johnny Borrell went to private school with one of the Libertines, and Lily Allen was in the same year at Bedales as Luke Pritchard from the Kooks, but all of them would love to play down their privilege and beef up those working-class credentials. So it's refreshing to meet the Gossip, a girl-girl-boy trio from the Southern American state of Arkansas whose talk of growing up poor refers not to the ignominy of being a day pupil, but of being so hungry that they had to eat squirrels.
"My mom hated us doing it, but all the kids we knew ate squirrels," recalls…

A judge declined Tuesday to dismiss criminal charges against state Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki and a top aide, ruling that Las Vegas is a proper place for their trial on felony misappropriation of funds charges.
Clark County District Court Judge Valerie Adair issued an order denying a request from Krolicki and his chief of staff, Kathryn Besser, to dismiss the charges for lack of jurisdiction and let the state try to file the case again in northern Nevada.
Adair ruled that the Clark County grand jury had jurisdiction to return a criminal indictment despite defense lawyers' claims that the alleged offenses would have occurred in Carson City, not Las Vegas, when Krolicki was state treasurer.
"Well you've got to win somewhere," said Besser's lawyer, Lidia Stiglich. "Las Vegas is as good as anywhere."
Stiglich said she plans to mount another challenge before trial to the charges and the manner in which the grand jury was conducted. Trial is due to start Oct. 12.
Chief Deputy Nevada state Attorney General Conrad Hafen, the lead prosecutor in the case, welcomed Tuesday's decision.
"We're very pleased," Hafen said. "Based on the judge's ruling, Clark County is the proper venue for the case to be prosecuted."
Lawyers for Krolicki did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
The judge noted that she reviewed more than 400 pages of grand jury transcripts and evidence since taking over the case following Judge Elissa Cadish's decision to recuse herself last month for a conflict of interest.
The indictment handed up in December charges Krolicki and Besser each with four felony charges – two counts of misappropriation and falsification of accounts by a public officer, and two counts of misappropriation by a treasurer.
Both have pleaded not guilty. The charges each carry the possibility of probation or up to four years in prison.
Authorities say no money was found to be missing from the Nevada College Savings Program, a public-private initiative that helps students and parents save money for school.
But a 2007 audit of the more than $3 billion state-run college savings program found that Krolicki allegedly skirted budget controls and spent more on an advertising campaign than allotted by the Legislature.
Krolicki has called the charges against him political. The indictment crippled the Republican lieutenant governor's plans to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Harry Reid in the November 2010 election. Hafen has denied politics played any role in the case.
Adair last month voided Cadish's decision to disqualify the attorney general from handling the case due to allegations of a conflict of interest. The state Board of Examiners followed by authorizing spending $415,000 to hire Las Vegas lawyer Dominic Gentile to serve as special prosecutor. That contract is on hold.
Krolicki's lawyers say he relied on legal counsel from the attorney general's office when he ran the college savings program, and that he shouldn't be prosecuted by the same agency that provided that advice.

Policy: Effective Spring 2012 semester, Lewis University students will be allocated up to $35 of free printing in the computer labs during each semester they are registered for classes. A student's account will be debited $.10 for each black and white printed copy and $.25 for each color printed copy. Unused allocations cannot be carried forward to the next semester and are non-refundable. If a student requires more than their free print allocation during one semester, the student can electronically add value to his/her account via a personal credit card. Students, guests, alumnae and other Lewis University community members can also purchase value to print at a bill and coin machine located in the Romeoville campus Library. Unused purchased value at the end of each semester will be carried to the following semester and will be debited after the $35 free allocation. Unused purchased value is non-refundable.
The volume of material printed on printers in the public Lewis University labs is continuing to rise dramatically. This policy is environmentally sound and fiscally responsible without restricting legitimate academic needs.
During the last several semesters, the Office of Technology has collaborated with colleges, departments and private vendors to minimize the cost of printing at the University. The warm reception to this endeavor by all members of the community has been encouraging and effective. Through technology upgrades, software and hardware implementations, education and general behavior modifications, we have accomplished great strides.
Upgrading legacy printers with new energy efficient and cost effective equipment has decreased the cost of printing while increasing the quality of service. By providing more reliable equipment, we have experienced less down time related to repairs. This is not only more convenient for our users but is also cost effective by eliminating expensive repair charges.
Additional efforts were made in the Library by purchasing duplex attachments for the new printers. The duplex attachments allow the printers to print on both sides of the paper resulting in a decrease in paper usage. The response by students, faculty and staff has been positive and we anticipate providing this feature in other locations on campus. Faculty should encourage students to submit assignments electronically or accept written assignments using 2-sided printing as part of this green initiative.
The above hardware upgrades have been important to the success of print reduction on campus. However, it is not the only criteria to its success. Ultimately, personal awareness and behavior towards "green" initiatives is the best measure to ensure the success of such a program. To encourage the Lewis community to meet print reduction challenges, we have installed software and hardware to help reduce printing in the Library, College of Business, College of Nursing and Aviation public computer labs. A server running print management software along with print release stations were installed in the above locations during summer 2009. Print jobs are sent to the print server instead of directly to the printers. This allows users to give final printing authorization by releasing their needed jobs at the print release stations. Jobs that are not needed and not released by the user are automatically cancelled after 8 hours. Over the last 20 months, a significant amount of jobs were purged resulting in toner and paper savings as well as decreasing wear and tear on printers.
Unfortunately, even with all of the above changes, we continue to experience excessive printing in the public labs by some individuals. With unlimited printing, some users abuse the privilege and give no or little thought to paper/toner costs and environmental impact.
Users often print documents that they could simply read online or print an entire web document, when they only need a small portion of that document in a printed format. By doing so, the students deprive other students of access to printing resources as well generate wasteful spending of paper and toner. Most colleges and universities are faced with the same dilemma and also have resorted to charging students for printing.
Collection of Monies
The collection of monies at the cash and coin station(s) will be the responsibility of the Business Office. The collection of funds charged online via credit cards will be deposited into a print account as determined by the Business Office. All monies will be deposited into a general Lewis University print account.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Chris Fouch and Gerald Colds each scored 15 points and Drexel sent Towson to its 11th straight defeat with a 65-59 victory Wednesday night.
The Dragons (15-7, 7-5 Atlantic 10 Conference) dominated the boards, outrebounding Towson 47-31, with Daryl McCoy grabbing 13 and Samme Givens 11. Drexel also held Towson to 7-of-26 shooting in the first half and took a 30-22 lead at halftime.
The Tigers (4-18, 0-12) fell behind by 14 points, their largest deficit, when Frantz Massenat, who had 11 points and eight assists, made two free throws with 15:34 remaining. Towson pulled to within four points on four occasions, but couldn't get any closer.
Rashawn Polk led Towson with 14 points. Isaiah Philmore, normally the Tigers' leading scorer (14.0 points a game), struggled to get into double figures with 11, but made only 2 of 11 shots from the field.

Its not going too far to believe that Harland Williams might be certifiably insane. If youve ever caught his antics on film say in Something About Mary, Half-Baked, or Employee of the Month youd at least think some of his wiring is totally crossed. But just like Leeroy Jenkins, Williams could never tell you if he actually is serious or just playing nuts it would ruin the joke. His only answer to the question: Ask the other inmates.
We got Williams on the horn from his L.A. home, where he told us a bit about other personal lore, such as his scene as the Hitchhiker in Something About Mary. I feel lucky. Its like writing a hit song to make such a classic moment in a movie, says Williams. That whole scene is probably 60% improvised, but its amazing what sticks. Does that mean Williams is closer in persona to the 7-minute-abs-pumping hitcher than hed like to admit? Yes, man! The bodies are in the basement!
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Being a bit out there might seem like it comes easy for Williams as well, but hes worked non-stop for 30 years now, perfecting his craft. Actually, thats crafts aside from making hundreds of appearances in TV and film, Williams has his own line of childrens books, hosts a radio show, makes music with his cousin from Barenaked Ladies, and has worked as an accomplish painter since he was in his teens. I was a busy guy. I came out of college fired up to make stuff happen, he explains. I would paint in the day and go downtown to do my gig at the comedy club at night. I just felt like the whole world was in front of me, and I kept thinking, Wow, whats going to happen? Unlike Williams other mysteries, we know what happened: He became one of the most cherished entertainers of his generation. Tonight he hits the Improv Paradise Live (5700 Seminole Way, Hollywood) for a weekend stint. Tickets cost $21. Call 954-981-5653, or visit www.improvftl.com.

Even as he works to bring his homebuilding company out of bankruptcy, Las Vegas developer Jim Rhodes has been sued by a local bank over a loan that is not part of the bankruptcy case.
Community Bank of Nevada sued Rhodes in Clark County District Court on Wednesday, saying he's failed to fulfill a personal guarantee on a loan made in December 2005 to one of his companies called Tropicana Durango Ltd.
"Loans collateralized by real estate in Las Vegas have been taking a beating over the past year. We have tried to work out an agreement with Community Bank of Nevada to restructure this loan, and we are open to discussing a reasonable solution to maintain the loan's performing status,'' Rhodes responded in a statement issued Friday. "If the bank feels that a lawsuit is the best alternative, then we will have to work it out in court."
Community Bank said the loan was issued for $2.625 million and that it went into default on March 15, with $2.191 million due as of April 7.
The lawsuit alleges Rhodes personally guaranteed the loan and waived any requirement that the bank seek payment from the Tropicana Durango company before demanding he pay the debt.
The loan involves some 10.7 acres of undeveloped land that Tropicana Durango has southwest of Tropicana Avenue and Durango Drive, Rhodes spokesman Bill Marion said.

Nice to hear about the antenna fix. Are you rooted? Have you flashed any other antenna? I haven't yet but wonder if there are better ones out there.09-30-2011 07:28 PM
- Those bastards! They sent a free extender? They wouldn't send me one free and I was persistent. And they didn't even warn me that I was in a known crappy reception area when I first got the phone. I had to find out the hard way. I had to pay for my extender. And I have to say it's not great. It gives me full bars, but there is a delay in the conversation. Do you get that?

It's a femtocell, essentially a mini tower in your house that's the size of a beefy router or modem. It runs your calls through your high speed internet connection. So if you have no bars in your house, this fixes that within a certain range of the unit.09-30-2011 10:47 PM
- Well I gave up and rooted before the last update was pushed to my device. Here's what I've found, I took the radio package that was available and flashed it still running stock with the bloatware frozen. I had a marginally better numeric value for reception. Then in order to avoid getting the update pushed to my phone I went to a custom ROM (unity) and now I am still running the updated radio but I don't have any of the issues that I had before. Call quality is much better and very few if any dropped calls and the issue of calls connecting and then not being able to hear any one or be heard is gone completely.10-01-2011 02:10 PM
- Hi all,
I've had my Incredible 2 for about 9 months. Just the other day I started having call malfunctions - I receive a call from a contact, but in reality my number dialed another contact. It has happened probably ten times in the past couple days. I've broken one too many phones in the past so this I've taken great care of- screen protectors, phone cases, leave it at home during the party, etc. There is no water damage to the battery or actual phone according to the criss-cross water detectors. Help please?!
Thanks in advance!12-10-2012 12:50 PM
- Hi Elise. I will offer you some advice below that you probably don't need, just since I don't know enough to give more technical answers. But since there are other people here who might be able to answer with higher level info, it would help if you let us know if you are running your phone in stock mode just like it came from the store/carrier or if you have rooted it and are running some other rom on it. If those terms sound foreign, the answer is that you are running stock. Either way, it may help other people answer if you list what numbered version of the operating system (whether stock or custom) you're using, which you should be able to find out from the settings menu under something like "About This Phone" (not sure how it reads because I'm running a custom rom that might be different in that area). For example, I'm running the Virtuous Unity rom v2.39.0, Android version 2.3.4, and HTC Sense version 3.0. People may be able to use that information to let you know of particular problems with your rom or version and may help them give you a solution.
Now for my Android-for-Dummies advice (best I've got):
Have you powered down the device as in shut it all the way off, taken out the battery for a bit, and restarted it? If not, try that.
Have you tried the thing in the settings menu where you tell it to check for updates? If not, try that. Maybe a pending OTA update would resolve it. (Or maybe you just got one and that's when the problem started)
Have you tried doing a factory reset? This will wipe out everything on your phone and return it to the state it was in when you first bought it and you'll have to set everything up again in terms of re-downloading your apps from your accounts at the app store(s), setting up your icons and widgets and wallpapers and screens the way you want, etc. Anything that was stored locally and not backed up to the web or to an SD card will be wiped out, such as photos and local data in some apps that don't back up to the web (maybe notes or gas mileage entries or saved game data, etc.). Obviously if you're rooted and running a custom rom, this would be a more complicated issue involving re-flashing the rom and all, but if you're not running a custom rom it doesn't apply and if you are running a custom rom then all of this advice is elementary and someone with your tech level would have already tried these steps. I'm listing them since I don't know your situation.
One thing that happened to mine for a while that may be somewhat related was that I'd get a wrong number call but it would show up as a call from my buddy, with his contact avatar showing with the unknown number. Strange. It happened for a while and went away, not sure why.
If all else fails, call Verizon support and let them know it's happening. Maybe they'll send you a replacement. They'll probably walk you through similar steps I've outlined above before getting to that point. If you do send it back, be sure to do a factory reset first so your info and accounts aren't still on it.
OK that's all I've got. Good luck!12-10-2012 01:11 PM
- I have an INC2 w/Page Plus. I haven't been able to update it at all. I understand that the updates come through Verizon but I read on another forum a way to update w/o rooting.

Kapsch TrafficCom has received notice to proceed from the New York State Thruway Authority to develop, install and provide technical support for an all-electronic tolling system. This new system eliminates the need for Thruway drivers to stop or slow down at tolling points.
By enabling toll transactions to be completed at highway speeds, the AET system facilitates free-flowing traffic across multiple lanes to minimize congestion, according to Kapsch.
The more than $18.5 million dollar project is expected to go online during the third quarter of 2015.
The initial project scope includes toll zones at the temporary and permanent New N.Y. Bridge locations (replacing the Tappan Zee bridge), the Harriman Route 17 exits and the Yonkers mainline toll facility. The project also includes options for the addition of AET at other Thruway toll facilities.
With this project the Thruway Authority is implementing a vision to facilitate more seamless traffic flow along a vital commercial and commuter link for New York's largest cities and the entire Northeast, according to Kapsch.
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

Economic Efficiency and the Proceduralisation of Company Law
This paper extends the analysis carried out by the authors for the UK Law Commissions and published as Part 3 of the Consultation Paper on Directors, Duties (September 1998). After considering some of the potential uses of economics in company law, the paper develops a theoretical framework which relates company law to a wider set of corporate governance mechanisms which operate to mitigate risk and uncertainty in contractual relations. This framework is then applied to provisions relating to self-dealing and conflicts of interests under Part X of the Companies Act 1985. It is argued that in this and related contexts, the economic role of company law should be seen as promoting cooperation and the sharing of information and risk between corporate actors, a function described in terms of the 'proceduralisation' of company law.

Late lapses nearly derail positives for Whitecaps
The Vancouver Whitecaps held off a late surge by forward Fanendo Adi (centre) and the Portland Timbers this past Sunday. Considering they were up by three goals, it should have been a much smoother ending. REUTERS
It almost ended poorly for Vancouver Whitecaps FC in Portland on the weekend, but the team managed to win 4-3 in a raucous affair.
The Whitecaps went into the match knowing that the referees haven't exactly been on their side of late, and knowing that — took their chances when they came, which resulted in four goals.
While Vancouver won the match, it shed some light on the positives and negatives the Whitecaps are dealing with this season.
The team needed to make a statement, to finish their chances when they came and they needed to win a match in Portland against a team that they've never been able to beat.
Vancouver accomplished those items, but those weren't the only positives. David Ousted made a huge save in the seventh minute of play off Canadian international Will Johnson. It was the save many were calling upon Ousted to make since he started with the 'Caps. That one save to keep his team in the match, along with a few more late in the game, helped prove his worth.
Eric Hurtado also continued his stellar play, with a goal and drawing a penalty. The 23-year-old striker has always claimed to be full of confidence, and he's attacking defenders and forcing them into mistakes.
What the match against Portland also revealed was that the Whitecaps still have a long way to go to being a dominating team in Major League Soccer.
Leading 4-1, Vancouver almost gave up the lead, allowing two goals late in the match. Those types of finishes are the ones that show the Whitecaps still haven't been able to put together a full 90-minute performance. Mental lapses like Sunday could eventually kill the team's chances of winning games.
Individually, Gershon Koffie fell back into his inconsistent ways, gone was the domination we saw against Seattle. Nigel Reo-Coker's performance at right back made many wishful for a quick and healthy return from World Cup-bound Steve Beitashour.
So far though, the Whitecaps positives certainly outweigh the negatives.
And one positive thing is certain — over the years, we know every 'Caps match is entertaining and you best not look away because you might miss something incredible.

ESSO, Russia, March 9 (UPI) -- One of the longest sled dog races in the world started Saturday on Russia's remote Kamchatka peninsula.
The Beringia Sled Dog Race covers 601 miles between the remote villages of Esso and Ossora and includes a field of 15 teams.
The Iditarod taking place across the Bering Sea in Alaska has a higher profile, but Russia's RIA Novosti news agency said Guinness World Records has certified the Beringia as the longest mushing trail in the world. The certification came in 1991 and 1992, when the trail was more than 1,200 miles long, compared to the 975 miles of this year's Iditarod.
This year's Beringia trail includes 17 stages and is manicured by snow machines and marked by flags.
Racers can get toasty at night in heated quarters at the checkpoints.

The times they are a'changing.
Or, at least, they ought to be, according to Dr Jason Leith, the Scottish Government's new health czar. In an interview in The Herald today, Dr Leith asks a challenging question: "Can we force the system to be nicer?" His appointment comes in the wake of the exposure of serious failings in the standards of care in Scottish hospitals, particularly in geriatric wards.
Not all changes are about hard cash. Dr Leith cites restrictive visiting hours as an area where patients and their families could benefit from change.
Loading article content
Scottish hospitals vary considerably when it comes to visiting hours and there are even variations between one ward and the next, with critical care, paediatrics and maternity most likely to offer more flexibility. Meanwhile, some wards managers oblige visitors to wait in the corridor until the appointed hour, eject them as soon as the bell rings for the end of the allotted timespan and give the distinct impression that they regard patients' loved ones as an impediment to their work.
The Critical Care Unit at the new Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert is at the opposite end of the spectrum. Staff there have gone out of their way to write "welcome" on the mat, with family visitors admitted at literally any hour of the day or night.
Understandably staff have mixed views about such a radical departure from convention. Some welcome the opportunity for closer contact with relatives. In assessment and geriatric wards, relatives can play an active role in helping explain treatment to an elderly person who may be confused and, given the concern about nutrition, they can support staff by helping with feeding.
Other medical staff may regard relatives as a distraction or an interference with the smooth running of the ward. Perhaps they fear that the more relatives see, the more they are likely to complain.
In the 21st century and at a time when the care needs of patients are a subject of real concern, flexibility should be the rule rather than the exception. Clearly, some restrictions are needed to safeguard patient safety and dignity. Visitors need to understand the need to move away when a confidential discussion is going to take place nearby or during certain medical procedures. However, in general, patients are likely to benefit from longer or more frequent visits from those they love. Meanwhile, the presence of relatives takes some of the mystique out of the hospital experience. Inflexible visiting times often prevent those who work shifts or antisocial hours from visiting hospitals and a more flexible regime can accommodate more shorter visits.
In a target-driven culture and a service that has witnessed the professionalisation of nursing, there is a danger that compassion gets relegated, especially when staff are overstretched. The presence of relatives should never be a substitute for professional staff. Over-dependence on relatives for tasks such as feeding and helping a patient walk to the toilet risks resulting in the neglect of patients whose relatives are not willing or able to visit. However, in the second decade of the 21st century, the NHS should be able to offer person-centred care, not rigid ward routines and institutional culture. Times must change.

As news stories across the country discuss the unexpected and as yet unexplained death of Philadelphia Eagles' coach Andy Reid's adult son, Garrett, Wayne Loder finds himself again contemplating the "$7 million question" that people ask about grief: "What can we do to help someone cope with the loss of a child?"
Loder doesn't know the answer, but he certainly knows the pain. In 1991, his son Stephen Loder, 5, and daughter Stephanie Loder, 8, were killed in a car crash. He's been dealing with that question in the two decades since.
He has grieved the deaths of his parents and his wife Patricia has lost a sibling, said Loder, who is a public awareness coordinator for the Illinois-based national organization The Compassionate Friends. The organization offers grief support for parents, siblings, grandparents and guardians through nearly 650 chapters across the country. The death of one's child, whether a minor or an adult, is different, he said.
"There is nothing that you can say that will make it better. So you have to just be there and try to let them know that you care," said Loder. As for wanting to help someone, he warned that "Let me know if there's anything I can do" will never get a response. If you truly want to help someone, be specific. "They don't know what they need at that point; a person is just in shock." Pick a task and offer to do it.
Garrett Reid, 29, was found dead in his dorm room at the team's Lehigh University training camp Sunday. Police said the death was not suspicious and an autopsy is expected to determine the cause of death. His funeral was scheduled for Tuesday.
Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie told reporters that the coach planned to return to work by the end of the week. He was quoted in an article in USA Today: "I expect Andy to be coaching this week and back. I know he feels that way. And he is very, very focused on both his family and his profession." He told the newspaper that Reid just wanted to talk about "how incredibly excited he is for this football team. That's been obvious from the beginning of training camp. But he wanted me to know that.
"Second, he treasures these practices. And he feels bad that he is not going to be at practice today and probably tomorrow."
Although that announcement has raised some speculation about work-life balance and the grieving process, returning to work right away is not such an unusual action.
"Grief is a very personal thing," said Loder, who noted that "what works for one person will not work for another. Some go back to work right away — that's a way of escaping from reality and continuing to do something normal in what is now an abnormal world. Other people can't go back to work. They can't function, can't think properly, can't process the information" because of shock. "If going to work works for you, then that's the way to go about it."
"Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid was a figure of strength, elevating his stature in the eyes of his players when he addressed them in an emotional team meeting five hours after learning of the death of his eldest son, Garrett, Sunday," wrote Jim Corbett in The Huddle, a USA Today blog about pro football.
Loder said he and his wife grieved somewhat differently. She talked more about the loss, while he often sat on his lawnmower tractor and cut the grass for hours as a way of "getting away and thinking about things." An advantage to talking, though, he said, is it brings up "the good things and when they are recalled, that's how you start to get better."
Those who want to help someone cope with a loss as devastating as the death of their child should be mindful that the biggest fear a parent has is that the child will be forgotten. But even close friends and relatives avoid speaking the dead person's name, as if it would trigger pain. Instead, that contributes to the sense that the child is, indeed, forgotten, said Loder.
He also noted that it's a myth that parents who are married and lose a child will probably divorce. A 2006 study affirmed earlier findings that less than one-fifth of couples who share that loss divorce. And only 40 percent of those who do split up cite the death as one of the reasons, he said. That's important for families to know as they cope with the immediate aftermath of their child's death, because they're already devastated by one loss and should not have the sense that the other loss is nearly inevitable, too.
A survey sponsored by the group noted that just more than half of parents employed outside the home that had a child die found their employers very helpful in supporting them during the immediate crisis. Most of the others said employers were neither helpful nor unhelpful in that time; 8.8 percent said they were unhelpful.1 comment on this story
The Compassionate Friends offers a brochure of advice for people who hope to comfort someone who is grieving. Among the advice is not to impose time limits on how long someone can or will grieve. "You will grieve for that child for the rest of your life," Loder said. "It just gets a little softer and easier to handle. But to expect it to go away after a couple of weeks, a couple of months or even a couple of years is asking way too much."
Also important is mentioning the child by name and being patient with those who grieve and remembering them all on important days like anniversaries and birthdays.
The Associated Press reported that Garrett Reid was sentenced to nearly two years for a 2007 high-speed car crash while he was high on heroin. Andy Reid took a leave of absence that year to spend more time with his family, the article said.

CouchDB with Clojure
IBM developerWorks just published an article I wrote on CouchDB and Clojure. It uses clj-http, Clutch and CouchDB. It aims to cover the REST APIs of CouchDB by way of Clojure, using parallel examples in Clutch and straight HTTP calls using clj-http. It also discusses CouchDB views and replication. Big thanks to Tunde for Clutch, Mark for clj-http, the CouchDB folks and Alex for reviewing the article.
Getting Specific Document Revisions with Clutch 0.2.4
I had intended to get this out last week, but didn't quite make it. On 2/3/2011, version 0.2.4 of Clutch. One of the new features is support for getting a specific revision of a document. The code to do that looks like:
(clutch/get-document document-id {:rev revision-id} #{:rev})
The call to get a specific revision is the same as getting the most recent version except for the two extra paramters to the get-document function. The first is
{:rev revision-id} and is a query-paramter map that Clutch uses when asking CouchDB for the document. In the example above, I'm asking CouchDB for a document with document-id
document-id and a
revision of
revision-id. Typically when sending query paramters to CouchDB, you want to JSON encode them, however there are some special built-in CouchDB paramters (such as revision) that you do not want to encode using JSON. The last argument is
#{:rev}, telling Clutch to not encode the
:rev keypair in the query map. The third argument above can be any function that determines which revision to exclude.
CouchDB 1.0.1
Included in this release is changes needed for the Clojure view server to work with CouchDB 1.0.1 (thanks Tunde!). Previously, attempting to use the Clutch view server with the latest version of CouchDB would result in server side timeouts calling to the Clutch view code. For more information on setting up the Clojure view server see the README.

Baseball-Cardinals beat Dodgers 1-0 for 2-0 NL series lead
Oct 12 (Reuters) - The St. Louis Cardinals beat the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 in another pressure-packed pitchers' duel to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series on Saturday.
After holding the Dodgers scoreless for the last 10 innings of a 3-2, 13-inning win in Friday's opening game, St. Louis stifled them again as rookie starter Michael Wacha and four relievers combined on a five-hit shutout to extend the streak and their lead in the series.
The only run was scored in the fifth inning when David Freese crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly to left by Jon Jay.
Freese led off with a double into the left-field corner and with one out advanced to third on a passed ball by Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis. He scored the unearned run on Jay's fly, well ahead of left fielder Carl Crawford's errant throw.
The Dodgers answered with a serious threat in the top of the sixth, loading the bases with one out. But Wacha rose to the challenge and struck out Yasiel Puig and Juan Uribe to end the inning and the 22-year-old skipped off the mound in delight.
Los Angeles starter Clayton Kershaw was a hard-luck loser, going six innings and allowing just two hits, one unearned run, one walk and five strikeouts.
The Cardinals had only four baserunners, but their pitchers made the meager offense stand up, combining to strike out 13 batters, including the last five Dodgers that came to the plate.
The series shifts to Los Angeles for Game Three scheduled to be played on Monday.

In the past two years, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed in the subprime mortgage/credit crisis. Like any broad category, the subprime-related suits break into subcategories, but one common feature they have is their complexity. Often, the pleadings alone are hundreds of pages.
This complexity means a large amount of electronic information, so sound search and cull strategies have never been more important.
You can cull at collection, after collection, during processing or after loading onto a review platform. Suit yourself. "When" doesn't matter as much as "how," because the volume of electronic data from the structured finance division of an investment bank is the size of a galaxy. You need it the size of a constellation.
Several federal rulings in 2008 state that expert advice should back up keyword searches. Counsel and litigants should develop those search strategies with consultants who know something both about the substantive subject matter, and about the methodology of keyword search testing and refinement.
There isn't one standard off-the-shelf list of searches for all subprime litigation. The lexicon will depend on what subcategory you're in.
The subcategories are not a simple list. Picture a three-dimensional cube with three axes: height, width and depth. The intersection of those axes determines the subcategory and the keywords to use. One axis is the parties. The second axis is the type of proceeding. And the third is the substantive nature of the claims and defenses.
The parties axis requires understanding the players: mortgage originators, real estate appraisers, retail banks, investment banks, commercial banks, bond insurers, bond rating agencies and investors, both institutional and individual.
The type of proceeding relates to the form and statutory basis for the claim. Is it litigation or is it a regulatory investigation? We all know how different the rules are between these two. In the federal- and state-level investigations now under way, it's a given that targeted organizations divulge whatever they're asked for. Then the investigatory agency is challenged with the deluge.
In one recent case, an agency received more than a million electronic documents. The first stab at keywords reduced it to a half million. Several more iterations with some consulting brought it down to 200,000, including 50,000 that would have been previously missed.
Many litigation cases are class actions, alleging violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Others are derivative lawsuits, where shareholders nominally take the reins of the corporation and sue for a right that the corporation could itself sue for, but won't.
If it is a class action, it needs class certification. If it is an action alleging fraud and misrepresentation under the above acts, it will have to survive a motion to dismiss, commonplace since the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the "PSLRA". In both instances, traditional discovery is stayed until these are determined.
And of course, the third dimension is the case's substantive subject matter.
The complaints of the class actions and derivative lawsuits often focus on share value declines, or conversely, artificially high share values at the time of the plaintiffs' purchases, which the plaintiffs allege are the fault of the company and/or its directors and officers because of mismanagement and misrepresentation.
Another issue is the "take it back, it's gone bad" action, where an issuer of a Residential Mortgage-Backed Security is sued to repay what it received for a packaged bundle of subprime mortgages, because of deterioration within a set time limit.
"Gatekeeper" claims are suits against auditors or bond-rating agencies.
For example, the investment adviser's claim: "You advised us to buy these bonds because 'They're backed by residential mortgages. What could go wrong?'" Another unique subcategory involves investors suing their advisors for giving their money to Bernard Madoff.
This list is not exhaustive. Other types of proceedings include ERISA lawsuits or actions for risk misrepresentation by underwriters issuing these collateralized debt obligations.
If an institutional investor sues an investment bank (party axis) in a securities class action (type of proceeding axis) for misrepresentation in offering statements in a CDO bond issuance (substance axis), the keywords list would include words like "super-senior," "tranche," and "grade."
If a mortgage originator is sued in a class action for predatory or discriminatory lending, the list will include words like "FICO," "teaser rate," and "no-docs."
If a non-class investor sues a bond-rating agency for allegedly dressing up garbage as gold, the list might include words like "risk" and "model."
Look what that search might turn up. In 2007, two bond-rating agency analysts engaged in this instant message exchange:
Analyst 1: By the way, that deal is ridiculous
Analyst 2: I know, right. The model definitely doesn't capture half the risk.
Analyst 1: We should not be rating it
Analyst 2: We rate every deal. It could be structured by cows and we would rate it.
Analyst 1: There is a lot of risk associated with it. I personally don't feel comfy signing off as a committee member.
This was read aloud at a congressional hearing in Oct. 2008. On Feb. 18, 2009, it was quoted by a federal judge denying a defendant bond-rating agency's motion to dismiss In re Moody's Corporation Securities Litigation.
The nugget was found in the investigation preceding the early-stage motion to dismiss. A lot of rocks had been turned over by then, long before the "official" discovery stage of litigation.
The PSLRA's pleading standards are beyond our scope here, but they guarantee the first battle in cases where it applies will be a motion to dismiss, with an automatic stay of discovery.
The stay, however, doesn't mean you should hit the snooze button: the complaint, the motion to dismiss and the opposition thereto all require a detailed knowledge of the facts and documents proving them, from internally available sources and external research. This is early case assessment, or "pre-discovery discovery."
To me, more actions now survive the motion to dismiss than they did a few months ago, and this might be the start of a trend. Two decisions in the Central District of California in late 2008–Countrywide and New Century–are notable. Although the rulings' significance lies beyond the scope of this article, it is important to note that, as more motions to dismiss are denied, more of these massive cases will survive to the official discovery stage. Then, the floodgates will truly open.
The cost of resolving all this should not be driven up by unduly broad, unfocused discovery. It has already cost us plenty.

Skip to comments.Atlas 5 Launch at 2:38-4:38pm (EDT); Live Thread
Posted on 05/03/2012 11:32:43 AM PDT by GeorgeWashingtonsGhost
If on the west coast, launch time scheduled for 11:38am-1:38pm
Launch Site: SLC-41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida The United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket will launch the second Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite built by Lockheed Martin. This U.S. military spacecraft will provide highly secure communications.
Secure the High Ground, never cede it to the enemy!
What does this have to do with SpaceX?
I screwed up.. Strike 'SpaceX' from the title. Thanks for the correction. Looks like there's a problem with a valve at the moment. The SpaceX launch is on Monday, May 7.
Moderator, can you please strike 'SpaceX' from the title? Their launch is May 7 not May 3.
" The SpaceX launch is on Monday, May 7. "
From yesterday afternoon —
" SpaceX: Private launch to space station now delayed indefinitely ^"
Which is correct??
Last I heard, the SpaceX launch scheduled for Monday was on indefinite hold.
The Atlas V is the latest incarnation of the magnificent Atlas family, and while it's completely redesigned, what you're looking at still came from the same era when American cars sprouted tailfins...American exceptionalism at work.
I'm getting no audio; is this a see it but not hear it deal?
There is live commentary with large spans of no commentary. It might not go up today as they're considering breaching the rocket to inspect a valve problem.
I'm getting audio OK , they tend to have a lot of dead air, not like the NASA cats that want to hear their own voice...
Thanks, Moderator!
Yeah, that was it.
Sounds like they're about to scrub the launch due to an unfavorable valve overtemp condition.
Except for the main engines, which we buy from Russia and can't yet replicate, although Rocketdyne is working on it. Don't get me wrong, I love the big bird anyway, but some trends are worrisome.
Yup, scrubbed today

HIGH-INTENSITY interval training is so popular that it has its own acronym at a gym near you, HIIT. I'm no exception to the contingents of people who want to get workouts over with, the faster the better.
With research that supports the possibility that superfast, superintense workouts can make you stronger/quicker/healthier, we (OK, I) have even more excuses to cut our workouts short.
Cage Fitness, a high-intensity interval-training method created by a martial-arts fighter, Matt Hughes, appeals to that short-and-quick mentality. The Cage workout lasts just 30 minutes and requires you to work as hard as possible for 5-minute intervals. Five minutes? That's nothing, you say.
I've done my fair share of interval-training workouts. They end quickly; if you're trying hard, they also usually hurt. (Hello, Tabata training.)

In addition to boosting your aerobic capacity, the trainers say, the combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise increases your metabolism.
I went to MKG Martial Arts in Seattle to check out a Cage Fitness class. The 5-minute intervals are made up of 30-second bursts of different exercises one after the other. At the end, you get a one-minute break, then start a new set. The idea is to work on basic moves for strength training, and doing them as hard and fast as possible.
Cage uses body bags (25 or 50 pounds) for strength training and for straight-up abuse during a technique called ground 'n' pound, when students can go nuts on the bag, punching, elbowing and rolling over with the bag to hit it some more. Need to get some aggression out? This is the class for you.
Cage classes always include a warm-up, upper- and lower-body work, a combo round and core/cool down.
I sat this class out and watched as teacher Nicole Marinez took the class through some fairly intense warm-ups, such as scooting around the body bag in plank position and running in place in plank.
After the warm-up and a one-minute break, she took the class into upper body, encouraging them through pushups, biceps curls with the bags, and grabbing the bag by side handles to row with it as resistance.
In the third round, they moved to the lower body, incorporating lunges, long jumps and some intense strengthening, sitting up on their knees and leaning back while holding the bag.
She had other entertaining exercises, like a pushup bag flip, where students drop down to a pushup, get back up and flip the bag, essentially a mega-hard burpee.
This round also was the one time I wanted to jump in: slammers. Students looked fierce as they lifted the bags above their heads and slammed them on the ground.
The "cool-down" was mostly more core work, including sitting in a V and twisting the body bag side to side. Some students had to abandon their body bag at this point.
Thirty minutes may not seem long, but it was effective; students were dripping sweat and panting by the end of class.
If you're going to bring some interval training into your life, Cage is a speedy way to go. You're in, you get your heart rate up, you pound out your stress, you're out. Perfect.

Hopefully the collection company will remove the account from your reports since they got your payment, but unfortunately that is not generally the case. Usually simply paying a collection will just get it marked as a paid collection on your reports and that does little to help your credit. A paid collection is scored the same as an unpaid collection with FICO. What you should have done was to attempt a "pay for delete agreement" prior to paying the bill. Since you have already paid it, wait and see if the collection company removes it once the payment has been processed (usually within a month). If they do not remove it, then learn how to write a "Goodwill Letter" to send to them to request that they kindly remove the account from your reports. A paid collection does look better under manual review of your credit report and it does prevent you from being sued for the debt, so you did do the right thing by paying it, you just could have went about it in a better way. It always pays to do your homework first, make sure you do some reading or ask some questions on here before you take any other action with your credit reports.

Russian Blue Breed Profile
Russian Blue history Russian Blue appearance Russian Blue temperament Choosing a Russian Blue Caring for a Russian Blue Lifespan
Russian Blue at a glance
|Good with dogs
History of the Russian Blue
Although most of the Russian Blue's early history is unknown, it is believed that British sailors who worked on board merchant vessels would bring blue cats to England in their travels from the shore of the White Sea, Arkhangelsk, therefore in earlier days they were called Archangel Cat.
They were recognised to be an attractive cat and were shown in a class which included similar Blue Shorthair cats. In the late 1800's they became a recognised breed with the Governing Cat Council and were classed as the Russian Blue.
Appearance of the Russian Blue
The Russian is an exquisite looking cat with a plush double coat shimmering with silver highlights, their sleek appearance and mischievous emerald green eyes.
They have prominent whisker pads and should almost appear as if they are smiling. Their nose leather and paw pads are soft and lilac in colour. The green eyes are almond shaped and set wide apart. The ears are large, wide at the base and set high on the head.
The body is a medium size and well muscled. The legs are long and slender with oval paws.
Temperament of the Russian Blue
Image Ki Choquette, Flickr
The Russian Blue has an exceptional temperament and is very devoted to their owners. They love to follow you from room to room brushing up against your leg. They have an inquisitive nature and can often be seen sitting closely observing you wash the dishes, attempting to play with the water. They are a quietly spoken cat with a very soft voice, however, they love to communicate in whichever way they can. The Russian is well suited to an indoor lifestyle as they are not a highly active cat.
The get along with children and make a great family pet.
Choosing a Russian Blue
When purchasing a purebred cat, always choose a registered cat breeder. That means they are affiliated with one of the cat councils and must abide to their code of ethics.
I prefer to choose a breeder who raises their cats under foot, otherwise known as indoors, where they will receive plenty of attention and grow up familiar with day to day household bustle.
When selecting a kitten, look for signs of good health. The eyes should be bright and free of discharge, the ears clean with no odour, and there should be no nasal discharge. The kitten should be curious, energetic and friendly.
Your Russian Blue should not leave home until he is at least 12 weeks of age and received 2 of his 3 kitten vaccinations.
Keep all records of discussions with the breeder and make sure guarantees are in writing.
Caring for your Russian Blue
This breed is fairly low-maintenance. All cats can benefit from a weekly groom to remove loose hairs. Nails should be trimmed every few weeks for indoor only cats.
Feed a good-quality diet, preferably not one which contains large amounts of dry food (kibble). Raw chicken necks or chunks of steak are recommended twice a week to keep their teeth in good condition.
Russian Blue health
The Russian Blue is a generally healthy cat with no predilection to any health conditions.
The Russian Blue lives between 12-16 years.

TCP_NODELAY is currently set false by default. This leads to synchronous commands such as ExecutionSync or TxCommit taking a potentially very long amount of time (~30-40ms observed), which cripples transactional performance, causes consumer creation to take a long time, and generally impedes performance of messaging patterns such as request-response.
Whilst this change could perhaps cause some falloff in out-the-box peak throughput in situations such as NoAck mode, the observed performance increases in a variety of other situations such as the above is too large (anything from 10% to 1000%, yes 10x throughput, has been observed in select tests) to ignore for our general out-the-box configuration.

Hannah Montana director Peter Chelsom recently compared Miley Cyrus to Hollywood icon Judy Garland, stating that he was "blown away" the first time he saw the pop star perform. Wow.
Peter Chelsom is claiming that he saw Miley's talent long before he worked with her on the Hannah Montana feature film. Chelsom supposedly saw unlimited potential when Cyrus performed on Oprah Winfrey's daily talk show in November of 2007:
"I was blown away," he said. "I just thought, you know there is no way this girl shouldn't be ranked with Shirley Temple or Judy Garland." Later, Cyrus insisted he come see her in concert in Miami. "I couldn't believe it," he remembered. "It was like watching an evening with Barbra Streisand."
If that wasn't enough, Chelsom also pointed out that Miley was only "15 for the whole making of the [Hannah Montana] movie." When asked if Barbra Streisand was doing that at the age of 15, he stated, "I don't think so."
This guy is really trying to sell some movie tickets.

Apple have been astoundingly successful in a single area: Marketing their brand. They are taking existing innovations and repackaging them then marketing them as novel ideas.
this is about a tech company that pushes the whole industry. It seems other companies right now have nothing to compete fairly with and have resorted to basically copying and stealing.
All companies in the tech arena are going to be copying other company innovations and putting heir own spin on them. It's sort of taken for granted that companies will take an existing idea and make it better or more durable or with more added features.
If Apple existed in the stone age they would take a wheel, produce it in a new colour and pretend they invented it.
There is nothing wrong with competition, its healthy but should be from innovation not stealing.
Does using child labour and slave labour count as stealing?
What Apple right now are doing and have been doing for decades is shaping the future of tech.
No they haven't. They have been aggressively marketing their products as lifestyle choices. Like the iPhone 4S debacle - no innovation at all. A slightly better camera and a slightly better screen, and still you get people lined up for it because they have fallen for the marketing.

Just a follow up to my piece today. Much has been said that this is a huge opportunity for the Right, and for the president to extinguish a debt owed to them. It seems to me, however, that this isn't an opportunity to gain all much ground by the Right. Yes, the conservative bloc might pick up a vote on Roe if the president plays his hand right, but judging by his recent embrace the reasoning of Casey (the passage that Justice Scalia called the "sweet mystery of life" dictum — establishing a right to define one's place in the cosmos) in the homosexual sodomy case, Lawrence v. Texas, Justice Kennedy isn't going anywhere on Roe. So there are still 5 solid votes for Roe on this Court. For the left-wing nuts to be screaming that "a woman's right to choose" hangs in the balance is a baldface lie, and they know it. But they can raise more money with that sort of overheated rhetoric. In reality, the Left realizes that this is their opportunity, not the Right's. Even if the president gets this decision right, at best, Anthony Kennedy (gulp) becomes the crucial swing vote on just about every major issue facing the Court: homosexual marriage, reasonable regulations on abortion, religion in American life, the role of foreign law in American law, etc. Making Justice Kennedy the fulcrum of this Court may send shivers down the spines of many a conservative. So before everyone gets excited about the opportunity, think long and hard about the consequences of a mistake here. In the last several terms, Justice O'Connor voted more with Chief Justice Rehnquist than with any other Justice. So it is a bit of a misstatement to say that her seat is so much more important to gaining ground for the conservatives than his. The president has to get this right just to preserve the middle ground that O'Connor at times pulled back from the liberals on the Court. If he gets it wrong, things could be lost for a long time.
Whose Opportunity Is This Anyway?
