In the December 27 edition of The Indianapolis Star, Robert H. Heidt, who teaches law at Indiana University in Bloomington and has sat on the school's admissions committee, blows the whistle on discrimination there. He reveals that "we at Bloomington enforce a de facto quota of the minimum number of blacks and other minorities we are determined to enroll in each first-year law school class" and that, in order to meet the quota, "we regularly lower our usual standards of admission"—indeed, "of all the law schools in the country approved by the American Bar Association, none regularly lowers its standards of admission for affirmative action purposes as much as we do." As a result, "we must leapfrog less qualified minority applicants over approximately 330 more qualified non-minority applicants each year." Professor Heidt also discloses that the university "follow[s] a similarly heavy-handed affirmative action policy for financial aid and faculty recruitment."
The kind of discrimination that Professor Heidt describes is not unusual. It is, of course, the norm, as studies by the Center for Equal Opportunity over the past several years have documented in undergraduate, medical school, and law school admissions. What is unusual is a university official willing to shine a spotlight on this shameful practice. Hats off to Professor Heidt.

Gordon Murray T.27 unveiled; Zytek provides more details on 25 kW EV powertrain
29 June 2011

At an event held at the Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall, London Gordon Murray Design unveiled its latest ultra-compact electric city vehicle, the T.27 (earlier post), along with the updated specification and performance targets for the car.
In parallel with the announcement of the completion of the Gordon Murray Design T.27 electric vehicle program, Zytek released more details regarding the electric drivetrain developed for use in this lightweight vehicle.
T.27 The design and development program for the T.27 was a £9-million (US$14.4 million) project, made possible through a £4.5-million (US$7.2-million) investment from the government-backed Technology Strategy Board. The program took only 17 months, including the design and build of a completely new electric powertrain by Zytek Automotive Ltd, one of the consortium partners.

T.27 specifically targets the urban city environment via a novel manufacturing process (iStream, earlier post) developed by consortium lead partner Gordon Murray Design, it aims to significantly reduce lifecycle impacts and enable low cost, efficient manufacture within the UK. The partners say the electric car sets new standards in weight, footprint, small car dynamics, safety, packaging and efficiency whilst addressing full lifecycle CO2 emissions, congestion, parking and low-cost motoring.
The lightweight iFrame geometry in the T.27 allowed every aspect of the vehicle to be optimized including Zytek Automotive's integrated powertrain.
Gordon Murray Design recently achieved first class results in a second crash test on the vehicle—the EuroNCAP 50 km/h mobile deformable barrier (MDB) protocol, confirming the structural integrity of an iStream manufactured chassis during a side impact.
The T.27 features lower energy consumption per mile that other EVs: the Smart EV uses 29% more energy per km, the Mitsubishi iMiEV uses 36% more energy per km, and the Mini-E uses 86% more energy per km, according to the partners.
I must congratulate Gordon Murray Design and their partners for developing the T.27 prototype – and in rapid time. The growing pressure for more environmentally friendly transport, from both customers and regulators, is creating new business opportunities in the fast-developing market for low carbon vehicles. The Technology Strategy Board exists to help drive dynamic technological innovations such as the T.27, which are key to meeting our climate change goals.—Iain Gray, Chief Executive of the Technology Strategy Board
Gordon Murray Design is currently talking to three possible manufacturers for T.27. The car will make its public road debut at the RAC Future Car Challenge on 5 November 2011.
Zytek 25 kW powertrain and battery pack. Partially supported by a £1.5-million (US$2.4-million) investment by the UK Technology Strategy Board, Zytek's goal was to develop a highly compact, power-dense drivetrain available for use in lightweight, low-cost electric vehicles. Zytek was responsible for all aspects of the design and manufacture of the complete drive system, including motor, inverter, battery, in addition to working very closely with the gearbox supplier Vocis.
Minimizing the torque requirement of the motor (to allow it to be smaller, lighter and more efficient) while maintaining vehicle performance, requires a high motor speed. Zytek analyzed a wide variety of motor topologies and designs using 2D and 3D simulation tools, leading to a reliable maximum motor speed of 14,500 rpm. This high operating speed allowed motor torque to be reduced to 64 N·m (47 lb-ft) while maintaining vehicle based performance targets.
The peak motor power of 25 kW (available for 30 seconds) means vehicle performance is maintained in all expected usage conditions.
The second major powertrain component is the three-phase inverter. Zytek concluded that the inverter should also combine battery charging and high-voltage switching capabilities. This has the added benefit of reducing the weight of high-current copper cable and also avoiding any reliability issues associated with use of high voltage connectors.
Zytek produced the first working prototype systems after six months. This design underwent a highly accelerated dyno-based development and durability exercise, feeding into a second stage design which has been installed on the launch version of the Gordon Murray Design T.27 electric vehicle.
In addition to weight reduction, Zytek emphasized powertrain system efficiency, with the goal of maintaining an air-cooled topology for the motor, inverter and battery. This further reduces vehicle weight and brings with it added advantages in powertrain packaging flexibility.
The total weight of the motor, inverter and gearbox is less than 50 kg (110 lbs), approximately 45% of that of a comparative, current production, water-cooled drivetrain with its associated radiator, cooling fluid, pumps etc. This light weight contributes to the low overall vehicle weight while the highly compact size means that luggage space can be increased compared to the regular internal combustion engined vehicle.
Added benefits from the highly compact electric drivetrain mean that as less material is used in the manufacture of the electric machine, the carbon footprint associated with the manufacture of each drive is very low. The close relationship with Vocis, and the tight integration of their high-efficiency, light-weight EV gearbox allowed significant optimization of both the motor and the transmission.
The second iteration of drivetrain design also saw the introduction of Zytek's first Li-ion battery pack. Following 12 months spent selecting a suitable Li-ion cell design, CFD analysis of multiple cooling system options, design of a new pouch cell frame incorporating cooling channels and the design of a new Battery Management System, Zytek has manufactured a highly optimized, lightweight high-voltage electric vehicle battery pack.
This pack has undergone testing to ensure its safety in this prototype application, including a variety of cell, module and battery tests. These tests have assessed thermal characteristics, plus cell performance under extremes of electrical and mechanical abuse.
With low vehicle weight being a primary project target, every effort was taken to design and integrate the battery into the vehicle, and as such a single structure has been used, improving on the more traditional "box within a box" approach, Zytek said. This yielded a total battery weight of 129 kg (284 lbs).
The battery capacity of 12.1 kWh, coupled with the lightweight vehicle and powertrain design, has exceeded range targets, giving more than 100 miles over the New European Drive Cycle (limited to 100 km/h), and up to 130 miles over the urban European Drive Cycle (ECE15).
Zytek has designed and integrated electric drive systems for a wide range of European and US vehicle manufacturers and is currently building high-performance electric drivetrains up to 70 kW and 300 N·m for cars, buses and light commercial vehicles. Their UK facility can accommodate up to 6,000 E-Drive integrations a year in batches as low as 100. Zytek can also manufacture up to around 18,000 high efficiency electric traction motors each year, with the option of integrated control systems to further improve overall system weight and packaging.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Gordon Murray T.27 unveiled; Zytek provides more details on 25 kW EV powertrain:
The 'more things change, the more they remain the same'.
The performance specs are virtually the same as the original early 1930's VB bug. Even the EV power train weight(w/battery) is slightly less(ICE + gas tank/exhaust/..), with EV maintenance much less.
VW managed to sell some 'bugs', even decades later(try tens of millions).
Zytek should chassis this(Q&D old GEO Metro frames/body molds if necessary) and stamp these babies out(~$10k in mass?).
The EV 100 mi. vs 400 mi. chrg/tank range would be only convenience difference. In a world over 50% urban, it's easier to find electricity than afford gas gouging.
If they put these motors in motorwheels (with no transmission) they would save even more weight.
The optimum motor speed (14,500 rpm) would give about 2000 mph on a small wheel/tire (more weight savings).
Ultimatly the car would weigh nothing and, though it would be a little fast for most cities, intercity travel would be really quick.

You had to admit yesterday was a pretty weird day. First you're talking to Applejack, then you're knocked out can't remember why, next Rarity is taking care of you, and finally kisses you. These ponies culture must be very different from what you're use to. But hopefully today will be better, you had planned to spend the day with Fluttershy, you hadn't seen her all week. You supposed it's because she is still shy to be around people she don't know. Or rather in a different world being cared by a different species that never existed in her world.
From what you understood, she was caretaker on her planet, but she cared for animals, and tended to live by herself. Almost sounded like you, the whole living alone part at least. You two didn't really connect well at first; she kept running away from you as well as hiding her face however way she could. You had to admit, the way she hid her hair made her look cuter, you never thought a girl that hide her behind hair would make her cute. Maybe it was the sounds she would make every time she got scared.
You began to get ready to start the day, as you begin to head out you meet up with Rarity and Pinkie, asking them if they knew where Fluttershy was. They both were too occupied with your television to tell you, as they pointed outside. You begin to step outside, to see Rainbow Dash and Applejack hoof wrestling to see who the strongest is. In your opinion both were evenly match. Not too far away from them, Twilight was taking notes on some nearby plants growing, thinking she had the best answer to your question you walked over to ask where Fluttershy could be. Twilight being the smart one of the six, told you exactly how to get to her. You didn't really need all the extra info but you decided to listen either way.
You started to make your way to edge of the forest; Twilight had said Fluttershy had ventured inside to look for some animals to be with. Which would make sense since Fluttershy was quite one with nature. You couldn't help but imagine her as being sort of a hippie. Maybe she was back in her world, or maybe everyone there is like that, considering they were all magical ponies that can talk, must be a very low number of carnivores there.
Once you had passed some trees and climbed over wild growth you finally hear Fluttershy's voice, so soft. "There you go little one, it took me some time to find it, but here are the fruits you wanted." You were guessing she was talking to one of the animals that lived here. You began to move slowly as not to disturb whatever was happening. Until finally you were able to spy the yellow and pink pesgasus. She seemed so calm being at peace with her animals. "Hello Anon, my woodland friends told me you were here." She begins to stand up and look at you.
At first you can tell right away she was covered in dirt, concerned you walk over to her to clean her up. She gently pushes you away, "Sorry Anon, but I'm just keep getting dirty, no point in cleaning now just to clean up again later." Understanding what she meant, you left it at that, though you still wondered why she was covered in dirt for. "Is something wrong Anon?" Her eyes on you, not paying attention to the gathering animals. You simply point at her. "Oh the dirt? It's a long story really. I heard a squirrel calling for help, and when I got here, I found its tail was caught underneath a log, and no one was around to help, the poor fella couldn't move. And I wasn't going to stand by as it starved to death. You know what I mean right Anon?"
At this point, her eyes began to well up to tears as she began to cry, and soon most of the animals began to crowd around her trying to comfort her, some even began to growl at you having brought up bad memories. "It's okay little ones, Mama's fine, really. Anon is a friend." Soon enough the animals backed off giving you two room again, But from your own knowledge you can't say you've been in that kind of situation before.
You shake your head no. A small gasp escapes her, "Oh my really? Didn't you have any friends?" Both of you had realized what she had said, you weren't really offended by it but she clearly thought that was mean of her. "Oh my, I'm sorry, that was rude of me, and I shouldn't have said that, everyone has friends. I mean even I have friends and I never thought I would." She looks down at the ground. Ashamed of what she had said. You simply walk over to her and hug her hoping to calm her down, which seems like it was working.
You can feel her head lift up as she gently places it on your shoulder next to your head. And something you didn't expect, as she wrapped her wings around you. They were soft and gentle like a mother's touch, it felt comforting. You haven't felt this way in the longest time, it was such a wonderful feeling, and you couldn't help but cry a few tears. "Shh, it's alright Anon, everything is fine." She begins to rub one of her fore hooves on your back. Both of you sat there for a couple of minutes as the animals watched, some even cried at having seen a rare moment.
"Feel better Anon? I hope you do." You look at her, with a big smile on your face and nod your head. Today was going to be a good day. "Good, I'm glad; would you like to walk with me through the forest a bit?" Again you simply nod your head. She nuzzles you softly on the cheek and gives a light peek. Full blush on her face, she turns around a picks up a basket with her wing before you two started your walk.

Wise winemakers withhold judgment about a harvest's quality until the last grape has been picked, crushed and fermented. In a cool climate such as Ontario's, where fruit needs ample sun exposure to ripen fully, they can be biting their nails until December. That seems the likely scenario this year, with the province's slow, cool, rainy start demanding serious catch-up.
But often the picture doesn't come fully into focus until months or even a couple of years later as wines emerge from tank or barrel to make their way to market. For consumers, it can get confusing. If you like to play the numbers, permit me to summarize: The 2010 and 2012 vintages are proving to be two of the finest in recent memory, both well-represented on shelves today. I am including some examples in this roundup of recent Ontario releases.
Flat Rock Nadja's Vineyard Riesling 2012 (Niagara)
Score: 91 Price: $19.95
Keep your eye on Ontario riesling from 2012, a superb vintage for the variety. Here is a case in point. Light-bodied and essentially dry, this white shows a rounded, vaguely sweet mid-palate before the acidity kicks in to freshen things up. The flavours hint at tinned peach and apricot with lemon juice and tart apple. It's silky, long and delectable.
Jackson-Triggs Entourage Grand Reserve Brut 2009 (Niagara)
Score: 90 Price: $22.95
This is complex bubbly at a fetching price. Very dry and subtly toasty, with ample weight and a moderately chalky texture, it leads with flavours of tart apple followed by a hint of rounded sweetness suggesting lemon-custard pastry with a drizzle of honey.
Henry of Pelham Cuvée Catharine Estate Blanc de Blanc Carte Blanche 2007 (Niagara)
Score: 90 Price: $44.95
An Ontario leader in Champagne-method sparkling wine, Henry of Pelham recently introduced this super-premium edition of its Cuvée Catharine lineup. It's a vintage-dated white based entirely on chardonnay and spent 54 months maturing in bottle in contact with spent yeast cells before being disgorged – far longer than most Champagnes. That extended "lees" contact produced the sort of creamy, toasty, bread-like character associated with the best Champagnes. It is bone-dry and chalky, with good tension and length.
Sue-Ann Staff Merlot 2010 (Niagara)
Score: 89 Price: $17.95
Staff boasts deeper roots than most winemakers in the Canadian industry. She comes from a family that has been growing grapes for five generations. And she worked at a couple of wineries, notably Pillitteri, before launching this eponymous brand from her family's estate in Jordan. (She's also the talented wine master behind Megalomaniac, another excellent Niagara estate.) This is smooth yet lively merlot, medium-full-bodied and plummy, with good ripeness, juicy acidity and a dusting of unintimidating, fine-grained tannins for grip and structure.
Cooper's Hawk Cabernet Franc Reserve 2010 (Lake Erie North Shore)
Score: 89 Price: $39.95
The warm 2010 growing season is conspicuous in this cabernet franc, a variety that can exhibit strong herbaceous flavours in a cool climate. No bell pepper here. It's full-bodied, with a luscious core of blackberry, currant and cherry candy. There is impressive weight in the mid-palate and a satisfying tannic tug on the finish. Pricey? Yes, it's that, too, unfortunately.
The Foreign Affair The Conspiracy 2011 (Niagara)
Score: 89 Price: $19.95
There is greater flavour depth in this blend of late-ripening cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc than might be expected from the 2011 vintage, which saw a rainy harvest season. That is due, in part, to a special winemaking technique known as ripasso. Dried grape skins left over from previously fermented wine batches were added to the fermenting vat to feed yeast and generate higher alcohol, tannins and glycerin. The result is a full-bodied red with rich berry, chocolate and coffee flavours. It is all kept lively by juicy acidity.
The Organized Crime Pipe Down 2011 (Niagara)
Score: 88 Price: $22.20
Mainly a mix of cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc, this red tastes like a checklist of classic varietal characters: cassis, mint, black olive and spices. It's pleasantly lively, with light, dusty tannins.
Vintage Ink Mark of Passion Merlot Cabernet 2010 (Niagara)
Score: 87 Price: $17.95
Smooth merlot leads the way in this medium-full-bodied red, which hints at plum and raspberry. It is refreshingly counterbalanced by juicy acidity and light spice.

Baby JJ murder accused called toddler 'it', court hear
Loffley wanted JJ out of the way – Crown
Now here's something you don't hear every day on BB. A judge who knows how to treat child abusers/killers! With the contempt and disgust that they deserve!
Joel Loffley, of Orakei NZ, is an impacted anal gland who should be pecked to death by vultures. He beat his girlfriend's toddler son so hard that his liver and pancreas were smooshed up against his spine and split in two. Paramedics said that the injuries caused by the scumbag were "non-survivable".
The dripping dick invaded little JJ's life back in 2011, in the form of the birth vessel Josephine Lawrence's c***-plug. While he was "caring" for the little boy, JJ suffered two broken arms – with one of them left for days because his birthing unit was too drunk to take him to the hospital! Jesus fucking Christ!! By the time JJ got his angel wings, he'd already suffered 32 injuries, including the broken arms :'( Poor baby! He had also been tortured by the infected anal abscess, including being forced to smoke pot from an asthma inhaler (wow, another cure for asthma!) and being "played with roughly".
The day he died, JJ was visibly terrified of his incubator's sex toy and didn't want to be left alone with him when the incubator went to sort out a bank overdraft. He tried to follow her to the car. Oh, that image just breaks my heart (and I have a heart of stone!). The dripping dispenser of douchegunk insisted that JJ should stay behind, stating "Leave that boy with me. That boy is mine". Um no he wasn't, you dick canoe. No one would want to come from your damaged DNA.
When the birth vessel came back from her faffing-around, she found JJ crouched in the shower crying. Her snatch-filler told her that JJ had "fallen off the bed and hit his head" Yeah, like we haven't heard that one before *rolls eyes*. After the demonic dildo beat him, he put little JJ in bed and left him there. And that's where he died. The birth vessel was unaware (or maybe just didn't care) of how much distress JJ was in, and she went into her room to watch a movie. A fucking movie. Not tending to her child, not destroying the plug-piece that hurt her baby. She watched a fucking movie. It wasn't until the next morning that the puny penis called an ambulance. And when the ambos got there and found that JJ was dead, the dickweed sauntered in and nonchalantly asked, "So is he dead now?" Like he was asking if dinner was ready.
Photos taken of the crime scene show what little worldly possessions JJ had. His bed was just a base with no mattress, his little clothes scattered on top. He had suffered so much in his short little life, and his ignorant complacent birth vessel had allowed him to be treated like this. Be subjected to the misery of being around the diseased dick. The incubator wasn't safe from her syphilitic sex toy either. He threatened to give her a "hiding" if she didn't do what she was told. On her birthday, he elbowed her in the face. Yet, she stayed and allowed her child to be abused by her pustulent penis. What a foul and wicked wench. Someone should c***-punt her so hard that her uterus splits in two, and that her ova become scrambled eggs!
Police intercepted calls between the incubator and the impacted anal gland where the festering arse-boil blamed the birth vessel and suggested that she may have hit JJ with a bladed instrument. Hmmm wow, how did he know it was a "bladed instrument"? There was a machete that was in the bedroom which belonged to….the rotted dildo!
The rotting infected anal gland had the hide to plead "not guilty" to murdering little JJ and says that he "regrets not doing more to protect the child". Are you fucking kidding me? He beat JJ to death, didn't give a shit about whether he lived or died and then pretends to act remorseful and regretful about his murder? This guy is a fucking psychopath! Only cares about himself and tries to say all the right things to get himself out of trouble. Luckily the judge saw through that dirty pack of lies, and tossed the rotten piece of swinging meat in the slammer for a life sentence, with a non-parole period of 19 years. He will never qualify for parole if he's unlucky enough to not be beaten to death by the fellow inmates first. Word gets out around the old jailhouse, and the festering snatch-warmer might just find his liver and pancreas split in half too…after his arsehole is split in half from the big Maori dicks in there.
Some further research says that the disgusting dildo admitted to beating JJ because….he wanted him out of the way! The most common reason for invading parasites to kill their partner's offspring. Yes, the incubator was knocked up with the rotten dick's baby, and he wanted JJ out of the way for when his own child arrived. A male, taking over the pride, finds offspring not related to him. So he kills him, to ensure that his own damaged DNA can mutate and sin against nature, and so that he doesn't have to provide for offspring that doesn't belong to him. Just like a fucking wild animal. Well the dildo's plan isn't going to work. The incubator isn't likely to keep a jailbird's baby and if she has any sense whatsoever, she'll either give the baby up for adoption, or have an abortion to rid her body of the dripping dick's mutant DNA.

November Jazz Concerts Heat Up at the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning
Summer has turned into fall, but the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning turns up the heat in November with jazz concerts featuring two exciting and unique women.
On November 4, spend an evening with Grammy-nominated Carla Cook, a daring jazz singer/songwriter. Cook sings standards beautifully, but she doesn't stop there. Cook reinterprets songs from the rock and R & B world - giving jazz flavor to such pop classics as Simon & Garfunkel's Scarborough Fair, Marvin Gaye's Inner City Blues and Neil Young's Heart of Gold.
On November 18, join Carol Sudhalter as she presents "Women Composers of Queens." Sudhalter culminates her extensive research of legendary and newly discovered female composers from Queens, NY, such as Emme Kemp, Julie Mandel and Jutta Hipp. Honorary invited guests will include several composers. The concerts are part of JCAL's Liner Notes Jazz Series.
"These two women have been chosen as part of our line-up because of their willingness to uncover a new realm in old music," said JCAL Project Manager April Peters, producer of Liner Notes. "Carol will uniquely present the brilliant works of women composers of Queens from the past and present. Carla will use her awe-inspiring voice to reinterpret familiar standards."
The Liner Notes Jazz Series, a spontaneous, adventurous and joyful mini-jazz series, runs October - December and highlights some of the area's most innovative and talented jazz musicians in an intimate and soulful setting. Performances are from 7 9 pm at JCAL, 161-04 Jamaica Avenue. Tickets are $10 ($5 with student ID). For more information, visit www.jcal.org or call 718-658-7400 ext. 152.
The Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning is housed in a landmark building owned by the City of New York and funded with public
funds provided through the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency; the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs
with support from Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg; Cultural Affairs Commissioner Kate D. Levin; the New York City Council; Council
Speaker Gifford Miller; the Queens Delegation of the Council; Majority Whip, Councilman Leroy Comrie; and Queens Borough
President Helen M. Marshall.

Earlier today, Current TV announced that former MSNBC host Cenk Uygur would be bringing his web series "The Young Turks" to the channel. In a interview this afternoon, Uygur said the move was something of a no-brainer:
"It was the most obvious thing in the world," Uygur told TVNewser. "They are independent, so I knew we wouldn't have some of the issues we had in other places, and they are clearly progressive."
Uygur also says that serving as Current's primetime kickoff show is a good place to be:
"I am happy to be at 7 o clock because there is no other progressive at 7 o clock on television, so it kind of leaves the field to me," he says
Fox News has Shepard Smith at 7 PM, CNN will soon launch Erin Burnett in that timeslot, and MSNBC has a replay of the apparently-not progressive "Hardball with Chris Matthews" there.
For Current, the addition of Uygur helps fill-out a lineup that had a centerpiece in the form of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," but had limited elements to go along with it. Among Current's existing programming, the closest thing to a public affairs show is the documentary series "Vanguard," but it has a dramatically different tone and pacing than commentary programming like "Countdown and "The Young Turks."
"We thought his show on MSNBC was great, and even more importantly we thought what he had achieved with the Young Turks online was sensational," Current CEO Joel Hyatt told TVNewser.
"[The addition of Uygur] is a signal that this is a network with people that have significant and serious things to say, and they are not going to be all alike," Current's President David Bohrman says. "There are going to be different personalities, different programs that suit those personalities, and I think it will be a great evening's worth of television watching."
The next step is adding a 9 PM program, which Current seems to be close to announcing, although no firm details were available. The 9 PM slot will be filled by January, at which point network execs will turn their focus to the rest of the dayparts.
"We are aggressively moving toward being 24/7 as a political commentary, news analysis network, but we still have a lot of work to do to get there," Hyatt says. "We will then expand from [primetime] into what we think are some very innovative and compelling ideas that we have for daytime. But it will all be political commentary, news analysis and progressive point of view."
The 2012 election will become a lynchpin of Current's strategy.
"We have got to catch the election wave," Bohrman says. "We want to get as many new programs up and running during the election year as we can."
Uygur expects the election to play a large role in his new show, which he stresses will look a lot like the web series of the same name.
"They will have some some distinctions, for example there will be more guests on the television show—we kind of wanted to make it a gathering place for progressives—but the tone will be the same, and we will have just as much fun and be just as aggressive," Uygur says.
As for guests, Uygur expects many progressive favorites like Sam Seder and Glenn Greenwald to appear, though he says it is too early to say if he would be able to secure any big "Gets."
"If president Obama would like to come on, we would accept," Uygur quipped.

A blueprint for a national leadership movement to transform the way the public thinks about giving.
Virtually everything our society has been taught about charity is backwards. We deny the social sector the ability to grow because of our short-sighted demand that it send every short-term dollar into direct services. Yet if the sector cannot grow, it can never match the scale of our great social problems. In the face of this dilemma, the sector has remained silent, defenseless, and disorganized. In Charity Case, Pallotta proposes a visionary solution: a Charity Defense Council to re-educate the public and give charities the freedom they need to solve our most pressing social issues.
Grounded in Pallotta's clear vision and deep social sector experience, Charity Case is a fascinating wake-up call for fixing the culture that thwarts our charities' ability to change the world.

A conversation that has been a long time in commuting. We are starting to see change but so much more is still ahead. Let's inspire everyone in our communities and the government to make change happen and let the good work of humanitarian organizations make our neighborhoods, country and the world a better place. Let's all be a part of that change!
"Everybody who works in social profit should read this"
As someone who works in the social profit sector and constantly hears comparisons to the regular business sector (a la 'Why don't you do it this way?' by people who don't understand why not), Charity Case was a breath of fresh air. I have already recommended it to several coworkers and have forwarded them information about the Charity Defense Council. This should be required reading for anyone who works in the social profit sector.

OTTAWA—Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has good news for Canadians aged 57 and older — you won't be hit by looming changes to Canada's Old Age Security program.
Flaherty, 62, said Friday that changes under consideration won't likely take effect for at least eight years, ensuring that those approaching retirement in the short-term won't be affected.
Flaherty made the comment to reporters during a visit to Oshawa with local Conservative MP Colin Carrie, 49. He had been asked whether Canadians could expect the federal budget, due in March, would contain changes to the OAS program, as the government has been hinting at in recent weeks.
"We cannot ignore the fact that we have an aging population in Canada and we want to ensure sustainability over the long term of our important social programs," Flaherty said.
"The timing of what we do will involve more than one budget and we will . . . announce some steps forward, but we certainly need to plan ahead," he said.
"This is not for tomorrow morning. This is for 2020, 2025 so that people who are middle age and younger today, like Colin, not me, can be assured that they will have these social programs properly funded, fiscally responsible, that they'll be there for them in the future," he said.
Flaherty's comments on Friday mark the first time the government has put a potential timeframe on the possible changes. However, an aide said later the minister was simply trying to make the point that any proposed changes won't happen overnight.
The Conservatives have faced stiff criticism from opposition MPs who question why Harper didn't mention the proposed change in last spring's election. And Liberals and New Democrats have been warning that any changes to Old Age Security – which pays on average $6,096 a year—could hurt poor seniors the hardest.
"It is bad enough that the prime minister is prepared to hurt low income seniors by raising the OAS age, but why did he not tell them the truth about his plan during the election," Liberal MP Scott Brison said Friday in question period, accusing the Tories of "faking a crisis."
She said those collecting OAS now or nearing retirement will "not lose a penny'' because of any changes but was offering no promises to younger Canadians.
"We have a responsibility to Canadians to ensure the viability of the system for the future," Finley said.

À propos de moi
Be extremelly happy as long as possible! Meet new people and places and keep dancing till the end of days!
Cuando me deprimo se me van las ganas de tomar mate. No hay explicación, me pasa.
Se me estresa el dedo de la ruedita del mouse bastante seguido.
Me gustan los teclados que no hacen ruido cuando escribís.
Cuando comparto una canción en Facebook, siempre tengo que decir algo; si es parte de la letra, mejor.
Nunca creí en que una imagen siempre puede valer más que mil palabras.
Casi todas las canciones de mi Grooveshark están marcadas como favoritas.
When I'm blue, I can't drink mate. There's no explanation, it just happen.
My mouse ball finger gets stress pretty often.
I like keyboards with no sound when I type.
When I share a song in Facebook, I always have to write something; it's better if it's a fragment of the lyrics.
I never believed that one image worth a thousand words.
Almost all the songs in my Grooveshark account are marked as favourites.
Some things that came to my mind right now... I will probably be changing this section of my profile quite often until I find the right phrase...
"Life is a box of chocolats, Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get" (from the movie Forrest Gump)
"You grieve, you learn. You choke, you learn. You laugh, you learn. You choose, you learn. You pray, you learn. You ask, you learn. You live, you learn" ("You learn" Alanis Morissette)
"... pero eso no logrÃÆó hacerme melancÃÆólica, porque vine al mundo con un soplo de selva en la memoria."
(Isabel Allende)
âÃâ¬ÃŽ"NiÃÆña eterna, danza y desaparece el mundo conocido, nace el misticismo y todo abunda en el cuerpo armÃÆónico, todo se deshace en la mente. Flotar, morir, dejar atrÃÆás. Libertad que grito y amo, libertad de mi espÃÆÃÂritu" Karina Isabel RoldÃÆán
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
Surf and host any time I can. I also like meeting new people, show around my beautiful city, help in any way I can to couchsurfers who are visiting Argentina, share likes and events, learn foreing lenguagues. Or just hang out and have a good time with nice people! :)
I'm starting to couchsurf so I don't have too much experience yet. But I would love to become an advanced couchsurfer who hosts and travels a lot! I wanna know the world and every single culture in it. I wanna make friends and the best of this is that although I haven't travel or hosted anybody yet, I already have some realy good new friends! CS rocks! :)
Centres d'intérêt
I think I have too many interests 'cause I always want to know and learn more, so there are a lot of things I like. I'll try to be short, but I can't promise anything! You probably will stop reading in 3, 2, 1.....
I love dancing (I'm a dancer!), hang out with friends, have a good talk about almost anything, have mate at the beach or a drink in my balcony. A good book is always an excelent companion, and good music also is.
Since a didn't traveled too much, I like to meet people who did because I feel I can travel trough their stories.
I like surfing and I go every summer to the beach because of that. I used to figure skate and I still enjoy going to the rink now and then.
I love watching a movie while eating ice cream, even in winter. My last adiction is practicing acrobatics and trapeze. And hang out with you, dear CSurfers!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres
I like music, movies and books so much that it won't be possible to mention everything. Here's a poor attempt:
Music: I can listen everything and I'm always willing to discover new sounds. My Spotify playlists are growing everyday: Jason Mraz, Evanescence, Lifehouse, Madonna, Ne-yo, Whitesnake, Sabina, Serrat, Garbage and muuuuuuch more.
Movies: and TV series as well, of course.
Movies like "La vita è bella", "Requiem for a dream", "Metropolis" left me some marks. I loved (and still do) ER, Lost, Friends, TBBT, House MD, X-Files, Buffy and OZ. Among many, many, many others movies and series.
Books: Isabel Allende is one of my favourites writters. I also like the Brontë sisters and enjoyed many Stephen King's pages. I've read Harry Potter and I liked it, although Lord of the Rings is still better (no comparison whatsoever) Ponele...

Olympus America (www.olympusamerica.com) on Wednesday rolled out a major refresh of its digital camera line coming in September, introducing new FE series and Stylus models. They run the gamut from entry-level cameras for first-time digital camera buyers to high-powered models equipped with 10-megapixel sensors.
The new FE series includes the FE-170, FE-180, FE-190 and FE-200 models -- point-&-shoot cameras designed for ease of use. They're all 6.0 megapixel models that include digital image stabilization, a 2.5-inch LCD viewfinder and other features. They all include an enhanced "Help Guide" that provides tutorial information for users, and tout a "one touch" design with individual buttons for shooting, reviewing and deleting images.

A little guidance for a fresh install of Windows 7 ultimate, please.
Hey, newbie here looking for a little guidance in regards to a fresh install of Windows 7 ultimate.
My boss recently gave me a copy of Win. 7 Ultimate 32 bit so I decided to give it a go.
Not sure if this makes a difference, but it is being installed on a Compaq Presario F700 (laptop). The laptop was bought with Vista pre-installed.
Now, before I went ahead and installed 7, my HDD was set up in that Vista itself was on partition D: as a recovery partition, and everything else (My documents, Program Files etc..) was on C:.
When I installed 7, I left both partitions the way they were, formatted them and pointed the 7 installation to (what was) D: (is now C.
The problem is, Program Files and all that is stuck on that partition. I can 'move' My Documents and whatnot from within the properties tab, but not Program Files.
Basically, what I'm looking to do is have it setup the way it was when Vista was installed - C: Program Files, My documents etc... D: Win. 7 (recovery partition?).
Thanks in advance for and help.

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums, Toasty.
Use this link to HP support for your laptop then choose from the various options within.
Compaq Presario F700 Notebook PC series*-* System recovery - HP Business Support Center
If your recovery partition is still intact your recovery procedure is quite straightforward.
If you don't have a recovery partition you can use recovery discs if you created them.
If you don't have either, you can buy recovery discs from HP.
You will need to backup all your personal data first, and then reinstall your programs after your computer has been restored to its factory state.
|My System Specs
|18 Nov 2011
seavixen, I appreciate the response, but I am not looking to recover anything.
The reason I wrote 'recovery partition' is because that's what the partition was labled as when Vista was installed.
All I'm trying to do is get the partitions set up more or less the same as they were in Vista; C: (My Documents, Program Files etc..), D: (Windows 7).
|My System Specs
|18 Nov 2011
Hard to follow your explanation, but....
I doubt if Vista was ever on D. The D partition was presumably a partition from which you could restore Vista to C.
It looks like you may have installed Windows 7 to what used to be D, thereby overwriting your previously available recovery partition?
And did not touch C, where Vista was originally installed?
Or I may be confused entirely about what you have done or what you originally had.
Can you post a screen shot of your Disk Management as it now exists?
|My System Specs
|18 Nov 2011
In that case, the title of your thread is somewhat misleading: A little guidance for a fresh install of Windows 7 ultimate
That suggests to me you're wanting to re-install Windows.
Further confusion arises from this: Basically, what I'm looking to do is have it setup the way it was when Vista was installed
That also suggests you're wanting to re-install Vista.
The problem you're faced with is that for some reason Vista was installed to your D drive, when normally you would install it on your C drive, now that you've installed Windows 7, it will automatically change its drive letter to C.
Before we go any further can you please upload a screenshot of your fully-expanded Disk Management layout to give us a better idea of what's going on?

" The D partition was presumably a partition from which you could restore Vista to C.". Perhaps you're right, ignatzatsonic. I'm semi computer illiterate.
"It looks like you may have installed Windows 7 to what used to be D, thereby overwriting your previously available recovery partition?" Correct.
"And did not touch C, where Vista was originally installed?" I wiped C as well before installing 7.
So what you're saying is that D was nothing more than a recovery partition?
If so, should I just get rid of the D partiton altogether?
|My System Specs
|18 Nov 2011
My guess is that yes, D was only a recovery partition.
If you installed to it, whatever it was, it's no longer a recovery partition.
Offhand, I'd delete all partitions and install to a new C, but we'd really like to see a pic of Disk Management to see the extent of the carnage.
|My System Specs
|18 Nov 2011
Yeah, sorry. Screenshot is now up on my previous post.
|My System Specs
|18 Nov 2011
Yeah, the C that you wiped is now shown as D, 137 GB, and empty.
I assume you have a valid install disc and don't care about anything now on that entire hard drive?
If that is the case, do the install over.
Delete all partitions in the process.
You should end up with 2 partitions: C of around 149 GB and a little one called System Reserved of 100 MB or so.
You have passed the point of no return---you can't go back to Vista unless you have Vista disks of some type.
|My System Specs
|18 Nov 2011
As we suspected, you've installed Windows to your recovery partition.
The System Reserved partition holds the master boot record files and your D drive holds your personal data.
I agree with ignatzatsonic, save your personal data , wipe your hard drive and clean install Windows 7.

text: Decided to smoke prime rib for Christmas dinner. I was a little nervous since I've never made prime rib before and didn't want to ruin Christmas dinner. It was on the smaller side at 4.5lb since it was just for me and my girlfriend (we both did the whole family thing for Christmas Eve so just wantd to spend Christmas day together). I'm happy to say it came out PERFECT. I rubbed it down with a little olive oil and then salt, course black pepper , granulated onion and granulated garlic. The put it in the smoker at 230 degrees and got the smoke blowing. Also put a foil pan under it with some beef stock and seasoning to catch the drippings and make au ju's for it. I pulled it out at 129 degrees IT and let it rest for about 30 minutes the cut off the rib bones and put aside (gonna put those back in the smoker today or tomorrow) and sliced for serving. And finally, plated with a baked potato.... Came out a perfect medium rare with a nice smokey flavor. Now I just have to figure out how to reheat the un-cut left over portion without over cooking it. Is that even possible???

It's great to watch a game exceed expectations and deliver an experience beyond the original development point like Heavy Rain has. The majority of you who have played it, have undoubtedly enjoyed the game as the feedback from gamers has been mostly positive with a few bad ones mixed into the pot. This outcome is one that David Cage, creator of Heavy Rain, says was beyond his "craziest dreams."
While Quantic Dream really established themselves through Indigo Prophecy on PlayStation 2 — anyone who played it would tell you that they wanted more, something even better — if at all possible. Cage and Co., delivered just that; a better experience within a similar style of world.
Speaking with Industry Gamers, Cage discussed how Heavy Rain's reception has blown his mind, "It's way above my expectations in my craziest dreams, to be honest with you. We thought the feedback would be very polarized until the game was released, but now that it's been released we see that out of 373 reviews the game has an average of 9 out of 10.
So it's actually not polarized at all. What is very interesting also is that the mainstream press reacted very positively to it; these people usually only talk about games because of violence or addiction issues or whatever. But they talked about it because it was very new, really original and innovative. Most of all, it's gamers who know whether it's interesting or not, and the game really exceeded any expectations during the first two weeks. It's sold out in many countries and the sales definitely exceeded what we expected."
The question should remain: "Why didn't Sony advertise the game more?" I understand that Heavy Rain isn't Uncharted 2 and didn't receive millions upon millions of dollars of advertising, but I've yet to see any real advertising for HR here in North America at all. Thankfully, word of mouth is the best form of advertising and it's free — Heavy Rain definitely received a lot of that type, that's for sure. David Cage happened to notice that as well and appreciates it from fans of the game.
"The word of mouth seems to be incredibly positive about the game, when reading reviews and talking to gamers. Sony did some investigations about satisfaction ratio and it's between 90 to 95 percent. So it's polarized between the people who played it and didn't play it, because for those who played it's really, really positive."
Sounds about right to us. Where would you put your satisfaction level of Heavy Rain?

BARCELONA, Spain -- Olympic hurdles champion Aries Merritt of the United States faces tough competition at the IAAF's 100th anniversary gala.
Three months after winning the 110-meter hurdles at the London Games, Merritt will be up against Usain Bolt of Jamaica and 800-meter gold medalist David Rudisha of Kenya for the IAAF's World Athlete of the Year award.
Bolt retained his 100 and 200 titles in London, but Merritt followed up his gold-medal run with a world record in the hurdles in September.
Renaldo Nehemiah, a former world record holder who played for the San Francisco 49ers, says Merritt recovered the "art" of hurdling.
American Allyson Felix, Valerie Adams and Jessica Ennis -- all gold medalists at the London Olympics -- are vying for the women's award, which will be given out Saturday.

Electronic Calendar Appointments – Keeping You On Time, Every TimeOctober 12, 2010 8:03 am,
As life and business get busier, more and more people are relying on their digital calendars to make sure they keep to their schedule – there are many different calendaring applications from Google, Microsoft and others but luckily for you and us, most of them support the standard format for calendar entries, iCal.
Using this format we have recently introduced functionality whereby a file is attached to course instruction emails. This file is an iCal appointment and this means users can have the appointment appear directly in their calendar application of choice, be it Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Entourage, or any other program that supports iCal appointments.
As a standard feature, the calendar appointments include a reminder 24 hours before the course start. A really useful feature is that if the course owner changes details of a course, such as the date, location, or room, LearningSource will give them the option to send email updates to all involved. These emails will also include a calendar appointment update. When recipients open and accept the change the original appointment will be updated with the new information.
We have got full instructions about this functionality on our support page and below are some images showing how this works. The great thing about this is that these reminders will also show on mobile phones that have calendar integration, meaning those missed appointments will be (notwithstanding car breakdowns and domestic incidents) a thing of the past.

ReviewThis car is the total package. It outperforms most sports cars on the market, reliable, gets decent gas mileage, AND will carry 4 average adults comfortably. This car was my dream car prior to the US getting it and it has not let me down. The gas mileage averages about 25-26 on the highway (no a/c on). To push this car to it's limits is VERY difficult to do because the limits of the driver come WAY before. Completely stock, this car is ready for the track (some safety mods -- better brake pads, lines, and fluid would help). Overall, I am very pleased with this car and would recommend it to anyone wanting a REAL sports car that is livable without paying big bucks.
Best FeaturesAWD, turbocharged, braking, HIDS, wheels, and fun-to-drive factor. The interior is styled simple, but nice. It draws attention from those that know and respect the performance. Reliable.
Worst FeaturesCheap paint that chips easily on plastic body panels (front and side skirts),

SEE: http://youtu.be/oAMty_EdeT8
On his upcoming release Another Day (Eusonia Records, 2011), Zach Deputy demonstrates his extraordinary ability to perform and record in multiple contexts. He conveys the sensibilities of a mature singer/songwriter and demonstrates that he is not merely a "looper"1 with crazy chops, serious pipes and colorful outfits. Another Day offers another look at Zach Deputy and seeks to help him cross over into other audiences. Rich with ballads and mid-tempo songs, the music on this recording is best described as soulful rhythm and blues, with flavors of Al Green, Taj Mahal and Stevie Wonder emerging in the swells, changes and modulations of the music, in the voice and even in the lyrical content. The record will appeal to fans of contemporary artists like Jack Johnson and Amos Lee, but the origins of the style and feel remain classic.
Recorded over 5 days in August, 2009 at Mission Sound Recording in Brooklyn, NY, Another Day emerged as a warm, mellow album, one that is perfect for after hour soirees and sunsets. It is possible that the only benefit to recording with a limited budget in a small window of time is that the raw essence of the session is not stripped away by weeks or months of second guessing and revision. The instincts and experience of the players is critical in sessions like this, and producer Scott Jacoby chose the right guys to fill out the sound and vibe of the record.
To handle the ever-present Latin, Caribbean and African elements in Zach Deputy's backbeat and place them in the contemporary soul / pop format of the songs, Jacoby tapped Graham Hawthorne (Aretha Franklin, Harry Belafonte, Joan Osborne, Paul Simon, David Byrne) for the drum kit. Bassist Al Carty came into the studio and explained to Deputy's manager that he was feeling a little scattered, as he had played four church gigs that day. Despite the list of artists he has recorded or toured with (Lou Reed, Rob Thomas, Alicia Keys, De La Soul, Carrie Underwood, Gavin DeGraw, Me'shell Ndegeocello, Ashanti and more), the church gigs alone proved that Jacoby was on the mark with this choice for the low end. Zach Deputy is, after all, a soul singer whose music is underpinned by Gospel as much as by any other musical idiom. Equally at home in the Gospel tradition, pianist / organist Will Buthod (Jay-Z, Fat Joe, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Mashonda, The Harlem Gospel Choir) rounded out the studio trio that filled out Deputy's vision for the recording, a vision made real by Jacoby's pitch perfect choice of accompanists. These four accomplished professionals met for the first time on the first day of recording and worked as if they were old friends with a shared history and a common purpose.
In contrast to the music and feel of Another Day, Zach Deputy has made his mark thus far as a touring powerhouse.
As a boy, the music of Zach Deputy's Puerto Rican, Cruzan and Irish heritage was cooked up in the South Carolina heat. The Calypso rhythms and folk songs of St. Croix competed with the R&B / soul of pioneers like James Brown and Ray Charles for space on the family stereo. As Deputy honed his craft, a unique hybrid of these influences emerged, ultimately creating the signature Zach Deputy sound. To bring this sound to the stage, the big, impossibly upbeat South Carolinian with the infectious smile puts on a solo show-- enhanced by looping technology-- that is essentially a one man dance party offering up what he calls "Island-infused, Drum 'n' Bass, Gospel-Ninja-Soul" to the enthusiastic crowds of dancers who flock to clubs from coast-to-coast. It is these late night dance partiesmore than 250 per year-- that have made Zach Deputy one of the hottest up-and-coming performers on the camping festival circuit and "jam band" scene.
Of course, artists are seldom content to stay in one place artistically, and Zach was looking to collaborate with somebody on a more "produced", even somewhat "urban" sounding record. When Zach's manager first turned Grammy Award winning producer Scott Jacoby on to some of Zach's more funky, upbeat live performances, Jacoby simply didn't hear it. The one-man-band live looping show features a more simplified version of Deputy's music, and Jacoby was looking for songs, structure, changes, hooks, choruses stuff that is nearly impossible to do by one's self on stage with a nylon string Godin acoustic guitar, a handful of mics and a bunch of looping technology. Zach simply showed up at Jacoby's studio with his acoustic guitar and sang a few songs and Jacoby was inspiredthe urban-oriented dance album they had discussed was going to have to wait: he and Zach were now going to make what they called a "Ray Lamontagne" kind of record and the result is Another Day.
For Zach, most days begin in a hotel room and end a couple of hours after walking off stage, leaving a packed house of sweaty dancers calling for more. The constant touring and the compelling live show may be the key to Zach's success on the road, but it is an unlikely inspiration for Another Day, as there is little similarity between what fans have come to expect from Zach and what is offered up in this new record. Thus, Another Day is an appropriately titled album, and it is truly an album in the classic sensea collection of songs that come from the same time and place, inspired by the same muse. Reflective and introspective, it provides a glimpse at the soul of an artist and the depth of a songwriter. Full of hope and anticipation of the promise of another day, a new day, it is a pivotal point in the career of a touring musician. Whereas it is a departure for Zach Deputy, it is one that he feels confident his fans can relate to, but it isn't the end in itself. Deputy's multi-faceted diamond gets one side polished in this offering, and it is a side that will shine brightly for a new audience.

Although the term "transgender" itself has achieved familiarity only within the past decade, this authoritative collection of articles demonstrates that the study of behaviors, bodies, and subjective identities which contest common Eurocentric notions of gender has a history stretching back at least to the early 20th century.
Transgender studies is the latest area of academic inquiry to grow out of the exciting nexus of queer theory, feminist studies, and the history of sexuality. Because transpeople challenge our most fundamental assumptions about the relationship between bodies, desire, and identity, the field is both fascinating and contentious. The Transgender Studies Reader puts between two covers fifty influential texts with new introductions by the editors that, taken together, document the evolution of transgender studies in the English-speaking world. By bringing together the voices and experience of transgender individuals, doctors, psychologists, and academically-based theorists, this volume will be a foundational text for the transgender community, transgender studies, and related queer theory.

Pawlenty reaches out to free-market conservatives
If the demurrals of Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have left small-government conservatives aching for a standard-bearer to seek the GOP presidential nomination, former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty is hoping to persuade them this week that he's their man.
On Wednesday, Pawlenty made a direct appeal to a gathering of conservatives in downtown Washington, pledging to place a temporary freeze on public employee salaries and to cut one in two federal jobs through attrition.
The venue, the libertarian Cato Institute, was rich with the symbolism of what Pawlenty was hoping to do: fill the free-enterprise space that many Republicans had hoped Daniels or Christie would step into — and demonstrate that he was up to the task.
"We can't have federal employees getting a better deal than the people paying the bill — and that's the taxpayer," Pawlenty said at the third stop of a week-long swing across the country that began Monday with the official kickoff of his presidential campaign.
It has been a week of symbolic backdrops. In Iowa,where the ethanol lobby has held an iron grip on political discourse, Pawlenty promised to end ethanol subsidies. In Florida, where politicians historically have courted an older population by promising to protect entitlement programs, he pledged to stem the runaway costs of Social Security and Medicare by tightening benefits. And in New York on Friday, he will take aim at the bailouts of big businesses and Wall Street, which he said helped run up the nation's debt in recent years.
"That's the kind of spirit we're going to have, which is to speak truth to what the real problem is and not have any sacred cows," Pawlenty said. "And those are some of the examples."
The Cato Institute was an appropriate setting for Pawlenty to emphasize not only how he hopes to rein in government spending but to talk up his fiscal accomplishments during eight years as governor of Minnesota.
"I think he probably views Cato as a symbolic venue for making it clear he's serious about spending reductions," said Edward Crane, the institute's founder and president. "He was one of four governors last year to get an 'A' grade from our fiscal report card. And he earned it. He did a good job there against a legislature that was very much against him."
Whether Pawlenty succeeds in rallying the free-market crowd around him remains to be seen. Crane said that many such thinkers continue to hold out hope that Christie will reconsider as the year goes on — particularly if none of the current contenders gains ground against President Obama in public polls.
Others suggested that the rise of the tea party helped decentralize the limited-government movement, meaning that Pawlenty — and others — will have to do more than give a speech at Cato to earn the support of activists.
"I don't think you can go to one place anymore and get the blessing of a kingmaker," said Matt Kibbe, president of free-market organization FreedomWorks. "Citizens all over the country that basically represent tea party values, they want to sacred cows challenged. They want to see real solutions to our spending and debt crisis. A lot of the candidates on the Republican side are now talking the talk. But how do you prove to the activists that you actually mean it?"
Pawlenty faced that question on Wednesday, when he said that his proposed salary freeze for federal workers would not apply to military personnel. "I'm not one who is going to stand before you and tell you we should cut the defense budget," he said.
Crane noted that Pawlenty's answer was at odds with Cato's position on military spending, which Crane said is different from defense spending.
"The Constitution provides for a military to defend the U.S. — not to democratize the world," Crane said. "One would hope that presidential candidates would consider America's commitments overseas very seriously before endorsing those commitments."
Pawlenty also had little to say about the Republican plan to overhaul Medicare, which some GOP leaders are blaming for the party's loss of a special congressional election Tuesday in a heavily Republican district in Upstate New York. Asked what he thought of the Ryan plan in the wake of Tuesday's results, Pawlenty credited Ryan for a "courageous" plan but said he would put out his own, different proposal soon.
Pawlenty also faced a barrage of criticism from Democratic Party leaders who pointed out that Pawlenty's claims to have reduced spending and balanced budgets in Minnesota failed to mention that he did so in part with help from federal stimulus dollars.
Critics also noted that Obama froze pay for federal employees for two years beginning last fall. Pawlenty said his freeze would last until federal salaries matched comparable salaries in the private sector.
Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse referred to Pawlenty's "smoke and mirrors" fiscal record as governor, which he said included "accounting tricks, a well-timed infusion of stimulus money from Washington and word games."

United Blood Services says supplies too low
United Blood Services is making a critical appeal for blood donors, saying there's not enough blood on the shelves to fill hospital needs for several blood types.
A blood drive will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at Security State Bank, 7801 Quaker Ave. The following blood types are especially needed: O-, B-, A- and AB- and O+.
There will be several door prizes at the blood drive.
Code officers to meet neighborhood residents
Lubbock code enforcement officers will be out in the neighborhood around Ballenger Elementary and Harwell Elementary between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. today.
They will be looking for code violations and also talking with residents about city code ordinances. A field office will be set up in the parking lot of the skate park at 35th Street and Avenue L.
The Solid Waste Department will provide a Dumpster at the field office for neighborhood residents to dispose of large items, such as furniture, appliances or tree branches.
Sprinklers to spray water on reseeded parks' lawns
The sprinklers will be on during the day in four city parks after crews reseeded them.
A news release from the city said it would be necessary to water the parks between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. in order for the seeds to germinate. Watering is normally restricted during these times - however, the city's water ordinance does allow for watering during daytime hours for new turf and landscaping.
The parks where sprinklers may be running include:
Aztlan Park, First Street and Avenue K.
Guy Park, 93rd Street and Memphis Avenue.
Miller Park, Memphis Avenue and Memphis Drive.
Rawlings Park, 40th Street and Avenue B.

So for those of you who know me, you know I initially complained about a data reconstruction problem with my ix4-200d! I accidently pulled the power cable out (doh!) and then my system came up JUST fine, and said "Data reconstruction, 2%" Yea, it said that FOREVER – And it did nothing and got nowhere! Regardless of how many reboots I made! (Though my data access was fine!)
And even going to the "Update Device Software" tab, it always reported "The device software is up to date" Which I now know is a LIE! LIES I SAY! :)
I did a little searching and came across an updated firmware! (oh my!) however it didn't say it'd do anything about data reconstruction problems! But hey, I always like to be running the latest/greatest, so I downloaded and installed the latest firmware! StorCenter ix4-200d Firmware Version 184.108.40.206: Read First (You'll find this to be quick and painless!)
Well, some minutes passed and all of a sudden the system was all "DATA RECONSTRUCTION IS HAPPENING IN THE HIZZY!" Okay, not in those exact words.. but I don't feel like pulling my power to try to reproduce the problem – needless to say, my data reconstruction resumed and finished in short order! Score one for the bucko! (dated reference much?!)
So I deep dove into the system to see what else had changed! (nothing consequential that I could find) but my journey to find a way to ssh this box had not ended! I was determined! I must.. I must.. I must increase my SSH ability! And while searching I came across not only this webpage SSH/Shell access to iomega StorCenter ix2 but that little gem of a webpage included this little link at the bottom! http://ip-of-nas/support.html – Which when you browse to it on your ix4, you end up seeing a page which looks like… this!
This has a few little gems, only two of which will I look at in any detail – Support Access and Recover Disks
Well, Support Access looks pretty damn straight forward! Check the box, reboot, and SSH will be enabled (permanently!)
The Storage Recovery Verification is a bit more interesting – my "guess" is that it allows you the ability to force the data reconstruction many of us complain of! Again, I have no intention of forcing the deal to try to see what happens if I fail my system – You simply let me know if this works for you – with data reconstruction woes :)
Sweet, eh! So, I feel comfortable sharing the process on how to do this.. because frankly, I had to find it from the outside looking in! So I definitely grant you good luck on solving your data reconstruction, firmware updating, and enabling SSH on your NAS!
Until I find an externally cited source though.. I cannot share with you my passwd I used to log in to my ix4 ;)
As promised! Shell access to your ix2/ix4 exposed! "Get yer red hot ssh here!"
If you come across a site referencing it though, I'd be glad to add it to the mix! Thanks for your patience.. and look forward to a future post around getting my 'gigabit runs at 100mb' problem :)

#LoveStrategy 1:
So you've proven to yourself & the world that you're savvy, smart, and a #workaholic right 👏👏👏👌? But, what does that have to do with finding love and happiness? I ask because I coach a lot of women who feel that their education & success should make them smart about relationships. But they are often sitting at home alone on Friday night's & not by choice.
Unfortunately, having a high IQ, does not mean you have high EQ, emotional intelligence.
Since being successful financially & professionally doesn't guarantee success in love & relationships; you may want to reconsider your approach. Do you have a love strategy? Do you even think that you need one 🤔??? 🎥📸Video Coming Soon
#TIP: MORE participating in the process & LESS judging of the process. Life & Love happens when we get OUT of our comfort zones.
