blown fuse, radio won't work (HELP!!)
I have a 2006 F-250. I was trying to hook up a keyless entry system and I was poking around in the power lock connector to figure out what wires were which, and how it worked. I checked the continuity between pegs when buttons were pushed with out the connector hooked up. I found out that the unlock wire recieves 12 volts to unlock I tried jumping the wires to get the door to lock/unlock. I heard a snap and knew it was a fuse....
So that's what I did, now here's the problem: Radio (or other dash controls) won't work. I checked every fuse, the only fuse that was bad was number 29, which is labled "Customer Access" I replaced the fuse, it blew, I stepped it up to a 15A, and that blew. I am out of ideas. Anyone else have any?? Thank you in advance for any help!! |

So early in his deeply reported, deeply frightening story of America's massive nuclear arsenal, "Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety," investigative reporter Eric Schlosser takes us back to World War II and the Manhattan Project.
The day after the "Trinity" test in the desert of New Mexico, dozens of scientists who had worked on the bomb signed a petition addressed to President Harry S. Truman. The petition warned that using the atomic bomb against Japan would unleash "an era of destruction on an unimaginable scale."
"The petition never reached the president," Schlosser reports. "And even if it had, it probably wouldn't have changed his mind."
The rest is well known: Two bombs were dropped, Japan's emperor ordered his subjects to surrender, and the nuclear arms race had begun.
But the race has been dangerous, just as the scientists warned. The danger has come not just from the possibility of war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union but from the routine handling of the very weapons that were meant to keep America safe.
Nuclear weapons have been lost, misplaced and left untended without security. Accidents at missile sites have been caught with only minutes, maybe seconds, to spare.
Using the Freedom of Information Act and conducting myriad interviews with technicians, military personnel and nuclear scientists, Schlosser explains how the enormous technical complexity of nuclear weapons and the military's top-down, centralized management style have put the public at risk.
"The instinct to blame the people at the bottom not only protected those at the top, it also obscured an underlying truth," Schlosser writes. "The fallibility of human beings guarantees that no technological system will ever be infallible."
Add to the mix the military's need/penchant for secrecy and the danger increases, "Command and Control" asserts, because it blocks out voices who might be able to spot problems before they become disasters: "The need to protect national security has long been used as a justification for hiding things to avoid embarrassment."
Schlosser's bold assertions are strongly supported by facts and a compelling narrative style — a formula that Schlosser honed in his 2001 bestseller "Fast Food Nation," which explored unsanitary conditions and unhealthy food in the fast-food industry and was later turned into a film by Richard Linklater.
"Fast Food Nation" triggered much soul-searching about a topic that was part of Americans' daily lives. This time, the facts are probably too technical for anyone outside the nuclear industry to dispute, but one can hope that "Command and Control" will spark debate about the safety and advisability of America's stockpile of nuclear weapons, the kind of debate that Schlosser argues has been missing.
His main example is an incident that occurred in 1980 at a missile silo outside the farming community of Damascus, Ark. In the silo was a W-53 thermonuclear warhead, sitting atop a Titan II missile. An Air Force enlisted man, performing routine maintenance, dropped a wrench that fell 80 feet and pierced the skin of one of the rocket's fuel tanks.
What follows is a techno-thriller of the first order. Schlosser describes the heart-pounding rush to avoid what the Manhattan Project scientists called the unimaginable: an explosion of the world's most lethal weapon, multiple times more destructive than the bomb that leveled Hiroshima.
It is a testament to Schlosser's skill that he can keep the suspense going even when we know — spoiler alert — that the warhead did not explode and casualties were limited to one dead, 20 injured and a deep hole blown in the Arkansas countryside. That a catastrophe was averted can be traced, Schlosser argues, to the training, quick-thinking and, yes, bravery of military personnel at the scene — and a good deal of luck.
But luck is a lousy way to bet against an accident in the future.
"I have no doubt that America's nuclear weapons are among the safest, most advanced, most secure against unauthorized use that have ever been built," he concludes. "And yet the United States has narrowly avoided a long series of nuclear disasters."
Schlosser is particularly tough on the Navy and its handling of nuclear weapons aboard submarines. He sides with those nuclear scientists who believe the Navy is risking disaster by using an overly dangerous explosive to reduce the weight of its warheads.
One accident could set off a chain-reaction of warheads, according to "Command and Control," and "spread a good deal of plutonium around the ports of Georgia and Washington state, where Trident submarines are based" — again the kind of allegation that only a few nuclear specialists have enough inside information to debate.
True, of the 70,000 — take in that number, 70,000 — nuclear weapons built by the U.S. since the two bombs that ended World War II, none has ever been detonated by mistake or without proper authority. But what about the problems of nuclear proliferation to Third World countries and the demonstrated sloppiness of the Russians? Chernobyl, anyone?

Beyoncé May Wear Givenchy Couture in Her New Music Video!
She was previously photographed in a sasquatch Cavalli costume for what is presumably the same work. Red Carpet Fashion Awards has identified the dress she wears in a very, very blurry photo of the singer on set in the Mojave Desert as spring 2011 Givenchy couture. The most amazing thing about this is that bloggers are out there who can spot a piece of Givenchy couture under Beyoncé's halo from ten miles away in a sandstorm in the middle of the night in a thick fog.

Currency Futures
Definition of 'Currency Futures'
A transferable futures contract that specifies the price at which a currency can be bought or sold at a future date. Currency future contracts allow investors to hedge against foreign exchange risk.
Investopedia explains 'Currency Futures'
Because currency futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, investors can exit their obligation to buy or sell the currency prior to the contract's delivery date. This is done by closing out the position. With currency futures, the price is determined when the contract is signed, just as it is in the forex market, only and the currency pair is exchanged on the delivery date, which is usually some time in the distant future. However, most participants in the futures markets are speculators who usually close out their positions before the date of settlement, so most contracts do not tend to last until the date of delivery.

This story is not getting much traction in the media but it is something that is very disturbing.
From the Washington Post:
Foreign hackers broke into a water plant control system in Illinois last week and damaged a water pump in what appears to be the first reported case of a malicious cyber attack damaging a critical computer system in the United States, according to an industry expert.
On Nov. 8, a municipal water district employee in Illinois noticed problems with the city's water pump control system, and a technician determined the system had been remotely hacked into from a computer located in Russia, said Joe Weiss, an industry security expert who obtained a copy of an Illinois state fusion center report describing the incident.
"This is a big deal," said Weiss. The report stated it is unknown how many other systems might be affected.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that a water plant in Springfield, Ill. had been damaged, but spokesman Peter Boogaard said officials had not yet determined that the water pump failure was caused by a cyber-attack. "DHS and the FBI are gathering facts surrounding the report of a water pump failure in Springfield, Illinois. At this time there is no credible corroborated data that indicates a risk to critical infrastructure entities or a threat to public safety," he said.
Problems with the system in Springfield had been observed for two to three months and recently the system "would power on and off, resulting in the burnout of a water pump," the Nov. 10 report from the statewide terrorism and intelligence center stated, according to Weiss, who read the report to The Washington Post.
According to the report, hackers apparently broke into a software company's database and retrieved user names and passwords of various control systems that run water plant computer equipment. Using that data, they were able to hack into the plant in Illinois, Weiss said.
This is very disturbing because we are no prepared. Not only is American infrastructure vulnerable to this type of hacking but much of this equipment that might be targeted is not made in America anymore.
These types of incidents are only going to increase in the next few years. As a nation we are going to have to deal with these. The question for us to decide is who do we want in the Oval Office responding to the next incident like this.
One thing is for certain, we do not want Barack Obama to be the one making those decisions.
What makes you think that a capitalist can't be a true conservative?
I didn't say that a capitalist CAN'T be a true conservative - I said that Mitt Romney is much more of a capitalist than he is a conservative. I don't question his claim to being a conservative; I question the PERCENTAGE of his makeup, beliefs, and policies that would be defined as being conservative. Compared to someone like, oh, Herman Cain - Mitt is about a 30-40% conservative. Compared to John Huntsman, Mitt is practically a Founding Father.
New issue, new worry. It is constant, and the byline "Something To Be Concerned About", are you kidding?? My God, we are all going crazy with all this corruption, collusion, communist Group in charge. Yes, I agree, it is another thing to be alamed about, and the Alarms are getting louder and louder. I hope and pray constantly that we be delivered from this Evil, but it takes all of us, demanding it!
Every time there is a massive fire that burns millions of acres I always wonder whether it's terrorism.
In most cases its natures way of cleaning the grounds up and get rid of old grass and bushs.....When it get dry like it has in TX more will burn until it gets to green grass then stops. But its natures way of cleaning house....
There have been reports that the fires Arizona dealt with were started by illegals crossing over. Supposedly there was evidence found but not much was aired.
However I agree with you that most cases are nature's way of taking care of business.

On the eve of a new decade, as folks gear up to act upon or find excuses to avoid their New Year's resolutions of 2010, I find myself reflecting on the last (and very climatic) year of the most tumultuous decade since the 60′s. [...] If you had to give up everything in your abode less one piece of furniture, what would you keep? What is the first thing that comes to mind? For me, the dearest piece of furniture in my apartment is my bed. And not for the obvious reason. As a chronically single gal most of my romping is done solo. [...] I once heard that a New Yorker is always in search of one of three things: a mate, a job or an apartment. And if you are of one of the rare breeds that has all three then you're probably out searching for a better version. Where did I hear this? Who knows, it may have been said in an episode of Sex and The City. One receives so much information in this city it's hard to retain what you've heard from where, when, or whom. [...] Today I woke up to a quiet and empty space. Christmas is gone, my roommate is gone and all that is left is me. As I walked through the apartment I caught whiff of the warm lavender and vanilla scents I'd scattered throughout the space just a few days before. It was then that it dawned on me that I have a whole lot to be thankful for as I reflected over the events of the past month. [...] The bitter cold outside my door is so debilitating I find it impossible to wretch my body from the warmth of the bed. Hence, I lie here writing whatever comes to mind in freehand between bouts of sleep. [...] The pursuit of happiness is the most frivolous venture embarked on by mankind. Those who seek its fallacy live an existence clouded by disappointment; destined to die without ever discovering their own truth. [...] The New York MTA is complaining AGAIN about budget deficits and are now taking free metro cards from city school kids and cutting services on already crowded trains and buses. Who is running the New York metro system, a gang of mobsters with no financial acumen? [...] Why is maturity so lacking in American society? Every time I turn my head I am faced with another half-witted person perpetrating adulthood. From the overpaid insensitive politicians running our government, to friends, family, coworkers and lovers, all the way down to little five-year old Sarah. I've had it up to my ears with people who are emotionally at the functional level of a three year old. Yeah, little Sarah I'm talking to you too, grow up kid – your five already. [...] With a bit of extra time on my hands these days I've been taking some time to clean up my inbox of old irrelevant emails. Last month I sat for several hours and deleted something to the effect of 10,000+ emails. very so often a random email peaks my interest. Like a year ago, United Airlines sent me an email threatening to purge me of all my frequent flyer miles because I had not been active for six months. Turns out the airlines are getting inventive. Redeem your old stale frequent flyer miles for gift certificates to Gap, Old Navy, Macy's, Saks, Barnes & Noble, I-Tunes and more, or use them to book hotel rooms and car rentals. [...] I have just discovered the American Dream – slave labor till death. How stupid of me to expect more of a country that owes its existence to the exploitation of my ancestors. The luxury of life belong to others with more and since I am not one of those people I am entitled to death. [...] |

Used Mercedes SLK
Sporty roadsters seem to grow on trees these days, but the Mercedes SLK is a world apart. It's an all powerful ruler of an overcrowded motoring niche and delivers amazing performance combined with awesome designs. There's no better choice if you want to have fun and look the part at the same time!
The SLK has been ripping up the road since 1996 and has become one of the most popular two seater sports cars in that time. Numerous generations have followed and each one showcases the latest technology and motoring prowess of the famous German brand.
One of the toughest choices you'll face is whether to get the coupe or cabriolet. While the former is altogether sharper and more poised, the latter allows you to have the wind in your hair, which is what this type of car is all about. The exterior and interior of the SLK are both something special to behold; the sleek bodywork is teamed with an uncomplicated but supremely finished cockpit that's enough to get anyone excited.
You don't buy a small roadster and expect it to be hugely practical, but having said that there's a fair amount of boot space. The main attraction is the performance, and there's certainly no lack of it thanks to several different engine options. From the comparatively frugal entry level 1.8 litre to the almighty 5.5 litre V8 on the SLK55 AMG, there's really something for everyone.
To drive the Merc is smooth and perfectly balanced. It's a motorway marauder and a country road conqueror, and the ride quality is second to none. You really do feel in control and the steering is super sensitive which means you can feel every little piece of the road. With an automatic or manual gearbox, there's choice for the wannabe racers and people who simply want to sit back and relax.
The SLK is epic in every respect of the word; you only need to start it up to realise this simple fact.
There's no shortage of second hand Mercedes SLK cars here at Motors.co.uk and you only need to spend a few minutes browsing the vast array of used cars for sale in order to find the right one. The great thing is that you'll pay significantly less as a result of hefty price reductions, and that means you can enjoy all the delights of Mercedes motoring with none of the drawbacks.
So the Mercedes SLK is one of the best luxury performance roadsters money can buy. It's packed full of gadgets, offers an unbeatable drive and an unrivalled level of comfort. In short, it's simply incredible!

Hotel Opera Zurich Guest Reviews (4)
Clean and well managed Boutique hotel, cetrally located, friendly and helpful staff. One small point which is easy to improve: the hot water kept in a self-heating kettle at the breakfast buffet for self service should be adjusted so that the water will be kept hot enough to properly activate the tea bags.
Johannes Lanz wrote on October 17, 2008
Great stay - very comfortable and friendly service at a very reasonable price.

the front desk service needs inprovment. the price may be a bit high for the lack of service in the hotel. if you need a bed and nothing more take it but for a weekend outing NO.
Anonymous wrote on December 19, 2005
We found the hotel to be welcoming and the staff courteous and helpful. Zurich is a beautiful city and the staff ensured that we had a map and that we knew how to get around. The Opera Hotel was extremely well presented and the appointments of a very high standard. We enjoyed our stay.

SPLC's Goldstein to Judges: Stop Deferring to School Administrators
December 13, 2011
In his latest column for The Huffington Post, Student Press Law Center Attorney Advocate Adam Goldstein makes a powerful argument against the longstanding judicial practice of granting school administrators substantial deference when reviewing their decisions in court.
Goldstein cites two excellent encapsulations of this common judicial posture. First, he notes a November speech by Judge Richard Posner of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, in which Judge Posner opined that "judges ought to be very cautious before they try to displace the authority of the school administrators." Second, Goldstein recalls a notorious line from Supreme Court Justice Byron White's all-too-familiar majority opinion in Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988): "The education of the Nation's youth is primarily the responsibility of parents, teachers, and state and local officials, and not of federal judges."
As Goldstein and I both know too well, it would be very easy indeed to populate this list further. But I'll add just one recent example: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's recent bow from the bench to administrators in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez. In her majority opinion, Justice Ginsburg summarized the practice nicely: "Cognizant that judges lack the on-the-ground expertise and experience of school administrators, however, we have cautioned courts in various contexts to resist substitut[ing] their own notions of sound educational policy for those of the school authorities which they review." (Internal quotation and citations omitted.)
So what's wrong with judges treating school administrators as though they're all-knowing masters of an impenetrably esoteric field, blessed with an expertise that renders their decisions beyond question? Well, as Goldstein wisely notes:
Educators are not perfect. And while education may be primarily the responsibility of educators, it is primarily the responsibility of judges to ensure the rights of young people are not violated in the process of education.
That's exactly right. Judges aren't school administrators; fair enough. But that sure doesn't mean that judges cannot or should not hold school administrators responsible when they throw the basic constitutional rights of students out the window. While we don't want judges grading papers and setting curriculum, there's surely no public benefit in simply giving school administrators a blank pass in the form of undue deference to every decision they make.
Arguing that it's long past time to "end this bizarre practice that assumes judges who are competent to decide whether a man lives or dies for his crimes are incompetent to decide whether a school administrator crossed a line in a strip-search," Goldstein continues:
I couldn't agree more. Check out Goldstein's excellent piece in full here.Of course education is primarily the responsibility of educators and parents. That doesn't mean judges are incompetent to ensure that the education students receive respects their basic civil rights.

These presentations are free and open to the public. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for either of these speaker series please contact Paula Ekcard at email@example.com or 704-687-4309.

Every spring the Women's and Gender Studies Program brings a nationally known speaker to campus to address issues that are central to women's and gender studies. Past speakers include international best-selling author Naomi Wolf, foremost African-American feminists bell hooks and Patricia Hill Collins, anti-sexist educator Jackson Katz, and writer and activist Gloria Steinem and Professor of Law Anita Hill.
This year we are proud to announce that Jessica Valenti will be our keynote speaker. Valenti is a hero to many young modern feminists. Called one of the "Top 100 Inspiring Women" in the world by The Guardian, Valenti is the founder of feministing.com and author of Full Frontal Feminism, The Purity Myth, He's a Stud and She's a Slut, Why Have Kids?, and Yes Means Yes. Notorious for her wit and defiance, Jessica Valenti has been featured on The Colbert Report, the Today show, CNN, MSNBC, and Anderson Live. In addition to her popular online activism, her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, The Nation and The Guardian, as well as in magazines such as Ms., Bitch and Salon.
Jessica Valenti will speak about "The Purity Myth" in Cone University Center's McKnight Hall on March 19 at 7:00 p.m. This will be followed by a book signing and dessert reception in the Lucas Room. This event is free and open to the public.
Every fall, the Women's and Gender Studies Program, the Multicultural Resource Center, the Counseling Center, and PRIDE co-sponsor OUTspoken, an LGBTQ speaker series that brings a nationally known speaker to campus to talk about gay, lesbian and/or transgender issues. Past OUTspoken guests include noted transgender queer youth activist Kate Bornstein, former Executive Director of the Human Rights Campaign Elizabeth Birch, and author and political commentator Keith Boykin, and Brian Sims, the only openly gay NCAA football captain, author/activist Jennifer Baumgardner and slam-poet and author Staceyann Chin.
Stay tuned to see who our 2013 OUTspoken speaker will be…

Blazers pursued Phil Jackson, Jerry Sloan
The Portland Trail Blazers pursued Hall-of-Fame coaches Phil Jackson and Jerry Sloan for their head coaching position and were spurned by both, according to a Comcast Sports Northwest report.
The Blazers offered Sloan the job this week, and pursued Jackson over the past few months, a source told Comcast Sports Northwest.
Blazers general manager Neil Olshey confirmed the team spoke with Jackson, but said, "He (Jackson) decided it wasn't time."
Kaleb Canales, who took over for the fired Nate McMillan last season, is the team's interim coach.

While it might be something of a misnomer to say that Tennesseans have opted out of the evolutionary process altogether (maybe), it's far more accurate to say that, as far as school learnin' goes, Tennesseans don't take kindly to the idea that human beings are descended from our extinct simian cousins.
In fact, we don't really take to it at all because it's not mandatory to learn in the first place in the state's school system.
Indeed, that evolution is only taught in high school biology classes as an elective is just one factor contributing to Tennessee's recent "D" grade from the obviously liberal and elitist Thomas B. Fordham Institute, whose "State of State Science Standards 2012" report found all manner of flaws with the dissemination of scientific methodology and information in the Volunteer State's classrooms.
American science performance is lagging as the economy becomes increasingly high tech, but our current science standards are doing little to solve the problem. Reviewers evaluated science standards for every state for this report and their findings were deeply troubling: The majority of states earned Ds or Fs for their standards in this crucial subject, with only six jurisdictions receiving As....
The Tennessee science standards are clearly written—but their linguistic clarity too often is undermined by statements that are so broad they starve the passages of meaning. To make matters more confusing, Tennessee offers a bewildering array of high school courses. Taken together, these drawbacks make it impossible to infer what a student in the Volunteer State will know (or at least be expected to know) upon graduation.
Confused as a monkey with a monolith? Scientific American breaks the results down (bold emphasis Pith's):
What exactly is going wrong? The study's lead authors identified four main factors: an undermining of evolution, vague goals, not enough guidance for teachers on how to integrate the history of science and the concept of scientific inquiry into their lessons, and not enough math instruction.Let's take these one by one. For evolution, the report points out that eight anti-evolution bills were introduced in six state legislatures last year. This year, two similar bills were pre-filed in New Hampshire and one in Indiana. "And these tactics are far more subtle than they once were," write the authors. "Missouri, for example, has asterisked all 'controversial' evolution content in the standards and relegated it to a voluntary curriculum that will not be assessed … Tennessee includes evolution only in an elective high school course (not the basic high school biology course)." Maryland, according to the report, includes evolution content but "explicitly excludes" crucial points about evolution from its state-wide tests.
Adding insult to injury, the usual rogue's gallery of mass societal dysfunction (aka the Deep South) scored as well or better than Tennessee, according to this depressing map.

"Until it installed" you say. But does that mean that you came back to the GUI, with ability to refresh the game list so as to see the new game in it ?
If that is what happened, then it should have worked properly.
But if that's not what happened, and if you just closed the window when the installation 'seemed' complete, but before being able to see the new game in a refreshed list, then I am afraid that you may have terminated the installer prematurely, while it was still writing some partition data. I'm not saying this happened, but this is one of very few alternatives that would explain this sort of failure. The others are, broken installer software, broken IDE interface in the Network Adapter, broken HDD. So take your pick...
Weird, but it does seem to indicate partition damage of some kind, as is possible if terminating a program in the process of updating partition tables, or if there is something wrong with that hdld_svr elf.I then tried opening it up in OPL but it just froze when I tried to load the hard drive. Then I tried HDloader which did actually show the game this time, however when I tried to boot/play the game it just took me to a black screen.
I then proceed to try to put another game on, but this time I got the "Not an APA partition" error again.
I'm not sure what you mean by "hdld" here. That particular abbreviation is only used in the name of the hdld_svr.elf program file, and that file does not exist with version 0.8.6.Is it possible that a problem is being caused because I am using hdld 0.8.6 instead of a newer version
Possibly you mean HDL_Dumx v0.8.6 which needs to work with hdld_svr v0.8.5 on the PS2.
Those are what I use myself, every time, and I've done so for years now.
Neither hdld_svr nor the rest of the HDL_Dumx package have ever been released with such version numbers.(I tried using 1.5 and 2.2 but I could get neither to open on windows xp)?
You must be thinking of some other GUI program for use with hdld_svr.elf. I sometimes use one named "HDL_Dump GUI v1.4", by vtecorona and this might actually exist with such higher version numbers as you mentioned (I'm pretty sure mine is not the latest).
If you are using such an alternate GUI, rather than the original HDL_Dumb, then it will still be using HDL_Dump.exe to reach the server on the PS2, and that should still match the version of HDL_Dump.exe, except for using the v0.8.5 server with HDL_Dump v0.8.6.
NB: Any other mismatch between HDL_Dump and hdld_svr is almost certain to cause corruption.
And using HDL_Dump and hdld_svr versions beyond 0.8.6 (meaning 0.9.x) would also be likely to cause corruption (though working at higher speed).
Something pretty basic seems to be going wrong with your HDD, though this has only shown itself with your usage of HDLoader and its installers. Those elfs are what I would primarily suspect, in addition to the HDD itself of course. I have heard that some HDDs are just not compatible, for unknown reasons, though I never saw it myself.I am not sure if I should keep pursuing this,
Yes. The current OPL betas work fine with ISOs for both DVD and CD games, and that is how I normally use all games in my collection, currently holding 225 such ISO files stored in the PS2SMB fileshare on my main PC, sorted into separate subfolders for "CD" and "DVD" respectively.maybe I should just go the filesharing route from my computer. dlanor you said there were beta revisions that support just plain isos?
But OPL betas are not available for download as binary executable files.
Each beta tester has to compile the program himself, using downloaded source code.
Others will have to wait for the next public release, which will include all current beta features, debugged and possibly further enhanced. No specific limit has yet been set for when the next public release will be made, so this is just a matter of patiently waiting...
Best regards: dlanor

Has anybody used Furazadrol on a reduced calorie diet solo???
I've never used it and I would like to try it but I've found most items I've taken only work for me when I use lots of carbs.
The one exception was 1AD but I felt like @ss for most of the cycle (though my strength increased as well as my body fat decreased).
Any input would be greatly appreciated...

With freshly minted centenarian Bob Hope — currently enjoying his last hurrah in the world's headlines — it scarcely matters anymore whether or not there is actually any "there" there. If there is, who still cares? And if there isn't, well, how is that news after all we've learned, from the likes of Kitty Kelley, Nick Tosches and Albert Goldman, about the soullessness, the harrowing emptiness of celebrity? Hope's "manufactured personality, constructed out of jokes," as writer Sherwood Schwartz once called it — with its trademark essences of laziness, craven cowardice, greed, easy treachery and simmering lust — is so close to anti-hagiography that in a sense he's already beaten the scandalmongers to the punch. Unless we belatedly discover that he was once a Communist agent — or a Catholic priest — little remains to be said against him that wasn't pre-emptively embedded in the mask he adopted to address the world, the mask lined with Super Glue, the one that stuck.
So the pursuit is what counts — the quest for "there," not "there" itself. There are so many layers to strip away on the journey toward the void at the center of the onion, and so many places where the name suddenly resurfaces, from battleships to off ramps, golf tournaments to theaters and even backyard roses, that shards of his celebrity are spread across the cultural, political, military and even horticultural horizons. Gathering up the shards doesn't give us the real Bob Hope, but it does take us on a staggering ride through the 20th century's cultural-political landscape. From Ellis Island to Broadway to Hollywood to the White House to Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait and beyond, Hope's life story seems not so much a catalog of events experienced or moments actually lived through as a lifelong attempt to achieve a Zelig-like omnipresence, aided by Thurmondian longevity and the ability to endure well past his cast-off date. No "there" there? What does it matter if you're always THERE, where it's at? In a media-saturated world, isn't emptiness always trumped by ubiquity?
Among the obvious layers are the protective props, the onstage fig leaves and security blankets: Hope's many golf clubs; his straw boaters, turbans and fezzes; the quasi-military uniforms; his glee-club blazer and absurd driving goggles in Son of Paleface (1952); even the cordon sanitaire of right-wing cuties — Anita Bryant, Joey Heatherton — who frolicked between him and the off-duty conscripts in Vietnam, a war whose declining fortunes paralleled Hope's own.
The chief layer is, of course, the mask itself: lovingly (and perhaps not so lovingly) shaped by Hope's squadron of jokesmiths into a veritable brand-name franchise, a shorthand for something American and confident, louche, lazy and lucky, a demeanor relentlessly upbeat and "hiya fellas!" It came into being after his protean moniker had segued from his given name, Leslie Hope, through Lester, Bill and Bobby before finally alighting on Bob, which sounded appropriately unsinkable. "It's no surprise his name is made up of two verbs," noted former gagman Larry Gelbart, remembering Hope's ravenously proactive pursuit of celebrity. Other writers recall that the image they shaped for him — the one that hit big on his 1938 Pepsodent radio show and underpinned every movie from The Road to Zanzibar (1941) to Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! (1966) — was essentially an unflattering compendium of Hope's own fame-hungry vanity and his tightwad pathologies, neatly tweaked for popular consumption.
The persona became the man, in both senses. Not only did our understanding of Hope become limited to the comedic face he presented to us, whether in Sorrowful Jones (1949) or The Seven Little Foys (1955), the persona itself was also the greatest, perhaps the only, artistic achievement of his career. It is a superbly agile creation, always fresh (well, back when . . .), always there with just the right cheap gibe or bouncy self-deprecation, supremely adaptable and enduring. He was the young Woody Allen's favorite comic, even more so than Groucho Marx, and he still stands as a sort of Low Protestant interregnum in the lineage between these two Jewish giants of the wisecrack. Hope deracinated a certain thread of glib, smart-ass Jewish humor — no doubt unconsciously — as he encountered it in the Orpheums of flickering, sepia-tinted vaudeville, and as usual with these things, his refinement was deemed the more "American," and it stuck. Even dimly apprehended through the cultural and comic accretions laid upon it by time, there's no doubting that Hope co-created one of the great comic touchstones of the mid–20th century. So that's your "there" right there, if you like.
But then there were the uses to which he put it. Hope's postwar career, after he'd found his parallel métier as gagman to the troops, became ever more entwined with the defense of the status quo — for which his comedy is really one never-ending pep rally. His name is affixed to that of "the Greatest Generation" like a mollusk to a rock, and as that generation's fortunes rose and declined, so too would Hope's. At war's end Hope was a sensation in movies and radio, and would soon conquer television. The 1940s "Road To" movies he produced and starred in with the stonehearted Bing Crosby — an asshole of almost infinite diameter, if his biographers are to be heeded — were hugely successful, as were his property investments, which netted him large tracts of land in Malibu, Palm Springs and the San Fernando Valley, the basis for his current net worth of between $100 million and $200 million. And he was by now a regular at the White House, where for 11 successive administrations he functioned as toastmaster and Presidential Little Buddy, class cutup, team mascot and towel manager.

West Virginia vs. Syracuse, 12/29/2012 15:15 EDT, Score: 14 - 38
Point Spread: -3½/-110 West Virginia
Sportsbook: DSI
Result: Loss
On Saturday in the Kraft Fight Hunger bowl we are on Navy. Game 231 at 4:00 eastern as we note that Military Bowlers off an ats loss have covered 17 of the last 19. Navy is a Computer Simulation winner in our models and has a huge ground edge here. There at least 6 different systems that I use pertaining to Arizona St and any team as this large of a favorite prior to New Years day. The Sun Devils have a first year head coach and these coaches just flat out struggle when asked to lay this many points losing the whole game outright at -10 or higher. Navy averages over 200 yards on the ground and should control the ground game and the clock. Arizona St is also in a good system that plays against favorites that are off back to back revenge wins. Navy may not win but we like them to cover this big Number. Take Navy
On Saturday in the Pinstripe Bowl the Selection is on West Virginia. Game 233 at 3:15 eastern. West Virginia projects as our Computer Simulation winner and they apply to a 19-0 straight up system that is 18-1 ats. We want to play on Certain Bowl favorites of 4 or less with less than 39 days rest off a win and scored 46 or more points in their last game. Where else would you even come close to seeing a system of that magnitude? This system cashed both times last year. West Virginia has better rushing numbers on both sides of the ball and the better overall offense. The Syracuse defense rates better on paper, but So did the UCLA Defense last night and Baylor rose up and played well. I expect the same from WVU here today. Look for West Virginia to win and cover.
