Johan you said exactly what I had been trying to say. I have mostly read about Plains Indians and Indians of the Southwest especially the Navajo. Growing up in California we studied the Southwest Indians in school. Of course many stereotypes were taught to us . I have continued my love of those Indians and have visited the Navajo Reservation many times. If you have not read Kit Carson and the Indians read it . It deals with many of the issues you mentione. One of the themes stressed is the "Indian" is not one group. I always wondered if the Lakota in Dances were actually saying what we thought they were saying . I love it that they weren't. As much as I liked The Searchers I almost lost it a couple of months ago when I watched it for the first time since I saw it as a child. There were Navajo women wearing Navajo traditional dress speaking Navajo playing Comanche . Of course the whole thing was supose to be Texas and there was Monument Valley in the background. I would never whack you with a ruler. My comment was about postings that were unreadable with multitude of errors. I am a poor speller myself but do try to check my spelling before posting. Besides I need you around to bust those kneecaps when I need them busted. lol. Susan Last edited on Wed Mar 12th, 2008 04:30 pm by susansweet |

I would agree on Carson's book, it is one of the few period books w/ a legitimate honest look at the Native American of the time. I spent three years of my HS career on the Reservation CRST (Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe) in SD. What I learned was & is priceless. When I watched Dances w/ my HS friend Ishone (Lakota was her first language, she learned English in K-3) she was laughing so hard she peed her pants. The jokes and slams on Kevin & the govt are pretty hillarious. I asked her to translate once but she just started giggling and told me it was safer not to know. Several of my teachers and fellow students were extras, my best friends father was a language & cultural consultant. It really is ironic though that I believe the most balanced and honest view of the Native American came from Louis L'amour. Found out recently that my 1st grade teach was one of the last of her kind, she would wack you on the knuckles w/ an old wooden pointer if you sassed back, made bad spelling errors on the chalk board, or god forbid picked up and used a pencil or pen w/ your left hand. She would spank kids in the classroom, but IIRC the most common punishment was to stand against the blackboard w/ your hands in your hip pockets and your nose holding up a piece of paper. Funny at first; but it got old real fast. No one EVER got sent to the principals office; he was a pushover. Things have changed a wee bit. IIRC she had started teaching in a one room classroom in the late 30's. She refused to retire, my mother says the state mandatory retired her in 82 or so and I think she died a year or so later. My mother was a special ed teach for thirty years, my better half teached in a "Special Needs" classroom. Her students are all physically or mentally challenged; I couldn't do it and she won't be after the baby shows up. |

God bless your mother and wife. Working with special needs kids takes a special kind of person. I worked with special needs kids at the high end. I taught gifted kids for 20 years. Little kids that knew a lot but didn't know how they knew it. Had a sense of humor that was unreal but used it sometimes at the wrong time. Kids that were so adult one minute and then next sooo immmature. I loved the challenge everyday . Bright kids some of them no motivation , others highly motivated. What an amazing experience you had Johan. How lucky you were . Wow you had an interesting first grade teacher too. I started teaching during the period corporal punishment was allowed. I used it the first year I taught . I was young and doing what others told me to do. I hated it . My third year I was teaching kindergarten and one of my kids was on my last nerve with his behavior. I said to him, "Otis, do I have to spank you? I have had to give anyone a spanking in months. If I have to I will and it will make me cry." He was such a cute kid, a little slow . He looked at me with serious brown eyes and said ," Nope don't want you to cry." He straightened up . I soon learned there was the look, and other punishments that worked well . No more spankings or other such punishments. Never used the paper with the nose on the wall , Did have a time out chair with a timer . Also the kid that had soo much energy use to at least one a day have to run to the wall and back. Got the extra energy out and he was able to work again. Oh and the spitter . He had to spit til he couldn't spit anymore. Susan |

Bama: I'm a tad older than you, and in high school there was no corporal punishment except to tell your father. Had your shop teacher tried that schtick on one of the Donovan or MacDonald or Heinemann boys, he'd be shopping for a bridge. This was in a decidedly rural area in an era when the worst thing you could do to a kid was to complain to his father. No teacher touched a kid, ever. Some dropped out when they couldn't stomach school any more, but no kid ever challenged a teacher in my six years of high school. (That's a joke, son.) ole |

Ole.. walk down the halls of a school today , Much Much different .. Kids will do and say almost anything to an adult from flat out lie and worse. I am a youth sponsor and expressed my concerns to a parent and he chewed me out for bothering him with it, another wanted me to fix her kid for her. I fear we have hijacked this thread BIG time |

Nah younglobo we just need to keep to the theme. I owe the Apache HUGE for getting me out of jury duty. It was a rape case and defence asked me what I thought should be done to rapists. My reply: "I believe we should follow the example of the Apache." Judge wanted me to expound; I did and suffice it to say the defence didn't want me on the jury. I can't imagine why; all it entailed was the guilty, a stick covered in honey and an anthill. |

Now that is a good excuse for getting off jury duty Johan . I like the idea though , would be a good punishment. I can just imagine what all the others in the room were thinking !!!! The first jury case I was called to was the murder by shotgun of two 14 year old girls walking down a canyon road. It was the penalty phase of the trial. I was a nervous wreck sitting there facing the guy . My boy friend at the time told me to tell the court when they asked me that I believed they should "fry the bast*rd.!" I told him I couldn't say that . So instead I paraphased it To I think anyone that harms a child should be put to death. I was dismissed . Susan |

Remote Desktop Protocol
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft, which provides a user with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection. The user employs RDP client software for this purpose, while the other computer must run RDP server software.
Clients exist for most versions of Microsoft Windows (including Windows Mobile), Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, and other modern operating systems. RDP servers are built into Windows operating systems; an RDP server for Linux also exists. By default, the server listens on TCP port 3389.[1]
Microsoft currently refers to their official RDP server software as Remote Desktop Services, formerly "Terminal Services". Their official client software is currently referred to as Remote Desktop Connection, formerly "Terminal Services Client".
The protocol is an extension of the ITU-T T.128 application sharing protocol.[2]
Every Windows version beginning with Windows XP[3] includes an installed Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) ("Terminal Services") client (mstsc.exe) whose version is determined by that of the operating system or last applied Windows Service Pack. The Terminal Services server is supported as an official feature on Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000 Server, all editions of Windows XP except Windows XP Home Edition, Windows Server 2003, Windows Home Server, on Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, in Windows Vista Ultimate, Enterprise and Business editions, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and on Windows 7 Professional and above.[citation needed]
Microsoft provides the client required for connecting to newer RDP versions for downlevel operating systems. Since the server improvements are not available downlevel, the features introduced with each newer RDP version only work on downlevel operating systems when connecting to a higher version RDP server from these older operating systems, and not when using the RDP server in the older operating system.
Version 4.0[edit]
Based on the ITU-T T.128 application sharing protocol (during draft also known as "T.share") from the T.120 recommendation series, the first version of RDP (named version 4.0) was introduced by Microsoft with "Terminal Services", as a part of their product Windows NT 4.0 Server, Terminal Server Edition. The Terminal Services Edition of NT 4.0 relied on Citrix's MultiWin technology, previously provided as a part of Citrix WinFrame atop Windows NT 3.51, in order to support multiple users and login sessions simultaneously. Microsoft required Citrix to license their MultiWin technology to Microsoft in order to be allowed to continue offering their own terminal services product, then named Citrix MetaFrame, atop Windows NT 4.0. The Citrix provided DLLs included in Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Services Edition still carry a Citrix copyright rather than a Microsoft copyright. Later versions of Windows integrated the necessary support directly. The T.128 application sharing technology was acquired by Microsoft from UK software developer Data Connection Limited.[4][5]
Version 5.0[edit]
This version was introduced with Windows 2000 Server, added support for a number of features, including printing to local printers, and aimed to improve network bandwidth usage.
Version 5.1[edit]
This version was introduced with Windows XP Professional, included support for 24-bit color and sound. The client is available for Windows 2000, Windows 9x, Windows NT 4.0.[6] With this version, the name of the client was changed from Terminal Services Client to Remote Desktop Connection.
Version 5.2[edit]
This version was introduced with Windows Server 2003, included support for console mode connections, a session directory, and local resource mapping. It also introduces Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 for server authentication, and to encrypt terminal server communications.[7] This version is built into Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Windows Server 2003 x64 & x86 Editions.
Version 6.0[edit]
This version was introduced with Windows Vista and incorporated support for Windows Presentation Foundation applications, Network Level Authentication, multi-monitor spanning and large desktop support, and support for TLS 1.0 connections. [8] Version 6.0 client is available for Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1/SP2 (x86 and x64 editions) and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Macintosh OS X is also available with support for Intel and PowerPC Mac OS versions 10.4.9 and greater.
Version 6.1[edit]
This version was released in February 2008 and is included with Windows Server 2008, as well as with Windows Vista Service Pack 1. The client is included with Windows XP Service Pack 3. It is also installable through KB952155 for Windows XP SP2.[9] In addition to changes related to how a remote administrator connects to the "console",[10] this version incorporates new functionality introduced in Windows Server 2008, such as connecting remotely to individual programs and a new Terminal Services Easy Print driver, a new client-side printer redirection system that makes the client's full print capabilities available to applications running on the server, without having to install print drivers on the server.[11]
Version 7.0[edit]
This version was released to manufacturing in July 2009 and is included with Windows Server 2008 R2, as well as with Windows 7.[12] With this release, the server name was also changed from Terminal Services to Remote Desktop Services. This version incorporates new functionality such as Windows Media Player redirection, bidirectional audio, true multimonitor support, Aero glass support, enhanced bitmap acceleration (which improves user experience over high latency network connections), Easy Print redirection,[13] Language Bar docking. The RDP 7.0 client is available on Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista SP1/SP2 through KB969084.[14] RDP 6.1 client and RDP 7.0 client are not supported on Windows Server 2003 x86 and Windows Server 2003 / Windows XP Professional x64 editions. RDP 7.0 clients also do not support connecting to terminal servers running Windows 2000 Server.[15]
Most RDP 7.0 features like Aero glass remoting, bidirectional audio, Windows Media Player redirection, true multiple monitor support, Remote Desktop Easy Print are only available in Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate editions.[16][17]
Version 7.1[edit]
This version appeared in Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 SP1. It adds RemoteFX functionality.
Version 8.0[edit]
This version appeared in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. This version incorporates new functionality such as Adaptive Graphics, Intelligent Transports, Multi Touch support, Adaptive Network Auto Detect and more.[18] The RDP 8.0 client is also available as an add-on for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.[19] Server 2012 can support up to RDC 6.0.
- 32-bit color support. 8-, 15-, 16-, and 24-bit color are also supported.
- 128-bit encryption, using the RC4 encryption algorithm, as of Version 6.[20]
- Audio Redirection allows users to run an audio program on the remote desktop and have the sound redirected to their local computer.
- File System Redirection allows users to use their local files on a remote desktop within the terminal session.
- Printer Redirection allows users to use their local printer within the terminal session as they would with a locally or network shared printer.
- Port Redirection allows applications running within the terminal session to access local serial and parallel ports directly.
- The clipboard can be shared between the remote computer and the local computer.
- Seamless Windows: Remote applications can run on a client machine that is served by a Remote Desktop connection. It is available since RDP 6.[21]
- RemoteFX: RemoteFX provides virtualized GPU support and host side encoding and is being shipped as part of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
The following features were introduced with the release of RDP 6.0 in 2006:
- Remote Programs: Application publishing with client-side file type associations.
- Terminal Services Gateway: Enables the ability to use a front-end IIS server to accept connections (over port 443) for back-end Terminal Services servers via an https connection, similar to how RPC over https allows Outlook clients to connect to a back-end Exchange 2003 server. Requires Windows Server 2008
- Network Level Authentication
- Support for remoting the Aero Glass Theme (or Composed Desktop), including ClearType font smoothing technology.
- Support for remoting of Windows Presentation Foundation applications: Compatible clients that have .NET Framework 3.0 support will be able to display full Windows Presentation Foundation effects on a local machine.
- Rewrite of device redirection to be more general-purpose, allowing a greater variety of devices to be accessed.
- Fully configurable and scriptable via Windows Management Instrumentation.
- Improved bandwidth tuning for RDP clients.[citation needed]
- Support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 on both server and client ends (can be negotiated if both parties agree, but is not mandatory in a default configuration of any version of Windows).
- Multiple monitor support for allowing one session to use multiple monitors on the client (disables desktop composition)
Security issues[edit]
The RDP protocol in its default configuration is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack. Administrators can enable transport layer encryption to mitigate this risk.[22] [23]
RDP sessions are also susceptible to in-memory credential harvesting, which can be used to launch pass the hash attacks.
In March 2012, Microsoft released an update for a critical security vulnerability in the RDP protocol. The vulnerability allowed a Windows computer to be compromised by unauthenticated clients and computer worms.[24]
RDP client version 6.1 can be used to reveal the names and pictures of all users on the RDP Server (no matter which Windows version) in order to pick one, if no username is specified for the RDP connection.
Non-Microsoft implementations[edit]
There are numerous non-Microsoft implementations of RDP clients and servers that implement subsets of the Microsoft functionality. For instance, the open-source command-line client rdesktop is available for Linux/Unix and Microsoft Windows operating systems. There are many GUI clients, like tsclient and KRDC, that are built on top of rdesktop; CoRD is such a client for the Macintosh. In 2009, rdesktop was forked as FreeRDP, a new project aiming at modularizing the code, addressing various issues, and implementing new features.[citation needed] FreeRDP comes with its own command-line-client xfreerdp, which supports Seamless Windows in RDP6. There's also a GTK-Application named Remmina.
An open-source implementation of a Remote Desktop Protocol server on Linux is xrdp. The Windows' Remote Desktop Connection client can be used to connect to a server running xrdp. Proprietary RDP client solutions such as rdpclient are available as a stand-alone application or embedded with client hardware.
A new access paradigm, browser-based access, has enabled users to access Windows desktops and applications on any RDP hosts, such as Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDS) Session Hosts (Terminal Services) and virtual desktops. There are now solutions that run directly within a browser, for example Ericom AccessToGo which is a free RDP client.
There is also a so-called VRDP protocol used in the VirtualBox virtual machine implementation by Oracle. This protocol is compatible with all RDP clients, such as that provided with Windows but, unlike the original RDP protocol, can be configured to accept unencrypted and password unprotected connections, which may be useful in secure and trusted networks, such as home or office LANs. By default, Microsoft's RDP server refuses connections to user accounts with empty passwords (but this can be changed with the Group Policy Editor[25]). External and guest authorization options are provided by VRDP as well. It does not matter which operating system is installed as a guest because VRDP is implemented on the virtual machine (host) level, not in the guest system. The proprietary VirtualBox Extension Pack is required.

Added complexity comes from a nutty touch. The youthful palate is immediately fruity, with strong tropical and stone fruit flavors, leading to a very long finish.
This wine will mature into the medium-term, producing a rich, rolling, generous and complex wine, balanced by long, clean, refreshing acidity. Given time to prove its longevity, and most importantly, not served overchilled, The Hermit Crab should show an intense, complex nuttiness, with an emphasis on cashews and butterscotch, while still retaining a fragrant, mineral character.
One of the undisputed kings of Australian Shiraz and Rhone varietals, d'Arenberg has managed to turn individuality into an art form by doing a whole lot of little things differently. The original vineyards were established by Joseph Osborn in 1912 in the McLaren Vale region of South Australia. A century on, the estate has grown to 345 acres, and the mantle now rests with fourth...Read More About d'Arenberg
McLaren Vale is home to the oldest Australian vineyard, with grapes planted in 1838. It's a coastal area, the Indian Ocean bordering the west, which leads to a cooling factor that prevents the grapes from getting too hot. In all, the climate is a perfect one for the vines. Notable Facts In McLaren Vale, there are vines as far as the eye can see. As in other parts of...Read More About McLaren Vale
White Rhone blends consist of two or more white grapes from its namesake region. This includes Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc. Other white grapes may be included in miniscule amounts, but the above four are the principles. In the Rhone, Viognier is typically alone in the Northern Rhone and absent in the Southern Rhone, although, in the north, 20% of the variety...Read More About Rhone White Blends

On hand for the event were Oscar nominee and Broadway veteran Julianne Moore, the author of the popular Freckleface Strawberry book series, which is based on her own life, along with her 9-year old-daughter Liv; Tony Award winner Billy Crudup with his 8-year-old son Atticus; and Emmy Award winner Tina Fey, who brought her 6-year-old daughter Alice.
At the event, Moore and Fey briefly chatted with TheaterMania about their love for children's theater and the possibility of their own talents gracing the New York stage in the near future.
THEATERMANIA: Tina, you're seeing Peter PANtomime today? What is your favorite memory of Peter Pan?
TINA FEY: All of my favorite Peter Pan memories are actually memories of sharing it with Alice as she was growing up. She went through a serious, probably two and-a-half-year intensive Peter Pan phase, where it was all we read and all we talked about every single day. I was Wendy once for Halloween with Alice, and she was Peter Pan and her daddy [writer and musician Jeff Richmond] was Captain Hook.
TM: When are we going to see you on the Broadway stage?
TF: Oh my goodness, I would love to do that someday! My husband is a composer and he's had shows up in Chicago and here at Ars Nova when we first moved here. I still have aspirations to do a Mean Girls musical, but we can't do anything until my TV series, 30 Rock ends.
TM: What would be your dream stage role?
TF: Marlene in Caryl Churchill's Top Girls. Definitely.

Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, developed a new line of green DDR3 modules that use 38% less PCB material and 47% less packaging material than the company's standard DDR3 DIMMs. In this product line Super Talent has taken two major steps toward developing more eco-friendly DRAM. Using JEDEC standard schematics Super Talent developed very low profile (VLP) DDR3 unbuffered DIMMs for use in standard DDR3 based x86 motherboards. These DIMMs use 38% less FR4 material, which is the fiber glass epoxy substrate most PCBs are made of, and one-third less copper. These DIMMs have already been tested exhaustively with a variety of hardware and software to ensure they meet Super Talent's rigid quality standards, and are backed with Super Talent's lifetime warranty. Super Talent also redesigned their package for these green DIMMs to use about half as much plastic in a clamshell that occupies 57% less volume. These reductions in material usage result in a packaged module that weighs 35% less than a standard DDR3 packaged DIMM, which translates to significant savings in shipping costs. "Our goal with these green DDR3 DIMMs is to offer a greener memory choice for regular desktops that uses less raw materials, produces less industrial waste and consumes less fuel to transport with absolutely no tradeoffs in functionality or price", explained Super Talent Director of Marketing, Joe James. "When multiplied by the hundreds of thousands of memory modules we produce monthly, this can have an enormous environmental impact." Super Talent's first green 1066 and 1333 MHz 1GB and 2GB DIMMs will begin shipping in September.
Nice idea. If they are also a bit cheaper, then there is no reason to buy the bigger sticks for mainstream computers.
less copper could make them OC less, and it would give them less metal to spread around. Thing is they'd definately be cheaper to produce, and lighter/smaller too - that cuts down transportation costs.
Kingston has been doing this for like a year now. Nothing new. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134487
i dont see anything about that kingston model using less copper and being green? it does look small in the image, at least - but its DDR2, when this is DDR3
They don't specifically advertise it, but the RAM does use less copper and less PCB material. They did it to cut cost to sell them for cheaper...which is why they ended up in Wally World at a ridiculous markup of like 215% cause Wally world sucks. I mean, I see your point, but the fact is the Kingston RAM does use less material to make just as these new Super Talent RAM does.
well alright then. super talent arent first with this idea, they just seem first to apply it to DDR3.
Sorry I wasn't trying to be mean or nothing. You guys are awesome and am just a lowly sea urchin absorbing knowledge and poisoning random things I think are predators. Its just I haven't seen Kingston's name mentioned on TPU....well ever and they are one of the best RAM makers unless I missed something. I just wanted give them a little credit.
nah. your point just wasnt clear. Kingston would make news if they emailed it out to the press.. either they arent at present, or they arent emailing it to TPU
I don't think they are sending press info. to anyone. They kinda dropped off the map before I started coming here for my Tech news. And I know they are releasing new products. Hell the HyperX series got a new heatsink design not 2 month ago. Anyway, way to lead the market Super Talent. Just pass the savings on to us consumers and I know what kind of RAM I will be buying next.
Chip might be green but the package is far from it. It uses the normal sized box and on top of that over-sized plastic that could fit 4 of those modules. So they only save on the memory module, nothing on shipping.
Very true, but Super Talent will defiinitely be using less material for packing. I am hoping this brings DDR3 RAM back down in price. When I bought my sticks there were $50 for the pack. Now they are $75 with no free shipping. This will make it cheaper for them and hopefull us.
Who cares? You're looking at 1000-2000 for an i7/hi end C2D rig anyways. 750W PSU...who the hell cares about a bloody PCB size?
Us AMD guys do because we are looking for price to performance ratio. If these sticks give the same performance as other sticks, but say $20 cheaper, then I am buying these. The competition will then have to bring their price down to match in the same price range. Making things cheaper for everyone. So giving this will ultimately make DDR3 RAM cheaper....I say everyone should care.
Cool idea, *idea*... IME the short style ram sticks tend to burn out at a much higher rate. So if we consider the added rate of failure is it really more "green" or is it just something that saves them a few bucks and makes them look good? Beyond that, I hope they get smaller and keep the reliability and performance.

WATERTOWN - Watertown police say thieves stole chalices, a gold cross, gold-plated Bibles and a safe during a break-in at a Greek Orthodox church.
Police say a thief or thieves removed a vent and smashed the glass behind it to enter Taxiarchae/Archangels Greek Orthodox Church through a boiler room door in the basement.
The burglary took place between about 10 p.m. Tuesday when a church meeting broke up and 7 a.m. Wednesday when a cleaner showed up for work and noticed a church office in disarray.
Police say the small drop safe with cash inside was bolted to the floor.

Tech Firms Squeezing Conflict Minerals Out of Supply Chains
"Blood phones" -- and other electronic devices made with minerals sourced from the war-torn eastern Congo -- are in shorter supply, thanks to the cooperation of many tech firms. Conflict minerals include tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold -- essential components in electronic as well as in other products. These minerals can be found in the Congo region as well as other parts of the world.
The tech industry is making strides in developing supply chains and products that are free of conflict minerals from eastern Congo, although for some companies, progress still needs to be made, according to a report by Enough, the project to end genocide and crimes against humanity.
For the second year, it ranked companies according to their performance in this area in a report called "Taking Conflict Out of Consumer Gadgets: Company Rankings on Conflict Minerals 2012."
Four electronics companies -- Intel, HP, Motorola Solutions and Apple -- have established conflict minerals programs that should be models for the rest of the industry, according to the report.
The next tier of companies -- SanDisk, Philips, Sony, Panasonic, RIM and AMD -- have significantly improved their conflict-free efforts through such activities as tracing back into their supply chains, piloting due diligence, and joining a smelter audit program.
Lowest on the list is Nintendo, which has yet to make any known effort to trace or audit its supply chain, according to Enough.
"Following legislation passed a year-and-a-half ago and a growing consumer movement that includes more than 100 university campuses, leading electronics companies have read the writing on the wall and got out in front of this important issue of conflict minerals," Sasha Lezhnev, Enough senior policy analyst and co-author of the report, told TechNewsWorld.
A lot of progress still needs to be made, he said, but what has occurred so far is very heartening.
A History of Pain
Conflict minerals include tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold -- essential components in electronic as well as in other products. These minerals can be found in the Congo region as well as other parts of the world. Profits from the export of Congolese minerals typically fund armed groups in the eastern part of the country, which has been devastated by a war that so far has claimed 5.4 million lives -- hence the name "conflict minerals."
A year-and-a-half ago, the Dodd Frank financial reform legislation passed in the U.S. with a provision requiring companies to trace and audit certain minerals to ascertain their sources. If they were coming from the Congo, companies would have to submit a conflict minerals report, including such information as the trade route and which mine the minerals were taken from.
"It is not an import ban," Lezhnev said. "A U.S. company can source directly from the rebels if they want -- they just have to report it under Dodd Frank."
Many parts of Dodd-Frank have been languishing ever since it was passed, though, waiting for the rule-writing stage, and the conflict minerals disclosure requirement has been one of them. That will change on Aug. 22, when the Securities and Exchange Commission takes up this provision along with a few others to write the rules.
"There are a number of different options for the rules," Lezhnev explained. "Retailers and jewelers and mining companies may or may not be included. Some industry lobbyists have actually called for an open-ended phase-in period."
Progress Has Been Made
What is heartening is the lead the top electronics companies are taking with this issue even without rules in place, said Lezhnev. It is doubtful these firms would backtrack if the SEC were to write broad regulations -- but it wouldn't be fair for the rest of the industry.
"Microsoft, GE and Panasonic, just to give one example, are taking a strong stand by rebuking the Chamber of Commerce for threatening to sue the SEC over these rules," Lezhnev pointed out. "If the SEC writes weak rules, these companies and others, such as HP and Intel, "will be carrying the rest of the industry's water."
The Specter of Public Opinion
It is not likely that mainstream consumers will rise up and demand change if the SEC does write watered-down rules, David Johnson, principal with Strategic Vision, told TechNewsWorld.
"This is not something on most people's radars, unless you are a tech geek or a college student," he remarked. Or a financial analyst.
"Financial analysts are looking closely at this issue because the rules will have an impact no matter how loose they are," noted Johnson. "Right now, I would say the financial analyst market is probably a more important PR target for a group like the Enough project than the mainstream public."

Hey, EPA; Thwap!
A government agency has mandated that refiners use a certain biofuel that isn´t available. That kind of action explains a lot why we are going down the toilet bowl.
Phantom biofuels for Marxist EPA.Need to prosecute Lisa Jackson for her coercive use of positio while violating laws with secret email account.Who would benefit financially from these credits?
"However, the decision did not strike down EPA mandates for refiners to use other renewable fuels, like ethanol and biodiesel, into gasoline."Court ruling was a partial victory for consumers. However, the EPA madness that we burn corn in cars is still in place. Risk now is that EPA increases its 10% ethanol requirement to 15% to 20% to buy votes in Iowa and other corn growing states. Ethanol reduces automobile gas mileage while raising costs of gasoline, a double hammer on consumers.
Ethanol ruined the motor on my boat to the tune of $3,000.00 and has cost me numerous trips to a lawn equipment mechanic due to gummed up engines.
Tell me please..What is this rulings affect on the proposed airline requirements to fly on Unicorn Breath by 2014? Will this slow the compulsory introduction of Di-Lithium propulsion and Mandatory issuance/purchase of the Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor? "Hope is not a strategy, nor much of a Plan"
LOL!!! That this headline expresses what is but common sense says all ANYONE needs to know about 0bama´s policy dream fantasies and the relevance of the disasterous EPA!Defund ALL beltway agencies which do more harm than good. ...There is quite a lengthy list.
Put science in the hands of no-nothing politicians and lawyers and you wind up with a mandate for unobtainium!
I am still waiting patiently for someone to explain something. For all of our brave talk of freedom, how did things come to this? How is it that unelected, unelected bureaucrats have the power to issue diktats with the force of law, regulations that are idiotic yet affect millions of us? I can understand LAWS, voted on by the bicameral national legislature and agreed to by the chief executive. But this path of rule by decree of apparatchiks has not only got to stop, it must be utterly invalidated. I will never again support any candidate who is the leas comfortable with legislation that cedes implementation authority to some government bureau.With respect to this particular idiocy, what are the names of all the imbeciles involved? What day were they fired? If not, why not?
A Judge needs to rule the alphabet organizations of the Executive can´t mandate anything. That´s merely legislation by surreptitious means.
"The EPA announces new restrictions on the use of unobtainium"
Typical dem...make the laws so complicated no one can understand them, then sue for not complying with a non-existent fuel...
And-and, then we at EPA want some muti-mile magic fairy dust to be added that makes gasoline go a hundred miles more on a gallon, and then we wan´em to put in some elf powders than make cars as light as a feather and then they haf´ta put in some gremlin goo that makes the exhaust fumes smell like fresh cherry pies and then . . . .What a bunch of childish idiots working at the EPA! And to think, they rule over us with an iron fist, too.

So it finally happened to us. We had something stolen from us after all I have done to make certain it was a safe trip. I had a couple to many Green Stripes one evening and went to bed with the cameras on the front porch of Heartbeat almost a month ago now. It was a long day really and we had spent the day at the beach and all over town taking photos and video to add to our collection. I had taken some great sunset photos and was going to load them to the site the next day. I lost some nice pictures and video plus any chance of documenting the last month here and our move to a new apartment.
It's been a real bummer and the primary reason I have not written much. The camera and photo taking kinda inspired my blogging and having them both stolen really hurt me. I've been a few places and done a few things since but not having a camera to record experiences has been upsetting to say the least. Lessons learned on double checking my safety before we go to sleep. I left us open to the loss by leaving valuables on the porch over night. I'm sure someone drifted through and took advantage of an opportunity. Sadly the camera is now most likely useless because I have the cables, batteries and accessories to run it and I bet no one will make the effort needed to replace them here. I have no idea who it was ort where they went to but I asked a few folks in the neighborhood to lookout for them. Most people acted shocked it would happen but then soon came around to the fact crack heads roam properties on occasion to take advantage of open windows and more.
So my blogging has been slow since I lost my camera but I'm going to start writing again. We're heading back to the states for the holidays and I have a lot to clear up still. if you live in Negril and you fgind my cameras please contact me

You are DISGUSTING!
California Fish and Game President Dan Richards Kills a Mountain Lion and Violates a State Law...But Not For the Kill
What happens when you shoot and kill a mountain lion in Idaho? Well, nothing, it's legal -- hence the Flying B Ranch providing mountain lion hunting trips on their property for the price of $6,800 per hunter. The problem for Dan Richards, the president of the California Fish and Game Commission who shot and killed a mountain lion on Flying B's property, is not that he killed the mountain lion but that he violated California State law by going on this free hunting trip in the first place.
The law states that no public official can take gifts worth more than $420 a year. However, Richards already repaid the Flying B ranch the $6,800 hunting fee, so he's not being charged with the $5,000 worth of fines that breaking the law would have cost him.
The San Jose Mercury News reports that Gary Winuck, the enforcement chief for the California Fair Political Practices Commission, wrote in a warning letter to Richards on Thursday, "Because you did repay the donor relatively soon after the receipt of the gift, although after the 30-day window for repayment prescribed by the act, we have decided to close the case."
Richards did himself no favors when he sent the above photo of himself smiling widely while holding the dead lion to Western Outdoor News, a hunting newspaper, and telling the paper, "I'm glad it's legal in Idaho."
Killing a mountain lion may be legal in Idaho, but Richards has created many problems for himself in California by doing so. The News reports that animal welfare groups, 40 Democratic Assembly members and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom have all called for Richards to resign, stating that he "ignored the will of California voters, who banned the hunting of mountain lions for sport in 1990 when they passed Proposition 117."
ThePetitionSite.com has put a petition up to have Richards removed. On their site, they state: "Richards is a questionable choice to serve in such a role for California's Fish and Game Commission. As his biography notes, Richards is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. But now Richards has really 'gone over the line,' says The California Majority Report, after shooting a mountain lion in Idaho; it is illegal to do this in California."
The petition had 4,618 signatures as of this post.
GlobalAnimal.org is also urging people to contact California legislators to remove Richards from office.

Oh, you are such a big brave
Oh, you are such a big brave man. You used hounds to track the cougar up a tree where it was trapped. You can't even hunt on your own!!! What an idiot.
I don't get it? How can you
I don't get it? How can you be happy to kill a life?
I don't get it? How can you
I don't get it? How can you be happy to kill a life?
Ex-California Fish and Game
Ex-California Fish and Game President Dan Richards is the ultimate coward hiding behind a rifle. A true so-called hunter would try to take the animal down with no weapons. However, a real, compassionate evolved man would connect the dots and instead of committing murder, violence and cruelty would help save these endangered beautiful animals. Such low vibration for a human and bad karma. Our commandments don't say "thou shall not kill" except for animals. May he suffer all the pain he has inflicted in this lifetime for eternity until he learns true compassion.
What an imbecile of Human
What an imbecile of Human life, deserve exactly the same. I'd volunteer, gladly.
Bastard...how could he be
Bastard...how could he be proud of himself for killing a treed animal..complete scumbag!
This man is a asshole,
This man is a asshole, behause he kill a nice animal and smile!

LGC readying refunds — with a little something for itself
The agency's interim executive director defended the refund, but it drew a rebuke from a state regulator and from LGC's critics.
"We're a member," he said. "The order says every member gets money back."
A state law, RSA 5-b, says that any public risk pool money not used for administration, claims, reserves and purchasing re-insurance must be returned "to the participating political subdivisions."
Not so, said Barry Glennon, director of the state Bureau of Securities Regulation. He said LGC's bylaws, in defining who is eligible to participate in the public risk pool, differentiate LGC and its subsidiaries from the entities covered by the definition of a political subdivision under state law.
LGC's critics said the agency should remove itself from any surplus returns.

I am planning to build a Roldarka from yostwerks.com this is my first build so please forgive me.http://yostwerks.com/RoldarkaOffsets.html
I have encountered a problem:
I am trying to make the templates for the cross sections from the offsets here:
However when i got them onto paper, i realised that there is no way i can fit my legs and body in there. I am 6' with a 32" waist and 34" legs. I am fairly slim but have cyclist thighs. my feet are size 11, and there is no way they will fit inside the current dimensions of the kayak.
Obviously, the plans can be scaled up or down depending on the size of the person the kayak is designed for. How do i do this, and how do i know how big to make it?
Thanks for your time

99 silverado transfer case problems
Hi I'm new to this forum and new to this truck. I have a 1999 with the 246 t case. I recently bought this truck for my 17 year old son and the 4 wheel drive will not engage. When I push the four wheel low or high button I can hear the actuator working and the light stays on but the front drive shaft is not turning. I jacked up the back of the truck to see if the front would engage and pull the truck but I got no movement of the drive shaft at all. I did hear and feel a clunking noise that seems to be coming from the transfer case. Is there Anything else that I should check before I buy and put in a new t case?

There have been a lot of known issues with the 246 transfer case. One of the first things you will want to do is check that there is oil in the case. One of the main problems is that a pin hole will develop in the case slowly leaking out the oil until it's dry. If there is not any oil, it's likely that it has leaked itself dry. Of course, we all know what no oil can do to gears, bearings, clutches, etc. I had that same issue with my transfer case in my 00 Sierra.

Anthony Weiner, who once led the field of Democratic candidates for New York City mayor before the reemergence of a "sexting" scandal rocked his campaign, is currently in fourth place, a poll released Thursday showed.
The New York Times/Siena poll was the second survey showing the former congressman running behind three Democratic other hopefuls in the Big Apple. A Quinnipiac University poll released at the end of July also indicated Weiner had fallen in the aftermath of scandal.
In Thursday's survey, 25% of Democratic primary voters backed City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, while 16% supported former Comptroller Bill Thompson and 14% backed Public Advocate Bill de Blasio. Weiner was at 10%.
In the poll, no candidate reached the 40% threshold needed to avoid a run-off.
Weiner admitted in July to sending raunchy messages and photos to women online as early as last summer. He left Congress in 2011 after admitting to similar acts.
Despite calls from some of his rivals to drop his bid, Weiner has pressed on, saying voters should have the ultimate say in who represents them at City Hall.
In the race for comptroller, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer leads his Democratic rival Scott Stringer 44%-35%. Stringer currently serves as Manhattan borough president.
The New York Times/Siena University poll was conducted by telephone from August 2-7 from 505 registered Democrats. The sampling error was plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Spitzer, the former governor, was forced from office over a prostitution scandal in 2008.

We all open so many things throughout the day: doors, drawers, email (some snail mail), bank accounts, cans of worms, or eyes (sometimes). And among the various things we open very few require any special tools except perhaps a key or can opener. One thing that does get opened, as well as closed, sometimes several times in a day is the garage door. Nowadays, most seem to be equipped with garage door openers that also function as garage door closers (you could really play a chicken and egg thing with this in your head, since a door can't be opened that isn't first closed and vice versa).

Discovering the blues and R&B through a local radio station, Treanor developed a lifelong passion for the blues. He started his first band, called The Marauder, at sixteen. "I was raised in a multi-cultural neighborhood where blues, R&B, and Mexican music was the accepted norm. That's what I thought everyone listened to."

In a society that pushes for everyone to have more, be more, and do more, our children quickly get swept into the rapid pace of life that seems impossible to resist. Our over-stimulated world exists as juxtaposition to the inherent needs of a child whose development is best supported by a simple, consistent routine.
