A unique allegation out of New York City:
The contours of the alleged insurance fraud seemed unusual enough: The participants, men and women, were accused of improperly seeking Medicaid benefits for pregnancies, births and postnatal care.
That the defendants were Russian was, perhaps, not altogether unusual, given the number of recent prosecutions for similar insurance schemes perpetrated in New York by immigrants from the former Soviet Union.
But these were no ordinary Russians. They were diplomats posted to New York City, and their wives, accused of fraudulently applying for Medicaid benefits over the past nine years. Prosecutors characterized the scheme as an audacious swindle of the federal health benefits program for the needy, orchestrated by officials in the Russian Consulate in New York and its mission to the United Nations.
Imagine what they could have done if the Obamacare web site had been working sooner.
My husband and I have been married for 20 years and both also share our lives with additional life partners. We recently moved in with my life partner and our relationship tree is complex, as it so often can be when people are allowed a bit of freedom to love.
Rather than spend a lot of time dishing about what we are up to, who and how we love, and how fortunate we feel, I'd like to get right to my plea for support that I know you could offer. I want freedom. I want the freedom in my life that I want for you, the freedom that I vote for, and demand for anyone anywhere: to be able to live and love and talk about your actual life without being afraid that it could cost you your job, your kids, your family.
Having to live in the closet about who you really are is difficult and fearful and it takes something out of you. It hampers relationships, it stifles your life. I cannot say that it is as difficult for us as it is for someone who is LGBT. Truly that isn't where I am coming from at all. I did not know I was "Poly" as a kid. I never felt like I didn't fit in for that reason growing up—and I happen to agree with you that this is a relationship structure issue rather than something similar sexual orientation. There may be people who always knew they were poly and people who do it to please a partner and people who come to it later and wonder how they ever lived without it. It really does not matter, anyway. This isn't a contest about who suffers more, or where these things come from. For me this is simply about freedom, the ability to be honest and genuine about who we are and have it be OK so long as no one is getting hurt.
I know you caught a lot of flack from the Poly community over the question of orientation vs. structure, and I want to make a public plea that we all just agree it doesn't matter. Instead I think we should ask ourselves if we stand for the same things and if we can become a part of a movement toward freedom and equality for everyone even if some of the ways we choose to live and love are choices and some are not. Can we be added to the acronym, please? I have seen the P added but it is very rare and there seems to be a divide between the communities. Perhaps we honor could the differences with an ampersand?
I don't think you are the emperor of acronyms.... but maybe you should be, and that is why I am starting with you. What do you think of LGBT&P?
Thanks, Dan. Seriously, thank you. The progress we have made together toward a more tolerant world gives me hope that perhaps, one day, we could be next in line.

Just got a press release about this:
With the sad news of Nelson Mandela's death, the Washington Global Health Alliance and Seattle Center are partnering for a public memorial to honor his life.
Please join us for a candlelight vigil in honor of President Nelson Mandela at the International Fountain at Seattle Center, at 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 7.
This kind of public show of respect and affection isn't just a tribute to a great and good man. It's a symbol of hope that one day the whole world can live up to his example.
In honor of Nelson Mandela, who died today, here is an image of South Africa from #ISS: https://t.co/JkwMuxcGm0

Brad Johnson's opinion piece for US News and World Report today should be spread far and wide:
Today, Google is promoting a prominent speech by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who denies the reality of climate change and held the government hostage for weeks in a failed attempt to kill universal health care. Cruz, who has received $12,500 in campaign funding from Google, is the main attraction at this year's American Legislative Exchange Council summit in Washington, D.C...There is simply no squaring the moral ambition of the "Don't Be Evil" motto of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin with funding for a group that promotes "The Many Benefits of Increased Atmospheric CO2." ALEC is exactly who Google Chairman Eric Schmidt was talking about when he said at a recent Google symposium: "You can lie about the effects of climate change, but eventually you'll be seen as a liar."
Go read the whole thing, and read more about Google's rightward lurch at Moyers & Company.
The Puget Sound Business Journal reports:
Real estate developer Greg Smith said he plans to build the tallest skyscraper in downtown Seattle on a site where the famous Metropolitan Grill steakhouse operates.
At 77 stories, it would be one floor taller than Seattle's tallest building, Columbia Center.
Sounds cool—but I'll believe it when the project actually has financing and a master use permit. Seattle's last boom cycle brought us tons of developers ballyhooing extravagant proposals without moving a teaspoon of dirt.

Seeing these two sculptures sitting together yesterday made me think of Ariel Levy's New Yorker story about adventurism and birthing a baby who lived only a few minutes during a trip to Mongolia. I've written first-person about the failure of a pregancy before, and it's a hard thing to do.

Former Planned Parenthood Northwest political director Dana Laurent has scored a bit of a coup in her race for Washington State Democratic Party chair by winning the endorsement of Joby Shimomura, Governor Jay Inslee's chief of staff. One of Inslee's closest advisors, it is hard to imagine that Shimomura would have publicly endorsed Laurent without first clearing it with the governor. So barring an Inslee endorsement of one of Laurent's opponents, it seems reasonable to interpret Shimomura's endorsement of Laurent as a polite proxy for the governor's.
As of now, the race to replace Dwight Pelz as party chair appears to have two clear frontrunners: Laurent and current party executive director Jaxon Ravens. Ravens, a long time Democratic Party activist who has worked for the state party since 2004, is well respected in the party and would represent a vote for continuity. It'll be interesting to see how this race ultimately plays out.
President Obama just gave a statement to acknowledge the passing of Nelson Mandela. Obama said his very first political act was a protest against apartheid, and that he's always taken inspiration from Mandela. Here's video:
There will be a number of tributes paid to Mandela over the next few weeks. Here's one of the first—the cover of the next issue of The New Yorker:

In this week's Last Days, Dave Schmader writes about the disturbing 2013 trend of Americans needing help and other Americans responding by shooting them, killing the (literally) helpless. He wraps up one item, about a confused 74-year old getting shot by a skittish 34 year-old in Georgia, with the astute observation: "Let us simply note how nobody fears for his life like the holder of a loaded gun. Funny how that works."
It is funny—the people who hold the power in any given situation tend to be the ones who behave the most fearfully. That seems especially true of governments these days. The harder they pry at our lives, trying to make us completely transparent, the harder they work to make themselves opaque. Call it the law of inverse transparency: We should know increasingly more about you, but you should know increasingly less about us. For democracy's sake.
You can pick surveillance stories almost at random these days and see the contradiction at work.
Example one: The military has just announced it will no longer inform the public of the number of hunger strikers at Guantanamo Bay which, as the Washington Post puts it, "had long been an unofficial barometer of conditions at the secretive military outpost in Cuba."
Meanwhile, the Post also reports that the NSA is collecting massive amounts of cell-phone location data "on a planetary scale," with billions of records gathered every day. According to the Post, the NSA says it collects the records "incidentally," a legal positioning that "connotes a foreseeable but not deliberate result." Specifically, it's looking for relationships between people by analyzing patterns of how cell phones move.
CO-TRAVELER and related tools require the methodical collection and storage of location data on what amounts to a planetary scale. The government is tracking people from afar into confidential business meetings or personal visits to medical facilities, hotel rooms, private homes and other traditionally protected spaces.
"One of the key components of location data, and why it's so sensitive, is that the laws of physics don't let you keep it private," said Chris Soghoian, principal technologist at the American Civil Liberties Union. People who value their privacy can encrypt their e-mails and disguise their online identities, but "the only way to hide your location is to disconnect from our modern communication system and live in a cave."
If you thought the pedigreed hounds of yesterday looked like normal dogs and today's look weird, it's because they've been bred into sickly, misshapen fur statues. The tip comes via Fnarf, who says, "I KNEW there was something terribly wrong with today's German Shepherds compared to the ones I knew just a few decades ago."
Check out the side-by-side comparisons of yesterdogs and modern freakpets.
First things first: I can't stop trying to say duh-VORR-jacques, as in, the Czech composer.
The Dvorak keyboard, however, is named after a guy named August Dvorak, a human untrailed by diacritical marks of any kind. One must imagine that his name is to be pronounced duh-VORR-ock. Furthermore, he was born in Everett, Washington, and taught at UW.
What he invented is the Dvorak keyboard. The Dvorak keyboard might—might—change my life.
My husband just forwarded to me a 2002 story by Nicholas Thompson in Slate about the Dvorak keyboard. If you don't know, it's a layout of the letters on the board that's supposed to make eminently more sense—in terms of efficiency and ergonomy—than the Qwerty layout.
I have chronic pain in my hands, fingers, thumbs, and forearms that is most definitely caused by typing. I don't need to type faster. I just need to type less painfully.
If you were me, would you try to switch?
Before you answer that, here is my preexisting condition: I sometimes find myself pounding the keys without noticing. I'll also discover I have my shoulders glued up to my ears and all that sort of thing. (I also wear bizarre unconscious expressions on my face when typing, and this also happens when I am watching the movies, a time when I also make fists and perform other nearly involuntary hand tics. All my nervous action lives in my hands and face.)
Now that you know about my nervous action, do you think am I doomed with any keyboard?

The New York Times has a seriously upsetting piece on the American AIDS epidemic, which, as Donald G. McNeil Jr. writes, " is rapidly becoming concentrated among poor, young black and Hispanic men who have sex with men":
Nationally, 25 percent of new infections are in black and Hispanic men, and in New York City it is 45 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the city's health department.
Nationally, when only men under 25 infected through gay sex are counted, 80 percent are black or Hispanic — even though they engage in less high-risk behavior than their white peers.
According to a major C.D.C.-led study, a male-male sex act for a young black American is eight times as likely to end in H.I.V. infection as it is for his white peers.
That is true even though, on average, black youths in the study took fewer risks than their white peers: they had fewer partners, engaged in fewer acts of sex while drunk or high, and used condoms more often.
They had other risk factors. Lacking health insurance, they were less likely to have seen doctors regularly and more likely to have syphilis, which creates a path for H.I.V.
But the crucial factor was that more of their partners were older black men, who are much more likely to have untreated H.I.V. than older white men.

Tomorrow night in South Seattle, there's an art opening that feels like something you'd see in Berlin or Stockholm. Its curators are two European artists here doing residencies at the University of Washington at Bothell. They go by the joint name Salinas & Bergman, and their web site is full of good stuff.
Here's one of their works:
More on that piece, Abstract your shit is, is here.
Tomorrow night's show, from 7 to 10, features works involving parliamentary speeches, Operation Urgent Fury, and the Dow Chemical Plant in Midland, Michigan, by the unabashed Swedish artist Ulkrika Gomm.
King County Sheriff Deputy Patrick "K.C." Saulet has been placed on administrative leave for an incident last summer involving a reporter for The Stranger, one of Seattle's alternative newspapers. Sheriff John Urquhart confirmed Thursday that he placed Saulet on administrative leave just before Thanksgiving, just months after Saulet was demoted for his actions in a separate incident...
Urquhart's recent decision to place Saulet on leave was connected to the deputy's treatment of Stranger reporter Dominic Holden, who said Saulet threatened him for taking pictures on a public sidewalk.
Background on my complaint is over here. I hadn't heard these details, so props to KING 5's Linda Byron for getting the leak from the department. I could only dig up a little bit more info.
It turns out that Saulet is appealing some sort of discipline.
Reached by e-mail moments ago, King County Sheriff John Urquhart told me, "The investigation into your incident is complete but the discipline is pending because Saulet requested a Loudermill hearing." That hearing is essentially an officer's chance to appeal their recommended punishment directly to the sheriff. But that's a dicey gamble. As we just learned, a King County sergeant who was facing a 20-day suspension appealed to Sheriff Urquhart recently, and Urquhart made the punishment more severe—firing the sergeant for dishonesty.
Urquhart was tight-lipped about the rest of my complaint: "I can't comment in the case, other than he is on administrative leave, with pay, pending the hearing." Sergeant Saulet's hearing will be held December 19. Stay tuned.
Look! It's a trailer for the sequel to the Spider-Man reboot series! I found the first one to be underwhelming and inept, but a lot of people seemed to like it—or at least it made a ton of money. So, quick! Back to the spider-trough!
One positive thing I do have to say about this trailer is that they finally got the costume exactly right. Spider-Man looks just like Spider-Man in the comics, which is great.
Yup, it's cold outside, but that has not stopped dozens of people from marching 15 miles from SeaTac to Seattle in support of a $15 an hour minimum wage. The marchers just recently reached Seattle city limits, where they were met with the following greeting:
Guy watching us #OnTheMarch up
MLK has a sign with a simple message: "Thank you!"
— Good Jobs Seattle (@GoodJobsSeattle) December 5, 2013
Meanwhile Seattle City Council member Jean Godden took to Twitter to remind voters that in addition to all its other benefits, "raising the minimum wage will help narrow the gender pay gap." Because a majority of minimum wage workers are women. (And disproportionately people of color, too.)
Or do. Then tell me if it made you jump.
h/t Adrian!
Until the spring of 2011, Mexican writer Javier Sicilia was best known for his fiction, poetry, and essays. Then, on March 8 of that year, his son and six other friends were kidnapped, tortured, and suffocated by hit men for complaining about a theft in the parking lot of a narco-run nightclub.
The killers, Sicilia later explained, were from one of many gangs jockeying for dominance after narco boss Beltrán Leyva was killed by Mexican Special Forces in late 2009. (Coincidentally, a photo of Leyva's corpse, guarded by a masked soldier, wound up being the image that accompanied this Stranger article about US drug prohibition that ran just a few months before Sicilia's son was killed.)
After his son's death, Sicilia began a series of protests against the runaway corruption and carnage of the drug war. The protests grew into a movement called "Estamos Hasta la Madre" ("We've Had It Up to Here") that galvanized Mexico. Tens of thousands marched in cities across Mexico, including one march that started in Cuernavaca—not far from where both Leyva and Sicilia's son were killed—and ended in Mexico City, 54 miles away, with 200,000 in attendance.
This fall, Sicilia came to Seattle with fellow activist Teresa Carmona, whose son was also killed by narcos, as part of a North American tour. We spoke shortly after he delivered a lecture at the Seattle University Law School. What follows is a lightly edited transcript of the conversation.
It's cold and it's First Thursday. Get out there. Here's what you'll see.
Tom Scocca's very long post on Gawker today about the enemies of snark makes for very interesting reading. I don't think this post will stand as a transformative manifesto, the way Heidi Julavits's argument against snark in The Believer's debut issue has become a serious topic of discussion in recent years. It doesn't so much work as a manifesto as a very long list of examples. But it does put a name to a very alarming internet trend: The press-release friendly, only-positive news sites that refuse to apply critical thinking when critical thinking is absolutely necessary. The word is smarm.
And that's exactly right. When he talks about smarm, Scocca is talking about BuzzFeed and Upworthy and other sites that refuse to be negative on all but the most safely unpopular topics, but he might as well be referring to advertorial neighborhood blogs, or tech blogs that play nice because they rely on access from the companies they're supposed to be covering, or cheerleading industry blogs that don't take a stand against anyone. These are outlets that I've complained about for years, but tagging them as smarmy is perfect; that one word articulates everything that I dislike about them. They're self-congratulatory and not at all helpful.
Here are a couple of relevant passages from Scocca's essay, but I encourage you to read the whole thing:
Smarm is a kind of performance—an assumption of the forms of seriousness, of virtue, of constructiveness, without the substance. Smarm is concerned with appropriateness and with tone. Smarm disapproves.Smarm would rather talk about anything other than smarm. Why, smarm asks, can't everyone just be nicer?
At some point, in a piece like this, convention calls for the admission that the complaints against snark are not entirely without merit. Fine. Some snark is harmful and rotten and stupid. Just as, to various degrees, some poems and Page-One newspaper stories and sermons and football gambling advice columns are harmful and rotten and stupid. Like every other mode, snark can sometimes be done badly or to bad purposes.
Smarm, on the other hand, is never a force for good. A civilization that speaks in smarm is a civilization that has lost its ability to talk about purposes at all. It is a civilization that says "Don't Be Evil," rather than making sure it does not do evil.
I'm forever in Scocca's debt for weaponizing the word "smarm" as a catchall for the tumorous nicey-nice that's pervaded internet culture. Smarm is everywhere, and now it finally has a name.
What you will see in this image is one of the queens of the 90s wearing no clothes but a strange and very ugly sea creature. All of this has something to do with charity.
Also, bearded Driscoll: 80 percent less shiny!
(Thank you, Right Wing Watch.)

Realplayer and Helix Player 11 for Linux
The Helix developers have announced version 11 of Helix Player and Realplayer for Linux.
Helix Player is an Open Source variant of Realplayer, which uses the Helix DNA Client as its engine and only supports open formats such as Ogg/Vorbis and Theora, along with H.263 and uncompressed audio files in WAV, AU and AIFF formats. The player components are released under two licenses by Real, RPSL (which has official OSI recognition) and RCSL (a commercial source code license).
Helix Player's new features include playlist support and the ability to play live streams without fall-out due to a super buffer. Helix Player now also supports Alsa and will play audio content with surround sound. Finally, the developers have also fixed a number of bugs in the player software. Helix Player is available for downloading from the community website.
RealPlayer version 11 is also available as a free download version. It uses much the same codebase as Helix Player, but additionally supports proprietary formats such as Realaudio and Realvideo, MP3, MP4 Audio and Flash 4. The new version of the software also plays Windows media content.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- More than 500 foster children from around the state were adopted in November for National Adoption Month.
Parents who adopt foster kids receive a monthly adoption subsidy for the family, health benefits for the child, and free college tuition.
Roughly 750 foster children are still waiting for a family. The children most in need of homes are teens, sibling groups and children with special needs.
A newly redesigned website at www.adoptflorida.org highlights children and sibling groups in foster care each day of the month with photos and videos.
Last year, 3,250 children were adopted from Florida's foster care system.

The memory on the NIC is not related to Remote Memory Access. The SRAM is used to host the firmware code and some data such as the routes, physical addresses, the name of the captain, whatever. More memory means that you can fit more routes (on a 7 hops topologies, you need to store 8 bytes, 7 routing bytes and a length, for every routes, and you need 8 different routes for each destination, per link, to have an effecive route dispersion scheme) or do something special (you can write your own firmware if you are crazy or you know what you are doing). 2MB is fine for most cases. > If so which library can i download for that for myri cards? GM supports RMA (PUT and GET) but do not expect the same latency as Quadrics. MX does not have been available with one-sided operations yet, but the latency is much better.

Ferrero-Waldner congratulates Durnwalder and Brugger on their election-success
Austria's Foreign Minister views the election result as an approval of autonomy
Vienna, 28 October 2003 - Foreign Minister Ferrero-Waldner congratulated the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP) and party leader Siegfried Brugger to their success in the elections to the provincial parliament on 26 October. "I rejoice at the news of the excellent result of the SVP. The result once again proves the broad support and approval the SVP enjoys with the South Tyrolean population with its work for the region, but also as the legitimate political representative of the German and Ladin-speaking groups," Ferrero-Waldner said.
Ferrero-Waldner especially congratulated the Head of the Provincial Government Luis Durnwalder on his personal success, which she said was to be seen as clear evidence of his popularity with the entire population. "Durnwalder's consistent and credible commitment for every single citizen of South Tyrol, but also for peaceful coexistence in his function as Head of the Provincial Government has won him the trust of all three ethnic groups," the Foreign Minister said.
As Ferrero-Waldner said, this policy had now been honoured by the voters. The South Tyrol, owing to its political and economic situation, has come into a position in which it could exhibit strong self-confidence. The Foreign Minister also expressed her satisfaction at the fact that autonomy-critical and nationalist positions are obviously gaining less and less acclaim among the Italian-speaking population too. "The election result is therefore also to be seen as general approval of autonomy as a basis for prosperity and social peace in South Tyrol," Ferrero-Waldner stated.

Leadership is the process of working with others to create a vision for the future, build commitment and align people's actions toward that vision, and ultimately produce results that make the envisioned future a reality.
Today's world requires moving beyond the traditional "heroic" image of a leader to investing in and facilitating leadership as a collective achievement. This is leadership that is inclusive, distributed, and ethical. It draws on diversity to achieve a common purpose and recognizes that bridging difference expands possibilities, strengthens solutions, and fosters adaptability for rapidly changing global political and social landscapes. Fostering leadership for this new era depends on bringing diverse voices to the fore — those of women, people of color, youth, and people in developing nations, among others. It also requires developing a different set of skills — based more on listening than knowing, engaging than directing, humility than arrogance.
- Help students develop a practical framework for ethical leadership
- Provide opportunities for students to participate in activities that develop problem-solving, creation of tangible outcomes, idea generation, and implementation
- Create a network of leaders across New York University's global sites and portal campuses by connecting students, faculty, and staff throughout the world
- Provide students with opportunities to engage with proven leaders
- Identify individual learning styles, and help leaders understand their roles in group dynamics

Soulful, rich, articulate, and smooth sound from strings designed to emulate fat Texas tone.
Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top is known for big fat Texas tone that has been described as "hot, blue, and righteous." Dunlop developed Reverend Willy's strings in collaboration with Billy himself, aiming to make replacement guitar strings that offer a real punch and while remaining articulate and clear when guitarists perform his legendary leads and pinch harmonics.
Extra Light guitar string gauges: 7-9-11-20-30-38
Get the big Texas tone of Billy Gibbons when you order some Reverend Willy's guitar strings today.

Sooooooo incredibly excited to have received the Bronze Award in the Fine Art Category from the 2011 International Loupe Awards! Best part about this image is it was taken on my Diana F camera….a $40 camera that is made of plastic! Love the dreamy quality those cameras lend to photos.

Have you had an unconventional holiday? You're not alone. Some holidays don't turn out the way we intend them to... then again, some family holiday celebrations are a little goofy to begin with.
Share your unconventional holiday story with usAnyone who's spent time in the classical music world knows that just because someone can sing like an angel, that doesn't mean he or she acts like one...but Amazon is hoping that the frisson of classical musicians partying like rock stars will attract viewers to Mozart in the Jungle.
Last year, composer and educator David Rakowski took it upon himself to create a new version of the holiday classic "The Christmas Song," inserting lyrics that precisely describe what's happening in Mel Torme's famous melody.
I recently shared our guide to composers and Myers-Briggs types on Tumblr--a social blogging site--and in the past 24 hours it's been widely shared. People have enjoyed finding out which is "their" composer, and they've been passing it on to their friends with excited comments.

it's getting to be quite the tenses.
kimmel plays him like a fiddle.
jimmy called me after and told me this was all in my honour robin what a great guy
"I can see Kimmoe, and he be looking scared."
Kanye is such a dumbfuck. It's great that someone with an audience can shine a light on how fucking stupid he is.
Is this a bit like the girl twerking and catching fire?
"I've seen the video."
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
This smells of a bit, but Kanye is so humorless it's hard to imagine he's in on it.
That was my guess. I wouldn't be surprised if the Kayne/Kim machine wanted some positive publicity so they set this up as a way to show everyone they have a sense of humor. My thoughts were that they would build this thing up for a week or two and then have some grand finale revealing it was all a bit.
Looks like his stereotypically heeby agent is in on it, too.
@jimmykimmel your low blow comment was uncalled for and shows that you still dont understand the big time.
Homer Simpson mode ON
Negroes are funny...
Homer Simpson mode OFF
Was "Kanye" the same negro that interrupted that cute white girl during some award show? Get back in the field, nigger. There's cotton to be picked.
Humorless negro. Unintentional, effortless self-parody. I have never heard a Kanye West song or "rap" or ebonic chant or whatever you'd call it.
Could be a bit but maybe not.
I don't know a lot about Kanye but wouldn't be surprised if he's a guy who's bought into his own hype and has no sense of humor about himself. But he comes off looking really insecure in all of this.
I hope kanye takes up krokodil as a hobby.

The room was PERFECT! With a bathroom, freeze and microwave inside. The breakfast was okay. Be carful with what they say on the website about the transfer from/to airport. I paid $15 twice because they said that they don't have transfers for ONE DAY RESERVATION, but on website they say that there's one transfer for free and the second one for $15... Whatever, they should do what they put online!

There are a variety of ways to access this route. The route I used starts from the moraine that splits the Middle Palisade glacier. Up and to your right is a somewhat horizontal band of red rock. Cross the 'schrund and follow the red band till you've climbed into a large gully. Careful, lots of loose rock on the band. Once in the gully, go straight up on great class 3/4 rock past the first gendarme (on your left)to a split in the gully. Keep to the left and continue climbing to the top of the gully and the summit ridge. About 100ft to your left is the true summit. Climb down the same way you came up. See comments below for the correct and easier start.
Ice axe, crampons and helmet.
Secor calls the east face 3-4th class. That corresponds to two distinct gully-ledge systems referred in Porcella and Burns as the NE and E face routes. They are separated by a towering buttress on the lower flanks and join above it (see beta pic). The NE face (described above) goes 4th class over a friable band of reddish semi-consolidated shite. I suspect many mistake this as the east face route. It's a big face and doubtless there are many paths but I wouldn't want to downclimb that one. The true east face ("true" in the sense that it is solid 3rd class glory) starts at the high point of the glacier. From there traverse right <20m around the base of an obvious, very small tower, then look up. The route unfolds in front of you like a sky pilot. This "variation" is only 4th class if you meander away from the trough of the gully ledge system.
So-so rock quality, but fun scrambling up a very unlikely looking face. Plus amazing views and a great challenge on a historic route. Do it car to car in a day for mega leg-pump. :)
Where the medial moraine ends head up steeper snow aiming just left of the toe of the face; there's a large ledge which will lead you up and to the right and into the shallow starting gully (large cairn marks where to go up), a tricky step/traverse will get you into that, then, as stated you can follow that up to the main gully. When in the main gully, staying left for most of the way (probably Class 4) seems to help with staying out of the loose and unnerving terrain. Bouldery and exposed moves near the summit. Descend the same way with great care, and I recommend a helmet. Times: 4/5 hours from Finger Lake to the start of the climb. 2 hours for the climb 1-1/2 hours for the descent 2-1/2 hours back to Finger Lake It was an 11 hour day for us.
Crux is dealing with the terribly loose rock strewn over the second half of the approach. Fun 3rd, cool hike in. 4:50 from car to summit.

AGI News
(AGI) - Rome, Nov.27 - The industrialised countries must "give a feat of leadership" and reduce GHG emissions by at least 80 pct - compared with 1990 figures - by 2050. If that is not done, floods, desertification and other disasters due to global warming risk dragging the poorer countries "into a descending whirlpool", in which hundreds of millions of people would suffer "malnutrition, lack of water, ecologic risks and loss of means of sustenance". That's the message that comes from the latest Report on Human Development by the UNDP, called "Resisting Climate Change". The document also suggests a series of taxes on emissions, stricter systems to curb emissions and emission trading. UNDP experts reckon the approach to the problem is twofold: on the one hand, measures "to keep global warming in the 21st century within a 2-degree limit", on the other "strengthen cooperation" on climate adaptation, to help reduce emissions in developing countries by 20 pct by 2050 (compared with 1990 levels). Despite these states account for an increasing share of global emissions, rich countries are still accountable for the accumulation of the carbon debt. The 450-page document proves this, pointing out that "if each poor country on the planet were to generate the emissions of an average European country, we would need four planets to fight off pollution".

RCH Racing Anaheim 1 Recap
Wednesday, January 9, 2013 | 1:30 PMANAHEIM, Calif. – The new-look Dodge/Sycuan Casino/RCH Racing/Bel-Ray/Suzuki RM-Z 450 racing team had an evening of mixed results during Round 1 of the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross Series season Saturday at jammed-packed Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.
Former AMA Lites champion Broc Tickle (No. 20 Dodge/Sycuan Casino/RCH Racing/Bel-Ray/Suzuki RM-Z 450) was on pace for a top-10 finish when a mid-race mishap with two-time defending series champion Ryan Villopoto dropped the first-year RCH rider 10 positions and out of race contention. He finished 18th.
Tickle started 12th in the 20-lap Main Event. He broke inside the top 10 by Lap 5 and was racing bar-to-bar with Villopoto in a battle of Suzuki against Kawasaki when misfortune struck on Lap 8. The RCH rider found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and couldn't avoid the havoc in front of him.
"I didn't see much until I got right up on him," said Tickle. "He must have hit the tuff block when he landed because they were all across the track. I dodged one, dodged his bike but ran into Villo (Villopoto) and crashed. It's a bummer for everyone on this No. 20 Dodge/Sycuan Casino/RCH Racing/Bel-Ray/Suzuki RM-Z 450 team. We're outta here healthy and I'm looking forward to next week in Phoenix. We're making positive progress."
The Michigan native was solid throughout the event aboard the Tony Berluti-tuned Suzuki. He rode mid-pack in both afternoon practice sessions and finished sixth in his Heat Race for an automatic transfer to the Main Event. Tickle's was impressive in his heat, rebounding after getting pinched in Turn 1 which dropped him five positions in the eight-lap race. He regained four spots over the final four laps on the ultra-fast Anaheim track.
"We had a really good day until the Main Event," said Berluti. "Broc was running about 10th; he and (Ryan) Villopoto were battling hard for a few laps. Villopoto hit a tuff block and knocked it out of place and Broc had nowhere to go. It took Broc a few seconds to get back going. By then, he was all the way back in 20th. We ended up 18th."
Teammate Josh Hill (No. 75 Dodge/Sycuan Casino/RCH Racing/Bel-Ray/Suzuki RM-Z 450) suffered his second-consecutive, season-opening disappointment after the Oregon native wobbled his Suzuki during the first qualifying practice, cross-rutting a portion of the rhythm section which sent him to the dirt.
Hill's head-banging tumble forced the second-year RCH rider to sit out the remaining event schedule. He was evaluated by medical personnel for precautionary reasons. Hill suffered a broken left leg at last year's season opener which sidelined him for the majority of the season.

Wow, a Josh Hill mishap..........Nice pic, taking Hill over Chisholm.
Hill must've gotten a Hart tatoo to seal the deal.
Was hoping RC would class up that outfit . Watson aint it !!!
Hill did look good there for a little while... Till the season started.

Fairy Dust
Ella is at that age where her imagination can sometimes run so wild, she has trouble keeping up with it. The monsters & creatures in the books she's read or the shows she's seen play on her mind when the lights go out at night. That's normal, I'd say. I remember laying in bed as a kid, convinced there was an alien at my window, a fury creature under my bed and a monstrous boogey man in my wardrobe. It's all part of growing up.
But to put Ella's little mind to rest & allow her to relax into a deep, happy lull, we do a little routine each night. After books & snuggles, we make a fairy wish.
When she was 2, I bought a little glass jar from the $2 shop & filled it with white & silver glitter and tiny silver stars. It has sat on her bookshelf ever since.
She *knows* it's fairy dust & treats it very special. And each night, we sprinkle a little bit over her bed & make a wish for a peaceful night's sleep with happy dreams. She asks the fairies to visit her while she sleeps & kiss her eyelashes. She asks them to visit her baby brother too :)
And just like that, she calms.......and drifts off to sleep.....

Dear members of techPowerUp!, For Nov 16th to Nov 22nd 2012 SETI.Germany is arranging a challenge at World Community Grid on the occasion of the grids eighth birthday: The 8th Birthday Challenge We would like to invite your team to participate in the challenge and hope that many of you will be joining. More information and statistics regarding the challenge can be found here. Your participation is very much appreciated. Sincerely XSmeagolX WCG-Team-Captain SETI.Germany
I believe that team TPU would gladly accept the challenge. However, official confirmation will have to be made by our captain (CP) or senior members.. Thanks for the invite! I hope you will get the official confirmation soon (when the concerned members see this thread)
Indeed, PM Chicken Patty if you want to put our team on the list of participants. You should see how well we did in last week's HCC Challenge.
No need to be helping the team if it is in a team challenge, animal007uk. The team will then simply be represented by less participants (i.e. individual crunchers).
Our current challenge is more of a give 110% or more, no holds barred, all in, give prizes/add new members commitment. In my case, if we were to participate I would give my standard 100% commitment due to this one being so close to the current challenge. We will still make a decent showing in this challenge even if we just work as a Team as we would any other day of the year. My $0.02 However, if our Captain asks us for a little more- I will give whatever extra I can
Count me in! I'll throw everything I have at the contest at least until the 21st--then I'll probably have to shut down most of my farm for Thanksgiving Break.
Indeed, all WCG projects. Although it is okay to limit your selection if you wish (but that would be pointless).
If you have multiple rigs you can set the ones with the preferred gpu's for the HCC gpu wu's and create a maximum output/all projects profile for the others I'm running a max output profile on the Opty and the 980X atm and HCC only (w/o the app_info tweak) on all of the others. Switched to this a few days ago and it boosted the output on those two rigs by about 25% Will switch all of the other rigs except the ones with the 7870 and 6870 in them over to the max profile after the HCC challenge ends....
An option/setting in the WCG profiles: WCG seems to decide how to setup the projects- working fine for me so far (may break thru 100k today)
My understanding is that that Max Output profile just sets it to run all of the time at max speed. Which is what I have it configured to do anyways I'll still play with it though to see what I can get
No, I never let my computer slack off It's time for the daily updates in the WCG 8th Birthday Challenge! Off to a great start, but this will clearly be a tougher competition for all of us!

Participating in PUMPS & VALVES provides solid answers to these fundamental sales & marketing questions:
1) What sales & marketing actions have you planned to attract new customers in 2012?
Exhibiting at PUMPS & VALVES is an ideal platform for introducing new customers from your target market to your know-how, products, and services -- as well as for meeting with existing customers.
easyFairs promotes its shows strictly to trade professionals, meaning that although the crowds are smaller, they are all the right people! A higher percentage of them are potential buyers of your products, and because you aren't wasting time talking to obvious non-buyers, you have more time to engage in direct conversation and actually sell.
2) Do your existing customers know your full product range?
This is a great opportunity for you to meet existing customers to inform them in person about your new products or to casually inquire about their new product needs.
Exhibiting at PUMPS & VALVES is an extremely cost-effect platform for customer care: they come to you! Spend a mere fraction of what you would on individual site visits and entice your current customers to visit your stand with a small gift. They'll see you in a new professional context -- which could lead to interesting discussions indeed!
3) How do you inform the market about your specific know-how and product innovation?
Participation reflects well on your company's market position, its strengths and innovation. At PUMPS & VALVES, it's not the size of your stand but the creativity and dynamism of your products that will attract visitors. Its no-fuss, business-like atmosphere gives you the opportunity to set yourself off from the crowd, even (especially) if you are a smaller "specialty" provider!
Its clear floor layout, useful navigation documents such as exhibitor catalogue and floorplan, and the minimisation of hype all make PUMPS & VALVES an effective venue for spotlighting your company's offerings.
Interested in participating in Pumps & Valves 2012 ?
Please contact Steven Duytschaever to receive an exhibitors' brochure and an updated floor plan.

By Chick Jacobs Staff writer
When Jesus gave his followers their Great Commission, he simply said to go and make disciples of all nations.
The advice to bring granola and bug spray came along later.
Next week, nearly 80 high school seniors and chaperones from Fayetteville Christian School and Village Christian Academy will share scripture and sweat in remote locations around the world.
One group will trek into a steamy tropical jungle, while the other will hike through chilly Old World scenery.
Both will come home tired and, their teachers hope, thankful.
"The students will get a workout, that's for sure," said Roger Vogel, a teacher at Village Christian. His group of 36 will head into the Transylvania area of Romania to share their faith.
Meanwhile, 47 students and chaperones from Fayetteville Christian will travel by dugout canoe to a remote village in southern Costa Rica.
The trips are part of the faith-based curriculum at both schools, a tradition that the students face with a blend of excitement and anxiety.
"It's a mix of both," said Erin Stanley, a senior at Fayetteville Christian. Her group plans to teach a Bible school and work on a fresh water project for a local tribe, the Bribri.
Students such as Chima Enwere acknowledge the week away from the comforts of home will be a challenge.
"No cellphone, no computer, all in a place I've never seen," he said.
Kevin Clark, another senior, said the experience will remove him from "my Southern comfort zone."
"For some people, the physical work will be different, but we'll all be a long way from home," he said.
That's part of the process, said Fayetteville Christian headmaster Tammi Peters.
"We can talk about the importance of mission work in the Christian faith, or we can do it," Peters said. "The experience teaches them how to teach others about our faith."
But the students learn other life lessons as well, she added.
"The experience helps prepare them for their life after high school, whether they're going to college, to the military, whatever God has planned for them."
Vogel agreed, saying that the experience should make the students less hesitant to go overseas in the future.
"Not only is it an excellent opportunity to serve the Lord, but it teaches them a bit about themselves," he said. "We're teaching outside the classroom. In the future, if an opportunity to travel overseas comes up, they'll have their passports and experience to fall back on. It'll be a piece of cake."
One lesson all the students share is to bring snacks. That and bug spray - lots of bug spray.
"We've been warned by the group from last year," Clark said. "I'm bringing granola bars and beef jerky."
"It's a different world," added Stanley, who said she's bringing Chunky Chips-Ahoy to fend off hunger and homesickness.
"It's going to be tough for some of us," Stanley said. "We'll be depending on each other for support."
Plus, Peters notes, the trip helps prepare students for the day they leave home.
"When they come back, they are much more appreciative of the blessings the Lord has presented us in our home country," she said.

Waste Heat Recovery from Diesel Engines
Project location:
Project Lead: Chuen-Sen Lin
Improving efficiency of diesel engines in rural Alaska villages is an inexpensive, short-term opportunity to reduce fuel costs for those communities. Ā Most diesel generators operate at an efficiency of 30-40%, with the rest of energy being lost through the both the engine exhaust and the water jacket.Ā One way to increase efficiency is by using this waste heat for space heating applications. Ā However, sometimes the power generation facility for a particular community is located too far from other buildings to effectively heat buildings with this waste heat. Ā Also, the need for space heating in the summer months is limited. Ā
For this reason, the Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP) has been investigating a number of technologies which could be used to generate additional power from the waste heat stream. An example is the 400kW geothermal power plant at Chena Hot Springs Resort. Ā The power plant, built by United Technologies Corporation, was originally designed to operate off waste industrial heat applications, including large diesel recip engines. Ā Unfortunately, the units installed at Chena would require more waste heat than is available in most villages – 2 MW and above. Ā
ACEP has been conducting an assessment of the availability of smaller power generation units which would be more applicable in rural Alaska. Ā In 2009, ACEP will begin testing and evaluating several waste heat recovery devices, both at its diesel engine test bed in Fairbanks, and in a field installation in Kotzebue.
In addition to assessing technical issues, data on the costs associated with installing, operating and maintaining these systems is being collected. Ā Additional field trials are planned in 2010. Ā This project is funded by the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA).
In addition to this research project, ACEP is testing other ways of improving diesel engine efficiency, including varying fuels and fuel mixtures as well as evaluating designs for stack heat recovery. ĀĀ

For instance, Belgium and Germany have decided to get out of nuclear power entirely. Italy had been planning to start using nuclear power but decided not to, said European Commission spokeswoman Marlene Holzer.
"We have conducted a reassessment of all existing nuclear reactors in the EU in the light of Fukushima. We hope that the results and the recommendations made will be included when building new reactors," Holzer said. "Building on these results, we will come out with a new EU law on nuclear safety."

ASBO issued for abusive behaviour
Published by Nicola Mileham for Stockport Homes in Local Government and also in Communities, Housing
David Eccles, aged 16, from Adswood has been made the subject of an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO). The ASBO secured by Stockport Homes, in partnership with Greater Manchester Police, applies to the whole of England and Wales and lasts until 27 July 2014. If he breaks his ASBO he could face a fine or be sent to a detention centre for up to five years.
The ASBO was granted because he:
- Behaved in a way which caused or was likely to cause, harassment alarm or distress to a person, not of the same household as himself.
- Tried to enter another residents' front door. When that door was shut to prevent him from entering, he began kicking the door and shouted abuse.
- Entered another residents' property through an open door, went into the living room and shouted abuse at them and then spat in the residents face.
- Pushed a female resident of Adswood to the floor on Neston Grove, Adswood.
- Grabbed the son of the resident by the throat, then threw him to the ground and kicked him twice in his back, only to be stopped by another male.
- Threatened a female resident by saying "I'm going to smash your windows and petrol bomb your house".
The ASBO states that he must not: by himself or by instructing, encouraging or inciting any other person:
- Act in an anti-social manner which is likely to cause harassment alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household as himself.
- Use abusive, insulting, offensive, threatening or intimidating language or behaviour in a public place or in any place to which the public has access.
- Throw any missiles against any person, property or vehicle.
- Engage in activity causing or likely to cause any persons to fear for their personal safety or that of their property or personal possessions.
- Approach physically, communicate with or otherwise contact directly or through another person / media / electronic device, any of the named witness on the order.
If you see David acting in an anti-social manner or doing anything he is prohibited from doing, please report this immediately to Greater Manchester Police on 101 or Stockport Homes on 0161 218 1498.
Roger Phillips, Chair of Stockport Homes' Board said, "This is another example of Stockport Homes taking positive action to stamp out ASB on its estates. ASB has a serious negative impact on residents' lives and Stockport Homes always strive to ensure residents can live in peace without fear of ASB."

Mow Your Lawn or Go to Jail, Warns One Long Island Village

Small children? Superpowers? We have it all here at Next Generation Kindergarten!
Next Generation Elementary OOC
Basically, this is a kindergarten school for kids with superpowers, to train the next generation of superheroes. In addition, there are people looking to exploit these children, so Next Gen doubles as a safe haven for these children. The school is disguised as a normal kindergarten for "highly gifted" children.
There are four types of characters you can play: Your character can be either a normal person, or a superpowered person. S/he can also be either a student, or a teacher. We'll need both to start this, probably more students than teachers. Also, your character, whether normal or superpowered, could know any amount about Next Gen. Even a superpowered student could be oblivious to his/her superpowers and those of others. A normal student could know about the superpowers, or not. I'd prefer that the teachers know about the superpowers - though they themselves don't have to have superpowers - but if you really want to play an oblivious teacher, that's fine too.
I'm alright with pretty much all types of superpowers, and you can tell me all about your ideas here, or in a CS Template if we get enough interest for an OOC. There will be separate CS Templates for teachers and students.
You're allowed as many characters as you can keep up with, so you can even play a teacher and student if you want.
Let me know if you want to be a teacher or a student, or if you're just interested at all. I'll make an OOC if we get enough people here.

What America Really Needs Today: Meghan McCain Talking About Her Boobs
Posted on | March 12, 2012 | 26 Comments
There are many important news stories I could be blogging about today. The latest polls show a statistical dead heat in the Alabama and Mississippi GOP presidential primaries. Greece has officially defaulted on its debt. Israel has reportedly delayed a military strike on Iran.
My ego tells me that there are thousands of readers checking their RSS feeds waiting to learn the answer to the question: "What will Stacy say about these breaking news developments?"
Yet I am a highly-skilled news industry professional, which is why I must suppress my narcissistic impulse to share my personal opinions on these topics, in order to give readers what they really want: Meghan McCain talking about her breasts.
"I'm not super skinny, I have large breasts, I know, they're real, I can't do anything about it, and like the Internet just has this really weird reaction to my body … I've seen a therapist about it. … I don't really need people in politics or people sort of a little bit older to understand me or like me because there's enough college students that seem to like me, and that's all I really care about."
So while I struggle against my egotistical delusion that you might be interested in my personal opinions about the Greek economy or the Republican presidential campaign, Cousin Meghan has no such dilemma: She knows exactly why you're interested in her, and she's making the most of it.
