Trousers Brown Counterpoint: Is Gordon right?
Some more details are beginning to emerge on the Prime Minister's new "food security" theme, which he has just been debating with other big-league politicoes at the G8 summit. Mr Brown and his fellow overlords were also concerned with Zimbabwe and various other things, but seem to have spent most of their time on the "triple …
Useful analysis..
... so thanks for that, but I think the rising cost and increasing scarcity of energy is likely to make domestic food production more important rather than less so.
Energy used transporting food, whether by ship from Africa or by road/rail across Europe, is largely energy wasted. It doesn't affect the energy required for fertiliser and cultivation. These remain more or less a constant regardless of where the food is grown. Transport costs will become an increasingly important element of the price of food as oil gets scarcer and its cost rises, particularly as in transport terms food is a low cost, high volume cargo. Hence, transport makes up a relatively large proportion of the end-user price.
If you take all this into account it makes sense to minimise food transport, which means growing, processing and distributing food close to those who eat it.
What exactly did the EU do to stop Zimbabwe's food exports, other than knighting a loon?
Plane talk
"*Ethiopia and Eritrea were able in 1999 to indulge in quite serious air-to-air combat, both sides using Russian jets and missiles. Famously, a female Ethiopian pilot, Captain Aster Tolossa, reportedly shot down her old Russian flight-school instructor, serving as a mercenary on the Eritrean side."
I think we can assume from that that the plane was destroyed, but did the pilot survive?
A small but significant detail, whenever the aircraft is so easily replaced with printed money and no more than a few internal reports and some dented pride to show.
great stuff
A thoughtful article recognising that the world is a complicated series of interdependent shades of grey? It's an outrage!*
ular fan of the current government, it's going to be very hard indeed to get through the next few decades without some considerable darkening of our collective trouserings. Frankly I think all governments will turn out to be damned to a greater or lesser extent, whatever they do. The really good politicos will be the ones who can successfully distinguish tin-foil-hattery from sober and realistic assessment of probable threats to national well-being, and as this article demonstrates that's no easy task, even for those of us in the peanut gallery who like to feel we're always right about everything.
One minor point - Lewis is quite correct that a small fraction of our total energy consumption goes on food production, but that doesn't mean that significantly higher food prices won't be deeply unpopular and liable to cause, uh, political unrest, regardless of whether that inflation's imported or not. Economic pain is largely relative (when people are forced to chuck out there half-a-dozen plasma screens and replace them with a single family LCD model because of the power bills, they will moan about it.) "Prejudice burns brighter when it's all we have to burn" as someone once said, so my only prediction is: expect to see a big uptick in the more thuggish flavour knuckle-walking flavour of anti-immigrant / open borders / EU in the next decade or so. :(
Mine's the thick woolly one with the built-in earmuffs...
So it's all the Russians' fault?
Let me guess - are we compelled to nuke them then steal their energy supplies?
Do Mr Page's articles give anyone else "Dr Strangelove" flash-backs?
"...even if you don't worry about climate change."
Well ever since the Reg found a couple of IT consultants who told us it's all a big scam I've slept a lot easier I can tell you.
Miss Brown the next Miss World
"He has always wanted to seriously tackle world poverty, insecurity and inequality."
Can most definitely wait to see him in a bikini.
Organic food
Some food has to travel (if we want to eat it, that is). Things like coffee, tea, bananas and other tropical fruit, rice etc. don't grow well locally.
Growing food organically is an often overlooked way of keeping fuel related costs down on these products. No oil based agrichemicals, minimum machinery used and oil based packaging (plastics etc.). Organics are showing higher yields in the southern hemisphere as well, proving more drought and pest resistance.
Many organically grown flowers from Africa have a lower carbon footprint than those from Holland, even with travel included.
Food prices, security & environmental impact isn't always about distance, the method of production can have a huge impact too.
Disclosure of bias : I run a Fairtrade & Organic certified tea and coffee merchants (OxfordEthical.co.uk).
Food by Sail
Why can't tropical/exotic food stuffs be brought by sailboat - you know those boats that the British Empire used quite successfully to establish themselves as a global power? Sailboats create lots of jobs and don't exactly use a lot of energy to move, and modern sailboats are much, much faster than older traditional boats. Plus it'd be cool - sailing could be a career again and it'd give people real jobs while potentially cutting down on the number of consultants, software programmers, faceless bureaucrats, and bloggers.
@Food by Sail
Yar....I be thinking this is a great idea. Cause once again being a pirate would be a valuable career choice. Away from all these pesky ninjas!
Mines the one with the 2 pistols and the cutlass, and yes thats my parrot drinking all the rum.
Good article Lewis, but do you really have a gas-powered washing machine..?
@Rob Aley
Spot on. We hear everyone getting steamed up about "food miles" without considering the energy which goes into "local produce". I *do* like the beef/pork/lamb from our local producer, and I like to keep the money in the area, but I don't kid myself that its necessarily an environmentally friendly choice.
It is only in the last 50 years in the developed world that food has been plentiful: almost every culture has some variant of the Horn of Plenty which was the antithesis of grinding, enduring hunger, which was the norm. In many parts of the world this hunger is still the norm, and the average shopping trolley from Tesco/M&S/LIDL would be an unattainable fantasy.
Everything depends on everything else, and there are often unintended consequences of the best intentioned actions. However, we do know that where developing countries move into cash crops, and the cash goes not to the grower but to a despot, starvation will follow. To those who work in the fairtrade movement to ensure the money benefits the growers ... I salure you.
Transport Costs
As a Kiwi, I have always wondered at the EU's continued reliance on subsidies for its farmers.
Yes, like the Africans, when we market meat, veges, wool and butter to the UK and Europe we have to transport it thousands of miles to your supermarkets. Independent surveys show that the total energy input involved with growing and delivering the our products is a small fraction of that involved with European farming practices. To be green, you should eat more African/Australian/NZ/South American produce!
Seriously though, the idea of a fortress implies an ability to be totally self reliant and isolated, but Britain was never stronger than when it relied on its friends around the world.
As much as I hate to say it, I agree with Gordon on this one. Strength comes from comunication, commerce and communion with others. Despite what bloody drop-kicks they all are :-)
Notes from a conservative libertarian hippy.
Without doubt, the biggest energy drain is that caused by bureaucracy and government; much of our effort is spent satisfying the various departments that everything we do is above board and legal (according to their ever increasing portfolio of shit laws!).
Add to the above, the fact that they start ALL of the wars, and build ALL of the useless weapons; as the author suggested, the most effective weapon is the low-tech Kalashnikov, and I would add that a chainsaw is pretty dangerous too. Against the might of the American empire (which I actually support, even though they are specialists at muddled thinking (intelligent design anyone?)), the Afghanis and the Iraqis seem to be holding their own.
Ergo, get rid of Mr. Bean and all of his unproductive mates and we will be able to bath in spare energy. These morons can keep their subsidised wind energy, their nuclear energy, their wars, their weapons and their taxes, and go and boil their bottoms. If by some miracle, we managed to sideline these cretinous pygmies, we would probably only need to work for about one or two days a week, and be able to spend some of our new found spare time, growing non-intensive crops at home.
Notes: The Adam Smith Institute have stated that our overall tax burden is at least 75% of our effort, I think it is more (nearer 95%), because as I suggested above, we expend much of our energy on satisfying the government that everything we do is kosher. The Joseph Rowntree Trust has pointed out that since the Attlee government, (which was really the start of ideological and energy sapping government), the whole basis of their existence has been a waste of effort; the gap between those that are relatively rich, and those that are relatively poor has widened significantly.
Nuking the Russians
Great idea considering the rhetoric now coming out of Moscow and its rep at the UN that we in the UK are interfering in Zimbabwe's internal affrairs so it proves that nothing much has changed in Russia then and that similar (and sometimes worse things) go on there and lets not forget the business of the US defence shield which they seem to have a real beef about (it probably wont work very well anyway but the Russians are concerned that it just might and so render their arsenal rather useless for the moment at least)
Only trouble is, the Reds by another name control so much cash now that the weapons program is as we speak in overdrive along with more covert measures.
Just think about that poor guy that they poisoned over here (his name escapes me at present)
I fear that Russia is probably developing weapons more devastating than Trident could ever be.
Think we do indeed need to develop our own energy sources, pull up the drawbridge and get Aldermaston and Porton Down working on the next gen of nuclear and biological deterrents.
Food and energy
...are closely related. We burn (in the West) about ten calories of fossil fuel energy to put each calorie of food on our plate. We all know oil is in short supply (hence $147/barrel on Friday) but gas and coal are also failing to keep up with demand, globally, and we know there is yet another 40% rise in gas prices for us in the UK before years end. These prices are feeding directly into our food prices by raising costs, but the effect in the third world is different, There, the farmers are simply priced out of the market for fertilisers and diesel fuel for tractors and transport. The 'green' revolution which avoided mass starvation 40 years ago is going into reverse. Add in large scale crop failures from climate change (drought, if you prefer) in places like Australia, and you have global food shortages that are only going to get a lot worse. Already the early signs of widespread malnutrition are appearing in Pakistan. They have a huge population, strong grass roots support for Al Qieda and nuclear weapons...
Straw bear
"Moscow uses the cash to sustain the only military-industrial complex which can give the Western one a fight, meaning that the West must keep spending money on staying ahead".
My that was a good one (wiping tears from my eyes).
So the only reason the USA spends more on its armed forces than all the rest of the world put together is because it is afraid of the big bad mean Russians? And here was I thinking it was so the Yanks could make the rest of go on doing whatever they want.
@Steven Peperell, @james Pickett
Steve: That would directly address the true cause of global climate change; the dramatic fall in the numbers of pirates since the 1800s (www.venganza.org)
James: The hot water used by your wasing machine and either your dishwasher or your good old fashioned washing up generally comes from your boiler, and most of us have gas boilers. Some washing machines and dishwashers will heat the water or further heat it if it doesn't come from your boiler hot enough, but I would imagine that the efficiency of these heaters is limited.
Why can't tropical/exotic food stuffs be brought by sailboat
Because they go off whilst waiting to pass through Biscay in the winter. You're thinking of an era when the good people of Britain ate turnips and salt beef all winter.
>modern sailboats are much, much faster than older traditional boats
Yes, but you'd be hard pressed to match the 20-30 knots of a modern freighter.
The energy isn't transport, it's making fertilisers and insecticides, ploughing fields processing food from threshing to shrink wrapping.
some numbers and arguments
presenting the case that small holdings are more productive then big industrial farms. There is a related lecture by Noam Chomsky, if you google "chomsky automation" (sans quotes).
Also, why the verbal blowjob for Brown?
"All his political career, Gordon Brown has hated this sort of thing. He has always wanted to seriously tackle world poverty, insecurity and inequality. He spent ages at the Treasury building up funds to do so, and was reportedly quite miffed when a lot of the cash got sidetracked into paying the extra bills of the Iraq and Afghan wars.
He has always wanted to end the EU's protectionist farming regime, too, which would give the Third World a much fairer shake"
Has he really?
Subsidised produce from the EU is putting african farmers out of business. I remember reading, although I fail to find the article right now, that one of the conditions of the Gleneagles G8 debt writeoff was the removal of trade barriers, allowing more EU subsidised food into those countries.
To see what Brown reneged on within weeks of the Gleneagles G8 summit, and how some of what was reported was actually misreported and mis-represented ("Gordon Brown dropped a bomb. He admitted that the aid package the G8 leaders had promised "includes the numbers for debt relief." The extra money they had promised for aid and the extra money they had promised for debt relief were in fact one and the same." for those too lazy to read the article)
Come on, Lewis, I like El Reg's broader view, but why the unbiased fluff job for brown? you sound like a faggot to Browns prefect "well, he spent just ages at the treasury trying to do so, and was reportedly quite miffed".
Must try harder.
@Dunstan Vavasour
"I salure you"
Thanks...I think...my GCSE french tells me "salure" is the measure of salt in something...you therefore wish to measure my salt levels....it's good to have people looking out for my health! :)
@ Stephen Jenner
Right on, all we need to be able to do is to be able to recycle the wasted hot air, carbon and other energy and we would all really be better off.
Why are we scared of the Russians again?
"Moscow uses the cash to sustain the only military-industrial complex which can give the Western one a fight, meaning that the West must keep spending money on staying ahead."
So? Putin's Russia may not be a land of milk, honey, democracy and a genuine free market, but it's not the Soviet Union anymore, even if its air force still has red stars on its planes. The Soviets were a threat because up until Gorbachev just enough of their leaders still believed their own propaganda or at least felt they had to pay lip-service to it.
Putin's Russia doesn't have that sort of ideological baggage. Yes they want to be left alone to run their "managed democracy" as they see fit without Western interference, and yes they're grinding the heel on the Checens, but that's because rightly or wrongly they see Checnya as part of their territory.
If Putin really did want to restart the USSR, he could have absorbed Belarus in a moment any time in the last eight years - but he hasn't, much to Lukashenko's disappointment. And as for the idea that the Russians might want to head west again - why on earth would they when - as you say - we're such excellent customers for their oil and gas. It seems to me that the more we buy Russian gas the safer we are from them as they're hardly going to threaten their best markets.
Tropical fruits
I think your'll find most of the tropical/exotic fruits now travel by AIR.. Cargo A380's should bring the price down a bit but with the advent of high fuel costs that will negate the savings.
So.. Scrap your 20-30 knots and replace it with 400 knots-ish
42 days
Very useful article, thanks.
They have to be seen to be doing *something* about the threats they are trying to cow is with. So we have ID cards and 42 days and all that stuff. I think they know in their heart of hearts that it's all nonsense, but it gives them something to point to.
I would even go so far as to put up with all this scaremongery if I thought they might actually achieve something about world poverty and so on. But I don't. It's just another way of being seen to be doing something.
I'm with the comment about getting rid of the useless parasites and letting them do something useful with their time.
Sailboats - yeah, well if they can't get round the cape we'd just have to start eating seasonally again, wouldn't we?
@Tomothy Slade re. Electric Heater
"Some washing machines and dishwashers will heat the water or further heat it if it doesn't come from your [gas] boiler hot enough, but I would imagine that the efficiency of these heaters is limited."
I'm sure that the efficiency of an electric heater is 100% when used to directly heat an amount of water for use, whereas the efficiency of a gas boiler is less than 100% even with a modern condensing boiler. Since gas boiler heated water is usually stored in a hot water cylinder, this leads to further losses through the day, before it's used.
The overall cost of providing a washing machine load of hot water, by different methods, is something I've never tried to figure out.
@Timothy Slade
Most washing machines only have a cold water input, dishwashers too.
<smug> We run our washing machine via a wall thermostat/mixer into the 'cold' (only) inlet using solar or wood pellet fuelled hot water. (and begin extra anal - turning it down for rinsing) </smug>
I'd be surprised if many modern freighters ever hit 20 knots, never mind 30. The relationship between speed and energy is generally non-linear in the bad way. Even the military don't go racing around unless they really have to, since they don't want to run out of fuel in the middle of the ocean.
Cruising at ~30 knots is a challenge for anything without a nuclear powerplant.
So off topic its not even funny
Unless your washing machine is so old you have to crank it by hand it will be a cold feed machine.
These machines only have one water inlet hose which you connect to the cold water pipe, the water is heated entirely by the electric heater within the washing machine.
I believe this is partly due to the fact washing machines are designed to not waste water so they dont really draw enough water for the hot water to make it through to the machine (the stuff in the pipes will be cold)
It is therefore simpler to just fill with cold water and heat it with leccy.
Mines the anorak
Real Problem
Nice attempt at an analysis, but the biggest issue is over-population.
Maybe we haven't yet reached that point, and maybe we have, but sooner or later we will, so in many ways, lack of food is a good thing, as it has a much more direct effect than invisible pollution.
The perfect storm
Peak Oil, Peak Gas, Peak food.... Fuel wars, food wars?
Some fun times ahead and coming to a planet near you soon...
Food subsidies
Just to point out that the subsidies that go to EU farmers does not enrich them. It goes to cheaper food prices and higher profits to the agrichemical business.
Typical return on capital of a farm in the UK is MINUS 5-10% for the last 7 years!
When the Kiwis removed subsidies farmers made just the same money!
The air-ship kind, not the old fogey colonels. I am reading information on a Canadian initiative, underwritten by Boeing, about stable, controllable air-ships aiming mostly, I believe, for winching up and down and short-distance transport (Skyhook is the name of the company), but helium-aided movement of goods also seems like a good idea for global shipment of food. Cheap to run, could be reasonably fast, given that they can fly 'direct' rather than have to worth through straits and pinch-points such as Panama, and cheap to build, too, I think.
We can't close off part of the world from another. We're all in it together. We need to think globally purely for selfish reasons, if for no other. Lewis Page talked about the hungry hordes that could be at our gate. I would rather think of an equitable way to share energy, wealth, and food than to have it taken from me at the end of an AK. In a lifeboat, it doesn't matter how much money you have.
@ James Pickett
If your washing machine has a hot inlet hose and you have a gas-fired water heating system, then it gets its water heated by gas. Theoretically. What actually happens in practice is that the (by now stone-cold) water in the pipe from the water heater to the washing machine is almost enough to fill the machine (modern front-loaders don't actually use very much water; the outer tub is barely bigger than the inner drum). It then has to warm this up with its own electric water heater.
Electric water heaters are actually very efficient, turning 100% of the electricity supplied to them into heat. Unfortunately, about 300% of that much energy has already been wasted at the power station, in the form of heat pumped out into rivers and the atmosphere.
All dishwashers that I have ever seen have only a cold supply, because these use even less water than a washing machine.
Re: Food subsidies
If true, I suspect that the problem is one (or both) of:
a) Fear. A change is not nice because you could be worse off
b) Other subsidies would be affected. Such as BSE payments (three years after the MBM ban for cattle feed, farmers were STILL using it because it was cheap)
It could be a few of the bigger beneficiaries (agrochem business) are lobbying, though.
Oh, really?
My washing machine has hot and cold inlets, and doesn't heat any water itself (if there is no hot in the water storage tank, it washes cold), Robin, and I don't crank it by hand. It is slightly more then 5 years old. I was under the impression that it was more efficient to use gas to heat water directly then to use electricity when the whole picture is looked at (ie the efficiency of generating the leccy remotely, using gas/coal/etc to heat water, turning that into leccy, and transporting it to the home) The only dishwasher I have ever seen the plumbing to (at my parents house, when I was a kid) had a hot water inlet. So maybe my knowledge is out of date.
Oh, and it's 'Timothy', not 'Tomothy', but Tim will do.
I agree with Dave about over population.
@Robin Bradshaw
Well my washing machine is not that old and it has cold & hot water feeds. The move to just cold water feeds is because it's cheaper to manufacture. It is a great deal more efficient to heat the water locally with gas (about 85% efficient on the best boilers) rather than burn gas in a power station and produce electricity at 35% efficiency (all in with transmission - pumping gas also uses power, but then it has to be pumped to the power station too).
As far as the article is concerned, the relative thermodynamic inefficiency of electricity generation versus buring direct to produce heat is built into the laws of thermodynamics. Using low-grade waste heat for things like agriculture or district heating can improve the overall efficiency, but that requires infrastructure and for electricity generation to be local to domestic properties. The real need here is to improve domestic thermodynamic efficiency.
As to the comment about organics being more energy efficient, well that is not universally true. Studies show that for some crops then organic is less energy efficent due to the larger area of land that has to be cutivated for a given yield. Also, as far as I'm aware, organic agriculture still uses tractors for ploughing, muck-spreading, seed-drilling, harvesting, food processing and transport. The organic movement bears close relationship to a religion at times, with unquantified and unverifiable claims being the norm, and opposition in principle to some technologies, such as GM, rather than analysing issues on their merits.
As to the market with food security (or any other such issue), then the heavy interdependency of different parts of the world can be good in the sense it makes everybody have some interests in the welfare of other parts of the world. However, should that trust ever break down or lead to tensions or give some despotic regime control over key supplies then heaven help the world.
The market driven stuff about Africa feeding Europe if only trade barriers were torn down is, I feel, the triumph of economic rhetoric over reality. Zimbabwe is not in the parlous state it is because of trade bariers or EU subsidies. I for one don't much like the idea of being dependent on food supplies from corrupt regimes any more than I like the idea of being dependent on energy supplies from them.
There was an article in the New Scientist a few months back which dealt with the issue of the fragile interdependencies that we build into modern societies and economies. In a very real sense the societies and economies we have are much more vulnerable than those of the middle ages. Local self-sufficiency meant that the consequences of central supply failures were not so serious to individuals. Modern economies and societies are being built on ever more complex lines with break points. We need to think very seriously about the market drivers that are required to build more inherent robustness into the system of at some point there will be a catastrophic collapse. All through human history apparently strong and thriving civilisations have imploded due to internal and external events. Out one is not immune, it just has further to fall.
@Roy Stilling
we're such excellent customers for their oil and gas. It seems to me that the more we buy Russian gas the safer we are from them as they're hardly going to threaten their best markets.
And they would use this as leverage, so for example, Mugabe decides he wants his own nukes defend himself 'against the British colonialists' and you could be sure Russia would be first in line to be willing to supply him.
Meanwhile, we are completely dependent on Russian oil/gas but decide that we aren't happy with that policy so raise a motion at the UN calling for sanctions, Russia is miffed by this so decides to throttle our supply, just look what they did to Ukraine, you don't really think that had anything to do with pricing now did you?
What about water?
A far more pressing problem (especially in the Middle East) is where is the water to support the next generation going to come from? Countries like Israel already have terms like "water security" seeing as most of the water in their acquifers starts its journey in neighbouring and hostile Arab mountains. And then, the Palestinians are reliant on the Israelis for water, and likely to be for many years. The Jordanians already have strict laws around water wastage, and Egypt is a "shimmering jewel" only within five kilometers of the Nile. That is unless they all get nuke-powered desalination plants like the Saudis plan, and do we really want people like Hamas with access to nuke technology? Even European countries like Greece and Spain face water shortages in the future. Extrapolate this to Africa, where the old tribal divisions even in "stable democracies" like Kenya seem to reappear only too easily, and we have the prospect of serious water wars as regional populations continue to grow and adopt water-wasteful western lifestyles. Someone tell Mr Brown, quick - we all need water rationing too!!!!
/mine is the "I live by a river" blazer...
An Excuse for Rationing Cards
This could be an excellent excuse for the universal introduction of rationing cards instead of identity cards. This would solve the "Obesity Problem" by rationing the allowable calories per week per person with "smart chips" on the ration card. Food bought over the ration would be perfectly admissable but subject to 100% VAT, and of course there would be an annual revalidation charge to amend your calorie allowance as you progress from baby to the grave.
@Carolyn Clarke
It's no good you know. However cleverly you put forth the argument, they won't build you a zeppellin. The bastards.
An added element...
is the political situation in Africa. Some of the nations with millions of starving people didn't used to be (Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, etc.) Stupid, mostly pro-Communist takeovers and subsequent collectivization are what crushed the ability to produce food in those countries. Just throwing more Western aid over the river isn't going to fix the trouble.
"For ships in the size range of up to 1,500 teu, the speed is between 9 and 25 knots"
"The most popular speed for the 1,500-2,500 teu ships is 18-21 knots"
"In the 2,500-4,000 teu range, 90% of the ships have a speed of 20-24 knots."
"80% of the ships that are larger than 6,000 teu have a speed of 24-26 knots."
Well, yes, 30 knots is perhaps a tad generous, but I did give a broad range.
Apparently the worlds fastest:-
1. Hanjin Bremerhaven Specifications
- 58,000 DWT (Dead Weight Ton)
- Container capacity: 6,655TEUs
- Engine output: 93,000 hp
- Width: 40m; Length: 304m
- Twice as large as a football field
- Operation Speed: 27 knots (50 km/h); The world's fastest super-high speed container vessel
good job it's raining otherwise there'd be riots
So, being reliant on Russian gas is "worse than giving money to Gulf oil states" ... how does that work then? Have we become inexorably embroiled in some dubiously initiated hideously expensive terrorist rebuffal of discontinuous Moscovite cells after spending decades funding and training their religiously fanatical followers too?
Time to forget politics and look at Issues
We in the UK waste about 98% of our effort deciding whether all the problems in the world are due to Liberals or Tories or fascists or Almighty Bob that we have no energy left to actually face up to the problems and deal with them!
Time to leave politics aside methinks and stop blaming whoever it is you normally blame for everything which is bad (I blame earwigs personally!) and take a good, hard look at what's going on, what needs to be done and do what we need to do, not complain about Brown or whoever you choose being a fool.....solve the problem and fight the urge to blame someone else.....
alien because the above concept will be to many..

Spokane Public School officials sent out 238 layoff notices to school district employees this week. District officials feel they don't have enough state funding, despite the fact their budget is higher than it has ever been before, and they are educating 3,000 fewer students than they did just 10 years ago.
Among those who have been told they might be terminated:
Late last month, WPC submitted a column to the Spokesman-Review newspaper in Spokane regarding Spokane's Central City Alternatives Analysis project. Spokane Transit Authority CEO Susan Meyer has graciously clarified some of the points made in that column. Her thoughts are bolded below.
Chris Cargill: Efficiency should guide choice of downtown transit planThe Spokesman-Review - April 24, 2011
An assistant superintendent for Spokane Public Schools made a surprising comment last night when addressing the district's budget woes. Staci Vesneske, in an interview with KXLY4 News, said "what has happened is, as costs for education have risen, the state funding has not."
Fewer students are dropping out of Spokane-area schools, and taxpayers didn't have to spend an extra $30 million to make it happen.
Spokane Public Schools says its on-time graduation rate improved by almost 8% in 2010.That means the district's graduation rate increased to 70%.
Other Spokane-area school districts saw similar improvements, including East Valley, which saw its graduation rate improve an astounding 27%.
Anyone looking for an example of the transparency games being played in Olympia needs look no further than what is happening today. A Senate Ways and Means hearing is scheduled for 1:30pm today, and at 12:09pm Senate Bill 5754 was added to the agenda. SB 5754 concerns publication of tax data to ensure the transparency of Washington's tax preferences.
The less than 90 minutes notice gives people from Eastern Washington no opportunity to go to Olympia to testify on the bill. In fact, it barely gives them time to phone or email their Senator with questions.
Government officials in the City of Spokane have apparently decided voters did not know what they were doing when they voted to limit the price of vehicle registrations.
The City Council on Monday night voted 4-3 to impose a city-wide car tab fee of $20, without asking voters for approval. And there's a good chance most of the money won't be used to fix the streets.
Two Spokane-area school district bonds were rejected by voters on Tuesday, prompting a local school district official to make a disappointing assertion.
Voters in the Mead School District said no to a $49 million bond by a 48-52% margin.
The Central Valley School District put a $69 million bond before voters to build a new school and renovate aging schools, but it also failed, by a 46-54% margin.
Just when we thought Washington's east against west mindset was starting to settle down, it has boiled back up. Several Western Washington legislators have introduced bills that would allow the legislature to dissolve counties that don't generate enough state tax revenue--and most of the targets are in Eastern Washington.
Washington Policy Center's analysis on the Children's Investment Fund initiative in Spokane has prompted a false assertion in a September 30th article written by Jody Lawrence-Turner in The Spokesman-Review newspaper.
On August 17th, Washington Policy Center environmental director Todd Myers and Eastern Washington office director Chris Cargill, toured the Hanford Nuclear site. This is the area where emergency crews practice their response to any eventuality.
City officials in Spokane, facing a $12 million budget shortfall, are now considering a potpourri of new taxes and fees to fill the gap.
In addition to asking for a 1% hike in property taxes, Mayor Mary Verner is supporting a new vehicle tab fee in Spokane. The $20 fee would boost the cost of vehicle licensing for Spokane residents to $63.75 per year. It was just 11 years ago that Washington voters approved I-695, capping licensing fees at $30 per year. Cities in Washington are allowed to add vehicle licensing fees on top of the state fees.
The Mayor says the city will use the money for street maintenance, despite proclamations from council members that it would be used elsewhere to fill budget holes.
Meantime, Spokane City Councilmember Richard Rush wants to impose another new tax on pay parking lots, to the tune of $75 per space. The money will be passed on to shoppers and workers who use those spaces in downtown Spokane.
If all of these are passed, the average Spokane resident is likely to pay more than $200 a year in additional taxes- just to the city of Spokane. That doesn't include the more than $800 million in new taxes passed by the legislature in Olympia in the last session.
The $12 million shortfall is not because Spokane residents are not generous in paying their taxes. Rather, it is because the city overspends the money it already has in the bank. It needs look no further than union worker contracts. In 2011, the city of Spokane's police union is getting another week and a half of paid vacation and a 4% salary raise. Private sector workers in Spokane are struggling through the recession and not getting extra vacation time and pay increases.
During an economic downtown, government officials have to get creative. Raising taxes and fees on voters to fill a budget gap and increase union contracts is not creative. It will only hurt the local economy in the short and long term.
While cutting back core public services, Spokane County Commissioners voted 2-1 this week to spend another $588,000 taxpayer dollars to make upgrades to Spokane Raceway Park. Commissioners Todd Mielke and Mark Richard voted in favor, Commissioner Bonnie Mager voted against.
The Raceway Park was purchased by the county for $4.3 million in a controversial move several years ago. Since then, the county has spent $1.1 million on repairs. Meanwhile, most county departments are still trying to figure out how to cut 12.5% from their budgets. The park was purchased under the assumption it could lead to economic development. It hasn't yet. Even if it eventually does, government does not have a responsibility to own and operate raceway facilities.
Next year, Spokane County Commissioners plan to ask voters to raise property taxes even higher to build a new jail. Money spent on the raceway could and should have been used on essential government services, such as the jail. The purchase and subsequent managing of the raceway is yet another example of the struggles government faces when it gets involved in running a business that can be better-served in private hands.
Residents throughout Washington state are going to find something out this week that people in Spokane and Bellingham already know- dishwashing detergent without phosphorus doesn't always do a very good job washing dishes.
Starting July 1st, a state-wide ban on dishwashing detergent with phosphorus goes into effect. The ban is nothing new in Spokane and Whatcom counties, which yanked the detergent from the shelves in 2008. The phosphorus, environmental groups say, degrades water quality in lakes and streams. Before the ban, detergent like Cascade had phosphorus levels of roughly 5-6%. After the ban, dishwashing detergent companies sold a phosphate-free product, but it left dishes looking dirty with a cloudy substance caked on glasses. Some of the initial problem was because of Spokane's 'hard water.'
In Spokane, since the ban went into place, estimates have varied as to how effective it has really been. One estimate, from this Spokesman-Review article, says there has been just a 10.7% drop in the phosphorus levels in the Spokane River. The Spokane office of the Washington State Department of Ecology says it's doing a 'quality assurance report' to see exactly what kind of impact the ban is having on the water.
But the results may not be that much more promising. The reason? Like crossing state-lines to avoid Washington's high tobacco tax, dishwashing detergent smugglers continue to make their way into Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene to buy detergent with phosphorus. At one Wal-Mart in Idaho, a cashier said she could tell who was from Idaho and who was from Washington, simply by looking to see how much detergent they were buying. Recently, stores in Idaho have begun selling only phosphorus-free detergents.
Also, water in the Spokane River comes from North Idaho- where phosphorus detergents are still widely being used.
In Spokane County, any environmental benefits gained by banning the phosphorus detergents have been lost by people who jump in their cars and travel the 10-20 miles across state lines to buy their dishwashing detergents, and by people who are actually washing the dishes twice.
Furthermore, the ban has cost the state of Washington sales tax revenue and cost many grocery stores business. All of this effort is not worth just a 10.7% drop in phosphorus levels in the Spokane River.
Spokane Mayor Mary Verner today announced a budget outline for the upcoming fiscal year that trims some jobs, does not raise taxes, and asks city unions to accept more responsibility for the cost of their own health care.
The Mayor's proposal seeks to cut $10 million from the city's budget. To do that, she wants to eliminate 18.5 police positions, nine firefighter positions, and reduce some city services to just four days a week. Many of the eliminated positions don't necessarily mean job cuts, as some openings will just remain vacant.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the proposal is the mayor's request that some city workers be willing to consider changing the way the city funds their health care coverage. The mayor wants to cap taxpayers' annual exposure to health care premium increases at 4%. That means if health care premiums in subsequent years increase 10% (which has been the case in recent years), city union workers would have to pick up the remaining 6% of the tab or pick a different health benefit. Right now, various unions in the City of Spokane pay as little as 6% or as much as 25% of their benefits. Taxpayers cover the rest.
Washington Policy Center recommends state workers also open up their contracts to pay more for their own health care costs. Right now, state workers pay nothing for their dental care and far-less than their private sector counterparts for health benefits. While the workers enjoy great benefits, taxpayers are the ones left holding the bill.
It's sad when hospitals that went into business to help people be healthy, have to battle over expansion efforts that would create more jobs and better access to health care. But that's what is going on in the Tri-Cities right now.
The headline in the weekend edition of the Tri-City Herald says it all; "Tri-City hospitals at war." The fight is required by an outdated, unneeded state process called the 'Certificate of Need.' It puts state officials, not medical professionals, in charge of deciding how large a medical facility a community needs.
In this case, Kadlec and Kennewick General Hospitals are both being forced to criticize the other to get a thumbs-up for expansion from the state. Kadlec wants to add 114 beds, while Kennewick General seeks an additional 25. Chances are slim that both expansion permits would be approved, because the state believes adding more hospital beds to a community drives up costs. This has been proven to be untrue and the information the state uses to decide the expansion process is unreliable.
So instead of concentrating on providing the best and most cost-effective care for patients, the hospitals have been questioning the other's occupancy rates for weeks. More public hearings are planned in the coming month. The state says the CON process, usually taken one-by-one, helps keep other hospitals in business. But what happens when two hospitals apply at the same time? The answer is simple- government officials pick the winner.
Last year, state officials rejected a much-needed expansion of Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane which would have created hundreds of jobs, expanded medical care and made Sacred Heart the largest hospital in the state. The next time someone in the Tri-Cities can't get adequate medical care because of a lack of hospital beds, we'll know who to blame.

November 9, 2012
Wichita Heights head football coach Rick Wheeler announced his resignation today. Wheeler will remain at the school as athletic director.
Wheeler led the Falcons to three consecutive 6A state title games. Heights won the state title in 2010.
Heights finished the season last week with a playoff loss at Hutchinson.
Statement released by Wheeler;
I feel blessed to have worked with many young men and coaches, who believed in a vision, and made countless sacrifices to change forever what "Heights Football" represents. This morning I meet with our players and informed them that I am stepping down as the Head FB coach at Heights HS. I will remain in my current position at the Athletic Director. I returned to Heights in 1999 to take over the program where I basically started my coaching career and for the last 14 years I have been fortunate to lead this program and compete at the highest levels possible in our state. I will always be grateful to Marc Haught for giving me the opportunity to return to Heights as the head coach. For any HS coach to be successful in today's world there has to be tremendous support from the administration. I have had that support from our administration throughout my tenure as the football coach.
I believe that this decision is best for my family and myself, and I have the continued support of my wife Konnie and daughter Madison. The Wheeler family will never be able to express our appreciation for the support that we felt from the Wichita community after Regan passed in March of 2010. I am proud to be a part of this community.
Rick Wheeler

ammoglio . . . and Detroit?
I bought some ammoglio today at Alcamo's in Dearborn. This is a fresh tomato sauce, spiked with alot of fresh garlic and herbs. Very pungent and, I think, wonderful.
I grew up in the Chicago area and do not recall this Italian sauce there.
Looking up ammoglio on the Web, most of the references seem to come from metro Detroit. Where does ammoglio come from? Sicily? I was in Sicily last year and did not see it there--although I certainly could have missed it.
Why is it so popular in Detroit area?
According to this website, it's just a midwestern Sicilian immigrant thing:
I'd like to know what the correct spelling is, if there is one. I've seen amoglio, ammoglio, amoghio, ammoghio, among others.
Dei Fratelli has a product called Italian Dip which I think they used to call ammoglio. Not bad if you can't find it fresh.
I just had some of this last weekend at my brothers....it's definitely a new trend. We're not Italian, but everyone seems to be serving it lately. Anyone have a recipe? It tasted great! It's like Italian salsa...
I've never had this at a restaurant. I'm a firefighter and ammoglio was introduced to me at work. Every time I've had it it was served with thin steak, breaded and fried like chicken parm. The cold ammoglio is then spooned over the hot steak. I've made it myself with a can of petite cut diced tomatoes, chopped garlic, good olive oil, and herbs.
re: orangewhip
At my brother's house, he served it on breaded fried chicken, just like you described with the steak. Did you drain the tomatoes and then put the whole thing in the blender? I think that's what my bro did....I'll have to ask him.
I was just at my husband's friend's house yesterday (in Metro Detroit), where his wife (of Sicilian descent) had just made a batch of ammoglio out of fresh cherry tomatoes from her garden. Her recipe: take a bunch of ripe tomatoes, score the skins, blanch for a minute and then plunge into an ice bath. Remove skins. Rough chop tomatoes and place in strainer to remove excess liquid. (seeds are not removed) Pulse three times in a food processor to produce a very slightly chunky puree. (her husband likes it pretty smooth, but texture is up to you) Add a glug of EVOO, crush as much garlic as you can stand, and sprinkle some oregano, S+P to taste. (fresh basil did not make an appearance). She also said that you can make it with canned tomatoes in the winter.
re: keslacye
Thanks--my garden tomatoes are almost ripe!
We had this at a pot luck many years ago... basically an Italian "salsa fresca." Have it a number of times since, and the most recent at Sweet Lorraine's when you get the foccacia and then you get the pungent raw tomato sauce dip. It's been great every time we've had it.
Sweet Lorraine's Cafe & Bar
333 E Jefferson Ave, Detroit, MI 48226
Ammoglio is a U.S. interpretation of the Sicilian word Ammogghiu or in Sicilian-American slang is pronounced "moigu". Google ammogghiu instead. You'll be surprised. It is particular to Sicilian-Americans in Michigan, Massachusetts and Arizona because it started in the coastal regions (aka fishermen) of their ancestors from northern Sicily along the Golfo di Castellammare. I assumed for years it was an Sicilian-American concoction. Have visited Sicily several times and would ask for it in restaurants with a response of a puzzled stare from the waiter. At a Terrasini seaside restaurant I asked for it and was delighted to receive a bowl of this marinade. My Sicilian grandmother born in early 1880s introduced it to our family in America to be used as a room temperature topping (usually after grilling) for meats, poultry and some fish. Oregano was the orignal spice to peeled tomatoes, garlic, lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper. Basil was an adaptation. Spelling of this marinade can be problematic since in pre- Mussolini Sicily, Sicilian was the predominate language; after all the Kingdom of Due Sicilie was an independent Kingdom until the 1860s. Google - SIcilian language. "O" is "U" in many instances.
re: janicep443
Janice--Very interesting. Molto grazie per la informazione!
Maybe my next trip will be to Terrasini, until then I'll make do with the ammogghiu at Alcamo's in Dearborn.
Which reminds me that my recent visit to Eataly in NYC was a let down: I would prefer a good family-run Italian market any day to Batali's monstrosity.
re: trapani
Batali is an embarassment to the italian community. He is to pompus. But that is my opinion. I'm sicilian and a lot like "MA" on the Golden girls...........
There is a lot of speculation regarding the name of this sauce and why it is called what it is. Sicilian was and is a very convoluted language, with very little consistency, and very skewed pronunciations of things. It is a very confusing branch-off of proper Italian, so is not really a language, but more of a dialect, or a collection of inconsistent slang terms. It does not follow proper Italian, and the majority of their nouns, verbs, and pronunciations are made-up, or are a very fractured version of the correct ones. With that being said, it seems that the most agreed-upon and logical correct spelling and explanation is "ammoglio". which comes from the Italian verb, "ammogliare", which means "to marry". "Ammoglio" is the singular, present tense of the verb and means "I marry". Many chefs and linguists feel the sauce was called ammoglio, because of the blending or 'marrying' of the ingredients, and because the sauce is 'married' to certain dishes; almost always steak and chicken. One poster on here states, erroneously, that the word 'ammoglio' is an American interpretation of a sicilian word.That is just not correct. In actuality, the word 'ammogghiu' is a completely fractured and non-sensical version of the verb 'ammogliare' conjugated to the 'ammoglio' form. When pronouncing the word, the 'g' is largely silent, because in Italian, the 'gli' blend is pronounced with the 'g' very soft, so it all but disappears. Because of people not knowing how to pronounce Italian words, and because of the fractured sicilian pronunciations that have flooded the languge, the sauce is often called uh-MOG-you, which is completely incorrect and makes no sense. Ammoglio is the correct word, and any other versions were born out of shortening it, incorrect pronunciations, or just a plain absence of knowing what the correct word is.
re: findsthetruth
If you mean the Italian language, you are correct. Sicilian is a written language with literature dating back to the 12th century. Dialect variations exists throughout Sicily and from town to town. The Italian language was not introduced to most of the population of Italy until unification post 1860s when the Tuscan language was introduced as the standard for all of Italy. Many Sicilans still speak the language and refer to their foods in Sicilian both in Sicily and abroad. Google - Dr. Gaetano Cipolla at St John's University for more on the Sicilian language. Another example would be artichoke. In Italian it is carcofi and in Sicilian it is cacocciùla, sometimes pronounced with a hard C as Kaa.
re: findsthetruth
Interesting indeed. Linguistics aside, I mightily enjoyed a recent stop at Alcamo's & many spoonfuls of the ammoglio in the days following.
I'm Sicilian and we used it on grilled chicken and steak. Made it with stewed tomatoes, onion garlic and sometimes green peppers cooked down and then used like barbecue sauce.

Birds help control insects
By Ray Ridlen
The scissor-tailed flycatcher, the Oklahoma state bird, a long-tailed insect-eating bird closely related to the kingbird, is one of many birds that help control insects in the environment. Adult birds have grey upper parts, light underparts with pinkish flanks, dark wings and an extremely long black tail. Insects are their main source of food, but they will also eat some berries.
The Northern Oriole perhaps is best known for its hanging, basket-like nest. The female constructs the intricately woven nest on the end of a tall tree branch. Orioles inhabit deciduous woodlands of elm and cottonwood along streams and around towns and farms. Caterpillars, beetles and other tree-dwelling insects comprise most of the orioles' diet, but they also eat small fruits and nectar of some flowers. The oriole is well known for the male's fiery orange and black plumage. Females have an orange-yellow breast and olive-brown back and wings.
In flight, a distinctive white bar can be seen on the underside of each wing of the mottled brown Common Nighthawk. Their name is derived from their feeding behavior in which they "hawk" (catch in mid-air) night-flying insects such as moths and beetles. They are closely related to whippoorwills and Chuck-will's widows. Nighthawks do not build a conventional nest, they scrape a shallow depression in the ground for two speckled brown eggs that both adults incubate, and camouflage if they leave the nest.
Scarlet tanagers are found in large tracts of mature oak and hickory forests in the eastern fifth of Oklahoma. Males are a brilliant scarlet-red with black wings and tail feathers. Females are a soft yellowish-green with slightly darker wings and tail. Tanagers spend most of their time in tree canopies searching for insects, but will eat small fruits when available, especially on their wintering grounds in forests of Venezuela and northern Brazil.
Cliff swallows nest in colonies throughout Oklahoma where each pair constructs an oven-shaped nest of mud on the side of a cliff, under a bridge or building eaves. They are most common in Oklahoma's western and central counties. Their diet is made up of small flying insects. Distinguished by its long pointed wings, square tail, orange rump patch and buff-colored forehead, cliff swallows have one of the longest migration routes, traveling to southern Brazil and Argentina for the winter.
The small black-capped vireo, once common in western and central Oklahoma, with only a few hundred remaining today, mostly in the scrub oak-covered hillsides of the Wichita Mountains. Males have a black cap and neck. The female's cap is gray, both have white speckles and yellowish sides. They mostly eat caterpillars and other insects. The vireo's nest is a small hanging cup of grass, lichen and spider webs, suspended from a shrub's branch two to five feet above the ground.

On Friday, the State Department released the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the much-debated Keystone XL Pipeline. What follows is an open letter of sorts to the representatives of Nebraska in the United States Congress.
In a release received via email this week from the CEO and General Counsel of the National Newspaper Association, Tonda F. Rush, the opening line read this: "Unlimited Postal Rate Increases Proposed by Senate Leaders." Say WHAT?????
There has been another recent push to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline. Canada just came public urging the U.S. to decide on the project, a 1,200 mile pipeline that would carry an estimated 830,000 barrels of oil from the Alberta tar sands each day.
The narrative that the welfare system is broken and ripe with fraud has gone too far.
As I sat down to finish writing this on Tuesday, I have learned of another shooting making headlines today, which injured three people on a Texas college campus.

Record sale expected for YSL auction; Kate Moss self-portrait fails to meet reserve
More details of that mega auction of the late Yves Saint Laurent's art collection have been revealed. A record sale is expected of the designer's works, which could fetch up to £240m at Christie's in Paris.
Among the several hundred items to go under the hammer by Laurent's partner Pierre Berge, are pieces by Picasso, Matisse and Mondrian.
"I believe in circulating works of art," Berge told WWD.
Meanwhile, Kate Moss's lipstick self-portrait has sold to private owner for £33,600 after failing to meet its reserve price at auction.
We first told you about the painting last week, which features blood stains from her ex Pete Doherty, who also owned the piece. The drug addicted rocker then sold the portrait to an anonymous buyer after he split from the supermodel. That buyer put it up for auction at Lyon & Turnball, where it only reached a bit of £25,000 a whopping £15,000 off the asking price.
Perhaps the fact that it's utterly gross turned potential bidders away?

Kit attacks Microsoft keyboards (and a whole lot more)
Obscurity ?
XOR isn't even security through obscurity. I wonder why they even bothered, typical Microsoft botchering up something simple. Either you use a cypher or you don't. XOR is just stupid. They should have stuck with double ROT13. The security is pretty much the same, but at least it has a *double layer* of protection.
Whatever happened to the email app?
Incredimail ??
I wasn't really sure what that was so I looked it up. Apparently it's Hello Kitty Email meets MySpace cuteness (puppies !!!) and it only runs on Windows.
It's obviously an essential piece of kit. I instantly installed it in my virtualized XP.
Then I reduced the memory size and I watched it suffer. It was great !
Kentucky woman breastfeeds sheriff's deputy
Spewing fluids and the abuse thereof (yuck)
Any body fluid ?
How about perspiration ?
I'm glad I don't (that I know) and probably won't have any kids. I certainly don't want to have to undergo any special training to be allowed to manage all the stuff they continuously spew out of their various orifices during their early years. I'd have to hire a plastic clad nurse. With my luck she (or he) would come with warts and weigh 135 kilos.
And there have been *many* cases of female humans actively abusing (sexually even, eww, gross) the offspring of the species. Won't anybody think of the grubs ?
Uh, underlings ?
I agree that today's society should be taken out back and shot.
So a redneck mom goes into a bank...
"Put the money into a paper bag or I squeeze it into your eye !"
Microsoft unplugs middling Windows server
Cloud computing
Your data, we wants it
World of Google zombies mistake news story for Facebook
I gave up on users a long time ago
For what it's worth I stopped a while ago.
Now I just recommend people stick to paper and pencil. For the few who are literate. Or a tape recorder.
I used to think that people could use Linux merely because it had the exact same kind of window/menu/icon interface as pretty much any other system. But then users can't use any other system. How silly of me.
Google yanks IE6 love from web apps
Bastard Google
First they don't even support Gopher, now they remove IE6 !
At least lynx still works. Hrumpf.
Mine's the one with the VT120 in the pocket.
Schwartz puts comforting arm around stricken Sun
12 000 candles ?
Damn, that's a lot of CO2 ! It must be a plan to flood Ellison's beach house.
You aren't allowed to have sex in the US. That's why there are so many storks over there.
Verified by Visa bitchslapped by Cambridge researchers
"Merchants who use it push liability for fraud back to banks, who in turn push it on to cardholders,"
Sounds like security to me. It makes the bank's money more secure. Wasn't that the point ?
I'll pay cash, thank you. Where's my wallet ?
Scott McNealy signs off in style
I fear that Sun will go the way of Silicon Graphics (and I don't believe the current SGI has much to do with the Silicon Graphics of yore).
I'll have one to the memory of Sun.
Lost mobiles to pile up in taxis in run up to Xmas
As a part time cab driver...
I only work as a cab driver a couple months par year, I also run a seasonal second hand used tech shop on e-bay.
Anyway I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's good for the economy.
Prevx blames Microsoft for black
hawk screen down
Back is the new blue ?
On a semi related topic, I've been trying to "downgrade" my Windows 7 prerelease which is a Windows "all included" version to Windows home (which I actually bought directly from Microsoft.
Except downgrading is not allowed. So I theoretically have to re-download all of my Steam games (which is what the Windows partition is for).
I'm still working on it (there are apparently hacks around this, some of which don't seem to work) but this is one of the many reasons that have kept me off Windows for the past 15 years (working with the MS people at the time and knowing a number of inside things was another...)
So I run Linux and it works for me (I also worked with the Apple people). I'd still like to be able to run my games and I'm really not into consoles, so unfortunately I still dedicate a disk to our evil overlords and spin it up every now and then.
Kent Police exceeded powers in too-tall photographer case
Easy fix
Obviously there should be more terrorism in Kent so that the police force starts to learn its job.
Hoaxed US Chamber thumps pranksters with blunt instrument
Obvious fake US chamber of commerce guy
He didn't even have a pencil over his ear. That was a dead giveaway IMO.
Obviously those pranksters poorly researched their subject.
Aussie Sex Party in evangelist head-to-head
Still going on in this day and age ?
I find it appalling that today, in 1609, some people still fall for this kind of crap.
Um, wait...
They should just sacrifice the evangelists, it should "purify" the place in no time. And the country at the same time.
North Wales Police institute new happiness law
Firearms car ?
WTF is a firearms car ?
Has Q been selling his wares on eBay ?
As a semi-pro photographer, wherever I go a few cameras follow. Astoundingly, so far I haven't been arrested in Britain. Maybe I ought to go to Wales.
Because it's so obvious that "terrists" will go about with a big DSLR and a discrete 70-200 in order to get the sharpest possible pictures. And then they'll probably upload them to Flickr's "Terror" group too... So much better than a quick sketch.
Now I think the police just do what they're told to (and a lot of them, not being too bright to start with, just go ahead with that), but the real problem is whoever starts them on that track. Those people are often elected officials, and are obviously not playing with a full deck. They should be put away (or preferably taken back and shot).
Samsung GT-B2100 Solid Extreme rugged phone
Not rugged enough
When I'm diving 600m deep in acid, I want to be able to take pictures while listening to the radio dammit !
This is "rugged lite", you can actually lift it with one hand, what kind of phone is this ?
Also it doesn't even run Linux and doesn't have a full keyboard. How am I to email headquarters when the Russian sub taps the well head at -870m on our polar oil well ?
Pitiful I say.
I'm not even going to comment on the lack of poisoned spikes or flame throwers.
Google Android future haunted by fragmentation past
Phone quality is beyond crap
Most of the phones I've used, even the simple ones, managed to have their system crash on a regular (if not daily, thanks Sony !) basis. Whatever the brand The quality of those products is just atrocious. Even Microsoft never released anything this shoddy.
The best way to break Linux is to give it to phone manufacturers. Those people will wreck anything.
Second open-source Silverlight hits beta
Silverlight should go away, and take Moonlight with it
I still haven't seen a single non-Windows machine with Silverlight installed, and then those only had it because it was somehow pushed with the updates. I've never tried it (I met maybe 3 or 4 sites using it) and I'm certainly not about to pollute my machine with this crap which probably doesn't even work outside of the few test cases on the dev site (as usual).
I've seen very few non-US sites using this thing and there doesn't seem to be that many in the US either. And hopefully we'll eventually be rid of those crappy add-ons with HTML5 (crossing fingers). They're not indexable, not bookmarkable and make a mess of content. Thankfully most clueless web agencies have stopped using them site-wide (except for the "artsy" types, by far the worst of the lot to work with).
This crud should just die a quick death. It's pitiful how bad it is.
CentOS back from brink of death
Why all the fuss ?
All of this doesn't make much sense to me. The business world already has standardized on a distribution. Most places run RedHat because a proper contract makes the PHBs feel good, whether it's useful or not. Other distributions are only used when the admins have their say (doesn't happen that often in non tech places) or in smaller shops.
And even if CentOS vanished tomorrow, DimeOS would take over in a couple weeks. Its users probably wouldn't even have time to be impacted.
And re. the Mac, an awful lot of the people who have tried OS X (myself included) quickly came back to Linux / Unix. That horrible mess with its mangled filesystem, numerous quirks and poor i18n was just as bad as Windows to me. Unless you needed an application that ran in it, few people I know stuck with Apple's system, especially given their tendency to not be very open (and the pain of dealing with their users).
I know my iBook has been a doorstop for two years now, replaced it with a random Samsung PC that works just as well, doesn't always require an external mouse (X11 with 1 button is just too painful) and runs a KDE desktop just fine.
And now I can easily type all of the Latin-9 charset without looking up a table, in a logical way, and I have a lazy mouse focus which does *not* pop windows to the front. All of which are among the minimum essentials I expect from any current machine (Windows doesn't deliver either in that area : you *still* can't reliably type in French in Windows).
MacOS certainly isn't the best thing out there unless you set your requirements pretty low. It's better than Windows XP but that's not saying much.
From tracking sex performance to tracking sex offenders...
There's an app for that
Ok, the apps for the stupid Apple phone have long gone from stupid to inane and are now entering the surreal but now that they start mapping [group], I expect the whole thing to self destruct any time.
Please make one that maps non Apple phone users and nearby weapon dealers so this can finally be sorted out in the streets.
And I won't even comment on the "sex offender" thing (pee in the street ? sex offender !). People who download this map app should be scheduled for immediate termination.
Cowon D2+ DAB
The D2 already was a great player
Not quite sure if the DAB is a worthy addition (I would prefer RDS on FM) but the base of the D2 is very solid with great sound, especially compared to the rest of the market. The radio was an especially nice touch for me since I use it quite a lot (France has some great radio programs).
And of course the long battery life is a boon. Definitely a winner for me.
I also use mine for video every now and then and despite the small screen it works fine (you probably don't want a film with a huge amount of details though). I had to tweak a video conversion script to make files for it but it works pretty well now (never tried the Cowon tools since I don't run Windows).
I once had a Creative for a couple months before it found a new life via eBay. The thing was just unusable.

Priest can make claim for unfair dismissal

After his release from prison in 1985, Joe Pegg settled into a typical normal life, doting on his wife and children, sponsoring youth soccer clubs, and building a new home in the suburbs and a marina in North Miami Beach.
But Joe was no run-of-the mill suburban dad from Weston.
How many of his peers could order a freighter filled with 90 tons of marijuana from the docks of Colombia?
How many barbecue kings had summoned fleets of fishing trawlers, sailboats and power boats to bring those drugs ashore or private jets to fly cases of cash out of the country?

Well, what's the function of each? Given that, how might you develop one in the absence of the other? (That is, do you need the outline to develop the thesis statement? Or do you need the thesis statement to begin developing the outline?) Once you have a better feel for what the thesis statement is, you'll have a better feel for how it relates to your outline.
