Jutta Schmitt // 'Solar Radiation Management' or Manhattan Project 2.0? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 873799 Bahrain 04/12/2010 09:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Every technology on the market today is based on alternating current technologies in relation with semiconductor technologies and if these were seriously threatened this would mean, in the final analysis, that everything that we nowadays need to live, work and recreate ourselves, could be destroyed. -- Uwe Behnken -- University of Los Andes (ULA) senior lecturer in political sciences, Jutta Schmitt writes: It's intriguing. Just barely a week after the Asilomar Conference on Climate Intervention Technologies had taken place in Pacific Grove, California, we heard honorable knights for the defense of global climate integrity, such as the American Enterprise Institute's Resident Fellow and Co director of the AEI geo-engineering Project Lee Lane, advocate a global imposition of geo-engineering technologies on behalf of the advanced, industrialized states of the world in the firm conviction, that "geo-engineering experiments shouldn't require global agreement," because these would in any case be guided by the shining light of the government of the United States and its noble constitutional obligation to promote the welfare of the American people. This is how Lane evokes 'American national interest,' this magic, self-sufficient concept that justifies the use of any means in order to obtain, that is, impose the desired objective. (1) Why declare geo-engineering experiments a matter of 'national interest' (read: national security interest)? Why not declare the well-being of the planetary climate and overall ecosystems a matter of national or planetary security interest for that matter, and subsequently demand the immediate discontinuance of irrational profit production and unbound consumerism, which got us into this mess in the first place? Why this sudden, violent interest in geo-engineering experiments by scientists, international climate panels, United Nations entities, policy centers, research facilities, scientific communities and even Think Tanks with their scores of fellows and scholars? Why did we not see the same violent interest with regard to a binding commitment at the Rio, Kyoto or Copenhagen Earth Summits? And why call for the global imposition of geo-engineering technologies on behalf of the 'advanced, more industrialized states' of the world? Furthermore, if geo-engineering experiments are all of a sudden being considered imperative, why does the so-called scientific community, as well as civil and military authorities in various countries of the world deny the fact that one of the proposed climate intervention techniques, pertaining to Solar Radiation Management, has already and progressively been implemented on a considerably large scale since years? The hard facts on the ground -- or in the sky, for that matter - don't go away by denying them. Solar Radiation Management by 'injection of sulfate or other materials into the stratosphere' as proposed by the working agenda of the past Asilomar Conference on Climate Intervention Technologies and as seen, photographed, filmed, documented, studied and analyzed during years by ordinary citizens, environmental activists, air traffic controllers, radar technicians, alternative journalists, meteorologists, chemists and physicians, has been occurring over North America and Europe since the nineties. The question is, if the massive blasting into the stratosphere of a mixture of metals and polymers to form a haze-like layer in the skies in order to deflect solar radiation is actually that good of an idea, given the extreme toxicity of the materials being sprayed and given the fact that they finally do come down back to the surface of the Earth. Thus, to a far-sighted, ecological, nature-preserving mind it seems utterly illogical to resort to this kind of measures which have a heavily contaminating effect on the overall environment -- air, water, soils, humans, animals, plants, that is, life on the planet as such. For the sake of (relative) brevity, we will not go into detail to describe and explain Chemtrail Spraying in this article, but instead encourage our readers to get active and do a thorough research on the Internet by themselves. Suffice it to say here, that the until now publicly denied operations of ongoing Chemtrail Spraying are, in fact, related to 'Solar Radiation Management,' consisting of the massive injection of a combination of metallic and other particles -- microscopic in scale -- into the stratosphere. Interestingly and essential for us to note, it was the late Edward Teller, member of the Manhattan Project and father of the Hydrogen Bomb, co-founder and director of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, who proposed this geo-engineering technique together with Roderick Hyde and Lowell Wood and who designed a variety of mixtures according to the specific tasks they have to perform, among which figure the deployment of "electrically-conducting sheets" or "metallic 'nets' of ultra-fine mesh-spacing" in the stratosphere. (2) Equally interesting is the fact, that Teller himself did not only doubt that society's carbon dioxide emissions were responsible for global warming, but questioned global warming as such, when stating in a 1997 article, titled 'The Planet needs a Sunscreen,' that "It's wonderful to think that the world is so very wealthy that a single nation -- America -- can consider spending $100 billion a year on a problem that may not exist." (3) He explicitly repeated this doubt in a 2002 co-authored paper on 'Active Climate Stabilization.' (4) So, by all means, why then seriously bother about the research, development and actual deployment of 'geo-engineering techniques' such as spraying the stratosphere with chemicals, in order to to 'fend off solar radiation' ?! Considering the counter-productivity of the whole concept of 'solar radiation management' -- deflecting solar radiation by creating a layer of highly toxic, artificial 'clouds' may as well block and trap outbound heat from the Earth and thus worsen 'global warming' -- the question arises, why it is actually being done. The very logics of global capitalism and capitalist globalization that dictates each and every consideration, each and every action undertaken by the transnational corporations of this world and their political and military executives on a national and international scale, and which impose their decisions on billions of people, indicates that Solar Radiation Management is NOT being conducted to 'mitigate the effects of global warming' but to address an immediate problem, as severe as that of global warming for the survival of human civilization as we have known it, and which can best be described as the Electronic Achilles Heel of Modern Civilization. In a 2009 interview with Ludwig Glinz about 'Sferic Frequencies, Semiconductor Technologies and their effective Preservation and Protection,' Uwe Behnken, founder of LiveNet Concept 2010 and long time activist against Chemtrail Spraying, suggests that the massive injection of toxic substances into the stratosphere ever since the nineties bears a direct relation to the protection of highly sensitive semiconductor technologies. "[..] Natural electromagnetic pulses are known to everybody ever since the film 'The Day After' where we learnt what happens if these are created artificially by means of the explosion of an atom bomb. If an atomic weapon explodes, the electromagnetic pulse causes semiconductor technologies to stop functioning. The same electromagnetic pulses can be registered in the event of elevated sferic frequencies or nuclear electromagnetic pulses stemming from elevated sun activities, and from our perspective this is another reason why it is undertaken to repel these sferic frequencies with the help of toxic substances, like aluminium oxides and barium-chlorides so as to protect semiconductor technologies." (5) For a better understanding of this statement and its consequences, we'll briefly examine some basic concepts related to semiconductor technology and the reasons for its growing vulnerability. All modern technology is based on semiconductor technology, used in the production of microelectronic integrated circuits (microchips) on an ever more minute scale and with an ever greater number of in-built 'components' per unit, so to speak. No applied technology in our computerized age, be it in the realm of production, energy, communication, trading, finance, transportation, scientific research and development, space exploration and military operations, works without semiconductor technology. A semiconductor is a material like silicon or germanium (6) characterized by an "intermediate conductivity" which oscillates between that of a conductor and an insulator and which displays a rapid variation of conductivity depending on temperature. The current in semiconductors is either carried by the flow of electrons or by the flow of positively-charged "holes" in the electron structure of the material. An external electrical field may change a semiconductor's resistivity or 'behavior' for that matter. (7) One of the problems related to semiconductor technology and as derived from some of its specific characteristics is, that upon exposure to various types of particles of atmospheric radiation -- alpha particles, various ions, protons, and neutrons which can 'hit' the device -- it can change state or alter its output, leading to an error. This phenomenon is widely known by the manufacturers and has been called 'Single Event Effect' (SEE), which, in turn, is classified in three basic categories: A soft error or 'single event upset' (SEU), a soft or hard error or 'single event latch-up (SEL) and a hard failure or 'single event burnout' (SEB). In the Atmospheric Radiation Effects Whitepaper, prepared by Ken Vranich in 2007, this author discusses the growing impact of atmospheric radiation effects on semiconductor devices, specifically the impact on avionics, identifying natural atmospheric radiation as the overriding cause of Single Event Effects or device failures due to the fact that semiconductor technology undergoes constant sophistication, which means it's being performed on an ever more minute scale. The scale we are talking about is so tiny that the collision of neutrons with the semiconductor material results in the deposition of a charge in this material and thus leads to an alteration of its state or even to the destruction of the device. The author explains these characteristic errors and failures of semiconductor devices as follows: "Single event upset (SEU) is a condition that causes corruption of data or logic state in a device resulting in erroneous output. This is a soft error, meaning that data could be updated or corrected or the part reset and normal functionality would be resumed. ... Single event latchup (SEL) is a condition in some [type of semiconductors] where the energy deposited locally in a device by the single particle has turned on parasitic transistors causing high current through the device. ... This SEL usually causes loss of device functionality. ... Single event burnout (SEB) is a condition in a high voltage device (voltages of 500 or 600 volts) resulting from the energy deposition by a single particle leading to a feedback mechanism that exceeds the breakdown voltage and therefore destroys the device. ... Single Event Effects can also cause secondary breakdown in bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), resulting in burnout of the transistor ... " (8) The Atmospheric Radiation Effects Whitepaper deals essentially with the uncomfortable fact that the failure rate in semiconductor devices has been increasing exponentially due to the steady advancement of semiconductor technology, making them not only vulnerable to high-energy or fast neutrons, but also to low-energy or slow (thermal) neutrons. The author estimates that it will take years until the big manufacturers of integrated circuits will respond to this challenge and warns of the unprecedented consequences that this will have, in this case for aviation electronics, concerning both commercial as well as military avionics and which may lead to the severe limitation of operations or even grounding of aircraft, due to intolerably high processor failure rates. For a combination of technical factors which the author does not specify, he identifies the military Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's), crucial in America's ongoing and future warfare operations around the planet, as the type of aircraft most vulnerable to this threat, mainly because they are composed of so called 'commercial-off-the-shelf equipment,' leading to what the author says is an "unacceptably high probability of 'loss of command and control.'" (9) As for the natural causes of atmospheric radiation and their effects on semiconductor devices, the author explains that the exposure to the range of potentially hazardous particles increases with growing latitude and altitude, especially during times of elevated sun activity. As far as the latter is concerned, the author stresses the importance of solar events which can heavily impact radiation levels and thus significantly increase Single Event Effect rates: "The sun on an eleven year cycle produces varying sizes of solar flares. These flares send out energetic particles that strike the earth and can affect the entire planet, but especially in the Polar Regions where the earth's magnetic field is weakest. These particles can cause an increase in the radiation that an aircraft sees by a factor ranging from 10-1000X. The next projected solar peak where these levels could occur is 2011." (10) In this context and with regard to the growing vulnerability of semiconductor technology, in this case in aircraft, the author explains that "using today's parts could translate into a 10-20% processor failure rate during a single flight on an aircraft in northern latitudes during a moderate solar event," thus calling into question the "ability of these products to perform as advertised." He concludes that "for avionics suppliers, this has the potential to create an intolerable liability and field support issue. For the commercial and military end users, this can translate into types of aircraft that would operate with limited mission capabilities or flight restrictions in certain geographic locations and grounding during significant solar events." (11) Considering the impact of sun activities and solar events on semiconductor technology, we can understand the growing importance of solar event 'forecasts.' In May 2009, a team of scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) sponsored by NASA, has revised the earlier peak prediction from 2007 which foresaw a peak in 2011, and estimates that Solar Cycle number 24 will peak in May 2013 with an intensity expected to be below the average. According to NASA Science News, however, "Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather. ... The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we're predicting for 2013. The 1859 storm -- known as the "Carrington Event" after astronomer Richard Carrington who witnessed the instigating solar flare -- electrified transmission cables, set fires in telegraph offices, and produced Northern Lights so bright that people could read newspapers by their red and green glow. A recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause $1 to 2 trillion in damages to society's high-tech infrastructure and require four to ten years for complete recovery." (12) This is more than a good reason for a really big headache and for mobilizing the world's best scientists in order to research and develop methods capable of shielding modern electronics from the effects of atmospheric radiation! Ken Vranich's observations and subsequent warnings regarding the decreasing reliability of semiconductor technology in the realm of avionics have been discussed earlier by experts of the US military, who fear that world-wide military operations could be dramatically endangered by an increasing dependence on ever more sophisticated electronic devices. In this sense, Major Scott W. Merkle, in a 1997 paper titled 'Non-Nuclear EMP: Automating the Military May Prove a Real Threat' and which addresses the man-made causes of Electromagnetic Pulses (EMP), first describes the catastrophic consequences that the 'classic' scenario of the detonation of a high-altitude nuclear bomb, for example above Nebraska, would have, whose electromagnetic pulse would render each and every computerized circuit in the continental United States, southern Canada and northern Mexico, useless. In describing the effects, Merkle cites a 1982 writing of no less a man than Edward Teller, regarding heavy electromagnetic pulse radiation: "Today there is almost universal dependence on electronic computers. They are used by first-graders as well as research engineers. Industry, communications, financial records, are all at stake here. In the event of heavy EMP radiation, I suspect it would be easier to enumerate the apparatus that would continue to function than the apparatus that would stop." (13) After revising the magnitude and probability of an EMP delivered by the detonation of a high-altitude nuclear bomb, which "could conceivably pulse us back to, shall we say, a simpler time when operations orders were done orally with a sandtable," Merkle proceeds to identify in general terms the threat coming from the development of advanced non-nuclear EMP weapons which, he observes, has started off a new arms race. (Although existent at the time, pulsed, directed energy beam weapons like HAARP systems are not explicitly mentioned in this paper). Considering the ever growing dependence of the United States' military on technological progress, Merkle regards the "pushing of the technology envelope" at all costs a serious problem, as "one burst of EMP" will render the most sophisticated equipment inoperable, stripping the high-tech infantry soldier of the 21st century naked and leaving him in the combat field without his "wondrous gadgets and gizmos," to just name one example. Merkle thus concludes: "Non-nuclear EMP has the potential to reduce the battlefield equation to very simple terms ... as the Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System, All-Source Analysis System, and most other "high tech" intelligence connectivity systems will not be working." (14) Finally and with regard to the same concern, an assessment of 'Electromagnetic Pulse Threats to US Expeditionary Operations in 2010,' written by US Air Force Major Colin R. Miller, comes to the conclusion that both, nuclear and non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapons "represent one of the most ominous threats to US National Security in the near term." Miller subsequently suggests three types of counter-measures: Firstly, implementing specific protection or 'system-hardening' of semiconductor devices at the manufacturer level, secondly, individual shielding of crucial, high-tech components against EMP, and thirdly, shielding larger environments against EMP: "Shielding the environment is a cost-effective solution for EMP protection when a large number of essential electronic devices are collocated. An Air Operations Center (AOC) provides a good example. Incorporating a grounded metallic shield into the building structure and surge protecting power, communications, and antenna lines could protect an entire AOC from EMP. Mobile systems require a different means, such as a Faraday cage, which can protect individual components. A Faraday cage is simply a metallic mesh built around an electronic circuit (such as a fighter aircraft flight control computer) that protects it from EMP." (15) Given the magnitude and severity of the exponentially growing threat for omnipresent, modern semiconductor technology (and thus modern civilization as we have known it) from nuclear and non-nuclear electromagnetic pulses, from both, natural and man-made sources as shown and documented in the paragraphs above, and connecting back with Uwe Behnken's statement we've mentioned at the beginning and which upholds a direct relation between the injection of toxic particles into the stratosphere and the protection of semiconductor technologies, let us put the whole concept of 'Solar Radiation Management' or 'Solar Radiance Engineering' as recently proposed by climate scientists, into a different perspective. Considering that the late Edward Teller, father of the Hydrogen Bomb and first-hand expert of the EMP effects that result upon their detonation in space, who in the late nineties and as mentioned earlier, doubted that global warming is anthropogenic (caused by humans) and who even questioned global warming as such, nevertheless suggested that the Earth needed a 'sunscreen,' purpose for which he had a specific mixture of metals and chemicals developed at National Livermore Laboratories for the massive injection into the stratosphere to 'cool' the earth with a 'sheet of superfine, reflective mesh,' the following questions / hypothesis arise for further, urgent investigation and research: 1. Is 'Solar Radiation Management' or 'Solar Radiance Engineering' -- supposedly designed to mitigate the effects of global warming -- a smokescreen for the general world public behind which another objective is being pursued, that has nothing to do with 'global warming'? 2. Has the massive blasting of metallic particles into the stratosphere been designed to create and uphold a permanent 'metallic shield' in the form of a 'superfine mesh' as suggested by Teller, to build the equivalent of a huge kind of 'Faraday Cage' over certain regions of the Earth in order to protect semiconductor technology from being rendered useless by major, natural or man-made, nuclear and/or non-nuclear, electromagnetic pulse events? 3. Is the bringing-out and upholding of this superfine mesh of metallic particles coupled with HAARP technologies, and if so, in which way? 4. Other than shielding technology, which military applications derive from a superfine mesh of metallic particles in the stratosphere, that have electrically-conductive properties? 5. Considering that until now the vast part of experimental injection of particles into the stratosphere seems to have taken place above NATO countries (16), could it be derived from this that NATO is actively-preemptively preparing for nuclear or non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse events? 6. Are we seeing version 2.0 of the Manhattan Project, this time entrusted with the mission to develop a large-scale shield to fend off the devastating effects of Electromagnetic Pulses, employing thousands of scientists, experts, technicians, military and civil personnel without them knowing what purpose they are working for, by keeping information deliberately fragmented and separate? 7. Is this the real reason why "geo-engineering experiments shouldn't require global agreement" but be imposed on behalf of 'the advanced industrialized states of the world,' as advocated by scholars of US Think Thanks that are not precisely known for their love for Mother Nature? From the countries of the Global South, from Latin America, from Venezuela, we call for a global investigation into these matters, for a global debate and for global, transparent and informed agreement with regard to alternative ways to protect technology, the environment, all forms of life on the planet and planet Earth as such! We say NO to whatever techniques that, for whatever reason, deliberately modify any of the geophysical subsystems of the Earth! We say NO to interfering with planet Earth's geophysical integrity!

A North Carolina man claims he misplaced $20,000 in drug money and asked authorities to write him an excuse note so a Tucson cartel wouldn't kill him.
The Arizona Daily Star says 30-year-old Demarco Alonzo Thomas has been arrested on suspicion of money laundering and racketeering.
According to documents from the Tucson Airport Authority Police Department, Thomas thought it might help smooth things over if he could show cartel members a phony receipt from authorities stating they had seized the money.
Police say Thomas claims he was paid $1,000 for each suitcase full of drug money he flew from North Carolina.
When arrested, police searched Thomas' suitcase and personal property. They found $17,000 in $100 bills in the pockets of packed blue jeans and another $3,000 in his wallet.

Certainly an opinion I can accept. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I don't have to. I can accept any opinion as long as it isn't backed in some concocted make believe land.
I don't actually know, I can't see where it would be a problem. Obviously, however, someone much higher in the NFL food chain thinks it doesn't matter, so we'll wait and see. -
- No actually the refs are not as in charge as you think.
Their power is based largely on the willingness of players to listen to them.
Women command less respect especially among large athletes. -
+2The players have been conditioned via 16 years of women-as-authority-figures via the educational system. Plus, I suspect that the NFL is smart enough to chose an extremely capable female in this ground-breaking situation. Guys in general respond well to a woman who can hold her own in a man's world. Plus football players are just very big little boys, and will respond fairly well to a mommy figure...
thats true. i think it will go quite well . we shall wait and see. i hope she proves art wrong.
you must have some real issues with women. are you totally against women??? what are you the type who want women barefoot and pregnant?? staying home?? this isnt the first time ive read your degrading comments about women. someone must have hurt you really bad. please dont be so down on all women we are not all bad. there may be afew rotten apples but that doesnt spoil the whole bunch.

Over the past year the Consumer Price Index has increased 1.5%, well below the Federal Reserve's target of 2%.
Excluding volatile food and energy prices, inflation gained 0.2% in March, translating into a 1.7% increase over the past year.
Food prices in March increased 0.4%, the same as in February, due to droughts in parts of the country, leading to higher prices for meal, vegetables and fruit. Fuel prices fell 1.7%, due to drops in liquid fuel prices with electricity and natural gas prices increasing.
"A relatively benign inflation report with hints of price pressure stemming from services. Last week's rise in the Producer Price Index too was led by service price increases, the most in four years," said Lindsey Piegza, chief economist with the investment firm Sterne Agee. "Of course one month's report does not make a trend and looking at the annual chart, it is clear inflation continues its downward momentum, putting pressure on the Fed to maintain its accommodative policy stance."
Meantime, a separate report shows builder confidence in the market for newly built, single-family homes rose one point to 47 in April from a downwardly revised March reading of 46, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index.
"Builder confidence has been in a holding pattern the past three months," said NAHB Chairman Kevin Kelly. "Looking ahead, as the spring home buying season gets into full swing and demand increases, builders are expecting sales prospects to improve in the months ahead."
The HMI index gauging current sales conditions in April held steady at 51 while the component gauging traffic of prospective buyers was also unchanged at 32. The component measuring expectations for future sales rose four points to 57.
"Job growth is proceeding at a solid pace, mortgage interest rates remain historically low and home prices are affordable," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "While these factors point to a gradual improvement in housing demand, headwinds that are holding up a more robust recovery include ongoing tight credit conditions for home buyers and the fact that builders in many markets are facing a limited availability of lots and labor."

We all know you're putting forth your best and will understand if you're a little MIA for a bit. It's all going to look amazing!So as some have mentioned, it is really hard to find a time when nobody will be inconvenienced... As in I think it is impossible. Besides, you really don't want a half-awake admin messing around with a huge database and making major changes. Who knows how that would end up! I will do my best to avoid upgrading during our typically busy times... You have my word. I will also do my best to minimize how long it takes by practicing the upgrade before I do it.
Quick update... I made a copy of the database this morning so that I can test the upgrade. I also (finally) got access to the new software. I will begin work today when I have a chance. Please accept my apologies if you try to contact me and it takes a while. This upgrade is going to be my free time priority so I may not be checking messages as often as usual.

Edit: Reading through the earlier posts in more detail, I just saw we could be able to change our usernames. You don't know how much this makes me happy. I'm ashamed of my current username.
I think it's great TT is getting upgraded. It's such a wonderful community forum site for Tamagotchis, and it's been running for quite some time. The new features would be great for some of us older members to see.

Fremont Mayor Bob Wasserman's re-election campaign has recruited more than 130 high school volunteers by approaching them on campus in apparent violation of state education law.
The mayor's campaign staff recruited students in classrooms at three of Fremont's five high schools, promising college recommendation letters from the mayor himself. They asked students to commit four hours a week to phonebanking, door-to-door outreach, and other work like putting up lawn signs and preparing mailers. And many students have signed up.
Offering the recommendation letters was legal, but soliciting students on school grounds for partisan purposes appears to violate section 51520 of the California Education Code.
"Looks like the mayor really made a boo-boo here," said Professor Lois Schwartz of the University of California Hastings College of the Law.
Wasserman's campaign said the mayor was too busy to comment, but spokesman Mitchell Lester said: "Obviously, we had no idea'' the on-campus recruitment broke the law, adding that the principals at the schools cleared the campaign to talk to students. But the principal at one of the schools said he did not approve the recruitment.
Even approval from school officials or the school board would not satisfy the education code, according to Schwartz.
There are no penalties spelled out in the education code for such a violation, and it's unclear if the campaign faces any potential punishment.
Councilman Steve Cho, one of Wasserman's two opponents in the election, said when he ran for city council in 2000 and 2004, he was advised that recruiting students on campus violated school policy. Because of this, Cho said, he did not recruit students on campus in this or previous elections.
The third mayoral candidate, Gus Morrison, said he has no student volunteers.
Educators, legal scholars and teachers said encouraging student involvement in politics is good, but they said it must be done in a legal and appropriate way.
"The purpose of the schools is to train up good citizens, and part of that is to encourage participatory democracy, but we also want to protect them against partisan issues by allowing them to participate in the market of ideas, where we have choice," Schwartz said.
The relevant section of the education code reads as follows: "During school hours, and within one hour before the time of opening and within one hour after the time of closing of school, pupils of the public school shall not be solicited on school premises by teachers or others to subscribe or contribute to the funds of, to become members of, or to work for, any organization not directly under the control of the school authorities."
According to interviews with students, teachers, and Wasserman's field director, Altin Dastmalchi, the campaign staff recruited students in classrooms and orientations by promising college recommendation letters from the mayor himself, in addition to service learning credit, an "internship" program for resumes, and an opportunity to learn about local elections.
"This has been a great program," said Lester, the spokesman for Wasserman. "It is designed to bring students in to learn more about public service and campaigns."
Two high schools, American and Kennedy, did not allow the campus recruitment, according to Wasserman campaign officials.
Several students said they learned about the volunteer opportunity at a booth during orientation at Irvington High School. Irvington's principal, Pete Murchison said the campaign never asked for his permission. "I would not have approved that," Murchison said.
Taking a break from phone-banking at campaign headquarters two weeks ago, Irvington High School student Fontaine Ma, 16, said the recruiter told her the internship would be good for a college recommendation and would fulfill the mandatory 40-hour service requirement that all high school students must complete. Andrea Shyu, a junior at Irvington, said the promise of a recommendation letter from the mayor attracted most of her fellow students to the campaign.
Despite not knowing who the mayor was before signing up to campaign, student Shyu said she has enjoyed learning more about the mayor and the city more broadly. Though Irvington student Shirley Fok, 16, did not find many Wasserman supporters on her first day going canvassing door-to-door, she said she liked getting to walk around the neighborhood and talk to people.

Audio sub/enclosure for RS/WRX for sale
I am going to sell my Subee sound enclosure and sub (JBL). The box goes for $225 new by itself but I will let it the whole thing go for $250 obo including the the equipment to strap or attach it in to place. At first I had it screwed in with some brackets....but then I got the idea to have it harnessed in there with removable straps so it comes out in seconds if I want it to. I will include all that hardware and show you how I mounted it if you want.
The reason I am selling it is mainly this: it doesnt fit my style. This thing is loud..I got it hooked to an MTX amp and another amp powers seperates up front and the rear doors and I can tune it and get good balance but my style of music is probably suited for a more balanced interior fuller speakers and less 'kick' from the back. It plays good at low volumes (the encl/sub) but its really for someone who wants to crank the heck out of it...I BARELY get it audible in my daily setup and only let it out to show people....if you want a ton of base for pretty cheap this is the way to go. Goto http://www.subee-sound.com/ and check out the enclosures section...its the trunk mount, right hand side model for the WRX AND RS's... I would like to sell it in the WA/ID area, but would be willing to ship it (at cost elsewhere). Let me know! Thanks Sean

Butler is a city and the county seat of Butler County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.[2] It is located 35 miles (56 km) north of Pittsburgh and part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 13,757.[3] Butler was named the 7th best small town in America by Smithsonian magazine in May 2012.[4]
Butler was named for Maj. Gen. Richard Butler,[5] who fell at the Battle of the Wabash, also known as St. Clair's Defeat, in western Ohio in 1791.
In 1803 John and Samuel Cunningham became the first settlers in the village of Butler. After settling in Butler, the two brothers laid out the community by drawing up plots of land for more incoming settlers.[5] By 1817, the community was incorporated into a borough.[5] The first settlers were of Irish or Scottish descent and were driving westward from Connecticut. In 1802 the German immigrants began arriving, with Detmar Basse settling in Jackson Township in 1802 and founding Zelienople the following year. After George Rapp arrived in 1805 and founded Harmony, larger numbers of settlers followed. John A. Roebling settled Saxonburg in 1832, by which time most of the county was filled with German settlers.
Throughout most of its history, the city of Butler has been a major manufacturing and industrial center. In 1902, the Standard Steel Car Company opened one of its largest railcar manufacturing facilities in Butler. It was here that some of the first all-steel rail cars were built. Diamond Jim Brady, the legendary financier, gourmand and gemophile, got his start here in 1902 when he established the Standard Steel Car Company, which merged with the Pullman Palace Car Company in 1934 to create Pullman-Standard, a monopoly that was eventually broken by the government. The Pullman-Standard plant closed in 1982, and was demolished in 2005. The site is now occupied by a strip mall, as well as the new Butler Transit Authority intermodal facility. In 2011 the BTA moved a covered hopper railcar to the bus terminal in recognition of the former Pullman-Standard plant. The car was built at the facility in 1974.[6]
Another notable business headquartered in the city was the American Austin Car Company (1929–41). Later the firm changed its name to American Bantam Car Company. Bantam was an early producer of small fuel-efficient vehicles through the 1930s. The modern Jeep was created by American Bantam and the first prototypes were manufactured at the Butler facility. Big military contracts eventually went to Willys and Ford, while the Bantam factory had failed by World War II. Today, a monument in the plaza across from the courthouse commemorates Bantam's creation of the Jeep.
Butler is home to one of the early Ford dealerships, established in 1918 and still extant.[7]
Also notable with headquarters in Butler and a connection to the automobile industry was Rainbow Rubber Company, which in the late 1930s made precise "Rubrtoy" replicas of Oldsmobiles along with many other rubber toys.[8]
In the 1950s, Butler became one of the first cities to install bells at crosswalks, a common practice today.
The city was linked to Pittsburgh via Mars, Pennsylvania, in 1907 by the Pittsburgh and Butler Street Railway, and to Evans City in 1908 by the Pittsburgh, Harmony, Butler and New Castle Railway, both interurban trolley lines. The Mars route closed in April 1931, followed by the Evans City line on August 15, 1931, with the trolleys replaced by buses.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.7 square miles (7.0 km2), all land.
The Connoquenessing Creek, which was ranked the second most polluted waterway in the U.S. in 2000, flows through the city.[9]

Convert MKV to HTC Tattoo - Watch MKV on HTC Tattoo
HTC Tattoo
The HTC Tattoo is compact, but still offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The Android 1.6 device is enhanced by HTC Sense. The HTC Tattoo is a fair entry-level Android device with a cool customization feature, but there are better options for the North American market.
HTC Tattoo is nice to watch HD movies
Measuring just 4.17 inches tall by 2.17 inches wide by 0.55 inch thick, the HTC Tattoo is quite a petite handset. It reminds us a bit of the HTC Touch, though slightly thicker and heavier, and we wouldn't call it the sexiest device in the world. However, what makes the Tattoo different from most phones (and also sheds light on the meaning of its name) is that you can customize the cover with your own design. You just head on over to the HTC Tattoo salon.
You should know, HTC Tattoo not for HD MKV video
MKV video, also wel-known as Matroska video takes lots of advantages on modern codec. And some users would like to rip Blu-ray movie to MKV or convert AVCHD M2TS recordings to MKV to maximally preserve video quality. Although MKV is more and more popular on computer, and even Windows 7 supports playback MKV video natively, you may find the HTC Tattoo does not recognize MKV files. This is because MKV is just a container format which can contain various codecs, only a small subset of which (e.g. H.264, Xvid) the HTC Tattoo can play.
How to Play and Watch MKV on HTC Tattoo
In fact you simply need a power Video Converter software to transcode your MKV video to HTC Tattoo recognizable video format, for instance convert MKV to AVI. WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe is just masterful at the job of converting MKV to HTC Tattoo. Free Download >>

A crossbow must have a draw weight of 119 pounds (54 kg) or more at a draw length of 12 inches (300 mm) or more. Minimum specifications also apply to broadheads and bolts used when moose hunting.

I have a national USCF (United States Cycling Federation) ranking! All you need to do to get one, actually, is to ride in a USCF race and finish it, so it's not like it's a big deal, but I was pleased to realize that someone is keeping track of my performances and that I'm not dead last in my category. Many race organizers report their results to the USCF, which then uses a complicated formula to give all finishers a certain number of points (this is based on your place in the finish, the number of riders in a race, your age group and probably other things too) and then you get ranked along with other riders in your category. So my ranking isn't based on how I compete against all other women, but against all other category 4 women (beginners).
And you'd like to know what my national ranking is? I'm 132 out of 225 in road races and 145 out of 195 in criteriums. Woo-hoo! This is based on only three races, actually; I guess they only count races where you ride with your gender and category, and most of my races last year were with men. The USCF website has my results in these three races (results which I'd pretty much forgotten about): 22nd and 33rd in the road races and 13th in the criterium.
The website gives even more information though; here are the various ways they break it down for road races (I'm giving away my age here!):
1 | Rank in your zip code |
6 | Rank in your state |
4 | Rank in your riding age (33) |
22 | Rank in 5 year age range (30-34) |
55 | Rank in 10 year age range (30-39) |
132 | Overall rank |
And here are the stats for criteriums:
1 | Rank in your zip code |
5 | Rank in your state |
4 | Rank in your riding age (33) |
25 | Rank in 5 year age range (30-34) |
58 | Rank in 10 year age range (30-39) |
145 | Overall Rank |
#1 in my zip code! — and probably the only one. What these stats conveniently leave out is how many people I'm competing against in each of these categories. Oh, this makes me laugh. So, okay — I have lots of room for improvement. But that's a good thing, because it won't be so impossibly hard to move up in the overall rankings this year. And maybe I'll manage to stay #1 in my zip code.

happy valentine's day.
Tuesday, February 14, 2012
23 comments:
Sweet idea for a low key post! Might need to hijack it for my own blog :-0 We are taking Lulu out at 5 on a family date-- a wine and cheese platter at my favorite bakery. Of course she won't have wine or cheese, so I'm not sure what's in it for her. But ya know, I'm just not into leaving the babe.
Hannah at www.thrivingthirty.tumblr.comI just have to say that I was just thinking to myself how Valentine's Day sort of feels like Thanksgiving without the pie and turkey! Your quote in closing only reinforces what I am feeling and made me feel like maybe I'm not so weird afterall. =) Ha. Well, maybe I still feel weird, but not because of this day being one where I am able to really pause and think about the people I love and why they are so near and dear to me and just how amazing this thing called love is in our world. I think that's what makes your "love story" with Steve so attractive to people out here in blogland too. It's about overcoming and transending and looking past what might be practical or responsible or considered "acceptable" and throwing that all out the window to follow your heart and what you can't deny you feel inside. I think we all get so caught up in the busyness of life and how easy it is to just be comfortable around the people we love so much that we forget how much we love them and we even take their love for granted too many times. I happen to think it's awesome that you point out things like older brothers loving their new baby brother and how no matter how much love you and Steve feel for each other you still mess that up at times. I blogged about my thoughts on true love yesterday and just how challenging and hard it has been in my own marriage and all the trials we have had dealt to us through the years. Life has tested us and shaken us more times than I care to count or remember. But I am learning that the struggles are what make us even more unique and they sort of act as drops of glue each time we go through one. Rather than tear us apart we have been lucky that they have drawn us together. I give all the credit for that to my husband and to God. And it makes me so humble and grateful for the love I have been shown. I hope Valentine's Day sort of sticks in my heart a little longer than just Feb. 14th this year. In fact, it would be nice if it hung on til Thanksgiving. Then I could find myself grateful...and then joy-filled with the holiday season too.
Whew! I didn't mean to write a whole chapter here. Your post just struck a nice chord with me and I wanted to let you know. Have a happy, happy and thankful Valentine's Day. I hope you feel loved, get the chance to share your love, and maybe even dig into one of those classics you've been trying to read your way through. =) Love and best to all the Hunts...xoxo.
