- Forgot to mention few major facts on USXP here they are:
They also won a 600 million dollar law suit against funders a year or
so ago, the money is actively trying to be collected trhough diff
avenues from the guilty parties. If and when this money gets colected
or tax exemptions apply, USXP will fly as well.
They alos recently filed a suit this month against North American
Airlines for 160 million dollars. Which is in court now, and could
lead to another 160 million dollar judgement in USXP favor. TWo
major happenings, when all is said and done, could put this stock
through the roof. Konlin stock report gave USXP their Highly thought
after Stock of 2004 Award, the stock in which they think will grow
the most in 2004 and beyond. Only one stock gets this pick a year,

13 file to fill Orem mayoral vacancy
OREM — Current and former City Council members and a former state legislator are among the 13 applicants interesting in filling the remaining two years of late-Mayor Jerry Washburn's term.
Washburn, the longest serving mayor in Orem's history, died Sept. 26 after a long battle with cancer.
Orem's mayor performs ceremonial responsibilities and is a voting member of the City Council. The mayor and council members serve part time.
The council plans to make its final decision on the replacement Oct. 24 in a closed meeting at 5 p.m., then announce its decision publicly at 6 p.m. The chosen applicant would then be sworn in as mayor at the City Council meeting Oct. 25, at 6 p.m.
The candidates are:
Norman L. Nielsen is a former member of the Utah House of Representatives and was raised in Orem. He has also been the director of the Polynesian Cultural Center, president pro-tem of the Laie, Hawaii Town Council, past president of SCERA and produced, with his wife, the Miss Utah Pageant for 20 years. He also holds bachelor's degree in economics from Brigham Young University.
"My desire is only to serve the city for the remainder of Mayor Washburn's term," he said. "As interim mayor, I would favor programs that enhance the quality of life from for Orem residents."
Karen McCandless is in her third term on the City Council. She said she has served as a council liaison to 13 city commissions. She is also a member of Intermountain Healthcare's Women's Advisory Council, the Orem Kiwanis Club board and is a volunteer substitute driver for Meals on Wheels. "This service has helped me better understand the needs of women, children and the elderly in our community. My service on (Utah Valley University's) Continuing and Community Education Advisory Board keeps me apprised and involved in the development of programs to meet our community's education needs," she said. "My service has given me an excellent understanding of how Orem city functions and what issues it currently faces."
Richard Jackson served eight years on the City Council and has served on the city's planning commission and board of appeals. He has also served on the Utah County Board of Adjustment and Orem's Community Development Block Grant Advisory Committee. He spent five years as a member of the Utah Transit Authority Board of Directors, four years as a member of the Mountainlands Association of Governments Physical Planning Committee, and was a founding member of the Provo Canyon-Utah Lake-Jordan River trail committee.
Jackson is a retired Brigham Young University geography and planning professor. "I want to do my part to ensure that Orem will continue to be a great place for both families and businesses. I am retired and in excellent health, and have just completed what I hope will be my last book, so I have the time to devote to this position."
James T. Evans is a former City Council member and currently serves on the Utah State Board of Regents. He is also a trustee for the Mountainland Applied Technology College and the Utah College of Applied Technology. He is a former member of the Alpine School District Board and Orem/Provo Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and was Mountainland Regional Director for the Utah Department of Workforce Services. He is Chief Operating Officer and senior vice president of Xactware Solutions Inc. and holds a bachelor's in communications from Brigham Young University.
He said he and his wife, Tana, have lived in Orem since 1984. "Our three children have enjoyed the benefits of many of the recreational opportunities afforded by Orem city, not to mention the premier children's library in the state," he said. "During my time on the council I had the opportunity to work under three mayors and witness their different styles in leading the City Council."

In a paneled lecture room at the University of Chicago one day last week, a pink-cheeked, wispy-haired little man mounted the raised platform, pushed his horn-rimmed glasses up on to his forehead and began to speak. He was not comfortable. "I do not feel at ease when I have to speak," said Painter Marc Chagall. "My language is the eye."
In ten days in Chicago, Marc Chagall, who ranks with Braque, Matisse and Picasso in the history of modern art, spoke (in French, through an interpreter) perhaps more about art and about himself than ever before. Invited by the Committee on Social...

U.S., Russian rift threatens space station
Dmitry Lovetsky / Associated Press
Russian space agency rescue crew members carry U.S. astronaut Rick Mastracchio shortly after a Russian Soyuz space capsule landed in Kazakhstan on Wednesday. The Soyuz space capsule with Mastracchio, Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin landed safely on the steppes of Kazakhstan.
In the aftermath of the Cold War, the two superpowers set aside their mistrust and agreed to build a massive orbiting outpost as a symbol of a new era of cooperation in space exploration. But now that partnership is under serious strain.
After Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin this week said his nation might no longer allow U.S. astronauts access to its launch vehicles and may use the International Space Station without American participation, the House Science, Space and Technology Committee on Thursday pressed NASA for answers about the how the U.S. could respond.
Since the retirement of the space shuttle, Russia has provided launches for U.S. astronauts, for $71 million each.
�Dropping out of ISS is a high-profile move on Russia�s part,� said Marco Caceres, space analyst for the aerospace research firm Teal Group Corp. of Fairfax, Va. �They�re pulling the rug out from under the Americans. It�s a move of national pride that plays well in Russia.�
Indeed, after railing against U.S. sanctions in response to Russia�s annexation of Crimea, Rogozin, chief of the Russian space and defense sectors, suggested that �the U.S.A. ... bring their astronauts to the International Space Station using a trampoline.�
Rogozin�s threat is too significant for the U.S. to ignore, said Loren Thompson, an aerospace and defense expert at the Lexington Institute, a Washington-based think tank.
�The central assumptions of the Obama administration space policy are no longer valid,� he said.
The space station is just one example of how the mess in Ukraine is undermining aerospace trade between the two leaders in space travel. Russia has threatened to suspend exports of rocket engines, which are used to help launch U.S. Air Force satellites. And it has threatened to suspend cooperation on navigational systems that depend on outposts in Russia.
The U.S. helped fund the Russian program in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union. And when the shuttle Columbia burned up on re-entry in 2003, killing seven, the Russians agreed to help ferry U.S. astronauts back and forth to space.
The $100-billion orbital outpost, often cited as the most expensive machine ever built, has a series of modules and power systems, some Russian, some American and others from a range of international partners. The U.S. hardware produces most of the station�s electricity, but the Russian propulsion system helps keep the station in orbit.
Now, that combination of hardware could cause a major headache. Under legal agreements, the U.S. has an upper hand in controlling the space station, but Rogozin said his nation could operate its modules independently of the U.S.
In a House hearing at the end of March, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said the agency�s partner is not Russia itself, but rather the Russian space agency, a distinction that many analysts dismissed.
The House science committee sent a letter to Bolden on Thursday seeking an assessment of a Russian withdrawal from the space station program after 2020. While the partnership is not yet broken, the committee wants to know what options the U.S. has if Rogozin�s threats become reality.
The issue involves broad engineering and legal issues that may be new: Could the space station be separated into two parts? Who owns key systems? What would happen to life science research and how would such a breakdown in cooperation affect political support for human space flight?
When the U.S. and Russia agreed to build the station in 1993, neither country had the political will to build such an ambitious project by itself. For years the space station has been considered a symbol of how cooperation among nations may yield bigger results than any single effort.
But that was then.
�This is a step back toward the Cold War days,� Caceres said of the current climate. �It�s the beginning of a freeze on a great relationship that�s been forged over the last two decades.�
NASA ultimately wants private companies to take astronauts to the station by 2017, but that hardware is still in development.
Officials with NASA said they did not yet have a response to the committee�s letter but issued a statement, which said in part:
�NASA has not received any official notification from the government of Russia on any cessation or changes in our space cooperation at this point. Operations on the ISS continue on a normal basis with the safe return of the Expedition 39 crew May 13 and the expected launch of another crew in two weeks.�
Separately, Rogozin has said Russia intends to stop supplying the U.S. with rocket engines that are used in launching military satellites into orbit.
United Launch Alliance, a joint rocket venture of aerospace giants Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp., uses a Russian-made engine on its Atlas V rocket.
The RD-180 engine provides the main thrust for the rocket, which launches the government�s pricey, school-bus-sized national security satellites for spying, weather forecasting, communications and other, experimental purposes.
In the wake of Russia�s seizure of Crimea, the Pentagon asked the Air Force to review United Launch Alliance�s use of the engine.
United Launch Alliance said it was not aware of any restrictions. But even if an embargo on selling the engines takes effect, the company says it has stockpiled a two-year supply. It also has another family of rockets, called Delta IV, which uses all U.S.-made rocket engines.
�We are hopeful that our two nations will engage in productive conversations over the coming months that will resolve the matter quickly,� Jessica Rye, a company spokeswoman, said.

Binomial name | |
Indosuchus raptorius Huene & Matley, 1933 |
Indosuchus is a genus of abelisaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period (70 to 66 million years ago – the Maastrichtian), a theropod related to Abelisaurus. Like most theropods, Indosuchus was a bipedal carnivore. It was possibly six meters (twenty feet) long, and had a crested skull, flattened on the top.
It was named by Friedrich von Huene in 1932[1] and it was described by Huene and Charles Alfred Matley in 1933 from three partial skulls found by Matley in India near Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh in strata of the Lameta Formation.[2] The lectotype is GSI K27/685.[3]
The generic name is derived from Indos, Ancient Greek for the Indus and Soukhos, Ancient Greek for the Egyptian crocodile god. The specific name raptorius means "raptorial" in Latin.
Because only some skull elements have been found, Indosuchus placement has been somewhat erratic. Although it's now somewhat firmly placed within the Abelisauridae, it was originally assigned by von Huene to the Allosauridae. Alick Walker thought in 1964 it was a member of the Tyrannosauridae. The discovery of other abelisaurids like Carnotaurus has helped clarify its position; in 1986 José Bonaparte concluded it was an abelisaurid.
As the remains are fragmentary it is difficult to assess whether Indosuchus is identical to other poorly known theropods from the Lameta Formation, such as Indosaurus. It is therefore today often considered a nomen dubium.

AMERICA/VENEZUELA - The Church: "Vote the people closest to the problems of the population"
Caracas (Agenzia Fides) - The upcoming elections are "really important because we are going to elect the people who are closest to the problems of the population and have in their hands the solution to these problems." This is why "there has to be an attitude of serenity in all environments and one must actively participate. With God's help, we hope everything goes well in this event and so the country will be able to take the path of stability." Is what His Eminence Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino, Archbishop of Caracas said on the eve of the vote in the provinces, a delicate step for the Venezuelan society. As reported to Fides the Cardinal - who also asked to pray for the health of the President of the Republic, Hugo Chávez - said: "There needs to be an active and strong presence at the polling stations in each state. We are going to vote and to participate as a demonstration of one's commitment for the good of the country."
On Sunday, the Bishops sent a statement to all parishes in the country, saying: "We ask everyone to actively participate, we asked the National Electoral Council (CNE) to fulfill its duty to monitor, so that there is no opportunism, and everything is done according to the law. We also reminded the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (fanb) to guarantee public order and fairness in the elections."
The request of the Church is right, as confirmed by the Archbishop of Caracas, due to the low participation of the last regional elections. Venezuela will elect tomorrow, December 16, 23 governors, 237 legislative council members and eight indigenous representatives. (CE) (Agenzia Fides 15/12/2012)

The first big pile of refuse. Is it possible to play this game properly with keyboard? The jump seems impossible! Am I pressing the wrong buttons? I jump against the wall and then jump towards the right, but always land on the pile of refuse.
EDIT: I have just discovered the run button. Can't believe I made it past the forest world without using the run button. This makes things easier.
can't get past the first level of hospital

I just bought the PC version, too. I tried using mouse/keyboard controls, and was having a REALLY hard time. I then switched to my 360 controller and the difference was like night and day. I would advise trying the controller out if you can.

The goal of this project was to expand opportunities for integrated recreational, social and cultural activities in Maine for people with disabilities. The project staff used a multi-faceted approach to raise awareness and inform recreation program owners and managers to improve access and accommodation and to provide communication tools to inform consumers of accessible recreational opportunities. Staff worked to make contacts with existing activities in the state and to link and collaborate with the programs that could offer support and sustainability. Activities proposed included:
1. Establishing a resource network of recreation facilities, school, and community/municipal program administrators and consumers with disabilities who utilize facilities/programs to identify ways to expand access and utilization.
2. Developing and disseminating a web-based Universal Access and Technical Assistance Tool Kit for recreational facilities to improve access.
3. Working with Portland Connections to learn about the model and facilitate the replication of it in three communities in the state.
4. Assembling the information for marketing and distribution in coordination with a consumer-friendly website that lists accessible recreational, social and cultural facilities and activities along with resource links for facilities.

YMMV: The Bad Seed
- Adaptation Displacement: More people know the movie than the play or the book.
- Alternative Character Interpretation: The film pushes the question whether Rhoda's sociopathy is influenced by her serial killer grandmother's genes or from being spoiled rotten all her life, though more likely it's a combination of both; her genes may have not affected her so much had she not been spoiled and led to believe she should have anything that she wants. Christine, after all, has those same genetics and turned out fine, relatively.
- Has Rhoda really been spoiled, at least by her parents? Christine tried to make Rhoda accept the loss of the medal graciously and seems concerned that Monica keeps showering Rhoda with gifts.
- Nightmare Fuel
- She's Just Hiding: We never do see Rhoda's body after the lightning strikes the pier, though that could be because of censorship at the time or the fact that that bolt of lightning incinerated her body to ash.
- The Woobie: Christine, and especially Mrs. Daigle, who only has vague suspicions about what really happened to her son that no one takes seriously.

The white cloth
I know that some of you are looking at that photo and saying, "Why is jo(e) posting a photo of a cat on a Wednesday? Doesn't she know that Friday is cat blogging day?"
Of course, others of you are shocked to see a cat on the kitchen counter. You are thinking – how unsanitary, I am never eating at jo(e)'s house. But let me reassure you. Come to my house and there's a good chance that you will be eating delivery pizza out of a cardboard box. The habits of my cats will not be a factor.
And to get back to that original question, this isn't a photo of a cat. Look closer. It's a photo of a white cloth.
The white cloth is the answer to a question that several readers asked me a few posts ago. I had casually mentioned that I don't buy paper towels, that I don't like using disposable products, and other parents emailed me to ask, "What do you use to mop up spills? With all those kids, you must use something! Don't your kids spill stuff?"
In fact, spills happen all the time in our house. I think teenagers are worse than toddlers when it comes to spills. First of all, no self-respecting teenager will use one of those little tiny sippy cups. No. A teenager will pour a huge quantity of weird red juice, like maybe a gallon or so, into a tall glass (or a vase if every glass is dirty) and then leave the glass on the floor near the feet of some other teenager who is practicing a Jimi Hendrix move with an electric guitar. In our house, someone it always eating or drinking something, and when you combine scattered half-filled cups and bowls with bizarre ideas like, "Let's throw lit matches on the floor and see if we can blow them out before we burn holes in the carpet," well, spills happen.
When inevitably, the mug of hot cocoa gets knocked over by a kid standing on a chair to tack blankets over the window for an extra-dark game of Monster, someone yells, "Get some white cloths!" And one of the kids (usually an extra, not one of my own kids) will grab a handful of white cloths from under the sink, toss them on the spill, and jump up and down on them until all the liquid is absorbed. The white cloths then get thrown into a big plastic bucket that looks suspiciously like a diaper pail. When the pail is full, one of us (okay, usually my husband) dumps them in the washer with some detergent and bleach and washes a load of white cloths in exactly the same way you would wash a load of diapers.
Diapers are, of course, the origin of the white cloth habit. For about twelve years, our household had at least one kid in diapers so we always had plenty of diapers on hand. And a thick cotton diaper is maybe a thousand times more absorbent than a paper towel. Who would use a paper towel when you could use a diaper instead? And besides, as I've mentioned before, I don't like to buy disposable products.
When the kids were little, we washed diapers every other day, but then even after the last kid stopped wearing diapers, I saw no reason to get rid of the diaper pail. We went on using the diapers in all the ways you would use any kind of rag – to clean a sink, to mop up a spill, to wipe snot from the face of a toddler, to tuck into a kid's shirt as a bib, to toss on the floor when dripping wet teenagers come in from playing Ultimate Frisbee. When some of the diapers wore out completely, I replaced them with generic white cotton cloths sold at a wholesale club. We stopped calling them diapers, because white cloth just sounds so much classier.
When we go on car trips, we grab a stack to toss in the car with us so that everyone can put one on their lap when they are eating sandwiches that drip with salad dressing. When I carve a watermelon, I toss white cloths underneath the cutting board to absorb all the juice that runs off. When a kid comes in with an injury, I put ice cubes in a white cloth. When we bring in our icy snowboards and prop them in the hallway, we put white cloths underneath to absorb the melted snow. When I accidentally give a plant too much water, and water comes pouring out of the bottom of the pot, dripping down onto the carpet, I grab some white cloths. When the kid who is standing on the table to duct tape toys to the ceiling fan knocks a bowl of soup to the floor, I grab some white cloths.
I don't know how any household manages without them.

Our cat sits on the counters too. All our friends except one have gotten used to it and moved on, figuring that they haven't died from eating at our house yet.
And what a brilliant idea that is so simple! I am going to implement a similar idea at our house. I always avoid the kitchen towels for messy spills because the towels ended up ruined, but never thought about bleaching white ones (laundry is not my strong point). Thank you!!! - 6:24 PM
- Saoirse said...
What a cute cat. :)
The white cloths are a great idea. - 6:29 PM
- Heather said...
We're sans kids so we've never had the diapers to recycle. But what we do have are lots of clapped out t-shirts. I cut them up and store them under the counter in a wire basket. They get used much the same way as your white cloths. And since the source t-shirts tend to be dark green or black, we don't bother with the bleach. It's cheap and it's easy.
In our house the diapers are still in use, so I cut up an old beach towel into wash cloth sized pieces. It saves us a bunch of money.
I don't buy disposable stuff either. Although we don't have teenagers to spill things. Although (although) there is almost always a cat on the bench....
- listmaker said...
Love the cat!
I used to use rags, but gave up because they weren't getting washed frequently enough. I went back to paper towels, trying not to feel too guilty becasue I composted them. When we moved I found a stack of diapers in the back of the linen closet. I think they just might make an appearance as "white cloths" and see if we can wean ourselves from the paper towels (or at least cut down). - 7:59 PM
- Ianqui said...
Is no one going to point out that the cat is sitting in a colander? I mean seriously, people, that's the best thing about that picture!
I love the cat, the colander, the fact that the cat's color matches the counter's and all the other things are white... etc...
We have green cloths here, but we still use disposables. I think I will slowly start phasing out those, though... :) - 9:03 PM
- Liesl said...
Wow, this could be a story from our house, if only the cat in the colander was swapped out for a ferret in a large flower pot. We use those thick cloth diapers for every imaginable spill. We line the ferrets' cage and carriers with them, and we use them to dry off the dog after baths. And of course we still use them as diapers.
I do have paper towels because we have a few guests who are icked out by wiping up spills with diapers, but we use maybe one roll a year.
Maybe if I started calling the diapers "white cloths" I could dispense with the paper towels completely. Hhhhmmmm..... - 10:25 PM

I remember the white cloths from when I came to visit. Not having the category "white cloth" in my mind, I think that I thought of them as washcloths. And, yes, the cat in the colander is beyond adorable.
- Rev Dr Mom said...
jo(e), you are brilliant on so many levels!
- joy said...
Only Jo(e) can take a white cloth and turn it into a post that is relevant, smart and interesting.
- jar said...
I also use white cloths. With 5 pets I would run through paper towels way too fast. Plus they last forever or seem to. My kids have yet to duct tape things to the ceiling fan though. That would be cool.
- Lauren said...
We also have such cloths, big ones that we throw over the whole spill.
So your cat was hoping for a good rinsing, correct? - 6:13 AM
OK come on now...all us cat owners out there know that it really is all about the cat.
Nice cloth though!
- landismom said...
I love that you could have just answered those comments (mine was one) by saying "we use white cloths," but instead we got this funny, informative post. Thanks!
- Dr.K said...
Hey, I thought you never put faces on your blog! And do you still actually use your bread machine? Or is it taking up space on the counter like ours did for several years until we finally got rid of it?
- Rana said...
Okay... so now two cats have showed up in a row. How many more?
The white cloths are a great idea. They're like hankies for the house. (Speaking of hankies... does anyone have any good ideas for ultrasoft cheap fabric that would work well as nose tissue? My allergies have me going through the boxes at a disturbing rate -- but my bandanas are too chafing.) - 9:32 AM
- jo(e) said...
Rana: Well, we've got seven cats so it's hard to take any kind of indoor photo without a cat sneaking into the photo.
In my house, old cloth diapers or white washcloths are used as snot rags. (Yes, that is what we call them.) They then get tossed into the bucket with the white cloths. Cotton that has been washed a bunch of times is very soft. I do buy tissues for guests ....
Dr.K: Shaggy Hair Boy is in charge of the bread machine. He goes through spurts of making bread, but then sometimes it just sits on the counter for months. I've never actually used it myself. I ove the way the whole house smells when bread is baking though. - 10:01 AM
I love this post...not only for the usefulness of the white cloth, but for all the glimpses into the workings of your household. It is always bursting with robust teenage life, isn't it! Sounds like a lot of fun!
- Yankee, Transferred said...
we buy huge stashes of rags and washcloths for all the same reasons. Plus, cloth FEELS so much better than paper!
- jo(e) said...
Rana: Oh, I should also have mentioned that you can buy cotton handkerchiefs in the men's department of any department store. That is what my parents use -- they last forever and get softer every time they are washed. What would be cheaper, though, would be to buy old bedsheets at a thrift store and cut them up.
- Mona Buonanotte said...
The second thought I had after reading your post was, "I need some white cloths!"
The first thought I had was, "Lucky cat...gettin' all snuggly in a strainer...." - 11:24 AM
- cheesehead said...
White cloths rock!
I run a load of them in hot water and bleach twice a week. - 11:54 AM
- Mieke said...
We are a washcloth family also. Have been for years. Just makes so much more sense.
oh my gosh, i totally thought growing up that my family was the *only* one who did that! we have tons of white cloths, they were at first diapers too. thanks for this story!!
- Sue said...
You mean some people don't have cats on their counters? Perhaps this explains why our friends don't stop by so often...
Love this post. - 3:32 PM
You've talked me into it. As soon as the current giant C0stC0 pack of paper towels is gone, I'm gonna buy a big buncha white cloths to add to our small buncha diapers.
- Lisa C. said...
I am also a white cloth devotee. :) My usage of white cloths also came from doing diaper laundry. Once I switched from disposables to cloth, I looked for other ways to reduce my dependence on throwaway items. My white cloths are terry cloth automotive towels, though, not actual diapers. I love them, they are so useful and very easy to keep clean. I haven't bought a paper towel in a long, long time.
- Dr. Crazy said...
The white cloth idea is a good one, but what I've really got to comment on is the kitty! My favorite thing is the expression on his face - it's like he's saying, "Look, I'm so LITTLE! I can fit in this tiny little colander!"
- BeachMama said...
We have those same white cloths :). Although I do have to report that Hubby is a lover of paper towels, comes from his childhood. They are on the counter, but I rarely use them. I love the white cloths. They are cheap, like 8 for $4 or something.
Very cute cat too! - 7:53 PM
This is not a proper photo for the blog. I can't believe you showed the cat's face!
- jo(e) said...
Linda: It's true. I don't protect my cats from stalkers.
The cats don't get pseudonyms either. This one's name is Rachel.
I figure the names we call cats aren't real anyhow; I mean, I don't know what the cat's real name is since I don't speak cat. - 10:32 PM
rachel is quite a cat! we have more of a cat on table problem. nobody really notices the counters, do they?
- Mary Stebbins Taitt said...
I have ONE white cloth a dear friend gave me (we won't mention that her name starts with j). AND a whole bunch of old used towels I now use for white cloth duty. But the others in the household don't get it. Graham is forever using a paper towel to heat a bagel in the microwave and then THROWING IT AWAY! BLASPHEMY! (I usually drag it back out and use it for something). My kids aren't as well-trained as yours.
Sweet kitty. Keep those stalkers away! LOL! - 12:01 PM
- jo(e) said...
Mary: Hey, one of the first times we ever read together, you read a poem about paper towels. Remember? It was dedicated to Chuck, I think. The whole poem was about trees and leaves unfolding, and ended with, "Think of this the next time you grab a paper towel to dry your hands and toss it in the trash can."
I haven't bought paper towels since.
My kids aren't really well-trained; they just don't have the option of using disposable towels because there aren't any in the house. - 12:12 PM

What people will believe these days… There is no risk-free level of exposure to second-hand smoke — and the only way to protect nonsmokers is to ban smoking completely in office buildings and public places, concludes a report by the U.S. Surgeon-General released Tuesday. No risk-free level? Can one really be expected to credit this statement as an incontestable fact? If there is no risk-free level of exposure to second-hand smoke, there ought to be no risk-free level of exposure to second-hand car exhaust, factory pollution, agricultural pesticides, flouridated water, carbohydrates, guns, clowns, etc. When governments engage in this sort of hyperbole it is when its authority over those commodities and exchanges can be safely expanded with minimal risk to its own revenues. The only people who flout their belief in this sort of hogwash are the activists who share a vicarious interest with the government in confining individual behaviour to circumscribed bounds. Where governments do it for the sake of exercising authority, activists do it for the sake of claiming moral authority, by legal default if necessary. But both are utterly self-serving in all their pronouncements. But wait… according to StatsCan, Canadians are smoking less already but are getting fatter. One cannot expect, however, any compensatory balancing of the government's claims upon the incidents of individuals' health. As proprietor, the government will simply add to the benefits it can claim from its human resources. "There is no risk-free level of exposure to second-hand carbohydrates," anyone? |

In Toronto there are anti-smoking ad$$$ on the sides of many streetcars. (They are occasionally visible behind foreign flags being waved from car windows by horn-honking soccer cretins driving around in circles for want of a less third-world-style pastime.)
The ad$$$ read something to the effect of, "If these two people each smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, one of them will die from it." with two arrows coming from the ad, each pointing at a window seat.
Presumably then smokers have a 50% chance of living forever, just like non-smokers do. Or at least, like the non-smokers do who are fortunate enough to avoid second hand smoke all their lives. - June 28, 2006 6:42 PM

New initiative at Contemporary Jewish Museum aims to reach out to young Jewish adults who are unaffiliated with a synagogue jn1.tv Published: 08.18.13, 07:21 / Israel Jewish Scene Tweet
Non-profit organization Reboot offered a more personal option recently – an Ask a Rabbi Booth at San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum.
Video courtesy of jn1.tv
Rabbi Peretz Wolf-Prusan is taking the first turn in the hot seat at the Ask A Rabbi Booth. The question comes from a magic eight ball, but his answer comes from the heart.
Most of the questions are liturgical rather than personal.
Rabbi Carla Fenves is used to fielding one particular personal question about herself – being a female rabbi.
"The short answer is that there haven't really been female rabbis ordained. It's a kind of verb we use when someone is made a rabbi. The first female rabbi was in the 1970s," she says.
The Ask A Rabbi Booth is an effort to reach out to young adults who are unaffiliated with a synagogue or a temple. My own question for Rabbi Mark Bloom was about the value of a gimmick like this booth.
"I think it's absolutely true people look to their computers," he says. "I mean, they can. Rabbi Google has far more answers than I can provide factually. A lot of people are still too lazy to look them up there. But I think also it's just a hunger for a human contact and a human face."
Nearly half a million Jews live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and less than a third of them are affiliated with a synagogue.
But for Bay Area Jews who don't have ready access to a rabbi, and who are interested in the personal touch rather than an electronic experience, the Ask A Rabbi Booth may provide a very good answer.

I always thought these guys were the worst band on the Kungfu records compliations.
quadraspazz (January 24, 2011)
Seen them live a few times and they always seem pretty on the ball. Sound wise they are very tight. A bit poppy for me but sometimes its kinda what you need in a band/album.
mcflynnthm (john) (January 24, 2011)
Looking forward to this. I thought The Lost Broken Bones was a great record.
kako_nd (January 24, 2011)
Probably the most underrated band on earth, specially after they release the 'Redemption' album. By far, the best punk rock album of the decade.
allbutone (January 24, 2011)
That song they had on the Rock Against Bush comp was fucking awesome. Everything else by them that I have heard has been pretty average.
burntorangepeel (January 25, 2011)
I saw them open for Defiance Ohio last year in a very small venue (Little Hamilton Collective in Nashville). Seemed out of place, but they were great and gave it their all. |

07-30-12 | Toadsith (48) | Yes | Good strong opinions and plenty of discussion about site styles and content. A few more technical factoids would be nice as a barometer for how often the site is updating (as more reviews are posted) and what the technical quality of the content is. Looking forward to more reviews! |

08-01-12 | Jaimes (3) | Toadsith, absolutely right. At this time: updating about once a month. Technical quality,uneven:some sets are crisp and clear, some, obviously shot by a different photographer, are often so blurry that the screen caps are clearer!Video is marred by incredibly bad, overly frenzied camera work. Especially bad whenever someone strips-which should be the sexiest part of porn but is ruined with bungled close-ups and blurriness.Hope that helps :) |

verb: to make someone sitting in the back seat uncomfortably cold, by rolling down the front windows of the car. The perpetrator is usually a drunk fat-ass, and an inconsiderate boor, who is not interested in the comfort of fellow passengers. They can be easily identified by their robust neck meat. While the fatnecker is only interested in his own comfort, the person being fatnecked is usually too shy to ask the fatnecker to roll up his window, because the fatnecker is usually an older, burly, high school senior, and the victim, a skinny, waifish, freshman, who will have to earn the respect of his peers before dictating the climate of the vehicle..
"Man, that asshole fatnecked me all the way to Memphis last night. While he was in the front seat, sweating, and being loud and drunk, I was in the back seat, shivering, and too timid to ask him if he could roll up his window."

if you have a fat neck, it means you are proud, showing off, or bragging non-verbally. This term was coined when a friend of ours would get arrogant in a debate and tuck his chin in thus fattening his neck.
How fat is your neck over the new job?
Do you need the doors widened to fit your fat neck through?
Is that new dress you bought a total neckk thickener?
My neck is so fat over kissing Vince Neil.

The Millions poll on top 20 fiction books of the millenium
September 21, 2009 | 9:46 am
By Paul Biba
I wonder how many of these books are available as ebooks. Maybe our readers can check it out. So far they have released numbers 18 – 20. They are:
20 Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
19 American Genius, a Comedy, by Lynne Tillman
18 Stranger Things Happen, by Kelly Link
Here's what they say about the list:
… To that end, we've conducted a poll of our regular contributors and 48 of our favorite writers, editors, and critics (listed below), asking a single question: "What are the best books of fiction of the millennium, so far?" The results were robust, diverse, and surprising.
We've finished tabulating them, and this week, we'll be counting down the Top 20 vote-getters, at a rate of five per day. Each book will be introduced by one of the panelists who voted for it. On Friday, we'll reveal Number One, along with the results of a parallel reader poll conducted via our Facebook group. And next week, we'll run follow-up posts including Honorable Mention and "Best of the Rest" lists.
This page, updated as we post the list, will become an index. You can use it to navigate the series, or can check back at our home page; we also invite you to consider subscribing to The Millions via RSS feed or Kindle.
This is the page they are referring to.
Update: All three are available in Kindle editions. Stranger Things Happen is available from Fictionwise in a non-DRM version and Gilead from Fictionwise in a DRMed version. Fictionwise doesn't have American Genius.
Stranger Things Happen is free in various formats, but some links don't seem to be working –

Vault Blogs / 11 Best Books of the Year on Wall Street Greed and Hubris
by Derek Loosvelt | December 02, 2010
In addition to being extremely informative on the topic of how the largest banks in the U.S. nearly killed the country's economy, the following titles also do a good job of taking you inside the halls, cubicles, meeting rooms and corner offices of the likes of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, the fomer Bear Stearns, the former Merrill Lynch, the former Lehman Brothers and other firms, giving you an accurate look at what life is like as a bigwig (or smallwig) on Wall Street. Of course, they're also quite entertaining. Happy reading.
11. The Devil's Casino: Friendship, Betrayal, and the High Stakes Games Played Inside Lehman Brothers, by Vicky WardWard kicks off with an epigraph from Milton's Paradise Lost and proclaims in the prologue, "No, this is not yet one more book about the crash of 2008. Rather it is a parable about the foibles of men, the corrosive influence of money, and the dangers of hubris."
10. On the Brink: Inside the Race to Stop the Collapse of the Global Financial System, by Henry M. Paulson, Jr.In addition to patting himself and his fellow federal regulators on the back ("By early 2009, it was clear that our actions had prevented a meltdown."), the former Secretary of the Treasury and former Goldman Sachs CEO rolls out all the pertinent details he can remember from late '08, such as the following reply from TIAA-CREF Chairman and CEO Herb Allison to Paulson's plea for help with Fannie Mae: "[Herb] was vacationing in the Caribbean, and when I reached him later and twisted his arm to come to Washington the next day, he'd initially protested: 'Hank, I'm in my flip-flops. I don't even have a suit down here.'"
9. Chasing Goldman Sachs: How the Masters of the Universe Melted Wall Street Down . . . And Why They'll Take Us to the Brink Again, by Suzanne McGeeIn Chasing's foreword, McGee, an ex-Wall Street Journal reporter, writes, "For more a decade, Goldman played the game better than anyone else on Wall Street. It earned returns on equity that were the envy of all its peers; its bankers were considered the crème de la crème and increasingly earned bonus packages reflecting that status. Top bankers at Merrill Lynch & Co., for instance, knew to steer clear of their temperamental CEO Stan O'Neal on the days that Goldman releases its earnings. 'Why can't we earn numbers like that?' he demanded of one subordinate on one occasion in mid-2005."
8. Street Fighter: The Last 72 Hours of Bear Stearns, the Toughest Firm on Wall Street, by Kate KellyA Wall Street Journal reporter, Kelly expands upon a series of articles she wrote for the Journal about the fall of a "dysfunctional family, driven by greed and a complex code of internal politics," with "one of the heaviest debt loads of any firm on the Street."
7. The Rise and Fall of Bear Stearns, by Alan C. "Ace" GreenbergAce, not known for his humility, writes early on, "Sixty-one years ago I moved to New York and found work as a clerk at Bear Stearns, an investment firm that had 125 employees. Before I turned forty, I was running the place." Decades later, after receiving JPMorgan Chase's $2 a share bid for the "place," Ace writes that this conversation went down with then-Bear CEO Jimmy "Midnight Toker" Cayne: "'I am not taking $2,' Jimmy said. 'Jimmy, if we don't take $2 we'll get zero,' I told him. 'If they're only offering fifty cents we should take it because it means we're still alive. When you're dead nothing can happen to you except you'll go to heaven or hell, maybe. You want us to declare bankruptcy this evening?'"
6. Union Atlantic: A Novel, by Adam HaslettHaslett, the author of the excellent 2002 book of stories You Are Not a Stranger Here, puts Doug Fanning, a Massachusets-born military man turned ambitious banker, at the center of this novel about corruption and greed, a troubled bank and the Fed. Haslett writes, "At Doug's level of bank management, most people relied on underlings to handle recruiting, but that had never been his practice. He insisted on choosing his own people, right down to the traders. McTeague had been one of his. They'd met a few years ago on a flight to London. A Holy Cross grad, McTeague had grown up in Worcester and learned the business with a specialist on the floor of the NYSE."
5. Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America, by Matt TaibbiTaibbi, a writer with the ability, at times, to hit Hunter S. Thompson-like notes (he's the dude who famously likened Goldman Sachs to a "vampire squid"), writes in Griftopia's second chapter (entitled "The Biggest A**hole in the Universe") that "former Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan is that one-in-a-billion a**hole who made America the dissembling mess that it is today. If his achievement were reversed, if this gnomish bug-eyed party crasher had managed to convert his weird social hang-ups into positive accomplishments, then today we'd be calling his career one of the greatest political fairy tales ever witnessed, an unlikeliest of ugly ducklings who through sheer pluck, cunning, and determination made it to the top and changed the world forever. But that isn't what happened."
4. Crash of the Titans: Greed, Hubris, the Fall of Merrill Lynch, and the Near-Collapse of Bank of America, by Greg FarrellA Financial Times correspondent, Farrell tees off Titans with this well-played paragraph: "Stan O'Neal, chief executive officer of Merrill Lynch, a Wall Street firm on the verge of disaster, had only himself to blame. He calculated the damage that had been wrought. He reviewed the mistakes he had committed, the strategic blunders, the errors in judgment, and disregard for risk, all of which was exacerbated by faulty execution. Of course, it wasn't entirely his fault, since he relied on the advice of the one person who should have known better -- his caddy."
3. All the Devils Are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis, by Bethany McLean and Joe NoceraMcLean and Nocera take their title from Shakespeare's Tempest and their devils from the top ranks of investment banks, including Goldman Sachs and the former Merrill Lynch. They write, "To most Americans, pre-crisis, the Merrill Lynch name was far more storied than Goldman's. Certainly, it was far better known. Merrill was the 'Thundering Herd' that was 'Bullish on America.' It had offices in every nook and cranny in America, where brokers stood at the ready to sell middle-class Americans the stocks and bonds they needed to put their kids through college and build their retirement nest eggs. To most people, what Goldman did was a complete mystery. What Merrill did was something everyone could see and understand."
2. The End of Wall Street, by Roger LowensteinThe straightforward, sober, thorough, thoughtful, extremely knowledgeable, longtime Wall Street Journal contributor Lowenstein (who also authored the excellent When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management) writes in The End, "The government's backstopping of Fannie and Freddie, along with the federal agenda of promoting homeownership, was yet another cause of the bust. Yet for all of Washington's miscues, the direct agents of the bubble were private ones. It was the market that financed unsound mortgages and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) that spread their contagion globally; the Fed permitted, but the market acted. The banks that failed were private; the investors who financed them were doing the glorious work of Adam Smith."
1. The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine, by Michael LewisUnbeatable when documenting the greed and hubris of Wall Street, Lewis (a bond trader turned author) writes, "The Venetian hotel—Palazzo Ducale on the outside, Divine Comedy on the inside—was overrun by thousands of white men in business casual now earning their living, one way or another, off subprime mortgages. Like all of Las Vegas, the Venetian was a jangle of seemingly random effects designed to heighten and exploit irrationality: the days that felt like nights and the nights that felt like days, the penny slots and the cash machines that spat out $100 bills, the grand hotel rooms that cost so little and made you feel so big. The point of all of it was to alter your perception of your chances and your money, and all of it depressed Steve Eisman, the CEO of FrontPoint Partners, a hedge fund that detected the subprime mess before nearly everyone else. He didn't even like to gamble."

Pervasive Fraud: A Quarter of Afghan Votes to Be Thrown Out
As Investigation Continues, Questions Grow About Independent Election Commission
The latest reports regarding the investigations into allegations of fraud in last month's Afghanistan parliamentary election continue to turn up evidence beyond all reason, with the latest evidence showing conclusively that fraud was pervasive across the nation in the vote.
Which is sort of old news, but the definition of "pervasive" continues to expand, and now officials familiar with the investigation say that roughly a quarter of the votes cast, or roughly one million votes, will be thrown out on the basis of fraud.
The Afghan Presidential election last year saw heretofore unprecedent levels of fraud in an ostensibly free election, and officials had expressed concern that very little had changed with regard to the oversight in the election. In the end this concern was vindicated, as both violence and complaints of overt fraud far exceeded even last year's vote.
Some arrests have been reported and the release of preliminary results continues to be delayed, but some officials are expressing concern that even as the evidence goes public the Independent Election Commission (IEC) is coming under more and more pressure to commit fraud of its own, altering the vote count in favor of some well connected candidates.
This may, however, be a very secondary concern. The fact of the matter is that nearly a quarter of polls didn't even open on the day of the election, and that a quarter of the votes are being thrown out because of fraud, while violence, ballot stuffing and intimidation were reported nationwide. It seems impossible that anything resembling a truthful result can emerge from this fiasco, even assuming (however unlikely) that the election commissions are honest.

Paradox of choice in a mandatory pension savings system : challenges for Australian retirement income policy
Gallery, Gerry T. & Gallery, Natalie (2005) Paradox of choice in a mandatory pension savings system : challenges for Australian retirement income policy. Policy and Politics, 33(3), pp. 519-532.
As the Australian pension system has become increasingly privatized and less regulated, decisions about the quantum and nature of pension investments have progressively shifted to pension fund members. This choice environment provides members with the ability to control their own pensions, but it also creates challenges for ensuring pension assets are managed in way that will maximize returns and, ultimately, retirement benefits. Government initiatives to address these challenges have principally focussed on disclosure and education and not on the more pervasive behavioural constraints that limit the effectiveness of the existing policy. We advocate policy solutions consistent with libertarian paternalism where the government provides a competitive choice environment, but actively intervenes to set suitable pension savings and investment defaults.
