of radio waves is up and down in probably one one-hundred billionth of a second. It just goes bang and it's gone, and that's what we're looking for. There is a beautiful saying by an American, a philosopher, Alan Watts, and he used to say that through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself, and through our ears, the universe is listening to its cosmic harmonies, and we are the witness through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence. thedral. | SP | SP TV | 75,862 |
I am lucky that John is on the staff at Manchester. I discovered his poetry this way. He has a lovely lyrical voice with sharp edges. The wind sails leaves around the house like late notices for the garden's deterioration. Turn a blind eye. RTE longwave announces gigs in familiar venues, I like the presenter's comfortable thoughts of tonight and the day after, until, that is, he introduces The Holy Land by the Bothy Band then veers into advertising a poetry broadsheet and a silver plate, before attacking quote the crimson tides and purple mountains end quote someone (who?) might waste their money on instead in Woolworth's. There's a snatch of a shipping forecast and I'm unloading the dishwasher when I hear a new voice, which strands me by announcing, 'This is The Archive Hour. And that was The Long Note 30 years ago today' out of earshot as I am of the autumn sun and rain which the radio forecast, too, on this hour that's gone south with its silver plate, its piano and bodhran, where, in Woolworth's, a crimson tide progresses beneath a purple mountain and someone hums a reel: he knows the start of it but puts a question mark against the title: it's 'The Holy Ground' but he doesn't join the dots. He has places to go. There will be time again for names and dates, for taking it all down, for credits, for footnotes. | LY | LY PO | 393,011 |
they should drive the car around the block and see if the tire fixes itself." [ src ] Note those brown parts of the CAD... where are those coming from? My old desk! I recently dismantled my desk because it no longer suits my needs (20" monitor + speakers didn't fit), so that left behind a whole load of particle board destined for the trash. I expect to get facepalms for my choice of materials but I designed the case in such a way that the particle board pieces will mostly be under compression loads rather than tension (especially when it comes to fasteners) so it should be OK. Here's a shot of me failing at using a band saw: I have a lot of material here to practice on This is the chopped HP case pieces with the two columns at the front like in the CAD: I didn't get a chance to hollow out the columns with a jigsaw yet, which I'll leave for when I've figured out exactly how to do the HDD mounts. That I'll do either before or after making the lower portion of the case where the PSU goes. I'm trying to incorporate the holding mechanism in on the bottom again so my scrap materials are not put under tension when carrying the case. __________________ "The computer programmer says they should drive the car around the block and see if the tire fixes itself."

Until The End Of The World Lyrics Haven't seen you in quite a while I was down the hold just passing time Last time we met was a low-lit room We were as close together as a bride and groom We ate the food, we drank the wine Everybody having a good time Except you You were talking about the end of the world I took the money I spiked your drink You miss too much these days if you stop to think You lead me on with those innocent eyes You know I love the element of surprise In the garden I was playing the tart I kissed your lips and broke your heart You...you were acting like it was The end of the world (Love...love...) In my dream I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows, they learned to swim Surrounding me, going down on me Spilling over the brim Waves of regret and waves of joy I reached out for the one I tried to destroy You...you said you'd wait 'til the end of the world [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/u/u2/until+th\\... ] | LY | LY SL | 341,359 |

LAWSON, Pres /CEO, National Mining Assn: In the next 20 years, the nation's electricity requirements will be in creased by 60 percent. We'll go from 3 trillion kilowatt hours presently to about 4.6 trillion kilowatt hours in 2020. INTERVIEWER: You're talking about America? RICHARD L. LAWSON: That's the United States. INTERVIEWER: Why does a rich country like America need to consume more energy? RICHARD L. LAWSON: It is a matter of all of the things that you and I see around us. A computer on the Internet uses one kilowatt per hour in use. And you think about the explosion of all of those computers not only in the country but in modernized and developing countries around the world, you begin to get an idea of what tomorrow looks like. MARTY HOFFERT, New York University: The total energy consumption of all of humankind at this point in time is about 10 terawatts. That's 10 trillion watts. That's the rate at which primary energy is used. That's the rate at which we are burning gas and oil and coal. That's 10 trillion watts. The projections - the so-called "business as usual" projection - is that over the next 100 years. the demand for energy will increase roughly by a factor of 4.

these days, I discovered names like Saki and Dickens in her shelves. Also she maybe inspired one of my favourite childhood books, which is The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien, as she had a old version of The Lord of the Rings that I found very enticing as a kid with its cover and Runic writing - so I was given The Hobbit when I was about ten as The Lord of the Rings was maybe too had for me at that age. I fell in love with the idea of far away places and adventures in them. Florence: I grew up in a diplomatic household, and every two to three years we'd up stakes and move to another country. It was difficult keeping up transatlantic friendships, and I learnt early on to rely on books rather than people for comfort and companionship. It helped that wherever we lived, there were always books all around us. Every night after dinner my siblings and I gathered on my parents' bed for story-hour, and my mother read aloud from all the great classics. When we grew too old for children's books she swapped them for Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, or Tanizaki. It was only when I finished high-school and moved to Paris that the tradition finally -- sadly -- came to an end.

that kid will be coming to a home that's been ready and waiting rather than one that's kind of rushed. We want to have children, and I get tempted to do it now/soon, but we're still planning to wait at least until I finish my residency (a one-year proposition, as a chaplain), and possibly wait the additional almost-year until my husband has a job, rather than being in school, to start trying. (Our plan, from our early discussions on, has been to wait until we've been married 2 years, first.) Sometimes it gets hard, when it seems like everyone I know is pregnant/has a new baby (I'm 28). But it would be good to have a source of income that isn't my work, first... And @Margie, if you're reading this- it's uncomfortable, for me as a Jew, to have my synagogue referred to as a church. And our religion has different teachings about fertility and conception than yours does. Traditional Jewish law says that while men have an obligation to reproduce, women technically do not (although, of course, one leads to the other), because you can't obligate someone to put their life in danger, which childbirth does. Therefore, contraception that works only within/on the woman's body is permitted- and some others are as well, in situations where there is a health risk, etc. Judaism also believes that sex has more purposes than reproduction, although we value that very highly. Nevertheless, a man is obligated to have sex with his wife, | OP | OP OB | 3,237,323 |

latter. It is not as good as completely preventing infection which is what an antibody might do, but because that is so difficult, and some might say it is almost impossible to get an antibody to neutralise all the variety of HIV viruses that there are out there, this is an alternative way to go to try and make sure the immune responses people make are better and they are less likely to develop disease. Q: How far are we from a vaccine that prevents HIV infection? AM: We are a little way closer than we used to be, but we are still a long way off I think. There was a recent trial two years ago in Thailand which took about 5 years to do. It showed that there was a 30% reduction in infection in people who are vaccinated. For a flu vaccine for example we would hope for 100% protection, so 30% is not terribly good but is a lot better than nothing. And if that result can be repeated, and that is a big if , but if it is repeated then I think we have opened the door slightly. I think that it will be possible to improve on that 30% and get it up to 50%, 60%, 70% and then we really would have a vaccine. But that whole process would probably take at least 5 years to get to that more efficient vaccine, and then another 5 years to roll out to give | SP | SP IT | 628,546 |
Portishead's Geoff Barrow is the man responsible for The Horrors' bold decision to write, record and produce their third album entirely by themselves in a chaotic box of a room in East London. During the sessions for brilliant second album Primary Colours , he sat the band down in a Bristol curry house ("it was a nice curry house" says Tom Furse) and told them to go it alone: "It was a nice curry house," continues the Horrors' synth man. "He said from what I've seen you don't need anyone else, you can go away and do the next one by yourselves. He said 'Just do it in a box', we said 'but we need a studio, Geoff' he said, 'no, just do it in a box.' That seeded the idea, and though we'd thought of it to hear it from him was really encouraging." The Horrors had tried to go to the countryside to record, but things didn't quite work out. "Rhys thought it might be fun to go to the country and really knuckle down," says Furse. "But it was a really uninspiring environment, it was beautiful, it was nice, down in Devon and we cooked wonderful meals, but I think maybe as people we just are more suited to the city. We did get 'Moving Further Away' from it, but it wasn't as exciting or fruitful as this place."

Khare, who is from California, spent 18 months creating her ArtPrize piece, "Elephants". Friday night, the 35 foot by 8 foot entry took the top prize-- $200,000. "Yesterday still feels like a dream. I was shocked with that kind of deer in the headlights feeling of is this really happening or is it not? And the whole evening went by so quickly," Khare said Saturday. "What I really wanted to say was just a big thank you, which is from the bottom of my heart." "Elephants" will remain on display at the Grand Rapids Art Museum as part of the ArtPrize collection.

infanticide based on the fact that it is practiced in the netherlands... now thats a good "support piling" on which to base morality... "theyre doing it, so it must be ok, so why dont we do it too !!" may i also remind you julian that a country right next door to the netherlands remains UNBELIEVABLY FAMOUS WORLDWIDE for its supposed programs of post-natal abortion; perhaps youve even heard of this country and of its post-natal abortion programs. the country was known as "nazi germany" and it supposedly post-natally aborted millions of jews, and supposedly nobody in the whole of the world thought that those programs were moral and hense we convened a globally sanctioned court and a series of famous trials at nuremberg WHERE THE SUPPOSED SUPPORTERS OF THOSE POST-NATAL ABORTIONS WERE TRIED AND THEN EXECUTED FOR MURDER, they were not acquitted for merely performing post-natal abortions !! so back to your "freedom of ethical expression" julian; i would suggest that you find a good radical supremacist of some sect to write a thesis on the "moral" validity and practical benefit of the post-natal abortion practiced in the netherlands, and how especially useful it could be if only it were to be more controlled by the state for the intellectual benefit of the next generation and if it were them also extended to children and then adults too. ey, if the right to live or die can be argued on one "moral" premise, such as whether you are deaf | OP | OP OB | 611,513 |
hspace add equal space either horizontally or vertically and therefore don't allow you to add space just on the right or just on the bottom. An alternative solution to this problem is to put the image in a table, and provide an extra column (to the right or left) and an extra row (to the top or bottom) put in a spacer.gif (1px x 1px transparent gif) and set the width to 10px for the column and length to 10px for the row.

I have one generic music release Andrea and I wrote years ago. I work with a lot more indie underground bands. My last soundtrack had groups like The Gossip.

He had not earned a penny at screeving, all the pitches under shelter being taken, and for several hours he had begged outright, with one eye on the policemen. He had amassed eightpence -- a penny short of his kip. It was long past the hour for paying, and he had only managed to slip indoors when the deputy was not looking; at any moment he might be caught and turned out, to sleep on the Embankment. Bozo took the things out of his pockets and looked them over, debating what to sell. He decided on his razor, took it round the kitchen, and in a few minutes he had sold it for threepence -- enough to pay his kip, buy a basin of tea, and leave a half-penny over.

Why do insurance companies reject valid claims? It may be that a sneaky insurance carrier does not want to pay out and will use delay strategies to stall the process. Strategies like suggesting that they haven't received important paperwork from the claimant, or sending the victim for another medical appointment when they have recently been considered, or a harsh delay in the time taken for a valuer to go over the remains of the auto to price up the damage. Whether it's an easy oversight or an obvious attempt not to pay, it can be classed as insurance bad faith. So what should you do if you're challenged with a case of insurance bad intentions? If you try to cope with such an issue on your own, then usually the insurance firm will have their own barristers who are working for them, and will run rings round anyone that is not experienced in legal affairs. By getting in touch with a team of Los Angeles auto accident attorneys who fully understand the complexities that an insurance bad intentions case can bring, and are used to coping with insurance carriers and their lawyers on a daily basis, implies straight away, you have evened up the playing field a little.

Also, given the speculation that her mother was also emotionally abusive, her famously sunny people pleasing nature make her a target for the mean and insecure.

Fans, observers, gossip columnists haven't exactly warmed to her pairing with Justin Theroux as if the public is doing a wait and see as to whether or not this guy is creep. Of the many possible cruelties, Pitt might have run out Aniston's bio clock as a final, "screw you." What did Aniston do to Pitt? Probably nothing. Abusers don't need reasons.

a hair bobble or elastic . Add a cute ribbon, barrette or charm to give it some personality if you'd like! If you feel that the fishtail is too tight, use your fingers to gently massage into the strands a little to loosen it slightly. If your hair is really long, more can be done at this stage, such as tucking the hair into a bun, weaving it around your head or across the front, etc. If you have slightly shorter hair, just fishtail it as far as you want. Method Two: French Fishtail Braid 1 Grab a section of hair at the top of your head, and split it into two halves . Start as you would for a regular French braid, with the section close to your center part. Hold one half in each hand. 2 Pull up a strand from the left side of your hairline . For a more uniform braid, start at the front of your hairline and work down the sides as you go. 3 Weave the strand over the left fishtail section and under the right fishtail section . Grab it with your right hand so that it's part of the right section. 4 Pull up a strand from the right side of your hairline . As you did with the first strand, weave it over the right fishtail section and under the left fishtail section. Grab it with your left hand so that it becomes part of the left section.

His personal email (@clear.net.nz), his own company email (@hisdomain.co.nz), a company he works for email (@company1.co.nz), and another company he does work for email (@company2.co.nz) I believe that one of the companies uses an exchange, so he logs in with the exchange details and can see all his folders / emails, and if they are updated on his work PC, it also updates on his home PC, Ipad, and Iphone (and vice versa).

hold onto the back of a chair for balance help). Do 15 repetitions in a row, on each leg. Squat walks Squats are probably one of the best booty shaping moves you can do (Solo incorporates lots of squat variations into her Olympics training), and this squat walk combo helps keep your heart rate (and your tush) elevated. To do : Start standing with your feet hip width apart, arms crossed over your chest. Lower into a squat by bending both knees, tracking them over - but not past - your toes and pushing your hips behind you (as if you were about to sit down on a chair). Keep your back straight, chest lifted and eyes straight ahead. Staying low in your squat position, take a step forward with your left foot, keeping left knee bent as you step and staying low to the ground. Wuickly take a step forward with your right foot, landing into your basic squat stance. Next, step backwards with your left foot, still staying low in your squat position, and then step back with your right, landing back into your basic squat stance. Try to repeat four times in a row (walking forward and back) without coming out of your squat position.

take the microscopic point of view. They are presented elsewhere in this website (click the underlined subject above to see more). Thermochemistry - It is the application of the first law of thermodynamics (conservation of energy) to processes such as: chemical reactions, phase changes, e.g., boiling and melting, and the formation of solutions. The first thermochemistry law (proposed in 1780) states that: the quantity of heat required to decompose a compound into its elements is equal to the heat evolved when that compound is formed from its elements. The second law of thermochemistry (discovered experimentally in 1840, also known as Hess law). It states that the heat change in a chemical reaction is the same whether it takes place in one or several stages. That is, the heat change depends on the initial and final states only (Figure 12-19). Chemical Kinetics - Chemical kinetics study reaction rates in a chemical reaction. It is measured by the amount of reactant used up, or the amount of product formed, in a certain period of time. Reactions with low activation energies go faster than reactions with high activation energies. The rate of a reaction can be affected by the temperature, the amounts of reactants in the container, and catalysts (Figure 12-20). Reactions almost always go faster at higher temperatures, because the increase in kinetic energy makes the reactants move faster and collide more often. The rate of a reaction also increases when reactants are added (resulting in higher concentration) since there are more | IN | IN CM EN | 188,841 |

Contrast that with the US where different people have different coverage or no coverage and the doctor has to verify what the particular person's coverage entails. So, they call some call centre to ask. How is that less obstructionist and more efficient. Doesn't that waste possibly critical time. Isn't that just an extra cost to be paid for by premiums?

First, you can always refuse to pay insurance premiums and do without, so an insuraqnce company is forced to walk a fine line between providing benefits and collecting premiums or the premiums stop.

It just frustrates me that there is such a who-ha about this among the church. Most of the basis of my morality and how I learned to treat people came from my Catholic teachings. If anything, my point of view on homosexuality comes from the teachings of the church, how Jesus loved the outcasts of his time and that love should be paramount over all. But instead, many of my fellow Catholics continue to condemn homosexuality and for what? Semantics and the notion that homosexuality is a 'sin' by default? Going by my experiences with homosexuals, I don't believe that. I'm not homosexual myself, so I have no reason to be offended on the principle that they don't accept homosexuals. But I have every reason to be disappointed that I'm condemned for an opinion born out of my Catholic beliefs; that man and woman have a right to love.

patients. Uninsured trauma patients are also far less likely to be admitted to a rehabilitation facility (long-term care for those who are not ready to go home but are not sick enough to need full hospitalization). In addition, the uninsured tend to be less medically literate than their insured counterparts are. This leads to communication issues with the doctors. It also makes it less likely for them to request specific treatment for symptoms and problems with their care. All of this is just more in the mountain of evidence for universal coverage for all citizens. It is clear from the data in this study and others that insurance is not something you should choose to purchase, it is something which is required for any kind of reasonable life in a modern nation.

How to get good digestive health How to get good digestive health. Why would we want good digestive health? If your goal is to feel fantastic and to get your body in the best shape of its life, then having a healthy digestive system is the starting point. You cannot lose weight, get a flat tummy, get clear skin or have a body full of real energy if your digestive system is out of whack. So it is important that we take the right steps to ensure we have a healthy digestive system. Here are the top 5 things to do to get your digestive system healthy. 1. Eat less Keep you meals smaller and eat more often. The more you pack into your body in one go, the harder it has to work to digest all that food. So smaller meals more often will allow your body to break down the food. Too much food is too hard to digest, too many foods make life confusing and if your body is struggling to break foods down, then it will get tired and run down. Keep meals smaller, and eat foods that are full of nutrients to fuel your body. 2. Hydration It is important to keep your body hydrated. 200,000 cell reactions take place in your body every second and they are all 100% dependant on hydration. So if you are dehydrated your body will slow down and get lethargic and tired. When your body is dehydrated it holds | HI | HI HT | 1,720,312 |

instead to retailers and smaller carriers that want to offer 4G service without having to build their own networks. Now, LightSquared does have some issues of its own to work through, notably some concerns about whether its network will interfere with GPS signals. So in the short term, I would not at all be surprised to see Sprint become a major partner with LightSquared, much as it did with WiMax provider Clearwire. Or perhaps, if Sprint does want to make one big acquisition, it could buy LightSquared outright. Sprint has a tough time ahead, and it has to act fast before nervous subscribers abandon ship. The perception of the company's chances of survival are at an all-time low and the resulting battering its stock has taken makes big moves even harder.

But, what I found so helpful about it is it made me realize how much progress I have made in the past few months. There is a fellow at work with whom I had to speak to etc. daily for a project we were on. It went to professional to very friendly and we discovered we have tonnes of interests in common (not sure about values), anyway, I wasn't necessarily thinking of it as a prospective romance, but it was lovely to have a male friend again. Then suddenly he seemed to cool towards me, mentioned he had a gf, and our interaction became more reserved/professional. It was never unprofessional or even skirting into flirting territory -- more like genuine delight and interest at having met a kindred spirit. At first, I fell back into my old habit of ruminating over what I had said/done/not said/not done wrong to put off this prospective friend... and then I thought, I haven't said or done anything. Whatever is going on in his head is going on in his head and isn't my problem. I'd never make a move on someone who was otherwise committed, I just wanted a friend. But whatever, so be it.

for cash, but I focused my efforts on a little department store card and paid it off, since I thought I had nothing to lose instead of spending that money on something else I jumped on the snowball program and our debt slowly starting dropping. All I had to do was give it a try, completely stop using all of my other other cards (it's best to cut them up, it really is), stick to our budget, and with each bill we paid off it became easier and we became more motivated. Now, there are some people who love to point out that mathematically it would be more effective to pay off your highest interest rate balance first (banks and credit unions often issue this advice), but, a Debt Snowball is not really about math it's about behavior modification. It's about giving your significant others and yourself some confidence and momentum. This is why, over time, the Debt Snowball method of debt payment has proven MORE effective and longer lasting than attacking your highest interest rate first. So if you have gotten your significant other on board with a monthly budget and you have *completely* stopped acquiring all other debt (no furniture, tires or storage containers on credit either), then you are ready for this next step. After you have built up a small emergency fund ($1500 is a good goal), you will stop putting money into savings.

Blog Directories Latest Tweets 'Like' Barratts Shoes Love Barratts Shoes? Love... This edition of Barratts' Blogger of the Week features our first ever Irish site as we chat to Jennie McGinn. Having launched, alongside her two sisters, the incredibly popular What Will I Wear Today she is here to discuss her latest project Prowlster -- a humorous yet insightful on-line magazine which may also alter the way you shop in the future! How would you describe your blog to Barratts' readers? Prowlster is new type of online magazine and shopping experience. It's an evolution of our fashion blog What Will I Wear Today. We started WWIWT as a group of sisters having a very light-hearted conversation around fashion. We very much positioned ourselves as 'insider-outsiders'; none of us worked in fashion, but we really, really liked fashion. So the tone was very down-to-earth, witty, irreverent and warm. We're going to continue this tone throughout Prowlster -- this is a magazine that is personal, warm and witty. Prowlster is a dynamic fashion magazine, that allows the reader to trend-hunt, style, mood-board and read across a range of fashion topics -- share all this with friends -- and then, shop if you want to. We're basically profiling and platforming all sorts of fashion talent and allowing readers to shop stuff they might not come across otherwise. It's a very social experience; it's important to us that readers feel part of the magazine -- offer tips, make comments, get involved! We're really excited | SP | SP IT | 3,064,949 |
however, is that the politics around restricting development is fertile ground for corruption as developers and landowners vie to have their land included within the development area." "If we are going to make a dent and if we are going to be able to supply a coherent series of reasons to the population, we need the federal government on side," Montreal city councillor Alan DeSousa said. "You can imagine how much simpler our lives would be if you have a coherent, cohesive message being sent by all levels of government to the population. Not only would people better understand the impact of climate change on their daily lives but there would also be a series of integrated measures across the board that are coherent. That definitely handicaps our efforts, particularly at jurisdictions at senior levels of government where we don't have any particular role, for example in industrial emissions." | OP | OP OB | 3,376,811 |
Tuesday poem: My lover Jim November 5, 2012 My lover Jim is ramrod straight, and flexible as steel. Once he's on top, it's hard to make him shift. He makes me sigh, and grunt and feel pain, though sometimes I can just lift him before he renders me 2D. I have swooned and swallowed blood. Nausea breaks like a fainting sea, and I have to stop before it floods. My legs at such weird wide angles kicking the heavy sky; or squats: my hair sweated into ratty tangles, and arms tied in barbarous knots. Knees squeak like fearful rodents in the famous verse by Burns, Robbie as I scythe myself into components. He's more an addiction than just a hobby. Jim's real charms show up in rear view when I'm alone with a looking glass -- four times a week between one, and two, makes miracles of muscle unsurpassed. P.S. Cottier My legions of loyal readers will have noticed that I just took slightly more than a week off. There were many reasons for this; a little disappointment here; a mini-existential crisis there. But my attending the gym four times a week had something to do with it too. Now that poem above is something of an exaggeration. I have never fainted at the gym, although I have come close.

When it comes to weddings, everyone has different ideas about what makes for a fabulous event. If your idea of the perfect ceremony and reception involves something a little more laid-back than the traditional white wedding, then embrace the summer season. Summer is the best time for a casual wedding and we have some ideas on how to make yours stand out. We asked Malvina Chevolleau, the owner and principal designer of Fabulous Occasions, an event planning and design boutique, to share some of her best tips for making your big day easy, breezy, fun and -- most importantly -- personal. 1. Have homemade wedding treats Having each of your guests contribute a signature dish to your wedding feast adds a hint of family tradition and community, and makes for a unique table feature. Chevolleau recalls one wedding she planned that included a down-home, collaborative sweets table: "All the women in the family contributed something, whatever their specialty was -- pie, cupcakes, tarts, trifle. It was really pretty and really unique," she says. "There were little notes placed beside each dish saying who contributed it and what their relation to the bride and groom was." After guests circulated the sweets table, they could move on to a DIY drink station. "We had a big lemonade stand with big jugs of pink lemonade made from the bride's mom's recipe with Mason jars, and everyone helped themselves," Chevolleau adds.

vent some sort of frustration: either way, it's not looking therapeutic or useful. 4th: In general, it seems that the current political argument (not a debate-- more an exercise in individual self-validation) is being spearheaded by two overlapping camps. In one camp, the voices speak of political agendas. In the other camp, the slogan is one of conspiracy. Like I say these camps overlap and include members of all parties and nationalities. I hope this polarity is a passing fad, and not an indication that Americans are no longer capable of reasonable discussion and compromise. Michael T | 8.3.09 @ 7:27AM mmm....while what Stein writes is a correct analysis (congrats)...all this was known prior to the election...why wasn't this written in the NY Times in the fall, before the election, when it might have had some impact...let me suggest why...Stein is a statist....for proof, see his articles in the NYT though the financial crisis when he advocated various government interventions into the market place via interest rates, Fanny Mae, and other "plans". Stein likely thought at the time that Obama was a sensible statist who would intervene intelligently -- it's the flaw that all statists have -- they think individual rights can be violated intelligently and they trust the violator without regard to future violations (i.e. future government interventions). So, Ben Stein, I applaud your article...wish it would have been written when it could have been written, written with regard to the protection of individual rights principles, to help America | IP | IP | 186,900 |

use of antisemitic language, publishing strong articles on this subject by Chris Elliott (the readers' editor), Jonathan Freedland and others. They have rightly noted that such language may well be inadvertent on the part of the user, while retaining its offensive power. Nevertheless, too many Guardian contributors continue to get away with using antisemitic imagery and tropes, the latest example being Steve Bell's cartoon (16 November) showing Tony Blair and William Hague as puppets of Bibi Netanyahu. This is an unoriginal way of visualising the old antisemitic charge that Jews are all-powerful. (The notion of Jewish power and conspiracy has long distinguished antisemitism from other racisms, which tend to depict their targets as idiots.) The paper's integrity and reputation is seriously compromised by its continuing failure to get a grip on its own content.

Introducing an entirely new kind of textbook that's dynamic, current, engrossing, and truly interactive. A textbook created by publishers using a new authoring tool from Apple. A textbook brought to life by iPad. The textbook dilemma. For hundreds of years, textbooks have put a world of knowledge in the hands of students. But while the way people learn has changed dramatically, the traditional textbook has stayed the same. Some things don't get better with age. Paper textbooks are expensive to produce and expensive for schools to buy. Which is why schools are forced to use a book for several years to make the finances work. But information changes so quickly that some textbooks are out of date almost before they're published. And as books are passed along from one student to the next, they get more highlighted, dog-eared, tattered, and worn. Heavy backpacks. Weighed-down students. It's no secret that paper textbooks are heavy. But what you may not know is that backpack weight is an increasing problem among kids. Studies show that heavy backpacks can lead to both chronic back pain and poor posture -- and many kids are carrying a quarter of their body weight in textbooks. The textbook transformation. Today's students have grown up completely immersed in technology. iPod, iPad, computer -- these are the ways they interact with their world. They need a textbook made for the way they learn.

charades -- something we hadn't done together in many years until they visited again last Thanksgiving. As in the past, there were moments of hilarity; also revelations, such as the fact that Jackson (now 14) is good at more than just soccer and street hockey. I had barely signaled "fourth word" and started to pull on pretend pants when he blurted out "Sponge Bob Square Pants" to win the round in record time. The next time they stay with us for a holiday, I have a feeling we'll play charades -- and I'm sure Jackson will be ready. -- Stephen Leon The Long, Long Table I don't know too many people who have a dining table that seats 15, as that kind of furniture started to vanish after the Victorian era.

the war merely by banning all controversy in this House. A little healthy controversy does this House no harm; often, it does it good. These issues must be faced sooner or later. We have been talking about them for two and a quarter years, and we have reached no decision on any big question. There are four questions crying out for solution. The first is the future of land ownership and control. On that I can conceive that a Government composed of all the political parties is not likely to reach any agreement, other than a compromise agreement, on a question which is highly controversial; but for Heaven's sake let us know how we are going to march into the new world after the war. Where are we going to stand on this question of land ownership and control? Unless we know that, the whole outlook is quite hopeless. Secondly, people want to know about the Uthwatt Reports. They have been in the hands of the Government for some time. I fully appreciate that they raise difficulties, but the public want to know, particularly in the blitzed areas. All those local authorities are, naturally, gravely concerned. Thirdly, there is the question of how we are to achieve, leaving aside the question of ownership and control, the best use of our land and natural resources; and coupled with that is the question of the proper location of industry.

borrow to deficit spend, the government then goes ahead and borrows large sums while deficit spending (and this is reported by the media) -- so anyone who says otherwise is, in their eyes, something of a crackpot. A poster on Warren Mosler's blog raised something to this effect. I think that the idea of the existence of fiat is something that many people have trouble getting their heads around, unfortunately. Yes, I know the point. I have been dealing with it all my professional life. People have been relentlessly conditioned to believe a national government issuing its own currency is identical to a household who uses that currency. It is obviously a nonsensical equation but we still believe it (as a society). I just plug away as an educator and slowly but surely we will separate the ideology (which is reinforcing this nonsense) from the reality. It seems you have personally made a bit of a journey since coming into contact with these ideas. One by one has always been my approach. Every new person who understands it becomes another teacher. At a rate of one by one you will never win the fight against these neo-conservative clowns. From the time they begin primary school they are being sold the lies and it is simply too late. Most of us here never believed in the neo-conservative lies and your work has simply formalised what many of us suspected.

with a further 10bn in further cuts being sought -- makes you wonder what exactly the point of stinging parents so severely for such little gain is. With the announcement of these cuts adding to what has already been a financially tumultuous time for people below the poverty line I doubt there has ever been a worse time to be a poor or sick parent in the UK. That figure of 800 pcm the Daily Mail came up with is based on a report that includes many items not necessary for someone who does need to claim benefits. Three-quarters of the report's total of over 200,000 over 21 years of upbringing is comprised of education 52k, childcare 54k, holidays 13k, babysitting 11k, and absolutely unnecessary expenses like driving lessons, buying a first car and luxury gifts at 12k. Subtracting all these -- not-needed by parents who are constantly at home -- brings the total down to 50k over 21 years or just about 200 pcm. I am almost certain other figures like food at 18k can be reduced further. Really? 18,000 for food or equivalent of 69 pcm for only one child? One can buy food for a family of four at that price!

However, the metaphor of running is interesting one since we all have a bit of a different pace, style, stamina, and distance. thomaslawrencelong - January 21, 2011 at 4:06 pm Researcher Robert Boice identifies two maladaptive behaviors that inhibit faculty productivity (publishing research and scholarship), what he calls "bingeing" and "busyness." Bingeing is grounded in the belief that one must have long periods of uninterrupted time in order to accomplish writing (a behavior that I suspect is learned in grad school). Busyness is grounded in the belief that I am too busy even to get started, much less to continue, writing.

How To Write A Blog Post Some of my blog posts have taken a long time to materialise. If I am to continue writing for this site then I need to get a better grip on the amount of time I spend creating the content. The problem is all to do with my current process! If I don't set myself a regular deadline then I don't get around to writing. There is always something more important... Even with a deadline I have a tendency to leave writing the post until the last minute. The basic idea would already be in my head and then I just sit down and start writing... Quite often I find things tend to veer away from the initial idea as it was too vague. This can be interesting as my subconcious starts coming out to play and the ideas for future topics can soon multiply, but this is far from ideal. The post tends to grow very rapidly and then requires heavy editing to try and focus the point a bit. This can lead to a lot more time than there should be going into each post... Posts on a specific, targeted topic, tend to be more interesting anyway. To help with this in future I need to create a more focused approach to writing posts.

had a provocation to respond to. In boxing they used to say it was a bad idea to hit the young Mike Tyson early in a fight because it just made him angry and hastened the moment of doom. Andrey Arshavin's winning goal in north London three weeks ago had a similarly counter-productive feel. What if it brought Guardiola's Bara past the tiny Camp Nou chapel and on to the pitch like Catalan dragons, looking for a Premier League side to burn? While Mascherano provided defensive security in front of a back four missing Carles Puyol and Gerard Piqu, the light fell on Messi to show that no team can cope with him when the mood grips him. His unplayability is what sets him apart. In his best form, a chasm opens between the game he is playing and the sport those around him are endeavouring to master. This was the call to him, on a night of artistic friction. The mission was to blind Arsenal with skill, movement, finesse, audacity. In Theo Walcott's absence Arsenal lacked the spearing penetration of the first leg, when they twice broke free to overturn Barcelona's lead. Van Persie played like an old-school No9 but a revamped home defence seldom back?pedalled. Instead their midfielders tried to thread passes beyond the oncoming Arsenal throng. Crosses were over-hit, dribbles carried on too long and shots mis-hit until Messi's feet regained their softness, their dexterity, and Barcelona headed for their dressing room in the ascendancy.

These are photos I'd always meant to go through, but for whatever reason they got the old reliable and famed long-fingered treatment that is my modus operandi. This set I've posted was from my second proper trip to Japan (I have taken one more overnight trip back in 2005), when myself and Herself travelled over at New Year for four days. It was kind of a Christmas surprise present for Herself, although she kind of knew she was getting it, as she had never been to Japan and we had been talking about it for years. Despite a brief scare the night before we left because Herself was in the process of being knocked around by a serious dose of flu, I dragged her out of the bed and we drove to the airport and flew over to Osaka. Dodging the quarantine scanners that are a regular sight at Korean and Japanese airports, we eventually found our hotel where herself took a quick nap.

ran a triage center there for all the HIV-positive people who became sick during the conference. They set up IV drug drips to rehydrate patients They gave antibiotics to people with AIDS-related pneumonia. Many had to be hospitalized and a few died. Even at a time when the world's response to the epidemic was sorely lacking, there were places and people of caring where people with AIDS found support. But tragically, there was so little that could be done medically. And thankfully, that has changed. Caring brought action, and action has made an impact. The ability to prevent and treat the disease has advanced beyond what many might have reasonably hoped 22 years ago. Yes, AIDS is still incurable, but it no longer has to be a death sentence. That is a tribute to the work of countless people around the world -- many of whom are here at this conference, others who are no longer with us but whose contributions live on. And for decades, the United States has played a key role. Starting in the 1990s under the Clinton Administration, we began slowly to make HIV treatment drugs more affordable, we began to face the epidemic in our own country. And then in 2003, President Bush launched PEPFAR with strong bipartisan support from Congress and this country began treating millions of people.

of a bookbeing released today by Wadhwa. "The U.S. risks losing a key growth engine just when the economy needs job creators more than ever," said Wadhwa . " The U.S. can reverse these trends with changes in policies and opportunities, if it acts swiftly. It is imperative that we create a startup visa for these entrepreneurs and expand the number of green cards for skilled foreigners to work in these startups. Many immigrants would gladly remain in the United States to start and grow companies that will lead to jobs." With funding from the Kauffman Foundation, Wadhwa has launched a website -- ImmigrantExodus.com -- as a resource for journalists and a voice for immigrant entrepreneurs. From the 107,819 engineering and technology companies founded in the last six years, the study examined a random sample of 1,882 companies in a nationwide survey. Of those companies, 458 had at least one foreign-born founder. The exceptions to this downward trend were immigrants from India. Although founders in the study hailed from more than 60 countries, 33.2 percent of them were Indian, an increase of 7 percent in 2005. Indians, in fact, founded more of the engineering and technology firms than immigrants born in the next nine immigrant-founder countries combined. While immigrant entrepreneurship has stagnated, the rates of Indian and Chinese startups have increased. In 2005, Indians and Chinese entrepreneurs accounted for 26.0 percent and 6.9 percent of immigrant-founded companies, respectively.

Re-enactment Game Celebrates first Rugby game in New Zealand On September 20th, 2011, Nelson celebrated a game which took place 141 years ago, on May 14, 1870, at 2pm, when 36 enthusiastic young Kiwis played the first game of Rugby in New Zealand between a Nelson College side and the Nelson Football Club. History records that a crowd of around 200 "including a fair sprinkling of ladies" gathered at The Botanics to watch the new version of football. Re-enactment Game in Nelson September 20th, 2011 The re-enactment took place on the very same patch of turf, at the Botanical Reserve, a picturesque spot that's become known as the "Birthplace of New Zealand Rugby", with the players dressed in clothing of the time and this time watched by thousands. Off the field the 19th Century Band Rotunda made a comeback as the stage for local brass bands, quartets and ensembles. Food stalls served Devonshire teas, cucumber sandwiches and high teas. The re-enactment was part of the REAL New Zealand Festival and was followed by a procession through Nelson to Trafalgar Park.

Mack reviewed Black Sheep , along with editor Todd Brown who likewise caught up with Director King for an interview . Wednesday, March 28, 2007 Fate works in mysterious ways. Last December, I posted a response to a TCM broadcast of The Enchanted Cottage as a Christmas missive to my ailing mother. For some reason or another Tim Massett who runs the San Marco Theater in Jacksonville, Florida, picked up the piece for his newsletter and forwarded a response from a woman named Grace. Tim and I exchanged email and he informed me of a series he was programming called "The Talkies" wherein he was bringing directors to talk about their movies. The first in the series was with Herschell Gordon Lewis. To make a long story short, Tim got me in touch with Herschell and Greencine has published our conversation.

to extract only specific text from a MARC subfield. Happily, you can extend the indexing by writing your own scripts which add new functions. There are a couple of ways of doing this, but the easiest is to write 'bean shell' scripts (basically Java) which you can then call from the index.properties file. Obviously we are going beyond simple configuration and into programming at this point, but with a little knowledge you can start to work the data from the MARC record even harder. Once you've written a script, you can use it from index.properties as follows: format = script(format-full.bsh), getFormat This uses the getFormat function from the format-full.bsh script. In this case I was experimenting with extracting not just basic 'format' information, but also more granular information on the type of content as described in the 008 field -- but the meaning of the 008 field varies based on type of material being catalogue so you get code like: f_000 = f_000.toUpperCase(); if (f_000.startsWith("C")) { result.add("MusicalScore"); String formatCode = indexer.getFirstFieldVal(record, null, "008[18-19]").toUpperCase(); if (formatCode.equals("BT")) result.add("Ballet"); if (formatCode.equals("CC")) result.add("ChristianChants"); if (formatCode.equals("CN")) result.add("CanonsOrRounds"); if (formatCode.equals("DF")) result.add("Dances"); if (formatCode.equals("FM")) result.add("FolkMusic"); if (formatCode.equals("HY")) result.add("Hymns"); if (formatCode.equals("MD")) result.add("Madrigals"); if (formatCode.equals("MO")) result.add("Motets"); if (formatCode.equals("MS")) result.add("Masses"); if (formatCode.equals("OP")) result.add("Opera"); if (formatCode.equals("PT")) result.add("PartSongs"); if (formatCode.equals("SG")) result.add("Songs"); if (formatCode.equals("SN")) result.add("Sonatas"); if (formatCode.equals("ST")) result.add("StudiesAndExercises"); if (formatCode.equals("SU")) result.add("Suites"); } else if (f_000.startsWith("D")) Once you've configured the indexing, you run this over a file of MARC records.

Colorado : Another extremely close state, Obama is up an average of 0.6 percent here. Losing Colorado leaves Romney with only 9.8 percent of available paths.

of research is still necessary before a firm conclusion can be arrived at," according to a conference review published in a prominent diabetes journal. In 1975, the foundation reconvened in Montreal to discuss research priorities with its consulting scientists. Sales were sinking, Tatem reminded the gathered sugar execs, and a major factor was "the impact of consumer advocates who link sugar consumption with certain diseases." Following the Montreal conference, the ISRF disseminated a memo quoting Errol Marliss, a University of Toronto diabetes specialist, recommending that the industry pursue "well-designed research programs" to establish sugar's role in the course of diabetes and other diseases. "Such research programs might produce an answer that sucrose is bad in certain individuals," he warned. But the studies "should be undertaken in a sufficiently comprehensive way as to produce results. A gesture rather than full support is unlikely to produce the sought-after answers." Industry-funded science projects were vetted by a panel with reps from Hershey's, Coca-Cola, General Mills, and Nabisco. A gesture, however, is what the industry would offer. Rather than approve a serious investigation of the purported links between sucrose and disease, American sugar companies quit supporting the ISRF's research projects. Instead, via the Sugar Association proper, they would spend roughly $655,000 between 1975 and 1980 on 17 studies designed, as internal documents put it, " to maintain research as a main prop of the industry's defense.

way that undercuts rather than reinforing racial stereotyping. A Jewish comedian can do the same about Jewish people - with the same proviso. Similarly a black comedian - Reginald D Hunter's a good example of someone who challenges racial stereotyping by rubbing it in the faces of his white audience; Cosby, on the other hand, simply reinforced white prejudices and assumptions about blacks. Spurs fans referring to themselves as 'Yids' goes back to the days when the fans of the other London clubs (and most of the clubs from outside London too) regularly levelled anti-semitic songs and chants at them. It was a case of "You think you can insult me by calling me a Yid? If I call myself a 'Yid', and even make clear that I'm proud of being a 'Yid', what happens to your insults?" I'm still trying to work out how exactly the term 'Yid' can be considered offensive to a black lawyer. And are some lawyer jokes potentially racist on the basis that in any large group of lawyers, some may be assumed to be of African or Caribbean descent? Section 5 states that it doesn't matter who is using the term - if it causes offense, you can still be charged. For example, if I were surrounded by a group of black men all using the term "nigger" as some do, if I or anyone else in proximity were to take offense to it, they can still be arrested.

way, which is why as a concept it has been so destructive. Thanks for this interview, Paul and Rebecca. Looking forward to reading this--I'll be hassling the Emory librarians to buy it! Something in the interview jumped out at me. Rebecca said: "What I think now, in a nutshell: "race" is a adaptable category that has meant different thing to different people in different places at different times. The ways in which people choose to articulate race, and the ways in which they choose to resist it, are historically contingent. I think in general that Europeans reinvented race each generation to suit their needs for power and domination. That's why I don't think my explanation of an idea of race among Anglo-Virginians excludes the explanation of a scholar who sees the force of the Enlightenment behind late eighteenth-century articulations of race. "Race" is deeply, perversely fungible that way, which is why as a concept it has been so destructive." Now, re-read that paragraph with "religion" in place of "race." It works remarkably well. These terms share an elasticity and historicity that I find fascinating--not to get too religious studies around here. So, yea, really excited to dig into this book.

system as a whole." The sweeping conclusions reached by the OECD report authors will certainly be challenged by great numbers of students, parents, and staff. Why? Because their appraisal will be based upon more than SES benchmarked comparative test results, and they are likely far more familiar with the true advantages -- for better or worse -- of a private school education. What was behind the sensationalist Toronto Star story painting all private schools with the same tarred brush? Why do private school students, worldwide, tend to perform better on student achievement assessments? If some socially-advantaged "public schools" do produce better student results, why do public school promoters continue to insist that all schools provide a good education? What is it about private schools that explains why their students tend to perform "significantly better" when assessed on a level playing field? Like this: 93 Responses Perhaps the motivation behind the Toronto Star's (Jennifer Yang) article captures the ever increasing need by the public system, in this case Ontario's MOE, to evaluate the competition.

taking, and that by definition we are not taking into account those companies that were unable to raise a new financing (and that likely resulted in a loss to investors), a Barometer increase in the 30-40% range should be considered normal. The results by industry are set forth below. In general internet/digital media was the clear valuation leader, followed by software, cleantech and hardware, with life science continuing to lag. Overview of Other Industry Data After 2Q11 there was reason to believe that the venture environment was improving, but the results were more mixed in 3Q11. While the amount invested by venture capitalists in 3Q11 was healthy, the amount raised by venture capitalists was significantly off the pace set in the first half of the year. As a result, venture capitalists are continuing to invest significantly more than they raise, an unsustainable situation (and one that perhaps provides increased opportunities for angels and corporate investors). IPOs also decreased significantly in 3Q11, although M&A activity was up. The internet/digital media industry continued to lead, while life science continued to lag.

It's possible to jump while in mid air if you fall off a ledge. I guess this is because instead of being coded to not allow you to jump in mid air, it's coded to only allow one jump until you hit the ground? Near the start of the forest level there's a ledge that become hidden by the tree, instead of having you drop if you walk over the leaves, you should still be able to stand on the ledge until you walk off the ledge (visible by the background below the leaves).
