President should get support on gun issues
President Obama is asking for more than he could possibly hope to get. The National Rifle Association, which has a death grip on many members of Congress, is offering next to nothing in the way of cooperation. Somewhere in the middle, we would hope, is a way to move forward to make the nation safer from incidents of gun violence.
On Wednesday, the president outlined his proposals in the wake of | a string of deadly mass shootings, the most recent being the massacre of schoolchildren by a gunman in Connecticut.

Ma'aden advances Saudi phosphate project
Pasadena, California – Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden) has awarded Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. a contract to provide a ‘bankable’ feasibility study/FEED for its Umm Wu’al phosphate project in the Sirhan-Turaif region, Saudi Arabia.
Ma’aden is proceeding with the development of its Umm Wu’al project, a major phosphate resource in the north of Saudi Arabia, to supply merchant grade phosphoric acid to the fertiliser, food and animal feed industries.
The greenfield project is located 35km northeast of Turaif and | about 100km to the west of the Ma’aden Phosphate Co. ‘beneficiation’ complex. The project envisages an open pit mine and beneficiation process, adding 1.5 million tonnes to Ma’aden’s planned annual phosphate capacity.
In addition to the new phosphoric acid production, the project will supply phosphate intermediate products, including purified phosphoric acid, sodium tri-poly-phosphate, mono-calcium phosphate and di-calcium phosphate, to augment Ma’aden’s phosphate product mix.
The overall project requires a power distribution plant and associated infrastructure. | [

Property tax may be paid out of pensions
The Government will give property owners who receive State pensions the option of having their property tax payments deducted directly from their pensions when the tax comes into force next July.
Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton said in a memo to the Cabinet yesterday that her department would introduce a “deduction-at-source” scheme for all social welfare recipients by the time the local property tax is introduced.
The scheme will enable such property owners to spread out their payments in instalments between July and the end of the year. Such deductions will not be automatic – recipients must elect to have the tax taken at source.
The development came amid claims on the Government backbenches that the tax will place a disproportionate burden on the owners of property in Dublin.
Fine Gael TD Olivia Mitchell complained of a “huge inequity” in the way the new tax is calculated, saying on RTÉ radio that the tax due on a Dublin house could be up to six times bigger than that on an identical house elsewhere.
“Nobody, no matter where you live in Ireland, can think that is fair,” she said. “It is going to be difficult to pay and it is going to be extremely unpopular, but every tax has to be fair | and reasonable.”
Although most people accepted with reluctance that a property tax was needed, they would “bitterly resent the method that is used to calculate it”, she said.
Such concerns were dismissed by the Government’s spokesman. “The ultimate judgment in relation to it is to vote for it and this has been voted through and it is now the law,” he | [

Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan has spoken about her relationship with Max George.
Keegan and The Wanted singer called off their engagement in April this year.
However, the actress insists that they never argued over the issue but it was taken for practical reasons.
She told Fabulous: "We're not engaged any more, but not because we fell out or there was an argument.
"It was just there was no chance of us getting married any time soon because of our schedules.
"He's away in America most of the time now and we just had a word about it."
She added: "I'm a traditionalist so if I'm engaged, I want to get married and that's not happening soon.
"I was getting asked by everyone: 'Have you set a date? Have you been shopping with your mum? Have you chosen your dress?'
"So we just thought that we'd just say we're not engaged and then nobody will ask and there's no pressure."
The couple began dating in December 2010 and originally got engaged in June 2011.
Since they decided to end their engagement George has insisted that they still plan to get married at some point.

As if it were not outrageous enough that there existed a list, the so called Tascon list, which contained the ID numbers of all Venezuelans who signed a petition requesting a recall referendum against President Hugo Chavez, today we find out in El Universal that there was an even more sophisticated piece of software, we could call it the Super Tascon list, which was used by Chavez’ campaign command during their campaign to drive out the NO vote (and stop the Si vote) in the recall referendum. For recent arrivals, the Tascon list was a copy of the database from the Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) which was placed on the webpage of Luis Tascon, a Deputy from Chavez’ MVR party and distributed in CD’s. The list has been used to fire, hire, discriminate and persecute those that signed against Chavez and work or wanted to work for the Government, as documented | in the category Tascon Fascist List on the left. It was a very simple program, you would put in the ID number of the person and it would tell you where they vote and whether they signed against President Chavez or not.

The basic principle of the pendulum effect is this: If you keep putting energy into something and keep pushing it, eventually it will give you something back.
There are times when I truly thought maybe I was mad and everyone else was right. Maybe I should give up my mad experiment of entrepreneurship and freedom, accept defeat and go back to the 9 to 5. But that is usually the point when I just need to push that little bit more and suddenly the pendulum swings back with it’s own energy.

I have long suspected that the construction of bike paths and lanes has very little to do with how much cycling people actually do, at least here in the US.
Of course, my belief was based on nothing more than my own observations and experiences. One thing I've always noticed is that racers and dedicated cyclists tend to ride whether or not there's a bike lane, or even a well-paved road that doesn't have much traffic. (The latter category includes routes departmentales, on which I did much of my cycling in France.) On the other hand, there are lots of people who say they'd "love" to ride to work or for pleasure, but feel that "it's too dangerous" or that it's inconvenient. Such people never seem to be swayed--with good reason, I've come to realize--by the construction of a bike lane, even if it takes | them door-to-door from their homes to their workplaces or wherever they shop or entertain themselves.
Don't get me wrong: I appreciate the efforts of governments to improve conditions for cyclists. As an example, I am very happy that lanes were constructed on the Queens side of the Edward I. Koch/Queensborough/59th Street Bridge. I often cross that bridge. Its entrance at Queens Plaza is also a conduit for traffic to and from the | [

It's a great feeling when you can get a capable device at a not-so-capable price. The ViewSonic VX2450wm-LED is one of the most popular nonreviewed (until now) monitors on CNET, and though ViewSonic is a solid monitor company, much of that interest stems from the fact that it's a 24-inch display, available for less than $200.
For someone looking for a by-the-numbers display, a cheap monitor from a known vendor with a nice -size screen is hard to pass up. But does the ViewSonic VX2450wm-LED offer more than that?
Design and features
The ViewSonic VX2450wm-LED takes a lot of what has worked in recent LED monitor designs without getting too ambitious.
Its glossy black bezel is adorned with a transparent "lip" on the bottom. In the middle of the lip is a 1-inch-wide power button that glows blue when powered on. The bezel measures a fairly short 0.8 inch on the sides and the distance from the bottom of the lip to the desktop is 3.2 inches at its longest.
The panel's initial depth measures a very thin | 0.6 inch, with another 1.25 inches tacked on the back to house the connections and ventilation system. The monitor's corners are sharp and kind of pointy, which betrays its otherwise rounded edges. The square-shaped foot stand measures 9.2 inches and just about the same in depth. When knocked from the sides, the display wobbles considerably, but with little chance of it actually toppling.

BEIJING — The world's leading psychiatric association voted on Monday to send a delegation of experts to China to look into charges that Chinese psychiatric hospitals are being used to silence political and religious dissidents.
Officials of the World Psychiatric Association, which is meeting in Yokohama, Japan, said that Chinese health officials had been cooperative so far. A preliminary fact-gathering delegation is scheduled to travel to China next spring.
But the resolution fell far short of steps proposed by human rights advocates and some other psychiatrists, who insist that systematic psychiatric abuses in China are rampant, perhaps even more severe and widespread than they were in the former Soviet Union.
A resolution proposed by Britain's Royal College of Psychiatrists demanded a more independent commission and urged the association to consider barring the Chinese Psychiatric Association if evidence of abuse was found.
"The decision is very disappointing," said Robin Munro, a human rights scholar whose | research on psychiatric abuse in China largely brought the topic onto the agenda this year. "The WPA is sidelining itself and tarnishing its own reputation."

It doesn't happen often, so mark the calendar. The bureaucracy
has actually bowed to the wishes of the American people.
Somebody or bodies in the new Bureau of Citizenship and
Immigration Services (BCIS) planned to celebrate Constitution Day on
September 17 by changing the oath of citizenship which new citizens
take when they are naturalized. The plan was to make it immediately
effective, using it at an immigrant swearing-in ceremony and publishing
it in the Federal Register on the same day.
Fortunately, this covert mischief was discovered in time and
denounced by the American Legion, former Attorney General Edwin Meese,
and Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN). The bureaucrats got the message
and announced they are going back to the drawing board.

Meeting professionals are long overdue to retire learning style myths in favor of evidenced-based education. (So are ASAE and the Convention Industry Council-CIC-which promotes unscientific learning styles in the CMP Handbook!)
It’s time for conference organizers to bridge the gap between learning research and practice.
It’s time to bring the research into the conference planning for successful education and learning.
“unlike medicine, agriculture and industrial production, the field of education operates largely on the basis of ideology and professional consensus. as such it is subject to fads and is incapable of the cumulative progress that follows from the application of the scientific method…we will change education to make it an evidence-based field,” U.S. Department of Education (2002), 48.
The progress to evidenced-based education has been slow. The progress to evidenced-based conference education is practically non-existent.
The time has come for meeting professionals to embrace evidenced-based education. The time is now to retire learning style myths in favor of more valid, scientifically proven instructional design.

The Benson Grist Mill is a rugged monument to a dynamic pioneer past
STANSBURY PARK, Tooele County — The exchange was like a conversation straight out of a familiar car commercial on TV:
"What's that?" a tiny girl asked upon stepping inside a shadowy wooden structure at the Benson Grist Mill Historic Site in Stansbury Park, where supervisor and guide Suzy Wall was offering a tour. The girl pointed to timeworn hardware hanging on an inside wall.
"These are tools," the child learned. The equipment, inside the "Bolinder Blacksmith Shop," is part of an artifact collection from a horse | -powered era, long ago. But she wanted to know more.
"What's this?" and "What's that?" she asked a few more times in her inquisitive little-girl voice. A young woman approached along an outdoor path, pushing a stroller.
Curiosity has no age limit, and for children and former children interested in Utah's agricultural and mechanical past — 150 or so years ago, when this territory was the settlers' prospective "State of Deseret" — pioneer Ezra T. Benson's grist mill site is just the ticket.

I had purchased our tickets to New York for business class.

Katie Putnam, The Mexico Institute’s Elections Guide, 6/28/2012
The final polls before Sunday’s presidential election find frontrunner Enrique Peña Nieto (PRI-PVEM), who has led throughout the campaign, to have an advantage of 10 to 17 percentage points over his nearest rival, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (PRD-PT-MC). Most polls find López Obrador leading Josefina Vázquez Mota (PAN) by around five points; the fourth candidate, Gabriel Quadri (PANAL), trails the others by over twenty percent. Support for both Peña Nieto and López Obrador has risen slightly in the final weeks of the campaign, and the percentage of undecided voters has declined to its lowest point.
A wide margin?
Three new polls find Peña Nieto ahead by more than 15 percent. Peña Nieto leads by 17.1 percent in the new poll from El Universal/The Dallas Morning News/Buendía y Lared | o (June 22-24), with 45 percent of the effective vote (excluding non-respondents).

My son has been potty-training for about a month or so, with pretty good results. It started with a few days of wearing underwear instead of a diaper, and having accidents, since he didn't know how to go on the toilet, even though he was pretty good at holding it in.
The big breakthrough came when he learned how to go on the toilet, and since then he's been pretty good, with accidents now and then.
One of the first things he learned was to "stay dry" — in other words, no poop or pee in his pants.
However, this has | led to an interesting dilemma for him — he thinks he can "stay dry" forever to avoid ever pooping or peeing. Lately, he has been expressing just how much he hates pooping and peeing. He will tell us he "has wees" and then run to the toilet, but when he gets there, he | [

I first met Sargeant in 2000 when he brought the Beat film retrospective to the Brisbane International Film Festival (BIFF), one of the festival’s many incredible programs over the last decade. He met Richard Sowada, who “was instrumental in bringing me to Australia.” Sowada, now Head of Film programs at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), had been the founder of the REV fest, now the Revelation Film Festival, one of Australia’s most important screen cultural events. Sargeant spoke to me about life in his third year at the festival.
A festival programmer today has to juggle a lot of different things—what’s the most interesting thing about working on REV for you?
It’s interesting, because it has to embrace different, simultaneous discourses. There’s the ‘underground’ thing, but that is more of a minority interest. You also have to make sure people come and you screen larger films. I’ve always got to be programming for that combination. For example, this year we’re showing Mike | Kuchar’s film, Sins of the Fleshapoids, a work which will be unknown to many people, and is pure 60s underground cinema. On the other hand we’re showing a documentary about The Doors called When You’re Strange. It’s different because it doesn’t have Ray Manzarek talking on about the past. Instead it’s got hitherto unseen footage and music all the way through. That’s a lot more of an accessible film, a more recognisable festival title, and I imagine other festivals | [

Hi Crafty Fox,
160 lbs. is not HEAVY!..... in fact it's very light for an adult male windsurfer.
The average is normally around 180 lbs-185 lbs. (81-84 Kg.)
So, the issue is not your weight.
What board did they put you on?
I would have to say that their technique is realy not good.
If you need to get the nose of the board downwind, to get underway, that is something you
do with sail angle....not tipping the rig forward.
As far as your front foot, yes, you need to have it in front of the mast foot, but ONLY when you are in the process of uphauling.
Once the sail is uphauled and and you mast is held in your front hand, you need to get your front froot behind the mast foot BEFORE you even put your back hand on the boom to begin to sheet in.
Try bringing the mast across the board in front of your front shoulder (AFTER you have moved your front foot behind the mast foot) until it balances on the mast foot.
THEN sheet in very slowly and gently.
Your board will move off nicely straight across the | wind if you pay attention to your "T" position alignnment.
You CANNOT really sail a windsurfer very successfully with your front foot IN FRONT of the mast foot.

Our congregation is at a crossroads and a dilemma. Our parish priest is at manditory retirement age, and will leave at the end of the year. Because we are in a basically rural area with a smaller population, the diocese has decided to not send another full-time priest. There are three congregations in our county facing this same problem. All three congregations also have the problem of an aging and declining membership. My wife and I are some of the youngest in our congregation, and we are in our 50s!
I looked at the situation and realized I have two choices here. One is do nothing, let the church decline and close when the priest leaves, and go somewhere else larger. Or, two, step up and mobilize what we have and reignite a fire where I am. I have talked with the parish priest about this, and we have developed a plan to execute the second option.
What I am going to do, via a series of meetings and simply implementing what should be done, is to reignite the vision the congregation had at the beginning, and to demonstrate to them that the church can go on without a full-time priest. This congregation has been in existence roughly 120 years. There is rich | history here that should not be set aside. There is also a tradition that everything must be planned and executed by the priest-in-charge.

[time-nuts] Thunderbolt stability and ambient temperature
holrum at hotmail.com
Tue Jun 9 19:47:04 UTC 2009
I think that using a well insulated box (like a fridge) is probably not going to improve things much with a Thunderbolt. The very modest improvement going from a simple cardboard box (and.17C shifts) to an insulated box (and.060C shifts) seems to imply that we are close to the inherent noise limits of the Tbolt.
If you can get your Tbolt/power supply isolated enough to keep the temperature | cycles below around 0.2C you should be doing well. The better the insulation, the higher the electronics temperature (and its potential effect on reliability). The Tbolt goes into a major alarm state at 60C. Lady Heather flags temperatures of 50-60C in yellow. The one thing that a larger enclosure does provide is better buffering of the temperature. You can get better isolation from ambient with less effect on the electronics temperature that a small, tightly insulated box can provide. Perhaps something like a small | [

$180 Million Sale Supports Company's Announced Stock Repurchase Plan
CHICAGO, June 5, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Tribune Company (TRB) today announced the sale of WATL-TV (channel 36), Atlanta, to Gannett Co., Inc., for $180 million. The transaction will close upon regulatory approval.
"This reflects an important aspect of the stock repurchase strategy that we communicated last week," said Dennis FitzSimons, Tribune chairman and chief executive officer. "Our goal is to generate additional shareholder value through improved operating performance, asset sales and the disciplined repayment of debt over the next several years.

The other key thing is that the Everton fans decided long ago that when (not really if) Hibbert scored, they would riot on the field. In fact, | the single comment on this YouTube video from a few months ago, showing Hibbert scoring in practice (and the crowd playfully cheering the moment), is WHEN HIBBO SCORES WE ROIT.

Bailout could boost inflation, sink dollar
Oil and gold surged Monday as investors worried that huge new debts will harm US Treasury's credit standing.
(Page 2 of 2)
The biggest tab so far is the Treasury’s still-emerging plan to buy $700 billion in mortgage-related debt, but it goes beyond that. Among the other Treasury costs Mr. Patelis cites: An $85 billion loan to insurance giant AIG, $10 billion for purchases of mortgage bonds from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac this month, $100 billion to fortify the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet, $50 billion to insure money market mutual funds.Skip to next paragraph

In all these cases, it’s not clear that this is money that taxpayers will ultimately have to pay. Much of the money to buy debts, for example, should be recouped when those assets are later sold.

Meanwhile, many economists and investors are wondering if the $700 billion fund to buy shaky mortgage-related debts will achieve its objectives.

8-year-old hands out bags of heroin at school
Share with others:
Police in Wilkinsburg said an 8-year-old boy took more than 60 small bags of heroin to school and was passing some of them out to other third-graders before a teacher caught him.
At a press conference today, police and school officials said a teacher at Turner Elementary School notice the boy fumbling around in his pockets during class Tuesday and asked him about it. He pulled out the drugs.
Another student had one of the bags, and four other students said they had also come in contact with the bags.
Police seized 60 bags and found 18 more empty packages in a classroom trash can.
Investigating Officer Mike Adams said he believes those bags, marked "trust me," somehow came open and the powder spilled out.
There have been no reports of the students ingesting the drug, but school officials sent a letter home to parents Tuesday informing them of the incident.
The | boy's parents were contacted but no arrests have been made.
School Superintendent Archie Perrin said officials discovered the family was not living in Wilkinsburg.

365 More Words into the Void
Tired of words and the knowledge that words only forge lies out of truth.
Reading more Jed McKenna. Though I resist some of what I read at the time, I come away thinking that anyone who is serious about getting to the truth needs to read McKenna, and then decide if they are really serious or not.
I am no longer so sure about myself – except for the fact that I don’t feel serious about anything else. Even so, I am a slave to my habits. Habits provide continuity which provides security. So what I am trying to get free of is the same as what I will not let go of. Habit. Beneath everything I do is one thing. Fear.
Everything I do is dictated by a preference for comfort over discomfort. It is absurdly meaningless. The ego’s program is so pathetically base – what makes it pathetic is not the baseness but how it covers up that baseness with lofty ideals and blatant lies that anything we ever do is motivated by anything else besides a preference for comfort over discomfort. It is sickening in the extreme. The hypocrisy of it.

Agennix AG (AGX.AX) Friday announced that it is contemplating to implement a restructuring program to conserve cash for taking new strategic steps for future progress.
The publicly listed biopharmaceutical company stated that as per the restructuring plan, the total workforce of the company would be reduced by approximately 55 percent.

Norv Turner is among the ex-coaches looking for work after the Chargers fired him Monday. / Lenny Ignelzi, AP
Norv Turner received a note last week from Josh Whitman, a former player for the San Diego Chargers and now the athletic director at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse.
Whitman played only one season under Turner, in 2001, when Turner was the offensive coordinator, but Whitman wanted to thank him for everything he'd done for him.
"On the bottom of it he said, 'you changed my life,'" Turner told reporters Monday during his final press conference after being fired by the Chargers. "And that's what you | 're trying to do as a coach."
They call it "Black Monday" in the NFL. There's breathless speculation and posturing leading up to it, and a race to report the news. There are fans hoping for the news their coach gets fired, with the Chargers' faithful using the hashtag #FireNorv on Twitter for a long time now. But behind all of the names scrolling across the bottom of the screen or popping up on Twitter feeds are human beings who just lost their dream jobs.

NTSB’s 787 Findings May Lead to Boeing Battery Redesign
Evidence is mounting that Boeing Co. may have to redesign the battery on its grounded 787 Dreamliner as U.S. National Transportation Safety Board experts pursue the cause of a Boston jet fire last month.
NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman yesterday said U.S. regulators’ assumptions in certifying the 787’s lithium-ion batteries “must be reconsidered” after investigators found a short-circuit in one cell set off a chain reaction that destroyed the unit.
What’s known so far suggests Boeing will have to come up with a new design, John Hansman, an aeronautics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said in an interview.
“They weren’t supposed to have a fire, and they had a fire, so something went wrong,” Hansman said. “By doing it this way, the NTSB has forced Boeing to do something significant, to prove that they’re doing something different with the battery.”
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration | yesterday said Boeing can conduct test flights to speed efforts toward resolving the battery faults.
Investigators and Boeing are probing the causes of a fire in a Japan Airlines Co. Dreamliner in Boston and a cockpit battery warning, along with the smell of smoke, that spurred an emergency landing in Japan by an All Nippon Airways Co. 787. Those incidents triggered orders by the FAA and foreign regulators starting Jan. 16 that grounded all 50 Dreamliners in service worldwide.

Just over a year ago, Democratic and Republican members of Congress gathered on the Capitol's West Front to hear President Obama's Inaugural Address. Like many of his predecessors, Obama called on Congress to change the way it does business. "The time has come to set aside childish things," he said, quoting scripture. "On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics."
But Congress didn't change for previous presidents. And it hasn't changed for this one.
Liberals, moderates, and conservatives stuck to their guns in 2009, whether for ideological, partisan, parochial, or electoral reasons, stymieing much of Obama's agenda. National Journal's annual vote ratings, which have ranked members of Congress on a conservative-to-liberal scale since 1981, found | telling consistency in the long-standing ideological divides that define legislative battles on Capitol Hill.

The Pantry project is a direct response to the growing need among the UC Davis student population for more aid and resources to help offset the Financial burden of the current economic climate in combination with rising fees, textbook costs, and living expenses. It is becoming increasingly difficult for students to juggle the costs of living while working to obtain a University degree, and thus many students are finding themselves choosing between basic essentials such as food and toilet paper and the required costs of college. It is for this reason that The Pantry has been established to help offset these financial burdens and ensure that students may continue on to successfully complete and obtain their degrees from the University of California, Davis.
The Pantry is the result of a campus-wide collaboration between the Associated Students of the University of California, Davis (ASUCD), the Community Advising Network under the umbrella of Counseling and Psychological Services, and the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs.

Tuesday night. We had got some stressful work days out of the way; we had got some camping with friends out of the way; all three of us were fit and healthy (sleep deprivation, as always, aside) … conditions were perfect (as Jemaine says at 0:40).
At 7.30 I gave Maja a bath. She sat there with her stubby little legs out in front of her, slick little tummy breaching the piles of fragrant white bubbles, little fingers playing with her scrubbing brush. I washed her hair, and her ringlets got dark and long and shiny and her face took on this cherubic aspect that seldom presents itself to me when she’s racing round the house during the day, a ball of fluffy energy.
