Posted on 10/07/2012 11:41:51 AM PDT by Mozilla
Bombshell: The Obama State Department withdrew a 16 member special forces team from Benghazi one month before the deadly attacks on 9-11. Lt. Col. Andy Wood was the leader of the 16 member special forces team whose job it was to protect US personnel in Libya. His teams mission ended in August a month before the deadly Al-Qaeda attack on 9-11. A six member mobile security team was also withdrawn around the same time. This was despite the fact that there were over a dozen attacks in the country this year. Lt. Col. Wood was subpoenaed to appear at a House committee hearing this coming week. Wood told CBS News it was unbelievable to him that the State Department withdrew security when they did because of the 13 security incidents before 9-11.

Obama's, "We'll leave the light on in the window for ya.", moment.
Can't wait to hear Obama's excuses for this. He better come up with some good ones before the foreign policy debate.
Was Obama really that much afraid that our BAD-ASS SPECIAL FORCES might shoot some poor, dumb muslim just because he was dragging the body of our ambassador through the streets?
what a bunch of dolts
What will be the date of the foreign policy prez debate...?!
Won't THAT be fun....?!!!
It was not an accident. I think they are setting up the US homeland for attack, too.
Which means that Rice lied on the Sunday shows when she said the Seals who were killed were providing security for the abmassador.
Nachum - who does this kind of ping?
I can't see any other angle other than that Stevens' murder was a hit job.
Maybe his poor debate performance was indicative of these future events...he knows his goose is cooked and/or I am still highly suspect the regime had this detail and ambassador taken out.
I think he knows it is over.
I think the same thing. I also think that there is/will be more dissension in the fedgov ranks as not all fedgov employees are traitors.
You and I are on the same page.
With this attack there was an orchestrated news story to gin up civil unrest. With every single terrorist attack in this country since 1993, the left has orchestrated news stories to gin up civil unrest prior to the attack.
It's the Weather Underground playbook.
With a Romney win there will be claims Romney stole the election and race riots. There will be more race riots when Romney is sworn in. That's when I'm expecting the attack.
"I cant see any other angle other than that Stevens murder was a hit job."
You bet! Ambassador Stevens knew too much and had to be taken out. Kinda like Ron Brown.
And this is why obama and his ilk need to be brought up on charges.
Pray for Romney/Ryan and for America.
I am expecting riots too. Also keep in mind 0bama could be looking for a reason to postpone elections. What happens if charges of treason start floating around 2 week prior to the election? Does Romny/Ryan run unopposed? Who do the democrats have waiting in the wings? Hillary won't be able to run etc.
Everything the Obama administration says is a lie. I don't think they have ever been honest from day one.
Question is, why is Obama running for another term and not getting called out about this as we speak?
Why should Obama be allowed to run for another term? He is a criminal.
Race riots...they are already happening at a slow and steady pace in Philadelphia and Chicago. California's governor is releasing gang members from prisons.
In the past when the Left lit major race riots on Rino presidents, the radicals made more "progress" than they would in power. Hope Romney does not meet their socialist demands if he gets in and the Left pulls an "American Arab Spring." If he gives them an inch, they will take a mile.
And you are right that now we have to consider the Left's Muslim Brotherhood joining the "riot" in the form of carrying out jihadist war tatics. I'm glad Americans with a brain are armed and ready. Ofcourse, Bammy has the US gov. geared toward taking down jihadist American enemies - "the tea party" and American veterns - in such a domestic terrorist event.
We are in for a ride no matter who wins this election. If the GOP gets power and then surrenders to the Left, America is dead.
I am waiting for the intelligence people to start leaking the debriefing info from the 32 people wo were rescued. Notice NOTHING has been said about these people. What did they see? Did they call for help?
That being said, if they have to go into full blown cover up try and save this clown in order to save the dem party they will.
The dems have backed themselves into a corner with this idiot and the Clinton's, and their only way out appears to be with violence.
Just how violent and how widespread is anyones guess.
Hillary is a complete psycho. She would start a full blown WWIII to save herself.
I cant see any other angle other than that Stevens murder was a hit job.
Null and Void has the right ping list.
By whom? These guys?
This is terrible.
The bastard, Obama, has set people up to die so that he can have his foreign policy event and get reelected.
I predict that he will do the same thing within CONUS.
Anyone remember the Ammonium Nitrate that Homeland Security purchased a few months ago? I would not put it past the liberals to use it against our country and blame the muzzies.
I don't believe it either. No one is that stupid, to do it or to believe it. The question is why did the administration do it? They act guilty, complete with one or more botched coverups. Why?
Proverbs 16:18 has a lot to say to obama and SoS Clinton.
Plenty of potential fun left for these last days of the obamanation and the Mayan calendar!
Interesting times, indeed!
That's rhetorical, right?
I believe the dems were ready to sacrifice Obama and have him loose the election to try and save the dem party.
This attack might have changed everything. They might have to try and save Obama to save the dem party.
Do they throw Hillary under the buss to try and save Obama and the dem party, or do they try and save both Obama and Hillary?
Hillary won't go quietly, she will orchestrate violence.
I cant see any other angle other than that Stevens murder was a hit job."
I would agree. There is just too much going on here when one looks at the evidence (so far) that he was set up. I have, in fact, included his demise in my "Obama Dead Pool" file. It just seems to grow and grow. Here is what I have put down for this man-
Ambassador Chris Stevens: (Also see the Nachumlist: "Benghazi-Gate" file ) Killed by a mob in Libya. The Obama administration ignored warnings two days prior to the attacks. Hillary Clinton made the decision not to post Marines. New now comes out that Stevens was gay: meaning that Obama sent a publicly gay man to be an ambassador in a Muslim country. Obama skipped intel meetings for days leading up to the attacks despite credible information of the attacks. Video: Libyan democratic party spokesman: amb christopher stevens was a muslim (Statement that Ambassador Chris Stevens was a Muslim is made between 1:00 & 1:20); Col. David Hunt: "State Department just allowed our guys to get killed" : Glenn Beck video: Stevens was a CIA operative and weapons dealer- Glenn Beck "the Blaze TV" 9-17-12 US arms terrorists in Middle East? ; Report: Terrorist Behind Ambassador Murder 'Ally of Sorts' to Obama Admin ; Report: Murdered Ambassador Knew He Was On Al Qaeda Hit List ; Video of Stevens Murder: What Really Happened- Video which some news outlets claimed had showed Libyans trying to save Ambassador Stevens turns out to show the opposite.; Clinton: 'No Info' Amb. Stevens Was on al Qaeda 'Hit List' ; Evidence mounts that al-Qaida group killed US ambassador to Libya ; Obama Politicizes The Sacrifices Of The SEALs - Again ; Did Hillary Clinton send a gay ambassador to Libya as intentional provocation? ; CNN obtains journal of slain ambassador, reportedly goes against his familys wishes ; Anderson Cooper admits that CNN found slain American ambassador's journal inside U.S. consulate in Libya and 'secretly' used it in reporting ; Obama Went to Bed While Consulate was Under Siege ; CNN Hid Knowledge of Libya Ambassador Diary For Days ; Report: State Dept Left Consulate Unsecured Days After Ambassador Murder ; Prior attacks on the embassy...Flashback: Bomb targets U.S. mission in Libya's Benghazi ; US Consulate in Libya Bombed Twice in Run-Up to 9/11 Attack, Ambassador Known Target (+video) ; Obama to UN: It's Not My Fault Stevens is Dead ; Obama Administration Knew Libya Attack Was Terrorism Within 24 Hours ; Obama Administration Deleted State Dept. Memo From Internet After Discovering Al-Qaeda Was Behind Benghazi Attack ; Christopher Stevens, U.S. ambassador to Libya, dead body. No bruises on face.; Despite looting of the embassy and the loss of sensitive documents, CNN finds Stevens' diary. ; Benghazi: The Unanswered Question- what lapses on the part of the Obama/Clinton State Department made his murder sickeningly easy?; In Libya, Security Was Lax Before Attack That Killed U.S. Ambassador, Officials Say ; Did the White House order a cover-up over the murder of Libya's US Ambassador? ; Report: Obama Admin Rejected Military Intervention in Benghazi During Attack ; Benghazigate: Obama Chose Not to Save Ambassador Stevens' Life
Hopefully they will come. Surely someone has some self respect left in this adminstration.
The Weather Underground made the mistake of using domestic terrorist to carry out the terrorist attacks in association with the civil unrest. The attacks were treated as a criminal matter and the civil unrest was handled mostly by the governors of the state calling out the national guard.
With an act of war, federal troops will be in the streets following orders from the president.
If the left is in power they will use this method to gain more power. If the right is in power the left will use this method to claim the government is becoming a dictatorship.
Notice how fast the left was to claim Bush was becoming a dictator after the first 9/11.
Yes, those guys along with unions, ACORN/Working neighbors or whatever they call themselves now, and the occupiers. It's why they've closed a blind eye to immigration in the west when they knowingly permitted the entry of Salafist assassins. Van Jones, community organizers as a whole, taught the other groups.
What happened in Arab Spring consisted of similar groups. Egypt had the Ultras...football fan club members in the thousands. Libya released prisoners who were jailed by Qaddafi for terrorism. These socalled ex-terrorists became the "revolutionaries" or "freedom fighters". They're now used as security for traffic control, hospitals, banks...since there's been a void after Qaddafi. One of the groups. Feb17 Martyre Brigade, "guarded" the Embassy.
I have no doubt there'll be class warfare, racial, unfairness, have and have nots, riots in this country.
"It was not an accident. I think they are setting up the US homeland for attack, too."
THIS is exactly what I am afraid of. Hence all the "peacdful" mosques all over this country. Spread out so that they can come out of the woodwork when given the signal. Well... every time I see one of those IGNORANT coexist bumper stickers I could just scream - IDIOTS! Keep your head in the darkness.
Did you also know that Stevens requested a DC-3 for his use and THAT was also denied? I still smell a rat here and it's name is Valerie Jarrett. Don't call me a tin-foil nutcase. She is evil, she has connections directly to the Muslim Brotherhood - and that is who is taking over the entire Mid-East. You think this isn't true? Guess again.
"State Department" = The evil witch, HITLLARY..., bot by the ... enemy...
The map is a good one but I wish that someone would make a more current one. I have been looking for one.
That map has a 2003 date on it.
It is really beginning to look like BO and Hillary set this up. If we, the average people out here can see this, why can't the people in charge. They can't get away with this if it's true. Seems pretty obvious to me though.
dominoes are toppling ... ping
ABOLUTELY. They were in Benghazi, were hustled off to an airport at HIGH speed, flown to Tripoli, then out of the country. WHO did this, what were they doing there and who flew them out and left Stevens to die? What capacity were the 2 exNavy Seals and the 4th man. All dead. Were they CIA?
So he asked for a DC-3?
Nothing like choosing a 1930 vintage transport plane for an escape vehicle!
The military version was the C-47. Paratroop and military carry-all.
Me doubts that was what he asked for.....
That map has a 2003 date on it.
I agree. I've had this one for about 8 years. Don't know where there's a current one. The FBI should know.
More and more it is looking like the 0bama regime set up Stevens for assassination!
How about this? The consulate was attacked and then the attackers, who had an extreme advantage on the consulate personnel and security, allowed the consulate personnel to escape to the annex (safe house) where they were attacked again (and most again escaped) providing cover for other operatives to ransack both facilities and recover sensitive files on CIA/spec ops missions?
That is now being recognized as an intel loss that puts operations and operatives in danger for years to come. Stevens was in the wrong place at the wrong time and died of smoke inhalation or he would have escaped along with the other 30 consulate personnel.
I doubt the attackers could have known from their positions outside where any specific individual was inside. Stevens' body wasn't brought out of the building until 2-3 hours after the attack. I have heard nothing to indicate that Stevens' death was a particularly important coup for Al-Qaeda but that intel grab is huge.
If Stevens was indeed gay, did he have some 'dirt' on 0bama that caused him to be silenced? First-hand experience, so to speak?
I saw that "DC-3" and am aware that it's a dog, older than the hills. It was in print inbedded in an e-mail obtained from State that was being discussed on FOX last night. The e-mail was printed out and being waved at the camera, but a close up clearly said DC-3.
Also,this Quoted from an ABC report:
the State Department denied a request by the security team at the U.S. Embassy in Libya for continued use of a DC-3 plane earlier this year.
The aircraft had been deployed to Iraq before being moved to Libya. When commercial flights were resumed to Tripoli and Benghazi, the aircraft was moved back to other State Department business.
Although quite obsolete (since it is based on a 1930s concept), the turboprop is quite effective because it is extremely efficient, reliable, requires little ground support and can operate also from unpaved runways."
Disgusting........ totally Disgusting. Think about this. This old DC-3 is a taildragger denied for safety, but Mooch gets her constant separate trips with the pooch, BO on even a private plane, at some times. Hussein's Priorities, folks, priorities.

... Will you post detailed/printable plans of your work once you are finished ... ... Is your model a replica of the manufactured one that you posted ealier? IE: Is it the same design in principle? Will you put a finish (paint, laquer, powder coat, etc) on the steel ...
15" usable width. Gap is adjustable, about 3/4" down to 0. I cut a sheet pan in half and got the dough exit side fitted tonight.
What was the final cost to build this little jem? Where did you buy the sprockets and the chain?
....Now for the 64K question... does it make rolling out the dough any easier than using a simple rolling pin? ....
Is it difficult to feed the dough into the rollers at the same time you're turning the crank?
No, I make the kids do it.
I'm a bit of a gear head, that really is great work! Well done!

Norma,I know this method is used for raw flour, but I am not entirely sure that this method would work once the gluten molecule has been formed. The two molecules are covalently joined by a disulphide bridge, which typically needs an enzyme or a low pH to break the bond. If you would like, I can review the literature tonight to see if their is a feasible and observable method for extracting the two subunits once the molecule has been formed. Otherwise, given the weight of the gluten mass, assuming it is 100% pure gluten, I could calculate the molecular weights of both subunits and apply it to your recorded weight to give you a crude idea of how much glutenin and gliadin are in your gluten masses.
Norma,Thank you for doing the gluten mass test on the Occident flour. I have added the gluten data on that flour to the Master list as updated below. Can you confirm that the Occident flour you have is bleached and bromated and, by any chance did you weigh the Occident gluten mass in grams also? As noted below, the Occident and KABF numbers are running neck in neck as they approach the finish line. With respect to the Pillsbury bread flour and the King Arthur cake flour, I would be curious to know their respective gluten mass values. We do have some members who use the Pillsbury bread flour (it is also the one that Tom Lehmann regularly recommends), and it would be interesting to see how much gluten is in cake flour in relation to the values given above. I will leave to you to decide if you want to do gluten mass tests on those two flours. Peter
Norma,Well, after an extensive search I have good news and bad news. While it is possible to isolate the concentration of the glutenin and gliadin from your wet gluten mass, if would not be financial feasible for you to pursue this route any further. B/c both molecules are water soluble in isolation, you would need a mass spectrometer to isolate the precise quantities of both glutenin and gliadin contained in your gluten mass. I know at KUMC it costs myself close to $400 per sample to run something through the machine and brand new machines cost $50,000.00 and up to $400,00.00. Sorry
Norma,Thank you for conducting the gluten mass test on the Pillsbury bread flour. Was it the Pillsbury Best bread flour as shown at http://www.pillsburybaking.com/products/details/719? If so, that is the first bread flour whose gluten content falls in with all-purpose flour instead of bread flour. As is often the case with supermarket flours, it is hard to get solid information on the Pillsbury bread flour. There is some information provided in the Nutrition Facts, but with rounding factors it is hard to get accurate numbers. Pillsbury at the supermarket level is now owned by J.M. Smucker (General Mills sells Pillsbury branded flours to professionals). I may try to see if I can more information from Smucker. Also, can you tell me whether the Pillsbury bread flour you have is bleached? The Smucker website for the Pillsbury flour notes only the all-purpose flour as being unbleached.Peter
Norma,After I posted, I recalled that at one time I purchased a bag of the Pillsbury Best bread flour. I couldn't remember what happened to it, so I checked my pantry. There, in the back, completely hidden behind other things, was a 3-year old bag of Pillsbury Best bread flour in a sealed plastic storage container. The first thing I did was to check the bag to see if the word bleached was on it. I did not find it. So, that is something that remains to be checked.I decided to discard the flour but out of curiosity I decided to make a 9-ounce dough ball and to do a gluten mass test on it. I wanted to see the effects of long aging on the quantity and quality of the gluten mass. So, I conducted the gluten mass test. I could tell fairly soon in the process that the quality of the gluten mass was sub-par. Pieces of the gluten mass wanted to break off, and I had to struggle to keep the gluten mass intact. In fact, some pieces did break off but since I was working over a sieve, I caught the straggler pieces that broke off and reincorporated them into the main body of gluten. After 15 minutes, I weighed the gluten mass. It weighed 58.6 grams, or 2.07 grams. That value almost did not make the Master list we created. The above test seems to suggest that aging of flour is not the best thing for either the quantity or quality of gluten. My case was perhaps an aggravated one since a flour held for three years in a Texas heat environment has to be a harsh thing for a flour to endure without penalty. I am glad I did the test if only to know the consequences of aging a flour over a long period of time.As far as the remains of your alcohol test are concerned, I do not see any reason to keep them. Peter
Do you think after the long while that the last gluten mass test was left in the isopropyl alcohol, it did really separate the gliadin and glutenlin, or do you think the gluten mass just degraded? I am just curious about if the isopropyl alcohol really can separate the gliadin from the glutelin or if something else was going on.
Norma,Thank you for conducting the gluten mass test on the King Arthur cake flour. That is the flour that King Arthur sells under the name Queen Guinevere (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/king-arthur-queen-guinevere-cake-flour-3-lb). I have updated the gluten Master list below to include the gluten mass numbers you came up with in your recent test. As you can see, the KA cake flour is at the bottom of the list, which is where it should be for the flours that are on the Master list. It's possible that it took you longer to conduct the gluten mass test because the KA cake flour contains more starch (carbohydrates) than regular flours used to make bread and pizza dough, as can be seen at http://www.kingarthurflour.com/professional/nutritional-analysis-bakery-flour.html. Also, the KA cake flour is bleached, which might possibly have some effect on how the gluten is separated out of the dough during the washing operation.I am familiar with the thefreshloaf.com list of protein percentages. If you look at the bottom of the list, you will see that that list came from November's Mixed Mass Percentage Calculator at http://foodsim.toastguard.com/ and was so acknowledged. If you don't mind doing a gluten mass test on the Ultragrain flour, I would be interested in seeing the results.Master Gluten Mass List (as of 4/13/12)KASL (King Arthur Sir Lancelot): 4.1 ounces, or 116.235 grams (14.2 +/- 0.2% protein)All Trumps (bromated, bleached): 3.81 ounces, or 108 grams (14.2 +/- 0.3% protein)Power (Pendleton): 3.8 ounces, or 107.73 grams (13.0 +/- 0.3% protein)Kyrol (bleached, bromated): 3.74 ounces, or 106 grams (13.8 +/- 0.3% protein)ADM Gigantic: 3.42 ounces, or 96.89 grams (14.0 +/- 0.3% protein)Occident (ConAgra): 2.7 ounces, or 76.55 grams (12.4% protein)KABF (King Arthur Bread Flour): 2.68 ounces, or 75.978 grams (12.7 +/- 0.2% protein)Caputo 00 Rinforzato: 2.66 ounces, or 75.43 grams (12.5 +/- 0.5% protein)Caputo 00 Pizzeria: 2.54 ounces, or 72.12 grams (11.5-12.5% protein)Mondako (bleached, Pendleton): 2.354 ounces, or 66.75 grams (12.0 +/- 0.3% protein)Better for Bread (aka Harvest King): 2.306 ounces, or 65.3751 grams (12.0 +/- 0.3% protein)KAAP (King Arthur All-Purpose): 2.297 ounces, or 65.11995 grams (11.7 +/- 0.2% protein)Ceresota All-Purpose: 2.114 ounces, or 59.93 grams (12% protein)Caputo Extra/Blue 00: 2.06 ounces, or 58.38 grams (11 +/- 0.5% protein) (Note: expiration date of flour = 2010)King Arthur Guinevere Cake: 2.008 ounces, or 57.02 grams (7.0 +/- 0.2% protein)Peter

It was good to see Tom Neal again on the screen. This was a predictable 1945 film noir movie and how Hollywood used the cinema to promote an sell songs to the public, "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With ME." These were the songs with the lyrics that we still remember today. The continuing background music of I'm Always Chasing Rainbows." The mention of Carnegie Hall. The four block evening walk along a foggy Riverside Drive from 73rd to 77th Street in New York City. The depositing of 5 cents in a pay telephone to dial a 440 code to access a long distance operator which was required to place a call to California and then depositing an additional $1.00 in quarters to complete the charge of $1.05 cents to connect for a 3 minute call. The viewing of the inward operator's long lines plug boards, as the connection was transferred manually, from state to state by operators, was unique an enjoyable to see. These special effects should not be overlooked. Also notice all the non filtered cigarettes, as well as the Victory Buy War Bonds stamp on the empty cigarette pack jammed into the ash tray. I enjoyed this movie and trust that those who will view it will be made aware of the effort of these special effects. Bye the way, notice a young Janet Leigh as the waitress at the drive in restaurant. Thanks for posting this one.

Skip to comments.Climategate: the final nail in the coffin of 'Anthropogenic Global Warming'?
Posted on 11/20/2009 7:25:07 AM PST by Schnucki
If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglias Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: Watts Up With That)
When you read some of those files including 1079 emails and 72 documents you realise just why the boffins at Hadley CRU might have preferred to keep them confidential. As Andrew Bolt puts it, this scandal could well be the greatest in modern science. These alleged emails supposedly exchanged by some of the most prominent scientists pushing AGW theory suggest:
Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.
One of the alleged emails has a gentle gloat over the death in 2004 of John L Daly (one of the first climate change sceptics, founder of the Still Waiting For Greenhouse site), commenting:
In an odd way this is cheering news.
But perhaps the most damaging revelations the scientific equivalent of the Telegraphs MPs expenses scandal are those concerning the way Warmist scientists may variously have manipulated or suppressed evidence in order to support their cause.
Here are a few tasters. (So far, we can only refer to them as alleged emails because though Hadley CRUs director Phil Jones has confirmed the break-in to Ian Wishart at the Briefing Room he has yet to fess up to any specific contents.) But if genuine, they suggest dubious practices such as:
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.telegraph.co.uk ...
"Those damn observations don't match our predictions! Reality must be wrong."
These guys are loony.
Is the torrent download still active?
Yeah, and its coming down FAST!! Sweet.
Have you looked through the files? I've spent about 30 minutes and let me tell...they're freaking dynamite. DYN-O-MITE.
Everyone should download the files and go through them with a fine tooth comb. Here is a link to the torrent containing the data.
Everything is there. All the embarrassing stuff you'd find on any small office server in America. A photoshop, a lot of memos, some personal data...etc etc. But the best I've found so far is a pdf entitled "RulesOfTheGame.pdf"
Here is rule #17, no doubt authored by an Alinsky disciple.
"17. Use emotions and visuals
Another classic marketing rule: changing behaviour by
disseminating information doesnt always work, but emotions
and visuals usually do."
That's right...a manual describing how you should manipulate people's emotions. Good stuff.
Just a cursory look at what was released so far shows a couple of the people in these emails were some of the authors of the IPCC report.
We need real investigative journalism here to uncover the corruption and stench of criminality these scum have foisted upon us.
I'm sure the AP is assigning at least 11 "cracked" reporters to this right now. (;-)
Actually I expect to see this show up on Fox. Might take awhile for the impact to really sink in. I've downloaded the data. There is a lot of it and I'm betting that the leaker has more. In any case, it will take some time to really absorb it. Some may be computer modeling code (don't quote me) and, if so, that would be very interesting to those who understand climate modeling.
Sorry, I must have been typing my post as you posted this, otherwise I wouldn't have repeated the link.
I'm seeding away right now, as are hundreds of others. If you have broadband you'll have it in a matter of minutes.
It is extraordinarily tempting for even a (generally) ethical person to twist or "mislay" data when he KNOWS something is TRUE.
We see this in cops and prosecutors who frame up a person they KNOW is guilty.
The temptation is no doubt even greater when there is a religious level of belief, when they see the conflict not between accurate and inaccurate, but between Good and Evil.
Of course, scientists aren't supposed to look at issues in this way, since when they do they by definition stop being scientists.
Perhaps this story will eventually play out to show that scientists are also people, and are as prone to human failings as anyone else. So we shouldn't elevate a scientist's opinion that much above anybody else's.
Neat story.
It's not a hard story to tell; just a little long in the telling. Typical broadcast news won't have 23 seconds out of the 23 minute half hour show to work this. Maybe Rush or Hannity will.
These guys are apparently not computer geeks.
Emails never go away. One should never send an email you wouldn't be happy to have published on the front page of every newspaper.
Not that I've always followed this rule myself.
Here it is as a link: FOI2009.zip
I'm hoping it will still be active when I get home from work in 7 hours.
Not just active, but 200+ seeds.
Junk science ping
No go. Company firewall.
What will Al Gore do? Give that prize back he got in Sweden?
Wots a megabite?
But you can use BitTorrent?
The American media won't even mention this.
The website is busy but there is absolutely nothing going on at ClimateAudit.com. Steve McIntyre must be in heaven reading this stuff. I can't wait to see what he has to say once he has absorbed the data.

>Wots a megabite?
The British spelling of 'Megabyte,' I presume.
No. I was just asking if the link is still active. I have Vuze at home so I'll grab it there.
I'm actually presuming that all links to this file are going to be cratered by the time I get home.
It's like a smorgasbord, but much larger.
My problem with their forecasts has always been the models. I think if the models (in source) are revealed, we'll find that they are pretty simplistic in what is included and what is excluded....
The belief in man-caused global warming has become a religion. Scientific method doesn't matter.
How many of these scientists were involved with the UN IPCC report? Phil Jones and Michael Mann were authors, so they were in on it, I know it runs deeper than that.
What relationship did Al Gore have with these scientists and organizations? I bet a lot of them helped make An Inconvenient Truth.
How many polticians voted for cap n tax based on the IPCC report or data provided by one of these organizations or scientists?
Possibly. But uploading to sites like this is so easy these days that the files should be replicated all over the net and on usenet, probably within hours. But Vuze will work if it's fast enough.
Well, they'll have to knock me off the internet for me to stop seeding. So you'll be able to get it from me at least.
As an aside, I'm amazed by how many people in Finland are downloading/seeding the torrent.
Well that's confusing. What do they call megabits then?
Yeah, I posted that on another thread a little bit ago. I also thought it was noteworthy. It is amazingly bad, isn't it?
Good thing these professional scientists are so, erm, well, professional.
Easy. Megabyts.
But they had to save the planet from something....It's money.

Mobile Planet was an intensive one-week game design workshop for middle school-aged teens and tweens. In this program, teens learned about the systems, processes, and critters that play pivotal roles in the world of soil. Participants met Mark Bramstedt, Soil Scientist at the Natural Resource Conservation Service, and learned about the world just a few inches beneath our feet. In addition, students learned about game design and created game prototypes. The teens used their knowledge of soil systems and game design to create an educational augmented reality game on soil for the ARIS platform. This program is a collaboration with The Pearson Foundation's New Learning Institute.

Dropping a radio tower
quick loading
crazy hi-def
Crews safely brought down the radio tower on Dibble Road near Wright State University Lake Campus on Tuesday afternoon. Built in 1978, the 427 foot tall tower held antennas for radio station WCSM 96.7 FM, and a repeater for Dayton PBS channel 16, WPBD. Prior to demolition, the antennas for these stations were moved to the newly constructed MARCS tower 1300 feet to the West. A
previous video
on dailystandard.com chronicled the construction of that tower by helicopter. Prior to today, the old tower was held vertical by multiple guy wires running in each of three directions. To bring down the tower, a circular saw severed the base of the western guy wires, while a pick-up truck pulled East on a rope attacked part way up the tower. Earlier in the day, overhead utility wires along Dibble Road were lowered to the ground so the Western guy wires could drag through the field while the tower fell.

Mr. Speaker, Corporal Robert Read, a 26 year RCMP veteran, is being fired from his job tomorrow for blowing the whistle after he found evidence of suspected wrongdoing related to serious security breaches, infiltration of the immigration computer system, corruption, fraud, bribes, abuse and cover-up in Canada's foreign office in Hong Kong.
He reported it to his superiors who shut down the investigation and attempted to cover it up. Then he reported it to the RCMP ethics commissioner, the public complaints commission and the auditor general. After five years the issue was still not addressed so he reported it to the media.
The auditor general's 2000 report confirmed that proper security controls do not exist at Canada's foreign posts.
The Liberals have not only failed to keep their election promises of legislating a mechanism for whistleblowers and offering impartial hearings but they have punished whistleblowers one after the other.
We know the solicitor general will not award a medal to Corporal Robert Read but will he at least ensure that this whistleblower will not be fired so that the wrong message will not be sent to potential whistleblowers?

Yvon Charbonneau Anjou—Rivière-Des-Prairies, QC
Mr. Speaker, on April 9 I had the pleasure of announcing on behalf of my colleague, the Secretary of State responsible for Canada Economic Development, the renewal of a three year agreement which will enable Montreal to enhances its international profile even more.
The funding agreement between Economic Development Canada and Tourisme Montréal totals over $5.2 million. It will be used to raise the profile of Montreal on the international market, via publicity and promotional activities, greater use of the new information technologies, to attract more business tourism and to continue the development of pleasure tourism.
Tourism is an industry with indisputable effects on the economy of Quebec and of Canada.
This is just one more example of our government's actions to make Canada and Montreal top tourist attractions.

Mr. Speaker, I draw the attention of members of the House to a special event taking place in which young people all across Canada can participate. I am speaking of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's Name The Foal contest which is currently underway this year for a batch of new RCMP foals.
The RCMP and the musical ride horses are a source of immense pride for Canadians, and Canada's national police force is asking for help from children across Canada to name six foals that will be born this spring at the RCMP breeding farm in Pakenham, Ontario. Some of these young horses may one day be part of the world famous RCMP musical ride, and this is a special opportunity for young Canadians to play a part in naming them. Entries must be received before May 31, and online entry forms and other information can be found at the RCMP's website.
I ask that all members join with me in encouraging young people across our country to enter the contest and take great pride in one of our important national symbols, the RCMP, and its famous musical ride.
International Criminal Court

David Pratt Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, the atrocities and human rights abuses I witnessed in Sierra Leone have led me to the firm conclusion that there can be no peace without justice.
Consequently, I am very pleased and honoured to inform the House that earlier today the cause of justice and human rights took a major step forward with the 60th ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. This means the ICC will enter into force on July 1 of this year, Canada Day. The date is perhaps very fitting since Canada was the first country to pass comprehensive legislation to implement our obligations under the Rome Statute and we have long been a world leader on the ICC.
Most importantly, the ICC will end impunity for unspeakable evils such as genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Therein lies the profound significance of today's ratification.
I invite the House to join me in congratulating all those who have worked so hard toward making the ICC a reality.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the generosity and compassion of the University of Alberta Faculty of Dentistry and students from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.
On April 6 I had the privilege to attend "Open Wide", a one day dental clinic supplying free basic dental care to those unable to afford it. The treatment took place in the dental clinic in the department of dentistry at the University of Alberta. In order to target those most in need of care, patients were booked by public health clinics and aid giving agencies especially those working with new immigrants.
Between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. dental services were provided to nearly 500 people by approximately 300 volunteers. That is over $65,000 worth of dental care provided free through the hard work of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
I ask all members of the House to join me and the people of Edmonton in thanking Dr. Raborn, the Dean of Dentistry, along with the faculty, staff, students and professionals who donated their time and resources for their neighbours in need.

The main purpose of this competition is to honour the spirit of entrepreneurship among the business people of Beauport and Côte-de-Beaupré .
There were awards in six categories: retail, industrial, startup business, service, tourism and job creation.

Mr. Speaker, on April 1, a 28 year old woman from Jonquière, Catherine Bergeron, did the best deed that can be done: she saved a life.
Brothers Frédérick and Karl Jobin were driving on Université boulevard in Chicoutimi, when their car dove 150 feet into the Langevin River. Catherine Bergeron happened to be walking along the banks of the river and helped Frédérick Jobin, who was trapped in his car, which was quickly sinking into the river. In the end, she was able to free him.
Catherine Bergeron demonstrated great courage that cold spring afternoon, and did not hesitate to put her life in danger to save another.
Catherine Bergeron deserves official recognition from the different levels of government, who must commend her act of bravery and her selflessness.

Mr. Speaker, Canada, Prince Edward Island and the House of Commons are extremely proud of our Canadian Junior Ladies Curling champions, the Suzanne Gaudet rink of Summerside, P.E.I.
Twice Canadian champions, once gold medallists and now bronze medallists at the worlds, the Gaudet rink is one of the most successful junior curling rinks in the history of Canadian curling.
I want to congratulate once again the rink members, skip Suzanne Gaudet, third Robyn MacPhee, second Carol Webb, lead Kelly Higgins, alternate Shelley Nichols and coach Paul Power. I and all Islanders are very proud of their accomplishments.
The rink members will be honoured this Sunday afternoon, April 21, by the city of Summerside where they will accept their much deserved tributes for their athletic prowess, their exemplary conduct whether they won or lost, and for being superb ambassadors for Canada and for P.E.I.

Bob Mills Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, the government's Kyoto campaign continues today in Calgary where the environment minister is delivering his well rehearsed chicken little, sky is falling speech.
It appears however that he does not want to risk any true dialogue with Albertans on the issue. He is speaking in a room so small that it will only hold 40 people and only invited guests may attend. One has to wonder how the government will arrange the upcoming public consultations and whether it will be the same sort of sham.
Also, the government has not made clear to the public that clean air is not the purpose of Kyoto. There are many much less expensive ways to clean our air, reduce smog and cut back on acid rain than a flawed greenhouse gas treaty.
As has happened with the minister's ridiculous cross Canada tour, the government continues to suppress information and dialogue which could easily yield far better solutions to our environmental problems than the Kyoto accord.

Mr. Speaker, on April 17 we will celebrate the 20th birthday of the charter of rights and freedoms. The Globe and Mail reports that since coming into force the charter has had a profound effect on Canadian lives and ranks as former Prime Minister Trudeau's greatest legacy.
A public opinion survey shows the charter is popular in all parts of Canada including Quebec, and with all age groups. The charter protects individuals as well as groups of citizens. Former Chief Justice Antonio Lamer said it is there to protect the innocent. Groups such as aboriginals have benefited in many ways. In addition, governments now have to respect charter rights when they write legislation as in the case of the Anti-terrorism Act.
The charter is an evolving document described by Justice Iacobucci as a work in progress. As such, the charter will be useful as we write new laws regulating new technologies and the human condition.

Mr. Speaker, today the Canadian HIV-AIDS Legal Network released a significant report on establishing safe injection facilities in Canada.
I applaud the report because it powerfully outlines the ongoing public health crisis in injection drug use and the need to follow the successful models developed in Europe and Australia to make safe injection sites part of a comprehensive approach to improving the health of drug users and the community as a whole.
In the downtown east side the death toll continues to rise because simple, effective life saving measures like safe injection sites have not been allowed. This landmark report calls on the federal government to create a regulatory framework to govern safe injection facilities. It also calls on the Minister of Health to grant ministerial exemptions to allow facilities on a trial basis.
This Sunday at First United Church, right at the epicentre of this health epidemic, a demonstration site will be set up for a week. I implore the Minister of Health to show leadership and support the report and the community advocates who are displaying such courage in working for these critically needed health measures.

Mr. Speaker, during the last federal election campaign, Liberal candidates made promise after promise to assist development in the region of the Gaspé Peninsula and the Magdalen Islands.
A year and half later, people in the region are still waiting. The Liberal member from Bonaventure--Gaspé--Îles-de-la-Madeleine--Pabok has a bad record and, like his government's record, it borders on the ridiculous.
The socioeconomic situation in the region is worsening. People are leaving in droves and time is ticking away without any action on the part of the Liberal government. To put it simply, because of the federal government, Forillon is expanding, as the Gaspé saying goes.
According to the group l'Action des patriotes gaspésiens on its website, the Liberal member from the Gaspé peninsula has done nothing for the region, that is right, zero. He ran as a hero; 18 months later, he has gone to zero.
This Gaspé organization's website also makes reference to the former minister responsible for Quebec. The fast-track promised at election time quickly became a slow-track. That is what Liberal promises add up to.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to pay tribute to the excellent work done in Bosnia-Herzegovina by the members of the battle group from the 3rd Battalion of the Royal 22nd Regiment during rotation 9 of Operation Palladium.
Supported by a reconnaissance squadron from the 12th Armoured Regiment of Canada, a battery from the 5th Regiment Light Artillery of Canada, the 52nd squadron of the 5 Combat Engineer Regiment, a helicopter detachment and an electronic warfare troop, the battle group's mission was to maintain a climate of security and stability for the local population by ensuring that the belligerent armies respected the military provisions of the Dayton accords.
Our troops helped to create a safe environment for the development of peace and stability in an area of operation 30% larger than Prince Edward Island. Other members of the 22nd Regiment, the battle group of the 2nd battalion, are already at work in Bosnia as part of rotation 10.
The professionalism, courage and dedication of our troops in Bosnia-Herzegovina is a credit to their units, the Canadian Forces—

Mr. Speaker, there is action that Canada can take to help stop the violence in the Middle East. One of the things we can do is press to have the United Nations Refugee Working Group reinstated to deal with the hopelessness of the Palestinian refugees. If we are to stop the suicide bombers and the terrorist acts we must address the frustration and hopelessness in the camps.
As chair of the United Nations Refugee Working Group, Canada is in a unique position to lead an international group of representatives which could provide some relief. We must do everything we can to convince the countries involved to reinstate the United Nations Refugee Working Group as one tool to stop the violence in the Middle East.

Yes, the Power Flour, I want to see how it stacks up to Central Milling. Can you get it in a smaller bag? I'm relatively certain it should stack up very well, but I'd hate to see it underperform- and for you to be stuck with a 50# bag.
I would have to agree with Scott, you certainly are dominating this style in your wfo!
I wish I had access to a bromated flour just to satisfy my curiosity.
For some reason I thought all Californians were deathly afraid of bromate If you're curious, I probably won't be picking up a new bag until Fall, but I might be able to mail you a couple pounds when the time comes.
Hmmm... interesting. It looks like the malt in the Power Flour really pushed the browning propensity- which may not be a bad thing. It's a bit more color than what I strive for, but I know of a few New Havenites that would be doing back flips.When you blow up the photo of the pepperoni pie to full size, the cheese has me instantly salivating. That could be some of the best looking melted cheese I've ever seen.What did you think of it? You had to be pretty happy, right? A pie like that could end up challenging your Neapolitan allegiance
Marlon,simply beautiful looking pies, that's exactly what I'm trying to get my pies to look like, dang those look good.What kind of launching peel do you use? I currently can only make a 13 inch pizza, but I really want to get to an 18, is that what your pies are?Do you ever use IDY? If not, whyThank you,Vince
Marlon, so are you building your pies on the peel? I'm looking to get a bigger maybe the metal one just not sure yet.
The Power flour performs really well with this style. I am very impressed with the results. It has a nice balance of tenderness and crispness. It also keep really well with no toughness. It should be a regular in my pantry. I used the same formula as with Central Milling baked for about 3:45-4 mins @ 650F.
bakeshack, if I were to make some 18" NY style pies in a WFO, I'd model them after yours. In my eye, those leave very little to be desired. (maybe just a sprinkle of marjoram ).
Marlon,All I can say is wow! beautiful looking pies. What was the bake temp/time for these pies? do you prefer Power Flour over the All Trumps for NY style pies?

The link posted by c0mpl3x is the same mixer (except mine doesn't have that fancy "Lost In Space" paint job). I am mainly asking to see if any one here has heard of them before or has any info on the company that made them. Google isn't my friend this time, I can't seem to dredge up very much.Thanks for looking

Features & Benefits
Exceptional power-to-size ratio
Wide and even horizontal coverage pattern
Very small footprint keeps a low profile appearance
Seamless integration with MICA
QuickFly rigging with captive GuideALinks simplifies use in flown or groundstacked arrays, alone or with 500-HP,
600-HP subwoofers
Cardiod arrays when used in combination with 500-HP subwoofers
Corporate AV
Small theatres
Houses of worship
Downfill or sidefill for systems using MICA
Under-balcony coverage
Sometimes, big things come in small packages. The M'elodie ultracompact high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker is a good example. M'elodie is Meyer Sound's newest generation of a strong family line: the celebrated M Series. M'elodie brings the sonic signature and easy to use rigging of the MILO family of loudspeakers, along with an extraordinary power-to-size ratio to a package smaller than the company's MICA compact high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker. As a result, M'elodie is compact enough for small theatres, ballrooms and clubs, as well as being an outstanding performer in theatrical productions and corporate AV applications.
M'elodie can be used as a main system in small venues in combination with 500-HP subwoofers which enhance the low-frequency response and increase the overall acoustic power of the system in the lowest frequencies. In addition the 500-HP can be used to create cardiod arrays. M'elodie versatility does not stop there, its broad 100-degree horizontal coverage makes it ideal for use in larger venues, too, as it is designed to integrate seamlessly with MICA. M'elodie's QuickFly rigging, which features captive GuideALinks for the maximum in flexibility and safety, make it easy to add as downfill to a MICA array, but individual M'elodie cabinets also work exceptionally well for frontfill or under-balcony coverage. Best of all, M'elodie's small footprint takes up little truck space.
M'elodie is the latest self-powered loudspeaker from Meyer Sound, the company that introduced controller-assisted loudspeakers more than 30 years ago and self-powered sound reinforcement systems over 11 years ago. With an all-new low-frequency driver and amplifier, plus Meyer Sound's famous complex crossover, driver protection, and frequency and phase correction circuitry, M'elodie provides a reliable, low-distortion solution for a key segment of the sound reinforcement market.
M'elodie's diminutive size belies a powerful voice: conservatively rated at a maximum peak output of 131 dB SPL, M'elodie is capable of filling rooms much larger than one would expect.

o haseena, o neelampari, kar gayi kaisi jaadugari
neend in aankhon se cheen li hai, dil mein bechainiya hai bhari
main bechara hoon awaraa bolo samjahon main yeh ab kis kis ko
dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco, dard-e-disco, dard-e-disco
There....I hope it is out of my system and into yours. Blasted song.
I have no idea which promos are doing the rounds on my favourite channel Zoom (Issko Dekho) these days, thanks to my son who is not supposed to watch TV and tries very, very hard to. However, that does not mean that I am out of the Bollywood scene. I have been religiously listening to all the latesht numbers on Radio Mirchi every single morning and I can bet you a dabba of Cerelac that I can sing any new release pretty much the whole way through.
I need to get a life.
Are you humming the song yet? No, no, no hurry...just checking. I am pretty sure it will be flowing in your bloodstream before the day is out. You're welcome.
And now to the episode to which this post owes its title.
We are the kind of neighbours that you are neither pleased nor pissed to have, for the simple reason that we are hardly ever seen. Pre-Adi, both of us were working round the clock and we were never around to make small talk with anyone. Sure, we would smile at people if we ran into them in the lift...its just that we could never be sure that the people we were smiling at were indeed inhabitants of the same building complex or just some food delivery guys. However, when Adi was born, my mom insisted that we send out sweets to everyone. I am not one to share dessert with anyone at the best of times...but mom was rather adamant. So sweets were sent and lo and behold, from that evening itself, we started getting a steady stream of visitors. Very sweet, we thought (precisely, I am thinking now). Almost everyone asked us if we were new to the building and looked aghast when we told them that we were probably renting out the flat before they did.
Anyway, this period of unnatural social activity soon drew to a close. We continued to smile at people. Now and then, I would find a somewhat familiar face and break out my widest grin. That would only bring out comments like, "Sooooo, small baby at home and enjoying life, eh?" Anyone who goes to the gym knows that it is not for enjoyment that one lifts weights....but I let it pass.
This morning, Kalpana, our cook, came in looking quite excited. She burst into the house and happily informed me, "Didi, panchve maale par koi off ho gaya."
Kalpana needs a life too.
I asked her who had passed away. Jharna Bhabhi's father, she replied and carried on with the task of making inedible aloo-methi.
M was getting ready to go to work. I asked him to go and offer condolences to Jharna Bhabhi and her family.
"I am running late, baby. I will come back and do it in the evening."
Hmmpphh. Here I was, bursting with neighbourly warmth and he wanted to delay it till the evening. I would do it on my own. I am sure that you recall that whenever I use that phrase, it is followed by a disaster of reasonable proportions.
True enough. I went to the fifth floor. Everyone looked familiar. Sort of. Oooh, so that guy is not a driver after all. He is sitting with the rest of the men-folk. Anyway...work to do...
No one came up to me so I boldly walked into the house. In the kitchen, I saw two women. I remembered that both of them had come to my house to see Adi but for the life of me, I could not remember their names. Anyway, I had not come to see them. I was there to see Jharna.
"Hello! Um, where is Jharna."
Looks at me strangely.
"I AM Jharna. I had come to your house to see Aditya. How is Sainath (Mahesh)? Is he travelling a lot? And has your mother gone back to Delhi?"
Woo, off to a bad start.
"Hey, look here. I am sorry for your loss. Was your father ill?"
The other woman (non-Jharna) looks at me and replies -
"It was not her father. It was our father-in-law. And yes, he was 90+ and ailing for some time."
OUR father-in-law....that could only mean...(furious mental calculation)...that
"We are sisters-in-law."
"Oh. Oh! I am sorry. I thought you just lived in the same building."
Looks at me icily.
"I do. I also live on the fifth floor. I had come to see you and Aditya with my daughter. How is he? He must be about six months now."
Holy-moly! I should have just quit at that point and just come home but no!no!no! this was the new neighbourly me, bursting with solidarity.
"I just met your husband outside. Tall,lanky guy with a moustache."
"That is our driver."
At that point, I just gave up and came downstairs to the familiarity of our own, warm apartment, which I shall not leave again, as long as I live.
Are you humming the song yet?

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, August 15, 2007 - In its first round of pool play, the U.S. Men's National Sitting Volleyball team swept Canada 25-17, 25-19, 25-12.
The team was led by captain Brent Rasmussen (Omaha, Neb.), Eric Duda (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Edmond, Okla.) and Edgar LaForest (San Juan, Puerto Rico), who each posted 11 points.
In the opening set, Canada recorded the first point but the U.S. quickly rebounded and with a score of 2-2, made a 6-0 run. Team USA then battled sluggish play and Canada began to fight back. Canada came within one point several times, but the U.S. managed to hold onto its lead and close out the set 25-17.
Starters included Rasmussen, Duda, LaForest, Bradley Johnson (Pompano Beach, Fla.), Chris Seilkop (Deland, Fla.) and Jose Zabala (Carolina, Puerto Rico).
"Nerves seemed to be the biggest issue with how we were playing," said Head Coach Bill Hamiter (Bethany, OK). "We (the coaches) kept trying to push them past that."
The second set was started by Rasmussen, Duda, LaForest, Seilkop, Zabala and Curtis Lease (Naperville, Ill.). The game was a nail biter with seven lead changes and nine ties posted. The U.S. trailed Canada 15-17 when Coach Hamiter inserted Josh Franklin (Tomball, Texas) in as server, which started a 5-0 run and energized the team allowing them to pull away and finish the set 25-19.
"We finally seemed to settle down and play smart ball," Hamiter said. "Josh did a great job. He knows he is our serving specialist and he has to go in there and produce immediately, which he did."
"I've got to do my job and score us points," Franklin said. "Once we start getting momentum, our confidence level goes up and we get more kills, which leads to points."
In the final set, the U.S. was ready to play, scored fast and early, and never looked back. With a score of 22-12, LaForest served the remainder of the set and closed out the match with a final score of 25-12. Overall, LaForest led the team in aces with three. LaForest also posted five kills and three blocks for a total of 11 points.
"I'm improving my serve and am happy all of the work is paying off, " said LaForest. "Between the second and third set we settled down and just came out and played our game."
Those starting in the final set included Johnson, LaForest, Rasmussen, Seilkop, Hugo Storer (Houston, Texas) and Roderick Green (Edmond, Okla.)
The U.S. (1-0) will continue pool play tomorrow against Costa Rica (0-1) who lost earlier in the day to Brazil.
"Costa Rica is an improved team. They played Brazil pretty tough in the first and second sets today," said Hamiter. "If we serve and pass well and get our errors under control, we will be fine. When you control the errors, you control the game."
The U.S. and Costa Rica will play at 9 a.m. (local time) on Thursday, Aug. 16 at Riocentro Convention Center Pavilion 3B.

OCZ Technology Group, on Monday announced it had acquired Sanrad, a privately held provider of flash caching and virtualization software and hardware. The takeover will allow OCZ to boost its portfolio of technologies for enterprise-class solid-state drives.
"This transaction is an important step in OCZ's enterprise solid state drive strategy. It significantly enhances the ability for customers to increase datacenter performance and efficiency by putting more virtual machines (VM) on a server without slowing down the VM's ability to access stored data, thus substantially lowering the overall cost of deployment," said Ryan Petersen, chief executive officer of OCZ Technology Group.
Sanrad transforms storage access in virtualized environments with NAND flash. Its technology allows data centers to fully leverage their flash based storage investments, extending the lifespan of the storage infrastructure and maximizing efficiency. Virtualized data centers gain the benefits of NAND flash performance while retaining the key benefits of server virtualization such as vMotion, high availability, and disaster recovery.
Sanrad's virtualization software and solutions are VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix certified and are expected to accelerate the adoption of OCZ's PCIe-based flash storage solutions in virtualized environments.
Sanrad's VXL software delivers Sanrad's flash caching and virtualization technology for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix Xen into server virtualization platforms. VXL software enables efficient dynamic distribution of host-based flash resources to guest virtual machines via its application optimized cache engine. The VXL SCSI connectivity enables support of most modern operating systems including all variants of Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris and Linux servers.
VXL supports key enterprise-class storage datacenter requirements such as QoS, high availability clustering, mirroring, WAN replication, snapshots and multiple storage virtualization functions. VXL guarantees complete cache migration via vMotion, as cached data is treated as a virtualized storage entity and can be dynamically migrated between ESX servers along with the virtual volumes without performance loss and without powering down the server, interrupting service of the VM's.
Sanrad's StoragePro software provides comprehensive remote storage management and virtualization services and ensures simple, efficient use of storage resources for numerous connected servers. Its open, heterogeneous system architecture provides complete storage flexibility, enabling IT managers to manage a single virtual pool of storage which is critical in today's enterprise environments.
"Sanrad's VXL has the ability to optimize caching strategies based on the application and support for VMWare's vMotion, which sets the solution apart from others in the industry, allowing enterprises to finally realize the benefit of running a single unified virtualized environment," concluded Mr. Petersen.
Sanrad was founded in 2000 and its R&D center is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. Sanrad currently sells its line of flash caching and virtualization software and hardware to storage and networking OEMs such as Nexsan and Brocade as well as directly to the enterprise through its network of value added resellers.
The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was $15 million comprised of approximately 2.1 million shares of OCZ common stock that was issued on closing.

About the Authors: Rachel Kastenberg serves as a Senior Advisor for the Secretary of State's Global Partnerships Initiative, and Justin Sosne serves as a Senior Advisor in the Secretary of State's Office of Global Women's Issues.
Most of us in the United States don't think twice when we turn on a light to work late into the night or cook dinner without inhaling dangerous smoke. Yet, these everyday tasks are still out of reach for the estimated 1.3 billion people around the world who lack access to electricity, and the estimated 2.7 billion people without access to clean cooking facilities -- 95 percent of whom are in either sub-Saharan Africa or Asia.
During Women's History Month, it's important to note that women are central to unlocking solutions to the climate change and energy challenges we face. In off-grid communities across the world, women are the primary users of small-scale clean technologies like solar lamps and clean cookstoves. They are at the forefront of increasing technology adoption rates. Women and women's groups, particularly in remote, rural areas, represent largely untapped distribution networks that can help fill the "last mile" gap in the supply chain (connecting a product or service to its end customer). For these reasons, women are in a strong position to sell and distribute small-scale clean technologies.
Directly integrating women into the energy access value chain is not only critical to increasing energy access, but also to economic growth. Investing in women produces a ripple effect that continues into future generations. Research from private firms, the United Nations, World Bank and other sources shows that women use their incomes to create a multiplier effect in local communities because they disproportionately spend more of their earned income on improving the well-being of their families and children. Research also shows that women-owned small and growing businesses are, and will continue to be, a critical driver of economic growth.
To support women entrepreneurs and increased energy access for all, the Office of the Special Envoy for Climate Change and Office of Global Women's Issues at the U.S. Department of State have teamed up with USAID, the MacArthur Foundation, the Wangari Maathai Institute for Peace and Environmental Studies, CARE International, Solar Sister, the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, and Swayam Shikshan Prayog (SSP) to form an exciting new public-private partnership called wPOWER (Partnership on Women's Entrepreneurship in Renewables).
This effort currently aims to empower more than 7,000 women clean energy entrepreneurs across India, Nigeria and East Africa to launch small businesses around small-scale energy technologies, including solar lamps and clean cookstoves. wPOWER objectives include:
- Building Clean Technology Markets: Build and strengthen markets for small-scale clean technologies through linking women to economic opportunities and capacity building on energy access.
- Unlocking Women's Potential to Combat Climate Change and Increase Energy Access: Support innovative distribution models that directly integrate women into the energy access value chain, particularly through entrepreneurship opportunities related to "last mile" distribution for technologies such as solar lanterns and clean cookstoves.
- Building Public Awareness: Increase public awareness on the critical role of women in promoting clean energy and combating climate change.
- Building the Evidence Base: Improve data collection on the economic and environmental benefits of integrating women into the energy access value chain.
Through our collective efforts, we will empower marginalized women and communities to increase energy access, while also building local markets, growing economies, and improving livelihoods. Investing in women clean energy entrepreneurs now will pay dividends for years to come.

I think it would be a useful project.
Keshav S. in India writes:
Yes the women empowerment is very important if we want to build any nation which is crime free and the education is the main thing if all the women will get equal chance for getting educated then the whole crippling world can be made a world with no dark sides.
