Francisco Paco Perez, Governor of the Province of Mendoza (Argentina): Provincial interest to declare the 2nd Meeting of Educators for Nonviolence
Mendoza educators have more problems every day in their schools related to the physical, psychological, racial, sexual, religious and economic. Power strengthened in psychophysical techniques and a new pedagogy, it is essential to preserve a strengthened education system and prepare teachers for better learning conditions for children and young people of Mendoza. There is a 44% repetition or lack of promotion in secondary schools. Urgent action is needed at this time. So the Second Meeting of Educators for Nonviolence (19 Abril 2013) is a response of a Nonprofit Organization that is only supported by a Department (Municipality of Las Heras) and national government officials. The Governor must declare this second meeting of "Interest Provincial Government", so that teachers can attend. Da Vinci Foundation and the Provincial Council of Nonviolence in Education are promocinando this important campaign to support the thousands of Mendoza Teachers who are in a situation of economic crisis, social crisis and psychological crisis.

Rorschach Redemption & John Water's The Creeper. DC Comic Mashups.
Rorschach Redemption (Watchmen + Shawshank Redemption)
If the movie Shawshank Redemption was about Watchmen's Walter Kovac's (Rorschach's) time in prison and his interaction with his psychiatrist Malcolm Long.
John Waters directs and stars in The Creeper
I got this idea after watching the Saturday Night Live's digi short, The Creep . I think if John Waters were to make a super hero movie, Steve Ditko's The Creeper would be a tempting choice.
Both of these will be up for the "Design A DC Comics Movie Poster" over at Super Punch.

National Radiological Protection Board
The National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) was a public authority in the UK created by the Radiological Protection Act 1970. Its statutory functions were to conduct research on radiological protection and provide advice and information on the subject to Government Departments and others. It was also authorized to provide technical services and charge for them. Originally NRPB dealt only with ionizing radiation, but its functions were extended in 1974 to non-ionizing radiation.
The Board consisted of a chairman and a maximum of nine other members, later increased to twelve, all appointed by Health Ministers. Throughout its existence, NRPB had 300 members of staff on average. They were located at the headquarters in Chilton near Oxford and at laboratories in Leeds and Glasgow. The Department of Health funded the difference between the cost of NRPB and its income by annual grant.
Research on ionizing radiation included: plutonium exposure; internal dosimetry; radioactive discharges; nuclear accidents and wastes; radon hazards; medical x rays; epidemiology and molecular biology. Research on non-ionizing radiation included the physics and biology of exposure to ultraviolet sources, electricity supplies, and mobile phones.
As well as a full range of technical services - from personnel dosimetry to radiation surveys - NRPB also engaged in projects such as: the safe transport of radioactive materials; preparedness for nuclear emergencies; exposure to cosmic rays; optimization of protection; improved radiation instruments; training courses; a wide selection of publications.
Members of staff contributed to major public inquiries about the nuclear industry in the UK and supported the UK response to the Chernobyl disaster. They also participated in the work of the: International Commission on Radiological Protection; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection; United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation; Nuclear Energy Agency; various committees of the Commission of the European Communities.
The Health Protection Agency Act 2004 repealed the Radiological Protection Act. On 1 April 2005, NRPB became the Radiation Protection Division of the Health Protection Agency (HPA). Under the terms of the Health and Social Care Act 2012, the HPA was abolished, and responsibility for radiation protection functions was assigned to appropriate Government authorities in the UK.

Just got an actual 4.4 OTA update for my 2012 Nexus 7 Wifi. Check your devices if you haven't already.
..this thing is butter smooth..
I just got my 2012 Nexus 7 32GB today, and the first thing I did was fire up the update to 4.4. Of course as I was in the middle of that, I had to start working. It's going to be cool learning how this all works.....my first experience with pure Android.
Opt into the Nova Launcher beta via Google Plus and you can get a launcher with transparent nav bar and notification menu.
I've been checking 10 times a day, everyday, since last week on my GE HTC One. :(
Just got 4.3 the other day on my Australian Telstra HTC One.
No I'll stick with Sense thanks, I used Nova for a couple months got little out of it.
Huh, did anyone else just get a 9MB 4.4 OTA update on their Nexus 4?
I flashed my Nexus 4 via fastboot with the kitkat system image from Google, and for some reason, Google just downloaded and prompted me to install the update today.
Didn't break anything though, so I'm glad for that.
Same here. In the meantime though, I've updated to AOSP 4.4
Are those benchmarks really indicative of actual performance though?

For the most part, the characters are given more psychological dimenstion than the comic-strip cutouts engaged in Star Wars, and Galactica creator Larson has a deft knack for spaced-out humor... Expensive, ingeniously crafted and singularly fun-filled... - Harry F. Waters, Martin Kasindoff, Betsy Carter, Newsweek, September 11, 1978, pages 58-62.
I'm sure the purists blanch at these things, but all television has to be homogenized, so why shouldn't science fiction be? It's amazing that Battlestar Galactica looked as good as it did. - Tom Shales, The Best of Science Fiction Television, Harmony Books, 1987.
Campy, formulaic, and often as poorly written as the back of a cereal box, Battlestar Galactica was also immensely enjoyable, and few shows since have matched it for pure entertainment value. - Net Trek, 1995, page 311.
While boasting a charismatic cast and production values still unsurpassed by any sci-fi series today, Battlestar Galactica was undermined by repetitive and uninspired storylines... - Lawrence McIlhoney, TV Zone Special #17: "The Lost Voyagers of Cult TV," June 1995, page 7.
Battlestar was not thought-out particularly well before being rushed onto ABC, and the writing suffered from implausible and often inane plots that were filled with scientific inaccuracies. This is not to say that Galactica was a bad show. On the contrary, it had some interesting ideas, a capable cast, great special effects and top-notch sets and props. But such things are no substitute for a capable hand at the helm to keep a series steered in the right direction. - William E. Anchors, Jr., Epilog #33: "Battlestar Galactica," August 1993, page 5.
The galactic negotiations between the people and the Cylons really resembled the U.S.-Soviet SALT talks - not in their actual form but in the perverted interpretation of the enemies of the treaty from the family of Washington hawks... Their [Battlestar Galactica] inspiration is the pumping-up of military, anti-Soviet hysteria, which in this case is disguised in the modern costume of socio-scientific fanatasy... (A)nti-Soviet symbolism dressed in a transparent tunic of science fiction. - Melor Sturua, Izvestia.
Star Wars was fun and I enjoyed it. But Battlestar Galactica was Star Wars all over again and I couldn't enjoy it without amnesia. -Isaac Asimov, "Science Fiction is more than a Space-Age Western," Knight-Ridder Newspapers, Spetember 17, 1978.
Battlestar Galactica is a black hole of an epic. Aside from its many unpleasant qualities, it lacks what Star Trek was smart enough to develop: people... The old concept of portraying good (human) vs. bad (alien) no longer provides sufficient tension to keep a show alive and that is what Battlestar Galactica relies heaviest on. - Marvin Kitman, The New Leader, "Lost in Space," May 6, 1979, page 22.
A strange mix of the flight of the Israelites from Egypt, the Wagon Train teleseries and the views of Von Daeniken [sic] whose "God is an Astronaut" slogan the film literalizes... the superior special effects notwithstanding, make for a charmless clone of George Lucas' paen to the innocent delights of gee-whizz heroics. - Phil Hardy, The Film Encyclopedia: Science Fiction, William & Morrow Company, page 339.
This lumbering behemoth just doesn't work in any area but special effects. These are zippy and lots of fun, if wholly unscientific and unbelievable... The wholesale reshuffling of hoary old SF bromides, Egyptian mythology, World War II-type battle scenes and supercilious, unintentionally funny dialogue once again proves that the whole can be no better than the sum of its parts. - Douglas Menville and R. Reginal, Futurevision: The New Golden Age of the Science Fiction Film, Newcastle Publishing, 1985, page 66.
An immediate success, Battlestar clobbered the competition and seemed set for a long run. The battles in space, staged by special effects man John Dykstra, winner of an Academy Award for Star Wars, were the best ever to soar across a TV screen. But the scripts failed to keep pace, becoming increasingly juvenile, and viewers slowly lost interest... [A]n expensive failure. - Gene Wright, The Science Fiction Image, Facts-on-File Publications, 1983, page 42-43.
Perhaps the least likable of all TV SF in its ineptness, its cynicism, its sentimentality and its contempt for and ignorance of science. BG was devised by Glen Larson (who went on to do a similar job on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century) in the wake of the successful film Star Wars which it resembles closely in many respects. Space battles, the raison d'etre of BG, were carried out by planes apparently designed for flying in atmosphere, with fiery exhausts which, Larson is quoted as saying, "make Space more acceptable to the Midwest." The casting of Western star Lorne Greene as the patriarchal leader, Adama, emphasized the obvious subtext of wagon trains rolling west under constant attack by Indians. Other cast members were Dirk Benedict as Starbuck (ne' Solo), Richard Hatch as Apollo (ne' Skywalker), Maren Jensen as Athena and Noah Hathaway as the cute boy, Boxey, whose nauseating robot dog (ne' R2D2) may have been the low point. Ratings began well but soon fell off and since each episode cost three times as much as a conventional one-hour drama, the series was terminated ...The film (Saga Of A Star World) is poor. Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack is more cardboard still. - John Clute & Peter Nichols, The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, St. Martins Press, 1993, page 97.
Perhaps the most blatant rip-off ever to appear on the small screen. The show ripped off, naturally is Star Wars which Galactica copies in nearly everything but wit and talent. - Time, September 18, 1978, page 98.
Nine-tenths of the human race have been wiped out and the survivors are fleeing the enemy Cylons... [T]he premise here is even less honorable: "They're after us! Let's run like hell!" ... When the viewing audience began to realize that these people were not going to find a place to stand and fight back, they lost interest. Who can really care about a show that has cowardice as part of its basic format? - David Gerrold, Starlog, "Hope - The Human Challenge," September 1979, page 68.
Battlestar Galactica proved to be a resounding dud... The borrowing from Star Wars in every detail became so painfully obvious that not even the four-year-old minds for which the series apparently aimed could fail to notice the resemblance. - Harry and Michael Medved, The Golden Turkey Awards, Perigee Books, 1980, page 108.
...tiresome, totally unimaginative Biblical space opera... Battlestar Galactica was able to recreate the look but not the impact of Star Wars. - John Javna, The Best of Science Fiction Television, Harmony Books, 1987, page 84.
The origins of Battlestar Galactica lay only in a hustle for bucks... John Dykstra's special effects are wasted on a wholly mindless plot. - Frederick Pohl, Scientific Studies in Film, SF Ace Books, A Grosset & Dunlap Company, 1981, page 287.
There is no science background in the show whatsoever. Why don't Viper pilots wear pressurized suits when they fly? What good are those stupid-looking Egyptian helmets? What powers the battlestar and its Viper craft? ... How come they keep running into Earthlike planets out there in the vastness of galactic space? ... [A] million-dollar-an-hour disappointment. - Howard Zimmerman, editor, Starlog #19, O'Quinn Studios, Inc., February 1979.
The gimmick ... that the group of protagonists is fleeing not from Earth but to it - is one that has been utterly beaten to death by now (most notably by that deep space turkey Battlestar Galactica)... - Stephen King, Danse Macabre, Berkely Edition, December 1983, page 242.
This film, adapted from the television series, opens with the preparation for a peace treaty by President Adar (Lew Ayres). He has arranged to end a thousand years of war between mankind and the subhuman Cylons. Events go downhill from there. It's a seventh-rate Star Wars. (Turkey rating) Mick Martin & Marsha Porter Video Movie Guide 1991, Ballantine Books, 1990, p. 920.
Star Wars meets Wagon Train as a futuristic flotilla of ragtag explorers
search for a mysterious savior planet known only as "Earth," while being
pursued by the dreaded Cylons (cybernetic tin-can baddies with vocal
patterns that closely resemble a Speak & Spell game). This theatrical
feature culled from the first and fourth episodes of the fondly remembered
TV show is hilariously dated (the preponderance of polyester outfits and
astrology motifs have the unfortunate effect of making the future look like
an giant interstellar singles bar), but that only adds to the retro charm. An
irresistibly cheesy blast from the past for Gen-X nostalgia-hounds, with
impressive visuals by effects legend John Dykstra and a special
appearance by teenybopper guru Rick Springfield. --Andrew Wright Amazon.Com
Blast-off or rip-off? George Lucas took TV supremo Glen Larson who produced this Star Wars clone to court. (He lost it incidentally.)
Plot? Last vestiges of a human colony
fleeing through space in a giant convoy of
space ships to escape misanthropic golden
robots called Cylons. The special effects
are by Star Wars special effects wiz John Dykstra and therefore not bad at all. Lots
of impressive space ships roaring through space blasting each other to smithereens
with noisy, flashy lasers. Fun in its own peculiar way... Sci-Fi Movie Page
...Belongs on the small screen where it's moderately interesting and John Dykstra's special effects come off best. Leonard Maltin's 2000 Movie and Video Guide.

Halozyme Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results
May 07, 2012, 16:05 ET from Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.
SAN DIEGO, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HALO) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100302/LA63139LOGO)
"We achieved a significant milestone in the first quarter with the European regulatory filing of the subcutaneous Herceptin program by our partner Roche," said Gregory I. Frost, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, Halozyme. "Despite the HyQ regulatory delay from our Baxter collaboration, our pipeline has continued to make tangible progress on all fronts, as well as across diverse therapeutic areas and geographies."
First Quarter Highlights
Highlights of Halozyme's first quarter activities and recent events include:
- Notification from the European Patent Office (EPO) that a hearing scheduled in opposition of the European patent for Halozyme's recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme (rHuPH20) was cancelled and the EPO acknowledged the patentability of the claims. The Company anticipates the EPO to issue a final written decision to this effect.
- Announced with our collaborator, Baxter, that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested additional information to complete its review of the HyQ Biologics License Application (BLA).The Companies will work together to develop studies to provide additional data to address the concerns raised by the agency.
- In addition to filing a Line Extension Application for subcutaneous (SC) Herceptin® (trastuzumab) with the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Roche presented Phase 3 registration data from the HannaH trial at the Early Breast Cancer Conference in Vienna. The study met its co-primary endpoints of pharmacokinetics and efficacy. Herceptin SC, using rHuPH20, may provide greater convenience to patients versus the traditional IV method due to its less invasive administration route and quicker administration time (5 minutes versus 30 – 90 minutes).
- Roche reiterated their intent to file the Line Extension Application of subcutaneous MabThera® (rituxumab with rHuPH20) to the EMA this year for the treatment of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Follicular Lymphoma.
- Announced positive data with ViroPharma regarding a Phase 2 SC trial of Cinryze® (C1 esterase inhibitor [human]) in combination with rHuPH20, in patients with hereditary angioedema. Presented at the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology, the study demonstrated that SC co-administration of Cinryze with rHuPH20 was well tolerated and resulted in sustained physiologically relevant C1 INH functional concentrations.
- Updated the Hylenex® recombinant (hyaluronidase human injection) label to include instructions for pre-administration of the enzyme in advance of other injected or subcutaneously infused drugs, and information from non-clinical studies that provide further data on the safety profile of Hylenex.
First Quarter 2012 Financial Results
The net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $15.1 million, or $0.14 per share, compared with a net loss for the first quarter of 2011 of $9.6 million, or $0.10 per share.
- Revenues for the first quarter of 2012 were $7.4 million, compared to $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2011. Revenues in the first quarter of 2012 primarily consisted of a milestone payment from Roche of $4 million and research and development reimbursements from partners.
- Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2012 were $15.9 million, compared with $13.8 million for the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to an increase in manufacturing activities and compensation costs, partially offset by a decrease in clinical trial activities.
- Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2012 were $6.6 million, compared to $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2011. The increase for SG&A was due to higher compensation costs and higher marketing and market research expenses during the quarter.
- Cash and cash equivalents were $116.6 million as of March 31, 2012, compared with $73.8 million as of March 31, 2011. Excluding the net proceeds of $81.5 million from the financing in February 2012, net cash used in the first quarter of 2012 was approximately $17.7 million.
Due to the HyQ regulatory delay, we anticipate 2012 cash burn to be $55-$60 million, instead of $50-$55 million as previously forecasted.

Live: Pusha T And Ryan Leslie Win Some And Lose Some
Better than: Watching two sets by Ryan Leslie.
An award show wouldn't be an award show without winners and losers, speeches that run for too long, fashion mistakes and surprises. The FlashFWD Awards, a night of Internet self-celebration, had some of those things. But who won and who lost during the music that immediately followed?
The big winners tonight were the members of Pusha T's band. Most backing bands of rappers don't know how to perform hip-hop songs. (There's a reason that no one talks about when Jay-Z and Linkin Park teamed up.) These guys, though, were tight and beefy like a Hanes tee, enhancing Pusha's sound, scratching up "Grindin" on the turntables and giving "My God" a proper synth treatment. At one point an audible was called, and at Pusha's suggestion, the band tore through an unrehearsed version of "Feeling Myself," somehow making the ladies' joint from Fear of God pretty listenable! The best was when they threw percussion claps and snaps on "Popeyes." It was as if Pharrell had produced the 2010 song during his seven-years-ago heyday.
Pusha himself was plagued by a host of sound and lighting problems. Wearing black on black on black, he'd step anywhere but the center of the stage, only to be immediately lost to the shadows; if not for his black diamond Jesus chain, he'd be confused for a stagehand. As such, much of his efforta one-man game of charades, where he tries to act out his every lyricwas for naught.

The biggest losers of the evening: Anyone who stayed for Ryan Leslie's set, a six-song nightmare that took forty minutes to get through. Leslie's always been a good R&B singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, but, seemingly jealous of Drake's rapid ascent, last year, he made a very unwise decision and decided that he wanted to rap. He appeared on a couple of Kanye's G.O.O.D. Friday tracks, and he never realized that rap skills are not transferred through osmosis: hanging out with Lloyd Banks and Fabolous does not a rapper one make.
The problem of the set boiled down to a simple fact: Ryan Leslie is one of very few people who wants to hear Ryan Leslie rap. Herky-jerky and horribly awkward, he has the stage presence of Woody from Toy Story. Isn't this guy supposed to be smooth? With his shoulders lurched forward and posed in an aggressive stance, the Harvard grad unconvincingly spit bars like "Told her bring her girlfriend 'cause they might be dykes." As if that weren't bad enough, that was during "Breathe," a song performed with special guest Mr. Hudson, who also adopted a sense of machismo, one that no one would associate with him. (And if you're wondering whether Mr. Hudson can play the drums, he sort of can; he did a simple Buddy Rich one-two beat while Ryan played the Korg, and a jam session was born.) Every song was stretched past its logical endpoint so that Ryan could show off his musicality. Solos begat solos, and the clock ticked on. It was gratuitous, self-indulgent, and a waste of time. It was an award show unto itself.
Critical bias: I have never won an Internet award. Never even been nominated.
Overheard: "Is this guy seriously going to play the piano and rap? Because if that's happening, then I'm out of here. Leave that to a girl on a Drake song."
Random notebook dump: I didn't even talk about Ryan's dumb fucking red pants or his weird blousy shirt.

How would you like your Android Smartphone to come in at under $100.00? Assuming the Mayan calendar is incorrect, we could be seeing those kinds of prices as soon as 2014. Ovum Research analyst Tony Cripps, noted that during a research Note dated Feb. 29, Google's CEO Eric Schmidt talked about how Android smartphones would be getting cheaper and cheaper in the next couple years. Cripp noted: Will sub $100.00 smartphones annihilate the OEM's and carriers bottom line? According to analysts, no. "Nokia Symbian is already shipping phones at this level," Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney told eWEEK. "There will always be a variety with differing features. As long as consumers will spend $400 on Nike shoes then there will be people who spend $200 on phones. And they will market the high end ones because that is where the profit comes from, just like in shoes." Current Analysis analyst Avi Greengart, brought up the point that Nokia makes nice profits on its low priced featurephones and as that market slowly moves to smartphones, profits can still be made. Of course, this is all great news for Google, they would love carriers to just give handsets away for free so more of them get into the hands of consumers. Source: eWeek
In order to do that, they'll need to cut down on the number of models so they get efficiencies from longer runs. Otherwise, yeah, phones today could be profitably sold for $100 2 yrs from now. You're not getting the latest tech in there for $100, but many aren't going to need it. Akin to low and mid-tier laptops today which are more powerful than models costing $3000 5yrs ago.
i think as manufactures slow down making phones ( because the progress of dual/quad core phones peak ) they will drop in price but right now technology is moving so fast that they make new phone every 4 months or so . which will keep cost hi. just my .02
i think manufacturers can still keep the prices high if they slow down on releasing new phones. instead of releasing 4-5 phones a year they should cut down and release new phones 2-3 times a year. in this way, they can support their old phones better and make true to their statements (talking about motorola). they can still keep the price high. and when they do release a new phone it should be considered revolutionary compared to its predecessors. iphone 4s is still pretty pricey because its the latest and greatest from apple, even though motorola, samsung and htc phones are already more advanced than iphone 4s. now if they make a phone with a built-in cup holders that would be completely revolutionary!
I think it is quite possible to see these prices in the near future. The only thing that I would NEVER be willing to lose in terms of functionality in my device these days is LTE connectivity. The ability to download, upload and transfer files at that rate is priceless. In MY opinion, NOTHING that came along over the years would be an absolute deal breaker for my next device except no LTE. To the users of this website that may sound like blasphemy, but it's true. I don't need a retina display, or SuperAMOLED+ display. Honestly while they're nice to look at, in terms of functionality as a personal smart device, they really don't make that much of a difference to me. If a company came out with a phone that ran an OS that took a materialistic approach and did things like email, web browsing, messaging, voicemail, and maps/nav well and everything interacted seamlessly I'd buy it. Maybe it's because I'm a bit older, but I load the music I enjoy on my phone so that I don't have to listen to crap thats being streamed on a station playing music I'm supposed to like. I STILL hate camera's on cell phones. I'm not sure if any others can relate but there used to be a time when all of the top end phones came in two versions. One with a camera and one without. I was working in a field where cameras weren't permitted. I got used to not having a camera, and quite frankly I don't find myself saying "I wish a had a camera to take a picture of_____________" I think once Android finally defines itself for whatever it is going to be, these $100 will appear. I think it will be similar to the approach Windows is taking now Win8. They're getting rid of the bloat and a 4 year old machine can run Win8. Once Android hits that point and get's to the point where the "less is more" approach, there will be a lot of phones on the market. OF COURSE you're going to have your super phones that will have the capability of installing whatever you want and running it silky smooth but a lot of people would go out and buy that same phone that did just the basics smoothly for less than the $300 premium.
As other said, when manufacturers minimize the number of devices they can better distribute the price over a large number of a few devices instead of having a ridiculous number of models. Guess we'll see if they get Accounting 101 down in the near future. Of course, Apple dinks you in the head despite the number of units sold just because they can.
Would be nice to have ~$250 premium phones without contract. That is much better than $70 phones on contract, imo.
Maybe....$180 more is still $180. I certainly don't need a new phone more than every 20 months. I can easily afford it, but I still recognize that's a waste of money. Probably why so many people live paycheck to paycheck. Might make sense if the phones were unlocked and you could move freely between carriers on a monthly basis. That would really open-up competition, but I don't think there's enough major players to make much of a difference - the market is such that tacit collusion is almost forced because it's easy for them all to see that undercutting the competition quickly becomes lose-lose for everyone.

A pedestal was recovered that dates back to the American Legion Hall when it was located at the corner of Fairway and Rosemont avenues in Montrose/La Crescenta. It was thought to have been carried away when the flood of New Year's Day in 1934 swept through the hall killing several people.
At approximately midnight, as families and revelers slept or celebrated, the rains which had fallen throughout the day on Dec. 31, 1933 combined with 700,000 cubic yards of soil to descend upon La Crescenta in a catastrophe that took around 30 lives (records differ on the exact death toll).
Debris flowed freely from the canyons overlooking the foothills depositing their contents onto a community of 400-500 homes. Close to 300 homes were damaged or destroyed in the process.
In memory of the victims of the flood, a memorial was erected at the corner of Rosemont and Fairway avenues.
Calvin Shutts refinished the pedestal recently and it was discovered that it was the only legion officer's station to be recovered after the flood. It is on display at the American Legion Hall located at 4011 La Crescenta Ave., La Crescenta.

text: Wise wants speedier permit process By Ken Ward Jr. February 7, 1999 Rep. Bob Wise, D-W.Va., has urged federal regulators to help coal companies avoid lengthy environmental reviews that could delay mountaintop removal mining permits.Last week, Wise asked U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials to work with coal companies that don't want to be subject to a new policy that mandates more permit scrutiny.Wise made the call in response to a request from A.T. Massey Coal Co.Massey wanted Wise to help them avoid the new federal policy being applied to a new permit for the company's Alex Energy complex along the Nicholas-Clay county border, in Wise's district. Wise declined to write a letter on Massey's behalf. He said he wanted to avoid getting involved in specific permit disputes.But Wise said he called EPA Regional Administrator Michael McCabe and urged him to meet with companies who think the new policy should not apply to their mines or want to figure out how to change mining plans so it doesn't apply.Wise said, "I'm not asking them to adjust the process. I am asking them to see where adjustments can be made in the permits to meet the requirements of EPA and [the U.S. Army] Corps of Engineers." Last August, Wise called for a moratorium on new mountaintop removal permits until legal questions about the mining practice were settled."So many substantial questions have arisen on federal, state and judicial levels, the only responsible thing to do is to have a temporary moratorium on any new mountaintop removal permits until OSM and the governor's commission have issued their reports and these important legal questions are settled," Wise said at the time.In an interview Friday, Wise said he believes many of the problems he was worried about concerning mountaintop removal have been solved. "I think people aren't recognizing the progress we've made," Wise said. "I think we've come a long way since a year ago, when people weren't complying with the environmental or economic requirements on mountaintop removal."Since Wise called for a permit moratorium, three major events concerning mountaintop removal have occurred:A task force appointed by Gov. Cecil Underwood issued a report calling for reforms in state laws and regulations governing mountaintop removal. The governor has not proposed legislation to follow up on any of the task force suggestions.The U.S. Office of Surface Mining issued a report calling for even more broad-ranging improvements in mountaintop removal legislation. But the report has not been finalized, and no changes in policy have been made based on its recommendations.Environmentalists filed a lawsuit to try to curb mountaintop removal mining. Part of the lawsuit has been settled, but the coal industry is fighting that settlement, which would require the more extensive environmental reviews. During an anti-mountaintop removal rally Jan. 30, environmental group lobbyist Norm Steenstra challenged Wise to take a stand on mountaintop removal if he runs for governor in 2000.Steenstra called on Wise to "take the lead and join us in saying ëWe're going to stop mountaintop removal.'"Wise said Friday he has no plans to work toward a ban on mountaintop removal."I don't support doing away with mountaintop removal entirely," Wise said."I do think it needs to be properly regulated."

Ho.Ly. Fuck.
That is pretty fucking hot! I myself would be crushed underneath your size 15 feet! The big feet myth is just that: A myth. Bullshit. I have average/little feet. ^_~ And I know other guys with the same, who aren't average at all. Also, that's not 10". Maybe 8.5" or so, but not 10". I used to work for a surveying company, so don't lie, or I'll know.
And oh, "Trapped in the suburbs"? Trapped in Kansas is one thing, but gee whiz, boo hoo, cry me a fucking river. He has a car, right? And if he doesn't, he HAS friends who do. (No gay male that age who looks like THAT couldn't have a friend with a car.) Drive, asshole!
Also, if he's hung like that and won't let anyone touch it, you know what that makes him? An asshole with baggage. No, seriously. It may take a bf or two before it pops up, but it will. A boyfriend's going to want oral, and he IS going to want to give oral to that thing. I mean, look at it. Its rediculous.Your feet are far from the only above average thing about you, Colby. There's your art, your writing, your sense of humor, your charm; and if we're sticking to the body (what a lovely idea) your handsome face would be up there in the list of better than run of the mill attributes.
I think the sexiest part of a man is his neck, especially below the jawline on either side. I don't know why but it always seems such an intimate place; it's where he does or doesn't shave, where a stray hair or even a tiny pimple might have escaped his morning grooming, where he's awfully sensitive to a kiss. It's where he's not always perfect and the one reliably exposed part of his skin that only his closest family or intimate may touch him. It's the axis along which his heart nourishes his mind and his mind communicates to his body. It's where his tie tightens and where his lover will straighten the tie and fuss with his collar. It's where you can drape a scarf around him and make sure he's wrapped up against the wind.
When a man lets me touch him there I know I've got a connection with him.- AnonymousJuly 12, 2010 at 8:45 PM
for a guy who drove an hour to meet you-- you didn't really take advantage of the situation. I would have told him no anal/no fucking at all. If he didn't agree then on the way he goes.
ReplyDelete Yeah, this kid is sane and healthy. Never mind that placing hundreds of pounds directly on the lungs is the same basic method of stoning a person to death and the kid's as sweet as apple pie.
On a lighter note, Archer has a similar fetish: http://www.hulu.com/watch/129296/archer-honeypot?c=927:980- AnonymousJuly 14, 2010 at 4:15 PM
Beyond incredible!!! I love the fact that there are folks out there that do love to have their fantasies lived out by men that are kind enough to accommodate them!! You're the best, Colby!!!

Most of the suggestions I make to the SQL Server, Visual Studio, and VB.NET teams come from readers and the people who talk to me after a workshop session and ask What were they thinking when they did that? Thanks to your suggestions, SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 (SSRS 2008) is better. Microsoft kept almost all of the good features and added a few more. That said, I would still like to see some things improved. Lets visit some of the refined features that should make your job easier and look at a few unfinished features that stick out on the road like a dead moose hit by a cement truck.

So I just got done checking out Lineform, a universal drawing app that is well worth your time to check out. In a lot of ways it's a lighter version of Photoshop and Fireworks, but has a few cool features all its own. Plus it's cheaper, which is always nice.
You can throw together a mockup of just about anything in no time.

Unlike PBI's previous efforts, Alien Mind demonstrated just how IIGS games should be done.
Programmed by Rob Karr and artwork by Matthew Crysdale, Alien Mind was a IIGS only game and it showed. The two disks the game came on had a custom operating system, for reasons of copy protection and super, super quick loading times (compare loading Alien Mind to say, Test Drive II).
Alien Mind involves the player as biologist and physicist Timothy Hunter, to take part in new research at the Zekford Space Station Laboratory with long time friend Aaron Avery. Aaron arrives first and sends you a telegram containing the exciting news that two alien eggs have been found in the nearby system, one of them showing signs of hatching...You arrive at the station to find everyone dead and you'll end up likewise unless you defend yourself. The alien did indeed hatch and displayed intelligence enough as a new-born to disable its captors, reprogram the security and maintenance robots to kill everything but itself, release the research animals and to isolate itself from the rest of the station. The sole survivor, your friend Aaron Avery, telecoms a message to you as to what happened and how they can begin to defeat the alien... and prevent the second egg from hatching.
Alien Mind has plays as a top down arcade shooter, akin to Gauntlet, which could tell if you're balding. You'll need to pick up ammo (once it runs out, you're dogmeat - so conserve it!) medical packs, energy conductors (slowing down your foes) and shields to help you pass every level. But to Alien Mind, there was more than that. You have to access terminals to activate different facets of Zekford that allows you to continue to traverse the station. Puzzles have to be solved, in the form of riddles found on specific computer terminals you will access so that the Alien could never decipher such questions and intercept the messages sent by you and Aaron.
If you didn't buy the game, which you should of if you were a IIGS gamer back in '88, you couldn't possibly solve all of the riddles given in the game because some of the answers were to be found in the background information of the accompanying manual. So, for your convenience, I have included answers to all the riddles throughout the game (spoilers follow!):
Biologist Ho!
black hole
With that in mind, do not just use all these codes as soon as you come across them - it will detract from the fun of the game. If the riddle doesn't involve information on any of the characters within the game, sit down and think about an answer...look it up in a encyclopedia if you have to! It won't be that easy anyway, to just have the codes, because the trick is find the terminals as well. It's important you move onto the next terminal as quickly as possible as you will need at least 3500 hit points to survive the showdown with the alien.
Additional - Trying to access the IIGS control panel (open apple, control, escape) is where games can be saved and resumed. A save game disk is included in the archive for your convenience.

Thelma Mejía * - Tierramérica
The country's 67 wetlands cover 12,385 square kilometers on the coastal flatlands of the Caribbean coast, interior highlands and valleys, the Pacific coast area of the Gulf of Fonseca, and the Bay Islands in the Caribbean.
In one of these wetland areas, the Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve in the eastern region of La Mosquitia, indigenous communities have been carrying out initiatives to preserve the mangrove forests for the last five years.
These initiatives have obtained financing from the Small Grants Programme (SGP) of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), administered by the World Bank.
The reserve, which spans the departments of Olancho, Colón and Gracias a Dios, was declared a World Heritage site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in 1982.
The modest funds distributed by the SGP, executed in Honduras by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), have financed 14 mangrove protection projects in La Mosquitia and the Gulf of Fonseca.
The SGP has provided these projects with just over 367,000 dollars, while the communities, as the local counterparts, have contributed over 300,000 dollars in volunteer and paid working hours and equipment, along with other efforts that the programme counts as an economic contribution from the beneficiaries, explained its coordinator, Hugo Galeano.
The positive results, said Galeano, are due to "the real and inclusive participation of the communities. When people assume their responsibility for guarding, protecting and benefiting from natural resources, the results are extraordinary," he told Tierramérica.
The social impacts achieved have also been modest, but are crucial for each individual involved.
Close to 9,624 paid work days have been generated, with direct benefits for 98 families and indirect benefits for another 44, a total of around 1,300 people. The communities selected live in areas of extreme poverty, which is one of the eligibility requirements for SGP funding.
"A lesson we have learned is that the costs of these projects are much lower when people recognise the importance of and take responsibility for the protection of the environment," said Galeano.
Communities organise into small cooperative associations that do not need to be legally registered to apply for funding. A volunteer "committee of notables" reviews the community proposals, and if they are approved, the SGP provides them with grants of between 3,000 and 30,000 dollars, which the cooperatives administer rigorously.
As for the benefits to the environment, so far over 336 hectares of mangrove forests have been restored. In addition, communities on the Pacific coast began a project three years ago to restore stocks of the threatened olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), and have raised and released some 24,000 specimens.
Inspired by these experiences, the Biodiversity Department of the Ministry of Environment established a mangrove protection plan in 2010, with the support of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The plan forms part of a wider initiative in which Guatemala and Nicaragua are also involved.
After observing the results achieved by the SGP and local organisations, "we are seeking to promote complementary initiatives, carrying out assessments that can lead to greater participation by communities, as well as providing information to local and regional authorities on the importance of preserving these ecosystems," Rafael Sambulá, the national coordinator of the project, told Tierramérica.
The first phase of the four-year project includes working with indigenous communities in the three participating countries and identifying areas and types of actions to be carried out.
Mangrove forests "are natural nurseries for shrimp, fish, lobsters and micronutrients that make them one of the richest ecosystems in the world, since they provide organic fertilisation of the oceans," said Sambulá.
The wetlands in La Mosquitia are the most extensive in the country, covering just over 800,000 hectares, and are also home to the greatest wealth of plant and animal life, said biologist David Jaén, who works with the Ministry of Environment's biodiversity project.
Their isolated and remote location, however, means a limited institutional presence, which poses a challenge to effectively monitoring communal protected areas, controlling the legality of land possession and ownership, and preventing illegal logging.
Because of this, among the many threats, perhaps the most serious is the lack of land management and planning schemes that define the importance of ecosystems, said Jaén.
"The mangroves are the main protective barrier against hurricanes," he noted, and areas like Omoa, in the north, have been left unprotected by the construction of coastal infrastructure that has destroyed these forests.
Other threats include plantations of oil palms for the production of edible oil and biodiesel, cattle ranching, tourism industry development projects, and the drug trafficking activity which seems omnipresent in the region, even in the heart of the Río Plátano reserve.
Oil palms, which now cover around 100,000 hectares, are being planted in unsuitable areas, including biological reserves, particularly along the Atlantic coast.
"When the wetlands are drained to plant oil palms it causes irreversible damage to the mangrove forests. This is why we recommend the installation of oxidation ponds to reduce the impact of the chemical reactions provoked by the planting of oil palms," said Sambulá.
Meanwhile, this past February, UNESCO warned of the threat posed by drug trafficking in the Río Plátano and La Mosquitia regions, where drug cartels are challenging the authorities for control over certain areas.
Clandestine landing strips in the middle of the rainforest and illegal logging are endangering biodiversity, UNESCO reported. A number of homicides and the discovery of drug shipments led the government to announce on Aug. 17 that it is considering the establishment of no-fly zone in La Mosquitia.

Flute Epidemic
The Monty Python kid show How to Do It promised, among other things, to teach children how to play the flute. Here, in its entirety, is the instruction for that discipline: "You blow in one end, and move your fingers up and down the outside."
Proof that the Pythons had skimped on the details a tad comes to the Valley this weekend with the 26th annual convention of The National Flute Association. For four days, more than 3,000 flutists will blow in one end, move their fingers up and down the outside, and argue and commune about how to do it best.
For the rest of us, since all the events are open to the public, the happy result is a heap of cool, cheap concerts. The 25-year-old association, the "largest flute organization in the world," boasts a membership of more than 6,000 in 50 countries. Plenty of them will perform at the convention--each evening will feature a major concert at Phoenix Symphony Hall. While the daytime and late-night concerts offer tastes of Venezuelan and other international flute music, the convention's theme this year is "The American Flute." Dang right.
The scheduled evening concerts are as follows:
8:15 p.m. Thursday, August 13: "The Native American Flute" with Navajo-Ute musician R. Carlos Nakai.

4:15 p.m. Sunday, August 16: "Fastest Fingers in the West!" This flute and piano gala brings the weekend to an appropriately Western quick-draw climax with performances by Carole Bean, Elena Duran, Bradley Garner, Jeani Mulhonen Foster, Amy Porter and Susanna Self.
In addition to the headliners bill, the weekend will include daytime concerts featuring such ensembles as The Great American Flute Orchestra, the Phoenix Symphony Flutist in Recital, Matt Doran with Flutes Fantastico and the Oregon Flute Ensemble, Sierra Winds and the Baylor Woodwind Quintet, Les Enfant de Pan and Laurence Albert, the National High School Flute Choir, the United States Air Force Band of the West Chamber Players and the Fourth Annual AIDS Memorial Concert.
A wide variety of workshops, clinics and lectures is also scheduled, on topics ranging from "The Electric Flute" to "Flute and the Internet" to "The American Melting Pot: A World of Flutes" to "Looking for Kokopelli: A Look at Flute Player Images in Rock Art of the Southwest."
Oh, yeah, and one more peculiar performance: NFA attendees are scheduled to play the national anthem at BOB before the Friday, August 14, Mets-Diamondbacks match-up. Let's hope those wild flutists don't raunch it up with their flying fingers, the way Roseanne did.

2010 - Predictions and Catabolic Collapse
First a review of last year's predictions--a year I labeled as "Selfishness Disguised." It is with mixed feelings that I report that my 2009 predictions were far more accurate than those for 2008 (though my one "go out on a limb" prediction of a military coup in Pakistan didn't materialize).
In general, my prediction that the economy would muddle along but not officially "recover" in 2009 seems to have been just about right (and, given my general pessimism on the fate of our current political and economic system, it was somewhat bold from my perspective, in late 2008, to not predict collapse and catastrophe).
Similarly, I think I was fairly accurate when I said that the American government would focus all of its energies on solving our short term problems at the expense of putting any real effort into fixing our long-term concerns. Admittedly, this is probably a safe prediction to make for any group, anywhere, at any time. None the less, it came to pass. We've set ourselves up for a bit of a crunch, but more on this later...
Regarding oil prices, I predicted the year ending between $60-$70 a barrel, and in actuality it ended just shy of $80. There have been many reasons for the surge in prices over the past few days--I've even heard some people claim that the price rise (from around $70 a week before the end of the year) has been due to thin trading--i.e. not enough speculators in the market. That's a bit too rich even for my tastes: make up your mind, people who don't think that oil prices are set by supply and demand, is it too many speculators or too few !? The real story in the current price of oil--not the high resolution $79 vs. $75/barrel, but the fact that oil isn't at $30/barrel--is that the economy hasn't collapsed, and demand has begun to grow again, especially in places like China and India.
On the geopolitics front, I'm disappointed to say that my predictions were correct that Obama would eschew any long-term investment in diplomacy and building institutions for international governance and human rights in favor of various short-term, politically expedient moves: "Surge, Part Deux" in Afghanistan, omens of growing involvement in Yemen, the failure to make any significant effort at the recent Copenhagen conference to show the world that we're not trying to maintain a de facto North-South divide. Oh well, no big surprise there, move along...
On to 2010: the year we commit to catabolic collapse.
It's not that I would have suggested that we would manage to avoid it, but 2010 is the year we commit to Catabolic Collapse--the concept that our civilization will experience a long, slow, and bumpy decline over the next several decades. We spent 2009 desperately scrambling to fabricate a recovery out of everything we could find in the armament: loan, stimulus, outright bribes to buy houses or new cars, and even occasionally the attempt to enforce some of the laws that could have limited the excesses that were revealed in 2008.
This short-term focus has created several problems for us. First, we didn't really do a damn thing about energy. Lower prices were the result of declining demand (especially in the US, where it was "easy"--e.g. high proportion of high elasticity demand). Calls for real change in energy efficiency standards or renewable energy generation seemed to fade with 3-digit prices just in time to escape being targeted by the "what cooking utensil can we throw now at the problem" approach. As a result, we're now poised for a short-lived recovery (at least in energy consumption) in the US in 2010, as well as an accelerated rate of energy consumption growth it much of the developing world. Supplies held relatively steady while the price of oil crashed from nearly $150/barrel to nearly $30 barrel, effectively making any renewable energy investment that depends on oil a more than $30-$40/barrel unlikely on the economics alone. Likewise, from a political standpoint, far too many think that oil prices spiked because of speculators. As a result, the political will to address price volatility (such as with a significant gas tax redirecting energy to renewables investment) and proactively avert market-driven demand destruction as supplies decline has evaporated. At best, we have five years of a relative production plateau (that is only if all megaproject predictions pan out), and then we're in for production decline--I don't see anything in 2010 that will show our intent to build the foundation of renewable generation we'll need to avoid the Renewables Gap and be in any way prepared for the downslope of fossil fuel production...
Where does this leave us for 2010: I think we'll actually turn the corner from "muddling" to "recovery" in 2010. I won't be a very egalitarian form of recovery--especially if you are a formerly well paid industrial worker that still captures the attention of the American news media, but there will be a bit of life breathed into the markets for houses and cars, and the results will be another confrontation between energy supply and demand. Some locales will address this directly, and there will be some real improvements in energy efficiency and the creation of local self-sufficiency, but the reality of energy descent will begin to cut the legs out from underneath any generalized increase in prosperity shortly--perhaps not in 2010, but not long thereafter. I'd expect another economic slowdown to begin at the end of 2010 as oil prices break and hold just over $100/barrel by the end of the year after an earlier dip (voila, there's my oil price prediction . . . though I'm less bullish for 2011).
The bigger picture, though, is that centralized government seems structurally incapable of mustering the political and economic program necessary to seriously re-evaluate and address how it attempts to order our civilization. What will happen instead--perhaps as early as the end of 2010, is that we'll again mobilize in support of some near-term and media friendly rallying cry to solve the ___ problem (probably energy, but hell, it could be crime, healthcare, trade wars, blackouts, even piracy for all we know). The focus on the effervescent economic recovery of 2010 will repeat the general cycle--rally the populace around the promise that-near term recovery is possible, and that we don't need to listen to the loonies advocating for fundamental changes. It is this process that confirms a future of Catabolic Collapse. Probably driven by energy, but with political and social swings exacerbating the situation as populists of all stripes try to offer their own rallying cries, we'll see the continued degradation of both modernity (to the extent it still exists in the Nation-State construct) and the unabated slide down the energy descent amusement ride.
I can't say I find this prediction particularly distressing, precisely because I think the potential of Rhizome and the Diagonal Economy depend on a collapse that isn't too fast to do anything about (asteroid), too slow to recognize, but just right... Many will lament the losses of time-honored institutions, but frankly I don't think any centralized and hierarchal powers structure can address the Problem of Growth. We'll have to do that for ourselves.
I don't have any bold "this specific event will happen here" predictions for 2010, but I do want to give one location-specific example of where I think this trend toward the degradation of the Nation-State construct will be especially severe: India. No, I don't think India will collapse (though there will be plenty of stories of woe), nor that the state government that occupies most of the geographic territory of "India" will collapse (note that careful wording). Rather, I think that the trend for a disconnection between any abstract notion of "Nation" and a unitary state in India will become particularly pronounced over the course of 2010. This is already largely apparent in India, but look for it to become more so. While Indian business and economy will fare decently well in 2010 from an international trade perspective, the real story will be a rising failure of this success to be effectively distributed by the government outside of a narrow class of urban middle class. It will instead be a rising connectivity and self-awareness of their situation among India's rural poor, resulting in an increasing push for localized self-sufficiency and resiliency of food production (especially the "tipping" of food forests and perennial polycultures), that will most begin to tear at the relevancy of India's central state government. In India there is a great potential for the beginnings of the Diagonal Economy to emerge in 2010.
Those are my predictions. Nothing really incredible, but that' the point: the most important thing that will happen in 2010 (and that almost no one will recognize) is that we will confirm the inability of our most important institutions (Nation-States, centralized economic systems, cultural constructs like "nation") to do anything about the underlying Problem of Growth, or even to take a reasonably long-sighted approach to energy policy and geopolitics. And, as a result, 2010 will be the year that we commit to the catabolic collapse.
On a slightly lighter note, I'll post briefly about my personal goals and plans for 2010. I'll gloss over the more personal ones (continue and expand my old-form Chen Taichi practice, read to my daughters every night, shift to an 80% work schedule to allow more time for writing, etc.) in favor of something that might be of interest to readers. Specifically, my overarching goal is to cultivate mindfulness in 2010--not merely the narrow concept of internal mindfulness, but an expanded notion that includes awareness of all my life choices and how they create or support certain power structures, how they build or diminish hierarchy, and ultimately lead to self-sufficiency and fulfillment of human ontogeny. In short, my concept of Rhizome is predicated on the structural self-awareness of its participants, and this kind of "life awareness" seems like a valuable skill to work on in my own life. I also hope to build a litigation checklist and complete a second book, that is now only in very rough outline, providing a stand-alone critique of hierarchy, discussing the Problem of Growth, and offering an alternative via Rhizome and the Diagonal Economy. More on that as the project progresses...
Happy New Year.

I detect a note of frustration... (which is quite understandable). I agree with you that TPTB will not concern themselves with the common good, and that it will be up to ordinary people to make their own arrangements. I think that the U.S. will not be very far behind your predictions for India. I also have a hunch that the oil megaprojects will not perform as predicted, and that we will find ourselves on a descending slope rather than a plateau.
- Jeff Vail said...
I agree... I doubt that oil megaprojects will perform to expectations. It seems that there are two options--at or below expectations, but not above expectations. Therefore, it seems to make more sense that a prediction should probably skew below expectations.
Also, even if megaprojects perform to expectations, these are almost all cases of lower net-energy oil. If production as measured in barrels per day holds steady, the net energy available to society will still be in decline, and that's the more relevant measure for society's ability to keep up its current economic/political mode. - 1:49 PM
"And, as a result, 2010 will be the year that we commit to the catabolic collapse."
right. got it. so is it cool to start dressing like an extra from Mad Max yet or will football pads with spikes welded to not be all the rage until 2011?
cheers - 7:42 PM
- Rice Farmer said...
I guess this comment is a bit late (finally getting caught up on my reading), but I would like to ask about a couple of things.
On India, I assume you are including the Naxalites in your calculations, but would like to know how big a role you see for them in developments there.
On oil, there seems to be a lot of optimism these days that Iraqi production will be ramped up quickly and bring down the price of oil. My view is that too many things can (and probably will) go wrong in Iraq and prevent any big production increase. What's your view? - 11:15 PM
- Jeff Vail said...
Rice Farmer,
I think the Naxalites are part of the puzzle, but I see them more as a manifestation of the situation in India which will make it a forerunner in this regard. There is massive poverty and a huge rural workforce in India, but there are (at least) four things that I see as being critical that distinguish India from, for example, China or sub-Saharan Africa:
1. Rule of Law: there is a fairly functional legal system in India. This will, especially up front, help (paradoxically) make the state structure less relevant because it will be easier for distributed landowners to defend property rights than, say, in China.
2. Historically distributed land ownership: No (significant) history of collectivization in India. Still widespread existence of small farmers and rural markets.
3. Education/widespread English/Organization: It will be easier to pick up on global developments in open-source/localization in India because they tend to have better international contacts (through historical trade patterns/modern migration) and can more easily access the wealth of available information because English is widely spoken.
4. Extreme transportation challenges: Localization and import substitution will be more successful at the same energy price in India compared to other palces because there are such massive transportation issues in India. This also makes it more difficult for the state to impose homogenous standards or markets on the rural areas because it's so difficult to reach them physically. My understanding is that it takes *at least* a week to drive across India (often much more). I've driven from Virginia to Colorado (comparable to the widest part of India) in a day (long day).
On Iraq, I'm not very optimistic that it will significantly ramp up production. I could see it reaching 4 mbpd, but any estimate above that seems excessively speculative to me. One thing I will say about Iraq: precisely because of the geopolitical turmoil over the past 3 decades, there is better potential for discovery of geologically "easy" oil there than almost anywhere else. Even if some magical pool of geologically easy oil does exist under the Western desert, though, that won't make it geopolitically easy to get out! If the Iraqi federal government and the Kurdish state can work out a long-term plan for revenue sharing of the northern fields, then I'll change my tune about Iraq. That's the bellwether to me--if they can't overcome their conflicts there, they won't be able to produce the geopolitical environment necessary to increase production over 4 mbpd. They're nowhere close to reaching an agreement there at present... - 1:57 PM
- Rice Farmer said...
Thanks for your insights. Another major factor that will constrain economic growth (and probably help lead to collapse) in India, not to mention Africa, the Middle East, the rest of South Asia, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia is the chronic and crippling shortage of electric power. There are frequent press reports on power shortages and outages particularly in India and Pakistan. This is going to seriously aggravate the situation.
- Urban Scout said...
I love reading your predictions. They get me so excited. Haha. Can't wait for your next book. Sounds awesome.
- Erik Organic said...
At what point do you see the shipping industry adapting to sustained higher energy prices?
The folly of shipping products on a plane, then sending Fedex and UPS trucks into a neighborhood 2x a day, followed by the USPS driver, seems a likely source of efficiency. - 1:45 PM

About this entry:
A name meaning 'forest of beeches', whose red-golden autumn leaves were lamented by Treebeard the Ent. Better known as Neldoreth, this forest was part of Thingol's realm of Doriath in the heart of Beleriand. Taur-na-neldor was destroyed at the end of the First Age, and so for Treebeard to remember it at the end of the Third, his memory of must have reached back over more than six thousand years.

The Denim Deep Indigo Ride On Blazer looks pretty cute in these photos. I don't think it's $168 cute, though.

I think this jacket would have been awesome if they would have kept it more motorcycle style -- which is how i think it looks from the front-- i just dont get the back tail-- it mixes 2 different styles IMO
I agree.
I admire people that can make an ugly item look fabulous on them. That lady rocks the jacket, still, I don't like it and would never spend more than $29 on it.
I think it looks cool and Lulu always puts many details to make their jackets look fabulous! I ordered the black/fossil and deep indigo and will keep only one...let the best color win!
Wow ... love the gold and blue Necklace on the first photo... by any chance, do you know if I can get it somewhere ?
For the The Denim Deep Indigo Ride On Blazer looks pretty cute in these photos... Looks good on her ... I don't think it's $168 cute, though. Even 118$ on sale...
