Sat-spotters find secret payload launched by giant US rocket
Basically a Hubble telescope – but pointed down, not up
Posted in Science, 26th January 2011 14:00 GMT
Amateur skywatchers say they have located the secret spacecraft launched aboard a giant US rocket on Friday. It is thought to be an optical spy satellite of a type which had been retired, but has now been brought back into service due to the failure of its replacement.
The spacecraft, initially referred to as NROL-49*, has now been spotted, and details of its orbit refined by amateur observers. According to veteran spysat-spotter Ted Molczan, the nature of this orbit is such as to make it now virtually certain that the spacecraft is a new, modernised KeyHole-11 optical surveillance satellite – a refinement of a type originally deployed in the 1970s.
According to Molczan, the new spy spacecraft is "of KH-11 lineage", meaning an updated version of the original electro-optical orbiting telescope – thought to be somewhat similar in size and configuration to the Hubble Space Telescope, but pointed down at the Earth rather than out into the universe.
Until the 1990s, the large KeyHole spy satellites, built by companies now grouped under the Lockheed Martin umbrella, more or less had a monopoly at the NRO. However the big, bus-sized machines required powerful launch rockets (or the Space Shuttle in some cases) to reach orbit, and this was expensive – as were the satellites themselves.
Behind the curtain of secrecy, the spooks and generals of the National Reconnaissance Office awarded a new, multibillion-dollar deal to Lockheed's great rival Boeing to build a new generation of smaller, lighter, cheaper spysats that could be launched more often on cheaper rockets. This Future Imagery Architecture (FIA) plan hit trouble even before 2000, but the NRO ploughed on with it.
Finally, by some accounts after some $15bn had been spent to little effect, the optical part at least of the FIA was said to have been cancelled in 2005. (Some analysts contend that the radar-sat part of it lived on, and that an early example was the failed-on-launch satellite which subsequently had to be destroyed above the Pacific by a US Navy cruiser using a missile-defence interceptor.)
The consensus among observers is that the lengthy wait for FIA, followed by its non-appearance, has led the NRO to ask Lockheed to supply further old-school KeyHoles, heavy and pricey as they are: and that Friday's launch of a massive Delta IV Heavy – the most powerful rocket stack in US service other than the Space Shuttle – carried the first of these into space to relieve the ageing KeyHoles now in orbit.
Spaceflight Now notes that the NROL-49 mission patch worn by members of the launch team carries the motto melior diabolus quem scies, meaning roughly "better the devil you know". ®
*National Reconnaissance Office Launch 49, the official designation for the Delta 4 Heavy launch operation on Friday. The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is a joint operation of the US military and intelligence community and their contractors, in charge of secret spy satellites.

GM Foundation, Cadillac Help Get DSO to Carnegie Hall
Motown to Manhattan: Orchestra returns to legendary venue for first time in 17 years
Apr 16, 2013, 09:00 ET from General Motors
DETROIT, April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The General Motors Foundation and Cadillac will help pave the way from Motown to Manhattan for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra this May as it prepares to perform at Carnegie Hall for the first time in 17 years.
The GM Foundation provided a $350,000 grant to the DSO for music education initiatives, including its involvement in the prestigious Spring for Music festival that showcases five symphony orchestras from across North America. The DSO is the first orchestra invited to perform two programs during the event.
In addition to funding from the GM Foundation, Cadillac will transport the musicians and a number of special guests during the week-long festival.
"We are celebrating this trip to Carnegie Hall as a symbol of Detroit's resilience and withstanding excellence," said Anne Parsons, DSO president and CEO. "We are thrilled that the General Motors Foundation and Cadillac will be by our side as a partner with Leonard Slatkin and the DSO under the spotlight of this important festival."
The GM Foundation has a long-standing history of supporting the DSO and community arts programs. Over the past decade, the Foundation has donated nearly $1.5 million to the DSO to help bring world-class music to the Detroit community and support the musicians who share a passion for the city. The Foundation's support of Detroit-based nonprofits and cultural institutions over the past decade totals nearly $21.5 million.
"Detroit's revitalization can be seen in the strength of the DSO, which has long been a beacon and cultural pillar within the city's arts community," said GM North America President Mark Reuss, vice chairman of the GM Foundation. "Together with Cadillac, we look forward to the DSO's triumphant return to Carnegie Hall."
About DSO's Carnegie Hall Performances
May 7, 2013
Prior to the DSO performances in New York City, the public is invited to attend a special sendoff concert on May 7 at the DSO's Orchestra Hall in Detroit. All tickets are $25.
May 9, 2013
The first performance will feature Kurt Weill's ballet The Seven Deadly Sins, starring cabaret singer Storm Large on lead vocals. Originally written for Weill's wife, Lotte Lenya, in collaboration with Bertolt Brecht, the work premiered in Paris in 1933 after Weill fled persecution in his native Germany. It tells the tale of what could be two sisters or a split personality as they set out on a tour of American cities each represented by a different sin. The ballet is a bitter satire on bourgeoisie exploitation. Also on the program are Ravel's La Valse, and Rachmaninoff's Caprice Bohemian and Isle of the Dead. Isle of the Dead will appear on the DSO's third and final CD of Rachmaninoff's symphonic works to be released on the Naxos label in 2013.
May 10, 2013
The second performance consists of all four Charles Ives symphonies, a debut for the DSO as well as for Carnegie Hall. Music Director Leonard Slatkin chose an immersion into Ives in pursuit of showcasing the strength, sound, ensemble and style that is uniquely Detroit.
Long known for celebrating American repertoire through recordings and commissions, telling Ives' biographical story through the consecutive performances of all his symphonic works serves as a tribute to both Slatkin's affinity for American compositions and Detroit's longtime acquaintance with the American school. Slatkin, who considers Ives to be one of America's most progressive composers of his time, imagined the four-symphony program as a way to familiarize the audience with his style.
Live Broadcasts on WRCJ-FM
Each DSO concert will be broadcast live on Detroit's WRCJ-FM (90.9).

Oakland County "American Idol" hopefuls were surprised when they arrived for the next round in the musical competition.
A total of 212 young singers from across the country headed for Hollywood last month, each with a Golden Ticket in hand and a single visionŁ to become the next Idol. Hopefuls from the Detroit audition included Malaya Watson of Southfield, Jena Irene Asciutto of Farmington Hills and Sarah Scherb of Birmingham.
To their surprise, the American Idol folks invented a new challenge for contestants called Hollywood or Home. Exhausted from their flight, they were taken to an airport hangar for what Host Ryan Seacrest described as "a shocking wake-up call." Without a break to rest from their flight, about half of the group was called to sing for the judges and fight for their place in Hollywood.
"We didn't know what was going on and were all freaking out," Ascuitto said. "We watched the judges walk in, and Jennifer Lopez said, 'the competition begins now.'"
The stress and tension was visible on the faces of the hopefuls in the latest episode, which aired last week on Fox. As they were called to perform so judges Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. could again listen to contestants they believed may not be Idol material. After a very long day and night, two buses pulled up outside the hangar. Connick told the group that one bus would take the contestants moving forward to their hotel and the next round, called Hollywood Week. The other bus was headed to the airport, where passengers would board planes to go home, never having a chance to unpack their bags.
Asciutto, Watson and Scherb were not asked to perform at the hanger, but faced the judges the next day. Ascuitto performed "Video Games" by Lana Del Rey, accompanying herself on the piano.
"My heart was pounding," Asciutto, 17, said. "My piano is like my blanket. It makes me more comfortable, so once I started playing, it all fell in place. We were supposed to say our names and why we should be the next American Idol. I was told to make it short, so I said that it's my time and my Mom would be very proud of me."
Following Ascuitto's performance, Keith Urban whispered to the other judges, "I like that song. I don't know it, and I am going to download it."
Malaya Watson also accompanied herself on the piano, singing "Brand New Me" by Alicia Keys.
"I chose that song because it showed who I am. I can sing and play piano," said Watson, 16. "I decided to wear comfortable clothes because I didn't want to wear something outrageous or pajamas. When it was over I felt like I had a boulder off my shoulders Ś phew."
At the end of the day, contestants faced their fate in the form of two linesŁ the singers moving forward in the competition and the ones going home.
"I watched the really talented people move to one line, but I was not called,"Ascuitto said. "I was giving up hope when Jennifer Lopez told me to step forward at the last moment. I think my heart stopped for a second."
But there was no time to relax and enjoy the moment. Contestants were handed another challenge that took them out of their comfort zones and sent them scrambling not only to
form small groups, select a song to perform and choreograph it, but also find a way to stand out.
Drama erupted as the stressed, exhausted singers worked late into the night. Tears flowed and tempers flared as each group tried to find a way to work together. Ascuitto's group included a huge challenge in the form of Sikenya Thompson of Saginaw, who said she was sick and kept the others wondering until the last moment if they would have to perform without her.
Showing poise and professionalism fitting an American Idol, Ascuitto impressed the judges and earned her place in the next found of competition. Although Thompson struggled with her performance, she also was allowed to move forward.
Malaya Watson, with group members Olivia Diamond of Detroit and Queen Bulls of Ypsilanti turned in an entertaining performance of The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back." Jennifer Lopez told the group, "I want YOU back."
However, it was the end of the American Idol road for Sarah Scherb, whose performance was not aired. Scherb tweeted, "Unfortunately got cut in group round of Idol. I learned so much from my amazing experience, but it's definitely not over for me. Keep watching for me y'all."
The number of contestants now stands at 77.
Ģ "American Idol" airs at 8 p.m. EST Wednesday and Thursday. http://www.americanidol.com/

|Flue shot and viral load
Jan 7, 2013
I was in Africa and used to take generic version of the HIV medication. I move to United States and they switched me into Atripla saying that it has the same combination of medicine that i used to take back home. i was switched into Atripla two months ago and before i started it my viral load was 20 and i was also given a Flue shot for the first time 21 days before starting the Atripla (since my blood work was in process). BUt after month and 15 days my viral load happened to be 90 and i have no idea why it happened as i have been taking the medication as prescribed and did not have any activity.
Response from Dr. Henry
A viral load of 90 is still very low and could be due to a minor blip (a fairly common pheneomenon) and/or a response to vaccination. In vast majority of cases such as you describe the low level virus measure is of no clinical significance-I would expect the next measure to also be very low. Our lab simply reports out if level is < 50 copies since significance of actual levels below 50 copies unclear and for many studies a level < 200 is considered good viral control. Concern increased if level is > 200 in more than one occasion in a row. KH

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks finished Friday higher after investors looked past a tepid GDP report to focus on what's shaping up to be a decent earnings season. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 23.62 points, or 0.18% to 13,228.24. The S&P 500 increased 3.38 points to 1,403.36 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 18.59 points to 3,069.20. Breadth within the Dow was positive with 19 of the index's 30 components posting gains. The biggest percentage gainers among the blue chips were Cisco ( CSCO) and McDonald's ( MCD).
Shares of Cisco rose 1.94% to $19.98. TheStreet Ratings gives Cisco a B grade with a buy rating and $22.99 price target. McDonald's shares increased 1.62% to $97.38. The fast food chain gets an A grade with a buy rating and $125.06 price target. The biggest decliner in the Dow was Procter & Gamble ( PG). Shares dropped 3.63% to $64.44.

In this bonus video interview, we steer away from our month of coverage on Metal Gear Solid V to share the inside story on an unexpected collaboration. Metal Gear Solid's art director Yoji Shinkawa is well known for his designs of multiple Metal Gears and the orbital frames in Zone of the Enders, but his work with Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim was his first entry into the world of Hollywood films. To learn more about Shinkawa's career working on Metal Gear Solid, check out our video interview about his past and the future of the series.

The Louisville City Council voted Tuesday night to rescind two-day-a-week outdoor watering restrictions the city had imposed on residents last month, which would have ranked as the toughest in Boulder County.
Since the council's April 2 decision to enact summer restrictions, the Front Range and the mountains to the west have been hit with a series of snowstorms. Snowpack has approached normal levels for this time of year, and Louisville officials feel confident the city has sufficient water for at least the next two months.
The city will keep in place limits on when residents can water -- between the hours of 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. It also continues to ask residents to voluntarily conserve water and follow wise watering practices.

In this case, officers entered an apartment without a warrant after smelling marijuana inside, knocking, and hearing noises inside. The Kentucky Supreme Court had assumed that the police had exigent circumstances in those facts, but then concluded that the police had created the exiegncy [sic] — and therefore could not rely on it to make a warrantless entry — by in effect inducing King inside to react to the police outside and react in a way that created the exigency. In its opinion today, the Supreme Court disagreed...2. There's what the Indiana Supreme Court said in Barnes v. State, and, again I'm relying on the wonder that is Orin Kerr:
In this case, the officer had come to the home in response to a domestic violence call.... The officers asked if they could enter the home, and the defendant's wife pleaded with the defendant to let them enter. The defendant refused. The police then entered anyway, and the defendant "shoved [an officer] against the wall." The officers then tazed the defendant and arrested him.The court said there was no such right, noting "a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence."
The defendant was charged with misdemeanor battery against a police officer, among other things. At trial, he wanted to argue to the jury that it was lawful to shove the officer because he had a citizen's right to reasonably resist unlawful entry into his home.
I'm not ready to take a position on either of these cases, but I wanted to put them up for discussion. I'm about to record a Bloggingheads episode, and we may talk about these, but, then again, maybe not.

Box Score | Video: Katie DeSandis postgame | Video: Marybeth Freeman postgame
NEW YORK - Columbia rallied from an early 1-0 deficit to tie the game at halftime, then scored the next two goals of the game on its way to a 4-2 victory over Hofstra on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon at Baker Athletics Complex.
The win is the third straight for Columbia, which improved its record to 3-2 on the season. Hofstra sees its record stand at 4-3.
Hofstra stuck first, four minutes into the game, when Jonel Boileau fed Lauren Del Valle on a two on one breakaway. The goal gave the Pride a quick 1-0 advantage.
After Hofstra controlled possession throughout the early part of the first half, Columbia gradually began to maintain the ball and find its way into the Hofstra zone.
The Lions' hard work paid off with 3:46 left in the half when Columbia's Katie DeSandis knocked home a loose ball in front of the cage after a penalty corner to tie the score at 1-1.
The teams headed into intermission tied at 1-1 and just three minutes into the second half, Columbia took the lead for good. Christina Freibott found Molly Andrews streaking toward the cage and Andrews knocked one past the Hofstra keeper for her second tally of the season, one that put Columbia in front, 2-1.
Hofstra's Boileau had a chance to knot the score later in the half, firing a shot and a rebound of her shot on the cage but Columbia goalie Christie O'Hara was right there to make the two saves and keep the Lions ahead by a goal.
Columbia got some needed insurance with eight minutes left to play. Freibott again was the catalyst, finding Liz Malone in front to redirect one home to give Columbia a 3-1 advantage.
The insurance was necessary since Hofstra's Boileau scored just 38 seconds later to get the Pride within a goal at 3-2 with 7:07 remaining in the game.
As the clock wound down under six minutes, Columbia got a penalty corner opportunity. Katie DeSandis found the back of the net for the second time in the game, getting her stick on a loose ball in front and redirecting it home to put the Lions back in front by two, 4-2.
O'Hara made six saves in goal for Columbia, while Hofstra keeper Kaitlyn De Turo posted five saves.
The Lions will begin Ivy League play this Sunday, September 16 at Brown at 1 p.m.

Mostly, yeah. Deep webs are are stuff like back-ends to dynamic pages, unlinked pages, FTP's etc. Search engines don't index it for many reasons, most of them technical (waiting on a crawl of all possible query combinations of a page with a MySQL back-end would destroy anyone's will to live if all they wanted was the current time in London, England). Tor uses non-indexed servers + onion routing but only to re-route the request using trusted peers so it's more of a Dark Web. The closest analogue to Tor would be this scene in Sneakers where they call the NSA except the links between servers are encrypted, the route is random (even the person sending the message has no idea where it's going before it gets to where it's supposed to, called mixed cascading) and they take other security measures but I'm not sure what they are.
My understanding of most dark webs is that they're full of drugs, equipment to make drugs, conspiracy theorists organising stuff they'll never have the gumption to actually do or CP. How delicious. No wait, the other thing; tedious. I have heard stories of hits being solicited, etc. but I'd guess they're few and far between, it's still far more effective for cartel psycho's to do things more personally.

For crossfire to use as needed
Didn't know where to post this... here seems as good a spot as any. My girlfriend brought me home two dipped pretzels today from some silly neighborhood fair she went to. WTF? These things make crack seem pedestrian. I'm pretty sure it was a pretzel stick dipped in peanut butter, then caramel, then chocolate and rolled in reese's pieces. I'm really not into sweet stuff, I'm more of a fan of spicy snacks, but damnnnnnnnn.... I'm hooked. I asked her to go back tomorrow and get the number of the dude she bought em from.
It may be down to timing, as she brought these home to me just after I finished getting my post-work buzz on, but these things could be the greatest mixture of textures and flavors ever. Virtually a religious experience in munchies. lol
They looked a lot like this, but more stuff on them and less bare pretzel left on the bottom.
okay, carry on
I'm having a difficult time coming up with a non-sexual explanation for this.
All I know is that if my 12 year old self had seen Barbara do this I would be cleaning up a mess by now.
Totally would
Look at my hawse.
My hawse is amazing.

Sabres Ticket Info
The Buffalo Sabres got off to a very poor start in '13. They fired long-time head coach Lindy Ruff just seventeen games into the season, replacing him with Darcy Reiger. Ruff had been with the franchise for over 16 seasons so it came as a bit of a surprise to Sabres fans that their coach would no longer be trolling the bench in Buffalo. Despite a change in the coaching staff, the Sabres were unable to bounce back and reach the playoffs. Buffalo finished 21-21-6, 5th in the Northeast Division.
The Sabres made several moves before the trade deadline last season. Buffalo traded T.J. Brennan, Jordan Leopold, Robyn Regher, and Jason Pominville before April 3rd. Fans in Buffalo were exactly thrilled to see so many talented players leave the team but the front office insisted that the moves were done in order to better the franchise down the road. The Sabres acquired a series of draft picks and young players which should help bolster the team for future. Although the Sabres were established in 1970, they are still searching for their first Stanley Cup. With so many young and talented players on the roster, a Championship could be a very realistic goal in the not too distant future.
Check out the complete 2016-2017 Buffalo Sabres schedule and pick out all of the games you want to see next season. GoTickets has a great selection of Buffalo Sabres tickets for all of their regular season games. And should the Sabres reach the postseason remember that we always have the very best in Buffalo Sabres playoff tickets. So what are you waiting for? Order your Sabres hockey tickets today!

After unhappy teachers prompted an unusually large turnout at his first budget hearing for 2013, Harford County Executive David Craig told the audience Monday night it was the state's fault the education budget is in trouble.
About 300 people packed the Aberdeen High School auditorium, which county spokesman Bob Thomas said was the largest audience at a budget hearing in three years.
Forty people had signed up to testify, almost all of them educators who urged Craig to fully fund the board of education budget.
Craig said he understood their perspective, being a longtime educator who worked two or three jobs to support himself, but explained that Harford was alone in having its budget cut this year.
He said gave every one of the "big seven" counties more money, while Harford actually lost funding.
"We have already been told that the state this year is going to cut our school board budget by $4.7 million," he said.
Craig called it a "huge action by state government that punished us."
He nevertheless thanked everyone for coming out and encouraged them to e-mail him with any more comments, saying he reads every individual letter.
Director of Administration Mary Chance, Chief of Budget and Management Research Kim Spence and Treasurer Kathryn Hewitt joined Craig on the panel listening to speakers.
The teachers, meanwhile, told Craig about the hardships they were facing by the lack of raises and the inability of the county to fully fund the board of education budget.
Some asked for more specific items, like Mary Harris, president of Homestead-Wakefield Elementary School Parent-Teacher Association, who said she had to pay for her own technology.
"There's an obscene disparity of technical equipment [at older schools]," she said, adding that creates second-class citizens.
Krista Hayes also said there is a technology disparity at Homestead-Wakefield.
"Homestead-Wakefield students are suffering from a lack of access to computers, but our girls are most at risk," she said.
Jean Mussly said she has personally bought books so each of her students can have one.
Dawn Klein, from Bel Air Middle School, said there are fewer volunteers for events such as dances and a talent show because faculty members no longer have the time to plan and coordinate such events.
She said she was recently working three jobs besides her teacher position. This year, she was only working one other job because the others were no longer available.
Mark Wolkow, a former school board president, also asked to Craig to fully fund schools, saying that everything will suffer "if our goal is simply to save money and we don't look at the quality of what we're doing."
Marla Posey-Moss, who used to work at Aberdeen Middle School and Bel Air High School, but now works in Baltimore County, said funding education should be "an open and shut case" every year.
Joann MacDonald said she resigned from teaching in 1977 because she could not afford to stay in the profession and is "disheartened" that schools have been underfunded decade after decade.
Alison Warner said although Bel Air High School is "fortunate" to have a state-of-the-art building, she has had to go to Staples and ask for help buying supplies for students.
Others, meanwhile, continued to press for repairs to Youth's Benefit Elementary School in Fallston, among other facilities.
Laura Runyeon said the facility has failing septic systems and students are occasionally asked not to flush toilets. They also cannot assemble as an entire school community.
Danielle Spagler, as well as her son, Nick Spagler, and Fran Dowres, asked for a new playground at Prospect Mill Elementary School.
Danielle Spagler said the playground was built in 1973, is "older than I am" and is used by four classes, but only has four swings and a small climbing apparatus.
"The children have resorted to playing on a nearby hill for entertainment," she said.
A few people were concerned about how the meeting was conducted.
George Curry said he thinks the government should be willing to listen to each resident's full remarks, criticizing the limit of three minutes per speaker, even if representing a group.
Curry then said he was "getting tired" of waiting for resources and of having the educational system be a "pawn or pinata" for political or personal reasons.
He said despite getting increasingly less money year after year, teachers still do the best job they can for their students.
Despite the flood of teachers, several residents also asked the county to keep funding organizations like the library system or the Arc.
Al Morey noted the creator of the multi-branch system in Harford would have wanted the library to keep being funded.

Going into the final round of fixtures in a hugely competitive Pool 2, Pontypridd needed a bonus point victory over the Academicals while hoping London Welsh could get the better of London Scottish in the other fixture.
Lewis' side fulfilled their side of the bargain with a comfortable victory and when news filtered through of Welsh's win over Scottish, Pontypridd could celebrate reaching the last eight of the cross-border competition.
Wales Under 20 centre Garyn Smith did the damage with two of Pontypridd's six scores in an all-round impressive performance. The draw for the British & Irish Cup quarter finals takes place on January 27.
"The conditions were incredibly difficult but we scored some good tries and we delivered as a team," said Lewis.
"It was about controlling what we could do ourselves and that was winning and scoring four tries. We did that and I couldn't ask for anymore from the players especially given the deluge towards the end.
"There were some people looking to the London Scottish result and we were reliant on others. But overall, I think the way we've played against some fully professional outfits means we've deserved to go through."
The home side were always in control against an Edinburgh side who struggled to string any attacks together. Geraint Walsh opened the scoring and Smith's first try gave Pontypridd a 17-0 interval lead. The second half saw four more scores with Aled Summerhill and Owen Williams both adding to a penalty try and a 90 metre dash from Smith late on.
"It wasn't easy to handle the ball out there but I thought some of the rugby we played belied the conditions," said Lewis.
"It's a tremendous achievement to qualify. We've come through it and it's a testament to the players here who are determined and put a lot of effort in. We're now looking forward to a quarter final."
Pontypridd skipper Simon Humberstone, who kicked five conversions and a penalty, added: "It was really tough, towards the end it was some of the worst conditions I've ever played in.
"We're chuffed with the result. I said to the boys before we wanted a big performance and that's exactly what we got. We had a lot of young guys come to the fore, I think Garyn Smith is growing with every game and there are a lot of players coming of age at the moment."
Humberstone's tactical kicking was one of the main reasons for Pontypridd's success, the fly half controlling the game impressively.
"I think we used the chip, cross kick and up and under quite well, we didn't play as much rugby as we would have liked but conditions dictated that," he added.
"When you looked at our pool at the start of the competition with London Welsh, London Scottish and Edinburgh Academicals, you're thinking you have it pretty tough. It was a group of death but week after week, the boys have fronted up and it shows the strength in depth we have here. Away to London Welsh and London Scottish were definitely turning points for us, the performances we put in down there were very pleasing.
"We're very, very pleased with what we've done. I think we've shown over the last two years we can compete with the best sides. We've got a shot at another game now, it'll be a one off and we'll have every chance of winning."
Elsewhere, Aberavon got the better of Gala 11-9 at the Talbot Athletic Ground. In a tight encounter, a try for the Wizards from full back Jonathan Phillips proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Llanelli were edged out by just two points away to Connacht Eagles while Cross Keys were beaten 31-17 by Moseley.
In the only Principality Premiership fixture to take place, Llandovery downed Neath at The Gnoll. Jake Randell opened the scoring and second half scores from Sam Soul and Richard Brooks sealed the win.

Wow, not kowtowing to the latest in whiz-bang proprietary lock-in bullshit is being a luddite now? It amazes me that people have worked so hard to free the web from the clutches of the likes of MS (active-X) and Adobe (flash) through the efforts put into html5 and now we get the pleasure of being called a luddite. If anything, I'd say not embracing the <img> tag is being a luddite.
Wow, using a free browser addon that has versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux is kowtowing to the latest in whiz-bang proprietary lock-in bullshit now? Everything more advanced than the <img> tag is somehow shameful? How fearful you must be every time you click a link. I don't think I'd enjoy your Internet very much.
Wow, using a free browser addon that has versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux
That's interesting. Because, you see, I just went here [microsoft.com], was told my browser was not officially supported so I should go here [go-mono.com] and install moonlight. Okay, cool, so I do it and go back to here [microsoft.com]. Guess what. No lecture. That's some support.
I don't think I'd enjoy your Internet very much.
My html5 open standards based internet is fantastic, thank you very much. Works on my iPhone, my Xoom, my Ubuntu netbook, my Ubuntu desktop, and my Droid smartphone. Have fun playing with your silverflash.
HA! That's a pretty good argument; I no longer have Linux installed so I took Mono's word for this, but if it doesn't really work then I stand corrected.
Okay... but how is this different from Flash? Is it worse simply because it's newer?
I do agree that a downloadable video file would have been better, but it really seems to me that the word "Microsoft" is all some people need to see to fly into a paranoid rant. If they had linked to a file I have no doubt that someone would have posted about how the format they used was suboptimal and MS is trying to keep us from experiencing the video in some other format that is better.
It's a shame no one will get to see it...
I was bummed to discover that Microsoft owns the rights to the Feynman lectures. Available in Silverlight only just rubs salt in the wound.

Exactly. Feynman loved to teach and he loved to educate. He would not appreciate people holding his teaching behinds artificial barriers. What a shame. I'd sad to see Feynman's legacy "owned" by people who are so inferior-minded and unimportant compared to him.
What barrier, a free download barrier?
For some value of "free".
Free download, but only available for Windows and OS X. If you're on Linux, there's Mono, but that tends to lag behind -- I usually have to get some bleeding-edge version whenever I actually need some Silverlight content. And contrary to popular belief, neither Windows nor OS X is "free".
What's insulting about this, especially to Feynman's legacy, is that there's a very simple right way to do this: HTML5. And that actually is behind a free download -- Chrome, Firefox, etc, assuming you don't already have a browser capable of playing it. Or, for that matter, multiple technologies at once, if you're afraid of the codec issue -- put it in, say, H.264, then you should be able to develop Flash and Silverlight shims for browsers which don't support H.264 in HTML5.
I think it's really time the *nix admins drop all of their services from the net for a day or so, just to see what remains and finally settle this "minority OS" joke once and for all.
Stop already ok?
No. Stop reading, if you have a problem.
It is *free* and *available* for 98% of the world. The last 2% includes linux, bsd, plan 9, etc.
Note how you listed more desktop OSes in your "last 2%" than support Silverlight for those "98%".
Oh, and does it support iPhone? Android? There are large chunks of the world, significantly more than 2%, for which their phone is their computer. That's not an exaggeration, either -- people who actually do have a phone, but no desktop, laptop, etc.
You know what? You made a concious choice to use an OS that is not only in the minority, but is miniscule in use compared to win and osx. You knew that
What does this have to do with the ideals of free information and education?
so stop whining when a company makes a product
And herein lies the problem. I wasn't whining abo
You know what else was a free download? IE6.
That's it then; the thread has been Godwindowed.
And at the time it was bar far the best browser you could get. Just because companies are still using it 10 years after release is not their fault.

'He would not appreciate people holding his teaching behinds artificial barriers.'
Feynman was pretty keen on unlocking things, too. Perhaps he'd have approved of unoffcial methods of viewing these lectures, like this:
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=feynman+messenger+lectures [youtube.com]
Note that the MS site doesn't have the famous 'Feynman Lectures on Physics', but the much shorter series of 7 Messenger Lectures given at Cornell:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Character_of_Physical_Law [wikipedia.org]
Incidentally, there'll be a new multimedia version of the actual 'Feynman Lectures on Physics' out this year. They've integrated the (corrected) text with Feynman's original audio, blackboard photos, and related problems:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqRp9tyDLvw [youtube.com]

Goddness knows what locked-down format this will be in, though.

This doesn't even come close to "owning" Feynman's legacy. These are a small set of lectures, impressive for sure, out of thousands of lectures he gave over the course of his life. Before Microsoft picked up the rights to these, they were owned by C

Actually Feynman would have told you to put two sticks together to reach the bannana. [youtube.com]
It's part of an experiment.
They're working on a theory of Quantum Embargodynamics.
Once it's perfected they'll be able to keep you from doing anything without a license. No matter what kind of matter or energy you are, no matter where you are in the universe.
'Surely your'e joking Mr Feneyman'
A darn good read.
These should absolutely be in the public domain. It drives me crazy when companies claim rights to something that they had no part in creating or any real connection to. These should be archived at the Library of Congress and freely available to anyone to use and learn from.
Also, Feynman rules!
X is also not on the Internet due to the requirement of Flash.
Since when does http://www.x.org/ [x.org] require Flash?
Flash runs on (almost) everything, and is being ported to run on everything (that's more than trivially worth porting to).
Silverlight is being deliberately hoarded for use only by Windows and Macintosh machines.

Considering that's probably 98% of the machines in use it's a non-issue, especially since Moonlight is there for Linux, and if it doesn't work, well you can just grab the source and fix it yourself.
As for Flash, Steve has said it sucks, so it must. Along with Blu-Ray.
Personally, I'd like them to make the lectures available cheaply on DVD or available via download; because the bigger issue, for me, is I'd like to watch them when I don't have net access, such as an 8 hour plane flight.

I think you are confusing the platform with the technology. Ensuring your technology (Silverlight) runs on the two platforms (Win/OSX) that dominate the desktop means virtually everyone will have access to your technology; they few who don't us either platform simply are not worth expending resources to reach. Once a platform reaches critical mass (such tablet OS's) the technology will move to them as well (well, unless the Steve dictates is sucks). While the platform can limit the technologies performance

Anyone have a torrent link?
Of course, torrents would be appreciated.
"Project Tuva still requires Silverlight"
They'd be better sending it out on 5.25" floppies, more people would see it.
Netflix can be viewed on all major video game consoles, and there are other devices like the Roku. I'm fairly sure these don't run Silverlight, the Wii and PS3 particularly. I don't have any statistics on which device people use to watch Netflix. But I think there is a larger audience of people who want to watch the movies on their TV rather than their computer screen and don't know how to set up an HTPC.
Hrm. The Netflix web client uses Silverlight, that's sorta the point -- more people use the Silverlight route (or HTPC route) than a Roku. Stated as a happy Roku owner, but I know I'm in a minority, just as all principled Silverlight abstainers should know they are in a minority.
We used Feynman's intro physics book back when I was in college, and though I got an A in every physics course I ever took, I found that book completely baffling. Instead of being logical and straightforward, it was full of mathematical sleight-of-hand, bringing new variables from nowhere, because "we can call this anything we want!", and magically proceeding the final equation.
It's kind of always been my impression that was exactly how physicists did math.
Not trolling, but I've been told by physics majors
Feynman wasn't just another Nobel Prize wining physicist. When he was an undergraduate at MIT he competed in the Putnam Competition and "won" (the top few scores are lumped together and he was one of the competitors with a top score). Meaning that he wasn't a bull in a china shop when it came to mathematical sophistication. On the other hand I did hear first hand when he compared physics to math as analogous to comparing sex to masturbating.
So which particular scientific discipline would be the full-blown orgy ?

In order to comment on the content, you have to see the content.
So it's different from articles?
No, it's different from content you could see if you clicked on it.
Feynman has talked a lot about the importance of openness in science. For example, at the end of "What do you care what other people think?" there is a praise of the scientific method that resonates well with Open Source. Therefore, putting Feynman's work behind the bars of Microsoft is particularly blasphemous.
Feynman probably would have agreed. In the very next sentence, he probably would have called you an idiot for not watching it anyway. In the Douglas Robb Memorial Lectures, Feynman was asked this q
Marshall McLuhan (I think?) would be proud that the Medium is the Message. If you wanted to talk about Feynman's Awesomeness, you/someone would have posted a story like "It's the 50th anniversary of Feynman's Lectures. How has Feynman contributed to what you do today?"
This story is "Microsoft bought the rights to SomeCoolContent. However, they couldn't have picked any of three generic video formats, but once again made an excuse to follow their Proprietary Only strategy."
2002 called. They want their "Sites work only in IE" back.
I have to agree with you on this rant. Way to many moons ago I walked into my freshman physics class with high hopes of being a physicist. I am not sure such an engaging lecturer as Dr. Feynman would have saved me from the pit of hell that was calculus (thus sparking my career in computer science), but listening to him today shook the dust off my love for physics.
I followed along, took notes like I was in class and felt that at the end of the lecture that I had learned something new, even from a1964 film.
I am a Linux fan and support FOSS
So did you watch the lectures from Linux? Are you happy the lectures are being used to promote a Windows view of the Web?
Feynman's awesome, but when his awesomeness is being used to promote proprietary formats that takes center stage.
OK, here is a comment on the content. I went through the hoops to soil my MBP with Silverlight. Then I learn that these aren't THE Feynman Lectures, they are just some Feynman lectures given at Cornell to a fairly general audience. I recall reading somewhere that the actual Feynman lectures delivered to undergrads at Caltech in the 60's which are the basis of the textbooks are stored somewhere in a video archive. The release of those lectures is what I thought was being announced. Of course that would be a

Is that the new catholic... well, schtick? Not a bad move, everything is better onna stick.
...we will celebrate 50-year annivesary of Microsoft -- by removing Windows support from the last piece of still-maintained software.
And I call it a piece of art because the man was a damn artist when it came to explaining physics.
The universe in a glass of wine.
Searching for it returns nothing.
I know you can look it up by the section of the class, but come on natural language search is the new pink.
I'll stick to the bad recordings passed around by CIT students for the past quarter century.
Didn't even warrant a troll mod
"50-year anniversary" is as redundant as ATM machine, PIN number, etc.
And while I'm off-topic, they're not celebrating 50 years (or "50 year-years", if you're the headline writer) of Feynman; they're celebrating 50 years of his Lectures.
[Off to mow the lawn with my lawn-lawnmower.]
I remember that I got a copy from a friend in high school on a collection of ripped CD's that I might just as easily have not gotten my hands on. It is the single-most inspiring series of lectures many people will ever hear in physics for the target audience of entry level university physics progressing towards graduate physics (save maybe the early lecture on how to take a derivative of displacement, which showed the time of the series). About damn time that it is freely available to the general public.
So, since when has Microsoft ever had a problem with Silverlight running in Chrome? I've been to many Silverlight sites with no issues whatsoever. Why is this one in particular discriminating? The link it even tries to send me to points out that Silverlight is installed and working fine.

FORT MORGAN — — "Save the date" cards went out in the mail recently for the Fort Morgan Heritage Foundation's big annual fundraiser: the art auction gala.
The foundation is working hard to prepare for the April 4 event, which will be held at 6 p.m. at the Country Steak-Out restaurant.
Auction Chair Ronda Dowling told the board about those preparations at the board's Feb. 27 regular meeting.
She cautioned her fellow board members that the event is "more than a week — 10 days — earlier than last year," so they needed to work to get the word out and sell tickets.
The 2013 live auction raised $14,630, and the silent auction added another $3,779.50. That money went to benefit regular operations at Fort Morgan Museum, not the exhibits redesign project.
The same will be true of money raised at this year's auction, according Heritage Foundation President Don Ostwald.
Dowling showed the board a couple of the items that will be available in the auction: an original Karol Mack painting and a Colorado Avalanche hockey puck signed by player Paul Stasny.
Ostwald reminded the board that every member would need to help with getting ready for the auction.
Tickets to the event cost $25 each and include cocktail hour, entertainment, appetizer buffet, door prize drawings, silent auction and the live auction. They are available from any Heritage Foundation Board member, at the Library & Museum or call Ronda Dowling at 970-867-6923.
Exhibits project
Museum Educator/Exhibits Redesign Project Manager Andrew Dunehoo told the board that contractor Traub Design Associates would be back in Fort Morgan starting March 17 for more installation work.
"We finished about half of the rail casing in the second gallery" after the Traubs' last visit, and they will bring even more stuff to install with the coming trip, he said. "I gave a presentation to the Lions Club about the progress, and even I was thinking, 'we really have come a long way.'"
Contractor Bruntz Electric had laid out all of the electrical work in the East Gallery, Dunehoo reported, and Fort Morgan Building Inspector Mike Kirkendall had gone over the work and so far was satisfied.
Dunehoo said there had not been any major problems, and things were "moving along on schedule."

Skype to enable 100-way confusion
Skype 2.5 beta available now
Posted in Networks, 3rd May 2006 16:24 GMT
VoIP fans can download a beta of Skype 2.5 from the firm's website as of today, though there is no word on when the final version will ship.
Improved conference calling is one of the features being highlighted in Skype 2.5, with speakers' pictures being flashed up when they talk.
That might come in handy if you're a little forgetful during conference calls. A range of other features in the new Beta also seem to be targeted at the absent-minded, for example, country codes comes in a drop down menu, so you don't have to remember pesky add-on numbers yourself. Updates are now automatic. Payment is now built-in, so you won't forget to pay.
Those punters who don't need to be spoon-fed will be able to send SMS messages to any mobile in the world, and can adjust their calling and internet settings to optimise call quality.
Meanwhile, the eBay-owned VoIP house has also announced Skypecasts, which it describes as "live, moderated conversations allowing groups of up to 100 people from anywhere in the world to talk to one another."
These could be about shared interests, such as, say, an auction? Skypecasts will be free to participate in and host.®

The Thing and Escape from New York director John Carpenter has been brought onboard to provide "his expertise in crafting the in-game cinematics" while 30 Days of Night writer Steve Niles has co-written the script with Day 1.
"After working closely with Monolith, Day 1 is honored to bring the next iteration of the F.E.A.R. franchise to gamers with key elements of the past games yet providing fresh combat and horror experiences in F.E.A.R. 3," said Day 1 founder Denny Thorley in the announcement. "Players can look forward to new features such as divergent co-op, an evolved cover system, and more scares in F.E.A.R. 3."
F.E.A.R. 3--thankfully not F.3.A.R.--is due out on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall.

WASHINGTON, April 2, 2007---The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) kicked off National Landscape Architecture Month nationwide today. ASLA chapters across the country are celebrating with public outreach activities to help kids "Discover Careers in Landscape Architecture," the theme for this year.
More than 35 ASLA chapters will feature multiple events throughout the month of April to highlight the importance of landscape architecture and the availability of careers in the field. Chapter events range from working with students to design outdoor spaces to collaborative charrettes, meetings, lectures, and film viewings.
Chapters have scheduled events with local high schools, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Ace Mentor program participants to teach them one-on-one about landscape architecture and provide them with information about opportunities in the profession. ASLA members are also working directly with guidance counselors and teachers to reach students.
In recognition of this goal of creating awareness of the profession, a number of national partners have signed on in support of the month. The Cultural Landscape Foundation and ACE Mentor program, both targeting middle school and high school students, have joined as partners.
The American Architectural Foundation has partnered with ASLA, as well. This organization has officially launched a scholarship program, "Redesign Your School: A Contest of Scholarly Proportions," to encourage 9th to 12th graders to submit their vision of ideal places to learn in the twenty-first century for consideration of scholarships up to $10,000.
Allied industry groups have also joined in support. The American Horticultural Society, the American Planning Association, the National Building Museum, the Professional Landscape Network, and the Urban Land Institute all join for the second year in a row. New partners include the National Wildlife Federation and the International Federation of Landscape Architects.
More information on National Landscape Architecture Month and on local events can be found at https://www.asla.org/lamonth/index.html.

There is a lot of cleaning up to do in Morehead City after a tornado swept through Tuesday night.
Carteret Community College said it suffered extensive damage and cancelled classes Wednesday. One student was hit with flying debris but wasn't seriously injured, according to officials.
The National Weather Service confirmed Wednesday afternoon that a tornado caused the damage. They say it was a strong EF-0, or a weak EF-1 twister.
The college's student center, the Historic Camp Glenn Building was damaged. Part of the roof of the building used for the college's Basic Law Enforcement Training blew off.
"We took quite a hit," said Joe Rufra, director of Basic Law Enforcement Training at the college. "We have live power lines down, windows broken, and lots of tree damage. But we are thankful it wasn't worse."
"Right now we are closing the campus to only essential workers involved in recovery and clean up," said Dr. Kerry Youngblood, president of the college. "Safety is our main concern. There's a lot of debris and some power lines are down."
Carteret County Manager Russell Overman says there is minor damage to the hospital and civic center.
Carteret General Hospital says it is fully functioning and has not diverted any patients overnight. The hospital says it mobilized emergency internal disaster team, saying the qualified as internal and external disaster.
The hospital is still running on generator power but are hopeful power will be restored.
As of 4 a.m., Progress Duke Energy reported four outages in Morehead City with 275 people affected. The power is estimated to come back on around 1 p.m.
Multiple trees and power lines were knocked down on Arendell St. in the storm. Police have blocked off Bridges and 35th Streets as crews work to restore power lines.

Having seen some recommendations for what Wired considered the essential books for any geek, and found it a bit esoteric in recommending the original Dungeons & Dragons manual, for example, I thought I'd recommend the five books I have read, owned, re-read and recommended on numerous occasions as the core of my own geek libary. It's not a definitive list, as I'm sure there are some great books I've yet to read, and it's not focused on marketing, because that requires it's own list.
So if someone was intending to spend a while on a desert island and wanted to be a fully certified geek by the time they got back, what would I recommend?
The Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier by Bruce Sterling:
Originally published in 1992, Bruce Sterling does an amazing job of explaining the roots of how hacking became a target of law enforcement and media scare stories, in addition to describing the various groups involved, from hackers to law enforcement and civil libertarians.
And whilst the names and people involved may have changed in the last 20 years, it's still relevant – the motivations and aims of each group continue to this day. By that, I don't mean that all hackers are working towards some kind of common vision, but that there are certain traits and motivations which are shared by a signficant proportion. And a study of hacking forums released just last week backs that up.
Code 2.0 by Lawrence Lessig:
If you're not taking an active role in the political and legal threats to the internet as it is today, or at least considering them and their implications, then you really, really, really need to read this book to understand that the 'free' internet as we consider it exists only because of the underlying code, and that can be changed, manipulated and controlled by govering interests, including Governments in particular.
Neuromancer and/or Pattern Recognition by William Gibson:
Picking the first major novel by the creator of cyberpunk isn't exactly a radical suggestion, but when it comes to weaving fascinating stories with a technology thread, there are few equals. However, if the thought of science fiction, or the memory of Keanu Reeves in Johnny Mnemonic put you off, then it's definitely worth trying Pattern Recognition, which is set in the modern day with a suspence/thriller approach. You'll barely spot the references to technology as it's as integrated to the story as it is to many of our lives now. And one of the other works I love by William Gibson was his collaboration on 'The Difference Engine', with Bruce Sterling. Yep, the one I first recommended.
Makers or Little Brother by Cory Doctorow:
Again we're venturing into science fiction territory, but the best recommendation comes from my own family. After 10 years of playing with websites, it was reading Cory Doctorow that prompted my father to say that he finally understood why I kept going on about the web, social networks, 3D printing etc.
In the Gibson vein, both are strong stories which happen to have technology woven into them, and Makers is particularly relevant given the current economic situation, and my own predictions about 3D Printing. Little Brother is more accessible, and don't be put off by anything that comes with a 'teen' label. Sometimes we forget how intelligent teenagers actually are, but Doctorow hasn't.
- Makers on Amazon.
- Little Brother on Amazon
- Both are available to download under Creative Commons via Doctorow's site. One of Creative Commons founders? Lawrence Lessig, the author of Code 2.0 above.
Web Analytics an Hour a Day by Avinash Kaushik
The most practical and business-led recommendation isn't exactly a hands-on guide to analytics product, despite the title. It's actually a supremely good introduction to analytical thinking in general for businesses and websites, and then outlining the various useful metrics and methods to actually achieve progress, rather than just churning out pointless numbers for the sake of it. Google Analytics is used as the standard example for everything, but considering the fact it's pretty much the default option as a free tool, that's no bad thing, and all the information is transferable to whatever analytics package you prefer, but it means you can work directly on your own test site without spending any cash, for example. And it comes with a handy CD full of videos, podcasts and other info. So when the other books have inspired you to do something, now you'll now whether that something is being successful or not.
And if you want to find out more without paying any money, then there's
- Bruce Sterling's blog for Wired.
- Lawrence Lessig on Twitter.
- William Gibson's blog.
- Cory Doctorow News
- Occam's Razor by Avinash Kaushik – Web Analytics Blog.
So those are my five (OK, stricly seven) books which form the core of my own geek library. They're the ones I'd immediately replace if lost.
And while I could go on to recommend so many other great books, I'd rather read your recommendations for the must have geek books you love – so do leave a comment, as it's not just me that will benefit…

Story highlights
- Tavis Smiley: I'm underwhelmed at Holder's decision to avert mandatory minimum sentences
- What took so long? Such sentences have been a disaster from the beginning, he says
- He says tough-on-crime laws made incarceration jump 800%; blacks, Hispanics bore brunt
- Smiley: Why is U.S. no longer willing to do this? Not morals, sadly -- it just got too expensive
"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." -- Martin Luther King Jr.
Why so long?
As I watched the announcement by Attorney General Eric Holder this past week in San Francisco -- that federal prosecutors would no longer invoke mandatory minimum sentencing laws for certain low-level, nonviolent drug offenders -- I kept asking myself: "Why so long?"
Pardon me if I am underwhelmed by the sudden turnaround, especially in light of the evidence having been overwhelming for the past 40 years that we have been on the wrong path. These mandatory minimums were a bad idea when they were first proposed. Not because I say so, but because the evidence leads to almost no other conclusion.
I came of age during America's crack epidemic and I have seen the results of this scourge on our society in my own family, where family members have suffered, their lives affected and dreams shattered. But putting them on lockdown because a judge had no discretion whatsoever was never the answer to any prayer. Not for my family, not for the millions whose "lives have been wasted due to the drug war and the types of police tactics that have been deployed in the get-tough-on-crime movement," as author and law professor Michelle Alexander noted.
As reported last week, amid the crack epidemic a generation ago, state and federal lawmakers had enacted a wave of tough crime measures that resulted in a nearly 800% increase in the number of prisoners in the United States, even as the population grew by only a third.
The result? An increase in the number of African-American and Hispanic men convicted of drug crimes, with black men about six times as likely as white men to be incarcerated.
Or in the vernacular we used back in the day when fighting against these discriminatory laws, "Crack is used in the streets, cocaine in the suites." And yet, one had to get caught with 100 times more powder cocaine than crack to get the same sentence.
I call that racist. Even in the Obama era, although President Obama initially campaigned on a one-to-one ratio in this area of sentencing, what he signed into law in 2010 was 18-to-1. Better, but not nearly good enough.
The attorney general chose the right place to make his announcement. In California the impact these draconian laws have had on prison overcrowding and related issues is front page news almost daily. The once "Golden State" has been ordered to release nearly 10,000 inmates from its overcrowded prisons by the end of the year to resolve a problem of "cruel and unusual punishment" that's been brewing for years due to, what else? You guessed it, an overly aggressive increase in sentencing.
So, with all of this data, why so long for this major shift on crime? The answers are plentiful but the motive may be singular.
I would like to believe that it's about a shift in our morals; that our nation has finally come to the conclusion that being the world's leader on lockdowns is neither socially sustainable nor a just way to treat fellow citizens. But, alas, I'm not that naive.
It's about money. Pure and simple. As a nation, we have a habit every bit as addictive as the habits of many of the folk we've locked away. We've been addicted to the drug of incarceration, and now we can no longer afford our expensive habit. Things are "breaking bad" for us too. Time for rehab.
Of course, like most addictions, this habit won't be easy to break. But let's hope this time around we get the help we need and come to our senses about how to better spend our dollars.

Arrested about 8:30 p.m. Monday were Michael Duane Daniel, 44, of Fairfield; William A. "Trey" Davidson III, 37, of Teague and Tanja Marie Lee, 37, of Mexia. The three were arrested after game wardens and other officers searched a residence about two miles southeast of Teague on FM 1451 in Freestone County.
All three were charged with hindering the apprehension of a fugitive and possession of methamphetamine. Tuesday morning they remained in the Freestone County Jail in Fairfield. No bond had been set.
At 3:15 p.m. Monday, game wardens arrested 45-year-old Teddy Wayne Davenport of Mart on two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and one charge of evading arrest.
The charges against Davenport stem from an incident Saturday that began when two game wardens attempted to stop a pickup truck that was being driven without headlights. The driver of the truck rammed the state vehicle the wardens were in, and when the wardens pursued it, someone in the truck shined a spotlight on the wardens and their vehicle veered off the roadway and struck a culvert.
One warden was hospitalized, the other treated at the scene.
Multiple agencies were involved in the investigation and subsequent arrests, including deputies from the McLennan, Leon, Limestone and Freestone county sheriff's departments, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the U.S. Marshall's Service and the Teague Police Department.

Geographically Correct County Map of the States Traversed by the Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe Railroad. St. Louis: Woodward, Tiernan & Hale, 1877.
Catalog Record | Enlarge Image | Adopt a Book Home
This timetable for the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe Railroad includes on one side details of scenic highlights, information on connections, and listings of land for sale. The other side provides a (somewhat compressed) route map complete with an image of trains traversing the Great Plains. The line was chartered in 1859 but did not reach the Kansas/Colorado border until 1873 due to work stoppages associated with the Civil War. In the 1870s, the line moved passengers, cattle, coal and supplies to and from Colorado and northern New Mexico.

10K Filing Suggests Grim Outlook for SCO 149
dacarr writes "SCO has filed their 10K with the SEC — and according to this, their own assessment of the company's outlook is pretty grim. As usual, PJ of Groklaw has a good synopsis of the filing highlights. In short, it boils down to one thing: unless there's a miracle, even SCO doesn't think they're going to come out of this. 'As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. While operating as debtors-in-possession under the protection of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements, in the ordinary course of business, or, if outside the ordinary course of business, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. In addition, under the priority scheme established by the Bankruptcy Code, unless creditors agree otherwise, post-petition liabilities and prepetition liabilities must be satisfied in full before stockholders are entitled to receive any distribution or retain any property under a plan of reorganization.'"

Stand by to Beach is a WWII book about the Normandy landings written by Gordon Holman published in December 1944. It includes quite a few photographs.
I have quite a few books like this, and what I like about them is the immediacy of it all. If you think of the technology involved then in writing and printing a book, they must have been going hammer and tongs to get this one out for Christmas. In a way it's a terrible read, not particularly coherent, quite jingoistic, etc, etc.. but I still love it. It's what makes it good. The cover screams buy me, I am full of hot action.
What is also good is that books like this don't get the recognition deserve as pieces of history. I bought this about 3 years ago in a antiques centre for £4. So if you want to collect these books in the UK, they are still cheap.
