PandoMonthly Presents: A Fireside Chat with Elon Musk
Thursday, July 12, 2012 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
I have been wanting to do a PandoMonthly event in LA for months now.
LA's startup scene is at the most pivotal point in its nascent, up-and-down history. It's tumultuous to say the least. You have rocket ship companies with uncertain futures, wildly over-valued series A rounds, one-time leaders suddenly shutting down product and sleeper companies that eschew the press, all the while putting up big numbers.
It's an ecosystem that people both over-estimate and under-estimate at the same time, and I want to spend more time there.
But even if I was utterly bored by everything going on in LA, I'd make the trek down just to interview Elon Musk on stage. Part James Bond villain, part Tony Stark saving the world, Musk defies any normal entrepreneur mold. His brand of entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. He frequently describes entrepreneurship as "standing on the edge of the abyss chewing broken glass."
People have been harassing our staff all morning about them. They will go quickly.
Musk was a co-founder of PayPal and has since out performed much of the PayPal mafia. That's saying something, considering that group spawned a bevy of Web giants like LinkedIn, Yelp, and YouTube and invested in most of the other big ones. PayPal co-founders Peter Thiel and Max Levchin were considered controversial to invest in consumer Internet companies back in the early 2000s, while most investors were still crouching in a post-NASDAQ crash fetal position.
If that was a little crazy, Musk should be institutionalized: He invested $180 million of his fortune (read: most of it) in a rocket company and an electric car company.
But although Tesla and SpaceX were the most risky, they've arguably been the most world-changing and may prove to be the most successful. Musk had a pretty good 2010 when Tesla went public. It's now valued just north of $3 billion today. But he had an even more impressive 2012 with the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket, kicking off a new private sector space race and reinvigorating the sex appeal of space travel for a new generation.
There are few more controversial, impressive, and inspiring entrepreneurs in the world we could interview on the planet.
Because Musk is making time in his very -- very-- busy schedule for us, we only have him for an hour. The fireside chat will start promptly at 6 pm at Cross Campus in Santa Monica. Doors open at 5 pm for the usual pizza, beer and networking. As usual, we'll live stream the event and have the full video on the site a few days later.
We hope to see you there, LA!

A promise from Florida's public universities not to raise tuition next year is being received well by students.
"It's a bold move and I hope that we can achieve it," said FSU Junior Logan Opsahl.
The promise comes with the caveat that lawmakers increase university funding by 118 million dollars.
"We as a public university system kind of live and die by what the lawmakers do and hopefully they can get sort of a reality check and understand that they are a product of a public education system," said Opsahl.
The announcement comes as FSU and UF continue to pursue a bill that would allow the two schools to raise tuition above the 15% annual cap.
The plan would set FSU and UF apart as Florida's top research institutions. Besides tuition authority the schools would also be held to higher standards and have loftier goals. Both school presidents say if the bill passes next year they'll set standards, but won't raise tuition.
"We need those metrics. We need to help universities be successful. All of us are saying even with that set up lets not increase tuition," said Dr. Eric Barron with FSU.
State lawmakers call it a tough sell, vowing NOT to raise tuition while asking for unbridled tuition authority.
"I think it would be very difficult to do that because the whole basis of those universities moving forward with the plan is a significant increase in tuition. Now if they can do that it's wonderful, but I think it's a tough, tough haul for them," said Senate Bill Monford.
Lawmakers passed a bill last year that would have given the schools control over their own tuition rates, but Governor Rick Scott vetoed it.
Governor Scott is also opposing all tuition increases this year, but state lawmakers aren't ready to take the option off the table.

CHANGED parking time limits apply just in time for Christmas. The two-hour parking trial begins today in sections of the Port Macquarie CBD.
It comes after Port Macquarie Chamber of Commerce and businesses raised concerns with Port Macquarie-Hastings Council.
Some operators felt one-hour sensor monitored parking hurt their businesses. Parking spots changed from one hour to two hours are in Hay Street from Sunset Parade to Clarence Street; Clarence Street from Short Street to Horton Street; Short Street from Clarence Street to Barracks Lane; and Horton Street from Hayward and William streets.
That gives motorists parked in those areas more time to browse shops in the CBD.
MAYOR Peter Besseling said parking sensors made people more aware of the parking time limits. But there have been no time limit changes - until now.
"It's important to understand this is a trial, the results of which will be monitored and go into the mix for the broader parking strategy," Cr Besseling said.
"The trial seems to be very well received but it's important to get that feedback through the period of the trial and to make sure it's considered in the broader scheme of things."
Residents and visitors are encouraged to share their parking experiences on the council's community engagement portal www.pmhclistening.com.au/parkingtrial
Port Macquarie Chamber of Commerce executive officer Lisa McPherson said the chamber made it a priority to liaise with the council on the issue and she welcomed the trial.
"We hope it will ease parking concerns from the business community," she said.
"The chamber agrees it needs to be an ongoing review process and looks forward to finding solutions that meet the needs of our community.
"The solution needs to take into account the needs of businesses, residents and visitors."
Council rangers will monitor parking flow during the peak holiday period.
The sensors and the community will be information sources too.
Cr Besseling said data from the trial would assist in council's overall review of the parking strategy by providing real time data on turnover, occupancy rate and business implications.
The council will weigh up the trial as part of the overall parking strategy review within the next six months.

ST. CHARLES – Pheasant Run Resort's restaurant, Harvest, has a casual-sophisticated charm, alluring guests with its extensive wine list and gourmet meals made with fresh Midwestern ingredients.
Pheasant Run recently hosted a Fall Harvest Celebration, an open-house-style menu tasting in honor of executive chef Josef Yurisich's fall menu. Falling in line with the restaurant's "Farm-to-Fork"-themed cuisine, items such as Pumpkin Bisque ($8), Salted Roasted Beet Salad ($9), Slow Braised Lamb Shank ($26), and Pumpkin Tiramisu ($8) grace chef Josef's fall menu.
The open house invite promised a sprawling smorgasbord of "gourmet creations" that included Pheasant Schnitzel, Citrus Crusted Salmon and Oysters Rockefeller. In turn, my dining companion and I showed up with empty belly's and open minds, eager to get our taste buds working overtime to conquer the high volume of dishes that needed devouring. It was a tough job, but we were up for the challenge.
Making a lap around the lounge and restaurant before committing to a location, we began our descent into caloric overload with the Cinnamon Apple French Toast with peach and mascarpone compote drizzled with syrup. The compote added a creaminess to the crunch of the toast. The sweet decadence danced in my mouth as I reverberated the traditional "mmmmm" in approval.
"This would make a great dessert dish," I said to my dining companion, as I scraped the residual compote from my plate.
We shuffled down to the seafood station next, sampling the Citrus Crusted Salmon ($26) with stir-fried vegetables and soy maple glaze. The soy glaze gave the salmon an Asian-infused flair, and the ginger played nicely with the rest of the dish's components.
Oysters Rockefeller elicited a, "Whoa," from my dining companion, who loved the heavy spinach and Pernod Hollandaise Glaze coupling.
Rainy weather that evening had me craving comfort food, which I found in spades with the Pheasant Schnitzel ($28). Buttered spatzle and lemon caper glaze decorated with marble-sized German dumplings on top served my needs (maybe not my waistline) well.
Perusing the salad bar with the golden rule of food-tastings and buffet-style eating in mind, I steered clear of fillers like bread and salad, and in turn got to sample more of the higher-ticket items. I did, however, sample the salad toppers, which included a Mesquite Seared Smoked Duck (a "Farm-to-Fork" feature at $13), which I layered with a generous amount of Creole Mustard Aioli; and a nut-crusted goat cheese on the side. In general, cheese needs no interruption – which is why I decided to sample it a la carte. Biting into the hunk of cheese like an apple, the ratio of sweet to salty (one of my favorite flavor profiles) garnered a subsequent "mmm."
We also sampled the Pumpkin Bisque with spiced marcona almonds, chipotle creme and a lavender honey drizzle as well as the Bookbinder Soup, a roasted seafood broth with Sherry infused snapper. We both preferred the Bookbinder soup but enjoyed the pumpkin bisque's seasonality.
Before ending on the Risotto that evening, we sampled more meat – this time the Trio Pepper Crusted Bison Strip Loin. A generous layering of pepper gave the Bison Strip Loin a flavorful punch that teamed nicely with the juiciness of the meat.
Normally Risotto is cooked as a primo, or first course, served before the main course in Italian kitchens, but on our culinary conquest, we saved it for last.
With Risotto, I usually live by the phrase "less is more." However, Harvest's Risotto came with a mix of roasted mushrooms, asparagus, sun-dried cranberries and smoked gouda. I found it a tad too complex for its own good, but enjoyed the colorful components of the dish.
However, my dining companion disagreed, and would have unabashedly asked for seconds if not for the fortress of food staking claim on my dining companion's upper abdomen.
In my eyes, the Harvest celebration proved a success, and as a first-timer to the restaurant, its lounge-like decadence, impeccable service and varied menu, made me realize I won't have to go very far to get away from it all.
Address: 4051 E. Main St., St. Charles

Hours: The Harvest lounge is open from 5 to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thurs-

Android Windows Dual-Boot
Unveiled at CES in January, the ViewPad 10pi from ViewSonic came to the CRN Test Center ready to boot either Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) or Windows 7 Professional. It's the first device to come through the lab with Intel's Oak Trail Z670 tablet processor.
Formerly code-named Lincroft, the Oak Trail Z670 is a 32-bit, single-core (two-thread) 1.5GHz Atom processor with integrated GPU. Anxious to get a bead on the new processor's performance relative to other Windows systems we've tested, we booted Windows first. The 32-bit version of Geekbench 2.27 turned in an unimpressive top score of 790; even the slowest of laptops should approach 4,000.

Australia's ambitious mission in India has gone off the rails after only four days.
A demoralising defeat in the first Test at the M.A.Chidambaram Stadium was all but confirmed late on Monday afternoon on a wicket that turned, for the hosts' spin bowlers anyway, like a Mafia informant.
Even Michael Clarke, the most cultured player of spin, was unable to survive too long as local hero Ravi Ashwin, continuing his love affair at home, collected a dozen.
With his partners in crime, Harbhajan Singh and Ravindra Jadeja, also having a field day, the Australian order duly crumbled.
The visitors crept into a fifth day at 9-232, a lead of 40, at stumps on Monday, with a stubborn Moises Henriques (75 not out) refusing to give in.
But almost certainly Australia will fall 1-0 behind in a four-match series they had entered with every hope of winning. The campaign is not ruined yet but it will be a long way back, particularly in this part of the world.
They can take some heart from England's exploits on the subcontinent last year – Alastair Cook's side fell 1-0 behind then before marching back to triumph 2-1. But an Australian series victory, only achieved once in India in the past 40 years, seemed the stuff of fantasy as their frailties against spin were exposed on Monday.
There were ominous signs of what was to come when India, having taken a first-innings lead of 192 thanks largely to M.S.Dhoni's momentous 224, opened the bowling with Ashwin and Singh.
It took until the final half-hour for them to use a seamer, Ishant Sharma in Australia's second dig, with anything but spin rendered surplus to requirements. If the pitch prepared in Hyderabad on Saturday is anything like this dustbowl they may as well ditch their quicks altogether and roll out a couple of extra batsmen.
There will be intense pressure on Australia to make changes as well. After being hammered by Dhoni, there were already question marks about Australia's attack. Now, there are comparable ones about the batsmen's ability to combat spin. An advance party of players were sent to India almost three weeks ago for that very reason: to adjust to the intricacies of facing slow bowling on subcontinent goat tracks. Others came over to practise bowling on it, and play around with reverse swing.
The batting was anything but convincing, even acknowledging the demons the curator had planted in Chennai, where India have not lost since 1999. Clarke can hardly be faulted. His first-innings century was followed by an unfortunate exit for 31 on Monday, out leg-before to an Ashwin ball that skipped out of the rough so lowly that it just about grazed his toes. Maybe he shouldn't have been cutting at it but Clarke was at least playing his shots. Nor could there be criticism of Henriques. A second fifty in his debut Test helped Australia avoid the ignominy of an innings defeat and his resistance and craft was admirable as he squeezed as much out of the tail as he could.
There is less confidence elsewhere. Shane Watson, promoted to opener with David Warner battling gastroenteritis, was intent on using his rich experience in India to be Clarke's main support here. After going on the attack early, he was the first out, however, caught at slip as the ball reared up, clipping the bat's shoulder and veering to the slips.
It is now 35 Test innings since Watson reached three figures – on Australia's last tour of India, in late 2010. With his bowling on fitness-enforced hiatus, the heat will only intensify on him to prove his value as a batsman only, let alone as a Test opener, where he wants to play full-time.
Among the others, Ed Cowan (32) and David Warner (23), dragging himself out at No.3, could only hang around for so long, while Phil Hughes' forgettable Test was capped when he was struck on the glove, without scoring, by a heat-seeking high bouncer from Jadeja.
There was more bad news for Australia on Monday night, with reserve seamer Jackson Bird sent home for scans on a back injury.

Start with one large, whole salmon, and observe as Julia and Jacques transform the fish into Salmon Tartar and "Instant Gravlax." This, of course, is prelude to baking the salmon in an "only Julia can get away with it" bicycle pump inflated parchment papillote (bag). For those cooking solo, they also demonstrate how to filet and then roast fresh salmon, served with a garnish of snow peas and tomatoes.

Do you like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? Then come on in, my friend!
For those of you who don't follow MLB (which I know is the vast majority of you) something very special happened today, besides the end of the regular season. For the first time since 1967 a player has won the triple crown in batting (most homers in the league, most RBIs in the league, and best batting average) and thankfully for me that player just so happens to play for the Detroit Tigers. Miguel Cabrera hit 44 home runs this season, had 139 RBI's (runs batted in), and had a batting average of .330 this season which basically means that he is going to hit about a third of the stuff you through at him and seeing as the stuff that is thrown typically exceeds speeds of 80 mph and is about the size of an orange id say thats pretty impressive.
Babe Ruth never got a triple crown, this guy did.
Anyway as I mentioned before the regular season is over, and the playoffs are set. On Friday there will be two wildcard games, each will be a one game series. The winner of the Oriels Rangers game will go on to face the Yankee's in a traditional 7 game series. The winner of the Braves Cardinals game will go on to play the Nationals. Also the other first round match-ups in the playoffs are Tigers v A's and Giants v Red's.
Ah, baseball, a fine sport. Congratulations Miguel Cabrera on winning the Triple Crown.
Indeed it is, and this is by far the best time of the season. Gotta love October
If you follow football, you should understand this.
Hey that baseball thing-a-ma-jig is still happening! Even though the Tigers and the Giants both won their respective the big story coming up tonight is baltimore. In the top of the 13th the Orioles scored the winning run against the Yankee's and have forced a finial game five.
Game 5 will be played tomorrow in the Bronx at 5
Also the Nationals forced a game five against the Cardinals. They will be playing tomorrow at 8:30.
The Tigers are 1 win away from a trip to the world series. So yeah, Im pumped.
The Detroit Tigers have swept the Yankee's and are now heading to the world series. *woo hoo*
lol the Jets.
You didn't have to yell so loud. Look, you cracked my computer screen.
After this weekend of football, it has been decided which teams will be in the NFL championships.
It will be the San Francisco 49ers vs The Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship, and the New England Patriots vs the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship.
With that being said, who do you want/think will win the AFC/NFC championship and move onto the Superbowl?
As much as I dislike them, Pats will win it all. No Eli to stop their dominance this year, and their defense is far more aggressive and potent than in years past. Baltimore will give them a fight, but I don't think it will be enough to stop them. Atlanta and San Fran is a toss-up, but whoever moves on I don't believe will give the Pats much to worry about.
I'm not really a sports guy, but my team is the 49ers. I hope they can do something right with their games.

UN Special Envoy Warns of Growing HIV Epidemics Among Marginalized Groups in Eastern Europe
November 4, 2013
"Health care systems in Eastern Europe and Central Asia remain woefully unable to cope with HIV/AIDS as the region's raging epidemic -- the fastest growing in the world -- takes on a new dimension, a senior UN official has told [Inter Press Service]," the news service reports (Stracansky, 11/4). "HIV epidemics are becoming more concentrated in marginalized groups such as sex workers, drug users and gay men, and could defy global attempts to combat AIDS if attitudes do not change, [Michel Kazatchkine, UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Eastern Europe] said," Reuters writes, noting "he would like to be able to celebrate without reservation global progress made in the past decade, but stubborn infection rates and alarming growth of outbreaks in hard-to-reach populations make that difficult" (Kelland, 11/4).
"Until now the Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) epidemic had been driven by injection drug use. But data and anecdotal evidence has shown a strong rise in the spread of the disease through heterosexual transmission as well as via men who have sex with men -- potentially throwing up a new set of challenges for governments and health care ministers," according to IPS. However, Kazatchkine "says ⦠until a new approach to treating the disease is taken in countries worst affected by it, the response to the epidemic will continue to be poor and largely ineffective," the news service writes, adding, "International bodies have urged countries in the region to adopt harm reduction programs, including needle exchanges and drug substitution therapy, which are recommended best practice in the West as a front-line measure to help prevent the spread of the disease" (11/4). "Kazatchkine called for a 'shift in the collective mindset' to put equity and human rights at the center of the battle against HIV in these groups," according to Reuters (11/4).

By SARA TOTH STUB
JERUSALEM -- Market worries over the future development of Israel's energy sector eased Wednesday after government officials approved the export of 40% of the natural gas from the country's offshore Leviathan reserve, opening the way for an inflow of billion of dollars into the economy.
"Today is a lucky day for the state of Israel," said Finance Minister Yair Lapid at a press conference. "The gas is no less than a miracle." He added the exports will bring in $60 billion for the economy over 20 years.
Energy and Water Resources Minister Silvan Shalom said: "It is the right decision. The country's educational and health systems...will benefit from it."
The decision, made by a group of ministers, is expected to get government cabinet approval next week. Nevertheless, it has its critics. Environmental Protection Minister Amir Peretz said he is concerned that it jeopardizes Israel's long-term energy security.
In the last decade, there have been several large gas discoveries in Israel, including the Leviathan field, which contains an estimated 19 trillion cubic feet of gas. The export quota doesn't apply to the smaller Tamar field, which contains about 9 trillion cubic feet of gas, much of it already committed to domestic companies.
Before the announcement, there was some fear in the market that if Israel didn't grant permission to export a significant amount of gas, the few foreign firms working here -- that have been instrumental in developing the industry -- would leave.
"This announcement means foreign companies can go ahead with the development of the Leviathan field," said Steven Shein, a trader at Psagot Investment House in Tel Aviv.
Australia's Woodside Petroleum recently signed an agreement to acquire a 30% stake in Leviathan. The other major foreign player in Israel's emerging natural gas sector is Houston-based Noble Energy, which holds large stakes in the Leviathan, Tamar and other fields.
The gas, and the potential for exporting it, has been exerting upward pressure on the Israeli currency, the shekel, lately. The central bank lowered the interest rate twice in May, once in an unscheduled move, to try to weaken the shekel. The bank also announced it would buy $2 billion on the open market in the next 6 months to try to weaken the shekel. A shekel that is too strong could hurt Israel's export-dependent economy by making its products less competitive abroad, the bank has said. Dow Jones Newswires

"that my name be inscribed in plain English letters on my tomb. I rest my claims to the remembrance of my country upon my published works..."
A small stone with a simple inscription, as dictated in his will, marks the grave of Charles Dickens, famous English novelist, in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.
Born in Portsmouth, England, on February 7, 1812, Charles was the second of eight children of John Dickens and Elizabeth (Barrow). He spent most of his childhood in London. In 1824 his father was arrested for debt and young Charles had to work in a shoe-polish factory until he could resume his education. Later he became a legal clerk and then a reporter in the House of Commons. He married Catherine Hogarth in 1836, and they had ten children before separating in 1858. He started writing short stories at the age of 24 and continued to write until his death. His books brought attention to the poverty and social injustices of the working classes and poor people in hopes of bringing about social change.
Two prayers by Charles Dickens:
We humbly beseech thee O Father that we may be honest and true in all our dealings, and gentle and merciful to the faults of others, remembering of how much gentleness and mercy we stand in need ourselves; That we may earnestly try to live in thy true faith, honour and love, and in charity and goodwill with all our fellow creatures; That we may worship thee in every beautiful and wonderful thing thou hast made, and sympathize with the whole world of thy glorious creation. Amen.
Hear our supplications on behalf of the poor, the sick, the destitute, and guilty, and for thy blessing on the diffusion of increased happiness, knowledge, and comfort among the great mass of mankind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

If you want to sell a car and you have plenty of money to buy other cars and your garage isnt full, then go and buy really cheap cars like the Lancia Delta or the Lotus Esprit or any other car until your garage space is full then go buy a car you want then sell the cheap cars you just bought aswell as the car you originally wanted to sell. :)

Why did you mention that someone has a low-paying job and lives paycheck to paycheck?
The extra information doesn't matter to me - Stepmother committed herself to being at a certain place at a certain time. She then backed out. That's on her. It is in no way unreasonable to expect people to keep the plans they voluntarily made.
I think that Lita was rude for cancelling on you like she did. However, I am also seeing you as unreasonable -- and actually, downright judgmental. (Why did you mention that someone has a low-paying job and lives paycheck to paycheck? Why did you not arrange something for yourself pre-made you could take in that day and everyone else enjoy Chinese?) I am surprised she agreed to spend time away from traveling family in the first place too, that's important.

That's on her. It is in no way unreasonable to expect people to keep the plans they voluntarily made.Yup. This. I agree that it is understandable that Lita and her family wanted to spend all of Christmas together. But Lita had made other plans. Plans that she cancelled less than two days before the gathering, not really leaving anyone any time to make major changes, or to plan, shop for and cook a more traditional Christmas meal. Don't forget that the OP is not the host of the Christmas Day gathering--she might have wanted to change the menu, but someone else (her dad? her grandmother?) was the host for Christmas Day. So Lite arranged the OP's family Christmas celebration to suit her, including the food, and then cancelled shortly before the event. I think this is what is bothering the OP--if Lita had said earlier that she wasn't going to be there Christmas Day, the plans would have been much different. Her last minute cancellation left the family with Lita's plans, but no Lita. Understandable? Maybe. Rude? Yes. Also note that the OP's father left his family on Christmas Eve to spend it with Lita's family. When it came down to it, Lita did not give him the same consideration.
I don't really get a lot of this. My most prevailing thought is I'd be pretty thrilled if my dad's wife decided to stay with her kids Christmas Day and leave my dad just to us. And, they've been married for years and I've known her forever. But, sometimes, you just wish it could be just the immediate family. Being upset that Dad's girlfriend stayed home wouldn't even register with me. Other than that...I can absolutely understand Lita's family having a fit when they found out the plan was for their mother to leave them to go off with her BOYFRIEND on Christmas Day. It would have been the same fit I would have thrown if my dad had pulled that. Especially if I'd traveled all the way across the country.I also don't understand why when Lita suggested Chinese no one said, "well, I'm not crazy about Chinese...what about..." I especially don't understand why when two days before Christmas when she pulled out, no one said, "hey since Lita isn't coming and Chinese was her idea...let's get something else. How about....?"I really don't entirely understand why the OP is upset. It honestly sounds more about the Chinese food than Lita not coming. Unless the OP was genuinely disappointed she didn't get to spend time with Lita on Christmas Day, I think you should just let it go.
I think it was silly of her to make plans with your family in light of her kids coming to town - she probably rarely sees them, and probably even more rarely all together, not to mention they were house guests. So to me her 'fail' was ever thinking she'd come to your family's gathering and especially for saying it. I think to an extent your family was a bit naive to think she should come to your family as well. I think though once she said she was coming and then bailed, yes you are justified in being a bit hurt... but I think you should let it go and forgive her.As for Chinese take-out, yes lots of people Jewish and otherwise, have it on Christmas. If you don't like it, why didn't you suggest some other sort of take-out (you can get a deli or grocery or even Boston Market to do a more 'traditional' type meal to go), or suggest a potluck of sorts, with each household bringing one component of dinner? I'm betting everyone went with Chinese because it was the best suggestion made - if you'd made a better suggestion they might have went with that.

"I couldn't find the french bread so I used a tube of pizza crust. We found this to be quick, easy and delicious. I would recommend patting the roasted red peppers dry or REALLY draining them well. Feel free to use a mix of ham and salami. Taking time to brush the crust with melted butter made it very pretty."
"Family loved it. easy to assemble."
"good taste. I have cooked this twice and both times the bread in the middle is still dough"
"Delicious. The french bread unrolled ok for me, used the Pillsbury one. I left out the pimientos as well and spread some pesto over the top."
"Made just like the recipe - and it was excellent. There are soooo many things you could do to make this recipe your own, or just whatever you are in the mood for. Its a keeper!"
"My mother and I have made a recipe almost identical to this for years minus the pimientos (or olives, as some have substituted). Don't think we'd care for that part anyway! But yes, I had the same problem over and over with the French bread not wanting to unroll right. So I started using crescent roll dough instead--pinching the seams. Now you can buy the seamless roll of crescent roll dough which also works very well. However, I often double it because it is rather thin and I sometimes have trouble with the fillings poking through! But it is very yummy with crescent dough and any kinds of fillings!"
"My kids loved this! It is a very versatile recipe. Next time I might try adding garlic powder and even pizza sauce. Thanks for the recipe!"
"Very easty to assemble and it tasted great!!"
"This was very good and simple to make. The only problem I had was that the French loaf dough was simply not enough to spread out. After growing frustrated with that, I substituted refrigerated pizza dough instead. That worked splendidly! The next time I make it, I think I will sprinkle the top with garlic salt as well. It was very good and simple. I will definitely make it again!"

I wonder what they will change. The amendment or make the use of these illegal.
These are the 98 U.S. senators for voted in favor of the US Patirot Act of 2001 (Senator Landrieu (D-LA) did not vote) Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin was the only senator who voted against the Patriot Act on October 24, of 2001.
Out of all the members, only 2 people didn't vote in favor of it. Yeah, sounds like a lot of opposition...
Yes, there were a few members of congress who voted against it, but if you really look at it, they simply wanted to opposed just about everything Bush was in favor of. They didn't make a conscious decision against it based on a constitutional point that they evaluate all their bills with, they saw that it was one of Bush's main points and voted against it.
And I don't proclaim that "all hope is lost" I continue to vote but in most cases with the exception of local elections the people who I vote for don't win because the vast majority of America is so entwined in the two party system that they completely miss the point and instead vote for parties that are two sides of the same coin and only disagree on insignificant issues.
No, just construct a specious argument that the Constitution/Amendment doesn't apply to this case. And ensure over time that the group of gentlefolk who get to strike down unconstitutional laws agree suspiciously often with you.
That's how the US government's got away with it to now.
The founding fathers never intended the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution to give the federal government the kind of power that it now uses the Commerce Clause as justification for. The whole point of the clause was to ensure that the states would be able to trade freely with one another and to ensure that the federal government could initiate trade with other countries and to allow the Indian tribes to have free trade with the states and federal government. The act does not say anything about allowing the federal government to regulate trade within a states borders, or interfere in people private lives (drug war, indecency laws, educational standards, minimum drinking age, etc). It is the sole basis of the federal governments claimed power to declare the war on drugs (a failed war that will never end), nobody seems to remember that alcohol prohibition took a constitutional amendment to begin and to end.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause#Text_and_pairing [wikipedia.org]
Article I, Section 8, Clause 3:
" [The Congress shall have power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes; "
The Commerce Clause Power is often amplified by the Necessary and Proper Clause which states this Commerce Clause power, and all of the other enumerated powers, may be implemented by the power "To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." The Necessary and Proper Clause is the final clause of Article I, section 8. It must be noted, however, that the Constitution is more clear about the role of the Congress vis-a-vis interstate commerce in Article I, Section 9, Clauses 1, 5 and 6, though the interpretation of Section 8 and Section 9 could depend on the circumstances presented by specific cases-
"If" it violates an amendment?
In my uninformed (IANAL, etc.) opinion, this looks quite similar to--and if anything more egregious than--the circumstances in Kyllo v. United States [wikipedia.org], in which use of thermal imaging to look inside a private home was ruled unconstitutional without a warrant.
I wonder what they will change. The amendment or make the use of these illegal.
I'm reasonably sure this is already prohibited by the 4th Amendment, as interpreted by SCOTUS. In Kyllo v. U.S. http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=15840045591115721227&hl=en&as_sdt=2&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr [google.com], the Court held: "obtaining by senseenhancing technology any information regarding the interior of the home that could not otherwise have been obtained without physical "intrusion into a constitutionally protected area," constitutes a search-- at least where (as here) the technology in question is not in general public use." (A discussion of how the protection of a car differs from a house, legally, is beyond the scope of this post
You're correct that a precedent has been set. The evidence can't be used in court and information gathered in such a manner can not be used as probably cause by itself. An anonymous tip about a car bomb in the area would be sufficient cause to do this non-invasive search and act upon whatever they find. Regardless, this ruling does not inhibit their ability to look for car bombs from a safety standpoint - they just have legal complications if they want to prosecute.
Also note that the intended purpose is

I'm reasonably sure this is already prohibited by the 4th Amendment, as interpreted by SCOTUS.
They won't change the amendment, they'll just ignore it, and SCOTUS will continue to water down these protections as they have been doing for the last 10 years.
Although I'm not a conservative, I wish that they really stood for limited government (the military, police power, etc.) like they proclaim, and not just for limiting the parts that they don't like (Social Security, Medicaid, etc.). I'd respect them a whole lot more if they did.
Neither. If no one is allowed to wear clothes, then there is no "peeking under clothes" law being broken. Look for a "Only terrorists wear clothing" slogan on a billboard near you.
Now that's one "war on terror" fear inspired law that I could get behind 100%. Although I would offer an amendment that only females under 35 and weighing under 150 pounds would be forced to comply. All other compliance would be voluntary to show that you weren't hiding anything. I would also be in favor of selective enforcement by the mostly male police force. I think they could figure out for themselves who the most "egregious offenders" were. Any pretty girl who is clothed is an abomination. It has to st
only females under 35 and weighing under 150 pounds
At least someone's thinking of the (female) children!
For everyone else, there's NAMBLA Card.
I have no idea why I just typed that.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to post this anyway just as an experiment to see how I get modded.
Also, this is, "If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide!" taken to its inevitable conclusion.
So I agree with you, except that it should compulsion should only apply to the families of those who support such government "protection".
Because who wins out when the only way to protect
Neither. If no one is allowed to wear clothes, then there is no "peeking under clothes" law being broken. Look for a "Only terrorists wear clothing" slogan on a billboard near you.
I'd feel sorry for the people living in the northern states come winter.
How many car bombs have we seen lately to justify these actions?
It's only a matter of time until false flag bombings or worse occur or is it, have occurred?
I don't believe a constitutional amendment has ever been amended. But I am seriously considering going to law school to find out.
Creating an amendment in the first place is difficult, and it only takes a very small population % to defeat a proposal.
I would imagine removing an amendment would be an order of magnitude more difficult, as the same small population % could defeat it. And after 219 years people have become partial to the first ten, as removing one of them would also invalidate the Bill of Rights
You are missing:
D) There is no need for a real incident. The first worked beyond Bin Laden's wildest dreams. All it needs to keep Americans locked up is the occassional shoe or underpants 'bomber'. The US politicians will then do all that is necessary to destroy America.
For once an AC that makes an insightful comment and me without mod points.
The terrorists have continued to win since 9/11 because they continue to successfully insight terror.
And every time you hear a call to accept this search or give up that privacy because if we don't then the terrorists win...don't bother, they just did.
The terrorists win every time we:
Add another search and seizure method.
Add anti-Muslim (or any religion) propaganda.
Fail to close our borders because of the addiction to cheap labor on the bottom end (illegals from the South) and the top end (I-9s). Note: The last terrorist caught was an I-9, taking a job an American can do.
Fuck around in some country without an active mission or path out. Iraq is now going to have its oil sucked out by the Russians and Chinese. Where is Bush's promise that the war wou
There have been THOUSANDS of terrorists attacks since 9/11, try Iraq and Afghanistan. What about Madrid and London? Those don't count? Because they don't strike were YOU claim they should strike? Here is a hint: THAT is how terrorism works. Strike ANYWHERE with the implied threat that it could happen ANYWHERE.
There have also been attempts on US targets, FOUR at least. (Shoe-bomber, nigerian via dutch airline, car on times-sqaure, fort hood shooting) 1 out of 4 succeeded. Stupid attemps? No, just unlucky on
Ok, how many "violations" have these scanners found that could be linked to something serious.
No doubt at least one, child pornography, since they chose not to test these x-ray vans on themselves, but on random samples of the general population instead. It's a very high probability that they've essentially strip-searched, recorded, and taken naked unauthorized snapshots of a number of random children.
This program must have been the bright idea of another Mark Foley pervert.
Law enforcement considers the beach based vans critically important to beach safety.
Who am I to argue? To all of you fools who believe it can't get any worse, I can only say, step outside the door. You haven't seen shit.
>Personally, I won't be flying again until some sanity has returned. Choosing between being assaulted with radiation or assaulted by TSA staff is not what I'd consider a reasonable function of government.
But isn't this what the gov wants? To have you stuck in the US and only fed their own views.
Aren't there electronic devices that can detect X-rays?
Perhaps they could be countered by emitting an EM burst or EMP in the direction X-rays were detected in.
With X-ray exposure, quantity is important. You don't need to be informed that you'll be exposed to X-rays when you fly in an airplane or turn on an incandescent bulb, but you are.
A doctor needs informed consent to do an X-ray because of the risk from radiation. Why do these people think that they can irradiate people just because they want to?
The shorter your lifespan, the less likely you are to be the victim of a terrorist. You're welcome.
I don't think it would be the first time that the US government do something harmful to its citizens:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_experimentation_in_the_United_States [wikipedia.org]
The presidential Secret Service will buy and use one of these. Wherever the president goes somewhere public, these scanners will be sweeping parking lots to pre-empt any possible dangers.
That's my prediction
I'm going to make x-ray resistant clothing and supply it free of charge to everyone in america.
Sure it might have a small side effect of being created with lead paint and turn your body into a microwave oven when they fire the xray in your direction. But just think of the look on the faces of the techs when they start to microwave innocent tax payers without their consent or knowledge and they drop dead. I might go as far to make pet clothing available but that has yet to be determined.
Hah! With the right aerials, i can top up my hybrid's battery as it is parked on the street.
Don't antennas generally need to be on roughly the same scale as the wavelength of the radiation they're interacting with? X-rays have nanometer-scale wavelengths.
As technical people, when we instil fear about something, people will listen.
Sure, right up until they figure out that we, like everyone else whom they thought they trust, have also been lying through our teeth. At that point they bring out the pitchforks, and rightfully so. Remember that old saw "we have seen the enemy, and he is us?" We have to be careful not to adopt too many of the tactics of those currently in power or we, in the end, are no better. The ends do not justify the means
The reason that lay people tend to trust those with knowledge is because they don't have the ability to tell if that educated person is lying or incompetent, and because of that have no choice but to hope the expert knows what the Hell he's talking about. We've all been in that position at one time or another in our lives: having to trust someone that knows substantially more than we do about something important to us. It's rarely a pleasant position to be in.
Are you really telling me that it's okay to deliberately lie to people, abuse their trust in a big way, simply because it's for their own good? Because we assume that it's for their own good? That's precisely what our government and our corporate leaders have been doing to us for years. So far as I'm concerned, if we're so far gone as a society that we can't fight this with reality, with facts, with what is, then We the People don't deserve to survive anyway. In any event, that's not a campaign of which I would choose to play a part. Furthermore, you will have to accept that there will be some deaths involved should you be successful in this, as people who might otherwise have received a medical X-ray or CT scan refuse them out of fear. There are always consequences to fearmongering and ignorance peddling.
That's true. I was very angry and did not think through the consequences of this idea.
Oh, make no mistake
Just think, perhaps a secret police scan while mom was pregnant is why the kid ended up autistic. Or got cancer. Won't the police please think of the children?
Send their radiation right back at 'em!
Seriously. If they ever start doing this, I *will* build something that will let me reflect it all back.
There may be a problem with that. I suggest reading up on the Chandra X-Ray Telescope [harvard.edu]. Long story short, because of the high energy, only shallow angles are used so the mirror in the telescope is more like a barrel.
...some clever bastard rigs up something that is triggered by an x-ray detector?
..."Google X-ray backscatter view". Germans are really going to love that one!
Spying on me without a warrant is a non-starter. But I personally would love some backup protection against accidentally leaving a young child in the vehicle on a hot day (before making snarky comments about Darwin Awards, read this Pulitzer prize winning article [washingtonpost.com]. It's not about intelligence. Just read it. Seriously.)
A couple of problems might be: (a) narrowing down the scope of the search such that society would both desire and trust the process, and (b) figuring out how to detect living, moving soft ti
SCOTUS ruled several years ago (and I'm too lazy to get a link to the ruling right now) that law enforcement could not use things like infrared and thermal imaging of a house to detect pot-growing operations without a warrant. Their ruling was something to the effect of "If a person can't see it from the street without using fancy equipment, it needs a warrant".
This is obviously different technology, but I fail to see how this would be any different in the eyes of SCOTUS and that ruling.
This is more intrusive than infrared imaging. In both methods, the user can "see" objects that they couldn't see without entering the house or searching the car. X-ray backscatter is an active method, though, sending X-rays at the target and measuring the results, rather than measuring radiation the target was emitting to begin with. I can't see how this will hold up in court, unless it's designed so that it can't "see" objects, but only "detect" very particular classes of objects (e.g., the presence of exp

May 2012 was second warmest on record. The warmest? 2010
Sgt. Joe Friday meets climatology: 'Just the facts, ma'am'
Posted in Science, 15th June 2012 01:01 GMT
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its monthly State of the Climate Global Analysis report for this May, and my, my, it's rather toasty out there: the month was the second warmest May since record-keeping began in 1880 – and the warmest was just two years ago.
That conclusion of the report refers to combined ocean and land temperatures during the month, which were 0.66°C (1.19°F) above last century's average of 14.8°C (58.6°F).
Up in the Northern Hemisphere, the combined land and sea temps made May 2012 a record month, at 0.85°C (1.53°F) above average. Globally, if you subtract the ocean from the average, it was the warmest May on record, at 1.21°C (2.18°F) above average.
You Reg readers in Oz, however, found yourselves in a cooling trend – when the sun went down, at least. Although daytime temperature were just about average, nighttime temps were -1.6°C to -2.9°F below average – the coolest since 1995 in South Australia and coolest since 2000 in Western Australia – making May the fifth coolest month overall since Australia began comprehensive record-keeping back in the late 1940s.
'Twas excessively balmy in much of the Northern Hemisphere, but cooler nights prevailed in Oz
Back in the States, however, "cool" wasn't on the agenda: taken together, the spring months were the warmest since full record-keeping began in 1895. Thirty-one eastern states had record warmth, and nationally the temperature was 2.9°C (5.2°F) above what NOAA call the country's "long-term average" – and those temps beat the previous record by a full 1.1°C.
Interestingly, although May 2010 barely edged out May 2012 for the global-warmth crown – and we do mean barely, with 2010 averaging just 0.05°C (0.09°F) warmer – May of that year was just coming off a nearly year-long El Niño warm period. This year, on the other hand, May was coming off a cooler La Niña phase.
Equally interesting – and while we're on the subject of La Niña – NOAA's calculations for the full period of January through May puts 2012 at only number 11 among years since 1880; 2010 was number one, and tied with 2005 for the warmest full year when December rolled around. However, since La Niña began to dissipate early this year, temperature anomalies have risen substantially.
Temperature anomalies are a convenient way of tracking temperature change over long periods of time
A temperature anomaly, by the way, is simply the difference between an actual temperature and a reference temperature. NOAA currently uses the 1901-2000 average as its main reference temperature for global and hemispheric anomalies, and 1971-2000 for select comparisons such as the one in the chart above. A good explanation of anomalies can be found here.
One caveat: NOAA notes that the numbers in the report are preliminary, and that "ranks and anomalies may change as more complete data are received and processed." In other words, it may have been hotter and it may have been colder – but likely not by much, and we'll have final data in good time. ®

China Wants Cyber Crisis Hotline 58
An anonymous reader writes "China should look at establishing a cyber crisis hotline with the United States, according to a Chinese newspaper seen as a window into official thinking. Discussions about a crisis hotline might seem an obvious first step in improving relations. But if it's a sign the Chinese government is beginning to think about how to coordinate a rapid, unified response to cyber emergencies, then it is an extremely important one."

CHAPEL HILL- Police officers and fire fighters have to respond to each and every security alarm in Chapel Hill, but the town's high rate of false alarms costs the departments and taxpayers nearly $200,000 each year.
Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris Blue told the Town Council on Monday that in just the past two months alone, more than 95 percent of the alarm calls his department has responded to have been accidental.
"Just between July 9 and September 4 of this year, the police department was dispatched to 567 total alarms. Only 25 of those turned out to be legitimate activations, so you can see the numbers speak for themselves there."
Depending on the type of alarm, the standard response usually involves two police officers or as many as 10 firefighters, fully one half of the available fire personnel on duty at any given time. Each false alarm call typically takes about 20 minutes to resolve.
Blue said prior efforts to reduce the number of false alarms have not been successful.
"For a number of years we've talked to the business community and neighborhood groups about the issue and about our interest in reducing those accidental false alarms," said Blue. "And I think the community gets it, but we have not been successful in reducing the numbers."
Instead, Blue is proposing a graduated fee system for business or home owners whose security systems repeatedly trigger false alarms.
The interest there is not to generate revenue, although there is an interest in at least recovering some of our costs," said Blue. "But we do know that other communities, when they have instituted a fee structure, have seen that as a more effective way to reduce activations than just sharing the problem with the community and appealing to them for their help."
Chapel Hill Fire Chief Dan Jones told the council this fee would apply to calls from UNC campus, as those account for a significant number of false alarms.
"We do respond to the university and it's a very high percentage," said Jones. "The university is about 30 to 34 percent of our workload, and our false alarm rate is about 30 percent of that call volume."
The exact fee system has yet to be determined, but Blue and Jones will return to the council with a proposal next month. The council will hold a public hearing on the proposed ordinance on October 28.

"The 300hp Evinrude E-TEC engine gives off-shore anglers and high-performance boating enthusiasts a new choice in low maintenance, low emission outboard power," says Roch Lambert, vice president and general manager, Outboard Marine Engines, BRP. "The 300hp carries the same three-year/300-hour benefit of no dealer scheduled maintenance, consistent with all Evinrude E-TEC engines. No other brand of outboard engine allows consumers to spend more time on the water," he continues. "We're confident that this unique benefit now delivered inthe 300-hp engine will enable the Evinrude brand to continue its strong growth in the market."Consumers will be able to experience the new 300hp Evinrude E-TEC engine when it debuts at the upcoming Miami International Boat Show this February."The international success of Evinrude E-TEC engines is incredible and it continues to change the industry," noted Michel Hade, vice president and general manager, BRP International Division. "The Evinrude brand has been a key driver of growth, resulting in increased profitability for our dealers, distributors and BRP, and aiding in the transition to cleaner emission products in many markets. As we continue to expand our state-of-the-art Evinrude line-up, we further define, through the E-TEC technology, world leading products that deliver the best recreational experience available," he concluded.With 3.4 liters of displacement, the engine offers more torque, low-end power and top speed than similar competitive two- and four-stroke outboard engines. This additional power allows boaters to plane heavy loads, pull skiers, wake boarders or tubers better than ever before.Additional torque is particularly beneficial for boating in high altitude areas and in hot climates. The Evinrude E-TEC 300hp wraps a big block two-stroke direct injection power plant in a compact, lightweight design that provides more performance than competitive engines at the same horsepower. An amazing high power to low weight ratio provides a host of advantages including greater fuel efficiency, less draft for improved boat handling, faster boat planing and less stress on the structural integrity of the boat transom.One of the biggest benefits of the unique Evinrude E-TEC technology is increased fuel economy and extended boating range. Performance testing has shown that the new 300hp engine can deliver as much as 35-40 percent improvement in fuel economy and 50 percent improvement in oil consumption when compared to traditional electronic fuel injection (EFI) models.The 300hp Evinrude E-TEC includes an all-new SLE Magnum high performance gearcase-the most durable V-6 gearcase BRP has ever made. Its hydrodynamic design increases speed and engine efficiency while providing superior control. A computer designed leading edge reduces the chance of weeds wrapping around the housing that could compromise cooling and performance. Secondary water inlets, located at the nose of the gearcase housing, provide improved cooling over a wider range of conditions. An innovative forward gear and bearing design increases strength and durability while movement and wear are greatly reduced with a new propshaft bearing carrier.The new Evinrude E-TEC 300hp engine is available in white 25- and 30-inch shaft models as well as counter-rotating models and carries BRP's unbeatable factory-backed three-year nondeclining warranty.Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), a privately-held company, is a world leader in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution and marketing of motorized recreational vehicles. Its portfolio of brands and products includes: Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, Sea-Doo watercraft and sport boats, Evinrude and Johnson outboard engines, direct injection technologies such as Evinrude E-TEC, Can-Am all-terrain vehicles and roadsters, Rotax engines and karts.

Skip to comments.Paediatrician to be Removed from Adoption Panel...(for not supporting gay adoption as "best option")
Posted on 07/27/2009 8:19:42 PM PDT by Maelstorm
A COMMUNITY paediatrician, with 18 years experience working with parents and children in Northamptonshire, is to be removed as a medical advisor to Northamptonshire County Council after asking to be able to abstain from voting on the 'rare' occasions when she would be asked to recommend children for adoption by same-sex couples.
Dr Sheila Matthews, who has been a medical advisor to the Adoption Panel for five years, believes her work is appreciated by social workers and all those involved with adoption in the county. She says: "I try to make fair and unbiased assessments and recommendations about the individuals who apply to adopt. My work involves preparing reports on the health of both children and adult applicants and giving advice on health issues to the Adoption Service. I am happy to carry out that role in full."
However, as a professional doctor for the past 28 years, and as a Christian, she believes that it is "inappropriate to place children in a household with same sex parents as the best option". She says: "Using my professional judgement and having done a lot of reading around the subject, I am satisfied that there are research findings which support my position that a same sex partnership is not the best family setting to bring up children. Therefore professionally and personally I cannot recommend placement in a same-sex household to be in the best interest of a child, despite what politicians may have legislated for, and as those on the Panel have a legal obligation to do what they believe is in the best interests of the child, then I cannot support a recommendation with which I do not agree. This conflicts with my professional, religious and personal integrity.
Dr Matthews decided that it was not appropriate to debate the broader religious, psychological and political issues of same sex adoption within the context of each individual application. She also does not wish to cause offence to any individual. She therefore sought what she thought to be a reasonable and appropriate compromise, and requested that in applications by same sex couples, she should to be allowed to abstain from voting (i.e. not vote yes or no ) on the recommendation. She was prepared to carry out all preparation of health reports required for Panel in an unbiased manner.
There would still be a majority vote at Panel so this would not hinder the rest of the Panel making a recommendation and the decision to approve applicants lies ultimately with a senior member of Social Services. The Head of Services for Children, Young People and Families, Martin Pratt, after a meeting on April 22, wrote to Dr Matthews advising she could no longer continue in her role as a panel member and that another medical advisor should be identified. Dr Matthews, from Kettering, has asked for advice and support from the high-profile Christian Legal Centre, which has instructed leading Human Rights barrister, Paul Diamond, to represent Dr Matthews.
Andrea Minichiello Williams, barrister and director of the CLC said: "This is a further example of how a well respected professional who holds conscientious views on sexual practice, informed by Christian faith, is being asked to choose between her faith and her job. Recent anti-discrimination legislation is having the opposite effect and devout Christians are suffering the consequences. This is not the mark of a free and civilised society where freedom of speech and religion is carefully guarded.'
Dr Matthew's professional concerns informed by her faith and scientific evidence about the 'best interests' of placing children in 'same-sex' households are upheld by Dr Dean Byrd, an international expert from the USA who gave evidence in the case of the Family Magistrate Andrew McClintock who had similar concerns to Dr Matthews about placing children into same sex households. Unless the matter is resolved Dr Dean Byrd will be called to give evidence on Dr Matthews' behalf. He will say that the current adoption procedures in the UK are 'social experiments' at best, and at the risk of children's emotional and psychological well-being, in order to be politically correct. Dr Matthews' professional conclusions are in the 'best interests of children'.
Dr. Dean Byrd, an academic, practitioner and President of NARTH (Highland, Utah). In a recent UK Employment Tribunal case, he appealed against UK Governmental research; Dr Byrd has conducted three decades of research on optimal development of children, and claimed UK Government research to be an unbalanced view. Fathers and Mothers are not inter-changeable. Gender matters for children. His world-wide research concludes that children in same sex unions have outcomes as poor as those of fractured heterosexual families; placing an 'at risk' child in a further 'at risk' situation makes the situation worse. The current UK adoption policy reinforces poor outcomes and promotes poor lifestyles.
She has been re-instated but can not vote on the panel:

No degree of moral depravity in the UK surprises me anymore.
Do you think this does not occur here in the US? Just because it is not a story here does not mean it doesn't happen. Our press is not nearly as open with such things. Hell a Gay Aids researcher at Duke University can adopt and molest two little black boys and barely a peep. It shows how very corrupt not just the left but also the right is.
Too bad it isn't incurable and fatal for those who believe in it.
Moral insanity is dictatorial and allows no competition, those under it's sway do destroy all those who would stand against it.
Viz Dr Sheila Matthews, viz Sarah Palin.
I don't disagree with you; I just think the UK is a (very) few steps ahead of us in the depravity department.
When the Archbishop of Canterbury can't read the plain text of the Bible and say "no" to the decadent gay Americans, avoiding a schism, it's all weenies, all the time. Monty Python was more true-to-life than it was satire. Never trust a man in a dress.
From Code of Coercion by George Will, Washington Post, October 14, 2007:
"In 2005, Emily Brooker, a social-work student at Missouri State University, was enrolled in a class taught by a professor who advertised himself as a liberal and insisted that social work is a liberal profession. At first, a mandatory assignment for his class was to advocate homosexual foster homes and adoption, with all students required to sign an advocacy letter, on university stationery, to the state legislature.
"When Brooker objected on religious grounds, the project was made optional. But shortly before the final exam she was charged with a "Level 3," the most serious, violation of professional standards. In a 2 1/2 -hour hearing -- which she was forbidden to record and which her parents were barred from attending -- the primary subject was her refusal to sign the letter. She was ordered to write a paper ("Written Response about My Awareness") explaining how she could "lessen the gap" between her ethics and those of the social-work profession. When she sued the university, it dropped the charges and made financial and other restitution.
"The NAS study says that at Rhode Island College's School of Social Work, a conservative student, William Felkner, received a failing grade in a course requiring students to lobby the state legislature for a cause mandated by the department. The NAS study also reports that Sandra Fuiten abandoned her pursuit of a social-work degree at the University of Illinois at Springfield after the professor, in a course that required students to lobby the legislature on behalf of positions prescribed by the professor, told her that it is impossible to be both a social worker and an opponent of abortion.
"In the month since the NAS released its study, none of the schools covered by it has contested its findings. Because there might as well be signs on the doors of many schools of social work proclaiming "conservatives need not apply," two questions arise: Why are such schools of indoctrination permitted in institutions of higher education? And why are people of all political persuasions taxed to finance this propaganda?"
Thanks for the post. People just don't understand what is going on while they are not watching.

Jose Mourinho hopes to provide the watching public with the match the world is waiting for when Real Madrid host Manchester United in the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday.
The former Chelsea manager will pit his wits against Manchester United counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson one again in the eagerly anticipated European encounter, as Cristiano Ronaldo faces his former club for the first time.
Ronaldo left Manchester United for Real Madrid in a record breaking transfer deal in the summer of 2009, and the Portugal captain's reunion with the Old Trafford club is one of several sub-plots to the most intriguing of ties.
Mourinho knows that both clubs have a duty to put on a show in this week's meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu, and is hopeful Real Madrid v Manchester United can live up to its billing.
"It's such a big match," Mourinho told the official Manchester United website. "Everybody wants to play. Nobody will be tired.
"It's a match the world is waiting for. They are not waiting for other matches in the Champions League. So I hope we can give the world of football what they're waiting for."
The match in Madrid will be the 15th time a Mourinho team has faced Ferguson's Manchester United, with the latter having recorded just two successes, and the former feels privileged to come against the veteran Scot once again.
"We've had so many matches between us, with Porto, Chelsea, Internazionale and now with Real Madrid. In every club I meet Sir Alex. I've won games, I've lost, I've drawn," Mourinho added.
"[This time] I want to win and he wants to win. But I believe the loser, in the middle of being a bit sad, will have a little bit of space to feel a little bit happy because their friend has won."

Meskwaki Settlement- Micah Young Bear, 9, of the Meskwaki Settlement, recently donated a copy of his book "Discoveries: New Writing from The Iowa Review" to the Toledo Public Library. Brenda Wanatee accepted the book on the library's behalf.
Micah,, who's the son of Stella and Ray Young Bear, attends the tribal school where he's known as Ke da tti - Ma ga. Like his brothers and sisters, he's also a frequent visitor to the library.
There's a family connection with Discoveries, a publication from the University of Iowa. Among the 40 literary selections in the special high school reader are two songs called "Micah Rider's Song" and "The One I Live With." These were originally composed in Meskwaki and then translated into English by Ray for Micah and his mother.

"Speaking as a word-artist," said Ray Young Bear, "it's good when musical-related gifts make their way onto the printed page as American literature. More so, when they were first drafted in Meskwaki. To have that linguistic element recognized from the Iowa City writing community is a true honor."
An excerpt from the Editor's introduction for Discoveries:
"Discerned, ascertained, unearthed, coerced, conceived, stumbled upon--discoveries can take many forms, announcing themselves, sneaking up from behind, hooking you by the ear, or whispering into it. When we read and study them, we see other minds in key moments of thought, other ways of perceiving the world, and this in turn urges us toward a greater understanding of our own assumptions, often unexamined, about living..."

Duke rolls into the Greensboro Coliseum as the ACC Champions to face Binghamton University, a team that is in the NCAA's for the first time. The Blue Devils are sure to face heckling from what is sure to be a pro UNC crowd and t-shirts which let their neighbors know they won a trophy for winning last weeks tournament are guaranteed to make the blood boil even more.
Coach Krzyzewski will not allow his team to bathe in past glory and it is clear from hearing the Blue Devil players that they are on a mission to make it down the road in this season's tournament. So, put aside the venom of the rivalry, for beaming in on the job at hand is the ticket.
Okay, you might say that Binghamton has never been to an NCAA tournament and they shouldn't be all that. Before you get it in your head that this will be a cakewalk, remember Belmont. That's why as fans, you must take these games one at a time, just like the team does.
Did you know that Binghamton has the third longest winning steak in the country? Well, they do. The Bearcats are riding an 11 game winning streak, partly due to the play of their go-to guy, D.J. Rivera.
Rivera, a controversial transfer, enters the game as the Bearcats top scorer and rebounder. He is putting up numbers of 20.0 ppg and 6.5 rpg. The junior has broke pretty much every single game record and was named to the Fox Sports Mid Major All American team.
Before you get too caught up on that mid major tag, you would be wise to realize that the majority of the players who log major minutes are transfers from major college programs. In fact, the Bearcats had eight newcomers or transfers from other schools coming into the season.
That was a philosophy which second year Coach Kevin Broadus implemented right off the bat. After a sub .500 year, this year's Bearcats won the American East Conference and sport a 23-8 overall record. A side not is that the Cats are 2-0 on neutral sites and 9-6 on the road this season.
Broadus, formerly employed by Georgetown, was named Coach of the Year in his conference. Much has been made about his recruiting style, but that has nothing to do with the game at hand, so save it for another day.
Helping Rivera out will be Emauel Mayben, a member of the All America East second team. Mayben is averaging 11.5 and 4 rpg.
The middle is manned by Reggie Fuller, the only senior in the lineup. Fuller is tallying 10.2 ppg and 7.1 rpg and holds the teams single season rebounding record.
The fourth double figure scorer us Malik Allen, a third guard who has numbers of 11.7 ppg and 3.1 rpg.
So, the Bearcats are pretty much a four man show and look for Duke to show them a stingy defense designed to keep their guards from going off. In fact, I think Duke will play a lot of players in an effort to wear Binghamton down while staying fresh for the next game if all works according to plan.
Look for the Blue Devils to play a lot of perimeter and wings against a team which relies on quickness and ball movement to get their shots. Duke will likely try to smother Rivera as well, making other players step up to beat them.
Last season, Gerald Henderson put the team on his back to get past Belmont, but the Duke players say they learned from the experience and I think they have. Look for Singler and Thomas to control the paint and Henderson to pick up where he left off.
It will be interesting to watch and see how Scheyer reacts at the point in the NCAA's as well. If Duke continues to protect the ball as it has of late, Binghamton could be in for a long night. The pick here is Duke 81 Binghamton 57
Side Notes -Binghamton has far more students than Duke with 14,368. They were originally Triple Cities College of Syracuse University in 1946. Binghamton is 18-0 when leading their opponent with 5 minutes left in the game this season. They overcame a 25 point deficit to beat Boston earlier this season. Rivera has scored 20 points or more in 20 games. In 2001 Binhampon lost to North Carolina 61-60. They defeated Miami in 2006 by a score of 79-74 at Coral Gables. Greg Paulus was a teammate of Bearcats guard David Fine while at Christian Brothers.
