Spanner Security Screwdriver, #8
Instead of a regular screwdriver design where the shaft is fixed firmly in the handle, this one is loosely stuck in a whole, and the length of the shaft means there is a half inch of play in all directions up at the end, which defeats the purpose of having a small bit to work in a small area. Really... Read full review

After shopping locally at all the Big Box Stores (all of our local hardware stores are gone), and couldn't find a T45 torx screwdriver (most tool "experts" said that size wasn't made), Drillspot had the tool I needed. Next time I need a speciality tool, I'll check drillspot first.Read full review

Three Las Cruces school board seats, Districts 1, 2 and 3, are up for election this February. For a district map, visit lcps.k12.nm.us/maps/locator.shtml.
Elections are Feb. 5. Early voting has already begun and will end Feb. 1.
The Sun-News emailed candidates a questionnaire asking about their qualifications and reasons for running. Excerpts of their responses are below.
District #1
Brian King Marshall
Qualifications: Deming Public Schools district administrator
Top educational issue: Reading proficiency
Why are you running?
I have a child in the Las Cruces Public Schools, and I believe my background and experience in education could help improve the school district.
Why are you qualified?
I am current on the issues facing education in New Mexico as a district administrator. The knowledge that I have gained through district and state training could be used to help improve LCPS. I also have the experience of seeing what five different school districts do to help their students and teachers find success.
Most important educational issue?
We need to cut back what we are asking teachers to do and be more efficient. We need to focus on simplifying what we teach, craft sound lessons and increase the amount of purposeful reading and writing that is done in every classroom. I believe that narrowing our focus would help us improve the education of all students.
On outreach and
I believe it is important for leaders to attend events that are happening at the schools. ... A board member has no feel for what is happening at the school if he or she never leaves the boardroom. I also believe that social media is a method for staying in contact.
In your view, what is the board's role?
I believe the school board provides leadership and accountability. I think the process of board meetings also allows the public to become more involved in what is happening within the school district and to voice their opinions about what is happening. To that end, the board should promote public input and community cooperation.
Chuck Davis (incumbent)
Qualifications: Current member
Top educational issue: Graduation rates
Why are you running?
I have a passion for public education. ... In addition, LCPS has started several initiatives that I believe in, and I want to help them be successful.
Why are you qualified?
I have served in the Air Force, worked as an analyst at White Sands Missile Range and worked as a teacher. As a school board member, I have availed myself of the training that is offered by the New Mexico School Boards Association.
Most important educational issue?
If I have to pick one, it will be the adequate funding of public education. ... We need to be able to attract the best and brightest to teach and work in our public schools. However, with the Public Education Department mandating more and more of the increasingly limited funding to specific areas such as testing, data collecting and reporting to the PED, there is less money available for staff.
On outreach and communication:
I am available at many of the school events where I talk with parents. ... I am involved in many community events which gives me the opportunity to meet and discuss issues with my constituents.
In your view, what is the board's role?
The primary functions of the board are to hire the superintendent, to oversee the budget and finances and to write policy. ... The board is a visible and tangible representative to the community, schools and district, is available to the schools and community in ways the administration is not and is a sounding board for community concerns.
Lenwood Hampton
Qualifications: Former director of maintenance and facilities in California schools
Top educational issue: Early intervention
Why are you running?
I am running for a seat on the school board so that I can help meet the challenges that are always part of a vibrant and progressive school district, such as LCPS. I believe that every student must have the opportunity to share in the academic excellence, success and pride that should be part of public education in America.
Why are you qualified?
I am qualified for this position through my hands-on experience of working in an educational environment where it was my mission to provide safe, healthful and pleasing facilities for students and staff. In addition, I have worked politically to bring funds and make the connections that keep education a top priority to policy makers.
Most important educational issue?
I think that it is vital that we are ensuring the success of students early in their educational careers so we prevent middle school burnout and high school dropouts.
On outreach and communication:
I plan to be available to students, parents, constituents and the press via email and other social networks. I plan to attend all meetings and planning sessions and to honestly consider all options and opinions.
In your view, what is the board's role?
The role of a successful board is to work effectively with the superintendent to determine the vision of LCPS and to set goals for the district. ... In my opinion, an important role of the board is to understand the needs and priorities of students, families, staff and the community.
District #2
Barbara Hall (incumbent)
Qualifications: Current member
Top educational issue: Comprehensive education
Why are you running?
I feel that my experience in LCPS and at NMSU gives me an understanding of important issues in education and enables me to make decisions based on the needs of our community.
Why are you qualified?
Twenty-five years teaching LCPS; supervising student teachers, NMSU past 12 years; last two years serving on LCPS school board, appointment by board to fulfill vacancy, includes attending both local and statewide school board meetings.
Most important educational issue?
Comprehensive programs which reach the needs of all students and helping students access these programs for their individual success is of utmost importance. We must assist our students to be ready for higher education opportunities or for the job market.
On outreach and communication:
Being available to take phone calls, email or personal contacts is always a means of communication. Attending parent meetings, school functions and being willing to discuss problems or visit with the public at any time is the way I would communicate.
In your view, what is the board's role?
The school board is an important entity in the community, it helps guide the education and future of our children and helps ensure that schools and school administrators follow established state and local guidelines and laws.
District #3
Maria Flores (incumbent)
Qualifications: Current VP of board
Top educational issue: Educational opportunity
Why are you running?
I am seeking re-election so I continue to be a force for administrative accountability and transparency, opportunities for success for all students, support for classroom teachers and deepened parental and community engagement in the education of our children.
Why are you qualified?
For four years I have been a member and currently serve as vice-president of the school board. ... I am a co-founder and president of the Children's Reading Foundation of Doña Ana County. ... I have 17 years of classroom teaching experience and three children who all graduated from Las Cruces Public Schools.
Most important educational issue?
The most important thing is to make sure our educational decisions are made for the right reasons: that they improve the lives and the educational outcomes of students, that parents are increasingly involved in their children's educations and that teachers have what they need to succeed in the classroom.
On outreach and communication:
I have visited and will continue to visit every school in the district on a regular basis. ... I expect full information from school administrators and will insist that decision-making be transparent and open to all parties.
In your view, what is the board's role?
We serve as a bridge between that local community and the school system, and we are responsible for the allocation of public resources in such a way that all children ... have every possible chance to succeed.
Beverly Hine
Qualifications: Retired LCPS director of Health Services
Top educational issue: School funding
Why are you running?
I believe there needs to be a broader representation of the community on the board and the community needs to be more involved in the schools.
Most important educational issue?
Public school funding is the biggest issue facing the schools today. ... The local Board of Education needs to bring their voice to the table in Santa Fe to ensure this district has the funds needed so that our children have the opportunities available to them to make them a successful part of our community.
On outreach and communication:
I would continue with the community meetings I am having as a part of this campaign. ... I think board members need to go to the community and not expect the community to come to them. School visits that current board members make are great for seeing students and teachers, but those visits are not sufficient for a board member's role.
In your view, what is the board's role?
There are opportunities for the board to impact our community with their policies, support education programs with the budget and assure that all students have opportunities to be successful by hiring a superintendent that is not only a good manager of our money but an instructional leader who stays current with laws and regulations and seeks innovation in programs that allow for those students to be successful.

Leo: Movin' on up!
You are reading the fastest growing blog in the baseball universe. It was brought to my attention that we were the 46th most viewed MLB Pro Blog in October! In addition, there were only a handful of blogs covering a minor league team that had more viewers than this one. I'm curious to see how we stack up going forward… I feel like a movement is underway…
- There is a great new deal on tickets and Clippers championship swag! Get a Triple-A National Championship hat, a National Championship shirt, and two reserved tickets for only $40! (that's a $60 value) This offer is available in-store ONLY at the Cargo Shop on December 3rd from 10AM-4PM.
- All single game tickets go on sale Thursday at 10AM!
- Every Monday will be Dime-A-Dog Night in 2012!
- All ticket prices remain the same: Box Seats- $12 in advance, $15 day of game Reserved Seats- $10 for adults, $7 for children (12 & under) & seniors (60+) Bleacher/Lawn/SRO- $6 for adults, $3 for children/seniors
- We are 128 days from the April 5th "Opening Night" against the Louisville Bats.
- Speaking of Louisville, David Bell has been named the new manager of the Bats. He replaces Rick Sweet, the all-time winningest skipper in Bats history. He'll now transition to the role of Reds minor league catching coordinator. Bell was previously the Reds Double-A manager with the Carolina Mudcats.
- Former Clippers/Indians pitcher and renowned funny man Jensen Lewis has signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He'll be reunited with former Clippers pitching coach Charlie Nagy.
- The Indians are scheduled to announce the organization's minor league "Players of the Year" on Wednesday.
- Happy Birthday to broadcasting legend Vin Scully. The unmistakable voice of the Dodgers is 84.
- The minor league umpires have agreed to a new contract. This may not seem like a big deal, but I remember the 2006 season when the umps were on strike. We saw such madness as Razor Shines (the Charlotte's manager) ripping up his lineup card and Torey Lovullo (Buffalo's skipper at that time) dropping a rule book at the feet of a replacement umpire. Oh, the memories…
- There has been a lot of chatter this week about Urban Meyer accepting the football coaching job at Ohio State, but very little talk about Urban Meyer the baseball player. Did you know Meyer, a 13th round draft pick by the Atlanta Braves in 1982, played two seasons of pro ball? He was a .182 hitting shortstop, so not nearly as impressive as his football coaching resume.
I'll have more later in the week!

Lindsay Lohan arrested on assault charge after 4 a.m. fight in NYC club; also charged in L.A. crash
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan was charged Thursday with crimes in New York and Los Angeles, marking her latest setbacks as she tries to revive her career and avoid a return to jail.
Prosecutors in Santa Monica charged Lohan with three misdemeanors related to a June accident. Hours earlier, the actress was arrested and charged with third-degree assault, also a misdemeanor, after a woman was punched in a New York City nightclub.
The California charges came about six months after Lohan's Porsche crashed into the back of a dump truck. She told police her assistant was driving, but detectives now believe the actress was behind the wheel as she headed to a movie set.
In that case, Lohan, 26, was charged with lying to police, reckless driving and obstructing a police officer from performing duties.
Lohan's California attorney, Shawn Holley, did not return messages seeking comment.
In New York, her attorney Mark Heller said he expects the assault charge to be dismissed.
"Once again, Lindsay Lohan is a victim of someone trying to capture their 15 minutes of fame," Heller wrote in a statement. "From my initial investigation, I am completely confident that this case will be concluded favorably and that Lindsay will be totally exonerated."
The California charges could trigger another probation violation for Lohan, who was ordered to stay out of trouble when she was released from supervised probation in March after being convicted of the misdemeanor theft of a necklace and two DUI charges.
Since then she has been arrested twice in New York, crashed her car on Pacific Coast Highway, been treated by paramedics in her hotel room, and gotten in an argument with her mother that prompted a 911 call.
None of the events are likely what the clearly relieved actress anticipated in March when she thanked Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner, who warned the actress that she could face up to 245 days in jail if she violated her probation again. Continued...
"You need to live your life in a more mature way, stop the nightclubbing and focus on your work," Sautner said.
In recent years, Lohan has been sentenced to the Los Angeles-area women's jail five times. Most of her stays have been short due to overcrowding, and she was allowed to serve 35 days on house arrest in 2011.
Lately, Lohan has been filming two movies and doing a cameo in the latest installment of the "Scary Movie" franchise. The first film, "Liz & Dick," premiered Sunday night on Lifetime to mostly negative reviews.
She was on her way to shoot scenes for "Liz & Dick" in June when her Porsche crashed into the dump truck and the actress was briefly hospitalized. A week later, paramedics were summoned to her hotel room. Her then-publicist Steve Honig attributed the health scare to exhaustion and dehydration.
Lohan relocated to New York after finishing her work on "Liz and Dick" and a Bret Easton Ellis film titled "The Canyons" was complete.
Her arrest at 4 a.m. EST Thursday was the latest by New York police since September, when a man accused her of hitting him with her car. Prosecutors did not pursue charges.
The following month, police were called to Lohan's childhood home on Long Island after a report of a fight between her and her mother. An investigation revealed what authorities called "no criminality."
On Thursday, police said Lohan got into a spat with a woman at Club Avenue in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. The woman was punched in the face and did not require medical attention, authorities said.
It remains unclear when Lohan will return to Los Angeles. No court date was announced for the crash-related charges.
People charged with misdemeanors in California can generally avoid court appearances if they have an attorney, but Lohan would have to be present for a probation violation hearing.

STORRS — Depending on the direction of further conference realignment, Saturday's UConn-Notre Dame game marked the beginning of the end of one of the game's best rivalries over the past decade.
They end the regular season on March 4 in South Bend and could meet in the Big East championship game on March 12. Then the Irish are expected to leave the Big East for the ACC in time for next season after joining the conference in 1995.
Notre Dame and UConn have played 12 times since 2010, nine times in the past three seasons, including the past two national semifinals — both Irish victories.
Saturday's 73-72 win over No. 1 UConn at Gampel Pavilion was the fifth win in the past six games for Notre Dame over the Huskies.
It's clear that the programs want to continue playing each other. But much will depend on schedule availability, and UConn won't be clear about that until the date of departure for the Catholic 7 is determined.
"I don't know where it stands in terms of priority [for future scheduling]," said coach Geno Auriemma. "But I am sure there will be many discussions with ND about how we move forward. So much will depend on what the Big East looks like, what the eventually timetable is [for expansion or contraction]. I don't when that will happen. But I am sure there will be a lot of conversation once the dust all settles."
"What makes this different is that our styles of play are so similar. That is not always ideal. Whenever you can, you like to play a team that is opposite, someone with a total style of play so you both are uncomfortable with whatever each of you is doing. We have many of the same concepts."
Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw is equally confident
"I would love to continue it," McGraw said. "I want to continue the rivalry, and the ACC has already approached us about doing it. They want us to continue it. We've reached out to UConn, but it doesn't look like we're going to be able to do it over the next two years."
Donovan, Like Geno,Thinks Once Is Enough
The hiring of Anne Donovan by the WNBA's Connecticut Sun this week will mean that she'll soon shift from coaching against the Huskies with Seton Hall to coaching many of them.
"What's better than UConn players?" Donovan said during her press conference on Tuesday.
Seton Hall, which is 2-30 in the conference in Donovan's first two seasons, comes to Gampel Pavilion on Feb. 23.
The Sun currently have four former UConn players on the team — Renee Montgomery, Tina Charles, Asjha Jones and Kalana Greene, who Dovovan coached as a rookie in New York in 2010. New York traded Greene to Connecticut on draft day in 2011.
"The young players in Geno's program, the talent — amazing. You think you can't get better than [Kaleena] Mosqueda-Lewis. Then you get Breanna Stewart. It's remarkable. There is great talent and it's remarkable that it keeps ending up in the same place."
Donovan preceded Auriemma as coach of the USA Olympic team, winning a gold medal in 2008 in Beijing. Auriemma has said that he has no interest in reprising his role in 2016, although USA Basketball has not announced a replacement.
"I loved coaching the Olympic team; it was absolutely the pinnacle of my coaching career," Donovan said. "But I was also happy when we won the gold medal and I was able to walk away. No pressure will ever match that, especially after we failed to win the world championship [in 2006]. We were able to right the ship and win the gold in 2008. I was very happy with those four years."
Two Recruits Shine
With Auriemma and associate head coach Chris Dailey in attendance Friday, Saniya Chong, UConn's lone commit to the Class of 2013, scored 29 of her 46 points in the fourth quarter to lead Ossining to an 89-84 win over Christ the King. Chong was scoreless in the first quarter. Sierra Calhoun, the sister of UConn freshman men's player Omar Calhoun, scored 30 points for Christ the King. Sierra Calhoun is a UConn recruit for 2014. Chong attended Saturday's game, as did 2014 recruit Brianna Turner. ... UConn sophomore center Kiah Stokes missed her fifth straight game with a recurrent stress reaction in her leg. Auriemma has said that she is making progress. "I'm just anxious to get our whole team,'' Auriemma said. "I don't know that we've had our whole team all year. We haven't played a game, I don't think, with our whole team yet this year." … Auriemma spent time Friday discussing what he believes is a discrepancy in the way fouls have been called in recent games with the Irish. Over the past six games, the Irish took 134 free throws to 86 by UConn.

Competition format
The number of heats and rounds depends on the number of athletes competing, but there will not be more than three rounds – heat, semi-final, final – in any event.
The draw to determine which heat an athlete will run in is decided by their initial seedings (based on previous performance) for the first round, and then their performances after that, ensuring that the highest seeded athletes are not allocated the same heat.
In the first round, an athlete's lane allocation is drawn by lot, and in subsequent rounds is dependent on their performance. The higher-seeded athletes in subsequent rounds will be allocated one of the four central lanes.
Depending on their class, athletes start sprint races using startingblocks, or with their wheelchairs behind the starting line. Athletes with hearing or visual impairment can receive help with the starting signal from a flag or a light.
Visually impaired athletes are allocated two lanes each, one for the athlete and one for their guide runner.
For more information, please go to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) website.

Coming Up: Obama-Cameron News Conference
By Mark Memmott
President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron are due to hold a news conference at the White House just after noon ET.
We'll live blog as they speak, so check back as the time approaches and hit your "refresh" button every once in a while after they get started.
Among the topics likely to come up: the mission in Afghanistan, where the weekend murders of 16 civilians (allegedly by a U.S. Army staff sergeant) have threatened to intensify anti-American sentiment; the global economy and signs of a recovery in the U.S.; and the American presidential race.

SOPA/PIPA Copyright Bills Also Target American Sites
By Marvin Ammori • December 30, 2011 at 9:00 pm
A healthy copyright system must balance the need to provide strong economic incentives through exclusive rights with the need to protect important public interests like free speech and expression. Fair use is foundational to that balance. It's role is to prevent copyright from stifling the creativity it is supposed to foster, and from imposing other burdens that would inhibit rather than promote the creation and spread of knowledge and learning.
The Fair Use Project (FUP) was founded in 2006 to provide legal support to a range of projects designed to clarify, and extend, the boundaries of fair use in order to enhance creative freedom and protect important public rights. It is the only organization in the country dedicated specifically to providing free and comprehensive legal representation to authors, filmmakers, artists, musicians and other content creators who face unmerited copyright claims, or other improper restrictions on their expressive interests. The FUP has litigated important cases across the country, and in the Supreme Court of the United States, and worked with scores of filmmakers and other content creators to secure the unimpeded release of their work.

Per today's ruling, injunctions against European ISPs requiring them to apply filtering tools that monitor traffic to prevent copyright infringement officially violate EU law. The Scarlet decision puts a major stick in the wheel of wholesale copyright holders fighting against file sharing activities. With the expected implementation of the ACTA in mind, this ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) will likely affect both prospective copyright legislation in Europe and offensive strategies of rights holders in their operations against intermediaries.

Today Congress held hearings on the latest IP legislation, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). We are taking part in American Censorship Day to help spread the word and stop this bill. We've outlined five of the most important problems with SOPA.
1. SOPA violates due process. Under SOPA, any private copyright or trademark owner can cut-off advertising and payments to any website by alleging that the operator "avoid[ed] confirming a high probability" that "a portion" of its site is being used to infringe copyrights. Advertisers and payment companies (e.g. Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal) are then required to stop doing business with that site. It seems likely that content owners (or people merely claiming to be content owners) will often succeed in shutting down websites without ever going to court. The proposed legislation also gives the Attorney General and the Justice Department the power to shut down websites before they are actually judged infringing. Courts will be able to order any Internet service provider to stop recognizing an accused site immediately upon application by the Attorney General, after an ex parte hearing. By failing to guarantee the challenged websites notice or an opportunity to be heard in court before their sites are shutdown, SOPA violates due process. Read more: Letter to Congress from over 100 law professors techdirt explains that SOPA would create the Great Firewall of America.

10 Tax Tips For Newlyweds
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- American newlyweds have cleared one financial hurdle already, paying on average more than $25,000 for a wedding in 2012, according to WeddingReport.com.
But right around the bend is another hurdle to clear, and this time mom and dad may not be pitching in.
The hurdle is taxes, and not paying attention to how a marriage changes your tax picture can hit newlyweds in the bank account for years after a wedding.
"When a major life change happens, taxpayers need to know it could impact their tax situation," explains Kathy Pickering, executive director of The Tax Institute at H&R Block (HRB) . "Not understanding the impact of the resulting tax changes to the individual and household can be costly."
What steps should newlyweds take to maximize their tax situation in marriage, especially in those all-important early years of matrimony?
Here's what our panel of experts had to say:
Tiffany Washington, founder of Waldorf, Md.-based Washington Accounting Services
The most important issue is to decide whether newlyweds should file jointly or individually. Most couples are better off filing jointly, particularly if there's a wide gap in incomes.
It's important to get this right.
When two salaries are averaged, the lesser of the two could sink the higher one into a lower tax bracket, saving both spouses money. Many people are aware of the "marriage penalty," a fine leveled at some wedded couples, but it applies only to couples earning two relatively high salaries (a combined income of more than $131,450), which might bump them into the 28% tax bracket. When a couple has that much money coming in, submitting separately could be the way to go, because averaging the incomes won't help. The other common reason to file separate returns is when writing off medical expenses. To be deductible, these expenses must add up to more than 7.5% of adjusted gross income, an amount that's easier to achieve filing solo.
Lynn Ballou, CFP and managing partner at Lafayette, Calif.-based Ballou Plum Wealth Advisors
Some good tax planning opportunities do exist for newlyweds.

At first I thought I was having either video hardware or software problems but quickly narrowed it down to astropulse being the culprit. It still doesn't cancel "software problems". You software config somehow differs from those who running AP successfully. So in some sense you really have software problems. What driver do you use? | |

AstroPulse v6 6.04 (ATI_opencl_100) has been causing error messages about my AMD video driver not responding and a restart being successful. It does this about every few minutes (all input locks up and the screen goes blank then slowly comes back. I am running 3 monitors but not displaying the SETI processing graph on any screen. Usually it only involves 2 monitors (connected to the graphics card - the other is connected via USB). Also the elapsed time resets to zero during these episodes. The other thing is that I do not have my local preferences set to use the GPU and Boinc is running one more task than my local preferences allow. It only does this when the above mentioned astropulse program is available. I will revisit my web specified options to see if I can turn off using the GPU. My video card is an AMD Radeon HD 6570. At first I thought I was having either video hardware or software problems but quickly narrowed it down to astropulse being the culprit. Huhu 3 monitors are operating on the graph? There still any resources for GPU Boinc projects are available? If the calculation is interrupted 100 times, it makes no sense and there are errors. Then turn off the GPU-work for Boinc. | |

Usually it only involves 2 monitors (connected to the graphics card - the other is connected via USB). How do you do that, the connection through USB? Are you sure that's not a HDMI connection? Which one is it? This is a HDMI connection. This is a USB connection. I am not aware of any monitor maker using USB as an optional connection. Most all use VGA, DVI-X and HDMI. Some still have S-Video as well. VGA. DVI. S-Video. Yep, some do have USB connections, but those are just a hub, they don't actually take input from a videocard to then show on the monitor. It's just that you can connect a USB cable from the PC to the monitor, and have your keyboard and mouse connect there. ____________ Jord - BOINC FAQ Service - BOINC User Wiki Real is just a matter of perception. | |

Run a Faster Pace
run at the faster pace. You can start out slow to warm up, run a portion of your run at the new pace and then slow down to your normal pace. Be careful, though, that you don't overstride. Run such that you feet always hit the ground under your body rather than in front of your body. I refer to this form of speed training as a "low-level" form of speed training, because it doesn't put an awfully large stress on your body. I like to use this as my first attempt to increase my speed. Running a faster pace for longer distances can put a large stress on your body.Cadence Drills

interval. In running intervals, the runner runs a specified distance at a very fast pace and then follows that with a rest period of slow jogging. This sequence of fast-pace/rest-pace is repeated a number of times. The length of the interval is short enough that the runner can complete it in 2 pr 3 minutes. In doing this, the runner is pushing his or her body into the anaerobic level in which the runner isn't getting enough oxygen; because of this lack of oxygen, the runner doesn't run long intervals. The rest period is long enough that the runner's heart rate comes down significantly. Through running intervals, the person's body becomes used to higher levels of lactate and to having an oxygen debt.Strides

* LongC, speaking of the squatting man, we'll touch on that below re Peratt's findings on rock art.
* In discussing this thread with others, I got this response from Hank (bold is mine).
Stopping Earth's Rotation
- I was surprised to see the claim that the rotation of the Earth's core was temporarily stopped, resulting in the MOHO. I can't imagine what kind of force could cause that. If, on the other hand, it was the outer shell of Earth, above the MOHO that stopped, there is such a force that could cause that, i.e. the magnetic field of another massive body passing hear the Earth, then moving away. The magnetic force would only penetrate the near surface of Earth, which contains only a tiny fraction of the total rotational energy.
- But what kind of force could act only on the core to stop it, then what ... is the mechanism that could start it rotating again?
... I formed my ideas about the MOHO in connection with the biblical tale about the Earth stopping temporarily, in the context of Velikovsky's mention of it in his books. Velikovsky never mentioned the MOHO, to my knowledge, and I got pretty excited many years ago when I read about the MOHO and made the connection, as others apparently have also done (Dwardu, for one). Assuming that something like that really happened, all I am saying is that the only thing that makes any sense to me is that a magnetic force from some magnetized object such as a planet, approached Earth, then went away, its magnetic field entering the shallow regions of Earth, stopping (or braking) the Earth's crust by magnetic tension above the MOHO, then releasing its grip as it went away.
- Dwardu has chimed in to clarify that he only suggested that the crust was "slowed"; my conclusion that it "stopped" for awhile is based on the biblical record that the Sun "stayed in its course for about a day" (paraphrasing here because I don't recall the exact wording).
Earth in a Z-Pinch
* Fred Jueneman has given an interesting alternative theory to explain the evidence of Earth expansion and continental drift as follows (bracketed words, bold and color are mine for clarification or emphasis).
- Great glorious globs of galactic goo! What we seem to be discussing here are somewhat trivial exercises in topological reconfigurations. There was a lot more going on during the primordial disruption of proto-Earth's shape and spin that hasn't otherwise been considered by [the Thunderbolts team]. Peratt et al. touched on it in their "Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity Part II: Directionality and Source" (IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, Vol. 35, No. 4, August 2007, p. 802). Herein is shown a prolate planetary configuration that satisfies most all of the questions raised recently, which can at least be partially answered by a more careful perusal of Cardona's and Talbott/Thornhill's books, not to mention extant literature. The reversion of a prolate [Earth elongated polarly] to an oblate form [shortened polarly and widened equatorially] by such a disruption would reshape continents, which themselves would slide like skaters on ice. This apparently is a magnetohydrodynamic/mechanical process that had been going off and on throughout at least the entire Phanerozoic Eon [supposedly from 540 million years ago to the present]. We are only just now settling down into a relatively stable equilibrium since the Holocene events that brought the Saturnian configuration into the solar system proper.
... I'd already run much of what was said in my last [email above] by Dwardu Cardona something over a year ago or so and experienced his rather terse skepticism, although he left the question open. So, I'll also leave it open to the EU aficionados, and if I haven't become persona non grata in the meanwhile may add a few ex officio comments at the [upcoming] Las Vegas colloquium.
- To my mind, however, there's not much left to question. Just a myriad of details to flesh out. As mentioned previously, Peratt et al. laid it out in general terms (p. 802). http://www.nazcamystery.com/geoglyphs_aurora.pdf [This shows that Earth was in a Z-pinch.]
- Taken to a logical conclusion, proto-Earth was at one of the foci of a series of Z-pinches in the Birkeland current plasma trailing proto-Saturn (viz., Talbott/Thornhill, Electric Universe, p. 53), to which Peratt also alludes. This rather massive and powerful Birkeland current was perforce rotating in synchrony with the rest of the proto-planetary system, as well as the primary [proto-Saturn]. Ergo, the Z-pinch compressive effect elongated proto-Earth and other trailing bodies into prolate [polarly elongated] shapes, albeit counterintuitively rotating at several times the observed present-day rotations. Think an 8-10 hour day equivalent. Also, consider the gravity vs. centrifugal effects of a highly rotating prolate planet. (N.B., if Earth's daily rotation was 1.41 hours, objects at the equator would be essentially weightless -- not less massive, just weightless.)
- During periods when the plasma stream was disrupted, proto-Earth would have reverted to a more oblate shape, with the release of momentum energy as it slowed in rotation, thereby allowing continental slag to break up and slide over the underlying magma as if on a sheet of ice. It may well have occurred during a proto-Saturnian flare cycle -- if indeed such a phenomenon was cyclical. This must have occurred several times over the Phanerozoic Era to redistribute the continents as described by the geologists and plate tectonic[s] enthusiasts. Such rapid continental "drift" as envisioned here would be generally moving from east to west because of equatorial expansion, while the more fluid air movement would have been from west to east. However, there would also have been additional effects that I won't go into here, except to say that the mechanical reversion of the prolate to oblate form would have been accompanied by a series of damped oscillations.
- It's a wonder that as many species survived as they did.
* Wow! That's a lot of food for thought. For one thing, it sounds like the large dinosaurs lived when Earth was in a stronger Z-pinch from Saturn, which made Earth spin much faster, making everything much lighter in weight. I imagine the age of large dinosaurs could have lasted a mere few thousand years and could have occurred within the past 100,000 years, instead of 250 million years.
* And it looks like Peratt's Rock Art findings pretty well prove that Earth was in a Z-pinch a few thousand years ago.
