Are ants communists? What do you say to those that defend communism byway of ant appreciation?
I found an article that may be relevant to this discussion: http://thethinkerblog.com/?p=11907
Basically, the defense is invalid because an ant colony is not a top-down "planned" system. Rather, the apparent complex system is a result of emergence, from each ant adhering to behavioral systems. It is definitely an example of how spontaneous order can work.

"Rather, the apparent complex system is a result of emergence, from each ant adhering to behavioral systems."
I wonder what the Venus Project nuts think about this.
TronCat: Are ants communists? What do you say to those that defend communism byway of ant appreciation?
The comparison is silly on its face. Ants don't have law, much less coercion.
Rather it is in the nature of ants to follow and respond to chemical information signals as they do.
In contrast, it is in the nature of man to decide, to make choices, based on his reason and to live by his reason.
It would cause ants to fail as a species if you removed their ability to take cues from chem-trails. Similarly, mankind as a species would fail if you remove the individual ability to make choices based on reason.
You could do a whole article on why what ants do is nothing and in no way akin to communism. But that point seems already to have escaped anyone who's made the claim.
You could actually make a very good claim that ants following strength of chemtrails are analogous to people following price signals in a free market! It's those signals that allow mass coordination in the absence of a central planner! In the same way that entire economies are coordinated by price signals. Ants are not communists! They're capitalists! lol.
I think EO Wilson said that communism would work, but only if people were like ants instead of humans.
I think any argument based on the concept of ants' social systems would only support the concepts of naturally occurring hierarchies and spontaneous order, although there are so many problems with drawing parallels between the two that it would probably be pyrrhic to even try to establish them.

One finds sympathetic references to ant hills and also beehives scattered throughout collectivist writings going back to Plato. And who benefits from bee-communism, the bees or the beekeepers?
"And who benefits from bee-communism, the bees or the beekeepers?"
Ants are quite visibly not an example of communism at work, and this is in fact an insult to communist to compare them to ants. In communism, you're still supposed to have some sort of division of labor and some sort of innovation and choice for people to do different things. In ant colonies, this doesn't exist. Everyone does the same thing day it and day out without the opportunity to change jobs or to find some new way to combine capital.
There is some semblance of a division of labor in eusocial insects. First there's a division of labor between reproductive (queens and drones) and non-reproductive (workers) tasks. Next there's a division of labor among different non-reproductive tasks, such as foraging, defense, and caring for larvae. In at least some eusocial insect species, furthermore, a worker will move from one non-reproductive task to another during her lifetime.

I can already hear the pseudo-wisdom of an aging hippie, possibly in the form of a lazily strummed folk song: "It's like, In all that Western Civilization thinks that it has figured it all out, it still has so much less to show for it than even the humble ant."
Seriously though, ants are pretty awesome. http://www.cracked.com/article_19651_7-reasons-ants-will-inherit-earth.html

If ants jumped off a cliff, would you?
The ants may not be communist yet, since they 'work for' a queen, however they will soon evolve into a new socialist ant where any ant may be worker in the morning, drone in the midday, and queen in the evening!
Ants do not have to solve the calculation problem. If they find cookie crumbs at a picnic, they know exactly one thing to do with them

That would be John James?
Are ants killed when they refuse to work?
This doesn't happen because every ant has the exact same "mindset." It's in their nature to keep a highly structured labor colony. It's not in ours.
Ants could certainly be defined as socialists of a type, although necessarily in a decentralized manner. No one thinks that socialism, if people are willing to listen to their leaders, is impossible, merely that it cannot create prosperity... So if you want men to live like ants, then go straight ahead.
They're essentially programmed biological machines that behave a certain way. Using ant social dynamics to lend credence to communism is desperate and feeble-minded at best. It's painfully obvious from the annals of history that communism, with actual people, is dangerous, immoral, and foolish.
Don't see ants lining up for iphones do you?

It's excellent propaganda tho.
Good propaganda makes your point immediately understood and placed in a positive light, and makes seeing through the propaganda to how the comparison is not apt at all difficult and laborious.
Most people also are not systematic thinkers. This is a big problem libertarians face trying to implement the education-means of moving society towards libertarianism. Most libertarians probably became libertarian at least in some part because of systematically applying the principle of liberty to all aspects of political life and following the conclusion where it irrevocably led.
The trick of the leftist liberal mindset is to discount any sort of deep thinking at all. Liberals create policy and consensus based on the first impulse. It's all about the first impulse. Murder on the news? Need to ban guns. Wages down? Raise the minimum wage.
We'll never overcome those thought habits by education. And what's worse, even negative results of policies does not cause them to question the original policy. Test scores down? Need to raise taxes and give more money to schools!
We may have solved the great political question of what political theory is best suited for man, but we have a long way to go on the sociological question of how to produce change. The socialists are actually way ahead of us on this one, having thought about how to produce change for a long time. Some of their findings are interesting at least.

According to the Georgia Public Service Commission (GPSC), Calhoun ranked number three out of 95 electric companies within the state for 1,500 kilowatt hours (KWH) usage.
"It is good news for us, but we are just doing what we are suppose to," said Larry Vickery, Director of Calhoun Utilities.
The surveys are done biannually during the summer in July and then the winter in Jan., according to the GPSC.
The electric providers' are ranked by rates for 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 KWH, and according to GPSC, all electric providers in Georgia partake in the surveys.
City of Calhoun Utilities came in ninth for the 500 KWH ranking, sixth for the 1,000 KWH ranking and third in the 1,500 and the 2,000 KWH rankings.
According to Vickery, Calhoun City Utilities serves 5,200 families, and during the summer months 1,500 to 2,000 KWH is the average usage for its customers.
Rates are low, according to Vickery, not only due to the fiscal responsibility of the council, but also because the utilities are owned by the city, putting the resources, management and regulation right at the source of the consumer.
"By owning the utilities locally we have no purpose other than to serve the people we work with," Vickery said. "The Mayor and Council have kept it as low as possible with low taxes in Calhoun, following strict budget plans and having high reliability in customer services."
The electric department has been stable for about eight years, but fears of increases are always looming. Any change in federal regulations or the occurrence of natural disasters could cause the prices to elevate, according to Vickery.
In the 1,500 KWH ranking, North Georgia EMC ranked 11th, Dalton Utilities ranked 12th, Cartersville Electric System ranked 29th and Georgia Power came in 94th out of 95 electric suppliers in the state.
"We are one of the lowest cost power suppliers in Georgia after review of rates and services," Vickery said. "It's nice to have an outside party tell us that."

College football: Kansas State and Oregon are 1-2 in BCS standings
NEW YORK (AP) — Kansas State and Oregon are now on course to play for the BCS national championship.
After Alabama was upset by Texas A&M, the new BCS standings have the Wildcats (.9674) first and the Ducks (.9497) second.
Notre Dame (.9396) is third, not too far behind, but most likely in need of a loss by Oregon or Kansas State to reach the title game on Jan. 7 in Miami.
"These teams are in their order, and the only way that order changes is if somebody gets beat," said Jerry Palm, of CBS Sports and collegebcs.com.
As for Alabama's run at three championships in four seasons, and the Southeastern Conference's string of six straight BCS titles, both are in peril.
Five SEC teams follow Alabama in the standings: Georgia, Florida, LSU, Texas A&M and South Carolina. But it will take a couple of upsets to give the SEC champion a shot to reach the BCS title game.
Kansas State is second in both BCS polls — the coaches' and Harris — and in the computer rankings. The Wildcats have two games left, at Baylor on Saturday and home against Texas on Dec. 1, the day of most of the conference championship games.
Oregon is first in the both polls and fourth in the computer ratings. The Ducks have two more regular-season games left, against Stanford on Saturday and the next week at Oregon State. They can clinch the Pac-12 North and a spot in the conference title game with a win against Stanford. If they get there, the Ducks would play UCLA or Southern California in the league title game.
If the Ducks and Wildcats can avoid the type of upset that dropped Alabama — and there are plenty of good teams left on their schedules — they will play for the national title.
The Fighting Irish are third in the polls and first in the computer ratings. Continued...
"Notre Dame is not going to jump (Oregon and Kansas State) without their help," Palm said. "They're way too far behind in the polls. The voters are not on board with Notre Dame."
The Irish play Wake Forest on Saturday and are at USC two days after Thanksgiving.
Alabama (or Georgia or Florida, which could also both win the SEC with just one loss) needs two of the top three to lose to get to the title game no matter how it finishes.

WTF is... IEEE 1905.1?
Hybrid, multi-media home networking made easy
Feature It sounds like a solution looking for a problem. A technology that allows networked devices in the home connected by different network media to operate as if they were connected across a single medium. Surely TCP/IP already allows you to do that, routing packets from, say, network attached storage linked to a router over an Ethernet cord across to a TV that might be linked to the router wirelessly or over a powerline bridge?
IEEE 1905.1 may well be searching for a problem to solve, and it may, some observers argue, amount to little more than a standard designed to encourage consumers to buy more kit, but it has some big-name brands behind it and it's coming to domestic networking hardware soon.
IEEE 1905.1: unifying multiple networking technologies
At its most basic, 1905.1 specifies the capabilities of firmware that sits just above a network device's MAC layer. It's able to seek out other, compatible devices on the network to learn what connections they have available to them and what hosts they're attached to. Data throughput sampling facilities allow 1905.1 devices to report on the quality of their active links.
The notion is that, say, a TV connected via a router to an online content source will receive that content over whichever network medium it has that is most appropriate. "Packets can arrive and be transmitted over any interface, regardless of the upper protocol layers or underlying network technology," is how the IEEE puts it. An example: the 1905.1 software in the router might choose to deliver the content - a streamed film, says - to the TV over a Wi-Fi link because that provides the best throughput. Should other wirelessly connected devices join the network and start drawing capacity away from the wireless link to TV, the router can seamlessly switch the television stream to an Ethernet connection instead. Likewise, if one link suddenly drops out, 1905.1 can switch the packets onto an alternative medium.
Purva Rajkotia, chair of the IEEE 1905.1 Working Group, claims this will happen in the order of "a few milliseconds" - not enough time for the viewer to notice the change, he says. Indeed, once the user has set up the TV to connect to the router by both Wi-Fi and Ethernet - whether directly over Cat 5 cable, or by way of a pair of powerline adaptors - he or she shouldn't need to do anything more to maintain the system - the 1905.1 "convergence layer" does all the work.
Multiple media, aggregated bandwidth
If the TV is only connected by Wi-Fi, 1905.1 can move other devices with access to other media off the WLAN. Even if all the networked devices operate only over wireless links, the IEEE standard's end‐to‐end quality of service (QoS) provision can give bandwidth priority to the streaming packets bound for the television. Devices with multiple connections can aggregate those connections to boost data transfer speeds.
According to Rajkotia, 1905.1 operates entirely independently from the application layer, so it makes no difference what software and protocols two devices are using to stream a video, play a song or transfer a file, 1905.1 works to route the data over the most appropriate network medium. It doesn't affect the underlying transport mechanisms. "The P1905.1 layer does not require modification to the underlying home networking technologies and hence does not change the behavior or implementation of existing home networking technologies," is how the IEEE describes it.
Wired'n'unwired: the hybrid network
Source: Qualcomm Atheros
In its first version, 1905.1 supports four media: Ethernet; Wi-Fi; powerline based on the IEEE 1901 standard - HomePlug AV, essentially; and co-ax cabling using the Multimedia over Co-Ax (MoCA) specification. A "legacy mode" ensures 1905.1 capable boxes can operate harmoniously with existing network kit, something the service provider backers of the technology were particularly keen on, says Rajkotia, so they don't need to implement it in one go. That's also handy for punters putting their own network kit in place.
And 1905.1 doesn't even mandate the use of all four media in a given device - one is enough, though there's clearly much less benefit to be gained from the specification's dynamic media selection abilities if a host gadget doesn't have at least two types of networking on board.
Rajkotia suggests that future versions of the specification may well add other network media: 60GHz WiGig, soon to gain the Wi-Fi brand, is an obvious contender. Not so the alternative powerline technology to 1901, G.hn. Since the ITU-backed next-gen networking-over-mains-wiring standard is designed to interoperate with 1901, there's no particular reason why it shouldn't be supported. It's un-interoperable specifications that are unlikely to make the grade, says Rajkotia. But with 1901 at the core of 1905.1 and strong support coming from the HomePlug Alliance, it doesn't seem likely to be granted the chance. Indeed, the HPA is no mere supporter of 1905.1 - it's the organisation that has been selected to oversee 1905.1 interoperability certification.

Reminds me of the failure that is DNLA
I wasted money and a lot of time trying to get a DNLA solution working to display videos from my computer on my living room TV. It failed because DNLA is a spec not an end-to-end solution. Multiple devices supporting the standard don't actually mean that something useful is going to happen. That device A will be able to successfully display output on device B is in no way guaranteed or likely.
This sounds exactly the same. There is a standard for a network, but only a suggestion that something useful could happen with it. There is so much more to define on top of a network before something useful can happen. For instance the fact that there is a WiFi connection on my TV, games console and phone doesn't mean that I can play videos from my phone on my TV. There has to be something on the phone that knows how to work with a different something connected to the TV. The network doesn't matter that much.
Who actually connects their TV/Media Server/PC to their network with Ethernet and Wifi? And even if you did why would system ever choose Wifi connection over the nice fast gigabit ethernet link?
Channel Bonding
This seems to offer potential for use to enable much easier channel bonding, for example, for ISP <> CPE situations where aggregating several slower DSL links is required - especially where VDSL is not available or can't achieve high speeds (anyone 1km from the cabinet, for example!). Currently, getting an ISP to channel bond is a challenge in futility and cost.
ISP equipment supporting 1905.1 would make the process easy and transparent and not require any IP-level configuration with round-robin or other techniques in the CPE.
Bring up multiple PPPoE connections on the same account, and provided the ISP account enables it, you've got multi-DSL channel bonding sorted.

Kathy Opolka, who has served since 2001 in various sales positions, has been appointed vice president of business development, a new post. Opolka continues to be responsible for sales management in all market segments of the company, as well as the company's 120 sales representatives.
Fred Barhorst moved from controller to vice president of finance, succeeding Dan Teal, who retired after 24 years of service in November 2007. Barhorst has been with Paragon 17 years and is responsible for all aspects of finance. Ricky King has been appointed vice president of global supply and costing, a new post. Having served Paragon since 1994, King is responsible for developing wholesale costs and oversees Paragon material purchases and logistics around the globe. Johnny Masters, who has led information-technology services for 11 years, was named vice president of information technology, a new post. Ralph King, who was hired in 2007 as Paragon's director of operations, has been name vice president of manufacturing operations. In this new position, King is responsible for all scheduling, manufacturing and customer service functions.
Joey Duncan, who recently celebrated his 25th anniversary with Paragon, has moved to a reduced work schedule and serves as vice president of product development. Malanta Glassco-Knowles, former vice president of marketing, has been named vice president of design and marketing, and will work with company designers.
The transition to this new management team has been under way for almost two years. "It is fortunate that with our parents, Wendell and Bonnie Glassco, becoming less involved in the family business, Dan's retirement, and Joey's desire to work less and focus on developing product, we had plenty of time to prepare for the future," Lendell Glassco, Paragon president, said in a statement. "As second-generation owners, Malanta and I, along with our brother Vince Glassco, who serves as Propac president, look forward to great things ahead with help from this newly empowered executive management team,"

When Your Kids Potty Train Differently
4/30/1990 | by Jen Singer
My younger son had absolutely no interest in the bright blue, yellow and green plastic potty that his big brother (my first son) had potty trained on a year-and-a-half earlier. But the toilet? Yes, he liked the toilet, because his brother used it.
I'd potty trained my first son using that plastic potty. He sat on it in the middle of the kitchen, watching his "It's Potty Time" video at the same time (I have the photo to bribe him with later). Though we had a potty ring for the toilet, it took him a while to choose our bathroom over his little potty.
For the next few weeks, after he went "potty," I carefully paced across the kitchen with the yellow plastic container, eventually making it to the bathroom, where I dumped everything into the toilet. Then I cleaned out the container and returned it to the potty for the next showing of "It's Potty Time."
So when my younger son preferred to skip right to the toilet, because he liked to imitate "Big Bro," I was thrilled. Less mess, less fuss and no more singing about poop along with that video.
Point in case: every kid trains differently. Some kids love rewards, while others shun them. Some take a few days before they're in underpants, and others take months or longer. Some love the plastic potty, while some prefer the toilet.
It's really up to Mom and Dad to figure out what works – and what doesn't – when it comes to potty training. The most important thing to remember is that what works for one child might not work for the next one, even if both kids are yours.
So, get out the potty and the toilet ring. Put on the potty video and stock up on stickers. Try a little of this and a little of that until you find the key to your child's potty success when it's your very own "potty time."

Publisher's DescriptionAuthor Bio John MacArthur is the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, president of The Master's College and Seminary, and featured teacher with the Grace to You media ministry. Grace to You radio, video, audio, print, and website resources reach millions worldwide each day. Over four decades of ministry, John has written dozens of bestselling books, including The MacArthur Study Bible, The Gospel According to Jesus, The New Testament Commentary series, The Truth War, and The Jesus You Can't Ignore. He and his wife, Patricia, have four married children and fifteen grandchildren.
Publisher DescriptionThe first edition of The Gospel According to Jesus won wide acclaim in confronting the easy-believism that has characterized some aspects of evangelical Christianity. Over the past 50 years, a handful of books have become true classics, revered world-wide for their crystal-clear presentation of the Gospel and lauded for their contribution to the Christian faith. These extraordinary books are read, re-read, and discussed in churches, Bible study groups, and homes everywhere. John MacArthurs The Gospel According to Jesus is one of those books. In The Gospel According to Jesus, MacArthur tackles the idea of easy believism, challenging Christians to re-evaluate their commitment to Christ by examining their fruits. MacArthur asks, What does it really mean to be saved? He urges readers to understand that their conversion was more than a mere point in time, that, by definition, it includes a lifetime of obediently walking with Jesus as Lord. This 20th anniversary edition of MacArthurs provocative, Scripture-based book contains one new chapter and is further revised to provide Christians in the 21st century a fresh perspective on the intrinsic relationship between faith and works, clearly revealing Why Jesus is both Savior and Lord to all who believe.

>> you have done all you could do to deliver freedom safely to future generations , i salute you and i look ahead to 2016 , wishing you much success and extending to you my highest regards.
>> madam secretary, first, let me thank you for your service. and i wish you the best in your future endeavors, mostly.
>> where would hillary clinton be today were it not for president obama ? well, okay, she could be president of the united states . but given that she was actually a losing presidential candidate in 2008 , where would she be today had president obama not appointed her secretary of state? and where would joe biden be today without president obama ? joe biden was an even bigger presidential campaign loser than hillary clinton when barack obama chose him as running mate. and now, the essential question about hillary clinton is will she run for president? a campaign in which she is to presumed frontrunner. and the essential question about joe biden is will he run for president, even if hillary clinton runs for president? and is that why joe biden was literally running down pennsylvania avenue on monday? is he trying to show what a young, and vital 70-year-old he is? the night before the running man worked the parade crowd, joe biden hosted a party at his residence with more than 200 democratic insiders, some of the mo strongest. he has convinced the democratic field will be defined quickly and that it may very we will come down to a private chat with hillary clinton , about who should finish what barack obama started. he is intoxicated about the democrats. according to the polls released today, 47% view him favorably, 46% unfavorably. 67% view hillary clinton favorably, 26% view her unfavorably. a democrat close to both joe biden and clinton said it is extremely unlikely they would challenge each other. they will both build up teams and see how it goes. the democrat said one of them will fade away as it becomes more obvious which one of them should be the standard-bearer for the obama legacy. i can't see them announcing the run, but both will have teams trying to get them to that.
>> i haven't made that judgment, and hillary clinton has not made that judgment. but i can tell you what, everything that should be done over the next two years that i should be a part of would have to be done whether i run or i don't run. if this administration is successful, whoever is running as a democrat is better positioned to win. if it were not successful, whoever runs as a nominee is going to be less likely to win.
>> karen finney, i can absolutely imagine both of them running. i don't think there will be a cooperative conversation.
>> oh.
>> i mean, joe biden , joe biden , look, each one of them watched the other lose a presidential primary . okay? they -- i don't know why either one of them would stand down in the face of -- hillary clinton obviously wouldn't.
>> you have to ask yourself, running for president is like being hung by your fingernails. i mean it is really, really, a miserable task.
>> which both of them have freely chosen in the past.
>> they have, so the question is do you want to subject yourself to that again? i would make the prediction that whatever we predict won't happen.
>> hillary clinton , that was her problem going into the last campaign. she had a negative rating higher than her approval rating . she has helped that thanks to cretary of s tate.
>> right, and we know that first lady and secretary of state are typically two that have the highest ratings, in administrations of both parties. you're seeing today, the wrong day for me to make the prediction, although today the secretary of state was pulled into that. you know, it is early and we're going to have as good odds dealing with this, this far out, as predicting as how sasha and malia would do as candidates. it is very early. these are two people who bottom lined and really wanted to be president for a long time.
>> but joe biden was not even in this conversation recently, people were not listing him as a possible just on the basis of age alone. and that is why he is being so overt, he needs to be on this list.
>> and wait a second, what if the vice president wanted to run. oh, yeah? okay, joe, and his people have also really put the idea out there if he wanted to run he could run. he is very beloved. here is what is most important in what you said. and that is how it would be framed. if either one of them ran, this idea of a third obama term or this idea of sort of continuing the work that was started, i think is going to be the winning message for either of the two of them. unlike if it is cuomo or o'malley, who would have to have a different theme.
>> would hillary clinton really adopt an obama continuation message? i mean, she is her own political entity. this is a continuation of clintonism.
>> i agree, i thought all the blind quotes sounded to me like joe biden people trying to sound like they could be anyone's people. i don't think if you're hillary clinton there is an issue about a private conversation. if you're hillary clinton and you want to go out there and do it, you will go out there, and crush who is in the primary, joe biden or cuomo, up need to. it seems much more of a joe biden -type argument, saying obviously we'll coordinate and work out.
>> karen finney, joe biden is a great vice president, it is a job that is hard to be great at. he has found a way to be great at. is there any way he could be talked into it doing it for 16 years.
>> the longest serving vice president

Precoding for 2x2 Doubly-Dispersive WSSUS Channels
Optimal link adaption to the scattering function of wide sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS) mobile communication channels is still an unsolved problem despite its importance for next-generation system design. In multicarrier transmission such link adaption is performed by pulse shaping which in turn is equivalent to precoding with respect to the second order channel statistics. In the present framework a translation of the precoder optimization problem into an optimization problem over trace class operators is used. This problem which is also well-known in the context of quantum information theory is unsolved in general due to its non-convex nature. However in very low dimension the problem formulation reveals an additional analytic structure which again admits the solution to the optimal precoder and multiplexing scheme. Hence, in this contribution the analytic solution of the problem for the 2x2 doubly--dispersive WSSUS channel is presented.

JENKINSVILLE — A May 3 visit by Sen. Tim Scott to sites 2 and 3 at the V.C. Summer nuclear facility left him impressed with the state of the art technology being constructed in Fairfield County.
"We know a major part of the economy of the future for our country involves energy. For Fairfield County to be on the cutting edge is good news in the long term," he said.
Research he has seen shows nuclear to be the least expensive and the most environmentally friendly energy source for the future, leading him to make his long term assessment for this county.
The design and efficiency of the reactor project impressed the senator.
"It is remarkable that you can put two sites in the same space as the first site and that the output of the two new reactors will exceed the old one," he said. "They are contiguous to the existing reactor. Just remarkable."
SCANA officials shared with him lessons they learned about safety and the mechanisms they put in place at the plant, such as scenarios the plant took into consideration following the Fukishima disaster in Japan in 2011.
"Chief Nuclear Officer Jeff Archie did a great job articulating the safety position and the production of energy. South Carolina is at the cutting edge in energy (production) and now we know why," Scott said.
Scott was on a fact finding mission to report back to the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. He believes it is important to go to the sites to have a greater appreciation for them and how they contribute to the well being of energy in this country.
"It was a proud day to see how the Fairfield facility is a world class facility and interesting that CNO Archie is from Fairfield. That says a lot about Fairfield and a little bit about the state," he said. "Hopefully Archie's example will create a pathway for more employees in the nuclear energy sector who are from Fairfield like (Archie), who has lived here and worked at one of the most successful nuclear plants in the U.S."
Scott noted that enabling pathways to success includes building pathways to industrial development. A small business owner prior to becoming a senator, he believes in synergy with economic development. As a small business owner, as you grow the nuclear industry other smaller businesses will grow, such as retail, restaurant and service providers.
Scott believes that the anchor tenant will be the nuclear plant and that enabling pathways for people to become workers at the plant will be a key, particularly for the local economy. He said it is important for students to be able to grow up and be excited about potential employment in Fairfield from an educational standpoint, too.
"There is an opportunity here to organically grow success stories. I my opinion Fairfield is on the cusp of that happening," Scott said. "If we can connect all these pathways, (the county and state) will be in a better position going forward."

Review copies are going out… Once in the hands of the reviewers I'm at their mercy! Let me make this perfectly clear though: I don't expect glowing reviews; I want honest ones. If any book review happens to be both, this blogger will be very pleased indeed. N.B.; if you're into reviewing books and would like a review copy, please get in touch.
It's funny: I've finalized the manuscript for my spy novel and sent it off to Bookbaby for epub (the filetype that most e-readers use) formatting. Yet I'm so used to coming up with ideas and edits for the text that my brain's still doing it without having to try. This is a bit of a pain because some of them are good ideas which can't be included now—but they might make it to the sequel(s). I also find I'm worrying about small details as though they'll ruin the whole thing in the eyes of the reviewer. Yesterday I went off on some mental rabbit-trail about a character holding a certain object, only to find that in my nervousness I'd recalled it inaccurately and there was nothing actually wrong. I think I need to chill.
Printing out review copies has been an interesting exercise. How to fill a room with the essence of laser printing or what? They make a certain highly recognizable niff which seemed to pervade the whole office. It turns out that the book prints on exactly a hundred pages of letter, double-sided with a ten point font. I don't know what speed this particular laser printer is supposed to run at, but it made short work of the 172,000 word book and squirted out three whole copies before the toner died (which, in fairness, was already getting low). When I went to buy a new toner cartridge I realized—with shock—the methodology by which the printer manufacturers are driving such nice cars: The printer may be a couple of hundred bucks, but the four toner cartridges total more than twice as much and there are no third-party versions available. So everyone rushes out to buy the printer thinking what a good deal it is, then they have to sell their children to afford the next toner. Whilst such cunning on the part of the manufacturer reeks of cheating in my eyes, I do kinda wish I'd thought of it.
Right, I must away. These review copies aren't going to laminate, bind and post themselves!
Roger and out, X.

Seems like Richard Dresdale has an incredible white knight complex. His daughter is in college and he doesnt expect her to engage in any casual sex?
Seems like a case of regretful false rape- she probably had consensual sex so fast with the star athlete that he kept propositioning her for more booty calls which after sobering up seemed icky. - May 28, 2012, 2:32:00 PM
Welcome back,FRS is a better name than COTWA.
This guy was railroaded alright.I suppose the big payoff is to remain silent and sue no more.
Was there a racial aspect to this case?
How many of these college boys are back from war, or going to war,to fight for "freedom."
Well at least he's not off rotting in a prison.
Altho you can bet the emotional aspect will haunt him for life.
Why are men being treated as animals?
VAWA and these misandrist policies need to be reversed,like yesterday already.

Oh,..but a male is not human, right...?
This misandry hate society has torn and shredded away what could have become a life of productive joy and meaning, the last 4 decades of my dehumanized existence shall not be lost in vain The sickening, dark hatred you have drilled into my head, the agonizing trauma caused from birth to this very day which I am shamed for even mentioning - You society of the damned, you owe me my entire life, fuckers.

New County Commission Holds First Formal Meeting
KSAL Staff - Tue 11:32 AM 01/15/2013
The new Saline County Commission is set for 2013.
At their weekly formal meeting on Tuesday, the commission reorganized. Commissioners selected Randy Duncan as commission chair, Jim Gile as vice-chair, and John Price as secretary.
Gile and Price were both participating in their first formal meeting, after having been elected this past November.
The new commission then heard updates from Chris Rost of the Tri Rivers Fair Board, Community Corrections Director Annie Grevas, and Planning & Zoning Director David Neal.
Rost had questions regarding the 2013 fair. He said that contracts need to be signed, and he needed to know if commissioners envisioned any changes. The commission indicated that at some point there would be changes as the county makes plans to vacate the current livestock and expo center, but at least for 2013 the plan is to maintain the status quo. The commission indicated that their top priority for the near-future is finding a permanent facility with the city to use for the Salina Saline County Health Department.

You better hope the city fixes the bridge on Greely. Those city commissioners never pulled a horse trailer so they are not aware how important that street is to everyone. Plus the address printed on evearything for both the fairgrounds and bi center is a greely street address.

The city is only interested in art projects. Rumor has it they are thinking of purchasing a $750,000 piece of art to place where they closed the bridge to beautify that area for when they start on the river project that the taxpayers voted down. The rumor has it that Aaron, Barb, and Kay are all in a hurry to do this before they leave the commission.

They may be wrong but I have heard the same things that was mentioned. Think about it why not fix a bridge on a street that is used so much? If they can spend 500k for art out south and 8.1 million on the bi-center they can afford to fix the bridge.

I used to also book horse shows and I for one know how important it is to having Greely opened to traffic. It is used widely by alot of people hauling livestock in. If it was not a well used road the city never would have put up traffic signals at Greely and Ohio streets. Now they want to take that entrance away from us and make us use an intersection without a traffic signal and further north of this street. Evidently none of these people ever towed a trailer if they had they would understand one cannot go zero to sixty in 3 seconds to enter or exit on Midway.

Voguing & The House Ballroom Scene Of New York City 1976 to 1996 – Part 2Various
LP (Item 596227) Soul Jazz (UK), Late 70s/1980s/Early 90s — Condition: New Copy
A musical document of an amazing moment in the New York scene – the late 80s/early 90s wave of vogue balls – which were almost a collision of club culture with high fashion! There was a particularly rich gender-bending element to the vogue scene – and the music that accompanied it was a key part of that activity – tracks that had already risen to fame in crossover clubs from previous years, taken to new heights by DJs who provided music along with the voguing activity – in a great array of grooves from the disco years through early house music, brought together in ways that made 80s musical evolution make a heck of a lot of sense! The compilation album is a companion to the excellent book of the same name – also by Soul Jazz – and this 2LP part 2 version features tracks that include "Din Daa Daa" by George Kranz, "X (Sound Factory mix)" by Junior Vazquez, "Love Is The Message (Tom Moulton mix)" by MFSB, "Cunty (party mix)" by Rageous Projecting Keven Aviance, "Love Thang" by First Choice, "This Brutal House" by Nitro Deluxe, "Ooh I Love It (Love Break)" by Salsoul Orchestra, and "Deep In Vogue (Banjie Realness mix)" by Malcolm McLaren. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

7 students rescued from elevators at Mainland High School
Blown transformer caused power loss
Published: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 2:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH -- Seven students were rescued from elevators Wednesday afternoon after a blown transformer caused a power loss at Mainland High School.
Daytona Beach Fire Department spokesman Lt. Larry Stoney said the students were stuck no more than 15 minutes in two different elevators on campus, and no one suffered any injuries or medical issues. The students were able to get plenty of air while waiting to be rescued.
When the transformer blew shortly before 2 p.m., it also started a small brush fire that crews quickly contained, Stoney said. The area around the transformer was mopped to prevent another fire from starting.

I definitely think that they should kill off Carl in Season 4. It would be very interesting to see Rick try to deal with that, on top of all his other emotional baggage he's been carrying around. Plus, Carl is kinda starting to get annoying. Also, Norman Reedus tweeted this article! :)

If they want to bring her back they can always do the twin sister gig. Just because they only showed the little sister that died does not mean she didn't have a twin that was either never talked about or went with Dad after the divorce.
