Too hot and noisy By Timothy on 4/4/2014Timothy wouldn't recommend this product to a friendJust plugged it in and it makes a grinding noise especially when powering on and appears to get very hot. I took it apart to see if I could see anything wrong with the propeller but it appears to be ok with no obvious damage.
I hope to be able to return it as I see others have had the same issues. Need to find a pump that is much quieter and not run as hot.
Value, yes! By FishysPlace on 2/18/2014FishysPlace would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this pump for a 75 gal tank with a 20 gal sump. When I first received the pump I thought there was a "grinding" type of noise while operation for about a week. I called BRS and they suggested a replacement, I received the replacement very quickly and they even included return shipping for the original pump! The second pump was slightly quieter. Not much difference really. Then BRS got me in touch with Danner who shipped a replacement impeller. That didn't help a whole lot either.
The pump moves water quite well. It does make a considerable amount of noise. Which I am going to try and avoid by purchasing a different submersible pump.
It's an excellent value and BRS always takes care of the customer the best way possible! I will be purchasing my next, different pump from BRS.
Great Pump By Powerpark on 1/20/2014Powerpark would recommend this product to a friendI have a Mag 5. Great pump I run it as a return pump. Its has run for 4 years with no problems. I just bought another one for backup. And I really need to clean this one. Its plug and play. 30 gal saltwater nano.
very solid pump By big g on 1/14/2014big g would recommend this product to a friendthe only little problem is the pump is very littlely loud but other then a little bit of noise it is very good
decent pump great for the price By turbotone on MR on 1/12/2014turbotone on MR wouldn't recommend this product to a friendthese pumps are affordable for there price.. I've owned 2 of these pumps and what i have to say is this.. yes they add heat to the tank yes they are a lil bit louder then others i suppose..over all for the price i guess it makes sense. i will also say in a few months you'll notice a dramatic drop in power if you really pay attention to it. so if you really keep that in mind and acknowledge you need the bigger more expensive pump to compensate for the lost of power you might as well get the better pump if you know for a fact that is something that won't happen to the more expensive one..i gave these pump 3 stars .. i would recommend with any pump you choose to get 2 of them..you can service your pump without leaving you tank turn over stagnant.. just swap pumps giving your pumps some rest between services.. so if i were you keep that in mind with what suits you.. if you need a mag5 and can afford a mag7 that will eventually run like a 5 go for it.. i currently run a mag9.5 on a 75 mixed reef on a 30'' standard stand. i use to run mag7s on it but like i said they do start to taper of with the power.. I'm doing a 90 swap 48x18x21 with a custom 48'' stand using a mag 12.. I've owned a few of these pumps and its fair to say its a common thing..
Good Pump By Bradb90 on 12/14/2013Bradb90 would recommend this product to a friendI bought this pump about week ago for my 60g tank. The pump delivers. It is ultra quiet and does what it says it's supposed to do. I wish it came with some sort of suction cup or something to secure it to the bottom of my sump but other than that this product is solid.
reliable pump By TimSc on 10/28/2013TimSc would recommend this product to a friendBought it to replace one I had been using for 15 years
Terrible Customer Service By Derik on 9/27/2013Derik wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThe pump worked awesome for four months then it would just shut down. If I unplugged it for a couple hours then plugged it back in it would run for about 15 minutes then shut off. I reached into my sump to remove the pump after it had shut down and was surprised that I got a moderate shock once my hand touched the water. When I contacted the manufacturer (Danner) about warranty replacement I got a really snarky response from the rep Christine "FYI it's never a good idea to put your hand in water with a pump plugged in" - while that is true, we are talking about something designed to be submerged in water. I wouldn't buy or recommend another based on my experience.
Powerful pump with little noise By Brian on 9/25/2013Brian would recommend this product to a friendThis pump really surprised me. When I purchased this I was really just looking for price. Boy was I surprised when I plugged this in and saw the column of water it created.
I'll admit that you can hear this pump running but it is not annoyingly loud and is definitely a good deal for the price.
LOUD By Dan on 5/11/2013Dan wouldn't recommend this product to a friendWay too loud for my setup. Moved plenty of water, but I needed an Eheim. Decided to keep it for water changes.
Perfectly happy with pump By Christian on 3/21/2013Christian would recommend this product to a friendI love this pump. It pumps a good amount of GPH to my display tank, and it is pretty quiet. It is slightly noisier than Eheims I bought in the past, but I bought a silencer pad that helped cut back on the noise.
I wish it had a suction cup slide mount!
stand back! By grobro on 3/5/2013grobro would recommend this product to a friendThis thing has some nuts! Tried the $25 Eco pump, it was a joke compared to this. The Eco pump did not have the power for my drip irrigation system. But the Mag-Drive dose! Just don't do what I did. I tested it in the kitchen sink, the results was very dramatic, everything within 10' was soaked in two seconds

Previously Asked Questions
by Robert on October 14, 2013, @5:22 AM
can i use this pump as an external for a DIY canister filter
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Robert,
Technically the mag drive can be used externally though we generally don't recommend it. The input side of the pump has a very fragile connection that is easy to break. For external applications we generally recommend a pump whose main purpose is to be run externally, like a panworld or Iwaki pump.
Danner Mag-Drive Supreme Pumps are specifically designed for the demands of salt water aquariums. Mag-Drive Supreme pumps are made to run continuously, without seals to wear out. Very low maintenance with an easy-clean pre-filter. These are the most used pumps in their class. Energy efficient. The only moving part on a Mag Drive pump is the ceramic/magnetic impeller. All Mag Drives come with a 3 year limited manufacturer's warranty.

To be honest, I always thought you look more like The Thing than someone who could marry Jessica Alba.
Too bad I don't find that insulting.
(Source: wtftasha)
Survived a yoga class at gym today and I feel like Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four.
Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, babe. Whatever you say. Now I'm starved. Do you know where I can get some tapas or something?
Do I look like a fucking tourist guide? Go fuck yourself and ask the motherfucking Google.
(Source: wtftasha)
Look on the bright side. Your crush actually talks to you and knows you exist. Unlike Chris Evans.
Shut up, I'm not crushing on you. Get a fucking grip.
(Source: wtftasha)
Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you have a teeny, tiny school girl crush on me? And you don't get to call me Dexter, just F.Y.I.
Ew, as if.
(Source: wtftasha)
Do I sense a little jealousy now that you know I don't just look at tits when people walk by? It's fine if you do, it's quite flattering actually. Thanks for the ego boost, T.
Why would I be jealous, geez. Don't go ahead of yourself, Dexter.
(Source: wtftasha)
Don't flatter yourself, babe. Why would I spend my precious time talking about you? Honestly. Wow, it's not like I'm not starving here too. Good for you for being able to save money and not take a spin on Daddy's credit card every damn day. Fuck, you really are oblivious. Isn't it kind of obvious? I mean, it's not exactly a secret.
Gosh, you're such an ass. I shouldn't even talk to you at first. Not at all and it's not like that I care about it.
(Source: wtftasha)
Might be but it also means that I can get what I want without being a spoiled brat because hey, I'm independent. Then I'll just cheers to that because you'd be the best mom in the whole fucking world. I don't get you girls, man. This is why it's great that I also like dicks.
Did you just call me spoiled brat? Wow, okay. F.Y.I, I don't always beg for Daddy's money, alright? I work my ass off, I don't even eat dinner because I'm saving up for rent. Huh? How about that? You like — whoa, that's a… shock.
(Source: wtftasha)
Waiting is for losers who can't get shit. I may have been formulating a plan. Well, you're not my mom so nothing you say really matters, now does it? Don't give me that bull shit. How could one not eat dinner? It's practically inhumane.
That defines how impatient you are, and impatient people are the worst kind of people. Oh, it's not? Then, it's all useless. What if I told you to keep going on your alcohol and cigars? I'm not your mom so nothing I say really matters. Not feeling particularly hungry, so. A bit peckish, but not really hungry. Trying to watch my figure by a new kind of dieting.
(Source: wtftasha)
31st of October is still a long way to go. What can I say- coffee and cigarettes are a borderlining alcoholic's best friend. It is, but it's still hell of a lot of fun. I can do anything I want as long as I look this good. Um, what did you have for dinner?
Not if you wait. You should really put them down, you know. I don't care if you consider it as 'fun' or 'exciting' or 'satisfying'. No, I haven't eat dinner. Too lazy to cook and to order something.

- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes such as Sweet 100s (about 10 oz.), rinsed, stemmed, and halved if larger than 3/4 inch
- 1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- 2 ounces fresh chèvre (goat) cheese, crumbled
- 1. In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, stir onion in olive oil until limp, 5 to 7 minutes. Add corn and stir often just until tender to bite, 5 to 6 minutes.
- 2. Pour mixture into a wide serving bowl and stir in tomatoes, basil, and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- 3. Sprinkle goat cheese over salad; serve warm or at room temperature.
- Cutting kernels: An average ear of corn weighs from 10 to 14 ounces and yields about 1 cup of kernels. To remove them, with a large, sharp knife, cut off and discard the stem end of each ear down to the beginning of the kernels. Pull off and discard the husks and silks; rinse ears. Holding each ear upright, shear off the kernels close to the cob.

Is breastfeeding our generation's
vacuum cleaner?
"In certain overachieving circles, breastfeeding is no longer a choice—it's a no-exceptions requirement, the ultimate badge of responsible parenting. Yet the actual health benefits of breastfeeding are surprisingly thin, far thinner than most popular literature indicates. Is breastfeeding right for every family? Or is it this generation's vacuum cleaner—an instrument of misery that mostly just keeps women down?"
This is from "The Case Against Breastfeeding," an article by Hanna Rosin in the current issue of The Atlantic magazine. Hanna is certainly not against breastfeeding—she has three children, all of whom she has breastfed.But she does have a few choice words for La Leche League.
The article is well researched and well thought out. I don't agree with it all, but I highly recommend you read it and would love to hear what you think in the comments below.
Here's a bit I found interesting:
"The debate about breast-feeding takes place without any reference to its actual context in women's lives. Breastfeeding exclusively is not like taking a prenatal vitamin. It is a serious time commitment that pretty much guarantees that you will not work in any meaningful way. Let's say a baby feeds seven times a day and then a couple more times at night. That's nine times for about a half hour each, which adds up to more than half of a working day, every day, for at least six months. This is why, when people say that breast-feeding is 'free,' I want to hit them with a two-by-four. It's only free if a woman's time is worth nothing."
What do you think? Does breastfeeding keep women down?
This blog is worth reading. It goes into detail about the study Rosin mentions in her article and both of the researches have commented on it.
A baby still has to be fed. Time will still be spent feeding no matter what form BF or Formula. BFing I think is faster and easy! No damn bottles and no standing waiting for the milk to heat. Breastmilk is ready at anytime.
Not work in any meaningful way? I work full time, and have breastfed 4 children (still going with #4). It's this kind of uninformed, unintelligent rhetoric that leads women to not even try to breastfeed.
It is this kind of attitude that makes me want to yell "It's not just about the milk!" Even if formula is improved to the point where all studies show no different risks or benefits, I would still breastfeed.
Nursing is the biological norm for mothers and babies. It is a relationship that links the baby's immune system to the mother's, provides the baby with stimulation and connection while providing the mother with stress reducing hormones. It even feeds the baby.
When I was breastfeeding my daughter, I'd have to sit with her for 3 hours. I wish that 3 hours had been filled with those stress reducing hormones.
Wow, If women think breastfeeding is keeping them down wait until they have a 3 year old throwing a fit in a store and they are forced to cut there day short so the child can have a nap. Or all the time they will spend on sports fields or in dance or gymnastics studios watching there children and driving them from activity to activity. Or how about not buying that designer dress because your child needs new clothes for school and the budget will not allow both???? If a woman thinks breastfeeding is time consuming do not become a mom. Seriously infants sleep and eat and require little more. As for health benefits being comparable to formula...Was this written by similac or enfamil??? OK I'm done thanks for letting me rant.
If you think breastfeeding is tying you down, what about formula feeding???? I mean, the prep time to prepare it, put it in the bottle, feed baby, clean bottle, put it away, only to have to do it again 2-3 hours later? sooooo not worth my time! With breastfeeding, I just whip out a boob, and the meal is warm, and no clean up afterward!
I think breastfeeding has it's own rewards. You ask is it free, but what about formula? Is that free? NOOOOOOO! You have to mix it with water (unless it's bought prepared) and you have to buy soap to wash the bottles, and clean the bottles, and use water to do that, and all the while your baby is screaming for food. Now, if you breastfeed, you'd already be done feeding baby by the time the bottle is prepared!
As for benefits.....breastfeeding carries not only every nutrient baby needs to survive, but also has immunities that the mom carries. Does formula have that???? NO. You can't buy that for your baby.
I think this article is uninformed, uneducated, and prob from a person who either doesn't have kids, or just doesn't find the time for them! My kids are worth my time. Whether they pay for it or not!
I loved a comment I found on the related article.
"Finally, the real clincher that everyone forgets about is that we had a healthier alternative in the past. Wet nursing was acceptable and available. Your sister could feed your infant to give you a break and no one would bat an eyelash at the practice. Now, in our super sterile environment where we confuse an infant's normal food with yucky body fluids --- such an idea is usually met with shock and horror."
I have wet nursed a friends baby. It was no big deal. She was running to the store and I kept all of our kids when her baby chose an inconvient time to get hungry. After a quick cell phone call I fed a hungry baby, and that was that. Many people are probaby shocked at the thought of sharing breatmilk like that, but if it wasn't so socially frowned on I'm sure I would do it more often. The fact that Breastfeeding is considered "gross" by so many means we as a society just don't consider that option; and I think that is a real shame.
I breastfed my youngest for about 6 months. He nursed 10 times a day in the beginning, and about 6 times a day toward the end... each time was about 2 hours long!!!!!! That's a lot of time! I hate when people try to say that formula feeding takes just as long. I can mix a bottle (and now a sippy cup) in less than a min. and I wash bottles in the dish washer with all the other dishes I have to wash anyway. I don't boil water (there is no need unless you have dirty water), and I don't warm bottles. both of my kids were able to hold bottle by 4 months, so no need so me to sit there, and even before they could hold a bottle they could drink it in about 10-15 min (if that!).... Plus I always had the option of letting someone else feed them a bottle. So the amount of time I spend on bottle feeding AT THE MOST was 16 min!!!!! HUGE difference compared to 2 HOURS!
I think it is extremely unfair the way SOME BFing moms treat FFing moms! Not all BFing moms bash, but some (like the ones this article is talking about) take things too far. They criticize and degrade those who choose FFing, and they even make some BFing moms feel bad if they don't do it all just "perfectly". It's sad, and it casts a bad light on an otherwise beautiful thing.
I say bravo Hanna for pointing out that there is no need for all this debate over breastfeeding! For some women breast is best, but for others formula works better... and in the end there both can have happy healthy kids.

Nixon, Kissinger: A Deeply Weird Relationship5/13/07 at 8:00 PMRichard Nixon was nearing the end. It was Aug. 7, 1974, and the president had just told congressional leaders he planned to resign. Shortly after 6 p.m., Nixon's secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, found the chief executive sitting in the Oval Office, staring into the Rose Garden. The relationship between the men was, to say the least, ambivalent. As Kissinger was well aware, Nixon suspected him of self-aggrandizement. Kissinger, for his part, told reporters (privately, of course) that Nixon was a "madman." When, a few months earlier, the president called Kissinger and his new wife, Nancy Maginnes, on their honeymoon, Nixon offered perfunctory congratulations. Then he warned Kissinger's bride not to pick up poisonous snakes—and if bitten by one, to extract the venom quickly.And yet Kissinger was moved by Nixon's misery. Though neither man was a hugger, Kissinger put an arm around the president's shoulder. The awkward embrace is an oddly touching scene in Robert Dallek's at once...
Truman Primary: Courage and the '08 Field5/13/07 at 8:00 PMThey all want to be Harry Truman. Hillary Clinton invokes his iconic sign (THE BUCK STOPS HERE) to call for better treatment of wounded veterans. Barack Obama reminds us that Truman was the first politician bold enough to call for universal health care. Rudy Giuliani notes that Truman was unpopular in his day, but if he hadn't stood up to the Soviets in the late 1940s, asks Giuliani, "Who knows how much longer the cold war would have gone on?"There are some eternal verities about politics—chiefly, that most politicians are (surprise, surprise) carefully calculating and keenly attuned to what is possible. There are some eternal truths about history, too. History has a habit of changing its mind. The case of the now sainted Truman, the Platonic presidential ideal of 2008, is an example of just this phenomenon. In 1953, when Truman left Washington for Independence, Mo., few were unhappy to see him go. His administration was accused of corruption and the Korean War was stalemated. Yet...

Dickey: Halberstam's Lessons About Quagmires4/23/07 at 8:00 PMIn the early 1980s, inspired partly by "The Best and the Brightest," David Halberstam's book on how the East Coast foreign policy establishment got America into the Vietnam War, my colleague Walter Isaacson and I (back when we both worked at Time magazine) embarked on what we hoped would be a kind of prequel—a book called "The Wise Men" about the rise of the establishment after World War II. I went to visit Henry Cabot Lodge, a pillar of that old (and now defunct) order of waspy statesmen, at his grand home in Hamilton, Mass. I was curious about Lodge because, during his tenure as ambassador to South Vietnam, he had joined with one of our Wise Men, Averell Harriman, to urge the overthrow of Vietnam's President Diem in 1963.At a rum-fueled lunch, Lodge and his high Brahmin wife, Emily, informed me that they had been influenced not by Harriman, who was at the time assistant secretary of state for Far Eastern Affairs, but by a young newspaper reporter named David Halberstam.

War Film: The Politics and Drama of '300'3/25/07 at 8:00 PMThe New York Times and the government of Iran agree: the movie "300" has no redeeming social value. The movie, which depicts the brave stand of 300 Spartans against a marauding army of hundreds of thousands of Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C., "is about as violent as 'Apocalypto' and twice as stupid," according to A. O. Scott, the Times' movie critic. The Iranians, who presumably don't screen many Mel Gibson movies, were nonetheless even more offended. The movie is aimed at "humiliating" Iranians, who are descendants of the ancient Persians, said Javad Shamghardi, cultural adviser to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: "300" is "part of a comprehensive U.S. psychological warfare aimed at Iranian culture." And this was the headline in the Ayan No newspaper: HOLLYWOOD DECLARES WAR ON IRANIANS.To most moviegoers, "300" may or may not evoke the Clash of Civilizations, but it certainly is popular among young American men. The R-rated film grossed more than $70 million its opening...
Is Hillary Afraid of Being Embarrassed by Bill?3/4/07 at 7:00 PMLast December, a NEWSWEEK reporter tentatively broached a delicate subject with a longstanding adviser to Hillary Clinton: was there a concern in the Hillary camp that her husband might somehow embarrass her in the campaign ahead? The reaction was swift and fierce. "If that's what you want to talk about, I'm hanging up right now," said the adviser, who did not wish to be identified even entertaining such a question.But it is the elephant in the room. Senator Clinton's presidential campaign can ill afford another scandal swirling around her husband, whose second term in the White House was badly disrupted by the Monica Lewinsky affair. Perhaps the Clintonites are understandably worried that the Republican right will try to create a scandal where there is none or dredge up old history. They doubtless anticipate an assault from Clinton's old foes, but they may have been caught unawares by the attack from one of Bill's old friends. In an interview with New York Times columnist Maureen...
Schlesinger on Reagan's Faults and Virtues2/28/07 at 7:00 PMWhen I was writing a biography of Robert Kennedy in the late '90s, I had lunch with Arthur Schlesinger Jr., the author of the then—and probably still—definitive biography of RFK. Schlesinger, whom I knew slightly, might have brushed me off, but he was gracious and even eager to talk about our mutual subject. Though he was then nearly 80, he knocked back two martinis and tucked into a large steak at New York's Century Club. Then he launched off on cheerful, gossipy tour of the 20th-century horizon, which he had lived as fully as the great leaders he wrote about.Schlesinger was, in some ways, a walking reproach to modern academic historians. He believed in writing from experience, and he argued that individuals—and not just broad social and economic movements—shaped history.Though he won two Pulitzer Prizes and a basket of lesser awards, and though he was regarded at times as the reigning authority on Presidents Andrew Jackson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, he was never a...
Ties Of Blood And History2/25/07 at 7:00 PMThe last time the United States and Britain threatened to go to war against each other was in 1895. As European powers raced to expand their empires, Britain coveted a mineral-rich slice of Venezuela along the border of its colony British Guiana. Invoking the Monroe Doctrine, President Grover Cleveland vowed to "resist by every means" British adventuring in the Caribbean. The prospect of taking on Britain thrilled some jingoistic Americans, including Theodore Roosevelt, who was at the time a New York City police commissioner. "Let the fight come if it must," he wrote to his friend Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge. "I don't care whether the seacoast cities are bombarded or not; we would take Canada."Fighting a war with England, whose Navy floated 55 battleships against America's three, because of a border dispute in Venezuela was a preposterous idea. (TR was still going through the Sturm und Drang period of adolescence, explained philosopher William James.) Both governments calmed down when...
Anna Nicole's Tabloid Odyssey2/18/07 at 7:00 PMAnna Nicole Smith, born Vickie Lynn Hogan, said she wanted to be Marilyn Monroe. She became instead a kind of bombshell circus freak, a star in the lewd carnival of American pop culture. Smith always seemed to be spilling out of her dress in front of a camera, or coming and going from a court of law, or both. Her apogee, or nadir, may have come last May, when, dressed in body-clinging black, she sashayed past the paparazzi up the marble steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to pursue her right to claim half the fortune of a billionaire husband she had married when she was 26 and he was 89. There was grittiness and pathos in her pursuit of celebrity; she was an underdog some cheered for. But her death last week of unexplained causes seemed more tawdry than sad. Her psyche did not appear all that complicated. In her guileless way, she explained that she loved photographers because they gave her the attention she had missed as a child. More interesting and revealing is the way the tabloid...
Spycraft as Thespianage1/14/07 at 7:00 PMMoral ambiguity is the none-too-subtle point of two new movies about the creation of Pax Americana after World War II. In "The Good German," an antihero war correspondent (played by George Clooney) is caught up in a tangle of lies as the Americans cover up the war crimes of a Nazi rocket scientist. In "The Good Shepherd," a once pure Yale boy loses his soul by becoming a spymaster for the CIA. Both movies aim to evoke the dark trade-offs of empire building. They seek to capture the existential gloom of true believers who must do wicked things in a righteous cause. They may even make you nostalgic for an era when U.S. intelligence officers seemed to know what they were doing.But for all their faithful attention to period detail, the two films miss an essential point. The early days of the cold war--at least for those Ivy Leaguers who held top jobs at State and CIA--were not dire with dread and anguish. For many of those Ivy League spies, the time was heady, even giddy. The work was a...
The 38th President: More Than Met the Eye1/7/07 at 7:00 PMOn the morning of Sunday, Sept. 8, 1974, after he had been president for about a month, Gerald Ford took communion at St. John's Episcopal Church on Lafayette Square, across from the White House. He prayed alone in the presidential pew. On the way out the church door, he sloughed off reporters who were badgering him about his plans for the day--"You'll find out soon enough," he said. Back in the Oval Office, he telephoned Sen. Barry Goldwater, the fabled conservative, to tell him he was pardoning Richard Nixon for whatever crimes the disgraced president might have committed in office. Goldwater, whose voice had been critical in forcing Nixon's resignation, was dumbfounded. "It doesn't make any sense," he protested. Ford answered, "The public has the right to know that, in the eyes of the president, Nixon is clear." Goldwater responded: "He may be clear in your eyes, but he's not clear in mine."Next, Ford called his old congressional adversary, the then House Majority Leader Thomas P...

Decline and Fall11/19/06 at 7:00 PMThis is how a revolution ends. Not with a bang, or a "thumping," as President George W. Bush called the 2006 Republican defeat at the polls, but with a misdirected phone call and a certain sinking feeling that even the most well-intentioned politicians can grow weary of rectitude and sell out their principles for the right price.The scene happened almost 10 years ago, when the GOP revolution in the House of Representatives was still fresh, less than three years after Newt Gingrich and his promise of a Republican "Contract With America" had swept aside four decades of Democratic rule in the House. The House in that summer of 1997 was considering passage of its annual transportation bill, routinely a fat pork sausage of legislation, larded with goodies--bridges, tunnels, exit ramps, highway extensions--for individual congressmen to take home to their districts. A band of a dozen true believers from the Class of '94, the congressmen first elected under the Gingrich banner of reform,...

Dead In the Water11/12/06 at 7:00 PMDuring the Second World War, it was very unusual to be standing on the deck of an American warship and actually see a Japanese vessel. Most sea battles in the Pacific War were fought at night or from great distances--by carrier-based planes flying many miles from their ships. But shortly after dawn on the morning of October 25, 1944, the men of the USS Johnston, a destroyer patrolling near Leyte Gulf in the Philippine Islands, saw something the survivors would never forget.There, rising over the horizon out of the morning mist, were the distinctive pagoda-shaped superstructures of a dozen battleships and cruisers of Emperor Hirohito's Imperial Japanese Navy. The men on the Johnston could see the great guns of the Japanese warships flashing in the distance, and see and hear the giant shells tumbling towards them. The shells made a sound, some recalled, like a passing freight train. On the bridge of the Johnston , one sailor ducked. "Don't duck, son," said the destroyer's captain,...

Stopping the Census Clock10/9/06 at 8:00 PMAt 11:03 on the morning of Nov. 20, 1967, a giant "census clock" in the U.S. Department of Commerce building in Washington marked the moment when the population of the United States reached the 200-million mark. The crowd in the lobby interrupted a speech by President Lyndon Johnson on American "greatness" to burst into applause. "'The bigger the better' is almost an article of faith, as American as turkey on the Thanksgiving table," wrote NEWSWEEK in its Nov. 27, 1967 issue.When the population of the United States passes 300 million, probably some time later this week, there will be no elaborate official celebrations staged by the White House. At a time when about half the 1.5 million immigrants entering the United States are illegal, the Bush administration is not eager to call attention to America's out-of-control borders. Many conservatives believe that unbridled immigration threatens to ruin the country. "This is an invasion, the greatest invasion in history," writes Patrick J....

Transition: Ann Richards, 739/24/06 at 8:00 PMAn ardent feminist who could make the most unrepentant male chauvinist laugh out loud, Richards seized the national stage with her keynote address to the 1988 Democratic convention. "Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did," she drawled. "She just did it backwards in high heels." With perfect timing, she skewered the GOP nominee, then Vice President George H.W. Bush. "Poor George." [ Pause; crowd laughter ] "He can't help it." [ Pause; more laughter ] "He was born with a silver foot in his mouth." [ Crowd roars ] Richards was elected governor of Texas in 1990, upsetting the good-ole-boy incumbent, Clayton Williams. Proclaiming a "New Texas," she opened up state government to women and minorities. She was in turn upset by George W. Bush in 1994. Democrats complained that Bush's message boiled down to "gays will take away your guns," but Richards may have underestimated Bush, who ran a tight campaign. Divorced, a recovering alcoholic, she had empathy as well as humor. Meeting...
'24' Versus the Real World9/19/06 at 8:00 PMIt's probably not too farfetched to say that what most Americans know about torture comes from watching the TV show "24." (There is even a Web site called The Jack Bauer Torture Report.) Jack and his comrades and enemies have at various moments on the Fox television program used electrical wires, heart defibrillators, old-fashioned bone breaking and chemical injections to wrest information from their captives. In one episode, Agent Bauer forced a terrorist to watch streaming video—staged—of his child's execution. The terrorist talked.But how does it really work? The current debate over torture, specifically President Bush's efforts to gain congressional approval for certain interrogation techniques, is a confusing morass of stonewalling, half-truths and moral posturing wrapped up in politics and legalisms. The whole truth remains concealed behind a veil of government secrecy. Nonetheless, it is possible to piece together a picture of the how torture is actually used by the United...
Bold. But Risky.9/17/06 at 8:00 PMHarvard's decision to end early admissions has created an interesting dilemma—and a tempting opportunity—for its rival schools. Students admitted to Harvard as well as another school tend to choose Harvard in overwhelming numbers. This mismatch is particularly galling to its chief competitors, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford. Though I don't like to admit it as a Harvard graduate, these schools argue pretty convincingly that they do a better job of focusing on undergraduate education. But the Harvard brand remains powerful, and year after year, Harvard enjoys the highest yield of acceptances—about 80 percent, compared to 70 percent for the other three—and, nationwide, wins head-to-head competitions against each of the three other top-rated schools by comfortable margins.Now Harvard's competitors have a chance to steal a march on their ancient foe. Standout high school students will be sorely tempted to apply early to, say, Yale, rather than wait to apply to Harvard. On Friday, the...
Reading Lessons9/11/06 at 8:00 PMAccording to the White House, President Bush has read more than 60 books in the last year. This is a remarkable accomplishment, even if his motivation was competitive. Reportedly, he was challenged by Karl Rove to match his political adviser in a contest to read a book a week. Bush, who loves games, apparently decided to outdo Rove. The most scholarly president ever was probably Theodore Roosevelt, an autodidact who wrote more than 30 books. But even TR required two years to read as many as 60 books.Bush is more intellectually curious than he is generally given credit for, especially by the mocking press. But he made a remark last night in his address to the nation that calls into question how closely he is reading history. He stated that when FDR began a two-ocean war, he could not have foreseen D-Day or Iwo Jima, and that when Truman promised to liberate people enslaved by Soviet aggression, he could not have imagined the Berlin Wall.Bush's larger point is true enough: that both...

If a teen earned this grade, he'd probably lose cellphone and iPod privileges. Might get grounded, too.
Georgia received an F because it's a high-risk state for government corruption, according to an investigation by the Center for Public Integrity.
Today, a former ethics enforcer questions the study's methodology while an ethics-reform proponent says Georgia deserved the grade.

This is so depressing it is difficult to really frame a rational thought. As long as we have the "fox in charge of the henhouse" it is difficult to imagine that there will ever be any substantive ethics reform. The only answer is for the voters to make this a major issue and elect candidates who will commit ahead of time to specific changes. However, based on the lack of participation of most Georgia Citizens I fear we are destined for more of the same.

Since the World Cup is over I expect a pick up in the transfer market.
In our neck of the woods we have two significant transfers;
Kader Keita (You all know him as the flopper that got Kaka thrown out ) has been sold to some team from Qatar or the UAE or something. He wasn't bad last year but he had discipline problems and they offered about 8 mio for him so I'm happy.
We have also signed a player who RD should be very familiar with; Lorik Cana from Sunderland (formerly of PSG and LOM) very excited about this transfer just what we needed a fighter in the middle of the pitch.
BD, any rumors about Harry over there? I think our board is playing hardball with him seeing that there isn't much interest but I'd still like to see him come back.
As for rumours, as you fellas know a fair number of the Liverpool squad are heading for the exit door, Gerrard, Torres, Mascherano and so on. Disappointing but that's life.
Henry is officially a red bull
The Turkish press is reporting Rafael Marques (it was reported that Galatasaray was also interested in him) is also going to the Red Bulls, he'd be a better pickup then Henry IMO.
BTW the sewerbirds have signed Miroslav Stoch of Slovakia.
Besiktas, the third Istanbul team, has signed Ricardo Quaresma and Guti. They also appointed Berndt Schuster as coach.
Beggining to look interesting over here next year.
Edit: The club is now saying they are in talks with Guti but have not signed anything yet.

(CNN) -- France's all-time leading goalscorer Thierry Henry has announced his retirement from international soccer.
Henry confirmed his decision on the day he was presented as a New York Red Bulls player having signed a multi-year contract with MLS side after leaving Spanish champions Barcelona.
The 32-year-old scored 51 goals for his country but only made two substitute appearances as France were knocked in the group stages at the World Cup.
The squad returned in disgrace after refusing to train two days before a vital game but Henry says France's dismal showing had nothing to do with his decision.
"South Africa didn't play any part in it. My decision was taken right before the World Cup," he told reporters in New York.
"I could have announced my decision before the World Cup but I didn't want to put that kind of cloud on the team. I think it was time for me to stop after the World Cup.''
Asked what went wrong at the World Cup Henry replied: "I actually would like to know myself. I don't know what it was.
"From a personal point of view, I am always going to respect the decision of the coach. It was [Raymond Domenech's] decision not to play me and I respect that.
"Lots of stuff was invented unfortunately. I just like to stick to the pitch, and the problem was we didn't play very well. That's the only thing we should be talking about right now. We didn't perform. It's as simple as that.
"We had a good atmosphere, but when you don't perform well it is difficult. For me, you can also have a lot of stuff happening when you win. We just didn't play well. I will stick to this.
"I think the team should move on now with Laurent Blanc in position as the coach, and hopefully they can qualify for the European Championships and do well in that competition.''
As for his move to New York, Henry said a switch to the United States was something he had been thinking about for "four or five months."
"I can assure you I have come here to try to win, that is the most important thing,'' Henry said. "I am a competitive person and I'm sure the boss can put a team out there to do it.
"I've met some people who came to MLS before and played for this club. I played with a guy you know well, Youri Djorkaeff, and know Claudio Reyna too.
"For me there was not any other option than New York Red Bulls. I wanted to represent New York. I love this city. It was a no brainer for me.''
I wish I could watch the Turkish league mostly for the atmosphere.
Im also dying for the Bundesliga on FSC.
Apperantly we've signed Juan Pablo Pino from Monaco (not confirmed by the team but multiple media outlets are reporting it)
What's the story RD? Is he any good?
BD, the turkish press is alos reporting we have signed a 1+1 year deal with Harry and he'll be joining the training camp monday with Neill.

Judge called the Govenor's actions to change the law illegal. Excellent coverage by the AP.
Despite the protests and arrests and warnings against building a 2,100 mile oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, Obama is on track to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Now, mainstream media is (disingenuously and lazily, imo) drumming up speculation that the President might back out of approving the pipeline.
This is false. He's already approved nearly half the line, and has clearly stated his intentions on signing the deal. Indeed, half the pipeline is nearly completely built and Obama toured construction and gave a support speech earlier this year:
"Today, we're making this new pipeline from Cushing to the gulf a priority," he said, while the northern portion requires additional review.
"But the fact is that my administration has approved dozens of new oil and gas pipelines over the last three years, including one from Canada," Mr. Obama added. "And as long as I'm president, we're going to keep on encouraging oil development and infrastructure, and we're going to do it in a way that protects the health and safety of the American people." Obama, March 2012. Via NYTimes.
Today, the media is intentionally ignoring his clear statements and unwavering intent. Why? Why is the media creating a false theater? Why would Obama (or any president) back-out of a $7 billion project halfway?
A recent article by USNews sums up the faux issue:
Obama is facing increasing pressure to determine the fate of the $7 billion Keystone XL project, with environmental activists and oil producers each holding out hope that the president, freed from the political constraints of re-election, will side with them on this and countless other related issues down the road.
Environmentalists have had very little success in stopping the line from being built. My best guess of what will happen:
The pipeline is going to be built. Don't let the press fool you.
Uh-oh! Here come the creeping tendrils of the big bad federal government that some conservative politicians love to hate until they desperately need its help:
Gov. Dave Heineman says he's willing to seek additional state money from the Legislature if needed to help pay for firefighting in drought-parched Nebraska.
Heineman said Wednesday he wouldn't be surprised if more money is required to reimburse local fire departments and other agencies for their expenses.
Wildfires sparked by dry lightning have scorched tens of thousands of acres in central and western Nebraska. State officials say they don't yet know the exact cost, but Nebraska Emergency Management Agency assistant director Al Berndt estimates that the state has spent around $7.5 million so far.
Berndt says his agency started the year with about $10 million available for emergencies. He says state officials will start conducting damage assessments next week to see if Nebraska can qualify for federal aid.
"The company planning the disputed Keystone XL oil pipeline has proposed a new route through Nebraska that avoids the state's environmentally sensitive Sandhills region.
Calgary-based TransCanada submitted a series of proposed routes — including a preferred alternative — late Wednesday to Nebraska environmental officials.
The state has become a focus of concern for the 1,700-mile pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast. President Barack Obama blocked the pipeline earlier this year, citing uncertainty over the Nebraska route, which would travel above an aquifer that provides water to eight states."
Via WaPo
U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) today released the following statement in support of Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman's request to President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to deny the proposed route for the Keystone XL pipeline:
"I support Governor Heineman's request that President Obama and Secretary Clinton deny the current application from TransCanada to build the Keystone XL pipeline along a route crossing Nebraska's Sand Hills and the center of the Ogallala Aquifer," said Johanns.
"The proposed route is the wrong route. It's clear to me, after traveling throughout the state, that most Nebraskans agree a better route is needed. "Amid much discussion about authorities, one thing is irrefutable and that is the State Department's authority to approve or reject TransCanada's current permit application. The Governor has now unequivocally stated that the application should be denied; I agree. TransCanada should be forced to select a more appropriate pipeline route."

Flood berm collapses at Nebraska's Fort Calhoun nuke plant; facility shut down since April
"FORT CALHOUN, Neb. — A berm holding back floodwater at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station has collapsed.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission says it's monitoring the Missouri River flooding at the plant, which has been shut down since early April for refueling.
The 2,000-foot berm collapsed about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, allowing the swollen river to surround two buildings at the plant. The NRC says those buildings are designed to handle flooding up to 1014 feet above sea level. The river is at 1006.3 feet and isn't forecast to exceed 1008 feet.
The NRC says its inspectors were at the plant when the berm failed and have confirmed that the flooding has had no impact on the reactor shutdown cooling or the spent fuel pool cooling.
NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko will visit the plant Monday."
Source: The Republic
Recall the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has, since April, told the public the plant is safe, see NYTimes, Reuters, etc.
According to the NRC's Burnell, the added flood barriers will protect the plant even if the river rises beyond where it is currently projected to go.
Recall last week, when I wrote, twice, that the FAA closed airspace above the nuclear power plant due to a fire.
More soon.

For marketing to influence young people's diet-related health, it must influence their diet, as depicted in the five-element causal framework (see Figure 5-1) that guided the systematic evidence review. Elsewhere in this report (see Chapter 2 and Appendix D), evidence that links diet to health has been presented. Here, consonant with the committee's charge, research that includes marketing as a possible causal factor and diet-related health as an outcome is reviewed and assessed. Such research could address any of the four major marketing elements (product, place, price, and promotion) as an influence on juvenile health outcomes such as weight, obesity, cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. In point of fact, some research has included marketing as a consideration, but little research has intentionally focused on any aspect of the relationship of marketing to diet-related health. As noted previously, the committee acknowledges that various factors in addition to food and beverage marketing might affect this relationship, but these are not the direct subject of the committee's inquiry and therefore the focus here is on the specific relationship of marketing to diet-related health.
The committee identified a substantial body of research that is relevant to understanding the relationship of marketing to diet-related health. These studies examined the relationship between television viewing and diet-related health, almost always juvenile adiposity. Sixty-five articles that examined this relationship were identified and included in the systematic evidence review. All but one study (Robinson, 1999) employed a correlational design, gathering data at either one or two points in time to examine the relationship between amount of television viewing and diet-related health. One study (Wong et al., 1992) examined cholesterol levels; one study (Guillaume et al., 1997) examined cardiovascular fitness and adiposity; all the rest examined adiposity. Most studies also measured some possible moderating variables such as age, race/ethnicity, or socioeconomic status or some possible alternative explanatory variables such as activity level or snacking while viewing television. Nearly all employed various statistical controls to better elucidate the underlying causal mechanisms accounting for any significant association of television viewing and diet-related health.
After careful consideration, the committee judged that it was reasonable to include these studies in the systematic evidence review for the rela-

Bad news everybody!Okay so this\'ll be short, but in all likelihood, I am going to be shutting this page down. It\'s expensive (very), and I do not think it\'s needed anymore given the success of GOG.com, Abandonia, and a few others. I simply don\'thave the time to keep it up and running, nor can do I have the time to make it the kickass community that I think it needs to be. I tried to ping abandonia about taking it over, but I never got a response. if anyone else has any alternative ideas, drop me a line at admin at hotud.org and we can figure something out.

Step back to 1813 and try to penetrate the Russian front. The graphics are reminescent of SSI's Sons of Liberty, but the gameplay is similar to an RTS game, with the exception of a hex system. You can set the timer for actions to take place and they happen automatically (set to 1 second for PURE fun). Keys are kind of funky, but the gameplay is good, especially for Napoleonic era wargame fans.
