Proof Positive That Arlen Specter Does Not Read Balkinization
Marty Lederman
And here I thought everyone did . . .
Who was it a few days back who wrote that Specter was smart & didn't need reminding about Youngstown?
I've felt sorry for Specter on occasion, but no more. I hope he's held up as a mockery of what a U.S. Senator should be. What a sad wreck of a man.
One possibility is that Specter is so obsessed with getting some judicial review of that NSA scandal that he is not longer capable of seeing that Cheney/Bush's price for agreeing to some nominal FISC review is a major gutting of almost everything Congress came up with in the last 30 years to protect American people from the kind of abuses that were rampant in pre-FISA days and setting a brand new legal regime where future NSA-like (or worse) spying programs can go on w/o any oversight.
There are other theories - Cheney(Bush): "the party and this presidency needs you Arlen, only you can pull it off, we normally would go with Roberts, DeWine, Hoekstra perhaps, but they have no credibility with that democratic, libertarian, media, pinko rabble out there, so only you will do. Specter: OK, I'll do it, but we will have to get smart if we want to win this one."
Regardless of which one is it, the sad truth is that his recent proposal and that amnesty spectacle of his only a few weeks ago leaves him with very little credibility. Sad.
The best course (to second others) is to leave things as they are, far from perfect, but let's hear from the courts first before we embark on anything.
And one more note to people here and on Greenwald. Do you realize how much grief you are causing Mr. Cheney and Mr. Specter?
The governing was so easy in the old days. If they wanted something, they wrote it and gave it to their people in Congress and media with exact instructions on how to spin it. There would be a perfunctory Committee hearing with their boys chairing (Roberts, etc) after which the floor vote was a sheer formality as nobody would even bother to read it.
Nowadays thanks to Gore and his internets, everybody and his uncle feels free to stick his nose where it doesn't belong. Even librarians read new bills now and pick them apart like that was their business or something. Not to mention sites like this. Or Greenwald's.
Everything is so messed up now.
It is worth reminding everyone once again that, in addition to the third-party civil suits that might be helped by Schumer's bill about standing, there is another route to a test case under existing law.
There is every reason to believe that DOJ could have submitted a test case to the FISA court all along. The case would take the form of a warrant application supported by information from the prior warrantless surveillance Bush claims to be lawful. The court could approve or disapprove this application depending on its view of those legal claims.
(We know from reporting in the Washington Post that DOJ and the chief FISA judge followed a procedure deliberately designed to avoid presenting such cases. The judge reportedly warned DOJ that such applications could not be approved if the court had to consider them.)
Unlike the limited judicial review proposed by Specter, which really could only reach the Fourth Amendment issues, such review under existing law could actually test the arguments Bush makes for the program today -- including the AUMF argument and the argument that "inherent" power can override the statute.
The only thing preventing such a case is that it requires voluntary action by the administration (just like the Specter/Bush/Cheney bill does). But it is the administration that refuses to initiate such a case.
Interestingly, at last week's Judiciary Committee appearance by AG Gonzales, Sen. Feinstein -- based upon what she said was classified knowledge about the NSA program --- insisted that court review could be accomplished under existing law. Gonazales, under oath, waffled over whether this is true.
Gonzales said current law may not make clear that the FISA court has the authority to rule. If that is the case (which I doubt) Congress could simply pass general language reaffirming the court's obligation to consider the legality of evidence in warrant applications, and reject applications based on unlawful evidence.
Fundamentally, it is the Bush administration that stands in the way of full judicial review, and now favors the sham review contemplated by the Specter/Bush/Cheney bill instead.
Wasn't Arlen Specter the architect of the JFK "single bullet" theory? Now he's developed a novel theory for separation of powers and national security. Maybe he's brilliant in ways we mere mortals can't fathom; Then again, maybe not.
It's also proof positive that Senator Specter didn't read his own bill in entirety. The language from Justice Jackson's famous concurrence in Youngstown, which is all one needs to read to understand how Congressional action can limit inherent Presidential power, is quoted in full in Section 2(8) of the bill.
The plain fact of the matter is that Arlen Specter lacks a basic understanding of the structure of the United States and the U.S. Constitution, which delineates that structure.
Quick Electric Vehicle Primer
When you buy your new Toyota RAV4 EV, you can pay for it out of the $300 to $400 you do not pay for monthly gas purchases.
Do not be tempted to buy a hybrid. Hybrids are needlessly complex and thus you remain in the grip of Big Auto.
An electric vehicle consists of battery, motor, charger and brakes. Service costs should be virtually zero.
There are lots of EVs to choose from.
Environment wins… Iran loses.
There was another FISA/NSA hearing a few days back. I checked it just to see what Sen. Specter had to say after the massive criticism of his "deal" with the administration.Post a Comment
Well there is no change. He still thinks this is the best he can do or get. (likely and sadly true)
Regarding the substance of criticism, Sen. Specter tried to offer some explanations. Unfortunately neither of them held any water.
A few specific examples:
a) the undisputed point is that his (Cheney's ?) bill removes FISA exclusivity and reverts things to the pre 1978 Hoover-like situation. Sen. Specter did not offer any explanation why that is necessary or even advisable.
At the hearing he claimed that a presidential prerogative to engage in warrantless spying on US persons can be read into some provisions of the original FISA and that he only made it explicit in his FISA rewrite. This, I'm sorry to say, is a gross misrepresentation of the original FISA.
b) he continues to claim that FISC of Review is the only court in the land that can be trusted with these cases because of its expertise with spying and its ability to protect government secrets.
Unfortunately there is nothing to support him here.
The three judges of the FISA Court of Review (FISCR) met only once in its entire history (30 years) to issue one single opinion. The current three judges (Portland, OR, one Washington, DC and third one who knows where) likely never sat together in the same room more than once. They spend all their working days as regular judges having nothing to do with FISA matters. Neither of them ever heard even one single government FISA warrant application in their entire judicial lives.
It's quite clear these judges had ZERO chance to develop ANY experience in FISA matters. Similarly their ability to protected government secrets remains equally entirely untested, for all we know they could leak as bad as Bush's White House.
Sen. Specter is grossly misrepresenting things here.
c) there is zero evidence that regular courts leak government secrets recklessly as insinuated by Sen. Specter. The fact is, most of them tend to bend over backward to protect the executive and its security agencies, often drastically disadvantaging defendants and plaintiffs alike.
d) forcing all NSA cases to go the FISCR is a blatant attempt to bypass regular courts so to facilitate their dismissal by a special court whose rules, as everybody aggress, make it impossible to handle cases fairly for the plaintiffs.
e) there is still no explanation from Specter why he wants the FISA court empowered to dismiss cases for ANY grounds. I hate to point it out to Sen. Specter but even totalitarian judicial systems never claimed such powers for their judges.

It was back in 2009 when the 60-year-old Art Institute of Atlanta, a system of more than 45 education institutions located throughout North America, decided to open a branch in Northern Virginia.
The school offered a mix of contemporary and traditional arts classes designed for the creative student who was looking for higher education in fields such as graphic design, fashion and retail management, animation and interactive media.
When Gregg Crowe became campus director about 18 months ago, he felt that people in the area had heard of the great programs the institute had to offer but believed the school needed a better identity to get them to come to the campus.
�I am not a native to the area and I felt the name Northern Virginia didn�t really pinpoint where we are located in the metropolitan area,� Crowe said. �For those students and parents trying to figure out where we were, I wanted a name to help people really zero in on us. I thought Dulles was a clear geographic point for locals and non locals alike.�
Thus, the school�s name was changed to The Art Institute of Washington-Dulles earlier this year. As of the spring 2012 semester, more than 350 students were enrolled in the branch.
With an emphasis on design, fashion and media, Crowe said The Art Institute of Washington-Dulles� strongest programs are in media animation, graphic art and fashion management.
�We are a creative fine arts school providing an education for students who are artistically inclined,� he said. �These are students who are creative and want to work in the arts and apply arts to some practical application. Students who are very certain of what they want to do choose us.�
One of those is third-year student Ben Morse, who is studying Arts & Animation with career aspirations to work at Pixar.
�Originally, I was looking to take some classes online so I could continue working, but then I learned of this school and it had the creative classes I was looking for,� Morse said. �After about a year of attending the Institute, I was enjoying myself and learning far more than I expected. My classes are preparing me to work in development or animated movies.�
While taking a color theory class, Morse had an idea to create a large-scale pavement art display—one large enough to enter the Guinness Book of World Records—by having all art students draw around the parking lots and pavement of the school and neighboring Dulles Town Center. Morse is finishing up getting all the permits necessary, and the project is expected to get underway in the fall.
�I wanted to do something for this particular branch and thought it would be fun to do a large community project to draw a lot of attention to the students we have,� Morse said.
It�s inspirational ideas like this, Crowe said, that proves how beneficial an arts school can be. The ultimate goal of the school is to not only provide a great education, but to help students be competitive in the working world. To that end, the director was also responsible for starting a new initiative last year.
�One of the things we instituted was an academic support center,� Crowe said. �It provides all students tutoring in academic areas and assistance with school work at no cost so they can be competitive working adults.�
The Institute also holds job fairs, brings in professional guests who have made names for themselves in the arts industry and employs 10 career service advisors to help all graduates find jobs in their chosen field within six months of graduating. Currently, it has an approximate 85 percent success rate.
�Part of our curriculum is a portfolio show,� Crowe said. �Throughout their academic career here, part of their time is spent putting together a professional portfolio to show to prospective employers.�
The Art Institute of Washington-Dulles also has its own gallery, where art students and community artists can display their work. Last month they invited public school art teachers to hang their art, to help foster a relationship with the schools in the area.
�Art is an important part of our culture and schools like ours that focus on creative arts wouldn�t exist without public schools poking the fire,� Crowe said. �We have an impressive faculty of working professionals striving to strengthen students� skills and cultivate their talents.�

Is our intelligence a continuous stream of connected photons and our human body just a focus point?
In that scenario the mind is real and most everything else is an illusion in which case anything that can be imaged is possible. So why not imagine a world with less destruction and violence from mankind.
Sep 15 2013: I believe that everything starts with a dream Raymond, and I have been imagining a world with less destruction and violence since I was a child. I think/feel for the concept to work well, we need enough people to imagine the same thing, and apply the idea in our everyday lives:>)
"BE" what we want to "SEE" in our world.
Sep 16 2013: From what I have seen violence can produce a momentary high but leads to extreme dread for everyone involved. Why do it? Its time to stop playing cowboys and Indians.Sep 26 2013: If that were the case, I would start imagining not being a human at all... far too imperfect.
But this doesn't seem to work, and we are 'stuck' with what we call reality.
A good way to get a better world seems to me to improve it in the best way you seem fit (while consulting other people when doing so &c &c).
Sep 27 2013: Anything we do must include everybody. That means no preferential treatment. Its funny deep down we all want the same things; love, freedom, to be involved. The problem is we listen to others telling us we need more.Sep 23 2013: Raymond, a very deep question you have thought of ... im no good at this but ill try.
My view is that intelligence has to come from a physical body. It just doesn't pop out of nowhere. So in my view, it is a physical body that generates a continuous stream of connected photons (intelligence) that serves to benefit the organism that generated it in the first place.
The body therefore is not just the focus point..anymore, .its both the body and the mind.. so why not imagine a world with less violence? it depends on the type of mind and what direction it wants to take. If the nature of mind is to be simply be intelligent it wouldn't be a question of why imagine a world without destruction. Unfortunately the nature of the mind is to benefit itself.. and therefore to satisfy itself. The path to satisfaction is not about just about being intelligent... destruction and violence can be satisfying to some.
Sep 27 2013: I don't see the mind being made of atoms. Quantum physics says things do seem to pop out of nowhere.
Sep 28 2013: the mind i assume is made up of the stream of atoms/photons whatever you may call it. Its the organization of these forces that forms the mind. Not the atom itself.
In the same way we can cause a computer to process information like a human mind... there is no real conscience.. but the only reason why a computer can process information and "think" like a human is because of the electron flow over the electronics.Sep 16 2013: I'm not sure it follows that if the mind is material every thing else is an illusion.
I suggest imagining followed by some planning and communication and work might help make the world peace full not just imagining.
Sep 17 2013: Imagination leads to action. Just look at the violent games and movies. Peoples action stemming from someone's else's imagination on the screen.Sep 15 2013: The world's visually impaired people will probably disagree with your connected photon theory of intelligence.
Sep 16 2013: The photon spectrum contains more than just light and color. It also contains radio waves. People who cannot see have a much greater perception of sound then people who can see.
Sep 16 2013: The eardrum is not excited by photons. The electro-magnetic energy must first be converted to physical vibrations which activate the hearing process. There is no connection between "connected photon streams" and intelligence.
Sep 16 2013: What if the eardrum is not real but something we imagine as a way to physically explain how we perceive sound in a physical world.Sep 16 2013: RE: "What if the eardrum. . . " One thing you can not write-off to imagination is the intense, excruciating pain you will experience if your eardrum ever gets perforated. There is no connection between "connected photon streams" and intelligence.
Sep 16 2013: Could the pain be the eardrum signaling the mind that it needs attention.
edward long
Sep 16 2013: RE: : "Could the pain be. . . ". No. Pain is non-existent without the mind. The pain is the mind signaling the injured person to seek treatment. There is no connection between "connected photon streams" and intelligence.
- +1
Sep 17 2013: Within the spectrum of photons/light are radio waves. Photons have no physical properties. So could it not be that we perceive sounds via something we can imagine as being physical.Sep 17 2013: RE: "Within the spectrum. . . " You ask, "could it not be. . . " An affirmative answer to a question so worded indicates: "Yes, it is possible that it could not be." One could also say: "It is not impossible for it to not be." It follows then that since it is possible, but not certain, for IT to not be, then IT could be. Since "IT" represents your assertion that the hearing process is based upon no physical sensations or vibrations but upon imaginary probabilities only, then the process could not be studied by the Scientific Method. Without empirical data no predictive experiment could be designed; no observation performed; no comparisons of data performed; and no conclusions reached. Epistemologically the world of imagining is invisible, immeasureable, and void of information. Imagine there being no justification to continue this line of investigation.Sep 15 2013: we must prove the unprovable for maybe we turn into the maxim

Were larger-scale LEGO figures the standard at some point in the past? It just seems odd to me that they're called "mini" when they're basically the only kind of LEGO figures available (not counting vastly larger figures that are themselves models.)

The minifigure is so-called because the original LEGO "Family" figures that were released in 1974 where somewhat larger, with bodies made from 2x2 Bricks, and arms made from hinged tubes.
There's a bit more of a condensed history in the minifigure tag wiki, and there is a bit more information about the minifigure as we know it today in the Company Profile
Apart from the family figures, there was also the 1988 Technic action figures set (8712), which stood about 2.5 minifigs high from memory. There have been a few iterations over the years up into the 90's.

Chalet Iseran enjoys a convenient central location with Val d'Isere's many shops, bars and restaurants close by. The free ski bus stop is in front of the building and the Solaise and Bellevarde chairlifts are approximately 400 metres away.
The chalet apartment will be newly renovated for the 2014/15 season. Named after the highest mountain pass in the Alps, Col de l'Iseran, the chalet sets high standards in terms of décor with a modern alpine style and plush furnishings. After a long day on the slopes of Val d'Isere you're welcomed into the lovely open-plan lounge and dining area; a perfect place to relax in comfort and luxury. All bedrooms are en suite and fitted in a contemporary-modern style. Three rooms offering multiple bed options allow space for up to 12 guests and with this degree of flexibility makes it a superb option for families and groups alike. This is a chalet apartment with all the right attributes; and after a renovating breath of fresh air, all the style too.
CateredFlexible CateringThis chalet is available with flexible catering. With a range of catering and hosting options from the bare minimum to the full works - The choice really is yours!You really can't beat a chalet for the real home-from-home environment; large living areas with comfortable sofas, a roaring log fire and often your own private hot tub or sauna. But whilst the fully catered chalet offers fantastic value for money, we recognise that some of you may prefer a little more flexibility in your catering arrangements and may even prefer to cook for yourselves altogether.So what do you get?

Totally agree with this right here. Pretty good? Sure. Best trail in the world? Hardly. But that's my 2 cents.
This all goes back the the "geographic skewing" of the ratings. A certain level of accessibility is required to ride a trail. We'd probably all put The Whole Enchilada and The Downieveille Downhill ahead of Buff Creek, but how often do we actually get to ride those? But Buff Creek is always there for us, without requiring us to take a week's vacation or dip into the kids college fund. Maybe it deserves extra points on that account.
Well, it's close for some of us

You can never go from a slow team to a fast team in one year. This FO has shown they would rather have big strong guys, as opposed to slightly smaller much faster guys.
You CAN however go from a inept offense to an aggressive one in one year. I think Henne could get it done under a real OC. Unfortunately he has been "tainted" by this Geritol spokesman masquerading as an NFL OC. If we got Andrew Luck in here, no one would care that we don't have team speed. Just go ask the Patriots if they need team speed. That has to be the slowest team in the NFL, yet they win consistently. Why? Tom Brady. Question for ya. Who is the fastest guy on the Patriots? Tough question, huh?
I'm a huge proponent of sitting young QBs behind a veteran for a few seasons for this reason. It gives them time to learn the intricacies of the game without the huge expectations and the harassment from the fans if you so much as take a dump the wrong way. When you start the young QBs right away, the learning process happens on the field instead of in a safe environment. That leaves the learning much less predictable since you can't control what happens in a game. If it was me in charge, I would have kept Henne on the bench this season and probably next as well. Then in 2012, he can take over since he has learned how to read defenses, look off his receivers, and do all the other little things QBs are expected to do in order be more than average...
What makes it almost impossible for fans or any other casual observer to come to any sort of informed conclusions is the lack of knowledge of what goes on in the film study, or on the practice field, or in the conversations between qb and coordinator. We're left to judge solely based on performance on the field, and there are so many variables that are left unseen. It doesn't help matters when the coaches themselves are ignorant.
Personally I'm not much of a fan of Henne. I've never played the position so I don't have a clue what's going on in their heads but some guys seem to be able to have their mind in multiple places at once. They're aware of the pass rush and where their receivers are, all the while keeping in mind the situation and what the objective is. To me Henne looks like a guy who processes one thing at a time, and if the first doesn't work hes slow to move onto the next. Maybe that's something you improve on or maybe that "feel" for the pocket is just something that comes naturally to some. Who knows how Marino knew to step up or aside when he did, leaving defenders grasping for air....all the while keeping his eyes downfield.
Still, I'd give him at least another year. If for no other reason than continuity. This team has a bunch of really talented players on both sides of the ball either in or entering their prime, and it seems like such a waste to spend another two years going through another two years of youth at qb. I don't think this team is good enough to win like the Jets are doing now or the Ravens and Falcons did last year with young and mistake prone qbs.
Well said Locke, I agree that the art of QBing is being lost on the instant expectation being put on them. I think they bring it upon themselves with the huge salaries they demand before even taking a snap also. QB is the toughest postion to master. Henne needs more time before we condem him. I think he also needs better coaching and I am not speaking about the terrible play calling. IMO what Henne needs to master with the help of coaching is a several things:
1. His accuracy He isnt horrible but he could place the ball better more consistently. This is a fixable issue and his coaches should be coaching that into him. He can do it he just needs to coached how to do it on every throw.
2. His delivery. He does not throw laser passes. I know he has a cannon arm but if you watch the ball he doesnt release it fast and hard like he should. This is another fixable item with the help of his coaches and some extra time in the weightroom.
3. His reads. He checks down more then he should. I think he either lacks confidence in himself or his recievers, or he lacks the ability to anticipate where his reciever is going to break and where is going to be before he is there. He throws like is playing catch with his guys rather then exploiting defenses by understanding the coverage they are using and putting the ball in places that recievers can break on the ball and make plays and make the defenses that face him look foolish. He needs to be in the filmroom breaking it down more. Again coaches can help him with that too.
4. Pocket pressence. This is something I do not think the coaches can do much for him and he is going to have to develop that 6th sense
on his own. He isnt afraid to stand in there and take a hit but he has to figure out how to extend a play when defenders on seemingly going to get him. He needs to become more elusive. It takes awareness of who is where and how long he needs to buy for the play to unfold and him to deliver it on target.
I am not Anti-Henne by any stretch but he is very raw and needs a lot of polishing before he can be considered a legitimate franchise level QB. The circumstances in Miami does not afford him the luxry that Arron Rodgers recieved in Green Bay. Henne has to learn on the field because we have nobody else better. I know some of you are going to flame me here but if Vince Young does get released and we can woo him to Miami without giving him an obscene amount of money or a slew of draft picks, I think thats the best alternative that is a long shot but plausable.
Finfan13 and anyone else hoping to get luck here is dreaming. There is no garuntee he declares but if he does there are too many teams in front of us who are as desperate as we are for a decent QB. They are not going to let us trade up for him or the other two QB's being talked about in this draft class. I think if Young gets released he will be out of reach for us too because it will probably take us getting into a bidding war and force us to massivily overpay for him and he has a reputation of being unreliable under Fischer.
The reason I am high on Young is not because I think he is a great QB but I do think he is better the Henne is right now. Signing Young could provide Henne some relief from the pressure of being the starter. Young I think is a better QB then he appears to be under Fischer. I think Fischer is not helping Young and it is reflecting in his play. I think under a coach who believes in him could turn him into a much better QB. If Miami could make him feel like he fits in here it could be a win/win situation for everyone. I would even seriously consider if the deal included us swapping QB's. Tennesse may better suited to develop Henne while Young may thrive here.
I think it actually happening is a longshot but if the opprotunity showed itself I would be in favor of pulling the trigger. At worst it buys us a few seasons to shop for another QB without tanking the next few seasons. JMO

1/4 cup

1/3 cup
grated carrot
1 (10 ounce) package
frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
2 2/3 (6 ounce) cans
tomato paste
1 (4.5 ounce) can
sliced mushrooms, drained
2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
dried oregano
2 tablespoons
dried basil
2 1/2 tablespoons
crushed red pepper
bay leaves
1 (28 ounce) can
peeled and crushed tomatoes, with liquid
A great recipe for the slow cooker. After reading some of the reviews, I too decided to cut down on the herbs. Instead of using tablespoons, I used teaspoon measurements. It was awesome and went well with the gnocchi that I used. I think you need a heavy pasta to go with this sauce which turns out quite thick. I may even scale down the amount of tomato paste the next time around.
this recipe is decent for a shopping list. the first time i followed the recipe exactly, but the onions and garlic never broke down and melded with the other flavors. the second time I sauteed the onions and garlic in the olive oil, adding the herbs and spices one minute before removing from heat. i also added some chicken broth to thin it down and some sugar to calm the acidity of the store-brand tomato paste i bought. the result was delicious! three star recipe, five star results.

Not good, the spinach, carrots, and mushrooms are a good idea however the recipe calls for too much tomato paste and not enough crushed tomatoes. There was too much cracked red pepper and not enough garlic. My mouth was on fire, next time I will try my own measurements with the ingredients.
What a good recipe! I did cut the amounts of salt, pepper and garlic in half. I layered it with lasagna noodles and cheese - the "hot spinach lasagna" was a hit.
This was a great sauce that I will definitely be making again. I reduced the salt, oregano, and basil to 1 tbsp; the red pepper to 1/2 tbsp; and the tomato paste to 1 (12-oz) can. It was very thick in my slow cooker and I had to add a little water. I used this in place of the tomato sauce in the Tofu Parmigiana recipe on this website and also served it over penne pasta on the side. My husband and I were disappointed when we ran out of leftovers the next day.
Some of the reviews weren't good, so I wasn't expecting much, but this was pretty tasty. I did, though, adjust the recipe based on suggestions. Didn't add salt, added less oregano, then fresh basil at the last hour of cooking. Just a sprinkling of crushed red pepper, but it still had a bite. Used only 1 can of tomato paste--plenty--in fact, next time, I might skip it and just add some tomato sauce. Was quite thick--I ate it on spaghetti, but I think it would work great in a spinach lasagne.
This was pretty good. I let out the Olive Oil, really didn't see a point to it. I let the sauce cook for about 3 hours on low, and then added 2 chicken breasts, and continued cooking for about 5 more hours on low.
The sauce was really really thick. Next time I think I will add a little white wine, and maybe some chicken stock to thin it out a little.
All in all though, nice and healthy and easy!
Excellent! Everyone loved it. Absolutely THE BEST marinara sauce I've ever had... BY FAR! It was definitely worth the effort.

But his world is turned upside down when his grandmother dies and he is forced to live with his dysfunctional relatives who have no patience for him or his senile grandfather, who they quickly force into a nursing home. Luke is left with his grandfather's final semi-coherent words: "Get a job. Find a girl. Live your own life. Be a man!" For the first time in his life, Luke has a mission. He is about to embark on a quest.

This instructable will cover how to make a light seeking robot (Photovore), and some robotics and motor control basics. This robot can be built with parts found at the nearest Radio Shack, if you already have an Arduino board and a robotic base. The cost for a five pack of CdS cells (Light dependent resistors) cost $2.99 at Radio Shack. and a 15 pack of NPN transistors (very useful later on) are also $2.99. Of all these parts, we will only need two NPN transistors and two CdS cells.
Please remember, this is my first instructable.
I really appreciate criticism, comments, questions, and suggestions.
Your feedback will help me improve this instructable and future instructables created by me.

sweet sweet banter
Do you mind posting the full code at the end or something like that.
That would really be helpfull!
Can you please tell me where to attach the orange and yellow cables that go under the arduino?? Email me at email@example.com. Thanks a lot!!

what is the alternative of tamiya tracked vehicle chassis?
please tell me which wire to attach where.
you can mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com
plz inform me.
and dude awesome project
and on the top of the board I put Xbee to send the reading wirelessly to MatLab and plot some graph.
I absolutely adore the Tamiya base. I remember seeing it at Fry's one day and buying it with the express intent to build a robot :)
Never did finish the sensor package I wanted for mine so it just took a range reading on objects in front of it. Then took the last bid from that reading to decide on turning right or left. Always meant to go back and finish it but alas my cat had other plans ...... like puking on it ~.~
And I have a problem i cant get the same readings from both sensors they are very different i tried using 2 5k pots the change the values but they dont work well at all. I was thinking about constraining the values and mapping them to 0 - 255 but i cant figure out a code for that. I am using the LDRs for a Line Follower.
The transistors are being used to drive the motors. The Arduino cant source enough power on its own, the transistors are acting essentially like a light switch that the Arduino can flip on and off that connects directly to the power supply.
I'm rusty but the resistors are either acting for biasing or to limit the current, maybe both.
A lot of times you will see both a capacitor and a diode hooked up to a DC motor, the caps help with the initial power draw that the motor can place on your supply.
The diodes are there to prevent reverse power flow from the motors. Motors are act a lot like inductors. primarily because both are essentially wire windings. When you power an inductor it induces a magnetic field. When you stop the power flow to the inductor that field collapses and you are going to get a negative voltage spike.
As for the sensors the question is how different are the readings and are you taking readings under the same conditions? Just to decide if they are working properly you should probably take a multimeter and get a resistance reading. First by covering the sensor then by saturating it with as much light as you can. As long as those readings are similar and within spec for the part then you are fine.
The rest of the time the readings should be different. That is how the robot decides which direction to go.
it is an rc car and is using the arduino motor shield which has an H-bridge.
over serial it appears to work fine, but when driving it's steering wheels keep turning back and forth rapidly and randomly, sometimes stopping a bit in the left turn position.
i don't really know the problem, the left and right turning codes have worled otherwise in non-sensor tests.
i really want this to work, it is my first arduino robot, so i am kinda a noob.
i chose the rc car as a chassis because it was easier to obtain than the tamiya, although i might get that when i have more money.
also i was using the makershield, and now a full sized breadboard to maximize the space between the two sensors but has not helped,
anybody know the problem or how to fix it,
my rc car was also modified to be switched from rc or arduino control, so it still has a rc board within its body, but the motors are connected to both the arduino and rc board. the power is from the on-board battery holder with 4 AA batteries. the power connections are to the Vin and ground screw holes on the arduino motor shield.
any help will be greatly appreciated
How were you able to connect the Protoboard to the motors?
I am currently following this tutorial (in my spare time), and right now I have completed the base, platform, and building the protoboard. What is the next step?
I appreciate any help I can get
Thank you.

I have an ADP1 running 2.2.1, and used it with my Google Account. I have to give it to a friend, and want to erase all my personal data viz. email, chat logs, photos in the gallery synced with picasa, and any other stuff that might be synced. But the problem is, I do not want to lose the apps. Is there a way to erase my data, without losing the apps?

Backup your apps using Astro File Manager or MyBackupPro or Titanium Backup.
THEN perform a Factory reset to wipe everything.
Finally, from the backups, restore the Apps, but NOT the data. (Most backup apps allow you to do this.)
Be warned that some apps store data on the storage card, so a fresh install might still pick up the old data off your SD card. Be sure to erase your SD Card too.
Every program under 'Settings' - 'Applications' , 'Manage applications' has, when clicked a 'Clear data' button.
This should do what you want.

Among those who have come and gone through WNUR's The Rock Show, I don't know if there's anything as memorable as the Rock Bible; over more than twenty years, the Rock Show staff has compiled a seriously exhaustive compendium of independent, alternative, and experimental music. The pages of the Rock Bible serve as the basis for The Rock Show's DJ training meetings, and many of them have never been released to the public.
For the first time, we're opening the Rock Bible up to the world; every week, we're going to take you through some of the book's highlights. Some of these will be great primers on musical genres or styles, some of them will have awesome designs, and some we're not totally sure what they were doing in the book in the first place. After the jump, see for yourself what the first week of Torn From The Bible has to bring:

Assay Overview:
The primary HTS will be performed using SK-MEL-5 melanoma cells stably expressing a construct that contains the TRPM1 promoter upstream of a luciferase reporter gene. TRPM-1 is a known target of the transcription factor, microphtalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). The assay in its current format utilizes plating of 2000 cells per well in 384 well plates using 30 mul total volume (cells plus media) per well. This will allow us to use a volume of 100 nl for pinning of the compounds 24 hours later. The cells will be incubated with test molecules for 24 hours and the luciferase activity will be detected using 20 mul per well of the Steady Glo Reagent from Perkin Elmer. The positive control is parthenolide which is known to decrease TRPM-1 expression and kill melanoma cells.
Expected outcome:
Compounds that inhibit MITF directly or indirectly will reduce the expression of TRPM-1 expression and lead to a reduction in luminescence signal. Compounds that increase the activity of MITF or somehow lead to increased expression of TRPM-1 will lead to an increase in luminescence signal.
MITF Primary Screening Protocol
(TRPM-1 Promoter//Luciferase reporter assay)
Day 1, plate TRPM-1 luc/SKMEL5 cells at 2000 per well in 30 uL media (phenol red free DMEM/10% heat inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum/Penicillin/Streptomycin/L-Glutamine)
Day 2, pin 100 nL compound/DMSO solution into 30 uL assay volume in white, opaque Corning 8867 barcoded 384 well plates. (For HTS, will require sentinel pinning with the positive control, parthenolide)
Incubate 24 hours at 37 degrees C in Liconic incubator.
Day 3, add 20 uL 100% Promega SteadyGlo per well with Thermo Combi fluid transfer apparatus.
Shake 15 seconds on "big bear" plate shaker and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes.
Read on the Perkin-Elmer EnVision plate reader with ultra-sensitive luminescence (US LUM) settings for 0.5 sec per well
PRESENCE OF CONTROLS: Neutral control wells (NC; n=104) and positive control wells (PC; n=20) were included on every plate.
EXPECTED OUTCOME: Active compounds result in decreasing readout signal.
For each sample, the highest valid tested concentration (Max_Concentration) was determined and the active concentration limit (AC_limit) was set to equal (2)(Max_Concentration).
The raw signals of the plate wells were normalized using the 'Neutral Controls Minus Inhibitors' method in Genedata Assay Analyzer (v7.0.3):
The median raw signal of the intraplate neutral control wells was set to a normalized activity value of 0.
The median raw signal of the intraplate positive control wells was set to a normalized activity value of -100.
Experimental wells values were scaled to this range.
PATTERN CORRECTION: No plate pattern correction algorithm from Genedata Condoseo (v.7.0.3) was applied.
AC values were calculated using the curve fitting strategies in Genedata Screener Condoseo (7.0.3).
AC values were calculated up to the active concentration limit described for each sample.
pAC was set to equal -1*log10(AC)
Activity_Outcome = 1 (inactive) when:
a) compound shows activity but in a direction opposite to the expected outcome
in these cases, values describing curve fitting parameters (Sinf, S0, Hill Slope, log_AC50, log_AC50_SE) are set to null
b) curve fit is constant where activity is > -30% and < 30% at all tested concentrations, or
c) AC > AC_limit
Activity_Outcome = 2 (active) when:
AC <= AC_limit
Activity_Outcome = 3 (inconclusive) when:
a) Curve fitting strategy resulted in a constant fit with activity >= -70% but <= -30%, or
b) The fit was deemed not valid due to poor fit quality.
If PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 1 (inactive) or 3 (inconclusive),
then PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = 0
If PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 2 (active)
then PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = (10)(pAC)
Scores relate to AC in this manner:
120 = 1 pM
90 = 1 nM
60 = 1 uM
30 = 1 mM
When the active concentration (AC) is calculated to be greater than the highest valid tested concentration (Max_Concentration), the PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is calculated using Max_Concentration as the basis.
When the active concentration (AC) is calculated to be less than the lowest tested concentration, the PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is calculated using the lowest tested concentration as the basis.
The individual dose data point columns ('Activity_at_xxuM') reported here represent the median of valid (unmasked) replicate observations at each concentration. These values are the inputs to a curve fitting algorithm.
All other data columns represent values which are derived during the curve fitting algorithm; this may sometimes include automatic further masking of some replicate data points.
Occasionally this results in perceived inconsistencies: for example, between the derived 'Maximal_Activity' and the apparent most active data point.
