The Federal Budget Battle Continues
Welcome to Politics Bites, where every afternoon at It's A Free Country, we bring you the unmissable quotes from the morning's political conversations on WNYC. Today on the Brian Lehrer Show, Reihan Salam, National Review contributor who writes "The Agenda", the National Review's domestic policy blog, talked about the budget battles in Congress from a right-of-center point of view.
The President and House Committee Chairman, Rep. Paul Ryan (R), continue to battle over how to reduce the deficit and their federal budget plans. But Reihan Salam said he's hopeful about the path they're on and sees the potential for compromise.
There has even been some agreement between the President and Rep. Ryan — on cleaning up tax expenditures.
How do tax expenditures work?
According to Salam, the federal government engages in a lot of social policy through the tax code by giving incentives and deductions called tax expenditures, but this is problematic and it's doing the opposite of what we need it to do, he said.
We lose a lot of revenue by telling people, hey, if you're buying a house and spending money on mortgage interest, that's going to be tax free up to X amount. We say the same thing for employer sponsored health insurance coverage and a lot of other things. The problem is these tax expenditures are a really bad way of making government policy.
If you say that we're going to give a huge tax break to employer sponsored coverage, it has a number of ill effects. One of them is that if you don't get health coverage through your job, guess what? You don't get the subsidy. Or if you pay higher taxes because you have a higher income, well you get a bigger tax break than someone who makes less money which creates this very ironic situation where we're effectively channeling more of this government money to people who don't need it than to people who do.
The 'agreement' between Obama and Ryan
Salam argued, that though there is some consensus between Ryan and Obama in their desire to save money by cleaning up these expenditures, there's still a subtle difference in their arguments. Obama has said he wants to curve tax expenditures for the top two percent, but according to Salam, this step isn't big enough.
The thing is that there are a ton of households who are making between about $100,000 and $250,000 a year who benefit tremendously from these tax expenditures and if you don't curb the tax expenditures for those guys, you're not going to make the progress you need to make.
I think that what Paul Ryan is saying, and what the President has suggested at different points, is that [tax expenditures] are disproportionately used by higher income Americans but the thing is that in terms of the U.S., the median household income is a little bit above $50,000, so while in a place in New York City, it seems like a guy who's making $150,000 who owns a condo, you're squarely in the middle class and that might be true, but in terms of the country you're pretty affluent so when you're using that tax break, you're using something that is benefiting a more affluent household over a less affluent household...
It's all about the tax code
Salam said, Rep. Paul is arguing for a more even playing field in the tax code. And this is why:
The tax code right now is treating households making the same amount of money really really differently depending on other characteristics. So, let's say you are, like me, a renter. A renter and and a homeowner at about the same level of income are treated very different because the renter is taking a big hit where as the homeowner is getting this big tax subsidy through the tax code. So, in that sense New Yorkers in particular get a really raw deal from the way the tax code works...
So, what is the most efficient way to raise tax revenue?
Tax expenditures are really opaque. People don't fully understand them and they really have a very unfair impact...So, we're spending a hundred billion dollars every year on the mortgage interest tax deduction that lest we forget, doesn't give renters a dime and the Bush tax cuts for high earners...that a lot of folks on the left-of-center side were attacking, that cost $700 billion over ten years so you actually get much more revenue by getting rid of that one tax expenditure, let alone a lot of other less justifiable tax expenditures, than you would from raising those marginal tax rates...There's a lot of consensus among economist that tax expenditures are just bad any way you slice it.
What's ahead?
As for the bipartisan "Gang of Six," who are charged with creating a deficit reduction compromise, Salam said he's hopeful. The group is a good representation of conservative and liberal sides of the coin, he said. And it's not the only thing Salam finds encouraging.
People have focused on how far apart the President and Paul Ryan are, but we suddenly are leaving this realm of shadow boxing and kabuki theater of debating the budget and talking about the real things we'd have to do, the real visions for getting us off this high debt path.

Jules Verne was one of the earliest science fiction writers. He based his stories on the inventions of the day and made educated projections of future technologies. Like the best science fiction writers he did not let technology overtake his story or his characters.
In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Verne created the character of Captain Nemo and his submarine vessel the Nautilus. An entire ecosystem under the sea was shown by Verne and he showed how men could live in this environment.
After reading this book, you will never forget Captain Nemo and his crew battling the giant squid and feel a certain degree of sadness when above water civilization finds them.

Chapter One
A Shifting Reef
The year 1866 was marked by a strange event, an unexplainable occurrence which is undoubtedly still fresh in everyone's memory. Those living in coastal towns or in the interior of continents were aroused by all sorts of rumors; but it was seafaring people who were particularly excited. Merchants, shipowners, skippers and masters of Europe and America, naval officers of all countries and the various governments of both continents were deeply concerned over the matter.
Several ships had recently met at sea "an enormous thing," a long slender object which was sometimes phosphorescent and which was infinitely larger and faster than a whale.
The facts concerning this apparition, entered in various logbooks, agreed closely with one another as to the structure of the object or creature in question, the incredible speed of its movements, the surprising power of its locomotion and the strange life with which it seemed endowed. If it was a member of the whale family, it was larger than any so far classified by scientists. Neither Cuvier, Lacépède, Dumeril nor Quatrefages would have admitted that such a monster could exist--unless they had seen it with their own scientists' eyes.
Taking an average of observations made at different times'and rejecting those timid evaluations which said the object was only two hundred feet long, and also putting aside those exaggerated opinions which said it was a mile wide and three miles long'one could nevertheless conclude that this phenomenal creature was considerably larger than anything at that time recognized by ichthyologists'if it existed at all.
But it didexist--there was no denying this fact any longer--and considering the natural inclination of the human brain toward objects of wonder, one can understand the excitement produced throughout the world by this supernatural apparition. In any case, the idea of putting it into the realm of fiction had to be abandoned.
On July 20, 1866, the steamer Governor Higginson of the Calcutta and Burnach Steam Navigation Company had encountered this moving mass five miles east of the Australian coast. Captain Baker first thought he had sighted an unknown reef; he was even getting ready to plot its exact position when two columns of water spurted out of the inexplicable object and rose with a loud whistling noise to a height of a hundred and fifty feet. So, unless the reef contained a geyser, the Governor Higginson was quite simply in the presence of an unknown aquatic mammal, spurting columns of water mixed with air and vapor out of its blowholes.
A similar thing was observed on July 23 of the same year in Pacific waters, by the Christopher Columbus of the West India and Pacific Steam Navigation Company. This extraordinary creature could therefore move from one place to another with surprising speed, since within a space of only three days, the Governor Higginson and the Christopher Columbus had sighted it at two points on the globe separated by more than 2100 nautical miles.
Two weeks later and six thousand miles from this last spot, the Helvetia of the Compagnie Nationale and the Shannon of the Royal Mail Steamship Company, passing on opposite courses in that part of the Atlantic lying between the United States and Europe, signaled one another that they had sighted the monster at 42° 15' N. Lat. and 60° 35' W. Long. In this simultaneous observation they felt able to judge the creature's minimum length at more than 350 feet, since it was larger than both ships each of which measured 330 feet over-all. But the largest whales, the Kulammak and Umgullick that live in the waters around the Aleutian Islands, never exceed 180 feet in length, if that much.
These reports arriving one after the other, with fresh observations made on board the liner Le Pereire, a collision between the Etna of the Inman Line and the monster, an official report drawn up by the officers of the French frigate Normandie, and a very reliable sighting made by Commodore Fitz-James' staff on board the Lord Clyde, greatly stirred public opinion. In lighthearted countries, people made jokes about it, but in serious practical-minded countries, such as England, America and Germany, it was a matter of grave concern.
In every big city the monster became the fashion: it was sung in cafés, derided in newspapers and discussed on the stage. Scandal sheets had a marvelous opportunity to print all kinds of wild stories. Even ordinary newspapers--always short of copy--printed articles about every huge, imaginary monster one could think of, from the white whale, the terrible "Moby Dick" of the far north, to the legendary Norse kraken whose tentacles could entwine a five-hundred-ton ship and drag it to the bottom. Reports of ancient times were mentioned, the opinions of Aristotle and Pliny who admitted to the existence of such monsters, along with those of the Norwegian bishop, Pontoppidan, Paul Heggede and finally Mr. Harrington, whose good faith no one can question when he claims to have seen, while on board the Castillan in 1857, that enormous serpent which until then had been seen in no waters but those of the old Paris newspaper, the Constitutionnel.
It was then that in scientific societies and journals an interminable argument broke out between those who believed in the monster and those who did not. The "question of the monster" had everyone aroused. Newspapermen, who always pretend to be on the side of scientists and against those who live by their imagination, spilled gallons of ink during this memorable campaign; and some even spilled two or three drops of blood, after arguments that had started over sea serpents and ended in the most violent personal insults.
For six months this war was waged with varying fortune. Serious, weighty articles were published by the Brazilian Geographical Institute, the Royal Scientific Academy of Berlin, the British Association and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington; others appeared in the Indian Archipelago, in Abbé Moigno's Cosmos, in Petermann's Mittheilungen and in the science sections of all the important newspapers of France and other countries.20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

This post will investigate the molecular cell biology of platelet formation. Platelets are small cells involved in blood clotting and thrombosis in many disease settings, particularly heart disease and stroke. They bud from large bone marrow-derived stem cells called megakaryocytes, and the process of their birth is currently not known. We have evidence that this is regulated by a series of protein kinase-dependent events, including by protein kinase C-alpha.
The project will use a variety of state-of-the-art molecular approaches, including lentiviral expression of constructs in primary human and mouse haematopoietic stem cells and advanced light and electron microscopic imaging approaches to address how platelets are formed in-vitro and in-vivo. We are a highly active lab with an international reputation in the field of platelet cell biology. The lab forms part of the Bristol Platelet Group (www.bristolplatelets.org), where there is significant and well-funded critical mass in investigating these cells in health and disease contexts.
We are looking for a highly ambitious self-starter with an outstanding background in molecular cell biology, particularly with advanced microscopy experience, to join our group to take on this exciting project.
If successful, you may be appointed either on a fixed-term or an open-ended contract depending on the extent of your previous relevant research experience. Three years' appropriate and relevant experience at another higher education institution would normally lead to an appointment on an open-ended contract.

Piquet clinches Formula E's first title
June 28th, 2015
Nelson Piquet Jr claimed the inaugural Formula E Championship in a dramatic finale in Battersea, won by Sam Bird. Team China Racing driver Piquet pipped Sebastien Buemi by a single point despite starting 10 places behind his nearest championship rival going into the race. Piquet took seventh position, two places behind Buemi's e.dams entry, to take a championship victory that looked a long shot after the Brazilian qualified only 16th. Piquet said: "Today was such a hectic race. "I tried to avoid asking my team any questions and I didn't know that I had won until I cross the line." The ex-Formula 1 driver gained four places at the start before conserving energy to go at least one lap longer than the rest of the field in his first car. [...]
Piquet only 16th as Sarrazin gets pole
June 28th, 2015
Points leader Nelson Piquet Jr will line up only 16th for Sunday afternoon's Formula E championship after rain interrupted qualifying, while Stephane Sarrazin took pole. Team China Racing driver Piquet encountered the wettest of the conditions as part of the third five-car mini-session and will start the race 10 places behind nearest challenger Sebastien Buemi and five places down on the only other driver who can win the championship, Lucas di Grassi. The top times were set in the opening two sessions prior to Piquet's group taking to the track. Sarrazin claimed pole in the opening session for Venturi with a 1m23.901s, which put him six hundredths up on Dragon Racing driver Jerome d'Ambrosio. Loic Duval put in a 1m24.107s lap good enough for third in the second session, during [...]
Buemi leads London Sunday practice
June 28th, 2015
Sebastien Buemi ended up fastest over the two sessions of free practice for Sunday's Formula E Championship finale in London. The e.dams driver, who moved to within five points of the championship lead with a race victory on Saturday, set the pace around the 1.81-mile track in Battersea Park with a 1m23.642s set in the second session. That put him more than two tenths clear of Dragon Racing's Loic Duval, who was quickest in the opening session on a 1m23.642s. Buemi had been second to Duval in the 45-minute opening session before the positions reversed in the following 30-minute period.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 12/040,911, filed Mar. 2, 2008, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 09/690,074, filed Oct. 16, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,360,688.
The present application describes a intelligent credit card system and a new way of reading such cards. One mode is specifically adapted for reading credit cards using portable phones.
Credit cards are often used in today's society for various purposes, including electronic transactions. Many credit cards are basically a flat piece of plastic with raised numbers. The raised numbers are basically for legacy purposes; i.e., an old-style credit card device that takes an imprint of the raised letters. The credit card information is also encoded on a magnetic strip on the back of the credit card. Newer machines will simply read the information from the credit card's magnetic strip.
Credit card companies assess risk from a credit card transaction in different ways and pass on charges accordingly. Risk is often increased when the credit card itself is not actually used. Credit card companies will often charge extra service fees when the card is not physically present at the time of the transaction.
It has been suggested to use additional identifying information along with the credit information. For example, some credit cards include a photograph of the owner of the authorized user of the credit card. It has also been suggested to use biometric information in conjunction with a transaction, e.g., stored in a smart chip.
The present application teaches new techniques and paradigms for use in credit card and/or a credit card reader. Different aspects of this system are described herein.
One aspect describes a system that reads the shorter edge of a credit card, to minimize the size of the cardreader that is used.
These and other aspects of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
A number of embodiments are described herein.
As described herein, the display can display certain parts of the information that is stored in the credit card.
The view in
The circuitry area 120 also includes a communication device 123. Communication device may be a serial communication device, which communicates data using a serial protocol such as RS-232, over the electrical connection formed by the contacts 126 and 128. These contacts are connected to both the batteries 122, 124 and to serial device 123. The communication device can communicate by a short range RF protocol, such as Bluetooth™. One or more of the communications techniques can be included within the credit card.
The credit card can be mated with the credit card reader 110. The credit card reader 110 includes special surfaces 130, 132 which press against the edges of the credit card, and hold the credit card into its proper location where the electrical contacts 130, 134 on the card reader mate against the corresponding electrode areas 126, 128 on the credit card. When held in that location, electrical contacts 134, 136 come into contact respectively with the electrodes 126, 128. When only two electrodes are used, another spacer element 135 is also provided which holds the credit card flat on the receiving base. Alternately, three or four electrodes can be used. When three are used, one positive contact could be used with each battery; and one common ground. Four electrodes may have the advantage of allowing very fast communications, e.g., using Firewire™/IEEE 1394 protocol, or Universal serial bus (USB) protocol, or a fast Ethernet protocol.
As described in further detail herein, when the credit card is mounted on the receiving base 110, communication with the processor and memory is carried via the contacts 134 respectively contacting the contacts 128, 124. In addition, DC power is provided to the contacts, thereby charging the respective batteries at the same time. In one embodiment, the communications device 123 begins its attempt to communicate as soon as it receives a source of external power. This can include sending polls or requests over the serial and/or RF (e.g., Bluetooth) channels.
In an alternative mode, the battery or batteries may be eliminated, and replaced by capacitors, or with no power storage unit at all. In this alternative mode, the circuitry is powered by the connection only. All memories must be non-volatile, and when powered up, immediately begin communicating the stored information.
The selector switch can also be held down for an extended time, e.g., 2 seconds, to enter a detail mode. For example, while in the transaction mode, the key can be held down to provide a list of stored transactions. This system can allow browsing the stored contents in the credit card using only two function keys. Alternatively, more function keys can be provided.
While the system above describes use with a credit card, this can also be used with a debit card. The credit limit can then be replaced with bank balance for example.
The embodiment of
One alternative contact system is shown in
A card reader for the
This embodiment describes the contacts being on the edge of the credit card. However, the contacts can alternatively be placed on the surface of the credit card, either front or back, but near the edge. This scenario is shown in
One advantage of this system is the ability to make the reader smaller. In this way, the reader can be located on smaller objects, e.g., on a cell phone. Also, the depth "D" of the card reader can be small, e.g., less than 1 inch, more preferably, less than � inch. The depth may be small enough that the surfaces of the reader will not hold the credit card in place by themselves; rather, the user must press the card or contact will be lost.
This has the extra advantage of ensuring that the user does not leave the card in the reader. Since the user must hold the card in place, the user cannot simply walk away and leave the credit card there. This provides a dual advantage: it allows a smaller reader and also forces the user to hold onto their credit card.
The credit card is pressed into place to begin communication. When communication is complete, the system issues an indication of the communication being complete. The reader or card, indicating that communication is complete, can produce a "beep". Different sounds can be produced for different actions. For example, one sound can indicate approval for the amount of the sale, e.g. X dollars has been granted. Another, different beep, can signal that the transaction is declined.
After the indication, the user is asked to remove the credit card.
In this embodiment, the display 423 can also automatically display the user's picture as stored in the memory of the credit card when the card is powered by power on the contacts. The display shows the user's picture, and can allow a clerk who is monitoring the credit card transactions to see whether an authorized is using the credit card, or not.
One issue is that the display needs to be made very thin, in order to allow the credit card to have acceptance. Such displays may be expensive or low quality. An alternative embodiment uses the communication device 123 to send the information to a remote terminal, e.g., the terminal where the clerk is carrying out the transaction. The clerk's terminal can display the information, e.g., available credit line, and/or the user's picture. This can facilitate authorizing the transaction.
In another embodiment, the credit card 400 is shown in
This system can also use smart card style contacts on the credit card, in addition to, and/or in place of, the previously-discussed contact schemes.
This embodiment forms the slot to have edges that are generally parallel with one edge of the reader. Other embodiments have edges which are not parallel with the edge of the reader.
An alternative contact arrangement is shown in
The credit card of
One use for said credit cards is in remote communication devices, which are portable devices in self contained housings that have the capability of communicating with a remote information server such as the internet. Remote communication devices may include portable telephones, remote control devices, portable computers, and/or personal digital assistants. In any of these devices, the card can be inserted to carry out a transaction. The remote control can be a TV remote, or an x-10 remote, for example, which communicates with the television, and has its information passed to the internet. The following Figures show this operating with a portable phone such as a cell phone. However, it should be understood that this system could alternatively communicate with any of the remote communications devices described herein.
The GPS device may provide additional security, since it may provide information about where the user physically was located when the user made the transaction.
During the time while the credit card is inserted, the internal batteries may be charged from the cell phone battery, or, if no batteries are provided, the cell phone power may be used to power the credit card's circuitry.
An alternative embodiment shown in
Alternative contact arrangements are also shown. Other machine readable forms of information can be placed on the credit card.
In one aspect, parts of the magnetic strip are read/write designated, so that they can be written with the kinds of information that have been described above.
Another embodiment shown in
The hologram can be read only, or can be a read/write hologram.
In any of the above-described embodiments, the credit card is capable of many different kinds of actions. As disclosed herein, the credit card can be mated to the mating connector in
Since the credit card uses storage therein which enables the credit card contents to be used as part of a transaction, a first operation at 1800 enables setting parameters. The parameters can include allowable number of transactions, spending limits and authorized places. The conditions can include time, specific allowed stores, and event. For example, the event can allow a specified setting, with or without conditions, until a code such as a personal identification number ("pin") is entered. The pin can be stored in the non-volatile memory and entered via the keys on the credit card.
Other conditions can include geographical restrictions or setting the restrictions to be on or off.
These events may allow the credit card to be used for actions by another. A parent, for example, can give the credit card to a child or an employer can give the credit card to a worker. The owner can said the kinds of transactions, limits or authorized stores where the surrogate can use the card. The owner can said the amount of time that the authorization is valid, information on authorized surrogates (e.g., their photo or biometric). The owner can also said an ending condition. For example, the user can tell the child that they can spend up to $200. They can said a spending limit either for the next 24 hours, or until the pin is entered to reset the card.
Speed codes may also be defined to allow quickly setting parameter sets that the user might want often. A speed code may be entered by selection using the buttons on the credit card. For example, speed code menu may be defined. The speed code S18 may allow a specified user to do a specified action for a specified time, For example allow Joe Blow to buy $500 at Home Depot and automatically expire after 24 hours unless a pin is entered.
1810 allows managing users. This allows an alternative authorized user. For example, it may allow someone's worker or child to use the card, again with the condition and limits defined in 1800. One alternative is that the limits may be preset to avoid duress, e.g. to avoid during a robbery the requirement that the user enter authorized users. The photo and/or biometric of the authorized user may be entered.
1830 defines a security mode. In the security mode, the credit card is only activated if certain features occur. One aspect of the security mode may include requiring the user to enter a personal identification number or biometric information as part of each transaction. Users, however, may resist this extra step. Another aspect, therefore, requires the users to enter this identifying information every predetermined interval of time in order to keep the credit card valid. For example, the user might be required to enter the pin every 24 hours. If 24 hours elapses without the pin being entered, the user is signaled e.g. via the display or via a beep, when they attempt to use the credit card. Thereafter, they can enter the pin into the card.
Additional keys, such as arrow keys, can be added to the credit card, to enable a pin to be entered. The user can scroll through different options to select different letters and/or numbers.
Alternately, the code can be via a biometric reader. The pin can be entered via the user terminal, when the credit card is swiped. A touch sensitive screen can be used, to allow a keyboard to be displayed and to select items from the keyboard. This system can also use a handwriting recognition device such as the graffiti™ option of the palm™ operating system.
According to the present system, the private key is stored in the credit card e.g. in the removable chip part of the credit card or in the smart card part. In one aspect, information from the removable smart card can be stored into the nonvolatile memory but is stored with a temporary life. For example, the information is stored in memory with an expiration of one week or one month or like. After that time, the circuitry automatically securely wipes the information from the memory.
Another aspect of the present system uses a credit card, as shown in
Other embodiments are within the disclosed invention. For example, the present application describes the ways that edges of credit cards including the short edges, and the corners between two edges, of credit cards could be read. Two specific examples of short edges and corner edges are disclosed as reading from electrical contacts. It should be understood, however, that other forms of credit card information, including the disclosed optical storage, barcodes, and any other form of credit card information storage, could also be stored similarly on the edge of the credit cards. The present invention contemplates reading these other kinds of information from the short edges of the credit card and/or the corner of the credit card, as disclosed. All such modifications are intended to be encompassed within the following claims.

1997 Land Rover Discovery SUV LSE 4dr SUV AWD
Fun to drive, very responsive on and off the road. Very well built, will go just about anywhere within reason. It's a blast. I am a hunter and it will outperform most stock 4 wheel drives vehicles off road. I have not had any problems with this vehicle on or off road. I would recomend it to anyone wanting a good all around on and off road vehicle. Love my Land Rover
Very fun to drive off road, does good in mud, steep grades, will go almost anywhere. Built like a tank.
Better gas mileage
great looking, never had any problems
(only power locks once) really capable
off roader, fun to drive, good
visibility. my wife owns a grand
cherokee and it isnnt as capable off
road as the land rover(great transfer
case, central diff locking and
looks offroad
If you just have to get a Land Rover
then this is probably the one to get,
but expect to have problems with parts,
and expect them to kill the wallet. I
have had the entire brake system redone
to the tune of $1300 and I still need a
sensor in one of the brakes which is a
tiddy $250. Most Land Rover Machanics
are out for the money and know you will
pay it. The Disco is though, and a very
rugged car, but keeping it running is
the killer.
I love the size and the fac that she
just makes you feel in charge and it
handles the off road stuff with ease.
Cheaper parts? Little more room in the
front seats. Larger Drink holders

Eventually, Mowgli and Shere Khan square off in an epic battle, from which only one will survive.
About the Author
Rudyard Kipling was born Joseph Rudyard Kipling in Bombay, India in 1865. At the age of five, he was sent to England to be educated. He later returned to India, where he worked as a journalist and writer before traveling the world. He subsequently made his home in England, India, the United States, and South Africa. Kipling wrote The Jungle Books while living with his wife and young children in the United States near Brattleboro, Vermont. By the time The Jungle Books were published in 1894 and 1895, Kipling had become one of the most famous writers in England. In 1907, he became the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize in literature. He died in England in 1936.

What up blogger? So today is a crazy day in the history of late night tv. So I can hear you right now, your reading this blog and going well Ted I look to you for guideince with these things so how should I feel about whats going on? He is my honset opinon about what happened. I think that Conan did get the shaft in this deal. Now look I am not going to lie I feel like I my-self let Conan down by not watching enough of his show at 11:30. Now did he did get the rates that NBC was hopeing for but you have to look at the fact that Jay Leno never left. He was doing his show at ten right before Conan comes on at 11:35. I don't think that Conan ever got a fair shot. Now with all that said trust me tonight the show will be awesome. So I hope you tune in I know Thee Ted Smith will be.

In Brief: Science Fiction
Tim Powers is a great exponent of writing into the gaps—gaps in history. Maybe Coleridge's visions in "Kubla Khan" were not drug-induced hallucinations but real-world events so strange that he thought them illusory: so "The Anubis Gates" (1985). Similarly, in the Villa Diodati, that crucible of the Romantic imagination where "Frankenstein" was written for an audience including Shelley and Byron, maybe something real occurred to light Mary Shelley's fire: so "The Stress of Her Regard" (1989).
There are gaps in the modern world, too, cracks for people to fall into or for ghosts to emerge from. In Mr. Powers's "Fault Lines" trilogy (1992-97), Las Vegas gamblers and L.A. street people grapple for power or struggle for survival in a world familiar on the surface but run beneath by supernatural forces and presences.
The Bible Repairman and Other Stories
By Tim Powers
Tachyon, 169 pages, $14.95
Mr. Powers's short but welcome new collection uses both of his preferred scenarios. The longest of the five stories, "A Journey of Only Two Paces," is a kind of coda to "The Stress of Her Regard." It centers on Byron's vainglorious sidekick, Edward Trelawny, whose wildly exaggerated autobiography was long accepted as true. Mr. Powers presents him trying, with the help of relics like Shelley's jawbone, to counter a resurrection of vampiric powers on Mount Parnassus.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the title character of "The Bible Repairman" burns out scriptural passages that his clients are afraid of—condemnations of divorce or greed or adultery, say—then reconsecrates their Bibles with the rules conveniently rewritten. He also makes deeper dives into the occult. He can ransom ghosts from their kidnappers with his own blood. But each transfusion leaves him weaker.
What else, you have to wonder, is going on under the radar of official spirituality? How many street people are actually ghosts, babbling out urgent messages that no one understands? Characters in "Soul in a Bottle" and "Parallel Lives" discover that some such messages are best ignored. "The Hour of Babel" offers a more technological slant on mysterious events. When time-travelers rip through the fabric of space-time, you have to expect collateral damage.
Most fantasy authors aim at persuading you of the reality of their invented worlds. Mr. Powers makes you doubt the reality of your own. Are there still sin-eaters and ghost-talkers quietly pursuing their trade in tenements and behind weed-infested yards, with regular tariffs and specializations? If there are, what do they know that you don't? That's what creates a true frisson.

Last day in Austria :(
... The lake was lovely today. The further out you go the clearer the water it was lovely and warm towards the surface and cool but not cold underneath. It was very easy to swim in no current no waves no salt I reckon given enough time I could swim the whole lake but it would take while I don't think you could rush anything here! The park was fun. ...
Wolfgangsee day
... is I got it wrong again! We are not packing up tonight we have one more day here, hurrah! The best thing about this site is it is very easy to relax. No urgency, people pottering around, kids riding their bikes about or jumping off the pontoon into the lake. The day drifts on, its hot in the sun, warm in the shade and cool in the lake but not cold. The water is clear and shallow enough to play in but deeper at the end of the pontoon to jump ...

My friend Pastor Dave has led a congregation in our neighborhood for two thirds of his life. It's a sweet fellowship and even though our denominational affiliation is different, he has kindly invited me to fill the pulpit in his absence on several occasions.
Recently, over lunch, I asked Dave how he managed to stay in one church over four decades. Were there not times when church members rose up and demanded new leadership? Did he not get the urge to try something new?
"Give me your top three ways to stay at a church for 42 years," I told him. He did not hesitate….

World Bulletin / News Desk
Italy's government unexpectedly cut income tax rates for the country's lowest earners while promising to stick to the budget goals it has agreed with the European Union.
After an eight-hour cabinet meeting that ended early on Wednesday, the government said it would also halve a planned increase in sales tax rates to a single percentage point.
Italy holds parliamentary elections in about six months.
"Today we can see that budget discipline pays and makes sense" because "we can allow ourselves some moderate relief," Prime Minister Mario Monti told reporters after the meeting.
The severe austerity imposed by Monti since he took over an unelected government in November has exacerbated a year-long recession in the euro zone's third-biggest economy and been a focus of criticism by all political factions.
He increased taxes and cut pensions to put the public accounts on track and head off a Greek-style debt disaster.
Monti has repeatedly denied he would stand in the election but did say he would serve his country again if asked following the vote.
Italy will reduce by a percentage point the two lowest income tax rates.
The rate will drop to 22 percent from 23 percent for those earning less than 15,000 euros per year, and to 26 percent from 27 percent for salaries between 15,001 and 28,000 euros. The top three rates will remain unchanged.
Italy will balance its budget in structural terms next year, as it has pledged its EU partners it would do, according to a statement from the cabinet meeting.
A second round of cuts to health care spending and other state expenditure, a new tax on financial transactions and "fiscal interventions" for banks and insurance companies will help pay for the measures, according to a statement.
The savings should amount to 3.5 billion per year when at full regime, the government said. Savings from a previous round of spending cuts will total 4.4 billion euros this year, and 10.3 billion euros next year.
Also decided during the cabinet meeting was a reform to the constitution to centralise spending controls over the country's 20 regional governments, which have been the focus of a recent series of high-profile corruption scandals.
That will involve reforms designed to regain coordination of spending on energy, tax collection, and the national transportation network.
Also to address corruption, the position of anti-corruption commissioner, who will be given investigative powers, will be created with the passage of the budget.

MUSKOGEE -- The Muscogee Creek Indian Freedmen Band (MCIFB) will host its next meeting at 1 p.m. Oct. 20 at the Martin Luther King Center (MLKC), 627 N 3rd Street, Muskogee.
Muscogee Creek Indian Freedmen Band meeting scheduled
Come out and learn and about the history and culture of the Muscogee Creek lndian Freedmen. It is a fact that the people of African and Indian descent began to live and intertwine in the Muscogee Creek Nation, an indigenous Indian nation, prior to the 19th century.
Did you know that the Dawes Commission divided the Muscogee Creek Nation by creating two separate rolls of citizens: 1) the "Creek Nation Creek Roll or Creek Nation Indian Roll," (also known as the by blood roll), which was purportedly composed of Muscogee Creek Nation citizens with Creek Indian blood; and 2) the "Creek Nation Freedmen Roll," which was purportedly composed of Muscogee Creek Nation citizens who were persons identified or defined as Freedmen and not listing their Creek Indian blood.
In fact, "in cases of mixed Freedmen and Indian parents, which was common among the Creek, the applicant was always enrolled as a Freedmen and not given credit for having any Indian blood;"

Gaza City — With one week to go before the United Nations General Assembly convenes, there is a flurry of diplomatic activity in Jerusalem and Ramallah, much of it aimed at the Palestinian Authority's plan to seek enhanced membership at the UN.
A delegation from the United States, led by White House advisers Dennis Ross and David Hale, arrived in Jerusalem on Tuesday to meet with Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Hale is scheduled to meet on Wednesday with Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas.
In Ramallah, meanwhile, Abbas met with former British prime minister Tony Blair, the envoy from the so-called "Quartet," composed of the United Nations, the United States, the European Union and Russia.
The US meetings, according to the State Department, were aimed at "finding a formula" to restart long-stalled negotiations between Israel and the PA.
Talks broke down last September over Israel's refusal to halt construction in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. Abbas has said he will only return to the table if Israel freezes new construction, and agrees to use 1967 borders as a basis for negotiation.
A spokesperson for the US embassy in Tel Aviv would not comment about Ross and Hale's trip, and the embassy has not released any statement on the meeting with Netanyahu.
The meeting comes at a slightly awkward time for US-Israel relations: Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg reported on Tuesday that Robert Gates, the recently-departed US secretary of defence, described Netanyahu as an "ungrateful" ally.
'There will not be a retreat'
Blair said this week that he was "optimistic" about bringing both sides back to negotiations. Abbas' office has not released any details of their meeting in Ramallah.
Saeb Erekat, the PA's chief negotiator, said in Amman on Tuesday that the UN bid will go forward regardless of Israel's actions.
"The Palestinian decision is to head to the UN Security Council," Erekat said. "And there will not be a retreat even if Israel proposed any initiatives."
Erekat also complained about American threats, saying that the US has pushed the PA to drop its bid without offering any concessions in return. US officials and members of Congress have repeatedly threatened to slash aid to the PA if it goes to the United Nations.
Meanwhile, the diplomatic frenzy does not register much here in Gaza, where few people have expressed much interest in the bid. "It's just politics," said Abu Omar, gesturing around his small shop, which was temporarily darkened by one of Gaza's regular power cuts. "I need electricity."
Hamas has said little about the planned vote, which is purely a Fatah initiative. A Hamas official told Al Jazeera that the movement has not decided whether or not to call for demonstrations in Gaza.
"There's still plenty of time before we decide what we will do," Ahmed Yousef, the Hamas deputy foreign minister, said in an interview. "Somebody from Fatah approached me recently about what we might do... we could decide in the near future."
Abbas plans to submit the PA's bid for statehood around September 20. But Palestine cannot be admitted as a state without the Security Council's approval, and the Obama administration has already said it would veto such a move.
The US veto leaves Palestinian officials with the option to pursue "non-member observer status," a step below full recognition which requires only a two-thirds vote in the General Assembly. Only one other state, the Vatican, currently holds such a status at the UN.

A recent legal opinion suggests that the Palestinian statehood initiative fails to address several critical questions.

Liquidmetal inventor says Apple is years away from using alloyThe inventor of Liquidmetal guesses that it would take hundreds of millions of dollars and over three years for Apple to ready the technology necessary to mass-produce large products made from the material.
Dr. Atakan Peker, who discovered and developed the formulation that later became Liquidmetal, said in an interview with Business Insider that Apple is most likely years away from using the alloy in large-scale projects, noting that there is "no suitable manufacturing infrastructure yet to take full advantage of this alloy technology."
The former Vice President of Technology at Liquidmetal estimates that an investment of $300 million to $500 million and three to five years would be needed before the metal finds its way into the hands of consumers.
"This is a technology that has yet to be matured and perfected both in manufacturing process and application development," Peker said. "I should note that this is a completely new and different metal technology."
It is unlikely that MacBook casings will be made from the material in the near future, however there is a possibility that small operational parts such as hinges and brackets can be produced. Nokia and Samsung phones have employed Liquidmetal previously, though not as a main design or structural feature.
Liquidmetal inventor Dr. Atakan Peker.
Apple currently has exclusive license to the technology which has been rumored to play a part in the upcoming next-generation iPhone, however the company has so far only implemented the metal once to make a SIM card ejection tool for the iPhone and iPad.
The structure of Liquidmetal lends itself nicely to the design of device components like casings and frames as it is both strong and eye-pleasing.
"Liquidmetal is super strong, scratch and corrosion resistant, resilient and can be precision cast into complex shapes," Peker said."Plastics are low cost to manufacture into complex shapes but not strong enough. Metals are strong but difficult to produce into complex shapes. And glass feels and looks beautiful but is highly fragile. Liquidmetal can combine these advantages and remedy some of these shortcomings."
Peker speculates that the metal will be used to replace existing components, followed by a "breakthrough product" which can only be made by harnessing the alloy's special qualities.
"Such product will likely bring an innovative user interface and industrial design together, and will also be very difficult to copy or duplicate with other material technologies," Peker said.

The Czech Republic forward impressed while on loan at Watford last season, scoring 22 goals.
West Brom boss Steve Clarke said: "I'm delighted to welcome Matej to the club.
"He had a really good year with Watford and we believe he's got the qualities to score goals at a higher level. Hopefully, he'll show that this year with us.
"We had Matej watched throughout last season. As well as some excellent scouting reports, we had some really good feedback from within Watford about Matej as both a player and person.
"I've said previously we're a bit light in the forward areas and Matej will increase competition for places. He's another good quality striker to add to the other three senior forwards we have here."
