It is September 1980 and Iraqi forces are invading Iran - escalating what had been a conflict of words and mutual political interference into open war. Saddam Hussein stands before the Iraqi National Assembly and declares that the 1975 Algiers Agreement with Iran had been violated and is now void. Were the Iraqi actions part of a rational political strategy that balanced ends, ways, means, and risks? Or was the Iraqi invasion a shortsighted action that failed to support strategic political objectives? Our conclusion: Iraq made a rational, last resort, choice in going to war, but Saddam miscalculated the nature of his conflict with Iran. His mistaken belief that limited means could achieve unlimited aims led to political stalemate, dismal results on the battlefield, and near destruction of Iraq's economy. Failure to achieve his grand political objectives did not, however, prevent Saddam from achieving the goal he valued most. At the end, he remained in power with a greatly reduced internal and external threat. Yet Saddam did not clearly link his national security and military strategies, and his Pyrrhic victory highlighted his failure to understand the more complex components of the national security decision-making process.

I think the Apple move to Intel processors is a good example. Apple is changing its fundaments but the building above, the operating systems, remains the same and all your applications won't stop to work. The average user won't even notice that the processor has changed. IMO Cocoon should go the same way. The recent thread about a complete rewrite of Cocoon *really* scares me and a lot of people I've talked to as it will break compatibility for sure. If I take Marc's proposal as some kind of common understanding within the community on where we want to go, I still fail to see why the revolution is necessary. I also consider it as dangerous as it might lead to fractions within the community and we start again to split our limited time that we can dedicate to the devleopment of Cocoon into two projects for years (again). -- Reinhard ___________________________________________________________ Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http://messenger.yahoo.de

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
In this choppy market, we're going to look at both longs and shorts to watch.
On the long side, Organovo Holdings, Inc. (ONVO) has gone from 3.96 to 8.05 in a week. Volume continues to increase, momentum looks good, and the channel is intact.
, Inc. (RVLT), one of our favorites, broke out two days ago, backed off, and stalled right there at the support point. Wednesday was an inside day, up 14 cents, or 3%, on 858,600. The near-term target, which is 5.85, may not be high enough, but eventually it may move up to 7-7 1/4, and then 8 3/4-9.
Inc. (TTHI) is not looking particularly special, although it popped in May, pulled back and formed a big coil, or wedge, and on Wednesday after the close, it announced a fast track FDA approval for their Alzheimer's drug.
On the short side, Lamar Advertising Co. (LAMR) had a beautiful rising pattern that was broken in May, and then it formed a rising pullback toward lateral price resistance as well as its declining tops line and moving averages. With one leg up and one down, legs three, four, and five down the channel may be forthcoming, and we could see this stock substantially lower. Look for a move down to around 39-40, and then something in the 36 range.
Inc. (SIRO), after breaking down in May, is in a rising wedge. It formed a bear flag, and then broke lateral support. The run-up got right up to that previous lateral support level and the declining topsline parallel-channel top. If it rolls over, particularly below 66 3/4, that could drop it significantly. Look for a 5th leg down towards 60.
SurModics, Inc. (SRDX) broke hard in May, came down very sharply, and then rallied in a rising wedge. It still looks like it wants to go lower. Looking for 17 1/2-18 as the target.

I'm usually okay about being single mom--okay enough to do the things I need to do. But when I get tired, I get angry because I know my children's father is off living the bachelor life while I'm stuck doing ALL the work.
I get so angry just thinking about the injustice of it all. My mom claims that I'm the winner because I get to be with the kids. I love my kids to death....but working 8 hours a day and coming home to cook and clean is hardly a prize.
How do I deal with this anger?

Mind Set
"I live north of Pittsburg, my husband and I were retired recently," said graceful looking lady sitting next to the Juggernaut in the flight to St. Louis.
"I see."
"I am visiting my daughter in Omaha; her husband is a senior executive at a large food processing company."
"That's good."
"My other daughter lives in upper New York, she is an attorney."
"One of my two sons graduated from Wharton and works in Manhattan."
"Wow," "The other son?"
"He is an Asst. DA in Pittsburg."
"Very successful family."
"We are blessed."
"True, in deed."
"We gave two years and he failed, no second chance for him, he has to go."
"I see."
"The unemployment is still high and at unacceptable level," "the housing fore-closure crisis is still continuing," "the two wars are still being fought," "the National debt is still hovering well over 15 trillion," "the budget deficit is still at unacceptable level," "40% of students fail to graduate from High Schools and 60% fail to graduate from colleges." "American industry is still investing in foreign countries," "China and India are still stealing jobs from us," "Obamacare is nothing but socialized medicine we don't want," "Middle East is still in turmoil," "experts say the unfunded liabilities could reach 75 trillion in not too far distant future and the dollar will sink to the bottom." "Obama promised to solve all these and he failed, we have to vote him out."
"The plane landed in St. Louis."
"Juggernaut got up from a momentary nap and noticed the sophisticated woman sitting next got up and getting ready to leave."
"So what is the immediate pressing problem the country is facing now?"
"Illegal immigration and gay marriage rights," she said, leaving in a hurry to catch a connecting flight and didn't even say good bye before leaving."
"I am not sure you know," murmured Juggernaut, his voice was drowned in the noise.

Just as if a fox had got into the hen-house in the dead of night, the 1,000 Guineas betting market was all of a-flutter early yesterday. For more than two hours, starting just before five o'clock, the price of the hot favourite Rainbow View began, mysteriously, to lengthen on the online exchange Betfair, eventually trading at 9-1. Slightly headlessly, some of the conventional firms temporarily suspended trading after they picked up the drift, sometimes an indication that all may not be well.
But the chicks were settled firmly back on their perches after firstly, Rainbow View sparkled in her final serious workout ahead of Sunday's Rowley Mile showpiece and secondly, the name of Fantasia, likewise trained by John Gosden and owned by George Strawbridge and who would have been a more than competent supersub, did not appear among the race's penultimate confirmations.
Gosden assured punters that Rainbow View is in the rudest of health, describing the betting flap as "completely bizarre" after witnessing his charge impress on the Al Bahathri gallop near her Newmarket stable. "She worked this morning and worked particularly well," he said yesterday. "I am very happy with her indeed."
By midday Rainbow View was queen of the bookies' lists again. Her brief dethronement may have been the result of a computer programming glitch in a single Betfair account and although the amounts traded – totalling just over £8,000 – are relatively small beer in professional punting terms, some backers may have secured a bargain. "Who knows why the individual in question laid a fit and healthy genuine 6-4 chance out to 9-1," said the firm's Tony Calvin, "but one explanation could be that it was a malfunctioning automated trading system."
The presence of a hot-shot – Rainbow View shortened to a general 5-4 after the withdrawal of her stablemate – has not proved a deterrent to potential rivals, with 21 fillies still possible runners in the 196th edition of their Guineas. Fantasia apart, the notable absentee was Sariska, who will have her Oaks prep in the Musidora Stakes at York.
Twenty-four colts are still in the mix for a much more open-looking 201st 2,000 Guineas on Saturday, including yesterday's sole supplementary entry Ouqba, put in the race at a cost of £30,000.
Some rain fell in Newmarket yesterday, but not much and the ground remains good to firm, which is little comfort for supporters of Delegator, the 3-1 market leader with big-race sponsors Stan James, after warnings from trainer Brian Meehan that the colt would not run on ground judged too fast. There is also a watching brief over the perceived Ballydoyle number one Rip Van Winkle, challenging for favouritism; he suffered a stone bruise yesterday, though is still thought likely to be ready for his big day.
But before the first Group 1 contests of the domestic Flat programme comes a week of glittering top-level action at the jumpers' last hurrah, the Punchestown festival. Today in Co Kildare the focus is on one star performer of the present and two with gilded promise for the future.
Paul Nicholls and Clive Smith have decided to treat Irish fans to a first sighting of dual Queen Mother Champion Chase hero Master Minded, who signs off until next winter with what should be a lap of honour over his favourite two-mile trip. In the Grade 1 novices hurdle, Hurricane Fly – many people's idea of next year's senior champion – tests his credentials against Cheltenham winner Go Native, and in the novices chase his fellow Willie Mullins inmate Cooldine, already backed for next year's Gold Cup, has a showdown with hat-trick seeking Joncol.Reuse content

Lazio are reportedly preparing a swoop for West Ham United right-back Julien Faubert.
The Hammers are under pressure to sell, as they were relegated from the Premier League and his contract only runs until June 2012.
According to the Daily Mirror, Flaubert could be heading for the Stadio Olimpico.
Lazio could snap up the Frenchman for just under £4m.
It's not the first time he has been linked with a Serie A move, as Milan were showing an interest some months ago.

As the face of law enforcement in America for almost fifty years, J. Edgar Hoover was feared and admired, reviled and revered. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life. Under the direction of Clint Eastwood, Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the title role of "J. Edgar," a drama that explores the public and private life of one of the most powerful, controversial and enigmatic figures of the 20th century.
To get showtimes, enter your zip code to find theaters showing this movie in your area.
Few of the powerful men who helped shape America in the 20th century are as polarizing as J. Edgar Hoover, considering the peaks and valleys of his nearly half-century-long reign as the director of the FBI and his closely guarded private life. However, while there is much to debate about whether the heroism of Hoover's early career outweighs the knee-jerk paranoia that clouded the end of his run at the Bureau, and about what really turned on this lifelong bachelor, one aspect of Hoover's life is inarguable: this was a man who possessed a rare gift for establishing and maintaining order. Everything that fell under his control was meticulously kept in its place, from the fingerprints on file in the FBI's database to the cleanly shaved faces of his loyal G-Men.
It's an unfortunate irony, then, that J. Edgar, the biopic focused on this ruthlessly organized administrative genius, is such a sloppy, awkwardly assembled mess. Its lack of tidiness hardly suits its central character, and is also shockingly uncharacteristic of director Clint Eastwood. The filmmaker's recent creative renaissance, which began in 2003 with the moody Boston tragedy Mystic River, may not have been one defined by absolute perfection—the World War II epic Flags of Our Fathers, for example, is no better than an admirable mixed bag—but it comes to a grinding halt with J. Edgar, Eastwood's least satisfying and least coherent effort since 1999's True Crime. There's no faulting the attention paid to surface period details—every tailored suit and vintage car registers as authentic—but on the most fundamental level, Eastwood and writer Dustin Lance Black (an Academy Award winner for Milk, as off his game as Eastwood here) haven't figured out what kind of movie they want to shape around Hoover's life. For two-thirds of its running time, J. Edgar devotes itself to an overly dry recitation of facts about its title character, which is about as viscerally thrilling as reading Hoover's Wikipedia page, and then makes a late-inning bid for romantic melodrama totally at odds with the bloodless history-lesson approach favored by the preceding 90 minutes.
The non-chronological narrative structure Black adopts to tell Hoover's story only adds to the overall disjointedness. Star Leonardo DiCaprio is first seen caked in old-age makeup, as Hoover, conscious he's nearing the end of his tenure at the Bureau, dictates his memoirs to an obliging junior agent (Ed Westwick). As Hoover describes how he began his career, the movie jumps back in time to depict that origin, giving the false impression that the dictation scenes with old Hoover will act as necessary structural connective tissue. Instead, Black eventually abandons the narrative device altogether, leaving the movie rudderless in its leaps backwards and forwards through time. As a result, the shuffling of scenes depicting the young Hoover achieving great success alongside his right-hand man, Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer), and those portraying the aging Hoover abusing his power by wire-tapping progressive luminaries (such as Martin Luther King Jr.) that he mistrusts feels frustratingly arbitrary. There's no real rhyme or reason to why one scene follows another.
DiCaprio does his best to anchor the proceedings with a precise, authoritative lead performance. Although his voice is softer than Hoover's, he mimics the crimefighter's trademark cadence with organic ease, and, more importantly, he manifests Hoover's unbending fastidiousness in a number of ingenious details, like in the way that Hoover reflexively adjusts a dining-room chair while in mid-conversation. But Black's limited view of Hoover as a tyrannical egotist—the script is close to a hatchet job—denies DiCaprio the chance to play a fully three-dimensional version of the FBI pioneer.

Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, the brutal leader of the Zetas drug cartel, was captured before dawn Monday in the first major blow against an organized-crime leader by a Mexican administration struggling to drive down persistently high levels of violence, officials announced.
Trevino Morales was captured by Mexican Marines who intercepted a pickup with $2 million in cash on a dirt road outside the border city of Nuevo Laredo, which has long served as the Zetas' base of operations. The truck was halted by a Marine helicopter, and Trevino Morales was taken into custody along with a bodyguard and an accountant and eight guns, government spokesman Eduardo Sanchez said.
Trevino Morales, known as "Z-40," is described as the leader of a corps of special-forces defectors who splintered off into their own cartel in 2010.
Along the way, the Zetas authored some of the worst atrocities of Mexico's drug war, leaving hundreds beheaded on roadsides or hanging from bridges.
Rouhani describes a bleak economy
Iran's president-elect, Hasan Rouhani, painted a bleak picture of the country's economy Monday, blaming the departing administration of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for high inflation and unemployment, saying it "has left much work to be done."
Speaking in Parliament, Rouhani said the inflation rate, officially listed as 32 percent, is 42 percent, local reports said. Iran's economy contracted during the past two years, he said, the first time since the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.
But Ahmadinejad picked up unexpected support from the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"The respected president and his colleagues faced enormous tasks and operated rapidly in comparison with all the other governments," Khamenei said on Iran's state radio. "We must consider their huge workload, tireless efforts."
Putin: U.S. has trapped Snowden
President Vladimir Putin told students Monday that the United States had effectively trapped Edward J. Snowden, the fugitive former intelligence contractor, on Russian territory by frightening countries that otherwise might have accepted him. When Putin insisted that Russia did not want Snowden to cause damage to the United States, the students burst out laughing.
Putin spoke on an island in the Gulf of Finland, where he was reviewing projects of the Russian Geographical Society. Russian officials said that they had not yet received an application from Snowden, and Putin did not say if he would grant such a request. "We have a certain relationship with the U.S., and we don't want you with your political activities damaging our relationship," Putin said, describing his view toward Snowden. "He said no," Putin continued. "You are laughing," he said. "But I am serious."

Picture: Danai Gurira and Haaz Sleiman 18th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards - Arrivals New York City, USA - 02.12.08
It's rare for a TV show, these days, to come up with something that hasn't been done for television before, but of course there are a few exceptions of themes that seem better suited to other genres of representation, either comics, films or to remain firmly in literature. The nature of a zombie apocalypse renders it normally only suitable for films- the finite nature of an apocalypse- it's very meaning based in the end of the world, surely points towards a rapid conclusion. As such, there have really only been two television series ever, brave enough to base themselves on this unlikely eventuality. The UK's Deadset and the US's 'The Walking Dead'. The Walking Dead is now in its third series and still going incredibly strong, as are the particular brand of the undead that it features.
Series three opens some months after series 2 closes, marked particularly Lori's unmistakable change in belly size given that she is now heavily pregnant. As well as a baby, series three welcomes Michonne, played by Danai Gurira, another survivor who has a sword as her weapon of choice. According to ABC news Gurira found the role a challenge, because "[She's] always been a big scaredy-cat." Gurira said, "As a kid, I couldn't watch horror films. I always found them terrifying and terrorizing."
Evidently, it wasn't the zombies and gore that brought Gurira to the role. It was in fact the humanity that it explores that drew her in, she says "It's about people trying to navigate dire circumstances. It started to feel like a war zone. When everything shuts down, who do you become? I love how the show explores that."
Reviews of the new series previews have been almost universally positive, being praised for still being able to maintain fresh storylines and managing to still have surprises in store for the audience. It premieres on October 14th on AMC in the US with an undisclosed release date for the UK.

Slavic girls names that work with trendy boys names?
So I love European names, particularly those of German, Russian, Romanian or Bulgarian origin on little girls. But I have an affinity for trendy boys names.
Some examples:
Ronan nn Ro (Top choice, I am pretty unmoving on this one, maybe when the time comes I'll use it as a middle name.)
Jonas (I know its too sing-song-y with Ronan)
So this proves to be a problem because I love long, romantic, frilly girls names:
Angelina (I know its not strictly European; but its quite popular where my family is from.)
Nikolina (This would work to honour a loved one who passed away. It's growing on me.)
Rayna (Could work to honour a family member. I really like it. But the alliteration would be annoying.)
This isn't all of them, but just some that come to mind.
So any suggestions on how to make Slavic/European girls names work with trendy boy's names would be greatly appreciate! Thanks Berries!

Skip to comments.Hyping Hydrogen: The Energy Scam
Posted on 05/07/2003 11:54:50 AM PDT by Jack of all Trades
Not long ago I wrote a commentary, "The Great Hydrogen Myth," in which I opined that throwing another billion dollars at more research for the purpose of replacing oil, coal, or natural gas was a huge waste. Recently, that commentary was posted on an Internet site for those who work in industries that provide and use various forms of energy. It's a favorite among the many engineers and scientists whose lives are devoted to energy issues.
Here are some of the responses my commentary received. The names of the innocent have been protected because their jobs depend upon it.
"I have often thought that this 'hydrogen economy' seems intuitively flawed; using energy to make hydrogen to then be used as an energy source. Intuitively, it feels like the Escher painting with the water flowing uphill."
Therein lies central issue that undermines the hype about hydrogen as an endless, virtually free, source of energy. First of all, it is not energy. It is what the engineers and scientists call "a carrier." You have to break the hydrogen molecule free from others to use it and that requires energy. Thus, you have to use a lot of energy in order to use hydrogen to make energy. In real life there is no free lunch.
A chemical engineer with 35 years in the chemical and oil industry who knows a lot about catalytic reforming units that make and use hydrogen in the reformation processes, had this to say: "Not only does H2 (hydrogen) require a lot of energy to produce, collect, and store, it presents rather nasty safety problems."
Need it be said he thinks that Ethanol (made from corn!) is another bad idea the environmentalists have foisted on us? Why? "Ethanol costs far more to produce than the fuel value it provides and the Environmental Protection Agency in its wisdom forced industry to oxygenate fuels only to discover that covalent bonds of all oxygenates are very soluble and stable in ground waters when released." In other words, this environmental "solution" has led to the poisoning of ground water supplies throughout the nation. It also forces up the cost of gasoline.
He wasn't through. "While I'm at it - Greens have our environmental experts at EPA on another even wilder goose chase to capture mercury from coal fired utility plants across the USA. If you add up all the Hg (mercury) released from coal combustion and compare it to global sources, the current analytical and statistical techniques and technologies probably will not be able to detect any reduction in the global Hq pool in the environment."
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Greens live to conjure up endless scare campaigns, always shouting that everyone, especially children, are being "poisoned" by things that pose no real threat. Or they find ways to force government mandates that either end up poisoning us, i.e., ethanol, are represent no real threat, i.e., mercury. The end result is higher costs for energy use of any kind.
Part of the hydrogen hype is its use in fuel cells. A retired General Electric engineer wrote to say, "I previously analyzed and designed fuel cells and it is apparent to me that they will always be too expensive for all but very special uses. They are twenty times the cost of a piston engine and are very likely to remain at least ten times more in spite of all the research done."
Like all realists, engineers and scientists believe we are, in fact, running a risk in our dependence on petroleum. Even with a trillion and maybe even two trillion barrels of oil available, at the present rate of use, the experts estimate we will go through it in about forty years. Others, however, believe there are vast amounts of undiscovered oil reserves.
Part of the problem of energy costs, energy dependency, and the cost of oil can be found in the fact that the US has experienced a drop in its refining capability over the past twenty years. We went from being able to refine 18.5 million barrels to 16.5 million barrels. There has been an even sharper drop in the number of refineries, from 315 to 155! Thus, the US is highly vulnerable if even a small number of refineries stopped producing, even temporarily. A major factor for the dramatic increase in oil prices is this lack of refining capacity.
This may explain why the oil industry and auto manufacturers are willing to spend billions to find a way to make hydrogen the transportation energy of the future. Hybrid vehicles that utilize a fuel cell could get more than 75 miles per gallon of gasoline and that's a good thing. Environmentalists support this and, if the technology can be developed to a point of being affordable, why not? It remains, however, a very big "if".
The real answer, of course, is to build more refineries and, in part, to tap the reserves of oil known to exist in the Alaskan National Wilderness Reserve. Environmentalists have fought both these options.
Here's the bottom line. Without energy, this nation shuts down, and so do all the others. The good news is that technologies are being developed whereby, for transportation and other uses, new engines will revolutionize the use of current energy sources. They will be far more efficient and they will be affordable.
Beware of the hype about hydrogen. Many engineers and scientists know it's baloney, and you should too.
Beware the attacks on hydrogen. Especially the anti-hydrogen articles that rountinely avoid mentioning natural gas, coal, and off-hour hydroelectric surplus as sources.
I envision a future with lots of windmills and bio diesel.
It takes some mighty cheap nuclear energy to make hydrogen affordable, heh, heh heh...
"greens" is to general. I'm pretty green myself and it's not a no-no for me. I have a major, flaming tree hugger friend and he and his wife drive a VW diesel that gets about 65 mpg. I wonder how much it will cost to produce lots of bio diesel. In the mean time, if everyone drove those the existing oil supply would sure last a long time.
All seriousness aside ... it looks like a Christo creation.
No, but I shoot on Tuesday with a couple of GE employees who wear t-shirts with GE mini-guns on them.
The Caption: "We bring good things to life"
I found the article interesting until I hit the above paragraph. What the heck is that? The requise nod to the handwring-"Ashes, all is ashes!" crowd?
Hydrogen requires a source of energy. If you are talking about replacing any significant number of fossil-fueled vehicles with hydrogen vehicles, you are going to need an energy source that is not a gimmick and is much cheaper than current methods of generating electricity.
In other words, hydrogen cars will make sense when you have a fusion reactor in your garage.
Until you realize that you are just going to sound stupid to people who understand basic math.
Bush should have spent that money teaching science so that this issue will go away.
How much of the coal or natural gas would we have to burn to get the energy to separate the hydrogen?
The Caption: "We bring good things to life"
LOL! Shouldn't it read: "We bring good things to the After Life"?
I would hope the engine is still in good shape after 100k miles. I had an olds with a v8 diesel for a few months. If it had been a better build engine it sure would have been something. The car was so over powered and had a lock in transmission that it refused to drive below 60. There was no way to push the throttle soft enough to keep it under about 68 on the highway.
The reality is that it's a systems engineering problem: what engine/fuel/infrastructure combination is the optimal solution, considering physical and political (=economical) constraints. The cost of just about any physical device is almost entirely driven by production volume barring the necessity for some wildly difficult material cost (which IS a consideration for some fuel cell devices, but not necessarily the critical one).
As far as access to oil goes, let's see now...$55 billion and 300 American lives for Gulf War I....eventually $200 billion for GWII....did I forget 3000 people dead on 9/11? How much DOES it cost for us to be involved politically and economically in the Muslim world? And what would it be worth to get off oil as the primary fuel?
And one last. Why is it that people who have no problem believing that me and my fellow Aerospace Engineers can build a Space Based Strategic Defense System to knock down incoming nuclear re-entry vehicles (which we most certainly CAN do), but believe that we are incapable of coming up with a transportation system that gets us off of oil?
The reality is it's a physics problem. You get less energy out than you put in.
Does your car burn raw crude? No? Then refining capacity is an issue. All the oil in the world won't help if it can't be turned into something useful. The EPA is forcing the export of our refining capacity overseas, often in parts of the world that don't particularly like us and export terrorists back to thank us for the favor.
The Bussard Collectors are what gives the warp nacelles the red glow in the front, these Collectors gather hydrogen to be used for fuel. If the Federation can do it, so can the USA!!!
Wow. Great argument: the energy balance doesn't work out because...because...we might have to use electricity from nukes to crack water? So? So big deal. Beat's the crap out of what we're doing now.
Space Based Strategic Defense System? I believe it can be done, but bragging about it beforehand is a little out of place.
Neither would I find calling myself an aerospace engineer a point of pride given the lack of any meaningful space transportation infrastructure.
And if you think Hydrogen is the ticket off oil, no wonder our space industry is non-existant. Where do you think the hydrogen will come from?
Maybe the Easter bunny can fart it out.
Oil. That is why it is called "energy production". You get more out than you put in.
Wow. Great argument: the energy balance doesn't work out because...because...we might have to use electricity from nukes to crack water? So? So big deal. Beat's the crap out of what we're doing now.
Fine, when does the reactor construction start? I assume congress is repealing all the laws making nuclear power economically unfeasible as we speak? The great irony: These idiots pining away for hydrogen cars who are violently anti-nuke.
Uhhh....millions of years of solar energy. And your point is???
Wow. Great argument: the energy balance doesn't work out because...because...we might have to use electricity from nukes to crack water? So? So big deal. Beat's the crap out of what we're doing now.
Well, you're the first green to push for more nuclear energy, good for you. Nuclear is the only thing that makes sense to make hydrogen fuel.
Lot's, but that doesn't change the fact that Hydrogen is not a primary fuel.
Space Based Strategic Defense System? I believe it can be done, but bragging about it beforehand is a little out of place
If you don't think that significant portions of it are already in place, or at least being tested (successfully, I might add), then you ain't paying attention.
Neither would I find calling myself an aerospace engineer a point of pride given the lack of any meaningful space transportation infrastructure
Don't blame me for NASA and Congress' problems. My satellites work just fine, as do the Launch Vehicles that loft them! By the way...what part of American Aerospace do you have something to do with, and can you point to another country with a significantly better one?
Where do I think the Hydrogen will come from? Lotsa places. Just gotta pick the right one.
It's easier to extract hydrogen from oil than from gas and coal. That's why these articles tend not to mention them. Typically the anti-hydrogen articles pick on loopy wind-energy strawmen. Almost uniformly they call people foolish, quote "engineers", and talk about "energy inputs" avoiding the "energy inputs" converting oil into gasoline, and transporting the heavy fuel to markets.
We could build an artificial black hole in space and grab the hydrogen it attracts before it reaches the event horizon.
That's true with nearly every energy source. Internal combustion energy efficiency is what? Something less than 50%. A conventional coal-fired boiler is something less than 45%. Even the latest gas turbine co-generation plants a pushing it to get much above 50%.
The measure is what you put in versus the value of what you get out, and H2 as a transport fuel could have great "value" in the future. Gasoline has been a "great value" for transport fuel, but it would be way too expensive for use in generating electricity for the grid. It's the application of the fuel that determines it's value.
Wind and solar energy are not only too expensive for generating electricity for the grid, but they are far to unreliable. Their low availability rates means that they really don't displace any of the conventional means of generating electricity. They are not much more than a nuisance for grid operations. But they could be very valuable used as an energy source for generating H2. Don't attach them to the grid --- when the wind blows or the sun shines, send their power directly to the cracking plant.
Granted, there are a number of other technical challenges in creating an H2 transport system, but this "it takes more energy than what it contains" mantra is not a reason to back off.
And this reduces our dependence on oil how????
I agree. A little cognitive dissonance there. A lot of them live in L.A., which gets a significant amount of power from the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating plant West of Phoenix.
Hasn't gone critical yet. :^)
So, we burn some fuel, inefficiently, to create H2 and then burn the H2 to, inefficiently, move an automobile or to generate electricity? Sounds rather inefficient.
Replacement it is not. I've noticed more and more usage of natural gas in large transportation vehicles in urban areas. The efficiency of burning NG straight as opposed to burning H extracted from it, I haven't seen anything on that.
Places like Italy are turning to NG - 20% of new vehicles there run on it.
A convenience and economy of hydrogen is that one "fuel" will be universal - rather than the several we have now. Well, maybe I underestimate American salesmanship and they'll invent a "regular" and "premium."
And don't let the cat near it.
When a reactor is said to be "critical," that means that the reactivity has exceeded the "critical" level needed to ensure that the reaction is self-sustaining.
That's where all the free hydrogen is. In your back yard you'd get Oxygen and Nitrogen, not much free hydrogen in the atmosphere.
Hydrogen requires a source of energy.
So does gasoline - oil. Natrual gas and coal burned straight do not of course.
If you are talking about replacing any significant number of fossil-fueled vehicles with hydrogen vehicles, you are going to need an energy source that is not a gimmick and is much cheaper than current methods of generating electricity.
When mention is made of NG, coal, even oil, the hydrogen is cracked right from them.
In other words, hydrogen cars will make sense when you have a fusion reactor in your garage.
Not if cracked from the three above. We need not be restrictive - H can be derived from electrolysis supported from Nuclear power and Hydro-electric "waste" energy (Which is substantial since electricity can't be effectively stored...unless it's "converted" to hydrogen!)
Until you realize that you are just going to sound stupid to people who understand basic math.
How do you think you sound to the natural gas and other industries pushing this?
Bush should have spent that money teaching science so that this issue will go away.
But he didn't - what does that tell you? BTW, check out energy sites re: explosion in NG exploration. Also, those quietly discussed Alaskan NG pipeline bills in Congress for starters.

Serpae Tetra Problem
Hello, i have recently bought a 10 gal, gravel, plants, heater, filter everything. I also got 3 serpae tetras to start making a school but apperemtly, they are not getting along very well... They are constantly nipping each other but mainly one fish. Ive noticed the "picked fish" has more damages than the others now.
How do i stop the aggresion with serpae tetras? Do they need a bigger pack? I heard they nip to each other but i didnt know it can be excessive... Does that mean they are hungry?
Temp is fine.
Help please.
hello there
your problem i think is the group number,
it's too small.there will be a pecking order,and that one fish
is at the bottom,and it will only get worse,i'm
sorry to say.if you can,you need to enlarge the group.
however i'm not sure on your stocking amount for that
size tank,someone else will hopefully be along to help.
hang in there.
i agree with willow. id throw a few more in there to help even things out a bit. id rather have my feesh a little cramped than murdering one another!
Yeh i thought so too. But when i went to the petstore to get some tetras, (2 days ago) the lady said not to buy a bunch at a time and said to wait 3 days to buy more... I listen to her and now look what happens =/
ill be sure to go tommorow ill get 5 more so ill have a school of 8
(cant go today car ain't here XD)
PS: you think i can get a couple of albino cories in there?

Go on, go on, go on
The Sun sets on
And the Night leaves on
Letting New day to come on
Giving away darkness to go on
New flowers bloom on
Chirping birds chirp on
Blue rivers flow on
Round planets revolve on
Kangroos bounce upon
Fierce lions roar on
Numerous fishes swim on
Colorful butterflies fly on
Sleeping children wake on
Loving fathers work on
Uncontrolled traffic rush on
And the life goes on............

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-3130) Shuffling takes too long to get the last map output.
|Sun, 30 Mar 2008 08:37:24 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3130?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12583421#action_12583421 ] Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-3130: ------------------------------------- The events are stored in the jobtracker and fetched by the tasktrackers. This frequency of polling for map completion events is same as the heartbeat-interval (which depends on the cluster size). For e.g., if cluster size is of 500 nodes it is going to be 10 seconds. Now the reason for the order of minutes delay in getting map completion events could be that the map is not complete yet (it's still in COMMIT_PENDING or RUNNING), or, the JobTracker is busy and is discarding RPCs. To ascertain the latter, you should take a look at the reducer's host tasktracker logs. > Shuffling takes too long to get the last map output. > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-3130 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3130 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Runping Qi > Attachments: shuffling.log > > > I noticed that towards the end of shufflling, the map output fetcher of the reducer backs off too aggressively. > I attach a fraction of one reduce log of my job. > Noticed that the last map output was not fetched in 2 minutes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Exeter always knew this would be the year of living dangerously. For any promoted team this is the case, hence the fluttering in the dovecotes as Luke Fielden led a final raid by Newcastle which might have snatched the win.
Yet here the Chiefs are, two from three in the Premiership, working their socks off to show how worthy they are of a place in the elite. By their own admission they lacked yesterday the intensity of the first two games, the home win over Gloucester and the hard-fought defeat at Leicester. "It wasn't the slickest of performances but we battled through it," said Ali Hepher, their backs coach.
That is the characteristic of successful sides. Exeter are learning how to transfer their skills to the highest level, typified by Gareth Steenson, the fly-half who kicked 17 points and missed only once. "There's not many kickers in world rugby around 90 per cent, as Gareth is," Hepher said. "The question was always [if] could he bring that consistency to the Premiership and he has."
Newcastle were less than pleased that they gave Steenson so many chances. In the second half they lost the penalty count 8-1, after losing James Hudson, their captain, to a damaged hamstring. With him went much of their line-out ability.
"We need to understand what's going wrong," said Alan Tait, the head coach. He will have plenty of opportunity, since this was the first of five fixtures against Exeter this season. Newcastle scored two tries to Exeter's one and will be distraught that the difference on the scoreboard was the try they virtually presented to Exeter, six minutes after taking the lead with a nicely-worked score of their own. Though the Falcons scrum was under pressure, there was no excuse for Ally Hogg and Mickey Young to leave the ball lying behind the set piece, 10 metres from their own line. That gave Haydn Thomas the chance to send Tom Johnson to the line. It cancelled out the score Young had done so much to create, through support play and then a delayed pass behind a five-metre scrum which allowed Charlie Amesbury to race through, Jimmy Gopperth drawing the defence.
But with the score 10-10 at the break, there was all for Newcastle to play for. Instead Exeter dominated possession through the efficiency of their line-out, Thomas directed the traffic and James Scaysbrook was outstanding in the loose. Steenson put them ahead with two penalties and they had the strength to shrug off Newcastle's second try. Luke Eves went through in midfield and gave Rob Vickerman a run to the line. Gopperth's conversion put the Falcons ahead.
But Exeter set their big men, including Phil Dollman (pictured, left) running and the penalty count mounted. Steenson kicked two more goals, the second after the lock Tom Hayes turned up on the left wing, kicked ahead and caught Alex Tait on the floor. Much more of this and Devonian expectation will soar.
"We've been working hard with the guys on the mental side, they have to get used to playing under pressure," Hepher said. "But we're on track and at the minute, the guys are so enthusiastic, they all want to play every game."
Exeter Chiefs: L Arscott; N Sestaret, P Dollman, B Rennie (M Jess, 54), M Foster; G Steenson, H Thomas; B Sturgess, N Clark (S Alcott, 64), T Hui (C Budgen, 60), T Hayes (capt), J Hanks, T Johnson (C Slade, 49), J Phillips (Johnson, 60), J Scaysbrook.
Newcastle Falcons: A Tait; G Bobo, R Vickerman (J Manning, 64), L Eves, C Amesbury (L Fielden, 72); J Gopperth, M Young; J Golding (G Shiells, 62), R Vickers, T Ryan (K Brookes, 48), J Hudson (capt; G Townson, 36), T Swinson, B Wilson, A Hogg, R Pennycook (W Welch, 68).

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
my fiance got tboned about 6 months ago and he was put in the ER. He failed to yield properly, therefore it was his fault. He was on a moped and her car was damaged as well. he is being sued for not having a license What do you do if you dont have the money they are sueing for?
If your fiance has insurance, immediately tender the suit to the insurance carrier (i.e.,notify the carrier that he has been sued.) The insurance company will appoint a lawyer to defend him and will pay any judgment or settlement up to the policy limits. If your finace does not have insurance, his options are not as attractive. He can pay for a defense lawyer (fee usually charged by the hour), he can defend himself in pro per, or allow the claimant to take a default judgment againt him. I do not recommend the last option and you should try to avoid the second option as well. If you find yourself in the predicament without insurance, you might disuss your situation with the opposing attorney - let him know you have no insurance and you have no assets, and see if you can reach a settlement for a sum you can live with.
This response is for information purpose only and does not constitute a legal advice. This response does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Without seeing the wreck report or having any real information about how this collision happened, sometimes in NC you can argue Last Clear Chance. If the other driver had the last clear chance to avoid the collision, he or she may be partially at fault. We are a contributory negligence state that can bar recovery. This argument is very complicated, and I hesitated to bring it up. However, it could apply to this collision. The reason that I did write this was because bodily injury situations are more much severe than mere property damage. I normally don't see property damage lawsuits like this when the at fault driver has real bodily injuries. It just makes the possibility of a counterclaim more likely.
