When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When not in Rome, do as the Romans do.
As I said here, since Sharia allows for absolutely no compromise, that means that American businesses are going to have to choose between making Muslim employees a privileged class, and alienating their non-Muslim employees, or allowing no Sharia accommodation at all. The Muslims will go to court and probably will win there — and non-Muslim workers will either leave the plant or stay on, their resentment festering at the special treatment given to the Muslim workers.
"Talks break down between Muslims and Swift," by Chris Casey for the Greeley Tribune, September 10 (thanks to John):
Talks between JBS Swift & Co. officials and Muslim workers seeking prayer breaks during Ramadan broke down Tuesday afternoon and turned into calls of breach of contract.
The roughly 250 workers, who've been suspended since walking off the job Friday night, say they will not return to work and may take legal action. They also acknowledge they may face mass terminations.
A mid-afternoon meeting between the Muslim representatives and about 80 of the suspended workers grew heated in a downtown Greeley park when the representatives relayed information to the crowd.
When workers learned the company would not allow break times for prayer, many shouted and crowded around a gazebo from which the representatives spoke. Within 30 minutes, workers split into smaller groups and milled around the park.
Complaints of on-the-job discrimination and harassment as well as non-responsive union representation marked the second straight day in which hundreds of Muslims, mostly Somalis who have been hired at Swift in the past year, gathered in the Greeley park.
Graen Isse, an African Swift worker, and several other Muslim workers met with company officials and a union representative for a few hours Tuesday, looking over a two-page list of grievances the Muslims presented. He said company officials verbally agreed to some items, such as requests for more African/Somali supervisors and improved translation for non-English speaking employees.
But Isse said the requested prayer breaks — a major issue for Muslims at all times but especially during Ramadan — was rejected by management.
"The thing they didn't agree with was the prayer (breaks)," Isse said. "And that was the whole problem from the start."
Upon hearing that news, a group of disgruntled Muslim workers clustered around Isse and said, "No prayer, no work."
When a union leader said he would assist those suspended by taking their names and Social Security numbers, his offer was ignored.
Kaise Egal, another Muslim representative, said Swift management conveyed that workers would be fired if they took unauthorized breaks. He said officials noted that the suspended workers, if they reported to work Tuesday afternoon, would be disciplined for their actions last week, and if they had another work-related disciplinary action they'd be fired.
Most of the workers expected the company would fire them if they returned to work today.
An official with JBS Swift & Co. did not immediately return calls seeking comment Tuesday afternoon. On Monday, a company official said no workers had been terminated over the Friday incident.
On the matter of breaks, Egal said, "We ask a maximum of 10 minutes" for prayer per shift.
The Muslims said they thought the problem was resolved last Thursday after company officials said the workers could break at 7:30 p.m., earlier than their usual union-contract mandated breaks at about 9:30 p.m.
But they said the company, without advance notice, on Friday didn't grant the 7:30 p.m. breaks and instead mobilized to keep workers on production lines. Workers nonetheless began walking out for breaks and, according to the two-page document, "management and administrative employees started harassing and collecting badges from Muslim workers that took breaks as agreed. … Management blocked restrooms and break areas and that started massive disturbances and conflicts at the plant."
Fernando Rodriquez, who heads the United Food Commercial Workers Local 7 at Swift, the union that represents production workers, on Tuesday explained details of the collective bargaining contract with the gathered Muslims.
He said when an employee works at least eight hours and 12 minutes in a shift, the company must, in accordance with the union contract, give them three breaks — two 15-minute spans plus a 30-minute break. "You should be covered for your prayer time," Rodriquez said.
Under that scenario, the Muslim workers' second break on the late shift would be about 7:30 p.m. when most of them end their 12-hour Ramadan daily fasts.
However, workers said, they haven't been getting three breaks.
Amina Warsame, who has worked at Swift for a year, said she regularly works nine hours and gets two breaks. Others said they work as much as 10 to 12 hours and only have two breaks — a 30-minute break and a 15-minute break.
"We asked the company to give us whatever the union says, and we're happy," Egal said.
Rodriquez said company officials had a different view on the subject of the eight-hour, 12-minute shifts.
"The company claims they were not working the majority of (workers who walked off jobs Friday) more than eight hours, 12 minutes" per shift, he said. Therefore, those workers were entitled only to two breaks per shift.
Isse said Tuesdays' meeting with Swift officials wasn't entirely unproductive. Officials said they would work to get more Somalis in management positions as well as provide interpreters for workers seeking answers to questions, he said.
Omar Clarke, a 10-month Swift employee, said he feels the company is in breach of contract "because they never gave us the third break."
Swift released a statement Monday afternoon that said a group of workers left without authorization Friday, and the matter was discussed with union representatives. "JBS Swift desires to accommodate the religious practices of all employees, provided it can do so reasonably, safely and without undue burden," the statement said.
Meanwhile, the Muslims' two-page document outlined a list of grievances that extend beyond the current Ramadan issue, including "supervisors and managers that are constantly discriminating against Muslims."
It also detailed events on Friday evening that included harassing a few Somali women who had gone into a locker room to pray, and a shutdown of drinking fountains.
Khadra Abdullahi, 22, said a supervisor stepped on her back as she was laying on the floor to pray on Friday evening. The supervisor, she said, told her work wasn't the place for exercising and then pushed her against a wall….
This story is clearly not going to go away anytime soon.

Brian P. Lamb "Booknotes" Collection [Annotations from]

 Description An account of the resource
"Booknotes" host Brian Lamb interviewed 801 authors during the over fifteen–year run of CSPAN's "Booknotes" television program. Lamb made a point of reading each book in its entirety before each interview so that he could discuss it in detail with the author. He often spent up to twenty hours a week reading a book and preparing for the subsequent interview. While this thoroughness was normal operating procedure for Brian Lamb, this was not always the case with interviewers of authors on other programs. Lamb took pride in being able to discuss a book's most minute details with its author, as he believed that his audience would be interested themselves in such details.

Lamb also had a habit of annotating a book while he read it. He made notes in the margins and endpapers. He would underline single words or whole passages in the main text. These "book notes" were used by Lamb to remind him of things he wanted to ask the author. Notes might pertain to significant events in the book or the education or employment of a book's author or subject. Ideas for questions, quotations, and philosophical, political, historical and scientific concepts were noted along with the names of important people or significant dates.

George Mason University Libraries acquired the entire collection of 801 nonfiction books used on the "Booknotes" television series in September of 2011. The books are now housed in the Libraries' Special Collections & Archives department.

Researchers may access scanned versions of the annotations from over 500 of the books in the Brian P. Lamb "Booknotes" Collection from this site.

I wrote the continent name of the upper photograph as Satori so far. However, the name doesn't seem to be popular. It is words to mean Japanese "realization". However, there is not the person using the name other than few Japanese.
However, many people use "Mãebaleia". The character of Portuguese with diacritics are used:ã in the word of the continent name. Nobody may know the notation of Satori except Japanese. I change the notation of the continent in my blog from Satori to Mãebaleia.
The notation which a Japanese uses in this way has some words that are not recognized in the world. Because they demand only communication with the Japanese fellow, most Japanese are not inconvenient. However, I do not have the intention to communicate with only a Japanese. I communicate with the world.
Therefore, I match the name of the continent with SL standards.

Jeff Kaplan
POSTED: Friday, October 30, 2009
They're known as runaways, but throwaways seems a more apt description. They are youths living on the streets of Waikiki, surviving however they can and showing up in increasing numbers at a drop-in center that feeds them, clothes them and gently tries to steer them to a better life.
";These kids are ... are 'under' everything. They're undereducated, they're underinsured, they're underemployed and, frankly, they're underloved,"; said Jeff Kaplan, 50, a program director for Youth Outreach, a joint project of the Waikiki Health Center and Hale Kipa that provides health and social services programs for homeless and runaway youths.
The number of young people seeking help has surged this year and is on track to reach up to 700 individuals by the end of the year, up from the usual 400 to 500.
";Around the first of the year, we started seeing more people coming in for hot meals. We were preparing for 40, and we needed enough food for 60,"; said Kaplan. ";We want to make sure that these kids are adequately fed and get enough nutrition, but we're also preventing theft. We don't want them stealing to eat.";
Kaplan, who has a master's degree in public health from the University of Hawaii, has been with the Waikiki Health Center and YO for 15 years. He works closely with his Hale Kipa counterpart, Alika Campbell, who also holds the title of Youth Outreach program director.
Youth Outreach, founded in 1989, serves runaway and homeless youths up to age 22. Neither violence nor substance abuse are tolerated on the grounds of the Waikiki safe haven.
» Where: 415 Keoniana St.
» When: Drop-in center is open Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
» What: Free hot meals and takeout snacks, shower, laundry and locker facilities; medical care, including testing for and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. Psychological counseling and help getting into GED classes, job training and transitional housing is available.
» How to help: YO depends heavily on donations for the meals it serves and the clothes and hygiene products it disperses. To donate, call 942-5858 or check the wish list on the Web site at http://hsblinks.com/16e
QUESTION: A national story in The New York Times this week said the number of runaway teens has surged in the past two years, apparently because of the poor economy. Is that true in Hawaii as well?
ANSWER: We saw an increase early in the year (when the weather was especially cold and rainy) and we continue to see an increase. Is it an absolute result of the economy? I'm not sure. At YO we provide for homeless runaways, and most of these kids are running away from abusive situations at home. Sometimes they are simply out of options, they've been through foster care, incarceration, alternative homes. Very often it's not a runaway situation, it's a throwaway situation, where they have been thrown out of the house and told never to return. ... It's possible that as the economic crisis causes more stress in the home, that leads to more dysfunction, more abuse, and the kid ends up on the street. Whatever the reasons, we are on track for a 20 percent increase this year.
Q: So how many kids is that?
A: In the 21 years that YO has been in service, our numbers had been pretty consistent from year to year. We generally saw about 400 to 500 individuals, and that equates to 5,000 visits over the course of a year. But already this year we have surpassed that, and if this pace keeps up, we are on track to have 6,000 to 7,000 visits this year, or about 700 individuals.
Q: What kinds of problems are these kids fleeing?
A: The classic cases: mostly physical, sexual and emotional abuse. You have to understand that things are really bad at home, if the street seems like a better alternative. The stereotype of a teenager who takes off over curfew, that's not who is living on the street. Those types go home as soon as they miss the creature comforts, which is very quickly.
Q: Are most runaways in Hawaii girls?
A: No, the majority are male. It's about 60 percent males, and about 40 percent females. Males also tend to stay longer on the streets. There are always more people willing to come to the aid of a young female, but oftentimes that ";aid"; is exploitive. The pimps are always out there.
Q: Survival sex, which escalates into formal prostitution, is a reality of life on the streets. The Dallas police department, recognizing that repeat runaways were the most likely to end up controlled by pimps, started an intervention program that seems to be working. Does HPD have anything like that?
A: No, not that I know of. Running away is a status offense. Generally the chronic runaways are put in detention homes, they are incarcerated.
Q: Don't they just run away from the detention home?
A: It's a real revolving door. The detention home is medium to high security, so they are not running away from that per se, but the incarceration is generally short term. So then they return to the foster family or biological family and the behavior will continue and they will run away again. We're the safety net that is very close to the street, for kids who have either given up on the system or the system has given up on them.
Q: What happens to the kids you help after they turn 22?
A: Our goal is to help them transition into something better long before that, and a great many of them do. Our primary function is to provide the most basic services, to help these kids survive — a hot meal, a shower, medical care, a place to feel safe. But beyond those essential services, our ultimate goal is to transition them off the street. We're intensively working with this gap group, ages 18 to 22, because they don't seem to fit in many programs. They have too few job skills, too little education and they don't qualify for youth programs anymore.
Q: What about people who say you should send the kids home?
A: The individuals we're working with, returning home is simply not an option. It's more dangerous at home than it is on the street. We've seen that scenario over and over again. What we're trying to do is keep these kids alive and healthy. We try to keep them connected to society, with some level of adult supervision and the basic needs of life, and establish trusting relationships so that they will listen to the options that are available — essentially provide some support in a world where they haven't had any.
Q: What's your annual budget?
A: For Youth Outreach, it's around $350,000 a year (funded largely by federal, state and private foundation grants).
Q: Is that being cut?
A: Funding for health care education was cut by 50 percent by the (state) Department of Health. There also are some other cuts, and the notification is coming very late. On the upside, we get a lot of community support, especially in regards to in-kind contributions. We serve thousands of hot meals annually and we've never had a food budget. All the food is donated. The Hawaii Foodbank has been helping us quite a bit.
Q: Where are most of the young people from?
A: The vast majority, about 80 percent, are from Oahu, from all over the island. About 10 percent are from the neighbor islands, and the rest are from all over: the mainland, Japan, Samoa, Micronesia. ... Most kids on the street tend to gravitate to Waikiki. ... So many times when we talk about these negative street survival tactics, they say, 'I'm just doing what I gotta do.'

Sawyer MINI
Super lightweight, but needs to be backwashed often so the syringe adds weight. It also dispenses slowly. However, it is very versatile and easy to use. I used this on a weekender trip to a GA state park. I decided to pick up a 1L reservoir instead of using the small included pouch. I'd imagine the pouch would be very difficult to get water from streams. I was able to drink straight from the spout, so I didn't have to wait for water when I was already thirsty.

(1267) Airport homeless
If one thing could be said to symbolize the transition from the twentieth century to the present one it might be the tragic death of glamour in air travel. Added now to the boring sorrows of security screening, economy seating, airline performance and global carbon footprints must surely be this phenomenon: homeless people living in airports.

(1189) Price on homelessness
Urban street people in difficulty require major help and commitment of resources. Which leads us quickly to important moral and logistical propositions most of us are content to have nothing to do with. Recent work suggests over $50,000 per year is required.

(1120) Girl Scout Troop 6000
Among the things we've come across since starting this blog we feel certain this one will stay with us for a bit. We mean the establishment of a Girl Scout troop in Queens, New York specifically for homeless girls.
Living by the Girl Scout law. Even without a place to call home
(1059) Woods & basements
Backlash. We think that's what you call it when an idea turns and inflicts a set of consequences. In this case, it's the sprawl so enthusiastically embraced in so many parts of southern Ontario in the 1980s and 1990s. For lots of folks, SUVs and monster homes are still working well. For others, not so much. It seems a confluence of resources, inequality and a stunning lack of imagination are problematic indeed when it comes to community design. To wit, recent pieces at cbc.ca/news. Woods and basements, people.
Beyond Toronto's borders, homeless means living in the woods. Camps of men without any place to go are situated on Newmarket's fringes
(1006) A little help has big impact on homelessness [Study]
A US study finds tactical, one-time cash assistance in the amount of $1000 has a really good influence on the lives of those about to tip into homelessness. Even the crudest cost/benefit analysis of keeping one person out of homelessness, let alone many, ought to reveal the good common sense of this kind of social spending. An ounce of prevention…
A bit of cash can keep a person off the streets for 2 years or more

I've been in this steady relationship for around 2 months but an ex from a long time ago has recently started talking to me ( flirting ) is it wrong .
Most Helpful Girl
Different relationships have different boundaries concerning what's acceptable for their relationship. You should talk to your boyfriend about it and see what he thinks. If you're not comfortable talking to your boyfriend about it, then you probably shouldn't be doing it (or allowing your ex to do it---it's your job to draw and enforce boundaries with other men).00|00|0

After reading and surfing many websites this week, I can conclude that there are many ways one can improve one's website design so that readers can stay longer in the website and recommend others to browse the website. In my opinion, these 5 points are essential in making attractive website.
- Use a professional logo and place it in a very strategic location on the website. Logo symbolises the brand of the website and therefore it is very crucial that the logo catches the attention of the readers. Good logo will make the website more attractive to the readers. .
- Use intuitive navigation. The navigation in the website must be easy enough to follow so that reader will be happy to stay in the website. If the navigation is complicated, most readers will leave the website instead of trying to figure it out.
- Use professional photos. As we know, pictures worth thousands words. Good and attractive pictures will help to retain the readers to stay in the website longer.
- Use colour appropriately. The present of correct colour will make the website more appealing to the readers. It is a fact that certain colours are attactive than others. Blue more appealing than grey.
- Lastly, test the website design. Very important stage is to actually test different types of logos or test different shades of colours to check which is the best for the website development. Only by testing do we actually know which one will be the best design.

The year 2015 may go down in history as the most unpredictable; a year of intense activism of sub-national groups; a year of international tension, reminiscent of the Cold War days; a year of energy crisis – slumping oil prices; -indeed, 2015 has been a very horrible year. And the year is ending with no hope for a secure future. We will concentrate on (in)stability, engendered first and foremost by global geo-political and geo-strategic miscalculations. We have had occasions to highlight the Clash of Civilizations that has engulfed most parts of the Middle East and elsewhere, owing to a desire, especially by the West to spread its values globally. Support for insurgencies, labeled in 'colour revolution' garbs (Orange Revolution; Arab Spring etc.) since the beginning of the second decade of the 21st Century, has resulted in unexpected consequences, the vacuum thus created being filled by sub-national groups (Ukraine, Yemen, Iraq, Libya, and Syria readily come to mind).
How to deal with the menace is now a global problem with no thinkable solution in sight. The United Nations' recent resolution on the question of Syria is too little (porous), too late. Large swaths of territory have fallen into the hands of Jihadists in Iraq and Syria. The combined efforts of
Syria, Iraq and Turkey seemed useless until the Russian came in. The US has for months been flying sorties against positions held by ISIS but no significant results have been noticed. And this was because the US and its Western allies were more interested in regime change (Assad must go) than tackling the real enemy – the ISIS. Arms and ammunition meant for anti-Assad elements (the Free Syrian Army) found their way into the hands of the ISIS. The continued festering of ISIS and Jihadism generally and the global reach it has today is because the world (the West and their allies, in particular) offered corridors, especially through Turkey, for anti-Assad elements the world over to enter Syria. It allowed the Sunni elements, unable to find satisfaction with Al Qaeda to look for a fulfillment – the re-creation of the Caliphate.
The Expectant Caliphate
So effective and ruthless has the ISIS been (in propaganda, in recruitment, in organizational management, and in combat effectiveness) that, the world has been made impotent.
The slump in oil prices is partly because ISIS controls the most lucrative wells in Iraq and Syria. They know how to market the oil, to the extent that Turkish officials are alleged to be complicit in the ISIL oil markets. They are alleged to produce about fifty thousand barrels a day and make up to about three billion dollars a year. Close sixty percent of oil fields in Syria and about 15% of those in Iraq are in the hands of ISIS. The offshoot of this insane situation is the immigration crisis facing Europe. The UN reports that up to a million people have migrated from the war-torn areas to Europe.
It also has its own implications. It has created a refugee crisis and caused tension among European nations, threatening the very fabric of the European Union. It has economic implications for Europe – jobs, social security etc. Most importantly, it has serious security implications. We have warned in one of our earlier pieces that many Jihadists may be among the immigrants; even if not, that the immigrants have been uprooted from their homelands may cause some constellation – they are a potential hot magma, from which may erupt throughout Europe a Jihadist volcano. And Europe may have to live with this for a long time to come. Against this background, it makes sense to tackle religious extremism with a common sense of purpose – the 'One Fist' approach, suggested by Russia. No-one is immune from this menace and to look at the solution through geo-political and/or geo-strategic lenses is wrong. The whole world needs a hands-on approach through the UN.
The war-on-terror, started by Clinton, wrongly warped by the Bush administration, and re-crafted in steeped contours by the Obama administration cannot be won by any single individual country or group of countries. It is the geo-political approach that has led to Russo-Turkish stalemate (the West/NATO staunchly supporting Turkey). Incidentally, Turkey is the loser for downing a plane which is doing the work for the world – fighting ISIS. Should this happen, when the enemy is common to all of us? Incidentally, the rise of ISIS is reverberating everywhere. Boko Haram is on the rise and in 2015 has given Nigeria and the whole of West Africa no respite. They also want to create an AfriCaliphate. Al Shabaab is terrorizing the eastern part of Africa.
In Europe Jihadism has risen to heights unknown in history. The rise of sub-national groups is now more fashion than necessity. The breakup of nations is a global reality. And this is precisely because sub-national groups understand the new geopolitics of our time. The Ukrainian situation is a case in point. Many more such instances in already troubled places are expected to continue into 2016 and beyond.
African countries are a hodge-podge of states, containing Muslims Christians and other faiths. It is the more reason that Africa and Africans should not play into the geo-political game. We have lived in harmony for a long time, in spite of the ills of imperialism and colonization. We need to foster unity among our peoples and ensure that succeeding generations are insulated from the scourge of war.

A delicious soup that's good for everyone, including dieters! The whole pan full, if made in the same way as described below, should be under 200 calories. It's also suitable for vegetarians and vegans and might be suitable for people who need a gluten-free diet too, as long as you choose appropriate stock.
1 celeriac, peeled and diced (yielding around 600g)
1 onion, peeled and chopped (yielding around 120g)
20g vegetable boullion stock powder (make sure you pick a version that is safe for you – the one in the orange-brown tub is my usual choice)
1 sprig each of fresh thyme, rosemary and parsley, taken off the woody stalks (approximately 1 teaspoon of leaves each)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
salt & pepper to taste
1. Put all ingredients into a saucepan together with plenty of salt and pepper, and add enough water to cover.
2. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the celeriac is soft.
3. Blend until smooth, and enjoy!
(If you're not calorie-counting, this soup can be enjoyed with any combination of cheese, cream, bread or croutons. It would be especially tasty with a hot slice of cheese on toast! Note that these suggestions are NOT included in the calorie count above.)

I'm sure you've heard that everything you put in your body is reflected on your skin. Well, don't under estimate the truth behind it! After 10 days of cleansing, my skin was glowing and so was my energy level. I spent the last weekend in California at the Natural Products Expo West {posts and pics to come} and I'm not sure I would have been able to stay positive the entire time had I not spent the 10 days prior focusing on a healthy lifestyle.
Life is all about balance. Too much of a good thing can be unhealthy but so can too much of a bad thing. If you have been thinking about making a positive change to your lifestyle, there's no better time than now 🙂

So anyway today has a been a stay at home day… no church as two in our tribe has strep throat. Hubby has had it 4 times now since October and little miss at least 3rd positive in as many months. They both are now on a super strong (read icky medicine) to try to eradicate it once and for all. Also, we will be calling the ENT this coming week, perhaps it is time to at least start thinking about getting little miss' tonsils out. Lately, she snores very loudly and sometimes it sounds as if her airway is temporarily blocked.
So what else did the day entail, Pokémon DS, Pokémon Video(s), Pokémon trading cards and thanks to a shopping trip to Barnes and Nobel (while hubby and little miss was getting tested for strep) Little man and I bought this:
Ultimate Handbook (Pokémon)
This book has kept both kiddos busy for hours, looking up and reading about their favorite pokemons. I had hoped it would help me understand the pokemon world better, but alas I think you have to be under the age of 30 to completly understand the Pokémon craze.

Modern Faces
Double A Side
Pravda Scrolls
Cynical Brother
You'll like it if:
– You are a nostalgic rocker from the 90s
– Do we really need a Guitarpsichord and a Violimba to make good music?
Today I am addressing you, people from my generation. I'm addressing the lovers of the Brit-rock from the 90s and its brother Brit-pop to introduce you to a quite interesting Scottish indie rock band, Modern Faces. This is one of those groups that decide to go for an unpretentious approach, focusing on old school sound which uses a familiar formula instead of going for the experimental path. However, this formula works quite well in the first nibble the band is offering us. The double A side 'Pravda Scrolls' / 'Cynical Brother' are both catchy songs that probably Kasabian or Wolfmother could propose as radio hits, thanks to the right electric tunes given by the guitar mixes with some low-profile electronic basis and upbeat drums.
'Pravda Scrolls' itself represents this perfect equilibrium between electronic and electric, in order to emphasize the guitar lines with the synth and make them even more distorted, without losing their catchiness. The Verve meet the better end of Oasis with some clean vocals, that almost become quite nostalgic in the more contemplative 'Cynical Brother'. Starsailor's choruses and Nickelback's soft rock melodies avoid any significant shift, creating an ordinary track, whose main merit/flaw is not to dare something more elaborate. Being surrounded by bands showing off their experimentalism in the quest of the brand-new-sound, I am one of those who really enjoys to have, every once in a while, a bunch of catchy tracks that can easily lead me to 'Memory Lane'. The double A side is out today and you can find it on their website, so why not have a go then?

And there goes the Moon, or "Liar! Liar! Pants on Fire!" December 11, 2008Posted by shubber in bailout, Congress, economy, finance, hot air, Manned Space, NASA, smack talk, thanksgiving, Uncategorized, Wasting Money.
Tags: Alt.space, Cheap Access To Space (CATS), economic crisis, Manned Space Exploration, Moon, NASA, NewSpace, obama, spaceports
So, if the alt.space gossip lines are right, there's trouble a-brewing in the halls of NASA these days, with the Administrator (Mr. Griffin) apparently not terribly interested in working with the Obama transition point person (Lori Garver).
Kudos to Al Fansome for pointing this out (initially on the SpacePolitics.com website, from which this was shamelessly pilfered).
Tensions were on public display last week at the NASA library, as overheard by guests at a book party.
According to people who were present, Logsdon, a space historian, told a group of about 50 people he had just learned that President John F. Kennedy's transition team had completely ignored NASA.
Griffin responded, in a loud voice, "I wish the Obama team would come and talk to me."
Alan Ladwig, transition team member who was at the party with Garver, shouted out: "Well, we're here now, Mike."
Soon after, Garver and Griffin engaged in what witnesses said was an animated conversation. Some overheard parts of it.
"Mike, I don't understand what the problem is. We are just trying to look under the hood," Garver said.
"If you are looking under the hood, then you are calling me a liar," Griffin replied. "Because it means you don't trust what I say is under the hood.
Just remember, folks – you heard it here first, though: the Moon program is a bunch of hot air and will be cancelled with the many budget realities that are now facing the incoming administration, including the never-ending bailouts.
Hey, maybe Big Aerospace should ask for a $100 billion bailout (make up a reason) and use that to launch someone to the Moon?
- 1. Monte Davis - December 11, 2008
"…heard it here first?"
I think it was March 2004 when I first used the words "dead man walking" about VSE — specifically about the unlikelihood that the sand-chart numbers would survive economic/political developments through the next five years, let alone through the late 2010's.
Admittedly, in projecting those "economic/political developments" I was anticipating parallels to the trajectory of 1965-1975, rather than the 1925-1935 scenario that's unfolding now 😦
- 2. Eric Haynes - December 12, 2008
Yep, ole Mike finally made a big mistake..which is he and his ego is finding it hard to let go.
In hindsight, the smart thing to do was give the transition team both options (1. Keep the shuttle or 2. Ditch the shuttle and continue with Constellation), keep his mouth SHUT and smile on the way out the door.
Nope, Mike's ego got in the way and now he's going to cry out the door, saying how badly he got screwed when in reality he screwed himself.
- 3. Charles Pooley - December 12, 2008
This incestuous coupling of industries with NASA is the civilian version of what Eisenhower warned us about. Since the Apollo days, NASA has become a parasite.
Griffin's remarks are just "never mind the man behind the curtain" from Oz.
NASA needs to be dismantled, parts to support unmanned space probes, and support as a customer, not compete with a nascent space industry.
- 4. John McGowan - December 13, 2008
NASA already is a customer for the "nascent space industry", also known as Big Aerospace: Lockheed and the few other giant aerospace firms.
When I attended the Space Frontier Conference in 2000 (my only time), I heard numerous speakers argue that NASA should get out of low Earth orbit, leave it to "private enterprise", apparently meaning alt.space, now New Space, companies, and focus on deep space exploration. This struck me then and still does as ludicrous. The alt.space companies had and for the most part still have no track record in space. They have never sent so much as a paperclip into orbit. In contrast, NASA and Big Aerospace have successfully launched hundreds of satellites, space vehicles, and the Space Station into orbit. There was and still is no contest between NASA/Big Aerospace and alt.space.
So far, SpaceX has not really changed the equation. With difficulty, they have one satellite up. Congratulations are in order, but there experience also demonstrates yet again how difficult it is to build and launch rockets successfully.
Returning to the original post, NASA, like most government R&D colossi, will almost certainly continue to limp along in a rut for decades. These programs have enormous inertia. Sadly, thirty plus years of experience not just with NASA but many other programs shows that attempts to lobby for a change in direction will fail. Fusion researchers keep building ever larger tokamaks despite 30 years of failure. Cancer researchers keep pursuing oncogenes despite 30 years of mostly rising cancer rates. The same could be said of many other programs. The enormous amount of money and jobs involved in these R&D programs makes the programs extremely rigid. They have enormous financial resources for propaganda and lobbying to head off any challenge. Over the decades, they have developed sophisticated techniques to ignore, coopt, and often successfully ridicule and marginalize any alternatives.
As the experience of alt.space/New Space demonstrates, the "private sector" usually lacks the experience and skills in genuine R&D (not commercializing a proven technology that exists as a working prototype somewhere) to succeed where the stagnant government R&D programs have failed. In most cases, the "private sector" and its cheerleaders are unaware that they lack the necessary skills and experience. Perhaps Elon Musk has found this out the hard way, which may be a step in the right direction. Even so, a SpaceX or other "alternative space" company must not only reinvent the rocket but surpass the state of the art which is even more difficult.
- 5. Peter - December 14, 2008
Griffin has heard the saying "Trust, but verify" (since it was a favorite of Reagan, and this guy was appointed by bush). So his complaints about not being trusted are deceitful at best. The guy's loud complaints are a sign that he has something to hide. As Shakespeare put it: "methinks the lady doth protest too much"
- 7. Eric Haynes - December 15, 2008
I agree with Peter, Griffin must be hiding something. He probably has been hiding the truth about how much everything really costs in a vain attempt to keep Constellation alive.
Although I was a big fan at first; there's something conceited, smarmy, and condescending about Griffin's character. Just look at him, he's always got that "I'm smarter than you" smirk on his face. Just for kicks, click on NASA's official bio and try not laugh, I bet you can't! http://www.nasa.gov/about/highlights/griffin_bio.html

Missouri capitol reporters still trying to police their own
By TERRY GANEY / The reporters who make up the Missouri Capitol News Association recently came together to consider problems with one of the press corps' members, the Missouri Times, a newly formed organ published by former Poplar Bluff Mayor Scott Faughn. The press group had put the Missouri Times on notice in late January. While one member of the press corps wanted to suspend the Missouri Times from the group, the vast majority agreed to give him more time to come up with a stronger written policy that separates the financial side of the Missouri Times from the reporters who cover the news.

Here's a video from Fox News on the left wing protests at the DNC. To their credit they actually noted that these groups are not fans of Obama (though the reporter emphasized how surprised he was to see it), but I think the most instructive part of this video is how all encompassing the conventional wisdom that such people could not possibly be reasoned with is. The notion of an inherrent unseriousness of the left truly harms the prospects for progressive goals, and it's one I am actively working to refute. Check it out for yourself below (via Glenn Greenwald):
Although my opinions on the utility of protest are developing due in large part to how they are depicted, I must admit, seeing the fear in the eyes of our establishment media makes me even more confident that real change is upon us. Such protests are certainly motivation building for those who share such views already, but sadly, such a video will do little to help Fox News viewers escape from the Matrix-esque bizzaro world they are trapped in.
The question of how important and feasible that really is will be often debated on this blog, as I consider exposing and ending the finely tuned propaganda appartus that our mainstream media has become to be perhaps the most integral battle for true patriots to fight in these times.

I want it now. Most likely, this is how you feel most of the time. And there is a reason for that…with microwaves, instant movie and data streaming, constantly being connected to the world on our phones, we tend to forget the fact that anything and everything we achieve in your life takes an important skill. What is that skill? Patience.
There is no doubt that we live in an "I want it now society". And when things don't happen in the time frame when we think they should happen or want them to happen, it leads to a cascading effect of our emotions. Frustration, depression, and anger set in because our patience is lacking.
Society dictates to us to get it now…to have it now – all in the name of luxury, and comfort. There are multimillion dollar businesses out there to help you improve yourself to achieve this status. Normally, they will help you learn to do more with less, or doing something faster. But let's stop and focus on something…when was the last time you worked on your patience?
Typically speaking, we hardly EVER deliberately work on our patience. In this life when our patience is tested, it's normally by force. There's usually no choice in the matter at all. We become impatient with everything in our lives, with our friends, with our family, and even with ourselves.
Patience is stored momentum towards the life you want, and instead of growing weaker, our patience should be growing stronger with each day. So the question is, how do we strengthen our patience levels? One way is to learn to meditate. Meditation allows you to learn to listen to yourself longer, and evaluate what you are saying to yourself.
Take care of yourself by taking care of your patience. This is critical to achieving your goals and becoming a shining light to others. When you are doing all you can to make things happen for yourself, sometimes you have to realize that patience is the key to your eventual success. Exercising your patience allows you to make your wisest decisions and grow exponentially as a person. In short, everything you will achieve in your life starts and ends with your level of patience.
Inspired Visions Point of Power: Patience is your inner power.
~Be Inspired and Live You!

Fashion, beauty or life tip
A fashion, beauty or life tip
Well I am no fashionista, and I am not one to wear makeup, so the only thing I have to offer you is a life tip.
Ask Questions..
I know I am always on about this. And it can be the most simplest of things. with mothers day coming up in a few days why not visit your mum and ask her and any other old family member's / siblings etc about your families history.
Now most people know the basics like Birth, Marriage Deaths etc. But what about those little things like
- How did your parents meet
- What was high school like for them.
- When your mum found out she was pregnant what where her thoughts
- Was she hoping for a boy or a girl.
- Did she lose any babies / infants.
- Did she work and if so where.
- What are the houses they lived in like. (another fun thing is to look the homes up on google / trove / real estate pages).
- Look through old photos together and ask questions about the photo
- Take notes on your phone and a photo of the photo, there are some great memory keeping apps out there that would be helpful.
- If they know dates, people in the photo, write that all down.
- I am working on 52 Stories this year from Family search which is a great start, but a quick google search of questions to ask older family members will bring you up a wealth of ideas.
When my grandmother passed away in 2005 I was given a lot of albums of her photos, over the years I have sorted through them and put all of the information that I can work out on project life cards next to the photo.
For people I don't know much information about I have set a file up called the Unidentified Project and I just add photos to it when I sort through them, any information that I find online through Ancestry I put with the photos. My grandmothers side of the family still remains my biggest mystery. Considering I spent many years with her, and even in my teenage years lived with her, I am still unaware of who she was and who her family where. I don't even know her fathers name.
So I can't emphasise enough how important it is to ask questions.
So give your Mother, Yourself, Your Family and future generations the gift of history this year..
Edited 12th May (NOT A SPONSORED Post)
I have just come across this wonderful book called StoryWorth. Which sends you a weekly prompt and at the end of it you can order a book of stories written by your parent / grandparent or even yourself.

A frustratingly unfair Egyptian scott adams game, June 5, 2017
by MathBrushThis game is a pure treasure hunt, with 13 different treasures to find and gather in a central location; this is in contrast to Secret Mission, The Count, and Mystery Fun House, which appeared before this game.
This game is really unfair; you have to repeat actions, destroy important-seeming things, etc.
However, it matches the genre well; pyramids are supposed to be filled with unfair death traps.
Overall, though, this is still a good game.

Christmas Glitz
A few weeks ago while out Christmas shopping, I picked up a bottle of Wet N Wild Wild Shine nail polish. I'm not big on keeping my nails painted because they're naturally brittle and I have a hard time maintaining any length…and it's just worse with polish on them. I'll whack my hand on something and just like Rice Krispies (Snack, Crackle and Pop – get it??) they're broken all off.
But I couldn't resist this pretty shade.
AND it was pretty cheap AND since I'm a sucker for just about anything that glitters, I said "why not?" and brought it home.
So, in the spirit of Christmas parties, twinkling lights and sparkly wrapping paper, here are my pretty holiday nails.

Medi-Weightloss 1 ReviewsI lost 20 pounds here!
I have been thinking of going back to my original size before I had babies for a long time. Medi-Weightloss helped me lost 20.5lbs and maintained at my goal weight! The most interesting part is that in my case, 17 pounds in those 20 pounds I lost is fat mass, not from water or muscle. It is a fairly easy program for me, since they provided a very practical grocery list with more food options than I thought. I learned a lot about nutrition from weekly consultation sessions. B12 injections is really effective boosting my energy level. Appetite suppressant is also helpful. The protein shakes tastes much better than I have ever tried in other brands. Their Nurse Practitioner Chris is very...

http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20100120/nation.htm#22////////////////////// Gadkari: BJP will not allow Kashmir autonomy////////////////// Faraz Ahmad////////////// Tribune News Service ///////////// New Delhi, January 19///////////// The BJP will never allow autonomy of Kashmir, asserted its president Nitin Gadkari here today. Gadkari was addressing members of Panun Kashmir at a function organised by the Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Research Foundation to commemorate fleeing of Kashmiri pandits from the Valley on January 19, 1990. This was also the first public address of the new president of the BJP. /////////////// He also declared that his party would adopt a resolution in its national council meeting slated to be held in Indore, a month from now. Gadkari said, "We will build pressure on the Government of India through mass mobilisation and will never allow any further autonomy for Kashmir." The meeting was called to oppose any further autonomy of Kashmir, as recommended by the Justice Saghir Ahmad Committee. ///////////// This committee or group was one of the five groups formed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh way back in 2006 to solve the several tangled issues bothering the Kashmiri people. Justice Saghir Ahmad chaired once such group to discuss the issue of greater autonomy for Kashmir, as demanded by parties in the Kashmir valley, particularly the National Conference and PDP. /////////////////// Gadkari said, "Kashmir is our identity since 1947. The first martyr in the cause of Kashmir was Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and I assure you that your sacrifices will not go waste either. We are standing firmly with you. Things have come to such a pass because of the Congress. //////////////// The tragedy is that politicians cannot think beyond the next elections. /////////////// This Saghir Ahmad report, we will never allow it to be implemented." He said, "The BJP is committed to secularism and justice, but that means justice to all and discrimination against none." ////////////// The meeting, however, started on a sour note when the convenor of the Foundation Tarun Vijay invited Manushi editor Madhu Kishwar to speak. Immediately a couple of women, including a known Delhi journalist rushed to the dais and prevented her from speaking, protesting against the fact that she had earlier shared a platform with the Hurriyat activists at another function on the Kashmir issue. They stalled the proceedings for nearly half an hour. /////////////// Later speaking from the dais, chairman of the foundation and BJP vice-president Bal Apte criticised former Supreme Court judges. Justice Saghir Ahmad is a retired judge of the Supreme Court. /////////////////// He said, "The Supreme Court has delivered some great judgements. But I do not know what happens to them once they retire. We all know what they end up as. There is need for judges also to stick to the right path. We have to fight against not just the administration, but such mindset of the judges as well." //////////////// 000000000

It took about twenty-one hours to fly from New York City to Bangkok, including a stopover in Seoul, South Korea hello seoul. The most interesting thing about Bangkok was the Tuk-Tuk, a three wheeled vehicle that I had only seen in Thailand i love bangkok. Our first stop was at Baiyoke Tower II, the second tallest building in Bangkok, which had a revolving floor where you could see the entire city the island nation. We also visited the Wat Traimit temple, which was famous for its golden buddha statue buddha is peace.

We digitally index physical location of your business including products, services and another point of interests. It makes your mobile app more interactive for a business specific product or service search, availability and location features, mapping and navigation indoor locations and beacons.
Thinking about use cases, we add a layer of contextual awareness in your location-based mobile app. By adding certain features like past purchase data, we improvise analytic understanding of the app. This makes your app to give incredibly intelligent notifications to the user they are interested in receiving.
Get ten to twenty times audience coverage and tons of insights to enhance your mobile business strategy. Location detector and other contextual triggers are coded to run in the background. This enables notifying customers about recent offers in that area at the right time and at the right place.

Useful for retailers, it confirms customer location to determine whether he/she is in store or not. From guiding, the customer to the store location to tracking their visit to certain sections it does everything, allowing you to provide a seamless shopping experience to your valued customers.
By intelligently using beacon technology, digital location indexing and detecting location in background users can share their real-time location with family and friends. Find taxis, buses, or metros and book them online, track shipments or search nearby places is possible with this kind of apps.
Recently, many governments allowed cellular operators to identify the subscriber location in case of emergency. Possibly, such apps are not revenue-generating apps but do play an important role in conceiving medical and safety services. Nevertheless, when combined with telemedicine these apps are revolutionizing healthcare industry.
Mobile users are being provided with wide range of localized information like Weather forecasts, landmarks, restaurants, gas stations, repair shops, ATM's, public transportation etc. By including other product database information, such as prices and other terms, then real time comparison-shopping may be feasible en-route or even inside stores
Apart from finding geolocation of the users, LBS Apps guide the user along the best routes. Many automobile manufacturers offer state-of-the-art GPS systems or telematics/automatic vehicle location tracking services in their vehicles. When integrated with real-time traffic data, to make routes contingent on current traffic conditions.
E-commerce businesses have started using location-based mobile apps to market their products and services. LBS apps are being used to make payments for tickets at theaters, public transportations, and vending machines or for speedy checkouts. By using location based mobile apps e-commerce vendors are offering delighting experience to their users.
LBS are specifically used to locate peoples, pets, objects vehicles etc. Transportation companies are using LBS to track their trucks in real time along with the contents inside delivery truck using onboard wireless LAN. LBS apps helped them achieve enhanced efficiency, better customer service, optimized delivery and preventing theft of valuable items.
Enterprises are using different applications (Internal Information System Apps) for employees that are usually out of office. Often these applications are partnered with LBS apps for implementation. These apps & scheduling applications where the location of workers is tracked are used as mobile offices for various purposes.
1 out of 5 smartphone user relies on location-based proximity services to find next bus, metro, to book a taxi, find nearby restaurant, gas station, etc. Proximity apps overlap many of the above app categories. These apps are used to inform users when they are at a certain distance from businesses, people or other things. Increase your reach with these apps.
So following a popular trend is the new trend! The digital world is taking over the rest. It's no more another popular myth that, any business can be out of 'the business'
