North Coast Gardening: There's plenty to plant this time of year
October begins with the scratchy song of a timid tree frog croaking in a pile of fallen leaves. Change is coming. Although our weather morphs to autumn chill, chores abound in the October garden. Here is what we can do this month to make our gardens thrive: PLANT SPRING BULBS — These days nurseries are loaded with a wide variety of spring-flowering bulbs.
Dave's People: People who help people
Everything turned white and I dropped the church collection plate. Someone had pulled the plug on my energy source and I fainted, dropping to my knees and spilling the cash. Five minutes of rest and I would be fine for the rest of the church service, I thought.
Gray Matters: Community building grows in Arcata
"It is in the shelter of each other that the people live." — Irish proverb In a continuing effort to build bridges, the city of Arcata is hosting a second community potluck through their new "Home Away from Home" program.
Dave's People: I'll always have a story
No drummer. It was show time and the kid with the drumsticks wasn't there. He had gone out to run errands and hadn't come back. The Arcata Playhouse audience was ready for an evening of comedy and music with my friend, Charlie Gilbert — backed by friends.
On the Move: Getting prepared for the holiday season
It is October and our thoughts turn to harvest, the change of seasons and, before we know it, the "Holidays." For some, this brings excitement at the prospect of readying our families and homes for the season.
The Second Half: Singing is like riding a bike
Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I am writing this column sitting in a motel room in Eagle Nest, New Mexico. It's a simple little town, perched on the edge of a mountain lake. The geese seem to actually be flying south, as the weather has turned.
Striving for 'Imprefection': Mindsets can evolve
Being a sci-fi enthusiast, I was blown away by "The Matrix" in 1999, only to be disappointed in the writing of the sequels. Instead of further expanding on the brilliant intellectual aspects of the first film, the writers developed a conceit of inverting concepts to make them merely sound intellectual.
Community Connections: Eureka's new police chief
In honor of Eureka's new police chief, here's a classic "Community Connections" column focusing on former captain and current Eureka Police Chief Steve Watson: Captain Steve Watson is responsible for Service Area 1, which primarily consists of Eureka's core commercial and industrial districts.
North Coast Gardening: Autumn sage offers rainbow of colors
One of the best ways to make your fall garden sparkle with color and feed the hummingbirds, too, is to plant autumn sage, Salvia greggii. Although this perky, hardy perennial blooms beginning in late spring, it puts on the best show during fall, when most summer perennials begin their decline.
Dave's People: An emu named Kevin
"Cash me outside. How about dat?" said the panhandler in the San Francisco Castro District. Someone had just called him out for not having a job and that was his comeback. What a curious iteration, I thought.
On Medicare: Two ways to get benefits
At a family reunion last month, my Aunt Abby and Uncle Glen got into a squabble over the best way to get their Medicare benefits. Uncle Glen is an Original Medicare man, and has been for nearly a decade.
The Second Half: Let Dad be happy
Dear Tracey >> My dad is 79 and has been a widower for 10 years. He adored my mother. They were married for 50 years and it was a really good marriage. I know he still misses her terribly, which is why I'm a little upset about what he's been up to lately.
The Second Half: Realities of aging
Dear Tracey >> Every once in a while my 77-year-old mother sends me one of your columns. (She knows I like your style.) The last one she passed on was no exception. It's from a few weeks ago and in it you wrote about how "aging isn't cool.
The Second Half: Mother-in-law is too close for comfort
Dear Tracey >> I'm not a Boomer, but I always read your column. I just read about the mother-in-law who is showing up with dinners at her son's every week. Your take was spot on.
The Second Half: The power of love
Last week I was putting together a few little Valentine's goodies for our 6-year-old granddaughter — stickers, pencils, a fun workbook. Naturally, it had me thinking about what our family considers Valentine's Day to be as opposed to what Valentine's Day has become — yet another over blown, commercialized day that sadly seems to make millions of people sad and downright miserable because they don't have a significant other.
The Second Half: Revisit the past
Here's a flash to the past … where were you during the 1960s? Maybe the answer to this question puts an embarrassed grin on your face or maybe it rattles some life-altering experiences stored deep within your brain.
Gray Matters: Stay in shape and reduce litter
Most medical professionals agree that walking is one of the simplest ways to exercise. It is something you can do with friends. It eases stress, helps with your sleep, gets you outside, improves your mood and is low impact.
The Second Half: The best of both worlds
Every once in awhile people ask me if I'm retired? Well, yes, and no. Based on what I'm up to these days, I suppose I'm officially semi-retired? At a time when many people are entertaining the "all or nothing approach" to retirement, I'm lucky to be able to redefine my work in a way that matches 65-year-old needs and interests.
North Coast Gardening: Wood ash helps control slugs, snails
By now, most gardeners who heat their homes with a wood stove have accumulated a bountiful supply of wood ashes. To use wood ash in the garden is a good thing, for the most part. It is a free fertilizer.
The Second Half: Exploring interests
On a recent frosty winter afternoon, with our wood stove raging and two sleeping pets at my feet, I cozied into the couch for a leisurely look at HSU OLLI's course catalog for the spring. It may have been a little like how people used to wander through the Sears catalog.
The Second Half: The good, bad and ugly
Dear Tracey >> A couple of years ago my daughter said I should get on Facebook so I could feel more involved with what she and my grandchildren are up to. With my family spread out all across the country, it seemed like a good idea.
Striving for 'Imprefection': The lucky number for 2017
Numbers loom large in our lives. We commemorate birthdays and anniversaries in numbers of years. We monitor wealth in number of dollars. We even categorize our state of being via numbers: IQ, BMI, HDL.
Community Connections: A holiday to remember
Happy New Year fellow community members! I hope everybody had a very happy holiday and restful time off. Eureka Parks & Recreation is still buzzing from a successful event that we put on a couple of days before Christmas.
The Second Half: Ringing in a new year
New Year's Eve is right around the corner and I'm not sure how we might celebrate this year. Typically, we gather with wonderful friends for good times, lots of laughter and a few silly games.
North Coast Gardening: Weed, prune and spray this winter
The new year begins with rain, frost and snow. This does not stop a dark cloud of starlings from feeding on green grass, as do egrets and blue herons. They like this weather. Gardeners, not so much.
Dave's People: The promise of a new year
Wow! What a story! A yam shop in Ferndale run by an 82-year-old woman. I had gotten the e-mail from a TV viewer singing praises of the place. The senior businesswoman had taught her how to knit. The connection between knitting and yams? Who knew? But it was New Year's Eve and I needed to seize the spirit and do what I do best — tell great stories for television and turn yams into sweet potatoes.
Dave's People: Every day is a gift
"I see you are taking pictures of our airport," said the crisp little Cuban customs agent. He wanted to know why. "For my neighbors back home," I replied. "Neighbors" was my euphemism for local television.
Striving for 'Imprefection': Celebrating in December
Because many people know me as the "weight loss guy," they think I'm monitoring what they eat or how they act. As I have stated on numerous occasions, should we bump into each other at a restaurant or grocery store, I'm not watching what you eat or put in your grocery cart — and I would appreciate you returning the favor.
Community Connections: Meet the police captains
I realized not too long ago that with as many Eureka City Council members, Eureka Parks & Recreation staff and other citizens that I have profiled in this column, I have never written on any members of the police department, which is a huge oversight considering the name of this column is "Community Connections," and the police department is one of the elements that define a community.
The Second Half: Creating new traditions
Dear Tracey >> I was married for 30 years and have two beautiful kids and four grandchildren. Five years ago, I divorced my husband. After lots of painful counseling, I finally came to terms about who I am, a lesbian who has lived a lie my entire life.
The Second Half: Don't rush the decision
Dear Tracey >> I was married for 35 years when my husband told me he'd been having an affair for two years and wanted a divorce. It's hard to believe, but it came as a complete shock.
Community Connections: Get to know our police captains
I realized not too long ago that with as many Eureka City Council members, Eureka Parks & Recreation staff and other citizens that I have profiled in this column, I have never written about any members of the police department, which is a huge oversight considering the name of this column is "Community Connections" and the police department is one of the elements that define a community.
Striving for 'Imprefection': Loving the flaws
Weight loss is not simply changing one's body; it requires new skills, attitude adjustments and different means of handling close relationships. Old friends, who have developed patterns over years, now must shift to accommodate new behaviors.
North Coast Gardening: Strawberries for the season
Plucking summer strawberry fruits might be a gardener's reverie on a December rainy day, but this time of year it is time to get started with planting. Bare root strawberries are available this month and next at local nurseries.
Dave's People: Love can open gates
I'd been rude. That's what the e-mail said. I hadn't brought a loaf of bread to a Thanksgiving feast, a violation of social grace. OK, in the lingo of transactional communication, I had been a "dingbat.
Community Connections: Comforts of Christmas
Well, we've arrived in December folks. The holiday season brings a lot of holiday cheer, but it also brings a lot of holiday stress. Money gets tight, family reunions and gatherings remind you why you didn't just stay at home to live forever in the first place, workloads pile up, everywhere you go is packed and there is never any time! There are a lot of articles, columns and literary pieces each year that come out talking about ways to avoid the holiday stress.
Striving for 'Imprefection': Inhaling your meals
It would be so much simpler during the holiday season to stay in control and maintain one's weight if it wasn't for that darned need to eat. Think of how thin we'd be. Consider how much money we'd save at grocery stores and restaurants.
The Second Half: It's OK to try something new
Dear Tracey >> My daughters have four kids between them. All of my grandchildren are between the ages of 13 and 19. They are good kids, but I think they are a bit spoiled. They seem to have a lot of stuff they never use.
Dave's People: Learning to coexist
If I were a plant, I would be a toadstool among mushrooms, an English ivy barking up the wrong tree. You might even hire billy goats to chew me out without stomping on the rest of the eco-system. Maybe I would have been better suited for the Ivy League.
Community Connections: Transition is hard
"How did you get your job?" That's the No. 1 question I'm asked all the time. While I'd like to think that I get that question so frequently is because supervising the Eureka Recreation Division is so obviously the coolest job on the planet (it is cool, but far from the coolest thing on the planet), it's mostly due to the fact that we have hundreds of college-aged recreation majors cycle through our department every year.
The Second Half: Prevent those scams
It's happened again. My dear friend of many years has been the victim of yet another scam. Regretfully, this has been going on for the last few years. Suffering from dementia, she is frequently targeted by these despicable characters.
Dave's People: Trusting myself
"Sorry, bro. Something's come up. Can't have dinner," said the friend in the phone message. That was OK. I had lunch scheduled with another friend the next day. We would sit in the Café Marina's sun-baked patio and watch sea gulls drop the milk of human kindness.
Community Connection: Starting a new era
What do you think your favorite era in your life was? Then again, how does one define an era? A quick Google search defines an era as a long and distinct period of history with a particular feature or characteristic.
Striving for 'Imprefection': Early thanks for hard times
I know we're not quite at Thanksgiving yet but I am also aware that we have been through a grueling election season and there are a great many damaged spirits, emotional bruises and sore feelings.
Esther the Zester: The season for winter squash is now
It's the time of year for winter squash … spaghetti squash, acorn squash, Hubbard squash, banana squash, delicata squash, butternut squash and field pumpkins — yes, those jack-o'-lanterns you carve for Halloween each year are actually a squash, or to be precise, they're actually in the same family as squashes and gourds, the Cucurbitaceae family — and are a few of the most popular squashes.
North Coast Gardening: Keep gardens in good shape
November is a quirky month when it comes to gardening. Since daylight time is short these days, it is dark when we leave for work and dark when we get home. We can only hope for good gardening weather on a day off.
Dave's People: Happiness emerges from nowhere
My smartphone was bursting with text messages. "My family hates each other," wrote one friend. "My country hates itself," wrote another. I told both friends to "hang in there," the lame advice I have received myself through my own hell and high water.
Community Connections: Get out and explore your town
Safeway and Starbucks. Those are the two places I frequent most outside of my job. Granted, my job takes me to many different community partners and parks and we host a ton of community events, but Safeway and Starbucks are really the only places I see almost daily outside of my house that don't take place during work hours.
Striving for 'Imprefection': Locus of control
At the very first session I had with my therapist oh so many years ago, the opening question out of my mouth was, "How long will this take?" Being ever the smart aleck, he replied, "About 50 minutes.
The Second Half: It's a time for healing
As someone who believes that every vote counts, I feel fortunate to live in a democracy. So, it will come as no surprise to learn that a couple of weeks ago, I mailed in my ballot. I hope you've done the same or that you will stop at your local polling place today and cast your vote.

Same approach after half term break. Sense of wanting to change but think that the spareness may yet allow me to make more detailed notes… Feels hard to pull out of the more'ish tracing of contours but would be good to somehow change gear to describe some of the confusion areas….with diagrams & written notes?
Now that I'm working so minimally it would also be possible to move around the room and not stay so locked into one perspective.

Russia says it will form new military divisions to be stationed along the country's borders with Europe to counter a planned NATO buildup.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Wednesday that two new divisions would be formed along the western border and one along the southern border by the end of the year.
Shoigu gave no specifics about the number of additional troops to be deployed.
U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Monday that the NATO alliance was considering establishing a continuous rotation of up to 4,000 troops in the Baltic states and possibly Poland, reflecting deepening worry in the West about Russian military assertiveness.
Carter said this would be separate from a U.S. decision to send a U.S. armored brigade of about 4,200 troops to Eastern Europe next February.

Re: Time speeding up
I guess you can perceive time the way you like. A day where nothing happens also can be perceived as fast. Especially when playin a game time can run very fast. But I must admit that I also have this general feeling of speeding up. But it might as well is because of what I see hear or read and believe that it is perceived this way. We have no chance to prove it anyway for time is relative scientifically speaking

Re: Time speeding up
time is relative to the person. you feel like time is going faster for you because that is how you perceive it to be, it is not actually going faster, you just perceive it so

What does red mean to you? What does red mean to an artist? Red is a color considered terrifying but to some it's a color of beauty. It plays with romance and sits around mutilated bodies grotesque, grim and violent yet still a color of love.

tv Hardball With Chris Matthews MSNBC October 5, 2012 7:00pm-8:00pm EDT
7:00 pm
they are an alternative universe. too bad that we have to live in the real world and have to deal with the real results of some of the policies that they enact. let's deal with reality and change it. thanks for watching. i'm al sharpton. "hardball" starts right now. 7.8 jobless number. let's play "hardball." ♪ good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start with the good news on the unemployment front, getting the jobless number down to 7.8% a month before the election could be the upbeat news to give this president the kind of big-time bounce he needs. since the campaign began, we've
7:01 pm
known the power of the unemployment figure. now we have the number itself. plus, the good news about the last two months, it's clear that the economy created more jobs than previously estimated. there are some people out there who don't like this number, don't like it at all, and leading the band is the legendary ceo of general electric, jack welch, who joins us right now. jack, you made a lot of news today. here is the tweet you put out this morning. unbelievable jobs numbers. these chicago guys will do anything. can't debate so change numbers. and i'm just wondering, i understand the way it works is the president gets a heads-up on the unemployment number 4:00 the day before and has to keep it to himself. you're saying in your tweet this morning that the news went the other way, that the people working for the president somehow got the bls, the bureau of labor statistics, and played with the numbers so it would come down below 8% today. how does it work from your perspective? what happened here? >> well, chris, all i can talk about are some of the numbers. we had 600,000 government jobs added in the last two months.
7:02 pm
we had 873,000 jobs by a household survey, which is a total estimate from 50,000 phone calls. of those 600,000 were temporary workers. chris, these numbers are all a series of assumptions, tons of assumptions, and it just seems somewhat coincidental that the month before the election, the numbers go one tenth of a point below where they were when the president started, although i don't see anything in the economy that says these surges are true. the 873,000 jobs in the household survey is the strongest economy since 1983. i don't think you can find an economist, there were 25 of them this morning that predicted 8.1% to 8.2%, but they did predict 114,000 jobs. we got 114,000 jobs, and somehow the assumptions ended up at 7.8%.
7:03 pm
>> well, let me get back to your tweet this morning. it must be embarrassing for you to do a tweet now after the power you used to have. i mean, tweeting doesn't seem like something i'd hear from jack welch, and i mean it. here you put out the word, unbelievable jobs number, fair enough. these chicago guys will do anything so they changed the numbers. what evidence do you have that they got to the bls? >> i have no -- >> that the chicago guys got to the bureau of labor statistics and jimmied these numbers by 0.3%. >> i have no evidence to prove that. i just raise the question. >> you didn't raise the question. you said these chicago guys will do anything so they changed the number. you were asserting here in your
7:04 pm
tweet that you put out at 8:35 this morning, five minutes after the report came out -- did you talk to any economists or anybody in the accounting world that understood how the numbers were put together before you accused the chicago guys of changing the numbers? >> chris, i know these numbers are gathered by a series of wild assumptions, maybe they weren't right at 8.5%, maybe they weren't right at 8.4%, but it seems coincidental that one month before the election they would end up at 7.8%. the president today is on the stump. the president always talked about his 7.8%. he didn't mention 600,000 jobs added in the government -- >> let's -- see, it's not your attitude about obama people care about, it's your analysis, and you came out this morning and asserted not a question mark or a question or concern about a coincidence. you say these chicago guys will do anything so they change the numbers. do you want to take that back? >> no, i don't want to take anything back. >> this is serious, there was jimmying with the numbers, corruption, infiltration or getting to -- it's not funny, jack. you're talking about the president of the united states playing with the bureau of labor
7:05 pm
statistics number. this is nixon stuff. this is what nixon did back in the old days. >> chris, don't lose it now. >> i'm not losing it. look at my face. i'm not losing it. >> i can't see your face. >> do you want to take back the charge -- >> no, i don't want to take back one word in that tweet. >> so you assert as of now, 5:00 this afternoon, these chicago guys will do anything, they can't debate so they change numbers. >> i didn't say what they did. i said they'd do anything. >> and what did they do here? >> they've been calling mitt romney a liar, a falsehood, for the last 48 hours after the debate. >> okay. but you don't have any independent evidence. you didn't get any evidence between the time the numbers came out this morning at 8:30 and 8:35 when you tweeted. you didn't use that five minutes to gather any actual information or evidence -- >> no, but i tweeted last night, chris, tweeted last night that i predicted it would be at 7.9%. >> okay. and why did you make that
7:06 pm
prediction? >> because i guessed that's what would happen a month before the election. >> so you guessed that the chicago guys would do this. >> well, i don't want to put words in the mouth of what i said last night, but that's what i did. >> well, this morning -- i just want -- let's not go over the tweet one more time. the question -- what started this today, and people with a lot less iq than you and certainly a lot less business sense like allen west and some of the real screwballs out there are following the band you're leading, and the band you put together today was that there's corruption here, that the chicago people, meaning the guys around president obama, got to the bls -- >> chris. >> -- and manipulated the numbers. >> chris, stop it now. i have reviewed 14 businesses this week from restaurants to rental cars to widgets. i have seen everybody with a third quarter equal to or weaker than first quarter. in order to get 873,000 new jobs, you would have to have a gdp going at 4% to 5%. the second quarter was downgraded from 1.7 to 1.3. the third quarter is the no going to be very strong. it just defies the imagination
7:07 pm
to have a surge larger than any surge since 1983 a month before the election. i leave it to you to do all the analysis. >> i'm just going back because it seemed like you were doing that. let me go to keith hall. he was bush's guy, commissioner of the bls. he said to "the wall street journal" today following what you said, there's no way someone at the bureau of labor statistics could change any data from its surveys. these numbers are good. so why do you know more than him? do you really -- i think it gets back to the question of integrity. do you believe that the bls lacks integrity? that a president of the united states -- nixon said he could never get to them. he used to say there's an ethnic problem, they were jewish people. he thought they were out to get
7:08 pm
him. now you say the president controls the bls. previous presidents say they couldn't get their hands into that place. >> you don't think it's coincidental we have the biggest surge since 1983 in the job surge? come on, chris. >> it's 0.3 of 1% shift this month. >> no, chris -- >> 0.3. it went from 8.1%. >> it was 8.1 to 7.8. it's a 6% improvement in employment in two months. chris, 6% improvement would require a gdp -- >> jack, all i want to know is when we write this down three weeks from now or four weeks from now when the election is over, i want to know what you meant. do you mean it's a coincidence or do you mean you have evidence that there was corruption -- >> i have no evidence of corruption, none whatsoever. >> so these chicago guys had nothing to do with the number coming out today. >> i don't know that. >> why did you say it? these chicago guys will do anything, change the numbers. you just said it in your tweet. i'm careful when i tweet. i usually have somebody like my
7:09 pm
producer -- say read my tweet. did you really want to stand behind this tweet? >> i want to raise the question of these -- >> you did raise the question. >> chris, these numbers defy logic. they defy logic. we do not have a 4% to 5% booming economy with 873,000 people added. i mean, stop it, chris. on the face of it, we don't have this gdp. i love you, but you can't get there. >> i think you're a great, brilliant businessman. i wish you were in charge of my stock options these days because you made a lot of money for us here, but let me ask you this one more time. so that all the people out there of lesser intellect will stop marching in your band, jack welch thinks this is a coincidence. jack welch does not believe the boys in chicago changed the numbers? >> no, jack welch is raising the question for some good analyst to go look at. >> okay. good. you're raising the question. you certainly did that. jack welch, thank you for joining us at the very top of "hardball" tonight. >> thank you. >> with me not to fight with jack but to have a different point of view is jared bernstein, former chief
7:10 pm
economist and economic adviser to vice president biden. you heard that discussion. i like jack. i'm fond of the guy. jack welch has raised the question, but it was obviously his business instinct and his attitude i think towards this president that came together at 8:35 and he tweeted out this, unbelievable jobs numbers. these chicago guys will do anything. can't debate so they change the numbers. i'll go back to what i heard ezra klein say in the room, that a 0.3 of 1% shift in the unemployment rate is not wild. it's very conceivable. your thoughts. >> that's absolutely true. i mean, what i just heard from jack welch was about -- with respect i guess was about ten minutes of absolute nonsense with no grounding in what the bureau of labor statistics actually does. now, he's absolutely right that a very large jobs number in the household survey is an outlier. it's unusual. these things happen. that number has a large margin
7:11 pm
of error around it. the bureau of labor statistics is very public about that. >> but these are nonpoliticians though. these are absolute bureaucratic government servants. >> that's the point. it wasn't that jack welch was raising a question. it wasn't that there's an outlier in the data. he argued very clearly that the white house had a thumb on its scale, was entering a political bias into the print on the bls numbers. >> that's what he tweeted. >> that's what he tweeted. >> now he's come back and says he simply has questions. go ahead. >> that's an outrageous allegation, and it's an allegation that strikes at the heart of a statistical agency with a tremendous amount of integrity. i have worked at both the white house and the department of labor. the firewalls between them are extremely thick. the data processing, the analyses, the reporting are incredible rigorous and careful, and this is a number that moves markets. for a guy like that who claims to be an experienced businessman
7:12 pm
to come out and shed -- >> he is an experienced businessman, so we have to go from there, but the question is was he angry this morning, was his political attitude more than any kind of economic analysis? i would argue right now listening to him right now, it's his attitude towards obama, and i think he's shocked that the number looks so good. he doesn't want it to look that good. this number is going to help the president. >> absolutely. so it's pure political. you shouldn't be then -- you're right, for an experienced business guy who people listen to and look to, to cast that kind of a ridiculous aspersion is actually quite damaging and shouldn't be done. let's talk about the number. >> how good is this news today? >> how good is it, did you say? >> yes. >> it's good news. it's not over the moon good news, but it's good news. i think you have to look at the payroll survey. there i think you see an acceleration of job growth, and, by the way, welch has a point. you should never take one monthly number. if there's a germ of something in there, you should never take one monthly number. you should average. if you look at the past three months, payrolls have been
7:13 pm
growing about 150,000 per month compared to about 67,000 per month in the prior three months. so that's a bit of an acceleration. a little momentum on the unemployment rate. >> let's put it in historic terms. we cover elections, not economics generally, but ronald reagan was re-elected with a 7.2% because he said it was the morning in america. optimism was what he sold. he was able to say 7.2% is great news, great news. he got re-elected with 49 states. he lost minnesota and the district of columbia with 7.2%. what should obama get with 7.8%? it seems like it's within the range there and everybody is pooh-poohing it and, oh, geez. i know why jack welch is scared, that number is too damn close to reagan's number. >> i think how this works with the president's narrative is that we're moving in the right direction, don't change -- you know, don't change horses, don't go back to a playbook that demonstrably didn't work, the george bush supply side stuff
7:14 pm
that he can legitimately tie to mitt romney. he had a narrative that said the economy is moving in the right direction, and i think this job report actually strengthens that narrative. and much more than levels of variables like the level of the employment rate, it's momentum that i think forms voters' views on the economy. >> i think it was interesting that jack let out that last night he tweeted, i didn't know this, he had tweeted 7.9% was his prediction. that is not exactly a wide deviation from what he thought it was going to be. i would just say this now, i have tremendous respect for the bls. >> thank you. >> i have known all my life it's independent. people like nixon couldn't get to it. you couldn't get to it. >> you can't get to it. >> i think for him to say that i think is bad. i hope he softens -- i think he began to soften it today. it's not an attack on the integrity of those people working there. >> it's just the integrity of the system, which is one that's just irreproachable when it comes to the quality and the integrity of the statistics. >> why would you work over there for 30 or 40 years with pride and having a reputation for
7:15 pm
integrity so some joker could call you, quote, from chicago. give me a break, jack. >> i think someone who says what he said really should step back and think about that kind of a comment. >> my guess is he is. anyway, thank you, jared bernstein, for coming on to straighten some things up. coming up, who is that masked moderate man on the debate stage, the guy who plans no $5 trillion tax cut. if people want those tax cuts, they're looking for him. who won't cut education, who insists his health care plan covers people with pre-existing comment. the same guy who said his 47% comments were wrong. also, we're beginning to the learn more about the flawed strategy that led president obama to lay a debate egg wednesday night. best not happen again. we mentioned the unemployment number dropped sharply. finally, let me finish with
7:16 pm
7.8% jobless number, what it means, and why some people don't like looking at it. this is "hardball," the place for politics. >> after losing about 800,000 jobs a month when i took office, our businesses have now added 5.2 million new jobs over the past 2 1/2 years. this morning we found out that the unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level since i took office. more americans entered the workforce, more people are getting jobs. today's news certainly is not an excuse to try to talk down the economy to the score a few political points. it's a reminder that this country has come too far to the turn back now. we've made too much progress to return to the policies that landed us in the crisis in the first place.

7:21 pm
and i fought against long odds in a deep blue state, but i was a severely conservative republican governor. >> sounds dangerous. anyway, welcome back. that was mitt romney famously touting his conservative credentials calling him severely conservative. the right wing romney from the primary fight is no more. this week the etch-a-sketch came alive. the former governor championed centrist principles and got away with it. he keeps this act up. michael steele is a former chair of the rnc as well as an msnbc political analyst and cynthia tucker is a syndicated columnist. thank you. michael, there's on old tradition in politics, you go to
7:22 pm
your fringe or hard left or hard right to win the primaries and caucuses, and then you start to move slowly so by labor day you're ready to confront the enemy at the center. he didn't do it like that. he stayed right all the way through the summer and maybe masterfully wednesday decided to go with i'm for the 100%. i'm for pre-existing condition coverage, for all this education, all this good stuff. >> i think part of that -- you're right in your analysis, that's exactly what happens politically. i think for the romney campaign they took that strategy, elongated it because they had some shoring up to do with their base. >> can he pull it off? can you make that kind of switcheroo in september? >> i think you can, number one. >> october. >> september/october. i think you can, number one. number two, we saw obama do the same thing, albeit earlier in the process. he was to hillary's left. he brought it around, started quoting reagan in the fall sounding very reaganesque. this is what the politicians need to do because that's where the votes are. >> but your party has gotten so much domination by the tea party and the neo cons you almost have
7:23 pm
to sign on the dotted line. you have to sign down here no taxes. >> it doesn't matter what you sign -- >> it doesn't? >> at this stage of the game it doesn't matter. i'll tell you why. all those folks can vote for romney, and he still needs those conservative democrats -- >> i have a theory that the people hate obama so much on the right, cynthia, and perhaps center right, they hate him so much they want to have this guy go to the center as long as he wins. your thoughts? >> that's absolutely true, chris, because people like karl rove and billy crystal know that mitt romney is an empty suit, and they can push him around if he wins the presidency. you know that old saying if you stand for nothing, you won't stand for anything? well, romney doesn't stand for anything. he doesn't really have any values or principles that he really believes in except he really wants to be president. that's why we saw that new slick version of the romney bot on wednesday night.
7:24 pm
this romney bot, they worked on him for hours in the factory making sure he had the right smile, making sure he seemed warm and sincere. well, who was that guy, michael? this is not a guy we had seen on the campaign trail for the last -- >> i can't even take any of this seriously. >> -- several months. >> i think, first off, the whole idea this guy is an empty suit, it's laughable to say that. he was the governor of a state, and he was very successful as a governor of a state. he was able to cobble together the coalition, something this president hasn't been able to do, quite frankly, to get his agenda done. >> why does he keep saying his -- excuse me. this one gets to me, and i don't like the word lie, but i think he's dealing in an untruth here. he did it the other night after being corrected by his staff when he did it on one of the sunday shows. he said his health care plan, such as it's going to be, will cover people who don't have coverage for a pre-existing condition and they try to buy a policy, and he keeps saying they can go buy one and he'll make
7:25 pm
sure they can buy one legally, there will be such policies made available. immediately they come out and say it only covers people who have had continuous coverage who have been paying into their health insurance since they've been very young and not ill. same thing happened last time. he said it covers pre-existing conditions, and a staffer came out and said it doesn't. why does he keep saying something he knows his staffer will correct later? he wins the battle before the 70 million people. i know the game he's playing. plays to the biggest crowd with what he wants to say. >> why are you acting like you're so surprised? >> it is dishonest. >> it's not dishonest. >> it isn't? >> his plan, which is still evolving -- >> let's go to the big one. initially romney defended his now infamous 47% remarks where he doesn't care about them
7:26 pm
because they don't care about him, but last night he was a striking a very much different tone. he offered up the answer he probably would have given, who knows, had the president mentioned that 47% during wednesday's debate. let's watch him. >> well, clearly in a campaign with hundreds, if not thousands, of speeches and question and answer sessions, now and then you're going to say something that doesn't come out right. in this case i said something that's just completely wrong, and i absolutely believe, however, that my life has shown that i care about 100%, and that's been demonstrated throughout my life, and this whole campaign is about the 100%. when i become president, it will be about helping the 100%. >> it was a highly analytical thing he said at the fund-raiser it boca raton. he said the 47% of the people are takers. they get benefits from the government, social security or they get disabled benefits or whatever and they are veterans benefits, they're not paying income tax. that 47% are not taking
7:27 pm
responsibility for their lives as they should, and they're not going to vote for me. that's a big mouthful to say was a misstatement. what did he mean to say? >> well, i think what he meant to say, chris, was what he said in private. >> yeah. >> when he thought the cameras weren't rolling in private before wealthy donors. he said that the 47% were victims who were dependent on government, and that is why they voted for obama. and he didn't just stand by that remark then. when he was initially asked about it, he didn't say, oh, no, that was all wrong. he said, well, i may have stated it inelegantly, but i stand by the message. you know, michael said he was a successful governor of massachusetts for four years. most people agree that that's true, but he has spent the past two years repudiating every single thing he stood for when he was governor of massachusetts. so what values does mitt romney really have? what does mitt romney really
7:28 pm
believe except that he very much wants to be president of the united states? >> you're thoughts on the 47 going to 100 overnight on sean hannity. nice place to bring it up, by the way. >> i was critical of the comment on the 47% because i think it was not presidential, quite honestly, and i think his team, certainly mitt romney himself, realized how that was being interpreted regardless of his ultimate meaning. i'm for the 100%. these guys and the president and mitt romney both have admitted they've been in that box where they say things in private that when get exposed puts them in an awkward position whether it's gods and guns in 2008 or the 47% today. i think right now what he's trying to do, and i think rather effectively, is to contextualize that comment -- >> how is that different than etch-a-sketch? it's like my words don't mean anything 24 hours later. >> how long have you been doing campaigns and politics? when you get to general elections there's -- >> everything you say shouldn't be in disappearing ink.
7:29 pm
that's what it is, disappearing ink. >> it's not disappearing ink. >> i call it newt romney. michael steele, thank you. cindy tucker, have a nice weekend. we'll be enjoying that 7.8% unemployment rate. i'm sure you'll be celebrating it. thank you. by the way, they're talking about cutting for big bird. that's not going very well. wait until you hear what rick santorum wants to do with big bird. you can guess. this is "hardball." he wants to home school big bird, i guess. anyway, this is "hardball," the place for politics. ah.

7:33 pm
joined in. but here is a flashback of the romney/lehrer face-off from jimmy fallon. >> it's my priority to repeal obama -- >> okay, now, governor romney you are well over the two minute allotted -- >> jim, i still have 30 seconds here on -- >> if -- >> jim, jim -- just politely going to hush you up a bit. >> going to keep you. >> na, na, na. >> respect the governor -- >> jim, do us all a favor and just -- i think it's a little weird that you're here still. you can just leave and do whatever you want. >> no, i'm the moderator here. >> jim -- >> hold on now. i'm going to have to ask you to step down, okay? ja, ja, ja. >> that's just a noise. >> jim, jim, jim, would you shut the [ bleep ] up. >> that was a facsimile i think. more from the debate aftermath. the big bird nonsense continues. how did the former gop candidates feel about the mitt
7:34 pm
romney pledge to stop funding for pbs if elected president? first, rick santorum last night on cnn. >> would you kill big bird? >> well, as a matter of fact, i voted to kill big bird in the past. it doesn't mean i don't like big bird. you can kill things and still like them. maybe to eat them, i don't know. >> you can kill things but still like them? very interesting. on to newt gingrich who went to one zoo after another during his presidential campaign. newt was on cnn last night with former michigan governor jennifer granholm, an active obama supporter, of course. let's take a look. >> newt gingrich, should big bird be killed or not? >> that's total baloney. big bird makes millions and millions of dollars annually. >> save big bird! >> it's a commercially profitable show.
7:35 pm
i would save big bird by liberating big bird from the bureaucracy. >> jennifer granholm looks like she's still at the convention in charlotte. of course, he's a big bird fan. may look like he and granholm are on the same page, but newt still wants to do away with government support for pbs and other public programming. up next, debate strategy. we now know more about what president obama was trying to do in his lackluster debate wednesday night. that will be helpful to know. and one thing democrats and republicans can be sure of, it won't happen again. well, we can hope. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics. gave it greater horsepower and best in class 38 mpg highway... advanced headlights... and zero gravity seats? yeah, that would be cool. ♪ introducing the completely reimagined nissan altima. it's our most innovative altima ever. nissan. innovation that excites. ♪ [ male announcer ] how do you make 70,000 trades a second... ♪ reach one customer at a time?

dozens of flights were canceled due to repair. now back to "hardball." back to "hardball." finally we're getting some insight into the strategy each candidate and campaign brought to wednesday night's debate. and while it may not blunt the pain certainly that supporters still feel after the president's lackluster performance, at least david axelrod has an explanation of sorts. here is a clip from a post-debate conference call he did yesterday. here is axelrod, the president's communications expert, explaining his behavior wednesday night. let's listen. >> he made a choice last night to answer the questions that were asked and to talk to the american people about what we need to do to move forward and not to get into serial fact checking with governor romney, which can be been exhausting,
7:40 pm
never-ending pursuit, but obviously moving forward, you know, we're going to take a hard look at this. >> you have to say something, i guess. joining me is democrat strategist steve mcmahon and republican strategist mark mckinnon. i'm going to start with you, mark, because i was impressed with mr. romney's way of presenting himself. he was like an actor who came on playing a bigger role than he normally does, like a big guy, "master and commander" russell crowe. he grew when he came on stage, and he stayed in character as if he wanted to do a couple more hours of it. so prepping him -- and i hadn't seen that mitt romney before. that guy has not been out there. what happened with him? how did he get so ready for that thing? >> i think he and the campaign totally understood what the stakes were, and they prepared and they prepared a lot. i have watched mitt romney over the years, and he has steadily improved, and, you know, people like stuart stevens and beth myers took a lot of heat over
7:41 pm
the last couple months about the campaign, but those -- i have worked with stuart before in many campaigns, and he's a debate preparation fanatic, and they understood that this would be an opportunity to shift the gears, to reframe the race, and one guy showed up and one guy prepared, and it showed. it really did. you know, a lot of people were saying it's the best since reagan. reagan had some natural gifts and was an affable guy. i think in terms of preparation, this may be one of the best presidential debate performances ever. >> i agree. in a totally amoral, apolitical sense, i agree with you. steve, what do you think happened to obama? >> i think he prepared and showed up for a news conference, not a debate. he answered the questions -- >> but there weren't any questions. lehrer didn't see it as his role -- >> we can talk about lehrer separately. i think what they were trying to accomplish is their view was the mitt romney campaign wasn't going very well, mitt romney wasn't doing a particularly good job, and they would play
7:42 pm
rope-a-dope and sort of run out the clock on the campaign. >> why didn't he come -- let's start with something that's not technical or tricky. usually when you know you're going to have an hour and a half before the american people, i can't imagine that, and you say you get 45 minutes of that hour and a half, you get about half the time, he got a little more than half, you have something to say. he didn't talk about the auto industry, he didn't talk about lilly ledbetter, he didn't talk about equal pay, didn't talk about the things he cared about. >> and he didn't talk about all the things the campaign has spent so much time and energy prosecuting over the past several months. he didn't talk about bain, how mitt romney made his money, didn't talk about the middle class as much in that context as i expected. he didn't talk about the 47%. i know when you're the president you want to be careful not to swing down, but -- >> how about just saying why you're president, why you wanted to be president, why you made the decisions you made, why you didn't want to have 40 million people sitting in the emergency room.
7:43 pm
>> i think he tried to do that, but i don't think he did it as well as he would have liked, and certainly they're going to take a new approach next time. mitt romney just came to play. mark is right. >> an interesting thing, mark, back to that again, romney seemed to know it was free form. it was like a city basketball game. you know, winners get the ball. every time you make a good shot. it's not like in the nba where you have to turn the ball over. he knew if he kept shooting, he could keep hitting and control the ball, and the ref in this case, lehrer, tried to get the ball back and he would say, no, you can't have it, i want it. lehrer would say okay. how did he know it was going to be that free an opportunity to just hog the ball? >> he was like a guy in the fourth quarter that wants the ball. he wants to play, and he wants to score. >> he got it.
7:44 pm
>> and i think that was from, again, watching those primary debates. you just saw over time how increasingly he would do that and he'd dominate and interject and he learned how to do that. that was a learned skill. he got his chops together and really learned how to do it and learned how to execute. >> both these guys know what they faced. obama knows he had a bad night. romney knows obama is coming in next time with a different approach. so that makes it a separate challenge and an additional challenge for obama. the other guy knows what he's going to do, he's going to be more aggressive. what does romney do next time to meet a more aggressive obama? mark? >> one thing, chris, i think that the obama campaign has kind of telegraphed their strategy by calling him the serial evader. i think they've already said that's going to be a strategy. >> is that healthy, to say you're going to prosecute or come in as a prosecutor? >> i think the romney campaign has a pretty good radar screen, and they have picked that up. i think they will have romney well-prepared for that. i also think it's going to be interesting with the town hall format because this is a very different kind of environment, and, you know, i think this is where romney is going to have to connect and feel people's pain, and so that's naturally something that obama does well. we'll see how well romney adapts to that environment. >> i'm hoping candy crowley gets more in there. she's much more political than jim lehrer. she'll say follow up on that, answer it. >> i think she will. she will be aware of all the critique of jim lehrer that's gone on. i think mark raises a very, very good point, as he so often does. the format for the next debate is a format that favors somebody who is more comfortable with people and who is a little more easy. >> can you fake it? >> well, you know, i think this
7:45 pm
is a form that -- >> can you fake it? >> i think you can fake it a little bit but not very much. i'm not sure mitt romney is going to be able to fake it. i think the president that we saw in denver the day after the debate is the president that we're likely to see in the town hall meeting coming up next time, and you're going to see joe biden unleashed, i think, in the next debate. >> that's going to be fun. >> maybe the most interesting of all of them. >> tout that one this week. biden is twice his age. he's a lot more friendly. he's almost like a big, you know, a big st. bernard. he slobbers all over you, but he's very personable, and he's very hard to dislike. the other guy is a little colder version of humanity. >> this could be one of the best debates of the season and maybe one of the best debates across
7:46 pm
the board. this is a classic -- a very different type of candidate. one is very affable, and one is very, you know, a nerdy sort of guy. i think it's going to be fascinating to watch this one, and i think it's going to be important, maybe more important than past vice presidential debates have been in the sense that if ryan does well, i think it's really going to substantially help that momentum that romney has established last week and will be very important, and so the stakes are very high on this one. >> you know what? that's another great point. after the 2004 debate when it looked like george bush hadn't had a very good evening, dick cheney actually stopped the momentum that the kerry campaign had in the vice presidential debate. and mark will remember that better than anybody. it's joe biden's job here to go in there and basically change the story line and win that debate, and i think joe biden actually is a much better debater than most people understand. >> well, we'll see.

With years of experience in professional interior designer, I can tell you that wallpapers have been re-invented to adapt to the modern day society. I design environments that rely heavily on the functional space with the internal layout, with a clever use of lighting and simplistic finishes to create the final masterpiece. These days, I can call myself a wallpaper ideas guru! With such a huge collection available and some absolutely incredible designs, I love to include them in many interior designs projects. We use a range of wallpaper designs such as 'Cole & Son', ' Beauchamp Interiors', 'De Gournay' to name a few. Have a look at some samples … The history of Cole & Son Cole & Son was founded in 1875 by John Perry, son of a Cambridgeshire merchant. In those days the company was situated in Islington, north London, an area famous for the 190 hand block printing companies working there in the 18th and 19th centuries. Throughout the 19th century Cole & Son printed for all the large well-known companies of the time including Jeffrey & Co, Sanderson and Shand Kydd. In addition to high quality block printing, the company was renowned for supplying beautiful stripes and jaspes. In the early days the company built machines that allowed the re-introduction of the process of pan coating and also revived the process of Flocking, invented in Holland in 1680, imitating cut velvet. In 1941 the company was bought by A P Cole, proprietor of the company Cole & Son (Wallpapers) Ltd, with showrooms and offices at Mortimer Street in Central London. The Cole & Son block archive includes designs produced by J C Crace & Son to furnish many stately homes, palaces, castles and theatres throughout Britain and overseas, including the wallpaper designs of A W Pugin for the Palace of Westminster. The amalgamation of the two businesses in 1941 meant that Cole & Son became the custodians of the most significant collection of wooden printing blocks in Britain. In 1949, Cole's Design Director created one of the first screen print studios in Europe in response to the revolutionary new Contemporary design movement which gave birth to the wild wallpaper designs of the 1950s and 1960s. Today, the Cole & Son archive consists of approximately 1,800 block print designs, 350 screen print designs and a huge quantity of original drawings and wallpapers, representing all the styles from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. Amongst these are some of the most important historic wallpaper designs in the world. Cole & Son has provided wallpapers for many historic houses including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. Our magnificent archive is on occasion the source of new designs within our collections. Designs are carefully selected, adapted and coloured by our designers and printed by craftsmen to produce wallpapers faithful to the character of the original document, yet contemporary in feel. Cole & Son continues to produce innovative and beautiful designs; our current collections reflect our long and distinguished history as well as our continuing passion for new and exciting wallpapers.

Oral Presentation
Unveiling the MRI through ionisation fraction of protoplanetary disks using ionisation tracers
Presenter: Eiji Akiyama (NAOJ)
The diversity of planetary systems depends on the physical and chemical structure of their formation sites, protoplanetary disks. It is generally accepted that the disk physical structure depends upon the degree of turbulent viscosity present in the disk. Turbulence transports angular momentum (and mass) and influences gas dispersion and dust coagulation. The magneto-rotational instability (MRI) has been suggested as the most promising source of turbulence. MHD simulations suggest that the MRI becomes active where the ionization fraction is higher than approximately 10^-13. In the disk molecular layer and midplane, HCO+ is expected to be the dominant cation and thus a robust tracer of the ionisation fraction. We have observed the J=1-0 transition of HCO+ and H13CO+ in three Herbig Ae stars with the Nobeyama 45m telescope to constrain the ionization fraction in the dense, cold regions of the disk, where UV photons cannot penetrate. We aim to determine whether the MRI is a viable mechanism for generating the required turbulence for efficient angular momentum transport and identify MRI active regions from the observational results.

FORGET THE 10 COMMANDMENTS The GOP Ignores Them Everyday
The Supreme Court ruled against P2P file sharing. Those of us who use this stuff, a moment to reflect on the fragility of the web. But also the Supreme Court ruled on the 10 Commandment hoopola run by the right wing Christians.
They lost.
From the Associated Press:
In a narrowly drawn ruling, the Supreme Court struck down Ten Commandments displays in courthouses Monday, holding that two exhibits in Kentucky crossed the line between separation of church and state because they promoted a religious message.Can't right wing jerks get their stories straight? They eke out the tiniest wins on the barest of majorities, if that, if they fail, the tyranny of the barest majority on the Supreme Court stops the vote counting so they could install Bush, they then crow that they are in the majority so we have to endure whatever bozo bumbling bashing they do and when once in a blue moon we get a ruling that is sensible, they complain about "dictatorship....of the majority."
The 5-4 decision, first of two seeking to mediate the bitter culture war over religion's place in public life, took a case-by-case approach to this vexing issue. In the decision, the court declined to prohibit all displays in court buildings or on government property.
In a stinging dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia worried publicly about "the dictatorship of a shifting Supreme Court majority."
Well, sorry to tip your canoe and your tailor, too, buddy. If you and your right wing ilk hate us so much, move. Like move to Iraq and create minority rights there! Heh. Prove your manhood and go!
I was furious in the sixties when we were told to love America or leave it. I always would say, "Well, the troops love America, right?" and they would agree. "So shouldn't they be in America if they love it?" This is when they would try to run off to yell at some other hippie chick.
"The touchstone for our analysis is the principle that the First Amendment mandates government neutrality between religion and religion, and between religion and nonreligion," Justice David H. Souter wrote for the majority.Now these creepy people who really hate the 10 Commandments, look at how they live their miserable, lost lives!---are trying to make our courthouses into museums of legal history. Well, OK with me! The cuniform slab of Hammurabi should sit square in the middle! Not to mention the Magna Carta and the Constitution itself. The "separation of church and state" could be engraved over the Judge's chair! After all, the Constitution trumps all these religious/historical laws.
"When the government acts with the ostensible and predominant purpose of advancing religion, it violates that central Establishment clause value of official religious neutrality," he said.
Souter was joined in his opinion by other members of the liberal bloc — Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer, as well as Reagan appointee Sandra Day O'Connor, who provided the swing vote.
In his dissent, Scalia argued that Ten Commandments displays are a legitimate tribute to the nation's religious and legal history.
Government officials may have had a religious purpose when they originally posted the Ten Commandments display by itself in 1999. But their efforts to dilute the religious message since then by hanging other historical documents in the courthouses made it constitutionally adequate, Scalia said.
In his dissent, Scalia blasted the majority for ignoring the rule of law to push their own personal policy preferences.
The Constitution is the Law of the Land, after all.
Ten Commandments displays are supported by a majority of Americans, according to an AP-Ipsos poll. The poll taken in late February found that 76 percent support it and 23 percent oppose it.76% of all Americans break one or many of these commandments regularily. Why they want to be reminded of their renegade life choices puzzles me. Perhaps it is because they feel God will forgive them if they break these rules if they can recite them to Him on Judgement Day? Geeze. I know if you go before a judge and claim ignorance, they still put you in jail. If you go and claim you know full well what the laws are and deliberately broke them!
Well, imagine a big book flying straight at you!
Ignorance is bliss in this case.

Though I've found myself doing it more than a few times I do realize that putting the Wooden Shjips under the "Psychedelic" tarp is painting with a pretty wide brush. What do people think when they hear that term? I'm sure everyone has a different impression of what the word means if were talking the category in it's classic sense. On the other side of the coin there's the head music that came out years after the calico walls fell down. Y'know, like Hawkwind's disturbing cocktail of speedfreak ring modulations & LSD wah-wah squawks and the distorto-deconstruction sounds of Chrome. Neil Young and Crazy Horse's rootsy travels into the abyss. The whimsy into paranoia into space travel noodlings of Pink Floyd. The drone building to transcendence of Spacemen 3 and Flying Saucer Attack...Hell, even Kraftwerk (I dunno if they're considered krautrock or in a world only that fits only them) and Tangerine Dream (though only "the first few albums" from either of course) to an extent with some of the first trippers I ever associated with. Listening to the Wooden Shjips is like standing in the middle while all the things above circle around you.
"We Ask You To Ride" opens the album up with the band inviting you to take their trip. A hypnotic austere bass and drum pattern lays down the foundation for a part 60's arty horror flick/part 4 a.m. dancing under the streetlights on microdots organ part to swell giving way to laid back vocals awashed in rubbery echo and an electrical storm of gain knob cranked guitar scuzz. It's is followed by "Losing Time" and "Lucy's Ride." The former a blurred groove of basement fuzz blues minimalism that's would be great for driving in an at dusk rainstorm and the latter is another cruise this time through a forest of trees in another dimension in search of a place for a latenight swim.
Side two are two long pieces. "Blue Sky Bends" boils in a slow tension walking tempo all the way through while the guitar alternates between a cold sweat and hot flashes. "Shine Like Suns" vibrates like it's stayed up for 48 hours but it's the first sunrise it's watched in ages.

California, with its abundant natural resources, has a long history of support for renewable energy. These efforts, however, have raised concerns in some Mojave Desert rural communities that fear such development initiatives would result in alteration of the landscape and would significantly impact their lifestyle. This study was carried out to provide rural residents with mapping visualizations that would help alleviate their concerns.
This project built a prototype tool, provided a web mapping application, and provided a three dimensional simulation. The prototype tool was developed with Esri ArcGIS software to allow the end user to adjust the relative importance of raster datasets in a suitability analysis of Utility Photovoltaic Stations. Map products derived from the tool were uploaded to ArcGIS Online to be used in a comparative analysis by means of a web mapping application. In addition, a three dimensional rendering of a utility photovoltaic station was generated to visualize how a target area may look if it were to be developed. This solution will provide rural community stakeholders with effective visualizations to determine how such efforts will affect the Mojave Desert landscape.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this or if anyone even cares. If this is the wrong place for this feel free to move. Here I go. If you don't know what O.C means. It mean Original Charters. There will be some canon people. Let me worry about them. If you want to play more then one you can. Only if you asks me and I think you can handle it. If I say no asks me again later one. Like a week. If you want to play a canon person you can. Only if you already have an active O.C. Again asks me. If I say no for you to be a canon you can't asks me again unless it's for a different charter. No paring your O.C with a canon with out talking to me about it first okay. Or the person playing that charter if there is one. If you have any question feel free to PM me.
Here is a little forum I want you to fill out to start. You can either PM me this or post it here. Your choice.
Charter name:
Where they are from: (Like Konoha,Suna whatever)
Looks: (Describe or post a pic)
Bio: (Tell a little about your charter and there background)
Do they use any weapon if so what:
Do they have any bloodline limits: (Like Hinata's Bakugan)
Do they know any canon people and how: (Make it good or I won't allow it, don't say they meet one tell me how they meet)
Are they in a clan: (If your O.C is from a place with a clan you can be a member of that clan.)
What Jutsu do they use:
That's it.
To make sure you have read all of this I want you to place the words (Let's do this) somewhere on your post/PM. Try not to post such big post ok. Some people don't have time to read it all and can get lost/behind everyone. Keep it short and simple all right.

Sri Lankan drought worsens
20,000 farmers, 16,000 acres of rice affected
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka | August 7, 2012
Drought conditions in Sri Lanka have hit more than 20,000 farmers and destroyed 16,000 acres of rice fields in the Indian Ocean island nation, officials said.
The government has allocated 3.7 billion rupees, or $28 million, to provide relief to those affected, but Disaster Management Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said additional allocations would be needed as drought conditions are engulfing more areas in the affected north-central and northwestern provinces, Colombo Page reported.
Current plans call for providing farmers in the five drought-affected districts chemical fertilizer and seeds free of cost for the next sowing season in addition giving financial help to each farmer family.
Separately, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa instructed authorities to take immediate steps to prevent deforestation of areas sustaining natural water bodies and build reservoirs for agriculture in the hill country, Colombo Page reported. He asked them to take stern action against those destroying resources through timber smuggling or involved in animal poaching.
Sri Lanka recently received a $ 64.9 million loan from the Export-Import Bank of the United States to finance construction of three water supply systems.

Boehringer in end 2012 announced the approval in 15 European countries with the mutual recognition procedure, the extent of window treatment with alteplase, rt-PA in cases of acute ischemic stroke within 4 hours of symptom onset and after have ruled out the diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage. The completion of the regulatory process has been reported by Germany, the Reference Member State, and will allow the implementation of this approval also to the European Union member states that adhere to the mutual recognition procedure. Alteplase is indicated for the fibrinolytic treatment of acute ischemic stroke, or for the dissolution of the clot that has blocked artery, helping to restore the normal blood flow, preventing or limiting damage to ischemic brain tissue. To achieve the greatest possible benefits, treatment should be initiated as early as possible after symptom onset. Alteplase was approved in 1987 for various indications in many countries, and since 1996 for the treatment of ischemic stroke with administration within three hours of the onset of symptoms. The combined analysis of the results of different studies, with placebo control group, showed that treatment with rt-PA within 180 minutes after the onset of ischemic symptoms allows more likely to residuare 30% in less than disability arising from ischemic damage compared to untreated patients or little or no disability after three months of the event compared to patients who did not receive thrombolytic therapy. An official statement by the Italian regulatory agency is likely to be soon released in early 2013. For many Italian hospitals until the official statement of the agency the use of alteplase will not be considered fully appropriate
Microbubbles filled with xenon or other inhert gases as a drug delivery means in acute stroke are periodically reported in medical journals (circulation 2010) or newspapers as the latest frontier. This week the activities of the University College in London and Cincinnati/Houston University raised the attention of scientific journalists see at New Scientist and Daily Mail. But don't panic this in US was just another experimental animal model. As usual with bubbles also Italians are there.
