The Washington Post editorial board calls on the Senate to confirm Dawn Johnsen as head of the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel. The editorial is almost entirely content free. The Post complains about some of those who headed OLC during the Bush administration, and it labels the objections to Johnsen (which centrist Arlen Specter found persuasive) "petty politics." But the only argument the Post advances is that Johnsen showed she can put aside her leftist ideology when she worked in the Clinton Justice Department.
The Post relies here on instances supplied by Douglas Kmiec in which Johnsen "observed the law even though it was at odds with her personal beliefs."
The Post wisely declines to describe Kmiec's two examples. In fact, they could hardly be less compelling. In one, Johnsen adhered to a non-waivable statute of limitations in a discrimination case despite the fact that she was "personally appalled by racial discrimination in certain federal loan programs." In the other, she did not "disregard a congressionally specified oath requirement" despite being "sympathetic to immigrants seeking naturalized status."
The Post may be impressed that, as a lawyer representing the United States, Johnsen did not ignore the unambiguous language of the United States Code. But as OLC chief, Johnsen will not be dealing with these kinds of no-brainers. The real question is whether Johnsen will put her left-wing policy preferences to one side in cases where the applicable provisions are not air-tight.
As I have argued in prior posts, her pre-nomination statements strongly suggest that she will not. Neither Johnsen, Kmiec, nor the Washington Post has provided any reason to believe that she will.

The new French law on the "Fight against infringement" now offers the opportunity to take action against imminent infringement. Pauline Debre, Bird & Bird, discusses the first case in which a French judge has ordered a preliminary measure in a case of imminent infringement.
"On October 20, 2009, the Lyon Court of Appeal upheld a decision of the President of the Lyon First Instance Court, and became the first jurisdiction in France to apply one of the new provisions of Law n°2007-1544 of 29 October 2007 on the "Fight against Infringement".
This provision (new article L.615-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code) gives the patentee the possibility of requesting that the judge in charge of summary proceedings order preliminary measures to prevent an imminent infringement if it is likely that the patentee's rights are about to be infringed. Previously the Court could only forbid the continuation of infringing acts.
In this case, two pharmaceutical companies, MUNDIPHARMA GmbH, the owner of a patent covering a controlled release formulation of Tramadol (an analgesic), and GRUNENTHAL, the exclusive licensee of the patent, asked the judge of the summary proceedings to order preliminary measures against Mylan.

Implementing Public School Choice and Supplemental Educational Services (SES)
These sections offer ideas for district implementation of public school choice and SES apart from parent notification and outreach activities and responsibilities. As SES involves a greater number of stakeholders and presents a wider variety of issues, we give more attention to implementing SES, including a separate section with ideas for building relationships among districts, schools, and SES providers.
There are many aspects of district implementation of public school choice and SES, and numerous strategies that districts have pursued to improve or enhance implementation with respect to a particular topic. As with the preceding sections, the following sections do not purport to cover these topics comprehensively or to provide definitive resolutions of issues that may exist. Rather, they are intended to provide districts with selected useful suggestions for implementation based, in part, on the practices of their peers. In pursuing any of the ideas discussed below, a district should be mindful of its particular characteristics and any state or local policies that may apply.

Education, training opportunities expected to abound at center
Former Wal-Mart building in Lexington will house offices, classrooms, lab and industrial space, more.
The former Wal-Mart building in Lexington will soon bustle with another kind of energy.
College, high school, preschool and technical training classes are planned in the 64,000 square-foot structure nestled along Plum Creek Parkway in Lexington. Joint space for computer and industrial labs, conference rooms and more is also in the blueprint.
Called "The Dawson County Opportunity Center," Jen Wolf describes the venture as an opportunity to increase skilled labor in Dawson County.
"It opens up the doors for more skilled labor with the space to be able to design training specific for our business and industry in the county," said Wolf, director of Dawson Area Development (DAD) which is partnering with the City of Lexington and others in planning the center. "We now have all the players and the space."
The City of Lexington owns the building.
Wolf said a $512,200 neighborhood stabilization grant the agency recently received from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development will help renovate 9,354 square feet of joint space for such things as computer and industrial labs, rooms for heavy equipment and conference rooms for teleconferencing.
Renovation of office and other space will be funded by the City of Lexington and other entities involved in the project.
Lease arrangements will be worked out with the City of Lexington, she said.
So far, Lexington Public Schools will have room for a preschool and an alternative education program while Central Community College will relocate in the center from a downtown location and offer courses.
A workforce development office, now located across the street from Lexington High School, will move into the center as well as a satellite office for DAD to manage its county career Web site.
In addition, the Lexington Chamber of Commerce will move its office there.
Wolf said they are also working with the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis, the University of Nebraska at Kearney, Tyson Fresh Meats, the Dawson County Sheriff's Office and more businesses and services to have offerings in the center.
"We didn't want to be a college campus but wanted a place where people knew they could register for a job or hire people or do training," Wolf explained. "It will be a one-stop shop."
Another exciting part of the opportunity center, she said, will be incubator space for a start-up business or other type of entrepreneurial venture.
"Maybe it's a business that needs to wait for a patent," she said.
Wolf said the importance of entrepreneurial space came about from focus meetings with different groups while planning the opportunity center.
In addition to entrepreneurs, she said educators, health-care providers, agricultural producers and workforce development people met to discuss what they would like to see included in the opportunity center.
Special needs such as sinks for nursing classes or specific power requirements for manufacturing classes have also been considered.
"It's a whole list and how they will all mesh together," Wolf said. "And knowing everyone's needs."
For example, she pointed to Tyson Fresh Meats in Lexington.
With up to 2,700 employees, Wolf said the packing plant operates like a small town and needs skilled labor like plumbers, electricians and nurses.
"They can train people to work on the floor but it's hard to find other people for skilled jobs," she explained.
Another aspect of the center is the potential for use of joint space.
Wolf said the county has a high percentage of manufacturing jobs with similar and different needs—the latter which involves on-the-job training at the specific business.
However similar needs, such as how to be safe around heavy equipment, can be taught at the center.
Spacial rooms could also be used to accommodate large groups like teachers throughout the county who might gather for a joint in-service.
Although community colleges have been around for a long time, Wolf described the opportunity center as unique and a challenge to create.
"We send so many people away to college who don't come back," she said. "People can take college classes at the opportunity center and don't have to go away.
"Maybe all they need is a trade or certificate or introduction classes for job training."
Bids for the renovation of space for Lexington Public Schools will be received Sept. 4, Wolf said.
Officials hope to start remodeling joint space with help from grant money in February or March of 2010 with completion six months later.
Although most of the work will be inside—on a prioritized basis because of cost—she said they plan to change the outside appearance of the building.
"It's been real exciting working with people on a county-wide basis," Wolf said. "It's not a Lex project because it will benefit the whole county."

To My People (English Translation) - A short story I wrote - Feedback please
To My People (English Translation)
Opportunities are given to everyone. Not all opportunities are the same;
some are large and some are minute, but they do have one thing in common. They
all have the power to drastically change the course of someone's life, and in
the rarest of occasions, all life as we know it. When destiny and luck play
together, sometimes an individual is the fortunate recipient of the greatest
opportunity ever known.
I've always been fascinated with space travel. I think most children are,
but it carried over to my adult life, and my parents soon noticed that they
couldn't quell my curiosity with simple books and stories and superficial
information. I managed to trace one of my ancestors to the first moon landing.
He was actually involved with the mission and worked in the control room. I am
blessed to have wonderful parents, and with their help and money, I was able to
enter the Space Exploration University. As all of you know, this isn't an easy
task for anyone, but I graduated at the top of my class with highest honors.
SEU named me as the number one new prospect for future explorations, and as
time passed, I became a seasoned space explorer. I've seen sights that only a
handful of others can say they've seen.
It was at this time that I was approached by my commanding officer. He
seemed very aloof and vague and escorted me into the debriefing chamber. To my
surprise, there was a government official sitting in the room (anyone can
recognize their garb). I felt fear and anxiousness as my commanding officer
told me to sit. There were no pleasantries; there was no mistake as to what
this was. I was being questioned and examined. I've heard about these. I was
being evaluated. Why? To be erased. To be forgotten. If I was what they wanted,
my identity – my past, present, and future were going to be annihilated into
It's hard to process and actually articulate the emotions that are involved
in a situation like this. You see, I'm not just going to be passed off as
"dead". Try to grasp the term "erased". I was being removed from the lives of
my friends and family. If I agreed to this process, they would wipe any memory
of me away from those closest to me. The process is physically harmless, but
emotionally, this was a huge burden for me to carry.
I sat and thought for awhile; my mind racing. I know that my parents wanted
me to fulfill my dreams even if that meant that they weren't around to see, or
in this case, even know they had a child. I've come this far, and I wasn't
going to let anything stand in my way. My father told me when I was very young
that I should never stop even when I've reached my goal. His advice and my
parent's love reinforced my decision to follow through with the plan.
And so it happened. I was erased. I began my rigorous training for a mission
I didn't have any information on. For countless days and nights I trained. And
trained. And trained. I remember when I got my first briefing on my mission. We
were led into a room and told to sit down. There were four of us – me, Jark,
Mioree, and Daycund. There were five or so government officials and SEU
officers in the room with us at that time. We were all hungry for any small
morsel of knowledge they were willing to give us as to what we were doing. A
rigid individual began to address us: he told us that we were being trained to
pilot the farthest manned mission ever considered. With the new advances in
technology and recent advent of the fused ion propulsion engine (FIPE) we could
reach new destinations that were previously far beyond our grasps. We were
going to rendezvous with a planet sized asteroid on the outskirts of our
asteroid belt. We were then briefed on the logistics and technicalities of the
mission, but then, they hit us with something huge.
During the first moon landing; many, many ages ago, we found something that
was kept secret. To be honest, when they told me what they found, the first
thing I felt was disappointment and then fear. There are those questions that
live on for ages. Generation after generation people seek to find the answer to
these seemingly unanswerable questions. The fanatics and crazies are given
credence because no one can actually prove them wrong; well, no more than they
can actually prove them right. It's an air of mystery – a contentment of not
knowing that makes it so fantastic. However, when the question is answered, and
the crazies are no longer crazy, and you realize that fantasy, that wild thing
conjured in your mind is actually true, the enigma is replaced with chilling
fear. It was now very real.
The rigid individual that was speaking looked at us intently and said,
"There is no reason to pretend anymore. No more vagueness. No more mystery. All
your life you've never known the answer. Now you will."
An image flashed on the screen that was wholly unidentifiable. I don't know
how to describe the shape except that it had corners. It seemed to be a metal
of some sort, and it had grooves, switches, buttons, and terrifying symbols
written all over it.
"I'm here to tell all four of you. We're not alone."
I somehow half expected him to say something like this. But even then, it
still made all of us gasp. He continued to explain that aliens had been living
on our moon for ages; observing, experimenting, abducting, and bestowing. Their
plan was unclear, and we could not tell if they were benevolent or violent. The
aliens had built a base camp on the far side of the moon, and operated from
there while continually observing us in our own habitat. When we gained the
ability to travel to our moon, they packed their belongings and left; leaving
only the skeleton of their camp and this… this thing. This transmitter. It took
several return trips to successfully deconstruct and bring the skeletal camp
back home to be studied.
During this time, the transmitter continually spewed this alien tongue. They
played samples of broadcasts for us. It was a horrifying language that I cannot
mimic verbally let alone textually. In the beginning of the discovery, there
was a bombardment of streaming alien voices; however, as time marched on, the
voices became less and less until they were finally silenced.
He continued, "We were left to wonder. To wonder if these aliens would ever
return. And, if they did, would they want their belongings? Not too long ago,
we observed a crash on a planet size asteroid on the edge of the asteroid belt.
At first we assumed it was a smaller asteroid colliding with the larger one.
But then… then we started to hear something. The transmitter began to talk
again. The aliens had returned."
I became a little dizzy at the thought and I continued to listen. "The hard
part of this is trying to understand why they returned. Deductive reasoning
would say to collect their transmitter, but then, why would they leave it for
us to find? Also, what happened on that ship? What caused it to crash? These
are questions that you will be answering. The transmitter is receiving the same
loop from the crashed ship. It seems to be some sort of distress signal, and
because there have been no changes and no answer for quite a long time, it is
safe to assume that all occupants were killed in the crash."
"Yeah right." I thought to myself. If learned anything from reading and
watching alien programs and books over the years, it was that the alien was
NEVER dead. It only seems that way. But then again, I thought, this isn't fantasy…
I had to reevaluate my thought and remind myself that all of this was real, and
that aliens would probably be subject to the same forces that we are; thus,
being destroyed in an interplanetary crash.
The rigid individual gave us a little time to soak up the information he had
just poured on us, and then our officers began to outline our mission. The
mission was going to be very difficult and dangerous. Nothing like this had
ever been attempted before.
As our training commenced, time again went forward, but even this wasn't a
fraction of what we would be experiencing during our trip. Fortunately, to us,
the actual trip was going to only be a flash; well, hypothetically, anyway. A
new system of travel had been tested, and proven to be 75 percent effective.
During travel, Jark, Mioree, Daycund, and I would be in a state of suspended
animation (SA). The ship's on board computer would navigate and control the
life support systems until close to the arrival time to the asteroid. The
thought was unnerving, but the reward of "knowing" far surpassed what might
And so, our voyage began. We, of course, controlled lift off and the passing
out of our atmosphere. In fact, we even did a flyby of the moon. After we
escaped its gravity, we set the computer's autopilot to our destination, and
retreated to our life support pods to be placed into suspended animation.
Like most unprecedented things, it's quite difficult to explain SA. It's not
like sleep. I simply… was. I was awake, and then, I was awake again. I remember
climbing into the pod and activating the life support systems, and then, I
remember deactivating them and leaving the pod. It's rather strange to have no
recollection of my past events, but, with all of the strangeness that had
recently filled my life, it was becoming normal.
One by one, we removed ourselves from the pods. After a period of refreshing
ourselves, we congregated in the control bay to analyze our data and be briefed
on our current situation. To my surprise (maybe I've watched too many alien
programs); everything was going exactly as planned. The mission could not be
going more perfectly. I guess, slowly, I was starting to accept the fact that
this was life, and that life is never as exciting as fantasy even if you're
living within the pages of fantasy.
Soon, we were able to see the asteroid in plain view. There really wasn't
much to see. It was barren and dull in color with impact marks peppered all
along its surface. Home Base let us know of the time of our landing, and soon,
we would be seeing what no one else has ever seen – an actual alien spacecraft.
We began our descent, and soon we found ourselves on the surface of the
asteroid and face to face with it. The spacecraft was not as large as I
expected, and, interestingly, not as alien. It seemed rather reminiscent of our
own spacecrafts; however, just more advanced. It had wings and fins which
suggested it came from a planet with an atmosphere. The vessel was in pretty
bad shape, but the hull's integrity seemed to have held together despite the
violent crash. Pieces of the ship littered the surface for some distance, while
charred remains stuck out from the bedrock.
A moment I will never forget is when we left our rover and approached the
alien craft's airlock. We weaved our way past mangled remains of this
different, vastly different metal and settled under a canopy of flashing lights
and hissing electrical wires.
There was the airlock. And, there was the control panel. We look at each
other for a moment, and Daycund said, "Ummm, how do we get in?"
We stared blankly at each other from our space environment suits and I said,
"I have no idea."
We huddled more closely to the control panel, and under the blinking light I
saw a button. Above it, alien symbols were written across, and without thinking,
without hesitating, I pushed it. A terrible screech came from the monitor
screen and more alien symbols appeared across it. Below the symbols, there were
two shapes. Inside the first shape there were simply three alien symbols. It
was then I realized that these alien symbols were rather primordial. Simple,
yet effective. It's strange that you assume a master race of aliens would have
a complicated form of communication; however, when you think about it,
simplicity – clarity is a wonderful form of perfection.
The first symbol was a long line that branched another line from its side,
the second symbol, similarly, were four lines put together with three of them
branching on one side, and the third symbol was a strange elongated line with
curves. Below these symbols was the second shape with two symbols inside it.
The first symbol was three lines standing up and placed together and the last
symbol was the strangest of all. It seemed to be lines place together in an
infinite loop. Very odd.
Mioree looked at me and said, "All right, hot shot, what next?"
Looking at her, I said, "I have no idea. I guess I'll push the first one."
There was a collective "No" but it was too late. I had already touched the
screen where the first three symbols rested within that shape. There was a
hissing of pressure. The airlock door began to spin in the middle and it opened
very quickly. With continued haste and excitement we stepped into the airlock.
The door closed behind us and there was a hiss of pressure equalization as well
as an atmosphere dump.
When the door to the inside of the spacecraft opened there was a moment as
time stood still. I looked in disbelief at the multilevel corridors along with
walkways that lined the upper levels. There were terminals spread throughout
and pressed against the metallic rails and walls. The metal reflected an eerie
glow as the emergency lights continued to blink. Everything was silent. There
was only the quiet sound of death accompanied by a very low resonating hum.
Within our first few steps we noticed that our feet were sticking to the
floor and that our environmental space suit's exogel was beginning to melt. In
a moment of panic, no one could speak until Jark yelled, "Activate your hard
We all clumsily punched at our suit's control panel, and with a whir, the
shells surrounded our suits. Jark looked at us and said, "I don't know how long
that shell is going to protect us against this atmosphere. We need to hurry."
Daycund said, "What kind of atmosphere is this anyway? Mioree, can you get a
Mioree activated a sensor on her suit and fear washed over her face. She
said, "The air in here will kill us in seconds. It's highly noxious... and...
and... filled with eld."
"ELD?" We all said simultaneously.
"Yes. It seems eld is dissolved everywhere in this atmosphere. What kind of
monsters live with eld in their air?"
It did seem terrifying. Eld was discovered during the last Great War, and it
was used as the most effective weapon in our history. All of you know this, and
I'm fairly sure that everyone knows that anyone who is even found in possession
of eld will face a lifetime in prison. That's why it's so hard to grasp the
concept that not only do these aliens breath a highly noxious atmosphere but
they also have eld dissolved and floating around in it.
"We need to be extremely careful," said Jark.
As we ambled further down the craft, I began to contemplate why it was so
easy for us to actually get into the ship. "Hey, Mioree," I said.
"Why do you think it was so easy for us to get in? I mean, don't you think
an advanced alien race would have an undefinable security system? It's not like
we really had to do much to get in."
She hesitated at my question for a moment and said, "The only explanation I
can think of is that the crash damaged the security system, and that only the
basic functions were allowed to work."
"Yeah, maybe," I said. I wasn't satisfied with that answer, but I decided to
not push the issue. There were much more important dangers to worry about.
We came upon a door, and it had a weird protrusion coming from it. After
looking at it for a little while, we could not understand how it opened. We
looked for a terminal like the airlock, but we couldn't find anything. We
finally decided that the strange protrusion had to be the way it opened.
"So... who's touching it?" asked Daycund.
No one answered.
"Fine, I'll do it," said Jark.
Slowly Jark hovered above the protrusion and then grasped it. Not to my
surprise, nothing happened. He began to try and manipulate it but still
nothing. Daycund helped Jark, and after some very strange and strenuous
manipulations, there was a "click" and the door cracked open.
As usual, we hesitated before entering the room. Mioree screamed when she
saw it. There was a dead alien splattered across a counter. It was so mangled
and decomposed that we couldn't clearly make out where it began and where it
ended. We could clearly see its disgusting tendrils. In its core there seemed
to be several holes. From what I could make out, it appeared as this alien was
We had to look away because sight was so disgusting it was beginning to make
us weak.
"We need to leave here," I said.
Everyone agreed and we left the dead alien behind us. A narrow hallway lead
to another open room, and on the side in the wall there was a basin of some
sort. An odd spout hooked over it, and instantly we knew this is where the
aliens drank. Another wave of disappointment washed over me because I had
always assumed an advanced alien race would have transcended the need for food
and drink.
Daycund flipped the lever, and a mysterious clear liquid began to pour from
the spout.
"I need to get a reading," said Daycund.
Daycund deactivated his shell and readied the sensory readers.
"Daycund, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I yelled.
"You know I can't get a correct reading with the shell up. It'll only take a
Daycund waved the sensor under the flow of liquid. This was his last motion.
The liquid almost instantly melted his suit and dissolved half of Daycund's
side. The atmosphere rushed in to meet my friend, and Daycund slowly melted and
dripped through the craft's floor.
Mioree began to scream and Jark broke into a panic. It was an inexplicably
horrifying experience. Both of them rushed out of the room, and I quickly
followed them to try and calm them down. In my haste, I did not fail to
recognize the ten or so dead aliens that were littered through the craft.
I finally caught up with the other two, and we talked for a moment to calm
each other down. After another few moments, we gazed at our surroundings and
saw an alien dead on the floor with what seemed to be a weapon in his hands.
Beside him there was a pod that was emitting a dark blue glow. Slowly we crept
alongside it and gazed in. An alien was there. Details were difficult to make
out through the blackish-blue liquid, but it was definitely an alien.
"What happened here?" asked Jark.
I looked down at the dead alien. It too had several holes throughout its
core. Then, I understood. I turned to Mioree and Jark and said, "Mutiny.
Something happened. The aliens turned on each other and began killing one
another," I paused for a moment, "even the most advanced races can still
succumb to the most primitive instincts, it seems."
Like before, I was disappointed. How could a race so advanced, so beyond us,
still fall prey to this primitive behavior? Pondering this, I pick up the
alien's weapon. It was rather bulky yet light. It had a small display screen on
its back side that had more of those strange symbols. I looked at its
ammunition and it was a dark metal projectile. How it worked, I couldn't figure
out, but as I thought, alien weaponry wasn't concentrated light or heat rays.
Projectiles were far too effective at killing, and this advanced alien race had
perfected it.
I dropped the weapon when I realized that Mioree and Jark were over by the
radiating pod. Before I could tell them to step away, Jark had already pushed a
lever. The pod began to shake and hiss, and a few foreign lights began to
flash. In an instance, the pod opened and the liquid along with the alien
flowed to the floor.
"Is it dead?" asked Jark.
I whispered, "No."
The alien thrashed about and flung its tendrils toward Mioree and Jark. He
connected with both blows sending them crashing to the ground. In the instance
of it happening, I could not have reacted quickly enough to respond. The alien
rushed to the weapon and hit me with one of its tendrils. The blow was so
fierce that it send me flying and crashing into a terminal.
The alien began to fire its weapon at Mioree and Jark. With each shot a loud
explosion came blistering from the end of the weapon. The projectiles ripped
through Mioree and Jark's environmental suit's shells with ease tearing them
apart. The atmosphere rushed into their bodies and melted them almost
The alien turned toward me and began screeching. That familiar alien tongue.
That terrifying language was now directly in front of me. I began to try and
explain myself. I can't imagine how ignorant and stupid I must have sounded to
this great alien. It looked down at me with what I imagined were his light
sensory organs. I was silent. I was beyond terrified, and I could not speak.
It reached behind the terminal I was against with one of its tendrils and
pulled out a device. It strapped the device around what I could only assume was
its mouth and aural receptors and spoke, "Can you understand me?"
"Yes," I said in disbelief.
It slowly lowered its weapon. I finally got a clear look at the alien. It
was a strange and awesome sight. It had grotesque smooth, light skin covering
its core and four tendrils. It seemed to brace itself on its two larger lower
tendrils which were covered in some type of alien garb. The other two tendrils
came out from its side and at the end of each of those tendrils several smaller
tendrils protruded. On the top of the core there many tentacles and other odd
It began to speak again and it told me that they are benevolent and mean no
harm to our primal race. It apologized for what happened to my crew mates, but
it explained that it thought it was being attacked. He also proposed something
to me; an offer that no one could ever say no to. It is because of this offer
that I am writing this. This is an explanation to all my race. This is a
revelation to all my people. Aliens exist.
This alien has offered me safe passage to their homeworld. To study. To
learn. It radioed for help and a new alien ship will be arriving to take me
away soon. So, I write this as my last testament until I return.
I will learn how advance aliens conduct themselves socially, politically,
economically, and religiously. I will learn all of these advancements and
return to you in time revealing a way life that is vastly superior to ours that
is plagued with deceit, racism, hate, poverty, and tyranny. The aliens have
taken the liberty of sending my words to every major media source on our
planet. They are not going to remain a mystery.
So, my people, I bid you a farewell. I go to study these aliens which call
themselves "humans" on their homeworld of Earth.

The only thing I would of liked to have seen was the aliens being described in a bit more detail of their anatomy.
Other than that had me hooked all the way through.
I feel so much, and yet I feel nothing.
I am a rock, I am the sky, the birds and the trees and everything beyond.
I am the wind, in the fields in which I roar. I am the water, in which I drown.

Only recommendation is to allow delete of single balance board or choice other than jst/xh. Since my para board preference is also JST I can't see ever using the single board.
ProgressiveRC Comment: We include a free JST-XH and ThunderPower balance board to provide flexibility in connections. Often it is easier to use the balance board as it can be laid flat and is easier to see as you connect your battery, while also providing ThunderPower type connectors. We sincerely appreciate the recommendation and may look to offer some additional options in the future. (Posted on 4/28/2012)

I see in the newspaper that Sen Nelson is encouraging us all to "work together on a Nebraska solution for Health care." Thanks, Ben, but you gave us this mess.
He want's us to come together and figure out a Nebraska based insurance exchange program so that there's no "federal takeover." Thanks, again, but I'm not helping you out of the disaster that you created.
The "competition" between companies, which has been denied by states over the years because of state boundaries and state insurance commissions, has never seen the light of day.
Had we been able to choose between several insurance companies, like we can with car insurance, over the years, I doubt that there would be as many un- and under-insured folks as there are. The problem with the whole scenario is that these plans, offered by the exchanges are going to be useless in a matter of years anyway.
Under the new health care laws all insurance companies are being forced to cover nearly everything. These have to accept every pre-exiting disease. Now here's what you can't escape…the math can't be falsified. When you make insurance companies accept patients with all types of diseases, without letting them use traditional riders, and the like, you force them to collect enough in premiums to cover the expected increase in costs.
We can not escape the actuaries. It's simple mathematics. You increase exposure to the any insurance company and they will have to spread the costs across all owners of their policies. So what does this mean? Costs go up.
And that's what we've seen in the last three years. President Obama promised that your insurance rates would go down. They haven't; they have nearly increased exponentially. He said that you'd be able to keep you insurance…and you won't.
Why? Because the system is rigged to fail, leaving only the government as the only payor.
It doesn't take rocket scientist to see this. Insurance is costing more (because of the Obama mandates) and will effectively cause you and I not to be able to choose any private company's product to cover us, and our loved ones.
As prices for these plans go up and up, it will not be feasible for the average person to afford their own private insurance. As fewer and fewer people purchase a company's plans, they will not be profitable, and no longer offered. One by one, insurance plans will succumb to this effect leaving only the federal government as the only payor.
So will I participate with Ben in the insurance exchange conversation? No. It would be a magnificent waste of my time. What Nebraska, or any state for that matter, does to determine what it will do for an insurance exchange is moot. Because Obamacare is rigged to cause all insurance plans to fail. Again, leaving the federal government as the only payor in the system.
If you want to help, then I suggest you financially support Republican senate candidates across the country and Romney/Ryan. That's what I'm doing.
That is the only hope we have for a reasonable solution to healthcare. Because if Obamacare stands, not only will there be a one payor system, but the economy will stagnate and your coverage under Medicare will be severely curtailed. That's if you can find a doctor that will even accept Medicare.

The Buffalo Bills decided they were through with George Wilson, but the veteran safety shouldn't have trouble finding work.
CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora reported Wednesday that Wilson has visits set up with the Detroit Lions and Tennessee Titans after the Bills released the seven-year veteran on Monday. According to the Detroit Free Press, the Lions will host Wilson on Thursday.
Wilson turns 32 next month, but he started all 16 games for the Bills last season and remained effective against the run. His coverage skills slipped some, but he's arguably a better option than Amari Spievey in Detroit. The Titans, meanwhile, clearly aren't thrilled with Jordan Babineaux.
Wilson -- who graded out as the eighth-ranked safety in the NFL by ProFootballFocus last season -- is going to latch on somewhere because consistent safeties are hard to come by.
The Bills dropped Wilson to chop $2.9 million off the books. His release gives the front office some potential wiggle room to re-sign free safety Jairus Byrd. Wilson -- who can sign with a team immediately -- was no longer part of the Bills' plans, but he will land somewhere else.

|Biological specimens trapped in amber have given scientists a new look at India, millions of years ago. Writing this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers describe their analysis of over 100 ants, bees, spiders, and other organisms dating back over 50 million years to the Early Eocene. The organisms share evolutionary relationships with finds in Europe and Asia, which challenges the idea of early India as being an isolated land mass. The samples from the Cambay amber deposits, they say, are also the oldest evidence of tropical forests in Asia. We'll find out more.

Meet Leigh DeGray…
After graduating college with honors and landing the job of my dreams in New York City, I'm off to The Hamptons to spend the summer with my two best friends. My life seems perfect, right? It's not. The truth is, I have a secret that may make the future I'd planned so carefully completely fall apart. A hot summer romance is the absolute last thing I'm looking for… Until I meet a man who tempts me like no other and shows me a hot summer romance is exactly what I need.
Meet Nick Kenzy…
After two years of working my ass off as a Wall Street analyst, I'm out of a job, with no warning, no thank you, and no severance. Am I angry? You're damn right I am. So when I head to the Hamptons for the weekend to spend time with my granddad, I plan to regroup and relax before I return to the city to hit the job search hard. I don't need any distractions. Then I meet Leigh. Suddenly, a summer temptation makes me question everything I want for my future…

Just an FYI, those hoping to buy a new Mac with the Intel processors will be giving up your BW!!
Virtual PC does not work with these new processors AND Microsoft hasn't announced if they will support the new chips. The new Intel chips won't run Mac 9 Classic mode either.
Also FWIW, Microsoft Office for Mac will be updated, but it isn't available yet.
All that said, these new Macs are blazing fast! I've never seen a quicker boot time. But if you're drooling over a new iMac or Powerbook (or the upcoming G5 PowerMacs), you'll need to find another bible software program!

Indiana Specific Service Sign Program
Increase your business traffic! Motorists in Indiana rely on the familiar blue interstate highway signs for service and recreational information. These blue signs advertise logos for gas, food, lodging, camping, and tourist businesses. Logo Signs are placed preceding exit ramps, contain directional information, and are very helpful to guide motorists to your door. Indiana Logo Signs have been beneficial for businesses, with many reporting a 25% increase in customer traffic after their logo was displayed.
This year 71 million non-resident visitors will come to Indiana.
The state of Indiana authorized this sign program to support the gas, food, lodging, camping, and attraction services when it approved the Specific Service (Interstate) logo signs and Tourist Oriented Directional (TODS) Sign Programs.
Further information about the sign programs may be obtained by contacting the
Indiana Logo Sign Group:

Team Sign ups here: http://lvl1makefoodnotwar2012.eventbrite.com/
It's time for another 24 hour hackathon!
This October, from Saturday the 20th to Sunday the 21st, pit your building skills against 9 other teams attempting to assemble the finest food-flinging machines in the world!
Your challenge is to build a machine in 24 hours (or less) that can fling the tastiest foodstuff the longest distance with the most style. Teams can bring in any supplies they want (up to $150 worth– We will be asking for receipts at the door!), but you can't put anything together until the start of the competition. From then on out, it's a free-for-all to build your contraption using the supplies you've brought in alongside the supplies at the LVL1 hackerspace.
As with last time, buy only one ticket per team! One ticket gets your entire team in the door! Try to think of a team name before you show up!
At the end of the competition, teams will judge eachother in the following categories:
- Taste: How delicious is it, after being flung?
- Distance: How far did you fling it?
- Ingenuity: How well-built was your flinger? How crazy?
- Appearance: Is your food recognizable on the other end?
The rules:
- $150 budget, not counting parts from the boneyard at LVL1
- Must be built in 24 hours (nothing preassembled!)
- Team size is unlimited (in either direction), but 3-6 is recommended

Whether you're a deer hunter who wants to fill the freezer fast or simply enjoy a more interactive way of hunting, you can accomplish both by learning a relatively unknown call of the whitetail: the ma-mah bleat.
First identified — and later developed into a call — by legendary wildlife calling expert Jerry Peterson of Tennessee, the social bleat is a call he has used for decades to fill his freezer with venison on opening weekend of archery season. The call plays to the maternal instincts of the doe and once you learn how to use it correctly it can be quite successful. The ma-mah call also is great for coyote hunters, should you be interested in thinning your predators.
What is the ma-mah call?
Find out Wednesday from Peterson when he joins Dan Schmidt and Brad Rucks on Deer Talk Now. Peterson will discuss the call and his early-season strategies on the show.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) With so many scenarios for how the season may - or may not - play out, No. 5 Oregon was focused only on Oregon State and the 116th Civil War.
Oregon's march toward the national championship game detoured last Saturday with a 17-14 overtime loss to Stanford. Now, even the team's shot at the Pac-12 championship is in jeopardy.
``You have to be mentally tough,'' Oregon running back Kenjon Barner said. ``It's football. You're going to lose some games. It happens.''
Saturday's Civil War at Reser Stadium is a must-win for Oregon (10-1, 7-1) if they want to keep their hopes for a fourth straight Pac-12 title alive. But the Ducks will need UCLA to help with a victory over Stanford in Los Angeles. To be back in the mix for a national championship berth, they'll likely also need USC to topple undefeated and top-ranked Notre Dame.
Oregon State coach Mike Riley laughed when asked this if he's worried the Ducks will be doubly motivated against the 16th-ranked Beavers (8-2, 6-2) after the loss.
``I don't know what they're mindset is going to be,'' Riley said. ``But they're a really good, resilient football team. So that's what we expect.''
No matter what happens on Saturday, Oregon State can count this season as a success. The Beavers have staged a stunning turnaround with essentially the same team that went just 3-9 last season.
Oregon State's best weapon against the speedy Ducks may be its defense - much like Stanford's was in its victory over Oregon last weekend.
The Ducks have the fourth-ranked offense in the country, averaging 548.3 yards a game, and the fifth-best rushing offense with 313.5 yards a game. Stanford's stout D was able to hold the Ducks to 198 yards on the ground and 405 yards in total offense.
The Cardinal held Barner, averaging 136 yards rushing going in, to just 66 yards.
Oregon State has the nation's No. 14 rushing defense, allowing opponents only 108.7 yards on the ground per game. The Beavers' overall defense is ranked third in the Pac-12, allowing an average of 345 yards.
On offense, Oregon State will start Sean Mannion at quarterback because quarterback Cody Vaz only returned to practice Wednesday after a left ankle sprain.
Mannion started the first four games of the season, throwing seven touchdowns and averaging 339 yards, but injured his left knee and required surgery. Vaz, who hadn't started since high school, took over and helped the Beavers to win in the next two games, and later became the team's starter.
But Vaz sprained his left ankle in the final moments of a loss to Stanford two weeks ago, and sat out last Saturday during Oregon State's 64-14 victory at home over California.
Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti said this week that Oregon State's receiving duo, senior Markus Wheaton and sophomore Brandin Cooks, have the Ducks' attention.
Cook has 1,039 receiving yards with five touchdowns this season, and Wheaton has 986 yards with 10 TD catches. Both are among the top 15 in the nation for average receiving yards.
``I wish I could tell you `Not many worries, not many concerns,' but we got our work cut out for us because they remind me of an `SC down-the-field throwing team and last time I checked we didn't do really well in that one,'' Aliotti said. ``We're going to have to cover those receivers.''
For the record, Oregon beat the Trojans 62-51 but Matt Barkley threw for five touchdowns, including two to Marqise Lee.
Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota spent Sunday mulling over the loss to Stanford then got back to work on Monday. The redshirt freshman threw for 207 yards and a touchdown against the Cardinal.
``There were a lot of times I was trying to force it too much,'' Mariota reflected this week.
Mariota needs three total touchdowns - via pass or keepers - to reach Oregon's single season record of 36 set by Akili Smith in 1998 and matched by Darron Thomas in 2011. He already holds the Pac-12 freshman record with 29 touchdown passes this season.
In what could be his final game at Autzen Stadium, Barner needs two rushing touchdowns to match pal LaMichael James' single season record of 21 at Oregon in 2010. He needs just 15 more rushing yard to move past Derek Loville (1986-89) into second on Oregon career list.
The Ducks hold a 59-46-10 advantage in the Civil War, and they've won the last four games in the series. It is the seventh-longest contested rivalry in the nation, dating back to 1894.
Saturday's game will mark the fourth time that both teams are ranked for the Civil War. The last was in 2009, when Oregon was No. 7 and Oregon State was No. 13. That game was dubbed the ``War of the Roses'' because the winner was guaranteed a Rose Bowl berth. Oregon won 37-33.
Riley has seen his share of Civil Wars, both as coach of the Beavers and as the son of former Oregon State assistant coach Bud Riley, who passed away earlier this year. Growing up in Corvallis, Riley's watched the game from both the stands and the sidelines.
``I feel like this is to be embraced. It's fun to be involved in it, that's one of the things about tradition and history,'' Riley said. ``This game has been played a long time. In the record books when you total them all up it means the same thing, a win or a loss. But for the moment when you're in it, getting to play in a fun game like this, it means a lot to everybody.''

OCALA, Fla. (AP) — A central Florida brother and sister have been arrested after a deputy found a van overflowing with bags of chips that were apparently taken from a Frito-Lay factory.
The deputy pulled the siblings over early Friday after seeing a child jumping around in the backseat.
Twenty-five year-old Darren Hagerman says he and his sister, 22-year-old Jessica Huggard, have keys to the factories and travel between Marion and Citrus counties collecting expired bags of chips and reselling them to make a living.
The Ocala Star Banner reports a district manager told the deputy that only expired products would be in the trash. Otherwise, they would come from a truck or loading dock.
About half the packages in the siblings' van had expired dates.
They were both charged with grand theft.

She's married to him
Catherine Zeta Jones is.
Hate to be bitch (actually no I don't) but if I looked like CZJ, it would greatly distress me every night to have my supple body, that classic face, those pouty lips tied to this for the rest of his life.
I know love is more than skin and bones…but can love make lust for skin and bones?
This is Michael Douglas, thin skin and oldy bones in New York for the ringing of the Peace Bell at the UN on Friday. On the plus side, it looks like he's given up the plastic surgery. On every other down side… sigh…where do I begin?
Or maybe it's just me. Shallow, materialistic, vapid, with no understanding of true companionship, and destined for an eternity in hell…how could I possibly understand?
That must be it.

High school dance DJ Dana Wilson and former Maine Sports Hall of Famer was in court today as a judge read the verdict in his possession of child pornography trial. Wilson is accused of having downloaded child pornography on his laptop.
According to WABI-TV 5, the judge today found Wilson guilty of possession of child pornography, despite his attorney's assertion that prosecutors couldn't prove who had downloaded the porn. His attorney suggested during the trial that it was Wilson's adult son who had loaded the file, but the son denied the allegations during his testimony.
Bail for Wilson, who has been reportedly traveling back and forth to Florida, has been set at $5,000 secured or $500 cash, with the condition that he have no unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 16. The judge said that Wilson can still travel to Florida since he has never failed to appear in court.
Sentencing in the case is scheduled for July 23rd at 8 a.m.
