text: I really want Star Trek to cross over with something. It's such a huge franchise, and huge franchises cross over with each other after they've been at it for a while, right? Marvel and DC comics do it all the time, Jason fought Freddy, the Alien fought the Predator, I mean, it's about time something went down, isn't it? The only crossover I'm aware of that Star Trek has ever done was with the X-Men, and I'm also aware that they did that three times. However, I could do with more. I know it takes a lot to get the right people and get companies to play ball and whatnot, but I believe it should happen. Crossovers are FUN. Anybody agree with me?

While driving along Ocean City's St. Louis Avenue last week, a man, one of the Senior Week variety, was riding a moped talking on his cell phone, smoking a cigarette and holding a six-pack of Bud Light in his lap. I have to admit I was impressed at his ability to multi-task, but then got to thinking about Ocean City Councilman Lloyd Martin's desire for legislation mandating helmets for individuals riding mopeds or scooters. This has been discussed previously, but it usually runs into a dead end because the town would be unable to enforce such a local law citywide without help from the state legislature. The town could mandate helmets on city roads, such as St. Louis and Baltimore avenues, but not on the state-owned Coastal Highway. This is a matter worthy of legislative attention. It has gotten little attention in the past. If you have ever watched any of these young visitors zipping around town on these rented scooters, you understand it's amazing there have not been any tragedies or at least more accidents resulting in serious injuries. These scooters can now travel at high rates of speed and they can be dangerous, especially when alcohol and a perceived immortality is considered. It would seem to me the safety rules that govern motorcycles should simply be extended to mopeds and scooters. In Maryland, it's against the law to ride a motorcycle without a helmet.
Chances are the term "staycation" is not part of your vocabulary and that's a good thing because it's not a word. However, the expression has been in the news of late. It essentially refers to some folks' inability to take a vacation away from home this year. It seems a "staycation" refers to not working and spending a week in your house as you would normally but eating out and taking part in tourist-like activities, such as visiting the local zoo, county fair or museum. A recent article in the Poughkeepsie Journal addressed the "staycation" and referenced Ocean City. According to the newspaper's calculations, it would cost a family of four (children aged 10 and 6) about $2,000 to visit Ocean City for seven days and six nights. The estimate includes lodging, fuel, food and daily tourist activities. The trip estimate was based on three beach days; entrance to Jolly Roger for two children; bike rentals; high-speed boat rides; and entrance to Assateague Island National Seashore. Daily food costs were estimated at $118 per day and lodging per day at $152. The article compared the $2,000 cost to the expense to stay home, in this case in the Hudson Valley area of New York, and enjoy the local attractions at approximately $900. In my view, there may be something to the idea of the "staycation" given rising fuel costs and economic concerns, but it's unfair and irresponsible to compare staying at the beach with sticking close to home in a historic river region in New York. I am sure it's beautiful there this time of year, but this is the proverbial "apples to oranges" comparison.
Following up on last week's solicitation for comments on the town's new War of the Worlds type ad campaign, the reactions have been largely positive on youtube.com. I heard from a couple readers on the local front who thought the campaign left a little to be desired, especially when considered the money spent. On the youtube site, a huge majority of the feedback was positive. As of yesterday morning, there were 171 comments submitted. Many of the postings dealt with global warming, Al Gore and some other silly drivel. Here's a sample of some other feedback, some of which is a little odd:
— "That video was fantastic. I miss you Ocean City, Md. Signed, The other end of Hwy 50."
— "I always believed that we are moving toward the sun."
— "And if the water really starts boiling, we can throw a ton of Old Bay in there and our crabs will be good to go! Just bring your own beer …"
— "This video was crazy awesome. I like how 'book now' shows up in the background while he is saying it. Very creative. I'm for sure coming to good ole' Ocean City very soon."
— "I wasn't very impressed with this commercial. I hope it works though."
— "I love it. Extremely creative and funny. Does that mayor look and act a bit like William Shatner?"
— "It's a gimmicky ad to promote tourism. I don't think they were going for accuracy. The thing made national news, right? It has served its' purpose."
— "Great commercial. I like the sarcasm. Great angle, especially in this age of environmental paranoia."
— "The first time I saw it I knew it was going to turn some heads. Using absurdity to be absurd. Like Rush Limbaugh, very clever."

Of course this is mainly because I work for a trade union, and the leadership is very concious about not doing anything that even resembles misuse of the members money, eg sending employees (me, me! I want) on a week-long cruise on the sunny Mediterranian - even if it is quite sensible and cheap.
But I would love to go - and have a nice trip.

This is because the so called Bonpo Abhidharma, the Srid pa'i Mdzod Phug (revealed and written down by Shenchen Luga http://www.thlib.org/?wiki=/access/wiki ... 0luga.html (996-1035) in 1017) is held by the Bonpos to have been taught by Tonpa Shenrab. Tonpa Shenrab lived much earlier than Vasubandhu and the Buddha. There are some passages in the mDzod phug that are shared with the Kosha, but not very many, actually. But the Meru Cosmology etc., is basically the same. Therefore, the Bonpos claim the Mdzod phug influenced Buddhist cosmology.Jikan wrote:Related question that Malcolm is particularly well positioned to address:
in the volume Heart Drops of Dharmakaya, it's claimed that Vasubhandu's cosmology shares a common origin with Bonpo teachings. Is this a plausible claim? If so, does it contradict the claim that it derives from the Sarvastivada school? Or does it follow that the Bonpo tradition may share a common origin with the Sarvastivada school also?
Most modern scholars believe that the Mdzod Phug was partially influenced by the Kosha. However, the Mdzod Phug has a great deal of material in it that indicates it was also highly influenced by Dzogchen and so on. The materials in it are rich and have not been studiedvery much. The text is often incorrectly dismissed as a copy of the Buddhist Abhidharmakosha but it is nothing of the sort.
I studied one chapter of it recently, the chapter on the five elements with Dranpa Namkhai's commentary, and found it to be an amazing text of much interest, much more interesting in many respects than Vasubandhu's Kosha for someone who is practicing Dzogchen.
Dan Martin has done a lot of interesting analysis of the root text, but not so much on the commentary. Both texts, the root and the commentary were produced/revealed at the same time, in 1017.

Cholesterol in Children and TeensSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
A child may have a higher chance of having high cholesterol if he or she:
- Is overweight.
- Does not exercise much.
- Does not eat healthy foods.
- Has a family history of high cholesterol.
Cholesterol tests for children and teens
Your child's doctor may suggest a cholesterol test based on your child's age, family history, or a physical exam.
You can ask your child's doctor if your child should have a cholesterol test. There are different recommendations that doctors may follow.footnote 1, footnote 2, footnote 3
Cholesterol levels for children and teens
For children and teens:footnote 2
|Total cholesterol
|LDL (bad) cholesterol
Less than 170 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
Less than 110 mg/dL
|Borderline high
200 or above
130 or above
The goal numbers for HDL (good) cholesterol and triglycerides can depend on your child's age and gender. But in general:
- HDL (good) cholesterol should be higher than 40 mg/dL.
- Triglyceride levels should be below 130 mg/dL.
Treatment for high cholesterol
Treatment for high cholesterol typically includes changes in diet and increased physical activity. Work with your doctor or a dietitian to make diet changes so that your child can get proper nutrition while trying to lower cholesterol.
Less commonly, medicines, such as a statin, may be used to help lower cholesterol levels.
If you have concerns about your child's cholesterol, talk with your doctor.

Mubarak sworn in for fifth term as Egypt's president
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was sworn in on Tuesday for a fifth term after winning 88 percent of the vote in Egypt's first multi-party elections earlier this month.
Mubarak, who will shortly complete 25 years as president of Egypt and leader of the ruling National Democratic Party, addressed Egyptian parliament as he entered yet another six-year term.
A 21-gun salute launched the ceremony, which was held under tight security regulations. Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi was also present, according to Reuters.
Despite Mubarak's landslide victory, a mere 23 percent of Egyptians made it to the polls on September 7; of Egypt's 72 million citizens, only 6.5 million decided the voted for the incumbent president.
In the past Mubarak has received more than 90 of the vote in nationwide referendums. Last February, the Egyptian president initiated a new system of multi-party candidates. Nine candidates challenged him during the elections.
Mubarak had pledged to fight Egypt's rampant unemployment, and offer better housing and health care to the nation's citizenry.

(THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Jan. 24, 2014) California Lutheran University will host its popular Chinese New Year celebration from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, in Soiland Recreation Center.
The free event will celebrate the year of the wood horse (or green horse) with a traditional lion dance and gong fu (martial arts). Ming Ming Jiang, a world-renowned soprano from Beijing, will sing. Other performers include the Thousand Oaks Chinese Folk Ensemble, YangSheng Choir, in-Harmony Choir, Thousand Oaks Chinese School Dance Group and Thousand Oaks Tai Ji Group.
Authentic Chinese egg rolls, dumplings, noodles and desserts will be served. Artists will demonstrate painting and calligraphy, and vendors will add to the festive atmosphere. Red envelopes will be distributed to participants for good luck.
Chinese New Year, which this year begins on Jan. 31, is the most important of the Chinese holidays. The holiday lasts 15 days and focuses on bringing good luck for the new year.
According to legend, Chinese New Year started with the fight against a mythical beast called the Nian. To protect themselves, villagers put out food to satisfy the Nian. Later, finding that the beast feared the color red, they hung red lanterns and red spring scrolls on windows and doors. Today, adults give red envelopes, often containing money, to children to symbolize wealth and prosperity in the coming year. Lanterns symbolize the brightness of spring. In dragon and lion dances, a group of dancers parade under elaborately decorated costumes to scare away bad luck.
In Chinese astrology, the year of the horse is considered a fortunate year that brings luck and good things, according to organizer and CLU faculty member Debby Chang.

HTC One Developer Edition unlocks the SIM, bootloader and your wallet all for $649
Only buyers with a U.S. zip code can purchase the HTC One Developer Edition, which is being produced in limited quantity. Outside of the unlocked bootloader and SIM, this is the same phone that your buddy down the street will pay a lot less for, on contract. If you plan on building apps for the phone or you are going to be tinkering the heck out of it, you might find it useful. Otherwise, the regular carrier version should suit your needs.

utterly useless product, if something needs a "developer edition" device in order to work then that simply means it's not going to work on the non-developer editions of the device that 99% of consumers will endup with, first Motorola, then Samsung now HTC, why can't they stop this stupidity...

allow me to clarify, i'm referring to the "developer edition" phenomenon, not the HTC One itself, which is appearing to be a decent phone.
4. rizevnarastek (Posts: 349; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
Developer edition means it's bootloader is unlocked, scoff, SIM unlocked and you still have your warranty. That's that.

$50 more than usual smartphone price for unlocked phone? I'm in. Heck id pay the $50 just to get rid of the ugly carrier logos. That its the 64gb model is just a plus.

HTC for $649, too much money, maybe more like $549; someone please pinch this guy, wake him up.

Not really. It's $650 for the entirely unlocked and unbranded 64 GB version; that's only about $50-100 more than other off contract phones from carriers that only have 16 GB of storage.
About $50 more for an unbranded and unlocked device with 4 times the storage of off contract carrier seems pretty good to me.

text: ckn 4,533 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 Has anyone successfully changed their career? I posted this post last month about me looking to move back into permanent work but a number of recent things have made me realise that it may be the overall career I can no longer stand rather than just bits of it. I went for a 2nd interview yesterday, it went very well and there's an excellent chance I'll get an offer early next week but the job itself doesn't give me that feeling of excitement at getting it despite it being one of the top jobs available in my industry and profession. The thought of working in my day job for another 5-6 years just makes me cold. So... I'm very tempted to just sack it all for a month or two and put a lot of effort into investigating a career change into doing something I actually enjoy. I fell into my current career by accident in 2000, right place at the right time and given a chance that I really shouldn't have been given to run a major international technology project despite having never run a project more complex than my weekly Tesco shopping trip. Looking back on it with 13 years of experience behind me, it's a project that should only really have been given to someone at the top of their trade due to its complicating factors of difficult end client, 8 figure budget, 50+ full-time staff, an unproven experimental technology and a set of requirements that struggled to fill one page. I did fairly well, mainly through luck and being dragged along by a very experienced technical lead. Since then, that's been my career, doing higher end technology and business projects with complex outcomes. For the first 10 years it was good fun and very enjoyable but it has become a bit of a chore over the last 3. I know I have a lot of transferable skills and wide-ranging professional qualifications but I've never really put the effort into thinking about what other jobs I'd like to do with my skills. I may even put the effort into the career change and discover that all I really needed was a sabbatical from my career to refresh my enthusiasm, I doubt it but I'm not closing off the door to my past career without doing the proper due diligence. At the age of 42, I'm getting to the point where I want to be doing a career that interests me, even if it's lower paid, than one that I grudge. I also would prefer one where my daily commute is far shorter than my typical trip into London where all of my likely top-end employers are based. My wife's serious illness over the last few years has also made me look at quality of life issues and realise that I really want to be spending less of my time thinking about work and get to the point that my private life takes more time than my working life. Quite often on some of my projects I never do things outside of work from Monday to Friday due to the pressures of the job and long commutes, I'm out doing sport on Saturday and that leaves the solitary Sunday that we have to pack things into to get quality time together. I now realise that that's not acceptable. I'd be very interested to hear any examples of others who have changed careers and lessons learned from that change.

For the offense, votes go to Bruce, Stubbs and the left field platoon
For the pitching, votes go to Harang, Bailey or Cueto. But Chapman may surprise everyone and become the most valuable piece.
Of these choices, Bruce is the obvious answer. He's capable of the biggest delta in my mind. A year like we all think he's capable of would mean a huge difference to the offense.

I am just getting started with c++ and I am adjusting from php, which has proved difficult so far. Variable types are throwing me off.
I can't find anywhere how you would 'combine' two integers. For example:
int x = 5;
int y = 2;
and I want to make them 52 or 25. In php you can just separate them with a period and they would append. Is it similar in C++ or will I have to write a math formula in a function to derive the desired number from two augments?

House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer: President Must Pro-Actively Tackle Domestic Priorities
(202) 225 - 3130
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) issued the following statement today in anticipation of the President's State of the Union Address:
President Bush must convince the American people tonight in his State of the Union Address that he has a pro-active plan to address crucial domestic concerns – jobs for the unemployed, health insurance for the uninsured, prescription drugs for seniors, and a commitment to actually fund landmark education and corporate accountability reforms. To date, he has only paid lip service to these priorities and used them as props for his No. 1 priority – tax cuts that have done, and will do, little for working families or the economy.
Right now, this Administration is not effectively addressing America's needs and our citizens know it. The honeymoon's over. Only one-third of Americans believe our nation is headed in the right direction.
Since President Bush took office, the economy has lost more than 1.7 million jobs. Today, there are 8.6 million unemployed Americans. The stock market has nosedived, and consumer confidence is down. The poverty rate is increasing and health insurance costs and drug costs are skyrocketing. There are currently 41 million Americans without health insurance today.
Meanwhile, this Administration, which inherited record budget surpluses, has enacted policies that have us swimming in a sea of red ink again. The Congressional Budget Office is expected to release new projections tomorrow that show the federal budget will run a deficit of $175 billion this year, and OMB Director Mitch Daniels now predicts deficits "for the foreseeable future."
The Administration has put our nation in this predicament, but it's only response to date has been "full steam ahead" with ideological tax cuts that are tilted toward the most affluent. Our ship of state is on a rocky sea today, and the Bush Administration seems to have lost its bearing as well as its ability to steer us out of this storm.
Democrats have a plan to increase our prosperity and enhance our security. Our economic stimulus proposal would jumpstart our economy now and get America back to work. It would create one million jobs, provide tax benefits to workers as well as small businesses, strengthen our homeland security and provide aid to the fiscally-strapped states.
Tonight, Americans want answers to their questions. It remains to be seen whether President Bush will give them anything more than rhetoric.

Besides funding major programs, the federal spending bill that the Senate passed Thursday contains a provision that has gained little notice yet affects consumers nationwide.
The legislation, which now heads to President Barack Obama, withholds federal funding for enforcement of rules that effectively prohibit the manufacturing, import and distribution of 40- to 100-watt incandescent light bulbs in the United States.
It's the latest chapter of debate related to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which pulled the plug on the 100-watt incandescent bulb in 2012 and then the 75-watt bulb last year. The final step of the phaseout, which began Jan. 1, essentially bans 40- and 60-watt incandescent bulbs, which make up more than 60 percent of all bulbs sold annually, according to the American Lighting Association.
The no-enforcement-funding measure, which was championed by various GOP lawmakers and some consumer choice advocates, comes amid low public awareness of the incandescent-bulb issue. In November, The Futures Company research group found that two-thirds of the 1,000 adult consumers it surveyed nationwide didn't know about the phaseout.
Groups that monitor the topic had differing reactions to the light-bulb provision in the new spending bill.
"This is almost petulant on their part," said Sachu Constantine, director of policy for the San Diego-based California Center for Sustainable Energy. "They don't like the fact that this (phaseout) might work, so they're going to take their money and go home."
Adrian Moore, a vice president for the Reason Foundation, a free-market think tank in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., called the phaseout a bad idea but didn't see the Senate's vote as having a long-term effect.
"This isn't going to make getting incandescent bulbs any easier," he said.
Moore also said stores still will be hesitant to carry the bulbs for fear that environmental groups will sue them.
Phallan Davis, public information officer for the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, said she doesn't think the spending-bill provision will influence the market. "From our perspective, the transition is already complete," she said of the association, which represents 95 percent of all light-bulb makers in the nation.
Manufacturers responded to the 2007 law by retooling their operations to meet the new standards, she said.
"It's likely that most consumers won't notice that the change has happened, as is the case with the 100- and 75-watt (incandescent) bulbs that transitioned over the last two years," Davis added.
Trishah Woolley, who runs the website LightBulbChoice.com, said she was pleased about the delayed federal enforcement because it could give more time to examine whether replacement bulbs are as good as advertised.
Woolley, a New Jersey resident who once worked at UC San Diego, said environmentalists may turn against the new bulbs if more evidence becomes available that they don't last longer than incandescent ones and take more energy to produce.
"People are really going to start getting upset when their reserve runs out and they're stuck," said Woolley, who has a condition called Irlen Syndrome that makes her eyes sensitive to fluorescent lights. "Americans don't like not having freedom of choice."

i felt like katherine is a good director but not a good choice for twilight
i thought she spent loads of attention on the more actiony scenes like the car crash, the base ball scene, the fight. which were all awesome and probably better that most directors could do BUT she didn't spend enough time on bella and edwards relationship-i found it hard to see that they were in love because there wasnt enough time of them together and i didn't think they were happoy enough sround each other -there was none of that light joking you get when reading twilight. and i really missed the blood typing scene-very romantic, and they spoent no time talking (in the caffateria or cars) which let you get more of a grasp about how they feel towards eachother
and allthough cris's adaptation of the northern lights was really not at all like the books adn even missed the end off i thought it was a good film and lots of attention to detail was spent. - i am looking forward to seeing how he portrais it.
though taylors acting was good but he didn't look like the jacob i think it will be bad to replace a character cause loads of my friends who didn't read the book (adn other membors of the public) will be like wtf is goin on?!
i thhink the film was helped alot by the hype and when i went to see it 1st time round i was screaming and giggling most of the way through so i didn't really watch it that closely but 2nd time i spent more attention to the film itself (not just robert adn jackson) and didn't think it was that great. hay ho
hope new moon is better

Sequestration Counseling Offered by CommonWealth One
The $308 million, 34,900-member CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union in Alexandria, Va., is offering individualized attention to any of its 34,900 members affected by the federal budget cuts known as sequestration.
An online debt analysis and budgeting tool is being offered on the credit union's webpage and a hotline has been established to allow members to easily contact the credit union to discuss a solution that fits their needs, CommonWealth One said.
The first step in the process is for the member to understand their financial situation before they can factor in the effects of sequestration on their income," the credit union said in its announcement.
"We're here to help our members through the challenges of facing a reduced income," said Ashley Baldeon, marketing manager. "We thoroughly support 'people helping people'."
CommonWealth One has branches in downtown Washington, D.C., and in Alexandria and Harrisonburg, Va., including at James Madison University, and is open to membership to anyone who lives, works, worships, goes to school, or volunteers in the District of Columbia, the cities of Harrisonburg and Alexandria or Warren and Clarke counties, as well as more than 200 SEGs.
A number of other credit unions have announced special loan terms for members affected by the sequestration budget cuts.

In yesterday's post, I discussed how the changing demographics of the US threaten the future of the Republican party. While I focused largely on ethnicity, there is one other demographic where the party is getting trounced and that is among scientists. In an article titled Why Conservatives Turned Against Science Erik M. Conway and Naomi Oreskes lay out the figures.
A 2009 study by the Pew Research Center found that only 9 percent of scientists self-identified as conservative, while 52 percent called themselves liberals. Only 6 percent of American scientists self-identified as Republicans.
Of course the numbers of scientists is minuscule so this does not matter in terms of actual votes. But this alienation of scientists from the GOP points to a deeper problem and that is the extraordinary extent to which anti-science forces have taken over the Republican party. Ideas that are now part of the scientific consensus such as evolution, climate change, and the age of the Earth are not only controversial within the party, they are even seen as false ideas that are being deliberately foisted on the public in an attempt to hoodwink them and hence rejected as being a devious plot by the scientific community, part of some larger nefarious agenda. This has threatened to split the conservative movement, with those who are reality-based wondering how to remain within a political party that has so resolutely turned its face against science.
Conway and Oreskes remind us that it was not always thus.
In the 1968 election, Richard Nixon won the votes of 31 percent of physicists, 42 percent of biologists, 52 percent of geologists, and 62 percent of agricultural scientists (compared with 43.4 percent of the popular vote). While these data do not include party affiliation, they suggest that the scientific community of the late 1960s was much more evenly divided between the two major parties than it is now, and, with the exception of physicists, slightly more conservative than the American voting public at large.
They point out that it was during Richard Nixon's administration that we saw the passage of sweeping environmental legislation such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air and Water Acts, the Endangered Species Act, and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. They add:
It seems hard to believe today, but environmental protection used to be a bipartisan affair. In the early half of the 20th century, Republican and Democratic administrations pursued conservation, setting aside land as national forests and parks but leaving pollution control to local and state governments. By the 1950s, however, pollution became a national issue.
The authors pose the question: Why have scientists fled the Republican Party? The obvious answer is that it is because the Republican Party has turned its back on science. But what caused that to happen? One plausible answer might be that as religious fundamentalists, spurred by the issue of abortion, gained increasing sway within the GOP, those scientific issues that directly threatened religious beliefs, such as evolution and the age of the Earth, had to be rejected. Climate change was rejected for an indirect religious reason, because of the belief that god would not allow the destruction of the planet that he had specially brought into being for those created in his image.
But the authors suggest a different cause, that it was the shift in emphasis in environmental concerns from "aesthetic environmentalism" devoted largely to protecting areas of national beauty (which did not require a lot of science or expansion of federal authority) to pollution control (which did require both) that was the trigger for the schism. As science and scientists became more visibly involved in assessing environmental threats and recommending solutions that required government regulations, they became perceived as being part of the growing regulatory state and this coincided with the rise of Reaganism and the counter-attack by the business community on what they felt was excessive government intrusion into the marketplace that had hitherto given them considerable freedom to exploit natural resources as they wished.
In 1972 a group of scientists published the book Limits to Growth that argued that there were limits to the ability of the Earth to provide raw materials and its ability to absorb waste, and thus controls needed to be put in place to deal with those twin problems. This view was anathema to those who felt that human ingenuity and technological innovation, constrained only by market forces and unfettered by the government regulations, would be able to overcome these challenges. Wealthy business interests, conservative intellectuals, and think tanks led this counterattack and conservative politicians dutifully fell in line.
The Reagan administration also rejected the idea of limits, seeing technological innovation as the best solution to pollution. Reagan's budget director, David Stockman, set out to reduce or eliminate the regulatory burden on industry by rolling back regulations, preventing future ones, definancing enforcement agencies, and devolving enforcement to the states (which were generally less willing or able to regulate large industries and often lacked the scientific capability to do so). The Reagan administration's ideological assault on regulatory agencies left their staffs disorganized and demoralized. Budget cuts also deprived them of expertise, as specialists moved to positions outside government.
Reagan later replaced his most extreme cabinet members, but the antiregulatory, antilimits ideology did not fade away; it remained embedded in the New Right's network of think tanks, law firms, and foundations. It was now orthodoxy in the Republican Party, and when the Republicans took control of Congress in 1994, soon making Gingrich speaker of the House of Representatives, Republicans passed bills curtailing environmental laws.
It is with the issue of climate change that the issue came to a head as over time conservative attacks on science became steadily more strident as they fought to roll back environmental protections.
Confirmation of global warming activated a new phase in the conservative assault on environmental protection: Conservatives began to attack individual scientists and to deny the legitimacy of climate science, and sometimes even of the concept of publicly financed science.
In this view, religious fundamentalists, rather than being the instigators of this struggle, play the role of natural allies who were recruited by big business as foot soldiers in this anti-science movement. The net result is that big business interests and religious fundamentalists, the backbone of the modern Republican party, have become the new face of conservatism and stridently anti-science.
It's hardly surprising, then, that natural scientists have fled the GOP. Scientific research, with its basis in observation and experience of the natural world, is rooted in the fundamental premise that when the results of our investigations tell us something, we pay heed.
So there we have it. Science itself has become seen as having a liberal bias.
How long can the Republican party persist with its anti-science attitudes? Their defeat in the recent elections has caused considerable soul-searching, with some suggesting that the party needs to shed its image as being so dominated by the crazies that it is tempting people with any shred of intellectual self-respect to defect.
Humorist Andy Borowitz suggests that they may be already thinking along those lines.
Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, told reporters today, "We need to welcome people who believe in different things than we do, like math and science."
Although said in jest, the Republican party should take that message seriously. Let's see how that goes.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) – A beetle that has killed millions of ash trees in the eastern U.S. and parts of the South has been detected in Johnson County.
The Kansas Department of Agriculture said Monday that emerald ash borer was found in a tree near the Johnson County landfill. Trees there were being inspected after the presence of emerald ash borer was found last summer in Wyandotte County.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed the beetle's presence in Johnson County on July 11.
Ash trees become infested when adult beetles lay eggs on the bark, leading to larvae that bore into the tree.
Kansas has enacted an emergency quarantine for Johnson County, similar to quarantine in place in Wyandotte County, to prevent further spread of emerald ash borer in Kansas.

ND mulls $1M grant for mobile fertilizer plants
BISMARCK (AP) -- A New York company is asking North Dakota regulators for $1 million to help build a mobile plant that would convert natural gas that's normally burned off as a byproduct of oil production into farm fertilizer.
The request from N-Flex LLC will be considered Monday by the North Dakota Industrial Commission, a panel of top state officials. Company founder Neil Cohn said the state grant would cover about a quarter of the cost of a pilot program to build A plant that could be moved between oils wells in western North Dakota.
Natural gas is a byproduct of oil drilling in North Dakota, where crude production has risen more than 400 percent since 2007. But about a third of the natural gas produced in North Dakota is wasted because collecting systems and pipelines needed to move it to market have not kept pace with oil production.
Natural gas also is a key ingredient in nitrogen fertilizer, the cost of which has soared and supplies have tightened in the past decade, Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said.
Goehring said the company's plan could reduce the amount of wasted gas and emissions, while providing much-needed and lower-cost fertilizer for farmers.
"This has potential and I think it will work very well and the state will reap the rewards," said Goehring, who along with Gov. Jack Dalrymple and Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem make up the Industrial Commission.
According to N-Flex, a single oil well aimed at North Dakota's rich Bakken or Three Forks formations could produce enough natural gas to convert to more than 3 tons of anhydrous ammonia annually -- enough to fertilize 33,000 acres of wheat or 16,000 acres of corn.
Natural gas produced from the two formations also is rich in liquids that can be converted into fuels such as butane, propane and gasoline. Cohn said natural gas liquids also would be marketed.
Cohn said a pilot project could be operational within 18 months, and dozens of similar mobile plants could be in place in the next few years that could be capable of satiating fertilizer needs in nearby farm states and Canadian provinces.
Goehring said nitrogen-based fertilizer costs have risen from about $100 a ton in the early 1990s to more than $850 a ton. Goehring and Cohn said the bulk of anhydrous ammonia is imported from outside the U.S.
A state-funded study released last month predicts that natural gas production could quintuple to some 3 billion cubic feet by 2025 in the Williston Basin, which spans parts of the Dakotas and Montana.
State officials say more than $3 billion in infrastructure improvements have been built or planned in North Dakota to process natural gas and move it to market.
Separately, the Northern Corn Development Corp. has proposed a $1 billion farmer-owned fertilizer plant that would use natural gas that's burned off as a byproduct of oil production in western North Dakota.
The state Commerce Department's Agricultural Products Utilization Commission awarded the Fargo-based group $100,000 last month to study the idea of building the plant in the upper Midwest.
Tom Lilja, executive director of the group, said the plant could produce 2,200 tons daily of fertilizer using natural gas from North Dakota's oil patch that otherwise would be wasted. He said the project has generated much interest from farmers and other private investors.
Industry and others are making progress in capturing valuable natural gas that otherwise would go up in smoke, said Ron Ness, president of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, which represents several hundred companies working in the state's Oil Patch.

This week we've got games that ask you to do the hard stuff. You know, like confronting a crush and landing on the moon. Some of these games are hard to play (some are downright sadistic, in fact) and some are just about difficult things; more importantly, they're all even more fun than they are challenging.
Heart the Beat
Heart the Beat is a rhythm game that takes the form of a top-down shooter. The thing is, you aren't shooting anything; you're just collecting coins and trying to dodge the walls that'll reset your score multiplier. It sounds simple, but the vibrant colors make it a blast to play through. Here's a quick tip: try to go for the risky early coins so you can rack up a high score multiplier quickly. If that seems a little too risky, trust me: you don't even know what risky looks like until halfway into this game.
Crashed Lander
Crashed Lander is not an easy game to play (turn on the auto-pilot IMMEDIATELY) but it is a fun and impressive browser game about trying to pilot a rickety lunar lander to various launch pads. As the title might indicate you'll fail A LOT. But trust me, you'll still enjoy doing it.
Crush isn't a long or complex game; in some ways it isn't even a game at all. It's more an exploration of what it feels like to try and talk to your crush that ends up, like a lot of very personal indie games, really putting you in the head of its creator. It isn't the best game you'll play all week but it's certainly worth your time to play.
Rebirth: The Tibetan Game of Liberation
Rebirth: The Tibetan Game of Liberation is a text adventure based on a 700-year-old board game about reaching spiritual enlightenment. It's more fun than it sounds. It's also fascinating both as a cultural history and as a bit of gaming history showing you what mechanics were and weren't in place during the early days of gaming.
Super Puzzle Platformer Plus
Adult Swim's on a roll with good games lately, and Super Puzzle Platformer Plus is an excellent addition to their expanding line of awesome web games. The best way to describe the game is as a platformer taking place inside a level of a Tetris-esque puzzle game. Blocks will fall from the ceiling, and you'll need to dodge out of the way and blast them apart to gain more points and levels. As you progress, the game starts dropping more difficult and complex blocks, which forces you to think strategically about which blocks you're destroying and when.


text: I am looking for a week's intensive course for myself and my son, on clay. I have played on clay many times myself in Spain, and I want to introduce my son to the stuff at an early age, to make him a good all-round player; and my knees won't take the pounding of playing 4 hrs. on hard courts for a whole week(!). The third part of the equation is to have a bit of a family holiday, so we thought of going somewhere new – Chile or Argentina. Tennis (boys) / shopping (girls) in the morning, sightseeing in the afternoon, nice dinners in the evening! I've googled the subject but nothing seems to come up, even in the countries' Spanish sites. Does anyone know of / recommend any good tennis academies in Chile / Argentina? Thanks.

Director, actor couples drawn to make feature about writer's fantasy
Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton qualify as one of the most unusual directing teams now working. After establishing a name for themselves in music videos with such groups as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and R.E.M., the husband-and-wife team successfully broke into feature films with their 2006 commercial and critical hit Little Miss Sunshine. After a long incubation period, they are back with their second feature, Ruby Sparks.
The duo recently visited the area in promotion for their movie, and they were joined by the film's stars, Paul Dano, who also appeared in Sunshine, and Zoe Kazan, who plays the title character.
The fantastical yet original romantic comedy is about a blocked novelist (Dano) who creates his dream woman by simply writing her into existence.
Kazan wrote Ruby Sparks into existence as the film's screenwriter, taking her idea and giving it life and then structure.
"I originally was thinking of relationships and how when you meet someone, your first impression is usually the one that lasts the longest," she said.
The script quickly found its way to Dayton and Faris, who said they were drawn to it.
"For us, you read a script and imagine making the movie, and when you think it's something you've never seen before, it's exciting," Faris said.
"They got it in the summer of 2010," Kazan said. "By October, they came back to me with their first set of notes, and I could tell we were on the same page. They wanted to play it completely real, and Paul and I both felt comfortable with them doing it."
It should be noted at this point that Kazan and Dano, in addition to being a couple in Ruby Sparks, have been together as a couple offscreen for several years.
The filmmakers worked closely with Kazan on bringing the script to screen.
"We do a lot of preparation," Faris said. "So we worked with Zoe a lot before we ever even got to the set. Zoe has always been interested in the Pygmalion myth, mostly about how men can't give birth. So this is a classic setup showing how a man can create. It's just a little different take on the myth."
Did Kazan feel overprotective of her script when the directors wanted to make changes?
"Val and Jon would ask me to change a scene, to make an addition or two, but most of the time they were putting a finger on something and it helped me to see the problem," Kazan said.
The movie has some interesting casting choices. For one, Antonio Banderas plays a wildly uninhibited artist.
"That was up to Val and Jon, and they surprised me with some of their choices," Kazan said. "I had not thought of Antonio Banderas in that part, but I loved having this uber-masculine presence."
"You're halfway there when you get the right cast," Faris said. "You have to cast the right person, and I don't believe at all in casting against type."
As the session closed, a final question was directed at the quiet Dano. It referred to his recent role in Being Flynn, in which he played opposite Robert DeNiro. Who was more intimidating to work opposite, DeNiro or his girlfriend?
After laughing, Dano paused before giving his diplomatic answer: "I don't know. Bob gives a really nice hug."
Ruby Sparks opens Friday at the Magnolia in Dallas and other regional theaters.

"Run faster fat ass"
"Eat a cheeseburger dumb ass"
I'm so proud. Have you had any good cat calls lately?
Hey... huge congrats, you sexy guy!
The only cat calls I remember are from my last race, when I was told "Looking great, babe!" and "Looking good, doll!" by two very very old Bermudian gentlemen who had obviously forgotten to put their glasses on that morning.
Aside from that, I never get any cat calls. My TM is a well-behaved machine. :-)
PRs: Boston Marathon, 3:27, April 15th 2013
Cornwall Half-Marathon, 1:35, April 27th 2013
18 marathons, 18 BQs since 2010
Right at the beginning of Monday's run, a guy on a bike calls out "hey, nice butt". I didn't look back, he was like 20 feet from me and going the opposite direction so there wasn't really any point to acknowledge him, and I wasn't prepared
*Do It For Yourself, Do It Because They Said It Was Impossible, Do It Because They Said You Were Incapable*

13.1 - 1:53:12 (8:39 min/mile pace)
26.2 - (Debut) - 4:48:10
I usually hear things like "AWWEBBBBBBPPPLLLRRRRAAAAAA" I'm paraphrasing, of course, but that's pretty close to what it sounds like. I can never make out what people yell from cars when they yell at me as I run.
While out doing laps around Lake Tabeaud, I was going in the opposite direction to two "cowgirls" on horses. First two laps they smiled...third lap they grinned and said something that was rather flattering. I thanked them and went on my way. I was too busy running to tell them that I was old enough to be their father.
I think it's hilarious when early 20 something guys catcall something about my "butt" or "hot bod",,,,
,,because usually my head/face is covered up with a hat and they have no idea probably older
than their Mom's.
Skirt Runner
I'm usually running in the park on a jogging path where the other runners respectfully ignore me like proper New Yorkers.... but once when I was running on a sidewalk this man whistled at me and when I turned (should haveignored him but he startled me) he LICKED HIS LIPS and said, "mmmmm you're gonna be running through my dreams tonight." Oh brother!
PRs: 5K- 28:16 (5/5/13) 10K- 1:00:13 (10/27/13) 4M- 41:43 (9/7/13) 15K- 1:34:25 (8/17/13) 10M- 1:56:30 (4/6/14) HM- 2:20:16 (4/13/14) Full- 5:55:33 (11/1/15)
I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
I think I would have started cracking up, lol.
Ultra Cowboy
My latest one was in a small regional park where many trails wind around a 216 acre park. I'd passed by a couple of ladies walking their dogs a couple of times on different trail loops. One shouted out "how many laps you done?" My reply was simply "One too many!"
Squidward Bike Rider
No, just the usual car honks whenever I'm running on my one route that follows a main road.
Mostly harmless
Just the usual "Run Forrest!" from the idiots that think this is original humor. Most likely these are the same people that will say "Beam me up Scotty" and then look confused when I don't fall over laughing.
"It doesn't matter how often you do it or how much you accomplish, in general, not running is a lot easier than running." - Meb Keflezighi
YAYpril - B-Plus
I get "woo!"d at sometimes, mostly by teenaged boys. One time last summer two boys, maybe 14 years old, were walking and I passed them. One of them said "Oh yeah, keep movin those legs, you're almost done!" I ignored them of course, but I kind of wanted to say "thanks, but I have 3 miles to go!"
Another time was more recently, about 3 weeks ago. I was running around my neighborhood after work (it was dark) and passed 3 boys walking, maybe 16 years old. One of them catcalled me. I briefly wondered how they'd feel if they found out I was nearly twice their age.
levitation specialist
Various honks and yells, none of them very funny or original. I usually shout back "Thanks, I'm here til Thursday....try the veal!" and wave(it's a Shrek movie joke).
I get more positive cat calls "You're hot" than I did when I was larger bodied(like OP must have been) "You're fat", etc.
I find it oddly entertaining that people even feel the need to yell anything at anybody while out in public, both positive or negative. I am not out here for your amusement, stop harassing me with words I didn't ask for your opinion or judgement. I guess I just don't get it.
Heh. That's pretty much what I make out too. I do occasionally get the, "put a shirt on old man" when the weather warms up.
Short term goal: 17:59 5K
Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).
Heh. That's pretty much what I make out too. I do occasionally get the, "put a shirt on old man" when the weather warms up.
That was me.


text: Can anybody explain why Henin is using a hyper hammer 5.3 stretch(H-tour = paint job) I know this racket weighs about 284 g(strung) and is only 3 points head heavy. I've heard they didn't customize her racket except for the powerholes. I thought these lightweights were not suited for the real good players?? Is she the only player who uses a lighweight??

Now that Russia is officialy the first country to ever win an Olympic gold in each skating discipline which country will be the next? Right now the U.S lacks only pairs. Canada lacks only men. France I believe lack only ladies. Germany lacks only dance I believe. Britian lacks only the pairs. Austria lacks only the ice dancing gold. So that is atleast 6 countries with 3 out of 4. So who will be next, and how far into the future might it be.
Also should we now add needing the team gold to complete that set.
I think it will be a long time, perhaps atleast 20 years, before any country joins the club. I dont see a pairs gold for the U.S on the horizon. Canada could win a mens gold with someone like Nguyen or another up and comer, but not sure it will happen. We do still have a strong mens program going though. So Canada is probably the most likely. France does not look likely to do it in ladies anytime soon. The other countries seem out of gold contention in any event for the moment, other than possibly Germany in pairs.

|Special Collections
|Editorial Cartoon Digital Collection
In the 1860s and 1870s, Harper's Weekly set out to expose the corruption of William Macy Tweed, leader of New York's Tammany Hall political machine. Thomas Nast's political cartoons were particularly effective in their criticism, and "Boss" Tweed was claimed to have railed in response: "I don't care what the newspapers print about me. Most of my constituents can't read anyway . . . But stop them damn pictures!"
Since the mid-1700s, editorial cartoons, using simple text and a single image, have been vehicles for public criticism and political commentary. Their combination of visual imagery, journalism, and satire is intellectually accessible to the public, and at their best, the cartoons respond powerfully and vividly to current events.
For researchers and students, editorial cartoons provide a caricature of social and political thought in the past. Cartoons survive as an art form and as journalism. They present educators with engaging and effective instructional resources.
About the Collection
As a part of its Editorial Cartoon Collection, the University Libraries hold more than 3,500 examples of this format. Originally prepared for newspapers, magazines, and in some cases television, the cartoons address a spectrum of topics ranging from presidential elections to high school sports. The collection presents artistic commentary on the Civil Rights Movement, Watergate, and the Vietnam War. Some of the artwork reflects changes in American social and political attitudes. A pro-segregation cartoon from the early 1960s, for example, depicts a civil rights worker peering from behind bars that spell out "white power." Other cartoons seem almost timeless, lampooning government bureaucracy, taxes, and political corruption.
The collection consists of original editorial artworks by more than 300 artists from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The cartoons date from 1782 to 1980, though the bulk of the collection was created since 1960. In addition to the cartoons, the collection contains biographical files on contributing artists.
The University of Southern Mississippi acquired the Editorial Cartoon Collection from the member artists of the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists. These individuals donated their artwork for a series of traveling exhibits of editorial cartoons that the University sponsored between 1972 and 1979. During that time, more than 200 university libraries and schools of journalism throughout the United States hosted the exhibits.
Patrons may view items from this collection at the Cleanth Brooks Reading Room at the McCain Library & Archives. Hours of operation are 9 until 4, Monday through Friday.

(Reuters) - An unprecedented debate over how the global Internet is governed is set to dominate a meeting of officials in Dubai next week, with many countries pushing to give a United Nations body broad regulatory powers even as the United States and others contend such a move could mean the end of the open Internet.
In a closed-door meeting this weekend in Dubai, the telecommunications arm of the United Nations -- the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) -- plans to seize a big role in Internet governance.
What a joke. A bunch of backward f***wits in the desert are going to decide what I can't do?
I don't get what it is about a******* out there that go "we really gotta put a stop to this internet thing..."
^ Agreed. What exactly are their reasons for having to regulate the internet? This is utter crap and a massive infringement on the last bastion of freedom of speech (which isn't even that free as it is).
I hope to f*** that people are going to stand up and protest this s***.
One of the articles up there gives a lot of good points about why s*** kicker countries want a bit of control over the Internet. They want to charge companies in other countries for sending data to their country, they are scared of the power the Internet gives people when they are such a piece of s*** weak government.
And I think the thing that nobody wants to point out is that most people that work in politics are c****, and not just c****, but stupid c****, and uneducated c****. You think politicians in QLD are f*****g stupid? Try one from Africa in a dress that believes gays eat the poo poo and that witches are real.
I am insulted that it is the UN doing this, and I am insulted they would do it in a culturally disgusting place like Dubai.
So should I prepare my spam filter for strongly worded letters from the UN?

Ireland duo Paul O'Connell and Stephen Ferris will both miss the Test with Argentina on November 24.
O'Connell sat out Ireland's 16-12 loss to the Springboks on Saturday and Ireland's team manager Michael Kearney has confirmed that he is still struggling with a bulging disc problem.
"There's been no timeframe put on his return to play at this stage," Kearney said. "It's a question, I think, of just monitoring it as we go along and see where it ends up. There's no fixed date or estimate as to when he actually will return to play. It is out there in the public domain that he's had a couple of (anti-inflammatory) injections. He had a further injection on Friday.
"It will be managed for the next while and the hope is that it can settle down over the next few weeks. Certainly the nature of the injury means that it's a question of wait and see. It certainly isn't a black and white situation in terms of knowing the exact prognosis for what you do from this moment on."
And Ferris will also miss the match. "He has significant ankle ligament damage and is continuing to receive intensive treatment," Kearney said. "But at this stage, we don't expect him to be available for the game against Argentina on Saturday week."
Scrum-half Eoin Reddan is likely to miss Ireland's non-capped international with Fiji on Saturday due to a bruised ankle but Cian Healey and Donnacha Ryan are fully fit after post-match concussion testing.
Ireland are currently battling to secure their place as second-tier seeds ahead of the draw for the 2015 World Cup in December. Argentina's win over Wales has moved them up to seventh in the rankings and has pushed Ireland down to eighth.
