Why did civility take a back seat? Hmmm maybe because you chose to ignore what those whom disagreed with you said?
Why shouldn't it matter?
OR are you saying that because you were the OP you can pick and choose what responses are acceptable?
Also, how does your imagination become more important than mine?
Failing to address the points myself and a few others already addressed to you in this thread!
It's called precedence! If you are unaware of what that means ask a lawyer or look it up! That is what myself and others have been trying to tell you!
Odd that it took a moderator for their opinion to bring you into topic?
The timing of this thread is curious considering Turkey's latest revelation no ?
It should not even be mentioned when debating 9/11, it should be something that the "truther" just dont mention because its such a distance topic. Like i said, it is a "distraction"
Actually, it's not a distraction, nor is it distant to 9/11.
You're digging too deep and missing the whole point. The reason why "Operation Northwoods" gets brought up and compared to 9/11 is because "Operation Northwoods" was thought-up and designed to carry out false-flag attacks on U.S. soil and abroad, and blame those attacks on another country to go to war with that country.
9/11 also was a false-flag attack on U.S. soil to go to war with another country(s). But in this case, the "enemy" wasn't just one country. The "enemy" spans multiple countries, and now a good portion of this country (U.S.). Hell, we even invaded at least one country (Iraq) that had nothing to do with 9/11, and based on false pretenses.
That's how 9/11 and "Operation Northwoods" are related. At its simplest, both = false-flag attacks blamed on other countries to go to war with those countries. Except one was carried out, the other was not. And JFK payed the price for it.
Another reason why "Operation Northwoods" is brought up is to show how diabolical our military industrial complex was 50-years ago, and that it's not out of the question nor impossible to think that another false-flag operation could be designed or carried out.
They designed a false-flag operation before. They can and will do it again.

Well OP, it's a controversial topic to be sure. In fact, we don't even agree entirely on this for some of the reasoning. However, I'll say I appreciate you writing the thread I've considered writing myself a couple times. Just sitting down and reading the Northwoods papers, which are exactly what it said and what it entailed? It strikes me as unrelated as well. It's another bad idea in a line of bad ideas and in a time of our nation's history where really bad ideas in cowboy ways were mixed with the rare good idea that worked.
I do think it is important to stay open with discussing it though. On 9/11 especially, even the tossing away of a bad theory/reference like this one starts to raise suspicions for the mere action itself, regardless of how logical it is to some of us.
If the papers themselves are read, I think they stand for themselves as what they are. As reckless in their way as MacArthur's idea of irradiating the Chinese border during the Korean war. Just.....ummmm...NO! It seems to have gotten about that response from the decision maker, too.
If anything, Northwoods shows, at least at that point, "TPTB" didn't exist with the power for independent action, since that was "their" plan, if we're calling the Military-Industrial complex a part of it. THAT much, it is good to see and know. At that moment, the President could and did still say 'No..not even close".
Northwoods was a false flag
Once you establish that any false flag is a possibility
I consider Northwoods rationale and what happened on 9/11 a common rationale, an attack on the homeland,
people's court in...ahem, Malaysia 2012, found G.W.Bush and cohorts guilty of war crimes, and citing 9/11 as a strategic move...a false flag.

Northwoods was a false flag
No Northwoods was a idea, a idea that was spawned in a time when America was under a massive soviet threat and was looking for any solution possible. It was never a false flag because nothing every actually happened, it is just words on a page.
Once you establish that any false flag is a possibility
Of course it is a "possibility" but there is a whole world of a differance between saying it was "possible" and that it actually happened. Additionally any one with a little imagination could dream up a false flag, its not something that started with the Northwoods revelations. You do not need Northwoods in a 9/11 debate to some how prove or suggest that the government of the day was capable of dreaming up such a devious plot.
I consider Northwoods rationale and what happened on 9/11 a common rationale, an attack on the homeland,
Even if for a moment to save argument we say that yes 9/11 was a false flag, that still does not mean that Northwoods provides any kind of "rationale" for what happened. The two "false flags" would have looked nothing like each other so to say it was the "rationale", so to then argue that Northwoods was the logical basis for the attacks of 9/11 is ridiculous.
Just no.
people's court in...ahem, Malaysia 2012, found G.W.Bush and cohorts guilty of war crimes, and citing 9/11 as a strategic move...a false flag.
That was not even a real court it was a mock tribunal set up by the former Malaysian Prime minister to "prove" that Bush and co had committed war crimes by invading Iraq. I believe they took something like 4 or 5 days to make the decision, and declared they were all guilty of war crimes. However as it was not a "real" court their verdict means absolutely nothing.
reply to post by smurfy
Actually, no.. Northwoods wasn't a False Flag. Northwoods was an idea, on paper, from some planners and with enough Brass (who had real brass on this one) to get it before the President to consider. By the sound of it, his consideration was short, abrupt and without room for confusion.
But, just because Northwoods didn't happen, that is not to say that something similar, like 9/11, would, or could not happen,

Granted on that. The thing is, there is almost 40 years separation between a bad idea that got shot down on sight vs a real world event that bore no actual resemblance for details or methods.
I'm all for finding tenuous connections that might lead to others. I've come across some real wild things by running up bunny trails of passing interest that way. I just see this specific plan very often misrepresented across the net for what it was vs. what it really was to read it.
It's beyond tenuous for me. It has been since I did dig up a copy myself.
It went to McNamara as Secretary of Defense, and it was he who presented it to Kennedy, who rejected it. I don't really know what McNamara thought about it.
The reality is at that level, it was much more than an 'idea'

(Las Vegas, NV) — Police have raided an alleged synthetic drug lab in the northeast valley. Authorities say a robbery alarm went off late Wednesday night at a warehouse on Lamb near Cheyenne. Officers seized about 150 pounds of synthetic stimulants known as "bath salts" and "spice." Several suspects were detained in the raid. The products will be tested to determine if they are among substances banned by the state. The owner of the business claims the products are legal.

We came from here:
Still in the rain and drizzle here but it sure is perking up my azaleas that I have been dousing in coffee grounds for the past year, just like my mother taught me and it is finally paying off. Now if it would do the same for the rhodendruns as they still are not in bloom.
May 2009 in the Garden
We came from here:
OK, brought my dafs....I think I am over now about 2/3rds of the way done of their bloom. Just got the doubles left and lots of times they do not do to well. They are in good bud, but I am not so sure if they will pop.
I was a bad woman again and got a few annuals.. I will post those at the GPS though since this is in the garden!
Haighr that azalea is stunning. I dont thing I can do them here wiht all this wet. There are a few I woudl love to have.. and also I would love a blue hydrangea and a magnolia.. but I think the bog would kill them. I swear I have at the minimum a half inch of water on just about every inch of this peice of paradise, and then it gets deeper!!
Bring on the May flowers Pilgrims!! RRR! I will have more to post for sure.
white daff greeeeen center
The double white are my favorite blossom, will be over to pick them up !
Thanks for your compliments blossom, most of it takes care of itself. Now remember to go beat that wisteria with a rolled up newspaper. Mine is not quite in full bloom, but almost, if the sun ever shines again, they are now saying the rain will last all the way through next weekend as well, sigh!
I was good this year, not a single annual except for annual seeds and guess what they are popping up. Nasturiums, snapdragons, zinnias, oh, what else was there, my hollyhocks which I have yet to put in the soggy ground and somethin I am forgetting of course. I harvest my own cleome and zinnias and the others I just picked up at Lowes. I even found some zinnia seed left from 2002.
headed to the cabin to turn on the water this weekend, keep fingers crossed no frozen pipes. Tim and Eva may come down if his work gets taken care of in Ohio! See you on the return and have a great weekend.
Thanks for the link to the new May in the garden thread Candee!
Your wisteria is certainlty somethin' to brag about, gorgeous! Love your birdhouse, everything looks so fresh and
pretty. Have a nice weekend at the cabin....... what time are we leaving? I've got my toothbrush and pj's lets go!!
Watch out with your 'snow balls' Blossom, looking forward to the summer fight LOL!
Beautiful Daffs, daff nee!! Thanks for sharing all your beauties.
LOL! I would probably get turned in for plant abuse if I was seen whipping that poooor wisteria with a newspaper!!
I hear ya one the frozen pipes.. good luck on that. (Mummble mumble on my own!)
I havenot started any seed yet. Plant to do cleomes and zinnias and a few others.. I probably could start anytime now that the frost is a-hem allegedly past.
Be posting the annuals on the GPS thread...
Well, here is an achillea millefolora..white when it does finally bloom.
that white violet is sweet.
I have Australian violet, a pinky one & one pale creamy yellow.
trying to propagate that one & the Aussie as they are very nice & not all that common.
the pinky one spreads easily & I have been giving bits away to family & friends.
The pic is not very good but this is the Australian native violet.
dalfrye, we have a yellow woodland violet. iit is wild. As soon as I see them I will post a pic.! That violet of yours in pink sounds awesome!
dalfyre what a beautiful rose that is.
blossom not sure what any of those are but they are flowering lovlies at any rate.
Sorry Terri, we left you standing there on the side of the road again, guess we didn't see ya with all the rain when we headed outta town. We shall surely pick you up on another trip and glad you didn't have to come and work this weekend, better to wait until all is up and runnin and then we can give you a lift. Perhaps blossom and dalfrye will want to come one weekend if they have the time. Sue sure enjoyed herself last year, but guess she has gotten really busy this season as we haven't heard much outta her.
the pinky violet is flowering now so I will hunt some out for a pic - it is an attractive colour & not a real pink but not sure how to describe it...
this is one of my favourite roses, Yours Always.
We had -1C this morning, winter is just around the corner.
But we don't get too much colder than that, perhaps down to -5C overnight low & seldom see snow.
A few years back we had a severe cold snap & it went down to -7C & stayed that cold for a while, froze at least a third of water pipes in the city & in rural areas & further south there was deep snow for weeks.
Candee, you left me standing by the side of the road? in the rain,!!!!!!! How could you do that, meanie. LoL
Sue says Hi to everyone btw!
Lovely roses Dalfyre, I especially like the purple one. I have buds on my 'Blue Moon' rose, it won't be long now!
Blossom, you're so lucky to have a woodland and prarie to walk in, it must be wonderful to go walking on a nice day.
Yep, Terri, didn't mean to but Sh.... happens and there you were waiting cause you reserved the transport too late once again! Now keep in mind when I say we are going to the cabin, we ARE going to the cabin and the train leaves the station. LOL, say hi to Sue for me, miss that gal!

Gauteng DestinationsArcadia, Pretoria
Arcadia is a suburb in Pretoria known for its historical buildings, embassies and hotels. The Union Buildings as well as the President's residence are also situated here.
Interestingly, Andries Francois du Toit was the original owner of the land on which the Union Buildings were built. In addition, he was Pretorias first magistrate and was responsible for the layout of the city. During this period he sold his land, called Arcadia, to Stephanus Jacobus Meintjies after whom the hill in Arcadia is named. The Union Buildings form the official seat of the South African government and also house the offices of the President of South Africa. These grand buildings sit on Meintjies Kop and overlook Pretoria.
Pretoria has the second largest number of embassies in the world, after Washington, D.C., most of which are located in or near Arcadia. The main road is Park Street on which the US Embassy compound can be found. Other attractions situated on Park Street is the spectacular Pretoria Art Museum in its Mid-Century Modernist building, The Gerard Moerdyk Restaurant which serves traditional colonial African meals in a house built in 1920 by this famous architect, as well as Loftus Versfeld Stadium where local and international rugby as well as soccer matches are played and can be seen.
The University of Pretoria is also near Arcadia. With a total of approximately 38 499 students, this university is the country's largest residential university. Arcadia is home to trendy shopping malls, nightclubs to satisfy the abundance of students, upmarket residential areas, world class restaurants and other entertainment facilities. The amenities as well as important monuments and fascinating architectural buildings make Arcadia a must to experience.

In response to WWD Fashion Editor To Michelle Obama: Stop Acting Like An 'Indulged Starlet':
I see the WWD fashion editor, Bridget Foley is getting hit pretty hard in their comment section, over there. It would appear that women who read fashion magazines tend to lean left.
I have to say, though, that Foley's frustration and angst did seem a little silly to me. Who cares THAT MUCH about MO's inauguration fashion choices?! I guess people in her industry have to, but sheesh.
Foley's absolutely correct, of course, that Michelle Obama acts like a spoiled, "indulged starlet" – like she's American royalty, or something.
She did end up looking very nice for the inauguration, but with 15+ designers working for her – she'd better!

Most institutional funds are governed by an investment or finance committee and many families choose to make decisions based on the consensus of a group of family members. Yet, while they outperform retail investors, there is considerable evidence that most institutional funds do not meet their performance objectives and my experience suggests that many families do not manage their money in a decisive, business-like manner. These flaws are often manifested through common mistakes including:
- Frequent hiring and firing of investment managers due to overreliance on short term performance;
- Hiring managers after they have outperformed;
- Moving into asset classes after they have performed well; and
- Abandoning sensible investment strategies at exactly the wrong time.
This paper provides thoughts on how to structure an investment committee or other governing body that is less likely to make these and other common investment mistakes. While I will focus primarily on institutions, families will be well served by following the recommendations discussed herein to the extent possible. Of course, I don't have all of the answers, but what follows represents a blend of my own experience with committees and the writings of some of Wall Street's most astute observers.
Investment versus Finance Committees
Some institutions have separate finance and investment committees while others choose to concentrate the investment and budget/finance functions in a single committee. There are pros and cons of each approach. The primary rationale for a separate investment committee is that it should contain members with specific skills and experience in the investment arena and they should assume direct accountability for the performance of the fund. In contrast, the principal benefit of the combined committee is that it allows for a holistic view of the institution or family that includes the interaction of budget and investment issues. Specifically, some more sophisticated institutions now look at issues such as risk, liquidity, and sensitivity to economic/market shocks on an enterprise basis rather than for the investment fund and operating entity separately. While I have seen both models operate successfully, I come down in favor of a separate investment committee that is truly accountable. However, under this model, it is critical to have strong communication between the two committees and a periodic joint meeting is appropriate.
Size and Membership
Interestingly, there is a large body of academic literature on committees in general, and optimal size in particular. There is some variation in their conclusions but most agree that smaller is better. Specifically, the consensus seems to be that four to six members represents a size that allows for a diversity of skills while also increasing the likelihood of crisp decision making. Some social psychologists recommend an even number of members because that allows for a majority vote without forcing the chair to be the tiebreaker. With regard to term length, most agree that the optimal length of service should balance the value of institutional memory with the energy and new ideas frequently associated with "new blood."
What kinds of people make good investment committee members? Of course, the best committees contain a diverse set of skills and personalities so there is no idea candidate. But, as a point of reference, we divide desirable personal characteristics into three groups: skills/knowledge, personality traits, and behavior. Let's begin with skills/knowledge. Members should have:
- Enough investment knowledge to have an understanding of the nature of the fund, its goals and objectives, and the resulting risk/return characteristics of the investment portfolio
- Some knowledge of the principles of portfolio construction including correlation, diversification, and related topics
- Knowledge of current investment trends and best practices
- Knowledge of specific investment categories as well as general financial savvy
These characteristics clearly suggest that some members of the committee need to be financial professionals, or at a minimum, serve on other committees that provide considerable information on investment trends and practices.
Keen observers of investment committees report that most gravitate toward middle-of-the road, consensus decisions that are comfortable but result in mediocre performance. The best antidote to this tendency is to include members with the following personality traits:
- Intellectual curiosity and a degree of rigor
- The courage to take a controversial or unconventional position
- The ability to balance patience and decisiveness
- An open mind-particularly to new or controversial ideas
A quick reading of these personal characteristics points to knowledgeable, experienced people who are independent, frequently opinionated, and generally decisive. Unfortunately, these traits can also lead to dysfunctional committees because some individuals with these characteristics engage in the following behaviors:
- Dominating the discussion without allowing for the opinions of others
- Imposing their own risk preferences on the committee
- Imposing their own investment or political outlook on the committee
- Over-advocating for a particular investment strategy or manager
So, it is critical that members leave their egos at the door and focus solely on making a significant contribution to the effective functioning of the committee by respecting the input of colleagues and allowing for open discussion. Although sometimes difficult, it is also important for the chair to gently but firmly step in if a member of the committee persists in any of these behaviors.
Of course, finding individuals with all of these traits is easier said than done and some boards may not have members with the requisite skills and experience. For that reason, many institutions and some families now allow for membership on the investment committee by individuals who are not members of the governing board or family. In addition to marshaling the desired skills, this practice also allows for a "free look" at potential future board members. Once you identify suitable members of an investment committee, how do you improve the odds that it will function effectively? I believe the answer lies in effective governance and healthy committee dynamics.
Good Governance
Every fund, either individual or institutional, should be governed by an investment policy statement that governs all aspects of managing the fund. Specifically, it should include, among other things, clear delineation of the responsibilities of the committee, internal staff, consultants, external investment firms, and so on. The responsibilities assigned to the committee should lead directly to a charter that should govern all aspects of its work. And, as should be specifically addressed in both the policy statement and charter, the committee must formally assume direct and collective responsibility for investment performance and risk management. The fund's investment objectives should be specific and quantifiable and performance benchmarks identified.
The Committee should also have a clear policy regarding conflicts of interest. Because investment professionals make logical candidates for membership on investment committees, the committee must determine whether it is acceptable for the firms that employ committee members to manage funds for the institution or family. Similarly, members of the committee should disclose any personal investments with the fund's investment managers or any other business dealings that might give the appearance of a conflict. There should be strong communication between the committee and the entire board regarding the fund's goals, risk tolerance, and the achievement of performance objectives. Perhaps the greatest sin that an investment committee can commit is to surprise the rest of the board with unwelcome news.
Finally, good governance calls for an annual self-evaluation of the performance of the committee as a whole as well as periodic evaluation of each of its members. Given the potential for some of the difficult behavior that was described in the previous section, it is critical to have a mechanism to provide feedback to committee members. In some cases, the chair conducts the evaluation and communicates his or her findings to each member. Another model calls for each member to evaluate every other member with the chair once again providing feedback. A third model is for a separate group, frequently the governance committee, to conduct the individual evaluation process based on inputs from each committee member. One advantage of using a separate group is that it facilitates evaluation of the chair by the remainder of the committee. The actual model used can vary as long as the process allows for anonymous input from members of the committee and candid, constructive feedback to each member.
Committee Dynamics
Unfortunately, having a right-sized committee with well qualified members and an appropriate governance structure does not guarantee success because many committees suffer from poor dynamics. How do you create a healthy atmosphere? The starting point is the committee chair who should be strong but not autocratic. Most institutions limit the term of the chair to 2-3 years in order to ensure that the committee does not become a personal fiefdom with an entrenched leader. Among other things, it is the chair's job to create an environment that is conducive to open and candid discussion. The climate in committee meetings should foster creative thinking, unconventional ideas, and the ability to move in the opposite direction from the Wall Street herd. Committee members should be able to challenge one another as well as external service providers such as investment managers and consultants without fear of ridicule or retribution. All of these things can only occur in an atmosphere characterized by trust, mutual respect, and a collective ethic to do the right thing. Once again, this tone must be set by the chair. It is also important for the chair to keep the discussion moving at an appropriate pace. The committee should have a thorough discussion of critical issues but then must be willing to act decisively and refrain from second-guessing or re-hashing recent decisions. And, it is important to maintain a list of action items with the assignment of specific responsibilities to ensure proper follow-up. Similarly, there should be a formal calendar that requires that both critical investment issues and housekeeping details be reviewed at appropriate intervals.
One of the most important keys to success is allocating committee time to the truly important issues which include the fund's investment objectives and risk tolerance, optimal asset allocation, risk management, and performance evaluation. These are the "make or break" decisions that will largely determine the success of the investment program. In contrast, while certainly interesting to many committee members, presentations by investment managers that focus on market prognostications and discussion of individual securities are often non-productive and unlikely to enhance the performance of the fund.
Keys to Success
In conclusion, the best investment committees have a certain amount of technical expertise combined with an open, intellectually honest atmosphere. Their members have a proclivity to think unconventionally and a willingness to take positions that are contrary to the prevailing wind. They focus on the truly important issues and refrain from the urge to manage rather than govern. Finally, and perhaps most difficult, they maintain their composure during difficult times.

"Irena's Vow" – in Collaboration with Cardinal Stritch University - by Dan Gordon, will be directed by Suzan Fete and feature Julie Swenson as Irena at Cardinal Stritch University's Nancy Kendall Theater, Oct. 26-27, Nov. 2-3 at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 28, Nov. 4 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 adults, $10 seniors and $6 students. For more information or to order tickets, call (414) 410-4171.
Based on the life of Irena Gut Opdyke, this is a remarkable story of a "righteous rescuer" and one triumph of the human spirit over the devastation of the Holocaust. 19-year old Irena Gut is conscripted as housekeeper in the home of a powerful Nazi officer when she finds out that the Jewish ghetto is about to be liquidated. Determined to help 12 Jewish workers, she decides to shelter them in the safest place she can think of: the basement of the German commandant's house. Over the next two years, Irena uses her wit, humor and courage to hide her friends until the end of the German occupation, concealing them in the midst of countless Nazi parties, a blackmail scheme, and even the birth of a child. Her story is one of the most inspiring of our time.
This production, a Milwaukee premiere, is a collaboration with Milwaukee's Renaissance Theaterworks. Renaissance Artistic Director Suzan Fete will direct and professional actors Julie Swenson and Drew Brhel will play the roles of Irena and Major Rugemer.
JeAnnie Smith, the daughter of Irena Gut Opdyke, will be on the Stritch campus for presentation to the students, staff and faculty and will speak to three area high schools on Thursday, October 25th. David Oswald of Cardinal Stritch University remarked "The collaboration (RTW and Cardinal Stritch University) has been an impetus for forging of several partnerships within the external community."
Some of the partnerships include HERC (the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center), the Jewish Museum Milwaukee, and the Polish Center of Wisconsin. The production has been supported by a variety of donors from Jewish, Catholic and Polish organizations and individuals.
"Stritch is honored to bring this powerful story of faith and courage to our stage as we celebrate the University's 75th Anniversary, honor this year's Franciscan value of Peacemaking and focus on the Catholic Church's Year of Faith. From its inception 75 years ago, Stritch has been dedicated to social justice and service of others. In IRENA'S VOW, this moving story reminds us of what one committed individual can accomplish."

This attractive but extremely rare lichen forms erect, dense tufts a few centimetres tall that are brown-black below, then become greyer above towards the branch tips. The non-sorediate, upright branches have spiky spinules growing out at right angles. The medulla is patchy PD+ red. The lichen favours acid sites above 250m with stable mossy boulders, especially granites. It still occurs in Wexford and Donegal but was formerly more widespread.

The MultiTrace software controls the individual potentiostats of our multi channel instruments and the individual working electrodes of polypotentiostats. MultiTrace is based on the PSTrace program for the PalmSens and EmStat instruments.
MultiTrace can utilize the multi potentiostat in two different modes:
1. Simultaneous mode
All potentiostats run the same measurement. The measured curves are displayed in a single plot and stored in a single data file.
2. Individual mode
All potentiostats are used independently. Measurements can be started on all channels with one click, or on each channel individually. Each measured curve is shown in its own plot. Data files can be stored in separate locations for each channel.
A PSTrace window with full capabilities can be opened for each channel individually by double-click on the plot.
A script can be run on each channel separately as well. See tab Scripting for more information.
The polypotentiostat can only be operated in the simultaneously mode, but as an alternative an individual constant potential can be applied to selected working electrodes.
Minimum system requirements
- Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10 (32-bit or 64-bit)
- 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
- 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
In the Individual mode of MultiTrace you can create automated complex experiments for each separate channel.
In the scripting window you can easily arrange your building blocks for automated saving, blank subtraction, peripheral control, peak data saving and many more to create your own method. Automatization of all your methods leads to more stable results and frees up user time for other tasks. Complex electrochemical procedures such as pseudo polarography can be simplified with higher functions such as deposition potential override.

It is a time of deep social conflict in the United States, Mexico, and throughout much of the world. Amid this conflict, The School of Authentic Journalism provides an effective laboratory where we study and teach how to communicate the objectives and stories of social movements that seek to transform the world, and our view of it, for the better. Our work is to tell stories – and help others tell their own stories – in ways that make movements stronger, more effective and victorious.
Favorite perk ($30)
"The Sonet Walker"Novel by Bill Conroy
(Paperback version.) School of Authentic Journalism professor and investigative journalist Bill Conroy's newest science fiction novel is a tale of caution and hope set in a near-future society that is ruled by a ruthless, tyrannical government, which maintains control through a social network called Sonet. The book follows the journeys of Synthia Washington, a seemingly normal teenager who is trying to navigate a chaotic, unforgiving world while also seeking to discover the source of her special gift — which has made her a target of the oppressive government. That gift also has the potential to change the course of her society — and her life in the process. In the end, The Sonet Walker is a thriller written for all ages that also is very relevant to the times we live in today.

As you admire the sky on a dark winter night, you have two choices
about the origin of what you are observing. You can believe it is all a
part of a great accident that scattered galaxies, stars, planets,
moons, and a variety of other objects across space. Or you can believe
that an intelligence created the cosmos with purpose and conscious
design. Both views have their problems and questions. The idea that the
cosmos is an accident does not explain anything about the origin of
time, space, and/or energy. Suggesting that these things have always
been is at odds with scientific law. The suggestion the cosmos is a
product of intelligence and design raises questions about those things
which seem to be poorly designed or destructive in nature.

Earlier this year, as part of the Intel Software Innovators Program, Intel IoT asked me to build Octoblu demos for a SXSW event.
As you may or may not know, SXSW's satellite events and parties are becoming more prominent when compared to the actual festival. So we decided to go all out and resurrect an old art installation that was perfect for a party. The place–called Fractured Future–was rebuilt using Intel Edison and Octoblu!
This is one of the more ambitious projects I've undertaken in such a short period of time (just two weeks!)
Happily, I had some help from some awesome colleagues, Connor Coffman, and Shilpika Chowdhury, without whom it would not have been possible to have this project ready. The original Fractured Future was a collaboration with Connor Coffman, April Surrency and Althea Pergakis.
This new version of Fractured Future is a networked art piece that incorporates light, space, and geometry that demonstrates the power of Octoblu and the Intel Edison platform in a fun creative way.
There are six infinity pyramids, basically like an infinity mirror, but as a pyramid with addressable LEDs that can be controlled by an alien-like futuristic interface. I designed the pyramids and the control console from scratch and fabricated the pieces at HeatSync Labs, a hackerspace in Downtown Mesa (AZ).
With the help of Stewart Christie, the Intel IoT Community Manager who made this all possible, Shilpika, and Connor, we assembled everything in time for the event. Each of the pyramids has an Intel Edison, Fadecandy LED driver, and a battery hidden under a false mirror bottom. They are all independently connected through Octoblu and can be controlled and animated by the console shown below. To change which pyramid you're controlling, you place a different rune (each of which has RFID tags inside) in the center.
The console itself has an Intel Edison inside that is relaying all the sensor data (the motorized faders) and the RFID tag IDs to Octoblu. All of the main logic is built in a single Octoblu flow running in the cloud. I also built a little webpage with sliders that allow you to control the pyramids and the physical motorized faders on the console would shadow what you do. All of this happens real time via Octoblu.
The event was loads of fun and we are very thankful to everyone at Intel who helped make this collaboration happen.
Special thanks to Bob Duffy from Intel! We were really happy to see everyone at the event having fun walking around with these pyramids (they're wireless after all) and seeing the excitement around technology from all the attendees, volunteers, and other developers!
There were some other really great projects at the Intel DevTech Mixer and you can find out more here!
The control console. The logo/poster and the blue vinyl wrap was designed by Shilpika Chowdhury.

Standard Treasury team joined SVB Financial's information technology team this week to help it expand the bank's digital banking platform.
The startup is a provider of application programming interfaces and SVB, in Santa Clara, Calif., hired the team to help it develop its own API banking services. It also acquired certain assets. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
"We view API banking services as a natural progression in how our tech-savvy clients want to work with their banking partners and service providers," Bruce Wallace, chief operations officer of the $37 billion-asset SVB, said in a statement.
The company said it plans to release new API banking services in the coming months that are currently in development by the Standard Treasury team.
The Standard Treasury team is led by Daniel Kimerling and Zachary Townsend. The startup was backed by Y Combinator and was a graduate of Commerce.Innovated, an accelerator backed by SVB and MasterCard.

Today, science students viewing cells in a textbook typically perceive microscopic worlds in the same manner as early Earth inhabitants who, gazing to the horizon, thought the world was flat. Two years ago, HudsonAlpha set a course of scientific discovery for students and introduced iCell. Since then, the interactive app iCell has reached 250,000 downloads on iTunes and more than 300,000 downloads across all platforms. HudsonAlpha iCell allows users to explore animal, bacteria and plant cells in a 3D display.
"The purpose was to help students understand the cell a little better," said Adam Hott, Ed.D., coordinator of educational outreach. "Teachers are telling us students understand the formation and parts of a cell better than they ever have. For a student to truly see and grasp this precept is huge."
In iCell, users may drag, enlarge, shrink and rotate the cell, as well as tap on specific parts of the cell. Descriptions for each part are featured in basic, intermediate and advanced options of level of detail. Educators may also use the app in a classroom setting for teaching and testing.
"As iCell's presence grows, our purpose is broadening to how can we make iCell better, how can we include other types of cells and introduce more functionality and capabilities," Hott said.
The app has been featured across multiple outlets, including being named by Apple as "one of the best" free educational apps. Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News listed iCell in its Best Science Apps column and CBE Life Sciences Education journal named it one of the most recommended cell biology apps available.
HudsonAlpha iCell was developed in partnership with Digital Radiance and is available for free through the iTunes store, the Android Marketplace and Windows 8 store. But digital education at the institute doesn't stop with iCell. The educational outreach team has also developed the Progress of Science interactive timeline and Genome Cache. You can read about them below or follow the links to learn more.
Progress of Science timeline
From domesticating the first animals used for food to creation of the first self-replicating synthetic bacteria, the Progress of Science interactive timeline links history with scientific discovery. Across the centuries, biotechnology's history can be traced in many thousands of stories of discovery — a sampling of which is on the timeline. The timeline was originally developed as a 9-by-42-foot wall mural which is on display on the third floor hallway leading to the educational classroom. "The idea came to our director, Neil Lamb, that if we were going to inspire teachers and leaders and students about genetics and biotechnology, walking them down a sterile white hallway is probably not a good start to the experience," Hott said. "The timeline is just beautiful. It's a work of art."


text: As I mentioned in another thread recently, I noticed a strange difference between my mum's Wii with GX Rev919 and my Wii with GX Rev919 - specifically when I choose Update, I get offered a choice of GX, WiiTDB or Titles. My mum's just goes straight to No Updates Found. I updated my Wii to Rev920 last night by choosing Update All, and it worked great. Just tried to update my mum's to 920, and it said something about a GX WAD file (6MB, my update last night was 4MB and didn't mention WAD files at all), then it failed with error -1029, unable to install WAD. The only other time I ever saw error -1029 was when I tried to use WAD Manager using CIOS249 Rev19 (it doesn't work, I had to use CISO222 for WAD Manager to work), so I wonder if this is related? Why would my mum's Wii and mine exhibit such differences? We were both on GX Rev919 (I double checked in Credits) using CISO249 Rev19, and we both have 4.2E Wii's. How can I get Rev920 onto her Wii?

Hi all!
Well, after finally getting the pool full of water. I am now facing another set of issues. Last night we plugged the pump into the very shoddly done electical outlet and WHAM! Seen a flash up by my AC unit and the pump immediately shut off and wouldn't cut back on. So I ran a drop cord and plugged into AC outlet on the side of the house and it ran fine. Only other problem is that water was spewing from the hose to the pump housing. But DH and I are going to replace all the hosing with PVC pipe like on an I/G. As far as the electrical outlet is concerned. I didnt think you could hook up to the AC unit and that wasn't suppose to be done- he came while I was gone and this is what I came home to. Was suppose to run it to the electrical outlet that was pre-existing on the outside of the house. His excuse was that it was to hard. BTW this dude works for the pool company. I am going to make him redo the entire thing I don't want it hooked to my AC unit. We replaced our AC/Heating system 3 yrs ago
Anywhere here are the pics. I don't think this is up to code. Arrrhhhhh

(Reuters) - A man who wanted his money back after paying to enter a Las Vegas nightclub shot three people, killing one, when the club management refused to make a refund, police said on Monday.
The suspect, later identified as Benjamin Frazier, 41, was wounded when several patrons and club employees wrestled him to the ground during a resulting melee, police said.
He was hospitalized early on Monday but will be taken into custody as soon as he is released, said Jose Hernandez, an officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
"Right now he is facing several charges, including murder," said Hernandez.
The incident began at about 5:30 a.m. when Frazier entered an after-hours club at the Bally's resort on the Las Vegas strip. After initially hesitating over whether to pay the cover charge required for entry, he did pay and entered the club, but quickly became dissatisfied and asked for a refund, police said.
An argument ensued and Frazier pulled out a handgun and began shooting. A club manager, a club security officer and a club patron who tried to tackle him to the ground were all shot.
Hernandez said one of the three men who was shot died after being taken to the hospital.

Cargotec offers spreader-mounted container scanning solution
Cargotec has developed an efficient method of detecting radiation in container cargo that meets U.S. requirements for 100 percent inbound container scanning in all ports by 2012.
With the help of Cargotec's technology, containers can be scanned when lifted, thus terminal operators are able to maintain their current levels of productivity despite being required to scan every box entering the port.
Troy Thompson, President of Cargotec Port Security, explains:
"Very shortly, terminals will need container security solutions that comply with the U.S. container security initiative, but without disrupting the efficiency of the normal flow of commerce within the terminal. The spreader-mounted solution from Cargotec Port Security performs gamma and neutron sensitivity scanning during the movement of the container in the normal ship-to-shore load/unload process, so enabling the port to meet its productivity requirements, and as such it is the right product for this time in the global container handling industry."
US Customs and Border Protection has completed a formal performance evaluation of the spreader-mounted radiation detection system at Port Charleston, South Carolina. Field evaluation resulted in the detection and identification of radiological materials at all points tested across the container, even when radiological material was placed within seven layers of shielding.
The field evaluation conducted at Port Charleston is consistent with the results of an audited analysis of the Cargotec Port Security solution conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
In the Oak Ridge evaluation, the Cargotec Port Security spreader solution demonstrated 100% accuracy, with zero false positives and zero false negatives. Subsequent to this evaluation, the Cargotec Port Security system was awarded the Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (QATT) designation from the US Department of Homeland Security.
Cargotec Corporation formed its Cargotec Port Security subsidiary in April. Cargotec has been exploring and investing in the area of radiation detection in container security for the past two years through its subsidiary Bromma Conquip AB, the world leader in container spreaders. Bromma has an exclusive global technical licensing agreement with U.S.-based Innovative American Technology, one of the few firms able to help terminals meet the technical requirements regarding isotope identification and measurement of isotope characteristics incorporated in recent security legislation in the United States. Cargotec Port Security is working with Innovative American Technology to fully commercialize advanced cargo handling radiation detection.

Information about University of Denver tort law, registering in a technical training program, and taking tests for free online. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Law careers can range from working in a legal setting such as a courtroom doing court reporting or in a law office specializing in tort law, either as an attorney or paralegal. Preparing sound legal advice requires investigation into applicable state and federal tort law regulations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that new job openings in criminal justice will increase by 15% over the next decade. Job opportunities in tort law are plentiful due to rising legal fees, and the fact that more clients are demanding the use of paralegals. Court reporting is an alternative career path, involving transcription during court trials, depositions, and tort law proceedings. Please use the form above to request admissions info for University of Denver.
A paralegal may draft pleadings, deposition notices, subpoenas, and prepare briefs. Paralegals may assist in preparing depositions and other court documents. However, paralegals cannot give legal advice, write tort law, establish legal fees, or sign legal documents. Paralegals generally possess at a minimum, a 2-year associates degree, a bachelor's degree in paralegal studies, or a paralegal certificate. According to the National Federation of Paralegal Associations, the average paralegal salary was $50,496 annually in 2015.

Niall Horan misses One Direction
- Bang Showbiz
- 12 June 2016
Niall Horan misses One Direction "sometimes" but has enjoyed living life on his own schedule
Niall Horan misses One Direction "a little bit".
The 'History' group went on hiatus over six months ago and though the 22-year-old singer sometimes pines for the routine of life in a band, he's having a nice time being able to relax and do what he wants.
He said: "Sometimes you kind of miss it - having a bit of a regime. For the last six months, I've been my own boss and rolling out of bed whenever I want... and not having to think too much.
"I do miss it a little bit but it's been nice to be able to sit around."
Though he hasn't got a definite plan for a solo album, Niall has been enjoying working on new material in the recording studio, though he insists he hasn't "done much" as he's happy just "chilling out" right now.
He said: "I've been in the studio writing bits and pieces.
"Nothing is really in the pipeline in particular, just keeping the mind ticking over and doing what I like. I've always been into the writing and trying out different things musically.
"I've made relationships with a few writers over the years so its been good calling them up saying, 'Do you want to write?' then popping into the studio.
"I haven't done much, about five sessions maybe. I've just been chilling out."
And Niall's pop career may have to take a back seat anyway as he's got his hands full with his new golf talent agency.
He told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I've really been working on the golf management company, trying to get that off the ground. We're making some big announcements in the summer."

JONESBORO (RUGBYMag.com) - Zac Mizell is one of a handful of current college players selected to the ARC squad. For him and Arkansas State teammate Dean Gericke, also selected, finagling two-and-a-half weeks away from class took some luck.
"Our teachers are actually really cool about it," said Mizell. "They're letting me submit my work online so I can still go."
This time last year, few college rugby onlookers even knew who Mizell was, but a 7s season and a two-try performance in the DI-A final against BYU later, he's getting his shot to impress the Eagle coaching staff, and it's an opportunity that's snuck up on him.
I didn't get to play that much in the All Americans because I had a concussion for the first game, so I didn't get to show much there," said Mizell. "I was actually surprised that they selected me, but I'm really excited to get to go play international rugby, because it's a level that I've never been at before. It's something I can learn from."
