Open Letter to the Main Stream Media: We are not amateurs and we are going to kick your butts.
We have watched you for years try to tell us how to think, what to think, who to vote for and what to believe based solely on your own agenda. In past years, you have come to think of yourselves as the fourth branch of government, the movers and shapers of opinion and the arbiters of truth.
In case you have not been watching, America is sick and tired of you. We are turning away from you in record numbers. Your audience and readership is declining faster than you can say the word 'bias', and instead of recognizing the trend, you have only become further entrenched and determined to force society to play by your rules.
Technology has allowed us to ignore you, and in many cases, replace you altogether. I grew up watching Walter Cronkite every night, not yet aware of his agenda, his bias and his overwhelming desire to turn the nation against its leaders unless they agreed with him. I saw him replaced by the most dishonest, agenda-driven anchorman this nation has ever produced. That Dan Rather is one of you should be enough to make you feel dirty.
You believe yourselves to be solely qualified to pontificate on the day-to-day events going on around the world as if journalism school gives you a special insight into the truth. When I was in college, people went to J-school only if they flunked out of business school and did not want to become teachers.
Well guess what?
The world is on to you.
Persons with knowledge and experience are not only ignoring you, but replacing you as sources of information. These sources, which don't need anything but their personal experiences and skills when sharing information with the public; persons who have spent more time learning and doing than you ever will, are generally more accurate and informative than you know how to be.
The Internet and Blogosphere would scare you, if you were smart enough or honest enough to know better.
People with practical knowledge and experience discussing current and historical events with more ability than you, are sharing more factual and in-depth information, and at a rate which you could never compete. We are relegating many of you to overpaid gossip mongers, while you don't want to acknowledge that we are eating your lunch.
You take polls, trying to convince us of what people are thinking as you have always done, but now, knowledgeable people are analyzing your methodology, your weighing and sampling and pointing out if your polls are to be believed. You can no longer expect what you say to be taken for gospel, because we are no longer amateurs about information. Someone, somewhere on a little web site is going to smoke you out, report your biases, and make you less believable than you once were. Count on it.
You can tell us that Swift Boat Veterans for truth are liars, and NOBODY is going to believe you just because you say it. Have you checked the Non Fiction Best Sellers lists lately? But even then, we know enough now to notice when book sales are based on giveaways, fund-raisers, pre-orders and the like, to notice when you want to push sales of your favorite liberal author when their book sheds no light, tells no truth, shares no facts, but only advances what you want us all to think about you and yours. We are not buying it anymore.
I'm writing this, because I know you are watching. Just as you watched last week when one of us 'amateurs' beat you at your own game. It happens here all the time. Free Republic is not a group of 'amateurs' or nutcases, as you like to think of us. This board is a slice of America, filled with people from all walks of life, whose cumulative knowledge dwarfs that of you and your 'hired experts'. I was offended to read your reaction to people here and at the Blogs who shared what started here regarding your fraudulent flunky Dan Rather, and his attempt to pass off what was clearly a forged document as legitimate news.
You attempted to deride us, not take us seriously, dismiss us as partisans (which is apparently only a bad thing if one is conservative) and generally ignore the wealth of information we passed along to the public about one of yours trying to pull the wool over our eyes. We nailed Dan Rather, not you, and you can't stand it.
Last week, you tried to suggest that Republicans booed Bill Clinton after Bush wished him well. We caught you. We got in your face and made you take it back, because you lied. Don't you hate that? We Internet-based losers made you back down, when you felt totally free to mislead the nation about the behavior of some you don't agree with.
It is only going to get worse for you.
You can no longer tell us anything, and expect to be believed without question. You can no longer mix your agendas into your 'news' and expect to get away with it. We may not catch you every time, but eventually we will, and then many of you are going to have to get real jobs. And when you do, you are going to need more than the ability to mislead, lie, slander and ignore people who don't agree with you. In the future, expect for Blogs like Instapundit and others to be on you like a fly on stink when you attempt to mislead us.
Yesterday, you attempted to paint the young LT. Bush as a poor pilot, because he attempted multiple landings a few times while flying a training jet. Stories like this are the reason why Network News has lost half of its audience over the last 10 years. Could not one of you pampered info-princes figure out that a military pilot WANTS to practice landings as much has he/she possibly can? I guess not, when you are blinded by ideology to the degree that any information you receive can only be interpreted in the negative.
You want to call Bush AWOL, but you don't want to talk about his hundreds of flying hours in a jet that has killed lesser aviators, you only want to discuss what furthers your agenda, because you know that when Democrats win, YOU are in charge. You don't want to talk about our President's Master's Degree from Harvard while at the same time Al Gore could not hack Divinity school.
Don't you wish you could regulate us? We know you spend your nights praying to the gods of the Fairness Doctrine, hoping to silence us. Sorry, but we are here, and we are not going anywhere. Too bad we can't say the same for you. It is you who is being silenced as your audience is paying more attention to us, and tuning you OUT. Fox News is in 50 million fewer homes, but they managed to beat you silly during the Republican Convention. How did that happen? US; that's how. Because of us, the Internet, the Blogosphere, Talk Radio and others, the nation no longer see you as the gatekeepers of information.
Take a lesson MSM, though it hurts, try a little fairness. Give balance a shot, and stop being a mouthpiece for the liberal agenda. Pretend if you must, that Conservatives are not Neanderthals long enough to get through a news segment. I know it must hurt to not be able to prove your superiority to us in all that you do and say, but try it.
Finally, just embrace the horror, folks. You might actually learn something from us merry bands of 'amateur' journalists. You see, we don't have an audience to please. We don't have to sell ad-space, or get face-lifts to keep our jobs. That leaves us free to share information on the subjects we might know a little something about without angering our liberal masters. On Free Republic, you can at times find as many threads angry at Republicans as you can Democrats. We don't have to hire experts, if we don't know something, we can ask a fellow FReeper or use Google, much faster than you can pay someone to tell you what you want to hear.
On Free Republic alone, there are experts in many fields. We have writers, poets, engineers, aviators, artists, journalists, (they keep that on the down-low), lawyers, historians, teachers, politicians, current and former members of all branches of the military; all who actually know what they are talking about without having a script (or DNC talking points) shoved in their face.
The choice is yours, MSM. You can join us in working to share information with a hungry audience, or you can be replaced. We don't need Nielson, just a web site and an idea. Instead of insulting the remainder of your dwindling viewers, readers and listeners, why don't you just agree to cut the crap, stop the parroting of the NY Times long enough to do your own work, and finally decide to become REAL journalists again.
I'm not saying we are journalists; we have jobs and careers beyond 'he-said-she-said'. We do like to share what we know, and we don't even get it right every time. However, the truth is in the numbers. We have them and they are growing, while yours are shrinking more rapidly every day. If you don't change your ways and soon, you are going to become irrelevant before this decade is over. Many of you already are. We only tune in to 'Petah' Jennings to watch him bravely strain to keep his composure whenever he has to report a Democrat election defeat. On a good night Chris Matthews total viewership barely equals the number of viewers on the Oxygen network.
The trends are in our favor. If you don't wise up, we will kick your agenda-driven ass.
I'm Pukin Dog.
Hey, why aren't you at Hook?
Memo to Old Media:
We know you're tired. We know you're old. We know you're irrelevant.
Only you can change that. Otherwise expect those pajama bloggers to kick your arses from now until you all retire.
A good start for you all might be to ask Kerry to sign Form #180. Bush did. Do your darned jobs or be forever irrelevant.
The internet is great, isn't it?
The ability to voluntarily and collectively pool resources and gather knowledge, without having to depend on the MSM, is an amazing evolution in communication and individual empowerment.
And free speech has never been more apparant or more potent.
"We" ARE gonna kick their butts, but the fight will be long and arduous, IMHO...
Oh, man. I really didn't wanna know that you were in your pajamas. :)
Awesome vent.
Another freeper has already likened this to a 21st century BOSTON TEA PARTY!!!
That's fandamntastic!
I'm bookmarking this. May even share it. I hope it takes on a life of its own and becomes another "Angry American".
(Good rant buddy!)
Bravo, Well Done!
Great job, PD.
President Bush warned the UN too. They didn't listen.
This is the media's last chance. Truly, with the exception of a few people who are in their 70's, I don't know anyone who gets their news from Old Media. They are so yesterday.
That's a good rant, but how do we know this post is authentic. Could it have been forged? These letters don't look like any ordinary word processor. This is too high tech. I'm going to Dan Blather with this. :)
Nice rant. Its reminds me of the pre-battle scene in "Braveheart".
ping for fun
Bumped AND bookmarked!
Great rant/vent!
Get well soon eh.

A Lie of Reinvention: Correcting Manning Marable's Malcolm X: Including An Essay From Kamau K. Franklin
A Lie of Reinvention: Correcting Manning Marable's Malcolm X is a response to Manning Marable's biography of Malcolm X, A Life of Reinvention. Marable's book was controversially acclaimed by some as his magna opus. At the same time, it was denounced and debated by others as a worthless read full of conjecture, errors, and without any new factual content. In this collection of critical essays, editors Jared Ball and Todd Steven Burroughs lead a group of established and emerging Black scholars and activists who take a clear stance in this controversy: Marable's biography is at best flawed and at worst a major setback in American history, African American studies, and scholarship on the life of Malcolm X.
In the tradition of John Henrik Clarke's classic anthology "William Styron's Nat Turner: Ten Black Writers Respond," this volume provides a striking critique of Marable's text. In 1968, Clarke and his assembled writers felt it essential to respond to Styron's fictionalized and ahistorical Nat Turner, the heroic leader of one of America's most famous revolts against enslavement. In A Lie of Reinvention, the editors sense a different threat to an African American icon, Malcolm X. This time, the threat is presented as an authoritative biography. To counter the threat, Ball and Burroughs respond with a barbed collection of commentaries of Marable's text.
The essays come from all quarters of the Black community. From behind prison walls, Mumia Abu-Jamal revises his prior public praise of Marable's book with an essay written specifically for this volume. A. Peter Bailey, a veteran journalist who worked with Malcolm X's Organization for Afro-American Unity, disputes how he is characterized in Marable's book. Bill Strickland, who also knew Malcolm X, provides what he calls a "personal critique" of the biography. Younger scholars such as Kali Akuno, Kamau Franklin, Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua, Christopher M. Tinson, Eugene Puryear and Greg Thomas join veterans Rosmari Mealy, Raymond Winbush, Patricia Reid-Merritt, Amiri Baraka, Margo Arnold, and Karl Evanzz in pointing out historical problems and ideological misinterpretations in Marable's work. AVAILABLE MAY 2012!

Metro Vancouver directors have voted against shifting to a province-wide 911 levy on all phone lines that would have brought higher fees for many households.
The proposal for a universal call-answer levy was spearheaded by the Union of B.C. Municipalities to help extend 911 service to the remaining five per cent of B.C. without it and to directly charge mobile phone users who make up a growing share of 911 calls, many of them unintentional "pocket dials."
Metro Vancouver households now pay $4 per year as a property tax levy to generate $3.9 million to run the E-Comm regional 911 service.
That would have been eliminated from the property tax bill but every phone line – mobile or landline – would be charged 20 to 50 cents a month, plus administration fees by telecom firms.
"It would cost our residents a lot more money to do that," said Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore Friday as the Metro board defeated the proposal.
He noted his family has six different cellphones and landlines and a 50 cent per month fee – $6 a year per line – would mean they'd pay $36 per year instead of $4 now.
A business with a large number of employee cellphones might be hit with a sudden bill running into hundreds of dollars, he added.
"It is just a tax grab," Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said, adding it would greatly increase a "very minimal" Metro-levied fee that has worked well.
Metro's current 911 property tax levy is equivalent to 20 cents per phone line, but a consistent per line levy across the province would have to be higher because 911 services in other regions are not as efficient as E-Comm, which has large economies of scale from serving the Lower Mainland.
Regional administrators said they can't currently justify raising more money for E-Comm, if more money raised from the Lower Mainland were to be plowed back into the 911 service.
Another concern is an estimated seven cent per month administration fee could redirect an extra $1 million per year from Metro households to phone companies.
Some directors, including Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, said they support the principle of shifting 911 costs from the property tax bill to actual phone users, and said UBCM should study the idea further.
Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said a few extra dollars per year shouldn't make much difference to people who often pay $50 and up per month for a cellphone.
"It's a very modest fee," Dhaliwal said. "I believe the concept is right, the principles are right."
Accidental 911 calls, usually dialed unintentionally from a pocket or bag, consume large amounts of E-Comm dispatchers' time ensuring there is no emergency.
It's the third time Metro has rejected the idea of a universal call answer levy across B.C. Any such reform led by UBCM needs support of a majority of regional districts by population to advance, so Metro has an effective veto.

Ireland's first live 5G demo hosted by Vodafone at Dublin's Trinity College
Ireland's first successful live demonstration of 5G technology was carried out at an event in Dublin's Trinity College.
Vodafone Ireland and Ericsson achieved 15 Gigabit per second speeds with a latency of less than five milliseconds at the Douglas Hyde Gallery.
In addition to showcasing "the 5G speeds of the future", Vodafone also tested pre-standard 5G across its recently acquired 3.6GHz spectrum.
A range of real-life customer applications for 5G technology were highlighted at Wednesday's immersive demonstration of future technology.
Chief Technology Officer, Vodafone Ireland's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Madalina Suceveanu said that "the first successful trial of pre-standard 5G is an essential step forward in achieving our vision of a Gigabit Society for Ireland".
"As our network evolves toward 5G it will become even faster and more resilient, will have significantly lower latency, and will allow a huge number of devices to connect simultaneously," she said.
Over time, it is expected that 5G will gradually drive super-high speed broadband and media, help connect massive numbers of devices, enable the provision of faster, secure, reliable and robust connectivity and help provide ultra-low latency for human machine interaction.
The healthcare – and education – industry in particular was highlighted as a sector that could benefit from the advancements in technology.
Opportunities were explored which include the enablement of doctors to operate in a VR environment using a haptic glove, while students join the class through VR glasses to experience the operation.
Head of Ericsson Ireland John Griffin said that 5G will offer a raft of benefits both for consumers and businesses.
"Through these trials, Vodafone can evaluate 5G technology and its opportunities to provide better services to consumers and businesses prior to the commercial deployment of 5G," he said.
"In addition, these trials will provide us with insights about what use cases will benefit from 5G in the future."

I'm having a little trouble staying on task lately. I had a "beet the winter blues" post under way, but couldn't polish it off. Then I decided to tackle "the differences between boys and girls." After a couple of days wrestling with that one, I had an epiphany. The differences are monumental, endless, glorious and can be represented by a marshmallow. Unfortunately, those random thoughts were too difficult to gather together and put into sentence form. But I'll work on that, as it's food-related and worthy of further contemplation.
Here's the problem. I'm distracted and can't seem to stay focused. I think I'm lamenting the passing of the decade. A whole decade of my life just whizzed by and I hardly had time to notice.
Yes, a whole decade. That's TEN years. And don't give me that stuff about how the decade really isn't over until the end of 2010. You could make that argument if you want to go all the way back to 1 AD (or 0 AD), but it doesn't matter, ten years is a decade and it's over. To add insult to injury, ten years ago was the turn of a century. So the first decade of this century is over. Doesn't that sound significant?
What do you have to show for it? Were there any profound lessons learned? When 2000 dawned, did you have lofty goals for the next decade? Did you accomplish the things you set out to do?
So much for losing 5 pounds (my current goal, which sounds rather trivial right now). I want to climb a big mountain. Rainier, Fuji, Orizaba – something like that.
Melissa's 2010 Bucket List in no particular order
• Climb a big mountain
• Finish the last 250 miles of the Colorado Trail
• Complete advanced yoga teacher training
• Climb Colorado's 14ers
• Write a book
• Lead transformational workshops (long story)
• Get over my jitters of public speaking
• Build a cabin in the mountains
• Nurture friendships, treasure family time and meet some of my blogging friends
• Volunteer at the American Mountaineering Center
• Ski more
• Get involved with the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum and Hall of Fame
• Have dinner with Charles Krauthammer (don't ask)
What's on your bucket list? Tell me – you might win a prize.
If you don't want to think about it, here's a pesto recipe instead.
spinach pesto
what you need
4 cloves garlic
2 cups packed baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
1/4 cup fresh dill
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese (or a blend of Parmesan, Fontina and Asiago)
3 tablespoons raw pine nuts
freshly ground black pepper
what you do
1. Chop garlic in food processor, add spinach, herbs and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Pulse to chop finely. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until slightly smooth. Drizzle over cooked potatoes or use as a dressing for potato salad (or whatever else comes to mind).
Go forth with bucket list in hand. Don't let the next decade pass without accomplishing your goals and realizing your dreams.
P.S. Yes, I realize a bucket list has nothing to do with buckets.

So, you are probably asking yourself, "How does the system work?" The answer is actually quite simple and is as follows.
A solar systems produces more power than you use during the daytime and exports the excess power to the grid. You get credit for this excess power at night and on cloudy days. When your system is not producing more than you need, you will buy power back from the grid and use these credit. A utility net meter tracks the power imported and exported to the grid. Your utility company will bill you for the "net" consumption of the billing period and also give you credit for any excess during a billing cycle in which you can carry for up to one year.

For your convenience, you may also request more information from this site.
What is an off-grid power system?
An off-grid power system is a generating system that provides electrical power to a home or site that does not have access to the power grid. In its simplest form it would be a fossil fueled generator. However, due to the high cost of fossil fuels most off-grid systems today consist of generators, inverters, batteries and alternative energy sources such as wind and solar. These systems provide continuous power and are often automatic in operation. When designed properly these systems minimize fossil fuel consumption in the generation electrical power.
Remote Off-Grid Building with Solar Electricity in Chico, CA:
You are ready to build on your Chico land, only there is no utility power available? What are your options? You can ask your local utility to extend new power lines, but the cost is prohibitive, for example, the Pacific Gas & Electric Utility of California now estimates $75,000 per mile to extend new power lines and then you pay electric bills for the rest of your life. Your monthly bill growing as the utility rates increase. Or you can use an engine generator as a source of power, however the cost of fuel and maintenance is high for generators, and this can be difficult but not impossible to get away from the noise and pollution it produces. By going off-grid with Wing Solar & Wood Energy, Inc. you can dramatically reduce your energy costs.
Solar Electric Power Systems in Chico, CA:
Solar electric systems are reliable, silent, pollution-free, and are extremely low maintenance. A typical stand-alone power system includes solar electric modules, safety switchgear, batteries and a DC to AC inverter. Solar electric photovoltaic (PV) modules convert sunlight directly into electricity and the inverter conditions that electricity into the household current.
System Reliability in Chico, CA:
With no moving parts, PV power systems utilize solid state-of-the-art technology and are extremely reliable. Most solar electric modules have a 40 year design-life and are covered by a 25 year warranty. Solar systems are easily expandable should your need for power increase in the future. Solar is property tax free.
Hybrid Power Systems in Chico, CA:
Because solar electric generators produce electricity only in the daytime, your off-grid system utilizes a bank of large, deep-cycle batteries to store the electricity produced during the day, for use at night, or on overcast days. Additionally, other sources of power, such as a wind generator, or engine generator can be used as a suitable source of backup power to supplement the solar system during winter months. The inverter controls automatically start and stop of the engine generator to keep your batteries fully charged when the solar wind is insufficient.
The FLEXmax Family By Outback Power in Chico, CA:
As the very latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking the FLEXmax family of charge controllers by Outback are designed to increase your photovoltaic power by up to 30%. When you demand a high performance, efficient and versatile charge controller for power system, FLEXmax is your solution. Contact Wind Solar & Wood Energy, Inc. to learn more.
Wind Power in Chico, CA:
Wind generators are subject to property tax. As the wind is an indefinite part of nature, the reliability of wind power is also indefinite. Wind works well with solar as wind blows more in the winter, when the sun is shining the least.
"Eddy" By Urban Green Energy in Chico, CA:
Manufactured by Urban Green Energy, a leader in small wind energy, "Eddy" will reduce your energy consumption. It will keep your Chico home warm in the winter while also making a huge contribution to saving our environment. Eddy can also be assembled in less than an hour and be mounted virtually anywhere.

Solar Water Heating in Chico, CA:
Residential hot water systems can use solar collectors to preheat the water that is coming in to your existing gas or electric water heater. The warmer the water coming from the solar pre-heater, the less gas or electricity is required to heat the water to the desired temperature. During the summer months, a properly sized solar hot water system will provide almost 100% of a Chico households needs, and on an annual basis they will provide approximately 60% - 70% of the energy needed to heat household water. Solar hot water works well with an Outside Wood Fire Water Furnace.
Solar Assist/Gas, Oil or Wood Furnace Backup System in Chico, CA:
In-floor radiant space heating uses hot water delivered to tubing built into the floor to heat your Chico home. Because radiant heating heats objects and not the air, it is much more efficient than conventional forced-air furnaces. While the initial cost is higher (typically 30% - 40%) than conventional heating, the annual operating cost of radiant heating is nearly 20% - 30% less.
Over the life of the home, radiant floor heating pays for itself without using solar energy. Now consider that a radiant heating system can use solar heated water and produce 50% or more, of your space heating needs. (employing a backup gas, oil or wood fire furnace hot water source)
Solar Pool Filtration Package in Chico, CA:
Solar powered pool filtration pumping packages allow you the luxury of a swimming pool on remote building sites in Chico, CA. A solar electric pool pumping system uses energy efficient DC pumps to perform pool filtration. Because the pump is connected directly to the solar panels, it starts running shortly after sunrise and continues until shortly before sunset. These systems run longer during summer days.
Solar Water Pumping For Wells in Chico, CA:
Another crucial factor in the decision to build 'off-grid' is the availability of water. Where it is feasible to drill a well, solar electric water pumping is also an economical way of pumping that water out of the ground. There are many different types of solar water pumping systems, from lower-flow deep well DC submersible pumps, to higher yield AC surface pumps for various agriculture and aquaculture applications. Your daily water requirements, the amount of sunshine available at your Chico location, the total vertical lift, the horizontal run, the well 'yield' and the size of your pipeline, must all be factored into designing the most economical pumping package to best meet your agricultural and residential needs.
Energy Efficient Lighting & Appliances in Chico, CA:
One of the most effective ways to reduce the size, and the cost of a solar system is to reduce your need for electricity by using energy efficient lights and appliances. While other more basic strategies include orienting the building to maximize southern exposure for solar space heating, super-insulation and day-lighting to reduce daytime lighting loads.
Life-Cycle Cost in Chico, CA:
Solar power systems are less expensive to own and operate than an engine generator. While the upfront cost of an engine generator is less than a solar electric power system, over the life of the engine generator, the cost of fuel, maintenance, and replacement parts exceed the cost of a solar electric generator.

Forget the auto shows in Los Angeles and Tokyo. Those are for squares. The real hotness is in China at the Guangzhou Auto Show. That's where you'll see concept cars like the Guangzhou Auto WitStar Concept, which has a fish tank inside. A FISH TANK.
How many Chevrolets or Subarus had fish tanks in LA or Tokyo? Precisely none, that's how many. China is where you must go to satisfy your dream of in-car fish viewing.
Friend of Jalopnik Tycho over at Car News China has the scoop on the WitStar, a hybrid-electric gull-winged crossover that packs a tank full of fish in the rear seat for a legitimate reason. Well, legitimate as far as crazy Chinese automaker logic goes, anyway.
You see, the WitStar has autonomous driving technology. They included the fish tank to prove that the car is capable of avoiding obstacles on the road. Because a crash could break the tank and kill all the fish inside, the inclusion of the tank was done to show just how safe it is.
Like I said, crazy Chinese automaker logic. I love it. Head over to CarNewsChina for more details on this amazing machine, which I hope will spur more car companies to put fish tanks in their automobiles. I'm so bored with just driving with my dog. I need exciting new in-car pet action.

Biologists decode turtle genome
A group of 50 researchers from around the globe, including biology professors Daniel Warren, Ph.D., from Saint Louis University and Leslie Buck, Ph.D., from the University of Toronto, have spent the last several years sequencing and analyzing the genome of the western painted turtle and the results of their research point to some important conclusions that may be important for human health.
The western painted turtle, one of the most widespread and well-studied turtles, exhibits an extraordinary ability to adapt to extreme physiological conditions and it is that adaptability that might have a direct relevance to human health conditions, particularly those related to oxygen deprivation and hypothermia and longevity.
Warren, an assistant professor in SLU's Department of Biology, shared the background of the research and its importance in medical treatments.
"This remarkable turtle has the ability to survive without oxygen longer than any other air-breathing vertebrate for as long as four months when they overwinter under the ice of their frozen ponds," Warren said. "Many human diseases, however, involve tissue damage caused by oxygen deprivation, such as occurs with stroke and heart attack."
"Our contribution to the Genome Biology study was to carry out an experiment here at SLU, to identify genes in the turtle's heart and brain that might account for the abilities to avoid this tissue damage," Warren added. "We focused our efforts especially on those genes that are also present in our own human genome."
Buck, associate chair of Graduate Studies in the department of Cell and Systems Biology at the University of Toronto, and co-investigator on the study, said the painted turtle's ability to survive without oxygen has important implications related to the use of anesthetics on human patients.
"The turtle's brain naturally survives without oxygen (anoxia) during this period and this makes it a great model to study the ways we can protect human brain from the debilitating effects of stroke," Buck said. "And there's more. When faced with low oxygen conditions it rapidly lowers metabolism by over 90 percent, similar to the effect of anesthetics during human surgeries. It may therefore also be a natural anesthetic model in which we can explore safer forms on anesthesia."
"Our RNA sequencing data in the genome paper reveals over 13000 genes in common with humans and 19 genes that increase their activity in turtle brain and 23 in heart following 24 hours of anoxia. One even increases 130 fold above controls giving us excellent leads to follow in our study of the mechanisms underlying natural anoxia tolerance," Buck added.

By STEVE KARNOWSKI Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minneapolis police officer has been charged with manslaughter and vehicular homicide for a crash in July that killed an innocent motorist while the officer was pursuing a stolen vehicle, a prosecutor announced Friday.
Officer Brian Cummings was driving nearly 80 mph (129 kph) in Minneapolis with his siren and lights activated when his squad car slammed into another vehicle, killing 40-year-old Leneal Frazier, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said in a statement. The crash ended a chase that lasted more than 20 blocks, including through residential neighborhoods where the posted speed limit is 25 mph.
"Police are supposed to protect and serve citizens, and to act in a manner consistent with their sworn oath to do so. Officer Cummings' actions deviated from his oath and his negligence caused the death of Leneal Frazier," Freeman said.
During Cummings' chase, Frazier's Jeep entered an intersection on a green light. According to investigators, the driver of the stolen vehicle narrowly missed Frazier's Jeep before the squad car struck it on the driver's side. An accident reconstruction report said the fatal collision "can be attributed to the Defendant for failure to operate his vehicle with due regard for the safety of other motorists."
Mayor Jacob Frey said after Frazier's death that the city would review its pursuit policy, and that review was still ongoing Friday. A police spokesman said this summer that the policy was properly followed in the chase, but the complaint clearly suggested that prosecutors don't think it was by quoting directly from the policy:
"Officers shall not initiate a pursuit or shall terminate a pursuit in progress if the pursuit poses an unreasonable risk to the officers, the public or passengers of the vehicle being pursued who may be unwilling participants."
Cummings' attorney, Tom Plunkett, said Cummings was pursuing a suspect in a "violent carjacking" and that the occupants had been "on a crime spree, a practice that has unfortunately become too common in Minneapolis."
The city's police union didn't immediately respond to a message.
Frazier was the uncle of Darnella Frazier, whose cellphone video of Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck was viewed worldwide and helped launch a global protest movement against racial injustice. Chauvin was convicted of murder and sentenced this year in Floyd's 2020 death.
The Frazier family, which had called for Cummings to be prosecuted in Frazier's death, welcomed the charges as a first step toward justice, according to their lawyers, Ben Crump and Jeff Storms.
"The Frazier family and our legal team are grateful for the charges brought against Brian Cummings for the reckless killing of Leneal Frazier," they said in a statement. "We commend the Hennepin County Attorney's Office for having the courage to hold law enforcement accountable in this instance. No innocent civilian should ever lose their life because of unwarranted high-speed chases in residential neighborhoods."
Both charges against Cummings carry a presumptive prison sentence of four years under state sentencing guidelines. Jail records show he was released on his own recognizance without bail required and has a hearing set for Nov. 9.
The department's policy manual allows pursuits for "serious and violent crimes." including robbery, and "flagrantly reckless driving that is life-threatening to the public." The complaint said the stolen vehicle was suspected in thefts from businesses that involved "some limited use of force" but none involving weapons or resulted in injuries. Chases for simple auto theft are not allowed.
Freeman made a fresh plea Friday for law enforcement across the state to change their pursuit policies, saying they don't do enough to protect human life. He said responses to previous criticism had been "weak and ineffective." He said Minnesota agencies reported 40 fatal injuries resulting from pursuits from 2013-2020.
"This must stop," Freeman wrote. "Pursuits must be reserved for only the most serious crimes and cases."
The charges against Cummings came a day after former Minneapolis police Officer Mohamed Noor was resentenced on a manslaughter charge in the 2017 death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, who was shot minutes after she had called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home. They also came ahead of a Nov. 2 vote in which Minneapolis residents will decide whether to replace the city's police department with a new public safety unit.
Associated Press writer Gretchen Ehlke in Milwaukee contributed to this report.

Once, I put a curse on a beastly and arrogant high school boy. That one turned out all right. Others didn't.
I go to a new school now—one where no one knows that I should have graduated long ago. I'm not still here because I'm stupid; I just don't age.
You see, I'm immortal. And I pretty much know everything after hundreds of years—except for when to take my powers and butt out.
I want to help, but things just go awry in ways I could never predict. Like when I tried to free some children from a gingerbread house and ended up being hanged. After I came back from the dead (immortal, remember?), I tried to play matchmaker for a French prince and ended up banished from France forever. And that little mermaid I found in the Titanic lifeboat? I don't even want to think about it.
Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably shouldn't get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core. I think I have just the thing to fix that girl—and it isn't an enchanted pumpkin. Although you never know what will happen when I start . . . bewitching. -quoted from Goodreads

British audio company Audient has teamed up with leading cab simulation pioneers, twonotes audio engineering to present Sono, the ultimate audio interface for guitarists.
Combining Audient's award-winning analogue and digital conversion recording technology with the world's best speaker-cab simulation from twonotes, Sono is home to the ultimate valve guitar preamp. Featuring an on-board 12AX7 analogue valve and 3-band Tone control alongside twonotes Torpedo power amp modelling and cab simulation, Sono provides countless tonal options for guitarists, whether they're recording, practising or gigging.
"With twonotes, the creative possibilities are endless and you can really start dialling in the tones you hear in your head," says marketing manager, Andy Allen. "Choose from a wide range of guitar and bass cab models based on classics such as the Marshall 4×12, Fender 2×12 or Ampeg Fridge, with more tones downloadable from Torpedo Remote if needed. You can even customise everything from the room type, microphone model and placement too, and once you're happy with your sound, you can store your favourite presets onboard Sono and play them in standalone mode at any time – without the need for a computer."
With near zero latency, Sono doesn't get in the way of creativity. Monitor mix allows blending between the guitar input signal and DAW playback, ensuring delay-free recording, playback, and monitoring, enabling the artist to stay in the creative zone with none of the latency problems you get when tracking with software.
In addition, Audient encourages Sono users to integrate their existing pedalboard. Andy explains, "Plug in your favourite distortion, reverb and delay pedals directly into Sono's D.I, dial up a tone and instantly start recording or jamming without the need to mic up and play through a noisy amp (or annoy your neighbours).
"However, if you do want to record in the more traditional sense, Sono will always record a clean D.I signal, so you can capture your performances as creativity strikes and reamp through your favourite hardware amps later without the need to buy a dedicated re-amp box," says Andy.
Guillaume Pille, twonotes owner, has been a fan of Audient for some time. "Audient interfaces have long been in our list of benchmark products used to try out our plugins and hardware units," he says. "Today, the whole twonotes team is very excited to present what we think is the perfect interface, not only for the guitarist and bassist, but also for any musician who wants to bring colour into his recordings."
Alongside the more guitar-centric features, Sono is a powerful interface in its own right, with two Audient console mic pres for studio quality recordings, expandability up to 10 inputs via ADAT for recording drums, class-leading converters as well as the unique 'to valve' feature. "Try routing vocal microphones or synths through the classic valve preamp, analogue EQ and twonotes processing and start creating crazy new sounds or simply add that classic analogue warmth to your recordings," adds Andy.
"Sono is all about developing creativity and providing an easy-to-use gateway into the world of professional audio recording. It really is a fun tool for guitarists and engineers alike. With Sono anything is possible."
Sono is expected to ship in the first quarter of 2019 and will retail at USA MAP $449.

Close Encounters
I was admiring his seat stays- they were fetchingly curved, and I was wondering if that was some kind of "aero" fad, or just decorative. As I was thinking of pulling out my camera, and a bit worried about taking a picture of some random guy's tush, I realized-
It was the Scientist!
I suppose he wouldn't have minded if I took a picture.
But instead we rode home together.
It was a lovely night, much cooler than this morning- perfect for riding with someone you love!

This has happened to me before. Hilarious!ReplyDelete
Isn't the weather PERFECT?

to answer your original question -- the idea behind curved seat stays is that it should provide better shock absorption than straight stays and some modicum of suspension. The science on that is fairly quirky and suspect, and for bum comfort, you're likely to get more value from running tires rated for a lower PSI or a more conforming saddle -- but it lingers purely as an aesthetic detail. They sure can be fetching.ReplyDelete
From time to time, the Girl and I will manage to intersect our commutes at the Star Market that's just a mile from our apartment and ride home together. She's not nearly comfortable enough to ride in close proximity so that we can hold hands on the way in, but I dream of being able to do that on some evenings.
Wow, that is pretty funny! I've only experienced what you might say is the opposite - I'll be cycling and think the Co-Habitant is behind me, so I say something to him without turning around... only to realise that it is a different man on a bike : )ReplyDelete

Anthony's East Side Deli only opened in April, but it feels like it's been in the East Arlington neighborhood for a century. Locals tap on the display case, ordering cold cuts and cheeses (Boar's Head is carried here), and inquiring, amid small talk, which fresh-made sides are best on that particular day.
But when a 30-something woman with a baby carrier asks about gluten-free options, the sepia-toned daydream takes on a very modern hue. Anthony's recalls a bygone era in aesthetics only. The deli can meet the demands of today's customers, thanks in part to the nearby gluten-free bakery Something Sweet Without Wheat. "I have gluten-free breads now served with gluten-free Boar's Head cold cuts," says Anthony Masci, who owns the deli with his wife, Denise. "That was a head-turner as far as, 'Wow, we really hit the sweet spot for what people are looking for as far as gluten-free stuff.' "
Anthony Masci made an effort to root his shop in the past, while keeping it current. "I did want to bring it back as far as I could, yet not scare away more of a future-type person," he says. "I tried to give it that look of a throwback. Even my slicers and my deli case are of the older style but new."
This is Masci's second deli venture, following three decades in computer engineering. In 2008, he opened Maria's Italian Cold Cuts in Somerville. Two years later, he sold the shop to an employee to seek a larger space, shortly before Maria's burned down in a fire.
Seeing a void in Italian delis in East Arlington, Masci transformed the former Audio Video Plus at Massachusetts Avenue and Marathon Street into a sandwich shop (all takeout), Italian market, and catering business.
With fresh-cut meats, the sandwiches are mostly excellent, served on a choice of a seeded braided roll from Winter Hill Bakery in Somerville or a 10-inch sub roll from Piantedosi Baking Co. in Malden. Spicy Italian ($6.95), with hot capicola, hot soppressata, provolone, and mortadella, offers a true kick. Turkey Delicious ($7.50), an out-of-season Thanksgiving feast on bread, is still one of Anthony's top sellers even in warm weather. "If I didn't sell 20 of them today, I didn't sell one," Masci says as he slathers on cranberry sauce, while Denise prepares to add generous chunks of turkey breast and stuffing. "They go quick."
Another popular sub, Spy Ponder ($7.95), is a twist on the Caprese ($6.55), which Masci says appealed to female customers but left men saying, "I need more substance." So he added prosciutto to the traditional mix of tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, and oil— a combination that works very well together — and named the sandwich for Arlington High School's sports teams.
Two other sandwiches off the custom "Something Different" menu are not as consistent. Marauder ($7.99) has more than a generous helping of black pepper pastrami, which could be mistaken for roast beef, plenty of lean bacon, spicy mustard, and Swiss cheese, but fails to balance the flavors. Similarly, chicken cutlet BLT ($7.99) packs big cuts of breaded chicken and lots of bacon, but skimps on lettuce and tomato.
A more traditional sub, however, is one of the best. Steak and cheese with mushroom caps ($7.45) is juicy, meaty, and as delightfully soggy as a Philly
cheesesteak, but absolutely delicious. The Eastside salad ($7.99), mesclun greens with cranberries, walnuts, and gorgonzola, a salad that seems to be everywhere, is ornate but the combination is winning.
Sides and other salads by the pint or pound get mixed reviews. Chicken salad with cranberries and walnuts ($7.29 a pound) is the most expensive, but well worth the price tag; potato salad ($2.99 a pound) is fresh tasting and not overboard with mayo; marinated mushrooms ($5.99 a pound) in balsamic are too tangy.
Masci offers calzones on his catering menu but can't cook them to order due to health code restrictions. He plans to buy a warmer, which would allow him to add them to the regular menu. Until then, customers can place an order for individual calzones a day in advance (or get them for your office from Anthony's catering menu).
The couple also hopes to expand soon into breakfast, with designs on a croissant of eggs, ham, bacon, and melted cheese. Masci says the shop's early hours already support breakfast business.
While looking toward the future, Anthony's East Side Deli has one foot in the past and one in the present. Luckily, both eras deliver great sandwiches.

Solving a simple logarithmic equation with a single log on one or both sides. In order to solve these equations what we basically want to do is put our log into exponential form. For this particular problem we're looking at is a logarithm but this time it has a coefficient, there's two things that we have to do before, one of two things we actually have to do before we actually tackle this problem and both of them include getting rid of this coefficient.
One thing we could do would be to put this coefficient up onto a power, remember our power rule of logarithms so we can take this and put it up, but then what we're actually going to have to do is we would have to FOIL out this 3x minus 2, not too bad but it could get ugly.
The other way of getting rid of a coefficient would just be to divide it out. This is just a 2 up in front we could divide both sides by 2, it's gone. I prefer that, I think it's a little bit easier. If you want to put the 2 up into a power, go right ahead.
I'm going to divide by 2 and this drops out so then we're just left with log base 4 of 3x minus 2 and that's just going to equal 3. Now we have a logarithm on one side, no coefficient, all we have to do is put this into exponential form. The 4 comes up and over so we end up with 3x minus 2 is equal to 4 to the 3rd. 4 to the 3rd is 64. This ends up being 3x minus 2 is equal to 64, add 2 to both sides, 3x is equal to 66 and then divide by 3 leaving us with x is equal to 22.
Remember whenever we're dealing with logarithms of equations, we always have to check our answer. Take our 22, plug it back in here, 3 times 22 is 66 minus 2 is 64 and we just found that the log base 4 of 64 is 3. We just talked about that over here.
So we got rid of our coefficient put it into exponential form, went through our process, checked our work and we actually have an answer in this case, x is equal to 22.
