I left my belt in a hotel once so I know what this is like.
Wrapped around the dowel in the closet no doubt.
Do be careful with that kind of play, you don't want to end up like David Caradine
Were your red spots unaffected as well?
I don't have any red spots, but my age spots grew in size and became more fragrant.
But this really is serious. Environmentalists have been warning about this for decades. How many belts must Jupiter lose before we all acknowledge the reality of Jovial warming?!

I propose we institute a program of Jovial Dust Credits immediately. They will cost 1000 credits per tonne.
I might also be a lighting effect related to the Sun's position, our position and possibly other space phenomenons (magnetic fields, etc). If one looks at both pictures on the link below, we can see that the belt is still there, it is only much less visible. Remember that those belts are gases that could be more sensible to these types of effects.

At first, I also thought about the belt being on the hidden side of the planet but Jupi
Check Uranus.
Nice use of passive-aggressive "Informative" modifier to traditional passive-aggressive "Funny".
Fry: "Hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus." *laughs*
Leela: "I don't get it."
Professor: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all."
Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?"
Professor: "Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you."
Fry: "Hehe, no, no, I think I'll just smell around a bit over here."
Yes, a better one (which I would have made an f/p if I'd seen this sooner) would be:
"Hey ass-tronomers: will this make it easier to see Uranus?"
If you speak from personal experience, then you sir are far more hardcore than I.
If I'm not mistaken, I think the internet gives out medals for this sort of depravity. At the very least you might get lucky and find a newsgroup of similarly minded individuals.
Personally, I'm not sure whether I should congratulate you or back away from you slowly.
You damn punk planets and your baggy pants. Where's my M1 when I need it?
Let's hope they used a bit more rigor when they calculated the sun's estimated lifespan.
Maybe Jupiter will be releasing a new gen iBelt soon?
Great masses will often loosen or lose their belts altogether to combat increases in temperature. Ask Earth.

Thanks for those pics. They make it more clear than the
It doesn't really look like the belt went anywhere. It just looks like it got a lot lighter. But there is still a distinct band there.
I guess that isn't as thrilling as saying that a belt is gone" though.
Jupiter's a shy planet. He doesn't like changing his undies when being watched, so he waited until he could hide behind the Sun. That also explains why the part missing is brown. Nothing like freshly-laundered underwear for the first time in 20 years...
Actually, the real answer is that Jupiter is just so fat that you can't see the belt.
Okay fine...Your momma's so fat that Jupiter gave her its belt!
Oh yeah? Your momma's so fat that when she slept with Jupiter, Jupiter had to be on top so she wouldn't crush it!
In space, no one can see you getting changed...(so long as you're behind the sun)
You're supposed to update your wardrobe in the spring.
Gotta say though, I liked the previous look better. The belt really worked well with the red spot, while now it's just a big mess there.
"My God! It's full of stars!"
At least we get to use almost all the moons....
Just use the Delay-Tolerant Protocol and some decent error-correcting codes.
Except Europa. Attempt no landing there.
I just had a thought.
Maybe the monoliths' message to us wasn't saying "don't you dare land on Europa", maybe it was more Yoda-like, where they're saying "don't attempt to land on Europa, either do it or don't."
He's so bright and milky white / Shining down upon the ground / He's the bright, milky white / Shining down upon the ground / Everybody look at the moon / Everybody seein' the moon / The moon is bright / He's milky white / Everybody look at the moon / Uh!
Heey! I did a song! Jupiter, I did a song! You ain't got one! Heey!
"You see, that is why you do not ask the Moon!"
"Listen, I took a chance, all right? We asked the Moon, I didn't know he was an alabaster retard, did I?"
Roseanne Barr wanted her belt back.
Jupiter is white,
Uranus is blue,
In Soviet Russia,
Jupiter stripes you!
We really need a Cassini-like mission around Jupiter. Ground-based observations are just amazing, but think of the science we could do at Jupiter!
Juno won't be launched until 2011, and it's mission is only going to be one year (although we've seen how these things can be extended). EJSM seems promising, but that's still 10 years from launch.
And there don't seem to be any plans for Uranus and Neptune. What a shame.
It just slipped to a more southerly latitude just below the great Jovian beer gut.
Jupiter finally heard Gen. Larry Platt's song, became embarrassed, and finally hiked that belt up North where it belonged.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Jupiter_impact_event [wikipedia.org] + Missing Belt = Scary
The disappearance of the belt comes at a time of widespread - but mysterious - change on Jupiter, which has seen changes to the colour of other bands and spots in its atmosphere. "There has been a lot going on," Orton says.
But is there a monolith floating around Jupiter now?
We haVe yoUre beLT, anD if YoU eVer wiSh tO sEe It aGaiN, yoU mUsT PlaCe onE mIlliOn DoLlaRs in uNmaRked biLls In a tO bE annOunCed uNdisCloseD loCatIon...
If that happens, waking you will be the last things on their mind...plus we would all be dead.
1990-1973 = 17 years
1990+17 = 2007
So, it's 3 years late?
Interesting. In there I can see
Eight gravimeters and two pendulums were deployed across six monitoring sites in China for the solar eclipse of July 22, 2009. It is hoped that this effort will resolve the uncertainties surrounding this problem
And it was a year ago. Where are the results?
The aliens took it as a energy resource on their way here to take our resources.
And to keep themselves hidden, thay did it in a manner that we couldn't see them coming.
Maybe it just gained some weight so it doesn't need the belt anymore?
This is a large/big/major change.
Say what it is, rather than what it isn't. It's NOT many other things... it's also not a small car, a big house by the lake or a policy to affect traffic patterns.

French Victorian oil Girl portrait painting OLD
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
This large lovely portrait was in a really old wooden frame that was crushed in a move so we saved her from it when we got unpacked. I have never tried to reframe her and want to find her a proper home. This has its original matting too. The matting size is 19 1/2" tall and the painting is 19" tall. ( see photo of the back with the matting next to it) I tried to show a photo of the light hitting it so you can see there there are layers of paint. I am not a specialist in paintings so please ask me any questions you might have and I will be glad to help. I don't think it is a water color because of the shine where some of the layeres of paint or so my guess would be oil. If there is another type of paint then I am not versed in what it could be. On the back it is written Moore and 441 one. NOt sure what that means. She looks very young and has long drop earrings as well as pearl sash brooch. Very pretty and elegant looking. The matting was on the portrait so long that it has lightened the part where it laid against the portrait. The colors are soft and subtle. Maybe she looks like an ancestor of yours? Vintage and antique items are not mint nor are they perfect. Sold as is and as found (used and vintage) Since this is Irreplaceable there can be no returns on this sale.. Please use photos to make your decisions.

text: First few times I cooked up some rabbit it was tougher than nails. I never asked anybody about it but I started cooking it all day in a crock pot, makes a great stew with some potatoes, carrots, corn, peas, beans, lots of pepper, salt, etc. You could also leave the meat out to get up to room temp, sometimes the bacteria kicks in and tenderizes it for ya (not a smart way, but works). Basically just stew it ALL day, like get up at 5am, put it on, eat around 6pm.

We just had our AT&T 4G LTE network turned on in Tuscaloosa, Alabama about two weeks ago.
I did a speed test on the wifi network at my place of employment and had downloads of around 5.5 mbps and uploads of around barely 1 mbps.
I then turned off wifi and went LTE and it pegged out around 53 mbps download and 12-13 mbps upload.
So I would definitely say that it's very fast.
Yeah yours is real good. Mine was turned on months ago and LTE is either really Spotty or doesn't work at all about a mile from my house. I get about 7mbps in the city on a good day. Fastest I've encountered was in Daytona right next to the Daytona speedway was 62mbps. Otherwise RIGHT NOW 11 minutes from my house I get:We just had our AT&T 4G LTE network turned on in Tuscaloosa, Alabama about two weeks ago.
I did a speed test on the wifi network at my place of employment and had downloads of around 5.5 mbps and uploads of around barely 1 mbps.
I then turned off wifi and went LTE and it pegged out around 53 mbps download and 12-13 mbps upload.
So I would definitely say that it's very fast.
1.62mbps down
2.10mbps up
It's pathetic
I can usually get an average of 30-35mbps down and 10mbps up throughout the entire day in my area, which is pretty nice. Though on campus I can get wi-fi with 100mbps down...which is usually where I am all day. The last thing AT&T cares about though is their customers...they're all about the keesh $$$!
I have AT&T since I moved to USA and have had no problems. I get download speeds of about 28 Mbps. Never had Verizon or T-Mo so can't comment on those but AFAIK my monthly bill is way cheaper than my cousin with Verizon. I pay $85/month for 2 lines (one iphone and one dumb phone). I have unlimited data and have never gone past 5 GB/month and have never experienced throttling.
Having two lines also let's me upgrade to the latest iPhone every year (cross-upgrade) rather than once every two years.
I also have Brighthouse and have wifi mostly everywhere in Tampa, FL
Trash talk all you want, AT&T is blazing fast. And I welcome it after being on their 3G network for the last 6 years. Here in SF the LTE network gets 40-50Mbps downstream and 10Mbps upstream.
Sure, all the other things they do are ********. But, you can't complain when it's this fast. I too, keep Wifi off most of the time (thank you unlimited data).
Let us not also forget, AT&T is still the only carrier to let you keep your unlimited data plan when upgrading to a new device, even at upgrade pricing. Verizon, does not.
When I upgraded unlimited was gone so what they did was give me 5Gb and if I go over they won't charge me but did say they would throttle me. But I have yet to go over
AT&T fast LTE very good in Miami
If you think any business is here for the consumer you're very delusional. Corporations are here to make money, that is all. They offer the consumer enough to encourage them to fork over their money and nothing more. So to even make the statement "when in reality its all about profitability" shows just how much that statement rings true in your case.
I have been happy with att for the most part from the time they were cingular. I do however have an issue with them bringing LTE to a bunch of Podunk towns before they brought it to the Denver area. However now that it's here it's in the 50mb down range most of the time in downtown.
It will be interesting to see how AT&T's network is after the release of the next iteration of the iPhone. My is based on assumption but seems logical.
I assume the majority of users get every other iteration of iPhone due to the discounted rate of signing a new contract. I went from 3Gs to 4S with unlimited and plan on using it with the 5S(?) The S iPhones are always the best in my opinion too.

The Best TV Show Ever?
By Thane Peterson
Three cheers to HBO for recently renewing The Wire for a third season. On Sunday night, Aug. 24, I watched the final episode of the second season of this crime drama. It confirmed my feeling that it's the best dramatic series on TV right now. Even better, The Wire is also increasingly popular: It has consistently been rated among the Top 10 shows on cable this year, and sometimes even the top five.
Beware, though -- this isn't TV for the faint-hearted. It's a hard-nosed cop show set in the gritty streets of Baltimore. The first season focussed on an ad-hoc team of Baltimore cops trying to break up a ring of ruthless drug dealers who are terrorizing a housing project. A sympathetic judge authorizes a wiretap (giving the series its name) that allows the cops to get a bead on Avon Barksdale, a drug baron who until then had been unknown to them.
In the second season, the main action shifted to the docks, where some of the same investigators use another wire to go after a down-at-the-heals union local that's helping yet another shadowy drug baron known as The Greek smuggle drugs and prostitutes into the city. In the first season, the malefactors were mainly black. This year, they were mainly white. However, strands of the first season's story continue to be interwoven with the new one.
Of all the TV shows I've ever seen, this one comes closest to rivaling literature. While most TV episodes are discreet, short-story-like segments with a beginning, middle, and end, episodes of The Wire are much more like the chapters of a novel. One reason the show is daring is that it's hard to follow if you haven't been keeping up with the story. The plot is complex, combining multiple intertwined story lines which are sometimes told through the eyes of the police, sometimes through the eyes of the criminals. Several dozen characters move in and out of the narrative, going from cameo to starring roles and back again. The show would be impossible to follow if the characters weren't vivid and memorable.
That's partly because of its all-star writing team. David Simon, The Wire's creator, is a one-time crime reporter for the Baltimore Sun who co-authored the book on which the Baltimore-based NBC series Homicide: Life on the Streets was based. Ed Burns, a former Baltimore police officer, the book's other author, is now one of the writers on The Wire, as is mystery writer George Pelecanos.
The Wire's dialog is exactly what you would expect to hear if you planted a microphone among groups of cops, drug dealers, and union guys. There's endless profanity, as well as considerable sex and violence, though the violence isn't as gruesome as the gorier scenes on FX's competing cop series The Shield. There are also frequent ethnic slurs. "If you watch this show, you know that every single ethnicity and religion that comprises a modern American city has been in some way insulted and abused by the behavior of one or more characters," Simon says in a Q&A posted on the series' Web site.
What raises The Wire way above the norm for TV cop shows are its main themes. At one level, this is a show about people attempting to preserve a sense of home and family under the intense pressures of poverty and social change. For instance, the drug lord Avon Barksdale repeatedly forgives the mistakes of his cousin D'Angelo, reminding the younger man that he's family and that "it's always [about] love, D."
In the first season, one of the more heart-wrenching subplots was the story of a teenage drug dealer called Wallace. The cops attempt to protect Wallace, who is a potential witness against the Barksdale gang, by sequestering him with relatives in the country, but the boy is so lonely in the unfamiliar rural surroundings that he returns to the ghetto and drug dealing. He knows he'll probably be gunned down if he goes back, and he is.
In the current season, union leader Sobotka aids The Greek's drug ring only because he needs money to save his dying union local. He wants to preserve a way of life for his union brothers and his family. But he and his son, Ziggy, and nephew, Nick, end up in a spiraling tragedy that leaves Ziggy in prison facing a murder rap, Nick in a federal witness-protection program, and Sobotka himself brutally murdered.
The other main themes of The Wire include the infinite ability of bureaucracies to subvert personal integrity, and the incredible pressures that vigorous market economies place on working people and the poor. "We are not selling hope, or audience gratification, or cheap victories with this show," Simon says in the Web-site interview. "The Wire is making an argument about what institutions -- bureaucracies, criminal enterprises, the cultures of addiction, raw capitalism even -- do to individuals. It is not designed purely as an entertainment. It is, I'm afraid, a somewhat angry show."
Check it out if you haven't seen it. One good thing about HBO is that it reruns its shows many times. If you're a digital-cable subscriber, you can also order episodes through a service call HBO on Demand. The Wire's first season is also due out on video in the near future.
Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see if the show can maintain its intensity next year, its third season. The last episodes of the first season -- where the Detective Shakima Greggs was shot and lay near death in intensive care -- were the most compelling television I've ever seen. The narrative lagged in the middle of the latest season, though the show recovered and finished on an extremely high level.
The judges of the Emmy Awards have so far dissed The Wire. But if the series can maintain its quality next year, I don't see how it can be denied a raft of awards. At this point, it's more compelling than either The Sopranos or Six Feet Under, which have been showered with Emmys. And that's saying something.

A World War II-vintage plane is on display through Friday at Toledo Express Airport, with tours and flights available.
The B-17 Flying Fortress "Sentimental Journey," operated by the Arizona Airbase of the Commemorative Air Force in Mesa, Ariz., is at the Grand Aire ramp, 11777 W. Airport Service Rd.
Ground viewing and photography opportunities are open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day at no charge, while cockpit tours cost $5. Flights cost $425 per person and may be reserved by calling 602-448-9415.
Built in 1943, the bomber is one of the last survivors from its 12,731-member class, built primarily for attacks on Nazi Germany. The plane has been continuously flown, serving as a military reconnaissance plane, nuclear-testing drone "mother ship," and firefighting plane before it was retired and donated to the Arizona Wing in 1978.

The estimate, premised on the SEC continuing without a conference-owned network and again having 15-year deals, would give the SEC more guaranteed TV revenue than any college athletics conference: nearly $25 million a school per year over the full contract term ($5.2 billion total).
However, the Pac-12's full ownership of national and regional networks that have lined up substantial distribution before their scheduled launch in August, indicates that the conference is on track to generate at least $30 million a school per year over the 12-year term of agreements with ESPN and Fox that begin later this year ($4.3 billion total). Only the money from ESPN and Fox — about $21 million a school per year — is guaranteed, though. And because of the networks' start-up costs the actual per-school revenue the first few years is likely to be well below the projected annual average.
The estimates come from Navigate Research, a Chicago-based firm that is not currently working with the SEC or Pac-12 but has done multimedia rights valuations for schools in various power conferences.

^Venezuela's Chavez to move into Gaddafi tent ~ link ~ Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says he is going to govern temporarily from a tent so that families made homeless by recent floods can take refuge in his office. Mr Chavez said he would have a Bedouin tent given to him by the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi put up in the garden of the presidential palace. Twenty-five families are already living in the palace after losing their homes.
Since World War II U.S. leaders have consistently lied to the American people about foreign threats in order to feed the military machine's appetite for war. All of these wars are unjust and unwarranted but that does not stop the self-interested criminals who control U.S. foreign policy. A recent example of a lie they told was their assertion that Saddam Hussein was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. That episode revealed to many people the true nature of the American government. Simply put, it does not care about the truth, or the American people, or the members of the military. U.S. leaders like former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and current Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, to name but a few, tell lies at will. Dishonesty means nothing to them. They deceive the American people, the American military, and the world about their motives and methods - and they lie to themselves about their own powers and abilities.
Next to the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who were slaughtered by the American war machine in its numerous criminal wars, U.S. soldiers have suffered the most - way more than the rest of the population in America. It can't be said enough that the U.S. government's treatment of its soldiers is scandalous and shameful. It is so out of whack that in America today dogs are treated better than military vets. Some dogs are even treated to luxurious spas while military vets are denied the proper health care that they deserve. Instead, they're left to rot, and commit suicide. And for what? To defend America? To defeat Al-Qaeda? Or to keep the war machine and its benefactors rich and powerful? As you will see by the end of this post, it is the latter.
US Reports Paint 'Bleak' Pictures in Afghanistan and Pakistan ~ link ~ Though the documents have not been made public yet, those familiar with the new National Intelligence Estimates on Afghanistan and Pakistan, which were presented to the Senate Intelligence Committee this week, say they paint a bleak picture of the situation in both nations.
WikiLeaks: Advancing an Israeli Agenda ~ link ~ Asked on the night of September 11, 2001 what the terrorist attacks meant for U.S.-Israel relations, Benjamin Netanyahu, the then former prime minister, tactlessly but accurately replied, "It's very good." And on the day after WikiLeaks' publication of U.S. diplomatic cables, Netanyahu "strode" into a press conference at the Israeli Journalists Association, looking "undoubtedly delighted" with the group's latest embarrassment of U.S. President Barack Obama.
"Thanks to WikiLeaks," Aluf Benn wrote in Haaretz, "there is now no fear Washington will exert heavy pressure on Israel to freeze settlement construction or to accelerate negotiations on a withdrawal from the territories." Instead, also courtesy of WikiLeaks, the world's attention had been shifted exactly where a "vindicated" Netanyahu wanted it – toward Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons programme.
"Our region has been hostage to a narrative that is the result of 60 years of propaganda, which paints Israel as the greatest threat," Netanyahu told the assembled journalists. "In reality leaders understand that that view is bankrupt. For the first time in history there is agreement that Iran is the threat." While there is considerable dispute about the extent to which Arab leaders share Netanyahu's understanding of "the Iranian threat," the Arab public overwhelmingly considers Israel to be a far greater threat.
Nevertheless, according to Haaretz columnist Ari Shavit, Julian Assange "has shattered the accepted dogma on the understanding in the Middle East in the 21st century." WikiLeaks, crowed Shavit, "proved" that the Israeli occupation and colonisation of Palestine was not the main cause of instability in the Middle East. Instead, the secret cables "revealed" that "the entire Arab world" is concerned about "one problem only — Iran, Iran, Iran." Thus, Shavit concluded, the only way to bring peace to the region was to deal with "Iran first."
Strangely, the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange seems to accept the Israeli vision of "war is peace" in the Middle East. In an interview with Time magazine, Assange singled out
Even more puzzling, Assange had an op-ed piece in Rupert Murdoch's The Australian, in which he quoted something the media mogul had written in 1958: "In the race between secrecy and truth, it seems inevitable that truth will always win." In choosing another pro-Israel apologist as a model of transparency, is it possible that Assange is ignorant of the key role played by Murdoch's media empire in propagating the lies that led the New York Times to dub the war in Iraq "Mr. Murdoch's War"? Netanyahu as an example of a world leader who believed the publication of Arab leaders' provocative privately expressed comments "will lead to some kind of increase in the peace process in the Middle East and particularly in relation to Iran."
US House Approves Major Increase in Israeli Military Aid ~ link ~ The House of Representatives earlier this week approved a significant increase in the level of military aid to Israel, pushing the level to $3 billion in flat military aid, with an additional $205 million set aside for a short range rocket system.
Pyongyang will rely on nuclear might to defend itself against the United States and South Korea, North Korea's Foreign Minister Pak Ui Chun told Russia's Interfax news agency Friday. "We are once again assured of the rectitude of our choice of the songun (army first) policy, and in strengthening a defence that relies on nuclear forces for deterrence," he said.
Did PM Netanyahu get a Lethal Dose of DU ~ link ~
But, let's back up to that first night and a photo op that PM "Bibi" Netanyahu, like all politicians, just could not pass up. The Prime Minister of Israel embarked on "a visit to the scene by helicopter …"
My first thought was "He did WHAT?" I was concerned for his safety, of course.
After all, Israel is in the middle of a nuclear war being fought with little American nuclear weapons and hundreds of thousands of tons of nuclear munitions.
What goes around, comes around and uranium dust never goes away. The Prime Minister's office, no doubt, got the memo from the UN International Fire Fighters on the re-suspension of uranium dusts during forest fires.
My second thought was "I wonder how much of a shot of re-suspended highly radioactive uranium oxide, and its lethal decay products, PM Netanyahu got while flying around in his helicopter? What an idiot!" that's what I thought immediately, more or less.
US allocates $205 million for Israel's 'Iron Dome' anti-rocket system ~ link ~ When it comes to finding ways to reduce the U.S. deficit, everything is on the table with one exception–more aid to Israel. And by the way, the following story can only be found in the two Israeli newspapers, Haaretz or the Jerusalem Post. I guess the American media have been ordered to keep this story silent as to not anger Americans who have to sacrifice with this budget deficit. This is just one more example as to the way the American media is controlled. The Associated Press never misses an opportunity to slam Iran or Syria or even the Palestinians, but when it's something embarrassing to Israel the presses are silent.

*Crisis of the European Monetary System ~ link ~
The bailout packages arranged for Greece and Ireland are not to bail out those two countries, but to bail out the European banks that lent to them and bought their bonds when it was imprudent to do so. They knew, because they control the governments that the public of the solvent governments would bail them out. Thus, the governments of Ireland and Greece with Portugal and Spain to follow will be showered with an Anglo-American style bailout. As you know $1 trillion won't be enough to make the banks happy, so $3 trillion will be needed. Germany says no we are not going to do that. Well, we'll see just who the real masters of Germany are. Such policy flies in the face of German culture. It shows you though how close to the edge Europe and its euro zone really is. Germany understands, but the rest of Europe, particularly the PIIGS are in denial. The IMF has its nose under the blanket. It will lend and participate, so that it can serve its masters by keeping these wayward states completely in austerity and bondage for the next 50 years and in that process relieve them of their sovereignty. As all of Europe belatedly understands, one interest rate can never fit all.
We can assure you that the euro zone is on the edge of collapse. It's just a question of when. Nothing has been contained nor can it be contained. Like in the US the taxpayers of the solvent countries must bail out the banks and other financial institutions of Europe. The monetary policy created by the European Central Bank and the bankers has failed. Whether this was deliberate or not, we do not as yet know, but the truth will eventually surface. Currently the scapegoats are the citizens of these beleaguered countries, when in fact the real malefactors reside at the ECB and the European Parliament. These same players still do not have solutions other than destroying the Greek and Irish societies in the name of repaying the bankers. Whether you realize it or not, it has been a year since this odyssey began in Greece. We now have Ireland and they will be followed by Portugal and Spain and perhaps even Italy.
5 Signs the End is Near for the Criminal Banks ~ link ~
Sorry but I have to disagree. These arch-criminals will stop at nothing, including destroying the entire world, to hold onto power or see that nothing is left for anyone else. Stirling
When will we get justice from the banksters? HINT: As soon as we demand justice and not a moment sooner.
Could it be any more clear? The international banks are proven criminal entities -- everyone knows it, and everyone is beginning to openly say it. Yet they are still apparently considered "Too-Big-to-Jail" by our public legislators.
Politicians from around the world continue to bow to the will of the banksters, whether they be in the private sector, privately-owned central banks, or global private banks, while the people continue to be brazenly looted to fund their criminal enterprise.
Madoff: The Mob; Mossad: 'Murder' ~ link ~ According to Irving Picard, the lawyer recovering money for the fraud victims, Austrian banker Sonja Kohn was a "criminal soul mate" of Bernard Madoff for 23 years. (Austrian banker Kohn key to Madoff crimes)
Allegedly, Kohn ran an international network of banks and funds in order to help carry out the fraud.
Reportedly, Madoff secretly paid Kohn at least $62 million in secret kickbacks.
Kohn, a 60-year-old Austrian ultra-Orthodox Jew, had 'billionaire mobster clients'. (Financier's Life Becomes Crazy Spy Movie)
"With Russian oligarchs as clients," said an Austrian banker, "she might have reason to be afraid." (Movie)
"My inference is that that gold was not there," Rickards told King World News. "The bank had to scramble, go out and find it somewhere before they could make good delivery."

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Saltwater Aquariums
- - Marine livestock for a brackish tank?
Marine livestock for a brackish tank? So far, the only things I've found that can be acclimated to mid-level brackish is: Caulurpa Algae Chaeto Algae Bumblebee Goby (depends on exact species) Sailfin Molly/Molly Fiddler Crabs Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) Aplocheilus Lineatus (Striped Panchax, Golden Wonder Killifish) (unfortunately too large) Puffers are ruled out because this will be a PERMENTANTLY brackish tank, and I'm not interested in phasing it to full marine. It will also be planted, but I know the fish will probably nibble the plants. I already raised the salinity in one of my planted tanks up to approximately 1.5 tablespoons per gallon of table salt. Many plants slowed, a couple died, but I was suprised at the number of survivors. I wanted this tank to be a 10 gallon with an emersed area, so I'm really just looking for 1-2 nice small fish, and 4-5 fiddler crabs. Any ideas? (btw, if anyone's interested, I'm going to try to make Caulerpa carpet the substrate, with some crypts, Crinum, and echinodorus var Vesuvious for contrast. In the emersed area, it will be mostly sand, a tiny waterfall, and saltwort planted out of the water.) |
it would be so cool to have archer fish but may not be realistic. im not sure about these but how about some sort of sea grass or mangrove? i think you want to add sea salt, and not table salt. i would pre-mix the saltwater in a seperate container or bucket atleast 24 hours in advance and then add that to the tank and not add salt directly to the tank. |
I plan on using marine salt before I add any truly brackish inhabitants, I just wanted to test my plant's salinity tolerance. Archers would be nice, but they def. get too big. Even if I got a bigger tank, I bet they'd eat my fiddlers at max size... |
1 Attachment(s) the bumble bee loach can also be acclimated to brackish when I got him he was a inch long now he is 9 inches he is brackish now if he was still fresh water he probably only would have got 6 inches he is 5 years old |
That actually gets a bit large (since this tank will only have about 5 gallons in the water area, but excellent filtration) I'm thinking about bumblebee goby and/or halfbeaks... any idea if they'd coexist? |
i dont know tank size requirements but seeing you will have a "land area" what about mudskippers? i believe ive heard of halfbeaks being nasty. not sure, ive never kept a brackish setup. i would see if you could get a few mangroves to grow though. with the dry/wet setup they would look especially cool IMO. |

The wrongful conviction of Tim Masters is one of the most egregious miscarriages of justice in Colorado history.
A Troubled Teen
A sophomore at Fort Collins High School, the other kids called the 5-foot-10-inch, 115-pound Tim Masters "Toothpick." He was awkward, introverted, and an outcast, wheat-grass thin with a slim face and a mop of frayed, shoulder-length brown hair. He grew up just outside San Diego. His father, a Vietnam veteran, was stationed there as a chief petty officer with the U.S. Navy. When Tim was in second grade, the family moved to Fort Collins, where his father had relatives and some property. They settled into the trailer while Clyde finished his last few years in the service in California. The transition was tough for Tim. He seemed isolated and withdrawn. In January 1978, one teacher noted that he lacked the ability to stay on task, and the school suggested counseling. Tim told his mother that he hated his new school and missed California. During fifth grade, teachers indicated that although he had above-average intellectual ability, Tim had difficulty completing assignments, and that when he became upset, he would mouth words unintelligibly under his breath and not do his work.
Masters' dad retired in 1982 and moved to Fort Collins. With the family together, it seemed their lives might stabilize. Then, one evening while Tim was in sixth grade, February 11, 1983, his mother was not feeling well. Clyde drove her to the hospital. She never came home. The autopsy report says that Margaret Masters died of toxic shock syndrome the next day.
The way Clyde Masters ran the trailer, as if it were a naval ship, was difficult on the boy. Tim's older sister, Serena, had joined the Army, and his father was still grieving the loss of his wife, often taking out his anger by yelling at Tim. It took its toll on the kid. Masters was busted twice: once for shoplifting some toy cars from Target, and once for vandalism. A middle school counselor, Ann Livingston, who worked with Tim to improve his grades, and—in general—improve his self confidence, told investigators that Masters was shy and that he was not doing well in school. "He appeared to miss his mom," she said.
Outwardly, Masters did not display anger or violence, but often withdrew into his drawing. The pictures were mostly about monsters or war, often grotesque and showing a lot of blood. "He was very interested in the armed forces," Livingston told police, "and was very enthusiastic whenever his sister came home for visits."
During his first semester of 10th grade, Masters received everything from As to Fs. He did not appear openly aggressive, but teachers did notice a preoccupation with racism and cruelty, weapons, militarism, and death. And a few weeks before the Hettrick killing, a teacher tried to confiscate an Army manual Tim was reading in class. Furious, he refused to hand it over and stormed out of the classroom.
Peggy's Last Night
On February 10, 1987, Peggy Hettrick finished her shift in the lingerie department at the Fashion Bar clothing store and clocked out at 9:01 p.m. The 37-year-old did not own a car and walked the few blocks to her apartment, where she realized she was locked out because she had given the key to a friend who was staying with her. The friend had passed out, drunk, and couldn't be awakened despite Peggy's banging on the door.
Irritated, Peggy walked back to town and headed to a local bar. She returned to her apartment later that night and was able to rouse her friend, get the key from her, and change clothes before rushing back out at around midnight. Peggy headed to the Prime Minister, a restaurant half a mile from her apartment, where she sat at the bar drinking vodka tonics and smoking Merit cigarettes.
Peggy was 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighed maybe 110 pounds. She had red hair, pale white skin, and dimples in cheeks that bracketed thin lips and a soft, easy smile. Her blue eyes opened widely beneath slight eyebrows and curled lashes. They were inquisitive and drew anyone speaking to Peggy into her presence.
Her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Matt Zoellner, was a local car salesman who liked pretty women, cold beer, and cocaine. He would tell police that he arrived at the Prime Minister at about 12:30 a.m. and bumped into Peggy. Zoellner was waiting for another woman, but, as he would tell police, he offered Peggy a ride back to her apartment. She said OK, but after Zoellner returned from the bathroom, he said, he saw her walking out the door.
The next morning, Peggy's grandmother arrived at her apartment. The two had planned to go out to breakfast and do some shopping. Peggy was not there. The light was still on in her bedroom.

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrive to dance together at an Inaugural Ball Monday night.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
WASHINGTON — Schoolteacher Patricia Cooper gazed out at the many hundreds of thousands of people lining the National Mall, moments after Barack Obama had been sworn in for the second time as president.
"The media kept saying there were going to be so many fewer people," said Cooper, 51, from Upper Marlboro, Md. "But look out there!" she beamed. "We still have a pretty big crowd."
True, the crowd was roughly half that of Obama's momentous inauguration in 2009, and the sense of history, and pure excitement, far less potent. But despite a more sober national mood, there was plenty of enthusiasm — even among people who'd been there the first time, like Cooper — and oh yes, star power, as the capital threw its marathon, once-every-four-years party.
Jennifer Hudson sings as President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama dance together.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
"I was there last time, and I was just so proud to be here again this time," Cooper said. "And the weather was great!"
It was a warmer day indeed, with a noon temperature of 40 degrees. And if the day was balmier, it seemed its whole aura was mellower, too, with not only the president but his whole family looser than four years ago. Malia and Sasha, no longer adorable little girls but rather stylish young women, chatted on the podium, showing how comfortable they'd become after four years in the public spotlight, and Michelle Obama sported a hip new haircut: blunt-cut bangs. Even Chief Justice John Roberts seemed more relaxed; well, he breezed through the oath of office that he had stumbled over four years ago.
Of course, it was lost on no one that the president was renewing his oath at a somber and difficult time for the nation. A still struggling economy. The fiscal crisis. The fight over gun control, in the wake of the horrific shootings in Newtown, Conn. The continued threat of terrorism. A general sense that the country is more polarized than ever.

But for a day, the capital city celebrated. And as always, it was a marathon, with more than 12 hours of public events for the president, beginning with a morning prayer service, through a parade that went past dark, with the president still standing and clapping — and the Inaugural Balls, of course.
And though the president went home not long after 10 p.m., Washington was still buzzing. Downtown was gridlocked, as taxis, a hot commodity, tried to navigate closed-off streets. Stevie Wonder was singing at the cavernous Washington Convention Center, where the balls were held, and the Goo Goo Dolls and Ke$sha were performing at separate events elsewhere — just a few of the happenings that turned Washington into Celebrity Central for the weekend.
But the biggest celebrities? That would be Barack and Michelle Obama, and their appearances at the Inaugural Balls — three of them this year, much pared down from 2009 — were the most eagerly awaited events of the night.
The Obamas first hit the Commander in Chief ball, held like the others in the vast Washington Convention Center, where the nation also got a first glimpse of — The DRESS! Mrs. Obama again chose designer Jason Wu, this time a custom ruby-colored halter dress of chiffon and velvet that accentuated her bare shoulders and arms. And if she looked more ethereal four years ago in a frilly white Wu gown, this time she looked hipper — especially with her new, much-discussed bangs. (The hairdo was described earlier by her husband as the most significant event of Inauguration Weekend.)
The first couple — and the second, Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill — took a spin on the floor with selected members of the military. And the Obamas danced romantically to "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green, sung here by Oscar-winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson, whispering and laughing as they spun.
Meanwhile, the huge crowd at the downstairs official ball had its own entertainment. First up was Alicia Keys, who, like most of the celebrities on hand, made no secret of her affection for Obama. "Obama's on fire!" she sang, changing the lyrics of her hit song. "He's the president, and he's on fire."
Equally effusive was "Glee" actor Darren Criss, who attended the ball and had performed over the weekend at the Kids' Inaugural Concert. "I think the tagline of this weekend is that if there's anything cooler than electing the first African-American president, it's re-electing him," Criss said in an interview.
The entertainment also included the Mexican band Mana and country singer Brad Paisley, who joked that Americans have a democracy that's the envy of the world, so we celebrate by "getting drunk in a huge convention center." The audience milled around, buying drinks at the cash bar and bemoaning the skimpy snacks — until the popular, Grammy-nominated band fun. came on, with lead singer Nate Ruess' energetic vocals inspiring much of the crowd to sing their anthem "We Are Young" — even if they weren't.
Albert Wilkerson is 74, to be precise, but he was enjoying the evening immensely, he said, despite the noise, the crowds, the cash bar and food that consisted of pretzels and snack mix, $150 tickets notwithstanding.
"I like being here," said Wilkerson, who came from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. "I feel like a true American."
Caitlin Kelly wasn't quite so forgiving. "You diet for weeks to get into a dress, and then they give you pretzels?" asked Kelly, 28, of New York. "I'm gonna get tipsy fast."
It was a three-generation affair for the Sawtelle family, meanwhile, with grandmother Anna Kristina Sawtelle, 76, from Ogunquit, Maine, by way of Sweden, attending the main ball by wheelchair. Sawtelle's extended family traveled from Sweden to see the event, with her 12-year-old U.S.-born grandson — a Boy Scout from Troop 698 of Burke, Va. — serving as volunteer security for the parade.
"I am proud my grandson guarded the president,'" she said.
The Obamas soon came down and repeated their dance with Hudson, to huge cheers from the crowd and too many cellphone photos to count. After one more appearance at the third venue, the Obamas went home. But Stevie Wonder took the stage, his familiar hits — "My Cherie Amour," ''Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and more — luring a few brave souls to dance.
Over at the Harman Center for the Arts, meanwhile, there was a hipper vibe, with a big bash thrown by the Creative Coalition, an arts advocacy organization, featuring a full concert by the rock band the Goo Goo Dolls. There, everyone was up and dancing in their theater seats by the second song. At yet another venue, the 9:30 club, pop singer Ke$ha was performing, and praising Obama's speech. "I really appreciate him addressing equal rights" for gays, said Ke$ha. "It's an issue very close to my heart."
A slew of celebrities had also watched Obama's swearing-in earlier in the day. Katy Perry showed up in a chic orange coat and wide-brimmed hat. She sat next to singer/guitarist John Mayer. Up on the podium, folk icon James Taylor sang "America the Beautiful," and Kelly Clarkson performed "My Country, 'Tis of Thee."
Vice President Joe Biden dances with Army Staff Sgt. Keesha Dentino as Jill Biden dances with Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Patrick Figueroa during the Commander-In-Chief inaugural ball.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
But the biggest attraction? Ask Jada Mason, age 8, from Tulsa, Okla. "I got to see the president — AND Beyonce!" she beamed, when asked her favorite moment of the day. (Beyonce sang the national anthem.) Jada's family had taken a road trip from Tulsa in a 12-passenger van — nine family members, and three generations — to attend the inauguration. Just try telling their mother, Mattece, that this inauguration was less powerful than Obama's first.
"It was just momentous," said Mason, who is African-American. "More important than the first. Because it was based on his credentials, you know? Not someone giving us a chance because it was time to give us a chance."
Amber M. Whittington feels the same way. "This is a validation of our electing the first black president," she said, explaining why she felt the day was so important. "It wasn't a fluke."
And so, when a little boy started complaining about the cold early in the morning, the 26-year-old volunteer, who was waving people through a gate, knew just what to say.
"You will be very grateful to your parents one day," she told the boy. "This is history. You will realize that soon."
"It's worth it."

Would you spend an additional $1 per acre to increase your profitability in 2001?
That's about what it would cost a 1,200-acre cotton farmer to recoup the price of a cotton yield monitor, assuming a yield increase of 10 pounds per acre.
"Faced with increasing costs and decreasing returns, we're struggling to try to find a better way to survive. And, for the first time in our lives we have the tools to utilize the data from our farm ourselves to finetune our management and increase our profitability," says precision farming pioneer Kenneth Hood of Perthshire, Miss.
Hood sees the widespread adoption of precision farming equipment as dependent on one thing, the ability to increase profits. "We need to identify the regions of variability within a crop and then develop a strategy to rectify those variability differences and increase yields."
The first, and most economical, step for growers interested in precision equipment, he says, is to purchase a yield monitor.
With an estimated low-end price of $5,680 and an upper-end price of $9,780, Hood calculates that a cotton yield monitor system would cost the majority of producers less than $1 per acre.
Specifically, he says, the cheaper system would cost a 600-acre cotton grower $1.58 per acre if it resulted in an increase of 10 pounds per acre. Assuming that same yield monitor resulted in a yield increase of 50 pounds, the grower's cost would drop to 32 cents per acre. The high-end yield monitor system, with a value of almost $10,000, would cost $2.72 per acre, assuming a 10-pound yield increase, and 54 cents per acre assuming a 50-pound yield increase.
The same two yield monitor models would cost a 1,200-acre cotton grower less because the cost of the system would be spread out over a larger operation. For example, the $5,680 system would equate to a charge of 79 cents per acre if it produced a 10-pound per acre yield increase, and a 16-cents per acre charge if it produced a 50-pound per acre yield increase. The more expensive $9,780 yield monitor system would translate into a cost per acre of $1.36 with a 10-pound yield increase and 27 cents with a 50-pound yield increase.
Hood's cotton yield monitor cost recovery figures are derived by taking the cost of the yield monitor system, dividing it by the acreage covered, and then dividing that figure by the income received from any yield increase, assuming a cotton price of 60 cents per pound. The package system quoted includes a cotton picker yield monitor, a digital GPS receiver, a differential correction fee, storage cards and mapping software.
"Farming input decisions, including whether or not to buy precision equipment, all boil down to the question: What and how much do I put where to maximize my profits? What's paramount is that it makes money," Hood says. "A yield monitor is very valuable because it tells you where your income is coming from. It can also teach us to manage our soils better and to better identify crop health."
A yield map isn't the only precision tool that Hood utilizes to increase his profits.
Each crop year, he starts with a bare soil imagery of each field. "In some fields, the soil type on our farm changes five times from one end of a field to another."
He continues to use remote sensing imagery throughout the growing season, in tandem with variable rate technology and soil and yield mapping.
"We need to find out why we have so much variability. We can use these tools to break down our cost and profit per acre and see the variability, not just across the entire farm but within each field," Hood says.
According to Hood, using variable rate technology has allowed him to cut his input costs while, at the same time, increasing cotton yields. Variable rate seeding, he says, has saved him 31 to 66 percent in seeding costs and increased his yields 2 to 10 percent.
Along the same line, Hood has cut his insecticide costs by using remote sensing imagery and a GPS equipped applicator to apply pesticides only where they are needed in a field. "In one 238-acre field, we sprayed 158 acres, and didn't spray the remaining 80 acres, for a chemical savings of 34 percent. That amount of savings has got to get your attention."
He has also realized cost savings factoring precision technology data into both his plant growth regulator treatment decisions and his crop termination decisions.
The price tags of these other precision tools, according to Hood, are as follows: grid soil sampling, $3 to $10 per acre; remote imagery, $6 to $10 per acre; crop consultant trained in precision "information gathering," $6 per acre; and a GIS package, $500 to $5,000.
"You crawl before you walk, and we're still crawling when it comes to precision agriculture," Hood says. "Precision farming is all about asking and answering the questions: What is the problem? What can we do about it? What are the costs?"

Source – NASA Grail Mission:
PASADENA, Calif. – NASA will provide live commentary of the scheduled lunar surface impacts of its twin Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft beginning at 2 p.m. PST (5 p.m. EST) Monday, Dec. 17. The event will be broadcast on NASA Television and streamed on the agency's website.
The two probes will hit a mountain near the lunar north pole at approximately 2:28 p.m. PST Monday, bringing their successful prime and extended science missions to an end.
Commentary will originate from the control room at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Coverage will last about 35 minutes and include live interviews with GRAIL team members. GRAIL's final resting place on the moon will be in shadow at the time of impact, so no video documentation of the impacts is expected.
Data from the GRAIL twins are allowing scientists to learn about the moon's internal structure and composition in unprecedented detail. The two probes are being sent purposely into the moon because they do not have enough altitude or fuel to continue science operations.
For NASA TV streaming video, schedule and downlink information, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/ntv . The coverage will also be streamed live on Ustream at: http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2 .
