Vote for Zoltan Istvan, 2016 US Presidential Election!
Can I gift myself? I want the badge. =P
I would happily give the gift of CR to a family member, but I already bought them stuffed animals from here and I bought a subscription for myself. I'm already over my budget limit. Perhaps another time
Living life to the fullest as only I can. Thank you.
I'll have to see if my cousin will use this.. keep buggin that girl to watch Natsume but she wont Nothing like the prospect of commercial free anime to lure her into watching it
Any chance of a crunchyroll store giftcard in the near future? They would be perfect girfts
I want this..
Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Daikazokuuuu!
I already purchased a gift membership for someone as their Christmas gift, wish this had been announced sooner. The card just arrived in the mail two days ago. But no use crying over spilled milk.

Once again the Irish 1911 census releases have been delayed. The following is the latest update from the site:
Future releases of counties will comprise:
1. Limerick, Mayo, Waterford, Armagh, Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Fermanagh, Kildare, Kilkenny and Leitrim;
2. Londonderry (Derry), Longford, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Queen's County (Laois), Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Tyrone, Westmeath and Wicklow.
We are anxious to achieve the highest possible degree of accuracy with the transcribed census data, and efforts to ensure this has necessitated a short delay in releasing the next tranches. We now expect to be placing the first listed tranche online by late August, along with corrected data for previously published counties. The second listed tranche should be available at some stage around the middle of September. As before, this will be subject to our being satisfied that the data meets our required levels of accuracy.
By end-September, we will be rebuilding the site to include full transcription of all of the data on the household forms for 1911, including religion, occupation, relationship to head of family, literacy status, marital status, county or country of origin, Irish language proficiency, specified illnesses, and child survival information.
1901, with all data transcribed, will be launched towards the end of 2009.
The first tranche was initially proposed to be released by mid-July, and the second by the end of August. I suspect the promise of the 1901 census by the end of this year could be considered the classic definition of 'optimism'! :)

Copyright Office Exploring Issue Over Pre-1972 Sound Recordings & Copyright
from the public-domain? dept
This topic has been getting a lot more interest lately, both in academia and with the discovery that certain works are being withheld from the public due to these issues. Apparently, all that attention has caught Congress' interest, and the Copyright Office has been asked to explore the issue of copyright on pre-1972 sound recordings. The Copyright Office is asking for people to weigh in on the subject (thanks to everyone who sent this in). I wouldn't be surprised to see the Copyright Office work out a way to retroactively put those works under federal copyright law -- and I doubt there would be too many people holding the copyright on, say, recordings from World War I, protesting. However, when it comes to copyright issues, it's hard to predict who will come out of the woodwork to complain... Of course, some would argue that the idea that any pre-1972 works are still covered by any copyright at all is a travesty.

The 3-disc set will include the director's commentary, a panel discussion on dyslexia, deleted scenes, the making of, the background score, and two collectible postcards. The contents sound very similar to the T-Series release in India (I hope it comes packaged in standard DVD cases, unlike the T-Series version), except that this one has also been dubbed in English. This, following the International Dyslexia Association conference in Seattle earlier this year. From Aamir Khan's related blog post:
One of the interesting points which came out of the Q&A was the request from the audience to dub the film into English when re-released here. They felt, and rightly so, that they wanted their children to see the film and were afraid that the smaller kids will not be able to read the subtitles. So I'm going to look into that. At the very least the DVD release here can incorporate a dubbed version as well.
I really like this idea of dubbing the film for children who are unlikely to be able to follow along effectively with subtitles (I wonder how they've treated the songs). He's never focused much on the awards circuit. It's been for the better, and it shows here. In other Aamir goings on, his commercials for the Incredible India Atithi Devo Bhavah (Guest is God) campaign have been airing for a while. If, as a tourist, you have felt insecure because of the treatment extended by some, I'm sure you can appreciate this.
The words at the end: "Visitors to this country are our guests. Protect them, and earn respect for the nation." Aamir's performance is a remake of sorts of a critical scene in Lagaan (2001), involving the debate on whether Kachra the untouchable should be included in the team. There's also this commercial that addresses preservation (or lack thereof) of historic monuments. The song contained within is the fantastic Sau Saal Pehle by Mohammad Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar, from Jab Pyaar Kisi Se Hota Hai (1961), with lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri and music by Shankar-Jaikishan.
There's plenty more at the campaign website, the Incredible India website, and their YouTube channel, which also includes this beautiful rendition of Saare Jahaan Se Achcha by Shaan and Shreya Ghosal (the lyrics are by freedom fighter and philosopher-poet, Muhammad Iqbal; complete lyrics and translation available at this Wikipedia entry).

@Solar power: Right now, it's not the greatest form of electricity generation. However, there isn't any hard things preventing the efficiency from increasing. It's more a matter of R&D then anything else. In more proven parts of the silicon industry (EG computer chips) you see very fast technological progress. If the money was there, the same could be true for Solar.
Governments could speed things along if they gave solar panel developers/manufacturers greater stability through feed in tariffs and other guaranteed prices. What's holding a lot of Solar (and other renewables) back is that they're afraid that tomorrow the price of Oil/Gas will drop again, rendering what seemed like a profit making project into one making severe losses. A feed in Tariff would belay those fears, as they'd be able to make reasonable profit projections of a product that usually takes years to pay off it's initial investment.

The reality is somewhat different for a variety of reasons.
Don't get me wrong, I do think we will reach the point of Solar Power surpassing most everything else.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves and screw it up.
We need panels that have high effeciency, not 100%, hell not even 70% to meet our needs, but 50-60% range would make it a reality that is cost effective and efficient enough to be practical.
And there are those working on said types of Solar Panels right now.
We cannot escape the problem of useing batteries (at least not right now), however, we can reduce the size (and thus pollution) of lithim-ion batteries by using them in Hydro-Electric vehicles (been reading more about them today, and I like what I read).
Hydro-Electric gives us the benefit of a small battery (for the electric motor) and the hydrogen to charge the battery all within the vehicle so no strain on the power grid.
Ultimately a truly Solar Powered vehicle would meet my standards but that is so far off that I'll be dead before it happens, though some of you might live to see it.
I know we can't get 100% clean, but we need to get as close as we can and still maintain our civilization which is why I want to see all avenues pursued to achieve that goal.
What aggrivates me is when someone tries to close one avenue by claiming that a current technology will solve all our power needs. It's going to take a combination of technologies, not just any one.
There is so much that could have been done in the clean up, should have been done to prevent it in the first place, and needs to be done to stop it every happening again....not a good subject for me, makes me very angry.
However, my point is that we shouldn't abandon either of them.
Electric is only so good, and the same can be said of Hydrogen.
A marriage of both technologies holds more promise than either of them by themselves.
That requires tax money, but getting the idiots in congress or the white house to agree on who to tax, how, and how much is why we have gridlock. I honestly don't think any of them (Dem or GOP) want to solve these problems. Otherwise they would have started on it in the 1970s during the oil embargo when they should have realized that our dependence on hydrocarbon fuels was a bad idea that needed fixing.
It's not a matter of the few cars on the road using pure electric right now, it is when the shift comes to ALL cars going to an alternative that power needs cannot be met wtih current Solar Panel technology (unless we cover the landscape with Solar Panels on roofs, over parking lots, etc. which is feasable).
Ultimately the goal of hydrogen fuel is to be able to pour water into your tank without the need for a compressed liquid hydrogen or cracking. We're still a ways off from that, but that is the goal and a good one.
That's why I said electric is a stop-gap measure. If engineers and/or chemists can figure out how to crack water inside the vehicle and provide direct hydrogen gas from water stored onboard, then that would be the best fuel source (of those under development) outside of an actual Solar Powered car.
I meant that Solar Panels need help to charge the car in the same manner as a normal vehicle.
Let me put it differently.
A "quick" recharge of an EV with the best Solar Panel recharging equipment takes a minimum of 30 minutes.
A refuel at the pump for hydrogen or gasoline takes 3 minutes.
As for business or homes, they don't consume much power as it is compared to a factory that manufactures goods. I imagine at some point in the near future Solar Panel technology will be able to provide the level of power needed for a factory, but right now it isn't there.
In other words, have patience.
However, we have to face the reality of what we are living in right now and see that a basket of technologies is going to be required to get us off hydrocarbons.
It's going to take more than 40% peak power to make this work in the short term.
Long term I can see Solar as providing most, if not all of the world's power, but that is still far into the future.
So yes, additional power is needed for electric cars (as a whole, not individually) to work in society.
I think we had a misunderstanding there.
Provided the nuclear power plants are produced with all of the proper safety features they are fine, but recently, there is a bit of scandal brewing over nuclear power plants.
I agree that coal has simply got to go.
It was good when it was the best technology for the job, but now it needs to be retired.
However, that said, we need to go about transfering from coal to better power sources as smoothly as possible without destroying the flow of power to consumers.
Again, a group of new technologies is the best way to go about this. Combine Solar, Hydrogen, and nuclear (if we must).
Italy has had a succesful hydrogen power plant for years now.
I'd like to see that type of thing developed and expanded here in the US on a larger scale (even if natural gas has to be used).
I had no idea, I'm so used to seeing the "air-powered" car used by anti-Hydrogen types that think we can never get off fossil-fuels that I thought you were using it as a pejorative. I stand corrected.
That is actually really neat.
We need Panels that can reliably collect 50% (at least) power and provide that power to the grid continuously no matter the load.
Unless there is a drop in population, and thus power consumption, on a large scale, we are going to see power needs rise with or without pure electric cars.
That's why I'm harping on a Hydro-electric hybrid, it metaphorically kills two birds with one stone. The power for the car is generated by a clean fuel source, the battery for the car is relatively small reducing the toxicity of recycling, and the emmissions are water vapor. Is it perfect? No. But it is better than either technology by itself until Solar Panels reach a point that direct Solar can power a vehicle.
Oddly enought Kaijo, I think we are mostly on the same "page" here with regard to the need for alternative fuels/energy to that of hydrocarbons, even if we may have minor disagreements on how we as a society should go about it.

I think we are somewhat on the same page here, and for what it is worth, I am not saying to stop research on hydrogen. Just that electric cars are ready *now* and offer a HUGE benefit over gas vehicles. Considering the polluting and oil nature of gas vehicles, let's do what we can to get them off the road now. Exchange the huge polluting vehicle for something MUCH less polluting. Maybe, in the future, if Hydrogen works out, we can do something with it. But not right now.
Although, I think there might be a minor misunderstanding here. You seem to be operating under the assumption that you will just pour water into your car to have it go. That's not how a hydrogen car would function. Instead, you would have to put pure hydrogen into your car, which would then combine it with oxygen from the air to create water (or water vapor). It takes energy to crack HO2 apart into hydrogen and oxygen, but you get energy by recombining the two. So, even in a hydrogen car, you are using hydrogen to create electricity, and the electricity to run the car. Whereas an electric car cuts out the middle step and just focuses on electricity.
Hydrogen is essentially more of an energy storage compound, like a battery; not energy generation. It takes energy to make hydrogen, and thus when you ultimately use it to power something, you're getting less energy from it than it took you to make it. That's the biggest issue with it.
I will say that hydrogen compares favorably as far as energy storage goes, compared to gasoline. The main problem is that it requires a MUCH heavier and bulkier tank to store the gas. A heavier car will require more energy to run, so this is something you have to keep in mind. The lighter you can make your car, the less energy it takes to move it. There have been some experiments with small marble-like pellets, but that is proving to be even heavier. The other main benefit is the ability to use gasoline as a fuel until a hydrogen infrastructure is in place. This is the major reason why the hydrogen car has any real traction, because the oil companies would rather people buy hydrogen cars then electric cars, so they can sell more oil. Thus, what you usually see pushed, are fuel cells which can do both gasoline and hydrogen.
I'd encourage you to read a book called "The Hype about Hydrogen". Despite the title, it is written by a "hydrogen realist" who knows what he is talking about. He knows the potential, but also knows that it has a looong way to go, currently. There are engineering problems we haven't been able to surmount. While he figures we eventually will, the fact remains that we have technology NOW which is just as good. Again, not saying to stop working on hydrogen, as a breakthrough could make it ideal. But electric cars work now, and so let's do that. I think you can agree to that much, since it does look like we mostly agree on things.
One other thing that isn't mentioned, is that an electric car is vastly cheaper to maintain, due to less moving parts (this is partly why GM helped kill their electric car, the EV1). The more you put into a car, the more it will cost to maintain it. Both an electric car and a hydrogen car will have batteries (and quite a few of them, as the benefits of regenerative braking are much too good to pass up). Hydrogen cars add more parts in the form of fuel cells, which means there are naturally more maintenance costs.
And lastly, about solar power... yes, that chart was about peak, but remember, we are talking about mostly deserts here. They get peak sun practically every day. Even if we assume they only get half of that peak on average, we can simply double the number of panels to get the energy we need, and it still takes up an incredibly small fraction of Earth's land area. I don't know what else to tell you, other than countries like Germany and China are going full bore on solar power now, to great benefit. It is a mature technology, and there are companies in the US which will install solar panels for you, that eventually pay for themselves after 3 to 10 years.
You say we need 50% panels, but that's not a good idea. Remember, the more energy they absorb, the more heat they build up. Too much energy, and they melt and become non-functional, unless you have some clever cooling options. I've seen a few; mainly one that rotated a kind of "tree" of panels slowly, thus giving the panels not facing the sun, time to cool down a bit. But that required energy. 20-30% is pretty much idea, because then they don't get warm enough to fail. In most areas, they can radiate enough of the heat to keep functioning.
If you want to know how far solar panels have come, recognize that we can keep a solar powered aircraft aloft indefinitely! NASA's Pathfinder project(nonpiloted drone) demonstrated that you could keep a solar-powered aircraft aloft even during the night, and I'd keep an eye on the Solar Impulse project. It's actually piloted, and has already made a 24 hour trip. The next goal is to circumvent the globe in 20-25 days (in 3-4 day hops to change pilots), but eventually have a full, around the world trip with a later two-seater.
And the solar powered car you want is practically here. Only, instead of taking the solar panels with you (which add extra weight and thus increase energy expenditure), you simply stop at places with solar powered charging. From that point of view, it makes little sense to carry solar panels with you. In 10-15 years, every metropolitan and suburb will have solar paneled charging areas. Business centers will have them. Parking garages will have them. Restaurants and shopping malls. In fact, I usually see the charging spots closest to the door at places like Walmart or near the elevator in parking garages. So not only are you getting a free charge, but you get the closest parking spots, too!
Honestly, the only two reasons why I don't get an electric car now(if I needed a new car now, it would be a Volt), one of which is partly because I want to get more use out of my current car. But the other main reason is I am on the second floor in a condo complex. There are no charging stations here yet (though I've seen quite a few around in my suburb and in Seattle). I'd like to be able to plug in at night, which I can't do yet. So, I'm hoping in 10 years I'll either move to some place that has charging stations, or convince my condo association to invest in some. Or somehow run a cable up to my condo, heh.

One of the problems with being optimistic about EV is that it was 20 or so years ago that they said we'd all be driving EV in 10-15 years. California even mandated by law that a certain percentage of all cars sold in California would have to be EV by I think 2010. It was nowhere near that percentage.

In the "how stupid do you have to be to forget to breathe" department, Teabaggers and the extreme rights go ballistic because the First Lady took part in a small part of the Oscars last night. They get nearly every aspect wrong, of course, in the froth and spittle.
The stupid burns and stings to even stand near (last 50 years at least of First Ladies participating in the arts, education, even picking up litter).
(note to any of the stupid before they whine: Ronald Reagan also taped his own video message for the 53rd Academy Awards in 1981)

As for motorcycles, I can think of many reasons. You're exposed to the environment, they're more dangerous than cars, they have extremely limited storage capacity. Sure, we can redesign many motorcycles to be enclosed, easier to handle (like the "motor tricycles"), and to have more storage space... but I don't think that would be popular. I got my motorcycle license for the fuel efficiency factor, but I have never met any motorcycle rider who stated that as their reason. It's an interesting idea, but we're having a hard enough time of moving people away from huge vehicles over to tiny cars; why would they make the jump to an even tinier vehicle that may lack the "coolness" factor of a traditional motorcycle?

Personally, I'm a good driver - one of the more smarter ones. However, I don't trust myself with a motorcycle either. Yet, if I were to own one, that'd motivate me to travel around more. Having a car is nice - but traveling around with it can be a pain in the ass... especially to large cities where parking is an issue.

Yes, bio-diesel does come from food products, including water oil from fryers. Woukd it not be better to actually burn said waste oil, than dump it? And since we produce soy beans more than anything it should be cheap.
Ethanol was a by product of corn, and just as everybody was to jump on the bandwagon, the price of corn suddenly skyrocketed. The same could happen with soybeans too, but it's an abundant product.
If not motorcycles, why not those vehicles than run on engines measured in cc instead of cid? Like the Honda Beat, or the older Mini Cooper?

Not surprising considering that New Jersey has never been a gun friendly state.
Yet I like the guy, he has moxy, and did a hell of a job after Sandy hit them!
Politics aside I rather like the guy and wouldn't be surprised if he threw his hat in the ring in 2016!
Did you also see where the media tried to down play his possibilities just because of his weight?

I drive a small pickup myself, but I need the storage space for my work, so that couldn't be helped. It's actually pretty comparable in terms of fuel efficiency to the cheapo car I drove as a high school student - a 98 Volvo S70.

The flip side being freedom of movement, maneuverability, and of course gas mileage!
As for storage space, you'd be surprised how much you can put in saddle bags, and if neccesary get a side car, they were making a comeback a few years ago, or even a small trailer.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT men's soccer tied with New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) rival Wheaton after going into double overtime, leaving the score at the end of 110 minutes at 1-1. The Engineers' record is now 6-2-1 and the Lyons' is 6-3-1.
In the first half, MIT took 10 shots at goal, two of which were saved by goalkeeper Matt Dickey, while Wheaton made six attempts and only two needed to be saved by sophomore goalie Sam Cannon (Scarsdale, N.Y.). The score remained at 0-0 until the 33rd minute when Kai Gooden scored Wheaton's first goal. MIT tried to retaliate, taking four shots at goal in the last 10 minutes, but all attempts were thwarted and the first half ended with the Lyons ahead, 1-0.
MIT remained behind, but eager to catch up, until the 82nd minute when sophomore John Kramer (Glastonbury, Conn.), who had already shot at the goal three times since the start of the game, scored MIT's first goal of the afternoon, tying the game with less than eight minutes remaining. Neither team was able to score another goal before the clock ran out, so they were forced into overtime.
In the first overtime period, both MIT and Wheaton shot at the goal twice and Dickey and Cannon each had to save one ball, but the score remained at 1-1. In the second overtime period, the Engineers shot at Dickey six times, four of them by Kramer, but none of them got close enough to Dickey to need to be saved. With two more saves by Cannon, the 110 minute game ended in a tie.
Throughout the game, Kramer took an impressive 10 shots on goal. Freshman Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.J.) was not far behind with six and he was followed by senior Matthew Monheit (Abington, Pa.) with five.
MIT will return to action when it travels to Salve Regina University on Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 7:00 p.m., while the Lyons will travel to Brandeis the following day.

Copyright Trolls Still Arguing That Open WiFi Is 'Negligent'
from the no,-it's-not dept
But, apparently, that doesn't stop some from still trotting it out. The CopyrightClerk site has the news of a recently filed lawsuit by Daniel Ruggiero, which has a number of claims -- with the final one being the same old negligence theory.
Defendant had a duty to secure his Internet connection. Defendant breached that duty by failing to secure his Internet connection.Of course, there is absolutely nothing that supports those two statements, and the previous courts looking at such claims have already made that clear. Those rulings may not be precedential on this court (eastern district, Pennsylvania), but judges often are interested in how others have ruled on similar issues. One hopes that the defendant in this case, Andrew Burdziak, will make sure whoever represents him makes the judge aware of those other rulings.
Reasonable Internet users take steps to secure their Internet access accounts preventing the use of such accounts for an illegal purpose. Defendant's failure to secure his Internet access account, thereby allowing for its illegal use, constitutes a breach of the ordinary care that a reasonable Internet account holder would do under like circumstances.

W. PA Conservancy hosting canoe trip along the Clarion River
May 24, 2011
On Saturday, June 11, and Sunday, June 12, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy will host a trip along the Clarion River for the annual River Sojourn.
Participants will travel this National Wild and Scenic River by canoe from Hallton, Pa. to Cooksburg during the two-day event. The trip includes activities and presentations centered on the theme "Into the Wilds," which focuses on the ecology and history of the river.
The Clarion River slowly meanders through scenic narrow valleys and hardwood forests, and includes numerous large pools, providing a relaxing scenic trip that is comfortable to most levels of boaters.
On the first day, participants will paddle 13 miles, beginning in Hallton and continuing through the beautiful, undisturbed Pennsylvania WILDS. In addition to experiencing a few riffles and small waves along the way, boaters will encounter a little excitement on Pine Rapid, a Class 1 to 1+ designated rapid. This day's journey ends at Clear Creek State Park, which is recognized as an Important Bird Area – so bird watchers should bring binoculars.
Day two, which covers 10.5 miles, will launch from Clear Creek State Park. Sunday's leisurely paddle will pass through several Important Bird Areas, including a locally known bald eagle nesting area high in the hills of the Wild and Scenic River Corridor. Along the journey, staff members will speak with participants about the area's flora and fauna, as well as current WPC projects and initiatives. The event will come to an end at the Pale Whale Canoe Fleet Livery in Cooksburg.
Participants are welcome to attend either day individually for $65, or both days as a package for $95. Registration fees include daily meals, canoe rental, educational programs and shuttle service for the event. Lodging is not included; participants must reserve their own overnight accommodations.
WPC has a long history of conservation efforts along the Clarion River, starting in 1977. More than 12,276 acres have been protected and have led to State Game Lands, Clear Creek and Cook Forest State Parks, and the Allegheny National Forest. The longest stretch of protection is 8.6 miles starting at just south of Cooksburg.
Sponsors for the sojourn include Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers (POWR), Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Pennsylvania WILDS, and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC).
To register for the River Sojourn or for more information, contact Kelly Horrell at (724) 471-7202 ext. 5100 or by email at khorrell@pa conserve.org. Register online using a credit card at http://goo.gl/XbUG6. Download and fill out the registration packet at http://goo.gl/jwxLn. The registration deadline is Friday, May 27.

Boat in mint condition. call for detail information. Must see!!
How can a Two Minute telephone call save you Thousands, if not Millions of dollars?
Like EVERYONE else, all brokers and dealers use the same MLS systems to list, market, and offer new and used boats and yachts. Just like your Realtor, or your current yacht broker. Same sellers, same boats for sale, same asking prices.
The ONLY difference between us, and the others, is
If your going to buy a boat anyway why not call and spend just two minutes of your time to find out how to put extra money in your pocket.
Its only two minutes, don't you owe it to yourself?
What others are saying about us!
"I recommend 4Yacht to anybody that would want to have them as a broker or just as an agent. They are honest and very devoted. I would definitely ask 4Yacht for service if I had to buy a yacht."
"4Yacht was involved in the selling of the Yachts "XXXX" When, I, the Captain and the crew, arrived Miami, They helped us in every way they could to make us comfortable and to sort out all our small personal problems that we had."
"I am a bit addicted to boats, at this moment I own 8 boats of various sizes makes. I guess you could call me a connoisseur of things that float or simply a boat nut. No matter. In 2008 my wife I set out to purchase a larger boat that we could possibly retire on or simply enjoy. Honestly, at the time I was sort of leery about dealing with a broker (I am terrified of used car salesman). Then I came across 4yacht. They were not pushy, in fact very patient (I am not exactly the easiest to sell to). Through all of the hunting, questioning, negotiating, surveying, renegotiating, sea trials, purchase and actual transfer from Florida to Texas they some how kept me sane and made what could have been a horrible experience pleasant.
'I am pretty rough around the edges my wife is quite the opposite and somehow they kept us both happy and treated us with great respect. I have, in Florida, a knowledgeable broker.'
"Everything they said they would do, they did and followed through until the deal was complete. Their honesty (whether I wanted to hear it our not) was refreshing in a world where salesman tend to blow a lot of smoke."
"Whether my wife daughter like it or not, I am not finished buying or selling boats, but I am finished looking for a broker who can will help me. Thank you, you are stuck with me for life"
"We worked with 4Yacht in purchasing our Motor Yacht. During this time we have had many experiences with 4Yacht and the yachting community. Our experiences have given us a significant amount of time to get to know them. They are simply, the best."
"There are certain qualities that are to be looked for in yacht brokers. They are attentive to the clients as evident when we worked with them. As for being knowledgeable about the yachting industry, 4Yacht knows the industry inside and out."
"In today's world it is difficult to find someone who is both professional but reaches his or her clients on a personal level. These people are few and far between, but in our experience, we have found this exact type in 4Yacht."
"When it comes to finding the ideal company to serve as a yacht broker, look no further than 4Yacht."
"As a yacht broker, 4Yacht will serve as a guide to the yachting community, acquainting you with the different types of yachts and boats that you encounter. They are a teacher, helping you to learn about the various different systems onboard many of today's yachts and boats."
They are representing you the best way possible, to all those you come in contact with. An analyst: helping you to analyze various situations that you may encounter, and guiding you to the best outcome. But most of all, they are there by your side when you need their help and that makes them one of the best."
Without hesitation, we would highly recommend 4Yacht to anyone interested in looking to buy or sell in the yachting industry. 4Yacht will always be there to guide you."
"4Yacht knows what they are doing and that small fact helps their clients such as ourselves more than we may ever know."
"We could not imagine having ever chosen another broker than 4Yacht, if we had, it would have most certainly been a great mistake."
"4Yacht has all the best qualities of a yacht broker and more and this should not be overlooked."
"I want to thank you for all of your time and effort that went into the completion of my recent purchase of my sailboat in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Right from the start the dedication to communication and attention to detail were important factors to me in the consideration of this purchase.
They were always very clear about all the features of this vessel. From the telephone conversations and the email communication, I certainly knew a great deal about the condition of the vessel well before I travelled from Toronto, Canada to Ft. Lauderdale to view it. I thank you again for all the information and pictures. I really appreciated all your help and guidance from our first contact to the final purchase of the vessel.
I certainly recommend you and 4Yacht to anyone considering a boat purchase."

At a small Quaker hall in the prosperous small town of Charlbury, England, just north of Oxford, 30 residents listen politely as Sir Terence English, retired head of the prestigious British Medical Association, drily sets out his wares.
An Assisted Dying Bill permitting euthanasia is due to be debated shortly in Britain's House of Lords. The meeting, organized by Dignity in Dying, is just one of many taking place locally to drum up public support.
With similar laws now pending in several countries, Catholic Church representatives are urging caution.
"For our Church's magisterium, the beginning and end of life represent non-negotiable values," Thierry Bonaventura, media officer of the Council of European Bishops Conferences (CCEE), told Our Sunday Visitor. "Yet the issues surrounding euthanasia are often quite technical and hard to understand, especially when not all governments and parliaments appear much open to public dialogue on them. Very often, it comes down to the consciences of individual doctors."
Rapid growth
It was in the Netherlands that euthanasia was first legalized in 2001, under a law allowing doctors a degree of discretion when patients became incapable of deciding their fate for themselves.
Though supported in opinion polls by most of the country's 16 million inhabitants, the measure was condemned in a joint petition by the Catholic Church and all main Dutch religious groups, including Muslims and Jews.
The law has been extended, with an average of 3,100 assisted suicides registered annually.
The debate on euthanasia has moved on significantly all across Europe. According to surveys, most citizens now see it as desirable if appropriate rules are in place.
In Belgium, where euthanasia was made legal in 2002, 1,133 cases were registered in 2011, mostly involving terminal cancer, according to a federal commission. The number is growing rapidly.
Last summer, a mentally disabled man serving 20 years for a double murder became Belgium's first prison inmate to be euthanized. In November, Belgium announced plans to follow the Dutch in allowing euthanasia for Alzheimer's sufferers, as well as for children, "if capable of discernment or affected by an incurable illness or suffering we cannot alleviate."
In December, physicians at Brussels University Hospital helped deaf 45-year-old twins Marc and Eddy Verbessem end their lives via lethal injection after the brothers learned they faced becoming blind. Neither was terminally ill or in pain. But the doctor presiding at the "mercy killing," David Dufour, insisted the twins had made the decision in "full conscience" after concluding their problems had "made life unbearable."
Forms of euthanasia are also permitted in Luxembourg and Switzerland.
Opposition on both sides
Meanwhile, in France, legalizing euthanasia was a May 2012 election pledge of Socialist president Francois Hollande. France's current 2005 law prohibits euthanasia; in January 2011 the country's senate threw out legislation that would have permitted "every adult person" to request a "quick and painless death."
But a government-commissioned report was presented by Didier Sicard, president of France's National Consultative Committee on Ethics, in December and in June, the promised draft law is to be published.
President Hollande faces tough opposition. France's Académie Nationale de Médecine has declared itself against any moves to legalize euthanasia.
Like its French counterpart, the British Medical Association has consistently rejected euthanasia and assisted suicide.
For now, at least, opponents of euthanasia still have everything to play for. Some experts think the euthanasia movement reflects demographic pressures in the aging population of the European Union, where taxpayer-funded welfare systems are already stretched by the Continent's economic downturn. With spending targets becoming stricter in national health services, the elderly look set to become an economic burden.
Changing moral values
Bonaventura, the CCEE media officer, rejects talk of sinister motives and thinks the euthanasia movement reflects genuine concerns about the right of individuals to determine the manner of their deaths.
But he agrees moral values are changing, strengthening the view that human life only has value when it's healthy and productive.
For Catholics, the issues should be clear. Yet in the highly differentiated societies of Europe, the Church's voice is only one of many.
"If society's vision of the human being is changing, this will affect all aspects of life, and the Church has a duty to point this out," Bonaventura told OSV.
"Yet Europe's lay Catholics are divided themselves on issues like euthanasia. Whereas those in the East are more inclined to followed the Church's teaching, those in the West are likelier to be influenced by prevailing secular perspectives."
Up to three-quarters of respondents accepted assisted suicide in a survey of 12 countries this autumn by Switzerland's Isopublic polling agency.
In Britain, where an act of euthanasia — if defined as murder or manslaughter — can still incur a life sentence, 87 percent of citizens agreed in a poll last August by London's Daily Telegraph that the terminally ill "should have the right to decide when they want to die and to ask medical assistance to help them."
In France, a similar proportion, Church members included, favored allowing euthanasia in an October survey for the Catholic Le Pèlerin weekly.
Even in staunchly Catholic Poland, where a bill was rejected in 2004 to permit assisted suicide in "specifically justified instances," 53 percent supported euthanasia when requested by a patient in grave pain, according to a January survey by Warsaw's Public Opinion Research Centre (CBOS).
Church leaders say surveys like these are inherently unreliable and ignore the complex ethical dilemmas associated with euthanasia. People's responses are heavily determined, they point out, by cases in the media, or sufferings they've witnessed in their own families.
That's the message put out firmly by Catholic bishops from the Netherlands to Poland, who have warned supporters of euthanasia, including MPs who vote for it, they risk gravely violating Church doctrine.
Bonaventura dislikes bleak talk about Europe's moral and spiritual decline. Although negative pressures are always at work, he thinks the current Year of Faith is a reminder that Christians should remain optimistic and hopeful.
In the meantime, the Church must respond energetically to the pressing task of ensuring people understand what's at stake.
"It isn't just a question of fighting these proposals, but of witnessing to our faith and helping others do the same," the CCEE officer told OSV. "We can still rely on the liberal conscience to discern the kind of laws and practices which will best serve the future of humanity."
Back in Charlbury, the Quaker hall meeting concludes to a chorus of polite thanks, and Sir Terence English is praised for carefully setting out the case for Britain's latest Assisted Dying Bill. Most participants seem sympathetic to the bill. But there have been voices of dissent, too, and much talk of "slippery slopes" — a sign that, in the end, people's consciences will be what counts most.
Jonathan Luxmoore writes from England.

Paula Garfinkel
Born: December 3, 1920
Lodz, Poland
Paula was one of four children born to a religious Jewish family in Lodz, an industrial city with a large Jewish population. As a child, Paula attended public schools and was tutored at home in Jewish studies three times a week. Her father owned a furniture store.
1933-39: My brothers, sisters, and I spent a lot of time at the clubhouse of our Zionist group, Gordonia. Our group believed in humanistic values, Jewish self-labor, and in building a Jewish homeland in Palestine. I liked to work with my hands and did a lot of knitting, crocheting, and sewing. In September 1939, when I was in secondary school, my studies were cut short when Germany invaded Poland and seized Lodz on September 8th.
1940-44: In early 1940 our family was forcibly relocated to the Lodz ghetto, where we were assigned one room for all six of us. Food was the main problem. At the women's clothing factory where I worked, I at least got some soup for lunch. But we desperately needed to find more food for my younger brother, who was very sick and bleeding internally. From the window at my factory I looked out at a potato field. Knowing that if I was caught, I'd be shot, I crept out one night to the field, dug up as many potatoes as I could, and ran home.
In 1944 Paula was deported to Bremen, Germany, as a forced laborer. She was freed in the Bergen-Belsen camp in 1945. After the war, she immigrated to the United States.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Despite a valiant comeback in the final minutes, the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology women's basketball team was unable to overcome 14-point second half deficit in Wednesday's 63-56 loss to Earlham College at Hulbert Arena.
With the loss, the Engineers drop to 8-12 overall and 6-7 in Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference play, while Earlham improves to 10-10, 6-7.
Senior Kelsey Ploof (Noblesville, Ind./Noblesville) netted her 18th double-double of her career in the setback, as she led the Engineers with 22 points and 10 rebounds – eight of them offensive. Ploof was one point shy of her career high of 23, set back during the 2011-12 season.
Freshman teammate Abbie Marshall (St. Louis, Mo./Nerinx Hall) and sophomore Carrie Morris (Altadena, Calif./Mayfield) chipped in 10 points apiece for RHIT, which finished the game 23-of-50 from the field for 46 percent.
After entering halftime down 27-16, Rose-Hulman trailed by as many as 14 points after Earlham's Maya Luney hit a layup at the 12:32 mark. The Engineers trimmed the lead to seven on a Sheree Williams (Bluffton, S.C./Bluffton) jumper (40-33), but Earlham went on another run to extend its lead back to 14, 55-51, after a pair of Kasin Spay free throws with 5:07 to play.
The Engineers would not quit, as RHIT went on a 11-2 run over the next four minutes to cut the lead to five, 57-52, with 1:18 to go. Ploof scored seven of her 22 during the run, including a jumper, a layup and two free throws.
But the Quakers would hold on at the free-throw line, hitting 6-of-6 from the charity stripe down the stretch to seal the win.
Marshall added six rebounds and three assists and Williams finished the contest with six points and four assists for the Engineers.
Earlham's Bria Sneed led all scorers with 26 points and added four steals, while teammates Hannah Franklin (11 points) and Spay (10 points, seven steals) also reached double-figure scoring.
Rose-Hulman returns to the court Saturday, when the Engineers travel to Manchester for a 3 p.m. matchup. The Engineers will play their final home game at Hulbert Arena Feb. 19 in a contest against Franklin.

Three Undervalued Stocks Ready to Rally
Stock bargains are growing scarcer. One way to find relative bargains is to search among companies that have lagged behind the market's recent rally, but which look likely to catch up in coming quarters. Jack Hough of Barron's has details. Photo: Getty Images.

Justice Department Drops Its Request To Be Allowed To Lie In Response To FOIA Requests
from the now-it'll-just-lie-without-permission? dept
Of course, the DOJ's capitulation is done rather petulantly. While it admits that, having heard the comments to its proposal, its suggested language "falls short" of the necessary transparency, it still defends the basic idea behind lying to the public, while denying that it's lying. It first notes that the practice of responding with "there exist no records responsive to your FOIA request" even if there were such records, has been in place since 1987, under the guidance of then Attorney General Ed Meese. And then they try to explain how that's not lying:
The logic is simple: When a citizen makes a request pursuant to the FOIA, either implicit or explicit in the request is that it seeks records that are subject to the FOIA; where the only records that exist are not subject to the FOIA, the statement that "there exist no records responsive to your FOIA request" is wholly accurate....It then insists that this practice is never "lying," but that the DOJ will try to come up with ways to be more transparent. Somehow, I'm not sure I believe that will really happen.

After all this miles in the Willamette Valley, time for R&R in Sitka, AK. Our first night was at the P Bar, the local haunt. We heard stories of bears, fishing, and hard work. Also heard someone say, "you could make a reality show out of that shit. Everything's a reality show in Alaska." Oh and they greet each other with, "hey Fuckface!"

Hello. He isn't married and doesn't have kids. And I know why. Because he always beats up his women he dated. That's why he isn't engaged. He was probably when he used drugs when he was a teenager, and now he is letting his aggressiveness out on his co-stars he is dating. He WAS dating China Chow, but now she doesn't want to be with him anymore. (probably because he hit her too.) I am a Mark Wahlberg fan too, but not that much that I would post in the message board that I would drool over him. Did you know that he probably goes in this website, and checks out his message board? And sees how stupid some of you talk about him. If he weren't in the movies you wouldn't be drooling over him either.
And the reason why he always plays movies where he was to be a Physco, Terrorist, Hit men, etc; is because he is beating everybody up.

It is true that MArk got into quite a bit of trouble when he was younger ( he has talked about it in interviews) But he lived in a very rough neiborhood!! And that doesn;t mean that he hit his women!! He has been with Jordana Brewtser for 2 years!! Aight! So back up off my man!
