Available exclusively through B&H, the Deluxe Shotgun Microphone Kits are designed to provide field audio engineers with a complete system that delivers improved sonics and lighter components. All Deluxe Shotgun kits are configured to satisfy seasoned videographers and engineers who desire improved performance over entry level microphones and accessories.
The Sennheiser ME67/K6 is the featured shotgun microphone in this kit. As standard in all Deluxe Kits, a universal shockmount, lightweight boompole, boompole bag, universal hand grip, AA batteries, short and long right angled XLR cables are all included to provide the user with everything necessary for capturing audio for video, film and field production applications.
The ME 67 is a long gun microphone capsule designed for use with the K6 and K6P powering modules. A highly directional microphone, it can be used where the microphone must be placed at a distance from the sound source. Matt black, anodized, scratch resistant finish.
The K6 Microphone System Powering Module by Sennheiser is the compatible base for many modular capsules. It features high output levels with low noise, a switchable bass roll-off, and transformerless balanced output.
The K6 can operate on a single AA battery (not included) or phantom power. Its on/off switch also has a battery test position, so you can be sure you have enough juice. The K6's anodized, matte-black finish will resist abrasions to maintain a professional appearance, even under rigorous usage.
Power any device that accepts AA cells with this 4-pack of standard, all-purpose High-Energy 1.5V AA LR6 Alkaline Batteries from Varta. These German-made cells are non-rechargeable and feature an output of 1.5V. Additionally, they offer up to 80% more power in digital cameras than Varta Simply Alkaline batteries. The "Single Press Out" type packaging enables easy opening, allowing you to extract one at a time and providing storage for unused cells.
The lightweight, low-profile Audio-Technica AT8415 Universal Shockmount is designed for boompoles or mic stands, providing a rubber membrane suspension for isolation from motion and cable noise. Height and angle adjustment knobs are also provided.
This Camera Shoe Mount Adapter from Audio-Technica converts a standard shoe mount into a 5/8"-27 (outside) and 3/8"-16 (inside) threaded base so you can screw on a standard clamps and mounts for microphones or lighting accessories.
The Auray WSS Series Professional Windshields deliver superior 360° wind protection with acoustic transparency. They are engineered for dramatic reduction of unwanted broadband wind noise and vocal pops with very little high frequency loss, for exceptionally accurate recordings.
This WSS-2029 Professional Windshield has an inside depth of 29cm and is designed for use with long shotgun microphones. It features a specially manufactured open-cell foam matrix surrounded by a layer of 25mm-thick simulated rabbit fur. This diffusion technology lowers wind velocity in a controlled air space around the microphone, thereby reducing wind noise without muffling the sound. It also features an airtight tapered rubber base that seals out wind from the rear of the microphone, greatly improving isolation and rear wind protection.
When used on a long shotgun microphone, this slip-on windshield is effective in minimizing wind noise and plosive sounds. It is most effective in light breeze to strong breeze conditions (4-25 mph) and users can generally expect a 24dB to 40dB reduction in wind noise with negligible dampening of high frequencies. For most applications, the negligible high frequency dampening is a worthwhile exchange for the dramatic wind noise reduction.
In addition to superior 360° wind protection, the WSS-2029 helps prevent moisture and dirt from damaging your microphone. The windscreen is designed to fit microphones from Sennheiser, Neumann, Audio-Technica and others.
The WSS-2029 Professional Windshield for Shotgun Microphones is an advanced solution for outstanding wind protection with acoustic transparency.
The K-Tek KEG-100CC Avalon Series Graphite Boompole provides a moderately priced, lightweight boompole solution for ENG, EFP, and other field recording applications. Its sturdy graphite design is tough enough to endure the rigors of road use while remaining lightweight and travel worthy. This pole features an internally coiled cable and an XLR connection at the base of the pole. A total of 5 sections telescope between 2.2 to 8.8', and will easily store in any standard equipment case. The captive-collet coupling system locks each section in place for even further reliability.
The black Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR M to Angled XLR F Microphone Cable (20') is designed to be an extremely quiet and flexible cable that is ideal for the most demanding live sound and performance applications. The cable is engineered to be durable and to provide protection against EMI, RFI, and static noise.
Premium Performance 3000 Series cables are made from 24 AWG OFC copper wire that's wrapped with PE insulation and a conductive PVC inner shield. A cotton-yarn inner layer helps reduce electrostatic and microphonic noise. 95% dual-spiral shielding makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.

The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.
The Auray Neoprene Boompole Bag for 34" Closed Boompole with Shotgun Mic and Softie is a case designed to hold up to a 34" closed boompole with shotgun microphone, softie, and shock mount. Its interior end cap is strengthened to protect the bag from punctures. It features a zipper closure with protective interior lining to prevent snags and scratches. The bag is built with an interior pocket for accessories that opens or closes with hook and loop fasteners. An adjustable shoulder strap is included with a nametag holder.
The Auray Universal Microphone Pistol Grip is a handheld grip that features an ergonomic cushioned handle. This grip is great in "run & gun" situations in which a boom pole would be cumbersome, and in video scenarios in which the cameraman is also responsible for audio recording. The grip can be held with one hand, as opposed to a boom pole which requires two. It also provides the option of being able to record audio from a different direction than the camera is pointing, an advantage over camera mounting the mic. Furthermore, having the mic mounted off the camera prevents it from picking up motor noise from the lens focusing.
In addition, the grip features standard 3/8" threads on both ends. This allows you to attach your shotgun mic (with shockmount) to one end of the grip and mount the other end to a boom pole. This gives you the flexibility of being able to quickly detach the pistol grip and the attached shotgun mic from the boom, an option that can come in handy for entering areas that are too small for a boom pole.

Committee Opinion Number 748, August 2018
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 639, September 2015)
ABSTRACT: Information from vital records is critical to identify and quantify health-related issues and to measure progress toward quality improvement and public health goals. In particular, maternal and infant mortality serve as important indicators of the nation's health, thereby influencing policy development, funding of programs and research, and measures of health care quality. Accurate and timely documentation of births and deaths is essential to high-quality vital statistics. This Committee Opinion describes the process by which births, maternal deaths, and fetal deaths are registered;...
Committee Opinion Number 744, August 2018
ABSTRACT: Unsustainable health care costs combined with suboptimal patient outcomes have led health policy experts and payers to consider value-based payment or alternative payment models. Replacing fee-for-service reimbursement, these models link payment to value by rewarding efforts to enhance the quality of care at similar or reduced costs. Although many of the models employed to date have focused on primary care, management of chronic disease in the Medicare population, and episodes of care for common procedures, models for primary and specialty care of women are in the early stages of de...
Committee Opinion Number 729, January 2018
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 493, May 2011)
ABSTRACT: Awareness of the broader contexts that influence health supports respectful, patient-centered care that incorporates lived experiences, optimizes health outcomes, improves communication, and can help reduce health and health care inequities. Although there is little doubt that genetics and lifestyle play an important role in shaping the overall health of individuals, interdisciplinary researchers have demonstrated how the conditions in the environment in which people are born, live, work, and age, play equally as important a role in shaping health outcomes. These factors, referred t...
Committee Opinion Number 709, August 2017
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 359, January 2007)
ABSTRACT: Monetary reimbursement of physicians in exchange for medical advice and treatment is well established and accepted in medical practice. However, financial pressures and the pervasiveness of entrepreneurial values have led some physicians to widen the scope of activities for which they seek reimbursement. Some of these commercial activities are ethically problematic in the clinical setting. Obstetrician–gynecologists should strive to ensure that commercial enterprises in medical practice do not compromise the patient-focused mission of clinical care. In this Committee Opinion, the Am...
Committee Opinion Number 683, January 2017
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 508, October 2011)
ABSTRACT: A key element of an organizational safety culture is maintaining an environment of professionalism that encourages communication and promotes high-quality care. Behavior that undermines a culture of safety, including disruptive or intimidating behavior, has a negative effect on the quality and safety of patient care. Intimidating behavior and disruptive behavior are unprofessional and should not be tolerated. Confronting disruptive individuals is difficult. Co-workers often are reluctant to report disruptive behavior because of fear of retaliation and the stigma associated with "bl...
Committee Opinion Number 661, April 2016
(Reaffirmed 2018)
ABSTRACT: Immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases is an essential component of women's primary and preventive health care. Despite the importance of vaccination and clear guidance from public health agencies, rates of vaccination lag behind national goals. Obstetrician–gynecologists can play a major role in reducing morbidity and mortality from a range of vaccine-preventable diseases, including pertussis, influenza, human papillomavirus, and hepatitis. Given demonstrated vaccine efficacy and safety, and the large potential for prevention of many infectious diseases that affect adult...
Committee Opinion Number 622, February 2015
(Reaffirmed 2017)
ABSTRACT: Digital and social media quickly are becoming universal in modern medical practice. Data sharing, online reviews and ratings, and digital privacy concerns likely will become a part of most every physician's practice, regardless of his or her use of social media. The widespread use of social media in the United States brings unprecedented connectivity that opens new horizons for physicians, ranging from interactions with patients, to communication with peers and the public, to novel approaches to research.
Committee Opinion Number 621, January 2015
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 472, November 2010)
ABSTRACT: The advantages of health information technology (IT) include facilitating communication between health care providers; improving medication safety, tracking, and reporting; and promoting quality of care through optimized access to and adherence to guidelines. Health IT systems permit the collection of data for use for quality management, outcome reporting, and public health disease surveillance and reporting. However, improvement is needed with all health IT, especially regarding design, implementation, and integration between platforms within the work environment. Robust interopera...
Committee Opinion Number 599, May 2014
ABSTRACT: Confidentiality concerns are heightened during adolescence, and these concerns can be a critical barrier to adolescents in receiving appropriate health care. Health care providers caring for minors should be aware of federal and state laws that affect confidentiality. State statutes on the rights of minors to consent to health care services vary by state, and health care providers should be familiar with the regulations that apply to their practice. Parents and adolescents should be informed, both separately and together, that the information each of them shares with the health care...
Committee Opinion Number 567, July 2013
(Replaces No. 408, June 2008, Reaffirmed 2015)
ABSTRACT: Fellows of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists may choose to limit the scope of their practices to gynecology and, accordingly, may choose not to carry professional liability coverage for obstetrics. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists considers early pregnancy care to be within the scope of gynecology and gynecologic practice. Liability insurers that provide coverage for gynecology-only practices should provide coverage for clinical practice activities that involve the management of first-trimester and early second-trimester pregnancy and its...
Committee Opinion Number 546, December 2012
(Reaffirmed 2016. Replaces No. 461, August 2010)
ABSTRACT: An accurate and effective tracking or reminder system is useful for the modern practice of obstetrics and gynecology. Practices should not rely solely on the patient to complete all ordered studies and to follow up on health care provider recommendations. Health care providers should encourage their patients to complete studies believed essential for patient care within an acceptable time frame. Each office should establish a simple, reliable tracking and reminder system to facilitate communication, improve patient safety and quality of care, and minimize missed or delayed diagnoses.
Committee Opinion Number 541, November 2012
(Replaces No. 401, March 2008, Reaffirmed 2015)
ABSTRACT: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (the College) has a long history of leadership in ensuring that its educational mission is evidence based and unbiased. A predecessor to this Committee Opinion was published in 1985, making the College one of the first professional associations to provide guidance on this issue. The College has continued to update the ethical guidance on physician interactions with industry periodically. Obstetrician–gynecologists' relationships with industry should be structured in a manner that will enhance, rather than detract from, their ob...
Committee Opinion Number 523, May 2012
(Reaffirmed 2014)
ABSTRACT: Re-entering the practice of obstetrics and gynecology after a period of inactivity can pose a number of obstacles for a physician. Preparing for the leave of absence may help reduce the difficulties physicians may face upon re-entering practice.
Committee Opinion Number 510, November 2011
(Replaces No. 341, July 2006) (Reaffirmed 2017)
ABSTRACT: It is ethical for physicians to market their practices provided that the communication is truthful and not misleading, deceptive, or discriminatory. All paid advertising must be clearly identified as such. Producing fair and accurate advertising of medical practices and services can be challenging. It often is difficult to include detailed information because of cost and size restrictions or the limitations of the media form that has been selected. If the specific advertising form does not lend itself to clear and accurate description, an alternative media format should be selected....
Committee Opinion Number 480, March 2011
Reaffirmed 2017
ABSTRACT: Empathy is the process through which one attempts to project oneself into another's life and imagine a situation from his or her point of view. Most individuals do have an innate capacity to show empathy toward others. Empathy is as important to being a good physician as technical competence. However, at times the health care environment and educational process overly emphasize technological competence, curing disease rather than healing the patient, or the economic aspects of medicine. This may interfere with an empathic approach in the clinical setting. In this Committee Opinion, ...
Committee Opinion Number 390, December 2007
Reaffirmed 2016
ABSTRACT: Physicians vary widely in their familiarity with ethical theories and methods and their sensitivity toward ethical issues. It is important for physicians to improve their skills in addressing ethical questions. Obstetrician–gynecologists who are familiar with the concepts of medical ethics will be better able to approach complex ethical situations in a clear and structured way. By considering the ethical frameworks involving principles, virtues, care and feminist perspectives, concern for community, and case precedents, they can enhance their ability to make ethically justifiable cl...
Committee Opinion Number 385, November 2007
ABSTRACT: Health care providers occasionally may find that providing indicated, even standard, care would present for them a personal moral problem—a conflict of conscience—particularly in the field of reproductive medicine. Although respect for conscience is important, conscientious refusals should be limited if they constitute an imposition of religious or moral beliefs on patients, negatively affect a patient's health, are based on scientific misinformation, or create or reinforce racial or socioeconomic inequalities. Conscientious refusals that conflict with patient well-being should be a...
Committee Opinion Number 373, August 2007
ABSTRACT: The physician-patient relationship is damaged when there is either confusion regarding professional roles and behavior or clear lack of integrity that allows sexual exploitation and harm. Sexual contact or a romantic relationship between a physician and a current patient is always unethical, and sexual contact or a romantic relationship between a physician and a former patient also may be unethical. The request by either a patient or a physician to have a chaperone present during a physical examination should be accommodated regardless of the physician's sex. If a chaperone is prese...
Committee Opinion Number 370, July 2007
(Reaffirmed 2015)
ABSTRACT: Hospitals, academic institutions, professional corporations, and other health care organizations should have policies and procedures by which alleged violations of professional behavior can be reported and investigated. These institutions should adopt policies on legal representation and indemnification to protect those whose responsibilities in managing such investigations may expose them to potentially costly legal actions. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Committee on Ethics supports the position of the American Association of University Professors regardi...
Committee Opinion Number 365, May 2007
ABSTRACT: Consultations usually are sought when practitioners with primary clinical responsibility recognize conditions or situations that are beyond their level of expertise or available resources. One way to maximize prompt, effective consultation and collegial relationships is to have a formal consultation protocol. The level of consultation should be established by the referring practitioner and the consultant. The referring practitioner should request timely consultation, explain the consultation process to the patient, provide the consultant with pertinent information, and continue to c...

The unfolding NSW Liberal Party donation scandal is set to threaten the party's chances at the polls, a veteran MP says.
Hours after state upper house member Charlie Lynn made his prediction that the "peddlers of influence, the snake-oil spivs that inhabit the party" would hurt public confidence in the Liberals, NSW Premier Mike Baird vowed to purge wrongdoers from his ranks.
"I don't care what political badge you have," Mr Baird said.
"If you have done wrong and if ICAC has shown you have done wrong, then I am your worst nightmare."
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is investigating claims former Liberal cabinet minister Chris Hartcher funnelled $400,000 in donations through "sham" company EightByFive, and that the secret donors were rewarded with political favours.
It is alleged Tim Koelma, a staffer of Mr Hartcher, asked his brother Eric to help him lodge a false corruption complaint against then Sydney Water managing director Kerry Schott, who was locked in a dispute with alleged donor Australian Water Holdings (AWH).
"Yay black ops!" Mr Koelma wrote as he sent damaging allegations about Dr Schott to his brother.
Counsel assisting, Geoffrey Watson SC, told the commission on Wednesday the term "black ops" usually referred to clandestine, illegal operations carried out by government agents.
But it had another meaning in Young Liberal circles.
"Black ops was what we lightheartedly called hard work, going out and putting up signs in the electorate," former Hartcher staffer and former Terrigal Young Liberals president Aaron Henry said.
"The vast majority of the work was Young Liberals, on ladders, climbing up telegraph poles."
Documents tendered to the commission show Mr Henry was even inspired to write a rule book for the Young Liberals' missions after watching the cult Brad Pitt film Fight Club.
"You do not talk about black ops," the rules began.
"If this is your first night at black ops, you have to slash."
Mr Henry agreed the "black ops" included bringing down political opponents' signs, and Mr Koelma would have been familiar with the term.
It's alleged that as part of the campaign against Dr Schott, Mr Hartcher's office went hunting for damaging information with a Freedom of Information request, but arranged for the request to be lodged by Mr Lynn to disguise its origin.
Mr Lynn - who is not accused of wrongdoing - told the commission he thought the request was about sharing the burden of the $30 application, and did not question it.
But he now realises he was used.
"The links to developers, the lobbyists on state executive, the peddlers of influence, the snake-oil spivs that inhabit the party ... they've actually fractured their integrity and that's going to take a long time to heal," Mr Lynn said.
"It's certainly going to make the election much closer."
He said full public election funding could be one way to restore faith in the state's political machine.

Armbrust, Bond Score
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. – The Yale men's soccer team was dominant in its final non-conference game of the season, and it showed in the result. Scott Armbrust scored late in the first half, and Keith Bond added an insurance goal early in the second half as the Bulldogs cruised to a 2-0 victory over Central Connecticut.
Yale (4-9-1) outshot the Blue Devils 17-3 in the game. Goalkeeper Blake Brown was not forced to make a save in posting his third shutout of the season.
"Overall, it was a really good, solid team performance," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins. "We got contributions from a lot of different guys.
Tompkins was concerned that his team might be feeling the after-effects of Saturday's heartbreaking overtime loss at Penn. That worry was put to rest quickly. Yale dominated the opening 45 minutes, outshooting the Blue Devils 11-1.
"The team responded in the best possible way," Tompkins said.
Still, it did take the Bulldogs a little time to finally break through. Despite Yale's dominance, it was still scoreless heading into the final five minutes of the first half. Armbrust, though, quickly changed that when his shot deflected off a Central defender and just inside the post at 41:02. It was Armbrust's first goal of the season, and freshman Henry Flugstad-Clarke notched his first career assist on the play.
Early in the second half, Bond, a sophomore, scored his first career goal. It came when he fired a shot into the top right corner at 55:21. Pablo Espinola, also a sophomore, earned his first career assist on the play.
"It was nice to get some different players on the score sheet," Tompkins said.
The Bulldogs, who are three points out of first place in the Ivy League, finish up the season with three straight Ivy games – at Columbia on Saturday at 4 p.m., home for Brown on Nov. 9 and at Princeton on Nov. 16.

NirLauncher is a suite of almost 200 of NirSoft's excellent portable freeware Windows utilities, and provides an interface that makes it easy to find and launch the tools you need. Which works for us - because there's something here for everyone.
Have you forgotten a password stored in your browser or email client, for instance? Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you.
Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details.
Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing.
And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more.
Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site.
IMPORTANT: we've had to remove NirLauncher from our download servers as Google mistakingly flags it up as 'malware'. The download link here now points to the NirLauncher website.

Miley Cyrus: 'VH1 Divas' Concert Performer!
Miley Cyrus checks out some new swag while shopping at Reformation on Thursday (November 8) in West Hollywood, Calif.
The 19-year-old entertainer was just named a performer at the VH1 Divas concert, which is set to air on December 16!

Dr. Ernest Zeringue was looking for a niche in the cutthroat industry of fertility treatments.
He seized on price, a huge obstacle for many patients, and in late 2010 began advertising a deal at his Davis, Calif., clinic unheard of anywhere else: Pregnancy for $9,800 or your money back.
That's about half the price for in vitro fertilization at many other clinics, which do not include money-back guarantees. Typically, insurance coverage is limited and patients pay again and again until they give birth — or give up.
Those patients use their own eggs and sperm — or carefully select donors when necessary — and the two are combined in a petri dish to create a batch of embryos. Usually one or two are then transferred to the womb. Any embryos left over are the property of the customers.

The Town of Kearny is situated in the northwest corner of Hudson County where it meets Bergen and Essex Counties. The Hackensack and Passaic Rivers, respectively, form the Town's eastern and western boundaries. Kearny is bounded by the Hackensack River/Jersey City on the east, East Newark/Harrison on the south, the Passaic River/ Belleville on the west, and North Arlington on the north. Its location is: Latitude 40:45:05 N, Longitude 74:07:11 W.
Important Topics
Access & Transportation
The Town enjoys access to a number of highways, including the NJ Turnpike from north to south and Interstate Route 280 from east to west. There are also easy access to the Garden State Parkway, another north to south highway, as well as US Routes 1 & 9, 3, 7, 17 and 21; all providing excellent linkages to the New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Boston, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, and Washington DC metropolitan regions, and all greatly enhancing access to the region's metropolitan markets.
Work is currently underway to connect two county roadways, Schuyler Avenue and the Newark-Jersey City Turnpike, a.k.a., Harrison Avenue, by extending Kearny's Bergen Avenue east/southeast by approximately one-half mile through a designation redevelopment area in the Hackensack Meadowlands.
The Town is within a few minutes of the Hudson River waterfront, Newark International Airport, Teterboro Airport, and Ports Newark and Elizabeth.
Land Use
The total area of Kearny is 10.19 square miles, of which 9.14 sq. mi. is land area and 1.05 sq. mi is water area. The 9.14 square miles within the Town's boundaries are divided into three- (3) broad sections, referred to locally as the "Uplands", the "Hackensack Meadowlands" and "South Kearny".
Of the total land area, an estimated 21% is residential and commercial and 20% is industrial. The Hackensack Meadowlands area covers approximately 59%, or 5.5 square miles, of the Town's land area. While properties in this area are assessed by the Town and taxes are collected by the Town, such properties are under the control of the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission relative to development and all capital improvements as well as planning and zoning issues.
The Town's principal industrial area is situated on the South Kearny peninsula, at the confluence of the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers at Newark Bay. The Pulaski Skyway and US Routes 1 and 9 cross over, or run through, the South Kearny industrial area. This area is also home to a major CS/X inter-modal facility, and other rail access is available for freight, and if justified, commuting.
The principal commercial and shopping areas stretch along Kearny Avenue, Kearny's " Main Street", the principal thoroughfare running through the Town, as well as the southern end of Passaic Avenue. This area of Passaic has recently been designated as one of the Town's Redevelopment areas. There are also commercial and retail businesses along Schuyler Avenue as well as the Newark-Jersey City Turnpike.
The residential area is in the eastern and northwestern portions of the Town, the "Uplands". Some sections are graced with fine Victorian and manor homes; others have homes indicative of a suburban community. A number of multi-family dwellings are scattered throughout the residential area, and the town maintains a fair amount of two (2) family homes. Single-family units account for 32.5% of the total housing stock, while 57.2% consists of multi-family structures fewer than 10 units in size. 10.2% of the housing units are multi-family apartment buildings.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'America' tag.
I received an email earlier today that contained a link to a Youtube video. This video was about a guy that showed up at an Obama victory rally and tried to express his "Freedom of Speech". Here's the full lenth video.
He was carrying a toy sword in his shirt, and this may have been why he was asked to leave. Still worse though he went there to express his opinion, and was going about it all wrong. He was actually arrested for not following the order to leave, but the cops never bothered to take the toy sword from him (It gets stolen by one of the Obama's supporter during the video). Unfortunately, we don't see what he actually did to be asked to leave, all we see is the police forcing him around and finally handcuffing the guy. They even hit the guy holding the camera at one point who was just a bystander to the event. At any rate, this kind of thing is becoming more and more a reality as the powers that be push their ideas and concepts on us and the rest of the world.
Sadly, there are a ton of idiots out there that voted for Obama, with no real clue what Obama stands for. I talked to a bunch of people who voted for Obama and none of them really had a clue what Obama stood for. Mainly their answers were "Obama will end the war in Iraq". Even worse, Howard Stern decided to put this "Obama" craze to the test. Here's what he found out about people voting for Obama.
Take note that they switched up Obama's and McCain's concepts to put these people on the spot. Unfortunately, these same people voted for Obama even when they had no real clue what Obama stands for at all.
Think about it, all these people who voted for Obama are clueless to what Obama really stands for, and still they voted for him because he was "Black" or because he stated he would end the war in Iraq. Get ready folks, Obama has made it clear if anything happens to America he will stand with the Muslims, don't believe me, go read the books he wrote. I'm willing to bet most of the people who voted for Obama never even bothered to read up on him or his writings before hand.
One last thing… Obama has made it real clear that he loves the idea of a "North American Union", but plays dumb when ever he gets questioned about it on national television. So I am willing to bet we'll soon be in it as far as Obama is concerned. Besides, those people that failed to see what Obama stands for and went ahead and voted for him because he'll end the war in Iraq are all convinced Obama will "Change" America. Granted I feel America has long needed a change, but I don't think Obama's idea of change is what America actually needs. He also supports the concept of "Partial Birth Abortions", something gruesome and disgusting to snuff out a life before its even born.
This is all I have left to say, Obama clearly wants to go to war with Afganistan as well as dealing with Iran. The future of America is looking more and more grim by the minute as the days continue to expire. Soon all that is left to be done is to start marking people, a mark many people may take just as quickly as they voted for Obama without a clue as to what it all really means.
May God end this madness soon!

So Bill Gates was tired of VisualBasic and now did some Perl, too bad; this script has a security flaw that allows everyone access to the company records! Fix the flaw for him!
chomp(my $User = `/usr/bin/whoami`);
print "Checking your access level...\n";
if ($User == 'BillGates')
print "Authorized! Here are the company records:\n" . `cat /home/BillGates/CompanyRecords.db`;
die("You're not authorized!\n");
OK, so there seems to be quite a lot of emphasis on the fact that it's Bill Gates. He's used to C++ (and VB) syntax, which gives us a clue. Is there something about Perl syntax that differs quite significantly from most languages?
Perhaps this will help:
Essentially this should be simple for anyone who's experienced in Perl (which incidentally doesn't include myself :S) - hope I haven't given *too* much away

U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., encouraged the Fort Lewis College class of 2012 to take risks and embrace every adventure thrown at them in his commencement address to the now FLC alumni.
There is a value in taking risks, dreaming of something crazy and seeing where itll take you, Udall said. You will always miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.
The graduates, their friends and families packed Whalen Gymnasium on the FLC campus Saturday for the two graduation ceremonies.
Udall acknowledged that adventures may be difficult to take in the face of lack of certainty in todays current economy, but he told the graduates to pursue lifes adventures anyway.
Graduates are entering a job market still in upheaval from the recession. The unemployment rate in Colorado is 7.8 percent, compared with a national jobless rate of 8.2 percent, according to a March 2012 report form the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
There were 433 graduates, including 11 computer sciences and information systems majors a program that has been cut for next year.
All programs and majors went up for review in 2012 because of state cuts to higher education, leading agriculture and Southwest studies to be cut along with the computer sciences program.
With the prospect of student-loan interest rates increasing from 3.4 to 6.8 percent, Udall used his commencement speech to make a promise to graduates that he would continue fighting for common sense in the Senate to keep student-loan interest rates down.
He had previously promised to keep politics out of his speech.
Using his previous experience of going door-to-door to garner votes while running for the Colorado House of Representatives, he told the graduates to stay fully committed to whatever they do and anything will be possible.
Our country and our world is counting on you. We need you, Udall said.

Justin Long rose from TV and indie features to supporting and starring roles in major features like " Accepted" (2006), " Live Free or Die Hard" (2007) and " He's Just Not That into You" (2009). Long's droll timing and refusal to mug was crucial in elevating him from his early roles as social misfits on TV's " Ed" to nervous but capable young men in the mold of Jack Lemmon for the aforementioned projects, as well as " Herbie: Fully Loaded" (2005) and " Zack and Miri Make a Porno" (2008). His low-key presence in a series of popular television ads for Apple computer increased his visibility in 2006 and beyond, which in turn helped to make him one of the most likable and dependable comic actors in film.
Born Justin Jacob Long ihe was the second of three sons born to R. James Long, a philosophy professor at Fairfield University, and Broadway actress Wendy Lesniak. His mark on Fairfield College Preparatory School was perhaps best summed up by his yearbook superlative – " Most Likely Not to Be Seen in Class" – but he continued his education at Vassar College, where he appeared in several plays, as well as the sketch comedy group Laughingstock. Long cut his college education short to pursue his acting career, which began in earnest in 1999 with the Disney live-action film " Galaxy Quest."
The comedy, which cast Long as a nervous computer aficionado who aids the cast of his favorite sci-fi television series in landing a real spaceship, did much to establish his early screen persona. Despite his admission that his computer knowledge was, at best, limited, he tackled socially awkward, technologically inclined young men in comedies like " Happy Campers" (2001) and " Raising Genius" (2004). However, his best showcase during this period was as affable nerd Warren Cheswick on the television series " Ed." Though Warren endured the typical slings and arrows of high school life, the series' upbeat tone allowed him more than a few victories along the way, and even a few brushes with romance.
Long also broke successfully out of the misfit mold in several features. The hit horror film " Jeepers Creepers" (2001) cast him as a wise-cracking traveler who is pursued by a humanoid monster during a cross-country trip, while the Britney Spears vehicle " Crossroads" (2002) afforded him a moment in the teen idol spotlight as the singer-turned-actress's prom date and first screen kiss. The success of both projects increased Long's profile in the feature world, and led to more prominent roles in comedies and the occasional indie drama.
Though Long's post-" Ed" characters continued to toe the oddball line, his comic timing gradually elevated him from sidekick status to second lead and even starring roles in films with such box office champs as Ben Stiller and Lindsay Lohan. He was a member of Vince Vaughn's hapless " Average Joe" team in Stiller's broad comedy " Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" (2004), then took top billing as a slacker biding his time as a server at a greasy spoon in " Waiting… " (2005) with Ryan Reynolds and Dane Cook.
The Disney comedy " Herbie: Fully Loaded" (2005) gave him another shot at screen romance, this time opposite Lohan, while the lowbrow " Sasquatch Gang" (2006) allowed him to stretch his comedy skills as a dim-witted opportunist seeking to cash in on an alleged Bigfoot sighting. He reunited with Vaughn for " The Break-Up" in 2006 before landing his second starring role in " Accepted" (2006). The comedy cast him as a scheming high schooler who creates his own college to distract his parents from his failing grades. Though each subsequent film helped make Long more visible in the entertainment industry, it was a series of television commercials that truly cemented his place on the post-millennial pop culture map.
In 2006, Long was partnered with humorist John Hodgman in a series of extremely well-received television ads for Apple computers, which boosted his profile considerably in 2007, which saw him co-starring with Bruce Willis and finding a place in Judd Apatow's cabal of comedy players.
The blockbuster " Live Free or Die Hard" (2007) cast him again as a computer jockey, though this time with the skills to aid Willis' indestructible cop John McClain in stopping a terrorist plot to shut down the United States' communication systems. Long also lent his voice to lead chipmunk Alvin in the live-action film version of the long-running cartoon series " Alvin and the Chipmunks" (2007) before giving an amusing impersonation of " Sgt. Pepper" -era George Harrison in the Apatow-produced biopic parody " Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" (2007).
2008 saw Long firmly in comedy mode, with appearances in features ranging from the critically reviled " Strange Wilderness" to Kevin Smith's comedy hit " Zack and Miri Make a Porno," where he broke amusingly from type as a gay adult film star who helps inspire Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks to pursue their own fortune in pornography.
2009 was one of Long's busiest to date, with roles in films by the likes of Sam Raimi ("Drag Me to Hell" ), Miguel Arteta ("Youth in Revolt") and Cheryl Hines ("Serious Moonlight" ), as well as " Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel" on deck. In Planet 51, a new animated feature, Long lends his voice to innocent alien Lem, who befriends human earthling Captain Charles T. Baker [Dwayne Johnson]. Long talked to Paul Fischer in this exclusive interview.
Question: Do actors do these kinds of animated movies because for the child within? I mean, is that part of the appeal?
Long: Absolutely. I think just kind of participating in a different genre, is kind of nice. I'd like to do as many different types of movies as I can, and the challenge of trying to make that real. That, like, whole animated thing. Just to give them as much of a voice as the animators have, and try to help bring that to life.
Question: What, to you, is the challenge of creating the light vocal tone?
Long: Well with this, because I have a much deeper voice than I think people maybe realize, I just talked about pitching it up. It was really simple, actually and just having that constant reminder of his innocence, and his age. I think that just really naturally helped pitch it up and there were times when it was frustrating, because you want to give just as honest a performance, without having to worry about the tone – the intonation of the voice but it took me several years to finish recording, over which time I think my voice actually got a couple octaves deeper.
Question: It must be a challenge in itself, to go back and forth like that.
Long: Yeah, yeah. Obviously, the three directors were listening pretty closely and all the sound guys were really on top of the exact tone of my voice, but, yeah, it was difficult. It was frustrating for me to kind of always remember where to be and, you know, you also don't want to sound like you're forcing your voice, you don't want to sound like you're really pushing it, it'd just be annoying. At one point, before Planet 51, I had gotten cast as Despereaux in Tale of Despereaux and I recorded several sessions with them, over the course of a couple of months. It was a dream job, because I got to work with greats, like Kevin Kline, Dustin Hoffman and Tony Shalhoub, my heroes. And then they replaced me, because they said that my voice was too low. And Gary, the director, didn't want me – and I was like, " I can force it." Because when we first started recording, I kind of forced it up a little bit and he was like, " No, that just makes it unnatural, and it's not right, and I don't want you to have to worry about that. You just do your voice." It turns out they replaced me with Matthew Broderick, which was actually quite a compliment, as he was another childhood hero of mine.
Question: Well, with this one, I guess, it's The Rock and Jessica Biel. So, I don't suppose that's not too shabby –
Long: Not too shabby. We got Gary Oldman, too, and John Cleese, none of whom I worked directly with. It was different than my Tale of Despereaux experience, because Gary was actually having the actors interact. He felt it would give it a sort of immediacy, and like, organic flow, that being in a booth by yourself just doesn't create.
Question: Do you find it frustrating, being alone?
Long: Oh, yeah. I mean, on the one hand, it's liberating, because you don't have to worry about what you look like, and I tend to gesticulate a lot, so I could, wildly throw my hands around as much as possible without being sort of self-aware of my body and you can channel everything into your voice. So in that sense, it's liberating and it's kind of fun having someone else to bounce off of was really tricky. It's like, a whole different type of acting and you feel a bit schizophrenic, too, creating both sides. I would have loved to have done it directly with those guys, especially since we could have found some fun ad libs, or could have improvised moments, maybe. I think it helps make it more natural, but I saw the movie, and I would never have been able to tell.
Question: Now, in the years that we've spoken, your career has continually gone in leaps and bounds. How surprised are you by that? And what further challenges do you face as an actor, in this particular stage of your career?
Long: Well, I'm surprised as probably most everyone is, everyone but my mother, who's like, " No. I knew it." [LAUGHTER] No, she's not, actually. She's shocked, as well. But not a day goes by when I don't count my blessings and have an awareness of how fortunate I am. I don't come from a classically-trained background. I don't have, like movie star looks. let's face it. I'm kind of a shitty actor. So [LAUGHTER] – so, I – no, no, no, no, no. I'm fishing for compliments. But, I did a movie called Afterlife that was a really intense kind of dramatic role and I found it so terrifying to do, because I didn't know that I'd be able to go to these places. But it was also incredibly gratifying, in a way that a lot of movies I've done haven't been, in that way. They've been gratifying in other ways, but this was a whole different type of creative satisfaction. I'd love to do more dramatic movies. I'd kind of love to just work with people who are good. I know that's such a trite, cliche answer. But I'm getting to work with Robert Redford now, and it's sort of a surreal experience.
Question: Is that the film that he's directing?
Long: He's directing – it's called The Conspirators
Question: About Abraham Lincoln.
Long: Yes, and a story that was completely unfamiliar to me. It's really fascinating about the conspiracy surrounding the assassination, and the woman who ran the boarding house where Booth and all the conspirators would meet. It's a really cool story. But I have a small part, very small part.
Question: Whom do you play?
Long: I play James McAvoy's friend. It's really a very peripheral role, but it's just an honor to be in the company of these actors. Tom Wilkinson, and Kevin Kline, and McAvoy himself is great and to be directed by Redford – it's a really cool, surreal experience. But I also just love playing different types of characters. I don't necessarily need to be the lead, or do big studio movies, I just want to do as many cool little characters as I can, before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
Question: No – my God, you're a long way.
Long: Sorry, I got really weird and morbid. Sorry. [LAUGHTER] I got dark!
Question: What else are you working on?
Long: I finished this movie Going the Distance this summer, a rom-com. But it's a lot more kind of raw and realistic, I think, than most of those movies are. I'm excited about that. But right now, I'm kind of just reading scripts and I just finished writing one. So after The Conspirator, I'm working on my tan.
Question: Do you want to write and direct?
Long: I do, I do. I really do. I'm dying to. And there's something that I've written, that I'm really excited about, that I wrote with my little brother, and an actor named Keir O'Donnell, who I did The Break-Up with, and this Vince Vaughn Comedy Tour with, and we became really good friends. We wrote this script, that I think is good. I think we're ready to kind of put it out there, and try to get it made.
Question: Is it a comedic script?
Long: Yeah, it is, but it gets kind of serious. It's a relationship movie, about this guy who falls in love with this girl from afar, and kind of stalks her on the internet. He doesn't stalk her, but he – without – giving too much away – not that the world's clamoring to know. [LAUGHTER] Spoiler alert! He sort of creates his own profile to mirror hers, to kind of attract her.
Question: That sounds intriguing.
Long: Yeah, it's good. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, so I hope we can get people interested. Other than that, there's just been a bunch of little parts I've done that are coming out and hopefully I'll do something next year. I don't know. It's kind of nice having a couple of days off.

Nuclear Power and Foreign Policy (Iran, North Korea, and others)
One of the issues that's likely to become only more pressing with time is that of who is allowed to possess nuclear technology. Sanctions are levied by the international community (most, if not all, of whom already possess nuclear technology) against other countries attempting to obtain nuclear technology, regardless of the reason that nuclear technology is desired.
The primary argument against nuclear proliferation is over the fear that nuclear technology will find its way into weapons. Nuclear weaponry is more destructive than conventional ballistic weaponry, and the potential destruction that could be caused is immense. In order to prevent nations deemed unstable or untrustworthy from acquiring nuclear technology, the international community imposes sanctions against those who seek it and attempts to lightly subsidize the needs of those who do not attempt to acquire it.
I do not find the current situation to be maintainable. As society progresses its need for energy grows. Older power generation technologies are being decried as environmentally unfriendly. In many ways, nuclear power is the answer. To prevent other countries from obtaining nuclear technology for energy needs is extremely disabling to the growth of those countries. Rather than imposing a blanket ban on the technology, it seems that a better diplomacy move would be to offer to provide those countries with nuclear technology and work closely with them to ensure that it is only used for energy. Ideally an impartial third party organization goverened by international oversight would be set up for this task.
As it stands, I believe that desperation will ultimately lead most nations to obtain nuclear technology, regardless of sanctions imposed against them.
There are a number of other arguments that I have in mind favoring the somewhat controlled spread of the technology, but I'd like to inquire how others feel about the issue. What are good reasons for and against the spread or ban of nuclear technology to those countries that do not already possess it?

and they've had 'em for 30 years.
thing is, Israel is the other side of the equation... they ain't talking about erasing Iran.. they'll just do it if Iran even LOOKS like they're close... *POOF*
Meanwhile we got twits trying to make a case for Iran building a nuke pile while they're sitting on oil supplies, they only need to build non threatening oil refineries for to utilize all that oil for literally dirt cheap 'energy'. It's like a 9 year old kid that can't be trusted to not loose the TV remote making a 'case' on why he/she should get a new cell phone.

Maybe people should stop and think here. Is Iran's nuclear program a cover for weapons development? Perhaps, though having nuclear weapons would actually put Iran in a weaker position as simply having them invites an Israeli first strike, and they can't strike at Israel without destroying the third holiest city in islam. So why else would they want nuclear power? Could it be that they don't see their oil supplies as being sufficient for long term use?

Let's look at facts.
Fact; whether it be nuclear weaponry OR nuclear energy, uranium needs to be refined and can not be distinguished without evaluating finished product.
Fact; Iran have been stating from the beginning that IAEA can have as many inspections as they wish.
Fact; Iran's main source of foreign income is OIL and would rather sell it at high value then to spend it domestically knowing it is a limited source.
Fact; Iran has NOTHING to gain by attacking Israel
Fact; Iran created an oil market that does not limit transaction currency to US dollar which is the FIRST of it's kind.
Fact; The US have been eyeing Iran as an obstacle (like Cuba) within ME diplomacy ever since the Iran revolution overthrowing the US puppet Pakravan regime.
Fact; Iran is a minority within the Muslim state being Shia Islam.
The answer is in front of you if you really try to understand.

Every word must conjure
It seems the direction of this thread thus far seems to concern Iran. All 4 posts seem to point out what I was planning to say: that the nuclear non-proliferation treaty serves a chiefly political function - and "non-proliferation" is defined by certain powerful states over lesser ones.
Although I might make an exception to N. Korea. For one thing, I'm a bit surprised that The Bush Administration has actually softened its stance on North Korea (despite North Koreans' belligerence) and has come down even harsher on Iran (who hasn't been making much noise).
So I openly wonder: who exactly defines the management & regulation of nuclear technology?
And looks like there might be a new state which will go nuclear soon - with some unusual reactions.

As difficult as it was to live with, deterrence kept the US and USSR from using nuclear weapons for nearly half a century. We've not seen a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan, nor between either of those states and China, despite decades of conflict. So far military and civilian leaders appear to believe that using a nuclear weapon against a similarly-armed state is not a recipe for success on the battlefield.
The bigger problem is, of course, the growing access to high technology across the globe. To use a overworked cliche, "the nuclear genie is out of the bottle" and will never be put back. Policies based on attempting to discourage non-nuclear states from acquiring nuclear technologies seem to me to be doomed to failure. Look how well we've done with North Korea. Nor are we in a moral position to tell other nations to remain non-nuclear. The fact that we did not substantially reduce our inventory of deliverable warheads after the fall of Communism was, to me, the biggest single failure of the Clinton Administration.
Back in the seventies, one of my colleagues who taught international relations argued that the United States's best approach to nuclear proliferation was to enter into treaties with potential target nations that promised nuclear reprisals against states that used nuclear weapons against the allied target. At the time that seemed a horrifying idea to me, but over the years it makes more and more sense. Why should Iran need to fear an Israeli nuclear attack? Why not offer the Iranians (or anyone else) a guarantee that should they be attacked by a nuclear weapon the US, in concert with its allies, would retaliate against the attacker?
Obviously this approach only works if we know who the attacker is. When nuclear devices had to be delivered by bombers or missiles that was a reasonable approach. In a world where "suitcase nukes" are a real possibility, finding the attacker may not be so easy. That's why I'd still support the current international regime that tracks and manages things like fissile material and enrichment technologies. But I'd still make deterrence a significant part of any effort to thwart a nuclear war.
Tactical nuclear weapons are a whole other ball game. I don't find many compelling arguments for them militarily because of the "collateral damage" they'd inevitably spread across the globe. I also think missile defense is an extremely complicated issue. While we'd all love to be able to be made safer by technology, ABM systems are also fundamentally destabilizing in a world of offensive weapons. The Soviets feared that an effective American missile defense system would inevitably make it easier to launch a first strike attack against the USSR. "Mutual assured destruction," as crazy a notion as it seems, kept the world safe for a very long time. Once the "assured" part comes into question, the pressures for gaining the upper-hand against a nuclear-armed opponent become much stronger.

Before the US complain other other nation's nuclear foreign policy, they should first look at themselves. When it comes to American foreign policy regarding nuclear power, shouldn't it include the trust and respect of allies? Once again, a US nuclear vehicle upsets a US ally.
If the US miscommunicates with allies and causes tension within bilateral relations, what happens if the US miscommunicates with countries like Iran and North Korea, will it start a nuclear war?

I'll just add that I consider America's unwavering support of Israel's policies since the 1967 war to be one of the major obstacles to any resolution of the situation in the Middle and Near East. Even if we accept the premise that Israel is an "ally" (a relationship not established by any formal treaty), that doesn't mean I think we should simply sit back and say it's okay for them to use a nuclear device against a third party. Unless you're willing to accept the "axis of evil" interpretation about Iran, I'd suggest re-reading the list of items that Tri-ring presented.
With the sole exception of Israel, where our foreign policy has been overt and essentially consistent for decades, the US has generally carried forward the type of duplicitous behavior in the Middle East that we associate with British and French imperialism. Remember that we've chosen to support both Saddam Hussein (directly) and Osama bin Laden (indirectly via CIA ties with Pakistan's ISI and with the help of the Saudis) when we thought it was to our advantage. In 1953 we engineered the coup that restored the Iranian monarchy when American and British decision-makers feared the Mossadegh government would nationalize Iran's oil fields. Oil is a dirty substance, and it tends to stain everyone and everything it touches. Our hands are not clean in any of these countries, and the people that live in those nations know that much better than we Americans do.
Back in the 1980's when the nuclear "freeze" movement was at its height, a friend asked me if I thought I'd ever see a nuclear device detonated in my lifetime. I replied that I thought I would, but not as the consequence of an inter-state war. I believed then, and still believe today, that nuclear terrorism poses a much greater threat. If we could determine some method for deterring nuclear terrorism as effective as the methods we devised to deter nuclear war, the world would be a much safer place. Unfortunately it's a lot harder to deter non-state actors who often have little to lose and much to gain.

If we do nuke them, then we've just shown that it's pointless to have a relationship with us, as we'll blow you off the face of the earth with no second thought regardless. If we do nothing, we're showing that we're a paper tiger and unwilling to honor our treaty obligations. Either case undermines US influence and power, and could potentially trigger an arms build up as nations who thought they were safe under the US nuclear umbrella now find themselves anything but and start scrambling for a deterrence ability of their own.
Even if such a situation doesn't happen, such a policy would be held up as an example of US arrogence and imperialism.
It's one thing to have an unoffical policy like that regarding actual allies. For example, I don't think anyone doubts if North Korea used nuclear weapons on South Korea or Japan that the US would respond. However, if you have it for every nation, you're asking for trouble. Getting away from the Israel-Iran example, what about India and Pakistan? Should the US be committed to launch if one of those countries launches a first strike on the other?

That is why, you need to stop that from happening. You cannot take a risk on something like that. It takes a lot of evil courage to pull that trigger, but, we know there are people who would do that without having a second thought, and even with an excuse of following their religious beliefs.
And, if you want everyone to have access to the nuclear power without letting them develop that power themselves, then the solution is simple, even though costly. Build in a friendly nation, and distribute that energy based on an agreement that cannot be void no matter what.

reasons for spreading it - obvious as well. it's a relatively clean, efficient and major source of energy, far more environmentally friendly than fossile fuels and with a much greater energetic potential than alternative power sources like wind or solar energy.
the rest of it - orbital and airborne lasers, EMP, etc - is more science-fiction than reality. it has partially been built and tested, but in the next 50 or so years will probably still remain completely useless against a serious nuclear BM strike.

Let's assume Iran doesn't hold back and is able to take Israel out completely in a first strike with no counterattack. Iran just nuked Jerusalem and is now embargoed by, if not at war with the rest of the islamic world.
There is simply no scenerio I can see for Iran launching a nuclear weapon against Israel that works out to their benefit.

Israel nukes Iran <=> US nukes Iran.
Iran on the other hand - so far - has nothing. maybe a couple low-yield warheads in the near future. while it is enough for millions of victims in Israel, it is certainly not enough to take out all of Israel's nuclear capacities. and if there's a nuclear attack on Israel by Iran, the US would in all likelihood perform a nuclear counterattack as well - with obvious consequences.

The problem is that the France is the one who gave the atomic bomb to Israel and now they are like always, all european countries absolutely against the fact that Iran wants it.
So where is the justice here ?
Of course Iran is a muslim country which has a lot of precedent concerning the terrorism, so it goes without saying that imagining this country in possesion of the nuclear weapon is all but reassuring.
However at the same time, Israel is not the perfect example of the country where human rights are respected.
Giving the bomb to Israel created an enormous strategic unbalance allowing the jewish strategist to exercice a nuclear blackmail not only on their arabic neighbours but also on superpowers like United States by example.
I find it paradoxical that countries which are responsible of this time trial to obtain the nuclear weapon in the middle East want now to restrain the access at nuclear .
You cannot give the bomb to your ally and saying after " To want nuclear weapon nowadays will just rekindle useless tensions".
And I do not want to be harsh but the fact is the IAEA is just as useless as UN since they have no real powers.
It's been a long time since I do not expect anything from them. They're on the contrary, strong to say for the IAEA :" We are alarmed by X country nuclear weaponization" or for the UN : " We adopted the resolution number X" , " We absolutely condemn..." . And in majority of the case it stays as it is.
Using negociations instead of threats is more likely to have an impact on civilian populations of the countries which still don't want to stop their weaponization.
Of course concessions have to be made ( territory,civil material, petrol area...) if not, it's clearly without hope.

Also, while what you say may be true in the minds of some, Israel has in the past openly defied the US and did whatever they wanted. While the US has always stood behind Israel in the end, that does not mean that everything Israel does is approved or condoned by the US before hand.

A lively push-and-pull between soybeans and corn could be developing in the wake of USDA's March 31 Prospective Plantings Report, which pegged lower-than-expected U.S. corn acres and higher-than-expected soybean plantings.
According to the report, corn growers intend to plant 86 million acres in 2008, compared to the average trade estimate of 87.39 million acres. Soybean producers intend to plant 74.8 million acres in 2008, compared to the average trade guess of 71.72 million acres.
A projected yield of 154 bushels per acre would produce a corn crop of about 12.2 billion bushels. Forecast usage of 13.02 billion bushels would leave ending stocks near 636 million bushels and an extremely tight stocks-to-use ratio of 4.9 percent.
If intended acreage holds, soybean production could be well over 3.1 billion bushels or higher at trend yield, which would push carryover over 300 million bushels, compared to less than 150 million bushels last year.
During a press briefing at the Chicago Board of Trade, analyst Terry Roggensack of the Hightower Report noted that the International Grains Council has pegged world corn production at 748 million tons, which is 24.3 million tons below the usage for the current year, "so we're going to draw world stocks down again.
"The world stocks-to-use ratio is already at a record low. If we draw world stocks down another 20 million tons, throw in a lot of rain in the Delta and southern Midwest and slow plantings, those are some bullish numbers for the corn market."
At the same time, USDA had a lower number for corn stocks in its quarterly grain stocks report. Roggensack says the lower stocks number for corn "suggests better feed usage during the past quarter. That's going to give us a bit tighter beginning stocks number as we look out into the coming year."
Don Roose, U.S. Commodities, calls the stocks/acreage situation "a double bullish situation for corn, because not only do you not have the acres needed for a bumper crop situation, you also have extremely strong feed usage."
The report itself could change what producers plant. At the end of the day on March 31, May soybean futures and November soybean futures closed 70 cents lower, while corn futures climbed modestly.
And weather is still a factor for corn planting, notes Roose. "We have some wet weather forecast for the next six to 10 days."
According to Roggensack, one reason soybean acreage ended higher was the difficulty corn producers had acquiring fertilizer. "Soybeans are easier to plant. With all the problems with the inputs and the high costs for corn, producers just jumped over and planted more beans."
One positive for soybean bulls is that Argentine producers have resumed their strike over the government imposing a higher export tax on soybeans, "which could cause short-term usage in the United States to be higher than anticipated," Roggensack said.
Roose believes the corn market will have to move to a rationing process to buy the corn acres and slow consumption. "It's definitely going to be a situation of feed versus fuel. Do we move to levels in ethanol plants, where they move back to 80 percent to 90 percent of capacity?"
"In general, the corn price outlook is positive, $6.20 to $6.25 for December corn," Roggensack.
Joe Victor, vice president of marketing for Allendale, Inc., said during a press conference at the Minneapolis Grain Exchange that higher intended soybean acreage is the result of Midwest farmers "getting back to their normal rotation," after shifting the balance toward corn last season. "Our survey indicates that the reason is more agronomic than economic in nature."
Victor believes that with 86 million acres of corn, ending stocks could plunge a billion bushels from last year to 482 million bushels. "It does imply a stock-to-use ratio of 4 percent, that would be a record level low dating back to 1980."
According to USDA's quarterly grain stocks report, there are 710 million bushels of wheat in stocks compared to a trade estimate of 666 million bushels. There are 6.86 billion bushels of corn, compared to 7.08 billion in trade estimates; and there are 1.43 billion bushels of soybeans compared to 1.36 billion bushels estimated. All wheat plantings came in at 63.8 million acres, compared to an estimated 63.63 million acres.
