Caporusso, Anna Maria, Zampieri, Alessia, Aronica, Laura Antonella and Banti, Donatella (2006) Stereoselective synthesis of chiral 3-aryl-1-alkynes from bromoallenes and heterocuprates. The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 71(5), pp. 1902-1910. ISSN (print) 0022-3263Full text not available from this archive.
The synthesis of chiral 3-aryl-1-alkynes 3 via cross-coupling of 3-alkyl- and 3,3-dialkyl-1-bromo-1,2-dienes 1 and arylbromocuprates (RCuBr)MgBr.LiBr 2 was examined. With phenylcopper reagents and its para-substituted derivatives, as well as with 2-naphthyl cuprates, the reaction gave compounds 3 with high regioselectivity and good yields on the chemically pure product. On the contrary, when ortho-substituted phenyl reagents and 1-naphthyl cuprates were used, the regioselectivity of the process was very dependent upon the steric requirements of the alkyl substituents on the bromoallenic substrate. When the steric bulk was increased, remarkable quantities of isomeric arylallenes 4 were also observed in the reaction mixtures. The high 1,3-anti stereoselectivity of the coupling process allowed us to obtain enantiomerically enriched 3-aryl-1-alkynes from optically active allenic substrates, thus indicating a simple pathway toward the synthesis of quaternary stereogenic centers characterized by an aryl group. A possible cross-coupling mechanism was also suggested to explain the regio- and stereochemical data. For the preparation of omega-functionalized 3-phenyl-1-alkynes, the reaction of 1-bromo-3-phenylpropadiene with Knochel reagents RCu(CN)ZnCl.2LiCl was also studied; this reaction led to the acetylenic compounds in high yields mainly when the R group (also omega-functionalized) on the copper reagent was primary.

There's too many ways for a place to have rental grade everything and be super affordable if they're keeping all the walls the same.FangKC wrote: ↑Sat Sep 15, 2018 3:57 amThe fastest way to create affordable housing is to renovate existing vacant houses that are not too far gone. I don't know what the current count is, but the last I heard was that were up to 14,000 vacant houses in KCMO. Some are owned by the Land Bank. Renovating an existing vacant house is often cheaper than building a new domicile.
While we were building we watched wood costs go up every month. Apparently our framing would have been 10% more expensive if we had waited just 6 months.
Yes, the trade war is making a lot of materials more expensive at a time when housing has already become too expensive for many residents.

Indian Road Accidents
Despite just 1.5% of the world's vehicle population, India manages to top world road accident charts with a disturbing 10% of all road-accidents! And this is a result of the lawlessness that prevails on our roads. Both from the authorities, and the people; road-ethics are ditched in favor of 'short-cuts', impatient behavior, and convenience. Its an extremely grim scenario, and one that needs urgent & crucial attention.
The fact of the matter is, nowhere is it safe on Indian roads. Be it the rural areas, our big cities, not even national highways. Everyone, on all types of roads, is constantly vulnerable to road accidents, that are in many cases, lethal! Such is the adverse impact of road-accidents, that the WHO estimates this menace to become the 3rd largest cause of injury, and the 6th largest cause of death, by 2020.
No user type is spared. Each road user type is subject to fatalities and the figures tell a rather bleak story. Topping the list are two-wheelers with 22%. Next up we have Cars/Taxis and Trucks with 13% & 11% respectively. And the scariest part, owing to a general lack of civic sense on our roads, even pedestrians are faced with road-accident fatalities amounting to 13%!
But while figures tell one side of the story, it is actual recorded incidents that portray the complete horror of loss of lives on our roads. With this are three such videos that encapsulate the extent of road-accident tragedies to some degree. In the first video, a sleepy part of Kerela witnesses an accident in broad day-light. The reason, an unmanned junction that the police seems to have ignored, and the civilian population is too callus to be careful about.
In the second video, we hear about the devastating end of a would-be pedestrian lady, that too in the nation's capital no less, who has been marooned to death by large commercial vehicles reportedly continually driving over her! And the 3rd video tells the case of a happy holiday group, who crash to their deaths out on the open highway!
Is really no place safe? No one secure? Some serious thought is solicited by the dismal state of our roads & the impending calamities across them. Its high time, for a road to change!

Smart and inclusive cities
The UNESCO webinar series aims to exchange…
Are you ready for the one-of-the-kind Frost & Sullivan's Intelligent Mobility event 2019? As a platform for industry experts, thought leaders, policy makers, city planners and researchers to discuss the future of mobility, the event will take place on July 10-11th at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower London.
Intelligent Mobility 2019 will provide a powerful forum for attendees to network with their peers and other stakeholders, debate the diverse philosophies that underpin 'mobility-as-a-service', examine the potential of new business models, and identify emerging revenue opportunities. We hope this will be a springboard to enabling and accelerating a bold new vision of the future of mobility. Frost & Sullivan's Intelligent Mobility 2018 drew over 350 delegates representing over 80 organisations from across the world. The event will include an impassioned debate on the interaction of intelligent mobility and smart cities held at the House of Lords, interactive exhibitions showcasing future technologies, test drives and vehicle displays.
Meet Vulog to discuss together how shared mobility technologies is radically altering the way people move around, live, work, and engage with their environment.

The president came, my husband saw him, and he lived up to our low expectations. My husband subsequently wrote a letter to the editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, and numerous people have thanked him for writing it.
The morning of the presidential appearance, my husband and I had a lengthy discussion of whether he should wear any of his numerous peace-related buttons or pins, or whether doing so would cause the Secret Service to reflexively deny him admittance. We settled on a relatively subtle bar-shaped pin with a peace sign over an American flag background. However, he later decided not to wear it, after further conversation with co-workers who felt he would be seriously jeopardizing his chances of getting in for the speech.
I watched the event on local TV news. The school gym was done up like every other political stop, draped in "No Child Left Behind" banners and a huge backdrop. The place was crammed with cameras and chairs, and every political figure representing anyone within 200 miles was in attendance. W spent the first several minutes of his time thanking and praising all of these assorted politicians, along with the school principal and superintendent. He was then — as he was, according to my husband, the entire time before and after his speech — a consummate good ol' boy, grinning and joking.
The speech itself was run-of-the-mill crap about NCLB, what a great law it is, and how it should be continued without substantive changes.
Keep in mind, this speech was at a school. Part of the point was to praise this elementary school, the children, and teachers, and the principal for achieving "adequate yearly progress" under NCLB. Thus, you might expect that children and teachers would be prominently on display before or during the speech, and/or that the president would spend a fair amount of time visiting classrooms. After all, the build-up to the visit was huge: The school was shined up to a fare-thee-well, and all the kids were hugely excited.
Well, guess what? Almost no kids laid eyes on the President of the United States, who was right there in their building. He didn't stop in any classrooms. His handlers made no effort to stage a situation with all the children in one place, where W could say hello for a few minutes. All the visitors behaved as though the children and teachers — the people who did the teaching and studying and test-passing — didn't exist. Later reports were that the students were hugely disappointed, and who can blame them?
Hey, kids, welcome to the world of politics, Bush style. You aren't old enough to vote; you're only a set of numbers to be talked about in the abstract — test scores to be held up as supposed evidence of the success of a failing education policy.
After his speech, W took plenty of time to shake hands with practically everyone in the room. My husband was not among them. He took some pictures of the president from a few feet away, but he felt no need for a personal photo with this laughing goofball who has failed at every venture he's ever touched and is now monumentally failing the American people.

First, if you don't subscribe to the excellent MusicREDEF newsletter, do it now.
Each day you get a carefully curated email with links to some of the best pieces on music, tech, or culture. Recently, I came across this article, "Why We Should Teach Music History Backwards," by Geoffrey Hines. It was written three years ago for the Smithsonian (who knew?), but some of the ideas Hines presented really connected with me. Here's Hines' thesis:
Think about it: how does one discover and fall in love with the music by the likes of the Black Keys? Is it through first investigating Charley Patton and then working the way through Son House, the Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd till finally reaching the Ohio-based blues-rock band? Not if you're under 35, because by the time you began listening to music, the Black Keys were already part of your world. Once hooked, you love them so much that you read every interview to find out who influenced them. That's how you and other true fans find out about the backwards progression to North Mississippi Allstars, R.L. Burnside, Mississippi Fred McDowell, and then finally back to Charley Patton.
In a nutshell, that describes exactly how music is disseminated through culture. I shared this article with a colleague and we both came to the conclusion to why can't other topics be taught in the same way? In particular, music theory.
I distinctly remember being a freshman in college with absolutely zero knowledge of standard notation and music theory. Where did we start? Bach chorales and voice leading. I slogged my through it, but at the time I didn't have that much appreciation for the classics. They were simply rote exercises that I had to get in my head in order to move to the next thing. Now, I'm not discounting how helpful learning about how Bach moved voices individually, but what if we approached it in a different way?
For example, say you want to learn about diatonic chord progressions. Check out the Beatles songbook. What about secondary dominants? Well, also the Beatles, but blues music — even the Black Keys — has some great examples. Extended intervals? Dave Matthews Band has made a career playing riffs with tenths (also, the Beatles). More advanced harmony? Hello, Steely Dan.
When I was teaching more regularly, I unknowingly took this approach with students both for theoretical concepts and techniques. I once had a young teenage girl come in for her first lesson. We started talking about music she was into and almost immediately she mentioned Paul Gilbert. What? That took us down the path of some shred, classic rock, and even a bit of prog that she would likely not have checked out for a while had we started with the dawn of rock guitar and moved forward.

Owing to the population density and massive pollution problem in Jakarta, much of daily life is spent indoors. Although the torrential rain, thunder and lightning doesn't start until about 1.45.p.m. the mornings can be unbearably warm and sticky making a trip to the swimming pool the only feasible outdoor activity for kids. Forgot long walks in the forest, or a bracing jaunt along the windy beach. Forget a morning in the park, happily handing around fruit shoots and Taytos, 99% of children's activity in Jakarta is indoor.
Having a three year old, takes you into a range of these indoor activity centres and the rules are much the same everywhere. No shoes, wear socks, in the event that you forget socks, they can provide same for the price of a two night trip to Singapore. No food or drinks in the activity areas. Smoking and the consumption of wine prohibited in the parents seating section, (this wasn't on the posted list of the rules,I found this one out myself). No pushing, shoving, spitting, swearing etc. etc. and the same applied to the children. Same rules apply everywhere, everywhere except Amazonia in Lippo Mall. Amazonia presumably referring to the Amazon, as inferred by the giant plastic monkey head at the entrance. Paying the entrance fee and donning the socks that I of course I had to buy because I always forget to bring, we stood at the gate of the play area waiting to be admitted but not before we had our temperature taken! – after paying the admission fee but before being admitted everyone's temperature had to be checked and if it was on the high side, then home you go. Try explaining that to a three year old that his day out, wasn't happening because he was running a bit of a temperature –not fun.
Fun or not, Amazonia formed a large part of our activity until I found out that there was indeed a waterpark in Jakarta, SnowBay, only a half hour away, a best kept secret if you ask me as I hadn't heard anyone mentioning it. So scrambling to find our togs and a couple of towels, we jumped into the back of the car and shouted 'To the Waterpark- NOW'. Well not quite but if the driver had better English I would have.
Admission at the waterpark was simple, eight euro admission fee. It was twenty in Doha. Forty in Abu Dhabi and Three and half grand in Portugal when you count the flights, accommodation,etc. No temperature check, no socks, no posted rules on smoking or alcohol, this would be a breeze compared to Amazonia.
Ahh, the great outdoors in Taman Mini City, Jakarta, far enough away from the city that only about 15% of the Japanese contingency wore surgical masks and close enough that you can still see the smog hovering overhead. It was a treat to be out and about in Jakarta, in the outdoors, breathing semi-clean air and looking forward to a day of dipping, dunking and diving or my usual activity, three hours wedged into a float bubbing along in the lazy river.
Like an 80's cover girl (who gained a little in the 90's and noughties) I ripped off my clothes to reveal my new shimmering bikini underneath only to realise that I was the only one in the whole waterpark who was showing midriff and rather a lot of, for that matter. I was also the only one showing upper leg and shoulders.
I'm not talking swimsuits here, I'm talking wetsuits. Women wearing ankle length leggings and smocks in the wave pool. Headgear and wrist length swim gear on the brain freeze rides and khafkans and scarves in the lazy river. Believe me, no-one was going to get kicked out here for being too hot. I had forgotten – Indonesia is a Muslim country!, and that for every 'girl of the world' out at night trying a snare an expat husband and for every joint smoking, free thinking young Indonesia artist there are thousands of Muslims adhering to the Koran.
Fully dressed, saturated and being carried along in the halal lazy river I can confirm that wearing wet jeans for a day in a waterpark is less fun than having your temperature taken in Amazonia

The Bestlite design company has a long history of prestige thanks to the partnership of industrial designer Robert Dudley Best and his family's manufacturing firm—Best & Lloyd, founded in 1840. Best began his studies of industrial design in Paris and Düsseldorf, where he became close friends with Walter Gropius, the founder of the Bauhaus movement. It was during this time that he drafted the first model of this Bauhaus-inspired lamp. After a mention in Architects' Journal, the collection's popularity grew and it was considered the first Bauhaus product produced in the UK. Once Winston Churchill placed a Bestlite lamp on his desk in Whitehall, the company gained everlasting fame. Bestlite pieces are held in permanent collections at both the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London. Loved by architects, designers, and design aficionados throughout its 80-year history, today, Bestlite enjoys global iconic status.

Sound Off 408 - BOOKING A SURVIVOR SERIES TOURNAMENT
This week, we're celebrating EIGHT YEARS of the Sound Off! Seth Rollins has been stripped of the WWE title due to a knee injury and Solomonster is booking his own tournament at Survivor Series to crown a new champion. He maps out a plan from start to finish, including a name from NXT that should be called up and why WWE must resist the urge to call back big names early like John Cena and Brock Lesnar. Plus, "Superstar" Billy Graham back under contract with WWE, Samoa Joe's heel turn on NXT, Nikki Bella ranked #1 on PWI's Female 50 list, why Austin did not lose to Triple H at Summerslam 1999, Lloyd's of London insurance policies in wrestling, revealing the final match in our Top 8 Countdown (one you would likely never guess), and BUY OR SELL on the Attitude Era or the Ruthless Aggression Era?

The Vista Inspire Program: The Miracle Project Revisited
You may remember the Reach Magazine TV blog post regarding our visit to The Miracle Project, a theater and film arts program where children with special needs and their families can celebrate their uniqueness through creative workshops and artistic programs. In case you missed the post, check it out here.
When participating in The Miracle Project, we learned it was was held at the Vista Inspire Program (VIP) in Vista Del Mar. The Vista Inspire Program was established to serve children with Autism and other special needs and offer multiple programs including The Miracle Project theater program as well as a Bar/Bat Mitzvah educational program.
Within the VIP, a group called Inspired Teens, 13 to 19 year-olds, volunteer their time and services to raise awareness and fundraise for and with children with Autism and other special needs.
To learn more about the Vista Inspire Program, Inspired Teens and working with The Miracle Project, visit their Facebook, Twitter, or to enroll click here.

Unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure of playing Super Mario Maker yet. I completed Mad Max just to make room for Super Mario Maker, but it seems like I'll have to wait a little longer before I can get my hands on the most creative Mario game yet.
September has been a pretty good month for games so far. It's already 10 times better than the games we got in August. I think the new game I brought was Shadowrun Hong Kong. This month we've got Mad Max, Super Mario Maker, Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain, Sword Coast Legends, NBA 2K16, A new Dragon Age expansion, and Forza Motorsport 6.
I plan on owning all of them except Metal Gear Solid. Super Mario Maker looks fantastic and it'll definitely keep me on my Wii U for quite some time. The new expansion for Dragon Age will warrant another, my fifth, playthrough of Dragon Age Inquisition, and even though I hate basketball I've always loved playing the NBA 2K games.
Mario has continued to innovate for 30 years. Nintendo has found ways to keep Mario relevant and it's helped him stand the test of time which harder to do then everyone might think. Many games, Sonic, Final Fantasy, etc, are a mere shadow of their former selves because their creators refuse, or do something really stupid, with the franchise and it ends up losing sales.
Mario has always been around and I honestly can't imagine playing on a Nintendo console without a Super Mario game. Keep up the great work Nintendo. Not many developers can do with you do with their franchise game.
I can't wait to create some really crazy stages in the Super Mario Maker and share them with everyone. It's going to be fun.

Left to Right: Jumbo pencil in Maroon, soft matte lip cream in Transylvania, Liquid Suede in Stone Fox and Vamped Up
The texture is really smooth and creamy so it applied very easily. There is a bit more red in the colour than I was hoping for but I still like it. The pencil is also long wearing, I tested it when I was working in a bar. This meant it had to last for 8 hours, with eating and drinking, and it survived with only minimal wearing.
A matte, liquid lipstick in a non-drying formula. However, because of the liquid consistency if your lips are already dry this lipstick doesn't apply as easily as the pencil. It does pick up chapping, but not as badly as other liquid formulas. Tested under the same conditions as Maroon it did just as well.
If you like a a dark, vampy, purple/red then this is a great cheap option.
Stone Fox:
Once again I'm a fan of the colour and consistency, and I love it any time a brand gets daring with their lipstick colours. Howevere the last on the Liquid Suede isn't as good. It needs more retouching than the other two. It's not terrible but I wouldn't be confdent wearing it in a situation where I can't keep an eye on it.
Vamped Up:
When I first saw this I was confused about what it was meant to be. It's a very sheer black pencil, designed to transform a natural lipstick. It's basically the day to night of lipsticks. It's a good idea, but it can be a bit tricky to apply. It doesn't always give an even finish, and it doesn't always go well with the colour it's applied over. I haven't tried this yet, but I imagine it would be quite difficult to apply over a creamier base too.

I have had many first time experiences that have shaped who I am.
- The first time I realized I was going to spend the rest of my life married to my best friend and the most beautiful woman I know.
- The first time I held each of my kids.
- The first time I believed that God really did love me even with all the sin baggage I had to ask Him to forgive.
- The first time I realized my life purpose was to reach people far from God and connect them to His perfect plan for them
- The first time I realized God was indeed calling us to plant a new life-giving church.
Each of the these first time experiences have brought me and my family to where we are today.
We are going all in on following God's next call for us.
We are selling off a good deal of our personal belongings. Trading in our four wheeled drive Explorer and our van on a smaller much more gas efficient vehicle. Packing up everything left. Saying "until next time" to our family and friends. And moving ten-hours to a new state where we know four people (two of which are under the age of five by the way.)
We are stepping out in faith that God will provide our daily bread and help us make the crucial connections we will need to plant a new church.
But why? Why would we do something that to many might seem totally irresponsible?
We are doing this because God is leading us to do it.
We are doing this because:
- People far from God who have never experienced His love, mercy and grace break our hearts.
- People far from God who once knew His peace but have strayed away, break our hearts.
- Bored Christians break our hearts.
We believe God has shown us Virginia Beach as a gateway to the world. With one-in-four people being in the military and two-thirds of the US population living within a one day drive…we believe we can reach the world for Jesus through connecting the people far from God of Virginia Beach to God, connecting them with each other, and equipping them to connect others to God.
Coastal City Church will be a life-giving church focused on reaching people far from God and connecting them to His perfect plan.
So, let the journey begin.
Connect with Coastal City Church!

If a child is going to be stricken to a cast for several weeks, he might as well have something to read during the recovery period. Taking a few moments each day to write inspirational messages will not only take your child's mind off his injured arm; it can also encourage him to maintain a positive demeanor until the arm heals.
When your son breaks his arm, often times, his self-esteem also takes a beating. Poems, quotes of encouragement and Bible verses will lift his spirits and help him feel better about himself instead of focusing on his temporary physical shortcoming.
It has been said that laughter is the best form of healing. Your daughter can giggle and laugh her way through her downtime through reading the jokes you've written on her cast.
Riddles and Puzzles
During the period when your son is wearing his cast, he becomes limited in his physical mobility, which takes him out of being able to play outdoor games or sports with their friends. Not participating can lead to boredom. When you add a riddle or puzzle onto his cast, your son can be engrossed in trying to solve them instead of moping around the house.
You can also capture favorite memories on her cast. Sit with your daughter to remember favorite moments shared between you and her. As you are reminiscing, write down special words and phrases that will trigger these memories.
Love Notes
There is no such thing as saying "I love you" to your son or daughter too many times. A simple sentimental sentence captured on his cast can go a long way in expressing your unconditional love during your child's time of need.

We began by showing another graph of the cosmic ray flux at various energies.
It so happens that this graph very nearly follows an inverse cube relationship (which appears straight on log-log graphs). That is, cosmic rays with double the energy are about eight times rarer in the cosmos. The above diagram also shows the small deviations from the inverse cube relationship that occur at high densities, known as the "knee" and the "ankle".
The first major deviation from the inverse cube law, the so-called "knee", occurs around 1015 eV. Theoretically, this is near the maximum energy that a charged particle could have and still be contained in the Milky Way by the galaxy's galactic halo. The Earth receives a slightly larger flux of these energies than expected because particles slowed to this energy remain in the Milky Way while higher energy particles do not. The transition to extragalactic particle origins forms the "ankle" of the graph.
Extragalactic Cosmic RaysCosmic rays with energies more than about 1015 electron volts seldom, if ever, originate in our galaxy. Such cosmic rays could originate from particularly powerful supernovae, or, accelerated by the same mechanism of magnetic shock waves, from two colliding galaxies. However, it is likely that most cosmic rays originate in active galactic nuclei, such as quasars.
The above is an artist's rendering of a quasar. As the name suggests, quasars are very similar to microquasars, except much larger (similar features include the accretion disk and relativisitic jets, both illustrated above). The compact object involved, rather than being a neutron star or stellar black hole, is a supermassive black hole, the kind found at the center of most galaxies (including the Milky Way). Such black holes often exceed one million solar masses.
The characteristic property of active galactic nuclei is that they consume matter at an extraordinarily rapid rate. As a result, the energy and radiation released far outshine the rest of the galaxy. In fact, many quasars are hundreds or thousands of times more luminous than our entire Milky way, corresponding to a luminosity sometimes exceeding a trillion suns. However, over time, the supermassive black hole consumes all nearby matter, and the galaxy becomes dormant, becoming in many respects like our own. For this reason, quasars tend to be young galaxies, and thus the ones we see tend to be quite distant (that is, we see them as they were a long time ago). Even the nearest quasars are still billions of light-years away.
Cosmic rays from these distant quasars may have energies up to about 5x1019 eV (50 million trillion eV). However, this value is the theoretical upper-limit for the energy of cosmic rays from distant sources, also known as the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin Limit (GZK limit). Computed independently in the 1960's by Kenneth Greisen, Georgiy Zatsepin, and Vadim Kuzmin, the GZK limit comes about from the interactions between cosmic ray particles and the cosmic background radiation (see also here), the leftover radiation from shortly after the Big Bang which permeates the Universe. In theory, if cosmic rays with higher energy travel a sufficient distance, interactions with the cosmic background radiation will reduce them to the GZK limit.
However, this is not the end of the story. It has been confirmed that cosmic rays with even higher energies have hit the Earth, though such events are rare: cosmic rays with energy exceeding the GZK limit hit a given square kilometer of the atmosphere only about once per decade. The most commonly accepted explanation for these particles is that they have not yet traveled far enough for the cosmic background radiation to slow them down, and therefore come from sources within about 200 million light-years.
Recently, scientists have proposed that quasar remnants (galactic nuclei that were formerly active) could eject such particles, though being relatively quiet in electromagnetic emissions. Unlike quasars, so-called "retired quasars" are very common in our region of the cosmos, some within 100 million light-years. Very massive, rotating supermassive black holes are the most probable candidates for the origin of these cosmic rays.
The elliptical galaxy M60 (above) is one plausible source for cosmic rays with energies exceeding the GZK limit. The galaxy is only about 55 million light-years away, and harbors a supermassive black hole of 4.5 billion solar masses, among the largest known.
Likely the current record-holder for the most energetic cosmic ray ever observed was aptly named "Oh-My-God" particle. This particle (most likely a proton) was observed in Utah on October 15, 1991. It had an energy of approixmately 3x1020 eV, roughly six times the GZK limit. Since this energy is about 50 J, it is comparable to the kinetic energy of a pitched baseball, all in a single particle! Upon Earth impact, this particle was traveling at roughly 99.99999999999999999999951% of the speed of light. However, the Oh-My-God particle, and other similar cosmic rays, are no threat to Earth or its indigineous life, due to their infrequency and their interactions with the atmosphere before reaching Earth's surface.
Nevertheless, studying the composition and energy of cosmic rays is very important to astrophysics. By observing cosmic rays in addition to collecting images using electromagneitc radiation, we obtain a more complete picture of our Universe.

Terrific, important stuff that would have been pointed out long ago by our corporate media if they had been doing their jobs – here is Part One…
…and here is Part Two.
I'm with Rachel Maddow on this – I don't get the "conventional wisdom" that Dems are supposed to pretty much wait around to get hit instead of attack any more than I get the notion that our media is supposed to feature opinion commentary from conservatives spreading garbage that is fairly easy to disprove while Dems more or less have to couch their language carefully so wingnuts don't take offense (and yes, first and foremost, I'm talking about the Bucks County Courier Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer).
Some of these are a few days old, but this is my first chance to say anything in response…
Mr. Obama aims to use President George W. Bush's record in the same way Mr. Reagan used Mr. Carter's. It was Mr. Bush and his Republican allies in Congress, he tells campaign audiences, who drove the economy "into a ditch."
The velocity of contemporary media, not to mention its ferocity, may render that argument more difficult to make. In the ever-advancing news cycle, on cable television and the Internet, news tends to get old faster.
Soo…Harwood is arguing that the Internet will make people forget who created the mess that Obama inherited?
Not according to this.
The arrival of conservative insurgents will fundamentally transform the Senate in other ways. Some of the worst bills in the Senate get approved by unanimous consent, which means all it takes is one senator to object. Today, for example, Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma wages a lonely campaign for fiscal discipline by objecting to authorization bills where spending increases are not offset by spending cuts elsewhere. But it gets tiring being the skunk at the garden party every week. Soon there will be a raft of newly elected senators willing to join him in saying "no" to bad legislation.
This tells us that Coburn is holding up a food safety bill costing $1.4 billion because he claims that the bill isn't paid for. Of course, no immediate calculation is available telling us how much it would cost to hospitalize victims of something similar to the recent egg contamination outbreak were that to occur again – my guess is that it would cost more than $1.4 billion (And as far as I'm concerned, Coburn's supposed fiscal prudence is more Beltway media mythology – how about cutting $95 million in useless "abstinence only" funding, as noted here?).
What I object to most in Thiessen's column, though, is the notion that, in the god awful event that people such as Ken Buck, Sharron Angle, etc. were actually elected to the Senate, they would restore some kind of fiscal rectitude.
In response, I think we should look at a hero of the teabaggers from a few months ago, and that would be Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts. As noted here (hat tip to lynnrockets.wordpress.com)…
WASHINGTON — Senator Scott Brown says he will fight to fund a multibillion-dollar weapons program that could generate jobs in Massachusetts but that the Pentagon insists it does not need, sparking criticism that Brown is breaking his campaign vow to rein in wasteful spending.
The Bay State Republican's support for General Electric's bid to build a backup engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter puts the new senator in the middle of a confrontation over congressional earmarks with the Obama administration, which has threatened a presidential veto if Congress inserts funding for the engine for the fifth year in a row.
"This is yet another example of how 'fiscally responsible' lawmakers have a giant blind spot when it comes to defense spending in their districts,'' said Laura Peterson, a senior national security analyst at Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan budget watchdog group that monitors earmarks. "His support was clearly driven by parochial concerns rather than financial ones.''
"If Scott Brown helps out GE he will be doing exactly the opposite of what he said he would do when he ran,'' said Loren Thompson, a defense budget specialist at the Lexington Institute in Arlington, Va., which is supported by multiple defense firms, including Pratt & Whitney.
And in another related "pot, meet kettle" development, I give you this.
The first objective of the Pledge to America is to create jobs, end economic uncertainty, and make America more competitive. This means standing against job-killing tax hikes that are due to take effect on January 1, 2011. Our plan calls for growing new and existing small businesses through a tax deduction equal to 20 percent of their business income. We also need to repeal the burdensome new tax-reporting requirement created by the health care reform bill.
As noted here…
Republicans forecast disaster when the Democratic Congress and President Bill Clinton raised taxes in 1993, and forecast rising prosperity when taxes were cut in 2001. Both forecasts were wrong.
From the end of 1993 through the end of 2000, the American economy grew at a compound annual rate of 3.9 percent. Since then, the average rate has been 1.6 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose at a compound rate of 13.1 percent a year during the first period, assuming reinvestment of dividends. Since then investors have not even broken even. Of course, there is no way to know what would have happened had tax laws not changed in those years.
Pancake Joe also tells us…
The Pledge calls for an immediate stop to stimulus spending. Over $200 billion remains unspent and we must act quickly to prevent more waste. This also means permanently cancelling the TARP bailout program and returning the money to the Treasury.
As the New York Times noted recently here in a fine editorial about the "pledge," the recent Dodd-Frank amendment in financial reform legislation prohibited more TARP funding.
The editorial also tells us the following…
While it promises to create jobs, control deficit spending and restore Americans' trust in government, (the "pledge") is devoid of tough policy choices. This new "governing agenda" does not say how the Republicans would replace revenue that would be lost from permanently extending all of the Bush tax cuts, or how they would manage Medicare and Social Security, or even which discretionary programs would go when they slash $100 billion in spending. Their record at all of these things is dismal.
The best way to understand the pledge is as a bid to co-opt the Tea Party by a Republican leadership that wants to sound insurrectionist but is the same old Washington elite. These are the folks who slashed taxes on the rich, turned a surplus into a crushing deficit, and helped unleash the financial crisis that has thrown millions of Americans out of their jobs and their homes.
Not only are the players the same, the policies are the same. Just more tax cuts for the rich and more deficit spending. We find it hard to believe that even the most disaffected voters will be taken in. But again, these are strange and worrying times.
Returning to Pitts…
One way to get back to balanced budgets is to repeal the healthcare law. Contrary to White House claims, the Congressional Budget Office and Medicare's own actuaries have shown that Obamacare will not pay for itself. This new law will be an extraordinary weight on government, businesses, and, most importantly, doctors and patients. We are committed to repealing the law and replacing it with free-market solutions.
No word on whether or not Pitts wants to "repeal" the defense budget, for example, and replace it with "free market solutions" (many expenditures in the budget will not pay for themselves and are "an extraordinary weight"…of course, Pitts con-vee-niently singles out one of his favorite targets).
Meanwhile, in the matter of the financing of health care reform, the following should be noted (here)…
(The Congressional Budget Office) has finished its work and will release the official preliminary score…But here are the basic numbers: The bill will cost $940 billion over the first 10 years and reduce the deficit by $130 billion during that period. In the second 10 years — so, 2020 to 2029 — it will reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion. The legislation will cover 32 million Americans, or 95 percent of the legal population.
And if Pitts had read the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) report that was released in April of this year, he would know that increases in national health expenditures are largest in 2016 and "gradually decline thereafter" (here).
Update 10/1/10: As noted here, HCR is "paid for" anyway, so Pitts' entire talking point looks particularly ridiculous.
When I think of the GOP's "pledge," I think of a household product of the same name that applies a shine to furniture, but does nothing to structurally reinforce the product to which it is applied. And in terms of making something look attractive without implementing economically sound fundamental fixes, I think of the GOP's "pledge" in about the same way.
Once more, to help Lois Herr, Joe Pitts' Dem opponent for his PA-16 U.S. House seat, click here.
Or that of any human life form, I'm starting to think…by the way, all of the people featured here are running for the U.S. Senate except Carl Paladino, interviewed at the end by CNN's Rick Sanchez…Paladino will run against Andrew Cuomo in the New York gubernatorial contest (heh).
First Rand "Aqua Buddha" Paul wins the Kentucky Repug nomination for the U.S. Senate, then Sharron Angle does the same thing in Nevada, then Ken Buck does the same thing in Colorado.
I'll let the "chattering class" do the rest here.

Fujifilm's latest X-A5 camera has been billed as their smallest and lightest camera yet, with a new 24.2MP APS-C sensor and a new XC15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ kit lens to boot. Given that we were traveling up to Yokohama Japan to cover CP+2018, we took the opportunity to test out the new combination.
The new Fujinon XC15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ lens has an equivalent focal range of 23-69mm in 35mm terms; fairly close to the popular 24-70mm range that has become a standard for many photographers today. However, you'll get it in a much smaller package as the Fujinon lens retracts into itself. As you can see, the camera and lens combination easily fits into a small section (about 7 x 9cm) of a typical sling bag.
The lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 5cm, so you can get by without a dedicated macro lens for most situations. Flowers and food photography are simple to do as the entire set-up (inclusive of X-A5) weighs just 496g, making it easier to keep the camera stable.
The inclusion of two zoom rings on the lens is another nice touch, as you can use the faster ring to better react to shooting situations while capturing stills, then switch to the larger and slower zoom ring for smoother zoom movements when capturing video. What's also nice is that the lens automatically zooms back out to its last used focal length so you can turn off the camera in between shots and still easily get right back to your last framing when you power on.
That said, we do have to note that the mechanism is a little loud in use. Noise from the lens zooming in and out was picked up by the camera when we were filming in quiet areas, so you'll want to get an external microphone for better sound.
Overall, focusing is fairly speedy, and the lens is capable of pretty good results if you get some good light - as you'll see in the images that follow on the next page. It seemed like our unit was a little prone to glare though, as a number of shots taken with the light source in the frame seemed a little soft.
Given that it weighs just 135g, it's probably inevitable that the lens doesn't feel as solidly built as the typical XF lens. Still, given that the lens only retails for US$299.95 on Amazon, we do think that it performs well enough for the price point.
As for the new X-A5, this again follows the familiar form factor from the X-A3, with the most obvious exception the removal of the focus mode selection lever. This is now found as a touch-enabled option on the main screen, along with the option to select film simulations. With the film simulation menu, you can tap and drag to choose your intended film simulation, so it's quick and easy to use. But this capability isn't extended to the rest of the menus in the camera, so it strikes us a lost opportunity to update the camera's user-friendliness.
Otherwise, all the buttons and controls are the same as the predecessor, and most of them are again customizable via the menus. The only notable addition would be the inclusion of a microphone jack for better audio monitoring – a nod to how more users are taking video now perhaps.
That does seem to be something Fujifilm is focusing on more though, so the X-A5 gains the capability to capture 4K video (3840 x 2160 pixels resolution @ 15p), if only for up to five minutes at a time. It also does up to 4x High-Speed Movie capture, allowing you to produce slow-motion videos at 1280 x 720 pixels resolution, and up to 14-minute long Full HD clips (1920x1080 59.94p/50p/24p/23.98p).
Five minutes may seem like a really short duration for video capture, but we suspect that the feature was added more for the 4K still shot capabilities. Like the Lumix DMC-FZ300, the X-A5 gains the ability to pull stills from a short 4K video clip at 15fps, giving you a better chance to nail the perfect instant. There's also a Multi Focus mode where the camera seems to scan the frame with all available focus points before taking the capture. You can later choose which focus point to activate during playback, thus letting you generate several versions to use for focus stacking purposes.
There's also the option to capture time-lapse videos via the interval capture option in the menus. As you can see from the screenshot below, in interval timer mode the camera will let you set the interval at which to take shots and the number of shots you want to take in total. It will also allow you to set a delay so the camera only starts recording at the set time.
That's a functional way to get a time-lapse video but requires you to do quite a bit of math to work out exactly how many frames you need to get the video you want. We can't help but wonder – wouldn't it be easier to just specify a start and stop time, the frame rate of the time-lapse video you're looking to create, and have the camera do the necessary math for you?
The other issue with the application of time-lapse with the X-A5 is that the camera doesn't sense when the battery is running out. With some cameras we've tried, the camera will automatically cut short recording to create a video clip before shutting down when it senses it doesn't have enough battery life to complete the set program.
Unfortunately, that isn't the case here, as we tried doing an overnight time-lapse to catch the sunrise from our hotel room and woke up to get nothing but still frames because the camera ran out of juice before it could complete. Things that can possibly be fixed in a future firmware update perhaps?
That aside, the other more notable change is the inclusion of a new 24.2MP APS-C sensor with phase detect capabilities and a newly developed imaging processing engine. Not much is revealed about both components, but we can attest that they contribute to speedier performance by the camera. There's less lag overall compared to the X-A3, and AF performance is noticeably improved both with stills and for video.
As the image below suggests, Bluetooth low-energy has also been incorporated to make it easier to immediately share images taken by the camera to your favorite social networks via your smartphone. This is actually one of the first screens that pop up when you start the camera for the very first time (after the usual time and date settings), prompting you to pair it with your smartphone so that every subsequent picture taken will be automatically sent over. Just add your preferred final touches to the image and share to your social network of choice. Easy!
Because it now takes the NP-W126S battery, the camera now takes 450 photos on a single charge. We didn't have spare batteries with us on this trip, but because the camera charges through USB, we were able to charge it via our laptop every night without having to carry around a separate charger.
All in, we'd say that when paired with the kit XC15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ lens, the X-A5 definitely gives you a very compact package that will cover most of your travel needs. From selfies to food shots to scenery pictures, this kit will handle it all. The larger NP-W126S battery also means that you'll probably only need to bring another spare battery with you so that certainly helps to keep things light.

The X-A5 is retailing at all authorized Fujifilm distributors now for S$999 as a kit with the XC-15-45mm.
