NOTAM: Endeavor launch has been postponed
Gaseous Hydrogen Leak Postpones Endeavour Launch
Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:46:02 PM MDT
A gaseous hydrogen leak on a vent line for space shuttle Endeavour is postponing this morning's launch. The official scrub time was 12:26 a.m. EDT. Launch teams began draining Endeavour's external fuel tank of its liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen at 12:06 a.m.
Fueling was halted after the leak was detected near the Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate, or GUCP, which attached to the external tank at its intertank area. The line leads from the GUCP back to the launch pad and to the "flare stack" where vented gaseous hydrogen is burned off.
The leak is similar to what happened during the first launch attempt of space shuttle Discovery's STS-119 mission in March.
After the leak is assessed, shuttle managers plan to meet Saturday morning to discuss what steps to take next, including targeting a new launch date for Endeavour's STS-127 mission to the International Space Station.

I think the upgrade to the Spy is awesome, although I was half expecting to see the ratings color coordinated and negative links and comments to be shaded in pink while the positives were in green. I think it's a much improved feature though. The best blog just keeps getting better.

I was kind of hoping for a color change though, for the Spy, so the background would look different than a normal window. At first I thought dark grey, but on reconsideration perhaps a nice pastel lavender/plum would work (contrasts well with both the light green and light grey bubbles...)

NOTAM: Endeavor launch has been postponed
These vehicles shouldn't even be flying, we've already lost 40% of the fleet.
And you can pretty much forget about the follow on programs.
NASA worried about program future
For the first time since man set foot on the moon four decades ago, a president has ordered a wholesale review of the space program’s future and whether the U.S. can afford to — or even wants to — return to the moon or send humans hurtling toward Mars.
With new leadership poised to take command of NASA, the next few months could be pivotal to the jobs of thousands of space program employees and contractors who depend on NASA for their livelihoods. As the shuttle prepares for its future as a museum exhibit and cost projections for a new moon mission rise while the timetable slips, the space agency’s political future is very much in doubt.
Despite President Barack Obama’s repeated expressions of excitement about space exploration, his administration’s ongoing scrutiny of the manned program is stirring concern among NASA employees and aerospace contractors that jobs will be lost, multibillion-dollar contracts will be jeopardized and the planned return to the moon will be delayed or even scrapped.
It's a lot of wasted money.
/that could be money better spent feeding unions and community organizers and funding sex education for kindergärtners

Porn actor tests positive for HIV; others have too
Jun. 12, 2009 09:49 AM
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES -- Despite porn industry assurances that an adult film actress' recent positive HIV test is the first since a 2004 outbreak shut down production for a month, Los Angeles County health officials said Thursday at least 16 additional unpublicized cases of HIV have been confirmed in adult film performers.
The newly released data brings the number of HIV cases in porn performers in the last five years to 22, including the case that came to light this week.
The cases -- and what state and county health officials perceive as stonewalling by the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation that tests porn performers for sexually transmitted diseases -- is bringing renewed scrutiny to the estimated $12 billion dollar a year industry's long history of resisting regulation and condom use.
"AIM Healthcare has never been cooperative with us and our investigations," said Dean Fryer, spokesman of California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health. So far, the San Fernando Valley-based clinic has declined to tell county or state officials the name of the performer or her employer.
"You'd think they'd want to be a full partner in trying to prevent the spread of this disease," said Dr. Jonathan Fielding, health officer for Los Angeles County.

re: #32 Rustler
I hope you can take heart in this link, Rustler:
Earlier this month, Sea Shepherd leader Paul Watson - the environmentalist attention hog who spent most of the summer provoking Japanese whalers - issued a statement following the drowning deaths of three seal hunters north of Cape Breton. Seal hunters are "baby killers", wrote Watson, who "are seeking sympathy because some of their own died".
The anti-human tubster went on to describe the seal hunt as an "even greater tragedy" than the men's deaths. A few days later, fishermen led by Carl Beaupertuis advanced on Watson's ship while it was docked at St. Pierre, a French island off the Canadian coast, chopped through its lines with axes, and chased the Sea Sheperders away.
"We cut the ropes because the fishermen of St. Pierre don't accept what Paul Watson said," Beaupertuis told The Canadian Press. "He's not allowed to come in the harbour any more. It's finished for him."
Watson squealed about possible legal action, but French government official Andre Varcin was charmingly dismissive. "The prosecutor will deliver some reprimands and warnings, but I don't think there will be any convictions," he shrugged. Asked if Watson would be allowed to return, Varcin said: "He can return at his own risk and peril."
Hero quote, from fisherman Carl: "We don't accept those kinds of people in St. Pierre. If they want to come back, I tell you this time there's going to be some violence, 'cause we won't let him back in the harbour. No way."

I grew up watching Letterman. I always liked him until he went political. I was shocked when I heard his 'joke.' It wasn't just him telling it(I'm sure he didn't realize it was the 14 year old with Mom) but the laughter and lack of gasps and boo's from the audience that disappointed me. This is the culture we live in now, get used to it. I'm trying to. I guess I'm an old fashioned conservative geezer at 42.

It turns out that “black fiber” is something altogether different.
If you accidentally dig up a patch of in-use fiber, you get a phone call an hour or two later.
If you accidentally dig up a patch of dark fiber, you get a phone call a week or a month later.

re: #69 axegrinder
I grew up watching Letterman. I always liked him until he went political. I was shocked when I heard his 'joke.' It wasn't just him telling it(I'm sure he didn't realize it was the 14 year old with Mom) but the laughter and lack of gasps and boo's from the audience that disappointed me. This is the culture we live in now, get used to it. I'm trying to. I guess I'm an old fashioned conservative geezer at 42.
Late Night T.V. died for me when Carson retired. Letterman was a no-watch from the beginning, especially with his tantrum about not getting the gig Leno got.

I don't know how many times folks need to say the media is the enemy, but other than writing to CBS, there isn't much I can do. I don't watch TV, so he's not getting ratings from me, and his advertisers aren't wooing me with their products.

Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.
— Harry Emerson Fosdick
Or, put in more modern terms by Coyote Blog:
1. I have observed before that many Nanny-state initiatives are driven by politician’s own personal experience and weaknesses. Mike Huckabee started a kids obesity program because he had trouble with his weight, and now Barack Obama regulates tobacco because he has had trouble quitting smoking:
Obama, who has spoken of his own struggle to quit smoking, praised the bill, saying it “will make history by giving the scientists and medical experts at the FDA the power to take sensible steps.”
Couldn’t politicians just focus on their own behavior without projecting their personal weaknesses on me? Let’s just be glad that we avoided whatever regulatory regime that would have occurred had these guys had a male enhancement issue.

The transition was scheduled to happen years ago, was scheduled to happen back in February, but was delayed to let Congress throw a few more millions into subsidizing converters.
From a purely technical standpoint the transition is one of the best things to happen during these bad economic times, the bandwidth that is freed up will be better used by new technologies that might drive the next upswing.

For poor people is the theory, those who can't afford to buy a digital/HD TV. After the transition anyone with an older NTSC TV who doesn't have cable, satellite, or a converter will lose TV access.

I love in the first episode, when they go into the "One Earth" grocery store ("Save-Mart?!? We can't go there!

Privacy May Be a Victim in Cyberdefense Plan
By THOM SHANKER and DAVID E. SANGER
Published: June 12, 2009
The New York Times
WASHINGTON — A plan to create a new Pentagon cybercommand is raising significant privacy and diplomatic concerns, as the Obama administration moves ahead on efforts to protect the nation from cyberattack and to prepare for possible offensive operations against adversaries’ computer networks.
President Obama has said that the new cyberdefense strategy he unveiled last month will provide protections for personal privacy and civil liberties. But senior Pentagon and military officials say that Mr. Obama’s assurances may be challenging to guarantee in practice, particularly in trying to monitor the thousands of daily attacks on security systems in the United States that have set off a race to develop better cyberweapons.
Much of the new military command’s work is expected to be carried out by the National Security Agency, whose role in intercepting the domestic end of international calls and e-mail messages after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, under secret orders issued by the Bush administration, has already generated intense controversy.
There is simply no way, the officials say, to effectively conduct computer operations without entering networks inside the United States, where the military is prohibited from operating, or traveling electronic paths through countries that are not themselves American targets.

I'm still curious how the hell Animal planet thinks the little note about the views expressed in the following program are not the views of the program or it's sponsers get's it out of the responsibility it has for paying these people to sabotage a foreign countries ships. It's in the opening credits how there big reason is to disable the Nishimaru(the flag ship of the japanese whaling fleet which processes the Whales.) These things are acts of piracy. I used to get a laugh at em because they seemed so incompetant but the more I see the more I worry these idiots will do something serious. I just hope they are finally captured and tried as pirates.

re: #269 Rustler
Not neccecarily- but like I posted earlier, they've worn out their welcome with their shennanigans, too:
Earlier this month, Sea Shepherd leader Paul Watson - the environmentalist attention hog who spent most of the summer provoking Japanese whalers - issued a statement following the drowning deaths of three seal hunters north of Cape Breton. Seal hunters are "baby killers", wrote Watson, who "are seeking sympathy because some of their own died".
The anti-human tubster went on to describe the seal hunt as an "even greater tragedy" than the men's deaths. A few days later, fishermen led by Carl Beaupertuis advanced on Watson's ship while it was docked at St. Pierre, a French island off the Canadian coast, chopped through its lines with axes, and chased the Sea Sheperders away.
"We cut the ropes because the fishermen of St. Pierre don't accept what Paul Watson said," Beaupertuis told The Canadian Press. "He's not allowed to come in the harbour any more. It's finished for him."
Watson squealed about possible legal action, but French government official Andre Varcin was charmingly dismissive. "The prosecutor will deliver some reprimands and warnings, but I don't think there will be any convictions," he shrugged. Asked if Watson would be allowed to return, Varcin said: "He can return at his own risk and peril."
Hero quote, from fisherman Carl: "We don't accept those kinds of people in St. Pierre. If they want to come back, I tell you this time there's going to be some violence, 'cause we won't let him back in the harbour. No way."

Holocaust Museum Shooting, Other Recent Attacks Prove Domestic Extremism a Threat
A month before a suspected white supremacist walked into the Holocaust Memorial Museum in downtown Washington and opened fire, the Department of Homeland Security warned that domestic right-wing extremism was the most pressing domestic terrorist threat that the country faced.
Conservatives were outraged that the DHS analysts had singled out antiabortion and antitax radicals for scrutiny. But the report was part of a series that DHS compiles on domestic dangers from all sides of the political spectrum, an area that's taken a back seat to overseas threats.
A series of recent incidents shows the prescience of those reports and illustrates the worrying reality that terrorism often comes from inside the homeland. Worse still, the reports caution that such attacks are likely to happen again. In the past two weeks, the country has seen the bombing of a Starbucks coffee shop in New York City, the arrest of four men for allegedly plotting to blow up synagogues and shoot down planes, the shooting of two soldiers at an Army recruitment center in Arkansas, the assassination of a doctor inside a Kansas church, and the shooting at the Holocaust Museum. Although these are not all cases of right-wing extremism, each is an example of domestic terrorism. "We still face threats from al Qaeda," FBI chief Robert Mueller warned Congress in May during a briefing on threats facing the nation. "But we must also focus on less well-known terrorist groups, as well as homegrown terrorists."

According to the secret forumula:
100ml gin
60ml sweet vermouth
60ml Campari
20ml Cointreau
40ml fresh lemon juice
2 dashes angostura bitters
500ml good quality lemonade or ginger aleTake a two-pint pitcher, half fill with ice and add the garnish fruits. These should be lemon, lime, orange, apple, cucumber, strawberries and mint, but anything else goes! Add the alcoholic ingredients and stir; fill up the pitcher with ice and add the lemonade. Serve in chilled glasses and (depending on your generosity) with fruit forks.

"For a good time, call _____" is older than an 80's song.
/anyone have any Advil™?
The gay singer/songwriter Mark Weigle did a cover of that song, changing "Jenny" to "Jimmy."
Of course, it puts a different spin on it because "Jenny" wouldn't have written her own phone number on a restroom wall -- rather, she was the victim of someone else's prank -- whereas "Jimmy" himself might have put his number up because he was closeted (paging Larry Craig!), lonely, or just plain horny.
Weigle's "Rainbow Ride," which catalogues some of the worst aspects of contemporary gay male culture (and he has a very listenable voice):

Killian - I don't have a TV, and for most of the past 20 years haven't had one, or if I did (in Japan, came with the apartment) it was off nearly all the time.
You might find it strange, but I got either bored with most of it, or felt like I was being manipulated by the rest. (Both the advertising schemes as well as the whole gov't dance with HDTV.)
I do watch some video, a few movies, some from online sources (like Hulu.) But they are the programs that I want to watch, that are interesting or enlightening to me, at a time when I choose.

Admiral Abramovich launches his £300million (US$494million) mega-yachtski: The world's biggest (and it even has its own submarine)
By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 10:33 PM on 12th June 2009
It is the biggest private yacht in existence and comes with a missile-detection system, two helipads, a luxury spa, swimming pool and a miniature submarine.
But when you're Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, only the most ostentatious displays of wealth will do.
His latest baby is the Eclipse, a 557-footer reported to have cost a staggering £300million.
As it glided out of the Blohm & Voss shipyard, in Hamburg, Germany, it was so breathtaking that many stopped to watch, barely able to believe their eyes.
To keep the oligarch safe, the Eclipse has a military-grade missile defence system, armour-plating around Abramovich's master suite and bullet-proof windows.
There is also a private submarine, which doubles as an escape pod.

Obama’s issues crumbling
By Dick Morris
Posted: 06/09/09 04:51 PM [ET]
At last, there is convincing evidence that Obama’s poll numbers may be descending to earth. While his approval remains high — and his personal favorability is even higher — the underlying numbers suggest that a decline may be in the offing. Even as he stands on his pedestal, the numbers under his feet are crumbling.
According to a Rasmussen poll, more voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats to handle the economy, by a margin of 45-39. Scott Rasmussen notes that “this is the first time in over two years of polling that the GOP has held the advantage on this issue.” Last month, he had the Democrats holding a one-point lead, but they lost it in June’s polling.
And the Democratic leads over Republicans on their core issues are also dropping. Particularly interesting is the Democratic decline over healthcare, from an 18-point lead in May to only 10 points now.
A Gallup poll also confirms that the president’s personal ratings are high, but the underlying data less so. While 67 percent of voters give Obama personal favorable ratings and 61 percent approve of his job performance (Rasmussen has his job approval lower, at 55 percent), they give him much lower ratings on specific issues.
Gallup shows Obama getting only 55 percent approval on his handling of the economy (down from 59 percent in February) and finds that only 45 percent approve of his handling of federal spending while 46 percent approve of his treatment of the budget deficit.
As it becomes clearer that the deficit caused by spending has landed us in a new economic crisis, entirely of Obama’s own making, his popularity and job performance are likely to drop as well.
The old recession — that the public says was caused by Bush — shows signs of winding down. But the new recession and/or inflation — triggered by Obama’s massive deficits — is just now coming upon us.

Not true most newer TV's have a digital tuner already only older model analog tv's will need the converter boxes.
If you have a digital TV set, you will not need any additional equipment (with the exception of an antenna) to receive over-the-air digital broadcast programming. However if you have an analog TV set, a digital converter box must be connected between the antenna and the analog TV to receive and display over-the-air digital programming.

A tip for business IT types: If you have online ordering or credit application software, please make sure that it will recognize numbered streets as actual streets. I recently had a charge account application rejected because the moronic software would not recognize the name of my numbered street as part of a real address. I tried St, ST, str, and even STREET after the number, with and without a period (.) but it kept insisting that this was not a real street name. I also tried using just the street number without the appended "street" abbreviation but that wouldn't work either. It turned out, believe it or not, that the software would recognize "21th st" ("twenty-firth" street, I suppose) but not "21st st."
Here in Lubbock, an actual majority of residences are on numbered rather than named streets so you would think that someone would have figured this out before now.

Back in my misspent youth, there were two stations in LA that played all-night movies: Channel 5 (KTLA) and channel 11 (KTTV).
The two movies I remember the best were "Retik the Moon Menace" and "Pop Gear."
The former was cobbled together from a Commando Cody serial called "Radar Men From The Moon." The latter was a Brit semi-documentary on the British Invasion of 1964. I've been looking for either or both on CD, but have yet to luck out.
Incidentally, Clayton Moore (aka the Lone Ranger) was a bad guy working for Retik, and the special effects, such as they were, were beyond lame.

It turned out, believe it or not, that the software would recognize "21th st" ("twenty-firth" street, I suppose) but not "21st st."
Here in Lubbock, an actual majority of residences are on numbered rather than named streets so you would think that someone would have figured this out before now.
Did you try spelling the street name out?
"Twenty-First St." should work, I would think. If it doesn't, you don't want that card.
There's a reason they don't put legs on computers.

Good morning.
I heard the Messiah yesterday taking credit for "hope and change" in Iran because of his apology speech in the mideast a few weeks ago.
So how did that work out, oh Annointed One?
And some of the folks who were anticipating dinnerjacket being voted out by the youth vote were, to say the least, extremely naive.
Now, how is the Messiah going to blame Bush for this, I wonder?

Congrats to the Penguins for winning the Stanley Cup.
I also hope that the league looks at how many opposition players the Redwings injured with vicious hits on the boards, away from the puck, and deals with them appropriately. They did it to the Blackhawks, and to the Penguins that I saw. It was a throwback to the goon hockey play of the 1970's and it was really disgusting.
I'm all for good clean checking in hockey. But this was getting to the point with the Redwings of goon hockey with the intent to injure. If the league does not stop it, I'm afraid somebody is going to retaliate next year and a Redwing, who probably had nothing to do with the goon play this year, will get seriously hurt.

re: #535 Sharmuta
I don't think it was a real election- it was a stage show like what saddam used to do, but the result was fixed, and the Iranian people will feel betrayed. They already do since they're taking to the streets.
now is exactly the time our special forces need to funnel whatever assistance they can to the protesters in iran. i have always felt that one of the benefits of our presence "next door" would be to help any homegrown iranian opposition at a time of possible revolution. I just hope that our dear leader feels "hope and change" in iran is worth encouraging in real ways. I know Dubya would be on board with this!

I knew some Iranians a long time ago when I was in college. It was at the time the Shah was kicked out. They were nice women (they taught me how to henna my hair!) and I often wonder what ever happened to them. I don't know if they went back to Iran, though I hope they didn't. If they managed to stay here, they are much better off.

Mole Poblano De Guajolote
Serves 6-8
6-8 lbs turkey, cut into serving sized pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
salt
6 tablespoons lard or corn oil
fresh cilantro and 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds to garnish
Sauce
6 dried ancho chilies
4 dried pastille chilies
4 dried mulatto chilies
1 drained canned chipotle chili, seeded and chopped (optional)
2 onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 lb tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 stale tortilla, shredded
.33 cup raisins
1 cup almonds, ground
3 tablespoons sesame seeds, ground
.5 tsp coriander seeds, ground
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
.5 teaspoon anise
.25 ground black peppercorns
4 tablespoons lard or corn oil
1.5 oz unsweetened chocolate, broken into cooking squares
1 teaspoon sugar
salt and fresh ground pepper
cooking tip: roasting the dried chilies lightly, taking care not to burn them, brings out the flavour and is worth the extra effort
Step 1: place the turkey peices into a saucepan or flameproof casserole large enough to hold them in one layer comfortably. Add the onion and garlic, and add enough cold water to cover. Season with salt, cover and cook for about an hour or until turkey is tender.
Step 2: meanwhile, put the ancho, pastille and mulatto chilies ina dry frying pan over a low heat and roast them for a few minutes, shaking the pan frequently. Remove the stems and shake out the seeds. Tear the pods into small bits and put these in a bowl. Ad sufficient water to cover and soak, turning from time to time, for 30 minutes or until soft.
Step 3: lift out the turkey pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the stock in a measuring jug. Heat the lard in a large heavy frying pan and sauté the turkey until lightly brown all over. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Reserve any oil left in the frying pan.
Step 4: transfer the chilies, along with the water in which they have been soaked, intoa food processor, at the chipotle chilie with the onions, garlic, tomatoes, tortilla, raisins, ground almonds and spices. Process until puree. If necessary do this in batches.
Step 5: Add the lard to the fat remaining in the frying pan used for sautéing the turkey. Heat the mix, then add the chili and spice paste. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes.
Step 6: transfer the mixture to the pan or casserole in which the turkey was originally cooked. Stir in two cups of the turkey stock (make up the difference with water of necessary). Add the chocolate and season with salt and pepper. Cook over a low heat until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the sugar. Ad the turkey and more stock if needed. Cover the pan and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and sprinkled with the sesame seeds.

Mousavi brags about blowing up the Khobar Towers and killing thousands of Iraqi prisoners during the Iraq Iran war. However he holds out hope for better relations with the west and less abuse from the religious police. He would certainly continue the nuke program and I think most Iranians support that. Most reform efforts would fail because the Mullahs control the courts but it would have been a sop for leaders like Obama. I think the Ayatollah wanted Mousavi to win but Ahmadinejad's control of the Interior Ministry gave him the means to steal this election.

Riot police clash with Ahmadinejad opponents after vote
Angry supporters of Iran's defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi pelted baton-wielding police and set rubbish bins on fire on Saturday in protest at the vote results.A furious mob shouting "Down with the dictator!" threw stones at the police who hit back with sticks to try to disperse demonstrators gathered around central Tehran's Vanak Square, an AFP correspondent said.
Protestors, including women, were also hit with sticks in Tehran's Valiasr Street as riot police on motorbikes moved in to break up a gathering outside Mousavi's office, the correspondent said.
"They have ruined the country and they want to ruin it more over the next four years,"
While I don't believe Obama would dare congratulate Ahmadi 'The Still Living Terrorist' Nejad, the fact-of-the-matter and more frightening aspect, I honestly don't know that Obama won't legitimize Iran's electoral farce by congratulating Ahmad on his success.

Recall that the current regime in Iran *is* Hope and Change--the "student's revolution" of 1979. And so what if they were cruelly manipulated by bearded men with anything but progressive intentions? It was garden variety anti-American sentiment combined with a passive US administration whihc saw no need to "interfere". And once you get the students in on anything, the left won't condemn it, no matter how many people need to die.
So the American left finds itself in a pickle--they know that behind the religious cabal, behind the hawkish president, behind the nuclear arms program and the genocidal intent, there is an object lesson in the perils of what so many on the left want now--garden variety anti-American (or anti-globalization, or anti-Bush) sentiment among disaffected youth around the world to go unopposed, indeed supported by a passive or approving US administration.

North Korea has declared it will weaponise all its plutonium stocks and threatened military action against the United States and its allies after the UN security council imposed new sanctions to punish Pyongyang for last month's underground nuclear test.A spokesman for the country's foreign ministry today acknowledged for the first time that North Korea is developing a uranium enrichment programme and said it would be "impossible" to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
In a defiant statement, the spokesman said that "the whole amount of the newly extracted plutonium [in the country] will be weaponised" and that "more than one-third of the spent fuel rods has been reprocessed to date".

Yup. If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that "student uprisings" and "moderate clerics" were inevitably going to cause a shift in the Iranian body politic, I'd be buried in nickels.
If the mullahs are ever going to be removed from power (highly doubtful in our lifetimes) it's going to take a real civil war.

RE: IRAN
Look, I've been being told for teh past 3 decades or so that the "youth in Iran really really likes the west. That the academics really really like our culture, hate the mullahs and are working for their overthrow by fostering unrest with the young"
3 decades,,,, 3! And NOTHING has changed there. Mush like China any "rebellion" will be quickly and quietly squashed by the military who are behlden to the mullahs. And like China the only way changes will be made is if the mullahs decided to open up the country for international and/ or American companies to set up shops there for cheap labor, and seeing China, India et al already have that market cornered, IT AIN'T HAPPNIN!
Nothing has changed correct nothing will change.....
1) The "fearful, fatalistic, apathy" of the Inshallah culture of Islam is deeply rooted. It presents a large block to taking action. To overcome that they need the following.
2) The youths need to see a way of achieving success, not ending up against a wall or at the end of the rope. Such success can only come with strong support for internal regime change from the west.
3) The west should be clear and unequivocal in it's support for regime change both publicly and covertly. The Reagan model used in Poland in the '80s is a perfect example.

Hi aboo! I can't remember it either - imagine that - I'm already an old fart - what's your excuse? LOL!
As for the Carter/Obama comparison, other than they are both DEMS and are taking us down the road to rack and ruin, there is no comparison. The minute Jimmy Carter announced publicly that the "military option" was off the table as a means of obtaining the return of our 54 citizens held hostage by the "students" (of whom Amadinnerjacket was one) he killed his chances of being re-elected. Obama, OTOH, is making and proposing to make truly structural changes in the way America is governed and the way American's feel about our nation. We are becoming less and less a nation where hard work, "sweat equity" and some luck can enable you to make it, and more and more a "Mr. Government can I PLEASE have......." President Obama is all the more dangerous because he has youth and the MSM on his side.
Remember "Nightline" started the week after the Iranian Hostages were taken and Ted Koppel was then a true journalist - he kept us informed without all the political snickering and/or applauding that the MSM now feeds us 24/7.

Yet not powerful nor rich enough to prevent Ahmadinejad from "getting" 2/3rds of the vote!
There have been rich strong players behind the scenes there for decades, to no avail. Still, like then, what the mullahs want the mullahs get. And much like North Korea, as long as the top (read mullahs) get their wealth (which due to oil they will) they control the Guard

Unbelievable Coincidences Surrounding Holocaust Museum Shooting
By Pat Buchanan (Published at White Civil Rights)
At first when I heard the news of the shooting at the Holocaust Museum, it seemed like an unfortunate incident that would set back the pro-White movement. Lone nut shootings never do us any good. They create a hyper-emotional reaction that crooked politicians use to pass gun bans and hate crime legislation.There is however a truly impressive number of strange circumstances and coincidences surrounding this shooting.
...
The thought of an 88 year old with a website is more than a little suspicious.
...
Add to this, a long list of big political events surrounding this shooting. Right wing political parties have just scored a series of victories in Europe. The British Nationalist Party (BNP) just won its first seats in the European parliament. Through an amazing “coincidence,” von Brunn allegedly has ties with the BNP.
....
Obama’s recent trip to visit various Muslim countries is another major coincidence. I’m sure the Israelis are more than a little ticked off with Obama for this. What better way to get his attention back on the Jews and their favorite propaganda issue, the Holocaust, than to arrange a shooting incident at the Holocaust museum. If the CIA could have mind control assassins, I strongly suspect the Mossad has figured this out too. Add to this the fact that von Brunn shot a Black guard at the Holocaust museum. Another coincidence designed to refocus Obama on the Jews. (I’d like to know if a Black guard is normally assigned to the front door of that museum or if this was some last minute change.)Conspiracies are a fact of life and things like mind control experiments are very real.
....
Mind control appears to work best on the weak-minded, and what better candidate than someone 88 years old, who may be suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease?The Jews’ Holocaust museum is all about brainwashing White children into believing Jewish lies intended to give White people a guilt complex. Attacking that museum is a mistake because it paves the way for a lot more whiny Jewish guilt-mongering, and feeds the stereotype of anti-Semites as being violent.
The Jews are the biggest murderers of the twentieth century. Jews were the founders and masters of Communism, which killed tens of millions of White Christians in Europe. Why don’t we have a museum dedicated to the well-documented and much larger mass murders of White Christians under Communism? Why do we only have a museum dedicated to alleged Jewish suffering (which an increasing number of brave historians have concluded is a load of war propaganda)?
Yikes!

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, in a letter to Obama, pointed to a law requiring that Congress be given the reasons an IG is fired. He cited a Senate report saying the requirement is designed to ensure that inspectors general are not removed for political reasons.

Yes, you're right, US Attorney is what I meant.
In this case, though, Obama is trying to replace an Inspector General, and that requires a notice to Congress.

You have a lot of folks on the right that are upset over BHO's policies, more so because he's still popular and they are looking for anything to grab on to. It's human nature, and some will cater to the frustration.
Exactly on point. But it is getting out of hand and they are creating some real damage to the conservative movement. After the election, I watched Beck and enjoyed his show. Now I am embarrassed to admit that I went to his "We Surround Them" event. My seconds thoughts began the movement he started crying during his 9/12 broadcast. It has been downhill since. His recent comment that the holocaust attack was a sign of things to come is downright irresponsible. Instead of
harping on idiot Letterman, the conservative movement would be better served by reining in Beck, Malkin, etc.

If the name were within the blockquote, or at least after the part where he typed "(Published at ...)", then your case would be unassailable. As it is, it's he said / he said, and I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. By a slim margin, but KT is the only person who knows how it got there, and he says it's a mistake.

re: #455 Fat Bastard Vegetarian
He didn't just cheat, it was a coup. Of course when the same group designs, runs, supervises the election with no external monitoring and then investigates potential complaints, it's highly likely that election turns into selection.
Conservatives in Iran lose whenever voter turnout is large, 60% is usually the tipping point. That's when cheating becomes ineffective. This time turnout went past 80%, so Ahamadinejad and Leader were toast.
There are rumors flying around that it was a fatwa from Khamenei that Ahamadinejad must win with a landslide because Mousavi will be a threat to country and Islam.
Fars News, the semi official Revolutionary Guards news service announced a rather accurate prediction of results and declared Ahmadinejad winner last night, long before Interior Ministry officials even started releasing the initial counts. They pulled the news off their website later.
Now police are beating protesters on the streets.

Official: Obama Administration Skeptical of Iran's Election Results
U.S. officials are casting doubt over the results of Iran's election, in which the government declared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the winner Saturday.U.S. analysts find it "not credible" that challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi would have lost the balloting in his hometown or that a third candidate, Mehdi Karoubi, would have received less than 1 percent of the total vote, a senior U.S. officials told FOX News.
Gee, weally? The story closes:
The dominant view among Obama administration officials, though not uncontested, is that the regime will look so bad as a result of whipping up Iranian hopes for democracy and then squelching them that the regime may feel compelled to show some conciliatory response to President Obama's gestures of engagement.

According to Salamantis, racism is the defining characteristic of the right.
Well first of all Anti-Semitism isn't racial bigotry it's relgious bigotry.
And secondly, as much as I respect Salamantis, I would take issue with his statement. Kindly remember that the Democratic Party ruled the South when it tried to leave the Union, the Democratic Party (you know, the party of FDR, LBJ et. al.) ran the South up through the late 1960's with their fucking Jim Crow Laws and Voter Literacy tests and the Dem's ran Arkansas when Ike threated to sic the 82dn Airborne on Governor Orville Faubus for defying the SCOTUS in Brown v. Board of Education. Moreover the Dems ran the (mostly) Northern Cities like Boston who tried to defy bussing as a means to achieving racial segregation.
And I sincerely doubt that there was a racist bone in either Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley, Jr. or John McCain's bodies.
OTOH, It's apparent at least to me that there is a lot of racism -black vs white on the part of some notable figures today, e.g., "Rev." Jeremiah Wright and Obama getting something over 95% of the Black American vote.
It's a problem with painting with such a broad brush, IMO.

Iron Fist rule?
In KT's post, it says "By Pat Buchanan (Published at ...)", and that is in the part which HE wrote. He obviously did not cut & paste the part which says "published at ..." from that place, unless they refer to themselves that way, in the header of an article right there. I bet they don't, but as I said, I'm not going to check from here. If you say that they do, then fine.
But that means that the "Pat Buchana" part was obviously NOT pasted in along with the article and selectively not selected for blockquote, then edited.
Rather, it looks like all of the parts not in the blockquote were penned by KT, and he probably keyed on the name Buchanan, fixed on that loathsome image, and wrote Pat Buchanan when the editing was done.
So I can't go there with you, unless you tell me that over at that site, it says "By James Buchanan (Published at ...)".

Well first of all Anti-Semitism isn't racial bigotry it's relgious bigotry.
And secondly, as much as I respect Salamantis, I would take issue with his statement. Kindly remember that the Democratic Party ruled the South when it tried to leave the Union, the Democratic Party (you know, the party of FDR, LBJ et. al.) ran the South up through the late 1960's with their fucking Jim Crow Laws and Voter Literacy tests and the Dem's ran Arkansas when Ike threated to sic the 82dn Airborne on Governor Orville Faubus for defying the SCOTUS in Brown v. Board of Education. Moreover the Dems ran the (mostly) Northern Cities like Boston who tried to defy bussing as a means to achieving racial segregation.
And I sincerely doubt that there was a racist bone in either Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley, Jr. or John McCain's bodies.
OTOH, It's apparent at least to me that there is a lot of racism -black vs white on the part of some notable figures today, e.g., "Rev." Jeremiah Wright and Obama getting something over 95% of the Black American vote.
It's a problem with painting with such a broad brush, IMO.
Well, my friend, good luck convincing Sal. Perhaps Goldwater, Buckley, and McCain were not True Rightists, or were ignorant of their own motives.
I'm not going to get into all the dinging and name-calling, but I thought that Sal had a pretty good debate partner last night. Evenly matched.

They designated the spot in front of her house a handicapped parking space so nobody can take her spot. They installed a handrail to help her get into her house, volunteers show up once a week or so to do yardwork and a city van shows up to drive her around (I assume helping with errands or doctor visits).

Good Morning all,
Have you seen this headline on Drudge?
US-cities-may-have-to-be-bulldozed-in-order-to-survive
[Link: www.telegraph.co.uk...]
Dozens of US cities may have entire neighbourhoods bulldozed as part of drastic "shrink to survive" proposals being considered by the Obama administration to tackle economic decline.
Rather than summer-ize the article (especially since it is still Spring), I shall include the most recent and, in my humble opinion, cogent post:
"Just remember that it was the UAW (auto union) that killed Flint and ran GM and Buick out of the area. Also, regarding the dilapidated city of Detroit this is also another failed Democrat/Progressive idea. To the commenter who says that progressives are full of new ideas and that conservatives have none -- all of Michigan has been and is now a failed progressive idea. Just because something is new to you doesn't mean that it is new to everyone else. New Orleans and Galveston have a brighter future then Michigan -- and they were both destroyed by hurricanes!
The rest of the USA should look at Michigan as the future for the rest of the country if the Democrats have their way -- unions, high taxes, entitlement society, out of control government, and mostly power hungry political leaders who are beholden to special interest. All and all this is not a bad idea but the federal government should have nothing to do with it. These decisions should be made at the state and local levels. (italics mine, I always wanted to do that someday -ed.) This idea doesn't make Obama smart, it just makes the leadership in Flint stupid for not doing this decades ago. What do you expect? Twenty years ago they thought they were going to save the city by creating a automotive themed amusement park called 'Auto World'."
I believe the poster, MIWingman, gets it.

The problem is that things change. People in Iran are exactly like us--the sway first one way and then the other, and can be stubborn or capricious. While it's all well and good to say that we should not overestimate the amount of Western values in Iranian society, so should we not underestimate it. Effectively, we cannot realistically estimate it, as estimates of even our own political mood vary in effectiveness.
So it's not as though the Iranian middle-class is solidly in our camp, yet they are not solidly against us either. They are people who have been through a lot of crap, and in turn, dished out a lot of crap. A lot like us indeed.
The key difference to me is that our process basically works, and their process basically does not, so that our nation is capable of a far more "enlightened" set of policies, and while far from perfect, still the best that mankind has to show. But it's not because Iranians are quite for or against us--although their government certainly fits into one of those camps.

Well I apologize if I seemed unduly pessimistic, but please remember that the Shah of Iran was - in his own way - every bit as nutty as Ahmadinnerjacket. And he was sick - dying, actually, when Ayatollah Khomeini was allowed back into the country. I think that Iran CAN shake off the shackles of the Mullah's, but it won't happen from outside Iran and it ain't gonna happen inside Iran until there is some sort of cataclysmic event in the country. Iran is a virtually Prison with all dissenters or would be dissenters from the Mullocracy in hard "lock down." Had the US under Carter been more, ah, forthright in demanding and obtaining the release of our civilians held hostage after the "students" overran our embassy in 1979, perhaps things would be different. But the younger Iranians haven't forgotten that it was in fact the Mullahs who stuck it to the Great Satan and I fear have not the ability or means to militarily throw off their shackles and no reason AT ALL to believe they'd get any help from the U.S.

OTOH, It's apparent at least to me that there is a lot of racism -black vs white on the part of some notable figures today, e.g., "Rev." Jeremiah Wright and Obama getting something over 95% of the Black American vote.
It's a problem with painting with such a broad brush, IMO.

Stuart Leviton Sat, Jun 13, 2009 8:57:45am |
Comment on why the Iranian elections might be fraudulent:
According to the binomial theorem, if a fair coin is flipped a large number of times, the number of heads will be between 40 and 60 percent (approximately).
What this means is that if the Iranian presidential elections are between two 'good' candidates, and that the elections are not rigged, then we can expect the winner to have at most 60% of the popular vote.
Three landslide examples from the American elections are Lyndon Johnson's landslide victory over Barry Goldwater. Johnson garnered 61.1% while Goldwater received only 38.5%. Or when Ronald Wilson Reagan trounced James Earl Carter in 1980, Carter got trounced having earned only 41% of the vote (Reagan got 50.7%). A third contest, between Reagan and Mondale, the numbers were 58.8% to 40.6%. Keep these numbers in mind when you hear about Ahmadinejad receiving anything greater than 60% of the vote. While it is possible that Ahmadinejad did garner 66% of the popular vote, the number is suspect.
For a final example: Most baseball teams play between .400 and .600 baseball. Those of you who are Los Angeles Dodgers fans however know that you have an outstanding team this year. And those of you who are Washington Nationals fans - who are playing at around .250 - please, take the condolences of this lifelong Chicago Cubs fan.

Back when I just started college, I was in a school that had a sizable population of Iranians. There were pro-shah and anti-shah students. I was friends with the pro-shah ones. The anti-shah students would protest the shah. At first they walked in a circle with signs with bags over their heads chanting 'the shah is a fascist butcher, down with the shah'. They said the shah had spies there who would hurt them or their families. Then they ditched the bags and started to enjoy their American-protected freedom to protest. Of course, none of us knew anything about the shah, and I still don't know for sure if he was good or bad. The American students did join in, of course, and staged a food fight one night to protest the shah. It seemed funny at the time, but then came the hostage situation and things ceased to be humorous.

Clashes erupt in Iran over disputed election
Supporters of the main election challenger to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad clashed with police and set up barricades of burning tires Saturday as authorities claimed the hard-line president was re-elected in a landslide. The rival candidate said the vote was tainted by widespread fraud and his followers responded with the most serious unrest in the capital in a decade.
Several hundred demonstrators — many wearing the trademark green colors of pro-reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi's campaign — chanted "the government lied to the people" and gathered near the Interior Ministry as the final count from Friday's presidential election was announced. It gave 62.6 percent of the vote to Ahmadinejad and 33.75 to Mousavi — a former prime minister who has become the hero of a youth-driven movement seeking greater liberties and a gentler face for Iran abroad.
Mousavi rejected the result as rigged and urged his supporters to resist a government of "lies and dictatorship."

I think what will finally bring about change in Iran is a change in the Guards support and I believe that can happen if economic forces continue to stress the populace. High oil prices has given this regime longer legs than it deserves, the youth are a force, and a cataclysmic event may be coming soon from Israel. If the election fraud has started a crack in the Mullahs power then an attack from Israel followed by a military response by Iran in Gaza and Lebanon will add further pressure. Hezbollah and Hamas aren't cheap. The populace, including the military, may initially get behind the regime when attacked by an outside force but I don't think it will be sustained, especially if the oil income is disrupted.

Well, yeah...I would expect "respectfully"! ;-)
Still trying to figure out how this would work, though. Again, using Philadelphia as an example, while there are plenty of abandoned and distressed homes, they tend to be interspersed among viable houses that people own and live in, rather than entire blocks or neighborhoods. To make this idea work they'd have to put people out of their homes. It won't be cheap.
And then the upshot will be the city gets to fire police, firemen and trash collectors?
Hmmm...I'm going to sell tickets for this act!

The Islamic Republic of Iran is an existential threat to the existence of the State of Israel.
The people of Iran are responsible for the longstanding existence of their anti-Western, anti-American, anti-Semitic, whacko right-wing religious extremist regime. For these many years since the islamic revolution, there has been no substantial opposition, and certainly no armed resistance.
Millions of pro-Western Iranians live in exile, but they are not representative of the political views of the domestic Iranian population.
The sooner we stop deluding ourselves that most Iranians in Iran are wonderful people secretly opposed to the shariah regime, the better.
Iran must be stopped.

Excuse me, but the binomial theorem has nothing to do with statistics. You're thinking of the binomial distribution. The theorem has to do with the expansion of the expression (a + b)n for values of n ranking from a natural number N up to infinity.

Once they got clear they drove slow to the hospital so as not to jar her.
I'm convinced if she'd had the same accident with the same injuries the same distance from the trauma center in Seattle she would have survived.
Cops would have clear the fucking paparazzi out of the way. The she would have advanced car during the extrication, intervention in the Medic unit and been in the ER within minutes and in surgery in less than an hour.

They have in the past. The American Institute of Archeology is a well know organization, been around a long time, so has the house organ, but they have taken to sensational headlines and some stories that stretch the credibility of their editorial direction.
It's not that any of the article are full of junk science, but the way they are marketing the magazine is more like "tabloid" style screaming half-truth headlines and other gimmicky articles.

I stopped purchasing glossy mags when People magazine published a photo of Kurt Cobain's dead body on the floor from the neck down. I found it disgusting that any organization would reward a photographer for violating such a scene. I wrote them and told them they should be ashamed of themselves- some day his daughter will see that photo. They wrote me back that it was fitting because it captured the "mood" of the scene. Bastards then had the gall to say they wouldn't publish photos of Diana dying in the back seat of the car.

(Last one first) Yes, there's been an undercurrent of opposition to the Taliban, even in the FATA, since they bailed out of Afghanistan and began disrupting the Pak local power structure. A lot of tribal leaders have been killed, which is why the Taliban now have secure areas inside Pakistan.

Not about any supposedly realexistierende "Illuminati".
And the power they yield - not wield, as one might expect - is that of coining money from the credulity of readers and viewers dumb enough to want a rerun of "The DaVinci Code".

The Iranian elections were transparently fraudulent. One of the minor candidates actually had his vote total decrease after they counted more votes, and another minor candidate had less votes than he did campaign supporters.
The numbers are phony and made from whole cloth. They do not reflect ANY of the pre-election polling or the exit polling, and the Revolutionary Guards and Basij were out in FULL FORCE just waiting to attack Mousavi supporters the night of the election.
Mousavi himself was arrested by the IRG while on his way to plead his case to the clerics. Last I heard he is under house arrest. With all the talk of reform and the people coloring themselves green the IRG got scared it would be another Orange Revolution and they'd be out on their asses.

The whole system in this state is a monster.
The law is parents have 18 months to get their shit together. This is so kids don't get yanked through the system for years. Poca's is at 4 years, and the parents have never gotten it together.
Our current foster girl, is at 10 months in the system. Mom is not doing any of the court order services, she won't even provided a diaper bag during her twice weekly visits. She decided since baby didn't like here prescription medicine she wasn't going to give it.
The case worker is still working on reunification with mom, despite no progress and only 8 months to go to close the case by law.
The boys we adopted the case took 3 years.
I'm not sure it really about the children in cases like that. It may be more about the social workers desire to show soldarity with poor people and not condemn them. It also appears that the child is not white while the foster parents are. That could also be an explanation.

Um, hello? It's an article about Dan Brown's book of that name ("Angels and Demons" is "Illuminati" in German), and the film - and the money to be made out of such things.
Not about any supposedly realexistierende "Illuminati".
And the power they yield - not wield, as one might expect - is that of coining money from the credulity of readers and viewers dumb enough to want a rerun of "The DaVinci Code".
Perhaps not a totally irrelevant sidelight to be thrown on things by a magazine devoted to rationality.
Sorry to spoil your rant, though.

re: #1079 bbcrackmonkey
The Iranian elections were transparently fraudulent. One of the minor candidates actually had his vote total decrease after they counted more votes, and another minor candidate had less votes than he did campaign supporters.
The numbers are phony and made from whole cloth. They do not reflect ANY of the pre-election polling or the exit polling, and the Revolutionary Guards and Basij were out in FULL FORCE just waiting to attack Mousavi supporters the night of the election.
Mousavi himself was arrested by the IRG while on his way to plead his case to the clerics. Last I heard he is under house arrest. With all the talk of reform and the people coloring themselves green the IRG got scared it would be another Orange Revolution and they'd be out on their asses. Well now they just may get a Revolution.
Pre-election/exit polling must be very scary for the voter. Gotta wonder who's doing the polling. The Republican Guard? Everyone must say they are voting for or voted for dinnerjacket.

No. If they make the world series, as in 1989 for example, then it's extra-exciting. Otherwise, it's lame. Mainly because it disrupts the otherwise beautiful symmetry of the game, and makes things unfair. Why should one team be forced to play the best team from the other league, but compete in their division against others who don't? Not fair.

There was more than one old park with such a hill. I just googled this a bit. One was Crosley Field, where the Reds played from 1912 until 1970. There's a nice little discussion of the "terrace," as it was called, on that Wikipedia page. Apparently, in the old parks, the hills were natural features of the terrain that were already there before the parks were built. But the current one in Houston was totally artificial, added because, well, just for lameness' sake. Also, the Houston one is a 30-degree incline, twice that of the terrace at Crosley Field.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Friday he was hopeful the robust debate taking place in Iran's presidential election would advance his administration's efforts to engage longtime U.S. rival Tehran in new ways.
"We are excited to see what appears to be a robust debate taking place in Iran," Obama told reporters when asked about the Iranian election during an event at the White House.
"Whoever ends up winning the election in Iran, the fact there has been a robust debate hopefully will advance our ability to engage them in new ways," he said.

That seems to be the general consensus, but I've only ever known one cat that actually did swim (little runt named Motormouth that my aunt had).
My female cat fell in the pool last year and sank like a stone. I jumped over the side to get her before anything happened but she wasn't really swimming. It was like she was trying to, but her legs were to scrawny to propel her to the surface. My older male cat sits on the edge sometimes and I just know he's contemplating a dip.

People of Iran who can read lgf's.
Use your crops and or how you plow the fields to make arrows pointing to the locations of the nuke stuff, no need of them being real close, just make an arrow in any field pointing to any nuke facility you know about, our National Security Agency satellites will be able to map the locations from that, the RG's can not deal with every little field in Iran, and they can not make enough fake arrows to foil the deal.
Then once we get a good real American back in as Pres. we can send the mullas info that we know where the nuke stuff is and will bomb it
unless they allow you to have fair and open elections. Then if you in fact do vote them back in via a fair and open election and still build
nukes ,,,and work with the crazy loon in N. Korea, the final deal will not be of our choosing, yours.Like that.

re: #1170 Cato the Elder
What will the consequences be? Nobody knows, of course, although the analysts at Homeland Security fretted that things may turn out even worse than in the 1990s — that thanks, in part, to the election of an African-American president, “the threat posed by lone wolves and small terrorist cells is more pronounced than in past years.”And that’s a threat to take seriously. Yes, the worst terrorist attack in our history was perpetrated by a foreign conspiracy. But the second worst, the Oklahoma City bombing, was perpetrated by an all-American lunatic. Politicians and media organizations wind up such people at their, and our, peril.
It's tough to judge but I'd say things are far worse than the Clinton area. I'm still coming to grips with how quickly the evolution into dangerous conspiracy nuts has happened. I don't see any signs that this progression is slowing. Things are getting dangerous.

Can't understand the preoccupation with DESTROYING Iran's nuke sites. Certainly a good idea, but denying ACCESS would work as well. imho.
If we were really serious, Iran would be blockaded-nothing going in or out. That, plus disabling their electrical grid and refinery capacity would likelycripple Iran fatally within months, if not sooner. Easily done, on our part.

Israel stands alone....is that really a big surprise?
Israeli officials: Iran vote shows growing threat
By KARIN LAUB – 5 hours ago
JERUSALEM (AP) — The apparent re-election of hardline Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad underscores the growing threat posed by Tehran and its nuclear ambitions, two senior Israeli politicians said Saturday, urging the world not to engage in dialogue with Iran.
However, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon and Vice Premier Silvan Shalom expressed their personal views and not those of the Israeli government, said government spokesman Mark Regev. He said it was not clear when the Israeli government would make a formal statement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has argued that Iran's nuclear ambitions, not Israel's conflict with the Palestinians, should occupy the world's attention.
Friction has been growing between Israel and the U.S. over Netanyahu's refusal to endorse the idea of Palestinian statehood and a settlement freeze, as sought by the Obama administration.
Netanyahu is to deliver a major policy speech Sunday to clarify his positions. An election victory by hardliners in Iran could strengthen his argument.

You should try this one, I hear it's rock solid.
I did try it back when I was working at CompUSA and going to trade shows. Got a free copy of ME at some shindig M$ was hosting that I installed on my computer, which promptly broke every software program on the thing, even M$ products. I also got Win2K that I never could get to install with my current hardware.
I have noticed that upgrading a Windows-based OS is usually nothing but problematical. I know several people who had ME preinstalled on new PCs and they never had a problem that was not hardware related or their own fault with installing some shi'ite software.

Well, the new updates this week from MS certainly turned off McAfee Systemguards, which monitors unauthorized changes to your system, which I suspect that MS had to turn off to install the upgrades, BUT, now I can't keep Systemguards to stay on in the "automatic" start mode. And twice it has disabled itself all together. I'm monitoring the status in "services."
And I know of someone who has had some new problems this week, AFTER the update push.
I suspect we will be hearing more about this.
Just can't wait to see how MS will kowtow to the Chinese and work overtime to make sure their OS plays nice with "Green Dam", the commie-government-mandated "parental control" program that doubles as Big Brother spyware.
Apparently "Green Dam" is also eminently hackable by non-commie-government persons, putting every computer purchased in China after July 1 at high risk for botfarming.
The response of the West's software and hardware manufacturers who want to sell in China has been, shall we say, muted. [Read: They would do the same thing here if asked.]

Snake charmers have tried in vain to lure the beasts, mostly cobras and vipers, out of Gerihun police station in the southern district of Bo. Attempts to smoke them out also failed.
Officers and residents wanting to report crimes have grown too afraid to come to the building.
"Even during work time when statements are being taken, these snakes can come out in dozens. Inhabitants have found it difficult to report cases to the police," station spokesman Brima Kota said.

I am so goddamned furious right now.
The Iranian people were robbed blind last night.
It was so blatant. Mahmoud by 2/3 majority? It's ridiculous. Preposterous. If Mahmoud had that many supporters they would be celebrating instead of rioting like they are now. The Election board approved by all four candidates to monitor the election has determined this election to be a fraud and will not accept the results.
There were massive voter irregularities and the phony statistics show Dinnerjacket winning Mousavi's own home province by a good margin. This is obviously rigged by the Revolutionary Guards and SCIRI to keep the IRG military industrial complex and the clerical fascists in power.
Whew. What was you r first clue? :)

NT was a joy to install, real driver issue. You had to exactly the right driver or it'd BSOD on you. But once it was up and running, it was solid, till you added something.
XP is pretty good, I drive my XP system at work pretty hard and don't have many issues.
I also have a Vista install, and it's been pretty good other than it's wireless sucks. Vista needs major horsepower to run decently, way above what MS calls the mins.

I don't have a lot of time to post or read here, but I'm out there talking to a lot of people, and I hear a lot of minorities talking about Obama. This week I've been hearing all sorts of anti-Obama stuff. Curiously, no one seems to like his interfering with corporate salaries! This from people earning less than $35,000 a year! Why? I was told, "He's killing the American dream." This from an Hispanic mom of four from L.A.
I'm thinking her plan all along was for these kids of hers to be getting one of those corporate salaries someday. . . .

The Iranian people were robbed when the worthless POS Rabbit Bait pulled the rug out from under the Shah and greenlighted the "Saint" (Bait's emissary who met Khomeini words) to take over.

From that moronic Palin/Letterman article on Yahoo:
[Letterman] jokes about all politicians but it's becoming clearer where his sympathies lie — something that Palin and her supporters sensed in their criticisms.

Nope, I'm employed but feeling really squished. The resume is out and I'd like to travel and sell biomedical devices.
The last two years we had salaries stopped and no promotions....feeling like I'd get stuck in my current process engineer role.

I had a 'special edition' of ME from COMPUSA that I ran on one computer for years without any problems.
