Highly qualified weightlifters and powerlifters (and rowers as well!)

Minor SPOILERS

Just came from seeing it, and I really enjoyed it. Wonderful piece of
filmmaking, from visuals, to editing, to sound, to acting and all the
other crafts. I'm always interested in history and it seemed accurate to
me in every way -- without getting in the way of telling the story.

But... ahem... what is the story? There really isn't much of a plot. I
suppose you might be able to trace three acts, but there doesn't seem to
me to be much of a conventional three-act structure or any other
structure really.

It's nominally about Cap'n Crowe's obsession, but actually, I thought
the film was little more than an extended snapshot of what life was like
in that place, at that time in those circumstances, and oddly enough I
thought it was less about Cap'n Crowe than it was about his best friend
the doctor/naturalist and the midshipman who loses his arm -- they at
least go through a catharsis that *changes* them. But Cap'n Crowe?
Doesn't seem to change at all.

Or am I missing something?

 I think the movie has a pretty clear three acts. I'm a little
ambivalent about being too precise, here, because I've only seen this
movie once, but:

Act 1: The setup. The Surprise is attacked by the French ship. Badly
damaged. We learn that the other ship is stronger/faster/better. Crowe
decides to press on.

Act 2: The pursuit. Will the Surprise find the french ship.

Act 3: The attempt to outsmart the French ship by pretending to be a
whaler.

Now, lots of the sequences in the middle of the film bear on the
objective of the second act. Going around the Cape is clearly an
obstacle to catching the French ship, for example. Keeping the crew in
order (as dramatized thruogh the subplot involving the "unlucky"
officer). The doctor's desire to go explore the islands. The
relationship of these subplots to the main plot (finding the French
ship) is subtle, but there-- I don't think it's at all unusual (except,
perhaps, for Hollywood of the past ten years) to produce films with
subplots that are only losely tied to the main plot.

 What differentiates the film is it's willingness to take it's time with
life aboard the ship.

 I agree that Crowe doesn't have much of a character arc. This is,
probably, a function of the books. In a series of 20 books, it's hard to
have a lot of major changes in the lead character. Honestly, I don't
thin the captain was presented as a flawed character in any significant
way... he wasn't trying to redeem himself, I didn't notice any inner
conflict.

 But, of course, giving him an inner conflict would have meant they had
to resolve it (you resolve inner conflicts in big Hollywood
blockbusters) but resolving it would have meant that the captain was a
substantially different character in M&C II, which probably wouldn't be
justified by the other books in the series.

Not in my opinion.  I agree with you wholeheartedly.  There was no
story, no "mission" which contained any sort of real emotional
investment, the whole "faceless enemy" thing was weak, and the core of
the movie, the friendship between Maturin and Aubrey, was denuded when
they decided to make this a slice of life picture rather than a movie
about a spy and a ship Captain, who are equals, working together to
stop the forces of evil.  Great direction, good acting, fantastic

For Jack to choose a life-saving operation for his friend on the Galapagos

IMHO, it is NOT a tough question.  I see almost no advantage in buying from

might be induced to come to your home or business and set it up the first
time.   No way ZEOS will do that.  Still, you would be better off paying
someone a few bucks to do the initial setup.  Try calling one of the big

On the contrary, unless you are capable of integrating the computer yourself
(ie: buying case, power supply, mother board, disk drives, controller, etc.
separately) a local shop will give you the best service.  Of course they
WILL go out of business if nobody shops there.  Too bad - because it's a
lot easier to bring your computer back to the store when there's a
problem.  Zeos, Dell, Gateway, et. al. want YOU to localize the problem
and return the bad part.  So when you finally get through to their
technical service (and for every success story I hear, there are plenty
of people who spend hours on the phone trying), you still have to do
the hard part yourself.

This doesn't mean that there aren't idiots running local computer

  Quite true. I buy almost all of my PC parts at a nearby computer store.
This store will either assemble the system for you or let you do it your-
self. I prefer to do my own assembly. If you're looking at a low-end sys-
tem (and 386SX/25 is low end these days), you can get a motherboard for
$135 plus whatever memory you want. With prices like that, if it breaks,
you just buy another one.

  Let me relate two stories to you:

  My first 386 was a Hauppague 386DX/16. I bought two more (20's this time)
from them. I had a very good out-of-warranty experience with them - the
system would run flawlessly for days on end, _until_ I exited back to DOS,
whereupon it would hang and not even a reset would clear it - it had to be
power cycled. I called them up and got an RMA and returned the motherboard.
Two days later I got a call asking me if I would approve $70 to repair it.
I said yes, and they FedEx'd it back to me with a new manual, setup disk,
logo, and battery pack. Very nice work. The problem was a bad PLA that no
dealer would ever have found.

  Someone else I know bought a generic 386 motherboard from a local dealer.
It failed in a different manner and he brought it in to the dealer. The deal-
er apologized and said they didn't carry that model any more and he'd have to
buy a new motherboard.

  Which of us got the better deal? Would it change your mind to know that I
paid about $1500 for my motherboard and he paid about $500? Thus, he'd spent
$1000 and I'd spent $1570.

  You need to decide how important reliable out-of-warranty service is to you,
and put a dollar figure on it, before you can decide what type of merchant
you should buy your system from.

  One last comment: I would _strongly_ advise you to buy only name-brand items
when purchasing a board that needs a driver to operate. VGA cards are an exam-
ple. I know of many folks who had to throw away perfectly good VGA cards when
Windows 3.0 came out because they couldn't get updated drivers. The same thing
is now happening with Windows 3.1. Likewise, SCSI adapters often need drivers.
This is especially true if you ever plan on changing operating systems (say,
from DOS to OS/2 or Unix).

I buy both mail order and from a small local dealer. I usually don't
need the technical help the dealer can provide, but I do like having
the dealer around when I need something ASAP. I also like the ease of
returning/exchanging unsatisfactory stuff. So, when I need something,
I spend some time reading CS to find out what is available mail order
and at what price. Then I go to my local dealer and see what he has to
offer. Sometimes he proposes alternatives I haven't considered. Maybe
half of the time he gets my business.

If I buy from my local dealer, I know there will be minimal trouble if
something doesn't work in my system or suffers infant motality. Both
of these are fairly common problems for PC stuff. Usually I figure
that this 'insurance' is worth a 10% or so premium when buying local.

The whole UPL issue is a tangle. You used to be able to tell when someone
was practicing law in a state because that's where his office was, and
local lawyers litigated in local courts. Now lawyers criss-cross the
country advising and representing clients. There are lawyers here in
Washington D.C. who have practiced with nothing but a DC Bar membership
for 40 years, have never seen the inside of a DC court, have never
represented a client that resides in DC, is incorporated in DC, or has an
office or does business in DC, and have certainly never had occasion to
advise anyone on DC law. Hell, there are probably lawyers who have
practiced in DC for 40 years with nothing but a Nebraska bar membership,
which is fine as long as the letterhead says "* not admitted to the DC
Bar," and they stay out of DC Courtrooms. I've been a member of the DC Bar
for 20 years, and I have an office in DC, but it's been a long time since
I saw a DC Courtroom because I represent municipalities in federal and
state litigation against cable and telecom companies. I give advice and
write pleadings on federal communications law, but also on the most arcane
and state-specific legal issues surrounding ownership of public easements
and rights-of-way and utility franchising. It's safe to say I know as much
about those state law issues as 98% of the members of the state bar when I
get the case -- which is nothing at all, except where to look -- and that
I know more than 99.9% of the state bar members before I open my mouth.

UPL enforcement is usually triggered by maintaining an office or appearing
in court, and you can get around them both by taking an office in a firm
with members of the local bar, and staying out of court or appearing only
infrequently in any one court pro hac vice. You don't even have to have an
office at all to practice law these days. What if you are "of counsel" to
a DC law firm, working out of your house in Maryland, representing a
Delaware corporation with its principal offices in California, in
connection federal diversity litigation in Virginia, involving a contract
governed by Illinois law. Where do you need to be a member of the bar? I'm
not sure that you need to be a member of the bar anywhere! -- unless you
want to personally appear in a speaking role before the federal court in
Virginia. And then it wouldn't matter where you were admitted because the
Virginia federal court will allow you to appear pro hac vice as long as
you are a member in good standing of any bar anywhere and you show up with
a member of the Virginia bar who will be promptly excused.

Bar membership is entry regulation, plain and simple. Bar admission
requirements don't regulate the quality of legal representation because
they test knowledge of law and procedure at such a broad and basic level
that admission to the bar doesn't require you to know enough about
anything to actually provide competent legal service in any particular
matter. Knowing the IRC definition of "income" hardly qualifies you to
provide tax advice; knowing the elements of a breach of contract claim
hardly qualifies you to litigate one; you might know the statutory grounds
for divorce verbatim, but if you don't know the child support guidelines
you can't even draft a separation agreement. The only way UPL plays into
the quality of legal service is by punishing malpractice after the fact,
and that only happens when the lawyer is uninsured.

I believe the main factor in unlawful practice of law is presenting oneself
as a lawyer when not qualified -- not whether there's payment involved. When
lawyers do pro bono work, they're still practicing law.

As for whether it's conflict of interest when a board member provides his
professional services to the board at no charge -- probably it would be
easier to make a case that it's conflict of interest if there were money
involved (office equipment purchased from a board member's business with no
competitive bids, for example). Even if no money is involved, my feeling is
that the board member may be too close to the organization and the issues to
really do the best job for them -- especially for no compensation!

of a law degree or legitimate bar admission elsewhere, etc.

It's virtually always granted.   I haven't researched it but can't imagine a
court denying such a motion unless the candidate had been disbarred elsewhere,
or had some serious ethical disability that the opposing counsel brought to the
court's attention.   This is a very quick and simple motion in most cases and
is rarely even answered by the other side.   There is a strong presumption in
favor of a party to a lawsuit (or a crim defendant, even stronger) to choose
his/her own counsel, as long as that person IS in fact a lawyer, admitting in
good standing somewhere and not on the verge of being disbarred there any
second for already-known misconduct.

This is a hot Tamale many Republicans have a hard time
swallowing. Is it eventually going to catch them on fire
and burn them up?? What's more important? Letting people
break the law or being called a racist? Schaffer is

Vincente Fox isn't our friend and is evidently only

**********************************************************************************

"The national Republican Party moved rapidly Thursday to
distance itself from Rep. Tom Tancredo on immigration
issues, fearing that controversies swirling around his
views may spoil efforts to woo Hispanic voters."

"He certainly doesn't speak for the Republican Party at
a national level (on immigration), and he doesn't speak
for the president," said Sharon Castillo, deputy
communications director for the Republican National
Committee in Washington."

"Rep. Bob Schaffer, R-Colo., a member of the reform
caucus, declined to comment directly on Tancredo's
actions Thursday, saying Tancredo's "constituents are
the ones who have the right to decide whether he's doing
the right thing."
But Schaffer said he isn't worried about a Hispanic
backlash in the voting booth.
"I haven't given any thought to that, and I frankly
don't care," Schaffer said. "If Republicans conclude
breaking the law is good for politics, then Republicans
deserve to lose."
The INS is far too lax in enforcing immigration law, and
Tancredo's caucus is the "only organization in
Washington looking at finding balanced, sensible
solutions," he said.
"The government has gone too far by suggesting that
critical laws go unenforced," Schaffer said. "The INS is
an incompetent agency that has made a mockery of
citizenship."

Jeez. Actually, I've met Schaffer a couple of times and if there is
anybody who doesn't give a damn about a Hispanic backlash, it's him.
Mainly because A) they don't vote for him anyway and B) he's leaving;
after taking a week or so to decide whether to honor his promise to
step down after three terms.

Meanwhile, Tancredo has a thing about illegal immmigration and he's
had it for years. He comes from a part of Colorado where there are a
lot of Hispanics and it really ticks him off when they make little
circles around their temples instead of voting for him. Having this
guy in charge of anything involving illegal immigrants is not a good
idea; especially since Tancredo can't tell if they're working for him
or not.

Heh.  The story you link provides an ironic miniature of the
whole problem, doesn't it: Tancredo is breathing fire on
the immigration issue -- while at the same time two illegal aliens
were allegedly involved in remodelling Tancredo's own house.

Will you be picking your own lettuce, then?

Every time that there's a hint of real legislative crackdown on
immigration, business screams until it goes away.  Like it or
not, undocumented workers are an integral part of the economy, and have
been for a long long time.

And where are the Dobson's and the Falwells on this issue, that's
what I'd like to know -- because these folks are family
values with a capital `F': they come here looking for
better jobs, they work hard, they send much of their
income back to Mexico to support their families back
there.  Remittances are in fact a leading source of
revenue in the overall Mexican economy.  Sounds like the
classic work-hard better-yourself American mythos to me.

If you were in a hideously depressed area, and there were
tons of jobs just over the horizon, and you had a family
to support -- but getting to those jobs legally would
take the next seven years (or whatever the figure is
currently), what would you do?

Actually, a number of studies have shown that many immigrants pay more into the
tax bucket relative to what they get out than do "natural' citizens. In other
cases, such as the influx of Vietnamese refugees in the 1970's, declining areas
in many cities were revitalized due to the immigrants setting up and operating
businesses, using extended family contacts to maximize use of every dollar they
could earn, and so on. A similar story with Cuban migrants, though I could cite
some areas where I'm not always too fond of them. :-) And many other immigrants
work very hard and serve vital roles while receiving very little state
assistance. Granted, as with any culture they also are burdened with less
savory types in their sub-societal groups. But the same can be said, for
instance, even of white Southerners, white Great Lakes factory workers, etc.
This is simply a problem that *all* people face. That the media sometimes likes
to blow it out of proportion in their pursuit of ratings and profits does not
make it as big of an issue as you might think.

And let's not forget that many immigrants actually do *better* academically
than do "natural citizens." So they prosper while the so-called "naturals" sit
and whine. But that's hardly the fault of the immigrants, is it?

So in the face of reality, the idea that these people "offer nothing" is very,
very questionable. They offer quite a bit, not least of which is the fact that
they, unlike many "natural citizens," still maintain an intense work ethic and
a strong sense of family. In many ways, this makes them more "American" than
those "naturals" who sit around doing little more than whimpering.

Si. Es la verdad. Mas o menos. Pero ....

Obviously there is a problem with any "illegal" group and the quality of
education they can achieve in a system which does not wish to accept them. But
it's not quite that simple, either.

The break is actually Asian vs Hispanic. "illegal" Asians exist but still often
score well. And legal Hispanics, which exist in great numbers, fare worse than
do Asians. Some hypothesize that language structure relative to necessary
mathematical skills may play a role. I don't mean bi-lingual education, I mean
the actual structure of the languages and how that may impact learning the
language of math. Part of this also may relate to problems in educational
services in Hispanic areas as well as a definite skewing of how funding for
higher education is provided. Many Hispanics get pushed out as grants,
scholarships, etc get handed out to other minority groups and the families
often are unable to carry the economic burden alone. Family size may be a
contributing factor on that. Nevertheless, Hispanics do remain intense
contributors to the American economy and society. Further, many Hispanics
actually do very well, often better than their "white" counterparts in the same
areas.

It's interesting that as I look around my own very Christian Conservative
region here I find that most white students have a really poor level of
education. Many are barely able to construct an effective sentence, are stymied
by even the simplest math, and have no working knowledge of arts and
humanities. And this is under the "best" that conservatives have to offer (and
I won't even discuss our county board which just had four members nailed on
various criminal charges). The same problems also hold sadly true of those
"graduates" of our local Christian Academies and Christian College. The latter
actually has the lowest entrance requirements of the regional "higher
education" institutions (predictable given their profit motive). And believe
me, it's not Hispanics holding things back. There are virtually none in our
local system. It's white conservatives with agendas which do not include
education as a major goal.

But beyond that, the reality is that most of the stresses folks attibute to the
influx of immigrants probably arise far more from the out-of-control boardroom
pseudo-capitalism that has run rampant. Corporations stress partial employment
to avoid paying benefits to workers (though the CEOs rake it in), keep
compensation at subsistance levels, stress incompetent patronage as a paradigm,
etc. These issues, not the influx of immigrants, are the ones affecting
American workers and lowering our standards of production. This is a problem
that will be fixed only when the "right" wakes up to the fact that mere pursuit
of profit does not even remotely equate to capitalism. True capitalism avoids
toppling only when the three legs of capitalist goals, worker rights, and
consumer needs are effectively balanced. Lately this has not been the case in
the United States. It's time to realize that many of our capitalists here
simply are not capitalists.

Sadly, it looks like the blend of pro-corporate "privatization" and
neo-conservatism which Ronnie Ray-gun brought to the fore and folks like the
dixiecrat Clinton perpetuated has been a dismal failure. It's perhaps time that
the "right" sat back and took an honest look at the mess and assumed some of
the burden of blame they have earned for themselves.

I really doubt the language explanation for this difference.
I think it's cultural.

A recent speaker on C-span's BookTV (the name escapes
me now, if you'd like I could try to dig up his name) was
talking about cultural responses and similarities between
immigrant and minority groups, using examples today and
from America's past. He lumped together:

1) African-Americans and Irish
2) Hispanics and Italians
3) Chinese and Jews

African-Americans, he argued, like the Irish in the 19th
century, suffered from a reputation for higher rates of
dysfunctional families and from drug (read: alcohol)
problems.  The two groups responded, he argued, by
getting ahead via involvement in the church (a very
important institution in both communities) and in politics.

Skipping ahead, the speaker argued that both Chinese
and Jews came from traditions that stressed educational
excellence as the way to get ahead in society, which
explains the preeminence of both groups in the sciences
and the arts.

Hispanics and Italians? Both groups, the speaker argued,
relied on hard work and family rather than education to
succeed. Both groups had a tradition of mistrust of
authority (not surprising given the situation in their place
of origin) and hence did not rely on public welfare for
support. Instead, the typical response to financial hardship
was to work harder, take a second job, and to rely on
help from family and friends. "Go to any street corner
early in the morning in LA", the speaker noted, "and
you'll see young Mexican-American men standing out
there at 6 am. Those men aren't standing there waiting
for welfare; they're standing there waiting to be picked
up for day labor--to work." Their work ethic is incredible;
the "lazy Mexican" is the cruelest and most untrue of
all stereotypes.

Sometimes, however, the author noted that this work
ethic all-too-frequently interferes with educational
attainment, as sons and daughters drop out of school
to get jobs to help their families. It happened among
Italians earlier in the century, and he argues that it
happens likewise today among Hispanics. The author
did not see this as a good thing, in the long run, and
something that must be addressed among Hispanics.
Specifically, the author saw also bilingualism as more
of a problem than a solution, something that I suspect
that you may disagree with. Be that as it may, he--along
with anyone, I'd think--would be hard pressed to fault
Hispanics as some sort of drag on the national economy.
They're clearly an asset.

For what it's worth: the author predicted that the next
immigration waves into the US as coming from China
and Africa. And these will prove to be assets too.

While I largely agree with you, language and culture go together, with both

One thing I can attest to from lots of firsthand experience is the hispanic
tendency to employ mucho "flowers" in communicating. Culturally, it sometimes
seems that nothing can be said simply. While it would be wrong (vaguely
reminiscent of determinism) to state that this is a hard-and-fast rule, it
really does make for, uhm, interesting court filings in my experience. I can
therefore see the *potential* impact that some researchers have alluded to in

However, as I said I don't wholly agree with the idea either, but it probably

Depending upon where it hurts it could be a few different things.  But
whatever, I'd consult a podiatrist about it or your favorite doc.
Something hurting like that is neither natural or expected from walking.

Could be plantar fasciitis.  That is an inflammation of the sheath around
tendons in the lower foot.  This is a tough one to 'cure' and takes
several months and special inserts for your shoes.  Usually the feet
really hurt when you get up in the morning but by the time you walk out
the door they feel fine, until you sit down and rest for a bit.

It could be a 'bone spur' that is sort of related to the PF as some think
it is caused by PF.  Others think vice versa.

It could be neuromas, but they usually get worse rather than better
walking on them.

subject: More than one disability insurance policy against the law?

text:
Hello,

I am looking into getting some additional long term disability
insurance.   Through work I have one that would pay aprox. 75% of my
current salary.  I could most likely exist on this amount of money
today, but I am concerned that if I am disabled there will be a bunch
of additional expenses I do not pay now, perhaps specially altered car
for driving, high insurance co-pays--there are a million things that I
could have to pay for if disabled.

Also there is the possibility if I am disabled I would need assisted
living.  75% of what I make now is not enough to pay for that.

Anyway, onto my question. I was doing some research online and found
someone who said it is illegal in his state (CA, I believe) to have
any combination of disability insurance policies that pay out more
than 66% of his former income.

Is this true?  Why would there be a law preventing how much disability
coverage someone can try to get?  How can I find out about any laws
like this for my own state (VT)?  Do you have any other suggestions
for how I might go about getting additional disability insurance?  Am
I being too paranoid?

Thank you for your help,
Becky

Becky,

You are right -- most of the time expenses go up while income goes down during
disability.

There are policies that pay for this, too.

I'm not familiar with CA laws, but it sounds like crap to me. The insurance
company determines what they will issue, and 66% is a commonly thrown about
number by people who just don't know much about this kind of coverage.

I doubt it.

Forget the law, concern yourself with the carriers -- they set their own issue
guidelines.

Your insurance commissioner, or a local agent (ignore those from CA since they
are as likely to know VT law as I am).

Call a LOCAL agent that specializes in Disability Income Insurance.

No, just prudent.  =)

Although I do not necessarily agree, the thought behind limiting the amount

To see if there is a similar law in your state, just ask any agent that

BTW, BBC "Hardtalk" today had a 30 minute interview with Charles
Champion (chief operating officer of A380 programme).

He sais that Airbus is very close to break even with A380 if current
customers exercise all their options. And he answered really well the
"fragmentation" thing. The 380 was to fill a gap in the product
offering, and Airbus also has midisze aircraft to fill point to point.

It will take a number of years before Airbus can catch up on the
delivery delays.  "december" was mentioned as start of commercial A380
operations for SG.

For the A350, he was purposefully vague. He said what Airbus had
underestimated was how strongly the customers would push Airbus to come
up with something better. He was asked if Airbus had underestimated
Boeing's 787. So his answer was a way to not answer the question.

While making absolutely sure he didn't reveal any hard information, he
made it look like the Aluminium-Lithium is great and mentioned that
customers don't care for carbon fibre, they care about aircraft
performance. So it is likely that the 350 will maintain its aluminium fuselage.

A350 V1.0 and V2.0 started with the A330 wing that was just redesigned
to be made of carbon.  He said that they would now have to "tweak it" to
answer to customer demands.  So they may take some of the structural
work already done for a all carbon wing and just change its shape.

Champion did accept 2012 as a likely date for the new 350's introduction
into commercial service.

Another thing he repeated was that airlines really want to be able to
provide good comfort. He didn't stress that airlines are now demanding
better economic performance of aircaft. If A350 V3.0 offfers more room
for 9 across seating, but doesn't perform as well or better than 787,
then Airbus won't make much progress in market share.

BTW, check out the A380's rudder when it lands at LHR.  There was
supposedly a strong cross wind. You can really see it move and the
rudder is huge.  Does anyone know if it is automated/computer controlled
, or were those movements purely reflexes by the pilot to keep the plane
straight in a cross wind ?

Everything I know about it says the static properties are great but it's
challenging in fatigue.  Not insurmountable, but challenging.  My impression
was that Boeing decided that it was more productive to pursue composite than
try to work the kinks out of AlLi.  However, if Airbus has the issues licked
then it is a really good material.  Airbus did get well ahead of Boeing on
the use of welding to join metal skins.

He's right, but they do care a lot about maintenance costs and composites
(in theory) should be far better in that regard because they don't corrode
and the don't fatigue nearly as much.  Repair of "ramp rash" is also
supposed to be simpler for the composite, although Boeing has been pretty
tight-lipped on exactly how that's going to work.

I'm skeptical on that...I'm sure that's what he said, I'm just not sure
that's really what airlines want.  Otherwise, you'd be seeing a lot less
9-abrest 787's.

The last time I was at LHR I had to kill several hours in the BA
lounge...there was a very strong (25 knots+) crosswind and there were some
tremendous landings.  One BA 747-400 came within about one meter of having
an engine strike.

Assuming they haven't totally changed the control system, it could be
either.  The FBW system performs two functions beyond the wired flight
controls, envelope protection and augmented stability.  Envelope protection
is the FBW system altering inputs from the flight crew to protect the
airframe.  Augmented stability is the FBW system moving the flight controls
on its own to improve/alter aircraft attitude or loading.  If they were on
autoland (just glorified autopilot) then the FBW could have been doing all
the flying.

It looked like they came in kind of high (lots of use of flight spoilers
during final) and the flare was kind of sloppy, so I'm guessing they weren't
on autoland.  In that case, the rudder movements were probably pilot
commanded, since I doubt they'd have to invoke envelope protection or
augmented stability during final.

(Editors Note:   Now blash knows how JPM used his lost CD money.
Rumour is they
even renamed the 'New' CD's as OCD's)
REPORTED BY Mike Lebow

Banking giants HSBC and JP Morgan have been accused of "intentionally
and unlawfully" suppressing the price of silver futures traded on the
Comex exchange in New York after an ex-employee of Goldman Sachs in
London blew the whistle on the scheme.

In a lawsuit filed in New York last week, trader Eric Nalven has
launched a class action suit against the two banks, claiming they
"artificially depressed the price of silver dramatically downward" in
a scheme that netted the banks "substantial illegal profits".

This follows two suits filed at the end of October against both
banking groups, one of which claimed the "defendants reaped hundreds
of millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars in profits" from
the conspiracy.

The ex-Goldman Sachs employee, a veteran of 40 years, reported the two
banks activities to the US derivatives regulator, the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which has been conducting an
investigation into the manipulation of the silver market.

The whistleblower claims he was told about the conspiracy and scheme
by traders.

A spokesman for JP Morgan declined to comment.

subject: More anti-American racism...Mayor Parker announces candelight vigil for victims of Sikh temple shooting

text:
http://www.examiner.com/article/mayor-parker-announces-
candelight-vigil-for-victims-of-sikh-temple-shooting

At her regular press conference following the weekly city
council meeting August 8, 2012, Mayor Annise Parker announced
that the city will host an interfaith candlelight prayer vigil
Thursday evening, August 9, at 6:45 PM at the stairs leading to
the reflection pool behind City Hall (900 Smith Street between
McKinney and Walker Streets). Houstonians of all faiths are
invited to join the mayor and members of city council in prayer
for victims of the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting.

Among religious leaders expected to attend are:

Mr. Bobby Singh, Member, Sikh Community Volunteer & Emcee
The Honorable Annise D. Parker, Mayor, City of Houston
Mr. Elliot Gershenson, President & CEO, Interfaith Ministries
for Greater Houston
Bahaï¿½i: Ajit Giani, Houston Bahaï¿½i Community
Venerable Hung I, Jade Buddha Temple
Reverend Betty Adam, Christ Church Cathedral
Acharya Praveen Gulati, Hindus for Greater Houston
Rabbi Lyon, Congregation Beth Israel
Imam Wazir Ali, Islamic Society of Greater Houston
Bhai Sahib Manjit, Sikh Community of Houston
Manmeet Likhari, Sikh Community Member

One journalist asked why a vigil was organized for this event
and not for the earlier shooting at a movie theater in Colorado.
Mayor Parker stated that it would have been appropriate to hold
a vigil at that time as well. Many churches discussed the event
and prayed at that time. But the fact that this multiple killing
occurred so soon after the first makes it even more important
for people to unite in sympathy for victims. Investigation is
ongoing as to whether the Sikh temple shooting will be
considered a hate crime.

The mayor's press release stated:

The August 5 massacre at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin has jolted
the consciousness of Americans and people all over the world. In
the aftermath of this act of domestic terrorism, in which six
innocent people lost their lives, now is the time for citizens
of good will to come together in solemn testimony to the common
values that we share. Houston Mayor Annise Parker invites the
Houston community to take part in a candlelight vigil to honor
the memory of the victims of this violent act, express
condolences to their survivors and families and affirm our
communityï¿½s solidarity against hate crime, terrorism and
religious intolerance.

The Christians are sure going to be glad to read that last part.

I'm just getting ready to set up my baby's room and have some questions
for those of you who use cribs...

What sort of sheets, mattress pads, etc should I put in my baby's crib?

Right now I have a decorative crib ruffle, 2 waterproof mattress pads,
3-4 fitted sheets and 2 terrycloth "sheet savers"...none of this is
actually in the crib yet...this is just what I have.

Besides putting on the crib ruffle, should I put 1 mattress pad and 1
fitted sheet on the mattress?  Or is it better to sort of layer the
stuff on so it is easier to just strip a layer off for late night
accidents or whatever?

Also, when I was shopping I saw a "mattress cover"...it was something
like a plastic (or maybe vinyl) cover for the mattress that covers it
completely and zips on...to protect the mattress I suppose.  Is this
something I should have?  Is it safe (for SIDS)?  In a way to me it
would be like leaving the plastic on the mattress which I believe is a
no-no.

Guess I'm wondering what you all put on your crib mattresses by way of
sheets, pads, covers, etc...

I'm probably making rocket science out of nothing...thanks in advance

doesn't absorb liquid), several fitted sheets, various blankets and quilts,
and a plastic mattress cover.

That is entirely up to you IMO....because every baby is different.  With a
few nights of trial and error, you will find what works best for you.

Our matteress cover is exactly as you describe.  With DS, it was enough of
a challenge to get it on the mattress and get it zipped that I was not
concerned with him suffocating.  My understanding is that the mattress
cover is to protect the mattress from baby fluids that could stain and
potentially ruin the mattress (fluids can soak in and mold/mildew). as far
as it being "like leaving the plastic on the mattress", IME, that was the
farthest thing from the truth.   It was *very* tight, and with a sheet over
it there was no way that it could get stuck around his face.  When I say
*very* tight, I mean that it took me the better part of 45 minutes to
wrangle the thing onto the mattress and get it zipped.  Not a whole lot of
fun when you are 9 months along and are impatient for your DH to come home
from work to help.  Plastic sheeting that comes on the mattress to begin
with is more of a dust protector and is rather loose.  I'm not saying that
you should get one, but I'm not saying that you shouldn't.  I'm sure that
you can find lots of places that will say "yes, use it' and others that
will say "NO DON"T!!!!".

I had the covered mattress, with a fitted sheet over it, then the sheet
saver over it, followed by a blankie of some sort to cover baby with.  I'm
sure if you wanted, you could put the sheet saver under the sheet for added
protection of the mattress, but I found that mattress cover to be more
water tight than I originally thought.  I used the sheet saver over the
sheets so I wasn't washing sheets all day if we had an accident.  The sheet
saver is much more durable than sheets, and stands up to repeated washings
a lot better IMO.

The sheet saver that I have, I believe is to be some sort of waterproof
heavy canvas with a fuzzy-ish coating on it.  It is heavy and fairly stiff,
but still soft to the touch.  I have two sizes of these.  One is a crib
size that coveres the mattress, and the other is a "lap size" for when baby
is on the floor, or your lap...its roughly 12X12inches.  I have several of
these, one goes in the basinette, one is in the car seat, and I have a
couple for when baby is on my lap and I'm expecting a blowout.

After the first few days of DS being home, I had figured out his "normal"
elimination schedule, and we rarely had diaper blowouts.  There was the
occasional bout of large fills, but we were able to catch most of them on
time.  Most of the time, we had a wet diaper right after eating, and the
poopy diapers we only had about 2-3 times a day, and rarely at night.

The thing I discovered real quick with my first baby is that no part of it
is rocket science  <G>  Sometimes there is a lot of trial and error that
goes into it, but it never hurts to ask other mothers what they did in that
situation.  I'd say in the end regarding bedding, is to set it up one way,
and see if it works...if it doesn't work, try it a different way.
Eventually you will find the combo that works best for you.

My babies are still in the cooking stage, but from everything I have heard,
you are not to have anything loose fitting, or cushy on the crib that has
the potential for coming loose and the baby getting caught up/strangled, or
suffocate.  Like the cute matching crib comforters, you can't put those in
the cribs.  I don't know what your crib mattress is like, but the one we
bought has a vinyl type cover on the outside.  I don't see the need to put
an additional plastic cover over the outside.  I have a mattress pad  (thin,
heavy duty sheet) that I put under the fitted sheets, but I haven't seen any
of the other things.  How much of the layering is really necessary?  If you
get it too thick, you might as well leave the crib comforter in the crib.

Not sure about this (you may want to test on a non obvious spot on the car)
but try using dry ice to cool the hot glue.   If I'm not mistaken it'll
become brittle and can be flaked off with a plastic spoon.

Well, this is just an idea, and maybe a bad one, but what about VERY

If you stick to the parts that have that thin coat of hot glue on them,
maybe you could wear it down slightly without really doing any real
damage to the paint underneath.  (Hmm, perhaps you could even wax the
areas that don't have hot glue on them so that you'd only be removing
wax if you miss the hot glue with the sandpaper.)

Also, what about normal wear and tear?  Would the hot glue perhaps
just wear off over time?  This only makes sense if it isn't already
eating at the paint below it or something, but it's a thought.

Sounds like somebody needs more protein in his diet and maybe a
multivitamin :)

I'm a low-maintenance girl.  I do dishes by hand, do yardwork,
housework and wrangle sheep - without gloves, and with 100% natural
fingernails most of my friends consider excessively long.  I can't
remember the last time I broke a nail; usually I have to clip them
when they become obnoxiously long.

Hot glue is a lot like masking tape for 3D.
It's easy to take off.
Take a flat blade xacto knife and slowly slide it along the metal surface.
You should be able to get under the glue and it will pop off cleanly.

I use hot glue all the time at work to hold down test equipment and
keep stuff from moving around during the testing.

When the test is completed I remove the glue as above.

Tap it with a RUBBER or wood mallet.

My metal surface is painted.  It is actually a motorcycle gas tank...  Thus,
I'd like to avoid using a metal knife.  :)

Think a teflon scraper would work?  i could buff out those marks.

If you can slide a sharp blade parallel to the painted surface,
I don't think a metal blade would damage the paint. Of course,
I'm assuming the surface is flat, or if it's curved, it curves
away from the knife.

Don't know about a teflon scraper. Try it.

subject: Acting Out in Pre-School

text:
Hello All,
I'm a newbie around here and I was hoping someone might have some new
suggestions.  My 5-year-old son has been acting out in pre-school for
the past few months.  He only does this at school.  His behavior
consists of not listening, not staying with the group, talking back,
and aggressive behavior, such as hitting, pushing, biting, etc.
Nothing has changed at home or school.  There are no new children, no
new teachers, or no new people in his life.  He hasn't moved or lost
or gained a pet.  He doesn't express any fears or anxieties. He lives
with his 10 year old sister and me (his mother).  His father has been
gone since he was 18 months old and he rarely speaks to or sees him.
He will be starting kindergarten in the fall and he is excited about
it. He has attended full day pre-school since he was 3.  At school the
teachers use re-direction and time-outs to try to correct poor
behavior.  We have also started keeping a color chart marked by green
for good behavior, yellow for marginal, and red for unacceptable.
It's getting harder to identify and acknowledge good behavior at
school and there is no marginal behavior.  A period of 30 minutes of
excellent behavior is followed by tantrums and not listening,
seemingly triggered by nothing. The chart provides sticker rewards for
days with more green than red. After a month, he's only received a
couple of stickers.  He has chosen a designated ï¿½place of his own' in
his classroom, when he needs to settle down.  He rarely uses it.  He
doesn't really have any specific ï¿½comfort' items, as he changes his
preference all the time. I have spoken with several counselors who are
at loss for possible triggers or alternate suggestions.  At home he is
generally well behaved and polite and caring. He ï¿½does' seem to do
better in the classroom when the child/teacher ratio is smaller than
when class is full. The full ratio is 20:2.  We were thinking he's
just trying to get more attention.  And he's getting it.  It's
negative.  It's disruptive to the class. And it's definitely a safety
issue.  Does anyone have any ideas of how to address his need/desire
for more attention in the classroom?  I would really appreciate any
advice.
Thanks
Margi

PS.  Sorry for the length of this post, but I wanted to be sure you
had the details.

I think this is crux of it.  Being excited doesn't erase being anxious.  Kids

Is he having a growth spurt?

I am friends with a preschool teacher and she was recently complaining to
me about a child who has been quite aggressive towards the other children
in her class, even dangerously aggressive at times.  I consulted with an
acquaintance of mine, a former preschool director, who told me to advise
my friend to seek out an impartial observer to sit in the classroom and
observe the dynamics between the problem child, the preschool teacher, and
the other children in the class.  She suggested the observer should come
highly credentialed, Ph.D. at best, with experience in both child
psychology and preschool education.

The reason I'm telling you this is my friend, the former preschool
director, retold a variation on the theme from her own experience.  She
had a child who was out-of-control in the classroom and with the impartial
eye of an expert, was able to determine the source of the problem and made
the necessary adjustments to resolve the problem behavior.  The advice was
custom-tailored to the particular child so I don't think it would benefit
you to go into any detail.  But it sure worked to get an expert in there
for a consult.

Here are some suggestions for possible leads:

- the child psychologist for your local public school district

- a local child advocacy center

- Early Childhood Education Department at a local community college or
university

- the child psychologist at your local juvenille detention center

The most important part of this forumla is you are a concerned parent who
is pro-active in finding a resolution to the situation.  The worse thing
in the world are parents who ignore this kind of behavior or rationalize
it away.  Sometimes it only takes a very minor adjustment to set a kid on
a better path.  I wish you all the best as you seek the best for your
child.
