Out of Iraq Events Planned in Over 70
Local organizations have planned over 70 Out of Iraq events around the country on or about January 7th. (See list at bottom.) Most of the events are town hall forums, and several will feature members of Congress, including Bobby Scott, Diane Watson, Jim McDermott, Adam Smith, Bob Filner, Martin Sabo, Jim Moran, and John Murtha. Several other events will feature congressional staff, congressional and senatorial candidates, local elected officials, and leaders of the peace movement, including Gold Star Families for Peace founder Cindy Sheehan, and After Downing Street Co-Founder John Bonifaz.
While all of these events will focus on ending the war, many of them will also address Congressman John Conyers' new resolutions to censure President Bush and Vice President Cheney and to create a select committee to investigate and make recommendations on impeachment.
Tim Carpenter, Director of Progressive Democrats of America and Co-Founder of After Downing Street, said: "Progressive Democrats of America is proud to be working with grassroots organizations across the country to mobilize and organize a broad-based coalition to call for an end to the Occupation of Iraq and demand action from Congress to investigate the lies of the Bush administration and their conduct regarding the Iraq War."
The events are listed at the bottom of this release, and

Even today you can still sip a premium coffee in a Parisian cafe and soak up the atmosphere once experienced by Ernest Miller Hemingway. The great American writer and winner of the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature lived in the French capital in the 1920s and his presence is still felt to this very day.
The Lost Generation
A flurry of American writers and artists made their way to Paris in the years following World War I, drawn by its reputation as a haven for free intellectual and artistic expression and as a place where an expatriate could live for relatively little money. This ‘Lost Generation’ as they came to refer to themselves, embraced the Parisian cafe culture with enthusiasm. The Americans and others such as Picasso and Sartre would sit in cafes discussing art, philosophy and politics. Hemingway arrived in 1921, found Paris to be creatively stimulating, and embarked on what many consider to be his prime creative period. One of the best loved expatriate hangouts of the 1920s and 1930s still stands. The Shakespeare and Company bookshop on the rue de la Bouderie was where Hemingway purchased his English language books while in Paris and talked about fondly in his novel A Moveable Feast.
Following In Hemingway’s Footsteps
There are plenty of Parisian locations to be enjoyed by the Hemingway enthusiast. He loved to wander the area of the Left Bank known as the Latin Quarter. The streets around the boulevard Montparnasse provided the backdrop for the opening scenes of his novel The Sun Also Rises. At the junction of rue Jacob and rue Bonaparte is the Café Pri aux Clercs, a particular favourite of the writer, which remains today a romantic and typically Parisian bistro-café with real atmosphere and where they whip up a great salad. On the boulevard Montparnasse stands La Closerie des Lilas, where Hemingway loved to spend time eating, drinking and savouring the Paris cafe culture. Today this is a restaurant with a pleasant dining terrace and presents live music most evenings. When the writer visited his literary mentor Gertrude Stein in her apartment at 27 rue des Fleurus, he walked there via the delightful surroundings of the Jardin du Luxembourg, which may well have been his favourite location in all of Paris, and remains today perhaps the most picturesque green space in the city. It was an exciting time in an exciting city, and today it’s still possible to envision Paris as it was in Hemingway’s glorious 1920s.

Abby Williams Hill: Artist and Advocate
Abby Williams Hill (1861-1943) was a landscape painter, social activist, and prolific writer with an insatiable love of travel and learning. She produced a remarkable collection of landscape paintings showcasing the grandeur of the American West, as well as a vast archive of letters and journals addressing issues of continuing social and historical interest including African-American and Native-American rights, early childhood education, and the preservation of our national parks. This exhibit tells the story of Hill's unique life and features several pieces of her artwork, as well as family photographs from the archival collection.
The Abby Williams Hill Collection was donated to the University of Puget Sound in the decades following Hill's death in 1943. It consists of over 150 pieces of Hill's artwork as well as personal papers including correspondence, diaries, news clippings, ephemera, photographs, and artifacts. The collection is available for viewing at the university by appointment.
Presented in partnership with the University of Puget Sound.

How 'bout a little Magitek mayhem?
Thanks to Xorth for giving me a change of subject.
I'm happy to announce that my family and I are in the process of adopting a little girl from China! We hope to bring her home early next year sometime. We actually started the process in January and have gotten a lot done towards it. Please keep us in your prayers!
I wrote a twitter bot on the @HaloCharts twitter. With it, you can reply to @HaloCharts with #halo4stats followed by your gamertag and after a few seconds, @HaloCharts will reply to you with the Halo 4 stats of the gamertag you entered. It's cool!
Here's a screenshot of how your reply should look for it to work:
I have setup a system that will let you generate a Halo 4 Stats Signature Image. Check it out here: http://firestream.net/h4sigs/
There are a lot of uses for images like these, including the use of them on your own site or blog, post them on twitter/facebook, or stick them in your forum signatures all over. Hopefully somebody will find this useful and I only wish I could have set this up 5 months ago :)
It's nice here. Taken with my iPhone 4S
Here's my entry for the Art Challenge, tweeted out
by @DestinyTheGame the other day.
It's Destiny re-imagined as an old-school SNES era video game! (A la Mega Man)
I worked on the model a bit more. Better lighting and shadows and better reflections too. Enjoy!
Ok, here's all 3 of the Destiny Tricord renders for your viewing pleasure! Done with 3DS Max and a little touch up in Photoshop. They look really good full-size
A dark version... came out nice!
I made this over the weekend, but am just now posting it. Enjoy.
I'm having a blast getting back into 3D! It's been a few years.
I made this for my company
. Just sticking it here so I can get to easily.
I have a lot of new #Destiny art to work with, thanks to their GDC presentation. Here's a kick-off desktop. Enjoy!
Started this one last year. Finished finally!
Heavy inspiration from the original Star Wars posters from 1977.

As the world grapples with the threat of climate change, governments and businesses have been seeking ways to reduce their environmental footprint. One such solution that has gained significant traction in recent years is the carbon trading agreement.
What is a carbon trading agreement?
At its core, a carbon trading agreement is a market-based solution that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The concept is simple: companies or governments that pollute the environment are allowed to purchase carbon credits from other entities that have reduced their emissions. These credits can then be used to offset their own emissions, effectively incentivizing them to reduce their carbon footprint.
The process works like this: an independent organization sets a cap on the amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted in a given period. Companies that emit less than the cap receive carbon credits, which they can sell to other companies that exceed the limit. This creates a financial incentive for companies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid purchasing additional credits.
Why are carbon trading agreements important?
Carbon trading agreements are often hailed as a crucial tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They provide a cost-effective way for businesses to reduce their carbon footprint while also fostering innovation and encouraging companies to invest in cleaner technologies.
Furthermore, carbon trading agreements can help level the playing field for companies operating in different jurisdictions. Often, companies in countries with lax environmental regulations can produce goods more cheaply than those in countries with stricter regulations. Carbon trading agreements can help ensure that these companies pay for the environmental damage they cause, effectively making their goods more expensive and creating a more level playing field for all businesses.
Are carbon trading agreements effective?
While carbon trading agreements have been implemented successfully in some areas, their effectiveness is still a matter of debate among experts. Some critics argue that such agreements do not do enough to address the root causes of climate change, and that they merely allow companies to continue polluting while paying for the privilege.
Others, however, point to the success of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), which has been in operation since 2005. The system has helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the EU and has spurred investment in clean technologies.
The future of carbon trading agreements
As the impact of climate change becomes increasingly urgent, it is likely that carbon trading agreements will continue to grow in popularity. Many governments and businesses are exploring new and innovative ways to reduce their environmental footprint, and carbon trading agreements are likely to play a significant role in these efforts.
Ultimately, the effectiveness of carbon trading agreements will depend on how they are implemented and regulated. If they are carefully designed to incentivize companies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and if they are subject to rigorous oversight and enforcement, they could play an important role in mitigating the worst effects of climate change.

Life teaches things the hard way; that is, experience and learn. Impact has a lot to do in life. How hard the hit was, decide how well you learned. Sometimes life puts you in a position that you have to pause and think, “what’s next?”. Then again, you make the wrong decision even after all those thinking and you end up regretting. I hurt someone by ignoring her because someone else I cared about didn’t like the former, and the latter hurts me, and I regret hurting the first person. Quite a ‘mesh’. Well, life indeed is a mess; especially mine. Writing all these is not gonna change anything, but it gives me relief, may be that’s why I’m much better off alone. Yeah, I really do love solitude. It gives me space and time to think and resolve. I can put on my other self, and live a happy life in my own little world as much as I can, without distractions. It feels like an open source enthusiast who is compelled to work on a Windows machine gets a chance to boot into his favorite UNIX system. Like, when I myself get a chance to work on Kali Linux and I’m exploring and exploiting on it.
When I’m with myself my thoughts are more clear, I can know what I did wrong or where my calculations went wrong. Where my moves were wrong. I can’t change anything that already happened. But I just had the realization of some real important things.
Corporate world is not some place to have fun. Mind your business, you’ll be spared. Make no friends, but only connections. Connections that can help you to climb up in the ladder of success. There’s no friend or foe. Only colleague and boss. I really wish if there was a practical study on real life, so that I could spare myself from the emotional trauma. Anyway, better late than never. Training for life and job. This was good! I could save myself from getting carried away from my life goals and missions to complete before the deadline.
Put the jacket on, zip up and pull the head cap, put the hands in pocket and,
Goodbye world! There are much better things to do than moping!
~This was written during my last week of training at Bangalore when I was going through a bad time. I’m feeling pretty good now, away from that place and people, though I’d rather not meet them again. I’m back to high spirits, cheerful and ready to meet new people and experience new things. Leaving this here for.. well, no reason 😉

The kindness in the nature of this breed makes him an all round caring dog that will protect his family with devotion if he sees the need. While boldness is a common rottweiler trait they are also highly sensitive to their people s emotions.
The rottweiler is calm confident smart courageous and extremely sure of themselves in many situations.
Rottweiler personalities. Rottweiler temperament personality training behavior pros and cons advice and information by michele welton dog trainer behavioral consultant author of 15 dog books the akc standard describes the rottweiler as a calm confident and courageous dog with a self assured aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate. Rottweilers are slightly longer than tall large dogs ranging in height from 22 inches for a small female to 27 inches for a large male. These are intelligent strong loyal and fun loving dogs undeserving of their aggressive label.
Again the way they you raise and train your dog will bring this trait out in the most positive light. Rotties make this noise sort of the way cats purr. The rottweiler dog breed is very popular and for good reason.
They are not highly excitable and often prefer to sit back and examine the room or sniff someone out before they actually involve themselves in a situation. To put it simply a rottie is not a wuss. With a size between medium and large and a very powerful appearance the rottweiler inspires both respect and admiration at the same time.
Rottweiler owners often become very devoted to the breed and find them to be wonderful companions. One aspect of rottweiler behavior that s often misinterpreted as growling is their habit of rumbling down deep in their throat. Summing up the rottweiler temperament.
This is one of the reasons why training your. The first impression of a rottweiler is of solid strength and that is quite accurate. Now rotties are home dogs that don t have the physique for stamina.
Dogs that love to be playful and chase kids in fun are generally considered kid friendly. The rottweiler s personality and temperament the rottweiler is known for having a gentle disposition. Rottweiler traits bold.
The rottweiler breed often gets a bad reputation. The rottweiler is a well bred dog in both its traits and personality. They re robust muscular dynamic and strong.
Although rumbling is the best way i know to describe the sound it s definitely not an expression of discontent quite the opposite. He loves people and when bred properly he will make a great and gentle companion. Rottweiler temperament and personality.
Rotties despite being large are quite kid friendly and love to protect your child too. However they are not dogs for everyone. The rottweiler is a dog once meant for the open plains to exhaust their aggression if they had any and their muscles by driving cattle and to always remain guarded.
They tend to be very self assured and really not afraid of anything.

New Delhi (Moneycontrol): Egyptians have voted overwhelmingly to constitutional amendments, allowing the country to move swiftly toward fresh parliamentary and presidential elections.
Moving further beyond the legacy of ousted President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year authoritarian regime, in the first test for democracy 77.2% Egyptians voted “yes” to the nine constitutional amendments suggested by a committee formed by the Supreme Armed Forces Council.
The amendments limit the presidency to two four-year terms and lay out the requirement of a public referendum for imposing a state of emergency that lasts longer than six months. Egypt has been under a state of emergency for the last 30 years.
Other amendments in the package make easier the requirements for independent candidates seeking the presidency, besides laying out complete judicial oversight for elections.
By virtue of this result, the amended articles are the only active ones, while the rest of the constitution is suspended until a new constitution is written. The military-led transitional government has promised to hold free and fair elections in June.
One of the provisions in the amendments requires the new parliament to appoint a constitutional assembly within six months of taking office. The constitutional assembly will then be responsible for drafting a new constitution, which would be put to another referendum before taking effect.
For Egyptians, the referendum was the first truly free vote in three decades. However, it divided Egyptians between those who said the reforms would suffice and others who said the constitution needed a complete rewrite.
While Egypt”s two main political forces, the former ruling National Democratic Party and the Muslim Brotherhood, had both asked people to vote a “yes”, other opposition groups, including, Nobel Laureate Mohammad Elbaradei”s camp. The cultural ”elite” are also unsatisfied with the result seeing it as a sign the religious groups and hardliners are popular.
Many of the people who voted “yes” said they want the economy to get back on track as the country has been suffering since the revolution on 25 January.
The Cairo Alexandria Stock Exchange has been shut since 28 January and is facing the possibility of being taken-off international indices if the shutdown is longer than three months.
The junta-sponsored referendum had come in for criticism by four human rights groups, who filed complaints with the higher judicial committee alleging some irregularities during the voting. The groups, including
Observers without Borders, the New World Foundation for Development and Human Rights, alleged members of the National Democratic Party and the Muslim Brotherhood as well as Salafists tried to influence voters during voting held for the constitutional amendments.
Even officials at polling stations attempted to convince voters to vote “yes”, they said.

Sun (JAVA): Fire CEO Schwartz And Chair McNealy And Save $4 Million
Fire the two clowns who run Sun Microsystems (JAVA) and the firm saves about $4 million in cash compensation. Compared with the 5,000 to 6,000 people the company will let go to save about $700 million the amount may seem small, but every little bit helps.
Sun has fired people in several restructurings since Jonathan Schwartz took the CEO job from Scott McNealy, a Harvard man who is one of company’s founders. The duo have managed to get the Sun stock price from $25 in October of 2007 to $4 today. It seems only right that they hold hands and leave with the people whose jobs they have been responsible for.
According to the Sun proxy, which came out in September, McNealy made $1 million in base salary and $782,000 in non-equity incentive compensation. Schwartz had a base salary of $1 million and got over $1 million in non-equity comp of his own.
Schwartz also got a $52,000 car allowance. He must have a pretty nice ride.

Kim Jong-il: Legendary golfer and mythical powers even in death
North Korea's propaganda machine gave Kim Jong-il supernatural powers, creating a mystique around the leader. Next up: his son Kim Jong-un.
AP Photo/KRT via APTN
Just before North Korean leader Kim Jong Il died, the skies glowed red above sacred Mount Paektu and the impenetrable sheet of ice at the heart of the mystical volcano cracked with a deafening roar.
At least, that's the official account of the supernatural circumstances preceding Kim's death last Saturday, as relayed by the state-run Korean Central News Agency. The news agency is one of the chief propaganda organs tasked with building up the quasi-religious mystique around the Kim family, which has ruled North Korea since its founding in 1948.
The tools for making the myth have been developed over two generations, dating back to Kim's father, late President Kim Il Sung. But with Kim Jong Il's sudden death and the ascension of his young son Kim Jong Un, North Korea's image artisans will have to do it all at warp speed.
Some of the hallmarks of the mythmaking machine in North Korea:
Founder Kim Il Sung remains North Korea's "eternal president" and lies embalmed at his former presidential palace. Son Kim Jong Il took over after his father's death in 1994 in what was the communist world's first hereditary succession. He's now lying in state at the Kumsusan Memorial Palace.

In 2004, as builders in the nation's capital added the finishing touches to the National World War II Memorial, a physician's assistant in Ohio began asking some of his older patients about the memorial. They'd like to go, they said, and hoped some day that they would.
Earl Morse, in his job as a P.A., saw these patients on follow-up visits, and as the months passed, it became clear that for the vast majority the dream would probably fade. They lacked the money for an airline ticket and hotel stay and lacked the stamina for a long car trip to Washington. Morse wanted to find a way to get the World War II veterans to Washington to see the memorial. A retired Air Force captain and private pilot, he began flying veterans to Washington, D.C. and escorting them personally on a tour of the sights. Soon, he recruited other pilots, and the Honor Flight organization was born.
In late 2005, Jeff Miller, a dry cleaning company owner in Hendersonville, North Carolina was inspired by Morse's vision. He had a similar idea but on a larger scale. Miller, the son of a World War II veteran and nephew of a B-24 bomber pilot who died in the war, had been a charter member of the National World War II Memorial Foundation. Like Morse, Miller lamented that many WWII veterans would be unable to visit the memorial.
One day Miller picked up the phone and called a US Airways official based in North Carolina. The voice on the other end said, "You run a dry cleaning business in Hendersonville and you want to charter a 737?" Unfazed, Miller asked the man his age. "Your father is a World War II veteran, isn't he?" Miller said. "Don't you think he deserves the chance to see the memorial?" Pause. "I'll call you right back," the U.S. Airways official said.
The seed that Morse had planted grew to a veritable forest of volunteerism, fundraising and goodwill toward the Greatest Generation veterans, who had been too busy building their communities to demand recognition for wartime service. On Sept. 23 & 24 and Nov. 4, 2006, HonorAir flew more than 300 WWII veterans from the Asheville airport to Washington, every single one of them absolutely free. HonorAir provided everything: A medical doctor and several EMTs, guardians who would attend to the needs of three to four veterans each, tour buses to take them the World War II Memorial and other national memorials, and a box lunch. Ticket agents and passengers lined the ropes as veterans emerged from the charter jets into the terminal. The veterans who had patriotically lifted their hands to their hearts many times in the 61 years since the war ended had never seen anything like the hero's reception they received in Washington. "CBS Sunday Morning" aired a moving feature about the HonorAir effort in September 2006. Geist updated the story in 2007 because it was a story that was so important to him.
"That story that CBS and Bill Geist did was the catalyst because Bill told the story of the veterans," Miller said.
Spurred by Miller's determination, perseverance and organizational savvy, the effort to fly veterans to the WWII memorial spread across America. In February 2007, Morse and Miller merged their organizations to create the Honor Flight Network.
Recognizing the need for a full time partner with a ready-made corps of volunteers, Miller reached out to attorney Bob Haggard in 2007. As president of the Asheville, N.C., Rotary Club, Haggard put the HonorAir project on the agenda of a Rotary planning meeting.
"I showed the 'CBS Sunday Morning' video and when that finished and they all had tears running down their cheeks. I said, 'We're going to do this as a community service project, aren't we?" said Haggard. After the Asheville club sponsored three flights for Buncombe County veterans, Rotary clubs throughout Western North Carolina adopted HonorAir as a region wide project, sponsoring 10 more flights. From there the effort spread to Greenville, Roxboro, Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Wilmington and across the nation.
In communities from South Florida to Maine and westward to California, World War II veterans boarded planes, flew to Washington, humbly accepted the congratulations of hundreds of onlookers, and toured the monument that memorializes their war.
"The attention that we're getting... just nothing ceases to amaze me," Benjamin King, a U.S. Navy veteran who served aboard the USS Nelson, told the Wilmington, N.C. Star-News after Marines in dress uniform met the Wilmington veterans at Reagan International Airport.
The flights gave guardians and other volunteers as much joy as it did veterans.
"It's a great way to meet people, hear stories, watch them with their comrades. I think it's therapeutic for some of them," John Cockrum, a founding board member of an Honor Flight group out of Wilmington, said after the local organization flew 102 veterans to Washington in May 2010.
The numbers continued to grow as efforts sprang up around the country. By the end of 2017, the Honor Flight Network and HonorAir have flown well over 200,000 veterans to see the memorial.
On September 24, 2016, the former HonorAir took its maiden voyage as Blue Ridge Honor Flight. It was the organization's 500th flight in conjuction with US Airways/American Airlines. Since then, Blue Ridge Honor Flight has flown missions in May and September of 2017. April and October flights are scheduled for 2018. With your support, BRHF will continue its mission to transport America's heroes from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War to their memorials in Washington, D.C for many years to come.

The United States is “definitely on the way” toward achieving nuclear fusion, called the most promising alternative for freeing the developed world from dependence on imported petroleum.
Former Oklahoman William B. Briggs, considered one of the world’s top authorities on nuclear fusion, says a commitment is required by the United States to reach the goal of generating abundant electricity by fusing atoms of hydrogen.
Director of fusion energy program development at McDonnell-Douglas Astronautics Co., the St. Louis scientist was in Oklahoma last week to lecture at his alma mater, Phillips University in Enid.
At some point, he said, the federal government will be forced to turn to nuclear energy either fission or fusion. Fusion, the physicist-engineer says, is the most exciting energy advance in generations.
“Every generation has its exciting intellectual adventure.
Centuries ago, it was crossing the world’s oceans in sailing ships. For my generation, it was putting a man on the moon. Fusion energy is the intellectual adventure of the next generation,” he said.
“It was extremely unfortunate that the application of nuclear knowledge first hit mankind as a destructive force,” Briggs said.
“That perception will continue to limit the benefits from knowledge of nuclear physics for many years to come.”
Nuclear fission splits the uranium atom. Fusion involves forcing two atoms of a chemical element, such as hydrogen to join together. “It unites two particles of fusing them together. This makes intense heat and helium,” Briggs explained.
“You take this heat and turn it into steam and run the steam through a turbine just like conventional models, to make electricity.”
Before and after Three Mile Island, fission has met strong and widespread public opposition because of the threat to mankind of both the potential for accident and its vast residues of nuclear wastes.
Fusion virtually eliminates the peril of nuclear accident; produces hardly any atomic wastes, and the production fuel is water rather than some other form of energy, Briggs said.
“We want to be an industrial applier. We are helping all of them as best we can.” Two principal unknowns remain to be resolved, he said.
“First is how you can control the plasma which is the working fluid.
“Second are the engineering devices to contain it. You have superconducting magnets and various materials and you have to heat it (hydrogen) with neutral particle beams. For instance, you can heat with radio frequency energy. Those are the two categories of unknowns and they all have to be engineered and developed.”
The technology, Briggs explained, is “pretty far along. We are past the point of scientific feasibility. Next will be the demonstration that it will work.”
One of the most promising projects, he said, is at the Princeton University plasma physics laboratory, where “either this year or next year they will demonstrate break-even, the point at which you get as much energy out of plasma as you put into heating.”
“After that there would have to be another device. The next generation would be to go to ignition. Ignition is where the fuel is actuallly burning in a nuclear sense,” Briggs said.
At that point, he said, some decisions would have to be made by governments on building a demonstratin nuclear fusion plant, to show that abundant electricity by using fusion is feasible. Political action is necessary, he said because only governments are the source of funding.
The next step after showing that it can be done through a working plant, would be to make it economically feasible. “Then you would start putting it into place.”
When all this might happen for Americans is largely up to the federal government, he said.
I grew up in the space age and when our government made a commitment to go to the moon and back, we did it in 11 years. And when someone makes the commitment to have fusion power, we will do it. With a commitment from the United States government, we could do it in a decade. Without such a commitment, it could take 20 years.’ Briggs said a lot of people in government are listening and giving strong endorsement for fusion. Other governments, meanwhile, have already taken such an obligation upon themselves.
“The governments of Japan and a European group, I think including Italy, France, West Germany and England, have all gone together and have determined in the past year or two to go ahead. The Russians have a significant effort going. Their “tokamak’, a magnetic concept for building a fusion reactor, is the best yet.”
The Oak Ridge laboratory in Tennessee as well as Princeton, the University of Texas and a number of other university research projects use the Russian tokamak, he said.
“We are definitely on the way. The promise is so great there will be no halting us, but there could be a slopwing or holding constant. We are money limited right now, not knowledge limited.”
One of the greatest aspects of fusion power is that the technology could be linked to existing generation plants.
“Steam is steam. The turbine doesn’t care where it comes from. It would be more economical than starting over.”
But he noted “fusion won’t make coal or natural gas or fission power plant obsolete. Where you can get good coal, coal plants will still be economical. In Wisconsin, there is an area of four or six fission devices close together in a huge energy park. That will operate for the next 100 years at least. Fusion won’t make that obsolete.”
Since water is the fuel of fusion, it won’t necessarily be economical in a desert. But until it is here, Briggs believes the United States should put its house and law in order and go ahead with such projects as the Clinch Breeder Reactor in Tennessee.
The breeder reactor is the next generation of fission plants, earliers ones being light water reactors, Briggs explained. The advantage is that breeder reactors consume a much lower grade of uranium fuel. Much less refining of the ore is required, which reduces costs. In addition, a breeder reactor can use depleted fuels from light water reactors.


text: Exposure to agrochemicals in the aquatic environment often occurs as time-varying or repeated pulses. Time-varying exposures may occur due to runoff events and spray drift associated with precipitation and application events. Hydrologic dilution, dispersion, and degradation also produce pulsed exposures. Standard laboratory toxicity tests using constant exposure concentrations typically do not investigate the toxicity of time-varying or repeated exposures. Detoxification, elimination, and recovery may occur within organisms or populations during the periods between exposures. The difficulty of estimating effects of realistic time-varying exposures from measurements made under constant exposure conditions is often an important source of uncertainty in ecological risk assessment of pesticides. This article discusses the criteria and tools for deciding whether time-varying exposures are relevant in a particular risk assessment, approaches for laboratory toxicity testing with time-varying exposure, modeling approaches for addressing effects of time-varying exposure, deterministic and probabilistic ecological risk characterization of time-varying exposures and toxicity, and uncertainty analysis.

In celebration of San José being declared the Latin American-Iberian Cultural Capital this year, the Municipality of San José held an urban art festival last weekend in the downtown Art Plaza.
The three-day festival was held to promote “natural creativity and imagination” through painting, drawing and sculpting by a variety of contemporary artists, according to a statement from the municipality.
The event also created a space for the public to try their hands at art through origami, pottery, sidewalk painting and contemporary dance workshops held throughout the weekend. The work of artists from around the country was also for sale.
On Saturday evening, the plaza transformed into an outdoor café with cold and hot coffees and pastries available as pedestrians strolled through exhibits and took in musical, dance and theatrical performances.
A performance by international award winning singer Humberto Vargas topped off the night Friday, and Grupo Las Tortugas played for crowds Saturday.

I have also written a smiley fairy-tale called "A Frown
Came To Smileville", using all of the smiley gifs I have
collected from different sites on the web! If you want to
read it just click on the smiley!
If I had unlimited space and money, there are
things I would collect! The first is Liddle Kiddles...I am
fascinated by them! They are so cute and have such neat
stories! I never had any as a child, but some day I might!
These are some Kiddle pictures I found on the web...the one on the right is Liddle Middle Muffet, and the one on the left is Miss Mouse...isn't she cute?! I love mice!
The other thing I would collect is Kewpie Dolls...again, they're just too cute! Kewpie dolls were created in 1912, by Rose O'Neill. They were based on drawings she had done in 1909 for Ladies Home Journal. Modeled after her baby brother, she named them kewpies because they looked like cupids!
These are adorable pictures that I found on the web...I have included links to the sites where I found them! I hope you enjoy these pics and links a much as I have! Have fun!!!
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm
"I think so, Brain, but this time, you put the trousers on the chimp."
I got to thinking about it, and Pinky and the Brain seem to fit perfectly on this page! I don't watch many cartoons, but Pinky and the Brain is special! It's about two lab rats at Acme Labs. The Brain has become extremely intelligent and Pinky...well, Pinky...I don't exactly know what happened to Pinky! Brain is determined to take over the world, and that is what each episode is about. Brain is so obnoxiously intelligent, and Pinky, although he's dumb as a stick, is more emotionally mature. Sorta. I love that "Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?" stuff! NARF!!
So I added some links to really cool and funny Pinky and the Brain sites. If you've never seen this show, check out these pages, and then check out the show! I can't guarantee you'll like it, but I love it! It seems to me that Pinky and the Brain is a cartoon for adults more than children, but it may just be that I like kid's stuff! Who knows...or cares?! As long as it makes me happy, I think it's OK!

NAELA Public Policy Priority 2013-2014: Reforming Observation Status
Pre-Existing Conditions and Sale of Medigap Policies
NAELA Public Policy Guidelines
The Medicare program is an important source of health care coverage for seniors and people with disabilities. It must be comprehensive in its scope of coverage and services, affordable for individuals and for the public fiscal arena, flexible in the array of covered options and designed to maximize the good health and quality of life of all its beneficiaries.
A. NAELA advocates for the Medicare program to continue to offer coverage for a set of comprehensive services that includes, at a minimum, preventive, acute care, rehabilitation, skilled nursing facility, home health care and hospice services. NAELA supports the addition of long-term and chronic care services to the comprehensive service package.
B. NAELA encourages supporting staffing and funding of the administrative component of the Medicare program to be adequate, diverse, and responsive to program and beneficiary needs, including monitoring and enforcement of program standards and quality of care.
C. NAELA advocates that the Medicare program improve and streamline processes to ensure the flexibility to add new services and options as technology expands and needs arise.
D. NAELA advocates that proposals for privatization in all its forms be studied in light of avoiding fragmentation and assuring the broad public policy objectives of social insurance as recognized in our current Social Security System.
E. NAELA encourages that financing for the Medicare program be reasonable and adequate and reflective of the cost of providing coverage for a comprehensive scope of services, including the impact of any beneficiary cost-sharing. Financing mechanisms should not favor managed care delivery mechanisms over the traditional Medicare program.
F. NAELA advocates that Medicare beneficiaries and their legal representatives be provided notice and an opportunity to appeal the denial, reduction, or termination of services and benefits in any health care delivery setting, including prescription drug benefits, pre-termination review, and expedited review of requests for urgently needed services.
G. NAELA advocates that the Medicare program provide guidance to its program contractors, service providers, and program administrators about establishing a process for beneficiary complaints about such matters as location of services, provider-beneficiary relations, and courtesy of service. NAELA suggests that procedures include the resolution of complaints about quality of care.
H. NAELA supports the availability of benefit counselors through the Aging and State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) networks and standardized, clear, and accurate descriptions of the Medicare program, reasonable and fair information about how to make choices among options, including comparative marketing and performance information.
I. NAELA supports the establishment of a program of advocacy assistance for assuring patients’ rights and services, comprised of at least two components: (a) government funded advocates (including lawyers) for low-income persons and (b) unrestricted access to private attorneys for those who can afford them.
J. NAELA opposes the concept of allowing Medicare providers to opt out through private contracting while remaining in the Medicare program.
K. NAELA opposes the concept of measuring Medicare solvency by the percentage of Medicare funding that comes from general revenues, when Medicare Parts B and D were designed to be funded by a combination of general revenues and beneficiary premiums.
L. NAELA opposes further efforts to means test Medicare benefits.
Resolutions adopted by the NAELA Board of Directors May 6, 1998

The Possibilities are Endless with a 3D Pen
3D Pens can do so much more than doodling
A couple of years ago, the big splash was the possibility to make 3D drawings from a personal computer, with a 3D Printer. That was just a precursor of what was to come with the 3Doodler with its 3D pen possibilities. A 3Doodler pen is the world’s first instrument that allows a person to create 3D drawings by extruding heated plastic, turning it into a continuous filament that cools, allowing the building of the 3D structures. Think of it as a finely pointed glue stick gun, where the plastic comes out in a fine string that can be used to create three-dimensional images of just about anything one can think of.
The 3D pen possibilities are almost limitless. But the 3Doodler pens are not without their challenges, which one could expect with a new product that has been on the market for less than one year.

See the 3Doodler Pen in Action
To see what the 3D pen possibilities are, which may be difficult to envision, have a look at the video available on this link to see what can be done with the 3Doodler pen.
To ABS or Plastic It
The 3Doodler pen comes with two options for the drawing medium. ABS is available, as well is, Plastic. Both have their advantages, which are described below:
ABS and the 3Doodle Pen
ABS, and we will not worry about the technical name, suffice to suggest that ABS is sufficient, is a plastic that is low cost, and when heated and then cooled, forms a very strong and stiff material that is well suited for use in free-standing 3D drawing with the 3Doodle pen.
Advantages of ABS
Following are the advantages of using ABS as the drawing medium:
- The ABS plastic is suitable for drawing freestanding 3D pictures. For example, if you wanted to draw a standing tree, the ABS would be the better material for drawing the freestanding trunk. The ABS is best wherever drawings are required in a plane that is above the horizontal, to the vertical, either in straight form or a twisted or other shaped form.
- The ABS plastic is somewhat flexible if you require flexibility in a piece to make it fit either form or function.
- The ABS plastic works best for drawing on paper outlines, for example, using a paper drawing to overlay the plastic, to be peeled off and constructed with other pieces into a 3D structure. An example that is commonly used is the tracing of the components of the Eiffel Tower from a paper plan, and then building the 3D model of the Eiffel Tower.
Plastic and the 3Doodle
The Plastic used in the 3Doodler is a made of a biodegradable material that is less flexible and more brittle than ABS. It can be worked to a much finer detail than ABS, but is not well suited for making freestanding, greater than horizontal plane positioned pieces. The plastic has its advantages, the following:
- The plastic is more suitable than ABS for drawing acute angles due to its ability to be worked in finer detail.
- The plastic can be used for making 3D structures, however, it is better utilized in these types of situations where the plastic is used to follow patterns, and where the pieces are then put together to form the 3D structure.
- The plastic will stick to paper for long-lasting artwork. It has excellent adhesion properties.
- The plastic is excellent for 3D drawing on glass and acrylic due to its excellent adhesion properties.
- The plastic is semi-translucent and, therefore, works well in situations where semi-transparent 3D art is desired.
The 3Doodler, with its 3D pen possibilities, has opened up a whole new world for drawing, for artwork, for technical drawings and education. The 3D pen possibilities are almost endless, and just like other new products that hit the marketplace, they evolve, they get better and the price drops.
Just think of those first home printers that came out. They had few features, and they were pricey. Over time, the price dropped, they got better, and new features were added. We can expect the same with the 3Doodler pen, and we will see more and more 3D pen possibilities.
Here are some 3D Pen Templates for you to try.

New Zealand beats West Indies, enters semifinals
March 21 , 2015
New Zealand defeated West Indies by 143 runs in the Cricket World Cup. Batting first, New Zealand scored a mammoth 393 for the loss of six wickets and bowled out West Indies for 250 in 30.3 overs. Martin Guptill scored 237, which is the highest score in World Cup history. West Indies played a good knock but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Chris Gayle scored 61 runs off 33 balls, hitting eight sixes in the process, but it was far from enough. New Zealand, which has entered the semi-finals, will now play against South Africa.

Matina S. Horner, assistant professor of Clinical Psychology, will be the new President of Radcliffe.
The Radcliffe Board of Trustees will approve the appointment at 5 p.m. today. The Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers confirmed the appointment this morning.
Today's announcement follows a year-long search by a special committee seeking a replacement for Mary I Bunting. Candy Lee '72, a member of the committee, said yesterday that the committee considered more than 400 candidates and mailed out over 30,000 letters.
Because of the "non-merger merger" that was ratified last Spring, Horner will be President of the remaining Radcliffe facilities and a dean of the University.
The remaining Radcliffe facilities include the Schlesinger Library, the Radcliffe Institute, the Fund Office, the Graduate Career Planning Office and the Agassiz Theatre.
Bunting, who is 62, announced her retirement last year after serving 12 years as Radcliffe President. In March, she accepted a post for next year as special assistant to William Bowen, the incoming president of Princeton University.
"I will be dealing with questions like community access to the university, curriculum changes, guidance for undergraduates, and the relationship between Princeton and the state university system," Bunting said of her Princeton job.
Bunting also will join the board of directors of the Arthur D. Little Corporation.
The search committee reportedly discussed the position of Radcliffe President with at least two other people: Eleanor Maccoby, psychology professor at Stanford, and Marina K. Whitman, economics professor at the University of Pittsburgh and member of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. Whitman is also a candidate for the Board of Overseers.
Frances Cooper-Marshall Donovan, a Radcliffe Trustee and a member of the search committee, said that the committee personally interviewed a dozen candidates.
Horner will assume office on July 1. She will continue with some teaching and research, Donovan said today.
Horner is best known in academic circles for her work on the achievement motivations of women. In an article entitled "Femininity and Successful Achievement: A Basic Inconsistency", based on studies conducted at Radcliffe and the University of Michigan, Horner speculated that women in our culture have a "fear of success."
This fear, she wrote, is aroused by certain environmental conditions such as direct competition with males. Women often seem to feel that they are compromising their femininity if they compete successfully against men; these feelings. Horner suggested, result largely from the internalization of our society's sex role stereotypes.
Horner is the mother of three children. "It's just incredible," one of her women students remarked today. "Every day she goes home to her children at noon after working all morning, then comes back in the afternoon and does more work. She's phenomenal."
A 1961 cum laude graduate of Bryn Mawr College, Horner holds a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Michigan. She has participated in a number of research projects, and is a frequent contributor to publications in the field of motivation. In 1966, she was elected to both the Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi honorary societies.
Horner's teaching experience came first as a teaching fellow and later as a lecturer in psychology at the University of Michigan. In 1969, she came to Harvard as a Lecturer on Social Relations, and became an assistant professor in the Personality and Development field of Social Relations the following year. She currently teaches graduate seminars on motivation and the feminine personality, as well as Soc Rel 100a, "An Introduction to Personality."
Approval of the Radcliffe Trustees, of course, is dependent on a quorum of its membership being present at today's meeting.

I can't wait for the next game from Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone's, the creator of the brilliant, gentle farming sim Stardew Valley (opens in new tab). Details about his future plans are sparse but during a Reddit Q&A (opens in new tab) he shed some light on his next project's setting, revealing that it will take place "on the same planet" as Stardew Valley, "although it's not a sequel or expansion in any way".
Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that we should expect another pleasant countryside backdrop. Presumably, not everywhere on the planet is as idyllic as Pelican Town, where Stardew Valley takes place. Plus, the next game could be set in a different time period with different circumstances.
Barone is keeping his cards close to his chest about what the next game will involve, telling users that he doesn't want to pile on the pressure caused by premature hype. Plus it sounds like, whatever it is, is a while off. What he does say, though, is that it will build on a genre or style of game that he feels has not yet fully reached its potential, in the same way Stardew Valley did with Harvest Moon-style farming games.
"I am thinking of approaching my next game with a similar mindset to Stardew Valley—take a style of game that was never fully realized (or that changed trajectories, leaving unexplored possibilities), and carry on the tradition in my own weird way."
But away from his next project, will there be a sequel to Stardew Valley? "I would consider making a Stardew Valley 2 eventually... but not for a bit," he said.
If you loved Stardew Valley and want more of the same, here's Lauren's list of some other casual farming sims (opens in new tab) that will help you while away the hours.

Sign up for myFT Daily Digest and be the first to learn about mining news.
Sir Mick Davis, the former head of the mining group Xstrata, severed ties with Niron Metals, an investment vehicle he co-founded to develop large-scale iron deposits in Guinea.
According to documents from the company building, Davis, who was former chairman of Niron, ceased to serve as a director this month and no longer has “significant control” over the private company.
Davis is the former CEO of the Conservative Party known as “Miner Mick” and one of the most well-known figures in the industry. He served as the Chief Financial Officer of Billiton and the CEO of Xstrata until he was acquired by Glencore in 2013. .
After leaving Xstastra, he founded X2 Resources, a mining tool that received billions of dollars in promises from investors, but ultimately failed to reach a deal.
Niron was registered in the United Kingdom in 2018, and a year later, the mining group BSGR, controlled by the Beny Steinmetz family of Israeli diamond tycoons, requested the development of the Zogata iron deposit.
The agreement is a A broader agreement reached between BSGR and the government of Guinea This helped to end the long-standing disputes over mining rights in this resource-rich West African country. President Alpha Conte was overthrown in a coup this month.
According to people familiar with the matter, Davis’ decision to sever ties with Nylon was made before Conte was overthrown. They said that Davis already believes that Niron may take many years to ensure that Zogata’s iron ore enters the market, and he wants to focus on other projects.
Earlier this year, Davis launched a fund to invest in battery metals. The vehicle, called Vision Blue Resources, made its first investment in February and helped launch a $300 million special-purpose vehicle listed in New York.
Guinea has some of the highest grade iron ore in the world, including the huge Simandou deposit. But the country failed to use its natural resources.
A consortium backed by China has begun research 650km Trans-Guinean Railway This will connect Simandou and other potential mines with a deep-water port on the coast. However, this may take several years to complete.
Niron signed a memorandum of understanding in 2019 to transport its iron ore to Buchanan Port via the existing railway line used by ArcelorMittal through neighboring Liberia, which has idle capacity. Subsequently, it completed a feasibility study of the Zogota deposit handed over to the government of Guinea a year ago.
But the plan to export iron ore through Liberia is doubtful. ArcelorMittal and Monrovia recently announced a new mineral development agreement under which the steel manufacturer will triple the iron ore output of its Yekepa mine in Liberia, and invest additional investment 800 million US dollars.
Niron stated that it continues to “explore sustainable long-term logistics solutions to unlock the full potential of the Zogota project for the benefit of all stakeholders.”
“We thank Sir Mick for his valuable leadership and insight during Niron,” it said. “Sir Mick played an important role in the development of Niron and in promoting the reassessment of the potential of the Guinea iron ore industry. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
Niron’s other directors include Greek fund manager Marcos Camhis and De Beers former head of diamond trading Varda Shine.
