laura k at wmtc - 4 minutes ago
Earlier this year, I re-watched the original "Star Trek" series end-to-end
on Netflix - a thoroughly entertaining experience - then decided to watch "Star
Trek: The Next Generation" for the first time. It wasn't long before I was
completely hooked.
The show has a lot to recommend it: compelling story lines, mostly good
writing, progressive politics, and the brilliant acting of Patrick Stewart
meshed with the commanding character of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. I
especially appreciate how Star Trek TNG improved on the worldview of Star
Trek TOS. I remember reading about this when the sho... more »

I'm sure Maine's crackpot Gov. Paul LePage's expressed desire to blow up

While he was at photo op, manning a fighter jet simulator in the local
Pratt & Whitney factory, he told the crowd, "I want to find the Portland
Press Herald building and blow it up."
And if it was meant as an offhand remark, one wonders why he repeated it
twice:

My Father and the LFTR
Charles Barton at The Nuclear Green Revolution - 12 hours ago
A number of years ago I wrote several posts about my father's ORNL career,
including his contributions to Molten Salt Reactor chemistry. My father,
Dr. C.J. Barton, Sr., worked at ORNL from 1950 until his retirement in
1977. He also worked at Y-12 where he made an important contribution to
nuclear technology, namely the development of an industrial process for
separating Zirconium from Hafnium. Zirconium plays a major role in all
conventional reactors.
My study of my father's career lead me to an appreciation of his skills as

The wonderful Jeju Island artist Koh Gilchun has fallen down with a

past and present, is not impossible, so long as political pressure from the

Enrico Betti was an Italian mathematician and politician who was born in

He is most famous for a 1871 paper on topology that explained the Betti

How much is 1,000,000,000,000,000 yen worth? Well, a quadrillion yen is

It is such an astounding amount of debt that it is hard to even get your

Adding this to the fact that the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 now forbids additional taxpayer bailouts implies that when the big banks finally do fail, as they must, expect that they will stay alive by bailing-IN (confiscating their depositors' money a la Cyprus). Here Ellen Brown proposes “a safer, saner, more equitable model.” I sure hope struggling cities adopt it.

The Detroit Bail-In Template: Fleecing Pensioners to Save the Banks
Posted on August 5, 2013 by Ellen
Brown
Original here
The Detroit bankruptcy is looking suspiciously like the bail-in template
originated by the G20’s Financial Stability Board in 2011, which exploded
on the scene in Cyprus in 2013 and is now becoming the model globally. In
Cyprus, the depositors were “bailed in” (stripped of a major portion of
their deposits) to re-capitalize the banks. ... more »

What Is Sustainable at What Is Sustainable - 1 day ago
The naked wild boy lived on his own, scampering around the jungle between
Ahuachápan and Sonsonate, in El Salvador. Villagers had been aware of him
for a couple years, but efforts to catch him always failed. He was a
superb runner, swimmer, and tree climber. Folks called him Tarzancíto
(Little Tarzan). The lad lived on a diet of wild fruit and raw fish. He
slept up in the branches to avoid becoming a warm meal for hungry predators.
When a woodcutter finally captured him in 1933, the boy was about five
years old. You must understand that Tarzancíto was not, in any way,

Whose Point of View is it Anyway? (Part II)
Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 1 day ago
Well, it's been a very long time coming but...put out the flags, because
tonight's edition of Radio 4's weekly audio essay *A Point of View *featured
a speaker who comes from a *right*-of-centre political perspective, as
Professor Roger Scruton began his four-week series of talks about
democracy.
BBC Radio 4 listeners went through the entirety of 2010, 2011 and 2012
without a single right-wing speaker and, up till tonight, this year had
been going exactly the same way. Throughout this period there had, of
course, been many regular speakers from a *left*-of-centre political

War watch - August 7 , 2013 ..... Iraq daily death dealing and the Great Abu Gharib breakout ......Taliban biding their time in Afghanistan....... Yemen instability bodes poorly for stability in neighbor Saudia Arabia , do the Saudis believe by funding Al Qaeda influenced groups in syria that that gives them immunity from insurrection at home after the syrian battles are over ? Syria in focus as a huge massacre of Kurds by Al Qaeda influenced foreign mercenaries doesn't merit media attention for some reason.... ?

( Pentagon wants to sell 2.7 billion in weapons to Iraq - this despite
Iraq's PM Maliki being aligned with Iran and therefore aligned with
government of Syria - strange....)
The Pentagon is looking to bolster its military options for Syria's civil
war by sending $2.7 billion in weapons to Iraq, despite the country being on
the verge of civil war.
The weapons deal would include 681 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and 40
truck-mounted launchers, as well as three Hawk anti-aircraft batteries with

*"7 Reasons You Aren't As Smart As You Think You Are"*
by David McRaney
"Owning and operating a brain is hard. You are issued one at birth, a model
that comes riddled with delusions and biases, prone to logical fallacies,
and built to create stories to help explain the difficult and messy
business of being a person. It also comes with something else, a powerful
overconfidence module that works around the clock to keep you from noticing
all those shortcomings. Sure, you are capable of logic and reason and
rationality, but when you fall short of those ideals, you tend not to

Wonder how easy it is to still control the news? We're witnessing it daily,
bubbies. Minutely. Talk about out of his depth? This is even embarrassing
me. And Bradley Mannings' convictions? Heck, you'd have thought he got off

Swiss Inmates Going to Pot
The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 1 day ago
Swiss prisons have a marijuana problem and Swiss prison guards like it that
way.
*A recent study published in the International Journal of Drug Policy
estimates that 50 to 80 percent of inmates in Swiss prisons use marijuana.
Prison staff told researchers they found marijuana to be a relatively safe
drug and that cracking down on consumption would have more negative effects
than positive ones.*
*
**Surveys of detainees and guards revealed similar opinions on marijuana
use, with both groups describing the effects of marijuana as analgesic,
calming and a way to decrease the traumatic... more »
Debbie Wasserman Schultz-- Sugar And Spice And... Nothing Nice
DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 day ago
First Jewish Speaker? How about one who isn't steeped in corruption?
Want to know if your physician is competent? Has he asked you about your
sugar consumption? If he hasn't, find another doctor. Sugar contributes to
many of the maladies that most effect mankind, from cancer, diabetes and
heart disease to tooth decay and dementia. But the powerful sugar industry
is as willing to fight regulation as the tobacco industry was. And, like
the tobacco industry did, the sugar barons have plenty of powerful allies
(or, more accurately, bought-and-paid-for minions). Worst of the lot is the

Michael Voris: "Obama holds nothing sacred except that which is evil"...(video)

*brought to my attention by my blogger friend Dr. Jay Boyd who has much
more to say on this subject and some other good videos. Thanks, Dr Jay. *
From the following video:
But the same people who pretend to be the moralists and the high-minded
with regard to poverty and social justice are the same ones who were
working tirelessly to elect and
advance Obama.
Since the Church has sadly found itself so closely wedded to the culture,
who can doubt that as the culture disintegrates, it will not impact the
Church as well.
The Church upholds the family – the traditional family. Yet m... more »

Of Meteors and UFOs
The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 1 day ago
I saw a UFO last night, maybe a pair of them.
Vancouver Island has two seasons; wet (9 to 10-months) and, dry (2-3
months). The Pacific night sky holds a lot of fascination for me because
it's a virtual stranger for so much of the year.
Before turning in, I like to sit outside in my backyard for a stretch and
gaze upward into the night sky observing constellations, spotting
satellites and the occasional meteor. A couple of helpful apps make
deciphering the stars even easier.
Most satellites seem to travel on a south to north axis. Just before
packing it in last night I spott... more »
California Climate Changed
The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 1 day ago
The California Environmental Protection Agency has released a report
documenting how the state has already been "climate changed" and warning of
plenty more change on the way.
*The study, written by 51 scientists, tracked a variety of indicators and
found widespread evidence of the toll climate change is taking across the
across the state, including more frequent and intense wildfires, rising sea
levels, shrinking glaciers, warmer lakes and oceans, and hotter
temperatures. These ripple effects of these changes threaten communities,
industry, public health, and the state’s prized nat... more »
