Children of Undocumented Mexican Immigrants Have Heightened Risk of Behavior Problems
Children of undocumented Mexican immigrants have a significantly higher risk of behavior problems than their co-ethnic counterparts with documented or naturalized citizen mothers, according to a new study.
The difficulties come in two forms: sadness or social withdrawal — what the authors refer to as internalizing behavior problems — and issues such as aggressiveness towards others — which the authors call externalizing behavior problems.
Religious Attendance and the Mobility Trajectories of Older Mexican Americans: An Application of the Growth Mixture Model
Although several studies have examined the association between religious involvement and physical functioning, there is no consistent empirical evidence concerning the true nature of the association. The Hispanic population is also surprisingly understudied in previous work. In this article, we employ seven waves of data from the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly to examine the association between religious attendance and performance-based mobility trajectories among older Mexican Americans.
Health Assimilation among Hispanic Immigrants in the United States: The Impact of Ignoring Arrival-cohort Effects
A large literature has documented that Hispanic immigrants have a health advantage over their U.S.-born counterparts upon arrival in the United States. Few studies, however, have disentangled the effects of immigrants' arrival cohort from their tenure of U.S. residence, an omission that could produce imprecise estimates of the degree of health decline experienced by Hispanic immigrants as their U.S. tenure increases.
A Design and a Model for Investigating the Heterogeneity of Context Effects in Public Opinion Surveys
Context effects on survey response, caused by the unobserved interaction between beliefs stored in personal memory and triggers generated by the structure of the survey instrument, are a pervasive challenge to survey research. The authors argue that randomized survey experiments on representative samples, when paired with facilitative primes, can enable researchers to model selection into variable context effects, revealing heterogeneity at the population level.
Inhabiting Latino Politics: How Colleges Shape Students' Political Styles
To comply with ideals of multiculturalism and diversity, postsecondary institutions incorporate Latino students into distinct campus cultures. These cultures influence how students interact with one another, the university community at large, and communities outside of campus, ultimately shaping how students inhabit Latino politics. Drawing on data from 20 months of ethnographic fieldwork with six student organizations and 60 in-depth interviews, I compare Latino student organizations in a liberal arts college, a research university, and a regional public university.

How to Prevent Hair Loss With Lamictal
Written by Erin Beck
Case reports and anecdotal reports suggest that Lamictal may contribute to hair loss in some people, but studies need to be done to prove a connection 1. Lamictal is an anticonvulsant, a type of drug used to treat epilepsy or bipolar disorder 1.
Consider other possible causes. Hair loss can be caused by heredity, skin conditions including lupus erythematosus or lichen planus, emotional distress or excessive hairstyling, according to the Mayo Clinic. It can also result from poor nutrition, diabetes, lupus, hormonal changes, hair treatments, scalp infection, trichotillomania and taking taking certain drugs including birth control pills and medications used to treat gout, arthritis, depression, heart problems and high blood pressure.
Talk to your doctor. Bring up other possible causes for your hair loss that you've considered and decide together whether Lamictal is the likely cause for your hair loss 12.
Decide with your doctor what alternate medication you will take to treat your epilepsy or bipolar disorder.
Do not quit taking Lamictal abruptly, due to a risk of seizure. Follow your health care provider's advice for gradually discontinuing Lamictal.
Lamictal can cause a serious rash in some people that requires hospitalization. If you notice signs of a rash while taking Lamictal, immediately call your health care provider.

the Premiere of Sir Billi
Sir Billi
"He's the man that we need When we're scared He's our guardian we believe ..." ~ Guardian of the Highlands, Patrick Doyle, 2013
Released as "Sir Billi" in the United States at the Sonoma International Film Festival and as "Guardian of the Highlands" elsewhere, Scotland's first animated CGI feature film involves an old, skateboarding veterinarian, Sir Billi, (voiced by Sean Connery) who goes above and beyond the call of responsibility fighting villainous policemen and strong lairds in a war to save an illegal fugitive—Bessie Boo the beaver! The film's title song was performed by Shirley Bassey, reuniting her linkage with Sean Connery in terms of Bond film theme songs. Both she and Sean Connery appeared in gown and kilt in this tartan at the film's premiere.
Sir Billi is a 2012 British computer animated adventure comedy feature film. Directed by Sascha Hartmann, the film stars the voices of Christopher Alexander, John Amabile, Sean Connery, Alan Cumming, Patrick Doyle and Kieron Elliott.
The film was Scotland's first CGI animated feature film. It was also the final acting role for Sean Connery, who announced his retirement from the motion picture industry after working on the film.
Sir Billi is an adventure about the race to save the last beaver in Scotland, led by Sir Billi; veterinarian by profession, skateboarder by passion, and grandfather by love.
The film was released in the United States this week in 2012 under the alternate title Guardian of the Highlands, which is also the name of the film's title song, sung by Dame Shirley Bassey.
This tartan has been faithfully copied and interpreted from Sir Billi's trousers by Fiona Hall of Lochcarron's design department.
From the official register:
After over 3 years of development, fund raising and unrelenting determination, independent producers and creators from Glasgow Animation Ltd, have joined forces with Sir Sean Connery to form 'Billi Productions Ltd', which will produce Connery's first ever voice over role for an animated short feature film. Entitled 'Sir Billi the Vet' and due for completion early next summer, the short feature stars Sir Sean Connery in the lead role, with Tony award winner Alan Cumming co-starring and musical score by Oscar nominated composer and fellow Scot Patrick Doyle. Other voiceovers are provided by high profile actors such as Miriam Margolyes. Richard Briers, Ruby Wax and more. Sascha and Tessa Hartmann, the Scottish based husband and wife team / co-creators from Glasgow Animation fought to bring 'Sir Billi the Vet' to life for years. What began as an illustrated idea in black and white by Sascha Hartmann, has grown into a potentially very exciting animated property, which has been revealed with exclusive 'first look' imagery from the project. This tartan has been faithfully copied and interpreted from Sir Billi's trousers by Fiona Hall of Lochcarron's design department. Created from Sir Billi's tartan overalls.

In 2004, when the Dover, Penn., school board voted to require biology classes to use a supplemental textbook that promoted the theory of intelligent design rather than evolution, the conflict that erupted was about far more than semantics. As Edward Humes describes in this lively and thoughtful book, Dover -- like Dayton, Tenn., during the 1925 Scopes "Monkey Trial" -- became a proving ground for clashing beliefs about the origins of life and constitutional questions about the separation of church and state.
"The scientific community sees the creationist critics of evolution as yahoos, religious zealots, and scientifically suspect charlatans," writes Humes. "The creationists see the evolutionists as immoral and dishonest purveyors of a pseudoreligion called Darwinism that makes God superfluous." Each side is guilty of misrepresenting the other. In Dover, the people on each side believed those on the other were attempting to indoctrinate their children. And everyone soon realized that this local controversy had national implications.
Humes takes the title of his book, Monkey Girl, from the taunt leveled at a child whose mother objected to the new policy. Some parents, including teachers in the school district, viewed intelligent design as a stealth form of creation science. Although many of these parents were Christians (two even taught Sunday school), they felt that teaching ID in a public school classroom improperly injected religion into education. They brought their case, Kitzmiller et al. v. Dover Area School District, with the aid of the ACLU, the National Center for Science Education and lawyers from the Philadelphia firm Pepper Hamilton.
Judge John E. Jones III, a Republican, emerges as the hero in Humes's tale. In his eloquent ruling for the plaintiffs, which should be read by every student of law, he noted, "This case came to us as the result of the activism of an ill-informed faction on a school board, aided by a national public interest law firm eager to find a constitutional test case on ID, who in combination drove the Board to adopt an imprudent and ultimately unconstitutional policy." Even before Jones issued his ruling, the citizens of Dover reached their own verdict: In the next school board election, "every one of the eight incumbents who favored intelligent design was ousted," Humes writes.

Ло́ша () — река в Узденском и Копыльском районах Минской области Белоруссии, левый приток Немана.

Длина реки — 42 км. Площадь водосборного бассейна — 830 км². Расход воды в устье 4,4 м³/с. Средний наклон водной поверхности 0,7 ‰. Высота устья — 157,2 м над уровнем моря.

Начинается возле деревни  Узденского района, впадает в Неман возле деревни . Притоки: река Выня и сеть мелиоративных каналов. На реке между деревнями Лоша, Кривели, Боровые, Сеножатки создано Лошанское водохранилище.

Происхождение названия
Согласно М. Фасмеру, название реки Лоша происходит от славянского лоший «дурной, плохой», и возможно означает «Злая (река)». По мнению А. И. Соболевского, название Лоша восходит к Лошья, от «лось». В. Н. Топоров и О. Н. Трубачев считают, что название балтского происхождения и предлагают возможность истолкования от лит. lašiša «лосось». По мнению В. П. Лемтюговой, гидронимическое окончание -ша в названии Лоша имеет смысл «вода, река». Согласно еще одной версии гидроним Лоша объясняется от финно-угорского слова лос — «влажная низина».

Health economic evaluations support the health care decision-making process by providing information on costs and consequences of health interventions. The quality of such studies is assessed by health economic evaluation (HEE) quality appraisal instruments. At present, there is no instrument for measuring and improving the quality of such HEE quality appraisal instruments. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to establish a framework for assessing the quality of HEE quality appraisal instruments to support and improve their quality, and to apply this framework to those HEE quality appraisal instruments which have been subject to more scrutiny than others, in order to test the framework and to demonstrate the shortcomings of existing HEE quality appraisal instruments.
To develop the quality assessment framework for HEE quality appraisal instruments, the experiences of using appraisal tools for clinical guidelines are used. Based on a deductive iterative process, clinical guideline appraisal instruments identified through literature search are reviewed, consolidated, and adapted to produce the final quality assessment framework for HEE quality appraisal instruments.
The final quality assessment framework for HEE quality appraisal instruments consists of 36 items organized within 7 dimensions, each of which captures a specific domain of quality. Applying the quality assessment framework to four existing HEE quality appraisal instruments, it is found that these four quality appraisal instruments are of variable quality.
The framework described in this study should be regarded as a starting point for appraising the quality of HEE quality appraisal instruments. This framework can be used by HEE quality appraisal instrument producers to support and improve the quality and acceptance of existing and future HEE quality appraisal instruments. By applying this framework, users of HEE quality appraisal instruments can become aware of methodological deficiencies inherent in existing HEE quality appraisal instruments. These shortcomings of existing HEE quality appraisal instruments are illustrated by the pilot test.

Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco's #1 destination aims to provide visitors with good food, good fun and good views. Sometimes, all three are found in the same place. First of all, visitors need to find Fisherman's Wharf, and that's means even more fun getting here on the historic F Market Streetcar or on the Powell-Hyde or the Powell-Mason Cable Cars. Welcome to one California's busiest places, where it's more than just a wharf jutting out into San Francisco's sparkling bay. it's a whole neighborhood full of fun things to do.
In order to understand why Fisherman's Wharf is here, look no further than the famous Dungeness crab for the answer. It's hard to miss the big Fisherman's Wharf welcome sign featuring a crab emblazoned on a ship's steering wheel. Visitors who come any time between November and June will find that it's crab season in Northern California's coastal waters. Of course, back around 1850 when gold nuggets and San Francisco came face-to-face, prospecting miners changed everything in the City by the Bay. But, Italian fisherman knew they'd bring big appetites and they knew what good fishing was all about. They came here to find another kind of gold.
Several generations later, famous Fisherman's Wharf seafood restaurants are still serving up the best tried-and-tested recipes. Some, like Castagnola's, have been named after the family's fresh fish market stalls of a century ago. Cioppino's restaurant has named itself for the popular, tasty traditional seafood stew that was conceived by fishermen on these docks 100 years ago. In addition to the Dungeness crab now served in dozens of ways, a well-known longtime specialty is clam chowder presented in an edible sourdough bread bowl.
And, did we mention the great views?
Fun ranks high along with food and drink, and there's no shortage at Fisherman's Wharf. Grownups and children alike love the authentic, antique game arcade at the Musée Mecanique as much as they love the totally unreal figures at Madame Tussauds, the unbelievable at Ripley's Believe It or Not! and the just plain old scary stuff at The San Francisco Dungeon.
There's tons to do at Fisherman's Wharf, so wake up early to see the sea lions frolicking at the end of Pier 39, ride the antique carousel and visit 20,000 marine amazing animals at the Aquarium of the Bay. Shop at Anchorage Square and grab a bite...absolutely everywhere.
Have a look around on wheels with a Segway for a fully guided electric tour, get a guided GPS Go Car. Rent a bike from Blazing Saddles or Bay City Bike to ride across the Golden Gate Bridge with a return from Sausalito on one of the world's best ferry rides. Go tandem, go electric, go hybrid, go off-road, go with a guide or go it alone.
It's great to get on the water. Catch a leisurely Blue & Gold Bay Cruise or a high-speed adventure on the Rocket Boat. Make a date for a Hornblower dinner cruise. Take a Red and White Fleet sightseeing adventure under two bridges and around Alcatraz Island, or go right onto The Rock for a look inside the prison walls with an Alcatraz Package ferry ride and cell block audio tour.
It might be a good idea to pack some chocolate bars for all those tours. We just happen to know of one called Ghirardelli.
Ghirardelli Chocolate was the world's largest chocolate factory in 1893. Illuminated letters added in 1923 that spell out the name are 15 feet tall so that sailors could see them when returning from the sea.
Visitors can explore eight historic sailing vessels at Hyde Street Pier and put their toes in the water at a real, sandy beach at the Maritime National Historical Park.
According to San Francisco Travel, more than 75 percent of the city's 17 million annual visitors to come to Fisherman's Wharf during their stays.
The distance from Fisherman's Wharf to Alcatraz Island is 1.5 miles.
Members of the Dolphin Club, established 1877, are called polar bears because they regularly swim in the challenging San Francisco Bay waters, all through the winter.

Malu Trevejo Joins Forces with Gente de Zona for New Single – "Nadie Como Yo"
rockyourlyrics October 9, 2018 0 views
Fifteen-year old Cuban-born, Miami-based singer, artist and dancer Malu Trevejo is turning up the heat with a brand new, bilingual single that sees the multi-platinum powerhouse teaming up with Cuban reggaeton superstars Gente de Zona. "Nadie Como Yo" (PRESS HERE to stream/download), out now via BMG, is a pulsing, infectious dance-floor ready track with a bright and vibrant video to match.
"Nadie Como Yo" translates to "There's no one like me" and it's something of a personal theme song for Malu. She hopes it will become the same for her fans. She dedicates the perseverance anthem to her legion of more than 8 million loyal social media followers from around the world who have watched her effortlessly push boundaries and transcend genres and cultures.
Malu credits everything to personal strength earned by triumph in the face of trials and tribulations. Born in Cuba and raised in Spain, she moved to Miami with her mother at just twelve years old following her parents' separation. Noticeably skinny for her age and faced with the demand to rapidly learn and speak English, American school provided a new set of challenges for her as she endured relentless bullying online and in real life for her low weight and thick accent. Allowing her haters to become her motivators, not only did Malu teach herself English, she utilized social media to express her biggest passion: music and performing. She released a string of videos on Music.ly which quickly went viral, garnering millions of followers. After teaming up with Miami based management firm, "THE Group," Malu's breakout debut 2017 single "Luna Llena" skyrocketed to instant success, amassing over 70 million views, achieved RIAA Latin Platinum status, and reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Top Latin Songs chart. "Luna Llena" would be the first of several singles to rack up millions of views and streams, including her feature on HRVY's "Hasta Luego," leading her to become a live force with concerts around the globe.
"Everything I went through made me strong," says Malu. "I'm the person I am right now because of it."
About Gente De Zona
As the first Cuban-based musical act to ever top Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart, Gente De Zona, the duo consisting of Randy Malcom and Alexander Delgado, pioneered the "Cubaton" movement that is now one of the dominating forces in the global musical landscape. Malcom and Delgado first came to international attention with their 2014 hit "Bailando" alongside Enrique Iglesias and Descemer Bueno. The track not only topped Billboard's Hot Latin Songs Chart but served as the longest-running No. 1 in the history of the chart at that time. With an array of chart topping-singles like "La Gozadera" featuring Marc Anthony or "Ni Tu Ni Yo" with Jennifer Lopez, the Latin Grammy and American Music Award winning artists have won numerous Premios Juventud and Premios Tu Mundo Awards for their musical excellence. Just last year they performed their first ever U.S. tour and signed to Sony Music Latin and continues writing their history in music under the guidance and representation of March Anthony's Magnus Media. This summer, they shared their latest single "Te Duele" to rave reviews and will playing stages around the world throughout 2018.

On Why the Climate Models Were So Inaccurate
It was because they were based on two equally erroneous assumptions; a) that the climate is inherently stable and b) that the major driver of climate change is CO2 - assumptions that even a second year earth science student should have been able to detect were absurd but which the well-connected ruling class utterly failed to.

On the Sordid Donald Sterling Saga
Yes, he's unquestionably an asshole. But I am just am much disturbed by the fact that somebody taped him without his knowledge and in his own home. These were private conversations, people, and do you really think that somebody like Al Sharpton would fare significantly better if we were to bug his home. I mean, he's already uttered such despicable statements as "Greek homos", "Chinamen, "white interlopers", "crackers", and "niggers" (part of a slanderous rant against David Dinkins), and that was when he wanted to be heard. Can you even begin to imagine this dude's innermost thoughts?
Three Strikes and You're Out There - Way, WAY, Out There - Addendum
Let me repeat the basic point one more time. Those climate predictions which were made by James Hansen and Ben Santer in the early '90s haven't just proven to be a little wrong. THEY WERE AS WRONG AS WRONG CAN BE (the actual temperatures having been lower than even what they predicted with a draconian decrease in CO2, and neither is there a hot spot). Please, PLEASE, give me one logical reason as to why we should continue to give these people (who have also been proven over and over again to be dishonest) credence. It makes no sense............................................................................................And think about it for a minute. If you were to accidentally swallow some poison and/or fall prey to an infection or parasite, are there properties in your body which would make these invading agents worse, or are there properties in your body which would mediate the effects? Of course it the latter, right (mucus, inflammation, excretion, an elevation in temperature, etc.)? Well, that is how the earth is also (i.e., a natural system) and why it has been proven (via a measuring of outgoing radiation) fairly categorically that the feedbacks pertaining to increases in CO2 have not been positive (as the alamists have predicted) BUT NEGATIVE. I mean, it's common sense, for Christ..............................................................................................P.S. And even if what these individuals have been saying IS true, it would be far, FAR, less expensive to to adapt to these changes than it ever would be to prevent them (using THEIR data I conservatively estimate it to be 27:1) - if in fact we could prevent them (the fact that even if we were able to drastically reduce OUR carbon footprint, China, Brazil, India, and the rest of the developing world unquestionably would not).

According to a book by the OECD from 2003 entitled, "The Sources of Growth in OECD Countries", privately funded R&D has a powerful and positive effect on economic growth while publicly funded R&D has virtually no impact at all and, if anything, tends to crowd out the private funding......................................................................................And if that isn't bad enough for you, neither does there seem to exist any historical data to support this whole notion that the the government MUST support science (an assertion that even the likes of Milton Friedman have allegedly made). Case in point, England and the United States. From 1800 to 1900, England was the wealthiest country on the planet (with the most in terms of scientific breakthroughs) and they had virtually ZERO government expenditures on science. Ditto the U.S. in the early parts of the 20th Century in that even as late as 1940, over 80% of American R&D was private.....................................................................................So, with all of this evidence that government science is essentially wasteful, even counter-productive, why do we continue to piss away valuable resources on it? I don't know, probably for the same exact reasons that we continue to waste money in other regards; cronyism, the inexorable growth of bureaucracy (where a program's success is gauged by its size, not by its thrift), etc........That and, well, because we can.
The Man Who Beat Floyd Mayweather
While I may not be as big a boxing fan I used to be, I still follow it to the extent that I can tell you two important things. a) Jose Luis Castillo is one of the finest boxers of his generation (yeah, he's stuck around a little too long but they all do) and b) the dude walloped Floyd Mayweather in their first encounter back in 2002. I make this claim in that not only was Castillo the aggressor throughout the fight, he landed (per Compubox) 107 more power punches (173 to 66) and even connected with a higher percentage (40% to 35%) than Floyd did. Of course, the biggest indicator that this was a shitty decision (yes, Mayweather was awarded the decision) was probably the fact that the Las Vegas (Floyd Mayweather's home town) crowd even booed the thing. Now that is bad.
Three Strikes and You're Out There - Way, WAY, Out There
If a scientist is judged based upon his or her predictions, then the global warming cabal of individuals such as James Hansen, Phil Jones, and Kenneth Trenberth has to be ranked at or near the bottom. Back in the '90s these folks made three separate predictions pertaining to temperature; one with a zero decrease in carbon emissions, one with a moderate decrease in carbon emissions, and one with a draconian decrease in carbon emissions......and as we're all painfully aware of by now, the actual temperature recordings have been slightly BELOW even those predictions with a draconian decrease in carbon emissions......................................................................................And what of course makes this failure all the more disturbing is the fact that, instead of just admitting that they were wrong and adjusting their theory, THEY FRIGGING DOUBLED DOWN...and tortured not just the current data but a lot of the readings from the '30s, '40s, and '50s. To even attempt to assert that these lunatics are actual scientists is a joke (and, yes, thank the good Lord for folks like Judith Curry, James Lovelock, and David Evans who in fact HAVE seen the problems and who have adjusted their thinking, not the data).

On the Assertion by a Certain Leftist Bozo that I Lack an Open Mind
I have an open mind, alright. I've just gone in the other direction (from a Blue-Dog Democrat to a small l libertarian - and, yes, I'm aware of the limitations of labels and that is exactly why I've endorsed the No Labels movement, Simpson-Bowles, and various other nonpartisan initiatives) and that's what really bothers him, I'm thinking..................................................................................And I also have to ask you here, is there anything sadder on this planet than a fair to middlin' mind (astute observer of the obvious) who constantly tries to act so scholarly, pontificating, recondite, etc.? I mean, I know that it can in fact be amusing and for that it does have SOME value (in the form of comic relief) but for the person involved, I'm saying - sad.
On Progressive Bloggers, From My Experience
They are very litmus-test oriented; the fact that you could actually agree with them 50-60% of the time and they will still always, ALWAYS, focus completely and with great fervor (Ahab and Javert ain't got nothin' on these people) on the 40-50% of the time that you don't. To say that these people are dogmatic is as complimentary as I can be and I thank you for patience.
On Cowboy Junkies
They're good (enjoy the cover of Lou Reed's, "Sweet Jane") but I can't seem to get the words, heroine music (that eerie harmonica sound, especially), out of my noggin.

I prefer to call it, "The War Street Journal".......And don't you just want to slap that Bret Stephens? Seriously (always calling for war, a young fellow like that, but never once volunteering his own services)?
On Industrialist, James J. Hill
I consider this fellow one of the great North American heroes of the 19th Century, in that not only did he construct a transcontinental railroad, he did it a) without a dime of government largess and b) without slaughtering a single Native-American. Compare that to the crony capitalists in both business and government who gave us the Union Pacific and the way that those folks bled the treasury dry, ripped off their customers, and essentially exterminated the plains Indians and, yeah, the achievement is even more remarkable. Give it up, folks.
On Actress, Teri Polo (Of "Meet the Parents" Fame)
I'm probably going to go with, not too shabby, on this one, folks.
Another Gem from "Bully Boy"
"I suppose I should be ashamed to say that take the Western view of the Indian. I don't go as far as to think that the only good Indian is a dead Indian, but I do believe nine out of every ten are, and I shouldn't like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth." Teddy Roosevelt, 1886.............Yeah, he was a product of his time, but the way that the dude framed that first sentence is telling, I think.
Paving the Way/The Only Good Indian...
S.L.A. Marshall was one of the most famous combat historians and journalists in American history and, while his methodology on "ratio to fire" has been called into question by some, his 30 plus years of experience still has to count for something. And so when Mr. Marshall once referred to the orders of Generals William Tecumseh Sherman and Philip Henry Sheridan as they pertained to the government's war on the plains Indians as "the most brutal orders ever to American troops", I have a tendency to believe the guy......................................................................................Not that this harsh assessment should come as any surprise, of course, in that these were the same exact war criminals who perpetrated the same exact atrocities on southern civilians (AND SLAVES) all throughout the Civil War and whose barbarism set the stage for future conflicts in which protocol was essentially destroyed (the Philippine War, the Boer War, WW1, WW2, Vietnam, etc.)....But these are the good guys, though.
On the Owing of Money to the Federal Government
Thousands of IRS employees owe money to the federal government and they get bonuses. This Bundy fellow (who I actually DON'T consider a hero, btw) owes money to the federal government and he gets his property destroyed, his cattle stolen, and a bevy of federal agents/snipers pointing rifles at his head. To say that there's a double-standard here is exceedingly obvious and probably a bone of contention, too, I would think.
More Trouble in Rushmoreville?
It's not a stretch to say that Mr. Roosevelt was one of the founding fathers of American Imperialism. As Vice President and later as President, he got us involved in a three year long occupation of the Philippines in which upwards of 200,000 mostly innocent men, women, and children were slaughtered. It was easily one of the most horrible episodes in U.S. history and in order to justify it, TR of course fell back upon the same type of virulent racism that characterized many from the early progressive movement. He claimed specifically that these Filipinos were little more than "savages, half-breeds, and a wild and ignorant people" and that they obviously needed to be civilized. To say that this fellow was racist just about sums it up, folks.

Domestic Imbecile?
Sorry, but I gotta vote, yes, on this one. The very same shlupp who went out of his way to NOT call the Fort Hood shooting, terrorism (and instead referred to it as, "workplace violence"), and who was as quiet as a church-mouse when the Occupy movement was vandalizing Oakland, defecating in Zuccotti Park, and blocking off traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge now suddenly has the balls to get tough on people? Yeah, I don't think so.........................................................................................P.S. And for anybody out there who thinks that I'm being partisan about this, I said the same exact thing about Michele Bachman and Louie Gohmert when those two clowns went after Huma Abedin and referred to her as a terrorist. It's called having a consistent moral yardstick, people.
Millions Wise, Millions More Foolish
According to BLM spokesperson, Kirsten Cannon, the federal government has dished out $966,000 (paid to a contractor) to round up this Bundy fellow's cattle. This, in response to the fact that said Bundy supposedly owes them $1,000,000 (and I would really love to see an itemized bill on that one - a million dollars for grass?). Please, tell me that I'm not the only individual who sees an absurdity here.................................................................................P.S. And, no, this doesn't even begin to take into account all of the other expenses (transportation, overtime to the agents, etc.) that this operation is costing us, the taxpayers. I would certainly love to see an itemized bill there as well.
On the Assertion that Fossil Fuels are Bad
It makes me sick in that if it wasn't for cheap and abundant fossil fuels we'd still all be living in squalor and dying off before the age of 40. The fact of the matter here is that electricity = modernity = prosperity and the sight of all of these radical environmentalists who are literally against anything that works (fossil fuels, nuclear, and hydro) but who themselves have benefited handsomely not simply from fossil fuels (preaching from the confines of their air-conditioned offices) but from minerals (they apparently think that all of these cell-phones and computers simply drop out of the sky) taken from the very mines that they're also against makes it even more nauseating. I mean, talk about a virulent, spoiled bunch of lunatics.
Clearing the Field, Emptying the Bank
The estate tax is so nasty in Rhode Island that a large chunk of its over 65 population is moving out of the state. But before you just assume here that this is some short-sighted strategy that essentially defeats the whole purpose, think again. Some people/Rhode Islanders (and, yeah, it might be a trifle paranoiac in that it seemingly gives these idiotic politicians a little too much credit) think that this is exactly what the politicians are trying to do. The thinking here is that with a lot of these successful retirees moving out, so, too, the possible competition for key political posts and the same old shlupps and bozos can keep on getting elected. It's brilliant! If true.
Apples and Apples and Clams and Clams
Several years ago I came up with a tax proposal in which the top rate was 40% (that, in addition to an elimination of the special exemption for capital gains, I had put forth as a viable offset for the total elimination of the corporate income tax). You do realize here, don't you, that that rate was based upon the current tax structure and that my more recent proposal of a top tax rate of 25% is based upon significant tax reform in which I essentially get rid of ALL deductions and loopholes and so that of course those rates will be lower? I mean, I know that most of you are astute enough to have realized this already but, you know. YOU KNOW.

It took over two months but UCF football coach, George O'Leary, finally got his first "verbal" for 2015, and it's a Jim-dandy. Cameron Stewart is a 6'3" 190 pound wide receiver (Shiloh High in Snellville Georgia) who can run like the wind, has excellent hands, and who can also take a pop going over the middle. And being that UCF just graduated a large chunk of their receiving core from last year's Fiesta Bowl championship squad, this kid will probably get on the field in a hurry....George O'Leary - striking it rich in rural Georgia, yet again!

Powerful Circumstantial Evidence
There were numerous economic downturns, recessions, and depressions prior to the Great Depression of 1929, and each of these episodes not only self-corrected but they did so in a relatively short period of time. It was only during the depression of 1929, when the government significantly interfered (Hoover with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Smoot-Hawley, wage supports, Davis-Bacon, etc. and FDR with the AAA, the NRA, unit baking laws, etc.) that a downturn lasted as long as it did - 16 years (yes, I include the war years because if you disaggregate the GDP you'll quickly see that the public sector was still extremely poor off; shortages, etc.).......................................................................................Look, I'm not necessarily saying that we can draw anything definitive here (we are, after all, talking about correlations). But you have to know that if the results were the exact opposite, that if every economic downturn prior to 1929 was a long and protracted one and that in 1929 we bounced back rapidly due to the wondrous actions of Hoover and FDR, YOU KNOW, all of those hard-core Keynesians, economically illiterate progressives, etc. would be strutting and reminding us CONSTANTLY....................................................................................My personal view here is that the economy has extraordinary recuperative power of its own and that if the government does want to intervene, the best and least harmful way to do it would be to deal with the citizens directly (a negative income tax, health savings accounts, etc.) and steer clear of the damned market.
A Devastating Indictment on the Policies of Hamilton, Clay, and Lincoln (The Holy Trinity of Crony Capitalism),
"Henry Clay was the champion of that political system which doles favors to the strong in order to win and to keep their adherence to the government. His system offers shelter to devious schemes and corrupt enterprises.......He was the beloved son (figuratively speaking) of Alexander Hamilton with his corrupt funding schemes, his superstitions concerning the advantage of a public debt, and a people taxed to make profits for enterprises that cannot stand alone. His example and his doctrines led to the creation of a party that had no platform to announce, because its principles were plunder and nothing else." Edgar Lee Masters, "Lincoln the Man", 1931.

The Ugly Side of Benevolence
According to Congressman, Paul Ryan, there are currently more than 90 federal poverty programs (many of them overlapping) that the government is ""administering" (mismanaging, is probably a better term). I propose that we do away with all of them and replace them with two; a beefed-up Earned Income Tax Credit (which I would administer monthly rather than in one lump sum) and subsidized health savings accounts supplemented with a high deductible catastrophic policy. You see, that way we could continue to help poor people but we'd be doing it in a manner that is far less bureaucratic and far more empowering to the individuals. That, and, since the patient himself would be the one in charge of these expenditures, the cost of overall healthcare would probably come down (much like it has for lasik eye surgery, full body scans, nose jobs, hair transplants, etc. - the fact that people would take better care of themselves, not go to the doctor for small things, shop around, etc.) as well.........................................................................................Of course, this type of approach wouldn't make the bureaucrats and paper-pushers down in Washington very happy in that it would radically reduce their power over the citizens and taxpayers. But that's a major-league positive side-effect, in my opinion.

From the Keyboards of Some Honest "Warmists"
"So far, no one has been able to provide a compelling answer to why climate change seems to be taking a break. We're facing a puzzle." Hans von Storch, climatologist, University of Hamburg............."This (the fact that there hasn't been warming for going on 17 years now and if anything it's actually been cooling) changes everything. Global warming should no longer be the main determinant of economic or energy policy." David Whitehouse, astrophysicist, The Global Warming Policy Foundation............."The problem is we don't know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books – mine included – because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn't happened.......The climate is doing its usual tricks. There's nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world by now." James Lovelock, independent scientist and environmentalist.

As the Evidence Changes, So Must We
Judith Curry is a climatologist at Georgia Tech. Robert Austin is a physicist at Princeton. Freeman Dyson is a former physicist at Princeton (and one of the most active minds of the 20th Century). David Evans is a former climate modeler (with a PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford) for the Australian government and a former member of Greenpeace. Paul Driessen is an energy and environmental expert (with degrees in geology, ecology, and law) and a former member of the Sierra Club. Bruno Wiskel is a geologist at the University of Alberta. Nir Shaviv is an astrophysicist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Reid Bryson is a meteorologist at the University of Wisconsin. Ian Clark is a paleoclimatologist at the University of Ottawa. Jan Veizer is an environmental geochemist at the University of Ottawa. Klaus Eckart Puls is one of the leading researchers, physicists, and meteorologists in Germany. What do these folks have in common? They were all strident believers in man-made global warming and now, because they've fully examined the evidence (the fact that the predictions from the models were ridiculously off, the fact that the feedbacks now seem to be negative, the fact that the ARGO buoys are currently showing zero ocean warming, the fact that tropical storms have not not increasing, etc.) THEY ARE NOT. It's good to see that there are still a few honest scientists left.
Garbage In....
Dr. Max Gammon is a British physician and researcher who did a study on the British national health care system in the '70s and his results were quite disheartening. From 1965 to 1973, he found that hospital staffing went up by 28%, that administrative staffing went up by 41%, but that the outcomes, as measured by the average number of beds per day, actually WENT DOWN by 11%. He also pointed out that this reduction in outputs had absolutely nothing to do with a reduction in demand (as was markedly evident by a huge increase in wait times)..............................................................................Gammon's theory as to why this was happening was something that he ultimately referred to as the Theory of Bureaucratic Displacement (a theory that received additional notoriety in large part thanks to Milton Friedman's bringing Gammon's theory to the fore); the more that an organization institutes inputs (especially if these are hierarchical), the more that the outputs go down. Friedman kind of saw it as an extension of Parkinson's Law (and I concur) and damned if it doesn't go a long way in explaining just exactly why governments and larger businesses tend to fail so much (the former obviously failing more so in that those folks aren't spending their own cash).

James Hansen, former head of NASA, liar, data fudger, and global warming nut.............3) In 1979, Jimmy Carter (who I've never considered a zealot as President) appointed a fellow by the name of Dennis Hayes to be the head of the Department of Energy's Solar Energy Research Institute and this fellow immediately predicted that by 2000, the U.S. would be getting 50% of its total energy needs from solar power. Yeah, I would say that the dude was a little bit off on that one (it's 2013 and we still only get about 2 tenths of 1% from solar).

America's Most Bigoted President?
Wow, that's a tough one but I'm probably going to have to go with Millard Fillmore. As President, he strongly supported slavery into the territories and was also one of the major drivers of the Fugitive Slave Act....And his bigotry didn't end when he left the Presidency (it was actually just getting started) in that he was one of the "founding fathers" of the Know Nothing movement of the 1850s that was virulently anti-Irish, virulently anti-German, and virulently anti-Catholic, and which also essentially advocated an end to all immigration (except of course from England). I mean, I know that it's a hard thing to vote against a dude like Andrew Jackson who was a) one of the largest slave-owners in the entire Southeast and b) a practitioner of ethnic cleansing pertaining to the Native-Americans (or even a Woodrow Wilson who advocated eugenics and segregated the federal work force and U.S. military) but at least for now I'm probably going to stick with old Millard.......That, and doesn't he kind of look like Alec Baldwin?
Yeah, But He Didn't Lie About Cutting Down the Tree
According to Andrew Napolitano's book, "Lies the Government Told You", not only was George Washington a slave-holder, he was an active and virulent one. According to Napolitano, Washington whipped his slaves, cut their toes off, and even had some of their teeth extracted and implanted into his own mouth. He also auctioned off the slaves of his debtors and while in office rotated his slaves in and out of Philadelphia because in Pennsylvania slaves by law had to be released after six consecutive months of bondage. This is all pretty hairy stuff and while I haven't been able to substantiate all of it, even if some of it is true, damned if it doesn't go a significant way in substantiating BB's claim (to which I totally concur) that all of these dudes had their fair share of warts for certain.

They Shot the Tariff
And while the tariff issue wasn't as prominent in the South, it did in fact play some role. Robert Toombs of Georgia, for instance, called the Morill Tariff, "the most atrocious tariff bill that was ever enacted" and Richard Barnwell Rhett of South Carolina put forth this tour de force just prior to secession; "And so with the Southern States, towards the Northern States, in the vital matter of taxation. They are in a minority in Congress. Their representation in Congress, is useless to protect them against unjust taxation; and they are taxed by the people of the North for their benefit, exactly as the people of Great Britain taxed our ancestors in the British parliament for their benefit. For the last forty years, the taxes laid by the Congress of the United States have been laid with a view of subserving the interests of the North. The people of the South have been taxed by duties on imports, not for revenue, but for an object inconsistent with revenue— to promote, by prohibitions, Northern interests in the productions of their mines and manufactures.".....................................................................................I would also put forth these additional facts. a) The tariff issue was easily one of the most controversial topics during the hotly contested ballot for Speaker of the House in 1858 (the vote was deadlocked for over two months). b) The Morrill Tariff Act of 1859-1860 was passed on a strict North-South party-line-vote (only one southern Congressman voted for it). c) Yes, the Morrill Tariff eventually did help to finance the war for the Union (to the tune, though, of just 11%, the other 89% was paid for via greenbacks and war bonds) but its prime initial purpose (unless of course Lincoln was clairvoyant) was to subsidize northern industries, mines, and railroads. d) It isn't entirely true to say that the time period from 1832 to 1860 was one of invariably low tariffs in that the Compromise of 1832 (which quite literally stopped the Civil War from happening THEN) only lowered the rates gradually and the Black Tariff of 1842 majorly spiked the rates back up to 40%. e) Lincoln owed pretty much the entirety of his Republican nomination to the fact that he ran a full-bore protectionism campaign all throughout the North (Pennsylvania obviously being one of critical states).

Four points to consider. a) He was an absolute protectionist. b) He was a crony capitalist and thoroughly corrupt. c) He consolidated political power predominantly in Washington. And d) he was a hard-core advocate of an inflationary central bank and a huge deficit spender.
The Master (Race) Plan
The conventional wisdom on Lincoln is that he eventually gave up on his notions of colonization (of backs) and replaced these sentiments with those of a much more enlightened nature (i.e., those pertaining to equal rights). Yeah, well, guess what, folks - WRONG! According to multiple documents that have recently been uncovered (from the U.S. archives) by historian and researcher, Philip Magness (his book is entitled, "Colonization After Emancipation"), Lincoln was in intense negotiations with the British government RIGHT UP TO HIS VERY DEATH on just how to eliminate black people from this country's soil. There, try and put some lipstick on that pig..................................................................................P.S. An additional source on this matter is a fine book written by African-American historian, Lerone Bennett Jr., "Forced into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream". You just might want to check that one out, too.
The Death of the Peaceniks
Unlike some people who claim to be anti-war and pro-civil-liberties but who shamelessly and reflexively support pretty much anything that their fellow initiates, I truly am. And, yes, I am in fact referring to Abe Lincoln again; the fact that the dude didn't just wage war (a war, mind you, that killed or maimed close to 5% of the total population and of which also destroyed nearly half of the country's wealth) but all-out total war. I cite specifically the fact that under his auspices, Union soldiers killed civilians, plundered and confiscated private property (a large percentage of these victims having never owned a single slave), raped women (a large chunk of them slaves), and burnt to the ground entire cities...........................................................................And, no, it wasn't as if his behavior to the north was any more enlightened. The man imprisoned citizens (by the thousands) merely for speaking out against the war, closed down newspapers that criticized him, ordered the largest mass execution in the history of America (38 Santee Sioux who were all strung up after five minute trials and virtually no defense), suspended the writ of habeas corpus, and even had a Congressman (whose major offense was having the temerity to disagree with his government's policies) deported to Canada.............................................................................I'm telling you here, folks, while I had always more or less thought that Nixon and FDR were the two most fascistic Presidents in American history, I realize now that that assessment was incoreect. It is Lincoln - by a mile.
On the Lingering Myth of Civil War Medicine
Yeah, I'm referring here to a common belief that anesthesia was rarely and/or ineffectively utilized during the war, and the fact that that notion is just patently wrong. I cite specifically the words of George Wunderlich, the executive director of the Museum of Civil War Medicine, in his assertion that not only was anesthesia used (ether and sulfuric acid) on both sides during the conflict, it was probably used in excess of 95% of the surgeries (his source is the "Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion" by the Surgeon General's Office).................................................................................As to how this particular myth came into existence, Professor Wunderlich speculates that it probably came about via eye witness testimony of various journalists who happened to see patients crying out during surgery and these folks just not understanding the concept; the fact that there are multiple levels of "being under" and that even in the milder stages pain is radically reduced and that the crying part was probably more of a reflex and/or fear response....That's pretty damned interesting, no?

Probably when he went on Letterman and the host talked him into saying, "Buttafuoco".
Golden Striking
One of the main criticisms of University of Miami football coach, Al Golden, is that he hasn't been as effective in securing local talent as some of his predecessors. Well, that finally seems to be changing, at least a little. I cite specifically here the recent commitment of Pasco High's (in Dade City, Florida) standout tight-end, Bowman Archibald. This fellow is one hell of an athlete (Rivals has him as the 3rd best tight-end in the state of Florida and the 14th best in the country) and the best part of all is that he's "rising" (a term that's frequently used by scouts to describe players who are quickly improving). I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him on the field as a true freshman and eventually becoming yet another great Miami tight end (along the lines of Jeremy Shockey or Kellen Winslow Jr.). Go Canes.

Navigating salon life one day at a time!
Meet the official FLOTUS hairstylist "Johnny Wright"
First Lady, Michelle Obama, and celebrity hairstylist, Johnny Wright'sstarsi collided two years ago shortly after B.H.O made his presidential ambitions public. The hairstylist, at the time was working in Chicago's Wicker Park and had already made a name for himself on the black social scene, evident by his high-profilebookings with Essence magazine, former FLOTC (First Lady of Turks & Caicos) LisaRaye McCoy-Misick and clientage which include actresses Lauren London and Vivica A. Fox, Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, WNBA star Candace Parker and "Sex and the City" writer Candace Bushnell.
"It's exciting, absolutely, doing the first lady's hair," Wright say's after meeting FLOTUS, they hit if off immediately, not surprising from all accounts she seems like a very charming lady.
And after only two months from the day of her husbands historic inauguration, Johnny Wright was named official stylist to our First Lady of The United States.
Wright, 31, was summoned from time to time to style Mrs. Obama's hair for mostly high-profile events such as; the Democratic National Convention in Denver where she made her breakout speech, the highly coveted cover shoot for Vogue magazine and most importantly, for her official White House Portrait. Meaning, Mr Wright has earned bragging rights that a select few hairstylist will ever enjoy, to be forever ensconced on the walls of our nations most historical residence, The White House.
Johnny Wright's beauty industry story ?
Wright tells Avis Thomas-Lester, a writer for The Washington Post, that …. "doing hair is in my blood." Johnny is the 'hair' apparent in his family being the descendant of two uncles who were also bitten by the beauty bug.
At age 3, Wright, the youngest of four sons, began much like every black child in the inner-city to down south, scratching and oiling scalps is a rites of passage. His first client just happened to be his grand-mamma, Ms. Minnie Brown, who also doubled as a kitchen beautician until she was 91.
"She's where I got the desire to do hair." says Wright.
In middle school, the back porch became salon central to his family and friends at his parents home on the South Side of Chicago.
"I washed hair in my mom's hair in the kitchen sink," Wright says. But his parents, Vernita and Edward, realizing that their talented and popular son's business was outgrowing the size of the house, built him a booth in the basement of their house on Edbrooke Avenue. Wright shampooed in the utility sink and worked his ebony magic at an old desk his father hooked up with a mirror.
Johnny Wright displayed his business acumen early on by deciding to use the most popular girl in school as his first celebrity client. Ms. DeKeila Farrell was his 'muse' as well as his calling card around the town.
"She was the most popular girl in school, so I did her hair for free," Wright says, laughing.
He illustrated all the hot new styles on Ms. Farrell from French rolls to finger waves. He hit pay dirt as all the wanna be DeKeila's packed the basement throwing money at Wright clamouring to get the same look. "People would ask: 'Oooh, girl! Who did your hair?' " says DeKeila Farrell-Gill, "He was very good back then, and its obvious that he still is," she says. "The first lady has good hands in her hair."
Direct quotes and interview for this post were from the March 26,2009 article featured in the Washington Post titled "He Dresses Michelle's Tresses" by staff writer, Avis Thomas-Lester

Ace Cafe Events
Ace Cafe Orlando
Downtown concerts under the stars
The Ace Cafe was once a boiler plant during the turn of the 20th century, it was bought by prominent Orlando citizen Harry P. Leu in 1926 and turned into a warehouse for his industry supply businesses. In the 1990s, the site became home to a rock n' roll venue called "The Edge" where virtually every rock band from the era – Pearl Jam, Green Day, Lenny Kravitz & others graced the stages.
Today the Ace still has that classic "Edge" indoor stage and wide open outdoor stage area - we call it "The Backyard" - for an ourdoor festival vibe!
STEEL PANTHER with Black Stone Cherry
Thursday, December 17, 2020 @ 6:00PM Thu, Dec 17, 2020 @ 6:00PM
Backyard at the Ace, 100 W. Livingston Street, Downtown Orlando
STEEL PANTHER: As political correctness suffocates and squeezes the last drop of fun from popular culture, four men boldly plant their flag (and maybe another appendage) into the ground in the name of heavy metal...Now, Steel Panther have certainly waved the flag for sex, drugs, and metal to the point of keeping this holy trinity alive since emerging in 2000. However, they fulfill (i.e. engorge) this mission to its fullest potential on their fifth full-length,the aptly titled Heavy Metal Rules. The solos screech louder, the vocals soar higher, the drums hit harder, and the bass throbs mightier than ever before. "You're going to hear something familiar, but you're also going to hear something new," says Michael. "We grew as musicians and as people. The core values stay the same: Heavy Metal Rules and hot chicks are fun."
Demun Jones with Savannah Dexter and TRUCK SHOW
Friday, December 11, 2020 @ 7:00PM Fri, Dec 11, 2020 @ 7:00PM
DEMUN JONES has always had a way of keeping it real when it comes to the music he has written, recorded and performed throughout his career, but, that said, JONES COUNTY might well be the most genuine collection of songs that represents who the Georgia native is and certainly illustrates the place where he's lived his entire life.
Asked how the songs for his forthcoming solo project came about, Demun said, "I went out in my front yard and imagined what are they doing? What are they thinking? What are they going to do? What do I see?"
Life in Jones County, which is just north of Macon, is southern and some, including the Jones family, will say they're rednecks. They drive trucks. They fish and hunt. They like keeping things simple—sort of a what-you-see is what-you-get type of place. All the same, Jones County is what you hear and Demun is hoping people who are from there will respect and love his latest collection of 12 songs, while people who aren't from around those parts will be "captivated by it and want to listen to it."

Sunday, March 22, 2020 @ 6:00PM Sun, Mar 22, 2020 @ 6:00PM
Backyard at the Ace, 100 W. Livingston Street, Orlando, FL
Buddz exploded onto the scene a few years ago when critics and tastemakers alike embraced him - Spin Magazine proclaiming, "Buddz proves the pop rule: Catchiness transcends color." From Vibe Magazine to Entertainment Weekly, Collie Buddz made quite an impression with music critics.
"As an artist, I want to expand musically. I'll always do Reggae. I did Reggae music because I was good at it and that's what I knew and loved growing up. But at the same time, when I put on my producer hat and I hear a riddim, it might not be in my comfort range, but whatever I hear on the track dictates what I'm going to make. I really only care about making good music. For that to happen, it can't live in a box."

In 1974 when Bob Marley went solo, on the brink of international stardom, he surprised the music community by choosing an American born lead guitarist, Al Anderson. It was Anderson's stunning lead work on such classics as No Woman, No Cry, and Three O'clock Road Block, that first alerted rock fans to the Wailer's music.
Andersons' musical achievements with Bob Marley & The Wailers include the platinum aware winning albums, 'Live at the Lyceum', 'Babylon by Bus' and ten times platinum album 'Legene'.

I didn't realise that Michael Golden was ever that cartoonish in any work prior to The 'Nam. Spoke to him at a con last fall for the first time in many years.
There are a lot of European & South American comics from the Groovy Age that you haven't touched. Work by Moebius, Hugo Pratt, Alberto Breccia (showcased in Eerie 75), & Victor de la Fuente (whose Haxtur comics were so influential that an award was named after them), to name but a few.
1980 technically can be considered the end of the seventies; remember when the millennium started and purists insisted that the new century/millennium wasn't official until 2001? If the purists were right about the start of the new century/millennium, then the 1980's didn't officially start until 1981, making 1980 the last year of the seventies.
Back to the comic, with the rise of artificial intelligence and smartphones or quantum computers, a fully computerized brain might not be that far fetched or far off. Once again, the comics predict the future with accuracy that futurists would envy.
It's probably just semantics, but I think you can have a discussion on whether comics and other fantasy media of that time predicted or helped shape the future. When you think that the people who developed the first flip phones probably watched Star Trek when they were young.
In 1971 Neal Adams drew an alien device that a young man finds on a,mountaintop in "A View From Without." It is essentially an iPad.
The story was first published in Phase One in 1971, & reprinted in 1975 in Marvel's Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction #1.
Phase One was an amazing collection of talent!
It was Sal Quartuccio's first publishing effort. He was straight out of college. I remember some of the portfolios he later published, like Wrightson's "Apparitions" in 1978.
Golden has been a wonderful contributor to the comic book world. I rank him 4th greatest talent after Adams, Kirby and Steranko. I much preferred his more serious style in Batman Family and Micronauts to the cartoony style employed in The Nam and here. Still great is great. He's a heck of a nice guy, from small town Wyoming, and always fun to chat with at conventions.
Sad that he has such eyesight trouble, but glad he can work digitally & enlarge the scale of the art. Brian Bolland likewise.

What a grateful man! haha, excellent!

The Attack of the Coronavirus, Part II
from Issue 11
Carter Elliott|February 13, 2020
As the year 2020 progresses, so does the major health headline of the coronavirus. Originating in Wuhan, China, the virus has made its way to the United States and the United Kingdom alike, as well as the Middle East and Australia. Among China evacuees, anotherUnited States citizen has been stricken with the illness, making him or her the fourteenth American to receive the virus. As of 12 February, the number of cases reported by the Xinhua News Agency rose by 14,840, and an additional 242 individuals died from the virus. This puts the total number of infections at around 28,000 and the total number of deaths at 1,300, significantly passing the death tolls of the SARS virus. However, most of the cases are mild—University of Maryland School of Medicine virologist Matthew Frieman dubbed the virus "a bad, heightened cold." For now, though, be careful about the kisses given and received this Valentine's Day, and take careful precautions to avoid being infected.
This is a changing story. Expect updates in the near future.

USDOT releases Iteris-led architecture for Cooperative and Intelligent Transportation
By Tom Stone on	 July 21, 2017 Connected Vehicles, ITS
The US Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS-JPO) has released a new unified architecture that provides a common framework for planning, defining, and integrating ITS and connected vehicles.
In a program that was led by one of the leading developers of applied informatics for transportation, Iteris Inc., the USDOT's ITS-JPO has released the updated version of the ITS National Reference Architecture that fully incorporates the connected vehicle capabilities from the Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture (CVRIA) into the Architecture Reference for Cooperative and Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT).
Thus, both architectures have been completely replaced by ARC-IT, which will provide a unifying framework that covers ITS comprehensively, including Connected Vehicle (CV) and traditional infrastructure ITS capabilities.
Iteris has led the development and evolution of National ITS Architecture for over 20 years, and initiated the CVRIA in 2012. Combining the two architectures into ARC-IT will streamline the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications guidelines as transportation use changes become more prevalent.
The new combined architecture is also likely to play an increasingly important role in the widespread introduction of autonomous vehicles across transportation networks. ARC-IT will also play a similar role as smart city and Internet of Things (IoT) applications and systems become more prevalent. Having a reliable framework can also streamline funding, leading to repeatable deployments.
ARC-IT is a reference architecture that provides a common basis for planners and engineers with differing concerns to conceive, design and implement systems using a common language as a basis for delivering ITS, but it does not mandate any particular implementation. ARC-IT includes artifacts for a large variety of stakeholders, and provides tools intended for transportation planners, regional architects, and systems engineers, to conceive and develop regional architectures, and scope and develop projects.
The ITS-JPO says the existing CVRIA website will remain online through the life of the USDOT's Connected Vehicle pilots, to serve as a reference for those projects. The architecture team next will be offering a pair of public workshops, where users can explore ARC-IT and its updated software tools (RAD-IT, SET-IT) in detail.
"Transportation is in the midst of a substantial shift, as vehicle connectivity and autonomy is explored," said Ramin Massoumi, senior vice president and general manager of transportation systems at Iteris. "Combining the architectures provides one reference architecture for all of ITS in the USA, with more breadth and depth than was available before."
ITS (UK) finishes year with a surge of new members


Hi, is it possible to isntall NeoRouter on a Intel QNAP?
I have QNAP TS-259 on Intel CPU.
2) Install "Optware IPKG package"
4) Download NeoRouter client for Ubuntu 32-bit on computer.
6) Copy data.tar to Qnap in some shared folder.
10) You will see /etc and /usr folders.. Files from them should be coped to the same folders of Qnap.
Sorry to bring back a zombie thread.
I have recently acquired a QNAP system.
I replicated parts of lionarts steps and successfully activated nrclientcmd, joining the system to my Neorouter network. The startup script will not run as is. It depends on Debian packages, which the native QTS lacks out of the box. I suspect modifying it to link to Optware startup files may work.
However, there are several issues with using this setup. Key ones include: 1) Optware is no longer officially supported (had to find an unofficial package through QNAPClub), 2) prior QNAP firmware updates broke Optware startup and require manually restoring that setup.
3) Worse, this setup is not permanent. All Neorouter files get wiped on a system reboot, leading me to suspect the QNAP system is loading QTS through a RAMDisk configuration.
One alternative I've seen is to use Linux Station. Does anyone have experience with how well the QNAP system is integrated with it? In other words, can I access the QNAP web portal using Neorouter installed on a Linux station?
I see that internetxs claims to have built a Neorouter QPKG, which is the likely more permanent solution. I am pretty sure I'm not the only one interested in such a package.
If anyone can guide me on making one, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I was successful in integrating NeoRouter into my QNAP server, using an Optware package from the Qnapclub Store.
Learned the hard way that scripts saved in DOS format do not equate with UNIX format, which leads to all sorts of line feed mishaps.
Solved Issue #1: Recreating the NeoRouter installation on boot.
The NeoRouter files were stored on the main drive system. I adapted QNAP's autorun.sh to create symbolic links in the OS to appropriate locations to the NeoRouter files (QNAP wipes out the OS on every boot. So, this step was necessary). This included the location for the Unix configuration files. Otherwise, it'll get erased on each boot.
Solved Issue #2: Adapting the start script nrservice.sh.
Linux standard base is not available in QNAP. So, references to the /lib/lsb/init-functions by the original script would not work.
I converted the nrservice.sh into a more general form using /bin/busybox for the start-stop-daemon command, and symlinked it as an rc.unslung script under the Optware /opt/etc/init.d/ directory (starting with S* name, so that it recognizes it). I converted the log commands to echo commands that would output to a log file.
Why not slot the script straight into autorun.sh? Well, the NeoRouter files depend on Optware to run. By linking it as a startup script with Optware, Optware will always start first and then launch nrservice.sh.
I tested NR client on a Yosemite beta 5 (fresh installation) and it works well. The tun tap driver works without any problem.
