OT: Yes, said Claudio Amicucci, some of the other fans were having some difficulty coming to grips with the idea. "It's such a big and original project."
Mr Amicucci had turned up early to watch his team, AC Ancona, play their first game since learning that they were in effect being taken over by the Roman Catholic church. Representatives of the CSI, the sporting arm of the Italian bishops' conference, joined the board this week after pledging €1.6m (£1.1m) a year in new sponsorship. They want new standards of ethics and fairness.
"But since there are no ethics, and there is no fairness, in Italian football some of the lads don't really understand," said Mr Amicucci. He was entirely serious. As well he might be. Serie C1, the Italian third division in which Ancona plays, is not exactly renowned for its Christian values.

OT: The Dutch government will ban the sale of hallucinogenic mushrooms, the justice ministry said yesterday, rolling back part of the country's permissive drug policy after a number of incidents, including the death of a teenager who had eaten them.
The ban will go into effect within months and does not need parliamentary approval, Wim van der Weegen, a ministry spokesman, said. Shops that continued to sell magic mushrooms would be closed.
Under the country's tolerance policy cannabis is technically illegal but police do not prosecute people for possession of small amounts, and it is sold openly in designated cafes. Possession of hard drugs such as cocaine, LSD and ecstasy is illegal. Mushrooms will fall somewhere in the middle. "We're not talking about a non-prosecution policy, but we'll be targeting sellers," Mr Van der Weegen said.

IBD's 1,100-word editorial purported to expose Media Matters' allegedly radical agenda and contemptible tactics. It accused us of being a "nuisance" group, of making "silly" claims, of having "screamed" about Limbaugh, of being guilty of "distortion," of lacking "facts" to back up our claims, of "branding all mainstream media reporters who don't toe its radical line as hopelessly right wing," of "maintain[ing] a de facto McCarthy-like blacklist," of "angry rants," and more.
But here's something Investor's Business Daily didn't do: it didn't quote a single statement from Media Matters to back up its claims. In 1,100 words accusing us of making silly claims, IBD quoted not one such claim. In 1,100 words accusing us of being "angry" and having "screamed," IBD quoted not one such "rant." In 1,100 words accusing us of "distortion," IBD provided not one example. In 1,100 words accusing us of lacking "facts" to support our claims, IBD provided none to support most of its claims. Like Henninger, Investor's Business Daily simply displayed the traits it accused us of possessing.

For more than 30 years, the National Italian American Foundation has worked to preserve this rich heritage. You conduct student exchange programs between Italy and the United States. You champion Italian Americans in government, media, and the arts. The Foundation connects friends of Italy through online forums, and reconnects Americans with their Italian families. I'm particularly interested in one of your most popular programs: the Italian Wine of the Month Club. (Laughter.)

Excuse me, but it is a known scientific fact that the sun will someday burn out and all life on Earth will perish. Is it possible that humans will find a way to flee the dying planet and colonize other planets (assuming we don't render the earth unfit for habitation before then)? It's certainly possible...but is it likely? And even if it's likely, how many will have access to the immense resources required to flee?
Earth's history shows that no species holds pre-eminence forever. We are no different.

I did get a big kick out of Foser's opening paragraph, as I assume my good friend Rickey de la Cal did, given the latter's views on the suject of said paragraph:
I generally avoid using this column to reply at length to Media Matters' conservative critics, in part because there tend to be more important topics than "why Jonah Goldberg is wrong about Media Matters" and in part because his arguments are often so self-discrediting as to make rebuttal unnecessary.
heh...heh....heh...

Excuse me, but it is a known scientific fact that the sun will someday burn out
It could nova, or collide with some other star. Any number of possibilities besides "burning out."
When Oliver Morris and Hazel Ross play their violins, the normal response from those within earshot is applause. But their renditions of Mozart and Brahms prompted a less welcome reaction from officials at Manchester City Council, the threat of a noise abatement notice and a warning that their £15,000 instruments could be seized, if necessary by force.
The professional musicians, both aged 25 and who regularly take to the stage with the world-renowned BBC Symphony and Halle orchestras, have found themselves in the same company as the window-rattling owners of booming sub-woofer stereos and rowdy party organisers by practising their art in their flat in a Manchester suburb.
After moving into the rented apartment a year ago, the couple insist they have kept to the terms of their lease banning them from making "audible noise" between 11pm and 8am. They practise between 10am and 5pm most days and avoid playing on Sundays. But after a neighbour compained, Manchester City Council's anti-social behaviour action team wrote to the couple condemning their rehearsals as "unacceptable" and a "noise nuisance".

The National Italian American Foundation also honors an important bond between Italy and the United States, and that is our shared love of learning. A good education -- in any language, and in every country -- starts with literacy. Thank you for recognizing the importance of literacy with this Special Achievement Award.

Tis my nature. But I take your point. It's an extremely absurd supposition that the entire human race will be able to flee this planet. It's unlikely that even one human settlement could set up a sustainable community somewhere besides earth. There's so much arguing against it, starting with biology. But even if it is possible, it's many thousands of years into the future. Silly to worry about at this point.

In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, the Tory leader says his success in halting Gordon Brown's general election plans was not down solely to the Tories' promise to cut inheritance tax, but the product of two years of recasting his party as ready for the 21st century.

The planet will become uninhabitable billions of years before the sun burns out, supernovas, or whatever. But yes, it is quite a ways off still.
Excuse me, but it is a known scientific fact that the sun will someday burn out and all life on Earth will perish
That the sun is burning out is reality; that it will burn is problematic because other possibilities also exist. Human beings are destroying the environmental conditions that make our lives possible is reality. That we will finish ourselves off in the future is not reality because a meteor could collide with the earth and kill us all through no fault of our own. Or we might die out in a million years due to our actions. But since we have not been around for a million years and have evolved a great deal, we might evolve in that timeframe to survive the crisis. Possibilities aren't reality.
Yea, Jennifer, we're talking two different things here: one, the actual physical destruction of the earth (at least so far as maintaining life goes), which is billions of years into the future, essentially meaningless to us. The second is the ability of humans to set up sustainable communities on other planets, which I say is either impossible, or won't be possible for many thousands of years, at best. Not meaningless, but it has nothing at all to do with what we're doing nowadays.
Several Iraqi Sunni armed groups have formed an alliance that brings together thousands of fighters from some of the country's largest resistance factions.
The Political Council of the Iraqi Resistance could represent a new political force in the country, one with which the US and other forces operating in Iraq could eventually negotiate.

Former defense minister CIA agent, says political analyst
Baghdad - Voices of Iraq
Saturday , 13 /10 /2007 Time 6:01:16
Baghdad, Sept 12, (VOI)- The political analyst of the NBC news, Rick Francona, spoke for the first time about his role in recruiting generals from the former Iraqi army to work for the CIA, the U.S. Radio Sawa reported on Friday.
“For more than a year, Rick Francona, then an Air Force lieutenant colonel, was part of a secret CIA task force working to overthrow Saddam Hussein, the Bill Clinton administration’s failed attempt at regime change in Iraq,” the radio said in a report quoting the MSNBC news.
Francona said that the U.S. should try to stop the hanging of former Iraqi Defense Minister Sultan Hashim Ahmed, one of the generals recruited in that effort.
Hashim has been convicted of war crimes by an Iraqi court and is scheduled to hang in the next few days, unless the US military can quietly get the Iraqi government to commute his sentence.
I moved in and out of northern Iraq, as well as the countries bordering Iraq,” says Francona. “We were involved in what was known inside the Agency as ‘DBACHILLES’ – the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.”

President Bush had to work with the garbage left over from the KA Klington administration. Generals, and all officers, were not promoted on ability, other than the ability to bend over and kiss a**.
Is this a phony soldier? Because the commenter displays a vast lack of knowledge about the care and feeding of military officers. I think it was either the very first officer to get passed over for promotion or the very first foot soldier who was the first person to make the claim that officers get promoted for their ability to kiss ass rather than lead troops.

OT: The tax system should reward married couples, a cabinet minister has said.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Andy Burnham told the Daily Telegraph: "It's not wrong that the tax system should recognise commitment and marriage."
He did not advocate specific changes to the tax system, but said there was a "moral case" for using tax to promote the traditional family unit.
A Treasury spokesman said the comments did not represent a change of policy and had been taken out of context.
The interview comes a few weeks after the Tories pledged to change the tax system to encourage couples to marry.

fair point and sounds a very real possibility
Apparently, some freepers are promoting a National Let Your SUV Idle Uselessly for 15 Minutes Day in "protest" of Fat Al forcing the Nobel committee to give him their fake prize.
NTodd has a post about carbon debits, these people cutting down trees in order to counteract the carbon credit schemes. They're quite nuts.

That happens at least twice a day, every day. It's called rush hour sometimes.

Oh, that's even better than the offsets offsets. Jesus, what little children.
If they were really serious, they'd play Russian Roulette. With 6 bullets.
Ministers have been accused of inadequate and inconsistent leadership over green issues in a strongly-worded attack by a leading environmentalist.
Sir Jonathon Porritt said "soaring" speeches about making the UK a world leader in fighting climate change were not backed up by action.
He said green policies in Chancellor Alistair Darling's pre-Budget statement were "crabby incrementalism".
The measures have already been criticised by environmental groups.
Sir Jonathon - who chairs the government-backed Sustainable Development Commission - told BBC Radio 4's Today programme tougher financial decisions were needed to effect real change.

C'mon. 5. Be fair!

Wow. iPhone just played Minority from Bullet In A Bible. Then immediately followed with Minority from International Superhits. It knows me!
best Ken MacLeod book to start on is The Star Fraction and also the The Execution Channel
I wrote it down, Moon. Thanx.
CNN bubblehead: You know, after the announcement of Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize, a lot of people starting asking whether politics was involved. Stayed tuned for our report.
A lot of people? You mean wingnuts? Then say so.
these people cutting down trees in order to counteract the carbon credit schemes.
I think I saw a mention of that in some news summary.
These morons think Swift was not only serious in "A Modest Proposal," but on the nose...
so how long will the wingnuts contiue to fume over Al Gore's noble win?
a week? a year?
guess they grew bored attacking a 12 year old kid (except for Malkin)
I know the feeling. I can name all seven Blackhawks without even working up a sweat...

Genuinely frightening. I can, however, name the Metal Men, 'specially Tina.
If more than 5% of the Atriots recognize either Blackhawk or Metal Men, I will be astonished.

I'm not worthy...
The BLM wants to speed up the pace of logging (back to unsustainable 1980's levels) in several rural Oregon counties, which counties would financially benefit from the logging. Guess what the strapped-for-revenue counties say?
Not fucking up breakfast.............Priceless.
Omelet with bacon, potato, roma tomato, touch of garlic and cream cheese, with homefries and bacon on the side.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmgoooood!
I work with a man who has a PhD. is history from the University of Edinburogh (sp?). When I told him that Our Al had won the peace prize based on his work on climate change, he asked me, "how is that connected to peace"? I had to explain to him that if the climate changes radically and human populations shift, did he really think it would be done peacefully? and that Gore's work also encouraged alternative energy development...and maybe, there wouldn't be wars for oil!!! Sometimes some of the smartest people are the densest.
P-man, the soaring loonie has pulled the rug out from under the Canadian lumber industry. I suspect the American timber firms are jumping up to fill the void by cutting more trees ASAP.
Investor's Business Daily is a completely "split" thing. Most of the paper is just raw data; it's as "real" as anything that tries to evaluate the markets can be in its presentation of stock and fund prices (if those are honest representations of anything.)
But the editorials- Ugh. Teh fucked-in-the-head. Total lunacy.
When did it become a "MasterCard Card" with the redundancy added in?

I live in my grandmom's basement. I've got nothing but time...
I always wonder if I could master nuclear physics or something if I could jettison that stuff.
Molly Ivors
Nuclear physics ain't that interesting. However, quantum mechanics (the main tool for nuclear) is astonishing.
Even more astonishing, people with a year of calculus can learn most of quantum.
Stay tuned...
"Natural" Cheetos still crack me up.

Around the same time Paul McCartney wrote "And in this ever changing world in which we live in..."
From The First Post, an online magazine based in Britain--which I'm not familiar with--but this article states both the Saudis and Jordanians are arming Sunnis in Iraq--and the weapons are not being used exclusively against Shia. The final paragraph mentions a possible very high number of US helicopters that have been shot down. Via antiwar.com
The Americans have also been coy about the threat to their helicopters. At least six are now admitted to have been downed by hostile fire, and the number could be as high as 50, including a Chinook loaded with dozens of troops. Who is doing this and how, the Americans will not say - for obvious security reasons. But the chances are that at least some of the helicopters have been downed by those Sunni extremist pals of Saudi Arabia and Jordan - which hardly helps the case for war against Iran.
