Gates may undo Rumfeld/Feith intel changes.
“Pentagon chief Robert Gates is considering whether to dismantle some controversial spying operations set up by his predecessor, Donald Rumsfeld, as a way of by-passing the CIA. … Former officials involved in an ongoing debate about Pentagon spying say he’s considering whether to pull back the so-called ‘Strategic Support Branch‘ and other intelligence channels established by Rumsfeld and his former lieutenants, Stephen Cambone and Douglas Feith.” Shane Harris has the full story in the National Journal.

According to Amnesty International at least 68 men and women have been executed in Iraq since the US reinstated the death penalty in August 2004.

New Technique Stores Data in Bacteria
http://www.livescience.com/
scien...ia_storage.html
Artificial DNA with encoded information can be added to the genome of common bacteria, thus preserving the data. The technique was developed at Keio University Institute for Advanced Biosciences and Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus. If you think those USB flash memory "thumbdrives" are small, check this data storage out.
According to researchers, up to 100 bits of data can be attached to each organism. Scientists successfully encoded and attached the phrase "e=mc2 1905" to the DNA of bacillus subtilis, a common soil bacteria.
One early use for the technique would be to create special markers to identify legitimate versions of pharmaceuticals. However, the bacillus itself creates new copies of the data every time it reproduces itself, thus making it an ideal archival storage system.
Bacillus subtilis also creates extra copies of the data, inserting it in different places in its genome, further safeguarding the data. That's "multiple backup copies" for those of you who have lost data in the past.
"Rich: Why Bush pardoning Libby is a slam dunk RAW STORY
Published: Saturday March 10, 2007
According to New York Times columnist Frank Rich, it isn't a question of if President Bush will pardon a former White House aide convicted last Tuesday on charges of lying and making false statements but when. Rich calls the prospects of a pardon occurring a "slam dunk" proposition, which is a mocking reference to words that former CIA chief George Tenet reportedly used before the invasion of Iraq to describe the existence of WMD that were never found.
"Even by Washington's standards, few debates have been more fatuous or wasted more energy than the frenzied speculation over whether President Bush will or will not pardon Scooter Libby," Rich writes in Sunday's paper. "Of course he will."
As Rich sees it, "A president who tries to void laws he doesn't like by encumbering them with 'signing statements' and who regards the Geneva Conventions as a nonbinding technicality isn't going to start playing by the rules now.""

"News Analysis
Crisis Looms in Mortgages
By GRETCHEN MORGENSON
Published: March 11, 2007
On March 1, a Wall Street analyst at Bear Stearns wrote an upbeat report on a company that specializes in making mortgages to cash-poor homebuyers. The company, New Century Financial, had already disclosed that a growing number of borrowers were defaulting, and its stock, at around $15, had lost half its value in three weeks.
What happened next seems all too familiar to investors who bought technology stocks in 2000 at the breathless urging of Wall Street analysts. Last week, New Century said it would stop making loans and needed emergency financing to survive. The stock collapsed to $3.21."

one time zone per family
François Bayrou is for the first time at equality with Ségolène Royal in term of intentions of vote to the first round of presidential with 23 %, according to a Ifop-Fiducial survey for the Newspaper of Sunday to appear on 11 March and carried out March the 8 and 9. The candidates centrist and Socialist however are preceded by Nicolas Sarkozy who remains at the head of the intentions of vote to 28 %.
The centre leader, whose progress has been constant in the public opinion polls for several weeks, gains four points compared to survey IFOP, for Paris Match, dated from February 26 and 6 points compared to preceding investigation (of) IFOP for the JDD from February 22-23.
Ségolène Royal follows a downward slope, respectively losing 2,5 points and 5 points compared to these preceding investigations. Nicolas Sarkozy loses for its part a point compared to survey IFOP Paris-Match and remains on the same level as in preceding investigation IFOP-JDD.
Jean-Marie the PEN arrives in fourth position with 13% of the intentions of vote, respectively gaining 1 and 1,5 points compared to the preceding surveys.
Come then Olivier Besancenot to 3,5 % (-0,5), Arlette Laguiller (=) and Marie-George Buffet (-0,5) are to 2 %, to 1,5 % (-0,5). Three candidates are to 1% - Domenica Voynet (0,5), Frederic Nihous (0,5) and Philippe de Villiers (-1) - and two to 0,5%: Gerard Schivardi (0,5) and Corinne Lepage (=). Nicolas Dupont-Aignan does not reach this threshold.
In case of absence of Jean-Marie le PEN in the first turn, as to say he hypothetically does not obtain 500 sponsorships of elected officials necessary to participate in the runoff for the Elysee, Nicolas Sarkozy seems the candidate who would profit from it more. He obtains 34,5 % of intentions of vote in front of, this time, Francois Bayrou (25 %) and Ségolène Royal (24 %). Philippe de Villiers, candidate souverainist of the Movement for France, points in this case to 3,5 %, against 1% if Jean-Marie the PEN were candidate.
The survey was carried out near a sample of 881 people, representative of 18 years the gée French population and more, registered on the electoral rolls, extracted from a national sample of 959 people.

I think that every sunday at 7PM we should turn the clocks back 24 hours.
my father's widow and her daughters were big j.c. penny shoppers.

According to Pat Buchanan, the earlier time shift will cause people to go to the mall after work. I wish I were making that up.
JeffCO
Yes. Because your average suburban mall is lit by candlelight. And its very difficult to navigate WalMart's narrow aisles in dim lighting.
If the sole reason for Daylight Savings Time were to increase commercialism via ambient light, then they ought to move it forward 6 or 8 hours, so that everyone is off to work @ what is 2 AM at the moment. If everyone wer off work before noon, there would be plenty of light to read the price tags, eh?

ot, but here is an excellent story:
Web charity helps save Congo's gorillas
By Mike Pflanz
The Christian Science Monitor
GOMA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
On a blackboard in a classroom in Stratton Elementary School in Colorado Springs, Colo., a montage of photographs and fact sheets has been pinned up under the heading "Silverback Gorillas." Together, the 43 children in the second-grade class give $244 a month to support a rarely paid and poorly equipped wildlife ranger half a world away in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Joseph Aloma Major is a foot soldier in the war to save the world's critically endangered mountain gorillas, an employee of the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN), Congo's wildlife service.
Before the money started flowing from Colorado, directly donated online via a new charity website, WildlifeDirect.org, Mr. Aloma could barely do his job.
He had not been paid for several months. His patrol post had no fuel and no vehicle to put it in. And, until last month, he faced the danger of attacks from rebels commanded by dissident Army General Laurent Nkunda, whose troops controlled much of the land surrounding the park.
But now that Congo's government has signed a cease-fire with Mr. Nkunda's forces, the area is safe enough to patrol. And thanks to generous donations from people like Stratton second-grader Kori Hernandez, who donated her entire piggy bank (about $30), rangers like Aloma are now getting the money to make protection of the endangered gorillas possible again.

Well, "300" currently has a user rating of 8.4/10 after 8,519 votes at the imdb.com .
A high rating like that is usually a pretty good indication that it's going to continue to do well. Movies with quick box office dropoffs typically start off poorly in the user ratings over there.

From Newsday's review of "300"...
http://www.newsday.com/entertain...eview-
headlines
One hears of allegedly serious minds grappling over what the "politics" of "300" are. Bloggers, pundits and others with too much time on their hands have spent the weeks leading to the opening of this revved-up and outlandish retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae arguing over which present-day parallel best fits the ancient combatants.
For the moment, we'll bite: Are the 300 Spartans, led by King Leonidas (Gerard Butler), correlatives for freedom-loving Americans holding the line against Middle East terror as personified here by the massive Persian army? Or are the nation-gobbling Persians, led by King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), analogous to what some believe to be imperialistic Americans?
If "300" carried any intellectual heft (if, in other words, it was scrupulous with historic details), one could see the point of thrashing these provocative notions to their metaphoric nubs. But this movie in no way pretends to be a replication of historical events. It is, instead, a willed hallucination of ancient history goosed with mutant warriors, rhinos outfitted like Sherman tanks and a King Xerxes who's dolled up with enough glittering threads and glossy makeup to make every David Bowie wanna-be from the mid-1970s chew his knuckles in fuming envy.
Put bluntly, the movie's just too darned silly to withstand any ideological theorizing. And "silly" is invoked here, more or less, with affection.

The actors are real, but practically the whole movie was shot in front of a green/blue screen...

trivia
*The work was photographed completely in Montreal, with the exception of two days of insert shooting in Los Angeles.
*Ten visual effects vendors contributed to the film, spread over three continents.
*The filmmakers used bluescreen 90% of the time, and greenscreen for 10%. They chose blue because it better matched the lighting paradigm (green would have been too bright) and because red garments (a la spartan capes) look better when shot over blue.
*There was one day of location shooting, which was for the horses that were shot for the 'approaching sparta' scene.

Pynchon's Mason & Dixon had the lost days as one of its many sub-stories.
I heard a thoroughly confusing conversation on Whadya Know this morning when they called some part time local official in Indiana to have him explain their time zones. I still don't really know what time it is there, but then again do I really care?
Oh fuck, that shit is whack. I can't remember the dealio, but it was possible for you to get up at 11 if you lived in one area and get to work by 9. Or something stupid like that. All depends on what county you're in--I guess the ones around Chicago do change, and a few others, but most don't? Whatever. I don't live or work there.

The government needs to subsidize the membership fees of the poor at the country club of their choice. They also need to protect the fact that they are poor.
If it is true that their are practical and socioeconomic benefits to the institution of the country club.
Either that or the country club should be abolished.

goopers a new stndard for liars
This morning I got some even more disturbing news from the front. Aside from the regular stuff about how things are getting worse and worse, which one always hears from guys stationed in Iraq, something new and very ominous. The soldiers are being told that the Democrats are cutting off funding. That has started manifesting itself in reduced meals, reduced perks, signing for ammo on a per-round basis...

but that--since our culture is time-bound, and not sun-bound--changes everything...

Speak for yourself, bubba. The biggest problem I have is moving Arthur's dinner later as the day increases. Damned if I'm going to insist he eat at 4pm when he's got four hours more of daylight. Reminds me of being at UC Davis and twice a year, changing the cows over.
Country Clubs have traditionally excluded blacks, but no one is addressing the fact that they also systematically exclude the poor.

I wish one gooper/troll/winger would explain to me how not wanting anymore troops killed in Iraq is a betrayal.
They spewed the same ridiculous bullshit during Viet Nam.

terrorism defined: activity designed to induce fear in one's opponents, usually by criminal means, in furtherance of one's political objectives.
This definition refers to 'criminal' so as to bring terrorism out of the 'war' framework and into the 'police' framework. War, of course, trashes the rule of law; police work, at least ideally, is constrained by law...

This is exactly how the Bushistas are planning on playing this. Glenn Beck already started the other day - more will surely follow.
Bush will stay the course and surge slightly while the Dems undercut our troops. Just watch it unfold. The lying will be limitless.

I mis-spoke. Feeding time is when Arthur's tummy triggers his little feet to come and find the Two Legs with the can opener. I'm moving that moment forward because as we have more daytime it's only reasonable. I know what you're saying tho - but as someone who has always fought sun time versus clock time I'm finding that sun time is a good deal better for me than the other.
I only have one clock in the whole house, and that off in a corner. Don't care for them.

Once you are owned by a Boston Terrier, no other breed will do.
Although, I AM rather fond of Pugs.
I always enjoy the fact that in the small towns of Alberta the big deal public facillities are always a curling /hockey rink and an at least 9 hole golf course. These are -always- municipal facillities, like the public library and the school. Nice. Everybody golfs!

heh well later on that summer my cousin Judith (the one who is having a baby boy soon) wedding was most delightful, the reception too.
see my other cousin's wedding was all about impressing her hubbies rich friends, they all worked in the city and had fast cars and thin girlfriends.
where as Judy's wedding was just beautiful and not about showing off.

The stupid are the least excluded from country clubs. The upper classes have a higher share of idiots than any other class.
Once you are owned by a Boston Terrier, no other breed will do.
I've done Boston's for over 30 years. There are ashes in cans in my (soon to be) ex's curio cabinet. She's requested to be buried with them. The attraction is that strong. They're a rare breed.
I saw a picture of Darcy Burner -- is she old enough to vote?
I have no intention of seeing "300" but I am kind of hoping that it will do well enough for George Clooney aggressively to pursue his option to film "Gates of Fire" -- a tremendous novel about the same events (but without the closeted homo-erotic subtext for freepers)

my cousin Karen (the one who held her reception at the golf club) is a selfish individual and the apple of my aunty B's eye.
she can get away with all sorts of stuff and she always comes first.

While who does what to whom? The troops have been under the control of a Republican-controlled government since this war started.
I'm not worried.

My old one is in the living room.
Alas I don't know how to split my cable so I can't watch it tell I get the cable guy here.
