U.S. troops are being trained to conduct round-ups, confiscate guns and shoot American citizens, including their own friends and family members, as part of a long-standing program to prepare for the declaration of martial law, according to a soldier who recently returned from Iraq.
We received an e mail from "Scott", a member of a pipefitters union that runs an apprenticeship program called Helmets To Hard Hats, which according to its website, "Is a national program that connects National Guard, Reserve and transitioning active-duty military members with quality career training and employment opportunities within the construction industry."

There's a story I've kept under my hat for a couple of days. This seems like a good time to tell it.
Over the years I've run into Clifford Alexander at a number of places I've worked, and we've developed a very casual "Hi, howya doin'?" acquaintance. We sometimes talk a little politics... I remember his being very incensed over the Scooter Libby pardon. He used to handle pardon requests as a senior counsel in the Johnson White House, and he said: "There are established procedures for these things, but these clowns think they can do whatever they want, with total impunity."
He was in shopping the other morning, and I went over and shook hands. He was wearing an Obama for President cap, and I said "I like your hat."
"Do you?"
"Yeah," I said. "I'm an Edwards guy, but I'm feeling pretty comfortable with Obama... frankly, it was Michelle who closed the deal for me."
"Well," he said, "we've known them for over fourteen years. What they appear to be is exactly who they are."
I was really moved when he said this... it wasn't anything I asked, but I guess it was exactly what I wanted to hear.
I just pass it along for whatever it's worth to any of you.

Iraqi Artist Layla Al-Attar
"Few people remember that President Clinton has already bombed Iraq, in June of 1993. Although the claim was later proved to be false, Clinton asserted that Iraqis had been involved in a failed attempt to assassinate former President Bush.
The day after the bombing, Clinton attended a church service where he was asked about the casualties of the attack. Clinton responded that all Americans should be proud of how their military performed. But many Americans were not proud as they discovered there were numerous civilian casualties. One Iraqi killed in the attack was painter Laila Al-Attar. A leading member of the Arab art world, she was killed when her house was destroyed by what is now referred to as a “pin-prick” attack. The explosion also killed her husband and blinded her daughter."
That is truly tragic.

Well. Um. I've been lurking for about 15 minutes and . . . hmmmmmmm.
So, on topic(!): I like the sound of that band a lot; I'm a lyrics person and i had a hard time hearing all the words.
But I think there's something wrong with me, because I find music videos . . . confusing. It's like I can't watch and listen at the same time, especially when it's something I'm hearing for the first time. And if I see the video for a song I have heard before, it makes me wonder if I've completely misinterpreted the song in the first place.
MTV came along a little too late for me, and sometimes I feel like grandma can't figure out how to use the e-mail machine to get to the interwebs.

Oh, I thought the superdelegates were there because almost all of the Democratic primaries award delegates proportionally, whereas the GOP primaries are winner-take-all. The GOP disenfranchises its primary voters right off the bat, the Democrats allow for some negotiation and deal making.
But I don't really know much about it.

I don't know who Whitle Streiber is. His replacement, perhaps?
WS is the reason aliens are always depicted the way they are. He wrote a series of books across the eighties and nineties claiming to have been abducted, laying out the template for the abduction story as it became popular in that period (there was a totally different one before it), and he was crazy about the white ovoid with big black almond eyes. He publicly admitted at one point he was lying but somehow has manage to keep on preaching.
I like Art Bell. I don't care for the main guy on C2C--George Noory. A bit to crypto-rightwing for me.

Sigh. I work for this guy. As of now, Sam Zell has his own category at LA Observed. Signs are it will be a busy one. I get now what New York journos see in the likes of Donald Trump and George Steinbrenner: endless fun copy. Chairman Sam sent out another missive of inspiration to his L.A. employees this morning, but all I hear Times people talking about is a line he uttered yesterday at the Orange County plant. The specific quote varies in the telling, but I've heard from several sources that in defending his decision to allow strip club ads back into the Times, Zell said:
Some of my best friends go to gentlemen's clubs. It's unAmerican not to like pussy.

Mining Camps: A Study of American Frontier Governments
"There was no general acceptance of Sutter as Alcalde. Some of the very first miners attempted to own, hold, control, and rent to others a large and valuable mineral bearing tract. After paying for a short time, the newcomers, who were in the majority, began to equalize matters and adopt laws respecting the size of 'claims.' Nothing in the early history of the camps is more evident than the unpremeditated and unsystematic nature of their first precedings. Officers were never elected until they were needed for immediate decision. And, as we have said, local custom in regard to the 'amount of ground a man could mine' took form before officers were fomally chosen, every one knew that most of the land on which they worked was Government land; the use of it belonged to all alike until such time as the Government made other regulations. Equality of ownership was the only logical conclusion. Here, then, the laws of the camp had their beginning. Long before lawlessness and trouble with foreigners arose, long before the first California gold had reached New York, 'claims' of a definite size had been measured out in the mining camp for each gold seeker. The ownership of the land was the beginning of organization; its ownership in equal parts is significant of the form of society that prevailed, for an unconcscious Socialism it certainly was."

Ron Paul has said he won't quit. I'd love it if he lost his House seat to a Democrat. That would be hilarious.
Paul Vows to Remain a Republican in Race
Feb 9th, 2008 | HOUSTON -- Presidential hopeful Ron Paul said he will not run as a third-party candidate in a new message to supporters that seems to recognize his slim chances at getting the Republican nomination.
The Texas congressman wrote on his Web site Friday that he is making cuts to his national campaign staff and that he must also stay focused on not losing the primary for his House seat.
Paul began Saturday with just 14 delegates for the Republican nomination that John McCain, with 719 delegates, has all but officially secured. Mitt Romney dropped out of the race Thursday, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has 198 delegates. A total of 1,191 delegates are needed to secure the GOP nomination.
"With Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention are nearly zero," Paul wrote. "But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get."

Jamison Foser agrees that Hillary Clinton wants systemic change at MSNBC concerning how the male on air talent talk about women--not that she wants Shuster fired.
I think TPM has gone into defensive mode over the male talent at MSNBC.
But that's just me--Foser writes less emotionally.
MSNBC has turned Matthews' purported apology into a promotional campaign, using clips of his statement to advertise MSNBC programming. Not the parts of the statement in which he acknowledged having been "callous," "nasty," and "dismissive" toward Hillary Clinton, of course -- the parts in which he spoke of his love for politics.
Turning a forced apology into a promotional campaign seems like a pretty good sign that MSNBC and Matthews don't "get it" at all.
But it isn't the best sign. Consider what else has happened during MSNBC broadcasts since Matthews' apology.
First, Matthews' MSNBC colleagues leapt to his defense. Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough and reporter David Shuster lashed out; Scarborough declaring it "offensive" and "outrageous" that Matthews had to apologize, and Shuster adding "this is absolutely infuriating, to see the way these groups used him for pure political gain is absolutely infuriating."...
SNIP Three weeks ago, I wrote: "A week ago, MSNBC had a Chris Matthews problem. If things don't change, the cable channel may have a much bigger problem."
Are you trying to be an asshole?

Since Anomalocaris is extinct, it will never be able to be included in a DNA based phylogeny. So sister relationships of any living organisms to it will always be speculative.

It's a device that cooks the weed at a high enough temperature to evaporate the THC without burning it. It basically produces the same effect as smoking while removing essentially all of the harmful compunds generated by combustion.

At Fark: Trailer for new Ben Stein movie about how anyone who supports intelligent design is "blackballed" by the scientific community Ironically, David Irving assures us that there is no Ben Stein and that therefore this movie is a haox; however, he's having some difficulty spreading the message. If only someone were concerned about the plight of crackpots "backballed" by scholastic communities...
Or the bias is just that overwhelming.

So sister relationships of any living organisms to it will always be speculative.
That said, I don't know what else has been included with that group; there should be some way to resolve the pycnogonid/arthropod relationship in a molecular phylogeny.
Tralfaz
Well, you can go all "molecular clock" on the splits. If the molecular phylogeny puts them closer (in time) to the chelicerates, then they are not going to be closely related to Anomalocaris, just because of the timeline.
But yeah, it's going to be tricky.

So the medication is working OK for him?
As long as he doesn't keep increasing the dosage he should be OK. If he takes it long enough he might have to be weaned off it, but that stuff is FOR severe pain and people should take it if they need it.

Dolby's penchant for novelty type songs ("She Blinded Me With Science" and several songs off Aliens Ate My Buick) always seemed to me to interfere with his incredible capacity to produce stunningly beautiful and atmospheric synth-pop ("One of Our Submarines", "Weightless", "Screen Kiss", "The Flat Earth", "Mulu The Rain Forest", to name just a few).
