How to describe it? Pre-Civil War, most Southern states had one "University" for liberal arts and business education, and one "Land Grant College" for ag and tech education. In North Carolina, "Chapel Hill" was the University, and NC State was the Ag/Tech.

Over the years, the "University" in Southern states became where the kids with money gravitated. UNC also is a "safety school" for a lot of suburban DC kids.

In Lamar's case I bet that's right. He's always struck me as someone who sticks to certain principles, not just spewing whatever the party machinery tells him to. So he probably went silent when the Bush cult took control in order to keep his head on. But it's a coward's path, serving in silence an organization you don't agree with.

GravatarI wonder just how a MAC os is any different in keeping your data from incriminating you?

MacOS is Unix. No commercially available operating system "deletes" data as such.

"Deleting" a file in DOS/Windows simply changes the first character of the file name to a "$" (i.e. from "filename.ext" to ($ilename.ext") which tells the OS that it's OK to put data in that sector.

The OS can be written to seek "empty" sectors before reusing "deleted" sectors. And since hard drives are much bigger these days than most people need, you may never actually overwrite a sector with a new file - meaning all your "deleted" data is still there.

Unix/Linux/Mac works similarly.

Mac OS X provides secure delete trash, encrypted home directories and a "private browsing" mode in Safari that has the browser not remember anything. Spotlight (the file searching) is a privacy issue, but it can be disabled.

No computer is safe from forensics, although one thing that makes the Mac a better choice is very few of the tools police use work on Macs. It's an increasing problem for them since more and more people are using Macs.

GravatarWill all OS systems, if you don't periodically scrub the erased portions of the disk, the data is there for anyone with the determination, time and money to hunt for it. But... what a computer forensics expert ends up pulling from those parts of the disk tend to be in a very messy format. Like reconstructing what a business does by emptying out the dumpsters the day before garbage pickup, at the skyscraper building the headquarters of the business has a floor on.

Vista makes this too easy.

GravatarFormat c: does not remove anything from the disk. You need to use a disk erasing utility, that over-writes at least once deleted files.

Data can be recovered from a disk that's been formated. I've done it myself. There used to be a fairly effective and inexpensive data recovery tool, that only cost $100.00 that was on the market. It was pulled (it always was a one shot that ran off of a floppy drive, so you had to pay $100 every time you used it) right after 911. I found that odd.

There are other 'professional' tools that do the same but they cost much more. Those can still be bought.

GravatarThere's a fundamental inconsistency exhibited here, and I'd sure like to know how Mr. Bush reconciles the two cases. If he is able.

He's not able. He has no empathy. He's a predator. And he didn't commute Libby for the false excuses he made about his years of service, he commuted Libby to keep his mouth shut. It was a selfish act to protect Bush's own hide and had nothing to do with Libby.

GravatarEditions of Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy often have excessively small print. Why? The major works by those authors are long. Larger print will make the volumes too long and thus too expensive. Perhaps more importantly the volumes will appear too forbidding to the average buyer.

But isn't miniscule type for Raskolnikov hard to read? Ah...most of the people who buy the book don't read it. If miniscule type gets them to stop reading sooner rather than later, you might even call it a Pareto improvement.

Self-help books almost always have reasonably large print or even ridiculously large print. The author doesn't have much to say and the publisher wishes to pad the book so it looks real. Furthermore most self-help books are read (at least in part), so to keep the reader happy the print should be large.

GravatarPat Barker began reading newspapers when wrapping fish and chips as a Teesside teenager and, encouraged by her grandma and her grammar school, soon progressed to Dostoevsky. She won a place at the London School of Economics and wrote three unpublished novels before Angela Carter spotted her on a writing course and encouraged her to stick at the gritty, feminist realism with which she made her name.

Born to a single mother, Barker never knew her father, but she has remained firmly rooted in north-east England all her life. Now 64 and about to publish her 11th novel, Life Class, she can't leave her home in Durham at the moment because her husband David, a retired academic zoologist, is ill upstairs. Her daughter, Anna Ralph, is in on our interview. Ralph's first novel, The Floating Island, came out in the spring, and Barker is more than happy to share the limelight.


GravatarIn Western countries such as the United States, Canada, Europe, etc., men seen wearing turbans in public are likely to be Sikhs, who wear turbans to cover the long uncut hair worn as a sign of their commitment to the Sikh faith.

A Sikh (English: [siːk] or [sɪk]; Punjabi: ਸਿੱਖ, sikkh, IPA: ['sɪk.kʰ]) is an adherent to Sikhism, a monotheistic faith started in the 15th century India by Guru Nanak. The term has its origin in the Sanskrit "shishya", which means disciple or learner. A Sikh can easily be recognized by their turban, beard, or a steel bracelet on the right wrist.

Most Sikhs come from the Punjab region of India, although significant communities exist around the world

By Mike Drummond | McClatchy Newspapers
The dress code at the Blue Star restaurant inside Baghdad’s Green Zone now calls for vest and hat. Flak vest and Kevlar helmet, to be precise. And it’s a good thing. At least four mortar rounds hit inside the Green Zone about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, killing two Iraqi civilians. Meanwhile, a State Department official, after initially denying that State had ordered its 1,000 Baghdad personnel to wear protective gear, said that a copy of the order obtained by McClatchy was an undiscussable security breach."

GravatarDemocratic radio address:
Veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan Wars Urges President Bush and Senate Republicans to Change Mission in Iraq

On my flight home this week, I sat next to an Army sergeant. She was a flight medic--charged with saving lives on the battlefield. She told me that she was on her way back to Iraq after taking her two weeks of leave. She had spent the past ten months there, and was returning to complete her last five. When I asked her how she felt about it, she explained that she had a young son at home who will now spend a second Christmas in a row without his mother. She said she was tired of watching her fellow soldiers die in front of her. And she said that no matter what she or anyone else did, nothing was changing in Iraq. Then she just looked at me, as if no other explanation was needed, as if I understood. And I did. Because I've been there.

It is time for the President and those in his party, including those running to be the next Commander-in-Chief, to support changing the mission in Iraq. For the sake of our national security, we must begin bringing the troops back home.

LOS ANGELES - The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles will settle its clergy abuse cases for at least $600 million, by far the largest payout in the church's sexual abuse scandal, The Associated Press learned Saturday.

Attorneys for the archdiocese and the plaintiffs are expected to announce the deal Monday, the day the first of more than 500 clergy abuse cases was scheduled for jury selection, according to two people with knowledge of the agreement. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the settlement had not been made public.

The archdiocese and its insurers will pay between $600 million and $650 million to about 500 plaintiffs _ an average of $1.2 million to $1.3 million per person. The settlement also calls for the release of confidential priest personnel files after review by a judge assigned to oversee the litigation, the sources said.

On my flight home this week, I sat next to an Army sergeant. She was a flight medic--charged with saving lives on the battlefield. She told me that she was on her way back to Iraq after taking her two weeks of leave. She had spent the past ten months there, and was returning to complete her last five. When I asked her how she felt about it, she explained that she had a young son at home who will now spend a second Christmas in a row without his mother. She said she was tired of watching her fellow soldiers die in front of her. And she said that no matter what she or anyone else did, nothing was changing in Iraq. Then she just looked at me, as if no other explanation was needed, as if I understood. And I did. Because I've been there.

It is time for the President and those in his party, including those running to be the next Commander-in-Chief, to support changing the mission in Iraq. For the sake of our national security, we must begin bringing the troops back home.

GravatarA new star rising on the political horizon.... to save us... just like leninsky:

"Strom Thurmond Jr. considers a state Senate run
By Aaron Gould Sheinin | McClatchy Newspapers
Posted on Wed, July 11, 2007 COLUMBIA, S.C. — Strom Thurmond Jr., son of the South Carolina political icon, is considering a bid for the state Senate.

"I am considering running, and I've received a lot of encouragement," Thurmond, 34, told The State on Wednesday.

The former U.S. attorney, now a lawyer with a private practice in Aiken, S.C., declined to comment further.

If Thurmond runs, it will be as a Republican in a special election to fill the seat left vacant by Tommy Moore's resignation Saturday. Moore, the unsuccessful 2006 Democratic gubernatorial candidate, resigned to take a position with a national payday lending trade association."


It don't sound like either of these guys are winners. Payday loan.... what crap.


GravatarMeanwhile, a State Department official, after initially denying that State had ordered its 1,000 Baghdad personnel to wear protective gear, said that a copy of the order obtained by McClatchy was an undiscussable security breach."

An undiscussable security breach.

These guys are hilarious.

Gravatarif Dan White had --

GravatarPie: anecdotes don't cut it


GravatarWhat's wrong with being controversial?

She who shall not be named was very unhappy with me for being honest about something on this blog that annoyed me, though it annoyed several others, as well. She sent me a ammo round of e-mails telling me I was wrong, and that I was a bitch. My intention was not to hurt anyone, but rather to try to make the conversation around here a little less angry and a little more civil, but apparently, one of the (former) kewl kidz didn't agree, so she attempted to bully me. Didn't work, other than maybe to crank her blood pressure to new levels.

I had too much going on in my life at the time to take the bullshit with anything more than a grain of salt - new job,my dad was dying, and all of that.

Nonetheless, I'm honest. I try not to be painfully honest, but my personality can hit like a ton of bricks, and I can't change who I am, nor do I want to.


GravatarI thought trail mix was more up NTodd's ass, ur, alley.

"Over the limit: Comcast says man using too much bandwidth
By Ben van der Meer | McClatchy Newspapers
Posted on Thu, July 12, 2007 email | print tool nameclose
tool goes here
MODESTO, Calif. — Ken Glover admits he's on the Internet a lot: downloading movies and songs, surfing sites, playing "World of Warcraft."

Comcast says he's on too much, and they'll cut him off if he doesn't cut back.

"To me, `unlimited' means whenever I want," said Glover, 35, of Modesto. "When I'm not at work, I'm on my computer."

When his $55 monthly service was shut down last month, Glover said, he called Comcast to find out why.

A company official told him that he'd gone over the "limit" for using Comcast's high-speed Internet service. So the company was exercising its right, listed in the contract's terms and conditions, to shut him down temporarily."

I don't necessarily blame my ex, it's his wife who firmly believes that it isn't *right* for exes to be friends. She's a Republican, too, and is a global warming denier because Glenn Beck says it ain't happening.

Y'know, just for the record, there are plenty of people here who say dumb, silly, or self-important things, and some of 'em don't have even 50% of Tena's good qualities.

GravatarMcCain shows Bush league leadership skills...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp...ml? hpid=topnews
After weeks of internal struggles over who would run John McCain's presidential campaign, three key aides went to the candidate in January and told him he had to take action. Rick Davis, the campaign's chief executive, they said, should be pushed aside, and McCain had to make it clear that Terry Nelson, the campaign manager and a veteran of President Bush's 2004 team, was in charge.

But the senator from Arizona refused, telling the three aides -- John Weaver, Mark Salter and Nelson -- that he would not strip Davis of his title or empower Nelson. "You're all equals," McCain told them, according to one participant. "Work it out."

For McCain, the onetime insurgent then firmly ensconced as the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, it was a fateful decision. Instead of easing tensions among his most trusted advisers, it only exacerbated them, and for the next six months two warring factions clashed repeatedly as McCain's fundraising stalled and his poll numbers dropped.


GravatarSallyh, everyone used to rave about Reefs, but I had a pair that wore out really too fast, and they were overpriced.


GravatarObsessively mocking her is childish, IMO, and invites comparisons that are not necessarily flattering.

How is it "obsessive" any more than it's "constant"? It ain't. It comes up sometimes, like all topics and old jokes. Big fucking deal.

I have, and rejected your notion of what it entails.

Look, her crit was beyond the pale in my opinion. You don't like it, but whatever. I didn't like what she said, how she said it, and I will certainly mock her and that moral high horse she rode in on.

GravatarLands End used to make these amazing flip flops that had, basically, walking shoe soles. They were the most comfortable shoes, ever. Of course, they improved them by making the straps different and now they don't fit me.

I wish there was a law that required companies to send you an email before they discontinued shit you like so that you could go buy a lifetime supply. I'd have bought, like, twenty pairs of those.

GravatarAlso, it's only fair to point out that Tena qualified her statement about "saving the board" almost immediately, acknowledged that it was unrealistic, and pointed out that she felt that impulse mainly because she had so much affection for the people here.

Yes, if that comment were in a vacuum, sure. But the overall context of everything she said was about some Discovered Truth, and then she spun lies and misrepresentations elsewhere (e.g., about a "mailing list" that the "kewl kids" had and "kicked her off").

Also, the fact that she's exiled herself rather than trying to engage with the people she allegedly cares about is more than a tad annoying.

Anyway, we're going to continue to disagree on this. But please refrain from hyperbolic descriptors as "obsessive" just because some people happen to have long memories and won't stop talking about something or someone that doesn't meet your strict criteria for what's worthy.

It was merely a simple request because it's been a long time since the subject even came up, and only was raised because somebody asked Vicki why she thought she was considered 'controversial', and Tena naturally was a part of that given an offline conversation they'd had.
