m3 reporting by the government has gone away, but the data is still collected and can be found:
http://www.nowandfutures.com/key_stats.html
http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data
so it is not being "hidden" it has just been given over to the open market.
I will let you decide if that curve is horrifying or not. One of the things about the M3 over M2 is that it "M2 + all other CDs (large time deposits, institutional money market mutual fund balances), deposits of eurodollars and repurchase agreements."
So a good portion of that is savings and investments. Don't we WANT to see a growth in gap between M2 and M3? That would mean people and institutions are saving more.
We are using a pair of Thumpers (T-humper as we call it) as a "secure high capacity transport device".
In other words, we configure it with NFS/SAMBA, send it in a road case to a site, plug it in. Dump data till they are full, ship them back.
Only problem is when I open it to replace a failed drive... it keeps saying something about "My mind is going Dave... I can feel it."
Stupid computers.
Oh yes... and SANs. High end SANs can do things like sustain 64GBit per second transfer rates to and from attached machines. Each machine is limited to 4GB per second per channel, but it is damn fast.
The other thing is what he has said from an Obama 2004 interview with the Sun Times:
Ever since, Obama has been a devoted member of Wright's church. Obama says that Wright is not only his pastor, but he also is his friend and mentor. And Wright is one of the people to whom he turns [to] help him explain how his liberal positions jibe with his faith.
These days, he says, he attends the 11 a.m. Sunday service at Trinity in the Brainerd neighborhood every week -- or at least as many weeks as he is able. His pastor, Wright, has become a close confidant.
"The biggest challenge, I think, is always maintaining your moral compass." [Obama]
Friends and advisers, such as the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church in the Auburn- Gresham community on the South Side, who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years, help him keep that compass set, he says.
Another person Obama says he seeks out for spiritual counsel is state Sen. James Meeks, who is also the pastor of Chicago's Salem Baptist Church. The day after Obama won the primary in March, he stopped by Salem for Wednesday-night Bible study.
These people are his "spritual guides", not just "some guys I hang out with" so yes, it goes to his ability to correctly determine character when he later says "Gee, that is not the guy I know"
It also means these men influenced his thinking, set his compass.
So sure, if you (or anyone else) want "God damn America" as a guiding principle of the President then vote for him. But don't be surprised some of us don't want that, and don't try to blow it off either. Embrace it if it what you want.
Obama's corruption can be summed up in one name: Tony Rezko.
To wit:
Long time "friend" of Obama. Fundraiser for Obama. Shady real estate deal with Obama. Corruption charges, convicted: http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/politics&id=6185320
Now, you can make the arguement he was/is ignorant of Rezko's doints. Fine. Seems to also be a theme with Obama. Either he is lying about what his "Close friends" do, or he is a terrible judge of character.
Jim Johnson.
As for poor judgement and race baiting, here are some of his close friends: Reverend Wright. James Meeks. (White people in power are slave holders. Viciously anti-gay) Michael Pfleger.
And lets not forget he threw the whole church (of more than 20 years) under the bus just a few days ago.
Might I remind you, before you say a man's religion is not important: Mitt Romney was painted heavily with the "he is a Mormon" brush.
O Oh, and by the way, for the most part Bush has done a fine job. You'll regret it if a Dem is elected. I fear all we have to vote for are Democrats. Just depends if they are more liberal, or less liberal.
WE don't know the Sun is getting hotter? Is that you and your little mouse?
Maybe he can read this to you really slowly:
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/sun_output_030320.html
In what could be the simplest explanation for one component of global warming, a new study shows the Sun's radiation has increased by.05 percent per decade since the late 1970s.
The increase would only be significant to Earth's climate if it has been going on for a century or more, said study leader Richard Willson, a Columbia University researcher also affiliated with NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
The Sun's increasing output has only been monitored with precision since satellite technology allowed necessary observations. Willson is not sure if the trend extends further back in time, but other studies suggest it does.
"This trend is important because, if sustained over many decades, it could cause significant climate change," Willson said. Oh right... inconvenient truth.
And might I remind you, we have better records of the Mars Ice Caps, going back to Galileo, on what the caps used to look like. They are shrinking.
See, I would pay for a small town newspaper. What I got instead is the Sacramento Bee, which is mostly a rehash of the AP and Rueters I can get for free and one day earlier.
So I read the SN&R instead, for free. Not the best, not my politics, but almost always worth a read.
"Abort, Retry, Fail?" was the phrase some wormdog scrawled next to the door of the Edit Universe project room. And when the new dataspinners started working, fabricating their worlds on the huge organic comp systems, we'd remind them: if you see this message, always choose "Retry."
Far cop on the Race == Speices. I blame lack of coffee this morning.
Some argue that although "race" is a valid taxonomic concept in other species, it cannot be applied to humans.[3] Many scientists have argued that race definitions are imprecise, arbitrary, derived from custom, have many exceptions, have many gradations, and that the numbers of races delineated vary according to the culture making the racial distinctions; thus they reject the notion that any definition of race pertaining to humans can have taxonomic rigour and validity.[4] Today most scientists study human genotypic and phenotypic variation using concepts such as "population" and "clinal gradation". Many contend that while racial categorizations may be marked by phenotypic traits, the idea of race itself, and actual divisions of persons into races, are social constructs.
The point still remains, race in humans is a social construct, not a scientific fact. Teaching as such is incorrect as it does not a scientific fact. Niether is evolution or gravity (a Law, not a Theory) or anything else that trys to explain why somthing happens.
Example: If I drop a ball, and it falls, that is a scientific fact.
Theory: The ball fell because the earth sucks.
Theories are analysis, facts are observed incidents that support or disprove a theory.
Example: Dropped a ball on the moon and it did not fall.
Theory: Fact supports Theory that the earth sucks because the moon did not.
Yes, well it is an important distinction you are making. There are quite a few "theories" that have been taken as fact, such as the concept of "races" in the single human race. Despite the fact that the idea of race is based on viable offspring interbreeding ablity some insist that varitial==race. Go figure.
Couple more I can think of that people take as fact that are only theories.

RFTA. For every unit of CO2 generated by the lime production process, 2 units are sequestered when it is used.
So the claim is that it will be net negative.
Dumb idea, if you ask me, but at least you should bother to read it before making assumptions.

You can do better than $1000.
www.levengers.com sells them for $979, shipping included.
Finding a 15 to 25% off code is pretty easy, making it a decent deal.

Then use the savings to buy him a nice geeky pen or two.

So he has Mars ownership given to him through the rights granted him by a government that has no right to claim it for itself...
So how exactly does he have a right conferred to a government that does not have the power to do?
Interesting theory, but not sure it would stand up. Also, good job ruining a joke, eh.
I just hope none of it was LGPL 3.
I think that would mean that RMS owns Mars.
Oh, and by the way, for the most part Bush has done a fine job. You'll regret it if a Dem is elected. I fear all we have to vote for are Democrats. Just depends if they are more liberal, or less liberal.
Gimme a JFK today, he would be right of McCain.
Hyenas? In America?
Right. Well, just silly mistake, but do be more careful. I am sure you meant wolf or coyote or some similar native predator.
BTW, to previous commenters: nature values in most species the female over the male.
