A1) Pfc. Manning, as well as every other maximum custody detainee, is allotted approximately one hour of television per day.... A2) Pfc. Manning, as well as all other maximum custody detainees, is allowed to correspond and visit with only those HE has personally identified as whom he would like to correspond and visit with. A3) Pfc. Manning is allowed to converse with other detainees as long as the conversation does not interfere with good order and discipline. A4) Pfc. Manning is allotted one hour of recreation time per day, as is every other maximum custody detainee. Depending on the weather, his recreation time may be spend indoors or outdoors. Activities may include calisthenics, running, basketball, etc. A5) No detainees are allowed to exercise in their cell. As a matter of safety, all exercise must be supervised. A6) Pfc. Manning, as well as all other detainees, is issued adequate bedding. A maximum custody detainee also receives daily television, hygiene call, reading and outside physical activity without restraint. He receives the same approved daily meals from the base food service master menu as any other service member would receive. Quantico Information
I know these conditions may seem a bit harsh to people who have never been in jail or prison, but they really aren't outrageous. I'd guess that the no sheets or pillow thing is a suicide prevention measure.
Manning is being held in the most inhumane and unconstitutional conditions imaginable...
Why do you think being in a Marine Red Line Brig is unconstitutional, atypical maybe but certainly not unusual.
inhumane, he gets his one hr in the exercise yard, 3 meals and a bunk. He's even protected from having the other prisoners pounding the piss out of him.
If he's convicted, this will give him a valuable warm-up for the rest of his life.
Obviously you don't have much of an imagination, the Navy can put you on bread and water for 3 days. The worst thing the could do to him now is place him in general population; a Gay Soldier who dishonored the service in general population surrounded by Marine prisoners, now that doesn't take any imagination to figure out, dead man walking.
Compressing NG isn't that big of a deal, Our public transit buses run on CNG and they compress their own at the bus park; and it's not much more complicated to dual fuel personal vehicles. Farmers often supplement their diesel fuel in equipment with propane to get more horsepower out of it for heavy work. CNG handles about the same as propane and there are plenty of propane refillers, most rural areas heat with propane so there is a lot more infrastructure and experience than you'd imagine.
What I understand the biggest show stopper was the installation of the transmission lines to get the power from where it was generated to where it would be used. The Reason the transmission lines couldn't be built is because they couldn't get the right-of-way for it. The reason they couldn't get the right-of-ways is because they wanted the mineral and water rights as well; and the reason they wanted the water rights was to suck the ground dry and to ship the farmer's and rancher's water to the big-cities in aquaducts built under the transmission right-of way.
Personally I think wind-power is over-hyped and uneconomical, yet it would be interesting to see one honest project happen to find out for sure if and why and by how much.
It got lame after the original "Not Ready for Prime Time Players"left, 1975-1980 were really the golden age for the show. I remember, when the network interrupted SNL news of the Jonestown Massacre , I, a little bit drunk and at a party said "That's a little much even for Saturday Night Live."
I didn't realize there was a tax cut, I know a scheduled increase was once again put on hold if that's what you mean. And the unemployment benefit extension is about all that's going to keep the economy from imploding so it's a bitter but necessary pill, at least the average Joe and Jane is reaping some benefit from it. While my leanings are more Tea Party-ish and Libertarian so these do seem like eating your seed, but I'm pragmatic enough to realize it's a choice between starving now or starving later.
How about just buying stamps and stationary to send the letters with and write them on; week at least until we start getting pretty hungry. A better idea might be to download some Creative-Commons music and name them as if they were RIAA stuff and let the assholes sue us for infringement? Oh wait that wouldn't work either because the courts aren't astute enough to make the *IAA actually prove what you were offering for download was actually their's, so how about naming the torrent files with the MD5sum of the artist's name and song title instead That could be interesting!
When they start realizing the the Republican Industrial-Military Complex is quite lame compared to the Democrat's Entertainment-Government Complex maybe somebody will castrate that giant corporate turd.
First the didn't say it was in space, they said "so we decided to venture into near space, with the help of some Androids. " and the title "Android In Spaaaace!" was clearly a SNL Mr. Bill Reference; So turn in your geek card immediately. If you watch the first video on the page you'll see the little Android Commander figurine get flicked off the payload package and into the void by one of the parachute lines, Mr. Sluggo must have bacame a parachute rigger.
A new technique developed at King’s College London uses a fifteen minute MRI scan to diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD).... The researchers found that ASD patients had special cortical features that allowed their brains to be distinguished from the other two groups. By contrast, ADHD brains could not be distinguished from their healthy counterparts. Because of the small sample size, researchers were unable to distinguish between distinct diagnoses along the autism spectrum (e.g autism vs. Asperger’s). Future research will be needed to determine whether the new technique can tease out diagnostic subcategories of the disorder – and whether the same technique can find these differences in childrens’ brains. Fifteen minute MRI scan to diagnose autism spectrum disorder
Actually the original point is ASD not only have difficulty reading body language intuitively but don't send it intuitively either so your not going to be able to read them in an instant and anything you do read is likely to be wrong anyways. In the NT population body language usually trumps verbal language, in the ASD population Verbal language trumps body language.
The 50-year-old pilot, who lives outside Sacramento, asked that neither he nor his airline be identified. He has worked for the airline for more than a decade and was deputized by the TSA to carry a gun in the cockpit. He is also a helicopter test pilot in the Army Reserve and flew missions for the United Nations in Macedonia.Sacramento-area pilot punished for YouTube video
The sad part is it's probably more likely that two pilots have the same name then that same set of credentials.
Actually there is a very good chance that Asperger's syndrome will be dropped from the ICD-11 as a separate diagnosis, right now in ICD-10 the biggest difference between Childhood Autism, F84.0, and Asperger's F84.5 is "no general delay or retardation in language or in cognitive development." and it is notable that a delay doesn't imply or exclude a permanent retardation of a skill set. Most clinicians have been using the spectrum paradigm for a long time rather than discrete diagnosis. Still given the rate that Auties and Aspies are bullied by schoolmates in our now enlightened society, I'll stand by most being burned at the stake in Shakespeare's time.
The other thing I loved about Jerry, and everyone else was things that could break, would break when he was around. If you wrote a program or made some hardware and sent it to Chaos Manner and it functioned properly there, you were golden because it would function anywhere.
Oh no I remember articles on stuff like how to interface stepper-motors to an RS232 serial port to connect to an etch-a-stretch and program listing to make the whole gizmo work as a plotter on a 6502 or making a CPU card using a Z8000 for the S100 bus. There were focus issues on new-fangled Operating systems like Unix, Artificial Intellegence, Lisp, Forth, Pascal, C; they were all over the place in the golden age. The IBM PC did take them down the slippery slope, but they fell from a great height.
In 20 years you'll probably need an arctic ice break to keep the Puget Sound open. There hasn't been any statistically significant global warming for 15 years and the last 2 years have been frickening cold. It's snowing all over North America, It's snowing all over Europe, it's snowing all over Asia and winter just started! Hell it's even snowing in Australia, and it's Summer down under. Air temperatures are plummeting, Sea Surface temperatures are falling and Sea Ice extent and thickness is rebounding, oh and Polar Bear are population is much higher than previously thought.
Probably not, as the steam piston moves down the bore, it takes increasing volumes of steam to be delivered to maintain the constant presure and that is unlikely to be possible. The gas flowing through the pipes is going to encounter resistances which will cause presure and temperature flucuations, the nice dry superheated steam is going to have areas where condesation occures and saturated steam results causing even more flocuations. Most of these effects will be chaoic and erratic so they build some over-kill into the system to compensate. The video of the launch looked real nice and smooth, regualar steam catpults launches seem much more jerky.
Yeah does seem there's something strange going on out there, I'm from outside Detroit MI and in November spent a couple weeks in the Seattle area and it seemed there was a lot of reported instances where the Police were involved in fatal interactions or used extreme force for the amount of reported crime in the area.

That or 52 years at hard labor. Getting executed almost looks like getting let off easy.

it's like they rolled a porcupine in botox and slapped the characters in the face with him; the mechanical monkey in "Toy Story 3" was more lifelike.

the Cambridge Face Memory Test was an eyeopener for me.
