I'm not denying their scientific acumen. It's obvious they are very adept at what they are doing. But the reason this program exists in BYU is to find proof that the native americans were really descended from a lost tribe of Jewish settlers who came to America. Even if the head of this program, who is a high ranking Mormon, isn't interested in this; the LDS would use this as a reason to posthumously baptize Tutankhamun.
Seriously, if your not a member of LDS, the idea of posthumously baptising is pretty whacka-loon and unsupported in any other religion I'm aware of, so what difference does it really make? At Least when the Satanic Temple performed a Pink Mass at the gravesite of Fred Phelps’ mother,
a burgeoning community of worship devoted to the Dark Lord, has performed a “Pink Mass” over the grave of Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps Jr.’s mother. The Pink Mass is a Satanic ritual performed after death that turns the deceased's straight spirit into a homo one—it’s not unlike the Mormon practice of baptizing the dead, only much gayer. Satanists Turned the Founder of the Westboro Baptist Church’s Dead Mom Gay
That's right! Both these groups are jerking off to the idea of Armageddon! And yet nobody is rounding them up into prisons and concentration camps under suspicion of conspiracy to kill everyone on the planet! I know! Insane!
The Mormons are getting ready for an event prophesied to occur at an undetermined and unknowable future time, unlike the Iranians who are actively working to Implement it.
The Constitution controls what the Government may or may not do, that is why I said law.
``(a) Whoever, in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, has the intent to capture an image of a private area of an individual without their consent, and knowingly does so under circumstances in which the individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
``(b) In this section--
``(1) the term `capture', with respect to an image, means to
videotape, photograph, film, record by any means, or broadcast;
``(2) the term `broadcast' means to electronically transmit
a visual image with the intent that it be viewed by a person or
persons;
``(3) the term `a private area of the individual' means the
naked or undergarment clad genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or
female breast of that individual;
``(4) the term `female breast' means any portion of the
female breast below the top of the areola; and
``(5) the term `under circumstances in which that individual

``(A) circumstances in which a reasonable person
would believe that he or she could disrobe in privacy,
without being concerned that an image of a private area

True story, man pulls up to Canadian Customs in Sarnia Ontario, customs : Where are you going? man: going to Buffalo New York customs : Do you have any weapons? man: Well actually I have a cannon, 2 dozen cannon balls, 50 pounds of black powder and fuze on the trailor I'm pulling. customs: Do you have any handguns? man: No. customs OK have a safe trip
Interesting that there's no office or central representative that we could ask, "what does the [Tea, TEA] Party mean anyway? Can't even ask the people who are funding it. Some Party.
I thought it stands for "Move out of Your Mother's Basement and Buy your Own damned Hot-Pockets", it takes a bit of artistic license to get there, but it is what it is. It's also Kind of like Anonymous, but with jobs and mortgages to pay.

Westinghouse's AP1000 has some new technologies and 4 of them are being built in the US. I'd like to see more work on modular reactors like NuSale's concept and thorium reactors.
You can't get the raw data, at least not all of it. Even if you did get it it a nightmare of to get it into anything like a useful format it's filled missing and malformed data. You can get the produced and adjusted data, Wood For Trees is probably the best place. You can make all kinds of interactive graphs of with boat loads of different datasets and processing filters.
Did anyone tell those impatient spoilded brats those trees were likely worth 5000.00 - $10,000.00 each standing? A slab of curly walnut 2.5 X 40 - 56 X 103 inches retails for $2690.00! Even a pine log cut from old-growth climax forrests are worth big bucks, you'd be amazed at how many scuba divers root around in the muck looking for dunderhead logs that were too dense to float from logging a century ago.
Why else did the US go to the Moon - it was because there was a chance the Russians might have found a way to put missiles on there of course, all dressed up as exploration and "good of mankind".
The original intend was the point that if you the "oomph" to get a satellite into orbit, you were domonstrating you had enough "oomph" to get a nuclear warhead from one continent to another; the "oomph" and mojo to go to the moon and back meant you had the "oomph" and mojo to put MIRVs where you wanted. Now that Russia is no longer a mortal enemy, the need for space exploration as a proxy for Global Thermonuclear War has gone a way and we're all missing that testosterone fueled scientific one-ups-manship.
Why, the equator doesn't rotate independently of the rest of the planet? We might assume that having the center of pull ouside of the diameter of the cable would cause concerns about the cable being strong enough, or it would give the cable an "Up and Down" side would be bad. The cable would of course have to be "landed" on or above the equator,but then it could be towed to its intended attachment site.
Additionally when we think of the term equator, most of us you the geographic definition of a fixxed line half way between the poles or at right angles to the axis of planetary rotation, yet we'd need an astro-physists's definition because the planet isn't of homogenous density, and there are tidal forces from the Moon and Sun tugging various changing eccentricities into the system so the differnce in the cable landing at a site micro-radians from the moving equator and one 20 or 30 degrees from the equator is quantitative not qualitatiive; a cable 52,398 miles long is going to amplify an error a lot.
I recall seeeing a youtube video where a scientist set a pile of carbon nano-tube fibers on a surface and flashed them with a typical photo-strobe, and after a few seconds sparks were visiable in the fibers and a few more the pile burst into flames! So appearently the plan is to take one of the highest conducting non-superconducting materials we know of, attach it to the Earth at the equater where almost daily rain and thunder storms occure due to the moisture and static generated by the Trade winds and have machines shinny up and down the worlds biggest lightning rod that is likely to burst into flames if lightning even gets near it; man I would love to see that!
When the Government gives something away or sells it, your due dilligence should be much more dilligent than usually due. If it really had any value the chances are someone's cronies would have had the first refusal, so if you really get a crack at it, it most likely has a negative value.
Don't assume this is just an isolated case, just google Fort McClellan. Agent Orange contaminated with dioxin, PCB, Sarin and Mustard are all still there.
You can't just assume that one type of radiation meter will yeild accurate results in all circumstances, GM (Geiger–Müller) type meters frequently under-mesure beta radiation and are barely able to detect the presence of alpha radiation, the CS-137 is primarily a beta emitter and radium is primarily an alpha emitter, so both would likely be under-detected using GM survey meters. Both nucleotides would represent a significant inhailation hazzard to the TI residents while being under-detected. If I had to recomend one instrument for surveying residential areas for fission products it would be a Dual phosphor, scintillation counter .

I've found that using the Smarty template enginr helps me avoid that situation in PHP and the learning curve is fairly shallow.
If AT&T and Verizon decided they were under-charging, things might get interesting.
hmmm, so you have to PAY to provide evidence against yourself. The lawyers oughta have fun with that, right out of the chute.
Carefull with that, it probably wouldn't take it where you want to go, pretty much every criminal can make that arguement.

doubt you could tell much difference between Canadian and U.S. sports bars, save for the number of hockey sticks.
Nope even California has a hockey team; and with the amount of cross-boarder partying, the differing accents wouldn't help much either.
