It is my understanding (could be mistaken) that the recent incidents against Republican Party sites in the US were the result of AFL-CIO organized efforts. Least while that was the openly admitted organizing group.
On the other hand it is pretty likely that such incidents always happen in political years. What is more they are unlikely to stop happening. Of course with the Patriot Act they will be defined well as domestic terrorism. Having worked in campaigns I have learned you just have to accept the risk with the effort. Freedom isn't free.
My wife who is from the Philippines is fearful of my outspoken political efforts because of such dangers. She has no understanding that it has always been that way and American freedom has arisen due to people who would risk their lives for freedom.
Of course if the parties that be (D and R) don't quit trying to act like Joseph Stalin they will get a lot more of this. I personally would speak strongly against such violence even though it might appear the only solution. The consequences of it will be that things only get worse.
An Example: Any person sworn to defend the Constitution could easily justify killing some of the US Supreme Court Justices as they really are a threat to the Constitution. They are shreadding it openly. But in doing so that person would only open a slot for someone worse than what we have now and engender the anger of the people to drive things even further off that which is right so get peaceful and effective people but don't get violent.
You forgot something else: LAME DUCK SESSIONS OF CONGRESS!
For those outside the USA this is a session of congress after an election before the new congress sets. This is when the guys who lost punish the voters for removing them from office! It is also so far from an election that most people forget to pay those who betray them during such sessions in the voting booth.
HIV is a very unique disease with a most difficult set of transmission routes requiring definite HUMAN intervention for these to be achieved. It is a disease which does not need to exist and would not exist without deliberate HUMAN IGNORANCE on an extreme scale. It would go extinct almost immediately if not for these deliberate human interventions.What is more these human ignorance vectors are all quite well known. There is little doubt about how it may be stopped so lets quit accusing the failures of drug delivery etc for the problem. The arrogant human stupidity that is spreading this disease needs all of our attention.
If I were to suggest that playing in the sewer was lots of fun and simply tell the kids that putting on rubber boots created "safe sewer play" equipment you would find me a dispicable person when I lead a booted class of kids into the sewers to play. There are activities and behaviors that are inherently dangerous and destructive. Making counter argument does not change the facts that these are dangerous.
Every time HIV spreads we find people engaging in behaviors which we know spread the disease. Yes I am a medical expert on this! Yes I know all the counter arguments. They have millions of people dying! I know that stopping the transmission works. HIV patients need quarrantined (home bound etc) for their own protection from secondary diseases. Even treating them in the Hospital is a threat to their safety. They will not spread HIV and we don't need to treat them for the horrid illnesses they get when their failed immune systems contact the general world about them. Suggesting otherwise is to deny them the general protection of reverse isolation quarrantine that we do for other immuno compromised patients such as chemo therapy and transplant patients.
Congratulations to Scaled Composites and their supporters! This is a great day for American Innovation. Finally we start going back to space without the Government keeping us from doing it right.
Being a long time student of windmills, you can do some simple math and determine the amount of energy and other issues. Essentially about 33% of the energy of the mass of wind is extracted.
As to environmental effects. Such large turbines have numerous problems that tend to make them a mistake to build. These include vortex instabilities around the turbine, Low frequency "Whooshing" noises which bother people for miles and worst of all they are just plain unstable. The problem is that such a fan requires adjustments for the discontinuities of the wind velocity from top to bottom. Since the wind can be more than 3 times as fast at the top of such a fan as at the bottom this is a real problem. In addition the large turbines present a great problem due to their low speeds of angular rotation with large birds. Trees have no similarity in their behavior.
At the size of this one it will either run in front of the tower and jar itself to bits or it will run behind the tower and cause massive whooshing or whopping noises.
The worst feature of windmills is that they work when they want to. This makes them tend to unbalance and cause failure of the grid efficiencies with power networks. They run counter intuitive to the concept of an electric power grid which is power when you want it!
A bit of add on which will probably get forgotten by most is available since I posted. (Link to Fed Numbers Report on non immigrant visas) This is dynamite it says 1.1 Million non-immigrant visas issued 2003. It also says between the lines more than 2 million family visas issued for these people as sponsors. YES they can sponsor immigrants even though they are non-immigrants. Then the immigrants can sponsor them!
Current mismanagement of US Visas is causing the USA to import about 8 million persons a year though the official numbers appear lower the US Census data shows the population increase and Americans are not breeding that much!
This represents in workforce the displacement from work of about 12 million Americans since the Bush Administration took office! This is Genocide against a nation's own population.
The government works hard to obscure the visa applications and numbers so that getting a full handle on the issue is hard. I will try to give you an approximate estimate of what is going on.
The USA has Family visas associated with spouses and financees and relatives which account for the inport of about 3 million annually. No firm or accurate numbers are published here on these. This number is rising rapidly. The USA has Non-Immigrant visas officially stated for 2003 at 1.1 million. The USA admits to illegal immigration having trippled since 2001. The numbers officially admitted then were about 1 million a year. US Census data showed from 1990 to 2000 that the US Population rose from 244.5 million to 281.4 million. US birth rates indicated a population increase of 2 million leaving 34.9 million by immigration. (Dividing that is 3.49 million per year) It is notable that the Census missed this number low in their estimates due to a runup of Illegal Immigration in the last 4 years of that decade by 11.4 Million persons!
This leaves the rate of Immigration running at about 5 million a year in 2001. US LEGAL immigration has increased by over 2 million since that time and Illegal is up by 3 times. Illegal Immigration was running something in the order of 2 million a year. It is now about 6 million. Sorry for being a bit detailed in the fact looks but they are important.
The claim of extremist laid on those who suggest proper controls are in order is just wrong. It is the extremists who defend what is going on! This is threatening our survival as a nation in so many ways.
To be succinct the US is getting 300 million people here in about the next 35 years per this policy. That means we have to build and supply a whole new USA on top of this one while working with the current one. To compare this in ratio terms we will handle a demographic change in the USA in the next 35 years equal to the past 500 years! In the words of a wonderful lady from the University of Kiev (Ukraine) "That will annialate your culture."
I did not fail to issue the "fair" issue. Look up www.fairtax.org if you want to go into that in depth. It's in there.
I met a man at Lowes yesterday who is retired and quite rich who pays no income tax due to how he invests. (Tax free bonds etc) The Fair Tax makes him pay. So get off the stupid arguments. He doesn't like the fair tax because for once he would have to pay.
I have held a securities license in the past as well has having worked for the Revenue Department of the State of Alabama. I know this stuff in depth. Your opposition for failing to look to the lower class is just not right. The lower class is like my daughter taking her first job. Not counting anything but her federally mandated employment taxes she loses more than 21%. Under the Fair tax she would not only get her full check and be free to save it as she wanted, but even paying 21% Sales Tax she would be better off but under the Fair Tax she would also get a massive REBATE from the Feds. Her income would rise something like $4500 a year! This is the possibility to go to College etc that does not exist now! It is the chance to finance that business and get started in life she cannot do now. It is the chance to save money and buy that house she cannot hope to buy now because the feds take her money before she even gets the check. This ignorance about the Fair Tax has got to stop. The only thing that stops is the Social Manipulation by Federal Taxation that is going on like the war against marriage called the Marriage Tax Penalty.

Get real the 21% fair tax more than does the solution! It is lower than the lowest of the current payroll taxes. It shifts the burden to a more even collection system and cuts dramatically the cost of collections. I worked for the State of Alabama Department of Revenue, Sales and Use Tax division and the overhead to collect an income tax is about 60% of gross collections while the overhead to collect a sales tax is 4%. Get your head out of your ignorance long enough to realize that the Fair taxe is the ONLY way to solve the issue of US Trade and Taxation as now situatited. The US Tax system as now organized is debased and collapsing. Its collections dropped 4% in 2003! It cannot be maintained as it prosecutes a trade war against the Citizens of the USA.
Dear President Bush/Senator Kerry. Do you believe in the right of the people of the United States of America under the US Constitution to determine their own laws, taxes and rules for trade? If so why do you vote to place us under the dictatorship of the WTO in Zurich Switzerland who has the authority to fine us and for such laws? If not how soon are you going to pull us out of the WTO?
The whole metric thing is a stupid argument. Have you ever bought 453 grams of salt? I have.

Land and distances and measures of it are and always will be arbitrary and whatever they were from the beginning. Scientists will aways fuss but it is irrelevant.
Dear President Bush/Senator Kerry. The culture of the islamic world is failing utterly to provide adequate food and water for their people and their ideology is failing them too.

What do you think we should be doing about this and how do you intend to provide the children of the world with a better view to the future?
Dear President Bush/Senator Kerry. I am an American Citizen. My wife is a Perminant Resident Alien. We must mark up our wages 150% in order to pya the high federal taxes. Due to the Free Trade Agreements we must compete against foreign goods and services brought into our market TAX FREE. What are you going to do about this Trade War being leveled against us by the United States Government banning us from our own market by such punative tarrifs on our wages while our foreign competition is tax free?
Dear President Bush/Senator Kerry. You have called for full implementation of the 911 Report Recommendations. As you are aware the 911 Report fingered America's porous borders and Illegal Immigration as the key to any successful Homeland Security effort. It was discussed in the White House in January 2001 and it was noted that no other measures would be of any value unless this situation was corrected. With Illegal Immigration running at 3 times the rate it was running on 9/11/2001 how would you rate the efforts taken to date to contain this problem and what are you going to actually begins correcting this?

The truth on H-1B is that the US Government begain for the first time enforcing the law in mid March of 2004! Not before. Before that it was wide open. The visa totals were as much as 100,000 higher than the law allowed. For about 2 months they enforced this law and those were the best two months of job creation in the Bush Presidency. Then they started cheating. They issued over 200,000 renewals and wavers on J-1 which leads to H-1B allowing people to stay here and look for work when out of status on J-1. They also opened the Illegal Immigration by stopping enforcement.
Currently US Illegal Immigration is running at a level 3 times that of 2001! The Bush Administration is cheating H-1B and L-1 etc by bargaining numbers into the FTA's (Free trade agreements) they are having with about 50 nations. This is opening the barn doors wide open.
The USA in the 911 report noted that in January 2001 The Bush team discussing terrorism noted that there was no way any measures would be effective against terrorism unless America's porous border situation was brought into check. Translation it means that nothing is of any value in the War on Terror unless we fix illegal immigration by stopping it. The Bush team is claiming to be fighting a war on terror that they know that they are not even fighting.

The size of the US Space Shuttle was actually determined by the limitations imposed by the Solid Rocket Boosters. --> The size of the SRB's was determined by the fact that the plant which made them was in Utah and there was a Rail Road tunnel in the way to the cape. --> The size of the tunnel was determined by the construction of the Transcontinental Rail Road in the 1860's and by the width of a Standard Gage Train Track. --> The width of a train track owes its history to the width of a standard mine cart or wagon from the old English days. --> The width of the wagon from old English days was determined by the width of the ruts in the old English roads from antiquity. --> The width of the ruts in old English roads was determined by the width of a Roman Chariot which by no coincidence was determined by the width of the two horses that pulled the chariots.
So the Roman Standards for War Chariots determined by the width of two horses rumps was a determining factor in the NASA and Russian Space Shuttles dimensions. The reason the Russion one was larger even by increments was it was intended to be bigger.

Why do I call it unscientific? Simple~! The reason for science is that you believe you can if method and learning advance sufficiently obtain any information in the universe. Do I need to state that saying you cannot obtain some information is Unscientific?
This is the most modest of advice here. Actually a good measure would be to cover the keyboard with a disposable cover and replace it often but that would as you say make more trash etc.
Have you seen the waste stream from a medical facility. Shall we say that creating more waste to burn is a well proved solution!! Actually in Africa it appears that a lot of HIV transmission is the product of their thriftiness and they reuse syringes etc. But throwing it away isn't a solution is it.
The ignorance of the dirtiest of places in the world is killing people like germ warfare. In approximate order the dirtiest items we encounter in daily life are:
Sponges used in cleaning
Money
Telephones
Computer keyboards But of course you can hardly expect people to dispense with (Gasp Money!) some of these things so Washing hands will have to do for some level of control. Air handling units are another really NASTY thing.
