...When Bessemer went to push them into the ladle, he found that they were steel shells: the hot air alone had converted the outsides of the iron pieces to steel. This crucial discovery led him to completely redesign his furnace so that it would force high-pressure air through the molten iron using special air pumps. Intuitively this would seem to be folly because it would cool the iron. Instead, the oxygen in the forced air ignited silicon and carbon impurities in the iron, starting a positive feedback loop. As the iron became hotter, more impurities burned off, making the iron even hotter and burning off more impurities, producing a batch of hotter, purer, molten iron, which converts to steel more easily....He realised that the technical problem was due to impurities in the iron and concluded that the solution lay in knowing when to turn off the flow of air in his process so that the impurities were burned off but just the right amount of carbon remained. However, despite spending tens of thousands of pounds on experiments, he could not find the answer.[7] Certain grades of steel are sensitive to the 78% nitrogen which was part of the air blast passing through the steel.
I don't know precise formulas for 19th century steelmaking, but I know right where to look in a library. There's was a PhD in the family for metallurgical engineering. Now materials science. I'd feed myself, won't freeze to death.
Katrina was a Cat 5 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. You think the US Sec State might have to pay some serious attention to some US Embassies in foreign countries getting torn up all along the way into the Gulf. Bahamas. Jamaica. Heard of them? They have US embassies and missions, too.
White guy who attended a Historically Black College on a Minority Scholarship. To make real long story brief, Federal lawsuits against Old Dominion Univ. and Norfork State Univ. for state schools so close geographical, opposites racially. There were some extra scholarship money to help balance the schools in 80-90's. My first year of college was Norfork State. Lived in the dorms. I made a ton of great friends. People at NSU bent over backward to try to make me feel at home. Terrific experience.
Condi Rice is as black as Barack Obama's corporate lawyer wife. Condi Rice is utterly detested by her fellow black folks for going on a NYC Ferragamo shoe shopping spree and catching a Broadway Musical Comedy, Spamalot, quite literally as Hurricane Katrina came ashore in New Orleans and her brothers and sisters were fighting for their lives. Quite literally fiddling while Rome burned. You forgot, huh? Here's snopes.com to reminds you...
"...That evening, upon arriving at the Palace Hotel, I flipped on the television. Indeed, the hurricane had hit New Orleans. I called Henrietta, who said that the main issue was making sure our people were safe. She'd also convened a departmental task force because offers of foreign assistance were pouring in. I called Secretary of Homeland Security Mike Chertoff, inquiring if there was anything I could do. "It’s pretty bad," he said. We discussed the question of foreign help briefly, but Mike was clearly in a hurry. He said he'd call if he needed me. I hung up, got dressed, and went to see Spamalot.
The next morning, I went shopping at the Ferragamo shoe store down the block from my hotel, returned to the Palace, and again turned on the television. The airwaves were filled with devastating pictures from New Orleans. And the faces of most of the people in distress were black. I knew right away that I should never have left Washington."
The Higgs Boson was supposed to have an Earth-shattering Kaboom.
They found something that they called a Higgs Boson, but what they found doesn't have the earth-shattering kaboom the Mathematical Physicists predicted it would.
Every attack on multi-vitamins paid for by pharmaceutical companies
They can't get away with trying to attack Vit C or D individually. So try they try to attack multi-vitamins. The pharmaceutical companies want your to spend lots of money on their drugs, not pennies on multivitamins
The media is full of GOP shutdown coverage. How people break on GOP shutdown issue is almost completely different than how people break on NSA spying. The people mad about GOP shutdown don't seem to be talking about the NSA while expressing shutdown anger.
Federal prosecutors knowingly threatened a physically small guy with no criminal record with decades of prison rape for what could be described at worst a non-violent, victimless crime.
We got lots of evidence (more than enough to show probable cause) showing Obama gave orders to large groups within Federal Government in Homeland Security and FBI to lead local/state police on the ground in sweeping out all the Occupy groups in late night raids when nobody would be watching on TV.
It was highly illegal for Obama to give orders to Federal Government personnel to lead local police against those protesters. It's was made legal later after Obama had gone after Occupy protesters.
"The disclosure by a person, usually an employee in a government agency or private enterprise, to the public or to those in authority, of mismanagement, corruption, illegality, or some other wrongdoing.
Since the 1960s, the public value of whistle-blowing has been increasingly recognized. For example, federal and state statutes and regulations have been enacted to protect whistleblowers from various forms of retaliation. Even without a statute, numerous decisions encourage and protect whistleblowing on grounds of public policy. In addition, the federal False Claims Act (31 U.S.C.A. 3729) will reward a whistleblower who brings a lawsuit against a company that makes a false claim or commits Fraud against the government.
Persons who act as whistleblowers are often the subject of retaliation by their employers. Typically the employer will discharge the whistleblower, who is often an at-will employee. An at-will employee is a person without a specific term of employment. The employee may quit at any time and the employer has the right to fire the employee without having to cite a reason. However, courts and legislatures have created exceptions for whistleblowers who are at-will employees.
Whistleblowing statutes protect from discharge or discrimination an employee who has initiated an investigation of an employer's activities or who has otherwise cooperated with a regulatory agency in carrying out an inquiry or the enforcement of regulations. Federal whistle-blower legislation includes a statute protecting all government employees, 5 U.S.C.A. 2302(b)(8), 2302(b)(9). In the federal civil service, the government is prohibited from taking, or threatening to take, any personnel action against an employee because the employee disclosed information that he or she reasonably believed showed a violation of law, gross mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public safety or health. In order to prevail on a claim, a federal employee must show that a protected disclosure was made, that the accused official knew of the disclosure, that retaliation resulted, and that there was a genuine connection between the retaliation and the employee's action.
Many states have enacted whistleblower statutes, but these statutes vary widely in coverage. Some statutes apply only to public employees, some apply to both public and private employees, and others apply to public employees and employees of public contractors...."

... Assange revealed to be exactly like all the other guys working in IT right now. Real shocker.
Obama has allowed much of Bush-Cheney's Intelligence policy/personnel to remain in place, but it was implemented by Bush & Cheney.
All The NSA surveillance as helped to break one single real terrorist suspect... not one.
That's including the big pile of really dubious suspects the FBI has been bringing in lately.
The only thing the NSA really watching all their political opponents. Outside the US and inside.
Even a small chance of this leading to nuclear fusion piston-powered P-51 NukeMustangs must be supported!
Nya.

Obama simply refuses to admit on the record Assange or Snowden has been arrested. Refuse to say anything to the press but "No comment" about it.
Like the US Gov't has handled questions about Israel's nuclear weapon arsenal for 4 decades.
This is so important they are personally volunteering to clean-up the mess left by the disaster at Fukushima? Right?
Oh... they NOT volunteering to clean up any of the radioactive mess caused by Fukushima.

Just what is the real credibility of US FBI Agents as witnesses these days?? Hmmm...
Let's see if what real evidence show up.
Now add in all Israeli intelligence operative assigned to spy on the USA
I got raised in VA in 70's and 80's. After Deliverance "squealed" into the mass consciousness, we thought of W Va as banjo people.
Guess what music the kids are playing now I hate right now, by the way...
Maybe you should consider just eating roasted coffee beans.
Get a whole bunch more temps, and more weapons.
More weapons. More Ammo.
They'll fight being dragged out their New Guilded Age kicking and screaming the whole way.
