All this is is a blogger recycling a CNN YouTube from 2010 to get some clicks (worked astoundingly well!). And according to Wikipedia, it's been vapor since 2000.
The linked question focused on rare earth elements. The context of the question #13 seems to exclude water, which is handled specifically in question #8, and which communicates much more prevalently across state lines than fossils and minerals.
The US childhood immunization schedule specifies 26 vaccine doses for infants aged less than 1 year -- the most in the world -- yet 33 nations have lower IMRs [Infant Mortality Rates]. Using linear regression, the immunization schedules of these 34 nations were examined and a correlation coefficient of r = 0.70 (p < 0.0001) was found between IMRs and the number of vaccine doses routinely given to infants.
The vast majority of post-1990 vaccines can be eliminated. The problem with vaccines is that everyone praises the polio vaccine and then sees it as a hammer to solve every problem without evaluating the risks.
The Constitutional role of the federal government is limited -- mostly civil defense and possibly also natural but high-mortality pandemics that cross state lines. The federal government has no business boosting Big Pharma profits via the Department of Education.
1. Innovation and the Economy. We need the private sector focused on ways for technology to help people, not kill them. The Internet revolution was born in the 1990's, when Clinton accelerated the "peace dividend" that Bush started, and technology companies and individuals who had previously worked in the defense industry found productive work to do. We need to do that again. We need to stop overseas interventionism, slash warfare spending, and let our technologists start the technology revolution, which could be robotics, and which the Asian countries have some leads over the U.S. already.
2. Climate Change. The gasoline tax is way too low. Automobiles carry a lot of unpaid negative externalities, and affect those -- 25%-33% -- who do not drive the most. This is the low-hanging fruit that also addresses concerns about the possible effects of greenhouse gases. We also need to encourage thorium reactors, which are safe and incapable of runaway reactions, to replace coal, which is poisoning our tuna sushi.
3. Research and the Future. Outside of defense research, this is out of the purview of the federal government.
4. Pandemics and Biosecurity. The U.S. needs to increase its civil defense and encourage individuals to be prepared. There was a smattering of this in the days after 9-11, "shelter in place" that has been forgotten in favor of ever more intrusive TSA strip searches. The U.S. should model its civil defense after Switzerland.
5. Education. Education is not in the purview of the federal government. The Department of Education should be eliminated -- this was in the GOP platform from 1980-1996 but dropped in 2000 when the Bush team rewrote the platform.
6. Energy. Direct the DOE to favor thorium reactors.
7. Food. Require GMO, anti-biotic, etc. labeling for food that crosses state lines.
8. Fresh Water. In recent years, the federal government has been conducting land grabs under the premise of fresh water but these actions have no effect on the water supply. This needs to be reversed. The term "fresh water" is misleading. All water is fresh, given enough energy. See thorium reactors. We also need to preserve our millenia-old aquifers, which are resources shared across state lines, by taxing their use.
9. The Internet. The government should play as little role as possible in the Internet. To bolster civil defense, spectrum should be allocated to enable WiFi mesh networks that can take over if large parts of the Internet go down or are taken over by rogue forces.
10. Ocean Health. Ocean health is a serious problem due to the lack of anyone or any entity having property ownership of the oceans (beyond the 200 mile boundary). The world's oceans should be auctioned off.
11. Science in Public Policy. The term "public policy" is disturbing from a Constitutional perspective, because there is very little in the purview of the federal government. But regarding the broader question of public involvement in government and the ability of the public to monitor the basis of government decisions, the greater threat is from rent-seeking than from misapplied or misunderstood science. The Library of Congress Thomas website has been a boon to those seeking to monitor the actions of government. The information from a website like opensecrets.org needs to be merged into Thomas so that the public can immediately and easily correlate rent seeking to proposed bills. The public can then be informed when they go to the polls. To close the loop, voting needs to be reformed by switching to paper ballots.
12. Space. Space is important to the federal government from a defense perspective because it is the ultimate "high ground". This aspect needs to be transferred from NASA to the Air Force. The civilian and military goals of NASA are at odds with each other, and this led in part to the deaths of two shuttle crews. The private sector can taken -- and has alread
I see you cited a couple of your points. What about this recent study where 90% of rape victims orgasm?
Looks like it may be a hoax. Still, the 2003 study holds, but without paying we do not know the details behind "Possible explanations for this phenomenon are discussed, as are its implications."
Akin's comments were tasteless and ignorant of current knowledge/data, but since no one else is coming to his defense, I will.
There are two aspects of his comments to which people take offense. To get the first out of the way quickly, "legitimate rape", the 2004 Maryland case of "delayed withdrawal of consent" is an example of "rape" that is not "legitimate".
Now, onto the pregnancy statistics. The theory that rape resulted in few pregnancies was common among conservatives, as TFA states. It came from the amlgamation of two scientific reports. First, studies have shown that female orgasm increases fertility because the vagina draws the sperm up like a conveyer belt as well as opens up the cervix. Second, until just a couple of years ago, rape victims reported orgasms in only 5-20% of cases. A recent study, however, showed that up to 90% of rape victims orgasm -- including those who could not otherwise normally orgasm. Women in previous studies were too ashamed to admit it (and in fact it's the greater psychological trauma than from having been penetrated).
This is an explanation for what was reported only in 2003, which is that the chance of pregnancy is greater with rape than with consensual.
Akin's information was out of date, was widely accepted by anti-abortion advocates (esp in the past), and had some scientific basis that was skewed due to rape victims' misreporting.
At the end of a monthly "sprint" (i.e. about once per month)
While monitoring a live system after a major release (i.e. about once per year).
Preparing for a major presentation, conducting the presentation, and then the subsequent wining and dining (assuming that counts toward the "12-16 hours") -- i.e. about twice per year.
Pretty much the shuttle is the only BIG project that they did all by themselves.
Military influence in the shuttle design process caused the shuttle to be oversized, and thus mounted horizontally relative to the fuel instead of on top of it. This led to the deaths of two crews.
Microsoft will be supporting four OS revs simultaneously until 2014: XP, Vista, W7, and W8.
BTW, playing with VS2012 this week. No borders or any visual indication of tabs on tab controls, but the tab controls are still there functioning and a central part of the UI? Microsoft has gone overboard on its "clean UI" bent. Perhaps W9 will settle on the W2K interface -- an ideal balance of chrome and, you know, actual functionality.
This is what happens when the pre-production environment is not identical to the production environment. Got egg on my face (though no direct financial cost incurred) when the production environment had that 0.01 JRE increment that addressed the new-fangled daylight saving time, and the pre-production environment did not. It caused some very strange bugs due to the change in date handling, even though it wasn't anywhere close to spring forward time. (We developers had no access to the machine, so it took a while to figure out, too.)
I just introduced my 9 year old son to Back To The Future. He was bored all through the initial setup and wanted to stop watching. Once Marty went back in time, though, he was hooked. Now he can't wait to see the next 2 movies.
Written by the last of the TRS-80 fanboys. And why did it not get the "respect it deserved"? From the authori's own article:
A bevy of games were available, too, despite the fact that the computer did only black-and-white graphics at 128-by-48, which was bare-bones even back then.
Now I must admit when it appeared in the fall 1977 Radio Shack catalog, I was excited at the prospect of being able to purchase a pre-built computer. But then as an owner of an Atari 2600, and while waiting to save the money for a TRS-80, brochures for the Atari 800 came out, and I of course waited for that. 8x the resolution, color, hardware scrolling, hardware sprites, four-channel sound, and (gasp) pixel addressing (as opposed to 2x3 "pixel" blocks of character graphics on the TRS-80).
No, Metro was supposed to be more than e.g the "Chicago" codename for Windows 95. Microsoft promotional materials showed photos of the New York subway signs to illustrate the big bold fonts and clutter-free design they were after.
Many of my real-life friends have no Facebook presence because they have cleared software jobs and have been instructed to not have social profiles or blogs in order to maintain their clearance.
Get over it. It's just a Facebook use-case bug. When you click "share" to share an image, the poster's comments don't get shared with it, so the only way to caption an image is to photoshop the text directly onto the image.
Same with cooking. With so many pre-packaged frozen meals, fresh pre-prepared ready-to-cook meals at the grocery store, vacuum-packed foods, ubiquitous drive-thrus, and universal Take Out Taxi restaurant delivery, cooking is either a lost art or relegated to holidays and "I'm going to cook today" days. The gourmet kitchen has become the SUV room of the house -- a $50k expense useful for that one excursion spent off-roading or the one blizzard of 24".
Division of labor is a double-edged sword. More cynically, one might say it is seductive, tempting the populace into comfort in exchange for reduction of self-sufficiency, independence, resilience, and sustainability.
semiaccurate.com has a lot more information. Not just the USB 3.0 group, but the USB 2.0 group as well has adopted this approved this "power delivery" spec. There are USB 2.0 PD and USB 3.0 PD icons shown in the link. So it looks to me like instead of USB 3.1 and USB 2.1, with or without PD will continue to be an option so they'll probably be known as USB 2.0 PD and USB 3.0 PD.
Also, USB 3.0 by itself has increased power availability: 900mA instead of the USB 2.0 500mA. This alone obviates the need for dual USB connectors to power an external 2.5" hard drive.
Dvorak called a similar-looking 1982 computer a "half-clamshell". Also, until just now, I had always assumed that the term "clamshell" was coined in Whoopi Goldberg's 1986 movie but a search in New York Times archives for "clamshell AND computer" turned up hits from 1983. So I can't blast Time Magazine for an anachronism.

First, from Infant mortality rates regressed against number of vaccine doses routinely given: Is there a biochemical or synergistic toxicity?
