57 Here's a puzzler:

How many professional athletes are there in America? Male and female separate.

I don't know the answer, was just wondering.

I'd define a "pro athlete" as making a living at it, so at least $50K a year. And that's cash, not other compensation (like college scholarship) that is harder to evaluate.

And which sport has the most "pro athlete" jobs? For men I'm pretty sure it's baseball once you add up all the minor leaguers, for women ... I don't know.

155 I have to admit living in the Metro St. Louis area has given me an inspiration on how to get all my pesky home repair projects done.

We are leaving Wednesday for Thanksgiving out of town. When I leave, I plan to erect a large sign in my front yard:

Dear Looters....this house is owned by the Man. Do not burn it down. Thank you. The Man.

And when I return I can get all my home repair projects done by cashing the insurance check and paying someone to do them.

239 OT - did some reading into House Intelligence Report on Benghazi

- Focuses on the CIA's (Intelligence Community) involvement in the 9/11 attacks in Benghazi
- It says that the CIA actions on the ground (without authority up the command chain) were appropriate and "saved lives"
- The report is exculpatory for the Intelligence Community, but makes no such statements as to the State Department, DOD or the Administration.

- "there was no INTELLIGENCE failure prior to the attacks" --- left unsaid is that STATE should have understood that given the increased threat environment, that on 9/11/12 State Department resources should have been on high alert

- Finding #2: "CIA provided sufficient security personnel, resourses, and equipment to defend against the known terrorist threat and to enable CIA operations in Benghazi. There is no evidence that the CIA turned down requests for additional security resources at the Annex". --- ie failures the State Department annex were State problems, not CIA problems

- Finding #3: "State Department security personnel, resources, and equipment were unable to counter the terrorist threat that day, and they required CIA assistance" -- "The DS agents (State Department) also told CIA about their requests for additional resources that were pending with the US Embassy in Tripoli. The CIA security contractors noted the security flaws of the TMF."

- Finding #4: "The CIA was not collecting and shipping arms from Libya to Syria"... - "no evidence that the CIA conducted unauthorized activities in
Benghazi and no evidence that the IC (Intelligence Community
shipped arms to Syria.
- Finding #6: "Appropriate personnel on the ground in Benghazi made the decision to send CIA officers to rescue the State Department officers at the TMF." --- this finding reflects nothing about what State or DOD may or may not have done / prevented in terms of rescue/extraction. - this is one the key reasons for the report as written, to exculpate CIA ground personnel

Finding #7: "...no officer at CIA was ever told to stand down" --- this does not consider what non-CIA assets in theatre were ordered to do/not do


- "the Administratrion's initial public narrative on the causes and motivations for the attacks were not fully accurate" - early on there were a wide range of intelligence on what may have been behind the attack

- "the process used to generate the talking points HPSCI asked for - and which were used for Ambassador Rice's public appearances - was flawed"

- Finding #12: "Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell made significant changes to the talking points."

- Finding #13: CIA did not intimidate or prevent any officer from speaking to Congress or otherwise telling his story. --- this is not exculpatory for State or the Administration...

Any reporting that says that this clears the Administration is probably taking its language from the "Minority Views" (Appendix 2) which was not in the PDF that I reviewed.

I won't be fired-not for that. My "boss" (off site)
wouldn't be caught dead reading a conservative blog. He's actually a very nice man. I might be fired because I objected to have to fill out my yearly paperwork and put myself in a category. Am I theologically a "literalist", an "evangelical" a "moderate" or a "liberal". I didn't like to put myself in a box and told him so. He said. "That why we have room on the back for explanations." We never had to do that before.This was combined with a note I saw in my bosses off from his boss saying. The Bishop will meet at ________ at 8:00 with pastors "deeply involved" with the community. The bishop will meet at 9:00 with "average" pastors. I thought "average" was a poor and tactless choice of words and I wanted to ask "Is the Bishop expecting us to turn in our weekly sales figures too?".

Sorry. More information than you needed, I know.

Sounds about right. Although, this bunny's best moment came when he jumped onto a 5-gallon pail of wall spackle. The lid flipped up and in went bunny rabbit. Then, of course, he jumped out and shook himself. We were finding dried spots of plaster on the walls, furniture, etc. for years afterward.

I was thinking it was either that (feeling threatened) or the logistics of having the jurors, judges, lawyers in one place at one time. Were I in charge of the security detail I'd have all the above take cabs to the courthouse in the morning and then stagger them out in the afternoon. The jurors may not even be going home for a while after this. Oddly, if there is a decision to charge they'll still riot. And then we get to do this all over again with a trial.

Because the class of people that engage in this kind of protest typically do not work for a living. Some may be Marxist students, with their way paid by stupid, doting parents.

I do understand, and the thing about this all is that in the end all decent people would want to help another man that suffers unfairly due to brutality or mistreatment by another.
There are real problems, we all know this. But these problems are not police brutality (yes it does occur, but it's the exception, not the norm). So the real problems are being tossed aside and all this effort and time is being spent on a show, resulting in who knows how much property damage and violence and possibly worse, to a wasted end.

All the while the real problems are ignored and escalate.
This is a terrible thing for basically everyone involved, and they are fanning the flames and throwing on the gas.
It's very sad.

336 Yes if you were to ask the minority residents of places like Ferguson, I think you would find the majority of the minority both back the police and appreciate their presence. What these looters want is no policing. No go areas in these communities would become kill zones worse than Chicago, and that would be out fault too I guess. These people (yes, I mean that in the perjorative sense) are really insane. They cannot be mollified. Baracka supports them. Tells me everything i need to know.

341 The jurors "should" do the right thing, just like Wilson should be able to keep his job and his home, but that ain't the country we live in nowadays. I don't blame the jurors for considering their own lives and the lives of their children when making the decision. We aren't all born to be martyrs to the cause.

Posted by: Lincolntf at November 22, 2014 06:47 PM (2cS/G)

342 314 -- wheatie -- I theory, no. The vote for a 'bill' (or 'no bill') is a majority-based decision, with the number of grand jurors typically being an 'odd' number of people; the odds of a 'dead-locked' panel being near zero.

The GJ'ers (basically) see the same sorta evidence that a prosecutor would present to a (regular) empaneled jury... let's call a mini-pretrial.

The part that doesn't add up (to me) is that by this point in time, all of the available evidence should have been presented... the actual interplay (argument) between the GJ'ers normally only takes a day (at most) to vote a bill up or down.

Something is happening outside the normal dynamic... the only question now is this: is the delay being instigated at the local, state, or national level?

I special ordered my last two Fords, because I wanted manual transmission and gas engine, everything on the lot was automatic turbo diesel at 55K plus.
Now they don't even offer manual transmission on a "super doody".

I used to work for a dealership years ago and you are correct. It's just hard to work the very best deal, especially when what I want is more than 250 miles away. That is almost beyond what most dealers will do for a dealer trade.

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in my pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate

Of course, the latest vehicle is a 27 year old Ramcharger. Looking to replace my 92, found this through an estate sale.

It had 21k, and was used to pull a boat a few miles to a lake.

The owners wintered in Fla, so it sat in a warm garage during snow season, and has absolutely NO rust.

Get it appraised first so you know what it's worth. Get the dealer to give you a trade in value before you even start talking about the car you came to buy.

Posted by: Duke Lowell at November 22, 2014 08:58 PM (KFdZd)

513 I hate buying new cars. My wife requires one though because SHUT UP!. That being said, I always go in and give the invoice price to the dealer or as much as $500 less than invoice. The dealership can make their money on kickbacks from the Mfgr. Still, you drive the new car off the lot and it is suddenly your piece of shit that is worth 20% less than 5 minutes before. Makes no sense to me.

Ya, well, I stumbled into an internet argument about 'science!' vs 'intelligent design' and I thought if one were to stumble across a very young planet with a high concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and one wanted to terraform said planet, well why not air drop some Cyanobacteria into the soup.

You would then introduce carbon based DNA, and reduce atmospheric CO2 levels, and increase O2 levels.

When you return in a few hundred million years, air drop a few more strands of DNA into the soup. Of course it could all be accidental since 'shirt guy' and his team with the comet lander claim to have found amino acid molecules on the comet. Said amino acid molecules might well be nothing more than a collection of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and a few other atoms. Sixteen is all that is required I think and twelve of them are contained in the stream of atoms and ions blown off the surface of the sun. So random chance seems to suggest that amino acid molecules should not be unexpected.

Which led to the smallest genome question.
Candidatus Hodgkinia cicadicola Dsem at 169 genes as listed in the wiki.

The genome of M. genitalium consists of 525 genes in one circular DNA of 580,070 base pairs seems a bit much for random chance, but given enough time and opportunity probability theory suggests that anything is possible.

I have a Kubuntu disc that I downloaded and burned, and successfully used to install Kubuntu onto a laptop, but I cannot get it to boot from the CD drive on this machine. Any suggestions? Somewhere I have a bootable disc for the 3.25" floppy that Cd-rom support, and that is probably the answer.

529 Because the class of people that engage in this kind of protest typically do not work for a living. Some may be Marxist students, with their way paid by stupid, doting parents. Some are professional criminals. Some are paid "community organizers", and most are probably welfare recipients. There will always be a few who hold some sort of job, but I'd bet you dollars to donuts they are a small minority.

537 ...and the random walk through the internet led to the deep sea vents (venting very warm water into the deep ocean) and the cluster of life surrounding said vent.

Seems there is a shrimp with heat sensors that can cluster near the vent, and a bacterium that can extract energy from hydrogen sulfide in the vent. The shrimp feeding on the bacteria, and the shrimp being eaten in turn by deep sea fish.

623 I'm enjoying some juice called 'Frosting' by Halcyon... a bit sweeter than 'Journey' (Lazarus Vintage), but just as deep.

5.6w for the Frosting, about 9.5w for the Journey (it has a VG of 85).

634 How much RAM does the old PC have? I used to try running Linux distros on an old Win 95 machine. It took forever to load because it didn't have enough RAM.

Mint is Ubuntu with Gnome desktop. Ubuntu uses Unity desktop. I tend to like Ubuntu based distros as there's a lot of software for them. I've played around with lots of flavors of Linux. I've run it on Power PC Macs too.

638 "In which case a CD-only drive wouldn't read it, right? I should have an IDE DVD drive I could use.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon"

BIOS on some of those old systems may or may boot from cd, that may also be issue.

It is possible in such cases to install boot loader on floppy that points to the cdrom for the system. I'm sure the files are out there but you would have to do some searching and it would be a trick to find all the right pieces, write the floppy and get it all to work.


I remember doing this years ago.


Tell you a story. I have been using Linux for years, I love it. Started playing with it back like 1997 or 8 I think. The first Linux system I installed was downloaded over the course of a few months mostly at my place of work because back then internet access was limited and by analog dial up, written to floppy's for installation. This was a stack of floppy discs at least two feet high. Must have been 100 of them. When I finally collected them all and had then organized I got to run through the installation process, loading one, hitting enter, watching it spin, ejecting, loading another... etc.

Wow, amazing that it worked. And to see how ubiquitous it is today, is pretty cool.

Good times, good times.

641 Ferguson police should announce they are deploying Claymores at key locations downtown, and will use them if the need arises.

Then, they should use them when the need arises.
