Solve : Economy crisis? Not in Washington...? |
|
Answer» http://abcnews.go.com/WN/story?id=6142019&page=1 Justice Department Workers Visit Luxury Resorts Federal Agency Hosts Conferences Costing TAXPAYERS Millions Should federal workers learn how to work with Congress while in Washington? While many think the answer is yes, the Federal Bureau of Prisons seems to disagree. According to a new federal report, the Department of Justice agency sent 15 employees to a Hilton village beach resort in Hawaii for a congressional seminar on how to lobby the government effectively, on the taxpayer's tab, totaling $33,500. "When you're in Washington, it would seem to me that you could have a seminar here on how to effectively lobby the federal government rather than shoot them four or five thousand miles away," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who spearheaded the congressional report. The report, which was released early exclusively to ABC News, identifies thousands of Department of Justice employees who have enjoyed food, drink and fancy resorts on the government's time and the taxpayer's dollar. According to the report's findings, the Justice Department sponsored a conference on gangs nowhere near an inner city, but at the exclusive Palm Springs La Quinta resort, famous for its golf courses and "death by chocolate" BODY massages. The costs totaled more than $250,000. With the country in economic woes and the government in the midst of managing a $700 billion rescue plan funded by taxpayer dollars to STABILIZE the economy, Coburn says he found these trips extravagant. "We are in a time it this country when we can't afford excess, or double billing by workers who double dip," Coburn said. At a conference in Denver, 40 of nearly 100 Justice Department workers that were checked got reimbursed for meals, even though food was provided at the conference. Coburn's report claims that in 2006, a quarter of the Justice Department's WORKFORCE went to conferences, which the senator describes as a "pattern of poor management." "We've found over the last seven years, $10 billion in pure waste," Coburn said. "We ought to be prudent with taxpayer money." Coburn ALSO acknowledged that it is Congress' responsibility to keep the federal agency in check. "How does Congress let the Department of Justice mismanage $10 billion over the last six or seven years?" Coburn asked of his colleagues' and his own negligence on the matter. The Justice Department calls some of this report old information and told ABC News that conferences serve a legitimate purpose. "The Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that policies and procedures regarding conferences are clear and consistent and that spending is appropriate," they said in a statement to ABC News. "The Department has taken significant measures to ensure we have adequate oversight and control in this area." Washington as in, the ACTUAL Washington state? (Yes! There is a Washington without D.C. Written after it! YOU FAIL! FAIL!) Or D.C.? (District of Clumsiness) From the article: Quote "When you're in Washington, it would seem to me that you could have a seminar here on how to effectively lobby the federal government rather than shoot them four or five thousand miles away," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who spearheaded the congressional report. That leads me to believe Washington D.C. The 'Good Old Boy Syndrome' at work. What a bunch of sorry people. Just to think I felt guilty about my Veterans disability check,not anymore. Good find 'B'.... |

FBMy long LOST cousin!So you guys were watchin this while I was trippin over Chairs!! Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on October 19, 2008, 07:19:07 AM My long lost cousin! Quote from: Ivy on October 19, 2008, 07:24:52 AM So you guys were watchin this while I was trippin over Chairs!! TELL me about the chairs........ ACTUALLY We were playing a tripping game and I was busy tripping while they seemed to be multitasking , i.e. watching your Bucky Paper video.How do you make a video about Buckypaper (which is derived from a carbon structure material named buckminsterfullerene) and not mention that it's named for Richard Buckminster Fuller, one of the greatest inventor/author/ philosophers of the twentieth century?? Fuller invented the geodesic dome, AMONG other concepts.Thanks for the clarification Aegis, I was about to assume it was named after Buck Rogers since it's so futuristic The more weight placed on top of a geodesic dome the stronger the structure becomes... Another little known tidbit i learned about way too many years ago R. Buckminster Fuller was a pioneer indeed...in more ways than one.BC -- Buck Rogers was a darned fine guess! I did not know that tidbit, Patio -- yet another example of how you are smart and I am s m r t (as Homer Simpson WOULD spell it!) |

Solve : ACORN In American Politics? |
|
Answer» Scarey crap folks.Wish Obama COULD win fair,if he wins. Acorn is funded by the US Government....The democrats say they want a fair election. Acorn is funded by the US Government....It is? What PROOF do you have of that?Obama is a flipping cancer on the face of society, THINGS that he want to do would bring this country *censored* close to being a communist country. He wants to do stuff like fine anyone who doesn't have medical insurance, and many many other things that, when I think about them, ring one word in my mind; Communism.We are no longer a democratic society... We are communist. Government has total CONTROL over people, and can arrest us for whatever reason they want, heck, they dont need a reason. The government stimulates the economy by pushing money into it... theres another step in. The government controls our media. The government hides official documents from us and keeps its own secrets. The people no longer influence the governments decisions. Welcome to communism. We're no longer just sticking our feet in the water, we've gone to the bottom of the lake, and were not getting out any time soon, least, not alive. Quote from: soybean on October 12, 2008, 10:38:52 AM Quote from: street1 on October 12, 2008, 07:24:05 AMAcorn is funded by the US Government....It is? What proof do you have of that? http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=37232 In the recently passed bailout 700B originally 20% would go to ACORN. That was cut down to 4% which is 4% too much. Quote from: Zylstra on October 12, 2008, 05:31:33 PM We are no longer a democratic society... Indeed. But you forgot one of the biggest causes of my anger towards the US government: Eminent domain. Unless you were considering that when you said "Government has total control over people." And anyone remember the confiscation of legally owned guns in New Orleans? 'Nuff said right there.`` Quote from: T-Rex on October 12, 2008, 09:45:07 AM the man is trying to bring change to the country , and i can see that , when he had his speech he didn't give us a sob story like mccain.

Solve : Do you believe in "karma"?? |
|
Answer» Just a random question - does anyone here believe in karma or anything similar? Origin I agree, but I don't believe that its meant for this life,I believe what we sow here we will reap in our eternal life with Him. In this life a lot of bad things happen to good people. So If Calum meant that 'do good to others and they will do good to you' I don't believe that, I don't need to step outside the forums to state examples of this. Quote Along the same lines, what about atonement? As in, do something bad, then do good things to make up for it, do you believe that works?I think this is similar to 'repentance' and I believe in repentance, but repentance should not be doing wrong things deliberately thinking later I'll repent , that's not real repentance.The concept of "karma" is interesting, and there are many ways to interpret it. Karma is tied in with intention, and "cause and effect." I don't know if karma is set as a universal law, but yes, many believe that good deeds in this life will have effects / rewards in this life. Others believe that karma can carry over from life cycle to life cycle. The good deed or bad deeds done in this life affect our next life / state of existence. A PART of reincarnation may be in learning lessons of past lives or living a "karmic" destiny of good or bad deeds done in the past. Part of karma is in finding our destinies, according to our natures. When we "align" ourselves with the universe, things go better than when we fight against ourselves. (This is not so much meant in terms of choosing right from wrong, but meant in terms of being truly who we are -- being authentic, our true selves -- not necessarily what others think we should be.) Some feel the universe as we know it is nothing but a "game" we have all chosen to play at this level -- and once we've learned the lessons we need to learn at this level, we move on to a more spiritual level. This is part of why Buddhism, as a philosophy, recognizes the POTENTIAL for the saint to BECOME sinner, and the sinner to become saint. Some state that eternal life is life without end, but for others, it is the timelessness of this present moment which makes life "eternal." Atonement is famously broken into "at - one - ment" -- becoming one with God or the universe. Can a person atone for one's past? Certainly -- but we are back to intention, and what they truly want to do, what they truly want to become. People may even fail in their attempts at atonement, but I think it is more important that they try with a proper attitude. No need to ask why you thought of all this all of a sudden. These questions, and others, are the underpinnings of myth, religion, and philosophy from many ages and all the world over. We want to understand our place in the world and in the universe.Just so you guys know, I'm not at all a believer in any religion I know of. Good to see your views on this topic though everyone. Ivy: What I meant by "karma" isn't necessarily that you're nice to someone and they're then nice to you, but really what goes around comes around, if you're nice to someone then in some way you are rewarded, possibly by someone else benign nice to you or even finding some money.Everything you do in Life comes back to you one way or another.... Actually i no longer believe...this morning Calum's Karma ran over my Dogma. Quote this morning Calum's Karma ran over my Dogma. I've been waiting for that line the whole time! Quote from: patio on October 18, 2008, 08:40:28 AM this morning Calum's Karma ran over my Dogma.Dogma!!!!!! LOL I dunno why I fell off my chair Quote from: Calum on October 18, 2008, 08:13:39 AM if you're nice to someone then in some way you are rewarded, possibly by someone else benign nice to you or even finding some money. I see.....now I know why so many good things happen to me all the time....cause I do so many good things to others!! It goes like, I'm good to someone, he/she is not good but then someone else is superduper good......I like Karma Quote from: Calum on October 16, 2008, 01:38:40 PM does anyone here believe in karma or anything similar? I find it an ATTRACTIVE idea, have done for years, but I don't know if I "believe" in it, any more than I believe in horoscopes or God's judgement. I agree that karma is an attractive idea. I think I'm undecided but I'm not sure (now there's a cliché for you) - in the same way as I am undecided about ghosts etc despite having witnessed some odd activities myself. Interesting range of opinions here. |

Answer» LONDON (AFP) — The last remaining survivor of the Titanic disaster is auctioning mementoes from the doomed liner to pay for her nursing home fees, a newspaper said Thursday. Mods, please forgive me for my language.. but, what the h**l is wrong with people these days!? This woman has lived through the titanic, World War I, World War II, and people are still trying to squeeze money out of her?! Now why hasn't somebody wealthy stepped up and done the responsible thing by writing her a check to help her out n her last few years on earth...? That just goes to show the way this world is today I was thinking along the same lines in the moments between finishing the article, and going on to your observations!

LOLTeleportation as in time?personally if I could move my life on now I would just to see what happens after life Not that im depressed im just curiousTeleportation, David, as in place to place. First popularized on the original "Star Trek" in the 1960's, it was a money saver -- the transporter EFFECT (film dissolve) was less expensive than portraying a landing shuttle for every episode requiring a landing party mission. I saw a t.v. show a while back which speculated on the information required to move a body. The short version is that it was a matter of "only" several quadrillion or quintillion (I think) bits of information needed to encode the body into a data stream -- NUMBERS certainly within the capacities of modern information SYSTEMS. The problem isn't the data stream... its the breaking down and putting back together of the physical body. Also, when you think about it, if they can teleport raw minerals, say petrol, from place to place, why not just break it down.... Then save the stream... ....Then rebuild it as many times as you want? This is where cloning will come into effect - whats stopping them from saving *your* stream, and then making multiple copies of you?? Lol, what an interesting idea. BonesSome good arguments here....but I think it is possible!The item isn't ACTUALLY moved, it is destroyed and the energy given off from that destruction would give the device information about it's structure, enabling it to put the item back together. I wouldn't risk it myself even if it was possible, too many risks involved.Yeah, I think i'll wait 'till the 24th century. Found this: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Transporter Quote from: Site Transporters are able to dematerialize, transmit and reassemble an object.Critics of the original Trek transporter pointed out that there was no receiving apparatus, and there was a psuedo-scientific answer given was something about convergence of harmonics. One of the reasons I think it's possible is that my generation was taught about matter and energy as separate entities, but physicists are finding out that it's pretty much all energy, just in different manifestations.I really never did like star trek Why, if we could be transformed into a quadrillion bits, the first thing I'd want to be done is zipped up! Otherwise somebody might delete that huge file in my documents folder, MYLIFESTREAM.BIN". Boy, would that be a bummer! I built a transporter once. Didn't turn out so good. I can't recall the specifics, but all my subjects were turned into small vultures. Of course all of my subjects were lawyers for some reason, so some might claim that they performed the same tasks as they did before, just with less zeal. Quote from: Aegis on June 20, 2008, 08:03:07 AM Critics of the original Trek transporter pointed out that there was no receiving apparatus, and there was a psuedo-scientific answer given was something about convergence of harmonics. thus- E=mc^2, which is essentially saying Energy IS mass, as you said- but that isn't "recent" per se...No, Einstein's work isn't "recent," per se, but they didn't bother with the quantum mechanics when I was in school -- I mean, OK, you're only pretty much going to get the basic physics in elementary school, but outside of Einstein's equation, we learned about "matter" and "energy" -- no one ever winked and said they're both the same... |

Solve : Our children...? |
|
Answer» For those of you who have older children...you'll probably understand where I'm coming from...regarding this thread. However...what bothers me the most is that there are those who have the ability, but choose not to use it, because they are "comfortable" with the way things are...and are just opportunists...who take advantage of their parents...because it's easier for them to deal withThis seems to be a recurring viewpoint. Anyone with the ability, that just can't be bothered, is wasting their life and their parents' time, life and money too. I know a few people like that, and they really bug me. Aegis also raises some great points - it makes me appreciate the way that English colleges don't cost money unless you're a certain age, but then again we would start at 16, rather than 18. |

So if the tradition continues be sure to keep us updated with what strange gift you got. I still think THOUGH that wallpaper (if I remember right) as a gift would be hard to beat. It was DINOSAUR wallpaper, from what I remember Hey, Happy Birthday to you!!Thank you. Quote from: Aegis on June 11, 2008, 09:56:46 AM Oh, yes -- shelf paper -- what a relief!What a relief indeed. Heh. So far, my birthday has been very uneventful. In fact, the only semi-eventful moment has been me slightly panicking because I don't have my Psychology or Personal Development textbooks yet, and I need both of those because I've got a couple of essays for Psychology and some sort of self-assessment assignment for the other. I got my Finite Mathematics book in the MAIL, but I don't REALLY care about that one because (a) I can access the book online for free through CourseCompass and (b) I TOOK a look at the homework last night and I can do the first three chapters without even having to do any any review work. Anyway...aside from that, I've just been wandering around online and reading Running With Scissors. Exciting, I know. But my fiancé's got something planned for me tonight. As for presents...my sister got me a pocket knife (because computer nerds are always in danger of wild bears) with an 1899 penny (I collect coins) in the handle. My grandma bought me some Threadless shirts, which haven't arrived yet. I think my mom is giving me money.Happy b-day man. All the best!!Happy birthday, Chris!

Solve : TIPS ON PUMPING GAS? |
|
Answer» Someone sent me this email: I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline....Here in Since I'm a physicist by education, it got me interested, and I did some digging. Surely, the matter expands, or contracts with temp changes, but what is the practical result in buying such a small amount of gasoline, like 10, or 20 gallons? I found pretty interesting article here: http://www.users.qwest.net/~taaaz/AZgas.html Quote Gasoline volume changes approximately 0.125% for every 1ºC change in temperature (0.058%/ºF) . The energy content of a gallon of gasoline purchased by a motorist in Nome, Alaska in January could, theoretically, be as much as 8-10% greater that that of a gallon of gasoline purchased by a motorist in Phoenix, Arizona in July.Read more there.A lot of it sounds more like an urban myth to me. Especially the temperature part. Tanks are buried 2-3 meters below the ground, so it's doubtful that surface temperature has much (if any) effect on the gasoline.I checked snopes.com, and it's neutral. Quote Tanks are buried 2-3 meters below the ground, so it's doubtful that surface temperature has much (if any) effect on the gasoline.Read in my attached link. Quote Tanks are buried 2-3 meters below the ground, so it's doubtful that surface temperature has much (if any) effect on the gasoline.The only effect of being buried underground is that temperature change is delayed, either going up, or down. |

Solve : 20 Things You Didn't Know About Living In Space? |
|
Answer» http://discovermagazine.com/2007/nov/20-things-you-didn2019t-know-about-living-in-space 1 Nearly every astronaut experiences some space sickness, caused by the wildly confusing information reaching their inner ears. In addition to nausea, symptoms include headaches and trouble locating your own limbs. Just like college, really. 2 And those are the least of your worries. In weightlessness, fluids shift upward, causing nasal congestion and a puffy face; bones lose calcium, forming kidney stones; and muscles atrophy, slowing the bowels and shrinking the heart. 3 At least you’ll be puffy, constipated, and tall: The decreased pressure on the spine in zero-g causes most space travelers to grow about two inches. advertisement | article continues below 4 Lab rats sent into space during midpregnancy, while their fetuses’ inner ears are developing, spawn some seriously tipsy babies (PDF). 5 No humans have yet been conceived in space, so we can only imagine. 6 So that’s what it takes: A 2001 study showed that astronauts who snored on Earth snoozed silently in space. 7 But astronauts sleep less soundly; 16 sunrises a day throws a major wrench into their circadian rhythms. 8 And Ziggy played guitar. At the start of the workday on the space shuttle, mission control in Houston broadcasts wake-up music, usually selected with a particular astronaut in mind. On the all-work, no-play International Space Station, crews wake to an alarm clock. 9 If you are ever exposed to the vacuum of space without a suit on, don’t hold your breath: Sudden decompression would cause your lungs to rupture. 10 In addition, water on the tongue, in the nose, and in the eyes would boil away. This actually happened in 1965, when a space suit failed during a NASA experiment and the tester was exposed to a near vacuum for 15 seconds. 11 Contrary to Hollywood, though, you wouldn’t explode. LACK of oxygen in the BLOOD is what would kill you, but it would take about two minutes. 12 More explosion paranoia: Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson’s space-tourism company, reportedly considered barring women with *censored* implants due to fears that they might blow up. 13 John Glenn found it hard to choke down his food, but not because of the lack of GRAVITY: Early astronauts relied on aluminum tubes of semiliquid mush, food cubes, and dehydrated meals. 14 Today astronauts can spice up their meals with SALT and pepper—in liquid form. Sprinkled grains would float away, tickling noses and clogging vents. 15 Missing something? Those vents on the space shuttle and International Space Station serve as the lost and found, sucking up anything that’s floating about unsecured. 16 The shuttle commode requires that astronauts align themselves precisely in the dead center of the seat. A mock-up of the shuttle toilet, complete with built-in camera, is used to train them how to position themselves. 17 NASA tried building a bathroom into its space suits—a fitted condom attached to a bladder for men, a molded gynecological insert for women—but gave up and passed out diapers to all. 18 Returning astronauts report extreme difficulty moving their arms and legs right after touchdown, one reason why they call landing “the second birth.” 19 But some long-duration cosmonauts report that the hardest thing to readjust to about life on Earth is that when you let go of objects, they fall. 20 Better just to stay up there? Eighteen people have died on space missions, but never in space—always on the way up or the way down. The 19th thing I didn't know about, was a good mental cartoon for me. Boy! I would like to watch them drop stuff.... 19 But some long-duration cosmonauts report that the hardest thing to readjust to about life on Earth is that when you let go of objects, they fall. Some of those gave me a good chuckle. Nice find, eh. The diaper one almost made me laugh out loud.wah Broni you made me lose my confidence coz i wanted to be an astronaut :p hey i've been to NASA amonth ago coz i won this space competition and it's pretty cool actually. the astronauts told me that they loved it tho they do tend to get sick but it's worth it lol. solar particles also can penetrate through the orbiter and their spacesuits so even when the astronauts had their eyes close, as the solar particles penetrate trough their brain, something switched on and they can see light even when they close their eyes. pretty scary but i loved doing the space walks. it's worth being an astronaut I heard something a while back, but it could just be a rumor. #1 reason for astronaut hopefuls getting rejected... eye sight. Quote 2 And those are the least of your worries. In weightlessness, fluids shift upward, causing nasal congestion and a puffy face; bones lose calcium, forming kidney stones; and muscles atrophy, slowing the bowels and shrinking the heart.Surely, this makes longer space missions - missions lasting years - by human unfeasible, unless gravitational forces can somehow be simulated in a spacecraft. Quote from: quaxo on December 08, 2007, 08:38:29 AM I heard something a while back, but it could just be a rumor. i think that only applies to pilots. anyway, there's always laser treatments right? o.oWell you can't get into the Space program without having been a pilot so that takes care of that issue...not sure what the requirements are with corrective laser surgery. That's an interesting thought...That's something I heard years ago before laser surgery became available. I suppose that might not be true anymore if laser surgery is allowed for pilots or astronauts. Would be interesting to know. |
