Overnight Open Thread (11-26-2014)Latest Trend in #Ferguson Protests: Blocking America's Highways Dozens of UCSD students brought traffic to a halt on northbound Interstate 5 Wednesday morning to protest the decision of a grand jury in Ferguson, Mo., not to indict a white policeman for killing an unarmed black teenager. I'll say it right now: This is such an egregious and deliberate provocation and harassment of innocent people that I will not convict anyone who assaults or even kills these kind of protesters. Obama Publicly Admits He Acted Extra-Constitutionally "Listen, you know -- here. Can I just say this, all right? I've listened to you. I heard you. I heard you. I heard you. All right? Now I have been respectful, I let you holler. All right? So let me just -- nobody is removing you. I have heard you, but you have got to listen to me, too. All right? And I understand you may disagree, I understand you may disagree. But we have got to be able to talk honestly about these issues, all right? 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot' Was All A Lie But truth must bow down before the revolutionary narrative. The forensic evidence collected at the scene includes blood droplet spatter that suggests Michael Brown did in fact turn and then advance upon Officer Wilson.
Remembering Johnny 'Mike' Spann 13 years ago yesterday he was the first American killed in the war on terrorism in Afghanistan. The story of this small band of men has been told, but not told enough. And his interrogation of Johnny Walker Lindh minutes before the uprising may have been one of his last conversations: Spann [to Dave]: Yeah, he won't talk to me. ![]() ![]() Out: 'Unlawful Combatants' At any rate, the new nomenclature seems pretty silly, and the need to change from unlawful combatant non-existent. Don't blame the Department of Defense for it, although we can certainly wonder why it took them five years to catch up to the changes (and what may have prompted the recent action). That silliness comes from one of America's great resources of silliness and meaningless redefinitions of perfectly suitable language - from your elected officials on Capitol Hill. On the plus side, we can now ask terrorists to check their unprivilege as they enter the detention system, or something. 26 ace years ago you had mentioned finding dirt on reporters and treating them to It the way they treat the population. I've thought about doing this in the past but the most useful dirt and details might also open up legal issues. Perhaps if there was a public version and then a private membership version with complete details... Also it appears that the NYT reporters who revealed Darren Wilson's address have now been doxxed. But while the quotas for Jews are gone, the Ivy League now, by all accounts, has quotas for Asian students. They are seen as people who study too hard, boring grinds who aren't much fun - and, of course, their parents aren't as rich and connected. And though the numbers of highly qualified Asian applicants have grown dramatically, the number of Asians admitted stays pretty much the same every year. From the graph it's clear that Caltech did not get onboard with the Asian quota train. Jackie Chan DVDs Help Boost Solar Panel Efficiency I was skeptical when I first saw the headline but the results seem to be legit. The biggest improvement comes in the near IR range which means that light between 800nm and 1000nm which was essentially wasted before now gets converted into electrons. Apparently the pit pattern on a blu-ray disk is great at helping trap photons, rather than reflecting them. Applying this pattern to the glass in a solar panel can boost efficiency by 22%. Researchers at Northwestern tested this system with Jackie Chan discs. From the article: "To increase the efficiency of a solar panel by 22%, the researchers at Northwestern bought a copy of Police Story 3: Supercop on Blu-ray; removed the top plastic layer, exposing the recording medium beneath; cast a mold of the quasi-random pattern; and then used the mold to create a photovoltaic cell with the same pattern....The end result is a solar panel that has a quantum efficiency of around 40% - up about 22% from the non-patterned solar panel." How do you know you're at your parents' house? The wifi password is long, complicated & written on a piece of paper no one can find. The Group knows what you did.
