School officials refused to make any comment about the allegations in the lawsuit. As such, the publicly-known facts are tremendously one-sided at this point.


Take a deep breath folks. Many of these issues that seem ridiculous according to the telling of one side turn out to be missing more than a few relevant facts.

There are two ways that a misrepresentation might be involved here. One is that the teacher is lying to us, the other is that the kids lied to the school board in their complaints.

You are totally right on that one Byron. That's why I see those stocks in such a temporary light. Buy those stocks cheap when you first notice they are going to move up, and be patient, but not too patient. Unload them when the price is high. Then you've made a tidy profit and got out before you have to eat a big loss.

Yeah, if only I had put $1000 in bitcoin when they were $0.02 each.

Would have made $5 million at current prices.

Of course when bitcoins were $0.02 each there weren't enough to buy $1000 worth.

Most of the fee

But $50m is small change next to the opportunity being opened up here. The death of myspace didn't end the availability of easy to use home page sites, it just gave rise to userland, blogger and clones and when those went crappy they turned int Wordpress and then we had Facebook.

People buy these Web properties thinking they are a money making machine like a record label churning out hit band after hit band. What they actually have is a hit band and most times a one hit wonder.

Scott, Lerner was placed on administrative leave. Which is likely as much as the administration can do to her under civil service rules because she is career civil service not an appointee.

I can't see any mention of a promotion. Occasionally the way that someone is dismissed from the career civil service is that they are promoted to an appointed slot. That is how the Clintons got rid of Linda Tripp. They promoted her to an appointed slot and then let the Bush crew can her. They knew Bush would fire her because Tripp had previously been the source that disclosed Bush senior's extra marital affair as president. The reason Tripp was so keen to get tapes on Clinton was that she had failed to nail Bush senior.

Lerner is done as far as working for the IRS is concerned. But she will probably hang on till she gets her full pension rights.

The idea that Issa is going to have her prosecuted for contempt of Congress is rather silly. He does not get to make that decision. The theory that a witness waives their rights by making a statement only goes back to the McCarthy era. It has never been tested in court and nobody particularly wants to try. Forcing her to testify will de facto give her immunity from prosecution.

But it is all nonsense anyway as the GOP has already decided to impeach over Benghazi despite the fact that nobody can explain what Obama is meant to have done that was illegal.

Back in the early days of the net there was a chain letter 'Make money fast' that appeared. A little while later, this started to circulate:

Oh don't get me started.

When I was involved in various efforts to stop email spam we had lots of industry meetings and round tables trying to tackle the problem.

Guess what every one of them thought it would be 'amusing' to serve...

Someone compiles all news items and decides what we will have access to and always from one viewpoint or another. Consequently and also through experience of lying charlatans such as politicians I have a deep distrust of most media presented items. I also have an inconvenient long memory and this helps to consolidate my attitude. I wouldn't be surprised if this paragon of unbiased presentation and virtue didn't have some nasty skeleton clanking around in the closet. I feel there is a possible degree of hypocrisy when devotees of a site dedicated to sex points fingers at celebrity indulgences.

I have no problem with politicians having an affair or six on the side. They should have given Bill an incentive plan, a nubile virgin to deflower for each month the deficit is cut by x% or is eliminated.

What does infuriate is when the party that has claimed the position of national arbiter of moral standards turns out to be filled with adulterers, homosexuals and whoremongers. I have no problem at all with any of those in itself, it is when they are coupled with hypocrisy and vicious nasty attacks on people who dare to do in public what they are up to in private that they become an outrage.

Newt Gingrich impeached a President for adultery while he was doing the same.

The GOP has been pandering to the religious right for decades now. They have tried to eliminate the right to have a abortion and some of them have been trying to outlaw contraception. They have made their sexual activities fair game.

Feedback. As in the loud whining noise you hear when someone's on the radio and they go too near their radio with their telephone, or whatever.

So last week I was at my folk's house and it happened on a phone in on Radio Five Live. My Dad explained to me what did it, but even when he'd told me, I was none the wiser!

Anyone got any personal examples? And if anyone can explain what feedback is in laymen's terms...

Feedback simply means that a part of the output is going back into the input.

When you place a microphone close to a loudspeaker that is being fed by that microphone, the microphone is going to pick up a very slightly delayed version of its own signal. The amplifier is then going to take that signal, amplify it and feed it into the speakers.

If the microphone is far enough away from the speaker, the feedback sound reaching the microphone will have spread out far enough that it is quieter than the original and there will be a dampening effect.

If the microphone is too close then the oposite will happen and each time the signal is fed back into the amplifier it is going to get louder. After a few thousand cycles (a second or two) the volume will max out whatever the amplifier can produce and you will have a feedback 'howl'. The pitch of the howl will be determined by the delay in the feedback loop and the characteristics of the amp.

I still don't get how gravity makes the Earth a sphere, yet an asteroid is a lump of rock. I get that's something to do with mass and that the Earth is big. So what's the smallest thing in the universe that's a sphere?

There is a limit to how big you can build in brick before the force of gravity causes collapse, its about 12 stories which is why New York city skyscrapers have steel framed. Solid rock allows you to build higher but there is a limit there as well. A few miles depending on how steep the sides slope. Hence Mt Everest is the highest spot.

There are other factors involved. The majority of the earth is actually molten due to the decay of uranium isotopes in the core and mantle. So most of the earth is actually liquid.

Pluto is only just big enough for gravity to squash it into a rough sphere.

The earth is also a squashy sphere because the rotation on its axis causes a bulge at the equator.

The cores of Jupiter and Saturn are smoother spheres because the force of gravity is much stronger.

Asteroids are by definition not large enough to squash themselves into a sphere. What the astronomers are now calling dwarf planets are things that are midway between the two.

Pluto is still a planet though.

Never heard of him and what's the GOP?

Director's log: Day 223 Alcohol might have been the answer, if only there was some of it left. The beer ran out first, not that there was much of that to start with.

And that is reserved for a seed stock if we survive long enough...

Kate strode towards the TSA agent and the point of no return. Once past the guard she was committed: He had said he would be on the other side and he always kept his promises. Once she saw him, touched him in the flesh, the rest would be inevitable. Already an adulteress in thought, she would become one in deed. It was natural that this change should give rise to mixed feelings....
