Submission + - New car full of hot air?
The Installer writes: http://www.komonews.com/news/tech/46040612.html
It would seem that a French company has taken the next step in auto engineering. Some skeptics are toting the large energy expenditure for compressing the air to power the car, but this issue seems dwarfed by the fact that nothing but cold air comes out of the tail pip whilst traveling less than 35mph.

As one of the largest solar plants in the world Starwood Solar I will produce enough electricity to power more than 73,000 homes and is scheduled for completion by 2013.
Submission + - AGW 'skeptic' produces hard data; nobody notices
MyFirstNameIsPaul writes: "Anthony Watts, a meteorologist from Chico, California founded a volunteer project, surfacestations.org, in 2007 with the goal of surveying all of the 1221 United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) weather stations to see how well they meet the National Weather Service's (NWS) own siting requirements. These are the stations that report the official record of temperatures here in the U.S. The project uses a network of volunteers armed with basic tools such as cameras, tape measures, GPS units, and a printout of the project's instructions to report the results of the surveys to the project.
In May, the project completed its first report with 70% of the USHCN stations having been surveyed. This report found, among other things, that 89% of the stations fail to meet the NWS requirements. Of note is that they failed in such a way that the stations would likely indicate higher temperatures. The report also discusses the poor recording processes of many stations and how the data is 'adjusted' by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and NASA.
But most disappointing is the complete lack of coverage by virtually all media. This simple and provocative investigation into the data which is at the very heart of the entire AGW theory doesn't seem to register anywhere when, at the very least, it should warrant a demand for a solid rebuttal from the theory's proponents by the media. There are some out there who are warning of the new 'Climate-Industrial Complex', of which perhaps the media is a beneficiary."

Comment The Shadow of a Shadow Government (Score 1) 192
This is not unlike alternative media channels getting suspended from YouTube for their political commentary (like TheAlexJonesChannel which had thousands of videos uploaded and millions of views that was recently suspended)...it is no big surprise that the government of Canada would want to keep their doings under wraps, as an informed public is dangerous to them and something they would actively avoid when possible. Newspapers in both Canada and the US are controlled in what they publish and so must YouTube be from the governments point of view since it now reaches so many people. Disappointed with Canadian law here, and Canadians themselves, but not surprised.
A few things i'm sure the Canadian government would prefer not be on YouTube:
A Voice for Canadians - Richard Syrett
Dr. Andrew Moulden discusses the North American Union
Crime of the Canadian Banking System
Book: The Truth About Canada
The Nation's Deathbed

Submission + - One of Our H-Bombs is Missing 4
Hugh Pickens writes: "Jeffrey St. Clair writes that on the night of February 5, 1958 a B-47 Stratojet bomber carrying a hydrogen bomb on a night training flight off the Georgia coast collided with an F-86 Saberjet fighter at 36,000 feet destroying the fighter and severely damaged a wing of the bomber. The bomber's pilot was instructed to jettison his H-bomb before attempting a landing dropping the bomb into the shallow waters of Warsaw Sound a few miles from the city of Tybee Island, where he believed the bomb would be swiftly recovered. "The search for this weapon was discontinued on 4-16-58 and the weapon is considered irretrievably lost," said a partially declassified memo from the Pentagon to the AEC, in which the Air Force requested a new H-bomb to replace the one it had lost. That's where the matter stood for more than 42 years until a deep sea salvage company disclosed the existence of the bomb and offered to locate it for a million dollars. "We're horrified because some of that information has been covered up for years," said Rep. Jack Kingston, a Georgia Republican. The bomb is most likely now buried in 5 to 15 feet of sand and slowly leaking radioactivity into the rich crabbing grounds of the Warsaw Sound. "If someone looks for it, they could set it off and cause an explosion," said Lt. Col. Frank Smolinsky. "There could be a major inferno if the high explosives went off and the lithium deuteride reacted as expected," says Don Moniak, a nuclear weapons expert with the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League. "Or there could just be an explosion that scattered uranium and plutonium all over hell.""
Submission + - Bilderberg 2009 (in Greece) (guardian.co.uk)
An anonymous reader writes: Article written by Charlie Skelton of the UK Guardian on his experiences covering the 2009 Bilderberg meeting in Greece.
Note, for the unfamiliar, Bilderberg is a secret meeting of world leaders that happens once a year and it has been going on for some 50 years or so. It is held each year in a different country (this year is Greece), always has tight security around it and generally a media blackout on the event, though some alternate media groups have been covering it for years and are often held and intimidated by local security and/or police. The UK's Guardian newspaper reporter, Charlie Skelton, may not have been fully aware of what he was getting himself into when he asked to cover this event(he was not told to do it but asked if he could and they said yes...Charlie is normally a comedic commentator on current events and perhaps he was thought of as less of a threat to the Bilderberg meeting than a regular reporter).
From the article:
""Show me your camera! Why you here?!"
They circle round. Local cops, a riot officer, two private "security" men. I looked at their lanyards: Avion Security. One of the Avion goons prods me with his walkie-talkie. "Why you here?" I tell him, wearily, that I'm a journalist. He rubs his chin and says the words that even in a 30-degree sun turn my blood to ice.
"Show me your papers.""

NE Iowa couple's computer mystery stumps experts
BY ERIK HOGSTROM, Telegraph Herald
ASBURY (AP) — Mary LaMour can't understand why her computer works at other people's homes, and outside, but not inside her house. Neither can a computer technician.
"It's uncanny," said Chuck Freisinger, of Phoenix Computer Services in Dubuque. "My other technician and I looked at that situation. When it's in their house, it doesn't work. When it's outside, it works fine. She took it to a friend's house and it worked fine."
LaMour proved it recently. Standing on her front step, she started her Dell laptop and the computer operated normally. Carrying the computer back across the front door threshold, an ominous blue screen replaces the desktop.
"This particular thing is completely out of the ordinary," Freisinger said.
The error screen reads in part:
"A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed."
The LaMours aren't computing novices. "I'm not computer crazy, I'm not one of these computer geeks," Mary LaMour said, "but we have had a computer for years."
Dick and Mary LaMour moved into their new Asbury home in February. They soon learned there was only one spot in the house the laptop would work.
"There is one place in the sun room," Mary LaMour said, "but you had to be on your hands and knees."
"The only thing that really springs to mind is electromagnetic interference," Freisinger said.
Electromagnetic interference can interrupt, obstruct or otherwise degrade or limit the effective performance of an electrical circuit.
"Perhaps the laptop is particularly sensitive to electromagnetic interference," Freisinger said.
The LaMours don't reside under any power lines, and Asbury's radio stations are not located nearby.
If there were buried power lines, why would the problem only occur inside the home, not outside?
"Alliant said it couldn't be wires underground," Mary LaMour said.
Someone suggested the LaMours encase their laptop in a combination of cardboard and aluminum foil to mitigate any possible electromagnetic effects.
"It worked for a minute," Dick LaMour said, "then it shut down again."
What else could it be?
"I was asked if I had a plate in my head — I said 'No, do you?'" Mary LaMour said. "I was asked if my bracelets were magnetic, but I took a magnet off the refrigerator and proved that they're not."
What about ghosts?
Jokingly, Freisinger asked Mary if her house home was haunted.
"If we do have ghosts, they are friendly," she said. "So I don't care."
