More hits. I remember when Digg was popular until people used it for politics. Slashdot is also starting to lose my attention. I am getting very tired of reading about the broken scientific process. How about open source climate data? Results based funding? Banning people caught stealing tax payer's money with false data? Open sourced tree ring samples? Whatever happened to the NASA researcher caught falsifying ozone data to get more funding? Follow the money. I read this morning that Russia has been funding the anti-fracking green movement in the EU or as Putin calls them useful idiots. Russia has the EU over an energy barrel and wants to keep it that way. The US is lucky it has 300 years of gas or the economy would have crashed by now. Somebody here pointed to a website of cherry picked data but event that website cherry picked its short term data over very long term data. What is the truth?

I automate steel and aluminum mills but you can apply what I do to anything from food processing to steel making. We always use the fastest computers to model and control the process. It's fun and I get to work with a lot of very smart people. In fact, I have a meeting with some doctors form China in a few minutes. I get paid better then most because most don't want to do what I do -- keep up with technology, long hours, and travel the world. But they make tanks from steel! Um, nothing here; keep looking.

More money? What is the point? They are already here! Most of us already know it and are waiting for government acknowledgement. Maybe WIKI Leaks will shed some light on the subject. I have supported SETI in the past, dedicating a whole lab of high powered machines to help analyze the data, but now I think the money could be better spent researching our DNA for example. Perhaps there is a message there. I think they will get in touch with us when they think we are ready.

My daughter was forced by her college government professor to subscribe to the NYT. Why not the WSJ also? On the office window of one of the professors is the sticker "Change you can believe in". What am I paying for? I suspect the professor will be choking on that phrase in two election cycles. Bye bye Krugman.

If you must train at home and what I use on the road can be found at http://www.fitnessanywhere.com/ However, you are definitely doing it wrong. Get a membership to your local YMCA. Most people that go to the Y are like you. Mine has every possible piece of equipment and class that you could ask for. As stated above, most definitely get a certified trainer. I watched one guy at work go from one year to live, at way over 300 lbs; go down to 175 (he overshot). He now is off all meds and looks great. He gave me Arnold Schwarzenegger's book The Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding. Another guy at work went from 1 pack a day and a few beers to now competing in bodybuilding contest and winning. We are all over fifty, look great, and put the younger kids in the office to shame. Looking good has a positive effect on the mind. I go to the Y to relieve stress - get divorced and you'll know what I mean. That's what got me in there. It takes twelve weeks to develop a habit and it's now part of my day. No time for TV anymore. Remember, you need to work on your body, spirit, and mind.
