And here's Mt Sibayak. A small stratovolcano w/ a height of 2094 meters; overlooking the town of Berastagi N. Sumatra, Indonesia... Last eruption occurred in 1600... VOLCANO ERUPTS IN [ring of fire]
A Search and Rescue team official told AFP: "The ash has spread to a distance of 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the volcano. Many of the villagers evacuated were farmers and they said the ash had settled on their vegetable farms." [read] (Hope this isn't the case.)

It will be interesting to see how a majority of U.S. people of every nationality can re-shape an "Old-Media" press, TV, and full Journalist content.
Appears that U.S. Media-outlets are a massive buy-in from foreign Governments; who help drive their U.S. GOV policy.. Some are same foreign GOV's w/ populations who love Freedom; but lack free press. So... We'll stand as U.S. Sovereigns; for their Freedom, too!!

-ABOUT: Gov Mitch Daniels is a 'proven success' of conservative governance; leading the state to its first balanced budget in (8) years; and turned the $600 million deficit he inherited, into a $300 million surplus in a single year... With a telecommunications policy as deregulation; and infrastructure policy as the biggest privatization in state history; he used this surplus to repay hundreds of millions of dollars the state (of previous administrations) had borrowed from Indiana's public schools. [read.]
-On the other hand, Democrat Progressive-Socialists rammed through the Healthcare bill (none had read) to capitalize on their dwindling Majority position... After four year Majority charge of U.S. finances; Democrats tripled spending in a single year... A mass spending, that statistics reveal to be "counter-productive" to National recovery.

Of course, good news... Our problem is precisely the opposite of the video, below (Haha)... As there is every indication that imminent "solar storms" will be our current experience... Exact extent of severity, yet unknown.
Silly old film, I know.... :)
It is said that with the enormous wind speeds in our solar system and on gas planets; we are starting to unravel the extent of how human/earth presence contributes to the kinetic...

Specific ideological changes must be made, that we emerge stronger, with renewed perception of what the pursuit for a better life, must become... And if humankind is to elevate its potential; it is logical that the constant 'vacillation model' of exploitable labor, must be replaced... VIDEO. "Robots are just like other technological advances. They don't put people out of the workforce they just change the workforce." -Toasterface
And so too, societies will replace simple labor with skill orientation; as productive elements of robotics continues to advance... Evolution of entrepreneurship will guide the United States, into a different way of envisioning how we shape our future.
-Professor R. Brooks offers an interesting projection of the future of manufacturing in the U.S... -Full Video Here. -View bio
What was right then, is wrong now.... Today, the ideology of "UNION LABOR" and large bureaucracies, is holding back the evolution of technological progress.... What was once, a representation of 20th century thinking; UNIONS now starve society, destroy budgets, and are no longer suited for forward thinking, or sustainability... A broken system which limits advancement on disease & planetary solutions.
As millions of U.S. jobs are courted away, and/or pushed from this country; U.S. industry innovators are now eager to shift the tides... Creating Jobs to make jobs easier and more efficient; replacing inefficiency as robotics-expansion evolves...
CNN economy expert regards the economical down-turn, as just a "sentiment issue" about prolonging that new "refrigerator purchase".... And no mention of the U.S. Corporations rapidly fleeing U.S; to escape current TAX policies!
And then holds up the letter "W" -Video (ht/IOTW)
Note: Left Media is quick to tell you that the President of the United States does not enact war or financial policy; Congress does...... And then, blames Bush for the "current financial dip, & unemployment numbers" while Dem Majority Congress was in control (2000-01; 2006-2010)
I'll tell you what... How about we hold a special "emergency election" to purge over 300 Washington Bureaucrats, and eliminate all those who can't possibly be responsible for their policy that is driving the Keynesian economics job purge!
And then, purge all "Gov- incentivize" from the News; as "Regime-sponsored" Media outlets act only as a "front" to a Nation's basic need for a Free Press...
Today's Links... From Wall St. Breakfast: Friday, August 20, 6:15 PM Dr. Keynes is killing the patient, Michael Pento writes. Most Americans know intuitively that reducing their debt burden is in their best interests, but "a few hundred individuals in government believe they know better than the collective wisdom of the entire free market... they are forbidding us from following the common sense path to fiscal health."

N.J. Gov Christie pushes to make the State more competitive; and court a long-term return of business revenue for the state's strapped budget.
The new Governor is rapidly lifting Business determent in "mass-taxed" Blue State; in order to shift red ink to black.
Bottom-line: If this nation is to over-come its financial crisis, we must decide in November.... Are we to be a Nation with politicians, intrinsically linked to buying votes... Or will we be a Nation who empowered its people to improve the private-sector by opportunity, which rejects additional GOV debt!...
Regardless of party affiliation, we must start with the purge of all those of the 111th, who choose GOV power at the expense of private-sector growth!
This is an accountability issue, not a political issue... Without willingness to have spending discipline, private-sector jobs are disabled from fully impacting a stronger economy!
Today's Majority "political spending" will only impact a permanent recession! Save the future, save the Nation...
Curiously odd little video.... The infinite exists in consciousness... And in search of the last equation, several theories of mathematical principal have tortured Scientists for centuries...

Later, Scientists would lighten-up on the principals of certainty... And move toward probability... Viola! The law of thermodynamics..
Pierre de Fermat is credited with carrying out the first ever rigorous probability calculation... In it, he was asked by a professional gambler why if he bet on rolling at least one six in four throws of a die he won in the long term, whereas betting on throwing at least one double-six in 24 throws of two dice resulted in him losing...
Fermat subsequently proved why this was the case, mathematically. Fermat Principal.
Explanation: The function mapping a point in the sample space to the "probability" value is called a probability mass function... The modern definition does not try to answer how probability mass functions are obtained; instead it builds a theory that assumes their existence... More later. Probability Theory.
UPDATE: Wow, what is the probability that it also just happens to be the anniversary of the date of his birthday, today!! (17 August 1601 or 1607/8) ....But there is some question as to the probability of the year of his birth? :D (haha)

The same Liberal campaign tactics, used to portray potential divisions, discrimination, or inflexibility; were also used to gain political support for same-sex marriage, & healthcare funded abortions... Aided by Liberal Media, "reactionary politics" pit one part of U.S. society against another. But who can forget how physicians and clergy of religious institutions were taunted with [potential] threat of fine for not preforming healthcare funded abortions; & lawsuits for failure to preform gay marriages. From ArabNews: “Many Muslims fear that the mosque will become a shrine for Islamists, which would remind Americans of what Muslims did on 9/11,” Dr. Gamal Abd Al-Gawad, director of Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies in Cairo told The Media Line. #
“Some people express concern that if the mosque will be built, it will harm Muslims and Islam in America. It’s not good for Muslims and Islam to be in the heart of such a controversy,” he added.
-Any doubt of what I am saying here: If the worst Leftist financial policies in U.S. history are 'shrugged-off' as "racism"... Why wouldn't they try to turn over 60% of Muslim/non-Muslim N. Yorker's concerns of politicising a burial-site; into a Democrat Campaign?
Fact: Most suffer from extended grief and, for various reasons, have expressed their opposition to the proposed Islamic Center, at this time... Made worse by the Obama Liberal Media...
But I predict that this Media coverage shall end, immediately after the 2010 elections... Thanks for all the divisional issues, Democrats!

In 2009, Obama bails-out (twice bankrupt) F & F And develops the: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009-- "Poorly designed" it was probably one of the reasons why we’ve lost three eight million private-sector jobs since it became law. Read more.
