Just a quick note, this came up on the internet a couple of hours ago.
get out the vote against.

I am sure that he "won't discriminate on the job". He will just make sure that the criminals he goes after are the non-superior white honest folk that he is protecting.

I don't live in Idaho but I am aware that they tend to be a bit conservative in their views, so he may have a very real chance in winning (or at least doing well enough to be a concern). What is scary is that with the Republicans letting loose the crazies, someone like him could actually win. As we all know, all politics are local and local races are the first place people start on their way up in influence.

Ran across this and thought the DKos community may want to see this.
I remember being a senior in high school and working in the library for a morning class period and watching this on a tv. Very tragic. In reading the information regarding the investigation, it saddens me that the cause was due to people in both NASA and the contractor not wanting to stop the launches because they did not want to spend the time and resources to fix the problem. In fact the contractor declared the potential of the o-rings to fail an "acceptable flight risk", even though it was know that a failure could destroy the spacecraft.

17 years later we destroy another Shuttle (Columbia) and totally junk the program. I grew up during the development and first flights of the shuttle and felt a personal loss at the closure of the program.

The shuttle program was an inspiring program and unique in having a reusuable spacecraft with most of the launch system reusable (boosters and shuttle). It was a small but important step in the space program that usuallly uses discardable equipment.

I feel that today's generations lost something to aspire to with the shut down of the shuttle system and NASA's decisions to use non US equipment to deliver astronauts to the space station.

It is unknown if or when we will reach the Moon or Mars again, much less use humans for space exploration in the future. Robotic space probes are wonderful, but " I want to be a robotics engineer running a robotic space probe!" doesn't have the same ring to it as "I want to be an astronaut!"

I just got sent this link to a Washington Post blog. The video is cool in a technology sense, but scary in a "Terminator" kind of way.

This may be old news and discussed here before but I found this interesting article in Firehouse.com, a website (from the magazine of that name) that is an "industry" magazine for fire departments.

http://www.firehouse.com/...

It seems that certain areas in Washington DC are used as pay spots for various youth programs. There have been several muggings and a couple of sexual assualts in the surrounding blocks after the kids have been paid. The city wants to use firefighters to park their equipment, observe, and radio in problems. The city wants the fire department to keep the patrols up till 4 am in certain spots.

Creative use of resources, or trying to expand the police force with out hiring officers? What do you think?
