[Vo]:Could the flow of time cause LENR?
http://www.wired.com/2014/04/quantum-theory-flow-time/ New Quantum Theory Could Explain the Flow of Time Now, physicists are unmasking a more fundamental source for the arrow of time: Energy disperses and objects equilibrate, they say, because of the way elementary particles become intertwined when they interact — a strange effect called “quantum entanglement.” Finally, we can understand why a cup of coffee equilibrates in a room said Tony Short, a quantum physicist at Bristol. In a thermodynamic process, entanglement builds up between the state of the coffee cup and the state of the room. This same process must be happening in the LENR reaction. The atoms in the fuel become entangled with the SPPs in the Bose Einstein condensate that is formed in the EMF that surrounds the fuel. If a strong communications link is formed between the SPP and the fuel atoms, the fuel atoms become entangled with the SPPs in this process. These fuel atoms lose their energy to the SPPs in a gradual dissipative energy equilibrium process proportional to their size until the fuel atoms and the SPPs become equal in energy.

I did not mean to play the scare card. In fact anybody, no matter their age or health, could wake one morning and find themselves in need of long term care. Everyone deserves to live, grow old, and die in dignity. Since careworkers play a huge role in making that possible it is important that their dignity be recognized too and a guaranteed basic income would help in that respect. These remarks are motivated by my personal experience which I will describe. In July my mother died from complications due to advanced dementia. Almost eight years ago she was diagnosed with vascular dementia. When my mother her broke her hip six years ago I moved back into my parent's home and became heavily involved in mother's rehabilitation and care. I tended to all her needs as you would do for any child or infant. A number of factors made this possible. I was unemployed, single with no children so I had the time, my fathers pension could support us both and we were fortunate enough to become clients of a new pilot program in assisted living. That program provided us with regularly scheduled help as well as extra help when ever we needed it. In the last two and half years the personal support workers were coming 4 or 5 times a day.

Re: [Vo]:CNN: New ray gun
Progress never stops! Here is my favorite cartoon about ray guns: http://www.wunderland.com/WTS/Rash/misc/addams.htm Death, ray fiddlesticks! Why, it doesn't even slow them up." I like this comment in the article: "With affordability a serious concern for our defense budgets, this will more effectively manage resources to ensure our sailors and Marines are never in a fair fight."

[Vo]:OT: Sunday Sermon, why aliens are green
Someone recently brought the following transmission to my attention: http://www.gocomics.com/monty/2014/12/07 I decided to make some inquiries into the matter. A cohort of mine, Vince Dingalint, reporter at large in both time and space, dug up a fragment of an interesting secret document that seems to shed some light on the matter of why certain aliens are green. I was told the following transmission had been extracted from the Kacknard Galactic Administrative Book of Interstellar Civilizations, Volume 3441232.axz.IZ42, (appendix 34). The leaker's name and species remains a carefully guarded secret to protect the guilty. BEGIN TRANSMISSION: -- NOTE: This section contains classified information on order by the Kacknard command. No unauthorized ocular scanning is allowed upon penalty of dismemberment -- Planet Earth, early historical interactions: During the Draconian Reign there had been some political debate on how best to interact with indigenous species inhabiting primitive planets scattered about in the mostly uncharted outer spiral arms of the galaxy. On one non-descript primitive planet known as Earth the most genetically advanced biological species lacked the capacity to develop interstellar flight, let alone the ability to add or subtract. What should be done about these genetic deficiencies? Some suggested it might be useful to interact on a genetic level and influence them, presumably to improve their Lot-in-Life. On the opposite side of the fence it had been postulated it would be more prudent to continue to passively record their activities as they mucked about doing whatever their evolutionary predilections dictated them to do. What had been gathered from robotic survey drones sent to monitor the planet was that many species had a genetic propensity towards highly aggressive survival traits. On the octal base scale of 0 to 7 the level of aggression exhibited was rated a solid 7, about as aggressive as any species can get. Under the circumstances no one was sure which might be the better course of action the Draconian reign should take. Should they intervene and attempt to help improve the circumstances, or back off and continue to observe the situation from afar. What made the debate difficult to settle was the fact that computer simulations had showed that if left alone many of the more genetically advanced species, despite their innate aggressive tendencies to either tear each other apart, or eat each other, would eventually evolve sufficient intellectual capacity to acquire the ability of shattering atomic nuclei. Once that happened projections ended with a 90-95% probability of the planet's atmosphere and outer crust being rendered radioactive. The environment would be inhospitable for all carbon-based life-forms for several million years. On the other appendage, any administration that decided to intervene, presumably to ameliorate the more aggressive tendencies, would be held accountable and blamed for any planetary disasters that transpired during their stewardship. No administration wanted that responsibility hanging over their ganglia lobes. Not surprisingly, taking the path of least resistance, a wait-and-observe strategy, had been followed, until. One day a consortium of Kacknard explorers interested in discovering and exploiting new food stock resources visited the Earth planet clandestinely - without paying the proper exploratory permit fees. During one their discrete forays they discovered and sampled several four-legged bovine species. Market surveys indicated these exotic new food stocks would turn out to be highly prized commodities on the interstellar foreign niche food market. Without delay the Kacknard consortium acted on their own self-interest. They began influencing Draconian institutions responsible for managing the non-intervention of primitive non space faring planetary systems. They supplied generous grants and lobbied the Draconian administration with the goal that they be allowed to pursue a more appendages-on approach. The Kacknard consortium also mentioned they would be more than happy to both manage and absorb all the up-front costs for maintaining "all purely scientific exploratory operations". They would also pay in-full all prior accumulated fines plus interest for not having applied for the initial exploratory permit fees. The generous financial arrangement effectively froze out all competing consortiums that might have had an interest in exploring the matter for their own economic gain. Not surprisingly, the Kacknard consortium quickly secured all rights to both sample and meddle on a genetic level in Earth affairs at unprecedented levels. This went on for several hundred thousand Earth year cycles. Eventually the Draconian Reign was overthrown by the Dogon Reign. Several hundr
