Spheres With Ice Shields For Earth-Mars Orbiter?

Buzz Aldrin described a permanent Earth-Mars orbiter that astronauts would catch when it neared Earth and jump off close to Mars. Constructing such a module in space with ice from comets melted to water and put into a shield around a round module as a shield could be feasible.

I believe 15 feet of ice are needed to stop most GCR's and SEP's. Ice already in space would be the cheapest to get perhaps.Injection formed spheres by the thousands could be built in space and provided with modularized components built on Earth, the Moon or maybe asteroids. I would think the mass of solar system planets ought not be changed much.

Researchers are studying radiation from Galactic cosmic rays and solar emitted particles-the first are worse and  the second most common. The Curiosity Rover spacecraft measured radiation in space during the trip to Mars from Earth, arriving in 2012 on the red planet.

Rumors About Fate of Gather.com

It is said that 'the creative side' of Gather.com will be eliminated by Health Guru Media that took over Gather.com sometime in April 2013. Gatherers aren't sure of what is going on, except that little works at the site and uploading is mostly frozen. Hunting isn't as feasible as gathering in the modern economy, yet gatherers may need to hunt for the few places that allow intellectual writing liberty along with the potential for earning a little-even for creating videos and uploading photos.

Is Gather's problem Java's vulnerability announced Jab. 10, 2013? Or is it an executive Health Guru Media decision to cut down gather? Is there anyone at Health Guru Media who would put some kind of news update on the Gather front page?

It's hard to believe that gutting a web site with advertisers and such is a good business choice. Wouldn't most sell it off or something?

In 1980 I learned some computer programming and though I didn't stay with that, I still have a sense about it. A temporary remedy of taking out or disabling hyperlinks and java and letting posts continue ought to be simple. Maybe the creative side could be made to be a profit sharing place for writers-perhaps as a non-profit co-op?

Middle east Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS CoV)- Kill Rate So Far (22 of 44)

Middle east Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS CoV) is a newly emerging respiratory virus that has killed about half of the people that have contracted it thus far (22). The occurrence of the corona virus has been found in about 44 people mostly in the Middle east. The director of the world Health Organization has called MERS a threat to the entire world.

People probably should remember to put a hand over their mouth if they cough in public.

'Health Guru' Buys Gather.com- Gather Bloggers Face Uncertain Future

Health Guru Media of New York bought out Gather.com in April and the gather.com site has become mostly frozen since early in May. Thousands of users are interested in the future of their content; writing, photos, videos etc.

The Internet can be an unreliable place for bloggers with their content coming down or deleted without notice. 

Gather.com was another Boston-based company to post political content at. Of course venture capitalists and corporate managers can be bought and paid for and confiscate content or profit of users now and then (i.e. Helium.com) for the grave offense of using politically incorrect speech.  Modern Boston seems like a one-hint-about-antipathetic-free-speech, two-your-blog-is-censored corporate city not too revered by the deleted.

My work at Helium.com was essentially confiscated because I used the faggot word several times in the course of writing hundreds of peer-reviewed top 5% ranked essays. I did not support the effort by homosexuals to usurp the role-relationship of pregnant women to husbands through legal ingression. Helium deleted about every article I wrote in opposition to the homosexual political agenda and kept the rest (more than 700) creating a false impression for the public of my opinion through the absence of the articles.

Queers attack political opponents personally whenever they can it appears because they haven't got much reason to draw upon as an alternative to make valid political arguments. The Internet is a prime mode for leftist bullying through corporate power. One simply cuts off any small avenues for earning through work. Democrat Party petty perfidy is the new mill-town control group phenomenon of the era. Heck-it's probably Harvard alumni at the core of the wickedness.

Hate speech is defined as partisan speech and any other words deemed not to blow smoke up the ass of the Democrat Party.

http://www.garycgibson.gather.com

Helium took the profit from my essays since Dec. 24th 2010 when I received notice that if I tried to log in again they would report that to the F.B.I. I was close to having enough essays to get a minimum 25 $ per month for just giving 5 ratings. To be candid Helium ought to post a 'banned' notice in red across my page so the readers aren't tricked into believing that I am a Helium writer. I had already copied the posts and published them later in a book at http://www.lulu.com/garycgibson

Now with Gather.com down; my alternative to Helium.com, my second primary website for political free speech seems at least temporarily decimated along with potential earnings. One puts three or four years developing a web page with excellent content and then poof! The left saps it in some way. I believe the poor are supposed to be not heard in corporate, Internet America,and that includes the U.S.A. For wealth to continue to be consolidated it is helpful I think to destabilize political speech for-profit on the Internet.

Free speech may exist fora while in America yet its better for the rich rather than for the poor; the new corporate owners can take it down. The rich can seem like skilled political bullies -and especially the Democrat Party. I suppose it's true that only the words of Jesus Christ and God can be counted upon to outlast the Universe and corporate Internet censorship by deletion post hoc.

Blogger.com is owned by Google so as the biggest fish it's more difficult for the petite bourgeois to take it down and de facto censor it without getting notice as censors. I suppose the administration or the Red Chinese will try to buy out Google too eventually since it's a place where free speech is still more or less allowed. Hopefully the government will create some sort of legal tax incentives for Internet web blog providers to provide stability to bloggers and content providers. The vicious Darwinist approach to corporate owned blogging pages isn't a very solid way of developing citizen assertion of political and creative opinion and content.

Red Chinese Bid to Take Top U.S. Pork Producer & Department of Defense Secrets!

How Americans can live with a Red Chinese take-over of the pride of the Hog farm is uncertain. American hogs controlled by the Chinese could lead to unknown and dangerous consequents. It hadn't occurred to me before that no Muslim oil country  would be a likely competitor in the field of pig production or barbeque'd pork and beans even with the secret sauce.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/may/29/chinese-mergers-acquisitions-us-

In the long-run the sale of U.S. infrastructure to the Chinese and other interested parties may increase. The Reds could buy all those highway bridges and fix-em when the states are broke. Someone will have to rebuild the roads so the SUV homes-on-wheels with someplace to go have a way to get there. The next two or three hundred years of U.S. highways need to be solid.

Diversification economically by owning American homes through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and farming animals while hacking free defense technology are necessary ways for the populous and upwardly mobile Chinese nation to buy into a nation with a printing press and e-mint creating a surplus of dollars. China as a wise investor must know that inflation may drive up prices in the future because of the Federal Reserves copious increase of money supply at zero interest to banks too big to fail.

Buying big now will help offset the devaluation of their foreign currency reserves of the dollar when inflation finally arises or if the dollar crashes. Swine probably have more really value than submarines in some respects, especially if the Chinese have copies of all the useful secret vepun stuff from D.O.D. and their codes too.

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/28/18556787-chinese-hackers-steal-us-weapons-systems-designs-report-says?lite

The U.S. Government ought to diversify into more direction of the U.S. economy such that all Americans have a job while all the high-level h.s. is going on. Keeping creative Americans broke and puffing up Wall Street isn't really the better long-term, or short-run strategy for the U.S. leadership to wallow in. Time will prove that nationalism wasn't really obsolete or superfluous these years.

Red China does not allow American corporations to buy a majority interest in their corporations, and there isn't a valid reason why the U.S. should allow the Chinese to buy a controlling stake in any American corporation. Congress ought to pass legislation right away making it so. I would think that such a mirror law should pass international trade court review.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski on the Bill to Tax the Internet Marketplace

Recently I wrote to Sen. Murkowski on the unjust effort of the federal government to tax poor Internet entrepreneurs trying to eek out a few dollars. She replied...

"On May 6, 2013, I voted against S. 743 because I believe this legislation unfairly infringes upon state's sovereign rights, exposing online sellers to other states' sales tax requirements.  Additionally, I have heard from business owners across Alaska who explained to me the time-consuming expense of complying with sales tax laws for every jurisdiction in this country

For states like Alaska who have chosen not to have a statewide sales tax, this bill creates an unlevel playing field among other states with sales taxes. Now is the wrong time to create additional regulatory burdens and paperwork for our small businesses and entrepreneurs, but despite my vote against the bill, S. 743 passed the Senate by a vote of 69-27. The bill has now been sent to the House.

First Black Woman Harvard Undergrad Dean Pressurized into Quitting

The first black woman to be an undergraduate dean at Harvard University resigned under faculty pressure. Evelynn Hammond admitted checking faculty e-mail topics in an effort to discover the source of student cheating on take-out exams. Apparently faculty e-mail at Harvard traditionally is regarded as sacred and highly classified to protect the innocent, insider tips, sex favor trading for grades, special conspiracies or communications with foreign governments if anything such exists. Ms. Hammond didn't say if she discovered anything interesting among Harvard faculty-of-interest email, yet one wonders

http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2013/05/dean-release-july/

Ms. Hammond will stay on the faculty herself, and hopefully will use some kind of top-shelf encryption software for her own email.

Quantum Entanglement; Questions of Causality and Time of Bosons in an Electromagnetic Field

Physicists developed a way to use entangled pairs of photons to determine qualities of an additional pair of photons. It seems to me something like determining a logical contrapositive state of quantum wavelets by determining the values of the initial bound pairs. The new trick is in making a relation between particles that don't exist at the same time. So can there be other logical relationships determined in such ways, and what would be the limits to structural construction complexity?

http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2013/05/physicists-create-quantum-link-b.html?ref=hp

One wonders of the relationship of quanta such as photons (that are bosons and carriers of force in an electromagnetic field) to causality and time. Perhaps very small nearly mass-less units of force in low number have so few features they are able to have time order inconsequentiality. Not enough mass to be disordered by entropy?

Could photons for quantum entanglement experiments in an electromagnetic field or fields such as exist on Earth borrow data and ordered structure from those fields to qualify and 'sponsor' entangled quanta?
