The Europeans really need to start ramping past 3500 GeV.  This is only about half power for the LHC and the machine shows that it can handle it.

COSTA MESA SENDS OUT RFP FOR CITY WEB SITE DESIGN--$50,000
Link

Want to know the secret of many RFPs from various government agencies and private businesses?

It is this:  The RFPs are often written by a supplier or are taken from the published specs of a supplier in the particular industry. 

Sometimes, the specs are so precise and mirror the specs of a particular supplier so closely that they appear to have been lifted whole from that supplier's literature with the only change being that the supplier's name is removed.

When this mirroring happens, the fix is in and no other supplier can compete, because no other supplier has the exact specs called for in the RFP except the mirrored one, and all the other proposals offered by any other suppliers will be ruled non-responsive.

Is that the case with this RFP?  We don't know.

UTAH STATE JUDGE ORDERED TO APPEAR BEFORE FEDERAL JUDGE IN FLDS CASE
Link

The story so far: The fundamentalist Mormons (FLDS), mainly live in a couple of desolate towns that straddle the border between Utah and Arizona.  (They also have groups in Texas, Colorado and Canada).

They still follow the early Mormon ways and practice polygamy.  Another of the early Mormon ways is to hold all property in the name of the Church.

The FLDS people have been the victims of state persecution for years (in Utah, Arizona, Texas and in Canada), but they remain true to their faith.

A few years ago, a Utah state judge put all the Utah land the FLDS owns into a trust.  The trustee then ran up millions of dollars in bills and has tried to sell off land that the FLDS people consider sacred and where they want to build a temple.

Then, this year, a federal judge ruled that what the state judge did was unconstitutional and he told the trustee to return the land to the FLDS.

About two weeks ago, the state judge told the trustee to ignore the order of the federal judge and not give the land back.

Today, the federal judge has ordered the state judge to appear in his court.  He says he may rule the state judge in contempt.

Whether one agrees with the ways of the FLDS or not, is not important.  What is important is that the religious freedom of everyone may be increased by the legal battles the FLDS people are fighting and winning.

GROUP WITH NO NAME DOESN'T WANT TO BE CONFUSED WITH GROUP WITH A NAME BECAUSE THE GROUP WITH A NAME ISN'T A GROUP BUT JUST ONE GUY

Link to Eleanor Egan's letter in the Daily Pilot. 

The group with a name that isn't a group, according to Eleanor, is Repair Costa Mesa.  The group with no name that Eleanor says is a group is, er, well it has no name.

We think the person Eleanor, who is a member of the group with no name, doesn't name, is named Greg Ridge who often uses the name Gericault (which is the name of a French painter who was born in 1791).

Got that name, no name, group, not a group, dead French painter stuff sorted out?

Will include use of E-Verify.  Hey, Costa Mesa City Council, you're dropping the ball on this.  Bring in E-Verify to Costa Mesa.  Don't hide on this issue.

This will be especially important as you outsource jobs.

Don't replace citizen workers with illegal aliens.
