This is an interesting article, it touches on 'Geological' pole shifts, extinctions and biological explosions, and even honeybees. A true science report.

The reason I read this article is because I was looking for a solution for a misbehaving digital compass that I implemented for work. The damn thing just will not give an accurate reading. It has been tested locally and in China and it continues to give practically random readings. The magnetometer is flaky I think. It had me waving my hand over digital and boy scout compasses just to make sure it wasn't me that was screwing it up. lol

Just read about how UMBC beat UVA. Wow. I have two friends who teach at UMBC.

This is the college basketball season known as March Madness. The lowest ranked team just beat the number one team. UVA apparently plays what's called a slow-down game. It usually works for them. Problem was, when UMBC went ahead, UVA couldn't speed up to regain points because their style is to slow the game down. And they made mistakes. And UMBC won.

Go underdogs!

Acronymese again.

First time in history that a 16-seed beat a 1-seed

Interesting the first time a 1 nationally ranked NAIA team beat a 1 nationally ranked 1 NCAA team was Hawaii's Chaminade beat UVA - many years ago.

Rats and Mosquitos are not indigenous to Hawaii -

UVA - University of Virginia
NAIA - small college United States
NCAA - major college United States
UMBC - not sure

Going out on a limb here - as Shirley Maclaine would have said.

Without serious meditation on the subject my 1st impressions of the serial bomber in Austin-San Antonio, if the San Antonio explosion is connected.

The perpetrator has a distinctive facial characteristic as in a tatoo, birth mark, or disfigurement. Possibly something strange/different about hair.

I was going to add potential sex hangups and then I realized...hey waitaminit, that's me...

UMBC is University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

Thanks for the clarifications You Americans have noooo idea what you are putting us Europeans through with that "hidden language" called "Acronymese"

Early on in my time here I was using DW, BR, PA and CG a lot.

But it is an effort not to reduce things to acronyms. We really do it a lot in America, don't we?

My sister-in-law is a nurse and loves to talk in her jargon even when she's not talking to nurses. It makes her feel special. I think acronyms are like that. You're 'in the know'.

I worked on a military project as a student with some folks from 'Aberdeen' working on some communications prototypes. Our side made some proposals and as it was being discussed we offered to throw in a few more acronyms if it would make the military side happier. It was good for a laugh.

UMBC is a CHESS school, what are these nerds doing playing basketball?

Here’s NAP channeling his inner DD (with insider TOT acronyms)

I just heard an interview with Cliff Van Zandt...Another FBI profiler. He estimates that there are probably as many as 1500 folks working on this case. As for Zandt...He's a dirtbag different from John Doughlas. Van Zandt is often called as an expert witness on serial cases and even high profile murder cases. He has never seen a suspect that wasn't guilty. In fact, there was one case where the guilty verdict was thrown out due to improprieties.

Another shot in the dark: The perp/perps are mid to upper 20's, possibly University of Texas students studying Tech with some kind of military or Law-Enforcement emphasis.

I'll keep trying until something 'significant' really hits me. These are just thoughts, no flashes yet. I have to get more psychically/psychologically involved.

I got the impression of a male in their mid to late 30's or even early 40's. I don't know why I got the word hispanic in my mind, but I somehow doubt the perp would be of that ethnicity. Then again... Who knows. We'll hear more soon.

I could buy that actually...considering 'the tatoo' as in a Tear Drop tattoo. And u could be correct about the age, also but still a student...
