Thank God! I’ll admit I’m not the skinniest guy in the world. but geez…And now for something completely different:
Goldman Sachs has hired Gregory Craig, President Barack Obama’s former White House counsel, to assist it on political and legal matters, a source familiar with the firm told POLITICO. Craig’s work for the Wall Street giant comes to light as Goldman faces SEC charges of securities fraud. Craig — now in private practice at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom — “is clearly an attorney of eminence and has a deep understanding of the legal process and the world of Washington. And those are important worlds for everybody in finance right now,” the source said.
Imagine if Haliburton had hired one of the Bush Administration’s former lawyers to defend them…Ya think the mainstream media would ignore iut like they’ll ignore this?

@ Possum:
Over a certain height there’s no problem, planes have been flying over Europe the entire time. They’ve just not been allowed to land anywhere.
The thing is… the thing is, this monster cloud isn’t actually there. The no-fly area is based on a computer model, and the boundaries were set at the very widest modelled spread of the cloud. Very few measurements have actually been taken but from what I’ve gleaned from the news, the ash cloud is mostly over northern Norway, Northern Sweden and Finland. Up there planes have suffered damage. Further south KLM and Lufthansa have had planes up, to shuttle them between airports, that haven’t shown even a tiny bit of engine damage. Over the UK the cloud isn’t even visible.
Here’s part of the reason why:

realtime
The ash cloud is being sucked up into a very prettily placed weather system and either rained out or spewed across the north. I’d guess most of it isn’t even coming out again. The model doesn’t seem to be accounting for this.
The problem is threefold: reliance on models in preference to empirical evidence (sound familiar?), regulators applying the precautionary principle based on those models, and a “Single European Sky” – a unified decision-making process for European ATC that is controlled by the EU, that means those regulators get to shut down the entirety of Europe’s airspace based on a computer model and the ninnying worries of bureaucrats who are scared of the thought of big lumps of metal flying through the air without even a single skyhook.
My initial thoughts on the thing were worry when I recalled what happened to passenger planes that flew through ash clouds. But… they flew through relatively dense clouds. What we’ve got here is thinner than the saharan dust clouds that sometimes blow up here and they’ve never caused any problems, despite having the same basic composition.
You have a fighter jet in Finland that had engine problems, but then you have KLM jets flying through what is meant to be the thickest part of the cloud and not suffering anything at all. I’m not saying the ash cloud isn’t there, because it obviously is. It’s just not dangerous. If they’d actually been testing the ash instead of relying on computer models then most of Europe and the UK would have been flying late Saturday or early Sunday. Unfortunately we live in a post-scientific age that believes anything spewed out by the little magic computation boxes and doesn’t bother to check whether it’s close to reality. I swear some people (maybe across the street?) would believe the sky is green if a computer model told them it was so.
Our economy is being screwed by panicing idiots. Now, if Katla goes, then we’ll have problems, but for now the only good side to this is that the “elite” who insist we should all eat locally are going to run out of mung beans and freshly picked delicacies in a day or two. And I will laugh as they are forced to eat turnips.
Calo wrote:
yeah but how many times have you ever heard anyone say “I vented my spleen” come on, be honest!
@ archonix:
Yep, I sort of agree with you. The ash cloud was at a certain level (20,000ft was often quoted) and so if you flew above that you were OK. the problem was to get above it you had to fly through it. (and to get down…)
I think we should all buy shares in Rolls Royce as I have an odd feeling there may be a surge in engine sales.

CINCINNATI — His act of honesty cost golfer Brian Davis roughly $400,000 and his first PGA Tour win.
But those who think that, “Why didn’t he just keep his mouth shut, take the money and walk?” aren’t aware of what a guilty conscience goes for these days.
By way of explanation, Davis holed a long birdie putt on the 18th green of Sunday’s Verizon Heritage tournament in Hilton Head, South Carolina. That left him in a tie with Jim Furyk, forcing a playoff.
Davis’ approach shot to the first extra green was off the mark and was nestled among some grass and twigs. According to Golf.com, Davis ticked a loose reed during his backswing.
He immediately informed a PGA official that he may have broken a rule, whereupon they checked TV replays. His worst fears were confirmed, but only when they scrutinized the shot in super-slow motion.
In short, no one would have noticed had he played out the hole and not called a fatal two stroke penalty against himself. No one would have known except Brian Davis, an honorable man and golfer, who epitomizes everything that is good and decent about the game.
That is what sets golf apart from any other sport that I can think of, in that it is the only one in which you call penalties on yourself. Even if no one else saw you break the rule.
You know you did and you do the honorable thing. That is the essence of golf. It is all about the honor. Just ask anyone who belongs to a swanky club where a well-heeled member has been caught chiseling.
He may be the King of the World to those who don’t know, but to the honorable men who comprise the rest of the membership, he’ll never be more than a golf cheat.
That is a label impossible to shed no matter how one tries or succeeds subsequent to what amounts to a permanent lapse in judgment and eternally exiled integrity.
Likewise, Brian Smith’s act of honoring the game, honors him.
PGA Tournament director Slugger White said that what Davis lost on the course, will be regained in his reputation for his honorable act. “That will come back to him in spades, tenfold,” White said.
Furyk added, “It’s obviously a tough loss for him and I respect and admire what he did.”
He certainly isn’t alone.
