Philadelphia Experiment One of The Biggest Military Hoaxes of The 20th Century. So, What Happened?
May 7, 2019 Joseph Williams, Guest Author
When the USS Eldridge did reappear, the Navy found men fused to the ship's bulkheads. Some were sick, others had gone insane, and some had even vanished.
On October 28, 1943, the destroyer escort USS Eldridge (DE-173) lay peacefully at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
Having been launched only three months before, the new Cannon-class vessel was named after the heroic actions of Lieutenant Commander John Eldridge, Jr., a naval aviator who had been killed in action in the Solomon Islands on November 2, 1942.
The ship, however, was not bound for the Pacific to avenge its namesake's death, but rather it was slated for escort duty to the Mediterranean. Eldridge was, like many others of the U.S. Navy, preparing to go into harm's way.
All of a sudden, a greenish haze cloaked the vessel. To those observing it, the Eldridge vanished. Radar could not even pick up the ship. When Eldridge did reappear, the Navy found men fused to the ship's bulkheads. Some were sick, others had gone insane, and some had even vanished.
Perhaps the Navy had consulted with the physicist Albert Einstein and found the secret of the unified field theory. Maybe Eldridge had crossed dimensions as there were reports of it appearing in Norfolk, Virginia. Were aliens involved?

Of course, the Navy denied everything. The whole event became known as the Philadelphia Experiment, or what was sometimes called "Project Rainbow."
The story above is untrue except that Eldridge was a destroyer escort that was commissioned in 1943 and named after John Eldridge, Jr. The vessel wasn't even in Philadelphia in October 1943 — it was in New York.

But the Philadelphia Experiment is one of the greatest military hoaxes of the twentieth century. So, what happened?
In 1955, Morris K. Jessup, author of The Case for the UFO received rambling correspondence from one "Carlos Miguel Allende." After commenting on Jessup's work, Allende provided details on the Philadelphia Experiment, claiming that he had witnessed the whole thing from the merchant ship Andrew Furuseth.
Allende claimed that the ship had been teleported to Norfolk and back using Einstein's unified field theory, the effects of which caused the disastrous results for the crew as described above. Allende added that Einstein had tutored him personally on such topics as invisibility and faster-than-light travel.
Albert Einstein receiving from Judge Phillip Forman his certificate of American citizenship.
Jessup wrote back to Allende, asking what proof he had. Allende wrote back, this time as "Carl Allen." He only provided more rambling vagaries. Jessup took Allende as a crackpot – and that is saying something coming from a UFO theorist!
Then, in 1957, Jessup was visited by two officers from the Office of Naval Research (ONR). They had received a copy of The Case for the UFO which had been highly annotated with purported knowledge of one who knew UFOs.

Jessup recognized the handwriting as Allende's. The officers had a small number of copies made. It now can be purchased on Amazon (search for the Varo edition).
Jessup died by his own hand in 1959. This just fed into the conspiracy theories. Was Jessup assassinated because he knew too much about Allende and the Philadelphia Experiment?
It was rumored that the ONR sent investigators to the return address on Allende's letters, but they only found a deserted farmhouse.
All these little details piqued the interest of paranormal researcher Robert Goerman. He was able to locate Carl Allen since the original Allende mailing to the ONR came from his hometown of New Kensington, Pennsylvania.
He found that Carl Allen was an eccentric man, creative, a loner, and liable to fabricate stories. Furthermore, Goerman compiled the facts on the case and pretty conclusively showed that the Philadelphia Experiment did not happen. He went on to appear on TV shows such as History's Mysteries and The Unexplained.
The ONR itself has published the following statement:
"Over the years, the Navy has received innumerable queries about the so-called "Philadelphia Experiment" or "Project" and the alleged role of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in it… The frequency of these queries predictably intensifies each time the experiment is mentioned by the popular press, often in a science fiction book."
The statement concluded: "ONR has never conducted any investigations on invisibility, either in 1943 or at any other time (ONR was established in 1946.) In view of present scientific knowledge, ONR scientists do not believe that such an experiment could be possible except in the realm of science fiction."
USS Timmerman (DD-828) underway off Newport RI in 1953
Science fiction is about the right way to put it. The entire theory falls apart when one considers that the United States developed the atomic bomb during World War II but had been working on a teleportation field that worked two years before but failed to capitalize on it.
The ONR believes that the genesis of the Philadelphia Experiment theory may be derived from degaussing experiments which were meant to protect ships from magnetic mines or from 1950s experiments on the USS Timmerman using a small high-frequency generator that produced corona discharges.
Launch of Timmerman on 19 May 1951.
What does make the case interesting is that, after the Philadelphia Experiment became more well-known, two or three people have claimed to have been teleported. These people have turned out to be hoaxers themselves, but their stories kept giving fresh life to the Philadelphia conspiracy.
Read another story from us: Creepy stories from WWII, Normandy Ghosts, Disappearing Aircraft
Perhaps the most interesting question to ask is: why did the ONR bother to visit Jessup in 1956? And why would they make all the copies of the book?
Goerman thinks they did it on their own time out of personal interest or that the ONR was charged to follow every lead. Whatever the rationale behind the ONR's actions, there is still an untidy end to a ridiculous but fun hoax that keeps conspiracists intrigued even to this day.

Usually, lipomas are neither painful nor harmful, but there are occasions when they may be uncomfortable, particularly if they arise on the back. If they do not cause any problems, then no treatment is necessary, but for many people, they are aesthetically unattractive, and lipoma removal surgery may be the preferred choice.
During the straightforward excision procedure, a small cut is made over the lump, the fatty tissue is removed, and the skin is sutured. The patient, size and location of the lump, will determine the type of anaesthetic used. Small lipomas can be removed using a local anaesthetic, which may only mean day surgery, with a short period of recovery time required. Larger lipomas such as those on the back, should be removed under a general anaesthetic, and therefore will involve a longer recovery period, with driving or operation of machinery prohibited for at least 24 hours.
This is a common occurrence. Clear fluid collects in the space vacated by the removal of the lipoma, and sometimes may need to be drained.
Antibiotic treatment will be required if infection occurs.
As is the case with all surgical procedures, the possibility of nerve damage is raised.
Some people develop keloid scars, which can be unsightly.
Risks of a more general nature, although extremely rare, include death as a reaction to anaesthetic, blood clots, heart attack or stroke due to blood vessel problems.
Following surgery, the very least that can be expected is appropriate pain management by the medical team, who should frequently monitor pain and discomfort levels, and take any necessary action. The typical pain relievers that may be used are Panadol and NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), but it is rare that anything stronger than panadol will be needed. As with all medication and drugs, professional medical advice must be obtained before proceeding with the treatment.
Upon discharge, the incision should be protectedby a waterproof dressing for roughly 5 days. It should be healed after this period, but will still need care when washing until fully healed. It is normal to find bruising around the wound, maybe slightly reddened along the cut or a hard ridge of tissue beneath the wound. These should all fade and be less visible after approximately three months.
A common sense approach to activities and exercise should be employed, taking things slowly and gently at first, until the wound is fully healed.
However, not everybody finds lipoma surgery an appealing choice. There are several natural, home remedies and herbal treatments that could be tried if surgery does not seem to be a suitable solution. Of course, the appropriate professional medical advice should always be sought before taking this course of action to avoid lipoma surgery.

Music on TV is about connection and collective energy, and we need more of it

There was a moment in Missy Higgins Friends where I realised Missy Higgins had been a part of most of my adult life.
She was behind her piano singing 'All For Believing'; the song that made the rest of us take notice. A song that to this day floors me with its complexity and depth. Years and many thousands of gigs later, the strength of her voice spoke to an adult life that had also been lived on stage.
Relive the stunning Missy Higgins Friends show right now
Missy Higgins, Peter Garrett, Gretta Ray, Dan Sultan and more joined forces to celebrate Ausmusic Month.
Missy Higgins Friends, a big event staged as a part of Ausmusic Month, tipped Higgins into icon status. Because that 90 minutes on screens in lounge rooms all over Australia – and laptop screens across the world – confirmed what we'd had an inkling of for a while: she is truly one of Australia's great artists.
TV is funny that way. As someone who has lived her life largely evangelising about the songs I love on radio, it never fails to amaze me how differently that connection is felt when you can see and hear something beautiful. It connects in a different way.
It must be something about our senses and how we interpret the world; sizing up as much as we can through every possible avenue when the messages of these sonnets blast into our eyeline and wrap around our ears.
It's seeing the kids that look like us reacting in real time to what's happening in front of them.

Invasion of the Drones
Posted on August 12, 2014 by Leslie Carothers
Late last year, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced on 60 Minutes plans to launch drones to deliver products purchased by Amazon customers. Fleets of flying arachnoid contraptions will deposit discount books and kitchen gadgets on customers' doorsteps within minutes of their online orders. Is this an exciting innovation or a really bad idea?
The growing infatuation with what the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for commercial, scientific, or recreational purposes presents the FAA with an extremely complex task of integrating these machines into the national system for regulation of airspace. In addition to serious airspace safety and national security concerns, the wider use of drones raises privacy issues as well as environmental concerns such as noise, emissions, injury and disturbance of wildlife, especially birds, impaired visibility, and aesthetic impacts to our landscapes and our skies.
In 2012, Congress passed the FAA Modernization and Reform Act to recognize and regulate commercial drones. The law requires the FAA to prepare and publish a five-year roadmap to guide aviation stakeholders on the tasks involved in integrating UAS into the National Airspace System of regulated aircraft equipment, procedures, operator training, and certification of compliance. The road map issued November 7, 2013, states that proposed civil and commercial uses of UAS include security awareness, disaster response, communications, cargo transport, infrastructure monitoring, commercial photography, aerial mapping and charting, and advertising. The agency has announced plans to propose rules to regulate small drones—those weighing less than 55 pounds and flown under 400 feet in altitude—this year to ease the restriction on machines presenting little or no risk to commercial aviation. But even this category of equipment presents significant regulatory concerns and complexities.
The FAA currently handles approvals for use of UAS by issuing certificates of waiver or authorization to public operators and special experimental certificates to civil applicants. Researchers from private universities have complained about being excluded from the approval process. FAA's recent assertion of broad authority over "any contrivance invented, used, or designed to navigate in the air" has also come under criticism from this quarter on the ground that tight limits "stunt scientific advancement."
The FAA knows how to set standards and certification requirements for aviation equipment and operators. Major differences with drones are the absence of an on-board operator to help avert collisions, the potentially much greater variety and quality of equipment, and the much larger number of operators to be regulated and subjected to liability for unsafe operation. Cheerleaders for faster approval of drones are apparently untroubled by the already significant level of accidents involving both military and commercial drone operations. (Craig Whitlock, FAA will miss deadline to integrate drones in U.S. skies, report says, WASHINGTON POST 2 (June 30, 2014.))
Advocates for opening the airspace to wider use of UAS are entitled to tout the benefits to be gained and money to be made from a new industry. However the first priority of government regulators must be to protect a system that has delivered a high degree of safety in the aviation sector. Beyond the challenge of assuring aviation safety is the equally daunting question of homeland security. Our huge investment in airport and airline security have so far succeeded in preventing further successful terrorist attacks on air transportation in the United States. The proliferation of commercial drones potentially armed and operated by thousands more people across the country presents new risks to our safety from criminal or terrorist activity that must be addressed by the FAA and the Department of Homeland Security
Cheap commercial drones carrying high-powered cameras, a favorite new application, can conduct surveillance threatening privacy interests. They will be stealthy surrogates for gum-shoe investigators trailing debtors, straying spouses, or people falsely claiming disabilities. At a time when the public has expressed worry, if not outrage, over governmental and commercial surveillance of their lives, magnifying this risk by the expansion of camera-toting drones will not be welcome. It is small wonder that polling by the Pew Research Center shows that 63% of Americans think it would be a change for the worse if personal and commercial drones are permitted to fly through most U. S. airspace.
The FAA's five-year plan refers without elaboration to the National Environmental Policy Act. Actions to expand use of drones will require an assessment of environmental impacts, whether or not the FAA itself has the authority to address them. Environmental impacts are likely to be a function of the number of drones in use, where they are used and for what purpose, and how any limitations can be effectively administered and enforced. The risk-benefit calculation for the use of drones in Alaska or other wide open spaces, like farm fields or many border regions, will of course be different from their use in urban and suburban areas of the country.
The FAA, however, may not have the last word on commercial drone use. Restrictions on both launch sites and areas of operation are likely to be derived from land use regulation generally imposed by city and county governments. While the FAA can theoretically regulate noise and pollution from UAS at least by broad type, the FAA is not equipped to adopt the kinds of restrictions needed to protect neighborhoods and resources like wildlife from UAS intrusions adversely affecting local environmental health and amenities. State and local governments, therefore, may become the city-by-city battleground and city and county commissions may have the final say on whether they want Mr. Bezos's drones to be the product-delivery system of the future or whether the speedy dispatch of non-critical consumer goods is not worth the price to be paid in community safety, privacy, and peace.

Q: PHP - Adding an interval to dates and getting the difference not working I want to have a countdown for how long until something expires, but it's not working. Specially, using the diff function of datetime returns essentially a dateinterval of nothing (all 0s). Here's the code:
    $created = new DateTime("2012-11-20");
    $expires = $created;
    $expires->add(new DateInterval("P14D")); //adds a week
    $timeLeft = $created->diff($expires);
    echo $timeLeft->format('%a days');

The problem is this code returns 0 days always..

A: The main issue is how you are copying the object, you need to clone the object instead .. replace
$expires = $created;

With
$expires = clone $created;

Full Code
$created = new DateTime("2012-11-20");
$expires = clone $created;
$expires->add(new DateInterval("P14D")); //adds 14 days
$timeLeft = $created->diff($expires);
echo $timeLeft->format('%a days');

Output
14 days

The Gambia has strong political will to advance cooperation with China — Barrow
Gambian President Adama Barrow said Saturday that The Gambia has a strong political will to promote cooperation with China, the African nation's most important partner. Barrow made the remarks during talks with visiting Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Barrow said the first visit by a Chinese foreign minister to The Gambia showed China's good faith in strengthening bilateral relations. He recalled his two visits to Beijing within nine months, saying they showed that he and the Gambian government attach great importance to and have confidence in closer ties with China. The Gambia will adhere to the one-China policy and firmly support China's rightful stance in the United Nations and on other multilateral occasions, he said. Lauding the rapid and comprehensive development of relations since 2016 when the two countries restored diplomatic ties, Wang said that facts have proved the resumption of relations was the right decision. It also fully conforms with the fundamental and long-term interests of the Gambia and its people, as well as the trend of the times, he said. The Chinese Foreign minister said China appreciates The Gambia's reaffirmed stance on the one-China policy and is willing to build mutual trust with the West African country. The two sides should firmly support each other on issues concerning their respective core interests so as to consolidate the political foundation for future development of their ties, he said. China-Africa Cooperation: Mutual help between brothers China-Africa Cooperation is essentially South-South cooperation and is fraternal assistance, Wang said when meeting with his Gambian counterpart Mamadou Tangara on Saturday. Wang stressed that the realisation of common development and prosperity will make the world more equal and peaceful. He added that China is ready to provide support and assistance to The Gambia and other African countries within their own capabilities in accordance with the actual situation and development needs of the African side. Facts have proved that the decision of The Gambia to resume diplomatic ties with China fully satisfies the country and people's fundamental interests, Wang said. He called on both sides to enhance mutual political trust on the basis of the one-China principle, and firmly support each other on issues concerning their respective core interests, so as to ensure that China-Gambia relations will enjoy long-term and steady development. Noting that 2019 is the first year for the implementation of results of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), Wang hoped the two countries could actively implement the consensus reached by their heads of state and enhance pragmatic cooperation in various fields in accordance with the eight major initiatives proposed at the Beijing Summit of FOCAC. Tangara, for his part, thanked China for providing valuable help for the economic development of his country and improvement of people's livelihoods. He stressed that The Gambia will firmly pursue the one-China policy, will firmly support China on all international occasions and firmly support China's legitimate position on its core interests. The Gambian minister hoped to strengthen exchanges with China at all levels, enhance political mutual trust, expand economic cooperation and promote cooperation in energy, technology and other fields so as to turn the bright vision of bilateral relations into reality. The Gambia, he said, shares the view of the Chinese side that African people know who their true friends are and will not allow anyone to turn Africa into an arena. China is the only hope for safeguarding the multilateral system and safeguarding the interests of developing countries under the current situation of unilateralism, he added.]]>

Q: Excel VBA Arrays good practices: create a huge blank array at once or use redim preserve all the time? I like to use an array as if it was an "in RAM memory" spreadsheet, so the code is more clean and it runs faster.
So I would like to ask: generally, is it better start the code with a huge array, say Dim arr(10000), so I can work with it as if it was a blank sheet I fill when necessary, or is that a bad practice, and, instead, I should use Redim Preserve all the time I need to insert data into the array?
Thanks in advance for any help.

A: The answer to your question depends on how you intend to fill the array (noting that this is in the context of Excel). Here are four simple scenarios:
Filling from a Range. Simply Dim a Variant and let VBA do all the work.
Dim myArray as Variant
Dim myRange as Range

'Set myRange = something
myArray = myRange.Value '<-- Fills a 2-D array
For rowIterator = LBound(myArray,1) to UBound(myArray,1) '<- How identify the size of the first dimension
    For colIterator = LBound(myArray,2) to UBound(myArray,2) '<- How identify the size of the second dimension
        'Do something to myArray(rowIterator, colIterator)
    Next colIterator
Next rowIterator

Filling when you define your bounds. In some code, you can learn early in the code running what your bounds are going to be. In this case, you can ReDim before you get into a loop.
Dim myArray() As String
Dim someCounter As Long
'Some early code
someCounter = CLng(myRange.Value)
ReDim myArray(someCounter) '<-- Do this only once.
For iterator = LBound(myArray) to UBound(myArray)
    ' Do Something to myArray(iterator)
Next iterator

Filling within a loop. Avoid this when ever you can as ReDimming an array, especially with ReDim Preserve is computationally expensive. However, if you know it is a small loop, you might want to accept the cost.
An alternative to resizing in a loop is to use a Collection.
Oversizing to start with. Rather than continually re-dimensioning the array, you could oversize the array but you then have the additional management overhead of trying to manage the unused array slots. How do you know if the value in the array of "" or 0 is really "" or 0 instead of a default null value?

Disruptive global customs platform RIISE was announced and released this week by PCFC subsidiary, Customs World. The in-house customs project was presented to Uzbekistani officials and received positive feedback for its automation capabilities and elimination of traditional, time consuming trade bottlenecks.
"This disruptive technical and functional CMS (Customs Management System) and the trade enabling platform takes the lessons and builds on the learnings and 100 years of distinctive experience and practices of Dubai Customs" Nadya Abdullah Al Kamali, CEO of Customs World said. "The system recognizes the threats and challenges of today and provides the levels of border integrity that governments and their communities expect in such a way that sets world benchmarks for cross border trade."
The plug-and-play solution is equipped to meet specific needs of customers and utilizes technology such as AI and machine learning to simplify and streamline decision-making and operations. Additionally, the open-source system eliminates the need for third party license and is predicted to improve rankings on the global indexes, increase revenues, facilitate trade, secure borders and the supply chain for countries that utilize the platform.
"RIISE is built with a vision to be the number 1 partner of choice for
governments to protect their borders and facilitate trade following the standards and requirements of the World Trade Organization, SAFE and Kyoto. It is a disruptive option to a stale market currently monopolized by companies with a 1990's mentality dumping old technology and re-branding old processes."

Q: How to ping multiple servers and return their IPs I have a txt file which contains a list of different server names (one server name per line).
I am wonrdering if I can write a script to ping all the servers and output the IP addresses to a text file.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

A: Hope this can help
http://smartproteam.com/shell-script-ping-multiple-hosts/

A: I finally found a VB script via here.
Basically, the script will retrieve a list of servers from servers.txt (this file contains the host names line by line) and generate a CSV file which contains comprehensive ping results of all servers.
NOTE: Do NOT name the script as 'ping.vbs' as it will use 'ping.vbs' to ping the hosts instead of 'ping' command.
Here is the script:
Const ForReading = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If not objFSO.FileExists("servers.txt") THEN
wscript.echo "Please create a file named 'servers.txt' with one PC name to be pingedper line,"&_
vbcrlf&"with a hard return at the end of each line."
wscript.quit
end if
tempobj="temp.txt"

Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("servers.txt", ForReading)
logfile="results.csv"
Set ofile=objFSO.CreateTextFile(logfile,True)
strText = objTextFile.ReadAll
objTextFile.Close
wscript.echo "Ping batch starting, please be patient.  This could take some time to"&_
vbcrlf&"finish, depending on the number of hosts to check.  You "_
&"will be "&vbcrlf&"notified upon the completion of this script."
ofile.WriteLine ","&"Ping Report -- Date: " & Now() & vbCrLf
arrComputers = Split(strText, vbCrLF)
for each item in arrcomputers
objShell.Run "cmd /c ping -n 1 -w 1000 " & item & " >temp.txt", 0, True
Set tempfile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(tempobj,ForReading)
Do Until tempfile.AtEndOfStream
temp=tempfile.readall
  striploc = InStr(temp,"[")
        If striploc=0 Then
            strip=""
        Else
            strip=Mid(temp,striploc,16)
            strip=Replace(strip,"[","")
            strip=Replace(strip,"]","")
            strip=Replace(strip,"w"," ")
            strip=Replace(strip," ","")
        End If

        If InStr(temp, "Reply from") Then
             ofile.writeline item & ","&strip&","&"Online."
        ElseIf InStr(temp, "Request timed out.") Then
             ofile.writeline item &","&strip&","&"No response (Offline)."
        ELSEIf InStr(temp, "try again") Then
             ofile.writeline item & ","&strip&","&"Unknown host (no DNS entry)."

        End If
        Loop
        Next
tempfile.close
objfso.deletefile(tempobj)
ofile.writeline
ofile.writeline ","&"Ping batch complete "&now()
wscript.echo "Ping batch completed.  The results will now be displayed."
objShell.Run("""C:\YOUR OFFICE INSTALL PATH\Microsoft Office\Office10\excel.exe """&logfile)


Because of our keen interest in golf as a sport we have been fortunate enough to have designed and supplied commercial kitchens and equipment to several local golf club houses. The design and equipment has been similar in all the golf clubs that we have dealt with.
A golf club kitchen has to provide breakfasts and light snacks for weekdays, bar meals in the evenings, Sunday carvery and the occasional club function. Fox Catering is able to produce reasonably simple design layouts that enable all of the above to become possible.

I'm always 'rediscovering' how delicious fresh fruit is when you're really hungry. I enjoy it as dessert, but really love it as an afternoon snack.
Yogurt is also easy. The healthiest option is to get unsweetened (which is really tart), I don't usually eat it without fruit mixed in.

HAWAII'S Republicans should count on local issues, such as the gas cap and tax cuts, to propel them to victory in November, while Democrats can hope that a strong negative link between the Hawaii GOP and the declining popularity of President Bush will be their best shot in the 2006 elections.
The results of the Star-Bulletin's latest Insider's Survey showed similar results from all three groups surveyed -- lobbyists, legislators and neighborhood board chairmen.
Out of 75 insiders surveyed, 32 responded.
Hawaii's controversial gas cap, which sets the maximum wholesale price of gasoline, appears to be the most politically dangerous issue facing incumbents in the fall elections.
"Republicans will link the Democrats to local issues such as the gas cap, which was a terrible decision," said one neighborhood board leader.
A Republican lobbyist warned that voters will have no sympathy for those who support the plan to control gas prices by state law.
"The politicians behind creating and imposing a gas cap and those who support continuing it are in for a rude awakening in the poll booth," predicted one veteran lobbyist.
BUT ANOTHER legislative veteran said the Democrats "should leave the damn gas cap alone because it will work in the long run. If they suspend or repeal it now, they will certainly be blamed in the future when prices start to soar."
One Democratic leader, Rep. Joe Souki of Maui, said the gas cap will particularly hurt Sen. Ron Menor, who has defended the legislation.
Since the poll question went out, Menor has proposed a plan that would suspend the gas cap, establish specific conditions under which caps would be temporarily reinstated and give control for monitoring gas prices to the Public Utilities Commission.
SEN. Will Espero (D, Ewa-Kapolei-Ewa Beach) figures "gas cap legislation had the possibility of being a major issue."
But, Espero said, since Menor backed away from the gasoline cap, "this potentially volatile issue may not be as explosive as earlier forecast."
A Republican lawmaker said that because voters "hate the gas cap," Menor's chances of winning his race for the 2nd congressional district this fall will "cap out."
Finally, Rep. Kirk Caldwell (D, Manoa) said the gasoline cap goes beyond party identification because the gas cap "hurts Hawaii's people."
"It should not be viewed through a political lens, but rather from a public policy perspective," Caldwell said.
A PUBLIC opinion poll taken for the Hawaii Business Roundtable and the Pacific Resource Partnership by OmniTrak Group Inc. released last week also shows that "a large majority of residents feel the gas cap is not working for consumers."
"Not a single demographic segment has a large percentage in agreement that the gas cap is working," the OmniTrak report said.
What to do with the state budget surplus, by either beefing up existing services or cutting taxes, is the other issue identified by insiders as a major one.
One lawmaker predicted "fiscal policy, tax cuts vs. education spending, will define the races."
"For Democrats it is taxes and their stance on taxes. Unless they demonstrate that they have tried to save taxpayers from the crushing debt in ways like the earned income tax credit and provide tax cuts to the middle class -- this may be the issue that breaks them," says former Democratic Rep. Annelle Amaral, who is now a lobbyist for Hawaii Planned Parenthood.
Another lobbyist, however, counseled Democrats to do a better job of just explaining how they need to spend the surplus money on increased services.
"The Dems need to convince the public that their tax money will be spent on services and projects that will make a real difference," the lobbyist said.
STATE and county services have been cut for nearly a decade, so the state must spend more, not cut taxes, one neighborhood board chairman said.
"The Republicans will want to move to return the surplus, and the Democrats will need to talk about how it is not really a surplus, but only paying for what we kept putting off," the community member said.
But veteran Rep. Barbara Marumoto (R, Kalani Valley-Diamond Head) says the "Democrats' soft spot will be their stubborn refusal to give back any of the huge surplus in the way of tax breaks."
"The Republicans will benefit from the desire to return some of the surplus, and the Dems looks like the usual 'tax and spenders,'" Marumoto predicted.
FOR REPUBLICANS the political problem rests not with local issues, but with their ties to an unpopular wartime president.
"The biggest issue for both Democrats and Republicans is dealing with the fallout at the state level of the Bush administration's failure at the national level," one Democratic lobbyist said.
Another Democrat said Bush will hurt the GOP, but he urged Democrats to approach the war issue carefully. Supporting Bush and the Iraq war "will definitely have a negative impact on the candidate," he said.
But candidates will lose votes if "their comments are interpreted as being unpatriotic and not supportive of our troops."
Sam Aiona, state GOP chairman, discounted the effect of Bush in local races.
"We are not voting for president of the United States; regardless of what Bush does, this election is not about the president, it is about who will be governor and who will be in the Legislature," Aiona said.
"The real issue is whether we should have a two-party system and more balance in the Legislature," Aiona said.


I was born in Whittier, California and spent many of my childhood years in Santa Barbara my family moved to Auburn and purchased a home on Shadow Drive in Lake of the Pines. In 1989, I married Shannon Bearry and we went on to become the proud parents of Lauren, Carter, Madeline, Brayden, and Gracie. The purchase of our own home in 1995 taught us a few lessons about real estate. It was at this time I committed myself to always be sensitive to the feelings and concerns of others surrounding the sale or purchase of a home. A successful real estate transaction is built upon two things: the strength of the relationship between agent and client, and the experience to get things done.
