'Tea party' helps Rubio break Beltway
Florida senator-elect's rise reflects movement
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Tuesday, November 2, 2010
If the "tea party" is the story of 2010, then Marco Rubio's rise from anti-establishment challenger to senator-elect is the story of the insurgent movement itself.
Long before Sharron Angle, Ken Buck, Joe Miller or Mike Lee ousted the establishment's hand-picked candidates in their respective Senate primaries, Mr. Rubio was the original crasher for the inside-the-Beltway crowd's party. He chased the Washington establishment's hand-picked candidate, Gov. Charlie Crist, from the Republican Party and cruised to win Florida's open Senate seat in Tuesday's election.
Now, Mr. Rubio and other new lawmakers will have to meld that mandate for change with a Washington establishment wary of them and even more afraid of the forces that powered them to office.
Tea party activists say there's good reason to fear.
"This movement has grown so furiously fast, so strong and so quickly. They may bet on us falling away and getting bored and watching reality TV, but this movement is unlike anything we've ever seen," said Tom Gaitens, a tea party leader and Florida field director for FreedomWorks. "We're coming after them. Politics is not being played the way it has been. There's just not enough money to do it their way anymore."
It says a lot about the tea party that Mr. Rubio's election victory was almost an afterthought.
His fortunes rose just as tea partiers were beginning to make themselves heard and as the civil war for the soul of the GOP heated up, with precursor battles in a special congressional election in New York late last year and then Republican Scott Brown's surprising victory in a special election in Massachusetts to fill the seat of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
He got early backing from the so-called grass-tops organizations such as FreedomWorks, a Washington-based group led by former House Republican Leader Dick Armey, and the American Conservative Union, which voted to make Mr. Brown's campaign a major project.
"I've spent more time this year across America than I have in Washington. I was amazed at the extent to which people all across the country were discovering this guy," said Mr. Armey, who has become a major organizer in the tea party movement. "I believe to a large extent in this grass-roots movement, Marco Rubio has become the face of change."
Along the way, the Cuban-American built credibility with the values voters and the limited-government sides of the Republican Party, including delivering the keynote speech at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference that marked him as a star.
"In my political lifetime, you can count the number of people like that on one hand," said David A. Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union. "Rubio is one of them."
In addition to their limited-government, spending-cuts philosophy, the tea party has been defined by a readiness to defy the edicts from Washington party leaders about which candidates to support.
Mr. Armey said he was stunned to see how quickly the National Republican Senatorial Committee anointed Mr. Crist its candidate in the Florida race last year.
For the national party, the governor checked all boxes he could raise money, he cut a good figure on television and they presumed he was popular among Republicans. But activists on the ground saw a governor who had literally embraced President Obama during the stimulus debate, and told conservative leaders in Washington that there was an alternative in Mr. Rubio, a former speaker of the Florida House.
Buoyed by the same forces driving the tea party, Mr. Rubio steadily gained in the polls among Republicans, and Mr. Crist cratered. The governor eventually abandoned the GOP and ran as an independent, leaving Mr. Rubio an easy path to the party nomination.
Since then, Mr. Rubio has been joined by Mrs. Angle in Nevada, Mr. Buck in Colorado, Mr. Miller in Alaska, Mr. Lee in Utah, Rand Paul in Kentucky and Christine O'Donnell in Delaware, among others who ousted establishment-picked Senate candidates. They were joined by giant-killer tea-party-backed candidates in House and state office races across the country.
Mr. Keene said he expects Mr. Rubio will soon be part of the White House picture.
"Unless he screws up, there isn't any limit," Mr. Keene said. "If he's successful in the next few years in the Senate, he's an obvious I think two years is too soon, but he's an obvious vice-presidential or presidential candidate."
Bill Bunting, a member of the state GOP committee and a key figure in the state's gun rights movement, said that as a concealed-carry permit holder, Mr. Rubio earns major credibility with that key constituency. He said Mr. Rubio is "just like a rock star" when he campaigns at gun shows.
Mr. Rubio also has a solid pro-life record, opposes same-sex marriage and has called for a balanced-budget amendment.
The chances for missteps will only grow, though, once Mr. Rubio arrives in Washington. Awaiting him and his tea party colleagues is a host of tough decisions on taxes, spending cuts and the leftovers of Mr. Obama's first-term agenda.
Tea party leaders said they'll be watching closely to see whether Washington-itis infects their champions.
"We're planning on some serious ways to create a metric by which we observe these legislators and keep them accountable," Mr. Gaitens said. "The real problems are not Nov. 2; the real problems become the governing of Nov. 3."
Mr. Bunting put it more bluntly: "I think that the people that have gotten him here, the grass-roots people throughout the state of Florida like myself, are going to make sure he lives up to that."

Higgsteria: We Didn t Need No U.S. Supercollider
STAFFBy Gary Stix on July 6, 2012
"Europe Overtakes U.S. in Physics Pursuing God Particle," the headline blared.
The Bloomberg News story declared that the home of Galileo and Newton has recaptured the lead in physics with its pursuit of the Higgs boson, a place in the scientific firmament that was once indisputably owned by the birthplace of Benjamin Franklin. The story goes on to quote an American physicist who works at CERN as saying the nation has given up on pushing the boundaries of science.
The idea that America is losing its mojo as the world's leading scientific and technical powerhouse has recurred ceaselessly since World War II. When one threat abates, the next one emerges: First, Sputnik and the Soviets. Next, Japan in the 1980s and, in more recent years, the menace of the new Asian behemoths and now European physics wizards.
Is there anything wrong with this picture? Are we really losing it, or is this, to liberally paraphrase historian Richard Hofstader, an example of the paranoid style in American science policy? A book that appeared last month—Is American Science in Decline?—takes a stab at answering this question.
The sociologist authors—Yu Xie of the University of Michigan and Alexandra Killewald of HarvardUniversity—stick assiduously to the facts without advancing any preconceived political agenda. After milling through massive data sets, the researchers find that the alarmists are basically Chicken Littles. American science is in pretty good shape, even if it isn't the overpumped beast that it once was.
Just a few vital statistics from the book on where the U.S. stands on the world scene in science and technology:
—40 percent of total research and development spending
—38 percent of patented new technology among industrial countries
—45 percent of the world's Nobel Prize winners in physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine through 2009
—63 percent of the world's highly cited scientific publications
—85 percent of the world's top 20 universities and 54 percent of the world's top 100 universities
The authors conclude that the U.S. retains its position as "the continuing, unchallenged world leader in science, technology and innovation." At the same time, they recognize that things are in a state of flux and that U.S. science is no longer the only game in town. The scientific enterprise has, of course, become global. One example: growth rates for new scientific publications are generally growing faster outside the U.S. Not a surprise, nor a threat.
After a 90-year run as unparalleled world leader, the U.S. has competition. But its sci-techno empire has yet to shrivel into irrelevance. A chapter on American science and globalization sums it up with this essential nugget: "Loss of dominance … is not the same thing as decline."
Viewing science as a battle of the gladiators goes back, of course, to the cold war obsession with the physical sciences as a means for the U.S. and the Soviets to puff their geopolitical pecs. Those Mad Men–era attitudes—No. 2 is not an option, mon—have not vanished entirely.
The Higgs announcement was a case in point, an opportunity for Sputnik-era scientists to lament how the U.S. could have reasserted global hegemony if only the country had gone ahead with the Superconducting Super Collider, scrapped by Congress in 1993 because of an enormous $11-billion-plus price tag. "The SSC had a big head-start on the CERN machine," Steven Weinberg, the Nobelist in physics and one-time SSC proponent, informed the Texas Tribune. "It would have been completed a decade earlier, and since it had three times the energy things would have gone faster."
Left out of that was the reality that Large Hadron Collider did not cost as much and what was the rush, really? It wasn't as if the U.S. needed to catch up with the latest generation of Soviet multiple independent targetable reentry-vehicle technology to avoid global thermonuclear annihilation. The SSC may also have been overkill. The CERN scientists appear to have found the Higgs and are promising more to come (Higgs 2, 3, etc., supersymmetric particles, you name it). But it's all a little hazy, a high-energy Brigadoon. "There's absolutely no guarantee," Weinberg told Science. "My nightmare, and it's not just me, but a lot of us [in particle physics], is that the LHC discovers the Higgs boson and nothing else. That would be like closing a door." The more powerful SSC wouldn't necessarily have done any better. (Also, see John Horgan's wonderful blog, which really gives better critical analysis on this Higgs stuff than I do.)
In the end, CERN and the LHC represent the best face of what Big Science should be. Over 10,000 scientists from more than 100 countries pitched in, including nearly 2,000 from the U.S. (Are Nobel Prizes, awarded to at most three scientists, becoming obsolete?)
The SSC was different—and, in the planning, lacked comparable international cooperation. "The U.S. is very nationalistic in its outlook, and it takes some realization that to do big things you have to partner in ways where you are not the dominant force," Barry Barish, a Caltech scientist, recounted to Bloomberg. Anyway, a machine that traverses the Franco-Swiss border, run by an organization from which the World Wide Web burst forth, seems somehow more appropriate as a symbol for the ultimate Big Science project than one in a suburb of Dallas, territory that has always had an ambivalent relationship with certain basic tenets of science.

A belated footnote: Christi Keller, Scientific American's copy capo, and the nearest thing the publication has to a god particle—she lends mass to all of our stories—discovered this essential factoid: "Higgledy-piggledy is the entry before Higgs boson in Merriam-Webster."

The world's first shark sanctuary is being created by the tiny Pacific nation of Palau to protect Great Hammerheads, Leopard Sharks, Oceanic Whitetip Sharks and more than 130 other species fighting extinction in the Pacific Ocean.

But with only one boat to patrol 240,000 square miles (621,600 square kilometers) of Palau's newly protected waters — including its exclusive economic zone, or EEZ, that extends 200 miles (320 kilometers) from its coastline — enforcement of the new measure could be almost like swimming against the tide.
Palau's president, who is to announce the news to the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, acknowledges the difficulty of patrolling ocean waters nearly the size of Texas or France with a single boat. But he hopes others will respect Palauan territorial waters — and that the shark haven inspires more such conservation efforts globally.
"Palau will declare its territorial waters and extended economic zone to be the first officially recognized sanctuary for sharks," Palauan President Johnson Toribiong told the Associated Press in an interview Thursday.
Shark fishing has grown rapidly since the mid-1980s, driven by a rising demand — mainly in China — for shark fin soup, a highly prized symbol of wealth. Because of their long life spans and low fertility rates, sharks are vulnerable to overfishing.
Within its EEZ, a nation may regulate fisheries and scientific research and develop other economic efforts. The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization estimates more than half of highly migratory sharks are overexploited or depleted.
Toribiong said a recent flyover by Australian aircraft showed more than 70 vessels fishing Palau's waters, many of them illegally.
"We'll do the very best we can, given our resources," he said. "The purpose of this is to call attention to the world to the killing of sharks for commercial purposes, including to get the fins to make shark fin soups, and then they throw the bodies in the water."
Tourists go to Palau for its spectacular diving in the tropical waters, dramatic coral and rich marine life. The remote Pacific nation recently made global headlines when it agreed to President Barack Obama's request to take a group of Uighurs — Turkic Muslims from China's far western Xinjiang region — as part of plans to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
Palau is one of the world's smallest countries, with some 20,000 people scattered over 190-square mile (490-square kilometer) archipelago of lush tropical landscapes in the Western Pacific.
Its shark sanctuary will shelter more than 135 Western Pacific species of sharks and rays considered endangered or vulnerable, or for which there is not enough data to determine how the species is faring.
"Palau has basically raised the bar for the rest of the world for shark conservation," said Matt Rand, director for global shark conservation for Washington-based Pew Environment Group, an advocacy organization.
Elsewhere, Europe is trying to crack down on shark fishing in its waters.
In February, the European Commission proposed its first-ever shark conservation rules for European waters. EU countries account for a third of shark meat exports globally, and shark steaks are increasingly served in restaurants, replacing pricier swordfish steaks, and shark products are also finding their way into lotions and leather sports shoes.
Toribiong said he also will call for a global moratorium on "shark finning" — the practice of hacking off shark fins and throwing the body back into the sea — and an end to unregulated and destructive bottom trawling on the high seas.
Palau is among 20 seafaring nations that already have voluntary agreed to end bottom trawling, which involves fishing boats that drag giant nets along the sea floor.
Enormously effective at catching fish, the nets from bottom trawling also wipe out almost everything in their path, smash coral and stir clouds of sediment that smother sea life, marine experts say.
The U.N. has called bottom trawling a danger to unique and unexplored ecological systems and said slightly more than half the underwater mountain and coral ecosystems in the world can be found beyond the protection of national boundaries.

Q: Normal Distribution Transformation Suppose we have a normal distribution like
$
f(x) = \mathcal{N}(\mu = 30, \sigma^2=10)
$
and we transform it to another function by multiplying it to
$
g(x) = 2x^2
$
the result would be:
$
f(x).g(x) = h(x) = \frac{2x^2}{\sqrt{2\pi}.\sigma}.e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2.\sigma}}
$
h(x) is not a normal distribution anymore, and it is not a p.d.f. either. The question is how we can transform it to a p.d.f?
After converting to a p.d.f, the result might not be a normal distribution. How we can find the $\mu$ for the new distribution? How about $\sigma^2$ ?

A: The simplest way would be to multiply by 1 over the integral of the new function, so that it becomes a P.D.F. As to what kind of distribution this would yields we'd have to check, but you could find the mean by regular ways, such as integration.

Mossberg 22 Long Rifle Model 702 "Plinkster" Semi-Automatic Rifle
photography by Jeff Quinn & Boge Quinn
Excellent set of fiber-optic adjustable sights.
Crossbolt safety.
Bolt locks open on an empty magazine.
Everyone needs a good 22 rifle. This has been true since the beginning of time, even centuries before rifle were invented. The need was there, realized or not. A good twenty-two is one of the most under-appreciated firearms in existence, because most folks just take them for granted. The 22 Long Rifle cartridge is the most-popular cartridge in the world, and paired with a good rifle, can fill many roles as a fine hunting, camping, and just all-around fun gun.
Shooters today have a wealth of dandy 22 rifles from which to choose, and can spend very little or a lot of money on that rifle, but a rifle which I recently discovered, but that has been around for a while, falls into the first category, and is the subject of this review; The Mossberg 702 Plinkster. Mossberg has used the name Plinkster for various rifles over the past few decades, but this new 702 is one of the most-affordable and enjoyable 22 semi-automatic rifles on the market.
I recently acquired two identical 702 Plinkster rifles. This is the version with the black synthetic stock, and the reason I decided to give them a try was because of the low price. As mentioned above, a person can spend a lot of money on a good 22 rifle, if desired, but for some people, many rifles are just priced out of their budget. The Mossberg Plinkster shown here has a suggested retail price of only $133 US, as of the date of this review, but they usually sell from between $100 and $120 retail. That is cheap! For that reason, I wanted to see just how good of a rifle could be had for a hundred bucks, and not being one to pass up a good deal, I ordered two of them.
The 702 falls under the Mossberg International banner, and is made in brazil for Mossberg. It is available in a Bantam model for youngsters and smaller shooters with a thirteen-inch length-of-pull, or full-sized with a fourteen and one-quarter inch length-of-pull. Both models are listed as weighing in at four pounds, but the one shown here weighed only three and three-quarters pounds on my scale, making for an exceptionally lightweight, handy rifle that is comfortable to carry all day.
The 702 is available with a wood stock, or synthetic stocks in a choice of black or pink finish. I opted for the black, and all variations have a blued metal finish. The tapered barrel measures eighteen inches in length, and the rifle has an overall length of thirty-seven inches. The magazine holds ten rounds, and is made of blued steel. A twenty-five-round magazine is also available, but I prefer the compact size of the ten-round version. The magazine follower serves to hold the bolt open when the magazine is empty. The bolt can also be locked into the open position by pressing inward on the retracted charging handle. The safety is a crossbolt trigger-blocking style, pushing from right-to-left to fire. The trigger pull is surprisingly good on this inexpensive rifle, weighing in at just under four pounds resistance on my digital scale.
I tested the 702 with several brands of 22 Long Rifle ammunition for velocity and function. The results with each brand and type of ammunition are listed in the chart below. HP is a lead hollowpoint bullet. Solid is a lead roundnose bullet. TC is a truncated cone solid. Velocity readings were taken at an elevation of 541 feet above sea level, with an air temperature of 47 degrees Fahrenheit, with humidity in the sixty-five percent range. Velocities are listed in feet-per-second (FPS), and were recorded twelve feet from the muzzle of the rifle. Bullet weights are listed in grains.
Ammunition Bullet Weight Velocity
Federal Bulk HP 36 1254
Winchester DynaPoint HP 40 1179

Right from the start, I experienced several failures-to-fire. The firing pin dents were light on the cartridges, but this cleared up after two magazines full of ammo. Looks like there was an excessive amount of oil around the firing pin, effectively cushioning the blow. Within twenty rounds, this was gone, and the 702 Plinkster functioned flawlessly thereafter, firing hundreds of rounds without fail. Every cartridge, using the many types listed in the chart above, fed, fired, and ejected perfectly. The bolt always locked open on an empty magazine.
Accuracy testing was conducted at fifty yards using several types of 22 LR ammo. Accuracy was outstanding; much better than expected from such an inexpensive rifle. I fired five-shot groups on target, with the aid of a Burris 6 to 18 power target scope and a Target Shooting, Inc. Model 500 rifle rest. The top of the receiver is grooved for tip-off style rimfire rings, making the mounting of a scope quick and easy. Groups measured from one-half to one and three-quarters inches, center-to-center of the widest-apart shots in each group. Some of the best-performing loads are pictured here. No group fired all day exceeded 1.75 inches. Perfect.
Removing the scope, I also fired many mags full of ammo through the rifle using the excellent open sights, which consist of an adjustable fiber-optic rear with a hooded fiber-optic front. The rear sight has windage and elevation knobs, for easy adjustments without tools. A welcome feature, and certainly not expected on a rifle in this price range. The trigger, while light in resistance, had a bit of travel before releasing, but was easy to use and effective for realizing the accuracy potential of the Plinkster.
The Mossberg 702 Plinkster is a dandy 22 rifle at an exceptional price. It is lightweight, handy, reliable, and accurate. The 702 would be a bargain at twice the price, but instead, I just bought two rifles.

Ominvest signs deal to support Omani SMEs at Expo 2020
Oman International Development and Investment Company (Ominvest) signed a strategic partnership agreement with the General Commission of the Sultanate at Expo 2020 to support Omani innovators and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) within the framework of Al Luban Initiative.
The agreement was signed by H E MohsenKhamis al Balushi, commissioner-general of the sultanate at Expo 2020; Sheikh Khalid Muhammad al Zubair, chairman of Ominvest; H E Eng RidhaJumaa al Saleh, chairman of Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry; Qais Rashid al Toubi, vice president for SMEs development at the Authority of Small and Medium Enterprises Development in Nadab; and Nada Bassam, general manager of Oman Trading Platform (Taiseer).
Dubai Expo 2020 will be held from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022 and the Oman Pavilion will be located at the Mobility District. The pavilion design is inspired by the Omani frankincense tree (Luban) and the internal space is divided into five zones that take visitors on a journey to discover Oman and its beauty.
In addition to supporting SMEs present their products through the Oman Pavilion, Ominvest will work closely with the organisers on a special initiative to help identify and showcase innovative Omani products through various platforms and opportunities inside and outside the Oman Pavilion at Expo 2020.
Khalid Muhammad al Zubair, chairman of Ominvest said, "The Omani government is making a laudable effort to present Oman in the best way possible at this important international congregation of cultures, innovations, talents, and world heritage that will last for six months. We are pleased to be collaborating closely with the Oman Pavilion in effort to promote Oman and attract business attention to ambitious and talented Omani SMEs and innovative products and services."
He added, " In line with Ominvest's purpose – Transforming Businesses to Enrich Societies – our strategic partnership at Expo 2020 aims at showcasing some of the brilliant local innovations and encouraging Omani innovators to work harder and raise their ambition; to think global while knowing that they are well supported and promoted to reach new heights."


Our annual French Poetry Contest was launched three years ago with the partnership of the Department of French and Francophone Studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS). This year's contest took place March 16 in the Irvine Auditorium at MIIS. Fifty-two candidates from regional schools and universities took part, contributing either an original poem of their pen or reciting a famous poem from French or Francophone literature. In each category (Middle School, High School, University) and at each level of study of the French language (beginner, intermediate, advanced) trophies were awarded to the winners of first, second and third prizes, as well as numerous honorable mentions. The enthusiasm and joy of candidates, added to the numerous and vigorous applause from the audience – composed of parents, teachers and friends – ensured the success of the contest.
We are very grateful to the distinguished teachers Edgard Coly and John Hedgcock from MIIS, and Professor and poet Toni O'Meara, our judges who took the time to read and evaluate original poems, and then listen and judge the recitations. We thank Mrs. Christiane d'Olive, poet, who graciously honored the assistance of his presence.
Both MIIS students that assured the operation of the Contest: Leslie Hayner assumed the role of hostess and Tovivo Gael accompanied candidates on stage to adjust their microphones.
We hope to see all these people – as well as new schools and new candidates – at our fourth French poetry contest next year.
