WASHINGTON, May 31 — After vowing to steer a greater share of antiterrorism money to the highest-risk communities, Department of Homeland Security officials on Wednesday announced 2006 grants that slashed money for New York and Washington 40 percent, while other cities including Omaha and Louisville, Ky., got a surge of new dollars.

Homeland security officials said the grants were a result of a more sophisticated evaluation process

"Your brain's good, but it's not likely going to conjure up the derivation of the Schröedinger wave equation if you've never seen it before."

Not entirely true. I loaded up my subconcious with such requests, and by morning, I had a correlated output for the Schröedinger wave equation.

Okay, it was a hairball, but I could tell I was on the right track.

My favorite trick is to feed lots and lots of info into my head and let the deep part of my mind analyze it on its own. It comes up with stuff much nicer than hairballs...but I don't think, in my case, it would work with equations like that...I tend to the social science/political/economic impact side of research, myself...

"When we got DSL they provided support for one computer only."

They may have grown more cooperative, or it could be a local thing. Call the cable support line and ask. It shouldn't hurt.

"... to feed lots and lots of info into my head and let the deep part of my mind analyze it on its own ..."

This sounds like me, too. I'm picturing myself feeding jigsaw puzzle pieces into a piggy-bank brain until I have enough to get the picture.

I'm fairly good at simple Sudoku, as long at it is played with symbols and not numbers. But even that is surprising to me, with the way my brain works these days...:o|

A priest, a Pentecostal preacher and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to the
students of the University of Montana at Missoula. They would get together
two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop.

One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all
that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.

One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment. They would
all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert
it.

Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.

Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various
bandages, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a
bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism.

Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So
I quickly grabbed my holy water , sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God,
he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him
first communion and confirmation."

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both
legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he
claimed, "WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I
FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD!
But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we
began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another
until we came to a creek.

So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said,
he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."

They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was
in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape.

The rabbi looks up and says, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have
been the best way to start."

Pretty neat! The light show is excellent.
I got a lucky win against it.
