7/22    A bunch of grannies tried to enlist in the armed forces and
        got arrested. This is not good media exposure. Why can't the armed
        forces just ask them to fill out an application and hold their
        files as "pending" forever, instead of arresting them and creating
        this media debacle? Secondly, why doesn't the armed forces just send
        them to Iraq and have them cook, or clean up barracks and toilets?

        \_ "The group has protested every week for the last three years outside
           the recruitment center."
        \_ "This was not a performance, a joke or civil disobedience," she
           said. "This was an enlistment attempt."  That is total BS.

3/21    Browser Plug-In you must get: Ghostery. It gets rid of a bunch of
        ad trackers on a web site, resulting in really fast load times.
        For example, a typical media site will require 10-15 trackers
        (you know, those URLs that track your activities so they can
        target you better). Ghostery kills them.
        \_ This has been working well for me, and breaks fewer things

        \_ how much performance gain are you expecting from using SSD?
           Let's say your 7200RPM yields 70 MB/sec (sustained) read and
           your new SSD yields 160 MB/sec read, and that your application
           is mostly streaming media (so the platter is continuous read,

        My question is how do stories like this find its way to news media?  Do
        people just go "hey something very interesting happens in our lives.

TUCSON, Arizona (AP) -- A group of anti-war senior citizens calling thems elves the "Tucson Raging Grannies" say they want to enlist in the US A rmy and go to Iraq so that their children and grandchildren can come hom e Five members of the group -- which is associated with the Women's Interna tional League for Peace and Freedom -- are due in court Monday to face t respassing charges after trying to enlist at a military recruitment cent er last week. The group has protested every week for the last three years outside the r ecruitment center. "We went in asking to be sent to Iraq so our kids and grandchildren can b e sent home, but rather than listening to us, they called the police," s aid 74-year-old Betty Schroeder. "It was their place to tell us the qual ifications, but they wouldn't even speak to us. "' Schroeder said her group may approach the Pentagon to see if they could b e sent to Iraq. Nancy Hutchinson, spokeswoman at the Army recruiting headquarters in Phoe nix which oversees Tucson's recruiters, said people who disagree with th e war should be contacting their legislators instead of bothering recrui ters. "They need to direct their frustrations at people who have the power to c hange things," Hutchinson said. "Recruiters don't make policy and they c an't change policy. " Schroeder said she hopes the trespassing charges will be dropped and an a pology given to the group from the Tucson Police Department and from the recruiters. "This was not a performance, a joke or civil disobedience," she said.
