Skip to comments.Proposed Law Would Force Churches to Host Gay Weddings [Where's The Revolution?]

Proposed Law Would Force Churches to Host Gay Weddings
Apr 23, 2012 By Todd Starnes Religious liberty groups are blasting a proposed ordinance that would force churches in Hutchinson, Kan. to rent their facilities for gay weddings and gay parties.
The Hutchinson City Council will consider adding sexual orientation and gender identity to the protected classes in the citys human relations code. They are expected to vote on the changes next month.
According to the Hutchinson Human Relations Commission, churches that rent out their buildings to the general public would not be allowed to discriminate against a gay couple who want to rent the building for a party.
Meryl Dye, a spokesperson for the Human Relations Commission confirmed to Fox News that churches would be subjected to portions of the proposed law.
They would not be able to discriminate against gay and lesbian or transgender individuals, Dye said. That type of protection parallels to what you find in race discrimination. If a church provides lodging or rents a facility they could not discriminate based on race. Its along that kind of thinking.
Matthew Staver, chairman of the Liberty Counsel Action, told Fox News the proposed law is un-American.
It is a collision course between religious freedom and the LGBT agenda, Staver said. This proposed legislation will ultimately override the religious freedom that is protected under the First Amendment.
(Excerpt) Read more at radio.foxnews.com ...
What it means is that they will stop renting to anybody.
If this happens, I hope it is immediately stayed by a court. It's a blatant violation of freedom of religion.
Heyyyyyy! I have an idea!
Go to Hell and Burn!
Nothing like a lame ordinance in a vain attempt to undermine the 1st amendment.
It will never pass a challenge.
In my hometown the Baptist Church is made of white brick. The church built a building across the street and matched the brick. It is rented out to the general public. One day a black woman called and wanted to use the building. She was told the fee and the woman said they couldn't charge her a fee because it is a government building. When asked why she thought it was a government building she said "Because all buildings made of white brick are government buildings."
I have a feeling before too long the church will have to start allowing certain people to use it for free.
Separation of church and government works both ways. If you decide to step on my toes, all bets are off.
Whatever happened to private property rights? If I have a building I should be able to rent it to whomever I please. A church is privately owned.
If not then why can the NAACP boot Alan West and still maintain it's tax free status?
Hutch? Really? WTF?
I guess I need to grab a paper the next time I'm in the convenience store.
I think that new city elections are due, immediately.
Try the "recall" process against these leftist aholes.
Remember, Sebelius once ran Kansas, right into the leftist cesspool and now she's doing it to the country.
It is time that the taxpayers of Hutchinson took control of their city and cleaned house with Ex-Lax. Then abolish the Human Rights Commission/COuncil/Outhouse.
As far as religious freedom being protected at this level, check out the following FR thread and read a couple of paragraphs from the bottom of butterdezillion's posting about Romney:
(I know you're no Newt fan, but try to ignore that and check out the freedom of religion points of the post :-)
Scary stuff.
Your spelling is horrible! As a male 1/20th native lesbian I must agree with something! I'LL USE SOME CAPS!!!!
Surely you jest.
Two Words: Private Donation - i.e. you let church members have the hall or wedding for free and then ask for a private donation of over a certain amount.
Looks like the time to choose between obeying God's laws or man's laws will be soon upon the whole nation. If abominable
laws like this pass at the local level,look for it nationally.
Any business or organization can voluntarily pretend "marry" publicly two people of the same sex, and they're perfectly free to do so, and gay couples can behave as they please. By the same token, if churches and businesses and organizations and communities opt to turn away any dealings with openly homosexual "customers," that's their right, too. Gay "rights" seek to deny that right, and anti-discrimination laws have gone a long way to fomenting footing for an immoral lifestyle that's now infecting teens.
Limited government conservative philosophy is one that's a friend to morality -- the biggest opponent to Americans' living morally IS the government!
What about the mosque up the street?
Reductio ad absurdum: Definition:a form of argument in which a proposition is disproven by following its implications logically to an absurd consequence.
A Hutchinson Church probibits marriage as being one other than between a man and a woman.
A proposed descrimination ordinance would prohibit all churches in Hutchinson, Kan. from renting out their facilities for gay wedding.
Therefore, churches in Hutchinson Kansas are free to practice their religion.
Law hasn't been passed yet, only proposed. Time for revolution.. when and if it passes. Or Obama implements the policy by executive order, stating, "We Can't Wait" or some other happy horse pucky, like he did when the EPA declared CO2 to be a pollutant. (Nobody asked the trees and other green plants). Or when he mandated that Churches and religious institutions such as hospitals run by religious orders, would have to pay for birth control if they offered health insurance to their employees.
There are 42k residents of the city. If you use known statistics...the Catholic, Baptist, and Christian Churches in the area make up around 27 percent of the population. I could count the Methodists for 17 percent...but I suspect that they might have been the ones behind this law change.
I'm pretty sure if they all united under one umbrella...they could pull down at least one member of the city council. If you note their city gov't....it consists of one mayor, one vice-mayor, one at-large city council person, and two other city council folks.
But let me add this. Someone has likely come along with an agenda to divide the town. Some naive individuals have sat in a meeting and bought off on various rule changes....without really considering where it leads to. I think the ultimate goal here....divide up the town into two camps and keep them focused on some division. They didn't have to pick on this church rule....but obviously, it was pulled out of a magician's hat and made into a division topic.
I said this would happen if the right to "marriage" was given to them. Not many agreed with me.
This is nothing. Wait until Catholic Chaplains on military bases are told to perform marriage ceremonies or get tossed off the bases.
Imagine a military with no Chaplains.
It's coming as sure as the sun rises.
This is happening in Kansas? Id expect it to be somewhere in California.
No, just stop renting to non-members of the Church.
Sorry, if I do not wish to do business or associate with whomever, on whatever criteria I wish to use, it should be my decision and not the d@mn government.
As a Christian I could NOT perform /nor allow such blasphemy be allowed desecrate Sacred Ground. If Hutchinson KS chooses to REPROBATE and make all there be as Sodom or like unto Gomorrah it is high time for the righteous to hear the prophet and "Come out of her My people!" God knows how to provide salvation to the righteous but Hutchinson KS ought consider what will happen when God cannot find even ten righteous men in that wicked City?
Several years ago our congregation already adopted a resolution that we will only allow use of our building to church members, or those whom are sponsored by members, in anticipation of Maryland allowing same sex marriage.
"...this all began with the Civil Rights Act."
No, it began with a false interpretation/perversion of the Civil Rights Act.
I still don't understand this need, both by apostate Catholics and the government, for the sacrament of Matrimony! Marriage, so far as most governments are concerned,is a civil union, and those governments accept reception of the sacrament as proof of the civil union (although France and perhaps other European countries require a separate civil ceremony). There can't be any question at all that this administration, along with the gay-lesbian community, need the complicity of the Church to accomplish their social-engineering ends. And it's not going to happen.
The Enterprise Task Force got deployed with no Catholic Chaplain.
That's easy enough to deal with... Church Facilities may only be rented to active members in good standing.
Most rentals are to civic organizations that at least 1 member of the churhc is part of anyway... so problem solved, heretics stifled,
That and you sue the city for violation of the freedom of association and freedom of religion clauses for damages in the meantime.
I guess that makes it all right then?
It's all about the new, all-encompassing tool the Leftists have called "public accommodation." Now, they can deem anything they want a public accommodation, and they have full control.

A pleasant distraction
November 26 2009 09:56AM
While the Oilers continue their slide into despair, dropping a 3-1 decision to the regal ice-dancers of Los Angeles, not everything is looking quite so down in the dumps at OilersNation. We can at least turn our attention to the Beat the Heat campaign...
How are we doing?
The Oilers aren't doing so great... But Edmontonians and Citizens of the Nation are coming through in fine style. Lynda Steele emailed me the other day to let me know exactly how well things are going so far:
"$1900 has been donated online so far... yay!! We've got several gift donations here at Global, and our 9 external locations are reporting drop offs as well.
"Things should pick up on Saturday; a local Mustang car club is coming by the station with a flatbed truck full of Christmas presents. Also Saturday, the clients at Spark Sport Conditioning are holding a one-day fitness fundraiser with a goal to raise $35,000 for Give Me Shelter."
And according to Trevor Belsher from Original Joe's, Smid, Penner and Cogs have scored a total of 16 goals — which means we've raised another $1,600!
Even in the face of defeat and a crappy record, Oilers fans are pulling through.
If you aren't too depressed to eat, then find your way to any Edmonton area Original Joe's on Friday and order a burger. Any burger. Something with ground beef in it. One dollar from every burger purchased on Friday will be donated to the Give Me Shelter campaign.
Beating the Heat
I don't know about you, but I'm still STILL! thinking we can beat San Jose on Friday. And you know why? Because Smid, Cogliano and Penner know that they're playing against the guy they were on the chopping block for this summer. Hey, that's the whole reason we're doing the Beat the Heat campaign.
And in spite of the shitanusly™ bad performance of the Mighty Oil yesterday, I'm sure at least a FEW of you still want to go to a friday-night hockey game. And we want to send you to one.
Original Joe's and Gregor's Just A Game are auctioning off two tickets to the Friday game against the Sharks. Not only that, but you get a free meal at any OJ's location AND a limo ride to and from the game, thanks to the people at Eternity Limousines.
The bidding starts today at 3pm on Just A Game, so make sure you tune your AM dial to the TEAM 1260 to get in on the action.
November 26 2009, 10:04AM
Wow, good work team! Imagine how much more money would be raised if the team was winning and people didn't have to spend their extra dollars to drown their sorrows!

I've been reading a few post about naruto being stronger than Chunin level, etc. I think is time to clarify "again", that this is naruto and not dragon ball where Saiyan-jin phase 3 is stronger than Saiyan-jin phase 2. Genin, Chunin and Junin are ranks not level of strenght.
Source:Wikipedia english
Genin (下忍, Genin? literally "Low Ninja", Viz "Junior Ninja") are the lowest level of ninja and also the ones that display the most difference in power. When they become Genin, ninja start to do their bit for their village's economy – being sent on missions that the village gets paid for. They are typically sent either on D-rank missions, which are the lowest rank and are almost entirely risk-free jobs of manual labor, or, very rarely, on C-rank missions, which are a cut above that and begin to verge on real "ninja" work – though they generally have a very low possibility of risk to the ninja involved, especially since their Jonin level sensei often accompanies them. Recently, Konohagakure has been shorthanded in upper-level ninja ever since the attack by Otogakure and Sunagakure, and has been forced to occasionally send Genin on higher-ranked missions, often without the supervision of a Jonin.
Chunin (中忍, Chūnin?, literally "Middle Ninja", Viz "Chūnin" and "Journeyman Ninja") are ninja who are qualified to watch over and guide other ninja. Chunin have reached a level of maturity that primarily consists of leadership skills and tactical prowess. Some of them, like Iruka Umino, function as teachers and others, like Shikamaru Nara, serve as team leaders in charge of small teams who need to make decisions and utilize the skills of the shinobi under their command to the maximum effect. Chunin are typically sent on C or B-rank missions.
To become a Chunin, a Genin participates in a large examination with his or her team, known as the "Chunin Exams". The only shown exam is a three-stage exam: the first stage tests their information gathering abilities and decision-making abilities (as well as their overall understanding of the ninja philosophy), the second stage tests their abilities at accomplishing a mission and adhering to guidelines, and the third consists of fights between those who passed the previous two stages, watched by a council that decides who becomes a Chunin and who does not. While the winners are able to proceed to fight the next opponent, aptitude, rather than winning, is evaluated to determine whether a candidate is promoted; for example, Shikamaru forfeits his first match but is still promoted because of his strategic aptitude in deciding to forfeit because he knew that his Chakra was too low to continue. This way, anybody who makes it to the third stage of the Exams has a chance to become Chunin. However, it is also possible for none of the candidates to become Chunin if the judges believe that they do not have appropriate qualifications.
Jonin (上忍, Jōnin?, literally "High Ninja", Viz "Elite Ninja") are generally highly-experienced ninja with great individual skill who serve as military captains. They are often sent on A-rank missions, and experienced Jonin may even be sent on S-rank missions (which are considered to be the most difficult). They may also carry out these missions alone. They are sometimes assigned as sensei for three-person teams of Genin. It is as of yet unknown what one has to undergo to become one, although it is mentioned in the Naruto Anime Profiles databook that Jonin are appointed, however there was also a mention of a Jonin exam in the Kurama filler arc. Most Jonin are able to use at least two types of elemental jutsu.
Tokubetsu Jonin (特別上忍, Tokubetsu Jōnin?, literally "Special High Ninja" English "Special Jonin", sometimes known as Tokujō for short) are ninja who, rather than all-around Jonin training, have Jonin-level ability in a single area or skill, much like warrant officers of real-world militaries. They are elite specialists in their areas and are often assigned as subordinates to regular Jonin when their services are needed.
One example of a Tokubetsu Jonin would be Ibiki Morino. This character's unique ability to completely understand the workings of the human mind makes him a Jonin-level interrogation expert. Ebisu is another Tokubetsu Jonin that specializes as an elite teacher of young pre-Genin ninja before becoming Konohamaru's sensei in Part II.
Those who have achieved the title of Kage (影, Kage? literally "Shadow") are the leaders of the five most powerful Hidden Villages and generally the most powerful ninja in their respective villages. There may be exceptions, however; for example, a ninja may be the most powerful at the time of being installed as Kage, but may become less powerful upon aging, eventually being surpassed by a more youthful ninja.
Their elite status is also attributed to the tendency for most Kage to have family members who were previous Kage, or be personally taught by a former Kage or student of a former Kage. Examples of this occurrence include Gaara, who succeeded his father as Kazekage; the Fourth Hokage, who was taught by the Third Hokage's student Jiraiya; Tsunade, granddaughter of the First Hokage, grandniece of the Second Hokage, and former student of the Third Hokage; and the Third Hokage who was taught by both the First Hokage and Second Hokage.
Hopes this clarifies everything for those talking about saiyan-jin level one or of chunin being a mere level of strenght.

Putting aside problems of grammar, Takashi Miike's "Lesson of the Evil" is nothing more than a slick slasher pic of debatable merit, except to die-hard fans of the genre.
Putting aside problems of grammar, Takashi Miike's "Lesson of the Evil" is nothing more than a slick slasher pic of debatable merit, except to die-hard fans of the genre. Miike has of course never been one to bother with the finer points of taste, let alone decency, yet given recent history, there's something particularly troubling about a gleeful gorefest that climaxes with high-school students being mowed down by a psychopath. Perhaps making the perp their teacher allows enough differentiation to comfort those involved, though others should be more dubious. Miike keeps churning 'em out, and fests keep slotting 'em in.The cult helmer is firmly in splatter mode, more in line with "Fudoh: The New Generation" and "Audition" than his more restrained (for him) recent pics. A Miike-produced four-part miniseries titled "Lesson of the Evil: Prologue" began airing mid-October, and is presumably stirring up local biz before its big brother hits theaters later this month. Apparently the smallscreen storyline provides background, though enough is provided in the movie, which ends with a "To be continued" note, suggesting there's plenty more material to play with. English teacher Hasumi (Hideaki Ito, "Sukiyaki Western Django") is the kind of instructor schoolgirls swoon over: good-looking, dynamic and empathetic. Of course, no one knows he's a sociopath who murdered his parents while still in his teens. Physics teacher Tsurii (Mitsuru Fukikoshi) suspects something isn't right; he's discovered that Hasumi's last school experienced a wave of suicides, but nothing points to him directly. Hasumi learns that student Miya (Erina Mizuno) is being sexually harassed by gym teacher Shibahara (Takayuki Yamada) and suggests a way to stop it. He also doesn't resist the young woman's pass at him, and the two start a fling at the apartment of rich, gay art teacher Kume (Takehiro Hira), who's having his own inappropriate affair with student Masahiko (Kento Hayashi). Despite the cozy setup, a few bothersome individuals annoy Hasumi, so he knocks them off in creative ways, all accompanied on the soundtrack by various versions of "Mack the Knife." Flashbacks, especially to his time in the U.S. under the influence of his even more psychotic friend, Clay (Jab), make clear the depths of Hasumi's depravity, so his subsequent nefarious actions don't come as much of a shock. At this point, the art direction becomes the movie's most impressive element. No doubt there are many who will enjoy each and every discharged casing, and even squeamish auds will be relieved when some of the screechier students get blasted to kingdom come. It's precisely this element that's so objectionable: Even were the memory of the Breivik massacre, among others, not so fresh, there's something deeply unseemly about turning a high-school bloodbath into an adrenaline-pumping pleasure ride. Ito is undeniably charismatic and enjoys the role to the hilt. Ever the professional, Miike knows how to put together a good-looking, well-made package, and there's nothing to fault him with technically, except for the aforementioned overuse of "Mack the Knife."

Angle rolls feature new low-profile design
Carell Corp. has introduced a new lower-profile design on its 4-, 5-, and 6-in.-capacity angle rolls. The new design gives operators a more direct line of site to the material during rolling, which can eliminate the need for a pit in many circumstances.
The machines employ independent hydraulic drives direct-coupled to each of the three roll shafts. This eliminates gears, which helps reduce maintenance and increase efficiency, the company states.

Posted on 11/10/2011 4:19:15 PM PST by Tench_Coxe
ATLANTA (CBS Atlanta) The home base for Occupy Atlanta has tested positive for tuberculosis.
The Fulton County Health Department confirmed Wednesday that residents at the homeless shelter where protesters have been occupying have contracted the drug-resistant disease
(Excerpt) Read more at atlanta.cbslocal.com ...
We`re on the same schadenfreude wave length ;-)
Ooooh, an outbreak of karma. (-:
"Well, we've had rapes, theft, beatings, obscenities, killings, mindless gibbering by the drove, now resistant TB. Sounds like a convention of the Young Democrats."
That or an SEIU convention.
Seems to me that people who donate to homeless shelters need to be made aware that their donations are being used to house marxists who simply want free stuff.
Reminds me of a story from this spring here in Michigan. The SEIU hired some homeless guys from a shelter to picket a small construction company. It turned out that the owner of the company "was" the single largest donor to the shelter.
So, the people who hate capitalism are at risk of getting a disease once called "consumption"?
How fitting.
If feel badly for the real homeless they've exposed to TB, the real homeless they've displaced, the real homeless whose meals they eat.
That's a shame because the homeless guys were pawns. It's no surprise SEIU would exploit homeless. It's unlikely the "protesters" had any knowledge or motive other than happy to have some income.
Oh really I was expecting Ebola.
Tuberculosis? Very mild considering.
So, the people who hate capitalism are at risk of getting a disease once called consumption?
***How fitting.***
If it was a hot summer protest maybe there would be an outbreak of cholera. Since winter is coming on I guess we can plan on some Pneumonia to go along with the TB.
And they will need doctors and evil Big Pharma meds.
What a terrible shame, those poor homeless people being exposed to diseases carried in by the communist occupation force.
What's next from those filthy animals? Ebola?
That's the only thing about this charade that is not in the least bit funny. I'm sure a good number of those homeless are impaired in some way, have fallen prey to addiction, or are really down on their luck.
I have *zero* sympathy for the OWS folks. They are the epitome of the mindset that seems to be ingrained in the left, and IMHO, is evident in scandals like Solyndra, albeit on a different level. Part of that mindset (often attributed to the right) is stepping on others to "get yours". What makes it scary is that it is justified by the idea that it is ok to step on others if "your cause is just".
hmmm TB,head lice,rapes, theft could be disinformation to get them to leave on their own
Could be a rumor started by the "government" to empty the camp.
Given all the 'rats there, I would have guessed the plague, though.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
That was my first thought, too. these spoiled brats are taking beds and food away from real homeless people. Shameful!
Yes. In my area charities and food businesses are donating food to this movement,which includes many Ivy League college students. Food from places that normally give to the poor and homeless. There are some homeless in the park the occupiers inhabit so supposedly that makes it okay. You wouldn't believe the stuff they get for free.
Horrible that this group of homeless mentioned in the article have now had their health endangered even futher.
By the way,the police have identified level 3 sex offenders living in the "People's Park" in my state.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 5:57 PM GMT on January 25, 2010
Former TV weatherman Anthony Watts, who runs the popular global warming contrarian website, "Watts Up With That", was convinced that many of the U.S. network of surface weather stations had serious flaws in their siting that was causing an artificial warm bias in the observed increase in U.S. temperatures of 1.1°F over the past century. To address this concern, Watts established the website surfacestations.org in 2007, which enlisted an army of volunteers to travel the U.S. to obtain photographic evidence of poor siting of weather stations. The goal was to document cases where "microclimate" influence was important, and could be contaminating temperature measurements. (Note that this is a separate issue from the Urban Heat Island, the phenomenon where a metropolitan area in general is warmer than surrounding rural areas). Watts' volunteers--650 strong--documented the siting of 865 of the 1,218 stations used in the National Climatic Data Center's U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) for tracking climate change. As reported in Watt's 2009 publication put out by the Heartland Institute, the volunteers "found stations located next to the exhaust fans of air conditioning units, surrounded by asphalt parking lots and roads, on blistering-hot rooftops, and near sidewalks and buildings that absorb and radiate heat." Watts surmised that these poorly-sited stations were responsible for much of the increase in U.S. temperatures over the past century, due to "a bias trend that likely results from the thermometers being closer to buildings, asphalt, etc." Watts concluded, "the U.S. temperature record is unreliable. And since the U.S. record is thought to be the best in the world, it follows that the global database is likely similarly compromised and unreliable".
Figure 1. A poorly sited temperature sensor in Marysville, California, used for the USHCN. The sensor is situation right next to an asphalt parking lot, instead in the middle of a grassy field, as it is supposed to be. The sensor is also adjacent to several several air conditioners that blow their exhaust into the air nearby. Image credit: surfacestation.org.
Analysis of the data disagrees with Watts' conclusion
While Watts' publication by the Heartland Institute is a valuable source of information on siting problems of the U.S. network of weather stations, the publication did not undergo peer-review--the process whereby three anonymous scientists who are experts in the field review a manuscript submitted for publication, and offer criticisms on the scientific validity of the results, resulting in revisions to the original paper or outright rejection. The Heartland Institute is an advocacy organization that accepts money from corporate benefactors such as the tobacco industry and fossil fuel industry, and publishes non-peer reviewed science that inevitably supports the interests of the groups paying for the studies. Watts did not actually analyze the data to see if taking out the poorly sited surface stations would have a significant impact on the observed 1.1°F increase in U.S. temperatures over the past century. His study would never have been publishable in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
Figure 2. Annual average maximum and minimum unadjusted temperature change calculated using (c) maximum and (d) minimum temperatures from good and poor exposure sites (Menne 2010). Poor sites showed a cooler maximum temperature compared to good sites. For minimum temperature, the poor sites were slightly warmer. The net effect was a cool bias in poorly sited stations. The dashed lines are for stations ranked by NOAA, while the solid lines are for the stations ranked by surfacestations.org.
Fortunately, a proper analysis of the impact of these poorly-sited surface stations on the U.S. historical temperature record has now been done by Dr. Matthew Menne and co-authors at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). In a talk at last week's 90th Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society, Dr. Menne reported the results of their new paper just accepted for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research titled, On the reliability of the U.S. Surface Temperature Record. Dr. Menne's study split the U.S. surface stations into two categories: good (rating 1 or 2) and bad (ratings 3, 4 or 5). They performed the analysis using both the rating provided by surfacestations.org, and from an independent rating provided by NOAA personnel. In general, the NOAA-provided ratings coincided with the ratings given by surfacestations.org. Of the NOAA-rated stations, only 71 stations fell into the "good" siting category, while 454 fell into the "bad" category. According to the authors, though, "the sites with good exposure, though small in number, are reasonably well distributed across the country and, as shown by Vose and Menne [2004], are of sufficient density to obtain a robust estimate of the CONUS average". Dr. Menne's study computed the average daily minimum and maximum temperatures from the good sites and poor sites. The results were surprising. While the poor sites had a slightly warmer average minimum temperature than the good sites (by 0.03°C), the average maximum temperature measured at the poor sites was significantly cooler (by 0.14°C) than the good sites. As a result, overall average temperatures measured at the poor sites were cooler than the good sites. This is the opposite of the conclusion reached by Anthony Watts in his 2009 Heartland Institute publication.
Why did the poorly sited stations measure cooler temperatures?
The reason why the poorly-sites stations measured cooler temperatures lies in the predominant types of thermometers used at the two types of sites. An electronic Maximum/Minimum Temperature System (MMTS) is used at 75% of the poor sites. These MMTS sensors are attached by cable to an indoor readout device, and are consequently limited by cable length as to how far they can be sited from the building housing the indoor readout device. As a result, they are often located close to heated buildings, paved surfaces, air conditioner exhausts, etc. It turns out that these MMTS thermometers have a flaw that causes them to measure minimum temperatures that are slightly too warm, and maximum temperatures that are considerably too cool, leading to an overall cool bias in measured average temperatures. In contrast, only 30% of the "good" sites used the MMTS sensors. The "good" sites predominantly used Liquid in Glass (LiG) thermometers housed in wooden shelters that were more easily located further from the buildings where the observers worked. Since the poorly-sites stations were dominantly equipped with MMTS thermometers, they tended to measure temperatures that were too cool, despite their poor siting.
Figure 3. Comparison of U.S. average annual (a) maximum and (b) minimum temperatures calculated using USHCN version 2 temperatures. Temperatures were adjusted to correct for changes in instrumentation, station relocations, and changes in the time of observation, making the trend from good sites show close agreement with poor sites. Good and poor site ratings are based on surfacestations.org. For comparison, the data between 2004 - 2008 taken by the new high-quality U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN, black dashed line) is shown, and displays excellent agreement for that time period. Image credit: Menne 2010.
Independent verification of recent USHCN annual temperatures
Clearly, the siting of many of the surface stations used to track climate change in the U.S. is not good. To address this issue, in 2004 NOAA created the U.S. Climate Reference Network, a collection of 114 stations in the continental United States for the express purpose of detecting the national signal of climate change. The stations were sited and instrumented with climate studies in mind, and can provide an extremely high-quality independent check on the old USHCN network. Each of 114 stations at 107 locations (some stations were installed as nearby pairs) is equipped with very accurate instruments in a triplicate configuration so that each measurement can be checked for internal consistency. As shown in Figure 3, the USCRN air temperature departures for 2004 - 2008 are extremely well aligned with those derived from the USHCN version 2 temperature data. For these five years, the the difference between the mean annual temperatures measured by the old USHCN compared to the new USCRN was just 0.03°C, with a mathematical correlation coefficient (r-squared) of 0.997. Menne et al. concluded, "This finding provides independent verification that the USHCN version 2 data are consistent with research-quality measurements taken at pristine locations and do not contain spurious trends during the recent past even if sampled exclusively at poorly sited stations. While admittedly this period of coincident observations between the networks is rather brief, the value of the USCRN as a benchmark for reducing the uncertainty of historic observations from the USHCN and other networks will only increase with time". The authors finally concluded, "we find no evidence that the CONUS temperature trends are inflated due to poor siting".
Crediting Anthony Watts
The surfacestations.org effort coordinated by Anthony Watts has made a valuable contribution to science, helping us better understand the nature of the errors in the U.S. historical temperature data set. In his talk last week at the AMS conference, and in the credits of his paper, Dr. Menne had some genuinely grateful comments on the efforts of Anthony Watts and the volunteers of surfacestations.org. However, as of this writing, Watts has made no mention on surfacestations.org or on wattsupwiththat.com of Dr. Menne's study.

Associated Press
NEW YORK - Diane Sawyer's Election Night performance left some viewers asking if she had begun celebrating Tuesday's election a bit early.
Co-anchoring ABC News' coverage, the veteran journalist struck a different manner from her practiced, straight-news-delivering style.
Sawyer spoke more slowly than usual while seeming to prop herself on outstretched arms at the anchor desk she shared with George Stephanopoulos.
"OK," she said at one point around 10 p.m. EST, "I wanna -- can we have our music, because this is another big one here? Minnesota, we're ready to project Minnesota, rrright now. ... Well, tonight we know that President Barack has won Minnesota," she rambled on, stumbling over the president's name.
Maybe Sawyer was just weary from the recent torrent of news.

Public Folders have been traditionally used for Vacation & Room Calendars. You would create your meeting or put your vacation on your personal calendar then you would have to go to the public folder and make a separate appointment on the Vacation Calendar or Conference Room Calendar. Room and Vacation calendars that were in use in Public Folders have been migrated into Office 365 into their own account, much like yours and mine.
Now you will simply schedule your appointment and include the resource! The resource will automatically accept in most cases (some rooms will require an authorization). You will be able to add the resource calendars to your calendar view in Office 365, but you can see the resource's availability in your appointment request just like your other attendees.

Data Privacy is important at UW Bothell. There have been many news stories over the past couple of years that have put data privacy in headline news. For example this week's story on the University of Maryland where more than 300,000 personal records for faculty, staff and students were compromised in a computer security breach. These stories have ignited debates, and prompted questions, about the increasingly complex relationship between individuals, the online data they create or is about them, and how that data is protected, used and shared. Privacy is a complex topic – the definition of privacy itself varies widely – but there are steps people can take to protect privacy and personal information the best they can. Here at the University of Washington Bothell we take Data Privacy seriously. Here are some steps that help us achieve the goal of safe guarding the data of our campus community:
Implementing these tips and advice, help make the Internet safer, more private and secure for all. If you have any questions please feel free to contact UW Bothell IT.

Uncontrolled or slow movement is a problem with muscle tone, usually in large muscle groups. The problem leads to slow, uncontrollable, jerky movements of the head, limbs, trunk, or neck.
Dystonia; Involuntary slow and twisting movements; Choreoathetosis; Leg and arm movements - uncontrollable; Arm and leg movements - uncontrollable; Slow involuntary movements of large muscle groups; Athetoid movements
The abnormal movement may be reduced or disappear during sleep. Emotional stress makes it worse.
Abnormal and sometimes strange postures may occur because of these movements.
The slow twisting movements of muscles (athetosis) or jerky muscle contractions (dystonia) may be caused by one of many conditions, including:
Sometimes two conditions (such as a brain injury and medication) interact to cause the abnormal movements when neither one alone would cause a problem.
The doctor will perform a physical exam. This may include a detailed examination of the nervous and muscle systems.
The doctor will ask about your medical history and symptoms, including:
Tests that may be ordered include:
Treatment is based on the movement problem the person has and on the condition that may be causing the problem. If medicines are used, the health care provider will decide which medicine to prescribe based on the person's symptoms and signs.
Get enough sleep and avoid too much stress. In severe cases, take safety measures to avoid injury. Follow the treatment your health care provider prescribed.
Call your health care provider if:

The Olsen Twins are determined to make their denim-centric TEXTILE Elizabeth & James line a thriving, distinguishable brand, rather than a capsule spin-off from the more established Elizabeth & James brand. Do not mistake TEXTILE as a diffusion line; the price points are pretty similar. For the Fall 2011 lookbook, artfully patched jeans in colorful blocks of overlapping fabric is the stand-out feature. The rest of the collection is a slubby, laid-back California vibe (note the poncho, layering tees and longjohns). There is some hint of the '70s trend via the flared jeans (if the model's blond, tousled hair is no indicator), but fall looks to be less '70s than the current Spring-Summer 2011 collection. Check out a few of our favorites or view the entire denim selection in the gallery.

Story highlights
- Morocco becoming known as a surfer's paradise
- Town of Essaouira used to do a big trade in fish - now it's famous for its surfing
- Many fishermen have traded in their nets to set up surf schools
For many tourists, Morocco is best known for its historic cities, rugged landscape and sumptuous cuisine. But for surfers, it's fast becoming known for the crashing waves that pound its Atlantic coastline.
For decades, fish has been big business in Essaouira, the charming, former Portuguese settlement on the west coast of Morocco. As stocks have depleted, however, the locals have started to shift their focus to more lucrative industries. While the seas no longer possess the riches they once did, for many inhabitants, they still represent a lifeline -- only now the biggest catch is the tourists riding the waves.
Abdullah Aitdir is one of those who have taken advantage of this business opportunity. His father ran a grocery store in the nearby village of Taghazout, which Aitdir has converted into a surf school.
"Surfing is more profitable," he explains. "Even if it's seasonal, it's still good."
In recent years he has seen a move towards a more organized, better regulated surfing industry.
"It used to be chaos," says Aitdir. "Everyone would just come and try to [enter] the surfing industry without paying any taxes, and there were no regulations. Now, there are more rules," he adds.
With Morocco boasting more than 300 sunshine days a year and 1,800 km of coastline, it's little wonder that surfing is proving profitable. Check out the gallery above and video below to see why Morocco is becoming a surfing hotspot.

I'm going to tell you a story about a horrible image that will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life, but I'm warning you that you might not want to hear what I'm about to say. My description might embed itself in your brain forever, like it's done inside mine, and the thing I'm going to talk about is very, very upsetting. So I warned you, okay?
Here goes. A few months ago, I was taking a train to visit some family about an hour outside of New York City. It was late morning and I was a little hungover. I get on the train and saw that the man next to me had brought with him carrying a two-liter Sunkist orange soda bottle — but inside was not the day-glo, fizzy elixir typical of such containers. No, inside was two liters of… oh my god… of milk. Can you imagine? The cognitive dissonance was unsettling enough, but having sit next to a person chugging milk, on the train, on a hot day, while hungover, was one of the most repulsive experiences I've ever had. Ugh!
All of that is to say that I appreciate this photo series published by Vice. Staged and shot by Mike de Leon, these pictures make the most compelling argument against Public Dairy Consumption that I've seen since my own unfortunate and unforgettable experience.

They abandon their armchairs for rubber boots, and their armor heavy and hot. Instead of trading jokes they relay directions, and orders, and shout reports of the status of the ENEMY--- "FLAMES ARE VISIBLE"
Fear and excitement grip the hearts of the freshest rookie to the oldest veteran as they jump into their big red fire trucks, perfect from washing, waxing and checking over and over. They pray that they have made no mistakes. The driver navigates the BRFT(big red fire truck) through the tight city streets that he knows as well as his family, dodging those that get into the way, hoping those he can't avoid will see him first.
They spot the ENEMY from blocks away - the column of smoke rises far above the trees, licking the sky.
They arrive at the scene, and again the battle cry is heard---- "FLAMES ARE VISIBLE"
Smoke fills the air and their lungs as they approach, hoses snaking, crisscrossing, coming to life as they surge the water from the fire hydrants to the fire trucks, that then sends the water to the hoses, turning them into weapons to use against the enemy.
The firefighters force open the front door, and a flash of liquid orange flame rolls out into the air trying to escape its defeat. With swords of water and suits of armor the firefighters advance into the structure, that is fully involved with flame, heat, and smoke.
They battle the BEAST nine or ten against one seemingly great odds.
But the nine or ten will win, emerging from the battlefield victorious as they always do, and eventually, they'll retire to their armchairs, thanking GOD that this time nobody was hit by the enemy "................FIRE................"

I am giving this to all of my friends and asking that everyone keeps those that are enduring hardships from the ice storms in their prayers. I personally know of 2 people here on firelink that need our prayers and I am sure there are a lot more.

The Eldorado High School baseball team certainly took a step up in competition this week, playing at Rent One Park and taking on the likes of Lockport Township, Warren Township and Cary Grove.
The competition got a little stiffer Thursday when the Eagles played St. Charles North and much like the previous contest, it was a tough-luck loss for EHS against a school sizeably bigger as the Eagles fell 13-3.
The silver lining in the loss however is that Eldorado exhibited much more patience at the plate, which led to the team scoring its first runs of the event at Rent One Park.
First year head coach Richard Ozment said that seeing those first couple of runs cross the plate was a big confidence booster for his kids who have not only battled against school's who lowest enrollment is 2,000 and the biggest being 4,400, but brought compliments from the opposition.
"St. Charles North head coach (Todd Genke) commended our kids for competing and commended the kids for wanting to come out and play against this type of competition. The kids knew this was going to be a tough four games, but I'm proud of them for the way they came out."
The Stars took a quick 7-0 lead after one half inning of play as St. Charles North jumped on Eldorado stater Stanton Hathaway. Hathaway lasted just one inning, giving up four hits and three walks on 41 pitches.
Jordan Pilkington led off the first inning for Eldorado with a single. Brennan Unthank advanced Pilkington to second after grounding out to third and Pilkington moved to third after Devin Aldridge reached base via an error by the Stars' shortstop.
Dylan Roberts came through with the RBI single up the middle, scoring Pilkington and Garrison Hathaway followed suit by scoring Aldridge after reach base on a fielder's choice.
St. Charles North responded with another four runs in the second inning as the Eagles swapped for Adam Ninness. Ninness went 2/3 of an inning allowing four runs and walked four.
Braden Van Zant repaved Ninness and worked effectively for 3 1/3 innings, before Eldorado turned the ball over for the last time to Dylan Riddle who worked the fifth and final inning.
Eldorado was able to get one more run in the bottom half of the fifth inning when Brennan Unthank laced a double down the left field line, scoring Pilkington who had reached base after a poked single into left field.
Ozment wasn't afraid to make a call for arms on Thursday and he feels that until the weather warms up and he has a better idea of who can do what, it will be something that is more by design than by necessity.
"It'll come around," Ozment said of the pitching. "It's been awful cold and not only should the bats warm up, but I'm sure the pitchers' arms will warm up as well. We have a lot of good kids, about eight or nine that we like to throw up there on the mound."
Page 2 of 2 - Eldorado is scheduled to play at Carrier Mills Monday at 4:30 p.m., followed by hosting Johnston City on Tuesday and then traveling to Marion on Wednesday. The Eagles will then play at Hamilton County before hosting Du Quoin next Saturday at 11 a.m.

Almost half a century ago Alex Ferguson was cutting his managerial teeth in the backwaters of the Scottish second division at St. Mirren.
The ex-Glasgow Rangers player had taken up the appointment on the recommendation of Celtic legend Jock Stein.
Intense club rivals, these colossal football figures share something rather significant: They are both cut from the exact same principled working class cloth which has served Scotland so magnificently.
Ferguson was toiling in the shipyards whilst Stein would swap his miners hat for Parkhead, where he would eventually go on and guide Celtic to European Cup triumph in 1967. It marked the very first time a British club got to drink from UEFA's chalice.
In Ferguson's first season St. Mirren won promotion to the top division.
Hard to imagine our world when Ferguson was appointed Manchester United's Governor General on November 6, 1986.
Brian Mulroney was our Prime Minister. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher ruled their particular roosts as the Montreal Canadiens continued along in their jolly old way after yet again recapturing Lord Stanley's mug.
Quite coincidentally Chris De Burgh's "Lady in Red" topped our charts as Liverpool got off to the stellar start in defence of their English title.
That championship must seem like a few lifetimes ago to the Anfied faithful today.
Measured in Real Madrid terms, Ferguson's tenure at Old Trafford equates to a total of 24 managers at the Bernabeu.
That number will rise to the quarter-century mark following Jose Mourinho's departure at season's end.
Ferguson's self-imposed role at Manchester United was to always demand and get the best possible production out of Manchester United's most influential assets: The pool of talent at his disposal.
But much in the way the most senior executives influence their particular place of business, Ferguson's managerial philosophy required he initially lay his foundation right across every facet of the club.
Even with the very calculated and stealth way Manchester United set about planning for the day it would publically be known Ferguson was departing the Carrington practice pitches, their NYSE share price was still negatively impacted.
At the opening bell on the NYSE Wednesday morning downward pressure resulted in a near five per cent decline in the share price from Tuesday evening's closing price. The drop wiped tens of millions off the club's overall valuation.
It is crystal clear a Ferguson-less United is a far less valuable a commodity than the one that sits him at the helm of the Old Trafford bench.
This was reinforced when the share price dipped again yesterday as they announced a six-year deal for David Moyes.
The working class protestant from the impoverished Glasgow streets who married a catholic girl, Ferguson is a man of immense principle who went out of his way so as not to hide what at the time was very much frowned upon in Glasgow let alone for a Rangers player.
Not able to fathom why so much was made of the sectarian divide, Ferguson dedicated himself to fully understand his wife's ancestry - the intricate and delicate issues that have divided and united Ireland through the course of time.
Ferguson has excelled as the atypical hard-nosed working class curmudgeon.
In reality this is a man who suitably impressed Harvard Business School when invited over last summer to present to the faculty and student body his management techniques. Summers are ordinarily spent with his doting wife Lady Ferguson at their chateau in southern France.
In the vineyard Sir Alex talks to the grapes as he does with the likes of Marcello Lippi - in French, a bi-lingual Ferguson not part of the public persona.
Maybe it was on a trip to their chateau that the trouble and strife famously convinced her husband to un-retire in early 2002.
His autobiography includes a passage that states Mrs. Ferguson vetoed a move to Nottingham Forest after her husband had been offered a contract. She didn't wish to live in England, at least not then.
Notts Forest would come back to a very significant Ferguson prominence after what was a very difficult start to life at United and one that legend has it could have come to a grinding halt in early 1990.
United, struggling in the first division landed a third-round FA Cup trip to a rampant Forest.
United entered the match riding an eight-game winless streak dating back to mid November 1989.
If that figure had risen to nine there would have been dire consequences for the manager. However, a late winner propelled United on to eventually claim the very first piece of silverware under the House of Ferguson, after a replay.
United claimed the 1990 FA Cup and with it no thought given to their 13th place finish in 1989/90.
It had taken three-plus seasons and much anguish around the Old Trafford corridors over the huge transfer outlay on so many under-performing highly-regarded players. Ferguson would never again suffer such a barren spell.
Having witnessed on a number of occasions Old Trafford in full Ferguson flow, one of the most meaningful events in my experience actually occurred some five time zones away from the hallowed turf.
An occasion from almost a decade ago that lit up the heart of an ex-boss of Ferguson's from that now famous Govan shipyard. An ex-Glaswegian who had settled in the Montreal area got in touch with me through a mutual friend to see if I could help reunite the old work colleagues.
Sending out an S.O.S. to the then-Manchester United press manager Diana Law who in turn took my plea to the most appropriate Old Trafford confidante, Ferguson was delighted to hear from his former boss requested a phone number.
A phone rang in a Montreal suburb the following Sunday afternoon - it was Sir Alex calling a long lost friend. Forever the family man Ferguson was calling from his son's home whilst babysitting the grandchildren.
Earlier on in the day Ferguson the working man had overseen yet another Manchester United Premier League victory.
If we thought the outcome of the 2011-12 Barclays Premier League title sent seismic shockwaves reverberating round the red half of Manchester, that was at least contained by the full force of Manchester United's very measured response this season.
However the effect of Wednesday's announcement will cascade around the famous Old Trafford hallways and corridors forever. The BBC aptly stated it was the footballing equivalent of the Berlin Wall falling.
Sir Alex Ferguson's physical presence will be replaced by the 71-year-old's immense spirit and one that is sure to unravel and reveal itself just as Sir Matt Busby's high watermark guided the Glaswegian to greater things.
With little time for pomp and ceremony Ferguson will not settle for merely passing on the Old Trafford managerial baton.
There likely won't be a dry eye in the house Sunday when the Old Trafford curtain comes down on Ferguson's time as manager of one of the world's great global institutions.
We can all be inspired by the journey it has taken.
In 1978 St. Mirren sacked Ferguson. In turn he claimed unfair dismissal. Ferguson eventually lost that courtroom battle too.
In this, the year the English FA fittingly celebrates its 150th anniversary we all now know who has claimed victory in English football's war room.
Arise Lord Ferguson.

Although not necessary, it's interesting to have a first name, city, state and country (no email addresses will be used). Any information submitted becomes the property of Tennis Warehouse.
Please include any relevant information such as skill level and style of play.
Comments: After 4 months of light wear (only wore it to play USTA matches once or twice a week and never
outside) this shoe started to split in the top middle. Terrible. I should have known it wasn't the same as the Air Max Cages I
bought last year. Just didn't feel the same. And I still have those shoes.
From: Agnes, 7/14
Comments: I hate this shoe. I wore the Air Max for over six years and loved them. This shoe is nothing like the
former model. The backs of my heels and tops of my feet hurt with these shoes. The width is slightly wider than it previously was,
and with my slightly narrow feet, I cannot keep the shoe tied tightly enough. The outer part of the shoe is puckering because it
isn't meant to be tied as tightly as I need it to be. The first pair of tennis shoes I've owned that I will replace before they've worn
out and will replace with another brand. I do not recommend these shoes.
From: Tammy, 7/14
Comments: I wore out the traction on the soles of this shoe within a month. It comes with a 6-month warranty, but
unfortunately, the loss of traction isn't enough to meet the requirements for a replacement (through the warranty). Eventually I
wore through the sole enough to get a voucher from Nike, but it wasn't for another 4 months. I would normally recommend any
tennis shoes with a warranty, but this one lost traction well before I qualified for the replacement. Not all bad though. I've worn a
lot of Nike shoes in the past and this one still has the same great features as before: good support and a wide base help avoid
potential injuries, fashionable color options, breathable (more breathable than previous Nike shoes I've owned).
From: Mary, 4/14
Comments: I bought this shoe less than a month ago, and can't wear them because they irritate the backs of my
feet, even with socks on. Nike won't do anything for me because I bought them at a local store, and the local store won't do
anything except make a claim to Nike and roll the dice.
From: Beatriz, 4/14
Comments: This does not adequately replace the former Nike Air Max shoes. The sole is flat. The foot hugging
sock-like fit is gone. Bad for us with medium high arches and narrow heels. I have been playing in tennis leagues for 40+ years at
the 4/4.5 level, and am only now experiencing knee problems that I blame on ill-fitting shoes.
From: Sue, 1/14
Comments: I do not recommend these shoes. The design seems defective -- the mid section of the shoe split
within the first week. I purchased two pairs (one as a replacement) and the same thing happened.
From: Lisa, 1/14
Comments: I had to size down a half size in this shoe. I don't know if it was just me, but it took forever to break in.
The outsoles lasted only 4 months for me (I play 4-5 times per week). I wouldn't recommend these shoes, they're a big departure
from the Breathe Free IIs, which I loved. Once I broke them in (after getting terrible blisters), the shoes were fine. The upper
portion did loosen up a bit.
From: Danielle, 10/13
Comments: Love the colors. Feels comfortable and is a decent weight. However, lacks lateral support. Rolled my
ankle on my first outing. Will stick with my Prince shoes; just wish they had better colors and weighed a little less.
From: Anon, 9/13
Comments: Very unhappy with this shoe. I loved the original Nike Air Max Breathe Free II and I'm utterly
disappointed with the Air Max Cage. Things I don't like about the Cage are: 1) little support (I actually had to buy some Superfeet
insoles) to make the shoes wearable for me 2) lack of lateral stability and 3) the tongue of the shoe is not sewn continuously as
was the Breathe Free tongue which lets the tongue and laces loosen more easily than I'd like. The things I do like about the Air
Max Cage are 1) the cushioning and 2) outsole which looks more durable than the Breathe Free II. Overall, these Air Max Cage
shoes feel more like my Air Max running shoes than tennis shoes and I will be buying up as many of the old Air Max Breathe Free
II shoes as possible. Wish Nike would bring them back.
From: Debra, 4/13
Comments: I had high hopes for this shoe, because the design is so stylish. Due to previous achilles tendonitis and
Plantar Fasciitis issues, this shoe is not a good fit for me. Back to the Asics Resolution 4's.
From: TS, 3/13
Comments: I love this shoe! It's dreamy! As soon as I tried it on, I knew I had to have it. I love that it comes with
6 mo. guarantee, as usually Nike doesn't wear well for me. I'm thrilled with this shoe, and bought two pairs.
From: Lee, 1/13

While we have seen a lot of up and coming denim these past two days at PROJECT NY, we can't forget about our long time favorite brands, especially Buffalo by David Bitton. Their clothing has a European feel that is easily relatable to the American customer, which is always a nice combo. We were lucky enough to talk to Robert Castaldo who is the brand's sales rep for the entire East Coast, and he let us in on what's new for their 2011 Holiday collection. Their premium price denim will be out in a variety of washes and fits so you won't be running out of gift options any time soon. The great thing about Buffalo is that besides denim, they offer a full collection of knits, woven shirts, and outerwear for men and women. We'll be seeing these in an array of dusty colors and soft fabrics that will ensure maximum comfort and style in the upcoming colder months.
