2016/05/25 We are glad to announce that SampleRobot 5 Pro was just bestowed the Computer Music Performance Award. Thanks very much!
Owen Palmer put SampleRobot to the acid test in the current issue cm231 of Computer Music. Here are some quotes from his review.
"Sit back and let this powerful app clone your hardware or software instruments."
"We're blown away by the range of sampler formats that SampleRobot can export to."
"We can safely say that SampleRobot does everything it's supposed to do, and does it well."
"It has the potential to make your life much easier."
"Rating: 9 out of 10"
2016/05/13 It is Friday the 13th and we have good news not only for scary users. We are about to release SampleRobot 5 Multi-X in July. This version offers almost all of the professional autosampling features of its brother SampleRobot Pro on a budget. You will get features for fully automated sampling of MIDI sound sources, hardware and plugins, as well as semi-automatic sampling of acoustic instruments, voices and experimental sounds. With SampleRobot Multi-X you can create large multisample sets lightning fast in the format you like. Multi-X stands for Multi-Export. All available SampleRobot 5 Pro export formats are available also in Multi-X including Soundfont2, HALion, Kronos, microSAMPLER, Volca Sample, OP-1, Kontakt and Reason, EXS24, Dimension, SFZ and WAV.
Compared to SampleRobot 5 Multi-X the Pro version offers up to 24 bit recording depth while Multi-X supports 8 and 16 bit only. SampleRobot Pro also features release sample triggers, a MIDI monitor section and MIDI controllers.
As an option SampleRobot 5 Multi-X can be expanded by the loop and transient editor WaveRobot 5 making editing operations a breeze.
SampleRobot 5 Multi-X will cost 129$ / 99€ / 85£ and it will be available shortly in the SKYLIFE STORE.
2016/04/06 It is time for Musikmesse in Frankfurt again, from April 7th till 10th.

We can arrange a meeting then.
Talking about the Mellotron in our last web news here is a really charming video from 1965 introducing the Mellotron as a wooden "musical computer" to the public. As you can see it is not hard to explain what this wonderful "new" instrument is all about. Keep on filling tapes with tasty samples!
The Mellotron
2016/03/02 Recently Jean-Michel Jarre did a video together with NI where he talks about how he was inspired by the sampling technology in the early days. - And he still is! "Do your own sampling as much as you can!" is his mantra. Coming from the Musique Concrète background where he started his artistic work in the french group around Pierre Schaeffer by cutting, modifying, looping and rearranging tape snippets, he recognized that sampling was a key to his musical expression. After all those years he is still using his old hardware samplers like the Fairlight and the Emulator II. He referres to them as beloved instruments with a special character. Video on YouTube (image courtesy of NI).
When we designed the first version of SampleRobot over a decade ago we had this idea of building an application that could help musicians building new instruments via samples fast, pretty much in the mind set of the Musique Concrète. The virtual keys in SampleRobot are like empty tapes on a Mellotron that can be filled with any type of audio, musical notes or concrete sounds, and, of course, those snippets can be looped in various ways with WaveRobot. What instruments like the Mellotron could not do was changing the tapes in real-time in respect to keyboard velocity. So we expanded on that. In the latest version of SampleRobot you have the ability to create up to 128 multisample velocity layers in a single Project. And you do not have to rearrange tape snippets any more! During export SampleRobot will take all those individual samples, stacking and mapping them across the keyboard so you can use the created instrument directly in almost every software and hardware sampler.

Change your workouts to reap real benefits
|Gina Garcia, the assistant fitness director at SMU, starts her work out with a 15-minute warm up on the treadmill at SMU's Dedman Center in University Park, Texas, Wednesday, July 25, 2012. (Ron Heflin/Dallas Morning News/MCT)
"I had one client who loves weights and body work, jumping jacks and push-ups and all that stuff," says Holland, who works at a Richardson, Texas, gym. "I have another who runs. I made them come into a room and gave them the same workout. The runner who thought she was in outstanding shape almost threw up before she was finished."
By the same token, could the gym hound have been able to run a mile or two? Or a die-hard cyclist jump into a pool and swim a half-mile for the first time? Probably with the same amount of finesse as a swimmer would show in her first yoga class.
"Complementary exercises, in my mind, are mandatory," Holland says. "Exercise ought to be a situation of balance where you don't get carried away with just one."
Doing any sort of exercise is commendable, and infinitely better than never breaking a sweat or lifting nothing heavier than a Frito. If you stick with one form of exercise, though, other parts of your body - upper, lower, core - will suffer.
Sam Cole learned that lesson when his only exercise was running and he developed issues with his iliotibial (IT) band. From everything he read, he says, "they were caused by not having a strong enough core."
He started going to hot-yoga classes. When they became too expensive, he joined a less costly gym, and now he participates in a fast-moving body pump class. The high-intensity, low-weight workout twice a week has helped his running, he says. He doesn't get as tired. Nor do his shoulders slump as they used to do.
"You're missing half the equation if all you do is run," he says.
Nancy DiMarco of Texas Woman's University says we should exercise the same way we eat - keeping variety and moderation in mind.
"Doing so will train all the muscles in our body, help strengthen us, and help us maintain independence for a long time," says DiMarco, professor of nutrition and food sciences at TWU and director of the Institute for Women's Health.
"So many of the guys in the gym are strong but have no endurance," she says. "Runners are very purposeful. When they want to run, they want to run. They don't mess with this other stuff. But to be well-rounded, to be fit, you need to focus on other areas because they are just as important."
Those areas include cardio-respiratory (swimming, Zumba, walking); resistance training (free weights, machines, medicine balls); flexibility (stretching and range of motion); and neuromuscular (tai chi, yoga).
"Interesting new studies show cyclists losing a lot of bone density because they don't have that impact with the ground like runners do," says Gina Garcia, assistant director of fitness at SMU. "Cyclists should do impact training as well as strength."
Strength training benefits everyone, experts agree. For swimmers, "you have to have great muscle mass to propel your body fast through the water," DiMarco says.
Garcia says some people get addicted to strength training. Although beneficial for your bones, students at the fitness center tend to be more interested in how toned it makes them look.
Holland remembers seeing a man at his workout facility who was late for a training session.
"He was running up the stairs and I thought he was going to have a heart attack," he says. "But oh yeah, he looked really good."
Although exercise is inherently good, limiting it to one type - cardiovascular or strength, for example - will also limit benefits. Here are suggestions from experts to have a more well-rounded, and thus healthier, workout routine.
Branch out. When Thomas Holland has clients who only want to run, he asks, "Are you where you want to be?" If they answer no, he tells them they need to change their routines.
"They say, 'What do I need yoga for?' But I've had more people come out of it and they say running is so much easier. They're not fighting tightness in their glutes or quads."
Swap one workout for another. Lack of time tends to be a reason for not exercising. So instead of being overwhelmed thinking you need to add flexibility, strength training and other forms of exercise to your already busy schedule, maybe substitute a 30-minute yoga DVD for a bike ride once or twice a week.
Strength-train no matter what. Swimming, bike riding and similar workouts only challenge the cardiovascular system, says Gina Garcia of SMU. Running, for instance, utilizes quads and hamstrings, but "your core will get weak," she says. Lifting weights or using machines will round out your workout.
You don't have to go to a gym, says TWU's Nancy DiMarco. "Use free weights while watching TV or between loads of laundry."
Try a variation of your type workout. If you're a runner, swim, Garcia says. Or jog in the pool. If you take yoga, try Pilates.
Challenge yourself. "I have clients all the time who say, 'I don't want to do such-and-such because I'm no good at it,'" Holland says. "I look at them and say, 'That's exactly why you're doing it.'"
If you (blank), you should (blankety-blank)
Tyler Herrin, certified strength and conditioning specialist at Sweat Dallas in Inwood Village, trained for a half marathon a year or so ago. He did nothing but run, to which he attributes the knee injury that thwarted his training.
"I could almost certainly say if I had done some sort of resistance training along with running that I could have prevented that injury," says Herrin, 33.
We asked him for tips on how athletes in one sport can benefit from incorporating another into their workout. Here's what he said:
If you're a runner .
You need to: Do strength and resistance training.
How? By adding basic exercises like squats and traveling lunges, and working quads as well as ligaments and tendons around the knees. Plus, core exercises will strengthen your abs, lower back and hips.
Why? To help manage posture, strengthen bones and help improve performance.
If you're a yogi .
You need to: Strength-train.
How? By adding resistance exercises using weights, elastic bands or machines in a gym.
Why? To allow you to become stronger and hold poses for longer periods of time.
If you're a swimmer .
You need to: Get out of the pool and do dry-land training.
How? By doing such weight-bearing workouts as running, jumping, rowing, stair climbing. "Core strength, upper-body strength is key," Herrin says.
Why? They'll help increase your bone density as well as build up endurance, "which will help in the pool."
If you're a weightlifter .
You need to: Incorporate a cardiovascular routine; increase flexibility.
How? Add some running or swimming. Or take a yoga class.
Why? "Just doing weights won't strengthen your cardiovascular or respiratory system," he says. "Yoga is beneficial for flexibility and respiratory strength."

NFL's Redskins Appeal Ruling That Team Name Is Offensive
The Washington Redskins appealed a decision that the football team's name was disparaging to American Indians and no longer entitled to federal trademark protection, escalating a two-decade dispute over a brand worth an estimated $145 million.
The National Football League team seeks to reverse a federal panel's ruling because there was "insufficient evidence" of the name being offensive to American Indians from 1967 to 1990, when the six trademarks were registered, according to a complaint filed yesterday in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.
"We believe that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ignored both federal case law and the weight of the evidence, and we look forward to having a federal court review this obviously flawed decision," Bob Raskopf, an attorney for the Redskins, said in a statement.
The board's decision, if left intact by the court, would make it harder for the team to enforce trademark rights and protect the revenue associated with them. The Redskins ranked 10th in merchandise sales of the NFL's 32 teams as of October, according to the league, which has about $9.7 billion in annual revenue. Merchandise revenue is shared equally among NFL teams.
The franchise ranked third in the NFL in August with a valuation of $1.7 billion, including $145 million attributable to its brand, according to Forbes.
Cancellation Recommendation
The trademark office considers hundreds of thousands of applications each year and is required to scrutinize names that may inspire contempt or disrepute. The only standing trademark that the office has recommended canceling, though, is that of the Redskins, according to Jesse Witten, a lawyer at Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP in Washington. Witten, a onetime appointee of Republican President George W. Bush to the Justice Department, represented American Indians who asked the trademark office to cancel the registration.
Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has said the name was intended to honor Native Americans and he won't change it.
The board's ruling violated constitutional free speech and due process rights, the team said in its complaint.
"The cancellation of the Redskins marks constitutes an unconstitutional taking" of the team's property "without just compensation," according to the filing.
Earlier Win
The Redskins won a separate appeals court ruling in May 2009 over whether the trademarks should be canceled, ending a legal fight that began in 1992. The court in that case ruled that the plaintiffs waited too long to complain. The current case involves younger people.
Founded in 1932 as the Boston Braves, the team was renamed in 1933 as the Boston Redskins in tribute to its head coach, an American Indian, according to court records. The team moved to the District of Columbia in 1937.
The benefits of trademark registration include the legal presumption of ownership and a nationwide scope of rights related to the mark; the ability to use the federal registration symbol; and the ability to register the mark with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Service to block the import of counterfeit goods.
The trademark board determines only whether a mark can be registered with the U.S. government, not whether it can be used. The Redskins may still have rights to the mark based on use, known as "common law" rights, and such rights may continue to exist even if a federal registration is canceled, according to a board explanation of its decision.
Public Opinion
In attempting to enforce legal rights, however, the Redskins also would be waging an increasingly difficult battle in the court of public opinion.
President Barack Obama in October told the Associated Press that if it were his team, he'd consider a name change and half the U.S. Senate in May urged NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to support a switch, citing National Basketball Association Commissioner Adam Silver's speedy action toward former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's racist comments.
Former Virginia Senator George Allen, whose father was the Redskins' longtime coach and whose brother, Bruce, is its president, has supported the status quo.
The case is Pro-Football Inc. v. Blackhorse, 14-cv-01043, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia (Alexandria).

A woman was airlifted to hospital in critical condition after
her car was sliced in two following a collision with a power
pole on SH2 north of Clareville at around 9am this morning.
The car, travelling south from Masterton, left the road at a
corner and struck the pole with such force it separated the
motor and bumper from the rest of the car.
The driver, a woman in her early twenties, was the only
person in the car.
Firecrews from Carterton and Masterton had to drag the car
away from the teetering power pole and used chains tied to
fire trucks to stretch the car and force it apart, allowing
them to extricate the driver.
She was stabilised in a Wellington Free ambulance before
being stretchered to the Life Flight Trust Westpac rescue
Life Flight crewman Colin Larsen said she was not conscious
during the transport and was transferred to Wellington ED in
a critical condition.
The crash forced traffic to divert down Hughes Line and East
Taratahi Rd during the morning.
A Tenix crewman on site said they would have to replace the
power pole.

You may have heard of hit pieces, which is journalism aimed at taking a person down. Here is a hit obituary -- The New York Times' article on the passing of evangelical superstar Tim LaHaye.
Check out the headline: "Tim LaHaye dies at 90; fundamentalist leader's grisly novels sold millions." That gives you an idea of where this article is headed.
Now tmatt has, through the years, written time and time again urging journalists to heed the advice of the Associated Press Stylebook and to avoid most uses of that particular f-word, along with Mollie Hemingway and others in the GetReligion pantheon.
Now, it is certainly true that LaHaye went to Bob Jones University, a campus that has long embraced the "fundamentalist" label, but he also led a Southern Baptist church and most members of America's largest non-Catholic Christian denomination would never call themselves fundamentalists. Also, his audience as a writer and speaker was much larger than the "fundamentalist" niche.
Guess the Times didn't get that memo. Here's how the piece starts:
The Rev. Tim LaHaye, a leader of the Christian fundamentalist movement and co-author of the best-selling "Left Behind" series of apocalyptic novels prophesying mass slaughters and the end of the world, died on Monday in a San Diego area hospital. He was 90.
His death, days after he had a stroke, was announced on the website for his Tim LaHaye Ministries.
In an age of seemingly endless natural and man-made disasters, the action-packed tales by Dr. LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins struck readers as all too realistic, even if they were based on biblical accounts of the Second Coming, the appearance of an Antichrist and multitudes leaving a calamitous dying world for heaven.

Draft brings opportunity, and Browns bring ammo
The 2014 NFL Draft is finally almost here, and these Browns hold pick Nos. 4 and 26 in the first round. The opportunity to shape a real future is here.
The "Draft Day" movie brought football back to the conversation and took those who saw it inside the Cleveland Browns actual draft room.
Mixed movie reviews and parallels -- or lack thereof -- to what's gone on in that room over the last 15 years aside, the real Browns have quite an opportunity in front of them.
The 2014 NFL Draft is finally almost here, and these Browns hold pick Nos. 4 and 26 in the first round. The opportunity to shape a real future is here.
The Browns hold three of the first 35 picks, meaning they can wheel and deal if the opportunity is right and new general manager Ray Farmer so chooses. The team could move up, move down, do both or stand pat. The fourth pick in the May 8 first round is the one everybody's been talking about, but the third pick in the second round can be just as coveted and potentially just as valuable. Maybe 26 and 35 could be packaged to add a second top-20 pick. Maybe one or both could be used to move back, adding future assets or even current players.
The Browns have said nothing so far. That will change, but only slightly, when Farmer holds his first pre-draft press conference late Monday morning. He's been giving half-answers like an old pro since getting the job in February and has played the secret-keeping part of the game very well. Farmer's pre-draft press conference can't possibly be as condescending and generally worthless as the one Joe Banner and Mike Lombardi held last year was, but it's a safe bet he'll talk much more in circles and cliches than he will in any details.
The time to play the real game is coming. It always seems like the next draft is the most important to the ever-changing Browns, and that very well could be the case this year. It's hard to tell where this team is headed in 2014, let alone over the next two or three years. It is clear, though, that there are holes to fill and decisions to make to help the Browns get out of the perpetual basement.
This year, they're undoubtedly one of the teams to watch in this draft and one of its power players. They have ammo and flexibility. If done right, the peculiar uncertainty surrounding the top of this year's draft -- most years, at least the first pick and often the top three are clear by the time the final month of buildup arrives -- can help the Browns posture and position themselves. If Farmer feels packaging picks at any time in the first two rounds to move up and target a certain player is right, he can do it. The Browns have picks.
Five of the first 83. Six of the first 106.
Three of the first 35 is the number that really jumps out, though. The truth is that if Farmer and new coach Mike Pettine want to do their current jobs for more than a draft or two, the Browns have to take a jump.
Now seems like a pretty good time to do it.

There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live.
We cannot advance without new experiments in living, but no wise man tries every day what he has proved wrong the day before.
The whole of the American Dream has been based on the chance to get ahead, for one's self or one's children. Would this country have ever reached the point it has if the individual had always been refused the rewards of his labors and dangers?

Have to agree with you Longtime - if Harry doesn't want to pay over the odds for a much-needed striker then it defies logic to think of splashing out even more for a not-needed midfielder.Downing is defo not worth £15m. Even Bentley was overpriced and we should learn our lesson from that.The opening day of the transfer window will be an interesting one methinks.

Tasting Notes
Stoli Hot opens with a subtle hint of smoke, rounded out with spicy jalepeno. Mixers like pineapple and lime quell the heat some with their tartness, yet still allow the complex flavors to shine.
Technical Notes
Stolichnaya - 'Stoli' to its many friends - is an authentic family of Russian vodkas, made in the traditional Russian manner using production techniques that date back to the fifteenth century. Only the very finest natural ingredients find their way into Stolichnaya. There's no mistaking the Stoli on the table or the tongue. That iconic red label stands out from the masses. Complex layers of flavor and an unmistakable quality tell you you're drinking Stoli the second you raise the glass to your mouth. Stolichnaya is the world's number one selling vodka Liquor.
Stolichnaya has its origins in the Moscow State Wine Warehouse No. 1 which was opened in 1901 by the authorities to ensure higher quality vodka production. There's confusion about the actual birth date of Stolichnaya vodka. The earliest confirmed production date is 1948, but the label design clearly predates 1946. It is likely that it was created by V. G. Svirida around 1944. However, there is a trademark patent dated 1938, which is sometimes quoted as another birth date.

This year sees the introduction of a register of attendance
at Parliament for MPs who now face penalties of at least $295
a day for each unexplained absence after three days.
Mr Key said the public paid a lot of money for MPs to attend
Parliament and while there always reasons why they might miss
the House, " I think there's been a situation where some MPs,
frankly, have taken the mickey and they've treated the place
with not enough respect".
"Hone Harawira's an obvious one. You go and have a look at
the number of days he was here in the 2011 2013 period not
very many."
This afternoon Mr Harawira was asked about reports he was
absent from Parliament for 68 days last year.
"I checked with the Speaker's office and I've had no
unauthorised leave of absence from Parliament.
"Every day I've been away has been approved by the Speaker's
Office", he told reporters " I haven't been slacking off in
fact I consider myself to be one of the harder working
members of this House."
He said Mr Key's remarks were " just a continuation of his
petty bickering about my going to South Africa."
Meanwhile, Mr Key's own Chief Whip Louise Upston refused to
release records of National Party MPs absences from
Instead, she said National had " a robust leave system and I
would be very clear if anyone was away without permission and
that's what the (new regime) will require public disclosure
The only party to release their attendance records this
afternoon were the Greens.
A spokesman said the record showed that Green MPs were in
attendance for 82 per cent of the hours that Parliament sat
during the current Parliamentary term.
Co-leader Metiria Turei said that when Green MPs weren't in
Parliament, " they're doing the work the public have asked
them to do, they're out with the public at meetings so we're
pretty pleased with our result".
A spokesman said Labour didn't believe it was appropriate to
release its MPs' attendance records because the leave was
often applied for "for various personal reasons".
NZ First Leader Winston Peters said it was rare for his MPs
to be absent from Parliament.
"One of these days if you if you want us to trawl through the
whole lot we will, but it's so few in number, about 50 days
for all MPs all up which is substantially less than a lot of
the MPs, that I don't think we've got a problem at all."

The 2nd Amendment vs the Incorporation Doctrine
The Bill of Rights was a protection against the Federal GovernmentDetails
The Bill of Rights was a protection against the Federal GovernmentDetails
I find it interesting to hear all the media pundits claiming that the "American People" are against a government shut-down and blame Republicans for using ObamaCare as a negotiation tool.
If the States that are united were founded on a principle of a consolidated nation, where a "National" government ruled over them, then it is possible the pundits may have it correct. However, that is not how the founding generation envisioned our union of States. We are made up of individual and sovereign entities that united to form a more perfect union. These States then delegated certain limited authority to the Federal government. It was very clear to nearly everyone involved that the States would retain the majority of their sovereign powers. This is one of the reasons that the Tenth Amendment was inserted into the Bill of Rights. What does it say?:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Who were those people? The people of the individual States, not the people of a giant conglomerate. If any self-respecting news journalist or historian for that matter, would take the time to read the debates of the several States during their ratifying process they would then understand the principle.Details
Recently a Federal Judge, Shira Scheindlin, declared the New York City Police departments "Stop and Frisk" procedure Un-Constitutional and called for a federal monitor to watch over the police department to ensure Police Officers are in compliance with the constitution.
This happened without a peep of protest from any New York State elected official, Judge or lawyer.
You would think that Governor Cuomo would be at the fore of the angry protest against Federal intrusion into what is clearly a State Police power. Where does Justice Scheindlin believe her authority to rule on this matter come from? Not the United States Constitution.
The "Stop and Frisk" procedure is clearly un-Constitutional, however, it is the New York State Constitution that matters.Details
This coming Thursday, many of us will have a day off from work and be home to have a barbecue, watch the fireworks and proudly fly our American flag.
This uniquely American holiday is a time to reflect on the greatness of our Nation and its people.
However, it is not really a time to celebrate as "Americans". It is a time to celebrate as sovereign people of the States. The Fourth of July was the day (it was actually a few days earlier) the people of the thirteen colonies through their representatives in the Congress, declared to the world that they were now independent and free States. Free from the King and Parliament and a centralized government. However, it would take a long and bloody war to actually permit these newly independent Sates to remain free.
The Declaration of Independence was signed by men who knew they were risking their "Lives, fortunes and sacred honor". According to the King, they were all traitors who warranted death.
When the war finally came to a successful end the King and Parliament had no choice but to declare that the thirteen States were now free. The first Article of the Treaty of Paris that ended the war stated:Details
I have had many debates over this issue and it does not get any easier. Recently the New York State legislature passed a horrendous anti-freedom bill entitled the NYSAFE act. This legislation, that was passed in the middle of the night without proper debate, instantaneously made honest, law-abiding citizens criminals. It banned the possession of a myriad of innocuous semi-automatic rifles and magazines (not clips) that can hold more than seven rounds of ammunition along with many other ridiculous "feel good" items. It may well be that Commissar Cuomo and his Republican lackeys overstepped their bounds. You see, in New Yorks Constitution there contains a bill of "Civil Rights" much like the United States Constitutions "Bill of Rights". New York Civil Rights – Article 2 – § 4 is New York's Right to Keep and Bear Arms security. It states:
Right to keep and bear arms. A well regulated militia being
necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to
keep and bear arms cannot be infringed.
This is the exactly the same as the Federal Constitutions Second Amendment except the words "cannot be infringed" replaces "shall not be infringed". Law suits are already in place to overturn this horrible piece of legislation.
If New York courts uphold this freedom denying legislation, which I believe is inevitable, then the People of New York have a couple of choices. Throw out the tyrannical legislators and King, oh I mean Governor, that helped enact it, or submissively acquiesce to it and grovel at the feet of their new Masters.Details
I find it hard to believe , but the National Tea Party is nothing but a shill for their Republican masters.
On election night of the New Hampshire primary, a leader of the Tea Party (I won't mention her name) appeared on Fox News and claimed Mit Romney was a conservative the Tea Party could rally around. Huh? The same Mit Romney who gave his fellow liberal denizens in Massachusetts "Romney Care" the foreshadow of "Obama Care"? The same Mit Romney who fails to take a firearms survey offered by the Gun Owners of America and who supports the banning of semi-automatic weapons and high capacity magazines. Mit Romney who can find not one single government agency he would abolish? Not the IRS, Homeland (Secret State Police) Security, Education, Agriculture, Medicaid (Socialized Medicine), etc… Not one? This is a man the Tea Party can rally around?
And what about Newt Gingrich. He leads in many polls among "Tea Party" activist.
Last May, he criticized as "right-wing social engineering'' the proposal of Representative Paul Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin, to convert Medicare into a voucher program so seniors could privately purchase insurance. Following a firestorm of protest from conservatives, Gingrich quickly backed off, apologized to Ryan, and said his "words were inaccurate and unfortunate.''
Newt on firearms? (From Gun Owners of America)
After initially having a Pro-Gun record, his GOA rating quickly dropped to well below the "C-level." In 1996, the Republican-led Congress passed the "gun free school zones act," creating criminal safe zones like Virginia Tech, where the only person armed was a murderous criminal. Speaker Newt Gingrich voted for the bill containing this ban.Details
The Constitution. Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses.

First Aid & Emergencies
Heat-Related Illnesses - Prevention
Staying physically fit can help you acclimate to a hot environment. Before you travel to or work in a hotter environment, use gradual physical conditioning. This takes about 8 to 14 days for adults. Children require 10 to 14 days for their bodies to acclimate to the heat. If you travel to a hot environment and are not accustomed to the heat, cut your usual outside physical activities in half for the first 4 to 5 days. Gradually increase your activities after your body adjusts to the heat and level of activity.
Be aware that when the outdoor humidity is greater than 75%, the body's ability to lose heat by sweating is decreased. Other ways of keeping cool need to be used. The National Weather Service lists a heat index each day in the newspaper to alert people of the risk for a heat-related illness in relation to the air temperature and humidity of that day. Direct exposure to the sun can increase the risk of a heat-related illness on days when the heat index is high.
People who have had heatstroke in the past may be more sensitive to the effects of heat in the first few months following the illness, but they do not have long-term problems.

Police Chief Zeb Hemsworth won't lose job for "scum sucking baby killing bitch" rant
Hemsworth is apologizing (indirectly) for his history of posting hateful anti-woman, anti-liberal, and vaguely Islamophobic ("Barack Hussein Obama") rants on the internet.
This afternoon, Pike Bay Township officials said that Police Chief Zeb Hemsworth won't lose his job for calling a pro-choice woman a "piece of shit scum sucking baby killing bitch" on Facebook... prompting us to wonder what it takes to use your job up there.
SEE ALSO: Zeb Hemsworth under investigation by Pike Bay Township Board for "baby killing bitch" rant
In comments made to KSTP on Hemsworth's behalf, Township Clerk Matt Erickson said Hemsworth, who has no previous disciplinary record, "is still assigned to active duty. Any disciplinary measures necessary will be handled internally."
For whatever reason, Hemsworth or township officials or some combination of the two decided it wouldn't be a good idea to let the police chief apologize directly. Instead, they opted to let Erickson speak for him. From KSTP:
"Officer Hemsworth apologizes for his recent Facebook posting and regrets the insensitivity of the words he chose to use," said Township [Clerk] Matt Erickson on behalf of the police chief.
Erickson said, "Township officials have investigated the allegations and it was confirmed the event took place while Officer Hemsworth was off-duty and with the use of his personal cell phone."...
A closed meeting was called Tuesday night to address the allegations...
Erickson said Hemsworth will not lose his job. A message left for Hemsworth went unanswered Wednesday.
"Insensitivity of the words he chose to use?" That's one highly dubious way of putting it. A more accurate formulation might be "shockingly hateful words used by a man whose job it is to enforce the law impartially, not direct the most derogatory insults imaginable toward a woman simply because she's a supporter of constitutionally protected abortion rights."
In any event, we'd hate to be a liberal woman calling for police assistance anywhere in the Pike Bay Township vicinity.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush, preparing the nation for the possibility of war, said Thursday night the United States will drive Saddam Hussein from power if it comes to war in Iraq - with or without support from France, Germany and other skeptical allies.
"It's time for people to show their cards and let people know where they stand in relation to Saddam," Bush said at a prime-time news conference.
Bush said he had not decided whether to invade Iraq but that it was only a matter of days before a U.N. Security Council vote on a U.S.-backed resolution authorizing force.
"Our mission is clear in Iraq," the president. "Should we have to go in, our mission is very clear: disarmament. It will mean a regime change. No doubt there's risks in any military operation. I know that."
Bush said it was up to Saddam to avert war. "It's his choice to make whether or not we go to war. He's the person that can make the choice of war or peace. Thus far he's made the wrong choice."
The president's news conference came on the eve of a crucial Security Council meeting. Today, chief weapons inspector Hans Blix and his counterpart, Mohamed ElBaradei, will report on Iraq's measure of cooperation in eliminating its banned weapons. Their assessment could weigh heavily in determining the outcome of the Security Council's vote on a resolution to authorize force.
France, Germany, Russia and China say they oppose such a resolution. Bush said he would call for a vote even if it appears certain the United States will lose.
"It's time for people to show their cards and let people know where they stand in relation to Saddam," he said.
Bush answered questions for about 40 minutes after making his case against Saddam in a 10-minute opening statement in the East Room.
Asked how his faith was guiding him through these deliberations, Bush said: "I pray daily, I pray for guidance and wisdom and strength."
He added that if he decides to send troops into war, "I would pray for their safety and I would pray for the safety of innocent Iraqi lives as well."
Bush's news conference was part of an intensifying campaign to prepare Americans for the possibility of a war that could be just days away. Military leaders say U.S. forces are now ready to strike Iraq.
More than 230,000 troops are now arrayed around Iraq and more are on the way, awaiting a final go-ahead from the president.

Abstract79252 As environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, there is mounting pressure on automobile manufacturers to substantially lower unburnt hydrocarbon emissions. This will require monitoring the hydrocarbon content in the exhaust with more accuracy than currently possible using the two oxygen sensor system. This requirement is especially important during start-up conditions, which account for more than 90% of hydrocarbon emissions. This project will develop a robust, miniature hydrocarbon sensor that can detect hydrocarbons in automobile exhaust, with excellent sensitivity to hydrocarbons, minimal cross-sensitivity to exhaust gas constituents (e.g. CO, CO2, NOx, SO2), and fast response time (< 1 sec). In Phase I, a number of key experiments, including a demonstration of minimal cross-sensitivity to specific exhaust gas constituents, will be carried out to demonstrate feasibility. Phase II will focus on sensor miniaturization/integration, prototype development, on-board testing, and demonstration. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The new hydrocarbon sensors should be small and inexpensive enough to be installed for on-board monitoring and emissions control applications in automobiles, providing significant benefit to the environment and quality of life. The technology also should allow manufacturers to reduce catalyst loadings and life-cycle engine degradation.
