On June 24, 2013, the Supreme Court denied certiorari to review the Sixth Circuit's November 2012 decision in United States ex rel. Sanders v. Allison Engine Co.[1] This allows a significant circuit split over the retroactive application of a key piece of the 2009 amendments to the False Claims Act ("FCA") to remain unresolved.
The amendments to the FCA in the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009 ("FERA") are generally applicable only to conduct that occurred after the date of FERA's enactment. There are, however, exceptions that make certain FERA provisions retroactive. FERA retroactively expanded one change to the FCA's scienter element that eliminated the need to show a defendant's knowing use of a false statement specifically to get a claim paid by the government. Congress made that provision retroactive to "claims" pending as of June 7, 2008 – two days before a Supreme Court ruling in this very case that narrowed the FCA's scienter element. The circuit split concerns whether the statute's reference to "claims" signifies cases that were pending on that date, or instead claims for payment from the government pending as of that date. The answer can make a significant difference to a defendant's potential exposure in those cases where the revised liability standard expands the scope of conduct that a relator or Department of Justice ("DOJ") may pursue.
With the Supreme Court declining to review the Sixth Circuit's decision, the split will remain for now. The Sixth Circuit's Allison Engine opinion is also noteworthy for its rejection of the defendants' argument that the FERA amendments impose an after-the-fact "penalty" in violation of the Constitution's Ex Post Facto Clause. The denial of certiorari leaves this holding in place as well.
Allison Engine involved allegations that the defendants, Navy subcontractors, submitted invoices for reimbursement knowing that the electrical generators they had manufactured did not meet the Navy's quality specifications. At trial, the plaintiffs showed that the defendants submitted claims for payment to the prime contractors on the project, but the plaintiff provided no evidence pertaining to the claims for payment that the prime contractors eventually submitted to the government. Although the defendants were ultimately paid using federal funds, in 2008 the Supreme Court found in favor of the defendants on appeal, concluding that no FCA liability attached unless the plaintiff could show that the defendants made false statements with the specific intent that the statements would be material to the government's decision whether to pay the claim.
With FERA, Congress expanded the scope of FCA liability. In so doing, it abrogated the Supreme Court's 2008 decision in Allison Engine, which had narrowed one aspect of the FCA's scienter element. Before FERA, the FCA imposed liability on any person who "knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used, a false record or statement to get a false or fraudulent claim paid or approved by the Government."[2] The Supreme Court had interpreted that language to require a relator or DOJ to prove not only that the defendant knew the claim was false but also that the defendant intended for the government to rely on the false claim. Through FERA, Congress expressly eliminated the second aspect of the Supreme Court's interpretation of the FCA's scienter element. Now, post-FERA, the FCA imposes liability upon any person who "knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim."[3] Relators and DOJ no longer must prove that the defendant intended the government rely on its false claim.
To overrule the Supreme Court's 2008 Allison Engine decision, Congress made FERA's amendment to the scienter standard retroactive "as if enacted on June 7, 2008," which is two days before the Court's decision. FERA § 4(f), amending 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a)(1). Unfortunately, Congress was not perfectly clear what it meant. In some of the amended statutory text, Congress said FERA applied to all "claims" under the FCA that were pending on or after June 7, 2008; in other instances Congress used the word "cases." As a result, whether the retroactive liability standard applies only to claims for payment pending with the government as of June 7, 2008, or also applies to pending cases filed under the FCA before that date, remains in dispute.
Courts are split on this question. The Ninth and Eleventh Circuits have taken a narrower reading, holding that the amendment applies only to then-pending claims for payment but not then-pending FCA actions.[4] The Second and Seventh Circuits, by contrast, have taken the broader view and concluded that FERA retroactively changes the scienter standard for both pending claims for payment and pending FCA cases.[5]
Tipping the Balance of the Circuit Court Split
In the fullest treatment of the issue to date, the Sixth Circuit sided with the Second and Seventh Circuits, concluding that "claims" also includes "cases" pending as of June 7, 2008. Discussing the issue for over thirty pages – instead of in a summary footnote as many of the prior judicial opinions had done – the Sixth Circuit outlined the statutory support for the broader interpretation.
The Sixth Circuit's analysis recognized the two sides to the debate that had driven a wedge between the four circuits to previously consider the issue. On the one hand, FERA uses the word "claims" with reference to its retroactive liability standard, a word with a plain meaning that seems to preclude retroactive application to FCA "cases." On the other hand, adhering too faithfully to this maxim of statutory construction and interpreting the word "claim" literally, in light of its somewhat confusing statutory context (which applies the standard retroactively to "claims under the False Claims Act"), would lead to a "strained" reading. The Sixth Circuit concluded that the canon of construction had to give way to what the court viewed was likely the intended meaning of FERA's retroactivity provision. Accordingly, in the Sixth, Second, and Seventh Circuits, FERA's change to the FCA's scienter element applies to both cases and claims for payment pending as of June 7, 2008, while in the Ninth and Eleventh Circuits, the change applies only to claims for payment pending as of that date, but not to filed cases where claims for payment were no longer pending with the government.
Consideration of the Ex Post Facto Clause
Allison Engine also thoroughly analyzed whether retroactively applying FERA's liability standard violates the Ex Post Facto Clause of the Constitution. The Clause bars retroactive liability under a civil statute like the FCA if the purpose or effect of the civil statute is punitive. As it did with its analysis of the retroactivity question, the Sixth Circuit provided more reasoned support for the argument against finding an Ex Post Facto Clause violation than the prior courts to address the question. The D.C. Circuit, for example, summarily rejected such an argument in only two sentences.[6]
The Sixth Circuit explained that Congress' statements in connection with FERA did not evince a purpose to use the FCA to punish wrongdoing, but merely to create a civil scheme for combating fraud. The court recognized that in some instances the FCA can appear to border on a criminal statute—in particular, its imposition of treble damages that may vastly exceed the amount of harm suffered by the government and the fact that the FCA covers some conduct that is also proscribed by a section of the United States criminal code.[7] Yet the court concluded that these aspects of the FCA were not so punitive as to transform it from a civil penalty into a criminal one.
With the Supreme Court declining to re-visit the Sixth Circuit's decision that FERA's retroactivity clause applies to both cases and claims pending as of June 7, 2008, companies can expect Allison Engine to be cited against them when they are litigating the FCA's scienter standard in any circuit that has not yet weighed in on this issue. Furthermore, the Sixth Circuit continued what appears to be a trend, seen in the D.C. Circuit and several district courts, in finding that applying the FERA amendments retroactively is consistent with the Ex Post Facto Clause of the Constitution.

So this is baby #3. My other 2 daughters came at 38 weeks and 2 days and 38 weeks and 4 days. I am now over 39 weeks. What is the deal? I have heard of 3rd babies being the weird ones and now I am starting to believe it. My pregnancies have all been very similar and with the other two when the contractions started they did not stop until a baby came. I have been having on and off contractions for a week now. I will have them for a couple of hours, ten minutes apart and when I start to think, ok this is it, they stop. Anyone else on #3 going through this or have you had more than 3 and your 3rd labor was the strange one?

Powder Coating
Ok powder coating do ya'll love it hate it have an opinion, I am thinking about powder coating my factory rims, the guy is going to charge 75 a wheel( is that high i have never had this done?) is it going to be cheaper in the end to buy brand new ones. have any of ya'll had experience with powder coating? thanks!!!
to spend $75 each you are best to get new wheels for your rig, and get backspacing if needed.
I had a friend powder coat some rims grey. Wasnt long before they looked chaulky white. Didnt turn out well.
i'm not a fan of powder coating. it chips off easily, especially if it is not prepped right. i've had it on bumpers and once you scrape it it flakes off.
$75 is alot to pay just for powdercoating...i bought new pro comp steel wheels that CAME powdercoated for about $50 a piece...
i think it has alot to do with the prep work... the rockers i got from PSC flaked and chipped off in places that didnt see any use/abuse. My bumper and other stuff i have done locally have taken HIT after HIT after HIT and are holding up ALOT better than painted stuff. I think a raw wheel(minimal prep/no sand blasting or acid dip) costs about $35 to get done where i'm at.
Painting is easier and can be touched up... as jgano23 said, poweder coating can chip or if it gets scratched you can't touch it up. then rust sets in and the rest will look like crud after awhile.
I've had my MOABs powder coated black for the past 2yrs and just now starting to look like they need some touching up.
I wheel it pretty dam good at the Badlands park so they've been seeing some more rock rash lately. I did do a touch up on them last year on them and you can't even tell the difference in them.
I only got charged $35ea for them at the time, 2yrs ago.

those are still looking pretty good. How do you touch them up though? I don't think I could get away with powder coating my wheelscuz they get scratched way to easy (the way I drive. lol). I repaint them occasionally with a cheap can of black paint can and they are good as new. Stuff that doesn't see rocks or the trail much would be good for powdercoating.
I ended up just using some gloss black rattle can. I acgtaully had a big chip area taken out, and masked the area and got it to blend pretty good actually. 1 yr later I cant remember wher the area was now... lOL
Id just use some good paint. Much easier to touch up and not as big a deal if it gets scratched up. If its gonna see the trail often anyway. If not then I could see powder coat being fine. But $75 a wheel is far too steep.
Be careful powdercoating aluminum, it can weaken the metal and cause cracks, steel is a different story. I'm not sure if is the cast or forged, I think it is the cast that can weaken during the process.......:eek:
I do some powder coating at work
We normaly charge around $150-170 for 4 rims (unless they are 22's or 24's then its $200)
powder coating when done right will hold up way better then paint
over the past couple years I have done an experiment I powder coated my front bumper and 2 years later it still looks as good as new this desert sun will fade paint faster then anywhere else and the powder coat looks as shiny as it did when I first did it
now for the rest of my experiment
last year I painted my rock rails with krylon using a metal etch primer and a sanding primer then krylon white
the rails started to rust within a year We dont get much rust out here its rusting from washing the jeep once a month and they started to chip real bad and the paint was rubbing off from getting in and out of the jeep
the paint was real brittle more brittle then if a body shop did it
the front tube fenders I powder coated then white then painted them to match so far its holding up better then expected there are no chips from running down dirt roads and look as good as new when washed
the rear quarters I painted like we would at the body shop (or any body shop would)
they chip real easy but besides the rock chips it looks good
I recently took my sliders off sand blasted them then powder coated then white and today I was painting a chrysler car that was the same color as my jeep so I shot them at the same time
in my opinion the powder coated panels are holding up the best
just make sure who ever powder coats those rims for you knows what they are doing or it wont hold up
In my experience - if you want powder coating make it chalk white - that's the color it'll be once it's exposed to the sun for awhile.
It looks good for awhile, then you have to rattle can it anyway.
It's just paint melted on instead of sprayed. Do a search on Google as to how it's done. Nothing trick about it.
I agree that $75 per wheel is way too much! I have had a lot of PC work done to my quad and it has held up well to a good bit of abuse, but for the the money you could get some decent rims.
Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.
i paid 100 a rim for new rims with a better backspacing for wider tires.. not to mention they are aluminum and not steelies.. also the chrome ring hides rockrash better than a black ring
by the looks of your avatar you got the same rims i did from the factory.. mine are now on my xj =D
most lift kit companys powder coat there parts (coils springs, control arms)
Hmm interesting it turns chalk white after sun exposure.....
I find it hard to believe since the company I work for has camera housings and assemblies in the desert for the past 7yrs and they still look as good as new once you wash the dust off them.
I havent seen powder coating turn chalky when exposed to the sun here in the desert
and we have powder coated alot of things out here never a problem
Desert in Ohio?
Like I said - "in my experience."
I live in the Mojave desert, close to Palm Springs - bumpers and such that are powder coated only last a short time here before they turn chalky. At least that's been my experience.
When given the choice, I'd prefer it to be unpainted and not powder coated.
Next time I get something that's been powder coated, I'll send it to you to work your magic on.
Why don't OEM car makers use it for car bodies?
How 'bout stoves, washing machines, driers, and refrigerators - et all?
So far PC has been limited in it's use, so it's relatively expensive in small lots. Detroit still uses wet paint - applied electro-statically (like PC,) often several coats, then clear coated, then baked on (like PC.) It takes several expensive steps to do all that. If using dust in one coat did a better job - and lasted, wouldn't they use it? - thus driving the cost way down.
Aren't all the OEM's always looking for a cheaper way?
Wouldn't ya think they've already looked into it?
Look at the video - the electro-static is used to keep the colored dust on till it's baked on (melted on.)
The good thing about PC - it's very easily removed by sandblasting. It comes off in chunks.
Dearest in CA... LOL calm down, you made a general statement and was just making one back. Everyone is going to have their own experience and opinions about powder coating.
I got a good deal on getting my rims done with PC and have been happy with them every since. Yes I've had to rattle can a couple touch up area, otherwise for the most part they've held up great.
Rock rash is eventually going to be on any rim no matter Steel or Alloy, depending on where you wheel & how you wheel, so there will always be some sort of touch-up or buffing to the wheel involved.
He He - I haven't seen anything that can take rock rash. Even rims themselves get destroyed. PC on rims seems to last longer without chalking than bumpers and things exposed directly to the sun. The sun doesn't hit directly on a rim like on a bumper.
Hmmm, I have no idea how PC stands up to male dogs - probably nothing does.
But it's a Jeep - if it gets used it'll get dirty, scratched, scraped, bent, bashed, smashed, broken, rewelded etc. - it's all to be expected. If "pretty" looks is important, a Corvette would be a better choice.
I make skid plates. I had some powder coated - after the first few runs the the PC was gone. At least with paint they scratch and bend without cracking and falling off.
High underhood temperature PC holds up better.
It's all in what you want to use it for.
I would show you my skid plates that have been powder coated that just scrach when draged over rocks but I dont have any pics at the moment
I never hear of electro static charging the paint in my experience of 20 years of doing body and paint work you dont want it to have any type of static at all the electric static charge will attract dirt and you dont want that expessally since the car manufacture paint jobs are not that good to begin with
I live in the desert and averything I have powder coated hasnt turned chalky
they must be using some bad powder coating product
you know 1# box of powder is $40 and thats enough to coat at least 2 sand rail frames
these pics arnt the best I took them with my cell phone
the whole frame is powder coat on this quad (and yes that a R1 motor in it I did do all the paint work on this quad to
we take this to the dumont every couple weekends until it to hot
on this low rider frame all the green and the rear axle housing is powder coat and its been sitting in the sun and weather for 4 months and its still shiny the cell phone pics are not very good
and this blue yahama peice is powder coat and has been for 2 years your boot rubs that area and its holding up
I forgot alot of the panels on the cars now a days are plastic and you dont have as many fancy colors in powder coat as you do in paint
If there was a market for the fancy colors, they'd be available.
In a factory mass production situation dirt is kept to a minimum, unlike a little paint shop. If it attracted dirt, then why doesn't the PC electrostatic attract it too?
I sent the skid plates out to have them "professionally" done. When they came back they were beautiful. But after a few runs - 2 or 3 - most of it had chipped off.
Underneath protecting the engine they won't get much sun - the occasional sun from a rollover isn't enough to chalk them.
I'm sure Detroit and other OEM's would use it if it was viable.
I have said it before and I'll say it again they need to prep the steel for powder coating if its not preped right it will chip off easy
and I got to thinking of why your stuff would chalk up fast and its because there are a couple differnt forms of powder you order up one of the forms (and they kinda tell you in the drylac book) will turn chalky if its in the sun but its suppost to stick better (used mostly for things like electrical boxes)
we at the shop use the powder that is suppost to look better and last longer for the shine
and as far as a little shop most body shops try to keep the paint booths as dust free as posable a good down draft bake booth cost around $20,000-$50,000
and I called a friend that used to work for GM until just a few years ago when he retired and asked about that electrostatic paint aplication
he never heard of it they paint the cars just like I do Exept the paint guns are different then my $700 dollar paint guns (I have 4 of them all with differnt size tips for what I am spraying at the time clearcoat , base coat, pearl coat or the house of color pearls)
he was telling me that when he was working in the paint side of the factory he was in he painted the jams but there were like 5 painters on a car they had to do up to 20 cars an hour
he said the guns they used was like a pressure pot gun the hoses that connect the guns came out of the wall and the paint its self was in anouther room in a big drum
sorry to necro-post, but i figure its better than starting a whole new thread. any major points against powder coating springs? im getting a lift & would like a little extra 'pizzazz' with green springs to match my Electric Lime Green paint. would the constant compression/extension be a big problem?
I've had some bad luck with PC. My EMP rocker guards peeled and rusted and so did my bumper hoop. My Warrior diff guards are also surface rusting after one winter. But I'm in Cleveland and they use lots of salt. Could be bad prep work too.

William & Catherine
William and Kate's First Daughter Could Be Queen
They're the modern royal couple in every way – including plans for their future children.
Currently in the British monarchy, it's boys who take precedence when it comes to the throne. But when Prince William and Kate Middleton (who will be a royal in just 10 days!) have their first child, and should she be a girl, she could be Queen.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is exploring the idea of removing "male primogeniture," so the first-born boy in a family would no longer take precedence, even if he has an older sister, the U.K. Mail reports.

Thank you for visiting High Impact Ministries
I am a christian scriptural fine art artist. I paint christian scriptural and spiritual related art. I love to draw and paint large paintings like my original; Highway Angel, Moses and the Red Sea, Holy Spirit, and Take it to the Cross to name a few. I have been blessed to have had my art viewed around the world and in countries I have never heard of, at my sites. But I did not want to part with the original paintings because I would not be able to share them again. That legacy I figured was to be shared with my children, and family, churches and orginazations. I have also shared many of the originals with churches and galleries so they could be shared. I have several online galleries.
www.highimpactministries.ws is a for all to view my christian scriptural fine art gallery and accompanning scriptures for free.
But now I feel great to be able to offer everyone not my originals, but the next best thing. Giclee prints on various media, papers and cards. also where you can find options to get frames, matting, canvases in many sizes and colors.
You are now here at www.highimpactministries.com and this site mirrors most of my .ws except here you also have the option to get high quality prints from a secure website at http://fineartamerica.com/shop/daniel-henning.html
You can e-mail me at email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com and soon here at the .com.

Madonna's abs... Renee Zellweger's arms... Kylie's behind... Elle McPherson's legs...
Ask personal fitness trainers, and they'll tell you these are among the most-requested body parts at the gym nowadays. And, although we're each born with a particular shape, good nutrition and the right workout can help you achieve your own version of the fit legs, arms and abs sported by the most talked-about celebrities.
Check out the exercises that can help you get your own star-studded body:
When it comes to great abs, Madonna is at the top of the list. The 44-year-old mother of two is a role model for those who think age and children prevent you from keeping in shape and maintaining a tight, toned midsection!
The secret to flattering abs is good posture and focusing on those muscles while you exercise. By contracting the abdominal muscles, pointing the tailbone towards the floor and keeping your shoulders back and your head balanced on your neck (not leaning forward), you can look and feel taller and slimmer before you've counted one sit-up. Ab exercises should target the rectus abdominus (the muscle extending the length of the front of the abdomen) and the internal and external obliques (the muscles extending along the sides of the abdomen at an angle).
1. Ab Crunches (for upper abdominals)
Lie on your back with hands crossed over chest. With feet and hips on the floor, bend knees toward chest. To begin the exercise, lift torso slowly, elevating shoulder blades and moving ribs towards hips, crunching rib cage toward pelvis. Hold for two counts and lower to the starting position. Repeat.
2. Reverse Curl (for lower abdominals)
Begin in the same starting position used for the crunches. Contract abdominal muscles to lift hips off the floor; bring knees toward chest. Concentrate on using abs to lift pelvis toward lower rib cage. Hold for two counts and move hips back to the floor. Repeat.
3. Diagonal Crunches (for oblique muscles)
Begin in the same starting position used for the crunches. Raise shoulders, moving one shoulder (one side of chest) toward the opposite knee. Hold for two counts. Return shoulder to the floor and repeat. Switch sides. (Do not touch elbow to knee.)
For each exercise, aim for one to three sets of 10 to 20 repetitions, and rest for one minute between sets.
Renee Zellweger gets extra brownie points for packing on a stone to play Bridget Jones, then returning to super-fitness after filming. Great arms, like hers, require attention to both your biceps and triceps. The triceps are located at the back of the upper arm and are used whenever you push something, i.e. a baby pram or shopping trolley. The biceps, located at the front of the upper arm, are used for lifting light objects. The key is finding the right amount of resistance to reach fatigue in 6 to 20 repetitions.
1. Alternating Bicep Curl
Hold weights at sides with palms facing the body. Contract abs and squeeze shoulder blades together; align elbows and wrists with shoulders. Bend arm at the elbow while turning wrists outward until palms are facing the ceiling. Lift weight towards the shoulder without moving upper arm. Stop the motion when the weight meets the shoulder; hold for one count. Return weight to starting position. Repeat.
2. Triceps Kick Back
With left leg forward and slightly bent, place left hand on thigh for balance. Hold weight in right hand, elbow bent at a 90-degree angle, at waist height. Without moving the upper arm, straighten the arm at the elbow, so that the weight goes backward. Hold; return to starting position. Repeat. Switch sides.
For each exercise, aim for one to two sets of 10 to 20 repetitions, and rest for one minute between sets.
Elle McPherson is known for her shapely legs. To achieve well-shaped and toned legs, combine regular cardiovascular workouts with resistance exercises using specific upper and lower leg muscles such as the thighs (which include the hamstrings and quadriceps) and calves. This is where you get lucky: Lunges and squats are the ultimate lower body exercises, training every major muscle in the upper leg and calf as well as the muscle in your butt at once. In other words, a terrific time saver!
1. Lunges (for quadriceps, hamstrings, butt, hip flexors and calf muscles)
Stand with feet together; slowly lower body into a lunge position - step forward with the right leg and lower the left leg, keeping front knee and back knee at 90-degree angles. Keeping the weight in your heels, push back up (slowly!) to starting position. Never lock knees at the top and never let knee bend past toes. Keep torso tight and upright (don't hunch!).
2. Squats (for thighs, hips, butt, calves, shins and lower back)
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart; slowly lower body as though sitting in a chair until thighs are parallel to the ground. Keeping the weight in heels, push yourself up slowly until reaching starting position. Don't let knees extend over toes; keep torso tight and erect.
3. Plié or Ballet Squat (for inner thighs, quadriceps and butt)
Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes out at a comfortable angle. Bend knees and lower body towards the floor, keeping knees in line with toes and squeezing through heels when pushing back up. Don't lock knees at the top of movement; keep abs and back tight and straight.
For each exercise, aim for one to three sets of 10 repetitions, and rest for one minute between sets.
Buns, bum, backside, derrierre... whatever you call it, practically everybody wants a firm, shapely one like Kylie! As discussed in the leg section, lunges and squats are super for your posterior, but this exercise also targets the muscles that extend your hips - the hip flexors.
Straight Leg Reverse Lift
On your hands and knees, straighten left leg, keeping right leg bent to support weight along with arms. Begin to lift leg towards the ceiling, contracting buttocks muscles at the same time. Hold at the top for one count. Lower leg and repeat. Switch sides.
Aim for one to three sets of 12 to 15 repetitions and rest for 1 minute between sets.

About RickyRood
I'm a professor at U Michigan and lead a course on climate change problem solving. These articles often come from and contribute to the course.
By: Dr. Ricky Rood , 12:11 AM GMT on êواêر 10, 2017
Fear and Loathing, Irony and Deception
Surely, some will think that I will sound like an apologist in this blog. Oh, well.
Several colleagues have told me that my last blog / editorial was a struggle to find optimism. After finishing that blog, I had no sense of optimism. (I expect an updated version of the editorial will be published in the February print edition of EOS.)
A common emotion among my climate friends is a feeling of loss, much like the death of someone close. I feel threat to my livelihood, my health insurance, and my retirement. I feel threat to the practice of science and the use of science-based knowledge. I feel threat to the country – to the stubborn checks and balances built into our government to support a participatory democracy.
However, we have what we have.
During the presidential transition, a number of statements hostile to climate science and climate scientists have risen and, perhaps, fallen. There was the request for names of climate scientists in the Department of Energy. There were the statements about NASA's Earth observations being cut or eliminated – some sort of merger with NOAA, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. There is the ongoing anxiety, in some cases panic, about the collection, management, and provision of climate data by the U.S. government. There are the many concerns about the future of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Climate change is a political issue. It may be motivated and informed by scientific investigation, but it is a political issue. It is a political issue that is intertwined with energy policy. By extension, it is intertwined with the economy. Climate change is entangled with beliefs, self-identification, and power structures.
The responses to the Trump election by the climate community are not monolithic or simple. The responses that seem to dominate in public are panic and simplistic, speculative fear. These responses play into the political strategy of those who dismiss or oppose climate change as an important environmental and societal issue. Panic and fear-based speculation about the damage that will be wrought by hostile actors increase the likelihood that those fears will come true. I believe that is the classic definition of irony. A response that limits itself to outrage at political appointees, and in some cases, dismissal of those appointees as laughable, uninformed individuals, virtually assures the success of those appointees in their new jobs.
A point of my previous editorial was that there is opportunity in what, on the surface, appears as an absolute disaster for climate policy, climate science, and climate professionals. To take advantage of those opportunities requires leadership, organization, presence, and recognition that there are points of negotiation and possibility.
I have been called by colleagues and journalists to get my comments on, for example, the efforts by some scientists and activists to archive and preserve climate data. Whenever I get a call on a subject like this, it seems that they want an answer that either substantiates or amplifies the narrative of war and peace, good and bad, evil and virtue. Usually, however, I find such amplification to be less than useful and, sincerely, not justified. Often my comments end up on the cutting room floor.
When I am asked about Rick Perry, the nominee for Energy Secretary, having said that he wants to shut down the Department of Energy or, more generally, about Trump's transition team's hostility towards the EPA, my first response is that there is precedence. This is not new. Spencer Abraham was an Energy Secretary who rather famously, as an elected politician, wanted to eliminate the Department.
The same is true with NASA. Through most of my career at NASA, there were some politicians who wanted to eliminate the Earth observing parts of NASA. There were budget markups with potentially devastating consequences. There were proposals to combine NASA, NOAA, and the U.S. Geological Survey. Some of these proposals made sense. At the same time, they could be construed as an analogue to corporate mergers, which are used as an opportunity to eliminate those functions and those people that are unwanted by the corporate leaders. The contrast between sensible reforms and existential threat is a frequent characteristic of political back and forth.
We are a country often based on conflicting points of views, presented with prejudice, and resolved with some sort of balance of the points of view or adjudication. We do not rely, primarily, on evidence-based, deliberative, decision making.
We do, in fact, have some models of what we might expect to happen. Several states, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida, have tried to suppress and control the language of climate change. Most recently there is the example of Wisconsin (link1, link2, link3). As carefully documented with before and after examples of the words, the human influence on climate change was purged from the web pages of the Department of Natural Resources. Our changing climate is framed as a child, going through a mysterious change. Rather than having an evidence-based foundation for rational planning, we leave climate change to Providence and a response based on reaction and whim. By leaving the causes of climate change out of the language, they are left out of public policy, and there is an unnecessary increase in risk.
This sort of political messaging, which I always view as a sin of omission or information hiding, is deceptive. It is, however, standard behavior in politics and business. In fact, in Wisconsin it is not new. In 2015, I wrote a blog on Wisconsin's Board of Commissioners of Public Lands not allowing its employees to discuss how climate change affects the lands that it oversees. (A collection of Wisconsin articles.)
This type of message management should be expected as a tactic. Indeed, if I were in the government, I could think of a host of ways to disrupt the federal provision and interpretation of climate data. There are easy ways to take down servers. I expect that much of the excellent analysis placed in the public domain during the Obama administration to sink far below the surface. I expect the hard-earned improvements of climate services to stagnate.
I do not think that observational data will be destroyed; I suspect that would break the law, and presently, I think that we will remain a country of law.
I expect that there will be attempts to weaken many environmental laws. I worry that participation in the panic and fear-based speculation will divert attention from the important issues.
I worry that exaggeration and amplification of anxiety in social media will fuel ineffective fury.
Though I pointed out examples, above, of similar attacks on climate science in the past, I do not mean to suggest, hence, all will be all right. We are in the situation when the executive vigor and legislative wherewithal are in position to do considerable damage. There is the ability to appoint and confirm judges sympathetic to environmental regulation as damaging to business and economic growth. However, there is also the fact that President-elect Trump has proved to be difficult to characterize, resistant to traditional partisan classification, and prone to swift changes of position. Hence, there should be moments of opportunity, which requires leadership, organization, presence, and recognition that there are points of negotiation and possibility.
However, we have what we have. Climate change is a political issue, and it is a political issue that will require political tactics until it is settled policy on a foundation of the settled science.

GCN: iBook G4 review, A- rating
Government Computer News has published a largely positive review of Apple's latest G4 iBook. "The iBook has been a solid performer at a variety of tasks [...] For ordinary e-mail and word processing, the computer felt as fast as any Microsoft Windows notebook I�ve used. PhotoStudio image-editing software ... did tax the iBook�s 133-MHz system bus and processor, however. [...] The full-sized keyboard has a solid key-throw, although the keys rattle a bit. [...] Apple�s slot-loading optical drive is an elegant touch, as is the amazingly small and light�and also snow-white�power brick. [...] Apple�s touch pad is the most perfectly responsive I�ve ever used on a notebook." GCN gave the iBook an "A-" rating.

Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind.

Talk:Garmin G1000
|WikiProject Aviation / Aircraft
|(Rated Start-class)
"Advert" tag and salesy voice[edit]
I think I've successfully neutralized the salesy voice and have thus removed the advert tag. Feel free to stick it back in there if you disagree. I'd also appreciate someone proofreading as I have to head out the door to fly a G1000 DA40... :) ChadScott 00:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Chad, you've done a great job. It's totally factual, accurately representing a system which is the flagship collection of components of the Garmin line, as well as a leading industry example of the right way to approach the issue of integrating modern electronics. Well done, and I sincerely hope no one feels an incessant need to add an advert tag. This is a good article on a key, and rapidly-growing modern general aviation navigation and communication system that's a great example for other companies to follow. It is NOT an advertisement. Mugaliens 23:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
More on advertising[edit]
I have removed the references to the PFC software and Trescott's book, as these seem to be advertising. If someone feels these are important, they could be included through internal links or as references. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 05:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
What are the prices for an EASA certified, let´s say, C172 retrofit? 18.104.22.168 16:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- You can't currently purchase G1000 systems for aftermarket installation in aircraft other than the King Air. The G600 (a G1000 "lite") can be STC'd into aircraft in the United States, but I'm unsure of international aircraft. At any rate, I have yet to see pricing on the G600, but if it's typical of other glass installations (Chelton, etc.) you'd be looking at USD$80,000 or more. -- ChadScott 20:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Updating dated information[edit]
I am updating this page to remove some of the more "outdated" information. The G1000 system (especially in its newer iterations) is becoming far more diverse than what is suggested in this article, so I will try to show a more accurate description of the system as it exists today. For example I am removing many of the LRU "model numbers" since there is a much greater variety of these LRUs in service today than what is suggested by this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 02:06, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Removed unencyclopedic section[edit]
I've removed the following section from the article because it appears to be Wikipedia:Original research ("that I experienced the hard way") as well on the grounds that Wikipedia is not a handbook.
LjL (talk) 16:18, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Suggested Questions to Help Measure Pilot Proficiency[edit]
Here are some "gotchas" that I experienced the hard way. Practicing these on the ground in a trainer will help you ensure you can avoid these points of confusion in the air where you'd rather concentrate on other things. Getting yourself into a state of confusion on an instrument approach is never good, especially in IMC.
1. Look the the Hayward (HWD) RNAV (GPS) Z Rwy 28L approach[1]. If you fly the course reversal pilot nav at 5600', when will you expect to pick up the glidepath. What is the difference between the magenta ">" symbol and the magenta glide path diamond?
2. If you attempt to activate a leg in a flight plan when you are past abeam the terminating fix of that leg, what happens?
3. Look at the Klammath Falls (LMT) RNAV (GPS) RWY 14 approach[2]. If you execute the missed approach but take your time to press the "susp" softkey to enable waypoint sequencing until after LAGYI with the autopilot in nav mode, what happens?
missing links[edit]

Jailed Lawyer Says He Doesn't Remember Teen Sex-Sting Guilty Plea, Seeks Do-Over
Posted Jan 13, 2012 09:50 pm CST
When he signed a plea agreement last year concerning a trip to Florida for the alleged purpose of helping a 14-year-old boy explore intimacy, he wasn't in his right mind, a Maryland lawyer told a federal court in Orlando in a handwritten motion yesterday.
Stressed, anxious, tearful and suicidal, he doesn't even remember what happened, Howard Scott Kalin said in a motion seeking to vacate his plea due to what he describes as ineffective counsel, diminished mental capacity and malicious prosecution. reports the Orlando Sentinel.
Pressured by his lawyer to take the plea last year, Kalin, now 48, says in the filing he has "no clear recollection of the plea hearing, no clear recollection of questions asked to defendant, no clear recollection of defendant's responses, if any, and absolutely no conscious recollection of any matter discussed during this hearing."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Twiglets are a wheat-based snack[1] with a "distinctive knobbly shape" similar to that of a small twig. The taste of Twiglets derives from the yeast extract used in its coating, and has been compared to that of Marmite.[2] They are marketed in the United Kingdom and packaged in 24 g, 45 g, 105 g and 150 g bags and in 200 g tubs.
Twiglets were originally launched in 1932[3] by Peek Freans after being invented by the company's French technical manager, Rondalin Zwadoodie.[4] Today, Twiglets are manufactured in Aintree by United Biscuits subsidiary Jacob's. In the early 1990s, a range of tangy Worcester Sauce Twiglets was introduced. These were not as popular as the original flavour and had been withdrawn by the end of the decade.[5]
In the media[edit]
- Twiglets are the favourite snack of British comedian Justin Lee Collins,[6] footballer Ian Wright, former Prime Minister David Cameron, and chef Nigella Lawson.[7]
- In the episode Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean, Mr Bean runs out of Twiglets at his New Year's Eve party and substitutes real twigs coated with Marmite.
- Twiglets were a frequent gag reference on the original UK version of the TV game show Whose Line Is It Anyway?.
- An internet meme was created from Justin Bieber eating a Twiglet on the Alan Carr talk show.[8]
- In season 1, episode 3 of the UK TV series Spaced, Simon Pegg's character Tim states "I'm not supposed to eat Twiglets" because "they make me violent".[9]

Pros: Works well as USB 3.0
Cons: Very hard to get cards in and out. This is the latching type where you push a card in and it latches, then push in again to release. Problem is it doesn't latch until the card is well below the surface of the slot, so you have to use a fingernail to get it in and out. Applies to both SD and microSD slots.

Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center (TCC) Research Core will provide continuous support to enhance further development and implementation of each subproject. All subprojects will be monitored and evaluated on a regular basis by the Administrative, Evaluation, and Research Cores to ensure timely progress toward achieving proposed goals, objectives, and policy-related outcomes. Based on the evaluation results, all underperforming projects will be discontinued and replaced with new projects as approved by the Administrative Core. Study conceptualization and design, biostatistics, and data management are indispensable components of rigorous and meritorious research. The Research Core of the Transdisciplinary Collaborative Centers for Health Disparities Research will aggregate the research support capacity of the MSM Study Design, Biostatistics, and Data Management Core (SDBDMC)and its collaborating partners: the Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) Program of the Atlanta Clinical and Transitional Sciences Institutes (ACTSI) and the Research Centers at Minority Institutions (RCMI) Transitional Research Network (RTRN) Data Technology and Coordinating Center (DTCC,) affiliated with Jackson State University. This unique collaboration allows the Research Core to meet the needs of the MSM research community through this Transdisciplinary Research Center as well as further stimulate regional collaborations in health disparities and policy-related research. In addition, there are two primary objectives in enhancing research support through the Research Core: 1) to integrate and centralize ongoing health disparities research which will promote greater interdisciplinary research among biomedical, clinical, health services, prevention and community-based researchers and 2) strengthen mentored research training among junior faculty throughout the MSM campus through this core support.

Museum Guide for Brussels
For shoppers and food lovers
Guide to Brussels Outdoors
This is a nice rather large old building right around the corner from the palace. It's big and it's stone columns make it look very interesting. The place offers nice views. Overall I found it worth the stop.
Instead of following the herd (Baaaa !) to see the Grand Place and the Manneken Pis, I suggest you start your experience of Brussels here. Beautiful architecture, outstanding museums (I have reviewed a couple on here if you are interested) and by far the best views across Brussels (I was there last weekend in the rain/snow, and it's still fantastic...
Named a little pretentiously, this hill does have a great view to the Grand Place and the centre of Brussels. Around you are two museums, a church & a very good tourist information place.
The view odf the center from this place is one of my favourites in Brussels. Lot's of young people around when the weather is ok.
We went there in the winter. So, it was not so colorful, but still very pretty. The best part: there are located some nice museums. Please, take some time and go there to have some fun :)
I like the Mont des Arts area. It is an historic neighbourhoud with lot's of beautiful buildings, close to the city center. I would, if I was a tourist, definitely include this in a walk trough brussels
Went there late December. It was cloudy, dull and deadly, no flowers, no leaves on trees. Wish we went there in a different time
Actually the pic featured now (jan 17) is not that of the Mont des Arts or Kunstberg (Art Mountain) in Flemish but of the square on top. Why do I find a flight of stairs so fascinating? Because of the sublime panoramic view, it is a nice and free meeting point, but also because I know that under the stairs...
Nice building similar architecture of all in town ! Is fine to pass from there to take photos !!!!!!!
