Salmon Stream Habitat
In June 2013, thousands of Alaskans spoke out for basic habitat protections around our salmon streams. In response, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly voted to retain 50 foot habitat buffers on the lakes, streams and rivers that support our wild salmon. Despite loud opposition from so-called property rights interests - including the National Association of Realtors - science and common sense prevailed, as the Assembly heard testimony, and received emails and petitions from over 6000 Alaskans who support healthy salmon habitat.
What's Happening Now?
Assemblymen Dale Bagley and Wayne Ogle have introduced Ordinance 2015-14, which would remove basic habitat protections from salmon-bearing lakes and streams in the Kenai Borough except for those in the Kenai and Kasilof watersheds (see map of proposed habitat rollbacks). There will be a final public hearing Tuesday, July 7, 2015, at 6 PM at the Kenai Borough Chambers in Soldotna and we need your voice!
Tell the Kenai Borough Assembly to Protect our Salmon Streams
Most people understand the banks of streams and lakes provide important habitat for salmon. Many people also recognize these natural areas protect private property by stabilizing banks and reducing the risks of flood damage. But did you know that natural stream banks on private property also can increase property value?
The destruction of natural stream banks has helped accelerate the demise of wild salmon from Europe to New England to the Pacific Northwest. In Alaska, we continued to repeat the mistakes made elsewhere.
In 2011, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly voted 7-2 to pass an important ordinance (2011-12), which established 50 foot protected areas adjacent to all salmon streams and lakes in the Kenai Peninsula Borough. This ordinance recognized the need to protect the headwater streams where our salmon spawn and rear. Unfortunately, a loud and vocal minority pushed back, and forced another vote on salmon habitat protections in June 2013. There, thousands of Alaskans spoke out, and the Kenai Borough Assembly voted yet again to protect salmon habitat.
The Assembly recognized the vital need to protect the delicate fabric of salmon habitat throughout the region that support our economy, our communities and our families. These setbacks prohibit major construction, excavation, and extensive clearing of vegetation within 50 feet of streams, but allow vegetation control, the removal of dead trees, building boardwalks, docks and fish cleaning stations. In other words, the ordinance strikes a reasonable balance between private property rights and the public interest.
Unfortunately, this issue has arisen yet again, driven by ideological interests from the National Association of Realtors and others that ignore the basic science around salmon habitat protection. On July 7th, the Kenai Assembly will vote on Ordinance 2015-14, which marks a sweeping rollback for salmon habitat across vast parts of the Kenai Borough.
Stand up for Wild Salmon Habitat and a Healthy Economy: Tell the Kenai Borough Assembly to maintain basic salmon habitat protections.
Two ways to you can make a difference:
- Testify at the Kenai Borough Assembly on Tuesday July 7, 2015, at 6:00 P.M. in the Borough Assembly Chambers (George A. Navarre Admin Building, 144 North Binkley), Soldotna, Alaska.
- If you can't testify in person, TAKE ACTION NOW!
Points to consider:
- The Kenai Peninsula Borough has an important stake in the health and sustainability of our salmon fisheries, and it should make every effort to protect local salmon runs and the lifestyles and economies that rely on them;
- Protecting all salmon streams in the Kenai Borough makes economic sense for riparian land owners as well as all residents in the Borough; studies from across the nation show natural areas near lakes and streams actually increase property values;
- Sport and commercial salmon fishing generate over a billion dollars of economic input into the Kenai Peninsula Borough every year and habitat protections are an investment in protecting this vital resource;
- In his book "King of Fish: The Thousand-Year Run of Salmon," Professor David Montgomery recounts how the phenomena known as the "death by a thousand cuts" has led to the demise of once-proud salmon fisheries from Europe to New England to the Pacific Northwest; and
- The importance of stream and lake bank vegetation to fish and wildlife values cannot be overestimated, nor can the importance of wild Alaska salmon runs to our local economy.
- The Assembly and a special task force spent a year on habitat buffers in 2013. There haven't been problems. Let's keep habitat buffers in place.

Just don't care for it! Liked the old way of GB a lot better, just my opinion.

Darren Aronofsky's Noah came out on Blu-Ray and DVD one year ago this month, and to mark the occasion, I have rounded up every bit of footage I can think of that was deleted from the film itself but can still be seen in the trailers and featurettes.
The thematic and visual links between Noah and Darren Aronofsky's earlier films: a gallery
The six films made by Darren Aronofsky to date all tackle different genres and subjects, but they also have some striking things in common.
For one thing, they have generally been made by the same creative team, including composer Clint Mansell (who has scored all six of Aronofsky's films), cinematographer Matthew Libatique (who has shot all of Aronofsky's films except for The Wrestler) and a number of recurring actors (such as Jennifer Connelly, Ellen Burstyn and especially Mark Margolis).
But the films also have some thematic overlaps. As I mentioned in my review of Noah for Books & Culture, Aronofsky films often dwell on the notion that it is impossible to touch perfection and survive. They also tend to revolve around characters who are obsessed with something, often to the characters' detriment. And more often than not, they tend to make references to the Bible, some more pronounced than others.
And that brings us to Noah. When the film came out, a number of critics (such as The Playlist's Drew Taylor) noted that it had some striking things in common with The Fountain in particular. But Noah actually harks back — visually and thematically — to pretty much all of Aronofsky's earlier films to one degree or another.
No, Noah is not Gnostic. (Say that ten times fast!)
Thanks to a lengthy blog post by Brian Mattson, a theologian with the the Center for Cultural Leadership in California, the latest meme to work its way into public discussion of Darren Aronofsky's Noah is that the film is somehow Gnostic, and that it presents a worldview in which God is really Satan and vice versa.
Is there anything to Mattson's claims? Not really, and here's why.
Exclusive: Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel on how they developed the script and where they really got the name for Emma Watson's character in Noah
My interviews with Darren Aronofsky: 1998 | 2014 pt 1 | 2014 pt 3 | 2014 pt 4
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of seeing Darren Aronofsky's Noah and speaking to both Aronofsky and his co-writer/co-producer Ari Handel immediately after the screening. The following is part two of our conversation. You can read part one here. The film comes out Thursday night.
I've heard multiple times about the poem that you wrote, was that high school or is that late elementary, or–?
Darren Aronofsky: That was seventh grade, so I was like 12, 13, probably.
First impressions: Noah (dir. Darren Aronofsky, 2014)
It's tempting to say that Darren Aronofsky's Noah has brought back the Bible epic. It's certainly the first major live-action Bible movie to be produced by a Hollywood studio in decades. But the fascinating thing about this film is how utterly different it is from the Bible movies that came before it. Aronofsky has not revived the genre so much as he has utterly transformed it.
Unlike most Bible films, which take place within decidedly historical contexts, Noah is based on the earliest, most "mythic" chapters of Genesis, as well as some of the Jewish legends that have grown up around those chapters. Building on the ancient otherworldliness of these stories, Aronofsky has created a grounded yet somewhat fantastical environment that is, at times, strikingly reminiscent of the Lord of the Rings movies.
But the core biblical themes — of temptation, wickedness and punishment — are still there, and Aronofsky infuses the genre with his own personal style, not least in his use of haunting dream sequences and in his focus on a morally ambiguous protagonist.
Put it all together and you've got something quite unique.
Noah news round-up: a big opening in South Korea, a look at the Jewish myths behind the film, and more
Well what do you know, Darren Aronofsky's Noah is already playing in theatres and raking in the big bucks… in South Korea.
Various sources are reporting that the film opened there on Thursday (which might mean yesterday, given that it's on the other side of the international date line), and that its first-day gross was on par with that of films like Gravity and Inception. I imagine those particular examples are cited because they were big hits that, like Noah, did not have the advantage of being sequels or part of a franchise.
Amusingly, The Hollywood Reporter suggests that the film owes part of its success to the fact that South Korea "has a large Christian population", while Variety notes that "a large percentage of the South Korean population is agnostic". Well, there's no reason the film couldn't be playing to both audiences.

Kitchen waste and recycling management
We produce an abundance of waste each day, and in the internal environment of where we live and work, we are continually exposed to bacteria, bad odours, and double handling of waste, which is energy inefficient and unhealthy.
In line with Council's implementation of multi-use wheelie bins for recycling, Anthony Axisa has invented the Waste Mate Kitchen Chute and Recycling System, and created a far more efficient solution for the disposal of waste. As waste is being created it can now be placed and sorted, in a single action, directly into the appropriate wheelie bin.
The placement of the wheelie bin requires consideration at working drawing stage. The wheelie bins can be placed on an exterior wall (close to the kitchen); or can be placed under the house in a garage or storage area (beneath the kitchen).
The Waste Mate kitchen chute and recycling system is efficient and considers OH&S issues, such as: ergonomics, by reducing bending and stretching; reduces fatigue by not having to carry waste to the wheelie bins; cleans up internal air by eliminating odour and bacteria; minimises the handling of waste; frees up valuable floor and cabinet space; and consideration is given to those with disabilities.
We are happy to assist the designer with drawings. By sending through plans and elevations we can input the system directly into your drawings, or we can send you standard drawings in Revit.
The product is available in a standard kit form, and can be customised. Please contact us for further information on 07 3844 7800 or via email email@example.com.

NEW YORK – The most important contribution of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly 60 years ago, on December 10, 1948, was to assert a powerful idea: rights are universal. Rights do not depend on membership of a particular community or citizenship in a certain state. They do not derive from a social contract.
Rather, because rights are universal, they are attributes of all human beings. Indeed, they are part of what makes us human. Each of us may enjoy rights. Those who exercise power may do so only in limited ways. The limits are set by rights.
It is, of course, possible to trace the concept of universal rights at least as far back as seventeenth-century English thinking about natural law. The concept was partially embraced in the French Declaration of Rights of 1789 and, to a greater extent, in Thomas Jefferson's language in the same era about "inalienable rights." It also shaped the thinking of those in England who led the anti-slavery struggle of the second half of the eighteenth century, the first human rights movement.
Yet the Universal Declaration marked a giant step forward, as the world's governments – with abstentions from the Soviet bloc states, Saudi Arabia, and apartheid South Africa, but with no votes in opposition – agreed that rights should take precedence over state power.

Graduate Oklahoma
(GO) Club was developed in 2005 as a research-based afterschool program recognizing the impact that movement and nutrition have on academic gains. GO Club provides solutions for reversing childhood obesity trends, curbing risky behaviors and anti-social behaviors, improving academic performance and keeping kids in school.
Students in both GO Club Afterschool and Summer GO Club have the opportunity to participate in non-competitive specialized movement, nutrition education, literacy, STEM and arts education. During the school year, we work with nearly 400 students from TPS, Owasso Public Schools and Bixby Public Schools. We have seen dramatic results in GO Club, including improved math and reading test scores, improved attendance rates, and improved flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and core strength.
Schools that participate in our GO program in 2016-17 include: Bailey Elementary-Owasso, Stone Canyon Elementary-Owasso, McClure Elementary-Tulsa, Eugene Field Elementary-Tulsa, Sequoyah Elementary School-Tulsa, Owasso Family YMCA, Daily Family YMCA, Eugene Field Elementary-Tulsa.
We could not do it without our Graduate Oklahoma partners: Tulsa Health Department, Bixby Public Schools, Owasso Public Schools, Tulsa Public Schools, Tulsa Surgical Hospital, and Growing Together.
Summer GO
The YMCA of Greater Tulsa partners with Teach for America and Tulsa Public Schools to provide the afternoon component to morning summer school classes for more than 800 students at four elementary school sites.
Summer GO is based on and created from the success we have had with our GO Afterschool program, a research based program based on wellness, movement and fun. Along with movement and nutrition activities, special themes and activities vary by site and year. Participants also get energetic, enthusiastic mentoring from the scores of young counselors the YMCA hires for the program.
Kids enrolled in the Y's afternoon program had a 92% attendance rate and had a 10% higher gain in math and 63% higher gain in reading than those kids not enrolled in the afternoon Y program. Summer GO not only has a lasting impact on students but their families as well.
Parents have wonderful things to say about Summer GO!
- "Money is tight for us these days, and we are thankful that we were able to take advantage of the YMCA's excellent program."
- "Without this, Mason would not have been able to attend summer school either."
- "It allowed me to work for an extra month this summer, which kept food on our table. Thank you."
- "I was very impressed with the moral support and encouragement my child received, we are sad that it is over."
- Frances said, "Mommy, I had fun that I am never going to forget!"
Who GO Serves:
In 2015, the populations we served included:
9% American Indian
23% Hispanic
3% Asian
26% Caucasian
30% African-American
9% Multi-racial
20% live with both parents
46% live with mom
8% live with dad
26% live with other

60D, EF and EF-S lens - differences
Jerry-astro wrote:
Blue II wrote:
1. If a 60D has a 1.6x crop factor, shouldn't 50mm on the EF-S be equal to 50mm/1.6 (or 31mm) if I use an EF lens on the same camera ? On the results attached, I'm getting about 42mm and I was expecting to see something around 31mm. Maybe I'm missing something on my math.
Actually, it should be 50 * 1.6, or 80 mm equivalent.
Sorry but this is incorrect and a common area for confusion. 50mm is 50mm, regardless whether it's an EF-S or EF lens. Both a 50mm EF and 50mm EF-S lens will have exactly the same FOV. The 1.6 multiplier compares the FOV of an EF lens mounted on a full frame ( e.g. 5D series) vs. that same lens mounted on a crop camera.
No, it is not incorrect. I stated it was EQUIVALENT to an 80 mm lens on FF. I never said the lens magically changed to a different focal length.
The mounts of both lens types are somewhat different. A crop camera can accept both EF and EF-S lenses. A full frame camera can only accept EF lenses.
That's what I said!

You'll be amazed!
By Dr. J
Installed a couple yesterday to replace some old fluorescent fixtures - the bulbs blew in one and the other, the ballast went. Probably the biggest hassle was installing a receptacle in the ceiling as the LED lights have a plug whereas the fluorescents were hard wired. The LED instructions say not to modify their wiring, but you could easily hard wire these into an existing installation.SO MUCH BRIGHTER than what I had already... words can't describe how much easier it is to see with these compared with the fluorescents (basement). The other pro to these lights is that they are LED and thus are instant-on when compared with the fluorescents, and don't have a "warm up" time.The only con I can think of is that you pretty much HAVE to use chains to mount these as there is no inner panel to remove where you'd be confident driving a screw through to secure the unit directly to a surface. That's not a biggie though, as coupled with the fact that it's got a plug, mounting the unit on chains should make it a breeze to remove in the future (I guess if you needed to "borrow" it for a period of time).Neutral comment - the light is VERY white/blue, so definitely something for a garage/shed/basement/attic and NOT inside a home or living space.Overall great buy.... I'm considering changing out the fluorescents in my garage.

LED Lights...Only way to go
By Big Whit
from Rochester NY
As an master electricians second hand man for the last 30 years I've learned a lot and always up on latest technology. The old 48" fluorescent tube T-12 size style lights ruled for years, then a few years ago the much brighter T-8 size came out which were much smaller in diameter and much brighter. The newer T-8's design while they still had a ballast were much more energy efficient and did not get as hot as the old T-12 design, so they lasted longer. Plus there was not as much buzzing to the newer T-8's. Then BAM!!! the manufacturers genius's came out with all kinds of LED lights and in particular the 48" work shop light. This newest design is so much better in so many ways especially in the pocket book in usage savings. Sure, initially up front this new four foot shop lights are a little pricey at about $30-$40 each but it is money well spent, trust me. These lights are so bright that you almost cannot directly look at them. This particular light that BJ's sells are self contained. What do I mean by that you ask. This is a non serviceable light, meaning that there are no 48" tubes to replace as the light is given it's illumination by LED's which stands for Light Emitting Diodes which are merely small 1/8" square "thing amajigs" as my wife calls them, but plain and simple diodes. So there is nothing to fix or replace. The unit comes with a five year warranty and the unit because it does not generate heat will not burn out and the diodes will last 50,000 hours. Do the math on that one. Were talking that these will last so long our cars will be replaced by flying saucers for transportation before these lights become non functioning. My suggestion is to mount these as high as you can in the ceiling to get the greatest angle of light dispersion and coverage. Rather than use the pull chain I run a hot romex 14-2 wire from a switch to a receptacle where the light is plugged in and then it's a simple matter of throwing the switch on. After a while those pull chain gizmos fail. The switch set up is the best way to go. Lumens is the key word here. These lights generate 5000 lumens. What the heck are Lumens. Simply put, Lumens is the measurement of light that is produced by the lights. The greater the number the brighter the light. For instance the old flashlights with two "D" cell batteries probably put out about 50-75 Lumens. Now there are LED flashlights that produce 2000-3000 Lumens. You could light an object up about 300 yards away or farther. Everything nowadays is LED from cars to house lighting bulbs and this is just one example of the latest technology. We just have to try and learn and catch up with this constant changing world of technology. Hope I have helped out. BUY this unit ,you won't regret it. One more thing for people with non heated garages, barns etc, Fluorescent lights do NOT work properly until the temperature in the area or room is way up, unless they are equipped with "cold weather start up ballast". Most 48" shop lights do not have the cold weather ballast. The cold weather ones are more money to buy and really not needed in the basement. However in a detached shop or garage or barn where it is really cold a normal 48" shop light will buzz and the tubes flicker with great dullness until the woodburning stove or other heat source builds the room to temperature and the units warm up. Then they get brighter. These lED shop lights, no problem. It could be 30 below zero, turn the switch on and instant bright light. Best regards T Whit

Securities and Exchange Commission:
Management Has Enhanced Supervisory Controls and Could Further Improve Efficiency
GAO-17-16: Published: Oct 6, 2016. Publicly Released: Oct 6, 2016.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8678
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
As of the end of fiscal year 2015, the internal supervisory control framework of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reflected key components of federal internal control, including identifying and assessing risks; designing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating controls; and reporting the results. Internal supervisory controls are management processes to help ensure that procedures applicable to staff are performed completely, consistent with applicable policies and procedures, and remain current. SEC's Divisions of Corporation Finance and Enforcement, and Offices of Compliance Inspections and Examinations and Credit Ratings (collectively, the divisions and offices) are subject to requirements of section 961 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) to assess and certify the effectiveness of SEC's internal supervisory controls and report annually to Congress. GAO assessed the framework and each division and office's implementation and determined that it reflected key components of internal control. Since GAO's first review in 2013, the divisions and offices have taken steps to enhance the framework, including developing electronic workflow tracking systems and creating a permanent standards monitoring office.
GAO found that 52 of the 58 tested controls were operating as intended in fiscal year 2015. Of the six controls in which GAO identified deficiencies, none appeared likely to prevent the divisions and offices from achieving the controls' objectives (for reasons that included mitigating evidence or circumstances). For example, for three controls with deficiencies, GAO found that the supervisory control activities had occurred, so the controls' objectives were achieved. SEC officials said that the divisions and offices planned to or already have addressed most of the deficiencies. SEC also generally improved the design and operation of the tested controls. SEC implemented GAO's 2013 recommendation that it should make certain that existing and future supervisory controls have clearly defined activities and clear and readily available documentation demonstrating execution of the activities.
SEC's annual 961 reports to Congress during fiscal years 2013–2015 were consistent with Dodd-Frank Act requirements and the divisions and offices' processes for developing the annual reports reflected components of internal control. The divisions and offices shared information about the report development process through an informal working group. However, GAO found variations among divisions and offices in the design of controls addressing similar risks or objectives, and in testing approaches and documentation, among other differences. Federal internal control standards allow for variation but also emphasize the importance of efficiency and effectiveness. The variations illustrate that SEC has opportunities to improve efficiency and effectiveness through further information sharing about the design, implementation, and testing of internal supervisory controls. The variations occurred, in part, because the working group is informal and thus lacks a clear leadership structure and mandate to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Clarifying the working group's mandate in this way could enable the group to leverage its coordinating role and further promote information sharing with the goal of improving efficiency and effectiveness of filing reviews, investigations, and examinations.
Why GAO Did This Study
Section 961 of the Dodd-Frank Act directs SEC to assess and report annually on internal supervisory controls for staff performing corporate financial securities filing reviews, investigations, and examinations. The act also contains a provision for GAO to report at least every 3 years on SEC's framework for internal supervisory controls applicable to staff performing those activities. GAO first reported on this framework in 2013 (GAO-13-314).
This second triennial report examines (1) the extent to which SEC's framework during 2013–2015 and any changes since GAO's first review reflect key components of internal controls, (2) the extent to which selected controls operated as intended in fiscal year 2015, and (3) SEC's process for developing its annual report to Congress in 2013–2015.
GAO analyzed the internal supervisory control framework and the section 961 assessments and reports of the relevant divisions and offices; selected a nongeneralizable sample of 58 of a total of 104 supervisory controls for testing based on risk and prior deficiencies; and used random samples, inspections, and observations, as appropriate.
What GAO Recommends
The SEC Chair should formalize the informal 961 working group or otherwise establish a formal body to facilitate the coordination of compliance with section 961 of the Dodd-Frank Act across divisions and offices. SEC agreed with GAO's recommendation.
For more information, contact Michael Clements, 202-512-8678, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: SEC concurred with this recommendation and said it would take steps to implement it. When we confirm what actions SEC has taken in response to this recommendation, we will update the information.
Recommendation: To improve and regularize consultation among Corporation Finance, Enforcement, Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations, and Office of Credit Ratings, and make their internal supervisory controls more efficient and effective, the Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission should formalize the Working Group or otherwise establish a formal body to enhance coordination of compliance with section 961 of the Dodd-Frank Act across the divisions and offices.

NORMAL, Ill. (AP) Sophomore guard Osiris Eldridge scored 20 points as Illinois State improved to a perfect 6-0 record at Redbird Arena Saturday night, holding on for a 62-52 win over Cincinnati.
The Redbirds (6-3) held off a stiff Cincinnati rally late in the game after pulling ahead by as many as 19 points in the second half. The Bearcats (4-4) closed to within six points with less than two minutes to play before ISU senior guard Dom Johnson nailed a 3-pointer with 1:48 left to play to put the Redbirds up by nine.
ISU senior forward Anthony Slack scored 10 points, while Johnson tossed in nine. Eldridge led the Redbirds with nine rebounds.
The Redbirds played tight defense all night, holding Cincinnati offensive leader Deonta Vaughn to only eight points. He averages 16 points per game.
John Williamson, Adam Hrycaniuk and Jamual Warren all scored 11 points for Cincinnati.
The Redbirds led by as many as 16 points midway through the half and led at halftime 27-18.
ISU shot 41 percent from the field in the first half, compared to 28 percent for the Bearcats.
Both teams started slowly before the Redbirds quickened the pace, helped by 13 first-half points off the bench.
Saturday's win marked the first time since the 2001-02 season that Illinois State has started 6-0 at home.

Go Lessons
I will teach you how to play the worlds oldest board game known as Go/Baduk/Weiqi
The origins of go are shrouded in the mists of ancient Chinese history, but the game is thought to have originated at least 2500 - 4000 years ago. It is the oldest game still played in its original form.
The board is empty at the onset of the game (unless players agree to place a handicap).
Black makes the first move, after which White and Black alternate.
A move consists of placing one stone of one's own color on an empty intersection on the board.
A player may pass his turn at any time.
A stone or solidly connected group of stones of one color is captured and removed from the board when all the intersections directly adjacent to it are occupied by the enemy. (Capture of the enemy takes precedence over self-capture.)
No stone may be played so as to recreate a former board position.
Two consecutive passes end the game. However, since black begins, white must end the game.
A player's territory consists of all the points the player has either occupied or surrounded.
The player with more territory wins.
Training & Qualifications
I have been playing go for 3 years, although my highest rank was 5k for a short amount of time, even this basic level is extremely difficult to achieve from square one.

Is the "fabled conservative media echo chamber" too successful?
Well, The Nation's Ari Melber argues [1] that it is. He picks up on something we've been noting here on CF and at Media Matters in general for some time [2] -- that the rudderless conservative movement is being led by folks like Rush Limbaugh.
Writes Melber [1]:
For years, independent experts and strategists in both parties all agreed that conservative media was a crucial part of the Republican Party's resurgence. Talk radio mobilized the base, with Rush Limbaugh wielding influence that rivaled most GOP senators. Fox News framed national debates and turned party talking points into conventional wisdom. It worked so well, Democrats pined for their own echo chamber, plowing money into think tanks and political media efforts to imitate the GOP model. The message machine that helped put Republicans in power, however, now looks like an albatross for the opposition party.
Let's take a step back. There has not been a single hearing on Sotomayor's nomination, but Senate Republicans are already playing defense [3] over the party's response to the nomination. But who speaks for the Republican Party? As every politico knows, the GOP's Supreme Court vision was hijacked by Limbaugh and Gingrich, two of the most visible pundits atop the conservative media machine. While the Republicans who wield actual power in this process - U.S. Senators [4] and especially judiciary committee members – have to angle for a single TV appearance, Gingrich holds court with his paid platform on Fox. (Rush also dropped by [5] there Wednesday). Gingrich amplifies his views with an online regiment that is downright millennial in its scope -- including "Second Life [6]." His instantly infamous "Latina woman racist" tweet [7] dominated several news cycles, and his blog post recanting it topped all online political news Wednesday, (according to the news aggregator Memeorandum [8]). And now Limbaugh is backtracking as only he can, volunteering that he might support Sotomayor after all -- but he still thinks she is a racist [9]. Apparently racism is not a disqualifying judicial quality for him.

If you are living in an apartment, you may not have the luxury of triple-pane windows or the flexibility to upgrade to an energy-efficient heating or air conditioning unit. Apartments often are poorly insulated, which results in high electric bills, especially during the height of summer and of winter when running the AC or heater becomes inevitable. Nevertheless, there are things tenants can do save on their electric bills.
Turn off your lights when you're not using them.
Wear an extra layer of clothes in winter instead of turning up the heat.
Heat the rooms you use, and set the thermostat lower for the rest of the apartment. Use portable, small heaters in winter instead of the central heater. These provide significant savings on your electric bill because they consume much less energy.
Use room fans in summer to help move the air around and keep the apartment feeling cooler. Do not use the air conditioning unit to cool rooms you're not using, and be sure to turn set the thermostat a few degrees higher when you're not home.
Close the air-conditioning or heating vents at night except in the bedrooms. This will push more comfortable air to the bedrooms and heat or cool them faster.
Use the blinds or shades in the summer to keep out the sun. In winter, open the blinds during the day to let the sun's heat in; close them at night to keep the heat in.
Ask your landlord or apartment manager to attach weather strips to the doors and windows to reduce air leaks, increase the energy efficiency and save on your electric bill.

"MULVEY Out" or similar banners will be tolerated by Brisbane Roar officials at future home matches provided the club knows about them before kick-off.
On the direction of Roar officials, Suncorp Stadium security guards confiscated a "Mulvey Out" banner, which related to supporter anger over the reappointment of coach Mike Mulvey, during Brisbane's 2-0 win over A-League cellar dwellers Wellington Phoenix on Sunday .
However, Roar general manager Sean Dobson yesterday told The Courier-Mail the banner was seized not because of its message but because it had not been submitted before the match for club approval, as protocol demands.
Dobson said while he was disappointed that Roar fans felt that way about Mulvey being given the job for another two seasons, supporters were entitled to their beliefs.
"It was not offensive in terms of a breach of conduct for what it said," Dobson said.
"We can't impinge on peoples' opinions. We need to respect their opinions.
"It's just that it wasn't signed off by the club beforehand."
In response to the Roar's poor season and the decision to reappoint Mulvey, just 9282 fans, Brisbane's lowest home crowd of the season, attended Sunday's match.
But Dobson said the club remained on target for a season-average crowd of more than 14,000 and blamed indifferent weather for Sunday's small crowd.
"We only had a walk-up of about 1300 and the usual average is 3000. It was just one of those days," he said.
Brisbane return to Suncorp Stadium on March 9, when they host Melbourne Victory.
Dobson maintained the Roar had "no regrets" about retaining Mulvey as coach. "We won't be changing that and Mike will be here for the next couple of years," he said.

Metal bondage (or device bondage) is bondage involving the use of metal apparatuses to restrain a submissive as part of BDSM activities. In contrast to the use of rope to secure a body, metal bondage normally requires careful preparation, since more extravagant devices have either to be built or bought from a specialist. The range of devices can vary significantly, from simple handcuffs or chains to specifically designed chairs or complex bar linkages.

Wang, E. and Ryley, M. and Meinke, H. (2003) Effect of climate variability on event frequency of sorghum ergot in Australia. Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 54 (6). pp. 599-611.
Article Link(s): http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/AR02198
Publisher URL: http://www.publish.csiro.au
The significant effect of ergot, caused by Claviceps africana, on the Australian sorghum industry, has led to considerable research on the identification of resistant genotypes and on the climatic conditions that are conducive to ergot outbreaks. Here we show that the potential number of monthly ergot events differs strongly from year to year in accordance with ENSO (El Niño–Southern Oscillation)-related climate variability. The analysis is based on long-term weather records from 50 locations throughout the sorghum-growing areas of Australia and predicts the potential number of monthly ergot events based on phases of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). For a given location, we found a significant difference in the number of potential ergot events based on SOI phases in the preceding month, with a consistently positive SOI phase providing the greatest risk for the occurrence of ergot for most months and locations. This analysis provides a relative risk assessment for ergot outbreaks based on location and prevailing climatic conditions, thereby assisting in responsive decision-making to reduce the negative effect of sorghum ergot.

Officials from rich northern countries, led by Germany, have said that taking joint responsibility for bank rescues is possible only if recapitalizations don't create major losses—a strong case for putting a heavier burden on private investors.
The EU... in June proposed a new legal framework for dealing with failing banks...Crucially, the new rules would force national authorities to force losses on—or "bail in"—all creditors, for instance by converting debt into shares, when a bank has to be recapitalized by its governments.
WSJ, 15 July 2012
It would appear that the EU and/or the eurozone are drifting in the direction of removing the safety net from senior creditors and thus ending Too Big To Fail (TBTF). If the proposal becomes law, bank resolutions would impose losses on senior creditors. This means that, if regulators can write off senior debts without a court-supervised liquidation, then senior debt is neither senior nor debt, it is capital. Real debtholders have the right to demand a liquidation, with losses assessed against more junior claimants. If regulators can simply step in and treat senior bonds the same as other capital instruments, then senior bonds are capital instruments. When a bank can default on its senior debt, it is not TBTF.
This is another example of the eurozone expressing its unconscious death wish. Earlier, the zone experimented with the idea of allowing Greek government bondholders to take losses, which caused huge yield spikes for Spain and Italy from which they have not recovered. Now it proposes the same experiment with bank bondholders. Let's see if it works better this time.
