MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - The contest for Berkeley County's 16th Senatorial District pits a two-term Democrat incumbent against a former chairman of the county's Republican Executive Committee.
Martinsburg resident Jerry Mays announced in January he was running to unseat Sen. John Unger, whom he described as not responsive to constituent requests and frequently absent from his district.
"We hear constantly that our needs in the Eastern Panhandle are different from the rest of the state and these differences demand a senator who will work full time with the rest of the Eastern Panhandle delegation, who will be responsive to the voters of Jefferson and Berkeley counties, who will follow through on legislative initiatives, who will be here to see that your calls are answered and that an immediate response is forthcoming," Mays said.
Unger said he announced his campaign for a third term in the Senate one door at a time to county residents during a series of weekend campaign appearances last month. He called allegations of nonresponsiveness a misrepresentation, noting his work to bring a new police barracks to Martinsburg, a Department of Motor Vehicles office to Jefferson County, and work on behalf of Berkeley County's farmland protection board and parks and recreation agency.

Riki wrote "If You Value Autistics, Return Our Voices" at ZebraRiki.
(Note: I started this on Monday, but then I was too exhausted to finish it, so I'm posting it a day late)
Today is Autistic Speaking Day.
It's Autistic Speaking day, and my friend and colleague is in Ottawa
at a National Youth Forum discussing what an accessible Canada would
look like.
It's Autistic Speaking day and just yesterday I rolled into a
theatre, saw my name on a sign as the guest speaker, and reflected on
the collaboration we had we done with the theater company and the amazing work that has been done this past year.
I've spoken at the United Nations in Geneva, made UN submissions as
an autistic person representing autistics, been involved in National
and you know what?
this morning my phone broke even more, and I cried.
I pressed the non-responsive buttons repeatedly as if they some how held the answers I desperately needed.
I stared at that broken phone in disbelief and all the exhaustion came rushing back.
I'm so tired.
Last night was amazing. It was amazing and I was preparing to write a
very different post for today. I still want to write that post.
But this one, this is something I have been putting off for so long.
A few weeks ago when I spoke at the consultation for the Canada
Accessibility Act, I first spoke on the barriers I was facing as I was
working to be involved in advocacy (and other things). How having a
disability, especially multiple disabilities, impacts how you are able
to deal with your disability. How being poor, not living in acccessible
housing, and not having access to necessary medical supplies has left
me with constant health problems in addition to what I normally deal
with. How I struggle to fill out forms so much that it is often easier
for me to simply go without, how this means I miss out on constant
opportunities. Everything I accomplish takes so much out of me that I
return exhausted, with less energy complete necessary functions others
consider simple. With increased damage to my body.
I have failed disability studies courses 5 separate times.
That's a different post, but it's important because I so often see
amazing disabled people pushed out of the field, their experiences
enriching their non-disabled classmates, who go on to graduate and find
jobs in the field,
while our expertise is overlooked and miscredited, and if we are
lucky enough to get paid (we usually are not), we are frequently
underpaid. Our involvement is not considered serious, or work, or
something worth paying for.
This needs to change.
I love what I do, and yes, the stress, the tears, all of it is worth it.
But here is the problem.
I don't constantly cry about money just because it would be easier for me and others,
I do so because I have been barely able to hang on for several months now.
I have some of the most amazing people in my life, and their support,
their love, hope, optimism, that allows me to keep mine. Because my
life is filled with such amazing people, I've spent the past few months
trying to drag myself through this, knowing that there can be something
in the future.
With all the talk that everyone does about Autism, how much money
raised goes to support Autistics? And actually support them, not just
fund questionable therapies. How much money goes to us, the Autistics
working so hard for this. We don't do it for praise, we often get
dragged through the mud by so many people for this work. We put our
reputations, our sanity, ourselves, on the line for this because we know
they never mattered in the first place.
And all I want is for someone else to not have to make the choices
I've had to make. To not have to try to balance a non-existent budget
but then find out too late that when you don't eat because you ran out
of food, it's impossible to work.
I don't want people having to triage emergencies, because everything is urgent.
I don't want people losing themselves because it's hard when you
don't have time to process your own trauma and tragedy. To deal with
It's terrifying to make decisions that will be better for you and
your community in the long run but right now, oh right now they hurt.
They hurt so much. And yes, yes they are worth it.
But that doesn't make them hurt less.
I do not regret my decisions.
But sometimes I have to take a moment and just acknowledge the weight of them. It's how I stop it from crushing me.
So I am writing this because the last year has been amazing but also
terrifying. I wouldn't have made it without having such an amazing
group of awesome supportive people in my life.
But I can't keep running on empty.
I think I can because I'm so used to it. But I can't.
And this is relevant to you, to others, because I have a lot to give,
a lot that I can do. It's not the same situation here in Canada. I've
tried to replace me before, but we're not yet there. (Trust me, there
was a whole month long thing where I cried a lot and was willing to put
myself in a very questionable position Patreonbecause we couldn't find a replacement me for something yet).
So what I'm asking for, is help.
especially to non-Autistic people, stop donating to large non-Autistic orgs and consider donating to self advocates.
Stop stealing our voices
Give them back.
If you are able, (and I know, times are very hard right now, for us all), I'm setting up some fundraisers,
No obligation, No pressure, but if you are interested,
I have a YouCaring page, and also a Patreon
To raising Autism awareness and Acceptance, and battling negative stereotypes about Autism. To advocate for the inclusion of Autistic people in the community. To offer a forum to broadcast our stories and thoughts, and to help the messages of Autistic people and non-Austistic allies reach as many people as possible.

Norfolk -- The Port of Virginia received a $750,000 federal grant today that will be used toward the purchase of three pieces of low-emission, hybrid cargo-handling equipment, which will be the first of its kind on the US East Coast.
"We're going to phase-out some older machines that have come to the end of their usefulness and will eventually be headed to recycling," said John F. Reinhart, CEO and executive director of the Virginia Port Authority. "The port is an economic engine and as part of that we have a responsibility to do business in an environmentally-sound fashion, where and when possible. This is an opportunity to act upon that."
The port is replacing a trio of aging, Tier 1 diesel-powered straddle carriers with Tier 4 diesel-electric shuttle carriers. At The Port of Virginia, straddle carriers are used at Norfolk International Terminals and shuttle carriers are used at APMT in Portsmouth, which is where the new machines will be deployed. The hybrid equipment was designed by Kalmar, a leading developer of container handling equipment.
(Through its "Tier" system, the federal government rates non-road diesel engines, with Tier 4 engines being the cleanest-running diesel engines available to industry. Tier 4 standards require that certain emissions be reduced by as much as 90 percent through the use of control technologies, including advanced exhaust-gas after treatment.)
The project cost is $3,423,000 and the port's portion is $2,673,000. The hybrid equipment will be part of the port's Green Operator program, or GO program, which is a voluntary truck replacement and vessel-fuel switching program.
"This effort further integrates our cargo handling sector into the GO program," Reinhart said. "It has been our policy for more than a decade to demonstrate and incorporate clean-diesel technology into our operation. This effort will produce immediate environmental improvements through reduction of emissions, fossil fuel consumption and noise from port operations."

Mustapha Sa'adu, Ahmadu Abubakar Tafida
This study assessed the artisanal fisher folk's perception
of the effects of variability in climatic factors on fish
yield in Kainji Lake basin. The specific objectives were to:
describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents;
assess the artisanal fisher folk's perception of the effects
of variability in climatic factors on fish yield; and assess the
influence of variability in climatic factors on fish yield. Both
primary and secondary data was used for the study. Primary
data was collected from 173 respondents using structured
questionnaires while secondary data was obtained from the
Power Holding Company of Nigeria and the National Institute
of Freshwater Fisheries Research (NIFFR), all of them
located in New Bussa, Niger State. Once collected, the data
was analyzed based on descriptive and inferential statistics
involving the use of multiple regression models. As shown by
the results, 91.32% of respondents were male; many (75.14%)
of them aged between 41 and 60. Most of them (90.18%)
were married and had Quranic education (96.62%). 48.74%
had a household composed of 6 to 10 members. The respondents
perceived all the factors of climate variability (draught,
change in the lake's water levels, variations in the seasonal
calendar, change in seasonal rainfall, Harmattan intensity
and change in temperatures) as unfavorable developments
(with small variations in the mean scores). As an exception,
humidity and change in sunlight conditions were believed to
be favorable aspects by the respondents. The implication is
that all the variables except humidity and change in sunlight
conditions will adversely affect the fish yield, as claimed by
the respondents. As shown by the results of a multiple regression
study of the influence of variability in climatic factors
on fish yield, the temperature had a negative influence on fish yield, whereas water inflow had a positive effect. The study
recommends that the local population should attend adult literacy
classes and improve their formal education levels. The
management of NIFFR and other higher authorities, such as
the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Environment,
that are vested with the responsibility of managing
the water bodies, should be advised to stock the water bodies
with fish species that are resistant to temperature. In turn,
the artisanal fisher folk should be encouraged to improve on
their management practices, especially as regards overfishing
and the use of obnoxious fishing methods. Also, they should
extend their livelihood to such areas as crop production, animal
breeding, trading/commerce and services as alternative
income diversification strategies to cushion the effect of declining
fish yields as a result of climate change.

"Cowan has charted the territory for a medicine of the past and the future and restores one of the vital links for this to happen—the healing power behind our relationship with the plant world."—Malidoma Somé, author of Of Water and the Spirit: Ritual, Magic and Initiation in the Life of an African Shaman
"Eliot Cowan's inspiring Plant Spirit Medicine explores the intrinsic unity and connectedness of all living things. It extends the boundaries of consciousness to include not just humans and animals but plants as well. Important not only because of its profound implications for healing, this book is a blueprint for our survival. It illuminates the kind of sacred regard we must develop for all of life on Earth if our species is to survive and thrive."—Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters
Whether you live in a mountain cabin or a city loft, plant spirits present themselves to us everywhere. Since its first printing in 1995, Plant Spirit Medicine has passed hand-to-hand among countless readers drawn to indigenous spirituality and all things alive and green. In this updated edition, Eliot Cowan invites us to discover the healing power of plants—not merely their physical medicinal properties, but the deeper wisdom and gifts that they offer.
Enriched by many new insights, this guide unfolds as a series of chapters on how plant spirit medicine helped Cowan resolve specific challenges in his own healing journey and in his work with others. In the telling, we learn how plant spirits can directly communicate with and aid all of us, including:
- Plant spirit medicine's five-element view of healing
- Ways to assess our own states of health and balance
- Receiving guidance from plants, including those found within herbal preparations
- New passages on community and sacred plants such as peyote, marijuana, and tobacco
- Additional interviews with plant shamans across diverse traditions, and more

- Review for Plant Spirit Medicine Review by gilad s
I have already been connected with plants since traveling to Peru. After reading the book, plants actually started to talk to me. And they say good and uefull things and I feel them much more alive and freindly. I also started to use plants mentioned in the book with success. I use by the way Ayahuaska and other plants regularly. I also started to pay attention and recall my dreams.

- Review for Plant Spirit Medicine Review by Sandra M
I had already begun working with trees, sort of accidentally, when I came across's Eliot's work. I am convinced that the trees and plants wanted me to have some guidance about how to work with them.
If you hadn't already some knowledge of shamanistic techniques, I think you would find this a strange little book. But this man is really steeped in plant spirit work. I think he has more to offer, and I would like to know more, but he may reserve deeper stuff for his students. Right away I want to read it again.

Great book by Cowan! He and Stephen Harrod Buhner, Pam Montgomery, and a few other similar authors offer us the profound wisdom found in the plant world!

The world needs more of their wisdom!

AVONDALE, OH (FOX19) - The Cincinnati Zoo successfully introduced Jomo, a male silverback western lowland gorilla, to baby Gladys and the gorilla family.
Jomo was first introduced to Gladys, Mara and M'Linzi in an indoor space on April 1. Because those introductions went smoothly, zoo keepers chose not to delay the next phase of introductions and moved two female gorillas, Asha and Anju, to Gladys' group with Jomo already in it about a week later. Zoo keepers said that introduction also went very well.
The main goal of the zoo has been to get Gladys in a typical social group, with a silverback like Jomo, and to have her in a group with expecting mothers. In this case, Asha is pregnant and keepers hope Anju will be eventually. Zoo officials want Gladys and all the "kid" gorillas to grow up together.
"This phase of introductions has been extremely critical and very important for a young gorilla's behavioral and social development," said Cincinnati Zoo spokesperson Tiffany Barnes.
The gorillas now living in the family group with Gladys are M'Linzi, Mara, Asha, Anju, Jomo and Samantha.
The new family will be outside Wednesday around 11 a.m. for zoo visitors. Because Cincinnati weather is still temperamental, Gladys' group will not be outside daily.

On the one hand we have a criminal, a French national of Indian and Vietnamese origin, assumed to have murdered up to a dozen western tourists and now languishing in a Nepalese prison. On the other, we have the top Bollywood bad boy, picked to play a role not too far removed in content from the life of the criminal concerned.
Following media reports suggesting that Sanjay Dutt's new movie Charles and I is based on the life story of Charles Sobhraj, the 'bikini killer' has instructed his French lawyer, Isabelle Countant-Peyre, to write to the producers, People Pictures, asking for a contract or threatening to sue for libel if they didn't. People Pictures rejected the bid out of hand describing it as extortion and claiming that the movie was not based on Sobhraj's life at all.
The life of Charles Sobhraj has been colourful to say the least and would make an excellent movie – even if, the Sanjay Dutt movie has no connection with it. Nicknamed the Snake because of the ease with which he seems able to slide out of trouble, he is accused of up to 12 murders between 1976 and 1997 by luring tourists along the old hippie trail to Nepal. He did this; it appears, to finance a luxurious lifestyle of adventure. It was a natural extension to a crime spree that had begun in the sixties with Raffles-style robberies, mansion burglaries and car thefts.
Always a smooth talker and attractive to women, 64-year-old Sobhraj recently announced his engagement to 20-year-old Nepalese beauty Nihita Biswas, whilst he considers his appeal against the life sentence he is currently serving.

2011 Small Business of the Year
2011 Small Business of the Year
Innovative - that's just one of the words to describe SFP and its founder – 2011 Small Business of the Year.
Larry Sanders grew up on a farm, earned his Ph.D., and then went to work. He understood from personal experience there was a need for creating products that could help the farmer overcome inefficiencies in the soil. His goal: to create products that help today's farmer achieve higher crop yields while, at the same time, preserving the environment. His company now holds about 100 patents.
He founded the company in 1998. After several years of research and data gathering, the company launched its first two products: AVAIL and Nutrisphere-N. There was no money for marketing, Sanders says, so he gave away a lot of product to universities and farmers. There was some disbelief originally as to the products' claims to increase crop yields by as much as 15 percent, but that disbelief quickly dissipated. The results were real, and sales increased dramatically thanks to word of mouth.
Last year SFP's revenues grew by nearly 22 percent, while the number of employees grew by 24 percent. His client list has expanded beyond the U.S., now including the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Zambia, Australia, and Peru.
A company's growth is just one criterion for selection as the "Mr. K" Award. The Small Business of the Year must also excel in employee relations and community service – just as the late Ewing Kauffman – Mr. K - did throughout his entrepreneurial career. Sanders' philosophy is to create outstanding products and hire outstanding employees.
Benefits include health, dental, life, and disability insurance; profit-sharing; a Cafeteria plan; 401 (k); health club membership; and tuition reimbursement. The last two years, employees also received a $5000 bonus.
Not surprisingly, Harvesters is one of the charities SFP and its employees support. Employees receive paid time off for activities they choose to help their favorite charities. SFP also provides pro bono services and products, as well as financial support to area not-for-profits.

The TPS5615 family of synchronous-buck regulator controllers provides an accurate supply voltage to DSPs. The output voltage is internally set by a resistive divider with an accuracy of 1% over the full operating temperature range. A hysteretic controller with user-selectable hysteresis is used to dramatically reduce overshoot and undershoot caused by load transients. Propagation delay from the comparator inputs to the output drivers is less than 250 ns. Overcurrent shutdown and crossover protection for the output drivers combine to eliminate destructive faults in the output FETs. PWRGD monitors the output voltage and pulls the open-collector output low when the output drops below 93% of the nominal output voltage. An overvoltage circuit disables the output drivers if the output voltage rises 15% above the nominal value. The inhibit pin can be used to control power sequencing. Inhibit and undervoltage lockout assures that the 12-V supply voltage and system supply voltage (5 V or 3.3 V) are within proper operating limits before the controller starts. The output driver circuits include 2-A drivers with internal 8-V gate-voltage regulators that can easily provide sufficient power for today's high-powered DSPs. The high-side driver can be configured either as a ground-referenced driver or as a floating bootstrap driver. The TPS5615 family is available in a 28-pin TSSOP PowerPadTM
PowerPAD is a trademark of Texas Instruments Incorporated.package. It operates over a junction temperature range of 0°C to 125°C.

Last night, Ed Schultz broke one of MSNBC's biggest scoops ever—revealing the identity of the man who surreptitiously taped Mitt Romney insisting that "47 percent" of the American people were deadbeats. Then, moments after his fascinating interview with 38-year-old bartender Scott Prouty, Ed announced that the last Ed Show will air tonight, and that he's moving to a new weekend slot on MSNBC in April.
This morning, as many of us were still trying to digest that bit of tumult, the network announced that Chris Hayes, longtime Nation writer and host of the smartest, most stimulating political show on TV, Up w/ Chris Hayes, will replace Schultz in the choice 8 PM weeknight spot.
Although Schultz has been a vociferous champion of labor—indeed, Prouty said he chose Ed's show to reveal his identity because Schultz has been "speaking up for workers all across America. That's the reason I'm here today"—Hayes is, if anything, even more progressive. But he's not quite the picket organizer Ed clearly likes to be. Hayes is a younger, cooler and decidedly more nerdy-in-a-good-way on-air personality. He likes to question issues from every conceivable side and to think outside the two-party box. He not only brings on guests you don't usually see on TV, but his heady discussions often fire up brain cells you don't usually use, especially when sitting in front of the tube. The only question is, will Hayes have that sort of latitude in a show half as long.
The New York Times's Brian Stelter, who in November speculated that MSNBC might replace Ed with the WaPo's Ezra Klein, posed the shift from Schultz to Hayes as "bluster" vs. wonk. While Schultz's ratings were quite healthy, Stelter writes:
The change is predicated on the belief that MSNBC can win a wider audience with Mr. Hayes than it did with Mr. Schultz, a champion of the working class whose bluster didn't always pair well with Ms. Maddow and the channel's other prime-time program, "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell." Mr. Hayes, on the other hand, is just as wonky as Ms. Maddow and Mr. O'Donnell, and is a regular contributor to both of their programs.
I've always liked that MSNBC's nighttime hosts "didn't always pair well." I like that the lineup mixes it up in terms of smooth and rough: There's the heartfelt activist Al Sharpton, the obsessive politico Chris Matthews, the sharp analytical Maddow, and the Hollywoodish O'Donnell with the insider cheat sheets.

TARRANT, Alabama - The owners of the former Gurley Insurance building donated the property to the city of Tarrant.
The Tarrant City Council accepted the donation at its meeting Monday night. Mayor Loxcil Tuck said the building has been vacant for about four years.
"We don't have any plans for it right now," Tuck said. "If we could rent it we might do that, but we'll probably wind up putting it on the market to sell." She said the city does not need any additional space, and it can drop the price from what the property was listed at before it was donated.
The building is located at 1521 Pinson Valley Parkway.
In other business, the council:
- Made an appointment to the Beautification Board;
- Held public hearings and passed a resolution on weed
violations; and
- Declared certain items in the Public Works Department as surplus property.

Logic - the 27-year-old rapper born Sir Robert Bryson Hall II - burst onto the music scene through a series of mixtapes that led to a significant, rabid underground fan base. His tapes -Young, Broke, and Infamous; Young Sinatra; Young Sinatra: Undeniable; Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever–garnered millions of downloads and streams, jumpstarting a worldwide tour all before signing a record deal with Def Jam Recordings in 2014.
With his debut album Under Pressure in 2014, the Gaithersburg, Maryland bred MC, broke free from the pack and established himself as one of the brightest young stars in music. The project was hailed as one of the year's finest hip-hop debuts, with press noting Logic's superior lyricism, cinematic storytelling and important message of peace, love and positivity. The Huffington Post crowned Under Pressure" 2014's Best Hip-Hop Album So Far," iTunes named it "Best Hip Hop Album 2014," Artist Direct called it "The Best Debut of 2014," and MTV News nominated it as "Rap Album Of The Year Contender." The buzz earned Logic performances on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Lollapalooza, Wireless Festival UK, Governor's Ball, and a headline world tour.
Logic's sophomore effort was the 18-track long-player The Incredible True Story (November 2015), which crafted a sci-fi space odyssey script that developed throughout the interludes on the album, and cemented Logic's status as one of music's most creative young MCs. After the album debuted at #1 on the USR&B/Hip Hop Chart, he embarked on the 2016 Incredible World Tour across the U.S. and Canada from February through April. "Bobby Tarantino," his summer 2016 mixtape, upped the ante, as Billboard declared "Logic heats up the summer with a new banger," as Logic co-headlined a massive summer amphitheatre and arena tour.
In 2017, Logic continues to raise the bar with the release of his third full-length album Everybody. The album touches on societal issues that affect us all on a daily basis, including anxiety, depression, race relations and more. Everybody features a wide-array of artists and personalities including Neil de Grasse Tyson, Killer Mike, Chuck D, Alessia Cara and Khalid and has become his most commercially successful album to date.

Democrats are much smarter than Republicans. Democrats for example use a better vocabulary than Republicans. For example, look at Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Trump used words like bigly and huge. Hillary used words like systemic and libyans. The Republican Party started off at being the better of the two but now the Democrats are doing better.

The truth is, intelligence isn't determined by party membership. If it were, then the members of the Libertarian Party would be considered "intelligent" and members of the Democratic Party would be considered "morons" and the Republicans would be considered "idiots." I base this solely on the fact that one is considered intelligent if they are actually defending liberty and trying to improve the United States. Since the Libertarians are the only ones who seem to be doing this, and the Dems and Repubs are doing everything they can to destroy this country, it must be concluded by these criteria that the Libertarians are the only "smart" ones.
But, since these are not real criteria for determining intelligence and since this question is obviously not intended to provoke "real" answers, but rather, tongue in cheek answers like this one, I think you can excuse me for my droning on and on over nothing of relevance.
There is no correlation between intelligence and political beliefs. The personal, political feelings of a person usually are not based in facts or the like. Political beliefs often come from the heart, so it makes no difference if the person is intelligent or not. Sometimes facts for the basis for these opinions, but not always.

I have just configured an SD Card with (what I believe to be the latest) ZX Spectrum core (Release 20170712) for my MiST.
Everything seems to work quite well, except that the behavior of the "Fast tape load" seems erratic.
If it's ON, it will just load the game almost instantly (as expected), but if I turn it OFF the behavior is the same. No 3-4 minutes "slow loading" with the nostalgic colored sidebar stripes or ear bleeding noises ...
I understand I sound like a masochist, but as we all know around here, authenticity is important (or I would not be using a MiST).
Here are my other configured options for your reference:
Video Timmings: ULA-48
Scandoubler Fx: CRT 50%
Memory: Standard 128K
Features: ULA+ & Timex
Does anyone know if this is a bug, or if I'm doing something wrong?

Californians have never known more about a new governor. We've seen him naked on screen. We know about the Nazi father, the celebrity journalist wife, the bodybuilding titles and the crude behavior toward women. We have seen him in theaters, fallen asleep to his voice on television and imitated his accent.
Californians have never known less about a new governor. We've never seen him hold office. We don't know what programs he'll cut, how he'll balance the budget, how he'll negotiate with recalcitrant legislators or how he'll manage the state's bureaucracy.
Lawyers, business people, doctors, even actors leave behind their professions for politics. Arnold Schwarzenegger -- at various times the most physically developed man in the world, Hollywood's most famous actor and soon the 38th governor of California -- has made the switch too, with one critical difference. He is bringing his lifetime of personas, real and fictional, with him to office.
Schwarzenegger, who built his career on changing shape, could claim during his campaign to be just about anything. When talking about his strength in handling a challenge, he was the seven-time world champion in bodybuilding; on the Oprah Winfrey and Howard Stern television shows, an entertainer; to Central Valley alfalfa growers, a farm boy from Austria; to the California Chamber of Commerce, a businessman and investor; in East Los Angeles, a fellow hard-working immigrant.

Keegan Bradley won the 2011 PGA Championship at East Lake in Atlanta with an anchored putter. (Robert Beck/SI) In a recent survey, two-thirds of PGA of America members said they were against banning anchored putters due to concerns over the ban's effect on the growth of the game and the lack of any data to suggest that anchoring is an advantage.
The PGA of America, which represents more than 27,000 teaching professionals and hosts the PGA Championship, shared the results of the survey in a letter to USGA Executive Director Mike Davis and USGA President Glen Nager. Davis announced the USGA's proposed ban on anchored putters in a joint teleconference with R&A Chief Executive Peter Dawson on Wednesday morning.
"We believe that golf is the greatest of all games," the PGA of America's letter stated. "We also believe that we need to continue to do what is necessary to preserve all that makes it unique and, consistent with our mission, take actions to grow the game. Therefore, as you near decisions regarding a potential ban on anchoring, we wanted to be sure that you were aware of the polling results as our PGA members are truly the tangible connection between the game and its participants.
"As Mike mentioned in his presentation to us at our PGA Annual Meeting in Baltimore earlier this month, there does not appear to be any data that suggests that anchoring a golf club results in an unfair competitive advantage. In the absence of such data and based on the polling of our PGA members and all of the exciting progress the industry has made through Golf 2.0 and other related initiatives to make the game more fun and, quite frankly, more enjoyable and welcoming to a broader and more diverse audience, we respectfully ask you to consider our concerns."
The PGA of America is not affiliated with the PGA Tour, which issued its own statement on the ban Wednesday:
"While the USGA and The R&A have kept us updated on this proposed rule change, we only recently have been able to review the final language and have not until now had the opportunity to share it with our Policy Board and membership," the PGA Tour's statement said. "As with any rule change, we will go through our normal process of evaluating the potential impact this will have to all our constituents. It will be discussed at our next annual player meeting on Jan. 22 in San Diego, and it is anticipated that it will be reviewed by our Policy Board during its March meeting. During this review process, we will provide periodic updates to our stakeholders."
Davis said Wednesday that the PGA of America, the PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour are all consulting members of the USGA's Rules of Golf committee and were involved in the discussions about anchored putters, although he declined to say whether PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem agreed with the ban.
"I think it would be fair to say this question would be better answered by Tim himself or a member of the Policy Board, but certainly the Tour is aware of what's going on and they have a process they have to go through," Davis said.
The LPGA Tour put out its own brief statement Wednesday, saying the women's tour has always followed the USGA's rules:
"The LPGA has consistently conducted our official events in accordance with the Rules of Golf as defined by the USGA and the R&A. We certainly respect golf's governing bodies and their long-standing desire to protect and promote the best interests of the game.
"The proposed new Rule 14-1b prohibiting 'anchoring the club' in making a stroke is not yet final and the LPGA will wait with interest while the USGA and R&A consider further comments and suggestions from the golf community.
"In the meantime, we will continue to discuss this proposed change with our players and provide our input and thoughts directly to the USGA and R&A."
The European Tour is a member of the R&A's Rules of Golf committee. The USGA is the governing body for golf in the United States and Mexico; the R&A is the governing body for the rest of the world.
Speaking for the R&A, Dawson said the European Tour is expected to adapt the rule change without any issue, and recalled a saying of former European Tour official Ken Shofield.
"When he was executive director of the European Tour, he said the European Tour are rules followers, not rules makers," Dawson said. "I think from some remarks attributed over the past two or three days to George O'Grady, that sentiment lives on on the European Tour."


text: Hello all, First off, here's my system stats: Mac 10.5.8 G5 w/ iSight 2.1 Ghz CPU (PowerPC) 1 GB RAM I have been using GarageBand, which uses up to 80% when playing a file back. It also becomes unresponsive and bogs the computer down to the point of having to force quit the program. I have lost progress on my work several times due to these lock-ups and I would like to know if anyone has experienced this problem and if there any suggestions as to how to fix it. I am also having issues with the ReportCrash process in the Activity Monitor (it routinely hogs up to 80% of the CPU when there is nothing else running). Is there any way to get rid of this process? I feel that it is using system resources and contributing to my issues with GarageBand. Thanks!

The Chainsmokers are in hot water for making what Twitter users perceived as a culturally insensitive joke during an interview — and sharing it on their own Twitter account.
The duo is currently touring in Asia; over the weekend, they performed at music festival Ultra China. During an interview to promote the festival, though, Alex Pall reportedly made an insensitive joke about Chinese culture. BuzzFeed reports that the video interview has been taken down, but the outlet took screenshots of The Chainsmokers' tweet about it.
It's not clear what outlet the interviewer is from, since he's not identified in the screenshots BuzzFeed shared. In the closed-captions from the screengrabs, though, you can see the interviewer ask Pall whether he gets to bring his dog along on tour. Pall said he doesn't often get to, because his dog is "really ill-behaved" — and then said "Well, I don't know if I'd bring her to China," before laughing. The interviewer is clearly shocked, placing his hand over his mouth in surprise.
Twitter users have interpreted Pall's statement as being a reference to traditions surrounding the Lychee and Dog Meat festival (commonly referred to as the Yulin Dog Meat Festival) in China's Guangxi province.
I don't like the chainsmokers but the yulin dog meat festival still happens every year in china.— gwen (@imacat_twt) September 11, 2017
They are still jerks for joking about it.
The Chainsmokers was referring to Yulin festival. Their comment doesn't reflect on our boys. Stop being so childish 🙄#BTSALBUM7DAYS— Taehyungie 🐯 (@kawaiinejenjen) September 11, 2017
Why cut the video tho @Koreaboo ?? The Chainsmokers simply just commented regarding "Yulin Festival" in china. https://t.co/KoJ3Ttgjwv— Bangtan Boys Daily (@bangtanboysdly) September 11, 2017
soo how are the chainsmokers jus gonna be racist towards asians while they're in asia being interviewed by an asian interviewer in asia— jensol (@szabts) September 11, 2017
Pall's critics have called his remarks "racist toward Asians" for seeming to insinuate that a tourist's pet dog would be stolen and eaten. Nevertheless, the festival doesn't represent the traditions or eating habits of the entire country. And it's very unlikely his dog would have been taken and used as food. As one BuzzFeed commenter pointed out, some Americans have pet pigs, and no one is stealing them to make pulled pork. It might have seemed like a funny comment to Pall at the time, but it came off as insensitive toward many members of The Chainsmokers' audience.
A rep for The Chainsmokers didn't immediately respond to Refinery29's request for comment. We will update this story if and when we obtain a response.

Called out of Slavery
Friday 28 October 2011, by Henri Nouwen//
The Church is the people of God. The Latin word for "church," ecclesia, comes from the Greek ek, which means "out," and kaleo, which means "to call." The Church is the people of God called out of slavery to freedom, sin to salvation, despair to hope, darkness to light, an existence centered on death to an existence focused on life.
When we think of Church we have to think of a body of people, travelling together. We have to envision women, men, and children of all ages, races, and societies supporting one another on their long and often tiresome journeys to their final home.

From Pennsylvania, USA:
I am 16 and have been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes since I was 7. Around when I was 12 or so, I started to skip meals in order to lose weight. I also discovered that skipping your insulin shots also make you lose weight. I started to not eat all day and then binge at night without taking my bedtime insulin (sometimes I would skip my dinner shot too). After awhile, I would go up to 2 days without taking my shots. I was so scared of gaining weight. I have tried to eat a normal diet, but I only end up binging. I have also been to a therapist, but stopped. My parents know my problem to an extent. I am scared to tell them how bad it really is. I feel like a disappointment to them. I can't get back into healthy eating habits and am sick of being sick. Can you help? Thank You.
The first thing to do is to sit down and talk to your parents and tell them the full extent of your problem -- that's what parents are for. Don't be afraid of being a "disappointment" to them.
Skipping injections can lead to fatal ketoacidosis even if you also skip meals or induce vomiting after you eat. Even if you eat no food for a day (which is not a good idea for someone with diabetes) you will need some insulin to prevent ketoacidosis.
If your parents don't know what is happening and you get sick, they will most likely feel terrible they were not able to help you. It can be very hard to manage both the usual teenage stresses and the added stress of having diabetes (I don't know if you also have any added personal stress going on in your life.) It is very important that you ask your parents to help you continue in therapy and work with your physician and a dietitian. It sounds like you may have developed an eating disorder and should be getting the help you need from your family and experienced professionals.
If you are overweight, you can work with your physician, dietitian, and family to work out a healthy meal plan that will allow you to lose weight and to adjust the insulin dose to also keep the blood sugars normal. Keep in mind that weight loss in teenagers with diabetes is usually a slow, gradual process when successful.
If you are not truly overweight, but have an eating disorder, you might need to consider hospitalization to help you control both the eating disorder and your blood sugars.
Good luck and make sure to speak to your parents soon!
