Anyone living within two kilometres of a planned wind farm would have a right to veto it and delay its development, under strict new state guidelines.
The proposal would give residents greater control over wind farms than they now have over other power stations, or over coalmines or coal seam gas developments.
Wind farms lobby government to drop noise controls
The government said it supported the rapidly growing wind industry and remained committed to the target of generating one-fifth of the state's electricity from renewable sources by the end of the decade.
The Planning Minister, Brad Hazzard, said aspects of the guidelines were ''some of the toughest in the country, possibly the world'', but they would not stifle up to $10 billion in investment expected to flow into the sector by 2020.
The plan would force NSW wind farms to be some of the quietest developed at less than 35 decibels, compared with 40 decibels in Victoria, South Australia, New Zealand and Europe, and 50 in the US.
The opposition said the guidelines would ''decimate'' the industry and the Greens believed that slowing wind turbine development would mean more coal seam gas projects.
But several industry players said they could live with the new rules, although they were still digesting the details yesterday.
NSW has a central role in the national energy target of 20 per cent renewable energy by 2020 and, with wind power now the cheapest form of renewable energy, reaching the target would be more expensive if fewer wind turbines were approved.
The draft guidelines, which are open for public comment until March 14, are expected to affect about 13 of the 17 wind farm developments the government is considering.
The key change is the power granted to community complaints. Without written consent from every resident within two kilometres of a proposed wind turbine, a ''gateway process'' is triggered.
Under this process, the wind farm operator must lodge an application addressing a range of concerns about noise, visual impact, any effect on land values, and some other issues, which would then be considered.
Mr Hazzard said the aim had been to strike a balance between residents' concerns and wind power companies, and he expected neither to be satisfied.
''No one can win completely on this,'' he said. The two-kilometre setback was meant to encourage wind farm developers to consult the community, he said.
Mr Hazzard denied the government had given undue weight to the views of people who believed the low-level noise and vibrations from wind farms had health effects and said the government was simply applying ''the precautionary principle''.
''The jury is still out on health issues, very much so,'' he said. ''But we listened to everybody.''
A series of peer-reviewed studies has found no evidence that low-level sound from wind farms makes people ill.
Some people campaigning against wind farms believe evidence of stress and illness attributable to wind farms will be uncovered in the next few years.
Opposition to wind farm proposals is led by residents but their campaigns have received support from climate change sceptics, who believe wind turbines are an unnecessary alternative to coal-fired electricity.
A wind industry body, the Clean Energy Council, said it would examine the details of the new proposal but it was confident most wind farm operators would be capable of working within the new guidelines.
''The wind industry in Australia already faces some of the strictest development guidelines anywhere in the world,'' said the director, Kane Thornton. ''How well it can adapt to these rules will depend on how they are applied in practice - and that remains to be seen.''
The opposition spokesman on the environment, Luke Foley, said the draft law meant NSW would miss out on billions of dollars in investment and regional jobs. ''Victoria has already seen the industry pack up and leave the state after their restrictive policy was implemented and we will risk the same loss of jobs and investment here in NSW.''
The Greens said discouraging wind power investment would mean the promotion of coal seam gas. ''NSW is abandoning the most cost-effective option for reducing its carbon footprint, which in effect means it is giving the green light for coal seam gas projects across the state,'' said the planning spokesman, David Shoebridge.
Wind turbines in NSW now generate about 190 megawatts of electricity, or enough to power about 80,000 average households. But the industry is poised for massive growth, with enough turbines to power more than half a million homes planned for construction in the next five years.
Some states have considerably more wind power than NSW. South Australia generates more than one-fifth of its electricity from wind turbines.

Mike Brown's father was the late Paul Brown, termed "Genghis Khan in a brown fedora" in one account that sticks in my mind. The senior Brown could be stern and unbending, but he was nothing if not principled. After his death in August 1991, I wrote that professional football is the game it is because Brown was the man he was, and I'd like to think I got that right.
For a son of Paul Brown to have, in effect, granted absolution to Henry was altogether inexplicable to me. Not only did Mike Brown, the Bengals' president, reinstate Henry, but he awarded the player, a receiver, a two-year contract. This after the Cincinnati club had announced four months earlier after Henry had been arrested for a fifth time that it was severing its association to a man a Cincinnati judge termed "a one-man crime wave."
For Tom Bass, I had a question: Would Paul Brown have offered a harbor to Henry as his son did? Before he began a coaching association with the Chargers, Bass, a poet, football theorist and all-around good guy, had acted as a coaching lieutenant to Paul Brown from 1968-1970, then had served for five seasons in the Cincinnati club's front office.
"He commanded respect," Bass said of Paul Brown. "That's the difference between the team now and the team then."
Paul Brown might have been a man with a strong sense of ethics, but as Bass remembers, he was not above acting in ways that could be construed as questionable. In 1968, the club's founding season, the Bengals drafted a player who was in a penitentiary. Something to do with a check, according to Bass. He was Jess Phillips, a running back and defensive back out of Michigan State.
"Basically, he was the best guy left," Bass said of the Bengals' selection of Phillips in the fourth round. "The only stipulation coach made was that I had to play him on defense for the first year."
Bass always refers to Paul Brown as "coach."
Phillips would stick around Cincinnati for five seasons, then had two seasons in New Orleans, one in Oakland and two in New England.
Paul Brown had few rules. According to Bass, he felt players should be adult enough to conduct themselves properly.
When they did not, he acted. A player who showed up belatedly for a team flight was cut while he was on the plane.
"I must say that he was the last guy who was late," Bass said.
After he became aware that the Bengals' leading receivers were hurt, Bass said it did not surprise him that the team would reach for Henry. "You tolerate people until you can replace them with someone better," Bass said.
A coach's credo if I have ever heard one. Mike Brown, it seems, is a very forgiving fellow. Or maybe he acted because the Bengals' leading receivers, Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandezadeh, were injured (Johnson a sprained left shoulder, Houshmandezadeh a hamstring problem). Whatever, with coach Marvin Lewis looking on righteously and contending that enlisting Henry was not his doing, the Cincinnati club found that perhaps Henry wasn't such a bad guy, after all.
Henry isn't going to be visible for a while. He is suspended until Week 5. Said Henry: "I have no worries. I am fully confident about the situation. It's kind of like, in the back of my head, I know this is my last opportunity, but I try not to think about it."
I would suggest he start thinking about it. Lewis also has to be held accountable for the Bengals having had 10 player arrests over a 14-month period beginning in April 2006. Those misdeeds happened on Lewis' watch.
By reacquiring Henry, the Bengals have made themselves liable under a new phase of the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy that holds that the league can fine teams whose players misbehave.
At a time when the league is instituting measures meant to eliminate improper behavior by its players, this business with Henry could not be more wrong.
Right there, Angelo became a favorite of mine and we have stayed in touch. The Bills' status in Buffalo having come into question, I sought out Angelo, who said he is not convinced that the club is bound for Toronto, but neither is he convinced it will remain long in the Buffalo area.
"Maybe Los Angeles. Who knows?" Coniglio said.

Article excerpt
Ahoy, Matey! The Barefoot Book of Pirates Retold by Richard Walker Illustrated by Olwyn Whelan Cambridge, MA: Barefoot Books, 1998 $19.99
Yarrrrr! Who doesn't love a good pirate tale? This rollicking collection includes seven pirate stories and illustrations by Olwyn Whelan on every page, which bring the stories to life. There's so much high-seas adventure, it's likely to win over even landlubbing sorts. As the author, Richard Walker, explains in the Sources page at the back of the book, each story has its roots in at least one tale from a different part of the world. The stories included are Scandinavian, English, German, Irish, Japanese, Scottish, and Moroccan, and each is imbued with a different flavor based on its origin.
The German tale, "The Kobold and the Pirates," introduces us to the idea of the kobold: a spirit from the German tradition that is believed to inhabit households as a sort of houseguest, sometimes helpful, sometimes troublesome, always keeping you on your toes.
In the story with Irish roots, "Pirate Grace," we meet a feisty and fearsome female pirate who quickly proves that she is to be taken seriously. …

Built this tool chest in a weekend, my shop was getting out of control. Used some leftover oak veneer plywood I had left over from another project. Did all the cuts with my circular saw and a straightedge. Dadoed the shelves in with my router, and did rabbets for the drawers with my router too. The top border is built out of some solid oak I had leftover.
I turned the knobs on my lathe, used jatoba for them. I did an okay job of keeping them the same. I finished it with a couple coats of tung oil. Nice thing about building something for your shop is that you don't need to spend much time sanding, just went of the rough spots with a card scraper.
I'm still deciding if I want to build dividers and holders for the tools or not. Going to test it our a bit longer and see how I feel.

text: Canon Communications introduces behavioral targeting across websites By Matthew Schwartz. Published on September 10, 2010. Soon after Canon Communications acquired Design News, EDN, Packaging Digest and Test & Measurement World from Reed Business Information last March, Group Publisher Russ Pratt approached his new bosses about adding a behavioral-targeted advertising platform to cater to the new groups of buyers in Canon's portfolio. "These are very sophisticated advertisers that are always pushing us to ask: Who are the people coming to the website and what are they doing?" Pratt said. "Canon's management team were already looking at options for behavioral targeting of website visitors, and the Design Group [Design News, EDN and TMWorld] was the perfect fit—advanced marketers looking for new ways to target an intelligent online audience." The plan turned out to be the spark for bigger program, announced in late August, enabling behavioral targeted advertising and content across Canon's 45 b-to-b websites, which focus on advanced, technology-based manufacturing industries. "We knew when we acquired [the brands] that these guys were market leaders when it came to both the content they were serving up and the advertisers they were selling to," said Jason Brown, VP-digital media at Canon. "So cross-pollination of the experience with the EDN guys and passing that over to the rest of our company was a big part of that." The first behavioral targeting campaign with multiple clients and campaigns was introduced on EDN.com in August. An initial test campaign conducted on EDN.com, which covers the EOEM (electronics original equipment manufacturer) sector, garnered a 49% higher click-through rate than traditional leaderboard and boom-box ad units, which typically generate a 0.2%-to-0.6% click-through rate, Pratt said. Brown stressed that getting to buyers quicker and arming marketers with more pinpointed messaging are at the heart of behavioral targeting. "With microsites, you're looking at minimum of a quarter for the program," he said. "But with behavioral targeting, we're going after a much smaller, but much more potent, audience than ever before; and, due to the CPM nature of the product, advertisers can buy for a day, a week or a month." Canon's behavioral advertising platform is currently exclusive to the company's websites, but expanding the platform to outside ad networks could be an option in the future, Brown said. Behavioral advertising, which commands higher ad rates than traditional Web ads, has for the few years been a staple of online advertising networks and consumer-based websites, but is just starting to make inroads among b-to-b media companies and their customers. Canon said it is among the first b-to-b publishers to use Google/DoubleClick's Boomerang for Publishers service, which tracks users online actions and interests to deliver relevant advertising and content, regardless of where the reader is roaming on Canon's media websites. "If we find that there's a design engineer who's on EDN.com looking at microchips and then he moves over to one of our brands in the medical space, then the "cookie' moves over ... and serves him a continuous stream of relevant, targeted advertising messages," Brown said. Another part of the appeal for media buyers is that they can run multiple ad campaigns via behavioral targeting. "Someone who has downloaded a data sheet or a white paper can now be targeted with a different campaign than someone who has read two news articles," Brown added. "We can help target where the reader is in the sales funnel." David Rowe, media director for b-to-b advertising agency Doremus, said the advantage [of behavioral targeting] is that it opens up inventory an advertiser might not otherwise buy. "With behavioral targeting, the publisher has identified individuals who have demonstrated an interest in a product category or subject matter and can serve them banners anywhere on the site, not just in relevant content areas," he said. • Most Popular In this article: BtoB

Andrew Bynum downplays comparisons with Dwight Howard
The two remain commonly linked.
Andrew Bynum remains the current Lakers' center, showing vast improvement in his post play, ability to fight through double teams, and for now, staying healthy. Dwight Howard remains the current Magic center, considered by many to be the league's top center, the league's top defensive player and the Lakers' most coveted prospect.
When Bynum steps into Amway Arena on Friday for the Lakers' game against the Orlando Magic, he'll use it as a measuring stick for both the team's development as well as his own. Even if Bynum says, "I don't make any comparisons" with himself and Howard, the Lakers' center then reveals his hand.
"The guy is definitely more proven," Bynum said of Howard. "So for myself, I always look up to him and want to be able to get the ball and do the things he does with it. I think I learn a lot from watching him play, the way he rim-runs, and gets low and things like that. It's a fun game."
For what it's worth, however, former Lakers center and TNT analyst Shaquille O'Neal told The Times' Ben Bolch that Bynum "is the best big man in the game right now." But who knows to what degree O'Neal just wants to continue taking swipes at Howard. So below the jump is a more neutral tale of the tape.
1. Post game:
Bynum: His 16.5 points per game average on 52.5% shooting in 34.8 minutes represents an improvement in his overall post game, touch and overall balance. According to Synergy Sports Technology, Bynum's proved incredibly efficient on cuts (65.2%) and post-ups (43.8%). But he's hardly received enough looks on pick-and-roll plays (1 of 4), showing that the dynamic between Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol remains stronger in that area. Although Bynum has improved progressively in fighting through double teams, it still remains unclear if he can hold that up consistently.
Howard: His season average of 19.8 points on 58.5% shooting represents a league average and only partly explains why he's better than Bynum in this department. Howard's proved to be equally dominant in cuts (75%) and pick-and-rolls (70.6%) and consistently strong on post-ups (54.2%). Howard may face a higher turnover rate (3.4), but his double teams prove much more fierce considering the talent he has around him. Fundamentally, Bynum has superior fundamentals than Howard. But this is a results-base analysis.
Edge: Howard
2. Defense:
Bynum: He's proved to be a willing defender ever since accepting a role last season that emphasized remaining close to the basket to intimidate and block defenders driving the lane. He's remained tremendous in that area, significantly altering shots and remaining aggressive to gobble up 13.9 rebounds per contest. On post-up plays, Bynum's held opponents to 33.3% shooting.
But he currently lacks consistency in maintaining proper balance, showing out on pick-and-rolls and communicating on defense. His conditioning also largely holds him back from becoming the dominant defensive presence he could be.
Howard: He didn't win the league's defensive player of the year for three consecutive seasons by accident. Howard remains incredibly fast and agile considering his 6-11, 265-pound frame. He remains sharp on extending out on the perimeter on pick-and-rolls. And he remains solid in defending spot-up shooters, limiting them to a 34% clip.
Edge: Howard
3. Work ethic:
Bynum: He shows a thirst for knowledge. Bynum took up boxing classes this summer to improve his mobility. He constantly reads self-help books that help him meditate, reinforce positive thinking and visualize goals. And Bynum's recently gravitated toward individual instruction.
Howard: He spent one summer working with Hakeem Olajuwon on his post moves. Despite his glowing personality, he remains a competitor. But Howard seeks the spotlight far more than Bynum, who prefers keeping to himself and working.
Edge: Bynum.
4. Health:
Bynum: Whether you think he's injury prone or has suffered unlucky breaks, facts are facts. He missed 46 regular-season games in the 2007-08 season because of a partially dislocated kneecap suffered against the Memphis Grizzlies. Bynum sat out 32 games of the 2008-09 season because of a right-knee injury. He remained sidelined for 13 games in the 2009-10 season because of a left Achilles tendon and then played through the post-season with a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee. Bynum then missed the first 24 games of last season while recovering from off-season surgery.
Howard: He barely has much of a medical record. Howard has missed only seven games in his seven-year career, including two with a stomach virus and two to suspensions.
Edge: Howard
Lakers should still covet Dwight Howard over Andrew Bynum
Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard would mesh well together
Andrew Bynum can do the little things while adapting to double teams

Vivian Girls bassist Katy Goodman records solo stuff as La Sera, and she's about to release her new album Sees The Light. We've already posted her fun "Please Be My Third Eye" video, and now she's got another clip for two of the album's songs, a sort of video-within-the-video thing. In "Real Boy," she's a trapeze artist dreaming about her circus's strongman. And in the noir-ified "Drive On," she's an unsuspecting stalkee. Both of them have more S&M undercurrents than you might expect, but the whole thing is decidedly safe for work. Travis Peterson directs; watch the video for both tracks below.

Sees The Light is out 3/27 on Hardly Art.

A nice event at the European Parliament results in some good promises from EU officials that Europe "won't compromise" on Durban II. (See report.) The promise that Europe will withdraw if red lines are crossed is not new. But: (1) When? and (2) Is the reaffirmation of the 2001 Durban Declaration one of those red lines?
In Washington, there's not much surprise that Europe remains fully engaged with the process. The Russian re-draft seems to have been cleverly designed to eliminate the most noxious language and allowing Europe to stay in the game.

Under the Köppen Climate Classification climate classification, "dry-summer subtropical" climates are often referred to as "Mediterranean". This climate zone has an an average temperature above 10°C (50°F) in their warmest months, and an average in the coldest between 18 to -3°C (64 to 27°F). Summers tend to be dry with less than one-third that of the wettest winter month, and with less than 30mm (1.18 in) of precipitation in a summer month. Many of the regions with Mediterranean climates have relatively mild winters and very warm summers.
The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Csa". (Mediterran Climate).
The average temperature for the year in Montpelier is 62.0°F (16.7°C). The warmest month, on average, is July with an average temperature of 78.0°F (25.6°C). The coolest month on average is January, with an average temperature of 46.0°F (7.8°C).
The highest recorded temperature in Montpelier is 115.0°F (46.1°C), which was recorded in July. The lowest recorded temperature in Montpelier is 16.0°F (-8.9°C), which was recorded in December.
The average amount of precipitation for the year in Montpelier is 20.9" (530.9 mm). The month with the most precipitation on average is January with 4.2" (106.7 mm) of precipitation. The month with the least precipitation on average is July with an average of 0.0" (0 mm). In terms of liquid precipitation, there are an average of 59.0 days of rain, with the most rain occurring in January with 10.0 days of rain, and the least rain occurring in June with 1.0 days of rain.

For Cape Cod car dealerships squeezed thin by the economic downturn, a national "Cash for Clunkers" program that began Monday may kick-start a big and much needed sales boost.
For Cape Cod car dealerships squeezed thin by the economic downturn, a national "Cash for Clunkers" program that began Monday may kick-start a big and much needed sales boost.
The $1 billion, federally funded program gives consumers a $3,500 or $4,500 rebate when they trade in their old vehicles in favor of more fuel-efficient cars.
Many local area dealerships have already seen a sales jolt.
"Going into last September, October, that's when things got bad for everyone," said Damon Massey, general sales manager for Balise Nissan in Hyannis, who added that he expects sales at his dealership this year to be 30 percent higher than last year, partly due to the program. "Absolutely, we've seen customers buy cars under the program — in the neighborhood of 19 so far."
Gary Anderson, sales manager of Chatham Ford, agreed. "From what I've heard from other dealers, everyone's experienced an uptick in sales since (the program) started."
This is a welcome change in a time when the auto industry is in flux, he said. "Sales have been in a steady decline since last year. Until this program, sales have been similar this year," Anderson said.
Since the program began, 60 to 70 percent of car buyers have come because of the "clunker" rebates, he said.
Anderson added that sales may increase so much that "the challenge for manufacturers is to ramp up production to cover it."
Interest in the program has driven car shoppers to dealerships even when they aren't buying, said Joe Laham of Premier Cape Cod, which sells Jeeps, Chryslers and Dodges. "We've had a tremendous influx of traffic, both physically and online," Laham said.
The national program is scheduled to expire on Nov. 1, and consumers eager to take advantage of the rebates may use up the $1 billion allotted by Congress before that end date.
"The money will probably run out in a month and a half," said David Gavin, general sales manager of Hyannis Honda. Bucking national auto industry trends, he said the dealership has boomed recently, experiencing a 30 percent sales increase annually for the past two or three years.
Still, the rebate program is certain to help sales even more, Gavin said.
Under the program's rules, the trade-in vehicle must be a 1984 model or newer and must get 18 miles per gallon or less in the government's combined highway/city ratings.
Buyers can get $3,500 for a new car if it gets at least 4 mpg more than the old one. That rises to $4,500 if the new vehicle gets at least 10 mpg more.
For SUVs, pickup trucks or minivans, owners can get a $3,500 rebate if the new vehicle gets at least 2 mpg more than the old vehicle, $4,500 if it gets at least 5 mpg more.

Looking at me, pale-skinned and blonde-haired, you would not know that I come from a diverse background with an African-American great-grandmother and an American-Indian great-grandfather. Though I grew up in a white neighborhood, I felt a call to racial reconciliation after learning about the issues of racism and racial injustice partly through the stories of my family members and the hardships they faced because of their race. Early on, I learned that this ministry needed to start with honest dialogue within a caring community where I would gain an awareness of my own lack of understanding and my limited cultural lens -- a lesson I learned when I was the Director of Chapel at Fuller Theological Seminary.
Fuller Seminary, with students from more than one hundred denominations and more than sixty countries, provides weekly chapels for the different groups of people. A weekly All-Seminary Chapel is also offered for the whole community. To be true to the whole community, the All-Seminary Chapel needed to be diverse in its music, liturgy, images, languages, and participants. This was something to which I was deeply committed.
At one particular chapel, at the request of the speaker, we projected images of Jesus throughout the sermon, images that the speaker gave our chapel planning team. Personally, I was moved by the images and the message and felt good about the entire chapel service. That week an African-American student and friend had coffee with me and brought up the chapel service. To my surprise, she told me that she was extremely disappointed in chapel. She said, "Allison, every image of Jesus was that of a white man; couldn't there have been some different images to reflect the diversity of those attending chapel?" In the moment, I was tempted to defend myself, to explain that someone else chose the images and that I had not reviewed them beforehand, but honestly I knew I wouldn't have changed anything. I knew this because her suggestion did not cross my mind when I was looking at the images during that chapel.
Upon reflection, I recognized that even though my family's diversity had given me a unique experience and awareness, and that I was committed to representing cultural diversity in worship, I saw those images of Jesus through a particular cultural lens. That lens did not represent the full picture of the diversity of the kingdom of God. Through the gracious "correction" of my friend, my cultural lens was expanded to understand how it would have felt for her sitting in that chapel service. Consequently, I could make better decisions in planning future worship services to represent a more accurate picture of the kingdom of God.
After this experience, I realized that my journey of racial reconciliation needed to include the often uncomfortable process of self-examination. For me this examination revealed truths that were not so pleasant to own, but they were vital to the process of racial reconciliation.

A Proline Prosonic Flow ultrasonic flowmeter measures the flow rate of the passing fluid by using
sensor pairs located on opposite sides of the meter body and at an angle so that one of the sensors in the pair is slightly mounted downstream. The design is non-invasive and does not have any moving
The flow signal is established by alternating an acoustic signal between the sensor pairs and
measuring the transit time of each transmission. Then utilizing the fact that sound travels faster
with the flow versus against the flow, this differential time (D T) can be used to determine the fluids
velocity between the sensors.
The volume flow rate is established by combining all the flow velocities determined by the sensor
pairs with the cross sectional area of the meter body and extensive knowledge about fluid flow
dynamics. The design of the sensors and their position ensures that only a short straight run of pipe
upstream of the meter is required after typical flow obstructions such as bends in one or two planes.
Advance digital signal processing facilitates constant validation of the flow measurement reducing
susceptibility to multiphase flow conditions and increases the reliability of the measurement.

As the protests against the United States of America grows among the privileged, super rich professional football players of the National Football League, what was once America's game is fast become anti-America's game and millions of fans are getting upset enough to boycott the NFL.
The anti-American trend began when a player hoping to bolster his rapidly failing NFL career lighted upon an ideal way to get his name in the news and serve to give himself an excuse if he were to be cut from his team.
At the end of August, San Francisco (where else) 49ers second string quarterback Colin Kaepernick decided that after standing for the national anthem for five years as an NFL player, now he suddenly hates the U.S. so much he can no longer stand when "The Star Spangled Banner" is played.
Trending: The President's Beef with Stormy Daniels SOMEHOW Got Dumber
The player's hateful action was at first ignored by both the national media as well as the national sports media. As Breitbart News reported, immediately after the game no one in the sports media asked Kaepernick nor coach Chip Kelly why the player was not standing during the playing of the anthem.
But as we reported here at Constitution.com, not long after the post game reportage was over and fans noticed what Kaepernick did, social media began to fill with attacks on the player's unmitigated hatred for the country. The pressure mounted quickly and likely expecting to be congratulated for his "bravery," Kaepernick soon was forced to explain why he did what he did.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color," Kaepernick said. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
Naturally the claims that police are perpetrating an inordinate number of "murders" of black youth is little else but a claim predicated on a lie.
Let's take Chicago as a glaring example. In the Windy City there have been well over 500 murders this year–most of them of African Americans. Now, if we are to believe the lies from hotheads like Colin Kaepernick we'd expect that at least half that number was killed by Chicago cops, right? So, what is the real number? Its six. That's right. Out of over 500 shooting deaths in Chicago for 2016, only six were police-involved shootings. Six. That is hardly the avalanche of cases of police murdering blacks that the Colin Kaepernicks of the world are whining about, is it?
Further more, statistics show that black males in America's big cities are more likely to kill a police officer than a police officer is to kill a black male.
In her new book, "The War On Cops," author Heather MacDonald reveals FBI data showing that police officers are 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black man than black men are of being killed by a cop. MacDonald also reports that 40 percent of all cop killers are black men. These statistics seem to prove that police have far more to fear from black males than black males have to fear at the hands of police.
Kaepernick has a long history of using his Twitter feed for this sort of overt rabble rousing, of course. But still, it seems likely that instead of trying to make some profound statement, he was more interested in trying to create a situation where he could call the NFL "racist" if he were to be cut from the 49ers as everyone had been expecting prior to his desperate bid for attention.
It is especially hard to believe he truly hates whites and the U.S. since his all-whites-are-racist-styled antics are made the lie from his own upbringing. After all, he is not only half white himself but was adopted by a kindly white family when he was but an infant, to boot.
In any case, the player's stunts have brought out a legion of anti-Kaepernick fans whose initial response was to post Facebook videos showing them burning Kaepernick's jersey.
And those displays against Kaepernick have continued as the player ups the ante with his refusal to back down on his hate for the country not to mention his hate for police. He even wore socks to a recent practice that depicted police as "pigs."
A growing list of people came out to slam Kaepernick for his anti-Americanism. 49ers great Jerry Rice, for instance, warned Kaepernick not to "disrespect the flag."
All lives matter. So much going on in this world today.Can we all just get along! Colin,I respect your stance but don't disrespect the Flag.
— Jerry Rice (@JerryRice) August 30, 2016
A report written about executives inside a multitude of NFL front offices also found that team execs hate what Kaepernick is doing. "He has no respect for our country. F–k that guy,' one executive was quoted as saying.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz jumped into the fray with a tweet urging fans never to buy another product Kaepernick touts.
Here's a peaceful protest: never buy another shoe, shirt, or jersey of rich spoiled athletes who dishonor our flag. https://t.co/GrGPYX8HCh
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 12, 2016
Even supermodel Kate Upton slammed those refusing to stand for the national anthem.
In my opinion, the national anthem is a symbolic song about our country. It represents honoring the many brave men and women who sacrifice and have sacrificed their lives each and every single day to protect our freedom. Sitting or kneeling down during the national anthem is a disgrace to those people who have served and currently serve our country. Sitting down during the national anthem on September 11th is even more horrific. Protest all you want and use social media all you want. However, during the nearly two minutes when that song is playing, I believe everyone should put their hands on their heart and be proud of our country for we are all truly blessed. Recent history has shown that it is a place where anyone no matter what race or gender has the potential to become President of the United States. We live in the most special place in the world and should be thankful. After the song is over, I would encourage everyone to please use the podium they have, stand up for their beliefs, and make America a better place. The rebuilding of battery park and the freedom tower demonstrates that amazing things can be done in this country when we work together towards a common goal. It is a shame how quickly we have forgotten this as a society. Today we are more divided then ever before. I could never imagine multiple people sitting down during the national anthem on the September 11th anniversary. The lessons of 911 should teach us that if we come together, the world can be a better and more peaceful place #neverforget.
Another amusing reaction is from a store that duct-taped Kaepernick's jersey to the ground outside the front door to their shop so that customers would have to walk all over the jersey to get inside.
But as the weeks between the end of August and now have ground onward, Kaepernick has been joined in his anti-American protest by a lengthening list of NFL players.
On the other hand, some fans are also coming to the side of players disgorging their hate for the country. In the week after he first unleashed his protest, for instance, Kaepernick's jersey sales soared as social justice warriors and Black Lives Matter fans raced to stores to buy the jersey to show their support.
Further, as Reuters notes this week, the list of anti-American players now includes Miami Dolphins players Arian Foster, Jelani Jenkins, Michael Thomas, and Kenny Stills, Tennessee Titans players Jurrell Casey, Wesley Woodyard and Jason McCourty, Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters, and the whole of the Seattle Seahawks. More will likely join them as the weeks roll on.
Many fans aren't sitting still for this, though, as a growing movement to boycott the NFL takes root even as more players decided to display their hate for the very country that has made them millionaires before they are even 30 years old.
A plethora of fans have taken to Twitter to urge their boycott:
Tonight will be a silent protest against the anti-American "national" football league. Turn off the TV. #BoycottNFL

Meanwhile, the NFL has at least found some actions it doesn't like on the gridiron. Even as the league has no problem at all with player after player expressing their hatred for the U.S.A., the NFL is cracking down on those players and teams that want to show support for the country or for police.
In one example, the NFL officially banned Tennessee Titans linebacker Avery Williamson from wearing custom cleats featuring a memorial to the victims who died during the terror attacks on September 11, 2001.
And only a few weeks before that the NFL denied the request of the Dallas Cowboys to wear helmet stickers to show support for the Dallas police department after the boys in blue suffered the loss of five officers in one mass shooting in July.
Finally, it appears the anti-Americanism is spreading even to local high schools. Thus far one high school in Philadelphia and another in Texas have seen bouts of players refusing to stand as the national anthem is played. One would hope that locals have the backbone to remove the tax dollars being wasted on these sports teams.
But perhaps its all just one more brick in the road to our national suicide?

DENVER– When the typical "civility and respect" resolution hit the state Senate and the House this week – not all Republicans reveled in the peace pledge. Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman (R-Colorado Springs) refused along with six other Republican peers while Republicans in the House voted "Aye" without a whisper of protest.
Cadman openly explained why he has continuously opposed the resolution – not because he doesn't endorse civility and respect, but because it's more of a self-serving, sanctimonious promise. His remarks sparked an indignant response from Senate Majority Leader Morgan Carroll ofDenver.
"I agree with every word, every phrase, every paragraph in this resolution," declared Cadman, who added that he's opposed it over his tenure in the legislature.
"I don't agree with running a resolution on this because to me resolutions are what we send to folks when acknowledge or recognize some things," said Cadman, describing them as memorials, recognition, tributes and statements from the General Assembly to others.
"This is kind of like a letter to us from us," said Cadman of Senate Joint Resolution 004 introduced by Sen. John Kefalas and Rep. Randy Fischer, both Democrats from Fort Collins.
"I don't spend much time writing to myself," said Cadman, whose comments implied that the legislature should be more invested on representing the people of Coloradoon critical state issues.
State Senate Majority Leader Carroll said that it's tough after a contentious campaign season to come back to the legislature and be chummy with the opposing party members.
"How do you do it when you feel so beaten up over the summer and fall?" asked Carroll of Republican or Democrat committees supporting opponents.
"I realized that it has nothing to do with me," said Carroll, adding that her professional life as an attorney revolves around civility and conflict resolution.
"It has nothing to do with ego. It has nothing to do with personal character," she said. "But it has everything to do with what we need to do for the state of Colorado."
In her re-election campaign last year, Carroll said she walked precincts and constituents repeatedly thanked her for behaving in a nonpartisan and bipartisan manner in the state Senate – and implored her to continue.
"So, Minority Leader Cadman, I've been asked to do that by my constituents," said Carroll. "I've been asked to make sure we are talking to each other, to make sure that we are civil to each other, and I have made a personal commitment to do that."
"I don't believe it's a letter to ourselves – I believe it's a commitment to ourselves," declared Carroll.
State Sen. Pat Steadman (D-Denver) sounded more empathetic than Carroll – and confessed his own shortcomings in being civil and courteous.
Joint Budget Committee Chairman Steadman said that it's important to do the people's work at the Capitol, "but it's not always easy to be cordial and to be civil."
The resolution is a reminder not to be uncivil or disrespectful, said Steadman, adding "I've been guilty of that as late and for that I very much apologize."
Steadman told The Denver Post that his demeanor has changed since the death of his partner Dave Misner, who suddenly died from pancreatic cancer last summer.
Yet, Steadman has chaired the JBC meetings throughout the fall and into the winter with kindness and wit when warranted.
His breach with civility apparently was refusing to sit near former House Speaker Frank McNulty of Highlands Ranch during Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper's State of the State address last week. Instead, the Democrat Senator chose to sit next to former House Majority Leader Amy Stephens of Colorado Springs.
The issue of contention arose last May when the House leadership – at that time, McNulty, Stephens and then House Assistant Majority Leader Mark Waller – encouraged a filibuster to avoid putting the same-sex civil unions bill to a vote of the body. It's assured passage this year with Democrat majorities in the House and Senate.
Despite Steadman's confession and Cadman's explanation of his stance on the resolution for civility and respect in the legislature, Jason Salzman slammed Cadman and the six Republican Senators who voted against the resolution.
"You'd think a 'no' vote by seven Republican Senators, including Senate Minority Leader Cadman, would catch the attention of the Capitol press corps," said Salzman of the liberal blog Colorado Pols. "What's up with a no vote on a bipartisan civility resolution?"
The answer was delivered by Cadman on the Senate floor – and the audio tape is available for anyone to hear on the Colorado General Assembly's website.
The resolution passed unanimously in the House with bipartisan support, and in the Senate on a vote of 28 to 7. Voting "no" were Republican Senators Cadman, Randy Baumgardner of Cowdrey, Greg Brophy of Wray, Larry Crowder of Alamosa, Kevin Grantham of Canon City, Kent Lambert of Colorado Springsand Mark Scheffel of Parker.
Regardless of the vote, the Kumbaya is over, according to state Sen. Ellen Roberts (R-Durango), who voted for the resolution and also posted a realistic observation Thursday on her website.
"Friends from home teased about the numerous choruses of bipartisanship echoing from the Capitol and asked how long that might last," said Roberts. "I'm guessing the singing of Kumbaya is about over as we move to the substance of why we're here – that is to make state-level policy for Colorado."

When I was a little kid, I was the one who was always toting around a billion books in my wake. It didn't matter if it was fiction or non-fiction, big or small – if it was a book, I'd read it. So, it came as no surprise that when I grew up, I decided that I wanted to get a job in publishing.
That's easier said than done.
Without going into too much detail – I really had to work for it. I knew right off the bat that I was going to be a few steps behind people living in big cities like New York or Chicago where publishing internships were a dime a dozen. That meant I had to work ten times harder to make an impression on the publishing powers-that-be. It also meant that I had to do my research.
From the moment I decided to set my career goals – the top of which, was to get a job in publishing – I did nothing but memorize the lingo and immerse myself in the world of books, both digital and print. Living in the Midwest, I knew it was next to impossible to find a publishing gig comparable to what you'd find in a bigger city so my first goal was just to get my foot in the literacy door. So I did.
My first internship was actually a marketing position but it was for a local literacy council. That was good enough for me and it proved to be a great fit. Not only did I learn to interact with local authors and built up my professionalism, but it was my experience at my first internship that landed me an internship at a local small-scale publishing company. From there, I continued to gain experience in the publishing world and by the time I graduated, I had officially had four internships under my belt. And it felt good.
During my entire collage career the Market Books were my friends. I would continually use them to check out leads and use them as the freelancing source that they were meant to be. In all actuality, they were the first books I usually picked up in the morning and the last ones I put down before I went to bed. (I practically breathed them in!) So you can only imagine my delight when I was called to interview for F+W, a Content + eCommerce Company – the publisher of the very books that taught me everything I needed to know about publishing!
After weeks of interviews and an epic editorial test (that may or may not have intimidated me to death), I was officially hired on as an associate editor. To say I was overjoyed would be an understatement, but to say I was terrified would be dead-on. After so many years of planning, I had finally come to achieve my goal and I was scared to death that I would somehow mess it all up.
On my first day of work, my mother gave me this card by DCI Studios that pretty much summed up my emotional turmoil at the time. It was so perfect, in fact, that it's been chilling out on my fridge door for the past two years as a reminder of the effort and constant self-doubt that it takes to overcome and achieve any goal. For the most part, I had forgotten about the card since its presence has essentially become over-looked every time I enter the kitchen. But last week, as I was prepping to write up a blog post for AMO, I grabbed the 2006 Artist's & Graphic Designer's Market book from off the shelf for a little inspiration…
Lo and behold, what did I find as I flipped through the pages? An exact copy of the very card my mother gave me on my first day of work here! It may seem like a little thing or just a happy coincidence but, to me, it was a wonderful reminder of what it feels like to accomplish a goal. I've been so blessed on my career journey and I have so many people to thank for all of my wonderful experiences. It's my hope that I never forget the terror and excitement that goes hand-in-hand with achieving a much sought after goal.
And let me be the first to say – it's worth it!

Compassionate Communication - based on nonviolent communication, created by Marshall Rosenberg, PhD.
Non Violent Communication (NVC), is a language and consciousness of compassion that can dramatically improve our relationships, both personal and professional. NVC focuses our attention on what is "alive" in this moment; what you are feeling and the needs behind it, and what the other person is feeling and his/her needs; rather than focusing on judgement; who is right and who is wrong.
NVC leads us to a deep connection between people that flows from honestly and vulnerably expressing our own feelings and needs, and empathically listening to the other person's feelings and needs. Many people find it useful to learn NVC through training and/or a study group. Individuals who have taken a Level 1 or 2 course find it helpful to continue to practice and develop their NVC skills through ongoing practice groups.
"NVC has transformed my life – and I am thrilled to be co-creating a
community with all of the NVCers (A.K.A. "groovy giraffes") in Salida, Villa Groovy and beyond!"

- We blog about it.
- We grog about it.
- We snog about it.
The other two automatic actions are totally natural of course, so no explanation needed there. Like yesterday, my mate told me that my bank had just deposited 28 million bucks into my bank account. So, true to autopilot mode, I withdrew all the money, added rum and water, and grogged it. After that that, I looked for the nearest rabbit and shoved my tongue down its throat. So yeah, it's good to know that we can do things all the time without having to think much and... what? Oh, Jessica Alba wants to have my baby? Excuse me then. Hey, Thumper? C'mere. Yeah, good Thumper. Hey on the way can you grab my laptop? And the blender? That's a good furface.

Portable oxygen Concentrator Prices
Posted on 17th , May 2012
With so many brands and models of portable oxygen concentrators (POC) available in the market, it is quite hard to determine which concentrator is best for you. Before you purchase POC, you need to determine your oxygen requirement and the manner in which you need to inhale oxygen. If the oxygen is to be delivered in puffs then you need to buy a POC which delivers oxygen in Pulse mode. If you need a continuous supply of oxygen then you need to buy a POC which can deliver oxygen in continuous mode. There are also some POCs which can deliver oxygen both in both Pulse and Continuous modes like Invacare SOLO2 Transportable Concentrator
Cascade Healthcare Solutions is an authorized supplier of portable oxygen concentrators in US. We offer a huge range of oxygen concentrators at a competitive price.

When~The Eagles~stopped to catch their breath a few decades ago, having sold over 100 million records, collected six Grammy's, and enjoyed six #1 albums,~Hotel California~began a pioneering journey through their history-making~ music that has taken them around the globe and thrilled hundreds of thousands of Eagles fans. It's been a journey they could never have imagined back in 1986, but their dedication, unique musical gifts, and an obsessive commitment to doing this legendary music true justice in performance, set them apart from the many Eagles bands that came after them. Hotel California toured relentlessly from the 80's straight through to today, setting the standard for world-class tribute productions as they went, and sharing stages with the likes of The Doobie Bros., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gretchen Wilson, REO Speedwagon, and many more.~ From Japan to Dubai, Toronto to Texas, Hotel California has boldly taken the tribute band where none had gone before them, and changed an industry's collective mind about how good a "tribute"~band could really be.

Many are extraordinary patrons of art, education, politics and many other worthwhile causes and institutions.

Today, I visited Garufa, an Argentinian café that has sprung up in Highbury since I've been away. It actually opened around two years ago and is brought to us by the same people that launched the very successful Buen Ayre in Hackney. It was oddly exciting to discover it, sitting directly opposite the house where […]continue

I'm over the idea of getting thrills from Bogotá because it feels daring and dangerous to go there. Bogotá is exciting in its own way.

Just over 10 years ago (cripes), I went to Miami for the first time. Much of it went over my head. I didn't speak a word of Spanish. My knowledge of Latin food went no further than tacos and tortillas. I ended up – and I promise this really wasn't my choice – eating in […]continue

Tuesday, June 10, 2014 | 11:37 a.m.
WASHINGTON — In anticipation of a damning report expected to be released today on Veterans Affairs management in Nevada, Sen. Dean Heller called for the resignation of the head of the agency in Reno.
"Enough is enough," the Republican senator from Nevada said in a press release.
Heller said Ed Russell, the head of the Reno VA Regional Office, should step down after an official VA Inspector General report expected to be released Tuesday found the office is suffering from "poor management."
"The Reno [VA office] has consistently topped the charts as one of the worst-performing regional offices in the nation," Heller said.
The Reno VA office handles all of Nevada's disability claims, and veterans often wait more than a year to have their claims processed. Nevada's congressional delegation has been pushing for changes to the office for at least a year.
Heller has worked specifically on legislation to reduce claims backlogs in regional VA offices such as Reno's. He's trying to include the bill in legislation circulating in the Senate aimed at reducing overall mismanagement within the VA health care system, but last week a Senate hearing on his legislation was cancelled.
Heller has also expressed frustration with Southern Nevada's VA system, saying in an interview Tuesday that "this has gone beyond growing pains."
He spoke with Southern Nevada's VA chief, Isabel Duff, on Monday about whether the Las Vegas region's VA system also has systemic management problems.

Synaptol is advertised as a homeopathic remedy recommended for modulating symptoms associated with attention deficit problems (ADD/ADHD) in children as well as adults. It is manufactured by HelloLife.
HelloLife is a US producer of herbal alternatives and homeopathic solutions. They manufacture drugs and remedies in very modern facilities which operate under Good Manufacturing Practices Standards. Their products can be found on the Internet, at retailer locations and healthcare practitioners.
According to the manufacturer, Synaptol is a homeopathic medicine that aims to alleviate ADD/ADHD symptoms like difficulty concentrating, memory problems, lack of attention, and impulsiveness. HelloLife promotes the formula as being safer than synthetic drugs usually prescribed for ADD/ADHD problems however it does not cure your disease, since ADD/ADHD is not a curable condition. While Synaptol is an effective drug, according to the producer, you also have to improve your lifestyle in order to keep in control your symptoms. Thus, you should eat healthy food, get sufficient sleep and practice sports. The formula is addressed to children more than two years old and to adults.
We note that there used to be another producer who sold an ADD/ADHD medicine under the same name as HelloLife, but it stopped production for reasons which were not disclosed.
Synaptol Ingredients
Synaptol includes the following ingredients: Apis mellifica, Aconitum ferox, Adrenalinum, Aesculus hippocastanum flos, Argentum nitricum, Avena sativa, Baptisia tinctoria, Cochlearia armoracia, Phosphorus, Scleranthus annuus, Scutellaria lateriflora, Sumbul, Viola odorata, citric acid, potassium sorbate, and purified ionized mineral water.
Product Features
All the active ingredients in Synaptol are listed in the US Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia. The formula is not however a cure for ADD/ADHD because these disorders are not actually technically curable. One core ingredient is apis mellifica. According to the manufacturer apis mellifica is useful for concentration problems, difficulties when studying, memory problems, if you suffer from restlessness and when you can't get yourself organized.
Apis mellifica is obtained from honey bees. It was developed in the nineteenth century by a homeopathic specialist. According to its main ailment claims based on anecdotal use, it is useful in treating insect and snake bites as well as headaches and painful urination. Homeopaths believe that remedies should be customized based on the patient's physical and mental characteristics. Therefore, if an individual is short tempered and impatient, apis mellifica may be useful, especially if the above mentioned symptoms are in relation to feelings of pain, swelling and inflammations. Nonetheless, there is not enough clinical research to back up the mixture's effectiveness or to assess its safety.
The daily intake recommended by the producer is 1ml twice per day if the patient weighs more than 50 lbs and 0.5 ml twice per day if they weigh 30-50 lbs. The manufacturer advises that you should take one dose in the morning and the second one in the evening. You can take the dose either with 8-12 oz of purified water or without. You should expect to see optimum results in 3-6 months, although many patients started to feel betters only a few hours after the administration of the first done. The product is not recommended for children less than two years of age, In addition, medical advice is required if you are pregnant or lactating. You should not administer the formula to children before having discussed with your doctor.
Continue Your Brain Product Research: See Our Featured Product.
- It has many online consumer reviews
- The producer offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee
- It does not contain stimulants
- It does not have side effects often seen with other ADD/ADHD medication
- Shipping charges are affordable, especially if you choose the saver shipping option when ordering from the producer
- The average price for one month's supply would be $30 if you buy just a bottle and $24-$27 if you buy more, which would recommend it as a relatively expensive product
- Unlike many of its market peers, it is not labeled for mild depression
- Homeopathy is still a controversial topic
The main ailment claims of Synaptol are that it can support the alleviation of many symptoms associated with attention deficit problems without the side effects common to traditional drugs on the market. Based on the numerous online customer testimonials, clients have mixed opinions. You should know that homeopathy remains a controversial topic among specialists. In addition, the FDA does not evaluate the safety and effectiveness of homeopathic drugs such as Synaptol. We recommend you to discuss with your doctor before using Synaptol so that you find out whether it may interact with other medication you may be taking for your medical condition(s).
