Budweiser might have fallen from the top slot as America's favorite beer, but the company is right up there as far as commitment to renewables is concerned. The beer manufacturer has announced that it will switch all of its US beer brewing to renewable electricity and is even launching a new label this spring that indicates that Bud is brewed with 100% renewables.
The move is line with parent company and world's largest beer manufacturer AB InBev's announcement last March to shift from fossil fuels by 2025 by obtaining all of its purchased electricity for brewing from renewables.
Forty-one million Budweisers are sold on average every day around the world. The switch to renewable electricity in Budweiser brewing operations will be the equivalent of taking 48,000 cars off the road every year, the company said.

Come, stay, play at the Kalamazoo dog show
Pet dogs, canine portraits, try your hand at showing Nov. 7-10
KALAMAZOO, MICH. – Thinking about getting a dog? A portrait of your canine BFF? Looking to entertain the kids?
Head to the West Michigan Harvest Cluster Dog Show Nov. 7 through 10 at the Kalamazoo County Expo Center – and you can do all of this and more! Admission to the show is free; parking is $5 per car. The show runs 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 7 and 8, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 9 and 10.
"We'll have about 1,000 exhibitors and 3,700 dogs from all over the U.S. — plus Canada and South America — and this show averages about 1,100 to 1,200 hotel room nights over four days," said Kevin Nieboer, chairman of the West Michigan Harvest Cluster Dog Show. "There isn't going to be a square inch of the expo center that isn't filled with dogs."
If you're only going to come to one day of the show, Nieboer said make it Saturday. This year, people can "meet the breed" from noon to 1 p.m. Saturday. Bring the kids and pet about 35 different types of dogs – from big to small – and ask breeders questions. If you're in the market for a dog, Nieboer said this is a great place to learn which dog breed would best fit your lifestyle.
Also from noon to 1 p.m. Saturday, both adults and kids can try their hand at showing dogs, as American Kennel Club (AKC) handlers will offer free one-on-one instruction. According to Nieboer, it's a great way to learn tips from the pros and see if you have an interest or aptitude to show dogs.
Also new this year, a Grand Rapids ArtPrize contestant, Michele Anscombe, will display her 20-by-5-foot acrylic painting featuring more than 150 life-size AKC dogs. Each day, people can ask Anscombe questions about her large-scale art and hand her their favorite dog photo to take home and paint for a fee.
Additionally, every day of the show, there will be an owner/handler competition for nonprofessionals. And attendees are welcome to hang out in the grooming area and watch dogs as they're prepped for showing. People can also venture on a dog show tour and see what happens behind the scenes, and visit vendors, who will sell items such as doggie treats, supplies and more.

This has been a year of weird and bad weather. Huge snowstorms in the winter. Lack of sea ice in the arctic. Tornadoes wreaking havoc all over the US. Rain in California in June (the biggest June storm in California since 1967). Has it anything to do with global warming?
Perhaps. One climate scientist (referring to the recent California rain) has in fact called global warming "global weirding." In other words, not just hot weather, but strange weather. And another climate scientist also explicitly made the link from recent weather to climate change back in December, likening the current phenomenon to "leaving the refrigerator door ajar," i.e. cold air flows out (south), warm air flows in (from the upper atmosphere, following atmospheric circulation cells). So what exactly is going on?
The above map from NASA depicts this year's "negative arctic oscillation" an atmospheric event where high pressure forms in the arctic, warming the arctic and pushing cold air into the mid-latitudes. Dark blue is 18 degrees C colder than normal and dark red is 18C warmer than normal (a 32.4F equivalent).
All that warm air near the pole melts sea ice and permafrost and all that cold air over the US causes huge snowstorms and rainstorms and tornadoes. Cold air rushes out, warm air rushes in: someone left the fridge open.
Ethical implications? Heating the arctic by 18 degrees C is craziness. The effects on sea ice (melting and losing reflectivity) and permafrost (warming, rotting, and releasing methane, a strong greenhouse gas) will cause positive feedback for additional warming, risking runaway greenhouse effect. And the interface of cold northern air and warm southern air over the US causes disastrous weather too.
Global warming is not just about everything getter warmer. It's about an atmosphere which is more energetic overall. More rain, more floods, more heat, more droughts, more wind, more weather disasters. Bad stuff. The time to try to stop climate change is now. The longer we wait the worse the problems will get.

Ethical travel – is it possible?
Ethical travel and holidays – is there such a thing? For many years I've been wanting to try and lessen my environmental and wildlife impact, while wanting to see and experience our world and different cultures. Can I do this and minimise my impact at all? Is it possible to have an eco-friendly holiday? I've got a few tips and things to consider that will help you plan your next break.
What matters to you
This depends on your personal ethics, and what's important to you. Reducing your carbon footprint, being eco-friendly, supporting fair trade or stopping exploitation of animals are all part of it, and you can find a way to travel with an ethical mindset. If you need to travel for work, you can ask what your employer is doing to help too.
Where to travel
My first consideration when planning some time away is, can we go somewhere local? Where I live in the north east of England, we are incredibly blessed with stunning national parks nearby, beautiful coastline, and close proximity to the Lake District and the beauty of Scotland, not to mention the rest of the UK – we really are very lucky with our landscape, history, monuments, and wildlife.
Twice a year my boyfriend and I take a stargazing camping break in Kielder Forest. Little over an hour from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, it's a beautiful place now frequented by red kites, red squirrels and other wild animals. It's easy to walk around and has lovely trails including a nice short hike up to the incredible Kielder Observatory, with public artworks along the way. It just shows that you can have a lovely, relaxing break close to home.
If you want to visit somewhere further afield you may be considering the impact of driving or flying so far. It may be possible for you to drive from UK to Germany, but that's not an option if you want to see relatives in Australia! Which brings me onto…
Method of transport
This is probably the first, and possibly only, thing that people associate with ethical travel. In the UK, 23% of our emissions are due to transport (with energy supply being the biggest emissions). Jet airliners are now more efficient than their older models, but air travel still accounts for up to 9% of global emissions. If you need to fly, look at the environmental policies of the airlines, ethical travel reviews, and you can also look at options like carbon offset (detailed later in this article). Try to minimise the number of flights (direct flights for example), fly during the day (it is believed that flights taken at night have a greater impact), and pack light.
With a hybrid vehicle we are now also able to drive to France and the continent (from the UK) without as many emissions as a regular car, so it's worth totalling up your estimated emissions (it doesn't take long) and deciding what's the best method for you. Trains are now an easy option from the UK into Europe, however it's worth bearing in mind that long train journeys may ramp up those emissions if they're old, polluting diesel models.
Use your feet! If you're able, you can cover a lot of ground on holiday by simply using foot power/bikes etc (rollerblades anyone?) instead of hiring a car. For example, cities like San Francisco and Prague are much better experienced by walking around; and San Francisco in fact is highly prohibitive to cars with massively expensive parking, a deliberate local government measure to limit pollution. If you're out in the countryside, hiking or climbing is a fantastic way to travel – plus you get a bit of exercise and fresh air.
If you really fancy a challenge, one of our locals Mark Allinson – known as Run Geordie Run – is treading his way through the whole of Europe right now as part of his epic 20,000 miles around the world, and all for charity. Now that's a trip to remember!
Get on your bike. Countries like Holland and Belgium are well known for great cycle paths and a nationwide love of cycling, which means you can easily have a pedal-powered break and see the sights the ethical travel way. Maybe don't try that on San Francisco's hills though, unless you have thighs of steel!
What to pack
Every extra kg in a car, train and airliner uses extra fuel. Travel light and you'll have less to pack away again (yay!) and make it easier for yourself to drag around. You don't need that 4th pair of shoes! I've found that I pack a lot less these days, knowing that I likely won't wear it anyway.
When it comes to clothing, not buying new clothes for a trip (do you really need another bikini?) obviously makes a difference. If you really need something, try recycling old clothes or possibly a charity shop bargain find. Eco-friendly brands like Thought (formerly Braintree Clothing) use bamboo (an eco fibre you'll love – easy to wash, dry and pack!) while reducing the impact of high street clothing. Fairtrade, FSC certified and sustainable Ethletic makes the perfect footwear too.
Skincare and biodegradable products
If you'll be ocean/lake/reef swimming or diving, it's worth considering that many sunscreens aren't biodegradable, and can pose a risk to marine life. Take care of your skin in the sun with eco-friendly sunscreens. Reduce your waste and don't take extra plastic bottles, especially if you're going to a country that doesn't recycle as much. Keep an eye out for eco-friendly cleaning and dish washing products if you're self catering, or take a little bottle of your own to be sure your cleaning doesn't end up impacting rivers and marine life.
Be water conscious
Ditch the wasteful single-use water bottles and take a reusable one with you. We have handy filter bottles from Brita and Bobble, and hardy reusables from Glugg or Loooqs.
If you'll be travelling somewhere that you're advised not to drink the water, or somewhere potentially dangerous, there are great solutions out there like the Lifesaver travel bottle that can filter all the nasties out. All of these allow you to drink without the impact of buying bottles of imported mineral water.
Eat and support local
Instead of eating food imported from the other side of the world while you're away, try local! You'll experience authentic recipes and often great food at the source. You can also support local craftspeople and seek out environmentally-friendly products if you want gifts to bring home – another facet of ethical travel that can benefit others. Tourist shops and resorts are often packed with mass produced trinkets and cheap gifts produced at the other side of the globe. Go off the beaten path and you can find local fabrics, jewellery, crafts or art!
Carbon offset
Carbon offset is the purchase of 'credits' which offset the impact of your activity, by planting trees or investing in environmentally positive projects or renewable energy. There are critics of carbon offset schemes, claiming it doesn't reduce people's usage and simply removes their 'guilt'. However, many airlines and booking agents allow you to add on a carbon offset charge which calculates the emissions of the journey. At Ethical Superstore we actually allow you to carbon offset the delivery of your orders too, with Trees for Life who plant trees in the Caledonian forest in the UK.
Animal/wildlife friendly
You can make your travel a positive thing in other ways, by supporting Fairtrade companies that help local workers and support their communities, and also by making wildlife friendly choices. Check out Move the World (formerly WSPA) campaign for ending performance. Many animal 'experiences' like riding an elephant or posing with a tiger cub hides years of cruelty inflicted behind the scenes – let these companies know what you think, and help to end it by voting with your wallet and refusing to support it. Also, whether you agree with zoos here or not, be aware that welfare standards of those abroad can be shockingly low – is your money supporting this? Very recently the famous Tiger Temple in Thailand was raided by authorities and the animals confiscated, due to illegal trafficking and animal abuse. You can find (and even volunteer with) amazing welfare charities like Animals Asia who are making huge changes in Vietnam and China ending the cruel bear bile industry, and many fantastic animal charities doing great work.
As well as considering these things when I travel, I've recently decided to find local charities to make a donation to. Whether it's something close to your heart (local animal rescue?) or a pressing issue in a particular country (Disasters Emergency Committee), you can always find somewhere deserving of money, time or product donations.
What are your ethical travel tips? Have you considered ethical or environmentally friendly travel before, or found it an issue?

Charlotte & Eddy's wedding at Standedge Tunnel was an awesome, relaxed day with good food, plenty of booze and good times. Charlotte got ready with her bridesmaids and family at the hidden gem that is Tyas Cottage, close to Standedge. You would never know this amazing little place is here, hidden down it's overgrown, long forgotten lane. Arriving into an oasis of a garden with grape vines scrambling over the cottage it's an idyllic little spot. Eddy, meanwhile got ready at home before jumping on the train to Marsden with his groomsmen to hit the ale trail. The Marsden Shuttle canal boat ferried people up and down the canal before making a final trip with Charlotte and her girls down the serene, fern lined waters. Yeah, you could walk faster, but the boat is much more fun!!
Guests enjoyed ice cream on arrival (because who doesn't love the fun of an impromptu ice cream!) before heading into the newly refurbished top floor attic for the ceremony. With I-do's exchanged, it's back to more celebratory ice cream and prosecco too! We kept group photos casual, making sure everyone could go back to enjoying the sun and ice cream whilst Charlotte and Eddy took a quick stroll down the canal for a few photos together. It's always nice to have a breather at this point, and actually take a moment to say hello to each other; chatting about each other's mornings and giggling over all the flubbed lines!
Speeches and a nice relaxed meal of an enormous range of bbq foods (seriously, there was everything from pulled pork tacos to hot dogs to burgers to shawarma kebabs!). We love informal weddings where everyone gets to dig in, enjoy the sun when they want to, the booze is free flowing and everyone gets to enjoy themselves. And they did… into the evening as the sun set behind the hills and we grabbed a few more quick photos of the happy couple in the golden sunlight.
They were led into their first dance by the AMAZING Kickstarts who played an ace mix of 90s and 00s stuff with huge energy and were genuinely one of the best bands we've ever seen! Such a great day and we can't thank these smiling happy people enough for inviting us to be a part of it all.

Silverlight Claim-Based-Security Part-2
Posted by zamd on March 23, 2011
In part 1 I talked about a simple approach to combine WCF Routing service and claims-based security and I got some questions about the sample code and routing service configuration. In this post, I'll explain some additional scenarios and would provide link to the source code. In my original post I used following very simple routing configuration where the RST (Request Security Token) message goes to the STS and everything else goes to the UserService (a business service)
- <routing>
- <filterTables>
- <filterTable name="SLRouting">
- <add endpointName="stsEndpoint" filterName="matchRST" priority="5"/>
- <add endpointName="serviceEndpoint" filterName="allMessages" priority="1"/>
- </filterTable>
- </filterTables>
- <filters>
- <filter filterType="Action" filterData="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-trust/200512/RST/Issue" name="matchRST"/>
- <filter filterType="MatchAll" name="allMessages"/>
- </filters>
- </routing>
The STS endpoint uses an action filter (line 4) which looks for a WS-Trust RST message and forwards it to the STS. If RST filter doesn't match, then the routing engine goes and tries the second filter (line 5) which is a match all. So in my simple configuration all non-RST messages are simply sent to the second endpoint. Real world scenarios obviously would require more granular routing but it can easily be enabled using the same pattern. WCF routing configuration is quite powerful and supports composite (AND, OR etc) and custom filters using which you can model any routing logic as you per your needs.
Another interesting scenarios is to support multiple authentication schemes on the STS – windows authentication for the intranet while userName password for the internet.
To enables this I have exposed the STS functionality using two different endpoints supporting both username/password based authentication as well as windows authentication.
Because windows authentication is point-point so I relied on impersonation to flow the end-user identity to the STS via the Router. The windows authentication flow looks like this:
For the windows-integrated endpoint, router is configured to impersonate the client and the outgoing messages is sent under this impersonated context which enables the STS to authenticate the original user using windows authentication.
<serviceAuthorization impersonateCallerForAllOperations="true"/>
When deploying in IIS, both the router endpoint and the STS endpoint needs to be configured for windows-authentication and I have accomplished it by creating a sub-folder (windowsintegrated) under both virtual directories and configuring this for windows-authentication. The main/parent virtual directories still has anonymous access enabled for the userName authentication to work. Note with userName authentication, the credentials goes inside the SOAP message. My VS setup look like this:
The web.config(s) under the 'windowsintegrated' folder overrides the settings to enable windows-authentication. For example, in the STS project the root web.config defines both service endpoints along with a default binding which is configured for UserName authentication over HTTP.
- <system.serviceModel>
- <serviceHostingEnvironment>
- <serviceActivations>
- <add relativeAddress="~/issue.svc" service="CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration"
- factory="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.WSTrust.WSTrustServiceHostFactory"/>
- <add relativeAddress="~/windowsintegrated/issue.svc" service="CustomSecurityTokenServiceConfiguration"
- factory="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.WSTrust.WSTrustServiceHostFactory"/>
- </serviceActivations>
- </serviceHostingEnvironment>
- <services>
- <service name="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.WSTrust.WSTrustServiceContract">
- <endpoint address="IWSTrust13"
- binding="customBinding"
- contract="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.WSTrust.IWSTrust13SyncContract"/>
- </service>
- </services>
- <bindings>
- <customBinding>
- <binding>
- <security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport" allowInsecureTransport="true"/>
- <httpTransport/>
- </binding>
- </customBinding>
- </bindings>
- </system.serviceModel>
The web.config in the 'windowsintegrated' changes the default binding to enable windows authentication. I'm using the 'Simplified WCF Configuration' here so the final config is very clean as a result.
- <system.serviceModel>
- <services/>
- <bindings>
- <customBinding>
- <binding>
- <httpTransport authenticationScheme="Negotiate"/>
- </binding>
- </customBinding>
- </bindings>
- </system.serviceModel>
Similar technique is used on the WebSite/Router where I pick different STS endpoint/binding depending on the chosen router endpoint. The root web.config goes to the anonymous STS endpoint (line 2 & 3) and authentication is done using the message credentials (userName).
- <client>
- <endpoint name="stsEndpoint" address="http://localhost/ActiveSTS/issue.svc/IWSTrust13"
- binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="outBinding" contract="*">
- </endpoint>
- <endpoint name="serviceEndpoint" address="http://localhost/UserService/Service1.svc"
- binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="outBinding" contract="*">
- </endpoint>
- </client>
Web.config in the 'windowsintegrated' changes the default STS endpoint/binding to match the windows authentication requirements and also enables impersonation to flow windows identity to the STS.
- <system.serviceModel>
- <services/>
- <client>
- <remove name="stsEndpoint"/>
- <endpoint name="stsEndpoint" address="http://localhost/ActiveSTS/windowsintegrated/issue.svc/IWSTrust13"
- binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="outBinding" contract="*"/>
- </client>
- <bindings>
- <customBinding>
- <binding name="inBinding">
- <httpsTransport authenticationScheme="Negotiate"/>
- </binding>
- <binding name="outBinding">
- <httpTransport authenticationScheme="Negotiate"/>
- </binding>
- </customBinding>
- </bindings>
- <behaviors>
- <serviceBehaviors>
- <behavior>

Archaia Studios Press Expands
Fort Lee, NJ — July 18, 2005 — As previewed at this year's Comic-Con International, Archaia Studios Press (ASP) has announced an expansion to its offerings that will complement its award-winning title, Artesia. ASP will publish work by both up-and-coming and established creators in the world of comics. Included in the lineup are: Christopher Moeller, Peter Bergting, Alex Sheikman, A. David Lewis and Marvin Perry Mann. Titles will include: Robotika, The Lone and Level Sands, Iron Empires: Blood und Iron, plus several to-be-named-later titles.
"Well, I never wanted to be just a publisher of Artesia," said ASP founder Mark Smylie, "though my heart still belongs first and foremost to writing and drawing that book, and I'm eager to get back to it. But my business partner, Aki Liao, and I have been looking for some creators that could bring something special to ASP. These artists and writers all have what we've been looking for and we're excited to begin publishing their work."
The Lone and Level Sands (December 2005, ISBN: 1-932386-12-2, $17.95, 160 pages, full color, digest-sized) and Robotika (December 2005, 4-issue series, $3.95, 32-page comic book, full color, mature readers) are the first two books to be released under the ASP banner beginning at the end of this year.
The Lone and Level Sands, written by A. David Lewis (Mortal Coils) and illustrated by Marvin Perry Mann (Arcana Jayne), draws on the Bible, the Qur'an, and historical sources to present a retelling of the Book of Exodus through the eyes of the man who is either its greatest leader or its worst villain: a man trying to rule wisely, love his family well, and deal justly in the face of a divine wrath. It was originally released to critical acclaim in a black-and-white edition through Caption Box; Tom McLean of Variety said of the original edition: "Those who are intimately familiar with the Bible and those who aren't will both find something to like in this book." ASP's new edition will be in full color, with coloring by Jennifer Rodgers.
Robotika, with story and art by Alex Sheikman (Moonstruck), is a steampunk sushi samurai western about loyalty, honor and revenge. In a world populated by silent samurai, fast-talking geisha, deadly mecha-betsushikime, digital djihits, morphing butterflies, and corporate corruption, Niko, a member of the elite bodyguard corps dedicated to protecting the queen, is sent on a mission to recover a stolen invention that in the wrong hands could trigger a bloody civil war. The ever-present violence and chaos that exist on the fringes of this "civilized" society couldn't care less about Niko and his mission. The first issue will feature a cover by Ryan Sook (Arkham Asylum, Hawkman).
ASP also announced a new Iron Empires mini-series called Blood und Iron on the schedule for 2006; Christopher Moeller (JLA: A League of One) returns to his science fiction universe to write the new story, with art by Peter Bergting (Hellboy Sourcebook). Early 2006 will also see the fourth Artesia mini-series, Artesia Besieged.
Also at the show was a special showing of writer/director Hidetoshi Oneda's award-winning short film, "La Belle Dame Sans Merci". Oneda and his company celophaine, inc. are tapped to turn Artesia into a feature film and this short gave a taste of what we can expect. For more on the short film, visit http://www.celophaine.com/lbdsm/lbdsm_top.html.
Mark Smylie founded Archaia Studios Press (ASP) in 2002 as the home for his epic fantasy comic book, Artesia. Artesia ($24.95, ISBN: 1-932386-00-9), winner of ForeWord Magazine's Best Graphic Novel of 2003, and its sequels — Artesia Afield ($24.95, ISBN: 1-932386-02-5) and Artesia Afire ($24.95, ISBN: 1-932386-08-4), winner of the Silver in ForeWord's Best Graphic Novel of 2004 — are available at finer bookstores and comic book shops everywhere. A roleplaying game called Artesia: Adventures in The Known World (fall 2005, ISBN: 1-932386-10-6, $34.95, full-color) will be out soon. The next installment in the Artesia series, Artesia Besieged, is slated for a spring 2006 release. More information can be found at http://www.aspcomics.com.

Unai Emery is already deep into the Arsenal rebuild after the Gunners replaced Arsene Wenger with the Spaniard this summer.
The former Paris Saint-Germain boss beat off competition from Mikel Arteta and Patrick Vieria to land the job with talks already underway on how best he can transform a squad that was incapable of making the top four last term.
Emery will work closely with Sven Mislintat to ensure Arsenal can bounce back from two disappointing finishes in fifth and sixth over the past two seasons.
The ambition will be to return Arsenal to the top table of European football, with the fans surely willing to settle for a top four finish - something that once left fans underwhelmed. The transfer budget of £70 million, plus additional income from player sales, leaves Emery with it all to do.
A large part of his success will depend on how much more he can bring out of the current group of players he already has at his disposal at the Emirates.
But does Emery have the players within his squad that are suited to his preferred 4-2-3-1 system that served him so well in Spain with Valencia and Sevilla? Football.London take a look at all the possibilities:
Emery likes his teams to build from the back and that often starts with the goalkeeper.
Arsenal have some big decisions to make when it comes to the goalkeeper situation at the Emirates this summer. Petr Cech has just taken the No.1 shirt but, at the age of 36, he is clearly now past his best.
Cech made more errors that led to goals than any other keeper in the Premier League last season and he is also pretty uncomfortable with the ball at his feet.
There is a strong argument that David Ospina is the better of the current senior keepers at Arsenal, but the Columbia international is likely to leave this summer in a bid to get regular first-team football.
So it could be that Arsenal have to bring in a new keeper to get themselves playing in the way Emery wants.
The defence
Again, this is an area where Arsenal look certain to dip into the transfer market, with deals already close to being done
Emery usually puts a lot of emphasis on his full-backs to attack and in Hector Bellerin he has the perfect right-back to do that, he is also a player you would expect to flourish under the new head coach.
Bellerin's progress flatlined under in the past two seasons, but he has immense potential and is a player who should improve drastically with some expect coaching.
On the opposite side of the defence, Emery has Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac to work with - two more than capable defenders who will provide him with plenty of options.
But it's at centre-back where there is work to be done, especially with Laurent Koscielny sidelined until December at the earliest.
Ivan Gazidis has stated that a big part of Emery's remit will be to work with and improve the young players at the club and Arsenal have plenty of up and coming central defenders with ability.
Calum Chambers, Rob Holding and Konstantinos Mavrapanos all have huge potential and you would hope under Emery they could go on to be major players.
But the lack of experience right now is worrying, with Skhodran Mustafi yet to show any real sign of being a player you can trust to lead the defence. This could even be the summer that Arsenal cut their losses on the German international.
So while there is potential for Emery and his coaching staff to work with at the back, you would expect to see at least one senior star to be brought in before the start of next season - with Borussia Dortmund's Sokratis looking a certainty to arrive.
Freiburg's young defender Caglar Soyuncu is also on the agenda while experienced right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner is close to agreeing a free transfer after leaving Juventus.
The midfield
Emery's 4-2-3-1 formation revolves around having two holding midfielders sitting in front of the defence, allowing the front four the freedom they need to express themselves going forward.
But it's been clear at Arsenal for some time now they don't have the players in the squad who can perform that role at the very top level
Granit Xhaka has been used as the defensive midfielder in the past two seasons but has struggled to really deal with the demands of the Premier League.
He had a good end to the season, but it feels like he would be far more suited to playing in the two with an out and out defensive midfielder alongside him. That would allow him to concentrate on what he is good at, splitting lines with his fine passing ability and setting Arsenal off on attacks.
But if that were to happen, then it begs the question as to where Aaron Ramsey would play, as the Wales international has been the player operating in that more advanced midfield role for the past few seasons.
Obviously Ramsey's contract situation could see him leave the club this summer, but the whispers coming out of Arsenal suggest Emery sees the Wales international as a player he wants to build a side around.
So again, you feel that Arsenal need to bring in one out and out defensive midfielder for Emery to really be able to get the team playing the way he wants them. The question would then be, where does that leave Xhaka or Jack Wilshere, should he sign a new deal?
The frontline
This is where things could get interesting. Emery's side have been built around width from the flanks in attacking areas, but that is something Arsenal are far from blessed with.
Theo Walcott was able to offer that from the right, but he is now at Everton - and Arsenal have tended to have either Mesut Ozil or Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the flanks since the end of January, neither are players who bring any natural width to the team.
Alex Iwobi is another option, as is Danny Welbeck, but again both of them would prefer to cut inside into a more central area. Welbeck could be set for an exit anyway, if he doesn't agree a new deal.
Lucas Perez is a possible wildcard and is comfortable drifting out wide on his left foot, but his future is far from clear having spent last season on loan at Deportivo.
Looking ahead to the new campaign under Emery, you feel Ozil will certainly be deployed in the No.10 role behind the central striker and Mkhitaryan will probably line up on the right.
But if Emery really wants to get the team playing the way he wants, then a wide attacker needs to be brought in to play on the left hand side.
The central striker
With Emery tending to play with just one striker, you feel the signs are fairly ominous for Alexandre Lacazette.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could move to the left to accommodate Lacazette, as we saw towards the end of last season at times, but Arsenal didn't shell out a club record fee on the Gabon international in January to play him on the wing.
So you feel Aubameyang will certainly start the season as the central striker, with Lacazette having to make do with a place on the bench.
The outcome
It's tough not to look at the options available to Emery and not come to the conclusion that the current make-up of the Arsenal squad is not suited to the way the Spaniard wants to play.
The midfield and the wide areas in attack look to be the main issue, with at least one defensive midfielder needed, although it will be interesting to see how much more he is able to bring out of Ainsley Maitland-Niles next season.
Arsenal do have a genuine interest in Jean-Micheal Seri at Nice, but he is seen as more of a replacement for Ramsey, not a player who will provide the defence with much protection. Adrien Rabiot at PSG could be a possibility.
A left side attacker, someone like Julian Draxler perhaps, could bring more balance to the 4-2-3-1 formation and give Emery the width that he likes to see in his teams. Mislintat is believed to be keen on landing Ousmane Dembele on loan from Barcelona.
The new head coach has good options in attack and at full-back, but a centre-back and a goalkeeper must surely be on the agenda, with Bayer Leverkusen keeper Bernd Leno a target as a replacement for Cech.
So it's clear there is major work to be done on the squad and that coaching on the training ground will not be the answer to everything. Arsenal will have to dip into the transfer market and it could be a couple of windows before we see Emery's plans start to really take shape in north London.

This year Expo Latino 2009 in Calgary will feature Caribbean artists based in Canada such as Rafael-Energía Dominicana and Qbanito. The expo will take place at Prince's Island Park in Calgary (Alberta, Canada), August 28-30, 2009. Expo Latino will also host the Reggaeton Fest (August 28, at Prince's Island Park) and Bombazo 2009 (August 29 at the Chinese Cultural Center).
Rafael-Energía Dominicana and Qbanito have been making waves in Canada. Rafael is a Dominican singer and songwriter based in Montreal. His 9-piece orchestra specializes in merengue, bachata, salsa, and other "tropical-Latin" tunes. His great talent has been highlighted often in the Canadian press. Luis Martinez-Peraza (Consul Adjoint of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Canada) has called him "a tsunami of energy," while Ken Druker summed his performance in Jazz at Lincoln Centre (New York City, 2009), by saying, "Now that's a singer. Beautiful."
Havana-born music producer, artist, composer, arranger, and engineer Qbanito "channels and traditional Middle Eastern music to create a uniquely multicultural interpretation of contemporary Latin R&B." He spent his adolescence in Cuba, and at age 17, he relocated to Montreal to perform and continue shaping "his burgeoning Cuban rap sensibilities." His CD, Adivina quién llegó [Guess Who's Here], "reflects the ever-changing style of Latin music." Qbanito adds a taste of Middle Eastern rhythms, elements of hip-hop, and French pop to the reggaeton sound (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/qbanito1).

Broods used the Microsoft Band to create music-video magic
Microsoft is no stranger to collaborating with musicians to show off creative uses for its technology. With the Music x Technology project, the company has worked with acts like Big Grams, Neon Indian, KEXP, Phantogram and others to use its Kinect to enhance the musical experience for fans. I got a first-hand look at "Realiti: Inside the Music of Grimes" back at Moogfest in May, an exhibit that let fans remix parts of a song by interacting with a mesh surface. With the help of creative agency Listen, Microsoft teamed up with electropop duo Broods to produce a music video using the Microsoft Band.
In the past, the Music x Technology initiative has done a lot of motion tracking using the Kinect camera's depth sensors. This time around, Microsoft's wearable is the key to the project, tracking Georgia Nott's movements during the video shoot for the song "Heartlines." In fact, this is the first time the project has used the device while working with an artist. After gathering heart-rate and body-temperature data during the filming process, the team created geometric visuals based on the stats that were overlaid on top of actual footage. Why do this? Hint: It's about more than just showing off what the Microsoft Band can do.
"The goal is trying to communicate on another emotional level, not just through audio and facial expressions," Caleb Nott, Georgia's brother and the other half of Broods, told Engadget. "There are all sorts of ways that emotion can translate into something else. If you can communicate your emotions through your temperature and heartbeat, that's a more sensual experience."
With that in mind, Broods wanted a subtler way to capture the heart-rate data, because their previous video had a more industrial feel. Using a device like the Microsoft Band that's worn on the wrist like a watch did just that. "A piece of medical equipment would have been more invasive, so I think this was a really cool way of doing it," Nott said. "It's really awesome to get biodata and visualize it in an interesting way."
A still from the "Heartlines" video with the Microsoft Band-generated graphics added.
At certain points in the video, you'll notice the pink-hued geometric shapes that look like they're pulsing from the torsos of the musicians. Given the title of the song, the choice to track heart rate seems obvious, but the way it's used in the video isn't too on the nose. The added graphics aren't present in every shot in which one of the Broods appears; they show up only to emphasize words and action at specific spots in the video. "I want to feel your heartlines, I want to feel your heart," the song's lyrics plead, and the pulsing shapes allow the viewer do just that as the graphics rotate around the performers.
The process of tracking vitals during the video shoot wasn't without its challenges. Nott said one entertaining part of the process was watching the poor production person who had to stay within range of Georgia's wrist while also being careful not to step into the frame. "There was a guy running around with a laptop dodging and darting trying to stay out of the shot," he said. "He was so stressed out, the poor guy."
Caleb Nott also said this was his first time trying a fitness tracker; prior to the project with Microsoft, he hadn't worn one. His sentiments about having the Band on his wrist echoed what I've heard from wearable owners before: It's hard getting used to the gadgets for long periods of time if you don't wear a watch on the regular. "I don't wear watches or any kind of jewelry, so it was pretty different," he said.
Explaining how the Microsoft Band is used live during the LA event.
In addition to the video, Broods will use the Microsoft Band to generate visuals during performances on their upcoming tour. Starting next week, the duo's heart rate and temperature will be tracked and translated into on-stage lighting and visuals in real time. Steve Milton, of creative agency Listen, said what concert-goers can expect to see during the tour will be different from what's in the new video, but the wearable will still be keeping tabs on Georgia's stats as she moves around the stage.
"On tour, the band has a really great lighting display, so we've worked with the tour production team to use the Microsoft Band to capture Georgia's biodata during her performance and effect the lighting display on stage," Milton said. As a preview of how the Microsoft Band will be used live, Broods did a small performance at Capitol Records in Los Angeles this week.
What's next for the Microsoft Band in terms of the Music x Technology project? Milton says the team of collaborators has yet to find the limits of the wearable device when it comes to more creative uses. "The Microsoft Band can track a number of things: heart rate, calorie burn, sleep quality and exercise," he explained. "We focused on heart rate given the creative direction of the project, but we have really just started scratching the surface here. We're excited to see where we can take this and how we can move beyond visuals to music and sound."
Speaking of controlling music and sound, Caleb Nott already has his eye on using the Band to manipulate a drum machine. In some behind-the-scenes footage detailing the making of the music video, he said that connecting the gadget so that heart rate controls the kick and body temperature can manipulate a snare or hi-hat isn't beyond the realm of possibility.
"It's something that I'd like to do, but I think first on the list is integrating it into our live performance," Nott said. "We have to see where that takes us, because [using the Band to make music] could be quite different depending on how you're feeling."
Who knows — maybe on the duo's next tour the siblings will employ a Microsoft Band to create a new version of a song, live on stage? One thing's for sure: We haven't seen the last of the company using its wearable in a musical setting.

I'm a laugher. At just about everything. Including myself. I enjoy, and often succeed at, cracking myself up. That's a good thing, as life has way too many sadnesses, of which I probably have more than someone's fair share. So, I laughed at putting this up on the web as a recipe and at the name I decided to give it. Maybe this is what happens when you live by yourself for too long and really don't get out much.
Randy's Recipes: Ramen A-Go-Go
1 packet beef-flavored Ramen noodle soup
1 packet chicken-flavored Ramen noodle soup
Peanut butter (roughly Two tablespoons, or per taste)
Garlic (powder, or per preference) – a good shake, to taste
Wasabi (roughly 1/2 to 1 teaspoon, to taste)
(Update: My wasabi is a blended wasabi/horseradish one from brand: Silver Spring. It may make a difference in the outcome. So, you can use wasabi, or horseradish, or both. The one I used really livened up the soup).
Options to add-in: chopped scallions, soy sauce, coconut milk, curries or other spices, lemongrass, ginger, vegetables, fish, shrimp, chicken, meat, nuts, etc…..
Break noodles in half and add to water filled under halfway point of a medium saucepot. If using vegetables, or other items needing cooking, you might want to add these in now, also. Slightly past boil-point, turn stove to medium low and finish cooking noodles. Add packet seasonings at end. Pour into large serving bowl. Add good shake of garlic, peanut butter and wasabi. Crush down peanut butter with fork to dissolve and mix through soup. Add options which don't need cooking here.
Whether Masala or Marsala, the ramen soups make a nice base stock from which to jump off and depart to flavors of other places: Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc.

While mathletes, scientists, coders, and statisticians will appreciate Windows 7's built-in calculator's programmer, statistics, and scientific modes, everyday people will love figuring out things like hourly wages and mortgage payments without a spreadsheet. Yes, it may seem ridiculous to give more than a few lines of attention to something as minor as a calculator, but until you've seen the built-in calculator in the Windows 7 Preview, you've haven't known pure calculator bliss. This default calculator goes above and beyond the brick on your desk by including unit conversions, date calculations, and a neat new set of "templates" that let you do things like figure out gas mileage, hourly wages, mortgage payments, leases, and more. Check out some of the calculator goodness in the Windows 7 Preview.
Use the Mode drop-down menu to switch between scientific, statistics, and programmer mode. Those are all exactly what you'd expect.
Standard mode:
Statistics mode:
Programmer mode:
Scientific mode:
Hit the Options menu to get to the interesting stuff.
The date calculator lets you figure out the duration between two dates:
Or add and subtract a period of time from a given date:
While it might be easier to just use Google for this, there's also a unit converter built-in:
But the templates area is where real-life scenarios that would usually require a spreadsheet of some kind can be done. Here's how to calculate:
Gas mileage
Hourly wages
Mortage payments
Lease payments
So while the calculator won't be the reason you upgrade to Windows 7, it is one of the many little things that do make life on the desktop a little easier.

Pittsfield — "There are only so many places one can find inspiration – wherever you are, you write about that place. It just creeps in," says Sarah Trudgeon, local poet and director of education for the Mastheads, a new public humanities program that is creating a multifaceted conversation around the Berkshires' literary history.
Henry David Thoreau, known for his experiment in solitary living on the shores of Walden Pond, was thought to have been inspired by a hike through the Berkshires that took him to the peak of Mount Greylock; Herman Melville, ensconced on his family's farm at Arrowhead, gazed due north from his study and found inspiration in the same pinnacle where he claimed to see the great hump of a white whale. As part of the 10×10 Upstreet Arts Festival and in celebration of Pittsfield's literary history, the Mastheads has asked 10 local writers across disciplines – designers, urban planners, fiction writers and poets – to read one piece by a historic Berkshire author alongside one short piece of his/her own. This innovative event will take place Thursday, Feb. 15, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Methuselah Bar & Lounge, 391 North St. The event if free and open to the public.
It is this convergence of both space and place that serves as the foundation for the Mastheads, an endeavor aimed at creating a conversation between the literary history of the area while inviting contemporary voices to take part. Founded in 2016 upon the legacy of five American Renaissance authors who wrote in Pittsfield, the Mastheads is at once an urban architectural experiment, a literary research initiative, a writers' residency and an educational program.
The physical spaces that comprise the Mastheads – a project whose name itself comes from the pages of Melville's "Moby-Dick" – are five sculptural studios, each the architectural interpretation of the original structure from which one of five American Renaissance authors wrote while in Pittsfield: Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. and Henry David Thoreau.
Tessa Kelly, co-founder and executive director, points to Chapter 35 in Herman Melville's iconic novel as the genesis for the project's monniker: "Sailors take turns climbing high up into the mast-head by themselves–a space just the size for one body – where the experience invites thinking, looking inward and getting an unfamiliar view of your natural surroundings," Kelly explains. The Mastheads studios create similar conditions – each outfitted with a bench, desk, large door and various windows to control light and air – while simultaneously affording occupants an unequivocal vantage point from which to observe the world around them.
Last summer, following the inaugural month-long writers' residency, the Mastheads studios traveled to MASS MoCA in North Adams for what will be known, going forward, as "the public residency." This year, plans are underway for the Mastheads to reside at Hancock Shaker Village where they will be available to the public, throughout the fall, for personal use by the hour. "The biggest shift in our conceptualization [going forward] is that, year one, we were focused on the July residency – which will always be a core of what we do – [but we are now] working towards ways to engage others in the Mastheads," explains Kelly. Thursday's event, coinciding with Black History Month and sponsored in conjunction with the NAACP (who will be holding a membership drive), is one such step toward drawing the greater community to the project.
Pittsfield – and the Berkshires, for that matter – is the center of the universe for those who live here. Understanding how to connect this enclave to the greater world is something to be celebrated, and a concept that stands at the center of the Mastheads. Kelly, a practicing architect, "chose [to read from] Holmes, famous for public declarations, as all towns believe themselves to be the center of the universe." This funny yet inspiring fact gives rise to a gamut of historical writers for Thursday's event. Excerpts from Catharine Maria Sedgwick, who wrote about both Native Americans and Puritans in a much more sympathetic way than others had written about prior, will be in concert with the voice of Bernadette Mayer, whose book-length poem "Midwinter Day" depicts a single day in December while living in Lenox with two small children. It is this innovation, not necessarily physical relics of the past, that enable us to "memorialize history in a way that is dynamic – [while] providing opportunities for new, young people to engage in that conversation," explains Kelly.
As for the key concept at the core of this programming? "Inclusion, [and] reaching people where they are," says Kelly. During the school year, the Mastheads operates its poetry-in-schools program, Fireside, in Pittsfield Public Schools. Through reading poetry by local authors and writing poems inspired by them, "[local students] are becoming part of the literary tradition," says Trudgeon. In addition to breathing life into poetry, Fireside supports learning initiatives that the schools themselves are having trouble addressing. As a result, there has been an effort to target schools (at present Morningside Elementary and Pittsfield High School) that are demonstrating a specific need for performance. The reception has been astounding; students compose original poetry, and each 10-week course culminates in an anthology of student work and a community reading. Early feedback suggests that more families were attending the final readings than parent-teacher conferences. "It is so much fun, [and] people are really excited!" says Trudgeon. Parents and community members, even the heads of cultural institutions, are converging in a setting where everyone is comfortable and celebrating the accomplishments of students is the focus.
Kelly and Trudgeon came together by complete luck; in a very short time, their work has left an indelible mark on Pittsfield. That said, the pair is wildly transparent about the "interesting logistical challenges of the Masthead endeavor," which, Kelly explains, largely translate to "how to keep going forward – the puzzle we are trying to solve right now." The project, which began with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 2014, has an annual budget of $100,000. At present, Kelly and Trudgeon are looking for local partners that care about funding operating costs so that they can remain focused on the Pittsfield community and how the past can be present in new ways.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is taking unprecedented steps to increase transparency. Today, VA launched a new Access and Quality Tool that provides Veterans with an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand way of accessing patient wait time and quality of care data. This tool not only provides Veterans with more information about VA services, it increases accountability and ensures VA is held to a higher standard.
In response to the recently released VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) report that reviewed processes from June 6 through December 15, 2016 of the Veterans Crisis Line (VCL), the Department of Veterans Affairs released the following statement:
The Department of Veterans Affairs is proud to announce that the challenges with the Veterans Crisis Line have been resolved.
Prior to the opening of our new Atlanta call center our call roll over rate often exceeded 30%. Our current call roll over rate is less than 1%, with over 99% of all calls being answered by the VCL.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations to establish presumptions for the service connection of eight diseases associated with exposure to contaminants in the water supply at Camp Lejeune, N.C. are effective as of today.
"Establishing these presumptions is a demonstration of our commitment to care for those who have served our Nation and have been exposed to harm as a result of that service," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Dr. David J. Shulkin. "The Camp Lejeune presumptions will make it easier for those Veterans to receive the care and benefits they earned."
Today, the Social Security Administration announces the launch of a new Health IT initiative with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that enables all Social Security disability case processing sites to receive medical records electronically from all VA facilities. Veterans will receive a faster decision on their Social Security disability claim, speeding them and their dependents through this new process. Both agencies will save time and money with an automatic request through the eHealth Exchange.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced today that it is amending its regulation regarding fertility counseling and treatment available to eligible Veterans and spouses. VA currently provides certain infertility services other than in vitro fertilization (IVF) services to Veterans as part of the medical benefits package. This interim final rule authorizes IVF for a Veteran with a service-connected disability that results in the inability of the Veteran to procreate without the use of fertility treatment.

Standing there under warm lights,
Violin raised and bow drawn,
I found you in that sea of faces
At sweet, innocent, fifteen.
I'd never seen you through that lens
And perhaps never will again-
A thrill not equalled on that stage-
Proud moment standing still.
As I played, you did not know
The ballad became my theme-
"I'd die for you", the test;
The music still reprises.
Long gone, but not forgotten-
It hurt because I loved;
Too close to your warmth, I fell-
Wings fairly crumpled.
Although you said goodbye,
I know I'll see your face again-
(I hope the one I played for,
Not the fool you became!)
A brother you'll be, at best,
Still I'll save a spot for you
When I take the stage last time,
May my song not be in vain!

Swedes are among the world's biggest coffee drinkers and they love a 'fika', so it's no surprise they've not only turned the coffee break into an art form, they've also got this very special word for it.
Fika is all about taking a break with a cup of coffee and a pastry or a slice of cake.
Fika also acts as both a verb and a noun: you can fika with someone or you can take a fika.
While you figure out the best way to work this new word into your vocabulary we're going give you ViewStockholm's favourite spots to fika.
Located across from Vasaparken, Ritorno has been around since the 1930s, and it almost seems like the original furniture is still there. Worn, comfy chairs and sofas are overlooked and abutted by badly hung paintings, jukeboxes, odd curiosities, and even a cuckoo clock – it's like sitting in your eccentric aunt's living room. There is a great selection of pastries, cakes, and sandwiches, and a great tea menu. And the coffee? It's among the best in the city. The owner is a bit of a local legend: each and every day he wears a different hat, which can mean anything from a top hat to a Mexican sombrero.
Where: Odengatan 80-82
When: Mon-Thurs 7 am-10 pm; Fri 7 am-9 pm, Sat 8 am-6 pm; Sun 10 am-6 pm
Website: ritorno.se
Sturekatten is truly a Stockholm institution and one of the city's oldest cafés. Located in the heart of Stockholm's tony Östermalm district in a 1700 century building, this café/bakery isn't easy to find but once you do you'll delight in enjoying your fika in one of the many cosy rooms that are spread across two floors. Sturekatten serves up classic Swedish pastries and sandwiches, along with excellent warm and cold drinks. That there is outdoor seating in the courtyard during the summer months adds to the charm. Be warned, though, this place is popular, so set aside enough time to truly enjoy your experience.
Where: Riddargatan 4
When: Mon-Fri 8 am-7 pm; Sat 10 am-6 pm; Sun 11 am-6 pm
Website: sturekatten.se
Owned and operated by Stockholm's Citykyrkan (City Church), Citykonditoriet is one of most beautiful rooms in a city crawling with beautiful rooms. Located on the third floor of the church, all the pastries and bread are baked on the premises, and the lunches are classic Swedish, including the traditional Thursday pea soup with pancakes, which we insist you try. It's a bit like visiting your grandparents and being treated to home cooking in their charming, elegant drawing room. The café is unsigned so take the elevator up three floors and prepare to settle in.
Where: Adolf Fredriks Kyrkogata 10
When: Mon-Sat 9 am-6 pm
Website: citykonditoriet.com
A cosy maze of rooms awaits you on your visit to this very traditional Stockholm café, which has the kind of dusty elegance one doesn't see much any more. Everything is made from scratch at Vetekatten, from the dizzying array of pastries and cakes to the excellent daily set lunch, and the staff is passionately invested in their wonderful café, something that is reflected in the warm, welcoming atmosphere and truly spectacular service.
Where: Kungsgatan 55
When: Mon-Fri 7.30 am-8 pm; Sat-Sun 9.30 am-7 pm
Website: vetekatten.se
Café Saturnus
It might bill itself as a French café but Saturnus has established itself as one of Stockholm's favourite places to not just fika but to grab a delicious bite at any time of the day. It's also rumoured to have the biggest pastries and cake slices in the city, such as the massive cinnamon buns (kanelbulle), which are slightly smaller than your average hubcap. Tucked away on a side street but still centrally located, this place is always busy and they don't take reservations, so plan your trip here well.
Where: Erikbergsgatan 6
When: Mon-Fri 7 am-8 pm; Sat 8 am-7 pm
Website: cafesaturnus.se
You can't fika too much, so make sure to take a lot of coffee breaks in Stockholm!

Former Ag secretary Bergland dies
Bob Bergland, the former House member who was the Agriculture secretary in the Carter administration, died Dec. 9 at a care facility in Roseau, Minn.
Bergland was 90.
House Agriculture Committee ranking member Collin Peterson, D-Minn., said in a statement, "I am so sorry to hear of Bob Bergland's passing. Bob served the 7th District of Minnesota exceptionally before taking his farmer's experience and work ethic to USDA to make sure that crop insurance, rural development, conservation and research programs worked better for farmers and ranchers across the country. I was fortunate to have visited with him back in August and am proud to continue in his footsteps in serving the residents of the 7th District. I send my condolences to Helen and the entire Bergland family."
A funeral is planned Saturday in Roseau, the Associated Press reported.

The Sarasota City Commission will consider City Manager Tom Barwin's resolution today at 6 pm — a resolution that calls upon state and federal officials to ban "assault weapons" from the general public.
According to the commission's schedule, the embattled resolution will be heard during the commission's evening session, which begins at 6 pm today at Sarasota City Hall, 1565 First Street Sarasota, FL 34236.
As I've said, the city commissioners themselves lack the statutory authority to create a gun ban of their own. Florida's powerful preemption
statute gives only the state legislature the authority to regulate firearms. If local officials create their own gun laws, they're subject to criminal charges, fines and removal from office.
Barwin's resolution lacks any real authority. It's not an ordinance or law. It's merely a way for the commissioners to express an opinion, assuming they pass the resolution.
Barwin's current proposal contains several inaccuracies.
It states that "a majority of the American public, including legal gun owners, support … limiting the availability of military grade, high capacity magazine assault weapons to bona fide and highly trained law enforcement agencies."
I've never met a "legal gun owner" who believes only police should have ARs, much less a "majority of legal gun owners" who believe that the rifles belong only in the hands of law enforcement.
The resolution also claims that "military grade, high capacity magazine assault weapons" have been "disavowed by most reputable pro-hunting organizations."
Barwin's resolution has drawn national attention, and earned the ire of the National Rifle Association.
Several people, including Mike Young and other FFLs, have told me they intend to tell the commissioners what they think of the resolution during the public comment period.
I will be attending, and we'll have full coverage here.
