Skip to comments.The Phantom Backlash ( Islam & Muslims )
Posted on 11/11/2009 5:39:15 AM PST by kellynla
Backlash fever is sweeping the nation: thirteen Americans are dead and thirty-eight wounded in a jihad attack at Fort Hood, and our governments primary concern -- from the Chief of Staff of the Army to the Islamic pressure groups such as CAIR -- are focused entirely on ensuring that Muslims in the United States are not being victimized by a backlash.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declared: We object to, and do not believe, that anti-Muslim sentiment should emanate from this. This was an individual who does not represent the Muslim faith. She said that DHS was taking steps to prevent everybody being painted with a broad brush. Not taking steps to prevent another jihad terror attack. And she promised: One of the things well do is make sure that were reaching out to the state and local authorities within the US, because they often have better outreach to members of the Muslim community than we do.
The U.S. Army Chief of Staff, George Casey, likewise seemed primarily concerned about the safety of Muslims, not about the safety of the potential victims of the next jihad attack: Im concerned that this increased speculation could cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers. And Ive asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that. Not Im concerned that there could be another jihadist among our Muslim soldiers. And Ive asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that.
Casey added: Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse. So not having enough Muslims in the military would be worse than mass murder. And this man is the U.S. Army Chief of Staff.
The media was mining the same territory. AP reported Friday that there had been immediate anti-Muslim backlash. What happened? Did armed bands of furious Islamophobes throw molotov cocktails at mosques? Did ferocious white supremacists maul fragile little girls in hijabs on their way to school? Did angry bigots spit at pious imams quietly going about their business?
Had there been any report -- any report at all -- of any innocent, random Muslim being attacked in a backlash after the Fort Hood jihad?
Nope. Not one. Americans are decent people. Americans believe people are innocent until proven guilty. But Ibrahim Hooper and his fellow thugs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) need to be able to claim that hate crimes are being committed so that they can claim victim status for Muslims and deflect attention away from such small matters as the jihad at Fort Hood. And, naturally, the clueless and/or complicit mainstream media in their hip pocket.
And so we witness the strange phenomenon of stories of Muslims fearing a backlash soaring and the numbering of actual incidents of backlash remaining at zero. In the AP story, all that followed the announcement of an immediate anti-Muslim backlash were various stories about mosques and Muslims asking for special police protection, and the like. So in reality, the story should have been headlined, Muslims claim victim status in wake of Fort Hood jihad attack.
The only actual incidents of backlash that AP could come up with were incidents of people calling the Fort Hood massacre a jihad attack -- as if it is Islamophobic and hateful to note that a man was shouting Allahu akbar as he gunned people down, and that he gave out Korans hours before he started shooting people, and that he expressed sympathy for suicide attackers.
Is it unfair -- even racist -- to say then that he may have been motivated by the Islamic jihad doctrine of warfare against unbelievers? To CAIR and the media, yes.
The liberal media is one thing, but the government of our nation is quite another, or at least used to be. Napolitano and Casey should know better. If they do not confront the ideology that leads to such attacks, there will be a steadily-increasing spate of them. But apparently preserving diversity is a higher priority than national security.
On 9/12/2001 GWB should have SECURED BOTH BORDERS and ALL THREE COASTLINES ,began closing mosques(we didn't allow German-American Bunds during WWII)...either we are at war or we aren't and foreign muzzies should have been deported along with the illegals including incarcerated foreigners. Why should Americans have to pay to incarcerate other countries' criminals...it's not like we are short of American criminals and have plenty of empty prison cell space.
Happy Veterans Day, Vets!
Semper Fi,
It's very easy to understand this when you realize that the left in the US hates this country as much— if not more— than the Muslims.
They have a common goal.
We are being led into the Valley of death and we had best learn to fear those leading us there.
The ObamaJihad against this country marches on...unabated.
What is it going to take to recognize evil in our mist?
Why is the US Government speaking on behalf of the "Muslim faith"?
Thank you Robert Spencer!
I agree the left and the muslims have a common goal in their hatred of an America founded upon Judeo/Christian principles.
It is simple as this:
1. Christianity has been an enemy of Marxism since its inception.
2. Christianity has been an enemy of Islam since its inception.
3. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Thus we see why the Marxist's and the Islamists are in bed together. Both have a common enemy-—Christianity.
Some muslims in the U.S. are decrying the attack while others are cheering it.
Which do you suppose we should encourage and which should try for treason and deport?
Maybe at least a little backlash might not be such a bad thing.
Eliminate terrorists, eliminate terrorism.
I beg to differ. I think his actions are an accurate representation of the Muslim 'faith'.
Sorry..."that dog just won't hunt anymore"...
"If" muzzies were TRULY God-fearing people, they woudn't be muzzies..."Testimonies of Muslims who became Christians"
Happy veterans day indeed! Thank you brave (and currently under appreciated) troops. You are in our family's prays every night.
"""They hate the USA for different reasons, and once they "gang together" (there you go, back to leftist groupthink again) to take us down, then, they have to contend with each other."""
Looking far in the future, if the current pattern continues where the European left allows the muslims to takeover Europe and the American left allows muslims to share power with them, then where or when will this stop.
It seems the answer lies in China where the leftist Chinese seem to have a policy of keeping the muslims out of their country.
Happy Veterans Day!
Semper Fi,
Excellent article, thanks for sharing it.
Political correctness was a decided factor in the massacre of those 13 good people at Fort Hood.
Political correctness may well end up being the death of a lot more folks before this is over.
Agree. Janet speaks only "The Party" line. Real American security has never occured to her.
Muslim Veterans Group says no harassment of Islamic Soldiers.
Abdul-Rashid Abdullah, deputy director of the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council, told FoxNews.com that the nonprofit group has not received a single report recently of a U.S. soldier being harassed "simply because he was Muslim."
"That kind of report is inconsistent with what we've heard," Abdullah said prior to a press conference in Washington to denounce Thursday's shooting at Fort Hood, Texas..."
I was in a Sears store and a muslim was behind the register. I sent an e-mail to the store stating that I was offened by the woman in the hijab and that I would not shop where people are employed who's "religion" tells them to kill me.
I had a number of issues with GW's presidency. However, in retrospect, the one very close to the top is the "Islam is a religion of peace!" declaration.
Semper Fi,
If they want to live in that culture they should return to it. (And take their religion and language with them.)When in America, do as the Americans do.
that's a really good point to make. I will do the same.
Till we begin to hold the Left responsible for the results of their religion (Political Correctness is a faith)then all this shrieking does nothing but play into the hands of the left itself. But we on the right are trained by our "leaders" to ineffectively shriek and shout, pout and then write checks to the very same leaders. Communism was wrapped up rather curtly in this country once we cooly eyed its adherents, pointed at them, blamed them and started holding them responsible. Trust me the prozac swillin' lib kiddies will forget all about their semester of Mommy Prof's Sociology "truth" class once they feel the pressure.
"A few stares in the stores at Muslims."
For the moment(subject to change),a good hard glare at a Muslim is my weapon of choice.
Just enough to let them them know I am aware of their presence and I am ready to defend myself accordingly if threatened.
And a Happy Veterans Day to you, Marine!
Semper Fi,
For the life of me, I can't understand why all the politically correct tiptoeing around Islam and the stated goals of that insidious social/economic system that uses "religion" as a cover.
The Fort Hood 13 are but a glaring example of what that philosophy is all about. And yet we are still warned not to rush to judgment. How many more Americans will be sacrificed at the altar of political correctness before our leadership finally "gets it"?
"I can't understand why all the politically correct tiptoeing around Islam"
Simple...afraid of being tagged a "racist"
But those of us who live in the "real world" KNOW that Islam is a cult and muzzies HATE everyone who is not muzzie...
heck they don't even like each other...look how many muzzies were killed in the Iran-Iraq war.
Too late — I've been in backlash against murdering mudslimes since 1972.
We object to, and do not believe, that anti-Muslim sentiment should emanate from this. This was an individual who does not represent the Muslim faith. It will..I DO!~
Not that God wants us to hate (or physically attack) Muslims, but if we ignore the fact that Islam was the primary motive of Hassan here, then we'd be lying and stupid!
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
Too bad that the US still hasn't woke up to the problem yet.
For much more on this Jihad attack see this thread:
The war is upon us.... Every Freeper needs to read this book:
Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left (Paperback)
An original look at those who want us to fail in the Middle East, both at home and abroad. The -- Davis Hanson, Author, Ripples of Battle
By Kat Bakhu (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.
It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.
And a new one:

Bump to that quote!!!
",began closing mosques(we didn't allow German-American Bunds during WWII)"
Oppression of loyal citizen German Americans during WWI and WWII (primarily WWI, we'd gotten more resonable by WWII) was ridiculous, and damaged a large number of Americanized cultural institutions which German immigrants had founded.
To "close mosques" would be an even more direct violation of Constitutional principles, particularly when American citizens are involved.
I find it ridiculous that so-called "Conservatives" argue for greater infringements on the rights of American citizens. More thorough vetting of immigrants and applicants for nationalization? Certainly. An increased FBI focus on ties between militant organizations, money laundering, and organized crime? Definitely. Special taskforces to investigate criminal and/or terrorist acts which are clearly ideologically linked? By all means. However, to stomp on the Constitutional rights of American citizens (born or naturalized) is to become no better than our enemies.
The VAST MAJORITY of the mosques in America are run by...
altogether now... FOREIGNERS! Hello?
And "if" these mosques are promoting anti-American, criminal activities AS MANY ARE, they should be SHUT DOWN and their FOREIGN MEMBERSHIP DEPORTED...
can you say RICO?
So save your "flag waving" constitutional "rights",
I've seen enough dead Marines to last me a lifetime.
Semper Fi,
The bullshit oozing out of the WH and DoD is rather stinky.

When a team comes to the end of a tournament, the biggest question is usually about pitching. But for the Caprock Longhorns at the end of the Randy Keller Memorial Baseball Classic on Saturday, it was more about the hitting.
Caprock concluded the tourney with a well-pitched game against Borger, but it didn't add up to a victory, as the Longhorns lost 6-0 to end the tournament winless in four games. In those four games, Caprock (2-10) scored only four runs and suffered two shutouts.
The loss to Borger (9-8) was symbolic of what's been ailing the Longhorns this season, or at least during their performance in the tourney. Four pitchers combined to give up only one earned run, but Caprock managed only two hits and only got one runner as far as third base.
"It's a total lack of confidence," Caprock coach Nathan Gavina said. "If you don't have confidence at the plate you're not going to be able to do much of anything. We watched too many pitches this week."
Caprock had a chance to make a statement early when the game was still scoreless in the bottom of the third. Borger's Colton Hunter hit Bryan Contreras with the first pitch of the inning and was sacrificed to second on a bunt by Marcos Diaz. Runners were on the corners when Frankie Martinez barely singled to the right field grass.
But on the next pitch, leadoff hitter Eli Cordova lined the ball back to Hunter, who doubled up Martinez leaning off third to end the inning. That turned the tide.
Hunter led off the fourth by reaching on an error against Caprock starter Dallas Guerrero. Hunter went to second on a groundout and scored on a single to right by Travis Huffine, for all the runs the Bulldogs needed.
Borger scored another run in the fifth off reliever Brady Diaz, then added four off reliever Cordova in the sixth, all unearned. Shea Breznik concluded the inning with a two-run double, the game's only extra base hit.
The Longhorns gave up only four hits.
"Too many errors and that all goes back again to having confidence in what you're doing," said Gavina, whose team committed five errors in losing to Lubbock Christian 9-1 to open the day. "You've got to be able to lean on each other. We were in this one for the most part but we never came around. Somebody's got to provide a spark."
Palo Duro (6-5) may have found some late inning magic to carry over to the start of District 3-4A play next week. For the second straight game, the Dons won in the bottom of the seventh, scoring four runs to rally past Hereford 12-11.

Hi there,
hope some of you can help me with this.
We are flying from CDG to EZE on AF and AEP to REL on AR.
Arrival in EZE is scheduled at 0755, departure from AEP at 1140.
What is the best way to transfer from one airport to the other? I suppose taking a taxi will be the quickest?
We will do online check-in for AEP-REL, so that should save us some time.
Thanks for any hints, recommendations,... !

An estimated 36.9 million people were living with HIV worldwide in 2014. Of these, 2.6 million were children under 15 years of age and about 18.6 million were women and girls. Each day that year, approximately 5,600 people were newly infected with HIV and approximately 3,200 people died from AIDS, mostly because of inadequate access to HIV prevention care and treatment services. However, new HIV infections among children are declining rapidly – nearly 60% since 2001 – largely due to scaled-up efforts to prevent mother-to-child transmission.
The toll of HIV and AIDS continues to be harsh, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2014, sub-Saharan Africa accounted for the vast majority of the world's people living with AIDS, new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths. In that region, HIV is spread primarily through heterosexual sex. In 2014, approximately two and a half times as many adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa were newly infected with HIV than boys in the same age group (15 to 19 years).
As of 2014, roughly 13.3 million children under the age of 18 had lost one or both parents to AIDS. Millions more have been affected by the epidemic, through a heightened risk of poverty, homelessness, school dropout, discrimination and loss of opportunities. These hardships include prolonged illness and death. Of the estimated 1.2 million people who died of AIDS-related illnesses in 2014, 150,000 of them were children under 15 years of age.
The global AIDS epidemic continues to affect millions of people, regardless of their age or sex

Note: The numbers in brackets are ranges around the estimates that define the boundaries within which the actual numbers lie, based on the best available information.
Source: UNAIDS, 2014 HIV and AIDS estimates, July 2015.
In 2014, around 220,000 children were newly infected with HIV, bringing the total number of children under age 15 living with HIV to 2.6 million. Nearly 90 per cent of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa.
One bright spot on the global horizon is the rapid decline of nearly 60% in new HIV infection among children (aged 0-14) since 2001, largely due to stepped-up efforts to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Progress must accelerate dramatically, however, to meet the target of a 90 per cent reduction in new infections among children by 2015. Based on a projection of the annual rate of reduction experienced in recent years, the 2015 target would be missed by approximately 155,000 new HIV infections among children in 2015 and not be reached for over a decade. This target was set at the UN General Assembly High-level Meeting on AIDS in 2011 as part of a Global Plan.
Source: UNICEF analysis of UNAIDS 2014 HIV and AIDS estimates, July 2015.
Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Southern Africa, remains the region most heavily affected by the epidemic. In 2014, sub-Saharan Africa accounted for approximately 70 per cent of people living with HIV worldwide, 67 per cent of new HIV infections, and 67 per cent of all AIDS-related deaths. The spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa is mostly through heterosexual relationships, both in the context of transactional and commercial sex and in longer-term relationships, including marriage.
In most other regions of the world, HIV disproportionately affects persons who inject drugs, men who have sex with men and sex workers. The epidemic is evolving, however, and national epidemics throughout the world are experiencing important transitions. In Eastern Europe and Central Asia, HIV epidemics that were once distinguished largely by transmission among persons who inject drugs are now increasingly characterized by significant sexual transmission. In parts of Asia, they are more and more characterized by transmission among heterosexual couples. In Asia as a whole, HIV epidemics have long been concentrated in persons who inject drugs, sex workers and their clients and men who have sex with men. Now, they are steadily expanding into lower-risk populations through transmission to the sexual partners of those most at risk.
Adolescents aged 15 to 19 account for an estimated 11 per cent of new HIV infections worldwide. Globally, in 2014, adolescent girls accounted for over 60 per cent of all new HIV infections among adolescents. In sub-Saharan Africa that year, about two and half times as many adolescent girls were newly infected with HIV than adolescent boys. In only three UNICEF regions – Middle East and North Africa, South Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean – are more adolescent boys newly infected with HIV each year than adolescent girls. This reflects differences in risk behaviour in these regions, which means that interventions must be tailored to the specific nature and dynamic of the epidemic.

Children & AIDS: 2015 Statistical Update
At the turn of the century, and the beginning of the Millennium Development Goals, an HIV diagnosis was equivalent to a death sentence for most children and their families in low-income countries. But now, an early diagnosis paired with treatment and care can ensure long healthy lives, regardless of location, and can help prevent transmission of HIV to others. Since 2000, thirty million new infections were prevented, nearly eight million deaths averted, and fifteen million people living with HIV are now receiving treatment.
Redefining childhood vulnerability to HIV (policy brief)
Childhood vulnerability cuts across all development programming and planning, including the sectors of HIV and AIDS, education, health, child protection and social protection. Understanding indicators of childhood vulnerability in general and to HIV in particular, could help practitioners identify vulnerable children more accurately and spend money accordingly.
Towards an AIDS-free generation – Children and AIDS Stocktaking Report, 2013
An AIDS-free generation means a generation in which all children are born free of HIV and remain so for the first two decades of life, from birth through adolescence.
In an effort to harmonize data collection and minimize the reporting burden on countries, UNAIDS, WHO and UNICEF have developed a joint reporting tool. The tool, which has been translated into several UN languages, combines the Global AIDS Response Progress Reporting and Universal Access reporting on the health sector response to HIV/AIDS. Countries that have not yet begun using the tool are advised to download the latest version. Accompanying guidelines support countries in using the tool and provide detailed descriptions of the indicators used.

UNAIDS, WHO and UNICEF are using Futures Institute's modelling software, Spectrum/EPP, to generate estimates, which support policy decisions concerning public health. Spectrum includes modules for HIV estimates and projectors.
Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), AIDS Indicator Surveys (AIS), reproductive health surveys, sexual behaviour surveys and other nationally representative surveys are currently used to collect data on HIV and AIDS.

Citizen Messenger Bag
- Product Review (submitted on April 30, 2013):
- I just got my first Citizen today. it was smaller than i expected (i have to say i bought this bag without enough research) but I'm loving it already. The only one thing that i wanna say is that this bag would have been way better if this bag had more and bigger pockets inside or outside. Still this bag is really cool though. i will use this everyday!

This is important for diagnosis, because in its most severe stage mania can be mistaken for a metabolic or toxic delirium or for paranoid schizophrenia, resulting in inappropriate treatments.42 On the approach of mania they first become uneasy, are incapable of confining their attention, and neglect any employment to which they have been accustomed. Disturbances in emotional experience as is very frequent, formed the prelude.

At most headaches, weariness, lack of pleasure in work or a great busyness, irritability, sleeplessness, precede by some days or weeks the outbreak of the more violent manifestations, when a definite state of depression has not, 239 Chapter 8. The beginning of the illness is always fairly sudden. The patient rapidly becomes restless, disconnected in their talk, and perpetrate all sorts of curious actions.49 John Haslam,50 recognizing the "stages of mania" more than 170 years before Carlson and Goodwin brought them again to the attention of psychiatry,31 detailed the unfolding symptoms.

Another important example is the association between infection of the stomach by Helicobacter pylori and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue -type gastric lymphomas.
The eradication of the bacterial infection with antibiotics in an early stage results in the regression of the lymphoma. Several types of lymphomas have such cytogenetic markers. Chronic infection with the hepatitis C virus has been associated with the development of NHL predominantly of the marginal zone type.

Adenosine administration prevented buy viagra online illegal mitochondrial damage and the shift of the cell redox state avoiding the enhancement of free proline and the rate of collagen synthesis. Oxidative Stress and Proliferative Potential in Experimental Cirrhosis Oxidative stress has been postulated as a major molecular mechanism involved in CCl3 hepatotoxicity [63-75]. The changes in redox state mainly reflect the events occurring in the parenchymal cells where CCl4 exerts its toxic action. The correlationship of those parameters with the cytoplasmic NAD/NADH ratio, result in a highly significant inverse correlation with collagen synthesis (r=0.71, p< 0.8), whereas the collagenase activity had less influence buy viagra online illegal (r=0.51, p<0.1).
It is possible that adenosine preventing the mitochondrial damage induced by the hepatotoxin could maintain normal communication with mesenchymal cells in order to maintain an increased collagen turnover suggesting that preserving the mitochondrial function possibly arrest the sequence of events leading to cirrhosis [98-110]. On the other hand, mitochondrial NAD/NADH ratio showed a striking inverse correlation with the rate of collagen synthesis , and a highly significant linear relationship with collagenase activity.

Oyster Hotel Review
A modern hotel with Art Deco features
The relaxing Peninsula Island Resort consists of two six-story towers facing each other with a large swimming pool in between. Most rooms have a view over the swimming pool, while the more spacious three-bedroom suites have oceanfront views. However, the gulf is still partially visible from the remaining rooms. The scene at the Peninsula is a laid-back one, with a great pool and lounge area, seasonal swim-up bar, and attractive restaurant and bar. The Art Deco vibe gives this hotel a Miami-type atmosphere, especially with its pastel yellow paint job and turquoise glass accents. The presence of the spa makes this hotel even more relaxing, offering a long list of treatments featuring Aveda products.
On the southern end of the hotel sprawl beside a quiet stretch of beach
The location of the Peninsula Island Resort on the southern end of the island makes it feel quieter than hotels in the middle of the hotel sprawl. It is also close to local restaurants, although a car is necessary to reach them with ease. There are numerous properties in close proximity to the hotel, including La Copa next door. A vacant sand lot separates the parking area -- closer to the road and somewhat of a walk -- from the hotel.

A manga (Japanese comic) series "Hana no Andoroido Gakuen"(Sweet Android High-school) is a comic depicts the battles of Android handset vendors as a school life with caricatured girls who have each vendors characteristics.
"-chan" is a Japanese post-nominal title used for young, tiny or small person. "-kun" is similar but for boys, so her Apple is described as a boy, who goes to another high-school at next, and has quarrel with Sam-Sung-chan.
A teacher Google give favor to 5 students, Moto-Laura-chan(Motorola), Sam-Sung-chan(Samsung), H-T-Syee-chan(HTC), Elle-G-chan(LG) and Soni-Eri-chan(Sony Ericsson). Mr. Google even married with Moto-Laura-chan but as the teacher has a policy not to give precedence to her, everyone tends to forget that the two are in marriage.
In contrast to international students(it's a school in Japan), Japanese students like Sharp-chan, Fuji-Toru-chan(Fujitsu-Toshiba) and Kashio-Nko-chan(Casio-NEC) seem to have anxieties and complains.
The manga runs on extra editions of Weekly Ascii, a PC magazine with long history in Japan. (I remember I subscribed Monthly Ascii when I was a high-school student.)
You may browse some excerpts [J] on Shu-Asu-Plus(Weeky Ascii Plus), online version of Weekly Ascii. The site also released a character model sheet [J]. Each character has most attractive feature and belonging bukatsu(after-school activity circle).
[Update 2012-01-06] By seeing foreign media reported about the comic, Weekly Ascii added text for people who want to read (by machine translation) and/or make translated versions.

Is now clearly unable to win the primary, he has declared himself sane and reasonable.
Christie is already on probation with some conservatives for his praise of President Obama's work on Hurricane Sandy in the closing days of the 2012 election — something a few critics have even suggested put the president over the top.
Now the potential 2016 presidential contender has lashed out at the National Rifle Association, calling a new ad from the group "reprehensible" for using Obama's daughters to make a political point.
"To talk about the president's children or any public officer's children who have — not by their own choice, but by requirement — to have protection and to use that somehow to try to make a political point, I think, is reprehensible," Christie said. He added: "I think it's awful to bring public figures' children into the political debate. They don't deserve to be there. And for any of us who are public figures, you see that ad and you cringe. You cringe because it's just not appropriate to do that, in my opinion."

Electricity Rates and Natural GasWhy are electricity rates tied to the natural gas market?
One of my favorite questions I receive from prospects or new employees is "Why are we talking about natural gas prices, aren't we shopping electricity rates?" The common misconception with electricity rates is that they are tied almost exclusively with the current price for coal. Now, it is correct in assuming that the majority of power in the United States is generated by coal-fired generators; the incorrect assumption is that the market for coal is the primary driver of electricity prices. It is in fact natural gas prices that set the market rates for electricity. Though the use of coal-fired generation continues to fall throughout the nation (51% of all power being generated by coal in 2004 versus 42% in 2011), it is still the most common form of electricity generation. Due to increased regulations being passed down by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), coal-fired generators have been forced to either install 'scrubbers' designed to clean the air discharged from the plants, or decommission indefinitely. The fall in coal-fired generators has had an adverse effect on the capacity portion of electricity rates (the amount of energy the grid needs to have on standby to supply your facility at any given point in time), but the increase in capacity prices has yet to outweigh the lull in the natural gas market. Many generators have decided to close their doors and erect newer, more efficient natural gas generators because of the increased regulation on coal-fired generators. The United States base load transitioning to a greater number of natural gas fired generators has also increased the overall demand for natural gas across the country. Electricity rates suffer from natural gas generators being brought online to meet the demands of the US base load. Mothballing coal-fired generation plants has certainly applied upward pressure on electricity rates throughout the nation.
in the United States
Next, it is imperative to understand that there is a base load demand of energy which calls for power around-the-clock. This base load demand of electricity is met by generation supply, which is fairly difficult to start up and shut down at the drop of a hat, but is also the cheapest method of generation relative to the alternatives. The United States' base load is supplied by cheap coal and inexorable nuclear reactors as they are both comparatively inexpensive and difficult to halt once they are operational, relative to hydroelectric generators or natural gas generators. Base load generators are called upon 24/7 to keep the grid stable and provide the cheapest electric rates on a daily basis. As folks start heading to work and the grid becomes more active, additional generation is called upon to match the increasing demand for electricity. This intermediate demand (early morning through midday) is met by hydro, wind, and finally natural gas generators. As a result of natural gas being more expensive than base load coal per kWh produced, the spot market for electricity starts to climb with the increased demand for electricity. Because the natural gas generation is needed to keep the grid stable, the natural gas generators are able to set the market for the other forms of generation. While intermediate and peak load natural gas generators are online, all other forms of generation (including coal) are able to charge the same rate as the natural gas generators.
Natural gas generation may only make up <5% of the intermediate load on a daily basis, but hydro and wind generators are able to come online at the same price as natural gas generators. On days where grid operators expend all forms of intermediate load generation, (often midday through late afternoon) they call upon peak load generators to come online and meet the instantaneous demand expectations of the grid. Peak load generators are commonly solar or additional older and less efficient natural gas generators. Because the natural gas peak load generators tend to be less efficient and require more gas to run than intermediate load generators, peak load generators come online at a premium to the end-user. This illustration helps to visually express the breakdown of base, intermediate, and peak demand and how they are met by instantaneous supply of generation to maintain stability on the grid:
Demand for natural gas increases as the day wears on, and in turn prices for natural gas increase throughout the duration of the day. Because natural gas generators are able to set the price of all other forms of generation, their expenses are reflected in electricity rates to the end-user. The grid operates in a manner similar to an auction. Operators are looking for the cheapest method of generation for consumers on a daily basis. They call upon coal and nuclear generators to first supply power to the grid, next the hydro and wind generators, and finally natural gas generators to fulfill the demands of consumers. Because some natural gas generators do not have the opportunity to come online and give power to the grid on a regular basis, they would like to take full advantage of the limited number of hours they have to earn revenue. Since electricity rates are driven by the cost of last kilowatt hour of electricity produced, natural gas generators are generally the last form of generation called upon to meet peak demands. Natural gas generators are able to set their margins to what they would like to earn for coming online, (generally earning higher margins than other forms of generation) to make up for only being called upon during intermediate and peak hours.
With the increased EPA regulations on coal-fired generators, consumers will be facing more and more upward pressure on electric rates in the near future. Less coal generation will result in a greater number of natural gas generators being called upon to meet the instantaneous demand of the grid. Another factor applying upward pressure to natural gas prices is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's ruling to allow the export of liquid natural gas. The export of US natural gas will result in less supply for US consumers, and will be reflected in consumers paying higher electricity rates.
Although nearly half of all US electricity is generated from coal, it is the natural gas market that informed consumers need to watch. Electricity rates will continue to climb in the near future with the decommissioning of a greater number of coal generators and increased demand from a rebounding US economy.

The standard forecasts used throughout the transportation industry do not consider the kinds of walkable, mixed-use environments found often in city neighborhoods. As a result, the forecasts typically overestimate the amount of traffic likely to be associated with much urban development. That's a problem for proponents of urban development alternatives to suburban sprawl.
When people say Christmas is a "state of mind" this is what they mean. It's that easy-going, love-thy-neighbor, tip-more-generously, forgive-a-little-deeper, smile-for-no-reason, kind of season.

FastIPAn IP switching protocol developed by 3Com. Fast IP differs from other IP switching in that the end user initiates the process, not a router or switch. The end user establishes a layer 2 connection through source and destination MAC addresses. The originating device sends a packet over layer 3 to the router, which forwards the packet to the destination address, upon which the destination device returns a response using the sender��s layer 2 address. Once the direct connection has been established, the sending device can then send further data directly to the receiving device without having to hop through routers.

Tom, who lives close to the famous Santa Linya cave out in Spain, was kind enough to send us a report of his efforts, with a few crag recommendations thrown in.
"For our summer holidays this year we decided to stay in Spain and explore the crags in the Basque Country and to continue with our Spanish. Having heard about the mega cave in Baltzola, we chose this to be our first port of call. With the cave in mind we escaped from the inferno of Catalonia in search of cool routes and cooler temps. However, we were greeted with tropical weather and a soaking wet cave! Thankfully, locals told us of some smaller less known crags that were good alternatives in summer. These are Valdegobia, Apellaniz, Onati and Lezaia. All of which are situated within 40 minutes of Vitoria-Gasteiz the Basque equivalent of the Catalan climbing mecca Lleida.
So, with a scruffy hand drawn topo we headed to Valdegobia. This crag ought to be added to the list of every Brit sport climber. Set within a lush green meadow the crag hosts everything from 5 to 9a, better described as Spain's equivalent to Malham. Here I managed to make a second go ascent of the awesome route Kulun Gele 8c and in the same style I did Rasputin 8b+.
Intrigued by rumors of mega crags in Asturias and Cantabria we hit the road again. Sure enough there were mega crags, unfortunately, Harry my larger than average (45kilo) dog has not yet learned how to climb via ferratas therefore we returned to the Basque County with our tails between our legs.
After a week of trying to go climbing with no success we headed to Apellaniz with bags of motivation. Apellaniz is a series of small Frankenjura style crags set on a hillside on the edge of a forest. Here I did the classic 8b (2ndgo) and was told that the 8c (to the left) had a broken hold and wasnot possible anymore. It was broken at the 3rd bolt, therefore, it made sense to me to do a link up from the 8b into the 4th bolt of the 8c, with the crux moves being at the top. The route named Justolini, involves steep pocket pulling to a series of tenuous heel hooks and a dead point move to a sloper, all in all a great little route. I thought 8c and my friend Dani Lopez (a strong Spanish climber) tried it after me and he thought benchmark 8c too.
With the hot weather preventing play we headed off to Lezaia. This crag is set in Navarra, a baque speaking province to the south east of the Basque country. Here you will find short steep climbing on tufas and pockets and with shade in the morning means that the rock remains cool from the night before. I tried Guau 8c with Dani, the first two attempts were spent trying to work out the tricky starting sequence with awkward kneebars, pinches and full body compression moves. With the shade dwindling and the heat approaching I gave it one last go and managed to put it all together, 3rd go of the day and 3rd 8c in the last 6 days, a new personal best.
We�ve got a couple of weeks left touring around until Lynne and I head back to work in Catalonia. Really psyched to try some more cool routes in new places and to get together the strength and fitness for my projects back at Santa Linya."

Hi, I'm running Skype on a new Dell Laptop (Alienware m14x) with windows 7 home premium, and it worked perfectly fine for the first two days. Now whenever I try to make a video call, I get the following message: "Skype can't connect to your webcam. Close any applications that may be using your webcam."
So I open my task manager, and there are no other applications running other than Skype at the time, nothing that would be using it under processes either. I have deleted, uninstalled, and reinstalled Skype, and still no luck. (And also restarted my computer numerous times.) I am at a complete loss, I cannot find any program that might also be using the webcam anywhere on my computer.

Mine was the same way. I did get it to work finally with an external usb webcam. But all of the sudden it won't allow for video only Audio. I've tried everything to fix the problem. I even restored pc to see if that would help and nope, now my internal webcam isn't being detected at all by any program. Under call the Video option is in grey and not able to check settings, etc. I'm running windows7 on a Lenovo G575 pc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. God Bless.

Go into Control panel . "add/delete programs" and look for "facebook video calling..exe" and delete it. A facebook update competes with the webcam and does not allow Skype to access the camera even when you are not connected to facebook

I'm not sure what camera you have but the Skype certified Microsoft LifeCams I have work just fine. If you are running Windows 8.0 you may have to use Windows 7 drivers. If however you are running Windows 8.1, then the latest 8.x drivers should work fine.

text: Man Arrested at Another 'Sandy Hook' He was carrying piece of wood labeled 'high-powered rifle' By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Dec 20, 2012 12:53 PM CST 122 comments Comments Christopher Gerrit Johnson is shown in a picture from the Shenandoah County Sheriff's Office. (Shenandoah County Sheriff's Office) (Newser) – A man who may have wanted to make a point about school safety was arrested this morning after walking into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Strasburg, Virginia, carrying a two-by-four labeled, "high-powered rifle." The school, of course, has the same name as that of the school in Connecticut where Adam Lanza's massacre took place last week. Christopher Gerrit Johnson, 33, was not found to have any actual weapons, the Northern Virginia Daily reports. "We don't know his intentions, but it did seem to be related to bringing awareness to school safety," says a police officer.

Network architecture and traffic flows: Experiments on the Pigou-Knight-Downs and Braess Paradoxes
This paper presents theory and experiments to investigate how network architecture influences route-choice behavior. We consider changes to networks that, theoretically, exhibit the Pigou-Knight-Downs and Braess Paradoxes. We show that these paradoxes are specific examples of more general classes of network change properties that we term the "least congestible route" and "size" principles, respectively. We find that technical improvements to networks induce adjustments in traffic flows. In the case of network changes based on the Pigou-Knight-Downs Paradox, these adjustments undermine short-term payoff improvements. In the case of network changes based on the Braess Paradox, these adjustments reinforce the counter-intuitive, but theoretically predicted, effect of reducing payoffs to network users. Although aggregate traffic flows are close to equilibrium levels, we see some systematic deviations from equilibrium. We show that the qualitative features of these discrepancies can be accounted for by a simple reinforcement learning model.

Qualifications Framework
The Botswana National Vocational Qualifications Framework (BNVQF) is an integrated system of nationally recognized qualifications and nationally endorsed standards for the recognition of vocational skills, knowledge and competencies. The Vocational Training Act of 1998 set out broad plans for a three-tier vocational qualifications framework (which will eventually link to a broader National Qualifications Framework [NQF]).
The Framework also facilitates the coordination of vocational education and training (VET) provision in Botswana, assessment of learning, and the award of credits and certificates. The Framework sets quality standards in the provision of VET in Botswana, as well as moderation across fields of learning and levels of qualifications. Following assessment based on unit standards, learners will be awarded certificates of achievement.
Unit StandardA unit standard formally reports the achievement of an outcome of learning worthy of national recognition in its own right. Unit standards will be registered at one of three levels on the BNVQF.
