Casey's Chimney & Wood Stove
240 Warwick Neck Ave, Warwick, RI 02889
(401) 739-5320
Established in 1973, the Casey family has been keeping Rhode Island families warm and safe from chimney fires longer than any chimney company in the state. Founded by, James and Joyce Casey nearly 40 years ago, the husband and wife team started out as a family owned and operated business with a station wagon, ladder and a few chimney brushes. While Joyce ran the office from home and looked after the children, Jim set his sites on becoming the best in the industry. Jim wasn't happy just cleaning chimney's, he wanted to learn the science behind each working part and mechanism taking classes all over the country. Once Jim knew the anatomy of a chimney he could diagnose various problems customers experienced. Just a few short years into the business, Jim learned there was much more to the chimney business than simply brushing down a chimney. His now highly educated eye picks up on what other chimney company's bypass. Two of Jim and Joyce's children have joined the family company where they are committed to their parent's ethics, values, sense of community, and to never sacrifice safety for the almighty dollar. Decades have passed and seen the company grow from a station wagon to cube trucks which are virtual warehouses on wheels. If you need it, we have it - We do it all!

"The runt of the litter! That one's yours, Snow."
Daenerys Targaryen wed Khal Drogo with fear and barbaric splendor in a field beyond the walls of Pentos, for the Dothraki believed that all things of importance in a man's life must be done beneath the open sky.
GET TO KNOW ME MEME → favourite relationships [3/10] » Arya Stark and Jon Snow
"Jon looks like me, even though he's bastard-born. He used to muss my hair and call me 'little sister'. Arya missed Jon most of all, just saying his name made her sad. "
"The frightened child who sheltered in my manse died on the Dothraki sea, and was reborn in blood and fire. This dragon queen who wears her name is a true Targaryen."
Wherever she went, the smallfolk fawned on her, and Lady Margaery did all she could to fan their ardor. She was forever giving alms to beggars, buying hot pies off bakers' carts, and reining up to speak to common tradesmen.

Do Chip Makers Have Cold Feet?
It is starting to look like chip makers are having cold feet about moving to the next technology for chipmaking. Fabricating chips on larger silicon wafers is the latest cycle in a transition, but according to the Wall Street Journal chipmakers are mothballing their plans.
Companies have to make massive upfront outlays for plants and equipment and they are refusing, because the latest change could boost the cost of a single high-volume factory to as much as $10 billion from around $4 billion. Some companies have been reining in their investments, raising fears the equipment needed to produce the new chips might be delayed for a year or more.
ASML, a maker of key machines used to define features on chips, recently said it had "paused" development of gear designed to work with the larger wafers. Intel said it has slowed some payments to the Netherlands-based company under a deal to help develop the technology.
Gary Dickerson, chief executive of Applied Materials said that the move to larger wafers "has definitely been pushed out from a timing standpoint"
Is Ethernet For Autos?
March 11, 2014 by admin
Filed under Around The Net
Comments Off
The most ubiquitous local area networking technology used by large companies may be packing its bags for a road trip.
As in-vehicle electronics become more sophisticated to support autonomous driving, cameras, and infotainment systems, Ethernet has become a top contender for connecting them.
For example, the BMW X5 automobile, released last year, used single-pair twisted wire, 100Mbps Ethernet to connect its driver-assistance cameras.
Paris-based Parrot, which supplies mobile accessories to automakers BMW, Hyundai and others, has developed in-car Ethernet. Its first Ethernet-connected systems could hit the market as soon as 2015, says Eric Riyahi, executive vice president of global operations.
Parrot's new Ethernet-based Audio Video Bridging (AVB) technology uses Broadcom's BroadR-Reach automotive Ethernet controller chips.
The AVB technology's network management capabilities allows automakers to control the timing of data streams between specific network nodes in a vehicle and controls the bandwidth in order to manage competing data traffic.
Ethernet's greater bandwidth could provide drivers with turn-by-turn navigation while a front-seat passenger streams music from the Internet, and each back-seat passenger watches streaming videos on separate displays.
"In-car Ethernet is seen as a very promising way to provide the needed bandwidth for coming new applications within the fields of connectivity, infotainment and safety," said Hans Alminger, senior manager for Diagnostics & ECU Platform at Volvo, in a statement.
Ethernet was initially used by automakers only for on-board diagnostics. But as automotive electronics advanced, the technology has found a place in advanced driver assistance systems and infotainment platforms.
Many manufacturers also use Ethernet to connect rear vision cameras to a car's infotainment or safety system, said Patrick Popp, chief technology officer of Automotive at TE Connectivity, a maker of car antennas and other automobile communications parts.
Currently, however, there are as many as nine proprietary auto networking specifications, including LIN, CAN/CAN-FD, MOST and FlexRay. FlexRay, for example, has a 10Mbps transmission rate. Ethernet could increase that 10 fold or more.
The effort to create a single vehicle Ethernet standard is being lead by Open Alliance and the IEEE 802.3 working group. The groups are working to establish 100Mbps and 1Gbps Ethernet as de facto standards.
The first automotive Ethernet standard draft is expected this year.
The Open Alliance claims more than 200 members, including General Motors, Ford, Daimler, Honda, Hyundai, BMW, Toyota, Volkswagen. Jaguar Land Rover, Renault, Volvo, Bosch, Freescale and Harman.
Broadcom, which makes electronic control unit chips for automobiles, is a member of the Open Alliance and is working on the effort to standardize automotive Ethernet.
Sony Exits PC Business
Sony will unload its struggling PC business to a Japanese investment firm, the company said Thursday, raising the possibility that the "Vaio" brand could all but disappear from markets outside Japan.
Tokyo-based investment fund Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) will operate the Vaio PC brand under a newly established firm and initially sell PCs in Japan only.
In another reform aimed at bolstering its restructuring efforts, Sony also said it would turn its beleaguered TV business into a subsidiary.
The moves come as Sony said it now expects a net loss of $1.1 billion for the year to the end of March, a reversal of its October profit forecast.
Vaio, which Sony introduced in 1996, looks set to vanish from most markets, at least for short term, as the new company will initially concentrate on selling consumer and corporate PCs in Japan. Whether or not Sony will continue to produce products under the Vaio brand remains to be seen, Sony said.
Although Sony is selling its PC business, it will continue to produce tablet computers, part of its renewed focus on mobile devices including smartphones.
Sony did not put a price on the sale. Sony will take a 5% stake in the new firm, it said.
Sony will stop making and selling PCs after its 2014 Spring lineup launch, but about 250 to 300 Sony staff, including some from a subsidiary that produces TV sets, cameras and computers at factories in Japan, will be hired by the new company, which is to be based at the hub of Sony's current PC business in Japan's Nagano Prefecture.
Meanwhile, Sony said it will turn its TV business, which has faced a decade of losses, into a wholly owned subsidiary by July 2014.
Sony Decides Not To Sell

Japan's Sony Corp has changed its mind and decided not to sell its lithium-ion battery unit. Instead Sony has decided to take a chance at turning the business around with a weak yen and growing demand for smart phone batteries.
In addition to a weak yen, which can boost overseas earnings, the battery unit is also seeing increased demand for some of its new products, the Nikkei business daily reported.
For the past two years Sony had been planning to offload the unit, which was a pioneer in making lithium-ion batteries for computers and mobile devices but has struggled recently against cheaper South Korean rivals.
A government turnaround fund tried to broker a sale of the battery business to a Nissan Motor Co Ltd and NEC Corp joint venture earlier this year.
However, talks have stalled and Sony has now told the turnaround fund that it will hold on to the battery unit and develop it as a core business, the Nikkei reported, citing unidentified sources.
Sony, which last year sold its chemical business to the government turnaround fund, is trying to revive the fortunes of its consumer electronics business by focusing on cameras,gaming and mobile devices.
Did Stuxnet Infect A Russian Nuclear Plant?
Kaspersky has claimed that the infamous Stuxnet computer worm "badly infected" the internal network of an unnamed Russian nuclear plant after it caused chaos in Iran's nuclear facilities.
Speaking at a keynote presentation given at the Canberra Press Club 2013, Kaspersky CEO Eugene Kaspersky said a staffer at the unnamed nuclear plant informed him of the infection.
"[The staffer said] their nuclear plant network which was disconnected from the internet was badly infected by Stuxnet," Kaspersky said.
"So unfortunately these people who were responsible for offensive technologies, they recognise cyber weapons as an opportunity."
Stuxnet was discovered to have spread throughout industrial software and equipment in 2010 and is believed to have been created by the United States and Israel to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. According to Kaspersky's source, the malware was carried into the Russian nuclear plant and installed on a physically separated "air-gapped" network.
Kaspersky also made a rather outlandish joke during his speech, saying that all data is subject to theft. "All the data is stolen," Kaspersky said. "At least twice."
"If the claim of the Russian nuclear plant infection is true, then it's easy to imagine how this "collateral damage" could have turned into a very serious incident indeed, with obvious diplomatic repercussions," said security expert Graham Cluley.
"There is no way to independently verify the claim, of course. But it is a fact that Stuxnet managed to infect many computer systems outside of its intended target in Iran," Cluley added. "Indeed, the very fact that it spread out of control, was what lead to its discovery by security firms."
Earlier this year, Symantec claimed that the Stuxnet computer worm could date back further than 2010 and was more widespread than originally believed.
Symantec's report called "The Missing Link" found a build of the Stuxnet attack tool, dubbed Stuxnet 0.5, which it said dated back to 2005 and used different techniques to sabotage industrial facilities.
Chip Makers Going After Cars

Chip makers including Broadcom and Renesas Electronics are putting more focus on in-car entertainment with faster processors and networks for wireless HD movies and navigation, aiming to keep drivers informed and passengers entertained.
With PC sales slipping and the mobile device market proving highly competitive, chip makers are looking for greener pastures in other sectors like in-car entertainment and information.
From Renesas comes the R-Car M2 automotive SoC (System-on-a-Chip), which has enough power to handle simultaneous high-definition navigation, video and voice-controlled browsing.
The SoC is meant for use in mid-range systems. It features two ARM Cortex A-15 cores running at up to 1.5GHz and Renesas' own SH-4A processor plus the PowerVR SGX544MP2 from Imagination Technologies for 3D graphics. This combination helps the M2 exceed the previous R-Car H1 with more than three times the CPU capacity and approximately six times better graphics performance.
Car makers that want to put a more advanced entertainment system in their upcoming models should go for the eight core R-Car H2 SoC, which was announced earlier this year. It is based on ARM's big.LITTLE architecture, and uses four Cortex-A15 cores and another four Cortex-A7 cores.
The H2 will be able to handle four streams of 1080p video, including Blu-Ray at 60 frames per second, according to Renesas. Mass production is scheduled for the middle of next year, while the M2 won't arrive in larger volumes until June 2015.
Broadcom on the other hand is seeking to drive better networking on the road. The company's latest line of wireless chipsets for in-car connectivity uses the fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless standard, which offers enough bandwidth for multiple displays and screen resolution of up to 1080p. Use of the 5GHz band for video allows it to coexist with Bluetooth hands-free calls on 2.4GHz, according Broadcom.
Broadcom has also implemented Wi-Fi Direct and Miracast. Wi-Fi Direct lets products such as smartphones, cameras and in this case in-car computers connect to one another without joining a traditional hotspot network, while Miracast lets users stream videos and share photos between smartphones, tablets and displays.
The BCM89335 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Smart Ready combo chip and the BCM89071 Bluetooth and Bluetooth Smart Ready chip are now shipping in small volumes.
Collaborating Viruses Showing Up
Two computer viruses are collaborating to defeat clean-up operations. Microsoft researcher Hyun Choi has found that the pair of viruses foil removal by regularly downloading updated versions of their malware partner.
It is the first time that such a defense plan has been noticed before. Choi said that the Vobfus and Beebone viruses, were regularly found together. Vobfus was the first to arrive on a machine, he said, and used different tactics to infect victims. Vobfus could be installed via booby-trapped links on websites, travel via network links to other machines or lurk on USB drives and infect machines they are plugged into.
Once installed, Vobfus downloaded Beebone which enrolled the machine into a botnet. After this the two start to work together to regularly download new versions of each other. If Vobfus was detected and remediated, it could have downloaded an undetected Beebone which can in turn download an undetected variant of Vobfus.
Vobfus become a persistent problem since 2009 when it first appeared.

Research In Motion has hinted that it will unveil two new handsets early next month to accompany the release of its BlackBerry 10 operating system.
RIM is expected to unveil the phones at an event in New York City on Wednesday and will begin promoting BlackBerry 10 to consumers the following Sunday, Feb. 3, when it will air a TV commercial during the Super Bowl.
The sporting event attracts one of the largest TV audiences of the year in America, and companies pay millions of dollars for a 30-second advertising spot, underscoring how important it is for RIM that its new BlackBerry platform will be a hit. The same commercial will also air in Canada, RIM's home country.
In announcing its publicity plans Friday, RIM also hinted at when the phones will be available to consumers. It said the TV spot "kicks off a week of worldwide launch activity for RIM's BlackBerry 10 platform, along with the first two devices to run on the new platform."
If the commercial marks the start of a weeklong buildup to the launch, that would put the North American release of the phones at roughly the start of the second week in February.
Windows Phone Is Making Gains

Comments Off
Microsoft's Windows Phone mobile operating system is slowly increasing its market share in the UK, while Apple edges closer to archival Samsung.
That's according to the latest numbers from research firm Kantar Worldpanel Comtech, which show that Microsoft's Windows Phone has increased its UK market share from 2.2 percent to 5.9 percent in the past 12 months. The mobile operating system is doing even better in countries such as Italy, where it boasts a 13.9 percent market share.
Dominic Sunnebo, global consumer insight director at Kantar Worldpanel Comtech said, "At the end of 2012 the global OS picture shows Android on top, but clearly the rate of growth it experienced over the past year is beginning to slow as easy wins from first time smartphone buyers begin to reduce.
"It has been far slower than Microsoft would have liked, but Windows Phone is now starting to gain respectable shares in a number of key European countries."
"However, its performance in the Chinese and US markets remains underwhelming. As the two largest smartphone markets in the world these remain key challenges for Microsoft to overcome during 2013."
Kantar Worldpanel Comtech has also revealed that Apple is edging closer to rival Samsung, with each firm clinging to 32 percent and 35 percent of the smartphone market, respectively. Given that Samsung had a much healthier lead this time last year, these numbers seem to suggest that Apple's iPhone 5 has sold better than rumors had indicated. However, all will be revealed during Apple's quarterly earnings call tomorrow.
Apple and Samsung could soon have a third challenger on their hands, though, as research also shows that Nokia's sales are improving in the UK smartphone market. Sales of the firm's smartphones have increased 50 percent year-on-year, putting the firm's market share at 5.2 percent.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, May/June 2006, pages 37-38
European Press Review
Italy's Repubblica Sees Déjà Vu Over Iran Standoff
By Lucy Jones
The March 9 decision by the United Nations Security Council to take up the issue of Iran's nuclear activities heralds "a new phase in the confrontation," wrote the BBC Web site's world affairs correspondent, Paul Reynolds, that day.
The move, following an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report which said it could not conclude that there are no undeclared nuclear materials or activities in Iran, "takes the crisis to an arena where Western powers are determined to put Iran in the dock, and where they will try to muster support for sanctions," wrote Reynolds.
But, he said "sanctions are a long way off, and might not come at all," because Russia and China, which hold veto powers on the council, are reluctant to see them applied.
"So, a long period of warnings is likely to follow," he predicted. "These will demand that Iran comply with the requirements of the IAEA to suspend its fuel enrichment program."
Spain's El Pais of the same day also agreed that the permanent members of the Security Council will face serious problems trying to reach a consensus on what action to take over Iran. "Some non-Western governments...believe Iran has been treated unfairly compared to Pakistan, Israel or India," the newspaper noted.
"A surreal atmosphere of déjà vu," was how Italy's Repubblica of March 9 characterized the situation. "[As in] the replay of a tragic film already seen some three years ago, the Bush administration, Europe and the U.N. are apparently restaging the script of the war in Iraq in order to apply it to Iran," it commented.
Berlin and Paris should increase their efforts to bring an end to the standoff, urged Germany's Der Tagesspiegel that day, as their opposition to the Iraq war increases their weight in negotiations with Iraq.
"Through their rhetoric, Berlin and Paris must compensate for what London has forfeited, and Washington would be well advised to remain in the background," the newspaper continued.
However, the UK's Guardian of March 18 saw hope, particularly after Washington two days earlier had authorized its Baghdad envoy to hold talks with Iranian officials on Iraq.
"The contradictions increasingly evident in Washington are illustrated by the fact that the U.S. is both working to isolate Iran because of its pursuit of a nuclear weapons option and reaching out to it for help in bringing order to Iraq," the newspaper pointed out.
"The obvious quid pro quo for Iranian help in Iraq would be a deceleration of the American campaign on the nuclear issue," continued the newspaper. "Since that campaign is already slowing because of Russian and Chinese objections and European anxieties, this might come about and then, if one wanted to be very optimistic, lead to a similar slowing down of the Iranian programs."
German Press Split Over Alleged Use Of German Intelligence in Iraq War
German newspapers were divided in March over whether there should be a parliamentary investigation into allegations that German agents helped the U.S. invade Iraq. There have been claims that the agents assisted the U.S. military in selecting bombing targets.
To set up an inquiry would be "right and proper," argued Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung on March 7.
Activities that have now emerged were "initially denied by the government and only admitted when a committee was threatened," the newspaper noted.
But the previous day's Der TagesÂspiegel deemed a probe unnecessary. The paper said it was already common knowledge that the Social Democrat and Green government cooperated more closely with Washington than many are willing to admit today.
"This cooperation was right and proper because the German "˜no' to the Iraq war could not imply just as forceful "˜no' to the U.S. government," the newspaper said.
There is "no scandal" to be investigated, agreed the same day's Frankfurter Rundschau. What has surfaced reflects the "dilemma" posed by a war which Germany rejected but which was being waged by its main ally.
BBC Sees "Real Anger" on Third Anniversary of U.S.-led Invasion of Iraq
Iraq is "teetering on the brink of a bloody civil war," wrote Peter Javurek in Slovakia's SME on March 20, the third anniversary of U.S.-led invasion.
"The only aim [of fundamentalists and terrorists] is bloody chaos which would give rise to a theocratic Islamist regime in Iraq, a regime as undemocratic as Saddam's and perhaps even more dangerous," he said. "This is why the calls for an immediate withdrawal of the U.S. and its allies from Iraq are ill-conceived, to put it mildly."
In the opinion of BBC world affairs editor John Simpson, writing on the same day, "Few Iraqis will even think about the anniversary of the invasion.
"Many are still glad that Saddam Hussain was taken off their backs," he wrote on the organization's Web site. "But there is a real, abiding anger that the richest nation on earth should have taken over their country and made them even worse off in so many ways than they were before."
"Three years after the original invasion, supporters of the war should assess the situation with pitiless clarity. Three years is more than enough time to have trained a new generation of police recruits and native soldiers," wrote the UK's Daily Telegraph on April 3.
"The continuing insurgency can no longer be regarded as a mopping-up exercise, or a prolongation of the military campaign," the newspaper said. "The question we need to ask ourselves is whether our troops are containing a civil conflict that would be occurring anyway, or whether they are in fact exacerbating the unrest by their presence."
But according to the London Times of March 18, "despite the undoubted and avoidable mistakes made in the 12 months after the Ba'athist regime expired, there are grounds for realistic optimism about the future.
"Although there have been hardships a-plenty since 2003, Saddam Hussain's attempts to obtain popular sympathy for himself from the dock have been met with derision," the paper editorialized. "Whatever else they may think about their present situation, the vast majority of Iraqis do not want a return to the dire days of his dictatorship."
School Response to Girl Who Fought To Wear Jilbab Called "Exemplary"
British newspapers generally applauded the March 22 decision by the House of Lords to back a school which was told it unlawfully excluded a Muslim pupil for wearing a traditional gown. The Court of Appeal had said Denbigh High School denied Shabina Begum the right to manifest her religion in refusing to allow her to wear a jilbab. But in a unanimous ruling, judges at the House of Lords overturned the ruling.
"Thank God, the law lords have seen sense," wrote The Guardian's Madeleine Bunting on March 22. "The case was so strongly against Begum. Denbigh High School's behavior was exemplary; they had consulted with the community on a suitable uniform for the 75 percent of their pupils who are Muslims of a shalwar kameez and head covering. At the time Begum attended the school, the head teacher was a Muslim," she noted.
"The nightmare that worried me was the scenario of teenage girls feeling under peer pressure to don the niqab—the face covering which leaves only the eyes exposed," Bunting added.
"This is not a question of one person's rights being trampled by a racist system; it is a question of balance and degree in the competing rights of the devout student to express her faith, and the school's need to set rules that can apply fairly to each pupil," editorialized The Observer on March 19. "Everyone sacrifices personal expression when they don school uniform. They do it so that all are seen to be equal when they enter the classroom."
"I met Shabina before she went to court," wrote Fiona Phillips in the March 25 Daily Mirror. Begum, she said, had told her she was "an intelligent girl" and that "no one tells me what to do." But, noted Phillips, "her brother does [tell her what to do]." Phillips went on to point out: "Shabina dug her heels in over her uniform after being counseled by a radical Muslim group, Hizb ut-Tahrir, to which her brother belongs. They campaign for Britain to be subjected to Muslim rule. When Shabina was pushed on a question," Phillips added, "she didn't seem to know her own mind—looking to her barrister to answer."
"Shabina was just turning 14 when her brother, then a 19-year-old university student, and another man took her, wearing the jilbab, to school on the first day of term in 2002," the London Times reported on March 23.
"Lord Scott of Foscote, in his judgment yesterday, noted that it seemed to be the men who were requiring Shabina to cover up," the newspaper said.
Most newspapers referred to the fact that Begum had been represented by the prime minister's wife, Cherie Blair, and had lost two years of schooling to fight the case.
Muslims Invented Coffee, Pin-Hole Camera and the Windmill, Reports London's Independent
From coffee to the fountain pen, the Muslim world has given us many innovations that we take for granted in daily life, London's Independent reported in its March 11 Science and Technology section. Credited with discovering coffee is an Arab named Khalid, the newspaper said, who was tending his goats in the Kaffa region of southern Ethiopia when he noticed his animals became livelier after eating a certain berry.
The first person to realize that light enters, rather than leaves, the eye was the 10th century Muslim mathematician, astronomer and physicist Ibn al-Haitham, the newspaper noted. He invented the first pin-hole camera after noticing the way light came through a hole in window shutters.
Muslims are also credited with perfecting the recipe for soap, the article continued. While the ancient Egyptians had soap of a kind, as did the Romans, who used it more as a pomade, it was the Arabs who combined vegetable oils with sodium hydroxide and aromatics, such as thyme oil. One of the Crusaders' most striking characteristics, to Arab nostrils, was that they did not wash, the newspaper said. Shampoo was introduced to England by a Muslim who opened Mohamed's Indian Vapour Baths on Brighton seafront in 1759 and was appointed Shampooing Surgeon to Kings George IV and William IV, it continued.
The newspaper also credits Muslims with inventing distillation; the crank-shaft; quilting; the pointed arch so characteristic of Europe's Gothic cathedrals; the windmill (invented in 634 for a Persian caliph); the smallpox vaccination; and the fountain pen. ❑

Courthouse construction on schedule

�Weather permitting, we should begin pouring walls tomorrow,� Dean Sand of CAM, Inc. told the Fillmore County Board on Tuesday. �We�re three weeks out on setting steel.�
Sand, along with representatives of Kane & Johnson Architects were before the board to update them on the courthouse project. According to Sand, they are just about done with soil corrections. He said that to date they have spent an estimated $25,000 on soil issues and expect it to reach $30,000 when they are done. Sand said that they still need fill for sewer lines, sidewalks and slopes. The Board discussed two change orders. The first issue was whether to add floor drains in public bathrooms. There was strong concensus that this would be an economical and useful thing to do. The board approved adding floor drains to seven bathrooms at a price not to exceed $1400 on a 4-1 vote, with Chairman Marc Prestby in opposition. The second issue the board looked into was whether to add bullet resistant glazing to windows in the judge�s chambers as well as the county attorney�s office. Architect Dave Kane said that it was important to make the decision now as it takes 12 weeks lead time to get the special windows. Each window would cost $2,500 for grade 4 glazing. Glazing grades go up to 10, with highest grades capable of stopping a mortar shell. Grade 4 is capable of stopping a shotgun slug or rifle bullet, and would probably alter the projection of higher gauge bullets. Judge Robert Benson questioned whether it would be just as effective to place tinting on the window. �The question is limiting vulnerability versus the cost of glazing,� Benson said. He said that as a county attorney over a 20 year period he had received nine death threats and three over a six year period as a judge. Benson went on to say that it is more likely someone would harm him on his way to his car rather than in his office. But Kane argued that tinting doesn�t work at night and that people would be able to see into the office. Commissioner Chuck Amenrud said that he was in favor of playing it safe. �We have a judge that doesn�t need it now, but another judge in the future may want it,� Amenrud said. Commissioner Helen Bicknese agreed. When asked by Commissioner Randy Dahl what the recommendaton of the Third Judicial District was regarding this issue, Benson answered that it was their recommendation that there be secure glass. On a three to two vote, with Commissioners Marc Prestby and Duane Bakke opposed, the board approved purchasing bullet resistant glass for two windows in the judge�s chambers and one window in the county attorney�s office. The final issue concerning the building project had to do with cash flow. To date, the county has paid out $168,799 of the $3,711,365 project. Fillmore County Treasurer Phil Burkholder asked if a scheduled spend down could be put together so that he can better manage the county�s investments. Sand said that he would put together a project cash flow schedule based on estimates.

Sean Penn amazes me. Not long before seeing "Milk," I viewed his work in "Dead Man Walking" again. Few characters could be more different, few characters could seem more real. He creates a character with infinite attention to detail, and from the heart out. Here he creates a character who may seem like an odd bird to mainstream America and makes him completely identifiable. Other than the occasional employment of Harvey Milk's genitals, what makes this character different? Some people may argue there is a gay soul but I believe we all share the same souls.
In 1977, Harvey Milk became the first openly gay man elected to public office in the United States. Yes, but I have become so weary of the phrase "openly gay." I am openly heterosexual, but this is the first time I have ever said so. Why can't we all be what we prefer? Why can't gays simply be gays, and "unopenly gays" be whatever they want to seem? In 1977, it was not so. Milk made a powerful appeal to closeted gays to come out to their families, friends and co-workers, so the straight world might stop demonizing an abstract idea. But so powerful was the movement he helped inspire that I believe his appeal has now pretty much been heeded, save in certain backward regions of the land that a wise gay or lesbian should soon deprive of their blessings.
Gus Van Sant's film begins with Harvey Milk at 48, reflecting into his tape recorder about a personal journey that began at 40. At that watershed age, he grew unsatisfied with his life and decided he wanted to really do something. A researcher at Bache & Co. and a Goldwater Republican, Milk became involved with a hippie theater company in Greenwich Village and began to edge the closet door ajar and wave out tentatively. He was in love with Scott Smith (James Franco), they moved to San Francisco, they opened a camera shop in the shadow of the Castro Theater and saw that even America's largest and most vocal gay community was being systematically persecuted by homophobic police.
Milk didn't enter politics as much as he was pushed in by the evidence of his own eyes. He ran for the Board of Supervisors three times before being elected in 1977. He campaigned for a gay rights ordinance. He organized. He acquired a personal bullhorn and stood on a box labeled "SOAP." He forged an alliance including liberals, unions, longshoremen, teachers, Latinos, blacks and others with common cause. He developed a flair for publicity. He became a fiery orator. Already known as the Mayor of Castro Street, he won public office. It was a bully pulpit from which to challenge rabble rousers like the gay-hating Anita Bryant.
"Milk," from an original screenplay by Dustin Lance Black, tells the story of its hero's rise from disaffected middle-aged hippie to national symbol. Interlaced are his romantic adventures. He remained friendly with Scott Smith after they drifted apart because of his immersion in politics. He had a weakness for befriending wet puppies: at first, Cleve Jones (Emile Hirsch), who became another community organizer. Then Jack Lira (Diego Luna), a Mexican American who became neurotically jealous of Milk's political life. The prudent thing would have been to cut ties with Lira, but Milk was almost compulsively supportive.
His most fateful relationship was with Dan White, a seemingly straight member of the Board of Supervisors, a Catholic who said homosexuality was a sin and campaigned with his wife, kids and the American flag. An awkward alliance formed between Milk and White, who was probably gay and used their areas of political agreement as a beard. "I think he's one of us," Milk confided. The only gay supervisor, Milk was the only supervisor invited to the baptism of White's new baby. White was an alcoholic who all but revealed his sexuality to Milk during a drunken tirade, became unbalanced, resigned his position and on Nov. 27, 1978, walked into City Hall and assassinated Milk and Mayor George Moscone.
"Milk" tells Harvey Milk's story as one of a transformed life, a victory for individual freedom over state persecution, and a political and social cause. There is a remarkable shot near the end, showing a candlelight march reaching as far as the eyes can see. This is actual footage. It is emotionally devastating. And it comes as the result of one man's decisions in life.
Sean Penn never tries to show Harvey Milk as a hero, and never needs to. He shows him as an ordinary man, kind, funny, flawed, shrewd, idealistic, yearning for a better world. He shows what such an ordinary man can achieve. Milk was the right person in the right place at the right time, and he rose to the occasion. So was Rosa Parks. Sometimes, at a precise moment in history, all it takes is for one person to stand up. Or sit down.

In a world where many mainstream media outlets may espouse a certain kind of feminism-lite, it's surprising to see them eagerly pick up on a story that says, in essence, that I'm a rational man and you're a hysterical woman. It's science!
By LINDY WEST of Jezebel:
I've been doing some scholarly research, and I noticed this thing that's been really dragging society down for the past few millennia: it's that everything is wrong with you. You are gross. First of all, your hair is gross, because it is not long and thick enough. But don't strap fake hair to your head! That's also gross! Also, what the fuck is up with your skin? It is so dry and scaly like a lizard (but not one of those sexy lizards)! Except uuuuuuugh, do you have to take so longputting on your idiotic woman-lotion? This penis isn't going to fondle itself! CHOP CHOP. Now, I know all this contradictory minutiae regarding your attractiveness can get confusing (especially with your lipstick-encrusted walnut brains!), but luckily, plenty of guys are generous enough to explain what they don't like about you in great detail. Over and over. You're welcome.
In a new study put out by the National Partnership for Women and Families, an analysis of the most recent census statistics available has found that Seattle has one of the highest disparities in pay between sexes.
by Mia McKenzie of Black Girl Dangerous:
Today, the two 16-year-old football players who were accused of raping a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio were found guilty. The boys' emotional reactions to the verdict, including crying in court, led several different CNN personalities to lament that their young lives have been ruined. That's right. With no mention of the rape victim and how her life has been affected by being raped (and having the assault photographed and videotaped and tweeted about by the people who watched it all happening and did nothing), CNN went all boo-hoo for the boys who did it.
What is true, researchers have found, is that cultural opposition to rape myths makes men less likely to commit assault, and acceptance of those myths makes sexual assault more likely.
This piece first appeared in the Guardian, by Jill Filipovic:
When do we get to stop calling someone a "good man" (or, for that matter, a "good woman")? And how do we actually stop rape?
Those are just two of the questions being raised by the internet argument du jour, which started when the website the Good Men Project put up a post by writer Alyssa Royse titled "Nice Guys Commit Rape Too." The gist of Royse's piece is that one of her friends – a nice guy, she says – raped a woman in their social circle. The man admits that he penetrated the woman while she was sleeping, but says he was confused by the "mixed signals" the woman sent him. She apparently flirted "aggressively" and touched his hair and talked about her own sexuality, which made him think that she wanted to have sex with him.
He waited until she was asleep and could not consent to put his penis inside of her. In the piece, Royse contended that this nice guy is a rapist, but an accidental one who was simply confused by society's mixed-up views on sex and sexuality.

CT4. Novel Chemical Process and Catalytic Technology
Processes that chemically or biochemically (including catalytic/biocatalytic approaches) produce chemical products from renewable and abundant natural resources with substantially improved energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact compared to current approaches. New or novel green chemistry processes; technologies involving the development of novel homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts and biocatalysts, co-catalysts, promoters, and/or supports that are highly active, selective, and long-lived compared to the state-of-the-art; sustainable catalysts that are based on environmentally friendly and non-toxic metals, non-metallic, and earth-abundant elements; catalysts enabling the simplification of complex multistep chemistries into fewer steps and ideally a single step, with byproduct elimination and substantial reductions in energy costs and capital equipment costs, which lead to superior or new process technology alternatives to existing technologies.
CT5. Carbon Dioxide and Methane Conversion to Industrial Chemicals
Proposals of interest would seek to develop and commercialize processes for efficient carbon dioxide capture from concentrated industrial exhaust sources and pathways for its conversion to value-added industrial chemicals and products resulting in net carbon sequestration on a life cycle analysis. Proposals of interest would also include those with catalytic chemical process technologies for the conversion of methane (from natural gas, landfills, wastewater treatment, etc.) to industrial chemicals; novel catalytic process technologies to directly convert captured carbon dioxide to methanol through non syngas routes, as well as novel catalytic technologies to convert methane directly to methanol and hydrocarbons and value-added chemicals (through non syngas routes). Approaches could include novel biochemical pathways.
CT6. Food Technology
Proposals of interest could involve the development of materials and methods and substitutes that meaningfully reduce dietary calories in processed foods; chemistry and formulations to influence energy intake to reduce and prevent obesity; Proposals of interest may include developing novel food processing technologies for better quality and nutritional value; improving process monitoring, control, and sensing technologies for food quality and safety; sustainable food packaging materials; novel food storage technologies; technology to reduce food wastage in the farm-to-consumer supply chain; innovations in transportation and the distribution of food that conserve the food supply and lead to lower wastage; real-time microbial contamination sensing and control, the removal of toxic compounds from processed food, animal, and dairy products, eliminating health hazards.
CT7. Sustainable Technologies for Energy Efficiency, Capture, Storage and Use
Proposed projects might include novel technology and approaches for the direct capture, conversion, storage, and use of any renewable energy sources; and waste heat recovery. Projects may include novel technology that leads to substantial enhancement in energy storage capacity, energy use efficiency, energy management, and energy recovery from waste streams compared to currently available technologies in any applications, including (but not limited to) residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Technologies may include combinations of mechanical, electrical, electrochemical, chemical/material, and biochemical approaches. Innovations for existing or novel energy storage techniques (such as batteries, capacitors, supercapacitors) are also relevant; nature-inspired processes for sustainable energy generation or capture; innovations in lubrication/tribology leading to reduced energy intensity in the chemical process industry; portable energy generation technologies that completely rely on renewable sources to allow supporting industrial energy needs in remote off-grid and underdeveloped economic regions.
CT8. Bioenergy and Renewable Fuels Technology
Proposed projects might include new and novel methods to generate energy from marine, plant, algal, and microbial bio-energy sources; hydrogen production; innovations in high-yielding biomass crops for energy and chemicals production that do not compete with food supply. Proposed projects might involve the development of new, commercially viable renewable fuel options with reduced environmental impact relative to existing fuels, including (but not limited to) drop-in replacements to petroleum-based transportation fuels.
CT9. Water, Waste Treatment, and Environmental Sustainability
Proposed projects may present novel process and product technologies for commercially attractive energy efficient pollution prevention, treatment and remediation, water treatment (drinking water and wastewater), as well as novel technologies for energy efficient recycle and the reuse of water and waste streams. Technologies proposed should be significant breakthroughs or enhancements relative to the current state of the art and seek to address current and emerging industrial/municipal and agricultural needs, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed projects could seek to develop solutions spanning a broad spectrum of operational scales including point of use, portable, off-grid, and fixed installations for municipal, industrial, and agricultural waste, water and wastewater treatment, and recycle and reuse. Projects of interest may seek to develop technologies that provide new pathways for the collection, recycle, and reuse of post-consumer and industrial waste, waste chemical, polymeric materials, plastics, etc.
CT10. Environmental Pollution Monitoring and Mitigation
Proposed projects may include methods to reduce human ecological and environmental impacts; microbial contamination sensing and control; the removal of toxic compounds for human and animal safety; novel bioremediation technologies; air pollution monitoring and mitigation to remove gaseous pollutants and particulates, improving environmental compatibility and sustainability; and pathogen and toxin diagnostics technologies. Projects could involve real-time sensing, the monitoring and tracking technology of pollutants that are currently regulated as well as newer, emerging, non-regulated contaminants that could have potentially broad and deleterious environmental, health, and safety impact.
CT11. Renewable Feedstocks through Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry Technology
Technologies that allow for the more effective use of renewable forestry as a biomass feedstock through biochemical or green chemistry pathways for the production of wood-based fuels and industrial chemicals, such as cellulosic fibers, lignin-based materials, plastics from cellulose, food packaging and building materials, coatings, sealants, elastomers, adhesives, etc. Technologies that allow the more efficient processing of wood for industrial use and technologies that enhance the renewal and management of forests for sustainable industrial and commercial use would be relevant. Technologies that increase the efficiency of nutrient assimilation; sustainable and commercially viable precision agricultural and forestry technologies; high productivity harvesting technology; soil, environmental sensing, and monitoring technologies that improve forest and agricultural crop management and productivity, reduce carbon foot print, and enhance the sustainability of silviculture/agricultural practices.
