Use the appropriate combination of pipettes to achieve the correct dose

Pyriprole kills fleas within 24 hours after application. One application prevents flea infestation for 4 weeks.
Tick treatment and prevention
Pyriprole kills ticks within 48 hours post-exposure. One application is effective against ticks for 4 weeks.
Method of administration
For application to the skin only.
Remove one pipette from the package. Hold it in an upright position. Tap the narrow part of the pipette to ensure the contents are in the main body of the pipette. Snap-off the top of the pipette along the scored line. Part the coat on the back of the animal between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze it gently several times at one or two spots to empty the contents onto the skin. Ensure the product is deposited on the skin. Apply the 5 ml pipette to 2-3 spots down the backline of large dogs in order to prevent run-off.
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not use in dogs less than 8 weeks of age or with a body weight of less than 2 kg.
Do not use in case of known hypersensitivity to phenylpyrazole class compounds or any of the excipients.
Do not use on sick (e.g. systemic diseases, fever) or convalescent animals.
This veterinary medicinal product is specifically developed for dogs. Do not use in cats, as this could lead to overdosing.
Do not use in rabbits.
On very rare occasions the following have been reported:
- Application site and skin reactions: pruritus, hair change, dermatitis, erythema, alopecia, fur discolouration and
greasy appearance of hair.
- Neurological reactions: ataxia and convulsions.
- Systemic reactions: lethargy.
- Digestive tract reactions: emesis and diarrhoea.
These signs are usually transient and disappear within 24hours of the application; if they take longer to disappear
consult your veterinarian.
A brief period of hyper salivation may occur if the animal licks the application site immediately after treatment.
This is not a sign of intoxication and disappears within minutes without treatment. Correct application will minimise licking of the application site.
As a precautionary measure, people should avoid contact with the treated area of the animal and children should not be allowed to play with treated animals until the application site is dry. It is therefore recommended to treat animals in the evening. Recently treated animals should not be allowed to sleep in the same bed as their owners, especially children.
People with known hypersensitivity to the phenylpyrazole class compounds or any of the excipients should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product.
Avoid skin contact with the pipette content. Wash hands or other exposed body parts after use with soap and water. If accidental eye exposure occurs, the eyes should be rinsed carefully with water. If eye irritation persists seek medical advice and show the package leaflet or the label to your doctor.
Do not smoke, eat or drink during application.
Apply only to the skin surface and on intact skin. This veterinary medicinal product is external topical applicationas a spot-on treatment only. Do not administer orally or via any other route. The dog should be accurately weighed before the treatment. Care should be taken to avoid contact of the veterinary medicinal product with the eyes of the animal.
It is important to apply the dose to an area where the dog cannot lick it off and to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment.
Following treatment, ticks will detach from the host within 24 to 48 hours after infestation; however, single ticks
might remain on the animal. For this reason, a transmission of infectious diseases by ticks cannot be completely
excluded. This veterinary medicinal product is for the treatment of ticks and adult fleas. All dogs in a household should be treated.
In cases of heavy infestation prior to treatment, the dog's surrounding should be vacuumed and treated with a suitable insecticide.
Dogs should not be bathed or shampooed from 48 hours before treatment. Immersion of the animal in water or shampooing within 24 hours after treatment may reduce the efficacy of the veterinary medicinal product. However, weekly immersion in water did not affect efficacy against fleas and ticks. The safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established in pregnant or lactating bitches, nor in breeding animals, although in laboratory animal studies no indications of relevant effects on reproduction or foetal development were observed. Use only accordingly to the benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian. Any unused veterinary medicinal product or waste materials derived from such veterinary medicinal products should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements. Prac-tic should not enter watercourses as this may be dangerous for fish and other aquatic organisms.
Pharmaceutical precautions
Keep out of the sight and reach of children
Store the pipettes in the original container in order to protect from light.
Do not store above 25°C.
Do not use after the expiry date stated on the pipette after "EXP".
Do not remove the pipette from the packaging until ready to use.
Legal category
Packaging Quantities
Immediate packaging: The spot on pipette is composed of a bright yellow polypropylene shell, with a pale yellow
aluminium foil back coated with a polyethylene terephthalate film. The pipette is contained in a child resistant soft
tempered aluminium foil/PVC blister.
Outer packaging: Cardboard carton containing 1, 2 or 10 blisters each containing 3 pipettes.
Further information
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction: None Known, however owners are advised to consult a veterinary surgeon if they intend to use the product on dogs given other products /medication.
The veterinary medicinal product is an insecticidal and acaricidal solution for spot-on use, containing Pyriprole as active substance.
Pyriprole is an insecticide and acaricide belonging to the phenylpyrazole class. It acts by interacting with ligandgated chloride channels, in particular those gated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), thereby blocking pre- and post-synaptic transfer of chloride ions across cell membranes. This results in uncontrolled activity of the central nervous system and death of fleas and ticks.
Parasites are killed through contact rather than by systemic exposure. Pyriprole kills fleas within 24 hours and ticks (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes scapularis, Dermacentor variabilis, Amblyomma americanum) within 48 hours post-exposure.
Adult fleas are killed before they lay eggs for a minimum of 4 weeks after treatment. Since Prac-tic completely eliminates egg production, it breaks the flea life cycle.
Excipients: 0.1% Butylhydroxytoluene (E321), among others.

Liberals at War With Liberty
Why were liberals were so insanely paranoid about the alleged nefarious activities of President George W. Bush? Projection, anyone? They were mortified at Bush's alleged encroachment on our individual liberties, but now that they're in control, we see where liberty ranks on their list of priorities.
We've always known that the term "liberal," in modern parlance, is an oxymoron. Today's liberals are the exact opposite of the classical liberals of yesteryear, who actually believed in limited government and free markets.
Liberals have been seducing Americans out of their liberties for decades with false promises of security. Prior to Obama, we were on a slow march toward statism, but now we are on a rapid gallop.
That's mostly what next week's congressional elections will be about. Ordinary Americans are horrified and outraged that Obama and his enablers in Congress are fundamentally transforming America from a beacon of liberty to a bankrupt socialist state. They are outraged that this elite bunch of officious intermeddlers are waging all-out war against our social compact. Americans want America back.
This nation was founded as a constitutional republic, with the people electing representatives to serve on their behalf and tend to the proper functions of government but ultimately retaining sovereignty.
Most Americans are sophisticated enough to understand that we don't have a pure democracy and that we can't conduct government by daily polls or plebiscites. But they also don't expect that their wishes will be ridiculed, summarily rejected and spat upon by a sneering, disdainful autocracy.
President Obama and his henchmen are in the process of undermining the social compact in a number of ways. They are acting outside their constitutional authority, in defiance of the rule of law, to achieve political ends they — not the public — desire. They are ignoring the express will of the people and treating them like ill-informed rubes whose opinions aren't worthy of serious consideration, only phony placation. They are implementing a policy agenda that is substantively depriving us of our liberties across the board.
It's not for shock value that conservatives accuse Obama's band of being socialists. It's because there appears to be no limit to their appetite for gobbling up power and swallowing our individual liberties.
It's not just about power, either. They are imbued with a disturbing degree of moral superiority. They believe they have the right — even the duty — to tell us how we ought to live our lives because they know better than we do what is good for us. And they talk to us about Christian scolds!
This attitude underlies their views, from the seemingly least significant to the most pressing issues. Their czars and administrative dictators tell us that they are going to coerce us out of our cars and onto biking trails and walkways. They are giving people's hard-earned money away to other people to keep those other people in houses they can't afford, only to result in those others being unable to pay their mortgages and still losing their homes.
They are re-expanding the welfare state, increasing people's dependency on government, even though welfare reform was producing dramatically positive results while weaning people off the government teat. It's not results that matter; it's only the intermeddlers' professed good intentions. But how can good intentions any longer be fairly attributed to them, when the results of their policies are so uniformly disastrous, from the war on poverty to welfare to Social Security to, now, health care? And yes, I meant to include Social Security, because in its existing form, it is a complete hoax — entirely unfunded because its revenues have been hijacked from the beginning by immoral, irresponsible politicians unwilling to make government live within its means. These same politicians still refuse to reform it toward solvency, preferring fear and demagoguery to the hard truth.
People are very anxious about the depressed economy, to be sure, but they are outraged at Obama and Congress' deliberately bankrupt spending in the fraudulent name of repairing the economy; they are incensed at this immoral larceny against them and future generations of Americans to satisfy professor Obama's quixotic experiment in socialist economic theories. And they are mortified that these reckless knuckleheads are wrecking the best health care system in the world under false pretenses — from promising more choice and coverage, when there will be less of both, to reduced costs, when costs are already beginning to explode.
America, its founding principles, its Constitution, its robust liberty tradition and its strength are being stolen out from under us by a man who has no appreciation for America's greatness and who has contempt for ordinary Americans (we're "enemies"), whom he considers beneath him and unworthy of their sovereign prerogative to preserve this nation.
The people have had enough. Consequently, absent unimaginable, comprehensive voter fraud next week, we're going to see an unprecedented housecleaning.

The Jobs Myth
Submitted by KC Mulville on Mon, 11/01/2010 - 12:17am.
The media have portrayed this election about jobs, and nothing else. After all, they argue, the polls show that the people are angry about jobs, and that their fear is driving their anger. The people are just afraid of the unknown.
Go back to the town halls a year ago. People were very angry then, and it had nothing to do with jobs. It had everything to do with the way Democrat politicians treated constituents. It had to do with respect for citizens. It had to do with Democrats not reading the bills, and then dismissing criticism by saying that they never read bills. It had to do with town halls in which politicians told constituents to sit down and shut up.
Fast forward to January, where the people were all set to kiss Obamacare goodbye. The people, not just the Republicans, had rejected it. And then, in a parliamentary maneuver never used for these kinds of bills before, the Democrats pushed through a package that they admitted they hadn't read. This was after Harry Reid claimed just two weeks before that it was absurd for the GOP to accuse them of reconciliation. Then they celebrated and praised themselves for their political prowess. Ha ha. They had pulled a fast one. Weren't they clever?
This isn't about jobs, and the people aren't worried about their money, and it isn't fear of the unknown.
This is payback for the hateful, condescending way that the Democrat Party has treated the American public.
Can't come fast enough. Get rid of these bastards.

Say what you will,
Submitted by Jer on Mon, 11/01/2010 - 12:37am.
Say what you will, KC...
But the fact remains that in the latter part of 2009, a solid majority of Americans favored a "significant" reform of our health care system--and Obama had explicitly campaigned on a pledge to do just that and was expected to make good on that promise.
Never in my lifetime has any piece of major legislation been so widely discussed and debated and the prinicipal provisions of which have been so well known by so much of the public--and so thoroughly demagogued by its opponents.
So the coming Republican majorities can repeal it. I won't shed any tears. Too many compromises crippled the bill anyway. My question is what will the Republicans replace it with? They conveniently forgot their promises to enact systemic fixes in the 90's after defeating HillaryCare. What are their plans this time?

A "solid majority"
Submitted by UpNorth on Mon, 11/01/2010 - 1:51am.
may, and I emphasize may, have favored "health care reform" in '09. However, when the one guiding the legislation through the house, where revenue bills are suppose to originate, tells us that we have "to pass the bill so we can see what's in it", that is not what a "solid majority" of citizens wanted.
Death panels, a figment of your imagination. Wait, maybe not so much. A tax on selling your house to pay for this? A figment of your imagination, well, maybe not so much. Health care for illegals? A figment of your imagination. Maybe not so much, after all. Because no one has yet figured out what this bill says, and how Obama's Czars will implement it.
So, no, the "principle provisions" of this bill aren't so well known, are they?

Significant reform, maybe
Submitted by ckc1227 on Mon, 11/01/2010 - 1:53am.
Significant stupid reform, no. They may have wanted reform, but not reform that makes things worse, or that makes them property of the state.
"My question is what will the Republicans replace it with?"
Nothing, as long as Obama is president. They won't be able to. Defunding it and maintaining the status quo is all they can do until 2012, but even that would be better than the joke that is Obamacare.
But that's the wrong question anyway. Neither party should be replacing anything, they should be removing things, and getting the hell out of the way.

Hate to tell you this, Jer
Submitted by KC Mulville on Mon, 11/01/2010 - 2:15am.
I don't have so much love for the GOP party either. They're closer to what I want, but they're a long way away. My guess is that, left to their own devices, the old GOP would half-bake their way out of the pie contest. That's why I'm hoping that that tea party will kick the new GOP in their elephantine ass.
Here's how I would like the game to be played. Sure it's a fantasy, but a mick can dream, can't I?
- Go to the people. Make a show of it. Instead of imposing a policy decision, bring the decision to the client. I would go to the people and openly say, look, the Democrats tried to shove their ideas down your throats. We get the message. This is your money, and this is your government. We'll work with you to come up with an approach. Instead of a sweeping comprehensive program that no one can figure out, let's go one step at a time, and build reform brick by brick.
- Then, I'd schedule a bunch of town halls. Have your reps show up and lead conversations. It doesn't matter what answers you come up with - so long as they come from people, not from staffers of liberal Democrats.
- In other words, don't go to town halls to sell the answers you came up with in Washington. Instead, go to the town halls first, get some consensus, and sell that to Washington.
And instead of doing it for show ... do it for real. Talk with your district about what to do. Get their buy-in, as the sales division loves to say. But don't do it as a fake. Actually work with your people.
I think that's how the game is supposed to be played.

You and KC are both smart as a whip. But I disagree with his fundamental premise. This election is absolutely about jobs. If the unemployment rate were 6% and dropping, the Dems would still lose some seats, but they would retain control of the House and the Senate would be a cakewalk.

You really should get out more.
I am looking at a pos in the Oval Office whom I despise with a passion.
Him, his administration, his minions, his supporters, liberals, Democrats; hell, I don't even like his wife.
Basically, while I don't mind following the rules, I do not like being lied to. Obama is a liar. ObamaCare is nothing more than medical welfare for the worthless turds who have always been worthless turds, too lazy to work and provide for themselves.
I am sick to death of supporting, through onerous taxes, those kind of people.
I am livid with rage that some empty suit in Washington, D.C., is gonna tell me I will be fined or jailed if I don't have medical insurance or policy papers to wave in the face of one of 16,000 new IRS agents who might come around to check on my "medical status".
To hell with Obama, screw the Democrats, and all the liberals running amok can kiss my butt.
It is NOT about jobs.
It is about venal dolts like Bawney Frank and Chris Dodd and airheads like Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer.
Some of the D.C. Democrats are criminals; all are sucking up oxygen that they, as low-lifes, do not deserve.
You say, "This election is absolutely about jobs."
It manifestly, is not.

Sorry, Jer, but those "facts" that you claim to deal in will be revealed to you in no uncertain terms in a few hours. The "facts' say that your president lied to the country when he presented himself as the "post-partisan" candidate who eschewed "partisan politics as usual". He assured us that he would reach across the aisle and include ALL ideas and opinions in his decision making. Most reasonable, intellectually honest people would agree that the "facts' tell us that this man has proven to be the most partisan, vindictive, think-skinned and out-of- touch president in our nation's history. Of course the majority of people would say "jobs" would be their most immediate concern as an answer to a poll question. Have you thought what the majority answer might be if these polls had an option of "All of the Above"? Yeah, I thought so.

You agree with Matthew that the election is not at all about jobs?
No? I didn't think so. Because you know very well that while there are a number of concerns about Obama personally and politically, the paramount issue remains the state of the economy, and of the myriad economic conditions currently creating anxiety among the electorate, the level of unemployment heads the list.
I'm sorry if that fact doesn't quite fit your narrative.
By the way, brush up on some presidential history. Obama's not even close to being the most "partisan, thin-skinned, vindictive president in history."

I said this election is manifestly NOT about jobs, not, that it "is not at all about jobs".
You know full well that conservatives on these threads know that the economy and jobs are factors against Obama, but what you flat out either do not get, because you are a liberal, or choose not to see, because you are an Obama loving liberal, is that it IS about Ol' purple-lips looking down his nose at his "enemies", and then talking down AT them rather than to them.
You might consider that looking down your nose and telling a conservative "By the way, brush up on some presidential history", that you sound just as arrogant as that know nothing pos in the White House.
You continue with your liberal know-it-all attitude, and then wonder why most people at NBs refuse to throw warm fuzzies at you.
It is really not too hard to figure out.
While most liberals are clueless, it is those of you with a superiority complex who seem to garner the most dislike from conservatives.

Despite what you say, it would appear that you don't necessarily believe it.
While there is nothing wrong with returning heat or insults with equal ardor, failing to realize that it is primarily your liberal political agenda that sets you up for criticism at NBs appears to be a major blind spot for you.
You come across as disingenuous to the max.
You know full well what most of the regular conservatives here think about liberalism and liberals, and yet take every attack on liberalism, through you, as a bloody personal attack, even though it may have been you that initiated a post duel, however politely.
You are always johnny-on-the-spot with your refutation of anything stated by a conservative, and react with lightning speed to any criticism of liberal or Democratic policy, and yet every single time you are reminded that you should expect nothing in the way of a sit down-sing along- get along approach from regulars here, you take offense.
You are a liberal mouthpiece, and your pompous liberal projection is what draws fire.
You, of course, feel that you always present your case with admirable politeness and restraint.
Believe me when I tell you that is your perception as opposed to actuality.
What you don't notice is that many of your posts are condescending, smug, and reek of intellectual superiority.
That just begs for retaliation.
Don't believe me? Ask around.
It is a tad difficult to be a buckler of swashes while presenting a "I know better than you" facade, when you say you are being cordial and civil, but make an additional point of not being Jewish. :^)

You mean ask the opinion of those who are predisposed to agree with you and take it as irrefutable proof? Why don't we choose a more credible and eminently more fair approach--one in which you provide specific examples of my engaging in the "smug, condescending" behavior you describe, and one in which the examples are of an unprovoked, gratuitous and arrogant effort on my part to project a reeking air of personal superiority over the poster to whom my comment is addressed. It should be an easy task since you say there are so many of my posts of that character.
Frankly, Matthew, I will be amazed if you can produce just one. Because contrary to your contention, I don't take attacks on liberalism as "bloody personal attacks". I never have. I take attacks on my person as a personal attack, and in those instances I may let it slide, or I may retaliate in a manner I think appropriate, and that's what I'll continue to do.
But, the ball is in your court. Track is back. Prove your case.

As this is a conservative site, just what kind of response would you expect from conservatives?
Your liberal take is nothing more than that, a liberal take, on your part, on a conservative site.
Don't believe it?
Ain't my problem.
Take your "more credible and eminently more fair approach", fold it five ways, and stick it where the sun don't shine.
Your liberal blinders and blindness absolutely prevent you from a fair and credible take on conservatism, regardless of how loudly you beat the drum claiming otherwise because you stick up for the other side on occasion.
The fact I am conservative proves my case, against you, a liberal, just fine in my mind.
You see only what you choose to see.
You miss entirely the point that your condescension comes from a height you only aspire to; you don't reside there. You just cannot see that what you often present is inflammatory to a conservative, regardless of what you profess.
What you perceive as reasonable doesn't necessarily resonate well with conservatives.
Odd that you can spot me as a conservative attack machine, but can't see why you are a liberal criticism magnet on a conservative site; you simply do not come across as reasonably as you like to think you do

What's the Possibility of an Earthquake in Mississippi and How Should the State Prepare?By Lawayne Childrey | Published 14 Mar 2011 05:19pm |
Possibly tens of thousands of people have died following last week's earthquake and tsunami in Japan. In Mississippi It's been almost 200 years since a major earthquake hit the state. But as MPB's Lawayne Childrey reports a major seismic event could occur in or near the state at any time.
The massive earthquake that hit Japan left much of the country in ruins with blackouts, fires and giant tsunamis. While this quake is certainly horrific Mississippi Emergency Management Agency Director Mike Womack says there is no real way to know how different it is from the great quake of 1811.
"We do know that the shake was bad enough that it caused the Mississippi to run backward for a period, created a large lake, Reelfoot Lake. It was very significant but there were very few people that lived in the region. And if it was to happen today estimates are that a lot of the major bridges across the Mississippi would be damaged or destroyed and certainly we'd have a lot of widespread power and water and sewer outages."
Experts say a strong series of earthquakes along the New Madrid Seismic Zone that runs just northwest of Mississippi was to blame. But Michael Bograd, State Geologist with the Department of Environmental Quality says there have been many earthquakes centered within Mississippi from all parts of the state. He says the strongest earthquake with its epicenter in Mississippi occurred in 1931 near Batesville, with a magnitude of 4.7.
"That's the intensity in which you can start having damage such as cracked brick walls, unstable furniture toppled over. chimneys twisted."
If a similar earthquake were to happen in Mississippi today Womack says there would be major concerns.
"What we're very concerned about is that people won't know what's going on. They won't take the advice of dropping to the floor getting under a table because most of your injuries are things falling on you."
MEMA will ask citizens to participate in a10 state earthquake drill next month. Lawayne Childrey MPB News.

text: As many of you may already be aware The North Face has released their new line of light material polo shirts. I was initially not quite sure how to respond. I have owned them in the past and to be honest they were nothing special. Just another way to display my dedication to a particular brand. This year's version looked too good to be true and my previous experience with "too good to be true" was in fact too good to be true. Needless to say I purchased two of them. Immediately upon wearing them for the first time; I realized that a sacred line was crossed. The new North Face polo has gone beyond simple clothing. This may go down in history as one of the most important creations mankind has given birth to. Several times while walking out the door I turned around because my basic senses convinced me that I was wearing no shirt at all. A simple glance down revealed that the unbelievable awesomeness was still draped upon me. I then began to think of how this could affect the polo shirt market in general. It could now only be defined by two categories: North Face and "other". Is that a violation of monopoly laws? I do not know. I am but an aging frat guy, not a lawyer. The ability of the light material to keep me comfortable and cool during the upcoming summer months would be apparent to even the simplest of fools. What happened next would not be. The morning was still cool, and wearing my new North Face polo, I was prepared to brave the chilly air in hopes of a warmer afternoon. The following event can only be described as "unnatural." The light, comfy, and beautiful North Face polo somehow realized that the air was cool and began to keep me warm. How could this be? Then it hit me. The origins of this North Face polo could not be of this world. Roswell. Rowsell, New Mexico. Area 51. What else could it be? The aliens must have been wearing polo-like clothing made of this same material. Is this a hint? Is this the government's way of slowly letting the general population know that we are in fact…not alone? It must be. Has to be. Buy one. Even if you don't wear polo shirts. Upon the aliens return, this very well could save your life.

CANTON, Ohio (AP) - A lawsuit questions whether Ohio law requires criminal fines to be paid to counties or allows judges to direct that money elsewhere, such as to the Connecticut community where a gunman killed 20 students and six adults.
Attorney Craig Conley filed the lawsuit Friday in Stark County on behalf of a taxpayer challenging a judge's decision to send a $5,000 fine to the Newtown school support fund. The money was paid by a former high school basketball coach convicted of videotaping boys in a locker room shower.
The lawsuit argues criminal fines must be paid to counties by law and judges can't redirect that money.
An administrator with the prosecutor's office says the judge has immunity and tells The Repository in Canton the case is a "waste of time."

Senior Citizen Who Paid Price for Purloined Pigskin Lays Lawsuit on Nettlesome Neighbors
Posted Apr 1, 2009 5:40 PM CDT
By Brian Sullivan
For someone who "just wants to be left alone," as her attorney puts it, Edna Jester might be going about it the wrong way.
The 88-year-old resident of Blue Ash, Ohio, first gained notoriety in October by refusing to return a neighbor boy's football that landed in her yard. Police were called, and Jester was arrested, then taken to the station and charged with petty theft. The charge was later dropped.
In December, Jester filed a lawsuit in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court against neighbors Paul and Kelly Tanis, alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress because of the number of objects thrown into her yard since October.
"It's our belief that some of it is deliberate," says Jester's attorney, H. Louis Sirkin of Cincinnati. "It's certainly preventable."
Sirkin says the October incident was preceded by other occurrences of trespassing, even though Jester has a "No Trespassing" sign posted.
"The area has state-of-the-art recreational facilities," he says. "It's a problem of disrespect."
Kelly Tanis was quoted as calling the lawsuit "very silly," but the mother of five said she worries that she and her husband cannot afford a lawyer. Sirkin says the couple is considering relocating.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages.
Update: The Associated Press reported March 11 that Jester dropped her lawsuit.

Could the Chiefs lead the league in rushing yards this season?
The more I think about it, the more I think this is very possible. As I was looking back at last season's rushing stats for the Chiefs and for Thomas Jones, it got me very excited. I don't know if i forgot or what, but i did not remember that Jamaal almost rushed for a 6 yards a carry! Now do I expect to have him repeat that? Of course not. But i do know he has a great chance of rushing for over 5 yards a carry. What also shocked me was how few carries Jamaal had. He did not even have 200 carries, yet still rushed for well over 1000 yards.Jamaal is going to get a lot more carries and would not be shocked if ran for almost 1500 yards. The Chiefs finished 11th last year in rushing. 11th! We finished pretty high for having a terrible offense line, at best. And i think we could all agree our offensive line is better than last years line.It will take time for the line adjust to the way Charlie wants to scheme, but once they get over situated, this O-Line could be very solid.
My next reason to thinking the Chiefs could lead the league in rushing is the addition of TJ. Do i think he is going to have the 3rd most rushing yards at the end of the season? Not a chance. But i will go out on a limb and say I do think he will have more than 10 TD's.
Projections: JC - 260 att, 1400 yds, 9 tds, 5.3 yd/a
TJ - 175 att, 715 yds, 12 tds, 4.1yd/a
After saying all of this, it is all up to Charlie Weis. Charlie loves to throw the ball around the field. So it will also depend on how well Matt Cassell is throwing the ball. I'm just very excited to see how everything plays out.

"My cards turned out great. The colors are fantastic. I thought the wording/title went nicely for my situation... a VERY late new year's card. I liked that it didn't say Happy New Year on it."
"I really liked my cards, and the people who received then had very favorable comments. The only thing I would change would be the ability to add text boxes where I want them and to make the text box larger if I need it to be."
"This design was exactly what I was looking for. The message was sweet and evocative. The handwritten font is right on trend. And the background colors complemented by photos beautifully. The printing was beautiful and the colors of my photos matched the originals, which doesn't happen with other resources. The website was easy to navigate and the preview function was spot on. I had no surprises... except that my cards arrived BEFORE the due date. Kudos to Tinyprints."
"I couldn't be happier with this card! I've been sending holiday cards through Tiny Prints for several years and have always been impressed with the quality of the products but I have to say that this card is my very favorite of all! I love the bright colors and unique design and how every photo just naturally blended beautifully with the rich color palate. This is a very busy time of year for me at work and Tiny Prints makes it possible for me to send cards to friends and family by offering the "address and mail " option, saving me precious time that I can't spare. It's so worth it!"
"Had a hard time choosing just one photo. Love the layout of the photos and the striped back. Ordered our cards on Mon, received them Wed. The pictures looked just like our proof amd we were proud to share them."

PATCHOGUE, NY – OCTOBER 3, 2011 – The Criminal Justice Club at St. Joseph's College is pleased to welcome Robert Goldman, J.D., Psy.D., co-author of No Room for Vengeance, to its Long Island Campus on Thursday, October 13. Dr. Goldman will give a presentation on restorative justice and sign copies of his book at 12:40 p.m. in the Board Room.
"St. Joseph's College Criminal Justice Club is honored to sponsor a book-signing event with Robert Goldman's book, No Room for Vengeance, which explores the restorative justice ideology in both philosophy and practice," said Barbara Morrell, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Criminal Justice Department at St. Joseph's College. "The time has come to become smarter on crime, not tougher. Not only is it not economical, but there is quality research that confirms that other approaches to crime work better."
Robert Goldman connected with Victoria Ruvolo to write No Room for Vengeance. In 2004, Ms. Ruvolo was injured when a 20-pound frozen turkey was thrown through her windshield by then-teenager Ryan Cushing, shattering every bone in her face and nearly killing her. In the spirit of restorative justice, Ms. Ruvolo asked for leniency for Cushing, who received six months in jail and five years probation, instead of the initial possibility of 25-40 years incarceration. In their book, Dr. Goldman and Ms. Ruvolo tell the merciful story and explain different approaches to criminal consequences.
Dr. Goldman is a clinical psychologist for the Suffolk County Probation Department and is a consultant for its Thinking Errors, Anger Management, Social Skills and Talking Empathy (TASTE) Program, which focuses on juveniles in Suffolk County. He holds a Psy.D. degree in School-Community Psychology from Hofstra University and is the founder of Psychological Restorative Solutions, P.C., a corporation that develops programs that facilitate peaceful resolutions to conflict and promote personal growth.
This event is free and open to the public. A light lunch will be served. For more information, contact Dr. Barbara Morrell at 631.687.4582 or visit www.sjcny.edu.

Bill McKibben: Energy Enemy Number One
Bill McKibben, who has been called "the nation's leading environmentalist," is leading a movement to destroy the fossil fuel industry, which he calls "Public Enemy Number One." This is the signature issue of his mega-popular organization 350.org under the names "Do the Math" and "Fossil Free."
As an energy researcher who knows the indispensability of the fossil fuel industry to my own life and billions of lives around the world, I am doing whatever I can to stop this movement.
My Debate with Bill McKibben
Earlier this month I publicly debated Bill McKibben in order to make the case that his quest "to cut our fossil fuel use by a factor of 20 over the next few decades" is pseudoscientific and suicidal.
Throughout the debate I stressed four points:
- For the foreseeable future, fossil fuels are the indispensable source of the abundant, affordable energy that human flourishing depends on.
- The proven science about climate illustrates a mere half-degree warming in the last 70 years, including virtually no warming in the last 15–McKibben's claims of catastrophe are based on the extreme speculation of climate prediction models that can't predict the climate.
- The overall impact of fossil fuel use and the technologies it powers has been to make our climate dramatically safer–climate-related deaths have fallen 98% since 1920.
- The world desperately needs more energy–3 times as much if everyone is to get to the same level as Germany–and yet McKibben is calling for 95% of fossil fuels to be illegal.
Readers should watch the debate and draw their own conclusions, but from my vantage point the thing that struck me most about McKibben's approach was that he was intellectually and emotionally indifferent to the fundamental importance of affordable, abundant energy.
Sloppy Thinking: From Organic Farming to Solar and Wind
For example, in agriculture, where oil and natural gas are the difference between abundant food and mass-starvation, I said:
If Bill McKibben came here tonight…and said, my conclusion is we should ban 95% of food, you would say that's crazy. But he is saying we should ban 95% of fossil fuels–which is the food of food. Without fossil fuels, billions of people will starve. There is no evidence to the contrary and so to cavalierly talk about that is just…really, really irresponsible because these are real lives. These are people who if we do the wrong thing, they will die and ultimately you know you will suffer too but this people will die and one thing we know is that modern industrial fossil fueled agriculture saves billions of lives. And what Bill is saying would take them away.
McKibben's response was to cite a single paper declaring that in one region "organic yields were essentially equal to this point to yields from conventional farming."
One thing striking about this was his willingness to equate one cherry-picked paper with an objective big-picture analysis–when the stakes are the very survival of billions of people.
But another, even cruder error, is to ignore that "organic" agriculture uses immense amounts of fossil fuels. Unless McKibben has a study to show that men with shovels can equal the production of men with tractors.
This pattern repeated itself time after time–McKibben would rationalize his radical, ruinous prescription with offhand sloppiness.
He exhibited the same sloppiness when discussing the alleged replacements for fossil fuels: solar power and wind power. Since McKibben uses Germany as an exemplar of a "green energy" future, I pointed out that Germany has not replaced a single coal plant with solar and is building over a dozen new coal plants–because solar and wind are nowhere solving their intractable problems of unreliability.
McKibben responded that the unreliability problem, which has rendered solar and wind energy failures for more than 75 years, was no longer a problem–offering as evidence a story he read in that morning's news.
Renewables really work. There is nothing speculative anymore about them. In fact, and again this is why it's important to listen to dates and to evidence, there's a report this morning from the German ministry, energy minister, Stephan Kohler, who works of course in the conservative government of Angela Merkel that the country will easily beat even its own ambitious plans for renewable energy and generate more than half the country's power that way by 2025 and perhaps as high as two thirds.
Let's leave aside the fact that, whatever McKibben read in the morning paper, Germany has no energy ministry and therefore no energy minister. McKibben is completely misrepresenting Kohler; see this recent interview with Kohler in which he says: "They say that we could replace power plants operated with fossil fuels by adding more renewable energy sources. My response to them is: It won't work."
Further, McKibben, knowingly or not, is regurgitating what amounts to energy accounting fraud. The German government and others cannot replace reliable coal plants with unreliable solar panels and windmills, but to garner international praise they inflate their numbers by pretending that the sun shines 24 hours a day and the wind blows 24 hours a day.
If Bill McKibben were engaging in pseudo-journalism and pseudo-science and pseudo-economics on some obscure blog, I wouldn't care. But, as I reminded him more than half a dozen times during the debate, he is an intellectual superstar using his enormous platform to call for 95% of our most important source of energy to be outlawed, which, on the basis of everything we know, would ruin billions of lives. Every time I raised McKibben's stated goal, he dodged the issue, at most voicing empty platitudes such as "I never said it would be easy."
Tell that to the ambitious young Chinese man who, had nations followed McKibben's past guidance, would have never gotten his first light bulb, his first refrigerator, his first decent-paying job.
Tell that to the Indian mother whose child would have died of starvation were it not for that country's fossil-fuel-powered agricultural revolution.
Enemy of Energy
Bill McKibben is Energy Enemy Number One. And he's particularly dangerous because he is taking the moral high ground against fossil fuels, which is the most powerful rhetorical position to have. But he does not deserve that high ground, and we who value affordable, abundant energy need to take it away from him.
The 350.org movement to morally condemn the fossil fuel industry needs to be outmatched by a movement to morally champion the fossil fuel industry and the energy industry more broadly (McKibben opposes the vast majority of nuclear and hydro). We at the Center for Industrial Progress are starting such a movement. Join us.

Very well stated Alex. Though our problems are not with the individuals who are able to see the logic of your argument, it is only by presenting the case for abundant energy as it applies to human well-being that it is possible to preserve a modern lifestyle. The McKibbens of this world are a lost species of non humans but their 'pied piper' effect must be undone if we are to have a chance. Please continue the fight, gs

Man qua Man is McKibben's enemy. Call out evil when you see it. McKibben is too intelligent to be misguided…he's purely evil.

Smart post. I think one needs to be more forceful in debates of this sort.
Here's an article from a couple of years ago, which says many of the same things:

McKibben sounds more like a cultist than an "intellectual superstar". Maybe he is tring to take Al Gores job as the Elmer Gantry of enviromentalism.

Alex's approach to the energy debate is unique and powerful. The more debates the better. Let's hope a bunch of them are held in 2013!

You reminded me of a key talking point. The major threat to energy sustainability is statism, which would make McKibben the #1 threat to true energy sustainability.

Hi Alex,
Your second point above is really the crux of this whole argument. McKibben isn't setting out to reduce fossil fuel use for fun, he's doing it because the world's weather will be profoundly affected by CO2e emissions. He spends his 10 minute opening statement laying out the evidence upon which he's basing his concerns and calls for action.
At the beginning of your opening statement, you set aside all of McKibben's points en masse by saying you didn't want to respond to them. That's a… unique way of arguing. But refusing to engage evidence doesn't help the audience understand reality any better. You implied that McKibben had taken some evidence out of context, but provided no specifics. So one comes away from the debate not knowing: Do you accept all of his evidence, but disagree on the prescription for some unknown reason? Do you not accept some of it due to individual problems? Do you reject all of it due to a fundamental problem? (That last one seems unlikely, given the range of sources, but hey: I'm a completist.)
So, my question for you: what evidence would you require to convince you that we needed to take McKibben's advice and make these frankly huge CO2e cuts? And why does McKibben's evidence not rise to that level?
Once your audience knows which evidence you accept or dispute, they can make their own decisions about which of you to trust. I for one won't be making my choice based on party or who seems like the nicer guy.
- 11 NoFreeWind { 12.04.12 at 10:09 pm }
it's real simple. Solar is a couple times more expensive than fossil, and of course it only creates electricity, not heating (except bath water maybe) nor fuel. A big reason solar is expensive is because it takes a tremendous amount of fossil fuel to mine the solar panel materials, and construct and install them. Since solar is at the very least a factor of 3x more expensive than traditional sources, I surmise that there is more fossil used to create the solar energy than we use if we had just burned fossil in the first place. Those enormous bulldozers and dump trucks don't run on hot air. (doesn't Bill watch Gold Rush to see what mining is all about??)
Wind is less expensive so it uses less fossil to create, but the problems of intermittency are so great that they likely negate any benefit to using wind. Again, all that is lost on Bill and his ilk. It's never even allowed to be considered.
- 12 Joel { 12.07.12 at 6:45 am }
Alex, I'd like to thank you for making me more aware of the dangers of not using fossil fuels. However, I'm curious as to how your argument reflects, and indeed seems to contradict, the objectivist philosophy.
The core of your argument was utilitarian in nature, as the figure you opened with ? which suggested that over the previous century "climate danger" decreased as fossil fuel use increased ? equates to considering the question 'do fossils fuels give rise to the greatest good for the greatest number?'. If one accepts this to be true (putting aside the fact that correlation doesn't imply causality), the issue here is how can it be determined who is benefiting from these fuels and who is losing out?
I'm not claiming to personally object to this utilitarian perspective, I just wanted to point out that Ayn Rand herself condemned the "the greatest good for the greatest number" as "one of the most vicious slogans ever foisted on humanity", believing it to be a powerful cover for mass exploitation. Instead she believed that every man is an end within themselves and exists for his own sake — that no man should offer themselves as a sacrifice for others, and neither should any man feed off the sacrifices of others.
You made little attempt to counter McKibben's arguments regarding how fossil fuel based industrialisation are making the world's environment a more dangerous place to be — rather you argued that technological progress can protect us from the changing climate. In fact, your analogy that 'we wouldn't ban fire because of the smoke' implicitly acknowledged that hazards are associated with the use of fossil fuels.
But the problem with applying this analogy to fossil fuels is that the 'smoke' and the 'heat' (i.e. the benefits and hazards) do not originate from the same point, and hence there is no guarantee that the recipients of each will be the same.
So the question I have arises because your argument effectively condones that some people can be used as a means to the end — the end being the progress of humanity in the industrialised world. In which case, how much human sacrifice do you think is acceptable in order for industrial progress to remain unabated? If 100 benefit from fossil fuels while 10 people on the other side of the world die from their impacts is that ok? Could you put a number on this?
I feel that this is a fair interpretation of your argument, as your answer to the problem of the Maldives property and individual rights being damaged by sea level rise was that they should industrialise. You pointed out that the low-lying Netherlands can cope with being below sea level through development. But this is an unfair comparison: the Netherlands is embedded within Europe with access to all the natural resources it needs to industrialise, while the Maldives most abundant natural resource is fish and the nearest other land mass is India 350 km away. In addition, their economy is heavily based upon tourism, and industrialisation would compromise this.
And in any case, should the population not have the right to choose or abstain from industrialisation, rather than being forced into a particular path by a changing climate driven by the industrialised world?

Brendan Roberts is a famous Vinewood actor who can be heard on Intelligent Agenda with Mike Riley on Public Liberty Radio (PLR). Brendan seems to be very full of himself, and compliments himself from time to time. Brendan is working on ending global warming, and wears a t-shirt when he is on PLR that has a slogan or image of ending global warming on it. He has acted mostly in action movies, including one where he is on the Los Santos Freeway and is being chased by a giant monkey (calling it "a nice quiet character piece.") Projects include Flowerman and Family Interrupted. At the end of his interview, he says "Kifflom", which suggests that he is a follower of the Epsilon Program. Roberts seems to be a parody of successful actors from the late '80s and early '90s, most blatantly Tom Cruise (his sunny disposition and involvement in a controversial religion clues denying he is gay). His name could be a reference to 80's/90's action stars Brandon Lee and Eric Roberts.
Roberts also appears physically in Grand Theft Auto V. He appears in the mission Deep Inside as the star of a new action movie Deep Inside. Franklin Clinton knocks out Roberts and steals his clothes in order to gain access to the set and steal a JB 700. During this mission, the player has the option to kill Roberts by hitting him with the car while escaping.
He is voiced by Chris Gannon in Grand Theft Auto IV.

MONROE, La (KNOE 8 News) -
The 5th District Congressional Special Election is winding down.
At 7:30 a.m., candidate
Vance McAllister cast his vote. With his family by his side, McAllister said he
feels good during these final moments of his campaign.
"I woke up this
morning with piece of mind knowing we did everything we could do. And we are
putting it in the good Lord's hands and it will be his will what we do tonight and
I will know which way to go," McAllister said.
Over in Columbia, it was a
similar scene as Neil Riser took his family to the polls.
"We feel confident. We
have all our supporters out. I've been out knocking on doors and making phone
calls this morning," Riser said. "I had early vote, but me and my wife and
daughter went by the poll and voted a while ago."
Their mornings may have
started at the polls, but the candidates say they're finishing out their day by
covering as much of the fifth district as possible.
"We are going to go
to Oak Grove, where I was born and raised. I kind of think you finish up where
you started," McAllister said. "We are going to come back and hit Ouachita and
make the whole rounds and try to end up in Alexandria and West Feliciana before
the night is over. And I will boogie it back over here and see what the results
Riser will head back to
Columbia to wait out the election results.
"The rest of the day
I will be continuing to ask for votes and I will be back here at the museum
waiting on election returns and we will go from there," Riser said.
The polls close in the
fifth district at 8 p.m.

Tribes to Share Traffic Safety Success Stories at Summit
FLANDREAU, S.D. – South Dakota Indian tribes will share traffic-safety success stories during the 2nd Annual Tribal Transportation Safety Summit on Oct. 26-27 in Flandreau.
The opening session of the two-day summit offers each of South Dakota's nine tribes a chance to share a transportation safety best-practice or success story. That could be a law enforcement effort, a highway safety program or some social program that is improving transportation safety on that reservation.
The summit also will focus on traffic-safety programs, resources and assistance available to tribes from various state, federal and nonprofit agencies and groups. One goal of the summit is to address specific tribal transportation safety issues and gain a better understanding of the needs of each South Dakota tribe.
At the first Tribal Transportation Safety Summit in Lower Brule last year, participants discussed ways to obtain more consistent crash data from reservations and identified pressing roadway safety issues in Indian Country.
"Last year's summit was an important first step toward improving safety of all highways in our state,'' said South Dakota Transportation Secretary Darin Bergquist. "I know tribal leaders are extremely concerned about traffic fatalities and highway safety. It takes all of us working together to make a difference, and I look forward to continuing our dialogue.''
The summit runs from 1-5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 26 and from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Oct. 27. Further information is available from the South Dakota Department of Transportation website http://www.sddot.com/pe/projdev/traffic.asp

Automotive history was made this week in 1996 when General Motors unveiled the first mass-produced modern all-electric car. It was called the EV1, and many of its components were built in Southern California, where GM figured most of these cars would find a market. Six years earlier, in 1990, the company introduced a prototype version of an electric vehicle, the Impact, to great acclaim. You can see some footage of that car by clicking on the first video pane.
After several more years of R&D, GM began building the EV1. It was a two seat coupe that looked a lot like the Impact. Its electrical energy was stored in old-fashioned lead acid batteries, but just about everything else in the car was newly-developed. The cars themselves were virtually hand-built. Our news crew was there for the rollout at an L.A. auto dealership. Click on the second clip to see the footage.
The EV1 proved to be immensely popular. Demand outpaced supply. An easy claim, since GM built fewer than 1,200 of the cars. Also, the EV1 only was available in California, Arizona and Georgia. One other catch: they weren't for sale. Drivers only could lease them for a limited term. GM said the lessees were part of a rubber on the road engineering trial, and the company wanted the EV1s back after a couple of years for evaluation. Many customers, however, didn't want to give back the cars. They sent in checks, made public pleas and virtually begged the company to extend their leases or let them buy the cars. No go. Eventually, GM took back all of the EV1s and, with the exception of a few dozen, which were sent to colleges and museums -- including the Smithsonian Institution -- all of the remaining vehicles were destroyed.
Now, more than 20 years since GM announced it would build an electric car, electrics and hybrids are a common sight, especially in California. Automotive research firm Polk says that while electric vehicle sales comprise less than three percent of all car sales nationwide, California leads the country in the sale of all-electric and hybrid vehicles. The percentage of electrics sold in the "Golden State" is closer to 11%.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
As our celebration of New York's fashion talent was winding down, a blowout of the city's artistic talent was just getting started in Rome with New York Minute, an exhibition of 60 downtown artists curated by Deitch Projects' Kathy Grayson. Yes, 60 artists. The big show stretched across two football field-sized nineteenth-century slaughterhouses repurposed as a public museum called Macro Future. You could probably guess some of the names here. You know, your Dan Colens, Ryan McGinleys, Terence Kohs, and, of course, the now-sainted Dash Snow. Also of note: Jim Drain and Ara Peterson's kaleidoscopic spinning pinwheel installation (pictured above) as well as work from Aurel Schmidt and Ben Jones. The show opened on Saturday night with over 3,000 visitors grooving to A.R.E. Weapons and DJ Spencer Sweeney. For the show, exhibition designer Rafael de Cárdenas utilized a whole host of Canal Street booty: 1,000 feet of mirrored street-grate-patterned Mylar, 4,000 feet of pennant flags, and 40,000 feet of neon tape, which was woven into a pop-up shop for Aaron Bondaroff's stock of downtown zines, limited-edition artist tees, and CDs. "Rome is not a city known for contemporary art," notes de Cárdenas. "But it was a total spectacle with kids and families. People loved it."
Macro Future Museum, Via Emilio Reggio 1, Rome; New York Minute runs through November 1, 2009.

|5-hour ENERGY® en Español
5-hour ENERGY® Contest winners
Announcing the October 2010
The Grand Prize Winner, Matt Bellner submitted a photo via the 5-Hour Energy Website of a fully lit Christmas tree constructed entirely of empty bottles of 5-Hour Energy. In response, the 5-Hour Energy Guy made Matt's holiday season a little brighter by awarding this over-achiever with 365 bottles of 5-Hour Energy - a big enough stockpile to last an entire year. We can't wait to see what he does with all of these empty bottles come next December!
Want to know how Matt did it? Well, fortunately for you, he documented the entire process and produced a short video using the footage. Check it out!
The second and third place winners of the "Where's your 5-Hour Energy Shot" contest also took home prizes. Chris Burns earned himself a six-month supply (180 bottles) of 5-Hour Energy shots by crafting and wearing a 5-Hour Energy shot costume. How did he pull this off? Chris tells us here:
"I sent the image to a printing company to blow up. Then I went to a fabric store and bought red felt, three wooden rings and poster board. I wrapped the felt around the wooden rings, cut the poster board to fit at the top, cut a hole in that for my head and holes in the felt for my arms, and glued on the front image and back image (nutrition facts). I also carried around about fifteen 5-Hour Energy [shots] to hand out."
Our third prize winner, Buzz Berry, is the host of a local game show and says he relies on 5-Hour Energy shots to stay energized and focused. It's a good thing we sent him 90 more bottles of 5-Hour Energy for his winning photo. As a caption to his submission, Buzz wrote:
