The Wall Street Journal editorial board defended the corporate bill mill American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in an editorial whitewashing the organization's climate change denial and vindicating their one-sided attacks on renewable energy.
This week, several large technology companies have left ALEC, which connects corporations, including many fossil fuel giants, to legislators. Just weeks after Microsoft ended its ties to the corporate bill mill for its attacks on renewable energy policies, Google chairman Eric Schmidt announced in an interview with NPR's Diane Rehm that his company would not renew its membership with ALEC, stating that ALEC is "literally lying" about climate change and that its policies are "really hurting our children and our grandchildren and making the world a much worse place." Facebook, Yelp, and Yahoo quickly followed.
In response to the fallout, The Wall Street Journal defended ALEC and demonized Google in a September 26 editorial, claiming that "ALEC takes no position on the substance of climate change." This echoes ALEC's recent statement refuting the claims of climate change denial and defending their position on climate and renewable energy policies.
But throughout the years, ALEC has made their denial of the scientific consensus on climate change clear. Their climate change model bill -- one of many bills that the legislative members later push through state legislatures -- declares that "human activity" may lead to "possibly beneficial climatic changes," going on to say that climate change influences "may be beneficial or deleterious." Yet consensus reports have found that the negative impacts of global warming will far outweigh any potential benefits. This falls in line with ALEC's stance on the consensus itself -- at its most recent conference, the organization featured the Heartland Institute's Joseph Bast who claimed that "there is no scientific consensus on the human role in climate change." The organization also featured a document called "Top 10 myths about global warming" on its website for years, including as a myth that "human activity is causing the earth to warm," according to Forecast the Facts and the Center for Media Democracy. And in their most recent statement on climate change, ALEC continued to undermine the consensus, writing: "Climate change is a historical phenomenon and the debate will continue on the significance of natural and anthropogenic contributions."
None of this was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal editorial.
The Wall Street Journal went on to defend ALEC's nationwide attacks on renewable energy, another driving force behind Google and others dropping their membership. The Journal derided Google's many investments in wind and solar projects for "kill[ing] birds," an argument that falls flat. Statistics show that renewable energy's impact on bird deaths is miniscule compared to that from buildings, urban light, cell phone towers, and even cats -- and is far outstripped by bird deaths from other energy sources, as seen in this chart by U.S. News and World Report:
Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Dana Perino are giving speeches "sponsored by" major fracking companies while pushing for fracking on Fox.
The conservative commentators spoke at the Shale Insight 2014 conference on September 24-25. The two-day event was organized by the Marcellus Shale Coalition (MSC), an industry lobbying group that advocates for the "development of natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica Shale geological formations." MSC members include Chevron, Shell, and ExxonMobil subsidiary XTO Energy. The group spent over $900,000 on lobbying in Pennsylvania during the first quarter of this year.
MSC announced at the conference that it's launching an advertising campaign to combat negative connotations about fracking, the controversial method used to extract natural gas from shale rocks. MSC president David J. Spigelmyer said at the conference that "Folks have tried to hijack that word and paint it as something negative ... It's our effort to take that word back."
Both Perino and Hannity's speeches were sponsored by major energy companies.
Conservative media figures have been attacking climate change policies by claiming that they would harm the poor. But their feigned concern contradicts previous attacks on aid for the poor -- and the climate policies in question would actually help developing countries the most.
On September 23, President Obama spoke at the United Nations' climate summit to call for strong international action on climate change. His remarks were immediately met with mockery and criticism in conservative media, with Rush Limbaugh and Fox News' Greg Gutfeld claiming that climate action would hurt the poor. On Fox News' The Five, co-host Gutfeld complained that climate action is a way for "rich people" to "deny" resources to others, going on to say "there are no poor people in this fight." And on the September 23 edition of Limbaugh's show, Rush ranted that climate change regulations are going to keep "[t]hird world countries" poor:
LIMBAUGH: Do you know who these climate change regulations, this dream of limiting carbon emissions, do you know who it'll really affect? Third world countries are going to be kept poor. They are not going to be allowed economic growth.
So all of these things Obama and his buddies are dreaming about would keep poor people poor, and never allow them to make their way up.
But Limbaugh and Gutfeld -- and many conservative media pundits -- have a history of attacking policies that would help the developing countries for which they claimed to express concern. Limbaugh previously denounced United States' international aid efforts, lamenting that the U.S. is "practically the only one loaning any money" despite the fact that U.S. international aid programs at the time were less generous than some from other countries. Limbaugh also likened a United Nations Development Programme proposal to finance global problems to "rap[ing] the U.S. for $7 trillion."
Meanwhile, Gutfeld has mocked the serious security threat that small islands face from rising sea levels due to climate change, despite that many experts have determined that small islands "are expected to lose significant proportions of their land," and that many will become uninhabitable if global warming continues unabated. One such small island resident, Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner from the Marshall Islands, delivered a moving poem during the U.N. climate summit about how climate change could impact her child, and has impacted many nations already:
After hundreds of thousands of people participated in what may have been the largest climate change protest in history, National Review Online criticized the event, attacked environmental justice law that seeks to ameliorate health disparities, and misrepresented a study to argue "the effects of pollution on health have been exaggerated."
On September 21, an estimated 310,000 demonstrators took part in the People's Climate March, a multi-city event protesting inaction on climate change and its harmful effects on the planet. Although the Sunday news shows ignored this historic event, National Review Online was quick to condemn it. Editor Rich Lowry called it a "symbolic protest," questioned the settled science of the human causes of climate change, and dismissed advocacy on the dangers of climate change as "anti-industrial apocalypticism."
Lowry's NRO colleague Katherine Timpf specifically criticized protestors in Harlem who were calling for legal action that would protect communities of color from toxic pollutants, a type of civil rights advocacy that is based on decades-old precedent. Timpf complained that "environmental-justice legislation does more harm than good" because "demonizing corporations is not the best method for bringing economic development to a struggling city." Timpf also claimed that "the impact that pollutants actually have on poor communities is questionable," and because of that, she argued, communities of color should embrace the potential economic benefits that a pollution-causing factory might bring:
During one of the march-preparation meetings, the deputy director of the Harlem-based group WE ACT for Environmental Justice, Cecil Corbin-Marks, tells me he's fighting for "global climate policies that focus on the challenges that local communities are confronting."
"Not all communities have the same resources," he says. "People of color are disproportionately affected." He believes that world leaders must unite to stop destructive corporations from spreading the pollutants that sicken minority neighborhoods by causing asthma and cancer.
I don't support his cause. Am I callous and cruel? Am I just ignorant of the suffering of the residents of these areas?
"There is pollution, and it should be cleaned," Harry Alford, president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce says during an interview. "But to say that it's happening because of race? No. That's crazy to think corporations sit in boardrooms and design strategies to pollute races. That's Nazi stuff."
Politicians are responsible for keeping the neighborhoods clean, Alford says, so they're the ones who must be held responsible when they're not. All environmental-justice laws do is give these politicians more power.
Fox News contributor Steve Moore dismissed President Obama's U.N. address on climate change arguing that terror threats are "a security reason for the United States to develop our own oil and gas," ignoring a decade of warnings from the U.S. military calling climate change a national security threat and a terrorism threat multiplier.
On September 23, President Obama spoke at the United Nations Climate Summit calling for a more "ambitious" agreement to tackle climate change globally.
During the September 23 edition of Happening Now, Fox contributor Steve Moore complained that "the president is talking about climate change and reducing our output of oil and gas, when if we want to undermine and destroy the finances of ISIS and other terrorist networks, we should produce as much oil and gas and hurt them in the pocketbook":
But Moore's recommendations only serve to increase the threat of climate change by increasing our dependence on fossil fuels and undermining United States energy security. A report from the Energy Security Leadership Council determined that the addressing "the economy's heavy reliance on petroleum" is the key challenge for achieving energy security in the U.S.
Military officials have also warned of the negative impact of climate change since 2003. Most recently, the U.S. Department of Defense released the 2014 version of their Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) highlighting that "climate change poses another significant challenge for the United States and the world at large" and that its impacts are "threat multipliers" that "can enable terrorist activity." From the Review:
The impacts of climate change may increase the frequency, scale, and complexity of future missions, including defense support to civil authorities, while at the same time undermining the capacity of our domestic installations to support training activities.
The pressures caused by climate change will influence resource competition while placing additional burdens on economies, societies, and governance institutions around the world. These effects are threat multipliers that will aggravate stressors abroad such as poverty, environmental degradation, political instability, and social tensions - conditions that can enable terrorist activity and other forms of violence.
Moore, the Heritage Foundation's chief economist, also ignored a first of its kind statement from U.S. Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew, in which he labeled the threat of climate change as "one of the most important challenges of our time." Lew said during a September 22 interview on the economic costs of climate change, that "the economic cost of climate change is not limited to one sector of our economy. It threatens our agricultural productivity, our transportation infrastructure and power grids, and drives up the incidence of costly healthcare problems." Lew stressed that "global action is imperative, and it is a good investment in global economic growth."

The Wall Street Journal sandwiched their coverage of the largest climate change march in history between commentaries that cast doubt on global warming and the need for action, fulfilling the newspaper's trend of pushing harmful rhetoric against international climate negotiations.
On September 21, hundreds of thousands of people participated in the People's Climate March to raise awareness about the need for climate action. The New York City march, which was "by far the largest climate-related protest in history," received front page attention nationally and around the globe:
But the Wall Street Journal, headquartered a few blocks from the march, did not include their story on the action on the front page -- it was buried in the local section. Moreover, the paper criticized the march and cast doubt on the state of climate science, providing ammunition for critics to argue against climate action in the days ahead.
The day before the march, the Wall Street Journal published an op-ed headlined "Climate Science Is Not Settled," which cast doubt on the influence of human activities on global warming and argued for more debate about climate science's "uncertainties." Steven Koonin, former chief scientist of BP, claimed that the "climate has always changed and always will" to downplay the influence of human activities on climate change -- a favorite Fox talking point that is as inherently misleading as asserting that just because people have died naturally they can't be murdered.
The op-ed's flaws were broken down in a lengthy post from Climate Nexus. They explained that Koonin's extensive discussion about uncertainty ignores what those uncertainties actually entail, writing that the range of uncertainties will result in outcomes "from bad to worse." The Guardian's Dana Nuccitelli expanded that even the best case scenario will result in severe impacts, including "widespread coral mortality, hundreds of millions of people at risk of increased water stress, more damage from droughts and heat waves and floods, up to 30% of global species at risk for extinction, and declined global food production."
Moreover, Koonin's assertion that the "impact today of human activity appears to be comparable to the intrinsic, natural variability of the climate system itself" is false, according to Nuccitelli, as scientists have determined that human impacts have been the dominant cause of global warming since 1950.
Many experts say that the "uncertainties" around climate science are not an excuse for inaction, but rather should be looked at with a risk management perspective -- an apt description, as many top insurance companies are incorporating climate change into their long-term strategies and calling for climate action. Koonin himself admitted this, but only after discussing uncertainties for the bulk of the piece. According to a study from the University of Oxford, focusing on what uncertainties remain on the basic premise of manmade global warming -- as Koonin did -- can denigrate public understanding of climate science and the need for action.
Climate Nexus and Nuccitelli both noted that Koonin's op-ed was (for the most part) technically accurate, but that his framing would lead readers to reach inaccurate conclusions. They were right: the op-ed was picked up the next day by conservative news site Newsmax.com, which asserted that Koonin's op-ed "strikes a blow against climate change activists." And the National Review Online cited it as a "pathbreaking piece" in an article claiming that the scientific consensus on climate change is "crumbling" and equating acceptance of climate change to "hysteria."
Sunday news shows on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and Fox failed to cover the People's Climate March, a massive protest against climate change being held September 21 in New York City in conjunction with events in more than 150 countries worldwide.
Meet the Press, Face the Nation, State of the Union, and Fox News Sunday ignored the event, which is being touted by participants as "the largest mobilization against climate change in the history of the planet." The Nation editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel briefly mentioned the march on ABC's This Week while arguing that national security concerns surrounding climate change are not receiving adequate attention.
Environmental group 350.org has estimated that "hundreds of thousands" of people will participate in the event. According to MSNBC.com, "participants include dyed-in-the-wool environmental activists, but also elected officials, union members, nationwide community organizing groups, LGBT groups, members of indigenous communities, students, clergy members, scientists, private citizens, and a plethora of other concerned parties" all representing 1,400 partner organizations.
While environmentalists and others march in New York, activists worldwide will participate in 2,700 events held across more than 150 countries. The march comes days before world leaders will meet on September 23 at the United Nations to hold a climate summit. United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will join marchers during the September 21 event in New York, saying at a news conference, "I will link arms with those marching for climate action."
Fox News host Sean Hannity promoted a new documentary on his show, suggesting it backs up his own views on energy. However, the film, Pump, calls for an end to America's "oil addiction," and makes several points that Hannity often fails to account for when pushing for more drilling.
On the September 18 edition of his Fox News show, Hannity promoted the new documentary Pump to call more drilling in the United States. He interviewed the film's producer Yossie Hollander and John Hofmeister -- former C.E.O. of Shell and current director of several oil and gas companies -- to discuss alternatives to oil that can be produced domestically. Hannity implied throughout the segment that their goals were in line, concluding by asking: "How many problems would we solve by doing what you guys are advocating? And what I'm advocating?"
But the message that Pump is trying to communicate is far different from Hannity's strong support for oil, according to reviews and clips from the film itself. Here are three things Hannity could learn if he watched the documentary Pump:
Hannity frequently touts domestic oil extraction and oil pipelines as ways to achieve energy independence. During the show, he asked his guests: "If we were to use our energy resources here at home, oil, gas, coal, all of these things, how long can we be independent?" to which Hofmeister responded, "We'd see ourselves through the century."
Yet on the film's website, a somewhat contradictory quote from Hofmeister is splayed on the homepage:
Pump describes itself as a "documentary that tells the story of America's addiction to oil," which currently provides 92 percent of the nation's transportation needs.
Hannity showed part of the trailer on his show, but cut it off right before the narrator stated: "Until we have a moment of truth with ourselves, this country is destined to not only be addicted to oil but addicted to all the terrible trappings that come with oil."
A flagship report found that acting on climate change and improving the economy go hand in hand, which was reported by business media outlets across the globe. But three prominent outliers left their audiences in the dark: CNBC, Fox Business, and The Wall Street Journal.*
On September 16, many major business media outlets from Fortune Magazine to BusinessWeek reported on a recent analysis finding that the next 15 years are essential for acting on climate change, and that it is possible to do so while simultaneously growing the global economy. The report, titled "The New Climate Economy" and carried out by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, refutes the "false dilemma" between economic growth and climate change mitigation -- an important finding for businesses that want to thrive in the decades ahead. From Reuters:
Investments to help fight climate change can also spur economic growth, rather than slow it as widely feared, but time is running short for a trillion-dollar shift to transform cities and energy use, an international report said on Tuesday.
Yet the report was ignored by three prominent business media outlets -- a disservice to their business audiences who deserve to know the economic risks of global warming. The outlets that ignored the findings of the "New Climate Economy" report may not come as a surprise: CNBC, Fox Business, and The Wall Street Journal all have a sordid history with reporting on climate change.
When the "Risky Business" report was released earlier this year -- another report detailing the economic costs of climate change inaction -- CNBC was caught soliciting a writer to talk about "global warming being a hoax" to rebut the report's findings. The network's on-air coverage of "Risky Business" featured Squawk Box co-host Joe Kernen criticizing the acceptance of global warming as "Orwellian groupthink." Media Matters analyses found that CNBC misled their audience on global warming in the majority of their reporting on the topic in 2013.
Fox Business also regularly offers demonstrably false reporting on global warming. Co-hosts have often claimed that global warming is over, or even that we are in a period of global cooling. When the Risky Business report was released, Fox Business mocked its findings of heat-related mortalities and dismissed the report entirely as using "scare tactics."
Similarly, Wall Street Journal dismissed the findings of the Risky Business report, with its editorial board calling one of its authors' suggestions for a carbon tax as economically harmful as the 2008 financial crisis. The Journal has downplayed and dismissed the impacts of climate change and other environmental threats for decades, and gives a frequent platform to "skeptics" that urge inaction on climate change and dismiss the basic science behind the consensus.
The New Climate Economy was heralded by political leaders around the world advocating a transformation in the global economy. By ignoring it, these outlets are showing that their priorities are at odds with businesses that want to prosper in a changing climate.

The textbooks that Texas adopts influence those that are chosen by districts across the U.S., which makes it all the more worrying that several textbooks under consideration by the state misrepresent what scientists know about climate change. The distortions in these textbooks mirror the misinformation that has been pushed in Texas media that has contributed to this dangerous ignorance.
A recent review by the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) found that several textbooks under consideration by the Texas Board of Education, which includes numerous members who deny global warming, cast doubt on the basic fact that carbon pollution is driving climate change. National Journal explained that since "Texas is the second-largest market in the U.S. for textbooks after California," the textbooks chosen by the board could affect what publishers sell to states across the country.
Some of the misleading claims in these textbooks mirror the misinformation that has been pushed in the state's local media. For example, one textbook presents claims from the Heartland Institute, a climate "skeptic" organization that once compared those that "believe" in global warming to the Unabomber and in the 1990s denied the science demonstrating the dangers of secondhand smoke, as equally credible to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which assembles hundreds of scientists to review thousands of peer-reviewed articles on climate change. Some Texas media have similarly treated the Heartland Institute as equally or even more credible than the world's top scientists. For example, a news reporter for the Houston talk radio station KTRH hyped a Heartland Institute report when it was released in April 2014 with the headline "New Report Debunks Climate Change," and in May 2014 turned to the group to rebut an actual scientific report on climate change that was reviewed by a National Academy of Sciences panel. An on-air host at KTRH has also called global warming a "scam."
Other news outlets in Texas have also misrepresented climate science. For example, an East Texas Fox affiliate, KFXK, aired a commentary on September 9 that falsely claimed Arctic sea ice has "expanded":
Fox News lambasted local Texas schools' implementation of Meatless Mondays as anti-scientific "propaganda" that won't improve the environment. But several scientific studies show that reducing meat from the average diet brings considerable environmental benefits.
Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Todd Staples has been railing against the implementation of "Meatless Mondays" in several Texas elementary schools as "agenda-driven propaganda," and he continued his campaign on Fox News' September 15 edition of Fox & Friends. The lunch programs, taking place in several Texas and California schools, will serve vegetarian meals on Mondays, giving students the option of bringing their own non-vegetarian lunch as well. Staples berated the program as an "agenda-driven campaign" that's "really not sound science," and co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck agreed, wondering, "Why should our children be subjected to such propaganda?" And when co-host Steve Doocy asked Staples if Meatless Mondays are "brainwashing," Staples answered: "Clearly, it is," suggesting that it will not be "better for the environment":
Far from "brainwashing," the idea that eating less meat is better for the environment is based on sound science. Many studies show that meat production places a substantial burden on land and water use and contributes substantially to the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change. A United Nations agency determined in 2013 that the agricultural sector is the third greatest contributor to global warming, largely due to livestock production. A 2014 study of over 50,000 United Kingdom residents found that switching to a meatless diet can cut an individual's diet-related carbon footprint in half. A study published in Climatic Change also found that greenhouse gas emissions for meat-eaters are substantially higher, meaning that "if agricultural emissions are not addressed ... meeting the climate target [is] essentially impossible" according to science news website Phys.org. Moreover, according a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a non-vegetarian diet uses "2.9 times more water, 2.5 times more primary energy, 13 times more fertilizer, and 1.4 times more pesticides," as a vegetarian diet, concluding that "[f]rom an environmental perspective, what a person chooses to eat makes a difference."

Cool concepts. Nice art.,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Nuthin' But Mech: Sketches and Renderings (Taschenbuch)
Nuthin' But Mech is the book from the blog of the same title. The blog was founded by Lorin Wood and has been updated regularly by a group of talented artists, of which 31 are featured here.
This 128-page paperback features a nice variety of mech designs. Many are weapon equipped mechs but there are also those for utility purposes, some animal inspired designs and two that actually play basketball. These are all original concepts from the artists. As with mech designs, there are lots of details to see.
The art is top notch. Only a handful of pages are devoted to 3D models and renders. The rest are painted, some with sketches.
The book mentioned that this is the first installment so there's more to come.
Highly recommended to those who like robots and mech designs.
(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

This is how crazily anticipated Star Wars: Episode VII is: On Friday morning, an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin is screening the new teaser trailer not just before every movie, but also in a separate stand alone screening where it will play 17 times in a row. Each screening will be followed by two minutes of discussion by a panel of Star Wars experts who will go into increasingly detailed minutia analysis about what's on the screen during those precious 88 seconds. Joked EW's Darren Franich: "Dear God, I hope it's just one long shot of the Millennium Falcon."
You never know — director J.J. Abrams' first teaser for the Star Trek reboot just showed the USS Enterprise. Darren will do a deep-dive analysis of the trailer on Friday that you won't want to miss, but in the meantime, let's hope the teaser trailer is more trailer than teaser; a montage of mind-blowing Star Wars childhood-reawakening jaw-drop-into-popcorn moments instead of singularly focused on one scene. Below is our ultra-idealistic Star Wars trailer Top VII ultimate wish list. This is entirely too much to ask from an 88-second teaser, yet it's also what the eventual first full trailer, and even the film itself, will hopefully pull off.
From least to most important (and there are no spoilers here from the purported leaks): READ FULL STORY

Do you have gas & bloating?
Does it seem that every time you eat certain foods you get gas and feel bloated? For many people, foods such as beans, vegetables, whole grains and pasta can be hard to digest properly. These foods contain starches and sugars that, if not broken down completely in the intestines, can ferment and may cause gas, bloating or flatulence, especially if your body lacks the enzymes needed to break down these types of food. Taken with meals, Gas Stop can help provide the relief you are looking for.
Gas Stop is an advanced digestive enzyme blend formulated to help break down gas-forming foods in the intestines. Natural ingredients work together to enhance digestion and help relieve occasional gas, bloating and pressure.
Gas Stop combines the natural digestive power of plant-derived enzymes with the soothing properties of fennel seed for fast, effective relief.
Multi-Enzyme Blend: Alpha galactosidase, phytase, amylase, cellulase, and more help break down the hard-to-digest starches and sugars found in beans, cruciferous vegetables, legumes and grains.
Fennel Seed: The soothing properties of natural fennel seed relax the digestive tract lining and may help relieve occasional indigestion and reduce flatulence.
Suggested Use
Take 2 capsules before a meal or snack containing problem food(s). May take additional capsules as needed.
Other Ingredients

Sir Albemarle Bertie, 1st Baronet
|Sir Albemarle Bertie, Bt
|20 January 1755
|24 February 1824
Donnington, Berkshire
|United Kingdom
|Royal Navy
|Years of service
|1760s to 1812
|Royal Navy Admiral
|American Revolutionary War
• First Battle of Ushant
• Loss of HMS Fox
French Revolutionary Wars
• Glorious First of June
Napoleonic Wars
• Capture of Mauritius
Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath
Admiral Sir Albemarle Bertie, 1st Baronet, KCB, was a long-serving and at time controversial officer of the British Royal Navy who saw extensive service in his career but also courted controversy with several of his actions.[1]
Bertie won recognition for unsuccessfully defending his ship against superior odds in the American Revolutionary War. He was later criticised however for failing to close with the enemy at the Glorious First of June and later for pulling rank on a subordinate officer just days before the capture of the French island of Mauritius and taking credit for the victory. Despite these controversies, Bertie was rewarded for his service with a baronetcy and the Order of the Bath, retiring in 1813 to his country estate at Donnington, Berkshire.
American Revolutionary War[edit]
Albemarle Bertie was born in 1755 and much of his childhood is undocumented. It is not even clear when he entered the Navy, although he was gazetted lieutenant in December 1777 aged 22, quite a bit older than most of his contemporaries. Within a year of promotion, Bertie had witnessed combat on a repeating frigate at the First Battle of Ushant, a brief and inconclusive action which resulted in a court martial for Admiral Hugh Palliser, a court martial at which Commander Bertie (as he by then was), was called on to give evidence in 1779.[1] The intervening two years had been highly eventful, Bertie spending most of it as a prisoner of war in France after his frigate HMS Fox had been taken by the larger French Junon.[1]
Following his exchange and appearance as a witness, Bertie spent two years without a ship, due to the shortage of available positions for young officers during the American Revolutionary War. In 1782, after a change of government, Bertie was reinstated and made captain of the small frigate HMS Crocodile. He remained in service throughout the 1780s, marrying Emma Heywood of Maristow in Devon. Emma predeceased him and the couple had two daughters, although nothing is known of his marriage, including the date.[1]
French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars[edit]
In 1790 at the Spanish armament, Bertie gained command of the frigate HMS Latona before progressing to captain of a ship of the line, HMS Edgar in 1792. The following year he took over HMS Thunderer in Lord Howe's Channel Fleet. With Thunderer and Howe, Bertie participated in the Atlantic campaign of May 1794 and the culminating Glorious First of June. Howe omitted Bertie from his dispatches of the battle and Bertie was not awarded a commemorative medal like many of the other captains. His failure to close with the French fleet was later cited against him.[1]
For the next ten years Bertie remained with the Channel Fleet on uneventful blockade duty, serving under Sir John Borlase Warren and commanding HMS Thunderer, HMS Renown, HMS Windsor and HMS Malta on this duty.[1] In 1804, Bertie was promoted to rear-admiral, climbing the ranks over the next three years until he was senior enough to become admiral in charge of the Cape of Good Hope station off South Africa.[2] Bertie served off South Africa for the next two years, suddenly sailing in late 1810 to take over the operations to invade Mauritius and seize it from the French. Most of the fighting had already been concluded by Admiral William O'Bryen Drury before Bertie's arrival and Drury was furious at Bertie's behaviour, writing several strong letters to the Admiralty in protest.[1]
Bertie returned to Britain in 1811 and endured a brief political storm over his actions at Mauritius, which had been criticised by his fellow senior officer on the island Lord Minto.[1] Angered, Bertie requested court martial to defend his conduct but was firmly refused by the Admiralty, which did not wish for another scandal. A change of government the following year changed the political situation however and Bertie was returned to favour and presented with a baronetcy as reward for the capture of Mauritius, Drury having died in the meantime.[1]
Retiring to his country estate at Donnington in Berkshire, Bertie continued to be promoted post-retirement, finishing as a full admiral. He was also made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath on the restructuring of the orders of knighthood in 1815. He died in 1824 after ten years retirement. As he had no male heirs, his baronetcy became extinct.[1]

The System For Switching To SystemD In OpenSUSE
Published on 10 June 2011 10:28 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
7 Comments
While Fedora 15 may be the first Linux distribution to deploy the systemd start-up manager en mass, it's not the only distribution that's looking to take advantage of this new FreeDesktop.org project. There's packages also available for Debian, Gentoo, Arch, and even Ubuntu (although
Canonical has no plans to use systemd over Upstart
). In fact, originally
systemd was going to be used in openSUSE 11.4
until it wasn't mature in time so then it got bumped to the next release. Now that
development has begun on openSUSE 12.1
, it's time to get the systemd support ready.
OpenSUSE 12.1 will likely ship with systemd as its default init daemon rather than SysVInit, thanks to
all of the systemd features
it has over the competition. Frederic Crozat, an openSUSE developer, has blogged about
the road to systemd for openSUSE 12.1
The path to switching init managers is pretty much as expected: first manually try using systemd over SysVInit to spot bugs and various issues, then install the systemd package by default, and lastly to replace sysvinit init scripts with systemd unit files.
Converting all of the sysvinit scripts to being systemd scripts won't all happen before openSUSE 12.1, as is acknowledged. Even with Fedora 16 there still are some sysvinit scripts that need to be converted over following the Fedora 15 switch. This is not just a distribution-specific problem but something that should happen upstream.
However, there is a goal in openSUSE 12.1 of having all init scripts on the GNOME/KDE LiveCDs as having "native" support without SysVInit. When installing these LiveCDs, they too should supply native scripts. Lastly, the GNOME/KDE DVDs should also switch over to be free of sysvinit files.
OpenSUSE 12.1 is scheduled for an official release in mid-November.

My husband and I are very appreciative to Ed Karlander for all his help in the swift sale of our house.

Ratings & Reviews
Ed was extremely helpful in my home buying experience. I could not have had a better realtor! He happily and patiently showed me homes during my very short time frame. During showings, he pointed out the practical pluses and minuses - while I was gawking at the pretty lights or where the sunshine rays came into the house. With Ed's assistance, my experience was smooth and easy. I can't speak highly enough of Ed, and you won't be disappointed partnering with him for your realty needs.
Ed and his team listened to our needs and were extremely responsive. They helped us negotiate a great deal on a home in the exact area we wanted to live. We are thrilled to be in our new home.
Ed is the epitome of a Real Estate professional. His ability to read a client AND PERFORM CALMING EXERCISES IS UNSURPASSED. ED NEVER FALTERED, FOCUSING ON THE GOAL at all times. His ability to finish the sale are beyond comparison. He has the ability to see obstacles, overcome them, while making sure the problems never concern the client.
Ed and his team were amazing in helping find and purchase our first home. They were very professional and worked diligently to get us our home. We started in November looking at homes. We put multiple offers in, but had no success. Not to fear, Ed and his team continued to work for us. We closed on our home in the end of May. Without Ed, I do not think that would have happened.
I'm happy that everything went smoothly and my apartment got sold much faster then I thought it would....and at a good price. Ed certain knows what's going on in the market. I benefited from his knowledge and expertise.
Ed Karlander has vast experience and knowledge of the local real estate market. He is very thorough and professional, and approaches every real estate listing with a well thought out strategy. He recently helped me sell my Safety Harbor house for significantly more than the asking price. The house had been listed for only one month. Ed also has lots of useful contacts (tradesmen, inspectors, insurance agents, etc.) as well as a strong support staff. Whatever your real estate needs are, I am confident that Ed Karlander can provide useful advice.
I was very impressed with Ed and his team. Very professional and extremely helpful. Moving to a different state can be quite challenging and there were a lot of bumps in the road! But Ed was able to help me work through all of them with positive results.
Would highly recommend him and his team!
My husband and I had very good experience working with Ed and Judy his partner. Whenever we had a question or a concern they would immediately respond. They made us feel comfortable working together. The sale of our home went smoothly. We would definitely use them again.
I was looking for property in Florida from across the country and needed someone with local experience and able to work with me three time zones away. Ed and his assistant Judy were very responsive to my many questions. Ed also assisted us in the post sale process in making our move to our new Florida home more comfortable and less stressful. I highly recommend Ed and his associates for his experience, professionalism and prompt, expert answers to many questions. Thanks Ed and Judy.

Details continue to emerge on the killing of the 17-year-old Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. According to ABC News, the lead homicide investigator at the crime scene called for manslaughter charges against Martin's shooter, George Zimmerman, on the night of the shooting. In an affidavit, the investigator, Chris Serino, said he had doubts about Zimmerman's account. Serino was overruled by the state attorney's office, which accepted Zimmerman's claim of self-defense.
Trayvon Martin's Parents Address Hate Crimes Panel
On Tuesday, Trayvon Martin's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, testified before a House panel on hate crimes and racial profiling.
Sybrina Fulton: "Trayvon was our son, but Trayvon is your son. A lot of people can relate to our situation, and it breaks their heart, just like it breaks mine. Thank you for everything."
Tracy Martin: "I would like to say thank you to everyone who is supportive of our family, everyone who has helped us stand tall in this matter, everyone who's holding the legacy of Trayvon and making sure that he did not indeed die in vain. I'd just like to say thank you, and he's sadly missed, and we will continue to fight for justice for him."
Also speaking at the hearing were Congress Members Cedric Richmond of Louisiana and Frederica Wilson, who represents the Florida district where Trayvon Martin lived.
Rep. Cedric Richmond: "I, as a member of Congress, I, as a black male who wear a hoodie, I, as a black male who buy Skittles and walk down the street drinking iced tea all the time, I am Trayvon Martin."
Rep. Frederica Wilson: "This investigation is laced with racial profiling, lies and murder. Trayvon was hunted, chased, tackled and shot. Ill-conceived laws and lax gun laws all contribute to this tragedy. In closing, Mr. Zimmerman should be arrested immediately for his own safety."
In the New York legislature, a number of legislators wore hoodies in session, including New York State Senator Eric Adams, a former New York City police officer.
EPA Proposes Greenhouse Gas Limits for Power Plants
The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed the first-ever limits on greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants. Under the rule, new power plants would be required to keep emissions under 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide for every megawatt hour of electricity. While Republicans are vowing to fight the measure for going too far, some environmental groups have criticized the Obama administration for exempting existing plants as well as allowing a number of loopholes. The rule exempts pollution from burning biomass and also grants waivers to plants that use carbon capture and storage technology, whose efficiency is under dispute. In a statement, Greenpeace USA called the new rules "welcome, but disappointing."
Afghan Soldiers Arrested for Plotting Defense Ministry Attack
More than a dozen Afghan soldiers have been arrested on suspicion of plotting a major attack inside the Afghan Defense Ministry in Kabul. The Defense Ministry was placed under lockdown on Tuesday after suicide vests were found inside its fortified compound. The arrests follow a spate of attacks by Afghan soldiers against members of the U.S.-led NATO occupation force. Afghan troops have been responsible for one-third of all U.S. troop deaths in Afghanistan this year.
Former Polish Intel Head Charged for Role in Secret CIA Prison
The former head of Poland's intelligence service has been charged with helping the CIA establish a secret prison as part of the Bush administration's so-called war on terror. Zbigniew Siemiatkowski is accused of violating international law by "unlawfully depriving prisoners of their liberty" for his alleged role in helping the CIA set up a secret prison where torture was used. The charges mark the first high-profile case where a former senior official of any government has been prosecuted for the CIA program.
Syria: Dozens Killed Despite Ceasefire Proposal
Fighting continues in Syria despite President Bashar al-Assad's public acceptance of a U.N.-brokered ceasefire plan. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says 31 people, including 18 civilians, were killed in nationwide clashes on Tuesday. Thirteen soldiers were also reportedly killed. At the U.N., Middle East envoy Robert Serry said up to 9,000 people have been killed in the year-long Syrian crackdown.
Robert Serry: "Violence on the ground has continued unabated, resulting in scores of people killed and injured. Credible estimates put the total death toll since the beginning of the uprising one year ago to more than 9,000. It is urgent to stop the fighting and prevent a further violent escalation of the conflict. Immediate steps are needed now from the Syrian government to act on their commitments and demonstrate to the Syrian people that they are ready for a cessation of violence and a political process, issues on which the joint special envoy will also engage the opposition."
Gas Could Flow for 6 Months in North Sea Leak
A major gas leak on an offshore platform in the North Sea near Scotland has spurred widespread evacuations amid fears of an explosion. The French energy company Total, which operates the platform, said it could take up to six months to stop the flow of gas.
Scientists Warn Global Warming Damage Will Soon Be Irreversible
Scientists are warning the world is on the verge of reaching critical thresholds where damage from global warming will become irreversible. One scientist called this "the critical decade" for curbing global warming, saying the tipping point for irreversible damage to polar ice sheets has probably already been passed. Research shows the world's temperature could rise by six degrees Celsius by the end of the century if greenhouse gas emissions continue to escalate.
Arizona Senate Votes to Ban Abortion After 20 Weeks
The Arizona State Senate has voted to ban most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The vote was 20 to 10, with one Republican joining Democrats in opposition. The measure now goes to Arizona's State House. Six states have passed similar abortion bans over the past two years.
Christian Militia Members Acquitted of Conspiracy
Seven members of a Christian militia in the Midwest have been acquitted on charges of sedition and conspiracy. The accused, part of a group called the Hutaree, were arrested two years ago for an alleged plot to spark a war against the federal government by planning to kill a law enforcement officer and then bomb the funeral procession. But on Tuesday, a federal judge in Michigan ruled the defendants' actions were protected by First Amendment rights to free speech. Two members of the militia still face less severe charges of possession of illegal weapons.
Jailed Environmentalist Moved to Isolated Cell
Supporters of the jailed environmental activist Tim DeChristopher are raising new concern about his treatment behind bars. DeChristopher is currently serving a two-year sentence for posing as a bidder to prevent oil and gas drilling on thousands of acres of public land. According to his legal defense fund, DeChristopher was recently removed from a minimum security prison ward into an isolated cell known as a "Special Housing Unit," or SHU. He reportedly shares the tiny cell with another prisoner and has been allowed outside of it just four times over a two-week period. DeChristopher's freedom to read books, write in his journal, and communicate with the outside world have all come under new restrictions.
U.S. Judge Bars Import of Death Penalty Drug
A federal judge has barred the importation of a drug used in executions of death row prisoners. On Tuesday, Judge Richard Leon of the Federal District Court in Washington ruled the Federal Drug Administration had unlawfully allowed sodium thiopental into the United States. The case was brought on behalf of death row prisoners in Arizona, California and Tennessee. In his ruling, Judge Leon chided the FDA for what he called "a callous indifference to the health consequences of those imminently facing the executioner's needle."
Gingrich Scales Back Campaign After Losses
Republican hopeful Newt Gingrich has announced he is scaling back his campaign, cutting back on appearances and laying off one-third of his staff. Gingrich has suffered a string of losses in recent primaries and has faced Republican calls to drop out of the race.
Report Finds Human Rights Abuses Near U.S.-Mexico Border
Amnesty International is accusing the U.S. government of systemic discrimination against Hispanics and Native Americans along the U.S.-Mexico border. In a new report, Amnesty says federal immigration programs operated with state and local police put "communities of color along the border at risk of discriminatory profiling." The report also finds indigenous communities along the border are "often intimidated and harassed by border officials for speaking little English or Spanish and holding only tribal identification documents." Amnesty says harsh policing is indirectly jeopardizing migrants' right to life, forcing them to trek through treacherous terrain that led to more than 5,200 deaths from 1998 to 2008. Amnesty is calling on the U.S. to suspend immigration enforcement programs pending a review.
JetBlue Pilot's Breakdown Prompts Emergency Landing
A JetBlue plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Texas on Tuesday after its captain apparently suffered a mental breakdown and accosted passengers on board. According to reports, the pilot emerged from the cockpit ranting about threats from Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan as well as urging passengers to recite the Lord's Prayer as he marched through the cabin. Four passengers restrained him while a co-pilot and another pilot who happened to be on board landed the plane.
ACLU: FBI Illegally Monitored Muslim Religious Activity
The American Civil Liberties Union has released records showing the FBI's San Francisco division collected information on Muslim religious activities protected by the Constitution. The FBI is banned by law from keeping records on people's religious practices unless there is a clear law enforcement purpose. But the ACLU said documents show the FBI violated that law and secretly stored records on Muslim religious groups.
NY Food Coop Rejects Israel Boycott Proposal
And members of a food cooperative in Brooklyn, New York, have rejected a proposal to hold a referendum on boycotting goods from Israel. The Park Slope Food Coop had drawn international attention for its debate on whether to join the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign, or BDS, demanding Israel end the occupation of Palestinian land and grant Palestinian citizens equal rights. At a general meeting Tuesday night, Coop members defeated the proposal by a vote of 1,005 to 653. In a statement, organizers behind the BDS call at the Coop said: "Despite our loss, we have succeeded in one of our goals. BDS has entered into the consciousness of thousands of Coop members and has even made it into mainstream conversations thanks to the huge amount of media coverage."

This might be a little corny, but I am so proud of this.....LOL
I got out of the shower and after drying off I wrapped my towel around myself under my arms and tucked it in....then took notice how the towel actually meets and slightly over laps at the bottom. I am so proud of the small things. But that is a great step in my weight loss journey.
I have been logging in to Speakpeople on a consistent basis for the past 18 day. I know that might not be anything to some people but I am SO proud of myself. I am trying to do better with health issues for me, because if I don't don't I am not any good to help others. I want to be healthier and more active and I am on my way!!!
I have been tracking my food with the help of my phone which a wonderful tool.
Well, I am back again to the thousandth time. I want to lose weight like I to do every year. I have been away from my sparkpage for a little while...but I have returned and I am surprised by the my numbers since I've last checked in. My weight isn't a bad as I thought it was going to be, don't get me wrong isn't not were I would like it to be. But get back on here and holding myself accountable.
Things I want to do to help me obtain a healthy life~
* Try to blog or journal
* Keep a food journal
* Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily
* Keep a positive attitude........ I CAN DO THIS!!!!!
* Move more if nothing else DANCE
Since today was my first day that I took the time to REALLY be on"sparkpeople" I am really proud of myself.
I tracked my food, water, veggie and fruit....I am slowly going to incorporate exercise even if it just the basics like sit ups, squats and some dumbbell work for my arms.
Well, its been awhile since I have been on here and man I didn't like some of the things that happened to me. I really liked the progress I was making and that really took at nose dive. I didn't realize how helpful the visualization of seeing my weight on the tracker was and I was more accountable when I signed in every day to sparks. Since not being on here I have gained 10 pounds. Man in that depressing!!!
But the good news is I am trying it again and I am going to just start being more accountable by writing down what I eat, even if I wish I would not have ate it. That is the first step I need to do and then I need to add small goals. I need to drink more water and less coffee. I also need to start exercising. which means would have to get up earlier in the morning and I need my beauty sleep!!!
I have to remember I am doing this for me and to set an example for my children to live a healthy active life.
I started riding my recumbent bike this week. Which has been a little difficult because I fell down the steps on new years day and bruised my tailbone really bad. The doctor told me it take a long time for tailbone bruises to heal. Well, two and half month and still have some discomfort. Thank God I don't have a desk job. But I am doing it with the help of pain pills and by sitting on a cushion. But I am proud that I am doing it.

Hello, I am just another genealogy gal that enjoys helping others when possible.
If there is EVER any information I am wrong with, PLEASE email me and I will change it.
My main family lines are Tolbert and Cook with their many branches.
If you wish a memorial to be transferred to you, TELL ME HOW YOU ARE RELATED to the person and I will definately consider transferring it. Of course, it all depends on if/how I might be related also. Even if you are not related, I will consider transferring if they are not in my direct tree. Once I transfer, you may do as you wish with the memorial.
Many of the stones that I photograph are not related to me at all. I just try to add as many as I can for someone else to find their relatives on findagrave. So please ask for the transfers if you want them.

More on Ovid McCracken
for his Ovid McCracken's bio if you would like to add it:
From Fort Knox Cemeteries by Sam McDowell (1973):
"Ovid's father was Cyrus who was born in Orange County, Ireland. He was a Revolutionary War soldier and a cofounder of Leestown, Kentucky. He had three brothers, William and Isaac, who were killed by Indians at Blue Licks, and Seneca. Cyrus was killed by the Indians in 1795. Ovid and his brother Virgil were in the battle of the River Raisin in the War of 1812. Virgil was killed there. McCracken County, Kentucky, was named for Captain Virgil McCracken. Harrod's Station was a settlement about six miles south of Fort Harrod."

I sent you an edit for Ovid McCracken's birth location. I was allowed to add the state and county, but not the location. You could add it to his bio if you want. He was born in Harrod's Station, an early pioneer outpost.

RE: Anna Cook memorial
Oops, I looked at the dates but must have mixed them up when I emailed you. I'm an archaeologist and have often dealt with this issue in terms of archaeological sites being duplicated, and the oldest, i.e. first to be recorded always takes precedence. My apologies, and I'll contact the other person...Thanks again for all you do for Find A Grave!
