Conservative author, filmmaker, and Fox News darling Dinesh D'Souza attacked President Obama as a "boy out of the ghetto" and "vulgar man" following the president's recent appearance in a BuzzFeed video promoting health coverage through HealthCare.gov.
On February 12, Obama appeared in a BuzzFeed video to promote the upcoming deadline to sign up for health coverage through the Affordable Care Act, a move that invoked the ire of conservative media.
Fox favorite Dinesh D'Souza responded to the video on February 18 by viciously attacking Obama on Twitter, writing "you can take the boy out of the ghetto...":
YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF THE GHETTO...Watch this vulgar man show his stuff, while America cowers in embarrassment pic.twitter.com/C9yLG4QoOK
-- Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) February 18, 2015
D'Souza followed up his initial attack:
I know Obama wasn't actually raised in a ghetto--I'm using the term metaphorically, to suggest his unpresidential conduct
-- Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) February 18, 2015
TRANSLATING FOR OBAMA GROUPIES: A guy without class doesn't become a classy guy, even when he's in the White House
-- Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) February 18, 2015
These tweets are just the latest example of D'Souza's attempts to build a career attacking Obama with racially charged agitprop.
Conservative media figures criticized the Obama administration for suggesting terrorism is tied to poverty, ignoring the fact that former President George W. Bush also explicitly cited alleviating poverty as a fundamental tool to fighting terrorism.
"It turns out the rich have suffered more than you," concluded Fox Business host Stuart Varney, after a new analysis found income inequality hasn't risen since the financial crisis.
According to new analysis from economist Stephen J. Rose of George Washington University, existing data points reveal that income inequality has not actually risen since the recession, due in part to income losses incurred by the wealthiest one percent during the financial crisis. As The New York Times explained on February 17, though income inequality is still enormously high:
[T]he crisis, which ran roughly from 2007 to 2010, reduced the pretax incomes of the wealthiest Americans more than the incomes of any group. The wealthy have indeed received the bulk of the gains since the recovery began, but they still haven't recovered their losses. Meanwhile, the steps that the federal government took in response to the crisis, including tax cuts and benefit increases, have mostly helped the nonwealthy.
Of course, income inequality is still at historically troubling rates, and could potential even worsen, as the Times repeatedly noted.
But Fox Business' Varney had a much different takeaway from the report. On the February 17 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, Varney cited the report to argue the recession hurt the rich more than others, saying, "The rich took it on the chin, everyone else took it on the chin, but not as badly." A data point for his argument was "for the very, very wealthiest people ... their income went from $39 million in 07 to 29 million in 2013." Though Varney acknowledged that income losses are felt more strongly by those with less wealth, he claimed that "government programs" made it so the lower and middle classes "didn't suffer quite as much as that one percent." He concluded, "It turns out, the rich have suffered more than you."

Early news coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign has tacitly allowed the GOP to disingenuously rebrand itself as a party of the middle class, despite the fact that the party's new rhetoric doesn't align with its policy positions that continue to exacerbate income inequality. When highlighting Republican rhetoric about the need to reduce income inequality, media should take care to hold the GOP accountable for its actions, not just its words.
Recent Gallup polling shows "two out of three Americans are dissatisfied with the way income and wealth are currently distributed in the U.S.," and Republicans have taken note. Prospective GOP presidential candidates have suddenly started talking about income inequality ahead of the 2016 elections, apparently heeding advice from the Republican National Committee's (RNC) post-mortem of the 2012 election, which warned that the GOP had been "increasingly marginalizing itself" and urged the party to improve its optics by recognizing the fact "that the middle class has struggled mightily and that far too many of our citizens live in poverty."
During the January 25 Koch brothers-sponsored Freedom Partners Forum, Republican Sens. Ted Cruz (TX), Rand Paul (KY), and Marco Rubio (FL) each took the opportunity to bemoan income inequality and blame the Obama administration for a growing income gap. Mitt Romney claimed that "income inequality had worsened" during President Obama's time in office in a January 28 speech at Mississippi State University, while Jeb Bush's "Right to Rise" PAC has declared that "the income gap is real."
The Washington Post, Politico, USA Today, and Bloomberg Politics each reported on the 2016 hopefuls' Freedom Partners comments, highlighting the senators' statements lamenting income inequality and focusing on "issues such as the minimum wage ... [and] tax reform." The Wall Street Journal featured Republican policy proposals "aimed at boosting the middle class," and applauded Bush, Romney, Rubio, and Paul for "promoting or seeking ideas for shoring up the middle class." The Post's Post Politics blog and NBCNews.com's "First Read" emphasized Romney's recent focus on income inequality and poverty, pointing to speeches at the RNC and Mississippi State University.
These media outlets acknowledged the fact that Republicans are changing their rhetoric on inequality -- but it's actions and policies that count, not just rhetoric. Media cannot take GOP candidates at their word when their policies continue to exacerbate inequality and burden the middle and lower class.
Cruz, Paul, and Rubio all oppose recent calls to raise the minimum wage. At a January 25 private donor event, each of these senators argued that raising the minimum wage would eliminate jobs. Cruz claimed "the minimum wage consistently hurts the most vulnerable," while Rubio called focus on raising the minimum wage "a waste of time." During the same event, none of the senators "said they could stomach any tax increases," and Rubio called the ACA a "perfect example" of "cronyism," blaming health reform for halting job creation. Just this month, Cruz introduced a bill to repeal the health care law, while Paul echoed calls to repeal and suggested instead to "try freedom for a while." Such positions are consistent with the GOP's historic stances on these issues. As MSNBC's Steve Benen noted, supposed Republican attempts to address income inequality, "in practice, ... apparently mean[] endorsing an agenda that cuts off unemployment benefits, slashes food stamps, cuts funding for public services, eliminates health care benefits, and rejects minimum wage increases."
Economists have often noted that wage stagnation has a profound impact on aggravating income inequality, and as the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) has pointed out, raising the federal minimum wage just to $10.10 per hour by 2016 would "raise the wages of 27.8 million workers." The Congressional Budget Office has also reported on the "ripple effect" of raising the minimum wage, saying it would benefit 16.5 million workers and lift nearly one million people out of poverty. And according to a Center For American Progress report, a $10.10 minimum wage would cut food stamp participation and taxpayer expenditures by $4.6 billion annually. Support for anti-poverty government programs -- like SNAP, unemployment benefits, school lunch programs, and the like -- cut the country's poverty rate "nearly in half," according to research from the Institute for Research on Poverty.
Rather than alleviating income inequality, lawmakers have worsened inequality by consistently cutting taxes on the wealthiest Americans, according to a 2013 EPI study. Economist Larry Summers has emphasized the importance of "closing [tax] loopholes that only the wealthy can enjoy," noting that would "enable targeted tax measures such as the earned-income tax credit to raise the incomes of the poor and middle class more than dollar for dollar by incentivizing working and saving."
And despite countless Republican attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the health care law will reduce income inequality, boost the incomes of lower and middle-class Americans, and extend coverage to 15.1 million uninsured adults with incomes at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty level.
Media acknowledging the GOP's new talking points and mottos is one thing. But given the 2016 hopefuls' apparent commitment to policies that stand in contrast to their rhetoric on income inequality, media should make sure and hold these Republicans accountable for their actions, not just their words.
Fox News pushed three food stamp myths in under five minutes, while hyping new statistics showing that 46.5 million Americans now receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) -- or food stamp -- benefits. Fox ignored the fact that raising the minimum wage would reduce the number of SNAP recipients, that experts agree marriage would not solve problems of poverty, that increasing numbers of college students are food insecure and need this government aid, and that undocumented immigrants are not eligible for SNAP benefits.
Right-wing media figures misleadingly attacked and dismissed the need for paid parental leave after President Obama's State of the Union speech advocated for expanding these programs to more Americans. In fact, economists have found that increasing paid leave would boost the economy, increase wages, and keep families out of poverty.
Fox's Bill O'Reilly downplayed the impact of raising the minimum wage, claiming only an"infinitesimal" number of people would be impacted, and ignoring the 27.8 million Americans that would benefit from a raise in the minimum wage.
During the January 20 State of the Union address, President Obama urged members of Congress to raise the minimum wage, saying those "who still refuse[] to raise the minimum wage, I say this: If you truly believe you could work full-time and support a family on less than $15,000 a year, go try it. If not, vote to give millions of the hardest working people in America a raise."
On the January 21 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly and network contributor Eric Shawn undermined President Obama's minimum wage initiative, and diminished the number of Americans that would be impacted by raising the minimum wage. O'Reilly asserted that only "a very low number" of people make "minimum wage anyways," claiming that the number of people who would be impacted by the change would be "infinitesimal" and saying Obama has been "misleading everybody" by insisting a raise would have a big effect:
But according to the Economic Policy Institute, raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour by 2016 would "raise the wages of 27.8 million workers, who would receive about $35 billion in additional wages over the phase-in period."
And according to a Congressional Budget Office report, the "ripple effect" of raising the minimum wage would benefit 16.5 million workers, and would lift nearly one million people out of poverty.
Coverage of the economy on weeknight television news shows during the last six months of 2014 continued to focus heavily on policies meant to boost job creation and economic growth, but discussions overwhelmingly lacked input from actual economists. Additionally, a Media Matters analysis uncovered a relative decline in the number of segments promoting the conservative media myths that Obamacare and increasing the minimum wage hurt the labor market.

Thousands of low-income Detroit residents denied access to water over delinquent bills did not find much sympathy from the hosts of Fox & Friends, who argued, "If you're not paying for water, why should you get it?"
The city of Detroit has shut off water service to more than 27,000 households this year, an effort to address the water department's more than $5 billion in debt in a city where over 50 percent of residents are delinquent on their water bill.
An estimated 2,300 homes are still without water, despite the fact that the city has established a payment plan for some who are unable to afford their water bill. The city says that 33,000 customers are currently enrolled. According to U.N. human rights officials who made an informal visit to Detroit, the water disconnection constitutes a human rights violation.
But to the hosts of Fox & Friends, the water shutoffs were more justified. Co-host Ainsley Earhardt said that it is "devastating" that several thousand Detroit families don't have water and that she's sorry they can't afford to pay their bills, but declared:
EARHARDT: Why is that any different than any other bill that we have to pay? You don't pay your car payment, you don't pay your house payment, you lose your car. You lose your house. If you're not paying for water, why should you get it?
The hosts condemned the U.N. officials' determination that the water shutoffs constituted a human rights violation, claiming the U.N. was making "a deliberate attempt to embarrass the United States."
Fox's indignation didn't extend to the commercial and industrial businesses similarly behind on their water bills -- as of July, the city had not reported which delinquent businesses had seen their service disconnected. According to recent reports, the Detroit Red Wings' hockey arena and the Detroit Lions' stadium owe tens of thousands in unpaid water bills but still have service.
Detroit's water shutoffs take the greatest toll on low-income residents, a significant number of people given that nearly 40 percent of the city lives below the poverty line. People are often forced to choose between paying for rent, electricity, or water, and the water department has recently increased the price of service by almost 10 percent. Beyond water being a basic necessity for life, the lack of access has other repercussions -- it could be grounds for child protective services to remove children from their homes.
Fox News hyped a Watchdog.org study purporting to show Colorado recipients of government assistance programs accessed the government funds from exotic, out-of-state locations, suggesting the recipients were on lavish vacations. But Fox's report failed to mention that the study found only two percent of withdrawals were made outside of Colorado.
An October 6 Watchdog.org report found that $3.8 million was withdrawn by Colorado recipients of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program (TANF), commonly referred to as "welfare," outside the state in the past two years. The study cited some of the more "exotic" places where these withdrawals had occurred, such as Las Vegas, Hawaii and the Virgin Islands.
Fox hyped the study on the October 8 edition of Fox and Friends. Co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck interviewed Colorado State Representative Tim Dore (R) about the report, asking him how he plans to "specifically stop this spending of hard-earned tax dollars on vacation spots and strip clubs?"
Later, Special Report host Bret Baier covered the study claiming "your tax dollars are helping welfare recipients enjoy vacations at some very exotic destinations."
But Fox's coverage failed to note that Watchdog.org's study found that out-of-state withdrawals represented just 2 percent of Colorado program recipients' ATM withdrawals, and only 1.7 percent of withdrawals outside states bordering Colorado. The purported abuse is even more absurd for the specific destinations Fox highlighted: the $6,451 withdrawn in Hawaii, for example, represents 0.003 percent of the $170 million total.
Fox has a history of hyping misleading stories to demonize government assistance. Last month, Fox & Friends falsely claimed that TANF money in Colorado was being used to buy marijuana, leading to the passage of two pieces of legislation in the United States House of Representatives.
From the September 19 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

Conservative media's lengthy campaign to demonize government programs by accusing low-income Americans of using benefits to buy marijuana has culminated in legislation being passed by Republicans in the House of Representatives this week.
Two bills linking government assistance for impoverished families to the legal purchase of marijuana are making their way through the Republican-controlled House. The Preserving Welfare For Needs Not Weed Act, proposed by Rep. Dave Reichert (R-WA) and passed by the House yesterday, aims to prohibit the use of electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards containing cash benefits from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program in stores selling marijuana (At this time, only two states, Colorado and Washington, have legalized the sale of the drug for recreational use). A second bill, the No Welfare For Weed Act, introduced by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), extends even further -- it aims to ban the purchase of marijuana with SNAP benefits, commonly known as food stamps.
These bills come on the heels of a concerted effort by Fox News and conservative blogs like National Review Online (NRO) to accuse low-income Americans of using government assistance to purchase recreational marijuana. One month after Colorado legalized the sale of pot, NRO alleged "welfare beneficiaries withdrew thousands of dollars in public-assistance cash from ATMs at weed shops" in the state, a report echoed by Fox & Friends co-host Eric Bolling, who asked, "Are food stamps now going to pot?":
BOLLING: Forty-seven million people are on food stamps nationwide. In Colorado, more than 500,000 are getting food stamps every month. Meanwhile, 348 shops are set up in Colorado to sell pot in the state. And food stamp cards have reportedly been used at pot shops, ATMs, at least 64 times in the short time weed has been legal in Colorado. So are food stamps now going to pot?
In 64 specific times, people used an EBT card to take out cash, presumably to buy pot.
Conservative media's accusation that impoverished families use food stamps and government benefits to buy marijuana, one they've continued to push for months, was echoed by House Republicans justifying their current proposals.
Presenting his bill on September 16, Reichert declared, "We are seeing new abuses of these benefits. In these states, a person can walk into one of the newly opened pot shops and use their welfare benefit card to pay for pot ... This isn't an idle concern. Report examining welfare transactions in Colorado revealed over $5,000 in welfare benefits were accessed in stores selling marijuana in the first month such stores were open."
The link between TANF benefits and pot purchases has yet to be established. In NRO's original report, the blog admitted it could not conclude that any TANF money has been used specifically for the purchase of marijuana, stating, "Some of these establishments sell groceries as well as pot, so there is no way to know exactly how much welfare money was spent on marijuana."
Notably, despite the House bill suggesting otherwise, food stamp recipients are only allowed to use benefits to purchase approved food items and are barred from purchasing alcohol, tobacco, and non-food items. The USDA makes clear that SNAP benefits can't be used to withdraw cash from ATMs (emphasis original):
SNAP benefits can never be withdrawn as cash. Many States allow clients to use a single EBT card to access SNAP as well as cash benefit programs such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). In most States, cash benefits from other programs can be accessed through ATMs.
The House bills evidence the influence of conservative media's lengthy campaign to shame and mock low-income Americans for accepting government assistance.

Lundberg Rice Chips - Sesame & Seaweed Chip
Posted by Reviewer3278266 on Jun 18, 2008
I have tried 3 flavors of Lundberg rice chips - the Sesame & Seaweed, Nacho Cheese and Fiesta Lime. The Sesame & Seaweed are by far my favorite. I could use extra salt in my diet so the amount of salt is not a deterrent for me. The flavor is a zesty mix of salty and sweet.
These chips are excellent!
Posted by Reviewer1341958 on Aug 12, 2008
I first bought these chips in my local supermarket and my family loved them. They have a unique flavor and crispness you can enjoy by themselves, or with your faviorite dip or cheese spread. My supermarket no longer carries this brand, so I was very pleased to have found them online. I now buy them by the case because everytime we have friends over and we serve these chips, they want some!

Food Waste To Energy
E - The Environmental Magazine
Dear EarthTalk: Might another possible source for ethanol be discarded pastries from bakeries? For that matter, wouldn't fermenting unsold bananas, oranges and apples from grocery store produce departments be able to provide an ample supply of fuel? -- Curious in Warren, PA
Food waste is indeed an untapped resource with great potential for generating energy. Some one third of all food produced around the world gets discarded uneaten, and environmentalists, energy analysts and entrepreneurs are beginning to take notice. Diverting even just a portion of this waste to so-called waste-to-energy (WTE) systems could free up large amounts of landfill space while powering our vehicles and heating our homes, and thus putting a significant dent in our collective carbon footprint. Perhaps that's why WTE is one of the fastest growing segments of the world's quickly diversifying energy sector.
Currently there are some 800 industrial-scale WTE plants in more than three dozen countries around the world, and likely thousands of smaller systems at individual sites. Most employ anaerobic digesters, which make use of microorganisms to break down and convert organic waste into a fuel such as biogas, biodiesel or ethanol. With some 70 percent of food waste around the world still going into landfills, there is a lot of potential feedstock to keep this environmentally friendly carbon neutral fuel source coming.
"Waste-to-energy doesn't involve drilling, fracking, or mining, and it doesn't rely on scarce and politically-charged resources like oil," reports RWL Water Group, an international company that installs water, wastewater and waste-to-energy systems. The waste from small slaughterhouses, breweries, dairy farms and coffee shops can power hundreds of typical homes each day if the infrastructure is in place to sort, collect and process the flow of organic material.
Navigant Research, which produced the 2012 report "Waste-to-Energy Technology Markets, which analyzes the global market opportunity for WTE, expects waste-to-energy to grow from its current market size of $6.2 billion to $29.2 billion by 2022. "With many countries facing dramatic population growth, rapid urbanization, rising levels of affluence, and resource scarcity, waste-to-energy is re-establishing itself as an attractive technology option to promote low carbon growth in the crowded renewable energy landscape," says Navigant's Mackinnon Lawrence. "China is already in the midst of scaling up capacity, and growth there is expected to shift the center of the WTE universe away from Europe to Asia Pacific."
The question is whether governments and individuals will make the effort to support diversion of waste into yet another separate stream. In areas where such systems are working, individuals are incentivized to separate out their organic and food waste because it saves them money on their trash pick-up bills. And bakeries, restaurants, farms, grocers and other big producers of organic or food waste provide an endless source of feedstock for WTE systems as well.
"We're barely scratching the surface of this potential—dumping over 70 percent of the world's food waste into landfills, rather than harnessing it for fuel and electricity," reports RWL. "Over the next 25 years, global energy demand will grow by 50 percent, while global oil supply dwindles at a rapid pace. Waste-to-energy is an obvious solution to meet the world's burgeoning energy demand."

Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

We had a wonderful time during our stay in Destin. There is plenty of space for a family of 6. The 2 king-sized beds and 2 full bathrooms are spacious and well-maintained. The kitchen has everything necessary to prepare simple meals. The only drawback is the clothes dryer. It did take a long time to dry our clothes, but it was still great to have the convenience of having a washer and dryer in the condo. There is no "wifi" in the unit. However, this service is available in the lobby. The condo has a fantastic pool area and if you prefer the beach, it is only a 5 minute drive! There is also free shuttle service offered to and from the beach. Local restaurants, shopping and a grocery store are also very close. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone searching for a great vacation spot!
7 day girls vaca was incredible. The condo is woderful. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare simple meals. Baths are well equipped with bath towels, wash clothes, and hand towels. We did need to get toilet paper, they only supply one roll in each bathroom. There is a small washer and dryer. Dryer can only dry a couple of towels at once. Our one draw back was no wifi. You can bring Ethernet cord but make sure it rather long. I promise you'll enjoy your stand here.
This Condo was exactly as described, absolutely lovely! It was a short walk from the beach and the property itself was amazing. Id recommend this to anyone and may return myself sometime soon. Thank You!.
Just got back from a wonderful week in Destin at the Palms condo. Wonderful facility, everything was exactly as pictured and described. We enjoyed the balcony in the morning and felt very much at home. Great location and close to everything, but still very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Owner was prompt and very easy to get in touch with. We took the free shuttle to the beach and had no problems. Kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. Grocery stores are plentiful and convenient. Biggest drawback was no Wi-Fi, which when traveling with teenage girls was a major disappointment and frankly very hard to believe that this service was not provided and the only reason I did not give this 5 stars. All-in-all, I highly recommend this condo, just be prepared to add extra data to your phone plan (and pack extra toilet paper, we kept running out)!
The condo was very very nice ! Just what we were looking for . The owner was very gracious and always excessable . The facilities are beautiful we enjoyed being in the heart of destin . I would definitely rent this condo again.
Brought our kids down for a family vacation and we had a great time. The room was ready upon our arrival and any questions I had, were promptly answered by the owner. Did not have any problems during our stay. One thing that I did notice from our last stay 2 years ago is that the Palms had better security and there was someone always walking around making sure people following the rules and keeping out anyone who was not staying there. We liked the beach but most of our time was spent poolside. I would recomend this condo as a great place to stay in Destin.

PM Says Britain Needs To Take Cuts 'Medicine'Sky News - 16 hours ago
In a round of interviews setting out a pledge to create two million extra jobs over the course of the next parliament, David Cameron admitted there were more cuts to be made but would not say where they would fall. The Conservatives have said they will find £12bn of welfare cuts over the next parliament if they are returned to power on 7 May but have indicated they will not tell voters of the details before the vote. Tackled on where the cuts would fall on Sky News Mr Cameron said: "The medicine is that we need to - for two more years - do what we have done for the last five, which is find £1 out of every £100 the Government spends and save it. Mr Cameron said that they had managed to find £20bn of welfare savings in the last five years. More »PM Says Britain Needs To Take Cuts 'Medicine'

It was a pity that a recent forum in Hong Kong on social reform went largely unreported. The "star" of the show was Lord Wei, the youngest, and only British-born Chinese, member of Britain's House of Lords. He advised Prime Minister David Cameron on his "Big Society" project to tackle social problems, and attracted controversy when he accused some charities of competing too much with each other and being out of touch with the public and donors.Friday, 19 April, 2013, 2:48am

Sizing for house about to be rewired
I'm doing a bunch of rewiring in a 6,000 square foot house. Last update was probably 1960, so while it's not a total disaster we will be running new wire often. It has 1 kitchen with a couple wall ovens and 4 heating zones which will be upgraded to AC as well. So the big question - 200 amp service or 400 amp? My guess is that getting NStar (my power co) to upgrade to 200 is not too hard. The service is underground and though it looks like 100 now, they probably are compelled to give me 200. 400 - I bet they charge and charge a lot. Simple load calculators say we need 180A, which seems too close to 200 to feel good about, but not sure if they assume only incandescent, etc.
Thanks very much for any thoughts.
I guess what I'm after is knowing whether those calculators are generally overkill. We may be adding non-storage gas water heaters, but does that hit electricity hard too? Electric vehicle... not likely in MA. :) But all good things for me to keep in mind. I'll price them both.
With a house that large, you may have trouble limiting your usage to 42 breakers. Yes, you could put in a subpanel to get extra slots for breakers, but nowadays, I would generally look at a couple of 200A panels (400/320 service), and be done with it.
I agree with what's been stated. But if you're going to the effort of a whole house rewiring, there's no reason to not sit down and calculate the loads PROPERLY. Other than that we're just making conjecture.
Frankly, I'd still put a 40A or whatever circuit into the garage. Even if you don't ever get an EV someday someone will put a welder or a pottery kiln or something out there.
It was after that incident that I decided I better get the building and plumbing codes and learn them as well as I knew the electrical code just in case. Found two cases that saved me some heartburn on those as well.
Tankless or not gas water heaters take only a few amps (and just have a 15A plug on them). All you have is control logic and a blower for the combustion air/gasses.
Kurto is right. Having multiple panels will probably be obligatory just for the number of poles you need. In my 7000 sf house, I've got three. The main panel only has a few circuits, the feeders to two other subpanels elsewhere, and some random stuff out in the hangar and garages.
Compared to the rest, getting the power company to drop in a 400A service isn't that big a deal in most places. The scary one for me was the 80KVA generator which is way overkill but the moron engineers who the architect employed were not able/willing to do a proper load sizing (80KVA = 400A fully loaded). I also sent a rather testy letter with two pages of code deficiencies after I got my plans back.
Fortunately my guys who were doing the actual work see this far too often (code violations in the architects plans) and would have never built the house wrong.

"Soda Tax" Defeated At Statehouse
An Illinois House committee has rejected a proposed tax on sweetened drinks that supporters say would help fight obesity.
The House Revenue and Finance Committee defeated the so-called ``soda tax'' Tuesday. It would have added a tax of 1 cent per ounce to any sweetened beverage.
Rep. Robyn Gabel is an Evanston Democrat. The Chicago Sun-Times reports Gabel told legislators the tax would give people an incentive to choose a healthier drink. It also would generate an estimated $600 million in annual revenue.
Mark Denzler is a lobbyist for the Illinois Manufacturers' Association. He says the tax _ which would equal $2.88 on a case of soda _ could lead to job losses because Illinois residents may cross state lines to buy drinks and other groceries.

[February 04, 2013]
BRIEF: It's official: HP is rolling out a Pavilion Chromebook laptop
Feb 04, 2013 (Los Angeles Times - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Hewlett-Packard is officially introducing its first Chromebook laptop, a $329.99 machine with a larger screen than any other Google-powered computer on the market.
The computer, formally named the "HP Pavilion Chromebook," was expected after a file was discovered on HP's website last week with details about the laptop.
The standout feature on the HP Pavilion Chromebook is its 14-inch display, which has a 1,366 by 768 pixel resolution. The screen is larger than that of other Chromebook laptops, which offer 11.6-inch and 12-inch displays.
Additionally, the HP Pavilion Chromebook runs on an Intel Celeron 847 dual-core 1.1GHz processor. It comes with 16 gigabytes of internal storage and an additional 100 GB of cloud storage with Google.
The laptop also comes with an HD webcam, an HDMI port, three USB 2.0 ports and a memory card slot. HP says the Pavilion Chromebook has a 4.25-hour battery life.
The new Chromebook can be purchased now online.

The new 390 Duke may not have the touring ability of BMW's G650GS or the sporty appearance of Kawasaki's Ninja 300, but I think it should win the fun stakes and for most young riders that's where it matters. It's light, nimble and exciting, which is impressive considering it only has 44bhp. Ride Quality & Brakes 4 out of 5 The brakes and suspension are pretty much the same as the 125 Duke, but with different shims and springs and the 390 benefits from far grippier Metzeler tyres. The ABS-assisted brakes are learner-friendly, the seat height is low (just 800mm) and thin, which means even shorties won't have a problem touching the floor. It's light and agile so not intimidating for new riders and it's not too heavy either. On the downside the Duke isn't very comfortable and the 11-litre tank won't deliver much range, but overall it's excellent. Engine 4 out of 5 Considering the motor only packs 44bhp (it can be restricted to A2 compliant) it feels a lot more as the bike is so light and lively. First gear is over too quickly in a blur of revs, but keep the throttle pinned and acceleration isn't half bad. Tuck in small enough and the digital speedo will read an indicated 105mph. There's a little kick at just below 7000rpm which is the sweet spot, hit this mark and the Duke displays an impressive turn of pace. Build Quality & Reliability 4 out of 5 It may be built in India, but the Duke seems to be well finished. Every bike is quality checked in Austria before being shipped to dealers. Insurance, running costs & value 4 out of 5 At just over £4,000 you are getting a lot of bike for your cash. Equipment 3 out of 5 You get ABS as standard and a fairly basic digital dash. By MCN Staff Owners' Reviews 1 owner has reviewed their KTM 390 DUKE (2013-on) and rated it in a number of areas. Read what they have to say and what they like and dislike about the bike below. We're currently improving the way this section works, which means we've had to suspend the submission of new owners' reviews for a short period. Please check back soon. Summary of Owners' Reviews Overall Rating 4 out of 5 Ride Quality & Brakes 4 out of 5 Engine 4 out of 5 Build Quality & Reliability 3 out of 5 Value & Running Costs 4 out of 5 Equipment 4 out of 5 4 out of 5 An eager new puppy! 20 April 2014 by Cripes Remember the last time you had a new puppy? Well this bike is that puppy. Full of boundless energy and a few whoopsies along the way. The 375cc thumper powerplant is like that new puppy on a leash, snatchy at low speeds but in its element once you... Read more can get it out onto open roads. The brakes are fitted with ABS and bring things to a halt predictably. The suspension has very little travel so Britain's potholed roads can give you a buckeroo ride - best seek out those smoother country 'A' roads. There's a nice dash that gives comprehensive information including fuel consumption and a gear indicator. Prince Philip would certainly guess where it's made, as the cheap plastics and rough finishing are very evident, but the upside is a great value bike - until you get locked into the KTM system, needing expensive valve adjustments and OEM parts. It's been a monster hit in India, where enthusiastic owners articulately discuss the minutest details of this epic bike - and that's where you'll find a refreshingly different angle to bike ownership away from the UK obsession with adventure or sports bikes. Be in no doubt, this is an amazing bike, brimming with character and fizz. If you're bored with the horsepower race and think bikes are getting too big then this is just the bike to titivate you!

Teachers contended that the new appraisal was not in line with Chongqing's education policy because it would take away emphasis on teaching. The government recently said it would put more educational resources into teaching instead of school administration.Monday, 18 March, 2013, 12:19pm
How can performance appraisals be made more effective?10 Oct 2009 - 12:00am
As we go up the corporate ladder, we come across a range of managerial characteristics. Some bosses are considerate and fair, while others are unfair and rigid, behaving as if the commercial world is a war zone.4 Mar 2006 - 12:00am
A nationwide performance appraisal system to give the public a clear picture of how well local governments are meeting community needs is being finalised by the Ministry of Personnel.
A pilot project is already under way in Qingdao , Shandong province , and the results will be used to shape the national programme.3 Aug 2004 - 12:00am
Disciplined services unionists yesterday urged an urgent review of the performance appraisal system.
The 4,000-strong Government Disciplined Services General Union finalised its position on the civil service review with a call to overhaul the long-standing appraisal system.18 May 1999 - 12:00am
Civil service chiefs have been praising their staff's work too much, according to a government watchdog.
Public Service Commission chairman Haider Barma said some departments had graded 60 to 70 per cent of staff as 'outstanding' during the promotion exercise.
'It's a bit ludicrous,' he said.20 Feb 1999 - 12:00am
IF YOU took a poll, I think you'd find that most managers regard the annual performance review of their subordinates as (at best) a necessary evil or (at worst) a total pain.1 Jan 1995 - 12:00am
Performance appraisals are a vital management tool that can go a long way towards keeping staff motivated, but they can lose much of their value - and indeed can work to lower office morale - if they are not carried out correctly.
PERSONNEL management teachers consider performance appraisal programmes to be most important in motivating staff.1 Nov 1993 - 12:00am
