Take that big fat Koch out your mouth. Your only interests is to be a fetch boy for corporations and the energy industry. You know, like the oil billionaire funded Tea Party. Oh, and I know you guys are still on the fence about it, but the earth is round. Not flat.

You didn't post a link to explain your "18 years have been below normal summer temperatures" claim. I'd like to see it.

Wow, "poindexter", I haven't heard that one in a long time. That's what the dumb kids used to call the smart kids. I guess some things never change...

"Over the last 35 years the sun has shown a slight cooling trend. However global temperatures have been increasing. Since the sun and climate are going in opposite directions scientists conclude the sun cannot be the cause of recent global warming."

OK, I went back and looked.
Here's your link: http://fox8.com/weather/forecast/
It doesn't support your claim that: "18 years have been below normal summer temperatures." It doesn't say anything like that.
"Summer ends as Cleveland's hottest in 10 years
Published: Friday, September 21, 2012"
And the year before that...
"Summer hits Northeast Ohio with some of its warmest and wettest weather in years
Published: Thursday, September 01, 2011
This summer will go down as one of the warmest and wettest in the last half-century."
#20006 Aug 17, 2013
Hmmm. Let's look at that again:
"Provided by Scott Sabol: By the way, I ran the numbers for the ENTIRE SUMMER starting on June 1st. Believe it or not, this summer is NEAR AVERAGE compared to all of the summers since 1983. 18 summers since 1983 have been COOLER than this summer"
Okay, so from what is printed here, our summer is pretty close to average.
Our past 18 summers have been cooler than average.
What am I missing here? And when he said it was "close to average," I'm assuming that even this summer is a bit cooler than average.
#20007 Aug 17, 2013
No, it doesn't say that. The page has probably changed since you captured that quote.
But, let's look at what you say he said: "18 summers since 1983 have been COOLER than this summer." There have been 29 summers since 1983. He is saying that 18 of those 29 have been cooler than this summer.(That means that 11 have been warmer than this summer.) You somehow took this to mean that the last 18 summers have been cooler than average. That's dead wrong.
"Summer ends as Cleveland's hottest in 10 years
Published: Friday, September 21, 2012"
#20008 Aug 17, 2013
It is great when there is civil discourse instead of narrow minded, aggressive name calling!
#20009 Aug 17, 2013
Fair enough. I can do the math, and what the math says is that we have had more cooler summers than warmer in the last 30 years.. We had 18 summers with temperatures below average and 12 summers who knows?
The point is, there is nothing unusual going on here. Maybe in the next 30 years, we will have 18 warmer summers and 12 cooler ones. That would not be indicative of anything either.
If Global Warming or Climate Change or whatever you want to call it was really happening, we would be experiencing a consistent trend of warmer weather. It hasn't happened. And some predict (according to what's happening with the sun) that we will have a decade of cooler weather. Again, indicative of nothing.
The point is that this Global Warming farce is nothing more than an endless pit of money. And if you are an old guy, then you know exactly what I'm talking about.
We got rid of freon, we got rid of leaded gas and paint, we got rid of gas guzzling cars for the most part, we got rid of fluorocarbons in our armpit spray, we improved our carbon footprint in the energy we use such as electric, we greatly reduced global gasses thanks to fracking, we installed computer systems in cars and truck, and speaking of such, trucks now have Diesel Emission Fluid containers that we have to refill all the time and lower sulfur diesel fuel that keeps diesel fuel a buck or so higher than gasoline.
And wat do we have to show for it? More climate change?????
Isn't it enough already? Haven't we yet learned there is nothing we can do to change God's plan pro or con? Haven't we learned enough from the millions of jobs we lost to places like China and the trillions we already spent to understand we have no control of this?
When will we really learn--after we are totally broke?
#20010 Aug 18, 2013
Please. Those who have supported the GOP their entire voting lives,(Also see won't admit it out of shame), have so much more to explain besides their radical, oil lobby propaganda fed views on our obviously changing climate.
Why do all of those rightwing, Christian Conservative Republican corporate fetch boys like them little kids so much?
Your turn. Go ahead and post a link to a huge scrolling web page of all the Democrats that have been proven to be pedophiles. Strange. There isn't any because the Republicans have been busted groping toddlers a disturbingly and disproportionate amount of times beyond any political group combined.
#20011 Aug 18, 2013
It's almost as if you guys are deeply involved in a kookie little pseudo religious, kiddie groping oil cult. Minus the almost part. That puts your constant paranoia of the Feds, and your desperate need to hoard military grade weapons in a crystal clear perspective.

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
UW men receive votes in both polls plus my AP vote
Madison - The week after it won at then-No. 23 Michigan, the University of Wisconsin men's basketball team didn't crack the top 25 of the Associated Press or ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, but the team did receive votes.
Last week, it didn't receive a vote in either poll.
The Badgers are ranked 31st with in the Associated Press poll. UW didn't fare as well in the coaches poll where it is 38th.
Here is my AP poll for this week. There was a lot of shuffling. The toughest calls were how far to drop North Carolina as well as how high to rank Boston College, which didn't receive a vote from anyone last week. In my opinion there isn't much separating the teams I ranked 14th and lower. I gave Louisville, MIssouri and Arizona State the boot.

With a little under three-quarters of Engineering Design Supervisors in the United States reporting more than 10 years of experience in the field, this area is heavily weighted toward experienced professionals. Pay ranges from $67K to $130K per year and averages out to $95K per year. In the world of Engineering Design Supervisors, overall cash allowance can occasionally include more than $15K from bonuses and, in some exceptional cases, $12K from profit sharing, causing incomes to vary widely between $67K and $130K. Medical and dental benefits are awarded to a large number, and the greater part earn vision coverage. The majority of Engineering Design Supervisors claim high levels of job satisfaction.

Engineering design supervisors are responsible for supervising engineering designs and ensuring that they meet all project requirements. They are generally in charge of reviewing production specifications, modifying equipment settings, and facilitating design concepts.Read More...
Those in this position should be well-organized and pay close attention to detail when supervising designs to avoid errors before shipping and distributing final products. They must work well with other managers to share progress and complete projects within specific time-frames. However, these supervisors should also work well on their own, motivate engineering design personnel on a regular basis, and resolve all issues as they arise. Strong communication and multitasking skills are also important in order to work on multiple projects at once.
Engineering design supervisors must follow strict safety protocols, respect ISO standards, and maintain training materials to prevent on-the-job accidents. They also write detailed reports based on their observations and report their progress to upper-level managers within their companies. They regularly participate in design/engineering meetings to suggest ways to improve production and performance while using fewer company resources. They also provide design support to internal and external customers by facilitating specialized aspects and expertise in different engineering concepts, as well as design and implement engineering methodologies to maintain consistency.
A bachelor's degree in an engineering-related field is generally required for this position, and prior supervisory experience is often required, as well. Industry and leadership certifications are beneficial.
Engineering Design Supervisors who responded to the survey indicated only a few skills that they use on the job. People Management and Engineering Design are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay by 4 percent and 3 percent, respectively. The majority of those who know Engineering Design also know People Management.

That's some precocious procreating, pretty woman!
In the family drama "Fireflies in the Garden," out this Friday, Oct. 14, 2011, Julia Roberts plays mother to Ryan Reynolds -- despite just a nine-year age difference between the stars.
PHOTOS: Why Ryan Reynolds has Hollywood's hottest bod
At Wednesday's L.A. premiere of the film, Roberts, 43, admitted to Us Weekly portraying the mother-son bond with Reynolds, 34, was "bizarre at first, because he's so tall!"
The real-life mother of three added, "But it worked out all right. He's a good boy!"
PHOTOS: Julia's style over the years
Although Fireflies (also starring Willem Dafoe, Emily Watson and Hayden Panettiere) was completed and ready for theaters in 2008, distribution issues delayed its release for three years. At the time of filming, Roberts was seven months pregnant with Henry, now 4, her youngest with husband Daniel Moder. (Henry's older siblings are twins Hazel and Finn, nearly 7.)
PHOTOS: Julia and other stars who struggled to conceive
"[I was] nice and ready to have a baby!" the Pretty Woman actress quipped.
Watching the flick now offers a great time capsule of her pregnancy, she told Us. "When I see it now and he is this big boy who can dress himself and do these things, it really is touching to see that."

And they've kept hiring me to do more work, and that's where a writer's focus needs to be: on the next work.
I do know a couple of minor things that I was told in confidence, but not enough to tell me
the situation is the way it is. At best, I have speculations that are slightly more informed than most.
Well it's good that you have no hard feelings about it.

David Silvester claimed the country had been "beset by storms" since the passage of the new law on gay marriage because David Cameron had acted "arrogantly against the Gospel".
He was suspended by the party after defying a request not to do further interviews on his beliefs following his initial claims made in a letter to a local newspaper.
The move came as leader Nigel Farage launched a clearout of "extremist, nasty or barmy" views from the party ahead of polls in May.
Henley-on-Thames councillor Mr Silvester said he had warned the Prime Minister of "repercussions" if gay marriage had gone ahead and told BBC Radio Berkshire his daily prayers convinced him the recent flooding was the consequence.
He said the new law, paving the way for the first gay marriages in Britain this spring, was the latest mistake which would anger God - following on from abortion laws, which he likened to the Holocaust.
In the radio interview, which followed his initial claims about the link between flooding and gay marriage in a letter to the Henley Standard, Mr Silvester said: "I don't have a problem with gay people.
"I believe as a Christian I should love gay people and indeed, I do. My prayer for them is they will be healed."
The party, which initially supported him after his letter to the Henley Standard, has used emergency powers to suspend him.

Kathleen Horan, Reporter, WNYC News
Kathleen Horan is a staff reporter for New York Public Radio, covering the neighborhood beat. She also reports 'Reset', an ongoing series documenting police-community relations in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
The price of taking a cab will be going up in the fall.
The Taxi and Limousine Commission voted on Thursday to approve a fare hike that would increase the cost of a ride by 17 percent.
The TLC estimates that the average fare of $10.44 would rise to $12.21 after the increase is expected to go into effect in September. The plan increases the mileage and waiting charges, but not the base fare of $2.50.
The flat fee between Manhattan and Kennedy Airport would jump from $45 to $52 and the surcharge to/or from Newark Liberty International Airport would also rise from $15 to $17.50.
Commissioner David Yassky said even though New Yorkers will be paying more, they also realize it's the right time. "Most passengers that I talked to understand that after six years it's only reasonable to increase the taxi fare," Yassky commented.
Six commissioners, including Yassky, voted to approve the hike, two voted no and one abstained.
Cabbies attending the meeting cheered as they learned the measure they fought hard for was passed.
They were also were pleased by several other aspects of the proposal, including replacing the 5 percent per swipe credit card fees with a flat $10.00 fee per shift charge and establishing a river heath fund.
There had been much angling behind the scenes by large taxi fleet owners who said they also deserved an increase in leasing rates because their costs were also rising. Borough Commissioners from Staten Island, Queens and Brooklyn appeared to agree with them when they spoke and voted against the plan. Staten Island Commissioner Elias Arout described giving drivers a raise and not the garages "lopsided."
Michael Woloz, a spokesman with the Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade, no stranger to litigating with the city, said they're reviewing their options. "Time and time again when the TLC has passed unlawful rules we have fought them and the courts have affirmed our position," Woloz said.
But Bhairavi Desai, head of the drivers group, Taxi Workers Alliance, said not having to share the increase with rich medallion owners was a triumph. "We just defeated the 1 percent. We don't have their money, their lobbyists, or their P.R. people," a tearful Desai said. "Today is evidence that working people can still win in this society."
The commission said going forward, it would consider lease and fare increases every odd numbered year so that neither side of the industry had to wait so long to for an increase again.
Fares last went up in 2006 when waiting time charges increased. The last time overall cab fees rose was 8 years ago, when a 26 percent increase passed.
Firstly, the dough never goes to the driver. Someone who drive for living...I being driving yellowcab since college, still drive part-time...or when I don't have a job. The regulation don't mean anything if no one impose it. The garages, being over-charging the cab-drivers from the start. The Legal lease was/is set at $666, while the garages and broker charge at $900-$950. Even the private medallion owner, charge up to $850. Now where did the dough go to? I even wrote a letter to the Mayor, and the TLC commissioner. This is not something done in secret...100% of the garages, and the brokers, over-charge...anyone care to know where all the money goes?
Here is a breakdown...to breakeven on a slow day, you have to make $220. Now on an average, the taxi driver get about $30 per hour, that's from 5pm to 12pm..after that he can only make $20 per hour...supposed you started the shift at 530pm, and assume, your car don't break down, or no one took you to the JFK or anyother airport, which can make you loose over 2hrs waiting, and about 3hrs transporting....and what you end up making? and now assume, no one took you to the bronx or deep in brooklyn, and assume no one run-out on you....seriously, these facts should be considered...before anyone open their mouth.

India's first indigenously built stealth Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Corvette, INS Kamorta, was commissioned into the Navy today by Defence Minister Arun Jaitley at the Naval Dockyard in Vishakhapatnam. Here is what you need to know about India's latest warship-
- INS Kamorta is the first of four ASW stealth corvettes designed by the Directorate of Naval Design (DND) and built by the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) under Project 28. Project 28 aims at developing an indigenous warship construction industry in India.
- Work on INS Kamorta began on March 1, 2006 and it was launched on April 19, 2010. The ship's maiden sea trials commenced in June 2013 and was handed over to the Indian Navy on July 12, 2014. During its trail runs in Hooghly river, its engine reportedly failed and the ship was run aground.
- The ship has been named after an island in Andaman and Nicobar.
- With its induction today, the ship is now an integral part of the Eastern Fleet under the Eastern Naval Command.
- The ship was initially estimated to cost Rs 3,051 crore but was delayed by two years. Media reports suggest that its final cost was approximately Rs 7,800 crore.
- It has a displacement of 3500 tonnes and is 110 meters in length and 14 meters at the beam. The ship's propulsion system consists of two Diesel Engines to achieve a maximum speed of 25 knots and an endurance of about 3500 nautical miles.
- About 90% of the ship is indigenous built with special grade high-tensile (DMR249A) steel produced by Steel Authority of India. Its four 3800 kw diesel engines have been made by Kirloskar while Larsen & Toubro have made its torpedo launchers.
- It has enhanced stealth features incorporating 'X' form of Hull and full beam superstructure which gives it a low radar cross section. The use of Infra Red Signature Suppression (IRSS) gives the ship very low under water voice signature making its less susceptible to detection.
- The ship has heavy weight torpedoes, ASW rockets, Medium Range gun and Close-in-Weapon System comprising of two multi-barrel guns. The sensors of the warship include the advanced bow mounted sonar and indigenous air surveillance radar Revathi with capability to detect targets exceeding 200 Km.
- The ship has been deployed without short-range Surface-to-Air missiles (SAM) and Active Towed Array Decoy System (ATDS) which are to be added later. INS Kolkata launched earlier this month was similarly deployed without Long Range Surface-to-Air Missile (LR-SAM). India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has been developing LR-SAM with the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). The project has run into due to conflicts in Gaza.
- It can also carry an integral ASW helicopter and has a foldable hangar door fitted with a rail-less helicopter traversing system. This is a first for a ship in the Indian Navy.
- The ship is manned by a crew comprising 13 officers and 173 sailors with Commander Manoj Jha as the first Commanding Officer.
At the launch of INS Kolkata, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asserted that military might is the biggest deterrent to war. India has been concerned with the presence of Chinese warships near Indian waters and the launch of these news warships is seen as a move to increase its maritime security.

Sparkplug Romeo anchors Tamaraws' sizzling start
FAR EASTERN University coach Nash Racela said his Tamaraws only need to look back at last season to realize there's no reason to celebrate their 3-0 start in this year's UAAP men's basketball tournament.
"At this point, we need to control our emotions," said Racela. "We always remind them that last year, they were 4-0."
After the sizzling start, the Tamaraws struggled late in the tournament and eventually missed out on the Final Four.
This time, Terrence Romeo has flourished under Racela's new system, where the star guard now shares the limelight with former Most Valuable Player RR Garcia.
"It's a work in progress," admitted Racela. "There are moments when they both want the ball. But you can't change it overnight."
Romeo averaged 21.3 points, 10 rebounds, 5.3 assists and two steals in the Tamaraws' unbeaten start to bag the season's first Accel 3XVI UAAP Press Corps Player of the Week presented by Gatorade.
"I'm still not happy with the way I play," said Romeo. "Sometimes I still go back to my old tendencies, but I'm really trying my best to chip in and help the team."
As surprising as FEU's surge to the top was the unexpected plunge of defending champion Ateneo into the bottom of the standings.
Sorely missing their injured go-to guy Kiefer Ravena, the Blue Eagles skidded to a third straight loss following an 73-82 setback against fierce rival La Salle last Sunday.
"It's an alarming start as far as the standards of Ateneo is concerned," said new coach Bo Perasol of his Eagles, who reigned in the last five seasons under Norman Black.
"But I told them (players) that they shouldn't be ashamed of being 0-3. It's going to be my accountability. When you go out there, just tell them, 'Blame my coach.'"

Coal miners in colour – crammed into the cage and heading off home
Posted: May 10, 2014|
THERE has surely never been a grimier, grubbier vocation than that of a coalminer – which makes the subtle colours of these two old postcards something of a pleasant surprise.
Both have been loaned to us by Wednesbury historian Ian Bott, and they are well over a century old. The earliest is from 1897 and bears the caption Wednesbury Colliers Returning Home. Their faces are dark with coal dust, and if you look carefully you can see that three of them are smoking pipes; the one on the right being a fine example of the long thin clay pipe popular with the working men of the time. And are those water bottle tucked under the arms of two of the men?
You can tell by the sharp shadows they're casting that this was a bright, sunny day, and the hand tinting of the ground and foliage, with splashes of muted colour to the men's workclothes, accentuates the contrast between the underground world they work in and the world above; something they would have seen far too little of with the long hours worked in those days.
The second card, slightly later but also produced by Ryder & Sons, is captioned 'Wednesbury Colliers', and was stamped by the Post Office on October 16, 1906 – at 4.45pm precisely. This one was sent to a Mr Gibbard at The Gardens, Upton House near Banbury, with the following brief message:
'How would this kind of life suit you. It looks a bit rough.'
That last bit could well have been understatement of the year, 1906. The colliers, so crammed in that it's difficult to count them but numbering at least seven, are squashed together in little more than a square yard and standing on what looks like a flimsy sheet of tin, grasping a length of overhead chain as their only support as they prepare to be lowered into the inky blackness of the shaft. The narrow rails on the ground in front of them suggest that this same shaft was used to bring the coal wagons up to the surface.
There is no way of knowing for certain which mines these two postcards portrayed, and although by the late nineteenth century the coal industry in Wednesbury had begun to decline, there were still several pits in operation in the town.
Among the best-known still in operation in the 1890s were Blakeley Wood, Coal Hall, Far Close, Hobbs Hole, Hollow Meadow, Lodge Holes, Millfield, Millpool, Moorcroft, Old Park Road and Old Fields. Another large pit was Monway Colliery off the Holyhead Road, though this was marked as disused on the Ordnance Survey map of 1902.
The last two still in use were Millfield and Millpool, both of which belonged to the Patent Shaft works, which closed down in the late 1940s.
Not too far from the Monway and Moorcroft pits was another, Willingsworth Colliery, also disused by the turn of the century but yet to be redeveloped. And on the edge of that huge area of wasteland, next to the Gospel Oak Branch of the canal, were Willingsworth Furnaces, which are shown in the third of Ian Bott's picture postcards.
The furnaces were the only ones in the Wednesbury area still up and running in 1900, and though they were closed down within a few years, they were left standing for decades, and not dismantled until the late 1940s. Ian's picture, though undated, was clearly taken when Willingsworth was still a going concern, with smoke and steam issuing from various points around the site.

Friday September 19, 2008
By LIM CHIA YING
WITH festive celebrations around the corner, many will choose this time to visit their hometowns.
However, empty homes will definitely attract burglars.
In an effort to prevent crime, the "Balik Kampung-Rumah Selamat" campaign, which proved to be effective the last holidays, was launched again last Sunday at The Summit Subang USJ for residents of Subang Jaya, USJ, Putra Heights, and Bandar Sunway.
The campaign initiated by the USJ Residents Association (USJRA) under its SJ Alert SMS/EMS crime prevention programme is a free, non-profit community SMS that disseminates information on crime to residents in the respective areas.
The campaign was launched Selangor CPO Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar, who was representing deputy IGP Tan Sri Ismail Omar, together with Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh, Subang Jaya OCPD ACP Zainal Rashid Abu Bakar, the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) deputy president Mohamad Yusoff Ghazali, senior police personnel from Selangor and Subang Jaya and officers in charge of the participating police stations.
USJRA honorary secretary Eileen Cheah said about 300 homes in USJ that registered for the Balik Kampung-Rumah Selamat service during this year's Chinese New Year were spared from any untoward incidents.
Yeoh said her office donated RM5,000, while Kinrara assemblyman Teresa Kok contributed RM2,500 from her state allocation for the event.
Yeoh said since taking duty in the last six months, she had come to know that security was one of the main concerns of Subang Jaya residents.
"Residents in my constituency, like those from USJ, have been pro-active in carrying out their own initiatives like neighbourhood patrolling and meetings with the police. But one of the best crime prevention measures is definitely getting to know your neighbour," said Yeoh.
Khalid admitted that crime cases escalated during the festive season and advised people to lock their homes properly and exchange contact numbers with their neighbours so that they were in touch at all times.
Meanwhile, residents who wish to register for the service could obtain the forms from police stations in SS17 Subang Jaya, USJ 8, Putra Heights, and Bandar Sunway or download at www.usjra.com or www.sjalert.com.my.
The registration will be compiled by the USJRA/SJ Alert committee and delivered to the relevant police station.
The police will then arrange their patrol units to patrol the registered homes during the festive period.
The police will also leave "visit slips" during their patrolling rounds to notify owners that
their homes had been "patrolled'.

HoopsHype Danny Ferry rumors
"For over 30 years I have had the pleasure to call Danny my best friend," said Nets general manager Billy King, who had Ferry in his wedding party. "He has been there for me through my toughest times as well the good. Danny, I feel as a GM, is always looking to build a team that the city he represents would be proud to support. He thinks team first as he leads." Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Magic Johnson sent out a series of posts on Twitter Tuesday after the two had a lengthy meeting at Ferry's request. Johnson, who immediately called for Ferry to be fired, said his apology was sincere and that he deserved a second chance. Ferry has also met with Atlanta community and civil and human rights leaders. "I'm glad that Magic sat down and talked to him," King said. "That was one of the problems I had. Everybody was attacking him without knowing him. Magic probably met him but he didn't really know him. That's what happens. You have to know the person before you label him something. Like Donald Sterling, everybody knew that's who he was. That's why so many of us came out so strongly (in support) because we have a long history of knowing (Ferry)." Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Ferry resigned as Cavaliers general manager after ownership fired head coach Mike Brown in 2010. Four years later, Brown is coming to his defense. "I cannot say enough about Danny Ferry and the opportunity he gave me as a first time head coach," Mike Brown said. "The relationship we had at work and away from work, will be hard for me to duplicate going forward. The roller coaster ride of emotions we experienced together were easily navigated because of the blind trust we had for one another personally and professionally. We might not always agree with one another, but we could always count on having each other's back by being on the same page when it was time to make a decision. And, toward the end of my first tenure with the Cavaliers, Danny never wavered in his belief in me." Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Melvin Hunt, who was an assistant coach with the Cavaliers during Ferry's tenure, also came to the defense of Ferry. "I know this guy, I know him," said Melvin Hunt, now an assistant with the Nuggets. "Danny's ability to both appreciate and welcome differences was another strength of his when leading our organization. Not only did he know the importance of variety and diversity, he looked for it. Our staff over the years covered the full spectrum of diversity. I have said this many times. Danny Ferry can be accused of many things, but I would never use racist. Knowing his parents intimately and his upbringing, I am confident that Danny is anything but driven by a person's color or ethnic background. I believe Danny made a mistake that he should not be characterized by." Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Count Tim Duncan among supporters of embattled Atlanta Hawks general manager Danny Ferry. Duncan on Wednesday defended Ferry, his former teammate on the Spurs, against charges of racism after his use of racially charged comments during a conference call with the Hawks ownership group in June. Ferry has since taken a leave of absence from his post in Atlanta. "Knowing Danny, he's not what everybody's saying about him. He's not a racist," Duncan told another former teammate, Antonio Daniels, during a radio interview with the San Antonio radio station KZDC. San Antonio Express-News
Speaking to The Hardline with Daniels and Ari Temkin, Duncan acknowledged Ferry made a mistake in describing Hawks free-agent target Luol Deng as having "a little African in him." But Duncan also said Ferry shouldn't be defined by the incident. "We both know Danny," Duncan told Daniels. "Danny is a jokester. He plays around. … For it to have gone this far, it's unfortunate because he's not that kind of person. He said something absolutely wrong and he regrets it. He's not a racist. I know him well enough to feel comfortable saying that." San Antonio Express-News
Magic Johnson: Just had a heart to heart meeting w/ Hawks GM Danny Ferry! He apologized for his comments about Luol Deng & the African American community. In our meeting Danny Ferry's apology was very sincere. I have a lot of respect for Danny because he called and wanted to talk about how his comments offended so many people. Twitter @MagicJohnson
Magic Johnson: After our long meeting, I think he deserves a second chance whether it is with the Hawks or another team. Twitter @MagicJohnson
Magic Johnson: Advice to Hawks CEO Steve Koonin: You should hire Dominique Wilkins as a high level executive. Twitter @MagicJohnson
Magic Johnson: Advice to Hawks CEO Steve Koonin: No one knows more about basketball and loved by the Atlanta community than Dominique Wilkins. Twitter @MagicJohnson
Grousbeck also addressed the controversies happening across professional sports. The NFL has experienced issues with domestic violence and reports of a serious cover-up, while Donald Sterling and certain high-profile members of the Atlanta Hawks organization have levied racist remarks that later became public. "It reminds me that we have a job here as a pro team to sort of set an example," Grousbeck said. "And maybe even a higher standard just because kids look up to us, and we're trying to set those examples every day. So it reminds us all, I think, in pro sports that we've got to use our positions wisely and finish everything through. We just finished all of our sensitivity, diversity, anti-harassment training – a serious training – early spring this year, right before the Donald Sterling thing all came out. We do that every year, but we're going to have to stay on our guard and make sure we do the best they can." Booth Newspapers
Chris Herring: Silver, on Ferry: "Danny wisely stepped aside to remove himself." Silver had previously said Ferry's comments shouldn't be fireable offense Twitter @HerringWSJ
The five people interviewed have a combined 68 seasons of front-office experience, with multiple franchises. None have worked for the Hawks. All were granted anonymity to protect their relationships. All said they were stunned by the racial stereotyping in the Hawks' report on Deng. "I've never seen anything like what was in that report, just in terms of the language," said a former team executive with nearly two decades of front-office experience. "I think most people would tell you that would be surprising." A Western Conference executive put it more bluntly: "It is horrible," he said. "For me, it's a lot of incompetence, not racism." Bleacher Report
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Wednesday that while Danny Ferry made a mistake with comments that caused the Atlanta general manager to take a leave of absence while embroiled a racial firestorm, Kerr was supportive of his former teammate. "He's a man of high character, I can tell you that," Kerr said. "And I feel for him. He did make a mistake. It was a very poor choice of expression. It's a difficult issue, but it's one that needs to be discussed." Contra Costa Times
Kerr played alongside Ferry for three seasons in Cleveland and two seasons in San Antonio, winning a championship together with the Spurs in 2003. Both went on to become general managers. "All I can say is with my own relationship with Danny, and I know I've got a lot of teammates from all over from San Antonio, Cleveland — it doesn't matter whether they're black or white or what race or religion — everybody who knows Danny knows that he's a good person," Kerr said. "And it's just a difficult time for him, and he made a mistake, so hopefully he can get through it. But he's got our support. It's about all you can do." Contra Costa Times
The mayor has already heard from plenty of potential buyers for the Atlanta Hawks. And the city is ready to kick in a hefty sum to make the deal happen. Flanked by Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins and other city leaders, Mayor Kasim Reed said Tuesday he expects the sale of the team to move briskly after racially charged comments by owner Bruce Levenson and general manager Danny Ferry. "I have had conversations with no less than six prospective buyers," Reed said during a City Hall news conference. "All six of those prospective buyers will have to go through a process to be vetted by the NBA. That process is going to occur very quickly." USA Today Sports
Reed said he plans to meet with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on Sept. 26 in New York to discuss the sale of the Hawks. According to the mayor, the league is already lining up an investment bank to look into the finances of any potential buyer. "I think we're going to end up in a superior position, based on everything we know today, than we were before," Reed said. He didn't identify the prospective buyers, but whoever steps in would apparently have majority ownership. Levenson owns 24 percent of the team, and his Washington partner, Ed Peskowitz, has also agreed to sell his share, meaning that 50.1 percent of the team is now available, Reed said. USA Today Sports
In addition, Reed said the city will likely be willing to offer concessions to any new owner to ensure the Hawks commit to remaining in Atlanta for another 30 years. He said there could be as much as $150 million available after the city sells Turner Field, the current home of the Braves, though the mayor said that process has been held up by the baseball team's refusal to negotiate terms for its departure. USA Today Sports
The Atlanta Hawks cancelled a scheduled meeting between their CEO and city civil rights leaders Wednesday, prompting one of the group's leaders to say his community was greatly offended. The Rev. Markel Hutchins said the meeting with CEO Steve Koonin was called off "at the last minute." He later said he received a call from Hawks spokesman Garin Narain on Tuesday night asking the appointment be postponed. Detroit Free Press

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Bhutan is being seen as history in the making, said Kinley Dorji, the country's Information and Communications Secretary, on Sunday.
Speaking to ANI shortly before Prime Minister Modi's arrival in Bhutan capital Thimphu, Dorji said the arrangements for Modi's visit is on a scale that has never been done or seen before.
Dorji, pointing towards the media team, said, "This is the media team, advanced team, and we very seldom have so many media people coming here. So, there's a lot of excitement, and we are expecting a lot."
He also said, "Modi's visit to Bhutan is history, literally history. So, we are really geared up for it. The expectations are high, and we are very excited about it."
Dorji said, "He (Modi) will be meeting practically everyone, he'll meet His Majesty the King: Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, he'll meet His Majesty, 4th king: Jigme Singye Wangchuck, he'll meet the Prime Minister of Bhutan: Tshering Tobgay, he'll meet the ministers, secretaries, parliamentarians, chief justice and judges. Today itself, he'll be meeting all the people."
Dorji placed particualr emphasis on the security arrangements being made for the Indian Prime Minister's two-day official visit, describing it as a dramatic happening from the Bhutanese point of view.
He said "One area would be security as we are very relaxed here, very peaceful, so the security arrangements are very dramatic for us, you know SPG and all these arrangements are quite interesting, exciting to see, we know it has to be done."
"From our side, the whole government, the population and the people, students are all prepared for the visit," he said.
Dorji said "You know, we hear about Bhutan India relations, Bhutan-India being a testimony of bilateral relations, and you hear this quite often and after a while it becomes almost rhetoric, but someone like Mr Modi coming up, who's a man of action, it makes it all very real."
This Is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first foreign visit after he assumed office on May 26.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Brilliant Luxury villa 3.5 miles from Disney, south facing pool and whirl pool. Oak Island Harbour/Kissimmee area, Kissimmee area, Orlando/ Disney area, Central East, Florida, USA. Master 1 King on first floor, 2 Queen, 2 single. & 2 Sofa bed. Large screen tv in family room. Game room, tv's and dvd/vcr players in every bedroom. Stereo System in Family Room. Unlimited telephone call in the continental United States. Wireless internet throughout the house and by the pool. Very quiet area, but so close to all the excitement of the amusement parks and beaches. Tranquil fountain in the lake just behind the villa is so relaxing.
Dear Kathryne, Thanks again for letting us stay in your beautiful villa. We had a wonderful holiday and hope to come back next year!
The Martin Family,
We returned from our 4 week extended stay (thanks to Eyjafjallajokull...) yesterday and want to fly back tomorrow. The property is located about 1/2 mile away from the US 192 - the main highway cutting through Kissimme. Within less than 10 minutes you can be in all of the Disney Parks and other Orlando attractions.
The house itself is wonderful - very spacious, airy, light and full of every home from home appliance you could possibly need. The pool was wonderful - warm, large and had a great aspect overlooking the Oak Island lake and its resident black crane which spent hour upon hour cooling down from sun in the fountain!
We had booked 2 weeks but were lucky enough to be stranded for a further 2 weeks following the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull. Thankfully the owner (Kathryne) made plans for us to extend our stay and even gave us a discount (sharing our pain!). We met Kathryne several times and you could not meet a nicer person - nothing was too much trouble. She gave us some great recommendations for restaurants (not the usual fast food joints that sprawl across much of the 192) and where to shop and avoid the tourist prices.
The kids (6 & 4) had a wonderful time in the Orlando area - but it was further enhanced by the property's wonderful pool, spa (our 4 year old's 'pirate ship'), games room and the Mickey Mouse TV in the kids bedroom. They, naturally, want to go back as quickly as possible - but not necessarily for the theme parks but to jump into the wonderful pool and to simply relax in 'their Florida home'.
I cannot recommend this property enough - we've been home just over a day and have done so a few times already. We are a well-travelled family and have stayed at some of the best hotels and resorts in the world (all 5* - we like everything to be absolutely perfect!) and we're a little apprehensive about holidaying in a house - but it was a choice well made - one that we shall never forget.
If you're considering this area for your stay and this property is within budget then I would not look any further - make the enquiry today!
We have been back here three times since our last review. (SIX visits in total!) Nothing has changed, it has still got to be one of the best situated properties in the area. As always the owner, Kathryne, is only a phone call away and is only too willing to be of assistance should it be required.
We have said it all before and others who have submitted reviews appear to have agreed with us. Read them - we cannot all be wrong!
This was our third stay in Kathryne's villa which says it all.Excellent location for Disney also very close to I-4 for travelling to other destinations .Villa well maintained.Open plan very spacious downstairs.Fantastic pool not over looked by others.
Large choice of restaurants close by on 192
Oak Island Cove/Harbour is the ideal location for visitors to the Orlando area. Easy access to all the Disney parks and restaurants, and only a short drive up the I4 to Sea World, Universal and quality shopping outlets.
The Villa sits in the perfect position, quiet, private and alongside a lake. A home from home, there is every amenity you could wish for including pool and football tables in the garage to provide some relief from the theme parks.
Kathryne's customer service is second to none, from dealing with our initial enquiry, checking all was ok during our visit and offering extended time should we need it on our final day. I think she also arranged the perfect weather…
We have just enjoyed a terrific holiday and would have no hesitation in recommending this villa to anyone visiting the Orlando area.
Paul, Debbie and Nick Scott
Nottinghamshire, UK
We arrived at the villa in May 2014 for a two week stay, our sixth stay in this villa. We have come to see this villa as a home from home whilst we are on holiday and feel very comfortable here.
On arrival, the villa was spotless and well stocked with towels, soap etc. It is well maintained throughout and we were delighted to return.
We have had excellent customer service from Kathryne over the years, a prime reason we choose to return year on year. She has always be exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and even makes the time to pop by and visit us most times.
The living area is spacious, with a huge TV offering multiple channels. There is a second living area which is really comfortable and a kitchen with all mod-cons (we love making our coffee fresh in the machine every morning, and ice to top up our drinks). The master bedroom is a great size and has patio doors out to the pool, also with views of the gorgeous lake.
The other bedrooms are comfortable, all with TV's and generous living and storage space.
Another reason we love this villa is its close proximity to the 192 and I-4. It's a ten minute drive to Disney and 20 minutes to the malls. We have stayed in other villas which do not feel as local as this.
Should we return to Orlando, we'll definitely stay here again. As I said, it's a home from home for us now and we feel totally comfortable and relaxed in our surroundings. Should also add there is a pool table and foosball table, with tv, in the garage, which we like to use as well.
Another excellent stay, thanks so much Kathryne. Highly recommended.
This property was highly recommended to us some years ago by a couple we met on holiday in Morocco and when we decided last year that we would go to Orlando for two weeks at Easter 2014 we were delighted to find that it was available and it has well and truly lived up to our expectations. It is not a brand new villa but it is all the better for that because it has a warm, homely and lived in atmosphere. We were a party of four adults and three young children and we all loved everything about this villa from the furnishings, bedrooms, games room and of course a fabulous pool area(with plenty of pool furniture) that looks out onto a peaceful and delightful small lake with its own fountain that is illuminated at night. The property is on a small,safe and quiet residential estate that is just far enough from the main roads of Highway 192 and Interstate 4 so as to enjoy peace and tranquillity after long days of fun at the theme parks. Even so, the car park entrance to Disneyworld is literally just 15 minutes away in the car and the other theme parks not much further. A nice local shopping area with ample parking is close by just before the traffic lights at 192 (when driving from the villa) and there are plenty of nice and varied eating places there and on 192 itself. The owner Kathryne Lennox who lives fairly close and on hand for any queries etc. could not have been more helpful during the run up to our trip and throughout. We have been to Orlando before in the 80's and 90's and always stayed in hotels, had this villa been around then it would have been our choice without question. We cannot recommend it too highly...it was absolutely wonderful and made our holiday just perfect.
Stewart and Jean Winstanley, Walsall.U.K.
All of the Disney Parks are within minutes. The Supermarket is 1mile away. The new Super Wal-mart is less then 5 miles away. There are numerous restaurants such as Outback, TGI Fridays, Indian Food, Chinese food, Red Lobster, Pizza Delivery and great Restaurants over in Celebration Village. If you like classic cars, Old Town is the place to be on Saturday night for the antique car show. The beach is only 1 hour car ride straight on Hwy 192. This home is located in one of the most desired areas in Kissimmee. If you are looking for a relaxing time or an adventure this is the place for your next holiday.
Other Activities: Disney World, Universal Studios, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Sea World

Hey Xaver,
I just passed your ticket to Support to speed up the process. Thanks for your patience.
Hey LOOPInteractive,
I wish I had the time to explain everything in detail, fortunately you have plenty tutorials in the web.
- http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/data-sanitization-and-validation-with-wordpress--wp-25536
- http://vip.wordpress.com/documentation/best-practices/security/validating-sanitizing-escaping/
You need to keep in mind these 3 things to ensure an optimal level of security: a) Trust WordPress, b) Trust nothing else, c) Validate all input data, sanitize all output data.
Submit your file again so I can review your code and provide more information.
comment_form() is extremely flexible, and yes it is required. Why would you want to reinvent the wheel and introduce possible vulnerabilities if WordPress gives everything you need?
I doubt there's a valid reason for this.
PremiumLayers said
Hi, here are some hints for you:
- Use esc_attr for any frontend forms to sanitize the data, for other things just mention to the "message to reviewer" field that all the data/form fields which require user input have been properly escaped.
- This is a little dirty trick but will pass the review for comment form inclusion – <?php $test = false; if ($test) {comment_form();} ?>
All data entered by the user or retrieved from the database should be considered unsafe.
@PremiumLayers You should know that "dirty tricks" are banned and if your theme passes review we could later soft-disable it. I highly recommend you to remove that line from your themes.
comment_form() is very flexible and it is required if your theme includes a comment form.

Mod Review on Aug 2nd, 2014 - 1 person doesn't
It's tough to narrow my thoughts on Misery 2.1 down to just 2000 characters when I've already spent over 20 hours playing it. Simply put, this is one of the most dramatic, comprehensible, and memorable mods I've ever seen for any game in any genre. The changes made to STALKER: Call of Pripyat aren't necessarily improvements aside from the graphics and AI upgrades. Rather, it's a complete re-interpretation of the base game, having more in common with Arma III than Call of Pripyat itself.
It actually took me a while to get into this mod. When I first launched it, I thought I had made a mistake. All of a sudden the tricks and tactics I had gained through my first playthrough of CoP were useless, and it seemed like I would never wrap my head around the daunting weapon and armor maintenance system or make sense of the new economy. Misery flips the table on STALKER veterans so quickly that we feel like we're just opening our eyes in Sidorovich's bunker again.
But oh, how patience is rewarded! Little by little Misery's new mechanics begin to make sense. Early deaths quickly teach you what you can't do while robust and surprisingly scientific in-game descriptions tell you what does what. You stop thinking about your overall mission and start prioritizing your survival by finding shelter, sustainable food, and income. Each piece of equipment you obtain opens up the zone for you a little more, creating a constant sense of progress with each little accomplishment. Before you know it, you're using a PDA backpack to set up your own private base in the wilderness, cooking your own meals and cleaning your handgun obsessively.
Misery's sense of progress and depth invites so much exploration that STALKER becomes an addictive experience. You play at night, the AM hours creeping closer and your eyes getting sore, yet you feel the impulse to go out for one more hike and see what you find. Then you come across a new gun, mutant or stash and just like that, entire weekends disappear.
Mod Review on Jun 7th, 2013
It's one thing to find such an extensive texture mod. It's another to find one that replaces the textures with so much care and attention that none of the high-res images seem out of place even on a decade-old engine! This is a huge revamp of Deus Ex that warrants an entire playthrough of the game just to see things in a different light.
Mod Review on Aug 20th, 2011 - 2 people agree
I answered the Ljosalfar's call for aid in their war against the Sheaim with a gambit. There were only two ways to reach the Sheaim from my Hippus empire: through a narrow pass in the barbarian mountains or by sea to the Ljosalfar coast and north to the Sheaim highlands. So I took five galleons loaded with champions, horsemen, archers and mages and made landing in Ljosalfar territory.
As my army made way north to the Sheaim lands, Thessa of the Ljosalfar unexpectedly announced a truce with the Sheaim, pulling her and the armies of her two vassals out of the fight. My forces could no longer count on their support. But no matter, I could invade Sheaim by surprise. Sure enough, by the time my southern forces reached their first target city, there were hardly a few bowman to stop them. The city fell easily.
But I never expected the treason. Right after conquering this city, which lay just between the Sheaim and Ljosalfar lands, the Ljosalfar declared war on me, bringing their vassals the Svartalfar and Elohim along. Suddenly I found an army I could not afford to lose trapped in a city I could not keep in the shadow of four advancing armies. It looked as though I had no way out. So I made a deal with the devil...
I contacted Hyborum the Infernal, knowing the Infernals had no city of their own yet. I offered him the Sheaim city I had just captured for nothing in return. Not only would this put the Sheaim and traitorous Ljosalfar at the Infernal's doorstep, it would also transport my entire army out of harm's way and to the nearest friendly territory.
As luck would have it, that friendly territory turned out to be a small patch of land I own on the other side of a mountain range, deep in Svartalfar territory. Now my men must make a desperate march through enemy land to the Ljosalfar coast before the four armies can find them, or try to capture a city and hold as long as they can...
That's the kind of stuff that happens in this game! An epic fantasy theater for Civ IV!

Ferguson unrest: Police fire tear gas to break up crowds in another night of protests
Published on Aug 19, 2014 12:45 PM
FERGUSON, United States (AFP) - Police fired tear gas to break up protesters in another night of unrest in this Missouri town where a black teen was shot and killed by a white police officer nine days ago.
A street-wide line of police in riot gear, supported by an armoured SWAT vehicle and a helicopter overhead, repeatedly ordered the crowd of about 100 to disperse on Monday night..
They then let loose with a volley of tear gas just after 11 pm (0400 GMT), sending the crowd – smaller than one that clashed with police on Sunday – scurrying into the darkness.
At least two people were seen being arrested, and gun shots – described by one senior police officer as "potshots in the area" – were heard.
But National Guard troops who deployed earlier on Monday in Ferguson to reinforce police remained out of sight, taking up a position instead at a police command centre.
Monday night's standoff occurred near the residential street where 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot by a local police officer in this St Louis suburb.
Pathologists retained by Brown's family said on Monday that the student had been shot at least six times, including twice in the head.
His death has triggered daily protests and nightly clashes with law enforcement officials, and prompted Missouri Governor Jay Nixon to call out the National Guard.

One can't help but notice the sparkle in her eyes as Blackfoot native Monica Nevarez talks about her love of Zumba and her new business venture: Centi-Z-Team. It's a Zumba fitness center, opening May 7 in the El Centenario Event Center (formerly Ridley's Grocery Store) in Blackfoot.
Nevarez describes Zumba as a "calorie-burning Latin inspired-dance fitness workout" that is taking the world and Blackfoot by storm.
"Zumba is amazing," Nevarez said. "Everyone should try it at least once."
DeLoy and Lois Larsen and Bob German had specific reasons for attending Wednesday's candidate forum at the Bingham County Senior Citizens Center.
"I came because I have no idea who to vote for," said Lois.
"I hope to become somewhat informed," DeLoy added.
German said, "I'm tired of people telling me they're conservative when they're not."
They listened to state senate candidates Steve Bair and Cherie Clawson as well as state representative candidates Bob Butler, Mike Duff, Neil Anderson, Jim Marriott, Barbara Clark, Dave Moore and Julie VanOrden.
Bingham County deputies, as well as agencies from Bannock County and Fort Hall, were involved in a standoff on Reservation Road late Wednesday night.

BLACKFOOT — On Tuesday members of the Blackfoot City Council approved discussions with two groups which want to use city property.
Mayor Mike Virtue noted that an organization out of Utah wants to use Jensen Grove Lake for a regional wakeboard competition on July 28. He also noted that another organization would like to use the old BMX track property for ATV training at least one time this summer.
"This sounds like a win-win for the city," said councilman Rich Woodfin.

GMOs, No Grazie!
20 Jun 13
Following another case of illegal planting of genetically modified seeds in the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia a few days ago by the pro-GM president of the Federated Farmers association Giorgio Fidenato, Slow Food is joining thousands of protesters today in Rome to demand the government enacts the EU safeguard clause to ban GM crops.
Organized by the Task Force for Italy Free of GMO's, the protest is being held at 2.30pm outside Rome's Palazzo Montecitorio, headquarters of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. The safeguard clause that would forbid the development and cultivation of genetically modified plants nation-wide is a clause that EU Members States can invoke to temporarily restrict or prohibit the use and/or sale of a GMO within their territory if they have justifiable reasons.
Today is a crucial day for Italy's anti GMO campaigners," said Roberto Burdese, President of Slow Food Italy. "For years we have asked various governments to apply the safeguard clause and a month ago the Senate approved it unanimously. Now we are waiting on the relevant ministries to follow this important act but we find ourselves in the situation where unauthorized plantings have gone unpunished, as happened in the spring of 2010. These are serious acts of provocation."
Seven out of ten Italians do not want to consume GMO products and the vast majority of farmers do not desire to sow genetically modified seeds. All of Italy's regions are in favor of a GMO-Free Italy, however, progress to adopt the safeguard clause (already adopted by eight European countries - France, Germany, Luxembourg, Hungary, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland) has been stalled.
Burdese called upon Slow Food's members and supporters to join today's action, stating: "This is a decisive moment for the preservation of Italy's biodiversity, agricultural heritage and food sovereignty, and thus our economy and culture. We must act now before the chaos around the issue of GMOs increases due to the lack of legislation and the different interpretations that allows this."
Carlo Petrini, President of Slow Food, stated that the illegal planting of maize in the region of Friuli could endanger cereal varieties that are typical of northeastern Italy such as Biancoperlo corn or Vallentina buckwheat listed on the Slow Food Ark of Taste. "Heritage varieties are going to suffer serious attack because of the inaction of those who should protect them through their institutional duty."
Meanwhile in related news, the results of tests commissioned by Friends of the Earth Europe released today show that people in 18 countries across Europe have been found to have traces of the weed killer glyphosate in their urine. The findings raise concerns about increasing levels of exposure to glyphosate-based weed killers, commonly used by farmers, public authorities and gardeners across Europe. The use of glyphosate is predicted to rise further if more genetically modified (GM) crops are grown in Europe. Friends of the Earth Europe is calling on the European Union to urgently investigate how glyphosate is finding its way into people's bodies; to increase the levels of monitoring in the environment and in food and water; and to introduce immediate restrictions on its use.
