Burton people waste £470 worth of food each year
Posted: August 02, 2014|
NEW figures have shone a light on how much waste is thrown out by people in East Staffordshire every single year.
It is estimated that the average home in the area throws away around 260kg of food and drink per year.
It is the equivalent to 5kg per week and 110kg per person per year.
The cost associated with this is £470 per household per year – a figure that balloons to £700 per household per year.
Now people are being urged to 'plan ahead' in a bid to reduce the amount of waste and also to make sure they make an effort to recycle more.
A spokesman for the Staffordshire Waste Partnership said: "Reducing the amount of waste we produce is by far the best thing to do.
"If we all stopped wasting that food, it would have the same environmental impact as taking one in four cars off UK roads.
"By doing easy practical everyday things in the home, we can all waste less food, which saves us money too."
Some top tips for people in East Staffordshire include:
Only cook what is needed – avoid leftover food by cooking only the amount needed;
If you have any food left over, save it for tomorrow's lunch or tea, or freeze it for another day;
Only buy the food that will be eaten this week – don't spend money on items that will run out of their 'use by' dates before you get chance to eat them; and
Anyone who has over-ripened fresh fruit or vegetables should make smoothies or soups.
A detailed breakdown of just what people throw away in East Staffordshire shows that fruit and vegetables equate to the most wasted food.
Next is drink followed by dairy and eggs, entire meals, bakery goods, fresh fruit and meat and fish.
Bosses at East Staffordshire Borough Council are backing plans to 'make the most' of food and drink and help cut waste levels.
People are urged to do this by making sure they follow advice from the Staffordshire Waste Partnership and, if anything, is leftover, they are asked to try and find a way to recycle food.

¶ 1 Except as authorized in RCW 9.41.290, the legislature expressly preempts municipalities from enacting firearm regulations prohibiting the possession of firearms. The City of Seattle appeals the trial court's determination that RCW 9.41.290 preempts the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation from enacting a rule that prohibits the possession of firearms at designated city parks and park facilities open to the public. We affirm.
¶ 2 In 1935, the legislature adopted laws regulating the possession and use of firearms based on the uniform firearms act approved by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and Proceedings. Laws of 1935, ch. 172; Cherry v. Mun. of Metro. Seattle, 116 Wn.2d 794, 800, 808 P.2d 746 (1991).
¶ 3 In 1983, the legislature enacted chapter 9.41 RCW to prevent municipalities from adopting inconsistent laws and ordinances regulating firearms. Laws of 1983, ch. 232, § 12; Cherry, 116 Wash.2d at 801, 808 P.2d 746. Former RCW 9.41.290 provides, in pertinent part:
Laws of 1983, ch. 232, § 12.
¶ 4 In 1985, the legislature amended former RCW 9.41.290 to preempt municipalities from regulating firearms. Laws of 1985, ch. 428, § 1. Former RCW 9.41.290 states:
Laws of 1985, ch. 428, § 1. The legislature also adopted former RCW 9.41.300. Laws of 1985, ch. 428, § 2. Former RCW 9.41.300 prohibits the possession of firearms in certain places and expressly authorizes municipalities to restrict the discharge and possession of firearms. Former RCW 9.41.300(2) also states that "[n]otwithstanding RCW 9.41.290, cities, towns, counties, and other municipalities may enact laws and ordinances" restricting the possession and discharge of firearms in certain places. Laws of 1985, ch. 428, § 2(2).
¶ 5 In 1994, the legislature amended former RCW 9.41.290 and former RCW 9.41.300 to preempt municipalities from regulating the possession of firearms unless "specifically authorized by state law, as in RCW 9.41.300." Laws of 1994, 1st Spec. Sess., ch. 7, § 428. The legislature repealed the language, "Notwithstanding RCW 9.41.290", to make clear its intent to fully occupy and preempt municipalities from regulating firearm possession. Laws of 1994, 1st Spec. Sess., ch. 7, § 429(2).
¶ 6 On June 6, 2008, the mayor of the City of Seattle issued an executive order directing departments to review "all rules, policies, and leases for all City of Seattle properties and amend such rules, policies, and leases in an effort to develop a `gun-free' policy for City of Seattle properties."
¶ 7 On October 13, the Washington State Attorney General issued a formal opinion (AGO) on the question of whether a city has "the authority to enact a local law that prohibits possession of firearms on city property or in city-owned facilities." 2008 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 8, at 1.
2008 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 8, at 1 (quoting RCW 9.41.290), 11.
¶ 8 On October 14, 2009, the City of Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation (Department) issued a "Rule/Policy" that prohibits the possession of firearms "as a Condition of Entry Into or Use of Designated Parks Department Facilities at Which Children and Youth are Likely to be Present" (the Firearms Rule).
¶ 9 The Firearms Rule identifies designated park facilities subject to the Rule:
¶ 10 The Firearms Rule also addresses posting signs prohibiting possession of firearms at designated park facilities prohibiting possession of firearms. Section 5.2 provides:
¶ 11 Section 6.0, "Withdrawal of Permission to Remain at a Particular Designated Facility," states that the Firearms Rule does not include any "Criminal or Civil Penalties." However, Section 6.0 also states that violation of the Firearms Rule "shall be enforced in the same manner and pursuant to the same ordinances and statutes as similar conditions could be enforced by other public or private property owners." Section 6.0 of the Firearms Rule states:
¶ 12 On October 14, the mayor announced the adoption of the Firearms Rule. The press release states that "after signs are posted" notifying the public of the Firearms Rule, possession of firearms is prohibited at designated parks and park facilities. According to the press release, violators of the Firearms Rule are subject to citation or arrest for criminal trespass.
¶ 13 Winnie Chan, Robert Kennar, Raymond Carter, Gray Peterson, and Gary Goedecke filed a lawsuit challenging adoption of the Firearms Rule against the City of Seattle, City of Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, the Department, and the superintendent of the Department (collectively City) and seeking declaratory and injunctive relief.
¶ 14 On cross motions for summary judgment, the court ruled that RCW 9.41.290 preempts the Firearms Rule.
¶ 15 The City contends RCW 9.41.290 does not preempt the Firearms Rule because (1) the City is acting in its proprietary capacity, (2) the Firearms Rule is not a criminal regulation, and (3) the Firearms Rule was not adopted as a law or ordinance.
¶ 16 Under article XI, section 11 of the Washington State Constitution, a city has the authority to "make and enforce within its limits all such local police, sanitary and other regulations as are not in conflict with general laws." A statute preempts regulation of "the same subject if the statute occupies the field." Lawson v. City of Pasco, 168 Wn.2d 675, 679, 230 P.3d 1038 (2010). A statute preempts the field if the legislature expressly states its intent to do so or such intent is necessarily implied. Lawson, 168 Wash.2d at 679, 230 P.3d 1038.
¶ 17 The meaning of a statute is a question of law. We review statutes and questions of law de novo. Berger v. Sonneland, 144 Wn.2d 91, 102-03, 26 P.3d 257 (2001). Our fundamental objective in construing a statute
¶ 18 Except as otherwise authorized, RCW 9.41.290 preempts firearms regulation. RCW 9.41.290 states:
¶ 19 RCW 9.41.300 prohibits the possession of weapons in certain places, and explicitly authorizes municipalities to enact laws and ordinances that restrict the discharge of firearms, prohibit possession of firearms at a stadium or convention center owned by the city, and restricts the locations where firearms may be sold. RCW 9.41.300 states, in pertinent part:
¶ 20 The plain language of RCW 9.41.290 preempts municipalities from enacting laws and ordinances regulating the possession of firearms. The statute states that the "state of Washington hereby fully occupies and preempts the entire field of firearm regulation within the boundaries of the state" and broadly defines firearms regulations to include registration, licensing, possession, purchase, sale, and discharge. RCW 9.41.290.
¶ 21 RCW 9.41.290 also explicitly states that local laws that are "inconsistent with, more restrictive than, or exceed the requirements of state law" are "preempted and repealed, regardless of the nature of the code, charter, or home rule status of such city, town, county, or municipality."
¶ 22 We hold that under the plain language of RCW 9.41.290 and RCW 9.41.300, the City's attempt to regulate the possession of firearms at designated park areas and park facilities open to the public by adopting the Firearms Rule is preempted by state law.
¶ 23 In an effort to avoid the effect of the state law preempting the possession and regulation of firearms, the City relies on two supreme court cases, Cherry and Pacific Northwest Shooting Park Ass'n v. City of Sequim (PNSPA), 158 Wn.2d 342, 144 P.3d 276 (2006), to argue that because it is acting in its proprietary capacity, RCW 9.41.290 does not apply. Neither Cherry nor PNSPA supports the argument that the City has the authority to regulate the possession of firearms at designated park areas and park facilities open to the public.
¶ 24 In Cherry, the court addressed whether RCW 9.41.290 preempts a municipal employer from adopting a policy prohibiting employees from carrying concealed weapons while on the job. Because the language of RCW 9.41.290 did not clearly "invalidate the authority of municipal employers to regulate or otherwise prohibit a municipal employee's possession of firearms while on the job," the court held that the statute "does not address internal employment rules limiting on-duty possession of firearms by public employees in the workplace." Cherry, 116 Wash.2d at 798, 808 P.2d 746. After examining the legislative history, the court states that legislature enacted RCW 9.41.290:
¶ 25 In PNSPA, the Pacific Northwest Shooting Park Association applied for a temporary use permit to hold a gun show at the city's convention center. The city issued the permit with a number of conditions that prohibited unlicensed dealers from purchasing, acquiring, or selling firearms. PNSPA, 158 Wash.2d at 346-47, 144 P.3d 276. PNSPA sued the city alleging tortious interference with a contractual relationship and violation of RCW 9.41.290 and RCW 9.41.300 by imposing unauthorized conditions on gun sales by a private party. PNSPA, 158 Wash.2d at 347-48, 144 P.3d 276.
¶ 26 The court held that the city could impose the conditions because RCW 9.41.300(2)(b) expressly states that cities can restrict the possession of firearms in a convention center. PNSPA, 158 Wash.2d at 355, 144 P.3d 276.
PNSPA, 158 Wash.2d at 357, 144 P.3d 276. However, in reaching the conclusion that the city was acting in its proprietary capacity by imposing conditions on the sales of firearms, the court emphasizes that "[t]he critical point is that the conditions the city imposed related to a permit for private use of its property. They were not laws or regulations of application to the general public." PNSPA, 158 Wash.2d at 357, 144 P.3d 276.
¶ 27 Relying heavily on PNSPA, the City argues that because it is acting in its proprietary capacity, it has the authority to adopt the Firearms Rule. But here, unlike in PNSPA, RCW 9.41.300 does not allow the City to regulate firearms in parks and park facilities open to the public, and the City is not acting as "`the proprietor of a business enterprise'" for private advantage in adopting the Firearms Rule. PNSPA, 158 Wash.2d
¶ 28 Next, the City argues that RCW 9.41.290 does not apply because the Firearms Rule is not a criminal firearms regulation. The City cites to the court's determination in Cherry that the intent of the legislature in adopting RCW 9.41.290 was to eliminate conflicting criminal firearm laws. The City also relies on the language of the Firearms Rule that states: "No Criminal or Civil Penalties. This policy/rule does not include any criminal or civil penalties."
¶ 29 The City also contends that RCW 9.41.290 does not apply because the statute only precludes a municipality from adopting "laws and ordinances" regulating the possession of firearms, and not a rule or policy. But the City cites no support for the proposition that it can regulate the possession of firearms through rule or policy when it cannot do so by law or ordinance.
¶ 30 In the alternative, the City asserts the court erred in granting injunctive relief. We review the decision to grant injunctive relief on summary judgment de novo. Mains Farm Homeowners Ass'n v. Worthington, 121 Wn.2d 810, 813, 854 P.2d 1072 (1993).
¶ 31 To obtain injunctive relief, the plaintiffs had the burden of showing: (1) a clear legal or equitable right, (2) a well-grounded fear of immediate invasion of that right, and (3) that the acts complained of either result in or will result in actual and substantial injury. Tyler Pipe Indus., Inc. v. Dep't of Revenue, 96 Wn.2d 785, 792, 638 P.2d 1213 (1982). All three criteria must be met. Wash. Fed'n of State Emps., Council 28, AFL-CIO v. State, 99 Wn.2d 878, 888, 665 P.2d 1337 (1983). Because injunctive relief is equitable in nature, the criteria establishing injunctive relief should also include balancing the "relative interests of the parties and, if appropriate, the interests of the public." Tyler Pipe, 96 Wash.2d at 792, 638 P.2d 1213.
¶ 32 The City argues the plaintiffs have not established either a clear legal right under
¶ 33 There is no dispute that the plaintiffs possess valid concealed pistol permits. Unless otherwise prohibited by state law, a person with a valid permit is allowed to carry a concealed pistol "for the purposes of protection or while engaged in business, sport, or while traveling." RCW 9.41.070. There is also no dispute that the plaintiffs were not allowed to possess firearms at designated parks or park facilities open to the public. The record shows that the court took into consideration the express language of state law and the interests of the parties. The court is not required to take into account the interests of the public. Tyler Pipe, 96 Wash.2d at 792, 638 P.2d 1213. The trial court did not err in entering an order granting injunctive relief by enjoining enforcement of the Firearms Rule and requiring the City to remove the signs prohibiting the public from possessing firearms at designated park facilities. See Ronken v. Bd. of County Comm'rs of Snohomish County, 89 Wn.2d 304, 311, 572 P.2d 1 (1977).
¶ 34 In sum, we hold that RCW 9.41.290 preempts the Firearms Rule. Except as expressly authorized by the legislature, municipalities are prohibited from regulating the possession of firearms at city-owned park facilities open to the public. Whether to amend RCW 9.41.300 to prohibit possession of firearms at city-owned parks and park facilities frequented by children and youth is a question for the legislature to decide.
¶ 35 We affirm.

Super Duke Tachometer Problems
I have a 2008 Super Duke that had the instrument cluster replaced with the 2010 version due to the original leaking water and breaking completely. The new instrument cluster has been on there for a little under 2 years now and recently the tachometer has been having issues. Usually, after about 45 minutes to an hour of riding the tach will start reading very low rpm's. Eventually, idle will start showing as zero rpm's on the tach and at full throttle the tach will only go up to about 4,000 rpm's. I can tell the engine is actually idling and revving perfectly but the tach is giving false readings for some reason?
The last time I went riding the tach had a new trick where it showed idle as 4,000 rpm's and just twisting the throttle slightly would push the tach to redline. Again, the engine is working perfectly it's the tachometer itself that's acting strange. Then once the bike cools back down the tach goes back to giving proper readings again.
I know some guys have had their instruments give false readings when their batteries and or regulators start going bad. I'm probably going to replace both since I'm still on the originals and figure it's only a matter of time until they leave me stranded. Maybe that will fix the problem, I'm really hoping it's not another faulty instrument cluster because they are very expensive and their reliability appears to be pretty poor. I did check the voltage on the battery, it's around 12.6V when cold after not having been run for several days. With the engine running the voltage holds at a steady 14.35V. Could it be that as the regulator heats up it eventually starts to drop voltage? I've never actually tested it after a long ride or anything to know if that could be happening.
I know the SMT and Adventure share the same instrument cluster as the SD so I was wondering have you guys experienced any problems like what I've described with your tachometer? If so, how did you fix it?

Earlier today, we wondered why the communications people over at Mattel hadn't answered any questions about a book starring Barbie as a computer engineer. Barbie's "engineering" job consisted of designing puppies while having male colleagues code the game and reboot her computer. This isn't just sexist, but an inaccurate representation of what computer engineers do. Good news: Steven and Brian managed to get the virus off PR Barbie's computer, and the book's author has spoken up as well. UPDATE: Amazon also appears to have pulled the e-book version of this title. [More]

Soup Nazi Back In Business, But Not Actually Around To Yell At You
Al Yeganeh, the man who inspired Seinfeld's Soup Nazi character, closed up shop six years ago, but this week he re-opened his business at the same location on 55th Street in NYC under the name "The Original Soup Man." The company is now a franchise with locations in nine states and Washington, D.C., and unfortunately (for us, but probably not for him) Yeganeh doesn't actually do any counterwork–he's just the brand at this point.

I'm more concerned about the animations. Why can't companies get these walk cycles right? That's like the first thing they teach you in school.

Unless you have been keeping an extremely low profile (like living beneath a rock?), you'll be well aware that one of the world's premiere boat shows, the Fort Lauderdale International, opens its doors tomorrow (October 27).
No one fits out an engine room as well as the Cigarette Racing Team, This Mercury Racing installation is the driving force behinid the 39 Top Gun Unlimited. - Cigarette smokin at Fort Lauderdale
This exhibition can only be termed 'massive' and is spread across six of the largest marina facilities in the Fort Lauderdale area.
For the recreational boating industry in the United States, the Fort Lauderdale show is one that no major boat builder can afford to miss.
All the heavyweights of the industry will be there, not only from the USA, by the way, but the top boat manufacturers from Europe, Asia and Australia.
With its headquarters and manufacturing plant being in the area, it should come as no surprise that legendary performance boat builder, the Cigarette Racing Team, will host a major display at Fort Lauderdale.
The company plans on unveiling what it terms its 'new generation' of performance, a range of desirable boats that will clearly demonstrate why the prestigious marque carrying the famous #1 graphic continues to be the icon of high performance boating.
Cigarette Racing Team claims it has dedicated itself to the pursuit of building 'the perfect powerboat', and this has culminated in the design and engineering of the new 39' Top Gun Unlimited being released at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
Essentially, there will be three new models based on one hull – the proven and superb 39' (11.88-metres), comprising the previously-mentioned Top Gun Unlimited, the 39 Top Fish Cuddy and the 39 Top Fish Open.
Smooth as 'shot silk', the Cigarette Top Fish and its triple Mercury Verado powerplant is at home on the plane. - Cigarette smokin at Fort Lauderdale
The 39 Top Gun Unlimited allows Cigarette customers to 'kick up a notch' with this absolute stunner.
With staggered Mercury Racing 700hp engines and NXT drives, this is a true performer in every sense of the word.
Its Mercury Racing and Garmin instrumentation stand out thanks to its black, carbon fibre dashboard, while its superb paint design combines matt black, bright blue and lipstick red accents on a shimmering white pearl.
The sharp black and white Daytona-style interior shows Cigarette's unrelenting attention to detail, with white on white double stitching and design accents in the cockpit are carried through to the smart interior.
An all-new engine hatch design is yet another Cigarette statement on performance; expanding the air intake and cooling of the higher horsepower engines inspired the new design.
The hatch includes two 3-D stainless steel panels framing a large sunpad with added stainless steel screens acting as an air induction system.
They certainly add a touch of 'bling' to the boat and provide a design addition ensuring the boat is as 'cool' as its owner, a must when you're making a very cool 100mph (160km//hr).
Cigarette's centre console fish boats have been worldwide winners for the Florida company and now the 39 Top Fish Cuddy can now allow all on board to take cover from the sun thanks to its fibreglass hard top.
There's even air conditioning within the cuddy cabin for the more sensitive souls aboard.
With a sparkling all black hull and sporty red striping and three Mercury 300hp Verado outboard engines at its transom, the 39 Top Fish Cuddy boats true 'eye appeal.'
The 39 Top Fish Open offers additional cockpit space around its beautifully-designed centre console and boats the same 'grunt' as the Top Fish Cuddy via a tripe Mercury Verado outboard installation.
As we've come to expect from Cigarette, the helm aboard the Top Fish can only be described as faultless. - Cigarette smokin at Fort Lauderdale
This 2012 Cigarette line-up clearly shows the work, skill and dedication the company invests into each of its models.
It must be said that outstanding design, engineering, service and satisfaction rate as 'standard' when dealing with the Cigarette Racing Team.
I guess there's another reason why the Cigarette Racing Team can look forward to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
For the second consecutive year, America's Powerboat Magazine readers have anointed Cigarette as 'Favourite Vee Bottom Boat.'
The 'main man', Cigarette Racing Tean CE0 Skip Braver. - Cigarette smokin at Fort Lauderdale
Skip Braver, CEO of Cigarette, said the recognition was much appreciated.
'The whole Cigarette Racing Team is totally committed to the company's reputation and we work extremely hard to raise the calibre of our boats in every model year,' he added.
'Only the best technology, materials are employed and skilled craftsmen and women strive to build each Cigarette.
'We are proud of our boats, proud of our crew of dedicated workers and most of all proud of our customers who enjoy the results,' he added.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I was born and raised in a small beach town in SoCal. I love traveling and being outdoors and appreciate all things artistic. I tend to gravitate towards people with a good sense of humor and a love of laughter. I am looking for someone who shares similar interests and enjoys going to music shows, traveling, camping, the beach, dogs, being weird and random, and someone who may have some edge to them.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I am currently working for an art based apparel brand and enjoy waking up everyday to go to work. I love the people and culture of my company, which helps make my work life just as fun to live as my everyday life outside of the office.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I love to laugh and smile.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Honestly, not the biggest reader of books, but it's on my list of things to do. I enjoy watching mostly Comedies and Dramas, but love a good Horror film every now and then (Top 3: Kill Bill I&II, American Beauty, The Doom Generation). Music is my life; I have it playing all day long. I like Indie/Electronic Rock mostly, but will never turn down any 90's Rap or Classic Rock. Mixes from Joy Division, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Stone Roses, to Neil Young, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Stones, to Dr. Dre, Outkast, The Grouch, to Chromatics, Washed Out, Blood Orange, Hot Chip, Cut Copy, and of course Bob Marley… and the list goes on. I usually stay away from top 40's. For food, I like to eat healthy for the most part, but also eat to live, not live to eat. I am not a huge foodie, but I can get down on some Del Taco at 3am too when the drunken munchies kick in.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
1) Family/Friends
2) Music
3) Travel/New Experiences
4) The Beach/Sun
5) Laughter
6) Green Juice

Welcome to Spiel, the JC's blog.
Money grows on trees at the BBC
There's an excellent clip on Comment Central of an interview given in defence of the Speaker by George Foulkes.
I have to say, however, that I am far more interested in the revelation by the presenter that she is paid £92,000 a year.
Her name is Carrie Gracie. Until now, I had never heard of her, or - as far as I can remember - seen her. She is in every way I can judge, entirely unremarkable. And yet this woman takes home £92,000 of our money.
Train spotting
It's 76 miles from Kettering to London. How long do you think it takes by train?
Eighteen hours.
Or rather, eighteen hours if you make the journey on Saturday week, involving seven changes and
five bus replacement drives on a 295-mile tour.
Court raps US teacher for slamming creationismSimon Rocker
May 12, 2009
A teacher in a public school in southern California violated the constitutional separation between church and state when he condemned creationism as "superstitious nonsense", a court has found.
Guardian commentator Andrew Brown concludes: "The result of this case... is that evolution becomes harder to teach, and creationism harder to mock, because science and atheism have become so entangled in the public mind."
I'm not sure if I believe this story:
A Muslim catering manager has accused the
Metropolitan Police of religious discrimination as he was told he may
have to handle sausages and bacon.
Hasanali Khoja was told he would be expected to handle pork
products at his new job at the Empress State Building in Earls Court,
west London.
His lawyer said Mr Khoja was excused from pork meat in his previous job at Hendon Police College in north London.
Jordan and Peter Andre splitAlex Kasriel
May 11, 2009
The couple have just released an official statement confirming they have separated.
Whatever you think about the glamour model (real name Katie Price), her lewd antics and her pneumatic breasts, it is still a sad fact that her marriage of four years is over.
This is especially true as they have two children together: Junior, three, and one-year-old daughter Princess Tiáamii. And Jordan, who is halachically Jewish has another son, Harvey, six by footballer Dwight Yorke.
BBC gets it wrong as always
Shockingly bad coverage of the Pope's visit to Israel on the BBC. I've just watched the 5pm bulletin on News 24, and the reporter, Paul Wood, comment thus on Benedict's opening remarks:
For the Israeli government, these were unwelcome words. They don't want a two-state solution - a Palestinain state alongside Israel. The Pope does.
This from an expert correspondent? Can Mr Wood really not get his mind round the distinction between not publicly embracing an idea and being opposed to it? Formal acceptance of the idea of a two-state solution is simply being held in reserve by Netanyahu in return for...well, that's the real question.
When 'Middle East' really means ArabJan Shure
May 11, 2009
We are, in case you need reminding, half way through 2009; it is 31 years since the Camp David agreement, close to 20 years since the Arab boycott of Israel officially ended and 16 years since Yitzhak Rabin and Yassir Arafat shook hands on the White House lawn, leading - supposedly - to the normalization of relations between Israel and its Arab neighbours.
Yet how often does the phrase "Middle Eastern" in any kind of commercial context, actually include Israel, and how often is it a handy euphemism for "Arab nations", invariably excluding Israel.
This is always made very clear at the UK's main travel exhibition, World Travel Market, held each November - these days at ExCel in Docklands, but in former years at Earls Court. Whatever the venue, the "Middle East" invariably fails to include Israel; at last November's show, Israel was somewhere between Greece and Portugal in the North Hall sector entitled "Europe and Mediterranean", while all of its geographical neighbours were located in the South Hall sector named "Middle East and North Africa". The organizers of WTM may, of course, have placed Israel there on security grounds, possibly at the request of Israel.
I hold no brief for the Evening Standard under its old regime. But compared to the new look paper... The relentless froth and puffery is plain dull. I can't think of a single reason why anyone would buy it, rather than grab one of the freesheets.
As for the paper's 'Sorry' campaign - here's what the previous editor, Veronica Wadley,. has to say:
London is laughing at this ludicrous campaign. Saying 'Sorry' for
the past smacks of a Soviet courtroom 'confession'. 'Sorry' has all the
hallmarks of a KGB-style smear campaign. It denigrates the judgment of
500,000 loyal readers who have been buying the paper in recent years.
A LittlejohnJenni Frazer
May 11, 2009
New readers start here. A favourite catchphrase of the columnist Richard Littlejohn is "You couldn't make it up."
Much the same thought flickered briefly this morning as I listened to the long litany of excuses trotted out by MPs caught in the Telegraph's relentless spotlight over the parliamentary expenses scandal.
My absolute fave today was the Conservative woman (her name, mercifully, escapes me) who, having had the temerity to claim for dog food, now thinks that she's making things right by repaying the claim — a whole £4. This is not just chutzpah, this is 24-carat gold chutzpah. Like I said, A Littlejohn.
The Pope is deeply suspect to Jewish eyes (The Times)
I have a piece in today's Times on the Pope's visit to Israel. You can read it here.
This is the conclusion:
If ever there was a case for avoiding public display and concentrating
on quiet activity, surely it is this. Instead of a visit that risks
inflaming already heated passions, far better to let the Pope's future
deeds demonstrate that his actions to date have been an aberration.

Discover what's up in the business of marketing each Friday.
The Formula Behind The Facebook "Like" Number
Facebook's private messages spawned quite an uproar last week when it was uncovered that messages were not only being crawled, but also used towards the overall "Like data" of a page. One of the important lessons that marketers learned from the situation was that the "Like count" wasn't really about likes, rather other interactions (and messaging) that occurs on Facebook. This led us to ask the question — Just what does count towards the Facebook Like data?
According to the official Facebook Developers page, four different variables make up the Like number:
The number shown is the sum of:
- The number of likes of this URL
- The number of shares of this URL (this includes copy/pasting a link back to Facebook)
- The number of likes and comments on stories on Facebook about this URL
- The number of inbox messages containing this URL as an attachment.
Unpon further review, we've uncovered more variables that affect "Like data" and will clarify the exact formula. We've reached out to a Facebook spokesperson and have confirmed that the following elements all are counted into the overall Facebook Like data.
Number of Page Likes
Where this occurs:
Directly on a web page with the Facebook Like social plugin
How the Like data is influenced:
A user browsing a web page simply clicks on the "Like' button and an additional vote is added to the Like data count.
Number of Page Shares
Where this occurs:
On a web page, using the "send button on the Facebook Social Plugin
How the Like data is influenced:
The Facebook like button social plugin can be configured to show both the "like" and "send" buttons. On pages that have both buttons configures, a user that simply "sends" the post (using the like button) will add 1 to the overall Like data.
Number of Facebook Posts
Where this occurs:
On Facebook
How the Like data is influenced:
A user creates a new post and includes a link in the post. Each post is counted in the overall Like data.
Number of Facebook Post Likes
Where this occurs:
On Facebook, on an existing post
How the Like data is influenced:
A user viewing their news feed sees post with an interesting link and likes the actual Facebook post.
Number of Post Shares
Where this occurs:
On Facebook, from within the News Feed
How the Like data is influenced:
A user finds a shared link in their News Feed and shares with their audience. Each of these shares is counted in the overall Like data.
Number of Post Comments
Where this occurs:
On Facebook Posts
How the Like data is influenced:
A user sees a shared link in their News Feed and comments on it. The overall like data is positively influenced when the comment is added.
Number of Post Comments with Links
Where this occurs:
On Facebook Posts that do not have a link in the original post
How the Like data is influenced:
A user sees a friend's post that does not have originally have a link included. The user comments on their friend's post with a link included in the comment. The Like Data for the link within the comment is then positively influenced.
Number of Messages
Where this occurs:
Within Facebook chat
How the Like data is influenced:
If a user copies a link to a direct message and sends to another user, like data is increased for the URL being sent. This number is only increased on a per-user basis; user's can't continually send messages to inflate counts.
Number of URL Comments (if using Facebook comments)
Where this occurs:
On a URL that is using the Facebook comments plugin
How the Like data is influenced:
A user is reading an article on a specific website that has the Facebook comments plugin installed. When the comment is made on the page, the like data increases.
So, yes, the Facebook Like button absolutely pulls in much more data than just those simply clicking a button on the page. With the recent overall reach decreases the value of Facebook engagement couldn't be higher. An engaged user (whether they are in favor of a topic or not) is added to the overall "Like data" of a link, so make sure to get folks talking about you if tying to boost those Like numbers.

Emilio Carranza
Captain Emilio Carranza Rodríguez (December 9, 1905 – July 12, 1928) was a noted Mexican aviator and national hero, nicknamed the "Lindbergh of Mexico". He was killed while returning from a historic goodwill flight from Mexico City to the United States.
He was the great-nephew of President Venustiano Carranza of Mexico and his elder second cousin was Mexican aviator Alberto Salinas Carranza, whom he called "uncle."[1] At age 18, he took part against the Yaqui rebellion in Sonora and helped to put down the de la Huerta rebellion. While in Sonora, he crashed and his face had to be reassembled with platinum screws. At age 22, on May 24–25, 1928, he set the record for the third longest non-stop solo flight by flying 1,875 miles (3000 km) from San Diego, California to Mexico City in 18.5 h.
In 1928, he became a national hero when he was selected to undertake a goodwill flight from Mexico City to Washington, D.C. in response to the previous year's flight between the two capitals by Charles Lindbergh. Flying his plane The Mexico Excelsior, a Ryan Brougham similar to the Spirit of St. Louis, Carranza reached Washington, D.C on June 12, 1928, after a forced landing in North Carolina. At Bolling Field, he was greeted by Acting Secretary of State Robert Olds, Mexican Ambassador Miguel Tellez, other dignitaries and spectators. The next day, he had lunch with U.S. President Calvin Coolidge whom hosted the aviator at the Pan American Union. According to the New York Times, the two had to have lunch there because The White House larder was empty due to the first family's impending departure for a vacation. [2] Flying on to New York, Carranza landed at Roosevelt Field on Long Island and was honored in New York City by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover and New York City mayor Jimmy Walker. Owing to violent weather, he was urged to remain in New York by Charles Lindbergh and others.
There is a story that on July 12 Carranza received a telegram from Mexican War Minister Joaquín Amaro ordering his immediate return to Mexico City "or the quality of your manhood will be in doubt." According to the legend, the telegram was found at the crash site in the pocket of the aviator's flight jacket, but the telegram no longer exists. The story's proponents do not cite any primary source that confirms the telegram's existence.[3][4]
Contemporaneous news reports contradict the story. According to the July 13, 1928 New York Times, Carranza departed after receiving a report via telegram from the US Weather Bureau, but it is unclear whether the weather report prompted his departure. Airport officials said he announced a delay so that spectators would leave the field.[5] [6] [7]
Carranza took off after dark during a break in thunderstorms in the New York region. While flying over the Pinelands of southern New Jersey amidst thunderstorms, he crashed into the woods. A family out picking huckleberries discovered his body and the wreckage the next day. His corpse was wrapped in canvas from the plane's fuselage and taken to a garage behind Willis Jefferson Buzby's General Store in Chatsworth where it was placed in a makeshift coffin. [8] [9]
Authorities initially identified Carranza's body from the Weather Bureau telegram found in his flight jacket pocket, according to news reports. [10] [11] Authorities described to reporters the belongings found on his body, but made no reference to a telegram from Minister Amaro. The news reports are contrary to the Amaro telegram story published on the 50th anniversary of the aviator's death, which states that the Minister's telegram was found in Carranza's jacket pocket.
In 2007, documentary filmmaker Robert A. Emmons Jr. completed and premiered a feature length documentary detailing the life of Emilio Carranza and the role of the American Legion Post 11 and the town of Chatsworth, NJ's involvement in his recovery and memorial.
In April 2009, J&J Video Producers of Chicago premiered their documentary film titled "FLYING WITH EMILIO". The documentary details the life of Emilio Carranza and the continued role of the American Legion Post 11 of Mount Holly, NJ's involvement in his recovery and their annual Memorial Service.[12]
Carranza Memorial[edit]
A 12 ft (3.6 m) monument in the Wharton State Forest in Tabernacle Township, New Jersey marks the site of his crash 39°46′38.6″N 74°37′56.6″W / 39.777389°N 74.632389°W. The monument, installed with funds donated by Mexican schoolchildren, depicts a falling eagle of Aztec design. Every July on the Saturday nearest the anniversary of his crash (second Saturday in July) at 1:00 p.m. he is honored at the monument site by members of the American Legion Medford post 526 accompanied by an entourage from the Mexican consulates in New York City and Philadelphia.[13]

When you leave the military, the biggest question is "what's next?" It's a scary job market right now, but the skills you've received in the military make you highly marketable. The Legion sponsors dozens of veterans hiring fairs each year, and our employment experts also provide tips to writing resumes, networking and making a strong impression in the interview process.
Last month, homeless service providers, community outreach organizations and government agencies met at American Legion Post 471 in Iselin, N.J., to discuss best practices in housing veterans and keeping them off the streets.
"Housing Our Heroes" – hosted by the New Jersey State Parole Board, the Legion's Department of New Jersey, and New Jersey Department of Military and Veteran Affairs – facilitated communications among those in attendance to find ways to continue improving a homeless veterans problem that has gotten significantly better in the past three years.
Mark Walker, deputy director of the Legion's Economic Division, was the keynote speaker at the event. He was joined by New Jersey Department Commander Gene O'Grady, Past Department Commander Bob Looby, Post 471 commander Ronald Davie, and Paul McIntyre and Leonard Ward from the New Jersey State Parole Board.
The event focused on finding future solutions to the homeless veterans problem – whether it's providing them transitional housing, living stipends or additional permanent living options.
"Some estimates have found that veteran homelessness has gone down about 17 percent in the past three years," Walker said. "We're encouraged by those numbers, but we can't rest on our laurels. We need to find ways to reach the remaining veterans who are on the streets."
Housing Our Heroes is an event sponsored by the Department of New Jersey, New Jersey State Parole Board, and New Jersey Department of Military and VA. In its third meeting on Feb. 15, representatives from the various agencies, organizations and providers in attendance networked with each other, gave presentations and shared ideas on ending veteran homelessness.
Lead by heavy backing from the Legion's Department of New Jersey, New Jersey is one of the most proactive states in the fight against veterans homelessness. A consortium of around 140 agencies and outreach providers, including the Legion, are all actively confronting veterans homelessness in their state and finding ways to finally end the problem. Events like Housing Our Heroes facilitate the conversation.
"New Jersey is really doing some great things when it comes to veteran homelessness," Walker said. "The dialogue that is constantly ongoing in the state about the homelessness problem should be imitated in other parts of the country."

Looks Nice, Not High Quality
This set looks really nice, and it great for the money. However, it is not a super comfy comforter and you can feel the filler in clumps on the inside. Also awkward when trying to move your feet around underneath, they seem to get caught up in it a lot. It does not seem to wash well either. Not sure if it isn't absorbing the water or what the issue is, but I often have to flip it over and wash a second time to ensure the whole thing gets cleaned.Read More

Northwest winds accompany high pressure and dry weather.

I will go the new chainring route and keep it simple. I didn't know I could get a 24 in 74 BCD. Thinking 50-36-24, that gives me a good spread of choices with my 34-12 cassette. It is just like my compact road cranks with the 24 for loaded hills, I like it.
I started looking for chainrings online and there aren't many places that have much selection, any suggestions.
A better bet would be the Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires. Q Tubes. With some of Schwalbe's Doc Blue put in the tubes will have you almost flawless.
I am intrigued by the new 2x stuff, but I personally need lower gears that a 26/38 would provide.

I recall in 1968 his print of Garrapata Beach was offered at the Focus Gallery in San Francisco for $45. I checked the print bin on every visit and it was still there, month after month.

Originally written on NY Rangers Blog | Last updated 10/27/12
NHL.com announced on Thursday the New York Rangers in conjunction with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation launched the third year of their special indoor youth hockey clinic. Over the next several weeks, children will be offered a series of free street hockey sessions at area recreation centers, offering kids the opportunity to play the game while learning about the importance of exercising. The program started in 2010 with 650 children and has expanded to involve 2,500 participants at 50 different location. Rangers legend Adam Graves was on hand for the announcement. The weekly clinics will begin in December throughout the NYC area. Registration for the free clinics is open and runs through Nov. 30. Interested participants can register at www.nyrangers.com or www.nyc.gov/parks. ...if there's no NHL to enjoy, at least kids in NYC can get free street hockey sessions. It's a great cause.

Today, the Energy and Commerce Committee released the final language for the 21st Century Cures Initiative. This bill is similar to what was reported unanimously out of the Energy and Commerce Committee in June 2015. A few changes include reducing the new NIH funding increase from $10 billion to $8.75 billion in mandatory spending over the next five years and finalizing the interoperability language. We expect a vote in the full House of Representatives as early as next Thursday.
The House overwhelmingly passed the Medicare physician-reform bill, also known as the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) "doc fix", on Thursday afternoon by a vote of 392-27, with 212 Republicans and 108 Democrats voting in favor of the legislation. The bill, which we outlined in more detail in an earlier update, will phase in a new payment system over the next few years that will focus on rewarding doctors who provide high-value—as opposed to high-volume—care. It will also extend funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for another two years.
On March 31, 2015, the current "patch" for SGR will expire. The Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula, which was first implemented in 1997, calls for automatic reductions in Medicare reimbursement rates for providers if overall Medicare spending exceeds a target rate. Without further action by Congress to temporarily avoid the cuts or permanently replace the flawed formula, providers will face a 25% cut in reimbursements beginning April 1, 2015.
Today, President Obama released his $4.066 trillion budget proposal for fiscal year (FY) 2016, outlining the administration's policy priorities for the coming year, which is largely viewed as a Democratic blueprint for lofty policy proposals that will face strong opposition by the Republican-controlled Congress.
The National Transitions of Care Coalition is a 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to addressing a serious U.S. health care issue: filling the gaps that occur when patients leave one care setting and move to another care setting. These transitions include patients moving from primary care to specialty physicians; moving or transferring patients from the emergency department to intensive care or surgery; and when patients are discharged from the hospital to home, assisted living arrangements, or skilled nursing facilities. The U.S. health care system often fails to meet the needs of patients during these transitions because care is rushed and responsibility is fragmented, with little communication across care settings and multiple providers.
Since 2006, NTOCC's Advisors Council of over 30 organizations has shared a common goal of improving the quality of Transitions of Care. Working in conjunction with 450 Associate Member organizations and over 3,000 individual professional subscribers, NTOCC has developed tools and resources made available to everyone in the health care industry including providers, payers, patients and consumers. NTOCC's mission is supported by the Partners Council made up of innovative companies leading critical change in health care coordination.
