Comments Thread For: Andrew Selby is Looking To Make History in Minsk
Andrew Selby will bid to make history by becoming the first British boxer to retain a European Amateur title in Minsk next month.
The Welsh flyweight is one of a 13-strong elite squad named by GB Boxing on Wednesday for the tournament in the Belarusian capital from June 1 to June 8.
Selby, clinched the title in Ankara in 2011 with a close points win over Russia's Georgy Balakshin, is joined by England pair Gamal Yafai and Charlie Edwards, who have previously won European bronze medals.
But there is no place in the squad for Olympic super-heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, who is still mulling over his future options and is yet to sign a contract committing himself to the GB set-up.

I've said it before imo Andrew Selby is the most naturally gifted fighter in the UK, he can do it all, never any guarantees that gifted amateurs will adapt to the pro's but I'd be very surprised if he didn't given his ability.
His brother Lee looks a real talent also - still v much a work in progress though.
Andrew - needs to turn pro soon - maybe stay on till the next World's but Olympics aside, there is nothing left for him in the Amateur's. He'd be 27/28 i think if he waited for the next Olympics and can get injured anytime (then it's 3 years down the drain).

Oxford-based research into autism has hit a major breakthrough, equivalent to one which revoluntionised the understanding of cancer 30 years ago. Scientists at Oxford University were one of three major studies to have identified the genetic mechanisms underlying autistic disorders. Thousands of volunteers had their DNA screened and the scientists believe it has lifted the lid on the causes of autism.
They believe proteins called cell adhesion molecules, which play a vital role in shaping brain "wiring", and the way nerve cells communicate, play a key role in autism disorders. Study leader, Prof Tony Monaco, from the Wellcome Trust for Human Genetics at Oxford, said: "Most of the genes that have been identified in these studies are involved in the connections between neurons called synapses.
"This does seem to fit with what we know from brain scans — that people with autism may show different or reduced connectivity between different parts of the brain. "This new knowledge allows us to focus our studies on developing new treatments and intervention therapies for the future." Autism covers a group of conditions known as autism spectrum disorders and affects about one in 150 children, most of whom are male. They find it harder to communicate, have repetitive and narrowly focused behaviour.

Fox Broadcasting Company announced Monday it will not carry President Barack Obama's prime time press conference marking his first 100 days in office, the first time a broadcast network has refused an Obama administration request for that valuable airtime.
The network will instead carry its regularly scheduled episode "Lie to Me," according to its Web site. The show is among the network's most popular and draws an average of 13 million viewers a week. That compares to the relatively paltry 4.2 million who watched the president's last prime-time press conference on Fox. In all, close to 40 million watched that event on one of the eight networks that carried it.

Chris Gregory, 30, shocked his family by belting out a version of Irish ballad Danny Boy from his hospital bed, even though he has never visited the country. Greeting his wife Mary with "It's da broid', he continued to speak in the new accent for 30 minutes until his normal voice returned.
Mr Gregory's strange behaviour – apparently the result of a rare condition called Foreign Accent Syndrome – lifted the mood of the intensive care ward at Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire Hospital where he was recovering from surgery to correct a life-threatening blood vessel rupture in his brain.
"All the nurses were trying really hard not to laugh, and I was too. I just couldn't take it in at first, it seemed so comical, but it didn't matter at all because I'd been so worried about losing him altogether," Mrs Gregory, 36, told the Mail.

It's been three full years since they last pranced across area fields as football and lacrosse stars for Somers High School. But the name "Rabidou" is still very much alive in the minds of area residents, as Brendan Curran learned.
Curran, the former varsity boys lacrosse coach at Scarsdale who will be guiding North Salem in its inaugural season next spring, is the general manager of the Renegades, an Under-14 select summer tournament team made up of eighth- and ninth-grade players from Westchester and Fairfield counties.
"When they heard I was getting the Rabidou twins to coach this team, that was all they needed to know," Curran said. "The kids really respect them as players, and as coaches. They've had a lot of fun being taught by them. They're like big brothers to the kids."
They're also two of the best lacrosse players to have come through the area — and with each stop they've made along the way, Jordan and Ryan Rabidou have been together. Call them the Lower Hudson Valley's own version of former Syracuse stars Paul and Gary Gait.
They helped Somers win four straight sectional titles and ended their varsity careers with a trip to the state championship game for the first time in school history, as Jordan, a four-time all-section midfielder, became the Tuskers' only two-time all-American, and Ryan, an attackman, was their top goal scorer.
As captains of Somers' football team their senior year, they helped the Tuskers make their third straight bowl appearance.
They were also standouts in track, Jordan winning a pair of sectional titles and Ryan setting a school record in the high jump.
Now 22, they're heading into their senior season on the lacrosse team at Loyola College in Baltimore. The 5-foot-9, 178-pound Jordan led the Greyhounds in ground balls and faceoffs won last season. After spending his first two years as a reserve, Ryan, who is 5-11 and 155 pounds, was the Greyhounds' third-leading scorer.
"I want to play in college one day, and to have them as coaches teaching me is pretty cool," said 14-year-old Bobby Sincero of Verplanck, a goaltender for the Renegades. "Jordan coaches the defense and Ryan does the offense. I know we've gotten a lot better since the first practice. Already, we're a lot more unified."
Though it's their first coaching venture, it's hardly surprising that the Rabidous have embraced it.
Their father, the late Bruce Rabidou, was a health teacher and coach at Somers High for more than 30 years.
"They always say that sons of coaches often wind up being some of the best coaches," Jordan said.
The Rabidous also have the benefit of three years playing at the Division I level.
"We basically have put in the whole Loyola offense and the Loyola defense on this team," Jordan said.
"But we're simplifying it," Ryan added. "The three main things we're emphasizing are ball movement, teamwork and being unselfish."
The 24-player team, which is playing in tournaments each weekend this month, practices twice a week — usually at Ridgefield High School's turf field in Connecticut.
There's little time for the Rabidous to rest or relax during the remaining days of the week because they provide private lessons. About 70 percent of their clients are seventh- and eighth-graders.
"We started doing it in the summer going into our senior year in high school," Ryan said. "We had five kids at first. Since then, we've worked with around 40 kids from age 7 on up. I'm booked from the morning till at night."
"It's an all-day thing — every day," Jordan said.
It should come as no surprise that after college, the Rabidous are planning to launch their own lacrosse-related business.
"We would like to start out with an online store and also an actual store that people can come to," Ryan said.
The idea came to them after they worked a camp in Minnesota last summer.
"The game is growing so fast over there," Ryan said. "We met this one guy out there who started a store, and he's doing so well with it because right now, he doesn't have much competition."
The Rabidous have not decided on a location for their business yet, but Ryan was quick to name some possibilities.
"San Diego, Miami, Arizona, Rhode Island," he said. "We had a vision of lacrosse getting real big when we were kids, and each year it keeps growing even more. But beyond that, we've always felt that you can't really fail when you turn your passion into your pride."

What happens when you get dentures?
What Happens When You Get Dentures?
A denturist can make a full conventional denture when all teeth have been lost or all extraction sites have healed (up to eight weeks or longer).
The denture process takes about three to seven appointments: the initial diagnosis is made; an impression and a wax bite are made to determine vertical dimensions and proper jaw position; a "try-in" is placed to assure proper color, shape and fit; and the patient's final denture is placed following any minor adjustments.
Since both appearance and function are important features of your dentures, digital photography is frequently used to help guide you in making decisions about your dentures.
New denture wearers need time to get accustomed to their new "teeth" because even the best fitting dentures will feel awkward at first. While some patients can begin to speak normally within a few hours, some patients report discomfort with eating or chewing for several days to a few weeks. To get accustomed to chewing with a new denture, start with soft, easy to chew foods. In addition, denture wearers often notice a slight change in facial appearance, increased salivary flow or minor speech difficulty.
While you may be advised to wear your denture almost constantly during the first two weeks even while you sleep, under normal circumstances it is considered best to remove it at night. Research has shown that removing the denture for at least eight hours during either the day or night allows gum tissue to rest and allows normal stimulation and cleansing by the tongue and saliva. This promotes better long-term health of the gums.
It is important to continue having regular dental checkups so that a dentist can examine oral tissues for signs of disease or cancer. As a result of normal aging, your mouth will change as the bone under your denture shrinks or recedes. To maintain proper fit over time, it may be necessary to adjust your denture or possibly remake your denture. Never attempt to adjust a denture yourself and do not use denture adhesives for a prolonged period because doing so can contribute to bone loss. When in doubt, consult your denturist or dentist.
At A Dental and Denture Associates, we are available as needed, without additional charge, to help you through these stages of adjusting to your new dentures.

Women to take the floor in 'What She Said'
Women don't tend to get their due in the art world. Art created by women represents a fraction of the work in major museum collections and in important art shows, such as the Whitney Biennial in New York.
It's a discrepency that exists in Wisconsin, as well. Group photography exhibitions are often dominated by men here, say the organizers of "What She Said: Wisconsin Photography Now," an exhibition that promises to showcase the work of four women artists who explore issues of identity.
The four Wisconsin artists include Jesse Eisner-Kleyle, whose series "We Were Not Born Women" pairs images with stories collected from women across the country about the definitions of femininity and the objects associated with their transition to womanhood. Jessica Kaminski's "The Home Project" challenges notions of rootedness and belonging. Jenaille Northey's "Love Letters" project distorts imagery associated with romance novels. And Nicole Peaslee's "Fractures" series uses the natural world as metaphor.
"What She Said" is curated by Milwaukee photographers Jessica Z. Schafer and William Zuback. It opens Thursday at Effjay Projects, an increasingly important regional venue founded by former Milwaukee artist Frank Juarez (Get it – Eff-jay?), 604 Erie Ave., Sheboygan. A gallery talk and artists' reception will be held June 2 from 5 to 8 p.m.

Does Alcohol Prevent Weight Loss, or Cause Fat Gain?
Did you know that alcohol consumption can decrease testosterone in men by 23%? What about how alcohol directly affects your ability to lose fat?
Alcohol is deeply entrenched in our culture as a way to have fun, let loose, and be social. Companies that market alcohol from vodka, to whiskey, to beer know the right buttons to push. Our brains are seemingly wired to desire a cold refreshing alcoholic beverage after a tough day at work.
But, the truth is that alcohol, when not consumed in moderation (1-2 drinks a few times per week) has very negative effects on weight loss. This article will delve into the physiology of how alcohol affects your ability to successfully lose weight and keep it off for good.
What is a "Drink" of Alcohol?
Research considers an alcoholic drink to be about 15 grams of ethanol alcohol. Fifteen grams of alcohol is found in 5 ounces of wine, 1 1/2 ounces of an 80 proof/40% drink such as vodka or whiskey, and 12 ounces of beer. Because these are general guidelines, clearly some drinks may be stronger than others. For example, light beer is slightly weaker than regular beer. Most restaurants and bars serve 16 oz beers (making it one and a third drink) while pouring more than 1 1/2 ounces in a mixed drink.
Every gram of alcohol that you drink counts for 7.1 calories. However, because you burn up some of those as your body processes them (thermic effect), the total calorie per gram is closer to 5.7.
Let's say you order a beer at dinner. With 20 grams of alcohol x 5.7 calories + the total amount of carbs, you end up with a drink that contains 150 calories. The range of caloric intake for beers ranges from 64-250+. Wine and shots also average about the same amount of calories. Watch out for mixed drinks, because besides the alcoholic calories they inherently have, depending on what's mixed in, you could be drinking an excessive amount of calories in just one drink.
Alcohol & Weight Loss | After Your First Two Drinks
After your first drink, your body starts to get rid of the alcohol quickly using the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) pathway.1 In this pathway, ADH converts the alcohol into acetaldehyde, which gets further broken down to acetate. These by-products (acetaldehyde and acetate) are considered to be highly reactive and can increase oxidation throughout the body, but especially in the liver.
Because your body sees these by-products as dangerous, it wants to use them as fuel. This means your body will significantly blunt fat-burning close to 75% after just one and a half drinks.2 And it will stop using carbs for energy. Therefore, although very little alcohol will be stored as fat (less than 5%), the fat and carbs you are eating have an increased risk of being stored as fat.
Your liver can process these toxins through the increased use of certain vitamins, such as the water soluble vitamins B1, B3, B6, folate and C, while also possibly depleting some of the fat-soluble vitamins, A, E and K1. Over-time these decreases in vitamins can play a secondary role in loss of motivation, energy, and well-being.
After your first couple of drinks, your brain also starts to increase its usage of GABA. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and is a large reason why alcohol is known as a "depressant." Over time, the GABA receptors get used to the effects of alcohol, which is a reason why people may need more and more alcohol to feel the effects from alcohol consumption.3 GABA is also the neurotransmitter, principally responsible for allowing you to stay asleep. Therefore when your brain uses more of it before you go to sleep, you have less while you're actually sleeping, causing a disruption in restful sleep.
Alcohol also affects the higher processing areas of the brain, the cerebral cortex, while leaving the lower areas of the brain somewhat unaffected. This leaves you more emotional than you would normally be. If you've ever experienced "drunk logic" while doing or saying things you would never think to do sober, then you've experienced the inhibitory effects of having your cerebral cortex taken out of the equation.
While your body has started to use the alcohol as energy, your body releases anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) to help your body rid itself of the alcohol. This basically means that your urine volume increases significantly (about 100 ml per 10 grams of alcohol).4 If you've ever "broken the seal," you know that the more you continue to drink, the more frequently you use the restroom.
Since your kidneys are working over-time, your body releases an increase in certain minerals and electrolytes especially calcium, magnesium, copper, selenium and manganese. All of these play important roles not only in blood volume, but in bone health, blood pressure and the anti-oxidant pathways.
In addition to everything above, a small increase in cortisol typically occurs with moderate drinking while testosterone levels will drop about 6.8% in men (not so much in women).5 Aromatase will also increase. Aromatase is an enzyme that helps to convert testosterone to estrogen and is obviously not something that is welcomed by many guys.
Alcohol & Weight Loss | After Six to Eight Plus Drinks
If you're drinking a moderate amount of alcohol, those things listed above are the main effects, at least short-term. If you drink heavily and drink often, another system called the Microsomal Ethanol-Oxidizing System (MEOS) system kicks in at the point when the ADH pathway becomes overwhelmed.
This system is interesting because it causes your body to generally burn off more energy as useless heat and probably saves your life from too high of a blood alcohol level. It is primarily controlled by a special enzyme that plays an important role in utilizing certain medications and the metabolism of fatty acids. This increased rate of medication breakdown can decrease their effectiveness, while the incomplete breakdown of fatty acids can cause an increase in oxidation. This increase in oxidation becomes exacerbated as the body's main anti-oxidant (glutathione) is also impaired, decreasing your ability to fight the oxidation.
As your drinking levels continue to increase, testosterone levels drop from 6.8% with 4 drinks to 23% with 8 drinks.6 This drop, combined with a slowdown in protein synthesis, can cause havoc when trying to recover from a workout.
In addition to that, fluid loss will generally become more significant, causing dehydration that might affect you for days afterwards. Finally, with heavy drinking, the breakdown of alcohol can occur for up to 48 hours after your last drink. This means less glucose is reaching your brain and working muscles, making you both more tired and quicker to fatigue if you do exercise.
If You're Going to Drink Alcohol, Drink in Moderation and Not Too Often
You would think after listing all that happens in your body after consuming alcohol, the no-brainer suggestion would be to not drink. What is missing though are some of the benefits from consuming moderate amounts of alcohol.
Alcohol is shown to increase insulin sensitivity, which basically means that your body needs less insulin to do its job. In addition to that, research has shown that women who drink a moderate amount will have the same or slightly lower BMI, as those who don't drink.7 The same effect is not seen in men. Those who moderately drink are also at less risk of dying from heart disease and cancer while decreasing one's risk of Alzheimer's8 and even slightly improving your immune system.9
In other words, complete abstinence may not be needed while trying to lose fat as long as it's done in moderation and not very often (think one time per week). If you don't drink, obviously don't start, but if you want to have a couple of drinks on the weekend, there is nothing necessarily wrong with having one or two. In future articles, I will list some of the best and worst drinks to have when going out and 5 strategies you can implement to decrease the deleterious effects of having a night of heavy drinking.
Alcohol & Weight Loss | Wrapping It Up
In any fat loss plan, there are three main components that should be priority: Diet, Exercise, and Sleep.
As stated throughout the article, a moderate amount of alcohol can increase total calories, decrease your motivation for exercise, and negatively affect your sleep. Despite this, many people can enjoy a drink or two, without throwing those three components completely out of whack.
On the other hand, drinking heavily can significantly derail energy levels, has a larger influence on dehydration, negatively impacts hormonal levels, and can significantly disrupt your sleep. Therefore, limit your overall levels of alcohol and put yourself in the best position to reap some of the benefits of alcohol consumption, while not derailing your overall progress.

23 Comments on "Does Alcohol Prevent Weight Loss, or Cause Fat Gain?"
Good information. I think a bigger effect of the alcohol, at least for me, is that it breaks down my ability to resist eating more and less quality food than I should. I would not be surprised if the additional food consumption is at least equal to the calories in the alcohol consumed.
Yes, Sam, now thinking about it, you brought up a really good point, because I know if I have 2+ drinks my ability to resist eating is greatly diminished!
Today, I set a personal goal to abstain from Alcohol until I at least get down to 225 and break this current plateau I'm struggling with.
Hi John,
I'm glad I stumbled on your article originally shared to my Facebook wall.
I have lost 50 lbs so far, and recently have plateaued at 231 lbs, while I have been keeping up my routine of working out and taking long walks (the past 4 days I walked nearly 40 miles).
Recently I had increased my alcohol intake – figuring since I had already lost 50 lbs, its okay to "splurge" a little.
However, with that, I noticed that despite my workouts, I had stopped losing weight as I should have, in fact I gained back a few lbs.
I had started suspecting that my increase in alcohol was affecting it, but I had not nailed it down until I read your above article, which clarified my notions!
I believe the biggest mistake I had taken was having either a straight shot of scotch, or a vodka & (low sugar) orange juice "screwdriver" right after my long walks or work outs!
I still plan to lose another 30 lbs to get myself down to a much more healthy 200 lbs range, so I just wanted to thank you for the extra insight and guidance to confirm my suspicions of what those drinks were doing to inhibit my weight losses.
From now on, I will make sure there is plenty of recovery time before I have a drink.
~ Eric
@Eric – I'm Glad you enjoyed the article and that you've set up new habits to achieve it. Best of luck going forward.

In questionnaires about "How Long Will You Live?, I always had to deduct time from life expectancy because I didn't drink enough. Regardless, since BUILTlean, I've just plain gone dry. It's not worth the calories when I could use them to eat something better.
I figure in the long run, the whole foods and exercise, and the resulting weight loss since BUILTlean will more than compensate for any potential benefits I could have gained from drinking more than I was.
Thank you for the article, John. Not sure if there's an answer for this, but I am wondering whether having two drinks (3 oz total whiskey) in one night, once or twice a week but not every week, cause negative or positive results since I'm a woman. Your article lists the negative effects that happen after two drinks, but the recommendation for woman is typically one drink a night. I didn't find an answer to this in the references cited. I am mainly wondering if I should always stick to just one drink or would having two on occasion not sabotage my fat loss goals? I have lost 20 lbs (with the help of this site, thank you Marc!) but I'm trying to lose 10 more, while maintaining muscle and building strength. Do you have either of you have different recommendations on alcohol limits for women in terms of fat loss goals? Thanks again.
@Maria – The recommendation for women is 1 drink per night, but within the research women having 2 drinks didn't show any difference in terms of weight loss. With that said, three things:
1 – Although there wasn't any difference in total weight loss between the women consuming alcohol and those not consuming any, there was a difference in the waist-to-hip ratio indicating that the women who drank stored more fat in their stomachs.
2 – I advise my clients to drink as little as possible when trying to lose fat. Once you have achieved your goal weight and body fat, then you can add in more alcohol while maintaining and factoring in cutting calories elsewhere.
3 – If you are going to drink more, there would be other suggestions I would make, that you can find in this article: http://www.builtlean.com/2012/11/19/without-gaining-fat/
Although it's title is about not gaining for Thanksgiving, it's really an article about what to do if you're going to imbibe in too much alcoholic shenanigans.
Hope that helps and overall in the grand scheme of things, having 1 extra drink every once in a while shouldn't be the straw that breaks the camel's back. As long as you're taking care of the larger things (working out consistently, eating correctly, watching calories, etc), you should be fine.
I am continually impressed with the wealth of information that this website produces. Your staff and team are gold standard, Marc Perry. Accolades to you, John, for a well-researched and well-written article explaining in detail the specific physiological systems impacted by the consumption of alcohol and also including information on the benefits of consuming *moderate* amounts of alcohol.
This is valuable information and a public health service for consumers everywhere, in my opinion, because this economic downfall period has seen rising amounts of alcohol consumption, and the consequences of this are important from a health perspective as well as contributing to chronic disease and further obesity.
@Russella – Thank you for the comment and I'm glad you appreciated the article!
Hi John,
Very well written and detailed article, great job! I just have one confusion/doubt regarding lumping Wine into the same category. Red wine to be more specific.
Red wine has decent levels of a anti-oxidant compound called Resveratrol which has anti-aging, anti-cholestrol, hearth-healthy properties besides a few more. I got highest levels of recommendation from a prolific scientist recommending moderate usage of red wine. Please note, its red and NOT any other wine.
I would be very interested to know what you may have to say on that.
@Rahul – A lot of the research on alcoholic consumption and fat loss has been done with other alcohols, such as white wine for increased insulin sensitivity, beer and testosterone levels, etc. With that said Resveratrol is a potentially exciting part of red wine. Most of the current research in regards to resveratrol though are currently in super-mega doses and done on mice. For example, some of the anti-aging research was done on giving the animal an equivalent of 30 cases of red wine worth of resveratrol. In addition to that, grape juice has about the same amount of resveratrol as does red wine, so it's hard for me to write on the benefits specifically of red wine. With that said, of all the alcohols I do recommend, red wine is usually one at the top of the list. Hope that helps.
As always, fantastic content Marc.
About the testosterone reduction … we ladies already knew that 😉
@Pam – It's always good to see the research being applied "in the real world" 😉
Very informative. However, this article got me so bummed out about the effects of alcohol, I gotta go out and have a drink
Wow, very informing article. Will definitely keep in mind and pass along.
Everyone in NYC should read this article, it's amazing

I alway quit drinking in the month of january. I am of average weight age 66, but I
do not lose 1 lb. I continue to ride my mountain bike and workout 3 times a week..What's up????…neil

It is still possible to drink and be in phenomenal shape. The only kicker is that you have to work that much harder if you do decide to drink. Also, there is always the danger of blacking out the day after if you decide to lift heavy.
Interesting facts about GABA!
December 8, 2012 #
Hi John,
I know some of the benefits of wine.. Yeah, it does lose your weight..
It also lowers risk of heart diseases, reduces high blood pressure, improve brain functionality, reduces risk of cataracts, and even prevents sunburn…
Anyways, thanks for the detailed post
December 13, 2012 #
I do a fair amount of reading and up until now have not seen such a thorough article on the subject. Thanks for the great job you all do at BuiltLean.

Stay on top of everything and don't let it go. If you let it go, it just gets harder to do.
Get a little tiny bit more strength training in each day by doing leg lifts while you brush your teeth. Do 10 reps for each of the 12 sides of your teeth (inside top left, inside top middle, inside top right, outside top left, outside top middle, outside top right....same on bottom)! Then you have done 120 more leg lifts for the day--2 more minutes exercise AND THE ADDED BONUS: you really worked on cleaning your teeth properly!! 334
I keep my closet organized by grouping items together such as tops, dresses, slacks, etc. Then I group into colors - all white tops together, all black tops, etc. Then in each of those groups, all sleeveless tops first, then short sleeve tops , then long sleeve tops, etc.
You can make a fake banana split by taking 1/2 banana and topping it with 3 tablespoons frozen lite cool whip. Top this with SF strawberry topping, SF chocolate syrup and SF pineapple topping. You can also put a cherry on top. Change this combination to your liking.

Speed patrols should focus on side streets
According to the article "Local police agencies crack down on speeders" (Star, July 14), the police chief plans to "dedicate one patrol car to going after speeders, usually in the evening on the city's busiest streets."
The community would be much better served if they enforced the speed limit laws on the side streets where people actually live, and where there are children playing and dogs being walked.

RE: Whose flag are we flying?
This winter I was driving in a Snoqualmie neighborhood and I came across something so heinous, so awful I had to wonder –who would do such a thing? There was a flag flying outside a house and it wasn't the U.S. flag— it was a Pittsburgh Steelers flag. Doesn't this person remember the tragedy that was "Super Bowl XL"? Don't they understand they are in Seahawk's country? Then I remembered: it's childish, and petty to get offended over a flag. After all we live in the U.S. where we have the right to freedom of expression — and that extends even to Steelers fans.
Being Canadian, when we moved into the neighborhood I thought what better way to express this pride than to get a Canadian flag. It also provides a convenient way to find my house. But what I didn't realize was that this flag would cause such a stir in our community. I was honored and dismayed that my flag would become a topic of a Letter to the Editor "Whose flag are we flying?" The author was so offended by my Canadian flag she even went so far as to suggest that if I don't stop flying the flag I should move to Canada. Checking into flag code, it does not require an American flag nor forbid a foreign flag.
But I don't know why this person should be offended by a symbol of Canada as so many Canadians have made positive contributions to North American culture: Michael J Fox, Margaret Atwood, Frank Gehry, Peter Jennings, and to a lesser extent, Justin Beiber. I offer to have the disgruntled Canadian flag loather over for poutine and Kokanee so she can see Canadians are just like Americans, well, except for our religious love of hockey and Tim Horton's doughnut.
Might I suggest the next time she finds herself bored and feels the need to make up something to be offended about that she look beyond her neighbors front yard and turn on the news. Trust me, she will find bigger things to feel outraged about than someone's heritage pride.
T.J. Hoving
Flag code lays out specifics of what can fly
The Flag Code does not require you to fly the U.S. flag and it does not forbid you from displaying a foreign flag. For example, someone with Irish heritage may proudly fly an Irish flag and is not required to fly the U.S. flag.
Section 7g. reads, "When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace."
Section 7c. starts, "No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America…"
Section 7c. later on reads "No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof…"
Notwithstanding the confusion here, it is always recommended to fly foreign flags from separate poles, and that the flags should be flown at the same height (or the U.S. flag slightly higher) and be of same or similar size.
For private citizens, the Flag Code serves as a guide to be followed on a purely voluntary basis to insure proper respect for the flag. The Supreme Court has ruled that politically motivated violations of the Flag Code are protected by the First Amendment. The Flag Code has no provision for enforcement. No fines, no penalties. There is nothing law enforcement can do when the Flag Code is broken.

Thank you for supporting Your Snoqualmie Valley
On July 23, Your Snoqualmie Valley, a group of valley residents concerned with the proper use and annexation of the old Weyerhaeuser mill site into Snoqualmie, held a wonderful fundraising event.
The event raised money to pay for our lawyer David Bricklin, who is ensuring that the annexation be done legally and use of the land is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan. Besides raising money in entry fees and during our raffle and silent auction, we enjoyed the music of JackAcid, Vicious Edna and the Rose Family.
What we discovered was that this event was really so much more than a fundraiser. We got to meet neighbors, make new friends and spread the word. Many people put in so much time to make this event possible I cannot thank them all here, but it was wonderful to see a bunch of folks armed with nothing more than determination pull off an event like this.
To all, thank you so much for your time and effort, donated items, auction purchases and concern for our quality of life here in the valley. The proceeds will ensure that issues of noise, flooding and pollution caused by the annexation are properly addressed by the city.

One Response to "Letters"
Alan Fletcher on
August 1st, 2011 7:27 pm
Last week I noticed the placement of several median postings on the Ridge, encouraging residents to express their opposition to the DirtFish driving facility. From all I've read, the primary concern by the opposition, seems to be the potential for excessive noise resulting from the use of street mufflers.
Snoqualmie residents living on the Ridge, especially those living anywhere near the Parkway, would prefer that any efforts toward noise abatement be directed toward the control or elimination of the lumber trucks traveling the Parkway 5 days a week, commencing at 3:30am. City ordinances appear to effectively manage contractors working in the neighborhood, but little effort is given to quiet the noise deafening sound of the lumber trucks that awaken all the residents so unfortunate to live anywhere near the Parkway. I support DirtFish and oppose the 3:30 am lumber trucks.
Got something to say?

Let's get back to the meaning of the Second Amendment by comparing two excerpts from the Constitution.
Article 1, Section 10, Paragraph 3: No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops or ships of war in time of peace...
Amendment II: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
In old military catalogs, the word "regulation" is used when referring to military equipment, everything from uniforms to weapons. Presently our military is physically incapable of ruling the country by force because the means of production and distribution is privately controlled and the right to bear arms is the balance of power. Any infringement on this right is an act of subversion.
While we are at it, we should take a good look at civil rights laws, labor laws and environmental laws that are steps toward government control of our defense industries.

I was thinking about Buckminster Fuller, dedicating his life to help humanity. I was really seriously thinking about this. I wanted to do it. I wanted to seriously consider it and then do it and not take it back. Then soon after this, I went to my friend's (liberal not Fundy) Presbyterian church and the message was about feeding the hungry. After church we had a luncheon and watched a DVD about how to end Childhood hunger in America. It was called A Place at the Table, and it explained how hunger and obesity are related. Because of the US system of Farm subsidies, corn, wheat and soy are really cheap and so food companies use these commodities to make lots of junk food. The subsidies were created for family farmers recovering from the depression, but now huge agribusinesses get 70% of it. Vegetables and fruit are smaller operations and don't get many subsidies and so fruits and vegetables have gone way up and commodities have gone way down.… Read the rest

The New Crime of Eating While Homeless
Jim Hightower, writing at OtherWords:
… Read the rest
Whenever one of our cities gets a star turn as host of some super-sparkly event, such as a national political gathering or the Super Bowl, its first move is to tidy up — by having the police sweep homeless people into jail, out of town, or under some rug.
But Houston's tidy-uppers aren't waiting for a world-class event to rationalize going after homeless down-and-outers. They've preemptively outlawed the "crime" of dumpster diving in the Texan city.
In March, James Kelly, a 44-year-old Navy veteran, was passing through Houston on his way to connect with family in California. Homeless, destitute, and hungry, he chose to check out the dining delicacies in a trash bin near City Hall. Spotted by police, Kelly was promptly charged with "disturbing the contents of a garbage can in the [central] business district." Seriously.
"I was just basically looking for something to eat," he told the Houston Chronicle.
Don't Feed the Hungry
When it comes to feeding the world, most of us support the idea. We are taught from a young age that if someone is hungry it's our moral duty to feed them, whether they live down the street or in another country. For decades, agriculture companies have used the noble goal of "feeding the world" to increase yields by any means possible, from genetic modification to the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This logic has justified ecological destruction from prairies to rainforests. It has wreaked havoc on indigenous and small-farming communities. And with 870 million chronically undernourished people on earth right now, it has failed to get food to the people who need it most. Instead of a fed planet, we have monoculture farms, poisons on food, and toxic runoff in our land and water. Into our air, the global agriculture industry emits about 14 percent of total greenhouse gases, according to the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). If we include agricultural deforestation, that number jumps to 27.5 percent. "[I]t's impossible," writes CGIAR, "to address climate issues without including agriculture—and vice versa." Fortunately, real solutions aren't difficult to imagine. Raj Patel interviewed one Wisconsin farmer, Jim Goodman, who seems to have a lot of this figured out.Read more here.
Niger's Silent Crisis
From the BBC:
… Read the rest
Britain's aid agencies are launching an appeal to help the people of Niger where half the country's population is going hungry following droughts which have led to crop failures and food shortages.
A listless little boy with stick thin arms and legs is weighed at an emergency treatment clinic for under fives near Maradi in Southern Niger.
Abiou, who is just 13 months old, weighs less than four-and-a-half kilos. His half-closed eyes stare out from sunken sockets set in a head that now looks too big for him.
Doctor Mourou Arouna Djimba says he is now being overwhelmed by youngsters like Abiou. "There's a massive need here," he told me.
"We've so little room that sometimes we need to put two or even three children in one bed. We've got 30 in this intensive ward, and this morning another five more severely malnourished children arrived."Save the Children says 400,000 children are at risk of dying from starvation
In the face of the crisis, the charities Save the Children (STC) and Oxfam are each launching multi-million pound appeals for drought-ravaged Niger.

HP moves Rubinstein to 'innovate' all its personal devices
updated 06:10 pm EDT, Mon July 11, 2011
HP puts Rubinstein in PSG, out of webOS lead
HP in the wake of the TouchPad's launch undertook major changes that pointed to a shift in strategy for webOS. Former Apple executive Jon Rubinstein will step out of the role of leading the webOS business division and will instead have a "product innovation role" within the entire Personal Systems Group. The PSG's current Americas head, Stephen DeWitt, is taking his place.
Rubinstein's exact tasks aren't known but will go across multiple product lines and may not necessarily be confined to webOS hardware. He has a history of making "exceptional consumer products," HP said. DeWitt is credited with rescuing the personal group's profit and market share in his three years at the company.
The reason for the swap wasn't given out. Rubinstein is credited by many with saving Palm from an even faster decline by fostering the design of more iconic phones like the Pre and otherwise backing away from its conservative focuses on PalmOS and Windows Mobile. Palm never completely bounced back, however, and the company was in enough trouble that it accepted a buyout from HP last spring. Executive VP Todd Bradley, who Rubinstein will continue to report to, was at one point Palm's CEO.
Rubinstein's move, despite Palm's trouble, may be a sign of confidence in his experience. HP saw a steep drop in home PC sales and has regularly been chastized for a lack of breakthrough computer design. His experience may also be needed as HP cross-pollinates webOS throughout its lineup, including it in dual-booting PCs next year.
The move would return Rubinstein to having control over computer products, an authority he hasn't had since switching his focus to the iPod at Apple several years ago. Rubinstein is credited with a large part of the makeover of Apple's floundering Mac line from 1997 onwards, cutting out huge swaths of product overlap and focusing on then-advanced technology like USB that would come with the iMac. His role may be to reshape HP's computer line and give it a more Apple-like philosophy.

AMD's Fusion Developer Summit is receiving place this week in Bellevue, WA as well as AMD is receiving a event to launch their high-end array of APUs (Accelerated Processing Units). If we stop – an APU is a multiple of a CPU as well as GPU in to a singular die. AMD's Fusion family of APU processors is a multiple of multi-core CPU (x86) record with discrete-level graphics.
Back in Jan during CES, AMD launched their E-Series as well as C-Series APUs – codenamed "Brazos" – targeting tiny form cause PCs, netbooks as well as tablets. Since afterwards – over 5 million units of a E-Series as well as C-Series APUs have been sole given Q4 2010.
Today, AMD is announcing a A-Series APU – codenamed "Llano" – targeting some-more mainstream PCs trimming from laptops to desktop PCs to all-in-one PCs!
The A-Series APU is a many higher-end APU than a E-Series as well as C-Series APUs. The A-Series APU is a multiple of a quad-core processor (4 x86 CPU cores) as well as dissimilar DirectX-11-capable graphics (the E-Series as well as C-Series APUs did not embody quad-core processors). Laptops with A-Series APUs will suffer glorious HD graphics capacity as well as over 10.5 hours of battery life.
AMD has finished work with a A-Series APU to safeguard it has a required "horse power" to hoop a many performance-demanding applications by parallel processing. Laptops with an A-Series APU have 400 gigaflops of opening equine energy whilst desktops have 500 gigaflops. Specifically, this will assistance with video as well as picture estimate for example.
All A-Series APUs implement what AMD calls their VISION Engine which combines hardware as well as program to yield a most appropriate knowledge probable for digital calm such as videos as well as games. For video playback, AMD is introducing a brand new underline with a A-Series APUs called Steady Video. This underline ensures which videos fool around solid as well as well-spoken as well as additionally enables 3D gaming as well as 3D Blu-ray playback. The A-Series APU supports a accumulation of tie standards together with HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.1, as well as USB 3.0.
With Internet Explorer 9, we get a benefits of hardware-accelerated HTML5 as well as Direct2D opening whilst browsing a web upon a Personal Computer with an A-Series APU given is it has dissimilar turn graphics capabilities built right in!
With AMD Fusion APUs – together with a A-Series – we can span it with a dissimilar AMD Radeon dissimilar graphics label for a dual-graphics experience. This equates to which with a Fusion APU as well as a dissimilar Radeon graphics label in a Personal Computer we can knowledge a energy of twin graphics with up to an 75% graphics opening progress according to AMD.
The A-Series APU is now scheduled to crop up in some-more than 150 laptops as well as desktop PCs via a second entertain of 2011.
It's really sparkling to go on to see a hardware creation the partners have been doing!

Probiotic facial mask
Another use for probiotics is for skin health.
In an earlier column I offered a skin facial that included yogurt, which is rich in probiotics. If you missed it, here it is again.
Quick oats, for protein
Honey, a natural moisturizer
Plain yogurt, a natural acidifier.
Blend quick oats in a blender until it is a powder. In a separate container mix honey, oat powder and yogurt into a soft, moist paste.
Spread over face and keep it on for up to a half-hour, but don't let it dry on face.
If you have any young children, DON'T LET THEM SEE YOU — you'll scare them to death!
Wash off with plain cool water
Repeat as often as desired.
Probiotics are microorganisms intentionally introduced into the body for their beneficial qualities.
At first it seems strange to put bacterial microorganisms into the body when so much has been said and done to destroy bacteria in the body.
But, yes, it turns out that these certain "bugs" are actually good for us.
The Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide tells us there are more than 100 trillion microorganisms representing more than 500 different species that inhabit a normal healthy bowel.
What they actually do is to help maintain the natural balance of other organisms — collectively called microflora — as well as to maintain chemical balance in the intestines.
Controlled trials have shown that certain lactobacilli may help to control cases of infectious diarrhea as well as to help maintain remission of ulcerative colitis and even Crohn's disease.
They also seem to aid digestion and even the production of certain nutrients, as well as aiding in the absorption of nutrients..
When the science of probiotics first appeared in the literature, some folks thought that these good guys ate the bad guys. Not true. The good guys are mostly organisms that secrete a chemical called lactic acid. This chemical simply discourages the growth and multiplication of other — mostly harmful — bacteria.
You may recall my writing that a new strain of bacteria called E. coli 0157H7 can actually kill you if it manages to take over in the intestines.
It does that by secreting some pretty harmful toxins that can destroy the kidneys, among other things. As it happens, the first thought of medicine was to give the patient antibiotics. This was definitely the wrong approach since 0157H7 is resistant to antibiotics, and it actually made the matter worse by killing off any good bacteria that might offer competition.
Way back when this harmful bacteria first appeared, and antibiotics simply did more harm than good, it became obvious that another approach was needed. The new concept soon became "make it difficult for the harmful bacteria to reproduce."
The answer was … voilà! Feed good bacteria!
In fact, it makes good sense to reestablish the good bacteria during and after any oral antibiotic therapy.
It seems as though probiotics may be useful with women's urogenital health. Women's systems can be thrown out of balance by any number of things such as spermicides, antibiotics and even birth control pills.
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, yogurt is an acceptable treatment for vaginosis by restoring normal acidity and vaginal flora without side effects.
Even during pregnancy, this may be preferable to any other therapy. Yeast infection and urinary tract infections are also helped.
And let's not forget kefir, an ancient fermented milk drink that's also another lactobacillus probiotic.
Where yogurt needs to be reintroduced in the diet every several days to achieve best results, the benefits of kefir seem to last longer due to the fact that kefir "colonies" called "grains" can actually remain attached to the intestinal walls and reproduce more beneficial bacteria as the person consumes more milk lactose.
Flavored kefir can be bought in most groceries or health food stores. And by the way, it is delicious!

But, then, I hit "scan" — and only a very small, totally blank square had actually been scanned. I tried it again. And again. And again, until I was ready to resort to violence. I felt stupid. And then, my boyfriend emailed me with a great idea: Take a photo of the document with my phone. I did, and that sufficed.
I was relieved to have sorted it out, but still annoyed with myself that I hadn't come up with a suitable solution on my own. That incident felt like a microcosm of the larger issue I struggle with in my first cohabiting relationship: I hate relying on my boyfriend. When I do, it makes me feel helpless, as if all the independence I racked up living on my own in New York City for 16 years fled out the window the minute I moved in with him.
I know that's not literally true. I do plenty of things for myself, and if I expected him to wait on me hand and foot, we'd both get sick of the arrangement — fast. But, emotionally, it feels like a slippery slope. I rely on him to scan documents, drive me around (we live in suburban New Jersey and I don't have a license), and DVR my favorite TV shows — and it makes me feel guilty for not knowing how to do those things myself.
And, yet. There's still a level of discomfort here, for me. I think it's because there's a difference between asking for help and needing someone to do something for you because you can't. The latter is where I start to feel nervous and trapped, because if I rely on him for those things and he's unavailable — or, worse still, if we break up — I'm screwed. For me, the issue isn't so much about an equal division of labor as it is about a fear of becoming dependent.
I'm afraid that no matter how much I may strive to give off a strong, independent, feminist appearance...deep down, I need someone to take care of me. That's partially true (and possibly okay, even if it doesn't always feel that way). Because there are times when I do need help, whether it's a fresh perspective or a short-term loan or physical aid or technical knowledge that I simply don't have. However, "needy" is not a word I want to use to describe myself — and if I ever have children, that's not how I want them to see me.
Here's the thing: I know there's balance to be found between "needy" and "unable to accept help." However, striking that balance isn't always intuitive for me; it feels like the moment I ask for help, I'm giving up any semblance of being my own person. My boyfriend constantly reminds me that "we're in this together," which is an unsettling remark for me to hear. But, why? Because I've never had someone close to me say that, let alone mean it?
I'm working on being more comfortable asking for help. When we moved recently, I thought I could pack all my stuff alone, but as moving day approached, I realized it just wasn't going to get done. Even though my boyfriend was far more anal about the exact right way to pack a box to maximize space, and even though we had our share of arguments about what to keep and what to toss, I was ultimately grateful for his help. I still hated that I needed it, but I was grateful — which is what I try to keep in mind, as a sort of mantra for moments like this.
Becoming overly dependent on another person still feels like a worst-case scenario to me — like I will wake up one day and not be able to solve any problem, be it big or small, on my own. But, I certainly don't want to go to an extreme and become a total ice-queen who doesn't let anyone (especially the person I love most) help me because I'm afraid of the long-term consequences. So, although I may not have found my independence comfort-zone quite yet, it's a work in progress — and I'm working on it.

Nice flow, very nice, I could learn quite alot from you, ha ha ha. Nice tones, great anatomy, very intense expression. Great work on the hammer. She looks a bit thick, and the eyes may be a tiny bit too close, or just right, I'm not sure, but magnificent work, dude.
Ged: I hope you like purple and pink then!
Liebe: Thanks, I think you're right on the eyes, this drawing was a little mismashed. I started drawing a face in Illustrator and built the drawing around i, so some things are pretty wonky.
Here's another wonky one.

Air Force Promotions: Air Force promotions to ranks of staff sergeant, master sergeant and chief master sergeant will not be delayed because of the war on terrorism. Personnel officials made adjustments to the promotion system after determining some airmen will not be able to attend required enlisted professional military education courses because of current operations. Airmen must attend airman leadership, noncommissioned officer and senior noncommissioned officer courses as they progress up the ranks; most courses last three to six weeks. But the waiver, which will be granted on a case-by-case basis, means those airmen could attend the PMEs after being promoted.

The Respiratory Quotient is a parameter reflecting the utilization of the nutrients by a subject. It is associated with an high rate of subsequent weight gain and with the atherosclerosis. Subjects tending to burn less fat have an increased Respiratory Quotient. Aim of this study was to investigate on the relationship between the Respiratory Quotient and the cardiovascular risk factors.
In this cross-sectional study we enrolled 223 individuals of both sexes aged 45–75 ys that were weight stable, receiving a balanced diet, and not affected by debilitating disease or cardiovascular disease. The Respiratory Quotient was measured by Indirect Calorimetry. The measurement of the Blood Pressure was obtained by a mercury sphygmomanometer.
We enrolled 133 female and 90 male. Systolic blood pressure only was positively correlated to the Respiratory Quotient in univariate and multivariate regression analysis (p=0,017). The prevalence of hypertension was significatively different between the quartiles of the Respiratory Quotient, with the highest prevalence in the IV quartile (p=0,024).
High value of the Respiratory Quotient, an index of nutrients utilization, is associated to an high prevalence of Hypertension. It is possible that in the subjects with high Respiratory Quotient and high body mass index, the activation of the renin angiotensin system, in concert to the reduction of the utilization of the endogenous fat stores, could increase the risk of hypertension.

So, you've got a Powerball ticket worth a cool $1 million burning a hole in your pocket.
What do you do next?
Contact Wisconsin Lottery officials right away, drive to Madison and cash in the winning ticket?
Find a safe place to hide it until you're ready to claim your newly found wealth?
Hold on to the ticket and seek the advice of an attorney or financial expert?
Those are among the possibilities facing the person who struck it rich playing Powerball at the Express Convenience Center on Crooks Avenue in Kaukauna on Sept. 4.
The ticket matched the five winning numbers, but not the Powerball, making it worth $1 million. The odds of winning that payout are 1 in 5,153,632.
But more than two weeks after the drawing, the winner has yet to come forward.
No one has claimed the prize at the lottery in Madison, and no one has contacted the Kaukauna convenience store to say they hold the winning ticket.
That doesn't mean the ticket has been lost. It could mean that the winner is being careful about claiming the winnings, said Wisconsin Lottery spokesman Andrew Bohage.
"It may well be a case of being prudent and getting their ducks in a row," he said.
The winner has 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim the money at the lottery office in Madison..
Bohage is hopeful that the winning ticket will be turned in, saying it's far too early to be issuing a plea to the ticket-holder.
There's only been two unclaimed $1 million payouts in the history of the Wisconsin Lottery. But there's plenty of tickets worth lesser amounts that have fallen by the wayside over the years.
Since 1997, more than $50 million in lottery winnings have gone unclaimed, according to Bohage. In the most recent fiscal year, which ended June 30, unclaimed winnings amounted to $2,843,570.
Winnings from unclaimed are set to the lottery's property tax relief fund.
But Bohage hopes the proceeds from the $1 million ticket sold in Kaukauna go to the rightful owner.

"Saturday Night Live" has booked JUSTIN BIEBER to host and be the musical guest on the February 9th episode. He has appeared on "SNL" before, but he's never hosted.
Justin was the musical guest back in April of 2010, and he made a cameo last year, in the 100th Digital Short. (You can revisit that on Hulu.com.)
"Voice" coach and Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine will host "SNL" the week before, on January 26th. Kendrick Lamar will be the musical guest. NEXT weekend, Jennifer Lawrence from "Hunger Games" will host, and The Lumineers will perform. There isn't a new episode this weekend.
Speaking of Justin, JAMES FRANCO posted a video of himself mocking Justin. It's set to Justin's song "Boyfriend", but it doesn't copy the actual video. James does his own thing, while wearing a Justin-esque wig and baseball cap. James posted it on his WhoSay account, and then deleted it. Of course nothing vanishes from the Internet, so you can see it here or you can find it on YouTube, here. It's pretty amusing.
Meanwhile, the paparazzi asked marijuana aficionado TOMMY CHONG what he thought of the photos that allegedly show Justin smoking pot.
Tommy said, "I knew [Justin] was smoking before he knew it. Because of his music. Because of his dancing. The guy is a phenom. He's good! It's not just his looks. It's his talent. And you don't get talent like that by drinking alcohol. The herb, man! The herb!" (Here's video. Actually, it seems like Tommy may be baked in the video, or maybe he's just PERMANENTLY baked.)

A small group that is trying to place a special tax measure on the June 2014 ballot that, if successful, would increase the local sales tax by a penny has released the draft language of their ballot measure.
The move by the Salinas Public Safety Funding Committee ups the stakes in what has become a political game of chicken between the group and a City Council majority that has signaled it would prefer a general tax measure to fund the city's emaciated public safety departments.
A general tax measure requires a simple 50 percent plus 1 margin to win as versus a special tax measure which requires a 66.7 percent or greater super-majority to win.
Chairman Ramiro Alcala did not respond immediately to emails with questions about the draft ballot language Sunday night or through mid-morning Monday.
Here is the group's press release and the proposed draft language:
"The draft text of a proposed public safety funding measure has been released by the group that intends to qualify it for the June 2014 ballot, the Salinas Committee for Public Safety 2014.
'Its time for the public to see what weve been developing for almost a year, said committee chair Ramiro Alcala. 'Its a special, 1 percent sales tax that would provide $20 million a year for Salinas police, fire and code enforcement needs. It would fund four priorities: 100 new police officers, a new police headquarters, long-needed improvements to Fire Department facilities and equipment, and 20 code enforcement officers.'
As a special tax, Alcala said, the measure will require two-thirds voter approval, and the revenue could only be used for police, fire and code enforcement.
'Until we file it with the city to begin the process of putting it on the ballot, it can be changed. We expect people to discuss it and comment on it,' Alcala said."
Draft text of proposed initiative:
Salinas Committee for Public Safety 2014
The people of the City of Salinas hereby impose a one-percent transaction and use special tax, with the revenue to be used for specified public safety purposes:
Intent The people of the City of Salinas intend to provide a secure revenue source that may only be used for Police, Fire and Code Enforcement services to improve public safety: by expanding the Police Department to allow for more specialized policing measures such as School Resources Officers, Community Policing, anti-gang efforts, traffic enforcement or any other recognized and appropriate Police Department measures; improving Fire Department capabilities by upgrading and maintaining facilities and purchasing new equipment; and, expanding Code Enforcement to protect the public and enhance the quality of life in the City.
New Police Officers Over the first 10 years after this measure is approved, the City shall conduct a recruitment program and hire 100 new, sworn police officers, to be added to the number of officers assigned on the date this Measure is approved, and fund all necessary training, equipment, vehicles, Community Service Officers and administrative personnel and costs to support these 100 new officers.
Police Headquarters Over the first 10 years after this measure is approved, the City shall provide, pay for and maintain a police headquarters adequate to serve the Citys expanded Police Department.
Fire Department Facilities and Equipment - In the first year that revenue from this tax is received, the City shall provide a one-time allocation to the Fire Department of $2.4 million for upgrading and maintaining facilities and $2.5 million for new fire equipment.
Code Enforcement - To the extent revenue is available in any year, after providing for incremental funding for 100 new police officers, a police headquarters and the one-time allocation to the Fire Department, the City shall fund Code Enforcement and employ 20 Code Enforcement officers.
Public Safety Programs - To the extent revenue is available in any year, either while providing for 100 new police officers, funding a police headquarters, providing the one-time allocation to the Fire Department and designating funding for Code Enforcement or thereafter, the City may use available funding for any public safety program within the Police Department, Fire Department or Code Enforcement. The City may not qualify other City programs for funding under this Measure by reclassifying them as public safety programs subsequent to the passage of this Measure.
Public Safety Revenue Fund - The City shall retain revenue from this one-percent transaction and use special tax in a separate Public Safety Revenue Fund.
Fiscal Emergency - In the event the City Council declares a fiscal emergency and diverts funds from the Public Safety Revenue Fund for any other purpose, the City shall restore those funds to the Public Safety Revenue Fund when the fiscal emergency ends and before the City restores any general fund program funds.
Maintenance of Effort - In the first ten years after this Measure is approved by voters, the City shall maintain all existing annual public safety funding at the total dollar amount, as it is in the year this Measure is approved.
Citizens Public Safety Audit Committee - The City Council shall appoint by majority vote an independent, nine-member Citizens Public Safety Audit Committee representing different community interests and areas, giving this committee unrestricted access to all fiscal records associated with the Public Safety Revenue Fund. This Committee shall be responsible to review revenue and expenditures for the Public Safety Revenue Fund, and to prepare an annual report to be presented to the City Council and published by the City to its citizens, wherein the committee shall report whether in the committees opinion the revenue and expenditures fulfill the purpose and intent of this Measure and whether the committee has any recommendations to the City Council.
Modification Only By Vote of the People - No provision of this Measure shall be changed, amended, or repealed except by a two-thirds vote of the People.
Effective Date - The provisions of this Measure shall take effect immediately upon certification of its passage by the appropriate Election Official.
Severability - This Measure shall be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Measure. If any section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion of this Measure is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Measure. The voters of the City of Salinas hereby declare that this Measure, and each section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion thereof would have been adopted or passed even if one or more sections, sub-sections, sentences, clauses, phrases, parts, or portions are declared invalid or unconstitutional. If any provision of this Measure is held invalid as applied to any person or circumstance, such invalidity shall not affect any application of this Measure that can be given effect without the invalid application.
Conflicting Ballot Measures - In the event that this Measure and another measure or measures relating to the same or similar subject matter shall appear on the same election ballot, the provisions of the other measures shall be deemed in conflict with this measure. In the event that this Measure shall receive a greater number of affirmative votes, the provisions of this Measure shall prevail in their entirety, and the provisions of the other measure or measures shall be null and void.

Rutgers goaltender Mitchell Walier (left) punches the ball away from Monmouth's Bryant Avalos (right).

As the men's soccer scrimmage between Monmouth University and Rutgers got under way Tuesday afternoon on The Great Lawn, word came down that the Hawks senior midfielder Joseph Schmid had been named by the watch list for the Hermann Trophy, college soccer's highest individual honor.
Schmid thus became the 10th Monmouth player to land on the watch list over the past seven seasons, as the Hawks, who won seven straight Northeast Conference regular season titles (2005-11) and rose as high as No. 4 in the national rankings, look to continue the tradition coach Rob McCourt began a decade ago.

Product Code: PP/14320/SET
Product overview
The mains powered interceptor alarm system with three probe sensors is installed within the separator to automatically detect the levels of oil, silt and liquid within. If excessive levels are reached the alarm activates a claxon or beacon to provide an audible or visual notification of excessive liquid levels.
For more remote applications an alert can be transmitted by text message. Alarm warnings allow you time to take corrective action ensuring the safe and economic operation of separators preventing oil passing through the separator and polluting watercourses which may result in expensive fines and clean up costs.
The alarm system and sensors guarantee an increased level of safety and requires simple installation for bespoke monitoring of oil and petrol separators.
We can tailor your separator Alarm to your requirements by displaying your name and contact details on the liquid crystal display and fitting your custom label (please ask for details).
