Latah County Employees Gain LGBT Protections By Frankie Barnhill • Jun 30, 2015 Kellie Parker / Flickr Creative Commons Earlier this week, Latah County officials voted to update their employee handbook to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Lines received his fifth yellow card of the season during the 3-0 defeat at MK Dons on Saturday and the midfielder will serve a one-match ban on Boxing Day.
Carl Dickinson started in central midfield in Milton Keynes but is likely to line-up in his usual slot at left-back against the Magpies. Dan Jones had come back into the side at left-back at the weekend, but then limped off after 30 minutes with a foot injury.
Jones, only recently back in the team following groin and foot problems, is a doubt while manager Micky Adams is also waiting on the fitness of Adam Yates (back) and Rob Taylor (thigh) after they missed the Dons defeat. Captain Doug Loft is close to a comeback after making good progress in his recovery from a calf injury.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: bakedjake
I don't care to engage in or encourage a religious war over open source licenses, but FWIW:
I read the congressman's letter in a newsforge.com story.
They are not trying to outlaw open source. They have a real concern about releasing software developed at taxpayer expense under the GPL. There are other type licenses for open source code such as the BSD style license.
Their thinking and worry is this:
Say for instance the government at taxpayer expense develops some security innovation that could make the internet more secure. They fear that if they were to release it under the GPL that commercial software vendors would not include it in their products for fear of having to GPL their commercial code -- and thus lose the ability to continue selling their commercial software at a profitable price if they added the new security innovation to their existing code. Thus the public would be less likely to benefit from the security innovation created at public expense since it wouldn't be used by commercial software vendors, who have the market share.
Their desire is to see software developed by the government at taxpayer expense actually used by people rather than not due to fear of commercial software vendors of incorporating GPL software into their products.
They did not say they would fail to release it. Nor are they trying to outlaw the GPL. They are simply trying to determine the best licensing policy for software the government develops.
To them, it might make more sense to release such software under a BSD style license. That way the software could be used by commercial software vendors and the public would get the benefit of the software so incorporated into vendor products.
In GPL land there is much angst over the prospect of Microsoft benefiting from any open source code. This is why many who hate Microsoft prefer the GPL over the BSD style licenses.
For those who don't know, with software you obtain under the GPL, you are free to use or modify it. But if you modify it or use it as part of another product **and you want to then sell your "value added" version of the code** you must make your code changes available at a nominal cost to whomever wants it. This eliminates your ability to take GPL code, rebrand it or add to it, and then sell it at very high price like what most commercial software sells at, since anybody can get the source code for next to nothing, compile it and use it without paying your price for it.
With software you aquire under a BSD style license, you can do whatever you want with it. Including rebranding it or incorporating it into another "value added" product and selling the resulting rebranded or improved product at whatever price you want without having to pay royalties as along as you attibute the source to the original author.
The above may not be perfectly accurate, but it's close enough.
Considering the restrictions on redistribution of modified code, many consider GPL code not to really be "free" software, since while you can get it for free, you are not free to do whatever you want with it if what you want to do with it includes improving it and then selling the "value added" product at a nice profit. BSD licensed code doesn't care what you do with it.
Again, I don't care to engage in or encourage a flame fest over GPL .vs BSD license issues. However, I did want to counter the FUD of some articles whose headlines imply a Washington state congressman was trying to outlaw open source.
Not true.
What upset many people was that this congressman from M$'s home state took the letter, added a line that sounded like it came straight from the M$ PR office and then began recirculating the letter without informing people of the changes.
Many of the congressmen that signed the altered letter are now claiming they didn't realize that it had been changed and are asking for it to be withdrawn.
If you read the line that was added.. doesn't it sound like a M$ quote? Doesn't it sound like he's trying to undermine the entire open source movement?
"the free software philosophy is "problematic and threaten(s) to undermine innovation and security""

"Microsoft is Smith's top source of donations. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Microsoft employees and its political action committee have given $22,900 to Smith's re-election campaign."
story [seattlepi.nwsource.com]
22.9!?...wow...thats cheap.
"the free software philosophy is "problematic and threaten(s) to
undermine innovation and security""
but instead says:
"Licenses such as the General Public License (GPL) are
problematic and threaten to undermine innovation and security."
The first quote was taken from AP.. Looks like they summarized "Licenses such as the General Public License (GPL)" to be the same as "the free software philosophy"
Thanks for pointing out the full text of the 2nd letter.. it was good to read it instead of the summaries most news sources give..
The newsforge link also provides the full text of the orginal letter, and if you compare the two it's easy to see why the second letter upset the open source community.
Both letters are urging the goverment to adopt lincenses that would encourage companies to adopt security technologies developed through federal research. It's just that the 2nd letter names names and specifically attacks things that are dear to the opens source community.
They really aren't all that different... but it does seem that Mr Smith has a chip on his shoulder..
Yes, the congressman is from Wash. state and has taken money from Microsoft. Sure MS has his ear. But that's not the substance of this thread -- but is rather tangerial at best to the points I've made. Namely that claims are being made that open source itself is under attack or even in danger of being outlawed.
Without restating what I've written above such is not the case. It's the use of the specific GPL license and those like it being used for taxpayer funded software that's being lobbied against.
Not to single you out, but do you or do you not agree that it's the GPL and similar licenses rather than open source that's being lobbied against? If you disagree, and think instead it's open source itself, not just the GPL that's being lobbied against, please state why and provide supporting evidence. Thank you. Misquotes from some hack on a web site don't count as sources, either -- original sources please.
What's of most interest to me about this whole topic is how folks are seeing what they want to see -- which in some cases is quite different from the facts. You state what you see is some politician getting money and likely being a tool of MS.
Maybe he is. It bears no relevance to what the words of the letter the article was written about really were and really mean.
Sadly, I see you decided not to address those points. Rather to state something tangerial and leave it to the readers emotions to concluded...must be somthing crooked here going on...accusations and inferences must be true...open source under attack...dang Microsoft at it again...
Heck I'm not defending Microsft. Read my post on this thread:
to see what I think of them and their behavior.
No matter how much I may despise someone or some thing, I do not condone lying, FUD or mistatement of fact as tools to further anyone's desires or aims -- and that's what I believe the article referenced in this thread's first post is doing, IMO.
Rather than talk about what "everyone sees in the ink blot", how about discussing the ACTUAL wording in the ACTUAL letter?
That WOULD clear up the issue of what was said and meant pretty quickly...however, that may not be what many desire....rather to score "FUD points" against their enemy by preying upon people's emotions and the reality that people don't have the time to check the facts behind everything they read today. They know some people will believe anything no matter what; and many more will believe and repeat it even if they find out the truth -- because it's what they WANT to believe.
Welcome to human nature. Nice topic for a site devoted to doing well on the internet, wouldn't you agree? Macheleilli would (however you spell his name). Consumer behavior in action.
thanks for the link to the actual text of the letters involved.
You're right, the "news" coverage is not exactly brilliant in this case. The quote I replied to above appearst to be from an article which wrongly paraphrases the original, and does indeed almost reverse its meaning. Before I had seen the letters itself, I had to take that at face value.
The letters as distributed basically state that a BSD type license is preferrablt to the GPL (without mentioning the former explicitly) for code that was developed with governement funding. That's a thought that is certainly worth some consideration. It's also not surprising that Microsoft would support such an idea. After all, they love to use BSD code in Windows, even if they hate to admit it... ;)
The reason I am so adamant here and took the time to post as I did above is because I HATE when people twist the truth into a lie to score what they regard as propaganda or PR points -- and that's what I think is going on in some articles.
I am NOT trying to attack anyone personally, but I have attacked and take issue with statements provided as fact or reasons to hold a point of view I think is invalid or based on lies.
I don't see the posters on this thread as being those who are perpetrators of this particular FUD campaign -- rather as typical people victimized by it as we all are at times because while we do have time to read, we don't have time to check the sources for everything we read.
I Love the truth and hate a lie. Always have. Especially when I see it used in BS propaganda like this that relies on the fact that most people are too busy to take the time to sort the truth of the matter out. And even if they do, they will likely only notice it in the retractions and corrections column on page "B17" rather than on the front page of public discourse, which is where this issue is for many right now in the open source world...or at least where *some* want it to be.
The fact is that regardless of what the Congressman's motives are, the fact that he accepts M$ contributions places him in an awkward situation - one that is open to exactly this type of misinterpretation. Not a wise move on his part and one I would encourage him to rethink.
"Licenses such as the General Public License (GPL) are
problematic and threaten to undermine innovation and security."
We would love to have the open source community over for dinner; they have great manners, are well spoken and are generally prompt, it's just that they wear stinky clothes.
Truth twisting:
"A spokeswoman for the subcommittee says Smith "twisted" the letter into a "debate over the open-source GPL issues.""
I honestly don't take too much of anything MS does very seriously, I use their browser (thats about my extent of involvement with those folks). Sorry if you feel I have misled anyone.
BTW, open source is pretty much "FUD proof" at this point, so it would be much wiser to engage in peripherals like GPL.
If you were a "FUDder". ;)
I don't think you have mislead anyone. I simply thought your earlier reply was tangerial rather than central to the main issue as I saw it, and wanted to zero in on the main point at issue; i.e. IMO the article's twisting of references that were actually to the GPL by name to instead being references to open source in general (and open source .vs MS in particular).
My reference to you in an earlier reply was why I posted in a subsequent post that my posting was aimed at the issues under discussion, rather than of a personal nature. I wanted to make that clear. I didn't want to offend you or anyone else, but as I stated above, I did feel prompted to post. I hope I have not offended you or anyone else.
The articles folks have linked to on this thread are interesting. Each in isolation could easily lead different readers into different points of view. They each report more of a slant than a set of objective facts, IMO.
Even the one I linked to, which included the actual letter, had the headline "Washington State Congressman attempts to outlaw GPL". Quite pathetic yellow journalism in my book. Especially when you consider the letter in the very same article's text quite clearly refutes the headline as being bogus and false.
What's sad is that I'll bet a whole lot of people who did read the article and the actual letter it was based on went away after reading still believing that an attempt was afoot to outlaw the GPL, rather than realizing it was only referring to not using the GPL as the license of choice for taxpayer funded software released for public consumption.
Anyway, a very interesting collection of human reactions to the story by one and all. Makes one think.
Best wishes to one and all,
Think about it this way, government revenue is a 'public trust' that should be spent in the best interest of the public. If tax money is spent on software development it should remain free of charge and the code should not get sucked into any proprietary closed source project where it will eventually wither and die.
GPLed software will give the general public the greatest return on the initial investment.
If a state throws money at BSD licensed, that code will be reusable by third parties, of course, but what will end up happening is that companies will end up getting cash for the R&D and which will be released under the BSD type of license and then the actual application will be closed source. This is not a good deal for tax payers, but rather the owners of the company receiving the subsidized R&D.
Slightly OT, but I feel very much the same about patents arising from government-funded research. Such patents ought to be freely usable by all. We already paid for them.
I realize that there are nigling nationalistic arguments to be made about limiting the licenses to citizens of the country that developed them. I think such nationalism is short-sighted.

The Evils of Peace
Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down, 'Twas sad as sad could be; And we did speak only to break The silence of the sea.
IT would be interesting to know upon what ideal John Paul Jones, during his formative years, had fixed his gaze. That it was a lofty one is certain, for at such moments as this he rose to it with a true eighteenth century grandeur. He surrendered his cherished America to the French with a generous bow, and whatever bitterness he felt was withheld from his letter of renunciation to Robert Morris, who replied:
I have read your letter of the 22nd of last month. The sentiments contained in it will always reflect the highest honor upon your character. They have made so strong an impression on my mind that I immediately transmitted an extract of your letter to Congress."
With these thanks in his pocket but little else there, Jones left the little colonial town and once more found himself in Philadelphia among the unemployed. It is tragic to have to record that his gesture of abnegation bestowed no benefit on anyone. The French could not get the America ready in time, and sailed to the West Indies without her. She did not fire a shot against the enemy during the war. She did not reach France until peace had been declared, and the only consolation Jones could have drawn from the episode was to learn that the French, in

This is about all you are going to get from a fake buyout rumor that was never followed through on. Take one look at BRK's balance sheet. The idiots in charge sold 40 billion in exposure of puts on the stock market. BRK could go under at any time. Who runs their risk control? These people running this company are morons.If the market drops, BRK will death spiral. As for shorting, Maybe wait for the double top to finish. But if you own it, get out.
You are as lost as a fart in a hurricane!!! Tough move ya made SHORTY!!!
You should sell and prepare to short. I am never wrong about how this works. I will give you the same advice I did last time. The kings of the market, like myself declare BRK dead meat, which it is, thanks to an incredibly stupid thing Buffet did. We declare BRK is a short. The fools who think they run the market let their egos take over and think they are squeezing the kings as they add more longs. It is an ego thing, not a smart thing, or a money thing. They try to run the stock up because they think the kings will go away and not short. But the kings are not short yet. They wait for the ego trap to play out, then they short.I explained this many times. You should listen. You want to sell any moves up and get ready to short.The stupid thing Buffet did? He sold 40B in puts on the stock market. He made the same mistake his companies made with mortgages before they dumped. Buffet has sold stock market dump insurance.

they need to expand and buy more smaller chains and increase total number of stores. they also need to invest and put more $$ invest, remodel and put labor hours back into stores instead of starving them and running current stores into the ground. they need to cut admin and backstage in 1/2. too much main office and corporate wasted $$ like the US government. put the $$ into store level.
They should just get out of the grocery business all together they do not know how to run their stores, but they do know how to run them in the ground.. Example Dominick's Vons.
Performance gaps in Chicago and Texas have been obvious for years. After such a long period one has to wonder whether the brands in question can be resuscitated by Safeway. It seems clear there is a problem with market relevance and responsiveness. Texas in particular is going to get harder, not easier. Safeway can spend its energy more profitably elsewhere.
Under Byrd's command they did very well.
buy some more small chains around the nation. not depending on mostly the western us.bigger stores--dry goods to compete target etc. We have a good name!! Grow!
"Buy small chains around around the U.S.--not depend on the West?"
That's exactly what they did when they purchased Genuardi's (Philly/NJ); Dominick's (Chicagoland); and Randalls/Tom Thumb (Texas). All of them have faltered or are faltering and are the biggest drag. No way.

Images: PMCS Challenge [Image 16 of 16]
Photo by Lt. Col. Carol McClelland
CBRNE Response Teams from the 22nd Chemical Battalion (Technical Escort) competed in a PMCS, or preventive maintenance checks and services, inspection on the Humvee June 5 and at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. Soldiers, like Sgt. Antron Campbell (left) and Staff Sgt. Matthew Reid, from Team 4, 68th Chemical Company, had to use a weekly checklist to spot five maintenance issues. The discrepancies taken right out of the training manual under the "not fully mission capable if … " column, were: loose alternate and battery cables, and missing wheel lugs, side view mirror and door handle. This team was the first to go and found three faults. But they filled the form out correctly so that gave them some extra points. "I think it was beneficial because some of us don't know how to do the PMCS properly," said Campbell, 22, from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Role of the glutathione redox cycle in acquired and de novo multidrug resistance.
Joint Center for Radiation Therapy, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.
Drug resistance represents a major obstacle to successful cancer chemotherapy. However, the specific biochemical mechanisms responsible for clinical drug resistance are unknown. In these studies resistance to the antitumor agent adriamycin was found to involve two mechanisms, one that decreased drug accumulation by the P170 mechanism and another that altered the glutathione redox cycle, an important pathway in the detoxification of reactive oxygen. This dual mechanism of drug resistance was demonstrated in cell lines that had acquired the multidrug-resistant phenotype and in human colorectal cancer cells with de novo resistance. These studies support a model of acquired and de novo multidrug resistance that includes alterations in both drug accumulation and the glutathione redox cycle.

Nevada Real Estate Market Update
After losing over 134,000 jobs during the Great Recession, the Las Vegas metropolitan area has recovered all of those jobs and employment is now at an all-time high of 934,600. Year-over-year, the market added 24,600 new jobs. This is up from the annual pace of 21,300 jobs seen at the end of last year, but below the average annual rate of 32,700 seen through the whole of 2015. However, with an annual growth rate of 2.7% I see no reason to complain.

Identifying Regions on Mars for Past Life Signs
Mars has been a frozen desert for billions of years. Any evidence of life near the surface will likely be fossilized and probably damaged, thus making it very difficult to recognize. If life ever evolved on Mars, there is a real possibility that the last surface ecosystems occupied land habitats, not aquatic ones. Those "last outposts" could contain the best-preserved evidence of past life on the planet.
Planets at Alpha Centauri?
Our nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri, a mere 4.3 light-years away, is not alone.

A recent announcement by the Breakthrough Starshot project to study the feasibility of sending actual hardware to this triple-star system has increased our interest in these stellar neighbors.

Mississippi defensive end Greg Hardy announced Thursday that he will return for his senior season.
The move bolsters what already looks like a promising season for the Rebels, who finished ranked 14th and beat Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl.
Hardy averaged more than a sack per game over the last two seasons, but struggled with an injury and a suspension during that time.
The 6'4", 265lb. Millington, Tenn., native had 8.5 sacks this season despite playing in just eight games.
Hardy says he wants to help Ole Miss achieve more success next year.
Hardy likely would have gone high in April's NFL draft. Thursday was the deadline for third year sophomores and juniors to declare for the draft

How to Improve Your Calligraphy Writing
Sometimes we can't write using a computer. When you want to use some embellishment and artistic lettering, calligraphy will make your writing stand out.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Get a calligraphy book if you want to learn an established style or form. For simply embellishing your usual lettering, this may not be needed, but the results will not be authentic calligraphy.
4Practice making individual letters, first marking the general shape of a letter, then using the wide pen nib or other alternate writing instrument to give it its final shape with curves, and variations in line width. You will want to pay close attention to how the lines flow if you are duplicating an existing, recognised style.
5Continue practicing individual letters in upper and lowercase until you have mastered the shape of each one. You may want to pay more attention to more commonly used letters as you begin, but eventually, you should master all of the letters of the alphabet.
6Begin to practice forming words, then sentences with your newly learned technique. Be aware of the spacing of letters within and between words. In some Olde English forms of calligraphy, some letters may be difficult to distinguish, so a reader will need to see the text well enough to make out words to have enough clue to understand what you have written.
8Compare your lettering with other people's lettering, and you may be find some styles of letters you want to copy.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- It isn't always going to be perfect. Keep practicing, and try to notice where you need more work on developing your technique.
- Use a good quality stock (paper) for finished work, and invest in calligraphy pens if you are going to make a permanent hobby of it.
- A fun way to practice calligraphy is to write down your favorite song lyrics in calligraphy
Things You'll Need
- A book
- Lined paper
- A pen or pencil

ABC7 WEATHER: Partly sunny with highs in the mid 50s. http://wj.la/72e8x6 {}
'GOOD MORNING WASHINGTON': Among the reports - Supreme Court to hear Obama's recess-appointments case; much more, beginning at 4:30 a.m. M-F.
VOICE FROM THE GRAVE: Or something like that, per the Virginian-Pilot, "During his final days as attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli released a pair of nonbinding opinions that can be read as legal arguments against Gov. Terry McAuliffe's campaign pledges to fight for gay rights and undo abortion restrictions. In one, Cuccinelli, who lost to McAuliffe in the 2013 governor's race, says a governor can't order state officials to permit legally married gay couples to file joint Virginia tax returns because the state bans same-sex marriage and formal recognition of it.
"The other asserts that a governor lacks authority to "issue a policy directive to suspend a regulation that was properly adopted pursuant to a statutory mandate." It appears to target intended protections for gay state employees and efforts to invalidate strict licensing rules for abortion clinics. Both opinions - one was dated Jan. 10, Cuccinelli's last day in office - were provided to Del. Bob Marshall, a Prince William County Republican and social conservative opposed to gay rights and abortion." http://bit.ly/1cUMVy6
O'MALLEYCARE: The big picture, per the Baltimore Sun, "Gov. Martin O'Malley took his defense of Maryland's struggling health exchange onto national television Sunday after CNN host Candy Crowley described its rollout as "disastrous by most accounts." O'Malley's defense came as Rep. John Delaney of the Western Maryland 6th District renewed his call for the state to abandon its exchange for the federal system, and O'Malley's remarks prompted criticism from some skeptical lawmakers.
"The governor said the state did not drop the ball on the project, despite knowing about problems well before the problematic launch. The creation and launch of the site were riddled with problems, including feuding contractors, shoddy technology and troubled management. "This complex IT challenge had ups and downs every step of the way. There were lots of cautionary lights, lots of red lights, but there were also green lights," O'Malley said. "This was a very complicated endeavor." http://bsun.md/19ohX34
MEANWHILE: Better than nothing, per the Frederick News-Post editorial board, "Maryland lawmakers are expected to approve emergency health insurance legislation as early as this week that will retroactively sign up residents left uninsured due to computer glitches with the state's new insurance exchange program. Even though it has the potential to waste up to $10 million in taxpayer money, we favor quick approval of this legislation, because uninsured Marylanders shouldn't be penalized for the incompetence of their elected leaders.
"The problem is that as many as 5,000 residents who tried to get health insurance through the state exchange encountered problems and were left uninsured as of Dec. 31. To fix it, the administration of Gov. Martin O'Malley proposed to temporarily shift these uninsured residents into the Maryland Health Insurance Program (MHIP), a state-administered health insurance program established in 2002 to cover high-risk residents, many with pre-existing conditions, who couldn't get health insurance elsewhere." http://bit.ly/1hOqM9k
ARM IN ARM: Of an odd pairing, per the Richmond Times-Dispatch, "Concerns over surveillance and collecting of wireless telephone data by the National Security Agency have made strange bedfellows in the state legislature. The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia said it would back a proposal by Del. Robert G. Marshall, R-Prince William, that would force telephone companies to disclose to customers if they provide phone records or metadata to the NSA or other federal agencies.
"Marshall also wants to make it mandatory for the federal government to obtain warrants before tracking devices and obtaining location data, which the ACLU also supports. "We are marching, walking, creeping, slithering towards a police surveillance state, and that's not compatible with the fundamental premise of our culture and government," Marshall said in an interview at his state Capitol office. "The Founders didn't have cellphones, but they had principles. And those principles should govern the policies," he said." http://bit.ly/1iFRUVD
GILLESPIE v. WARNER: In the wings, per the Washington Post, "Republican strategist Ed Gillespie's plans to challenge Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) will likely transform what was widely expected to be a cakewalk for the incumbent into one of the most closely watched and interesting contests of the year. Gillespie, the former lobbyist, Republican National Committee head and Bush White House aide, has told some Virginia Republicans that he will announce this month his plans to challenge Warner, a former governor who is seeking his second Senate term.
"Gillespie's announcement will instantly change the race into a matchup of two national figures with strong fundraising skills. In a bellwether state that both parties are eager to control, it will also give Virginia's divided Republican Party a glimmer of hope after being swept in November's races for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general." http://wapo.st/1aVIOhY
DIRTY WATER: Getting cleaner?, per the Charleston Gazette, "Four days after a coal-processing chemical leaked into the Elk River, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's administration and West Virginia American Water Company were once again unable to give a firm timeline for when water service would be restored to 300,000 residents in the Kanawha Valley. A nine-county area of West Virginia is still under a "state of emergency," with tap water not to be used for anything but flushing toilets and fighting fires, but test results "are trending in the right direction," Tomblin said at a news conference Sunday night.
"I believe that we are at a point where we can say that we see light at the end of the tunnel," Tomblin said. Jeff McIntyre, president of West Virginia American, said that he no longer believes they are "several days" from starting to lift the "do not use" order, but that the ban would not be lifted Sunday." http://bit.ly/1agbsgQ
MEANWHILE: A problematic culture, per the New York Times, "Last week's major chemical spill into West Virginia's Elk River, which cut off water to more than 300,000 people, came in a state with a long and troubled history of regulating the coal and chemical companies that form the heart of its economy. "We can't just point a single finger at this company," said Angela Rosser, the executive director of West Virginia Rivers Coalition. "We need to look at our entire system and give some serious thought to making some serious reform and valuing our natural resources over industry interests."
"She said lawmakers have yet to explain why the storage facility was allowed to sit on the river and so close to a water treatment plant that is the largest in the state. Ms. Rosser and others noted that the site of the spill has not been subject to a state or federal inspection since 1991. West Virginia law does not require inspections for chemical storage facilities only for production facilities." http://nyti.ms/1aUZAOl
HILLARY: And a list, per The Hill, "Aides on Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign kept a detailed list of party colleagues who staffers believed had betrayed her during the long and bitter primary battle with President Obama, a new book reveals. The list included rankings, with those who were considered the most egregious traitors by Clinton loyalists receiving the worst possible score of 7 on a point scale.
"Then-Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who would ultimately succeed Clinton as Secretary of State in the Obama administration, was among those receiving the blackest of black marks, according to the book HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton by The Hill's Amie Parnes and Politico's Jonathan Allen. So too was Kerry's Senate colleague from Massachusetts, Edward Kennedy, who died in 2009. Also on the political hit-list were Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) as well as Reps. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Rob Andrews (D-N.J.) and Baron Hill (D-Ind)." http://bit.ly/1kxqd5R
POLITICO PLAY: "Last year's congressional session, derided by many as the least productive ever, is about to get a run for its money. Despite ending the year with a glimmer of bipartisanship after passing a budget agreement and defense bill, lawmakers and aides are predicting this year will be filled mostly with show votes and partisan bickering unlikely to abate until the midterm elections.
"If the first legislative week of 2014 is a guide, those skeptics could very well be proven right. The Senate fell into a familiar state of paralysis, unable to agree on reviving emergency unemployment benefits and instead shifting to insular debates over the chamber's leadership and procedure." http://politi.co/1a1SWvb
ANOTHER APOLOGY: This one's public, per City Paper, "Mayor Vince Gray tried to put 2010 behind him at his campaign kickoff (Saturday), apologizing for any harm caused by his last mayoral campaign, which remains under federal investigation, but saying that only his opponents and ratings-obsessed reporters will continue to dwell on it.
"I want to apologize for the pain that my campaignmy campaigncaused, and I want to ask your forgiveness for what happened," Gray told the crowd, earning him a standing ovation and chants of "four more years" at Ward 8's THEARC community center. As with his apology earlier this week on WUSA9, Gray apologized for missing the campaign corruption said he could not, as he put it today, "apologize for the misdeeds of others." Those others would include Howard Brooks, Thomas Gore, and Vernon Hawkins, all of whom have pleaded guilty to crimes connected to the campaign or the illicit shadow campaign." http://bit.ly/1hOox5U
COMPARE AND CONTRAST: Of Metrorail, per DCist, "From the University of North Carolina's School of Government comes this infographic that compares Metro against four other transit systems in major U.S. cities. There's even a comparison of complaints, with D.C.'s three being unreliable service, weekend track work and wait times, and faulty escalators. Take that, BART's dirty bathrooms!" http://bit.ly/1aewTMq
SPORTS, BRIEFLY: Caps lose 2-1 against Buffalo.
TRENDING ON ABC7 FACEBOOK: "Sam Berns, 17, has died. The teenager's battle with progeria, a rare genetic condition that accelerates the aging process, became the subject of an HBO documentary, 'Life According to Sam.' The Progeria Research Foundation (http://www.progeriaresearch.org/) announced his death." http://wj.la/1aUvASR
NEWSTALK: Among today's topics (10 a.m., NewsChannel 8) -- A mistrial is declared in a high-profile local case when a juror suddenly announces she cannot stand in judgement of the accused. We'll talk with UDC law professor Andrew Ferguson, author of "Why Jury Duty Matters."

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulAugust 03, 2011Reviewer: Doreen in NevadaI have been using L-Lysine for some time to prevent fever blisters (cold sores) and it has always been effective. The last one pound bottle I bought did not seem to have the usual amount of the amino acid in the powder. I increased the amount I took after the first outbreak of fever blisters. Even after doing that I suffered with two more outbreaks of cold sores.
The disappointing thing about this incident is that I contacted NOW by email and they did not even reply. I will be purchasing some other brand of L-Lysine in the future.This review is specific to L-Lysine Powder

Jacob Gould Schurman, The Philosopher as Office-holder
PLATO THOUGHT THAT things would go badly with the world until philosophers became kings or kings philosophers. The record, however, has not been promising. Plato retreated speedily from his own attempt to help the tyrant of Syracuse mix philosophy and politics. The emperor of Rome quickly snuffed the--perhaps half- hearted--attempt of Plotinus to establish Platonopolis. St. Augustine's city of God is still some distance from Hippo. Boethius' diplomatic success ended with his execution. After the Middle Ages philosophers expanded their worldly pretensions but mostly they had little to show for them. Leibniz meddled in European politics, but he was left at home when his master became king of England. Hobbes frightened both the roundlieads and the cavaliers in the English revolution. Locke eventually found it prudent to live in Holland. Hume held minor offices but he found them scarcely profitable and not very edifying. Hegel trifled in constitution-making without much success. In our own time, the record is even less promising: Alfred Rosenberg may not have been a philosopher at all, but he was hanged for being a bad one. Gentile seems, in incredible innocence, to have become Mussolini's minister of education-an office he resigned two years later. Heidegger recoiled from his political friends--but not soon enough.
Philosophers, of course, have been successful in influencing the course of events. The American constitution might almost have been written by John Locke. Marx and Engels share the praise and blame for much that goes on in the world though they are frequently damned for what they themselves would have praised and praised for what must have been distant from their minds. Here and there the philosopher as king has almost emerged. It is only convention that prevents Thomas Jefferson from being wholly accepted as a philosopher. Nicholas of Cusa, while recognized as a philosopher, was an efficient and powerful church diplomat. Mostly, however, these philosophers who have come close to power have struck sorry figures. Against the background of such a record, modest success is worth studying.

Product Details
Two Weight Displays? That's right! Jennings designed this precision scale with two, bright, backlit weight displays...one on the front, and one on the back. So, whether ya load the scale from the front or the back, you won't have a problem seeing your weights.
Does This Thing Count? You bet it does! All ya need to do is weigh a sample amount of pieces, so the TB600 can know how much each piece weighs, then start counting. You'll be finished in no time.
Programmable Backlight The TB-600 has two fancy backlit displays to help ya see your weight readings, even in dim lighting. You can also program the displays to stay on while the scale is on, to only come on when the scale is in use, or to never come on at all.
Removable Protective Windscreen When you're weighing with high precision scales like this one, even the tiniest breeze can interfere with weight readings. This Jennings scale comes with a removable plastic windscreen to keep out those pesky drafts. Oh, and don't worry, this scale makes it easy to put your items on, or take them off, the platform. You can lift off the lid...or the whole windscreen.
Liquid Level Indicator & Adjustable Feet To get the most accurate weight readings from this precision scale, Jennings designed the TB600 with a liquid level indicator and adjustable feet for adjusting the balance.
Easy Calibration This precision scale comes factory calibrated and ready to use. Just in case ya need to calibrate it, the TB600 comes with easy to follow calibration instructions. You'll just need to pick up a 500 gram calibration weight to get the job done.
Removable Stainless Steel Platform The TB600 has a stainless steel weighing platform that lifts right off to make cleanup a breeze. Stainless steel is great because it doesn't scratch easily and keeps its shine without rusting or tarnishing.
Tare Feature The tare button on the front of the TB600 precision scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the items you're adding. This sure is useful when ya want to use a container to weigh your things, or if ya want to get separate weights of multiple items.
It Remembers The Last Unit Ya Used If your application needs weights in the same unit of measurement, (like ounces for instance), it can be a real pain if your scale always turns on ready to weigh in grams. It's a good thing the JScale TB 600 turns on displaying the unit of measurement you were using when ya turned it off.
Energy Saving Programmable Auto-Off If you've ever had your scale turn off on ya in the middle of important measurements, you'll realize what a blessing this features is. You can program the TB600 to turn off automatically after a period of inactivity, or to stay on until you turn it off yourself.
20 YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY! If ya have a problem with this scale, just send it to Jennings' warranty center in Phoenix, Arizona. They'll fix or replace your scale and send it on its way back to ya within a week of receiving it. You should expect your replacement to arrive in about two to three weeks from the day you send the original off. Keep in mind that sometimes Jennings runs out of stock, which can cause a delay in the warranty replacement process.

Questions and Answersask a question
A: Hey there Marshall,
You should be able to turn on this scale by pressing the red power button. If it does not turn on, if using the adapter you may want to ensure that it is firmly in the unit. If it still does not turn on you may want to try batteries to see if that will power on the scale. If you are still experiencing problems and ordered the scale through Old Will Knott Scales give us a call at 877-761-0322 and we will get you taken care of as soon as possible.
