Roy Blunt: Flat Earther

Blunt: "The Worst of Washington"
I was not surprised to read that Blunt is raising more money than Carnahan. I mean he does have the big oil companies to fill his coffers. According to the The Center for Responsive Politics, Blunt has been one of the top recipients of oil and gas money in the last two cycles. We should particularly pay attention to his record as debate in Congress continues about cap and trade legislation. These oil companies haven't supported Blunt just because they think he's a nice guy -- they believe his votes and actions will line up with their interests, including any measures meant to reign in greenhouse gases.Click here to read the full letter.

A Protégé of Tom DeLay with Connections to Lobbyists
Do Missourians really want a "protégé" of Tom DeLay who "became know for connections with lobbyists" to represent them in the U.S. Senate?
From his earliest days in Washington, Blunt angled to join GOP leadership. He volunteered for tasks, almost becoming "a nuisance," as former Rep. Tom DeLay, of Texas, a House GOP power broker, once joked. Early in Blunt's second term, DeLay rewarded his eagerness, putting him on the whip team in charge of rounding up votes.
Blunt was known as DeLay's protégé, like-minded but smoother, and became the Texan's chief deputy. When DeLay advanced to House majority leader in 2003, Blunt inherited his whip position, No. 3 in the GOP hierarchy.
With his star affixed to DeLay's, Blunt, like DeLay, became known for connections with lobbyists. DeLay's departure from leadership under a cloud in 2005 left Blunt on two rungs of the GOP leadership ladder at once during the administration of President George W. Bush, acting as majority leader even as he retained his whip position.

KC Star: Blunt "embraces role of the insider"
"Blunt was elected in 1996 and quickly became steeped in the culture of Capitol Hill."Click here to read the entire article.
"He developed strong ties to the lobbying industry."
"He has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars from major corporations and trade groups..."
"Blunt has accepted contributions from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff..."
"...his close association with DeLay and a cloud of GOP scandals would hinder Blunt's rise in the House leadership..."

The New Yorker Profiles Koch Brothers: Oil Conglomerates and Friends of Roy Blunt
And a hefty chunk of that has gone to Big Oil Blunt: in his 14 years in office, Koch Industries' political action committee has given Blunt $39,500 in campaign contributions.
The Kochs - operators of oil refineries in Alaska, Texas, and Minnesota and controllers of some four thousand miles of pipeline - are clearly dead-set on shaping an energy future that puts their interests over the public interest. Tax records indicate that since 1998, Koch Industries and a number of its affiliates have given more than $328 million to political and policy organizations, political campaigns, and lobbyists. Many of these recipients advocate for tax breaks for oil companies, making these investments almost a write-off for Koch Industries.
Unfortunately, that's only the tip of the iceberg. The article elaborates upon the Kochs' covert efforts to prevent environmental regulation and perpetuate our dependence on fossil fuels. They continue to spend millions to support highly influential academic institutions, think tanks and other oil industry-friendly front groups whose policies – shockingly – align with the Kochs' interests.
Americans for Prosperity, a Koch-founded advocacy group who has worked tirelessly kill comprehensive clean energy legislation and keep America addicted to oil, has announced that it will spend an additional forty-five million dollars before the midterm elections in November.
No telling how much of that will benefit Roy Blunt.

...With a Little Help From His Friends
When it comes to raising money, Roy Blunt is finding that oil companies and other corporate donors enjoy writing checks to groups of Republican Senate hopefuls.Yes indeed. Big Oil Blunt gets by with a little help (more than $1 million...and counting) from his friends.
Blunt's backing from oil companies and energy interests has been a campaign trail topic in the aftermath of the BP oil disaster in the Gulf.
The reports show that oil, coal and other energy interests were among several dozen PACS that donated liberally to an entity called the Senators Classic Committee, which divided much of $664,000 in proceeds among Blunt and a dozen other Republican hopefuls and GOP senators running for re-election.
Contributors to the Republican committee included ExxonMobil, Chevron, Marathon Oil, Occidental Petroleum and Halliburton. Blunt enjoyed proceeds of slightly more than $30,000 from the joint effort...

Big Oil Blunt, Meet Rubberstamp Roy
This week Big Oil Blunt launched a new TV ad accusing Robin Carnahan of rubber-stamping the "liberal agenda." Let's set aside the fact that comprehensive energy and climate legislation, which the Blunt ad falsely describes as a tax, would in fact create thousands of new jobs in Missouri while also curbing our dangerous dependence on oil and reducing harmful carbon pollution.
What's really amusing -- and has the added benefit of being true -- is that during his 14 years in Congress, Big Oil Blunt has consistently rubber-stamped Big Oil's agenda at the expense of transitioning to a cleaner, safer energy future.
In fact, the oil industry has given him perfect marks for rubber-stamping their legislative priorities in Congress (and, for his troubles, Big Oil and other energy interests have given him more than $1 million in campaign contributions).
The American Petroleum Institute, the main lobbying arm for the big oil companies, gave Big Oil Blunt a perfect 100% on its Voter Guide for the 110th Congress. Read about some of the big votes that Big Oil was saying "thank you" for here and more about Blunt's record here.
Hmmm..."Rubberstamp Roy." That just might stick.

Ethics-Challenged Big Oil Blunt Plans TWO Fundraisers With Ethics-Challenged Karl Rove
The article describes the fundraisers as fancy affairs:
Rove is slated to host two events for the seven-term congressman: a breakfast in St. Charles and a luncheon in Springfield, the Blunt campaign confirmed to POLITICO.
Donors who buck up the maximum $2,400 contribution get a private roundtable with President Bush's top political adviser, while supporters donating $1,000 will receive a photo opportunity with Rove. The event alone is $500 a head.

And coming in at #1...
Guess who tops the list with $133,100 in contributions from PACs run by oil and gas companies and from individuals employed by those companies?
None other than Big Oil Blunt.

A Match Made in Heaven: Big Oil Blunt and the Big Oil Bailout
But Blunt has never been a fan of holding polluter's responsible for their actions and clearly puts special interests ahead of public interests. That's why he is a cosponsor of multiple pieces of companion legislation in the House (HJ Res. 77, HR 391).
However, it's never enough for him to just sponsor bills designed to protect special interests. In typical Big Oil Blunt fashion, he felt the need to tweet bad information for all the world to see.
@RoyBlunt - Washington Democrats this week supported a backdoor cap & tax scheme. Cap & tax will kill 32,000 jobs in Missouri in 1st year.
Sadly, instead of helping Missouri transition to a local sources of clean, secure energy, Big Oil Blunt is determined to continuing siding with the Big Oil companies that fund his campaigns.

Unbelievable: Big Oil Blunt Takes Halliburton Money While His Committee Investigates Halliburton/BP/ Transocean Oil Spill
As Congress investigated its role in the doomed Deep Horizon oil rig, Halliburton donated $17,000 to candidates running for federal office, giving money to several lawmakers on committees that have launched inquiries into the massive spill.Where does Big Oil Blunt factor into the equation?
Halliburton's political contributions in May are the highest they've been since September 2009, when the PAC also gave $17,000 in donations. In fact, the last time the company gave more than $17,000 in one month was when it donated $25,000 during the heat of the presidential campaign in September 2008.
In the House Reps. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), who serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee, Mike Coffman (R-Colo.), who serves on the Natural Resources Committee, Geoff Davis (R-Ky.) and Dave Camp (R-Mich.) all received $1,000 from the oil giant.In fact, Blunt's committee held a hearing May 27th on the massive spill's causes and the response.
Conflict of interest much? Well, now that you mention it, yes: Big Oil Blunt has also taken $11,500 from the oil giant BP's federal PAC, which makes him one of the top ten Congressional recipients of dirty BP PAC money.

NEW POLL: Big Oil Blunt is the Least Popular Major GOP Senate Candidate
Maybe that's because he's so out of touch with Missourians on the issues that matter. As we've reported in this space, Big Oil Blunt is wearing his unpopular support for Big Oil over clean energy jobs for Missouri as a badge of honor: he's proud of his 100% rating on the Big Oil scorecard, and he's repeating phony attacks on clean energy that fact-checkers have called "FALSE" over and over again.
Worst of all, Big Oil Blunt doesn't even seem to know where his constituents stand on passing common-sense clean energy and climate legislation.
Two major polls show that voters support a comprehensive clean energy jobs bill like the American Clean Energy and Security Act, a piece of legislation (opposed by Blunt) that would help create more than 35,000 jobs statewide.
•A January 20th, 2010 poll of battleground states including Missouri showed that the public overwhelming supports a clean energy bill that caps carbon pollution: respondents supported by a 58 – 37 percent margin an energy bill that contains cap-and-trade. Independents supported cap-and-trade by a +11 point margin.
•A November, 2009 Pew poll also revealed Missouri's strong support for a comprehensive clean energy bill, with 67 percent of respondents in support of a bill that would require factories and power companies to reduce their emissions of the carbon pollution that causes global warming by 20% by the year 2020, and require power companies to generate 15% of their power from clean energy sources like wind and solar by the year 2025.
Missouri voters also overwhelmingly approved a Renewable Electricity Standard in 2008, indicating their strong support for policies that invest in clean energy, create new jobs and reduce pollution.
At least Big Oil Blunt is better at raising money than he is at representing his constituents -- he ranks among the top ten members of Congress in campaign contributions from the federal PAC connected to BP, the oil giant responsible for the disastrous spill that's currently threatening thousands of jobs and ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico.

Big Oil Blunt's BP Money & Big Oil Record
But, as the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf Coast continues, it's worth pointing out that over the last decade Big Oil Blunt has been among the top ten congressional recipients of campaign cash from BP's PAC, having received $11,500 from the oil company's political action committee since the 2001-02 election cycle.
It's also not surprising that Big Oil Blunt has consistently supported efforts to expand offshore drilling, voting to do so in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Additionally, he voted against efforts to increase fuel efficiency standards in automobiles in 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007. The 2007 vote, in which automobile mileage standards were raised to 35 miles per gallon, will reduce U.S. oil consumption by 1.2 million barrels of oil per day by 2020.

Diego Forlan has confirmed he will be joining Italian giants Inter Milan as his time with Atletico Madrid comes to an end.
The 32-year-old Uruguay striker held a press conference in Madrid to state he would no longer be playing at the Vincente Calderon as San Siro awaits him. Forlan will now travel to Milan where he will undergo a medical to then sign a contract with the Serie A outfit.
"I am going to a great club and there is a big challenge ahead of me. I want to thank Massimo Moratti for this chance," he told the press as he announced his departure from Spain. "I have already spoken with Esteban Cambiasso and Diego Milito, they are my friends. I know Serie A having watched many games on television and I am very happy to be playing in Italy after my time in the Premier League, and Liga.
"I am going to play for a great team," he continued. "I liked the project as well as their will to have me. I have a great will to start and changing [teams] will give me new motivation. It's not always that you get the chance to play for a great club at 32, and so for this reason I want to thank Inter and president Moratti."
Forlan played for Atletico since 2007 when he joined them from Villarreal and he will always carry the Spanish side in his heart following their separation.
"I will always support Atletico Madrid and it was an honor to play here," he added. "I enjoyed four great years, fantastic years and I want to wish the team all the best."

User reviews on Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1
Really really good movie. And a really great ending. You have to see it.
Fantastic movie, whether you are a fan of Twilight or not. But you may have trouble if you haven't seen the previous movies. Still, loved it!
I Think The Movie Sounds Great. Even Though I Didn't See It Yet. When It 1st Came Out EVERYONE At My School Was Like "Oh My Gosh! Did You See The New Twilight Movie?!" I Always Said "No" So I Kinda Want To Go See It. My Friends Have Been Talking About Iy And All The Bad Sences..... Me And My Mom Have Been Soo Wanting To See It. (My Mom Is Kinda Crazy .....Kidlike Sometimes....) But Anyway. I Think It Looks Like A good Movie.
People Keep Posting Bad Thinks About It, But I Don't Think The Movie Is All That Bad...
If you are a fan of these films you will probably ignore all bad reviews and still go see it, but this review is for people who like good movies and this film is not good at all. There is absolutely nothing good about this film and I can not believe that people are willing to pay for this trash. Te acting is absolutely terrible, the story is ridiculous and the dialogue is laughable, basically the filmmakers should be ashamed of themselves. Even if I was a fan of these films I would be disappointed with this one, it was absolutely terrible.
I was pretty disappointed in this movie. I have read the books and seen all the movies and up until now I enjoyed the series. This movie was terrible and I wish I did not have to say that because I bought my tickets in advance and went to see it opening night like many people. The movie was at best corny. You would think that after all the money made on these films that they would put in a little more effort. But why should they when they can make so much money with such little effort. The worst part of the movie was the telepathy between the wolfs. It just came off amateurish. The best part was the last 5-10min of the movie where they actually pulled me into the story and I was looking forward to what was going to happen next. This movie was drawn out and boring. I understand they need to tell the story leading up to the big action in part 2 but at least they could have attempted to entertain me. I almost went to see this in Lux level seating and was so glad that I didn't.
This movie was very true to the book. I felt that finally Kristen Stewart was able to get into the character of Bella Swan without being so awkward all the time, so that was a nice change. I wish they would've included the scene from the book where she dreams about the baby (I think it would've been great visually) but that didnt ruin the movie for me. The wedding was beautiful and I loved the scene of Jacob & Renesmee in the future(it made me cry)& hoping/praying they will do a film about them!! The only critique I have is about the scene in the beginning when the wolves are in the field talking to each other. I thought the voices they did were kind of cheesy & they could've done a better job. I did love it when Jacob was running through the woods with all the flashes of his thoughts running past. Very True to the book!!! Overall I loved this movie & I think every TRUE twilight fan will : )
Earlier this year, part 1 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows was released. The book it was based on was huge, filled with so many characters and so much detail that it truly needed to be split in half. Taking a page from that playbook is Breaking Dawn Part 1, which easily could have held both halves.
The big deal here is that Edward and Bella finally do it. Yes, they also get married, and she gets pregnant. The baby, which is sucking the life out of her (literally) is some sort of threat to the wherewolves, and it starts a whole new battle between them and the vampires. It also leads to an unintentionally hilarious scene where the wolves talk about this as wolves. Speaking of talking, there's a lot of slow, brooding talk from everyone involved. And I'm sorry Taylor Lautner, maybe instead of hitting the gym as often as you do, you should take some acting lessons.
I was really hoping that with a real director on board in Bill Condon, we might get something more interesting than we've gotten in the previous movies. Unfortunately, the series seems to have regressed, if that's possible. It's just a dull film that plods along at a snails pace. The script reads like it was written by a teenager, and is acted the same way. I know, I know. I'm not the audience. But taken on its own merits, Breaking Dawn Part 1 is just a boring, goofy vampire movie.
The books are AMAZING!!! And the movies started out rough, but have progressively gotten better... but nothing like this one! :D This one was AWESOME!!! I was soooo happy with the acting, directing and special effects!!!! I LOVED- LOVED- LOVED it!!!! I can't wait to see it again in a few days!!! If you are a fan of the series, you will LOVE it!!! If you are not, then why are you going in the first place?? It was AMAZING!!! :D
I did not think these film can get any worse but I was wrong, this one is absolutely terrible and people who made this film should be ashamed of themselves. In the same time, it is hard to blame filmmakers because people are actually going to theaters and paying money to see these films so i guess they are doing something that people want. It is just hard to grasp why people want to pay money to see terrible acting and a film that has absolutely no emotional or intellectual value. The plot of the film is simply terrible and i did not believe a single scene in this whole film. Overall, if you want to save yourself from a bad time, do not see this movie.

Our Story
The story of LifeGate Church began in my heart in 1999, while I was a sophomore history and intercultural studies major at Lee University. I had known since I was 15 that I was called to spend my life in ministry, I just was not sure exactly what that would mean. During that year of college my heart began to be drawn to church planting and to Lexington, Kentucky.
After graduation and marriage, Jamie and I moved to Roanoke, Virginia to serve as youth pastors and to get our feet wet in ministry. After two years at a great church we felt that our time in Virginia was coming to an end. I came to Lexington on a scouting trip, fully intending for us to move to town and start a church. After 3 days of driving around Man O'War and New Circle (during which I learned all about the joys of Lexington traffic) and praying about the city, I sensed that it was not the right time to move here.
While sitting in my hotel room the next morning, wondering what God wanted us to do, I received a phone call from an old friend in Tennessee asking me to come work with him for a couple of years. Jamie and I moved back to Tennessee and spent the next two years coordinating the Azusa Street Centennial, an event that brought 50,000 Christians from over 100 nations together in Los Angeles to celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit. After working ourselves to exhaustion, we spent a year in Ohio recuperating and pastoring a small church. In the spring of 2007, God began to stir our hearts that it was time to take a leap of faith, follow our dream, and move to Lexington.
When we pulled into town in August of 2007 we only knew one other couple in the city. We soon started a Bible study in our home on Thursday nights with two University of Kentucky students. That group began to grow, and out of that Bible study emerged the launch team for LifeGate Church.
On February 22nd, 2009 we officially launched LifeGate Church with a team of 30 people. Since that time we've seen God do some amazing things as scores of people have found Christ. Lives have been transformed and changed by the grace of God.
Over the last couple of years we've seen some wonderful success, but we believe that God has even greater things in store for us as a church. By some estimates there are as many as 250,000 people in our city who are not following Christ. Our mission as a church is to invite those people to experience the amazing life that Jesus has in store for them. If you're looking for a church that is passionate about Jesus and committed to carrying out his mission then I want to invite you to come check us out.

Every now and then, you get a rumble in your stomach and there's only one thing on your mind: chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! If you can relate, then our Coco Rhumbies were made just for you.
These unique treats are made up of the same delicious coconut cream that's in our Classic Coconut Patties, but with the addition of natural cocoa powder, crushed vanilla wafers, and a subtle hint of rum flavor. After these are mixed together, the patty is then dipped in rich dark chocolate.
Our fun 12 oz. Taste of the Islands box contains 9 Coco Rhumbies individually wrapped to enhance and prolong freshness. These heavenly treats make a great, unique gift for chocolate lovers.
With their irresistible brownie-like taste, our Coco Rhumbies are packed with flavor and can satisfy even the most stubborn chocolate craving.
Here at Anastasia Confections, our family takes pride in everything we make, using only the utmost quality ingredients.
Fun Fact:
Coconuts are often mistaken as a fruit or a nut (because of its name); however, it surprisingly neither of those. Coconuts are actually seeds. Yes, you can plant a coconut husk and watch it grow! But we hope you have patience! It takes about 7 years before you start seeing any coconuts.

Former President George W. Bush will celebrate the Fourth of July in Woodward.
Woodward Mayor Bill Fanning said Bush will be speaking as part of "a special July 3rd and 4th celebration that will forever mark the positive results that the city has achieved (with the Crystal Beach Park renovations)."
Event promoter Landon Laubhan said that there was a lengthy and "interesting process" involved in getting the former president to visit Woodward to be part of two-day celebration in honor of . The process included submitting a number of recommendation letters from officials including U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe and U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas as well as a personal invitation to Bush himself.
In addition to Bush, the two-day event will also feature seven various country artists. Although performance times have not been finalized, the artist lineup was released at Monday's press conference.
On July 3, the concert series is set to begin with a performance by Bo Phillips, older brother to Stoney LaRue. Next in the lineup is Mike McClure, followed by Asleep at the Wheel and Tanya Tucker with Stoney LaRue finishing the evening.
Then following Bush's speech on July 4, there will be a 90-minute concert by Marty Stuart. The Saturday night concert will close with a performance by Sawyer Brown and the evening will then be capped off by a fireworks display as the grand finale.

How can we ever hope to solve our fiscal problems and fix the deficit, and also lower our unemployment when many Republican members of the House of Representatives, including our Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, have signed a pledge to Grover Norquist, a Washington, D.C., lobbyist and political activist, to never, ever, for any reason, agree to increase taxes for anyone.
Let's ask Herrera Beutler to revoke her pledge to Norquist, and to challenge her colleagues in the House to do the same so they can truly work for solving this country's problems. I think the only pledge a member of Congress should make is to the citizens of the district she represents.

The recent snow pattern has definitely favored the northern and central mountains of Colorado, leaving the southwest portion of the state high and dry. That pattern looks to continue this week. Rather than stuck at zero, as with the last round of snow, the southwest mountains should see some accumulations.
The accumulations this week aren't expected to be more than two or three inches per day, though we'll see spikes at select ski areas as we did overnight at Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and Sunlight.
Stay tuned for the latest here every morning, and we'll update you on the current terrain report this weekend. In the meantime, here are the 24-hour totals from across Colorado…

Price rowed for the UCLA men's team before graduating in 2006. Prior to arriving at UCLA in the summer of 2009, he spent the three seasons as an assistant coach with the men's rowing program at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind.
Over the last three seasons, Price's efforts with the varsity four crews have been instrumental to UCLA's overall success. The Bruins advanced as a team to NCAA Championships in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Bruins' varsity four crew finished third in the Grand Final at the San Diego Crew Classic and secured a 15th-place finish at the NCAA Championships in 2014.
In 2013, UCLA's varsity four had a very strong season, highlighted by a second-place finish at the Pac-12 Championships, marking UCLA's best finish in that event since the program's return to varsity status in 2001-02. The varsity also secured a pair of first-place finishes against nationally-ranked competition at the Clemson Invitational in 2013 including a victory over then-No. 3-ranked Virginia. In addition, UCLA's varsity four finished second in the Grand Final race at the San Diego Crew Classic and finished 13th overall at the 2013 NCAA Championships.
In 2012, Price worked with novice crews that earned multiple victories. UCLA's novice eight finished second at Pac-12 Championships, helping the team earn a third-place finish, UCLA's highest since the program was elevated to varsity status. The novice eight bested USC's crew at the annual crosstown race by more than 35 seconds. In addition, the Bruins' novice eight finished second in its Grand Final at the San Diego Crew Classic.
In 2010, Price helped lead the novice crew to multiple victories. After opening the spring season with convincing dual-meet wins over local foes Loyola Marymount and San Diego State, the novice eight earned a second-place finish in the Grand Final of the San Diego Crew Classic. The novice eight defeated Notre Dame in the afternoon portion of the SoCal Challenge and bested crosstown rival USC in the annual dual-meet showdown.
Price served as the freshman/novice coach for the men's rowing program at Notre Dame from 2005-2008, working primarily with walk-on athletes. He helped lead the Notre Dame novice crews to their best finishes in program history.
During the 2007-08 season at Notre Dame, Price coached two national championship novice crews as his student-athletes won both the novice eight and novice lightweight four at the American Collegiate Rowing Association's (ACRA) National Championship Regatta. Price's crews finished third overall in the team points competition at the 2008 ACRA Regatta.
Price led Notre Dame to similar success in 2008-09. That year, he recruited the largest group of freshman/novice athletes in team history and coached three novice eights. Price's novice rowers showcased their depth at the 2009 ACRA Regatta, leading the Fighting Irish to a second place finish in the overall team points competition. The novice lightweight four won the event for the second consecutive year, the first novice eight finished in third place and the second novice eight finished second.
Price spent four years (2003-06) rowing in UCLA's men's program. As a Bruin oarsman, he stroked the novice eight as a freshman and rowed in the varsity eight his final three seasons. In 2006, Price earned the bronze medal rowing in the men's varsity four at the Pac-10 Championships. He received the Coach's Award for his performance and leadership in 2004-05. In addition, Price was a three-time Pac-10 All-Academic Team selection – first team (2005, 2006) and honorable mention (2004).
Price graduated from UCLA in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in political science. He earned his law degree (J.D.) from the University of Notre Dame in 2009 and is a member of the California State Bar.

Update on HESA Safety Code 6 report and scientific evidence on the health effects of radiofrequency wireless radiation
from C4ST to Victoria MP Murray Rankin (Canada, June 2016)
" . . . The first item is a summary of published, peer-reviewed, research identifying over 60 studies from 2015 and 2016 that show harmful or potentially harmful biological effects at levels below Safety Code 6 guidelines (attached). The other two items are recent studies, one on humans and the other on animals that significantly challenge the assumptions of Health Canada's defense of the current levels of Safety Code 6 guidelines. As always, we would be pleased to answer any questions and provide experts to discuss these findings further. . . .
C4ST Response to Health Canada's Safety Code 6 Myth Buster
Canadians for Safe Technology - "Health Canada's 'myth buster' vs the Truth
"On Feb 20th, 2014 Health Canada quietly released a document entitled "Busting Myths on Safety Code 6". This attempt to instill public confidence in safety exposure levels to wireless radiation is using false and unsubstantiated claims. This was again repeated on the newly released 60 day public consultation web page posted May 16th, 2014.
"Gone are the days where the public will accept you are safe just because Health Canada says you are....Canadians and scientists want and deserve proof with an open and transparent review inclusive of the current evidence showing biological harm from wireless radiation.
"C4ST and experts from around the world have come together to provide the real facts around the specific points Health Canada addresses in their Myth Buster document. Here it is . . .
Wi-Fi in Canadian Schools: A Health and Safety Issue
Peer-reviewed scientific studies (50) documenting potentially harmful biological effects of Wi-Fi frequency (2.4-2.45 GHz) at or below Health Canada's Safety Code 61 guidelines and recommendations for precautionary measures (Margaret Friesen M.Sc. via C4ST)
"Best Practices" for prudent use of Wi-Fi in schools
Letter to Manitoba School Superintendent re Wi-Fi in Schools - A Health and Safety Issue
" . . . School boards need not wait for federal regulators to act. Use of the latest electronic tools for 21st Century learning can be achieved by using wired technologies. Two simple, no cost common sense measures that can be taken immediately are to turn Wi-Fi off when not needed and to turn down Wi-Fi routers so they are emitting as little as possible when in use. . . .
Information related electromagnetic fields (EMF) that originate from our use of electricity an wireless communication technologies. The subjects we are mainly concerned with are the harmful effects that EMFs have on human health wildlife and nature. ubjects we are mainly concerned with are the harmful health effects that EMFs have on human health, wildlife, and nature.
Here, Dr. Havas presents her research and the research from other scientists, activists and individuals in the media who all share the goal of informing the public about the hazards of modern electrical technology and how to use these devices safely.
Parliamentary report calls for action on Wi-Fi
CMAJ - Medical knowledge that matters
" . . . Dr. Anthony Miller, a University of Toronto professor emeritus who served as scientific secretary on a scientific review completed in May 2011 by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which concluded that cellphones and other wireless devices such as cordless phones and Wi-Fi transmitters are possibly -- although not probably -- carcinogenic said he was "very pleased with the outcome," of the committee review.
"It will be interesting to see if Health Canada does anything," added Miller, who argued while testifying before the committee that new research overlooked by Health Canada "reinforces the evidence that radio frequency fields are not just a possible human carcinogen, but a probable human carcinogen."
"Health Canada spokesman André Gagnon said "the Department thanks the committee members for their work and is currently reviewing the report. The Government of Canada will respond to the Committee's report in due course."

Warning Labels for cell phones and Wi-Fi: Bill C-648 to protect Canadians from radiation
Warning Labels for Radio Apparatus Act - Conservative MP Terence Young / C4ST - February 1, 2015 - Ottawa Press Conference (CTV Winnipeg News Video)
Conservative MP Terence Young calls for more effective warning labels on cell phones, Wi-Fi, portable phones, baby monitors, and all wireless devices sold in Canada, in order to protect Canadians and empower them with the information they need to understand potential serious risks to their health from long-term continuous use of these devices, and the greater risk to children. This is the first time a government representative has brought a Bill past a first reading re health warnings and labelling for wireless devices in Canada. He has multi-party support for this Private Members Bill.
A new article in The Tyee. Near the end of the article, it includes one Industry response, which seems to be Industry's old-fashioned style of response that insults the intelligence of the public with regard to corporate positioning and strategies. The article ends: "He [MP Young] said there may not be any evidence now, but he is confident that one day it will be shown that cell phones do cause cancer."

Lloyd's of London excludes coverage for RF/EMR claims
Letter to Government from Sharon Noble - Director of Coalition to Stop Smart Meters in BC (includes A&E Policy Document)
Premier Clark, Mr. Bennett and Mr. Reimer,
RE: Lloyd's of London excludes coverage for claims caused by exposure to non-ionizing radiation.
"Based on inaccurate information provided by ITRON, Health Canada and Dr. Perry Kendall, you have been telling people that there is no health risk due to prolonged exposure to radiation from smart meters on homes and wifi in school -- this despite your having received 100s of studies by independent researchers and many letters from scientists and doctors to the contrary.
"I am now forwarding information that should concern you even if the potential health problems these devices cause British Columbians doesn't. Even though I know that the province and BC Hydro self insure their insurance coverage, I suspect you have a stop loss agreement with protection for catastrophic claims. If this stop loss agreement doesn't already contain this waiver, soon it no doubt will exclude any claims associated with exposure to radiation from wireless devices such as cell phones, smart meters or wifi. Premier Clark, Mr. Bennett and Mr. Reimer,
"Lloyd's of London is one of the largest insurers in the world and often leads the way in protection, taking on risks that no one else will. Attached is a recent renewal policy which, as of Feb. 7, 2015, excludes any coverage associated with exposure to non-ionizing radiation. In response to clarification, this response was received on Feb. 18, 2015 from CFC Underwriting LTD, London, UK agent for Lloyd's:
"'The Electromagnetic Fields Exclusion (Exclusion 32) is a General Insurance Exclusion and is applied across the market as standard. The purpose of the exclusion is to exclude cover for illnesses caused by continuous long-term non-ionising radiation exposure i.e. through mobile phone usage."
"This means that the Province (that is we, the taxpayer) will be held liable for claims from teachers and parents of children suffering biological effects from wifi in schools, from homeowners exposed to RF from mandated smart meters on homes, and from employees forced to use cell phones or exposed to wifi at work. Lawsuits in other countries have resulted in huge payments already, and it is only a matter of time before similar lawsuits are filed and won in Canada.
"Potentially those who allow such devices, after having been fully informed about the dangers, could be held liable for negligence, and directors' insurance may not provide financial protection. Directors' insurance applies when people are performing their duties "in good faith". It is hard to argue they are acting "in good faith" after having been warned by true scientific experts and by a well-respected insurer.
"Consider yourself notified once again that you could be held legally responsible for the decisions you have made."
Yours truly,
Sharon Noble
Victoria, BC.

Canadian MPs Seek Warning Labels on Cellphones, Wi-Fi Devices
Should smartphones have a warning label on them? Some Canadian MPs say yes.
"A growing number of Canadian parliamentarians are lending their name in support of a Private Member's Bill requiring warning labels on cell phones, Wi-Fi routers and even baby monitors sold across Canada.
"Conservative MP Terence Young has introduced a bill calling for safety warnings on all such radiation-emitting wireless devices. Young has represented a federal riding in Oakville, ON since 2008.
"Known officially as Private Member's Bill C-648, An Act Respecting the Prevention of Potential Health Risks from Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation (Warning Labels for Radio Apparatus Act), the Bill was seconded by NDP Health Critic, Libby Davies.
"Young, and other supporters of his initiative, want to change the way Canadians think about wireless devices by putting cautionary information about their use and potential health hazards front and centre.
"Or on the back. Or on the box. Or some other location to be determined - the issue is complex, controversial and complicated by the small size and limited real estate on many wireless devices, much less the still hotly debated science and research surrounding electromagnetic radiation, EMR, emitted by devices from cellphones to baby monitors to smart meters and more. . . .

Hydro-Quebec rocked by resignations amid smart-meter flap
The $1-billion smart-meter file has sparked boycotts and petitions over the safety of the devices and Hydro-Quebec's pushy installation measures.
"MONTREAL -- Two Hydro-Quebec executives in charge of the contentious smart-meter program quietly resigned last week along with CEO Thierry Vandal, QMI Agency has learned.
"The $1-billion smart-meter file has sparked boycotts and petitions over the safety of the devices and Hydro-Quebec's pushy installation measures. . .
"Vandal, the president and CEO, quit after 10 years on the job. His resignation takes effect May 1.
"An industry insider said the sudden loss of the three top managers was a shock.
"It's as if Hydro-Quebec has been decapitated," he said.
"The utility is Canada's largest in terms of revenues and capacity.
"Aside from its Quebec monopoly, the utility powers up parts of Ontario, New Brunswick, Labrador and New England. . .
"Some clients, and even some entire towns, are refusing to let Hydro-Quebec install the smart meters on their property."

ATV/Motorboat/Snowmobile General Registration Information
Registering ATV's
Vermont ATV registrations (limited use off-highway plates) are valid for a period of one (1) year.
Residents must annually register ATV's owned or leased for a period of more than thirty days and operated by them, unless currently registered in Vermont. It is illegal for a person to operate an ATV unless the ATV is registered. A "Resident" is any legal resident of this state and any person who accepts employment or engages in a trade, profession or occupation in this state for a period of at least six months (except a person who lives in another state and who returns to that state on a regular basis ---not less than weekly). Also any foreign partnership, firm, association or corporation having a place of business in this state is considered to be a resident with regard to all vehicles owned or leased and which are garaged or maintained in this state.
ATV's may be registered at the Vermont DMV main office (in Montpelier) and certain registration transactions may be performed at our satellite offices (see DMV Office Locations).
Registering Motorboats
You must register your boat if you own and operate a boat, personal watercraft/PWC (Jetski), or shuttlecraft, with a motor attached, on the waters of this state, unless you live out of state and your boat is already registered in your home state or your boat has a valid document issued by a federal agency (Vermont resident or non-resident). To register use form TA-VD-37 Motorboat Registration Application.
Note: Any watercraft (shuttlecraft) which is propelled by other powered watercraft, docked or attached to it, must be registered as a motorboat in addition to the personal watercraft/PWC (Jetski) being registered.
Vessel validations expire annually, at midnight the last day of December. In addition to other documents that may be required, your registration application must be accompanied by:
- A copy of a current (valid) out-of-state registration, or
- A current/valid document issued by the U.S. Coast Guard, or the U.S. Bureau of Customs.
You may operate in Vermont for a period of 90 consecutive days if your home state grants like privileges to Vermont boats or your boat has a federally issued number. However, if you use your vessel in Vermont waters for 30 days or more you must obtain a vessel validation sticker. This validation of your out of state or federal registration will be in effect through December 31 each year. Use form TA-VD-113 Application for Vessel Validation instead of Vermont's registration form (TA-VD-37).
Motorboat Registration Number
The motorboat registration number will be assigned by the Motor Vehicle Department. The owner shall either paint the number on each side of the bow (front section) of the motorboat or purchase the numbers and attach them to each side of the bow. The registration numbers must be positioned and of a size so that they are clearly visible.
Hull Identification Number (HIN)
If there is no Hull Identification Number for your vessel you must make application to the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles for assignment of a HIN on form # TA-VT-03. All vessels manufactured on (or after) November 1, 1972 must have a 12-17 digit HIN.
Registering Snowmobiles
Sections 3201, 3202, and 3204a of Title 23, Chapter 29, Subchapter 1 of Vermont Statutes Annotated explain the circumstances under which a snowmobile must be registered in Vermont.
New (first time being registered by you) registrations can be processed at all permanent DMV offices, (Mobile Van locations can only process if all paperwork is complete and no temporary registration is required), Snowmobile Dealers or VAST.
Renewal of snowmobile registrations can be processed at all DMV locations, using a DMV kiosk (located in Montpelier, Bennington, S. Burlington, Newport and Springfield DMV offices), at the DMV online renewal site or at a VAST location.

According to an Aug. 12 report from MMA Mania, Duane Chapman, known worldwide as Dog the Bounty Hunter, says he's close to finding and arresting War Machine, the former Bellator MMA fighter who allegedly beat up Christy Mack in an attack last week in Las Vegas. Dog the Bounty Hunter claims he's using technology to his advantage in the potential capture of War Machine, as he has taken to social media to find new information on his whereabouts.
Dog the Bounty Hunter is also keeping an eye on cell phone activity and ATM withdrawals that War Machine might be engaged in. For close to a week, War Machine has eluded Las Vegas police. War Machine says he'll keep running because he believes authorities won't give him a fair shake. Dog the Bounty Hunter, who has a hit show on CMT, decided to step in to find the disgraced MMA fighter. Dog the Bounty Hunter has been tracking down criminals for over 25 years, serving as the most popular bounty hunter in the nation.
Dog the Bounty Hunter has not revealed which state they have tracked War Machine to, but he says he's getting close to making an arrest. Of course, he might just be blowing smoke to hype up his television show. However, Dog the Bounty Hunter has a great success rate. In several years of doing the show, not many criminals have gotten away. He says just one man in eight years of doing the show evaded his capture and arrest.
War Machine, 32, has been on the run from police since an Aug. 8 altercation in Las Vegas that involved three people. Besides War Machine, Mack and one other individual were involved. Mack, a world-renowned actress, was severely beaten during the attack. She sustained multiple non-life threatening injuries, including over a dozen broken bones in her face.
Luckily, Mack is expected to survive and make a full recovery. Mack says War Machine became enraged after coming to her home and finding her with another man. She explained that he started throwing punches without saying a word, and that she was attacked along with her friend. She says she broke up with War Machine in May, even though photos of them together surfaced from Phil Baroni's fight a couple weeks ago.
Bellator MMA released War Machine from his contract upon learning the news of his violent episode. What happens next is anyone's guess. Time will tell how the situation pans out, but the hope is that either police or Dog the Bounty Hunter can bring War Machine to justice. MMA fans will be keeping a close eye on the drama.

As my London journeys draw to a close, my dice options are narrowing. On this occasion the chance mechanism hinges on words - by choosing a word from the day's newspaper headline, I am guided to visit tube stations beginning with each letter of the word. As I glanced at my newspaper on the train, one word from the headline stood out - parole, which of course means word in French. What other proof do I need that serendipity is the guiding force of the universe?
Through my camera viewfinder I observe the daily and seasonal nuances which alter our domestic, rural and urban spaces. I usually prefer to take my inspiration from life as it unfolds, seeking to frame the mundane stuff of daily life in unexpected ways and creating fresh perspectives on the everyday. I have a particular interest in photographing the urban landscape, incorporating chance elements and exploring the nature of serendipity, coincidence and connections.The images are then combined into sequences in book form to emphasise the underlying relationships between the apparently random and haphazard, celebrating the accidental and the spontaneous.

Safety on COM Campuses
The campus police department is here to ensure your safety. Throughout the year they come in contact with disruptive students and non-students on campus. If you encounter such a situation the quickest, safest, and most effective way of resolving these disruptions is to call the police dispatch at ext. 7696. A campus police officer will respond and investigate the problem. It is crucial to the success of the investigation, as well as to maintain the privacy of the individual involved, that the officer(s) be allowed to work without interference. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Curriculum and Articulation Technician Tom Hudgen's all-purpose cookbook, The Commonsense Kitchen, was recently reviewed in the San Francisco Chronicle and described as the "cream of the Bay Area's new crop of cookbooks." Congratulations, Tom, and continued success to you!

People can be addicted to a variety of things and substances, some of them don't even realize that they have an addiction until it is too late to do something about it. If it isn't detected and controlled in due time, an addiction can lead to our alienation and self-destruction. Just like in the case of love or financial issues, astrology can help in this area as well, contributing to a person's recovery from an addiction.
Science has its ways to decide whether an individual is addicted to something or not; in astrology, reading the birth chart is the main technique which provides helpful information. A reading offers valuable insights to the astrologer, helping him discover whether the respective individual is inclined to develop a certain addiction during his or her lifetime.
What astrologers do when reading a person's birth char is to search for warning signs in the form of strong influences of both Jupiter and Neptune. Jupiter stands for hedonism and Neptune for intoxication and illusion. This information can greatly aid the person in question, because knowing that they are predisposed to developing an addiction may determine them to do their best in order to prevent it.
Although any kind of foresight provided by astrology has the ability to lead to positive results, each addiction is unique and needs to be treated accordingly. The nature of the addiction dictates what treatment to use. Here the term "addiction" is used broadly to refer not only to drug and alcohol addiction, but to any kind of unhealthy attachment in one's life, such as to food, to money, to watching TV, and so on.
When astrologers work with an addict, they find themselves in a unique position. There are many serious addictions – especially to drugs and to alcohol – which need a considerable amount of time and effort to overcome. Therefore, astrologers should always refer their clients to as many other sources of help as they can (doctors, rehabilitation centers, and so on).
Astrology may not have all the answers in the case of addictions, but it can prove incredibly helpful in recognizing one and in providing help to beat it. Astrology can be an important part of any addiction treatment.


text: Jan 28, 2013 10:28 Lodge must leave church property Lodge must leave church property The Associated Press Comments MINDEN — A year-long dispute between a Webster Parish church and a Masonic lodge has been settled in court in favor of the church. As a result of a consent judgment in state District Court, Dorcheat Masonic Lodge F&AM 276 is evicted from the Evergreen Union Church property and has until March 1 to leave. The ruling recognized the church as sole owner of the 1.2-acre tract that was part of the dispute. The lodge is not leaving empty-handed, though. The church must pay it $60,000. A settlement has been in the works since December. After the ruling, one of the first orders of business was for some church members to return to Evergreen and remove deadbolts that have kept them locked out of the church fellowship hall, known as Givens Hall, since August. The agreement required the lodge to immediately hand over keys to the locks that the lodge had changed. Dorcheat lodge master William Frasier had said the locks were changed on orders of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana. The intermingling of the church and lodge stretches back decades. In 1915, after a two-story building was added to the sanctuary, the Masonic lodge was given permission to use the second floor for its meetings. Many of the lodge members also held church membership. The relationship was unchallenged until recent years when death caught up with aging lodge members and a rift developed as leadership of the Dorcheat Lodge changed. The church voted in January 2012 to ask the lodge to vacate the property by April 2012. And because lodge members had participated in construction of Givens Hall, the church offered to pay Dorcheat Lodge $30,000. But the lodge balked and claimed ownership of Givens Hall. The fallout put friends and neighbors at odds. It even extended into other Webster Parish Masonic lodges as some members opted to side with the church in disagreement with the Dorcheat Lodge's actions. Several were subsequently kicked out of their lodges, while others resigned. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

East Boulder Bike Pool Program
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From East Boulder Transportation Options
Boulder East's PoolBike program assists your company with setting up and managing bikes. The PoolBike program is one of Boulder East's most popular program with currently 20 different companies and 36 bikes.
The bikes can conveniently be used for errands, lunch, off-site meetings during the work day instead of driving. PoolBikes provide all the benefits of biking - personal health and environmental benefits - plus they add to employer's benefits such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
An online PoolBike manager allows the program to run smoothly with very little administrative intervention. An employee checks out a bike on-line. It then can be used to calculate miles ridden, gas saved, calories burned and C02 saved. Plus it displays the top rider in each company.
Boulder East has partnered with Community Cycles to service and maintain the PoolBikes on a rotation throughout the year and as needed, including a 48 hour emergency repair service. We also provide bikes made for commuting (Breezer Bikes) with features such as an internal hub, chain guard, enders, rack, lights, a shock-absorbing seatpost — even a bell. The savings of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for each bike is typically around 5,000 miles per year.
Current employers taking advantage of the PoolBike program include: Foothills Community Hospital, Roche Colorado, OSI Pharmaceuticals, Fresh Produce, Hybrids Plus, Whole Foods, Wall Street on Demand, Ball Aerospace, Polycom, Boulder County, The Peloton, and Twenty Ninth Street Retail District.
Boulder East assists companies in promotion of the PoolBike program including incentives.

|The Interior
of the Sun
We shall consider the interior structure of the sun in more detail when we consider the solar energy production. In this section we consider only the general properties of the Sun's interior.
|The Sun and planets drawn to scale
Thus, for example, the radius of the Sun is about 109 times that of the Earth, which implies that the volume of the Sun would hold approximately 1.3 million Earths (since the volume goes as the cube of the radius). However, the average density of the Sun is much smaller than that of the Earth: about 1.4 g/cm3 compared with about 5.5 g/cm3 for the Earth. As we shall see, this is because the composition of the Sun is dominated by the light elements hydrogen and helium (similar to the Gas Giant planets), while that of the terrestrial planets is dominated by heavier metals and their compounds.
These zones may be characterized by their ranges of temperature and density, and also by the mode of energy transport through them.
The left image illustrates a computer generated model of acoustic waves in the
body of the Sun (Source). The right image illustrates a similar calculation
(Ref) of a standing wave
with red and blue indicating displacements of opposite sign.
Presently, helioseismology is placing strong constraints on our
theories of the solar interior. This information is important, for
example, in the discussion of the
solar neutrino problem.

Have you ever used your LinkedIn account to find a date? If you hadn't thought about it yet, rest assured - there's now an app for that.
LinkedUp! is a new dating app that uses your LinkedIn account to pull information from your profile, like your industry, schools, and job so that you can be matched with other networking singles using the app.
Mixing business with pleasure carries some risk, of course. What if you hit on one of your LinkedIn connections and she says no thanks - then a few weeks later that same contact is looking to hire a consultant like you for one of her high-paying clients? It's some murky water once you start looking to your career contacts to get a little action.
But LinkedUp! has thought of the possible repercussions, allowing members to anonymously like or pass user profiles. There's no obvious rejection and you can go about your work day without stressing about how this might affect your career in the long-run. Your work contacts can remain separate from your personal life. That is, unless you both mutually agree you want to date.
Max Fischer is a former finance analyst and current President and CEO of LinkedUp!. He got the idea to create a LinkedIn-based dating app after he noticed that people were using the career networking site to find dates, including him. When I asked him how this app would be better than finding dates through Facebook, he noted: "LinkedUp! users get a very true sense of who someone is, where they are from, where they go to school and what do they do, giving users a sense of comfort and trust."
The app is still in the beta phase growing its membership, but the most active users are in the major cities of New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, where working and dating are very co-mingled already.
You can download the app for free from the iTunes store.

My active directory domain's name is "mywebsite.com" instead of "mywebsite.local". I had to do this as a workaround to other issues, and to change it will be a pain. When people inside of my company visit "mywebsite.com", it redirects to our DC instead of our website. How can I make it redirect to our website?
You can't.
You can define any hostname or subdomain you want in your AD's main DNS zone, but for AD to work properly, the A records for the domain itself must point to your domain controllers.
So, having "www.mywebsite.com" pointing to your web site is fine, but having "mywebsite.com" do the same is not.
Addendum: hosting your web site on your DC would of course fix the issue, but I strongly advise you against that; DCs are definitely not meant to host web sites.
You really shouldn't use the .local TLD (or any made up TLD) or the address of a public website. You should use a sub-domain of a domain that you already own (i.e.
The best thing to do is rename your Active Directory Domain. You can't do this if you have Exchange 2007 or 2010 installed, but you can certainly reinstall it in the new domain.
If you don't want to do a rename, which is really the best thing to do, you can do some voodoo like install IIS on all of the DCs that redirect to the external site, but that's a bad fix. Really, just do a domain rename and learn from your mistake.
I always name my internal ad domains ad.companyname.com so I'm
I'm going to repeat what uSlacker has mentioned above with a bit more detail as what he says will work. The rather pedantic arguments above are valid but I'll let you decide on whether you want a solution today or would prefer to spend several risky days migrating your domain or renaming it.
Its not much of a problem - you should be able to do this in 30 mins or less. It will not affect the operation of AD in the slightest.
Anyone in the office who types www.mywebsite.com will directly open the public site.
Anyone who types mywebsite.com will open the default web page on the DC and it will redirect to www.mywebsite.com
You could be more sophisticated and create an IIS site with a header of mywebsite.com and put the redirect there so as not to modify the default web site. If you already host other web apps on your DCs then this would be cleaner. Your call.
I believe you can make this work, but it adds a bit of risk to your setup. You would need to add IIS to your domain controllers. Then redirect the index.asp to www.yourdomain.com. If you have multiple DCs, you'd need it on each.
I do not recommend this approach, but instead tell folks is cannot work as we have done. However I realize business needs may mandate a solution.

Counter-Strike: Source (officially abbreviated CSS) is an FPS video game developed by Valve Corporation. It is a complete remake of Counter-Strike using the Source game engine. As in the original, Counter-Strike: Source pits a team of counter-terrorists against a team of terrorists in a series of rounds. Each round is won either by completing an objective (such as detonating a bomb or rescuing hostages) or by eliminating all members of the enemy team.
Counter-Strike: Source was initially released as a beta to members of the Valve Cyber Café Program on August 11, 2004. On August 18, 2004, the beta was released to owners of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and those who had received a Half-Life 2 voucher bundled with some ATI Radeon video cards.
On October 11, 2006, Valve released an experimental update, Dynamic Weapons Pricing. Under this system, item prices are determined based on their demand the previous week. Other updates, such as an enhanced radar system, have been generally accepted as a positive enhancement.
Counter-Strike ( /ˈkaʊn.tə[unsupported input] ˈstraɪk/, sometimes differentiated as Counter-Strike 1.6 and shortened to CS) is a tactical first-person shooter video game developed by Valve Corporation which originated from a Half-Life modification by "Gooseman" and Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe. The game has been expanded into a series since its original release, which currently includes Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, Counter-Strike: Source, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Counter-Strike pits a team of counter-terrorists against a team of terrorists in a series of rounds. Each round is won by either completing the mission objective or eliminating the opposing force.
The game was the most played Half-Life modification in terms of players, according to GameSpy in 2008.
As of August 2011, the Counter-Strike franchise (Valve) has sold over 27 million units.
Counter-Strike is a first-person shooter in which players join either the terrorist team, the counter-terrorist team, or become spectators. Each team attempts to complete their mission objective and/or eliminate the opposing team. Each round starts with the two teams spawning simultaneously.
In digital logic and computing, a counter is a device which stores (and sometimes displays) the number of times a particular event or process has occurred, often in relationship to a clock signal.
In electronics, counters can be implemented quite easily using register-type circuits such as the flip-flop, and a wide variety of classifications exist:
Each is useful for different applications. Usually, counter circuits are digital in nature, and count in natural binary. Many types of counter circuits are available as digital building blocks, for example a number of chips in the 4000 series implement different counters.
Occasionally there are advantages to using a counting sequence other than the natural binary sequence—such as the binary coded decimal counter, a linear feedback shift register counter, or a Gray-code counter.
Counters are useful for digital clocks and timers, and in oven timers, VCR clocks, etc.
An asynchronous (ripple) counter is a single JK-type flip-flop, with its J (data) input fed from its own inverted output. This circuit can store one bit, and hence can count from zero to one before it overflows (starts over from 0). This counter will increment once for every clock cycle and takes two clock cycles to overflow, so every cycle it will alternate between a transition from 0 to 1 and a transition from 1 to 0. Notice that this creates a new clock with a 50% duty cycle at exactly half the frequency of the input clock. If this output is then used as the clock signal for a similarly arranged D flip-flop (remembering to invert the output to the input), you will get another 1 bit counter that counts half as fast. Putting them together yields a two-bit counter:
