The purpose of this study was to provide an examination of differences in college women's self-reported heterosexual aggression between two samples. One sample of college women was drawn from three colleges in and around New York city (East; N = 212) and one was drawn from a midsized commuter university in Louisiana (South; N = 249). The respondents were questioned about their lifetime initiation of heterosexual activity. Approximately 28.5% of the women from the East reported engaging in sexually initiatory behaviors traditionally defined as sexual coercion, 21.1% in sexual abuse, and 7.1% in physically forced sex. The women in the sample from the South also reported engaging in sexual coercion (25.7%), sexual abuse (7.3%), and physically forced sex (1.6%), but at lower rates than the other sample. Chi-square tests demonstrated significant group differences for overall sexual aggression (the combination of coercion, abuse, and physical force), sexual abuse, and physically forced sex but not for sexual coercion. Theory building and differences between samples are discussed.

Please enter a valid mileage
Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Ford C-MAX Energi
By KBB.com Editors
As the mpg wars rage on, there is one word that typically comes to mind when shopping for a new fuel-efficient vehicle: Prius. But the 2013 Ford C-Max intends to disrupt that involuntary word association by offering eco-conscious consumers the fuel economy they expect from an efficiency leader with the driving dynamics of a conventionally-driven 5-door hatchback. Similarly, the interior layout looks, feels and operates like a traditional vehicle, while the plug-in Energi variant bridges the efficiency gap in Ford's lineup between the C-Max Hybrid and the all-electric Focus EV. In a category dominated by the Prius family of vehicles, the 2013 Ford C-Max has all the right stuff to compete head-to-head with one of the most recognized vehicle nameplates in history.
If you are on the hunt for a highly-efficient vehicle, but unwilling to sacrifice horsepower and responsive handling, the 2013 Ford C-Max provides the best balance of fuel economy and driving fun in the segment.
If mpg and price are the key criterion in your next new car, you might find the Toyota Prius' superior fuel mileage and lower starting price more appealing.
The 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid and Energi plug-in hybrid constitute a new breed of fuel sippers designed to split the difference between the regular Toyota Prius and the mid-size Prius V in terms of size, price and fuel economy.
When it comes to driving performance, the Ford C-Max enjoys a sizable advantage over the competition. Ford's third-generation hybrid drive system feels considerably more powerful than its Prius rivals, and...
... the virtually seamless transition from gasoline engine to electric motor effectively disguises the C-Max's hybrid nature. Although the 2013 C-Max is nearly 600 pounds heavier than the Toyota Prius, winding roads are tackled with a surprising level of precision and control. Outward visibility is equally good, as the C-Max's elevated seating position provides an SUV-like view of the road ahead. Apart from its awkward location, the brake pedal has a firm, linear feel. Despite the Ford C-Max's relatively tidy dimensions, road and wind noise at highway speeds are well contained.
Since plug-in hybrid vehicles are still in a state of infancy, Ford developed a smartphone application to help C-Max Energi owners manage charge times and check battery levels, and it also provides a map of local charging stations.
When vehicle speeds increase, aerodynamics go to work. By redirecting the flow of air around rather than through the grille opening at highway speeds, the Ford C-Max's active grille shutters reduce turbulent airflow and improve fuel efficiency.
Ford's newfound status as a leader in interior design and material quality is evident in the 2013 C-Max. The 5-passenger cabin is filled with attractive, soft-touch surfaces that combine to produce a remarkably upscale feel, particularly for this class of vehicle. Ergonomics are excellent, with controls that are user-friendly and easily accessible. Headroom is overly abundant in all seating positions, and rear legroom is suitable for six-footers. The cargo area offers slightly more space than the regular Prius, but significantly less than the larger Prius V.
In order to fuse aerodynamics with utility, the 2013 Ford C-Max's exterior design emphasizes function over form. While no less stylish than a Prius, the Ford C-Max features a distinctive shape that associates more closely with a multi-purpose vehicle than a hatchback. Though it shares the majority of its underpinnings with the Ford Focus, the C-Max is roughly five inches shorter in length. The C-Max's taller stature makes it easier for taller drivers to enter and exit the vehicle, while the available power liftgate incorporates a height-adjustable function to accommodate users of all sizes.
In base SE form, the 2013 Ford C-Max includes dual-zone climate control, manually-adjustable front seats, a 60/40-split rear seat, 17-inch alloy wheels and a 6-speaker audio system with basic hands-free voice recognition and a USB port for portable music players. SEL models add heated front seats, leather seating, push-button start and the MyFord Touch infotainment system with an 8-inch touch-screen display and conversational voice-recognition software. Safety equipment includes seven airbags, a full complement of electronic stability aids and Ford's SOS post-crash alert system that activates the horn and hazard lights in the event of an airbag deployment.
Features available for both SE and SEL trims include a panoramic moonroof with a power-operated sunshade, remote-start system and touch-screen navigation with customizable routes from MapQuest. SEL models offer a convenient foot-activated power liftgate that opens and closes by simply waving your foot under the rear bumper as well as an active park assist feature that makes parallel parking as simple as pressing a button. The C-Max Energi comes in one trim level and offers most of the features available for the C-Max Hybrid.
Every C-Max features a new 2.0-liter Atkinson-Cycle 4-cylinder engine, a gearless continuously-variable transmission (CVT) and a 35-kW electric motor to produce a combined 188 horsepower. The Energi boasts a larger version of the Hybrid's lithium-ion battery pack for an all-electric range of approximately 20 miles. And, unlike the Toyota Prius, the C-Max Hybrid can travel up to 62 mph under full electricity.

"Having owned increasingly more expensive Infinitis for the last 22 years & becoming disillusioned with their repair service I decided it was time for something new. With 4 kids in high school & younger all playing sports I needed something more practical than a regular sedan & since most of my during was to our school or nearby, a plugin hybrid seemed perfect for us---& it's probably the best vehicle decision I've ever made. In 1 1/2 years I've gone almost 18,000 miles, all but 3500 on electric. My electric bill increased about $25-30 while our gas bill decreased from $80/week (for 2 cars) or more during school to $25-30 every 4-6 weeks! The car has almost paid for itself most months & we've gone from splitting time between 2 vehicles to barely using our other vehicle. As for the car itself, the fit & finish isn't quite what iVe grown accustomed to from my Infinitis. This vehicle isn't exactly cheap & there are cheap plastic parts that don't quite fit together on the interior while the extensive use of such cheap plastic has led to occasional squeaks and light rattles. These kind of noises would normally drive me crazy but they aren't overwhelming so I can tolerate them but it just bothers me thinking that for $38k Ford chose such cheap material--which includes leather for the seats that's so cheap feeling one would think it was vinyl. I have only had 1 mechanical issue--a dead battery which was due to a software issue which they easily fixed. But there have been other fit issues on the exterior that I've had to bring back to the dealer several times & they still haven't fixed--the rubber gasket/insulation around the driver's side rear door keeps folding over on itself when the door is closed & I have to constantly fiddle with the door to get it to unfold properly. Left this way the insulation would eventually tear & fall apart prematurely. Finally, the EPA rated gas mileage was 45mpg & though I've averaged 130 combined mpg, on the highway for an extended trip it will only get 35mpg. On the bright side, since it is a plugin, I've gone 6 weeks or more a couple of times without putting gas in the car & can squeeze 30 miles on a full charge as long as it isn't Summer (ac is a must have in FL during the Summer) when I typically get between 24-27 miles. Cold will more adversely affect your available electric miles as on some cold days I've only had 17 miles available after a full charge. Charging on 120v takes about 4 1/2 hours from empty though this can be cut to 1 1/2 hrs or less if you get a 240v charger which I surely would have done had I not leased it."

"Went from a 2007 Saab 2.0l turbo SportCombi wagon to the C-Max Energi and wow... The car feels very solid, both in fit and finish and its drivability. At low speed and high, the driving dynamics don't feel like you're driving a compact car, let alone a hybrid/electric compact car. It has very peppy pick up and the handling is solid. When I test drove it I kept thinking why aren't more people driving this car? In fact, when I test drove a Prius right after, I was shocked at how entirely blah it felt in comparison. Not only am I averaging 49 MPG, the inside the C-Max is much quieter and roomy than expected with a great seating position and view from the drivers seat (again for a compact car this is a surprise). Technology features abound within as well which (almost) make driving my 120 mile round trip daily commute enjoyable. Lastly, as I get to drive in the commuter lane here in Nor-Cal - solo - the 20 mile electric only feature is well worth loss of any rear hatch space. I say, well done Ford."

"As in another review, I too wonder why you don't see more of the C Max Energy on the road. This is a great car, and fun to drive. I road tested this car against a Volt and Prius, and the C Max won hands down for drivability, quality, looks, and high technology. I only rated the comfort a 9 because the seats are a bit stiff compared to a cushy Honda Accord that I used to drive. I have owned it for 3 weeks now. I have a 50 mile commute to work and I have been averaging 70 mpg. I do plug in before I leave for work and while at work, so that helps the mpg rating alot. This car deserves your consideration when shopping for a hybrid plug-in. It is loaded with high technology such as park assist, voice command of the sound system, and navigation, rear camera, and hands-free tailgate self-opening."

"I decided to sell my Flex and purchase a more fuel efficient vehicle while gas is so affordable. The great price on a plug in hybrid plus all the standard features in the C Max Energi make me wonder why more people don't drive one ! The electric range is from 22-29 depending on my driving and the regenerative brakes contribute to better mpg. I can go three to four weeks without a fill up. Even when my electric charge is empty the C Max spends most of its time in electric mode . I only see the car using hybrid on hilly driving or quick acceleration. The transition from hybrid to electric is seamless. You wouldn't know it was electric. The electric motor is fast and efficient. I use the 110 electric charge cable that was standard. It usually charges in under 6 hours overnight. It is roomy comfortable and quiet. It is easy to enter and exit the vehicle. The vehicle begins to remember your driving pattern and style while maximizing your mpg. It also has an eight year one hundred thousand mile warranty on the hybrid/battery components. You can't ask for a better vehicle."

"Last December, I started a search for a car to replace my 10 year old Saturn VUE. Narrowed it down to the C-Max Hybrid, about 1 year used. I've found buying gentle used cars to be better than buying new. Those are few and far between in the area, either due to the low production rate, or popularity of the car. In April, although I wasn't looking for the plug-in hybrid, I found a 2014 1 year used with 16k miles that I thought made good sense. My commutes and trips around Albuquerque are generally less than 20 miles round trip, so it REALLY made sense. I can't say enough about how after 4 months of driving, I'm really enjoying every feature on it, in particular that I can just plug in into a 110 outlet next to my car in the garage overnight and be ready for a day's worth of driving at 1/10th the cost of gas and NO emissions. Long road trips are also a pleasure--I've been averaging over 39mpg on gas alone, which is a far sight better than my old VUE. Comfort and convenience are extraordinary. I feel totally spoiled with all the bells and whistles Ford has built into this model, which came with the technology package and the enhanced sound system. I haven't had any really issues with the large battery pack in the rear. I can still haul a dozen bags of mulch plus various other items back to the house. There is a bit of awkwardness with larger items, but truly, it's not an issue. Quietness? Amazing! Acceleration? So smooth in EV mode. Moving to gas isn't even noticable. I love that I can switch between EV only, EV as needed, or gas only. If I need more punch, I can gun it a bit for that extra horsepower the gas engine will give. NO problems with freeway access. I get a kick out of being able to regenerate a bit of the battery with braking and downhill driving, a bonus I hadn't thought about. I get between 18 and 24 miles on EV only, which is quite decent for my personal around town. For those with longer commutes, I'd just consider it bonus mileage without having to consume gas. I'd buy this car again in a heartbeat."

"I've had this car 30 days and I've used ONE GALLON OF GAS! 22-mile commute each way is done in 100% electric mode, consistently getting 27-28 mile range on each charge. I leased it with no options, yet I still have everything I want or need: heated leather seats, dual-zone auto climate control, back-up sensors, keyless entry and start. The most surprising aspect for me has been what it takes to drive it: gentle starts and stops, paying close attention to signal lights and traffic ahead, anticipating and planning your trips. In other words, the old rules of defensive driving work surprisingly well for this car, and I can't imagine a better car in which to teach a teenager how to drive. If you have a standard commute every day of 25 miles per less on each leg and you're a good defensive driver, you'll love this car."

So I found this part of Scott M.'s drafting philosophy quite interesting especially given the success of "average" or "small" players had this year:
"...But again, I'll never lose sight of this and maybe I'm a dinosaur in this, but it's a big man's game. From the standpoint of holding up through a season durability-wise. But also in the playoffs. You have to have some size and some power and strength I think to be a contender year in and year out."
So I understand what Scotty is saying, but is it true? When I look at a DeShuan Foster or even a Chris Johnson, those guys torched the league despite their size. Sometimes I think we can be too obsessed with the size of a player and forget about the talent.
So what do you think? Is this a good philosophy to have? What's the deciding factor is how you've compiled your mocks? What have you seen translate from the college to the pros and why do you think that? I thought it was interesting that his mentors both Wolfe and Thompson had many more successful drafts than Scott has had thus far. What is he doing right? What is he doing wrong?
Your thoughts guys - I've not really ever heard you guys talk about how the Niner's GM approaches the draft.

AbstractThe proposed "Observation platform for dynamic biomedical and biotechnology experiments using the ISS Light Microscopy Module" consists of a platen sized to fit the stage of NASA's Light Microscopy Module (LMM) on the International Space Station (ISS). At the heart of the innovation is a small hollow microscope slide into which specimens and reagent solutions can be injected by a combination of small reservoirs, pumps and valves under computer control. All components are designed into the single platen. Techshot's enabling technology for this product will greatly accelerate the research and development cycle. In Phase I research Techshot will (1) canvass potential users and produce a requirements document that covers user needs, function in low gravity and safety aboard the ISS, (2) design and build a prototype for feasibility testing in Techshot's laboratory, and (3) demonstrate operation using living cells. In Phase II research Techshot will produce a version of the Platform worthy of validating for flight readiness. The compact Platform will be able to be moved to and from ISS on any orbital transfer vehicle. The Platform is expected to be made available to a variety of users of the LMM and should serve to create new users and novel uses of the LMM.

I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this, but this is what I need:
I want to create a jump menu which displays the posts of the current category being viewed. I know very little PHP, and have scoured the net for a solution to this problem. No current WordPress plugins can currently do it, so I would like to know if there is a code I can implement which will give me what I want.
Basically, it would query the database for the current category being viewed, then get the posts for the current category being viewed, and then display them in a jump menu. Of course, the posts displayed would change dynamically depending upon which category is being viewed. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New London — The mayor vetoed a City Council ordinance Thursday that would have required the police department to have four K-9 teams, but said he would work with the police union to create a two-dog K-9 unit.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said the ordinance passed by the City Council Aug. 5 violates the City Charter and is an attempt to micromanage the police department. In a three-page explanation of the veto submitted to the City Clerk Thursday afternoon, Finizio also said the ordinance is an unfunded mandate that the city cannot afford, and it interferes with collective bargaining with the police union.
But in an effort to move forward, after speaking with police department administration, Finizio said, he felt there was enough money in the budget for two dogs.
"Although, I maintain the view that even these resources could be better used on other law enforcement needs, I believe that the views of the Council and the union should be respected in an attempt to reach a reasonable compromise to allow our city to move beyond this debate,'' Finizio said in the explanation.
"If the veto of this Ordinance is sustained, I certify I will seek language in the new contract that expands the minimum K-9 requirement from one to two active units,'' Finizio said in a prepared statement. "This will double the existing contractual mandate for a K-9 program."
Jane Glover, the city's chief administrative officer, and police Deputy Chief Peter Reichard, also objected to the ordinance. Glover echoed Finizio's reasons. Reichard added that the department cannot afford four K-9 units. The estimated cost to maintain three dogs is nearly $69,000 a year, he said.
"... based on the current financial state of the department and the level of crime observed ... increasing the size of the canine unit was not feasible and in its present state the current unit does not provide an adequate service to the City of New London,'' Reichard wrote in an Aug. 12 memo to the mayor.
The council fought against the reduction of the K-9 unit in last year's budget, only to see the unit reduced this year to one dog. The mayor has made no secret of his disapproval of the patrol dogs, citing past complaints from bite victims.
Earlier this year, Finizio retired Bessie, a bloodhound that had been used for tracking, after her handler took a job with the state police. He also retired Buck, a patrol dog cross-trained in narcotics detection, for medical reasons. Finizio has since agreed to bring back Bessie, who has been in a kennel in Norwich for the past two months. Bessie is trained to track trace scents for extended period of times.
The other K-9 in the department is Jasper, a German shepherd assigned to Officer Todd Lynch, who is certified as a police dog trainer and is head of the department's K-9 unit. Jasper is trained in tracking, handler protection, deterrence and evidence recovery.
In response to public pressure, after the mayor announced that the department was going to have only the one K-9 unit required by the police union contract, the council passed the ordinance requiring four dogs. It previously had passed a non-binding resolution recommending the police have four K-9 units.
The ordinance was approved unanimously at the council's Aug. 5 meeting, despite an opinion from the city attorney that it violated Sections 40 and 37 of the City Charter.
Attorney Jeffrey T. Londregan wrote that the proposed ordinance was an attempt to dictate how the police department operates and what assets it must maintain. Under the charter, the mayor, who is the chief executive of the city, controls the police department. The council cannot "dictate, or attempt to dictate" the way the mayor manages the city and its staff, Londregan wrote.
A motion to override the veto will be discussed at a City Council meeting Monday. The council needs six out of seven votes to override a veto.
While the vote on the ordinance was unanimous, two councilors, Wade A. Hyslop Jr. and Donald Macrino, said last week they would not support a veto override.

Join us September 18-21, 2016, as we reflect on the theme Love God, Love Your Neighbor: Living the Greatest Commandments
Welcome to ACU Summit 2016
View entire Summit 2016 Program
Some 613 laws, according to Jewish tradition, provided direction for the people of God. Rabbis argued for hundreds of years concerning which law took precedence over others. That debate continued in the first century. When an expert in the law asked Jesus which was the greatest commandment, without hesitation Jesus said, "Love God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind." For three days, September 18-21, the Abilene Christian University Summit will reflect on Love God, Love Your Neighbor: Living the Greatest Commandments. We look forward to welcoming you to the ACU campus and Summit 2016. Online registration will open in May.
We offer you a special invitation to join us at Abilene Christian University for 2016 Summit on September 18-21.
Theme speakers will present on the topic Love God, Love Your Neighbor: Living the Greatest Commandments. There will be many classes offered on issues of ministry, missions, worship, spiritual formation, culture and congregational leadership.
ACU and The Siburt Institute will host the 2016 Summit and we all look forward to the blessing of having you on our campus to study and to connect with friends from near and far.

Over the past two decades of underwater conservation we've learned that divers are true leaders in ocean protection. We're ocean heroes numbering in the millions across the globe. We believe together our actions will make a huge impact and will help to rescue the ocean.
With new programs and more online resources than ever before, Project AWARE supports an unprecedented global movement of divers acting in their own communities to protect the ocean and implement lasting change.
We're focusing in on two major ocean issues –Sharks in Peril and Marine Debris, or trash in our ocean. Truly, there are many conservation issues converging on our ocean planet at once, but we're concentrating on these serious problems where scuba divers are uniquely positioned to directly and positively affect real, long-term change in these two areas.
Together, we're re-thinking what's possible and sharing a positive vision for our ocean future. Get ready for the work ahead by joining the movement of thousands of divers to protect our ocean planet.

Employment in Technology Sector Stuck in a Slump
As Silicon Valley rides a recovery in the technology sector, local companies such as Google Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. have said they will beef up their work forces. But judging by California's employment data, such hiring has yet to happen.
In fact, Silicon Valley counties such as Santa Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco continue to report a drop in employment in tech sectors such as computer manufacturing, software and Internet-related fields. There was some modest job growth locally during the recession, but it was in areas unrelated to tech, such as health care.
The employment decline in many tech categories is part of a decadelong trend. While jobs in other categories -- such as Internet workers and new areas such as iPhone app development and clean technology -- have grown or at least remained stable over the decade, that hasn't been enough to offset the overall disappearance of tech jobs.
In Santa Clara County, which includes metropolitan San Jose, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, employment in computer and electronics product manufacturing fell to 102,500 in September, the lowest point this decade, according to the California Employment Development Department. At its peak in December 2000, the sector employed 177,600.
The number of those employed in the semiconductor and electronic-component manufacturing sectors in the Santa Clara area also dropped to its lowest number this decade, to 39,500 in September from a peak of 73,400 in December 2000, according to the employment department.
Software employment in the Santa Clara region, meanwhile, slid to 9,200 in September from 10,600 a year earlier. Internet workers totaled 18,200 in Santa Clara County in September, down slightly from 18,600 a year earlier. Jobs in both those segments have risen from earlier this decade.
In the San Mateo, Redwood City and San Francisco area, there were 37,300 people in September working in the information field, which includes Internet companies and telecommunications. That was down from 39,900 a year ago, according to the employment department.
For those in computer systems design and related services, jobs held steady at 32,300 workers in that segment in San Mateo and San Francisco counties in September.

Video: The Price OF Carbon Requires A Price ON Carbon
This video produced by the Climate Reality Project featuring Reggie Watts demonstrates the argument that because carbon pollution costs us money, the world should put a price on carbon.
It's important to remind viewers that it should be the polluters paying for what their products cost all of us — that they should not simply pass on the costs to everyone else. These companies already know carbon emissions will affect their bottom lines. But it's difficult to ask consumers to pay double for fossil fuel addiction when these large companies and utilities slow-walk toward renewable energy. Especially when polluters' products cause so many dangerous and expensive impacts.
So what's the answer? The Center for American Progress has a report detailing what a carbon tax should look like, including ways to "minimizing harm to vulnerable consumers and businesses, growing the economy with investments in clean energy infrastructure and other infrastructure that makes communities more resilient in the face of climate change, and reducing the deficit burden on future generations."
What do you think a price on carbon should look like?
9 Responses to Video: The Price OF Carbon Requires A Price ON Carbon
What do you think a price on carbon should look like?
How about $Infinity.00 per ton?
But I am willing to compromise and come down 50% to meet in the middle.
Australia, California, the RGGI – we're seeing that pricing carbon can work!
Corporations are "People" now, yet can still pollute the commons for profit. I, a flesh and blood "people" cannot do that. If I throw a paper cup out the car window, bingo, ~$100 fine. (A $1,000 in AK.) Corpro/People are allowed to throw hundreds of pounds of toxic stuff out my tailpipe and amass multi-billions of $$$. Guide lines here? You and I are even forced to subsidize the ecocide of the planet with our tax dollars without our consent, whereas the GOP do not fund abortion! Very strange.
Stop Profits from the pollution of the commons. Distributed Green Energy brings both green power and money to "We the People" not profits to the polluters.
A price on carbon should be a price on GHGs, all human induced GHGs (except I presume water vapor) measured in CO2 equivalents. This means you too VOCs and N2O.
A price on GHGs should include all human made sources of GHGs, from coal plants to cow farts.
A price on GHGs should include the GHG content of all imports, from Chinese widgets to Canadian bitumen to Columbian Oil.
A price on GHGs should be high enough to have an effect and go up from there.
Ours which hits less than 500 of the biggest producers for $23 per tonne, rises every year and compensates consumers (means tested) is working well but I worry about what will happen when the price floats in July 2015. Part of the $ raised is also placed into a fund for renewables and we must not lose that, ME

You asked:
What do you think a price on carbon should look like?"
Well, my answer is, nothing like the CAP proposal at your link to December 2012. What an awful explanation of principles. And, it fails the two most fundamental tests—it's not calibrated to what the science says we need to do, and it's not politically viable with Republicans—whose leadership will be essential on this.
So, here's my statement of principles that any carbon tax needs to embrace.
• It reduces emissions by 80% by 2050. The first test of any carbon tax is whether it's big enough to do the job of reducing emissions. It needs to be based on our best science—literally the physics and chemistry of the earth. Right now that means is it big enough to get us an 80% emissions reduction by 2050. If you start small—you need to grow the tax each year. (NOTE: CAP's one-time $25/ton CO2 is wholly inadequate—it fails the principle yardstick. It has no growth built in. It's worthless.)
• It's revenue neutral. The second test of any carbon tax is political viability. CAP's tax is dead on arrival with Republicans. You can't use the money to subsidize alternative energy. What you need is carbon tax that high energy users (that means high income households folks—energy use is directly and incredibly highly correlated to income) pay. If you rebate 100% to households on a per capita basis (for all adults) 2/3 of Americans would break even or come out ahead—primarly the lowest 2/3 by income. Further, with 100% of the taxes going back to individual Americans (government doesn't keep a nickel) you aren't taking any money out of the economy. That means there's no way to argue it will kill the economy or kill jobs.
• It's progressive. Discussed above. Again, If you had a 100% revenue-nuetral tax returned in equal per capita checks, most Americans (the 66% lowest income) would break even or come out ahead. Their monthly refunds would match or exceed what they paid in carbon taxes.
• It's comprehensive. This is true of any carbon tax—even CAP's proposal. With a carbon tax, markets sort the entire economy based on carbon use, which spurs innovation. It doesn't just tax large, fixed stationary sources like cap and trade. It reaches into every nook and cranny of long, complex supply chains, and lets the market decide whether conservation, efficiency or alternative energy makes the most sense.
• It protects business from unfair domestic and international competition with border taxes and credits. If China and India don't play (by enacting comparable emission reductions systems) they pay the import fees. No need for treaties.
• It's capital neutral. Government should not try to pick (and risk "locking in") winning technologies. Let's not have arguments about hydrogen cars or Solyndras. CAP's proposal is dead-on-arrival with Republicans because it skims money for alternative energy favorites. You don't need to subsidize your favorites if you make the carbon tax actual reflect it's true costs—which are a lot more than $25/ton. And, without Republican support, we will never act big enough or fast enough to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. So, why not go with 100% revenue neutrality as your starting principle.
• It starts small. $10/ton is about 10-cents-a-gallon and a penny per kilowatt hour. That's fine to start. You don't need to shock the economy. You could even delay the implementation date a few years. The important thing is not the initial price—it's that it grows steadily and predictably—so that individuals, businesses and utilities can all see the handwriting on the wall. And, Wall Street won't lend money to utilities and businesses that don't get serious about how they're going to power their needs decades from now.
• It increases predictably until we hit our emission goals—that is—as dictated by the best science—which right now is an 80% reduction from 1990 levels. Businesses need predictable energy prices, not market fluctuations as with cap and trade permits.
• It's easy to administer at home and to copy abroad. That means impose the tax way upstream—one time–at the first point of sale—the mine head, wellhead or border crossing. Government already collects sales taxes from these businesses (and banks don't get to skim a fee like with tradable permits). It doesn't repeal, prevent or discourage any other private, state, regional, national or international strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with other taxes, tradable permits, regulations or subsidies to alternative fuels. And, it works in countries with widely different economies.
I basically agree, even though I can imagine a huge controversy about air-conditioners.
It might lead to policy on when something is taxed, not when it actually becomes a GHG.
For air conditioners, the coolant is theoretically reusable, yet some is lost to atmosphere when recycling a unit, and even more if the AC unit rusts away on a landfill.
I'd like to see carbon tax applied in three phases.
The first phase would be a carbon tax applied to extraction: coal, crude oil, natural gas, even if the extractor claims the material will be stockpiled and not sold immediately.
Second phase would be a carbon tax on industrial sales of material as well as their emissions. That means refineries, electric generation by coal, etc.
Third phase would be a carbon tax on small commercial 'retail' and household and personal use emissions. This point would pick up on embedded carbon costs in products or services that are imported from outside the US tax system.
Example would be the carbon footprint of a plastic item like a detergent or shampoo container that was stamped out in a mold operating on coal-fired electricity in a foreign country.
The three phases should add up like a VAT (value added tax), so no one taxpayer feels they are paying overmuch for someone else's decisions.
Places where residential populations depend nearly exclusively on coal-fired electricity or oil transport should be given the means to change their ways.
Overview of sources and users is available in a convenient graphic from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Estimated U.S. Energy Use in 2011: ~ 97.3 Quads
We'd have to work something else out for taxing other GHG emissions.
Basically, don't kill the economy while saving it.
A carbon tax system can steer the economy towards energy efficiency, and pick up other bonuses that might emerge along the way, like public transportation on safe bridges.
I agree with others that the revenues of a carbon tax could go into a general fund.
If carbon tax follows the history of the tobacco industry and cigarette taxes, then put the revenues towards an array of public works and services that reduce dependency on fossil fuels. That can scale from major public transport improvements to subsidized solar roofs on residences.

Personally, my main problem was figuring out how to carry the gun. At the time I was 21 years old back in 1996 when I got my permit. I had already purchased a Glock 19. By the time I paid for the class and fees I was broke. I saw all of these holsters in the gun store but I couldn't understand how the majority of them were meant to be used. Without seeing them actually in use, they just didn't make sense. I didn't know anyone else at the time who carried so I had nobody to ask for advice. And this was way before the time of digital cameras or youtube, so the internet was of little help.
So upon the (bad) advice of the clerk I ended up getting an Uncle Mike's holster for my Glock. It was like $12. I did work, though. For the first year, I carried it down the front of my pants as it was the only place I could seem to figure out how to make it work. But it was impossible to sit down with it there or it would crush into my abdomen. Then I figured out that I could wear it SOB so I did that for the next year or two. Of course, the holster would literally start coming apart and I'd need to buy another one every 3 or 4 months. It was very awkward to draw from SOB, and nearly impossible to get to if I was sitting down in the car, etc.
It wasn't until a few years after getting my permit that I met some other people who had permits and began to see how other people carried their firearms. Eventually, I began to collect some new holsters and learned how to use them. That changed my entire perception of concealed carry from something that was a pain (in various places) to do, to something that was much more comfortable and natural.
The other thing I learned just a few years ago is that there is no one specific gun that works in every situation. I eventually realized if I wanted to be successful in making sure I always carried every day, every set of clothes, no matter what, that I needed another gun. With the option of a smaller, deep-concealment gun, I was able to finally carry under any circumstance (except swimming) without having to make sacrifices in comfort or clothing options.

"This room is filled with talent. But we're young," veteran forward Matt Harpring said. "We're getting better. And, from the bottom of my heart, I think we're a better team than the Lakers are. They beat us, but I think we can beat any team in this league. And we did (in the regular season).
"I hope people realize how close we were," Harpring added. "I mean, Game 5 if we could have got that game, I think it changes the whole series around. And we were right there. I just think if we keep playing hard, we keep working, this team grows together yeah, we're going to be there."
Harpring, in fact, ends his sixth season in Utah feeling pretty positive.
"Step forward," he said. "I think the West was generally better this year, so there's a lot more competition out there."
For the Jazz to get to the next level, Harpring added, they need "consistent play, especially in the playoffs. Everyone's got to contribute and play well."
Boozer's scoring down five-plus points from the regular season, from 21.1 to 16.0 may be what the Jazz lacked most.
He didn't deny that Saturday, saying, "I don't think I had the playoff series that I wanted to have in either series."
If the Jazz are to move forward, Harpring suggested, adversity akin to that must be overcome.
"It's (about) being mentally tough to go out there and score," Harpring said. "You know, you might not be hitting every shot. But you've got to be mentally tough to take that next shot and not get the ball and not shoot it.
"That's a point where you've got to get to in the playoffs, because playoffs are tough to score. They scout you, they take away things, and they're going to make you do things you don't want to do. But if you start 1-for-4 and you hesitate on that next shot, you're just hurting your team. Because we expect you to make that shot and take that shot.
"I think that is the mental part that we're going to get to trust in your ability, trust in your confidence, trust in your offense, and play it out."
Ronnie Brewer's development. Andrei Kirilenko's improvement. Williams' tremendous growth.
For all that did go wrong, much about the season left the Jazz feeling all right.
"We have the makeup of a helluva team, a team that can win a championship and get to the Finals one day," Boozer said.
"You know, we have everything. It's just, like, a matter of 'keep our game.' Sometimes we kind of can't stick with the plan," Kirilenko added. "I think if we just play our game we can beat anybody and we can win the title. But it's only words right now."
Yet words to live by.
"This basketball team here has a good future, if they work at it and put their heart into it," Sloan said. "And we've done a lot of that. But it's, 'What did you do for me today?'
"Hopefully," he added, "we keep all these guys together and try it again."
There is, after all, more progress to be made, more games to be won."You'd like to take that giant step, but this is who we are," Sloan said. "You kind of have to do it in stages, and sometimes there's a lot of bitter with the sweet. We've got to try to keep working to keep that bitter taste out of our mouth."

While the sex is hardly prudish, including double penetrations, A2M and three guys on one girl, it seems dispassionate and over-choreographed at times — which makes it seem even weirder that we frequently see guys yanking their own chain while waiting their turn for the female performer's attentions.

Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie return to the old Rhode Island seaside town where they indulged in wicked mischief under the influence of the diabolical Darryl Van Horne. Darryl is gone, and their lovers of the time have aged or died, but enchantment remains in the familiar streets and scenery of the village, where they enjoyed their lusty primes as free and empowered women. And, among the local citizenry, there are still those who remember them, and wish them ill. How they cope with the lingering traces of their evil deeds, the shocks of a mysterious counterspell, and the advancing inroads of old age are at the heart of Updike's delightful, ominous sequel.--From publisher description.

Skip to comments.Krauthammer: Gingrich Isn't Bluffing About Going To The Convention
Posted on 01/31/2012 7:39:51 PM PST by GVnana
The panel discusses an interview with Newt one day prior to the Florida primary where Gingrich signals his intention to take the fight to the convention.
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
If Romney beat Newt by a landslide 14 points, Newt OBLITERATED Santorum by an embarassing 20 point spread after being attacked by Romney and the GOP-E for ten days. Rick is delusional.
well... even Reagan lost in 1976 to a moderate insider (Ford) but came back and swept it in 1980. Remember it was at the convention that Reagan made that amazing speech, and everyone suddenly realized that they had made an HUGE mistake by not backing him over the idiot Ford.
I would vote for Newt if he ran 3rd party.
Good. Make RINO heads explode.
I think our best chance is for all candidates to stay in through the convention (Romney can drop out, idc) and result in a brokered convention. I don't think Newt can handle Mitt 1-on-1 but with Santorum strong in the midwest and Paul in the caucuses we could still get Anyone But Romney.
Me, too.
Yes, rick is delusional. He could not carry his own home state against the dumbest man ever to run for political office. If Santorum were running for student council president, he might have a chance. But, pres of the United States? It ain't gonna happen. I sure wish he wuld pull out and let romny and Gingrich battle it out on an even field.
Yes, all the way to the convention! Would love nothing better than to see scores of Gingrich delegates booing the sh^t out of Romney lackeys in Tampa.
WHERE does Newt make a stand in February? Arizona is the end of the month; there's almost no debates.

good idea...newt 3rd party! [if necessary].
and Newt blasted past Romney with what 12.4% margin in SC. It ain't over. 46 more states to go. Go Newt!
Plus Romney's win percent is shrinking after starting 51-28, a 23 point win is down to 14 with 5 percent yet to report. I think they are holding that last 5 percent because Romneys final win will be down to 45-33 and not look so big in the end.
Check out the polls by state on the RCP page from this video.
Gingrich STILL LEADS ROMNEY in the national polls.
It's going to be a slugfest.
did ya see the guy on Hannity say Rubio isn't a NBC and Sean laughed at him? OMGoodness . . . Sean is such an idiot. He doesn't even know what a NBC is. I like Rubio but facts is facts. Even Rubio knows it. That is why he smiles politely when asked about VP spot.
Dems are playing this to the hilt. Supreme Court chastised the 3 judge panel. But they are still obstinate.
When we get to vote (155 delegates) Mitt will get creamed. He can forget about TX and OK. He Will NOT carry the South.
We just need to stress 3 key items:
Obamacare was drafted from Romneycare.
Romney is pro abortion and pro gun control.
George Soros likes Romney
Seems to me Romney went all in and blew 10% of his expected wallet. For one state? For one percent of the delegates?
Quick math for him to win majority delegates would be he needs to spend $1 per vote or there about.
Burn baby! You can only spend so much to get to yes and then you are bankrupt against Obama, who will be able to outspend you 5 or 6 to 1.
Good luck making that work.
From your lips to God's ears, Texas.
That ain't no landslide!
Before I saw the numbers they made it sound like 86% for Mitt.
46% is nothing when you consider early voters and money spent and lying media.
In a brokered convention that's exactly what we would get...generic ABR--some compromise acceptible to all the scum we've been fighting against for months now.
I thought the same....when I heard it...I said...NEWT got 32%!!!!
Don't count out Nevada, yet, please. We are not all mormons. We know just how racists the mormons are, we hear the N-word come out of their sanctimonious mouths without the slightest sense of shame, and we know the democrats are going to kill us with this institutionalized racism if we let romney be the nominee. It is sad that no one in the GOP is willing to be frank about mormon bigotry and racism. Do you know the mormon bishops believe they have authority over every single person living in their stakes? We (my family) live a few blocks away from one of their so-called chuches and I darn well don't want some busy-body mormon bishop thinking he has the authority to be sticking his nose into our affairs because we are conveniently close. So my family and I will definitely be at our caucus on Saturday. In the very mormon parts of our state, non-mormons really have few civil rights. Need to go to small claims court against a mormon in a mormon county, lots of luck to you, you are going to need it! Frankly, while it may not be about mormonism in other parts of the country, here where we know what we could all be facing, it is definitely part of the equation!
George Soros likes Romney!!!!
George Soros says Romney is almost the same as obama.
obama is the WORST President in American history!!!! So if Romney is "almost the same as obama", that doesn't speak very well of him, does it?
It probably is a long shot to happen, and even if it does it likely means a "compromise candidate" would emerge. Mitch Daniels would be my bet.
Not a good night for conservatives tonight I am afraid.
Does this sound dumb? I believe we should all go to the Convention, Thousands of us, We should let the RINO's know who own the party by being there. If the Occupy people get in our way step on them.
It's tim we real Conservative Republicans took back our party.

Then we can stampede in the convention, trample the Yacht Club snobs, toss the MSM Liars out on their ass, and draft Sarah.
'Twould be glorious -- a veritable Tea Party in a Beacon Hill double-parlor!
Hell, I'm not an NBC, either. My mother was still an alien national when I was born. And when my little sister was born, our mother had taken papers and been naturalized -- but sister was born on Canadian soil, so she was dual-citizenship until she turned 18 and began voting here in the States. But she's not NBC, either, as a result.
Both of us are patriots, but the facts are the facts. Neither of us is a "natural born citizen".
Neither are Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal. The 64 billion dollar question is, is Barky? I'm leaning, no. I think he was a dual for a long time -- or maybe didn't renaturalize as U.S. citizen when he returned from years in Jakarta as an Indonesian citizen under their law.
Mittens couldn't get to 50% even after blowing $17MILLION in one freaking State! IN A FLIPPING PRIMARY! Where he was already up by 20-points back in November. If I were Mittens, I would definitely NOT be celebrating!
Krauthammer praised Newt's concession speech tonight and said repeatedly it was the best one of the night. I was out and haven't seen it yet but the thing must have been absolutely amazing for Krauthammer to have been willing to admit it was the best of the night.
I hope that you all know that Mitt Romney used to BE a Mormon "bishop", and even worse—a Mormon stake president!!!!
Way back when I was growing up in Arizona, there were all those rumors about a "Mormon mafia" that backed Mormon businesses so that non-Mormons wouldn't stand a chance against them. Was the "Latin American money" that started Bain Capital actually Mexican Mormon money? I don't know, but it's worth checking out.
I wish that the Mormons would stop telling lies about the Church being "lost". If the rank-and-file Mormons knew even one iota about the Orthodox Church, they would shut up with that garbage.
Better yet, they might BECOME Orthodox in large numbers, thus solving your problems—and theirs!!!!
Since it's so very easy to find out about Orthodox Christian history etc., I imagine that the Mormon higher-ups know all about it, how it falsifies nearly everything about Mormonism, and are concealing it from their "flock". And the rank and file are kept so very busy with all the work it takes to be a Mormon (besides career and family life) that they don't have time to learn either.
I wonder why Romney's stance on the 2nd amendment hasnt been hammered by Newt?
Alright, what is an NBC?
Rick is splitting off part of the conservative vote as he auditions for Romney's VP slot.
Interesting. But I am so beyond conspiracy theories about Mormons! You don't have to believe in Mormon conspiracies to know that he's an absolutely HORRID candidate who cannot win against even the disaster known as 0BowMao!
Natural Born Citizen
My mother-in-law always joked about the local liquor store owner made more money selling to mormons out the back door, than he made through the font door.
But, this time, we don't have four more years to spare.
Even with Santorum as VP, Istill would not vote for him...there is no one for VP that could cause me to prostitute my vote.....
Newt may not be bluffing, but the bigger question is whether or not his contributors are going to be willing to finance him all the way to the convention. There are not many "Newt friendly" states this month, and after awhile the theme of inevitability is going to set in. Championed of course by the LSM and mitt.
People will vote for a losing candidate much faster than they'll contribute money to one.
"well... even Reagan lost in 1976 to a moderate insider (Ford) but came back and swept it in 1980"
Too bad the country will be completely destroyed in another 4 years. Mittwit doesn't even qualify as a conservative and hussein is sure to win this one if romney is his opposition. His negative campaign in buying Fla has turned off true conservatives and independents.
The idea that Romney will have the support of the base once the nomnation is clinched is delusional. He has a huge problem that he will have to address. There is no getting around it: Many, many right of center voters would rather see Obama win another term, than vote for another RINO.
Whether you believe the "Mormon Mafia" conspiracy theories or not (and I really don't know if they are true), the BASIC Mormon "conspiracy"/scandal re ignoring or concealing easily obtainable facts about the Orthodox Church—and for that matter, American Indian genetics—has got to be true!!!!
I didn't say that "I don't believe in Mormon conspiracy theories," I just stated that they are the least of my worries. I'm more concerned that MITTENS is a HORRIBLE candidate who claims to be "Republican"/"Conservative" yet he has NEVER shown ANY "Republican"/"Conservative" tendencies! All Hussein has to do is open the first debate saying: "I'm mmm mmm mmm Barack Hussein 0BowMao, and I would like to thank the Governor for passing the first individual mandate and the prototype for 0BowMaocare."
Game. Set. Match.
And yet, Mittens seems to be the choice of the establishment (no surprise there) and "Conservatives" who have voted in the Florida primary. We deserve the hell that we get if 0BowMao-lite gets elected! He will ***NEVER*** repeal 0BowMaocare!
As much as we appreciate your concern, remember Mitt got him a real BIG WALLET!
Those 55 FL delegates cost him let's see here, about$20 Million. That's only about $364,000 per delegate. Relax, he can buy them all at those rates.
Also remember, Mitt believes he will become a god on some planet or other. Maybe it's this planet.
The Mombasa MF is not a "Natural Born Citizen" because his daddy (or to be specific, the drunken wife-beater' left-wing Kenyan polygamist,and very poor driver he says was his daddy) was not an American citizen. That's all ... and that's enough.
the rest ... Indonesia ...Adoption ... Naturalization or Re-Naturalization, Hawaii, Vancouver, Seattle, Kenya, Birth Certificates forged or not, phony SS#, etc, etc. are all heinous crimes, if anyone cares to listen. But bottom line, they are just grist for the lawyer mills of
Team Obama's Operation Obfuscation:
Department of Misdirection, and Cunctatory Tactics .
You really interested in that stuff ... see Dr. Orly Taitz ... and get a good cleaning while you're at it. If Team Obama ain't paying her, they ought to be, because she has kept the main issue off the table, and just lately on her back burner.
Which has not in the least lessened my great love for her. Fine Dentist and a Good Looker!
But all will be forgiven, if you will take the Mormon Correspondence Course. I am sure that you will not only see the light, as if through magic spectacles, but Mitt will get you a deal on that trick underwear.

Hi everybody!
I'm very excited to reveal the cover for IN TIME - Book 2 of the Play On series. I hope you like it!
In Time is about Ruaridh (Rory), first introduced in In Touch, a Scottish fella determined to make good in rugby, but perhaps for all the wrong reasons. And maybe that's why something's just not clicking.
Grace is another blow-in to Traverse City from the south and not your typical southern belle. Lots of grit and a bit of a tomboy, Grace wants to be a Blues player. For the men's team. That might not happen but she's just as determined to get what she wants. And that's one Scottish fella sans the kilt.
Another opposites attract story full of rugby and sexy rugby players, a few laughs, and lots of love.
Estimated release is Spring 2016. I'd love to be able to give you a more definite date, but I'm behind in my NaNoWriMo. I work as a full-time editor so, like my kids, my authors seem to come first! But I can do this. Heave!
If you haven't read In Touch yet, get your ruck on, mate! :-) AMAZON

Hello all,
This is my first time installing WordPress and it appeared to install fine. I can log in to the WordPress dashboard and make changes to themes and everything else. The problem is I can't view the website. It comes up with the 1and1 default page. I thought it would take time for my site to be recognized by 1and1 but its been almost a week so I must've done something wrong. Maybe I have a setting wrong within my 1and1 control panel. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Editor: I wish to publicly say "thank you" to the person who found my credit card July 15 and turned it in, to the gas station attendant, who notified the St. Augustine police. An officer took it to the police station.
Realizing the card was not in my pocket, I returned to the gas station, looked around, asked if any one found it.
The young lady, had already given it to the officer. All I had to do was to go the station and claim it.
My deepest appreciation to all you wonderful folks. I know I will sleep better tonight because of your honesty.

A dish inspired by two favorite snacks is bound to score high on Super Bowl Sunday or any other hungry, nail-chewing game day.
Pizza and hot Buffalo chicken wings are the flavors borrowed for this easy combination dish, Honey-Hot Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Honey, tomato and hot pepper sauces mixed with shredded chicken team up in a tasty combination topped with crumbled blue cheese and celery.
No need to call out. With a few ingredients at hand, you can make the pizza at home in about 20 minutes.
Honey-Hot Buffalo Chicken Pizza
3/4 cup crushed tomatoes (thick puree, available canned)
1/4 cup honey
1 clove garlic, chopped finely
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce or to taste
1 cup diced or shredded, cooked chicken breast
10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 ounces blue cheese, finely crumbled (3/4 cup)
1/2 cup finely diced celery
In a small saucepan, combine crushed tomato with honey, garlic, oregano and hot pepper sauce. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Mix 1/4 cup tomato mixture with chicken; reserve.
Shape pizza dough according to package directions for thin-crusted pizza. Brush pizza shell with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread remaining sauce over dough. Scatter reserved chicken over sauce. Bake at 500 F until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle pizza with cheese, then celery. Cut pizza into 6 wedges.
Makes 6 servings.

Fighting encompasses many different things. If you had known how to defend the choke than perhaps he wouldn't have choked you out. Training or not, if he can take you down to the ground or clinch with you suddenly your boxing training is worth very very little. No reason to have an ego about who is superior and who is inferior. Better to focus on improving yourself than trying to justify someone "beating" you.
Fair enough point.
No excuses - once he had me down - I didnt really know how to defend his choke hold.
I dont have ground skills - this was many years ago and took me a bit by surprise how devestating a choke hold can be.
Up on my feet - who knows who was superior - but he grabbed a knife to defend himself once I got back on my feet - so he obviously werent that confident.

(though the profiler might help if different threads are running different functions ...which they probably aren't if you're doing web serving), note that "top -H" on linux should show individual threads and their load as far as the system is concerned. Once you have the kernel TID (not the same as the pthread id, BTW) of the offending thread (On linux, kernel TIDs are basicially just special PIDs, since threads are just special processes, it's found in the "PID" column in "top -H"), you "just" have to match it to the corresponding lisp thread... But I couldn't find it immediately visible anywhere in the sb-threads implementation*. So making threads do their own gettid syscall and stash the result somewhere is an (evil) option. ; 186 is the gettid syscall number for linux/amd64, see ; /usr/include/asm/unistd.h - they vary between ; linux ports to different archs (defun gettid () (sb-unix::int-syscall ("syscall" int) 186)) Note that because of >mumble, handwave< this probably won't work if you try to use sb-thread:interrupt-thread to interrupt an existing thread to run gettid. However, if you can arrange for the thread to call it itself in its normal execution flow it should work and return a number matching the "PID" column in "top -H" or the "LWP" column in "ps -eLf" output. (*Of course, kernel tids are considered an implementation detail at the glibc/pthread level and are not officially exposed by them...)
