One question thought...how can I allow the logged-in user's name to be shown with their submitted content?
All I see in the options page is "Assigned Author".
I use another plugin to restrict the asses to the submission page to registered user only, but their username doesn't show-up with the post as the author.

Just a simple question.
I designed a way to put a simple drop down menu in a Word Press Theme. Word Press lacks a simple easy dropdown menu for pages.
See my site for a sample of my dropdown.
I was thinking of releasing a free plugin but I want to automate it. I know how to insert it in the code, but most people do not. Right now, people would have to insert the code manually into the header area. Adding in CSS and Javascript links in the header.
I tried an add_filter command
add_filter(get_header, my_function)
where I hoped to use a
str_replace('</head>', ' ... link codes ... </head>', $text)
to add in the CSS and Javascript links
but then I realized that add filter works for info in the database.
get_header() seems ONLY be a dolled up include statement, in which case I am out of luck.
Quick Question: Is the calling up of the header something which can be amended by and add_filter function or is it a straight include or require function, in which case, I am forced to release the plugin as a manual plugin?
This could mean the difference between a nice plugin everyone can use or a plugin available only to nerds.
Again, here is the plugin in action ON TWO sites I did.

Savage Love Letter of the Day: Soft Serve
I had this issue when I was younger. The first time with a woman, I had a hard time performing. The more I was into her the worse it was. I called it "performance anxiety" and it went over pretty well. I made sure my partners were taken care of, and usually it was reciprocated and after a couple tries I was able to respond. Now I just pop a cialis, but after 30 years of marriage, I don't see too many new faces in bed.

Elysian Brewing CEO on Anheuser-Busch Sale: "They Want Us to Create More Cool Shit."
as of last year there were over 2700 breweries in the US and over 200 of those were in Washington State. This is the way for InBev to start squeezing out the independent brewers. The privatization of the alcohol distribution industry has already hurt the small brewer. InBev can force anyone who carries bud (and face it, lots of folks want it) will need to carry their "specialty" brands. It take up tap space and it takes up shelf space. We will see a contraction of choice. We have been spoiled by the choice of good beer in just about every establishment around the Seattle, Portland area. Even the dive bars have at least a couple good taps. When I travel I realize just how good we have it. When you allow a major brewer/bottler/distributer to corner that much of the market that they have shown historically that they want to strangle competition, it doesn't end well.

Sounders Beat Galaxy, Also Lose to Galaxy, Also Still Part of Galaxy
what a huge bummer last night. After being in the finals for 20 minutes we lost it. And after freezing our butts off too.
It was a great season and we have a core that could continue into next year too. It will be sad to not have Yedlin but I think we can adjust. Lamar is showing signs of greatness between his bouts of awfulness. If we can pick up anther midfielder who can feed Dempsey and Oba we should be good to go.
And to those that find soccer boring, you obviously don't understand the game so just go away and stop showing us your ignorance.

The bagpipes represent Celtic heritage like few things can. A rich part of our history, the Reno Celtic Celebration enjoys hosting pipe bands and solo pipers.
Pipe Band Competition
The Reno Celtic Celebration, in conjunction with the Western United States Pipe Band Association, is conducting a FULL PIPE BAND Competition for our 25th games!
Western United States Pipe Band Association Main Website
If you (your band) are a member of the Association, registration can be completed here:
Western Nevada Pipe Band Association Reno Celtic Event Registration
Here are the competing groups for our inaugural piping competition:
Jefferson Pipe Band
The Jefferson Pipe Band is the premier pipe band in the extreme Northern California/Southern Oregon region. Their members come from the Redding, California and Medford, Oregon areas and their name refers to the name of the State that almost was. Their mission is to promote the music of the Great Highland Bagpipe through performances in parades, at concerts, weddings, funerals, memorial services and other special occasions throughout "The State of Jefferson". Their Pipe Majors are Becky Saraceno and Bob Skinner and their Drum Sergeants are Molly Skinner and Bryan Jeffs.
City of Sacramento Pipe Band
The City of Sacramento Pipe Band was formed in the Fall of 1989 by Liz Tubbs and the late Clutch Sutton. The band has been competing successfully since 1990 in grades III, IV, and V. The band is currently competing in Grades IV and V and has over 40 playing members. Children and adults are welcome to become a part of this non-profit educational group. Please contact Liz Tubbs for information on piping and drumming instruction, http://www.sacramentopipeband.org. Although the Band's main focus is competing at Scottish Games and Festivals, large and small groups perform throughout Northern California for many different events. The Band relies solely on (tax deductible) donations, performances, competitions, and the generous time and commitment from its members and their families.
Utah Pipe Band
The Utah Pipe Band was formed in 1957 by Robert S. Barclay, and is still under the direction of the Barclay family today. They are the oldest continuously organized Scottish bagpipe band in the Western United States. The band competed in major pipe band competitions throughout the Western United States and played for Coca Cola's 100th Anniversary in Atlanta, Georgia and the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. They have a troupe of award winning highland dancers who travel and perform with them. Members of the band come from Northern Utah.
Solo Piping Competition
The solo piping competition will occur on the morning of Saturday, October 5, 2013. Registration begins at 9:00am and competition begins at 9:30am. The competition is sanctioned by the Western United States Bag Pipping Association (WUSBPA).
There are three categories available for solo piping :

Lysostaphin: A Staphylococcal Bacteriolysin with Potential Clinical Applications
AbstractLysostaphin is an antimicrobial agent belonging to a major class of antimicrobial peptides and proteins known as the bacteriocins. Bacteriocins are bacterial antimicrobial peptides which generally exhibit bactericidal activity against other bacteria. Bacteriocin production is a self-protection mechanism that helps the microorganisms to survive in their natural habitats. Bacteriocins are currently distributed into three main classes. Staphylococcins are bacteriocins produced by staphylococci, which are Gram-positive bacteria of medical and veterinary importance. Lysostaphin is the only class III staphylococcin described so far. It exhibits a high degree of antistaphylococcal bacteriolytic activity, being inactive against bacteria of all other genera. Infections caused by staphylococci continue to be a problem worldwide not only in healthcare environments but also in the community, requiring effective measures for controlling their spread. Since lysostaphin kills human and animal staphylococcal pathogens, it has potential biotechnological applications in the treatment of staphylococcal infections. In vitro and in vivo studies performed with lysostaphin have shown that this staphylococcin has potential to be used, solely or in combination with other antibacterial agents, to prevent or treat bacterial staphylococcal infectious diseases.

I have been using 3.2.1 up until last week, when I started a fresh 3.3.1 install on a new domain. Now I suddenly have a collection of bugs that I can't solve:
- The visual editor shows invisible text, white-on-white, that can only be made visible by Ctl-A to mark all text.
- I lost the ability to embed an image in a page. The "upload/insert" button is shown but nothing happens and no pop-up appears. The upload works okay from the Media section but not while editing a page.
- The visual editor does not show its toolbar of controls and options.
- The editor is stuck on the HTML tab; I can't switch to the visual editor tab.
Things I've tried
- worked through all the solutions suggested in 'Troubleshooting WordPress 3.1 - Master List'
- recopied all original WordPress 3.3.1 files (this was a fresh install but hey it doesn't hurt)
- deactivated and deleted all plugin files and folders
- switched to Twenty Ten (and then Twenty Eleven) theme
- went to Users > Your profile > Visual Editor and tried both settings for 'Disable the visual editor when writing'
- cleared cache, cookies and history
- tried different browsers (firefox 10, chrome 17, internet explorer 9) on my main computer
- tried a different computer (firefox, chrome)
- visited http://www.mysite.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.php and looked for PHP errors or warnings (none found)
- Added define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); near the top of wp-config.php. This seems to help -- what does it do??? (And don't just say that it stops concatenating scripts.)
I've searched the forums and found similar constellations of symptoms but nothing much recent, and only the slower non-concatenated scripts has had the slightest effect for me. But this is only masking a deeper problem.
Should I delete this project's database and create a new one?
Now my client's project is a week behind and 3.3.1 is still nearly dead in the water.

Gaza protesters appeal
By Jennifer Lipman, July 13, 2010
Protesters outside the Israeli embassy in June
A group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators who attacked a coffee shop outside the Israeli embassy are appealing against their sentences.
The ten protesters were among more than 78 people charged following a demonstration against Israel's invasion of Gaza.
Their lawyers are expected to argue that the "deterrent" sentences, some of up to two and a half years and most for violent disorder, were inappropriate.
Police intervened and arrested more than 100 people after the crowd threw stones and bottles.
A picket has been organised at the Court of Appeals in solidarity with the protesters by groups including Stop the War Coalition, British Muslim Initiative and Palestine Forum of Britain.

Developing Leaders in the Facebook Age
CLO Magazine
Thanks to the proliferation of technology-fueled information, effective leaders need to be able to connect with people in multiple, real and personal ways. For instance, because of the proliferation of technology, leaders have access to more information today than ever before. However, that does not mean they are better informed. One of a modern leader's main responsibilities is to sift through the massive amounts of information that bombard him or her daily to get to what is truly important, what is trite and what requires immediate attention.

Micro-Learning: Its Role in Formal, Informal and Incidental Learning

Wikipedia With the rise of social and informal learning, and ubiquitous mobile devices (tablets, phablets, smartphones and everything in between), micro-learning as a concept and practice has taken off. Typically, micro-learning or learning bytes or learning capsules work well as a component of informal learning where the learner pulls what they need to solve an immediate problem. Thus, micro-learning can play a crucial role in both formally designed performance support as well as in informal learning, with the latter focusing on user-generated content.

Integrated Learnings
Do you have a similar story of unstructured, experiential, informal learning? Jay Cross, known for his informal learning research, tells us that approximately 80% of workplace learning occurs informally. In contrast, only 20% of organizations' learning budgets go toward enhancing informal learning. And can eLearning become part of an investment in informal learning? But, if eLearning is just one part of an informal learning experience, then learners will probably experience those events through other means. By Shelley A. Gable. How might this work?

Impact of informal learning: output learning #LCBQ
Challenge to Learn
The question of the month #LCBQ is: How do you assess whether your informal learning, social learning, continuous learning and performance support initiatives have the desired impact or if they achieve the desired results? Therefore if we want to measure the impact of learning (formal or informal) we need to measure that impact. How do you measure it? So this is an excellent question.

More facebook
George Siemens
One of the best descriptions of facebook that I've seen (on a blog comment somewhere) was: CIA+McDonald's=Facebook. This formula addresses the secret and intrusive aspect of Facebook…and draws attention to broad appeal and exceptional ease of use/access. Google should be worried (I address the challenge briefly in this post a few months ago: LMS vs. SNS ) – basically, Google has bet heavily on content, Facebook has bet heavily on connections/relationships. They are no more or less powerful than any other 3rd-party widget.
The Death of the Traditional Web: Implications for Self-Directed Learning
Social Learning
Within that shrinking slice of online time, Facebook is increasingly the portal for everything. Search engines, once the gatekeepers to the Web, are giving way to Facebook. This means information will, by default, need to be increasingly bite sized. Hence the importance of Facebook and Twitter: people can passively wait for recommendations on what they need to know.
Facebook – WE are the product
Adventures in Corporate Education
Here's a question for you: if you are on Facebook (and over 500 million of us are), do you consider yourself to be one of Facebook's customers? (I'll give you a second to ponder this question……………………). If you said yes, I am a Facebook customer – well I hate to break this to you but you aren't. Facebook's customers are the businesses that pay for those targeted ads we see in the right-hand column of the Facebook interface. How is Facebook so good at targeting those ads?

Red Velvet Crepes with Raspberry & Sweet Cream Cheese Filling
With raspberry preserves, a kicked up sweet cream cheese filling with Nutella drizzled over top make these crepes a real treat any day!
These Red Velvet Crepes will satisfy a multitude of cravings with raspberry preserves and a kicked up sweet cream cheese filling to the Nutella drizzled over top! A perfect treat for Valentines Day.
I'm a big fan of chocolate, so there's no questioning my love for red velvet………it's a given. So, a week ago when I was making red velvet pancakes, it occurred to me how delicious red velvet crepes might be!
I was first turned on to making crepes when Jeffrey Saad made Nutella Crepes for us in Napa with Bush's Beans a while back.
So I decided to use the same recipe and turn it into red velvet!
I used my KitchenAid blender (which I LOOVE!) to mix up all of the ingredients until they are nice and foamy, then Jeffrey says the key to great crepes is to let the batter sit, refrigerated, for about an hour before cooking.
I had some cream cheese topping left over from the pancakes, so I tossed some in a decorator bag and used a jumbo french decorating tip to pipe over a little Smucker's Raspberry Preserves. – oh my word was that a good combo!
*you don't have to be fancy though, you could just spoon the filling, or place some in a plastic baggy, snip the tip off and pipe filling over preserves (no decorator tip needed)
I then just folded both sides over, put them on a plate, melted a little Nutella in the microwave and drizzled over the top. You could do the same with chocolate or even chocolate syrup if you want.
These were AMAZING! You could taste the red velvet perfectly, the sweet cream cheese filling was not overly sweet, the raspberry preserves gave each bite an unexpected surprise and the Nutella just pushed it over the top.
As rich as they may look and sound, I have to say, they weren't that overly disgusting rich at all. They would make a beautiful Valentines Day breakfast severed with some fruit or served as a dessert.
These Red Velvet crepes will satisfy a multitude of cravings with raspberry preserves and a kicked up sweet cream cheese filling to the Nutella drizzled over top.

- Add flour and cocoa powder and pulse until smooth. Let the batter sit for an hour.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Filling by mixing all filling ingredients with mixer until well combined and smooth, set aside.
- After batter sits for one hour, heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook until the top loses its gloss, which should only take a minute, then flip. The bottom should be golden. Cook the other side for about 15 seconds and then slide out onto a plate.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- Prepare crepes by spreading a one inch wide strip of raspberry preserves down center of crepe, then top with cream cheese filling.
- Fold each side of crepe over filling and plate.
- Melt Nutella in microwave for about 30 seconds and drizzle over crepes.

Quick GuideExercise & Fitness: The 7 Most Effective Exercises
Will interval training help me burn more calories and more fat?
Yes it will. Intervals improve your aerobic fitness level significantly, and when that happens, you're able to do more work and burn more calories (given the same amount of time and/or distance). For instance, say you can only run on the treadmill at 6 mph. In 30 minutes at that speed, and if you weigh 150 pounds, you'll run 3 miles and burn 300 calories (100 calories per mile for a 150-pound person). However, if you're more fit and can run at 6.5 mph, then in 30 minutes, you'll run 3.25 miles and burn more calories. And as a bonus, you'll burn more fat as a result of your improved fitness. Keep in mind that intervals are tough and could potentially increase your appetite. If that happens, I suggest that you drink lots of water when you do them, and that you have a snack with carbs and protein (and a little fat is OK) 20-30 minutes before you train. Energy bars or something like a bagel with peanut butter are good choices. Snacking before a workout usually decreases appetite afterward. You can also experiment with a small snack after your workout.
Will interval training help me lose weight?
The key to weight loss is to burn more calories than you consume. Intervals contribute to weight loss because they make you fitter, which allows you to work out harder and longer and burn more fat and more calories. But don't forget that you must burn more calories than you consume to lose weight even with intervals.
Is circuit training an interval-training workout?
Circuit training is where you spend 30-45 seconds at one weightlifting machine, or a station with dumbbells or a resistance exercise like crunches, and then move quickly to the next station. It's a great aerobic and resistance exercise workout in one, and yes, it is interval training because during the switch from one exercise station to another your heart rate will drop and then increase once you start working again at the next station. It won't work as well as dedicated running or cycling intervals to increase endurance and recovery, but it will tone and strengthen muscles, particularly in the upper body, and that's a benefit you don't typically get with intervals.

By JOHN ROCKWELL
Published: February 13, 1987
When do classical-music radio stations broadcast a lot more than just mainstream classical music? When they're WNYC, the venturesome public-radio station at 93.9 on your FM dial, and especially when they're WNYC in the midst of an annual American Music Festival week.
The station, which offers both National Public Radio and American Public Radio services and boasts that it's the most-listened-to public-radio station in the country, ordinarily devotes about two-thirds of its considerable music programming to 20th-century music, most but not all of it classical.
But for the American Music Festival, all the music is American, most of it is modern, and a larger-than-normal proportion branches out into the areas of mainstream as well as vanguard jazz, show tunes, New Age and country-folk music.
That means you can hear a lively long weekend of music no farther away than your own radio. But the festival will come to a climax on Monday, when the station presents its annual Americathon - seven hours of live music and interviews at the New School Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street (see box for schedule). Events Are Free
There will be a different composer interviewed each half-hour - the hosts are Nancy Shear and John Schaefer - followed by a mini-concert of the subject's music. The 13 composers range from established Pulitzer-Prize winners like George Perle, Elliott Carter and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich to experimentalists like Pauline Oliveros, Robert Moran and Lois V. Vierk to the Minimalist Steve Reich to jazz-influenced composers like Amina Claudine Myers and Julius Hemphill. The events are free to the public and will be broadcast live or offered on tape via satellite to public-radio stations around the country.
Before this grand finale, WNYC will broadcast nearly every sort of American music short of rock-and-roll (although its exclusion, given the growing amount of noncommercial rock being composed and performed these days, seems questionable). There will be everything from the classics of American composition of the 18th and 19th centuries to every sort of 20th-century art music, lighter selections from Sousa to Sondheim, vernacular music from jazz to country, and meditative exercises from ''downtown'' experimental music to New Age.
Highlights of the weekend's broadcast schedule include music composed in America by Kurt Weill and by composers influenced by him, a regular mid-afternoon series all week on the Noon Around New York program that ends today; a three-hour jazz special this afternoon at 2 with the composer-saxophonist David Murray; a two-hour program devoted to the songs of Ned Rorem tonight at 8; a three-hour taped program tomorrow at 11 A.M. of music by Americans who studied with Nadia Boulanger in Paris between the World Wars; an hour of old-time country music Sunday at 7 P.M., and 90 minutes of percussion music from the Kitchen, the Manhattan avant-garde emporium, Sunday night at 9:30.
The American Music Festival was first presented in 1940, as a celebration of American music between Lincoln's and Washington's Birthdays. But it didn't really become institutionalized until 1981, when the station began its modern-music policy.
That policy reached an apogee in 1983, when over 80 percent of its music was new or newish. That degree of extremism provoked a decline in the listenership along with vituperative protests. By late that year, the proportion of 20th-century compositions had been scaled back to between 60 and 65 percent, according to Mary Perot Nichols, director of the entire WNYC operation (AM and FM radio and the UHF television station Channel 31). But by then the American Music Festival and the Americathon concert, which was first presented in 1983, had become a tradition - ''an identifier for the station,'' in the words of Ruth Dreier, the FM music director for the last seven months. New Policy Succeeding
According to Ms. Nichols and Ms. Dreier, the modern-music policy as it is now has won back lost listeners. Ms. Nichols said the growth of the FM station's audience was slow but steady and perceptible. WQXR and WNCN still top the classical-radio charts in New York, with an accumulated listenership of about 5 percent of the populace each. But WNYC is a strong third, with around 3 percent.
''We could get more listeners if we played more popular music,'' Ms. Nichols conceded. ''But I've always said our mission is tread where no others dare to tread.''
Ms. Dreier added that the station was attempting to encourage the widespread overlapping between music genres these days, sometimes inelegantly known as ''fusion'' music.
''We try to put all our music into new contexts, surprising contexts, not the little boxes you normally find music in,'' said the music director, who earned a master's degree in cello performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music with a specialty in the avant-garde before moving to New York four years ago and writing freelance about music.
''We broadcast Eurocentric classical music in a large city with a mixed ethnic basis, and we're trying to respond to those communities,'' Ms. Dreier went on. ''I think we're still a long way from doing that well. I don't want to be known as the music director of a station that ignores serious musical traditions that need to be presented on radio.''
Perhaps there's progress to be made, before WNYC-FM truly and fairly represents the full range of musical traditions here. But compared to its competition, the music it presents is already admirably diverse. On the air or in person Monday at the New School, interested listeners can get a hint of just how stimulating all that diversity can be.

The victory over the visiting A's tied the best-of-five series at 2-2 and set up a do-or-die showdown in Oakland on Thursday with the winner advancing to the AL Championship Series.
Detroit overcame a 3-0 deficit with a three-run home run in the fifth inning by Jhonny Peralta, and then came back from 4-3 down in the seventh on a home run by Victor Martinez and a broken bat RBI single by Austin Jackson that put them ahead 5-4.
But the Tigers looked set to fall behind once again in the eighth as Game One starter Max Scherzer, pitching in relief, found himself mired in a bases-loaded, no-out jam.
Scherzer, who would be credited with the win, struck out Josh Reddick and Stephen Vogt, then retired pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo on a line out to center to protect the one-run lead and send the nervous Comerica Park fans into delirium.
The Tigers added three runs in the bottom of the eighth for some much-needed breathing room but Oakland still had some fight left and scored a pair of runs in the ninth on a single by Yoenis Cespedes.
Detroit's Joaquin Benoit then struck out potential tying run Seth Smith for the final out to seal the win.

Groton - A long-pending lawsuit against the town over the hiking trails appearing on private property seems to be inching closer to trial.
The focus of the suit is a series of trails on private property off Route 117 that property owners claim were cleared by the town sometime around 2005, and link to trails used for walking and mountain biking on the 240-acre, town-owned Copp family property.
While the town admits there was no clear boundary line separating private from town property in the area in question, Groton denies it had anything to do with clearing the trails or creating maps indicating there were trails on private land. The town points to evidence that a network of trails has existed in the area since the late 1970s and outside groups created the maps.
Michael Haines, who purchased his North Road property in 2001 and is a plaintiff in the case, said it was 2006 when he noticed missing swaths of mountain laurel and small trees, painted trail markers and wooden trail signs pointing to the cave and natural arch on his property. The trail markers extend onto the Copp property, he said.
"Who created the Copp property trails? Was it marauding band of trail builders?" Haines asked. "This was a concerted effort and quite a large operation. The trail on my property goes through wetlands in the middle of my property in a big oval, cutting down trees and vegetation.
"The town's position is, somebody anonymous did it. They take no responsibility for it," Haines said. "The funny part about it is a large portion of it is on the Copp property. They haven't done anything about it. Why hasn't the town investigated this?"
Haines, along with North Road homeowners Edward Conroy and Bouthanom Senphansiry, filed suit against the town in 2009 claiming it was the town's Parks and Recreation Department that got carried away.
They claim $250,000 in damages.
Attorney James Tallberg, who is representing the town, said he could not discuss details of the case while the suit is pending.
"The town vigorously denies these groundless claims, and we look forward to our day in court," he said.
To back his allegations against the town, Haines hired a land surveyor to confirm the trail was on private property. He also hired KB Analytical, which performed an analysis on the paint on trees and confirmed a match to the paint on town property.
Conroy said his wife purchased the property in 2006 and has been frustrated by the lack of action by the town to address his concerns.
"My first concern was liability. There's a 40-foot sheer drop off back there," Conroy said. "We were hoping it wouldn't go this far. They just don't want to own up to it."
Conroy said the town offered $10,000 to each property owner in a pre-trial mediation session to settle the case, but the property owners did not accept the offer. Conroy said they each have spent more than that fighting the case.
The property owners are now without a lawyer. Attorney Renee Houle recently dropped out of the case. Conroy said she was uncomfortable taking the case forward without an eyewitness.
A representative from the town's Parks and Recreation Department could not be reached for comment Thursday. The next court date is a pretrial conference scheduled for April 26.

The evaluataion was paid in the understanding there would be qualified buyers presented. The first of the "managers" assigned to this sale botched the listing completely but there were still two contacts, neither of which had any idea of what my company did but were looking to buy a business in the state. Neither were interested after finding out what we actually did.
A few months later, a second "manager" contacted me to get in touch with another buyer, who told me they were never interested in my company to begin with. Now, this is not what I would have expected anyone to call a "qualified buyer" since that iomplies someone who not only has the means to purchase but the desire to buy that type of business.
Of course, at the end of the year contract I received a letter indicating they had introduced a "qualified buyer" to me even though the contacts had no interest in this type of business and one case not in this part of the state.
It seems I was taken for the proverbial ride ... but not alone from the indications here.
If there is anything I can do to assist anyone in getting this corrected I will be more than happy to assist.
One of the services I perform through my company is as an expert witness for the US EPA through the DOJ. This is not within their normal operations but I have asked for a "friendly" reference to someone who might be interested in the interstate nature of this scam.

Propane Vehicles
Related Information
Propane, also known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or propane autogas, is considered an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992. According to the Propane Education and Research Council, there are more than 143,000 on-road propane vehicles in the United States. Many are used in fleet applications, such as school buses, shuttles, and police vehicles.
The availability of new light- and medium-duty propane vehicles has surged in recent years, especially for fleet use. Propane vehicles can either be from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or conversions. Engines and fueling systems are also available for heavy-duty vehicles, such as street sweepers and school buses, including some prep-ready engines from OEMs, which are included in equipment packages with components that allow conventional vehicles to run on propane.
Types of Propane Vehicles
Propane vehicles have been widely used and refined for decades. There are two types of propane vehicles: dedicated and bi-fuel. Dedicated propane vehicles are designed to run only on propane, while bi-fuel propane vehicles have two separate fueling systems that enable the vehicle to use either propane or gasoline.
A propane vehicle's power, acceleration, and cruising speed are similar to those of conventionally fueled vehicles. The driving range for dedicated and bi-fuel vehicles is also comparable. Extra storage tanks can increase range, but the tank size and additional weight affect payload capacity.
The potential for lower maintenance costs are one reason behind propane's popularity for use in light- and medium-duty vehicles, such as trucks and taxis, and for heavy-duty vehicles, such as school buses. Propane's low carbon and low oil contamination characteristics may result in longer engine life. Propane performs well in cold weather climates because the fuel's mixture (propane and air) is completely gaseous. This factor allows propane-powered vehicles to avoid many cold-start issues associated with using liquid fuels.
Compared to vehicles fueled with conventional diesel and gasoline, propane vehicles can produce lower amounts of harmful tailpipe emissions, depending on vehicle type, age, and drive cycle.
Propane vehicles are similar to their gasoline counterparts with regard to power, acceleration, cruising speed, and driving range. Bi-fuel vehicles include a secondary fuel system and fuel supply, giv¬ing them a much greater range than dedicated propane or gasoline vehicles have. Likewise, larger storage tanks can increase range, but the additional weight displaces payload capacity. Because a gallon of propane has 27% less energy than a gallon of gasoline, the fuel economy of propane vehicles is slightly lower. However, propane has a higher octane rating than gasoline (104-112 compared to 87-92 for gaso¬line), and some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) offer dedicated engines optimized to take advantage of this higher rating. This can result in improved performance and fuel economy over non-optimized engines.
How Propane Vehicles Work
Propane vehicles operate much like gasoline vehicles with spark-ignited engines. There are two types of propane fuel-injection systems available: vapor and liquid injection. In both types, propane is stored as a liquid in a relatively low-pressure tank (about 150 pounds per square inch). In vapor-injected systems, liquid propane travels along a fuel line into the engine compartment. The supply of propane to the engine is controlled by a regulator or vaporizer, which converts the liquid propane to a vapor. Liquid propane injection engines do not vaporize the propane and allow more precise control of the fuel delivery, resulting in improved engine performance and efficiency.

The Palestinian village of Khirbet Susiya has existed in the South Hebron Hills at least since the 1830s. Its residents have traditionally earned a living from shepherding and growing olive trees. In 1983, the Israeli settlement of Susiya was established near the village, on Palestinian land that had been declared state land by Israel. In 1986, about 25 families were living in Khirbet Susiya, in caves and structures. That year, the Civil Administration declared the village's land an "archeological site"; the land was confiscated "for public purposes" and the Israeli military expelled its residents from their homes. Having no other option, the families relocated to other caves in the area and to flimsy wood frame shelters and tents … Continue reading

Demonstrations marked three years since the first demolition in the Bedouin village of Al Araqib in the Naqab desert. Because of the "unrecognized" status of the village, demolitions have continued. The Prawer Plan proposes to remove Bedouin citizens of Israel from their homes and push them into planned communities, which policy makers claim will improve their lives. However, Bedouin communities are protesting in an effort to protect their indigenous ways of life. They do not wish … Continue reading
