Appalachian Mountain Advocates, Earthjustice and the Sierra Club released a poll yesterday showing that a majority of voters in West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia oppose mountaintop removal coal mining. The poll, conducted by Lake Research Partners and Bellwether Research & Consulting from July 25-28, found that 57% of Appalachian voters oppose mountaintop removal mining while just 20% support it. This echoes the results of a poll released last week by CNN which found that 57% of Americans nationwide oppose the controversial practice.
"The survey data turns conventional wisdom on its head," said Celinda Lake, president of Lake Research Associates. "Not only does it show Appalachian voters opposing mountaintop removal and by wide margins, it also underscores that voters in these states are now treating this as a voting issue, and promise to punish elected officials who weaken clean water and environmental regulations on mountaintop removal." Here's a chart of the findings:
The opposition to mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia isn't limited to one political party. As the chart below shows, majorities of Democrats, Republicans and Independents oppose MTR mining:
In addition to opposing mountaintop removal mining, the Appalachian voters who were polled also expressed bipartisan support for strengthening clean water laws. "Fully three-fourths (75%) of Republican voters, and 68% of Tea Party supporters, in this survey support increasing Clean Water Act protections from Mountaintop Removal coal mining," said Christine Matthews, president of Bellwether Research & Consulting.
Appalachian Voices published the chart below, which shows that a plurality of voters in all four states polled oppose MTR:
Joe Lovett, Executive Director of Appalachia Mountain Advocates, offers this summary of the poll's findings:
Elected representatives in Appalachia are out of touch with their constituents. The people of Appalachian want to be protected from mountaintop removal mining. They want environmental regulations enforced. But in Congress and statehouses, officials protect special interests instead, working to gut the Clean Water Act instead of enforcing it and strengthening it.
Virginia blogger Lowell Feld spoke with Jane Branham of the Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards in Virginia, who shared some additional context:
First, only a tiny percentage of people (11%) in "coal country" are employed directly in the coal economy. Second, mountaintop removal coal mining, in addition to harming peoples' health (she said "it's literally killing people," and she's absolutely correct on that) and the environment, actually destroys jobs, as it's a highly mechanized (capital intensive) form of mining that requires few human beings to run. Finally, what's particularly disturbing is how afraid people are, despite their opposition to this barbaric practice, to speak out. That's due to the intimidation of the coal companies and its allies, in a wide variety of ways - economic and otherwise.
Question wording and data on the poll is available here (PDF) and here (PDF).

I bet the majority are also
I bet the majority are also opposed to poverty. Shutting down coal in West Virginia would mean more poverty in a state that is poor to start with. Its a tough choice to make but in the end people will choose industry and economy and that means they are stuck with coal.
Mountain top removal actually
Mountain top removal actually decreases the number of coal mining jobs, saving the mining company money, while increasing unemployment.
Programs to retrain mining workers and future workers in new clean energy industries can help alleviate the job problem. This could be combined with incentives for companies to set up shop there.
Worrying about coal mining jobs, which is a solvable problem and local, as an excuse not to solve global warming makes no sense.
I would imagine that the people in Appalachia are also fond of their mountain home and would prefer that it not be turned into a wasteland.

"I bet the majority are also opposed to poverty. Shutting down coal in West Virginia would mean more poverty in a state that is poor to start with."
Same argument as back in the time of the whaling industry.
1) You will destroy jobs
2) Why do you want to destroy my livelihood? I have kids to feed.
3) You are anti business
4) The alternatives are not better
5) There is no evidence of a problem
The fossil fuel industry in the grand scheme of things is a small employer. Greentech can employ far more people.
Right on Phil
'The fossil fuel industry in the grand scheme of things is a small employer.'
And supported by those with small minds just like the first commenter to this topic, who, I would not be surprised is the same person who has made a silly post here:
All those who denigrate climate models should read that topic too, as well as some literature that describes how such models are created, run and analysed.

PhilM does it again! He
PhilM does it again! He provides a reference that says nothing close to his point. BTW, what was his point? Just to be argumentative?
His long list of BLS stats/predictions cover all jobs in the US for the period 2008-2018, but supports no specific point.
Searching the BLS site we get this: "Employment in the oil and gas well drilling industry accounted for 63,012 jobs in September 2009, which is the most recent period available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program."
Looking at his own provided stats we get this: "Mining………………………………… 717 (2008)
Again searching the BLS site we get this mining information for July 2011. 212.7K employed.
Finally, searching the BLS site again for refinery/pumping employment we find total employment is: 42,850.
That leaves the retail side of of the oil/gas/mining still to be determined. This is not quite so clearly defined, but what is found in Phil's reference is this:
Gasoline stations………… Retail trade…. 843
Support activities for mining…. Mining… 328
So from the US BLS we have (63,012 + 717, 212,700 + 42,850) = 1,203,558 In the production industries. And (843 + 328) retail/support 1,171,000
A close estimate then is ~ 2,374,558 of 2008 total US employment of 150,932,000 or ~ 1.57% of 2008 total US employment.
See PhilM, that's how analysis is done, ans supports the point of what percentage of US labor force works in the production and retail delivery of energy raw resources.
Even though these numbers are probably low, they do provide some US employment breakdown analysis. They do not just throw numbers against the wall in hopes something sticks supporting an ideology. C'mon PhillM you can do better.
A2, you know, I really like
A2, you know, I really like debating you. Because for starters, you falsify information which is so easily debunked. Secondly your not a big picture guy, so you cannot see beyond your compartment & thirdly, you just miss the fine details.And quattro, you just get it wrong sooo consistently.
Now, unlike your impersonating mate & yourself, I provide links/references/citation. You guys bring to the table…..opinion. And like denier scientists, you don't get off your arse & conduct any research yourself…..you just criticize others work.
"He provides a reference that says nothing close to his point. BTW, what was his point? Just to be argumentative?"
We were talking about employment A2. Your name impersonating mate that you consent to, bought up the employment figures with NO reference & I pointed out that he was wrong. You then chimed in with your powers of ignorance with:
"His long list of BLS stats/predictions cover all jobs in the US for the period 2008-2018, but supports no specific point."
Errr, the point is, that the mining sector employs stuff all people let alone the fossil fuel sector on it's own.
"Searching the BLS site we get this: "Employment in the oil and gas well drilling industry accounted for 63,012 jobs in September 2009"
Sooo, even less than my figure? Good one A2, lol.
"Looking at his own provided stats we get this: "Mining………………………………… 717 (2008)"
Errr, well for starters, they are not MY figures. They are the bureau of statistics. And secondly, your attention to detail failed you again, because the most crucial bit was "Table 2. Employment by major industry sector, 1998, 2008, and projected 2018 (In thousands)"
In thousands means there was 717,000 people, lol. But hey, I'm willing to work with your 62,012 figure. You also provide no references, because they are not on the page I supplied.
"but what is found in Phil's reference is this:
Gasoline stations………… Retail trade…. 843
Support activities for mining…. Mining… 328"
This is my favourite of your own goals A2.
If you have a look at what they talk about there, it is:
"Table 4. The 10 industries with the largest wage and salary employment declines, 2008-18 (1)
(In thousands)"
Which means both gas station workers & mining workers were in the top 10 of wage & salary decreases, haha! By the way, if you want to take into account things like gas station workers, lets look at the offset to that, by taking into account the thousands required to clean up fossil fuel mess, the cost in damages to our planet & the people it employs to now come up with low carbon economies.
"Even though these numbers are probably low,"
Glad we both agree & it backs what I initially stated : "The fossil fuel industry in the grand scheme of things is a small employer. Greentech can employ far more people."
"C'mon PhillM you can do better."
Thanks for the support, here's more:
An independent study conducted by the Brookings institute ( Exxon is a funder) found :
"that jobs associated with producing fossil fuel based energy,
derivative products, and machinery make up roughly one percent of the
U.S. economy. If one adds distribution, gas stations, fuel transportation,
and wholesalers—peripheral activities excluded from the clean economy
estimates—the fossil fuel economy still employs only 1.8 percent of U.S.
workers or 2.4 million workers. A 2009 report from Pricewaterhouse
Coopers estimated that the number of jobs directly involved in the
fossil fuel industry was 2.1 million; that report was commissioned by
the American Petroleum Institute."
Ouch. Whereas the cleantech sector employs 2.7 Million.
"The clean economy, which employs some 2.7 million
workers, encompasses a signifi cant number of jobs
in establishments spread across a diverse group of
Note: Notice how I post references, *hint*.
You will see they used the same site as I did as part of their analysis.
Hint 2….you guys provide no references.

PhilM continues on his crap
PhilM continues on his crap throwing crusade. Maybe, with some luck, he will got something to stick. it's doubtful though.
PhilM claims that he: "I pointed out that he was wrong. " But the closest thing I could find was this: "The fossil fuel industry in the grand scheme of things is a small employer. Greentech can employ far more people." He then provides the entirety of a BLS jobs table. No where in that table was there a reference to "GREENTECH" jobs. Which is why I decided to use his own reference and table to show actual numbers for anon's job category.
Do you get it yet? If you are going to make a point re: "GREENTECH" jobs then use a reference that also provides data for the same term.
BTW, I did not use a reference as I just used your own. Did you want me to repeat it?
Finally, you make a great point of finding some jobs in the ~2.1 to ~2.4M range to support "GREENTECH" industries versus anon's 2.99% of population. (You can do the math!)
So if anon provides a reference, we will see just how wrong you were all along. Even if he does not, I have shown how poorly researched and ideological is you commentary.
You did better with you response to me, but you still are missing the target. You can do better still.
A2......AGAIN, you provide
A2……AGAIN, you provide opinion & no reference to back up your claim. Nor does your name impersonating mate whose work you consent to.
"No where in that table was there a reference to "GREENTECH" jobs."
Greentech & cleantech interchangeable :
"Environmental technology (abbreviated as envirotech) or green technology (abbreviated as greentech) or clean technology (abbreviated as cleantech) is the application of the environmental science and green chemistry to conserve the natural environment and resources, and to curb the negative impacts of human involvement. Sustainable development is the core of environmental technologies."
Pedantic semantics A2.
"BTW, I did not use a reference as I just used your own."
The bit where gas station & mining employee wages were on the decline? No, it was sad enough the first time.
"You did better with you response to me, but you still are missing the target. You can do better still."
I know. I'm a bit embarrassed to say this….but the fossil fuel industry actually created the cleantech jobs. The damage the fossil fuel industries have caused isn't commendable, but they served us well for the past hundred years or so & we can move on to sustainable energy now & stop burning shit to create energy.
So for the 2.7 Million people employed in the USA alone by cleantech, I'm sure they say thank you to the fossil fuel industry.
My grandchildren will most likely say "you burned things to create energy?!But there is energy all around you, Ahahahah! How dumb….just like neanderthals…..fire! Amazing"

PhilM, so let me get this
PhilM, so let me get this straight. You copied a complete BLS table of data in your Fri, 2011-08-19 06:36 comment to support this claim of yours: "The fossil fuel industry in the grand scheme of things is a small employer. Greentech can employ far more people." It supposedly refuted anon's numeric claims: "In the US, the oil and gas industry alone provides 9.2 million jobs, directly and indirectly, and accounts for 7.5% of GDP.. I then pointed out using your own data: ""No where in that table was there a reference to 'GREENTECH" jobs."
Aft3er that you go off on a "spinning" Trying to refute your own copied BLS data table. In the end you finally googled some supporting references that actually provided data for you "Greentech" jobs. Well done. That should have been your first step.
Throughout that latter exchange you comment about no references, but why is a reference needed for direct copies of your own supplied BLS data table?
Your a strange, illogical, ideologically driven bird, PhilspaceM. (pronounced filluhm.)
""No where in that table was

Actually, it WAS my first step. That's why i knew what I was talking about & clearly you did not. Nice try though.
"Throughout that latter exchange you comment about no references, but why is a reference needed for direct copies of your own supplied BLS data table?"
If you are going to use my links, at least post the exact quote, instead of paraphrasing it to denier palates. You are all opinion. Virtually all your posts are opinion.

FilluhM, liberal ideas and
FilluhM, liberal ideas and policies have been on parade for several generations, and the most recent attempts, Global Warming, Anthropogenic and otherwise Catastrophic are now known to be exaggerated. We can add to that the "Green Jobs" "Green/CleanTech" jobs as abject failures.
We do not need to point to Spain anymore. We, in the US have for three years tried our own "Green Jobs" experiment, and the analysis is being done. Read this article: Feeding The Masses On Unicorn Ribs
http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/wrm/2011/08/19/feeding-the-masses-on-unicorn-ribs/ (Look FilluhM a link!)
In it we find: "Besides healing the planet and returning the rising seas to their natural beds, then-Senator Obama promised that his administration would create beautiful green jobs: well paid, stable, abundant jobs, unionized, with full benefits and making the earth healthier and the American people richer. As President, he stayed on message: even after the truther-enabling "green jobs czar" Van Jones left the administration, green jobs have been one of the President's signature policies for putting the American people back to work."
and this analogy:
"Many liberals want green jobs to exist so badly that they don't fully grasp how otherworldly and ineffectual this advocacy makes the President look to unemployed meat packers and truck drivers.
Let me put it this way. A GOP candidate might feel a need to please creationist voters and say a few nice things about intelligent design. That is politics as usual; it gins up the base and drive the opposition insane with fury and rage. No harm, really, and no foul.
But if that same politician then proposed to base federal health policy on a hunt for the historical Garden of Eden so that we could replace Medicare by feeding old people on fruit from the Tree of Life, he would have gone from quackery-as-usual to raving incompetence. True, the Tree of Life approach polls well in GOP focus groups: no cuts to Medicare benefits, massive tax savings, no death panels, Biblical values on display. Its only flaw is that there won't be any magic free fruit that lets us live forever, and sooner or later people will notice that and be unhappy."

Phwooooarh!!! 3 Years ! An incredible feat of effort! The fossil fuel industry has had 100 years to establish & it only employs 2.1 M people. In 3 years green jobs have produced 2.7 M jobs? Are you a salesman for the benefits of cleantech? And it's only just got started.

Professor Linda M. Beale Appointed Director of Wayne Law LL.M. Program
DETROIT (June 22, 2008) –Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce the appointment of Associate Professor Linda M. Beale as Director of Graduate Studies.
"On behalf of the Law School, I would like to congratulate Professor Beale on her appointment and thank her for undertaking another pivotal role at Wayne Law," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "Professor Beale's commitment to the success of this Law School and her dedication to providing students with the best opportunities possible make her an ideal candidate to lead our LL.M. program."
As Director of Graduate Studies, Professor Beale is now responsible for overseeing a significant resource for practicing lawyers in Michigan – a program that provides advanced study in three popular fields of specialization including corporate and finance law, labor and employment law, and taxation. She will also continue in the classroom, teaching courses in partnership and income taxation.
Professor Beale received a B.S. degree in chemistry magna cum laude from Duke University, an M.A. and Ph.D. in linguistics from Cornell, where she was a Herbert Lehman Fellow, a J.D. summa cum laude from Cornell Law School, and an LL.M. in taxation from New York University.
Prior to her entry in law teaching, Professor Beale clerked with Judge Dorothy Nelson on the Ninth Circuit and worked at Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton in New York as a tax associate. Her work with Cleary's many financial institution and multinational corporate clients included a wide range of tax issues such as securitizations, partnerships, and cross-border corporate mergers and acquisitions. She has also served as a congressional staffer, a Peace Corps volunteer in Colombia, and a university administrator at Binghamton University.
Professor Beale's scholarship has focused on various aspects of corporate tax shelters, proposing more transparent financial reporting of aggressive tax transactions and higher standards for taxpayers and tax advisers as a means of discouraging the tax minimization norm that facilitates aggressive tax positions. Her scholarship can be accessed through SSRN at http://ssrn.com/author=83521.
She also maintains a blog, www.ataxingmatter.us, dedicated to discussion of tax and budgetary matters in the context of the demands of democratic egalitarianism.
Professor Beale succeeds Professor Peter Henning, who graciously filled in as Director since Professor Stephen Calkins' departure for the Provost's Office in January 2008.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne Law students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

Gåafstand til shopping, seværdigheder, strand med mere...
The appartment was well suited for Our need - 3 bedrooms and 3 Bath rooms for 6 girlfriends. The double in one of the rooms was very narrow, but the other beds were all right. The apartment's location in the old part of Palma was very Nice. It was a quiet area With no traffic noice. The negative part was that there was no list. With Heavy suitcases this was a chellenge. But we managed and enjoyed Our stay.
We were surprised that we had to pay a deposit of Euro 250 in cash when the rent was paid upfront. That was a New experience. I have recently rented a house in Floride which I paid upfront, and no depositum was needed. The house I rented was not through Windu.
We were in November 14. fourth a couple of days in the nice apartment and have felt very comfortable. Transfer worked well, was very friendly. The area is great, lots of nice restaurants, very centrally located.
The apartment was very well equipped, very clean.
3rd floor without lift with suitcases a bit of a challenge, but that makes it so only once.
Can thoroughly recommend, we would stay here again!
Wir waren im November 14 zu viert ein paar Tage in der netten Wohnung und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Übergabe hat gut funktioniert, war sehr freundlich. Die Gegend ist toll, viele nette Lokale, ganz zentral gelegen.
Die Wohnung war sehr gut ausgestattet, ganz sauber.
3. Stock ohne Lift ist mit den Koffern eine kleine Herausforderung, aber das macht man ja nur einmal.
Kann man uneingeschränkt empfehlen, wir würden wieder hier wohnen!
Spacious App. right in the center of Palma. All highlights just a few meters. Completely renovated, valuable furnishings, new bathrooms and flooring. good food, good beds, everything you need in absolute proximity.
Very nice owner. Thank Salvador
General Note: the old town of Palma is very beautiful, but authentically> that is, the streets are narrow, (only car rental, difficult to find parking) The houses are relatively high> that is climbing stairs and the light is limited.
Geräumiges App. im absoluten Zentrum von Palma. Alle Highlights nur wenige Meter entfernt. Völlig neu renoviert , wertvoll eingerichtet, neue Bäder und Fußboden. gute Küche, gute Betten, alles was man braucht in absoluter Nähe.
Sehr netter Vermieter. Danke Salvador
Allgemein ist zu beachten: die Altstadt von Palma ist sehr schön, aber authentisch >das heißt die Gassen sind schmal, (Auto nur mieten, Parkplatz schwierig zu finden ) Die Häuser sind relativ hoch > das heißt Treppensteigen und der Lichteinfall ist eingeschränkt.
The location of the apartment is perfect, right in the center but still quiet (if not the lead tenant in the ground floor loud conversations in the courtyard). The apartment is on the 3rd Stock without Fahrstuhl.Alle major attractions are within walking distance, the area has numerous bars and restaurants.
The accommodation is very spacious, tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished with dishwasher, washing machine, iron, high speed internet, etc. The delivery and collection at the end proceeded correctly and on time, on top of that we got good tips for going out, luggage storage etc.
A very pleasant stay!
Die Lage des Apartments ist optimal- mitten in der Altstadt,aber dennoch ruhig ( wenn nicht gerade die Mieter im Erdgeschoss laute Unterhaltungen im Innenhof führen) . Die Wohnung ist im 3. Stock ohne Fahrstuhl.Alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen, in der Umgebung gibt es unzählige Bars und Restaurants.
Die Unterkunft ist sehr geräumig, geschmackvoll ausgestattet und komfortabel mit Geschirrspülmaschine, Waschmaschine, Bügeleisen, schnellem Internet usw. Die Übergabe und Abgabe am Ende verliefen korrekt und pünktlich, obendrein bekamen wir gute Tips zum Ausgehen, zur Gepäckaufbewahrung usw.
Eine sehr angenehme Unterkunft !
Very nice apartment, very well located and very nice for a holiday with family or friends. Prepare to give a cash deposit on arrival, something that is not always specified. To advise.

The abuse of prescription drugs has become an increasing epidemic across Oregon. In the last ten years, there has been a 450 percent increase in the number of deaths from prescription drug overdoses. Currently, there are more deaths per year from prescription drug overdoses than there are from automobile accidents.
In August, the National Governor's Association gave a grant to the Governor's office to develop a statewide plan to address this epidemic.

Well....I am a die hard reggae music fan (insert pothead joke here) ,and tonight in Brooklyn I had the unbelievable opportunity to see Toots & The Maytals perform at Brooklyn Bowl, and then got to be on the tour bus post-show for some celebration. I am a die-hard Sublime fan as you all know from my avatar and sig, but this was like the Mecca for me. Meeting Toots Hibbert and getting to sing "54-46" with him completes my life to 99.9% now. Just gloating if anyone cares
p.s. Why do photos from your iPhone always turn everyone's eyes bright white? I know it's similar to red eye but it's really annoying!

Article By Giuseppe Sanna
Anyone who knows the world Linux will surely heard of Ubuntu. A distribution that has done so much for Linux and the Open Source world itself! In fact, thanks to the hard work of Canonical, Ubuntu is one of the first user-friendly distributions that have brought many people in the Linux world. Especially those most skeptical!
But if Ubuntu is a distribution that has done so much in the past, now we must curb our enthusiasm. In fact, for some time now, this same distribution is becoming a lot more criticized by veterans of the Linux world.
According to these, in fact, the distribution of Canonical is becoming more and more into a sort of Windows operating system. Of course, always free, but very similar for both choices regarding the publicity of the Operating system that the choices for the operating system itself. If these choices, however, are much discussed at the same time they are having a big success ! And for this reason that doubts arise and that the same Canonical is criticized by the loyal fans of the penguin! Continue reading »

I have been asked recently by someone in marketing if I would be interested in selling my ironwork through some select stores that offer artisanal work.
Sounded great till I realized they want it for 50% less than my retail.
I said no way, I'm not a machine and my work is made one piece at a time.
May as well give it away for 50% off retail.
So, I'm taking the same approach with beekeeping.
Last year an organic food vendor in a local farmers market and a stand-alone semi-large produce stand ask to carry our honey. Both of these places are in my area but far enough apart that they won't compete.
I've been reading through the many threads on wholesale honey and am just not finding answers.
I'm not looking for a price from any of you to set for our honey but rather what criteria do you use when setting your own prices?
Are there a minimum number of cases for a store to purchase?
Do you cut your retail pricing in half to get the wholesale price?
Or do you reduce the retail pricing by a certain percentage?

So, it is a general knowledge that the first virgin to emerge will kill the rest of the unhatched virgins. I have 2 questions about that.
1. Does the virgin queen do the deed herself, or does she mark queen cell to be destroyed by the workers. I believe I read somewhere in Dolittle or Smith that the did not do the actual killing.
2. If we remove queen cells into the incubator without workers, can the killing spree be prevented?

Oh my: Boos at convention as Dems reinstate language on God and Jerusalem in platform; Update: Obama pushed for language to be added; Update: Or did he? Update: Will MSNBC cover?
posted at 6:01 pm on September 5, 2012 by Allahpundit
The amazing conclusion to yesterday's snafu involving the Democratic platform's language on Israel. After an evening of bad press they decided to reinsert the language about Jerusalem being the capital of Israel, along with some language about God after people noticed that the phrase "God-given" in the 2008 platform had been dropped in the new one. Simple process, in theory: Have someone from the floor propose adding the new language, then let the delegates approve it via a voice vote. The result? A trainwreck so awful that even Paul Begala didn't try to spin it.
As you'll see, Villaraigosa's astonishment that there are so many nays is palpable, and pure gold. Reporters were taken aback too:
wow RT @byrontau: Talk about bad optics. RT @timodc: Widespread boos for Jerusalem and God in the convention hall
— Jon Ward (@jonward11) September 5, 2012
As were some delegates:
A California delegate just told me she screamed "yes" on the platform vote and found the loud no votes on Israel "disturbing"
— Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) September 5, 2012
To my ear it's hard to tell which side had the better of it, but a few people on the scene said there was little doubt:
"It seemed pretty clear to me that the 'No's' had it." – CNN's Dana Bash
— Matt Lewis (@mattklewis) September 5, 2012
@buzzfeedandrew from NY delegation it sounded more than 2/3 opposed
— Alex Yudelson (@AlexYudelson) September 5, 2012
Mollie Hemingway's right that the boos at the end are ambiguous. Some people might be booing the language added to the platform, others are likely booing the procedural sham by which Villaraigosa railroaded this through even though there obviously wasn't two-thirds support for the amendment. (John Boehner and the RNC railroaded their own delegates just last week.) The takeaway, though, for attack-ad purposes isn't the boos but the degree of opposition to adding the language in the first place. In a few years, they'll quietly omit it without a second thought. Be who you are, guys.
Update: Let the damage control begin:
A Democratic source emails: " The President personally interveaned to strengthen the language. "
— Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) September 5, 2012
That's the second time in 24 hours that Obama's been forced to disclaim responsibility for some terribly counterproductive messaging at the convention. Weird how the rank-and-file have these crazy ideas that he in no way shares, isn't it?
Update: Noah Pollak asks a good question:
How can Obama have "intervened" to recognize Jerusalem in DNC platform when policy of his administration is against recognition?
— Noah Pollak (@NoahPollak) September 5, 2012
July 2012:
Update: Via DrewM, I'm amazed to see that the left's biggest site apparently is going all-in on the side of the nays. The banner headline at HuffPo tonight:
Update: Politico's Dylan Byers is watching the cable nets for reaction. As of 7:05 ET:
In today's edition of "choose your own adventure" news, the amount of times the word "Jerusalem" was mentioned on each channel between 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. today:
Fox News: 33 times
CNN: 16 times
MSNBC: 0 times
Update: Byers updates to say that MSNBC finally got around to mentioning the Jerusalem language in the Democrats' platform in the 7 p.m. hour tonight.

text: My chunck honey sugars prematurely. I pride myself on raw (unheated) honey. However, when I add that to a chunck of honey in a jar it's sugared within a month. I've tried freezing the chuncks and only adding liquid honey when I'm ready to sell but still there's a short shelf life. Is there a solution? Do most folks heat the liquid honey?

The Last Windrow: The price of a deer hunting license
I just returned from our local hardware store after purchasing my 2013 Minnesota deer hunting license. I got under the deadline wire of purchasing my license with the opportunity of a chance at receiving a lottery doe license. Not that I might actually receive such a license, but life is a gamble and so is deer hunting.
The cost of this year's Minnesota deer hunting resident license is $31. That's a long way from the day when we paid $12 or $15 or $21 or maybe nothing for a deer license. But, times change and costs of raising a whitetail to maturity must have gone up and I feel no remorse for paying $31 for this permit to enter the woods with no guarantee of ever seeing a deer.
Really, the price of a deer hunting license is really puny by today's standards. You can't get into a Vikings game for much less than $100 if you want to sit anywhere near the second tier of seats. You can't get into seeing the sinking Twins for much less than $30 in the upper deck where you might actually witness the Twins winning a game.
Really, a deer hunting license is cheaper by far when you equate the other possibilities.
I was figuring the other day that in my deer hunting zone, we are allowed to pursue a whitetail for a total of 16 days. Two weekends and the days in between. That equates to only $1.93 a day for the pleasure of freezing your behind to a deer stand during daylight hours in hopes that something other than a pileated woodpecker will saunter by your place in the woods.
If you break it down further you might add the time you spend purchasing rifle shells, sighting in your rifle, purchasing food for your hunting buddies and putting gas in the four-wheel drive pickup, and that all adds up to substantially more than what you paid for your license. If you have to rent land to hunt on, well, cry on my shoulder. You're in hock.
So, as I look back on that day a week ago when I pulled a $50 bill out of my billfold and plunked it down on that hardware store counter to purchase my 2013 deer license, that license was the least of the costs of the hunt.
If I do indeed shoot a deer, include the processing, time spent filleting the meat off the bone, freezer paper and add the electricity required to freeze my venison, the $31 pales in comparison. It is not cheap to shoot a deer these days.
And, as I sit here writing this column, three mature does are standing 50 yards in front of my house, grazing on fallen acorns. They seem amazingly calm for being so close to a deer rifle. Do they not know that this human being staring out his picture window at them had tenderloin on his mind? If they did, they would not be standing there munching on the bitter fruits of the oak tree.
But, I have my $31 license and I'm in hopes of securing a doe permit. My wife has put the wrench on me about putting venison in her depleted freezer space. This has become a quest. I will willingly put my frozen pants on the deer stand seat and sit there gazing over an empty forest landscape for untold hours, waiting for the sound of a deer's hoofbeats coming my way down the trail.
This is not an easy or cheap job. The price paid for the license is far less than the price paid in human endeavor.
See you next time. Okay?

6 Areas to Address to Access Health-Care Business
Hospitals have critical challenges that can be solved via access control. Meet this market's needs by keeping facilities safe while also boosting the value provalue proposition by enhancing convenience and efficiencies.
By Ann Geissler Timme · July 17, 2014
Designing, installing and maintaining the openings in a health-care facility are no simple tasks. Whether it is meeting Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidelines, assuring patients and staff safety or securing sensitive areas, hospital facility managers and security professionals are being forced to re-examine their access control procedures and systems.
By providing medical facility managers with tools to making their centers more secure in a more convenient manner, security systems integrators can increase their sales to health-care organizations. Highlighting the following six areas will help integrators secure increased business.
1. Emphasize Standardization
Consolidation is a huge trend for hospitals and health-care systems as they look for ways to cut costs and run more efficiently. Standardizing on solutions from a single provider will ensure that medical health-care facility managers have more control over their openings. Standardization provides more efficiency during installation and maintenance activities and ensures smoother performance of the selected electronic access control and electrified door hardware. In addition, standardization creates a more streamlined purchasing process that rewards hospitals with increased productivity
Another thing that can add efficiencies and value for both the integrator and hospital is the choice of open-architecture devices. If an access control system is already in place, but does not control all of the openings required to be effective, there are a number of open-architecture solutions that are compatible with most legacy systems. This enables easily integrating with the existing access system to increase the security on more openings in the facility.
Security professionals in health-care applications can choose the specific electronic lock they need currently with full confidence the reader or communication technology can be later upgraded without ever taking it off the door. Such applications often use locking systems that combine the electrified lock, reader, door position and REX switches together into one device. These electronic locks provide options to truly customize the access control solution, quickly migrate to meet future needs, provide seamless integration with current software now and later, and have a lower cost of ownership.
2. Get Smart With Credentials
Today, a smart credential, at about the same price as a proximity card, provides a higher level of security, more convenience and far greater functionality. Used at health-care centers, smart credentials have the ability to manage access, payments and many other functions much more securely.
In comparison to door keys, magnetic stripe cards or proximity cards, the encrypted security of smart credentials ensures that they are far harder to counterfeit. It is not possible to put a dollar amount on the potential damage a health-care organization could suffer by unauthorized individuals gaining access to restricted areas of the facility. By issuing the staff ID cards with strong authentication mechanisms, health-care providers are effectively investing in their well being.
Issuing only one smart credential also impacts administrative costs. Not only is the cost of a single credential lower than purchasing multiple forms of ID, but the reduced management and distribution time for one credential will have a significant impact on productivity.
Choosing the right smart card credential can make all the difference when trying to use them with applications other than access control. Look for platforms that are open format rather than those designed for proprietary systems. Open formats allow easy integration into other applications with minimal programming, speeding up the time of deployment, reducing the cost of implementation and giving health-care organizations more freedom to get the most out of their investment.

Some beef sticks and jerky are high in protein and don't raise your level of insulin—a hormone that signals your body to store fat. Consider eating Ostrim Meat Jerkee which is only 60 calories and has 10 whole grams of protein per stick! That makes an ideal between-meals snack, especially when you're trying to lose weight.

By Leonora Cohen and Gregory Sampson-Gruener
As states suffer through budget crises due to the lingering effects of the recession, school districts continue to be faced with a host of difficult choices, not the least of which is the value we place on our teachers.
Eight years after a funding crisis forced half of Oregon's school districts to take drastic measures, including cutting up to 17 days from the instructional calendar to balance budgets, they are being forced to do so again. Days are being cut, teachers and support staff are facing layoffs and furloughs, class sizes are increasing, and schools are being closed.
Public education advocates have a responsibility to show how inadequate funding affects people on the inside -- the teachers. School board members, policymakers, and communities should carefully consider the perspective of insiders -- a perspective that has not been described in research literature.
During the 2002-03 budget crisis, we talked with more than 400 principals, teachers, parents, and students to show how schools were affected. We sought perceptions from teachers about job satisfaction, working conditions, and the impact on students and staff. From this, we have developed recommendations for school board members and education leaders who face similar circumstances.
The lessons from Oregon are hard. No doubt, they extend to other states and school districts as well. But we can learn a lot from them.

Reviews of this property
We stayed there for 6 nights and everything was perfect from the begining. Landa was beautiful and helpful!! The room and bathroom were extremly clean and the views are simply breath taking!! Highly recommend the experience, top!
We stayed here for 9 days around New Years Eve and we were really excited. The room is exactly as per description. Serran and Landa are very friendly and kind hosts, we felt very welcome.
The view from the window is breathetaking and a lot of interesting things you want to see in the city is just a short walk away.
The appartment is very clean and it has all you need.
We would stay there again, always.
Thank you
We found the flat was really nice and clean, the room had everything we needed (iron, hairdryer, body lotion ...) the bed very comfortable and a stunning view !
The location was just great, round the corner of the 5th Avenue and the Empire State Building ! and our host was very nice ! I can only recommend this address in the heart of Manhattan !
My daughter (14) and I (50) had a great time in New York having been stayed in this marvelous room. The view from the window (24th floor!) over rooftops and to some sky scrapers is beautiful - every day. Located at the foot of the Empire State Building it is perfect to start sight seeing in Mid Town. Subway stations are well reachable, too.
The room is small, but provides everything you need for accommodation and little breakfast in the morning. The whole apartment is extraordinarily clean, including bathroom and kitchen to be shared. The bed is absolutely comfortable. Staying in this room is the best alternative to a hotel, or even better because there is less moving by other guests. It is quiet and relaxing at night and you enjoy complete independence from the host. All instructions needed are provided in time. Absolutely highly recommended for city visit!
Everything tiptop OK, one of the best beds I ever slept on in my life, room with a view and Empire State Building around the corner. Our mobile telephone did not work properly, no problem, she gave us one of hers with the number written on a piece of paper.
In one word Hospitality, hospitality. Thank you ! We'll surely see each other again once.
If you only need a place to rest and sleep, there is probably not a better situated place than this throughout Manhatten. It is extremely clean, and you do not need to look into a brick wall, when you stay in the apartment.
The host is incredibly helpful.
We can highly recommend the apartment.
Best Regards
Kirsten & Ove
I suggest this room reservation to people who want to visit Manhattan. The room is wide, the bathroom is always clean and the owner is very nice.
One minute walking to Empire State Building.
Simply the Best!
