The Associated Press
HAZARD, Ky. Kentucky state police say a 15-year veteran has been placed on administrative leave after shooting and killing a suspect who had pointed a gun at him.
Trooper Tony Watts, spokesman for state police post 13 in Hazard, says Trooper Ben McCray was conducting a welfare check in the Jackhorn community of Letcher County when the shooting occurred.
Watts says in a news release that when McCray went to the home of Terry Wayne Taulbee on Friday, Taulbee displayed a weapon, approached the trooper and refused to comply with a demand to put down the weapon.
Watts says when the suspect raised the weapon in the direction of McCray, McCray fired. Taulbee was pronounced dead at the scene by the Letcher County coroner.
McCray was not injured. The incident is under investigation.
Not much information. Hazard, KY is fairly close to WV so it made our newspaper. Good that the Trooper was uninjured.

Suicide by trooper? If so, what a burden for the trooper to unfairly have to assume.
Hazard, Ky. is deep in the coal mining area, and those folks can be a little different. Let's say, I'm not planning my vacation there.

UPDATE 3-Coca-Cola warns of bigger hit on revenue from strong dollar
* Dollar to lower 2015 rev by 7 percentage points
* 3rd-qtr revenue $11.43 bln vs est. $11.54 bln
* Shares fall about 1 pct (Adds analyst quote, context)
By Anjali Athavaley and Sruthi Ramakrishnan
Oct 21 (Reuters) - Coca-Cola Co reported a bigger-than-expected drop in quarterly sales due to a strong dollar, and the company said it expected the currency to hurt its full-year revenue more than previously anticipated.
The soda maker, which gets more than half of its total revenue from markets outside North America, said a strong dollar would lower its full-year revenue by 7 percentage points compared with 6 percentage points estimated earlier.
The dollar has risen 12 percent against a basket of major currencies in the past year.
Coke has called 2015 a transition year as it tries to cut costs and boost sales by raising prices and diversifying into beverages beyond soft drinks such as cold-pressed juices and energy drinks. The company has said that it is targeting $3 billion in annual cost savings by 2019.
It is also selling back its North American bottling operations to franchisees in a move to reduce low-margin assets on its balance sheet. The company said on Wednesday it signed letters of intent with three U.S. bottlers to expand distribution areas in seven states. Continued...

The Knowhow
If you subscribe to a cable TV or a satellite TV service, or have a dish for Freesat, you won't need an aerial. However If you want to keep or switch to Freeview, you will still need some kind of aerial. The type you need depends on where you live and the transmitter that serves your area.
If you're new to Freeview, it's important first to make sure that you are in an area where you can pick up Freeview coverage. You can check the channels you can watch on Freeview by inserting your postcode here: http://www.freeview.co.uk/
Why is an aerial still needed?
Television signal strength can vary in different parts of the country from city to rural depending on where transmitters are located as well as physical surroundings that might obstruct a signal.
Out of the 50 total Freeview channels, around 15 of these are ones that we pay a TV licence fee for. The rest are commercial channels that may or may not have invested to extend their reach past local relay transmitters.
If you live in an area that doesn't get all of the Freeview channels, you may also need a stronger type of aerial.
If you have not accessed Freeview before, you will need to purchase Freeview equipment or a television that comes with Freeview integrated to decode the signals. Set top boxes are the least expensive way to go digital as you don't have to buy a new TV or pay for a subscription.
If you've already been watching analogue TV with an aerial that works well, you probably won't need to buy a new aerial to watch free TV on Freeview as long as your equipment has been converted to receive digital.
If you're still unsure about whether or not you need to upgrade your aerial, you can check the Digital UK website for more detailed information here: Digital UK Aerial Checker
What kind of aerials are there?
Integrated Tuners:
New digital TVs often have tuner for Freeview built in. If you're looking to buy a new digital TV, it's well worth looking in to those with an integrated tuner to avoid the need for an additional set-top box. If you live very close to the source of the digital signal you may be able to use a set-top or integrated aerial.
Set top box aerials:
These indoor aerials sit on top of or beside your television where signals are strong enough to overcome antenna shortcomings. Cost is not necessarily an indicator of quality and some models come with built in amplifiers to boost available signals.
Sometimes these amplifiers can also amplify unwanted interferance or noise as well as the signal so if you've put up with a snowy picture at times due to your location, now might be a good time to consider another kind of aerial.
Outdoor aerials:
These metal aerials are installed on the outside on a building to pick up the best signal. Generally, the higher the antenna is placed and the more metal it has the better it will pick up the weaker signals. Sometimes higher buildings, hills, poor weather conditions or thick trees might weaken the signal but in most cases a usable service will still be available.
For aesthetic reasons, antennas designed for rooftop use can sometimes be installed in your loft, although this can decrease reception.
Using a rooftop aerial is often more reliable for Freeview TVs and boxes. If your current aerial is working well, it's unlikely that you will need a new one unless your current one is getting rusty with age, has become damaged, or is still not getting all the new channels.
If you think you might need to replace your rooftop aerial, find a Registered Digital Installer (RDI) who has been trained and security checked rather than installing it yourself. The Knowhow team will install, set up and tune your Freeview set top box and aerial. Just click here to find out how: KNOWHOW Aerial Installation
The good thing is, thanks to the digital switchover, many more homes have now been added Freeview's coverage. But no matter where you live, the days of having to put up with just a few channels of fuzzy TV are definitely a thing of the past!

Of Mad Men And Market Insights Professionals
Posted by Richard Evensen on March 20, 2012
So, I'm off to the Advertising Research Foundation (ARF) re:Think 2012conference next week. This started me "rethinking" how advertising has changed over the decades, and what that means for market insights professionals.
Back when I was born, advertising was a no-brainer. TV. If you could afford it. Only 3 channels to choose from so the "marketing mix model" was not really complicated. Did you need a lot of research to optimize your advertising? Hmmm, with all eyeballs tuned to you, research-optimized content probably was not as important as it is today (for a trip down memory lane, click here).
Fast-forward a few decades and customer choices have exploded. Has TV been killed by the Facebook star? Should you invest more in Google Adworks than traditional media column inches? If you do venture into social media, in which of the 1,000s of sites do you find your customers? And are they your best customers, i.e. the ones you really want to attract? It's like playing Find Waldo, except that Waldo is a fickle consumer who keeps moving around.
What we need is a Flux Capacitor, like the one in the movie Back to the Future, that allows us to move our capabilities forward ... so we can get back to the past when media decisions were a lot simpler. Unfortunately, a time machine is not in the works. But, at Forrester's Customer Intelligence & Market Leadership Forum, we'll be pulling back the curtain to show you some of the special mix which will help market insights professionals take this step forward so we can be more effective in guiding marketing and advertising decisions. Hint: it's a mixture of customer intelligence, market insights and social media!
As always, we enjoy hearing your thoughts. Are your stakeholders asking you to advise on the optimal media placement and content choices? If so, have you found any approaches which allow you to help them find the best customers and create engaging content?
Finally, if you're going to be at re:Think 2012, send me an email (email@example.com) so we can connect.
Positive outlook
Comment from Peggy Molloy (not verified) on Wed, 03/28/2012 - 10:45
I have attended industry conferences and understand the experience as an attendee.
I find Mr. Evensen to be brave and honest with his writing and I look forward to more of it.

text: M9OXO December 17, 2013 1:58 PM The more I think about this new Citreon driver line up the more I like it, as both drivers really have the potential to deliver. Apart from the Mini disaster, Meeke hasn't been given his chance in WRC (always a lack of top seats), he may have only started 10 WRC events but he has a broad spread of experience (he's 34 years old) His showing in the (new) Mini (while it lasted) was impressive, his speed is unquestionable. Even though he eventually went off in both Finland & Aus, his speed was incredible & really think as @DafyddLarcombe says once he's (hopefully) eased his way into the WRC season he will be running near the front. Some drivers mature later in their career, but you could argue that Meeke is still only at the begining of his (WRC) career, but already has the speed & will only get better as he gets more rallies under his belt. Ostberg I've always rated as a talent, has good WRC experience & this move to Citroen could be just what he needs to make the move to the front. So, o Reply Report abuse 5 agree 2 disagree

The Slaughterhouse cases in the 1870's essentially neutered the privleges and immunities clause(although the Chicago gun case is seeking incorporation of the 2A through the privleges and immunities clause). So using that's a no-go right now.
I think DLs are recognized by states out of convenience, I don't think the Feds forced states to recognize each others DLs.
Although I believe it is a constitutional right, it technically is not enforceable on the states, especially those with no RKBA amendment in their constitutions, like CA, or a very weak wording like IL, who also does not have a CC permit system at all.
Nationwide CC probably will happen after passing laws on a state-by-state basis, with all states eventually recognizing each others permits, barring a federal CC bill passing, which is not likely right now.

6/28/17 | The deal with the Rangers is reportedly for four years worth an average of $4.35 million per season. (Bob McKenzie)
6/28/17 | The Red Wings were hoping to re-sign Smith for a three-year deal worth $3.5 million per season, but Smith is likely to get $4 million per season from the Rangers. (Ansar Khan)
6/27/17 | Elliotte Friedman writes that the Rangers and Smith appear "headed towards a deal." (Sportsnet)
Jeff Gorton said on Saturday that the Rangers have been speaking with Jesper Fast for a while about a new contract and that he hopes something will be done "rather soon."
Gorton said that Fast has been a "good Ranger and I hope we will get it done soon."
Fast will likely miss the start of the season after undergoing hip surgery following the playoffs.
Fast, 25, is an RFA and had a cap hit the past two seasons of $950,000.
6/27/17 | Craig Custance and Ansar Khan report that the Red Wings have a level of interest in recently bought out defenseman Dan Girardi.

Niklas was also a longtime teammate of Henrik's twin brother Joel.
Jeff Gorton said last week that while he was reluctant to move Antti Raanta, the Coyotes insisted on the goalie as part of the package that landed the Rangers Anthony DeAngelo and Lias Andersson.
Gorton said that Raanta was a tough player to give up and that since joining the Rangers Raanta had been "very good, great in our room and great on the ice."
He added that Raanta also wanted to be a number one goalie and that he will have a "great opportunity" to do that in Arizona.
6/26/17 | 5:25PM: Bob McKenzie was on TSN 1260 in Edmonton and Monday and was asked about Kevin Shattenkirk and the Rangers.
McKenzie said, "I don't know that the Rangers are as eager for Shattenkirk that everyone says they are. They might get in those sweepstakes but quite frankly, a big part of the reason they made the Stepan deal was that they were trying to shed a contract.
6/19/17 |Larry Brooks wrote on Monday that there is "no reason to expect" that the Rangers will sign Kevin Shattenkirk to the 6-7 year deal between $6.25 and $6.75 million he could likely command. (NY Post)
Anthony DeAngelo, who was acquired last Friday by the Rangers, was suspended twice in 2014, his draft season, one game for abusing an official and 8 games for comments he made to a teammate.
DeAngelo's coach at the time, former NHLer Trevor Letowski, said that DeAngelo was "caught up in the moment" and probably wishes he could take back what he said. (Yahoo)
He was also suspended in 2015 for a game for what was also believed to be an altercation with a referee.
After he was drafted in 2014 by Tampa Bay, head scout Al Murray said that they met "almost everybody who ha ever been in contact" with DeAngelo and said that they couldn't find anyone who didn't "speak very well of him."
6/28/17 | 5:57PM: Darren Dreger says that while the Rangers have interest in Thornton, they won't go to three-years for him. (Nichols)
6/27/17 | Darren Dreger said Tuesday morning on TSN 690 Montreal that "one of my New York Ranger sources on the draft floor said that they would kick tires on Joe Thornton.
6/26/17 | Larry Brooks writes that it isn't known if Joe Thornton would have interest in joining the Rangers on a one-year deal, but that Jeff Gorton may check in on him. (NY Post)
The Rangers currently have $20 million in cap space, a number that could reach close to $23 million if Kevin Klein retires.
After moving Derek Stepan and his cap hit of $6.5 million on Friday, GM Jeff Gorton said that the Rangers "have money now" and that his phone has started to ring more often because of it.
He added that the cap implications of moving Stepan were a "big part" of the trade.
6/25/17 | The Rangers have officially not offered RFAs Brandon Pirri, Adam Clendening, Troy Donnay, Michael Paliotta and Mackenzie Skapski qualifying offers. Those players will become UFAs. (Newsday)
The Rangers did offer qualifying offers to RFAs Mika Zibanejad, Jesper Fast and Nicklas Jensen. (Newsday)
6/11/17: Pirri & Clendening won't be qualified, Nicklas Jensen will be qualified
According to Larry Brooks, Alain Vigneault has met with Lindy Ruff and is an "enthusiastic supporter" of the decision to add Ruff to the Rangers coaching staff. (NY Post)
Some of Ruff's connections to the Rangers include:
Brooks writes that adding Ruff to the Rangers bench"can only bolster" their decision making on and off the ice. (NY Post)
Brooks also writes that he doesn't think Vigneault should feel "threatened" by the addition of Ruff. (NY Post)
Derek Stepan was on 98.7 Arizona Sports Radio on Friday and spoke about the trade to the Coyotes.
On why he felt he was traded, Stepan said "I think the Rangers were just trying to better their organization and they came up with a solution that they feel is going to make them a better team and this is part of the business. I've been around and I've seen some of my buddies go and it just so happens that this time I am the one who goes. I don't hold them against it, they saw an opportunity to better their club and now I get to better the Coyotes."
Stepan visits MSG on 10/26.
The Rangers have announced their roster for prospect development camp, which begins tomorrow:
6/25/17 | Jeff Gorton said that the Rangers are "open to anything" regarding Zibanejad's next contract.
He said that he has spoken with Zibanejad's representatives and that they will see how the market starts to play out.
6/1/17 | In the latest issue of The Hockey News, they have project Mika Zibanejad's next contract to come in with a cap hit between $3 million and $4 million.
Kevin Allen writes at USA Today that the Rangers are still in need of adding a puck moving defenseman and that they may not want to go down the road of a long-term contract with Kevin Shattenkirk.
Larry Brooks wrote on Sunday that when the season ended he figured the Rangers would need to trade JT Miller or Chris Kreider to land the defenseman they need. (NY Post)
Brooks thought that Derek Stepan could be used for that purpose but says that his contract was an issue for everyone but Arizona. (NY Post)
Jeff Gorton met with the media on Saturday following the draft and said (NYR):
3:20PM: Asked about the coaching changes, Jeff Gorton said "As far as Jeff Beukeboom, we met with Jeff and we agreed on both sides to offer him another job. He wanted to do something else so we are going to put him in another role, yet to be defined, but definitely part of the Rangers going forward. As far as his replacement, that is ongoing and we are trying to figure that out. I know there are rumors about who is going to be there that you want to ask me but I can't answer that because we don't have the answer yet. Hopefully soon but not right now. As far as Jeff Beukeboom, he is part of the organization and we look forward to his new role."
Did you want more experience, "it's always nice to have experience, Jeff had experience, it's just a mutual thing and we are going to find a better role for him right now. As we move forward, who will replace him, experience or not, we will see. We will talk to some people and hopefully have results soon."
12:05PM: The Rangers are hiring Lindy Ruff as an assistant coach in charge of the Rangers defense, replacing Jeff Beukeboom.
The Rangers have traded pick 102 to San Jose for pick 123 and pick 174.
At pick 123, the Rangers selected defenseman Brandon Crawley of the London Knights.
Crawley was not ranked by McKeens, Future Considerations or Hockey Prospect.
Following the Rangers second pick on Friday, Bob McKenzie said on NBCSN that the Rangers were trying to "rebuild on the fly."
Minutes later, Jeff Gorton spoke with NBCSN and said "we need to move forward, a little rebuild on the fly and change the look of our team."
Gorton said that the moves the Rangers made earlier in the day were "tough" but said that they hope it's a step in the right direction.
Pierre McGuire spoke about the Rangers and said that the team has "major questions" to answer and said that they need Mika Zibanejad to have a "gigantic year" next season. (NBCSN)
On Friday June 23, 2017, the Rangers did the following:
On Saturday June 24, 2017, the Rangers have picks 102 (4th round), 145 (5th round), 157 (6th round), 207 (7th round)
Rangers Director of Player Personnel Gordie Clark met with the media following the first round of the draft and said (NYR):
Jeff Gorton spoke with Kathryn Tappen on NBCSN and said:
The Rangers used the 21st pick to select Filip Chytil out of the Czech League.
He was ranked:
Craig Button said, "if you think about a type of player, think of Ondrej Palat. Really good, smart player. Understands how to get open, understands how to play as a Center and on the Wing. Coaches just love players that have that kind of hockey sense. Real good skater, makes the draft by just a few days. Had a really nice improvement over the course of the season."
Alain Vigneault spoke with Kathryn Tappen on NBCSN and said:
With the 7th overall pick, the Rangers selected Lias Andersson from HV71 in Sweden.
He was ranked:
He is 5-11, 210 and Craig Button said "he can play LW, RW, C, he can play up the lineup or throughout the lineup, he can PK, he can play on the PP, he reminds me of a lot in style and temperament of Chris Kunitz. Lias Andersson is really smart and he is a big time competitor who is weighty and doesn't get pushed out of the important areas."
Jeff Gorton met with the media earlier today following the Derek Stepan trade and said (NYR):
6:55PM: Darren Dreger said on NBCSN that the Rangers may be willing to part with 7 and 21 to move up for the Stars pick at 3.
3:50PM: Darren Dreger notes that the Rangers might be trying to move up in the draft after acquiring the 7th overall pick in the Derek Stepan trade.
The Rangers own picks 7 and 21 tonight.
He notes that Vegas continues to try and get into the Top 3.
Following the Rangers trade of Derek Stepan and Antti Raanta to Arizona for the #7 overall pick tonight and Anthony DeAngelo, the Rangers have around $23 million in cap space if Kevin Klein retires.
The Rangers have #7 and #21 in tonight's first round.

When we got a chance to play with the HTC Sensation a couple of weeks back we were quite impressed and today Vodafone has announced that everyone else won't have to wait that much longer to get their grubby mitts on this dual-core beast.
The UK carrier has announced on its website that the handset is now available for pre-order from today and it "will aim to deliver your order by the 19th May." While this may not be the most concrete of promises, at least it seems as if the phone will be available sometime this month. The 1.2GHz dual-core phone is HTC's answer to the other so-called superphones like the LG Optimus 2X, the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Motorola Atrix. As well as featuring the speedy processor, the Sensation has a 4.3in Super LCD qHD Gorilla Glass display and comes with HTC's all-new version of Sense.
While for some Sense is a pointless addition to Android's Gingerbread, for a lot of HTC fans the updates version will be reason enough to buy this phone. Vodafone UK is offering the handset for free on 24-month contracts of £35-per-month or more. For that outlay you'll get 900 minutes, unlimited texts and 750MB of data each month. If however you don't want to pay £35 each month you can get the phone on a £25-per-month plan though the handset will then cost you £199 and you'll only get 100 minutes, 500 texts and half a gig of data - which in the long run is the worse of the deals.
The Sensation is bound to be popular with a lot of Desire HD owners looking to update their handsets but we'll reserve judgement for the moment until we complete our review of the Sensation.

The Knowhow
When your fridge freezer first arrives, you'll need to let it stand upright for around four hours before turning it on if it's been transported horizontally. If your fridge freezer has been transported upright you'll only need to wait for 30 minutes to an hour.
Important: Please note that to ensure optimum performance of your appliance, it will need to be installed with sufficient ventilation to provide enough room to allow heat from the appliance to escape.
If the recommended spacing (following the manufacturer's instructions) is not available, please bear in mind that this may cause the appliance to:
- Consume more power
- Increase running costs
- Reduce cooling performance
For the best performance ensure the appliance has as much ventilation as possible.
Before you plug in your fridge freezer, remove all packaging, clean out all the compartments with soap and water, and wipe down the outside of the fridge with a clean cloth.
Plug your fridge into the main socket and follow the instructions from the manual on what controls need to be changed and what temperature to set your fridge at etc... Usually the temperature will need to start in the middle, e.g. set at 3 from a temperature scale of 1 to 5.
Once you've set all the controls to the correct values, you'll need to wait a few hours for the fridge to reach the correct temperatures. Some fridge freezers have a light that lets you know when you can start storing food. If unsure, check the inside temperature of the fridge and freezer every two hours with a thermometer.
Once you've reached the correct temperature, you can start to move all your food and drinks over.
(Refer to your manufacturer's manual for details)


text: bob - Unregistered May 26, 2013 9:06 PM Well as the other teams knew nothing of the test I think it's safe to say they weren't offered the chance to test as the FIA has stated was part if the agreement. Also, Pirelli is supposed to carry out the test, not the team. As both Hamilton and Rosberg actually tested, it again looks like a breach of the agreement. Looks like Mercedes could be in deep doo doo! 50 agree 9 disagree

Calloway County head boys basketball coach Bruce Lane resigned Tuesday, citing a desire to spend more time with his family.
"You miss out on a lot of time with them (while coaching)," he said of 9-year-old daughter Olivia and 7-year-old son Stephen. "I just felt like it was a good time in my life to make a change and spend more time with my family."
The Lakers posted a 123-88 (.583) record throughout Lane's seven-year tenure after going 144-65 (.689) in the prior seven years under Terry Birdsong. Lane served as an assistant coach for Birdsong during that time and for one year at Caldwell County in Lane's 15-year coaching career.
Lane, the KABC First Region Coach of the Year, said he doesn't plan to coach again soon but wouldn't dismiss the possibility he would return to the profession eventually.
"I love basketball," the 44-year-old said. "You never say never in this business."
The Lakers went 19-9 this season with two regular-season wins against McCracken County and one against Marshall County, the two teams that played in the First Region championship. Their season ended with a 55-48 loss to McCracken County in the first round of the First Region tournament, the fifth time under Lane they failed to advance past that round.
The Lakers lose just two players, Michael Arnett and Tristan Crady, to graduation and return juniors Parker Adams (13.4 points per game), Skyler Hunter (11.8) and Connor Wagner (10.5).
Lane told his players after school Tuesday afternoon of his plan to resign, according to junior guard Wade Carter. Carter said his favorite memory of playing under Lane came in the 2012-13 season, when the Lakers went 23-9 and made the First Region championship.
"I'm disappointed to see him go," Carter said. "He was a good guy to us. He was a good coach who knew when to yell at us and when to talk to us as a regular guy. I really enjoyed playing under him for three years. We're really going to miss him."
But Lane said he has no regrets about his decision.
"I've thought about it a lot for the last three or four weeks," Lane said. "It's weighed heavily on me. There are always a couple of factors outside of coaching that play into it. The last couple of weeks, I've enjoyed my time with my family."

Stoicism or revolution?
As I lived through the French strike on March 19, my friend's saying came to mind. In hard times she says, "Take a teaspoon," and she is referring to a teaspoon of concrete. She means harden up - take it on the chin. 'Take a teaspoon' may translate literally, but on spring streets of Paris in mid-March, no-one was cultivating stoicism and it seems many French people are not going to take the predicted economic tsunami lying down.
Everyday stories of mass sackings and gloomy growth predictions spout from the radio and the television. Truman said it's a recession when your neighbour loses his job, and it's a depression when you lose yours. In our house in France, it's a recession and French citizens are mobilising their discontent into strikes and mass shut downs across the nation. It hardly seems like the time to land a blow into an already bruised economy, perhaps even suicidal, but French history makes it a national obligation to respond vocally and en masse. Their frustrations may manifest differently than in other nations, but the same questions are being asked all over the world. Who is going to save the jobs and where do we go from here?
The last two protests have been against Sarkozy's recent handling of the economy and there were calls for job protection, an increase to the minimum wage, increased taxes on high income earners and an expansion of the social welfare system. On the morning of the strike one of the oldest ladies in the village where I live told me that the protesters are no different from the bankers: all they do is want more until there is nothing left. In effect she is telling the 70 per cent of her fellow French citizens who support the strike that they need to 'take a teaspoon'. As she is a farmer's wife, I decided it wasn't the time to ask her what she thought about those famous farming subsidies.
Her criticism raised more questions. When is it the time to suck it up, follow the leaders, buckle down and brace for the oncoming storm? And when is the time to take action? When a system is jeopardy, and all sorts of worms reveal themselves, is it the time to grab the wounded bull by the horns and enact reforms? As Hannah Arendt said, "Revolutionaries do not make revolutions. The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and then they can pick it up." In my lifetime I have never seen so much power lying in the streets and it takes the form of a giant question mark.
There is uncertainty at the top as world leaders gather together at international forums such as G20 and desperately scramble towards some sort of economic salvation. Down in the trenches, unemployment is rising and job security is fragile. Uncertain economic times pull at the strings of those in power and, combined with a lack of faith by the populace in those elected to lead the population through the fiscal darkness, numerous historical precedents point the way to a possible changing of the guard, not least being the French revolution itself.
In France the New Anti-Capitalist Party has grown in leaps and bounds since the global financial crisis, and its main spokesperson is a 34-year-old, charismatic postman, Oliver Besancenot. After Sarkozy, Besancenot is the second most popular politician in France and he isn't asking French people to take a teaspoon. Au Contraire. He is telling them to hit the streets and demand revolution, a different kind of revolution of the past, but nonetheless a massive regime change based upon old-fashioned left wing ideas. As Besancenot said in an interview with the Financial Times, "We want the established powers to be blown apart."
Terms like class war do not raise the same suspicion in France as they do in the Anglo world. I have heard the term 'class war' many times in the last few weeks but the recent strikes included professionals from major international corporations who demanded that the employees of these firms, rather than shareholders and top tier management, be protected from the fall out of the global financial crisis. Small business owners were also on the streets demanding that the stimulus packages be directed at expanding the welfare system in order to maintain consumer spending on a long-term basis.
So while the French do what they do best - strike, across the Atlantic people are quietly buying Atlas Shrugged in bucket loads. This radical novel by Ayn Rand advocates, among many other things, the abolition of the meddling state so that the geniuses amongst us are freed from their obligations to society and thus their entrepreneurial creativity can be unleashed. The French people may have a penchant for being bolshie, but for years they have benefited from living in an advanced capitalist economy. Are they the spoilt brats of the international family who are trying to grab extra morsels from the table when the cupboard is bare?
Or are they the brave ones, speaking the unspeakable, asking the questions that are buried in the hearts of many ordinary people? If government can intervene in a supposed free market to bail out banks, why not increased intervention in the labour market to save jobs? The answers depend upon ones ideological position but the questions will only get hotter as the predicted slowing of growth ensues. Ideology is back and even though governments tell people to be stoic, spend money and hold on tight until the bumpy ride is over, there is all that power lying the streets. You want some? Or would you prefer to 'take a teaspoon'?

Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Keckly : the remarkable story of the friendship… (edition 2003)
by Jennifer Fleischner
Work details
Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Keckly by Jennifer Fleischner
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Mrs Lincoln & Mrs Keckley, by Jennifer Fleischner
Although I did not like this book, I am giving it 3 stars because I'm sure that history buffs of the Civil War era will enjoy this book.
The book began with a brief bit about the friendship in the prologue...but then went into the detailed background of Todd & somewhat of Mrs Keckley, but in a manner that jumped around. For myself, this was too detailed......I just don't care about all the minute facts about: Free Slaves of the era, Mary Todd's political ambitions (early on she decided she was going to be "a President's wife & live in the White House"), Todd's cousins, which Free Slaves bought which of their family members......
I chose this book because of the review I read and I thought that the book would focus on the friendship.......I was very bored & disappointed.
Two babies were born in 1818 not far from each other but under very different circumstances. Mary Todd was a member of the southern aristocracy in Lexington, KY, while Elizabeth (Lizzy) Hobbs was born into slavery near Petersburg, VA. Despite their polar opposite social standings, they both could be considered victims of their times because they lacked the freedom to do what they wanted. The author goes into great detail about the contrasting backgrounds of the two women who didn't meet until the day before Abraham Lincoln's inauguration in 1861. It was at this point, well into the second half of the book, that the story launched for me.
It was in Washington that Lizzy Keckly thrived after she bought her own freedom from slavery. She became sought after as a skilled dressmaker and worked for the wives of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis. It was only natural that her reputation assured her of the position as dress designer for the new First Lady. Mrs. Lincoln became increasingly unpopular as southern states seceded and a civil war broke out. She came under attack for her spendthrift ways while the Union was scrambling to finance the war. She depended upon Lizzy as a confidante and, when they both lost sons (Lizzy to the war, Mary to disease), their bond was strengthened into friendship.
It was fascinating to go behind the scenes at the White House through the eyes of Lizzy Keckly. President Lincoln called her 'Madame' and appreciated her calming presence on his eccentric wife. While the book began slowly, the last third was completely absorbing. I learned a great deal about women's issues before and during the Civil War through the lives of thse two memorable women.
Felt academic. I wasn't in academic mood.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0767902599, Paperback)A vibrant social history set against the backdrop of the Antebellum south and the Civil War that recreates the lives and friendship of two exceptional women: First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln and her mulatto dressmaker, Elizabeth Keckly.
"I consider you my best living friend," Mary Lincoln wrote to Elizabeth Keckly in 1867, and indeed theirs was a close, if tumultuous, relationship. Born into slavery, mulatto Elizabeth Keckly was Mary Lincoln's dressmaker, confidante, and mainstay during the difficult years that the Lincolns occupied the White House and the early years of Mary's widowhood. But she was a fascinating woman in her own right, independent and already well-established as the dressmaker to the Washington elite when she was first hired by Mary Lincoln upon her arrival in the nation's capital. Lizzy had bought her freedom in 1855 and come to Washington determined to make a life for herself as a free black, and she soon had Washington correspondents reporting that "stately carriages stand before her door, whose haughty owners sit before Lizzy docile as lambs while she tells them what to wear." Mary Lincoln had hired Lizzy in part because she was considered a "high society" seamstress and Mary, an outsider in Washington's social circles, was desperate for social cachet. With her husband struggling to keep the nation together, Mary turned increasingly to her seamstress for companionship, support, and advice—and over the course of those trying years, Lizzy Keckly became her confidante and closest friend.
With Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Keckly, pioneering historian Jennifer Fleischner allows us to glimpse the intimate dynamics of this unusual friendship for the first time, and traces the pivotal events that enabled these two women—one born to be a mistress, the other to be a slave—to forge such an unlikely bond at a time when relations between blacks and whites were tearing the nation apart. Beginning with their respective childhoods in the slaveholding states of Virginia and Kentucky, their story takes us through the years of tragic Civil War, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the early Reconstruction period. An author in her own right, Keckly wrote one of the most detailed biographies of Mary Lincoln ever published, and though it led to a bitter feud between the friends, it is one of the many rich resources that have enhanced Fleischner's trove of original findings.
A remarkable, riveting work of scholarship that reveals the legacy of slavery and sheds new light on the Lincoln White House, Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Keckly brings to life a mesmerizing, intimate aspect of Civil War history, and underscores the inseparability of black and white in our nation's heritage.
From the Hardcover edition.

An Ancient Solution: Zeolites (Aka clinoptilolite) are unique, clay-like volcanic mineral compounds that form in places on Earth where volcanic rock and ash react with alkaline groundwater. For hundreds of years, zeolites have been used as traditional remedies by various cultures to support general well-being. Zeolites have a honeycomb, or cage-like, structure with a negative charge. When consumed, zeolites are able to attract positively charged toxins in our bodies into its 'cage'. These toxins are effectively trapped in the cage - they 'check in,' but they cannot 'check out' - and they can then be safely carried out of our body through the urine or bowels.
ZeoForce is a non-toxic, deeply detoxifying, alkalizing, earth clay dietary supplement that can be taken internally to help support ridding the body of toxins such as radiation, heavy metals, ammonia, and other harmful environmental chemicals. ZeoForce will naturally bond with toxins for safe and effective removal. Benefits increase with continued use.
ZeoForce is carefully micronized to a range of particle sizes for optimal detoxification in all areas of the body, in a way that maintains integrity of the zeolite cage structure. It is mined from a pure source, and then carefully washed, dried and laboratory tested to match standardized quality control specifications. ZeoForce is pure zeolite powder with a potency that diluted liquids simply cannot match. ZeoForce leaves toxins no place to hide!

This product totally surprised me by it's effectiveness. I've been using it just a few days, and yet I can sense some major changes in my well being. My stomach and entire digestive system got balanced almost immediately after first portion. After two days I woke up first time for several years without needing to blow my nose first thing in the morning. I'm very excited to see further reactions.

Zeolite for Detoxification Support!
Posted by mahajek on Aug 16, 2016 | Verified Purchase
There is some concern that zeolite powders itself may contain heavy metals (Zeolites may contain high levels of lead and aluminum), so I use this powder occasionally only in my Detoxification BATHS. For primary heavy metals detoxification, I use chlorella, cilantro, citrus modified pectin, EDTA, ALA, glutathione and infrared saunas, which works pretty great. On top of that baths with zeolite and Epsom salts helps too. However, I would not pick zeolite as a primary heavy metals remover; that would be chlorella and cilantro. Cannot review on zeolite benefits when taking orally since I have not tried it and due to the obvious concerns I won't (unless I see some clear analysis for this specific product). If you like, check my other reviews!

I ordered the product and it was shipped astonishingly fast, for which I'm glad. There is sadly also a downside of the product. It was purchased for a cancer patient, for its great renown in detoxification. Unfortunately, the label is only partially pictured and the information concerning cancer patients is invisible. It states that the product contains lead and shouldn't be given to cancer patients.
A good detox agent.

I use this sometimes to boost my detox. It does work and is lasting. Just one caution - it's VERY dusty, so open it carefully, maybe even outside the house if possible. You don't want to be breathing it.
Lead and aluminium content and warning not included

Naturalnews.com just wrote a warning about zeolite-products after tests: "Zeolites may add 270mg of LEAD to your body every year" As there is no mention or any information about this in the product, I will have to give one star.

I'm buying both calibers but I'm having a hard time deciding.
I have a Smith airweight 38 that belongs to my dad that I could use for pocket, but I really want my own guns. I have been to ranges trying to rent but some models just arent available. Going to deep conceal and holster carry or bellyband.
Having a tough time choosing, but also am researching and taking my time. Your input is appreciated.

I would take everyone else's advise and go with the ones that fit your hand. BUT there is a lot to be said with getting two of the same brand of gun. Having two Glocks make it easy to learn one system.

You guys are making my day...
I have two EDC's...my Kimber Ultra CDP II (95% of the time), and my Glock-36 when on my Harley...
Both are great weapons.
I hated Glocks until I grasped that G-36...now I may even consider the G-26 for my 9mm needs.
Stay armed...stay safe!

I'll stick with glock as they are easy to take care of and just an above average
pistol for the money.As always try several kinds and pick ones that feels best to you.Don't let people or brands sway you.
I purchased my first Glock (G20) in 1990. My first 1911 in 1988. To this day I love my 1911s and Glocks. Buy all of them. You will eventually anyhow. I can tell. Get it over with. What's a little extra debt anyhow?

Mine is accurate, ranch model, but many reports I have read say that when the barrel heats is loses accuracy quickly, might want to go to a gun shop and trade if for the AR...JJ
Well, I have to say I've given this rifle every chance, I've wasted money on expensive 223 ammunition and buying a $150.00 so called barrel stabilizer to just become more and more frustrated. It's extremely reliable based on the M-14 action, but for consistent accuracy, it's all over the place. It's definately no M-14. I may have to accept that it's a POS in the accuracy department, but why would Ruger put out a rifle so inherently inaccurate. I'm presently in the market for a good AR-15 as a varmint rifle, and wish i would have spent the extra 200.00 bucks at the time for a decent AR. Anyone having my dilemma or is your's accurately acceptable. I just can't tolerate a rifle that opens it's group up as mine does.You think you have it sighted in then whammo, two, three or four flyers, then you try to re-zero and then your off again, a vicious ammo wasting cycle. I'd be lucky if i could make a good shot on a coyote @ 100 yards, but a prarie dog would have nothing to fear.

Ok went out today after moving the barrel stabilizer about 3 inches forward from the gas block. Well, it shot extremely accurate today from a cold to a semi warm barrel. So, I'll retract from my previous rant a bit. It did open up a little as the barrel heated up, but perfectly acceptable out to 100 yards. I'm relieved. I will tell you the mini-14 does eat up anything you run in it. Today I used 55 grain Tula ammo and it grouped very well, much better than the Remington I had been using, maybe it liked the Tula better as well.

I dont get it ? both my dad and bro.in law have minis and they are both as accurate as my AR out to 400 meters.
I guess every manufacturer of ANYTHING can make a lemon now and again?

codes say gas cap is the problem, have replaced with both after market and original and still on.
Q: check engine light is on on 2006 Pontiac Montana
(2) Answers
(1) Comments
Please post the check engine code. This code should have given you a few choices besides gas cap such as evap. system small leak detected. Then you can try a visual inspection of the gas filler neck and charcoal cannister and surrounding connections. The only sure way is to get a smoke test done at a shop. Please post code though.
| |
Agree with the answer above. Codes only indicate where to start looking. Evaporative Emission system problems are difficult for anyone to diagnose/test and repair themselves at home. Some evaporative diagnosis requires a scan tool to bi-directionally control solenoids to seal off and open and test for leaks. Another useful tool is a machine that generates an inert gas/smoke that when the system is sealed off, if there are any leaks the smoke "show up" where they are. Also some faults can be intermittent and when the codes are erased the self test procedures your computer uses to test the system can take a week or two to self complete as a certain specific drive procedure has to be performed.
the code I am getting is P0449

First of all, bobamaker is a great, personable, and professional guy to deal with. He replied to my emails promptly and was always friendly. I like that in a seller. :)
He worked with me to achieve a slightly blue but not too blue colour for my ESB Fett display, and he nailed it. It's exactly what I wanted. (The picture below is not an accurate representation of the colour.)
The jumpsuit is excellent, but the vest is just superb -- it's all padded like. I couldn't be happier. I gave him the measurements of my mannequin (which are close to my own) and they both fit perfectly.
Here it is on my pathetic mannequin (forgive the pose -- this is very much a work in progress) with the weathering he did along with some additional weathering of my own:
I'll take better pictures on the weekend in daylight if anyone wants.
The only small issue I had was that the leg cuffs aren't fitted as they are for the ESB version (I used safety pins for the time being). bobamaker is sending me some strips of the material to make some closure straps for this purpose.

Chargers' Rivers Ready for 2013 Season
(NEW YORK) -- San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has faith in his abilities this season.
Rivers has turned the ball over 47 times in the past two seasons and was sacked 49 times in 2012, but doesn't think his game needs any correcting.
"The thing that's gotten to me this offseason is, 'Who's going to fix Philip?'" Rivers told The Los Angeles Times. "That phrase, I almost laugh it off. That drives me nuts, really."
"There's no question I'm responsible for some of the plays and some of the games we haven't won. I'm not going to shy away from that. But we can go sit in there and watch a lot of tape from last year, and I'll ask you, 'What do you want to fix?' It's just about eliminating some of the bad plays," he continued.
The Chargers have missed the postseason three straight years and finished 7-9 last season.
"Last year was the first losing season I've ever been a part of," said Rivers, 31, sitting outside a coffee shop near team headquarters. "You feel like you let down so many people. You realize that your play affects so many people's lives. You've got to be careful trying to think about that often because that's too much. But it's the truth. It's a tough business."
The Chargers will open up against the Texans at home on Sept. 9.

Film Studies Foreign Study
art, art history, and film
Although there are no prerequisites, students are encouraged to take Introduction to Film Art (FM 202) and/or History of European Film (FM 283) to serve as a strong foundation for Film Studies prior to going abroad.
Normally, the student should take no more than three Film Studies courses abroad. With the approval of the co-directors, the student may take other courses where there are solid, established programs, e.g., Paris. These courses should ideally be taken in Junior year, since the student should complete the Senior Project under the close supervision of the advisor within the department. There are no restrictions on the term that a student may study abroad.
Courses taken abroad are often used as major electives. On occasion, parallel courses offered abroad might substitute for the required courses if the syllabi are close in content and approach.
Programs in France, Spain, Italy, England/Scotland, and Australia have been the most successful.
Co-Directors Professor John Michalczyk and Professor Richard Blake, S.J. are the department Study Abroad Advisors and the department's contacts for course approval.
The Co-Directors strongly approve of the study of foreign film and make every effort to allow students to select their own areas of interest in world cinema. The Film Studies offerings abroad in general are often limited to three or four courses during any one term. Prior to enrolling in courses abroad, it is required that the student get approval for the courses and have several options in case a specific course is not offered during the term(s) abroad.

By Joe Evans
Strategic plans without follow-through will collect dust and never be executed as intended. Plan governance is the essential "follow-through ingredient" to set the wheels in motion for strategy execution.
Keeping the Wheels in Motion
The overall strategic plan must be thought of as a portfolio to be managed. The strategic plan portfolio represents the overall macroscopic view of all programs and initiatives involved with strategy implementation.
With the right planning process, the portfolio is constructed as the organization plans. During the operational planning stage of strategic planning, initiatives are defined that support the strategy's outcomes.
Those initiatives can then be broken down into bite-size projects so that they can be estimated, understood, and eventually — managed. Obviously, projects are much more detailed in terms of defining the timeframes, HR requirements, technology requirements, and other details necessary to pave a successful path to delivery.
To manage the overall strategic plan, however, we must have some different views of the work to be completed in order to successfully manage it. Grouping projects into programs provides a big-picture way of tracking, managing, and reporting on the tens, hundreds, or in the most extreme cases — thousands of projects that can arise from a corporate strategic plan.
Projects can be grouped into programs in terms of how they support the overarching strategy and goals or along budgetary lines. The overall group of programs is the portfolio. Plan governance then becomes the vehicle to manage the plan portfolio and ensure the implementation of operational initiatives with plan goals and track progress of plan-supporting strategic initiatives through effective oversight at the corporate and operational levels.
Plan Governance Offices
Organizations that have matured in their planning process have taken governance to another level and have implemented Plan Management Offices. Plan governance, whether implemented as a formal Plan Management Office or administered through a less formalized committee structure, should be responsible for the functions of selecting, managing and measuring of everything entering or within the plan portfolio. Plan Management Offices benefit the organization by offering better visualization into all efforts supporting strategic implementation. Plan Management Offices also position organizations to better manage the interrelationships of all the underlying initiatives, considering dependency relationships and constraints on resources.
Performance must be managed, and in order to manage performance — it must be measured. Without proper accountability built into strategic and operational plans, you can expect them to fall short of expectations. There is simply no way to track to the delivery of the strategic goals of the business without defined accountability that allow for this to happen. Accountability requires specific time frames along with measurable targets.
Even simple tools such as RACI models (see explanation and example below) can aid in mapping out Responsibility, Accountability, Consult and Inform roles relative to the programs or initiatives supporting the plan.
As a function of the ongoing management of the plan portfolio, plan governance also involves refreshing the strategic and supporting operational plans to reflect changes as a result of completing plan goals and taking on new ones. This structure allows for strategic and operational planning to become much more actively managed and based on a shorter time horizons.
Lastly, a plan governance model can harvest metrics and status reporting from across the portfolio of all programs and their underlying projects. Metrics are harvested from the tactical layer to provide historical acceleration data to offer continual improvement to the planning cycle.
In the end, planning governance helps organizations filter through the minutia of everyday tasks to focus on accomplishing key outcomes sought by executive leadership.

On August 25, 2001, in the Hayti district of Durham, North Carolina, a historical marker was set up on the corner of Fayetteville and Simmons Streets, outside a branch of the Durham Public Library, where the American Tobacco Trail wends its way for those interested. The marker's heading, 'Bull City Blues', paid tribute to a group of long-dead musicians, led by Blind Boy Fuller and Blind Gary Davis, who more than 60 years previously would play for factory workers gathered around a barbecue stand set up across the street.
Back in the summer of 1939, J.B. Long drove Blind Boy Fuller, Sonny Terry and George (Oh Red) Washington to Memphis for a July 12 recording session. Fuller went first, cutting twelve titles, three solo, five with Terry's harmonica, five with Oh Red's washboard (only 'I Want Some Of Your Pie' had both Terry and Red present). Two, 'You've Got Something There' and 'Red's Got The Piccolo Blues', featured a second guitar probably played by Sonny Jones, who cut three titles of his own at the end of the session.
There was a recording trip to New York in the middle of June 1940 for the Fuller/ Terry/Washington trio. Although the latter didn't have a session to himself, four of the twelve masters allocated to Blind Boy Fuller were in fact released as by Brother George And His Sanctified Singers.

This is a matter of opinion but this is what I do with a usb and a hard drive install. Instead of taking up all that space I got a pocket size toshiba 160 gig hard drive from compusa and placed my rainbow tables on it all my word lists and some tables I generated. All that only took 110 gigs and I got 50 left. Now any where I go as long as I have a usb alfa, bt3 usb, and portable usb harddrive I have every thing I need. The whole set up fits in my pocket.
I felt like bending the bars back, and ripping out the window frames and eating them. yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumb*sses. I'm a mental patient. I'm *supposed* to act out!
Comp-USA in my town is going out of business and they are selling stuff for absurd prices so I've got all kinds of new stuff. To bad they don't sell the pico chip
ive just spent the last 2 weeks trying to figure out the same thing for myself.. and after 14 duff cd's i finally got it to work.. rather chuffed with myself i may add... only reason i do it this way is because my linux knowledge is rather poor and when i installed bt2 to my hdd i now cant patch my drivers for injection coz i dont know how.. ipw 3945 abg

I wonder if this study takes into account racially aware Chinese, Korean, Israelis, and Japanese, all groups with very noted and high IQs? This is just more "Pick on Whitey" nonsense.
Conservatives and racists less intelligent says study - TNT MagazineLess intelligent people are possibly drawn to conservative ideologies because such beliefs feature "structure and order," which make it easier to comprehend a complicated world. Conservative ideologies tend to stress resistance to change and this can lead to prejudice, an experts says.
The study from Brock University in Ontario, published in Psychological Science, showed that people who score low on I.Q. tests in childhood are more likely to develop prejudiced beliefs and socially conservative politics in adulthood.

July 8, 2011
RENO, Nev. - Three University of Nevada football players were honored this week by being named to watch lists for various awards.
On Friday, senior linebacker James-Michael Johnson was named to the watch list for the 2011 Bronko Nagurski Trophy, which is given annually to the nation's top defensive player. Johnson is one of 87 players nationally on the list and one of just three from the Western Athletic Conference.
Also on Friday, junior guard Chris Barker was named to the watch list for the 2011 Outland Trophy, given annually to the nation's top interior lineman. There are 65 players on the list and Barker is one of just two from the WAC.
Earlier this week, senior wide receiver Rishard Matthews was named to the watch list for the Biletnikoff Award, which is doled out annually to the nation's top receiver.
Johnson, a senior from Fairfield, Calif., is a two-time All-WAC performer at linebacker who served as a team captain last season as a junior. He led the team in tackles and was among the WAC leaders with 84 stops on the season. He registered eight tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks on the year while forcing three fumbles and recovering one.
Barker is a junior from Fontana, Calif., who has started all 27 games of his career. He earned second-team All-WAC honors in 2010 after a superb sophomore season in which he helped pave the way for one of the top offenses in the nation.
Matthews, a senior from Santa Ana, Calif., led Nevada in all receiving categories in his first year with the Pack in 2010 as he had 56 catches for 879 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 62.8 yards per game. He was named second-team All-WAC for his efforts. He is also a dangerous return man as he averaged 9.8 yards per return, including a 72-yarder for a touchdown in the 20-13 win over Boston College in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

The Rev. Al Sharpton is descended from a slave once owned by Strom Thurmond's family, according to genealogists working on behalf of The New York Daily News. Sharpton called the revelation "probably the most shocking thing in my life."
Sharpton learned of his connection to Thurmond, once a prominent defender of segregation, last week through the Daily News, which asked genealogists to trace his roots.
"It was probably the most shocking thing in my life," Sharpton said at a news conference Sunday, the same day the tabloid revealed the story.
Some of Thurmond's relatives said the nexus also came as a surprise to them. Doris Strom Costner, a distant cousin who said she knew the late senator all her life, said Sunday she "never heard of such a thing."
The revelations surfaced after Ancestry.com contacted a Daily News reporter who agreed to have his own family tree done. The intrigued reporter then turned around and asked Sharpton if he wanted to participate. Sharpton said he told the paper, "Go for it."
The genealogists, who were not paid by the newspaper, uncovered the ancestral ties using a variety of documents that included census, marriage and death records.
