More than twelve hundred years ago, the country we now call England was inhabited by small groups of Anglo-Saxons who lived in rural communities called tuns (a group of ten families).
The Anglo-Saxon word for chief was gerefa, which was later shortened to reeve (group of 100 families). During the next two centuries, a number of changes occurred in their system which led to a new unit of government, the shire (groups of hundreds banded together), which is now known in America as a county. So to distinguish the leader of a shire from the leader of a mere hundred, the more powerful official name became known as a shire-reeve.
The word shire-reeve eventually became the modern word for sheriff (the keeper, or chief, of the county).
In the year 871, under King Alfred the Great, the Sheriff was responsible for maintaining law and order within his own county.
In 1215, King John signed the Magna Carta. In the text of the Magna Carta it mentioned the role of the Sheriff nine times further establishing the importance of the office.
Over the next few centuries, the Sheriff remained the leading law enforcement officer for the county.
In 1941, Walter H.Anderson, a prominent attorney of the Idaho, California and Tennessee state Bar and supreme Court of the United States Bar, wrote A Treatise On The Law Of Sheriffs which has become the foremost legal authority on the subject of Sheriffs.
Anderson states that "the Sheriff's primary obligation is to represent the sovereignty, authority, and interests of the state in his respective jurisdiction", whereas the Police department represents the interests of the local jurisdiction. Originally the Sheriff was the King' s man, representing the interests and authority of the King in his Shire, often controlled by noblemen not always sympathetic or loyal to the King. In preserving the rights of the government, he (the Sheriff) represents the sovereignty of the state and has no superior in his county.
The modern Office of Sheriff carries with it all of the common law powers, duties and responsibilities to preserve the peace, enforce the laws and arrest and commit to jail felons and other infractors of the law. The Sheriff is the principle conservator of the peace within the county.

I don't know what it is about coming back from vacation that makes even the simplest daily activity suddenly seem like a daunting task. Needless to say, I have not been on my A game this week - between trying to decorate the house for Christmas, prepare for my daughter's birthday party next weekend and get all my holiday shopping done, I've felt like a disheveled mess. In the midst of it all, I've had to just stop & remind myself that it's completely okay.
It's okay to let that laundry pile sit for another day so I can read my son "just one more" book at bedtime. It's okay if those crumbs on the table aren't immediately swept away after each family meal. It's okay to snuggle in bed with my husband a little longer in the morning...even if it means that I don't have time to iron my clothes. All these little traces of imperfections leave behind a footprint of love; they tell a story of time well-spent and a life that is focused on what really matters. This holiday season, let's give ourselves permission to ignore the endless to-do list in our heads; to quiet the voice that says we have to always keep up appearances...and instead let's focus on cherishing what is lasting, pricelessly valuable & right in front of us every single day.
What I'm wearing:
c/o Dorothy Perkins coat (similar here or here), J. Crew Factory scarf, Forever 21 top,
thrifted Lands' End shirt (similar here or here), c/o Old Navy jeans, c/o Dorothy Perkins boots,

People feel that they will not fall over into this hurdle during the function. Debtors poverty and requirement low time unit payments, which means, empire do not fix considerably of their liability.

Stephanie Jenkins:
How do debt combining programs work?
Debbie White:
Consolidating your debts is the start of the programme. The dying aspiration of indebtedness consolidation programs is to pay all your debts absolutely. Another grievous nonsubjective of the program is to guide people, in this valise the debtor, how not to slop in this setting of all time over again by off-ramp their liability into lavishness. First, grouping have need of to declare that they are in a extremely momentous position for them to concord to use the indebtedness combine programs. Second, after deepening all the gen needed, it is advisable to seek executive sustain to trail a thought and get out of liability as in a minute as likely.
People frequently believe that creating a idea is as jammy as basically programming every dates and calculation out how to release any jewels. Nowadays it is intensely rife to insight educated population who do not have a indication as to how to bring off their in the flesh financial side.

The Department of Computer Engineering organized the annual Robofesta-PH, in cooperation with the School of Engineering at the Activity Center, Ayala Center Cebu last December 4.
The first robotics competition organized by the DCpE was called 'Cebu RoboCom' in 2003. It had two main categories: one is the elementary category, the other is the college category. Through the years a number of 'updates' were applied to the event which included one more main category and a few minor events. And its name was changed to "RoboFesta" which is borrowed with permission from Japan, with the goal of promoting robotics through competition.
The high school category was introduced in 2007; it was an exercise in programming 2D virtual robots to do battle. Three years later the high school category was upgraded to work with 3D virtual robots, and added minor categories such as Robot Display, Robot Dance and Speed Racer. The change to real mobile robot programming was implemented for the high school category in 2013.
RoboFesta is an acronym which means "Robotics: Fostering Education, Science and Technology Application". The essence of the competition is to engage interested people and let them know what robotics is all about and what applications could be made with it. It also aims to show that robotics could be both fun and educational.
A good starting point to realize this goal is through the educational system. The three main events are: 'Run Robot Run: Terrain Dweller', 'Line Orienteering Robot' and 'Intelligent Robot Festival' designed for students from different year levels. The competitors for the events are students from elementary, high school and college or robot hobbyists, respectively.
Elementary students are trained to program a LEGO Robotics Kit, the "Lego Mindstorms EV3". They have to solve a configurable maze with challenges. Reaching the finish line with the most points will get them the first place. High school students have to rely on their C/C++ programming skills to work with the "Pololu 3pi Robot". A reprogrammable wheeled robot with an obstacle detector would be run through a maze with the option of earning points by visiting 'walls'.
The highest pointer with the lowest time is awarded with a trophy. Finally, college students and professionals have to make their own robots from scratch. This time the challenge is to collect and segregate objects. Colored balls are arranged in an arena and corresponding bins are also used. They have the task of finding the ball, determining its color, placing it at the right bin and doing all this given the time limit.
The school that got the award this time was CCL CentrEx from Lapu-Lapu City. Their students got the first place for the elementary and high school categories. The Speed Racer was won by our own students from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering.

According to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), the preliminary numbers on motorcycle accident fatalities in 2012 across the US has risen sharply and that based on the trend will rise by about 9% over 2011 numbers. In that year, more than 80,000 motorcycle riders in the US have been injured, and in Kentucky alone there were 1,884 motorcycle-related collisions with 1,145 people injured.
Nationwide, though overall traffic fatalities had decreased, fatalities from motorcycle accidents in the first half of 2012 increased by more than 24%. This overrepresentation indicates that more people are getting on their motorcycles than ever before, increasing the chances of a motorcycle-related accident. And because motorcycle riders are 30 times more likely to be injured or killed in an accident than car riders, these numbers may continue on this disturbing trend in the years to come.
Based on these studies, the GHSA urged states to knuckle down on safety laws regulating motorcycle use, specifically helmet use and rider training. Helmets have been proven to give their wearers some protection against head injuries in an accident although there are no guarantees even with helmets that meet the national safety standards.
However, motorcycle riders are not the only factors that should be considered. The behavior of car and truck drivers on the road should also be addressed, because no matter how much safety gear is worn or how careful the motorcycle rider is, they are no match against a reckless driver behind the wheel of a passenger car. As pointed out in an article on the website of the Sampson Law Firm in Louisville, motorcycle riders are vulnerable with very little body protection at their disposal.
If you have been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident because of a reckless or negligent driver, you may be able to get compensated for it. Contact a skilled personal injury lawyer in your area to represent your case.
Personal injury is a devastating experience for both you and anyone who depends on your income and ability to take care of things around the house. Most people don't realize how debilitating it is until they face it. If you are in this situation, find a good lawyer and read the following article; both will help you through.
Make sure that you gather all of the information you can from anyone that was involved in your injury. This means that you should get the addresses, names and phone numbers of the party that injured you as well as any witnesses that were on the scene. You should also take note of anything that is said during the time of the accident.
Get a detailed police report regarding an injury you receive, for future reference in court. Not only will the information gathered by the authorities be very credible, it can help prove that you were wrongfully injured and win your case. Failure to collect credible evidence means your claim may be viewed as hearsay, and that won't win you anything!
If none of your friends or family members have been through a personal injury case, search the Internet for valuable information about personal injury attorneys. There are many organizations and forums that rate lawyers based upon client reviews. These sites can also show you the attorney's track record for winning personal injury lawsuits. Their own websites may also have testimonials from clients they have helped, as found at http://www.pohlberkattorneys.com.
Take a second to ask your friends and family about any recommendations that they might have. Personal injury lawyers come in all shapes, sizes, and varieties: you might need a trusted friend's opinion to find the right one for you. Make sure it's someone you know is trustworthy and has no financial motivations.
Personal injury can stop a life in its tracks; you're no longer able to do anything the way you once did. Make sure you don't suffer more than you have to by going it alone in court. Use the above information along with hiring a top-notch lawyer. The outcome of your case could affect you for life.
One of the leading issues doctors have with their patients and their prescription medications is that often, patients do not take their medication. This is commonly due to plain carelessness or the pain brought about by the side effects. Because prescription drugs work best when they are taken as prescribed by the physician, missing your medication can have a serious effect on your health. Missing medication costs the country billions of dollars in unnecessary hospital visits, and has accounts for 125,000 preventable deaths every year. Fortunately, the latest innovation can help keep people from missing taking their medications.
Enter the electronic meds. Developed by the Proteus Digital Health of Redwood City, California, these minute sensors will be ingested and safely go through your system. It comes with a sensor-loaded patch that is worn on the skin, allowing you to track your own activity level (and even body temperature), which you can share to your physician. This device can make the patients become more accountable regarding their medications and their own health in general. Although there have been many attempts in ensuring or reminding patients about their medications such as smart pill caps and even cellphone reminders, they have not been successful. Doctors believe that the Helius system will change this problem.
Initially approved in Europe in 2012, and then in the Us later that same year, several trials on patients suffering from various disorders has yielded positive results – about 95 percent of the trails were accurate in tracking the patients' prescription drug schedule. After the end of the trial, a great majority of the patients report being comfortable with using the sensors and are interested in the possibility of using them again in the future. Although Proteus digital Health has plans to construct a manufacturing plant in the United Kingdom, there is no sure statement on when the Helius system will be made available commercially.
Paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva) is one of a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It has been marketed since 1992 by Glaxo SmithKline (formerly SmithKline Beecham) and has been available under generic brands since 2003. It is prescribed for major depression, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, and menopausal hot flashes and night sweats.
Paroxetine should not be prescribed as much as possible to anyone under 18, many adult males, and pregnant women. The last warning is because clinical trials indicate that it increases the risk of birth defects. This should also apply to women who are planning to get pregnant.
The drug is also contraindicated for pediatric and adolescent patients with depression or anxiety disorders as paroxetine trials showed an increased risk of suicidality. Paroxetine is also associated with higher than usual incidence of drowsiness, nausea, and weight gain. Sexual dysfunction, which is a side effect shared by SSRI drugs, includes genital anesthesia and ejaculatory anhedonia, and can last for a long time after discontinuation of the drug. Paroxetine is also associated with the highest incidence and most severe cases of withdrawal syndrome in its class, although using a liquid formulation may help prevent this by allowing a gradual decrease of the dosages. Other symptoms associated with paroxetine includes asthenia (lack of energy), sweating, insomnia, dry mouth, dizziness, high blood pressure, impaired memory, decreased fertility, paresthesia (tingling sensation), and tremors.
These side effects generally present within the first 4 weeks of drug intake but even when the body acquires a tolerance, the effects can re-emerge as withdrawal can have a rebound effect. Changing the dosage may also trigger a re-emergence or worsening of the side effects. There are also observed cases of akathisia (feeling of uneasiness and restlessness), mania, hypomania, alcohol abuse, long-term memory impairment, hyperacusis, and activation syndrome with paroxetine treatment.
Chemicals are not always bad for you. We are exposed to chemicals all the time, so technically this would be considered chemical exposure, but not all chemical exposure will make you sick or have any effect on your health.
But there are definitely chemicals in our environment which can cause serious harm, and they can be anywhere. You could be breathing it in, drinking it in your water, eating it in your food, or absorbing it through your skin without being aware of it. Examples of some harmful substances that you may be in contact right now are carbon monoxide (from car exhausts and defective furnaces), methyl mercury (contaminated fish), and lead (in old paint).
The extent of the health effect from exposure to harmful chemicals depends on a number of factors. Some chemicals are downright dangerous to everyone, while some are only harmful to those who are sensitive to it. The risk of getting sick from chemical exposure will depend on what kind of chemical it is, how long and frequent the exposure is and at what concentration, the means of absorption into the body, and your general health. People with compromised immune systems, for example, are at higher risk of getting sick than those who are in robust health. According to the website of Goings Law Firm, LLC in Columbia, exposure to toxic substances can have serious and debilitating consequences, including death.
In some cases, we are not aware that we are being exposed to harmful chemicals because the effects don't manifest immediately. Those who are exposed to asbestos in the workplace, for example, will only develop symptoms as much as 40 years after, and then the disease typically progresses rapidly after that. If you suspect that your disease has been caused by chemical exposure due to the negligence of others, you should immediately consult with a personal injury lawyer in your area with experience in handling this type of case to discuss your eligibility to receive compensation from the responsibility party.
Think of the spinal cord as the bridge over a bottomless pit connecting two cities which trade with each other. In order for there to be any trade, everything has to pass through the bridge. If that bridge is destroyed either from natural causes or because a huge rock fell on it and smashed it to bits, it would mean the end of trade. The chances of rebuilding the bridge will depend on the location and extent of the damage.
The spinal cord serves as the bridge between the brain and the rest of the body, bringing electrical signals to and from the brain, determining an individual's ability to move and to feel sensations. Spinal cord injuries result not from disease but from physical trauma such as from a fall or from a car crash, and when it involves serious damage that precludes total recovery, these are considered catastrophic injuries.
There are two major types of spinal cord injuries: complete and incomplete. Complete denotes a total loss of motor and sensory function, indicating an injury between sacral segments S4 and S5, and is usually permanent. There are several levels described under incomplete ranging from no loss of function to loss of motor function but preserved sensory function. Under the standards established by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA), the extent of function loss is classified as A for complete loss of function to E in which motor and sensory responses are normal. However, even when everything seems to be normal, trauma to the spinal cord may still result in neurological damage.
The spinal cord is sensitive, so it's critical to minimize the damage it may suffer after an injury. According to the website of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, spinal cord trauma is one of the chief concerns of emergency medical technicians in accidents, which is why victims are often stabilized using special equipment to keep the damage from getting worse. If you sustained spinal cord injury because of the negligence of others, you may have a cause for action. Consult with a personal injury lawyer at the earliest opportunity to get compensation for the consequences of serious injury.
When a patient gets cuts, lacerations, or burns, part of the healing process is the formation of scar tissue. Scars are fibrous tissue that bridges the gap formed when the skin and underlying structures are damaged, but differ structurally from normal skin. Depending on the extent of the damage and the patient's age, genetic makeup, and health, scars can range from the hardly noticeable to whoppers that would be hard to ignore.
Scars may also form after reconstructive surgery, which depending on the location can significantly hamper movement or affect one's physical appearance adversely. These are undesirable consequences, and one way that it can be minimized is by using an extracellular matrix (ECM) product in dressing areas where healing will occur. According to the website of Bergman Folkers Plastic Surgery in Des Moines which uses ECM in their procedures, ECM accelerates healing and promotes growth of normal skin while inhibiting the formation of scars.
ECM is basically the outer walls of the cells in multicellular organisms made up of fibrous proteins and mucopolysaccharides, which serves to provide the cells with biochemical and structural support. There are two types of ECM: animal and plant. Animal ECM consists of the interstitial matrix and basement membrane, the latter which is lacking in plant ECM.
The efficacy of ECM in cellular regeneration has been widely studied, and one of the better types of ECM is porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM) because it is acellular (cellular debris removed) yet maintains its collagen structure and is easily resorbed. Commercially, the only manufacturer for UBM is currently ACell Inc., which uses it as a base for its MatriStem line of wound remodeling products. The products are acellular (cellular debris removed), non-crosslinked.
Competent surgeons know the benefits of using ECM to patients, which is seamless healing following facial, breast, and hand reconstruction as well as burn injury repairs. If you are considering having reconstructive surgery done, be sure to ask your surgery about the benefits of ECM.
Going to trial is often a risky business, which is why most plaintiffs choose to accept settlements rather than take their chances before a jury. This was confirmed when the judge in West Virginia dismissed a product liability case against Johnson & Johnson (J&J) which alleged that the vaginal mesh defect caused serious injury to the plaintiff.
The West Virginia case was a win for J&J, and an encouraging sign for other transvaginal mesh manufacturers, who collectively are facing 43,000 more cases that are awaiting trial. But it may be too early to celebrate.
A more recent case heard in Texas came to verdict for the plaintiff, and the jury awarded the plaintiff $1.2 million in damages. The cases and allegations were similar, but the difference in outcome may have been due to how well the case was presented.
Transvaginal mesh products were first approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a solution to stress incontinence and pelvic organ prolapsed in women in 1998. It is based on the design of the surgical mesh, which has been successfully used for hernia repair with no serious adverse consequences. However, because the mesh is placed the vaginal area, manufacturers should have conducted tests and accordingly modified the design of the mesh to take into account the unique issues of the location, including sterility and movement. Because they failed to do this, thousands of women implanted with the mesh has suffered serious side effects, including erosion of the mesh, organ perforation from mesh displacement, pain during intercourse, and scarring.
It was only in 2012 when the FDA ordered an investigation into the matter after thousands of cases were filed alleging defects in the design of the various transvaginal mesh products, but it was too late for the millions of women who had already had the procedure done. But it is not too late to get compensation.
If you or a family member has suffered pain or injury from a transvaginal mesh, you may be qualified to get compensation for the failure of these manufacturers to warn you about the dangers. Consult with a product liability lawyer in your area with experience in handling this particular type of case to get more information.
Every time you climb into a car and hit the public road, you are responsible for the safety of those in your vehicle as well as people in other vehicles, pedestrians, bike and motorcycle riders, and anyone else you share the road with insofar as your conduct as a driver is concerned. This is a huge responsibility, and something that most motorists consider as a matter of course. In general, drivers do understand their duties and exercise appropriate caution when driving, if only to avoid getting a ticket.
But when you are dealing with trucks and buses, you need to be extra vigilant. There are some situations which are unique with these large vehicles which are not really an issue with regular cars. One of these is the presence of blind spots, also known as no-zones.
Actually, all vehicles have blind spots, but because regular vehicles are usually narrower, shorter, and lower than trucks and buses, the blind spots are more manageable. With trucks and buses, however, they literally cannot see a smaller vehicle that is directly behind, in front, or at certain angles on the both sides. You could say that trucks need a wide berth all around them, so to avoid truck accidents you need to steer clear of these no-zones. This means no tail-gating, switching lanes suddenly less than a car length in front or behind a truck, and passing on the right side of the truck. If you must overtake a truck, do so on the left and do it as quickly as possible.
Truck drivers also have the responsibility to minimize no-zone accidents by using caution when changing lanes, braking, and turning into an intersection. Some trucks are equipped with cameras at the back and front which will help visibility, but in general truck drivers just need to be on the lookout for clueless motorists.
Fault in a no-zone accident depends on how the drivers conducted themselves prior to the incident. If you are injured in a no-zone truck accident because the truck driver failed to use due caution, you may have an actionable case. Consult with a competent truck accident lawyer to discuss your legal options.
Many states restrict or outright prohibit the consumption, possession, and purchase or alcohol by any person under the legal drinking age (typically 21), although there may be exceptions specific to each state. In Iowa City, for example, it is still allowed under city ordinance Possession of Alcohol Under the Legal Age (PAULA) for minors to drink alcohol in the company of a parent or guardian but only in their own home, although a recently proposed law is aiming to void this exception. In Texas, a minor may consume alcohol in the company of an adult parent, guardian, or spouse.
When these underage drinking laws are violated, the minor may face criminal charges, and any adult other than those authorized under state law who is found to have supplied a minor with alcohol may also be prosecuted. In most states, establishments which sell or serve alcohol may be penalized for providing a minor with access to alcohol.
While the penalties for underage drinking law violations are not excessive, being convicted of even a simple misdemeanor still means that the defendant acquires a criminal record. As pointed out in an article on the website of Arenson Law Group, PC in Cedar Rapids, for anyone, but especially young people, a criminal record is like a rock tied around the neck. It can affect job opportunities and future endeavors. It will weigh you down and you will have to drag it around for the rest of your life.
Underage drinking is unfortunately rampant in the US, and is the cause of many preventable car accidents. This is why most states are imposing more restrictive laws to discourage it and to halt an alarming trend. On the other hand, these laws and the zeal with which law enforcement carries out their mandate can make it very easy for anyone to get arrested. When this happens, it is important for the defendant to engage the services of a good lawyer who has a thorough knowledge of state laws and experience in handling underage drinking cases to avoid a conviction. At the very least, a good criminal defense may lead to probation or deferred adjudication, especially for first-time offenders.

Wolves in green clothing
There's a stealth ideological movement in higher ed. Now that we are all highly attuned to how certain marked categories--race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, etc.--are amenable to ideological manipulation on campuses, we have become a little bit complacent about the broader phenomenon of ideological manipulation. And we've let a lot slip in under the radar.
The animal rights movement is one of these. It may seem all warm and fuzzy to support this one--but when researchers' homes are being firebombed, things have gone a bit far. And yes, there is a line that can be drawn connecting the seemingly harmless PETA people to terrorist groups such as the Animal Liberation Front. They are not as separate or distinct as they may appear.
The green movement is another stealth ideological movement. As I've said before on this blog, I'm all for clean air, pure water, recycling, and reduced footprints. But at the same time, I am wary of the people who try to peddle anthropogenic global warming as a settled truth--it's not. And I'm wary, too, of folks who think it's okay to turn campuses and classrooms into environmental crusades, particularly when those crusades are predicated on questionable science or unproven but costly panaceas.
Focus the Nation, the recent global warming "teach in" aimed at getting campuses across the country to devote class time to promoting environmental awareness and activism, was a scary thing. So was the way 1500 campuses across the country just bought in, and willingly agreed to suspend regular operations to advocate for an openly political cause. So was the way the higher ed media didn't seem to pick up on the problem. I love Inside Higher Ed, and read it every day. But those guys missed the boat on this one.
Brown philosophy professor Felicia Ackerman explains what was wrong with the teach-in--and why she declined to participate, in today's Providence Journal:
A FEW MONTHS AGO, I received an e-mail offering me a "very exciting" opportunity. Unlike most such e-mails, it was not after my money. It was after what I guard much more carefully: my time and my ideological commitment. It asked Brown University's philosophy professors to participate in a national movement called "Focus the Nation" and to "devote a portion of class time" on Jan. 31 or during that week "to teach about climate change as it relates to your discipline."
This prospect enticed me about as much as the frequent e-mails offering Viagra at a reduced price. So I did not use class time to teach about climate change. Here are four reasons why not.
Reason 1: Climate change is not what students signed up to study in my courses.
Neither of the courses I am teaching this term has anything to do with climate change. I would not pay my veterinarian if he talked about climate change instead of examining my cat. I would not pay a piano teacher for a full hour's lesson if she spent part of that time teaching me about climate change instead of teaching me piano. My students are entitled to the same respect from me that I expect from service providers. This means providing the service my students signed up for rather than whatever I decide is most important. I could avoid the problem by changing my course titles to "Whatever Professor Ackerman Decides Is Most Important," but that might leave me with no students to teach at all.
Reason 2: I am unqualified to teach about climate change.
I am not an expert on climate change. I am not an expert on how climate change might relate to philosophy. Rather than taking the time to become an expert on these topics, I prefer to pursue the intellectual interests I already have.
Reason 3: My students can have better opportunities to learn about climate change.
Brown University has physicists, geologists, chemists, biologists and engineers. Brown probably also has non-scientists who are interested in becoming experts on climate change as it relates to their disciplines. Experts can offer courses and teach-ins on climate change. Why not leave the teaching about climate change to them? One possible answer is that while many students may not be interested enough to take such courses or attend such teach-ins, these students are unlikely to get up and leave if climate change comes up in a course they are already taking on some other topic. In other words, professors should take advantage of a semi-captive audience. Is this any way to respect students?
Reason 4: I do not think climate change is the most important social problem in the world.
I am not disputing the scientific consensus about the technical aspects of climate change. As a non-scientist, I would have to be a crackpot to think that I know more than scientists about scientific matters. But I can have my own views about priorities. Climate change holds danger of future catastrophes. But other catastrophes are happening right now. They are what I would focus on if I were willing to take class time away from my courses' subject matter. The life expectancy in most African countries is under 60 right now. In America, millions of people lack health insurance right now. Are you prepared to tell an African, or an American with cancer and no health insurance, that climate change is the most important social problem in the world? I am not.
I would rather tell students that my classes are not designed to address the most important social problems in the world, and that's okay. My classes are not my students' whole lives. Students can use their ample time outside my classes to address whatever social problems they find most important, which may or may not include climate change.
Ackerman nails it. And she does so in terms very closely tied to the AAUP's foundational conception of academic freedom, which reminds professors to stick to their areas of expertise and orders them not to impose on students by haranguing them about politics or wasting their time with inappropriate digressions. The wonder is that she seems to be pretty much alone in speaking up. Where are the other professionally responsible professors? Where is the AAUP?
Focus the Nation is not the only green agenda that's having its way with campuses. There is also the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, which enjoins college presidents to pledge to make their campuses climate neutral within two years while integrating "sustainability education" into the curriculum (read: environmental sensitivity training). Inside Higher Ed missed the boat on this one, too, giving it the subtle endorsement of blinkered and uncritical reporting.
To its credit, the Chronicle of Higher Education did a piece on schools that declined to sign the commitment, citing some genuinely intelligent reasoning from the presidents of Reed, Colorado College, U Minnesota - Twin Cities, and Williams. Reed's president noted that the College is committed to political neutrality in its institutional decision making. Officials at Minnesota noted that the president does not have the authority to make unilateral decisions about curricular content (academic freedom, remember?). Others noted that it's irresponsible to commit to something like "climate neutrality in two years" without any sense of what that would entail or how much it would cost. All of this is immensely sensible.
What's not sensible, and what is scary, is that hundreds of presidents did not have these thoughts, and did sign the commitment--thus putting ideology (and the cred that comes with being on the "right" side) ahead of fiduciary responsibility and respect for academic freedom. And the faculties (who should be more protective of their academic freedom) and the trustees (who have ultimate fiduciary and fiscal responsibility) appear to be fine with it.

Ackerman's first three reasons are right on, and they would hold true for any teach in.
But her fourth reason is poorly reasoned. It does not make sense to say, "I won't talk about X because Y is more important." The more logical reasoning is, "I will first talk about Y and *then* talk about X."
She confuses a set of priorities with a set of absolute commitments. If a man is being robbed and beaten, I'll probably stop the beating before the robbery. But that's a priority. I'm still committed to stopping the robbery.
(Of course, then there's the larger philosophical issue. If global warming will in the long run destroy *all* life in Africa, it might be the more pressing issue than increasing the quality of life of a single generation. I completely disagree with that, but it's an open argument that should be recognized as open by a philosophy teacher.)
Ackerman's argument can be applied to this entire blog. Is a teach-in a more pressing social concern than, say, health care or adjunct labor or the violence in Kenya or X or Y or Z? If not, then by her logic, we should all first only do what is most important, thus disregarding what William James called live and dead beliefs among individuals.
The point about the connections between the relatively harmless PETA people and the Animal Liberation Front is well taken. I thought so myself recently, when a group of animal rights people was going nuts over an elephant enclosure at a zoo here in Arizona. Essentially, what these activists want is to close down zoos and send the animals back to their native environments, or have nice people, like them, take over the job. Zoos, as you know, are concentration camps and the keepers are Nazis. In their letters and guest columns in the local press, the activists displayed an emotionalism that was rather creepy. I'm dreading the day when a bunch of customers at a burger joint are going to get gunned down by some hysterical vegetarian.
Regarding LB's comment -- Ackerman's first three reasons are good general reasons and make logical sense. Her fourth reason was personal and makes perfect sense, as well. Though she said in any case that she wouldn't teach climate change because it is not what her students signed up to study, that she is unqualified to teach about climate change, and that her students have better opportunities to learn it elsewhere, she added that if she were somehow to end up teaching subjects outside her field, there are ones she feels are more important, and those would crowd out climate change. That happens in most any course -- when an instructor puts together a syllabus every last thing cannot be included. It's just the way things are.
Reason 4: I do not think climate change is the most important social problem in the world.
A university administration with intelligence and integrity could have organized an interesting series of interdisciplinary events around these issues. The physics people could talk about atmospheric physics. The math and computer sciences people could take about mathematical models--what they are, their successes, and their failures. Electrical and mechanical engineering could discuss realistic energy alternatives. Economists could discuss the economic impact of ideas like shutting down all coal-fired electrical generation.
But "administrators" don't think in such terms. Managers and leaders do, and they seem to be very scarce among university top officials.
Thanks for the thoughtful criticism -- you've given us some things to think about. I did just want to point out to you that we have in the past written about colleges that are skeptical about (or have chosen not to participate in) some of the efforts you discuss; see this article from a year ago, for instance, on Yale's decision not to sign the presidents' pledge:
Still, we appreciate the constructive criticism, and your watchdog role, which we see as consistent with ours.
Doug Lederman
Inside Higher Ed
Many thanks for this, Doug!
This is much ado about nothing. I am a professor at a "notoriously" liberal campus... I did NOT discuss global climate change in my class because it had nothing to do with my course. In fact NO professors in my department discussed it... and we're a physics & astronomy department. Did leftist Nazi stormtroopers ransack our offices for not participating? NO. In fact ABSOLUTELY NOTHING happened at all... although our campus did indeed have MANY events related to climate change, not a single professor was pressured in any way whatsoever for not incorporating it into our courses. I checked with friends at other liberal institutions, and none of them included it in their courses, and there was no pressure nor negative repercussions for not participating...
It appears to me that Professor Ackerman got an email (oooh, scary intimidation and thought control), which she prompty ignored with ZERO result.. even she admits it was as much a nuisance as spam for Viagra.
So the professor got an email request which she ignored... there are indeed REAL instances of undue pressures on faculty and academic integrity... sorry, but this isn't one of them.
jab believes that this post is much ado about nothing, because nobody he knows either felt pressure to fit global warming into their class offerings, much less did they teach GW.
But it would be wrong to believe that that negates the crucial point of O'Connor's post.
It seems to me that the point is this: whoever does follow FtN's lead will talk about one side of the issue, not both.
Students will be taught, in essence, all the purported benefits of following the "green path", but not the costs.
And costs are important. Take, for example, the ban on DDT. Estimates are that the ban has costs hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of Third World lives per year owing to malaria.
A good discussion about banning DDT would be begin with this question: How many lives are too many to lose, before the ban is lifted? That question goes to costs, but is never asked, much less answered.
The same point can be made for global warming: FtN isn't interested in discussing the controversy over the assumptions that underly the green movement, viz. whether GW is manmade or not, a controversy which is alive and well -- though you'd never know it from reading the MSM, listening to NPR or from anything FtN has to say.
Nor is FtN interested in discussing the costs of implementing their agenda (as Bjorn Lomborg has been).
What FtN is sneaking into the curriculum is the antithesis of open debate: we're killing the planet, and must do something to save ourselves and the other creatures who inhabit Mother Earth. There is room in FtN's agenda for a presentation of alternative viewpoints or questioning of FtN's assumptions.
What FtN and other green groups are up to when they use this approach is indoctrination, pure and simple.
It is stealthy, and it is scary.
And it certainly isn't much ado about nothing.
I wrote: "There is room in FtN's agenda for a presentation of alternative viewpoints or questioning of FtN's assumptions."
I intended to write: "There is NO room in FtN's agenda for a presentation of alternative viewpoints or questioning of FtN's assumptions."
I apologize for the error.

Vertical pumps are a popular choice in the water industry because they provide many advantages. A vertical pump typically uses one-quarter of the floor space of a motor-driven horizontal pump. The driver is off the floor and less prone to flood damage. Since impellers are always submerged, they are self-priming and can start at full capacity.
Vertical pumps are designed to be "self-aligning" due to the rabbet fit between pump and driver, thus eliminating the need for precision shaft alignment. Notwithstanding these advantages, this article will focus on the need for alignment of vertical pumps.
Many assume that since the pump and driver have a rabbet fit that there is no misalignment. This is theoretically correct, since the excellent machining of the mating surfaces supposedly guarantees it. In practice, however, this is most often not true. Misalignment occurs on this type of drive as often as on horizontally mounted drive systems (Shaft Alignment Handbook, 3rd Edition, John Piotrowski, pg. 678).
Aligning this equipment to precision alignment tolerances will produce the same benefits that have long been proven to occur with horizontal drive machines, such as extended equipment life, increased efficiency and reduced vibration levels. With today's modern laser alignment systems, the process is greatly expedited, producing even greater savings through reduced labor costs
Consider the following when implementing an alignment program for vertical pumps.
Alignment Program Considerations
First, what technology will you use? Dial indicators have been a tried and true method alignment method for many years but have a steep learning curve and can be tedious under the best circumstances. Typical dial indicators have a resolution of .0001 in, but some modern laser alignment systems have 1 micron resolution. This resolution makes them extremely accurate while greatly simplifying and speeding up the precision alignment process with easy-to-understand graphical results and instructions that guide the user through the alignment process. They also provide reporting and documentation capabilities.
Figure 1. Motor flange setup screen from a laser tool for a vertical pump alignment application.
Figure 2. Results screen with shim corrections for flange bolt locations from a laser tool.
Another consideration is what coupling type is used. Vertical applications that use flexible style couplings are the most straightforward. Multistage vertical turbine pumps have rigid type couplings. When installed, this coupling type not only transfers torque from the driver to the pump, but it is also adjusted axially to "lift" the entire pump shaft assembly to set the impeller clearances in the bowl. Once the proper lift is set for impeller clearances, the coupling is assembled and becomes rigid. In other words, there is no flex once the coupling is installed. Even these types of alignments can be expedited in a timely manner with some of today's laser systems.

Comments about Haynes Chevrolet Trailblazer/GMC Envoy '02-'09 Repair Manual:
I have been using Hayne's books since before i could drive and they are still a great series of manuals. They tell you how to fix most problems on your vehicle step by step. The only thing that is any different, they say things "are out of the scope of this manual. See a technician." Cars are certainly more complex than they were 15 years ago but there are things that a back yard mechanic could do that are not covered. Some are not even mentioned. They do not go into great detail about the A/C components for instance. Still a great set of books and they do go in depth enough to fix most problems. Still absolutely recommend them.

Q:How can I adjust engine idle without having the dealer do it?
1 answer
A:Adjusting your idle is relatively easy, with the same basic procedure for any car. However, be sure to check the specifications for your car before doing any of your own maintenance. Things You will Need: Screwdriver. Instructions: 1. Start your car and allow it to cycle through at least one period of going through a higher RPM rate. This will ensure that the engine is completely warmed up and you will be able to adjust the idle properly. It is important to allow the engine to warm up because you will be driving your car mostly at that condition. While the engine is warming, you can pop the hood of your car and prop it open. 2. Locate the throttle body. You can recognize it by tracing your air intake hose as it exits the air filter. The next part that the air hoses connect to is a metal part called the throttle body. Look on the sides of the throttle body until you locate a screw or a rubber casing that houses a screw. This screw is how you adjust your idle. 3. Remove the rubber casing for the idle switch by prying it off with a screwdriver. This casing is usually installed by manufacturers but is not needed for the performance of the idle switch. If your idle has been adjusted before, then there will be no covering over the screw. 4. Disconnect the idle air adjustment valve, which regulates whether the idle opens or closes depending on the air intake. Disconnect the valve by locating the electrical connector behind the throttle body. Be careful not to touch any hot engine parts while working on the idle. 5. Turn the idle screw, now exposed from the protective rubber coating, in order to adjust the idle. Loosen the screw in a counter-clockwise fashion to increase idle speed or tighten it in a clockwise manner in order to decrease the idle speed. Ideally, you will want the idle to rest at 650 RPM. 6. Reconnect the idle air controller valve electrical connection. Lower the hood and turn your car off. For any further assistance, please feel free to call us at: 1-877-238-2623 or visit the nearest Advance Auto Parts store and one of our Parts Pros will gladly assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

This morning Nokia launched its new Lumia 625 smartphone, which aims to make 4G affordable, and we had the chance to play with it at a London launch. This 4.7-inch smartphone packs 4G as well as great features such as Nokia Smart Camera, and will cost around £200 before tax when it launches in early September.
The Lumia 625 sits between the Lumia 620 and Lumia 720 in terms of cost, making it one of the cheapest 4G phones around. With 4G coverage quickly spreading across the UK, being future-proofed is increasingly important, and it's good that you now don't have to splash out on a top-end device. That will be the main draw for the Lumia 625, and it's good that you don't have to sacrifice on screen size or quality either.
Lumia 625 Design
The Lumia 625 uses the same vibrant, colourful design we know and love from the likes of the Lumia 520, Lumia 620 and Lumia 720, rather than the sleek silver finish of the Lumia 925. Orange, green, red, white and black covers will be available at launch and they're interchangeable, so don't worry if you fancy changing the colour depending on your mood.
And while the Lumia 625 isn't exactly thin and light, it's also far from the chunkiest Lumia with a 9.15mm body that weighs 159g.
Lumia 625 Screen
That 4.7-inch screen is confusingly much larger than the Lumia 620's 3.8-inch display, but will be great news for anyone hoping to stream video using their super-speedy 4G connection. The 800 x 480 resolution gives a 201ppi density, keeping images reasonably sharp. We found we could comfortably browse the web, with text appearing crisp even when zoomed out.
Although the screen isn't quite as rich and vibrant as the coverings, it's bright enough to ward off strong glare and the photos we checked out look good.
Lumia 625 Features
The five megapixel camera may lack the PureView technology, with this being a more budget device than the Lumia 925 etc, but the Lumia 625 will be the first lower-end Lumia phone to pack Nokia Smart Camera, which takes seven shots in quick succession and combines them to create dramatic action shots or simply produce the best possible shot. That's only slightly cut back from the likes of the Lumia 925, which takes ten shots.
A front-facing VGA lens is big-standard but should be perfectly fine for chatting online. You also get Nokia Music and Here Maps, but you lose NFC support and Nokia City Lens which we've seen on recent devices.
The Nokia Lumia 625 is available in the UK from early September.

TVA Agrees to Shut Down 18 Coal-Fired Boilers and Curb Emissions
Published: April 15, 2011
(Page 2 of 2)
"These units are among the first built by TVA and have served us well over the years. But as times change, TVA must adapt to meet future challenges," TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore told his board yesterday in Chattanooga, Tenn., where the majority of the board signed off on the plan, according to a statement. Installing needed pollution control equipment at these facilities would not be cost-effective, he said.
More News From ClimateWire
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said TVA's transition sends an important signal to other companies: "This not only can be done, this is being done," she told reporters yesterday.
"The message here," she said, "is that we don't have anything against coal, but we have to reduce the pollution that comes from coal to our air, to our water and on our land."
Other companies are already taking steps to move away from coal.
Other utilities shrink CO2 footprint
North Carolina-based Progress Energy, which announced a $13 billion merger with Duke Energy in January, was among the first out of the box to lay out plans to replace a significant number of older coal-fired units with natural gas. Three combined-cycle gas-burning plants are now under construction or in the planning stages, and Duke and Progress are also waiting for federal regulatory approvals for three new nuclear power stations.
For its part, Duke is among the largest coal users in the country, but if state regulators buy into its plans, company chairman Jim Rogers has said its portfolio will shift to more gas, nuclear and high-efficiency coal plants.
Atlanta-based Southern Co. also expects to get the green light to start construction on two nuclear power plants in Georgia this year. In Kemper County, Miss., Southern is building a coal gasification plant. Meanwhile, just outside of Atlanta, subsidiary Georgia Power is replacing coal-fired units with three 840-megawatt gas units.
The TVA deal put a variety of options on the table to move toward a cleaner energy future. It set up a framework for the construction of up to 4,000 megawatts of natural gas power plants to be part of the mix, according to EPA.
Another option under the settlement agreement would be to move toward burning woody biomass and other waste instead of coal -- though such biomass facilities have been a hot-button issue on Capitol Hill, as some groups question the carbon footprint of burning woody waste and say those plants could drive deforestation.
"There are certainly many ways that we can use biomass to replace fossil fuels including coal and get real reductions in life-threatening carbon dioxide pollution and still protect our natural resources," said Franz Matzner, legislative director for the Natural Resources Defense Council's Climate Center. "What remains to be seen is what is on the table here. ... We need to be very cautious with how we proceed with the catch-all 'biomass,'" he said.

Forgotten, But Not Lost, The Kavemen, One of Dallas's Many Great Garage Rockers of the '60s
The Kavemen were, from left: Roland Allen, Jimmy Allen, Rodney Vinyard, Tommy Fonseca, Bill Walden and Jerry Colwell
Longtime friends of the show know of my obsession with the local garage-rock scene of the mid-1960s; if and when I ever write a book ... Ah. Anyway. To the estimable list that includes, oh, The Chessmen, Kit and the Outlaws, Mouse and the Traps, Floyd Dakil, The Esquires, The Briks, Kenny & the Kasuals, The Mystics, The Gentlemen and The Exotics, for starters, please add another: The Kavemen.
Didn't know anything about them till a couple of days ago, when someone posted to YouTube the band's "I Feel The Same" -- which, turns out, is among just four songs the band recorded in '65. And all of them remained unreleased till just a few weeks ago, when Garage Hangover's Chas Kit found ex-wife of rhythm guitarist Tommy Fonseca, who lives in Mesquite and who let him post the acetates cut at the late, great landmark Sumet-Bernet Sound Studios. And they didn't cut 'em with just anyone, I discovered after making a few calls this afternoon.
Says Carlene Fonseca on Garage Hangover: "The band got together first as an instrumental group playing at Twilight Time Skating Rink in Dallas [and] for high school dances at H. Grady Spruce High School and E. B. Comstock Junior High." Carlene's a '69 grad of the Spruce, pride of Pleasant Grove. Kit adds that the band also played the Surfers A Go Go, a converted bowling alley at C.F. Hawn and Raynelle Ave., where Johnny Green and The Green Men were among the regulars.
I asked Angus Wynne if he remembered the Kavemen; "barely," he said. Angus suggested I call famed engineer Phil York, who told me he didn't get to Sumet-Burnet till '69. (York also said this afternoon he's working on his memoirs, which will include stories about these legendary late-night Rolling Stones sessions cut at Sumet-Burnet, which he happened to record.) York recommended I call the legendary engineer Bob Sullivan, his predecessor at Sumet-Burnet.

"I sure did do a session with the Kavemen," says Sullivan from his Oklahoma home. "I recorded all those bands -- The Chessmen, the Five American, Jon and Robin. I don't remember the personnel or what we did. But I remember the Kavemen. I thought it was an unusual name for band. That, and the 'K.' But I've been doing this since the 1940s, and I did so many of them ..." Like, say, Elvis Presley and Hank Williams at the Louisiana Hayride. And Merle Haggard. And Johnny Winter. And Bob Wills's final sessions. For starters.
So. Visit Kit's website, and download all four Kavemen songs -- "Can't You See," especially, a true gem even with its skips and pops.

The stunning and premature exit from the postseason has left the entire Cavaliers roster in flux. The GM is in the final year of his contract, the coach is almost assuredly out, not to mention the uncertainty surrounding the King and his court. Here is a look at the franchise's key figures and the likelihood they are still on the roster when training camp starts in the fall.
GM Danny Ferry Outlook: With little cap space, Ferry has overhauled the Cavaliers' roster the last two seasons with creative trades. He has given coach Mike Brown all the pieces he needed for a championship, but obviously it didn't work. Dan Gilbert gave his blessing for Ferry to continue adding payroll to win this season, knowing he might be stuck with a few bad contracts in a couple of years. Based on his recent comments, Gilbert might be upset enough to clear the deck of everyone -- including Ferry. Stay or go? Stay
Coach Mike Brown Whispers started after last season that Brown was in trouble after the Cavs lost to Orlando in the Eastern Conference finals. After the team regressed this season, Brown is assuredly out. He has been given every piece he could've asked for, yet still couldn't even deliver an NBA finals appearance, let alone a championship. His obsession with defense left the offense clumsy too many times. His rotations were inconsistent and left reserves unsure when -- or if -- they'd enter the game. LeBron James always seemed to merely tolerate his head coach, but their relationship appeared to deteriorate as the postseason progressed. Including the postseason, Brown is 314-167 in five years in Cleveland. He could very well be coaching in the NBA next season, but it won't be here. Stay or go? Go
Shaquille O'Neal He hinted earlier this season he'd like to return, but right now that's all in flux. The broken thumb came at the worst possible time, since he never seemed to find his rhythm in the playoffs following a fairly productive regular season. The most disappointing aspect is O'Neal never even got to do what he was brought here to do: match up with Dwight Howard in the Eastern Conference finals. O'Neal felt like a mercenary this season. He was reclusive, kept to himself and was nowhere to be found while rehabbing the thumb. The last two teams O'Neal has played for, the Cavs and the Phoenix Suns, both underachieved badly with him on the roster. Is it a coincidence? Hard to tell, but the Suns are back in the Western Conference finals without him. Stay or go? Go
Zydrunas Ilgauskas He'll never admit it publicly, but Ilgauskas was stung by how he was treated this season. He became a bench player for the first time in his career, he was stung by how Mike Brown handled the night he was supposed to become the franchise leader in games played and finally he was traded midseason for Antawn Jamison. Ilgauskas swallowed all those feelings and returned anyhow for a chance at a championship. He didn't get it and now will become a highly sought-after free agent, even though he turns 35 next month. Ilgauskas hinted at retirement before this season began, but his agent, Herb Rudoy, told me he was so overwhelmed by the interest around the league after he was released by Washington that he will almost assuredly play next season. Don't be surprised if he even receives a multiyear deal. It just won't come in Cleveland. Stay or go? Go
Mo Williams Drew the ire of fans and coaches for his erratic play the last two postseasons. Despite his scoring outburst in Game 6, Williams was awful offensively and even worse defensively. His liabilities are a big reason the Cavs struggled defending Rajon Rondo. The problem is his contract. Williams is signed through 2012, with a player option through 2013, worth $26 million. In order for the Cavs to move him, they'd have to take back a bad contract. Stay or go? Stay
Delonte West West lost his starting job to Anthony Parker because of off-court problems and was never able to regain it. Now he has a pending court case in Maryland on felony weapons charges and could be looking at jail time this summer. His attorney has done a masterful job of delaying the trial so West could play this season, but now it's time to face the judge. He is entering the final year of his deal next season and probably isn't a candidate to get traded. It's just a matter of how much jail time, if any, he'll receive and if he'll be out in time for training camp. Stay or go? Stay
LeBron James The summer Cavaliers fans have dreaded has officially started. No one has any idea what James is thinking right now, perhaps not even James himself. It won't be a surprise if James lands on an operating table to repair his elbow next week. He'll take the next seven weeks to recover and clear his head while weighing his options. Remember, he could still simply exercise the option on his current contract and go through all of this again next year. But the looming cuts in a new labor deal with the league will likely prevent that from happening. Despite New Yorkers' passionate pleas, the Knicks just aren't a viable option if James truly wants to win a championship. Even if he joined Chris Bosh in New York, the Knicks would still be at least a year or two away from being legitimate title contenders. If James is to leave, the team that gives him the best team to win now is Chicago. James called Derrick Rose one of the top three point guards in the league during their first-round playoff series, when he got an up-close look at just how close the Bulls are to contention. With Rose, Joakim Noah and Luol Deng, the addition of James would immediately make the Bulls the best team in the East. Not to mention, James could follow Michael Jordan's path and restore the glory to Bulls basketball. Knowing LeBron, he's going to draw this out and soak in the attention. At some point, Ferry -- provided he's still the GM -- will call James and ask him who he wants to be the coach. The answer likely isn't going to be Mike Brown. If James can hand-pick the next coach, if he wants Shaq back and believes they can win a championship together and if he feels any remorse for getting injured at the worst possible time, James just might be back after all. Then again, he's 25. If he signs another three-year deal and fails again with the Cavaliers, he's 28 and suddenly becoming Alex Rodriguez, who was the best player in baseball with no championships for much of his career. James may decide he's given Cleveland seven years and done all he can do. It just might be time to start over elsewhere. Stay or go? Go
