President Donald Trump's decision to back away from the Obama Administration's Clean Power Plan and other policies to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in fulfillment of America's commitment to the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement might be seen as bad news for the global environment. And it is. But the news is not quite as bad as many fear. Even if the President's actions slow progress toward the U.S. "nationally determined contribution" to the emissions reduction goals of the Paris Agreement – a cut of 26-28 percent by 2030 – that will not stop the overall downward trend in GHG emissions for several important reasons.
First, American Presidents have limited executive authority, meaning that a number of the climate change policies put in place by President Obama cannot be reversed with a stroke of President Trump's pen. Second, the shift away from coal as America's electricity generation fuel of choice will continue – driven by prior regulatory requirements and the economics of the energy marketplace. Third, many critical decisions that shape the carbon footprint of a society are made not by presidents and prime ministers but by mayors, governors (or other sub-national elected officials), and corporate leaders.
President Trump's March 28 Executive Order directs his EPA Administrator to "review" the prior administration's Clean Power Plan and "as soon as practicable, suspend, revise, or rescind" it. But this is not a simple process. The Clean Power Plan represents a regulatory strategy for implementing a Clean Air Act obligation to control emissions from any air pollutant found to "endanger public health and public welfare." The Supreme Court confirmed in Massachusetts v. EPA (2007) that this obligation is not discretionary with regard to greenhouse gas emissions.
Thus, the Trump EPA can change the strategy for responding to greenhouse gases but cannot walk away from its obligation to control them unless it reverses the "endangerment" finding issued by former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson in 2009. To undo this prior conclusion, current EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt would need to establish a new scientific foundation that would justify a different policy conclusion. Given the overwhelming scientific consensus that the build-up of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere threatens to produce various harmful effects – including sea level rise, increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes and other windstorms, changed rainfall patterns, as well as more frequent droughts, floods, and forest fires – such an effort would be quickly challenged in any number of courts and almost certainly overturned. Indeed, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence that the build-up of GHG emissions in the atmosphere is a problem, a "non-endangerment" conclusion would be an almost paradigmatic example of an "arbitrary and capricious" regulatory action. EPA will, therefore, almost certainly choose to revise the Clean Power Plan rather than dump it altogether.
In introducing his climate change executive order, President Trump promised that his actions would bring back American coal production and power generation. No such thing will happen. Hundreds of U.S. coal-fired power plants have been shut down in the past decade – most in response to the Obama Administration's Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. These plants will not be reopening.
Not only have coal-burning power plants been the target of numerous regulatory restrictions, they also now face stiff competition from cleaner-burning and cheaper natural gas power generation as well as rapidly expanding renewable power production. Nothing President Trump has done will reverse these trends. Indeed, given the momentum toward a clean energy future and the prospects that a future president will redirect the Trump climate change policies and restore the U.S. commitment to lower greenhouse gas emissions, no utility is going to invest in new coal-fired power plants, and many power generators will proceed with planned retirements of existing coal units. Simply put, the President's shifting of gears on climate change policy does not over-ride the broader economic logic for movement toward cleaner and cheaper energy options.
In the face of the President's disinterest in the Paris Agreement in particular and his hostility toward environmental regulation more broadly, leadership and political support for climate change action in the United States has shifted out of Washington. Of particular note, more than 200 mayors, 10 governors, and nearly 1700 business leaders have formed a coalition called America's Pledge that aims to ensure that the U.S. emissions reduction commitment is fulfilled. Led by California Governor Jerry Brown and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the participants in America's Pledge are pushing forward with climate action plans at the city, state, and corporate scales.
Some of these leaders, moreover, have expressed interest in formally "signing" the 2015 Paris Agreement if the United States ends up withdrawing. While there are constitutional limits to what sub-national jurisdictions can do in the international realm, legal work is underway to find a mechanism that would allow these mayors, governors, and CEOs to make a commitment to the goals of the Paris Agreement "to the full extent of their authority."
The breadth and depth of these non-federal-government climate change initiatives means that American greenhouse gas emissions will continue to decrease regardless of what energy policies the Trump Administration puts forward. In fact, one of the critical features of the climate change strategy that the world community agreed upon in Paris in 2015 was a shift from a top-down approach that relied upon national government actions to a bottom-up game plan for emissions reductions that called upon a much wider array of actors to join the effort to promote energy efficiency and a shift toward renewable power.
As it turns out, presidents and prime ministers don't have that much say over the day-to-day decisions that determine the carbon footprints of their societies. Mayors, governors, and CEOs are really the ones who make the critical choices about transportation options, housing and development patterns, product and production strategies, technology and infrastructure investments, and other decisions that determine the trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions.
Thus, while President Trump can take the United States out of a leadership role in the global effort to combat climate change, he will not be able to reverse the domestic momentum for action on climate change. His policies may slow the pace of U.S. emissions reductions, but movement toward a decarbonized energy future will continue.

To many environmental law veterans, the name of the Cuyahoga River triggers memories. The 1969 fire on that River galvanized major reforms to the water pollution laws of the United States.
As I sit in my 36th floor office and look out the windows in several directions, I can see most of the upper Cuyahoga River course through the "Industrial Flats" as it winds from the Cleveland Harbor north on Lake Erie to the large Arcelor Mittal steel plant nearly six miles downriver. Known as the "crooked river" by Indian lore, it has many oxbows and switchbacks with colorful names like "Collision Bend" and "Irishtown Flats". Home to rowing teams, large tugs, iron ore freighters, and sand and gravel barges, it is a busy river requiring constant upkeep through dredging.
The Cuyahoga River has made remarkable progress since the 1969 fire, with many targeting the fifty-year anniversary of the fire for the removal of its "impaired" classification. But the River still suffers from years of industrial and municipal sewage disposal. Although a variety of fish have returned, it should not be surprising to know that slightly elevated PCBs remain in the sediments, a fact that complicates the dredging and disposal of the spoils. Therein lies the newest chapter in the River's history.
Congress has funded the dredging of the Cuyahoga River for nearly 40 years and, in 2015, allocated resources to the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for that year. Accordingly, the Corps filed an application with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) for a water quality certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act before commencement of the dredging project. The OEPA, concerned over elevated levels of PCBs in some of the dredging spoils, authorized the dredging to proceed, provided the Corps disposed of all the dredged material in on-site "confined disposal facilities" (CDFs). Based on sampling and analysis it conducted, the Corps agreed to utilize a CDF for the sediments dredged from the Cleveland Harbor, but objected to the required use of a CDF for the spoils coming from the "Upper Channel" of the River. Calculating what it called a "Federal Standard" to identify less costly alternatives, the Corps proposed instead to use "open lake disposal" for those materials, which immediately drew the opposition of the OEPA and Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The Corps argued that the use of a CDF for those spoils would add nearly $1,300,000 to the cost of the project. The Court wanted the "Federal Standard" to override Ohio's anti-degradation water quality rules and other initiatives designed to improve the health of Lake Erie. Instead of an administrative appeal of the OEPA conditional certification, the Corps gave the State an ultimatum – either find a "non-federal source" for the added costs or forfeit the Congressionally authorized dredging. Because of the potential dire economic consequences to the steel mill and other businesses, the State sued the Corps and obtained a preliminary injunction. The District Court sided with the State and ordered the dredging to commence, with the responsibility for the incremental costs to be determined in subsequent proceedings.
On May 5, 2017, the District Court issued a 52-page Opinion finding that the Corps' actions were "arbitrary and capricious" under the Administrative Procedure Act. State of Ohio v. The United States Army Corps of Engineers, U.S.D.C. N.D.Ohio Case No. 1:15 – CV 629. Among other things, the Court found that the Corps' elevation of its so-called "Federal Standard" to supersede duly promulgated water quality standards of Ohio exceeded the Corps' authority. The Corps could not make up its own rules to evade its obligations to comply with properly adopted environmental standards or to fulfill Congressional mandates to dredge the entirety of the Cuyahoga navigation channel and use a CDF to manage the spoils. Accordingly, the District Court ruled that the Corps must absorb the added costs of the on-land CDF disposal.

Bob Sussman is a former high-ranking Obama and Clinton EPA official with a stellar academic and professional background. He recently published in Inside EPA a thought-provoking piece entitled "Trump's Tortured Maneuvering on Climate Change."
No matter what your views on climate, Bob's piece is worth reading. I find much to agree with in Bob's observations, but would respectfully disagree with one.
Focusing on the president's March 28 Executive Order (EO), Bob raises the valid question of why Mr. Trump touted it on job-saving, energy independence grounds. Bob makes a strong case (as if he really needed to) that coal mining jobs are dwindling due to market forces and that the U.S. energy outlook is just fine.
Bob posits that Trump's job-energy independence focus reveals a divide and major discomfort within the Administration on whether and how much to deny that humans are involved with climate change. He notes that the March 28 Order side-steps any position on both the "Endangerment Finding" and the Paris Accords.
So far so good. My respectful disagreement relates to Bob's argument that the Trump EPA would have a difficult time sustaining major cutbacks to the Obama Clean Power Plan (CPP) on judicial review. He speculates that a new Trump CPP might simply retain "building block 1" (plant efficiency improvements) from the 3-block "beyond-the-fenceline" Obama CPP. He argues that "the courts may well balk at this approach as a contrived effort to duck the challenge of climate change by taking refuge in narrow legal arguments."
Here is why I disagree:
a. Following the 2007 Supreme Court Massachusetts ruling and EPA's subsequent Endangerment Finding, EPA is not required by the Clean Air Act (CAA) to issue GHG rules with any particular degree of stringency – EPA must just issue rules.
b. The "beyond-the-fenceline" features of the Obama CPP are based upon truly adventurous interpretations of the words of the CAA. There is certainly nothing in the CAA that requires those interpretations. (Recall the U.S. Supreme Court has taken the unprecedented step of staying the Obama CPP throughout the entire judicial review process.) Even if the D.C. Circuit were to uphold these interpretations, it would only be upholding the Obama EPA's discretion to adopt them; the Court could not rule that such interpretations were mandated by the CAA.
c. The Supreme Court and D.C. Circuit case law are clear on the following points:
i. A new administration is free to reverse rules issued by a prior administration based entirely upon policy preferences, even where there are no new facts or information, so long as the new administration adequately explains the basis for the reversal;
ii. There is no heightened standard of judicial review when an agency reverses course; and an agency need not convince the court that the reasons for the new policy are better than the reasons for the rejected one.
See my recent ACOEL blog for the citations to the cases.
d. Because the statutory interpretations supporting beyond-the-fenceline requirements are so adventurous (and stayed by the Supreme Court), it should be easy for the Trump EPA to defend a new CPP as a matter of policy based on CAA interpretations that are far less adventurous.
e. If and when the new CPP reaches the Supreme Court, it is difficult to see the Court departing from the precedents of the cases cited in my ACOEL blog, particularly with Justice Gorsuch filling Justice Scalia's seat.

Air | Clean Air Act | Energy | Environmental Protection Agency | Judicial Review
Here's a thought exercise: I'll give you a budget of 25 words (including conjunctions, articles, and all the other little ones). You use up a word by either deleting, adding, or replacing one in an existing federal environmental or natural resources statute. How much could you transform the field of practice with just those 25 word edits? The answer is, quite a lot.
When we think of statutory reform, we usually think big, right on up to "repeal and replace." But after more than 25 years of very little legislative action on federal environmental and natural resources statutes—the National Wildlife Refuge Improvement Act, Sustainable Fishing Act, and the recent Toxic Substances Control Act reforms are a few exceptions since the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments—much rides on the accumulations of judicial and agency interpretations of the meaning of a word here and a phrase there. As we enter a period of potential legislative volatility in this field, therefore, the rifle shot may be just as much in play as the nuclear bomb.
Like any statutory reform, rifle shots can make regulatory statutes either more or less regulatory. For example, one could add "including carbon dioxide" or "excluding carbon dioxide" in just the right place in the Clean Air Act and with those three words put an end to a lot of debate and litigation. Given the current political climate, however, it's reasonable to assume any rifle shot would be aimed at reducing regulatory impacts. But even with just 25 words in the clip, one could transform the impact of several regulatory programs before running out.
For example, delete the words "harm" and "harass" from the statutory definition of "take" in the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1532(19)) [LINK 1] and you have a very different regulatory program. Much if not most of the land use regulation impact under the ESA stems from the inclusion of those two words; without them, the ESA's prohibition of unpermitted take would restrict actions like hunting, killing, shooting, and wounding, but could not reach indirect "harming" from habitat modification. Of course, the interagency consultation program under Section 7 (16 U.S.C. 1536(a)(2)) [LINK 2] would still be in place, prohibiting federal agencies from taking actions that "jeopardize" the continued existence of species. But just add "substantially" before "jeopardize" and the practical effect of that prohibition is greatly reduced.
I've managed to transform the ESA, vastly reducing its regulatory impact, with just three word tweaks. Twenty-two to go. Here are some more examples. I'll let readers evaluate the impacts.
· Speaking of evaluating impacts, the environmental impact review process of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) can really slow things down (42 U.S.C. 4332(B)). [LINK 3] To "streamline" the process, add the word "direct" before "environmental impact" in subpart (C)(1), which would eliminate the current practice of requiring analysis of indirect and cumulative impacts, and delete subpart (C)(iii), which requires agencies to evaluate "alternatives to the proposed action," to remove a factor that bogs down much NEPA litigation. (Six more words down, sixteen to go.)
· Heard all the commotion about which "waters" are subject to the Clean Water Act? Clear that up by changing the statutory definition of "navigable waters" (33 U.S.C. 1362(7)) [LINK 4] to read "waters of the United States subject to navigation." That would be pretty extreme—it would remove most wetlands from jurisdiction—so one could control how far jurisdiction extends over wetlands by adding and their adjacent wetlands." This would draw the line much closer to navigable water bodies than current interpretations reflected in Supreme Court opinions and agency regulations—Rapanos and the Water of the United States Rule become history. (Seven more words down, nine to go.)
· And if you also want to put to rest the question whether the Clean Water Act applies to groundwater, edit the front end of the definition to read "surface waters." (Another word down, eight to go.)
· The Circuits are split over whether the Migratory Bird Treaty Act's list of prohibited activities (16 U.S.C. 703(a)), [LINK 5] which includes to "take" or "kill," sweeps within the statute's reach any "incidental" taking or killing—injury or mortality that is not the direct purpose of the activity, such as strikes by wind turbines. Easy to solve! Add the word "purposeful" before the list of prohibited activities. (Another word down, seven to go.)
· And, while we're at it, let's go ahead and add "excluding carbon dioxide" to the Clean Air Act definition of "air pollutant" (42 U.S.C. 7602(g)). [LINK 6] Adios, Clean Power Plan. (Three more words down, leaving just four to go.)
I'll leave it to readers to think about how to use the last four words. The point here is that the system of environmental and natural resources law has become quite fragile. With Congress out of the picture for so long, courts and agencies have built up an interpretation infrastructure under which a single word or phrase often carries a tremendous burden of substantive and procedural program implementation. As a consequence, a mere tweak here and there can have dramatic effects on the program.
Granted, anyone who closely follows the statutes tweaked above will quickly appreciate the impact of any of the tweaks, and I've chosen some powerful examples unlikely to slip by any such experts. But subtler tweaks buried deep in a larger bill could more easily fly below the radar.
It remains to be seen whether Congress takes this rifle shot approach or goes bigger. Rifle shots don't eliminate or "gut" entire programs, which may be the current congressional appetite, but the above examples show the potency of this approach. I for one will be keeping my eyes out for rifle shots in bills every bit as much as I will be following the big bomb reform efforts. Do not underestimate the power of the tweak!

President Trump wasted no time making good on his promise to reverse President Obama's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move U.S. energy policy towards cleaner energy sources. On January 24 Trump signed two executive memoranda, one inviting TransCanada to resubmit its application to build the 800,000 barrel a day Keystone XL pipeline from the Canadian oil sands to the Gulf Coast; the other directing the Army Corps of Engineers to expedite the review and approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) to carry approximately 500,000 barrels per day of crude oil from the Bakken shale in North Dakota to oil markets in the United States. But a close reading raises some sticky legal and economic issues that will have to be resolved before the oil starts flowing. [LINKS to Keystone and DAPL Memos]
In announcing the Keystone Memo, Trump said that approval was contingent on TransCanada's willingness to "renegotiate some of the terms" – including perhaps a commitment to use US steel and a share in any profits. The problem is that tar sands oil is not only the dirtiest fuel on the planet, it's also the most expensive to extract. To be profitable oil prices need to be above $80 per barrel; today they sit around $52, and it is unlikely they will rise much higher in the foreseeable future given the competition from shale oil and the fracking boom that is flooding the market in the US. The break-even point for Bakken shale oil is $29 per barrel. Seventeen major oil sands projects were canceled after oil prices crashed in 2014, as companies took major losses. Major investors in the oil sands have begun to leave, including Norway-based Statoil, which pulled out of the oil sands in December 2016. So cutting a deal to the President's liking may be harder than it looks.
Assuming the deal goes down, the Keystone Memo issues several directives to clear the way for the project. It directs the State Department to make a final decision within 60 days of the date TransCanada re-submits its application, and it further specifies that "to the maximum extent permitted by law" the final supplemental EIS issued in 2014 shall satisfy the requirements of NEPA as well as the consultation requirements of the Endangered Species Act, and "any other provision of law that requires executive department consultation or review." The Keystone Memo also directs the Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit 12 to summarily authorize the stream crossings needed to complete the project. These fast track measures are sure to be tested in court by the opponents who are not about to let their hard won victory be snatched away without a furious fight—in the courts as well as in the streets. While courts have ruled that the presidential permit itself is not reviewable, there is presumably no bar to challenging the decisions of the Corps and the Department of Interior that are necessary to complete the project.
The DAPL Memo directs the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of the Corps of Engineers to "review and approve in an expedited manner, to the extent permitted by law and as warranted, and with such conditions as are necessary or appropriate, requests for approvals to construct and operate the DAPL, including easements or rights-of-way to cross Federal areas under section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act." The Memo also instructs the Secretary to consider whether to rescind the memorandum issued by the Obama administration requiring preparation of an EIS on DAPL's request for an easement to cross Lake Oahe, and to deem the previously-issued Environmental Assessment sufficient to satisfy NEPA.
The Standing Rock protest over DAPL has become an historic confrontation that has united an Indigenous land-and-water movement and climate activism to confront a fossil-fuel corporation protected by a militarized police force. At one point in December thousands of veterans arrived to provide a safe space for the protesters who call themselves "water protectors." Litigation filed by the Standing Rock Tribe and other tribes challenging the Corps' issuance of permits under the Clean Water Act and Rivers and Harbors Act is pending in federal district court in the District of Columbia. Judge Boasberg denied a preliminary injunction but has yet to rule on the merits of the case. At the moment, the court is considering DAPL's motion for summary judgment to declare that the project already has all of the approvals it needs and the Corps should not be able to reverse its earlier decision that an EIS was not required. Though the Justice Department has vigorously opposed this move, it will be interesting to see whether the Trump administration adopts a different posture. In any event, the Tribe has raised serious questions about whether the Corps properly evaluated threats to its water supply intake and alternative routes that would lessen the risk. One of the allegations invokes environmental justice concerns arguing that the project was re-routed away from Bismarck in response to concerns about threats to its water supply. The Tribe has also raised novel questions about whether granting the easement would violate treaty rights under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie.
At the hearing on DAPL's motion for summary judgment, Judge Boasberg acknowledged the uncertainty about what the new administration might do but observed that "It's not my business to guess." For now the rest of us will have to guess at what the final outcome of this epic confrontation that has galvanized indigenous peoples from all over the world will be.

How to use template variables with Articles to add a dynamic image to your blog posts
In this lesson we look at how to set up categories for your blog posts.
In this lesson we tackle setting up links to archive your blog posts
This lesson shows you how to list the latest posts in your blog.
How to set up pagination with Articles
In this lesson we create the page for the single blog item. This lessons requires quite a lot of concentration, not because you will be doing anything unusual but because we will be getting stuck into quite a lot of HTML and CSS and it can get messy if you are not careful.
One problem you might encounter if you are duplicating blog posts a lot while setting up the system is links that don't work as expected. In this short lesson we iron out that glitch.
If you have a blog and you want to interact with your readers a good way to do this is via comments on your blog posts. This lesson shows you how to set up and style commenting.
This lesson shows you how to manage the comments and associated emails of your blog posts.
Comment systems can get abused by spammers, a good way to deal with this is by using recaptch. In this lesson we look at how to set that up.
Whatever your website is for you probably want to interact with your users. In this lesson we look at creating a custom form to get the information you want. Including text, textarea, checkbox, dropdown list and radio button inputs.

Not sure if this belongs in this section or in the lounge:)
Anyone ever hear of much less make one?? I just pulled one out of the oven. Found the recipe on the internet.
No never heard of it, what does it taste like?
Will it count as my daily serving of vegetables?
Oh..... yeah..... tomato fruit or vegetable?
Seriously is it like zucchini bread?
Well it's a 'heavy' cake something like a zucchini bread but still more cake like. I didn't actually taste it.....I cut in into 1 1/2" pieces and gave it to my neighbors. I found the raisins in it distracting......I'm not suppose to eat raisins. Someone threw away almost 100 - tiny marble to 'patio' sized - tomatoes plus about 2 doz baseball sized ones. I made the cake and a big gr tom pie. I've done the pie many times before....it's good. Tastes somewhat like an apple pie :) Still have enough to make at least one more cake or a smaller pie but have other important things to do tomorrow.

Should I be worried that my girlfriend goes out dancing a lot on the weekends. Weve been together for a while but her and her girlfriends go out to dance clubs basically every other weekend. When she goes she usually wears these really tight dresses. Just wondering if its just her going out with friends or something else.
Most Helpful Girl
Some girls go to clubs and just dance with each other or sit around and drink and gossip. It's really not to say that they pick up guys or that it's their motive. Like 90% of the time I go out it's solely to hang out with my friends and have fun with them. I'm single so meeting a guy is just a bonus but it's not the only reason I go. I really wouldn't be worried. As for her dressing... come on! Do you want her to go to a club dressed like a nun or like she's the odd one out with all her friends in cute dresses. She obviously wants to fit in with the rest.21|10|0
100% agree with everything you said. I don't see why a girl shouldn't go to a club just to have fun with her friends, I do it all the time. And of course we dress nicely like the rest if we go out, because after all, we are girls :-) Nothing to worry about for her boyfriend

Accompanying the debut of his fourth album I Decided, Rally was feeling wayyy up and blessed to host Big Sean's Toronto pop-up shop. Along with New York, L.A. and Detroit, Sean Don launched his all new merchandise which was inspired by the subject matter and lyrics from the album. Designing the limited-edition merch himself, the rapper took a holistic approach towards the project; a meaningful consideration of his message delivered through the album and merchandise.
No L's were taken and it looks like the underdog just turned into the wolf.

NEW DELHI: Actor Aamir Khan, joining the level headed discussion on an apparent "ascent in narrow mindedness", has shared that he felt "frightened" by various occurrences and that his wife Kiran Rao even recommended that they ought to leave the nation.
The decision BJP calls the remarks "doomsayer" and out of line.NDTV
"We won't let Aamir leave the nation, he is sheltered. This sort of remark impacted by a politically spurred battle affronts the individuals who have given such a great amount of honor to Aamir in India," said Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.
Kiren Rijiju, Junior Home Minister, said the quantity of passings in public occurrences had descend following the BJP came to power a year ago. "This is pointlessly discoloring the picture of the country," he said.
'Aamir Khan Safe in India, His Comments Insult to Fans,' Says Government of India
Talking at the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism grants on Monday, Aamir Khan said: "When I visit with Kiran at home, she says, 'if we move out of India?' That's an unfortunate and huge proclamation for Kiran to make. She fears for her youngster. She fears what the climate around us will be. She feels terrified to open the daily papers each day. That indicates that there is this feeling of developing restlessness, there is developing sadness separated from caution."'Aamir Khan Safe in India, His Comments Insult to Fans,' Says Government of India
Congress pioneer Rahul Gandhi, turning out in Aamir Khan's backing, said in tweets: "Rather than marking each one of the individuals who address the Govt and Modiji – as unpatriotic, against national or 'persuaded'. The Govt would improve to contact individuals to comprehend what's aggravating them. That is the best approach to take care of issues in India – not by harassing, debilitating and mishandling!"
Occurrences like assaults on realists, a horde executing over hamburger eating gossipy tidbits and questionable proclamations by focal pastors have been held up by restriction gatherings like the Congress as illustrations of prejudice under the present administration.
PM Narendra Modi, confronting inquiries amid his late trek to Britain, said: "India is focused on securing each subject's flexibility, and the law will bargain seriously with the individuals who are prejudiced."
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had before tweeted in backing of Aamir Khan, saying: "BJP ought to quit hushing voices through misuse and dangers. Ample opportunity has already past that Central government found a way to impart suspicion that all is well and good amongst individuals."

My partner and I have been together now for eight and a half years. He is 42 and a bit of a hairy bear and I am 38 and a bit thinner but not much. He's always known that my fantasy is to be spanked and dominated and not wanting to hurt me he's never indulged me in this particular fantasy until four nights ago. It was far better than I thought it would be. In fact, as I'm writing this, I'm having to sit on a cushion and even then I have to stand up every now and again as my arse is getting hotter by the second and is still bright red after he indulged me again last night.
It all started five nights ago when he was looking at a certain web site and he saw a video clip of a couple having sex and one of them being spanked. Knowing that was what turned me on, he saved it and told me about it the next day. I hurried home from work excited and turned on the computer. By the time I'd finished watching it the erection between my legs was screaming to be released from my trousers but for once I didn't even let myself have even the slightest rub. Later that same day I thanked him and told him how excited I had been but I wished there had been more spanking but I did like the redness of the man's backside. We had a few glasses of white wine whilst watching the telly that night and feeling tired and a little bit merry we went to bed early. As we lay there with our arms around each other and our legs entwined we began to lovingly kiss as our hands gently roamed around each others' backs. I could feel his erection digging into me as his stroking got a bit firmer. The atmosphere in the room shifted to great excitement as his hands travelled to the top of my buttocks and our kissing got hungrier. I started to massage his hairy arse with one of my hands as he took a hard grip of mine. I moaned out into his mouth with pleasure and then he slapped my arse. Once, twice three times. Our kissing turned frenzied as he kept continuously spanking me. The bed covers went flying on the floor and our bodies shined with sweat. The room was full of electricity and the sound of flesh slapping hard against wet flesh as we got hotter and hotter.
He stopped spanking me after a few minutes, put me on my back and climbed between my legs. Kneeling in front of me on the bed he put my ankles around his neck and took my hard dick in his moist mouth. I was delirious with lust as he took me all the way with his experienced mouth. At the same time he grabbed the hairs just below my bollocks and pulled on them.
'Oh fuck!' I shouted out as shards of pain shot through my body. Whilst he carried on sucking my dangerously-close-to-cumming cock he alternated between tugging at my pubic hair and spanking my now warmed up cheeks. He sat up with a sexy grin on his face.
'Suck my cock if you know what's good for you,' he ordered.
He could have asked for anything of me at that point, so eagerly I got on all fours in front of him and began to suck for all I was worth whilst fondling his big hairy nuts at the same time. I heard him moan as he bent forward with his dick still in my mouth and he carried on slapping my arse like he'd been doing it all his life.
'I want you to cum whilst I'm still spanking you,' he growled hoarsely as he lay down next to me.
This was a dream come true for me so, without hesitation, and still on all fours I got into position with my cock over his and with a tight grip stroked my cock up and down as he spanked me harder and faster by the minute.
'Oh shit, I'm going to cum!' I cried out.
The feeling was so powerful that my whole body shook and I clenched my eyes closed tightly as my partner had spread my cheeks and was now spanking my arsehole. A strong tingling feeling like I'd never experienced before travelled from my toes up my legs and into my tight bollocks. My cock exploded with lust sending spurt after spurt of my hot cum all over my partner's cock and bollocks. As soon as I was fully spent - which took ages - the spanking stopped.
'Lick my balls.' I was told. I got down between his legs and licked and sucked my own sweet cum of his hairy bollocks whilst he played with his cock until he shot his cum all over his belly and chest. I took his cock in my mouth and sucked him dry.
'God that was fucking great,' I said with a big smile on my face as we cuddled each other with our legs once more entwined. As we drifted off to sleep I felt a warm tingling feeling all over my very red backside.
Last night we repeated it all but the spanking was more severe and it included him using a leather belt on me before I sat on down his excited cock. Also we took photos as we went along to keep a record of how red my arse really did get. I saw them this morning and now I'm all horny again but I might have to wait a while as my arse is still glowing.

|Re: [OT] Configuration of 5 country sites and 1 web application base
|Tue, 14 Jun 2005 11:16:56 GMT
If the functionality is the same for all the sites and only the parameters are different, then one webapp makes sense. This will be acceptable if the same people control the look and functionality for all 5 domains/sites. If different parties have a decision in look/functionality of each site (even if the underlying functionality is the same) - it might be better to use multiple webapps. Or ... reexamine your URL space (the path part) in such a way that it is feasible to go from one webapp to multiple webapps without affecting any URLS. In that case, you can start with one webapp - but if the functionality diverges, you can refactor to a common base (if not already done in phase 1) and then let each webapp customize as needed. -Tim Allistair Crossley wrote: > Dear List, > > I'm after some external advice on how best to configure Tomcat and our web application. > > The web application is intended to run 5 international country web sites.

HTC One X+ – the successor of Android smartphone king, One X has been in rumor for quite a long time, however according to the recent newsbreak from GSMArena, the One X+ came in an official brochure from UK's Wireless carrier O2 with brief specifications and pricing.
As per the report, the upcoming mobile is listed as "Coming soon" in the O2 brochure. As per the specs listed on the O2 brochure, HTC One X+ will come with 64GB of internal storage, 1.7GHz quad-core processor, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, 8MP rear camera, and Beats Audio integration.
The smartphone will be priced at GBP 479.99 (Rs. 41,096) with pay as go you go plans, but given the huge VAT in UK and other European countries, we expect it to be priced lower when it debuts in India.
While other specs of the smartphone are still unclear, numerous reports suggest that the One X+ might come with 2GB of RAM, 2MP front camera, and the same 4.7-inch Super IPS LCD 2 display.
Reports from past citing anonymous XDA developer @Football4PDA who tweeted impressive specs for the possible HTC One X successor, a day before HTC 8X and 8S launched also suggested that the phone will be about 134 x 70 x 9.3 mm in size, weight in at 129 grams and pack the new Tegra 3+ AP37 1.6GHz quad-core / 1.7GHz single-core processor with 1GB of RAM and a 32GB ROM.
The tipster also said it will be skinned with HTC Sense 4.5 on top of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, while still sporting the One X 1,800 mAH battery.

A Pilot Study of Broccoli Sprout Extract in Patients With Invasive Breast Cancer
I. To determine whether isothiocyanate-rich broccoli sprout extract (ITC-BSE) modifies
biomarkers in breast tumor cells.
II. To determine whether the intervention alters proliferative and apoptotic markers (Ki-67
and cleaved caspase-3).
III. To determine whether the intervention down-regulates the expression of estrogen
receptor (ER).
IV. To determine whether the intervention induces NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone) 1 (NQO1)
I. To determine tolerability of ITC-BSE and compliance in breast cancer patients.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive broccoli sprout extract orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-14.
ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO QD on days 1-14.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacodynamics Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Basic Science
Changes in cell proliferation (Ki-67)
Appropriate transformation (such log transformation) will be used to achieve normality of the data. Results will be given as the back-transformed geometric means and 95% confidence intervals in order to preserve the units of measurement. Change in immunohistochemistry measures will be calculated for each individual and compared between treatment and placebo groups by use of independent samples t-test. If the normality could not be reached by transformation, Wilcoxon rank-sum test will be used, which considers both the direction and the magnitude of changes.

WASHINGTON – A child suffered a seizure after chewing on a cough-suppressing vapor patch, leading Novartis AG to recall the patches Monday. The Swiss drug company warned consumers to stop using its Triaminic Vapor Patches immediately.
The recalled patches include both the mentholated cherry and menthol scented versions sold by Novartis Consumer Health. They should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase for a full refund, the company said.
The patches contain camphor, eucalyptus oil and menthol and are meant to be applied to the chest or throat of children as young as 2 to allow vapors to reach the nose and mouth. The company said the placement of the patches can allow children to remove and place them in their mouths.
Ingesting camphor or eucalyptus oils can cause a burning sensation in the mouth, headache, nausea, vomiting or seizure. In the single reported case of a seizure, the child recovered that same day, the company said.
Other complaints associated with the patches include reports of blistering, bruising, scarring, hyperactivity and depigmentation, the company said.
Parents and other consumers with questions should contact Novartis at (800) 452-0051 or visit http://www.triaminic.com, the company said.
Any adverse reactions associated with the patches should be reported to the Food and Drug Administration through the agency's MedWatch program, either online at www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm or by telephone at (800) FDA-1088.
Novartis said it has sold more than 50 million Triaminic Vapor Patches since introducing them in 2000. They are sold through pharmacies and retail stores.

|[buildsystem] XDoclet
|Sat, 30 Aug 2003 15:04:27 GMT
I have finally been able to get XDoclet 1.2b2 to function without having to install the XDoclet plugin. I hope that once Maven supports plugin dependencies this will not be needed, but have to wait and see what the next Maven release contains to know for sure. I would like to hook XDoclet up for JMX MBean interface generation. I really like XDoclet and would like to make more use of it. I have checked in most of the support bits required to enable this, but have not finished as I wanted to give some notice first and see if there were any strong objections. Please let me know. --jason

Woman who survived bear attack says prayer, Jesus saved her: 'At peace' in bear's jaws
The woman suffered bite marks to the head, arm and leg and claw marks to her back in the weekend bear attack in Florida. But Terri Frana, 44, who was attacked in the garage of her home near Lake Mary, Fla., never believed she was going to die. In fact, she was at peace.
Call it the power of prayer.
A Seminole County woman who survived a bear attack over the weekend told WESH-Channel 2 that while in the jaws of a bear, she prayed and heard Jesus speak to her, saying "It's O.K. you will be at peace," the Orlando Sentinel is reporting.
Frana told WESH that the bear "started pulling me toward the woods. I just thought, 'God, please, this can't be the end. It can't end like this. ' I literally heard Jesus say to me, 'It's O.K., you will be at peace with us.'
"I replied, 'Please, my kids need me. Then the bear released my head. She let go of my head, and I knew I had to get up off that ground and get away. Otherwise, I was not going to make it."
Good thing that the FWC is on the case and they have successfully slaughtered five bears in order to keep the community "safe".
In Australia they cull the sharks. In Florida we shoot the bears.
Happy Pastover everybody!

Can I be a Pastafarian if I kill animals and eat them? If I join Seldom's tribe can I still hunt and eat meat? I'm confused. Will either group pick me up to go to services and ceremonies in a creepy van with tinted windows? I don't know what to do! (Chavez breaks down sobbing)

Aspects of the Secular Cantata in Late Baroque Italy (英語) ハードカバー – 2009/9/28
Kindle 端末は必要ありません。無料 Kindle アプリのいずれかをダウンロードすると、スマートフォン、タブレットPCで Kindle 本をお読みいただけます。
As shown by the ever-increasing volume of recordings, editions and performances of the vast repertory of secular cantatas for solo voice produced, primarily in Italy, in the second half of the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century, this long neglected genre has at last 'come of age'. However, scholarly interest is currently lagging behind musical practice: incredibly, there has been no general study of the Baroque cantata since Eugen Schmitz's handbook of 1914, and although many academic theses have examined microscopically the cantatas of individual composers, there has been little opportunity to view these against the broader canvas of the genre as a whole. The contributors in this volume choose aspects of the cantata relevant to their special interests in order to say new things about the works, whether historical, analytical, bibliographical, discographical or performance-based. The prime focus is on Italian-born composers working between 1650 and 1750 (thus not Handel), but the opportunity is also taken in one chapter (by Graham Sadler) to compare the French cantata tradition with its Italian parent in association with a startling new claim regarding the intended instrumentation. Many key figures are considered, among them Tomaso Albinoni, Giovanni Bononcini, Giovanni Legrenzi, Benedetto Marcello, Alessandro Scarlatti, Alessandro Stradella, Leonardo Vinci and Antonio Vivaldi. The poetic texts of the cantatas, all too often treated as being of little intrinsic interest, are given their due weight. Space is also found for discussions of the history of Baroque solo cantatas on disc and of the realization of the continuo in cantata arias - a topic more complex and contentious than may at first be apparent. The book aims to stimulate interest in, and to win converts to, this genre, which in its day equalled the instrumental sonata in importance, and in which more than a few composers invested a major part of their creativity.
'This collection of essays by an international group of writers is much to be welcomed in contributing to scholarly studies on a relatively neglected area of academic research. ...This volume repays close attention.' The Consort 'Focusing on the solo cantata, as conceived by Italian-born composers working between 1650 and 1750, the essays in this volume offer something for everyone, whether the reader is new to the genre, a seasoned performer, or a veteran historian... all of the essays offer important contributions to our understanding of the genre...' Early Music America 'The volume's strength is its diversified approach, which makes it useful on various levels. ... These essays collected together by Talbot stand as a milestone in modern studies on the cantata, a further essential advance in knowledge of this repertory...' Early Music商品の説明をすべて表示する

text: I think all the talk about Kate being annoying is just sad. We need to look at the bigger picture here. If you think about it, Kates personality may play a big part in how it all ends. It seems to me that shes been flying under the radar on the island because of how she is. I dont think its been easy for MIB to decide if Kates good or bad. I dont think Kate knows that for sure inside either. Jack and Sawyer seem to represent that about her. In other things as well, she did mess up in life(like many of the other people) but we have some background about her to suggest she was a pretty good young Kate(other than tring to steel, which seems to mean Jacob is aware of Kate). Her Step Dad loved her very much, as well as her friend Tom. I think Kate is ment to be frusterating because you never know what shes thinking, what her motives are but if you look closely their mostly good motives, just not always the best idea.IgivesaclaireIgivesaclaire 13:27, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

The son of businessman Mark Bouris has been found not guilty of accusations he tried to choke his on-off girlfriend and pulled her hair out.
Dane Bouris, 33, who runs the Morgans Boutique Hotel at Darlinghurst, maintained he never attacked the woman but rather she kicked him in the head and chest after he tried to hug her.
Alexandra Dankwa, a 23-year-old model, was living with Mr Bouris at Watsons Bay in Sydney's east at the time of the alleged attack in April. The pair continue to see one another, she told the Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday.
The night before the alleged assault, Mr Bouris had gone to watch the football with his brothers and father, the founder of Wizard Home Loans and host of the television series Celebrity Apprentice.
The accused had said he would be home that night but returned at 4pm the next day, intoxicated and "coming down", according to Ms Dankwa. The pair fought.
Ms Dankwa said later that evening she was collecting her belongings to leave when Mr Bouris pulled out three of her hair extensions, along with some of her natural hair.
He allegedly placed her in a headlock and called her a "f---ing bitch". Ms Dankwa said he later pinned her down on a bed and started choking her.
"I couldn't breathe," she said. "It got to the point where I couldn't even scream."
Ms Dankwa said the accused let go of her after she kicked him, but then complained of a headache, so she sarcastically offered him a paracetamol.
Police photographs taken that night do not show bruises on Ms Dankwa's neck. She did not return to the police station to show them the leg bruises she said emerged days later.
Ms Dankwa admitted to sending Mr Bouris a text message two days after the alleged assault saying her police statement was "wrong in many areas".
She told the court she sent that message because she felt at the time as if she was doing the wrong thing by her partner.
Giving evidence, Mr Bouris denied choking his girlfriend, holding her down or pulling her hair. He said had been kneeling, trying to give her a hug, when she lashed out.
"I remember being kicked to the chest about twice and to the head once," Mr Bouris said.
Magistrate Michael Barko said there was no independent evidence pointing toward hair pulling or choking. He said both witnesses had appeared honest and genuine but he was not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that either attack occurred.
Magistrate Barko dismissed the charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
