Steamboat City Council passes 1st reading of goat ordinance
August 4, 2011
Steamboat Springs — Editor's note: This story has been corrected from its original version. The current version of the ordinance does not include provisions for goats in condominium complexes and mobile home parks, nor does it require the use of biological fly control measures.
City Council President Cari Hermacinski couldn't quite control her giggling, and Councilman Walter Magill wouldn't be goaded into voting "yes," but the council passed the first reading a new goat ordinance Tuesday night that would allow more city residents to keep domestic goats in their backyards.
Council is on summer break and won't get back together to consider final approval of the ordinance until its next meeting on Sept. 6.
It was the language of the ordinance, not the content, that tickled Hermacinski's funny bone this week. She laughed audibly as she read the proposed ordinance into the record.
"I'm sorry, every time I read the words 'farm animals,' I get the giggles," Hermacinski said. "I was a huge supporter of the chicken ordinance. I like that we're supporting goats, too."
The city already allows goats on building lots of 1 acre or more in the residential estate zone district. The new ordinance would expand Steamboat's urban goat range to allow residents to have two to three domestic goats (excluding nursing kids up to 16 weeks old) in fenced enclosures with sufficient area to afford 200 square feet per animal anywhere single-family homes or duplexes are allowed.

The ordinance also establishes a one-time fee of $50 for backyard goat herders.
The value of urban goats as a means to control noxious weeds caught the attention of city Code Enforcement Officer Barb Wheeler more than two years ago and she has been researching the topic ever since.
City Planner Seth Lorson previously told the Steamboat Today that although the city is aware of only a few goats currently being kept in the city limits, the city is mindful of the growing interest in a sustainable lifestyle.
For the record, the language in the ordinance that inspired Hermacinski's mirth read: "An ordinance amending Chapter 26 of the Steamboat Springs Revised Municipal Code by adding a definition and use criteria for animals, goats; revising the definition of farm animal; amending the use table to permit animals, goats as a use with criteria and prohibit this use in certain zone districts …"
Magill said he didn't feel confident that most Steamboat residents were fully aware of the contents of the goat ordinance and said he would prefer to see it go forward as a test program.
Councilman Kenny Reisman asked Lorson if the goat enclosures could be built of barbed wire. Lorson replied that although that was not the intent of the ordinance it did not specifically preclude barbed wire. He offered to add prohibitive language before second reading.
Tuesday's voted passed, 6-1.
Lorson recommended a list of requirements of goat owners intended to mitigate any objections neighbors might have.
They include:
■ Enclosures and shelters shall be kept in a neat and sanitary condition at all times and must be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent the attraction of pests and offensive odors.
■ Pest control shall be required at all times.
■ Feed shall be stored in a bear-proof container if located outdoors.
■ Goats shall not be used for commercial purposes.
■ No slaughtering of animals shall be allowed on the property.

The staff of UK games developer Free Radical Design had a shock in the middle of December last year when they were paid and then told to go home. Only around 40 staff remained at the development house with no active projects, an uncertain future, and the administrators trying to find a solution.{ad}
Thankfully, it turns out to be good news for the 43 staff who remained at work. Administration company Resolve received a lot of interest about buying the highly-regarded development house and a sale has been confirmed. Free Radical Design is now owned by Crysis-developer Crytek.
Cameron Gunn, administrator at Resolve said:
The sale was relatively easy for us to achieve, there were several interested parties in the end, and we had to auction the business … The sale is a testament to the quality of the employees and the great reputation the company had built-up in the market-place over the last several years. Without that, the company would have been a difficult sale to gain.
The sale is a good fit for both companies. Crytek has one of the best game engines on the market and focuses on first-person shooters. Free Radical Design has a great reputation for developing first-person shooters with regards to the Timesplitters series. Working together we should see swift progress and hopefully a new game announcement before too long.

50% fail rate
Wow, that was discouraging...
I took the first 20 rounds (.45 ACP) I loaded to the range today and had 9 misfires. I had 2 magazines of 10 rounds each. The first one I loaded had 1 out of 10 fails and the other had 8 of the 10 misfire. These were not squibs. It felt and sounded like the firing pin hit a snap cap or a bullet with no powder load.
When I got home I deconstructed the duds. The primer didn't ignite the powder at all. Every round had a full charge. To rule out bad powder, I took a sample and ignited it (cast iron pot, long fire place match, outside...if that breaks some etiquette or safety rule I'll accept that).
I also policed and inspected the spent brass for signs of excessive pressure and, to the best of my knowledge, there were no signs of casing damage.
This leads me to two possibilities.
Either I did something wrong in seating the primer or the primers are bad.

A little more info would help us greatly in diagnosing the problem. Did the duds fire the primer? Did you try a second hammer strike on any of the duds?
Most likely it's a small procedure issue that can easily be fixed. Don't be discouraged; we'll figure it out for you.

could be a number of things, we really need more info. Are your primers seated in all the way? what are you useing for primers and powder? What's the charge, are they crimped? what bullet and OAL? Also what are you useing for dies and a press?

Did you inspect the primer pockets and flash holes, especially the flash holes if you tumbled them. Sounds odd that 8 out of 10 would not fire but I agree we need a bit more info. Can you post a pic of the "fired" primers.

95% of the time the problem will be high primers - not being seated all the way down in the pocket. The firing pin has spent most of it's energy pushing the primer deeper into the primer pocket.
The other 5% of the time the problem is mechanical - dirty firing pin channel, weak mainspring, etc...
If the primer ignites but the powder doesn't, the bullet will be kicked out of the case and will usually be lodged in the barrel/throat and unburned powder will be everywhere.

A friend brought over ten rounds he had made, which had failed to fire. The primers showed a little tiny mark from where the firing pin had lightly struck the primer. We reset the primers deeper and then he tried to fire them again.
Everyone worked just fine. For most of the fail to fire rounds that I have seen, the primer not being seated correctly seemed to be the problem.
Some other problems I have seen: These are my dads primers, I found them in the garage when I was cleaning.
I found this can of powder and it smelled pretty bad, but I thought it might be good, so I used it.
I would venture to say the primer is going to be the problem. Try to re-seat it a little deeper next time, then if they fail to fire, try to reset it deeper before disassembly.

There is a good chance the primers are not always set deep enough. I put my finished rounds in the plastic portion of a used factory ammo box with the primers up. This way they are easy to see 50 at a time and I can quickly run my finger over them to see if any are not seated deep enough. They should be a few thousands of an inch below the rim of the case. If the primers are flush with the case and not slightly recessed, the primer will get seated all the way when you try to fire them. Often they won't fire. Spending my time doing this quick check has allowed me to not get any failure to fire rounds.
One other thing is if you have a pistol with a reduced hammer spring, it is possible the primers you are using are too hard. I have one pistol with a lighter then normal hammer spring in it and any round using the hard CCI primers can give me problems including factory ammo with this pistol. I like using Winchester or Federal primers since they are a little softer to prevent any light strike problems.

Coyote WT,
Assuming the primers did not ignite, there are two basic categories of cause:
The cushioned firing pin blow comes in one of three flavors:
The failure to go into battery fully also comes in three flavors:
If your failures to fire don't include a way off-center firing pin strike, look to the first category.

wow! That is bad luck!
First, I would look at your fired cases. How do the firing pin marks look? Same as everybody elses you pick up at the range? If so, that basically rules out the gun.
Next, I would confirm the primers. I would load 10 in cases and try them. Sounds like you should get at least 1 which doesn't fire. If even 1 doesn't fire, I would call the primer maker and ask them to take them in return at their expense. Then of course try new primers.
If your primer strikes look shallow, then I would look at headspace issues and the firing pin.

On the ones that did not fire,what did the firing pin strike look like?A good dent,or wimpy?
And,as Uncle Nick mentioned.off center is significant,too.
My early handgun reloading adventures included not belling,or not sufficiently belling some 38 Super brass I fed to a 1911.It had a Clark bbl,headspaced on the case mouth.I used copper plated lead bullets.The case mouth shaved a little bullet metal forward.That shaving messed with the functional headspace,and so at times the slide was almost fully locked,but not quite.There is a little wiggle room in the disconnect,so the hammer would drop.
Unfortunately,at that point I also went down the velocity column,and picked a hot rod load of Blue Dot.
And,once I got to the range,I wanted to come home with empty brass.
I still have that Clark bbl in my junk drawer.The lugs set back on the half locked bbl.
I'd say,generally,if something about your handloads does not work,stop.
Ignition problems are also a fine way to lodge a bullet in the bore.Its a bummer to drive the bullet out sometimes.It is possible to batter the bullet so it gets tighter.
A squib doesn't make much noise,you might not notice it with ear protection.Then,you might react by racking the slide and shooting the next round.Two bullets in the barrel does not end well.
So,back from the side story:
You can look through the handgun,firing pin tunnel clean?
Dry snap much? Firing pin head can mushroom,then drag on the firing pin retainer plate.
Old gun? Get a spring and pin rebuild kit.You might have a limp hammer fall.Strut pin may be walking and dragging.
For about $20 you can get a box of 50 hardball factory loads.Try a couple mags.Zero problems? Maybe the gun is fine,but clean and lube it.Also,inspect the locking lug surfaces.
With your barrel out of the gun,drop several of your loads in the chamber.Do they fully chamber?Or do they stop short?
See,bullet dia a little too big(is it .451?) or the crimp bulging the case,etc can cause the round to stop short of headspacing on the case mouth.There is not an "anvil" so the strike energy goes into pushing the cartridge forward.
Did you use rifle primers by mistake?Cups are harder.
Are you handling the primers one at a time?Oily fingers are not good.
And,its been mentioned,high primers are just something to not do!
Clean,lube,inspect the gun.
Reloading,use universal decap die on the dirty brass,tumble till its clean.
Make sure the flash hole is clear and the primer pockets do not have crud in them.
Seat and crimp as two operations.Use a taper crimp or factory crimp collet die.There is often a crimp dia specified in the load book.
verify the rounds will drop full depth into your chamber.
No high primers.
Stop if it does not work.

answers to some of the questions
Thanks for everyone's quick response. Here are some of the answers I can provide:
1) I'm using a Lee Classic 4 station turret press with RCSB dies.
2) The duds did not fire the primer.
3) I didn't try dropping the hammer again (striker fire and didn't thing to reload a magazine or work the dud back in...I'll try that next time)
4) I didn't take a measurement of the expanded diameter and I'm not using a crimping tool.
5) I'm loading 5.9-6 grain of unique powder for a 230 gr bullet as the minimum listed in my Lymans.
Reading through everything I have a feeling I need to improve my primer seating technique for the next batch.
Here's a picture.

OUCH, 50% is not good. Good advice here, I agree with Unclenick and think the problem will be in there somewhere.
Don't get to discouraged just step back and rethink what you're doing. It will be some sort of little adjustment and then you'll be good to go. A little more info on what you built such as bullets used, col, and type of primers used. Good Luck and hang in there.

Sounds like progress.
I am a little curious about"I'm not using a crimping tool"
When you set up your seating die,do you screw it in till it bumps on the shellholder?
Im sure your RCBS seating die has a crimp function built in.If you are setting the die on the shellholder,you are crimping!!Probably way too much.
Try this:
Take a piece of your sized,belled brass,put it in the shell holder,ram up.
Screw your seating die body down till you just feel it contact the case.
Lock the die body.
You will have to re-adjust your bullet seating depth to correct LOA.
Load and seat all your bullets.You will still have some bell.
Now,back off your seating stem,and gradually lower the die body of your seating die as you cycle a round through.You will see your bell dis appear.Use your calipers to measure the dia at the case mouth as you crimp,With jacketed bullets,it may be just a touch,but with cast bullets,there will be a spec...it may be .470 but look it up,to crimp down to.
Gross over crimping,you may have done,and it would cause your problem.

OK,I looked at the pic.Note your dud is a light,off center strike,and your fired round is a strong center strike.
That indicates to me your pistol is semi-locked up as you are trying to fire.
As I described,I messed up a good 1911 that way.Do not keep doing that!
Check your locking surfaces for battering.
For a while,till this is resolved,make sure your slide is 100% fully fwd before you squeeze!
I suspect scraping bullet metal on the case mouth or not understanding crimping.
I suggest you add a Lee factory crimp die to the 4th station of your press.
Then just leave the RCBS seater set up backed off from the shell holder,to just seat,and crimp in the 4th die

bossman: Thanks for the encouragement. I'm already planning my next adjustments based on some great feedback hear. Based on some of the other experiences I've read about early efforts, I'm sure a lot of first timers have the same kind of issues until everything is dialed in.
HiBC: I think the seater does have a crimping function which may need some adjusting. I think I also need to be more diligent on my post production inspection. On second look and going back to my manual, I believe I do see signs of over crimping. Also, I double checked each round I ejected to make sure the bullet was, in fact, still in the cartridge. That's one horror story I don't need to star in

Tell us more about the actual gun. Does it fire off store bought ammo 100% of the time? Try some of your reloads in another .45 and see if you get the same results. We need to see if it is the reloads or the gun!

UtopiaTexasG19: Springfield XD has worked flawlessly since day one with factory (both new factory and factory remans). I don't have another .45 to use. I'm 100% sure my local range is NOT going to be ok with me testing hand loads in their rentals

As noted, your dud firing pin mark is well off-center. The primer has a anvil inside that is like an upside down tripod. When the firing pin indents the cup, the priming mix is supposed to be squashed between the center of the primer cup and the top center of the tripod to fire it. Your off-center mark looks like it could have missed the tripod tip completely. As mentioned, this is an indicator of incomplete lock-up, where the barrel has not got 100% up into position because the slide is not 100% forward, so something is preventing that. Check the second list of causes I gave.

I'll ask again......
What is the case diameter right at the case mouth -- of your loaded rounds?

I think that may be key, given the offset firing pin mark. Case mouth too fat. If it were just right, the gun would close all the way (unless it didn't like the particular bullet shape (still a possibility) or unless the bullet were seated too long for its nose profile). If the case mouth were too narrow, the gun would close completely and the cartridge would headspace on the extractor hook and fire, the way so many seem to do, but it could also cause high pressure if the chamber were at the short end of the range.

Unclenick: Thanks for the adjustment instructions. I'll start tinkering with that and see if I can get everything in line.
mehavey: I'll answer again that I didn't think to double check the measurements. I will make sure that I double check all of the measurement and compare them to the diagram in the manual for the next run.

Comments about KRK 10s Active Subwoofer:
My first experience with the KRK 10S was at a friend's studio. His setup includes the KRK 10S and two KRK Rockit 8 speakers. At the time (a couple years ago), I owned only the KRK Rockit 6 speakers. The sound quality of the subwoofer impressed me at the time. I was sold on the product just from limited studio sessions.
Fast-foward to present time, I finally purchased the 10S and incorporated it into my setup. The setup was easy. MusiciansFriend delivered it quickly! The manual explains a bunch of things that you should already know if you're investing in this unit.
The 10S has a crisp response and great range. It complements my KRK Rockit 6s very well. I am pleased that the subwoofer is capable of both shaking my apartment to pieces, or just softly filling out the bottom end for quieter listening levels.
Upon listening to my favorite tracks by bass-heavy artists, I anticipate that the 10S is going to be a great aid in my sound design process. Anybody that has a doubt about the necessity of a subwoofer for sound-design: I highly recommend it.
The KRK 10s looks great, sounds great, and doesn't completely break my bank account. I look forward to the coming months as the woofer breaks-in.
As a side note, the only other reviewer currently gives the 10s a less-than-stellar rating, but he is not rating the quality of the woofer... just venting his frustration with MusiciansFriend.

This sub replaced a stop-gap sub I had been using in my studio. I primarily write/remix/DJ dance music, and already had a set of the KRK Rokit 8's, so I purchased this to keep the brand/sound consistent.
My studio is in a spare bedroom, approximately 12x12, and this thing is almost too much for the room. When I first hooked it up, I thought I was being conservative by starting with the volume knob a tick under half, but that still shook half the house and drowned out my Rokit monitors, as I tend to write/mix at low volume levels. After some tuning/tweaking with the crossover and taking the volume way down, I was able to get it to sound really good (even if now still just a tad bass-heavy), though now I'm sure I will need to do some further treatment in my room with some bass traps and really spend some time dedicated to re-tuning the room again.
My specific room's issues aside, this thing seems like it would be a great addition to any small/mid-size studio. The bass is deep, clean, and accurate, as far as I can tell. At the very least, it is far more accurate than the old Yahama I was replacing. It reaches down in to the lower register with ease, and the crossover seems pretty accurate. It's not the best sub I've ever heard, and if I had to find something to complain about, it's that it is a little heavier/bigger than I expected a 10" sub to be. But for this price range and matching the brand/sound with my existing monitors, it gets the job done and I'm very happy with it. Just remember, in a smaller room, a little dab'll do ya just fine.

A University System of Georgia committee has named the University of Georgia Police Department one of the system's best organizations for customer service.
The department got a silver designation, the second-highest, in the system's Customer Service Awards program in the team category.
Even though the department's main job is to enforce the law, police administrators at UGA also emphasize that officers should simply be helpful, said Deborah Scott, customer service champion for the University System Board of Regents.
"There's another side to them, and they were able to show that in their nomination," Scott said.
The police department could also win another service award. After winning the university system accolade, the department will now compete with other state government organizations for a governor's customer service award, Scott said.
UGA police Chief Jimmy Williamson was happy to see his officers recognized for the good work they do, he said.
"I think people are becoming a little more aware of what officers do," he said.

"Everybody was caught up high on the mountain, running out of oxygen, then darkness and the storm came in. Up there, things fall apart quickly in subzero temperatures and zero visibility," says Viesturs, who assisted in search-and-rescue efforts.
Thirteen days later, after much discussion with his teammates and his wife and basecamp manager, Paula, the IMAX expedition made its way to the summit and finished its filming project.
"I wanted to show people that climbing is not a death wish, you can live to talk about it," Viesturs says. "If we ran away at that point, we would have left this gloom and pall hanging over the mountain. I wanted to turn that into something positive."
Life After 8,000-Meter Mountains
A couple months shy of 44 years, Viesturs feels he's as strong and smart a climber as he's ever been. He knows the completion of his ongoing quest to summit all 14 of the world's highest peaks remains to be seen, but hopes to accomplish it in the coming years.
Viesturs won't stop there, though. He still has more mountains to climb and says he might even see a future for himself outside the Himalayan region he's come to know so well over the past decade and a half. Canada, Alaska, Antarctica: A realm of endless opportunities for the veteran climber.
"Just because I've climbed the highest peaks doesn't mean the other mountains aren't as challenging or interesting," Viesturs says. "There are thousands of mountains on this planet I would love to go climb."
In climbing he claims to have found his fountain of youth, and he says if things go his way, he'll still be feeding his desire to scale mountains in his fifties, sixties, and seventies.
"I guess the hardest thing is to try to explain to people why we climb mountains," Viesturs says. "We seek to challenge ourselves, we love the companionship, we love the environment we're in.…These feelings are so rewarding that I want to experience them time and time again."

Mick Fanning is confident of getting his world surfing title defence back on track at Bells Beach.
The iconic Victorian break has held a special spot in Fanning's heart ever since he won his first world tour event here as a wildcard back in 2001.
He rang the famous bell again in 2012 and will again be one of the men to beat this year, despite sitting in 11th spot on the overall standings after the first two events at the Gold Coast and Margaret River.
"It hasn't been the greatest start but I've been working on some things and sometimes it takes a little bit to come to fruition," Fanning said on Wednesday.
"Hopefully I can turn that around at this event.
"Bells has always been a good event for me."
The men's Rip Curl Pro won't start before Thursday at the earliest, with conditions expected to peak over the Easter long weekend.
"The weekend looks pretty damned good so I'm really excited about that," said Fanning, who claimed his third world title in 2013.
"The key here is patience.
"Some people try and do a little bit too much, but it's all about slowing it down a little bit and ... then throwing everything at it when you can."
Fanning said he had experimenting with some new things over summer.
"It's just trying to spice it up a little bit," he said.
"I think this is my 12th or 13th year on tour now.
"You just try and re-invent yourself a little bit each and every year.
"It's more little things that I like to change and different approaches to the wave."

In the fabulous drama serial A Dance to the Music of Time we travel across five decades of upperclass life in Britain, from the 1920's onwards especially for two men Nicholas Jenkins and Kenneth Widmerpool. Based on the mammoth collection of twelve novels by Anthony Powell this serial could never hope to match up to the brilliance of the novels but was still a superb piece of work,.
Dennis Potter had once been commissioned to write a serial around A Dance to the Music of Time novels but could not condense the material enough to make it work for TV, indeed this version at 8 hours is a mere glimpse of the detail in the books.

|BILL BELICHICK Says he's over it
Familiar opponent rekindles familiar pain
FOXBOROUGH - You can say it was four years ago and has no bearing on today's game. You can say that one has nothing to do with the other.
But that is no fun, and it is not true for most of us.
The New York Giants play at Gillette Stadium today, and this is no ordinary game between a pair of Northeast Corridor rivals with matching 5-2 records.
It's the same two quarterbacks. It's the same two head coaches. It's the same two logos.
Obviously, a Patriots victory today won't make up for what happened in the desert in Arizona in February 2008, but there's no way this is just another game for the New England Patriots and their fans.
That's still Eli Manning dropping back to pass - just as he did on that hideous third and 5 (from his own 44) when David Tyree made the Velcro-helmet catch. It was the last catch of Tyree's football life and the beginning of the rest of our lives.
That's still Tom Coughlin, scowling on the sideline, game-planning to beat Bill Belichick once again.
That's still Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora chasing Tom Brady, and that's Kevin Faulk trying to protect Brady from harm in the Patriots backfield.
My favorite moment of Giant Week in Foxborough was Tuesday morning, when Belichick took to the podium and was peppered with 10 consecutive questions about Patriots players getting into trouble over the last couple of weeks.
Channel 7's hard-charging Jonathan Hall went after Belichick with a barrage of splitters, spitters, and curveballs, and the Hoodie kept fouling them off like Dustin Pedroia in one of his epic at-bats. Belichick sprinkled a couple of "no comments'' into his terse, two- and three-word answers. He was at once Nixonian and Naderesque.
And what finally broke the ice and got Belichick away from the Julian Edelman arrest?
A question about Super Bowl XLII.
Amazing. I never would have dreamed in a million years that Belichick would be almost relieved to be asked a question about the Super Bowl shocker in Glendale. But it happened.
He said he didn't reflect on the loss "much more than any other game.''
He said, "Whatever the thoughts were after the game, they've come, they've gone, and that's what it is. Can't change it.''
He also said, "I think we're pretty much over that.''
Coach has to say they're over it. It's what you do in sports. You move on to the next game, the next season.
But no one in New England is ever going to get over the Super Bowl loss to the Giants. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at perfection. Bob Kraft's History Boys were set to bump those annoying 1972 Dolphins from the record books. This was going to go down as the Greatest Football Team of All-Time. They were going to go 19-0.
Then it came apart in the final minute. The G-Men prevailed, history was derailed, and the Patriots haven't won a playoff game since confetti rained down on the heads of Messrs. Coughlin and Manning.
Today marks the first time the Patriots and Giants have faced off in a game that counts since they played the ultimate game in Arizona back when Barack Obama was still a Senator. There are only seven Patriots and 14 Giants left from Super Bowl XLII.
"That's a distant memory,'' said Brady. "There's not much you can take from that. This is an entirely different team that we have and that they have.''
All true. But it's all connected for fans. It's the laundry thing. Today's Patriots are related to Ron Burton and Steve Grogan and Drew Bledsoe and all the others who came before them. Individuals come and go, but the team is always the team. And what happened in 2008 is directly related to what is about to happen today.
The return of the Giants has sparked debate about the local medal platform of agony. Nominees include the 2010 Bruins' playoff fold against the Flyers, the Celtics' loss to the Lakers in Game 7 in 2010 after leading by 13 points, and the usual Red Sox nightmares: 1978 and Bucky Dent, 1986 and Bill Buckner, 2003 and Aaron Boone.
Time and success have a way of healing the old wounds. The Bruins' Stanley Cup championship last spring took the sting off the 2010 fold, and the Sox winning in 2004 and 2007 got a lot of the old goats off the hook.
The Patriots have enjoyed no cathartic moment since they folded in XLII. They have won a lot of games since Plaxico Burress beat Ellis Hobbs in the end zone, but they haven't won in the tournament, and that puts the loss to the Giants on the gold medal platform.
That's why today is more than just another game. It's Eli Manning and the New York Football Giants, and we are not over Super Bowl XLII.

Higher Order Logic Semantic Web Framework
From Semanticle
Welcome to Semanticle's distributed higher order logic inferencing store and framework for the Semantic Web (Web 3.0) implemented in Python and released as Open Source.
Semanticle is about developing ideas towards products which we believe and hope will increase the accessibility of Semantic Web technologies by making them easier and more productive to use.
For Developers
Our initial focus is developers, who face the greatest challenge of creating attractive and valuable applications built upon core Semantic Web technologies.
Streamlined Interfaces
Key to our objectives has been streamlining the interfaces to provide common semantics and syntax for the storage and querying of semantic data, rules and queries. Other features include enriched semantics, configuration management, logical inference and delivery services.
Logic and Inference
We also feel strongly that logic and inference are so fundamental to the successful exploitation of semantic data that these services should be foundational (rather than supplementary) to other Semantic Web technologies for data or schema definition and query.
For this reason our software implements a re-configured Semantic Stack Architecture serving as a framework founded on Higher Order Logic services. In addition we have added Content Delivery services based on the Visualization Pipe architecture.

TYLER (KYTX) - We're learning more about Tyler ISD's plans for Stewart Middle School.
District leaders want to turn the current middle school into a high school campus with a non-traditional education system.
"We feel good in what we have planned. We just need you to see the greatness and support us," said Orenthia Mason, School Board Vice President.
Tyler ISD school leaders stand in agreement that it's time to make a change to Stewart Middle School.
"The main point we want to stress is that this is an opportunity for students to truly excel," said Brad Spradlin, school board member.
The school district wants to change the middle school campus into the district's third high school campus. It would be called "A.T. Stewart Academy of Excellence."
Students who are currently at John Tyler and Robert E. Lee High School would be allowed to attend. However, the school curriculum would be a little different.
"We're looking at pulling students out of the high schools and allowing students to apply who are excited about putting more emphasis on their academics," said Mason.
But, before this would happen, the district would have to pass the upcoming $160 million school bond in May.
It would then take two years to plan for the new school.
"We want to give as many choices for students and opportunities for them to excel if they're not wanting the traditional high school program," said Gary Mooring, TISD Superintendent.
Once the new school is completed, students who live north of Highway 31 would be moved to Boulter Middle School. Students who live south would attend a new middle school that would be built in the southwest part of the city.
"It is hard to let go, nobody likes changes with babies. But school districts all over the United States are having to looking at how better we can serve our students," said Mason
Proposed programs include:
-College Readiness
-Fine Arts
-Job Readiness
-Language Arts
-Mentoring Programs
-Technology Programs
The new school would open in fall of 2015. School leaders said any renovations needed for the current Stewart Middle School campus would not come from bond funds.
The reason the school bond must pass is to allow for additional middle school construction to provide room for the Stewart Middle School students.

What's the go to ratio for long distance road work as I want to do another SR next year but on my mates new companies single/fixed frames.
Bike Forum
Singlespeed road gear Q
67-72 gear inches
69 inches
Cheers I'd have probably gone 42x16 70"? Is that from experience.
42x16 always worked fine for me.
42x18 on my old winter hack fixed wheel, but that was to deal with Derbyshire hills and make me spin the rest of the time.
On a fixie I'd use medium gear, 72". That was ok to take me round the Dingwall/Ullapool/Ledmore/Struie/Dingwall loop, and I'm an old git too.
For a freewheel bike, I'd aim for 65" for general pootling. My current bike is a converted 29er on 67" and that was nice for a quick zap around Orkney and my normal riding in the Highlands.
I want to stay well within my capabilities. 200/300/400/600 is tough enough with gears. So we reckon 42x16 will do.
42x16, or if you already have the rings, 48x18 provides marginally lower resistance. Fine for rolling country and will get you up a hill fixed. The gearing is 16.7 mph at 80rpm. You will struggle with anything approaching 30 mph. Fit a rear brake.
I think between 65" and 70" makes sense for fixed. I've done a variety of hilly audaxes on that. I don't want too big a gear, spinning is good. Yes, its worth having front and rear brakes, nice to control the speed on steep descents.
So we reckon 42x16 will do.
48:18 would be a better bet.

Yanks send Howard, Thurman to Draft
Former slugger, pitcher to represent Bombers
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
Howard, 70, has worked for the Yankees since 2000 as a special instructor and is a frequent presence at Legends Field in Tampa, Fla., where he helps the Yankees of tomorrow pursue their big league dreams.
The 1960 National League Rookie of the Year, the 6-foot-7 Howard -- nicknamed "Hondo" -- was a physically intimidating slugger who hit 382 Major League home runs and spent most of his 16-year career with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Senators.
Thurman, 33, was a first-round selection of the Montreal Expos in the 1994 draft. He currently serves as a Yankees scout in the Pacific Northwest.
Thurman appeared in 12 games (two starts) for the Yankees in 2002, going 1-0 with a 5.18 ERA, and pitched for three seasons in the club's farm system before retiring following the 2004 campaign. He held a career record of 26-36 in 105 Major League games.

After 42 years of reloading I to have better things to than loading 800 rounds of pistol rounds on a single stage press, but for someone starting out in the art of reloading, a single stage is the best way to learn. Or you could go with a LEE Classic Turret press and use it single stage until you get the jest of it then put the indexing rod back in it and load semi-progressive.
Good luck finding a press right now though.
It is the best of both worlds for a beginner and is a very versatile press.
It won't break the bank and will always be a good secondary press after you move to a auto-progressive of some kind.
I don't load for shotguns so I can't speak of that, but I've heard good things about MEC presses for that. To me shot shells don't cost enough to make me want to reload them.
But that's just me.

May 25, 2016 | China | | Photo : Getty|
Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai Shenhua are close to signing Brazilian midfielder Anderson Talisca from Benfica, according to sources.
The 22 year-old midfielder, who has already won five trophies at Benfica, is considered one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market.
He has been linked with a move to Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal in the past.
However, according to Portuguese newspapers, the former Bahia player is now close to making the move to China after Shanghai Shenhua agrees to pay Benfica €25 million for his service.

Imagine building single family homes – in rural or urban settings – faster and with fewer headaches. Imagine simplifying the way you build by simplifying the way your projects are planned, sourced and delivered; reducing your risks related to financing, insurance, subcontractors and weather-related issues; and freeing yourself from managing your build sites so you can spend more time managing other aspects of your business.
Our Manufacturer's modular construction solution makes it all possible – opening up a world of opportunity by allowing you to build high-quality homes in less time, with fewer risks and fewer headaches.
For decades, builders have been improving and shortening the construction process by incorporating factory assembled components like pre-hung doors, cabinet modules and roof trusses. Modern modular construction, with Morgan Homes, is just an extension of this evolution.
Our Manufacturer assembles larger components (known as 'modules') in a manufacturing facility utilizing the same materials and construction codes used in the traditional-built construction process, but with all the benefits of a controlled manufacturing environment and improved quality control systems.
Once the modules are completed, they are carefully transported to your construction site, and then quickly and easily assembled on your foundation. The result is a home that's well on its way to completion within 48 hours of arriving at your site.
- Speed of construction/faster return on investment. Modular construction allows for the building and the site work to be completed simultaneously, reducing the overall completion schedule by as much as 50%.
- Indoor construction. Assembly is independent of weather, which increases work efficiency and avoids damaged building material.
- Favorable pricing from suppliers. Large-scale manufacturers can effectively bargain with suppliers for discounts on materials.
- Ability to service remote locations. Particularly in countries in which potential markets may be located far from industrial centers, such as Canada, there can be much higher costs to build a site-built house in a remote area or an area experiencing a construction boom such as mining towns. Modular homes can be built in major towns and sold to regional areas.
- Low waste. With the same plans being constantly built, the manufacturer has records of exactly what quantity of materials are required for a given job. While waste from a site-built dwelling may typically fill several large dumpsters, construction of a modular dwelling generates much less waste, reducing overall cost.
- Environmentally friendly construction process. Modular construction reduces waste and site disturbance compared to site-built structures.
- Flexibility. Conventional buildings can be difficult to extend, however with a modular building you can simply add sections, or even entire floors.
- Healthier. Because modular homes are built in a factory, the materials are stored indoors in a controlled environment, eliminating the risk of mold, mildew, rust, and sun damage that can often lead to human respiratory problems. Traditional site-built homes are always at risk from these threats.

Do you remember when you became a mom? That special moment when the title was spoken and you answered? Maybe it was the first minute you held your baby in your arms and instantly changed your name. When it happens that we adopt a new part or personality (and she is called mom) we find a part of ourselves that's more charitable, forgiving, helpful, selfless, and full of hope for the future.
We also see a darker side. The side that wakes up with bags under her eyes and goes days without mascara. How do some mom's manage to make it look so easy? Humor. Being able to laugh at the moment while in the moment can make all the difference.
Author Rachel McClellan's new book, Confessions of a Cereal Mother, is full of stories, whit and wisdom every mother can relate to and use. Rachel has so graciously provided an excerpt and guest blog about her own expectations as a first time mother. I hope you enjoy it and pick up a copy of Confessions of a Cereal Mother for yourself or for a special mom in your life.
Take it away Rachel
First time moms are an interesting breed. They take so much upon themselves and think they can do it all. I remember when I was a new mom. I swore I would make my own child's baby food, and insisted I'd never feed my kids macaroni and cheese or hot dogs. I also vowed to never raise my voice to my children, have perfectly decorated kid's room, and to teach them to read before they turned four.
Unrealistic? Completely, but I didn't know that at the time. In this short excerpt from Confessions of a Cereal Mother, the mother hasn't quite learned how to take care of a newborn and pushes herself to exhaustion after trying to get her baby to sleep for hours. And of course she blames herself for not being able to live up to what she thinks are normal new mom expectations. How many of us can relate?
I feed the baby again, thinking that's what he needs. It takes a full hour to get him asleep. During this time, my mind wanders to a dark place. I don't know how much longer I can do this. My whole body hums with exhaustion, and I'm too tired to even cry. Something's wrong with me. I don't remember other moms complaining about how tired they are. Maybe I wasn't meant to be a mom. I'm clearly not strong enough.
My baby lets out a long sigh, and I know he's asleep. I lay him down and crawl back into bed. I can't sleep, however. I keep thinking I hear the baby crying. It's not long before my imagination becomes a reality.
Baby's awake.
But I can't move.
I stare into the darkness, begging to be a part of it.
Baby cries louder.
I wish the mattress would swallow me and take me to Alice's wonderland. Tim Burton's version. With Johnny Depp.
Suddenly I'm being elbowed. I remain still.
"The baby's crying," my husband mumbles.
I stay motionless. Dead.
Another nudge. "Wake up. The baby's crying," he says louder.
I'm a log, drifting in the calm waters on a high mountainous lake.
My husband sits up. He takes hold of my hand, lifts it into the air and then drops it. It flops to the bed. A dead fish.
Suddenly he's shaking me, his voice alert. "Wake up!"
Like Lazarus, my eyes open, and I can't help but laugh.
And then cry.
"What's going on?" my husband asks.
I choke on my tears. "I'm too exhausted. I've been up with the baby multiple times, and I'm going on days without much sleep. I can't do it anymore. I'm so sorry." I bury my face into my pillow.
"Why didn't you say something? I could've helped." He smooths my hair. "Get some rest. I'll take care of the baby." After a quick hug, he leaves.
The words "I failed" lull me to sleep as my eyes close on a cold, wet pillow.
Mommy Confessions
I finished reading this section and was instantly taken back to those days of no sleep, emotional exhaustion, and wearing a super cape (that I'd stitched together with my own expectations) that was two sizes too big. I remember crying because I was exhausted. I thought I knew what tired was before I had kids - I was fooling myself.
Just like Rachel, I got through those times and, now that my kids are all out of diapers, I look back - not with fondness - no, I look back with satisfaction. If I can survive that, I can survive anything.
I can hear you out there. You moms with teenagers. You're saying, "Just wait, Sweetie, you ain't seen nothin' yet."
I'd be so grateful if you'd take a second and share your own heroic mommy moment and how you made it through. Thanks! and Go Team Mom!!

I can offer what I know from my Aunt and Uncle who decided to go the RV route.
They retired, bought a smaller home, and bought a HUGE RV.
(I was personally concerned that they had joined a Rock and Rock band)
They had always had some type of RV through the years, so they knew what to expect.
But things changed. My aunt said it was too big for her to drive and park, and my Uncle was getting older and got tired of having to do all the driving. The RV was so big, with a car in tow, they had even more trouble.
My aunt said it wasn't much of a vacation for her.... cooking 3 meals a day, cleaning up in a small kitchen, no dishwasher.......mopping, vaccuming, trying to do laundry. And of course then there was the gas!
I'm not sure how much it cost to fill it up, because my Uncle fainted everytime he saw the total.
The payments were high, the insurance was high, gas was high, plus RV park fees, maintenance costs.....
My aunt said it wasn't much of a vacation experience for her.
So she totaled up all the expences and compared them to a nice cruise vacation, Hawaii vacation, or just a few weeks at different places they wanted to visit..
She said they would come out ahead to just drive a car, or even fly, to a vacation spot, get a nice hotel....and she didn't have to cook, clean, find a laundry, etc.
They sold the RV, didn't have the additional gas to buy, the extra insurance, and now they go where they want and enjoy being "pampered"

Every week, Tuesday-Friday, 11am-4pm, during the UC Berkeley Fall and Spring Semesters.
In 1977, at the age of 50, Esther Nisenthal Krinitz began creating works of fabric art to tell her story of survival during the Holocaust. Trained as a dressmaker but untrained in art, she created a collection of 36 fabric pictures of strong, vivid colors and striking details with a sense of folk-like realism. Meticulously stitched words beneath the pictures provide a narrative and the combined effect of story and art is powerful. While the pictures are visually pleasing, a closer examination reveals the shocking incongruity between the pastoral surroundings and human violence, terror and betrayal depicted.

Attracting the best and brightest students makes an important statement about a university and has a positive ripple effect for all faculty and students.
"Really bright students lift the level of the educational experience for everyone," said University President Milton Glick. "As you achieve a critical mass of these students, teachers begin to teach differently. This — and the fact that students learn from one another — leads to a more engaging and dynamic educational environment."
When Glick joined the University in 2006, he issued a challenge to recruit more National Merit Scholars. Now, only two years later, Nevada has met the college sponsorship requirements of the National Merit Scholarship Program.
To be named a sponsor school, the University enrolled a minimum of six National Merit finalists for two consecutive years, and those students selected the University as their first choice. The benefit is that Nevada will join the list of sponsor schools included as part of recruitment materials sent to students across the country who are contending for National Merit Scholarships.
This fall, it is anticipated the University's student body will include 17 National Merit Scholars, as well as 90 Presidential Scholars, which is a University of Nevada program established in the 1980s. Both programs set a high achievement standard for grade point average and performance on college entrance exams. To participate in the National Merit Scholarship Program, high school students must take the Preliminary SAT (PSAT).
For University sophomore Tyler Aas, the path to becoming a National Merit Scholar was set by his counselors and teachers at Reno High School.
"I took the PSAT — it was strongly pushed, especially by the English and math teachers who pushed it for students that performed well," said Aas, a mechanical engineering major.
The National Merit scholarship kept Aas on his path to Nevada.
National Merit Scholars receive a $15,000 annual scholarship and Presidential Scholars received a $5,000 annual scholarship. As a clear indication of the University's commitment to elevate the academic experience, these scholarships are funded through the University's financial aid and scholarship budget.
However, because many other universities offer scholarships, it takes more than financial commitment to recruit and enroll these students.
"We knew that if we could get these students on our campus and have them meet our faculty, we would have a very good chance of them choosing us," said Suzanne Bach, scholarship coordinator at Nevada. "They see our campus and our facilities, and they are impressed. We have them meet with professors in their area of interest and they see that our faculty members are genuinely interested in them as an individual."
National Merit Scholars are automatically enrolled in Nevada's Honors Program.
"We have about 500 students enrolled in the program, which includes about 140 welcomed to the program this fall," said Tamara Valentine, Honors Program director.
The program is one of about 1,000 across the country and, according to Valentine, "it is designed to allow students to explore and push the limits of their learning."
Honors sections are offered for many classes and honors students are introduced to undergraduate research, for which research awards are available. The program also offers an Honors Residential Scholars Program.
"It was nice being in the same community with other honors students," said Aas, who last year lived in the Argenta Hall wing dedicated to honors students. "We had similar classes and could consult each other. Just going into classes, we already knew other people."
"After spending a year in that community, I find it hard to see myself anywhere else without that program," said Aas.
National Merit Scholar Ray Hooft also lived in Argenta last year, in what is often called the honors "living, learning community."
"It was definitely helpful," said Hooft, a civil engineering major. "It was nice to interact with other honors students. Our lounge was always busy with people hanging out."
This academic year, the Honors Residential Scholars Program has been expanded to include a wing in Nye Hall.
To be part of the Honors Residential Scholars Program, students must enroll in a minimum of two honors classes each semester. However, Aas appreciated that faculty equally challenged students in his non-honors classes.
"The professors are just as enthusiastic," he said.
For these two National Merit Scholars, their first-year experience at the University left them looking forward to the year ahead. Both Aas and Hooft will live in the residence halls this year, although not as part of the Honors Residential Scholars Program.
Said Hooft: "This is most I've looked forward to starting school at any time of my life."

Audit faults Flower Hill's fiscal practices
The Village of Flower Hill adopted unreasonable estimates in budgets, threw out financial records that should have been kept and did not adequately control the fringe benefits it offered to its board of trustees, according to an audit by the state comptroller's office.
The audit, released Friday, found that village officials significantly underestimated revenues and overestimated expenditures in budgets from 2006-2007 to 2010-2011, creating $8.6 million in budget variances.
In one example, officials estimated building-permit fees at $70,000 for 2009-2010; instead, the revenue from such fees ended up being 10 times that number.
"These budgetary practices are misleading to taxpayers and may lead to fiscal stress," the report said.
In a written response, Mayor Elaine Phillips said that the village has already begun making changes.
The audit also found that the village's former clerk-treasurer, who has since retired, did not keep records of the bond money that applicants for building permits, road openings and the like deposited with the village, and unlawfully threw out many village records dated before January 2009. That left the village's CPA firm unable to say whether three years -- 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 -- of the village's financial records were accurate.
"Village officials cannot be assured that all village resources were accounted for or appropriately used," the audit said.
The audit also found that the village, which provided insurance to its mayor and trustees as a fringe benefit, did not ensure that all the types of insurance it paid for -- health, life or long-term care -- were in accordance with its law, nor did it ensure that only board members were covered, not their spouses as well.
Despite a requirement that independent contractors cannot assume police duties, such as code enforcement or building inspections, the audit found that independent contractors assumed both functions in the village.
The audit also suggested that the board create a capital-projects fund for multiyear projects, and that it stop appropriating more for the village's fund balance than is necessary. It also suggested that the village tighten access to its financial software by its treasurer, and establish auditing logs and separate user accounts.
Phillips said the board of trustees has worked to make budget estimates more accurate, is beefing up its accounting techniques and hiring employees to fill the roles taken by independent contractors. She said the board is continuing to discuss "an appropriate corrective action" regarding the issue of insurance paid for board members' spouses. She also said that the board voted last month to terminate "all village-paid fringe benefits to board members."
Auditors' "comments and suggestions have made the Village of Flower Hill a more viable and secure entity," Phillips wrote.

Labour MP: Forget sovereignty - I want UK to stay in EU because my BROTHER lives in France
A LABOUR MP has provoked outrage after insisting Britain's loss of sovereignty to Brussels "doesn't worry" her - and saying she wants us to stay in the EU because her BROTHER lives in France.
Labour MP Jess Phillips provoked fury online with her comments about the EU
Jess Phillips was branded "self-centered" and "out of touch" and was accused of betraying her position in parliament by furious critics, who raged: "And you wonder why MPs are held in such contempt."
The Birmingham Yardley MP initially posted a tweet of two Lego Darth Vader toys with the caption: "My twin nephews coming from France today. The life my brother has made there is a big reason why I want to remain."
But the statement was immediately seized upon by some of her followers, who argued it was not a good enough reason to keep 60 million people inside the Brussels club.
The Labour backbencher also sparked controversy after she implied to her 20,000 followers that Britain's loss of sovereignty to the EU is not a cause for concern.
The Birmingham MP said Britain should remain in the EU because her brother lives in France
@Robsainty @RoundLike @JohnRentoul also sovereignty doesn't worry me,— Jess Phillips MP (@jessphillips) February 15, 2016
When one user sarcastically tweeted in response "don't worry about the loss of sovereignty as long as your brother is OK", she replied: "Also, sovereignty doesn't worry me."
The remark provoked fury online at a time when the leave campaign has opened up a huge six per cent lead in the opinion polls.
Twitter users were quick to attack the MP for her stance, with many pointing out the irony of a politician seemingly not caring about the powers of the body she was elected to represent.
Sean Moran branded the MP "self-centred", raging: "Jess Phillips brother likes living in France so we obviously should vote to stay."
Britons could get a vote on our relationship with Brussels as early as this summer
Some users mocked her comments, suggesting we should stay in the EU because they like Camembert
Sovereignty doesn't worry me
One user tweeted: "So I should vote to REMAIN because your brother likes living in France. Is that the level of consideration?"
Another added: "Well you're only an MP, why would you care about parliamentary sovereignty?"
While Allen Starr raged: "1,000 years of history, two world wars and you don't give a toss about sovereignty. Utter disgrace!"
One user wrote: "It's the main reason I'll be voting 'out'…Labour totally out of touch with electorate."
And Mike Barrett said: "It may not worry you with your cushy 70k a year job but it worries us."
Others took a more mocked the statement, with Bruce Lawson quipping: "I like Parma ham, Camembert, Champagne and Rioja. So I'll vote to remain."
Another user then replied: "Good idea. Someone once said 'Bonjour' to me, so I'll vote to REMAIN."
The row erupted after a cross-party group of MPs today announced its bid to become the official leave campaign for the upcoming referendum battle.
The Grassroots Out movement, which is supported by politicians from the Tories, Labour, the DUP and UKIP has brought together rival groups to form a powerful force fighting for a Brexit.

The new millennium was shaping up pretty badly for club pioneer Pam Robinson. After a long dispute with a couple of NIMBY newcomers to her 'hood, she was forced to shut down Walter's Ice House, her beloved Durham Street bar. What's more, the longtime music fan was frustrated by Houston's limited array of nightlife options.
What's a woman to do? Well, if you're Robinson you reopen Walter's a few blocks away, this time around as a music venue as well as a bar. And then you buy Silky's next door and Mary Jane's across the street and call the whole thing Pamland Central -- which for a while was the closest thing Houston ever had to a Sixth Street.
Uniquely for Houston's far-flung, clique-ridden club scene, you had the option of digging blues at Silky's, country and rockabilly at Walter's and indie rock at Mary Jane's (which she redubbed Mary Jane's Fat Cat), all within spittin' distance of one another. While that phase is over -- Silky's closed about two years ago, and Walter's generally doesn't book the name roots acts it once did -- Walter's and Mary Jane's still play host to some of the most memorable shows in town. They've given the indie rock community a vital outlet for touring bands.

G.B. Shaw combines and satirizes the undying need for love and the obsessive urge to wage war, finding the militarism of warring nations the more objectionable target. One question Shaw raises in this early work is how can a swellheaded soldier get it into his mind that because he's a dashing figure on the field, he must by definition be a great ladies' man? That soldier is Sergius (John Byrd), a Bulgarian army major who wrecks his chances for promotion when he leads an ill-timed charge with a flourish. In the opposing ragtag Serbian army is a mild-mannered conscript from Switzerland with the unpronounceable name of Bluntschli (Sean Cox).
Back home in Bulgaria, Sergius' regiment has Bluntschli's on the run. Seeking safety, the Switzer stumbles into the room of Raina Petkoff (Tanya Raisa Mironowski), a member of one of Bulgaria's first families and Sergius' fiancée. At first Raina is repelled by the soldier's dirty face and torn uniform, but soon she takes pity. He's hungry and exhausted and seems barely able to handle a gun or sword. She loans him her father's coat and helps him escape.
Where Shaw takes us from here is the inevitable return of Bluntschli to the Petkoff home. The war is over, much to the dismay of Raina's ultrapatriotic parents, leaving the door open for Bluntschli to win Raina over. Doing so won't be easy, as she has soured on men, having discovered that Sergius instead loves her maid, Louka (Jennifer Bridge), a lovely young woman with dreams of joining the upper class. While adding numerous original comedic touches, Sally Norton's staging preserves Shaw's comic sensibilities, including his pronounced love of and support for socialism. Byrd offers Gene Wilder-like neuroses, Cox is levelheaded and likable, and Mironowski is a graceful, statuesque ingénue. Bridge shines as the headstrong, forward-thinking maid, and Bart Shattuck, Sharyn Case, and Rick Kopps provide ample comic support to the starring trio.

DNC chair Tim Kaine, in the midst of weighing a Virginia Senate race, finds himself in an awkward position over collective bargaining -- as political foes use the DNC's support of the pro-union rallies in Wisconsin to paint Kaine as too close to organized labor and likely to bring public sector unionism to Virginia
Virginia has no collective bargaining for state employees -- a fact that Americans for Limited Government's president William Wilson highlighted in a letter to Kaine today.
"The ultimate irony is that the DNC's reported support for the Wisconsin public employee union protest is occurring as you are reportedly meeting with Obama to discuss your potential run for U.S. Senate," wrote Wilson in the letter. "While I am certain that you will garner the support of the public employee unions, who have effectively used massive campaign donations to ensure that their pay is about twice as much as their counterparts in the private sector. I am equally certain that running as the proven big government candidate who is the picket of the public employee unions in Virginia will prove to be political disastrous."
