Biodiversity contributes to and depends on ecosystem structure and associated function. Ecosystem structure, such as the amount and type of tree cover, influences fundamental abiotic variables such as near-ground incoming solar radiation (e.g., Royer et al. 2011), which in turn affects species and associated biodiversity (e.g., Trotter et al. 2008). In many systems, foundational, dominant, or keystone species (or species groups) are important in determining biodiversity, often because of their role in determining ecosystem structure. At spatial scales ranging from ecosystems to regions and larger, structural characteristics of vegetation or other structurally dominant organisms such as corals can influence species diversity, whether focused on alpha diversity (mean species diversity at the habitat level), beta diversity (differentiation among habitats), or gamma diversity (total species diversity across a landscape; Whittaker 1960). Climate change is projected to alter ecosystems at broad scales. In many cases, this will be due to extreme climate events such as droughts, floods and hurricanes, the effects of which can be rapid (IPCC 2012). Consequently, rapid broad-scale changes in ecosystems are of increasing concern. Climate change can directly affect species physiology, phenology, and distribution, as highlighted throughout this book (e.g. Citations to chapters in this volume to be added). Changes in one species can also affect other species (Cahill et al. 2013), particularly when dominant or co-dominant species that collectively provide habitat for other species are impacted (e.g. tree canopy architecture in many forest ecosystems; coral species via their reefs). Several rapid ecological changes have occurred at spatial scales that are sufficiently broad enough to represent biome changes (Gonzalez et al. 2010, Settele et al. 2014; Fig. 1 A). Rapid broad-scale changes differ from other patterns of vegetation dynamics in that they result in a "crash" in one or more populations (Breshears et al. 2008) over large areas of the affected region. Rapid broad-scale changes triggered by climate can include mega-fires; drought-triggered tree die-off and associated pest and pathogen outbreaks (Breshears et al. 2005, Safranyik et al. 2007); and hurricanes and wind-throw events (IPCC 2012, 2014). These rapid broad-scale changes can rapidly alter other factors such as resultant microclimate, which in turn can affect numerous other species and associated biodiversity (Royer et al. 2011; Fig. 1B). Many examples of broad-scale changes are documented in the paleoecology literature (Settele et al. 2014), although the temporal resolution at which those events can be resolved is relatively coarse (often centuries or longer). Such broad-scale changes documented in the paleoecology literature provide examples of types of change are likely to be of increasing concern in the future (Settele et al. 2014). Contemporary events have highlighted that broad-scale changes can occur rapidly (years or less; Breshears et al. 2005, Gonzalez et al. 2010, Settele et al. 2014). These rapid broad-scale changes will have important consequences for biodiversity beyond the direct impacts of climate change through the cascading effects associated with ecosystem structural and functional changes. The objective of this chapter is to alert readers to recent and projected rapid ecosystem changes and their potential consequences for biodiversity at ecosystem, landscape and regional scales.
Biodiversity and climate change--Transforming the biosphere


Look at what all the people around me have accomplished. So many people seem to have their life figured out and I don't. There is really nothing very interesting about me but I look around and there are all these cool things that others do. I wish I could do that. These are the conversations that we have with our self. It is very much outward looking but inward lacking. It goes back to the old saying of a person floating in a life boat in the middle of the ocean and they are so thirsty – "Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink." What they forget is that it is pouring rain around them and there is water, but they are not looking in the right place. There is a thirst but not sure if they can or will.
I like the quote by H.D. Thoreau – "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." We can look at ourselves but we don't spend the time to see who we really are. We need to take the time and appreciate what we are and what we have done. Rather than looking only forward at those around us, let's look at ourselves within so we appreciate what we hold…and we do hold significance.
Can and will, are two important words. We replace the commitment part of the words, 'can' and 'will' with 'I can't or won't be able to do'. We talk ourselves out of trying because of the commitment part. Sometimes it is fear, sometimes it is being self-conscious of what others might think. Case in point is a conversation I just had this last week with a wonderful person. She was very conscious of her English because it was not her first language and she was holding back from speaking freely. She stated that in her home country, she had more confidence and now lacked it. Now speaking with her, she sounded fine. The problem was that she was so concerned with what people might think of her if she could not use the right words. Well, as much as we worry about people think, reality is that they really don't care. We are not the most important thing in other people's lives and we forget that.
•	Take time to really look at yourself and assess who you are. Rather than jumping into the negative side which is easy and convenient, take the time to start asking yourself what you do well or are good at. This is not easy to do because it is easy to gravitate to the negative. Ask those around you that you are close to, what you do well or what they like about you.
•	We always look around and see what others have but what we lack. Instead, decide on five things you do very well and start showcasing and focusing on that. Often times we don't take the time to realize what potential we have or what we can do. Silence the outer voice and work on what is within.
•	Listen to the words you chose. Ask those around you to listen to your words. Assess what you say and how you say it. If you find you are using words like shouldn't, won't be able to, or can't, then perhaps it is time to make some changes in your life. Change a word, change your life.
•	Realize that we often talk about problems or the limitations. How about taking the situation and adding a solution to it. It is easy to always speak in the problem tone but add something more to move things along. When you feel that you are dwelling in a problem, start adding to it.
•	Share your brand with others. Let others see the inner you that shines and don't worry about what others might think. If you are too afraid in sharing, you are denying the world the authentic you and the authentic you is worth sharing. Find the champions and enablers that will keep you true to your positive self-talk. They will not just say things to make you feel good but rather to make sure to be present as that reassuring voice.
•	Stop taking things too seriously. We make things bigger than what they are. Most people really don't remember or care what happens and those that do are likely not the ones we want to hold close.
Rather than negative self-talk, lets change that to meaningful talk. A conversation with ourselves about what we have and how we can move forward. Realize the horizon within to reach the horizon beyond!

I don't make a living with the writing. My last royalty cheque was $34 US…at least it was US$ 🙂 Rick Antonson and I were speaking and I am a member of the circle of poor authors 🙂 I guess my pay is in complements and that makes me happy. Thanks for pitching the event. I look forward to a catch up soon!

A Tribute to Anthony B "Tony" Brown
Tony Brown - age 77 - "slipped these surly bonds", on 18 Jan '16 while taking a snooze in a hospital near his Casper, Wyoming home. His heart 'just punched out' after a ten-day scramble to finally ease his evolved woes.
Tony had a passion and talent for seeking out bad guys and their stuff while flying an armed Mohawk thru the mountains and river gorges in the "twilight-battle zone" of southern Laos, circa '66/'67. When flying 'his wing', you best be in position to pop anyone - quick like! - who dared bushwhack him as he skimmed the deck looking for enemy sign. He was no less dedicated in protecting your butt when flying the deck in the enemy's wheelhouse.
Tony hung up his Army Spurs to fly commercial birds in '68 - and ferry OV-1 Mohawks for Grumman Aircraft, now and again. He was subsequently recruited - into Georgia's Army National Guard - to help train-up a fledging Mohawk unit in Winder, GA, circa '71/'72.
As XO, with 'Hawk bona fides from the ongoing war in SE Asia, he began 'stacking the deck' with trustworthy folk for his eventual Command in '73 thru '76. Under his command, the 158th MI Company (Avn)...with the tactical call sign "Rowdy"...was a "Can Do!", non-Mickey Mouse, high-spirited and adept outfit in both work and play...in that order.
He took great joy in out-maneuvering - and out-cherry picking the uninformed State bureaucrats who dared mess with his troops and mission. When all else failed, he'd bow-up his 6-foot. 5-inch frame...and suggest an ass-kicking session to settle the matter. Bottom line, his troops were going to be trained and motivated to conduct warfare - if called - as a proud and "Will Do" Unit...sans ANY, rear-echelon crap-olla. Period!
When his name comes up at future 'campfires', his legacy will spill forth in a flood of escapades and such that this obit hasn't room for. Believe me! Out!

A Great ROI: Meeting Enrollment for Clinical Trial Patient Recruitment
Matt Clacy, Director & Chief Commercial Officer at Paratus Clinical.
Clinical trial patient recruitment is an art, not a science. But that doesn't mean crunching numbers isn't a critical facet of successful enrollment.
Paratus Clinical recognized this from the start, as they began considering ways to recruit their patient population. They found a way to recruit as many participants as possible while also putting their sponsor's funding to use wisely.
In a recent interview, Paratus co-founder Matt Clacy shared how the Paratus team used a variety of recruitment methods. Applying an ROI analysis for each method led them to an interesting discovery.
You can see how this might work for your study — ask for a patient forecast with a guaranteed return on investment from Trialfacts. An example graphic is below.
For more details on how we helped Paratus meet patient enrollment, keep reading.
Paratus Clinical and the Acute Sinusitis Study
Matt Clacy is Director & Chief Commercial Officer at Paratus Clinical, bringing 20 years of clinical research experience to the company. Paratus, which Matt co-founded, provides clinical trial services for pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations, biotechnology companies, medical device companies and clinical sites. They provide services for the "smallest biotech" to the "biggest pharma" companies, Matt said.
As they geared up for a study on a new means for identifying acute sinusitis, Paratus needed a winning strategy for clinical trial patient recruitment.
The study goal was to test the efficacy of a new method for diagnosis of acute sinusitis. Matt told Trialfacts that the new device would allow a General Practitioner to run a test in just 20 minutes, once approved. The GP would know with "a much greater degree of certainty whether the patient had a bacterial sinus infection, and at that point, the doctor and patient would be more confident in the prescription of antibiotics or not."
Paratus was tasked with recruiting up to 100 study participants, which would compare the results from the new point of care device to the results that would be sent away to the lab for routine analysis.
Matt and his team knew the study would face a unique challenge from the beginning, mainly in distinguishing those with acute sinusitis and those with a chronic condition. Anyone who had symptoms of sinusitis for longer than four weeks or had been diagnosed with chronic sinusitis would not be eligible. This made the window for recruitment quite narrow.
At the crux of successful recruitment was a prescreening question posed to interested patients and designed to either qualify them or exclude them based on the acute vs chronic diagnosis. The major challenge, Matt said, was "people's inability to be screened with success digitally and even sometimes over the phone, prior to attending the visit. We needed to be less medical, more lay person when asking key questions."
At the same time, Paratus had to recruit the highest number of participants possible without going over the sponsor's limit.
To address these challenges and the unique demands of the study, Paratus took on a variety of clinical trial recruitment methods, including engaging with Trialfacts.
Getting a High ROI for Patient Recruitment
Matt and the Paratus team engaged with both Trialfacts and another clinical trial recruitment vendor. "We also did some leaflet drops in the local area, and we did our own internal outreach," Matt said.
Then, it was a matter of determining which approach had the best ROI for Paratus and their sponsor. "It's based on a return on investment for any vendor," Matt said of the way each approach was analyzed. "We look at the money that's been spent versus the revenue that is generated as a result of that." Process and customer service is also important, Matt said, "but the commercial return on investment is obviously absolutely critical to us and our sponsors as to whether it's a worthwhile investment."
So how did each patient recruitment avenue work for Paratus?
With the locally dropped flyers, Paratus enrolled only six participants in the study. "It's quite expensive and hasn't been very productive," Matt said. "We've done that for a couple of studies and not had a great response."
The secondary recruitment vendor referred 65 people to Paratus. "Of that, only 11 booked in and then only seven turned up," Matt reported. "It's not a great return on investment."
With Trialfacts, Paratus saw the best ROI by far. The Trialfacts team referred 54 screened patients, with 21 patients joining us for the in-person screening and 15 enrolling in the study.
"The return on investment was significant," Matt told us. "These were patients that we wouldn't have enrolled unless we'd engaged with you, so we were very pleased. Financially, it was a good return on investment."
Engaging in Due Diligence for the Highest ROI
Numbers like those above are a good indicator of a successful clinical trial patient recruitment process, but that's not all there is to it.
Behind the high ROI Trialfacts achieved for Paratus was a due diligence process that ensured the high engagement rate of prescreened potential participants. Due diligence and Trialfacts' tailored prescreening approach served as the foundation to this high return, giving Matt and his team clear expectations and the opportunity to give feedback ahead of time.
"I was pleasantly surprised at the way you guys approached costing, the development and the suggestion of the solution you were going to provide. There wasn't a standard proposal," Matt said of the initial due diligence process and the bespoke way in which Trialfacts considers each study for recruitment.
With that key process in place, we were not only able to provide Paratus with qualified candidates, but also make a detailed plan for how to go about recruitment based on the study's unique challenges. The final breakdown saw an overall enrollment rate of 28 percent
"The thing that we really liked was that of the 54 people that were pre-screened and booked into telephone consultations, we spoke to 49 of them, which is really significant," Matt said. "The dropout rate between pre-screening and communication was very, very low, which was excellent."
As you can see in the graphic below, one of the main factors that participants failed the online prescreening questionnaire was due to their recent diagnosis of chronic sinusitis — one of Matt's concerns from the start.
Much of the due diligence process is designed to get the prescreening questions exactly right and the excluding factors dialed in.
The result? A lower than average dropout rate. Paratus spoke to 49 of Trialfacts' 54 referrals, and 21 of the 26 who were booked for the in-person screening attended. As Matt said: "The number that were pre-screened versus the number we talked to was very high, much higher than anybody else."
Communicating for Better Results
If due diligence served as the foundation for a good ROI for Paratus, clear communication in the recruitment process facilitated a strong patient recruitment process.
"The development of the material was quick and the communication was fast," Matt told us in the interview. "Having gone through the whole experience with Trialfacts now, one of the things I like is the speed of communication and the engagement with us as a client."
Working primarily with Melinda Gomez, Trialfacts' New Client Coordinator, Matt and his team were able to stay updated with the recruitment process in real time. They provided feedback on the prescreening questionnaire, had ongoing access to the recruitment spreadsheet and saw when responses rolled in. "It's easy to pull metrics from your system in terms of the numbers and from the reporting," he said. "We reported back to the client and it was very easy to give feedback on how things were going through Trialfacts' advertising because your systems lent themselves very well to that."
"The communication is clear, it's easy to do, the development of the material happens in the timeline that you've given. The process, when we came in to do the actual advertising and the patient contact, was extremely obvious and well organized," Matt said. At the same time, the hands-on approach allowed Paratus to see how recruitment was going and make tweaks along the way, such as the moment when a number of screen fails were registered, Paratus suggested a change in the criteria questions which Trialfacts implemented immediately.
The net result was clear communication that facilitated Paratus' enrollment goal.
Paratus was able to use Trialfacts' referrals for a higher enrollment rate compared to its other strategies. As Matt made clear from the outset, it came down to the ROI for Paratus: "We'll advise sponsors to invest money on things that deliver, not just because they're cheap."

Federal Government to Track Hate Crimes against Sikhs
WUWM 89.7 FM | By Ann-Elise Henzl
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says the government will keep numbers on hate crimes against seven groups.They include Sikhs, Hindus, Arabs, Buddhists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Orthodox Christians.
The Associated Press broke the story Friday, after obtaining a copy of Holder's decision, before he released it to the public.
The news comes just a few days before the first the anniversary of the deadly shootings at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek. Six people were killed by a white supremacist, who turned the gun on himself after he was injured – and surrounded by – police.
Sikhs have long wanted the federal government to track hate crimes against them.
According to the AP, Holder also has announced a $500,000 grant for mental health and trauma services, for people affected by the shooting at the Oak Creek temple.

Penske Commercial Vehicles has delivered ten tailored MAN Truck & Bus TGM 15.290 4x4 trucks to body builder, HMA Materials Handling (HMA) in NSW.
In conjunction with local MAN Truck & Bus dealer, Hartwigs, the ten units have been fitted with hi-rail equipment that allows the trucks to drive both on the road and on rail tracks.
While on rail tracks, the 4x4 units drive through the rear wheels with the front wheel assembly lifted off the tracks and the hi-rail assembly engaged.
Equipped to carry up to six personnel, the spacious dual cab units also come complete with a Fassi crane in the rear to transport equipment between the truck and track.
"In addition to rail, MAN is a major supplier into the various essential services segments such as power, infrastructure maintenance, mining support, and airport equipment, to name a few," said Don Meluccy, regional sales manager, Penske Commercial Vehicles.
"Penske Commercial Vehicles and Hartwigs worked together to supply these bespoke units to HMA to meet the required specifications.
"These trucks are extremely versatile and unique, and projects such as this one allow us to showcase the flexibility of MAN while delivering maximum safety for occupants and other workers in the vicinity, low whole-of-life costs, great fuel efficiency, and superior comfort.
"Feedback from drivers of the MAN TGM range is that it encompasses all the creature comforts you could need in day-to-day work."
Hartwigs' Dubbo dealership was instrumental in ascertaining the key requirements to ensure that the trucks were specified correctly.
"We worked closely with HMA to ensure that the TGMs were delivered to specification within the required timeframe," said Charlie Hartwig, sales manager, Hartwigs.
"We look forward to a long partnership with HMA delivering MAN trucks for both on-and off-highway applications."

A tracking mechanism that won't die, even when a user actively opts out? That's one tough cookie.
Privacy advocates are turning up the heat on Verizon Wireless again with a flurry of reports decrying what's become popularly known as the "zombie cookie," a unique ID header developed by Precision Market Insights, the carrier's data-driven and addressable advertising arm, to deal with the issue of mobile tracking and mobile data collection.
General awareness of the super-cookie first hit critical mass last fall when security experts raised the alarm that something was up with Verizon's unique identifier header (UIDH), which enables advertisers and other third parties to track users on their mobile devices by injecting code into web traffic. The cookie persists even if a user clears their cache, enters private browsing mode or opts out of the program.
Verizon downplayed the issue, noting at the time that although there was no way for subscribers to turn off the tracking completely, users could take steps to opt out of seeing targeted ads. End of story.
But Stanford University researcher and computer scientist Jonathan Mayer suspected that it wasn't the end of the story – and he was quite right.
In December, Mayer, a Ph.D. candidate focused on government surveillance issues, went "Verizon zombie hunting." He decided to try and spot companies that were obviously and actively engaged in using Verizon's header for tracking purposes by resetting his cookies and examining the requests for specific behaviors.
In short order, he found what he was looking for: Turn. The DMP-DSP hybrid seemed to be using Verizon's header to resurrect deleted tracking cookies.
According to an industry source with knowledge of the matter, RUN uses the Verizon header "the way it was meant to be used" – as a device identifier – and has never tied the UIDH to cookies for targeting purposes.
In other words, everything will probably be OK – but it doesn't matter because others out there are doing the same or more.
But Mayer isn't buying it.
AdExchanger's industry source isn't buying it either.
In a conversation with AdExchanger, Ochoa took issue with one of the basic assertions in Mayer's piece and other media reports – namely, he disagreed that clearing cookies is a proxy for opting out of being tracked or served targeted ads.
While it's possible that cookie clearing doesn't necessarily signify an opt-out – perhaps a user clears out cookies because he doesn't want others to see his browsing habits – it's important to note that it's possible to clear browsing history without touching cookies.
So, what exactly was happening with the so-called zombie cookies in Turn's system? According to Ochoa, everything was always kosher on Turn's back end – even though technically savvy users might have noticed what looked like a perma-cookie haunting the Verizon header even after clearing their cookie cache. Ochoa went so far as to thank Mayer for pointing out what he referred to as a simple coding problem.
As a short-term fix, Turn has corrected its code so that outside users are now able to independently verify that their cleared cookies were not being resurrected. Ochoa said Turn's engineering and product people are also in the process of combing through the code to figure out what needs to be changed so that the "'zombie' cookies are quite dead." That process should be completed by the beginning of February.
What's On The Horizon For Verizon?
It's a disappointing reaction, Mayer said.
A shame for consumers, who want more control over their privacy – and a potential shame for Verizon on the regulatory front.
However, not everyone thinks that Verizon is at fault – or at least, Verizon shouldn't be the only one whose proverbial feet are being held to the fire.
"As an industry, we must take our positions seriously and default to a privacy conscious/sensitive position with respect to how consumer actions should be interpreted [and] we must embrace our responsibility as innovators and ask ourselves the questions that aren't 'regulated,'" said AdExchanger's industry source. "That is not a Verizon-only responsibility, but an industrywide one. If we do not, the real consequence will be our ability to innovate and develop solutions that truly benefit consumers and our ecosystem at large."
But as it stands now, the crux of the issue remains: Even when consumers opt out of receiving targeted ads, it doesn't stop them from being tracked. Today, most opt-out policies are a bit like "privacy theater," Mayer said. Opt-out pages are often difficult to navigate – or to even locate in the first place.
But although Turn is the ad tech scapegoat, it didn't singlehandedly create the digital ad ecosystem.
"One of the reasons why the zombie cookie issue continues to look really bad for the industry is that it emphasizes a fundamental error in not letting people control tracking," Mayer said.
It's a sentiment that Avi Spivack, senior director of product commercialization at data co-op Adroit Digital – a business that relies on the smooth flow of consumer data – can get behind.
But that ecosystem won't be achieved without a more "honest debate" around defaults, said Mayer, noting that most consumers are automatically opted in for tracking. Such is the case with Verizon's PrecisionID.
Rather than pushing things like consumer education or AdChoices, which haven't proven to be all that effective yet – a study conducted by Parks Associates last January found that, three years after its release, only 6% of consumers were aware of what the DAA's little blue opt-out icon even meant – Mayer called on the industry to stop kidding itself.
But now it's Ochoa's turn to be a bit skeptical – especially on the privacy by default front.
One response to that could be that the Internet is different. The Internet isn't any one thing – it's a combination of intent, purchase data, browsing behavior and PII all rolled into one. Ochoa wouldn't bite.

Can You Watch Football on Projector?
Nearly everyone who enjoys football or other sports has watched a game on television with that optical cable, tv runner card, or an antenna to get a clear picture on TV.
But now due to advancements in technology we dont have any limitation on watching football or any other sport on a bigger picture size.
Watching your favorite team on a bigger screen with family and friends makes viewers feel as if they are right in the middle of the action.
Whether this is your first time using a projector to watch a game, or you might be thinking, can you watch football on projector?
So, whether you're a fan of your favorite team or even you can enjoy playing games with your friends there are lots of thing which you can do with your 4k projector.
Media Sources To Watch Football On Projector?
Go With Modern High Spec Projector
Satellite Box
What projector should you use to watch American Football?
What is the best way to watch football on a projector?
Can you watch football on a projector without cable?
Yes, you can watch football on the projector with the help of some points listed below to watch your favorite team playing on a giant screen.
You don't require an expert to set up a projector to watch any sporting event.
But still, the projector is not a simple viewing device like a television where you plugin a connection to a power outlet and sit back to enjoy your favorite match.
So, if you have the latest model of a projector with an HDMI port, watching football on a projector with the help of a satellite box will be easier.
If you have a cable or satellite with an HDMI cable, connecting your cable box or satellite receiver to your projector will allow you to enjoy the game on a big screen.
But if your projector doesn't have an HDMI connection, you will need AV to HDMI converter, and your cable box will have to connect with a converter to view the live stream.
Also, these days you can watch live sports directly on your projector by connecting streaming devices like amazon firestick, google chrome cast, Roku, etc.
But to view it seamlessly on the internet, you need to have a high-speed internet connection that can easily stream all Live events without any buffering.
So, if you have a complete projector kit with all the accessories required, you can enjoy watching the game on a bigger screen rather than just watching it on TV.
Watch your favorite team competing with other teams, like New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, and Minnesota Vikings, on NBC Sports, paramount, ESPN, etc.
If you still don't have a projector and want one, then always go with the latest model with all the features such as HDMI, 4k or 1080p, WIFI, etc.
Also, ensure the unit delivers a low latency rate to avoid the feed or de-synching itself from the audio at such high resolutions.
A satellite box, also known as a cable box, is a small device that connects your tv and lets you watch ABC, CBS, NBC, and other channels on your tv.
You can connect the box with an HDMI cable to the projector to watch your favorite events.
In some ways, a tv tuner doesn't require you to watch all your entertainment content with commercial ads in a low-quality resolution.
Now it all depends on how much brighter and clear image quality you want and how much you are willing to pay.
If you are viewing it in darker condition, going with below 2000 lumens is ideal, with a price tag of under 600$.
But if you have a good budget and the room you will keep your projector in has some lighting conditions, then going with above 3000 lumens is perfect for you.
But remember, the more lumens you opt for, higher the price you have to pay to get excellent picture quality.
You can experience watching your favorite team or sports on a projector in many ways.
You can use an optical cable, a tv tuner, and an antenna to get a clear picture on a projector/TV.
Also, the latest way is using a satellite box to connect your projector, a modern way to watch ABC, CBS, NBC, and other channels.
Yes, you can watch it with the help of a WIFI connection connected to any streaming device right at the back of a unit.
You can watch football on a pro football projector with your family or friends. Watching the big game at home offers a better experience than watching at a sports bar.
It is more comfortable to use an optical cable to connect to your projector than any other device, giving you the best and clear picture too.

"Are you aware of the fact that this man wants to legalize prostitution, heroin and cocaine, do away with the sales tax and Income tax ( do you like your hospitals and your nice paved roads)....I believe that's a bit radical and it is not slander...these are his positions"
Prostitution is already legal in one state - and Ron Paul wants to leave that decision up to the states (see the bottom of the page at http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Stossel/story?id=3970423 ). Sounds like the way it already is. Just because he received a donation from the owner of a Nevada brothel doesn't make him a pimp any more than receiving a donation from me makes him a computer programmer or receiving a donation from you makes him a female.
The "war on drugs" is a waste of money that could be otherwise spent on hospitals and nice paved roads - or given back to you the taxpayer. Already this year, one billion dollars has been spent in this "war," yet the government is not any closer to winning it then when it started. How many people do you know that have taken drugs? How many of your friends have smoked pot? I have never taken drugs and never will, but I know that this prohibition is exactly as effective as the last national prohibition brought by the 18th amendment. The alcohol prohibition gave rise to organized crime very similar to the way that illegal drugs drive current gangs. Furthermore, if you were to legalize it, you could tax it to the point that it generates enough income to pay for the idiots' hospital bills when they overdose. That burden is currently left to the general public.
The federal government does not have a sales tax, so getting rid of it would not be a radical idea. When I first heard his plan to eliminate the income tax, I questioned its validity as well. The answer is that if we keep spending at the rate that we are, we can't eliminate the IRS. The federal government gets a little under half its money from individual income tax ( http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy08/hist.html ), the rest comes from corporation income tax, social security, and "other" (such as tariffs and excise tax). In order to reduce spending to the point that we can afford to get rid of the income tax, we would have to cut spending in half. The federal government spent $2.65 trillion in 2006 ( http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/index.php ). If you cut that in half, you get $1.325 trillion - let's pretend that's our new budget. If we take into account inflation (which is another topic on its own), we would need to reduce spending to the levels of 1976. Maybe we should ask our parents if they had paved roads and hospitals when they were our age. Would it be tough for the government to make this transformation? Yes, but imagine not having to give that money to the government.
I know the positions of my candidate - do you?


Frenzied finger-picking, dueling croons and high drama set to free-spirited pop progressions: these are the components that go into defining any given Avett Brothers record. Be it the remorseful poetry of 2006's The Gleam or the sweeping anthems we'd last heard from them with I And Love And You, Scott Avett, Seth Avett, Bob Crawford and Joe Kwon together continue to strike a balance between traditional country sensibilities and the rock and roll of tomorrow with The Carpenter.
Though they've always played to the beat of their own kick-drum (quite literally, as Scott frequently double-fists one and a banjo live), I And Love And You was a watershed moment for the Concord, N.C. quartet in that they broke away from their typical banjo-guitar-upright bass-cello arsenal, rolling out a piano for the big numbers and plugging in for the fast ones. With The Carpenter, we're reminded of the stripped-down, rebellious arrangements of Avetts records past—Emotionalism, Mignonette—more than we are their more recent, grandiose compositions, those that scored them supporting gigs for Dave Matthews and a "Maggie's Farm" sing-along with Dylan himself at the 2011 Grammys.
The Carpenter provides a return to rudimentary Avett songwriting, in that the most striking moments on the record are born from playful banjo-guitar banter and confessions revealed in 4/4 time. Lead-off track "The Once and Future Carpenter" and "Live and Die," Carpenter's first single, best exemplify the former, seamlessly weaving Scott and Seth's bright harmonies with tinny scales and joyful steel-stringed bursts. "Let her heart beat change what I am now" set to the gorgeous, haunting low of Kwon's cello is a stanza strong enough to break your heart in two at the height of "Life," and the solemn notes of "Through My Prayers" demonstrates the Avetts' ability to delicately address universal, frightening themes while delving a little deeper than your typical ballad in rock and country.
It's this penchant for playing with contrast—between light and dark, comedy and tragedy, hard and soft, fast and slow—and their ease with switching gears between the romps and soliloquies that shines on The Carpenter, perhaps stronger than on any of their previous releases. And as monumental as I And Love And You was for the them, a return to their roots for the Avett Brothers only reinforces what we already knew: a banjo lick and a boot-stomp can go a long way, and to move forward you need to take a step back, sometimes, and remember where you came from.

Our purposes at Westport Baptist Preschool are two-fold. One is to offer to our community an early childhood program of the highest standards. The other is for children to hear of God's great love for them. Through our program we provide learning experiences in a loving, Christian environment. The preschool board of Westport Baptist Church governs our program.
Because God creates each child unique, we provide a wide range of learning experiences for our children. Bible stories, manipulatives, creative play, gross and fine motor skills are part of the learning process from MMO's through Transitional Kindergarten.
Letters and sounds, tracing, writing, letter recognition, numbers and counting is begun in the 2 year old class and emphasized further in the 3 year old class by adding numbers through 20, patterns, relating objects to amounts.
The 4 year olds and Transitional Kindergarten class give students a firm grasp of the above stated as well as emphasizing short vowel sounds, reading and reading enjoyment.
Our Transitional kindergarten program takes the curriculum a step further by taking all of these skills to the potential level for mastery by the end of the preschool year.
Outside play, free play centers, teacher directed centers, music, seasonal programs; arts and crafts are also a large part of our preschool year.

Every dress Holly Willoughby has worn to the NTAs and the trend you might have missed
Eva Hall
If you're a regular viewer of This Morning, or indeed Dancing on Ice, you know Holly Willoughby isn't afraid to play with colour or patterns.
Just this morning, the presenter wore a red check skirt to present the ITV morning show, and the day before, a red floral number.

So it may surprise you to look back at the mum-of-three's previous National Television Awards gowns -- because they're all black!
From her first awards bash in 2010, a year after taking over the This Morning mantle from Fern Britton, until 2014, Holly opted for black gowns to accept the Best Daytime Award alongside co-host Phillip Schofield.

It wasn't until 2016 that Holly, at that time mum to Harry, now aged nine, Belle, now aged 7, and Chester, four, shook things up a notch by introducing some colour.
Take a look back at every winning NTA look Holly has worn.

Holly, then a fresh-faced 28-year-old, had just landed the This Morning gig after Fern Britton announced she was leaving after 10 years.
Holly had already built an on-screen rapport with Phillip Schofield, having presented with him on another ITV show, Dancing on Ice.
For her first representation of The Morning at the NTAs in 2010, Holly wore a black velvet gown with a bustier top and sleeves. This Morning wasn't nominated in any category this year, but Holly was nominated for Best Entertainment Presenter, but she lost out to Ant and Dec.

Holly was pregnant with her second baby, a daughter called Belle, at the 2011 NTAs, and walked the red carpet cradling her bump, flanked by Phillip. She wore a black gown with an embellished waist.
This Morning took home the award for Topical Magazine Programme in 2011.
Belle arrived three months later in April. Holly already had two-year-old son Harry.

Back from maternity leave and with a new sleeker hairdo, Holly again wore black to the 2012 bash. This Morning won Most Popular Factual Programme that year.

Holly's other ITV show Celebrity Juice won Most Popular Comedy Panel Show the same year.

2013 saw another win in the bag for This Morning, this time in the Most Popular Daytime Programme, and Holly went with the old if it ain't broke, don't fix it, adage, and wore black again.

And again in 2014...

Holly was a no-show at the 2015 ceremony, as she was on maternity leave having given birth to second son Chester four months previously. Christine Bleakley filled in for Holly with Phillip, and This Morning won Daytime Programme, and celebrity Juice won Best Multichannel programme.
Holly congratulated her team from home though, sending out the below tweets.
Yeah!!!! pic.twitter.com/D1TgqIcDQG

Thank you so much. We only do it because you watch and support us, sorry to get soppy but I love you guys!!! Xxx pic.twitter.com/zENrMaYrco
In 2016, Holly was back on This Morning, and figured it would be all white on the night to change it up in the wardrobe department. The now mum-of-three opted for a white sleek sleeveless gown to accept This Morning's sixth NTA.

This was the year Holly and Phil stayed out partying all night, and presented This Morning 'drunk' the following morning.

Holly changed it up again in 2017 with a backless blush pink gown, and yep, you guessed it, This Morning came out on top, again!

Holly had really stepped into her own style by 2017, taking things outside the box in an edgy mermaid number of turquoise and lemon stripes. This year Holly and Phillip lost out to Ant and Dec for Best Tv Presenter, but This Morning still won in the Daytime category.

This year, Holly accessorised her polka-dot gown with a purple hip flask on the red carpet! Her and Phillip celebrated late into the night after taking home the Daytime award. Holly, who had filled in for Ant McPartlin on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2018, lost out to Ant and Dec in the Best Presenter category again, as did Phillip.
After a phenomenal year for Holly's TV career, she wore a pink polka-dot gown to the 2018 NTAs, where This Morning won Best Daytime Programme. Pic: Ricky Vigil M/GC Images

WGN720 AM and St. Nikolaos 12/16/06
This year, the radio station WGN720 AM in Chicago aired a program about
Christmas and made an error that many others have made. It referred to Santa
Clause (Saint Nicholas) as a Turkish Bishop, and as a Catholic Bishop. The
letter below is a direct response to these two mistakes.
Representing 35,000 Hellenes and
34 Hellenic associations in the US and abroad
The following letter is in response to your recent radio program on Santa Clause. This
is to respectfully inform you that the historic figure of Saint Nicholas upon whom Santa
Clause is based on, was neither a Catholic Bishop nor of Turkish descent. The
revered Saint was the Bishop of the town of Myra in Asia Minor during the fourth century.
Although technically Saint Nicholas can be claimed by the Catholic Church since he
lived in the period preceding the schism of 1054 when the Roman Catholic and
Eastern Orthodox Churches split, Saint Nicholas should properly be identified as a Greek
Orthodox Bishop since he resided in the Greek Empire of Byzantium.
The Ottoman Empire of the Turks made its first appearance in Anatolia in the eleventh
century, over eight hundred years after Saint Nicholas passed on. Byzantium was a
Greek Empire and Saint Nicholas was a Greek Bishop. We recognize that this was
an honest error, and ask that WGN720 AM correct this mistake and
assert that Saint Nicholas was a Greek Bishop in the Byzantine Empire. In light of the
fact that Turkish leaders in the twentieth century carried out a campaign of genocide
against the Hellenic descendants of Saint Nicholas in Asia Minor and massacred
Bishops and clergy who succeeded him in the Greek Orthodox Church, it is
particularly disturbing for us to find Saint Nicholas and the Byzantine Empire to be
mistaken with the Turkish conquerors.
We also wish to note that during Christmas 2000, the History Channel mistakenly
called St. Nicolas a Turksih bishop, fact which they subsequently retracted and
corrected http://www.greece.org/themis/letter.jpg
In concluding, we wish to recall the recent visit of his holiness the Pope to the
Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople. The Papal visit highlighted the precarious
position of Christianity in Turkey. As such, in the interest of historical accuracy, we
ask that your station correct the misstatements. Merry Christmas.

Update caste study data often to avoid errors in picking welfare beneficiaries, study says
The fact that SECC data is not supposed to get updated for 10 years means that several people unduly get or are denied benefits of government schemes.

New Delhi: A study commissioned by the Union Ministry of Rural Development has recommended frequent updation of Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC) data, saying there have been "serious errors" in the selection of beneficiaries for government schemes based on it.
The study, which was conducted as part of the fifth Common Review Mission (CRM) for "independent assessment" of government programmes and schemes under the rural development ministry, noted that "there have been serious errors of exclusion and inclusion and as such it may be risk to base selection of beneficiaries for any schemes only on basis of these lists".
SECC 2011 was a novel exercise, which sought to identify poverty through a multi-dimensional lens, using factors like occupation, education, disability, possession of assets, the type of house owned, SC/ST status and employment. The exercise was started in 2011 and concluded in 2015. It covered 24.49 crore households and was conducted door-to-door. The next SECC is scheduled to commence in 2021.
The study, meanwhile, was conducted by a 31-member team led by Rajeev Kapoor, a retired IAS officer and Uttar Pradesh information commissioner, and was submitted to the ministry last month. The team consisted of retired bureaucrats, academics and research organisations, and visited up to 120 villages in more than 21 districts across eight states — Meghalaya, Odisha, Kerala, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur and Uttar Pradesh — in November 2019.
ThePrint reached Kapoor through a phone call, but he did not wish to comment. Rural development ministry spokesperson Alpana Pant did not respond to text messages seeking comment.

'Striking loophole'
Sources familiar with the study said the fact that SECC data does not get updated for 10 years means that several people unduly get or are denied benefits of government schemes.
"There is a chance that someone who did not have a house in 2011 has one now, yet because the SECC data is not updated, they will be considered eligible for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Grameen (PMAY-G), for example," the source said.
"The study does not recommend how frequently the SECC data should be updated because that was not the mandate, but it is a striking loophole that makes room for serious errors," the source added.
According to sources, several discrepancies emerged in the study with regard to the central rural housing scheme PMAY-G, under which the government had planned to construct one crore houses in the first phase from 2016-19. So far, 97.9 lakh houses have been sanctioned, and 84.80 lakh completed.
The study also observed that the Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY), under which MPs adopt villages in their constituencies and seek to turn them into model villages, has not had any "significant impact".
"In many of SAGY villages, the Hon'ble MP did not give any significant money from Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS)," the study states. "In isolated cases, where MPs have been pro-active, some infrastructure development has taken place, but the scheme has not made any perceptible impact. As such, these villages cannot be called Model ('Adarsh') villages."

Beautiful place and the fall color was spectacular there.
We took a self-guided walk along the stream. Most enjoyable.
Excellent tour guides. National park trails. Lovely scenery. Coffee and cakes at the end of walk.
Lovely little town to walk around. Screech in at the Legion not to be missed.
Enjoyed a lot, as this was my first time there and we grabbed a local cab driver and asked him for the guided tour. We got very lucky, getting an excellent driver with a great personality.
Depressed old industrial town with lots of hills and nothing to see or do. The locals were very friendly.
Cute town. Ship provided a free shuttle. After exploring the small town, I went to Corner Brook Stream Trail, not far from the centre of town. It was mid-October to enjoy some Fall colours, brooks, streams and peacefulness of the area.
A very small town with little to do. The fall foliage was beautiful, but this area is more known for winter snowmobiling. Walked around then back to the ship.


It's pretty awesome... by the time I get to goal I will have spent $4500 on collies!!!!! lol!!!!
That's not so awesome! I get it though. How funny.
Cfmama - Aww that's cute I think the hubs would be very upset if I did that. lol He gets to chose our next dog.
My boyfriend and I actually have a puppy pact. Right now we have two dogs we rescued (adorable, crazy border collie mixes) and I really REALLY want to rescue a third. At 100 lbs., we get our next dog. We're hoping to take a trip to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah, volunteer for a week, and find another to bring back home to California with us.
I like the idea of combining that with a cash for pounds thing, and maybe use it toward our trip.
I read a blog awhile ago in which a woman described putting a nickle in a jar for each pound she lost. She had an image of the jar and I can see that it would be motivating. She was going to turn it in for rewards like you mention, that is turn in the nickles for dollars.
I think I might combine the dollar thing and the jar. I will go to the bank and get dollar coins to put in my jar. Hubby has already agreed to get me a new wardrobe and we are hoping insurance will help with any surgery I need - though I will be putting surgeries off until after we have a baby, no use tightening things up only to stretch them back out. I think I will spend my reward money on boots, nice knee high ones since being big I have never been able to find ones that fit properly. I have large calves and small feet - currently 15 inches and a 6 or 6 1/2. I have only lost 1.5 inch on each calf though, so I hope that they slim down enough to make this a reasonable thing to do.
Since we are hoping I will be pregnant long before reaching final goal, I will have to decide if I get double dollars for the pounds that I will have to lose twice.
What a great idea! A reward that continues to reward you and your family for years after...I just love dogs, the way the look at you, they are just so sweet!
That's a great idea! Haven't really given myself any rewards so far, but putting money away for each pound lost could work for when I get to target.
I really want some knee length boots as well, but am worried my calves will never be thin enough to fit them.
I've been thinking on this for a while. I still haven't figured what exacly the rewards will be but I plan on going with a reward for certain numbers of days on plan rather than pounds off. If I am on plan the pounds will come and it will take some of the drama and pressure and anxiety away from the scale.
What rewards are you doing for yourself? I'm looking for ideas.
Edited to add that I am doing this also because I can continue doing it even when maintaining and I'm treating this with a do forever mentality.

Ganny camera picking up returns.
Here's hoping they somehow actually adapt and thrive.
Last kick at the can in our area I believe.
will they stop wasting there money stocking them at the credit as well?
Hear they're installing the same camera setup the Ganny is now running, on the credit.
This will give them clear data and species identification on what's returning.
If it wasn't for the Atlantic Salmon Stocking Program, you would not see this high tech camera on any river. So, which do you want? The Binbrook wine company to not sponsor the majority of funding which actually paid for this camera and numerous other studies and stream rehabilitation. Oh wait a minute.... I am sure you devoted many many countless hours planting trees along shorelines, cleaned up some detrimental log jambs which were impassable, lend a helping hand placing gabion stone and clear stone to improve some spawning habitat.
Ironically, I'm more to believe you are the type of person who complains about ALL projects and complain about why they only lifted 150 fish up over the Mill dam in Cobourg, not 500. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised you are the type of person who would eat their Mcdonalds Big Mac, fries and a big ol fountain pop, burp as you were tossing it on the ground leaving it for the next guy to pick up your mess.
Oh, I almost forgot, you are probably one of those guys who complain about yet another place being closed down due to people littering.
I was following till you went off on a tangent accusing Ibstacle of littering and eating at McDonald's.
Don't bite the hand that feeds ya theory your getting at.
True enough. But it's results that count also.
10s of millions stocked .
Returns just below the deplorable mark.
I don't think returns even amount to a full percentage point ?
Program has been less than vague with their return numbers.
Once operational is going to decide the fate of future stocking there.
Yeah, here we go again. Instead of resorting to personal attacks and babbling about French fries, why won't you just admit the truth? The atlantic program is a total failure.
OMNR has stocked tens of millions of these things into Lake Ontario tributaries since 1984, and with nothing to show for it except excuses after excuses after excuses.
If it wasn't for the atlantic salmon program, we might have amazing fishing instead of crap. Can you imagine the fishery we could have if they spent the last 35 years managing it for coho and browns and steelhead instead? That would be a fishery to be proud of, and one that would bring in huge money from tackle sales and tourism. But no. We waste millions of dollars every year stocking unicorns that are never seen again. Its a huge waste of everyone's time and money.
Look, we tried. It didn't work. Admit defeat and move on. Manage the lake for the species that actually survive and provide a fishery. Then we could all spend more time catching fish instead of planting trees and making excuses.
Considering the results from millions and millions of fish stocked by both Ontario and New York since 1984, I think it's pretty clear that this program is a total failure and is not worth continuing at any cost.
We stocked 100,000 coho in the Credit in the late 60s, and within 2 years people were catching them all over.
We stocked 400,000 chinooks into Bronte in the early 70s, and within four years everyone was seeing them and catching them.
We've stocked untold millions of atlantics into Lake Ontario for 35 years, and most people have still never even seen one!
What more does it take to convince some people that this has been a complete and total failure?
120000 stocked last 2 yrs at Ganny.
3yr fish return this year.
Time to cut our losses and move on. Why not put that same effort into steelhead? They at least survive and provide a worthwhile fishery.
So 50 guys looking at the same fish = 50 Atlantic's?
The Atlantic salmon stocking program is part of the OMNR's agenda to protect native species; the money that's allocated for it isn't to improve Ontario's sport fishing.
This is the biggest point that needs to be understood in this conversation. Anglers need to realize that this program isn't about generating revenue or pleasing any specific angler group, its about attempts to reverse the damage caused by years of pollution and development across the province. The return of Atlantic Salmon would be a huge benefit to the ecosystem in the same way that planting native tree's and wildflowers on your property is better than planting foreign varieties for native wildlife species.
People love to complain and mob mentality has taken over with the public opinion on the Atlantic stocking program. Instead of seeing people complain about the low numbers I am now seeing people complain about the terrible fight they give on trolling gear. Over the years I have seen a steady increases of reported catches during the fall steelhead run, this year I have seen a very good amount of reported catches out in the lake.


A few weeks back I had the honor of being asked to photograph a birth – AND – as my other career hat is as a massage therapist – be the stand in doula. What an experience! I met the couple at the hospital and photographed the experience from hours after the water broke 'til 30 hours later when a c-section had to be performed – alternating between taking a few pictures and then doing a back rub with some essential oil infused lotions I'd brought along. This photo-journalistic / documentary style is a departure from the usual head shots and portraits I do and I really enjoyed witnessing and capturing the untouched, non-staged, real life moments.
The hospital staff were kind and accommodating and even allowed me in the operating room to capture a few images of babies first breath [as mom had hoped for] when we found out the c-section was necessary.
But for today's sharing just a few cute shots of this beautiful blessing.
Congratulations to the new mom and dad and thank you for trusting me to be part of the experience with you!
That moment when you are photographing twin boys and you ask them to pretend to like each other. Young boxer in training. ;) Love how this joking moment shows their affection for one another.
So much fun photographing this growing family in their home this summer. I love the laughter and connection that comes through in the spontaneous moments.
Congratulations Tamyka & Juan – on the birth of your beautiful baby boy! It was such an honor to be able to photograph and document this special time in your life. Much love to you all!
I ran a Holiday Mini special in the studio recently. It was a first for me and trying to get everyone to give me that "perfect smile" in a 20 minute session proved to be a difficult task – but a fun one. Love this family, all dressed so beautifully – kicking back and just having a blast. In the end I think the experience of joy is so much more important than the perfectly polished pose.
One thing I love about doing "Day In The Life" portrait sessions …. catching real life moments like these. Jacob was considering climbing the stairs for the first time while I was there photographing the family. The next shot was of his bum …. from behind … as he traversed the lower three steps. Priceless moment.
A day in the life portrait sessions are something new I've been experimenting with lately. Rather than dressing up, coming to my studio and trying to get everyone to behave perfectly to make one beautiful photo – I come to you and document your life as is. I'm your paparazzi for a few hours and we capture all those precious moments that make life wonderful …. mess, imperfection and all.
This morning bath is just one activity we photographed in the three hours I spent with this family. I love the bottom right image because it contains three generations of love. Grammie in the background helping Josh get clean … while he leans over and looks at a photo of his great-grandfather.

Celebrating Earth Day Texas Style
by djenkins | Apr 21, 2015 | Uncategorized
When looking for environmental success stories coming out of the Lone Star State, a couple really stand out. One is the amazing growth of wind energy. Texas is the king of wind energy, producing about 20 percent of the wind power generated in the United States. The other is an event that has become the nation's most important and impressive environmental education effort, Earth Day Texas. Earth Day Texas, which is coming up this weekend (April 24-26) in Dallas, is the brainchild of Trammell S. Crow. It started out in 2010 as a local Dallas-centric Earth Day event, but has grown into a truly Texas-sized undertaking with state, national and global impact. Earth Day Texas attracts local and national political leaders, business leaders, conservation leaders and over 50,000 attendees. It provides each of them with an opportunity to learn about our most pressing environmental problems, discuss solutions, witness what others are doing to safeguard our planet, discover the latest green technologies, and learn how to do their part. This year's event will feature presentations on topics, ranging from water conservation and wildlife protection, to renewable energy and environmental politics. There will be a showing of the powerful new film Racing Extinction, where an innovative team of artists and activists expose a hidden world of corruption and extinction that is truly shocking. Bat Conservation International will be there with live bats giving presentations on why bats are one of the most ecologically and economically important wildlife species, and yet one of the most threatened. That's just the tip of the iceberg, Earth Day Texas has more exhibits, entertainment and presentations...
Freeloading Rancher is Anti-America and Anti-Conservative
Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher who orchestrated an armed standoff with federal officials last year over his refusal to pay two decades worth of grazing fees and fines, is back in the news. Late last month, he and his followers rallied in Carson City to support AB408, a radical (and unconstitutional) bill in the Nevada State Assembly, the purpose of which was to seize all U.S. owned lands, mineral rights and water rights in the state, and to block enforcement of federal law. That bill has since been gutted of those provisions, but Bundy is staying in the news. This weekend he plans a "Bundy Ranch Freedom Reunion" at his ranch. Bundy, who says he does not recognize the United States as "even existing, owes the government more than $1 million and has ignored countless court orders. That Bundy is still running around free and not behind bars is almost as perplexing as his crazy beliefs are. Bundy somehow believes that Nevada is a sovereign entity that is not bound by the U.S. constitution and not subject to federal law. He has apparently even went so far as to order the Clark County sheriff to disarm federal officials and tear down National Park entrance fee booths. His wacky views are more or less in line with those of the Sovereign Citizen Movement, which the FBI has expressed growing concern about. Check out recent CRS op-eds in the Las Vegas Review Journal and the Salt Lake Tribune, linked below, to read why Bundy and his followers are anti-America and anti-conservative.
