CK McClatchy High School (Google View)
Student science project on race and IQ removed after outrage
An Asian California high school student comparing race and IQ levels for an elite science project, has resulted in fury and outrage and his project being scrapped.

'White men you must die' say South African blacks at Overvaal school
The Sacramento Bee reported on Saturday that the science project, titled "Race and IQ," was put together by a CK McClatchy High School star student, and displayed in the fair on Monday.
The Asian student is part of the school's elite Humanities and International Studies Program.
For his project, he compared intelligence levels to ascertain whether particular races were intelligent enough for the school's magnet program to justify the racial disparity present.
The student's work linking race with intelligence "has outraged teachers, students and parents at CK McClatchy High School in Sacramento's Land Park neighbourhood" the newspaper reported..
"If the average IQs of blacks, Southeast Asians, and Hispanics are lower than the average IQs of non-Hispanic whites and Northeast Asians, then the racial disproportionality in (HISP) is justified," the hypothesis stated.
HISP, according to The Bee, is a star program at the school, but the program has reportedly been criticized for its lack of racial and ethnic diversity. The program is made up mostly of white and Asian students.
The student claimed that certain races like African Americans and Hispanics simply lack the intelligence to handle the program's academically challenging coursework.
The project was to be judged by a team of community members as part of the fourth annual Mini Science Fair at the school situated in a mostly Asian neighbourhood.
To test his proposed theory, the student had unidentified teenagers with different racial backgrounds take an internet IQ test and reportedly found that "the racial disproportionality of HISP is justified".
Students, parents and faculty complained and the project was removed from the science fair on Wednesday. Alex Barrios, the spokesman for Sacramento Unified district, said the district was currently investigating the incident.
"We are looking into the appropriate response to a situation like this," Barrios told The Bee. "We understand it concerns a lot of people and doesn't reflect our culture here."
The school's principal Peter Lambert – who is African American – said in an email to parents on Thursday that they were taking the "incident very seriously" and noted that the school strived to "promote and embrace an inclusive environment and way of thinking which excludes any form of discrimination".
It was reported that the students of colour were very "upset" with the findings in the science project because it included a bibliography and quotes from five books, one a text from 1904 called "The Essential Kafir" that argued South African blacks were intellectually inferior to whites.
The term "kaffir" has since evolved into a racial slur in South Africa, but the Arabic word is currently widely used in Africa by Muslims to denote the "unfaithful".
In the United States, the notion of intelligence being tied to race gained notoriety in 1994 with the book "The Bell Curve" by Charles Murray.
In 2013, the director of the Heritage Foundation was forced to resign over his Harvard PhD, in which he argued that American born "Hispanics" were less intelligent than American-born whites, after researching their IQ scores.
PacificaRose
They want "diversity" but not the honest truth about Race Realism. The Emperor has no clothes. Everybody knows it, or we'd have no Affirmative Action, and no extra points on SAT scores for low-IQ blacks and browns.
SacBee said the student is Asian. Good thing, if he were white, the SPLC and ADL would be involved. In any case he should watch his back. I wish him luck in his schooling

On Saturday August 21st I was lucky enough to enjoy just about one quarter of this years No Depression Festival at Marymoor Park in Redmond. Due to a prior commitment I had to leave early but I'm glad I braved the 520 closure and went for the early part. The lineup at this year's festival was great and I had not yet been to a show at Marymoor Park. It's a great stage in a lovely enclosed field in the park. There are some gently rolling hills near the back that create a natural amphitheater. It was early and all the prime seating area was already mostly claimed but that was OK because I wanted to get close to the stage for the Maldives.
Everyone was really mellow and quiet but that worked well for some of the slow burners the Maldives served up early in the set. With a three guitar, bass, violin, pedal steel/keys and drums set up the band sounded awesome on the giant Marymoor stage and kept a steady groove going as more and more people arrived to the festival grounds. Singer/Guitarist Jason Dodson's soulful tunes are perfect country gems but the Maldives sound really comes together when the band joins in giving the songs more of an alt-country flair. The band kept it pretty cool for the most part until "Blood Relations" when they unleashed the gauntlet. An excellent song from their album Listen to the Thunder that builds up over several minutes into a rising chorus and then into a high powered stomp that got everyone's blood flowing. I was particularly impressed by guitarist Tim Gadbois timely broken guitar string replacement just in time for the solo!
During the break I made my way to the back to the food and got myself a delicious soul food medley from one of the vendors. Yum! That's when I noticed three members from the Head and the Heart drawing a small crowd as they busked just outside the beer garden. Josiah, Charity and Jon treated the crowd to some excellent stripped down versions of their catchy country pop. Gorgeous harmonies and expertly placed handclaps and foot stomps brought big smiles to the faces of the growing crowd around the band. They were able to play about four or five songs before it sounded like there was action on the stage. They invited everyone back for more at the next break. I thought that was a great idea to have them busking in between the set changes and what a nice surprise!
Up next was Sera Cahoone so I found a nice spot to kick back on the hill to enjoy her set. I'd only ever seen Sera play drums so I was excited to hear her play. Backed by a talented band Sera breezed through several songs from her album Only As the Day Is Long. Sera's voice is super smooth blending a nice balance of beauty and strength, confidence and cool. Finger picked guitar, pedal steel and violin offered subtle highlights throughout her plaintive tunes. The sun started to peek out behind the morning clouds and if I could have I would have kicked my feet up as I watched the clouds drift above the trees.
At the break I was able to catch some more excellent tunes from The Head and the Heart. It was really cool to see the three of them so intensely focused on each other in the midst of the small crowd formed around them. I got to hear a lot of stuff from their amazing debut EP along with a couple I'd never heard before. I loved it!
As Chuck Prophet began on the stage I looked at the clock and knew I had to jet. I went up close to catch a couple of songs before I left and was wowed by Chuck's effortless guitar playing. His beat up telecaster looked like it had seen some serious action but also seemed to extend from him like a born appendage. I was bummed I couldn't stay cause I could tell Chuck and his band put on a great show.
So even though I missed a lot of great stuff including Lucinda Williams, Cave Singers and the Swell Season I am glad I made the trip. Next year I'll plan better so I can stay the whole day.

Dummond and Monroe combine for 4-18 shooting.
I didnt watch the game or even the highlights, but im thinking, when you have your point guards going 1-15, the only other guard go 6-17 and everyone else is a forward (Smith, Singler, Jerebko, Mitchell, Villanueva) you can imagine there is very little room to operate close to the basket.

Celtics were no longer competitors by that point. Even with Allen were they getting past Miami? Or Indy?
And I watched part of 1 Piston preseason game and Brandon Jennings actually acted like PG... for about 5 minutes before he started chucking the wild shots. When he's playing pass first he can be good.
And 4-18 absolutely sucks for a post duo, didn't see it but that's ugly. But Drummonds already starting to show a hook shot. I'm reading rumors that the Pistons won't resign Monroe because they can only offer one 5 year max and they will save it for Drummond.
I did see this the other day:
Simple for other players but if Drummond can start making that, look out.
by The Franchise on Fri Oct 18, 2013 3:57 pm
In KG and PP mind, they still were competing, which is why they got pissed about it.
But yeah, I heard about not resigning Monroe...dunno..he seems like a player I would want to keep, not over Drummond but still.
Does it have to be the Max? Why would they offer Monroe that? Hes good but, not that good.
Good question I don't think he's quite a max player either. But I think he's going to try to get a max, maybe some team will do it,otherwise go back to Detroit.
What do we think of that new rule where you automatically get a delay of game for redirecting the ball(like at the ref or w/e) after a made shot. Seems kinda lame to me, is it really going to speed up the game that much?
If I made a fantasy league on Yahoo, would anyone join

I know a ton of teams will have cap room, but they surely wont be targeting him first, as good a young player as he is.
Maybe Dallas IDK.

Bit lame I agree. Some players do it to slow fast breaks so I understand the need to stop it...but really sometimes it's almost a natural reaction.
I play pick up 2-3 times a weeks and when the ball drops in and your right under the basket, sometimes you just touch it in the general direction of out of bounds as your trying to get back on defence and the ball is just "there". I think you can kind of tell the difference between that and purposely stopping a fast break.
If its about speeding up the game, its completely baffling...how about the 4 million time outs?

Dmize, Dani, what are the prices for League Pass like and how do you guys prefer it? I'm looking to subscribe this year.
by Freeza on Fri Oct 18, 2013 9:35 pm
I think a league pass is like 250 US dollars, for all teams.
it is 1250 danish kroner. And i think 250 us$ is the equivalent of that
My lasting impression of Rondo came in locker room scrum after Anthony Davis had 53 vs. Suns:
Me: You've played with & against a lot of great players in your career. Can you put into perspective what A.D. is doing right now?
Rondo: Whatcha want me to do? Suck him off?
Me: Uh.

First of all, KG and PP were traded. If they had a choice between staying and Boston trying to challange again by adding to the core...or bolting...they would of obviously stayed.
Second, Boston and Jersey dont have no rivalry...they werent competing with each other for a title in previous years and they wont be this year. Allen bolted from one title contender to their most hated rivals...its hardly the same.
Third, this "best thing for my family" thing is such a load of shit
Players at that level change teams for better chance of winning....Allen didnt move to help his family in any way whatsoever, he is earning less money and as far as I know, his family wasnt living in Miami lol
Dont take this as me criticising Ray, he obviously had problems with Rondo and the way he was being used so he moved teams, to a better one. Not everyone would jump ship to the arch rival, but its not too bad considering the stage of his career. But Lebron makes no sense to me here, the situations arent really close to being the same.
yeah I'm sure the Celtics FO wouldn't dream of using an expiring,9 million dollar contract they just gave to 36 year old as trade bait, especially since they already tried to trade him. I'm pretty sure your family would rather choose to live in Miami than be forced to move to say Detroit if you got traded.
I agree though, while he had good intentions, lebrons wrong on this one

He's been up and down for a while now.. If he's knees don't get better now, I don't think they ever will
They haven't been in good shape since what 2011? I think giving him 3 seasons before I lose all hope isn't too bad

by FilthyLuca on Sat Oct 19, 2013 1:21 am
Up and down? With all due respect, what dwade have you been watching? knees and his elite status have nothing to do with each other. Granted he's been hurt at the end of the season the last few years, but he's definitely still a top ten player in this league. 22pts on 50% is absurdly good good for anyone other than a center, let alone a sg. The guy just shoots less because of lebron. and this is without taking his assists and rebounding into account. just look at his performances in the playoffs, the man is still a beast.

Sorry, but he was shit for most of the playoffs.
@Blue Barrett wrote: Sorry, but he was shit for most of the playoffs.
wtf are you talking about? Go look at the game logs. I can't believe I'm reading this. He had 5 maybe six bad games, most in the beginning when he wad coming off the injury. By the time the finals came along, he was balling. Even in that 4 pt game against Milwaukee, he ha9 assists and pulled down 11 rebounds. Lets not get carried away.
@FilthyLuca wrote:

He averaged 15.9pts/4.8asts/4.6rbs on 45.7% FG in the playoffs. Those are OJ Mayo numbers, sir.
No he was nothing special for 90% of the playoffs. In fact, he had just ONE great game(Game 4 vs Spurs) and 1 or 2 good games.
What else is there for me to see?
@Blue Barrett wrote:
my friend, oj mayo WISHES he could have those numbers period, let alone coming off a knee injury.
of course his avg for the playoffs is off, he was hurt and barely used in the first round. And to call 23&10 on 52% in game 7 and 25 & 10 45% "good" games, is ridiculous. ESPECIALLY as the second option, meaning less touches. As for the rest playoffs, there's alot more to basketball than scoring alot of pts.
What are you saying? Those are identical numbers to OJ Mayo's season average last year Do I have to provide you with those stats too?
I'm not bashing Wade, but there's no need to be making excuses for him. He hasn't been the same since 2011. He had some incredibly POOR games in the playoffs last season as well. If you want me to spell out everything for you game by game, I can do that too.
Oh and now when I provide stats there's a lot more to basketball than the game logs you told me to look into?

Yes, he has been up and down since 2011 and if you can't see that then something's wrong with you bro
Last year he had an efficient regular season but was poor for the majority of the playoffs.. The year before he was poor for the majority of the regular season, but came up big in certain playoff games (in the Indiana series in particular)
That is 'up and down'
He had 2 great games in last years finals, I really can't remember any other great games in the playoffs that he had.. Not many that's for sure

I dont have league pass, I just stream/watch on tv on Sundays

I cant believe im reading this...
for starters, 22 4 and 4 on 49 % is special (referring to the year before), maybe you haven't been watching basketball long enough to know this, but SG don't average 20 ppg on 50% shooting, it doesn't happen, those are Center numbers (because of their height and that most of their shots come from hooks and dunks in the paint, this is a 6'4" SG) and to simply call it efficient is absurd. 20 5 and 5 on 52% with 1 block and 2 stls is elite, in any era, let alone now.
for the love of god, he had a 24 PER last year, that's 7th in the league. and 27 the year before, 3rd in the league. but according to you "he was poor the majority of last season". go compare that to Kobe or whom ever else you like and see how it stacks up.
I watched damn near every game last year, and he still has stretches where he takes over the game despite having the best player on the planet, who by the way is another ball-dominant superstar and not having a serious presence in the paint to create space. his mid range jumper is grossly underrated and while his off the ball movement isn't ray allens or reggie millers, its still in the top echelon which is pretty amazing considering he spent his first 7 or 8 season with the ball in his hands most of the game.
not to mention half of the game is played on the defensive end, at which he's still an elite defender.
he's easily a top 2-3 SG in this league, and top ten player for sure. I don't know what your standards are, but you don't have to avg 30ppg to be good.
if Hubie Brown were dead, he'd be rolling over in his grave.

There's 2 versions, the one Freeza mentioned which is all teams, and then you can get a 5 team package which is cheaper. That's what I do, and I get the broadband version, since they still don't show LP games in HD on my cable
But I would go with the 5 team package, most of the good games on national tv. Also you can pay for the whole year at once, or just go month to month which is cool.
Alright.
FYI it only takes like 2min a day just to set your lineup, 30min for the draft.

April 1998: Oil and Gas Industry Representatives Draft Plan to Discredit Prevailing Opinion on Global Warming
The Global Climate Science Team drafts a memo outlining a plan to invest millions of dollars in an effort to undermine support for the Kyoto Protocol and discredit the scientific consensus opinion that greenhouse gases are causing the planet to warm. The draft plan, titled "Global Climate Science Communications Action Plan," concedes that opposition to the protocol is not shared by the public. "There has been little, if any, public resistance or pressure applied to Congress to reject the treaty, except by those 'inside the Beltway' with vested interests," it notes. A key component of the plan would be to "maximize the impact of scientific views consistent with ours on Congress, the media, and other key audiences." To do this, they would "recruit a cadre of scientists who share the industry's views of climate science and to train them in public relations so they can help convince journalists, politicians and the public that the risk of global warming is too uncertain to justify controls on greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that trap the sun's heat near Earth," the New York Times reports. They would look to recruit scientists "who do not have a long history of visibility and/or participation in the climate change debate," the memo says. According to the plan, "Victory will be achieved when… recognition of uncertainty becomes part of the 'conventional wisdom.'" One method the institute would employ to measure the plan's progress would be to count the number of news reports that express uncertainty about the issue of global warming. People involved in devising the strategy included Jeffrey Salmon of the George C. Marshall Institute; Steven Milloy, who later becomes a FoxNews.com columnist; David Rothbard of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, which has received $252,000 from ExxonMobil; Myron Ebell of Frontiers of Freedom, also funded with money ($612,000) from the oil giant; and ExxonMobil lobbyist Randy Randol. Representatives of the Exxon Corporation, the Chevron Corporation, and the Southern Company, were also involved.

Before January 20, 2001: Cheney Gives Broad Access to Oil, Energy Executives
Incoming Vice President Dick Cheney is already working to formulate the new administration's energy policy, and to do so he is calling on a variety of CEOs and lobbyists for the oil, gas, and energy corporations. Authors Lou Dubose and Jake Bernstein will later observe that Cheney's "visitor log began to look like the American Petroleum Institute [API]'s membership list. This was no coincidence." In early January, an oil and gas lobbyist brings a group of industry executives to the API's Washington offices to put together a wish list for Cheney and the administration. Shortly after the inauguration, the same lobbyist, J. Steven Griles, will be named deputy secretary of the interior and assigned to work with the Cheney energy task force (see May 16, 2001). Griles will become the conduit for API members to funnel their recommendations directly to the task force. [Dubose and Bernstein, 2006, pp. 7]

March 20, 2001: Energy Advocacy Organization Sends White House Suggested Executive Order; Bush Will Issue Order
API logo. [Source: American Petroleum Institute]James Ford, an official with the American Petroleum Institute (API), sends Energy Department official Joseph T. Kelliher copies of the API's position papers. In that packet is what the Cheney energy task force (the National Energy Policy Development Group—see May 16, 2001) will describe as a "suggested executive order to ensure that energy implications are considered and acted on in rulemakings and executive actions." In May 2001, President Bush will issue that selfsame executive order (see May 11, 2001). [Washington Post, 7/18/2007]

March 22, 2001: British Petroleum, Other Oil, Gas, and Mining Officials Meet with Cheney's Energy Task Force
British Petroleum logo. [Source: British Petroleum]Officials from British Petroleum, including regional president Bob Malone, meet with Vice President Cheney's energy task force (the National Energy Policy Development Group—see May 16, 2001). The BP representatives are part of a group of officials from some 20 different oil and drilling companies and organizations to meet with Cheney's task force in March and April. The other organizations include the National Mining Association, the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America, and the American Petroleum Institute. The names of the various officials, executives, lobbyists, and representatives who meet with the task force will not be released until 2007 (see July 18, 2007). In November 2005, BP America CEO Ross Pillari will testify in a Senate hearing that he does not know about any such meetings (see November 16, 2005).

President Bush signs Executive Order 13211. It is a verbatim copy of a "suggested" order sent in March by American Petroleum Institute official James Ford (see March 20, 2001). The executive order, enigmatically titled "Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use," exempts certain industry actions from federal review.

May 16, 2001: Vice President Cheney's Energy Plan Foresees Government Helping US Companies Expand into New Markets
National Energy Policy report. [Source: Climate Change Technology Program]Vice President Cheney's National Energy Policy Development Group releases its energy plan. The plan, titled Reliable, Affordable, and Environmentally Sound Energy for America's Future, warns that the quantity of oil imported per day will need to rise more than fifty percent to 16.7 million barrels by 2020. "A significant disruption in world oil supplies could adversely affect our economy and our ability to promote key foreign and economic policy objectives, regardless of the level of US dependence on oil imports," the report explains. To meet the US's rising demand for oil, the plan calls for expanded oil and gas drilling on public land and the easing of regulatory barriers to building nuclear power plants. [US President, 5/16/2001, pp. 8.5 ; Associated Press, 12/9/2002; Guardian, 1/23/2003]
Emphasis on Foreign Oil - The report places substantial emphasis on oil from the Persian Gulf region. Its chapter on "strengthening global alliances" states: "By any estimation, Middle East oil producers will remain central to world oil security. The Gulf will be a primary focus of US international energy policy." [US President, 5/16/2001, pp. 8.5 ] But it also suggests that the US cannot depend exclusively on traditional sources of supply to provide the growing amount of oil that it needs and will have to obtain substantial supplies from new sources, such as the Caspian states, Russia, Africa, and the Atlantic Basin. Additionally, it notes that the US cannot rely on market forces alone to gain access to these added supplies, but will also require a significant effort on the part of government officials to overcome foreign resistance to the outward reach of American energy companies. [Japan Today, 4/30/2002]
Revamping of Clean Air Act - The plan also calls for a clarification of the New Source Review section of the Clean Air Act, which requires energy companies to install state-of-the-art emission control technology whenever it makes major modifications to its plants. The administration's energy plan gives the Environmental Protection Agency 90 days to review NSR and determine whether it is discouraging companies from constructing or expanding power plants and refineries. It also instructs the attorney general to review current NSR litigation efforts against utility companies to determine whether those efforts are contributing to the country's energy problems. "The outcome could determine whether the government drops some cases, approaches others more leniently, or even renegotiates settlements already reached," the New York Times reports. [US President, 5/16/2001, pp. 8.5 ; New York Times, 5/18/2001]
Dodging the EPA - The representative of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the task force had blocked the recommendation of a technique called "hydraulic fracturing." Sometimes called "fracking," the technique, used to extract natural gas from the earth, often contaminates aquifers used for drinking water and irrigation. The recommendation was removed to placate the EPA official, then quietly reinserted into the final draft. Halliburton, Cheney's former firm, is the US leader in the use of hydraulic fracturing. [Dubose and Bernstein, 2006, pp. 18]
Cheney Stayed Largely behind the Scenes - Much of the task force's work was done by a six-member staff, led by executive director Andrew Lundquist, a former aide to senators Ted Stevens (R-AK) and Frank Murkowski (R-AK). Lundquist served as the Bush-Cheney campaign's energy expert, earning the nickname "Light Bulb" from the president. Lundquist will leave the Bush administration and become a lobbyist for such firms as British Petroleum, Duke Energy, and the American Petroleum Institute. Much of the report is shaped by Lundquist and his colleagues, who in turn relied heavily on energy company executives and their lobbyists. For himself, Cheney did not meet openly with most of the participants, remaining largely behind the scenes. He did meet with Enron executive Kenneth Lay (see April 17, 2001 and After), with officials from Sandia National Laboratories to discuss their economic models of the energy industry, with energy industry consultants, and with selected Congressmen. Cheney also held meetings with oil executives such as British Petroleum's John Browne that are not listed on the task force's calendar. [Washington Post, 7/18/2007]
Controversial Meetings with Energy Executives - Both prior to and after the publication of this report, Cheney and other Task Force officials meet with executives from Enron and other energy companies, including one meeting a month and a half before Enron declares bankruptcy in December 2001 (see After January 20, 2001), Mid-February, 2001, March 21, 2001, March 22, 2001, April 12, 2001, and April 17, 2001). Two separate lawsuits are later filed to reveal details of how the government's energy policy was formed and whether Enron or other players may have influenced it, but the courts will eventually allow the Bush administration to keep the documents secret (see May 10, 2005).

July 18, 2007: White House Reveals Participants in Cheney Energy Task Force Meetings
The White House finally releases a list of officials and organizations who met with Vice President Cheney's energy task force (the National Energy Policy Development Group—see May 16, 2001) in 2001. Cheney and the White House have successfully battled for six years to keep virtually all details of the task force secret (see May 10, 2005), and many other documents and files pertaining to the task force remain secret. The list of participants confirms what many have always suspected—that oil, gas, and energy executives and lobbyists were virtually the only ones to have any input in the task force's policy deliberations. Many of the participants were also heavy donors to the Bush-Cheney campaign, and to the Republican Party in general.
Secrecy - Some participants say they were never sure why the White House fought so hard to keep the information about the task force secret. "I never knew why they fought so hard to keep it secret," says Charles A. Samuels, a lawyer for the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. "I am sure the vast majority of the meetings were very policy-oriented meetings—exactly what should take place." Others say that their meetings with the task force were routine.
API Input - American Petroleum Institute president Red Cavaney says that when he met with the task force, he and his fellow API officials discussed position papers the organization had given to the Bush-Cheney campaign and to newly elected members of Congress. "We're in the business of routinely providing advocacy materials," Cavaney says. "Speaking for myself, I had zero hand in authoring or sitting with anyone from that task force and changing anything." But Cavaney is seriously downplaying API's influence (see March 20, 2001).
"Ridiculous" - Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, who has been a driving force behind the effort to reveal the inner workings of the task force to the public, says it is it is "ridiculous" that it has taken six years to see who attended the meetings. He describes the energy task force as an early indicator of "how secretively Vice President Cheney wanted to act." As to the makeup of the participants, Waxman is not surprised to see the dominance of energy industry groups in the meetings. "Six years later, we see we lost an opportunity to become less dependent on importing oil, on using fossil fuels, which have been a threat to our national security and the well-being of the planet," he says. Climate expert David Hawkins of the Natural Resources Defense Council says: "Cheney had his finger on a critical issue. He just pushed it in the wrong direction." [Washington Post, 7/18/2007]

August 14, 2009: Oil Industry Group Sends 'Sensitive' Memo Detailing Plan for 'Astroturf' Rallies to Oppose Global Warming Legislation
The press releases a confidential, "sensitive" memo from the American Petroleum Institute (API) detailing a plan to create "Astroturf" rallies at which industry employees posing as ordinary citizens will urge Congress to fight climate change legislation. The memo was obtained by the environmental group Greenpeace and sent to several reporters. It urges oil companies to recruit their employees for events that will "put a human face on the impacts of unsound energy policy," and will urge senators to "avoid the mistakes embodied in the House climate bill." The campaign is funded by a coalition of corporate and conservative groups called the "Energy Citizens" alliance, which includes the anti-health care reform group 60 Plus, the industry "grassroots" organization FreedomWorks (see April 14, 2009), Grover Norquist's Americans For Tax Reform, the American Conservative Union, and the National Taxpayers Union. API president Jack Gerard, who signed the memo, asks recipients to give API "the name of one central coordinator for your company's involvement in the rallies." And it warns, "Please treat this information as sensitive… we don't want critics to know our game plan." At least two major oil corporations, BP and Shell, are members of API and also belong to the US Climate Action Partnership, which supports the House legislation sponsored by Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Edward Markey (D-MA). API has spent over $3 million lobbying against that bill this year. API spokesman Bill Bush says his organization is not trying to deceive anyone. "I don't think anyone's hiding the ball about this," he says. "I don't think anyone's trying to suggest that this doesn't have anything to do with the oil and gas industry." Greenpeace has asked API to reveal the member companies funding the Astroturf efforts. Shell Oil Company later informs reporters that it will not take part in the rallies. In a statement, the corporation says, "Shell's position is not aligned with the consensus opinion of the API on Waxman-Markey, therefore Shell will not participate in the rallies."

Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
Originally created for defensive reasons the Nor' Loch was used as a midden for Edinburgh's Old Town. It became both unpleasant and unhealthy for the city's residents, and was drained in the 18th century. Princes Street Gardens now stand in its place. The Bank of Scotland headquarters is situated at the top of the Mound. It was designed by Robert Reid and Richard Crichton and built between 1802 and 1806. It was substantially enlarged in the 1860's. The original North Bridge was completed in 1772 to provide access from Edinburgh's Old Town to the planned New Town development in the north of the city. It was widened in the 1870's to accommodate increased traffic, and was finally rebuilt between 1894-7 alongside the development at Waverley. Mid way along the bridge there is a memorial to men of the King's Own Scottish Borderers killed in the Boer War. Its even gradient was designed to make it suitable for tramcars

MELAS is an acronym for Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes.
The end result is ischaemic damage due to presumed transient oxidative phosphorylation dysfunction within the brain parenchyma.
Mutations in a particular transfer RNA gene, MT-TL1, cause more than 80 percent of all cases of MELAS.
Importantly they can occur de novo or be inherited maternally.
Oxidative phosphorylation (or OXPHOS in short) is the metabolic pathway which is used to reform ATP.
This takes place inside mitochondria. It is highly efficient way of producing ATP.
Onset is often in childhood with muscle weakness and pain.
Patients may experience headaches, loss of appetite, vomiting, and seizures due to the lactic acidosis.
Hemiparesis, coma, myoclonus, ataxia, hemianopia, seizures, and severe headaches resembling migraines.
Ongoing weakness, altered vision, cognition.
Short stature and hearing loss which is sensorineural.
Behavioural and psychiatric problems are noted.
Schizophrenia has been diagnosed in some patients.
Elevated serum lactate. Lactic acid concentrations measured after anaerobic exercise of the forearm.
CSF lactate may be elevated even when serum lactate is normal. Elevated ratio between lactate and pyruvate is high.
CSF: Lactate also may be high. Lactate and pyruvate may increase substantially with exercise. Lactate/pyruvate ratio may be increased.
CT/MRI: Acute infarcts acute infarcts will demonstrate swollen gyri with increased T2 signal. May enhance. Subcortical white matter involved. There may be T2 shine through on DWI with little change on ADC mapping (vasogenic not cytotoxic oedema). Multifocal stroke-like cortical lesions in different stages of evolution crossing the cerebral vascular territories. There is a predilection to the posterior parietal and occipital lobes. There is basal ganglia calcification more prominent feature in older patients. MR spectroscopy may demonstrate elevated lactate in otherwise normal appearing brain.
Mitochondrial DNA analysis: 80% due to mutation is at position 3243 of the nucleotide sequence and 8% are at position 3271.
MELAS remains a largely untreatable condition. Manage acute medical complications may prolong survival.
Progress is usually inexorable but phenotypes can vary.
Coenzyme CoQ10 has been helpful in some patients with MELAS syndrome.

All the pilots from both the Master Class and the Challenger Class gathered at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway racetrack's hallowed Yard of Bricks for a "class photo" to keep in honour of the history-making debut of the Red Bull Air Race at the world's motorsport capital.
The pilots were all smiles as they shared the class photo moment at the Yard of Bricks that harks back to the time when the entire oval was paved with 3.2 million red bricks. With the location officially granted Federal Aviation Authority airport status ahead of the race, capturing this special moment in history marks a big milestone for the ultimate motorsport series in the sky.

Average Wingspan: Depends on wing shape. 10-12 feet.
Life Span: 80-90 years
Diet: Carnivores who mostly eat dried meats that are bland and flavorless, but last a long time and don't spoil through long hard winters. They occasionally hunt rams if they come far enough north, but otherwise they hunt birds of prey, and team up against bears and other mountain dwellers.
Description: Feathered wolves have long, thick coats, and various sized wings and feathered bird-like tails. Their wings rely heavily on genetics, so one wolf might have longer thinner wings, while another might have shorter broader wings. Tail feathers also differ greatly and can range from a broad fan shapes to more tapered styles similar to a swallows. They also feature a mohaw-like crest of feathers on top of their heads that help depict emotions. Their front paws have longer fingers than what is seen on other similar wolf species, and they also feature longer claws, as well as larger dew claws on their back paws.
Colors and Markings: Feathered wolves commonly come in shades of white, grey, black and brown. Rose grey and red pelts are more uncommon. Various degrees of markings and spots have been seen, as well as brindle patterns and stripes on the feathers.
Sexual Dimorphism: Males are usually a bit smaller, but have a larger crest of feathers which can carry down the back of their neck. Females have smaller crests that don't stand as tall and don't carry down the neck.
Common Magical Abilities: Feathered wolves tend to be decently magical. Common abilities include aerokinesis and thermokinesis, but it varies widely upon individuals.
Physical Abilities: Feathered wolves are agile and quick, as well as highly flexible. They are not overly physically strong, but have incredible senses of smell, hearing, and highly adept eyesight. They are usually strong fliers, and adept with aerial attacks and maneuvers.
Reproduction: They reach sexual maturity around 15 years of age. They have an average of a 70 day gestation period, with litters of 3-5 pups. Pups are born deaf and blind and usually gain hearing after about 14 days, and sight with in 24 days.
First flight is usually around the first year, but training and practice starts at 6 months.
Culture: Feathered wolves typically live in tribes of 100-150, which can have 10-15 family groups. They are not nomadic, and hunt in controlled territories. One tribe may not hunt in the territory of another. They are rather primitive in comparison to the rest of the creatures that reside in Themble and other provinces. They are highly isolated from society, and live in caves on the highest peaks only reachable by flight. Feathered wolves' rarity means that they are practically non-existent outside of their tribes and territories.
Alturian feathered wolves were designed by Kristine Cordy. This page was written by her with minor edits.

WSP USA Providing Improved Response to Hazardous Material Situations
The addition of Louis Berger resources has tripled the size of WSP USA's New York team and introduced new expertise in industrial hygiene.
map marker United States | Friday, 21 June 2019
Reading Time : 3:00 minutes
In September 2016, the New York State Department of Health issued an emergency regulation requiring all school districts state-wide to test their water for lead contamination by Oct. 31. Working seven days a week, the WSP USA hazardous materials and industrial hygiene (HazMat/IH) team collected thousands of samples at New York City and state schools to meet the deadline.
"If schools do not open or our projects are in the newspaper, that usually means we have failed our clients and ourselves," said Craig Napolitano, WSP industrial hygiene and hazmat services lead.
Such is the fast and demanding pace of the HazMat/IH industry throughout the New York/tri-state region, where requests for sampling, oversight and design on an emergency or urgent basis are common.
"This work supports the capital budgets of our clients and is often a critical first step in the pursuit of a planned project," Napolitano said. "We receive work on a consistent, albeit rush basis, supporting other disciplines or when an unexpected incident—such as an asbestos release—occurs on-site."
The emergency nature of these projects can present significant technical and logistical challenges, and when work in public spaces such as schools, subway stations and public spaces is required to ensure the safety and health of the occupants, there is an added pressure to perform.
"The type of work that we do—indoor air quality, air testing, lead-based paint testing—has a real impact in the public spectrum," Napolitano said. "Knowing we play an integral part in large public projects, often before any work is done, helps our group cope with the high-pressure turnaround of our industry."

WSP + Louis Berger Advantages
The coming together of WSP and Louis Berger presents the cumulative client portfolio with several key advantages in the efficient and effective delivery of services.
WSP's Hazmat/IH work crosses many market sectors and often requires multidisciplinary expertise. Integration of the technical team provides clients with 26 full-time additional cross-trained staff with a greater capacity to respond to the spectrum of client needs, expanded capabilities in the industrial hygiene discipline, which rounds out the team's service offerings, and the addition of high-end equipment that enhances WSP's execution.
"The integration of WSP and Louis Berger creates a comprehensive team," Napolitano said. "A successful Hazmat/IH program begins and ends with the client; working hand and hand to understand and fulfill their needs. Having a deep and knowledgeable team to cater to any project or request is essential."
'Respond and Perform'
The values and goals of the WSP HazMat/IH team revolve around providing individual clients and communities with expertise and hands-on service tailored to their unique needs, to achieve compliance and improve health and wellbeing in their workplaces and public spaces.
"The WSP HazMat/IH team performs environmental/IH studies and investigations for a range of clients, such as the New York City Transit Authority, New York City School Construction Authority and New York City Department of Design and Construction, to name a few," Napolitano said.
Each agency presents specific issues that often require an understanding of the specialized responses needed to address and mitigate the situation successfully.
"We have to respond and perform," Napolitano added. "But to be a true resource to our clients, we have to understand how the industry is evolving. We keep a finger on the pulse of emerging Hazmat/IH issues and regulations (such as Silica), so we can help our clients interpret and implement new standards and how they apply to them."

Q: scaffold command does not work with Rails 4.2.2 I'm trying to generate a Rails app with the Scaffold command as in every beginner's tutorial:
rails generate scaffold Post name:string title:string content:text

I'm getting this junk:
>     Usage:
>       rails new APP_PATH [options]
>
>     Options:
>       -r, [--ruby=PATH]                                      # Path to the Ruby binary of your choice
>                                                              # Default: /Users/etayluz/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/bin/ruby
>       -m, [--template=TEMPLATE]                              # Path to some application template (can be a filesystem path or URL)

What am I missing here?

A: You cannot create a rails app with the scaffold command. First create a new rails application using
rails new app_name

then use the scaffold command to generate the migration file, model, controller etc

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Chicago alderman says he is exploring a possible run for Congress.
Ald. Brendan Reilly, whose 42nd Ward covers much of downtown Chicago, told ABC7 on Tuesday that he's been "encouraged by a number of folks to look at it, so I am."
However, the alderman and vice mayor says there's still plenty of work to do at the city level.

It has been sixteen long years since The Tractor Boys last graced the promised land – the Premier League. It was a short but sweet stay, playing in Europe for the first time since the mid 80's, but the next sixteen years have seen the Blues stuck in the second tier of English football. A new owner came in, but investment has dried up, mid table finishes have dominated the last decade, its time for change at the club.
Sir Bobby Robson turned Ipswich into an European superpower in the 70s and 80s, winning the Texaco Cup in 1973, the FA Cup in 1978, the UEFA Cup in 1981, and coming to close to win the title in 1980-81 and 1981-82. After Robson left to manage England, Town fell out the top division in the late 80s, and spent time in the Second Division before winning promotion to the inaugural season of the Premiership, before ultimately falling out the Premiership a few years later. After year after year of play off losses, George Burley (who was now ITFC manager) finally led Ipswich back to the big time.
Town would go on to defy the odds and finish 5th in the Premiership, qualifying for the UEFA Cup, unfortunately, this wasn't too last as the club went down the following year, and fell into administration. The next 15 years have seen the once great club stuck in the Championship, and mostly midtable finishes.
There's a huge divide between the fans and the manager, Mick McCarthy, and the owner, Marcus Evans, due to a lack of investment by the owner over the last few years. Change is needed.
Ipswich need a new owner, a owner who cares about the club, and who wants to see the club promoted back to the Premier League, as it is pretty plain for many to see that Marcus Evans is not interested in promotion, only to retain Championship status, whilst spending as little as possible.
When Evans purchased the club in 2007, over a decade ago, fans were optismic about the change in ownership, fans chanted "We're F**king Loaded" and burnt money on social media. Ten years later, the mood in the Ipswich camp have changed, fans want Evans to sell up, citing a lack of investment, and they're not wrong.
2014-15 was the clubs' most successful season in over 10 years, making the play offs for the first time under Evans' tenure, and the truth is, fans look back on it as what could have been. During Christmas 2014, Ipswich sat in the top two, and were on top form, and it looked like Ipswich could finally return to the Premier League, fans expected investment from Marcus Evans – not 50, 60 million – 10 million or so to buy one or two good players to push us past the line and return to the big time. No investment came. Ipswich just made it into the top 6 before losing in the Semi Finals to local rivals, Norwich.
Serious change is needed at this football club. A new owner is needed. A new manager is needed. New players are needed. The fans want a return to the Premier League, and we need someone who shares our passion.
Ticket prices : Surely twenty is plenty?
I find it amazing when an owner comes into a club and promises the world, only to go back on it and end up being resented by the majority.
I hope so, like i said in the article, investment should have happened in January 15 when we were 2nd in the league, but he was tight and didn't invest.

Ops against militants will be intensified in coming days: DGP
By Press Trust of India on 12:30 am August 15, 2020 No Comment
Srinagar: Pakistan and its proxies cannot tolerate the peaceful atmosphere in Jammu and Kashmir, Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh said on Friday after militants shot dead two policemen and wounded another on the outskirts of Srinagar.
He, however, asserted that the efforts to strengthen peace in the J&K would continue.
The DGP was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a wreath-laying ceremony of the two police personnel killed when militants fired indiscriminately upon a police party in Nowgam area here earlier in the day.
"We have placed extended deployments at many places in the city and outside it for the August 15 (Independence Day) function. We were also increasing the deployment on the outskirts (of the city). It is unfortunate that a deployment team was attacked on the outskirts of the city in Nowgam and two jawans were killed and another injured," Singh told reporters.
The DGP said Pakistan and its proxies cannot tolerate the peaceful atmosphere in Jammu and Kashmir and often create hurdles in the path towards peace.
"We are all aware of the situation in Kashmir where the militants regularly try to target civilians, police and forces and sometimes they succeed, but at the same time, the police and forces keep on taking actions to improve the situation," he said.
"We will intensify the (anti-militancy) operations in the coming days, but such incidents take place because Pakistan and its proxies cannot tolerate the peaceful atmosphere here. Such conspiracies are hatched from across the border and they try to create hurdles in the way to peace. However, I am confident that our efforts to strengthen peace will continue," he added.
Singh said the security forces are focused on strengthening security in the valley for the Independence Day function on Saturday.
Talking about the arrangements, he said, We will use drones and camera-fitted vehicles to monitor the situation. We are trying to improve the use of gadgetry and in the coming days, CCTV coverage in the city and other places will be increased. The other things like physical deployment and surveillance are being employed, he said. PTI
