Home Gun Control Constitutional Carry Dies in South Carolina Sub-Committee
Constitutional Carry Dies in South Carolina Sub-Committee
"A state Senate subcommittee voted against approving a bill that would allow anyone who can legally own a gun to carry it concealed without a permit," wbtw.com reports "Sen. Lee Bright, R-Spartanburg [above], was the only senator to vote for the bill." Wait. Let me guess. Bright was the only Republican on the sub-committee. Wrong! But first, in memoriam, here's his pitch . . .
"The Second Amendment's very clear. It says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed and putting a price on a permit that you have to have in order to carry a weapon to defend yourself is an infringement. And several other states have passed this. West Virginia just recently passed this. Arizona."
The opponents of Palmetto State constitutional carry were somehow not swayed by Senator Bright's appeal to his fellow legislators — despite having sworn an oath to uphold and defend both the United States Constitution and state constitution (whose language on gun rights mirrors the federal document).
But other senators on the subcommittee don't like the idea of just anyone carrying a gun. Sen. Brad Hutto, D-Orangeburg, said during the meeting, "It does away with the background check and training and other requirements by allowing anybody in South Carolina to carry."
Sen. Katrina Shealy, R-Lexington, said, "If you're going to carry a gun, I think you need to be trained to carry it."
Members of the South Carolina chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America were at the hearing to oppose the bill. Elizabeth Crawford told senators, "If passed, this bill would let some dangerous people, and those who may have never fired a gun before, carry a hidden, loaded handgun in public without a permit."
And what of the gun rights advocates who were at the hearing? BTW, WBTW doesn't mention them. I wonder why that is?

What is SC's deal with carry?
No reciprocity with GA and krap like this.
younggun21 March 28, 2016 At 13:12
Combination of Dixiecrats and left over bias from the Civil War as I understand it. That and some laws that were on the books specifically to keep certain ethnic groups from obtaining the ability to carry arms and are now being used to keep everyone from doing so unless you just through some flaming hoops.
Art out West March 28, 2016 At 13:28
That's kind of what I think. There are some "generally pro 2nd Amendment" folks with racist tendencies. They don't trust certain black folks to carry guns.
Another Robert March 28, 2016 At 16:31
Sorta like Texas I guess.

That;s the dirty little secret of supposedly "great" Lincoln's legacy: He didn't help free the slaves. Just help enslave everyone else right alongside them.
int19h March 29, 2016 At 00:48
Lincoln's legacy was Reconstruction, which was supposed to deal with this exact kind of crap. And it actually did, while it was ongoing.
The ones who failed were the Northern politicians of the next generation, who gave up on it to appease the Southern Democrats, letting them take back over and do whatever the hell they wanted, so long as it wasn't called "slavery" on the cover.
A Z March 28, 2016 At 16:31
SC only grants reciprocity for states which require firearms safety training prior to the issuance of a permit; because Georgia does not do this, SC refuses to recognize GA permits.
I know the deal with training, but what's their problem with training people to exercise a fundamental right? They just seem like an oddball southern state when it comes to 2A.
Good explanations above.
Jolly Roger Out March 28, 2016 At 13:04
Do these people think that "dangerous people" don't already have "hidden, loaded handgun[s] in public"? Like, is that actually the thought process? Or are they just projecting their own fear and insecurity on those of us not burdened with such things?
Ing March 28, 2016 At 15:18
I think that is exactly the thought process. Government is magic to these people. Never mind reality, if there's a law about "those people," that's all the Good Little Mommies Club needs to feel secure. Until they don't anymore, and then there'll be another magic law. And another one, and another one…
Vhyrus March 28, 2016 At 13:06
When I lived in SC in 2013, they tried to pass the same bill. I went to one of the hearings in Greenville. The room was packed so full that people were leaning against the walls and there wasn't enough time for everyone to speak even though 3 hours was allotted. It was easily over 95% in favor of the bill, yet it died that year too.
The permitting system in SC is jacked. As a resident, my AZ permit was invalid in SC, but as soon as I moved to AZ my permit magically became valid again.
peirsonb March 28, 2016 At 13:43
And how many of those legislators were looking for work after ignoring the will of the 95%?
I'm starting to think maybe this IS a democracy, by virtue of inaction.
Wiregrass March 28, 2016 At 13:18
Sad to see this.
I don't know how much a SC permit costs, but one gets the feeling they just don't want to give up a revenue stream.
Benzo March 28, 2016 At 13:40
Wiregrass, it's $50 for a 5-year permit (plus the cost of the mandatory training, which varies from place to place), and you are exactly right – the reason this won't pass in SC is that it would cause a loss of revenue to the guv'mint. Period. All comments claiming racism forget that time has also passed in SC since the 1960's…we certainly have racists here, but no more than other states IMHO.
GMcCullough March 28, 2016 At 14:04
I am dissapointed that my state has yet aga in pigeonholed this popular measure. Off to find out who was on that subcommittee, nice to know who not to vote for.
BTW the SC Lowcountry is becoming a liberal hellhole as it attracts more and more Yankees fleeing the cold and their states failed economys. But for some reason these folks can't wait to tell us "how much better they done it up north"…and sadly they vote that way too, the guy from Orangeburg is most likely homegrown though.
JR_in_NC March 28, 2016 At 14:59
Carpetbagging has not stopped in 140 years. Still going strong "up" here, too.
I lived in SC for 12 years. I thought it was one of the most split-personality places I'd ever seen…clearly one foot in "Hard Core Southern Self-Independence" and one foot in "Head Up A$$" Progressive nonsense. And often, that was seen in the same person on different issues, especially if that person was involved in state or local government in some fashion.
That is, for the state that seceded first and with many cries of "The South Will Rise Again!" there was an awful lot of "I work for .gov and *I* am in large and in-charge!!" Statism.
It was very strange. (No offense intended, just an observation I made while living there).
Hannibal March 28, 2016 At 14:16
Perhaps he could argue to at least waive fees for permits.
Rural East Texas March 28, 2016 At 15:16
I grew up on the formerly rural outskirts of Charleston and finally accepted reality last year and left. It's sad but the paradise that was the Lowcountry is dead and gone, paved over and covered in condos. The Yankee hordes and ingrained corruption destroyed it.
Publius March 28, 2016 At 15:25
"One of the Republicans who voted against upholding the Constitution was heard shouting "You will KNEEL before Zod!" when a lowly peasant voiced their support for the bill."

Georgia is the golden middle ore more another plant if you see the bording states as sc and florida that have realy terrible public carry laws for shall issue states.


With but a few key ingredients – duxelle, a well seasoned patty, sharp Comté cheese, peppery arugula, and homemade burger sauce – this is the kind of burger that needs nothing else. No tomato. No fancy gourmet toppings. Definitely no ketchup.
1. For the duxelle, pulse the shallots and garlic in a food processor until finely minced. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic; cook 3 minutes until soft. Pulse the mushrooms in the food processor until finely chopped. Add the mushrooms to the skillet with a pinch of salt and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released their liquid, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. For the burger sauce, add the ingredients to a food processor. Process until well combined. Refrigerate until use.
3. Divide ground beef into four portions. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Form each into a ball then flatten into a patty. Season well all over with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a heavy cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Cook 2 burgers at a time until well browned, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and cook another 3-5 minutes. depending on desired doneness. Repeat with remaining burgers. Top with cheese, cover and let steam until cheese is melted. If desired, toast buns.
4. To serve, top bottom bun with duxelle, a burger, and arugula. Spread burger sauce on top bun and enjoy!
My dad has always believed in the importance of using real ingredients in the kitchen, no matter what the dish; so if you want high quality taste, use high quality ingredients. Using real butter and real cream is essential to this dish! The quantities for this recipe are sufficient to feed a group of 6 hungry adults, so you will need to scale it back proportionately for a smaller yield.
Recipe courtesy of Daniele and photos courtesy of Nina from Nina Polidoro Photography.
1. Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in warm water for 30 minutes.
2. Clean and dry the crimini mushrooms. Chop mushrooms into large enough pieces that they can be found in the sauce (avoid chopping them too finely). Place into a bowl.
3. Finely chop a handful of fresh parsley.
5. Coarsely chop the soaked porcini mushrooms.
6. Finely chop ½ of a small onion.
7. Put on a big pot of water to boil – add a tablespoon of salt when the water starts simmering.
8. Set the table. Make it look pretty.
9. Melt butter in the pan on medium heat, bringing it to a sizzle.
10. Add onions, frying them until golden in colour – add the mushrooms, and bring the mixture to a high temperature. Allow this to cook for about 8 minutes, stirring regularly.
11. Add 3 pinches of parsley, and the mushroom juice (about 1 cup), chicken stock (1 cup – this could be substituted for vegetable stock, if you prefer), and cream (1 ½ cups).
12. Stir the sauce, and reduce to medium heat.
14. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes once the cream has been added; it may look like a lot of sauce in comparison to the amount of pasta you're using, but the pasta will soak up some of the sauce.
15. Add pasta to boiling water, stir regularly to ensure it doesn't stick (for this quantity of fresh pasta, this takes approximately 5-7 minutes to reach el dente).
16. Strain the pasta and add to sauce in a serving bowl. Garnish pasta with fresh parsley, and add grated parmesan to taste.


The Google Media Academy offered some Tips and Tricks on how to efficiently use the Google Search Engine.
Google Search can either be the most useful tool there is - or the most confusing. It all depends on how one uses is.
In order to reach maximum efficiency, the Google Team comes up with two search development ideas per day and conducts about 30,000 experiments annually on Google Users (which amounts to 1% of global Google Users.
Yesterday, the Google Media Academy in Cairo held a session hosted by its Head of Public Relations for the Middle East and North Africa Maha Abo ElEnein, dealing with Advanced Search Tips and Tricks.
1. Spell Checker: When the user mispells a word, Google automatically defaults to the most common spelling of that possible word.
Example: If I type "eygpt", Google will automatically search for "egypt" and suggest the correct spelling of my entered search term.
2. Voice Search: At the end of Google's Search Bar, there is a small icon that looks like a microphone. When clicking on it, one can perform a voice search by saying what one is looking for out loud. This service is also available in Arabic now.
3. "Upload Image"-Search: Google Images gives the user the option to upload an image instead of entering a search term. Similar images will then appear as the search results.
4. From Information Technology to Knowledge Technology: Recently, Google has been trying to understand the search term besides merely searching it. That means that in certain situations, the search engine offers you the answer to your query before giving you links to a website. This works for time-queries, currency conversion, calculations and graphs, stocks, weather etc.
Example: When I enter "euro to EGP", the first result that pops us is "1 Euro = 7.92970941 Egyptian pounds" - the actual currency rate. Yet, there remain some glitches and not all queries written in that way offer knowledge-technology-based results, so it does not always work.
1. Long sentences do not give good results, which is why one should initially start searching about a topic with just two general terms and then add more specific ones after taking a look at the primary search results.
2. Usually, punctuation is ignored, so avoid adding commas, full stops and exclamation marks.
3. If one wants to look for a phrase, one should place it between quotation marks, so as to avoid search results where each term is searched for seperately.
4. When wanting to exclude sites with a certain term from the search results, place a "-" before the word.
Example: Enter "fruits -mango" and the search results will offer all pages about fruits that do not mention "mango".
5. When searching for results related or similar to a certain website, type the word "related:" before the search term.
Example: Type "related:facebook.com" into the search bar, and Google will give you links to similar social network websites, such a MySpace, YouTube, Hi5 etc.
6. When wanting to search within a website, type "site:" before the site-domain and the search term.
Example: Type "site:egypt-business.com imf loan" and all pages about the IMF loan on Egypt Business Directory will appear.
Whatever you are searching for, always check out the "Advanced Search Options" at the bottom of any Google-search-results-page to filter what you got according to color, file-type, date, language etc.

José Soares Santa (Ovar,  — Ovar, ) était un boxeur portugais qui a atteint une renommée mondiale dans les années 1930. Il était connu comme Santa Camarão qui était un surnom de la famille.

Biographie

Fils d'António Soares Santa et Josefa Pereira dos Santos, il mesurait  en pesait environ . José Santa était l'un des plus grands poids lourds de l'histoire de la boxe.

Sa carrière de boxeur a duré de 1925 et 1933. En 1929, il a perdu le titre européen face à Pierre Charles. Il a combattu dans différents pays d'Europe, d'Amérique du Nord et d'Amérique latine et a affronté des champions tels que Max Baer et Primo Carnera au Madison Square Garden.

En 1931, il a remporté 31 combats consécutifs aux États-Unis.

Santa Camarão a participé au film Liebe Im Ring (1930) dirigé par Reinhold Schünzel à Berlin. Dans ce film, où pour la première fois quelqu'un parle portugais, apparaît aussi le boxeur Max Schmeling.

En 1932, il est marié avec une luso-américaine, Mary Loreto. Santa Camarão retourne au Portugal pour y vivre à Ovar. Il meurt en 1968.

Le gouvernement portugais lui a décerné à titre posthume la Médaille des Bons Services Sportifs en 2003.

Curiosités
Une rue de Lisbonne porte son nom (Rua José Santa Camarão).

Un livre a également été publié : Com o Mundo nos Punhos - Elementos para uma biografia de José de Santa Camarão, écrit par  Luís Maçarico.

Marcos Muge est l'auteur d'une sculpture et de divers tableaux du boxeur. La première exposition en hommage à Santa Camarão s'est déroulée du 5 au  dans le Musée de Ovar.

Maker International VentureCraft Corp. describes the One-Person SportSub Solo as a "yacht toy." That can't be a good sign of its retail price. Another bad omen: their Website lists no costs for the submarines themselves, but does give pricing for spare parts and upgrades that start at around $3,000, and head up to $15,000 or so. Yikes. I'd estimate a brand new SportSub Solo--the company's most basic underwater exploration kit--rings it at around $40,000. Which is why online auctions and secondhand shops still hold a special place in my financially destitute heart. For the next 24 hours--through September 11, 2012--a dude on Ebay is auctioning off his lone ranger submarine for a base price of $4,500. The reserve has yet to be met, so chances are a single bid at that amount would take home the subsurface wanderer.
The SportSub Solo, recently featured on Ultimate Air Jaws during the Discovery Channel's Shark Week, is a wet submarine. Meaning that the pilot's head is his or her only body part not exposed to water. Noggins are encased in a dome-shaped, water-tight air pocket atop the watercraft, which receives a constant flow of oxygen at depths of up to 30 feet, for dives times of up to 60 minutes. A duo of thrusters allow for precise control and maneuverability, with the sub capable of rotating in its own length, hovering, and flying straight up and down--a range of movements similar to those of a helicopter.
Two marine batteries power the SportSub Solo, and help clock its weight in at 150 pounds. The kit comes standard with a complete set of all accessories necessary to operate it, less the a SCUBA tank for the air supply, dive computer, compass, and battery charger to recharge the vessel's batteries. Check out further descriptions and technical specs here.
The Ebay seller's SportSub--which he states cost over $30,000 new--is ready to ship on heavy-duty pallets from the Los Angeles area. It includes all documentation and manuals. Despite negative pricing implications, classification as a "yacht toy" has the positive effect of excusing the submarine from most States' registration and title requirements.

Dodgers Pay Tribute To Tommy Lasorda Before Saturday's Game
Filed Under:Dodgers, Tommy Lasorda
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – The Los Angeles Dodgers paid tribute to their late Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda before Saturday's game at Dodger Stadium against the Washington Nationals.

READ MORE: NFL Playoffs: Rams Vs. Cardinals LIVE
In a video shown on the stadium's 'DodgerVision', fans were treated to around 5 minutes of clips of Lasorda interspersed with recollections from players and Dodger manager Dave Roberts.
The tribute concluded with a video of Lasorda singing "My Way," by his friend Frank Sinatra.
In the video, Clayton Kershaw recalled meeting Lasorda for the first time in 2006 when he and his mother had come to Dodger Stadium to sign his first contract with the Dodgers.
"From that day on, I don't think Tommy ever saw my mom again but he always asked about her by her first name," Kershaw said. "I thought it was really cool that he met her one time and remembered my mom's name. I thought that was pretty special."
Corey Seager talked about how "incredible" Lasorda was.

"He was one of those baseball figures and human beings you can't replicate," Seager said. "What he did for this organization, what he did for baseball and what's he's done for so many players is far beyond anything that I've experienced."
Throughout the season, players will wear a memorial patch on the right sleeve of their jerseys with Lasorda's name and number.
Various items from Lasorda's office will be available for public viewing in displays located in the Right Field Pavilion.
Lasorda managed the Dodgers from the tail end of the 1976 season to midway through the 1996 season, guiding them to seven National League West Division championships, four National League pennants and World Series titles in 1981 and 1988. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997.
Lasorda died on January 7th of this year. He was 93.

Hello and welcome to another episode of a brief history. Today's episode: Harry Potter. Ready? Set? Go!
Somewhere between Manchester and London 1990 a train gets delayed. On this train, 25-year-old Joanne Rowling is surprised to have a young, black-haired, visually impaired wizard boy fall onto her lap. She proceeded to spend the next four hours frustrated at her lack of writing implements, day dreaming about wizard school. Soon after, she began writing what would eventually become Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Nearly six years later in 1995, Joanne completes this manuscript and sends it to the Christopher Little Agency because she liked the name. Bryan Evans, the manager of the slush pile at the agency, picked up Rowling's submission because, according to her, she liked the folder. It made her laugh, so she slipped it into the pile of stuff that the eponymous Mr. Little would read during his lunch. He decided that they'd rep (?) this young lady and her wizard book, and four days later she had an agent.
And then nine rejections in maybe he started regretting it. Publishers said that it was classist and that no one went to boarding schools and young adult's fiction should be realistic, dangit! But, Barry Cunningham at Bloomsbury showed some interest, and, according to his memory, paid two thousand pounds for the British rights to a book that would eventually go on to sell over a hundred million copies. They printed five hundred hardcovers of the first addition, thinking that maybe eventually the book would earn out that two thousand pound advance. If you have one of those five hundred hardcover first editions, you might want to head over to eBay because it's worth over forty thousand dollars.
But that's still a ways off in our story. Jo's real success came after Christopher Little convinced her not to sell the American rights right away, but instead to do everything she could do to scrape by while waiting for the book to get some traction in the UK. Needless to say, it worked and after a year of waiting, they sold the book to Scholastic for over one hundred thousand dollars. Arthur Levine at Scholastic thought it would earn out this amount in about ten years. And yet that money took quite a lot of time to come in. While she worked on the second book in the series, Chamber of Secrets, Rowling was still living in a one bedroom apartment. Her only income for that year was an eight thousand pound grant from the Scottish arts council.
In 1997, Philosopher's Stone won the prestigious Smarties prize for children's literature; by the end of 1998, it had sold over seventy thousand copies in the UK, and Chamber of Secrets had debuted at number one on the British best-seller list--the first children's book ever to do that in the UK. Now remember, it's common for books to come out at different times in different countries, and that was the case for Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban. 1999 became the true tipping point of the series, as fans in the US started paying outrageous prices for companies to ship them copies of Chamber, which actually came out in the UK before Philosopher's stone came out in the US under the name Sorcerer's stone.
So Scholastic went a little nuts trying to figure out what to do and what they did was speed up the release. So, during 1999, there were three releases: Prisoner of Azkaban in the UK, and Chamber of Secrets and Azkaban in the US. Everything was set for the first international simultaneous release of the fourth book, Goblet of Fire in the year 2000. By this time, the internet had reached critical mass, Harry Potter become a phenomenon and the publishers set a midnight release date at 3:45 PM so that kids would have time to get in line but wouldn't have to stay up past their bedtimes. The news cameras got their shots of the kids lined up around the block for the book and Harry Potter was secured as a cultural phenomenon that if you hadn't read, you had at least heard about.
Goblet of Fire's release literally broke the New York Times bestseller list. It's hard to imagine this, but before Harry Potter, only on e kid's book had ever been on the list--Charlotte's Web, which was there for three weeks more than fifty years ago. By the time Goblet of Fire came out, Sorcerer's Stone had been on the list for eighty weeks and the three sequels were also taking up valuable spots, so when they came out the New York Times split the list eight ways so that Rowling wouldn't have 40% of it all to herself.
Since its debut in 1997, the Harry Potter series has become one of the most popular and successful book series in history, selling over 450 million copies across all seven books as of July 2013. It wasn't only a great achievement for a single book; it was a great achievement for children's books in general, which since Harry Potter changed the landscape, have been some of the most popular books in the world.
And from here you probably know the story: Chris Columbus is secured to make the first of a series of Harry Potter movies, Order of the Phoenix has a 6.4 million copy first printing, a record that was only broken by Half-Blood Prince with a 10.8 million copy first printing, a record that was then only broken and still held by the 12 million copy first printing of the Deathly Hallows. The movies have grossed over 9 billion dollars, and the books have sold more than 450 million copies. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the fourth best selling nuvel. Nuvel? Nuvel?!? Did I really just say nuvel? Of ever!
And of course, books and movies would be a terrible place to stop. Most movies get action figures, lunch boxes, posters, and t-shirts, but rarely do they get their own theme parks, conventions, musical genres, and massive interactive websites. Rowling has gone on to write several more successful novels outside of the wizarding world, but as we have all hoped, she is returning with a series of screen plays revolving around the live of Newt Scamander, the fictitious author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a short humorous textbook that Rowling wrote for charity. It and its companion book, Quidditch through the ages, have raised over 17 million pounds for the aid organization comic relief.
Harry Potter isn't just a franchise; it became a world-wide phenomenon, a cultural movement that has completely changed people's lives no matter their age. It's the kind of thing that only happens once a generation or even once in a lifetime: a story so epic and fantastical and yet so down to earth and relatable. From the books and the films to the countless songs and fan fictions, Harry Potter serves a true testament to how even the tiniest spark of imagination can lead to something amazing. And twenty four years after that train ride to London, it seems that the Boy Who Lived will never die. Thanks for watching, guys. DFTBA.

Our ongoing World Of Servers series swept through London last week for the Gartner Enterprise Architecture Summit. Here are five key lessons to take away from that event.
Operating a data centre isn't easy even in a relatively static business environment, but modern technology trends make it more difficult than ever. Here are five to watch out for.
Think you can emulate Amazon, eBay or other modern software giants? You'll never get there unless you abandon a conventional silo-driven approach to building apps.
Would Your Workplace Security Improve If You Killed Most Of It?
Large organisations spend billions every year trying to secure their workplace environments. Would they be better off ditching most of that expenditure?
Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) seems an inescapable reality at this point for most enterprises, but that doesn't mean there isn't still work to be done by the IT department to make it a manageable scenario. Here are ten rapid-fire strategies to adopt to make BYOD more workable in your environment.
Gamification -- using techniques adopted from video games for training, innovation and customer engagement -- is a commonly-discussed topic in IT circles. But how can you make a gamification project work? Here are some practical tips.
We know that big data skills are in short supply and experts in the field command serious money. You may not be able to fill all the gaps for analytical expertise in your company, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't remind management that the gaps exist.
It's a familiar refrain -- IT should serve business, not the other way around. How can you actually make that happen? These five simple hints should help.
Our World Of Servers coverage continues this week with posts from the Gartner Enterprise Architecture Summit in London. We'll be featuring posts all week covering how to plan and deploy your overall enterprise architecture for maximum business value and efficiency.


I got a speeding ticket recently.
Since you ask, 57 mph on a 50 mph stretch of a "smart motorway".
I took my punishment like a man (see below) and went on one of those Driving Awareness Courses that are an alternative to three points on your driving licence. Mine was a Motorway Awareness Course.
I thought I was the only person I know who's been on one. Turns out everybody I know seems to have been on one. Or two. Or…..
So we (23 men, 2 women – hmmm) got together for a really instructive and (yes) enjoyable afternoon where we learned about Smart Motorways.
They're great! The Smart Motorways and the courses.
The basic concept of a Smart Motorway is that by going slower we will all get there quicker.
So, via a network of cameras and computers, judgements are made about the likelihood of traffic jams (or worse) occurring up the road if we all continue at our current speeds, and decisions are made that are communicated to us via the variable speed limit signs.
Decisions like imposing a 50 mph limit now, to avoid us having to stop completely in 5 miles. How good is that!
The point, of course, is that if we all continue simply to do what we think is best for us as individuals (drive at 70), we will all lose out.
But the other point is that not knowing that, we will all continue to act selfishly.
So the variable speed limits have to be compulsory. Not just optional.
And now for the obvious parallel.
In the place where you work, where are you acting selfishly rather than for the greater good of the whole group.
And how many people are losing out as a result?
And just maybe, as with Smart Motorways, you're one of them.
Maybe we all need to do a Smart Motorway course. For lots of reasons.

The Calgary Model
The animal control bylaw in Calgary, Alberta, Canada has been hailed by many as a HUGE success. While other cities and provinces in Canada are banning breeds, Calgary is choosing education program and stronger enforcement. What's the end result? By all accounts, reports and statistics, the bylaw is working! Not only that, the bylaw works so well and the results are so highly praised, Calgary is inspiring animal control officials outside of Canada to use the bylaw as a model for their own animal control ordinances.
The following is written by Dana Grove:
The bylaw officers in Calgary have taken a stand against breed banning, and responded to dog bite concerns with a tougher licensing program and stronger enforcement. The City of Calgary also spends considerable funds on dog safety public awareness and education campaigns. Research shows that just 1 hour of dog safety training in grades 2 and 3 can reduce these attacks by 80%.
"We don't punish breeds, we punish behavior," said chief bylaw officer Bill Bruce. "The bottom line is, we believe all dogs are capable of biting."
In Calgary, 90 per cent of dogs are licensed, allowing bylaw officers to keep track of pets and owners. The city also has a strict fine structure that includes a $250 penalty for chase incidents and $350 fines for bites. The bylaw also allows the officers to declare specific dogs as "dangerous" and this label brings with it higher license fees, muzzling rules and age restrictions on the dog's handlers. The bylaw states that a dog can only be destroyed by owner request or court order.
The county of Newell in Alberta received dozens of letters and e-mails from around the world from people who oppose breed restrictions, said deputy Reeve Jack Harbinson.
"We decided after listening to the people, they were right," he said.
The success of their actions? Approximately 1000 reported dog bites in 1985 and 260 reported dog bites in 2003.
Calgary's dangerous dog legislation was implemented in response to the bite problem. Dangerous dog, not dangerous breed. The results speak for themselves – a 70% drop in the number of OVERALL dog bites.
The measures Calgary has taken have shown results, and set a model and a precedent that should be implemented across Canada. THIS is the model Ontario should be looking at…

Calgary dog attacks fall to lowest level in 25 years
City a leader in reducing canine problems, says top bylaw officer
By Sean Myers, Calgary HeraldFebruary 21, 2009
Attacks by aggressive dogs are at the lowest level they've been in 25 years despite a steady population growth and the absence of breed-specific legislation brought in to tackle canine issues in other jurisdictions.
Despite the low numbers, Calgary's top bylaw officer plans to delve deeper into the causes of dog attacks to try to bring the incidents even lower.
"This is exactly what we've been targeting," said Bill Bruce. "Our ultimate goal, of course, is to get it to zero, or as close to that as possible."
Bruce said Calgary is a leader in reducing dog attacks in Canada, noting that he often receives invitations from animal services around the world to talk about the work done here to reduce dog bites.
Calgary bylaw officers recorded 340 reported aggressive dog incidents in 2008 which included chases, bites and damage to property.
Of those, 145 complaints were bites.
In 2007, 374 aggressive dog calls were made, including 137 bites, and in 2006, of 402 aggressive dog complaints, 199 were for bites.
By comparison, back in 1985, the city received a whopping 1,938 aggressive dog complaints, including 621 bites, at a time when Calgary had a population of just over 600,000.
A new pet owner bylaw was brought in three years ago that included stiffer fines and a recognition that aggressive behaviour in dogs is normally traced back to irresponsible owners. Bruce said both the heavier penalties -- ranging from $350 to $1,500, to euthanizing the dog--and the philosophy of blaming bad owners rather than pets has helped reduce incidents.
This year, Bruce is launching a pilot project where he'll have six officers dedicated to following up every aggressive dog complaint to identify common factors in attacks that can be addressed in future bylaw enforcement and public education campaigns.
"We want to look at everything that led up to an aggressive dog attack," said Bruce. "We're hoping to find four to six common things that people do that causes dogs to bite. Our goal is not to have anyone bitten by a dog."
At the same time Bruce investigates softer approaches to addressing pet owner issues, he's also been given a bigger stick with which to penalize chronically non-compliant dog owners.
In the fall, bylaw enforcement gained the right to tag a dog as a nuisance pet, which means doubling the fines on the owner.
One dog has already received this designation, according to Bruce.
Brandy Campbell-Biggs, president of Pit Bulls For Life, a non-profit animal rescue operation geared specifically toward pit bulls, said targeting bad owners instead of stigmatizing entire breeds is the key to reducing aggressive incidents.
While dog bites have been going down, the number of pit bulls coming to the city has been increasing, she said.
She doesn't know how many there are in the city, but her organization has placed 160 pit bulls in foster homes or with permanent adoptive owners in Calgary over the past three and a half years.
Pit Bulls For Life brings the dogs in from jurisdictions with breed-specific legislation that sees many breeds deemed dangers, including pit bulls, targeted for euthanasia. She said 20 per cent of the dogs they help come from Ontario.
"We have a lot more pit bulls in Calgary now," said Campbell-Briggs. "Part of the reason is we don't have breed-specific legislation. I'm proud to be a Calgarian because our animal by-law officers deal with specific incidents and don't deal with it as a breed issue. There's no bias and that's so important."
Pit Bulls For Life doesn't take in any dogs with histories of aggression toward humans or other animals and says it works with the city bylaw department to educate owners.
Canada Post has also noticed a slight reduction in dog incidents involving its letter carriers in Calgary that bucks the trend nationally.
From January to August last year, 25 dog incidents were reported by carriers, two of which resulted in time off work. In the same time period in 2007, 28 incidents were reported, with three requiring time away from work.
An aggressive dog can lead to an entire block losing mail service until the animal is brought under control.
"We have to ensure the safety of our employees--your front step and front yard are our employees'workplace,"said Andrean Wolvers, Canada Post safety manager for Calgary. "We tell our employees when in doubt, get out."
Wolvers says partnerships with the city and other organizations that send employees into residential neighbourhoods has helped reduce dog attacks on posties.
"The city and Bill Bruce have been very proactive," said Wolvers.
The Calgary Humane Society said the working relationship it has with the city is unique in Canada.
"We have a very collaborative relation-ship. When we talk to other humane societies, they say we're the only ones they've heard of that have a positive working relationship with the city bylaw department," said Calgary Humane Society spokeswoman Lindsay Jones.
"Other cities learn from us and the way we do things here."

Attacks, aggressive dog incidents down
UPDATED: 2007-03-18 14:32:23 MST
Bylaw boss credits new rules, owner awareness
By NADIA MOHARIB, SUN MEDIA
The number of aggressive dog incidents in the city is down with officials crediting beefed up bylaws for the decline. The rate of aggression cases between dogs dropped by 56%, from 162 to 72 between 2005 and last year, bylaw boss Bill Bruce told the Sun. Biting incidents are also down by 21% to 199, he added. "It wasn't all about cats," he said referring to the city's highly publicized introduction of a cat bylaw. "We did a lot to change our bylaws." He said stiff fines for offences combined with increased education likely led to the good news. Owners can face fines of $350 if their dogs bite someone and $750 if that person needs medical attention.
An attack can mean a fine of $1,500. Being blamed for a dog on dog attack sees an owner stuck with a $250 fine. "You, as a pet owner are 100 percent responsible," Bruce said. "It's not controlling pets, it's about holding people responsible for their pets." In the city of Calgary all cats and dogs three months of age and older must have a licence. The penalty for not licensing a cat or dog is $250.00. A animal licence enables Animal Services to return a missing cat or dog as soon as possible to an owner. According to the latest city census there are 92,563 dogs in Calgary up from 83,475 in 1998.
The 2001 census showed there were about 90,000 cats, up by nearly 50% from the previous polling of Calgarians.

Change my view- No such thing as "mastiffs"

First of all, the site looks great Gary. This is Tonedog from back in the day. I decided to just randomly see if molosserdogs was still around, fearing the worst, but wow, looks good. Maybe some controversial debate will help liven the place up a bit? lol Over the last few years I've been continuing my recreational research into dogs and dog history (which has now spanned many decades), and I've stumbled onto a realization that "mastiffs" basically don't exist and never did. Hear me out... I believe the mastiff category is merely comprised of retired dogs from various other functional types. They have no real genetic foundation making them a group and no real ancestral function. If you n

Training Preferences
There are those that believe that everyone should not use any aversive when training a dog or doing behavioral modification. They believe operant and classical condition is the only way to go. Others prefer to use force corrections. They use tools like check chains, pronged collars, e-collars, etc. There are also those that call themselves balance trainers. Instead of trying to train a dog or modify its behavior by force only or positive reinforcement only they believe nature teaches us that you need to have a balance between both in when dealing with dogs. I'm curious as to what other preference are? Where do you stand on this subject. I won't condemn anyone for their methods of choice

LENE LOVICH STATELESS AGAIN
New Wave chart star LENE LOVICH has announced a series of UK dated in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of her Stiff Records debut, Stateless.
The Detroit-born UK-based singer's debut album reached the Top 40 of the UK Album Charts in March '79, yielding two Top 20 singles in 'Say When' and the No.3 smash 'Lucky Number'. It also featured a version of the Tommy James & The Shondells evergreen 'I Think We're Alone Now', the original A-side to 'Lucky Number' before the latter was picked up by radio DJs.
Lene will be heading out on tour from Friday 8th until Saturday 23rd March, including a show at The Garage in London on Thursday 21st, playing the album in its entirety, as well as other favourites.
"It is incredibly flattering to know that people are still interested in Stateless after all these years," she says. "And it is always humbling to learn what it has meant to people on a personal level. We all have music which becomes the soundtrack to our lives, and to know that people are still listening is the highest compliment that you can ever be paid as an artist and a performer. Far from being near nostalgia, taking the album out on the road for its anniversary year is a way of saying thank you, both to the fans who have appreciated it for so long, and also to the songs themselves, which have meant so very much to me and gave me such a wonderful start on this journey."

Thieves Steal Swedish Royal Jewels, Escape by Speedboat - Integration Through Media ....!
(VOA): Thieves in Sweden walked into a small town's medieval cathedral in broad daylight and stole priceless crown jewels dating back to the early 1600s before escaping by speedboat, police said Wednesday.
Police sent out a helicopter and boat to hunt for the thieves but found nothing. Authorities said no one was hurt in the robbery, but didn't provide further details.
"The two men hurriedly jumped on board and it sped off," Rowell said, adding that they "appeared non-Nordic." He didn't elaborate.
On Wednesday, divers were looking for clues in and along the shores of Lake Malaren. Sweden's third-largest freshwater lake. Police said the thieves could have fled further on jet skis, adding it was only a theory.
The stolen items are "impossible to sell" because of their uniqueness and high visibility, Maria Ellior of the Swedish police's National Operations Department told the Swedish news agency TT.
Strangnas is a small, quiet town with a population of about 13,000. It's popular with Stockholm commuters and tourists, who come to see the cathedral and a street that has been called the prettiest in Sweden.
The Gothic-style cathedral, built between 1291 and 1340, is in the heart of the town. The cathedral's red-brick tower with a black top can be seen from kilometers around.
"It's despicable that people would steal from a holy building," he said.

AUSTIN, Texas — Fifty-three-year-old Annette Price visits prisoners every week in hopes that sharing their stories gives them hope.
"If they stay the path and get the support that they need, that they, too, have a healthy life after incarceration," Price continued.
Price thinks they really listen, because she has seen life through their eyes. She was incarcerated when she was 20 years old and expecting.
"It's like your cage. You have no dignity, you lose all your respect, and you just feel like you're in this crowded world and nobody is listening," Price said.
And life after has not been easy.
"My conviction is like 32 years old and I'm still where it's hard for me to find housing. So that was a huge, huge barrier, as well as (being a barrier to) employment," Price said.
Now, she is working with advocates and nonprofits so other women do not have to go through what she has been through.
In a report released Thursday by the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition, the female prison populated in Texas increased 980 percent from 1980 to 2016. More 430 women answered a survey which included questions about prior victimization, substance abuse, poverty and motherhood. A majority said they are mothers, are living with a mental illness or experienced physical or sexual trauma before incarceration.
"You have the caregivers, more often the sole providers for children being incarcerated for offenses that seem to be really directly related to their experiences of victimization," said Lindsey Linder, a policy attorney for the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition.
The group is now urging policymakers to respond to women's needs and address the issues that lead women to prison. Recommendations are focused on pretrial diversion for non-violent offenders, community level support for those living with trauma, and specialized treatment for women on probation. They're also would like to see reforms to the bail system and more programming for those with drug offenses.
The report is based on data from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which manages the state's prisons. They tell Spectrum News they have not had an opportunity to fully review the report in order to make a comment prior to the publication of this story.


It is entirely possible to audit a part of an organization's operation, for example, in radiotherapy the treatment machine calibration and dosimetric accuracy, or to assess all the processes and equipment employed for the successful treatment of the patient. Given the critical interplay between people and machines in radiotherapy, reviewing all the processes and equipment involved in the care of the patient from referral to discharge provides a more comprehensive overview of programme quality.
The IAEA's Comprehensive Audit is performed by a team of at least three senior radiotherapy professionals – a radiation oncologist, medical physicist and radiation therapist – who spend 3 – 5 days on site at the facility. The auditors follow a well designed protocol and they have all received additional training in auditing procedures. The audit itself comprises a review of policies and procedures, a review of the treatment planning system database and the quality assurance program as well as in-depth discussions with upper level and front line staff. In all, 37 multi-item checklists are completed during the site review. The medical physicist member of the team also makes dosimetric measurements on the treatment units. A preliminary assessment of the programme is provided to the institution at the conclusion of the visit followed some time later by a detailed written report with recommendations for quality improvement. Adoption of the reviewers' recommendations is purely at the discretion of the institution.
An overview of auditing in general is provided in the text book chapter. Details of the comprehensive on-site auditing process, including the 37 checklists, are provided in the IAEA publication Comprehensive Audits of Radiotherapy Practices: A Tool for Quality Improvements.

Is Libya's Latest Oil Production Target Too Ambitious?
By Irina Slav - Oct 28, 2018, 12:00 PM CDT
Libya is one of the most unreliable oil producers in OPEC and outside it. Production outages are a frequent occurrence as various armed groups vie for power over the country's oil riches. Yet despite continued political instability and a deep economic crisis, Libya's National Oil Corporation has ambitious goals: by the end of 2019, its chairman Mustafa Sanalla told Bloomberg recently, NOC plans to pump 1.6 million bpd of crude, the level of production from the times before the 2011 civil war.
And that's not all. Further down the road, Sanalla has said earlier, plans are to boost production to 2 million bpd by 2022 and even more later. As doubtful as this may seem at first glance, NOC may have good reason to make these plans.
Earlier this year some of Libya's largest fields suffered outages resulting from militant attacks, pipeline blockades, and even excessive heat in late May. These outages caused the expected slumps in daily production to some 660,000 by the summer, but since July, the rate reached at the end of last year (around 1 million bpd) has been restored.
The latest sign yet that things in Libya may be on the mend was the announcement by BP and Eni that they will start drilling at a field they share in early 2019. BP won two exploration licenses in Libya back in 2007, but the 2011 civil war interrupted its plans for the country. Eni agreed to buy a 42.5-percent interest in BP's exploration and production sharing agreement with NOC earlier this month, and they are now ready to start drilling in the offshore block.
Of course, challenges—and pretty serious ones—remain, turning Libya into an important swing producer as far as global supply is concerned. Parliamentary elections are scheduled for December, but the situation remains so tense that the UN envoy to Libya, Ghassan Salame, said earlier this month that the vote might not take place.
Related: China's Oil Addiction Is Its Main Weakness As A Superpower
What this comment amounts to is a warning that Libya is still a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. Yet it seems there is now some insulation around this keg. Despite their squabbles, all the political and military factions in the Northern African state that has the largest oil reserves on the continent seem to realize jeopardizing oil revenues is counterproductive for everyone.
This was demonstrated most clearly earlier this year after a prolonged fight for the Oil Crescent terminals between the LNA, which has controlled them since 2016, and militant groups eager to challenge the LNA's dominant position. Once again the LNA won, but this time, unlike last, it handed control to the terminals to the non-recognized NOC, affiliated with the eastern government, equally unrecognized by the UN. This surprising move pushed prices up immediately, but soon after, the LNA and the official NOC settled their differences; after all, held-up cargos for export yield no revenues.
So, it looks like the National Oil Corporation is getting better at dealing with production outages and challenges to its control of the country's oil industry. While December could bring more price volatility if those in charge of the elections decide to go through with them, possibly sparking more conflicts, this might be short-lived as all those benefiting from oil exports get used to the fact that they all need these exports.

This Alliance Could Mark A New Era For Oil
U.S. Shale Has A Glaring Problem
Oil Holds Steady As Rig Count Stagnates
The Real Reason For The Big Sell Off In Oil
Mamdouh G Salameh on October 28 2018 said:
Despite continued political instability and a deep economic crisis, Libya is aiming to raise its oil production to 1.6 million barrels a day (mbd) by the end of 2019, the level of production from the times before the 2011 civil war. Whilst many experts and analysts might find Libya's oil production target too ambitious, there are some underlying factors which could help Libya achieve it.
One major factor is that despite the squabbles, all the political and military factions in Libya which has the largest proven oil reserves in Africa estimated at 48.4 billion barrels (bb) seem to realize that jeopardizing oil revenues is counterproductive for everyone. If the strife continues, the oil wealth of the country will be squandered by outages and corruption with none of them benefiting from it.
The second factor is that Libya's importance to the stability of the global oi market will only increase with outages in Venezuela and elsewhere and also with the approach of the US sanctions on Iran's oil exports. Libya's rising production could stave off some unexpected production declines and could also keep oil under the $100 mark.
The third factor is the announcement by Western oil giants BP and ENI that they will start drilling at a field they share in early 2019. BP won two exploration licenses in Libya back in 2007, but the 2011 civil war interrupted its plans for the country. ENI agreed to buy a 42.5%-interest in BP's exploration and production sharing agreement with Libya's National Oil Company (NOC) earlier this month and they are now ready to start drilling in the offshore block.
A fourth factor is that after years of acting as a bystander with Libya increasingly spiralling out of control, the European powers particularly France and Italy are finally wading into the debate over how to put an end to the civil war they started which has wracked the country for the better part of a decade.
Why is this sudden volte-face? It doesn't take a cynic to see commercial motives as the driving force behind the newfound impetus to fix Libya. France would love to install a diplomatic ally in North Africa, while oil titan ENI — 30% owned by the Italian state —hopes to resume oil and gas exploration in Libya. Regardless of their motivations, Western attempts to begin repairing the damage they caused in Libya are a welcome change to the status quo of interminable instability.
In October this year Libya's production has risen to 1.278 mbd from 1 mbd in September. Libya's NOC hopes that BP and ENI could help to expand production to 1.6 mbd by the end of next year. And that's not all. The NOC has plans to boost production to 2 mbd by 2022. As doubtful as this may seem at first glance, NOC may have good reason to make these plans.
At 48 bb, Libya has the 9th-largest proven oil reserves in the world and the largest reserves in Africa.
Libya is considered a highly attractive oil area due to its low cost of oil production (as low as $1 per barrel at some fields), and proximity to European markets. Libya's challenge is maintaining production at mature fields, while finding and developing new oil fields. Most of Libya remains unexplored as a result of past sanctions and disagreements with foreign oil companies.
Although the majority of the grades are light-sweet and rich in gasoline, the country also has some very light crude such as Mellitah, which not only has a high gasoline and naphtha yield, but is also useful for blending with heavier crudes which cannot be refined on their own.

Study Shows Atmosphere and Discipline at Government Schools Have Plummeted
by Eliezer Rauchberger
University of Bar Ilan researchers presented the Knesset Education Committee with a study that found vast differences in atmosphere and discipline in separate chareidi educational institutions from government schools--both secular and religious.
On the topic of feelings of belonging to the school the chareidi education system received 74 points in the study, compared to 39 points for secular government schools, 38 points for religious government schools and 42 points for non- Jewish schools.
In the area of teacher-student relations the chareidi education system received 100 points compared to just seven points for secular government schools, 24 points for religious government schools and 18 points for non-Jewish schools.
On the question of teacher support, the chareidi education system received 36 points compared to -1 for secular government schools, -13 for religious government schools and 24 points for non-Jewish schools.
Perhaps the most significant figure was the issue of classroom atmosphere and discipline. The chareidi education system received 28 points compared to just -52 points for secular government schools, -28 points for religious government schools and 5 points for non-Jewish schools.
In the area of teacher morale the chareidi education system received 29 points compared to 14 points for secular government schools, 7 points for religious government schools and -48 points for non-Jewish schools.
The authors of the study, Professor Z. Mevarech and Dr. B. Karmarasky, presented additional figures and said according to their data there is a direct correlation between age and attendance. Older students are increasingly absent or tardy or do not participate in class. They say only 55 percent of students maintain a high attendance rate. They also note pressure to achieve is below the international average.
The stunning gap in the area of classroom discipline and atmosphere led all of the committee members to express concern over the future of the education system in Israel. Professor Yaakov Katz, chairman of the Education Ministry's pedagogical secretariat, said there is no balance today between students' rights and teachers' ability to impose discipline. "We've lost the teacher's deterrence capability and he is afraid to take action and report," he said. "There are directives but there is a reluctance to implement them."
Teachers' union representatives attributed teachers' lack of authority to inadequate Education Ministry backing and called for a new teachers' authority law.
Following the presentation of the findings, MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni suggested the Minister of Education and the Prime Minister resign from office. Unlike other social problems, here the education of the coming generations is at stake as children grow up without discipline and without values, said Rabbi Gafni, calling on them to accept ministerial responsibility for this grave state of affairs. Rather than devoting efforts to making changes in the chareidi sector, he added, they ought to devote more attention to the government education system, which has reached alarming lows.
MK Meshulam Nahari (Shas) said the education system has failed to create the positive climate needed to bring about excellence and high achievement. He called on the school system to focus more on education and less on grade obsession.
MK Marina Solodkin (Likud) said she is not surprised by the worrisome findings "which reflect our true face as a society, and are not a defect among students alone."
MK Yuli Tamir (Labor) also said the figures reflect Israeli society, which is violent and lacks direction and ideology, compared to chareidi education which does have values and ideology.
Rabbi Avrohom Y. Lazerzon, one of the heads of Chinuch Atzmoi, said, "Neither proposed legislation nor government pedagogical committees will in any way solve the diseases of the general education system. There is only one, single way. And as difficult as it may be for you to admit it the time has come for you to acknowledge the need to return to traditional Jewish education, which even according to the surveys yields very positive results compared to the very negative results and the sour fruits of the government educational system. The students are not to blame, rather the flawed approach to education is what causes failures and violence."

Clean Wisconsin Report Says Climate Change Already Costing Wisconsin Agricultural Industry
Clean Wisconsin Surveyed 60 Farmers On How Extreme Weather Has Already Affected Their Livelihood
The environmental organization Clean Wisconsin released a report on Wednesday about how climate change could have a major effect on the state's agriculture industry.
The report "Seeds of Challenge" includes anecdotes from farmers across the state about how extreme weather like droughts and heavy precipitation have impacted their animals and crops.
Third generation farmer Jim Goodman, who owns a dairy operation in southwest Wisconsin, was one of 60 farmers who responded to the group's survey. Goodman acknowledges that many farmers are skeptical of climate change and are used to dealing with unpredictable weather. But he said that weather has become too frequent.
"You'll have unduly wet spring where you can't get into the fields," he said. "Then it'll dry up in the summer so bad that the pasture's gone. Then you may get another wet fall where it's difficult to harvest what crops you have."
Goodman said it's costing him money. For example, he had to buy hay for the first time in decades during the drought in 2012.
University of Wisconsin researchers say that climate change may cause extreme weather to become more common in the future. Clean Wisconsin Energy and Climate Specialist Katy Walter said that if severe weather does become regular, it could end up costing the ag industry a lot of money and require some farmers to make large investments to continue operating.
"For example, installing irrigation systems to combat drought and build structures for storing feed and protecting livestock," said Walter.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, farmers have reported major crop losses and higher production costs in recent years, partially because of of extreme weather.
