Two senior political figures have joined supporters of the Moscow Gay Pride ban.

Jerusalem’s acting mayor, Yigal Amedi and Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia, have backed Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov’s decision to ban the event.

Yigal Amedi told Interfax, “Moscow is a nice city; there are different people in it, so why something like this should be arranged here? Let them get together somewhere in the country and hold it out there.”

He highlighted similar protests in Jerusalem last year when the gay pride parade was postponed after disapproval from local religious leaders.

Meanwhile Russia’s patriarch has written an open letter praising the mayor’s “decision to prevent public propaganda for immorality.”

He said: “I am convinced that gays’ desire to organise a parade in Moscow will not help strengthen the family as the foundation of a strong state.”

Lotus Unveils 'Range Extender'

It's rare that a three-cylnder 1.2-litre motor gets our juices flowing here at PH Towers, but Lotus Engineering's new 'Range Extender' engine is more interesting than most.

Have no fear, sports fans, as the Range Extender is unlikely to find its way into a Lotus-badged product any time soon - Lotus Engineering's primary focus is to develop technology for other manufacturers to use.

It's been designed as an off-the-shelf engine for any production series hybrid, and could be sold to any number of car companies. Okay, so that's not particularly exciting in itself, but it's surely a rather nice potential money spinner for Lotus - and that means more development cash for proper sports cars.

The Lotus Range Extender could even find its way into a Jaguar, as it's been developed with Jaguar as part of the UK Technology Strategy Board's 'Limo-Green' scheme, a project funded by Lotus Engineering, MIRA, Caparo and Jaguar. If the new engine does end up in a series production Jag, it could be part of the company's project to make an executive saloon with a CO2 output of less than 120g/km.

What's really clever about the new engine, says Lotus, is its design: the cylinder head, block and exhaust manifold are all integrated into one casting, creating what the boffins at Hethel call a 'monoblock'. This eliminates the need for a cylinder head gasket and around 17 other separate parts. The weight of the unit is also reduced, while durability and fuel consumption are both improved.

Technical specification

1.2 litre 3-cylinder with 2 valves per cylinder, SOHC
Belt driven
Monoblock with Integrated Exhaust Manifold
All aluminium
Balance shaft (optional)
Direct-coupled generator
Bore and Stroke: 75.0 mm x 90.0 mm

Peak torque: 107 Nm at 2500 rpm
Maximum BMEP: 11.2 bar
Maximum Engine Speed: 3500 rpm
Fuel System: Port fuel injection, Lotus EMS
Fuel: 95 RON ULG / ethanol / methanol
Dry weight:56 kg

    The idea seems good, but power and RPM seem rather limited? How come it only revs to 3,500 rpm?? Surely this will make it pretty tiring to drive? As max power is max RPM.

    Not sure what car over 500kg, could make use of this?

  • kambites 08 Sep 2009

    I assume that "max rpm" is the motor RPM not the engine. Electric motors (1) are so quiet that you wont be able to hear it anyway and (2) always generate peak power at maximum speed because they have constant torque.

    It does seem to be rather a low power figure though. Maybe the idea is that they can have one on each wheel? hehe

    Monoblocks are not a Lotus innovation.

    Looks interesting though. smile

  • Don 08 Sep 2009

    It's probably intended as a "generator".

  • theJT 08 Sep 2009

    It does sound a little weak. Especially when compared to the 160ish bhp that BMW are quoting for their 1.5 litre 3 cylinder job in that 'efficient dynamics' thing that was on here last week. I know this is probably tuned far more for economy than power, but 47 bhp just doesn't sound like a useful ammount when you think of all the heavy safty kit we have to haul around on cars these days.

Literary project produces high-class board games

Literary project produces high-class board games

Students working on a class project have developed board games with a real "wow factor."

Pittsburg State University English Professor Paul McCallum says one of the things that makes teaching so much fun is when students exceed even his highest expectations.

McCallum said from the beginning, he knew the students in his English 771 (Major Authors) class this past spring were capable of doing more than most, so he decided to give them more leeway than usual.

“Traditionally, I had always assigned a major research paper,” McCallum said. “But I knew I had such high quality students that I allowed them to choose a project of their choosing.”

McCallum said the assignment triggered an explosion of creativity in the class, which focuses on the English novelist Jane Austen. The students presented many diverse projects, including a Jane Austen cooking demonstration and even an equestrian lesson, but three board games caught his attention because of their visual impact and their level of detail.

“There was a huge wow factor,” McCallum said of the day the students presented their games. “I didn’t expect the quality to be what it was.”

Susan Schreiner created a Jane Austen trivia game, Robin Mooney created one called “Playing Jane,” and a team of Jamie Fenoglio, Lora Winters and Brandi Unruh created a game they called “Jane Austen.” For all of them, it was a semester-long task that took uncounted hours of work.

“This was far more time consuming than I expected,” said Schreiner.

Winters said her group’s work began with the basics. “We spent a lot of time just on the rules,” she said.

All of the students agreed that the process was a definite learning experience. They researched Austen and the world in which she lived for scores of trivia questions and learned what a significant impact the author has had on subsequent authors.

And now that the semester is over and the work is done, they hope they may even get to play the games.

“We’ve just been too busy!” several of the students said at once.

Calculating proper rolling resistance: A safer move for material handling

Friction as an important facet of industrial wheels can be either beneficial or detrimental.

Friction plays a major role in the industrial world, and also in everyday life. Friction is the resistance to sliding, rolling, or flowing motion of an object due to its contact with another object. It can be either beneficial (when we brake our car to stop) or detrimental (when we try to drive with one foot on the brake pedal). This article will focus on rolling resistance, an important facet of industrial wheels.

As we can see in this exaggerated view, both the wheels and the surface undergo deformation to the extent determined by the elastic properties of the two surfaces. Courtesy: Hamilton CasterRolling resistance is a measure of the retarding effect of a floor surface at the tread/floor interface of the wheels. It is normally expressed in pounds and is a measure of the energy dissipated per unit of distance rolled. Consider a tire rolling on a flat surface. The tire will deform to some extent, and that deformation will cause some resistance to the rolling motion. The flat surface may also deform, particularly if it is relatively soft. Sand is a good example of a soft, rolling-resistant surface. Bicycling across a paved roadway is much easier than across a white sandy beach. Rolling resistance measures the energy lost as something is rolled a specific distance.

In the world of industrial wheels, rolling contact would ideally offer no resistance to motion (except when we wanted something to remain in place). But reality doesn’t work this way. Energy is dissipated:

  • Due to friction at the contact interface
  • Due to elastic properties of materials
  • Due to roughness of rolling surface.

As one can see in this exaggerated view, both the wheels and the surface undergo deformation to the extent determined by the elastic properties of the two surfaces.

Rolling friction vs. sliding friction

Coefficient of rolling friction should not be confused with coefficient of sliding friction or, as it is often called, the coefficient of friction. Coefficient of (sliding) friction is a unit-less number that describes the ratio of the force of friction between two bodies and the force pressing them together. The coefficient of (sliding) friction depends on the materials used; for example, steel on ice has a low coefficient of friction, while rubber on pavement has a high coefficient of friction.

The diagram below addresses sliding friction. Imagine the force required to push a heavy box across a floor. Static friction requires a certain applied force to get the box moving. Once moving, dynamic friction requires a relatively constant force to maintain that motion. In this example, the person pushing is producing the “applied force,” and the box weighing “N” and the floor create the “friction force” which tends to resist that motion.

Courtesy: Hamilton Caster

The reason we use wheels in material handling is the significantly lower effort (force) required to move an object. Imagine pushing a refrigerator or a piano without wheels! Furthermore, consider how much easier it would be to push the box (mentioned earlier) across the floor if it were on wheels.

The force required to push/pull wheeled equipment is always greatest at the start, just before movement begins. Ergonomists refer to this force as the initial or starting force. Fortunately, the initial forces typically last only a short time and drop to the sustained force levels once the acceleration begins and any mechanical interference at the start of movement is overcome. Once in motion at a relatively constant speed, the force requirement is generally lower. This force is called the sustained or rolling force.

For easier rolling

To reduce the force required to overcome wheel rolling resistance, one can select a wheel with a lower coefficient of rolling resistance (for example, the forged steel wheel has coefficient of rolling resistance of 0.019 in.) or use a wheel with a larger diameter. Optimize by doing both—use the largest practical diameter wheel with the lowest coefficient of rolling resistance.

Wheel bearing selection in regard to rolling resistance is not as critical as the wheel material and diameter. Anti-friction bearings don’t make as big a difference to rolling resistance as factors such as wheel material and wheel diameter. However, bearing selection can be very important for other reasons such as load capacity, manual or towed operation, presence of shock loading or side thrusts, and desired maintenance. As one might suspect, a softer wheel tread material will generally result in greater rolling resistance than a very firm/hard wheel tread material.

Major factors in rolling resistance

The most significant factors to be considered are:

  • Load
  • Wheel diameter
  • Tread material/hardness
  • Floor material/finish
  • Floor conditions (roughness, cleanliness, slope, etc.).

The factors that can be usually ignored during calculations are:

  • Bearing type
  • Grease or lubrication effect
  • Ambient temperature
  • Wheel slippage.

Ergonomic guidelines

Courtesy: Hamilton CasterGeneral ergonomic suggestions for maximum (manual) pushing forces can be found in interactive tables at the Liberty Mutual Manual Material Handling section of its website.

Using the calculator provided on that website will yield results suggesting the percentage of the population (male or female can be specified) that can safely perform a pushing or pulling task. Variables include the pushing or pulling force (which comes from the calculations described in this paper), height at which the force is being applied, duration of the push or pull, and the frequency.

In general, any result that exceeds 75% of the female population will be appropriate for sound safety considerations. Specifically, using this as a guideline will prevent low back injuries to a significant degree. Of course, there is never a guarantee of back injury prevention.

General recommendations for manual and powered operations are:

  • Select a suitable wheel/tread based on the maximum load and floor conditions.
    • If resilient tread is selected, typically for floor protection purposes, consider:
      • Temperature range
      • Impact resistance
      • Moisture and water
      • Resistance to light, chemicals
      • Rebound.
  • Select the maximum possible/practical wheel diameter.
  • Select a wheel with the lowest coefficient of rolling resistance.
  • Calculate the rolling resistance (keep in mind that at start-up the force will be 2 to 2.5 times higher).
  • Use a safety factor when calculating required power for drive applications.
  • Remember to account for any slope present (a°). The calculated rolling resistancewill increase up the slope and decrease down the slope (F = Fx/cosa). For example a 10° slope will increase the required force (F = Fx/cos10° = Fx/0.9848 = 1.015Fx). If the slope is increased to 30°, the required force will increase substantially, from 1.015Fx to 1.155Fx (approximately 14%).
  • For powered towing operations, the wheel bearing selection is very important! Be sure to select bearings that will withstand the rigors of higher speeds, side load forces, and continuous duty.

Rolling resistance plays a major role in material handling. Whether loads will be towed or pushed manually, proper wheel selection will significantly impact the results. Using the principles described here will enable good choices.

Calculating rolling force

Courtesy: Hamilton CasterTo help quantify rolling resistance in industrial wheels, there is the “coefficient of rolling friction.” This is a number that has been empirically determined for different materials, and can vary by the speed of the wheel, the load on the wheel, and the material the wheel is contacting. In the chart below, it is not surprising that the softest tread material (rubber) has the highest coefficient of friction, while the hardest material (forged steel) has the lowest.

*Polyurethane has a range of coefficient values depending on the specific poly material selected.

    Total Load: 1200 lbs

    Floor Material: Steel

    Wheel Speed: 3 mph

The formula

    F = f x W/R

    F = the force required to overcome the rolling friction

    f = the coefficient of rolling friction (units must match same units as R (radius))

    W = Load on the wheel

    R = Radius of the wheel

Find the force required move a 4800-lb trailer equipped with 8-in. diameter polyurethane 85A wheels on a flat steel floor.

Step 1: Based on given load we can determine the load per wheel “W”.

    W = 4800 lbs/4 (wheels) = 1200 lbs on each wheel

Step 2: From the provided table find coefficient of rolling resistance “f”.

    f = 0.047(in.) [Note: Polyurethane has a range of coefficient values, depending on the specific material selected.]

Step 3: We know that the radius is ½ of the 8-in. wheel diameter.

    R = 4 in.

Step 4: Calculate the force “F” required to overcome wheel rolling friction.

    F = 0.047 x 1200/4 = 14.1 lbs (Note: This is for each individual wheel.)

Step 5: Calculate the force required move the specified loaded truck.

The resistance per wheel is 14.1 lbs. Since the truck has four wheels, the total force to move (sustained motion) the truck is 14.1 x 4 = 56.4 lbs.

Wheel diameter plays a significant role in the force required to move a load. In the example above, using a 16-in. diameter wheel (with a radius of 8 in.) would halve the required force. In fact, that is the pattern established by the equation. Every doubling of the wheel diameter results in only half of the force required to move the wheel or to sustain the motion.

The force to start (initiate) motion is in general 2-2.5 times the sustaining force. In the example above, starting force is approximately 115 lbs.

I was given a MUCH needed break this weekend when J took Ella for the day
and both of my older girls were off doing their own things.
I was able to get a lot done!
It's amazing how refreshed one can feel after just a few hours of quiet time - no distractions.
I highly encourage it.
and look forward to more of it on a regular basis! Ha!

Gretchen January 21, 2013 at 2:39 PM

I love Mondays also. They do represent a new beginning. And your valentine party collection is bound to inspire creativity.

Jessica Kirkland January 23, 2013 at 2:16 PM

I'm thrilled there's someone else out there that agrees, Gretchen. Most people dread Mondays! Ha!

Thanks for your sweet comments - so glad to have you here.

One of the seasonal traditions that many of look forward to is the Advent calendar. What started as a simple pictorial countdown to Christmas is, almost inevitably these days, now so much more.

The new tradition is to have some kind of treat behind every door you open. From chocolates for us mortals, right up to high-class gifts for the uber rich.

But here's one that absolutely everybody can enjoy.

At you'll find a joyous new clip of two fellas dancing in the most unashamedly magnificent fashion.

Each day it's a new track, a new location and a new set of unique dance moves from Lewis and Luke, the creators and stars of this festive treat.

If my editor would let me, this would be Website of the Day every day from now until Christmas (not only is it worthy, I could put my feet up and enjoy the occasional egg nog).

Last year's full calendar is still available, if you fancy a sleek peek of what to expect from the rest of the moment, and you might also find it useful for discovering some new dance moves in time for your office party.

These boys know how to throw some shapes.

In a sort of bizarre high-tech version of the Shining, scientists have successfully linked a pair of rats' brains over the internet, allowing one to control the other remotely.

The experiment, carried out by Duke University in North Carolina, sees electrodes hooked up to a "encoder" rat in Brazil, which can then convert movement to a "decoder" rat back at the university. So the rat in Brazil thinks about moving and the rat in the US does it. Spooky eh?

The encoder rat is trained to press a lever while hooked up to the system. The decoder rat in the US then follows and operates a lever itself, with no stimulus at all. The signal sent is nothing more complex than a simple yes or no, so there is no chance of a master rat controlling minions and sending them to take over the world ... thankfully.

The reality of this is becoming possible with human beings - or even whether it would be ethical - is still a long long way off. What is more interesting, is that this experiment shows it is entirely possible to transmit thoughts themselves across the web, no matter how simple.

In other rodent-related news, scientists in Japan have managed to genetically modify a mouse so that it tweets like a bird. Honestly, 2013 does not sound like a good year to be small, furry and cute.

The Xbox 360 has been around for some time now, so following the revamp from Sony of its PS3, it's only natural that Microsoft would want to get in on the re-invigorating action for its console, boosting sales and fixing a couple of issues along the way. In steps the new Microsoft Xbox 360, or as some call it the Xbox 360 Slim or as the name on the back of the console itself refers to it, the Xbox 360 S.

Before we talk about the new slim console, it's probably worth just noting what you get in the box. In short you get virtually nothing that isn't core to the unit. Yes, there is the console, the power pack, a controller and a headset, but there is no way of actually connecting it to your TV. You'll need to bring the HDMI cable yourself.

Now that we've got that out of the way the first thing you'll notice about the new console is the size. As you might expect, it's now considerably smaller. Not Nintendo Wii small, but reduced enough that at the Microsoft press conference at E3 in Los Angeles, Microsoft hid the new Xbox 360 inside the old model before the big reveal. Incidentally the same trick Sony performed when it launched the slimline PlayStation 2.

The new Xbox 360 S also brings with it a new glossy design that is even more masculine than the previous matte outings. There is nothing family friendly about this device when it comes to looks, strange considering Microsoft's gunning for a family audience with the Kinect later this year, but that doesn't mean it looks awful. Out are the rather large bulbous edges; in are stark lines, hard edges and plenty of grills.

Part of the new design is now a very large fan grill on the top (when laid flat), plus two grills/vents that engulf both sides. It's all to stop it over-heating you see - something previous models were prone to. But while that means it is considerably quieter, and we mean quiet enough that you can have it on in the background without you noticing, it also means that you can't put anything else on top of it like you could with the original design (yes that's what probably caused the overheating in the first place).

While Sony opted for a curved top with the PS3, Microsoft has gone for a flat design with air vents, and it is something you should account for in your TV stand if space is tight.

The design has also seen the front of the console cleaned up as well. The IR receiver has been hidden behind the casing, while the memory unit slots are gone altogether. You still, however, get two forward facing (hidden) USB sockets for connecting things like USB storage drives.

For those really into playing spot the difference, the DVD eject button has shrunk and become touch sensitive, while the On switch is now sliver rather than the same colour. Gone too is the Red Ring Of Death (RROD) warning sign, replaced instead with the red eye of doom.

Around the back and there is plenty of change too. Microsoft has added an Optical S/PDIF socket for audio buffs, two further USB sockets bringing the rear total to three and the overall console total to five, and a dedicated AUX socket to power Kinect for Xbox 360 when it becomes available later this year.

Besides that there is an AV socket, an HDMI socket for connecting to your TV, Ethernet and of course the power. There is now also a Kensington lock so you can bolt it to something rather than having it nicked when someone comes to burgle your house.

As before the hard drive is fully replaceable and rather than a big clunky thing sticking out of the side (as with the Xbox 360 Elite) it's now neatly tucked away out of sight behind one of the side vents in its own caddy; accessing it is very easy. The final outside change is the power brick; and yes it's still a brick, which you could easily fend off evil foes with, but now around half the size.

Inside, Microsoft hasn't changed the graphical power, the processor power or much else for that matter although it has added Wi-Fi and increased the storage. For the first time the Xbox 360 console won't require a network cable ready to use behind your TV, neither will you have to go out and buy a wireless dongle for another £60.

And the wireless connection is no slouch either, as you'll get wireless b/g/n support, which meant that we enjoyed fast downloads (obviously based on your connection speed) via Xbox Live just as if we were connected via a wire.

In our tests playing a number of games online and downloading content via Marketplace, we were more than happy with the performance the wireless connectivity brought. And the lack of cabling meant that for the first time (we've never bought the wireless dongle out of principle) we could play from our bed.

Also new is the default storage the Xbox 360 S comes with. You now get 250GB of storage at your disposal. That's a lot of saved games, or movies and adding new content is very easy thanks to the system now supporting any old USB storage drive you've got, rather than just Microsoft-branded options.

Of course it's not all add, add, add; Microsoft has still left out a Blu-ray player for high definition videos other than those that you've downloaded, and the DVD playback quality still isn't great when compared to what the PS3 or other regular DVD players are capable of through upscaling. If you're buying this as an entertainment hub expect to have to download to enjoy decent quality movies.

If this is going to be your first Xbox 360 then migrating data isn't something you are going to have to worry about, but for those looking to upgrade from an Xbox 360 Elite then it's worth thinking about. There are a couple of ways to do this: mainly via Microsoft's Hard Drive Transfer Cable, or the cheaper option of a USB storage drive you might have lying around.

While the USB drive option is cheap, unless you've got a large drive you'll be there for some time copying the data across. The simplest way by far is to use the Hard Drive Transfer Cable. Whip out the drive from your old Xbox 360, plug it into the cable and then to your new console via one of those five USB sockets. 30 seconds later you are done. It's well worth the £15.

Once you've got everything set up, and your data transferred it's time to play. Turning on the console you'll notice no real difference, the software interface is the same, the gaming experience is the same, the games you've played will still play. Remember this is just a hardware refresh rather than an overhaul of how the Xbox 360 works.

We played all the games you would expect (Alan Wake, Spilt/Second, Gears) on the hottest weekend of the year in the UK. Yes the console got hot, but no hotter than we would have expected after 10 hours of gaming and watching movies.

The Xbox 360 S is a great evolution, but not revolution, of the Xbox 360 console. It adds plenty to the mix that was missing before.

You now get a quieter device that you'll feel happy to leave on. You also get the bigger hard drive for storing more movies and games. You get the wireless connectivity, and if you are planning on getting Kinect when it comes out later this year, as well as the power socket so you don't have to plug it in to a wall socket as well. The catch is that the Microsoft hasn't really improved the insides - this isn't the Xbox 720.

Should you upgrade? It really comes down to how much you want the new box. You've probably already overcome the wireless issues and you can expand your storage options via bolt-on hard drives. You'll really only want to upgrade to reduce the noise.

The Xbox 360 S is a great refresh and one that Microsoft should be praised for. We like it, and with Kinect coming soon, these should fly off the shelves.

Nintendo - it might be time to panic.

Me: The Thief Of My Identity

The thief of my Identity

To my Friends and Family
My true Identity
Is all that makes me

I stole my identity
My personality
What I live for, What I breath for
What I'd fight for, what I'd die for

If not for my soul,
I would be lost once again
For my True Identity has fled me
Fled me for another

It is the dancing shadow you play with,
The beauty you can see in yourself,
And the hostility.
It wants to see you suffer,
It is most content, when you are in despair.

When I can look into my self
and find the real Identity ...

Read the full of Me: The Thief Of My Identity

Fear Of The Abroad

The mind so dark
The freedom is lost
The last chance dead
The fear is abroad
The darkness is desolat
The light is gone
The mind is lost
The shepard is gone

I Love My Mother - Poem by Simon Quperlier

My fetal condition,
My mother's only stronghold,
My father has never been a waste of man,
Cared for both of us,
Once in a while I'd be bold enough to kick the uterus,
A signal of appreciation and a sign of life,
I've never been so closer to my mother than being detained in her womb,
But as one grows from the stage of suckling, then crawling, and finally walking,
He become a nuisance, detestable and disrespectful,
He starts biting the hand that fed him,
Treating his mother like a servant, this phony imaginary king with no crown, embodying a shepherd and treating her like a goat, he has the nerve to abuse her, taking her for granted is probably the inception of his fall,
She made him toddle and now he has delusions that he can make subtle dodges of her canes, why do you want stress your mother to death? Why weigh your troubles on her heart when she should be busy loving and caring you?
I love my mother, My siblings and children should live by example.

Unforgiving Love - Poem by Ariff Khan

one day a blue bird fell in love with a white rose..the rose was envious of everybod falling in love and was afraid that she will get hurt..the blue bird told her that he had loved her from afar but was too scared to tell the white rose how much he actaully did...the white rose told the bird when my petals turn from white to red i will fall in love with you back....the blue bird came by and by everyday and told the white rose how much he loved her...until one day the blue bird cut his wings and soaked the white rose with his blood...the white rose's petals turned from white to a luscious red and she realized how much the blue bird loved her..but it was too late the blue bird fell in front of the rose and the rose was red forever..that's why roses are giving to the ones we loved

About Me
I like down to earth men, especially ones I can count on. I like to whatch people play games like Starcraft because it requires a certain degree of strategy that I admire. I am looking for a long-term relationship but also a phone and e-mail relationship. It would help save gas and time since I'm busy most of the time with work. I work third shift, but I usually sleep afterwards. Right now I'm saving money to go to Canada or Paris and to become a Registered Nurse. My body-type is slightly more masculine than average but I like to think of myself as Motoko from Ghost In The Shell. I'm growing my hair back out again and will dye it again as soon as it's long enough.

First Date
I'm not very picky so I could go anywhere for a first date(Just not fast-food). A walk through a mall or store while talking about eachother's likes would be good, or even some par-core for fun! :) Then a movie to end it and maybe a kiss. ;3

    Hey, you can feel free to post again in Youkai Academy. Just mention that Gavin fell asleep (or fell unconscious) and, if you want, take him either inside the Girl's Dorm or to the Infirmary.

    It's up to you, though.

It is one of the N's Pokémon =) It is a part of story as N always released his team he had against Touya/Touko and since you probably activated Memory Link, you are capable of catching N's Pokémon. And to differ then from the regular Pokémon, they are shining and have N's OT =)

National Association of School Resource Officers to Launch Innovative School Shooter Simulation Training

May 05, 2006  |

Prior to the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, school-based law enforcement personnel were not trained to deal with an active shooter on a school campus. Their role as first responders was to contain the scene until the SWAT team arrived. Today, officers must be prepared to engage instantly in a worst-case scenario, particularly as copycat incidences continue seven years after the Columbine tragedy.

In response, the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) will offer an innovative, two-day active shooter simulation training program to prepare officers for the possibility of such violence in their school or community. The program is being developed by the Riverside County (Calif.) Sheriff's Department, and it will debut during NASRO's 16th Annual School Resource Officer Conference and School Safety Exhibition at La Quinta Resort and Spa in Palm Springs, Calif., July 16-21, 2006.

"As we've seen, being in a school does not mean you're safe from violence," says Sgt. Philip Bailey, president and training director of NASRO. "I learned just how dangerous a situation can become. This program will train school resource officers (SROs) for a worst-case scenario."

"In the classroom we introduce the absolute worst-case scenarios," says Lt. Scott Madden, an SRO for the Riverside County Office of Education and president of the California School Resource Officers. "Though we hope SROs will never need to use these skills to protect students, teachers, and school staff, we need to ensure they are prepared to respond."

The first day's classroom session will highlight lessons learned from past incidents and teach best tactics to handle similar situations. Topics discussed will include rapid intervention techniques and equipment, first-on-scene responsibilities and pre-and post-incident planning and procedures. The training also emphasizes the importance of prevention, encouraging officers to be actively engaged in the school; know the students, staff, and parents; and educate the school community about recognizing warning signs and take appropriate action.

The second half of the training puts participants directly into a simulated worst-case scenario, allowing trainees to put into action the strategies they've learned.

"Half the scenarios we draw upon require 'don't shoot' responses so participants learn to incorporate the less lethal options when appropriate," says Madden. The all-day simulation will involve a variety of situations played out using firearms modified to discharge paint projectiles.

    Robert B. Reich

    Robert B. Reich Professor of Public Policy at UC Berkeley :

    True patriotism isn't cheap. It's about taking on a fair share of the burden of keeping America going.

    No one likes to pay taxes, so tax day typically attracts a range of right-wing Republicans, kooks, and demagogues, all of whom tell us how awful we have it. Herewith a short citizen's guide (that is, a citizen's guide that's short rather than a guide for short citizens) responding to the predictable charges:

    1. "Americans pay too much in taxes." Wrong: The United States has the lowest taxes of all developed nations.

    2. "The rich pay too much! The top ten percent of income earners pay over 72 percent of all income taxes!" Misleading: The main reason the rich pay such a large percent is they've become so much richer than the bottom 90 percent in recent years. If you look at what they pay as individuals -- the percent of their incomes over and above the highest rate below them -- you'll see a steady decline over the years. When Republican Dwight Eisenhower was president, the marginal rate on the highest earners was 91 percent (after deductions and tax credits, closer to 50 percent); by 1980 it was still up there, at 70 percent (an effective rate of closer to 45 percent); under Bill Clinton, it was 38 percent (an effective rate closer to 28 percent).

    Look at the after-tax earnings of families and you'll see what's really going on. Between 1980 and 2000, the after-tax earnings of famlies at the top rose more than 150 percent, while the after-tax earnings of families in the middle rose about 10 percent. The Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 raised the after-tax incomes of most Americans by a bit over 1 percent -- but raised the after-tax incomes of millionaires by 4.4 percent.

    3. "The bottom 60 percent pay only 3.3 percent of the taxes!" Misleading again. Most Americans are paying more in sales taxes than they ever have. Property taxes have also been rising at a steady clip. And Social Security taxes have also risen (thanks to the Greenspan Commission), while earnings over about $100,000 aren't subject to Social Security taxes. So-called "sin" taxes (mostly beer and cigarettes) have also skyrocketed. All of these taxes take a bigger bite out of the paychecks of people with lower incomes than they do people with higher incomes.

    4. "Obama is raising your taxes!" Wrong. Obama is cutting taxes for 95 percent of Americans, by about $400 per person a year -- not a whopping tax cut, to be sure, but not a tax increase by any stretch. Only the top 2 percent will have a tax increase, but even this tax increase is modest. Basically, they go back to the rates they were paying under Bill Clinton (their deductions will be limited to 28 percent, which is only fair). And they won't start paying this until 2011 anyway.

    5. "The huge debts we're wracking up will cause your taxes to rise!" Wrong again. When it comes to the national debt, as I've said before, the relevant statistic is the ratio of debt to the gross domestic product. The only sure way to bring that debt down and make it manageable in future years is to get the economy growing again -- which requires that, in the short term, the government spend a lot of money (because consumers and businesses won't). In the long term, the biggest source of concern is rising health-care costs. And that's something Obama and Congress are aiming to tackle.

    6. "We have a patriotic duty to stand up against Washington taxes!" Just the opposite. We have a patriotic duty to pay taxes. As multi-billionaire Warrent Buffett put it, "If you stick me down in the middle of Bangladesh or Peru or someplace, you'll find out how much this talent is going to product in the wrong kind of soil. I will be struggling thirty years later." President Teddy Roosevelt made the case in 1906 when he argued in favor of continuing the inheritance tax. "The man of great wealth owes a particular obligation to the state because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of government."

    An acquaintance from law school, now a partner in one of Washington's biggest and wealthiest law firms, explained to me one day over lunch how he and his partners use tax rules to create offsetting taxable gains and losses, and then allocate the gains to the firm's foreign partners who don't pay taxes in the United States. That way, they keep the losses here and shelter their income abroad. I noticed he had an American flag lapel pin. "You're supporting our troops," I said, referring to his pin. "Yup," he replied, entirely missing my point.

    True patriotism isn't cheap. It's about taking on a fair share of the burden of keeping America going.

    Shibley Telhami

    Shibley Telhami Professor for Peace and Development, Maryland :

    The wardrobe issue, which is relevant to the image that Palin has labored to cultivate, is still a distraction from bigger issues. Instead, the main Palin story over the past two days should have been her answer to a third-grader's question about the duties of vice presidents that they are "in charge of the United States Senate, so if they want to they can really get in there with the Senators and make a lot of good policy changes..."

    Coming less two weeks before the elections, and after weeks of discussion of the duties of the vice president, this is a truly stunning answer that is far more relevant to the election than expensive wardrobes paid for by the RNC.

The bag has an adorable handle at the top which is best to be carried by hand and a removable chunky chain & leather strap to use as a shoulder bag. Demure and sophisticated, this classic bag will add a touch of class to your wardrobe! This bag is gently used in fantastic pre-owned condition. The leather looks great, still firm and glossy. There are a few spots that are difficult to see and I think just part of the leather because there is some gray in the veins. Not throughout the entire bag, just a few random areas. Most of Brahmin's white leathers have these. Also, in different lights, the handles appear a half shade different, again, just part of the leather in my opinion. The hardware is golden brass and the turnlock remains unscratched. The interior is clean with no damage and no odors. The leather Brahmin fob is missing so there is a custom made sweet genuine white fox pompom charm with the Brahmin charm attached. The charm is unique, perfectly on trend and adorable!! This bag is white, not ivory, but is that perfect soft white that transcends seasons and can be worn year round. This bag will become a wardrobe staple and will make a wonderful addition to your Brahmin wardrobe! Here are the specifics-THE DETAILS:Bag Depth:6"Bag Length:13.5"Bag Height:7.5"Strap Drop:3" and 13"Sorry, NO Dustbag!!*****************Please consider the photos as part of the description & please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
