I did recommend G.Skill PI series. Just mentioned the Crucial Kit because it's a very flexible and compatible kit, and the price difference is abysmal...

If the build should start going over budget I think They are a good option (even if temporary). They won't compromise the build in any way. As for reliability issues, I never had problems with them - of course I don't OC them their extreme. It's just a kit I use when assembling for somebody else that has budget issues...

Like you, I only use G.SKILL...

CMS releases new data on hospital mortality

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), today announced important additions to the Hospital Compare consumer web site that will give consumers even better insight into the quality of care provided by their local hospitals.

The improvements include the addition of a mortality measure for pneumonia and, for the first time on Hospital Compare, publicly reported measures for hospital care of children. Previously, Hospital Compare had provided only quality information based on hospitalizations of adult patients.

Earlier this year, Medicare added patient satisfaction information to the Web site. Today’s additions bring the total to 26 process of care measures, three outcome of care measures, two children’s asthma care measures, and 10 patient experience of care measures. Hospital Compare also contains information about the number of certain elective hospital procedures provided to patients and what Medicare pays for those services.

Last year, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a broad comparison of death rates for heart attacks and heart failure, noting how hospitals compared with the national average — better, worse or no different — without releasing the death rates themselves. This year the agency decided to disclose them to consumers. The CMS formula for calculating mortality captures all deaths among 35 million Medicare beneficiaries that occurred within 30 days of hospital admission and factors in the hospital’s patient mix and how many deaths would be expected according to that patient population.

Heart Health
Delayed Diagnosis, Not Gender Affects Women’s Treatment for Heart Disease
Sep 28, 2017 - 10:04:21 AM

( - CHICAGO—Women with heart disease typically receive less complete surgical revascularization with arterial grafts than men do, but not because of gender bias. Instead, factors such as delayed diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women may contribute to the differences in treatment, according to a new study published online today in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery.

“It appears that by the time women present with heart disease, they are slightly older and may be facing more comorbidities such as obesity and diabetes,” said senior author Fraser D. Rubens, MD, of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute in Canada. “As a consequence, these higher operative risks may preclude women from undergoing the more complex multiple arterial revascularization procedures that men receive.”

Using the Ottawa Heart Institute database, Dr. Rubens, along with Habib Jabagi, MD, and other colleagues, analyzed data from 19,557 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) between January 1990 and March 2015. Using 45 pretreatment variables, they narrowed the group to 1,254 patients (627 men and 627 women) who had similar characteristics so that they could test for differences between the two groups.

After correcting for various patient factors such as age, body weight, and diabetes, the researchers found no difference in the percentages of bilateral internal thoracic artery and radial artery use between men and women; the bilateral internal thoracic artery was used in 31.9% of men and 30.1% of women, while the radial artery was used in 44.5% of men and 44.1% of women. However, significantly fewer women received three arterial grafts when compared with men (7.3% vs. 10.5%).

“Most clinicians assume correctly that women are less likely to receive multiple arterial revascularization, but they tend to believe that this is solely on the basis of a gender bias,” said Dr. Rubens. “The current study shows that gender does not play a significant role in this decision. There is no reason that, when adjusted for all risk factors, the degree of multiple arterial revascularization in women should be any different than what men receive.”

According to the researchers, women with CAD are at a significant disadvantage compared with men because they do not consistently receive the same intensive, invasive evaluation and treatment as men. Men receive greater access to effective cardiac treatments, including medications and revascularization, while women remain undiagnosed for many years.

The researchers explained that one reason for delayed diagnosis may be that current testing strategies, such as exercise treadmills, are “notoriously insensitive and nonspecific in women.” Newer diagnostic tests, such as coronary computed tomography (CT) and myocardial perfusion imaging, may address the limitations and allow doctors to better diagnose severe coronary disease in women, allowing for earlier and more complex interventions. In addition, they pointed to a “protective effect” from estrogen that may delay the onset of the disease.

“With earlier diagnoses, women could be referred for revascularization as healthier surgical candidates, affording them the opportunity of complete arterial revascularization strategies with better postoperative outcomes,” said Dr. Rubens. “This study has given us the confidence to continue educating surgeons on the feasibility of multiple arterial revascularization and to ensure that this choice of surgical strategy be based on patient risk profiles and not solely on gender.”

CAD is the leading cause of death in the United States in both men and women. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 366,000 people died from CAD in 2015.

Naturo Pharm Arnica Plus spray homeopathic preparation.

The homoeopathic preparation Arnica montana is made from the herb commonly known as leopards bane.

Naturo Pharm's Arnica Plus is manufactured using a mixture of carefully selected potencies (called a potency chord), which work on a number of different healing levels in the body at the same time, producing a faster and more effective preparation.

Arnica is perhaps the most widely known and used homoeopathic preparation.

Homoeopathic arnica has been used traditionally to assist the body's natural response to shock, injury, fatigue and bruising and aids normal muscle recovery after strenuous exercise or exertion.

It is considered useful in assisting with normal defence mechanisms in times of trauma and after surgery.

It is thought to assist the body's natural ability to cope with long distance air travel and helps restore normal sleep patterns.

Unlike most conventional medicines, which work directly against diseases and their symptoms, homoeopathic preparations stimulate the body’s own natural defence systems, thus enabling a completely natural healing response.

You can read more about homoeopathy here

While there are a few homoeopathic preparations which can almost always be recommended for certain conditions, such as arnica for muscular bruising, in most cases preparations should be matched to the individual, not the problem. Homoeopaths use the analogy of the onion; as more layers are exposed different symptoms appear, allowing a more complete picture of an individual to be built up. Thus the homoeopath can more accurately recommend the right preparation to assist in facilitating a healing response.

For this reason we strongly recommend consulting a qualified homoeopath before purchasing this product.

Generally, if you are not 100% sure about the correctness of the preparation, use a lower potency (i.e. 6X - 30c).  Higher potencies (200c - 1M) should be taken only under practitioner advice.

Spray (chord)

Acute: Take 2 sprays orally at 15 minute intervals for up to 6 doses, then 3 times a day as required.

Chronic:  Take 2 sprays orally 3 times a day as required.

A health professional should be consulted if the symptoms persist or where, in rare cases, there is a medical emergency, like severe reactions to bee or wasp stings

Homeopathic Arnica Montana in a potency chord of 6c, 12c, 15c and 30c
Alcohol approx. 11%

Receding Hairline Treatment

Receding Hairline Treatment – Everything You Want To Know!

A Receding Hairline is notReceding Hairline Treatment exactly life threatening– nobody has ever died from losing too much hair – but it really does affect your confidence, as it makes you less attractive to the opposite sex. Many men with receding hairlines think twice about approaching a pretty young woman at a party, for fear of being rejected, because, let’s face it, women find baldness distinctly unsexy.

Well, women hate men with beer bellies a lot more than that, but, even if you’re generally fit, being bald won’t do you much favor in the dating game. This is because historically, a declining hairline has been associated with ageing and loss of virility in men, and it’s even worse, much worse, for women.

That’s why a receding hairline affects one psychologically. If you’re one of those men who’re affected by a receding hairline – here’s what you should know.

# You’re not alone. As many as 66% of men suffer from receding hairline by the time they reach the age of 35, and it gets a lot worse by 50. Indeed, 85% of the male population suffer significant decline in the hairline as they hit 50.

# A receding hairline is not inevitable. You can prevent receding hairline, and when it does happen, by taking the right steps and using some of the popular solutions to receding hairline that we’re going to tell you about, you can stop the decline, and even regrow the hair. But first, let’s discuss briefly about what causes a receding hairline.

What Causes A Receding Hairline?

Well, a majority of the men andReceding Hairline Treatmentwomen suffering from a receding hairline could justifiably blame genetics for it. It is true that your chances of suffering from baldness are higher if either of your parents is bald. Baldness can be inherited. However, that’s not the only cause of a receding hairline. Other causes, which can actually be prevented, are, taking certain prescription drugs, infections, not having enough nutrition content in the diet, overuse of certain chemical hair products and emotional issues such as stress and anxiety. For healthy hair, you must take care of these issues first.

How to Stop receding hairline?

So how can you address the problem of a receding hairline? We discuss some of the top treatments recommended by several experts.

  •  Take Care of Your Hygiene:Wash your hair everyday, keep it clean, use a natural shampoo, massage the scalp with coconut oil or almond oil, take care of your personal hygiene. Practice good, regular habits.
  • Regular Exercise: Regular exercise is important because exercise releases hormones called endorphines that keep you happy and relieves the stress. Besides, exercising regularly, just going for a quick run in the morning would release harmful toxins from the skin, is so important for slowing down the process of receding hairline.
  • Have Vitamin B supplements: Vitamin B is a vital ingredient of every receding hairline treatment. Vitamin B variants such as folate, biotin, B12 and B2 are extremely important for those suffering from a receding hairline. Consult your doctor to know more.
  • Practice Meditation: Meditation is a great way to reduce the stress from work or relationships. Stress is one of the biggest causes of receding hairline. Meditate for just 20-minutes every day in a spot where you’ll be left alone for a while.
  •  Avoid Some Prescription Drugs: Prescription drugs such as warfarin, or psychiatric drugs like lithium are known to cause of receding hairline. Have a detailed discussion with your doctor about the side effects of any drug before he recommends them to you.
  • Add Fish To Your Diet: Many receding hairline experts recommend making fish a part of your regular diet, as fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, minerals and most importantly, in Vitamin D. The nutrients contained in fish are recommended individually for patients suffering from receding hairline during chemotherapy. Let that be reason enough for you to add tuna fish recipes to your diet.
  •  Have Iron-Rich Foods: Deficiency of iron causes an imbalance in the body, which may result in receding hairline. So have green vegetables rich in iron, as well as pumpkin sends, tofu, quinioa and so on.

Isn't it Ironic?

It’s like rain on
your wedding day

It’s a free ride
when you’ve already paid

It's the good advice

that you just didn't take

Lyrics to “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette

Isn’t it ironic? The best mechanics on the floor are typically the ones promoted to management and supervisory positions. Unfortunately, the knowledge and skills that make someone a great mechanic aren’t the knowledge and skills they need to become a great leader or manager. Some larger companies have structured leadership development programs in place for potential management candidates. Unfortunately, most companies don’t have a structured system for training current and future managers, and those placed in positions of management responsibility often find themselves struggling to learn the new skills and knowledge they need to be successful in their new jobs.

There are several resources available to help mechanics make the transition to management smoother and to help current managers become more successful.

Conklin and de Decker will once again host a Helicopter Operator Management Course in conjunction with HAI Heli-Expo in Orlando, FL March 1-6. Bill de Decker will lead the six-day course “designed to give new or current managers of civil helicopter operations the management skills they need for success in today’s highly demanding and complex operating environment.”

Conklin and de Decker also announce a new Helicopter Maintenance Management Seminar (HMMS) in Dallas, TX March 28-29. The two-day course will give current, new and prospective maintenance managers tools to help them gain control of the many complex variables that managers face on a regular basis. Topics include:

  •  The Principles of Management
  •  Budgeting
  •  Inventory
  •  Information Systems
  •  Regulatory Issues

There is another great resource for maintenance managers. The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) hosts an annual Maintenance Management Conference (MMC). This year’s 26th annual conference will be held April 5-7 in San Diego, CA. Don’t let the name fool you. This conference isn’t just for NBAA members or those who manage business aircraft maintenance operations. Every mechanic who aspires to become a manager and all current managers will benefit from the event.

You can go to to page 44 to learn more about these upcoming seminars and conferences.

Another good course is Global Jet Services’ Aviation Interpersonal Maintenance Management (AIMM) course. I attended this course a few years ago and found it extremely informative. Presented by Global Jet Services’ president J.D. McHenry, the AIMM course provides the knowledge to become a good leader and manager. You can learn more at

Last, but not least, our sister publication Director of Maintenance (D.O.M.) magazine is a magazine about the business of aircraft maintenance. Each issue covers topics to help current and future managers hone their skills. If you are not already receiving the magazine, you can sign up for your free subscription at

Thanks for reading!

VIDEO: Iron Maiden play final show of Maiden England world tour

Iron Maiden played the final show of their Maiden England world tour with a headlining set at Sonisphere UK on Saturday, and fan-filmed video from the event is available.

The 16-song set opened with “Moonchild” from 1998’s “Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son”, and focused largely on their 1980s period.

The Maiden England stage show closely mirrored, in terms of production and content, the original 1988 concert video of the same name – reissued on DVD last – originally shot on the “Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Tour.”

The band played 100 shows to more than 2 million fans in 32 countries over the course of the 2-year tour, which began in June 2012 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Maiden England tour saw the group play a record-breaking 5th headline concert at Donington Park as part of the 2013 Download Festival, as well as their third performance at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil, and their first show in Paraguay.

Pack of 331 nice western-style uncensored porn pictures by the artist RenX

1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (13 votes, average: 1.62 out of 5)

Crude, graphic, no artistic pretentions, straight hardcore, that's the gist, as in this pictures.

It’s not often that the picture packs I share are so distant from the familiar Japanese drawing styles, those images, in the present pack, very, very strongly are US-porn and US-comics styled. Like it or hate it, hey, it’s up to you and your personal tastes :)

Personally, I wasn’t enthusiastic. Some images were OK, but some others were, as odd as it may seem, too weird for me. Maybe I got bad vibes from what I read (and more) about the artist’s dishonest practices, or it’s really a problem of personal tastes, as tattooed, too thin, or fucked-up-in-the-head girls aren’t my thing, I’m not sure.

Princess Peach In: Thanks Mario, an hilarious parody of Super Mario, by Witchking00

1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (18 votes, average: 4.17 out of 5)

Just... LOL!

– Princess Peach.

Oh boy. I laughed super hard with that one ^_^
Long story short, Mario has come to save at last Princess Peach, but she took the wait quite… badly. Let’s say she harbours some grudge towards Mario, and, yes, he’s going to have sex with her, but, no, that’s not going to happen the way he hoped ^_____^

The dialogues are very crude, the comedy is overwhelming, Peach is drawn with a huge butt and a crazy rack, it was weird and great, haha ^^
Thanks to whoever is behing the release of that one, it’s a parody I won’t forget ^^

A shameful note, while I’m at it. In Super Mario Baseball, Peach, with her short pink outfit, is super hot. First time I felt like rule 34’ing her. We need adult parodies of Peach in Super Mario Baseball.

Remember my Frozen Adult Pack, dated june 2014 ?
Here’s a second, bigger pack, enjoy, my dear pervs :beer:

As base, I used a  huge pack of contents send by a kind anon (to which I added a few items I grabbed over time), thank you so much, man! ^_^
Those contents: TONS of Frozen porn :twisted:

– Mostly animated gifs, 92 of them. I pruned the gifs for you, because there were originally lots of duplicates or items already present in my previous Frozen Porn Pack.
– Videos: 21 of them, oh fuck YEAH!!
Some of these videos are duplicates to the gifs (I’d say, a third of them), but even then, they’re in much smoother animation quality and greater picture dimensions
– A few still images.
Almost everything is heterosexual sex, there may be a dozen lesbian or futa files in total.

I hope you’ll enjoy this pack, me, I’ll delicately say it suited my tastes, Anna kinda sets a part of me on fire :3

3 Works by Western Artist “Jumusus”

1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (27 votes, average: 1.56 out of 5)

Free Image Hosting

Hiya Troops, it’s your Favorite Perverted-Cat-In-Heat DeltaOblivion with the 3rd pack I was supposed to share 2 weeks ago; but my internet was acting up and when I was going to report it, some sons of bitches stole 400 feet of telephone wires and to make matters worse, I live in a dead zone, no cell bars whatsoever, a nomophobe’s worse nightmare. And last week was my birthday, so I took a week worth’s vacation. I am 480 in cat years, try figure out my age on that. XD

Anyhoo, back to the shares first up, I said to myself when Oliver made me a guest here on Hentairules that I will only post Japanese Hentai only, but then I find the works of this artist: Jumusus. Honestly I hate western muscle girl artists. All they do is show-off the characters build. Who gives a damn about a show!? Where in holy hell is the sex!? None of them knows what we really want in a muscle girl story except for this guy. Jumusus, Aretxa, to anyone who knows this artist please, I’m practically begging here, show the other artists how a real muscle girl comic is suppose to be by making more of it like these. The title I give myself: “Perverted-Cat-In-Heat” is not just used as an insult and other things, but it also means that I am a Hentai Connoisseur. Those other artists are fakes, phonies and charlatans in my arrogant opinion. These works are truly gold. What am I saying? Calling it gold is not the right word. Platinum! Yes that’s the right word to describe these works. Many, many thanks to Jumusus and I hope we see more of these.

Sunstone chapters 1-4 (Complete) and 5 (Ongoing)

1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (31 votes, average: 3.39 out of 5)

The absolute best western comic I know, for both the lesbian and bondage sides of it. An absolute recommendation from me.

There used to be a time I thought bondage was uncool. Hentai and comics made me change my mind, it actually deserves great respect and it’s pretty darn cool in itself.
First things first, my thanks are for ParacetJunkie, who reminded me of the Sunstone Series, that I had only known at its very beginning three years ago.
And of course, huge praise to Shiniez, the artist who draws Sunstone!!
Shiniez has a lively DeviantArt page with lots of bonuses, and he also sells printed copies of his books, the volume Three’s preorder period just started BTW…

Sunstone is “sensible” BDSM , we follow two women who are into bondage, and the bunch of people around them. They are “human” persons, not caricatural or oversimplified for cartoon reasons. They have weaknesses, strengths, aspirations, it’s easy to partially identify with them, to love them, and there are several moments when I laughed. Bondage is seen “intellectually”, as a relationship of trust, where the control comes from top and bottom… that is so interesting!
Look, if I recommend a BDSM work, chances are you can more or less know what not to expect : I think this is REALLY worth discovering :)

As for the drawings : RHAYUMMOAR ! :twisted: Just a warning, this isn’t hardcore, it should be categorized as “ecchi”, there are no visible genitalia – but I wouldn’t care about that last detail, in the present situation. The art is among the most splendid pieces of drawn western comic I ever saw.

If you liked this, then – should you still not know these – I’ll VERY strongly recommend you Maka Maka (for the lesbian side, this is the GREATEST lesbian work I EVER read) and, on the BDSM side, Nana To Kaoru and Escape Creator.

Pack of Adult comics by the artist Melkor (Also Known As Romulo Mancin)

1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (26 votes, average: 4.31 out of 5)

An amazing artist. And now... Well, I'll need some privacy *cough* :D

First, thanks to Xavier, who sent me this pack and suggested I shared it!
Second, the link to the artist’s official site!
I found in the end, Romulo Mancin, AKA Melkor, has an active website, from which you can purchase a membership to get access to everything he’s drawing. Seems like the works Xavier sent me are only a fraction of Melkor’s production, so there’s more if you accept to reward the artist: comics, single images, various themes… Melkor, in his former website, was also taking commissions, I wonder if that’s still a possibility.

Third, the porn :D These are western-style comics with a manga inspiration here and there, it’s uncensored to boot, and drawn with splendid talent. Hardcore as fuck, oral, vaginal, anal, easy sex, and sometimes fantasy inspirations from anime (Tenchi Muyo! :D ) or video games (Final Fantasy IV! My beloved Rydia!! :shock: :woot: ), or with also well-found comedy tricks (like in The Pie Conundrum…)
I hope you’ll enjoy it, and give Melkor’s website a chance maybe :)

I want to share this with you guys ;)
The memory came back as I was reading the glorious Oideyo Mizuryu Kei Land : there was this French comic I bought in 1996, called Putain De Télé by the cartoonists Stan & Vince, and in there, there was already a sexual theme park!

That park had been “invented” by, I give you, WALT DISNEY HIMSELF! UNCLE WALT!! Brought back from the dead, by a desperate Disney CEO needing fresh ideas to get his company out of the red! :D

I took the liberty of photographing four pages from my comic book, and, very quickly, very dirtily, I edited and translated them to English. (Don’t judge it like a scanlation, I really did no effort about typesetting, placing, proofreading or anything. Even if I wanted, it would have looked like crap. Actually, I only have one regret, writing “Watch!” instead of “Behold!”.)
Take a look at them, huhu, you’ll see Mizuryu Kei has been burnt, somebody else had invented the concept 18 years ago :twisted:

(The images are left from left to right, this time)

Or in gallery here.

Stan & Vince have published many more works, and Putain De Télé (“Fucking TV”) can be found online here for instance, reading it again was a pleasure ^_^

Copenhagen Climate Change Conference Could Threaten National Security

Copenhagen Climate Change Conference Could Threaten National Security

November 10, 2009 6 min read Download Report
Jim Carafano
Vice President, Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute
James Jay Carafano is a leading expert in national security and foreign policy challenges.

Copenhagen Consequences

As a prelude to the upcoming Copenhagen conference of the nations participating in the Convention on Climate Change, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), who chairs the Environment and Public Works Committee, introduced and passed out of committee sweeping energy reform legislation. This measure faces much tougher hurdles before the full Senate.

To promote her legislation (a companion to the Waxman-Markey "cap and trade" bill passed by the House) Boxer held a hearing at which she argued that passage of the bill was a matter of national security. She is wrong. Her legislation could actually undermine the nation's capacity to keep Americans safe, free, and prosperous. Furthermore, the dangers posed by the Senate bill are reflective of many of the national security challenges that could be raised by efforts at Copenhagen to draft a global climate treaty.

Fighting the Air up There

The premise behind Boxer's bill is that the U.S. must create a government-run program to reduce the emission of "greenhouse gases," including carbon dioxide (CO2). The bill would establish a complex energy tax scheme to penalize businesses and industries that emit these gases. Proponents of the legislation have argued that its passage is essential to U.S. national security. Without the law, proponents claim, adverse climate changes will cause nations to fail, natural disasters will yield unprecedented humanitarian crises, and states will wage war over the remaining resources.

Rather than allow the U.S. to better address the challenges of climate change, Boxer's tax scheme is likely to undermine both U.S. security and America's capacity to act as a good steward of the environment. A study by The Heritage Foundation's Center for Data Analysis found that the companion Waxman-Markey bill would make the U.S. about $9.4 trillion poorer by 2035. Much of this decline would be from reduced economic productivity and job losses. In particular, under the House legislation there would be 1.15 million fewer jobs on average than without a cap-and-trade bill. Other economic concerns include rising deficits and continued devaluing of the dollar.

A sharp decline in economic productivity would likely have a deleterious impact on U.S. security. A decrease in U.S. economic growth would result in even more draconian cuts to the defense budget. Likewise, a steep drop in American economic growth would lengthen and deepen the global recession, thereby increasing the number of failed states.

On to Copenhagen

The wrongheaded approach taken by Boxer is likely to be mirrored in the deliberations at Copenhagen, where efforts to restrict greenhouse gas emissions could undermine both the global economy and worldwide security--outcomes that would lead to a more fragile environment and greater human misery.

Without question, the greatest security threat of an international climate treaty is that it would make the economies of the U.S. and its allies less competitive, depriving them of the capacity to defend themselves and aid other nations.

Additionally, advocates of the treaty insist that it not include a clause that allows emissions reductions to be subject to "conformity with domestic law." In other words, even if U.S. laws included an exemption for emissions by the military, such an opt-out could potentially be trumped by an international treaty.

The U.S. military is the nation's largest consumer of fossil fuels. As Major General (ret.) Robert Scales testified in Boxer's hearing, despite any innovations in new energy technologies made in the foreseeable future, most military forces will continue to be powered by fossil fuels. Thus, mandated fossil fuel reductions could severely limit the capacity of the U.S. to defend itself and its allies and conduct humanitarian and security-assistance missions worldwide.

In addition, since the military has no choice other than to rely on fossil fuels for the foreseeable future, any tax scheme that makes carbon-based fuels more expensive will mean the Pentagon will have to spend more on fuel and less on everything else that America's men and women in uniform need. Regardless of how the climate changes or the status of energy supplies, the U.S. will need a military that has sufficient resources to conduct current operations, maintain a trained and ready force, and prepare for future challenges. Long-term levels of defense spending are already too low to prevent the military from becoming a hollow force. A steep rise in carbon-fuel costs will exacerbate this decline.

Finally, an international climate treaty is likely to disadvantage the U.S. and other democracies that sign the convention in competing with authoritarian regimes that could care less about the environment. As General Scales noted in his testimony, U.S. refining capacity would likely evaporate and move offshore--making America more, not less, dependent on foreign countries. Furthermore, since oil is a global commodity, as the price rises, foreign oil producers that wish America ill would still find ready buyers for their product. Thus, they would fill their coffers even as the U.S. becomes less competitive.

Countering the Consequences of Copenhagen

Advocates of an international climate treaty have little hope that a convention with stringent, binding, and enforceable emissions reduction targets will be signed in Copenhagen, but they have every intention in continuing to shape the provisions of a draft instrument that could constrain the ability of the U.S. to direct its own energy future--and ultimately look after the security of its citizens.

The U.S. should deal responsibly with the challenges of global climate change, but the road to Copenhagen is a dead end. Rather, Washington should seek an alternate path to ensure a future where America is a worldwide leader in the stewardship of the global environment, a champion for the advancement of freedom and justice, and an engine of sustainable growth. Specifically, the U.S. Government should:

  • Ensure that any effort to reduce reliance on foreign oil is grounded in policies that are best for the economy. Reducing oil imports from unstable or unfriendly regimes should be done in a way that minimizes the economic cost to Americans. Policies such as raising taxes on gasoline while mandating or subsidizing expensive or unproven alternative fuels and vehicles lead to large costs with marginal--or even negative--results. The first steps in reducing reliance on foreign oil are to make full use of domestic petroleum reserves and to remove disincentives to investment in oil production from friendly nations. These should be coupled with efforts to encourage diversification away from petroleum, which will be best achieved not by government fiat but by the private sector-led development of alternatives that can compete in their own right. Domestically, the federal role should be limited to conducting basic research and removing regulatory and tax barriers that impede private-sector innovation. In addition, restrictions on international growth in alternatives, such as the tariffs that limit ethanol imports into the U.S., should be eliminated.
  • Provide leadership for the international expansion of commercial nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is the only emissions-free energy source available today that can provide large amounts of energy. Unfortunately, regulatory barriers and protectionism stand in the way of the safe expansion of this technology. The U.S. could provide needed leadership by establishing a path forward that addresses these problems. While reforming its onerous regulatory regime and developing a workable system for nuclear waste management are domestic priorities, internationally, the U.S. must work to advance free and open markets. Moving the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage forward is critical to this effort. Parties to the convention operate under common liability rules for nuclear activities. This is important to U.S. companies who do not enjoy the national liability protection that most foreign firms enjoy, thus putting them at a competitive disadvantage. While the U.S. has ratified the convention, additional nations must ratify before it comes into force. Once in force, U.S. companies would be better able to compete in overseas nuclear markets, which would advance both economic and environmental agendas.
  • Use free markets to advance a green energy and environment agenda. Trade measures in carbon-control legislation may appear necessary for protecting U.S. competitiveness and promoting broader international participation in such schemes. However, in reality, such measures will likely create a more hostile trade environment that costs U.S. firms access to global markets. Rather than using trade policy as a weapon, America should keep markets open. Policymakers should maintain the integrity and freedom of global markets as a means to transfer clean technologies, keep international investment flowing, and promote economic growth and prosperity in the U.S. and around the world.

These measures would provide real security to the American people by not hamstringing the military's ability to protect its citizens and ensuring sustainable growth based on clean and abundant green energy.

Culture bus to explore leading Hull venues

Published: Friday 26th June 2015 by The News Editor

Comments (0)

Hull residents and tourists can have their say this weekend on the redevelopment of three leading city venues.

Plans are going on public view this week relating to Woodford Leisure Centre, Hull New Theatre and Ferens Art Gallery.

All three landmarks are exhibiting the plans, while a special culture bus is being moored in the city centre’s Queen Victoria Square on Saturday (June 27) between 10am and 4pm.

The previews will give attendees an idea of what the venues will look like in future.

Last month it was announced that the Ferens would stage the Turner Prize in 2017. To prepare for this, the art gallery is upgrading its temperature and lighting control systems as well as unveiling an environmentally-controlled lobby and new café.

The theatre, meanwhile, will offer fresh break out and café bar areas and expand backstage provision to accommodate larger, more ambitious productions.

The leisure centre’s extension will see a 25m six-lane swimming pool, new learner pool, steam and sauna facilities as well as an entrance-stationed café.

Marksman cleared of Rodney murder

Published: Friday 3rd July 2015 by The News Editor

Comments (0)

A top police marksman who blasted suspected armed robber Azelle Rodney six times at close range 10 years ago has been cleared of his murder.

Anthony Long, 58, allegedly took just six hundredths of a second to open fire on the 24-year-old after his unmarked police car pulled up as part of an operation to foil an attempted robbery on Colombian drug dealers.

A trial heard he fired off eight shots in 2.1 seconds, six of which fatally injured Mr Rodney who was the back seat passenger of a Volkswagen Golf which was boxed in during the “hard stop” by armed police in Hale Lane, Mill Hill, north London.

In making the split-second decision to open fire, the prosecution asserted Long would not have had time to see whether Mr Rodney was doing anything that might pose a risk to the public and police.

But retired Long, who was commended seven times during his distinguished 33-year career with the force, denied murder and maintained that he believed his colleagues were in “imminent” danger.

At the time, police intelligence had suggested that the gang was armed with at least one deadly machine gun as they prepared to strike the Colombians in Edgware, north London on the evening of Saturday, April 30 2005.

However, a search of the car later revealed that although there were three weapons, none were automatic and only one was loaded, the court heard.

After deliberating for 12 hours and nine minutes the Old Bailey jury found him not guilty of murder.

The verdict will come as a bitter blow to the family of Mr Rodney who have attended court daily as the latest chapter of their long-running fight.

The jury was not told the outcome of a judge-led inquiry in 2013 which concluded that the shooting was not legally justified and Long’s accounts of what he saw in the seconds before opening fire should not be accepted.

Details of Long’s operational history, which included an incident in which he shot two other suspects dead, were not divulged in evidence either.

At the conclusion of the inquiry, Mr Rodney’s mother Susan Alexander had said of her son’s “wholly avoidable” death: “The fact that he was strongly suspected of being involved in crime does not justify him or anyone else being summarily killed.”

She did not react as the verdict was delivered.

Mr Long nodded to the trial judge Mr Justice Sweeney as he was discharged and smiled as he shook hands with his two dock officers.

Afterwards, he said: “I am very grateful to the jury for returning a not guilty verdict. It has been very difficult facing trial for something that happened 10 years ago when I had acted to protect the lives of others as a part of my job and based on my training and experience.

“Police firearms officers do not go out intending to shoot people and, like me in this case, have to make split second life or death decisions based on the information available to them at the time.

“I want to thank my family and friends who have stuck by me and supported me during this difficult time. I also want to thank the Police Federation that has supported me throughout and my legal team from Slater and Gordon.”

Mr Long’s lawyer, Scott Ingram from Slater and Gordon, added: “Mr Long has always maintained his innocence and he is relieved at today’s verdict. He can now draw a line under the matter which has dominated his world over the past 10 years and get on with the rest of his life.”

UK economy ‘to show 2.6% growth’

Published: Tuesday 27th January 2015 by The News Editor

Comments (0)

The UK is expected to post its best annual growth since before the recession when official gross domestic product (GDP) figures are published today.

GDP is forecast by a number of experts to have grown by 2.6% for the year, the same level as in 2007 and up from 1.7% in 2013, though quarterly expansion is believed to have slowed down for the last three months.

Fourth quarter growth for 2014 is pencilled in at 0.6%, down from 0.7% in the third quarter and 0.8% in the second quarter.

The figures are likely to be welcomed by the Coalition as ministers seek to burnish their economic credentials in the run-up to the general election.

However, an annual growth figure of 2.6% would fall short of the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) prediction trumpeted at the Chancellor’s autumn statement last month of 3%.

City forecasts for 2014 have since been revised downwards after latest official data published just before Christmas showed the economy’s performance for the first three quarters of the year had not been as healthy as previously thought.

It was also increasingly reliant on household spending as business investment faded.

The International Monetary Fund has downgraded its forecast for UK growth for 2014 from 3.2% to 2.6% as, like other major economies with the exception of the US, it missed expectations. However it still expects 2.7% growth for 2015.

Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for November showed manufacturing growing at its strongest pace in seven months, and Britain’s trade deficit falling to a seven-month low, helped by cheaper oil.

But the wider production sector that includes manufacturing slowed by 0.1%, dragged lowed by oil and gas extraction due to North Sea maintenance work.

Meanwhile the construction industry shrank by 2% in November, its second monthly fall in a row.

Unofficial survey data published this month suggested growth in Britain’s dominant services sector, representing three quarters of output, lost momentum in December, with the combined efforts of the three main sectors the weakest since May 2013.

However, falling oil prices are expected to deliver a boost to consumer spending to lift expansion in the months to come – though officials remain anxious of the impact on the UK from turbulence in the eurozone.

Consumer spending has already started to help the economy, with figures last week showing retail volume sales, boosted by Black Friday promotions in November, grew by 5% in the fourth quarter on the year before, the fastest pace in a decade.

Some argue a strong performance from this sector in 2015 could see Bank of England policy makers “look through” temporary factors causing ultra-low inflation, currently at 0.5%, when deciding whether to raise interest rates this year.

Samuel Tombs, of consultancy Capital Economics, said: “The first estimate of Q4 GDP seems likely to confirm that the UK’s recovery lost a modicum of pace towards the ends of 2014, with quarterly growth slowing to – a still respectable – 0.6% or so.

“The official data we have for the fourth quarter so far have been fairly disappointing.

“However, quarterly growth of 0.6% is not to be sniffed at – and it would mean that GDP rose by 2.6% in 2014 as a whole.

“Moreover, with real wages likely to rise sustainably this year, credit conditions set to improve, and firms’ investment intentions still strong, the recovery seems unlikely to lose momentum in 2015. Indeed, we expect annual growth of around 3%.”

James Knightley, of ING Bank, said: “With real incomes set to improve due to rising wage growth and falling inflation, tax cuts coming through and employment continuing to make strong gains, 2015 in general should see consumer spending perform well.

“So, while inflation is currently very low and could in the very near term push below zero, we suspect that medium-term inflation pressures will build through 2015, suggesting that rate hikes are not out of the question later this year.”

Student leaders: James Ruse Agricultural High School

This week’s student leaders are from James Ruse Agricultural High School, whose motto is: Gesta non Verba (Deeds not Words).

Read their Q&A:

What's unique about your school?

Jumaana Abdu: It's absolutely brimming with academic and humanitarian passion - a few weeks won't go by without some student-run event being held.

Eva Sinha: It's a very dynamic environment - there's never a dull moment, every day is filled with different activities and events. And on top of that it's also a very comfortable and accepting place.

Jeffrey Khoo: Our school thrives on ideas. If you have an idea for an extracurricular club, an idea about the curriculum, an idea to make the school better, an idea for social change, Ruse provides you with the resources, the environment and the passion for you to make your idea thrive.

Justin Wu: Our school environment is unique – we are a very supportive and vibrant community of students and teachers. We have a great school spirit, a multitude of clubs and a lot of enthusiasm, especially for student-organised activities (like SRC Week, school dances, World’s Greatest Shave), food days, and Quadrangle concerts/performances.

Sriganesh Thavalingam: Its all too easy to walk into school and walk out feeling as if you’ve only been within the school gates for 10 minutes but knowing that you’ve just been involved in yet another jam-packed day at Ruse. The school is bursting full of exciting new ideas and events that involves all the students and teachers.

Joel Jenson: Ruse is a buzzing community, filled with students brimming with potential. The school offers so many opportunities for students to showcase their talents and also to nurture and grow as global citizens.

Ria Sinha: Everyone is so supportive of each other, and willing to help whenever you need something. Ruse nurtures individual spirit, it gives you the opportunity to be involved in anything you want and is great to explore all your different interests.

Jin Yoo: What is unique about your school?James Ruse is a close knit, supportive community. Ever since I was in year 7, I felt like there would be no other school which creates a better cohesive and nurturing environment as Ruse and I think that is the reason why we have so many talented students across many fields.

What do you want to do when you leave school?

Jumaana Abdu: When I leave school I want to use the skills I've acquired at James Ruse to help others.

Eva Sinha: I would like a medical career, hopefully as an obstetrician gynecologist. I would like to pursue a profession that directly contributes to society.

Jeffrey Khoo: I would like to be a parliamentarian some day, because parliamentarians are able to make decisions that will benefit the society we all live in for generations. I'd also love to teach and keep up my passion for learning and education after I leave high school.

Justin Wu: I hope to study medicine at university; my biggest interests lie in the field of paediatrics. Such a career will be both rewarding and challenging, since it not only allows for my direct service to the community I love, but also a platform for intellectual and professional development.

Sriganesh Thavalingam: I aspire to study medicine at university; a degree I have seen is both greatly rewarding and of great assistance to the community.

Joel Jenson: After I leave school I’d like to make an impact with all the skills I’ve learnt. Whether that be amongst friends and family or the wider community I’d like to be able to say I helped make someone’s day brighter.

Ria Sinha: Honestly I'm really not sure, I've been asked this too many times and I've wanted to do about everything. Medical Examiner, Psychiatry, Physiotherapy and Business/Management all stick out for me but regardless of these, the only thing I know I want to do is write a novel.

Jin Yoo: What do you want to do when you leave school? I want to study Medicine or Dentistry at University, but I also want to pursue my hobbies in art and coffee/food industry. My vision is to have a hospital and an art cafe integrated in one building!!!

Why do you think being a school leader is important?

Jumaana Abdu: These kids are the future - it's no small thing to be able to serve them and help enrich their school experience.

Eva Sinha: I think for any community to be successful, every member has to be ready to contribute what they can to improving and sustaining it. I am incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to do this through student leadership.

Jeffrey Khoo: Student leadership is necessary for us to have a say in the policies and processes that affect us most. In addition to creating and participating in a fantastic community, it's a great way to develop your character as well.

Justin Wu: Being a school leader allows for liaison between students and the school executive, meaning that our school evolves and adapts to address the needs of our student community both in academic and extra-curricular pursuits. As school leaders we also address the personal needs of students, including overcoming stress and being there simply as emotional supports.

Sriganesh Thavalingam: In truth, anyone can become a leader but by becoming a school leader, it allows me to have a great platform so that I may advocate for changes to be made more easily. This is a position that I am extremely grateful to have knowing it allows for me to address the needs of the student body as a whole.

Joel Jenson: School leaders are necessary to give students direction. Leaders such as Prefects and SRC allow those in younger grades to have a role model within school and also encourage good values in older students who wish to attain a leadership role. Being a school leader allows me to be involved in the decision making process of certain events and ideas, allowing my opinion to be more clearly heard.

Ria Sinha: School leaders represent student needs. It reminds you that change is possible and how you can help and impact others. Whether it's supporting a Year 10 to choose subjects they actually enjoy or introducing a new sport competition for the school . You learn both from other people and about yourself.

Jin Yoo: Why do you think being a school leader is important? I think being a school leader is important for students as it gives them that extra taste of the real, bigger world. We really learn valuable skills which will mature us and prepare us for society. Moreover, we are able to contribute ideas with an honest student- based perspective and suggest improvements for the school which gives so much to us. This mutual relationship really heightens our appreciation of our peers, our teachers and learning which makes every day really enjoyable. I think everyone is a leader in one way or another, and school leaders are essential in acknowledging everyone’s unique leadership and tying it together to create a unified school culture.

If you were the principal what would you introduce?

Jumaana Abdu: As principal, I would introduce a games room. Ruse kids love fun competition and it would be a great way to relax.

 Eva Sinha: If I were principal I would make Drama a compulsory subject for junior grades. Drama is a great outlet for self expression and can provide valuable life skills many Ruse students would benefit from.

Jeffrey Khoo: If I was the principal, I would make creativity a big focus. That means enriching and supporting the arts (particularly my favourite subject Drama!) and working with students to create a positive, supporting learning environment where you can take risks and be yourself.

Justin Wu: If I were the principal I would implement an online system accessible by all staff and students, which tracks all assessment tasks and their due dates, thereby spreading out the overall workload for students and allowing for healthier and more successful study patterns. Also, I would build school interest in the creative arts subjects (Drama, Music, Visual Arts) since James Ruse has many talented musicians, actors and artists with their potentials yet to be realised.

Sriganesh Thavalingam: If I was principal then I would introduce a year-long sporting competition amongst students for each grade where they may compete against each other in a variety of sports (both mainstream and the bizarre) culminating in a great experience for all the students as well as advocating for healthier bodies (an issue that needs to be dealt with amongst school students).

Joel Jenson: If I were the principal I would increase the focus of sports and physical education in school life. I would like to get every student involved in a team sport, allowing them to experience sportsmanship and the feeling of being part of a team with a common goal.

Ria Sinha: I would reshape school life so it is more conducive to holistically healthy students. Physical Health: Healthier canteen/ encouraging morning sport. Social Health: Stronger bonds between students through musicals and productions. Mental Health: Visiting school counsellors, in such a pressurised environment sometimes we don't realise how much our mental health suffers.

Jin Yoo: If you were the principal what would you introduce? Textiles and Food tech!
