Tool chests are a staple of the tool industry. You’ll see them in almost every shop from auto mechanics to woodworkers and everywhere in between. It’s a rite of passage. It’s an upgrade to your man card. Get the right one, and you’ll be the envy of your friends. Get a piece of junk, and you’ll be the subject of their jokes. So where in all that does the Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest fit in?
I figure the best place to start will be to get the negatives out of the way. When I think of the things that I really don’t like on the Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest it starts with…
Wait, give me a minute.
Okay, so it’s a non-existent list. I couldn’t find a single aspect of this tool storage system that I didn’t like. I guess that means I get to spend the rest of this review telling you how much I love this thing!
Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest and Cabinet Appearance
The Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest pairs with Milwaukee’s 46″ Cabinet to make the classic tool storage system. Obviously, the Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest is… 46″ wide. Many of the tool chests and cabinets that we come across have a glossy finish. While that certainly would have been acceptable, Milwaukee went with a matte powder coated finish. It looks really good! Over the lifespan, this should help to subdue the appearance of scratches. At the same time it’s nice not to have a reflective glare. It also seems to clean up easily, and it doesn’t hold fingerprints like stainless steel.
Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest and Cabinet Innovative Features
Whatever appears normal at first glance begins to quickly dissipate as you look around and open drawers. Built into both the tool chest and cabinet is a 6 outlet power strip, and I can barely begin to tell you how excited I am about those! I like to keep battery chargers in my top chest. That requires me to run an extension cord through a knockout in the back and provide a power strip that may or may not lay conveniently inside. With these already built in, I don’t have to think about it, I just have to plug it in.
The tool cabinet’s power strip is on the outside and leaves open other possibilities. You can mount chargers, run some corded tools, charge your phone, or stream music from your Milwaukee M18 Charging Radio.
You’ll also notice a metal peg wall against the back of the top chest. It’s a great place for storing screwdriver sets, nut drivers, or other hand tools so they stay organized. The pneumatic lid closes to offer 10.5″ of head clearance which is good enough for many cordless tools like Milwaukee’s M18 Brushless Drill and Impact Driver to be left standing up.
Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest and Cabinet Drawer Design and Features
The eight drawers themselves are traditionally organized and sized on the top cabinet. The bottom left drawer also features a pull out work surface. I use the flat, metal top to hold my notebook, camera, and laptop while I’m working or reviewing tools. It’s also an outstanding (see what I did there?) feature to give you some temporary work space to supplement the top surface. The lid lifts to provide storage space below, so you’re not losing any storage capacity.
Rather than having long drawers in the bottom tool cabinet, Milwaukee gave us one wide shallow drawer on top and split the rest. The left side contains shallow, medium, and deep drawers about 2/3 the length. The right third of the chest boasts three shallow drawers and one deep one. The bottom right hand drawer features a power tool organizer that holds tools and batteries in place much the same way the Milwaukee 26″ Work Box does.
Each of the 8 drawers on the top chest have 100 pound capacities thanks to the drawer slides. 6 drawers on the tool cabinet have 100 pound capacities while the two larger ones can support up to 200 pounds. This gives the Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest and Cabinet a combined 1800 pound capacity. You get 5″ industrial casters and reinforced angles on the iron frame to further improve durability.
Where the sheep and the goats are further separated can also be found in the drawer slides. We already looked at weight capacity, so I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the soft close feature of the drawers. The Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest and Cabinet close so smoothly, you’d think Fred Astaire designed them. Each drawer slides as well as you’d hope. When a drawer is nearly shut, the soft close feature takes over. It gently pulls the drawer shut without any help from you and eliminates the slamming that often sends tools moving about. This works great for most tools, but I still haven’t found a solution to keep my sockets from falling over. Still, this is the smoothest, softest drawer closing I’ve ever experienced.
Going back to less capable tool storage chests after using the Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest and Cabinet would be like downgrading from a Porsche to Geo Metro. I realize there are still the occasional Bugatti Veyron level tool chests on the market, but the value of the Milwaukee cabinet is what sets it apart. To impress me, someone is going to have to do awfully well because Milwaukee just set a new standard for what I can expect in tool storage solutions under $1000. I’m absolutely thrilled with the quality and design of this unit.
The Home Depot has these as the full Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest and Cabinet System for $798. You can also pick up just the top tool cabinet for $349 or the bottom tool chest alone for $449. They’re out of stock online at the moment, but check your local store and snag one if there are any left!
The bottom line?
The Milwaukee 46″ Tool Chest and Cabinet as a system offers excellent tool storage capacity, outstanding durability, thoughtful design, and innovative features that are geared toward users who employ a combination of hand, power, and cordless tools. This is the tool storage system that everyone else is going to have to try and match in quality and features.

Middle children 'are more likely to be bullies' than their siblings
New research shows that children who are slapped or yelled at by their parents are more likely to bully their brothers or sisters - and middle children are most likely to be the bullies.
One shocking statistic to come from the research is that half of all the children studied said they had experienced bullying in their own home.
But, unlike bullying at school, there was no link with whether the family was poor or wealthy, badly or well-educated.
Shocking: Half of children studied said they had experienced bullying in their own home
Bullying was purely linked to the behaviour of the parents.
And despite widespread belief that the oldest child was usually the culprit for bullying younger siblings, the survey found that middle children were in fact more likely to bully.
The sample of 2,146 young people aged 11 to 15, found that among children who had been slapped, 42 per cent admitted bullying their siblings, while only 32 per cent of children who had not been hit had done so.
Researchers from the Institute for Social and Economic Research [ISER] at the University of Essex, working with the University of Warwick, will present their work at a conference this week that will look at the latest findings from the UK's Understanding Society study.
Children involved in bullying are 14 times more likely to suffer behavioural and emotional problems
The survey covers the economic circumstances and attitudes of 40,000 British households.
Professor Dieter Wolke, the co-author of the report and an expert in childhood bullying, said: 'Sibling bullying is widespread with up to 50 per cent involved every month and between 16 and 20 per cent involved in bullying several times a week.
'We know from experience that sibling bullying increases the risk of involvement in bullying at school.
'Children involved in bullying are 14 times more likely to suffer behavioural and emotional problems, they have no place that is safe for them.'
Dr Alexandra Skew, a researcher at the ISER, said: 'There is an assumption that the eldest child is most likely the strongest and biggest in the sibling group and will do most of the bullying.
'In reality it is the middle children who are competing for their parents' attention and for use of games and toys with both their elder and younger siblings that display a greater propensity to bully their brothers and sisters.'

Blackwater Elite of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) began a fruitful overseas campaign after beating the BBM Viking Warriors, 87-73, at Pacific Caesar’s 50th Anniversary Tournament in Surabaya, Indonesia.
Embarking on their first of two international tournament appearances as preparation for the upcoming Governors Cup conference in the PBA, the Elite took the gold against a field of five other teams, winning the championship in a relatively close final against the BBM Viking Warriors.
In comparison, Blackwater won by 29 points during their first meeting. The Elite went undefeated in all six games played, winning by an average margin of 27.8 points per game.
The Warriors gave the Filipino team an early scare after holding the lead for the most part of the first half. After being down 0-7 in the opening minutes, BBM scored 11-straight points to take a four-point lead after the first five minutes. They were able to hold a 21-19 lead to end the first quarter.
Blackwater played much better in the second quarter behind Raymar Jose and import Henry Walker, who combined for 13 points and 11 rebounds after going scoreless during the opening quarter. They ended the first half with a slim 48-44 lead.
After going back-and-forth with the Warriors, the Elite finally took a double-digit lead at 61-49 midway through the third. They took their biggest lead at 83-64 with less than five minutes remaining in the game after James Sena nailed a hook shot following three consecutive three-pointers from Paul Zamar.
“It reminded me of last season with Mono Vampire, it feels good to know that I still have it,” said Zamar of the clutch threes, adding they expected the spirited fight the BBM Viking Warriors gave.
“It’s the championship game, regardless if they are the underdogs. It is anybody’s ball game. We’re just glad that we we’re able to pull away in the 4th quarter.”
Coming from the one of the best professional league in Southeast Asia, Blackwater were touted as favorites to win the pocket tournament, despite having only one import against two each from the Indonesian squads.
“We expected to have a target on our backs, because we are representing the Philippines and also the PBA. We had to focus every game because they will play their best against us.” Zamar added.
Allein Maliksi top-scored for Blackwater with 17 points, while Paul Zamar bucked a slow start to finish with 15 points. Henry Walker and Mike DiGregorio each tallied 11 markers.
Okasue Udun led all scorers with 28 points and 14 rebounds, while fellow import Terrel Carter added 19. Amin Prihantono was the only BBM local who finished in double figures with 10.
Blackwater Elite hopes to carry the momentum of winning the Surabaya tilt as they travel to Macau for the Asia League Super 8 tournament next week.
The week-long Surabaya tournament also featured hosts Pacific Caesar, Garuda Bandung, and Stapac Jakarta from the Indonesian Basketball League (IBL), as well as club team Flying Wheel Makassar.

CHINA – Here’s another reason why you should take your vitamins: A new research report suggests that retinoic acid could be a beneficial treatment for people suffering from ulcerative colitis and other irritable bowel diseases.
Researchers found that retinoic acid, he oxidized form of vitamin A, helps suppress out-of-control inflammation, which is a hallmark of active ulcerative colitis.
“Pharmaceutical strategies based on this research may offer a promising alternative to our current approaches of managing immune diseases including, IBD, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and so on,” said
To make this discovery, reported in the October print issue of the Journal of Leukocyte Biology, Bai and colleagues conducted in-vitro studies with human tissue and in vivo studies in mice.
Both studies ultimately found that treatment with retinoic acid reduced the inflammation in the colon by increasing the _expression of FOXP3, a gene involved with immune system responses, as well as decreasing the _expression of IL-17, a cytokine believed to cause inflammation. Because many experts believe that IL-17 relates directly to the uncontrolled inflammation seen in ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel disease, the discovery that retinoic acid reduces IL-17’s ability to cause inflammation could accelerate the development of treatments for these chronic diseases.
“Runaway inflammation is serious problem, no matter where it occurs in the body, but in many instances, the root cause is a mystery,” said
Interesting article. Were did you got all the information from… 🙂

The Disciplinarian’s Daughter by Leigh Court
“No. Those are emotions, not sensations. You know I won’t hurt you — the whole point of this study is your pleasure. I’m interested in your body’s physical responses. Concentrate on those, and put aside your judgments. You’ve agreed to this experiment, now I need your honesty.”
Amelia focused on the look in Trevor’s eyes, and tried to calm her racing heart. She forced her body to relax, her muscles to unclench. He nodded his approval, and his fingers began to move, tracing along the inside of her feminine lips, running up one side and down the other in a slow, deliberate circle.
Dear God in heaven above. Amelia gasped loudly again, this time in astonished pleasure. It felt like every nerve ending in her body was centered there, right where Trevor’s fingertips were focused. And the more he stroked her, the easier it seemed to get — he was almost gliding along her flesh now.
“Describe what you’re feeling.”
“I-I couldn’t possibly.” But she must. It was her part of the agreement, as he’d just reminded her.
He seemed to wait patiently while she composed herself, but his fingers continued their insistent, delicious revolutions.
“It’s — incredible,” she admitted. “Lush. Luxurious. Like satin or silk. Smooth and slick. I don’t know how else to describe it.”
Labyrinth by Alice Gaines
He breathed deeply as he ran the head of the razor over her flesh. Slowly, so slowly, and with infinite care, he denuded her a
fraction of a millimeter at a time.
Finally, he’d finished, and he could stare at the petals of her sex naked. They seemed to swell and part as he watched. “Perfect. Just perfect.”
She gazed down at him, a light of awe in her eyes. If no one had ever seen her this way before, no one could appreciate her value. More precious than any jewel, she was living poetry. Beauty even the classics
“See for yourself.” He set aside the razor and found a mirror and held it between her legs. “Look.”
She looked into the mirror and then cocked her head for a different view. “I…wow…I don’t know what to say.”
Now, I can stroke you and taste you with nothing between us.”
Sex, Lies and Contracts by Jennifer Probst
The image knocked out her breath. Her almost virginal body fought for dominance as liquid warmth pulsed between her legs and dampened her panties. Her nipples rose painfully against her bra and demanded freedom. Julianna crossed her arms in front of her chest to hide her reaction. “Oh, surely you can do better than that.” Her tone dripped icicles. “This is straight out of a book, Mr. Wolfe. Poor spinster locked up in a big old house meets sexy gardener who sets her body free. She’s forever grateful for the experience. Blah, blah, blah. Now, if you rather not get back to work, we will consider the job null and void and you can leave my home.”
“Ah, so you did read Lady Chatterly’s Lover?” he drawled. Slowly, he uncurled over six feet of muscled length and rose from the seat to tower over her. “D.H. Lawrence is one of my favorites. Course, I’m the gardener rather than the gameskeeper. And you’re forgetting the husband – which you don’t have. The rest is similar. Uneducated working class man shows sexually deprived wife how to let go and be free to let her body experience pleasure.”
Jack paused. Then dropped his voice to a rough whisper that raked across her nerve endings like fingernails against naked skin. “Wanna play?”
Her heart pounded so loud her ears dimmed. “Excuse me?”
He laughed. In one swift movement, he reached out and snagged her wrist. Then tugged hard. Slightly off balance, she stumbled toward him, where he neatly caught her by the waist and trapped her between him and the sink. The edge of the marble dug into her back when she tried to retreat. Raw masculine energy assaulted her senses, the sheen of sweat on his bare chest – a mass of carved muscles pressed against the curve of her breasts. The scent of dirt and fresh grass and musk rose to her nostrils in an animal attempt to entice her to mate.
“Role play, love. Do you know the things I could teach you? Give me one night and it’ll all be for you. I’ll strip you naked and suck on these nipples until they’re aching and ruby red.” His fingers tweaked one rigid tip and a streak of raw lust speared between her legs and almost made her moan. Almost. “I’ll pry your legs open and press my tongue against your clit, taste your wetness, and make you come so hard against my mouth you’ll only be able to utter my name.” That hand slid down the front of her body to cup her mound through her jeans. The heat of his palm burned and she jerked upward, her juices exploding and her clit pounding, as if she could orgasm just by the image of his tongue in her pussy.
Forbidden Fruit by Anne Rainey
“Since when do you have the hots for my sister’s friend?”
“I wouldn’t say I have the hots for her, but there’s no denying that she’s one sexy piece of ass, Luke.”
“Dr. Doolittle? Sexy?”
He sounded so incredulous and Ava felt her heart sink.
“Hell, yes, sexy!” At that moment, she could have planted one on Pete’s lips for that manly comment. “I’d give my left nut to see that curvy ass of hers in the buff. It’s all heart-shaped and…just so damned squeezable.”
Luke, the idiot, dug himself in deeper. “Are we talking about the same woman here?”
Pete just plowed on; oblivious that Luke wasn’t buying a word he was selling. “And those magnificent tits. Just right, ya know? All soft and bouncy and round. I swear to Christ I don’t think she owns a single bra.”
“How can you tell what her ass or her tits look like when every piece of clothing she owns is big and baggy and ugly as sin?”
Her shoulders slumped. That confirmed her worst fears. Luke would never see her as a woman. Only ever as the plain tomboy, animal lover friend of his sister, Jen.
“You don’t need to have x-ray vision, Luke. Ava Sweet isn’t all fluff and makeup, true, but, she’s real and everything a man could want in a woman. She has natural beauty. The kind most women envy. And I’d bet money that beneath those baggy clothes is one helluva woman just waiting for a man to sink his teeth in.”

I increasingly disagree with much of what George Will has to say as he seems to sliding increasingly into the Kool-Aid drinkers' camp. But from time to time he still gets it right as in a column in the Washington Post that excoriates Newt Gingrich's attacks on the judiciary. The irony in Gingrich's attacks are that the federal judiciary which seems the main target of his wrath is typically pretty competent given the approval process and FBI background checks that federal judges go through (two former law partners are on the bench so I saw the process close at hand). Now state court judges, that's a different matter. Judges are either elected as in many states or appointed as here in Virginia. Sadly, in Virginia, politics plays a larger role in judicial selection than competency. Hence why there are a number of circuit court judges who, in my opinion, have no business being on the bench. They're incompetent and made it through the selection by kissing the right asses. But back to Will's column. Gingrich's attacks on the judiciary threaten the controls on the legislative and executive branches of government. Something that is critical with a number of legislatures only more than willing to trample on the rights of minorities as they pander to the Christianist/Tea Party crowd. Here are some column highlights:
When discussing his amazingness, Newt Gingrich sometimes exaggerates somewhat, as when, discussing Bosnia and Washington, D.C., street violence, he said, “People like me are what stand between us and Auschwitz” [Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jan. 16, 1994]. What primarily stands between us and misrule, however, is the Constitution, buttressed by an independent judiciary.
But Gingrich’s hunger for distinction has surely been slaked by his full-throated attack on such a judiciary. He is the first presidential candidate to propose a thorough assault on the rule of law. That is the meaning of his vow to break courts to the saddle of politicians, particularly to members of Congress, who rarely even read the laws they pass.
So, Gingrich . . . . warns that calling the Supreme Court supreme amounts to embracing “oligarchy.”
Judicial deference to majorities can, however, be a dereliction of the judicial duty to oppose actions irreconcilable with constitutional limits on what majorities may do. Gingrich’s campaign against courts repudiates contemporary conservatism’s core commitment to limited government.
Gingrich radiates impatience with impediments to allowing majorities to sweep aside judicial determinations displeasing to those majorities. He does not, however, trust democratic political processes to produce, over time, presidents who will nominate, and Senate majorities that will confirm, judges whose views he approves.
To teach courts the virtue of modesty, President Gingrich would attempt to abolish some courts and impeach judges whose decisions annoy him — decisions he says he might ignore while urging Congress to do likewise. He favors compelling judges to appear before Congress to justify decisions “out of sync” with majorities, and he would sic police or marshals on judges who resist congressional coercion. Never mind that judges always explain themselves in written opinions, concurrences and dissents.
Gingrich’s unsurprising descent into sinister radicalism — intimidation of courts — is redundant evidence that he is not merely the least conservative candidate, he is thoroughly anti-conservative. He disdains the central conservative virtue, prudence, and exemplifies progressivism’s defining attribute — impatience with impediments to the political branches’ wielding of untrammeled power. He exalts the will of the majority of the moment, at least as he, tribune of the vox populi, interprets it.
Atop the Republican ticket, Gingrich would guarantee Barack Obama’s reelection, would probably doom Republicans’ hopes of capturing the Senate and might cost them control of the House. If so, Gingrich would at last have achieved something — wreckage, but something — proportional to his swollen sense of himself.

Above are 4 sample colour ways for a new brand and website. Choosing colour is a complex problem, not only are there countless choices, there are also: gut reactions, personal tastes & physical differences in each person’s perception of colour to take into account.
With everything I do, I take inspiration from what the client gives me, in this case it was the photography of the food this company produces, as well as the table wear they use to present their food. I then select complimentary and accent colours to use as highlights, rollovers or side-boxes, to give site contrast and pace.
One handy tool is Adobe’s http://kuler.adobe.com which has user generated pallets as well as a tool to find complimentary or contrasting colours based on the standard principles of colour theory. I use “triad” to give a strong contrast.
Mostly though, I use my own judgement. This tool just helps to play around a little.

It appears that social media giant Facebook is giving blockchain a serious thought after naming an officer responsible for studying the distributed shared ledger technology.
Facebook confirmed previous reports that Evan Cheng, one of its senior engineers, will become the company’s first director of engineering dedicated to the development of the blockchain technology.
“Director @Facebook, previously @Apple. World’s friendliest curmudgeon. Day job – Programming languages, runtimes, compilers Night job – blockchain, crypto,” Cheng said in his Twitter account’s biography.
Moreover, in his LinkedIn profile, Cheng stated he was Facebook’s director of engineering for programming languages and runtimes for nearly three years before he was given the blockchain post. This, after his 10-year stint at technology giant Apple.
The news comes after Facebook unveiled a group responsible for exploring the technology, to be headed by David Marcus, who has served as its vice president for Messenger. Marcus, a board member of Coinbase, former PayPal President.
“After nearly four unbelievably rewarding years leading Messenger, I have decided it was time for me to take on a new challenge. I’m setting up a small group to explore how to best leverage blockchain across Facebook, starting from scratch,” Marcus wrote in a post on his Facebook page.
Although it remains uncertain the exact work to be carried out, the new team would have fewer than a dozen people, mostly from the Facebook and Instagram units.
Earlier, Facebook sort of welcomed cryptocurrency in its arms after relaxing its ban on ads pertaining to digital currencies. It launched a “cryptocurrency products and services onboarding request” allowing some entities to flash their ads on the social media site. But the prohibition on ads related to binary options and initial coin offerings (ICOs) continue.
“Advertisers wanting to run ads for cryptocurrency products and services must submit an application to help us assess their eligibility — including any licenses they have obtained, whether they are traded on a public stock exchange, and other relevant public background on their business,” a blog post said in May.
“Given these restrictions, not everyone who wants to advertise will be able to do so. But we’ll listen to feedback, look at how well this policy works and continue to study this technology so that, if necessary, we can revise it over time,” it said at that time.
In January, Facebook announced a policy banning ads which promote financial products and services which mislead customers or promote deceitful activities.
“At the time we also made clear that ‘this policy is intentionally broad while we work to better detect deceptive and misleading advertising practices… We will revisit this policy and how we enforce it as our signals improve,’” Facebook had stated.
Facebook’s move had earned praises from PR companies in the crypto arena.
This is “the first step in allowing credible blockchain projects, crypto companies and ICOs to get in front of new potential customers and investors. This will be a big boost for Facebook advertising revenue as the majority of projects out there are interested – and have the money – to run paid ads,” Trey Ditto, founder of Ditto PR, had said.

Re: do heavy weights really affect us?
With poor technique any rod weight can take its toll on you. I would imagine that combining poor technique with heavier weight rods would simply speed things up.
All the above can be compounded with poor conditioning.
At the very first sign of pain or troubles it probably isn't a bad idea to see a sports medical doctor to nip problems in the bud or the the very best see a sports doctor before trouble starts and prevent issues altogether.

How was the competition at OLB before swapping Dabney and Opoku going before he moved him?
Edsall: Those guys were pretty even but just felt that with Kijuan being a safety that would help us and moving Andrew, watching him, he'd be better served at outside linebacker for us.
See any other more changes coming?
"I've watched the film I don't know how many times and went back over some of the earlier practices to take a look at the personnel and really wanted to make sure like after those six days, the six practices, give it time to take a look at it then make changes and then as we sat down as a staff, really, I don't see any other moves coming because we went through it thoroughly to say are there any other situations that we could see right now...we just don't see any."
Could that change with the young kids coming in the summer?
"I don't take that into account because these are the guys that we're going to really play with, that are here now. Now if there's somebody that comes in and shows us something then that's what we'll wait and see. When you take a look at some of the other positions, you got nine more days left of spring and x number of practices in the fall, can we get certain kids ready to play come Sept. 4.
There are a lot of things that go into it in terms of what you look at it but again to me, the freshmen are a bonus."
On the redshirt freshmen - as a group: "Each of them are making strides, some are making bigger strides than the others. They're getting there, they're learning, they're playing hard but they're not anywhere near the finished product...they're making progress but some of them got to make more progress than what they're already making."
On the new guys who came aboard in January: "I'm not displeased with any of the guys who came in in January. There are guys that are making progress but we're just halfway home. I'll reserve judgment until we get to the end of spring where I can evaluate all 15 practices. After seven, I'm not disappointed in any of them. I'm not disappointed in any of the six that came here."
Says senior G Zach Hurd has a lot of potential.
"The one thing that I've talked to Zach about is he's got to continue to really work hard to raise the level of his game as he goes into his senior year. He's got to work on flexibility is one thing, and then again it's just the techniques. He's got to learn to punch better. He's got to be more of a technician than what he is and that's the thing that I've tried to challenge him with and I told him I said I want to see him come out with the energy and the passion and the wherewithal to strive to be the best he can be. He has picked it up in the last two days since I talked to him...he's got to want to get as good as I want him to be."


Ronald Wolfson: Newell the right candidate
Cliff Newell has faithfully served as Nevada County’s district attorney for 12 years, and in that time the office has become more modernized, overall crime has diminished and the quality of life in the county has improved.
Prior to Cliff’s exemplary service as the Nevada County District Attorney, he was a tireless trial attorney. On just his second day on the job he was handed a difficult felony jury trial. Cliff’s rigor and talent as a trial attorney allowed him to rise through the ranks of the office rapidly. Cliff’s ability as a prosecutor was impossible to miss, and it didn’t take long for Mike Ferguson, the DA at the time, and me, the assistant district attorney, to recognize Cliff was also a deeply gifted leader and innovator who was poised to take the next step. The rest as they say is history, and in the ensuing years Cliff has translated that broad skill set as a prosecutor to making the DA’s office a streamlined and efficient prosecutorial institution that has made this county a better and safer place to live.
Cliff has built up a young, strong and talented group of attorneys around him who are poised to carry the office into the future. He has also made it a priority to modernize the office, and one of his primary goals for his next term is to set the office up to be one of the most efficient in the state.
A good relationship with law enforcement is an absolute necessity for any district attorney to be successful. Over the course of his tenure as DA, Cliff has cultivated a strong bond of trust between the local law enforcement organizations, which keep our community safe and the DA’s office which aims to help them do so. A district attorney who does not have the trust of law enforcement, or one who actively undermines them, could not possibly hope to faithfully execute the responsibilities of the position.
Cliff faithfully serves the rule of law and judges every case based on its merits, based on the facts and the law, not who the potential defendant may be or their status in the community. He treats everyone fairly and equally.
Ronald A. Wolfson was Nevada County assistant district attorney from 1991 to 2007. He lives in Nevada City.

Early view of Aberystwyth Pier by James Ede.
Aberystwyth Pier, originally 244m long, was built by Eugenius Birch of London in 1865 and consists of cast-iron piles concreted into the rock, with cast-iron columns braced by wrought iron rods. The pier was damaged by a storm in 1866 and rebuilt in 1872. A pavilion and substructure were added by G. Croydon Marks of London in 1896 at the instigation of the Aberystwyth Improvement Company. The pier was truncated to its present length in 1938 by storm damage.

How did we engage marginalised groups in SDG monitoring?
LNOB partners trained members of grassroots organisations representing marginalised groups in 10 ‘hotspots’. Representatives convened focus group discussions, key informant interviews and household surveys using a mobile app, reaching 1,000 people.
Ways target groups are left behind
Of the 10 marginalised communities surveyed, all face discrimination in accessing key welfare schemes which are crucial to achieving the SDGs in India.
- Girls and women additionally face gross inequalities and exclusion.
- Child marriage and sexual abuse is widely prevalent in the communities sampled.
- Groups in focus suffer from a high degree of unemployment: on average, they were employed for only 14 days a month. This situation is characterised by irregular earnings and wages.
- Around 42% of the households do not have access to adequate housing and live in Kutcha houses, made of materials such as bamboo, mud, grass, unburnt bricks, etc., mainly in slums.
What is missed in national reporting?
- The current national data systems like the Census and National Family Health Survey are based on averages of broad classifications of communities. These data do not reflect the situation of the most marginalised groups on different development indicators.
- Government surveys are done at long intervals and thus not adequate for timely proactive policy interventions.
- The comparison between primary data collected from the LNOB households and secondary data available through government sources clearly shows the gap between the target groups and national average on most of the development indicators.
National advocacy impact so far
The India national coalition has engaged with the NITI Aayog, the body of the union government responsible for designing, coordinating facilitating and reporting on the SDGs. Some coalition members support various state governments in translating the SDGs related to their ministries and departments, and some already contribute to the annual monitoring report on specific SDG goals.
- Collect and use disaggregated data on left-behind groups to frame policies, provisions and government planning.
- Promote in-depth research on left behind groups within socially excluded communities to capture current development gaps, multiple barriers and constraints in accessing development provisions and rights.
- Legislate the ‘anti-discrimination’ bill and orient duty bearers on the consequences of discrimination – build perspectives and skills to ensure social inclusion.
- Build capacities and resources of the local governments to identify socially excluded sub-population groups within their jurisdiction, and develop strategies to promote social equity and inclusion through policies and provisions.
- Implement effectively targeted affirmative action and entitlement programs aligned with SDG indicators for socially excluded groups.
- Ensure strict implementation of legislation and mechanisms to prevent violence, protect life, livelihood and property, and ensure access to timely redress and justice.
- Include a dedicated space for Leaving No One Behind in the Agenda 2030 plans of NITI Aayog and state plans; and establish a dedicated team for Leaving No One Behind in the SDG unit of NITI Aayog and corresponding officers in states.

Huntington Library receives $100 million donation
on Tuesday,November 16,2010 19:11
Libraries are valuable resources for not only students, but the public as well. However, budget shortfalls and a lack of donations have been to blame for the closing of many libraries across the country. This week, the Huntington Library art collections and botanical gardens in southern California received a donation that put its money woes on the back burner.
The Huntington Library received an estimated $100 million from a Los Angeles art patron, which is almost 40 percent of the institution's endowment. This is the largest donation the library has received since $21 million was given by Charles and Nancy Munger in 2002.
"A number of museums have received significant gifts when you value the art and cash donations together," Huntington president Steven Koblik told the Los Angeles Times. "But as a pure cash gift, this has very few equivalents - except for the founding gifts that create institutions."
The donation is one of the highest made in history. In 2005, David Rockefeller gave a comparable gift of $100 million to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
There are more than 122,000 libraries across the U.S., according to the American Library Association. These institutions and their patrons benefit from donations.

Zeon suspends operations at synthetic rubber factory
Temporary halt to production at Tokuyama plant due to equipment problems
Tokyo – Zeon Corp. is temporarily suspending operations at its synthetic rubber production plant in Tokuyama, Japan, the company announced 20 Jan.
In a brief statement, Zeon said it had found out that there had been a problem with “boiler-related equipment” and was therefore halting operations at the site.
Zeon said it anticipated that it would take around 30 days to restore production, adding that it is still investigating the timeframe.
“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by the suspension of operations,” it said, adding that it will provide updates on the time to resume operations.
Located in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, the Tokuyama factory manufactures synthetic rubber and latex, employing Zeon proprietary technology.
Currently, the plant produces general-purpose rubbers for tires and resin modifiers, speciality rubber for automotive parts as well as latex for gloves and other applications.
According to Zeon, about half of the synthetic rubber produced at the plant is exported to Europe, America, and Asia.

Wednesday, September 4, 2013
A groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday celebrated a $3.73 million expansion of Danuser Machine Company, Inc. in Fulton.
Glenn Danuser, director of sales for the manufacturing firm, said three generations of the Danuser family shoveled dirt during the groundbreaking. In addition to Glenn Danuser, other Danuser family members participating were his father Jerry, his sister Janea, and his son Corbin.
Glenn Danuser said the 32,400-square-foot expansion of the plant at 500 E. Third St. will provide 10 to 15 new jobs during the next two years.
“We also have some other new products on the drawing board,” he said.
Danuser said the new building would be mainly a manufacturing facility.
“The warehouse across town will move to the existing manufacturing facility and some of the manufacturing work will be transferred to the new building,” Danuser said.
He said the current expansion, which is expected to be completed by next March, is the first phase of even more expansions planned later as the firm’s sales grow throughout the world.

Umbrella liability insurance is a type of personal liability insurance that provides extra coverage beyond the limits of your homeowners, auto, or other basic liability policies.
Here's how it works: If you're held responsible for a significant claim or lawsuit, your standard policy will pay up to its limits. But if the claim exceeds these limits, your umbrella policy can cover the excess amount — up to the limit of the umbrella policy.
This type of insurance is called an "umbrella" policy because it provides a broad range of coverage and can extend over multiple types of policies. It's designed to help protect you from major claims and lawsuits, and as a result, it helps protect your assets and your future.
For example, if you're at fault in a car accident that causes serious injuries to another person, and their medical costs exceed the limit of your auto insurance liability coverage, your umbrella policy can help cover the remaining cost.
Umbrella insurance typically provides a high level of coverage, often starting at $1 million, and it's usually relatively inexpensive given the amount of coverage it provides.

One aspect of the threat from North Korea that doesn’t get addressed seriously enough is the regime is either unable or unwilling to accurately assess the risks of its actions. It’s as if the entire Pyongyang government has no sense of what kind of provocation is so serious that its foes will retaliate with force. Put aside the regime’s blustery threats; look at what the North Korean government and its military actually does: | More…

Motorsport Magazine decided to conduct an acceleration duel between the 2014 Audi S1 and the Megane Renaultsport 275 Trophy. Audi’s pocket rocket weighs 1,315 kg (2,899 lbs) and is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder TFSI turbocharged gasoline engine developing 231 HP (170 kW) and a peak torque of 370 Nm (273 lb-ft) to both axles.
As for the Megane hot hatch, this one tips the scales at 1,376 kg (3,033 lbs) so it’s a bit heavier but it packs more punch as its 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine delivers 275 HP (202 kW) and 360 Nm (265 lb-ft) of torque to the front wheels.
In terms of pricing, the 2014 Audi S1 will set you back €29,950 at home in Germany whereas the Megane Renaultsport 275 Trophy is significantly more expensive at €35,990. In the attached video you can see the 2014 Audi S1 is faster in the beginning but several seconds after the duel starts, the Megane’s extra power kicks in and eventually the Renault takes the win as it’s the first one to hit the 250 km/h (155 mph).
It should be mentioned that Renault has released the Megane RS 275 Trophy-R which is now the fastest front-wheel drive car around the Nürburgring with a lap time of 7 minutes and 54.36 seconds.


Marine biologist dives in with the sharks for environmental impact
When she was 11 years old, Alison Towner read a book her father wrote. She’d lost him six years earlier.
A passionate angler and journalist by trade, his story was about the great salmon migrations, and she loved it. Within her father’s words, Towner found something of his heart and what he’d lived for, as well as the source of her own fascination with the sea – while other kids played with Barbie and Action Man, she sat fixated before shark tapes and churned out fact sheets about the creatures on her typewriter.
By the age of 20, she’d earned an Honours degree in Marine Biology from the University of Wales. Thereafter she set off to work as a scuba-diving instructor around the Greek islands and the Red Sea.
The adventure was exciting, but Towner had always longed to work directly with sharks. Her dream opportunity came when she was offered the post of marine biologist at the Dyer Island Conservation Trust in Gansbaai. Well at home in Great White terrain, Towner supplemented the invigorating practical experience by pursuing her Master’s through UCT.
Her thesis looked at how environmental conditions impact on the sex and number of sharks in an area. In Gansbaai, one unnatural addition to the seascape impacts the local population of these creatures more than anything else: shark-cage diving.
A popular tourist attraction, the influence that the activity has on sharks is not fully understood. That’s why Towner started the Save Our Seas foundation, which, through a combination of tagging methods, is harvesting information about the behaviour of the Gansbaai sharks that will help local marine authorities to protect the animals.
For Towner, a passion that started in dreams, books and theories has become a meaningful reality.

Europe's Fleeting Moments of Clarity
In alcoholism, drug addiction, in a destructive relationship or a cult, people change and adapt to worsened circumstances accepting them as normal.
They lose their friends, their possessions, their freedom, the entirety of their life as they had lived it until now often without realizing that they've lost anything. While people from outside can see quite well how badly off they are, they cannot. Except for touchstone moments, moments of clarity when they see how low they've fallen.
Europe is dying. Its birth rate is below replacement, its economies are weak and its societies bureaucrat-ridden. Its shores are overwhelmed with a tidal wave of hostile Moslem immigrants remaking the nations of Europe in their own image through multiculturalism and force, city by city. But lately Europe has been having moments of clarity and it is odd what these moments are.
When a German opera house pulled an opera that featured Mohammed's severed head after being warned that it would pose an incalculable security risk, Germany finally had a moment of clarity.
Chancellor Angela Merkel said, “I think the cancellation was a mistake. I think self-censorship does not help us against people who want to practice violence in the name of Islam,” she told reporters. “It makes no sense to retreat.”
Deputy parliamentary speaker Wolfgang Thierse said, "Has it come so far that we must limit artistic expression? What will be next?"
Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble also criticized the decision. "We tend to become crazy if we start to forbid Mozart operas being played. We will not accept it," he told a news conference during a visit to Washington stating that the conference participants were united in their call for the opera to restart performances of "Idomeneo...To send a signal, we could all go to the performance together."
This sudden German Opera Rising seems a little absurd. After all Europe has been living since under an unspoken ban on offending Muslims for a while now. In 1988 when Salman Rushdie's T'he Satanic Verses' came out, Muslims responded with death threats and murder and plenty in the European cultural establishment defended them.
It's nearly two decades later and it's a given that anything that offends Muslims will result in violence and possibly death. The Danish cartoons represented a showdown between Freedom of Speech and Islam and for the most part Islam won and Europe's highest law has become, 'Don't Provoke the Muslims.'
Whence the German Rising then? The key can be found in Merkel's wording when she along with other critics branded it 'self-censorship.' After all it was not threats of Muslim violence that shuttered the production. The Muslims never had the chance. Instead the directress of the Opera received a phone call from Berlin's top police official, Ehrhart Koerting, who informed her that there would be horrific consequences if the show went forward.
Had it been a show critical of the government there would have been a good deal of outrage at such a phone call, but such phone calls are made regularly these days. Yet this one provoked an uprising precisely because it served as a moment of clarity.
If Germans pride themselves on one thing, it's culture. Militarism is off limits in the public sphere but the belief in the greatness of their musical and literary past outweighs the legendary Teutonic knights. Culture, though it may be fossilized relics of the past, is Germany's claim to greatness among the nations. High in that pantheon is Mozart, whose opera Idomeneo is after all. And opera is an art form Germany likes to lay claim to as much as it can.
To foreigners it may seem odd to see top German politicians so worked up over canceling an opera, but within Germany it represents an attack at the heart of German identity. As the Interior Minister said, the very idea is maddening. Take away Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner and the Opera Houses and what does Germany have left to distinguish it from Poland except its automobile industry.
Yet had the cancellation truly come about through Muslim threats it is not likely that it would have resulted in this moment of clarity. Instead it was something far more pernicious, self-censorship.
Self-censorship occurs in dictatorships, in abusive relationships, in smothering workplaces. It happens not when you are beaten into silence but when you internalize the beater's code of conduct so that you have learned to silence yourself. Germany woke to the silence of a Mozart opera and realized they were the ones who had silenced it.
The resulting moment of clarity is something like that storybook gambler pawning his dead wife's ring or the boozing writer selling off his typewriter. It's a shocking moment when you realize how low you have fallen and look around in dazed disbelief.
Germany has 3.2 million Muslims. France has 5 million. They did not come overnight but month by month and year by year. They did not declare overnight that the countries they had emigrated to would now have to live by their rule. It all took decades of a slowly growing minority and a slowly growing pressure exploding in bursts of violence.
The relationship between Europe and Islam slowly turned abusive. Now Europe is climbing out of bed with two black eyes and a broken arm and looking in the mirror trying to understand what's going on. In Sweden the right has won election for the first time ever. In Belgium, the capital of the EU, the right may duplicate that feat. Holland has already done it. France, of all places, is headed for a 'Tough on Islam' President. Germany has a conservative pro-US Prime Minister.
America had its moment of clarity on September 11th. It passed for some. It endured for others. Much of the War on Terror blogsphere is the product of men and women, many of them liberals, who experienced their own moments of clarity.
Now Europe is beginning to wake.

PO Box 79402
Dar Es Salaam
Women’s Dignity was formally established in 2001 in Dar es Salaam. Several years earlier a few doctors in Africa had begun performing surgery to ‘repair’ fistula for a small number of women lucky enough to reach their hospitals. The founding vision of Women’s Dignity, however, was that fistula should not only be treated but, more importantly, should be prevented in the first place. Women’s Dignity thus became the first programme in Africa to initiate efforts to prevent obstetric fistula. Since then, Women’s Dignity has increasingly expanded its focus to emphasise the core issues of inequity that underlie the ill-health of the poor.
The first phase of Women’s Dignity’s work (2001-2004) highlighted the problem of obstetric fistula and put fistula squarely onto the health agenda. The second phase (2005-2007) deepened the public’s understanding of the ‘pathways of vulnerability’ to fistula and the factors responsible for health inequalities. In its third phase (2008-2010), Women’s Dignity has sought to more actively highlight the inequities in health services that limit access by the poor, particularly marginalised girls and women. During these years, we have actively increased our engagement with media partnerships as avenues for informing the public and holding government accountable.
Women’s Dignity works to enable citizens -- particularly marginalised girls and women -- to realize their basic rights to health. Women’s Dignity provides citizens with information and education about health care with the aim of empowering these citizens to understand and promote their rights, to influence equitable policy development and allocation of resources, and to monitor for accountability of policies, programmes and services to vulnerable populations. We hold a particular commitment to the prevention of obstetric fistula and to promoting the dignity and rights of girls and women who have lived or are living with fistula.

A new report out of South Korea now claims that the Samsung’s next flagship phablet will be called Galaxy Note 7, instead of Galaxy Note 6 as expected.
The main logic behind this seems to be that Samsung wants their flagship smartphone names to be consistent. Samsung may want all of its flagships released in the same year to have the same number. For example, in 2016 we’ll have the S7, S7 edge, and Note 7 so as to avoid any chance of customers thinking that Galaxy note 6 is last generation while Galaxy S7 is latest. It might also be an attempt to compete with the upcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
The report also states that the new Note will come with a dual-edge screen, so we won’t see a Galaxy S7 edge+ launching alongside it like what happened last year with the Note5 and S6 edge+. Furthermore, the Note 7 will also have curved glass on its back, just like its predecessor (which is pictured above).
Samsung will reportedly release the Note 7 in early or mid-August – either way, it will become available before August 20. The launch date is thus pushed forward once more, presumably to let the phone be on the market for more time before Apple releases its new devices.

Vaccine linked to autism?
By Julie Foster
© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com
A new report by Dr. Harold Buttram, a practicing physician in Quakertown, Pa., suggests the recent increase in the number of autistic children could be caused by the combination measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine routinely given to children at age 18 months -- a phenomenon the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim is highly unlikely.
In a past study of autistic children, researchers found that 84 percent of the children had antibodies against a certain type of brain tissue, indicating that the immune system was destroying brain cells. The researchers also found the brain tissue antibody to be very similar to the antibody that's formed against the MMR vaccine. Additionally, MMR antibody was found in 59 percent of the autistic children compared to 10 percent in normal children.
Buttram also noted some experts believe certain childhood illnesses including measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox are a necessary and helpful step in strengthening the immune system. Because the vaccines are given by injection, the immune response of the mucous membranes, through which these diseases enter the body, is not challenged and strengthened. Those who support the theory also attribute the use of vaccines to the great increase in cases of asthma and eczema, both of which are diseases of the mucous membranes.
Buttram was quick to point out that measles and other diseases may result in complications that cause brain injury. Therefore, physicians and government officials may be choosing between the lesser of two evils.
"It is true that there may be situations where extreme measures may be justified, as the lesser of two evils, to preserve life and health," Buttram wrote. "The basic question, therefore, is whether the benefits of current childhood vaccines outweigh the harm, or whether the reverse is true."
The incidence of autism in California increased 273 percent from 1987 to 1998, and a growing number of medical professionals are questioning the FDA's vaccine safety tests.
"A small but growing minority of physicians and scientists are becoming aware that safety testing for the various vaccines has been woefully inadequate," Buttram wrote.
He cited a 1994 National Academy of Sciences review of the safety of the hepatitis B vaccine. The review was done to investigate five possible adverse effects of the vaccine. However, conclusions could not be made about four of the effects due to a lack of enough research.
Dr. Bernard Rimland, founder and director of the Autism Research Institute in San Diego, Calif., told DiscoveryHealth.com, "There are no data on the triple vaccines."
When the institute opened in 1967, Rimland noticed that a number of parents had mentioned that the diptheria, pertussin and tetanus, or DPT, vaccine seemed to have an adverse effect on their children.
"In the late '70s and early '80s, we began hearing the same thing about MMR," he said.
Rimland pointed out that triple vaccines can put additional stress on the body. A person's immune system usually deals with one virus at a time. Combining the individual measles, mumps and rubella vaccines into one package results in a much more dangerous vaccine, he said.
Rimland also noted that doctors can report adverse effects of vaccines through the Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting System, which is mandated by the Food and Drug Administration. However, the VAERS is a voluntary program. According to the FDA, between 90 and 99 percent of adverse effects resulting from vaccinations go unreported.
"The physician has been taught repeatedly that these vaccines are perfectly safe and that any event that is supposedly associated with them is just a coincidence," Rimland remarked.
He also cited possible malpractice suits, added paperwork and the lack of a penalty as reasons why doctors do not report these occurrences.
In an exclusive WorldNetDaily interview, Jane Orient, M.D., executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, said she believes an autism-MMR vaccine link should be investigated.
|Jane Orient, M.D.|
"I think that there has been a frightening increase in cases of autism that has not been explained," Orient said. "There are a number of anecdotal reports from parents that symptoms of autism have appeared close to the time of the vaccine."
Orient, who is a clinical lecturer in medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, and a professor of clinical medicine at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, told WND, "With each vaccine and each patient, there needs to be a risk-benefit analysis" to determine if the vaccine is worth the risk of developing autism.
The CDC disputes a connection between the vaccine and autism, saying, "The causes of autism are unknown in most cases."
The government agency's website states: "In a few cases, biologic causes have been identified, although none are unique to autism. ... The current theory favored by many experts is that autism is a genetically-based disorder that occurs before birth."
"To date there is no convincing evidence that any vaccine can cause autism or any kind of behavioral disorder," the agency says. "A suspected link between measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism has been suggested by some parents of children with autism. Typically, symptoms of autism are first noted by parents as their child begins to have difficulty with delays in speaking after age one. MMR vaccine is first given to children at 12 to 15 months of age. Therefore, autism cases with an apparent onset within a few weeks after MMR vaccination may simply be an expected but unrelated chance occurrence.
"The only evidence that has been presented to suggest that MMR vaccine may be associated with autism has been published by the Lancet. An editorial published in the same issue, however, discussed concerns about the validity of the study. Based on data from 12 patients, Wakefield and colleagues speculated that MMR vaccine may have been the possible cause of bowel problems which led to a decreased absorption of essential vitamins and nutrients which resulted in developmental disorders like autism. No scientific analyses were reported, however, to substantiate the theory," says the agency.
However, the CDC does concede, "If measles vaccine, or any other vaccine, causes autism then it would have to be a very rare occurrence since millions of children have received vaccines without ill health effects."
"From January 1990 through February 1998, only 15 cases of autism behavior disorder after immunization were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS)," the CDC states. "Because of the small number of reports over an 8 year period, the cases reported are likely to represent unrelated chance occurrences that happened around the time of vaccination."
But the FDA admits such reports are rare -- only 1 to 10 percent of cases involving adverse affects from the vaccine are reported, making the CDC's statement questionable.
Buttram is skeptical of government involvement in the medical field.
"When arbitrary decisions in the mandating of vaccines are made by government bureaucracies, which frequently work hand-in-glove with the pharmaceutical industry, with no recourse open to parents, we have all the potential ingredients for a tragedy of historic proportions," Buttram concluded.
Buttram's report was published in the March/April issue of the Medical Sentinel.

text: This review details the impact of the introduction of meningococcal serogroup C conjugate (MCC) vaccines in the UK. An overall reduction of 86.7% in the incidence of serogroup C infection in the targeted age groups has been observed from 1999 to 2001, with a concomitant decrease in deaths, from 67 in 1999 to 5 in 2001. The enhanced surveillance programme initiated to complement the introduction of MCC vaccines has been essential in generating data relating to vaccine coverage, vaccine failures and efficacy estimates. Vaccine coverage has exceeded 80% in all age groups targeted and up to the end of 2001, 25 confirmed and 1 probable vaccine failure have been observed in England and Wales. Efficacy estimates for England up to September 2001 were 91.5% in infants receiving three doses of MCC vaccine and 89.3% in toddlers receiving one dose of MCC vaccine (England). There is some evidence of herd immunity in unvaccinated cohorts of the target age groups, ranging from a reduction in disease incidence of 34% in 9-14 year olds to 61% in 15-17 year olds. Surveillance of the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of invasive and carriage isolates has shown no evidence to date of capsular switching from serogroup C to serogroup B.
