Nothing says “we are righteous and entitled to deference” like smashing and looting a local woman’s cake shop. And smashing and looting the mini-market that Michael Brown robbed and then running away laughing, and looting the local phone shop, and burning down the local pharmacy, and burning down the local auto spares business, and the local pizza restaurant, and the local beauticians, and then shooting at the firemen who are trying to put those fires out before other people lose their livelihoods too.
You know, for “social justice.”

Kudos to the Chronicle-Herald;

EDITOR’S NOTE: We’ve decided to publish the name of the victim in this story, despite a court-ordered ban. We believe it’s in the public interest in this unique case, given the widespread recognition of Rehtaeh Parsons’ name, and given the good that can come, and has already come, from free public debate over sexual consent and the other elements of her story.
Rehtaeh’s parents want her name printed, and Judge Jamie Campbell, who upheld the publication ban, wrote in his decision that “the ban serves no purpose,” though he had no choice but to uphold it. Waiving Rehtaeh’s privacy rights “would be a good thing, if it could be done just for this case, just this once,” the judge wrote.
It is difficult for readers to follow a news story when the name associated with it is omitted, and we want to inform Nova Scotians of the outcome of this legal case. We would like to reassure other crime victims that their own court-ordered privacy rights will be respected as always.

Kortney Sanders and her partner, both members of Sea Worlds rescue team, were attempting to rescue a one and a half year old sea lion which had wandered onto the sand underneath some cliffs at the end of Santa Cruz in Ocean Beach.
During their initial assessment, Kortney felt a rock fall from the crowd that had gathered above. […]
As for the incident, Kortney admits harassment has become more frequent over the past year and a half since the release of the documentary “Black Fish” which criticizes Sea World and the use of Orcas in captivity.

Rigzone;

Delays in projects, particularly to increase recovery from operating fields, risk leaving oil permanently in the ground, depriving Norway of vital budget revenue and shortening the lifetime of fields in an already mature area.
“We are doing the socioeconomic calculations and we are working with a 4 percent rate of return but when the industry is working with 6-8-10-12 percent, then we have a real problem,” Nyland told Reuters on the sidelines of a conference.
“Projects that are very profitable from a socioeconomic perspective are put on hold because companies are expecting too big a margin; there is a big gap between what they see as profitable and what we see,” Nyland said on Wednesday.

Excellent.

Boycott both NBC and ABC over failing to report on Gruber’s revelations and put CBS on final notice over the revelations that they coordinated with the Obama administration to tank Sharyl Attkisson’s Benghazi reporting. Network news is a dying religion becoming more ideologically rigid, forgoing any attempt to stay relevant in a media landscape that no longer needs them. Leave them behind. We’ve already shown that it works. Marginalize them and label them progressive news outlets and make them live by it. MSNBC came out of the progressive closet fully earlier this year and their ratings and web traffic got worse. Air America is no more and Current TV is now an unloved stepchild Al Gore gave away for oil money.
Reince Priebus threatened to boycott NBC and CNN over Hillary movies and documentaries aimed at paving the way toward her eventual coronation in 2016. It was a bold and refreshing action that loudly stated enough was enough.

Hagel gone;

A respected former senator who struck a friendship with Mr. Obama when they were both critics of the Iraq war from positions on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Mr. Hagel has nonetheless had trouble penetrating the tight team of former campaign aides and advisers who form Mr. Obama’s closely knit set of loyalists.

Meanwhile, John Kerry continues talks with Iran…
Flashback: Republicans did try to warn him.

All illustrated in magnificent detail;

A wind turbine project life cycle consists of the following 13 phases:
Engineering,
Procurement,
Fabrication,
Manufacturing,
Construction,
Assembly,
Installation ,
Erection,
Commissioning,
Handover to Operation;
operation,
maintenance;
Disposal.
All the 13 phases would be absolutely impossible to achieve without burning fuel. Fuel used for making of materials, transportations, movement of personnel working on the job, lighting of offices etc. The wind turbine projects have high FUEL COST; & high Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) cost.
In return for al above wind turbine as a device for Electric Power Generation has love availability; reliability; maintainability as defined in IEC 50 (191).

Y2Kyoto: Demoting Science To Its Rightful Place

Soylent green is SCIENTISTS!!!

Up until May this year, Professor -Glover had seemed an ideal fit for [chief scientific adviser to the President of the European Commission]. Most importantly — as Alex Salmond’s former chief scientist — she held the ‘correct’ views on climate change, even to the point of suggesting that global warming might lengthen the hours of daylight in Scotland.
But then she made the fatal mistake of being rather too outspoken and independent in a speech to Eurochambres, the Association of the European Chambers of Commerce and Industry, on the subject of the manipulation of science for political ends sometimes known as ‘policy-based evidence-making’.
One of the worst examples, she noted, was the EU’s ‘Reach’ regulation on chemicals adopted in 2006. Though as many as 36 different independent impact assessment studies had demonstrated that this would have a disastrous effect on business, the EU preferred to ignore them all in favour of its own impact study which, unsurprisingly, showed that Reach was a jolly good thing.
