Suburban DC school district takes Christmas off calendar after Muslims complain
Suburban DC school district takes Christmas off calendar after Muslims complain - EAGnews.org: "ROCKVILLE, Md. – Christmas is now just December 25th in the Montgomery County school district.
The suburban DC district stripped Christmas and Jewish holy holidays from its official calendar after Muslim parents complained.
But that’s not good enough as they say the move does “nothing to gain parity and a day off for the Muslim holiday of Eid,” according to WTOP.
“Equality is really what we’re looking for,” Saqib Ali, co-chair of Equality for Eid, says.
“Simply saying we’re not going to call this Christmas, and we’re not going to call this Yom Kippur, and still closing the schools, that’s not equality.”
CAIR isn’t happy either.
“What’s really concerning to us is that similar conditions weren’t placed on any other faith community,” a representative of the group, Zainab Chaudry, says, the station reports."

Government Report Finds Rampant Nepotism At The DOJ
Government Report Finds Rampant Nepotism At The DOJ | The Daily Caller:
"A new government investigation has uncovered rampant nepotism at a Justice Department agency, where senior officials routinely gave paid federal jobs to their children stretching back at least to 2005.
The investigation focused on three senior officials at the Executive Office for Immigration Review, a DOJ agency whose mission is to “to adjudicate immigration cases by fairly, expeditiously, and uniformly interpreting and administering the Nation’s immigration laws.
Under delegated authority from the Attorney General, EOIR conducts immigration court proceedings, appellate reviews, and administrative hearings.”
The report not only implicated all three in hiring relatives for paid student positions, but found that “the practice of hiring relatives of employees into step positions in EOIR was widespread over a period of years.
… Multiple EOIR officials told the OIG that hiring relatives for paid student positions was a standard practice or commonplace.”"

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker wants to drug test welfare recipients - The Washington Post:
"Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has said he wants recipients of food stamps and unemployment benefits to undergo drug tests, a move that could face possible legal trouble.
The state is already one of five that require public assistance applicants who are convicted of drug felony charges to be tested for drugs, along with Maine, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Virginia, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Should Walker propose a broader measure that involves testing benefits applicants either randomly or without suspicion that they have used drugs, it could be found unconstitutional because of a 2003 Michigan Court of Appeals case, the NCSL said.
In 2010, at least 12 states tried passing legislation that would have enacted “suspicionless” drug testing for public assistance recipients, but none passed."

Note almost all are coming here from Europe/Asia. On ships!------'Killer shrimp' among 7 new aquatic pests banned from Michigan waters
'Killer shrimp' among 7 new aquatic pests banned from Michigan waters | MLive.com:
• Zander: A close relative of the walleye, regulators are concerned this species of river fish could compete with native U.S. walleye or reproduce with them to create a hybrid. In Europe, zander are considered a game fish in some countries. In places where they have been introduced, biologists have noted "reduced populations of prey fish and competitor fish, as well as trophic changes, and in the case of some Turkish lakes, extirpation of endemic species," according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The newly-listed pests are:
• Stone moroko: Also known as the topmouth gudgeon, this species of minnow is native to Asia and is considered an invasive pest in Europe. Large-scale efforts in the United Kingdom have attempted to eradicate the fish, which carries a pathogenic parasite that wipes out other minnow species.
• Wels catfish: Native to Eastern Europe and Asia, this species of catfish can grow up to 10 feet long. Climate matching has found the Great Lakes region to be a "very high" match for its native waters. Regulators are concerned introduction of the fish to U.S. waters could have harmful effects on native fish and mollusk populations, and lead to habitat degradation and possible disease transmission.
• Killer shrimp: This aggressive predator native to the Black and Caspian seas have regulators particularly worried. The species could "severely threaten the trophic levels of the Great Lakes by preying on a range of invertebrates," according to the DNR. The shrimp are known for slaughtering prey without eating them. They breed rapidly, are largely unchecked by natural enemies, and are believed to invade new areas byhitching a ride in ballast water.
• Yabby: A type of large blue Australian crayfish that biologists fear would compete with indigenous crayfish species.
• Golden mussel: According to the DNR, the golden mussel is not yet in the United States, but the species is tolerant of a wide range of environments and could easily colonize in the Great Lakes if introduced. Similar in size and shape to the zebra mussel, the golden mussel is a distinctive gold color with a pearly coating on the inside shell. The bivalve is native to Asia and could "pose a substantial threat to aquatic invertebrates and have the capacity to significantly alter all levels of food chain activity."
• Red swamp crayfish: The DNR says this species of large, dark red crayfish, native to the southeastern U.S., can quickly dominate water bodies and is "virtually impossible to eradicate." They outcompete smaller native crayfish species, gobble a range of food, are highly adaptable to new habitats, highly fertile, can survive drought conditions through burrowing and are known to migrate over land in search of new waters. In 2009, the Wisconsin DNR took aggressive measures to eradicate them from two suburban ponds.
Unintended consequences-----U.S. states' pot legalization not in line with international law: U.N. agency
U.S. states' pot legalization not in line with international law: U.N. agency | Reuters
Fedotov suggested the U.S. developments may be part of a wider trend that he said the UNODC was following.
On the international level, Uruguay's parliament in late 2013 approved a bill to legalize and regulate the production and sale of marijuana -- the first country to do so.
The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) has said Uruguay's new bill contravened the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which it says requires states to limit the use of cannabis to medical and scientific purposes, due to its dependence-producing potential. The Vienna-based INCB monitors compliance with this and two other drug control treaties.
Why is the "solution" ALWAYS giving more money and control to the governing class?------Study: There's demand for new convention center in downtown Muskegon
Study: There's demand for new convention center in downtown Muskegon | MLive.com:
The draft results of a $44,500 study paid for by Muskegon County were presented to Muskegon County Commissioners and members of the Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee.
....said there were two likely scenarios for building:
1. A convention center owned and operated by a public entity, such as Muskegon County.
The facility would cost roughly $24 million to build and would benefit the county's economy by $17 million in terms of dollars spent by visitors from outside of the area.
The facility would cost about $1.5 million to maintain per year.
2. A smaller convention center owned by the county but operated by a private entity under a lease agreement.
The facility would cost somewhere in the ballpark of $15 million and pump an estimate 10.6 million per year into the local economy.
The facility would cost about $600,000 to maintain per year.
"I think that both of these have merit," Krueger said."

Solar Plant Wants to Pay Off Massive Government Loan with Massive Government Grant
Solar Plant Wants to Pay Off Massive Government Loan with Massive Government Grant - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
American taxpayers are on the hook for the Ivanpah solar project out in the California Mojave Desert close to the border of Arizona Nevada.
The massive plant received $1.6 billion in loan guarantees from the Department of Energy to build it, out of a total cost of about $2.2 billion.
The plant went online in December of last year.
After operating for most of 2014, the plant seems to have hit a significant problem.
It’s only producing about a quarter of the power it has promised.
That could present a bit of a challenge paying back its loan.
So what are they doing?
Why they’re asking for a federal grant, of course.
That is to say, they are asking for taxpayer dollars to pay back the loan that they got from the federal government that is guaranteed to be paid back with taxpayer dollars should the project fail. Fox news has the details, with some contributing analysis by Reason Foundation Vice President of Research Julian Morris:

"President Obama’s 2012 program to defer deportation of young illegal immigrants greatly eased their ability to get jobs, credit cards, bank accounts, driver’s licenses and even Obamacare despite their undocumented status, according to a new Harvard University report.
The review of over 2,000 young illegals given relief from deportation by Obama’s June 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, found that many have won the same benefits as U.S. citizens, including higher education despite the failure of the so-called Dream Act that led to the president's initiative.
“Since receiving DACA, many have obtained new jobs and internships.
Some have also opened bank accounts and obtained credit cards,” said the study just published in the journal American Behavioral Scientist.
It added: “And although the Affordable Care Act does not guarantee health insurance to DACA recipients, a significant share of our respondents have reported obtaining health care since receiving their DACA paperwork.”
The report, made available to Secrets, even coined a special phrase for the new class of illegal immigrants created by Obama.
“They may grade their label ‘undocumented’ for ‘DACAmented,’” it said."

Energy harvesters are needed, for example, in wireless self-powered sensors and medical implants, where they could ultimately replace batteries.
In the future, energy harvesters can open up new opportunities in many application areas such as wearable electronics.
...VTT estimates that the new electricity generation technology could be introduced on an industrial scale within three to six years.
Energy harvesters and new sensing solutions are among the projected megatrends of the near future. Energy harvesters can replace batteries and other energy sources in applications where maintenance is difficult or impossible.
