Justice for Gary Kirkland

I am asking for your outrage for how the Justice System in Arizona Treats Truck Drivers. I am trying to get Justice. My livelyhood has been stripped away from me for the Past 5 years for a violation that isn't major. It doesn't involve alcohol, drugs or any accidents.

My livelihood was stripped from me because of a series of mistakes on my part and my companies part.
I own up to my mistake of no paying close enough attention to my insurance card and not staying on top of the situation. The Company is at fault for not sending in the proof of insurance. With that being said Arizona has sent me a paper to set aside default Judgement and the paper they require they want the original and I faxed them the paper and they are refusing to accept it. I can't find the Original and feel they should accept the FAX. Lets call them and suggest they take the faxed copy and set me Free

Call Quartzsite Justice Court at 928-927-6313 and tell them to accept the Paperwork on case #TR2008-00723

Geoengineeringwatch.org website was mysteriously taken down. After post regarding UV Levels

Dane Wiggington is calling for an emergency action. On the geoengineeringwatch.org site, Dane had just posted an article on the emergency levels of UV!! Urgent. Please repost!!

1,200 – 1,300 times above what is called, “normal”. An Arctic Ozone Hole, if similar in size to the Antarctic Ozone Hole, could expose over 700+ million people, wildlife and plants to dangerous UV ray levels

It is a fact that the ozone layer in our upper atmosphere protects earth from damaging levels of Ultra Violet radiation. In 1993, scientists at Environment Canada completed the first long-term study showing that increase in UV levels at the earth’s surface are due to thinning of the ozone layer.

Since the early 1970′s chemical reactions in the environment are depleting the ozone, allowing more UV to get through. This increase in UV radiation is causing severe sun burning, eye cataracts, cancer and immune system dysfunction. Science has stepped forward to try to stop earth’s ozone destruction, but new evidence indicates that ozone depletion is getting worse.

Research on depletion of the ozone layer began in earnest when in 1974 two Nobel Prize winners proved that certain chemicals were destroying the ozone in our atmosphere. Since the 1970′s scientists have observed a large seasonal “hole” in the ozone layer in Antarctica. Steps were taken to reduce the use of the chemicals causing this problem, and the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer was originally signed in 1987. Since that time, the ozone hole in the Southern Hemisphere over Antarctica has grown to as large as 25 million square miles.

In 1995, severe depletion was noted in the Northern Hemisphere as well. At that time ozone depletion of 20 to 35% was discovered in middle and high latitudes. In 1997 ozone losses over the Arctic of up to 45% were recorded and in the lower latitudes of Canada where more people live, up to 10%.

Even though steps have been taken by the world community, recent findings show that the ozone layer has not yet recovered. In fact current ozone depletion is greater than expected.Implications are that if this is not remedied right away, a tipping point may be reached in which a rapid, mass chemical reaction in the atmosphere could destroy immense amounts of ozone.

This would cause the sun’s heat to melt two huge continents of ice in the Arctic and Antarctic. As a result, the oceans of the world would rise several feet. Then whole continents of ice could suddenly slip into the ocean causing tsunamis 100′s of feet high to wash several miles inland. It could be the worst disaster the human race has ever known.

For now, we must realize that patches of thin ozone over our houses make it very dangerous to go outside at times. In northern California, in the early spring, we can be exposed to dangerously high UV levels.

One statistic I found stated that, “During the three-day period from March 17 to 19, 2006 the total ozone cover fell below 300 DU over part of the North Atlantic region from Greenland to Scandinavia.” The article warned that 300 DU is a dangerously low total ozone count. DU stands for Dobson Units which measure ozone on a scale of 0 to 500. When the DU’s go as low as 220, it is considered a “hole.”

I have not yet seen warnings to United States citizens about low DU readings or high UV Index readings, but I have read the DU recorded daily over my area by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). I found several days in February and March, 2008 in which the DU’s were under 300. NOAA registered readings under 300 for eleven days in February, and 12 days in March over my house. Interestingly, the days when there were low DU readings were also the days that I saw the real thick contrails from jets. The lowest point of ozone concentrations occur in October over Antarctica and in March over the Antarctic.

People in Shasta County in Northern California took samples from ponds, HVAC filters, tops of sheds and solar panels to see what was falling out of these chemtrails. Solar panel efficiency dropped considerably when the spraying was going on. The professional lab tests showed abnormally high and unacceptable levels of aluminum, barium and strontium. There are no sources for these chemicals in this area except from what is falling out of the sky. Investigations of US patents indicate that these are the chemicals being sprayed to make cloud cover. After the jets spray, the DU’s rise.

Citizens are not being told about these low DU readings, about the spraying nor do we ever get UV alerts like they get in Australia. We are making appeals to our County Air Quality Board and our Senator, Barbara Boxer to investigate the source of these chemicals.

TheOzoneHole.com has charts showing large patches of thinning ozone over the northern hemisphere. Most of Canada, Greenland, Iceland, the UK and Europe are right underneath these thinning areas. They say that, “An Arctic Ozone Hole, if similar in size to the Antarctic Ozone Hole, could expose over 700+ million people, wildlife and plants to dangerous UV ray levels. The likely hood of this happening seems inevitable based on the deterioration of ozone layer caused by the effects of global warming on the upper atmosphere.”

I think it is already a dangerous situation. Why aren’t we being alerted to the fact that dangerous levels of UV are penetrating the ozone layer all over the earth?

According to NASA scientist, Jim Hansen, we are dangerously close to a ‘tipping point” in which a warming climate will feed back on itself amplifying the warming effects. In May of 2007, ABC News released a report on this NASA/Columbia study which said we only have 10 more years of “business as usual” creating emission from the burning of cola, oil and gas. The lead author of this paper, Jim Hansen is director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York. According to the report, if we do not act in time, “it becomes impractical” to avoid “disastrous effects.”

Rangers snap scoreless streak, walk off on Soto's blas

By T.R. Sullivan
MLB.com

ARLINGTON -- The Rangers, trailing, 3-0, after five innings, rallied with two home runs from A.J. Pierzynski and Geovany Soto in the ninth for a 4-3 walk-off victory over the Angels at the Ballpark in Arlington on Monday night.

The Rangers, who snapped their streak of 26 consecutive scoreless innings with a run in the sixth, also snapped their four-game losing streak by getting to Angels closer Ernesto Frieri. Ian Kinsler drove in the Rangers first two runs with a single in the sixth and a sacrifice fly in the eighth.

Pierzynski led off the ninth by hitting a 1-2 pitch into the right-field seats for his 11th home run of the season. Nelson Cruz followed with a single to left, but David Murphy grounded into a double play.

But Soto came up and hit a 3-2 pitch high and deep down the left-field line, which just got over the wall for the game-winner. It also set off a big celebration at home plate.

Rangers starter Matt Garza took a no-decision in his second start since being acquired from the Cubs. He allowed three runs -- all in the fifth inning. The Angels had five hits and three walks in seven innings against Garza and he struck out six. Garza had won six straight starts with a 1.23 ERA.

Angels starter Jered Weaver also went seven innings, holding the Rangers to one run on five hits and a walk while striking out six. He is 5-1 with a 1.32 ERA in his last six starts.

Garza had allowed two hits going into the fifth and struck out Hank Conger to start the inning. But J.B. Shuck, hitting at the bottom of the Angels order, hit a 3-1 fastball into the right-field seats for a home run. Garza then got ahead 0-2 on Erick Aybar and ended up walking him.

After Kole Calhoun flied out, Mike Trout doubled to center -- putting runners on second and third -- and Josh Hamilton bounced a single to left to bring home two runs.

The Rangers came through in the sixth and snapped Weaver's own streak of 19 2/3 scoreless innings. Leonys Martin reached on a one-out bunt base hit and went to second when Elvis Andrus was thrown out trying to bunt his way on base. Kinsler followed with a single to center to bring home Martin. Adrian Beltre also singled, his second hit of the night. But Weaver struck out Pierzynski to end the inning.

Texas fell two short of the club record for consecutive innings without scoring a run. The 1972 Rangers still hold that record with 28 consecutive scoreless innings.

Major League Baseball, the Twins and the Twin Cities will host a news conference at Target Field on Tuesday to unveil the official logo of the 2014 All-Star Game.

The news conference is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. CT at home plate before the Twins' 7:10 p.m. game against the Royals at Target Field. Next year's Midsummer Classic will be played on July 15.

Among those slated to attend are 2013 All-Stars Joe Mauer and Glen Perkins. They'll be joined by Twins owner and CEO Jim Pohlad, Twins president Dave St. Peter, Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak and St. Paul mayor Chris Coleman. Also scheduled to attend are MLB executive vice president Tim Brosnan, vice chair of the Minnesota Ballpark Authority Board of Commissioners Martin Sabo and chair of the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners Mike Opat.

Next year marks the third time that the All-Star Game will be held in Minnesota. The Twins hosted the 1965 Midsummer Classic at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minn., and the 1985 All-Star Game at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. The 2014 game will be the first at Target Field, which opened in 2010.

St. Peter and two dozen other members of Minnesota's front office attended this season's All-Star Game festivities at Citi Field to get a sense of what's in store for them next year.

Reports: A-Rod suspension could be imminent

By Adam Berry
MLB.com

TAMPA, Fla. -- It's become increasingly difficult to predict what will happen next in the daily drama surrounding Alex Rodriguez.

Rodriguez finished up his rehab assignment with complaints of a strained left quadriceps, only to say days later that he was ready to play. He sent Dr. Michael Gross on an impromptu media tour to challenge the Yankees' diagnosis, then Gross admitted he's never even met A-Rod. Rodriguez released a statement Thursday saying he didn't want "any more mix-ups" with the Yankees, then called into WFAN radio in New York and said four times that he was "frustrated" with being held back.

Rodriguez has been working out at the Yankees' Minor League complex, hoping to return from his quad injury and get back on the field as soon as possible. Aside from his occasional statements released through a publicist and a few radio interviews, A-Rod has remained silent.

But one thing has become exceedingly clear, based on several published reports this weekend and on Monday: He soon will be disciplined by Major League Baseball.

And Rodriguez's lawyer, David Cornwell, left no doubt Monday afternoon in a radio interview with ESPN New York 98.7 FM: They're not going to accept a suspension.

"All I can tell you is my job is to represent Alex in connection with this inquiry by baseball and to prepare an appeal on behalf of Alex in the event that any discipline is handed down," Cornwell said in an interview with Stephen A. Smith.

"When the time comes, and we haven't gotten there yet, when the time comes and baseball does whatever it is going to do, then I will sit down with Alex and talk to him about the process of the appeal, filing the appeal and going in and presenting our best evidence that we have -- and we think we have good evidence -- to defend his interest, to protect him. That's what I expect to be doing."

The New York Post first reported Sunday that Rodriguez could be suspended this week as part of baseball's investigation into the now-shuttered Biogenesis clinic, a South Florida operation run by Anthony Bosch, who has cooperated with MLB investigators. Last week, Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun accepted a 65-game suspension -- the remainder of the season -- for his reported involvement with Bosch and Biogenesis.

Cornwell told ESPN New York he wouldn't consider that a victory for Rodriguez. Asked by Smith what he would consider a "win" in this case, Cornwell said, "No discipline. ... Obviously. That's easy."

According to the Post, MLB could suspend Rodriguez for the rest of this year and the entirety of the 2014 season. Under baseball's Basic Agreement, first-time offenders who test positive for performing-enhancing drugs are suspended 50 games for a positive test. A second positive test earns a 100-game ban and a third violation results in a lifetime ban.

But those standards might not apply in the case of Rodriguez. The Associated Press reported Monday that MLB could try to suspend Rodriguez under its collective bargaining agreement rather than its drug policy. That would allow MLB to suspend him immediately rather than have the suspension delayed during the appeals process.

The New York Daily News reported that MLB officials believe their evidence against Rodriguez "would warrant lifetime banishment." There has been talk that Braun's quick agreement strengthens Bosch's credibility as it relates to MLB's case against A-Rod, an idea that Cornwell addressed Monday.

"Obviously they believe that he's credible. I have my concerns," said Cornwell, who previously represented Braun, the only Major League player to have a positive drug test overturned. "But what's most important is whether or not arbitrator [Fredric] Horowitz will believe that he's credible. That's something that we will present in the hearing room, not to the media."

Before a suspension is publicly issued, Rodriguez could choose to discuss a plea agreement with MLB, as Braun did. However, Rodriguez told WFAN's Mike Francesa on Thursday that his representatives hadn't had those discussions.

According to the Post, Rodriguez's team "met with MLB officials in the past few days," but not to discuss a settlement. Instead, A-Rod's representatives were just trying to "gain a better understanding of potential penalties."

If MLB is seeking a potential lifetime suspension for Rodriguez, who admitted in 2009 that he took performance-enhancing drugs while playing for the Rangers from 2001-03, then a settlement could result in him sitting out until 2015 without pay, according to the Daily News.

In that scenario, Rodriguez's suspension would be effective immediately. If the 38-year-old third baseman -- fifth on the all-time list with 647 career home runs -- is able to play after two major hip surgeries and two full years out of the game, it would also give him a chance to collect the $61 million the Yankees owe him from 2015-17, the remnants of the 10-year, $275 million deal he signed with New York in '07.

For now, it's uncertain when Rodriguez will get back on the field in a Major League game, if he will at all. But if the reports are true, the next chapter in A-Rod's story should be unfolding soon.

"I can't tell you what he's thinking about or what he says as it relates to the investigation, but I can tell you that in my discussions with him, generally, Alex's primary focus right now is playing baseball," Cornwell said. "That's what Alex's primary focus is right now. We'll have a chance to deal with these other issues as they arrive and as they unfold. ... When that time comes, we will. But until then ... the only thing Alex is focused on right now is trying to get back and play baseball."

JFK SecondShooter? NewDocumentary MakesRadical Claim

A new documentary alleges that a Secret Serviceagent was the second (and accidental) shooter in the assassination of JohnF. Kennedy.

At the TelevisionCriticsAssociation presstour in Los Angeleson Sunday, producersand investigatorsbehind Reelz Channel's new documentary "JFK: TheSmoking Gun" made theclaim that George Hickey, a Secret Service agent riding inthe car behind Kennedy, accidentally shot the president on Nov. 22, 1963. The filmfollowsveteran police detective Colin McLaren in hisfour-year investigation of the assassination and pointsat Hickey, who died two yearsago.

McLaren's research built on the work of Howard Donahue, who spent 20 yearsstudying the assassinationand had hisfindings documented in Bonar Menninger’s book Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK. McLaren and Menninger wereon hand Sunday to take questionsabout their film, which the network billed in pressnotesas a "docudrama."

Addressing thecrowd, McLaren claimed that Hickey and other Secret Serviceagentswere out partying the night beforeKennedy's fatal motorcade drive through Dallas. Based onhis painstaking investigation, McLaren said, evidence suggestsHickey wasnot qualified to use the weapon he was holdingthe morning of the shooting.

"It washisfirst timein thefollow car, his first time holding the assault weapon he was using," McLaren said. Producerssaid the film's theory is that shotsrangout, and Hickey grabbed his weapon to return fire. When hiscar stopped suddenly, Hickey accidentally discharged hisweapon -- making him the second shooter, the film's investigatorsand producers alleged.

McLaren said he believesthat Hickey's weapon had hollow-point rounds -- different fromthe ammunition for the weaponused by Lee Harvey Oswald, whom the Warren Commission declared in 1964 was thelone gunmanin the case. Menninger and McLarensaid that based on their review of the forensicsin the case, they believe that Kennedy was also struck by a hollow-point round.

Oswald waskilled before he could stand trial, but the case has continued to inspirevarious theoriesaround just how the tragedy occurred. Booksand films have advanced different ideas--including a second shooter theory.

"We're not saying thiswas intentional," Menninger said Sunday. "Thiswasa tragic accident in the heat of themoment."

"We don't suggest he was in any way involved in a conspiracy," Menninger added.

Donahuewroteabout his theory decadesago, but McLaren said it's taken decades-- and therelease of thousands of JFK-related documentsduring the Clinton administration -- for a proper review of all the evidence and information related to the case. The authorsacknowledged Sunday that there aremany other booksand filmson theassassination, but said theirsisunique because it is based on a new review of the documents released during the 1990s.

McLaren and Menninger also alleged that the government --including Robert F. Kennedy --covered up the involvement of the Secret Serviceand Hickey.

Theproducerswere pressed on how the alleged involvement of the Secret Servicecould becovered up for 50 years.

"Nobody wasgoing to gain" from having thisout there, Menninger said.

"We're not here to blackenthe name" of Hickey or any other individual, or the modern-day Secret Service, McLaren said.

Menninger discussed the fact that hewassued by Hickey in the1990s, but noted that despitea settlement, his publisher never removed his book from the shelves.

"I'msurethat [Hickey] suffered greatly from this," Menninger said. "The fact that hepassed on--maybe it'stime to talk about it."

"Our documentary isgoing to be the only onethat hasopened the case forensically and looked at the evidence fromthe beginning and examined everything that happened that day in Dealey Plaza," Michael Prupas, thefilm's executive director, said.

Reelz Channel gained notice two yearsago for airing the miniseries "The Kennedys," whichsome historical experts criticized as an unflattering portrayal of thefamily.

"No other network will touch these things," Reelz's CEO Stanley E. Hubbard said Sunday.

Thedocumentary is set to air on Nov. 3, 2013, according to a press release.

Safety board recommends trucks be connected to avoid crashes

On the heels of a report released this week on an investigation into a truck and school bus crash that happened in February of 2012, the National Transportation Safety Board has made several recommendations to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and other groups based on its findings, with the biggest recommendation being that all trucks and cars become equipped with what it calls “connected vehicle technology,” to allow the vehicle to determine if a vehicle is coming in an intersection.

This recommendation was made to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, suggesting that NHTSA develop minimum standards for connected vehicle technology for all highway vehicles.

NTSB recommended to FMCSA that it require all persons applying for inclusion in the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners to have “both a thorough knowledge of pharmacology and current prescribing authority.”

The crash that spurred the recommendations occurred in Chesterfield, N.J. A school bus carrying 25 kindergarten through 6th grade students was turning into an intersection and failed to yield to a truck hauling a dump container. The bus rotated 180 degrees after being hit and hit a pole. One bus passenger was killed, and five sustained serious injuries. The truck driver was uninjured.

NTSB also recommended to NHTSA that it develop standards for and mandate use of onboard vehicle weighing systems for trucks that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more and are used in hauling aggregates, earthen construction materials, raw natural resources, garbage and refuse or used in logging, timber or agricultural operations.

Oral arguments set for CSA suit

The suit brought by the Alliance for Safe and Efficient Truck Transportation (ASECTT), filed last year in federal district court in Washington, D.C., will see first oral arguments made Sept. 10, said Panther Expedited Service’s Government/CSA Qualification Coordinator Irwin Shires. Speaking at the Expedite Expo, Shires described the suit as alleging FMCSA has “abdicated its responsibility” to make safety judgments about interstate carriers by encouraging shippers and brokers to utilize the Compliance Safety Accountability Safety Measurement System’s metrics in business decisions.

FMCSA wins case, pilot program with Mexico to continue

A federal court has ruled against both cases filed by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association over the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s cross-border trucking pilot program with Mexico.

On July 26, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejected the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association’s and the Teamsters Union’s petitions. The organizations requested a rehearing in their consolidated case after the court ruled April 19 to allow FMCSA to continue the program.

Congress decided truckers with Mexican CDLs would be considered equivalent of a state CDL, stated Judge Brett Kavanaugh on behalf of the three-judge panel. “We therefore conclude that the pilot program allows Mexican truck drivers to use their Mexican-issued commercial drivers’ licenses,” Kavanaugh wrote.

The panel also dismissed additional arguments against the program, which includes assertions that Mexico’s drug testing and vision tests are inadequate and that too few carriers are in the pilot program to gauge if Mexican carriers would operate safely beyond the commercial border zone.

The panel also rejected OOIDA’s separate but related case it presented to the court May 6. The 2005 highway reauthorization act stipulates U.S. truckers have medical certificates issued by the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. FMCSA requires Mexican and Canadian drivers meet the medical qualifications of their own countries, but they do not have to have a certificate through the recently established registry.

The 2005 statute does not override the 2011 trucking agreement between Mexico and the United States, said Judge Janice Rogers Brown, in writing the majority opinion.

“The question we must answer is whether a facially unambiguous statute of general application is enough to abrogate an existing international agreement without some further indication Congress intended such repudiation,” Brown stated. “We conclude it is not.”

But this agreement is inconsistent with 2005 registry requirement and earlier international agreements, Senior Judge David Sentelle wrote. “The court’s opinion today departs from the precedents of the Supreme Court and this circuit, and is not founded in the Constitution,” he stated. “I respectfully dissent.”

The court should grant the petition for review and “vacate this unlawful rule,” Sentelle stated.

Additionally, FMCSA would not be prohibited from adding Mexican or Canadian doctors to the registry or the United States from drafting new agreements to address these issues, he wrote.

How long does a 34-hour restart really take?

By James Jaillet

By James Jaillet Published July, 26 2013

Among several other kinks thrown into scheduling for fleets and drivers by the new hours-of-service rules that went into effect earlier this month is the requirement that a driver’s 34-hour break to restart his or her work week include two periods between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.

So how much time exactly will that add to a driver’s restart? It could be as much as 17-hours, if a driver times his or her restart poorly.

Posted this week on the Journal of Commerce is an interactive infographic designed to show just that and to show how minor changes to the end of a driver’s workweek can add nearly an entire day to the time a driver must stay sidelined before starting a new 70-hour workweek.

As noted in the JOC article, for drivers to attain a restart that satisfies the minimum 34 hours and only that, a driver would have to end his work week within a 6-hour window between 7 p.m. and 1 a.m. Aiding in the math is a chart that allows drivers to select what time they would go off duty at the end of their week. The chart then shows when a driver would be allowed to resume work and begin his or her next 70-hour week.

For instance, if a driver ended his or her workweek at 3 p.m., he or she would not be able to resume work until 5 a.m. two days later, resulting in a 38-hour restart.

If a driver ended his work week at 2 a.m., however, he also wouldn’t be able to resume work until 5 a.m., resulting in a 51-hour restart period.

Parent Alert: Dad catches 21-year-old photographing boys in mall bathroom

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Dad catches 21-year-old photographing boys in mall bathroom Posted: Jul 29, 2013 5:15 AM EDT A 21-year-old was arrested at the Opry Mills Mall after getting caught recording a young boy in the bathroom. Police responded to the food court area of the mall on Sunday in reference to a call about obscene behavior. The victim, a 10-year-old boy, was using a public restroom and needed his father to retrieve some toilet paper. As the boy began to wipe himself, the father observed a hand holding a cell phone over the wall of his son's stall taking photographs. The father confronted the suspect, later identified as Gerrit Greiert, who tried to leave the area. However, as he was leaving, he began accessing the photographs, so the victim's father detained him and confiscated the cell phone until authorities arrived. Once in police custody, Greiert admitted to taking photographs in the restroom and consented to a search of his cell phone. Police found several photos of two male juveniles, in which their private areas were visibly exposed. Greiert was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. His bond was set at $100,000. Greiert is due in court August 1.

For those that don't know an OTR Truck Driver does not get paid by the hour. The Pay is by the miles that's why BS Rules and Regulations like.

"Rest Breaks-May drive only if 8 hours or less have passed since end of driver’s last off-duty or sleeper-berth period of at least 30 minutes. [49 CFR 397.5 mandatory "in attendance" time may be included in break if no other duties performed]"

OK lets do it this way. Lets say you get paid by the Mile. Lets assume you make $0.35 per mile. You got 11 hours you can drive and you can only work 14 hrs. You sat at a shipper getting loaded for 5 hours this gives you 10 hrs. Left to drive.

You go to the nearest cat scales to make sure your weight is legal because if your tractor/trailer is over 80,000 lbs you will get fined. You find out your weight isn't right and the shipper has to get your weight right. You drive back to shipper for them to adjust now the drive to the cat scale took you 30 minutes and the scales took you 15 minutes and the drive back to shipper took you 30 minutes. It takes them 15 minutes to adjust your load and 30 minutes back to the CAT Scales to weigh yourself again and you spend another 15 minutes there. This leaves you 7 hours 45 minutes your not being paid till you start heading to Consignee. You spent $12 for a scale ticket the company might or might not reimburse you for. You drive 7 hrs 45 minutes. You made 143.15 that day. The scale ticket cost you $12, 3 meals cost you $60, your shower cost you $12.00, uncle Sam cost you $21.47. That leaves you $37.68 which equals to $2.69/hr.

You get your Government mandated 10 hour break. You could deliver today because its 11 hrs away and you could break for your mandatory 10 to rest but after 8 hrs of Driving you have to stop for 30 minutes this consignee wont let you park there and its gonna take 3.5 hrs to unload you. You can't deliver this load cause you'd be over your 14 for the day. That 30 minutes didn't only cost you 30 minutes of Drive for that day but cost you an extra 3.5 hours the next day all because the FMCSA a government body that gets a nice fat salary says they know what's good for you and costs the U.S. Taxpayer $80 Billion a year to operate

As a society we have failed. I promise this wont be long. We accept excuses but noone accepts responsibility for their actions. I was brought up in a small town and was taught to take responsibility for my actions. If Americans don't get a job its someone else fault. If Americans go to jail its someone else's fault. How about I didn't get the job. Lets see what I need to do to fix that the next time. What it makes too much sense?

I got arrested. Well, what can I do to fix the problem?  These simple acknowledgements is all you need to fix the Problem. I don't blame the world for my problems I blame the one that created it 99.999999% of the time its me. America grow a set of balls and quit blaming others!

I've Fucking Had It With This 'Porn Addiction' Bullshit

CLEVELAND, OH—Anyone remember Ariel Castro? He's the asshole who, between 2002 and 2004, kidnapped two teens and a young adult and held them captive in his delapidated house, repeatedly raping them and, when they became pregnant, causing miscarriages (although he did let one infant survive) until they escaped on May 6 after he forgot to lock one of his doors.

Yeah, you've heard of it; it was in all the papers (if anybody reads those anymore).

But most folks probably don't know Castro's background, so let me enlighten you, courtesy of the internet.

The son of immigrants, Castro was raised in Cleveland, met his former common-law wife there, and together, in 1992, they moved into a house at 2207 Seymore Avenue, where the "fun" really began.

Castro was a wife-beater, at various times breaking her arm, ribs and nose, and fracturing her skull by throwing her down a flight of stairs. He was arrested for domestic battery a couple of times but never convicted, and in 1996, the wife moved out, taking the couple's four children with her, but that didn't stop the beatings, which continued (along with threats of violence) until at least 2005, when the wife got a restraining order.

To call Castro a "loser" is being charitable. He worked as a school bus driver for 22 years until he was fired in 2012 for "bad judgment." Among his "bad judgments" were hanging an illegal U-turn with the school bus with kids inside, leaving a kid locked on the bus while he stopped for lunch, using the school bus to take him shopping at the supermarket, and leaving the bus unattended while to took a nap at home. Though he made almost $19 per hour, his home was in foreclosure for three years of unpaid real estate taxes at the time the three women were rescued. According to Castro's son Anthony, who didn't visit his dad regularly, "The house was always locked. There were places we could never go. There were locks on the basement. Locks on the attic. Locks on the garage."

This was/is not a good person.

So forgive me if I look a little askance at his allocution today while pleading guilty to 937 of the 977-count indictment against him. At the hearing before Judge Michael Russo, when the judge asked Castro if he could understand the charges against him, Castro replied, "In English, I'm very good at spelling and very good at reading, but I can't comprehend because, as I mentioned earlier, my addiction to pornography and my sexual problems have really taken a toll on my mind."

Judge Russo didn't want to hear any more of that, telling him to save it for his sentencing, but the mainstream newspaper and internet news headlines across the country are screaming things like USA Today's current one: "Castro in plea deal: 'I'm addicted to pornography'."

Jesus Fucking Christ! How long is the legal, sane, incredibly peaceful adult entertainment industry going to suffer from horseshit like this? If anybody were going to be addicted to porn, it would be us, right? We work in it or with it every day, and as reviewers here at AVN, we see dozens of adult movies every month, and guess what? None of us are addicted—whatever that word actually means to those who attempt to apply it to thoughts rather than drugs!

Beyond that, all of the legitimate studies that have been done on the effects on adults of watching sexual material show that while some viewers of violent porn tend to think rapists deserve lighter sentences than those who don't watch it, watching porn largely has no lasting effect on anyone, not even "hypersexualized" viewers. Moreover, the American Psychiatric Association recently refused to list "sex addiction," much less "porn addiction," as a diagnosis in its DSM-5 manual, although it did list "hypersexual disorder," though Castro shows none of its symptoms.

And finally, there have been no reports from investigators who have searched Castro's home of finding large caches of porn of any sort—in fact, porn hasn't been mentioned at all in any of the news stories about Castro's arrest in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, that city's premier newspaper... until today!

Of course, Castro is hardly the first criminal to claim "porn addiction" as an excuse for his crimes, and the label has even been used by conservatives to tar political activists, not to mention as an excuse to deny medical care. Even those who claim to have suffered from it have a hard time defending the concept.

The point is, intelligent people in the adult industry need to start calling out so-called "experts" who blame society's ills on "porn addiction" or "sex addiction" or they and the rest of the industry will fall victim to lowlifes like Castro who think they can find some small measure of excuse for their horrendous acts simply by claiming to have been "addicted to porn."

WORLD'S 'HOTTEST' PORN STAR GIVES LIFE TO GOD

Once named by Maxim as one of the hottest porn stars in the world, Jenna Presley performed in more than 275 pornographic films, stripped for money, sold her body in prostitution, abused drugs and even tried to kill herself – but now the young brunette stunner says she has found her true calling in life.

“Thank you, Jesus! I found Him, I’m home!” she declared, announcing that she has become a born-again Christian.

Presley, 26, whose real name is Brittni Ruiz, said, “It’s been a long seven-year journey of porn, prostitution, stripping, drugs, alcohol and several failed suicide attempts.”

Ruiz, who struggled with anorexia in high school, was reportedly raped when she was 14 years old.

Where is our nation going wrong? Americans’ traditional sexual morality has been violently subverted. In her hit book, “Sexual Sabotage,” Dr. Judith Reisman explains why we can and must repudiate soul-and-body-destroying sexual anarchy.

At the young age of 15, she began a career as a topless dancer in Mexico.

By 18, she performed in X-rated hardcore movies, shooting two and three sex scenes a day for $900 each while she was in college. She won numerous top industry awards for her work.

In an interview with Adult FYI, Ruiz said producers told her she was beautiful.

Upon filming her first sex scene, she recalled, “I felt so loved that day because I was put in hair and makeup. I was told I was beautiful. I was going to be a star.”

She said they made her work relentlessly because she had a very young look. The producers dressed her in children’s clothing and pigtails.

“I already looked like I was 12,” she recalled, adding, “It’s disgusting how they can portray you as a little girl. It’s complete perversion.”

But the industry began to have a devastating impact on her.

“It left me feeling drained,” she said. “I was so robotic, I was like a rubber Barbie doll. I had no emotions. … I was no longer Brittni. I became Jenna Presley. I had an alter ego.”

“It left me feeling drained,” she said. “I was so robotic, I was like a rubber Barbie doll. I had no emotions. … I was no longer Brittni. I became Jenna Presley. I had an alter ego.”

So Ruiz turned to drugs to numb her pain.

Then she attended a church in San Diego and met a man. They began dating, but he was beaten to death in front of her at a Las Panchos restaurant by members of a motor cycle gang.

“He got murdered, stabbed in front of me,” she said.

The trauma of the incident derailed her faith, and Ruiz began abusing drugs again and tried to kill herself.

Then XXX Church, an outreach ministry that focuses on helping people leave the porn industry and fight porn addictions, found Ruiz at a porn convention. The XXX Church distributed hundreds of Bibles and declared, “Jesus loves porn stars.”

Ruiz filmed her last sex scene in November 2012. She gave her life to God this year and left the industry. She now works for a limousine company.

“It was seven long years,” she told Adult FYI. “I hated what I was doing, but I wondered what I would do next.”

Looking back, Ruiz recalled, “I never found love in my life and was looking for it in all the wrong places. … I have finally encountered the unconditional love of God, and I will never go back.”

The Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act (MCSIA) of 1999 requires a CDL holder to be disqualified from operating a CMV if the CDL holder has been convicted of certain types of moving violations in their personal vehicles.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

If your privelege to operate your personal vehicle is revoked, cancelled, or suspended due to violations or Traffic Control laws (other than parking violations) you will also lose your CDL Privileges.

If your privelege to operate a motor vehicle is revoked, cancelled, or suspended due to alcohol, controlled substance or Felony Violations, you will lose your CDL for 1 year. If you are convicted of a 2nd violation in your personal vehicle you will lose your CDL for life. Now remember the BAC for a CMV Operator is half of what it is for you at 0.04.

There are other Federal and State rules that affect drivers operating CMV's in all states. Among them are:

1) You cannot have more than one license. If you break this rule, a court may fine you up to $5,000 or put you in jail, keep your home state license and return any others.

2) You must notify your employer within 30 days of Conviction of any traffic violations (except parking). This is True no matter what type of Vehicle you were driving.

3) You must notify your motor vehicle licensing agency within 30 days if you are convicted in any other jurisdiction of any other traffic violation (except parking). This is True no matter what type of vehicle you were driving.

4) You must notify your employer within 2 business days if your license is suspended, revoked, cancelled or if you are disqualified from driving.

5) You must give your employer information on all driving jobs you have held for the past 10 years

6) Noone can drive a CMV without a CDL. A court may fine you up to $5,000 or put you in Jail for breaking this rule.

I left High School and Got my GED and went to college for Criminal Justice but, I eventually found myself being a Steering Wheel Holder. Graduating Trucking School was a Great Accomplishment. Truck Driving School only teaches you enough to pass your CDL Exam and costs between $2,000 to $5,000 plus meals depending on where you go to school. My personal advise is to go to a company that pays for it and pay your dues there. There's a lot of Room for Advancement but you gotta start at the bottom.

Here's some of what you will need to know just to pass your CDL Exam.
In most states to be classified as a drunk driver is 0.08 like in my home state of Tennessee. That's not so for anyone that operates a CMV (Commercial Motor Vehicle). Whether you are in a CMV or your personal vehicle is 0.04. I personally can see while in a CMV cause that is a big ass weapon but, so is a personal vehicle but, as a driver you wont ever be treated fairly by any Governmental Agency because you are a Truck Driver. Speaking of DUI you never hear of a Truck Driver getting a 3rd or 4th DUI. A 1st Offence for at least 3 years if Occurred in a CMV that is placarded for Hazardous Materials and a minimum of 1 year for first Offence of the Following :
1)Driving a CMV with a BAC of 0.04 or higher.
2)Driving a CMV while under the Influence of alcohol
3)Driving a Vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance
4) Leaving the scene of an accident involving a CMV
5)Committing a felony involving the use of a CMV
6)Driving a CMV while CDL is suspended
7)Causing a fatality through negligent operation of a CMV
8)Refusing a BAC Test

A 2nd offence of any of the above will cost you your CDL for life. You will lose your CDL for Life if you commit a felony involving controlled substances, you will be put out of service for 24 hours if you have any detectable amount of alcohol under 0.04%.

The Evil Psychology Behind A Cops Uniform And Badge. The Stanford Prison Experiment Revisited

By: Stompk
*****************************
          Place your AD here
*****************************

In 1971, a bizarre experiment funded by the US Navy, and carried out in the basement of Stanford U, showed exactly how quickly normal, everyday people can quickly turn into psychotic creeps, just because they are given authority over others. But one of the major findings of the experiment was the effect of the uniform, and in the experiment, a baton and handcuffs.
*****************************
            Place your AD here
*****************************

The researchers set up a mock prison in the basement of Standford University’s psychology building, and then selected 24 undergraduate students to play the roles of both prisoners and guards. The participants were selected from a larger group of 70 volunteers because they had no criminal background, lacked psychological issues and had no major medical conditions. The volunteers agreed to participate for a one- to two-week period in exchange for $15 a day.
*****************************
            Place Your AD Here
*****************************
While the Stanford Prison Experiment was originally slated to last 14 days, it had to be stopped after just six days due to what was happening to the student participants. The guards became abusive and the prisoners began to show signs of extreme stress and anxiety.
*****************************
          Place your AD here
*****************************
While the prisoners and guards were allowed to interact in any way they wanted, the interactions were generally hostile or even dehumanizing. The guards began to behave in ways that were aggressive and abusive toward the prisoners, while the prisoners became passive and depressed. Five of the prisoners began to experience such severe negative emotions, including crying and acute anxiety, that they had to be released from the study early.

The more America is moved towards a police state, the more aggressive, and deadly the police will become, just like the Stanford Experiment showed. And the more citizens will break down psychologically and do things they wouldn’t normally due, because no one likes to be pushed into a corner..
*****************************
          Place your AD Here
*****************************
It’s time that the citizens wake up to this intentional psychological agenda by the people we call “authorities”, and reign in their “authority”, and remind them that they serve us. Cops need to take a look at themselves, and seriously question why they wanted to become cops in the first place, and ask themselves if they have become abusive bullies, just like in the Stanford experiment.

I don’t know, maybe we should make the cops wear white, and take away their fancy, expensive black unmarked cars, and take away their armored vehicles, because if we let this go any further, we too will become like the prisoners in the Stanford Experiment, ya know what I mean?

The destruction of Barack Obama part 2

devoid of genuine love, compassion, empathy and sympathy.

This is another reason why the adult Obama is so violent, both internationally and even domestically. As Obama oversees the increasing militarization of US society and the systematic dismantling of the social contract - the removal of centuries-old constitutional protections and the ongoing encroachments on human rights and civil liberties (including those which protected American citizens from arbitrary detention or execution by their own government), the dramatic expansion of poverty and homelessness, the spying on fellow Americans, the ongoing consolidation of predatory corporate governance - we are simply witnessing the logical outcome of the violence he suffered as a child.

At a personal level, we must understand why Barack Obama is violent and support him to find the courage to travel the journey of emotional healing because, like all perpetrators of violence, he was terrorised and brutalised as a child. At a political level, those of us committed to ending human violence must nonviolently resist his killing and his exploitation. There is a better world for all of us but violence by anyone, for any purpose - even when referred to as 'punishment' - cannot bring it forth.

The Destruction Of Barack Obama

y Robert J. Burrowes

Some people have been surprised or disappointed by certain decisions of President Barack Obama. His war-making, his use of illegal drone strikes, his failure to close Guantanamo, his failure to genuinely help those ordinary Americans who voted him into office, and even his pursuit of whistleblowers like Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden have all raised concerns among those with the audacity to hope that he would be different.

But there is no reason for surprise. Obama told us all about himself in his autobiography 'Dreams From My Father'. Most of us just chose not to listen and to then analyse the significance of what he told us.

It takes someone with a particular psychological profile to kill and exploit people. See 'Why Violence?' Most of us cannot kill: we respond to our conscience or feelings such as empathy, sympathy, compassion or even the fear of our guilt or shame if we know our actions will cause harm to others. What happened to Barack Obama that makes him so violent? Let us analyse what he told us now.

In his book Obama describes his childhood. This includes, for example, explicit reference to his violent maternal grandfather as well as key behavioural descriptions of himself in contexts that reveal his emotional state, even if this was, and still is, suppressed below his own conscious awareness. In essence, the book contains a largely delusional account of his early life, reflecting his effort to leave his past behind without dealing with the effects of the violence he suffered.

One incident he describes clearly reveals his justified but unexpressed fury at his father for abandoning him. Because this fury was suppressed, it left young Barack with a gaping hole in his sense of self-worth: he wasn't worthy of his father's time, attention and love. Moreover, because he was unable either to prevent his abandonment by his father (because his love, as a baby, for his father was insufficient to bond his father to him) or to express his feelings (which would usually include fear, pain and sadness in addition to his obvious anger) about this abandonment, he acquired a deep sense of powerlessness and a large measure of self-hatred too. However, given the extraordinary unpleasantness of these feelings and without support and preferably encouragement to feel them, he unconsciously suppressed his awareness of these as well. But they live in him still.

His book makes it clear that it was his mother who was primarily responsible for 'teaching' young Barack to suppress his awareness of his feelings. She didn't comprehend her child's need to feel the fear raised by his father's abandonment, to cry about it and to get angry about it (perhaps by having a series of 'tantrums') because listening to his feelings frightened her: listening might trigger equivalent feelings in herself (and, as a child, she had been scared into suppressing her awareness of her feelings too). So she scared the young Barack into not having these feelings by, for example, contradicting his perceptions of his father and offering justifications for his father's behaviour.

His mother didn't understand the enormous healing power of crying when you feel sad, of consciously feeling scared when something frightening happens to you and of expressing one's legitimate anger when one has been 'done over'. Barack had been abandoned! How would you feel? She didn't understand that evolution intended us to have feelings partly to guide us and partly as a 'safety release valve' so that we can move on from trauma to lead a productive and fulfilling life. Unfortunately, by suppressing his awareness of his feelings (even though the feelings themselves cannot be suppressed out of existence) throughout his childhood and in adult life, they became deeply embedded in his unconscious and play the major role in generating his now-warped behaviours without him even knowing it.

Another incident his book describes occurred after an older boy threw a rock at the young Barack; he powerlessly complained to his stepfather 'It wasn't fair'. This incident confirms that the boy had been terrorised into suppressing his awareness of his anger: the anger that evolution intended would tell him that this behaviour by his assailant was not just unfair - it was an unprovoked, outrageous and violent assault; the anger that would enable him to defend himself powerfully (primarily by showing his anger) against such assaults, thus reducing the likelihood of their repetition; and the anger that would also tell him how to change his behaviour in future so that such assaults were less likely. Why is this important?

Because the young Barack had already learned to suppress his justified fear of, and anger at, the abuse of people who were supposed to love him (particularly his father and mother) and of whom he was (unconsciously) terrified (such as his maternal grandfather), he learned to project his own terror, self-hatred and anger onto other people and groups of whom he is not actually afraid ('terrorists' in foreign countries, prisoners at Guantanamo, US citizens), and to use violence to control their behaviour instead. This enables him to regain his desired, but delusionary, sense of 'having control'.

Equally instructive is Obama's stepfather's response to this incident. Rather than listen to the young Barack's feelings about the attack, including its obvious injustice, so that he could rebuild his sense of self-esteem, develop his sense of personal power, and learn skills and develop capacities for dealing with conflict nonviolently, his stepfather explicitly taught him to use violence, by giving him boxing lessons, in 'self-defense'. As a result of this and other experience, Obama has a delusional belief in the effectiveness and morality of violence (perceived as 'self-defense') whenever it is used by the United States while believing hypocritically that it 'wasn't fair' when used by 'terrorists': he has no capacity to perceive the dysfunctional and immoral outcomes of using violence in any context.

Moreover, because the young Barack's suppressed anger was also warped by the fear and pain he experienced as a result of the violence he suffered as a child, he now acts vindictively towards people who have the courage to tell the truth, such as Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden. Because he lacks the courage to act on the truth himself, and people such as Manning and Snowden expose the contradiction between how he wants to be perceived (both by himself and others), and how he actually is, he now inflicts unnecessary and/or excessive violence on those who have the courage to do what his own fear prevents him from doing. For Obama, the truth of Manning and Snowden is, literally, terrifying and he will go to great lengths to silence it.

In another incident during his life in Indonesia, Obama mentions his mother's generosity in giving money to beggars: a generosity which the young Barack copied despite 'the few coins' in his possession. However, his stepfather regarded this behaviour as 'endearing but silly': he encouraged the boy to ignore beggars and 'make sure you don't end up on the street yourself'. Given Obama's later work as a community organiser, in which he apparently displayed concern for those who were 'less fortunate', his subsequent behaviour as president, in which he has overseen the continuing impoverishment of working and middle class Americans, appears inconsistent. How can we account for this?

The adult Obama lacks integrity: his mind is not integrated in such a way that memories, thoughts, feelings and conscience function seamlessly to drive his behaviour in a consistent direction. And this is why he is such a useful tool of those corporate elites who selected him to govern the United States. Like most people who (unconsciously) feel unloved (an outcome of the fact that loving his father didn't gain him love in return), he now has the unconscious desire to please and to gain approval. And Obama wants this approval from his corporate masters (not merely American voters); it's not love but it's better than nothing. In turn, he has the pleasant face and oratory which they can use to both mask and 'sell' their ruthless exploitation of the people of America and elsewhere around the world, including when he must lie outright to do so (as he did when he denied that the NSA spies on US citizens).

Obama makes it clear that his mother wanted him to have 'values'. What his mother, like most parents, did not realize is that socially positive values are deeply anchored in certain emotions and that these emotions and the values they generate can only emerge as a result of childhood experience (not including lectures and admonishments from adults). The reason that the adult Obama has no conscience and feels little or no love, compassion, empathy and/or sympathy for the victims of his government's violence is simply the logical outcome of his own childhood which was largely
