There is apologies in regard to this post and your weekly Thursday espresso shot. My bones were a bit rattled on Sunday morning, which eventually graduated from shaking my person in the physical sense to the mental sense. If my posts turn out to parallel a sidestep of a Luis Buñuel creation, it's because a haze of daze is still hovering around my head. Deciding to go with this route could lead to repercussions. Oftentimes there are serious consequences of car accidents, and it is fortunate to say that no one was injured the other day, just vehicles.
Technological Evolution
Technology has changed the way we do the most significant and mundane things in life. Here's a quick snapshot of a few telling examples.
The Today Show in 1994 was a lot different than it is "today." A short, infamous clip of three hosts baffled by everything having to do with "the internet" is extremely laughable now in the "age of online." Back then, it was Greek to people; now, it's a universal language.

"Welcome to nowhere"
A disheveled man in a brown suit stands poised in the dark. He hits a golf ball into a field of fog or maybe a sandstorm, backlit by the headlights of his automobile. Pausing before teeing up a second ball, the man stops as if struck by an idea. He fingers the golf ball, rushes to his car and speeds away. The suit, the car and the lower thirds tell us it's July 1943 - 766 days before Hiroshima.

According to AllthingsCK.com the wearable tech industry is set to explode 1,000% over the next 2 years! The forecast includes light up clothing for when no one looks at you in the night club, Google contact lenses so you can freak people out with your "knowledge" like a Bond super-villain, man bras that cost an arm and a leg and calculate how fast your heart is beating (right?), jackets with GPSs that zap you if you make a wrong turn and tell everyone which dumpster your jacket is in after you've been kidnapped, and printed make-up for when going to the store or ordering it online is just out of the question.

Outlaws Have More Fun
through Saturday, July 26
Covey Theatre Company's summertime mounting of Bonnie and Clyde (at the Mulroy Civic Center's BeVard Community Room through Saturday, July 26) is an extremely gutsy choice, given that the Broadway show opened and closed during December 2011. Yet director Garrett Heater clearly had faith in the work, notably its score by Frank Wildhorn, the popular composer best known for The Civil War (performed in June during the District Festival) and Jekyll & Hyde. The trick to adapting this musical, however, comes with ignoring that long shadow cast by director Arthur Penn's trend-setting 1967 film version, with its ample star power (provided by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway) and then shocking levels of silver-screen violence.
Counterfeit Comedy
running through Aug. 2
The criminal in Catch Me If You Can isn't packing lead, he instead robbed banks the easier way, through forged checks and stolen identities. Director Steven Spielberg's 2002 movie introduced audiences to the unbelievable yet true adventures of Frank W. Abagnale Jr., a con man extraordinaire played with cherubic yet cunning innocence by Leonardo DiCaprio. And what was fun at the movies manages to also deliver its zippy goods in the musical stage version from Central New York Playhouse (running through Aug. 2).

Loving the Silent Tears, press notes state, "will take the audience on a cultural journey across six continents and 16 countries, to tell a story about humanity's search for inner peace and happiness."
The evening, which also features a 30-member dancing ensemble, is directed by Tony nominee Vincent Paterson with choreography by Bonnie Story, set design by John Iacovelli and costume design by Sharell Martin.
The performance commemorates the 19th anniversary of Supreme Master Ching Hai Day honoring the values of philanthropy and peace. A free pre-show art exhibition at the venue will feature Supreme Master Ching Hai's creative works.

PITTSBURGH — U.S. Rep. Mark Critz has spent much of his two-plus years in Congress fighting to keep the seat he won in a special election after his former boss, Democratic powerhouse John Murtha, died in office in 2010.
Now he's fighting to keep the seat in a redrawn western Pennsylvania district that tends to vote Republican despite containing a slim majority of registered Democrats, against a candidate strongly backed by the national GOP and conservative groups, Keith Rothfus.
The race is close enough that the national parties and independent political action committees have been running ads in heavy rotation on Pittsburgh-area TV stations.
The ads favoring Critz have stressed his more conservative beliefs: he's gotten the NRA endorsement in the race; his pro-military views (his former boss, Murtha, was the powerful chairman of the Defense Appropriations subcommittee), and his anti-abortion stance.
Rothfus scoffs at the last label, noting Critz received a 60 percent rating from the National Right to Life group. "When I was in school, 60 percent was an F," Rothfus said.
Critz noted he's voted to end federal funding to Planned Parenthood, though he first voted against a similar bill. Both were defeated in the Senate. Rothfus counters that Critz's backing of the federal health care overhaul undercuts Critz's anti-abortion claims.
For his part, Critz slams Rothfus' support of the budget plan put forth by Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan and its call for altering Medicare by offering it as one of several options in the future.
Rothfus counters that the Ryan plan doesn't end Medicare — as Critz and some Democrats claim — but is meant to save it from going bankrupt. Rothfus noted the claim by Democrats that voting for Ryan's plan would "end Medicare" was labeled last year as the "lie of the year" by the political fact-checking website PolitiFact.
Despite the sniping at each other, both Critz and Rothfus are ideal candidates for the relatively conservative 12th District, said Jon Delano, a veteran western Pennsylvania political analyst and reporter for KDKA-TV. Their biggest differences are on issues of free trade, Medicare and the health care overhaul.
As to the other rhetoric, Delano said the candidates are doing what politicians have always done — highlighting their differences so the public will seem to have a clearer choice.
"But unlike businesses that offer a product or service that are bound by truth-in-advertising laws, there is no such rule in politics," Delano said.
The new 12th District, created by Republican-controlled redistricting, stretches to the Ohio border. It's 52 percent Democrat by voter registration totals "but Republicans traditionally win here," said Delano.
He pointed to President Barack Obama's loss by 9 percentage points in the 2008 election in the portions of six southwestern Pennsylvania counties that now make up the district.
Critz, a former aide to Murtha, had won his seat in a special election to fill Murtha's remaining term in May 2010 and won a new-two year term that November, both times against an upset-minded tea party candidate, Tim Burns. Critz beat Burns in the general election by less than 1 percent of the vote.
"This is my fourth race in two years," Critz said. "It seems like at every turn the Republicans are trying to take this seat."
Now, it's Rothfus' turn.
In 2010, Rothfus, a corporate attorney from the Pittsburgh suburbs who had also worked for President George W. Bush's Department of Homeland Security, won the Republican nomination in the 4th District and narrowly lost to U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire.
Since then, the 4th district was folded into Critz's 12th, and added portions of Beaver and Lawrence counties.
The redistricting forced the incumbents Critz and Altmire to run against each other in the May primary, and Critz eked out a win, 51 to 49 percent.

Northern Plains
This region extends just south of Edmonton north to Fort McMurray and from the Northwest Alberta area extending into western Saskatchewan. Over most of the region, both sweet and sour natural gas reserves are produced from numerous productive horizons at depths up to approximately 1,500 meters. In the southwest portion of the region, NGLs and light crude oil are also encountered at slightly greater depths. The region continues to be one of the Company's largest natural gas producing regions.
Natural gas in this region is produced from shallow, low-risk, multi-zone prospects and more recently from the Horseshoe Canyon coal bed methane. The Company targets low-risk exploration and development opportunities and plans to expand its commercial Horseshoe Canyon coal bed methane project. Evaluation of the potential production of coal bed methane from the Mannville coals commenced in 2006 with the drilling of three horizontal wells. The three well pilot was deemed not commercial and the wells were suspended in 2008.
Southern Plains
The Southern Plains area is principally located south of the Northern Plains area to the United States border and extending into western Saskatchewan.
Reserves of natural gas, condensate and light gravity crude oil are contained in numerous productive horizons at depths up to 2,300 meters. Unlike the Company's other three natural gas producing regions, which have areas with limited or winter access only, drilling can take place in this region throughout the year. It is economic to drill shallow wells with reduced well spacings in this region despite having smaller overall reserves and lower productivity per well since they achieve a favourable rate of return on capital employed with low drilling costs and long life reserves. The Company's extensive shallow gas assets in this region were augmented by the 2006 acquisition of Anadarko Canada Corporation.
The Company maintains a large inventory of drillable locations on its land base in this region. This region is one of the more mature regions of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and requires continual operational cost control through efficient utilization of existing facilities, flexible infrastructure design and consolidation of interests where appropriate.

Borough Council decided it will participate in a study into regionalization of police forces in the area at its special Monday meeting.
Among other concerns that stem from a drought of solid figures and information about the proposed regional police force, council members agreed to permit the study only if it was at no cost to the borough. Just how much more they will need from taxpayers to support the proposed 24/7 law enforcement, however, is already weighing on their minds.
"I always base these things on my neighbors – can they afford this?" said newly appointed Mayor Don Hudson.
Hudson acknowledged that there will be no grant money put toward the consolidation process.
The plan would create the 34th regional police force in the state, serving Summerhill Township, South Fork Borough and Adams Township. Six years ago, this same project was examined for feasibility but ultimately shelved due to waning interest from many participating communities. Last week, at a meeting of the Forest Hills Regional Alliance, it was reopened.
"When it happened before, we were 100 percent behind it," said Richard Vivian, council vice president. "And then, for some reason, we ended up being the only municipality (that was still interested)."
Aside from a general wariness, council members said they could foresee issues like salaries and union contracts gumming up the works. Both Adams and Summerhill townships have unionized police forces that would require a unanimous vote to abolish – provided that needs to happen to move forward. The newly formed regional force could, however, unionize again if they wish.
"I have questions like: How much per capita? How's salary going to break down?" said Vivian. "The only fair way to do it is by population."
And with the quiet town's population hovering in the low thousands, council President Richard Frazer was aware the borough could be getting the worst end of the deal.
"We're cutting our own throats when we say that," he said. "Because our population is going down and this is not a rich town."
Currently, South Fork residents pay $70 each in yearly taxes for the police they have – one full-time officer and one part-time officer.
Hudson said, before the resolution was passed to allow the study, that he feels residents will likely be paying "dearly" for 24/7 police service.

Don Lechlitner has been farming his whole life. At 63 years old, he's been through a lot of harvests.
The one he saw Friday was special.
Lechlitner lives along C.R. 27 north of Goshen. He was working on one of his semi trucks a couple of weeks ago getting ready for harvest. Lechlitner fell off a ladder and, in his recollection, "hit the ground pretty hard" — hard enough to break four ribs and his pelvis.
"I'm getting around with a walker, but I'm not able to get much accomplished in a day," he said.
Enter the local farming community.
Fifteen to 20 farmers gathered Friday to harvest close to 250 acres of beans for Lechlitner. Jefferson Township farmer Dwayne Bontrager said 10 combines, nine trucks and around four grain carts would be part of the effort.
Leaning on his walker, Lechlitner watched as work progressed in a field southwest of the intersection at C.R.s 27 and 20. He chatted with friends and neighbors while others manned the machines harvesting the beans.
"It's just awesome," Lechlitner said earlier that day. "I've been on the other end of it a couple times, helping other people out. There comes a time when we have to accept help as well."
"...It's just very humbling," he continued. "To think people would let their own work go to do your's. That's the way our farmers are. That's the way our community is."

Theatre Of FearTuesday 29 July - Saturday 2 August - 7.45pm
An evening of classic tales, reliving the spirit of Grand-Guignol, the infamous turn-of-the-century Parisian theatre that captivated and terrified audiences with its tales of the macabre, of mystery, suspense, and horror… and of bawdy comedy. A typical Grand-Guignol evening consisted of several plays, and our production is no exception. There will be four short plays, including the psychologically creepy The Kiss of Blood and the spouse-swapping vulgarity of Doing the Deed.
The genre has inspired a wide range of drama, from Hammer Horror to Tales of the Unexpected and The League of Gentlemen. Now, come and experience the original, as we aim to recreate the gruesome and lewd atmosphere of Grand-Guignol – although, unlike the original Theatre du Grand-Guignol in 1900s Pigalle, we probably won't measure the success of the evening by the number of people who faint during the performance!

SylviaTuesday 23 - Saturday 27 September - 7.45pm
Greg and Kate have been married for twenty odd years, their lives have changed, the children have left home and they have moved back from the suburbs to Manhattan and city life. They are reacting to their new lives in very different ways. Kate is excited at the prospect of her career finally taking off. Greg however is having a "male menopausal" moment and is finding his job deeply unsatisfying.
Along comes Sylvia, a vivacious stray dog Greg finds in the park (or perhaps she finds him) on an afternoon when he should be at work. His life takes on new meaning. He takes Sylvia home to the smart New York apartment where he and Kate live. Kate is less than enthralled by Sylvia and demands that Greg gets rid of the dog, but Greg is smitten. Sylvia plays up to him for all she is worth, delighted to find a new home. Kate's place in Greg's affections is threatened and she determines to get rid of Sylvia. Who will Greg chose?

LAWRENCE – A Lawrence gang member faces up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to federal charges of illegally possessing a firearm and 84 rounds of ammunition.
Orlando Valle, 26, pleaded guilty Tuesday to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition before U.S. District Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton. The maximum sentence under the statute is 10 years in prison, to be followed by up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for April 30, 2013.
On Nov. 21, 2011, troopers with the Massachusetts State Police, detectives with the Lawrence Police Department, and an agent from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives went to 282 Farnham Street in Lawrence to arrest Valle on an outstanding warrant. In the process of arresting Valle, one of the officers saw a black handgun on a heater in the defendant's bedroom.
Lawrence detectives obtained a search warrant and seized a .22 caliber firearm; 84 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition; mail, bills, and other documents showing Valle lived in the apartment; a written constitution for the Immortal Outlaws street gang; and several cellular telephones.
Detectives later recovered several photographs of Valle holding firearms, including a photograph of Valle holding what appeared to be the gun found in his bedroom. The Lawrence Police Department had previously identified Valle as a member of the Immortal Outlaws, a violent street gang operating in Lawrence and elsewhere.
The case against Valle commenced with state charges brought by Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett following Valle's arrest in Lawrence and was then referred for federal prosecution.
This case was one of several federal prosecutions brought in the past year targeting violent crime in Lawrence committed by gang members, armed kidnapping and home invasion crews, large-scale drug traffickers, and others. These cases have been investigated by a working group of federal and state law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, ATF, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Massachusetts State Police, the Lawrence Police Department, and others.

PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh's largest union is backing James Calnon for mayor, setting off an angry reaction from its former president.
"What?" Denise Nephew, former president of the American Federation of State County Municipal Employees Local 788, loudly exclaimed when she was told about that.
"We've never endorsed a candidate before. This isn't right."
Union President Chris Bleaux said the union's Executive Board decided to back Calnon at its Oct. 8 meeting. He said the board members felt that Calnon has treated them fairly during his time as a councilor and mayor pro tem.
He noted that Calnon, as a member of the city's Health Insurance Task Force, has always been open and honest with union leaders.
"That's all we ask for," Bleaux said.
"We are not asking him to throw the checkbook at us."
Calnon, the Ward 4 councilor, is running for mayor as the Republican and Independence Party candidate. Also running are Ward 2 Councilor Mark Tiffer, as a Democrat, and independent candidate Chris Rosenquest.
Calnon has served as mayor pro tem under Republican Mayor Donald Kasprzak and has worked closely with him since he joined the council in 2007.
Kasprzak has been in numerous public battles with Nephew over issues involving union work duties, health insurance co-payments and salaries.
Nephew was voted out as union president in April of 2012 when Bleaux was elected.
She was not happy to hear that the union was endorsing Calnon, who often shares similar views on issues with Kasprzak.
"He (Bleaux) is just making decisions on his own," she said.
"He never notified anybody that this was happening. And in the past, he was one of the people who didn't want to endorse anybody."
Nephew said there are many in the union who, like her, support Tiffer and other Democratic candidates for council seats.

EDMONTON - Edmonton continues to be a high-powered magnet for retailers, attracted to its fast-growing population and big-spending ways.
West Edmonton Mall announced Wednesday five new tenants will be opening their first Edmonton, Alberta or western Canadian location at the mall in 2014. They are:
Brandy Melville
The women's fashion retailer is opening its only store between Toronto and Vancouver in June.
Jack & Jones
The menswear, accessories and footwear company opens its first Edmonton location in May.
Kate Spade
The designer brand launches in Western Canada with a handbag, clothing, jewelry and shoe store in the summer.
Ann Taylor Loft
Also this summer, Ann Taylor Loft opens its first Alberta location, offering versatile, accessible and affordable women's fashion.
The youth-oriented sports footwear and apparel company opens for the first time in Edmonton this spring.
Other new-to-Edmonton stores that have already opened recently include: women's fashion retailer DKNY, Stuart Weitzman footwear, Tiffany & Co. jewellers and Tumi, a luxury travel, business and lifestyle accessory store.
In northeast Edmonton, well-known hunting, fishing, and camping outfitter Cabela's is opening its second local store at Manning Town Centre on May 22.
Statistics Canada reported in March that retail sales in Alberta reached a record $6.4 billion in January — the biggest annual gain of any province.

DERRY — The Red Star Twirlers will hit the stage at the Stockbridge Theatre at Pinkerton Academy to kick off Fourth of July week.
The show is set for June 30 at 7 p.m. and features a large cast of twirlers of all ages presenting routines to favorite Broadway tunes and Disney favorites.
Director Gina Hutchinson said the show will put all ages of talented twirlers in the spotlight.
"This is truly a production for all ages and a great way to kick off the Fourth of July week," she said.
The show includes video of the twirlers marching up Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C., during their recent trip to the nation's capital to celebrate Memorial Day.
Red Stars visited Arlington National Cemetery and placed flowers on the graves of five New Hampshire soldiers who lost their lives in the Iraq/Afghanistan wars.
Many Red Star alumni will grace the Stockbridge stage, including Alyssa McLaughlin, Kaleigh McIver and Jacquelyn Peaslee.
Seniors Jessica Avelar of Nashua, Katherine Carlson of Derry and Nicole Drake of Bedford will perform, then bid farewell to the team as they prepare to head off to college in the fall.

Christmas movies are a tradition in many homes, including mine. Everyone loves the classics like A Miracle on 34th Street, The Bishop's Wife, It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story and even National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
I, however, like my Christmas movies with a side of screwball, a merry measure of mayhem…sometimes even a heaping of horror.
In the next few installments of this blog, I'll be sharing my 25 Days of Christmas Movies; I hope you'll find a new tradition in the mix. Please note that some of these movies aren't exactly about Christmas, but may feature Christmas as a plot device or simply a backdrop.
1. Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
Have you ever wondered if Martha Stewart really can't cook, or actually can't make Christmas wreaths from dental floss and chopsticks? Well, that's the secret of the wartime doyenne of domesticity, Elizabeth Lane (Barbara Stanwyck) Not only can she not cook, she doesn't have a husband, a baby or a country home in Connecticut…all of which figure prominently in her successful magazine column.
When a war hero is given the prize of a holiday weekend with said family, panic and hilarity follow. Houses are rented, babies are borrowed, and love can't help but blossom.
With the charming Dennis Morgan, a rare turn by Sydney Greenstreet as a "good guy" and the always funny S.Z "Cuddles" Sakall
"Eet is so romantic, eet geeves me peemples all over da goose"
Now Showing: December 10th at 12:30 AM on AMC
2. I'll Be Seeing You (1944)
Two lonely people – a soldier (Joseph Cotton) and a woman (Ginger Rogers) – each with enough baggage to fill the overhead bins on a SST meet on a train bound for the same town. They find peace, redemption and hope with the help of a stellar cast that includes Shirley Temple (in one of her first "grown up" roles), Spring Byington and a very young John Derek. The soundtrack includes the title song, which became a huge hit that year.
"It's just the dreaming that counts. Nobody gets exactly what he wants out of life. One of the first things you learn is to make compromises with your dreams."
Now Showing: January 3rd, at 12:30 AM on TCM
3. Holiday Affair (1949)
A young widow (Janet Leigh) has to choose between two holiday–time suitors. As the choices are Robert Mitchum and Wendell Corey, the ultimate winner is obvious without even having seen the film.
What makes the movie so charming is Mitchum (in one of his early rare romantic roles, which was undertaken in an attempt to rebuild his reputation after the notorious bust for marijuana possession in 1948), as well as one of the most natural and understated performances by a child actor…ever. Gordon Gebert, as Janet Leigh's young son, is a marvel.
"And I want a girl that'll drop everything and run to me, no matter what the score is."
Now Showing: December 20th at 8:00 PM on TCM

4. The Ref (1994)
In a variation on the "Ransom of Red Chief" theme, a cat burglar chooses the VERY wrong house for a Christmas Eve break–in. Dennis Leary is the thief who finds himself playing marriage and family counselor to an extremely dysfunctional group that includes Kevin Spacey, Judy Davis, Christine Baranski and Glynis Johns, who (for my money) steals the show as a snotty, overbearing matriarch.
WARNING: Very naughty, extremely bad language in this film. Very. You've been warned. Seriously.
"Slipper socks…medium!"
5. Remember The Night (1940)
A prosecuting attorney takes pity on a shoplifter and brings her home for Christmas. (Wait, what?)
This is the first on–screen pairing of Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray. Four years later, they'd burn up the celluloid in Double Indemnity. That same chemistry is apparent here, but in a sweeter, more melancholy way. Written by Preston Sturges, with uber–screen matriarch Beulah Bondi (Jimmy Stewart's mom in It's A Wonderful Life), Elizabeth Patterson, and Disney voice legend Sterling Holloway. A very sweet and lovely film – definitely one of my favorites; discovering it was a blessing.
"Now there's nothing as dangerous as a square shooter. If all men were like you there wouldn't be any nice girls left"
Now Showing: December 12th at 9:45 PM on TCM
6. Holiday (1938)
After proposing to Julia Seaton (Doris Nolan), self–made iconoclast Johnny Case (Cary Grant) realizes she's rich. God only knows how it took him so long to realize this; she lives in a townhouse that looks like the First National Bank of 1%ers, but because it's Cary Grant, we'll give him a pass. Once he meets Julia's free–spirited sister Linda (Katharine Hepburn), a quandary arises.
Hepburn and Grant are stunningly gorgeous; Holiday is the 3rd of four films in which they co–starred. However, the movie is completely and utterly stolen by Lew Ayres, as the dissolute brother of Hepburn's character. Great dialogue and a display of acrobatics by Grant, who started out in show business as a stilt–walker. With Edward Everett Horton
"When I find myself in a position like this, I ask myself what would General Motors do? And then I do the opposite! "
Now Showing: February 22nd at 9:45 AM on TCM
Next up: Jimmy Stewart (no, not in that Christmas movie), and the world's worst houseguest.
And remember…friends don't let friends watch remakes of films.

Green DC Agenda - Spotlight - Climate Change
View all key Agenda commitments in Spotlight: Climate Change.
View all current successes in Spotlight: Climate Change.
The District's Climate Protection Initiative
Developing a Climate Action Plan (CAP) to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a key commitment of the Green DC Agenda. By completing a CAP, the District will join a growing number of local governments around the country taking local action to fight global climate change. The Climate Action Plan will build on the current successes in the Green DC Agenda and identify opportunities to not only improve the quality of life and the environment in the District, but to also have a measurable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The CAP will include concrete measures to reduce emissions from District Government operations and across the entire community.
Climate Action Planning
The District Government is working with ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) and is following ICLEI's Five Milestone Climate Protection methodology. The Five Milestone's are:
- Milestone One: Inventory greenhouse gas emissions
- Milestone Two: Set an emissions reductions target
- Milestone Three: Develop a plan
- Milestone Four: Implement the plan
- Milestone Five: Monitor Implementation progress
The District has completed a GHG emissions inventory for its government operations and is completing an inventory for community-wide emissions. Next, with support from ICLEI and other local experts the District will develop an emissions reduction target that is aggressive but achievable.
District Government Carbon Footprint
The GHG emissions inventory, or carbon footprint, of District Government operations covers calendar year 2006 for all possible sources of emissions including buildings and facilities, streetlights and traffic signals, vehicle fleet, wastewater facilities, and solid waste. This summary provides an overview of the inventory results; a final report will be released in June 2009. The inventory will be used by the District as a baseline for measuring progress for all existing and future GHG emission reduction activities. The inventory is an essential first step in reducing emissions, because it is not possible to manage what you can't measure.
Buildings and facilities comprise the greatest percentage of emissions resulting from District Government operations. An effective emissions reduction plan will need to comprehensively reduce energy use in buildings. Electricity consumption is the largest cause of GHG emissions.
Buildings and Facilities
The District Government has over 500 facilities in its building profile, totaling 61 percent of the District's GHG emissions. This includes police stations, fire stations, schools, maintenance facilities, courthouses, leased space, and other facilities. Buildings not only generate GHG emissions from the electricity used within the buildings, but also from the natural gas, fuel oil, and steam used to heat the buildings.
Wastewater Facilities
Treating the District's wastewater – such as stormwater from the streets and wastewater from our homes - generates GHG emissions from the electricity used to pump and treat the water in addition to generating nitrous oxide – a high global warming potential gas – during the treatment process. Wastewater treatment facilities were the second largest emitter and produced 25 percent of the Districts GHG emissions in 2006.
(The Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant receives flow from multiple jurisdictions outside the District, and the emissions figures reflect energy used to treat other jurisdictions wastewater.)
Streetlights and Traffic Signals
The lights lining our streets and the signals controlling our traffic all use electricity, and as a result all generate GHG emissions. The District has approximately 78,500 street lights and 4,000 traffic signals, which represent 7 percent of the District Government operations emissions profile.
Vehicle Fleet
To provide vital services such as police and fire protection and trash collection, the District operates approximately 6,000 vehicles, running mostly on gasoline and diesel and to a lesser extent on ethanol and compressed natural gas (CNG). This fuel use cost the District over $8 million in 2006 and comprised 7 percent of the GHG emission profile.
Solid Waste
The waste generated within District Government buildings is sent to landfills in the region. As this waste decomposes it produces methane, which is less than one percent of the District's GHG emissions profile.
Reducing Emissions
The District has already begun to take action against climate change through its Renewable Portfolio Standard, Green Building Act, home weatherization, and other programs. These first steps demonstrate that the District is committed to both conserving energy use and to developing the market for clean energy. Green building projects abound in the District, from the new Nationals Park to the LEED Silver Stoddert Elementary School. These exciting projects will set the stage for bigger and bolder measures to fight climate change.
Using the GHG inventory as a baseline, the next step will be to quantify the emissions reduction impact of the District's existing measures, such as the reductions in the vehicle fleet, improvements to building energy efficiency, and the installation of green roofs at One Judiciary Square and the Reeves Center. The emissions reduction potential of key commitments including the conversion of vehicles to alternative fuels will also be calculated. Developing the CAP will also identify additional measures that have potential to not only cut GHG emissions, but to also save money and clean the air.
What You Can Do
The District's CAP will also include resources and advice for District residents and businesses on how to reduce their energy use and carbon footprint. Greening D.C. will require collaboration between the government, business, local institutions, and residents to each do their part to reduce emissions. As a first step, residents can sign up for a free home energy audit and weatherization services (for income-qualified households) to identify how to conserve energy and reduce GHG emissions at home.

2012 NFL Draft Stock Up
Juron Criner, WR, Arizona
Criner had an excellent game against UCLA last Thursday night. Before halftime, he and quarterback Nick Foles had the game out of reach for the Bruins. They connected for three touchdowns in the first half. Two were very impressive plays by Criner. On a jump ball, he had a defensive back all over him. Criner reached around the head of the defensive back and made a tremendous catch. His concentration and hand strength to hold onto the ball was very impressive. The final score came when Criner ran a go route and flew by the defensive back to come open running through the end zone. He also had a number of other good catches to move the chains, and showed some good YAC. Criner finished the game with 10 receptions for 101 yards and three scores.
Thus far in 2011, Criner has 36 receptions for 441 yards and six touchdowns. It looks like he is solidifying his stock as potential second-round pick. Criner is a very trustworthy receiver. Foles throws balls up for grabs to him all the time, and Criner wins the matchup against defensive backs by either catching the ball or having it fall incomplete. He looks like a good possession receiver and red-zone weapon for the next level.
Sean Spence, OLB, Miami
The defensive leader for Miami had a big game this past Saturday against Georgia Tech. Spence recorded 10 tackles with a tackle for a loss, but his presence in the game was bigger than his statistics. He did a fabulous job defending the perimeter against the Yellow Jackets option rushing attack. Spence was the point man of the Miami defense that stifled a potent rushing attack. He was all over the field and constantly around the football against Georgia Tech. It was an ideal matchup for Spence to show his sideline-to-sideline speed. For the season, he has 65 tackles with 9.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks and a forced fumble. Spence is 10th in the nation in tackles per game even though he was suspended for the first game of the season.
For the next level, the 6-foot, 225-pounder is a safety/linebacker tweener. He has fabulous instincts and play recognition to get himself in position to make tackles. Spence entered the game as a mid to late third-rounder, and after this performance his stock should go towards the top of the third round and maybe sneak into round two.
Chris Polk, RB, Washington
The junior running back Polk was one of the few players to show up and produce a good game against Stanford. He ran for 144 yards on 15 carries with two touchdowns. Polk broke off two long touchdown runs against a very good defense. He had scores from 46 and 61 yards in the game. Polk is bell cow running back, but against the Cardinal he showed the speed to score from long distances and not get caught from behind.
Polk is averaging 5.8 yards per carry this season. He has totaled 872 yards and five touchdowns in seven games. In six games this season, Polk has gone over 100 yards rushing. He also has 14 receptions for 149 yards and two scores. Polk (5-11, 220) has the strength and power to get yards after contact, so him showing speed against Stanford gives NFL teams the idea that he has the complete package. Polk is also a patient runner who has made the best of less than ideal blocking. If Polk were to enter the 2012 NFL Draft, he could challenge to be a second-round pick.
Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama
Hightower had a big game this week for the Crimson Tide. He led the way for the Alabama defense to hold Tennessee to six points in the game. Hightower recorded eight tackles with a sack, two passes broken up, an interception returned 29 yards and multiple quarterback hurries on blitzes. It was a fantastic game from Alabama's junior middle linebacker.
The 6-foot-4, 260-pounder looks like he is all the way back from a knee injury. Hightower only played in four games in 2009 before being hit with that injury. Last year, he played in all 16 games, but didn't look to have the speed and explosion that he had before. In eight games this season, Hightower has 48 tackles with six tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks and one interception. He looks like a second-round pick, but is one of the top 3-4 inside linebacker prospects. The demand at the position could push his stock higher and make him a fringe first-rounder.
Dominique Davis, QB, East Carolina
Davis had been having a mixed senior season, but he had a record-setting game against Navy this week. Davis completed his first 26 pass attempts in the game. Over two games, he had a streak of 36 straight completions. That broke a record set in 2004 by California Golden Bears quarterback Aaron Rodgers. In the game, The Pirates signal caller completed 40-of-45 passes for 372 yards and two touchdowns.
For the season, Davis has completed 72 percent of his passes for 2,013 yards with 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder has some developmental talent. His accuracy is excellent, and Davis helped push his stock into early consideration on day three of the draft.
Winston Guy Jr., S, Kentucky
Guy Jr. has been a tackling machine this year for the Wildcats, and last Saturday, he kept up his strong senior season with a good game against Jacksonville State. Guy recorded 12 tackles with two passes broken up and a forced fumble. For the season, he has 79 tackles with 8.5 tackles for a loss, two passes broken up, two interceptions and a forced fumble.
Guy is seventh in the nation in tackles, one spot ahead of teammate linebacker Danny Trevathan. Guy Jr. is 18th in the nation in solo tackles, plus he is second in the nation in tackles from a defensive back. Obviously, the 6-foot-1, 216-pounder is a good run defender who fits well as the eighth man in the box. Guy is on the edge to be a second-day pick. With more strong games like he had this past week, Guy could make himself a third-rounder.
David DeCastro, G, Stanford
DeCastro had a massive game for the Cardinal against Washington. All night, he blasted open running lanes and was perfect in pass protection. On only a few plays did DeCastro match up against Huskies standout defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu, but DeCastro won all of the reps. He single blocked Ta'amu on a bull rush and stonewalled him. DeCastro turned Ta'amu and opened up a couple of running holes. DeCastro put on clinic for pulling and hitting blocks on the run. He dominated linebackers at the second level and made a number of blocks to allow touchdown runs.
Stanford ran for 446 yards against Washington. The Cardinal had four different runners get into the end zone with three ball carriers going over 90 yards rushing. DeCastro (6-5, 310) led the way with a game of pure dominance. The senior guard looks like the fourth-best draft-eligible linemen behind only Matt Kalil, Jonathan Martin, and Riley Reiff. DeCastro is equally or more dominant as a blocker, but the importance of tackles over guards helps those linemen rank ahead of DeCastro.
Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
It wouldn't be fair to have DeCastro on this list and exclude his teammate Jonathan 'Moose' Martin. The 6-foot-6, 304-pounder had a phenomenal game against Washington. He opened up a number of the running lanes for Stanford's prolific night on the ground. Martin also did a perfect job in pass protection for quarterback Andrew Luck. The Cardinal had a number of huge runs with the hole between Martin and the left guard. DeCastro would pull from right guard and the backs would find great running lanes.
Martin truly is a tenacious run blocker. Many left tackles can be tap-dancers who are good pass blockers but don't offer a lot of power to run behind. That is not the case with Martin. He is a nasty run blocker who pushes his linemen around the field. Martin did well to solidify his status as a potential top-10 pick.
2012 NFL Draft Stock Down
Levy Adcock, OT, Oklahoma State
Adcock had a quality game as a run blocker, but struggled in his pass protection of quarterback Brandon Weeden. Oklahoma State moved Adcock around from left to right tackle where he struggled in pass protection. At right tackle, he gave up a sack to Missouri defensive end Jacquies Smith. Smith fired off the snap and had Adcock on his heels. Smith got into the chest of the lineman before disengaging and flying by him to the inside to sack Weeden.
The 6-foot-6, 322-pounder does not look quick enough to be a left tackle in the NFL. If he continues to struggle at right tackle with speed rushers, it will really hurt his draft stock. Adcock looks like a plodder with heavy feet. He seems to struggle to shuffle his feet quickly and that leads him to reaching after defenders. That could translate to him giving up a lot of sacks on the next level. Adcock may have to move inside to guard because of his slow feet. Playing at guard would probably make Adcock a better a pro and disguise his weaknesses.
Isaiah Pead, RB, Cincinnati
Pead had a disappointing game against USF. His blocking wasn't very good, and he was unable to make any plays on his own. The Bulls� defense allowed a big game to quarterback Zach Collaros, and it was the same defense that allowed Pittsbugh running back Ray Graham to run for 226 yards on 26 carries. Against USF, Pead ran for 79 yards on 22 carries. He did better receiving the ball with four receptions for 48 yards including a six-yard touchdown catch on a screen pass, on which he went into the end zone untouched. The 5-foot-10, 200-pounder just didn't look like anything special running the ball against South Florida. In the 2012 NFL Draft, Pead looks like a fourth or fifth-round pick.
Alameda Ta'amu, DT, Washington
A week after being on this list for his stock going up, Ta'amu produced a poor game against Stanford which has his stock going down. He did not match up often on standout guard David DeCastro, but when Ta'amu did, he lost the reps. Losing to a potential first-rounder is not the end of the world, but beyond those plays Ta'amu had a bad game against the other linemen who are first-year starters. Often he was blocked by sophomore left guard David Yankey and senior center Sam Schwartzstein. Stanford ran all over the Washington defense and had success running up the middle at Ta'amu. On one play, he had a good bull rush that pushed Yankey into the pocket, but otherwise Ta'amu was ineffective. He was shut out on the stat sheet with zero tackles in the game.
Trumaine Johnson, CB/S, Montana
Johnson doesn't make this list for getting burned on the field. He makes the list for getting jolted off of it. Johnson was arrested early Sunday morning. The police responded to a noise complaint at 2:40 a.m. Johnson proceeded to get into a fight with the officers and the police used their stun guns to subdue Johnson and quarterback Gerald Kemp. The 6-foot-2, 197-pound Johnson has unique physical tools and consistent production in his college career. Coming from Montana, Johnson already had the question mark about his level of competition. Now this off-the-field arrest could take his stock from a second-day draft pick all the way down to a late on the third-day pick or even undrafted. There are two sides to every story, and for Johnson's draft status, he will need a good explanation to avoid having the incident from last Sunday morning drop his draft stock significantly.

Vivienne, (from anon. above you) no one is offended by her inasprition. The bonnet is very inspiring. It's really about the cultural originality and how she's displaying it. You really wouldn't know or could possibly understand how it may be offensive to other people because you're obviously not Native American. Oh, and I'm sure that any church would be offended to know that an atheist was wearing their most valued relic.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently harpmeed by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

I found The Twin, by Gerbrand Bakker, sitting on a coffee table at a writers' colony in 2009. It carried praise from J.M. Coetzee for its "restrained tenderness and laconic humor," which seemed ample justification for using it to avoid my own writing.
I finished it, weeping, a day later, and have been puzzling over its powerful hold on me ever since. I've recommended it again and again, and while I can't say it's entirely undiscovered — it won the 2010 IMPAC Dublin Award — no one I know ever seems to have heard of it.

When I was a kid, I assumed that in the future things would get better and better until we were all driving flying cars and playing badminton with space aliens on top of 500-story buildings. Frankly, I kind of counted on this happening. But now I don't assume that we'll just keep going up anymore.

Note: Wilhelm Furtwangler's last name is typically spelled with an umlaut over the 'a' character. The npr website does not support characters with umlauts over characters. A variation of Furtwangler's name without the umlaut is spelled Furtwaengler.
Wilhelm Furtwaengler's name may be hard for Americans to pronounce, but the reason this great conductor isn't so well-remembered here is that he chose to remain in Germany during WWII, though he was never a member of the Nazi Party, and was exonerated by a postwar tribunal.
