An Open Letter to John Boehner, Speaker of the House
March 11, 2014
At this point in our nation's history 'we the people' live in a condition of desperation and fear. Never in my lifetime have I seen over half our citizens in such a confused state of mind ... and I go back to FDR!
"Poor M�xico. So Far From God, So Close to The United States"
December 6, 2013
The title of this piece is most commonly associated with Mexico's first dictator, Porfirio Diaz, who ruled Mexico for decades prior to the civil war of 1910. I believe we can now plagiarize some of his words and say 'Poor America. So far from God'. I know some may disagree or even become angry, but read on before you make judgment. The following has nothing to do with a so-called ideological or political war going on in our country. It has everything to do with the spiritual war in which we find our nation's citizens at present. This is a war between good and evil. It's no more complicated than that. It's a war of natural laws (God's law) opposing secular laws (man's law). And, it's a world war, not just our nation alone. Look what we've done and what many are fighting for (and against) at present.
The Deliberate Destruction of the 'Grand Experiment' � A National Disgrace
November 2, 2012
"In confidence in question of power let no more confidence be given to man but bind them to the chains of the Constitution." Thomas Jefferson. When Jefferson made this statement he was merely reinforcing his words in the Declaration of Independence, "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations , pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security". He was talking to us folks ... "We the People"! That would make it our duty to 'throw off' our current president and at least 80% of our congress, representatives and Senators alike.
Obama taking care of his friends and donors with your money!
October 29, 2012
A couple of years ago, Obama announced a $2B 'investment' in Petrobras, a part Brazilian government/ part private investor owned energy drilling and exploration company. The company was drilling in the deep waters off the coast of Brazil and announced the discovery of possibly the largest oil find in South America. They needed funds to proceed. They are listed on the stock market for investment by private individuals worldwide. George Soros bought almost $900M dollars worth of their stock. The stock was declining in value after his purchase. Obama decided to give Petrobras $2B of your taxpayer dollars to help boost the stock price per share and hopefully bail out his number one supporter. The timing was just a coincidence?

A recipe for getting the bad taste out of your mouth - a kids view
May 17, 2012
As we all know, Art Linkletter would say ... "Kid's Say the Darndest Things". He based his early TV show on asking questions of young children and having them respond with their thoughts on what they were seeing and perceiving from their surroundings. They are the most innovative and honest of all people while they are developing their picture of life through a not yet mature mind.

Why We'll Never Go 'Green' As Our Main Source of Energy
March 20, 2012
When I state 'we' in the subject, I mean every person in every country on the entire planet. Most of my reasoning is derived from common sense and a sense of reality without an agenda. Think about it. Every time we turn on the TV news, go to the gas station, read an article in the paper, or read an opinion blog the only thing we hear about and concentrate on is the cost of gasoline, pollution of carbon fuels that are ruining our air quality and causing climate change and health problems, our near total dependence on foreign sources for this fuel, and a justification as to further 'proof' that we need to go totally green.

The Navy on Friday laid to rest the last two unknown sailors who died a century ago aboard the USS Monitor -- the famed Civil War ironclad that sank in rough seas 1862.
Among the hundreds of people who were gathered at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. was Diana Rambo.
Rambo, of Fresno, has distant familial ties to one of the sailors who died at sea.
She is believed to be an ancestor of Jacob Nicklis, who may have been one of two skeletons that was recovered from the USS Monitor's turret more than a decade ago.
Rambo's mother provided a DNA sample to the Navy in 2010, but there was no
positive identification.
In a Feb. 22 interview with KMPH, Rambo said that she was honored to be in attendance for the ceremony.
"It's very, very touching," Rambo told KMPH. "Not that we knew the relative but
just thinking about these young men that were in the civil war and what
an impact this ship had on naval warfare."

RCMP thought it was a 'gunfight'
An RCMP officer testified in the Cst. Geoff Mantler trial Wednesday that he thought he was responding to a gunfight when he received an initial dispatch call on Jan. 7, 2011.
Cst. Kyle Boffy was one of the police officers testifying in the assault trial, which started Monday in Kelowna.
Mantler, a Kelowna RCMP officer, is facing a charge of assault causing bodily harm in the arrest of Buddy Tavares on Jan. 7. Video taken that day by Kelly Hayes, a former Castanet.net reporter, shows Mantler kicking Tavares in the face as he knelt on the ground.
Boffy said on that day he was operating an unmarked vehicle, when he heard radio chatter that an individual was shooting a shotgun at an employment address on KLO Road. He immediately headed out to the nearest artery to the road and indicated he was responding, he said.
When he asked about the name of the business, he learned it was the Harvest Golf Club. As he received more updates, two other police cars came in behind him, with lights and sirens activated.
He also knew at the time his wife, Cst. Robyn Boffy, was responding. As he got closer, he learned that Mantler had located the suspect's vehicle near KLO Road and Pandosy Street.
He sped up, turned right on Pandosy. He parked his vehicle behind a pick up truck on the scene and recalled seeing the suspect was on the ground at this point.
He next remembered running up and securing a shotgun from the vehicle. It was not loaded and he locked the weapon in the trunk of his car.
As he went to the passenger side, his wife, Cst. Robyn Boffy, was either handcuffing or getting the suspect up, with Mantler nearly. The suspect was where the cab meets the box of the truck, on the ground, he said.
One of his biggest concerns as he dealt with the situation was how close bystanders were to the truck, he testified.
At the time, he recalled, a middle aged female yelling something about police brutality. He did not discuss any of this with Mantler he said.
He did see Hayes a little later, filming on his iPhone.
Crown prosecutor Will Burrows further questioned the witness about his training in dealing with such situations and the different levels of cooperation.
From cooperation, the next level is non-cooperation, for example a protester sitting in the middle of the street, then resistance, which is actually running away from an officer, where a level of force could be strikes, the witness explained..
Burrows asked the witness about RCMP footwear, and if he noticed Mantler's footwear. Boffy described it as like a patrol boot, a very thin leather boot with a more athletic sole.
In cross-examination, defence lawyer Neville McDougall asked Boffy if he was familiar with the wheel which describes different situations and the appropriate use of force, about his level of training and if he had prior experience in Code 5 arrests.
The witness described seeing a video during his training in which a state trooper was shot. The video left an impression on him.
He described a situation in Rutland, where he ordered two individuals out of a car into a snowbank.
When he was questioned about what was happening at the scene on KLO, the witness said he heard Mantler say he had the suspect's vehicle and that everything was under control and to slow down. He didn't make a mental note of anything being out of order at the time, he said.
His most distinct memory was being at the passenger side of the vehicle and leaning the passenger seat forward to get the gun.
McDougall also asked if Boffy took note of some bystanders standing near the truck, to which he responded yes.
When asked if Mantler appeared excited, the witness said he appeared somewhat elevated, but it was consistent with the situation.
In further questioning, the defence lawyer asked about his answers regarding the incident given in an earlier police statement.
The witness said during initial response he thought he was going to a workplace shooting. It sounded to me like a horror story about an employee coming in and going to town, he said. I thought it was an active shooter, to be honest when the call first came in.
McDougall asked when the officer actually stopped thinking he was going to a gunfight. The witness said when he got to the scene and saw the individual on the ground with Cst. Robyn Boffy handcuffing him.
Both defence and crown counsel showed the witness still frames from the video and asked him to identify when Tavares' hands appear to be going up and then down, as he knelt on the ground by the truck.
Boffy was also asked to describe movement in Mantler's legs leading up to the kick.
His legs appear to be stationary, the witness said, then it looks like his body is going into a forward motion with his left knee bent.
When the defence asked what the witness would have done if he was Mantler at the scene, Boffy said he did not know what he would have done, it was difficult to say.
His response to being asked if kicking the man would have been an alternative to shooting him, was yes that a strike would be preferable to using a firearm.
In earlier testimony, Cst. Robyn Boffy, Mantler's backup, described calling ambulance services because Tavares' face was bleeding, starting from his nose, she said.
She was also questioned by the defence, about her level of training in high risk vehicle stops, to which she responded she had received training.
The crown is expected to call civilian witnesses to testify in the trial on Thursday.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- In the 1950s, James Beard was a renowned cookbook author, teacher and all-around champion of American cuisine. Today, the Beard Foundation continues supporting culinary arts through programs and scholarships.
An invitation to cook at the James Beard House is a dream for many chefs. For the first time, A Spokane chef has been invited to James Beard's big stage.
Chef Jeremy Hansen of Santé Restaurant and Charcuterie will prepare a dinner at the James Beard House in August 15th. Hansen launched an online fundraiser to help pay for the dinner. He raised $10,037 with the help of 75 people.
As part of the dinner, Santé is required to pay for not only all of the food and beverages for an 80-person dinner, but is also responsible for all travel costs for everyone on the team.
Hansen also held a practice dinner for 40 guests to raise money. The menu was a replica of the one Chef Hansen and his team will prepare in New York City.
"It's like going to the major leagues or the NFL," said Hansen.
An invitation to prepare a beard foundation dinner has proven to be a stepping stone for many a chef. Therefore, when Chef Hansen received an invitation he could not believe his eyes.
"Well, I got home at like two in the morning because I was working late," said Hansen, "and I opened up the email and I read it and I was like, 'What? I can't... wait what?'"
Hansen is the first Spokane chef ever chosen for the honor. In addition, he will display the Spokane region during his dinner.
"There's such a bounty of great food to be harvested in our neighborhood," stated Hansen.
For example, the pork loin on the menu comes from Reardon's Rocky Ridge Ranch. The honey comes from right next door.
"Our neighbors raise the honey that we're taking from Five Mile," said Hansen's wife, Kate.
The salad greens are rushed straight from Spokane's Urban Eden farm. Farmers there lovingly tend to their produce -- getting it ready for the big stage.
"Obviously it's highly prestigious," said the owner of Urban Eden, Jim Schrock.
He said he used to watch James Beard on TV.
Beard House guests will also be treated to the wine that Chef Hansen fell in love with from Spokane's Overbluff Cellars.
"We actually took some out of the barrel and gave them a sneak peek and they really liked that," said Overbluff's Darby McKee.
Wine cellar employees are bottling the wine especially for Sante's James Beard dinner. Chef Hansen will gather the wine along with all the other beautiful Washington ingredients and fly them clear across the country.
"They're going to have to fly fast to New York, you know," said Schrock. "I hope they have good coolers."
"That is going to be the tricky part," added Chef Hansen with a sigh.
When it comes to taking his show on the road, there are a countless variables. Which is why Chef Hansen is hoping his recent practice dinner makes perfect.
Chef Hansen tastes everything before it makes it to a plate in order to give the Big Apple a proper bite of Spokane. Hansen said if it is not perfect, he would make it so.
The guest chef must donate the time, talent and all the ingredients since James Beard dinners are fundraisers for the foundation.
Many of Sante's Inland Northwest suppliers have graciously donated ingredients. Sante still has to pay for the flights and lodging for more than a dozen team members.

While we specialize in mounting media articles, we are happy to preserve any piece of your professional or personal history.
Have an idea that's not listed? Don't hesitate to ask us!
Crystaline is our latest line of custom made acrylic plaques and they are now available with a Black background. Each Crystaline plaque is made from 1/4" thick cast acrylic with four aluminum anchors to securely attach it to mounting area.
The borders are similar to our other plaques but we have found that spacing between the two black borders gives your custom plaque the best look and feel possible.
Each acrylic plaque will have the options of any of the acrylic or wood based layouts along with a custom engraving plate with silver lettering on a black overlay.
1/4" Black
1/8" Black1/4" Gold1/8" Black
1/8" Black1/4" Sliver1/8" Black
Our Crystaline series is printed from exterior-grade materials which will stand through the tests of time. Each of our custom Crystaline plaques has your image applied directly to the back of the acrylic, the process is similar to the way a car has an imaged wrapped to the exterior.
This process eliminates any doubt of your picture or accomplishment moving around or withering away. Acrylic plaques of inferior quality don't attach the article on to the acrylic, instead they simply place a piece of paper between two pieces of plexiglass like a sandwich.
This leaves the paper free standing in an enclosed bubble, where the paper is free to shift once the glue holding the paper wears out. In time the paper will yellow and wither in this less quality plexiglass plaque.
Other acrylic plaques, as time passes, leave your keepsake unprotected. The Crystaline series not only has UV protection but our plaque has a diamond polished edge instead of a flame polish which creates a more stable piece of acrylic.
The Cyrstaline series offers an exceptional look to any accomplishment or photo for your home or workplace. These plaques truly are a new line of acrylic plaques for the modern era.

After a baby arrives, it can seem as if the laundry doubles! Many parents think they need to use baby detergent to clean their little one's clothes. And when a newborn's skin is sensitive, this may be true. But it may be reassuring to know that this isn't necessary for many babies.
If baby detergent isn't getting rid of stains and odors on your baby's clothing as well as you'd like, it may be time to switch to a regular liquid detergent. Unless your baby has allergies, eczema/topic dermatitis, or another condition causing sensitive skin, washing your little one's clothes with the rest of the family's clothes isn't likely to irritate your baby's skin. Liquid detergents sometimes rinse out easier than powder detergents do, so may be better for sensitive skin.
Before making the switch, though, be sure to test one article of clothing. And try using a detergent that's free of colors and fragrances. If you notice a skin reaction, stick with baby detergent for a little while longer. Whatever detergent you choose, avoid anti-static products or fabric softeners, which often have chemicals and fragrances that can irritate the skin.
Cloth diapers are the only items that need to be separated from your regular laundry because harsh detergents can cause diaper rash. Wash them with mild baby detergent. Also, use hot water and be sure to double rinse each load.

The Foundation for Fairplay Fund (F3) recently donated $4,500 in athletic equipment to Iowa High School.
The money went to the purchase of 10 new Riddell® Revolution® Speed Helmets and 10 Riddell® Power® Extreme SPX™ shoulder pads. The equipment offers the latest technology in football safety.
"This donation frees up a lot of money for us to spend elsewhere on our athletes and our program," says Sean Richard, Iowa head football coach. "All the money that we spend, we have to raise. This is a great boost to our football program and to the safety of our athletes."
F3 was established by The Foundation at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital in order to provide a more level playing field in the areas of preventable injury needs. The fund will assist schools in acquiring equipment such as quality football helmets, training room equipment needed for the rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and creating safe physical fitness surroundings.
Funds are distributed through an application process, which is reviewed by a volunteer board of directors. To learn more about F3 or to make a donation call 337.494.3226 or visit www.lcmh.com/f3.

How climate change amplified Sandy's impacts
As Hurricane Sandy moves out of the region, people in affected areas are beginning to take stock of the damage. Flooding in parts of New Jersey and New York from the storm surge hit record levels. The 13.8-foot surge measured at Battery Park in Lower Manhattan surpassed the all-time record of 11.2 feet set in 1821, flooding the New York subway system and two major commuter tunnels. Along the Eastern Seaboard, an estimated 7.5 million people lost power. Farther inland, blizzard conditions dropped as much as 2 feet of snow as Sandy crashed into arctic air over the Midwest. While early estimates indicate direct damages from the hurricane may be as much as $20 billion, the total economic losses, including losses in consumer and business spending, could be more than twice that amount.
A number of climate change-related factors may well have intensified the storm's impact: higher ocean temperatures, higher sea levels, and an atmospheric traffic jam that may be related to Arctic melting. Hurricane Sandy is also a clear reminder of how vulnerable our homes and infrastructure already are to extreme weather — and this risk is growing.
Climate Change and Hurricane Sandy
Download a PDF of this Factsheet
Hurricane Sandy is a stark reminder of the rising risks of climate change. A number of warming-related factors may well have intensified the storm's impact. Higher ocean temperatures contributed to heavier rainfall. Higher sea levels produced stronger storm surges. New research suggests that Arctic melting may be increasing the risk of the kind of atmospheric traffic jam that drove Sandy inland. While no single weather event can be said to have been directly caused by climate change, our weather now is the product of our changing climate, as increased warming raises the probability of extreme weather events. In highlighting our vulnerabilities to extreme weather, Hurricane Sandy underscores two imperatives: We need to reduce the risks of climate change by reducing our carbon emissions, and we must strengthen our defenses against future impacts that it may be too late to avoid.
Enhanced Precipitation
Warming increases the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. Globally, the resulting increases in heavy precipitation are well documented. Like Hurricane Irene last year, Sandy carried an unusual amount of moisture, which increased the risk of very heavy precipitation within its path. Much of the warming from climate change occurs in the ocean, and this year's sea surface temperatures are well above normal. September saw the second highest ocean temperatures on record globally. Sandy spent significant time over uncommonly warm sea surface temperatures – 5 degrees above normal -- boosting the amount of moisture available to rain down on the Northeast U.S.
Sea Level Rise
Recent studies have identified the Northeast U.S. as a "hotspot" of accelerated sea level rise. Over the past 30 years, sea levels in the region have risen four times faster than the global average, increasing the risk of storm surges and flooding. During a storm surge, a matter of inches can mean the difference between safety and extensive flooding. Hurricane Sandy's storm surge was exacerbated by both the warming-driven sea-level rise and the timing of the lunar cycle. Sandy occurred during the astronomical high tide, which is 2 to 3 inches above a normal high tide. Global sea level has already increased by 4 inches since 1950, creating the equivalent of a fulltime astronomical high tide. In New York, a record storm surge 13 feet above mean low water level flooded parts of lower Manhattan and poured into subway tunnels.
Atlantic Traffic Jam
Hurricane Sandy encountered a "traffic jam" in the North Atlantic, known as a "block" to meteorologists. This block did not allow Sandy to track out to sea like most northeast storms. Meanwhile, a storm associated with some very cold air over the Midwest also ran into this Atlantic traffic jam, resulting in an unusual "hybrid" storm. Recent research has shown that these blocking events and fall cold outbreaks are related to sea ice loss in the Arctic. In short, open water in the arctic helps break down the barrier between high- and mid-latitude weather, which increases the risk of cold outbreaks and blocking events. Hurricane Sandy seems to have tracked into the middle of one of these unusual meanders in the jet stream. While this is an evolving field of research and these conditions could have occurred in the absence of climate change, there is growing evidence that climate change is increasing the risk of extreme atmospheric arrangements.
Hurricane Sandy provides important lessons about our vulnerability to the kinds of extreme weather likely to become more common in a warming world. Our levees, sea walls and other infrastructure were built to cope with the extreme weather risks of the 20th century. Sandy is offering an opportunity to see where we fall short in preparations for the 21st century.
Elliot Diringer's Statement on Hurricane Sandy
Statement from Elliot Diringer
Executive Vice President, Center for Climate and Energy Solutions
Oct. 29, 2012
Hurricane Sandy is a stark reminder of the rising risks of climate change. While climate change didn't cause the hurricane, a number of warming-related factors may well be intensifying its impact.
Higher ocean temperatures, in this case 5 degrees above normal, contribute to heavier rainfall. Higher sea level means stronger storm surges. And new research suggests that Arctic melting may be increasing the risk of the kind of atmospheric traffic jam that is driving Sandy inland.
But whatever's behind it, Sandy clearly highlights our vulnerabilities to extreme weather. We've loaded the dice and events we once thought of as rare are becoming more common.
At a minimum, this is another foretaste of what we face in a warming world. It tells us two things: We'd better do all we can to reduce the risks by reducing our carbon emissions, and we'd better strengthen our defenses against future impacts that it's already too late to avoid.

Climate silence will cost the United States
I recently replied to ta question on the National Journal blog, "How is the absence of discussion about global warming going to affect our ability to do something about it?"
You can read more on the original blog post and other responses at the National Journal.
Here is my response:
Increasing extreme weather is costly in many ways
A report released this week by two senior members of Congress notes that the unusual number of extreme weather events in 2012 has cost the country billions of dollars and that the unusual frequency of these events is consistent with what scientists have predicted from climate change.
The staff report, "Going to Extremes: Climate Change and the Increasing Risk of Weather Disasters" is from the offices of Reps. Edward Markey (D-MA) and Henry Waxman (D-CA), the prime movers behind the last attempt at significant climate legislation. It cites information from a variety of sources, including NOAA, the news media and the private sector to show how rising weather risk costs real money.
Their report comes a week after Congress headed home for the elections having accomplished very little to address climate change. Nearly half the bills introduced by the current Congress would block or hinder climate action, though none of these have been enacted into law.
Drought and Climate Change
The U.S. Drought Monitor shows the extent of current drought conditions.
Click on the map above to go to the drought monitor site with a full report and statistics.
Drought and Climate Change
Recent U.S. droughts have been the most expansive in decades. At the peak of the 2012 drought, an astounding 81 percent of the contiguous United States was under at least abnormally dry conditions, resulting in an estimated $30 billion in damages. Climate change increases the odds of worsening drought in many regions of the U.S. and the world in the decades ahead.
Global warming will increase the risk of drought in some regions, particularly in the Southwest United States. Even in regions that may not see changes in precipitation, warmer temperatures can increase water demands and evaporation, putting greater stress on water supplies.
Estimates of future changes in seasonal or annual precipitation in a particular location are subject to considerable uncertainty; more so than estimates of future warming. However, scientists are more confident that at the global scale, relatively wet places such as the tropics and the high latitudes will get wetter, while relatively dry places in the subtropics (where most of the world's deserts are located) will become drier.
When droughts do occur, warmer temperatures can amplify their impacts. Droughts can persist through a "positive feedback," where very dry soils and diminished plant cover can further suppress rainfall in an already dry area. Increased temperatures enhance evaporation from soils, making a periodic occurrence of drought worse than it would be under cooler conditions.
Threats to the U.S.
The United States is historically susceptible to drought. Paleoclimate studies show major droughts in the distant past, while some more recent dry periods are still within living memory, such as the Dust Bowl of the 1930s or the drought of the 1950s. These historic examples serve as guideposts to highlight our vulnerabilities to drought as we move into a warmer, and in some places, drier future.
Recent U.S. droughts have been the most expansive in decades. For example, in 2011, Texas experienced its driest 12 months ever. At one point, 80 percent of the state was rated at an "exceptional" level of drought. At the peak of the 2012 drought, an astounding 81 percent of the contiguous United States was under at least abnormally dry conditions. Severe drought can affect:
- Agriculture: Droughts affect livestock and crops, including cornerstone commodities like corn, soybeans and wheat. At the height of the 2012 drought, the U.S. Department of Agriculture declared a natural disaster over 2,245 counties, 71 percent of the United States.
- Transportation: Recent droughts have had major impacts on water levels on the Mississippi River and the ability to move goods along the river. Transport barges need at least nine feet of water, and to maintain this level, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had to blast, dredge, and clear obstructions on a key stretch between St. Louis, Mo., And Cairo, Ill.
- Wildfires: In the Southwest, drought conditions and record heat have fueled damaging and sometimes deadly wildfires in Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. Millions of forested acres and thousands of homes have been lost over the past decade due to fires thriving in dry, stressed forest environments and because of the proximity of communities to fire-prone forests.
- Energy: Droughts can raise concerns about the reliability of electricity production from plants that require cooling water to maintain safe operations. When heat waves coincide with droughts, electricity demands can grow, compounding stress on the grid.
Potential Global Problems
In recent years, droughts have struck several major breadbasket regions simultaneously, adding to food price instability. In countries already facing reduced food security, cost spikes can lead to social unrest, migration, and famine. Several price spikes have occurred over the last decade, often connected to crop failures or poor yield. During the 2007-2008 crisis, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimated that high food prices increased the number of chronically hungry people in the word by 75 million.
How to Build Resilience
Governments and businesses must identify the vulnerabilities that droughts expose and take steps to improve resilience. Actions like using water more efficiently and developing more drought-resistant crops will help prepare us for both future droughts and climate change. These steps will be most effective if they are combined with reductions in greenhouse gases that can minimize the ultimate magnitude of climate change.

What can Hurricane Isaac teach us about climate vulnerability?
As with any single event, Hurricane Isaac doesn't tell us anything about whether hurricanes are getting worse due to climate change. But Isaac's impacts should be examined to teach us about our vulnerabilities to the types of extreme events scientists tell us climate change will make more common.
Two More Lows for Arctic Sea Ice
The loss of Arctic sea ice is progressing more rapidly and clearly than just about any other indicator of global climate change. As I've discussed previously, the minimum summer sea ice extent (i.e. the two-dimensional area of the floating ice cap) set new record lows in 2002, 2005 and 2007. Similarly, the total volume of sea ice set record lows in 2007, 2010 and 2011. For the first time since 2007, both the sea ice extent and volume have set new record lows in the same year (see figures). And what's more, they did it with weeks remaining in the melt season, which usually ends in mid-September. So the records have been broken this year, but we don't know yet just how low the extent and volume will go.
C2ES Releases New Extreme Weather Map on Eve of Senate Climate Hearing
Press Release
July 31, 2012
Contact: Laura Rehrmann, 703-516-0621, firstname.lastname@example.com
C2ES Releases New Extreme Weather Map on Eve of Senate Climate Hearing
The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) has created a new online map providing an overview of extreme U.S. weather events since 1990. The map highlights examples of extreme heat, heavy precipitation, drought, and wildfire -- four types of events with clear trends connected to climate change.
In a blog post announcing the new map, C2ES science and policy fellow Dan Huber summarizes the recent run of extreme weather:
- The last 12 months were the hottest on record for the lower 48 states by a significant margin. The "Summer in March" heat wave broke thousands of heat records across the country.
- Almost as soon as the spring heat subsided, wildfires sprang up in the West, with New Mexico's largest wildfire on record and Colorado's most damaging fire occurring within weeks of each other.
- The United States is mired in the most extensive drought since 1956. Nearly two-thirds of the contiguous U.S. is currently in drought and 75 percent of that area is categorized as severe. Last year, Texas had its most severe drought ever, resulting in billions of dollars in agricultural losses.
"Climate change is elevating the risk of extreme weather," writes Huber. "It's crucial that we take stock of what each disaster teaches us so that we understand the rising risks and are better prepared for what's to come."
The science behind climate change will be the focus of a hearing tomorrow (Wednesday, Aug. 1) before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee titled "Update on the Latest Climate Change Science and Local Adaptation Measures." The hearing, set for 10 a.m. in 406 Dirksen, is the Senate's first in this Congress focusing directly on climate change science.

Agreeing on the problem, if not the solution
Despite the very different views of the majority and minority parties in the Senate, there was in fact a fair degree of agreement among the witnesses at today's hearing on climate science and local adaptation.
During the climate science portion of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing, both the majority and minority witnesses agreed that the Earth has warmed over the past 120 years. With the recent publication of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project by former skeptic Richard Muller, there are now four (NOAA, NASA and Hadley are the others) major global temperature records that are in agreement that the Earth has warmed 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit over the past 50 years.

Pope Benedict and the Archbishop of Canterbury, spiritual leader of the world's Anglicans, met and prayed together on Saturday but made only glancing references to the divisions between their Churches.
Archbishop Rowan Williams spoke of the "certain but imperfect" link between the two Christian traditions during his address to the congregation at a joint service at the church of St Gregory the Great near Rome's Colosseum.
The 84-year-old German pope, who earlier held a private meeting with the archbishop at the Vatican, urged all Christians to "renew their commitment to pray constantly and to work for unity" at the same service.
Past popes and Anglican leaders have been much more outspoken about their differences – over issues ranging from women priests and homosexuality to church doctrine – during their meetings.

Hue, a wireless lighting system, allows you to "tune" your lights to up to 16 million different colors.
You can control them remotely so that you don't walk into a dark house. You can adjust the color or intensity to increase concentration or relaxation, based on years of studies on the effect of light on human behavior. Hue can even produce gentle reminders, so that your hallway lights automatically turn blue on a rainy morning (Bring your umbrella today) or so your house lights dim steadily beginning at 8 a.m. (Time to catch the train). Thanks to LEDs' ability to accept digital signals, in other words, home illumination isn't only about seeing or feeling better. It is an atmospheric conveyor of information, too.

Reconstructing Honor in Roman Philippi: Carmen Christi as Cursus Pudorum
by Joseph H. Hellerman
This book examines Paul's letter to the Philippians against the social background of the colony at Philippi. After an extensive survey of Roman social values, Professor Hellerman argues that the cursus honorum, the formalized sequence of public offices that marked out the prescribed social pilgrimage for aspiring senatorial aristocrats in Rome (and which was replicated in miniature in municipalities and in voluntary associations), forms the background against which Paul has framed his picture of Jesus in the great Christ hymn in Philippians 2. In marked contrast to the values of the dominant culture, Paul portrays Jesus descending what the author describes as a cursus pudorum ('course of ignominies'). The passage has thus been intentionally framed to subvert Roman cursus ideology and, by extension, to redefine the manner in which honour and power were to be utilized among the Christians at Philippi.

Stand-alone dental and vision plans: employee access and participation by establishment size
November 02, 2009
Some employers—especially those in large establishments—offer "stand-alone" dental and vision plans in their health care benefits packages. If a stand-alone dental or vision plan exists, it is likely that some employees will participate in this plan but not in the medical plan.
A common reason that employees make this choice is that they can be covered under their spouses' medical plan, but their spouses do not have a dental or vision plan.
In small establishments (1 to 49 employees), 18 percent of employees have access to stand-alone dental plans, and 14 percent participate in such plans. In large establishments (500 or more employees), 50 percent of employees have access to stand-alone dental plans, and 42 percent participate in those plans.
Stand-alone vision plans are offered to just 4 percent of employees in small establishments, with 3 percent participating. In large establishments, 19 percent of employees have access to stand-alone vision plans, and 16 percent participate.
These data are from the National Compensation Survey. A stand-alone plan is one that offers only dental or vision care, as opposed to a plan in which these benefits are included in a comprehensive medical care plan. To learn more, see "The New Health Participation and Access Data from the National Compensation Survey" in Compensation and Working Conditions Online, October 2009.

I was a sophomore in college, I got my first credit card. I thought it
was awesome -- it was like free money. Soon I got another credit card,
and before long I'd maxed them both out. I entered the work force with
a handicap. I had the start of a nasty credit habit.
My parents
had never been good with money, and as a result I had no notion of
proper financial skills. I made some bad decisions, which were in turn
compounded by some rotten luck. Just five years after graduation, I had
about $20,000 in credit card debt. For the next decade I tried to kick
the habit. Sometimes I'd make progress, but then I'd find other ways to
fall behind.
Here are some of the mistakes I made along the way and the steps I took to correct them.
I had no goals. When I was young, retirement seemed like something for old people. I did not understand the power of compound interest, that starting to save for retirement when I was 24 was far better than starting when I was 39. But more than that, I failed to set financial goals. I didn't dream of taking a trip to Europe. I didn't plan big purchases. If I wanted something, I bought it. On credit.
I set a goal: to be out of debt within five years. The very act of
setting this goal made a huge difference in my life. Suddenly, my money
had a purpose. I focused my efforts on debt reduction. I didn't get my debt paid off in five years -- I paid it off in three.
I didn't establish an emergency fund. Many financial experts recommend starting an emergency savings account before
you begin to pay off debt. I was cocky. I didn't believe this advice
applied to me. But then my car broke down and I needed to make $800 in
Because I didn't have an emergency reserve, I was
forced to open a credit account at the dealership to pay for the
repairs. This debt felt terrible. (It would have felt even worse if I'd
put it on an existing credit card.) I paid it off as soon as possible,
and then paused my debt-elimination plans for a few months in order to
stash $1,000 in the bank.
I didn't track my spending. One
reason I was able to get so deep into debt was that I didn't track
where my money went. It was like a black box. I just spent to my credit
limit. Once I started tracking my spending in Quicken, problem spots
became obvious. By tracking every penny I spent, I had a clear idea of
how much I was actually earning and spending, not just vague guesses.
(If I were starting now, I might use a web-based tool like Wesabe or Mint or Yodlee.)
I tried to pay high-interest debt first.
Most of the financial gurus give the same advice about debt reduction:
Eliminate your debts starting with the highest-interest rate obligation
first. This makes sense mathematically, of course, but what these
experts fail to understand is that debt isn't about math -- it's about mental mistakes. If debt were about math, nobody would have it.
years I tried to pay off my high-interest debts first, but I'd always
give up. My high-interest debt had high balances, and it felt like I
was never getting anywhere. Then I read about Dave Ramsey's debt snowball. Using this method, you pay off your lowest balances first.
This allows you to knock out a few debts right away, which gives you a
tremendous psychological boost. Once I learned about the debt snowball,
I was able to kick debt to the curb.
(Another valid approach is
to first pay off the debt that bugs you the most. Have a loan from your
brother-in-law that you feel guilty about? Pay that off before anything
I led myself into temptation. I like comic books. I've collected them since I was a boy. As an adult, I discovered I could pay $20 or $30 or $50 each for bound volumes that allowed me to collect many comic books at once. I have a weakness for these books.
I started to pay off my debt, I kept going to comic-book stores. "I'll
just look," I'd tell myself. But the thing is, I didn't just look. I
bought. Every time I set foot inside a comic- book store, I'd leave
with a book or two. Comic books were my kryptonite.
Your kryptonite might be bicycling gear or yarn or shoes. Whatever it is, avoid it. If you know you have a weakness, steer clear of situations likely to make you spend. Remind yourself of your goals.
I treated mistakes as if they were the end of the world.
Nobody's perfect. I made mistakes all the time as I was paying off my
debt. As I mentioned, I'd sometimes find myself buying comic books, or
spending $80 on expensive bottles of Scotch whisky. When I was starting
out, I'd let these mistakes get me down. I felt like they derailed all
the work I'd done. But that's not true.
Paying off debt is like
playing baseball. You go out there and do your best every single day.
You follow the fundamentals. If you make an error, you don't give up --
you make the play next time. If you strike out, you forget about it and
step to the plate for your next at-bat.
I spent raises and windfalls.
I used to view raises and tax refunds as a license to spend more money.
Get $1,200 back from the government? I'd use it to buy a new bike. A
raise at work? Time to subscribe to more magazines. Or maybe I can
afford that deluxe cable package. I was succumbing to lifestyle inflation -- as my income went up, so did my spending.
After reading "Your Money or Your Life,"
I realized that the smart move wasn't to increase my spending, but to
decrease it. I cut magazine subscriptions and cable television. Instead
of spending my tax refund, I applied it directly to debt. Sure, it
would have felt nice to buy a new television, but it felt even better
to say goodbye to another credit card.
I didn't seek help. Like an alcoholic, I hid my habit. Maybe "hid" is too strong a word, but because my wife and I keep separate finances,
I was able to hide my debt problem from her. (This is one of the
drawbacks to such a system -- there are drawbacks to joint finances,
I knew I had a spending problem. I knew it
intellectually, and I could feel it in my gut every time I bought
something with a credit card. But knowing you have a problem and doing
something about it are two very different things.
About five
years ago, a friend heard me complaining about my situation. He didn't
scold me. He didn't moralize. He just gave me a book (the
aforementioned "Your Money or Your Life") and suggested I read it. I
was lucky. Though I didn't seek help, help eventually found me. I could
have saved thousands -- tens of thousands! -- by admitting I had a
problem early on. (Debtors Anonymous was made for people like me.)
The final secret
The biggest secret of debt reduction? Getting rid of it feels awesome.
After living in debt for 20 years, I've spent about eight months
debt-free. The sense of freedom is euphoric at times. Psychologically,
I'm a new man.
The thing is, most advice about getting rid of debt is purely theoretical. It's written by pros in suits who think that debt is all about crunching numbers. It's not. If smart money management were just about math, everyone would be rich.
But smart money management is mostly mental.
It took me a long time to learn that. Once I figured that out, I felt
OK ignoring the advice from the "experts." I learned to play mental
tricks on myself. That's what helped me get out of debt.

I spent the past few months trying to find a new perfume because I can no longer find Noa in the stores, but I just can't find a fragrance I like as much as Noa. I am highly sensitive to smells, so this is the only one I can wear that doesn't give me a headache by the end of the day-I love it! It smells pretty and I always get compliments. The only con is that it doesn't last all day.

Comments about Cacharel Noa Perfume:
I decided to try this fragrance even though I had never smelled it before or tried a sample. I'm so glad I did, because it was just what I was looking for and didn't know it. It is just so pretty and feminine, and I find it to be a really soothing scent as I get a whiff of it as I go through my day. It is not at all fruity or citrusy which I was happy about because I try to avoid those at all costs. I spray it on the inside of my elbows, and I highly recommend rubbing a bit of vaseline on to the area first before you spray, as doing this really increases its lasting power. I do this, and with one spray on each inner elbow, I can still smell the fragrance at the end of the day. Noa is absolutely beautiful and I would recommend it for any age, really. It also sprays on really nicely, the bottle is great!

5 Industrial Stocks Poised for Bigger Dividends
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- These five industrial stocks are getting ready to raise dividends -- they just don't know it yet.
Industrials have been getting a bad rap lately, as investors ramp up their anxiety over Europe and expect the worst from industrial production. But that extreme negative sentiment may be overdoing it a bit. While it's true that industrials have to deal with cyclical businesses, it's important to remember that industrial firms are still churning out record revenues right now. And when price and value don't match up, heftier dividend payouts are the best way for management to reward shareholders.
All in, industrials tend to get a bad rap from retail investors. After all, industrial manufacturing isn't as exciting as the next tech breakthrough or some hot consumer product. Even so, investors shouldn't eschew the boring stocks in 2012. I can name more than a few times when buying boring turned out to be a good move, especially when sentiment was pointed the other way.
>>4 Loser Stocks Poised for Big ReboundsThat's why we're searching out a handful of industrial names that I think are set to hike their dividend payouts in the next quarter. For our purposes, our "crystal ball" is composed of a few factors: namely a solid balance sheet, a low payout ratio and a history of dividend hikes. While those items don't guarantee dividend announcements in the next month or two, they do dramatically increase the odds that management will hike their cash payouts, especially as investors start to get antsy about stock performance in 2012. In other words, fundamentally solid companies realize that they need to hike returns for shareholders if they want to keep demand for their stock high. And studies show that, historically, a dividend-centric strategy from management means much bigger returns for your portfolio. Without further ado, here's a look at five industrial stocks that could be about to increase their dividend payments in the next quarter.
