Climate politics scoop and question of the week
Okay, I don't know if it is a scoop, heck, I don't know for certain it is true, but very reliable source tells me that speaker Pelosi wants the climate bill on the House floor the last week in June.
That is consistent with what Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said (see "House Majority Leader says climate bill will see fast action"). But it will require a lot of speedy deal-making. Still, it suggests the speaker does not see any deal breakers in the path to House passage, even though, as Wonk Room reports, "Brown Dogs Poised To Block Green Economy Legislation."
And Sen. Boxer (D-CA) can certainly get something close to the Waxman-Markey bill out of the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee by the fall. And let's assume for now it doesn't get mired in any other committees
And that brings me to the climate politics question of the week:
Will moderate and conservative Senate Democrats — the Gang of 16 — vote for something that is called the Boxer-Waxman-Markey Bill? Or will they embarce a not-invented-here mentality and insist on substantially weakening it?
After all, at least one of them is already hard at work trying to gut an already weak Senate Renewable Energy Standard, which itself is weaker than the Waxman-Markey RES. As Wonk Room explained last week, "Evan Bayh votes against a national renewable electricity standard that even Republicans supported":
This morning, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) "was the only Democrat to oppose a renewable-energy requirement" that even some Republicans supported. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee "voted down an amendment offered by Republican Senator Jeff Sessions that would have removed the renewable electricity standard from the energy package the panel is currently debating" by a vote of 9 to 13. Even though the Energy Information Administration has found that a much stronger standard would only affect electricity prices in Indiana by 6 percent in 2026, Bayh argued Indiana would be hit hard:
Bayh said Indiana would be among the states that would bear a disproportionate share of the cost of meeting the requirement. He said a fairer system would be offering tax credits for producing power from renewable sources.
The standard of 15 percent renewable energy or efficiency gains by 2021 is significantly weaker than President Obama's preferred standard of 25 percent by 2025. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) joined 11 Democrats in support of the standard, and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) did not vote.
All you Hoosiers out there need to let your Senator know what you think with letters and phone calls. He is going to be a hard sell — and one more reason why we need some sort of the deal with China this fall (see Bayh's exchange with Energy Secretary Chu in "Does a serious bill need action from China?")

I think the Wonkroom link might be overemphasizing the 50-member brown-dog House coalition. Remember, some of those Democrats ended up voting for the bill in the committee.
Still, the Senate seems like a tougher nut to crack. It will only take a few Democrats to derail it, which brings me to another question:
Is there a chance that Republican Senators can be coaxed to support climate legislation? I read the following today:
The amount he's calling for ($700 billion over 20 years) is excessive and his views on renewable are very wrong, but can some concessions on nuclear energy be made if it can bring a fair number of Republicans to the table? Clearly, nuclear power is an effective very low carbon solution (although it has problems with cost and has some other environmental issues), so the emissions target wouldn't really be weakened. Getting a number of Republicans to support the bill would offset stubborness from coal state blue dog Democrats.
Personally, if the main concession to get the legislation passed is some support for nuclear incentives, I'll all for it. It sure beats concessions that give coal producers too much power to pollute. In other words, I'd rather make deals with the pro-nuclear crowd of politicians than the pro-coal crowd. Do you think someone like Sen. Alexander can be persuaded through this sort of deal-making or are almost all Republicans going to line up against the bill based on the usual partisanship? If it's the latter, then we're back to the very difficult task of getting most of the "Gang of 16" on board.
[JR: Beyond the two Maine women, I'm told everyone else is a very tough sell.]
Excellent analysis Mark. The republican party seems pretty determined to debase this legislation as best they can. Up to this point, I have heard pretty strong rhetoric indicating that the republican party will never support a piece of climate legislation unless nuclear is part of the mix. Although, I see a bit of momentum away from nuclear, with increased funding for loan guarantees taken out of the stimulus package, and holding steady at $18.5 billion in Obama's budget where some expected them to be bumped all the way up to $100 billion, possibly. Energy Secretary Chu seems at once outwardly optimistic about nuclear and candidly unsure and honest about its prospects. The administration up to this point is ambiguous on nuclear.
Bayh said Indiana would be among the states that would bear a disproportionate share of the cost of meeting the requirement. He said a fairer system would be offering tax credits for producing power from renewable sources.
I doubt that Indiana will be disproportionately disadvantaged.
Yes, Indiana does have a significant number of coal fired power plants.
But, according to this spreadsheet by the EPA, that can be tied in with Google Earth, Indiana is very, very rich in biomass and crop residues. Indiana could likely meet its renewable energy standard just by biomass co-firing.
Indiana is one of the richest states in the country with biomass crop residues. What Bayh should do is line up private companies to build biomass refineries on the reclaimed land listed on the EPA spreadsheet. Many of them list 5-7 million tons of biomass resources within 50 miles of the those sites. Many of those sites are within a few miles of the coal fired power plants.
Not only that, but most of the coal plants in Indiana are either along the Wabash or Ohio rivers. Biomass could be collected anywhere along these rivers or their tributaries, and moved to biorefineries along those rivers to be carbonized into biocarbon, which could then be burned in Indiana's coal fired power plants. On Google Earth, you can see barges going down the Ohio river. Just fill barges like those with carbonized biomass, and Bayh could easily meet any given renewable energy standard.
Here is a partial list of potential biorefinery sites in Indiana on EPA reclaimed land, along with metric tons per year of biomass resources within 50 miles of those sites. Sorry for the formatting:

Bayh's full of crap, IMO. Indiana is awash in biomass, and its coal plants are conveniently located on two major apparently navigable rivers, with numerous also apparently navigable tributaries, which could be used to transport biomass or biocarbon to the coal fired power plants.
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
Be ashamed, Republican in Democratic clothing!
It's incredible that a few people are somehow going to be able to hold up this process when all the polls indicate the majority of the people want a effort like Waxman-Markey put into legal effect as quickly as possible and that they as consumers and taxpayers are even willing to pay extra for it. Not to mention that the President has made it one of his two top priorities. Yet we are going to allow congressional business as usual to enable a very few well-placed people to stand in the way of what everyone else wants? I guess you can call that democracy, but it seem smore like the tyranny of the moneyed minority to me.
It's obvious that at some point President Obama is going to have to come down out of his tower, get his hands dirty, take some of these Brown Dog Democratic Senators out behind the wood shed and set them straight.
But speculating on what maneuvers and backroom deals might be done sometime in the next 6 months is kind of pointless — it's politics as a spectator sport. Perhaps the rest of us could better spend our time putting the scary new data into messages that the Joe Six Packs of the world can relate to and get on with the real business of informing people of the danger and the solutions and the bright economic future those solutions can provide.
I could be remembering incorrectly, but I remember you at some point saying that the committee was relatively conservative compared to the rest of the house. Is there any chance that the bill could actually get stronger once it is in the house (making the 2020 target stronger for instance)?
Opening up Google Earth with the CARMA powerplant database and the EPA renewable energy resources on reclaimed land database simultaneously is both fun and educational.
What it shows is that Bayh is totally full of crap, about poor Indiana.
Indiana is one of the shining examples of a state that would be trivially easy to convert from coal to biocarbon or biomass co-firing.
Shoot, Indiana could likely export biocarbon to power plants downstream on the Mississippi river system, and pay for the conversion by being a biocarbon exporter.
Go to the following link, select the option for integrating CARMA with Google Earth, and have fun, if you like. It's kind of fascinating, especially with the EPA renewable energy resources on reclaimed land database opened in another layer simultaneously.
Indiana should in fact convert its power plants to biocarbon fuel, oxyfuel combustion with a HiPPS topping cycle, and carbon storage by deep injection. Indiana, with it's power plants and biomass sources uniquely located on the Wabash and Ohio tributaries of the Mississippi, could easily and profitably lead the country into a carbon negative future.
What a shame that Bayh has taken the path of opposition and denial rather than flexibility and acceptance.
It would be very helpful to have a published study of the economic benefits to Indiana of converting to biomass. I think that could sway Bayh. Thanks to Leland Palmer for this point, and I hope some group produces this study.
One important political issue is that, if some version of Waxman-Markey does not pass, the EPA will be required to regulate GHGs as pollutants, and EPA regulation would be more damaging economically than WM. I think that is the threat that gives WM a good chance of getting through the senate.
Charles Siegel: Which would be economically more damaging: EPA regulations or the extinction of Homo Sap because of inadequate regulation, or just the collapse of civilization because of inadequate regulation?
We ARE in unknown territory already at 430 ppm equivalent and rising fast with 3 positive natural feedbacks already happening. There is reason to believe that 450 ppm equivalent is a tipping point that can cause the climate to lurch 9 degrees. There is no reason to believe that the climate is linear. There is reason to believe that, between steady states, the climate can oscillate wildly.
The kill mechanism that has caused at least 2 dozen previous civilizations to disappear is the collapse of agriculture due to the fact that the rain moved. The rain HAS moved.
Leland Palmer — A well-written e-mail to the senator might well find a favorable reception.
Hi David B. Benson-
Thanks, I'll do that.
It turns out that Bayh might have a point about Indiana being disproportionately disadvantaged, but only because it looks like over 90 percent of the electricity generated in the state comes from coal.
Various souces appear to show that the state has abundant biomass resources, and a natural biomass collection network in its rivers and their tributaries that could link the biomass sources to the power plants.
It also turns out that there are deep saline aquifers under Indiana, that a combination government/university mapping effort estimates could store 22 to 44 billion tons of CO2 using carbon storage by deep injection. Indiana produces about 165 million tons of CO2 per year from about 90 large fixed sources. If the low estimate of 22 billion tons of storage is correct, this means that Indiana could store about 130 years of CO2 at current production of CO2 in these deep saline aquifers. If they run out of storage capacity, other neighboring states appear to have much more storage capacity.
So Indiana would make a wonderful test case and pilot project, IMO, and it looks like it would actually be possible to fairly easily make Indiana carbon negative, using a combination of biocarbon fuel, enhanced efficiency and CCS.
It turns out, though, that coal fired power plants located on rivers are not unusual at all. Many large coal fired power plants are located on rivers, to provide cooling water, it appears. Cruising around on Google Earth with the CARMA plug-in and the EPA renewable energy resources on reclaimed lands plug-in, it looks like the whole Mississippi river basin including tributaries could become one huge biocarbon transport system, delivering biocarbon to many, many coal fired power plants.
Other interesting river systems include the Columbia (primarily for biocarbon export, perhaps to California) and the river delta area near Stockton, California. California has few or no coal plants, but we do have some natural gas plants that could perhaps be converted to gasified biomass. California also has 75 to 300 billion tons of estimated CO2 storage capacity in deep aquifers, so we could also become a carbon negative test case, reducing our dependence on out of state power producers.

In a move designed to improve the way the Army purchases and tracks its IT equipment, officials on July 5 announced a new process for certain IT buys.
The Army CIO/G-6 office now will assume responsibility for granting waivers for Army components seeking to buy commercial off-the-shelf technologies from alternative sources. Previously, that decision rested with the Army Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions (CHESS) office, the primary source for Army IT purchases.
"This change will bring the Army one step closer to the goal of ensuring visibility and accountability of all IT expenditures throughout the Army," CHESS Program Manager Brendan Burke wrote in an Army release. "With the signing of the policy memorandum on June 6, 2013, the Secretary of the Army formalized the collaborative effort lead by the CIO/G-6 to help the Army better track all IT expenditures across the force."
The new policy also designates a single website for requests from components seeking a waiver – something that is done in situations where there is no adequate CHESS contract vehicle, or if users require capabilities that are not part of a current CHESS contract, the release noted. The Goal 1 Waiver website will serve as a central point for non-CHESS IT purchase requests to be fully vetted, according to the release.
"This effort will ensure customer compliance with Army policies, as well as capture more details about the amount and type of funding being executed outside of the CHESS program," Burke wrote. "By combining the data collected from the G1W and the existing sales data available from CHESS contracts, the Army will improve the visibility into total IT spending."
The policy change is part of broader, Army-wide efforts spearheaded by the CIO/G-6 office to collaborate on and keep track of IT acquisition. With the new plans the Army also aims to cut down on costs and improve standardization and compliance.
The migration of the waiver approval for [COTS IT] purchases outside of the CHESS program to the CIO/G-6 represents a significant change in business process for the Army, Burke wrote. "Like any change in process, this change could potentially impact procurement plans for the end of the fiscal year. However, it also reflects the kind of change that is needed to achieve the increased visibility, cost savings, and improved network security required by the Army directive to achieve IT management reform."
The Army release also includes an FAQ with more information for those affected by the policy change.

Canada Dollar Rises Most Since October 2009 on Fiscal Outlook
Canada's dollar rose the most in eight months on bets economic growth will fuel demand for the nation's raw materials and Europe's debt crisis spurred demand for currencies backed by relatively strong balance sheets.
The Canadian currency, known as the loonie, has appreciated 11.4 percent this year, the best performance among its developed-world counterparts, Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes show. The nation's wholesale sales rose 0.3 percent in April, according to a median forecast of 172 economists in a Bloomberg survey before a report on June 17.
"What we've seen this week is that there will be austerity programs, there are still vectors of strength in the world," said Stefane Marion, chief economist at National Bank Financial Inc. in Montreal. "The Canadian dollar has held up really well in a situation where people are worried about a double dip in the economy."
The Canadian currency rose 2.9 percent to C$1.0322 per U.S. dollar in Toronto, compared with C$1.0629 on June 4, the biggest gain since the five days ended Oct. 9, 2009. It reached C$1.0288 on June 10, the strongest since May 18. One Canadian dollar buys 96.88 U.S. cents.
'Reserve Currency'
The loonie has risen 1.2 percent since June 1, when the Bank of Canada raised its target interest rate to 0.50 percent from a record low 0.25 percent, the first Group of Seven country to do so since last year's global recession. Canada will have the lowest net debt-to-output ratio among the G-7 countries, and along with the U.S. will have the fastest economic growth this year, the International Monetary Fund's April 2010 World Economic Outlook predicted.
Canadian monetary and fiscal policy "continues to suggest the making of a reserve currency," making it less likely that international investors will sell the nation's assets during economic shocks, BNP Paribas SA said on June 10.
Global demand for commodities will "force the Bank of Canada to tighten faster than the market is currently pricing in," BNP analysts wrote in an e-mailed note. "The end benefit for Canada is the rising credibility of the central bank as it correctly anticipated the subprime crisis and presided over a stable banking system."
The currency has appreciated this year against all but one of its 16 most-traded counterparts, even as crude oil, Canada's biggest export, declined 6.4 percent and the MSCI World Index of shares dropped 7.5 percent.
'Take Up the Slack'
While the loonie tends to follow movements in stocks and commodities, correlation studies suggest the currency may be decoupling from its traditional drivers.
Movements in Canada's currency are 81 percent correlated to the MSCI World Index and 68 percent to crude oil futures contracts, according to Bloomberg 30-day correlation data. That's down from highs of 82 percent on April 5 and 80 percent on April 27, respectively. A correlation of 100 percent would indicate the instruments move in lock step.
"Canada has proven its ability to outperform both in a period of global market strengths but also in an environment in which risk gets taken off the table," said Derek Holt, an economist with Bank of Nova Scotia in Toronto.
'Take Up the Slack'
Canadian employers added 24,700 jobs in May, topping the 15,000 median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey. The country's unemployment rate was unchanged at 8.1 percent, Statistics Canada said last week in Ottawa. The gain followed a record 108,700 jump in April.
"The Canadian economy is starting to take up the slack that emerged during the downturn," said David Watt, a senior currency strategist in Toronto at Royal Bank of Canada, the nation's largest lender. "You look at the economic growth numbers, Canada is going to be if not the top performing G-7 nation this year," then on par with the U.S.
Government bonds declined. The yield on the two-year note rose 16 basis points, or 0.16 percentage point, to 1.78 percent. Yields on securities maturing in 10 years gained 11 basis points to 3.40 percent.

Select your desired product options and we will notify you when it is back in stock.
Invest in your feet's health with a pair of luxuriously soft Orthaheel Women's Geneva. This corduroy slipper will keep your toes warm while providing unparalleled support to collapsed arches or those with plantar fasciitis. The durable TPR outsoles provide traction for inside and outside wear, while the podiatrist engineered footbeds prevent over pronation and its attending aches.
Orthaheel Geneva Black Corduroy Women's Shoe
Features include:
Recommended by such professionals as the esteemed Dr. Andrew Weil, the orthotic properties of the shoe may not seem like a natural fit upon first wearing them. Therefore, we suggest that you sport the shoe for limited amounts of time for the first week or two; within no time, the Orthaheel Geneva will feel supremely comfortable.
As usual, Vionic products are the best for my plantar fasciitis. The arch support is amazing and you have to slowly get used to it. If I don't have other Vionic shoes on, these are on the old feet. I live in them at home.
My first pair of Support slippers. Since I wear slippers often at home I decided to get some with support, gee what an amazing difference to have support!! The arch is just enough, their other slippers all had a way too high of an arch in them for my foot, but these have just the right amount. It's hard not to wear them outside because they are also cute. I've never been a huge fan of houndstooth but I sure love these. I have a very narrow foot so had to try a few pairs to get one with tighter elastic on the sides. Highly recommend these!
I over-pronate and I like a lot of arch support. I bought the vionic flipflops and they have pretty aggressive arch support. I was a little dissappointed that the slippers are slightly less agressive in the arch support, but they still have much more than any other slipper I've seen. They seem to be supportive enough for daily wear around the house, so I really can't complain! Plus they're cute and warm.
my friend told me how wonderful these were so i ordered a pair.... I just love them so i ordered another. They really help with my planters fascites (sp??) I would recommend them for anyone who needs extra support and they are so comfortable,
Love the color. Live in Alabama n our Alabama Crimson Tide color is houndstooth for Bear Bryant do this are great for game day.
U can wear indoor or outdoors. The kept ur feet warm n very comfy

Watch This 1200HP Twin-Turbo Aventador Hit Veyron-Nuking Speed
This 1200hp Aventador will hit 60mph in 2.2sec. Watch it in action
The best thing about power-crazed tuners Underground Racing is that they leave their cars looking totally stock. This Lamborghini Aventador has UR's new twin-turbo conversion bolted on the back, turning up the heat from the 6.5-litre V12 from 691bhp to nearly 1200bhp. That's Veyron Super Sport pace, y'all... But wait, the Lambo is way lighter than a Veyron - about 400kg better off in fact. That's why this Aventador trashes the Bug: 0-60mph in 2.2sec within four tenths of an F1 car off the line. Holy crap. The cost? £97k, plus your £253,200 stock Lamborghini.
Underground have been at the 1200bhp game with Gallardos for a while now. Check out the video of world's fastest Gallardo vs the driver's unsuspecting mum below...
One question: why aren't these monsters in the new Fast and Furious movie?!

Give more than four dates for chemistry to develop?
I've gone on four dates with a woman. The conversation is great, but I haven't felt a spark. In this situation, I'm torn between two things that I'm trying to change in my approach to dating: First, I'm trying to lessen my tendency to decide ASAP whether a relationship will work out, before I really get to know someone. Second, I'm trying to lessen my tendency to fail to end relationships that I'd rather not be in. The first change says, "Go on more dates and see if chemistry develops." The second change says, "Don't drag something out when you know you're not feeling it; be honest." What says MetaFilter? What are your experiences with giving chemistry more time to develop?
Are there Universal Task Codes for Graphic Design?
Lawyers have the Uniform Task Based Management System. Doctors have CPT Codes. But what about other industries, like marketing, advertising, and graphic design? The company I work for is developing a list of tasks so we can report our time in a meaningful way, but it's proving to be a more extensive task than anyone anticipated. Surely there's a standardized list for design or advertising professionals. [more inside]
Help me understand work habits. How much time is spent ...not working?
At work, no one has ever monitored my time or even told me what hours I should be working, so I'm not sure what is appropriate. I'm a good performer, but am still on edge and worried I could be seen as inappropriate. I understand no one can give 100% all the time, but lately I spend more time browsing or chatting with coworkers. I don't want to get a surprise reprimand or be viewed as a slacker. Please help me determine what is and isn't acceptable in the workplace. [more inside]
He went from 3 nights a week to once a week? Is he losing interest?
I've been seeing a guy for 2.5 months that I've known for a year. I'm 33, he's 38. I ended a 10 yr relationship last year so I apologize ahead of time for having the dating skills of a 23 yr old. We're in a meetup group and participated in weekly events long before we started dating. We spent the first month seeing eachother 1x/week, that built to 2x a week plus Fri or Sat. He seemed to really enjoy lying down with me talking about our day. (similar jobs). Our dates were rarely planned more than 24 hrs in advance. It was usually: "What are you doing tonight/tomorrow? Do you want to do A,B, C?" I did that with prior relationships. [more inside]

Looking for a song that was wrongly tagged "the bravery - time wont.."
I remember a song from around 2008 that was tagged the bravery- time wont let you go. Ive basically listened to both their sun and moon album but its not one of those songs. It starts with a strong piano and and its kinda slow but the drums are prominent in the song. Its killing me and i cant find it anywhere. I can half remember it in my head and it sounds like it could be by the bravery but im not excluding similar sounding artists like the editors. Cant remember any lyrics though!

I opened up Disc Utility and the External HD's partioned Time Machine is available but the other part, now renamed something else (a default name from manufacturer?) is greyed out and I cannot touch it. Any thoughts? Should i now go to the boot disc of Snow Leopard? Not sure why TM shows but the rest does not.
Not just get things done, but find out what I did...

Currently using Things for Mac and iphone, but am open to moving if it is for a better solution (i integrated time tracking with no loss of functionality). Am ok with paying for it. [more inside]

Fortress Draconis: Book One of the Dragoncrown War Cycle (Mass Market Paperbound)
The incredible new fantasy epic that began with The Dark Glory War continues in...
Fortress Draconis
In an age of treachery and peril, a young thief may be the prophesied savior ... or the betrayer of the world.
From Michael A. Stackpole, New York Times bestselling author and a master of epic fantasy, comes a stirring chronicle of magic, intrigue, passion, and the most unlikely of heroes...
Once one of the grandest of human cities, Yslin now has a dark heart known as the Dimandowns. And when Will, an orphaned young thief from the Dim, plots to prove himself to his master by stealing a prize from the exiled Elves who share the fetid slums, his theft of the strange artifact snares him in a web of prophecy.
It also brings him together with Kedyn's Crow, a shadowy human warrior, and Resolute, a Vorquelf determined to redeem his long-lost island home. To them, Will could be the fulfillment of a long-held dream and the last chance the world has to save itself from Chytrine, the northern tyrant who would be empress of the world.
But their belief in Will finds few allies in a world torn by war and magick. Preoccupied with their own internecine struggles, the world's leaders see Will as a pawn. Only Chytrine seems able to recognize Will's destiny, and she sends her Dark Lancers to destroy him. For who better to destroy a hero than the ill-fated heroes of the previous generation, survivors of a failed war to exterminate Chytrine, now corrupted to her service?
Yet even as Will is tested, a new generation takes up arms where their predecessors failed. Alexia, princess of a dead nation, leads an army to oppose Chytrine. And the sorcerers of Vilwan have fashioned their own hero, Kerrigan Reese, bestowing upon him powers and abilities no human has held for centuries.
Together these heroes travel to the mysterious Fortress Draconis to stop Chytrine from stealing more fragments of the DragonCrown — a powerful artifact that, once in her control, will guarantee her dominion forever.

|Dalpatram Dahyabhai
Dalpatram Dahyabhai Travadi (Gujarati: દલપતરામ) (1820–1898) was a Gujarati language poet during 19th century in India. He was the father of Nanalal Dalpatram Kavi, a poet.
Early life[edit]
Born in 1820 in a Brahmin family, Dalpatram grew up to the resonant chanting of 'mantras' and recitations of religious scriptures. He was a child prodigy and displayed his extraordinary literary skills by composing 'hondulas' at the age of 12. He mastered the structures of rhyme, poesis and 'Vrajbhasha' as a Swaminarayan devotee under Brahmanand Swami, and later moved to Ahmedabad at the age of 24.[1][unreliable source?]
Dalpatram, who knew no English, was a Sanskrit scholar and poet.[2] Dalpatram taught Gujarati language to Alexander Kinloch Forbes, a British colonial administrator to Ahmedabad. Gujarati was considered at the bottom of language hierarchy during those times. So he preferred to write his poems in Brijbhasha instead of Gujarati, his mother tongue. Forbes encouraged him to write in Gujarati. They became close friends. He inspired Dalpatram to write Laxmi Natak published in 1849, the first play in Gujarati, based on Greek drama Plutus.[3][4][5]
Forbes who wanted Gujarati literature develop, had helped found the Gujarat Vernacular Society. He served as its first assistanst secretory and started Biddhiprakash periodical in 1850. He edited the periodical till 1878.[6] When Forbes died in 1865, Dalpatram composed Farbesvirah, a Gujarati elegy, and Farbesvilas, his account of the gathering of bards, both dedicated to him.[3] At the end of the 19th Century He was entitled Mahakavi (Great Poet) by Shahjanand Swami, the founder of Swaminarayan Sampraday.[2]
Unlike Narmad, another prominent Gujarati poet of the same period, Dalpatram supported British rule for the benefits it gave India. Dalpatram also supported social reforms such as opposition to child marriage, allowing widows to remarry. Both Dalpatram and Narmad were the first Gujarati poets to address subjects connected to common life in their verses. Dalpatram's poems had subjects like English law, how to write an essay, and even "trees in a college compound". His verse often reflected his sense of humour.[2]
Dalpatram was an authority on meters and wrote a treatise, Pingal ("Prosody"), used by scholars as a sourcebook for many decades.[2]
Statue and Memorial[edit]
In tribute to Dalpatram's work, AMC and citizens of Ahmedabad proposed a memorial at the site of his house, which was destroyed in 1985. With very few references or photographs available, it was really difficult to recreate the house. References were then taken from the memories of residents and the architectural design of surrounding houses to create a memorial in the form of facade of the house and statue of Kavi Dalpatram in the year 2001.
In the year 2001, the memorial became a part of Heritage walk of Ahmedabad. The design of statue was debated before they came up with the idea of sitting posture of Kavi with a book in his lap.
The statue is made of bronze and weighs 120 Kg. Another key feature of the statue is the empty shoe of kavi which is very dear to the children. The children call him 'Dada' or grandfather with love and have deep emotions attached to the statue.
The platform behind the statue displays the plan of the original house. The yellow stone on the floor indicates the walls, grey stone indicates the rooms and the black stone represent the open courtyard. The staircase is also marked with yellow stone.[7]
The memorial also serves as a platform for community gatherings. His plays and recitations are also enthusiastically performed on various occasions including his Birthday. The Heritage department has taken the responsibility of maintenance of the Dalpatram Memorial.[8]
He was a progressive thinker and advocated the upliftment of oppressed classes and women empowerment. He utilized his literary skills to bring about changes in society.[9] At the end of 19th century, he was entitled Mahakavi or the great poet by Shahjanand Swami, the founder of the Swaminarayan Sampraday.[9]
Years have passed but the poems of Mahakavi still resonate in the hearts of people, inspiring them to move ahead in life, bringing peace to disturbed minds and questioning the social structure and system. Dada's poems also aim to teach moral values to the children through rich imagery and simple language.[1]
Kavishwar Dalpatram Award is named after him.
His career spanned 6 books and 25 awards including drama, poems, songs, essays and articles. 'Hari Lila Amrut', 'Ven Charitra', 'Mithyabhiman' and 'Laxmi' are his major contributions.[1][10][11]
- Laxmi (play)

Anyway, I've a small issue. I use WP Views to build my sites and so optimally I would control the placement of the sharing buttons using a shortcode. Can you add support for this?
Thanks for such a great plugin and for it being free!

Where did the summer of 2015 go? We can't believe it's time to go back to school. Whether you're a student looking for some study tips or a parent looking for some reassurance, our Back to School Guide will get you back on track to have a successful school year.
We know that getting back into the swing of the daily school schedule takes some time, so you should give yourself a break if you find the first couple of weeks a little difficult to break free from that vacation mindset. That's natural! But at some point, you do have to figure out how you're going to tackle the school year, and we hope the articles below you do some of that.

I derived AbortResponse from EndResponse and then had to put a couple of other catches in Application.py as I recall in case the servlet did not catch it. Are you using 0.8.1 or the CVS version? I have not yet applied my fix to the CVS trunk version of the code yet, but I could probably do that in the near future if you are interested. I have been meaning to upgrade to the latest changes in CVS anyway. -Stuart - Dietmar Schwertberger wrote: >In <URL:news:local.News> on Wed 03 Sep, webware-discuss@... wrote: > > >>--> Tuesday, September 2, 2003, 4:31:26 PM, maillist@... wrote: >> >> >> >>>In <URL:news:local.News> on Tue 02 Sep, Ian Bicking wrote: >>> >>> >>>I thought that 'StreamOut Error' is a message from mod_python which is just >>>printed to stderr.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
The only problem I see is that about the 16th or 17th time it repeats through, it gets just a tad bit repetitive and annoying. Perhaps a bit more variety?Other than that, this is a beautiful ambient/house song, and I love it. Great work, keep it up.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
felt in love with that synth , how many oscillators does it take lol ? And what kind of waves ? ( sin, square...) . Awesome work , pretty proffessional and well mastered even on NG .
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I have listened to this perhaps 75 times
This kicks so much butt, dude, this is the best house song ever. Ever.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
would like to use this in an upcoming documentary email me if your interested email@example.com
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This song is awesome, except for the extremely highly pitched kick, which i dislike a bit. Generally, the pitch is too high in percussion, which is really a shame, as the synth, pads, and melody rules like hell.

Easing Arthritic Pain
April 10, 2000 (San Francisco) -- For more than 10 years, 72-year-old San Franciscan Ellen Arbenz was dogged by pain every time she climbed a set of stairs. Sometimes just walking across a room made her joints cry out. And though she'd always loved gardening, she had gradually come to enjoy it less and less. Kneeling to yank a weed, pushing a trowel into the dirt, or merely reaching to clip a flower had become too painful.
Arbenz's troubles are all too common: an estimated 20 million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis. Like many others with this ailment, Arbenz has long taken the standard therapy: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. The pills made her joints less achy, but they also upset her stomach.

10 Ways to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick
By Sarah Mahoney There's an inevitable rhythm to January 1 at my house. I take down the tree, vacuum up pine needles, and start making my New Year's resolutions. The list usually looks like this: Lose weight. Swear off TV and saturated fat. Eat salads. Call Dad more. Write that novel. Floss. By midday I'm worn out, intermittently dozing in front of a football game and swiping my husband's million-calorie nachos. It's not that I totally lack discipline. It's just that I don't sufficiently appreciate...
Read the 10 Ways to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick article > >
A year or so ago, she heard of a dietary supplement called glucosamine. Indeed, if you know a lot of people with arthritis, as Arbenz does, it's hard not to hear about this substance. Again and again, fellow sufferers told her that glucosamine -- sometimes taken along with another supplement called chondroitin -- helped them. A book on these pills, The Arthritis Cure, by Jason Theodosakis, MD, was selling like hotcakes.
Six months ago, Arbenz tried glucosamine herself. "I've had very good results," she says. "I no longer take the anti-inflammatories, and the pain is still improving."
Arbenz's rebound would come as no surprise to veterinarians, many of whom have long used glucosamine and chondroitin to treat creaky horses and dogs. "We see it all the time," says Andrew Sams, DVM, a veterinary surgeon at the Madera Pet Hospital in Corte Madera, Calif. "I've had many pet owners start using these supplements for themselves after their dog began to show improvements." But after years of such anecdotal successes with only small-scale foreign studies to back them up, there's been little medical evidence of their effectiveness.
That may be about to change. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently allocated $6.6 million for the biggest study ever on these supplements. This eagerly awaited nine-center trial, slated to begin this summer, will assign more than 1,000 osteoarthritis patients to receive either glucosamine alone, chondroitin alone, the two substances together, or a placebo. Monthly evaluations will look at patients' levels of pain and how well they're able to manage everyday chores. Researchers will also compare X-rays of joints taken at the beginning and end of the study to look for structural changes over the four-month period.

AUSTINTOWN — A township teen was caught taking an Apple computer tower from the old Austintown Middle School.
Police arrived at the former middle school on Mahoning Avenue around 2:30 p.m. Monday to find a 15-year-old male behind the old football stadium with the equipment in his possession.
The suspect told police he had entered the building by removing screws to a door on the North side of the school.
The boy was released to his mother, and advised that a breaking and entering charge could be filed once the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center reviews the case.
Why are there still computers just sitting in the old middle school?
Another fine product of Austintown schools. Why in the world would you break in to the school at 2:30 in the afternoon? Cmon dude talk to your buddies at <insert city school here> - they'll tell you how to do it right!
I had the same question, dmets.
My bet is that the excuse is that they don't have any money to get the old stuff removed out of the place. I can hear the begging now, "We dont have any funding, please pass the levy so we can throw trash away."
Those were probably some of the old Apple II's. The district wouldn't have to pay to have someone move them anyway, but those would no longer by usable by the district either. They have no salvage value. They might as well leave them there and sell them as assets with the building.
if these computers were no longer needed and were being left to throw away as garbage then it shouldnt be theft. but however it would be tresspassing and breaking and entering. i mean common why charge someone with theft if the stuff is being tossed in to the landfills.

Treasury 30-Year Bonds Best Performing U.S. Debt Before Auction
Treasury 30-year bonds rose, with yields close to the lowest levels in 11 months, as demand for the longest-maturity debt surges amid an absence of inflation before the U.S. sells $16 billion of the securities.
The long bond has returned 12 percent this year, the most for that period in data compiled by Bank of America going back to 1988. All U.S. government securities gained after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said in a second day of testimony before Congress that interest rates are unlikely to rise unless the economic recovery is stronger, and the European Central Bank suggested that it may cut rates next month.
"Even though the biggest buyer of Treasuries is slowly and surely fading away, there has been no shortage of players -- from pension funds to central banks --- who have jumped in to fill the gaps," said Jason Rogan, managing director of U.S. government trading at Guggenheim Securities LLC, a New York-based brokerage for institutional investors.
The 30-year yield fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 3.38 percent at 12:20 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The price of the 3.625 percent security due in February 2044 rose 3/8, or $3.75 per $1,000 face amount, to 104 1/2. The yield sank to 3.35 percent on May 5, the lowest level since June 19.
The benchmark 10-year note yield declined two basis points to 2.59 percent, and five-year yields decreased three basis points to 1.62 percent, the lowest since April 16.
Potential Shortage
Buyers of the longest-term Treasuries are facing a potential shortage of supply. Excluding those held by the Fed, Treasuries due in 10 years or more account for just 5 percent of the $12.1 trillion market for U.S. debt.
The 30-year bonds due to be sold today yielded 3.395 percent in pre-auction trading, the lowest level since the auction of the securities in June. The securities yielded 3.525 percent at last month's auction. Investors at the 30-year sale on April 10 submitted bids for 2.52 times the amount of debt available, up from 2.35 times in March.
"Dealers have pulled back from setting up," said Thomas Roth, senior Treasury trader in New York at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities USA Inc., referring to the 22 banks and investment firms that underwrite U.S. debt and are obligated to bid in U.S. government auctions. "People are afraid to be short." A short is a bet the price of a security will drop.
At the previous auction, the primary dealers took 38.8 percent of the securities, the least since January.
Extra Demand
Longer-term securities may get about $300 billion in extra demand from pension funds over the next two years that would equal almost half the $642 billion of the debt outstanding, according to data from Bank of Nova Scotia, a primary dealer.
In 2013, 30-year bonds led longer-term Treasuries to the worst losses among government debt globally, falling 12.5 percent. The securities have outperformed this year.
"There's just very good demand for the long end," said Dan Mulholland, head of Treasury trading at BNY Mellon Capital Markets in New York. "People have made their growth expectations lower and inflation has been subdued."
Thirty-year bond yields will rise to 4.05 percent by year-end, according to the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg from May 2 to May 7. Ten-year yields will rise to 3.25 percent, they estimated.
U.S. government debt was supported as Russian President Vladimir Putin said his nation's army is testing its combat readiness, ramping up tensions after he pledged a pullback from Ukraine's border. NATO said there's no sign of any Russian withdrawal. Pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine vowed to press ahead with autonomy votes.
Yellen Testimony
Treasuries returned 2.7 percent this year through yesterday, according to Bloomberg World Bond Indexes. U.K. gilts and German securities both earned 3.2 percent.
After keeping euro-area interest rates at record lows today, ECB President Mario Draghi told reporters that the 24-member Governing Council is "comfortable with acting next time." Rates cuts in Europe increased the attractiveness of U.S. securities to international investors.
Yellen testified to the Senate Budget Committee, reiterating that while solid second-quarter economic growth bolsters the case for the tapering of central-bank bond purchases, inflation remains low. She said U.S. economic data show "solid growth" in the second quarter. Still, she said, "many Americans who want a job are still unemployed" and inflation is low.
The Fed's preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures deflator, rose 1.1 percent in March from a year ago, a report on May 1 showed. The gauge has fallen short of the bank's 2 percent target for almost two years.
