EPA analysis for Feingold appears doubly flawed: Climate bill allocations are not unfair to the Midwest
Midwesterners are operating under the misimpression that the allocation formula in the House bill is unfair to them. It doesn't, although a new, flawed EPA "analysis" ("here") suggests otherwise.
Certainly the formula is a tad ambiguous and that will no doubt be fixed in the Senate. The figure above shows the results of analysis by MJ Bradley (click to enlarge, methodology here).
I would note that the Bradley analysis does not appear to include the energy efficiency provisions in the bill, which are projected by independent analysts and EPA to deliver major savings (see "Waxman-Markey could save $3,900 per household and create 650,000 jobs by 2030"). So even the small increase in bills that you see in 2012 would in reality be lower if the House bill became law. But I digress.
The analysis is tricky for two reasons that the EPA appears to get wrong:
- First, the House bill forbids a utility from getting more allowances than are required to offset their increased costs, but doesn't quite spell out how to account for that. The obvious thing to do is what MJ Bradley does: "Excess allowances are withheld from states that receive more allowances than their delivered electricity related emissions. These withheld allowances are redistributed to the remaining states on the basis of their emissions."
The EPA offers a long explanation for why the prohibition against excess distributions would be tricky to implement in practice — and then it seems like they just ignore the provision entirely. So, as you can see, they claim California would get more allowances than it needs to cover its emissions. But preventing that outcome is precisely why that provision was put in the House bill in the first place.
- Second, states import power — sometimes power that is more carbon-intense than the importing state as a whole. An analysis must take into account. It does not seem that EPA's calculations of emissions of a state like California included its imported coal-fired electricity.
So I just think EPA got this is doubly wrong in a way that happens to fit the misperception of the Midwesterners. I have also spoken to other independent utility modelers who say their results do not match EPA's.
Bottom Line: The allocation formula appears to be pretty fair, if a tad ambiguous. EPA needs to spell out exactly how they did their analysis, and explain if they made one or both of these two major analytical errors. The Senate needs to be clearer on how the prohibition-against-excess-distributions provision works.
For more background, here are some excerpts from Tuesday Climate Wire (subs. req'd) story:
A new U.S. EPA analysis requested by Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) is spawning a lobbying frenzy among Midwestern utilities that claim the document shows they will be treated unfairly under federal climate legislation.
They say the assessment reveals that states like California will receive a financial windfall under a global warming bill, while states like Wisconsin will not get enough help and will have to spike electricity rates as a result.
"The EPA document just confirms the formula will disadvantage Midwest states for decades to come while the coastal states will hit a 'federal jackpot' every year over the life of the new program," said Zachary Hill, senior manager of federal government affairs at Alliant Energy, a Wisconsin-based utility.
Some environmentalists are counterattacking that the three-page report is flawed because its author relied on questionable methodology and analyzed only one part of a bill that passed the House earlier this year. They also say a Senate version of climate legislation is still being drafted and could make EPA's statements moot.
"I have not been particularly impressed of certain aspects of EPA modeling," said Joe Romm, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. "It looks to me like they've done what is easy for them to do, but isn't accurate."
At issue is the document's focus on a section of the House legislation prohibiting utilities from receiving more carbon allowances than what is "necessary to offset any increased electricity costs" to consumers. The text was added as part of a late compromise in the House to help bring more coal-state lawmakers from states like Missouri and Indiana on board.
Under a mandatory cap on greenhouse gases like the one called for by the House measure, businesses would have to hold a limited number of allowances matching their annual greenhouse gas output.
Green groups claim EPA analysis is incomplete
Yet the EPA analysis argues that enactment of the bill's ban against overallocation of allowances could be difficult because of the complexities in estimating electricity costs, among other things.
"The prohibition provision would be very difficult to implement because it would require a great deal of speculation," the EPA document states.
Many Midwestern utilities and their supporters jumped on the data and argued that companies in some states like California would get an unfair financial boost with climate legislation. Kirk Johnson, vice president of environmental policy at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), pointed to a chart created by EPA showing that coastal states fare far better than other ones in a mandatory climate regime.
A slew of utilities in the country's interior have been protesting the House bill since its passage. Recently, the Edison Electric Institute, which represents large investor-owned utilities and helped draft parts of the House bill, called for more free allowances to flow to these small generators in states like Ohio to bring them on board.
But Romm and supporters of congressional action on climate are questioning whether the EPA data are valid in the first place.
Romm said it was not clear, for example, whether the calculations of emissions of a state like California included imported electricity from coal-fired power plants in Arizona. The EPA assessment simply states that estimates were based on 2006-2007 "retail sales" of electricity.
Dan Lashof, director of the climate center at the Natural Resources Defense Council, made the same argument and added that the analysis appeared to have been put together rapidly.
Others noted that a prior analysis from M.J. Bradley & Associates LLC, an environmental consulting firm, found costs to Midwestern consumers would be minuscule under the House bill sponsored by Reps. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Edward Markey (D-Mass.).
At the same time, Lashof said the document might be EPA's way of saying "it's nervous about the language" and needs clarity. He suggested the Senate could "go a long way" toward resolving confusion on the issue by adding specific wording that no utility can get more allowances than its emissions….
EPA did not respond to criticisms from environmentalists about the document's methodology yesterday. But in an earlier statement, spokeswoman Adora Andy questioned the idea that the new document shows the House bill would take money from interior states and give it to coastal states. She pointed to a larger investigation of the House bill performed by the agency earlier this year.
"In fact, EPA's comprehensive analysis of the House-passed bill — an analysis that has been public since June — indicates that the bill would not impose hardship on any state," Andy said.
The lobbying push started after Feingold's office released the document to utilities in Wisconsin, which then began a mass e-mail chain. Feingold's office provided the original EPA analysis to E&E after variations of the text with attached commentary starting circulating among lobbyists last Friday.
"I have heard concerns from my constituents about how the climate change bill could unfairly impact Wisconsin. The data from the EPA was requested as part of my effort to learn as much as possible about the bill and ways to improve it. I look forward to working with the administration and my colleagues in the Senate to ensure we address the serious problem of climate change without unfairly hurting Wisconsin," Feingold said in a statement.
8 Responses to EPA analysis for Feingold appears doubly flawed: Climate bill allocations are not unfair to the Midwest
Am I mistaken or are the States with the highest electric bills those that have the most nuclear power plants?
Even if the EPA analysis was correct, it puts the average household electric bill increase at between $0 and $5 per month ($2 average), or $0 and $60 per year, average cost $24, more than offset for low income households. That's less than it costs the average teabagger to make one round-trip drive to their state capital to protest Waxman-Markey and scream about the end of the U.S. economy.
[JR: Yes, but this is just 2012.]
A bit more:
Farm industry leaders and their supporters in Congress are trying to derail climate change legislation by insisting that the House-passed bill, the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES), will cause ruinous increases in the costs of production for farmers. This threat is so potentially devastating, they claim, that climate change legislation should be shelved or loaded up with concessions that send more money to their agricultural
A more careful examination of the facts shows that climate change itself, not climate legislation, is the real threat to American agriculture, and that climate-induced crop losses will cost US taxpayers and farmers far more than could ever be caused by the ACES bill.
Doesn't it drive you nuts that people can manipulate stats in any way they want?

By the way, CP, after examining the ExxonMobil situation (please), we should also examine Koch.
Be Well,
Is there any provision in this bill to help the poor?
[JR: Lots of provisions, actually. Read the bill or even this blog before posting such inane comments.]
I read your blog and about the various iterations of the bills being considered – but the fact is at least in Maryland that these tragedies happen every winter-the energy assistance available to the poor is inadequate here. Tax credits don't help the unemployed. Last winter the situation became so dire, due to spiking rates in Baltimore that the state stopped turn offs until April 30, 2009, but there are people who have no power or heat going into the coming winter and this means tragedy are going to happen again. Why a description of facts on the ground in our inner cities strikes you as inane boggles my mind. People are truly suffering and will suffer more if prices rise and massive direct energy assistance in the form of cash grants are not provided to the poor.I haven't seen cash grants mentioned in these bills. Children die because of high energy prices – that is a fact in the real world, Joe.

About Hudson Ford
Though best known for their membership in The Strawbs, the rhythm section of John Ford (bass) and Richard Husdon (drums) worked together both before and after their '70 - '73 stint with the folk-prog band. Previously with Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera, and then The Velvet Opera, the duo moved on from the songwriting disputes of The Strawbs to form Hudson Ford in 1975. The two are well matched: in The Strawbs, Hudson would play low in the mix, often leaving the kit for entire songs to sing or play sitar, while Ford danced into the gap by playing a strongly precussive style of bass guitar. Their sound for Hudson Ford, though, ranged from McCartney-esque soft rock to glam, with a occasional nod to their electric folk past. Their roles broadened as well, with Hudson leaving the drums to others in order to focus on singing and lead guitar, and Ford expanding his vocal and acoustic guitar duties. The debut album "Nickolodeon" was bolstered by by the presence of Rick Wakeman and other studio sharpshooters, and the band scored a hit in the U.K. with the single "Pick Up the Pieces." Each successive album saw a dampening of their impact, though, and the two called it a day in 1977. Soon afterwards, though, the formed two more bands together: The Monks, and High Society. ~ Paul Collins, Rovi

Ballots for the June 26 primary election are now being collected in El Paso County, but the Clerk & Recorder's office is expecting several of the ballots to cause problems. Historically, about five percent of all ballots cast need special handling and interpretation before they can be counted.
The ballots were mailed Monday to all affiliated voters whose parties are conducting a Primary Election. This included voters whose status is active and inactive.
Unaffiliated voters who wish to receive a ballot by mail must declare a party by June 19.
According to the El Paso County Clerk & Recorder's office, the problem ballots are often related to voters using incompatible pen colors or failing to completely fill in the bubble.
The equipment that reads ballots cannot read votes cast using a red pen, highlighter or pencil. Permanent markers can also bleed through the paper and cause the machine to reject the ballots. The system is also unable to interpret lines or checkmarks used instead of completely filling the ovals.
Other common mistakes include spills, rips and mistakes on the ballot.
When errors occur, the ballot is taken to a board consisting of one Republican and one Democratic election judge. Their job is to interpret the ballot and duplicate it onto a clean copy that can be read by the election equipment.
To help clarify these instructions, the El Paso County Clerk & Recorder's office created this YouTube video:
After your ballot is complete, here are instructions for dropping it off to each of the seven locations:

I believe I was using this plugin from the early days of it. Then I rated it 5 stars. At this time, maximum I can give - 2 stars.
Please understand, that these ratings are not for the commercial "pro" version. We should rate plugin that is hosted here and it is not stellar anymore.
I've used this plugin since its early versions and although it needed some tweaking with almost every release to make it compatible with certain WP theme forms, it performed its spam filtration very well.
When version 2.0 was released, I did not update it after seeing the reference to the removal of the free license. With 2.0, the previous version, 1.9.3, had several of its options removed; supposedly, it works the same out of the box, while the author promotes his commercial alternative. As far as I'm concerned, 2.0 downgrades the effectiveness of the free plugin.
After keeping 1.9.3 as the active version, I am now getting lots of spam that is caught only because Akismet is installed. I'm suspecting that the license key mechanism used in versions prior to 2.0 is now broken, allowing spam comments to get through.
This plugin is currently a shadow of its former glory. I tried to be as objective as possible; for active blogs and publications, spam prevention is essential.
I tried and tried to get this plugin to work for me with no success. I believe I had it set up and registered properly, but saw no change in the number of spam comments I received.

High school football: Logan Grizzlies 2014 preview
Note: Logan finished with an 11-1 overall record in 2013 and was first in Region 5 with a 6-0 record. It lost to Olympus in the 4A quarterfinals.
LOGAN — It may be too early for Logan head coach Mike Favero to characterize the 2014 Grizzlies football team.
But that won't impact the expectations the veteran coach has for the squad that will include plenty of new faces in the starting lineup.
"The expectation for every team is always to win the region," Favero said. "I'm sure every team feels that way. The beauty of high school is that there is turnover. You have different puzzle pieces every year, and each year's team is trying to put that puzzle together."
Other coaches and the media expect a lot out of this mostly new group of players. While the coaches saw them as the second-best team in Region 5, the Deseret News chose them as region champions.
Favero isn't worried about preseason expectations — at all.
"Last year I think we were picked fourth in the preseason polls," he said. "As coaches, you know preseason polls carry zero weight. They're really just a compliment."
The trick, he said, is making sure teenage players understand that rankings have no bearing on what happens on the field.
Favero has nine varsity starters returning this season, but he'll be looking to fill key vacancies. One of the most noticeable spots will be at quarterback.
"If we played today, Kinkade Wildman would start for us," Favero said. The senior played weak safety for the team last year, but he did play quarterback in the team's last game of the season — a heartbreaking 23-21 quarterfinal loss to Olympus.
Wildman filled in after starting quarterback Chase Nelson was sidelined because of a penalty in the team's first playoff game that penalized him an additional game. Wildman finished that game throwing 22 of 36 for 260 yards and three touchdowns. Unfortunately, he also threw four interceptions.
But Wildman promises to help Logan continue to run an exciting, and sometimes unpredictable offense, because of his athleticism.
He'll have two veteran targets at wide receiver in senior Chad Artist and junior Harman Rector.
Unlike many smaller 4A schools, most of Logan's players do not play on both offense and defense.
"Just a handful of them," Favero said of two-way players. "My personal take on playing two ways is that is taking 22 potential starting positions and reducing them to 11. It's fewer spots to keep your players passionate and hungry."
He also feels it's difficult to run complex schemes when you ask players to be both offensive and defensive players.
"It's trick scheme-wise," he said. "How do you train a guy to be a two-way guy and get them to comprehend everything you're teaching?"
Favero is looking forward to seeing how his team comes together this season.
One of the most satisfying aspects to watch is how players "collectively" compete and how each athlete tries to reach his potential. Student-athletes become standouts as the season progresses.
"You just give kids an opportunity to be the best they can be," he said. "Ultimately, the film doesn't lie. The better players usually rise to the occasion. And typically, they're the kids who've worked hard." Favero said most teams feel they work hard, but he bases his plan on science and said it's designed to make individuals better, as well as the entire team.

Arsenal Message Board
what players should arsenal buy for next season
Hello All what new players should Arsenal buy to help us win the championship and the champions LGE next season with a good budget to buy some great new players Ideas pleaseSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
First i'm not a scout.. , So, i can't say, who should arsenal buy..I didn't suggest but just give the example.let me tell you a bout which position we need.
Attacking.. Someone to pair with Henry.. Center Forward like Michel Owen before RVP has enough experiance and to play 451 or 433.(Wenger try to play that way with Baryen but we don't have CF and right winger.So he use Pires as a R winger and what i found about Jose Reyes is not a winger he can't dribble like Freddie or Jenas)
Midfield.. We don't have skipper now.There is no other skipper on the world for now. We need midfield defense like Makelele because we use wingers. If we play like left midfielder and right midfielder who have defense skill , we can use normal Central Midfielder. We need another winger like Germane Jenas, He can play as winger in both 451 and 433 or 442.
Defense.. We need central defense who can rely on like Sol.Kolo? Good but not enough for a Champion in Europe and England.( I can't forget what happen with Baryen. he is good attacker. he may play as a midfield defender)
Right Defense.. Lauren is good attack supporter but not a good defender. We need right defender like Sagnyol(he's 28. Just an example).
A keeper.. Like Cameron International keeper who play in Espanyol.
One thing i wanna know. Why we shouldn't get Ballack.. I heard ManU offer only 7 mil..Even though he is not the best defensive like Viera, He has good defensive skill and one of the best attacking play maker. He is only 28. He is very strong and can play more than 2 year.
I hope..now David Dein will learn Name and prestige are also help to get more fans who give the money for them.

I don't think that Arsenal should run out and spend money on someone just to make a move. I am so happy that we didn't get Batista because his style didn't fit well and I like the two young kids in the middle. Was Bustista a 30 million upgrade over Flabini and Fabergasc? Absolutely not.
Goalkeeper is the most obvious problem. One more defenseman might be nice. I wouldn't mind a midfielder, but just a cheap short term older player to help the two youngsters.

striker should be bjorn zwikker from ajax
keeper should be paul harrison from liverpool or sebastian frey from roma

i think arsenal knows what is good for the club, cause it does`nt really mean we should get a well known players. But from all those local clubs, i think there are better, young, players which will even cost us less, but these players i dont know. double k.

I think Steed Malbranque, he is very skillful only 25

Overall, we need Zat Knight from Fulham to replace a big defensive presence that we lost in Viera, either Sanchez/GIven/PSV goalie for a new goalie cause Lehman f***in sucks. And I think Beaslie from PSV, man's crazy good and he's better than Ljunberg.
Arsene Wenger must be up to something... I wonder what though. Maybe this will be a rebuilding year, where you don't actually get the man you're looking for. Maybe Arsenal will push the youth system into the lineup, we all know Wenger likes to do that anyway...www.SoccerGossip.com

is he preparing for the new quota system where a certain qty of players must be from local or developed from local in the future?
hi, I believe Wenger has made the biggest mistake of his Arsenal managership, he sold too old Veira thinking that the signing of Baptista was a formality, now that it is obvious that will not take place, he has panicked and turned to an old age has been Guti to replace him, a player of same age as too old Veira, but a player who could not tie Veiras boots. I think and believe this is the start of the end for a great manager.

Since we do not have a big budget to buy players ,I suggest wenger should go to Brazil & look for a good promising striker.
As you can see all the strikers we wanted to buy were from Brazil the likes of Robinho,Bapsista
So its better to move early before they are recognised by other clubs

there have been very good players mentioned in previous posta in here but the problem are a few problems. Money is a big problem.... how can we compete with the chelseas the real madrids...
other problem is that all the problem we were linked with this season are now targeted by other teams which have more more than arsenal or are more famous ex: Robinho ; he was heavily linked with arsenal but as soon as real entered he forgot about arsenal.
same thing with sean wright philips and arsenal should forget about baptista now that barca have entered the list.
in my opinion they should get unsetteled liverpool striker MILAN BAROS... i agree that he hasnt performed that well for liverpool thats because he wasnt well supported by the liverpool midfield... i am pretty sure the chezk will be great up front with HENRY and also REYES and V. PERSIE are god fresh young talent to back them up and one day take their place.
Mr Arsene Wenger did a good thing to buy young talent we should give them time and you will see that in a couple of years they will be world class players. We shouldnt talk about selling them.
Arsenal are a strong team though i believe that replacing VIERA will be hard but he have to go on, buy a couple of good unexpensive players.
And i think that chelsea are doing wrong buy buying too many players they are just wasting money and many talented players will who wont get to play that much, chelsea wasnt a bad team untill mourinho came along.
just look at real madrid... so many class players yet they couldnt manage to win the league or the champs league
good luck arsenal

While we all cheered last year at the positive snake oil surprises of Roundtree et. al, we also remember McGuffie almost backing out on signing day. So, apart from the soft verbals of Graves and Jones, which would not be a surprise, are there any indications that we could have negative reverse snake oil surprises to previously committed players that we are not anticipating? Any rumors to that affect?

From what I can tell, the Ethereum blockchain just stores accounts and balances - why did the original Bitcoin developers choose the method of storing all transactions for validation instead of just account balances? It seems like that would reduce blockchain size on disk quite a bit...
Why does Bitcoin store all transaction inputs and outputs, instead of just an "account/balance" ledger?
In order to be sure that an address balance is correct, you need to check that all the transactions on that address are valid. So in order to generate a ledger that you trust, you must first download and verify the entire block chain.
Once you've done this, in principle, you could delete the block chain itself and just keep the ledger. However, remember that Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer system. So you keep the block chain so that new users can download it from you.
Exactly the same question was asked to a Bitcoin developer (Peter Todd) during the Bitcoin 2013 Conference.
You can watch his answer here
For those who are too lazy to watch the video the short answer is that they are doing it for security reasons.

Former board member sentenced for drugsJanuary 17,2013A former Hartford Select Board member was sentenced yesterday at U.S. District Court in Burlington for distributing hydrocodone in Vermont. Reginald Tatro, 63, was credited for time served and received one year of supervised release. According to court records, Tatro received a package of prescription pills the Hartford Village Post Office on Nov. 24, 2010. Police obtained a federal warrant, discovered hydrocodone and arrested Tatro.
Tatro was addicted to prescription pain medication and supported his habit by selling the drug in the Hartford area, according to prosecutors. He pleaded guilty at his arraignment last year. The case was investigated by the Southern Vermont Drug Task Force.MORE IN This Just In

Chapters 18 & 19 Summary and Analysis
Chapter 18 begins with a reproduction of a document titled "MCLEAN HOSPITAL NURSE'S REPORT OF PATIENT ON ADMISSION," with a 1:30 PM time stamp. The brief chapter then discusses Kaysen's initial psychiatric visit, which led to her commitment. She states that her interview lasted only fifteen to twenty minutes and that no professional could possibly have diagnosed her within that short period of time. The psychiatrist, however, maintains that their initial and only encounter lasted approximately three hours during which time Kaysen was often catatonic. Kaysen reconstructs a timeline, which indicates that the doctor was probably correct based upon the timestamp of the nurse's report. The chapter ends with a reproduction of a document titled "BELMONT MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITAL ADMISSION NOTE," with an 11:30 AM timestamp. Kaysen wonders whether she was admitted at 11:30 AM or 1:30 PM; if the earlier...

How do rates of endozoochory change across gradients of environmental variation, grazing intensity and herbivore body size? Is there evidence that plants experience a trade-off in successful germination in dung vs soil, and if so, are opposing strategies associated with traits indicative of evolutionary grazing history?
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania and a greenhouse in Birmensdorf, Switzerland.
We compared rates of seedling emergence from the dung of six grazing herbivore species and soil collected across an environmental gradient in the Serengeti; we experimentally exposed both dung and soil to smoke to test for the effects of breaking seed dormancy. We analysed overlap in plant composition of seedlings germinated from dung and soil and asked whether species found in dung (but not soil) or soil (but not dung) differed in traits that are associated with evolutionary grazing history, such as leaf height and seed head height.
Spatially, dung samples collected in the heavily grazed Serengeti plains contained more seeds than more northern sites. Median seedling emergence from dung varied among herbivores: hartebeest and wildebeest had the most, topi and zebra had intermediate numbers and Thomson's and Grant's gazelle the fewest, with Grant's gazelle dung being composed almost entirely of herbaceous dicots. Smoke failed to induce a germination response when applied to dung, but the composition of plant species germinating in 'dung only' or 'soil only' was surprisingly distinct. Moreover, seed head heights and leaf heights were shorter for plant species that germinated from dung compared to those that germinated from soil. Finally, the abundance of seeds germinating in dung and soil showed opposite patterns across the transition from short-grass, historically grazed sites in the south to tall-grass, fire-prone sites in to the north.
Together, our results suggest that some Serengeti plant species may be specialized to disperse via the dung of large herbivores. Consequently, endozoochory may be an important, and thus far overlooked, ecological process in Serengeti and in tropical savannas dominated by large herbivores more generally.

It does sound like a bug. You have to specify the flat qualifier for integral out variables, e.g.
flat uint DrawID;, so the compiler should have warned you about that.
Woah, thanks for the information!
Yeah I guess, giving me no error about that was a bug..
I added the 'flat' qualifier to both shaders with 'uint', and worked as intended.

The assessment of freshwater resources in a drainage basin is not only dependent on its hydrologic parameters but also on the socio-economic system driving development in the watershed area; the socio-economic aspect, that is often neglected in hydrologic studies, is one of the novelties of this study. The aim of this paper is twofold: (1) presenting an integrated working methodology and (2) studying a local case of a North African watershed where scarce field data are available. Using this integrated methodology, the effects of climate and land use change on the water resources and the economic development of the Tahadart drainage basin in Northern Morocco have been evaluated. Water salinization, tourism, urbanization, and water withdrawals are a threat to water resources that will increase with future climate change. The Tahadart Basin (Morocco 1,145 km2) is characterized by rain-fed agriculture and by the presence of two water retention basins. Assessment of the effects of climate and land use change on this drainage basin was based on current and future land cover maps obtained from spatial interactions models, climate data (current and future; scenario A1b for the period 2080–2100), and hydrological models for water budget calculations. Land use suitability maps were designed assuming a A1b Special Report on Emissions Scenarios socio-economic development scenario. The most important conclusions for the period 2080–2100 are the following: (1) Freshwater availability within the watershed will likely be affected by a strong increase in evaporation from open water surface bodies due to increased temperature. This increase in evaporation will limit the amount of freshwater that can be stored in the surface reservoirs. (2) Sea level rise will cause flooding and salinization of the coastal area. (3) The risk for drought in winter is likely to increase. The methodology used in this paper is integrated into a decision support tool that is used to quantify change in land use and water resources.

I would go with a Galco as well. However if I can wait, then I would go with a custom manufacturer for a few dollars more.

I bought a Ross holster from Brownells at a good price but it was poorly made. It was lined and in no time the lining was separating from the outside.
Galco makes good stuff but I always thought it was a little high priced.
For inexpensive holsters I usually go with Hume, but mostly I check Ebay for a used Kramer or similar and can find a good deal.

Of the three you listed I picked DeSantis. I have had good experience w/ them for my various Glocks. Although, I like my Fist #10 OWB better.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
I voted Galco, but BlackHawk is a good choice.
So far I have only one OWB holster. It's a Bianchi that is very comfortable to wear. This holster makes carrying my G26 seem as if it's not even there on my right hip between 2 & 5 o'clock. It cost around $70.00 which I consider is money well spent.

Of those choices...the Galco is one of the best made "factory" rigs out there. But I agree with Thumper too. That Kramer Horsehide Scabbard is hard to beat.

I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6!
I know there are lots of high quality leather holsters that are very comfortable to wear, but I've only had limited experience with leather so far. Right now I have the DeSantis Speed Scabbard for all my carry guns, and it is a very comfortable design, and rides very close to the body enabling me to conceal full size pistols. I also have a Blackhawk Compact Askins holster for my XD45, that is the holster that got me into leather holsters. I used to be a kydex person.
USMC rule # 23 of gunfighting: Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
I am the God fearing, gun toting, flag waving conservative you were warned about!
Galco are REAL nice. But they have been bought out by a British company and I have no idea if the quality will last.
Desantis are nice too. I've had a chance to meet with one of the owners. Good people.
If I were you though, I'd go with one of these smaller artisan guys if you can stand the wait.
Okay, in that list then I would say Galco. Mostly because its the only brand I own on the list.
I own Blackhawk CQC, Galco, Bianchi, Unclemikes, and a few no names. The two I use the most are Blackhawk CQC and Unclemikes. The next one I use is Bianchi. I dont use the Galco anymore.
I know not what this "overkill" means.

Young Jeezy details long-awaited 'TM: 103 Hustlerz Ambition,' featuring Jay-Z
The release for Young Jeezy's long-awaited "TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition" album has been pushed back about as many times as there have been "singles" from the set -- that is, four -- but now the rapper and Def Jam seem very comfortable and ready to drop the thing.
Snowman and his crew hosted a listening event in New York this week to unveil some more of those songs, and a very few journalists were thankfully on hand to archive the moment.
One thing you should know is this: Jeezy has already detailed the tracklist for "TM:103" via Twitter, but didn't detail what guests are featured on each. Another thing you should know is that there are plenty of guest features, as made known this week.
So now let us connect the dots.
According to MTV, Jill Scott performs on "Trapped" (produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League), Ne-Yo guests on "Leave You Alone" (produced by Warren G), and Fabolous and Jadakiss are both on "OJ." Jay-Z makes an appearance rapping about marriage on appropriately titled "I Do," and Andre 3000 helps out as well. Devin the Dude and Snoop Dogg, naturally, are on "Higher Learning."
Previously released single "Lose My Mind" feat. Plies appears to have made the cut, while tracks like "Ballin" feat. Lil Wayne have not.
Many outlets seemed enthused by album opener "Waiting," with Rolling Stone saying it "bursts with operatic swoons, big drums and bigger bass, as Jeezy not-so-gently attempts to take back his spot. He reintroduces himself, saying, 'the one you been waiting on…one of niggas talking this real sh*t,' not-so-veiled shots in Rick Ross' direction."
Sounds like Ross had better rest up.
"TM 103" is set for a Dec. 13 release; the Atlanta rapper's last "The Recession" came out in 2008
According to the Village Voice, here is what the tracklist for "TM:103" looks like:
Waiting (Intro)
Trap feat. Jill Scott
O.J. feat. Fabolous and Jadakiss
Leave You Alone feat. Ne-Yo
Smoke and Fuck
Supa Freak
Lose My Mind feat. Plies
Higher Learning feat. Snoop Dogg and Devin the Dude
Used to Have Nothing
I Do feat. Jay-Z and Andre 3000

Sunday was a sad day for metal fans as rock icon Ronnie James Dio passed away at the age of 67. He had been battling stomach cancer since last summer.
Ronnie James Dio was small in size, standing only 5 feet 4 inches, but he had one of the "most powerful and unique voices in rock music."
He is most famous for his role as frontman of Black Sabbath, replacing Ozzy Osbourne in 1979. At first, fans were reluctant to accept Dio as Osbourne's replacement, but Dio soon earned full respect with fans during the Heaven and Hell tour in 1980. The Heaven and Hell album, which Dio sang and wrote, was very successful and is known to have revitalized the band's career.
Dio is also known for forming the band Rainbow with guitarist Richie Blackmore in 1975, before Dio joined Black Sabbath. In the early 80s, Dio and drummer Vinny Appice left Sabbath after the "Live Evil" album, and together formed the band Dio.
The heavy metal vocalist and songwriter was born on July 10, 1942, to an Italian-American family. According to The Mercury, Dio grew up listening to opera and classical music. He also played the trumpet and French horn. "But when I heard Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple something touched me deep inside. That was my music. It spoke to me," Dio said in an earlier interview.
And according to a Charger forum on signonsandiego.com, Dio was also a fan of the San Diego Chargers. Dio fans reported to know people that have seen him at Charger games in the past.
In addition to his interest in sports, Dio was very active in charity fundraisers. Dio worked on musical projects to raise money for famine relief in Africa. According to Dio's Myspace, the project, known as Hear 'n Aid, raised $1 million within a year. Dio was also involved with a Los Angeles charity called "Children of The Night" which served to rescue children from drugs and prostitution.
On November 25, 2009, Wendy Galaxiola, Dio's 2nd wife and manager, announced that Dio was diagnosed with stomach cancer. She also reminded fans that he hoped to be "back on stage, where he belongs, doing what he loves best, performing for his fans."
Sadly, on May 16, 2010, Dio passed away at 7:45AM. Galaxiola said on Dio's website, "Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever."
On Sunday, May 30th, The Hall Of Liberty in Los Angeles will be hosting a Public Memorial Service for Dio at 2PM. It will celebrate both the life and music of Ronnie James Dio and is open to all friends and fans from around the world.

Guilty plea in 3 bank robberies
Posted August 15th, 2014 @ 6:30pm by Bud Lowell
Federal prosecutors say a former Rochester man pled guilty to three counts of bank robbery today.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says 41-year-old Christopher Matthew Mancuso either robbed or acted as the getaway driver in three Rochester-area bank robberies. They include the holdup of the Chase Bank branch on Lake Avenue in Charlotte in December....holdup of the Chase Bank on Dewey Avenue in Greece on January 17th...and the robbery at the First Niagara on Spencerport Road in Gates on January 31st.
Mancuso will be sentenced in Rochester on November 3rd.
He was caught thanks to a joint FBI....Greece Police....Gates Police investigation.


text:
I'm not Mr. Brommeland obviously:), but I do have two Wilderness belts: one 5 stitch Instructor 1.5" non-polymer, and a polymer-lined Frequent Flyer 1.25". While the polymer insert does make the belt stiffer than one would expect, it's not like it stays in a straight line or something when tightened instead of following the contours of one's waist with holster attached-mine doesn't behave that way by any means, and if it did, I don't think they'd sell too many of them. Go figure though.but they advised me that it is too stiff to wear with IWB concealment holsters because it cannot bend enough to follow the contours of the gun.
I've had the Instructor for 2 years now, with no meaningful signs of wear at all....same with the FF, and consider both of them some of my better firearm/CCW investments. As I mostly carry concealed and typically wear things over my waist area (sweater or square bottom shirt, etc.), my belts aren't normally seen anyway, so I personally prefer function over the nice looks of a good leather belt (especially including the infinite adjustment these kinds of belts offer).I use thier Frequent Flyer belt in tan (used two delrin rings for the "buckle" instead of the huge metal assembly of the Instructor) for just such occasions...despite being only 1.25", it still holds my 1911's up effectively if slightly less comfortably, and it makes a great jeans belt that doesn't scream "gun belt!" if you wear it when it can be seen.I'm pretty much in jeans everyday anyway so the "ultra casual" look of the 5 stitch belt wouldn't raise too many eyebrows.
FWIW, YMMV, IMO, blah, blah.

Campus Quality:
Georgetown is currrently under a lot of construction but it is still beautiful. The new Student Center is absolutely amazing and beautiful. There are also a lot of cool events that go on and speakers that come here.
Campus Quality:
Facilities are pretty crappy. I would say that's the one downside to this school. Our gym sucks- it's small, stuffy, and pretty outdated. I've seen high school gyms much more impressive. Our library is constantly being ranked as one of the ugliest buildings in the country, built in the brutalist style, and it's incredibly depressing looking. There's barely any green space, as we are a city campus and therefore very compact. There aren't many places to just hang out other than in a friend's room. They are working to improve all of this though. A new gym is being built, a new student center was just opened, and renovations are being done to the library. Let's hope campus is a lot more beautiful come next fall.
Campus Quality:
I love this campus. Most of the buildings are relatively new, and those that aren't have been well-maintained and have historical value (Lau notwithstanding). The campus breeds a sense of history and gives students a sense of shared experience within tradition that spurs a unified student body. My only real concern is the increasing lack of green space on campus, as new building continue to crop up.
Campus Quality:
The campus is a very open space. All the facilities are modern and up to date with technology. There are a lot of areas for students to study, hang out, etc.
Campus Quality:
We have almost no beautiful places in which to study--just one hideous library.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
It is difficult to get much of a consensus on the quality of Georgetown's facilities. Athletic Hoyas decry the outdated state of the Main Campus gym but admit that it gets the job done. Participants in the Corp praise their offices and retail spaces, and performing arts groups are appeased by their ample space in the new Davis Center. Despite Georgetown's relatively low endowment, as compared to many of its peer universities, the University is currently working hard to improve facilities in many different disciplines.
The few problems with facilities on campus should not cause potential students to quake in their boots—it is never wise to base one's college decision on the quality of the gym or the prospect of having antique Italian furniture in one's dorm room. Georgetown is working hard to improve many of the campus facilities. Recently, Georgetown has dedicated itself to developing excellent, new, and improved facilities. The new science center, business school, New South student center, and forthcoming library renovations are all examples of massive improvement to the facilities.

GUYMON, Okla.- Harvey A.J. Huls, 71, died Friday, March 16, 2001.
Services will be at 2 p.m. today in Grace Southern Baptist Church with the Rev. Aaron Summers, pastor, and Don Taylor officiating. Military graveside services will follow in Elmhurst Cemetery. Arrangements are by Bunch-Roberts Funeral Home of Guymon.
On June 15, 1952, Mr. Huls was united in marriage to Ozema Mayhan in Felt, Okla., following his service to his country during the Korean Conflict in the U.S. Army. In May 1969, the family moved to Guymon from Boise City, where he went into partnership with E.C. Patton and formed their own mechanic shop, P&H Auto Repair.
Survivors include his wife of almost 49 years, Ozema; two children, Harvey Leon Huls of Tishomingo and Sherril Kisner of Albuquerque, N.M.; a sister, Rosa Fishgrab of Bosque Farms, N.M.; and five grandchildren.
The family suggests memorials be to Grace Southern Baptist Church or the American Cancer Society. Memorials will be accepted at the funeral home.

Grand Rapids police catch a pig, post him online
Published: Monday, August 26, 2013 at 7:03 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 26, 2013 at 7:03 a.m.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — To serve and protect is a common police motto. In western Michigan, it extends even to pigs.
Grand Rapids police say they rescued a 6-month-old pig named Ramone on Thursday. The pet got away from his home in the city's Eastown neighborhood and approached Officer Jeremy Huffman.
Huffman put the porker in the back seat of a squad car. Grand Rapids police posted a picture on its Facebook page, where it's received more than 1,000 "likes" and more than 100 comments.
Please hold the jokes. The department says it's heard them all.

Pontus Gunve Album Has Been Released
The new album from Pontus Gunve has been officially released today. The album is entitled, "The Observer" and it was recorded under the project name of "PHWG."
May 7th, 2013, New York, New York – The new album from Pontus Gunve has been officially released today. The album is entitled, "The Observer" and it was recorded under the project name of "PHWG."
NYC-based guitarist, composer and technologist Pontus Gunve's music embraces the theory that music is a multi-dimensional experience and an adventure in wordless storytelling that fully absorbs the audience. Flowing through time and space, the sonic textures he creates evoke the ethereal landscapes of other-worldly multi-media artists like Jean Michel Jarre and Boards of Canada while still clearly inspired by the thick, dark compositional textures of legendary heavy metal bands like Megadeth.
Gunve was first fully gripped by his passion for music when he saw Jean Michel Jarre's Rendezvous Houston: A City in Concert on television as a child growing up in Sweden. Blown away by Jarre's all-encompassing high-tech stage show and the endless layers of his album Oxygene, Gunve began to explore the capabilities of computers to create different sounds and textures. His fascination with rock music led him to electric guitar, which he began to study voraciously, simultaneously imagining ways to expand its boundaries. At the same time, he experimented with sequencing and learned how to build computer and synthesizer modules that could be used practically during performances and on recordings.
Early reviews for the album have been quite positive. Giving it an extremely high numeric rating, Larry Toering said at Mr. Music Chronicles "Pontus HW Gunve is yet another great progressive rock artist on the scene that is full of everything it takes to fit that category and then some, with complex arrangements that border on Space Rock factors combined with Indian themes in the music, which is all there is to it, being an instrumental band as such. The music pulsates a lot of these elements throughout The Observer, and it's yet another delight to simply rave about. These tracks all work together seamlessly, yet they carry enough differences to also enjoy separately, rather than together, as where progressive rock normally doesn't break up quite this well. That is one of the best things about this album, you really can enjoy it track by track without having to necessarily hear it all as one. The Indian drums really carry a percussive vibe that holds it altogether. But the string arrangements are what mostly dominate the recording...I was blown out of my seat at first listen, and that is just something that usually doesn't happen with me. A good thing indeed it is, though. I just love how the beauty of it all has a head on collision with the ears, leaving them enormously satisfied, and how that increases with every listen. The instrumentation backs the lead guitar work so well it almost seems as much in the forefront. There is just no describing the sheer quality on offer here. It's something one must hear for themselves to really dig into properly, so it comes highly recommended…
In a review to be published in the upcoming issue of Music Street Journal, Jason Hillenburg said of the disc, "There are few musicians in the mold of Pontus Gunve. Rarely content to rely on the traditional, but instead plundering it for his own uses, Gunve brings a European sensibility to dense, intensely musical instrumentals. His album, The Observer, ranks as one of the most challenging and, ultimately, rewarding releases of the year."
Scott Kahn had this to say of the single "Cavalry of Camels" at MusicPlayers.com:

This study is aimed at assessing the state of Philippine secondary school physics education using data from a nationwide survey of 464 schools and 767 physics teachers and at identifying challenges for substantive improvements. Teacher-related indicators revealed academic qualification deficiency, low continuing professional involvements, substantial physics teaching experience, and good licensure status. Academic environment indices revealed that the number of physics classes per teacher is manageable, but the individual classes are large. Results also showed limited instructional materials and technologies, the unpopularity of professional mentoring, and favorable library and internet access. Based on these findings, challenges to developing a larger pool of competent physics teachers and equipping schools with relevant instructional devices were identified.

Mission and History
Mission Statement
The Department of Theatre Arts provides a rich, fertile environment, with great teachers who will nurture, mentor, and provide opportunities for our students, helping them to reach their creative potential. Our liberal arts curriculum in our undergraduate theatre program will allow our students to view the world through a theatrical lens while developing academic and creative tools that will help them succeed in any endeavor. Our graduate programs in Theatre Arts and Performance Theory give students a rich, rigorous academic environment and advanced practical training to prepare them for careers in the academy and in various theatre professions.
The Department of Theatre Arts is dedicated to exploring and supporting work that is relevant, and stays true to the spirit of collaboration and experimentation. Students attending Stony Brook University take a range of practical courses in acting, directing, playwriting, dramaturgy, design, and technical theatre. In addition students can elect to take courses in improvisation, voice, movement, mask work, puppetry and Eastern acting styles, and innovative offerings in prevention through the arts and community based-performance. Classes in new technologies and social media for the stage and other performance venues are offered as well.
The department also offers courses in theatre history and theory that provides a basis for understanding theatre from the points of view of the performer, spectator, and society at large. History courses range from the Greeks to the present, including the history of film. The theoretical perspective is that of cognitive science, an interdisciplinary approach that gives students the opportunity to explore the art and science of human experience.
In addition to the theatre major, we offer a media minor that explores, interfaces, and complements the major study of performance in the fields of both broadcast and interactive media. The department recognizes the theater major or minor as an apt complement to a study in the technical or natural sciences. The department recognizes that a strong science and research institute needs to provide a laboratory for experiments in the arts and a direct interface between art and technology, providing students with valuable life experience.
We provide students with a balance of practical theatre opportunities. Each year the department mounts three different productions. Two are plays from the contemporary and classical repertoire. The third is an ensemble creation based on concepts that challenge traditional narratives, and invite interaction with those training in the other arts areas. There are also numerous opportunities to perform in the Cabaret, a graduate-run performance lab, the Student Arts Festival, or with other student theatre and improvisation groups.
Stony Brook University's location within commuting distance to New York City provides students with opportunities offered through Theatre in New York courses, as well as professional internships. For those who prefer to stay closer to home, the Department of Theatre Arts curates the Staller [Off] Center new performance series, bringing to campus some of the most compelling and experimental works in the country. Summer opportunities are available for students to take workshops and classes at the university's Manhattan and Southampton campuses where important performers regularly teach, such as Anna Deveare Smith and Rinde Eckert. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of study abroad, exploring the arts in international settings.
