Angie's Answers
Could be held on with concealed mirror fasteners (usually a clip or notched "button" design, with very litle showing outside the mirror, or none showing if has trim around it, or with large dabs or swipes of mirror adhesive or liquid nails. The former leaves minimal damage when removed - no more than a heavy duty picture hanger, the latter leaves divots in drywall, as you surmised, and holes in the drywall if a piece of plywood is not used as a prypoint when prying it off.
If you want to try to save the mirrors, then a glass and mirror installer is needed - they can remove them from the hangers, or cut the adhesive with wire saw - though that will add probably 2-3 hours labor per room. Then you would need a painter who also does minor drywall repairs.
If not saving the mirrors, then I suspect you could get a Handyman to pop them off, repair the divots, and repaint. Otherwise, a Painter would probably be glad to do it and repair the damage and repaint - just be prepared for a hefty charge for duct tape - like $100-200, because that is the best way to do this - duct tape the surface completely, pry the mirrors off (commonly breaking them), then cut through the tape to make pieces of glass manageable and of a size to fit in garbage can or box for hauling out. Be sure to emphasize PLYWOOD protection for floors, overlain by canvas or plastic, when removing the mirrors - drop a good sized piece and you have significant flooring damage.
Here is a prior response for a similar situation, including the same suggestions about removal, but also a bunch of ideas of how to leave the mirrors and cover or integrate them - which can be a LOT cheaper than paying a two-man crew for a day to remove mirrors, depending on solution you choose.
this is probably a quarter to full days job to remove depending on how fastened and if saving or not, so about $200-800 range. Drywall repair and painting probably about another $150-250 range, so ballpark numbers - pushing $300-400 if mirrors come off easy (bracketed) or can be scrapped, more like a thousand $ if saving mirrors.
I apologize for my delay. It sounds like you'll need the services of a contracting company. After you've signed in to www.angieslist.com, try searching "Remodeling - General" using the "Search the List" tab in the main green navigation bar.

Your Search the List category is Glass and Mirrors - the Speedy Glass type company that does home and auto glass replacement.
If the glass is held in with window putty (a doughy tan or white putty) or by a wood trim piece all around it pinching it in place, then you can probably fix it yourself for about $15 piece of glass at a glass replacement place or somehome improvement/lumberyards.
If the glass is multiple-pane, or encased in a metal frame, then not easy to do yourself, though in some situations with single-pane you could remove the glass mounting frame entirely, use larger glass, and install with window putty. Double or triple pane you need then to fabricate a new "glazing unit" for you - the glass layers all enclosed in the metal encasing unit.If you are going to pay for that, might as well have them put it in too.

May 6, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House is threatening to veto the House version of a massive, 5-year farm bill, saying food stamp cuts included in the legislation could leave some Americans hungry.
The House is preparing to consider the bill this week. The legislation would cut $2 billion annually from food stamps and make it harder for some people to qualify for the program. That is around 3 percent of current spending.
The Obama administration said in a statement that food stamps are "a cornerstone of our nation's food assistance safety net." The White House argued that the House should make deeper cuts to farm subsidies like crop insurance instead. The bill, which costs nearly $100 billion a year, would save a total of about $4 billion annually, including the food stamp cuts.

Mike 'You Know' Fontenot
- Wednesday July 2nd – AT&T Park
- Game (85): Cubs 6 – Giants 5
- Record (51-34) – 1st place NL Central
- Soriano Saga – (9-10)
The skinny: This one makes no sense.
Ryan Dempster pitches six innings of two-run, seven strikeout baseball and leaves with a no-decision.
Carlos Marmol then enters in relief, allows a game-tying three-run jack, but gets the win.
And to top things off, it's little Mike "you know" Fontenot who goes deep in the eighth to put the Cubs back on top 6-5.
The blast gives Fontenot three home runs in his past six games played, which is interesting for a guy who slugged just three home runs in 86 games played last year.
Speaking of the long ball, how about another dinger for Edmonds, this time a two-run shot in the sixth.
That gives Jimmy eight home runs with the Cubbies and six blasts in his last 11 ballgames.
I've said it plenty of times, but I love what Edmonds is doing as a Cub and especially with the team's health in dire straights.
What's more impressive is Edmonds regaining his form at the plate while also dealing with a sore arch in his left foot.
Say what you will about the former Cardinal, but I'll always support a player who plays through pain and produces.
Also, since early May I've said the Cubs need an alternative in the bullpen to Marmol.
Mainly, at the time I was concerned with Carlos's durability holding up throughout the second half of the season.
Instead, it appears Marmol is dealing with a dip in self confidence and not his durability.
Either way, it's imperative Bob Howry takes over some setup duties while Marmol get situated between his ears, which is a condition Marmol has yet to face in Chicago.
The bottom line is the Cubs still won and keep its opportunity alive to take three of four on the road tomorrow.
Marmol (2-3) – Wood (21)
Walker (3-4)
- Notes: Chicago evened its record in one-run games at (13-13).
- Through eight road starts this season Ryan Dempster is still without a win.
- Dempster's last road win came more than two years ago at St. Louis with Chicago winning 5-4.
- Not to mention, Ryan's last road win as a starting pitcher dates all the way back to April 16th 2005 with the Cubs winning another one-run ballgame beating Pittsburgh 4-3.
- Entering June Carlos Marmol sported a 1.75 ERA in a hefty 36 innings pitched.
- However, in the last two weeks Marmol has allowed nine runs during his past six outings.
- Kerry Wood hasn't allowed a run in 15 of his past 16 appearances.

Police are looking for a man who walked into a convenience store in Colorado Springs and held it up at gunpoint Sunday morning.
Springs police were called to the 7-Eleven at the corner of Monterey Road and Shasta shortly after 5 a.m. They say a white man wearing a mask and a heavy black coat pulled a gun on the clerk and demanded money. He got away with money and two cartons of cigarettes, and fled the area before police got to the area.
The robbery remains under investigation.

Sothoryos is a continent that lies to the southeast of Westeros and due south of Essos, across the Summer Sea. Sothoryos is located in the extreme south of the known world. It is mostly unexplored.
The inhabitants of Sothoryos are ethnically quite distinct from the peoples of Westeros and Essos. In contrast to the light-skinned and blonde-haired Andals of Westeros or the Valyrians of Essos, the inhabitants of Sothoryos are notably dark-skinned - more so than the copper/light-brown appearance of the Rhoynar, Dothraki, or Ghiscari of Slaver's Bay.
Numerous islands dot the northern coast of Sothoryos. These have been mapped, and the main island chain is known as the Basilisk Isles. West of the Basilisk Isles is the large island of Naath, whose musically-inclined inhabitants are famed for their devotion to pacifism. These islands are frequently raided for captives by ships from Slaver's Bay, which is located across the Summer Sea to the north.
The Summer Islands are known to lie off the northwestern coast of Sothoryos, far west of Naath.
Season 1
When an assassination attempt is made on Daenerys Targaryen in Vaes Dothrak, she says she thought King Robert Baratheon would leave her alone after her brother Viserys Targaryen died. Ser Jorah Mormont then explains to her that as the last Targaryen, King Robert's agents will never stop hunting her no matter how far she flees, even if she goes to Asshai or the Basilisk Isles.[1]
Season 2
The far northern coast of Sothoryos appears in the title sequence once it changes to start including Qarth. Xaro Xhoan Daxos says he is originally from the Summer Islands, but rose to become a wealthy merchant leader in Qarth.[2]
Season 3
Missandei is a young slave girl from the island of Naath in Sothoryos who serves as a translator to her masters in the city of Astapor in Slaver's Bay.[3]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the northern coast of Sothoryos lies a few hundred miles south of Slaver's Bay and Valyria. This coastline and its cities was devastated in the Doom of Valyria four hundred years ago, which triggered tsunamis and tidal waves that inundated the coastlands. The ruins of the once-great cities of Zamettar and Yeen can still be seen near the coast.
Sothoryos appears to consist of deserts and jungles, and is home to certain species of hairy ape. Little else about it is known.
Sothoryos is loosely analogous to Africa, as Essos is to Eurasia. According to George R.R. Martin, Sothoryos is unexplored and largely unknown to the peoples living in the Seven Kingdoms and the Free Cities. What few parts they have visited on the northern coast are filled with plague-ridden jungles. The people of Sothoryos tend to be dark-skinned and many, such as the vegetarian and musically inclined inhabitants of Naath, are quite peaceful (the Naathi are vegetarians because they refuse to harm any living thing, even animals). Unfortunately this has made them prime targets for the slaving operations of the cities in nearby Slaver's Bay. As a result, it is not unusual to see dark-skinned peoples in Essos, either as slaves in Slaver's Bay, or those who won their freedom and went on to become merchants, pirates, mercenaries, etc.
On the title sequence map the north coast of Sothoryos is apparently wholly located in the Summer Sea. However, when George R.R. Martin altered his maps for The Lands of Ice and Fire (a companion map collection for the novels, not the TV series) he adjusted this so Sothoryos is now located at the southwestern end of the Jade Sea. The large island of Great Moraq lies in the western opening of the Jade Sea, between Essos and Sothoryos. The north coast of Great Moraq is divided from Essos by the Straits of Qarth, while the south coast of Great Moraq is divided from Sothoryos by the Cinnamon Straits.
The names "Sothoryos" and "Sothoros" have been used somewhat inconsistently in the books. A problem is that the continent as a whole is rarely referred to by name, because almost none of the narrative takes place there. Characters from regions of the continent most often simply refer to specifically what region they are from. In the fourth novel, for example, the name "Sothoryos" is only used in-text four or five times. The few text references have alternated between "Sothoryos" and "Sothoros" (leaving out the "y"). Meanwhile, all maps have consistently used the spelling "Sothoryos" (in A Feast for Crows, A Dance with Dragons, and The Lands of Ice and Fire), though past maps have been known to include spelling errors. Moreover, on two separate occasions George R.R. Martin has answered Q&A about the continent (in 2002 and 2012), and in these cases Martin himself used the spelling "Sothoryos".[4]
Elio Garcia (aka "Ran"), the founder of Westeros.org and co-author of The Worlds of Ice and Fire book with George R.R. Martin, weighed in on the issue: "Sothoryos" is indeed the correct spelling, and as of 2012 this is the spelling that Martin uses in all of his correspondence and maps. "Sothoros" only appeared a few times because either Martin wavered on the spelling earlier in the series, or it was an error in the editing process, but Martin has officially settled on "Sothoryos" as the proper spelling.[5]

The Deluxo is a fast 80s-like sports car, which appears in only Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
The Deluxo is based on the DeLorean DMC-12, although various differences may be noted, including taillights more reminiscent of Ferrari's dual circular taillights from many of its 1970s and 1980s models, headlights and body shape similar to those of a Renault Alpine GTA/A610, and a wider spectrum of body colors. The Deluxo is best suited for street racing due to its excellent handling and acceleration, however, it does not withstand damage well. As with most vehicles in the series, the Deluxo has rear wheel drive.
The Deluxo is a fast car, but its speed is not on par with the Infernus, and the Cheetah. The engine has the same sound as the Infernus in GTA Vice City, so it is possibly a V8 as well. The vehicle's braking is pretty good and responsive, and handling is pretty satisfactory. The only drawback that this car has is it's extreme fragility. It won't stand up to a large number of crashes. Also, the vehicle tends to lose control when barely hitting objects at high speeds.
- The trip skip icon used in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas features the side profile of a Deluxo. The car is otherwise absent in-game. It may be a reference to the film series Back to the Future, which features a DeLorean-based time machine.
- There is a mod for GTA III which re-implements the Deluxo.
GTA Vice City
- Parked inside Sunshine Autos after completing the first list for the import garage.
GTA Vice City Stories
- Found at InterGlobal Films (sometimes appears in place of the Stinger).
- Parked in front of Gonzalez's apartment at Ducum Inn.
- Parked in Ocean Beach near the bridge going to the fairground.

Kurt Mix's trial was scheduled to start June 10, but U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval Jr. agreed to reschedule it for Dec. 2 to give Mix's attorneys more time to review millions of government documents related to the case.
Mix, a resident of Katy, Texas, pleaded not guilty last year to two counts of obstruction of justice.
Justice Department prosecutors claim he deliberately deleted more than 200 text messages to and from a supervisor and more than 100 to and from a BP contractor to prevent them from being used in a grand jury's probe of the spill. Mix also allegedly deleted about 40 voicemails from the supervisor and roughly 15 voicemails from the contractor.
In a court filing Friday, Duval also had some firm words for attorneys.
Prosecutors told Duval that a lawyer for Mix emailed a potential government witness and claimed he wouldn't be called to testify if he spoke to defense attorneys.
"The court advised counsel for defendant that such contact constituted overreaching and was not to happen again," the judge wrote, warning of sanctions if it does.
"As an aside," the judge continued, "the court notes that it has never seen such vituperative and condescending behavior and palpable rancor as displayed by some of the attorneys on each side.
During a hearing Tuesday, one of Mix's lawyers urged Duval to sanction prosecutors for allegedly withholding evidence in the case. Mix's attorney, Joan McPhee, claimed prosecutors failed to turn over sworn statements by BP executives and a Coast Guard record that rebut allegations Mix tried to mislead the government about the rate that oil was flowing from BP's blown-out well.
Justice Department Derek Cohen denied withholding evidence. He offered to provide Mix's attorneys with unfettered access to a database containing roughly 37 million documents related to the investigation.
They accepted that offer and asked for more time to review the records.

In a move that could result in millions of dollars in penalties and refunds, Connecticut officials have sued Best Buy, accusing the giant electronics retailer of deceiving and cheating its customers using a secret in-store computer network.
Consumer Protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell Jr. said Thursday that he believes the suit will result in a ``multimillion dollar case'' against the Minnesota-based chain, which has 10 outlets in Connecticut.
Farrell said he and state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal offered to settle the case for several million dollars, but Best Buy, insisting it did not do anything to warrant such punishment, refused the offer.

Nice style - it looks authentically primitive, and I'm liking the names.
I notice this is in the finished maps section, but I hope you are still open to suggestions.
I'd say, first, the wood looks rather fresh and new. If you were able to age it a bit (make it darker, give it a rough-ish texture). Second, could you run a displacement filter over the burnt lines? That would make it look like the lines are burnt into the bumpy surface of the wood, which it doesn't quite do, at the moment. Displacement filters are a bit trickier than other PS filters, but if you don't know about them I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials online. Third (and probably less important) what about replacing the white background with something (eg wooden wall planks, dirt/stone floor).

Contemporary evolution
Fundulus heteroclitus, a fish taxon often used in toxicology research. Source: NOAA
Rapid environmental change, whether human induced such as fishing and hunting pressures, toxic chemicals, or natural climatic changes resulting in altered food availability have provided opportunities to observe rapid microevolutionary changes in contemporary time, or contemporary evolution. These are population level changes which tend to occur over a few centuries or much less time (depending on the species) and may be observed after only a relatively small number of generation cycles depending on the species. Well known examples of contemporary evolution include pesticide and antibiotic resistance. Yet we now know that animals other than pest species can evolve in response to rapid environmental change (including chemical expsoures).
However distinguishing rapid, adaptive genetic change from phenotypic plasticity (altered phenotypic expression of a single genotype in response to environmental change – or nongenetic change) can be difficult, particularly in longer-lived species with long generation times, without rigorous analysis such as detailed studies of genetic markers (specific and well characterized portions of the genome) or long-term studies of isolated populations. Phenotypic plasticity has some advantages over genetic adaptation in that plastic phenotypes have a greater potential to reverse should conditions revert – although genetic adaptation has been observed to reverse as well. Sometimes the distinction becomes less important as phenotypic plasticity may eventually contribute to adaptive genetic change by providing some of the variabiilty upon which selection may act.
Selected examples of contemporary evolution
Historical Studies
Peppered Moth, Lodz, Poland (Source Jerzy Strzelecki, via Wikimedia Commons) One of the best documented examples of genetic adaptive change in response to human activity are the peppered moths of industrial England. As industries in England increasingly burned coal, the wild-type (more prevalent) light colored moths which settled onto tree trunks became more susceptible to bird predation as trees became darkened with soot. The frequency with which dark morphs of the peppered moths appeared in local populations rapidly increased. The dark-light morphs are heritable traits – meaning that changes in frequency was the result of rapid genetic adaptation. Interestingly as industrial emissions were reduced, moth populations eventually reverted back to the light-colored morph. Darwin's finches (Geospiza fortis and Geospiza scandens), studied by Peter and Rosemary Grant provide another classic example of rapid adaptation in response to environmental change caused by fluctuations in climate, which altered available food. Over a 30-year period the Grant's observed two species of Galapagos finches on Daphne Island, and found that populations experienced various episodes of genetic adaptation resulting in altered beak morphology and body size in response to food availability.
Evolution in response to chemical contamination
More recently studies of two different fish species exposed to industrial contaminants (polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins or similar classes of chemicals) over multiple generations have evolved resistance in their response to these and other like-acting chemicals. Studies involving over twenty distinct killifish populations (Fundulus heteroclitus) along the eastern United States by Diane Nacci, Andrew Whitehead and others demonstrate similar functional adaptations in one of the main receptors (the aryl hydrocarbon receptor or AhR) involved in the response to these chemicals. Additionally, a population of Atlantic tomcod (Microgadus tomcod) residing in the Hudson River, NY has also been identified as evolving a type of AhR resistance. In both instances resistance is the product of genetic adaptation. In the case of the killifish – distinct populations were maintained and bred under the same laboratory conditions for generations (essentially a type of "common garden experiment" which is designed to eliminate confounding by environmental conditions) enabling researchers to distinguish between plasticity as a result of local environment – and genetic adaptation. In the tomcod, a specific change in the genes encoding the AhR has been identified, which in turn alter the amino acid structure, and consequentially the PCB binding ability of the receptor.
As mentioned above, there are numerous examples of evolution in pest species in response to pesticides, and in bacteria in response to antibiotics.
The Future
There is a great deal of interest in contemporary evolution (for reviews see the reading list below). Since populations may respond rapidly to overfishing or hunting pressure - understanding such rapid evolution may be useful for population managers. In addition to PCBs and like-acting chemicals animals are known to evolve resistance to industrial metal contamination and of course, pesiticides. While rapid evolution has been observed in just a few vertebrate species to date, it is likely that more species will be identified as more attention is focused on this phenomenon.
As humans continue to change the world's environment, teasing apart which species are likely to become resistant to rapid change (including industrial chemicals, climate change, or other environmental changes) will enable better prediction of which species will most likley be affected (and, in the worst case go extinct), and which species will most likely survive such changes.

Skaneateles UPDATED 8/23/13 at 6 p.m.: town Democratic party caucus results added.
Town supervisor and two town board seats up for election in Skaneateles will be contested on Nov. 5.
The Skaneateles Party, a local party independent of any national affiliation, announced today that it has filed the petitions with Onondaga County Board of Elections to have three candidates appear on the ballot in November.
Its candidates will be Mary Sennett for town supervisor and Connie Brace and Claire Howard for town councilor.
Earlier this year the town Republican committee announced its candidates for office: Jim Greenfield for supervisor and Rick Keyes and Steve McGlynn for councilor.
Two-term supervisor, and Republican, Terri Roney has chosen not to run for re-election, so Greenfield was nominated to run. He is a current member of the town board elected in 2011 to a term through the end of 2015.
Keyes and McGlynn are also current board members who will seek re-election.
In order to qualify for the November ballot, the Skaneateles Party had to collect more than 400 signatures of residents, according to a press release from the party.
The Skaneateles Party was first founded in 1989 when it provided candidates for town office just that year. Two of its candidates, Ed Bettis and David Robinson were elected to the town board and were on the board in 1996 when a joint village and town comprehensive plan was first adopted.
Sennett is a currently a trustee on the Skaneateles village board. She was elected to a four-year term in 2011. She is also a former vice-chair of the town zoning board of appeals.
Brace is an architect and Associate Partner at QPK Design in Syracuse, the firm hired by the village to design the renovations done to 26 Fennell St., the new village hall.

ASHBURN, Va. (WUSA) - Students and teachers at Sanders Corner Elementary in Ashburn returned to school Monday for the first time since the loss of their principal.
Principal Kathleen Hwang was more than just a boss to Assistant Principal Beth Cipriano.
"She helped mold me into the leaders that I am today. She encouraged me to seek my degree and she mentored me the whole way," said Cipriano.
The two worked together for the last seven years.
But now Beth's in charge of her mentor's memorial, which is growing by the minute outside Sanders Corner Elementary.
George Milar's 9-year-old son is one of the dozens of students who have left letters here for their Principal:
"Dear Mrs. Hwang...you were the best Principal I could have ever imagined."
So how do you explain to such young kids why the best principal would be taken from them?
"It's difficult....Tell them to be thankful for the time that we had her here with us....God had other plans for her and I'm sure she will be helping and educating people wherever she goes," Milar said.
Last Wednesday, the principal had been trying to cross Whitewater Drive, but Sheriff's Deputies say she couldn't see the SUV that was coming around this corner. She was hit. She died almost instantly. But the 18-year-old male driver who hit her has not been charged with any crime.
"She leaves a lasting legacy of professionalism of caring of kindness. There will be a big void in our lives, but we know that Kathy would want us to carry on," said Carol Winters, Interim Principal and friend of Hwang.
Principal Hwang is survived by her husband, daughter, and grandchildren.

Rubber Soul Yoga Studio Carbonfree® For Fifth Year
Want more proof that businesses of any size can make a difference in our environment, our communities and our overall well-being? Consider Rubber Soul Yoga Studio in Athens, Georgia, as they renew their commitment to maintaining a Carbonfree® studio for the fifth consecutive year.
In addition to soothing and healing mind and body, Rubber Soul works to raise awareness about the urgency of climate change by showing documentaries, discussing lifestyle choices, and encouraging personal and political transformation at their studios.
"Rubber Soul encourages non-violence in every aspect of one's life. We can reduce our impact and offset the rest," asserts Cal Clements, Director of Rubber Soul & Adventure Club. "Carbonfund.org has offset projects in India, the birthplace of yoga."
To augment their Carbonfree® studio, the folks at Rubber Soul have replaced the paper towels in the bathroom with red automotive towels, which Cal washes each week. They quietly encourage a vegan/vegetarian diet, since industrial food processes are a big contributor to greenhouse gases. Rubber Soul is also a donation studio, where class participants pay what they can. Cal believes that making less money and therefore spending less money creates a lighter load on the planet. These actions and beliefs, coupled with the Carbonfree® commitment, help Rubber Soul achieve the differences they seek to make in the lives of their class participants and their greater community.
Global Warming May Impact the American Sweet Tooth
Americans eat a lot of sugar. According to a 2012 infographic from www.OnlineNursingPrograms.com, we consume about 130 pounds of sugar each year. And when I say sugar, I don't just mean sugar from sugar cane. I am referring to corn syrup, which is used to sweeten our favorite soft drinks, of which the average American drinks 53 gallons per year. That sounds bad, and it is, but brain scans show that sugar is addictive as cocaine. Well, our national addiction is in major trouble from climate change.
Corn is the biggest agricultural crop in the U.S. It's a $65-billion-a-year industry and global warming is putting it at a significant risk. A report released this week by Ceres, a coalition of investor and environmental groups, says that corn is at risk because its water demands are growing at a time when the threat of drought is increasing. Ceres said corn production particularly is in danger due to its tapping stressed aquifers as a water source. A couple that are especially relied upon are the High Plains aquifer, which covers eight Great Plains states, and the Central Valley aquifer in California.
Report author Brooke Barton, Water Program Director at Ceres, says, "Escalating corn production for our food, livestock and energy industries has put the corn sector on an unsustainable path." The Midwest drought of 2012 pushed corn prices to record-level highs of $8 per bushel and according to the report are "a taste of what is predicted to become the new normal in many parts of the Corn Belt thanks to climate change."
Rising corn prices also impact more than just the food industry. The transportation industry may also take a hit as corn production is affected by climate change. The crop is used to make ethanol, which is a fuel additive, and accounts for roughly 10% of the country's fuel.
However, the largest use of corn in the U.S. is still for human consumption one way or another. Even if we're not directly drinking it in soft drinks, it is still used a livestock feed. Soda manufacturers, such as leading beverage company Coca-Cola Co., could make a significant difference in sustainable corn production. Ceres says they could seek out suppliers of their agricultural ingredients who use less water and fertilizers.
Although, the good news to our waistlines is that U.S. consumption of carbonated soft drinks has been declining for a decade. Maybe we are starting to wean ourselves off of our sugar addiction after all. Either way, it is part of a group of addictions that our country needs to overcome. Using less is the best way to control carbon emissions.
Americans Largely Unaware of Global Warming's Impacts on Their Health
Ever come down with Lyme disease? Do you suffer from asthma? Think climate change might have something to do with it? Before you write off this thought as crazy consider the numbers.
The World Health Organization estimates that a minimum of 140,000 people currently die each year around the globe from the effects of climate change. That number does not include the millions more who are made ill from diseases such as asthma, heatstroke or malaria nor does it account for those that are otherwise physically harmed, for example from extreme weather events.
As if these numbers aren't bad enough, Americans are largely unaware of the impact climate change is already having on their health. The Yale Project on Climate Change Communication conducted a nationwide survey this spring asking respondents to give, "their best estimates of the impacts of global warming on human health worldwide – currently and 50 years from now. The largest proportion of respondents (38% to 42%) simply said, 'I don't know.' The next largest proportion (27% to 39%) said either 'no one' or 'hundreds' of people worldwide will die, be made ill or injured by global warming each year, either now or 50 years from now."
"Only 18% to 32% of Americans said, correctly, that each year either 'thousands' or 'millions' of people worldwide will die, be made ill or injured by global warming, either now or 50 years from now."
One look at the conclusion of the health chapter of the recently released 2014 National Climate Assessment demonstrates that hundreds of climate experts see the danger from the global warming review they conducted over the past four years, "Climate change threatens human health and well-being in many ways, including impacts from increased extreme weather events, wildfire, decreased air quality, threats to mental health, and illnesses transmitted by food, water, and disease-carriers such as mosquitoes and ticks. Some of these health impacts are already underway in the United States."
We need to begin making the realization that global warming is here, it's already killing some of us and there is no time to lose in cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Americans are especially prone to think that technology will save us. Perhaps, but perhaps not. A new study argues that climate engineering may not be the answer to averting a climate change catastrophe. You know what will definitely help? Reducing what you can and offsetting the rest. Let's get to it posthaste.
Much Anticipated Carbon Pollution Standards Proposed
The big news this week is that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released their proposed Clean Power Plan. Environmental groups and climate change activists have been eagerly awaiting these carbon emission standards for coal-fired power plants.
Power plants are the largest source of carbon pollution in the U.S. and generate approximately one-third of all domestic greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA's proposal, released Monday, will help lower carbon emissions from existing power plants by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030.
The proposed rules are the latest under President Obama's Climate Action Plan. The EPA is charged with proposing commonsense approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from new and existing power plants.
Last June, President Obama announced a series of executive actions to reduce carbon emissions, prepare the country for the impacts of climate change and lead international efforts to address global warming. Learn more about the President's Climate Action plan on the White House web site.
For good or ill, climate change continues to be a politically charged issue, often dividing along party lines. However, many companies recognize that global warming is already impacting their daily business operations and that the problem is only going to get worse if we do not take steps now to embrace a low-carbon future.
Sustainability advocacy nonprofit Ceres coordinated letters of support for the EPA's proposed carbon pollution rule to the Obama Administration and Senate and House majority and minority leaders from 125 companies including the likes of Unilever, VF Corporation and Mars. The letters were also signed by 49 investors managing $800 billion in assets.

New Retail Channel ClimateStore.com Becomes a Carbonfree® Partner
ClimateStore Inc., located in Boston, MA, officially became a Carbonfree® Partner with CarbonFund.org. The newly launched retail brand has a mission to make it fun and easy for people to reduce their carbon footprint, and launched its on-line brand, climatestore.com, this past Earth Day. The company seeks to close a gap in the retail space, namely, the lack of an easily recognizable retail brand focused entirely on climate change.
ClimateStore hopes to tap into a growing market of climate conscious consumers, and carbon offsets play an important role in its sustainability strategy. To help realize its mission, ClimateStore purchased offsets from a portfolio of reforestation and forest conservation projects to offset emissions from its operations including energy use at its offices, freight and parcel shipping, employee commutes, and business travel. The company also relies on partnerships with like-minded organizations, like Carbonfund.org and 1% for the Planet, to support climate change awareness programs and forest conservation initiatives.
"With the recent release of the latest UN IPCC report and U.S. National Climate Assessment, there can be no doubt this is a critical issue current for future generations. More people are asking what they can do to reduce their carbon impact" says Steven E. Bushnell, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of ClimateStore Inc. "There is a false perception that moving to a lower carbon economy will require giving things up or need extra effort. We take the opposite view; lowering one's carbon footprint should be fun, easy and rewarding as we collectively secure the stable climate we all hope to live in."
The ClimateStore.com website provides summaries of climate science, issues an urgent call for action, suggests plans to reduce personal carbon emissions, and provides products to help people achieve a lower carbon footprint. The company launched with about 250 carbon saving products, including: energy efficient lighting, water saving devices, smart home technology, home décor, laundry items, travel gear and accessories. Each product is evaluated by ClimateStore staff to identify exact how it saves carbon - including the production, use, and disposal phases of the product's lifecycle - and communicate their findings with a simple icon system and detailed product descriptions.
Think Nearly 100% Renewable Energy in Less than 50 Years is Impossible? Think Again
Within one generation, by 2050, the U.S. can gradually and almost completely eliminate coal and nuclear power finds a new report out from Greenpeace and the Global Wind Energy Council. The report, "Energy [R]evolution – A Sustainable USA Energy Outlook," released last week details the steps we need to take to change greenhouse gas emitting systems such as electricity, heating and transportation. If we follow the groups' blueprint, the country is estimated to reduce carbon emissions 39% percent below 2005 levels by 2025 and 60% below 2005 levels by 2030.
This report is the latest in a series of global, national and regional Energy [R]evolution scenarios found at www.energyblueprint.info. "The Energy [R]evolution demonstrates that transitioning to a renewable energy economy can free resources for economic development. It means more and better jobs, greater energy independence, and it is more democratic as citizens attain more control of energy production. Compared with the Energy Information Agency energy outlook, the transition to renewables creates more jobs at every stage of the energy transition, with more than 34% more jobs by 2030."
The Energy [R]evolution's goal is to, "wean the economy off dirty fuels as thoroughly and quickly as possible, and in a way that is technologically, politically, and ecologically realistic." Although this report focuses on the United States, it is, "part of a global analysis showing how the international economy can transition to nearly 100% renewable energy by 2050, while assuming no new 'breakthrough technologies'."
Specifically, the report outlines how by 2050 renewable energy sources could provide:
- Roughly 97% of U.S. electricity production
- 94% of the country's total heating and cooling demand
- About 92% of America's final energy demand
"The most recent National Climate Assessment makes it very clear that we need national policies to expedite a clean energy economy," said Kyle Ash, senior legislative representative for Greenpeace USA.
"Fortunately, the energy market is phasing out coal and phasing in renewable energy at a rapid pace, but this must be quickened to avoid climate consequences much worse than the wildfires, droughts, and superstorms the country is already experiencing," said Ash.
Indeed, the Energy [R]evolution sounds like a good way to start putting the brakes on global warming and engender the truly transformative change we must undertake immediately to avoid catastrophic climate change. The time has come for us to embrace a low-carbon future.
Combating Climate Change Makes Good Business Sense
Global warming and extreme weather caused by climate change are costing companies millions finds a new report from CDP released this month. The white paper titled, Major public companies describe climate-related risks and costs says, "Each year, CDP requests climate-change-related disclosures from public companies on behalf of a growing number of institutional investors. In 2014, the request for disclosure was sent on behalf of 767 institutional investors with $92 trillion in assets. This report presents key findings and responses provided by S&P 500 companies across economic sectors to the risk-related questions in CDP's annual disclosure requests from 2011 to 2013."
Companies reported risks such as damage to facilities, reduced product demand, lost productivity and necessitated write-offs, whose totals run into the millions of dollars.
The paper goes on to say, "Findings show that S&P 500 companies assess physical risks from climate change to be increasing in urgency, with physical disruptions and cost impacts already being felt.
45% of risks were described by companies as current or predicted to fall within the next 1-5 years in 2013, up from 26% in 2011
50% of the risks disclosed were described as more likely than not to virtually certain in 2013, up from 34% in 2011
68% of the disclosed physical risks were direct to operations in 2013, up from 51% in 2011"
This is not merely theory either. Approximately 60 companies gave examples of current and potential future risks and their associated costs in the research, including:
Wildfires in San Diego caused Sempra Energy's costs to exceed its $1.1 billion of liability insurance coverage
Consolidated Edison's costs related to Superstorm Sandy topped $431 million.
Gap reported higher material costs for cotton arising from precipitation changes and drought in China
Companies are poised to make a real difference in the fight on climate change while strengthening their bottom line. Mitigating the risks from climate change simply makes good business sense considering a study by Business for Social Responsibility published last month which says the exposure to the risks from climate change are on the rise. Some estimate the cumulative global cost could be as high as $4 trillion by 2030. The time to act is now. These costs are only going to increase the longer we delay investing in a low-carbon future.
Lowering Greenhouse Gas Emissions Yields Additional Benefits Worth Billions
Carbonfund.org supports carbon offset projects that clearly benefit the environment and fight climate change. A recent study highlights how projects such as ours offer even more than combating global warming alone. They can provide additional benefits ranging from employment to health, which is important to countries' economies and limited budgets.
Often the question is posed as whether to cut emissions or use the funds to stimulate the economy. But we can have the best of both worlds with certified carbon-cutting projects; particularly projects in poor countries. And the numbers add up to billions in additional benefits.
Carbon credit certifier, the Gold Standard Foundation, in a partnership with WWF Switzerland commissioned a peer-reviewed study from Australia-based Net Balance. Economists analyzed the environmental and socioeconomic benefits from clean energy or Gold Standard-approved carbon reduction projects.
The report found, "Robustly designed and audited greenhouse gas mitigation projects... deliver far more than carbon emission reductions, meaning it is no longer necessary to choose between climate and other environment and development outcomes."
The study analyzed more than 100 initiatives including building wind farms, planting trees, installing water filtration systems and distributing clean stoves to discourage people from burning wood or charcoal. Then the report identified areas beyond greenhouse gas cuts where there was a potential benefit from projects, such as local economies, employment, health and biodiversity.
The report gives a couple examples; the first shows how three water filtration systems throughout Africa and Asia deliver health benefits such as less air pollution, which is valued at more than $300 million annually. The second example illustrates how 54 Gold Standard-certified wind farms created jobs worth $12 million a year while contributing a total $100 million per year to countries' balance of payments.
Gold Standard Program projects generate carbon credits that can be bought by individuals, businesses and organizations to offset their own carbon footprints. Learn more about Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction projects at http://www.carbonfund.org/projects.
National Climate Assessment Finds Warming Could Surpass 10 Degrees
The National Climate Assessment was released this week, which summarizes climate change's impacts on the United States, now and in the future. Produced by a team of more than 300 experts and guided by a 60-member Federal Advisory Committee, the study was also extensively reviewed by the public, federal agencies and a panel of the National Academy of Sciences.
The report finds that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, global warming could exceed 10 degrees by the end of the century. A quote from the study's overview says, "This National Climate Assessment concludes that the evidence of human-induced climate change continues to strengthen and that impacts are increasing across the country."
This scientific report is mandated by Congress and is the pinnacle of years of work by hundreds of the nation's leading climate experts. They reviewed the scientific literature and summarized how climate change is affecting our country. The two main conclusions are:
The planet's climate is changing; it is apparent across the U.S. and the last 50 years' worth is chiefly due to human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels.
Extreme weather is on the rise in recent decades and new, stronger evidence confirms that some of these increases are human-caused.
Our homes, food, water and the very air we breathe are being affected.
Global warming is more than something that our children and future generations will face. It is our reality now. Climate change is already affecting our country and economy. Now that the situation is hitting home, perhaps we will start to make the changes we must make to reduce our carbon footprints and fund clean energy projects.

One day after the abrupt and mysterious firing of Maine State Prison Warden Patricia Barnhart reaction is mixed about her three-year job performance. But there are also concerns being raised about what some describe as a "toxic" atmosphere in the prison and a difference of opinion about who is responsible.
Patricia Barnhart may have had no idea that she was getting fired on the spot Thursday. By all accounts she was not the only one who was shocked. And she probably had no idea who would be the first person to defend her. Jim Mackie is with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 93. He represents more than 600 corrections workers and other staff in the Maine prison system. He does not represent the warden.
"Folks who know me know that I don't usually stand up and speak on behalf of managers except for when I meet one who I really think has a great working relationship and has the respect of the folks that work for her," Jim Mackie said. "And it's not that the warden was somebody who just rolled over and gave us what we wanted but it was somebody you could sit down with and work through an issue. You knew where you stood. And, quite frankly, in DOC now, that's a very rare individual."
While he said he and his union members have had a good working relationship with Barnhart, Mackie said that hasn't been the case with Department of Corrections Commissioner Joseph Ponte. He said staff turnover in the Maine State Prison is high, the pay is low and the hours are difficult Many of them haven't received a pay raise in six years. At the same time insurance costs have gone up and Commissioner Ponte has worked to pare millions of dollars from the prison system. To make matters worse, Mackie said staff are continually forced to defend themselves against allegations of abuse by inmates.
"Under this commissioner, since he's taken over, investigations are through the roof," Mackie said. "I spend the vast majority of my week in investigative meetings...if you breathe on an inmate all they have to do is make an accusation. This commissioner is more in tune with protecting the rights of inmates than he is in protecting the rights of the people who work for the state of Maine."
A spokeswoman for the Department of Corrections did not respond to a request for comment for this story. But Judy Garvey of the Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition has a different perspective on the situation. She said her members meet with the commissioner in his office every couple of months. They also occasionally visit with prisoners to discuss issues of concern. And for Garvey the problems at Maine State Prison do not rest with Ponte but with a few, rogue corrections officers.
"First of all, we believe there have been some loose cannons running amok and we've brought that to the attention of the Commissioner and we know that he's been dealing with that," said Garvey. "But we don't know that they're all gone. We hear that some people are still there. Someone may currently be on leave. We don't know."
While Garvey acknowledges that it's difficult to get the complete perspective without being inside the prison everyday, she said there have been concerns that Warden Barnhart was ill-equipped to manage some of the more abusive personalities, holdovers from what Garvey calls "the good-ole boy era." Ponte, she said, is trying to change this.
"And we feel that he does not want prisoners treated in the old way but that he does believe in sound discipline and training and that works to everybody's advantage," Garvey.
Chris Quint of the Maine State Employees Association declined to comment on whether other corrections officers represented by his union had been fired or disciplined this week. Personnel matters cannot be publicly discussed. But Quint said cutbacks in staffing over the past two years have increased the stress inside the prison system. And employee relations with Ponte, who comes from a private prison background, have been strained.
"As opposed to creating, fostering a collaborative work environment that it's more, this is the way we're going and we're ending the discussion now," Quint said.
Lawmakers on the Criminal Justice Committee are scheduled to meet with Ponte on Wednesday. Democratic Representative Mark Dion of Portland said he expects members will press the commissioner about the warden's departure and the atmosphere inside the prison.
[Editor's note: An earlier version of this story erroneously indicated that Ponte's meeting with lawmakers was scheduled for Monday.]

Call it finger-lickin' stupid.
We were astonished when we heard the comments that state Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, made Wednesday during a legislative hearing on poverty. Marble decided to share her thoughts on nutrition.
"When you look at life expectancy, there are problems in the black race," Marble said. "Sickle-cell anemia is something that comes up. Diabetes is something that's prevalent in the genetic makeup, and you just can't help it.
"Although I've got to say, I've never had better barbecue and better chicken and ate better in my life than when you go down South and you, I mean, I love it. Everybody loves it."
Marble went on to say how Mexicans eat healthy until they come to the United States.
The comments stunned other lawmakers on the Economic Opportunity Poverty Reduction Task Force, including state Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, who is African-American.
"I will not engage in a dialogue where you are using these stereotypical references about African-Americans and chicken and food," Fields said to Marble. "I will not tolerate that. This is not what this committee is all about. ... What we are trying to do is come up with meaningful solutions. This is not about eating chicken."
Possibly making things worse, Marble later issued a statement that, instead of saying she was sorry, proclaimed she was "saddened" her words were taken as offensive.
We are saddened a state lawmaker can be this ignorant in 2013.

HI Guys,
We're flying to St. Louis to visit cousins next week and I was hoping you might be able to give me some advice. I've never flown with a baby before and I'm pretty nervous. we made sure we got a direct flight so it's less than 3 hours but still i'm nervous! Our little guy is 6 months. We just recently bought a convertible seat since he's over 20 lbs however he can still stay in the bucket till 30 and we haven't switched him over just yet since we had this trip. we figured we should keep him in the bucket and the snap n go for the airport. would you agree? he doesn't love the snap n go or the bucket but it will be easier in the airport then carrying him around and I've heard you can gate check both of them? (we didn't get him a separate seat). We are flying on southwest. flights leave at 7:10 am on the day out and 7pm on the way home.. I know you can bring formula on the plane but is there a limit to how much? he drinks about 8 oz each sitting. He also can't stay up more than 1 hour 45 mins without taking a nap. usually his naps are done swaddled in the crib (unless he's in his carseat or stroller if we are out and about). I'm afraid on the plane what he is going to do when he can't be swaddled, rocked, or anything.. i don't want him to scream (we've tried unswaddled, no rocker, etc when we were at a friend's house before and it was unsuccessful - he was screaming so we just went for a walk in the stroller and he fell asleep in seconds). should i just feed him again to have him fall asleep in my arms so he doesn't distract anyone on the plane? i've heard feeding on take off helps as well.. any advice, tips, etc that any of you have would be great! by the way, it's an easy trip packing wise for us because my cousin has a pack n play for him to sleep in and has strollers out there for us to use (since he likes to sit upright and not in his snap n go in a lounge position), and even has a convertible carseat we could use so we don't need our base (but if use ours i saw ways to strap it in without the base as well).
Thanks for any input!

Cannoli. Pasta. The Ferrari. We've gotten some great imports from Italy. But the fashion? It's by far our favorite. Here, the sartorial résumés of some of the country's finest designers. All we can say is grazie, Italy.
History: In business since 1960 (when Valentino Garavani opened his atelier in Rome), this legendary label is known for its intricately detailed gowns. In 2007, to the shock of many, Valentino announced his retirement. Today, the house resides under the creative direction of designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, who have toughened up Valentino's famed feminine aesthetic with a few beloved stud accents.
Most Memorable Design: Jackie O's 1953 wedding dress – which now resides in the Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts.
Diffusion Lines: RED Valentino, Valentino Garavani, Valentino Roma, Valentino Uomo, Miss V, Oliver, and Valentino Più
History: Founded in 1985 by then-couple Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce, Dolce & Gabbana was known in its early years for its corsetry and "Sicilian widow" look (think plenty of draped black lace). Today, the brand has expanded to include fragrances and accessories – but is still widely revered for its use of leopard print and unflagging love for anything of the va-va-voom kind.
Most Memorable Design: Madonna's 1991 rhinestone-covered bodice, worn at the Truth or Dare premiere.
Diffusion Lines: D&G, D&G Junior, and Dolce & Gabbana Basic
History: In 1978, Miuccia Prada took over her grandfather's Italian leather goods business (which dates back to 1913). When she debuted the label's first black nylon backpack, the world went crazy over it – and in 1988 a full women's ready-to-wear line was born. Today, the label continues to present fabrics in revolutionary, yet always luxurious, ways.
Most Memorable Design: Miuccia's debut design for the label in 1985: a simple black nylon backpack adorned with a subtle black plaque.
Diffusion Lines: Miu Miu, Collezione Uomo, Prada Sport, and Linea Rossa
History: Giorgio Armani introduced his menswear label in 1974, and his impeccable tailoring quickly put Milan on the map. Six years later he designed the suits for Richard Gere's character in American Gigolo. He became an instant Hollywood favorite – especially on the red carpet – with stars turning to him for his glamorous yet understated creations.
Most Memorable Design: The Power Suit, which has been the symbol of success since the 1980s.
Diffusion Lines: Armani Privé, Emporio Armani, Emporio Armani EA7, Armani Exchange, Armani Collezioni, Mani, Giorgio Armani A. Milano Borgonuovo 21, Giorgio Armani Le Collezioni, and Giorgio Armani Classico

Senior Fellow Benjamin Powell is Interviewed on American Medicine Today Radio on Drug Approvals and the FDA
Recorded: Saturday, December 12, 2015
What is the cost of the long approval process for potentially life-saving drugs by the FDA? The approval process can take up to 12 years and cost $1 billion. But there are other costs. Patients arent able to take drugs that arent approved and they might die or become more ill. Another cost is that a potential drug maker might not want to take the financial risk of taking a drug to market. Powell recommends testing drugs but possibly making drugs "FDA recommended", rather than "FDA approved." Whats needed is competition and markets to help patients and entrepreneurs, says Powell.

- Abstract
- The frequencies of driven global eigenmodes of the Alfven wave have been measured on the PETULA Tokamak during experiments on Lower Hybrid Wave Current Drive (LHCD). Small but significant and reproducible shifts in their resonant frequencies were measured, which varied depending on the LHCD r.f. power. Explanations for these frequency changes are discussed.
