Spirulina is a cyanobacterium that can be consumed by humans and other animals and is made primarily from two species of cyanobacteria: Arthrospira platensis and Arthrospira maxima.
Arthrospira is cultivated worldwide; used as a dietary supplement as well as a whole food; and is available in tablet, flake and powder form. It is also used as a feed supplement in the aquaculture, aquarium and poultry industries.[1]
Etymology and ecology[edit]
The maxima and plaetensis species were once classified in the genus Spirulina. There is now agreement that they are in fact Arthrospira; nevertheless, and somewhat confusingly, the older term Spirulina remains in use for historical reasons.[1][2]
Arthrospira are free-floating filamentous cyanobacteria characterized by cylindrical, multicellular trichomes in an open left-hand helix. They occur naturally in tropical and subtropical lakes with high pH and high concentrations of carbonate and bicarbonate.[3] Arthrospira platensis occurs in Africa, Asia and South America, whereas Arthrospira maxima is confined to Central America.[1] Most cultivated spirulina is produced in open channel raceway ponds, with paddle-wheels used to agitate the water.[3] The largest commercial producers of spirulina are located in the United States, Thailand, India, Taiwan, China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Burma (a.k.a. Myanmar), Greece and Chile.[1]
Historical use[edit]
Spirulina was a food source for the Aztecs and other Mesoamericans until the 16th century; the harvest from Lake Texcoco and subsequent sale as cakes were described by one of Cortés' soldiers.[4][5] The Aztecs called it "tecuitlatl".[3]
Spirulina was found in abundance at Lake Texcoco by French researchers in the 1960s, but there is no reference to its use by the Aztecs as a daily food source after the 16th century, probably due to the draining of the surrounding lakes for agricultural and urban development.[2][3] The first large-scale spirulina production plant, run by Sosa Texcoco, was established there in the early 1970s.[1]
Spirulina has also been traditionally harvested in Chad. It is dried into cakes called dihé, which are used to make broths for meals, and also sold in markets. The spirulina is harvested from small lakes and ponds around Lake Chad.[6]
Nutrient and vitamin content[edit]
Dried spirulina contains about 60% (51–71%) protein. It is a complete protein containing all essential amino acids, though with reduced amounts of methionine, cysteine and lysine when compared to the proteins of meat, eggs and milk. It is, however, superior to typical plant protein, such as that from legumes.[2][7]
The U.S. National Library of Medicine said that spirulina was no better than milk or meat as a protein source, and was approximately 30 times more expensive per gram.[8]
Other nutrients[edit]
Spirulina's lipid content is about 7% by weight,[9] and is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and also provides alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), linoleic acid (LA), stearidonic acid (SDA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA).[7][10] Spirulina contains vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid), vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin A and vitamin E.[7][10] It is also a source of potassium, calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, sodium and zinc.[7][10] Spirulina contains many pigments which may be beneficial and bioavailable, including beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, chlorophyll-a, xanthophyll, echinenone, myxoxanthophyll, canthaxanthin, diatoxanthin, 3'-hydroxyechinenone, beta-cryptoxanthin and oscillaxanthin, plus the phycobiliproteins c-phycocyanin and allophycocyanin.[1]
Vitamin B12 controversy[edit]
Spirulina is not considered to be a reliable source of Vitamin B12. Spirulina supplements contain predominantly pseudovitamin B12, which is biologically inactive in humans.[11] Companies which grow and market spirulina have claimed it to be a significant source of B12 on the basis of alternative, unpublished assays, although their claims are not accepted by independent scientific organizations. The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada in their position paper on vegetarian diets state that spirulina cannot be counted on as a reliable source of active vitamin B12.[12] The medical literature similarly advises that spirulina is unsuitable as a source of B12.[11][13]
Possible health benefits and risks[edit]
Toxicological studies[edit]
Toxicological studies of the effects of spirulina consumption on humans and animals, including feeding as much as 800mg/kg,[14] and replacing up to 60% of protein intake with spirulina,[15] have shown no toxic effects.[16] Fertility, teratogenicity, peri- and post-natal, and multi-generational studies on animals also have found no adverse effects from spirulina consumption.[17] Spirulina intake has also been found to prevent damage caused by toxins affecting the heart, liver, kidneys, neurons, eyes, ovaries, DNA, and testicles.[17] In a 2009 study, 550 malnourished children were fed up to 10 g/day of spirulina powder, with no adverse effects. Similarly, dozens of clinical studies in humans have shown no harmful effects from spirulina supplementation.[18]
Spirulina is a form of cyanobacterium, some of which are known to produce toxins such as microcystins, BMAA, and others. Some spirulina supplements have been found to be contaminated with microcystins, albeit at levels below the limit set by the Oregon Health Department.[19] Microcystins can cause gastrointestinal disturbances and, in the long term, liver cancer. The effects of chronic exposure to even very low levels of microcystins are of concern, because of the potential risk of cancer.[19]
These toxic compounds are not produced by spirulina itself,[20] but may occur as a result of contamination of spirulina batches with other toxin-producing blue-green algae. Because spirulina is considered a dietary supplement in the U.S., there is no active, industry-wide regulation of its production and no enforced safety standards for its production or purity.[19] The U.S. National Institutes of Health describes spirulina supplements as "possibly safe", provided they are free of microcystin contamination, but "likely unsafe" (especially for children) if contaminated.[21] Given the lack of regulatory standards in the U.S., some public-health researchers have raised the concern that consumers cannot be certain that spirulina and other blue-green algae supplements are free of contamination.[19]
Heavy-metal contamination of spirulina supplements has also raised concern. The Chinese State Food and Drug Administration reported that lead, mercury, and arsenic contamination was widespread in spirulina supplements marketed in China.[22]
Safety issues for certain target groups[edit]
Due to very high Vitamin K content, patients undergoing anticoagulant treatments should not change consumption patterns of spirulina without seeking medical advice to adjust the level of medication accordingly.
Like all protein-rich foods, spirulina contains the essential amino acid phenylalanine (2.6-4.1 g/100 g),[3] which should be avoided by people who have phenylketonuria, a rare genetic disorder that prevents the body from metabolizing phenylalanine, which then builds up in the brain, causing damage.[23]
In vitro research[edit]
The primary active component of spirulina is Phycocyanobilin, which constitutes about 1% of Spirulina by weight.[24][25] This compound inhibits NADPH oxidase.[26] Spirulina has been studied in vitro against HIV,[27] as an iron-chelating agent,[28] and as a radioprotective agent.[29] Animal studies have evaluated spirulina in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced heart damage,[30] stroke recovery,[31] age-related declines in memory,[32] diabetes mellitus,[33] in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,[34] and in rodent models of hay fever.[35]
Human research[edit]
In humans, small studies have been undertaken evaluating spirulina in undernourished children,[36] as a treatment for the cosmetic aspects of arsenic poisoning,[37] in hay fever and allergic rhinitis,[38][39] in arthritis,[40] in hyperlipidemia and hypertension,[40][41] and as a means of improving exercise tolerance.[42]
At present, these studies are considered preliminary. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, at present there is insufficient scientific evidence to recommend spirulina supplementation for any human condition, and more research is needed to clarify its benefits, if any.[21]
In the late 1980s and early 90s, both NASA (CELSS)[43] and the European Space Agency (MELISSA)[44] proposed Spirulina as one of the primary foods to be cultivated during long-term space missions.

As the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. The same holds true for last impressions. Religious meeting planners must not only make a good impression, but also a memorable one — from the moment the attendees arrive until the moment they depart. Meet-and-greet services can be part of the solution.
Whether you are planning a convention for thousands or a meeting of hundreds, attendees will arrive by plane, train, or automobile. Regardless of the mode of transportation, a warm welcome and assistance to the next destination are critical to setting the tone for your event.
Destination management companies are experts at meet-and-greet services. They assist meeting planners and take the burden of transportation off the minds of attendees.
What is Meet-and-Greet?
Meet-and-greet services are more than merely a taxi service. They are the "welcome wagon" for your meeting or convention. When done right, meet-and-greet does more than provide a helpful service: It can create your meeting's mood — a simple gesture that will be remembered long after your event is over.
In its simplest form, meet-and-greet services move your group from point A to point B throughout the course of your conference or meeting. Typically, this involves picking up your attendees at the airport and bringing them to the facility for the meeting or to their hotels for check-in. After a long flight, a greeter can put a smile on a weary traveler's face.
Meet-and-greet services typically incorporate a "terminal welcome." When guests arrive in a new city, they are anxious and unsure of how to get to their hotel or the next destination. Ease their minds by having uniformed workers in the airport terminal with welcome signs. This sets a welcoming tone from the moment guests step off the plane.
Depending on your budget and clientele, greeters can provide a number of additional services that go above and beyond the traditional. These include:
Luggage assistance. Direct guests to the airport's baggage claim area and help them get their luggage onto the waiting hotel transportation. DMCs can also track down lost luggage and deliver it to a guest's hotel room.
Beverage and snacks. You can be sure that many of your guests will walk off the plane hungry and thirsty. Surprise them with refreshments! Supply each greeter with a portable cooler of drinks and snacks that can be offered to guests while they wait for their baggage.
"Welcome to the City" package. Orient your guests to a new city with a welcome packet. This could contain conference itineraries as well as general information about the city's museums, restaurants, art galleries, and more.
Tailored to Fit Your Audience
Make an even better impression on your attendees by tailoring your meet-and-greet services to your audience or the specific event.
Consider these questions:
Who are you transporting? Exceed the expectations of your event's VIPs, event guests, and keynote speakers by arranging "important" or unusual transportation. Once again, this extra effort goes a long way. For example, instead of arranging the usual shuttle transfer service for VIPs, have key members of your organization meet the VIPs as they arrive and accompany them to their hotel. This special attention helps to build and strengthen the relationship between your organization and the key guests.
Are you transporting individuals or groups? Once again, the size of your audience will greatly affect the mode of transportation. Carefully evaluate the group's size to best determine which type of vehicle — cars, shuttles, or full-size buses — will best meet your needs.
What is your budget? Budget restrictions don't have to limit the "wow" factor of your meet-and-greet service. Consider integrating at least one high-impact option to your plan, such as a horse-drawn carriage between the hotel and event site.
A Lasting Impression and Immediate Impact
Meet-and-greet services will leave a lasting impression on your guests, but there are several short-term benefits that can also affect the success of your meeting:
Attendees arrive on time. Your special guests and attendees will be where you need them, when you need them, because you arranged to get them there.
Transportation costs are controlled. Organization transportation costs are pre-arranged with the DMC and, therefore, controlled internally. Furthermore, employee expense paperwork is minimized.
Attendance increases. With transportation hassles eliminated for attendees, one barrier to attendance is minimized. And remember: Tell attendees about the meet-and-greet services in your meeting marketing literature.
Save time and worries. Time is no longer wasted in an airport or bus terminal searching for luggage. DMCs are responsible for locating and delivering lost luggage.

Tips for Working with DMCs
Destination management companies provide a vital service. When DMCs and religious meeting planners work hand-in-hand, flawless execution is an expectation. Here are tips that will ensure that your meet-and-greet services run smoothly:
Provide the DMC with the client/attendee manifests in chronological order by arrival times and in an electronic format (e.g. a spreadsheet). This minimizes the possibility of errors. Support the chronological listing with an alphabetical listing.
Forward attendee manifests early, even if they are not finalized. However, be sure to update your DMC on a regular basis, dating each version to avoid confusion.
Inform the meet-and-greet service provider of any special client requests — the sooner the better.
Establish an emergency or "after hours" phone number.
Budget for an on-site "standby" vehicle to accommodate flight changes/cancellations.
There are many ways to make a lasting impression on your event guests and VIPs throughout every part of your conference or meeting. Remember, what you do at the first moment of contact can influence a guest's impression of your event.

Hydration can be a major problem to your health even when you are completely surrounded by water. In fact, all the delights of a dive vacation — a hot sun, rum punches, long hours spent on the water — can leave you as dry as desert sand. How can you avoid becoming dehydrated, which could put an early end to an amazing diving adventure, and learn to recognise the symptoms?
A few common symptoms like headache, fatigue, or feeling dizzy can be overlooked or attributed to other causes. But when these symptoms accompany others, such as a dry mouth or being excessively thirsty, dehydration is likely the cause. Some of the most common effects from mild dehydration is cramping because not enough water is taken to your muscles and overall exhaustion and weakness. While that may not sound very severe, the more dehydrated you are, the more difficult it is for you to remain focused and self aware of your surroundings. You are also at a higher risk of having decompression sickness. On a dive vacation, some of the factors leading to dehydration are:
1) Sweating. Perspiring is the body's internal a/c, a cooling mechanism that releases a significant amount of water. It's common to sweat in hot, exotic locations — and that's without the extra stresses and workload a diver has. Divers sweat while loading and offloading gear from a boat, finning against a current, and wearing a wetsuit for a prolonged period of time.
2) Sunburn. Soaking up the sun's rays can be dangerous. Relaxing on the beach can lead to sunburn and as your body struggles to repair the damage, water seeps into the damaged skin and the body loses fluids.
3) Immersion diuresis. This is the correct term for peeing in your wetsuit. Immersion in water, especially in water that is colder than the air, causes narrowing of the blood vessels in your arms and legs, sending more blood back to the core of your body. Your body registers this rush of blood into the central body as a fluid overload, so the kidneys crank up their urine production to siphon out the excess. The more you pee, the more water you lose.
4) Alcohol. Drinking alcoholic beverages like rum punches or beer often goes hand in hand with vacationing. However, alcohol is an antidiuretic, which causes you to have frequent urges to urinate.
5) Being cold. Even in warm tropical waters, it's possible to feel cold, especially on a trip where you're making multiple dives. Being cold makes you urinate more.
6) Salt water. When salt-water residue sits on your skin, it can pull water away from the skin tissue, where it quickly evaporates.
The solutions are simple:
1. Drink water before you need it, and drink often, including in-between dives.
2. Seek shade whenever you can, and use sunscreen and reapply every hour.
3. Wash off salt residue on your skin as soon as you can after a dive.
4. Avoid alcohol and drinks high in sodium like energy drinks; instead, snack on fruits that are high in water and vitamins that you need to replace after a dive.
5. Refrain from suiting up until you are ready to dive.
6. If you feel chilled, peel off your wetsuit and get into dry clothes.

HELP! Droid Bionic Screen Lock
I have a numeric pin set on my phone. I can type the first three numbers just fine, but the Zero and OK button will not work. It either enters a 7 or a 9 instead. Does anyone know what to do? I will be forever greatful, I am dying without my phone! THANKS!
Re: HELP! Droid Bionic Screen Lock
Looks like the app mentioned in that link has been deleted. I think if you enter the wrong pin enough times in a row, you'll be given the option to enter your gmail account into to unlock the phone.
Never heard of a way to recalibrate the screen, but I wonder if that's the problem. Does it happen when plugged in and/or not? Or plugged into a computer and not a wall outlet, or vice versa? If you press and hold your finger on a scrollable page, does the page seem to jump around despite holding the finger still? I've seen these kinda of issues before, and are usually the result of a bad cable, bad charger/computer USB connection, etc adding electrical noise that interferes with the touch screen response. - 01-12-2013, 07:37 AM #4

New Arkansas defensive coordinator Paul Haynes knows exactly the type of system he wants to implement in Fayetteville – a simple one:
"Really it's not about what I know, it's about what those kids know. That's what we're going to concentrate on and understand that those kids know exactly what they are doing. I want feedback from them. … So if you don't feel comfortable with a call we won't call it. We won't call it."
That's a novel approach from UA's new coordinator, who was introduced to the press yesterday. Haynes served as Ohio State's co-defensive coordinator this past season. Given the cloud hanging over that program in 2011, it's impressive that OSU's defense was able to log a Top 30 ranking in both scoring defense and total defense.

How young is too young to voice opinions on how our country should be run?
I'm 14. I want to know if people think that is too young to have opinions on how our country should be run. I know there will be people who refer to the voting age as a valid restriction and it is. However, I want to know now people's answers and reasons differ from mine. Also if people agree that my generation ( at least that responsible ones) should be included in the talks about the MASSIVE amount of debt that this country has since we and our children will be living with it.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Dec 30 2012: You are never "too young" to have and voice an "opinion". But to get the attention and be heard your idea and opinion needs to be revolutionary, inspiring and brilliantly different, or it will be lost in the pointless clutter and noise of your peers and others.
Once you have such an opinion and idea. You need to work very hard and persevere to find and make it known to the people who will do good with it. It is very refreshing to see a 14 year old talk and think about Debt, Youth, voting and country as opposed to Beiber and Apps! Good for you!

Delicious cereal!
I was searching for a new gluten free cereal similar to a rice crispy type. I have tried numerous other similar gluten free cereals of this type and I did not like any of them. They are lacking in flavor and consistency. I have never heard of this brand before so was hesitant at first to try it. I am so glad I did! This cereal is exactly what I was looking for! I also bought their Rice Flakes cereal I love it too.

American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
Making effective communication, a human right, accessible and achievable for all.
Featured Partner
Become a Partner
By Patricia Cole Holliday, Janet McNichol, and Arlene Pietranton
In this era of funding and reimbursement cutbacks, effectively negotiating a reasonable and desirable level of compensation is more challenging-and more important-than ever before.
Compensation packages not only affect personal take-home pay, but have a very real impact on one's profession as well. Salary data become part of the larger economic picture that is used to determine "what the market will bear" in setting target salaries for a given discipline or profession.
For speech-language pathology, this was taken a step further when salary data from a variety of sources were used by the Health Care Finance Administration (HCFA) to establish interim salary equivalency rates under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Although speech-language pathologists are understandably frustrated by the inequity of salary equivalency rates that are lower than those of occupational therapists or physical therapists, the rates established by HCFA are based on salary "data" that were in turn derived from actual salaries that speechlanguage pathologists have accepted as a condition of employment.
How then, do we maximize our earning potential? There are a number of factors that determine compensation levels on an individual and profession-wide basis. A key variable is our individual ability to understand those factors and make them work to our advantage every time an employment agreement is entered into. In considering an employment offer, it is important to remember that there is always room for negotiation. This is one venue in which the old adage "nothing ventured, nothing gained" is absolutely true.
To effectively negotiate, you must have a realistic understanding of what your services are worth in the marketplace. Although in any field there are many factors that determine compensation, the critical reasons underlying differences in pay and compensation packages relate to a number of identifiable determinants. Following is an overview of those factors, information about various components of the total compensation package, and resources and tips for successfully negotiating an optimal total compensation package.

Geography and Domestic Recreation in Early Modern Europe
Stephanie Stillo, University of Kansas and 2013 Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR)/Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fellow, Library of Congress, Preservation Research and Testing Division
October 28, 2013
Webcast: This event will soon be available for streaming on demand
About the Lecture:
This lecture will explore how world geography shifted from professional knowledge to general interest in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe. In particular, it will look at domestic activities designed to encourage the collection and memorization of geography by non-professionals, including recipes for coloring maps and botanical texts, interactive prints and games, and geographic memorization cards. Beyond an educational pastime, these activities neatly divided the globe into the familiar continental structure of Europe, Asia, Africa and America; categorizing various human communities into "useful" comparative frameworks. This lecture will also highlight Stillo's work with the Preservation Directorate, particularly her use of Hyper-Spectral Imaging (HSI) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) to identify the pigments used in printed cartographic images in order to measure the availability of materials Europeans found necessary for such geographic pastimes.
About the Speaker:
Stephanie Stillo received her M.A. from Western Washington University in 2009, with major fields in European History and Women's Studies. She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Kansas with an emphasis on urbanization in the Atlantic World and minor fields in Latin American History and Gender Theory. Stillo has received many prestigious research grants and fellowships, including the Truman Foundation Fellowship for International Research, the Tinker Field Research Grant, and the Council for European Studies Research Fellowship. During 2012-13, Stillo was a visiting fellow at the Library of Congress through a CLIR/Mellon Fellowship. While at the Library of Congress, Stillo worked with scientists in the Preservation Directorate analyzing printed maps in Rare Books and Special Collections Division and the Geography and Maps Division.

Congressman Charles Rangel survived a tough primary fight Tuesday and will have a chance to retain the seat he's held for 42 years. Josh Robin filed the following report.
NEW YORK -- Congressman Charles Rangel, the so-called Lion of Lenox Avenue, confessed his heart was fluttering when he emerged to address a crowd of supporters.
His heart fluttered for good reason. His race could have gone the other way.
Rangel's district had been redrawn to now include not just his Upper Manhattan base but also a slice of the Bronx. It's also majority Hispanic, opening up a window for State Sen. Adriano Espaillat.
Some said Rangel was in the Capitol long enough, that whatever seniority he had was undone by his admitted ethics lapses.
Rangel is also recovering from a spinal infection. Espaillat heavily implied that the 82-year-old lawmaker was well past his prime.
But the odds only added fire to Rangel's belly.
While Rangel may have had tougher fights in his long career, he seemed to be personally affected by this one.
As for the future, Espaillat has said he wasn't running for re-election in the state senate, though his name recently surfaced on nominating ballots.
Rangel will almost certainly will be in Washington for a 43rd year. As supporters joked, with his staying power in the nation's capital, Rangel may end up as the Strom Thurmond of New York City politics.

DukeMed Magazine
Published: Apr. 18, 2012
Updated: Apr. 18, 2012
Medicine is not immune to the seductions of tradition -- there are studies to prove it. "A lot of things that we do in medicine, we do because we've always done it, not because there are good data to support that practice," says orthopaedic surgeon David Attarian, MD, who knows firsthand how difficult it can be to break "bad habits" in practice.
Knee replacement surgery has, for the past 30 years, made use of continuous passive motion (CPM) to aid recovery in patients.
The CPM machine -- a device that requires a fair amount of effort on the part of the nurse, therapist, or family member to put it on the patient without hurting the patient -- came into popularity after some data showed that it might help reduce drainage and increase a patient's range of motion at discharge (which was, at that time, seven to 10 days after surgery).
Attarian estimates that CPM machines are still in use in as many as half of hospitals that perform total joint replacement. "Some hospitals use it as a way to control costs, because it reduces their need for therapists to be on hand," he says. Moreover, patients have come to expect the CPM -- they hear previous patients talking about how it helped them recover, and they think they need it.
But here's the thing -- current data don't support it. Over the past 10 years, hospitals that specialize in total joint replacement have studied the use of CPM versus moving a patient rapidly into active therapy, says Attarian, and they've found that it is no better for a patient than introducing physical therapy shortly after the surgery.
Duke's Total Joint Coordination of Care Committee has developed a new protocol regarding knee replacement surgery. Instead of CPM, the patient receives his or her first physical therapy visit on the day of the surgery (or the following morning), and his rehabilitation focuses on active motion instead of passive.
Attarian led a Duke study of the protocol, and the results mirrored the data gathered at other institutions -- leaving out CPM reduces patient pain and resource drain by cutting out the burden of applying and removing the device, which requires two people and four to six hours' worth of labor over the course of a day. And the patients have the same outcomes at discharge and three months out, compared to results from CPM patients.
While it took some time to convince patients and doctors alike, Attarian says, the protocol is now used 100 percent of the time at Duke.

First, Hurricane Sandy hit. Then, President Obama mentioned global warming in his acceptance speech. Now, 2012 looks likely to be the hottest year on record.
In the last three weeks, public interest in global warming has undergone a remarkable revival. Already, environmentalists are renewing calls on Obama to reject a controversial Canadian oil pipeline and to put strict greenhouse gas emission standards in place.
But energy and environmental analysts warn that idealistic calls to action may end up hurting climate change policy efforts: With Republicans controlling the House and Democrats the Senate, and the nation facing a hard economic path, they argue any gains need to be made through consensus from both sides of the aisle.
"Sandy has helped put climate change back on the map . . . but it's not like the bulk of the American people now say that climate change matters more than anything else,'' said Michael A. Levi, director of the Program on Energy Security and Climate Change for the Council on Foreign Relations, a bipartisan think tank. Levi recently wrote blog posts calling for environmentalists and oil and gas interests to compromise to get past the stalled climate status quo.
"If you can put together a package that expands opportunity for oil and gas development while curbing emissions from fossil fuels, that is something that moves us" forward, he said.
If the loud cheers Obama won from mentioning a warming planet in the wee hours after he was reelected are any indication, the president is likely to start talking about climate change more freely and frequently. He did just that Wednesday, in his first postelection press conference — but stopped short of vowing action.
"If the message is somehow, we're going to ignore jobs and growth simply to address climate change, I don't think anybody's going to go for that," he said. "I won't go for that."
One of Obama's first tests will be a wind energy tax credit that has long had bipartisan support but came under GOP scrutiny with presidential candidate Mitt Romney saying he opposed subsidies for green energy. The credit will expire at the end of the year if the congressional session that began this week does not extend the credits. The American Wind Energy Association, an industry group, says 37,000 jobs will be lost within a year if the tax break is not extended.
"We have a chance to do it. It's popular across the aisle,'' US Senator John Kerry said. "But the reality is, we can't keep doing this successfully one year at a time. We need to provide predictability and certainty about what role the tax code will play in our energy policy. "
Some analysts say one controversial project could join both sides of the aisle: presidential approval of the Keystone pipeline that would bring tar sands oil from Canada to the United States. Environmentalists opposed the pipeline for several reasons, which included the large amounts of carbon dioxide, the key heat-trapping gas, that are emitted through the energy-intensive methods for extracting oil from tar sands. Obama rejected an accelerated timetable for the project last year, but he will have to face a final decision on the pipeline this term.
A "positive decision can address environmental concerns and win support from both sides of the aisle in Congress,'' said Robert Stavins, director of Harvard's Environmental Economics program.
There already have been significant gains in Obama's first term, such as higher mileage requirements for automobiles and appliance energy efficiency standards, that will help lower emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency has enacted carbon dioxide rules for new power plants, but how the agency will handle regulating the gas from existing power plants is unclear. Other pollution rules the EPA could enact, while not having specific carbon dioxide requirements, could significantly affect investment, retirement, and use of coal-fired power plants, says Stavins. Also helping climate efforts, while not policy, is the low price of natural gas. Generating electricity from gas produces less carbon dioxide than from coal.
Those policies — and expanded use of natural gas — will help the United States achieve or come close to the emission reductions Obama pledged in international climate talks in 2009, 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, Stavins and other energy analysts predict.
Another subject ripe for compromise that is making headlines — although few expressed confidence it would advance — is a carbon tax. As Congress debates how to raise revenue to avoid massive spending cuts, the "fiscal cliff," some economists and environmentalists are calling for a fee on carbon pollution. One research group, Resources for the Future, estimates that a tax of $25 per ton of carbon dioxide would raise $125 billion a year.Continued...

(I'm saying that in my very best Terminator voice)
You may or may not have noticed, but I've been kind of MIA this month. If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you probably saw my explanation that I am moving to a new apartment at the end of the month and my brother is also getting married out of state next weekend. Basically all of my spare time has been spent packing/preparing/being on the phone with my cable company for ridiculously long periods of time, etc. As soon as I get back from my brother's wedding I will be moving, so unfortunately I'm not going to have any time or unpacked dishes to cook or blog with through the end of the month. Sorry :/
The exciting news is that my new apartment is going to have a DISHWASHER (!!!) which I don't currently have. This addition is most certainly going to make my passion for food blogging and hatred of washing dishes mesh together a little better.
Anyway, for those of you who don't follow me on Facebook or Twitter (why not? Do it!), I just wanted to let you know where I am and reassure you that I will be coming back with lots of delicious new recipes, straight out of my new kitchen in June. I have a long list of recipes I've been waiting to try, so I can't wait to get back in the kitchen and share them with you.

Franklin - A 30-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested for burglary after an investigation revealed he stole an $8,000 motorcycle from his employer's business during the overnight hours of Jan. 20, according to a Franklin police report.
Also in the report:
The owner of Speedway Auto Detailing, 6742 S. 112th St., reported that someone had forced his or her way into the business and stolen a motorcycle valued at $8,000 between the late evening hours of Jan. 20 and 8:50 a.m. Jan. 21.
During the investigation, police viewed surveillance video from a neighboring business that showed a U-Haul rental truck backing up to Speedway Auto Detailing the night of the burglary.
Police worked with U-Haul to determine who rented the truck, and found that it had been rented by an employee Speedway Auto Detailing.
The man confessed to the burglary during questioning, and let police know where the motorcycle was. It was recovered.

Kibo Summit (5,893 m) at the top of Kilimanjaro is one of the few peaks in Africa to retain glaciers. A comparison image (ISS006-E-45499) is a high oblique photograph taken from the International Space Station in early April 2003. That photograph provides a 3-dimensional perspective on the positions of the glaciers on the upper northwestern and southern flanks of the mountain. This photograph, ISS009-E-13366, taken from the International Space Station in late June 2004, shows large glacier fields (blue-white, with defined edges) on the northwestern and southern slopes of the peak. In this scene, a light layer of snow brightens the dark brown terrain around the glaciers. Scientists use ice cores, an automated weather station, computer modeling, and images like these as tools to learn about the past and present activity of Kilimanjaros receding glaciers. One atmospheric scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found clues that link reduced cloud cover to post-1880 decreased water levels in East African lakes. Lake evaporation indicates a decrease in both precipitation and cloudiness around Kilimanjaro. These two images illustrate the changes over time in snow cover at the summit as well as the current extent of the glaciers themselves. Light brown outwash channels from the northwestern flank icefield are particularly evident in the oblique photograph (top). While clear conditions over Kilimanjaro allow for the collection of spectacular images like these, the lack of cloud cover may be one cause for the glaciers retreat. The increased sunlight facilitates faster evaporation and less precipitationthus, the land surface absorbs more incoming sunlight and, as it warms, the ice and snow melts at an accelerated pace. Most scientists agree that the glaciers of Mt. Kilimanjaro will be gone by the year 2020, but there is less agreement as to why they are now receding. Climatologists are now studying current weather trends, environmental changes from the late 1800s, and historical records of the mountain climate compared with longer-term climate records at lower elevations. A correct interpretation of the ice core data may help provide an explanation for this glacial recession.

With Hercules – Handel's take on Sophocles' play – Sellars creates a healing work in which the untold horrors of war and the unspoken complications of reunion find their voice.
