More copies of this ISBNOddly Normal: One Family's Struggle to Help Their Teenage Son Come to Terms with His Sexualityby John Schwartz
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Every story can change a life. After a number of tragic suicides by LGBT students who were bullied in school, syndicated columnist and author Dan Savage uploaded a video to YouTube with his partner Terry Miller to inspire hope for LGBT youth facing harassment. Speaking openly about the bullying they suffered as teenagers, and how they both went on to lead rewarding adult lives, their video launched the It Gets Better Project YouTube channel and initiated a worldwide phenomenon. With over 6,000 videos posted and over 20 million views in the first three months alone, the world has embraced the opportunity to provide personal, honest and heartfelt support for LGBT youth everywhere. It Gets Better is a collection of expanded essays and new material from celebrities, everyday people and teens who have posted videos of encouragement, as well as new contributors who have yet to post videos to the site. While many of these teens couldn't see a positive future for themselves, we can. We can show LGBT youth the levels of happiness, potential and positivity their lives will reach if they can just get through their teen years. By sharing these stories, It Gets Better reminds teenagers in the LGBT community that they are not alone - and it WILL get better. Review:"In this moving account of a family's journey to raise and protect their gay son, New York Times correspondent Schwartz begins with his son Joe's suicide attempt, discovering afterwards that his son had come out to his classmates that afternoon. Joe's parents had always suspected the youngest of their three children might be gay, playing with dolls and wearing pink lightup shoes, but he had only coyly revealed his sexuality to his parents a week before his suicide attempt. With an unusual condition therapists variously diagnosed over the years as Asperger's, bi-polar, ADHD, among others, school was always a challenge for Joe. With the growing awareness of his sexuality, however, came increasing sensitivity to fellow students' homophobic slurs and taunts, as well as a growing realization that he was 'different' and even that there was something possibly wrong with him. Schwartz recounts in sometimes painful detail his and his wife's difficulties in getting Joe the help he so desperately needed, from working with school officials on appropriate ways of dealing with Joe when his condition overwhelmed him, to joining the Youth Enrichment Services at the Gay Center. With the new support, Joe thrived. Equally humorous and heartrending, this memoir reveals just what it takes to raise children who are different in a world still resistant. Agent: Rafe Sagalyn." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Synopsis:A heartfelt memoir by the father of a gay teen, and an eye-opening story for families who hope to bring up well-adjusted gay adults. Four years ago, John Schwartz, a national correspondent at The New York Times, got the call that every parent hopes never to receive: his thirteen-year-old son, Joe, had tried to commit suicide. Hours before, he had come out to his classmates— and was met by dismay and confusion. After school he took an overdose of pills. Oddly Normal is Schwartzs very personal attempt to address his familys own struggles within a culture that is changing fast, but not fast enough to help gay kids like Joe. Schwartz follows Joe through childhood to the present day, interweaving his narrative with common questions, including: Are effeminate boys and tomboy girls necessarily gay? Is there a relationship between being gay and suicide or mental illness? Should a child be pushed into coming out? Parents, teachers, and counselors alike will welcome Oddly Normal and its crucial lessons about helping gay kids—and any kid who is different—learn how to cope in a potentially hostile world. About the AuthorJohn Schwartz is a national correspondent with the New York Times, where he covers law, science, technology, business and a broad range of other topics. Prior to that, he worked at the Washington Post and Newsweek and his writing has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal, GQ, Texas Monthly and other publications.and#160; He is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and University of Texas Law School. He currently lives in New Jersey with his college sweetheart, Jeanne Mixon. They have three children and two difficult cats.

401k are great for 401k Hedge Fund Managers whom get to bank off your money with fees and pass on all the risk to your accounts.
They are also great for Governments, because you will continue to be a working-taxing man all your life, as you put investment money into their agendas for their 401k Manager friends. How to Start Living a better Life
1) Have Expenses <<< than your income 2) Invest your money to increase you passive income 3) Get your free time back to develop better relationships with those you care about! 4) Find inner peace from your past, for your future, and for your happiness with freeing your chains in the present! 5) Start questioning the Media and Government, to make sure they are generally on a right path for existence and moral standing. |
Look for things like bill pay, convenience of ATM's that are free to use, and ease of depositing money. I personally use Wells Fargo and love the features, customer service in the branch's could be better but I love the online tools like Bill Pay and the convenience of their ATM's for me in MN. |

Holland City's Neighborhood Commercial Improvement Program (NCIP) helps to create good, solid and unique desitations in Holland's neighborhoods. In addition to working with City departments, as well as outside support of neighborhood organizations, the program helps to make the right connections such as looking for grants, encouraging organizations and meetings, helping the evolution of district events, gathering bids as needed, encouraging group marketing, handling complaints and whatever else is needed to create thriving neighborhood commerical districts.
The visions include not only suggestions for business upgrades, but area improvements to improve the districts overall appearance.

Recently, heavy rains caused the Code River to flood through areas of Yogyakarta City.
Leftover volcano sediment brought about the overflowing of the river. The lava is a remnant from Mount Merapi, which erupted in October 2010.
Reports state that the flooding damaged many homes, which led families to seek temporary shelter.
Compassion-assisted center IO-775 is located in the affected area and has been impacted. So far, the families of at least seven Compassion-assisted children have been affected.
The homes of these families have been flooded and some personal belongings have been destroyed.
Please pray for the Lord's provision for the children and families whose homes have been damaged. Please pray for the heavy rains to cease.
Compassion Indonesia will keep us updated as more information is available.
Compassion International will contact you if your sponsored child has been affected.

Wednesday, Jan 86:09 PM
- After deciding to sell its Entertainment Store and consumer website businesses last July, ROVI has now decided to unload its DivX video codec licensing business. The company suggests the business, which has been pressured by the growing popularity of various alternative codecs, was good for 2013 revenue of $70M-$75M, and EPS of $0.25-$0.30. (8-K)
- Rovi now expects 2013 revenue and EPS to be at the high end of the guidance ranges it claims would have been provided in October, had the DivX unit then been treated as a discontinued operation.
- Not counting DivX, Rovi expects 2014 revenue of $510M-$550M and EPS of $1.55-$1.85; the consensus (includes DivX) is at $619M and $1.98. Rovi's IP licensing business is expected to see revenue of $283M, down from 2013's $293M. Cost of goods sold is expected to fall to $78M from $82.5M, and opex is expected to rise to $220.2M from $218.5M.
- Rovi also discloses it bought back 4.2M shares in Q4, and paid down $200M in debt.
- Shares are down AH after rising 2.9% in regular trading, gradually paring the early gains they saw in response to news of several licensing deals.

- OpenTable (OPEN +3.9%) and Rovi (ROVI +1.4%) have spiked higher after Facebook (FB -0.5%) announces companies will be able to take OpenTable reservations and display Rovi TV listings data on their Facebook pages.
- OpenTable has integration deals with 600+ sites/services. They currently account for 5%-10% of the company's monthly booked restaurant seats.
- Facebook has made several moves in recent months (I, II) to improve the quality of the local content/services provided by its mobile site and apps. Yelp (YELP -1.2%) has sold off more than once thanks to those moves, but the company is still differentiated from Facebook (and other rivals) via the breadth of its local reviews database.
- OpenTable's Facebook deal comes at a time when the company is seeing fresh competition from Yelp (remains a partner for now) and Groupon. It also comes shortly after OpenTable began testing a payments system for its restaurant bookings.

- ROVI has reached deals to sell its struggling Entertainment Store (private-label digital content sales) and Consumer Website businesses. The former has been on the block since January.
- Rovi now expects 2013 revenue of $600M-$630M and EPS of $1.80-$2.10, below a prior forecast of $630M-$660M, and largely below consensus of $645.4M and $2.09.
- The Consumer Website sale has a $7M-$9M impact on revenue guidance. For the rest, Rovi blames "uncertainties with respect to the timing of closing several new [licensing] agreements" with international and over-the-top (i.e. Internet video) companies. Rovi remains mired in a legal battle with Netflix and Roku.
- Revenue -5% Y/Y in Q2. Service provider revenue +10% to $83.7M, but consumer electronics businesses -27% $47.3M.
- $65M was spent on buybacks in Q2.

These diaper bags are truly one of a kind! Their variety of styles is tremendous as many of their bags styles don't look like each other which is ideal with so many trends out there. With many designed of genuine leather and custom hardware, their quality and durability cannot be matched. There are several designs to choose from as we know each Mom is different in her what she desires in bag as some Moms want the larger bags while others want smaller and lighter diaper bags. Their interiors all are able to be removed and cleaned and may have special bottom compartment specifically designed to store the changing pad along with the diapers and other items. This gives you more room for the general interior to carry more items. Their elegance and high quality will not be matched! |

Satellite imagery and seismic data have identified two huge underground aquifers in Kenya's drought-prone north, a discovery that could be "a game changer" for the country, NPR's Gregory Warner reports.
The aquifers, located hundreds of feet underground in the Turkana region that borders Ethiopia and South Sudan, contain billions of gallons of water, according to UNESCO, which confirmed the existence of the subterranean lakes discovered with the help of a French company using technology originally designed to reveal oil deposits.
A Senate committee is exploring the impact of Alzheimer's Disease in Oklahoma as part of an interim study being conducted while the Legislature is out of session.
The Senate Health and Human Services Committee met Wednesday to review an annual report from an Alzheimer's Disease task force.

The Luyas: Animator
Recorded and produced at the Treatment Room by band member and experimental brass player Pietro Amato and mixed by Jace Lasek of the Besnard Lakes at his Breakglass Studios in the band?s hometown of Montreal, Animator is a cathartic sophisticated collection of songs. As melodically compelling as it is artistically rich, Animator is intuitive, seductive, moody and textural. It slowly unfolds its beauty and trusts the listener to stay with it.
The Luyas / Twin Sister: Split
The Luyas and Twin Sister are close friends and mutual admirers, and what better way to celebrate their kinship than have each of them take up the side of a 7" single. Both songs on this 7" are exclusive to the release. Twin Sister's song "Meet the Frownies" was recorded for the ongoing Weathervane Music project, while the Luyas contribute the exquisite pop song, "When I Am a Woman." Both bands enchant us with their space-age pop leanings, and together these two songs make up a perfect double A-side of sonic greatness.
The Luyas: Too Beautiful To Work
The Luyas are four musicians named Jessie Stein, Mathieu Charbonneau, Pietro Amatro and Stefan Scheider. They made a record called Too Beautiful to Work at 6 Nassau in Toronto, Ontario, and call Montreal, Quebec home. They play instruments like French horn and keys, guitars and drums. Jessie does the singing. She also plays an instrument called a Moodswinger. The Luyas enlist the help of many friends on Too Beautiful to Work. These friends happen to double as world-class musicians. (We love Canada!) Owen Pallett plays the violin and arranges the strings. Colin Stetson adds saxophone and clarinet. Sarah Neufeld (who plays in a band called Arcade Fire) also plays violin. John Marshman adds some cello, Daniel Tavis Romano plays the bass, Lisa Chisholm brings the bassoon and Leonie Wall plays the flute. Too Beautiful to Work was recorded by Jeff McMurrich, whose fingerprints can be found on fantastic recordings by Tindersticks, Constantines, Owen Pallett and countless others. A picture-perfect collection of echo-drenched space-age pop songs, Too Beautiful to Work buzzes and pops into retro-futurist sonic bliss. From the vintage effects crackling throughout ?Tiny Head? to the cerebral repetition found on the title track, the Luyas? smart, heady pop sounds vital and modern, yet utterly timeless. The band also knows how to write the perfect hook (?Cold Canada?), pairing it with the more cinematic and atmospheric (?Spherical Mattress,? ?Worth Mentioning,? ?What Mercy Is,?) side of the band?s elaborate vision.

Remove Paragraph Formatting in Word
Hi There,
I was just wondering if anyone knows how to remove paragraph formatting in Word. Under the Help section in Keyboard Shortcuts I have found how to remove character formatting (command + shift + Z) and you can remove ALL formatting by clicking the "clear formatting" button in the ribbon, however I can't seem to figure out how to clear paragraph formatting. The shortcut on a PC is ctrl + Q, I have spent a lot of time searching google for the answer. Most of what I come up with is how to use the "show/hide non printing characters" which is not what I'm looking for. I have found a few different sites that say to use command + shift + q but that just wants to quit the program. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

Don't have Word on this Mac but try highlighting the paragraph and then Command-Option-M to bring up its formatting box.

Jan 6, 2013, 03:26 PM | #3 |
Hi rdowns, thanks for the response. Yes I can bring the paragraph dialog box up that way and then I guess I could manually set everything the way I want, however I'm looking for a way to quickly remove all paragraph formatting so that it removes everything that's been done to the paragraph (indents, spacing etc.) to the default. There should be some shortcut; there is a shortcut to remove all formatting done to a document (so removes paragraph as well as character formatting), there is a shortcut to remove only character formatting (removes, italics, bold, etc) and then there should be one for just the paragraph... at least there is on PC. It makes sense that there should be one for that Mac too... or another way of doing it without having to reset everything one by one.

Do you mean "remove overrides to paragraph formatting", as opposed to "remove altogether"?
There's a command available but you need to add it to a menu or a toolbar, i.e. View > Customize Toolbars and Menus in the 2008 version. In the Commands tab, there's "Reset para" about half way down the list for the Format category. |

My God they are worse than teen age girls shopping at Macys. Either do the deal or don't.
Report: Clippers reach out to Celtics to renew trade talks
Just when you thought the long-running Clippers-Celtics coach/trade saga was over, the Clippers have reached out to the Celtics again league sources told Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski.
The previous salvo of trade reports had the teams discussing a deal that would send Celtics coach Doc Rivers and veteran Kevin Garnett to the Clippers for DeAndre Jordan and first-round picks. Other versions had talks ending when the Clippers 'refused to budge' on Boston's attempt to land Jordan for Garnett and two first-round draft picks.
Bill Simmons of ESPN.com tweeted that Clippers guard Chris Paul is the catalyst for his team attempting to resume talks.
Stay tuned.
The Clippers reached out to the Celtics this afternoon to resume dialogue on a possible deal, league sources tell Y! Sports.—

FYI: Chris Paul got involved in this Clips-Celts debacle, that's why they are talking again. Clips cannot risk CP being unhappy on July 1st.—

You don't know me, Rachel Maddow complained -- twice -- to Reason magazine editor Nick Gillespie in her hissy fit Friday night on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher."RELATED: Maher, Maddow Deny Being Partisan; Can't Name Republican They Agree With
Yet again, Maddow gets it wrong. By the incisive questions he asked, and Maddow's reluctance to answer them, Gillespie showed he knows her all too well.
Seguing from a discussion of the Fast & Furious scandal, Gillespie condemned Attorney General Eric Holder for his role in the war on drugs --
What a shock, the opinions held by Maher and Maddow have remained frozen in amber for two decades. Saves them all that trouble of thinking things through ever again.
Maddow's "you don't even know me" defense was strange enough the first time. (A friend told me it was Maddow's version of "Don't you know who I am?!"). The second time Maddow resorted to it was outright bizarre, several minutes later during a discussion of the health care law enacted in Massachusetts while Mitt Romney was governor -- aka, Romneycare -- leading to the federal Affordable Care Act in 2010, aka, Obamacare --
Followed by that rarity from a Maher audience -- a moment of tomb-like silence as the sheer hilarity of what Maddow just claimed sank in, before Maher uttered a feeble "oh" and an audience filled with Maddow fans as shown by their boisterous applause earlier when she was introduced began belatedly cheering for her again, lest their continued awkward silence make for a YouTube video that might doom Maddow's career.
There it was again -- "You don't know anything about me" -- as if Maddow has more in common with Emily Dickinson than Joan Rivers.
As if this ambitious media climber was actually a timorous wallflower suddenly thrust into the media spotlight amid all these brutish men with their impertinent questions, over and over and over! (wave arms for emphasis).
To make matters worse, Maddow followed this with a claim that initially silenced even a partisan audience -- "My job is to cover these things, not to tell you how I like them or not."
Which is the opposite of what Maddow does every weeknight on MSNBC, as anyone who has spent even random seconds watching her show while channel surfing is aware. The program is officially titled "The Rachel Maddow Show" but would be more accurately subtitled, "Liberal politics I like, conservative politics I loathe."
It's a formula Maddow followed at left-wing Air America Radio, then during guest spots and filling in for former MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann, and when she was given her own cable show three years ago.
Maddow doesn't limit herself to opining there, but also does so in venues such as, ahem, the Maher show, regular appearances on "Meet the Press," her Twitter feed, chummy chats with David Letterman and Jay Leno, her book that was published this year, "Drift," and frequent fawning interviews in the media.
Maddow does not remain so engaged to tell us the news, which was invariably reported long before she got to it. She lives and breathes to opine on this, that and everything else -- and denying it shows that Maddow knows less about herself than does her new acquaintance, Nick Gillespie.

Protesters set up camp along Enbridge pipelines in northwestern Minnesota
The protesters oppose the pipelines' existence under Red Lake reservation lands, which they say is illegal.By: John Hageman, Forum News Service
BEMIDJI, Minn. — Just over a snowbank in rural Clearwater County, Minn., four orange posts stick out of the ground.
They mark where four pipelines run underground, transporting crude oil to the Enbridge Energy terminal in Superior. But they also mark a point of protest for those sitting around a campfire on the other side of the snowbank.
Those protesters, some American Indian and some not, oppose the pipelines' existence under Red Lake reservation lands, which they say is illegal. Since Thursday, they've camped in a plowed-out area above the pipelines, braving the snow that was coming their way Monday night.
"If you had a house and someone came squatting in your house, how would you feel about that?" said Marty Cobenais, a Red Lake Nation member and an office manager at the Indigenous Environmental Network. He said the pipelines stretch under about 8½ acres of reservation land.
Angie Talazio, the protest's organizer, said she hopes the demonstration will slow down the production of tar sands in Canada. She said chemicals used to produce the tar sands, which can be refined into oil, have been known to cause health problems for nearby residents.
Becky Haas, an Enbridge spokeswoman, said in an e-mail that "Enbridge has no objections to the activities of these individuals" if there is no danger to the pipelines.
She said the four pipelines, built in 1949, 1958, 1962 and 1972, run from Edmonton, Alberta, to Superior.
"Enbridge went through the proper channels to acquire easements, permit, construct and operate the pipelines on this parcel of land, the first of which was constructed in 1949," Haas wrote. "Our pipelines were installed based on recorded real estate records.
"We have made several good-faith efforts to address the ownership issues with the Red Lake Band," she said, "and we will continue to work with the Band to achieve an amicable resolution."
Red Lake Tribal Chairman Floyd Jourdain Jr. said the protest is not sanctioned by Red Lake Nation.
"This issue is nothing new, and the Red Lake band has known about this trespass for many years," Jourdain said in an e-mail. "We have had talks with Enbridge but nothing meaningful came of those talks, so the Red Lake band ordered them to vacate tribal lands and move their lines."
Cobenais said he hopes the protest will at least open up more dialogue between the company and the Red Lake Tribal Council.
"If we can help the Tribal Council getting that to happen sooner rather than later, and get Enbridge to listen, then we're there," Cobenais said.

Researchers in Tokyo develop high-speed subject tracking system
By dpreview staff on
Jul 16, 2013 at 18:58 GMT
Engineers at Tokyo University's Ishikawa Oku Laboratory have come up with new technology to track extremely fast motion. Their new system - which uses 'Saccade Mirrors' for pitch and tilt, a 'pupil shift system', and very fast image processing - is able to keep even the quickest subject in the center of the frame at all times.
According to engineers, the initial application for this system could be to capture video at sporting events, and they expect this system to be market-ready in about two years. Check out the video below to see this intriguing new system in action.

Google Axes Lively, Will Not Conquer Gaming
by Chris Faylor, Nov 20, 2008 9:08am PSTJust a few months after launching Lively, Google has decided to terminate the customizable 3D social networking platform it had hoped would inspire the gaming industry with "passionate start-ups" focused on gameplay, not graphics or accessibility.
"We've decided to shut Lively down at the end of the year," reads a post on the Official Google Blog from the Lively team. "We want to ensure that we prioritize our resources and focus more on our core search, ads and apps business."
"Google has always been supportive of this kind of experimentation because we believe it's the best way to create groundbreaking products that make a difference to people's lives," the team explained. "But we've also always accepted that when you take these kinds of risks not every bet is going to pay off."

You can find the shortest and easiest derivation of this result in the paper where it was released by Einstein himself (what better reference can you find?) in 1905. It is not the main paper of Special Relativity, but a short document he added shortly afterwards. It is a delightful document to read. There is no dramatic references to huge power release nor anything similar. He simply states after the derivation "If a body gives the energy away $L$ in form of radiation, then its mass decreases in an amount $L/V^{2}$ (...) the mass of a body is a measure for its energy content (...) One can not exclude the possibility that, with the bodies whose energy content changes rapidy, for example radium salts, a proof of the theory will be found (...) If the theory adjusts to the facts, then the radiation transports inertia between emitters and absorbers." Google for that short paper and see the derivation yourself, it is very easy. The Minkowsky four-dimensional spacetime had not yet been incorporated to special relativity, so the equations are formally very simple, easy to follow with little mathematical training. |
Einstein's equation doesn't have a "proof" because it's not a mathematical theorem. It's a physical theory that is overwhelmingly supported by experimental data. So you could say that the "proof" is in the mountains of experimental results that agree with the theory. To understand Einstein's motivation for developing the theory of relativity, as well as mass-energy equivalence, Wikipedia has an excellent article on the history of relativity. |

The Fight Against Global Warming: Another Way States Can Rein in Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The Fight Against Global Warming: Another Way States Can Rein in Greenhouse Gas EmissionsThe U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which shared this year's Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore, recently released a report detailing the negative environmental changes that will result from climate change, including higher temperatures leading to increased deaths from more severe heat waves, increased incidence of infectious diseases, and severe damage to ecosystems. The IPCC report warned that there were only eight years left to act to prevent the worst effects of global warming.
However, it turns out that the IPCC may have been too optimistic. The simple fact is that carbon emissions need to be reduced and they need to be reduced now, a sentiment echoed in a recent CNN poll that found 66% of people polled think that the U.S. should do what it can to fight climate change. This Dispatch will highlight one key tool states can use to decrease emissions: cap and trade systems, where the total emissions allowed in a state or region are capped and industrial plants are required to buy emission credits when they exceed their allocated emission limits. We've highlighted other ways states can fight climate change and cap and trade is another example. We'll begins with an overview of the idea behind cap and trade systems and how it is currently being used, then discuss how states can move towards better models of cap-and-trade, including auctioning off credits to polluters to raise revenue for energy efficiency programs and to reduce taxes for consumers. Current Cap-and-Trade Plans in the StatesThe idea behind cap and trade is simple: the system sets a cap on the total amount of emissions allowed for an industry or area. "Emissions allowances" are distributed amongst the industry or area totaling the agreed upon cap on emissions, basically an "allowed emissions" credits. These credits can then be traded in the market, giving an economic incentive to reduced emissions. For example, a company that emits carbon dioxide is assigned a limit on emissions and a target for emissions reductions. If they are able to cut their emissions below their targets, the company retains extra credits which they can sell to others who exceed their targets. Those that exceed their emissions allowance have to buy allowances from other companies or pay high fines. The system allows businesses to choose the most cost-effective way to deal with their emissions, either through efficiency measures or by buying available credits. The idea of cap and trade is not new in the U.S. Under the 1990 Clean Air Act, a cap and trade system was implemented for sulfur dioxide emissions as a way to combat acid rain. The market cost for sulfur dioxide allowances was much lower than expected and in the 1990s, the program achieved 100% compliance in reducing sulfur dioxide emissions. The long-term costs of the program were also far below early projections. Cap and trade has also been successful in decreasing NOx emissions. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI): The first mandatory cap and trade program for carbon dioxide emissions at the state level is the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). Currently, RGGI focuses only on decreasing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, but may expand to include other greenhouse gas emissions. Earlier this year, Maryland joined Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Vermont as a participating member of the initiative. California is also exploring ways to join RGGI and the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island are observers in the process. Beginning in 2009, carbon dioxide emissions from power plants in the region of participating states would be capped at 121 million tons annually. This amount will remain the same until 2015. Starting in 2015, the states will then begin to reduce their emissions incrementally over a four-year period to reach a 10% reduction by 2019. Compared to the emissions increases that would occur without the program, RGGI will result in a reduction of approximately 35% by 2020.
Once the program is implemented, states will issue an allowance, or permit,
for each ton of carbon dioxide emissions allowed by the cap. Each operating
plant will be required to have adequate allowances to cover its reported
emissions. The plants can then buy or sell allowances, depending on their
emissions, but an individual plant's emissions cannot exceed the amount of its
allowances. In other words, if a plant cannot lower its emissions to the
designated level, it must buy allowances from a plant that is under its
allowance limit. Plants that decrease their emissions below their alloted
allowances can make
money by selling off their extra allowances to a plant that has exceeded their
allowances. The RGGI states will allot at least 25% of a state's allowances to a strategic energy or consumer benefit purpose, such as energy efficiency, new clean energy technologies, or rate-payer rebates. These allowances could also be purchased by a power plant for its own uses with the funds generated from the sales to be used for beneficial energy programs. The RGGI program also allows power plants to use "offsets" -- greenhouse gas emissions reduction projects from outside the electricity sector -- for up to 3.3% of their overall emissions. Under the model regulations and the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the participating states, these offset credits may come from anywhere in the U.S. Western State Governors' Action: Earlier this year, governors from Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, and New Mexico signed the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative, requiring the five states to:
It should be noted that the Western State Governors' action does not necessarily require implementation of a program by August 2008. One concern is that because Nevada did not sign onto the initiative, California would lose business to the relatively low-regulation neighbor state. Chicago Climate Exchange: The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) began trading allowance credits in 2003 and is the only emissions reduction and trading system for all six greenhouse gases. CCX members make voluntary, but legally binding, commitments to meet annual GHG reduction targets. Those who have surplus allowance can sell or save their allowances. Those that emit above their targets can reach compliance by purchasing CCX Carbon Financial Instrument contracts, or allowances, equivalent to 100 metric tons of carbon dioxide. CCX has nearly 300 members participating in their program. Several counties and cities participate in the Chicago Climate Exchange program, including King County, WA; Miami-Dade County, FL; Sacramento County, CA; Aspen, CO; Berkeley, CA; Boulder, CO; Chicago, IL; Oakland, CA; and Portland, OR -- each of which made a binding commitment to reduce their emissions. Individual State Plans: Several states have adopted their own schemes to do their part. Illinois, for example, adopted an Emissions Reduction Market System to reduce Volatile Organic Compound emissions to help decrease ozone emissions. In the first year of the program, emissions were reduced 48% below their alloted emissions. "The Emissions Reduction Market System has consistently exceeded expectations and goals and continues to be an effective tool in improving air quality in the Chicago region," said Illinois EPA Director Renee Cipriano. In addition to exploring a regional system, California and Oregon are exploring individual state-wide cap and trade system. Lessons from Europe's Cap-and-Trade ExperienceIn implementing state cap-and-trade plans, we can learn from the experience of the European Union's Emission Trading Scheme (ETS), which is the largest multi-country, multi-sector greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme world-wide. The EU's cap and trade system started in the 25 EU member states on January 1, 2005 to help member states meet their Kyoto Protocol obligations for greenhouse gas reductions. As a result:
The program is run in two phases. Phase 1 running through the end of this year was intended as a trial period to work out the kinks in the system with Phase 2 running from 2008-2012. Now that the first phase is coming to an end, reviews of the scheme have found it to be successful overall in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. However, governments did issue too many allowances, flooding the carbon markets and causing the price of allowances to plunge. Because governments simply gave away allowances to existing polluters, the result was a carbon market that was not as competitive as it should have been. The EU is working to rectify this mistake as they enter into Phase 2 of the scheme. The European experience highlights several lessons to be learned. First, allocation rules should be as simple and transparent as possible to keep administrative costs down. Second, governments should avoid setting overly generous caps for polluters. Auctioning Emissions Versus Giving Existing Polluters a Free RideThe biggest lesson from the European experience is the importance of auctioning credits to raise revenue that can be devoted either to energy efficiency plans or to strengthen non-polluting parts of the economy, rather than simply giving allowances away. As a recent Congressional Budget Office report indicated, giving away allowances is less efficient and creates windfall profits for existing polluters: Revenue from auctions of carbon dioxide emissions could be used to both fund other energy efficiency programs and reduce taxes for working families, thereby off-setting any higher energy prices due to emission limits. A wide-range of economists from both the left and the right have emphasized the efficiency gains from auctioning credits. One of the most prominent advocates of auctioning off emission credits is N. Gregory Mankiw, the Chairman of President Bush's Council of Economic Advisers from 2003 to 2005, who argues for making sure that polluters pay for the costs of their pollution, what economists call a Pigovian tax. As Mankiw wrote recently criticizing cap-and-trade plans that do not auction off allowances: U.S. PIRG this summer released a report, Cleaner, Cheaper, Smarter, that also emphasized the gains from auctioning pollution allowances. The push for requiring such auctions is backed by a wide range of organizations, from the Sierra Club to the Consumer Federation of America to Public Citizen. Several states, including New York, Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont, have committed to auctioning 100% of their pollution allowances under the RGGI system, and other states appear likely to do so as well. At the national level, Presidential candidates John Edwards and Barak Obama have both called for auctioning off some or all emission credits in their proposals for national cap-and-trade systems. Other Tools to Strengthen Cap-and-Trade GoalsRevenues from auctioning emission credits can help fund other energy efficiency programs, which is important since preliminary modeling indicates that such programs are key to cap-and-trade successes. A recent study found that doubling the current level of energy efficiency spending would have many favorable effects on the cap and trade system, including reducing electricity load growth, future electricity prices, carbon emissions, carbon emission prices and total energy bills. This is not a difficult or onerous proposition, however, as thirteen states already have an Energy Efficiency Resource Standard (EERS), a market-based mechanism to encourage energy efficiency. Texas, for instance, requires electric utilities to offset 20% of load growth through energy efficiency. Along with exploring cap-and-trade markets, Oregon and Washington have actively implemented direct regulatory programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Oregon ultimately passed a commitment to decrease emissions by 75% by 2050 with either a statewide or regional cap and trade program to help reach the target. Washington passed a target of reducing statewide emissions to 50% below 1990 levels by 2050. ConclusionInevitably, there will be some increase in energy prices when a cap and trade system is implemented because the use of fossil fuels, the main creator of greenhouse gases, will be restricted. However, the cost of not decreasing carbon dioxide emissions will be much greater. The damage due to climate change effects of famine, rising sea levels, storms, and other environmental damage is estimated at $9.6 trillion. The Union of Concerned Scientists projects that greenhouse gas emissions must be cut by at least 80% by 2050 to have even a 50-50 chance of avoiding the worst consequences of global warming. An effective cap and trade system, combined with revenue-raising auction of pollution allowances, is a key way to ensure that these goals are met.
