What We Do
Sustainability has four dimensions: environmental, social, cultural, and economic. The actions we take at MIIS are aimed at bringing those dimensions into balance.
The MIIS Sustainability Council
The Sustainability Council was formed in the Spring of 2008 as an interdisciplinary organization which is the hub for all campus sustainability initiatives. Council members come from all departments and areas of study at the Institute.
Current Initiatives
Carbon Neutrality
The Monterey Institute of International Studies aims to be a carbon neutral campus in 2016. A formal policy outlining this commitment has been approved, and the steps to achieve our goal are underway.
The Carbon Neutrality Initiative consists of the following components:
- Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Audits: For several years, MIIS students have collaborated with faculty experts to establish an energy usage and emissions baseline for the campus. Using guidelines published by the World Resources Institute and the EPA, these audits provide the school with emissions inventories that are used to track the progress of our efforts over time. Our Goals & Results page contains all the latest GHG information for the Institute.
- Energy & Lighting Overhaul Program: We make every effort to reduce our energy consumption and minimize our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Institute has partnered with the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) Energy Watch program to complete a campus-wide analysis and retrofit of our electrical and lighting systems. The retrofits included new higher efficiency ballasts, CFL lights, motion sensors, and timers. This is part of a continuous effort to improve our energy efficiency and reduce overall energy consumption. This program is expected to save hundreds of thousands of dollars and take thousands of tonnes of Carbon Dioxide out of the air over the next 20 years. These funds can be used to offset our remaining emissions.
- Trash: The Monterey Institute recently created new signage for all campus trash and recycling bins that includes the most recent information on materials that may be recycled in Monterey.
- Tracking: See the Goals & Results page for our future waste minimization goals, and to track our progress in reaching them.
- Recycling: Maximum recycling is MIIS waste policy. Blue bins are conveniently situated throughout campus and in every classroom, with signage explaining the recyclable items at MIIS. The following items should always be recycled:
- All plastics with recycling symbols
- All paper and cardboard
- Wax cartons
- Glass
- Aluminum cans and foil
- Coffee cup lids and sleeves
- Battery Recycling: White containers in which you can deposit expired batteries are in several select locations across campus such as Holland Center, William Tell Coleman Library, and the Kade Center, among others. Since 2008, we have collected over 1,400 pounds of batteries for recycling. See the Battery Recycling Locations map.
- Organic Waste: Plastic bins that hold compostable waste are located in the community organic garden. Their contents are transferred to an industrial strength composter, where these organic materials break down into elements that are mixed with dirt to create enriched, fertile soil for the garden. Bring your kitchen scraps to school to help grow the garden and cut down on landfill waste. Composting Instructions
- Compact Fluorescent Lamps: Blue buckets with white lids have been placed in 5 areas on campus: First Floor of William Tell Coleman Library, Samson Reading Room, the GSIPS front desk and FGSIB main desk, and in Office Services. Just put your used CFLs in these containers and you can be assured that they will be disposed of properly.
- Freecycling: The Monterey Institute donates any out-dated, but still usable, items to the local community. Hundreds of out-dated audiovisual items are re-used in this fashion.
E-Waste: E-waste is defined as electronic products such as TVs, computers, monitors, fax machines, cell phones, and printers. According to California State law these materials cannot be disposed of as general trash due to the hazardous materials such as mercury, arsenic and other heavy metals that they contain. These can leach into the local groundwater table and are harmful to human health. MIIS recycles hundreds of its electronic products every semester. We are not, however, able to accept this waste from the greater community at present and all e-waste should be delivered directly to The Monterey Regional Waste Management District for proper disposal. To the right the Monterey Institute prepares E-Waste for disposal.
- MIIS Community Classifieds: To reduce the amount of waste that is created during student transitions, the Monterey Institute maintains a forum for the sale or give away of furniture and other goods. This program greatly facilitates the transfer of goods and reduces our waste.
- Reusable Coffee Mugs: Bring your own reusable mug to limit the number of disposable coffee cups used sent to the landfill.
- Filtered Water: Fresh chilled drinking water is available free of charge in the Samson center-bring your reusable water bottle!
- More information is available on the Waste Disposal page under the Community tab.
Access to clean, potable water is one of the greatest challenges humanity faces in this century. California, in particular, has been feeling the effects of severe and worsening water shortages for decades. Monterey county is a critically drought sensitive area.
For these reasons, the Monterey Institute is committed to consuming water responsibly. We have already launched several programs to reduce our consumption and limit pollution levels in our run-off. The following retrofits have been installed across campus in this effort:
- "Low Flow" and sensor flush toilets and faucets
- Sensor-response faucets
- A filtration system under the Samson Center that cleans water before it is released into the bay
- A rainwater catchment system on the Morse Building that enables the capture and use of rainwater in the Our Green Thumb garden
Signed Agreements
President's Climate Commitment
Former president Clara Yu signed the President's Climate Commitment in May of 2007 on behalf of The Monterey Institute of International Studies. This commitment includes a statement of acknowledgment that climate change is real and that institutes of higher education have a responsibility to take the lead in finding solutions to these problems. The commitment lays out steps for signatories to work towards carbon neutrality with firm deadlines on accomplishing these goals.
Talloires Declaration
The Monterey Institute of International Studies signed the Talloires Declaration in April of 2002. This is a declaration by university presidents all around the world expressing a commitment to creating a sustainable campus at their respective universities. The Talloires Declaration is a ten-point action plan for incorporating sustainability and environmental literacy in teaching, research, operations and outreach at colleges and universities. It has been signed by over 600 university presidents and chancellors in over 40 countries.

The trio of Chicago Cubs players all are headed to Houston. They're All-Stars.
Sosa is part of a 500 dream team, named to the starting outfield for the National League All-Star team,
joining fellow 500 home run hitters Ken Griffey Jr. and Barry Bonds.
"It's an honor for me to be there with Mr. Barry Bonds and Griffey," Sosa said Sunday. "I'm really going to
enjoy it. I don't know if that will ever happen again. It's a situation that's happened, and it's happened to
good people."
Sosa will have company. Alou and Zambrano also were named to the National League roster, both chosen
by the players on their ballots.
For Alou, it's his fifth trip and first since 2001, when he played for the Astros. The All-Star selection is a
nice birthday present for the veteran, who turned 38 on Saturday.
He leads the Cubs in home runs, and put together two streaks in which he connected in three consecutive
games. On May 19 against San Francisco, he beat his dad, Giants manager Felipe Alou, with a 10th-inning
walk-off homer for a 4-3 Cubs win.
Greeted by loud choruses of "Al-OOOO" each at-bat, the outfielder has revived his career after a
disappointing first season in Chicago in 2002, when he hit .275 with 15 homers and 61 RBIs. Last year, he
hit .280 with 22 homers and 91 RBIs, and gained attention for a foul ball he didn't catch during the National
League Championship Series against Florida.
Alou does like the All-Star spotlight, and is 3-for-7 in the four games he's played. In 1994, he hit a game-
winning RBI double in the 10th inning in the National League's 8-7 victory.
Before the season started, Alou was thinking it would be his last. He misses his family, which lives in the
Dominican Republic. Now, he's changed his mind.
"This was going to be my last year," Alou said. "That was before Spring Training. Now, I've decided I
wanted to play a couple more years.
"When I go up to bat, the pitchers are really careful, the opposing managers are pitching around me," he
said. "I'm cleaning up for one of the best teams in baseball right now. If I wasn't doing that or performing,
or hitting seventh or eighth, I'd feel differently.
Zambrano can now boast about being one of the best pitchers in the league. The young right-handed pitcher
has emerged from the shadow of Cubs stars Mark Prior and Kerry Wood, who were both All-Stars last year
but have been slowed by injuries this season.
"It's natural maturing," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "He's no longer a secret."
Zambrano ranks among NL leaders with a 2.41 ERA, nine wins, 108 1/3 innings, and 99 strikeouts. He's 6-
0 with a 1.41 ERA at Wrigley Field, and opposing batters have mustered a .215 average against him.
"Before, when I was in Double-A and Single-A, I never thought about (being an All-Star)," Zambrano said.
"It's an extra gift from God. When I was in the minor leagues, I would think about winning the Cy Young,
and I would think about having a chance to be in the World Series, but I never thought about being on the
All-Star team.
"It's an honor for me, and not only for me but for my teammates and my coaches and everybody who
helped me this year," he said.
The animated Venezuelan, who turned 23 on June 1, devoted himself this offseason to a better fitness
program and trimmed 15 pounds. He's a horse and has topped 120 pitches in his last three starts.
"He's a young man," Baker said earlier this season of Zambrano. "Most guys 22 (years old) are just getting
out of college. They're still in A ball. This guy's been to the playoffs. Think about how far he's come in the
last year versus whatever negatives we can come up with. Think about how far he can go."
Zambrano's family was in Venezuela. They'll make the trip to Houston on Monday.
"It's hard to come from another country and be expected to have it all together," Cubs general manager Jim
Hendry said. "He's done a heck of a job and changed a lot for the better."
This will be the first time the Cubs have had three players go to the All-Star Game since 1995 when Mark
Grace, Randy Myers and Sosa were selected.
Sosa hit his 14th home run Saturday, and ranks ninth on the all-time home run list with 553. Next up is
Reggie Jackson at 563. Bonds is closing in on 700 home runs, while Griffey joined the 500-club this year.
The Cubs slugger earned the spot on the NL team despite missing 30 games because of a sneeze-induced
back strain. Since returning from the disabled list June 18, he is 11-for-48 with one double, three homers
and eight RBIs, entering Sunday's Wind City crosstown finale.
On June 27, Sosa notched his 65th career multi-homer game, hitting home runs Nos. 11 and 12 against the
Chicago White Sox.
The All-Star Game will be played July 13 at Minute Maid Park in Houston. Sosa is expected to take part in
the Home Run Derby held July 12.
"How can they leave me out?" Sosa said of the contest. "It's something I enjoy the most. All the fans go
there. It's in a good hitting park, in Houston. Hopefully, I can put on a show like I've done. If I win, it's OK.
If I don't win, it doesn't matter. I just want to make everybody happy and enjoy the show."
The National League's top vote-getter in 1999, Sosa is the first player in NL history to have nine
consecutive 100-RBI seasons, and the first in the NL to hit 40 homers in six consecutive seasons.
"This means a lot," Sosa said of being selected. "That's what every player works for. I've been blessed and I
appreciate the fans supporting me. I'm very happy to receive the support."

B.J. Upton was at shortstop, David Wright was at third base.
The two players have known each other since they were 9 or 10 years old, playing AAU baseball in Chesapeake, Va. They were teammates at Hickory High School.
"We've been very fortunate. We had good baseball backgrounds. We got good coaching when we were young and I think we helped each other out along the way," Wright said.
"We work out together in the offseason, both in the weight room and the batting cage. We just push each other that much more to be the best we can."
Wright was drafted in the first round of the 2001 First-Year Player Draft by the New York Mets. He began this season with Double-A Binghamton and was leading the Eastern League in hitting at .363 when he was promoted to Triple-A Norfolk. He's at .322 there now .
Upton was a first-round pick, and the second pick overall, by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2002. This year he batted .327 for Double-A Montgomery and was moved up to Triple-A Durham. He's at .323, a point above his buddy.
They even hit alike. Wright has a total of 16 home runs this season, while Upton has 14.
Each struck out and each reached base in the Futures Game. Wright singled in the USA's 4-3 victory. Upton hit a fly ball that was missed by World Team right fielder Shin-soo Choo, allowing two runs to score. In fact, the outfielders for both teams struggled all day.
"It was tough to get a read on the ball," Upton said.
Although they've been teammates, these guys are very competitive no matter what they do.
"He grew up a Yankees fan, I grew up a Mets fan," Wright said. "Anything we can possibly compete in, we're going to be competing. If we played checkers or chess, we'd be rumbling around on the floor."
They kid each other, of course.
"He likes to run his mouth," Wright said.
"He's always talking smack to me," Upton retorted. "That's all he does when we get around each other."
Yet when they arrived at Minute Maid Park for Sunday's game, they were almost stunned into silence.
"When we first got off the bus, there was no one on the field, the lights were off. Both of us were kind of in awe. We were miked up with Major League Baseball and ESPN and they wanted us to say something," Wright said.
"But we just kind of looked at each other and gazed around. There was nothing you could really say. Our jaws dropped."
Last is first: Shortstop Aaron Hill was surprised to be asked to be a replacement on USA Team. He was the last player added. Then he was stunned to be the winner of the Larry Doby Most Valuable Player Award.
"One hit and I'm MVP," he said after his two-run double was the game-winner. "I hope I can be a MVP in the Major League All-Star Game sometime. I might get a Lexus."
Hill, who plays in the Toronto Blue Jays' organization, came in from Double-A New Hampshire.
"It's just chilling to come out and play in a big-league stadium," Hill said. "It's what every kid dreams about. They had a good crowd, too."
Hill was watching the radar gun readings early in the game.
"It was 96, 97, 98. I thought, 'Man, have fun with that,'" he said. "I got in there and finally got a changeup."
Jammed up: Right-hander Matt Cain, from the San Francisco Giants, wound up being charged with all three World Team runs. He issued two walks and gave up a double in the seventh (and final) inning.
"You can't get much worse than that," Cain said. "I got the first-pitch strikes, but I didn't do the rest."
Saving grace: With the tying run at second in the seventh, right-hander Kyle Sleeth was called in and got the final out for a save.
"First one in my life. Besides my freshman year in college, I never came into a game except for the start," he said. Sleeth is a Detroit Tigers prospect.
"I had all my family and friends here. I've always wanted to play on this field," he said. "I never faced Double-A or Triple-A players, so I wanted to see how I'd do."
Turns out, he did pretty well for a kid who's been playing for Single-A Savannah in the Montreal Expos' system. Everts has a 6-2 record and a 2.00 ERA in 15 starts.
Doubleheader doozy: Third baseman Dallas McPherson had quite a doubleheader this season for Triple-A Salt Lake. The Anaheim Angels prospect had four homers, eight RBIs and went 6-for-7 against San Antonio.
"I think I struck out in my first at-bat," McPherson said. "Fortunately, I ended up batting with a lot of guys on base and every time I came to the plate, I got real good pitches to hit. It was a lot of fun. A lot of guys had great days out there and we won both games. That made it all worthwhile."
Goose on relieving: USA manager Goose Gossage had all starting pitchers assigned to his team. And that was fine with the former bullpen star. He believes relievers should first be starters anyway. That's the way his career began.
"I welcomed all the work. I think we baby pitchers too much. I think we're doing them a disservice by not allowing them to build their arm strength," Gossage said.
Rather than train young pitchers as closers in the minors, Gossage believes they should be starters first to build up their arms.
"I think pitch counts are way overrated," he said. "These guys now, we baby them so much they're looking over their shoulders by the fifth or sixth inning. I think you need to stretch kids out."
Astros preview: Second baseman Chris Burke was the USA's leadoff batter at a place where he hopes to be playing soon. Burke is with the host Houston Astros' Triple-A club at New Orleans.
"I'm really excited about this game," Burke said. "Last year was fun and it's just a nice opportunity to meet these guys and play a game with them. It's a great stadium and a great event."
Burke, hitting .325 for New Orleans, and first baseman Prince Fielder filled out the impressive starting infield.
Fielder, son of former slugging first baseman Cecil Fielder, has 14 homers for Huntsville, the Double-A club of the Milwaukee Brewers.

MOORE, Okla. — The tornado that killed 24 people and injured at least 100 others in the Moore and Oklahoma City area cut a 17-mile-long path that started in Newcastle and ended at Lake Stanley Draper. Nine of the dead are children.
At a press conference Tuesday, a tearful Gov. Mary Fallin said the tornado was one of the worst storms Oklahoma has ever faced. The destruction of two Moore elementary schools made it especially difficult to bear.
Fallin described walking through thick mud at the Plaza Towers Elementary school site. She said the scene was "surreal."
The two schools destroyed by the Monday afternoon tornado were Briarwood Elementary School at 14901 S. Hudson in Oklahoma City, Moore school district, and Plaza Towers, 852 SW 11th St., Moore.
Moore Schools Superintendent Susan Pierce, supported by her assistant superintendent, broke down while reading a prepared statement.
"I would like to extend my sincere sympathies," she said. "Our hearts go out to each of you, and we are suffering with you."
Pierce said safety is the district's "prime priority" but she did not stay to answer questions regarding the school's shelter policy.
Moore residents just approved a $126.4 million school bond that includes the construction of two elementary schools and one junior high school. It is the largest bond in the school's history, but officials did not say whether tornado safe rooms will be included in the new schools as part of those projects. Recently built Norman schools, such as Reagan Elementary, have included several safe rooms in the design.
Pierce said Moore school system has a crisis plan in place, the schools were well prepared, and all schools implemented that plan at each school site. Search and rescue was ongoing, but was expected to conclude Tuesday night.
"We kept over 200 responders out in the field last night," said Moore Fire Chief Gary Bird. "We stayed at the school last night. We are still at Plaza Towers."

Hi everyone,
I'm stuck: I tried to localize my App Title. I tried according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=VS.92).aspx, having a neutral language of de-DE and an additional language of en-US.
Now my app always has an english title, but the contents are correctly displayed according to the selected display language.
I tried a lot of things, like using region neutral languages (DE) or swapping neutral and additional language but I_m stuck with the problem.
My VS is english, but I don't know how that can influence the app, because I inspected the xap package and there is no trace of english hidden as far as I can see.
Has anyone experienced the same problem and maybe found some clues?

It's a danger most consumers don't consider.
"It just doesn't make sense when you buy a lock and someone else has a key to it, period. I would like to know that my key is the only one that fits the lock," that from Lock Expert Glen Peifer.
When you buy a mass produced lock, chances are very good someone else has the key to your home!
"It's all about revenue," claims Peifer.
"My mom always said you get what you pay for," Ginger Watson told us after just buying a lock.
Watson was pleased with the price of a dead bolt she purchased at a big box retailer, "$9.97 wasn't bad."
Not so pleased when we told her a little known secret. Peifer says most big box retailers carry only a limited number of different keys, for each brand of locks they sell.
"I would say it would be very low. It would probably be under 10 or 20," says Peifer.
Take Schlage for example. The company manufactures 30,000 different keys. A spokesperson for Schlage told us they constantly rotate the thousands of key codes they ship to retailers. But how often are retailers rotating their inventory?
At a Home Depot we checked, our producer found 7 Schlage deadbolts on the shelf - and all seven had the same key. Out of nine door knob and deadbolt sets, there were only two different keys available, meaning every other customer would have matching locks on their doors! Our investigators quickly found matching keys for several brands including Defiant, Gate House, and Kwikset. Finding a match to Ginger Watson's gate house-brand lock was as simple as matching a serial number on her key!
"It took me about 10 seconds to match your number," our producer told Watson.
"Wow," Watson said. "Scary. Because someone could be helping me in the store, look at the number - 'here you go ma'am' - memorize it. Grab the same thing right quick or wait and just trail me home."
The reason for matching keys and lock on the shelves is convenience. So that when you buy new locks you can find ones with the same key for the front and back door. But safety experts say that convenience comes with a risk in situations you may not have ever thought about.
Like handing your keys over to a valet employee. They can see the number right there stamped on your house key. What about those membership cards on your key ring that need to be scanned? Have you ever just tossed your entire set of keys into a drive through window? Safety experts say always separate your car key from your house key - lowering the chance of someone stealing your key's identity!
"Maybe they think what are the odds?" Peifer suggested. "But I think if they really knew what the odds were they would choose not to do that."
We asked Home Depot and Lowe's how many different keys are available in their inventory of locks. Home Depot said they don't break out the information we requested. Lowe's said they aren't able to provide information on inventory.
Schlage offers this advice: ask the retailer where you purchased your lock if they will re-key it for you. The safest solution - albeit the more expensive solution - is to invest in a lock that requires a custom key that cannot be duplicated.
"Do they not understand that the next customer that comes by and grabs this lock off of the shelf, that they have a key to their house?" wonders our Locksmith Peifer.
A possible key to danger, when consumers unknowingly risk security for convenience and lower prices.

Archived:MIDlet cannot power down GPS module with an existing satellite fix (Known Issue)
|Creation date
|April 2, 2008
|S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1
|Nokia E90 Communicator, Nokia 6110 Navigator
|Java ME
|Location API
When using Location API's (JSR-179) methods to get a proper provider, it is not possible to stop GPS module location activity if there is a GPS satellite fix, resulting in reduced battery life.
Location API's getInstance(Criteria criteria) method selects the location provider based on the defined criteria, where the value null indicates the least restrictive criteria with default values.
Example usage for acquiring location provider information with JSR-179:
.. LocationProvider locProvider; .. locProvider = LocationProvider.getInstance(null); locProvider.setLocationListener(this, -1, 0, 0); //setting listener for LocationProvider updates
When acquiring location provider information as defined above, the Location API does not stop GPS module location activity if there is a GPS satellite fix. When the LocationListener is stopped and the Location provider is reset, the actual receiver does not stop and it does not power down (regardless of whether the satellite fix continues to be available or not):
locProvider.setLocationListener(null, -1, 0, 0); // setting registered listener cancelled locProvider.reset(); // resetting LocationProvider by aborting all pending synchronous requests
As a result, battery life is reduced to below 10 hours.
How to reproduce
Download and install Nokia Energy Profiler.
Implement a test MIDlet using this source code.
1. Launch Nokia Energy Profiler. From Options, choose Start to begin measurement and check the initial battery level in the top right corner.
2. Leave Nokia Energy Profiler running and exit it by pressing the Menu key.
3. Launch the test MIDlet. The MIDlet starts searching for a fix. After a fix has been found, press 'Stop GPS'. Leave the MIDlet running and exit it by pressing the Menu key.
4. Resume to the Nokia Energy Profiler and check the battery level. It is now reduced to below 10 hours.
5. Repeat step 2.
6. Resume to the running MIDlet and close it by pressing Exit.
7. Repeat step 4. The battery level will be slowly resumed. Close the Profiler by pressing Exit. Relaunch the Profiler and start the measurement again to view the improved battery level.
Exiting the MIDlet results in improved battery level.

An Elegant Way to Measure Temperature
This Galileo thermometer comes encased in a classic black triangular wood frame. An ideal piece for any home or office, this desktop thermometer measures 11" high and features stylish black colored glass 'bubbles'.
The Galilean thermometer works due to the principle of buoyancy, a force exerted by a fluid that opposes an object's weight. As the temperature of the air outside the thermometer changes, the temperature of the water surrounding the bubbles also changes. When the temperature of the water changes, it either expands or contracts, changing its density.
Each bubble also differs slightly in density from the other bubbles. The bubble that sinks the most indicates the approximate current temperature. Named for "The father of modern observational astronomy," Galileo Galilei, an Italian physicist and astronomer responsible for many astronomical advancements. The liquid inside the thermometer is actually a mixture of water and parafin oil.

Sources: Obama to nominate ex-Sen. Chuck Hagel as defense secretary; bumpy path in Senate?
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama will nominate Chuck Hagel as his next defense secretary, a senior administration official said Sunday, choosing a former Senate colleague and a decorated Vietnam veteran and signaling he's ready for a contentious confirmation fight likely dominated by questions about Hagel's stands on Israel and Iran.
Obama, who avoided a Capitol Hill battle by deciding not to nominate U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice as his first choice for secretary of state, went ahead with Hagel, 66, even as leading Republicans announced their opposition -- though they stopped short of saying they might try to block Hagel.
Seeking to soften the ground, the White House was alerting Senate Democrats that Hagel's selection as the successor to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in Obama's second-term Cabinet was imminent, according to a congressional official.
Obama, who returned to Washington on Sunday from his Hawaiian vacation, was expected to nominate Hagel on Monday. Congress is on break this coming week.
The officials requested anonymity in order to discuss Hagel's nomination ahead of Obama.
Lawmakers dig in heels on debt crisis, McConnell suggests crippling US default possible
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congressional leaders on Sunday showed no signs of emerging from their corners to resolve the next step in the financial crisis, with Democrats still talking about higher taxes on the wealthy and the Senate's top Republican suggesting that a crippling default on U.S. loans was possible unless there were significant cuts in government spending.
"It's a shame we have to use whatever leverage we have in Congress to get the president to deal with the biggest problem confronting our future, and that's our excessive spending," said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Last week's deal to avert the combination of end-of-year tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" held income tax rates steady for 99 percent of Americans but left some other major pieces of business unresolved.
By late February or early March, the Treasury Department will run out of options to cover the nation's debts and could begin defaulting on government loans unless Congress raises the legal borrowing limit, or debt ceiling. Economists warn that a default could trigger a global recession.
Also looming are deep automatic spending cuts expected to take effect at the beginning of March that could further erase fragile gains in the U.S. economy. Then on March 27, the temporary measure that funds government activities expires, and congressional approval will be needed to keep the government running. It's one more chance to fight over spending

Syrian president pledges to continue fighting, proposes peace plan that keeps him in power
BEIRUT (AP) -- A defiant Syrian President Bashar Assad rallied a chanting and cheering crowd Sunday to fight the uprising against his authoritarian rule, dismissing any chance of dialogue with "murderous criminals" that he blames for nearly two years of violence that has left 60,000 dead.
In his first public speech in six months, Assad laid out terms for a peace plan that keeps himself in power, ignoring international demands to step down and pledging to continue the battle "as long as there is one terrorist left" in Syria.
"What we started will not stop," he said, standing at a lectern on stage at the regal Opera House in central Damascus -- a sign by the besieged leader that he sees no need to hide or compromise even with the violent civil war closing in on his seat of power in the capital.
The theater was packed with his supporters who interrupted the speech with applause, cheers and occasional fist-waving chants, including "God, Bashar and Syria!"
The overtures that Assad offered -- a national reconciliation conference, elections and a new constitution -- were reminiscent of symbolic changes and concessions offered previously in the uprising that began in March 2011. Those were rejected at the time as too little, too late.
Poll: Few people know obesity can cause more harm to health than just heart disease, diabetes
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Heart disease and diabetes get all the attention, but what about the many other ways obesity can damage your health?
Carrying too many pounds may lead to or worsen some types of cancer, arthritis, sleep apnea, even infertility. But a new poll suggests few Americans realize the links.
Only about one-quarter of people think it's possible for someone to be very overweight and still healthy, according to the poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Ask about the most serious consequences, and more than 7 in 10 Americans can correctly tick off heart disease and diabetes. Heart disease is the nation's leading killer, and diabetes and obesity are twin epidemics, as rates of both have climbed in recent years.
The other consequences aren't so well known.
Hearing may be 'mini-trial' for suspect in Colorado movie theater shootings
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) -- The suspect in the Colorado movie theater killings returns to court this week for a hearing that might be the closest thing to a trial the victims and their families will get to see.
James Holmes, a former neuroscience graduate student, is charged with killing 12 people and injuring 70 by opening fire in a darkened theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora last July.
At a weeklong preliminary hearing starting Monday, prosecutors will outline their case against Holmes, the first official public disclosure of their evidence. The judge will then determine whether to send the case to trial.
Legal analysts say that evidence appears to be so strong that Holmes may well accept a plea agreement before trial. In such cases, the preliminary hearing can set the stage for a deal by letting each side assess the other's strengths and weaknesses, said Laurie Levenson, a former federal prosecutor and now a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
Preliminary hearings "are often the first step to resolving the case, a mini-trial so both sides can see the writing on the wall," Levenson said.
AP Interview: Palestinian PM says his government in 'extreme jeopardy' because of cash crisis
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- The Palestinian self-rule government is in "extreme jeopardy" because of an unprecedented financial crisis, largely because Arab countries have failed to send hundreds of millions of dollars in promised aid, the Palestinian prime minister said Sunday.
The cash crunch has gradually worsened in recent years, and the Palestinian Authority now has reached the point of not being able to pay the salaries of about 150,000 government employees, Salam Fayyad told The Associated Press. The number of Palestinian poor is bound to quickly double to 50 percent of the population of roughly 4 million if the crisis continues, he said.
"The status quo is not sustainable," Fayyad said in an interview at his West Bank office.
The Palestinian Authority, set up two decades ago as part of interim peace deals with Israel, is on the "verge of being completely incapacitated," Fayyad warned. Only a year ago, he said he expected to make great strides in weaning his people off foreign aid.
The self-rule government was meant to be temporary and replaced by a state of Palestine, which was to be established through negotiations with Israel. However, those talks repeatedly broke down, and for the past four years the two sides have been unable to agree on the terms of renewing the negotiations.
RG3 reinjures knee, Seahawks' Wilson takes charge as Seattle beats Redskins 24-14 in playoffs
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -- Russell Wilson raced ahead to throw the final block on Marshawn Lynch's fourth-quarter, go-ahead touchdown run, doing just enough to get in the way of the Washington Redskins safety near the goal line.
Less than a minute later, Robert Griffin III's knee buckled as he tried to field a bad shotgun snap, the pain so bad that he didn't even try to recover the ball.
The last rookie quarterback standing in the NFL playoffs is Wilson -- the third-round pick who teamed with Lynch on Sunday to lead the Seattle Seahawks to a 24-14 victory over Griffin and the Redskins.
"Marshawn always tells me, 'Russ, I got your back, no matter what,'" Wilson said. "So I just try to help him out every once in a while."
And the latest debate over the wisdom of keeping an injured franchise player on the field -- when he's obviously nowhere near his best -- starts with coach Mike Shanahan, who let Griffin keep going until the QB could absolutely go no more.
AP PHOTOS: Seattle, Baltimore, Green Bay and Houston advance in NFL wild-card playoffs
It was a wild weekend of wild-card playoff games in the opening round of the NFL postseason.
The Washington Redskins lost rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III when he reinjured his right knee in the fourth quarter of their 24-14 loss Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks.
The Baltimore Ravens ensured retiring star linebacker Ray Lewis will play at least one more game after disposing of quarterback Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts 24-9 on Sunday.
Green Bay routed Minnesota 24-10 Saturday night in a rematch of their regular-season finale, and did not let 2,000-yard rusher Adrian Peterson run over them again.
The Houston Texans pulled out a 19-13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Arian Foster gained 140 yards, becoming the first player with at least 100 yards rushing in his first three postseason games.
Boldin's big catches, Lewis' inspiration lead Ravens to 24-9 AFC wild-card win over Colts
BALTIMORE (AP) -- The Baltimore Ravens wanted one long final ride for Ray Lewis.
They also wanted Denver. They got it.
Having disposed of Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts, they now face a far more imposing challenge -- Peyton Manning and the streaking Broncos.
Anquan Boldin set a franchise record with 145 yards receiving, including the clinching touchdown in the Ravens' 24-9 victory Sunday over the Colts in an AFC wild-card game. The win delays star linebacker Lewis' retirement for at least another week as Baltimore (11-6) heads to top-seeded Denver (13-3) next Saturday.
The Broncos beat the Ravens 34-17 three weeks ago.

Valve Checks vs. Adjustment Required Poll
Posted 25 October 2008 - 12:56 PM
I won't ask about subsequent checks (yet) as I think these first two intervals are the most common and should give us the data we need to make some conclusions
Time to poll the masses and get the Facts!

Sure thing, Dan. I'm still on the low side, so I'll have to decide if'n I want to do this early (per the schedule) during the winter doldrums, or push it till it's really due next summer. I can tell you this for sure, if I was due a valve check and had the opportunity to ride the bike, I'd check the valves later. 'Specially seeing as how many people have to no adjustment at all.

Oh, the first vavle check----drum roll-----92,000 miles.
Pontiac, IL.
Posted 04 June 2009 - 09:43 AM
Here's the roll-up:
48 Total Valve Checks were reported (to date).
30 were 1st time checks and 18 were subsequent checks.
Only in 25% of all checks was there any adjustment required.
Of particular interest, this is true for both the 1st time (76% OK) and subsequent checks (72% OK) within the accuracy of the poll.
60% of people decided to pay to have their checks done.
Again, this was true of both 1st and subsequent checks (63% 1st timers vs 55% 2nd)
The most interesting statistic:
Of the checks done by dealers, adjustment was required only 18% of the time.
Conversely, of the checks done by owners, adjustment was determined to be required 37% of the time.
Conclusions: Both numbers of required re-shims are low, but you might conclude that, either the owners doing their own checks are more fastidious about it (false negatives occurring at the dealers), or the owners don't know what they are doing and incorrectly re-shim when it's not really needed (false positives in their tests).
Posted 04 June 2009 - 11:33 AM
Watching closely...skipped 78k check and heading for 93k on my '04 now.
Hardest thing is finding what I call a confidence inspiring shop to do the work. Plus anxiously awaiting news from Howie, etc that they found a manual cam chain tensioner that I can replace the POS stock design item.
Then I have to decide whether to change the cam chain itself (definitely want to if the cam has to come out to change shims) or not. Decisions, decisions - guess it's time to at least sacrifice another chicken to the bike and sprinkle some more holy water all over it like I did before my 3250 mile trip in 12 days a month ago.
let's ride safe and be careful out there,

Carly Rae Jepsen has been in the news for (fake) nude photos before, but now it seems she has a real problem on her hands. According to TMZ, the "Call Me Maybe" singer has gone to the Vancouver Police Department over a possible hacking situation in which some racy photos of Jepsen have reportedly been stolen.
According to the report, police are actively investigating the theft of electronic property from Jepsen, with sources telling TMZ they already have a possible suspect in the case.
Though some racy photos of Jepsen may have fallen into the wrong hands, she's gone on the defensive about a rumored sex tape. This week, a XXX tape of someone who bears a striking resemblance to the 26-year-old singer made the rounds on the Internet, causing some people to think the tape's star was actually Jepsen. However, she took to Twitter on Monday to deny it's her in the video.
Carly Rae Jepsen
Earlier in July, topless photos of someone who looks like Jepsen also made the rounds. However, Jepsen's rep told TMZ, "This is 200% NOT Carly" in the photos.
Two fake nude scandals and one possible real one? That's a whole lot of drama for a Hollywood newcomer.
Check out other stars who are no strangers to nude scandals:
Blake Lively
In 2011, photos of a woman resembling Blake Lively surfaced online.  The batch of self-taken photos show multiple shots of the woman's cleavage, a close-up of her nipple and some full-body nudes as well. There were also some non-nude photos that feature the woman with the same fake tattoos Lively wore for her role in "The Town" and a photo that shows the actress's face. Lively's reps claim the photos are fake, but if so, they are best fakes we've ever seen.
Chris Brown
In 2011, an ex-girlfriend of Chris Brown turned on him and leaked full body nude photos online. The photos showed Brown posed in a bathroom with his new blond-dyed hair. Brown later addressed the photos on radio show "Big Boy's Neighborhood" and brushed off the photo leak, claiming he wasn't ashamed of his body and has no regrets.  (Getty)
Vanessa Williams
In 1984, nude photos of Vanessa Williams cost her the crown as the first black Miss America winner. In the September issue of Penthouse, Bob Guccione had published a series of nude photographs of Williams, posing with another young woman. The photos raked in $24 million for Penthouse, and Williams was pressured by pageant officials and resigned. She lost her title and lost at least $2 million worth of endorsement contracts, according to People magazine.  In her 2009 book, "You Have No Idea," Williams addressed the scandal and wrote that at the time she worried most about how her parents would react.  (Getty)
Vanessa Hudgens
In 2007, then-Disney darling and "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens had nude photos leaked online. The actress, who was 18 at the time, released an apology to fans, saying " want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos." Disney issued a statement about the scandal, explaining: "Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment." (Getty)
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson's nude photos leaked in 2011 after they were hacked from her personal email account. The photos were meant for then-husband Ryan Reynolds, but ended up online for all to see. When asked about the photos in an interview with Vogue magazine, the actress said:  "I don't want to be a victim and say, 'Oh, well' and just hide my head in shame. Somebody stole something from me....It's sick." Getty)
It seems as if Rihanna is hardly ever dressed these days, so we can barely call this a scandal. In 2009, naked photos of the singer surfaced online and were rumored to have been leaked by Rihanna's ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Though the singer isn't shy about her body, she wasn't happy when the photos leaked. She told radio station Hot 97 that it was "the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to" her. "I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that [by the injury photo] and then, when that came out, I thought, 'Oh great, so now there's nothing they don't know about me and my private life.' It was humiliating and it was embarrassing," she said in December 2009. (Getty)
Christina Aguilera
In 2010, semi-nude photos of singer Christina Aguliera leaked online. The photos showed the singer nearly naked, wearing pasties to cover her nipples, and another photo leaked that clearly showed a scar on her underarm from breast implant surgery. Reps for the singer claimed the photos were taken from her stylist's computer and leaked by a hacker. In a statement to the press, her reps said:  "The photos of Christina Aguilera being leaked to the press were illegally obtained by a hacker who tapped into Christina's personal stylist's account. 'We find the actions of the hackers and the press who purchased and/or obtained these photos to be irresponsible and actionable' the statement continued. 'We are attempting to determine the identity of the hackers and will pursue them aggressively. Their conduct is reprehensible.' (Getty)
Paris Hilton
Night vision sex tape, Sidekick hacked. You know the story. In 2005, Hilton's phone was hacked and dozens of nude photos of the reality star hit the web. Some of the photos featured Paris and a female friend kissing and getting cozy. Hilton's contact list was also leaked along with the photos. Hackers posted more than 100 email addresses and phone numbers believed to belong to celebrities, including Ashlee Simpson, Christina Aguilera, Fred Durst, Eminem, Anna Kournikova, Lindsay Lohan, Fergie, Jay-Z, Pharrell Williams and Lil Jon. (Getty)
Christina Hendricks
In March 2012, photos of what appeared to be a topless Christina Hendricks leaked online. A rep for the actress denied that the breast-baring photos were stolen from her phone, claiming that the breasts belonged to another woman. (Getty)
Olivia Munn
Nude photos of Olivia Munn hit the Internet in March 2012, but the actress immediately denied their veracity. The photos include a midriff-baring Munn, a lingerie shot and finally a fully nude photo that does not picture Munn's face -- raising the possibility that the subject is not Munn but a woman who has a similar body type. The photos that picture Munn's face are likely legitimate. Munn herself took to Twitter to laugh off the scandal by posting photos of a baby and a cat and writing, "If you ever hacked my phone, these are the pictures you'd find." Later Munn wrote a hilarious letter to fans, in which she adorably bragged about all the good deeds she was doing while not sending lewd texts, ending with a note about the pictures' obvious fake nature because of certain absent physical traits. (Getty)
"Jersey Shore" star and mother-to-be Snooki has had not one, but two nude photo scandals. The pint-size reality star's nudes first hit the web in April 2010, when a photo was anonymously posted at the website nakedSnooki.com. The photo showed the reality star naked and posed on all fours, with a thought bubble floating over her head, reading: "There are no nude photos nor will there ever be. The tabloids just love snook gossip ;]" The star had another nude photo leak in June 2012, which featured Snooki wearing a white robe left open to reveal her body. A rep for the star told reporters, "Clearly these are old and personal photos that were not meant for the public. It's a shame someone decided to leak them for obvious personal gain."
Pete Wentz
In 2006, photos of Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz's penis rocked the Internet. The photos were orginally posted on the Live Journal gossip site Oh No They Didn't and the incident became known as "Peengate '06" by members.  The original poster reported that she received the photos third-hand, and that Wentz originally sent the pictures to a girlfriend. Wentz later admitted that he handled the leaked photos "pretty terribly for the first 48 hours," and went so far as to quit his band temporarily. "But then then what I realized is that it's not the worst thing on the planet that's ever gonna happen," he told Celebuzz. The entire incident was later parodied in Fall Out Boy's video for "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race". (Getty)
Tori Spelling
We'd hardly call it a scandal, but in November 2011, Tori Spelling's husband, Dean McDermott, accidentally tweeted a photo of his son with his wife topless in the background. McDermott shared the photo with his 74,000 Twitter followers and although he deleted the tweet, the actual photo remained viewable on his Lockerz account for some time. Initially, Spelling, who is nursing her newborn baby girl, Hattie, says she was "shocked" and "devastated" by the blooper. But she took it all in stride. "But it's like, what am I going to do? I am a mom, I was nursing my baby... [Dean] was so devasted about it that I couldn't be mad. I mean it was genuinely an accident," Spelling told CNN. "I would rather it happen now than any other time because when you are nursing, your boobs look better than ever, bold [and] beautiful." (Getty)
Brad Pitt
While on vacation in St. Barts with then-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow in 1995, Brad Pitt was photographed sunbathing nude, and the illegally procured photos were sold and published by Playgirl.  Pitt sued the magazine and a judge ordered Playgirl not to deliver any more copies of its 1997 August edition, which contained the photos, according to the New York Times.
Hayley Williams
Paramore lead singer Haley Williams had a topless photo posted to Twitter and claimed her account had been hacked. The photo appeared to have been taken by the singer, and later explained to fans on Twitter, ""Well...my night just changed drastically. Got hacked."
Taylor Swift
After celebrity skin website Celeb Jihad posted photos of an allegedly topless Swift with the headline "Taylor Swift Topless Private Pic Leaked?" the poised and pretty country crooner is in full attack mode, assuring her fans that she is not the girl in the photo, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The photo in question shows a young blonde, who bares a striking resemblance to Swift, sprawled across a bed wearing only a pair of blue underwear. Swift's lawyers acted quickly, demanding that the fake photo be removed from websites. (Getty)
Renee Olstead
Explicit photos of "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" actress Renee Olstead hit the Internet in March 2011. The then-21-year-old star never commented on the nude photos, but the photos, posted along with several other celebrity nudes, got the FBI involved. (Getty)
Kim Kardashian
A nude photo scandal seems like nothing next to Kim Kardashian's sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray J, but luckily all of her nude photo scandals since the video have turned out to be fake. In April 2012, a photo of a woman frying eggs in a kitchen in the buff surfaced online. While the woman did bare a striking resemblance to Kim, reps for the reality star denied it was her.  And most recently, it was believed that Kim's boyfriend, rapper Kanye West, tweeted a naked photo of his love, but it turned out to be a hoax. The photo in question was actually of porn star Amia Miley, who had tweeted the photo to her own account. Amia told TMZ that she's never hooked up with Kanye, and it turned out the photo was never even posted on Kanye's account. According to TMZ, it's all part of #WanksterWednesday -- a prank day where people try to get bogus rumors started. (Getty)
Ashley Greene
In 2009, topless photos of "Twilight" star Ashley Greene hit the Internet and the actress was not happy. Ashley immediately contacted her attorney, who then threatened to sue anyone who unlawfully posts the pictures. "The photos in question, which appear to be of our client, are illegal and are being unlawfully displayed. Our client intends to take legal action," her lawyer told reporters. (Getty)
Kat Dennings
In 2010, "2 Broke Girls" star Kat Dennings had topless photos hit the web.  The photos showed the actress in her bedroom, lifting up her top to expose her breasts to her webcam. Dennings' photos were leaked along with topless photos of actress Jessica Alba. (Getty)
Heather Morris
In March 2012, "Glee" actress Heather Morris was another star to have nude photos leaked online in a string of photo leaks. The photos show a serious of cellphone self-portraits and a variety of poses. Some photos show the star in skimpy athletic gear, and others show her modeling her sexy Britney Spears-inspired costume for the "I'm a Slave 4 U" number she performed on "Glee." (Getty)
Jessica Alba
In 2010, Jessica Alba fell victim to a hacker who leaked topless photos of the star, who was pregnant with daughter Honor Marie. The photos showed her growing belly and one shot showed the star pulling down her shirt to expose her nipple. (Getty)
We'd be surprised if Ke$ha didn't have a nude photo or two online. In 2010, a topless photo of the singer, who describes herself as a "hot hobo," hit the Internet. The photo showed the singer topless with an arrow pointing at her chest along with a sexually-explicit description. Later, two more photos leaked that showed the singer engaging in sexual acts. (Getty)
Kristin Davis
In 2008 alleged nude photos of "Sex and the City" star Kristin Davis leaked online. The photos were taken in 1992 by her then-boyfriend Eric Stapelman, and it was rumored that the pictures were stills from a sex tape. Reps for the actress denied the photos were of Davis, telling TMZ, "This is not a photo of Kristin Davis. There is no sex tape." (Getty)
Kanye West
In 2010, Kanye West snapped pictures of his penis and sent them to multiple women--who shopped the photos around to various media outlets. One image shows a nude Kanye from the chest up, wearing sunglasses and a gold chain, while the second photo shows the singer's genitals provocatively exposed from his boxer briefs. The rapper's song "Runway" also happens to describe his nude photo leak perfectly: "She find pictures in my email/I sent this girl a picture of my dick." (Getty)
Rob Lowe
In 1989, then-22-year-old Rob Lowe was caught in a sex tape where it was discovered one of the girls was underage. In an interview with Oprah in 2011, he spoke about the tape:  "Let me just say this -- sometimes being a trailblazer is highly overrated," Lowe said of what was the first celebrity sex tape. He also went on to insist that he was absolutely sure the underage girl was 21 at the time, when asked about finding out that she was only 16. "'Ha! A little too late!'" he said. (Getty)
Brett Favre
In 2010, photos of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre's penis surfaced online after he sent naked photos to 26-year-old sports reporter Jenn Sterger. According to the report on Deadspin, Favre contacted Sterger via MySpace when he was with the New York Jets and began leaving her voicemails. When Sterger declined, Favre reportedly sent her multiple pictures of his penis. (Getty)
Amber Rose
In 2011 nude photos of Amber Rose leaked online and had the model in tears for days. According to the NYDN, Amber was distraught after a trusted friend leaked explicit pictures of her online. The photos show Amber completely nude and touching herself and ran along side a Media Take Out story claiming that she send the images to Nicki Minaj's boyfriend. Both Amber and Nicki denied the story, but the photos of the model were in fact real.
