Deadline in Doha
By Emilie Johann, guest blogger in Doha for CIDSE Overall, discussions have been difficult and ministerial roundtables have taken several thorny issues from the technical to the political level. Will Ministers be up for the challenge to inject some political will and move beyond national interests to respond to the urgent needs of the poorest and for the sake of our common future? Concerning the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (KP) there is no sign of progress on ambition. The EU will not move beyond its current -20% target unless other parties move, and it is unwilling to consider the cancellation of carbon credits in KP2. So far none of the parties present have announced urgently needed more ambitious emission cuts. A weak KP2 is a bad sign in terms of the trust and ambition needed to build a new global climate deal which includes all parties, not […]
Wake up call for the Doha climate talks
By guest blogger Roeland Scholtalbers, CIDSE Media & Communication Officer in Doha After a week of negotiations with little to no progress, Ministers arrive in Doha among increasing uncertainty about a positive outcome of the climate talks. Once a modest fishing village, Doha rapidly transformed into a busy capital of a rich nation when enormous gas reserves were discovered. The plane that took me to Qatar circulated for nearly an hour in the dark above the luminous city. It felt like hanging over a giant pinball machine and I couldn't help wondering whether planet earth was going to finish beyond the flippers of the climate change negotiations. Organised by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), this year's climate talks entered their second and final week yesterday (Monday, December 3rd). Today, Government Ministers make their appearance in Doha to firm up agreements their climate negotiators prepared during 2012 […]

Once upon a time, there were three right-handed pitching prospects. You couldn't mention one without the other, and you couldn't step into an Internet tavern without getting into it with some prospect maven. The three pitchers, in the order that Baseball America ranked them:
Right-handed pitching prospects, 2007
1. Philip Hughes
2. Homer Bailey
3. Tim Lincecum
Among all prospects, Hughes was No. 4 and Lincecum was No. 11, so it's not like there was a huge gulf between them. They were the elite of the elite. And for a while, they were a great distribution of how elite pitching prospects turn out.
One became a star, a top-of-the-rotation pitcher with multiple Cy Youngs. One showed flashes of brilliance and looked like he was on his way, before reduced velocity and shoulder problems stopped him short. One was maddeningly inconsistent. As of the middle of last year, everything seemed like it was already settled with these three.
That's usually how it works. Take three elite pitching prospects, shake them up, and roll them on the craps table, and that'd be a common roll. Well, not a third of the pitchers will win Cy Youngs, but you get the point. Pitching prospects travel down a conveyor belt, and they're mechanically sorted into the success, injury, or ambiguity chutes. Hughes, Bailey, and Lincecum exhibited that process nicely.
We figured that was the end of the story. But the 2012 season reminds us that pitching never stops being mysterious. Lincecum suffered an historical tumble, and he's the only one of the three who won't get a postseason start. Hughes moved from burgeoning star to liability back to enigma.
And here's Homer Bailey with a chance to be the most consistent of the three after all.
Here's what Baseball America wrote about Bailey in the 2007 Prospect Handbook:
While Bailey impressed scouts and prospect-watchers all season, he popped up on the national radar with a Joel Zumayaesque inning at the Futures Game. Bailey threw 20 pitches, topping out at 98 mph and not dipping under 92.
Well, that guy is gone, but his fastball was one of the fastest in the majors. His fastball averaged 91 during his no-hitter, often dipping into the high-80s, but that was something of a late-season anomaly. His velocity has remained intact since he became a full-time member of the Reds' rotation.
So if his radar readings are the same, is there something different with his delivery? Here's two GIFs, with 2010 Bailey on the left and 2012 on the right. Note that on the broadcast they were talking about Adrian Gonzalez hitting 70 home runs if he moved to a hitters' park.
I'm not a mechanics wonk, but it looks pretty similar to me. So what's different about Bailey?
2010: 3.74
2011: 4.06
2012: 3.97
2010: 3.75
2011: 3.77
2012: 3.94
2010: 4.46
2011: 4.43
2012: 3.68
Nothing. The answer might be nothing. There are certain pitchers who continually underperform when it comes to fielding-independent metrics, and every year, we wait for them to get better, and they never do. Looking at you, Ricky Nolasco. But the sample wasn't that big for Bailey. He had two seasons of allowing more runs than his peripherals indicated he should.
And, like at the end of an awful Shamalayan movie, we have our twist. What if Homer Bailey was the most consistent of the three prospects all along? The velocity goblins got to Lincecum, and his command has vanished. Hughes is still something of an enigma, with his FIP over the last two seasons sticking around the 4.50 range. But Bailey seemingly turned a corner that he might have turned two years ago without anyone noticing.
In five years, things could be flipped around again. Heck, we could be writing about Andrew Miller coming back and shaming them all.
Pitching's a weird business, but for right now, Homer Bailey seems like he's figuring it out. Maybe he has been for a while.

I suspect Jerry Jones woke up Thursday morning with a smile on his face as wide as the state of Texas.
Wednesday, after all, had to rank as one of the Cowboys' owner's best days ever, don't you think?
The day began with a Forbes survey substantiating his well-documented opulence to the tune of a little more than $2 billion, establishing him as the NFL's fattest cat by a wide margin.
Then, on Wednesday night on a national stage, his football team pulled off an impressive upset over the defending Super Bowl champion Giants in the Meadowlands, overshadowing everything else going on in this great country of ours, including Bill Clinton's endorsement of President Barack Obama.
In my first 60-second rant of the 2012 NFL season, here's my first thought worth pondering: Did I underestimate Dallas this season?
With key offensive players seemingly at less than full strength because of injuries to TE Jason Witten, WRs Miles Austin and Dez Bryant and RB DeMarco Murray, I certainly didn't expect the Cowboys to pile up 433 yards in their 24-17 victory.
Of course, nobody on the planet expected some guy named Kevin Ogletree to be an instant fantasy-football sensation with eight catches for 114 yards, including a pair of TDs and a 13-yard third-down reception late in the game to seal the deal.
While it remains to be seen just how a real a deal Ogletree is, the biggest reason I find myself reevaluating the Cowboys' playoff potential this morning is their quarterback, Tony Romo, who I believe couldn't have done a better job of trashing his reputation as a late-game choker.
I've always had a soft spot for Romo, as much because I just love the guy's name as anything. I don't know if there actually ever was a Vegas lounge singer named Tony Romo, but it sure seems like there should have been. And Romo has always had that gambling flair in his play, which I always have found entertaining.
More often than not throughout his career, though, that flair has been a detriment, with ill-advised, boneheaded plays at the worst possible time becoming an m.o. of sorts.
But last night, that clinching pass to Ogletree was a gamble that generated a major payoff — and perhaps a major upswing in Romo's confidence moving forward.
Another reason I might have underestimated the Cowboys is the extent to which I might have overestimated the Giants, although it's important to remember that it's only Week One.
But a Giants secondary already missing CBs Terrell Thomas and Prince Amukamara suffered a further blow when CB Michael Coe limped off the field late in the game with a hamstring injury. In addition, New York's ground game couldn't hold a candle to a Cowboys ground game featuring Murray, who cranked out 131 yards on 20 carries. Entering the season, I envisioned Giants RB David Wilson as a sleeper for top rookie honors, based on the way he looked in preseason. But an early fumble last night might have landed Wilson in Tom Coughlin's doghouse for a spell.
I'm not ready to rearrange my NFC East predictions, but suffice it to say the Cowboys' effort last night sure has me thinking.
One last thought: After watching Romo get the best of Eli Manning, I now find myself looking very forward to watching Eli's brother, Peyton, cap off the first regular-season Sunday of the 2012 season in his first game in a Broncos uniform on a national stage against the Steelers.
Will Week One end up being a week both Eli and Peyton would rather forget? Or will Peyton pull a fast one on his detractors, including yours truly, who think four neck surgeries might have taken their toll with a vintage prime-time performance that keeps the family name in good standing?
I can hardly wait to find out.

Libraries are welcoming to all and we're particularly keen to encourage use by children and adults who have difficulties with reading. If you haven't been into a library for a while we think you'll be very pleasantly surprised by what's on offer.
Anyone with a condition which makes reading a problem, such as dyslexia, is entitled to concessionary membership which offer customers special borrowing rights.
We have a great range of books on cassette, CD and for download. Most of them are unabridged though we also have some shorter versions as well. The titles you see on the library shelves are just a very small part of the total collection so do check the catalogue or ask library staff to do it for you.
Print Disabled and Concessionary Audio-Visual Card holders are allowed to reserve audio books in Hampshire's stock free of charge.
Libraries have always been the best source of large print books which use a bigger, clearer typeface. Some people assume they must be abridged but they're not. Many with eyesight problems prefer them while others simply find them more convenient.
If you haven't got the time or the inclination to get into a full-length book, you should try one of the new Quick Reads. These are short, well-written books aimed at grabbing your interest. You can get Quick Reads in three different forms
These are books which tell a story using a combination of words and drawings in box strips, like a comic. The variety of subject matter and the quality of the art work make them very popular with all ages, especially teenagers.
Books from this collection are aimed at helping adults to improve their essential skills like reading and numbers. Also available are short reading books for different levels of ability. Some of these come with tapes and CDs.
The publisher Barrington Stoke produces a range of books specifically for children with dyslexia and those who are struggling or reluctant readers. These are shorter stories that are easy to read on cream coloured pages.
The are kept in author order in the main children's stories and teen sections and are slim books, but the publisher's name Barrington Stoke can always be seen on the spine. If you cannot find any on our shelves, please ask a member of staff for help. You can also reserve items from home using the library catalogue for a small charge.
It's an odd name but a great idea for helping certain people including those who have to rely on audio formats, like tape and CD, for their reading. The scheme makes it possible for a reader to borrow stock from all over the UK just by visiting their local library.
The scheme requires that you fill out a declaration form which will enable you to request items free of charge.
All libraries provide free access to computers, giving access the internet and a range of software.
The Supernova program is available in every library and magnifies the screen and can also read everything on it in an electronic voice.
Many libraries have CCTV magnifiers which enlarge books, maps, photographs – in fact whatever you can fit underneath them.
Some models allow the colour scheme to be changed so that print, for example, doesn't have to be black on white.

Catania have confirmed that Fulham have put in a bid for Argentinean striker Maxi Lopez. The 27-year-old has been linked to AC Milan in recent weeks as a fallback option if they cannot secure Carlos Tevez's services and the expectation has been that he will be sold to another Italian club, but now Fulham have jumped in with a bid to try and beat out their Italian competitors.
"On Maxi Lopez there are no developments as yet, but an offer has been received from Fulham and we are evaluating it,'' Catania sporting director Pietro Lo Monaco told Radio Mana Mana. "We are waiting to see what the Italian clubs will do.
"AC Milan are definitely out, while we will see what happens with Fiorentina. Lazio? I don't think they need Maxi.''
There is no word on how much Fulham's bid was worth, but with some stiff competition for the striker, it is certainly to be a decent chunk of change. The Cottagers sure do need help in the goal scoring department too with just 22 goals in 20 Premier League matches this season, although there have been signs of Bryan Ruiz finding his legs in England and it wouldn't be difficult to argue that the club's goal struggles are more a midfield problem than striker problem.
With Bobby Zamora and Martin Jol not on the best of terms and Andy Johnson rumored to be on the way out, adding a striker with 24 goals in 66 Serie A matches like Lopez would be a nice boost for Fulham. Really, any striker would be a nice boost if Zamora and Johnson are both shown the door.

"Some of the best adventure writing in years!" (Science Fiction Chronicle)
"Kept my interest"
It took a little bit of time for me to get "into" the story. But once I did, I didn't want to stop listening. The characters were engaging and the action riviting. The narrator did a great job giving each character a distinct voice. He didn't sound silly doing women's voices either. My only complaint was with the author's use of the words "evenly", "coldly" and "grimly". It got to be tiresome to hear those words over and over and over again to describe how someone was speaking. Other than that, I would now like to find out what happens next! Looks like I must get the next book!
"Bad Writing"
Good story, bad writing.
As a previous review said, every time someone says something in this book, they say it coldly, evenly, or grimly. Or they are grim faced when they say it. Sometimes it happens multiple times in the same paragraph/conversation. Sometimes what they person is saying wouldn't be said in those ways. It doesn't help that the narrator says the lines no differently, even when our author tags them that way.
Speaking of the narrator, I think he used to do voices for american cartoons, because everything he says sounds to enunciated and excited. Really annoying. When he starts to do voices and accents it is much better, but his normal voice really gets annoying.
The story itself is pretty good, if you can get yourself past the writing flaws. A civil war battalion gets lost in another world populated by peoples from various places and times in Earth history. Oh, and man eating giant monster mongols. Cue war.
Do an internet search for Fortschen grimly, coldly, and you will get tons of returns on excerpts from his other books where people say the same things. I blame his editor for not fixing his poor use of those same three adverbs. Most of the time they weren't needed, and they ruined an otherwise good book for me. I spent the last part of it beating my head against a desk.
It gets worse towards the end, almost as if he is getting more and more lazy as he writes. Oh well.
"Civil War Sci Fi - Authentic and Surprising"
This is the first in a series of books known as the "Lost Regiment" series, and I wish they were all on audio books, however, you have to read this. It is historically accurrate insofar as the regiment goes. It should be, its written by a historian. What happens to the regiment and the story to follow you'll have to read for yourself, but it is a great, exciting, edge of the seat story you won't be able to put down until the end. It leaves you wanting more...to find out what happens after this initial story is concluded.
I hope audible.com puts the rest of the series to audio and I hope some producer takes this story and makes a movie...its ready to be a hit!
"Good story, some reservations"
This is a new series to me (though I've read Forstchen's "One Second After" and recommend it to anyone and everyone) -- and it was an entertaining listen.
As several other reviewers mentioned, the author's choice of adverbs is a bit limited and repetitious. If it had been written in software that has a word search, one could eliminate abut 75% of the uses of "evenly" and not lose a thing.
There are some other "oops" moments, as well, as Forstchen seems to forget occasionally that the protagonist has but one arm, and would have a bit of trouble leading a charge on horseback while brandishing a sabre or firing a weapon. There are several instances in which characters of different cultures and different languages have no trouble conversing without an interpreter... But the striking omission to me is the lack of attention to the feelings of the regiment over losing the link to ALL their loved ones in the "tunnel of light" event. The author devotes just a couple of paragraphs to this, which would have an overwhelming effect on everyone in the regiment.
Despite all that, Forstchen really knows how to write battle scenes, and keep them exciting and engaging. Lawlor's narration is fine once you get used to him, and I liked the listening experience well enough to order the next one in the series.
"Good concept"
I liked the concept but it was poorly executed. At times the book was superb but mostly it seemed to be written for young adults. I may read more just to see if the author can do better.
"Great Book - Great Series"
Having read the entire series and then have the first book on audio is great. The historical accuracy of the regiment is fundamentally accurate - How they react to such an unknown threat such as it is, I believe is as humanly accurate as you can get. I enjoyed re-reading it and enjoyed listening to it. I look forward to the rest of the series to be added to this audio collection. If you like stepping outside the box, you will not be disappointed here.
"U.S. Civil War campaign to the stars"
Can Civil War tactics and technology free a people far from Earth form masters more terrible and hard hearted than the worst slave master in the South? This book is filled with well written action with good character development by a writer who has studied the Civil War period in such detail he can make you feel you are right there with the clouds of gray smoke and the sounds of battle all around people you have learned to care about who are just doing the best they can out numbered and far from home.
"Save your money."
I'm usually not one to complain, but I barely made it through this one. The plot and characters were underdeveloped and unimaginative, the narration was one-dimentional and strange (Over-Enunciated), and I thought worst of all was the author's dire need of a thesaurus. I'm all for onimonipia, but not everything on earth goes "snap". I'd pass this one up.
"Kept my interest!"
The similarities between this book and the Destroyermen series are just amazing! I'm sure neither author was aware of the other, but the number of congruent plot details is quite fun to note.
I found this book was fun to listen to as a stand-alone series, but I found myself wishing that I was listening to the next book in the Destroyermen series, instead. (Which isn't really fair to Rally Cry as I prefer the WWII era).
I think that if you're into the Civil War era and SciFi/Fantasy, then you would like this book.
I'll probably get the next book in the series, sometime.
71 year old avid reader using either my eyes or ears. I make earrings that I donate to shelters and while I work, I listen to wonderful books. I also keep in mind that you have to kiss frogs to find princes - time's too short to bother with losers.
"Couldn't get into it"
This might have been a good listen but I couldn't get far enough into it to find out. The narrator is bland and sounds like he's reading rather than telling a story. I've read one other by this author (try One Second After - great read) so I thought I'd give this a try (and it was on sale). And I often try books by really prolific authors figuring that if lots of his stuff gets published there must be something there.
Sorry, Mr. Forstchen, I can't waste my time on books I'm not enjoying.

'Nude but not lewd' airport protester beat indecency rap but is still fighting $1K TSA fine
By Martha Neil
May 10, 2013, 05:15 pm CDT
A tech worker who took it all off at the Portland, Ore., airport last year as a protest of security measures, was acquitted at trial later in 2012 by a Multnomah County judge of the indecent exposure charge that resulted.
But the celebration after John E. Brennan's criminal court victory last year was a bit premature.
Approximately one month later, the Transportation Security Administration slapped him with a $1,000 fine, contending that he had broken a rule that says passengers cannot "interfere with, assault, threaten, or intimidate" TSA screeners, the Oregonian reports.
At 9 a.m. Tuesday, the 50-year-old is scheduled to appear in court before a federal administrative law judge as he appeals the sanction. He will be represented by Portland attorney Robert Callahan.
The lawyer, who is handling the case pro bono, contends that the TSA fined his client after Brennan won his criminal case "because they didn't like to lose."
And it appears likely, at least in the short term, that the TSA may continue to prevail. Callahan said the administrative law judge is not allowed to consider the free-speech defense that led to Brennan's victory in last year's criminal trial.
But he can assert a constitutional rights defense in subsequent appeals to federal district court and the U.S. Court of Appeals.

Pretty important claim, IMHO. Let's treat this with grave concern and go inside the very important numbers.
There are 18 two-win FBS teams at the moment. According to this week's advanced stats, Arizona ranks in the top 35 despite holding a 2-5 record, while Utah State likewise ranks in the nation's upper half. The Aggies' claims to fame: almost beating BYU, almost beating Colorado State and almost beating ... hey, look! Auburn at Jordan-Hare in Week 1. Thus, if Ole Miss is really even better than Utah State, the Tigers are in for a long Saturday.

Thing seems old and the filters it came with are not what I expected. For $17 I'm not complaining.
Bought four of these, and three were brand new, and one was used but like new! Had persons name on it and had an extra set of filters!! These are awesome collectors items, and great shape with a great case! Don't miss if this is your thing!
Compares with similar Combloc NBC masks. A terrific collectable.
I use this for a dust mask in desert racing , it is great.
Looks new, everything is still in original wrapping. Mask is a little too small for my gorilla sized head though.

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

The Oegstgeest bowl and the bones of a giant king mentioned in Beowulf
Recently, archeologists of Leiden University made an excavation in Oegstgeest, where they found a unique silver bowl from the first half of the seventh century as well as imported pottery and winebarrels. Thijs Porck, lecturer in Old English language and culture at Leiden University, places the Oegstgeest finds in a literary-historical context. "It wouldn't surprise me if the Leiden archaeologists soon encountered a pair of oversized bones."

An Albany woman is facing forgery charges after Dougherty County officials say she was receiving rent checks from tenants and keeping them for herself.
Diahanna B. Mcculloch is charged with five counts of 4th degree forgery.
Authorities say Mcculloch, who is the property manager of Paradise Village Mobile Home Park on Holly Drive, was forging money orders that she received when tenants would pay their rent.
According to a report, Mcculloch had altered the names on money orders and cashed them in. Officials say she took in approximately $1,800.
She was arrested and taken to the Dougherty County jail.
There was no immediate word on a bond amount.

Is Sony rolling out its promised 'unilateral' pricing strategy?
Last month, we reported that Sony was planning to roll out a "unilateral" pricing strategy in the US on April 1st. This would essentially put an absolute minimum on what its retail partners could charge for Sony products, and its starting to look like this new strategy is rolling out as promised. Some posters on AVS Forum noticed that the price of Sony's 65-inch Bravia X929 HDTV jumped over $1000 overnight on Amazon.com, and a look at price-tracking site Camelcamelcamel.com confirms this jump. Best Buy and B&H are also both selling the TV for within a dollar of this price, with AVS Forum posts claiming this is a major price increase at the latter retailer as well. While there are definitely still variations in the price of Sony's products across the internet, we've found a number of other examples of Sony TVs getting major price increases at Amazon today, with several other retailers showing similar pricing. We knew that 2011 was a bad year for TV makers almost across the board, so we'll see if higher prices help Sony's bottom line.

Schiano ran a fake punt in that Saints game. there was nothing wrong with it. Good call.
So for argument sake why is this an acceptable exhibition of lack of sportsmanship however Schiano got so much grief for the Giants kneel down play?
not a fan of carroll's moves.
Don't worry about Morgan.... she's got a lot going on in her head right now
SF was up 31-3 last night before NE came storming back to tie it. You wouldn't be OK with SF faking a punt when they were up 31-3?I'm specifically talking about yesterday and not the game where Seattle was up 50 something points.

WILMINGTON, Del., June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Efficiency Grid LLC (Efficiency Grid - "Savings on Demand") announces the recent addition of two new key management team members, reinforcing its scientific and technology-oriented approach to hotel building energy control.
Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140616/118378

Wolfgang Lukaschek, MSc. and Dr. Ekawahyu Susilo are bringing substantial value to the Efficiency Grid management team as CBO (Chief Building Scientist) and CTO (Chief Technology Officer) respectively. These roles will bolster the company's efforts to become the forefront provider of performance based energy efficiency and demand response in the rapidly growing global hotel energy management market.
According to the clean-tech startup's Co-Founder Demetrio Tessada, "Big automation companies and market newcomers aren't applying building science into their products the way we are. This need is born from our results oriented business strategy and our deep understanding of how building energy works from past experiences. In the past, vendors didn't really care that much about their product's performance once they were sold, this was always the customer's (building operators) problem. Wolfgang is a very experienced building scientist, he has worked extensively with both renewable energy and building dynamics. Having worked as a researcher at UC Berkeley developing modules for the US Department of Energy EnergyPlus software, he understands the models and what doesn't work about them, well. This ties together both key aspects of the new energy economy which are very important to consider in tandem. We are building real building physics, thermodynamics and human psychology into our energy control algorithms to absolutely maximize both performance and occupant comfort. He is also building our automated platforms for data analysis and project M&V performance (Measurement and Verification) that will be the backbone of our offering. As far as we are aware, there is nobody in the market tying all these aspects together. We are setting a new standard for the industry."
Mr. Lukaschek said, "After working in this field as both a researcher and project engineering manager I have seen the difference between what happens theoretically and in the field. I have known this team for a long time and am very proud to finally work together with them to make big improvements on today's standards."
Dr. Susilo is one of the world's foremost prize winning miniaturized electronics and robotics scientists. He is working closely with Efficiency Grid CEO and product manager Phillip Kopp to develop new solutions to building energy control, what they have dubbed "energy middleware." As a new member of the Efficiency Grid team Dr. Susilo commented, "I am very excited about the potential of what we are working on. My career has been focused on low cost, deeply embedded microelectronic manufacturing. I see the vision of this company for my personal passion, the Internet of Things and how we can apply my work into something with such huge market potential. We want to make energy control affordable, scalable, reliable and most importantly, monetizable."
About Efficiency Grid: Efficiency Grid LLC is a start-up addressing the projected $1 Billion hotel energy management market. Efficiency Grid provides end-to-end solutions that help commercial building owners and operators reduce HVAC and lighting energy usage. Their goal is to develop a large network of "Virtual Power Plants" using inventory focused in hotel buildings. This includes what they have dubbed "energy middleware" which includes hardware and software solutions that enable building operators, utilities, consumers and financing partners to successfully implement energy retrofit projects.

I think this actually may be part of his health care plan. To prevent them from entering government health care roles. It's probably a part of his immigration policy too.
This really is not that surprising. The information was out there that as an Illinois senator he was against the banning of late term partial birth abortions.

Lowa Scarab II
4-star: 1
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
The Lowa Scarab II is a pure trail shoe. They are…
Price Paid: $90
The Lowa Scarab II is a pure trail shoe. They are heavier than a trail runner but lighter than a light ankle-cut boot, coming in at 2 lbs. 4 oz. for the pair. The uppers are sued with mesh inserts.
The sole is fairly low profile, not too aggressive, but enough tread for most of what you would encounter on-trail save the super-slick wet rocks or roots:
I have logged many miles on these shoes, exclusively for day hikes and outdoor recreation. They are quite durable, need no time to break in, and the insole fits my foot quite well. Since the upper is mostly suede these shoes will prove to be more durable than your average trail runner, but they don't breathe all that well. Additionally, the mesh sections are thick and don't provide a whole lot in terms of ventilation.
This is great if you hike in cooler, dry conditions. If you tend to hike in hot/muggy/wet conditions, I would look at something with a little more ventilation – Roclite's these aren't. Another benefit to the thicker mesh sections is that it tends to keep the debris out better.
Lowa has a reputation for quality, which is evident even in shoes such as these which would be considered the bottom of their line. I think these shoes occupy a valuable little niche, somewhere between trail runner and light boot. Unfortunately, these are no longer made, but they deserve a good review.
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
For those who spend as much time outdoors as at the gym, this multipurpose shoe from Lowa will perform throughout your fitness routine. Traction sole perfect for all your summer adventures -- on or off-road. Suede uppers with mesh inserts dry quickly Climate-control insole keeps your feet cool Weight: 2 lb. 4 oz. pr. Medium width CLOSEOUTS . Slovakia.
- Sierra Trading Post refers to the men's version
Lowa® Scarab II cross-training shoes are the optimum combination of lightness, design and performance. Great for warm-weather activity. Flexible split-grain leather uppers with nylon mesh panels offer durable and lightweight breathability and performance. Tongue and heel loops allow easy entry and exit; padded tongues and webbing eyelets allow snug security across instep. Quick-drying nylon linings absorb excess moisture and disperse it for faster drying. Removable, anatomically shaped footbeds add cushioning and feature wicking topsheets for moisture control. Durable polyurethane midsoles with rigid nylon shanks provide ample cushioning, support and protection from rough and rocky terrain. Durable thermoplastic urethane outsoles have multi-directional lug design for positive traction and braking on all types of surfaces. Closeout.
- REI refers to the men's version

The Scarab II has been discontinued.previously retailed for:
$34.83 - $89.49
The Lowa Scarab II is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen December 9, 2007 at Sierra Trading Post.

Municipal Advisors
Issue Brief:
The AICPA generally supports the SEC's proposed rules as a means to strengthen investor protections in the municipal securities market. The AICPA is concerned, however, because the proposed rule would require that accountants performing customary and usual accounting services would be required to register as municipal advisors.

VIDEO OF THE DAY - Gordon's gaffe
There's an old joke about somebody famous who goes off to the loo and forgets that they're wearing a radio mike.
It's often been told with the name of the celebrity and what is overheard changing. We've probably all heard it in one form or another, surely?
Clearly Gordon Brown has been sheltered from some urban legends.
Why oh why oh why did anybody allow this to happen?
We're completely apolitical here, but you have to feel a bit sorry for him, don't you?
Sound quality's impressive though isn't it...?

text: Great album. Really it's a full length album and an EP on 1 disk. Must have for any Meshuggah fan. It is good even as an introduction to Meshuggah for fans of other types of metal. Newer albums like obZen may be too "harsh" or "extreme" for some. Like all Meshuggah tunes much of the CD is very "math metal" oriented but this disk is more likely to please the thrash/groove inclined metal heads. It also has some extremely jazz-infused moments. Highly recommended. I might have given it five stars but I reserve that for my most favorite items.

It was an early morning for Ken Neckar.
"I started at 4:30 this morning," he said.
Neckar is a maintenance worker at the Marshfield YMCA. It's his job to make sure the sidewalks and parking lots are safe.
"Just took care of the snow out in the parking lot and on the sidewalks and everything to make sure that our customers and members didn't have any problem when they came," said Neckar.
It's an important job on a snow day. YMCA leaders said they see an increase in children spending the day there.
"There is a lot of action going on in the building during our snow days… we bring in extra staff on days like today just so the kids are in an even more safe environment," said Amanda Blaskowski, YMCA youth and family director.
Students said they enjoy having the day off, even if they are spending it inside.
"We don't have school, and I like coming here to go in the fit for life room and exercising," said Faith Blaskowski, a kindergartner at Washington Elementary School in Marshfield.
"I would say it's more fun to be here than it is at school," said Dylan Milam, a fourth grader at Washington Elementary School.
YMCA leaders said children enjoyed a fun filled day that included swimming, basketball in the gym and a movie.
Neckar said that's why his early start was worth it.
"As they come in and out, they thank us for the sidewalks being clean and salted… so, it feels good," said Neckar.

After three years spent largely as a backup for three teams, DE Jason Babin signed with the Titans in March. Tennessee's defensive scheme appealed to him. So did playing for legendary Titans DL coach Jim Washburn, known for his teaching — and his temper.
"Most people that know him, it's either you love him or you hate him," Babin told PFW of Washburn. "I know guys I'm friends with that played here in that position, and they told me what they did and how he coached, how (they) played and how they spoke of them. From (Bengals DE) Antwan (Odom) to (Lions DE) Kyle (Vanden Bosch), they spoke extremely highly of him. So I've been trying to get here for more than just last year. It just finally worked out that way."
Babin, who's on a one-year contract, notched 10 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble as the starting left defensive end in the Titans' first two games with William Hayes out with a knee injury. Given an opportunity to play, Babin has produced.
"The last three years, it was, 'Yeah, yeah, you got a shot, but no matter what you do, it's not going to happen,' " Babin said, chuckling. Babin signed with Tennessee, he said, because he was promised a "legit shot" at playing time.
Babin, a first-round pick of the Texans in 2004, was traded to Seattle in September '07, but he played in just four games in two seasons before being released in September '08. Babin, who noted that the importance of being eco-friendly was about the only thing he learned during his time playing in Seattle, claimed he "could never get a straight answer" from the Seahawks as to why he didn't play more. He signed with the Chiefs in November '08, then moved on to Philadelphia in August '09 as a free agent.
In Tennessee, he plays in a defense that suits him — and for a demanding but fair position coach in Washburn, he said.
"The thing about him is, he might yell, he might cuss, he might yell at you, but when you do something right, get a sack, he's hugging you up, he's happy for you, he's proud of you, he lets you know," Babin said.
The Titans have given him a chance, and Babin likes that they have kept their promise.
"They told me one thing, and guess what? That's what it was," he said.

Rowland was presented the award by Drummond's widow, Abbie, and son, Patrick, during Thursday's annual 2014 Fundraising Luncheon for the Mountain District of the Boy Scouts of America. The district covers Walker, Winston, Marion, Fayette and Lamar counties.
The award, which is named after the late Drummond Co. executive E. A. "Larry" Drummond, is designed to honor an individual who has provided years of unselfish giving to the Boy Scouts and by a life lived according to the 12 points of Scout law.
Rowland has been a friend to Scouting for many years, said presenter Jimmy Lee, a longtime friend to Larry Drummond. "He has served over 60 years as a Boy Scout and as an adult Scout leader. Both of Rowland's sons are Eagle Scouts, were staff members at Camp Horne and attained membership in the Order of the Arrow, a national honor society of the Boy Scouts of America.
Rowland has served as chairman of the Mountain District and president of the Black Warrior Council.
Rowland, who spent 32 years as president of Walker College, is a veteran of World War II, serving from 1942-1946. He also served 35 years on active duty or in the reserves. He retired in 2006 as a colonel and was bestowed the honor of Legion of Merit.
Grady Hendrix was the first recipient of the prestigious award.

Does anyone have a name or description for the traverse right from the bolts on Dappled Mare to the top of Mare's Tail?
Edgar Rice Burros 5.10c: P1: Climb the short face to the sloping ledge. 2 bolts, thin. 40 ft. P2: Climb Dappled Mare straight up to the bolt belay. 80 ft. P3: From the bolt belay, head diagonally right and up on a thin crack. 160 ft. It's in the Miramontes guidebook, pg 106. The first pitch starts to the right of Dappled Mare and climbs straight up to the sloping ledge. There is no indication of whether P1 or P3 is the crux.
Awesome. Thanks for the info.
