Waxman-Markey Clothier for the Emperor: A Climate Parable (response to RealClimate)
[Editor Note: This is a response to the commons analogy of Gavin Schmidt at RealClimate to Mr. Knappenberger's temperature analysis of Waxman-Markey]
"Hear ye, hear ye, the Emperor is parading by with his new wardrobe of ideas to save the world from global warming—a wardrobe painstakingly crafted for him by the tailor shop of Waxman-Markey—and which all of you will soon have to adopt. All hail the Emperor!"
"But he has nothing on!" cried a small, but persistent voice. "His expensive ideas do nothing to change the climate!"
"Hush, little boy." "Quiet!" "Shhhh." "Shut up!" "That kid doesn't see the whole picture!"
"The whole picture?" the little voice persisted. "What more is there to see, the Emperor is standing bare in front of us and wants us all to think otherwise!"
"But that is not the point, little boy," the crowd jeered. "It is not just our Emperor and all of us that the Waxman-Markey tailors intend to outfit, but once the other emperors of the world see the duds that our Emperor is sporting, they will all clamor to insist that their subjects do the same thing. In time, what seems as bare now, will be transformed into something glorious!"
"Not so fast," counters a foreign voice. "If the question is whether India will take on [a wardrobe of] binding emission reduction commitments, the answer is no. It is morally wrong for us to agree to reduce when 40 percent of Indians do not have access to electricity."
Another studied voice rises "Binding emissions targets for the developing nations are out of the question."
As the Emperor starts to squirm in front to the now more insightful crowd, the Waxman-Markey tailory comes to the rescue. "Maybe we took a little too much off here." "Maybe we could let that out a bit there." "It'll be OK, we can pretty everything up, trim a little off the bottom line, and make it more acceptable to everybody."
"Fiddling with nothing still leaves nothing," pointed out the boy. naked."
And so it went. Waxman-Markey scrambling to patch things up, while their supporters urged them not to do too much, lest the new wardrobe look too much like the old one.
In the meantime, the rest of the crowd was starting to see the real picture—not just the fish tales and illusions set up by the purveyors of the Waxman-Markey climate shop.
But no matter what the Waxman-Markey tailors ultimately come up with and no matter how much the Emperor (via all his subjects) ends up paying for it, the Emperor's new fashion line alone will have no impact future course of global warming—in essense he will stand naked even though appearing extravegantly robed.
If our Emporer ultimately chooses to accept what Waxman-Markey provides him and insists that we all embrace his new fashion line, expect that for a long while our new wardrobe is going to seem like a closet full of hairshirts. Let's just hope that the expense of these burdonsome and uncomfortable garments will someday be worth what we've all had to pay and that eventually we will grow accustom to them.
In the meantime, we must hope that the rest of the world, and their traditional sense of style, isn't more appropriately outfitted for the future.

W-M is about raising revenue, not about "saving the globe". The tailors will make money on the new wardrobe, even if the emperor's "floppy bits" are "blowin' in the wind".
The discussion of W-M is focused on allowance auction revenue, rather than the investments which would have to be made to actually reduce carbon emissions by 83% by 2050.
For a refreshing change of perspective, contemplate which carbon emissions would likely compose the 17% of 2005 carbon emissions remaining after 2050.

The point does seem more and more to collect some way to pay for the massive expense of the liberal social programs the administration is pushing, along with the "stimulus". They pay their debts by making us serfs.

Mr. Knappenberger's statement that Waxman-Markey "will have no impact future course of global warming" may well be incorrect. The program could, in fact, make matters worse by shifting energy-intensive production out of the United States and into low energy-cost countries that are less sensitive to the environment.
If the risks associated with global warming are as dire as the alarmists claim, then any actions we take to combat it should, at a minimum, do no harm. The more serious the problem, the more critical it is that our "solutions" do nothing to make it worse.
This argument is irrelevant, of course, if the real point of Waxman-Markey is to raise revenues with global warming serving only as a pretext.

Or, given the suggestion just made, it may be a pretext to reverse the tide of trade liberalization:

We are witnessing the playing out of a classic "good cop" vs. "bad cop" drama. The "good cop" is the Obama Administration and its Congressional supporters of a tax-and-charade (cap-and-trade) make-energy-more-expensive scheme. The "bad cop" is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has managed to define the natural, trace gas, carbon dioxide as a legal "pollutant." This bad cop threatens to come knocking at doors of all types throughout the land in enforcement of ill-defined new limits on emitters of a gas necessary to the life cycle off most all life, plant and animal. Humans emit about 800 pounds a year in the life sustaining process of food metabolism. Plant life needs it to live and thereby produce the oxygen we need.
The bad cop EPA threatens total bureaucratic control of carbon emissions at every level of U.S. economic activity, unencumbered by legislative oversight. Some might call that totalitarian.
To the rescue, comes the "good cop" in the form of the Obama Congressional leaders, such as Massachusetts Democrat Ed Markey, offering the sweet deal of tax-and-trade. How can one refuse? Choose the totalitarian Waxman bill or choose the totalitarian EPA intrusions.
In this process, little is mentioned as to why either choice is necessary. An enlightened Congress could revisit the Clean Air Act and correct the language which was used by the Supreme Court to make a legal, but not scientific, ruling.
Will any of this affect the much proclaimed climate crisis? Four independent authoritative global temperature monitoring centers (the Haley Centre, the U.S. National Climatic Data Center, Remote Sensing Systems, and the University of Alabama at Huntsville) all confirm a definite, significant, and continuing global cooling for the past six plus years.
Other actions by the Obama administration in the automobile industry, banking sector, health care, and even in the federalization of formerly voluntary public service all show the intrusive hand of government in attempting to exert near total control of large segments of our economy.
If all these totals are totaled up, is the sum not approaching totalitarianism, or at least as the saying goes: "close enough for government work"?
- 6 Richard W. Fulmer { 05.25.09 at 6:46 pm }
If Waxman-Markey's real goal is to raise revenue and not to reduce CO2 emissions, then arguing that the bill will have no meaningful impact on global warming is irrelevant to the bill's supporters. While we should not abandon this line of reasoning, we should also start making the point that the net effect of W-M might well be to reduce overall government takings.
As W-M pushes production to low energy-cost countries, the loss of businesses and jobs will reduce income tax revenues while increasing unemployment insurance and welfare payments. Such loses could dwarf any proceeds from the sale of carbon emission rights. A trade war – launched with the intent of keeping the country competitive with its trading partners – will devastate the economy, further reducing government income.
If, on the other hand, the bill's purpose is to concentrate power in Washington regardless of the impact on either revenue or emissions, then I have no counter argument to suggest. The bill will increase government power – though at the cost of greatly weakening the nation itself.

Ever since we heard that Tony Gonzalez would be returning, we've been celebrating. In between the drinking, the debauchery and the ceremonial waving of #88 jerseys, we've wondered what the contract terms would be.
Wonder no more, friends. Pat Yasinskas and D. Orlando Ledbetter are reporting that Gonzo will make $7 million in 2013, $5.25 million of which will count against the cap. In total, his contract represents $7 million in guaranteed money and $14 million over two years. More or less where we expected it to be, in summary.
Tony Gonzalez contract was 2-years, $14 million with $7 million guaranteed. Cap number for 2013 = $5.25 million— D. Orlando Ledbetter (@AJCFalcons) March 15, 2013
Great news. The cap hit is a little smaller than anticipated, giving the Falcons just a tiny bit of breathing room if they want to chase a veteran pass rusher or two in a market that's basically cratered. If Tony decides to come back for one more year, too, the Falcons will have him under contract. Another pretty shrewd move from a front office full of them.
One quick note: This does not mean he's back in 2014, too. It's just cap wizardry.
And most importantly, Tony's back! Welcome him with open arms, if you would.

Kokomo Tribune
---- — Jerry Sexton and Rosie Shimer were friends for five years before there was any romance between the two.
They sat side-by-side in "roll room" at Kokomo High School because of their last names.
They double-dated, but their date was never with each other. They always dated other people.
They thought of each other as nice and friendly, but continued to remain in the same friend circle.
That all changed in May of 1956. Jerry had dumped his girlfriend, and Rosie was also single.
Jerry and his brother were at a family reunion and got bored, so they drove around town, and happened to drive down Rosie's street. She and a friend happened to be getting out of her car in front of her house.
On a whim, Jerry decided to pick Rosie and her friend up, and the relationship developed from there.
Rosie's mother was thrilled by the new relationship. She liked Jerry a lot more than Rosie's old boyfriend.
"We tease about my mom picked my husband," Rosie said.
Jerry's ex-girlfriend was less than thrilled to hear the news.
She would call up to the house and bother Rosie.
"She would say, 'I don't know why you're going with him. You don't really like him. You just don't want me to have him,'" Rosie said.
The two did their best to ignore her comments and continued to go on dates to drive-in theaters, family functions, and even on a date to Indianapolis to see "Oklahoma" when it came out in theaters.
"We just sorta fell in love," Rosie said.
Toward the end of 1956, their relationship began to get more serious.
"I felt like he would be the one I would like to be with for the rest of my life," Rosie said.
"I figured she'd be the one I'd settle down with," Jerry said. "She just grew on me."
Rosie wasn't completely sure they'd ever get engaged.
"He kept throwing me off saying 'Oh isn't that necklace pretty? Aren't those earrings pretty?' I said, 'I guess so,'" Rosie said.
Jerry nervously proposed in the car on Christmas Eve and several months later, the couple married on April 12, 1957 at Main Street Methodist Church in Kokomo. They were both 20.
The year after Jerry joined the Navy, the couple moved to Maryland. He had been stationed to work with military computers.
"I was one of the lucky ones," Jerry said. "I had [Rosie] with me the whole time."
After Maryland, Jerry and Rosie moved to Hawaii, then to Washington D.C., Pensacola Fla., and then Norfolk, Va. before moving back to Kokomo in 1975.
Each of their four children was born in a different state.
They hadn't been back in Kokomo for very long before the Sextons decided to become foster parents. They missed the noise of young kids in the house.
"Kids are a lot of fun," Jerry said. "You just gotta relax and learn to enjoy them," he said.
During the 14 years, Jerry and Rosie fostered 86 children. Each child they fostered lived in their home for two or three years.
"The kids were great," Rosie said. "They felt safe."
They stopped being foster parents in 1993 when their own grandchildren were being born.
Without any kids to take care of in their own house, the Sextons were bored.
"I tried staying home for a month," Rosie said. "I didn't have anything to do. I would watch TV and sleep."
They both got part-time jobs at Staples to stay busy. They still work there together a few days each week.
They also volunteer with IOPO, an organization that assists those donating organ and tissue to those in need.
They've both had organ transplants in the past.
Jerry had to have a kidney and liver transplant and Rosie has had two cornea transplants.
"I think with all those blood transfusions we helped build Howard Regional," Jerry joked.
Besides their part-time work schedule and volunteering, the Sextons spend a lot of time with their family and enjoy staying busy.
"You don't wanna stop and sit down because then you realize you're old," Jerry said.
The Sextons have been married for 56 years and credit their successful marriage to patience, love and a lot of give between the two of them.
"You can get upset, but you can usually find a little bit of silver lining there someplace," Rosie said.

Tony Romo underwent a CAT scan on his injured clavicle and collarbone on Tuesday, and NFL Network reporter Michael Lombardi tweeted that sources have told him Romo will miss only six weeks as opposed to the feared eight.
The Cowboys QB was hurt in the second quarter of Dallas' 41-35 loss to the Giants on Monday night and was replaced by Jon Kitna. If he misses the next six weeks, he would be projected to return on Dec. 12 when the Cowboys host the Eagles.
The way we see it
Lombardi's news, if true, is the best-case scenario for the Cowboys. With their season already in trouble at 1-5, losing their starting QB for the rest of the season would make 2010 even worse. Romo told reporters on Monday that he had trouble moving around and breathing following the injury.
Fantasy Spin
Replacing Kitna for Romo will alter the numbers for Cowboys skill players Miles Austin, Roy Williams, Dez Bryant and Jason Witten. Kitna has a solid arm and threw for two second-half TDs in relief, but lacks the mobility of Romo and could get abused behind a poor offensive line.

Shelbyville Daily Union
Stubborn winter weather not withstanding, the Shelbyville Rams went on the road to Morrisonville on Thursday and Mauled the Mohawks, 13-4.
Dual sport senior hurler Eli "Stick" Miller, also a state level sprinter, threw three hit-less innings and struck out eight to keep the Mohawks at bay as the Ram hit crew (12 hits) jacked their way to a 6-0 lead.
Hammering Luke Hatfield, also a dual sport athlete pole vaulter, blasted his second home run in as many games and doubled twice, going 3-for-5 with three runs and three RBIs. Nate Standerfer also went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, two runs, and three RBIs. Garrett Manship smashed the sixth extra-base hit with a solo double, as he went 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Dual sport athlete Neil Yockey, a distance runner on the track team, went 2-for-4, scored three runs and drove in a run.
Shelby got started, when dual sport long jumper, Jake Keown led off reaching on an error and stole 2nd. With one out, Hatfield reached on an error. Standerfer then doubled in Keown. Yockey hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Hatfield for the 2-0 lead.
Miller struck out three batters in the 1st. He hit one batter, walked a batter and a third batter reached on an error, none earned. The bases were jammed with two outs, when Miller won a 3-2 battle with a strikeout.
The Rams couldn't score in the 2nd, but neither could Morrisonville. A Mohawk led off reaching on an error, but Miller rang up the next two batters. Hatfield squeezed a fly out to end the inning.
The Ram exploded for four runs in the 3rd. Miller drew a walk, stole 3rd and Standerfer singled him in. Yocket singled and Andrew Hawkins hit the third consecutive single, driving Standerfer across. With two on and one out, Manship smacked an RBI double for the 6-0 margin.
The Mohawks needed to respond, but Miller gunned them down. He rang up the first two batters. He walked a man, then KO'd the next batter.
Shelby scored with two outs in the 4th. Hatfield hit a bases empty double and Standerfer made it two 2-baggers in a row. Yockey reached on an error and a wild pitch moved the runners. Standerfer scored and Shelby was up 8-0.
With a healthy lead, Miller was relieved by sophomore Lucas Duckett. Duckett rang up the first batter he faced. A pop out to Yockey. Duckett gave up a walk, but Standerfer threw from 1st to 2nd and Yockey tagged the base runner out to end the inning.
Shelby cashed in again in the 5th. Manship and Luke McConnell led off with walks. With one out, Keown walked. With two outs and the bases loaded, Hatfield hammered his second straight double, driving in two more runs, 10-0.
Morrisonville finally got on the board in the bottom of the 5th. A walk and a 1-out single got them a run. Another single and a fielder's choice made it 10-2 Rams.
Shelby got one of those runs back in the 6th. Yockey and Hawkins reached on consecutive errors and Manship hit an RBI single, 11-2. Duckett gave up a solo hit in the 6th and threw his second strikeout.
Hatfield opened the 7th with a first-pitch shot out of the park, 12-2 Rams. With one out, Yockey singled and Hawkins, Manship, and pinch hitter Tyler Hendryx walked. Manship scored on a pitcher error, 13-2.
Morrisonville had succeeded in forcing the game to go seven innings and scored a couple more runs, but that was cold comfort. A single, a walk and a double brought in Hatfield to close out the Mohawks with the score, 13-4.
Hatfield faced three batters and got them all. The first batter flew out to right, then Hatfield rang up the next two. One was on a 3-2 pitch and the last man on a 1-2 pitch.
Shelbyville (2-0) is scheduled to play at Marshall on Saturday at 11 a.m.

The Northbrook location will feature Dailey Method's proprietary one-hour fitness class — combining athletic ballet barre work, core conditioning, stretching and orthopedic exercises in an encouraging class environment — along with group cycling courses, according to the release.
The fitness brand is known for its commitment to improving body alignment, long-term injury rehab and future injury prevention, in excerice programs that offer high calory burning with low, physical impact.
The Dailey Method Northbrook owners Leanne Kurtzweil and Katy Kerr are seasoned fitness instructors who began working in Chicago's first Dailey Method studio when it opened in 2009, according to the release.
"Since being a part of this fitness community, clients consistently tell us the positive impact both our challenging classes and encouraging studio environment has had on their lives," Kurtzweil said in the release. "The changes can be seen in improved physical appearance, better posture, and increased self-confidence."
The Dailey Method's first North Shore location opened in Kenilworth in 2011, and was later voted as The North Shore's "Best Challenge Workout" by Make It Better magazine, according to the release.
According to the release, the Northbrook location will also feature upscale fitness and lifestyle retail, a staffed kid's room and a full-service locker room.

After passing on offensive linemen in the 2008 and '09 drafts, even though it was a position of need, the Raiders drafted two O-linemen this year. Oakland selected OT Jared Veldheer in the third round and OT Bruce Campbell, who will move to guard in the pros, in the fourth round. Evaluators considered them developmental prospects who would require some time to adjust, but word is both rookies have a chance to log significant playing time, if not start, this season. Campbell will get a chance to unseat ORG Cooper Carlisle, an 11th-year veteran. Some observers say Carlisle's performance has declined in recent years. Veldheer could eventually slide into the starting lineup at left or right tackle.
Giving new QB Jason Campbell time to throw will be a key for the Raiders, as pass protection has been a major weakness over the past five seasons. Since '05, Oakland has averaged 49.2 sacks allowed. The Colts, who have allowed the fewest sacks in the league in three of the past five seasons, averaged 17 sacks allowed in the same span.

New Jersey
3.5/5 rDev -5.4%
A: Dark chocolate coloring in a chalice with a creamy, pale yellowish-khaki tinted head of modest proportion. Quick paced effervesce races up along the vessel walls while the head retains for several minutes leaving a thin, snake skin band of lace.
S: Mid-range level of chocolate-coffee roast, warm roasted nuts with lightly dry toffee-caramel sweetness.
T: Flavor was creamy with some oats and wheat, chocolate and dry toffee-caramel nuttiness. Some spiciness of cardamon, cola and a smooth roasty chocolate-coffee taste that finishes out with light creamer notes.
M: Good rate of carbonation, mid-body fullness with a creamy soft feel.
O: Overall decent rate of drinkability, spicy cola, roasty-chocolate flavor with a soft wheat palate. Cleanly brewed, sweet, almost like an after dinner dessert/coffee treat.

This is my fave of 16 mile a great local brewer of brown ales, every pub in mid-atlantic should carry them.
A: Bottle poured into Leffe chalice, results in fast fade head with not much lacing.... but... it's a beautiful clear mahogany brown. Loveliest color on a brown beer that I've seen.
S: Caramel, spice, cinnamon - almost cola like. and dried grass, woody, barnyard, hay, autumn.
T: More of the aromas, with creamy maltiness, moderate body, toasty, chestnuts, chocolate, very interesting and original - best brown ale yet? Finishes with nice bitter, no sweet residue despite the many sweet spectrum flavors: fig, coffee, cake.
F: Nice feel, more body that most brown ales, good weight, low carbonation, nice finish. Great with food - in this case sausage white bean garlic cassolet dressed up with fresh chard, tomatoes, fennel seed from garden.
Best from 16 mile.

3.83/5 rDev +3.5%
A: The beer is clear but very dark garnet red in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a thin off white head that quickly died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of dark and nutty malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste is similar to the smell but seems to be a little more complex with notes of chocolate malts and hints of coffee. Although no bitterness is detectable, there are enough underlying hops to prevent any sweetness from becoming perceptible.
M: It feels light-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: Drinking this beer is a breeze given its light-bodied nature and low alcohol content. I would have no problem drinking an entire 6-pack of this in one sitting.

Pour is a dark muddy, murky brown. Scant light tan head, with lingering lace.
Nose is pretty malty, lots of sugary sweetness too. Brown sugar, caramel, and a slight sticky hop.
Taste pretty sweet up front. Flavors of chocolate, brown sugar, molassess and a slightly roasty malt. Follows with a very mild hop, but finishes with a bitter coffee bite.
Body is medium thin. A little watery.
Interesting beer. Flavors are interesting, but not sure they really blend nicely into one another. Mouth feel especially is a bit lacking, really could use a little more beef. Would not be a bad session ale on a crisp fall evening, but there are better versions out there.

First had: on tap at 16 Mile
Names can be deceiving... I expected a marzen or some kind of lager here, but instead I got a rather tasty brown ale. I'm not a huge fan of the style, but this one was surprisingly good.
Deep, dark brown pour, with a nice off-white head that retained well and left some lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, slightly roasty, toasted bread, nutty, slight spiciness. Rich malty taste, caramel, coffee, unsweetened chocolate, nice leafy / herbal hop profile bringing in a balance and leaving a pleasantly dry finish. Medium body, very nice mouthfeel for the style. Most likely the best brew I sampled at 16 Mile.
Not sure how this beer translates in a bottle, but on tap, I definitely recommend it!

Pours a very dark chestnut brown color with faint mahogany edges and a frothy, one finger off-white head that slowly settles into a lasting ring. Streaks of soapy lacing left behind.
Toasted dark malt aroma with subtle roasted coffee, caramel, toffee and cocoa. There's a faint grassy hop presence but the nose is dominated by subtle roast and caramel malt sweetness.
On the lighter end of medium bodies with a flavor profile that's very similar to the aroma. There is a very delicate, crisp hop bite up front but the dominant flavors here is slightly roasted sweet malt. Hints of caramel, toffee and nut countered by autumnal spice and toasted bread. Not very complex but pleasant enough and easy to drink.

Cheers to THE CPJ!
Pours a dark brown with a fluffy ivory head that settles to a nice cap. Mild aromas of caramel malt, brown sugar, and baked bread. Typical Brown Ale, but not unpleasant. More caramel and baked bread, with mild floral hops. Nicely drinkable, but nothing new. Mouthfeel is smooth, with a medium body and decent carbonation. Ehh...not bad. Wouldn't pick it up again.

Picked this up at Gary's in Wayne last weekend. I had never heard of 16 Mile before and thought this would be a slightly different take on what is normally an easygoing style. This was just bit more aggressive than a typical English Brown Ale in terms of alcohol and hops but it was nothing earth-shattering either of those departments. Less sticky and more like a dessert beer than what the category would imply, I enjoyed this and thought it was a good brew to keep warm with during the recent cold nights!
The pour to this was dark brown with a bit of garnet around the edges. The head was present but faded quickly and there wasn't much of any carbonation to be seen. Lots of coffee and bitter chocolate in the nose and even more in the taste, with the mouthfeel having quite a bit of toffee to help bring the hops out. It's not a strong burn but this seemed like a light espresso in terms of taste and body, as this was quite thin. A hint of pumpernickel could be found in the back without too much of dough of thickness in the aftertaste.
To be sure, the booze is here but it took a while for it to kick in. There wasn't any caramel or sugary sweetness here like in so many other Brown Ales and for a slightly more aggressive take on the style, this fit the bill nicely. Subtly enjoyable, this fits the season nicely now that the Octoberfests and Marzens are off the shelf. Worth a go for fans of smooth, dark ales.

INDIANAPOLIS — Looking for work: A talented NASCAR driver with a resume that includes a Daytona 500 victory and after Sunday, a win in the Brickyard 400.
Yes, Ryan Newman remains at least for now without a full-time job in the Sprint Cup Series next season, but he certainly is not resting on his laurels.
To earn one of the biggest wins of his career and his first of 2013, Newman had to remain out front of five-time series champion Jimmie Johnson and Newmans crew chief, Matt Borland, had to outfox counterpart Chad Knaus.
Thats no small order.
Newman, who started from the pole, used a late two-tire pit strategy and a slow stop by Johnsons No. 48 team to earn his first victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
I watched Jimmie, kept quiet. I wanted to see who I was racing, Newman said of the final laps of the race. I knew I had a good car. I didnt want to have a good car and not win the race.
Matts call gave me the track position I needed, taking the two tires. I was just counting down the laps from that point on.
Getting a lead on Johnson after the final green-flag pit stops was the most important key to the race, but Newman still had to wait patiently for several cars ahead of him to make their stops and knowing a caution could come at any time.
Im happy it stayed green. We needed that, but thats racing, Newman said. Jimmie did a good job; he had a good car.
The win was special in many ways for Newman.
He started the year with a one-year contract with Stewart-Haas Racing and two weeks ago officially was informed he would not be with the organization for 2014.
The emotions have been an absolute roller coaster. The Loudon (N.H.) race was a disaster. We got crashed out; everything that was said, Newman said. That next weekend off I think was good timing, to be able to hit control-alt-delete.
Matt did an amazing job to come here with a fast race car, give me what I needed. We all did it together.
There are a lot of questions to be answered. Well get through all that. But today were celebrating a victory.
Within the span of two days, Newman was able to add two other important perks to his resume. With his pole he is entered in the 2014 Sprint Unlimited race at Daytona Beach, Fla., and his win Sunday locks him into next seasons NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The victory also is special for its location. Newman, an Indiana native, grew up in the shadows of Indianapolis Motor Speedways storied history.
I just am a big fan of cars. Im a big fan of tires. Im a big fan of making them go fast, he said. Thats happened here since 1909. I appreciate that.
I was counting down from 10 (laps) to go, so I started at 12. I was trying to trick myself into getting there quicker.
Johnson, meanwhile, was desperately trying to close the gap but could not make significant progress even with two newer tires than Newman.
I got within probably three seconds (of Newman), beat myself up pretty bad, Johnson said. I think Ryan was being smart, too.
Once I got to a certain distance, I believe he decided to go 100 percent. He had plenty of speed.
Kasey Kahne finished third, Newmans team owner Tony Stewart was fourth and Matt Kenseth was fifth. Johnson continues to lead the standings and holds a commanding 75-point lead over second-place Clint Bowyer.
Newmans future at SHR already is decided, but his accomplishments this season arent necessarily. He still has a chance to compete for this seasons championship.
Newman is 16th in the standings, 25 points outside the top 10 (which would guarantee a Chase berth). A better position in points also could help Newman secure one of two wild-card berths in the Chase based on wins.
In other words, plenty of work remains.
The guys (on the team) bust their butts every day, Borland said. Theyre working hard. They want to win every race. They want to win the championship.
We brought our best car here that weve ever built. Were hoping by next week or two weeks from now to have an even better car.

Dawson Community College, ranked this week by Bankrate.com, 14th out of the top 25 two-year public colleges in the United States for its value and vocational education opportunities. DCC has always offered value for dollars spent. Being a value-added college has paid off for DCC as the next generation of first-time college students, trends toward a more affordable college experience.
Dawson Community College students often enroll with the intention of transferring to a four-year university, or to take advantage of career technical degrees and certificates that can springboard them into the workforce in one or two years.
According to Bankrate, data that propelled Dawson to the 14th position, arose from the National Center for Education Statistics. Bankrate ranked more than 900 two-year public colleges using six criteria: graduation rate; student retention rate; student-faculty ratio; in-state tuition and fees; percentage of full-time, first-time undergrads getting financial aid; and the average amount of aid they received from various sources.
"This accomplishment speaks to the excellence and commitment of Dawson Community College's faculty and staff as well as the Board's leadership on affordability." commented Dawson Community College President Mike Simon.
Since 1976, Bankrate, Inc. has been a leading aggregator of financial rate information. They publish original and objective personal finance stories to help consumers make informed financial decisions.
Dawson Community College is moving toward its 75th year as an institution of higher education and was thrilled to receive recognition for value, a theme that has existed since the doors opened in 1940. To quote one DCC alumnus "This is GREAT news!"

Macpherson's photographic output has a unique and distinctive style, manifest in his use of stylish lighting and vibrant colour, which commands the viewer's attention and has made him a superstar in his own right. After over 20 years in the industry, the LA-based British photographer remains at the top of his game, recently producing photographs to be used in the promotion of Mark Wahlberg's new film, Contraband. But, with continual evolutions in the world of technology (Photoshop, the Digital SLR, superior smartphone cameras) impacting on the way professional photographers operate, even Macfly is having to adjust the way he creates his images.

RHEA COUNTY, TN (WRCB)- Two county officials in Tennessee are making a plea for TVA to back down on marina operation fees. The Rhea County executive and Meigs County mayor went before the TVA board Thursday to plead their case.
"This used to be a booming place," Rhea County Executive George Thacker says.
A sign says, "Thanks for visiting Watts Bar Marina and Resort" but there isn't much there.
"You go on the web site and see that you want to come camping here or buy gas. It's not here anymore," says Thacker.
The TVA web site also says there should be a restaurant at the marina too, but that was recently torn down, the tracks still in the dirt. The site was last updated in 2004 and it is not guaranteed to be accurate.
"Rhea County's been through, 'don't eat the fish, don't swim in the lake'."
Thacker says the Watts Bar area is still feeling the effects from the 2008 ash spill, along with Meigs and Roane counties.
Now he says TVA is wanting to increase marina operation fees. He says that is bad news, especially with Rhea and Meigs not getting any help, while Roane got $24 million in restitution.
"After all this. We've been through all these battles. Roane County gets all the money. Rhea and Meigs get nothing," Thacker says. "And then they're going to add this 5 percent tax in this economy?"
He says the 'mom and pop' marina operators will suffer.
"I talked to one today. She actually said it would kill her business. You can't pass anymore taxes," says Thacker.
In the case of the resort, TVA issued a statement last year on why it was being torn down.
It says the licensed operators were not holding up their end of the deal, saying, the facilities were "neglected" and fell into "disrepair." As a result, it "revoked the license and limited access to the area."
Thacker says it goes beyond that, saying TVA is staffing the marina at Douglas Lake in Roane County, while trying to shut down Sand Island, a popular recreation spot, citing costs.
"Why do they keep shutting things down in Rhea County when they say they don't make exceptions?"
To clarify, a TVA spokesperson says TVA does not have the power to 'tax' but tells Channel 3 it did revise its commercial recreation pricing policy in 2010, which resulted in some operators paying a higher price than in previous years.
Thacker says he is meeting with state leaders to discuss proposed changes.

Murs in right place at number one
7:09pm Sunday 2nd December 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Olly Murs is the king of the charts this week after reaching number one with an album and single.
The former X Factor singer's third album Right Place Right Time went straight in at number one on the Official Albums Chart.
With an 127,000 copies sold in its first week, Right Place Right Time is also the fastest-selling male solo album of the year.
Murs' single Troublemaker featuring US rapper Flo Rida held firm for a second week at number one on the Official Singles Chart.
Meanwhile, Bruno Mars and Rihanna shoot back into the Official Singles Chart top three following appearances on X Factor, with Locked Out Of Heaven and Diamonds finishing the week at number two and three respectively.
Labrinth featuring Emeli Sande held firm for another week at number four with Beneath Your Beautiful while Alicia Keys is at five with Girl On Fire.
Kesha is this week's highest new entry as new single Die Young comes in at number 10.
Further down the chart are two new entries from American indie outfit Imagine Dragons, whose Radioactive and Hear Me chart at number 35 and 37 respectively, while Athlete's 2005 single Wires comes in at number 40 following Rylan Clark's performance of the song on X Factor.
On the Official Albums Charts, former X Factor graduates One Direction held firm at number two with Take Me Home.
Last week's chart-topper Rihanna dropped two to number three with Unapologetic, while two festive albums, Michael Buble's deluxe version of Christmas and Rod Stewart's Merry Christmas Baby both climbed one place to finish the week at Number four and five respectively.

Playing dress up, does it ever truly end? I don't think so. I still find myself trying on outfits with ridiculous combinations of tops and bottoms, and laughing while searching my closet for something serious to wear. It's fun, and it's what girls do. But let's put dress up aside for a moment and discuss dressing up. Maybe you have a party or formal event to attend soon. Do you know the latest trend of the formal fashion world? It's tulle. Yes, the poofy, itchy fabric we all hated having in our dresses as little girls. But now, tulle is fabulous on its own and I'm here to help you all rock it flawlessly.
So, what in the world do you pair a tulle skirt with? That's easy. Girls throughout the fashion world have been putting tulle skirts together with casual tops, even t-shirts. Yes, that's right, t-shirts! You might find yourself saying, "hey, that's not formal," but I'm not done just yet. So once you've paired your plain Jane tee with your over-the-top tulle skirt, it's time to accessorize. To distribute the style equally between your top and bottom halves, add statement jewelry to the top! Necklaces are your best friend in this situation, and the bolder the better. Layer up and make that t-shirt into something much more stylish. After this, add a few bracelets so your arms have some fashion bragging rights, and you're good to go. As far as shoes go, try a pair of heels. Nothing too high, but you don't want to have a chic outfit going and have the wrong pair of kicks ruin it. The moral of the story is, if you're willing to think outside the box and put on a tulle skirt, keep the rest simple and be sure to accessorize. Accessories are a huge thing now, and statement pieces are a must in a look like this. If you're going to do it, do it right! Best of luck, my style proteges.
You can never be too cool for tulle.
xx, ZM

Why do we buy stuff? Psychologists have known for a while that we're at the mercy of two related facts. Firstly, as Van Praet suggests, that the seven generations or so humans have spent living in the industrial age, are dwarfed by the 84,000 generations living as hunter-gatherers. The implication is that from an evolutionary perspective we are still relying on 'stone-age' thinking.
Secondly, this means our brains have to process an enormous amount of information for which they were not designed. So whilst our senses take in about 11 million bits of information per second (that's something like 34GB per day), we are only aware of 40 bits. What's happened to the rest?
Most of the information that hits our senses is processed automatically at an unconscious level. It relies both on our primitive and often emotional brain, just as much as it does on any rational thinking. When it comes down to it, what drives our behaviour has a lot less to do with weighing up the pros and cons of a decision, and at a lot more with how we feel.
To cut a long story short, this book is about how to hit the marketing nail on both heads – the rational and emotional – rather than just the one. To understand that how we act often has little connection with how we say we will act, and that we tend to behave in a way that is consistent with a much older script: a script that we may not even be aware of. And critically this script is full of shortcuts and cognitive 'rules of thumb'.
Lazy brain
The considerable research which underpins this book draws on contemporary neuroscience, and work by many experts, in particular doyens both of decision-making and persuasion. For example, as Daniel Kahneman (the only Psychologist to win the Nobel Prize), points out, compared to our unconscious systems, the cognitive, rational part of the brain, is just plain lazy. Thoughtful analysis of a situation is slow and tiring: it's a lot easier to rely on past experience or quick fixes.
This means that if we think about brands, what's happening is that our brains are heavily influenced by memory; and here's the interesting bit, that those memories, which often involve imagery (think: Coke label), are processed in the prefrontal cortex, the same part of the brain that plans future behaviour. Another brain shortcut.
What's in a name?
Van Praet, an acknowledged brand expert, takes what is known about unconscious processing and uses it to build a seven step persuasion model. Thus because we are animals that rely on recognising patterns – one of those brain energy saving tricks – a marketer needs to understand how to disrupt existing patterns in order to grab our attention.
Additionally, any interruptions must engage the right associations in order to spark constructive emotions. To get us to move, it's necessary to retain elements of the familiar because we find comfort in it, or to make something new feel comfortable. So this is the second step: how to create customer comfort.
The remaining steps look at how to lead the imagination, shift feelings, satisfy the rational part of the brain (which, despite everything, needs to be satisfied!), and change the nature of the association between memory and mind, in order to generate actions that promote positive brand impressions.
To pull out the point about memory, this can be illustrated using product names. Marketeers need to spend time looking at all the associations linked to a name. The important thing is to find a name with no baggage, or unfortunate associations; or better still, to find a name that is already linked (in most people's minds) to positive thoughts or feelings. Naturally having done this the name needs to be protected, for instance it can be easily damaged by the wrong sort of endorsements: celebrities not living up to the values of the brand!
In conclusion this book is jam packed with examples and ideas, and lifts the veil on how to engage 'consumers' at a human level, in order to shift attitudes and behaviour. Something we all need to do, in our various ways, every day.

The pressure is on for Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. to go public and talk to the people who voted for him.
FOX 32 has learned that he's working with prominent Chicago attorney Dan Webb to reach a plea bargain with the federal government. That deal could include giving up his congressional seat, along with his freedom, and possibly his pension.
At L&G's Restaurant on the corner of 75th and Exchange, in the heart of Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.'s district, people talk politics.
SEE: Jackson Jr. resignation could happen within weeks: Source
This is where most candidates on the South Shore go when they want to be elected. Some of Jackson's constituents say they voted for him last week and now they wish they could have their ballot back.
"I'm surprised to even hear that he got hemmed up in some stuff like this," says Izel mason who voted for Jackson. "I voted for him to keep him up in there…I'm really disappointed."
The feds want to know if Congressman Jackson misused campaign funds. Sources say Jackson allegedly spent $20,000 to renovate the family's home in Washington D.C.
Sources told FOX 32 News that the congressman and wife, Sandi Jackson put the 5-bedroom Victorian on the market for $2.5 million to make a million dollars. Sources also say that the Jacksons are fearful that Jesse Jackson Jr. will serve "some" jail time. The family hopes the sale of that home will leave them with enough money to take care of themselves.
When reached by text this afternoon, the Alderman Sandi Jackson told us "she's doing her best" adding, she "can't talk much. His attorneys keep me out of it."
At a news conference Monday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel says it's time for Jackson to talk.
Emanuel said the congressman should "have a conversation with his constituents about his intentions" now that the election's over. The mayor mentioned "big issues" before Congress. The mayor has previously declined to comment about Jackson, who went on medical leave in June.
Jackson easily won re-election last week though his medical leave kept him campaigning. The Democrat remains hospitalized at Minnesota's Mayo Clinic under treatment for bipolar disorder.
Jackson issued a statement thanking voters last week. He said once doctors approve his return to work he'll continue to be a "progressive fighter."

60 seconds with ...
Oliver Caffrey
3rd year, Gippsland
Where I want to be five years from now
Working in a Melbourne sports newsroom and hopefully well entrenched in my journalism career.
Where I was five years ago
Studying at Lavalla Catholic College, Traralgon.
My favourite kind of news
Any type of sports news, but my favourite without doubt is AFL. Since I have been at university, I've taken a keen interest in most types of news, but I do try and stay away from the financial reports.
What I like about studying journalism in Gippsland
I live in Traralgon, so it's a convenient location. Also the smaller class sizes, compared to some other campuses, allow for a more interactive learning experience and I've made some great friends in the process.
A journalist I admire
Laurie Oakes because he continues to get better with age. He can still break a massive story after more than 40 years of being a journalist.
I am passionate about
AFL and my team the Brisbane Lions (even when they are having a terrible season, like this one).
I unwind by
Watching movies and hanging out with friends.
My favourite time of the day is
Late afternoon to early evening. I am definitely not a morning person!
Two important people to me are
Mum and Dad because they have always been there for me and I wouldn't be where I am without them.
My strategy for survival at uni is
Attending as many lectures and tutorials as possible. Trying not to let the assignments pile up, but that usually happens anyway.
A news story to mark this month was
The $37 million sexual harassment lawsuit directed at David Jones. It seems an extraordinary amount when other sexual harassment cases are resolved for far less.

Shift workers at high risk of fertility problems
A Southampton University study found that working shift patterns made it harder for women to conceive.
The study compares the impact of working non-standard working schedules with that in women not working shifts.
Led by Dr Yin Cheong, a senior lecturer at Southampton University, and Dr Stocker included data on 119,345 women and found that those working shifts had a 33 per cent higher rate of menstrual disruption than those working regular hours.
– Dr Stocker, University of Southampton clinical researcher
Whilst we have demonstrated an association between shift work and negative early reproductive outcomes, we have not proven causation. However, if our results are confirmed by other studies, there may be implications for shift workers and their reproductive plans. Our findings may have implications for women attempting to become pregnant as well as employers."

Authorities have identified of the driver of a BMW who was killed in a fiery chain-reaction crash on Interstate 75 in Cobb County on Thursday afternoon.
The accident happened just after 2 p.m. in the northbound lanes of the interstate just past the Hickory Grove Road overpass.

Police say the driver of a semi-tractor trailer was not able to slow in time and end up pushing a BMW forward into a white 2011 Chrysler Town and Country minivan followed by several other vehicles.The BMW burst into flames killing 47-year-old Gregory Alan Millsaps, of Marietta.The front passenger of the Chrysler, 71-year-old-Barbara Phenicie, of Peachtree City, was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her husband, 72-year-old Dale Phenicie, and his son, 38-year-old Cumming man Jonathan Phenicie, who was driving the vehicle, were also taken to the hospital, but are expected to recover.The truck driver who started the chain-reaction crash is identified as 40-year-old Vahid Husic, of Lawrenceville. He was transported to the hospital and is expected to be okay.Two others were transported to the hospital all with non-life-threatening injuries. Four others involved in the crash were checked out at the scene.Traffic was backed up to Interstate 285 well into rush hour traffic on Thursday as officials worked to clear the scene.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Review: The Perfect Murder at The Orchard Theatre, Dartford
Updated 10:26am Monday 13th January 2014 in News By Jim Palmer, leisure editor
DARTFORD does not get many World premieres, so it was kind of a big deal for The Orchard Theatre that the adaptation of best-selling author Peter James' The Perfect Murder opened there.
The excitement seemed to translate to ticket sales too, with nigh-on a full house keen to see it.
It is hard to imagine many went away disappointed, either.
In a nutshell, Les Dennis off Family Fortunes is having marital problems and wants to bump off the missus and run off with a psychic hooker.
Les is a grump who is obsessed with planning the perfect murder and humming the theme to Dambusters really loudly every time he thinks about murdering his wife, Mel from Waking the Dead (otherwise known as talented actress Claire Goose or Tina off Casualty or, in this, Joan).
Mel from Waking the Dead has been married to Les – called Victor in this – for twenty years, and neither they nor the audience has any idea why. She's a bit dim and likes psychic TV programs.
She's annoyed at him for buying a telly; he's annoyed at her for buying a freezer.
Both are scheming.
Instead of divorce, which would make for a boring two and a half hours, they both scheme.
As the characters allude to early on, the crime groove is already worn deep with decades of literature, film and television.
So it begs the question, what does The Perfect Murder bring to the party that is new, exciting or different?
We might need to draft in a detective for that because it is not an easy question to answer.
For the most part it is comfortable and like watching a 90s crime drama on TV, but one that is trapped in a few locations - though full marks for set design. The set-up is incredible.
That's not to say it is not enjoyable.
Fans of Peter James' work – and there are lots of them – will presumably love the show, giving a glimpse at the iconic detective Roy Grace (played ably by Steven Miller) on his first major case.
It's a bit like what Endeavour is to Inspector Morse.
The detective's name also brought one of my highlights of the show, which came just as things were getting properly tense:
"GRACE!" shouts Mel from Waking the Dead. My fingers were crossed, hoping for Sue Johnston to swoop in. Now that would be a twist. But, she didn't.
I sniggered a bit.
The plot was clever and there were a few twists along the way, with the big one saved for last.
I didn't see it coming. Some people, like my girlfriend, did. And, to tell you the truth, I didn't find it all that plausible. For the record, I'd have finished it with painting the spare room.
The Perfect Murder continues at the Orchard Theatre, Dartford until tomorrow (Saturday, January 11). Go to orchardtheatre.co.uk

Arrived in as described and shown on web.
Anonymous, houston, TX – February 2014
My first (and probably not last) Blue Nile purchase. Beautiful earrings that are a near match for a ring I bought last Valentine's Day from a different source. Good value and ultra-fast, free delivery! My wife loves them and I don't think any woman wouldn't!
William, Louisville, KY – February 2014
I like the earrings except for the backing which I think are too small in proportion to the size of earrings. I choose not to take chances in losing this pair of earrings so I sent it back. I have to commend great customer service I received from Margaret. For this reason, I'm browsing to buy another pair with screw backing.

---- — A 43-year-old Gloucester woman, arrested on shoplifting and drug charges, was hit with additonal charges later that same afternoon after she allegedly struck an officer in the face with her closed fist in a Gloucester Police Department holding cell and threatened others as well.
Police arrested Dianne M. Leverich, who resides at the Action Shelter, on Sunday after receiving a report from a Walgreen's employee Sunday that Leverich allegedly picked up cosmetics and food in the store, but only paid for food. The employee told police that Leverich walked to Homestyle Laundry across Main Street after leaving the store.
Officers found Leverich at the laundromat and she gave an officer a receipt that detailed the food items, but police noticed cosmetic items that were not on the receipt in the bag too. Police also said they found that Leverich had two bags filled with still-tagged clothing items.
In one of the bags, police discovered a pill bottle that contained a pill prescribed to Leverich, as shown on its label, as well as two other pills. Police were unable to identify one of the pills, but the other non-prescribed pill was quietiapine fumarate, police said.
Police charged Leverich with illegally possessing a class E drug after finding the pills, according to the police report.
According to police, when officers arrested Leverich for larceny under $250, she became "unruly." Police said she began screaming and swearing inside the laundromat, where there were several children and adults. Police transported Leverich by police cruiser to the station, and while she was in the cruiser, police said Leverich threatened to kill the driving officer's wife, leading to a charge of threatening to commit a crime.
Then, during booking, officers noticed that Leverich took the bottle of pills from her bag of property, police said.
As a female officer entered the holding cell where Leverich was waiting, Leverich removed her pants, sat on the toilet and pulled a pill bottle from her bra, according to the police report. She then dropped the bottle into the toilet in an attempt to discard the bottle and pills down the drain.
At that point, the officer stepped in and restrained Leverich who struggled free and used a closed fist to strike the officer's face near her eye and forehead.
Police placed Leverich in a cell, retrieved the pill bottle from the toilet and added a charge of assault and battery on a public employee.

King Kong and its sequel, Son of Kong, came out in the same year.
King Kong and its sequel, Son of Kong, came out in the same year.
Keep that in mind when you hear people complaining about Hollywood's current bout of "sequelitis". As it turns out, this problem has been going on for at least 78 years, if not longer.
Following King Kong's initial success in March of 1933, RKO pictures immediately got the ball rolling on a sequel to come out in December of the same year. The film Son of Kong was written, produced, and released in time span of just 9 months. To do this, producer Ernest Schoedsack and special effects supervisor Willis O'Brien reused many of the same stop-motion models, music, and even some of the sound effects (including Fay Wray's famous scream). The film features King Kong's much smaller, friendlier, albino son, as well as the return of Robert Armstrong as the overly-ambitious, unlucky filmmaker Carl Denham (the character played by Jack Black in the Peter Jackson remake). The film plays out more like a comedy than a horror movie, as its creators had no intentions of surpassing the original. According to scriptwriter Ruth Rose, "If you can't make it bigger, make it funnier". The film did nowhere near as well in the box office as its predecessor.

What sort of chemicals?
Synthetic chemical including:
?Endocrine disruptors - Reproductive toxins
This can be a rather alarming statistic but the good news is this: the science of skincare has advanced to the point where the benefits of natural ingredients have been unlocked and can have profoundly effective results on your skin.
But with so many skincare brands claiming to be natural, how can you tell - and trust - what is truly natural or not?
Natural Products Association™ (NPA) certification means you can trust that every ingredient in our product is deemed natural, sustainable and safe.
The prestigious and strict NPA Certification is only given after an intensive process to ensure every ingredient in every single product in the Comvita® skincare range is deemed natural, safe to use, environmentally responsible and sustainable.

Each ingredient has been independently examined and checked to ensure only approved natural extraction methods have been used and that no harmful processing aids or preservatives are involved. The ingredient list on the packaging has been studied to make sure that what it says is in the product is actually in the product and that no ingredients with any suspected health concerns have been used.
Certification is the only way you can guarantee you're using truly natural skincare.
Yes, that's right – in order to be able to use the NPA seal on Comvita® skincare products, each ingredient has been totally scrutinized and tracked back through the supply chain. This is no mean feat when you consider a product such as the Daily Moisturiser with SPF15 has 19 ingredients alone.
This seal indicates a product is certified by NPA as truly natural, based on the ingredients and processes that are used to make it.
The seal will begin to appear on all of Comvita®'s skincare products as we gain certification.

I had been told that Brandon Weeden did not look very good through the first two days of OTAs and this was confirmed on Thursday. Weeden himself admitted this was his worst day of the week. He struggled to find the open read on many throws, missed a few open receivers and had multiple miscommunications with his wide outs. Jason Campbell didn't look much better. While Weeden throws a better ball, Campbell seemed more comfortable finding the correct read. Once he found that read, however, he did not consistently deliver the ball in a place that led receivers away from the defender. It was a rough day for the QBs.Will Burge of ESPN Cleveland
I wanted to hire coordinators who had NFL experience. In meeting with Pat, it was one of those "is this too good to be true" moments… We just seemed to hit it off… I asked Pat, "where do you see yourself?" and he said "I just want to win." … Pat's office is right next to mine and I know his door is always open… His personality, his mind set, it was a slam-dunk for me.Philly.com
I hope Joe H. was watching Boldin closely. Can't wait for the rematch.
