The U.S. conversation surrounding recent oil and gas development through hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") and newer technologies like horizontal drilling frequently centers around risks to the environment—to water and air—and to public health. At the national level, these risks are juxtaposed against the promise of jobs and energy independence. Read More

Fracking and My Community's Air Quality: Is There Something in the Air?
with Daniel Tormey, Ph.D., P.G.; Technical Director, Cardno ENTRIX
Los Angeles, California
September 26th, 2013
If you've been following the discussion of pollution risks around the unconventional oil and gas development that has been enabled by hydraulic fracturing and other technologies, then you've probably heard a lot about water contamination risks. These risks are certainly worth discussing, but discussion of air pollution risks also deserves some attention. We want to take the time to talk about air quality concerns—not just because this is where Gretchen's past interests lie—but also because current research suggests there may be real risks from air pollution near oil and gas activities.

Is Fracking Safe? What Science Can and Cannot Tell Us About Risk
September 13th, 2013
Citizens around the country are concerned—with good reasons—about how unconventional oil and gas development (commonly the entire development process is referred to as "fracking") will affect them and their families. As we learned at the recent UCS Center for Science and Democracy's Branscomb forum, Science, Democracy, and Community Decisions on Fracking, people want to know the facts. What are the benefits of development? What are the risks? How will my community change? But for many, the concerns ultimately boil down to the most pressing of the questions:

A Change We Didn't See Coming: Hydraulic Fracturing and Sand Mining in Wisconsin
Marcia Bjornerud, professor of geology
Dept. of Geology, Lawrence University
Appleton, WI
August 27th, 2013
If someone had told me 10 years ago that the rural landscape just west of my home in Appleton would be stripped down and shipped to states throughout the country, I never would have believed it. In fact, no one here in Wisconsin could have imagined that there would ever be much industrial demand for the honey-colored Cambrian sandstones that crop out in a wide swath across the middle of the state. There were a few quarries that supplied sand for foundry molds, but since foundries can reuse sand many times, these local operations had little effect on the landscape. Wisconsin's sandstones had only two major 'uses': acting as groundwater aquifers and defining the shape of the distinctive chimney rocks and castellated mounds of the state's scenic, never-glaciated Driftless Area.

Science, Democracy and Fracking: Not All Is As it Seems – a Correction
August 15th, 2013
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the importance of obtaining better information in order to make better choices concerning the impacts of hydraulic fracturing or "fracking." In fact, the role of science in informing the public, the media, and policy-makers as we make societal choices in our democracy is of enormous importance—not because science is the sole determinant of what choice we should make, but because it must help ground our decisions in what we know about the world we live in.

No Proven Case of Water Contamination?
August 12th, 2013
We have all heard the oft-repeated statement from proponents of unconventional oil and gas development that "hydraulic fracturing does not cause water contamination." It has come up in relation to controversies over EPA studies in Pavillion, Wyoming, and, most recently, Dimock, Pennsylvania. It has even come up at congressional hearings, where senators were distracted from the more important issue of contamination by the difficulty of pinning down expert witnesses on a simple definition of their terms — whether so-called "fracking" refers to a specific step in the process of extracting oil and gas or more broadly to all of the operations and activities involved.

The President Touts Natural Gas as an Important Climate Solution: How Far Can it Take Us?
July 1st, 2013
The President's climate plan is an important start for reducing carbon and other heat-trapping emissions from human activities that are driving climate change. One of the key components of his plan is directing the EPA to complete carbon standards for new and existing power plants, which could help transition the power sector away from coal to natural gas and other cleaner sources like renewable energy and energy efficiency.

What Do Food and Fracking Have in Common? We Need Information to Make the Best Choice

I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel that I spend a lot of my time in stores trying to read the ingredients and nutritional information on package labels. And it can be bewildering, not just because of the tiny print. But I also know that reading those labels impacts what I eat – even if my choices are not always the best, at least I had a chance to consider the content. Read More
Pennsylvania High School to Host Bizarre Swim Meet – in Fracking Fluid
April 1st, 2013
In what one concerned parent is calling "outrageous," the Pennsylvania Department of Environment is allowing two eastern Pennsylvania high schools to stage a bizarre boys swim meet this coming Friday—in a swimming pool filled with fracking fluid.
The event is being held to demonstrate the safety of the fluid, a byproduct of the oil and gas extraction method of hydraulic fracturing, otherwise known as fracking. Some politicians have pulled similar scientifically questionable stunts to reassure the public that fracking fluid is benign. Governor John Hickenlooper (D-CO), for example, went so far as to drink a glass of the fluid in 2012. Read More

Recent trends in Spanish Income Distribution: A Robust Picture of Falling Income Inequality
AbstractIncome distribution in Spain has experienced a substantial improvement towards equalisation during the second half of the seventies and the eighties; a period during which most OECD countries experienced the opposite trend. In spite of the many recent papers on the Spanish income distribution, the period covered by those stops in 1990. The aim of this paper is to extent the analysis to 1996 employing the same methodology and the same data set (ECPF). Our results not only corroborate the (decreasing inequality) trend found by others during the second half of the eighties, but also suggest that this trend extends over the first half of the nineties. We also show that our main conclusions are robust to changes in the equivalence scale, to changes in the definition of income and to potential data contamination. Finally, we analyse some of the causes which may be driving the overall picture of income inequality using two decomposition techniques. From this analyses three variables emerge as the major responsible factors for the observed improvement in the income distribution: education, household composition and socioeconomic situation of the household head.

DUBAI BUDGET 2013: Spending to increase by 6% while budget deficit to be cut by 18%
IMF estimates Dubai's government-linked entities will need to repay about $9.4 billion of maturing bonds and syndicated loans in 2013, and $31.0 billion in 2014.
January 2, 2013 3:04 by Reuters
Dubai has released a 2013 budget plan that would raise spending moderately while cutting the size of its deficit by 18 percent, aiming to balance boosting economic growth with fixing state finances after its 2009-2010 debt crisis.
Authorities could have eliminated the deficit entirely but decided instead to increase state spending in order to fund welfare and infrastructure projects, Abdulrahman al-Saleh, director general of the department of finance, said on Monday.
Saleh said that by cutting the annual deficit to below 0.5 percent of gross domestic product, the 2013 budget demonstrated Dubai's commitment to balancing its budget over time.
The emirate is still recovering from a 2009-2010 property market crash that forced state-linked companies to restructure billions of dollars of debt, and was only brought under control when Dubai got $10 billion of aid from neighbouring Abu Dhabi.
Revenue is projected at 32.62 billion dirhams ($8.89 billion) in 2013, up 7.8 percent from the 2012 budget plan. Tax revenues are expected to jump 15 percent because of a strong economy; allocations to revenue from government enterprises are being cut to allow for more reinvestment in the economy.
Dubai's property market has started to recover this year and economic growth was strong, easing pressure on state finances, and a plunge of the yields on bonds issued in the emirate showed increasing investor confidence.
But Dubai must be careful to retain the trust of the markets since the International Monetary Fund estimates its government-linked entities will need to repay about $9.4 billion of maturing bonds and syndicated loans in 2013, and $31.0 billion in 2014 – a refinancing task which the IMF calls "a challenge".
State spending is expected to rise 6 percent in 2013 to 34.12 billion dirhams. The government said 39 percent of its spending would go towards salaries and wages, partly because it would create a further 1,600 jobs for local citizens. Reducing unemployment in the local population, in an economy where most work is done by foreigners, is a top policy goal.
The budget deficit is to total 1.5 billion dirhams. The government said its 2013 plan included an operating budget surplus, excluding one-off items, of 204 million dirhams.
The statement on the budget plan did not say if Dubai would issue government bonds to finance the deficit. In September, Saleh said Dubai planned to sell a bond to refinance part of 6.5 billion dirhams of sovereign debt maturing in April 2013.
Most of the UAE's state expenditures are conducted by the seven individual emirates rather than the federal government, with Dubai accounting for about 10 percent of the total.

We have been keeping ourselves quite busy around here with back to school and all the other normal hoopla that goes on. Last week we celebrated someone's big 5-0 birthday. He is a very laid back guy who doesn't like much attention brought to himself. He never asks for any gifts or anything special on his birthday. He knows that drives me CRAZY so he tries to come up with something!
We started off the day with sleeping in and then heading to Huey's restaurant for lunch. Unfortunately, Logan was working. Boo!
After lunch we ran errands to pick up a couple things and then headed to Ben & Jerry's for dessert. He has an obsession with their Pistachio ice cream! They didn't have any in the case to eat in store, but we did grab a pint to take home from the freezer!
I have an affection for donuts and we have this place in Memphis that is suppose to be famous for them. We had never been, so we decided to stop and pick some up for breakfast the next morning. I have to tell you that I had just started a low carb diet a few days before so I didn't eat ice cream or donuts. In the end, they all decided that while the donuts were good, they all preferred the ones from our local shop in our little town.
We celebrated with my parents at Outback for dinner. It was delicious as always. Sadly, I didn't get a picture though. Another birthday down and documented. Next is my birthday in September!

|Iran and New Zealand discuss ties, regional and international issues
TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif held talks with New Zealand Deputy Secretary for Multilateral and Legal Group Gerard van Bohemen in Tehran on Sunday, exchanging views on bilateral ties as well as some regional and international issues.
In view of the good political relationship between the two countries there are vast capacities to expand bilateral relations, especially in economic and energy spheres, Zarif said.
Van Bohemen said that his country is determined to broaden its relations with Iran, pointing to the important regional and international status of Iran.
He also called on Iran to back his country in its bid to win a seat at the 15-memebr UN Security Council.
Bohemen also emphasized the need to support Iran in its efforts to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes based on the NPT regulations.
Zarif said that Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons, referring to the dual approach adopted by West toward Iran's nuclear issue before and after the Islamic Revolution.
He went on to say that Iran insists on its right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, adding that Tehran seeks global nuclear arms disarmament.
Van Bohemen is responsible for advancing New Zealand's interests across a broad multilateral agenda embracing international security and disarmament issues, environmental and natural resource issues, and the promotion of New Zealand's interests at the United Nations and other international bodies.

Posts tagged moods
1. Change your environment, or leave the room.
2. Switch your thinking, or redirect your thoughts
3. Go outside and get some exercise
4. Listen to the music that usually lifts your mood
5. Look at those old photographs that always make you laugh
6. Text or call a friend who's really going through tough times
7. Be nice to a stranger – play it forward – and be kind.
Although we would all like to trust our feelings, they are not a good guide for the ways things really are. They are often fickle and irrational – and not an accurate measure of reality. As you've probably discovered:
1. Feelings vary depending on our health. If we're sick we often feel despondent and blah.
2. Feelings vary depending on our hormones – which is why doctors recognize and treat PMS.
3. Feelings vary depending on events and the changing circumstances of our life. If things are going wrong, or we're highly stressed, we feel inadequate and overwhelmed.
4. Feelings are affected by relationships. If we fall in love we feel happy and elated; if a relationship breaks up we feel rejected and depressed.
5. Feelings vary depending on the weather. If it's sunny we feel happy and optimistic; if it's cloudy and grey, we feel morose and negative.
6. Feelings can depend on the way we're being treated. If someone in a store is rude to us, we may react with anger, or even feel ashamed.
7. Feelings are affected by our actions at the time. If we do something kind we feel good about ourselves; and if we've hurt someone's feelings we may feel some regret.
So don't react and respond based on feelings alone. Always use your mind as well – and check your thoughts are accurate.
1. Try to figure out what is causing you to feel so awful, ashamed, or down.
2. Talk to someone you think will understand.
3. Identify and accept the feelings that you have (They're not right or wrong … it's simply how you feel right now.)
4. Express your feelings in a safe, non-threatening way.
5. Related to this, think of ways to manage them effectively so that you don't feel quite so bad, and so completely overwhelmed.
6. Try to get some space, or a change of scenery.
7. Avoid being with people who demand too much from you (especially those who drain you emotionally.)
· Personality – By nature, some people are more enthusiastic, excitable and changeable. They may feel as if they're on an emotional roller coaster ride with unexpected swings in the way they feel.
· Family norms - Some families are chaotic and unpredictable. It seems like everything that happens to them is a crisis, there are outbursts of emotion, and feelings are intense. Other families are more stable - and they reward staying calm, controlling your emotions and thinking rationally.
· Cultural norms – These can vary widely and they define the norms for a country, culture or social group. For example, the Italians are known for being emotional. They are warm, affectionate, and show how the feel. In contrast, the British are uncomfortable with showing their emotions – and are known for having "a stiff upper lip".
· Early life experiences – If our main caregiver was sensitive to us and responded to our needs in an appropriate way then we're likely to be on a more even keel. However, if our caregiver ignored us, or we picked up the message that a lot of fuss was needed to get a small response then we might have a tendency to over-react. Alternatively, we may have concluded that nothing makes a difference so put up barriers and hardly feel at all.
· Negative life experience – If you've experienced a trauma that shattered your world you may expect the worst, and always be on edge. Alternatively, you may have buried your emotions as way of surviving and now it's hard for you to feel anything.
1. Acknowledge how you feel – as it's better to be real than to stuff your emotions and pretend that things are fine.
2. Encourage someone else … and see the difference it makes. It will not just help them, you will feel much better, too.
3. Get some exercise. Exercise releases the "feel good" hormones (endorphins) so you'll feel less depressed, and you'll have more energy.
4. Set some short term goals, and then work to reach those goals. There's nothing like success for improving how we feel.
5. Focus on the things that you naturally do well – to remind yourself, again, of your talents and your strengths.
6. Talk to a friend. There nothing worse than feeling isolated and alone. But spending time with others can raise your self-esteem. Also, it puts things in perspective - so your problems start to shrink.
7. Reward yourself, or do something you enjoy. You deserve to be nurtured, affirmed and treated well. When you're battling your feelings you need that extra lift.
8. Journal how you feel. It's highly therapeutic to express what's on your mind - and when it's out in the open it starts to lose its hold.
1. Be honest with yourself, and accept how you feel. You can't work with your feelings if you deny that they are real.
2. At the same time, don't keep going over the negative events, or they'll start to dominate you, or spiral, and get worse.
3. Don't react right away – take a breath and count to 10. Make sure you keep control and don't do something you'll regret.
4. Try to notice what are triggers and provoke negative feelings – and when you're calm, try to think through how to cope and deal with these.
5. Think of things that you can do to try and help improve your mood … such as going for a jog, or talking with a caring friend.
6. Remind yourself that you are valuable, and have a lot to offer … and think of all your strengths, and all the good things you have done.
7. Choose just to let go of the past, and try to focus on the present. Don't let it stop you living, and having a great life.
Depression puts a negative spin on everything, including the way you see yourself, the situations you encounter, and your expectations for the future.
But you can't break out of this pessimistic mind frame by "just thinking positive." Happy thoughts or wishful thinking won't cut it. Rather, the trick is to replace negative thoughts with more balanced thoughts.
Ways to challenge negative thinking:
1. Think outside yourself. Ask yourself if you'd say what you're thinking about yourself to someone else. If not, stop being so hard on yourself. Think about less harsh statements that offer more realistic descriptions.
2. Allow yourself to be less than perfect. Many depressed people are perfectionists, holding themselves to impossibly high standards and then beating themselves up when they fail to meet them. Battle this source of self-imposed stress by challenging your negative ways of thinking
3. Socialize with positive people. Notice how people who always look on the bright side deal with challenges, even minor ones, like not being able to find a parking space. Then consider how you would react in the same situation. Even if you have to pretend, try to adopt their optimism and persistence in the face of difficulty.
4. Keep a "negative thought log." Whenever you experience a negative thought, jot down the thought and what triggered it in a notebook. Review your log when you're in a good mood. Consider if the negativity was truly warranted. Ask yourself if there's another way to view the situation. For example, let's say your boyfriend was short with you and you automatically assumed that the relationship was in trouble. It's possible, though, he's just having a bad day.

Roughly 20% of the population struggle with high sensitivity. Typical traits include the following:
1. As students, they work differently from other people. They often pick up on subtleties and may think deeply about a subject before sharing in a discussion or contributing in a classroom setting. (This does not necessarily mean they don't understand the material, or are too shy to speak in public. It has more to do with the way the person processes information.)
2. They tend to be highly conscientious in their work. They notice and pay attention to details, and they think things through very carefully. Also, often being highly sensitive is equated with higher levels of intelligence, being highly intuitive and having a vivid imagination. Highly sensitive individuals work and learn best in quiet and calm environments.
3. Highly sensitive students and employees generally underperform when they are being evaluated. They are highly conscious of being watched, and this inhibits their ability to function at their peak.
4. Although some individuals who are born with this trait may seem to be more introverted by nature, being introverted and highly sensitive do not always go together. Instead, environmental factors have a greater influence on how the individual feels and reacts.
5. People with high sensitivity are more sensitive to both negative and positive experiences. Thus, they are more affected by rough treatment, pain, heartaches and insensitivity from others … but also seem to benefit more from being treated with kindness, care and thoughtfulness.
6. Other common characteristics of the highly sensitive person being easily over-stimulated (hence the need for quiet and calm), being more emotionally reactive than others, and having higher levels of empathy.
1. Accept that we all feel low at times (but recognize that's different from clinical depression.)
2. Don't beat yourself up about feeling miserable. Remind yourself it's normal to feel this way sometimes. (That is, we all feel bored, discouraged or a failure at times.)
3. Be real and acknowledge that today is a bad day so it's going to be harder to keep your motivation.
4. Think about one thing you can try or do to interrupt your thinking and take your mind off things.
5. Get up from sofa, or switch off your computer, and make the small commitment to take some form of action. For example, just going for a walk can start to lift and change your mood.
6. Smile at yourself, and other people you encounter. You'll start to feel more human, and things won't seem so bad.
7. Don't keep looking back, or going over what went wrong. That won't help your feelings, or help to move you on.
8. Think of things that make you happy, or people you enjoy, or all the many things that you are grateful for.
Feelings come and feelings go. There is no need to fear them and no need to crave them. Be open to your feelings and experience them while they are here. Then be open to the feelings that will come next. Your feelings are a part of your experience. Yet no mere feeling, however intense it may seem, is your permanent reality.

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.
Controlling your emotions doesn't mean ignoring them. It means you recognize them and act on them when you deem it appropriate, not randomly and uncontrollably.
1. Know your emotions. There are a million different ways you can feel, but scientists have classified human emotions into a few basics that everyone can recognize: joy, acceptance, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger, and anticipation. Jealousy, for example, is a manifestation of fear - fear that you're not "as good" as something else, fear of being abandoned because you're not "perfect" or "the best".
2.Recognize that emotions don't just appear mysteriously out of nowhere. Many times, we're at the mercy of our emotions on a subconscious level. By recognizing your emotions on a conscious level, you're better able to control them. It's also good to recognize an emotion from the moment it materializes, as opposed to letting it build up and intensify. The last thing you want to do is ignore or repress your feelings, because if you're reading this, you probably know that when you do that, they tend to get worse and erupt later. Ask yourself throughout the day: "How am I feeling right now?" If you can, keep a journal.
3. Notice what was going through your mind when the emotion appeared. Stop and analyze what you were thinking about, until you find what thought was causing that emotion. Your boss may not have made eye contact with you at lunch, for example; and without even being aware of it, the thought may have been in the back of your mind, "He's getting ready to fire me!"
4. Write down the evidence which supports the thought that produced the emotion or against that thought. When you begin to think about it, you might realize that since nobody gets along well with this particular boss, he can't afford to actually fire anyone, because the department is too short-staffed. For example, you may have let slip something that you should not have said which angered him, but which it is too late to retract.
5. Ask yourself, "What is another way to look at the situation that is more rational and more balanced than the way I was looking at it before?" Taking this new evidence into account, you may conclude that your job is safe, regardless of your boss's petty annoyances, and you're relieved of the emotion that was troubling you. If this doesn't work, however, continue to the next step.
6. Consider your options. Now that you know what emotion you're dealing with, think of at least two different ways you can respond. Your emotions control you when you assume there's only one way to react, but you always have a choice. For example, if someone insults you, and you experience anger, your immediate response might be to insult them back. But no matter what the emotion, there are always at least two alternatives, and you can probably think of more: (i) Don't react; do nothing. (ii) Do the opposite of what you would normally do.
7. Make a choice. When deciding what to do, it's important to make sure it's a conscious choice, not a reaction to another, competing emotion. For example, if someone insults you and you do nothing, is it your decision, or is it a response to your fear of confrontation? Here are some good reasons to act upon:
a) Principles - Who do you want to be? What are your moral principles? What do you want the outcome of this situation to be? Ultimately, which is the decision you'd be most proud of? This is where religious guidance comes into play for many people.
b) Logic - Which course of action is the most likely to result in the outcome you desire? For example, if you're being confronted with a street fight, and you want to take the pacifist route, you can walk away—but, there's a good chance that burly drunk will be insulted if you turn your back. Maybe it's better to apologize and keep him talking until he calms down.

If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.
Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they're going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.
- Depression is a serious condition. Don't underestimate the seriousness of depression. Depression drains a person's energy, optimism, and motivation. Your depressed loved one can't just "snap out of it" by sheer force of will.
- The symptoms of depression aren't personal. Depression makes it difficult for a person to connect on a deep emotional level with anyone, even the people he or she loves most. In addition, depressed people often say hurtful things and lash out in anger. Remember that this is the depression talking, not your loved one, so try not to take it personally.
- Hiding the problem won't make it go away. Don't be an enabler. It doesn't help anyone involved if you are making excuses, covering up the problem, or lying for a friend or family member who is depressed. In fact, this may keep the depressed person from seeking treatment.
- You can't "fix" someone else's depression. Don't try to rescue your loved one from depression. It's not up to you to fix the problem, nor can you. You're not to blame for your loved one's depression or responsible for his or her happiness (or lack thereof). Ultimately, recovery is in the hands of the depressed person.
Signs that your friend or family member may be depressed
· He or she doesn't seem to care about anything anymore.
· He or she is uncharacteristically sad, irritable, short-tempered, critical, or moody.
· He or she has lost interest in work, sex, hobbies, and other pleasurable activities.
· He or she talks about feeling "helpless" or "hopeless."
· He or she expresses a bleak or negative outlook on life.
· He or she frequently complains of aches and pains such as headaches, stomach problems, and back pain.
· He or she complains of feeling tired and drained all the time.
· He or she has withdrawn from friends, family, and other social activities.
· He or she is either sleeping less than usual or oversleeping.
· He or she is eating either more or less than usual, and has recently gained or lost weight.
· He or she has become indecisive, forgetful, disorganized, and "out of it."
· He or she is drinking more or abusing drugs, including prescription sleeping pills and painkillers.
How to talk to a loved one about depression
Sometimes it is hard to know what to say when speaking to a loved one about depression. You might fear that if you bring up your worries he or she will get angry, feel insulted, or ignore your concerns. You may be unsure what questions to ask or how to be supportive.
If you don't know where to start, the following suggestions may help. But remember that being a compassionate listener is much more important than giving advice. Encourage the depressed person to talk about his or her feelings, and be willing to listen without judgment. And don't expect a single conversation to be the end of it. Depressed people tend to withdraw from others and isolate themselves. You may need to express your concern and willingness to listen over and over again. Be gentle, yet persistent.
Ways to start the conversation:
· I have been feeling concerned about you lately.
· Recently, I have noticed some differences in you and wondered how you are doing.
· I wanted to check in with you because you have seemed pretty down lately.
Questions you can ask:
· When did you begin feeling like this?
· Did something happen that made you start feeling this way?
· How can I best support you right now?
· Do you ever feel so bad that you don't want to be anymore?
· Have you thought about getting help?
Remember, being supportive involves offering encouragement and hope. Very often, this is a matter of talking to the person in language that he or she will understand and respond to while in a depressed mind frame.
What you can say that helps:
· You are not alone in this. I'm here for you.
· You may not believe it now, but the way you're feeling will change.
· I may not be able to understand exactly how you feel, but I care about you and want to help.
· When you want to give up, tell yourself you will hold of for just one more day, hour, minute — whatever you can manage.
· You are important to me. Your life is important to me.
· Tell me what I can do now to help you.
Avoid saying:
· It's all in your head.
· We all go through times like this.
· Look on the bright side.
· You have so much to live for why do you want to die?
· I can't do anything about your situation.
· Just snap out of it.
· What's wrong with you?
· Shouldn't you be better by now.

Laurent Robinson has been placed on injured reserve by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and will miss the remainder of the 2012 NFL season, according to NFL.com. Robinson suffered yet another concussion during last weekend's loss to the Houston Texans.
Robinson finishes the year with just 24 receptions for 252 yards in seven appearances. He signed a five-year, $32.5 million contract with the Jags in March of this year.
Fantasy Impact: Though it's not really his fault, Robinson has been a big disappointment for the Jaguars and fantasy owners this season. Signed to be a No. 1 receiver following a breakout year with the Dallas Cowboys in 2011, Robinson was unable to shake a myriad of concussion-related problems.
Cecil Shorts and rookie Justin Blackmon will be the team's top two wideouts for the remainder of the season. Both receivers should see a minor increase in targets with Robinson out. The bigger influencing factor on their fantasy value for the rest of the season will be how they jell with Chad Henne at quarterback now that Blaine Gabbert has also been lost for the year.

1.1 On November 13, 2013, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed significant protections for World Trade Center workers into the Workers' Compensation Law under Article 8-A.
The legislation extends and enhances workers' compensation eligibility and benefits for World Trade Center workers. Most notably, the legislation reopens the World Trade Center Registry; extends the deadline period for filing Form WTC-12, Registration of Participation in World Trade Center Rescue, Recovery and/or Clean-up Operations, with a deadline to September 11, 2014; reopens previously time-barred World Trade Center claims and considers them timely; and adds qualifying conditions to the law.

4.53/5 rDev +11%
Picked up a 22 oz bomber at Jungle Jim's in Fairfield, OH. I poured the contents into a pint glass to form a 1-1/2" head of dense, off-white foam. The head lasted and lasted and left thick, sticky lace down the sides of the glass as I drank. The beer itself was clear, iced tea colored and had tiny, micron sized floaties hanging in suspension (I LOVE FLOATIES!) Gotta give this a "5" for appearance!
The nose is nice. Typical for most barleywines I've tasted. Big sweet malt smell. This one even has a hint of spice... maybe a little cinnamon.
Taste: Bready, malty but with a nice hoppy balance. There is a bit of a smokey flavor too. Alcohol is well-hidden at 11.26% abv. The lingering taste is hops (at the end).
Mouthfeel: Really nice! Creamy, smooth, robust....everything you could ask for in a barleywine. I would say.... just a step down from INSANITY by Weyerbacher (which is an ENGLISH style Barleywine).
Drinkability: Very good for a barleywine with 11.26% abv. This is a sipper.... but it's not going to knock you out.

A: Orange body with a thin white head
S: Candy fruits, citrus faint hops
T: Sweet malty, alcohol, hops in the finish
M: Smooth creamy, balanced, warming alcohol, mmm
D: For a barley wine at 11.26% I'd say it's highly drinkable. The alcohol is not over powering, very balanced, but I've only got one left... I think this beer might go well with a cigar.

Poured from a bomber to my Stone pint glass. Reddish hazy copper looking appearance with an off white head with superb lacing.
Smelled lots of malts, fruits, hops and a bit sugary.
The taste is bitter but sweet that was amazing. Thick and warming with alcohol.
This was my first barley wine ive had and it left a very good impression on me. I love this beer! i need to have it again. Highly recommended

Bottle shared with Chris, Adam and Pino at Volo, split into some wine glasses. 22oz, ABV as stated.
Pours an amber brown, khaki head leaves a big collar with a thin film of head. Unfiltered and big legs on this one. Nose has some caramel and toffee, citrus hops can be sensed but feel muted in the overall spectrum. Taste has big toffee notes, some candied flavour, bitter hops notes come after the fact. Great full and creamy feel, with a significant sweetness that doesn't even come close to cloying. Great feel that lingers immensely, alcohol is felt but not at all tasted. Great drinkability again. Fantastic.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a snifter glass.
A: The beer is a deep orange/brown color, with a short off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is of floral hops, caramelized malts, citrus, brown sugar and some alcohol.
T: The taste hits with a burst of hops bitterness, which I thought would be more toned-down since the beer has been sitting for almost a year. There are sweet flavors of caramel, brown sugar and citrus. The malt character is very hearty and there's a significant alcohol sting. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.
M: Smooth and very crisp, medium body, medium carbonation, slightly sticky finish.
D: Very tasty, goes down dangerously easily, not too filling, very strong kick, excellent representation of style, the only difference that I see between this beer and the 2007 release is that the hops presence is a little stronger in this release, but that's mostly because of the extra year of aging. Overall, this is an excellent high-powered beer to drink for a long time.

22 ounce bottle poured into a tulip. No idea how this was aged. I picked it up from a bottle shop a couple weeks ago.
A - Beatiful cloudy dark orange color. Half a finger of off white head. Doesn't leave a lot of lacing.
S - Dark, sweet fruits. A little bit of hop character remains after 4 years, but if it was there originally it's certainly in the background now. The 11.26% abv is nowhere to be found. Just a touch remains, but for such a high abv, it's basically non-existent.
T - More of the same. There's just a hint of alcohol, but the taste is dominated by sweet and dark fruit. They blend together really well. After 4 years, this is just a big bready, caramel, and fruit dominated beer. I really enjoy what it's like now. I've never had such an old beer, but the alcohol character barely being there amazed me. It stepped aside to let the flavor of this beer come out, and I really loved the flavor.
M - So smooth and absolutely no alcohol. Definitely still a sipper. It's a big beer no doubt.
O - I really enjoyed this beer. It's not my favorite style, but it was a really nice step away from the usual. I have to give credit where it's due, and they really made this to stand up to years on a shelf. I'll be going to grab some more of this soon. If you can find it, I'd recommend doing the same.

A- An aggressive pour yielded a light, translucent orange-ruby-red body with a two finger thick, creamy off white head. Small traces of sediment were barely visible, and this one was much lighter and more carbonated than I expect in a barleywine. Lacing was thick and sticky, coating the sides of my snifter.
S- Very fruity- Apples, raisins, pears, grapes, with strong alcohol and very sweet malts thrown in for good measure.
T- Flavors are extremely subtle, complex and very well blended, producing a flavor profile full of dry grapes, other fruits, sweet malts and toffee. Hops round this out to finish off with an extremely well balanced flavor profile that hides the alcohol content very well.
M- Smooth- almost too smooth to be a barleywine. Very well carbonated, dry and sticky at the same time with just enough tingle in the finish.
D- Watch out, this Old Guardian is a sneaky bastard. He disguises his alcohol content so well that you don't know what hit you until you stand up. This is an absolutely fabulous and highly drinkable beer.
Had another one of these tonight after aging it for several years. 100% worth the wait, but a very different experience. A slightly weaker head over a darker and significantly more opaque body. Dry grapes have been reduced to only a slight tartness, replaced almost entirely by the toffee and brown sugar flavor and mouthfeel complete with a delicious powdery feeling on the roof of the mouth. As smooth as this one was before it only improved with age.

The Old Guardian Early Spring 2008 release poured a autumn amber, hazy with a good two finger foam head. It has some real nice sea foam lacing.
The aroma was wonderful hoppy smell with slight esters coming up to greet the schnaze. Get some pine smell with a faint brown sugar.
The taste has a solid foundation with the barley malts with a nice bitterness and hop finish then back to a sweetness. The brew is perfectly carbonated for me and is light and very smooth. The over 11% is present but not overwhelming.
Definitely one of my favorite Barley wine's to date. I will have to recommend this to one of my friends that has not embraced the style.

This barleywine style ale was released in 2008 and I had the joy of sampling it on-tap at the American Flatbread Stone event. My goblet was delivered to me a deep amber/garnet color with a short lived head. The retention of the collar was good however and the lacing scattered. The aroma was surprisingly light, alcohol esters and heat with a general sweetness of floral hops and ripened fruit. The flavors blew me away. Vanilla, caramel malt, floral and citrus hops, oak, nuts, especially hazelnuts, pears, apples along with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. As it warmed up the alcohol appeared more prominently but at 11.26% it was astoundingly well-hidden. Dangerous! The mouthfeel was very smooth, the carbonation delicate and the body medium/full. As complex as an aged cognac yet highly drinkable. Wow.

I opened this bottle, quite unsure of what to expect, but with fairly high hopes. After all, Stone has yet to let me down when it comes to extreme styles (even when a particular variety doesn't make my 'jump at it when I see it in a bar' list, I can appreciate the quality of the brew.
This bottle was stored for about 2 years (even though it is 09/2009 and the bottle is called 'early 2008 release'; perhaps my tag was wrong?). Poured into a glass, it shows an unusually uniform color- about 15 SRM. It's surprisingly uniform in color, actually. (The beer is fairly light in color but has the light-stopping power of a stout. I've never seen anything quite like it).
The bottle opened with a pop and pours with a a thick head for such a strong beer; within a few minutes the head recedes to the edge of the glass and remains indefinitely. The first taste is of malt, pleasantly roasted or burned malt, and a generic hoppy bitterness which quickly changes to Stone's infamous grapefruity cascade hops flavor. Thia is a Stone product, alright. What's surprising is that there is no alcohol taste- at all! For a beer this strong, that's a little surprising and not at all unwelcome. The mouthfeel goes quickly from thick and malty to rather thin; the overwhelming aftertaste is of grapefruit followed by grapefruit & copper.
This beer is not for the faint of heart; about half-way through the bottle I can already feel the effects of it's 11.26% abv. Finishing this bottle off is rather like 4.5 5% beers. That being said, the beer is quite drinkable and I would happily buy another, if I could find it, or Stone's next limited edition Barleywine.

Early 2008 release.
Pours a healthy amber chestnut wood color. Thinner head... Aroma is sweet and pleasant, not a tinge of alcohol. Taste is very smooth... hops were used gently. This beer is full of flavor and it a balanced example of a barleywine. Decent clarity. Low to moderate carb.
Nearly a perfect BJCP style match!

Stone Brewing Co. has released a wonderfully-balanced and delightfully complex barley wine style ale.
Apparently seen by many of my barley wine-drinking bretheren as a weak brou, I must disagree. The color and light tones of fruit and nuts in the smell are certainly indicative of a lighter barley-style ale, however, the light maltiness in the mouth is balanced by the strength and presence in the taste of the malt alcohol. This tastes a lot stronger than it is, but that does not detract from the plum overtones and fantastically-round finish. The beer rolls quite well from the front of the tongue to the throat and presents a good balance between the fruit, the oats, the roasted hops, the 11.25% ABV, and the notable maltiness.
Certainly worth the $7 I paid for it, Stone comes through once again.

Poured from a 22 ounce bottle into a tumbler glass.
Appearance: Dark orange, with an off-white head. Left decent lacing.
Smell: Lots of barley malt. Smooth and strong, almost creamy alcohol aroma.
Taste: Alcohol is upfront but doesn't get in the way of enjoyment of this barley wine.
The most drinkable barley wine that I've ever had.

Pours an orange/amber color producing little carbonation and a solid white head.
Aroma consists of a boozy, fruit aspect of cherry, apricot, rye, and wheat. There is also a distinct candy-sugar essence in the trailing nose.
Taste has a very sugary sweet flavor initially all the way into the center where a grainy rye flavor presents itself. From start to finish, this beer is noticeably boozy, and the finish produces a waft of warmth on the palate from the high ABV.
Aftertaste produces a tart bitterness to counter the sweetness, and the 2 mingle on the palate with the alcohol, for several seconds after the swallow. Smooth and surprisingly palate refreshing, this beer is a true winner.

Getting unreal at the Chelsea Flower Show
Along with Wagner, Verdi, Britten, the Royal Philharmonic Society and heaven knows what else, the Chelsea Flower Show has a double-zero anniversary this year. It launched in 1913 (just like Britten). And as it's my annual, unmissable, non-musical indulgence, I've just been to press day – where, as always, I was captivated by the fantasy perfection of it all. The gardens are a glorious fiction unsustainable for more than five days – which is "life" for Chelsea purposes. And the most telling sight I saw all day was people fiercely scrubbing down the flagstones on the M&G exhibit (a particularly lovely one) because each time somebody stepped on them it left a mark. Marks are reality: something thing that doesn't get you gold come judgement time.
Another thing that always strikes me in the Flower Show is that the design of gardens has grown ever closer to contemporary opera staging. Planting/singing is no longer quite what it's about. It's more to do with concepts. And at Chelsea every garden seems to have to make a statement about something more than horticulture. Poverty in Africa is popular this year. And chronic illness is a standard favourite, represented this time round with gardens for arthritis, ocular malfunction and motor neurone disease – along with one design that I suppose sums up all the others in that it's called "Get Well Soon".
Thank God these gardens are a joy to look at, otherwise their intimations of mortality could get oppressive. And of course they are a joy. A day at Chelsea is the sort of fix that keeps you on a high for the next fortnight. It should be available by NHS prescription.
One last thing I like about the Flower Show is the way that shops and businesses around West London get into the Chelsea spirit. OK it's commercial opportunism, but charming when it comes with effort. My tip: if you're doing Chelsea and you want a grand tea afterwards, the Landmark Hotel, Marylebone has a special running this week with a floral theme. You can have jasmine cheesecake, lavender tiramisu and saffron jelly. It's not cheap but it's a treat I've just allowed myself, under the towering palm trees in the Landmark's winter garden. I discovered that the trees aren't real, but it took scrutiny to know. And as I say, reality isn't the thing in Chelsea week.

Dont know if anyones watching this game, steve smith is acting like a straight up *****
Arguing, yelling, pushing, getting in the face of any eagles player near him after every play
Pathetic from a veteran
Let's go Bucs
Had Cam not had 4 TD's, he'd have been doing the same thing.

Cam would of been a *****, 89 did it on every plau....had to be broken up every play
He lucky i wasnt a ref
Let's go Bucs
I feel the following positions/area of needs need to be addressed in the offseason. Any ideas how we can or will try to address them?
CB (We need like 2-3 of these guys)
FS (Ronde can't play for ever)
DT/End (MORE PASSRUSH PLEASE)
TE (We need to develop this position before it becomes a weakness)
I just saw I'm ranked in top 10,000 score in the world on Black Ops 2... Its sad I know.
This made me chuckle. Who here would shat their pants?
