Frigidity is desire imagined by a woman who doesn't desire the man offering himself to her. It's the desire of a woman for a man who hasn't yet come to her, whom she doesn't yet know. She's faithful to this stranger even before she belongs to him. Frigidity is the non-desire for whatever is not him.

The Patapat Viaduct is an elevated road — over 30 meters above sea level. This 1.3 km long coastal bridge can be found in the municipality of Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte. Connecting the Maharlika Highway in Laoag to the Cagayan Valley, this is a busy street above the coastal areas of Pagudpud. The fourth longest bridge in the country, this winding concrete beauty is said to be the northernmost roadway part of Ilocos Norte.
The Patapat Viaduct does not just give motorists a fantastic view of the beach but it also solved the problem of landslides, causing major vehicular accidents in the area.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said he "wants to believe" that Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not say that anyone who dares upset Bosniaks will have to face 100 million Turks.
The head of the Islamic Community in Montenegro said that Turkey's Prime Minister will visit the country in April for the opening of an Islamic Centre.
Dozens celebrated Recep Tayyip Erdogan's party's win at local elections in Turkey while the strongman leader thanked his Bosnian, Macedonian and Kosovo 'brothers' for support.
The Turkish prime minister's statement that "Kosovo is Turkey, and Turkey is Kosovo" was misinterpreted, officials in Ankara insisted after Serbia expressed outrage.
The president's declaration of support for Turkish premier Erdogan, the target of sustained protests in recent weeks, has drawn both praise and condemnation from Macedonians.
Economy and trade ministers from Ankara, Belgrade and Sarajevo formally agreed to improve economic ties in an attempt to boost mutual trade.
While Kosovo's power company expects the new Turkish grid owner to underwrite more than 400,000 euro in recently agreed upgrades, the consortium is making no commitments.
A Turkish soap opera has inspired locals in the Croatian city of Osijek to mull rebuilding the wooden Ottoman-era bridge that once spanned the river Drava.
Construction of four 42-storey skyscrapers, set to be the tallest buildings in Macedonia, started on Monday in Skopje.
As Turkey contemplates raising Macedonia's NATO accession bid at the alliance's Chicago summit, Greek remains adamant that it will block any attempt to force its hand.

Drake says "No New Friends " Barbie says ???
/ Se
I swear when I am at the Gym that's when I really listen to the lyrics of music so as I finished a deadly workout this weekend ,Usually I take one hour on Sundays to regroup and plan for my week and as I put together my list I noticed I would write out the task followed by a slash and a persons name. It was later I glanced to make sure I didn't forget anything and there the lyrics hit me . " No new friends "Say what ? looking at this list I was quickly reminded that the empire I am building is comprised of MANY people . Of course I have the vision but execution comes with leadership . right ?
First let me ask you this " if you are doing everything will everything get done ?" Seriously No and don't event try to say yes ! It's funny that I had this control syndrome that I needed to design, I needed to sew , I needed to sell and market and PR and blah blah blah .While I preach that you must understand these elements and do some while your starting out because of costs my point is at one point you need to LET GO ! If you do the same thing you will not get different results. So let go and start delegating !
Secondly , the Fashion industry is not only booming but its changing . Do you invest in yourself to learn , to be coached, to be advised, to be helped ? I will never forget my first fashion mentor , she would help me to the max and then she asked me , so if your serious show me ? I later saw an invoice and almost had a heartache but then I said " Favala you do not know everything and you never will and if you invest in yourself to continue learning your brand will reap the benefits and you could help others .I sure am glad I did that and not too mention now in my life I have business coaches and a TEAM of wisdom , the dream team of VERY successful woman and men in and out of his industry that are go getters. You see the TEAM doesn't always have to be in fashion but has to understand your vision because fashion is a business. Invest in YOU
Lastly, a team isn't always about what people do for you but what people do WITH you , let me explain. The buzz of May Kay and Hebalife is insane and these brand ambassadors are selling products but ultimately they are adding others to this circle with one purpose. Create a purpose and get others on your team that believe in what you do , It makes your life easier . The team does the real work with just living the lifestyle you created.
If you cant write your "to do" list and write peoples names next to them that either can assist or you can go to for knowledge then your brand is needing the help . You owe it to yourself and your customers. In order to grow you must fly out of your own space of control and take action and add just a few "new friends" will do just the trick.

Fashion & Business are always in style
If you haven't heard me rant about " fashion is a business and not a runway then here it goes one more time , FASHION IS A BUSINESS!
This weekend I was doing what I do best " shopping" and I ran into a young lady who was getting inspiration for her new collection . So I began speaking to her and she was on her 4th collection for the year and I said WOW that is amazing , where could I see your collections and she proceeded to tell me that she she has only sold a few here and there and her future goals for buyers etc . So I then asked " what else is your brand comprised of ? she quickly said just clothes so I began to ask her where does she get her inspirations for her lines and she said her grandfather used to be photographer and when she was a child she would spend hours in the dark room and began a passion for photography and not just any photography vintage old looks. So her line mirrors that era, I said wow so why don't you have that apart of your brand since its a passion ? she looked at me eyes wide opened , giggled and said how ?
You see we are all comprised of passions and in fashion we have different customers and in this BUSINESS ;clothing is just one facet that you can offer your customer so if you add many elements in to your brand the possibilities are endless. What do you offer your customers besides a piece of clothing ? Besides the experience ? Do you offer a brand that encompasses a lifestyle ? While Fashion is a Business , fashion should represent you because "You are your brand and if people like you they will do business with you "-KK
Have a question email us
I designed a collection now how do I get buyers ?
When I first started designing in college I didn't even know what a " real buyer " was let's just say the cash sales from customers made me happy and as long as I didn't have to eat ramen noodles I was happy but then it dawned to me "what was my next step ? Yup this question was so frequent in my head that I started having dreams about it and kept me on edge because I needed to know what they want. They as in "buyers" what do buyers really want and how do I get them? Later I realized that I wasn't the only designer having this infamous question. For every designer I work with this is the most popular question so here's what my easy button says: If you have a strong fashion brand, buyers will detect it without you even selling it to them (point blank)… so your real question should be "Do I have strong fashion brand?"
Here are some of my snap snap tips to see if you're close to establishing that brand?
Snap 1- Have you done your Beautiful Plan (some might call it the scary Business Plan) The map that gels your business aspect with fashion. Think of it this way without a map where do you know where you're going? Do you really have a fashion brand that encompasses who you are? Does it really connect with your target audience and your entire vision/ lifestyle and purpose? I like to always reflect on why I started designing clothes in the first place because that reason always leads to a higher meaning.
Snap 2- Show us what you got? Building a strong fashion brand is basically mirroring what you love and what else you have to offer to the world besides fashion that is your passions. The reality is not everyone is going to wear your clothing but if you can impact a wider audience through your line, make money from it and leave the same impact would you do it? Now that's what you call a fashion footprint!
Snap 3- Do your Homework, you can't expect to make people happy, excited and motivated about being in tuned with your brand if it's the wrong audience. I always say "who's your girl, what does she do, where does she shop, how much money does she make etc . You can't even begin to approach a buyer if your customer doesn't even shop there. If you understand your audience you will understand the buyer's behavior.
So as you can see there is no easy button for buyers and while there're many elements in getting a " real " buyer the facts say it all : a buyer needs no introduction to a line because it's speaks for itself in everything that it has to offer and in this industry that is your sales pitch . Don't get me wrong they look at your collection; they look at your sales which don't always have to be warranted but most importantly they look at your social media involvement. At the end of the day a buyer wants to buy a line that will sell to new customers and keep old customers because fashion ultimately is dollar for dollar.
Does your brand speak without saying "I am just a clothing line; if your answer is yes then you have a brand!

Stonehill Alum Creates Local Career Pipeline
Greg Clarkin '01, MEDITECH Senior Recruiter
Over the last two decades, Canton-based Medical Information Technology Inc. (MEDITECH) has hired more than 100 Stonehill alumni.
What's more, Senior Recruiter Greg Clarkin '01, who is responsible for MEDITECH's college recruiting, is doing his best to see that number grow and to strengthen the ties between the College and the company.
According to Christina Burney, the College's associate director of Career Services, Clarkin and his team are doing a stellar job of reaching Stonehill's students.
"MEDITECH is on campus constantly," she says. "They staff a booth at the career fair, do mock interviewing and participate in career information nights. They do a lot to build a brand among seniors. And they do love our Healthcare Administration students."
The company, which started in 1969 with a handful of employees, now employs nearly 4,000 people with offices in Canton, Westwood, Norwood, Framingham and Fall River. And federal healthcare reform, with its emphasis on electronic medical records – MEDITECH's specialty – means the forecast ahead is bright.
"We have a modest plan for consistent growth," says Michael Malone '91, associate vice president of development and a 20-year employee. "And it's meaningful work. Everyone, at some point, interacts with a hospital. What we do gives healthcare providers more time for hands-on patient care, which everyone can appreciate."
MEDITECH, however, hires more than just Stonehill healthcare administration graduates. Clarkin notes they also employ those with degrees in computer information systems, biology, and English, to name a few.
"We want graduates with strong communication skills, both written and verbal, who can also get up and speak in front of people. Those are precisely the kinds of skills people get from a liberal arts education," says Clarkin. "We know we can train people on our software."
Another long-time employee, Mike Vinson '90, sees similarities between Stonehill College and MEDITECH. "Both are very busy, energetic places, with lots of smart, ambitious people," he notes. "Both are relatively young, have grown tremendously, and are in a position of strength. Both are stable, consistent places."

<!– google_ad_section_start –> An obese orangutan has been put on a strict diet by Malaysian wildlife authorities after two decades of gorging on junk food handed out by tourists, a report said on Friday. Jackie reportedly weighs 100kg, twice the normal weight of an adult female in the rich jungle habitats of Borneo island. The 22-year-old ape was relocated more than three months ago by the wildlife department in the state of Sabah – which lies in the northeast of Borneo – because visitors to the Poring forestry park kept feeding her. <!– google_ad_section_end –>

Alas, poor Elena Dementieva, though.
Anastasia may not be the best Russian player for long. I'm hoping for a big resurgence from Anna K now.

Alternative: Airfoil
I tried airfoil and I wouldn't say it was elegant either. First, the airfoil speakers program for linux uses mono to run which means lots of extra libraries to install. Second the linux version on their site doesn't actually work unless you copy some DLLs out of the windows version into to Forth, with it all set up the sound stuttered, was garbled and has a large delay so it was useless. Fifth, you have to buy it, thankfully I could trial it before finding out it didn't work well.

Always choosing basic black, boring beige, and neutral grays off the rack because you aren't sure what colors look good on you? Then, you are definitely in need of a personalized color analysis! This is my passion and favorite service to do for new clients. During a color analysis session, you will learn all about color and how to determine which hues look the most flattering against your individual skin tone, hair and eye colors. I will assemble a fully-customized color fan containing 17 different sticks of fabric swatches for you to take home and use to eliminate all of the guess work when you go shopping and while de-cluttering your closet. You'll learn what each fabric color stick represents as well as the psychological effects of wearing each one. The best part is that your selected colors are all going to be in harmony with one another and your personal coloring, so you can mix and match them with ease and create a wardrobe of limitless looks!
It is so important to represent our authentic selves on a day-to-day basis. We'll use this time together to pinpoint the message you want to convey about yourself to others. Your unique personal style will be easily defined after we've discussed your preferences and how they relate to your lifestyle, profession, goals, and personality. As a result of this session, we will be able to determine which clothing stores and designers, beauty routines, and seasonal trends are an ideal fit for you.
Do you feel like you have a closet full of clothes and still nothing to wear? Or maybe you have so many gaps in your wardrobe that you don't know where to begin buying? Articles of clothing that have never been worn, bearing the original price tags? Or 10 pairs of the same khaki pants and absolutely no versatility? Let me take a look, piece by piece, and suggest which items to keep, alter, repair, or reject. We can create a list of priorities to shop for in order to assemble a more well-rounded wardrobe. We'll keep in mind your lifestyle, body type, personal style and coloring while taking a critical, but light-hearted look at your greatest purchases and biggest regrets.
Schedule a personal shopping trip (or two!) to start filling in those pieces that your closet desperately calls out for. We'll establish a budget that you're comfortable with before we hit the stores and I'll be happy to do some preliminary shopping in order to find the best sales and stores to fit your style, figure, and wallet. I am also available to do special occasion and seasonal shopping trips. Let me know what you need and we'll shop 'til we drop!
It's possible that you already have a closet that's practically perfect in every way, or that we've completed our journey together and you are ready to flaunt your new wardrobe to the world! This time calls for a style session, during which I'll give you a fresh perspective on how you can pull various pieces together to create complete head-to-toe looks. We'll build a handy reference library of recorded outfits, so you never feel at a loss for what to wear. This is also a great service to try when you just want to mix up some of your old favorites to give them new life and style.
I offer various packages and discounts, including a fantastic referral program. Please contact me for pricing and availability or to schedule a complimentary phone consultation.
Please note that HER Style is currently accepting clients in Southern New Jersey or within the Greater Philadelphia Area only.

but I had an affair, and there's no way I'd ever go through that again.
I will not repeat that part of my past!!
And maybe some people would have an affair, but the opportunity never presented itself.. I"m sure that sounds bad..
I'm just saying I never thought I'd have an affair, I just wasn't "like that" and no one who KNOWS me could imagine I did that..
but it was all in the situation.. in what was going on with my husband and I .. and this guy that was doing all the right things or acting the way I wanted my husband to act...
I am NOT proud that I Had an affair, but if it hadn't been for that wake up and smell the coffee moment... hubby and I would have travelled down a worse road and we'd probably be apart..
in that case I wouldn't have my 2 year old daughter and we wouldn't have the better relationship we have. Plus I don't do stupid things anymore in general.
I hated lying about the affair, and when everything came out I remained honest about everything at all costs!! I know my husband changed for the better too...
Posted 10 February 2006 - 05:22 PM
Anyway, I understand where you are coming from in your explanation. I voted It Depends because the behaviors and motivating factors involved in infidelity can be extremely complex...you just never know. The "other woman" DH was involved with was-still is for that matter-a mean and spiteful creature out for her own amusement as a rememdy for her own miserable marriage (two young sons no less). Pathetic. However, I know another "other woman" that is totally opposite-my mother. She's too wonderful, smart, funny and downright amazing to not be, as Linda phrased it perfectly, "appreciated" and loved (my mom is a widow)...the wife has made her uninterest in her DH clear (they've been married for over 40 years), thus the attraction between he and my mother began. He adores her, treats her like a queen, tells her how smart, beautiful and funny she is and has for almost 8 years. The wife's attitude was/is the problem. *shoulder shrug* Her loss.
The difference between my and my mother's situations? I had not given up on my marriage, I wasn't neglecting it and I wasn't done yet.
But, as Ally McBeal's Fish aptly put it, "Bygones". The affair was my DH's wake-up call and we anticipate a long, stong and happy marriage as a result. :bliss:/>
Pepperbird, I appreciate and admire your ability to be candid about your history. My DH is and it just makes me love him all the more for his self-awareness and responsibility (previously nonexistent!). :)/>
Posted 10 February 2006 - 05:58 PM
My mom kept thinking the guy she was in love with would eventually leave his wife and kids..
which is mostly the case. But most of them don't.
Anyway, I think my mom deserved to be appreciated, but at the same time, so did my dad. So I'm glad he found someone.
And funny thing, she had a full blown affair on her husband before she met my dad... (my stepmom that is)
Posted 10 February 2006 - 06:13 PM
Weird side karma based note-rumor has it that my EX DH has only 1 month to live...some kind of cancer or something...so says one of our brides maids that still talks to him (not me) and why not still talk, he did f*#@ them all, yes all.

Now if the case were they were doing this now while we were friends ans such, i would not say that i would no longer be their friend, but it would be very hard for me to hear about it and support it in any kind of way.
We went through that with my DH brother and wife. He had affairs and we were always drawn into the middle. It hurt me seeing the kids being affected and him saying i'm sorry and her taking him back again and again. We finally just had to back off and not be "close' with them any longer. We just slowly withdrew our friendship. It was just causing us too much pain and emotions. We are now not close at all and they know that is the reason. But i wont lie and say i support someone when i do not. And more so when it continues to happen again and again.
We have been married going on 15 years and we have just learned how to choose our friends and what works and what dont. Alot of friends we have lost over the years for one reason or another. Not grown up enough, still parties too much, smokes WAY too much, just different things, but it does affect who we spend our time with. And its sad to say but....we are finding less and less friends because of the lifestyles of others.
I dont need perfect friends just decent ones with some values these days. But i would not throw a friendship away for a past offence.

friend thats what matters, I will stand behind your decision and choices weather I agree or not.
Posted 08 June 2006 - 12:41 AM
At this point in my life I'm upset to find my friend not being supportive of my becoming a surrogate ... doesn't mean we're not friends because ethically she doesn't agree with my decision.
Posted 19 February 2007 - 12:57 PM
My Dh and I know a couple that are married -- but we also know the Ex-wife. So it is a "unique" time when we do visit them. They do make a great couple; completely devoted to each other and such a loving couple. We couldn't imagine them loving anyone else -- so to speak.
BUT for us we can impagine...
We also keep in touch with the Ex-wife... and that makes things even more "unique". She is wonderful - caring - generous person. While she has "dated" ... she hasn't found that person to be with.... kwim?
What makes it even more "soap operaish" the new wife and the old wife --- were good friends!!! Needless to say -- the new couple does not socialize with the Ex-wife.

Don't crucify Yuvraj, Tendulkar pleads
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar pleaded with fans not to crucify Yuvraj Singh for his lacklustre performance in the final of the World Twenty20 and warned against writing him off.
Tendulkar wrote on his Facebook page that Yuvraj, who took 21 balls for his 11 runs, had a tough day and should be criticised but should not be written off.
"It is the unpredictable nature of the game that makes cricket such an exciting sport. As cricketers, we always enjoy the applause when we succeed but it is the support and encouragement from fans during tough times that we appreciate the most," said Tendulkar.
Tendulkar reminded the fans when they took pride in Yuvraj's scintillating performances in the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 50-over World Cup in 2011.
"All of us took pride in the heroics of Yuvi when we won the T20 World Cup in 2007 and his outstanding contribution in the ODI World Cup win in 2011 will always be cherished.
"Last evening, Yuvi had a tough day and he can be criticized. But he should not be crucified nor should he be written off," he said.
Tendulkar said he admires Yuvraj's indomitable spirit and hoped that the southpaw will bounce back strongly.
"I have been an admirer of Yuvi's indomitable Spirit which has overcome many challenges, both on and off the field. Knowing Yuvi's determination and ability to fight adversities, he will emerge stronger, proving his critics wrong, yet again.
"Yuvi, one off day cannot undermine your tremendous contribution in many sweet memories over the years. You may be down today but you are far from being out," Tendulkar said.

Nelson Guda, a world-wandering photographer, artist and writer (with a doctorate in biology), sent me a note early this week from Kashmir, the beautiful and turbulent patch of territory caught for decades in a border dispute between India and Pakistan. Tensions were heightened when a revered Muslim shrine was destroyed in a fire on Monday. (The cause is still in dispute.) Guda is there for his Enemies Project, in which he is photographing people on opposite sides of conflicts around the world. I invited him to send a Dot Earth "Postcard," which is posted below with more background and news links: Read more…

Dispatches from Rio and Nepal: Knife Fights Over FirewoodBy Andrew C. Revkin
In the final hours of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, a reverberating theme has been "sustainable energy for all" — a push catalyzed by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in a stump speech on energy poverty that he has delivered many times over the past year. The most effective lines in these speeches draw on his personal experience growing up with no electricity in post-war South Korea:
I studied at night by a dim and smoky oil lamp. Only when I prepared for examinations was I allowed to use a candle. Candles were considered too expensive to use for ordinary homework.
As those of us in wealthy countries ponder which light bulb to use, some 2 billion people still lack any night-time illumination other than kerosene or the like, with a similar number cooking on firewood or dried dung. The consequences for health, household income and the environment are enormous. At current trajectories for electrification and population growth in poor places, even by 2030 close to 1 billion people will still lack electricity.
I'm a fan of the right tool for the job. In many rural communities where a conventional power grid will never reach, solar systems can be the right tool. In others, tiny hydroelectric generators can do the job. In some places, the energy source could be gas generated from farm waste or manure. There are abundant success stories like that of Selco in India and Clear Star in Mozambique and Seacology in Southesat Asia.
But in other places, propane or other fossil fuels, or simply a more efficient stove for burning wood, may be the right choice. I'm convinced that in the world's poorest places, the transformative power of access to affordable energy — enabling everything from homework to better health to a home business using a sewing machine — trumps concerns about climate implications.
For a stark example of the costs attending business as usual, read the following "Your Dot" contribution from Elizabeth Hadly, a Stanford University biologist who's been doing field work in Nepal's Himalayan highlands focused on the impact of climate change on small mammals. She describes a shocking incident that occurred on her most recent research trip, as families running neighboring guest houses violently fought over a load of firewood:
We had been hiking for two days and were above 10,000 feet. The air felt fresh after our time in Kathmandu Valley, where brick kilns and fires generate a thick layer of smog that blankets the city. In one of the world's treasured landscapes, birds of every color replaced each other as we ascended, matching the red, pink, white and purple rhododendrons. I scanned the forests for signs of the red panda since we were in one of the last strongholds of the species. There was no real understory, and although the trees were straight and tall, all but the highest branches were gone, leaving no cover for birds, much less the red panda.
A Memorial Day for War's Fallen, Perhaps Someday for War Itself?By Andrew C. Revkin
I wrote a song in the early 2000's called "Arlington," which partly retells the remarkable history of the nation's last resting place for its fallen defenders but also notes that the cemetery has been running short of space. I've posted a new video version on YouTube to mark Memorial Day:
The core of the chorus is a question: "Where will they go when there's no more room in Arlington?"
I first posted a version of this song here in 2008. It's worth revisiting on Dot Earth as a way of reflecting on the seemingly endless chain of sacrifices, generation by generation, in defense of freedom and nationhood. Is it possible that a day will come when warfare will be history, instead of news — when there'll be a memorial day not only for those who sacrificed, but for war itself?
There's a long line of argument pointing to an eventual end to war, in part due to the increased connectedness and interdependence of human societies for whom it was once easier to identify someone else on the planet as the "other" — and thus a threat. Those making the case include Steven Pinker, Matt Ridley and, most recently, John Horgan in "The End of War."
To some extent the roots of such thinking extend back at least to Darwin. In a 2008 piece called "Darwin and Havel's Unified Planet Theory," I cited Darwin's articulation of this notion in "The Descent of Man," first published in 1871:
As man advances in civilization, and small tribes are united into larger communities, the simplest reason would tell each individual that he ought to extend his social instincts and sympathies to all the members of the same nation, though personally unknown to him. This point being once reached, there is only an artificial barrier to prevent his sympathies extending to the men of all nations and races.
As I've been asserting lately, with the buildout of the "Knowosphere," we may be poised to surmount that barrier. Or not.
We now have the tools and capacity to build a connected, informed, empathic, collaborative world — or to build walls and live in isolated bubbles.
My guess, no surprise, is that we'll long inhabit a hybrid planet, with the trends largely toward more peaceful coexistence, and with losses in martial clashes — especially as a percentage of the global population — continuing to shrink.
But the bugles — brass or digital — will continue to play several dozen times a day at Arlington for a very long time to come.
Secretary of Defense on Climate, Foresight and the National InterestBy Andrew C. Revkin
It's worth noting Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta's remarks on energy, climate and security last night at an Environmental Defense Fund event honoring the Defense Department for its work on the intersection of these issues. Here's an excerpt:
Our mission at the Department is to secure this nation against threats to our homeland and to our people. In the 21st century, the reality is that there are environmental threats which constitute threats to our national security. For example, the area of climate change has a dramatic impact on national security: rising sea levels, to severe droughts, to the melting of the polar caps, to more frequent and devastating natural disasters all raise demand for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
I was pointing out the other day that with the polar cap melting, we now have problems with regard to who claims the area in the polar region. And very frankly, one of the things I hope we get a chance to work on is to finally get the United States of America to approve the Law of the Seas treaty, which has been hanging out there for so long. We are the only industrialized nation that has not approved that treaty. It's time that we did that.
The quest for energy is another area that continues to shape and reshape the strategic environment – from the destabilizing consequences of resource competition to the efforts of potential adversaries to block the free flow of energy.
These strategic and practical considerations weigh heavily on us at the Department of Defense. They weighed heavily on us as we developed our new defense strategy. In crafting that strategy, we decided that this could not just be an exercise in budget cutting. It had to give us the opportunity to look to the future, and decide what is the Defense Department going to be, not only today but in the future. And that meant we have to be efficient, we have to be innovative, and we have to invest in the technologies of the future.
As one of the largest landowners and energy consumers in the world, our drive is to be more efficient and environmentally sustainable. We have to be able to have the potential to transform the nation's approach to the challenges we are facing in the environment and energy security. We've got to look ahead to try to see how we can best achieve that. Teddy Roosevelt once said that "in utilizing and conserving the natural resources of the Nation, the one characteristic more essential than any other is foresight."
From 9/11/2001 to 9/11/2011 and BeyondBy Andrew C. Revkin
Sept. 11, 9:53 a.m. | Updated
For me, like anyone either physically close to the Sept. 11 attacks or linked to them by losses of loved ones or friends, the anniversary elicits a flood of thoughts and feelings.
I recall rushing to the Indian Point nuclear power plants to assess whether security measures had been tightened (big dump trucks had been parked across the entrance), then picking up my younger son, three years old at the time, at daycare. Once the trains started running on Sept. 12, I went into the city to join my colleagues covering every facet of the unfolding calamity. I dug in on everything from the risk that gasoline tanker trucks could be turned into weapons (there's renewed resonance to this story given the latest terror alerts) to the anthrax attacks and the apparent role of severe drought in contributing to the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Here are a few themes that stuck with me:
The Military
I wrote on the impact of the attacks at West Point, where a fresh class of cadets confronted a new form of warfare not reflected in the curriculum of the United States Military Academy. I was inspired to see how professors there rewrote syllabuses in real-time. I was moved deeply as I watched hundreds of cadets stream across the campus to an outdoor prayer service:
Capes flapping, they flowed like a wind-tossed river in the shadow of Storm King Mountain, where they listened to biblical passages about "terrible happenings" as storm clouds scudded from the north.
In the decade since, the Pentagon has shifted significantly toward recognizing the merits of focusing on the roots of conflict and not only on mounting a strong response once conflict threatens American interests.
The Dust
I recall deep fears and anger expressed over the possible impacts of dust and gases rising from the pulverized remains of the World Trade Center (some directed at my coverage).
Research since then has bolstered the initial conclusion that the prime health risk was to workers and first responders spending days or weeks on the piles of smoldering rubble, with no evidence of increased mortality in residents or office workers exposed to the dust.
The Grief
I will never forget asking the songwriter Jack Hardy, an acquaintance through music, to reflect on the loss of his brother Jeff in the twin towers (Jack has since passed away, as well). Here's some of what he told me a week after the attacks:
"I was 8 to 10 blocks away when it came down," Mr. Hardy said…. "I saw that building go down knowing my brother was in it," he said. "Coming down, slowly and surely crumbling. It made me angry at every disaster film ever made, because they don't begin to have the horror. I headed down the West Side Highway until I was knee deep in ash."
In a portion of the interview that didn't make it into the paper, he said the calamity looked utterly predictable in retrospect. It was, he said, as if we had raised two middle fingers to the rest of the world and filled them with bankers.
"I'm shocked that nobody is saying maybe we should reassess our own foreign policy," he said. "These people think they're revenging stuff. Now we think we're revenging it. We're missing the point."
There's so much more to consider.
As human populations and appetites crest in coming decades, a quality that was critical after 9/11 will be needed more and more — resilience.
I don't just mean resilience after the fact, but finding ways to incorporate this concept into how we plan, invest and behave, particularly because some of the biggest hard knocks we face are obscured by largely irreducible complexity and uncertainty.
What does this anniversary bring to mind for you?
A pulse of excellent reports on the impact and meaning of 9/11 has been building for awhile. One of the latest additions is "The Reckoning," a sweeping, powerful and illuminating package produced by The Times. The collection of papers in The Lancet on 9/11 health issues is a must-read. Scientific American has a useful roundup of reports on everything from the still-uncertain health impacts of the dust to the accuracy of memories of the event. Slate has a provocative analysis concluding that the country has massively overspent on homeland security (which of course doesn't account for Paul Slovic's work on how the "feeling of risk," not rational calculus, dominates how humans react to threats).
[Follow events on Sunday, Sept. 11 through the City Room blog.] But my favorite coverage so far comes from Radio Rookies, a project of WNYC radio that lets young people build radio stories. Here's a consolidated report called "Our 9/11: Growing up in the Aftermath":
I've heard snippets all week driving here and there and encourage you to listen online to one or two of the reflections on the terrorist attacks by young people who were children at the time. There's more content on the Web site, including a video report on Eric Leinung, who was 12 years old when his big brother, Paul, went to work on the 100th floor of the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001, and didn't come home.

Somali Agony and the Outside WorldBy Andrew C. Revkin
Aug. 3, 9:12 a.m. | Updated below
In absorbing the horrors being inflicted on the people of southern Somalia by their Shabab Islamist tormenters, I was reminded of a meeting I covered in 2008 for an article called "Failed States, Disasters and 'Preventive Action'" and I was irked by recent efforts to link this catastrophe to human-driven climate change. That is an unsupported distraction from the causes, and any talk of addressing this crisis.
First, a look back at the meeting on failed states. The crisis at that time was cholera in Zimbabwe, but the "Center for Preventive Action Symposium" at the Council on Foreign Relations was exploring core issues relevant in Somalia today.
Here are a couple of excerpts from my article: Read more…
Wanted: Republicans for Responsible Oil PolicyBy Andrew C. Revkin
12:18 p.m. | Updated
When President Obama announced the release of oil from the country's Strategic Petroleum Reserve today, the usual suspects weighed in all around.
Iran and other oil exporters, along with the American Petroleum Institute, criticized the move.
Joe Romm, who's directly on his game on such issues, referred readers to his 2008 congressional testimony laying out the logic for such releases if they're coupled with conservation measures. His statement before a House subcommittee (when gas stations ran short of the number 4) is relevant now:
[S]elling a relatively modest amount of crude oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve while promoting oil efficiency could pop the speculative oil price bubble and lower prices
House Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio, unsurprisingly, had a markedly different reaction, saying that Obama was "using a national security instrument to address his domestic political problems." His statement also reminds voters of the Republican approach to energy, which boils down to one word — more — and is only slightly more fleshed out on a Facebook page called the "American Energy Initiative."
The same attitude is echoed by the most vocal cheerleader for fossil fuels in the Senate, James M. Inhofe, the Republican of Oklahoma, who devoted a long speech earlier this year to the untapped riches beneath American soil, with nary a word about conservation. (As I wrote at the time, aren't conservatives supposed to be into conserving things?)
In the end, as long as the Republican Party remains hostage to factions holding to such fossilized notions, my guess is it will be increasingly marginalized, given the reality that Americans of both parties, outside a small bubble, are very enthusiastic about the responsibility, even the patriotic duty, to use a great gift — oil — more thriftily. (Let's set aside the tougher coal question for another day.)
This is shown quite vividly in the graph above, from the invaluable ongoing "Six Americas" study of attitudes on global warming science and policy, led by researchers at Yale University and George Mason University. The question was whether respondents would support a very high standard for vehicle fuel efficiency even if it raised the cost of cars and trucks.
The bubbles, which you've seen here before, represent the size of segments of society that have fairly well defined attitudes on science pointing to a rising human influence on the climate. The labels clearly convey who's who.
Even those dismissive of global warming science are close to neutral on sharply raising vehicle performance. Just to be clear, this is from the 2009 survey. Anthony Leiserowitz, the lead Yale researcher on the project, told me today that they haven't asked that question in more recent surveys (unfortunately, to my mind). The "dismissive" bubble is substantially larger now. My guess is attitudes on mileage standards have not changed, given the persistence of high gas prices. (It's worth noting that the survey also shows universal support for increased research on renewable energy alternatives.)
I asked Leiserowitz to weigh in a bit more on the meaning of this graph and related findings, and the message for politicians: Read more…
The Thing That Scared UsBy Andrew C. Revkin
The thing that scared us most about Osama bin Laden, I think, was what seemed to be his — and many of his acolytes' — rational mega-murderousness. In American action thrillers, the bad guys sometimes used what appeared to be blind terrifying terrorism as a guise for merely felonious behavior. (The "Die Hard" franchise nearly always centered on that construction.) But here were engineers and others with advanced degrees whose obsession was an end to modernism and a return to primal law.
They pulled off an astonishing feat of coordinated anti-engineering in the takedown of the towers that for so long gave Manhattan's skyline a balance that it still lacks. Facilitated by the Internet, they used one vital modern device, jet aircraft, to destroy another, the vertical structures that enable concentrated urban life and the ferment of creativity and commerce that goes with it.
If Bin Laden's cause were to spread, the prospect of expanding human progress based on education, communication, commerce and innovation itself would have been imperiled.
Even Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist, added a proviso to his book, noting that the spread of fundamentalism could still derail innovation-driven human progress.
But the remarkable courage and skill of the team that assaulted bin Laden's lair in Abbottābad, Pakistan, over the weekend made that outcome a little less likely.
It's appropriate, perhaps, that discussions of the death of Bin Laden are taking place on Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, which commemorates those lost in another period of rational fanaticism — centered on mechanized, normalized mass murder.
Humanity, then and now, tamped down such unthinkable darkness. It scares us a little less today.
But it should always scare us enough to realize that vigilance, preparedness and agility are as vital in fighting terrorism, rational or not, as they are in limiting losses from other kinds of inevitable hard knocks.

Egypt, Inkblots, Agendas and Feeding 9 BillionBy Andrew C. Revkin
I recently wrote a couple of pieces aiming to move "Beyond the Eternal Food Fight" between techno-cornucopians convinced that innovation and efficiency will feed 9 billion prospering people and enviro-calamatists convinced the cliff is nigh, or we're already over it.
It may be time to do the same thing for the hybrid debate over the role of climate change in propelling food price spikes and political instability in Egypt and other turbulent places.
When you look behind dueling posts and columns, it's clear that the building and long-lasting influence of humans on the climate system is progressively tipping the odds toward outcomes that can be bad for agriculture in many struggling places. And it's doing so just as the human "population cluster bomb" is creating high densities of people in many of those same places and the growth of the global middle class is amplifying appetites.
However difficult it may be, though, it's probably best not to look with too tight a view at particular events, most recently the turmoil in Egypt, in building arguments for specific policies. And it's clear, too, that trends in food availability and cost are shaped by so many local and global factors, with all kinds of feedback loops, that claiming causality is inadvisable.
Keith Kloor and Roger Pielke, Jr., have both pointed out that events in Egypt remain the geopolitical equivalent of a Rorschach inkblot, shaped by a sufficiently wide array of factors that they can be linked to just about any agenda – particularly the environment and climate change.
Rising food prices have clearly jolted a country and region where a "youth bulge" had already created trouble by producing too many young men with too few job prospects.
Pielke points out that a longer view of prices, adjusted for inflation, makes a link to climate change pretty challenging. The paper he cites, by Daniel Sumner, the director of the University of California Agricultural Issues Center, is well worth reading.
For analysts and campaigners stressing the climate factor as the keystone influence on food prices, it's also worth remembering that grain stocks these days are also not particularly stressed, from the local (Kansas) level up through a global view. A post from last fall on grain stocks and food (in)security on the Big Picture Agriculture blog (at the time, the unrest was in Mozambique) has some helpful context on the mix of issues affecting food availability: Read more…
What If: On Uprisings, Oil Kingdoms and the Energy GapBy Andrew C. Revkin
7:16 p.m. | Updated Gal Luft, an analyst of the intersection of energy and security policy, has posted a troubling portrait of what might unfold in the United States if the turmoil in Egypt spread to Saudi Arabia, along with the limited options to respond, given deep dependence on petroleum. [There's much, much more on the Saudi question.]
It's been clear for a long while that America remains hostage to oil shocks – and has yet to initiate the long-term and sustained effort that'd be required to limit the economic and strategic risks.
I sent the piece to several other scholars and researchers in this arena. Below you can read a section of Luft's analysis, followed by an e-mail chat with him and then a variety of reactions, including those of Vaclav Smil at the University of Manitoba and R. James Woolsey, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

"We loved these cards and were very excited to order them. We ordered the brown, green, blue ones and they were absolutely perfect. Customer service was wonderful to talk to and we got our invites a week sooner than the email had said. Overall, I love the finished product and would definitely tell anyone about this site."
"My fiance and I loved the wedding invitation we ordered. We ordered in the pearl paper (which is a little thicker). I adore the design on the back of the card. The only negative was we had to pay extra for stamps because of the square shape."
"I was having the hardest time finding an invitation for my wedding, but once I saw this option, I was sold! I highly recommend it!"
"The invites came within a week of ordering them! I was so excited to open the box!! The cards were just like they were on the computer and the added sparkle, i loved it! Sophisticated and such a quick response from the WPD team! I also ordered the antique gold envelopes and they match perfectly!"
"I chose this invitation because I wanted an elegant yet modern look, and this one fit the bill! The paper is great quality, and I was able to personalize it to include details for both my ceremony and reception instead of using an additional card. I've received so many compliments from our wedding guests about the invitations...very classy and it fits our style perfectly!"

Colon Cancer Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - General Information About Colon Cancer
Treatment decisions depend on factors such as physician and patient preferences and the stage of the disease, rather than the age of the patient.[21,22,23]
Racial differences in overall survival after adjuvant therapy have been observed, without differences in disease-free survival, suggesting that comorbid conditions play a role in survival outcome in different patient populations.[24]
Following treatment of colon cancer, periodic evaluations may lead to the earlier identification and management of recurrent disease.[25,26,27,28] The impact of such monitoring on overall mortality of patients with recurrent colon cancer, however, is limited by the relatively small proportion of patients in whom localized, potentially curable metastases are found. To date, no large-scale randomized trials have documented the efficacy of a standard, postoperative monitoring program.[29,30,31,32,33]
CEA is a serum glycoprotein frequently used in the management of patients with colon cancer. A review of the use of this tumor marker suggests the following:[34]
- A CEA level is not a valuable screening test for colorectal cancer because of the large numbers of false-positive and false-negative reports.
- Postoperative CEA testing should be restricted to patients who would be candidates for resection of liver or lung metastases.
- Routine use of CEA levels alone for monitoring response to treatment should not be recommended.
The optimal regimen and frequency of follow-up examinations are not well defined because the impact on patient survival is not clear and the quality of data is poor.[31,32,33] New surveillance methods, including CEA immunoscintigraphy [35] and positron emission tomography,[36] are under clinical evaluation.

Searching for Bark – The Most Comfortable Jacket I Own
At this point, thanks to tumblr, Twitter, Google Reader, and Instagram (if you think I left anything out there, well then god help us all) I'd venture to guess that on any given day I must flip through nearly a thousand photos, which is a revelation that's simultaneously awesome and horrifying. Of these photos though, probably only ten or so will end up striking enough of chord that I remember them the next day, and from there, probably only one will ever have a lasting enough impact to inspire some idea in my head, but sometimes that's all it takes. As the weather turned a couple months ago, one image in particular jumped back to the top of my mental queue: this shot by the Sartorialist from just over two years ago now. Published during Scott Schuman's prime of producing images that were actually informing the budding menswear community, you could take any part of this outfit and make a case for why it's inspiring, but for me this shot remains all important for one reason – the jacket.
For months after first seeing this photo I scoured the internet, trying to find out exactly who made that knit duffle coat, but could never quite put the pieces together. That is until one day, I was scanning through the new arrivals section on Frans Boone's website, when I discovered an Italian brand I had never heard of before called Bark. I clicked through and bam, right in front of me was the very jacket that I'd been hunting for all this time. Unfortunately, my ever shrinking bank account prevented me from picking the jacket up that day, but I've kept Bark in my back pocket all this time. They aren't exactly an easy brand to peg down though, thanks to their lack of U.S. accounts and the fact that I don't speak a lick of Italian, but from what I've gathered Bark is a relatively young brand, headquartered out of the Modena in Italy. While you can't count on many Italian brands to have a very forthright internet presence, you can certainly count on them to have a clearly defined ethos. Brunello Cucinelli is always the strongest example with his sprinklings of philosophical overtones, but Bark is right up there with them, touting a philosophy tab on their website that heralds individuality through style. The juries still out for me on whether or not a knit duffle coat can make you unique, but either way it's still an enjoyable read nonetheless.
As for individuality, my Bark experience came to life this past week when my long sought after jacket suddenly resurfaced at a Saks Fifth Avenue in Maryland (Saks is the brand's only current U.S. account) during a year end sale. A few days later that jacket arrived at my doorstep and yesterday after months of coveting, I finally tossed on a Bark jacket for myself. The best way to sum up the jacket is a phrase that I said over and over again – it's like wearing a blanket, but in the best of ways. The knit is comfortable reminiscent of SNS Herning's sweaters in both look and feel, it's tight enough to actually keep out the wind, with a weight to it that I didn't expect. I considered taking the jacket off several times as I would dart into buildings, but it was simply too heavy on it's own to carry around. Ultimately though I would say that's a good thing. Bark's best asset is that they challenge expectations. You would think that a knit sweater would ever be as warm as a topcoat, or that a topcoat could ever really be as comfortable as a sweater, but Bark has figured out how to make what I would deem to be the most wearable winter coat I've ever come across.
For more from Bark check out their website, and keep an eye on Frans Boone's New Arrivals section as Bark's next season should be popping up there any day now.


text: In the crazy times in which we live, it helps to expect the unexpected. Sometimes you can think that you have it all figured out and then this world can throw a real curveball at you. Very few people anticipated that we would see a massive outbreak of the West Nile Virus in Texas this year or that the Mississippi River would be in danger of drying up after experiencing historic flooding last year. Who would have thought that we would see the worst drought in more than 50 years or that horrific wildfires would burn nearly 7 million acres of land? This is why economic conditions are always so hard to predict. A single "black swan event" can come along and change everything almost overnight. Our world has become incredibly unstable, and so who really knows what the rest of 2012 will bring? Will we see a stock market crash? Will the hurricane season be unusually bad? Will war erupt in the Middle East? Will we see a major earthquake on the west coast or even a volcanic eruption? Will the upcoming election cause an eruption of anger and frustration in America? We don't know the answers to those questions yet, and the truth is that we will probably see some things happen that very few of us are anticipating at this point. (Read More....)
