WASHINGTON — In a normal legislative battle, there comes a point when advocates have to stop letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. When it comes to gun control, the calculus is different: You have to stop letting the adequate be the enemy of the incremental but significant.
That maddening fact is why the recent uproar over assault weapons is so dangerously misplaced. I'm all for limiting access to assault weapons, although the impact would be more symbolic than practical.
But reinstating the ban was never in the cards. The best that could be realistically hoped for was a Senate floor vote on an assault weapons amendment — a vote doomed to fail.
So pounding Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for announcing that assault weapons would not be part of the proposal he brings to the Senate floor has the situation completely backward.
If Reid had included assault weapons, it would have doomed the larger effort, in particular the chance of expanding background checks for gun buyers. Requiring background checks for nearly all gun purchases is a change that is simultaneously more effective than banning assault weapons and more politically achievable.
Which is why the real worry of gun control advocates shouldn't be Reid's supposed perfidy in jettisoning assault weapons — it's whether the background check measure passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee is too strong even to make it to the Senate floor.
The behind-the-scenes Senate negotiating over background checks is being conducted by Democrats Charles Schumer and Joe Manchin and Republican Tom Coburn. They largely agree that the requirement for background checks should be expanded to cover most private sales — at gun shows, over the Internet, in other, nonfamily transactions. This would close a gaping loophole in the existing system.
The National Rifle Association argues that such checks won't deter felons and other ineligible purchasers determined to acquire guns. But the numbers belie that contention: More than 2 million would-be purchasers have been denied since the system was launched in 1994.
The real holdup in the negotiation over expanded background checks involves record keeping — specifically, whether private sellers should be subjected to the same requirement as licensed firearms dealers.

Antihistamines, which help reduce watery eyes and runny noses during allergy season, might also help ward off tumors too. A new report suggests that antihistamines may have significant anti-cancer properties as they interfere with the function of a type of cell that is known to reduce the body's ability to fight tumors - myeloid derived suppressor cells.

Scientists working to make gene therapy a reality say they have figured out how to bypass a blood stem cell's natural defenses and efficiently insert disease-fighting genes into the cell's genome.
The drug rapamycin, which is commonly used to slow cancer growth and prevent organ rejection, enables delivery of a therapeutic dose of genes to blood stem cells while preserving stem cell function. The findings in Blood could lead to more effective and affordable long-term treatments for blood cell disorders in which mutations in the DNA cause abnormal cell functions, such as in leukemia and sickle cell anemia.

A new analysis by Karolinska Institutet in Sweden found that drug therapy for ADHD does not entail an increased risk of suicide attempts or suicide.
Other studies have found that ADHD drug treatment would increase the occurrence of suicidal thoughts but the authors of the new paper in BMJ say those studies were too small scale and/or methodologically unsound, which make the results uncertain. For the new paper, the authors used national patient registers to identify all patients in Sweden diagnosed with ADHD between 1960 and 1996; a total of 37,936 individuals. These people were then followed over the period 2006-2009, in terms of drug treatment and events that could be linked to suicide attempts and suicide.

In the many hypotheses surrounding autism, one posits it is the consequence of abnormal cell communication.
Researchers at the U.C. San Diego recently did a study using a drug from 1916, suramin, which was approved for treating sleeping sickness. The findings in Translational Psychiatry were that it
restored normal cellular signaling in a mouse model of autism, reversing symptoms of the neurological disorder in animals that were the human biological age equivalent of 30 years old.

The number of deaths involving commonly prescribed painkillers is far higher than the number of deaths by overdose from heroin and cocaine.
In fact, the deaths due to overdose of opiods - legal painkillers - is higher than cocaine and heroin combined, according to a new paper. In a first-of-its-kind review of existing research, the McGill team has put the spotlight on a major public health problem: the dramatic increase in deaths due to prescribed painkillers, which were involved in more than 16,000 deaths in 2010 in the U.S. alone. Currently, the US and Canada rank #1 and #2 in per capita opioid consumption.

Due in large part to the popularity of energy drinks and chain coffee shops, caffeine intake by children and adolescents has risen substantially - some drinks are marketed to children as young as four.
Unlike nicotine, caffeine has slipped under the cultural radar as a harmless drug, even for kids, but some research is happening. A new paper about a small study says that after puberty, boys and girls experience different heart rate and blood pressure changes after consuming caffeine. Girls also experience some differences in caffeine effect during their menstrual cycles.

Quantity of Cellulose Needed
I'm interested in replacing my inadequate 35 year old fiberglass insulation in my attic with blown in cellulose. What i'm trying to figure out is how many bags I need. I want R-50, which comes out to 15" (right?). I have 1344sqft of attic floor space. The insulation is here and it says it's 2.2cuft. I'm assuming that's 2.2cuft compressed in the bag. How many cuft would it be once it's blown in... so I can figure out the number of bags?

Oak Park ambulance fees on the rise
Increase expected to bring in $90,000 annually
By Anna Lothson
The bill for those needing an ambulance ride in Oak Park is set to rise by $100 soon.
To keep up with rising labor and vehicle maintenance costs, Oak Park Fire Chief Tom Ebsen told the village board at a recent meeting that a fee increase is needed. The board was expected to pass an ordinance Tuesday night affirming that suggestion, which is anticipated to bring in about $90,000 more annually to the village, based on current call volume.
Ebsen's report to the board outlined that the last fee structure was set in 2009, and those fees were based on 2005 labor costs due to a contract negotiation process that wasn't settled until the following year.
Currently, labor, fuel and maintenance costs are 20 percent higher than 2005 and, since 2010, new ambulances have stricter regulations for exhaust emission control systems.
The new fee structure was determined by using the Naperville 2010 ambulance fee survey that polled 128 Chicago metro municipalities about their ambulance fees. Oak Park's new fee will put it slightly above the average of nearby municipalities, the report stated.
The updated structure brings resident ambulance fees to $500 for residents for basic life-support transport, $800 for advanced life support. For non-residents, the fee is $700 for life support and $1,000 for advanced life support.

I believe that all Oak Park residents benefit from having BLS and ACLS ambulance service. It saves lives. We pay for this service with our tax dollars, so why are we increasing rates to residents (many of which are probably elderly or victims of chronic illness). I feel that resident rates should be lowered or free. I think the money used to fund reduced ambulance rates is a better idea than funding a new gymnastics center which benefits only some children. Where are our priorities?
Posted: September 19th, 2012 10:15 AM
Ambulance bill for basic services is transport only. If you get an IV or EKG (which I would guess almost all get) you are now advanced life support. And don't forget the 15 dollar a mile charge. Why does Oak Park continually overcharge its residents? Pool fees, stickers, PD fees, parking lots? Why are we "slightly" higher than average? Because we pay a higher salary and the hours are costed at that rate. Double whammy.

Cleveland Cavaliers fire coach Mike Brown for 2nd time
The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired Mike Brown — again. Brown's second stint with the team lasted one season.
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND – Mike Brown's second shot with the Cleveland Cavaliers ended Monday after one season, as owner Dan Gilbert fired the only coach who has guided the team to the NBA Finals.
Brown had been rehired in April 2013 by Gilbert, who regretted dismissing him in May 2010. But after the Cavaliers went 33-49 and missed the playoffs, Gilbert decided it was time to make another change.
"This is a very tough business," Gilbert said in a statement. "It pains all of us here that we needed to make the difficult decision of releasing Mike Brown. Mike worked hard over this last season to move our team in the right direction. Although there was some progress from our finish over the few prior seasons, we believe we need to head in a different direction."
Brown, 44, had four years remaining on his $20 million contract. He was fired by the Los Angeles Lakers in November 2012, after a 1-4 start to his second season with the team. Brown went 272-138 in his first stint with Cleveland.
In addition to firing Brown, Gilbert announced he is making David Griffin full-time general manager.
Griffin had been the interim GM since Feb. 6, when Gilbert fired Chris Grant one day after the Cavaliers lost to a Lakers team that finished the game with five eligible players.
Gilbert said Griffin would lead the search for Brown's successor.
Silver rebukes Sterling again
LOS ANGELES – League commissioner Adam Silver has issued a new rebuke to Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling — this time over comments about Hall of Fame player Magic Johnson in an interview.
Sterling repeatedly disparaged Johnson's HIV status and dismissed his business and charity work in an interview that aired Monday with CNN's Anderson Cooper.
Sterling apologized in the interview for the racist remarks that earned him a lifetime NBA ban and a $2.5 million fine from Silver last month.
But when the subject turned to Johnson, Sterling repeatedly referred to the former Los Angeles Lakers superstar having "AIDS."
Sterling told Cooper: "He acts so holy. He made love to every girl in every city in America, and he had AIDS, and when he had those AIDS, I went to my synagogue and I prayed for him. I hope he could live and be well. I didn't criticize him. I could have. Is he an example for children?"
Cooper said Johnson would appear on his CNN show Tuesday.
The commissioner's statement said he apologizes on behalf of the league to Johnson, who "continues to be dragged into this situation and be degraded by such a malicious and personal attack."

I highly recommend this face mist for anyone! it smells lightly of roses and the mist is super fine and refreshing. I spray this on after applying powder or mineral foundation. It sets it and creates a non-cakey, dewy look. I recommend this to anyone who wants an inexpensive way to set foundation and keep your face looking fresh

So i bought the Vitamin E Face Mist for £7 from The Body Shop. I wasnt too sure how to use it first but now I use it almost everyday. I have good skin but with some oily parts, so i always use powder all over my face to get rid of the shine. I spray this product on a big powder brush and just lightly work it all over my face after applying powder. IT WORKS GREAT!! After using this product there was no trace of powder, and my face didnt look cakey at all. It left my skin looking naturally flawless!
It smells very refreshing and can even be used to wet an eyeshadow brush for a metallic look on the eyes. I would really recommend this as a cheaper alternative to MAC's Fix+.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Totally love this stuff. The mist that the bottle provides is so fine and the product itself is so refreshing, gentle to the skin and smells beautiful. It is very calming and, in warm weather, misting with this feels delightful. I haven't tried it over my foundation - maybe I should, but as a layer of moisture, this is very nice.
Recently purchased this Vitamin E face mist. So far, I LOVE it! Feels very refreshing, smells wonderful, and does an excellent job of setting make-up. The only down-side is the price. The bottle is small and expensive. I may have to find a cheaper alternative in the future.
I used up 3 bottles so far and I will buy this one forever untill they make it /hopefully forever :)/. So much I love this toner,I use it to set up make-up,I use it for my hair,to moisture my face during the day,it does moisturize beautifully without touching the face.The only thing I dont like it is too expensive.But I would buy again and again.:)))
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a very good face mist which I highly recommend. I use it as a refreshing spray on warm summer days and basically whenever my skin feels dry and in need of moisture.
I love the mild rose scent and the practical packaging. It does feel very moisturizing and refreshes my skin instantly. Gotta love this face spray.
The only downside with this product is the price. It's rather pricey considering you only get 100 ml. However, since the packaging is quite small it's quite easy to carry with you in the purse/handbag. I'd definitely repurchase. Vitamin E Face Mist is the best face mist I've ever tried. continued >>
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this after I apply my makeup to give me a dewy look. I like it, but it is a tad expensive. The scent is nice, a subtle rose scent, which is good for me, since I like roses. This is my cheapo version of MAC Fix+. I'd like to try Fix+, but it's an extra $5, and there's plenty of others things from MAC I'\d rather spend my money on. So I'll stick to this.
Wow, first spray that actually does something for my skin. Moisturizes so well and is essential in my daily routine now. I spray it on both before and after I've put my make up on.
I used to have to use a very heavy moisturizer that look greasy on me, but it was the only thing keeping me from not getting dry, but now I just spray this a few times on my face over a light oil-free moisturizer and it does the job. AMAZING.
TBS gets the worst things. I used their VE toner and night cream, and I got acnes.
I like this to use after putting on powder foundations for that dewy look. Does a good job setting makeup. I don't really load it on, just a few spritzes and my makeup looks fresh and less cakey.I also like it to spritz into my dried out MAC pots or any dried out gel liners. The scent is just ok to me, but if you like a lightly rose-scented smell, this has it. It is a little pricey but I don't use it all that much so it's ok.

Op-ed: Kathi Goertzen found the positive in everything, even brain tumors
Kathi Goertzen let her brain tumors teach her what's important in life. She did not let her brain tumors define her.
Special to The Times
"THIS brain tumor business has been a wonderful experience in many ways. It's changed my life and the lives of a lot of people I love and we've learned what's really important."
Kathi Goertzen said that. It helps sum up her courageous 14-year fight against brain tumors that ended when Kathi died on Monday. She was just 54 years old.
But that was Kathi. Wonderful experience? Brain tumors? Really?
Kathi could find the positive in anything. It's one of the many reasons we loved her at KOMO-TV and why she was loved throughout the Western Washington community.
I can't count the times I heard her in the newsroom, on the phone, at Children's hospital or out in public sharing her positive thoughts with people facing medical issues or other tribulations in life.
She let her brain tumors teach her what's important in life. She did not let her brain tumors define her.
She marched on as the same loving, giving, caring, kind soul that God put on this Earth.
God must have a mission for her in heaven. Maybe that's why he took her back.
I met Kathi when I came to KOMO-TV in 1987. She became one of the most important people in my life, a woman I would admire on the news set, and off, as a true professional and a role model for the entire Western Washington community.
Kathi and I cried together many times over the years. We cried the hardest when we lost four Seattle firefighters in the 1995 Pang Warehouse fire and when four Lakewood police officers were gunned down by an assassin in 2009.
Even as reporters, we couldn't cover the news without feeling the same emotions as everyone else.
We always knew what the other was thinking in those breaking-news situations. When I stopped talking, Kathi was always ready to add perspective or move on with a new thought or new information.
Kathi never, ever asked, "Why me?" But she did ask, "Why?" She knew there was a reason she had brain tumors. I think it was so she could spread the word about "what's really important." Cherish family and the people you love. Cherish good health. Cherish good times. Cherish good friends.
Share your love. Give back. Truly care for others and for community.
As a board member for the YWCA of Seattle and King County, she helped raise millions of dollars. She was a strong supporter of Angeline's Women's Centers. Year after year, she opened her heart to the Children's Miracle Network Telethon.
Kathi was courageous, inspirational and beautiful right to the end.
Her spirit will live on.
I spent some time on Tuesday with Kathi's daughters Alexa and Andrea. Andrea was quick to tell me that, like her mom, she was not going to hide during this tough time. She's ready to carry on the cause to push for more brain-tumor research.
And when I asked Alexa if there's anything I could do for her -- she turned the tables and told me it's OK for me to be sad around her because she knows I am sad.
Both of the girls, the day after their mother's death -- thinking about and caring for others.
Mom would be proud.
Dan Lewis is a news anchor for KOMO-TV.

In Honor of 'Inherent Vice,' the Best Thomas Pynchon Character Names, RankedJordan Hoffman September 26, 2014 10:27 AM
In an effort to speed along the effort, we've taken it upon ourselves to list our eighteen favorite character names from Pynchon works. Why eighteen? Well, that's a hidden reference to a conspiracy that you need to argue about on message boards for years. Note: with the acres of episodic text that has poured from Pynchon's fingers, this is really just a drop in the bucket. We fully expect angry letters handwritten on graph paper to arrive via Thurn-und-Taxis post.

Creekwood woman dies in traffic incident
Date: March 18, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff Writer
Wendy Suarez, the assistant principal at Jessie P. Miller Elementary School, died in a traffic accident Friday night.
Suarez, who lived in the Creekwood community with her husband, Frank, was driving alone Friday night to Jupiter to visit her brother when she got lost somewhere in Okeechobee, her husband said.
She pulled off the roadway to determine where she way was, exited her vehicle and was struck.
Suarez had been on the phone with her brother before the incident, telling him she was lost.
She hung up with her brother to orient herself.
After her brother didn't hear back from her, he became concerned and called Suarez's husband. Deputies later found her dead.
No further details of the incident are available.
Barry Dunn, the principal at Miller Elementary, said a district support team and grief counselors are at the school all day today.
Flowers, photographs and letters from students decorate a table in the front office.
The school called parents yesterday to let them know about the incident.
"This is an absolute tragedy," Dunn said. "We are trying to get through the day, week and month so we can return to normalcy in the future."
Suarez joined Miller in January 2011.
Prior to that, she spent time as a school administrator for Braden River Elementary, Daughtrey, Gene Witt, Palmetto Elementary and Tillman, according to her biography on the school's website.
Her biography states: "I am very proud to be part of the challenging, rigorous student life at Miller and can attest to the tremendous dedication of each staff member here. We work hard every day to help each child find success as a learner, classmate and friend. Our mascot, 'The Storm,' helps us remember each day to be honest, be responsible, cooperate, show self-control and do our best!"

Silver ETF Holdings Reach Record
Silver hit a one-month high on Monday, propelled higher by a broad-based rally in financial markets amid hopes that politicians can reach a compromise to avert the "fiscal cliff" in the United States.
Any improvement in the economic outlook should benefit the gray metal, which derives close to 40 percent of its demand from industrial users. Of course, silver also benefits from investment demand, which remains strong in this environment of extremely loose monetary conditions.
Indeed, silver exchange-traded fund holdings reached a record high of 606.2 million troy ounces last Thursday, finally surpassing the previous record set last spring, when prices briefly spiked above $50/oz.
The steady rise in ETF holdings is encouraging as it relates to the long-term silver outlook. Despite significant gyrations in prices, holdings haven't fluctuated nearly as much, suggesting that investors that buy these products are holding the metal for the long term and with conviction.
We see a similar pattern in gold ETFs, which also hit a record level in recent days above 83.7 million troy ounces.
In a recent interview with HardAssetsInvestor, Marcus Grubb, managing director of investment for the World Gold Council, explained that "It's quite rare that you get significant streams of redemptions in the ETFs. On a day-to-day basis, you will see redemptions. But overall, most quarters you see net additions to tonnage throughout the last eight years or so.
"The profile seems to be, even when the price corrects significantly in the gold market, that you don't get large redemptions. And when the price rises, you get significant new creations. So I think that these investors, generally speaking, are buy-and-hold investors."
Bottom Line: In our view, the basis for investing in gold and silver remains firmly in place. We continue to see the Federal Reserve's policy decision on Dec. 12 as the next big catalyst for the duo.

Bangkok, Thailand , 19 Mar 2014 -- Forests and grasslands combined cover more than 57 percent of Asia-Pacific's landmass, yet forests alone account for only 20 percent – and they are under threat, the FAO warns.
Forests cover one third of the Earth's landmass, performing vital functions. Around 1.6 billion people - including indigenous cultures - depend on forests for their livelihoods. Forests are the most biologically-diverse ecosystems on land, home to more than half of the terrestrial species of animals, plants and insects. Forests protect watersheds, which supply fresh water to rivers. They provide shelter, jobs and security for forest-dependent populations and play a key role in our battle against climate change.
Yet global deforestation continues at an alarming rate - 13 million hectares of forest are destroyed annually. In Asia and the Pacific, forest cover is depleted due to illegal logging, forest fires, conversion of forest lands for mining and other commercial activities. Globally, deforestation contributes more than 17 percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions that lead to global warming.
In China, rehabilitation efforts through a national forest plantation programme have resulted in a net increase in the region's overall forest cover, but in terms of natural growth Asia and the Pacific is gradually losing its complex eco systems made possible through natural forests. Simply put, we are destroying the forests we need for future generations to thrive.
In order to reverse these losses, concrete action is needed. FAO is calling on member countries across the region to consider forest restoration programmes and seriously implement sustainable forest management. It is also engaging young people from Asia and the Pacific in discussions on sustainable forest management, as they will inherit this critical but dwindling natural resource.
You or your designate are cordially invited to join us on this special day to hear the views of specialists – and youth, who ultimately will inherit the forests of the future.
When: Friday, 21st March 2014 (8 am – Noon)
Where: FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific – 39 Phra Atit Road, Bangkok
What: Discussion and debate "Forestry in a changing world!"
Who: Hiroyuki Konuma, FAO Assistant Director-General and Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific; Thomas Enters, UN-REDD Regional Coordinator; Caroline Liou, Communication Manager, RECOFTC; and students from: Asian Institute of Technology, King Mongkut's University of Technology, Anglo Singapore International School and Garden International School.

Commander mode works fine with my D800e and 2 SB-800s.

On the SB-800 display the flash shows an underexposure value after the exposure if the flash could not put out the requested amount of light. When I mistakenly had my lens set at f/22 my flash with 0 compensation showed a -2/3 EV under exposure. The other flash that was set at -1.3 compensation did not display any underexposure value. Make sure your flash shows that it was able to provide the requested power.

Hey Jen, just wanted to pass on my little experience with the Pliko. I used it for a while for a baby I nannied for about 4 years ago and while it's a good stroller, I HATED it. I'm not all that tall (5'6") but I was constantly kicking the back of the stroller while I pushed it. Not so bad in sneakers, hurts like the devil in flip flops! Your DH looks tall, so I wanted to pass that on. Could have just been the way I walk, but it was a very memorable experience, so much so that I completely bypassed it when considering options for myself.
|Tue, 07-20-2010 - 8:00pm
Hey, thanks for the input Kara! DH (at 6' tall) wasn't with me when I went browsing strollers.
|Tue, 07-20-2010 - 9:11pm
well, depends on what you're looking for honestly. Before we found out we were having twins I was set on the UppaBaby Vista. Everything I've read said it sounded great for parenst of all sizes, and I wanted something that had a handle that could adjust depending on who was pushing it. It's basically a bugaboo, but slightly more affordable, and the frame in the back is curved up, so when you step, you aren't kicking the frame. I've had two friends get it in the last 6 months and they both LOVE it. Other than that, I'm in my own little terrible world of double strollers and I don't like it, I want back in your world!
|Tue, 07-20-2010 - 11:56pm
LOL! Awwee having twins is going to be a bundle of challenge I'm sure but the double of love and double of reward will be so worth it!
|Thu, 07-22-2010 - 6:28pm
I don't know if you or DH are into walking and/or jogging for exercise, but I've heard a lot of great things about the Bob Revolution. It has a lockable wheel so you can either run or walk with it. Supposedly, it handles really well, even over rough terrain. It's a bit bulkier than other strollers though. I plan on getting it and having it be our only stroller. For Kara - they make it in a double too!

Georgia, 2010 (MIFF 2010, First Encounters)
Director: Levan Koguashvili
There's no such thing as the free world.
Morality is as grey as the run-down streets of contemporary Georgia in filmmaker Levan Koguashvili's gritty and satirical debut feature Street Days.
The old regime is gone but not forgiven by the citizens living amongst the loose bricks and abandoned buildings that line the Georgian streets. For middle-aged Checkie's generation, unbridled capitalism hasn't been easy to deal with, introducing a new world where everything, including drugs, has its price. When Checkie unwillingly becomes a pawn in a high-stake police sting he finds that life under democracy hasn't necessarily become easier for anyone.
"Street Days looks poised to lead a Georgian renaissance… [It] is just the calling card the beleaguered country needs" - Variety

Is exporting natural gas misguided?
By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl
President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association
The rapid escalation of natural gas fracking has driven its price below the cost of production, leaving a surplus advocates want to ship into the global marketplace. The desire to export has been embraced by President Barack Obama. He has indicated that by 2020, the United States could be a net gas exporter.
In his article, "The Obama administration's natural gas policy is tragically misguided," Chris Martenson sees exporting natural gas as counterproductive and shortsighted, as it could undermine domestic manufacturing and harm future generations.
For natural gas to reach global markets, it first has to be compressed and refrigerated down to negative 260 degrees Fahrenheit to be liquefied and shipped. Energy consumed in the gasification process amounts to about 25 percent of the energy in the natural gas. While economically profitable for some interests, from the perspective of the well-being of the country, it is a wasteful use of energy.
The increased use of natural gas is characterized as a bridge fuel to a low-carbon future. U.S. carbon emissions have fallen dramatically in recent years because of a combination of factors. Outsourcing, the economic recession and natural gas displacing coal-powered electric generation have lowered carbon emissions to their lowest level since 1994.
Martenson reports that some European utilities have been forced to mothball modern gas-fired electric generating stations because of the low cost of importing excess coal displaced from energy markets in the United States. U.S. coal exports to Europe in 2012 were up 23 percent. The imports both increase global carbon emissions and shift the emissions from the United States to Europe.
Martensen also challenges the concept of the U.S. having a 100-year supply of natural gas. The important consideration is that 100-year supply projection was based on existing consumption rates. It ignores the possibility of rising consumption rates. It is unlikely that all the natural gas will be extractable. Assuming 75 percent can be economically recovered with increasing rates of consumption, the supply may only last fewer than 30 years.
If all 16 pending requests to build Liquid Natural Gas facilities are approved by the Department of Energy, the export demand could reach 30 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. If shipments reach that level, Martenson estimates natural gas supplies would only last 19 years.
Martenson believes we should retain all our natural gas supplies for U.S. use and use them to build a resilient energy infrastructure. A promising approach involves energy efficiency, increased use of renewable energy and a reduction in fossil fuel use.
Reducing the consumption of fossil fuels is sought as a means to limit the rise in carbon dioxide emissions so global temperature increases stay below a 2 degrees Celsius rise in temperature from pre-industrial levels. With that as a goal, we can ill afford to burn the world's existing reserves of fossil fuels.
Using our natural gas to power combustion turbines and fuel cells is very efficient and would help lower carbon emissions. The units can also serve as a good backup source to level the variable output of renewable energy sources.

Our boy Adam was such a nice lad
Always polite and would never be bad
His 19th birthday came around
So we asked him what he'd like
And then fell off our chairs
When he said "I want a bike"
His first test was the CBT
And he took it on the 2nd
He passed the test quite easily
And then the big test beckoned
He promised to do so many chores
If we helped him with his dream
But now it seems those promises
Weren't quite what they seemed
He took and passed the second test
So now he's trained to ride And at this point were happy
To be standing by his side
We found for him the perfect bike
A lovely VFR
But now he does just what he likes
We think he's gone too far
Always in his leathers and sneaking out the house
When asked to do his chores he's as quiet as a mouse
But on his bike he's full of life
He's gone with a blip and a roar
But he's blowing every penny
And the bike is making him poor
We've asked him to calm down
And maybe stay in a little
But we're treated to a teenager frown
And a spray of biker spittle
Methinks he doth protest too much
Of course we understand
He's not the first teenager
To have gotten out of hand
But now he's never at home
And he's acting like a madam
All he wants to do is roam
Because it's all about Adam

Microsoft Halts Seinfeld Commercials
After two "episodes," the Jerry Seinfeld/Bill Gates commercials for Microsoft have been halted. Attempting to put a positive spin on the cancellation, Microsoft said that it had only intended to air the two spots, and that they were part of a larger ad campaign. "All along we said we were having a teaser campaign," Microsoft spokesman Frank Shaw said. "We're getting ready to start the second phase. This was the plan all along." Some critics were skeptical, especially given earlier reports that Seinfeld was being paid $10 million to appear in the spots. Writing on the tech website ZDNet, business technology columnist Adrian Kingsley-Hughes commented, "So the whole idea was to come out with two ads that featured Gates and Seinfeld, ads that were enthusiastically hated by most and then move on to phase 2? I doubt it. I can't say that these ads weren't funny, but rather than being 'ha ha funny,' they were more 'What's that funny smell?' funny." Beginning tonight (Thursday), Microsoft will roll out a new campaign with the theme "Windows. Life without walls" that reportedly will spoof the successful "I'm a Mac. I'm a PC" ads by Apple.

From Barnes & Noble
The Alexander McQueen renaissance continues, even though its short-lived subject is sadly gone. Since the 2010 suicide of the British fashion designer, more than half a dozen books about him been published and there seem no signs of depletion either in material or interest. Judith Watt's ambitious, affectionate Alexander McQueen: The Life and the Legacy justifies its existence with breathtaking fashion photography, interviews, and personal reminiscences by the friends and associates who knew him best. (Watt herself was a close personal friend of the flamboyant, yet private designer.) An incomparable vanguard artist; a keepsake worth treasuring.
