Ray Nothstine's Acton commentary on the the ethanol boom and its impact on the poor was published today in the Christian Science Monitor as, "The unintended consequences of the ethanol quick fix." His timely article was also picked up by a slew of other newspapers and Web sites, including the Bakersfield Californian, the Fresno Bee and the Atlantic City Press.
Over at the Becker-Posner blog, the gentlemen consider the question, "Do National Security and Environmental Energy Policies Conflict?" (a topic also discussed here.)
Becker predicts, "Driven by environmental and security concerns, more extensive government intervention in the supply and demand for energy are to be expected during the next few years in all economically important countries. Policies that meet both these concerns are feasible, and clearly would have greater political support than the many approaches that advance one of these goals at the expense of the other."
Posner observes the difference between a gasoline and a carbon tax, noting that the former would "have a direct effect in reducing demand for oil, thus reducing, as Becker points out, the oil revenues of oil-producing nations."
But for a policy that addresses both national security and environmental concerns, "a gasoline tax would be inferior to a carbon tax from the standpoint of limiting global warming, because producers of oil, refiners of gasoline, and producers of cars and other products that burn fossil fuels would have no incentive to adopt processes that would reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions per barrel of oil, gallon of gasoline, etc. A carbon tax would create such an incentive and would also have a strong indirect negative effect on the demand for fossil fuels."
There's a lot more to these posts worth mulling over.
"If a man will not work, he shall not eat." That's a good rule, I think.
The Care of Creation blog is noting, however, that "people who work longer hours use more energy and generally contribute more to the decline of the ecological quality of life on planet earth."
The basis for the claim is a report that comes from the Center for Economic and Policy Research, and "finds that if all countries worked as many hours per week as U.S. workers do, the world would consume 15 to 30 percent more energy by 2050 than it would by following Europe's model."
As I've asserted before, calculations that simply take into account the outputs of various environmentally-relevant factors, like GHGs, without also noting the relevant economic variables, are highly flawed.
So perhaps per capita American workers do work longer hours and therefore use more energy than their European counterparts. But do the American workers also contribute more to their respective country's GNP than do Europeans? I'm betting they do…and it shouldn't be surprising that all these factors correlate, because of the energy-dependent nature of the economy in the 21st century. But as recent trends suggest, perhaps even that doesn't mean that economies must increase GHG emissions to grow.
Who gets more bang for their energy buck? The EU's share of gross world product (GWP) is roughly 20%. Estimates put the EU's population right around 490 million. The US's share of GWP is larger than the EU's, somewhere between 20% and 30%, but accomplishes that with a fraction of the population, numbering barely above 300 million.
So, work less and "save" the planet, but also contribute less to the global economy. That's a formula for disaster.
For another take on how you can do nothing and save the planet, see the May 21 edition of the Joy of Tech comic.
One more note related to the week's reflections on energy and the environment. This brief piece from Marketplace highlights coal's newfound popularity, "Coal makes a comeback" (here's an in-depth and more technical piece from the NYT. HT: Instapundit).
Marketplace reporter Jeremy Hobson notes the need for coal to be integrated into an energy policy oriented toward independence: "The U.S. has more coal than any other country. $27 billion worth is mined every year. That's why everyone, from unions to politicians to scientists, is getting on the coal bandwagon."
Some scientists are arguing that the negative environmental impact of coal-burning power plants can be significantly mitigated by the advent of new cleaning technologies, presumably including the use of "scrubbers" which divert CO2 emissions from smoke stacks.
Many of these technologies, such as scrubbers, are focused on limiting the input of GHGs into the atmosphere. But there is a shift that is beginning to focus much more on sequestration and removal of GHGs. That is, there are two elements to consider: how much CO2 or other GHGs are put into the atmosphere and how quickly they are taken out, through both natural and artificial means.
Robert O. Mendelsohn, of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, made this point in his comments at the Copenhagen Consensus of 2004. He writes, "Although the bulk of carbon emissions in the future come from burning fossil fuels, policy makers should consider more than just energy policies to reduce carbon emissions. Another important policy option is to include carbon sequestration in forests. By growing timber trees longer and by setting aside vast tracts of marginal forestland for conservation, land use policies can sequester a large stock of carbon in living forests."
Well-planned and properly planned reforestation is indeed an important part of that second element by sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere. But new technologies like carbon capture devices also will be an important feature of any attempts to manage the climate.
According to reports published last week (HT: Slashdot), Global Research Technologies, LLC (GRT) has announced the first successful "demonstration of a bold new technology to capture carbon from the air. The 'air extraction' prototype has successfully demonstrated that indeed carbon dioxide (CO2) can be captured from the atmosphere. This is GRT's first step toward a commercially viable air capture device."
It's an encouraging step to see that the media and politicians, but most especially commercial businesses, are beginning to pay attention to the possibilities for sequestration and GHG removal and not just focusing on consumption and emissions. There's definitely going to be a commercial demand for carbon capture devices. Maybe someday we'll all wear some sort of mask that mitigates the .3 tons per year of CO2 that a human being emits just by breathing.
John Stossel must have been on vacation last week.
I caught part of the 20/20 special offering for Earth Day on Friday night. Among the reports was one by Jay Schadler focusing on solar power as an alternative source of energy.
Schadler pointed out that even though the United States has only 5% of the world's population, we consume 25% of the world's energy. It's a typical canard trotted out by those who want to depict us ugly Americans as "energy hogs."
But instead of taking a deeper look at these kinds of statistics, the stats usually appear at the intro of a news piece as a hook leading into some other point about alternative energy.
But let's take a brief look at the implications of such statistics. Let's even accept them at face value. What such conclusions about the wastefulness per capita of American energy consumption overlook is the inherent connection between economic productivity and energy usage.
Yes, let's say America's share of worldwide energy usage is 25%.
But what is America's share of the global economy? Somewhere between one-fifth and one-third of gross world product. So just maybe there is in fact a link between economic output and energy consumption.
Another aspect of this relationship appears when you run a historical series comparing per capita CO2 emissions and income growth on Google's Gapminder software.
"The environment is begging for the Wal-Mart business model," says H. Lee Scott Jr., CEO of Wal-Mart Stores in a NYT article, "Power-Sipping Bulbs Get Backing From Wal-Mart."
The piece discusses Wal-Mart's campaign to increase the sales of compact fluorescent bulbs, as compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. As Michael Barbaro writes, "A compact fluorescent has clear advantages over the widely used incandescent light — it uses 75 percent less electricity, lasts 10 times longer, produces 450 pounds fewer greenhouse gases from power plants and saves consumers $30 over the life of each bulb. But it is eight times as expensive as a traditional bulb, gives off a harsher light and has a peculiar appearance."
I've converted probably half of the bulbs in my home to CFLs (compact fluorescent lights), but have run into problems when trying to use them in some places. Lights that use dimmer switches, for instance, don't work well with CFLs. And some CFLs won't fit into light fixtures designed to accommodate incandescent bulbs.
Wal-Mart's clout has begun to affect the light bulb manufacturing business, as producers like GE struggle to change their emphasis from production of incandescents to CFLs.
And on the demand side, what's called for in convincing consumers to go with the CFLs is a basic economic lesson: you are sometimes better off spending more in the short-term for long-term gain: "Wal-Mart will have to persuade its traditional consumers that it is worth paying a bit more at the checkout counter to save a significant amount money down the line, a seemingly simple task that few companies ever accomplish. It is particularly difficult at a retailer that has long emphasized 'always low prices.'"
As is so often the case, the best economic decision is the one that makes best use of both financial and environmental resources.
Update: This story is getting major attention across the blogosphere and MSM, including a NYT editorial here, and posts here and here.
A debate about the future of energy policy is being held over at sp!ked, sponsored by Research Councils UK. From their notice:
Expanding supply or managing demand?
In the opening articles, five commentators address the question from different viewpoints.
ADAM VAUGHAN, online editor, New Consumer magazine argues that saving energy is the way forward: 'By taking a number of simple steps, consumers can save energy and money – and help save the planet.'
JOE KAPLINSKY, science writer, spiked, believes that we need to greatly expand energy supply: 'The best thing that we could do for future generations is to build a new energy infrastructure, bigger and better than the old one.'
MALCOLM GRIMSTON, associate fellow at Chatham House, argues that we need to embrace nuclear power: 'Nuclear energy remains the only proven large-scale option that can deliver major saving in greenhouse gas emissions.'
MARK JACCARD, professor of resource and environmental management at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver believes that fossil fuels, particularly coal, remain central to energy supply: 'Zero-emission fossil fuels will remain cost competitive for at least a century.'
JIM SKEA, research director, UK Energy Research Centre argues that renewables are not a panacea to all our energy problems, but 'A variety of renewable technologies may play an important part in energy generation in the future.'
spiked is keen to find out what readers think, and you can respond to the debate here.
I would also briefly mention that you can read a related article by me here, and that in general I think the options posed in the debates subtitle (reduction of use or expansion of supply) is similar to the options posed by the problem greenhouse gas emissions (reduction of emissions or increase of sequestration).
Most of the policy recommendations I've seen regarding CO2 emissions have focused on reduction of emissions rather than an increases in the rate and amount of carbon sequestration (in forests and so on). There's a lot of work to be done on that latter point, especially if largescale reduction of emissions is untenable both politically and economically for the foreseeable future.
In the midst of rising oil prices, massive energy bills, speculation about our supplies of oil – not to mention global warming – a small beacon lights up in Ireland. A technology company named Steorn has made an announcement that it has discovered free energy. I'll admit, like most others probably will at this point, that I'm a little skeptical, but Steorn says that it has created "test-rigs" that use only magnetic fields (with no electromagnetic components) to create energy out of nothing. This, of course, breaks the first law of thermodynamics, and if this does turn out to be true, many hours that I spent studying physics will have turned out to be a waste of time, as one of the main premises of those hours was that the first law holds. (On the other hand, I can justify now why some of it didn't make much sense to me.)
The company is proposing a panel of 12 skeptic phsyicists to test their rigs, to study the mathematics and physics, and tell the world whether or not the technology is actually real, or not. If it does turn out to be real, the technology is apparently scaleable, which means that it could power your car, or your cell phone. Much of the energy we use from day-to-day could be generated with this new technology which would have a tremendous impact on our economy.
Hat-tip to Slashdot. For more information, read this, this, and this, or google Steorn.
"Throughout history, shortages of vital resources have driven innovation, and energy has often starred in these technological dramas. The desperate search for new sources of energy and new materials has frequently produced remarkable advances that no one could have imagined when the shortage first became evident." So says Stephen L. Sass, a professor of materials science and engineering at Cornell, in today's NYT op-ed, "Scarcity, Mother of Invention."
He concludes, "If there is anything to be learned from history, it's that we need to face the harsh reality of fossil fuel scarcity and begin something like a Manhattan project to develop clean, economical, and preferably sustainable new sources of energy. Just as importantly, we need to innovate on the side of conservation and efficiency." While there is valid dispute about just which point we are at with regard to the scarcity of fossil fuels, the larger considerations stand.
I made a similar point in my most recent Acton Commentary, "Transcendence and Obsolescence: The Responsible Stewardship of Oil," in which I argue that "human stewardship of oil and other petroleum-based fuels entails a responsibility to use the economic opportunities they afford to find and integrate other renewable, sustainable, and cleaner sources of energy, especially represented by the promise of nuclear power, into our long-term supply."
On a related note, check out this WaPo story, "Md. County Offers Incentives To Boost Nuclear Operation":
There may be growing acceptance of nuclear power, owing to concerns over global warming, dependence on foreign oil and skyrocketing energy costs. Some leading environmentalists are saying nuclear energy should at least be explored as a way to offset global climate change.
But Jim Riccio, a nuclear policy analyst with Greenpeace International, said nuclear power remains unsafe and is too dependent on government subsidies. He is keeping an eye on Calvert County developments. "No ifs, ands or buts," he said. "Until the last dog dies, Greenpeace will be anti-nuclear."
Might these be the new "Cuisinarts of the sea"? This story, "Energy from the Restless Sea," in today's NYT examines the efforts of experimental inventors to find machines that excel in "harnessing the perpetual motion of the ocean and turning it into a commodity in high demand: energy." There are a variety of designs and types of machines, so of course not all of them are a danger to chop up hapless fish.
These innovators are facing huge bureaucratic and regulatory burdens. Verdant Power, for example, "embarked on a new East River turbine project in 2003, but it has taken two and a half years to get regulatory approval for the project from environmental agencies and the United States Army Corp of Engineers."
To comply with the concerns of regulators and environmental groups, Verdant "is installing $1.5 million in underwater sonar to watch for fish around the turbines '24 hours a day, 7 days a week,' and the data will be shown online."
In some sense, these are just twenty-first century versions of innovations that are, shall we say, somewhat older. Watermills have been found at Cistercian abbeys dating from the twelfth century. See, for example, the Fountains Abbey Mill, opened in June 2001 at the Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire.

Robin Antin on Kim Kardashian: What a Mother!!!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
We already know she loves breastfeeding.
And now Robin Antin has verified: Kim Kardashian also loves cradling her child!
Yes, the Pussycat Dolls founder is one of the few non-Kardashians who has actually seen North West and she gushed over the first-hand experience in a chat with Us Weekly.
"When I walked in to see her, Kim was holding the baby," Antin said. "I said, 'Oh, my God. You're a natural.' Kim said, 'I know - it's so weird!'"
North - who will go by the name "Nori" apparently - was born five weeks early on June 15.
She only weighed in at the time at 4 pounds, 15 ounces and Kardashian therefore had to wait a week to take her home.
But all is now well at home, sources tell the tabloid, with Kim and Kanye West settled in with their little one.
"They are both so in love with their little girl," a friend tells the magazine.
Kim Kardashian Sex Tape is known to be a hard to find one.
Check it out here: Kim Kardashian Sex Tape uncensored
Robin Antin on Kim Kardashian: What a Mother!!!
The vid is HQ which makes me happy
"OMG it's so weird!! I'm a natural at holding my own child!!!".. Wow what a complete ass she is.
the nanny was on a break
aww some one wants the job of being NORI's nanny..............................
she got paid for saying these words?
as if you would'nt have done it for a little money too.but she didnt get pay for that she is just a friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!! she was actually holding the baby!! Well, that confirms it she is definitely "mother of the freakin' year!!!" How do you guys not vomit over yourselves when you're writing this drivel??!!

You might remember, way back in September when Jen (of Sewn Natural) and I launched a brooch swap? Well, the brooches I created for the swap have landed on the doorsteps of their recipients, so I can finally reveal my work...
sheppardhandmade where she sells hand spun yarns and ceramic buttons -- mostly ceramic buttons. You must see her buttons! They drive me a little bit crazy, they are so sweet, and in the most delicate of colors and tones. The brooches pictured above were loosely inspired by some of her buttons; soft tones, circular and symmetrical.
As I stitched, I imagined what might happen were I to inhale the aroma of one of these mysterious blossoms. Would I perhaps fall into a swoon, to awaken surrounded by lush jungle beneath the gaze of seven enchanted tigers? If I pricked my finger on a thorn, would I turn into a little green lizard? If my tears should fall upon the roots, would the plant magically transform into a fat, pink baby -- the abducted prince from the lost kingdom of Gondal, so well hidden that no one has been able to find him for a year and a day?
And are you, my dear friends, now wondering what I have added to my coffee this morning? Nothing but almond milk, I assure you (plus a good serving of rampant imagination on the side...) Also, before you give me too much credit for dreaming up these botanical designs all on my own, please know that some of my design ideas were blatantly purloined from here.
Come back soon for a brooch swap wrap-up, where I will be posting photos of brooches made by several other participants!

At least for HD DVD fans, the Dirty Harry set will bow on both formats.
Save your money for a raining days. Why paying too much money for an old HD movies?
Studios keep making money over and over and over many times on a same song or movie.
There is a new sucker borns every day.
Carlos, do you have any media for any movie you have seen in a theater? If so, then you are just the same sucker as the rest of us. I am not trying to insult you, but point out that if a person has ever bought a movie or TV show or concert then that person liked it enough to want to see it again (and maybe again and again) and to 'own' it.
Obviously this is a massively popular situation that has transcened about a dozen mediums from Wax cyclinders to High Definition optical plastic and will continue into data bits with downloads.
It would be nice to buy the rights to something, and then get a 'cost only' copy of each new media - but that is not yet how it works.
Surely if I have a high line Home Theater system, I am not going to waste my time watching what I love on an old VHS tape (though I might yet still listen to it on a vinyl record!).
My time and pleasure is more valuable to me than the cost of yet a new media type. (It helps that I have the money to buy new media.)
"Why paying too much money for an old HD movies? "
Uhh—because you love the movie? I'd seen Casablanca, Blade Runner and Blazing Saddles at least 20 times each (including all of them on the big screen), but I still bought all of them on HD media as soon as they were available.
They're like any other work of art. Saying that you don't need to watch a movie after you've seen it is like saying you don't need to look at a painting again once you've seen it, or listen to a record again after you've heard a song on the radio.
North by Northwest? Awesome—I'll have to put this on pre-order.
oh the irony
'And I for one am pretty intrigued at seeing how much can be done to improve the quality of movies that are going to be 70 (!) years old.'
You can go out and get Robin Hood from 1938 on HD disk today. It's spectacular. It's on Warner too. Of course it's not a blu-ray.
It's sad to see Warner now adopting Disneys strategy of announcing movies years in advance instead of releasing now. Seems to come with the territory.
Sheesh - if Warner becomes too much like Disney, then all they willl ever release is movies where the main character dies….then miraculously…comes back to life.
Wasn't MGM behind the Wizard of Oz?
Ahhh, ok, here we go:
Back in 1986, Ted Turner tried to buy Time Warner (!), but failed due to lack of funds, and ended up with only Warner's pre-1948 and MGM's pre-1968 titles. In a subsequent and quite convoluted chain of events , Warner ended up buying Ted Turner's company, TNT. Good ol' Ted also sold home video distribution rights to these titles to MGM. So, when the Pathe deal rolled around in 1990, Warner ended up distributing pre-1948 Warner titles licensed to MGM by Ted Turner, which were now owned by Warner!
Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz. Excellent… I'll be buying those for sure.

YUM-O! empowers kids and their families to develop healthy relationships with food and cooking.
To celebrate Thanksgiving and help bring more nutritious options to the table, Rachael wrote this mashed sweet potato recipe for the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (Rach was named a Council member in 2014!) that your friends and family will love!
Serves 4-6
Share this nutritious, delicious chili with family, friends or a neighbor in need. This dollar-stretcher recipe will feed a crowd and was created by Rach to kick off the 9 Million Meals challenge!
Serves 8-10
This zesty, good-for-you recipe is perfect for a family dinner. "Pickling" the meat with citrus makes for a quicker prep time.
Serves 4
Rachael has shared her passion for teaching kids and families about food and cooking as a contributor to a newly released book, Actions Speak Loudest: Keeping Our Promise for a Better World.
Every generation makes a commitment to see its children lead better lives than they have and to leave the world a better place than they have inherited. Today's issues are combining to create the first generation of children expected to lead shorter, unhealthier and unhappier lives than their parents.
Actions Speak Loudest delves into the heart of thirty-two issues, ranging from childhood obesity to climate change, that are critical to the well-being of the next generation. With evocative, award-winning photographs; articulate and accessible essays; and attainable, ambitious ideas for action the book is designed as a clarion call to help us keep our generational promise. As a non-profit project, all of the proceeds generated by book sales are going back into the causes and organizations featured in the book.
Rachael's essay, entitled Food and Family, explores her family's legacy of building self-sufficiency and self-esteem in the kitchen and around the table, as well as her inspiration to start the Yum-o! organization.
Rachael writes, "For me, looking back at the way I was raised, our family's legacy of food centers on self-sufficiency and self-esteem. Being around people preparing food from a very young age, I became self-dependent. I developed the ability to cook when I was young, and by the age of eleven it not only helped my diet, but it gave me self-respect, which is so important to children. As an adult I felt empowered with my skills – I could take a small amount of money and buy a large amount of inexpensive food, a whole chicken, root vegetables, grains, and pastas and I could provide myself with decent meals for an entire week. When you are able to enjoy a meal every night you won't feel like a 'have not.' Your life will feel richer, whether or not there is a big roll of cash in your pocket."
She continues, "A friend told me once when you choose to give back, make it personal. Food is the way I make my living, so food should be the way I give back. I have seen firsthand how food plays an important role in our lives. I started the Yum-o! organization with these goals in mind: to end hunger for America's children; to provide a scholarship program for children who want to explore a career in the restaurant and foodservice industries; and to raise families' awareness about food and cooking – enabling them to get started in the kitchen while making meals that are easy, healthy, affordable, and delicious. We want to help parents and kids enjoy cooking together and to break down the myth that cooking is hard or confusing. We believe that parents and kids will make better food choices if given the opportunity, knowledge, confidence, and realistic options to do so. Lives are so busy today. Food choices should be easy and realistic. Parents should have the tools to cook good food for and with kids."
Actions Speak Loudest: Keeping Our Promise for a Better World is available online and at your favorite local bookstore. For more information about the project, visit the Actions Speak Loudest website.

Name:Koli Palu
Hometown:Rohnert Park, CA
Occupation: Bouncer
Favorite cheat food: Anything my Grandma makes
Goal for 2010: to weigh 200 pounds
Starting weight: 403 pounds
iVillage: What was your big turning point-either during the show or before that made you realize you needed to lose the weight?
I had known for a very long time that I needed to lose weight. I tried many diets and was always getting free week passes at different gyms. But it wasn't until I saw the makeover episode of Season 7, and saw Filipe and his wife and knew I wanted to feel just like that, to have someone special in my life. I knew the first step to achieving that was to fix myself physically and mentally.
iVillage: What is one thing you wish you had known before going on The Biggest Loser?
The one thing I wish I would have known before the show is nothing.
iVillage: Did you think it's harder or easier to be on the show with a family member as a teammate as opposed to competing by yourself?
The show would have more difficult by myself. My cousin Sam provided a great deal of support throughout the whole process.
iVillage: If you could have done one thing differently during the show, what would it be?
Nothing. Everything that I did, good or bad, has been a learning experience that I needed.
iVillage: What's the hardest thing to adapt to while living on the ranch?
There are several things that were difficult for me. First was being cut off for my family and friends and second was getting used to all the cameras always being around.
iVillage: What is one thing that keeps you motivated when you don't feel like working out or you want to eat junk food?
Remembering how I felt when I looked in the mirror and wasn't happy with way I looked or the way clothes would fit on me. Remembering the sleepless nights I had, mad at myself for being so overweight.
iVillage: What is your favorite workout?
Anything outside. Mother Nature is the best gym.
iVillage: What's the best advice Bob or Jillian has given you?
To believe and love myself.
iVillage: What is your favorite meal or snack?
Right now it would be Fage yogurt with fresh fruit and one pack of Truvia.
iVillage: What's something viewers at home wouldn't know from watching the show?
My sense of humor, I was always joking around on the show but they never showed that side of me.

Women In Technology – Past, Present, Future
This week, I delivered two keynotes to middle school and high school girls interested in tech careers.

The first one was for the Philadelphia area awards dinner for the Aspirations in Computing Award, and the second was for a wonderful event called Girls Exploring Tomorrow's Technology. I've printed my message below which addresses why everyone – both boys and girls – should consider a technology career.
I wanted to talk to you today about why I think technology is such a great field to enter. But, first, I think I need to tell you a bit about who I am and how I got here.

ESPN could not determine if the system was ever used. The report
on Monday's "Outside the Lines" says Loomis would have been able
to eavesdrop on opponents from 2002 to 2004. The report says the
system was disabled in 2005, when the Superdome was heavily damaged
by Hurricane Katrina.
Saints spokesman Greg Bensel calls the report "1000 percent
false." Bensel says the Saints and Loomis "are seeking all legal
recourse" following the report.
FBI spokeswoman Sheila Thorne says the agency's New Orleans
office is aware of the allegations, but wouldn't comment further.

Many of the players are interested in getting the free bingo money, instead of receiving the free cards. There are many UK bingo sites that are new and that can offer you exactly what you are looking for on registration.
All you need to do in order to get the free bingo money is to sign up for a brand new bingo site. There are tons of offers available and you can find mainly two different options available: the first offer is where you dont have to make a deposit, these are called no deposit bonuses and they are widely spread and popular. There is also the possibility to receive a bonus after you make your initial deposit.
The best bingo sites UK are those where you do have to make a deposit and there the bonuses are much more valuable, the sums are bigger and this allows you to have better chances to actually win a nice prize that can allow to clear the bonus and end up with more money than you have started. You do have to make a deposit and after that the money is automatically credited to your bingo account.
Its a common thing for the bingo players to continuously look for the best offers available and usually when a new bingo site is launched, the deals available are much better compared to whats already available at the existing online bingo sites. Compare some of the promotions you find to be the most intriguing and after that register for the ones that you consider to be the best.

According to Paul Bond at the Hollywood Reporter, though, 500 layoffs that had been in works for months, were never announced. Gee, I wonder why: The layoffs are part of a months-long concerted effort by parent Comcast to rein in costs by eliminating inefficiencies and duplications among staffs at various departments before year's end, an insider confirmed. But-but-but NBC News assured me the economy and job growth was improving!

On Wednesday, December 18th, I (Amanda Ariel Peggy Xeller!) got to interview Magnet's own Russ Armstrong about growth in improv, understanding the makings of a good team, and how to be a good teacher, director, and improviser. Below is the transcribed interview.
Where are you from originally?
I'm from Michigan. I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
How did you get involved in improv?
I started improvising in high school. I was watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? with my friends and started an improv group to play short form games. The Pioneer Comedy Troupe from Pioneer High School. It was my junior year of high school. We thought we were the coolest people in the world and we didn't know we were actually the lamest people in the world.
You went to Northwestern yes? Did you do improv in college? What was the improv there called.
I did. Yep. It was the Mee-ow Show. It was billed as 1/3 improv, 1/3 sketch, 1/3 rock 'n' roll. Lots of short form stuff. It was great, super fun. It was a blast.
And you studied in Chicago as well? At iO and Second City? How does the training there compare to the training you learned in NYC?
It's all the same stuff just different approaches to it. I think Chicago tends to nurture you finding your voice a little bit more. They give you a little more time, marinates in a way that Chicago does with everything, with theater and music and food. Because the spotlight isn't on it as much, there's less pressure to produce immediately. New York tends to have a little more pressure because it is New York. And it's more expensive. I think they are both awesome attributes. It's good to have that pressure. I love that about New York.
The Magnet Theater not only boasts its current roster of powerful improvisers, writers, and performers, but also celebrates those who have taken on new adventures in their lives and with their comedy.
Charlotte Rabbe, a phenomenal Magnet improviser, previously on The Wrath, is now out in L.A. We wanted to catch up with Charlotte and shine the Magnet Theater Blog Spotlight on her and her journey in comedy. We conducted an email interview with Charlotte. Below are her responses:
What's your home town?
CR: Where I grew up? Most of my family is living in NYC now so I consider that my hometown.
What is your comedy history (highlighting improv and sketch especially)? What got you interested and when were you first exposed to improv?
CR: I would watch a lot of stand up/sketch shows growing up (The State, The Upright Citizens Brigade TV show, SNL) and I was obsessed… When I started coming into the city after high school I went to a lot of stand up shows but was too afraid to ever do it. I ended up taking an improv class after college even though I had seen very little and got hooked.
On Friday, January 3rd, I got to sit down with sketch writers and performers Andy Mills and Sebastian Conelli as well as director Matt J. Weir of The Misses to gain insight into some of the Magnet's leading sketch minds. What surfaced was not just what makes this Veteran Sketch Team special, but also what makes a team click, what makes a show stand out, and what it means to have that comedy drive. Below is a transcript of the interview.
When were you formed?
Matt J. Weir (MW): The Misses were formed in September of 2013 and the first show was in October of 2013. The Misses is a collection of some of the best veteran sketch performers at The Magnet.
Andy Mills (AM): One of the interesting things about The Misses being formed is that 85% of the group is former members of the sketch team Fat Kids, which Matt also directed.
MW: Yeah I directed that for a season. Also for the season before that I co-directed it with the other Matt Weir. So our brain lust dripped down on you guys.

Heidi Dampier and her daughters board an American Eagle flight at Central Wisconsin Airport as part of a Snowball Express trip to Dallas, Texas
Each year more than 1,700 children and spouses of fallen military members spend a weekend together as part of "Snowball Express." This year the group heads to Dallas, Texas with all expenses paid by the organization and sponsorship parter American Airlines.
Heidi Dampier and her three young daughters live in Weston and have taken part in the annual trip since the death of her husband, Army Private First Class Grant Dampier, in 2006.
The girls enjoy getting to meet other kids, while Heidi appreciates the significance of the trip.
"I think it's amazing, because my kids get to see that they're not the only ones," Heidi Dampier said. "Here in Wisconsin, especially where we are, there's no other kids that they can relate to. So this way, they can relate, they see other kids and know that they're not alone"
This weekend, the families will head to Six Flags Over Texas, take part in a tree lighting and childrens parade, and enjoy a private concert from actor Gary Sinise and the Lieutenant Dan Band.

BOSTON - The debate over whether foods containing genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, should have to be labeled as such is picking up steam. This month, Connecticut became the first state to pass a GMO labeling law, and Maine quickly followed. But due to lobbying by opponents, neither law will take effect unless several other states adopt similar legislation - and Massachusetts may become one of those.
Five GMO labeling bills are pending here, and WBUR's All Things Considered host Sacha Pfeiffer discussed the issue with Ed Stockman, of the group Massachusetts Right to Know GMOs, and Louis Finkel, executive vice president for government affairs for the Grocery Manufacturers Association.
Sacha Pfeiffer: Ed, would you start by giving us some sense of how widespread genetically modified ingredients are in the foods we buy?
Ed Stockman: Well it's really difficult to know that for certain because the foods are not labeled. If they were labeled, we'd know exactly how ubiquitous they are. But there are estimates that within 70 percent of processed foods in supermarkets have some ingredients that have been genetically engineered.
And Louis, does the Grocery Manufacturers Association generally agree with that estimate of 75 percent or so?
Louis Finkel: Well, I think it's probably someplace between 70 to 80 percent. But to the question of whether or not we know how much genetically engineered ingredient is out there, the Department of Agriculture tracks how much is planted every year. And with corn, soy beans and sugar beets, the current USDA estimates are over 90 percent. So any products that contain those ingredients, which are the majority of packaged products in the grocery store, that's probably about right. Products that contain sugar, that contain soy and soy extracts and oils, that contain canola, that contain oils from cottonseed - which are primary ingredients for many products, or at least partial ingredients for many products - contain those, which are all genetically engineered.
Louis, the Grocery Manufacturers Association opposes labeling. Why is that?
Louis Finkel: Let's start with fact that this is prevalent, it's been in marketplace for 20 years, and we've seen no health impacts - that, effectively, the technology is safe. And this isn't me saying this. This is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This is the American Medical Association. This is the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This is the World Health Organization - that genetically engineered ingredients provide no material difference from their conventional counterparts and, as such, putting a label will be inherently misleading and confusing to consumers.

November 26, 2014
Gov. Mike Johanns was out first thing Sunday morning surveying the damage left by the twisters. The governor toured a 15 area from Hallam to Wilbur and Clay Center.
A resident in Hallam was killed after a tornado hit the Hallam area. After seeing the town from the view of helicopter and driving through the streets, the governor said, "You can only imagine what happened here last night. Whatever sat down here annihilated everything."
When Gov. Johanns arrived, the residents were being kept out of the town.
Pat O'Brien is part of the team double checking the whereabouts of residents. He says, "I didn't go to bed last night. I just watched the sun come up. It's pretty amazing what mother nature can do."
It was exactly 11 months ago Gov. Johanns was dealing with damage left behind by a twister that hit Deschler.
"There were parts of Deschler left unaffected. I don't think there is anything here not damaged or destroyed," says Gov. Johanns.
The governor has already called on the federal government for assistance. FEMA arrived Sunday afternoon. More than 120 houses were destroyed in the twister and five public buildings were hit.

Remember when there used to be just three major networks, with PBS being a distant fourth? It was really only about four decades ago. But now, when you look at the 200-plus channels available through Comcast XFINITY in Novi, you'd think we were on "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century." (That's an old NBC TV show reference, by the way.)
