The Need for Beautiful Churches
-- and some encouraging ideas and examples
The before (above) and after (below) views of the chapel of the Sisters of Life at their motherhouse in New York show an encouraging example of what can be done to restore beauty to our churches.
by Art Lohsen
It's happening all over America. Pastors and dioceses are phoning to say that they need their post Vatican II church renovated to be more traditional, more beautiful, more Catholic.
Whether it is the sanctuary that houses a lonely presider's chair instead of a crucifix and tabernacle, or the hexagonal or circular church that has neither Catholic identity nor constitutes sacred space, it is apparent there is a new wave returning to the ancient norms of the Church.
While many parishes were well-intended in their aim to fulfill an initial interpretation of the Vatican II documents, many churches were built in a manner that destroyed centuries of understanding about the impact, meaning, and sanctity of the Mass. There is actually a keen appreciation for the importance of tradition in the documents of the Second Vatican Council. Rather than calling for the wholesale rejection of the past, Sacrosanctum Concilium calls for the careful preservation of the treasury of Church art and architecture. It calls for "noble beauty rather than sumptuous display" (SC 124). Thus the importance of true beauty as distinct from frivolous ornament is confirmed, and it is to this true beauty that priests and parishes alike are drawn.
Beauty has been marginalized as an expensive luxury, not a vital necessity. As the appreciation of beauty faded over the last five decades, the ability to achieve it has atrophied, and pastors seeking to build a church are often told that beauty is not important, cannot be achieved on a limited budget, or that a different definition of beauty is now appropriate. Much of the Church's patrimony has been lost or destroyed; however, the pool of classically minded architects and artists is small, but growing!
Blessed John Paul II, in his 1999 Letter to Artists, states that "In a certain sense, beauty is the visible form of the good, just as the good is the metaphysical condition of beauty" (§3). Thus the beauty that is perceived by Man's senses is a means of physically experiencing the goodness of God. This is the foretaste of heaven, the ability to perceive in the senses as well as the mind the ultimate perfection toward which Man constantly struggles. A church building therefore must be beautiful, or it cannot provide this direct sensory and spiritual encounter with God.
True beauty can still be achieved by those who can articulate its true nature and defend its necessity in Catholic worship. While the lack of beauty in most contemporary churches is being broadly lamented, the effort to restore beauty in the Church takes patient endurance. It is possible to bridge the modern with time-honored traditions.
Beautiful churches are not only possible, they are the most responsible way to build. Given limited funds and funds are usually limited a church should be built to last for the long term, which means it must be aesthetically timeless as well as solidly built. There are architects and art-ists who understand this, who can work within the traditions of the Church to create beautiful churches that will meet contemporary liturgical and functional needs in a transcendent and truly sacred space.
The Church is entering an exciting period of renewal in which beauty will be increasingly appreciated and achieved.
It seems that it is now time to focus on some practical solutions to help pastors, parish committees, and diocesan officials achieve this bridge between the awkward churches they have inherited and the transcendent Catholic beauty they desire. Most priests are not skilled as facility managers, and yet are faced with enormous building challenges as they become assigned as pastors of parishes. Most pastors understand what it is they need and are willing to undertake the challenge of restoring a sense of the sacred in their churches and other buildings.
But they also need professional guidance, which takes time and money both of which are usually in short supply. A classically trained architect understands the confluence of many characteristics including proportion, scale, symmetry, detail, material, and color. To that list, one must also add what Pope Benedict aptly deemed the "hermeneutic of continuity." The direct and literal connections to the traditions of the Church is what a professional architect can help achieve.
Sisters of Life Chapel
An example of what can be accomplished on a modest budget and schedule is the renovation of the chapel of the motherhouse of the Sisters of Life in New York.
They had a limited budget (based on donations), little experience in construction, and only six months until their dedication Mass! They consulted with a class- ically trained architect, established their priorities, engaged Catholic community service labor; and by re-using and re-fitting architectural and decorative elements (a patrimony from local diocesan warehouses and facilities), they achieved their goal. On February 11, 2013, six months from the start of the project, Annunciation Chapel was dedicated by Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
The total cost of construction was under $150,000. Professional fees and labor, had they not been donated, would have cost about the same as construction. So, for approximately $300,000, the sisters now have a chapel that expresses a beautiful and sacred Catholic space of noble simplicity in keeping with their community way of life.
The before and after views of this chapel show an encouraging example of what can be done with the right guidance and motivation.
The architects, artists, and tradesmen who are capable of producing beautiful churches are out there, and in most cases quite busy.
The restoration of traditional Catholic beauty in our churches has become a real and growing renaissance, and it is always a joy to see the results reach fruition!

Colorado Hiking Certificate
In this transitional season between fall hiking and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, on a week-to-week basis, it is an especially good time to have a Colorado Hiking Certificate, providing coverage under the statewide search and rescue fund. With the $1 certificate, you will have paid into the fund as if you had purchased a hunting or fishing license. It is a way for back country users who do not hunt or fish to be covered by the fund.
Certificates are sold at most sporting goods stores and other outlets for hunting and fishing licenses, but they may be easier to find in the Front Range than on the Western Slope, so it's best to buy before you start your trip. A portion of the cost also funds the Watchable Wildlife Program and non-game functions of the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
At times even the best of plans, map reading abilities and eyes on the trail are just not enough. If you need a search and rescue team, a Colorado hiking certificate may prove to be the purchase of a lifetime.[chapter/PANDP/footer.htm]

The painful search for a hangover cure
Scott Olson/Getty Images
Goose Island's India Pale Ale and Budweiser beer
For years, the medical community abstained from studying hangover cures because doctors didn't want to be seen as encouraging overindulgence of alcohol. What helped change that was grasping the severity of the problem: it's estimated that painful hangovers cost the U.S. economy $148 billion annually. Recovering revelers either call in sick or show up with headaches, nausea, decreased skills and general misery. Now, scientists are calling for more research into cures. What about tequila shots or a bottle of wine actually causes the pain of a hangover? Dehydration was blamed in the past, but that's changing.
What are your homemade hangover cures and what do actual doctors recommend?

Some startup methodologies that emphasize learning and shit have taken hold in the startup community in recent years. They suggest things like running lean, the idea that spending less money while you are learning is a good idea, and customer validation, determining whether or not you have customers for something before you actually build it. These ideas have caused more entrepreneurs to live on ramen noodles while venture capitalists fly their private jets around the world going on golf vacations. Is any additional explanation needed? Welcome to the FAT startup movement!
Today we will discuss the first tenet of the movement. In future posts, I will outline exactly what you should be doing if you want to build a massive company.
Impress your potential customers
We should all know by now that nobody gets fired for buying IBM. Because this is true, you should look at IBM for guidance on how to make your customers feel comfortable. And what do we know about IBM? They have some of the most amazing corporate campuses in the world, R&D labs with all of the latest technology, and lots and lots of employees doing important things.
You clearly need to do whatever you can to look like a big, successful, 100 year old company. Get fat fast! Hire as many employees as possible and make sure your potential clients know how many people you manage.
PRO-TIP: if you hire lots of contractors, you can make sure they only work a few hours a week, but claim them as employees in the numbers you tell your clients.
When it comes to your furniture and facilities, everything should be top notch. IKEA is for punks and Europeans. Only buy original designer pieces so you can tell your guests about how authentic your space is. Google is a huge company doing trillions in revenue each year, do you think they have IKEA egg seats and massage nap beds in their lobbies? Neither should you.
PRO-TIP: if you really want to impress, make sure you have your architect personally hand build a sculpture of themselves in your lobby. Your clients will awe at how much pull you have and immediately want to give you their money.
Your perks have to match your klout (score), so don't settle for second best. Massages during lunch hours and laundry facilities are for scrubs and companies that manufacture physical goods. THIS IS THE INTERNET! You should offer on-site broadway musicals, complete with the original casts, in between professional race car lessons from Formula 1 drivers.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

WGL Holdings, Inc., Selected as a Top Corporation in the Nation for Cultural Diversity by Black Enterprise Magazine for the 4th Consecutive Year
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WGL Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:WGL), the parent company of Washington Gas and other energy-related subsidiaries, has been named one of the 40 Best Companies for Diversity for the 4th consecutive year, according to Black Enterprise magazine. One thousand publicly traded companies and 50 leading global companies with major U.S. operations were invited to participate in the survey. The survey used four key areas: suppliers, senior management, workforce and corporate board diversity as measurements of each company's diversity practices.
"As the company moves forward, we will continue our dedication to diversity through enhanced internal initiatives and increased outreach to the community we serve."
WGL Holdings has the distinction of being one of only two companies surveyed that demonstrated significant strengths in all four criteria for diversity measurement.
"We are thrilled that Black Enterprise magazine has recognized WGL Holdings for its commitment to cultivating a diverse workforce for the fourth year in a row," said William Zeigler, Jr., Vice President of Human Resources for Washington Gas. "As the company moves forward, we will continue our dedication to diversity through enhanced internal initiatives and increased outreach to the community we serve."
The complete list of the 40 Best Companies for Diversity is scheduled for publication in the July 2010 issue of Black Enterprise magazine.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., WGL Holdings has three operating segments: (i) the regulated utility segment which primarily consists of Washington Gas, a natural gas utility that serves over one million customers throughout metropolitan Washington, D.C., and the surrounding region; (ii) the retail-energy marketing segment which consists of Washington Gas Energy Services, Inc., a third-party marketer that competitively sells natural gas and electricity and (iii) the design-build energy systems segment, which consists of Washington Gas Energy Systems, Inc., a provider of design-build energy efficiency solutions to government and commercial clients. Additional information about WGL Holdings is available on our Web site, www.wglholdings.com.

By Chris Gill. Conservation, Issue 198, January 2009Published online: 14 January 2009
BEIJING. The lavish private bedrooms and theatre of Emperor Qianlong (a Qing Dynasty emperor from 1735 to 1796) have been restored to their former glory in China's Palace Museum in Beijing, more popularly known as the Forbidden City.
This is phase one of a major restoration project by the World Monuments Fund (WMF) in partnership with the Palace Museum, scheduled for completion in 2018. Twenty-eight buildings are being restored, a total of 6,400 sq. m that make up the Qianlong Gardens (officially titled Ningshougong, "the Palace of Tranquil Longevity").The Emperor's personal rooms—the Juanqinzhai, literally "the studio of exhaustion from diligent service"—form part of the Qianlong Gardens, which were originally planned as a miniature complex within the Forbidden City for use during the Emperor's planned retirement. The rooms were built between 1771 and 1776, when Emperor Qianlong was in his 30s.The sumptuous restored theatre was accessed by the Emperor via a secret door embedded in a mirror in his bedroom. The theatre's walls are decorated with intricate hand-painted murals that transport the viewer into a Chinese garden, with a small stage for performers. Jian Lun Yi, country representative for the WMF and a project manager for Tsinghua University's Cultural Heritage Conservation Centre, told The Art Newspaper that a total of $15m has been earmarked for the restoration of the Qianlong Gardens, with $3.3m apportioned to the Juanqinzhai. The complex restoration work of the "nanmu" (the now extinct "southern wood" loved by emperors) and the large murals—painted with traditional Chinese pigment paints—mainly involved craft techniques from southern China, working with bamboo used in intricate thread marquetry, embroidery and hand-printed wallpaper. The artefacts, wallpaper and murals have remained relatively untouched since Emperor Qianlong's reign. Ms Jian said that the rooms had been used for storage until recently. They were originally floor heated, and the restorers have installed modern temperature control apparatus to keep them at an ideal temperature and humidity for preservation.Several calligraphic works hand painted by the Emperor, well known for his wit and love of the arts, have also been restored and hung. The Emperor's bed has retained the skeleton of a bat found by the restorers in a compartment (dead bats were considered auspicious, according to Ms Jian).The key piece of the restoration is a large trompe l'oeil-style painting in the theatre, sometimes accredited to Giuseppe Castiglione, a Jesuit painter living in China. Yang Zehau, who led the restoration of the painting, told The Art Newspaper that the crane in the painting was likely to be by Castiglione, and the scenery by other painters. He suggested that the bamboo lattices were added to the painting at a later date. The 170 sq. m work suffered from water damage, mould, abrasion and other issues. "We used dough to clean the painting," said Mr Yang. His team of eight restorers, including a WMF expert, worked for seven years on the piece. "We spent about one month per panel. We couldn't use traditional restoration methods for Chinese paintings, so we had to spend a lot of time thinking about how to do it."Juanqinzhai will be open to the public on a limited basis. Ms Jian said that discussions are still underway as to the details of the arrangements.

text: 5 Dead & GoneAisforApple | 30/09/2009 | See all AisforApple's reviews (3)The latest and arguably the darkest of the Sookie Stackhouse series, this book concentrates on Sookie's ancestry and her blood relations the Fae (Fairies to you and me) but do not let that fool you these faires are definately nothing like Tinkerbell!, murderous, sadistic and bloodthirsty which isn't good when it is directed against Sookie, basically they want her dead, the story opens with a crucifiction and ends with a bloody battle, there is an interesting side story of the Were's and Shifters going public which intertwines nicely with the main story. As always it is well written and compelling, There are numerous deaths including a couple of familiar characters and the relationship between Eric and Sookie takes another twist. These books just keep getting better and better, can't wait for the next to be released!!

Northern Pass money dividing North Country opinions
Meanwhile, a conservation group has obtained yet another large land easement to block them.
Renewable Properties, the land acquisition subsidiary created by Northeast Utilities, closed on two major deals at the end of April, according to tax stamps filed recently with the Registry of Deeds in Coos County.
Northern Pass now owns 20 acres in Stewartstown near the Clarksville town line, purchased for $4 million from William and Pauline Weir of Colebrook, where they own and operate the Weir Tree Farm.
Another 153 acres, also located in Stewartstown, was sold for $4.25 million by Peter and Hilda Weiner.
The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests recently closed a conservation easement on 295 acres in Columbia, owned by the Lewis family. The land is just south of the Balsams Wilderness Resort and abuts a parcel acquired by Northern Pass.
"The Lewis conservation easement prohibits Northern Pass - or any other proposed elective transmission line - from completing a route from the Canadian border in Pittsburg to Dixville and Millsfield to the east," said forest society spokesman Jack Savage. "The Forest Society has also blocked the primary intended route of Northern Pass through Stewartstown."
The competing real estate maneuvers are part of a ongoing duel between Northern Pass and the forest society, which has calculated the proposed route based on land purchases and has obtained easements or ownership rights at key blocking locations.
In January, Northern Pass closed on 319 acres for $5 million from the Roger Sylvestre family in Clarksville, while the Forest Society signed options that would enable conservation easements on two parcels totaling 364 acres along Bear Rock Road owned by Brad and Daryl Thompson.
According to the Northeast Utility's annual report for 2012, the company has spent $35.4 million on land acquisition for the project since 2010.
"We knew about these recent sales," said Savage. "We knew they were coming. We have strong relationships with people up north who let us know when things are happening."
Spokesmen for Northeast Utilities and its New Hampshire subsidiary, PSNH, have consistently declined to comment on land acquisitions, citing the privacy of the sellers.
Savage said the recent purchases by Northern Pass are contiguous to the anticipated route the company is trying to build, but do not address its fundamental problems of crossing the Connecticut River along Route 3 at the Canadian border, or clearing a narrow passage through conservation land in Stewartstown near the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters and Coleman State Park areas.
In order to complete the route as it appears to be unfolding, Northern Pass would have to get state easements to cross Route 3, perhaps underground, as well as easements through the conservation land.
While a Route 3 easement is possible, Savage said any attempt to cross land in the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters would face a tough legal challenge.
"From our standpoint, penetrating that easement is illegal regardless of who may be in the governor's chair or the commissioner of DRED (Department of Resources and Economic Development)," he said.
The land sales over the past year have created tensions in the previously close-knit, somewhat remote areas along the Canadian border, as families who sell have been under fire from those who oppose the project.
In a signed editorial on May 3, Charles J. Jordan, editor of the weekly Colebrook Chronicle, called out his neighbors.
"Those overnight millionaires among us must feel like they just won the Megabucks," he wrote.
"Just in case NP ultimately succeeds, we have a suggestion: let's plan to put large tourist information plaques along all the scenic highways that will be scarred by these wires and towers with the words inscribed: "This View Is Brought To You By Northern Pass And The Following Individuals Who Sold Their Property To Help Make It Possible." Maybe our new overnight millionaires would help pay for the signs."
That triggered a letter from William Weir to be published on Friday. "I did not want to sell and neither did my family," he wrote. "We turned down three substantial offers, but when the fourth was offered, we had a family vote and we decided to take the offer."

I hav been stressing out big time and im due this week, but it hasnt come so i was wondering how long does stress delay you period for?
Hi . Im 17 and im 4 days late im so scared I have been stressed to the max and im trying to calm down . How long will it take for it to be back to normal I just need some enlightment .January 6, 2013 - 12:18pm
Hello Anonymous,
It is not unusual for monthly menstrual cycles to be irregular in the early years of menstruation. If you have been menstruating for only a few years, your body may still be getting used to the monthly fluctuation in the hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. High stress will negatively impact your cycle, causing late or missed periods. Try ways to relax, be it meditation or listening to music. If you are not sexually active, there is no concern of pregnancy.
MaryannJanuary 8, 2013 - 6:32pm
Hello maryann,
Thank you for your help! Also as soon as i stop stressing does that mean a week later i might have my period cos im due? Or have i stressed myself out to the max that i have might of missed this months period.
Hello Chloe_ georgiaa,
Depending on how stressed you are, you can delay your period for months.
You need to find ways to control your stress levels. Managing your stress in healty ways can help your menstrual cycle return to normal.

MicroEnviMet Meeting
The next MEM meeting will be held at the Biomedicum Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland on October 6-8, 2011
Understanding and fighting metastasis. Micro-Environment and Metastasis
The MICROENVIMET project proposes innovative approaches for building a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between
cells and their microenvironment both at primary and secondary sites. The objectives are to identify molecular pathways involved in the regulation of metastatic dissemination to lung, liver, lymph node and bone. To achieve these objectives, the original experimental approach proposed is to modulate the production/activity of
or their inhibitors. Proteases are now recognized as key regulators of a complex network of interacting molecules that modulate the properties of cancer cells and their microenvironment. The project is intended to identify key molecular pathways underlying early steps of metastatic dissemination by interfering with the protease network and studying the impact of such experimentally manipulated microenvironment on metastasis formation. In addition to identifying key regulators of metastasis, we aim at developing blocking antibodies towards these new candidates, with efficacy for therapeutic intervention, by using the most advanced state-of-the-art technologies. The study of cancer stem cells will be integrated into current concepts that consider and attempt to explain the importance of the microenvironment during cancer progression. The 9 academic participants will combine expertise in genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, in vivo imaging, transgenic mice, mouse models of metastasis, genetic manipulation of transplantable
cells, computerized image analysis, virus-mediated gene transfer, phage display and production of neutralizing antibodies. This consortium will facilitate shared access to a new
platform, innovative technologies, human tumor tissue banks, in vivo and in vitro models mimicking different steps of metastatic dissemination, as well as know how in tumor-host cell interplay, angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, cancer stem cell biology and generation of database.

Facebook reveals secrets you haven't shared
The increasing amount of personal information that can been gleaned by computer programs that track how people use Facebook has been revealed by an extensive academic study.
Such programmes can discern undisclosed private information such as Facebook users' sexuality, drug-use habits and even whether their parents separated when they were young, according to the study by Cambridge university academics.
In one of the biggest studies of its kind, scientists from the university's psychometrics team and a Microsoft-funded research centre analysed data from 58,000 Facebook users to predict traits and other information that were not provided in their profiles.
The algorithms were 88 per cent accurate in predicting male sexual orientation, 95 per cent for race and 80 per cent for religion and political leanings. Personality types and emotional stability were also predicted with accuracy ranging from 62-75 per cent.
Facebook declined to comment.

Esquire's 2010 List of Best New Restaurants
Esquire bestowed its annual restaurant honors, including restaurant of the year and chef of the year, to the most deserving eateries. Find out which ones made the list.
Check out more of Esquire's restaurant picks: best places for breakfast in the U.S. and the best steaks in the U.S.
By John Mariani
For nearly three decades, this list has reflected the best of American dining. The criteria haven't changed the food and the singularity of the chef's vision, of course, are paramount, but also the attentiveness of the servers, the beauty of the surroundings, the shininess of the forks, the warmth of the hostess, the generosity of the cocktails. This year, however, the first thing we looked at was the people in the seats. In 2010, the most important person in any restaurant at any given moment was not the chef celebrity or not but the customer. In every city, we were reminded that while the quality of the stemware and the richness of the bordelaise are important, restaurants are still, first and foremost, places where humans gather and talk and laugh. People ate out again and they weren't jonesing to spend money on caviar. They were looking for fun. Communal tables ruled. Formal tablecloths continued their disappearance. Chefs created homey day-of-the-week dinners, replicating supper at Grandma's. And the good restaurants, in turn, filled up. Here we pick twenty that are, for our money right now, the best.

Inhofe Previews Obama State of the Union: President Should Address the Flood of Regulations Coming From EPA - They Threaten Jobs and Job Creation
January 25, 2011
Posted by Matt Dempsey firstname.lastname@example.com
As prepared for delivery
Hello, I am Senator Jim Inhofe, Republican Senator from Oklahoma.
Tonight, the President will be delivering his State of the Union Address, and he will speak about bringing the nation together. I applaud him for this effort. This is an important message, especially in the wake of the tragedy in Tucson. We continue to pray for the victims, and for the full and speedy recovery of Gabrielle Giffords.
The President will also focus on jobs, and various approaches to get Americans back to work. I hope the President addresses the flood of regulations coming from EPA - put simply, they threaten jobs and job creation.
The President could find common ground with Republicans if he pledges to bring those rules back into balance. Right now, they pose a dangerous threat to the competitiveness of manufacturers and small businesses, particularly in America's Heartland.
In just two years, the Obama Administration has put every institution that has made America great under attack: the military, health care, agriculture, the financial sector - all are feeling the brunt of the Administration's liberal agenda.
I will say here very clearly: if the President doesn't heed calls for change in his regulatory policies, then Congress will have to change them.
We will start with EPA's backdoor attempt to impose cap-and-trade taxes on consumers and employers. The President failed to pass this agenda in Congress - too many members understood its destructive costs and negligible benefits. Now he's using the EPA and the Clean Air Act to make it happen.
Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) once referred to EPA's global warming agenda as "a glorious mess." He was right. EPA regulation could cover 260,000 office buildings, 150,000 warehouses, 92,000 health-care facilities, 71,000 hotels and motels, 51,000 food-service facilities, 37,000 churches, and 17,000 farms. And what is the result? By EPA's estimates, global mean temperature would drop about one-hundredth of a degree by 2100.
The cost-benefit analysis here is fairly straightforward. And so is the answer to this glorious mess: repeal it.
By joining with Congress, the President would send a strong message to job creators that America is open for business again.
Of course global warming regulation is just the beginning. Beyond greenhouse gases, EPA is developing rules affecting manufacturing facilities, power plants, refineries, and cement kilns. These rules are admirable in their intent: to reduce harmful pollution. Yet despite EPA's assurance, EPA's solution is wildly out of balance, posing unacceptable costs with questionable benefits.
Let me give you an example: the so-called Boiler MACT rule, which covers thousands of industrial boilers across the country. The respected consulting firm IHS-Global Insight estimates that the rule puts up to 800,000 jobs at risk. The United Steel Workers says the proposal will "imperil the operating status of many industrial plants," putting "tens of thousands of jobs" at risk.
In fact, this rule is so badly written that 23 Republicans and 18 Democrats in the Senate wrote to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to voice their opposition. In the House, 106 members, including 45 Democrats, sent a similar letter.
EPA is also preparing the Utility MACT, covering power plants. Coal-fired power plants, and the thousands of people they employ, are especially at risk. According to a consultant to the United Mine Workers, 16 coal-fired plants in West Virginia, 38 in Ohio, 32 in Michigan, 24 in Indiana, 21 in Pennsylvania, and 21 in Wisconsin are, in his view, "at risk" of shutting down because of Utility MACT and other EPA rules.
Speaking of shutting down, EPA could soon require ozone levels that, in some areas, are lower than what occur naturally in the ambient air. EPA is relying on science that is nearly 6 years old, and appears to be ignoring recent studies undermining its position. If EPA continues on its current course, nearly 600 counties across the nation could be in "non-attainment."
In plain English, that means communities struggling to grow their economies will face new regulations, loss of industry and economic development, plant closures, and increased fuel and energy costs. If you don't believe me, ask Unions for Jobs and the Environment, an organization of 12 national and international labor unions, including the United Mine Workers, the Teamsters, and the Sheet Metal Workers. They say EPA's ozone rule will "lead to significant job losses across the country during a period of high unemployment."
The list of rules is long, so I won't delve into every one of them now. But the point here is simple. The President has an opportunity to follow through on his recent Executive Order covering regulations. Is he really serious about, as he wrote recently, "striking the right balance"? If he is, he should start with EPA, and work with Republicans to rein in an agency that poses serious harm to America's manufacturing base-and the hundreds of thousands of jobs it supports.
In the meantime, I will be working with my colleagues in the House to investigate these rules, to expose their impacts on jobs, energy prices, competitiveness, small businesses, and energy security. I also will examine whether EPA's assertions about public health and environmental benefits are credible.
It's time to get America back to work. The path forward must include restoring balance in the regulatory process. We will hold the President accountable in the coming months. We will see whether he's serious about jobs and enhancing American competitiveness. If left to its own devices, EPA will undermine both.
Thank you.

The present registry comprises all candidates nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature since this Prize was instituted in 1901, with one important limitation, i.e. only material older than 50 years is included, as stipulated by the statutes of the Nobel Foundation. Currently, data until 1950 is included.
The database contains information recorded in the registry. If further information is desired, e.g. original documents and evaluations, a written application may be submitted to the Swedish Academy, Box 2118, SE-103 13 Stockholm. The application must include a description and reason for the intended study.
Nominator: The person who submitted
the nomination.
Nominee: The person who is nominated. A maximum of three per nomination.
Evaluator: A person at the Prize Awarder who evaluated the nomination.
1. All entries use the Latin alphabet, and wherever possible, the English language. Names of affiliations have been translated to English; where translation may cause confusion, the original name is given first followed by an English translation within parentheses. Non-English vowels in the names of nominees and nominators have generally been included; non-English consonants other than "ñ" have generally not been included.
2. The search function is not case sensitive.
3. For Laureates, this registry uses the spelling of names as decided by the Nobel Committee.
4. Abbreviations are not punctuated. For example, the registry will show St Louis and Washington, DC.
5. The Nobel Prize for certain years was awarded at a later date. In these cases, the year to which the award applies is listed in the field for "Received prize" for the nominee.
6. Occasionally, nominations are declared invalid by the Nobel Committee. This may be because they were received after the deadline, were submitted by ineligible nominators, or due to a number of other reasons. These are not included in the database.
7. Sometimes there are many nominators behind one nomination. In these cases only the first nominator is searchable in the database. The other nominators, if known, are mentioned in the "comments" field.
A detailed description of the information to be found under each heading (field) in the entry form is provided below, with the fields listed in the order that they appear on the entry form.
Year: Indicates the year when the Nobel Committee declared the nomination valid.
Number: This is a registration number assigned to each nomination. Use it for reference in case you have any questions.
Nominee: Up to three candidates may be listed per entry.
Name: The name of the nominated candidate.
Gender: Gender of the candidate. "M" denotes male, "F" denotes female.
Year, birth: Year of birth.
Year, death: Year of death.
Profession: Profession of the candidate.
Affiliation: Academic institution or company/organization of employment of the candidate at the time of nomination, if applicable.
City: The city in which the candidate works or resides. English/international names have been used for cities. The city name in use at the time of the nomination has been used in the first instance.
Country: Two letter codes have been used, according to the ISO 3166-1 standard. See the "list of countries" for a list of all countries present in the database. Additionally, for the United States and Canada, two letter codes have been used to indicate state or province. For cities where borders have changed, the country at the time of the nomination is listed.
*The abbreviations CZ and YU have been used for all regions of former Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia respectively, regardless of the year of nomination.
Received prize: If the candidate has been awarded a Nobel Prize in any category, this is indicated here with the abbreviation for the category and the year the prize was received.
Motivation: The motivation, as presented by the nominator, for the nominee to receive the Nobel Prize.
Nominator: Details for one nominator are listed per entry.
Information for the nominator follows the same guidelines as for the nominee(s), with the following exceptions:
a) dates of birth/death are not provided,
b) if the nominator has received a Nobel Prize, the category and year are given in the "Profession" or "Comments" fields.
Sometimes there are several nominators behind one nomination. In these cases, only the first nominator is searchable in the database. The other nominators are mentioned in the "comments" field if known.
The simple search is performed for names of nominators and nominees, and the year.
To search for all nominations made in 1901, type "1901" in the search field and press "GO". To search for all nominations of Smith and all nominations made by Smith, type "Smith" in the search field and press "GO".
If you type more than one word, only nominations matching all words will be shown.
The advanced search allows you to specify the search in more detail.
You can search for three terms at the same time. For each term, specify if it is the field for the name, gender or country for the nominee or the name, gender or country for the nominator you want to search for. Please note that depending on the field you choose, your search term must fit this field, i.e. if you search for a country, use the two-letter code, if you search for a gender, use either M or F. For information about each field, see above.
For each term you can specify the logical operators "contains", "is" or "is not". "Contains" means that your term must be present in the field. "Is" means that the field must be exactly what you write in the search term. "Is not" means that the search term must not be present.
You can specify one or several words in each term. If you choose "contains" the logical operand "and" is used for the words in the field. If you choose "is" or "is not", the words are treated as a complete search term.
Between each term you can specify the logical operators "or" or "and".
To restrict the search to nominations between 1920 and 1930, you can specify "Begin at 1920. End at 1930".
You may order the result according to the year of the nomination, nominator's last name and first nominee's last name.

Emirates strikes five-year F1 deal
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 05 February 2013 10:30AM
Emirates Airlines is making a return to Formula 1 after striking a five-year deal to become the global partner of the sport.
Emirates last had a presence in F1 in 2006, when it sponsored the McLaren racing team, but this lasted just a year.
The latest deal was thrashed out by Emirates chairman Sheikh bin Saeed al-Maktoum and F1 commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone. One report said the deal was worth around $200m (£127m).
The agreement, announced today, means that Emirates will have a branding presence at 15 races of the 2013 season.
Branding will be displayed on circuit bridges, ground signs and in the F1 paddock.
Sheikh bin Saeed al-Maktoum said: "This is an exciting global opportunity to align two world-leading brands. The ambition, cutting-edge technological standards and worldwide reach of Formula 1 go hand in hand with Emirates' vision and ambition."
Emirates already has a presence in rugby, tennis and football, including shirt sponsorships of AC Milan, Arsenal and Paris-Saint Germain football clubs.
Gulf states have invested significant funds in F1, primarily by investing funds into the construction of circuits to stage Grand Prix in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi.
Ecclestone said: "Emirates has a first class international reputation and I'm very pleased to welcome such a prestigious company as a global partner of Formula 1."Follow @johnreynolds10
