Media Fail: New Climate Change Report Ignored
Posted by Richard Warnick in 4th Estate (Media), Climate Change, Disaster, Energy, Environment, Global Warming, National Politics, Science on November 3, 2014
NOAA's GOES-13 satellite captured this image of the massive Superstorm Sandy on October 28, 2012.
Ari Phillips on Think Progress:
[O]n Sunday, the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change released a Synthesis Report detailing the dangers of climate change. Hundreds of scientists spent the last five years preparing this final report, which says that carbon pollution must be slashed now or risk "severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems."
None of the network Sunday shows mentioned this latest report or its stark findings.
It's not just a media fail. Has any candidate in tomorrow's election mentioned climate change as a campaign issue?
Take a look at the damage from Superstorm Sandy in the before-and-after aerial imagery. This one storm two years ago impacted more than a dozen states along the eastern seaboard, causing $65 billion in damage. A major factor in the disaster was the higher sea level. Climate models predict that sea level will rise an additional two to three feet over the next century.

House GOP Could Force Government Shutdown Over EPA Carbon Rule
Posted by Richard Warnick in 2014 Elections, congress, Energy, Federal Budget, Global Warming, National Politics, Party Politics, Republicans on June 24, 2014
The Environmental Protection Agency's proposed coal regulations have angered Tea-GOP right-wingers who deny climate science.
Via The New Republic:
A standoff with Senate Democrats and the president over funding for the EPA and Interior Department could set the stage for a budget showdown, risking a partial government shutdown. Here we go again.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) said the House Appropriations Committee may include a rider to the bill that's necessary to keep the Department of Interior and EPA open after the fiscal year's end in September.
…A partial shutdown to the Interior and EPA might seem like it would cause less damage to the GOP than the full-scale shutdown of 2013. But remember that includes national parks, which was one of the most visible and unpopular consequences from last year's shutdown. And the EPA is charged with a lot besides fighting climate change, like protecting our drinking water and overseeing cleanup of toxic waste sites.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has warned the Tea-GOP not to shut down the government over climate change. But really, if they do it right before the midterm elections it might do more good than harm.
Keeling Curve At 400 ppm Again – Climate Change Denial Continues
Posted by Richard Warnick in Climate Change, Environment, Global Warming, National Politics, Science on March 18, 2014
From Climate Central:
In 1958, Charles David Keeling began making daily measurements of the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) at the Mauna Loa Observatory on the Big Island of Hawaii. These measurements were begun as part of a one-year initiative, the International Geophysical Year, but because of Keeling's persistence, the daily record has continued through the present, almost without interruption. The Mauna Loa record, now known as the Keeling Curve, continues to be collected under the direction of Keeling's son, Ralph.
Last year, atmospheric carbon dioxide briefly crossed 400 parts per million for the first time in human history. However, it didn't cross that threshold until mid-May. This year's first 400 ppm reading came a full two months earlier this past week and the seeming inexorable upward march is likely to race past another milestone next month.
"We're already seeing values over 400. Probably we'll see values dwelling over 400 in April and May. It's just a matter of time before it stays over 400 forever," said Ralph Keeling in a blog post.
To preserve a livable planet, climate scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 400 parts per million to below 350 ppm.
Right-wing Republicans remain unconcerned. Recently Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), the vice chair of the notoriously anti-climate change House Energy and Commerce Committee, said on "Meet the Press": "Now, you know, when you look at the social cost of carbon, and there is a lot of ambiguity around that, what you also need to be doing is looking at the benefits of carbon and what that has on increased agricultural production."
"The President should realize that Congress has taken action" on climate change policies, Blackburn said. "We have said no."

Ed Schultz: 'I Was Wrong' On Keystone XL Pipeline
Posted by Richard Warnick in 4th Estate (Media), Barack Obama, Climate Change, Democrats, Disaster, Energy, Environment, Foreign Policy, Global Warming, National Politics on March 6, 2014
MSNBC's Ed Schultz reversed his support for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline on Wednesday and said the United States shouldn't allow it to be built. Last month he called the pipeline "a step in the right direction when it comes to energy independence."
Of course, Keystone XL won't be a pipeline TO the USA. It's a pipeline THROUGH the USA to overseas export. It's likely to cause a gasoline price hike in this country. What do we get from this pipeline? More groundwater pollution, and more climate change.
President Obama could stop this pipeline all by himself. The right-wing is clearly worried, and the Faux News crowd is even claiming that Keystone XL approval would be the answer to the crisis in the Ukraine!

Keystone XL: The Biggest Mistake of Obama's Presidency?

Keystone XL is a "go." Count on Secretary of State Kerry to do the right thing – for the industry. The planet will have to take its chances.

It's classic. Wait till late on a Friday to announce a reprehensible decision in hopes of minimizing the uproar in response. But the climate crisis doesn't take weekends off.
…"Significant impacts to most resources are not expected along the proposed Project route assuming the following," reads the State Department report, before listing a series of improbable assumptions.
They say it's just one pipeline. But the point is we have to say no to ALL the pipelines and leave fossil fuels in the ground.

Happy New Year, and Catastrophic Climate Change Expected
Posted by Richard Warnick in Climate Change, Environment, Global Warming, National Politics, Science on December 31, 2013
A baby born in the new year can expect to live in a world that suffers the effects of catastrophic climate change, according to an article in The Guardian based on a new scientific study published in the journal Nature.
Professor Steven Sherwood at the University of New South Wales in Australia, who led the new research, said that unless emissions of greenhouse gases are cut, the planet would heat up by a minimum of 4C by 2100. The study found that as the planet heats, fewer sunlight-reflecting clouds form, causing temperatures to rise further in an upward spiral.
"4C would likely be catastrophic rather than simply dangerous," Sherwood told the Guardian. "For example, it would make life difficult, if not impossible, in much of the tropics, and would guarantee the eventual melting of the Greenland ice sheet and some of the Antarctic ice sheet," with sea levels rising by many meters as a result.
…"Climate skeptics like to criticize climate models for getting things wrong, and we are the first to admit they are not perfect," said Sherwood. "But what we are finding is that the mistakes are being made by the models which predict less warming, not those that predict more."
For the sake of argument, it's customary to say that climate models only predict what is likely to happen unless we do something fast. I am starting to doubt that there is anything that can be done now to prevent catastrophic climate change, or even slow it down. This is because certain tipping points, for example rapid melting of the Greenland ice sheet, may have already been reached. Once a trigger is pulled, it cannot be un-pulled. The bullet is on its way.

Chris Hayes Interviews Tim DeChristopher

Chris Hayes is the first cable host to interview Tim DeChristopher. Rachel Maddow announced such an interview a couple of years ago, but then substituted some hack from EarthJustice who didn't approve of civil disobedience.
My favorite part is when Tim explains that it's already too late to avoid the tipping points that trigger drastic climate change, but that makes it even more urgent to reform our political system. The current corrupt regime won't be able to cope with a planetary emergency.
Barbara Boxer to GOP: 'Get Out of The Fringe Lane' on Climate Change
Posted by Richard Warnick in Barack Obama, Democracy, Democrats, Environment, Global Warming, National Politics, Party Politics, Republicans on May 9, 2013
The Republican members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee boycotted today's hearing on Gina McCarthy, President Obama's pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Lacking the votes to defeat approval of McCarthy's nomination, they decided to deprive the committee of a quorum. Apparently Republicans are worried that the EPA might enforce the Clean Air Act, thus helping to reduce the effects of climate change.
Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) was not happy.
"Their opposition, even to allowing us to vote, shows how outside the mainstream they are, it shows how obstructionist they are," the senator continued. "It shows how their pledge to do better with women voters is false. How could you have a more qualified woman than Gina McCarthy? This is outrageous."
"They're fringe, they're out of the mainstream," she reiterated — and trying to impose their "pro-pollution stance" on the Obama administration. Boxer further noted that they'd be examining their parliamentary options, which would include potentially changing committee rules.
To the opposition, Boxer offered some advice: Take a page out of the mainstream Republicans' playbook and "get out of the fringe lane."
McCarthy has already answered over 1,000 written questions from GOP committee members, more than any other Obama nominee.
This is how the tail wags the dog in the U.S. Senate. Nice work, GOP
UPDATE: An instrument near the summit of Mauna Loa in Hawaii has recorded a long-awaited climate milestone: the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere there has exceeded 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in 55 years of measurement—and probably more than 3 million years of Earth history.
350 parts per million is what many scientists, climate experts, and progressive national governments consider to be the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere.
Tim DeChristopher Released From Prison Today,Earth Day!

On December 19, 2008, in a courageous act of civil disobedience, Tim DeChristopher protested an oil and gas lease auction of 116 parcels of public land in Utah's red rock country, conducted by the Bureau of Land Management. DeChristopher decided to participate in the auction, signing a bidder registration Form and placing bids to obtain 14 parcels of land (totaling 22,500 acres) for $1.8 million. DeChristopher was removed from the auction by federal agents, taken into custody, and questioned.
The auction was later declared illegal by incoming Obama Interior Secretary, Ken Salazar.
Nonetheless, DeChristopher was aggressively persecuted by George W. Bush-appointed federal prosecutors a judge who's tenure included Chief of Staff for Senator Orrin Hatch. DeChristopher courageously refused all plea offers to avoid jail time. On July 26, 2011, Judge Dee Benson sentenced DeChristopher to two years in prison;
Peaceful Uprising is organizing a screening of Bidder70 in Salt Lake City: the first that Tim will be able to attend since the movie premiered last year! In conjunction with this event, the filmmakers (Beth & George Gage) have partnered with a film distributor, Gathr Films, to organize countrywide simultaneous theatrical screenings.

No global warming, because, Jesus!

"I would point out that people like me who support hydrocarbon development don't deny that the climate is changing. I think you can have an honest difference of opinion of what's causing that change without automatically being either all-in that's all because of mankind or it's all just natural. I think there's a divergence of evidence. I would point out that if you're a believer in the Bible, one would have to say the Great Flood is an example of climate change, and that certainly wasn't because mankind had overdeveloped hydrocarbon energy."
—Republican Congressman from Texas Joe Barton, during today's Subcommittee on Energy and Power hearing on the Northern Route Approval Act, legislation which would authorize Congress to approve the Keystone pipeline.
Yeah. New rule, if you think talking about 4000plus year old myths borrowed from a culture that in turn borrowed them from another that borrowed them from still another culture should be sited as scientific evidence to use against something that pretty much every peer reviewed climate work has found actual evidence for, you are too god damn stupid to be allowed to open your slobbering slack jawed maw in public. You are certainly the last person who should be allowed to vote on legislation that demands at least a sixth grade level of science comprehension. In fact, you should likely have your legal status as an adult human being taken away to protect yourself and others.
In short, you might be a Texas republican.
Hell, at least Idaho and Texas keep doing their level best to make sure Utah isn't the national embarrassment.
Note to Denialists: Climate Change is Irreversible
Posted by Richard Warnick in Climate Change, Environment, Global Warming, National Politics, Science, This Blog on April 1, 2013
Joe Romm of Think Progress points out that, among the other things they are completely wrong about, the political opponents of climate science also think that we can go backwards by cutting carbon emissions.
This notion that we can reverse climate change by cutting emissions is one of the most commonly held myths — and one of the most dangerous, as explained in this 2007 MIT study, "Understanding Public Complacency About Climate Change: Adults' mental models of climate change violate conservation of matter."
…The fact is that, as RealClimate has explained, we would need "an immediate cut of around 60 to 70% globally and continued further cuts over time" merely to stabilize atmospheric concentrations of CO2 – and that would still leave us with a radiative imbalance that would lead to "an additional 0.3 to 0.8ºC warming over the 21st Century." And that assumes no major carbon cycle feedbacks kick in, which seems highly unlikely.
We'd have to drop total global emissions to zero now and for the rest of the century just to lower concentrations enough to stop temperatures from rising. Again, even in this implausible scenario, we still aren't talking about reversing climate change, just stopping it — or, more technically, stopping the temperature rise…
We all need to understand that it's too late to prevent global warming, and that climate change is happening now. It's irreversible (except over thousands of years). All we can do at this point is try to minimize the amount of warming, and develop plans to cope with the effects of climate change on our economy and way of life. But our political system thrives on myths, and the truth is still getting shouted down.
UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh is claiming contrary to basic physics that "carbon in the atmosphere may actually be making things cooler, not warmer."

Health Insurance: J Scholars
Health Insurance is Mandatory for J-1 Exchange Visitors and any J-2 Dependents that will accompany J-1 to the United States. Temple University requires proof of insurance which meets the Department of State criteria prior to the issuance of any Form DS-2019. Insurance purchase dates must match dates on invitation / appointment letter. Discuss your J-1 program dates with your Temple University department PRIOR to purchasing insurance. If dependents will arrive after the exchange visitor, insurance may be purchased for them closer to their arrival in the US.
Visiting Research Scholars must purchase full health insurance. Names of suggested insurance companies are available here. If you have insurance coverage from a company not listed on our website, you MUST submit an Insurance Compliance Form to ISSS.
Postdoctoral Fellows and TU-Appointed Faculty ONLY need to purchase medical evacuation and repatriation insurance. Here is a list of some companies that provide this insurance. You may also purchase a policy from a different company of your choice.
Consistent with United States federal regulations, individuals in Exchange Visitor (J-1) status must purchase health insurance that includes minimum coverage as set by the United States Department of State, including coverage for medical evacuation and repatriation. To ensure that exchange visitors at Temple University purchase at least the minimum coverage for the duration of the individual's J program, Temple University requires proof of insurance only from firms whose coverage has been verified as meeting the Department of State minima prior to the issuance of any Form DS-2019.
The Requirements
Program participants and their dependents are required to have medical insurance coverage FOR THE DURATION OF THEIR PROGRAM with the following minimum benefits [22 CFR 62.14].
- Medical benefits of at least $50,000 per accident or illness
- Repatriation of remains in the amount of $7,500
- Expenses associated with the medical evacuation of the exchange visitor to his or her home country in the amount of $10,000
- A deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness.
- An insurance policy secured to meet the benefits requirements must be underwritten by an insurance corporation with an A.M. Best rating of "A-" or above, an Insurance Solvency International, Ltd. (ISI) rating of "A-I" or above, a Standard and Poor's Claims Paying Ability rating of "A-" or above, or a Weiss Research, Inc. rating of B+ or above. Alternatively, your government may submit a statement verifying that they fully support your insurance policy.
The reason for the requirement; and the need for health insurance
It is dangerous to be in the United States without adequate health insurance. Although in many countries the government bears the expense of health care for its citizens, and sometimes even for visitors, individuals and families in the United States are responsible for these costs themselves. Since a single day of hospitalization and medical treatment can cost thousands of dollars, many hospitals and doctors refuse to treat uninsured patients except in life-threatening emergencies. Most Americans rely on insurance, and you should do the same. Insurance gives you access to better and more timely health care, and provides the only protection against the enormous costs of health care in this country.
Dental and Vision Information for International Scholars
Please keep in mind that many health insurance plans offered in the United States do not include Dental and Vision Insurance. Please consult your insurance provider to ascertain whether or not your plan will cover dental and vision. If not, you may wish to contact the following companies for more information:
Associated Insurance Plans
Phone: 1 800-452-5772
Golden West Dental and Vision
Phone: 1 800 655 3225
How medical insurance works:
When you purchase health insurance coverage, the money you pay (your premium) is combined with the premiums of others to form a pool of money. That money is then used to pay the medical bills of those participants who need health care. Your coverage remains valid only as long as you continue to pay your insurance premiums.
Once you purchase insurance, the company will provide you with an insurance identification card for use as proof of your coverage when you are seeking health care from a hospital or doctor. The company will also provide written instructions for reporting and documenting medical expenses (filing a claim). The company will evaluate any claim that you file, and make the appropriate payment for coverage under your particular policy. In some cases the company pays the hospital or doctor directly; in others the company reimburses the policy holder after he or she has paid the bills.

We have to wait until Friday, but only one more day until our US members get hold of it and can give us their previews. Hint hint.
By the way, are we interested in starting a region?
Already got it, friend at EA gifted me a copy last night. Haven't installed or played yet - he might be a friend but EA can go hang. Might give it a go next week if I cba. I found 2000 just the right mix between simplicity, fun and realism and everything afterwards was just too much. I hear this one takes it back a notch so I may give it some time, if I can get round EA's lack of scruples.
Nerd³ Doesn't Play... SimCity - YouTube Nice rant about online DRM and being forced online at all times, no save files, servers shutting down when new release comes out and all other things to give a different opinion on this.
It's not going well apparently. 30 mins wait to join a server, even in the middle of the night before the masses woke up. Some that pre-ordered found their keys wouldn't unlock yet those that bought there and then would work. Total meltdown! Hurrah.
EA are making a mess of most things these days and this sounds no different. The mussis likes the Sim City games, but after seeing on Origin that it's £45 for the standard game, £65 for the Deluxe edition, they can go and burn.
That's why I am glad the UK is last on the release schedule. US can iron out the bugs for us.
Though lets be honest, what online game hasn't had trouble in the first few days? WoW was plagued with problems for months but grew into one of the biggest games to ever be released. Yeah SimCity is a bit weird, it's a city simulator with MMO-style features in. I do think the anti-online crowd are going a bit far though. You cannot read anything without someone reciting the same thing again and again and again, with HUKD and Metacritic getting bombed by people who haven't even played it!
There are a lot of reasons for online and how it works though:
- Regional effects. If you are a bad neighbour and have high crime and high pollution, other cities in your region, likely your friends, will be affected by it.
- Inter-city services. If your bad neighbour has high crime or high pollution, volunteer some Police or Garbage trucks to clean it up and earn some money in return.
- Regional resource trade for city "wonders" which requires cities to contribute so many resources.
- Global resource trade on the Global Market. You aren't playing one region, you are playing the entire world. If none of your neighbours have use for stockpiled resources you can buy/sell on the market. Important as a city may not have all the resources required.
It's really easy to look at the game and go "Single player city simulator, no online needed." But I can see from the devs point of view for their reasoning behind an online service and I agree with it for once. I thought the same until I watched videos of the game and the recent Lets All Be Mayor series and there is so much interconnection between cities that even if you were able to go offline, you'd be missing out on a huge part of the game. This isn't the single player Simcity of past titles, it's a new genre of Massively Multiplayer Online City Simulator Game (MMOSCG?).
For the record: Not an EA fanboy. Hate how they operate for the most part, but feel the community might be making a storm in a teacup over this one.
Didn't buy Diablo, wont be buying this.
Maybe I'm getting weird as I'm ageing but I have spent more time (and had more enjoyment tbh) playing Mario Cart on the Wii with the OH recently than almost any game brought out in the last year or more, bar Saints Row.
I love the Sim genre but this does not really appeal to me now its added the online element.
I can't wait until I start hearing about EVE levels of shenanigans from this...
Played the closed beta. Didn't click with me, so I'll continue playing SimCity 4.
I recorded footage but the NDA was still in effect. They lifted it and I didn't notice, was planning on making a video about it but was beaten to it by the interwebs.
Instead I wrote an article about it, which is summed up in my first sentence ^. I'll probably pick it up when it crashes in price (if that ever happens with EA).
Ars weren't very impressed, and I've got to say, whilst I knew from previews that the city size was going to be smaller, I wasn't ready for this much smaller.
With always-on DRM that is currently broken, I fear I'll be skipping this now. Which is a shame, as the GlassBox engine sounded very cool early on, and it looks gorgeous, and it's been ages since a proper SimCity... but alas, this will fail due to all its crippling stupidities, and then EA will decide it didn't sell because there's no demand for SimCity games, and we'll go another ten years without one.
A point to ponder on the always-online: even if you think it does add to the game (I remain unconvinced), EA have a habit of shutting down game servers after only two years of release. I can still play Sim City 2000 today, nearly twenty years on; I'll be surprised if this Sim City is running in 2016
I wonder...do I rebuild Nephilopolis...hmmm
Well it looks like the situation has been getting worse. Lost cities, people still unable to connect, the game appearing in libraries up to 3 hours after activation with no message and the gaming press going from praising the game to labelling the launch as "A complete PR disaster."
Well done EA. I can't see it being fixed in time for the UK release at the end of the week somehow.
Ive got it, count me in for EduIsland

Orange County's employment has been on the slow track but it saw a major swing to the upside in the last part of the year and is now on a five-month winning streak.
Overall, the county gained 19,100 jobs from November 2009 to November 2010 — third best among the nation's 32 large metropolitan divisions, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The greater Washington, D.C. area, which includes parts of neighboring Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, topped the list adding 37,600 jobs over the previous 12 months. Dallas was second with 31,700 new positions.
But it is the major reversal in Orange County's employment picture that is encouraging. The county started out 2010 with 71,200 fewer jobs than in January 2009.
In July, the county eked out its first year-over-year job growth — a mere 7,800 net new positions, but it was the first increase in 39 months. Every month since has improved.
Orange County's unemployment rate ticked up to 9.3% in November from 9.1% in October, but that was still fourth lowest in the state.
We may get our first hint at December's local job picture on Friday, Jan. 7, when the U.S. unemployment report is released. The December numbers for Orange County and the state will be released Jan. 21

STAFFORD, Va. - Two men have been indicted after a bomb was found in their house, according to the Stafford County Fire Marshal's office.
Cody V. Compton, 20, and Jonathon K. Clark, 21, were both indicted by a Stafford Grand Jury for possession of an explosive device.
The fire marshal's office says the "pipe bomb-type device" was found in the garage of the two men's Stafford County home in November of 2010.
The device was found when the Stafford County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant for an unrelated manner at 5 Catherine Lane in the Garrisonville district of Stafford.
Virginia State Police and the county fire marshal were called in to disarm the device.
The county fire marshal's office says the device was intended to hurt people, and not cause structural damage.

|Thu, May 6th, 2010

You can't go wrong with a one dollar first issue drawn by Mike Allred. The writing isn't on the same level as the art, but it's still solid.

War of the Supermen #1
Superman against 100,000 people with the same powers? Tough odds.

Brightest Day #1
While the white rings resurrected twelve heroes and villains, this issue follows only a half dozen of the returned heroes.

Batman and Robin #12
"Batman and Robin" turns the intensity up even higher, if such a thing is possible.
|Wed, May 5th, 2010

Additional supporting information for Grant Funding Call 11/07: JISC 'Course Data: Making the most of Course Information' Capital Programme - Call for Letters of Commitment. Instead of holding a one-off face to face community briefing event for this call, we have provided a recorded presentation which highlights the key aspects that JISC is looking for in projects funded under the call.
Download recording of Elluminate Live briefing
Download presentation slides (ppt)
If, having read the call and viewed the supporting presentations, you have any questions on the call and bidding process, or would like to discuss possible project ideas, please get in touch, using the contact details set out in paragraphs 48 and 49 of the call, or the last slide of the presentation. Any questions likely to be of use to other bidders will be anonymised, generalised (if necessary) and posted to this page, with their answers.
Do institutions need to be part of stage 1 of the call in order to be eligible for funding in stage 2?
Yes, institutions have to be part of stage 1 of the call to be eligible for funding in stage 2.In order to receive funding in stage 1 institutions are required to submit a letter of commitment signed by key senior staff. As it can take time to secure management buy-in, we would like to see evidence of commitment from senior staff at the beginning of the review and planning stage. This will make sure that the relevant senior manager supports any recommendations for changes identified during stage 1 and authorises the work put forward in the implementation plans before they start stage 2. Detailed information about stage 2 of the call will be provided in the start up meeting via Elluminate on Friday 16th September.
We appreciate that job titles are different in HE and FE institutions, so the call has tried to articulate the roles which have responsibility for the areas that will be effected by this call. This is so they can authorise any necessary changes that come out of the review process in Stage 1. We hope we have given guidance on the roles we think hold this responsibility, and are relying on institutions being able to decide exactly who these people are in their organisation. So it should be fine if the principal and two members of the Senior Leadership Team collectively hold responsibility for these areas of work:
I wanted to clarify that the only criterion facing FECs which offer HE and which plan to enter the Course Data programme is that they should deliver at least 400 FTE. Does this apply only to directly funded numbers? Some FECs are indirectly funded, ie they may deliver huge numbers of FFEs, and contribute to the widening participation agenda in their area, but these are not their own numbers.
All FE colleges in England that teach HE to more than 400 FTE qualify for HEFCE capital funding, whether this funding is direct or indirect, providing involvement in the programme supports the HE in FE agenda.
In paragraph 17 the call document says ".....the plans must include costings ...." and in paragraph 36 the document says "Institutions are not required to submit a budget with their letter." Does this mean that the initial letter of commitment does not need to include any budgeting or costing figures but the Implementation Plan which is the product of Stage 1 will include the usual fec costing model?
Paragraph 17 is about the implementation plan to go forward into the stage 2 selection process. This needs costings of what you plan to do with the £40-80,000. Paragraph 36 is about the stage 1 letter of commitment which institutions will get £10,000 for.

"We're going to be surprised, I think we're going to do that on this one," the Side Effects [6]star, 32, tells E News [7]. "It's one of the only real surprises that you're ever gonna get that's legit."

Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress.Ted Levitt
Economic growth without social progress lets the great majority of people remain in poverty, while a privileged few reap the benefits of rising abundance.John F. Kennedy
Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.Nicholas Murray Butler
Life is a progress, and not a station.Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who is firmly seated in authority soon learns to think security, and not progress, the highest lesson in statecraftJames Russell Lowell
The exact measure of the progress of civilization is the degree in which the intelligence of the common mind has prevailed over wealth and brute forceGeorge Bancroft
He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.Harold Wilson
He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore, make any progressAnwar Sadat
Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.Henry Steele Commager
Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.Sir John Lubbock
Nothing can have as its destination anything other than its origin. The contrary idea, the idea of progress, is poison.Simone Weil
Death is really a great blessing for humanity without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not any hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient Stimulus to be creative.Alfred Adler
Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.Goethe
All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.George Bernard Shaw
The one who conceals the (way of) prosperity and progress from you, has done enimity to you.Muhammad ibn Al
In matters that are so obscure and far beyond our vision, we find in Holy Scripture passages which can be interpreted in very different ways without prejudice to the faith we have received. In such cases, we should not rush in headlong and so firmly take our stand on one side that, if further progress in the search for truth justly undermines this position, we too fall with it.St. Augustine of Hippo
There are times of great change, times when old landmarks are being upset, when submerged forces are rising, and just as we deal promptly or linger over the solution of these problems, our progress will be rapid or slow, sound or broken... The problem is put to us one by one, to each nation one by one... He has shown us the possibility of strength within us, and then He has shown us where the danger, the weakness lies. He is pointing out to us how is it that we may become strong. On us it lies ... to answer the question which God has put to us, and according as we answer on it depends how this movement will progress, what route it will take, and whether it will lead to a swift and sudden salvation, or whether, after so many centuries of tribulation and sufferings there is still a long period of tribulation and suffering before us. God has put the question to us and with us entirely it lies to answer.Sri Aurobindo
The Infinite alone justifies the existence of the finite and the finite by itself has no entirely separate value or independent existence. Life, if it is not an illusion, is a divine Play, a manifestation of the glory of the Infinite. Or it is a means by which the soul growing in Nature through countless forms and many lives can approach, touch, feel and unite itself through love and knowledge and faith and adoration and a Godward will in works with this transcendent Being and this infinite Existence. This Self or this self-existent Being is the one supreme reality, and all things else are either only appearances or only true by dependence upon it. It follows that self-realisation and God-realisation are the great business of the living and thinking human being. All life and thought are in the end a means of progress towards self-realisation and God-realisation.Sri Aurobindo
Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.Frank Zappa

What does a dream about death mean? What do dreams of swimming, failing, or flying symbolize? First published by Sigmund Freud in 1899, The Interpretation of Dreams considers why we dream and what it means in the larger picture of our psychological lives. Delving into theories of manifest and latent dream content, the special language of dreams, dreams as wish fulfillments, the significance of childhood experiences, and much more, Freud, widely considered the "father of psychoanalysis," thoroughly and thoughtfully examines dream psychology. Encompassing dozens of case histories and detailed analyses of actual dreams, this landmark text presents Freud's legendary work as a tool for comprehending our sleeping experiences.

Over the knee boots...appropriate??
10 comments:
I found you through Bon! I become obsessed with boots in the winter, unfortunately my job doesn't allow me to wear them so I have a hard time excusing buying as many pairs as I want!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jaime! Thanks for stopping by! That's too bad you can't wear them for work:( They are so fun for casual looks though!!Delete
I'm kind of really jealous that you get casual Fridays... oh, and these boots are adorable - my favorite are the first 2 on the top row.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, that's such a bummer you don't get casual Fridays! I don't get them every Friday, depending on whether I have to meet with clients or not. But it is fun to have a day to funk it up a little! :)Delete
Okay, I finally got into the trend of boots this year (besides the slightly-higher-than-my-ankle ones I've worn for years with dress slacks), and my issue is, every pair of knee-high boots I have EVER tried on look ridiculous (to me) because I have really slender legs. Okay, fine. Skinny. I have skinny legs. My calf, like, SWIMS in the circumference of the boot. Boo! Maybe you have an idea. Boot socks don't go with all of them, do they?ReplyDelete
Anyway, the real reason I came here was to tell you . . . I nominated you for a Liebster! Head on over to my blog here, and check it out!
Gayle | Grace for GayleReplies
Hi Gayle! Thanks SO MUCH! I'll have to get over and check it out! :) Also, thanks for stopping by!Delete
I'm not a huge fan of boot socks for the work place...on casual days? Absolutely! Maybe try a stretch boot instead of a zipper? Or maybe find ones with a 13" or less circumference! I have the same problem, but the other way. I need the 15" circumference...anything less just is NOT cute on me.
Good luck girly!
I found you through BonBon and I'm SO glad I did! What fabulous style you have lady! For sure, dedicated follower. :) Love the boots! Agreed - No "over the knee" boots at work puh-lease.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Candace! Thanks for visiting! And for the super sweet comments! And for being a new follower...and a dedicated one at that;) Did I just say thank you enough?! HA!Delete
Glad you agree! It just looks inappropriate, you know?!
OTK certainly looks inappropriate at work but other than that its an go through footwear's. When you are not sure what to wear you can wear them.ReplyDelete
What u think ?
I completely agree withyou! I had an old coworker who wore over the knee black boots with leggings and a button up shirt all unbuttoned ALL the time. It drove me nuts. It is so incredibly important to be professional. In dress and demeanor.ReplyDelete

Hochberg is also the first major fund-raiser for Obama to be given a post.
He was worried that a lingering investigation in New Mexico would hinder his confirmation.
They're moving the family to Washington already.
Question: Which issue do you care about more?
If you think it's because he's keeping a grudge, then why did he call on that whiny dude from CBS?
Of all of her faces, this is the last one we expected.
You know, the one that you trust and whose advice you need, but who can't keep her effing mouth shut?
The transition team confirms that her name is high on the list for the post, and that Obama has discussed it in meetings.
Political observers are offering FDR, Ronald Reagan, and even George W. Bush as presidents to emulate.

Top Local Tips for Barcelona
getting to Malgrat from airports Closer to Gerona (so cheaper transfer and quicker). Expect to pay nearly 100euros from Barcelona and around 60 from Gerona. Will be cheaper going back though. You can travel from Barcelona by train from the airport but you will have to change and beware of the pickpockets on train and station - have had a bag stolen from train and a backpack opened whilst transferring trains!
train travel It is easy to get to anywhere from Malgrat as the train station is not far away. Some friends of ours went to Barcelona with no trouble unti they came back on a crowded train and got robbed. Be careful of handbags, bumbags etc. It is very bad for crime. But having said that, if you are careful then there is no problem. Always leave your passport in the hotel, we paid to have a safe, and only take what money you may need on the day. You can also go to the neighbouring resorts on the train very cheaply.

Science historian and psychologist Michael Shermer examines why people believe weird things in Carleton Convocation
Dr. Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic magazine and the executive director of the Skeptics Society, will present Carleton's first convocation address of 2015 on Friday, Jan. 9 from 10:50 to 11:50 a.m. in the Skinner Memorial Chapel. In this age of supposed scientific enlightenment, when many people still believe in mind reading, past-life regression theory and alien abduction, Shermer's presentation will wage a no-holds-barred assault on popular superstitions and prejudices, debunking nonsensical claims and exploring the very human reasons people find otherworldly phenomena, conspiracy theories, and cults so appealing.
Entitled "Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time," Shermer's presentation is free and open to the public. Carleton convocations are also recorded and archived online at go.carleton.edu/convo.

Title: The art of the intro... #8 and #7.
Posted: March 06, 2007 (05:15 PM)
The most fun aspect of reviewing for me is writing the intro. Writing the actual body of the review can get a bit boring, and it's often frustrating trying to figure out little jokes and such to keep it interesting. But with the intro, you have all the freedom in the world. The weirder the better.
So, out of curiosity. What is your guys thought process while creating an intro?
Mine is rather simple. First I try and think of what stands out aboout the game the most. Next, I try and think of something that somehow ties to it, like a metaphor or something. Today I was randomly thinking of how I'd approach my Crackdown review. I decided that the jumping and the freedom that it gives you is what stands out the most. I want to start the review off with some sort of quote about freedom, maybe from MLK, then go on some sort of speech-esque rant about how I was never truly free until I played crackdown. I think it'll be fun!
Gaming Progress: Making this XBLA list has really gotten me back into playing XBLA games. I spent like 2-3 hours just playing random arcade games today, it was great fun. Crackdown is ridiculously short. I can't believe I'm going to be basically all down with a sandbox game in just a 5-day rental period. Ahh well.
#8: Assault Heroes
This one is quite odd. A verical shooter... that takes place in go-kart things. The game has quite a bit of depth, you have 3 very different weapons, a flamethrower, autocannon, and machine gun, as well as grenades and an option to nuke the whole area. Each of the 3 main weapons can be upgraded 3 levels, so it's quite fun upgrading and blowing everything up to hell. A few of the bosses are pretty fun, and going through the level blowing everything up can be hectic and fun. There's also some co-op, which adds for extra carnage. However, a lot of the time when I'm playing, I'm in a daze, like I just can't REALLY get into the game. It just feels empty at times for some reason. I can't figure out why, but overall, it's a really well-designed game that I don't always have as much fun as I could with.
#7: Doom
KNOW YOUR ROOTS lolol. Anyway, as weird as it is not being able to aim up or down, Doom can just be flat out fun at times. I don't know what it is, but after that gun goes up after firing, and I see my foe fall to the ground in a pool of its own blood, I just feel incredibly satisfied. It's weird. The only real problems with the game, are more time issues than anything. Incredibly boring levels and enemy design definitely makes things kinda lame at times, but overall, it's quite fun. It's a shame no one plays it multiplayer anymore, or it could be even better.

I usually do one of two things for an intro:
1) I sometimes provide a short synopsis of the story and events of the game. An example is my FF: Dirge of Cerberus review. I shy away from too many details and try to get the reader to feel the world of the game. I tend to do this a lot for sequels and games with heavy storylines.
2) My usual tactic is to get personal. I give the reader some information about my thoughts, nostalgic feelings, or how I came to play the game. Sometimes I get off-balance and spend too much time talking about things besides the game. Still, when done right, it gives readers a good view of where you're coming from and how you may or may not share their stances on a title. I think that my Time Crisis review is a good example.

check out Doom 2 sometime, it's a far more well made game than the original. shame that people always just lump the two together.
