Defense News - Indonesia
Attending the meeting were Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Adm. Agus Suhartono, National Police chief Gen. Timur Pradopo, Industry Minister MS Hidayat, State-Owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan and Research and Technology Minister Gusti Muhammad Hatta.
The contracts were signed with both SOEs as well as private firms. The SOEs included arms maker PT Pindad for armored personnel carriers (APCs), tactical bridges, small-calibre munitions, rifles and guns; state aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI) for folding-fin aerial rockets (FFAR), Bell 412 EP assault and transport helicopters; private shipyard PT Palindo Marine for fast missile boat KCR-40; privately-owned PT Sari Bahari for P-100 bombs and PT Infra RCS for Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) radar. Purnomo said Indonesia aimed to produce as many weapon systems at home as possible to reduce dependency on foreign suppliers.
"At one stage we depended too much on [overseas suppliers], making us prone to an arms embargo," he told a press conference after the meeting.
"Inline with our free-and-active foreign policy, we have since diversified our sources of weapon systems. However, we want to produce as many weapons systems locally as is possible."
Earlier in May 2011, Purnomo said that Indonesia would be able to locally produce most of its weapon systems by 2030.
"The efforts to reach that goal are still ongoing and the KKIP is closely monitoring the progress of our defense industries," he said.
"We, for example, are cooperating with South Korea to build the KFX jet fighter. We are also planning to build a third submarine at home while the first two will be built in South Korea."
The minister also said that Indonesia was studying a cooperation with China to locally produce the C-705 anti-ship missile which has a range of some 140 kilometers as part of a defense cooperation to fulfill Indonesia's needs.
Separately, Pindad president director Adik Aviantono Soedarsono said the highlight of the contract was the tactical bridge worth Rp 69 billion.
"The bridge can be expanded in just two hours to a span of 49 meters, much faster than the Bailey bridge," he told reporters after the press conference.
Pindad will also provide 31 Anoa APCs worth Rp 250 billion.
Meanwhile, president director of aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia, Budi Santoso, told The Jakarta Post that his company would supply up to 28 Bell 412 EP helicopters to the Indonesian Army by 2014.
"We have several contracts with the Army and have delivered two helicopters out of a contract to provide four helicopters," he said.
"Today we signed a contract to provide eight helicopters in two separate contracts and are ready to sign another for 16 helicopters."
Budi said the helicopters were for both transport and assault missions.

Since their inception just a few months ago, Vancouver-based Athabasca Uranium Inc. (TSX-V; UAX) has been working diligently toward achieving their corporate goal of becoming a world-class uranium mining company. They have taken option positions on three properties; the McCarthy Lake Project, the Webb River Project and the McGregor Lake Project - all located in the famous Athabasca basin of Saskatchewan, home of some of the highest grade uranium deposits known to date. As of early 2011, UAX continues to move forward on two fronts, acquiring additional property interests and continuing development of its core holdings. The company recently announced plans to acquire options on three properties; Key Lake East, Hodges Lake and Hamilton Lake. At the same time, the company is advancing its exploration and development work at their McGregor Lake and Webb River properties, specifically including a 2,740 Km heli-borne Z-Tem survey, employing the latest cutting-edge technology of its kind, designed to identify discrete conductive vertical anomalies at depth. For several years, a powerful, fundamental argument has been building for uranium resource development and two factors in particular lie behind the uranium argument. In the first case, many nations are either embarking on new nuclear power projects or extending the life of present ones. Among the important nations which have publicized such plans in recent years are China, India, Germany, France and the United States. One of the driving forces behind such decisions is the fact that nuclear power production is virtually pollution-free. In the second case, an important source of fuel-grade uranium for nuclear power plants has been the conversion of weapons-grade uranium obtained from the dismantling of previous nuclear weapons. Virtually all recovery from this source has originated with the former Soviet Union nations but the rate of recovery from this source is in decline as the available supply of decommissioned nuclear weapons diminishes. Strong indications have recently emerged that future demand for fuel-grade uranium is firming. In mid-November 2010 China confirmed information regarding its ambitious nuclear expansion program and that news item sent spot uranium prices higher. Postmedia News recently published estimates indicating double-digit increases in demand for uranium production as China looks for ways to guarantee their future supplies. It is also worth noting that at almost the same time, Germany confirmed its plans to extend the life of its present nuclear power plants by an average of 12 years, providing further support for the demand side of the uranium supply/demand equation. Uranium prices have surged recently in response to firming demand indications and one source, Macquarie Group Ltd., was quoted by Bloomberg News Service stating the price for Uranium Oxide had risen to over $70 per pound by early February 2011, up from $40 in the second quarter 2010. All of Athabasca Uranium's projects lie along the same general trend which hosts Cameco Corporation's two major projects, the producing McArthur River Mine and their major developmental project, the Cigar Lake Mine, now scheduled to enter production in 2013. McCarthy Lake covers 7,584 hectares (18,580 acres) and lies 40 Km (24 miles) east of Cameco's MacArthur River Mine and 29 Km (17 miles) SE of the Cigar Lake Mine along the eastern edge of the Athabasca basin, abutting Denison's South Cigar Project. A 2007 airborne Tempest MAG/EM survey was flown over the property to test for the presence and extent of graphitic zones that can host uranium mineralization and identified conductive targets described as "pearls on a string." The McGregor Lake Project is somewhat larger, covering 18,699 hectares likewise along the eastern margin of the Athabasca basin and adjoining Denison and Hathor Exploration properties, lying just 5 kilometers (3 miles) east of Denison's Moore Lake deposit. The company closed on the first phase of its option in October, 2010 with the objective of ultimately earning a 100% interest in the project. During the same month, UAX also closed on the first phase of its option to acquire the Webb River Property, covering 5,386 hectares and also located along the eastern margin of the Athabasca basin. Webb River lies close to two significant eastern basin uranium deposits; West Bear and Moore Lake. Athabasca Uranium is in the process of raising capital to finance the advancement of their projects. Future plans include winter drilling programs and the company is ready to mobilize equipment almost immediately following successful completion of their financing. During a recent interview with Athabasca Uranium President Gil Schneider, we learned that the company will be employing an exploration process utilizing high resolution 3-D seismic technology as part of its winter program. This leading-edge technology has met with previous success in uranium exploration (Hathor's Roughrider discovery) through a relationship with the University of Saskatchewan's Geosciences department for the interpretation of data. Note: A full, in-depth study will be prepared following a property visit, scheduled to take place at the earliest opportunity

Oooooh!!! How beautiful. I have Frederic Mistral too - looks just like that! Just smelled it today - so I don't have to imagine it - sigh what a wonderful smell. Your pictures are wonderful!!! Carol |
Beautiful Mantis!!! Carol, I hope your Frederic grows great in your climate! Cyndy from Peter Beales looooves her Frederic Mistral. I am thinking that your FM should do well, Carol. Mine is the only rose in my garden to survive an ordinary large pot in our zone 5 winter, and I'm crossing my fingers it again survives! It is very rare for a rose to do this...Mine is also growing in full shade, so the bloom itself will never be as huge as yours and Mantis. But it's still lovely as can be! Hey, be sure to let me know how your Lincoln is doing too, Carol! I was telling Mantis that the best blooms for Lincoln should be in autumn! My blooms are back to 6" blooms on steroids when the cool and rainy weather arrives, just like Mantis described. I love your spirals, Mantis, and I'm looking forward to more of your fall blooms! |
Lovely pics. I, too, grow Frederic, I like the blooms in the fall, with the large spirals. |
Yum, my favorite shade of pink! |
Beautiful! I love those big globular blooms! |

manis, these are some gorgeous shots of Frederic Mistral. Thanks for posting! I grow this rose, too, but it is still in a 5 gallon pot and has completely outgrown it up to a point that the rose is not able to bloom anymore. Seeing your photos has reminded me to give this wonderful rose more leg space so that I get to see some of its gorgeous blooms, again! Christina |

Cup leader Johnson on Texas pole, Bowyer 4th, Keselowski 8th
NASCAR Sprint Cup points leader Jimmie Johnson is on the pole again.
Johnson is the top qualifier for the race at Texas Motor Speedway after a fast lap of 191.076 mph Friday. It's his second week in a row as the polesitter, and he won last week at Martinsville to take over the points lead with three races left.
Brad Keselowski, only two points behind Johnson in the standings, qualified eighth at a track where he has never had a top-10 finish.
Johnson finished second at Texas in April, a race won by Greg Biffle.
Biffle will start on the front row with Johnson on Sunday after qualifying second with a lap of 190.382 mph.
Kansas native Clint Bowyer started the weekend 26 points behind Johnson. He will roll off forth Sunday at Texas.
"It was really good in (turns) one and two and anytime you get in it like that -- you know, you got one and two that's got all that grip and the shade, and you get down to (turns) three and four," said Bowyer. "I knew not to be overconfident, but I had a little more confidence than I probably should and missed the bottom down there and just kind of gave up a little too much I think in (turns) three and four."

I just wasn't sure if that is correct or not.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The Lord says, "Here is my servant, whom I strengthen - the one I have chosen, with whom I am pleased. I have filled him with my Spirit, and he will bring justice to every nation. | 1 "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. |
2 He will not shout or raise his voice or make loud speeches in the streets. | 2 He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. |
3 He will not break off a bent reed nor put out a flickering lamp. He will bring lasting justice to all. | 3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; |
4 He will not lose hope or courage; he will establish justice on the earth. Distant lands eagerly wait for his teaching." | 4 he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope." |
5 God created the heavens and stretched them out; he fashioned the earth and all that lives there; he gave life and breath to all its people. And now the Lord God says to his servant, | 5 This is what God the LORD says-- he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: |
6 "I, the Lord, have called you and given you power to see that justice is done on earth. Through you I will make a covenant with all peoples; through you I will bring light to the nations. | 6 "I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, |
7 You will open the eyes of the blind and set free those who sit in dark prisons. | 7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. |
8 "I alone am the Lord your God. No other god may share my glory; I will not let idols share my praise. | 8 "I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. |
9 The things I predicted have now come true. Now I will tell you of new things even before they begin to happen." | 9 See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you." |
10 Sing a new song to the Lord; sing his praise, all the world! Praise him, you that sail the sea; praise him, all creatures of the sea! Sing, distant lands and all who live there! | 10 Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them. |
11 Let the desert and its towns praise God; let the people of Kedar praise him! Let those who live in the city of Sela shout for joy from the tops of the mountains! | 11 Let the desert and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops. |
12 Let those who live in distant lands give praise and glory to the Lord! | 12 Let them give glory to the LORD and proclaim his praise in the islands. |
13 The Lord goes out to fight like a warrior; he is ready and eager for battle. He gives a war cry, a battle shout; he shows his power against his enemies. | 13 The LORD will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. |
14 God says, "For a long time I kept silent; I did not answer my people. But now the time to act has come; I cry out like a woman in labor. | 14 "For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant. |
15 I will destroy the hills and mountains and dry up the grass and trees. I will turn the river valleys into deserts and dry up the pools of water. | 15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; I will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools. |
16 "I will lead my blind people by roads they have never traveled. I will turn their darkness into light and make rough country smooth before them. These are my promises, and I will keep them without fail. | 16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. |
17 All who trust in idols, who call images their gods, will be humiliated and disgraced." | 17 But those who trust in idols, who say to images, 'You are our gods,' will be turned back in utter shame. |
18 The Lord says, "Listen, you deaf people! Look closely, you that are blind! | 18 "Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see! |
19 Is anyone more blind than my servant, more deaf than the messenger I send? | 19 Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is blind like the one committed to me, blind like the servant of the LORD? |
20 Israel, you have seen so much, but what has it meant to you? You have ears to hear with, but what have you really heard?" | 20 You have seen many things, but have paid no attention; your ears are open, but you hear nothing." |
21 The Lord is a God who is eager to save, so he exalted his laws and teachings, and he wanted his people to honor them. | 21 It pleased the LORD for the sake of his righteousness to make his law great and glorious. |
22 But now his people have been plundered; they are locked up in dungeons and hidden away in prisons. They were robbed and plundered, with no one to come to their rescue. | 22 But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in pits or hidden away in prisons. They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them; they have been made loot, with no one to say, "Send them back." |
23 Will any of you listen to this? From now on will you listen with care? | 23 Which of you will listen to this or pay close attention in time to come? |
24 Who gave Israel up to the looters? It was the Lord himself, against whom we sinned! We would not live as he wanted us to live or obey the teachings he gave us. | 24 Who handed Jacob over to become loot, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the LORD, against whom we have sinned? For they would not follow his ways; they did not obey his law. |
25 So he made us feel the force of his anger and suffer the violence of war. Like fire his anger burned throughout Israel, but we never knew what was happening; we learned nothing at all from it. | 25 So he poured out on them his burning anger, the violence of war. It enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart. |

Just bought an Aussie grill. We had an extra LP tank left over from the previous house owners so I didn't mind not getting one with the grill. The tank has what I thought was the standard female coupling, but the grill's regulator also has a female end. Is an adapter missing? Is this something new? I have never seen a different style of LP tank coupling, so I'm puzzled.
The p.o.'s had gas run to the house just for a fireplace and grill (that's why they'd stashed the tank somewhere and forgot about it), and it makes me wonder - do LP grills burn natural gas with no conversion? That sure would be convenient! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The older style LP tanks do use an internal left handed thread. The new tanks all have the "OPD" (overfill protection device) and they also have an external right handed "worm" type thread. You have two options: get an adapter at Walmart for about $10.00 or, check the date on the old LP tank you have, if it is twelve years or older, then when you have it refilled they will require you to have it re-certified. It is probably cheaper for you in the long run just to do a tank exchange for about $16-$18 bucks. That way you are good for another twelve years. As far as your question about running the bbq on NG, it won't work without a conversion. LP gas is at a much greater pressure than NG so, consequently the orifices are smaller for LP than NG. You can check with Aussie and see if they offer an NG conversion kit. If not, you can attempt to drill out the orifices by hand. There are some places on this discussion board as well as others on the net that talk about how to do this. If you do that, you can also get a 12' Natural Gas hose with a quick disconnect on the end that would fit (maybe without an adapter) on your existing stub from your house and the bbq. I just picked one up from Home Depot. It was made by Char Broil in the accessory area. In either case good luck and happy grilling. bsbbq |
I've called around and found that the adapter does exist as you said, but Lowe's & H.D. don't have it. A grill specialty store in town has it and I think I'll get one tomorrow. I have a Coleman pole lamp which mounts directly to the tank, and hoses which run from it to other appliances (stove, etc.), so I'm not ready to completely change to the new connection yet. Since I generally don't use my grill and my camping gear at the same time, that might work out. In the long run, I might get a new tank some day, but I'm in no hurry. I hate it when they change a standard like that. |
Well, maybe I should have also mentioned that the new tanks also have the internal threads as well, so you can use them for new or old stuff. Sorry, I guess I left that out! Good luck, bsbbq |
If you haven't picked up your fitting at the specialty store yet look at Wal-Mart. I looked everywhere for this same fitting and only found it online for about $20. The Wal-Mart one cost me $7.96. |

When I got my Member Mark grill, it had the new style connector on the regulator. I had 4 old LP tanks that had the old style valves. Rather than getting the adaptor, I took the stub off the regulator from my old grill and replaced the new style connector on my new regulator with the old one. This way I did not have to buy 4 adaptors or change the adaptor from tank to tank. As of March??? (maybe April) old style tanks without the overfill protection cannot be filled in California. Wall Mart had (has?) an offer to exchange and empty tank with an old valve for a new Full tank for $16.00. This new tank has the outside and the inside threads so one would no longer need the adaptor for the old tank or to modify the new regulator to fit the older style thread. |

Find a pet to adopt |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Quincy, a Portland Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Portland, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Portland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Portland already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Portland breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Portland paves the way for another one to be saved.

Rescue Our Mill Pups (ROMP) is a private rescue organization located in Chicago.

We also rescue dogs from kill shelters, those relinquished by their owners and strays.No dog should spend its life living in a mill - especially not Italian Greyhounds who are among those who fare the worst under such conditions due to their soft, sweet dispositions and need to bond with their very own human companion. While our focus is Italian Greyhounds, you may see other breeds represented among our adoptable dogs from time to time simply because we could not leave them behind. While mill life is horrid, the dogs in those mills are not. They can be some of the sweetest, most loving dogs around. Please consider giving one a chance to live a normal, happy life.

My problem has to do with the new shoots emerging. The palm has been in the ground for 3 years now in the same spot and left alone to do it's thing. I rarely check on it until recently I noticed the new shoots are dying. There is one that tried to open, but was only able to open looking like a burnt and stunted shoot. While it moved to the side, the new shoot coming out is still a closed shoot but already showing signs of problem. The tip of it looks burnt and almost appears to be rotting or decaying. I do have a drip system which I removed for the time being thinking excessive water might be the culprit. I live in Central Florida were dry season is still on. I know its the season for little or no rain, but its been 90s consistently and we are super dry. What seems to be the problem? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds like cold damage and or wet and cold/cool weather that caused a fungus to grow in the bud. I would mix up some copper and pour into to bud or you can try peroxide in the bud. Cold damage can show up several months after it occurs.Pull slightly on the center spear a see if it comes out.I had one do this and it recovered very quickly. |

Dell challenges Psion's claim to Netbooks
Since the end of 2008, Psion has actively defended its copyright of the term netbook, with some success. Now Dell has issued court papers disputing the claim.
With its sales of Inspiron Mini 9, 10 and 12, Dell is effectively selling netbook devices without actually using the term "netbook" on its homepage. Nevertheless, Dell has started a Petition for Cancellation of Psion's trademark.
According to an article on PCPro, Psion declared before a court in 2006 that the company was continuing to market devices they called netbooks. Dell disputes this, and accuses Psion of making "false statements", thereby forfeiting Psion's claim to copyright of the term.
Dell obviously has a vested interest in the outcome of the petition. A new report by Laptopmag.com claims that Dell's netbook business is having considerable success. A third of purchases are Linux versions, and Dell is quite satisfied with the low return rates.

Roger Goodell strong on deflate-gate, weak on issues that matter most in protecting NFL integrity
Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 10 hrs agoPHOENIX – Roger Goodell was in over his head when it came to an issue that gravely impacted real people. But something innocuous like deflate-gate? That's right in the commissioner's wheelhouse.
The backbone Goodell lacked in dealing with domestic violence and concussions showed up instantly when he was asked in his annual state of the league news conference about the relatively trivial topic of football air pressure.
"This is my job," he announced on Friday. "My responsibility is to protect the game."
It was an appropriate retort to New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft's assertion that the league apologize if no chicanery is found in the NFL's investigation of deflated footballs in the AFC championship game. Goodell is right: he has nothing to apologize for. The rules are the rules, and even if no advantage was gleaned, illegal is illegal and should be punished. Even if the deflation wasn't intentional, this is worth investigating.
"I have to pursue that aggressively," Goodell said.
Goodell is great at driving the bulldozer. He's not very good at slamming on the brakes.
Even surprise HGH test can be viewed as disrespectful to Earl Thomas, Seahawks
Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 1 day agoPHOENIX – It wasn't so much a badge of honor as a bandage of dishonor.
Seattle safety Earl Thomas showed up at the Seahawks' media availability on Thursday with gauze wrapped around his right arm from a league blood test he got earlier in the morning. He was happy to show off the bandage; he was not happy about why it was there.
He tweeted:
Yesterday I said my shoulder was a 10 ... Wake up the next morning and I have a blood test for HGH .. League office distraction
The suggestion is that the league purposefully tested Thomas because of what he said about his shoulder on Wednesday. It's a serious charge, especially if no one else on either team was tested Thursday morning.
Thomas sat for the better part of an hour and took several questions about the tweet, and kept referring back to it. He neither elaborated nor backed down. "What you read is what it is," he said. Asked if he felt there shouldn't be testing during Super Bowl week, he said, "I don't want to get into that."

Deflate-gate triggers stat spat as analysts attempt to solve why Patriots don't fumble
Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 2 days agoPHOENIX – Maybe the smoking gun isn't in a bathroom at Gillette Stadium. Maybe it's in the laptop of a civil engineer in Washington, D.C.
One of the strangest twists in the already strange saga of deflate-gate is the sudden star turn of a man who runs a gambling website when he's not doing his day job. Warren Sharp is a 36-year-old dad who loves numbers and algorithms, and decided to apply some statistics to the Patriots when he heard about the football deflation investigation. What he found sent ripples through the sports world and got a few other statisticians pretty upset.
It also may have implications beyond Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
Sharp's idea was to look at fumbles. That led him to a more refined topic: how well the Patriots held onto the ball both before and after the 2006 season, which happened to be the year Brady and Peyton Manning pushed for a rule change which allowed each team to provide their own footballs for games.
"Something significant changed from 2006 to 2007 that allowed them to retain the football," Sharp said by phone Tuesday, "and that continues today."
That's hard to explain away.
Inspiration for Seahawks logo visits Seattle with assist from Patriots fan
Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 3 days agoFor years, the mask that inspired Seattle's beloved NFL team logo sat thousands of miles away. At one point during renovation, it was even placed in storage.
Gretchen Faulkner, director of the University of Maine's Hudson Museum, liked to show it off, leading guests away from the main halls and pointing it out. She called it "the Seahawks mask."
But people didn't really care.
"I wouldn't get much response," Faulkner says. "People were Patriot fans, so they were like, 'Yeah, sure.' "
She couldn't blame them; she was a Pats fan too.
It's possible that if not for this Pats fan and her staff, the gorgeous work of art that launched the Seahawks logo many years ago might still be in Maine, unbeknownst to the football fans who now come to see it. Instead, two curators from rival regions worked together to complete a mask's journey home from, of all places, Arizona – where the Seattle Seahawks will meet the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale on Feb. 1.
"There are certain teams in the league that can use better relations with Native people," Everson says. "I won't mention names."
Robert Allenby wants you to believe his kidnapping story even though he doesn't remember it himself
Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 3 days agoSCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Robert Allenby wants you to believe what happened to him on Jan. 16 even though he doesn't remember exactly what happened to him on Jan. 16.
So began another bizarre chapter in L'Affair Allenby.
"The No. 1 thing that you should all remember is that my story stays exactly the same as the way I told it," he insisted Tuesday at a press conference prior to this weekend's Waste Management Phoenix Open. Allenby stridently defended himself and took the media to task for doubting his story, which goes as follows:
After missing the cut at a tournament in Honolulu last month, Allenby said he went to a bar, had a few drinks, left the bar only to be knocked unconscious. He claimed he woke up in a park six miles away to two men kicking him. There, a homeless woman, along with a retired miltary man, chased away the assailants, told him he'd been dumped there from the trunk of a car, and helped Allenby get a cab back to his hotel.
At some point Allenby took a selfie of his injuries, which was broadcast on the Golf Channel, and the world honed in on his story.
Tiger's tooth is back, and so is his sense of humor
Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 3 days agoYour browser does not support iframes.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Tiger Woods' lost dominance may never return. His vanished tooth, though, is back. And so is his sense of humor.
Woods finished his nine-hole practice round at the TPC course here early Tuesday morning and met the media with a weapon as rare as his recent tournament appearances: zingers.
Tiger explained that he was at girlfriend Lindsey Vonn's recent ski race wearing a skeleton mask "so no one knew who I was, trying to blend in, because there's not a lot of brown dudes at ski races."
As for the missing tooth, which would probably be the most overcooked media story this week if not for deflate-gate, Woods insisted a cameraman did indeed hit him after the race and knocked it loose.
Woods kept the light vibe during a follow-up.
Asked why he thought people aren't buying the story, Woods simply said, "It is just what it is."
Tiger's ability on Tuesday to avoid being ruthless about being toothless is a much better look.
Exonerated of rape, Brian Banks now realizing NFL dream – in different capacity
Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 4 days agoIt's been nearly half a lifetime since Pete Carroll walked up to Brian Banks at Long Beach Poly High and said, "Hey, you can do something. You can be something."
Banks was 15 years old at the time, and to him, that message seemed clear: he had a future playing football.
But two years later, Banks became ensnared in an ordeal of injustice, anger and heartbreak that lasted a decade. On his way to possibly playing for Carroll at USC, Banks was wrongly accused of raping a girl at his high school. Rather than facing 41 years to life in prison if he fought the charges and lost, he pleaded guilty and was sent to prison for five years.
"I screamed and yelled and begged for people to help," Banks said Sunday by phone. "And even then no one listened."
Banks, now 29, was cleared and freed in May 2012 after serving five years of probation (in addition to the five years in prison) when his accuser recanted her story. He got a tryout from Carroll and the Seahawks, and then another from the Falcons. But it was too late for his original dream to come true.
So the challenge became about separating himself from his plight, and finding power over it.
Disgraceful NFL exit? Hardly for Super Bowl-bound LeGarrette Blount
Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 12 days agoFOXBOROUGH, Mass. – He was arrested. He was cut. Then he went to the Super Bowl.
"This is my first time winning anything," LeGarrette Blount said Sunday night, his eyes glimmering after a 30-carry, 148-yard, three-touchdown game against the Indianapolis Colts here. "We never won [high school] states. We never won the national championship at Oregon."
Now his new team, and his old team, had won an AFC championship trophy. Blount picked a couple of strips of confetti out of the base of the silverware, then held it in his hand as he stood in front of his locker. He had been grinning for a good 45 minutes, smiling wider when asked about going from the outs with the Pittsburgh Steelers to the star of the show in a championship game.
"It's a blessing that I ended up here," he said.
LeGarrette Blount with the Lamar Hunt trophy. pic.twitter.com/CyKNUcJyFX
"If you don't want to be here, don't be here," Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey told reporters at the time. "He had a decision to make as a man, and he made it. You know the consequences."
"Can't beat that."
Why Cardale Jones' decision to return to Ohio State may be the right move
Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 15 days agoInstead of cashing in, Cardale Jones went all in.
The 22-year-old overnight pro prospect called a press conference Thursday to announce what he described on Twitter as a "life-changing decision." Most everyone figured the Buckeyes quarterback would bolt for the pros after the best three-game NFL audition in college football history. But just when cynicism seems to dominate the sports landscape, a glimpse of idealism shows up. Jones said he wasn't ready to leave, and he wanted to get his degree. He made a major bet on himself.
"It's everybody's dream when they play a collegiate sport to make it to the next level," Jones said in a very short press event. "At my point in my career, I feel like it's best for me to go back to school and one of the most important things for me is to graduate."
Sure, there's reason to think this was as calculated as cold hard cash: Jones thinks he can stay at Ohio State for a year and then get selected at the very top of the draft instead of in the second or third round. But consider the risks, and the self-belief Jones needed to stay in Columbus.
It's Boom (Herron) or bust for Colts against favored Patriots
Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 16 days agoBeating Peyton Manning in Denver was a supreme feat for Andrew Luck, so it's hard for a lot of people to imagine following that up with a victory against Tom Brady in New England.
The rapidly ascending Colts quarterback might have a fairly simple way to do it, though.
Hand off to Daniel "Boom" Herron eight times.
Indianapolis is 8-0 this season, including two playoff victories, when Herron has eight rushing attempts or more. In all five of the Colts' losses, Herron had seven attempts or fewer. That includes New England's 42-20 maiming of the Colts on Nov. 16, in which Herron had no carries at all.
Too simplistic? Maybe, but each team's ground game has changed since the Patriots' win in Indianapolis. Jonas Gray, who trampled a sieve-like Colts' defense for 201 yards and four touchdowns, wasn't even active against the Baltimore Ravens last Saturday. The Patriots had 14 rushing yards against Baltimore, with Tom Brady taking the lion's share of rushing attempts with six.

New Zealand's sharemarket has started strongly after a third straight day of gains on Wall Street.
At about 11am the benchmark NZX50 index was up 27.587 points to 2519.211, a 1.1% gain.
Most major stocks are up, with Telecom rising 5c to $2.40, Contact Energy gaining 8c to move to $5.68 and Fletcher Building moving up 7c to $5.38.
NZX is up 13c to $5.75, Rakon is up 7c to $1.04, and TelstraClear is up 15c to $4.10.
Sky Television and Sky City are both up 4c, to $3.85 and $2.70 respectively.
The market has reacted positively to the Warehouse's half-year profit announcement, with shares in the retailer up 5c to $3.50.
Stocks making losses early on include Air New Zealand, down 2c to 84c, Port of Tauranga, down 1c to $5.15, Tower, down 1c to $1.33, and Westpac, down 5c to $21.
Yesterday's relatively small cut in the Official Cash Rate, which dropped it 50 basis points to 3%, has had a positive effect on the New Zealand dollar, which is currently trading at just over US52c.

Hello fellow gardenweb members.
We have a pergola over a cement patio and I have been thinking about adding clear fiberglass panels over the top to: 1. Cover for rain/leaves. We never get to sit out on the patio because of the mess the neighbors trees leave on our patio. It is very unsightly and I have problems keeping it cleaned off. 2. We would sit out on the patio more often, but it is in the sun most of the day. While the clear won't give us shade, it would be nice to be able to sit out there when it is raining. 3. I wanted to use the clear fiberglass because it won't be noticeable. I believe if I put a real top on the pergola, it would be considered as a porch and I would have to pay more for property taxes. Any help/comments would be appreciated. |

are you asked for help on how to do this or whether you should do this? Even if you use clear panels, the 2' x ?' sections will overlap and be somwhat unsightly. I am assuming you are using the wavy fiberglass panels you get at HD or Lowes. Have you thought of using acrylic/plexi flat panels? Is the pergola sloped or flat? You would have to consider snow loads in the winter either way. I would think that the city would consider any covered outdoor area a porch, if it is attached to the house. I don't think that the material used for the roof would matter. |
we had the same problem with our deck. We used the 2x6 wavy panels-they were grey, but the sun frosted them. We did have them on a slope to the yard (not house) and used the wavy wood supports, and just used caulk and overlap to make them 8' long. the sun still came through the side on the south side, so put up a cheap horitontal blind, and lowered it when sitting outside. it becameour favorite spot to see the yard in comfort & read the paper. |
I'd also recommend you go with polycarbonate (lexan). Fiberglass will cloud pretty quickly. Polycarb is what most greenhouses go with when they want a rigid structure. My solarium has polycarb panels and it's five years and running, and still is clear as a bell. (easy to work with, as well) |
Polycarbonate!! It is a little more expensive, but fiberglass will cloud and break in hail. PVC is a little better than fiberglass, but will also break in small hail. Trust me, I've had all three... Polycarbonate is best. -Taylor |

wait- I thought that the whole purpose of a pergola was to train a wisteria over to provide shade? or a trumpet vine, since you're trying to cut down on the shed debris- and wisterias are MESSY during blooming season! but a living roof- even morning glories- would provide shade, some protection from your neighbor's tree debris, and look a whole lot better than fiberglass. |

Can you post a picture ? That would really help. |
Hi- Me, again. In response to the post by chinacat... I have a concrete floored porch with a clear polycarbonate roof. I also have vines climbing up the porch poles. With a clear polycarbonate roof, you can have the best of both...a living roof and a water proof roof. I let the vines climb over the top to offer shade and the clear roof allows the sunshine to come through to get the vines growing. The roof itself, protects us and the porch furniture from getting wet. It is a wonderful spot to sit in, especially when it rains! -Taylor |
This is the pergola we built. It is not attached to my house and the taxes are minimal. We love it. |
If you just need something to keep the leaves etc off the patio area, why don't you just cover the top with the mesh you use for screens. You can buy it on a roll. It will not really give you any shade as such, or keep you dry, but is probably the least expensive way to solve the leaf problem |
Thanks to all who have suggested ways to accomplish my idea of covering my pergola. When thinking of what I want most out of this space, I would say being able to sit out back in any weather (rain or shine)along with not having to contend with neighbor leaves constantly. I did intend to grow some old fashioned wisteria over the pergola, but somehow I misplaced the seeds. Using both the fiberglass along with the vines sounds like an awesome idea and would certainly hide the fact that it has a cover on it at the same time. And if covered, it would not matter that the fiberglass was discolored. As for whether it will slope or not: as of now, the pergola is actually flat on top, but we would definitely have to find a way to rais up the side attached to house in order to allow for run-off. Thanks again everyone! Oh, and I will certainly take a picture of the pergola to post. |

These are some great ideas for making use of this awesome feature on our deck. Taylor TX: Did you grow the vine over the polycarbonate roof or just underneath it? And to anyone - how long does it take for the Wisteria to grow up and actually cover the pergola enough to doe some good? Finally, how much does the polycarbonate cost? Thanks!! |

Apprentice rider Jonathan Gonzales returned to the Calder Casino & Race Course jockey's room unharmed on Saturday, less than 24 hours after being thrown to the track when his mount Lil John Paul stumbled badly in Friday's final race.
"Not even a scratch," Gonzales' agent Marcelo Castro reported Saturday morning. "He doesn't have a single scratch. In fact, he was here at 5 a.m. to work horses; he worked five today."
Following the spill, Gonzales was immediately attended to by on-track medical personnel and was taken to nearby Memorial Hospital for further observation where the rider was subsequently given clearance to return to the track Saturday.
"I told him to go ahead and take the morning off and that he could just ride the afternoon," Castro said. "But he wanted no part of that. He told me 'no, no, no, I need to be there and let my trainers know that I am alright.' The kid is fearless."
Gonzales won the first race of his career at Gulfstream Park on April 7 and has enjoyed great success at Calder, winning with 14 of his 77 starters to ascend to fourth in the jockey's table. On Saturday, Gonzales was feted with May Jockey of the Month honors at Calder.
"I think he's one of the best seven-pound apprentices I've seen in a long while," Castro continued. "And he's so humble. That's one of the reasons I took him; he's such a good person. And he's going to be a really good rider."
Also involved in Friday's last-race incident was jockey Orlando Bocachica, whose mount Solar d'Oro fell trying to avoid Lil John Paul.
Calder clerk of scales Luis Martinez confirmed on Saturday that Bocachica suffered a displaced fracture of the collarbone and that the journeyman rider will be sidelined for several weeks. Bocachica is currently third in the jockey standings with 16 wins.
Track veterinarian Dr. Patricia Marquis reported that both horses returned from the accident unscathed.
Apprentice jockey Hugo Sanchez visited the winner's circle for the fifth time in his young career on Friday after guiding Our Redemption through the wire first in the afternoon's fifth race for trainer Javier Negrete.
With that victory, the 20-year-old Peruvian native shed his 10-pound apprentice allowance in favor of a seven-pound weight break.
Sanchez tallied his first career victory at Calder on April 19.
Jockey Joe Rodriguez and trainer Kirk Ziadie, both sitting second in their respective tables, paired up to win the first two races of the day on Friday, capturing the opener with He's Spectacular before returning to take race two with Char Lena Jo. The overwhelmingly popular Ziadie and Rodriguez daily double returned a mere $4.40.
Entering the Saturday program at Calder, the team of Ziadie and Rodriguez had accounted for five winners from just eight starts.

Emissions Reduction Issues (Released June 1999)
There is concern that human activities are affecting the heat/energy-exchange balance between Earth, the atmosphere, and space, and inducing global climate change. Human activities, particularly burning of fossil fuels, have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and other trace greenhouse gases. If these gases continue to accumulate in the atmosphere at current rates, many believe global warming would occur through intensification of Earth's natural heat-trapping "greenhouse effect." Possible impacts might be seen as both positive and negative. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) Issue Brief for Congress, Global Climate Change (March 29, 1999) details many of the issues and legislation related to global climate change.
The possibility that human activities are releasing gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), at rates that could affect global climate has resulted in proposals for national programs to curtail emissions. The concern about costs has encouraged consideration of CO2 reduction proposals that employ market-based mechanisms. The two mechanisms receiving the most attention are a tradeable permit program (similar to the acid rain program) and carbon taxes. These are reviewed in the CRS Issue Brief, Market-Based Strategies to Reduce Greenhouse Gases (May 3, 1999). A summary of emission trading can be found in the CRS Report, Air Quality and Emissions Trading: An Overview of Current Issues (March 9, 1999).
Since the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions is the combustion of fossil fuels for energy production to power a wide variety of end-uses, a great deal of emphasis is put on the impact of meeting emission reduction targets on those end-uses, such as automobiles, space heating, and industrial process heat. This is discussed in the CRS Report, Carbon Emissions and End-use Energy Demand (January 20, 1999). However, environmental concern is stressed in the CRS Report, Electricity Restructuring: The Implications for Air Quality (July 10, 1998). As electricity generation is a major source of air pollution as well as of greenhouse gases, this report examines the potential risks to the environment arising from electricity restructuring.

There is concern that human activities are affecting the heat/energy-exchange balance between Earth, the atmosphere, and space, and inducing global climate change. Human activities, particularly burning of fossil fuels, have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and other trace greenhouse gases. If these gases continue to accumulate in the atmosphere at current rates, many believe global warming would occur through intensification of Earth's natural heat-trapping "greenhouse effect." Possible impacts might be seen as both positive and negative.
A warmer climate would probably have far reaching effects on agriculture and forestry, managed and un-managed ecosystems, including natural habitats, human health, water resources, and sea level depending on climate responses. Regional agricultural practices could change, yield stabilities might decrease in some regions, and survival over winter of some insect pests might increase. Forest productivity might decline in some regions; and changes in climate, when added to other environmental stressors, could produce major regional disturbances. Some climate modification, e.g., in northernmost growing regions, is thought to be beneficial for agriculture however.
Although causal relationships between projected long-range global climate trends and record-setting warmth and severe weather events of the past two decades have not been firmly established, attention has been focused on possible extremes of climate change and the need for better understanding of climate processes to improve climate model forecasts. The basic policy question is: Given scientific uncertainties about the magnitude, timing, rate, and regional consequences of potential climatic change, what are the appropriate responses for world decision makers?
Fossil-fuel combustion is the primary source of CO2 emissions, and also emits other "greenhouse" gases. Removing these gases after combustion is a technical challenge and imposes economic penalties. Policy options to curb emissions, so far, have stressed energy efficiency and conservation, sequestering of atmospheric CO2, market-oriented strategies such as carbon taxes, emissions trading, switching to less CO2-intensive fuels, and substituting renewable and nuclear energy. A warmer climate might also result in less energy consumption during winter months.
Congress has reviewed scientific information about climate change to evaluate potential economic and strategic impacts of a warmer, and perhaps more variable, climate to formulate policy responses. Because of the global implications of this problem, concerns are addressed internationally through direct communication between U.S. decision makers and world leaders, participation in international conferences, passage of legislation, and exchange of views and information with international organizations within and outside the United Nations system.
The 1992 U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change called for a "non-binding" voluntary aim for industrialized countries to control atmospheric concentrations of green-house gases by stabilizing their emissions at 1990 levels by the year 2000. The 1997 U.N. Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change goes further and, if it were to enter into force, would commit world governments to legally binding emissions reductions.
The possibility that human activities are releasing gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), at rates that could affect global climate has resulted in proposals for national programs to curtail emissions. An international framework for specific reductions in greenhouse gases was negotiated at a meeting in Kyoto in December 1997. Concern about costs has encouraged consideration of CO2 reduction proposals that employ market-based mechanisms. The passage in 1990 of a tradeable allowance system for sulfur dioxide (SO2) control in the United States provides a precedent for such mechanisms.
The two mechanisms receiving the most attention are a tradeable permit program (similar to the acid rain program) and carbon taxes. Proposed CO2 reduction schemes present large uncertainties in terms of the perceived reduction needs and the potential costs of achieving those reductions. Tradeable permit programs would reduce CO2 emissions to a specific level with the control cost handled efficiently, but not at a specific cost level. Carbon taxes would effectively cap marginal control costs at the specific tax level, but the precise level of CO2 achieved would be less certain. Hence, a major policy question is whether one is more concerned about the possible cost of the program and therefore willing to accept some uncertainty about emission reduction in order to have some limits on costs (i.e., carbon taxes) or whether one is more concerned about achieving a specific emission reduction level with costs handled efficiently, but not capped (i.e., tradeable permits).
The specific effects of both a carbon tax and tradeable permit program would depend on the specific levy (carbon tax) or allocation scheme (tradeable permit) chosen, the scope of the program, the timing of the reductions, and the recycling of any revenues.
In addition, many tradeable permit proposals include provisions allowing countries to accumulate permits by reducing emissions in other countries. This scheme, called joint implementation, was approved in principle at the Kyoto conference in December.
The climate change issue and CO2 control raise numerous equity issues. In one sense, climate change is a concern about intergenerational equity -- i.e., the well-being of the current generation versus generations to come. On a global level, the issue also involves the North-South debate. At the domestic level, equity questions include the regional distribution of costs under a tradeable permit or carbon tax scheme. For example, an important impact of either a carbon tax based on the carbon content of fossil fuels or a tradeable permit program would be the pressure for fuel shifts away from coal and toward gas. Regions such as fast-growing areas in need of more energy and owners of "all electric" homes, among others, would likely be disproportionately hit by a CO2 control scheme. In addition, people may be affected differently according to income class. These issues, however, have not been sufficiently analyzed at the current time to be sure of how various sectors would be affected.
Emission trading is a market-based alternative to conventional regulation in which sources facing high costs to control pollution have the flexibility to meet their emission limits by purchasing excess reductions from other sources that can afford to lower their emissions further than federal or state regulations require. Currently, a trading program is being implemented at the federal level to reduce acid rain. At the state level, California is operating a trading program to assist the Los Angles area in complying with the federal air quality standard for ozone. Although specific savings are difficult to estimate, initial monitoring data indicate that these program likely have reduced overall emissions at lower costs than conventional regulations have done. Their early success has encouraged the consideration of trading to address similar air quality issues, including regional problems with ozone transportation, possible increases in pollution if electric utility is restructured, and proposals to reduce greenhouse gases as would be required by the Kyoto Protocol. Whether trading would be effective in addressing these issues depends largely on program design, implementation, enforcement, and accurate monitoring data to verify that transactions between pollution sources represent actual reductions in emissions. This report will be updated as developments occur.
The United Nations (Kyoto) Protocol on greenhouse gas emission reductions sets a target for the United States to achieve annual emissions of six greenhouse gases, as measured in terms of their equivalency to carbon dioxide, over the 2008-2012 period that are 7% below specified baseline years. The largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions is the combustion of fossil fuels for energy production to power a wide variety of end-uses such as automobiles, space heating, and industrial process heat. This report presents an analysis of the potential impacts of meeting the Kyoto Protocol targets on those end-uses.
Demand for each energy source is calculated using Energy Information Administration (EIA) data and forecasts for 1996, 2008, and 2012 for 27 common end-uses making up the four major sectors: residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation. Carbon emissions are then determined using carbon-emission coefficients for each fossil fuel. Finally, energy demand reduction requirements are calculated by applying the Kyoto Protocol target of a 7% reduction in carbon emissions from 1990 levels to the 2008 carbon emission levels for each end-use.
Based on EIA forecasts, by 2008, total carbon emissions from energy use by the 27 end-uses is calculated to be 1,721 million metric tons carbon-equivalent (MMTCE) compared to 1,464 MMTCE in 1996. Five end-uses -- light duty vehicles (primarily automobiles, sport utility vehicles, small trucks, and vans), freight trucks, residential miscellaneous (small appliances and outdoor machinery), industrial machine drive, and miscellaneous commercial (communications and information equipment) -- would comprise over 70% of the 1996-2008 increase in carbon emissions.
The Kyoto Protocol target would require average carbon emissions of 1,252 MMTCE from the 27 end-uses over the 2008-2012 period if it were applied uniformly to all sources of greenhouse gases. In this case, energy demand for each of the end-uses would have to decline by about 28.7% below the levels now forecast for 2008. Further, resultant energy demand for each of the end-uses would be about 20%, on average, below the actual 1996 values. Finally, on average, the required reductions from the current 2012 forecast would be about 31%.
Reductions of that magnitude would require substantial increases in energy efficiency, above those already forecast, and/or significant reductions in the services provided by a given end-use. For example, if the target were to be met solely by increases in efficiency, the average fuel economy of the light duty vehicle fleet would have to grow from the current forecast value of about 20.3 miles per gallon (mpg) to over 29 mpg by 2008. If the reduction were to be met solely by driving less, annual passenger car (passenger cars consume about 70% of the fuel used by light duty vehicles) travel would have to drop from the current forecast of 14,500 miles per car to about 10,300 miles per car. Such actions would be a substantial undertaking and consumers are likely to feel significant effects from any strategy that is used to try to meet the Kyoto Protocol targets.
Electricity generation is a major source of air pollution as well as of greenhouse gases. As a result, changes in the electric utility industry raise concern about environmental consequences. Such changes are currently in the offing, both from new generating and transmission technologies and from shifting policy perspectives with respect to competition and regulation. Whether legislation to restructure the industry should include environmental protections has become an issue. Several bills have been introduced in the 105th Congress to incorporate such protections into any federal restructuring legislation.
This paper reviews the changes now underway in the utility industry from the perspective of their environmental implications specifically, the potential for electric utility restructuring to increase emissions of air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act (CAA) and of greenhouse gases that could be affected by the Kyoto agreement to address climate change. The paper is divided into six parts.
-- The Overview provides background on the electric utility industry and current restructuring efforts, the industry's emissions, and the fundamental argument with respect to current restructuring activities and potential air pollutant effects. It identifies electricity demand and air quality regulation as critical to determining air emission impacts from electricity restructuring.
-- The Utility Industry examines the electricity demand component in more detail. Estimating electricity demand increases in the short- to mid-term and discussing the implications of transmission capacity for interregional electricity transfers, the analysis suggests that restructuring may encourage current trends among utilities to renovate a sizeable amount of existing coal- fired electricity, which generally produces more air pollution and greenhouse gases than alternative kinds of electricity generation.
-- Environmental Regulation provides background on current air pollution regulations affecting electric utilities and on the resulting complex system of federal and state, pollutant-by- pollutant controls. It discusses regulatory implications for existing capacity and new construction, noting that while the CAA has historically focused on new construction in applying its most stringent standards, several current and prospective regulations would significantly increase controls on existing, coal-fired facilities. It also notes that an increasingly competitive generating market may present significant challenges to the state- directed environmental regimen of the CAA. The Effects of Restructuring and Environmental Actions on Emissions analyzes the cost-effectiveness of existing coal-fired facilities versus new construction and the environmental effects of increased utilization of existing coal-fired facilities. The analysis indicates that renovating existing coal-fired facilities is generally very cost-effective compared with new, less polluting construction, pointing to a potential for increasing emissions of some air pollutants, especially nitrogen oxides, depending on regulatory actions, and of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, which is not regulated.
-- Assessing the Impacts of Restructuring examines the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's attempt to estimate the environmental impacts of introducing competition into the wholesale electricity market, and reactions to that analysis. It notes the considerable difficulties in attempting to isolate the potential impact on emissions of restructuring the electricity generation from other technological and policy trends occurring in the industry.
The Conclusion reviews possible responses to potential risks to the environment arising from electricity restructuring. Critical issues are: (1) For conventional air pollutants, whether the existing regulatory regimen will work effectively as the industry structure changes; for some pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, a nationwide emissions "cap" seems secure, but for others, particularly nitrogen oxides, the state-led implementation process may find it difficult to cope with increasingly regional utility industry and environmental challenges. And (2) for greenhouse gases, any controls are contingent on future ratification of the Kyoto Agreement to curtail emissions and on domestic implementation legislation.
