Cut out the carbon middleman
The opposition by the Republicans to the idea of carbon trading is a bit baffling, given that it is a classic Wall Street-driven solution for dealing with a serious problem.
Sure, carbon trading, which is the centerpiece of the Obama administration-backed American Clean Energy and Security Act, would carry a cost for consumers and companies that emit too much in greenhouse gases. But the economic impact of the bill's so-called cap-and-trade scheme would be modest — costing the average household $175 a year in added expenses, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
What's actually more baffling is President Obama's infatuation with this trading scheme, which will benefit the global environment, but will also fatten the wallets of Wall Street traders. A simple tax on polluters and carbon producers would get the job done without the kind of wealth transfer to the gilded class that Republicans generally support.
It's easy to see why Wall Street, which has been waiting for carbon trading to ignite in the United States, favors the measure.
The bill would impose a hard cap on carbon emissions for all U.S. companies. But it would permit businesses that produce less carbon emissions to sell "credits" to companies that exceed the cap — hence the name cap-and-trade. The legislation calls for the carbon credits to be traded on regulated exchanges and that, of course, is where Wall Street comes in.
Wall Street trading desks will make money from handling both ends of the cap-and-trade transactions. Yet it's not too hard to imagine that there are some Wall Street bankers already dreaming up some newfangled "green-friendly" investment product that will capitalize on this trade, which can then be peddled to retail investors.
Cap-and-trade just might be the shot in the arm that the ailing structured finance market needs. Is that the kind of "green jobs" we really want?
Another obvious winner from the passage of a cap-and-trade bill will be the Chicago Climate Exchange, which has struggled to find a market since it opened for business in 2003. The Green Exchange, a soon-to-launch trading platform being built by CME Group's NYMEX division also should get at jolt.
The hedge fund industry is looking to catch the green wave, as well. Da Vinci Invest Ltd. of Switzerland, for instance, recently began raising money for its carbon-trading Green Falcon Fund.
But a so-called carbon tax on companies based on the level of greenhouse gases their products produce would cut out the Wall Street middleman altogether. A carbon tax also would make greenhouse gas pariahs, like gas-guzzling cars, cost a lot more. And that's something that would immediately impact consumer behavior.
Selling a carbon tax, however, would take political courage because of that dreaded three-letter word. And sadly that kind of courage is in short supply in Washington.
Update: The House narrowly passed the Obama-backed bill with the cap and trade provision by a seven-vote margin. Passing the bill was better than defeating it and having nothing on the table–the option seemingly preferred by the Republicans. It's wishful thinking that in the Senate the cap and trade could be converted into a straight carbon tax, but you never know.

Senators: We strongly urge you to vote "NO" to theCap & Trade Climate and Energy Bill.
The final Climate and Energy Bill passed the House so diluted with special interest bribes that It defeats what was represented to be its original objectives. Have you read the over 1,000 pages of the bill on which you are asked to sign? Cap & Trade is a prime example of the legislation which has been rushed through from the inception of the economic downtown with dire consequences to your constituents whom you are elected to represent.
While avoiding the underlying question, the proposed legislation would have a trivial effect on global warming while imposing substantial costs to the American householders. While avoiding the underlying question, the proposed legislation would have a trivial effect on global warming while imposing substantial costs to the American householders. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that its resulting increase in consumer required to achieve l5% CO2 reduction will raise the cost of living initially by $1600 per year per household with future costs significantly higher. Higher prices will relate to every manufactured goods, companies moving offshore, resulting in fewer jobs and higher unemployment WITH LITTLE EFFECT ON GLOBAL WARMING.
What effects does Cab & Trade have?
1. It interferes with positive solutions to Global Warming/ Solving global warming means solving how to keep most remaining fossel fuels in the ground.
2. It squanders resources and ingenuity on the wrong things. t squanders resources and ingenuity on the wrong things. S. Korea, the firm of Rhodia has profited 30% more selling carbon credits with NO GAINS.
3. It requires knowledge we don't have and interferes with positive solutions to Global Warming.. Progressive California calls carbon training a "charade to continue business as usual." – more construction of new fossel fuel fired power plants instead of focusing on building a green economy to provide new jobs for power communities.
4. It is based on faith not experience. Carbon trading – the centerpiece of the Kyoto Protocol and Europe's response to climate change – the EU Emissions Trading Scheme has FAILED.
5. Cap & Trade is Antidemocratic.
WHO BENEFITS? Who Benefits? Big fossel fuel using companies; hedge funds, commodities traders, banks and law firms, i.e. ENRON, WorldCom, LTCM and the subprime mortgage market.
WHO LOSES? Once again – the American people. Cap and Trade is likely to be the biggest tax in American history.

You are right on…hedge funds and Goldman will benefit from all of this. But look at the companies you mentioned Enron, WorldCOm they went broke. These trading vehicles derivatives brought us down in the first place and the administration is pushing more of this nonsense.

Family or internal medicine physician: Who's right for you?
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Are you confused about whether an internal medicine physician (also known as an internist) or a family medicine physician is right for you? Don't worry—you aren't alone.
Internal medicine and family medicine physicians are both known as primary care providers (PCP) meaning they treat common medical problems that people have. Your PCP usually is involved with your care for a long time and will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle, treat common medical issues, and direct you to other physicians for specialty care, as needed.
"Both internal medicine and family medicine physicians treat a wide array of health issues," explained Dr. Jessica Butts, a family and sports medicine physician with Middle Tennessee Medical Group. "The major difference between the two specialties is that internists do not treat young children because their training is concentrated exclusively on adults."
Many internists focus their practice on a particular area or condition. Examples include:
- Adolescent medicine
- Allergy and immunology
- Cardiology (heart)
- Endocrinology (diabetes and other glandular disorders)
- Gastroenterology (colon and intestinal tract)
- Geriatrics (care of the elderly)
- Hematology (blood)
- Infections disease
- Nephrology (kidneys)
- Oncology (cancer)
- Pulmonology (lungs)
- Rheumatology (arthritis)
- Sports medicine
Deciding whether an internist or a family medicine physician is right for you depends on the type of experience you are seeking. Patients who want one physician to treat their entire family may prefer to select a family medicine physician as their primary care provider. Otherwise, either a family physician or a general internist is great choice to provide primary care. No matter who you choose, the most important decision is to designate someone you feel comfortable with as your primary care provider.

Interviews with Innovators spotlights local brewing success
September 30, 2013
The Brewing industry will be highlighted in A-B Tech Community College's monthly program, "Interviews with Innovators," featuring interviews with area professionals and A-B Tech alumni who will speak on the inside story on how they achieved their success.
Hosted by A-B Tech's Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences, Jon R. Wiener, Ph.D., the next installment will be at noon, Friday, October 4, in Ferguson Auditorium on the Asheville campus. Mike Rangel, President of Asheville Pizza and Brewing, and Jeff Irvin, A-B Tech's Brewmaster, will be the panelists during the one-hour session.
Rangel moved to Asheville in 1995 and opened Asheville Pizza Company. In 1998, he expanded into a location with an existing brewery and called it Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company. He has opened a second location downtown primarily as a brewery, focused on the brand "Asheville Brewing Company" and has the number one selling packaged craft brew in Asheville - the "Shiva IPA". He founded Asheville Brewers Alliance and served as its president for two years.
Irvin was selected as A-B Tech's Brewmaster in July 2013. Graduating with a degree in biology from Iowa State, he enrolled in the University of California - Davis Master Brewers program. After completing, he became the Master Brewer for Olde Main Brewing Company in Ames, Iowa.
Irvin has been charged with instructing and supervising curriculum and non-curriculum students and monitoring the College's brewing facilities and equipment. A-B Tech's new two-year Associate of Applied Science degree in Brewing, Distillation and Fermentation offers students the opportunity to experience the hands-on production side off the industry along with the skills required to market/distribute and manage brewing facilities and products.
The remaining program for the fall semester will be a panel of non-profit leaders on November 1. All sessions are free and open to the public.

COLDWATER — The New Bremen Cardinals had help from their bench and managed a second half comeback to defeat the New Knoxville Rangers 49-45 Tuesday in the first game of the Division IV sectional tournament held at the Palace in Coldwater.
LIMA — The tournament offers up opportunities for unlikely heroes. St. Marys found one deep on its bench.
That big lift and a run to start the second half has the St. Marys boys basketball team moving on the Division II sectional tournament at Lima Senior.
Tyler Sullivan scored 16 points off the bench and a 9-0 spurt in the third quarter keyed St. Marys' 64-58 win over the Shawnee Indians on Tuesday night.
COLDWATER — When shots aren't falling, the New Knoxville girls basketball team has a pretty good safety net in a defense that shuts down opponents and a player like Haley Horstman who can create quality shots off the dribble.
Far from an offensive masterpiece, the Rangers team again showed they're more than capable of winning a low-scoring affair to capture a Division IV sectional title with a 47-32 win over Fort Recovery on Saturday night.
LIMA — The St. Marys girls bowling team finished as the district runner-up and will compete at the OHSAA state bowling championships this weekend in Columbus while senior Kristen Dammeyer was the top bowler with a 608 series.
St. Marys finished second with a final team score of 3,529 pins. Coldwater won the district title with a score of 3.680. Napoleon (3,433) and Port Clinton (3,391) also advance to state.
CANTON — Jared Deubler finished off his record-setting swimming career at St. Marys Memorial with a 14th-place finish in the 100 yard backstroke at the Division II state swimming championships on Friday.
Deubler, who advanced to the B Final after finishing 10th in the preliminaries on Thursday night at the C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton, turned in a 55.06-second time on Friday — about seven-tenths of a second off his time in the prelims.
VAN WERT — St. Marys junior center Quinn Zaerr controlled everything inside the paint on Friday as he put up 28 points and 11 rebounds, but Van Wert padlocked the perimeter defensively in its 60-51 victory over the Roughriders in the Western Buckeye League and regular season finale.
Zaerr's career night wasn't enough to keep up with an energized Van Wert team that spit fire after losing back-to-back games last weekend to Wapakoneta and Delphos Jefferson.
New Knoxville senior point guard Haley Horstman won her third straight Midwest Athletic Conference Player of the Year award when the girls all-conference lists were released on Monday night.
Horstman is just the second player in conference history to win the award three times. Marion Local's Maria Moeller won it in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
ST. MARYS — The shots didn't fall and the St. Marys boys basketball just didn't bring the energy on a wintry Monday night.
The Riders' five-game winning streak came to an abrupt end against the zone defense of the Coldwater Cavaliers in a 47-34 fashion.
St. Marys senior Jared Deubler's 54.85-second time in the 100 backstroke was good enough to qualify him for a return to the Division II OHSAA state swimming championships. Deubler, who finished fifth at the district meet on Friday night at Cleveland State, will make his third trip to state in his career.
Deubler will join teammate Madison Taylor, who will compete in the girls diving meet after her second-place finish at the district diving meet at Oak Harbor last week.
"Put on a hat!" St. Marys boys basketball coach Dan Hegemier bellowed out at Nathan Wilker as the junior exited Memorial High School after a 67-59 win against the defending Division III state champ Ottawa-Glandorf.
It was the most forceful instruction Hegemier had to give out Friday night. As the St. Marys boys basketball team gains confidence, Hegemier can do less steering and let his athletes do their thing on the court.
The Roughriders improvised their way to a fourth straight win by answering every O-G rally with one of their own.

ST. JOHNSBURY- The North Country Union softball team lost 5-4 as they visited St. Johnsbury Academy Tuesday evening for the first round of play-offs. ŌĆ£We need to beat the teams we can beat,ŌĆØ said NCU coach LeslieDunn in a post-game interview. ŌĆ£We handed too many away this year. ItŌĆÖs the little things.ŌĆØ For the full story see the Express on 6-4-14.
NEWPORT-The North Country Falcons wrapped up their regular season on Saturday with a doubleheader against first Rice, and then second St. Johnsbury. While neither game went the way the Falcons would have wanted, what did happen was a fine display of just how far this year's team has advanced from the teams that have recently come before them. "I thought the effort was good," said NCU coach Brian Bonvechio. "In the second game I thought we played hard, we had a couple of physical mistakes, errors, but those are going to happen, you can't eliminate those so I have nothing to complain about.
ORLEANS- In an efficient five innings, Lake Region baseball defeated guest Danville Friday afternoon before the umpires called the game early due to thunder and rain. Josh Locke took the mound for the home squad and continued a productive season by doing what he is supposed to: throw strikes. The defense behind him would worry about the rest. To see the rest of the story, see the Express on 6-2-14.
ORLEANS-North Country's Katie Goulet took home home the individual top spot, but it was the Lake Region team coming in first place at the Orleans Country Club on Thursday afternoon. Goulet shot a match-low of 45, but the Lady Rangers' Olivia King (48) and Celeste Lussier (49) were right behind her and combined to score a 97 to give the host team the win. Becky Doucet had a season-best score of 60 for Lake Region. North Country's Paige Gagnon shot a 57, which along with Goulet's 45 gave the Falcons a team score of 102.
ORLEANS- You might not think a team with a 6-9 record would head into the play-offs with as much optimism as the Lake Region Rangers softball team. But rarely is a 6-9 team playing with as much confidence as this batch is at the end of the regular season. The Rangers finished their regular season this past week with the unenviable task of playing four games in four days, splitting the quartet of contests. For the full story, see the Express on 6-2-14.
NEWPORT-North Country softball fought until the final play Saturday afternoon as they hosted and lost to a strong team from St. Johnsbury Academy. The first inning was a rather dry one. Taylor Blake took the circle for NCU, finding the zone as the guests managed some weak contact. Maddie Mosher fielded the first hit and hurled the ball to first for the initial out. She fielded the second as well, flipping the ball to second to get one more on a force. St. JŌĆÖs Margret Fogarty hit a far foul ball to right that would be caught by Brittany Verge for three.
NEWPORT-In an overtime thriller, North Country Union baseball lost 6-5 to a strong Champlain Valley squad. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve always thought we could play with the best,ŌĆØ head coach Brian Bonvechio said after the loss. ŌĆ£I think this game proved it.ŌĆØ For the full story, see the Express on Friday 5-30-14.
The North Country Falcons traveled to Warren, Vermont, as the tenth-ranked team to take on number seven-ranked Harwood. Unfortunately, the match was held amidst controversy. High school tennis is played on hard courts, yet the Falcons were forced to play on a very unfamiliar surface on three of the five courts, that surface being clay. Harwood had hardcourt options they've used frequently this season yet insisted on putting us on clay. It seemed unsporting and unfair. It was all about the ŌĆśequal playing fieldŌĆÖ cliche.
ORLEANS- Lake Region softball defeated Peoples Academy 8-7 as the two teams battled neck and neck until the bottom of the seventh. The Lady RangersŌĆÖ senior day began with a slow start. Following the pregame celebration honoring the soon-to-graduate second baseman Alyssa Royer, pitcher Michelle Thibeault and catcher Corinna Cota, the home team took the field. For the full story, see the Express on 5-29-14.
NEWPORT-The North Country Falcons scored nine runs in the first four innings, which helped pace them to an 11-0, complete team win over the Mount Abraham Eagles on Wednesday afternoon. "We knew (Mt. Abe) had struggled offensively and we talked about getting a lead and scoring some runs early for Wyatt," said NCU coach Brian Bonvechio. "I was pleased with the effort, and you can see, we have a nice, deep team we can do a lot of things with." For the full story, see the Express on 5-29.14.

Hope Solo, Megan Rapinoe assigned to Reign FC
Hope Solo was among seven players allocated Friday to Reign FC, Seattle's team in the new National Women's Soccer League.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Weekend Watch: Must-see matches from around the world NEW - 1/30, 12:21 PM
Reign FC, Seattle's team in the new National Women's Soccer League, has a foundation to its roster after the league allocated 55 national-team players from the United States, Canada and Mexico to its eight teams Friday.
Goalkeeper Hope Solo, a Richland native and former University of Washington star, was the biggest name allocated to Reign FC and an expected choice as a hometown product.
Solo was joined by national-squad teammates Megan Rapinoe, a midfielder who will be on loan to France's Lyon until June, and forward Amy Rodriguez. Also allocated were midfielder Kaylyn Kyle and defender Emily Zurrer from Canada, and midfielder Teresa Noyola and defender Jenny Ruiz from Mexico.
"Obviously it was a very exciting day for us," said general manager Amy Carnell in a phone interview. "It's the first step in creating an identity. For a new club, it's new logo, new name, new head coach, and then it's like, 'Who are you?' ... We'll build our team from this seven."
Solo and Rapinoe each played for the star-studded Sounders Women's team last summer following the collapse of Women's Professional Soccer. Other players from that group were allocated elsewhere, notably star forward Alex Morgan to Portland Thorns FC.
Former Sounders Women's forward Sydney Leroux will play for the Boston Breakers, midfielder Veronica Perez (another UW product) heads to the Western New York Flash, and midfielder Keelin Winters joined the Chicago Red Stars.
That Morgan was paired with Canada's superstar forward, Christine Sinclair, was the biggest surprise, according to Carnell.
"Two of the best strikers in the world in the same city, I think that's a shocker for everyone," she said.
Reign FC will fill out the rest of its 20-player roster through the Jan. 18 college draft and free agency. The team is expected to announce ticket information and its home venue next week.
Yedlin becomes first homegrown signee
Sounders FC signed Seattle native DeAndre Yedlin as the team's first homegrown player.
Yedlin, a 19-year-old defender from the University of Akron, played at O'Dea High School and came up through the Sounders' youth development program, including the U-23 team last year. Homegrown players do not count against the salary cap.
"It's amazing to start my professional career in a place where I started playing soccer in the first place," said Yedlin in a news release.
Terms of the signing were not disclosed per MLS and team policy.
Yedlin, who has often trained with the first team, was named to the All-Mid-American Conference team in his two seasons at Akron, where he earned 12 assists in 45 games (41 starts). He was named to College Soccer News' Freshman All-American team in 2011.
"Hopefully DeAndre is the first of many local players who will come through our system and wear the rave green at the professional level," said general manager Adrian Hanauer in the release.
• Sounders FC's March 16 home game against Portland will kick off at 5 p.m. The start time was listed as TBD when the schedule was released Wednesday.

It was label full but when I tried to put the bedskirt on the bed...it was a twin so I got to deal w/ overstock on a return but it went smoothly...so I put the set that was suppose to go on the spare room on my bed and turned out it looks better in there but I'm still shy a set for the spare bedroom...so I get to go shop for another set later. If I get real antsy..I have all the bedding I took off to replace with the new,I can wash but it's really hard to do this stuff when all I wanna do is go outside. Can't even walk over to the greenhouse it's blowing and going with occassional down pours. I can't even get excited about shopping....unless of course if I can shop for flower seeds...which I absolutely do not need. *sigh* |
I'll have a glass!!! In the high 60s yesterday although quite breezy a real tease. Today~BAM!! Gray, windy, cold, downright awful..tomorrow they say snow then cold the rest of the week..,actually glad to be working tonight to get out of the house. |

Trolling...stalking seed exchanges and websites....like I need another dang seed! But Oh Boy! Could I do some more damage w/ the cc.....I Will Not Buy More Seeds...I Will Not Buy More Seeds! I Will Not...I WILL NOT! Forget the glass...pass the bottle! I've passed the lady-like point...LOL |
I know just what you mean!! Pass the jug this way. It's 17 with wind chill and 6'' of snow with more to come...GRRR! |
Though temps are well below normal here 'again' I'm not complaining yet. I still have (about) my whole winter chore list to do. Where has the winter gone? I have all my seeds spread out on the diningroom table going thur them. Trolling...stalking seed exchanges and websites....like I need another dang seed! But Oh Boy!

So as soon as I can I'll have to go across the street to neighbor's and take cuttings off those plants. You know your addicted when you start having to plant some of your stuff in the neighbor's yard because you've run out of room or the growing conditions are better. Lead me not unto temptation for I can darn well find it myself....LOL Woo-Hoo! Our warming trend starts today w/ temps at 71...YAY! I can play outside...I can play outside!!! I need to get out.

A new report is suggesting that OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion could be released to the public on July 25, via distribution through the Mac App Store. According to 9to5Mac, sources have revealed that overnight activities will be happening in Apple Retail Stores on the evening of the 24th, which in itself is not unusual but fits with a launch pattern for the 25th July. Apparently, the master image of Mountain Lion will be installed on each Mac in the Apple Retail Stores so that when customers arrive, Mountain Lion will be ready and waiting.
While the launch date is still speculative, as no official confirmation has been seen from Apple, it is relatively consistent with previous reports that Mountain Lion would launch around July 24. The new OS will be distributed exclusively through the Mac App Store so a near instantaneous roll out will occur when it is released, priced at $19.99.
When OS X 10.7 Lion was distributed via the Mac App Store, some people experienced some delays in downloading the new OS to their system, primarily because of the sheer mass of data being distributed from Apple's servers. It's likely that there will be a few slow downloads occurring again, simply because of the amount of traffic, but it means that everyone ordering Mountain Lion gets it within a matter of hours, rather than waiting for a USB stick to be delivered.

Nelson Mandela: Reflections on a Life Well-Lived
"This week I join the world in mourning the loss of Nelson Mandela, a man who served as the conscience of the world, a job he never sought. He made the transition from revolutionary to statesman seem natural with an amazing combination of strength and grace. Mandela changed the course of history for his nation and for the world, with deeds both large and small, too numerous to mention. For him, injustice and inequality anywhere required our attention -- and actions. At home, he championed policies supporting women and children, enhancing access to education, health care, clean water, and more. And in retirement, his Nelson Mandela Foundation, fought to combat HIV/AIDS, promote rural development and school construction, and eradicate poverty. Globally, he pressed an agenda to eradicate poverty and hunger everywhere. Some years ago, Action Against Hunger honored Mandela with our Humanitarian Award. We could think of no individual who better personified the mission we work towards every day, saving the lives of malnourished children and unlocking their future potential..."

There's a lot to be excited about on the Island, and a lot of good young talent stockpiled by a general manager who is savvier than his record indicates. If it weren't for the penny-pinching owner who siphons gas from cars in the Nassau Coliseum parking lot to fill the team bus, there would be a lot to be happy about the following:
- A particularly impressive first line centred by John Tavares, who does not seem at all fazed by the loss of P.A. Parenteau.
- An excellent top four that is now bolstered by the addition of Lubomir Visnovsky. He'll join Travis Hamonic, Andrew MacDonald and Mark Streit.
- One of the most exciting two-way players in the game in Frans Nielsen, a killer on breakaways and definitely the inspiration for this blog's name.
It would be fun if you added to that "the best goaltender since the 2005 lockout" to the equation since the New York Islanders are now the team that owns the rights to Tim Thomas and his suspended contract.
Of course, the point of the trade that 'brought' Thomas to Long Island certainly wasn't made under the pretext that the Islanders are an elite goaltender away from competing. Even though Thomas isn't playing and isn't collecting the money on his contract, it still counts against the salary cap. The Boston Bruins, a team right at the upper-limit and needing to shuffle the deck a little to have space to make another move, had a need to get him off the books. The Islanders, at the other end of the Capgeek chart, don't have the financial resources to pay up to the salary cap. If they get pay the salary floor each year, that's an accomplishment.
So the Islanders, and their savvy general manager, whose talents aren't being used in this case to improve the team from a hockey standpoint (as they were when he signed Brad Boyes to a $1-million deal for a season last summer) he's saving his club a bit of money.
But we all knew that. The deal makes sense from a practical standpoint, the real problem with the deal is the ick-factor, knowing that there are fans on Long Island who spend their hard-earned money to watch a team that isn't trying to compete. I'm not an expert on Charles Wang's books, or whether or not he's made legitimate efforts to sell the team. I do know that his attempts to rebuild the Islanders' arena district didn't go over too well with the local government, and I do know that he decided to move to the team to the brand new Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, which is a nice arena, but would lack end-zone seats on one side of the arena.
An aside here, but that move bugs be for a couple of reasons. The first is the aesthetic value of watching a team on TV while they're playing one end in a walled-up section of the rink. Their current set-up at Nassau is bad enough, where the camera is stationed at a low angle on the home blue line. The second reason the move bugs me is that the Islanders' logo is geographically accurate. Not many people know this, but according to nhluniforms.com, the tipped 'I' in the word Islanders in the logo points directly to the location of the arena on Long Island.
From Jesse Spector Sean Gentille:
As is often the case with the Islanders, the deal is salary cap-related. They had to reach the lower limit by Friday, and acquiring Thomas gets them there. Because he's suspended, they don't have to pay his $5 million salary—and because he was older than 35 when he signed his current contract, he counts against the cap regardless. That will be true in perpetuity until he plays the last year of his deal. He could also officially retire, in which case he'd still count against the cap for one more season. [Sporting News]
The "conditional pick" sent by the Islanders to the Bruins probably doesn't matter. It's a condition, apparently—that will be met if Thomas suits up to play under this current deal. If Thomas expresses his desire to play before the end of the year, my bet is that the Islanders could easily recoup the cost, but I don't think that's in their plans. If Thomas wants to play for the Islanders, the team could toll the suspended year forward, as they did for Evgeny Nabokov, but if Thomas still doesn't want to play, what's to keep the Islanders from keeping the contract on the books until Thomas shows up determined to collect his cash? He's more valuable to the team when he isn't playing.
This is insurance against the salary floor, as Katie Strang described it. Now that Lubomir Visnovsky is playing for the Islanders, they could theoretically trade him. Or Mark Streit. Or Evgeny Nabokov. Or any part of their collection of expiring contracts, and they could do it without worrying about hitting the salary floor.
This isn't the first time the Islanders have made a move in the last month that hinders their ability to ice a competitive team while saving the team cash against the salary floor. As Triumph from Driving Play noted after details of the changes to the collective bargaining went online, teams can no longer use performance bonuses on entry-level deals to artificially reach the salary cap. This meant that it wasn't worth it for the Islanders to play Ryan Strome or Griffin Reinhart in the NHL this year, or Nino Niederreiter or Brock Nelson, who were tearing up the AHL at last blush.
It's hard to look at these actions and not see the pattern – instead of using bonus-laden years to buoy themselves up to the salary floor, the Islanders are now saving Entry-Level years on contracts. Strome's contract still has another slide year – he'll now be UFA in 2020 instead of 2019. Niederreiter's contract can't be saved, but they sure can sit on him to make sure he has no leverage at all on his second contract. And who needs Reinhart eating up minutes and contract time in the NHL when you can get Brian Strait off the street to do much the same thing? [Driving Play]
Presumably, the Islanders will one day be able to use their wealth of player resources to ice a competitive team. Why the rush? Tavares is signed through 2018, Nielsen and Michael Grabner through 2016. By the time the team is in a better position to make money playing out of the Barclay's Center, Matt Moulson may be the only key player to disappear from the roster, after Streit and Visnovsky are turned into something other than an expiring contract this trade deadline.
The pattern obviously sucks for Islanders fans, who have to sit there and wait until the team moves out of the county before it will be competitive. You have the feeling that with a few more dollars, this could be a team that wins now, but the Islanders still have a round of selling off before ownership will decide whether or not they want to give the all-clear for the team to buy up a few good players, leverage their young talent for established NHLers, and even try make it back to the playoffs. The way teams like the Islanders, or the Miami Marlins in baseball, are run, sometimes going into seasons with no clear desire to compete makes you wish that a system of promotion and relegation wasn't foreign in North American sports. The team would at least have to pretend to care at that point.
The other aspect of this trade… good for Boston, who are going to be able to add another key piece this season. Hint hint.

PROVIDENCE — Across the country, elected leaders and educators have begun pushing back against a set of educational standards that have been adopted by 45 states, including Rhode Island.
Now, a burgeoning opposition movement is developing in Rhode Island, with teachers, parents and at least one school committee questioning whether the Common Core standards are worth all of the money and effort put into them.
Although opposition to the Common Core in Rhode Island hasn't coalesced, it has cropped up in communities as diverse as Barrington, Tiverton and Cumberland.
And state Rep. Gregg Amore, D-East Providence, has submitted a bill calling for a delay in the implementation of a new test in math and English tied to the Common Core, which will be implemented statewide next year. The Tiverton School Committee voted last week to support the bill.
Both conservative and progressive critics say the Common Core is an attempt to impose a national curriculum that undermines local control and narrows the curriculum with its relentless focus on math and literacy.
Advocates point out that the standards were developed by the nation's governors and state education commissioners, not the federal government. They deny that it is a national curriculum. Rather, they say, it is a set of expectations that define what skills should be mastered at various grade levels from kindergarten through high school.
The Common Core grew out of a widespread fear that the United States was falling behind the industrialized world in math and science as measured by international tests.
The move to establish a shared set of standards was also a reaction to the growing achievement gaps between racial groups and low-income students and higher-income students.
In 2009, the National Governors Association assembled a group of educators who ultimately developed standards in math and science. The Obama administration encouraged states to adopt them through its Race to the Top grants program.
"States were saying, 'We're not getting the work force we need,' " said Chad Colby, a spokesman for Achieve Inc., of Washington, D.C., a nonpartisan education reform organization that helped develop the Common Core standards. "Governors and chief state officers were saying it doesn't make sense that we have different standards in different states."
In Rhode Island, the Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education discussed the standards at several open meetings beginning in 2009 before approving them, upon the recommendation of Education Commissioner Deborah A. Gist, in 2010.
As the state moves toward implementing a new test based on the new standards for the 2014-2015 school year, calls for delaying or halting the program are increasing.
In Barrington, critics such as parent Tad Segal and School Committee member Scott Fuller say the standards were developed without any input from local school committees, teachers and superintendents, a complaint echoed by others.
"Who developed the Common Core?" said Dan Snowman, a Smithfield parent and physics professor at Rhode Island College who is part of a Facebook group called Collapse the Core. "There was a staggering lack of early childhood experts and classroom teachers."
But the responsibility for setting state standards lies at the state level, not the local one, said Department of Education spokesman Elliot Krieger.
As the standards were being developed, RIDE shared the information with Rhode Island math and English educators, Krieger said.
Moreover, three Rhode Island educators and a professor from Brown University participated on the national committees that reviewed the standards.
Gist said "there absolutely were teachers involved" in the development of the Common Core. More importantly, Rhode Island teachers are deeply involved in developing curriculum based on the new standards.
Another common criticism is that the standards are unrealistic for younger students because they call for abstract reasoning skills that are developmentally inappropriate for children in kindergarten through third grade.
"My grandchildren are coming home hysterical because they can't do the work," said Peg Bugara, a retired teacher and School Committee member in Little Compton.
In March 2010, dozens of early childhood health and education professionals called on the National Governors Association to suspend development of the Common Core because they said it conflicted with the latest research.
The group said that the standards would stifle initiative, curiosity and imagination and hamper the growth of essential sensory and motor skills best developed through play and hands-on learning.
But, Colby, of Achieve Inc., says that, until the advent of the new standards, the math taught in, for example, third grade not only differed from state to state but, in some cases, from school to school. The Common Core is designed to address those disparities so a child moving from one state — or district — to another will be on the same page.
Critics say this standardization will lead to a national curriculum that will take away teachers' freedom.
Segal, one of the Barrington opponents, noted that the description for his district's kindergarten-level "math year at a glance" was identical to the same unit in the Common Core.
"This is a curriculum, not standards," Segal said. "Barrington cut and pasted the Common Core standards and adapted the standards to the local curriculum."
Barrington's curriculum director, Paula Dillon, agrees that her district plucked the local standards from the Common Core but said that is just the starting point. The teachers revise and rewrite the document and turn it into a lesson that makes sense to students.
"It's up to the teachers to interpret it," Dillon said. "It becomes a living document."
Other critics say teachers will wind up teaching to the Common Core test, especially in states such as Rhode Island, which link teacher evaluations to student performance.
"You won't be able to use any curriculum that's not Common Core," says Bugara, the retired Little Compton teacher. "We have highly trained educators in Little Compton. They are not being allowed to use their expertise. Teachers are afraid to speak out."
Colby disagrees. For example, he said, the Common Core says fractions should be taught in third grade, but it is up to the local school district to decide how they are taught and what textbooks are used.
"There is no evidence," he says, "that having common standards leads to a national curriculum."
Gist agrees with Colby.
"The standards talk about what our students should know and be able to do," she said. "The curriculum talks about how you teach, when you teach it and what materials you use."
Gist also pointed out that Rhode Island has spent millions of dollars preparing teachers to get ready for the Common Core, adding that the standards were adopted in 2010 but students won't be tested on them until 2015.
Sandra Stotsky is one of the most vocal national critics of the Common Core. She helped developed the English standards for Massachusetts and she served on the national committee that vetted the Common Core.
Stotsky says that the Common Core has shifted the focus from preparing students to be effective citizens to making sure they are ready for both the work force and college, which, she says, has watered down the standards, especially in math.
"What the core does is assume you need the same skills for career as for college," she says. "In order to make the standards attainable, they have lowered the level of what is considered college readiness, especially in math."
Colby counters that the standards are "the floor, not the ceiling," adding that nothing prevents a school district from offering higher-level math such as calculus. He says the new math standards, which call for knowledge of algebra II, are more rigorous than many of the state standards they replace.
"We've always had standards, and they've never been piloted," Colby said. "You adopt them and you revisit them as needed. At some point, the states will get together again and look at them."

In Maine we visited the Hope Elephants. A group there has taken in two retired circus elephants that are 40+ years old, and they provide a heated barn and a few acres for them to live on, and use them as a means to educate people about elephants in general and about the ongoing crisis elephants are facing in Africa.

One of the guys that runs the facility was an elephant handler and a juggler in a circus decades ago, and even worked with these two elephants at one point. Since then he became a veterinarian. They said that when he met the elephants again in Oklahoma, before moving them to Maine they recognized him even though they hadn't seen him in many years, and were excited to see him.

David Trezeguet is on the verge of joining River Plate after meeting with club president Daniel Passarella on Friday.
The former Juventus striker is set to undergo a medical with the Argentinian club on Saturday and will sign a contract next week if everything goes well.
After leaving Hercules in the summer, Trezeguet joined Baniyas in the United Arab Emirates but negotiated his release from the club.
He is now set to join his boyhood idols River and said he is excited about the move.
"I'm in perfect shape to give River my best," he commented. "To play for this club and in Argentine football is to crown a dream. I left (Buenos Aires) very young and I'm really enthusiastic about this (move)."
Trezeguet also revealed that he has spoken with River coach Matias Almeyda, adding: "I've talked with Matias and we had a very good dialogue. He explained the team's situation to me. The club's objective is very clear, and his too."

Five Days BBC1, Monday-Friday 9pm
BBC1's latest stripped-across-the-week drama is a thoughtfully constructed piece by Gwyneth Hughes. A magnificent ensemble cast headed by Suranne Jones and David Morrissey investigate the ramifications of two seemingly separate events: a small baby abandoned in the hospital, and a suicide in front a cross-country train. As the week progresses, myriad smaller strands promise to converge.
Married Single Other ITV1, Monday 9pm
The first episode of ITV1's new romantic comedy drama held much promise, and hopefully it'll live up to that as it continues. Tonight Clint (Ralf Little) decides to throw a dinner party with the aim of wooing Abbey (Miranda Raison), unaware that his friends and relations are on the verge of self-destructing.
This is Jinsy BBC3, Monday 9.30pm
Writers Justin Chubb and Chris Bran play Maven and Sporrall, the hapless administrators of Jinsy Island, in this whimsical surrealist sitcom pilot that should satisfy people mourning the lack of any new Boosh output.
Holby City BBC1, Tuesday 8pm
New consultant Toby Geddes (Rick Warden) is one of those hugely irritating new characters that will either get written out within a few episodes, or mellow into one of the long-running characters we grow either to love, or to love to hate. Menawhile, a massive road accident and a hostage crisis mean that the ED is overflowing and the Acute Assessment Unit must take the strain. A tense episode, made all the stronger in the knowledge that next week's will cover the same timeframe from different perspectives.
First Time Voters' Question Time Live BBC3, Wednesday 8pm
We're just weeks away from a general election — and for voters under the age of 23, it'll be their first. Political representatives from each of the main parties face an audience of new voters in a debate hosted by Dermot O'Leary. While his TV persona is more used to voting of a telephone-for-your-favourite-popstrel kind, O'Leary is a warm and engaging host with more than a passing interest in politics, so should be the perfect moderator for this debate.
Eddie Izzard: Marathon Man BBC3, Thursday 10.30pm
Most people would be happy running the London Marathon for charity once in their life. Others may enter it multiple years. Running 43 marathons? In the space of 51 days? That's crazy. But that's just what Eddie Izzard did to raise money for Sports Relief. This first part of a three-episode documentary covers Izzard's training regime (a dizzyingly breif two weeks) and his first few marathons.

Hillary Clinton's Aide Has Family Ties To Muslim Brotherhood- Unproven!
Summary of the eRumor: Allegations spreading on the World Wide Web that Hillary Clinton's aide and State Department Deputy Chief of Staff, Huma Abedin's family has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The rumor alleges that Abedin's mother and brother are both associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
The source of the rumor came from an article written by Walid Shoebat, who claims to be a former Palestinian terrorist and a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Shobat claimed that Abedin's mother, Saleha Abedin, belongs "to the Brotherhood's secret women's division known as the Muslim Sisterhood or what is known as the International Women's Organization." The article went on to say that her brother, Hassan, who is listed as a fellow of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, "partners with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members." Shoebat said that al-Qaeda associate, Omar Naseef and Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Youssef Qaradawi are listed as Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies trustees. Shoebat was interviewed on the subject by Frontpage on June 24, 2011, which resulted in a fury of opinions on Internet blogs and calls for Abedin to step down.
According to several bios posted on the Internet, Huma Abedin was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan and at the age of two moved with her family to Saudi Arabia. She returned to the U.S. to study journalism and in 1996 began working as an intern in the White House for Hillary Clinton and eventually worked for her 2008 presidential campaign. Abedin is the wife of former Congressman Anthony Weiner who stepped down from office in June 2011 after admitting to allegations of inappropriate behavior in a "sexting" scandal. updated 6/29/11
Through all the talk about Anthony Weiner we have mostly listened to jokes about his private parts and his name. His wife was often mentioned as a victim to his online tomfoolery. Today I want to talk about his wife, Huma Abedin Weiner. In 1996, while Bill Clinton was president, he and Hillary met Huma while on a trip to Saudi Arabia. It's unclear what transpired, but she ended up in Washington DC with close ties to the Clintons. We now know she is Secretary State Hillary Clinton's deputy Chief of Staff. This is a very sensitive position so we would think Huma was well vetted. Huma Abedin Weiner is a devout Muslim. Her brother, Hassan, works at the Oxford Center for Islamic Studies (OCIS) at Oxford University. He has close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. The Egyptian Al-Azhar University, is well known for a curriculum that encourages extremism and terrorism, and is active in establishing links with OCIS. Huma's mother is co-founder of the Dar El-Hekma women's college in Saudi Arabia, which has close ties to the Muslim Sisterhood, the female version of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Sisterhood is also known as International Women's Organization (IWO). We watched in Egypt as the left sided with the Muslim Brotherhood to take over the country. We are watching the same thing in Libya, only this time we have sent American forces to help the very same people we are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. The left, no matter whether it's from America or Europe, defends the Muslims at all cost, while making Israel out to always be the bad guy. We are fighting Islamic extremist, and their biggest allies are sitting inside our own government, the Democratic Party. With Huma Abedin Weiner having access to so much classified material, the radicals know our every move. You can't turn on the television without hearing how bad Christianity is, while they defend Islam. Sheila Jackson Lee (D, Texas) is not alone when she stood before the podium and said that Christian abortion clinic bombers were comparable to the 9/11 terrorist, or the countless other Islamic terrorists. America, we are at war, and the enemy is not across an ocean, it lies within our own borders.

Last week was good for me and Im looking forward to the new week. I actually took one last trade on Friday evening and that went well too, a long order.
Thing is, I know i'll be wrong once in a while, but I just can't help but marvel at golds ability to respond to price levels and the big moves following that.
Okay, here is Friday's chart. I have no open positions and I might not trade until the US session. Nice week everyone.…

Yesterday the day toped out and I took a short trade at the very top and managed to bag another 180 pips. I got out at the 61.8 level. Turns out I was wrong and it seems that the instrument has broken all the lines. I am short looking at the 100 line to take my profits. My stop is just above the point where the trend line crosses the 61.8 level…

31 Dec 1410 fearless predictions for the 2015 NFL season
Some of these might seem crazy, but they could actually happen.
Some of these might seem crazy, but they could actually happen.
This is the time of year when NFL players speak up by sitting out.
These players are looking to get paid. After their performance exceeded their contracts, here are four defenders looking for a new contract this off-season.
"… Justin Houston, who dislocated his elbow against the Chargers. The swelling in Houston's right arm didn't subside enough for Houston to undergo an MRI until Wednesday."
Which is the real Chiefs' team? Is it the one that won nine straight games to open the season, or the one that's currently stuck in a two-game losing streak? The Chiefs were always overrated, and the issues on defense will only be magnified as the season continues.
Is Peyton Manning really the NFL's midseason MVP? The result might be closer than you think. It's not quite the same for Team of the Year, Coach of the Year and Rookies of the Year, but check out all the Midseason Awards here.
The Kansas City Chiefs appear to be the one team with the key ingredients to stop Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.
It's three weeks into the NFL season, and Peyton Manning is already running away with the MVP race. But two other QBs, an RB and an OLB warrant watching as the season continues.

How to go to the Bathroom in the Middle of the Night
Wake up at 3 A.M in your apartment and realize you have to pee. Think about how much effort it will take to walk to the bathroom. Decide you actually don't have to pee. You just think you have to pee.
Go back to sleep. Wake up 5 seconds later. You definitely have to pee. Fall back asleep. Have 30 second dream that you woke up, went to the bathroom and are already back in bed. Wake up for real and realize that was a dream and you still very much have to pee.
Check your pajamas to make sure you didn't pee the bed while sleep peeing. Remember the time you did that in second grade. Feel embarrassed all over again.
Think about other times you've been embarrassed. Make a mental note to talk with your therapist about why these elementary school incidents still make you blush.
Remember you have to pee. Check the clock. 3 AM. Debate with yourself on whether you should just forget about it and go back to sleep. That's only 4 more hours until you have to really get up. Might as well not bother now.
Realize that it's 3 AM and you're wide awake. Stress out that you're wide awake on a work night. Think about all the precious minutes of sleep you're losing. Every minute of sleep you lose in bed is a minute less of work productivity. Freak out about how little work you'll be able to do tomorrow due to your sleep loss.
Feel your bladder growing heavier. It's serious now. You need to get up and just pee. Just get it over with. Peel back the blankets and do it. Seriously, do it. You're wasting valuable sleep time here.
Stand up. Walk into a wall. Curse at yourself. Trip over bathmat. Sit down on toilet and pee. Stand up and go back to bed.
And it's easy.

Works for me- I do strongly suspect that if we use compression we'll be purely trading disk space decrease for the cost of transfering each changed compressed manifest in full though... rsync + compression do not get along at all. Either way, stats would be useful when you've got time. ~brian

Southwest posts double-digit Q1 cargo gains
Southwest Airlines posted notable cargo growth during the first three months of 2012, with revenues surging 19.4 percent, year-over-year, to $37 million. The carrier also reported a net income of $98 million for the first quarter, although staggering fuel prices led to an $18 million net loss.
Operating income also slid considerably during the first quarter of 2012, falling from $114 million to $22 million, year-over-year. Excluding special items, operating income totaled $10 million in the first three months of 2012, compared to $110 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Southwest CEO Gary Kelly said this discrepancy comes down to one huge factor: fuel prices. "The decline in operating income was driven by a $478 million increase in our first quarter economic fuel costs, compared to first quarter last year," he said in a statement. "Energy price increases continue to pressure costs, which only serve to reinforce our commitment to eliminate waste and maximize efficiency throughout our company."
Overall, however, Kelly said he's impressed by the carrier's first-quarter performance. "Despite a modest loss, excluding special items, our results were notable, with outstanding revenue production and, except for jet fuel, better-than-expected operating costs," he stated.
Kelly attributes Southwest's "record first quarter revenue results" to efficient revenue management, network optimization, and the benefits of the carrier's May 2011 acquisition of AirTran Airways.
Southwest's merger with AirTran Airways also led to the February 12 launch of Southwest's 26,000-square-foot cargo facility at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport; the carrier initiated passenger service to Atlanta that same day.
Wally Devereaux, Southwest's director of sales and marketing, told Air Cargo World in January that the decision to launch freight services in Atlanta was strategic. Calling Atlanta a "critical city" for Southwest Airlines Cargo, Devereaux anticipates operations taking off tremendously once the operations of Southwest and AirTran fully integrate.
"We expect our Atlanta cargo operation to be one of the largest in the Southwest Airlines system," Devereaux said.

The Stars Speak (2nd ed.)The Stars Speak by Stewart Custer is a welcome return to the central theme of the heavens, the "glory of God." Has modern astrology, in its effort to read the stars, missed their message entirely? Can it be that what the heavens communicate is far more glorious, far more intimate than what the casual observer has ever dreamed? From asteroids to the star of Bethlehem, The Stars Speak reveals not only the Creator's grand and masterful designs but also His matchless and loving condescension to mankind.
