"After several trips to different parts of the river, it became clear that what I was responding to and how I felt whilst being in china was permeating into my pictures; a formalness and unease, a country that feels both at the beginning of a new era and at odds with itself. China is a nation that appears to be severing its roots by destroying its past in the wake of the sheer force of its moving "forward" at such an astounding and unnatural pace. A people scarring their country and a country scarring its people."

Vincent Fournier's images reflect his fascination for the space age through an archive of the most significant space complexes from all over the world including, The Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre of the Russian Federation, the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah, the Guiana Space Centre, the Atacama Desert Observatories in Chile, among others. From the global village to the space odyssey and more recently the underworld project, his photographs are allegories and criticism for our dream of a science fiction utopia.

Product designer Naoto Fukasawa unfailingly designs shapes to meet people's expectations. His unique efforts to determine the "outline of things" from people's unconscious are gathering attention worldwide. Advertising photography expert Tamotsu Fujii superbly depicts outlines blending into light and air.
The "outline of design", something obvious yet invisible, emerges through the efforts of these two men. This exhibition, including 100 products designed by Naoto Fukasawa and some 70 photographs taken by Tamotsu Fujii over 4 years, is something never attempted before – an exhibition revealing what everyone has sought… the "outline of design".

The Fall is a photographic survey of our historic unconscious. Richard Mosse travelled to intensely remote locations, from the Patagonian Andes to the Yukon Territories, and worked as an embed with the US military to produce work for this exhibition. The Fall is a rescue mission to try to locate our blasted sense of landscape and archeology, and reclaim the primeval waste for our imagination. Produced to an epic scale, each of the photographs in The Fall is a history painting for our times.

Called into the bank this afternoon to pay off the Visa. Problem was, I had a Sterling cheque to deposit too, so which queue do I go into. Foreign Exchange/Cash or Non-cash transactions. I went for the latter in the end, mainly because there was only 3 people there and 7 before me in the other queue. Still took ages to get to the counter. Euro dealings are taking longer methinks. I had lots of Euro bills with me, does anyone else think it's like Monopoly money? And don't get me started on the tiny coins!

Study hard, and study naked ..... and may every dorm room at every university have a naked guy like this in it!
Study hard, and study naked ..... and may every dorm room at every university have a naked guy like this in it!
Warning, warning, warning ..... we have a designer emergency in Erie!
There's just too many things WRONG with this picture for me to even go into here!
I feel the BIG ONE coming on!
It's quite sad when the white walls are the best part of the decor... of all the many wrongs I see there though...I gotta know what they were thinking when they picked those pillows to go with that couch! ...and what a strange place for the lamp!
He's kinda cute though...I'd risk going in there... ...at least it appears to be clean.
fun thread snapcat....keep em coming!
I wonder if he shoves the ceramics in places where ceramics don't go!?!...How did u find these pics!!?!?
I bet the ceramics get scared!?!?!
LOL!!! At 1st I couldnt see him!
'Studying in the nude, an American tradition, usually following a popular American tradition of getting wasted the night before the test, fucking a random girl/guy, realizing that your screwed, and trying to get the last bit of cramming in before you get rush-dressed and try to make it on time.'
While some of our naked guys take pics of themselves nekkid for the fun of it, others such as this naked guy - probably take the pics to pass around on Craig's List, Gay.com, AOL and the like ...
I'm not sure if this is the best facial expression to advertise when you are cumming ...
And still others might want to reconsider their choice of caps ....
Some of our naked guys enjoy a rousing game of "Find the Pee Pee"
While others just enjoy getting nekkid outdoors for any reason at all ....
And still others, such as this nekkid daddy, should stay nekkid all the time! Woof!
The line forms behind me, to paint these white walls, gentlemen!
somehow it hurts to just look at this pic ..
rainbow colored files?
the PERFECT picture for your manhunt profile
guess mommy just came in
ok this one doesn't really fit this theme, but the guy is so hot, and he does look really interested

a happy poofter with a fag - and a weird mirror
i am not sure, but it seems the guy is peeing in the middle of the street? and it seems he doesn't mind to be photographed like that. however he IS cute
ooops someone got horny on the beach
that china restaurant was asking for it .. seriously
i don't know that is going on there, it smells like roasted nuts

someone REALLY trying to prove us that he has some muscle
in front of a cross and that really tacky maria+jesus picture .. are you serious dude?
i guess it wouldn't stay up, so he had to bend back enough for some gravity?
or maybe it was meant as art .. leaning tower of pisa or so
drapes not just matching the couch, it's the same cloth! omfg ..
GOLDEN frames, and what is that other golden thing on the toilet? ugh .. i'd run away

Love this thread. Guys hanging around the house naked and taking pix is soooo hot. Also outdoor pix are great. It seems like everyone wants to not only get naked these days, but take pix and post them. Truly, guys gone wild. Everyone showing their junk. Love the comments too.
the guy is cute .. and looks so innocent
Check out my very own Body Hair Lovers and Photography Groups!
But not as cute as you are, my friend! Some people may not realize it, but Corny is Woofalicious! I've seen the pics! We can only hope that a video soon follows!
But now let's turn our attention to our next naked guy .... and I'm afraid we have another Red Alert Design Disaster going on here!
Oh dear! Where do we even begin?
Perhaps our naked guy should put some additional thought to the blood red sheets on this bed. And maybe someone should give some thought to one of those neat little callous medications on the market today. Either that, or contact the pedicurist STAT!
And can we talk about that heinous rug hanging on the wall? Is that thing butt-fugly, or what? Certainly those aren't drapes, are they?
Someone needs to call Christopher Lowell and get him on a plane to Oshkosh right away!
Oh my goodness, this bed throw on the far bed looks like the drapes from the last picture!
What hotel would buy such trash? Was there a sale at Big Lots that day?
Oh, dear God in Heaven!
Are we going to have to have yet another remedial class on how to use a dildo?
Seriously, by now I would have thought everyone would have learned that they go up your ass and not down your throat.
Of course I thought people would have known just how out leopard print sheets were, too, but this naked guy missed that memo, too.
Fuck man! We'll have to agree to disagree, concerning this bloke. Why, just look at those orange red pubs, and those sexy feet & legs.......Drool, YUM! YUM!!
Loving short cocks, as I do. "Red", passes the shorty average size test with flying colors in my judgement. A+ also, for his cock!!!
I'd sure love to start licking on those feet & sucking those manly toes. I would than work up to munching in those orange red pubs, ( my dick is raging hard thinking just about it). After, I give all that red hair on his legs a good sucking & licking.
Damn! I'd suck his tongue, straight out of his mouth. Than finally, I would chew on his sperm like bubble gum, before I swallowed it down.........
NOTE........This post belonged under the "Red Headed" guy many pages back!! Not here.
I could make love with this guy real easy. He's sexy & hot in my books.
After sucking on his tongue. I would suck his sexy toes, and than work up to that sweet prick.
I would sure feast on his sperm, all night long. He's hot!!!!
>NOTE AGAIN........THis thread belongs on page 7, under the guy sitting in front of the stove.
Apparently the Deer in the Headlights look is sexy...
I missed that memo

Favorite. Thread. Of. All. Time. Period!
I like this kind of I-push-right-up-your-face kind of guys.
perfect .. 1st order and pay, 2nd pickup and take home!
oops - who is the lady in the background, and does she know about this picture?
this cute guy is still in the closet

and this one is just HOT

this one hasn't head anything about decorations at all. just mindless stuff, nailed on the wall
this one is obviously out of the closet, but boy is his closet full, i hope there is a woman in that house, and it's not all his stuff!
while we are speaking about women .. DUDE this is no pose for a guy
now we are getting musical, here is some guy from some kind of rockfest. i guess ..ummm viking metal!
and now something with an instrument .. learn your lesson - nude pics with an instrument don't always work out. now if your trouser-snake would be bigger than your oboe, maybe you could impress us ok actually it isn't that small, but if you would have played a piccolo it would have even looked bigger
Check out my very own Body Hair Lovers and Photography Groups!
let's stick with the instrument theme for a little more
as i said before .. just an instrument doesn't make a good picture. and that weird fireplace crate makes me giggle
almost every rockband has done it - play in the nude, and cleverly cover your private parts with the instruments. maybe he is aiming for a career in porn rather than rock .. or maybe he just doesn't care - we are not complaining
if you have a ONS kind of hookup, and you arrive at HIS place just to find this "bed" .. would you stay?
or maybe you find those sexy drapes
while the last ones were almost criminal, those definitely are:
Check out my very own Body Hair Lovers and Photography Groups!
This daddy doesn't look too happy! I'm guessing that heinous sofa and white walls may have something to do with it!
Somewhere, a witch with a wart on her nose is missing her sheets and pillows.
OK, I'm just going to throw this one out for the rest of you to comment on. There are just too many fashion disasters going on here for me to even begin to start ...
Anyone up for a game of Name That Tune?
This sort of gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "I'm with the band!"
It looks like some of our naked guys are still in bed or asleep this morning. Would one of my whores be so kind as to wake them up for today's festivities?
This last naked guy needs to wake-up and and go find his puppy dog. He left the doggie carrier open last night and puppy has had the run of the house!
It's been a long night of partying for our naked guys ....
Some alcohol has been consumed ...
Some embarassing costumes were worn ...
Some table-dancing was performed ....
Would one of my whores please grab the aspirin, I'm sure some of our naked guys has a headache this morning!
Red Alert!!!
We have a hand puppet eyeing this naked guy's dick!
It's "Play Night," and our naked guys are taking off their clothes and grabbing the guitar, again!
Too bad he's not grabbing those ridiculous drapes off of that wall!
It's time to grab a beer ... in fact we have a bartender right here!
So, go ahead and invite the friends over ....
Light up a cigarette ...
Get nekkid ....
And pretty soon you'll be pulling your pub just like this guy!
THIS amateur wrote the book on cute.......
so many naked dudes
so many ugly rooms!
I guess my house is ready for a few naked dudes!

"Before he toplines back-to-back "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels, Johnny Depp will first pull double duty for Tim BurtonTim Burton and Warner Bros.
Already booked to play Willy Wonka in the Burton-directed "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Depp has just made a deal to provide the lead voice in "Corpse Bride," the stop-motion animated film Burton is co-directing with Michael Johnson and producing with Allison Abbate.
Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson, Albert Finney, Richard Grant, Joanna Lumley and Christopher Lee will provide character voices for the latter film, being made in London simultaneously with "Charlie."
WB will release the Wonka pic July 15, 2005, and "Corpse Bride" in October 2005.
Latter film shares the stop-motion animation technique used in the Burton-produced "The Nightmare Before Christmas," as well as a similarly charming but macabre setting. In a 19th-century European village, Victor (Depp) travels to the underworld for a quickie wedding to a mysterious corpse bride (Bonham Carter) while his living wife (Watson) pines for his return."

Field Report: Audio-Technica AT2005USB
As technology progresses, I'm happy to see that broadcasting equipment progresses right along if not faster than consumer technology, especially in the remote broadcast/production field. Mainly what I'm talking about is the true portability of broadcast and production tools. A laptop or netbook can be taken out in the field and easily be turned into a full-blown production studio or even remote site. With some great software that is already out there the only thing needed is a good microphone.
For the longest time, the only way to connect to a computer was with a cheap 1/8" plug mics or a handful of adapters on a dynamic mic. We're now seeing a boost in really nice USB mics that allow for true plug-and-play use in nearly all the production software choices available. What I like is that some of the USB mics are built for dual-use to plug directly into a computer via USB or connect to a sound system with an XLR connector.
This time around I got the pleasure of trying out one such microphone, the Audio-Technica AT2005USB mic. While the name says USB it also has an XLR connection. This microphone is definitely one I'll be putting in my bag the versatility to connect to a computer or a mixing board by just plugging it in makes it the perfect go to mic for remotes. It's as if this mic were its own backup, in case you were planning a VOIP broadcast and things get switched around where you need a full mixing board this mic will be there.
Out of the box
The first thing to note is the bottom of the mic where the connectors are. There are three jacks to use, the XLR for normal use, the mini-USB for connecting to the computer (cable provided) and a headphone jack (with volume control). This mic, when used in the USB mode, be used as a headphone amp to directly monitor the audio going into the mic. The mic also has an on/off slide switch. When used with a USB connection it has a blue LED that indicates it is connected. The on/off switch in either USB or XLR mode does not affect the LED.
Performance at a glance |
■ Cardioid pickup
■ Dynamic element ■ 50Hz to 15kHz frequency response ■ 16-bit, 44.1/48kHz output ■ Headphone jack to monitor mic audio |
Also included are a 2m (6.6') USB cable (as mentioned above), a 3m (9.8') XLR cable, a desktop tri-pod stand (with folding legs), a mic stand clamp (which is threaded for standard mic stands), and a zippered bag for safe storage. The bag will hold the mic/stand/USB cable and mount, albeit a tight fit. The mic has a mesh grill to help prevent the plosive sounds, however, I still recommend a foam windscreen cover for the mic if it's used outside.

BB Product Control -> EY Advisory, BIG Paycut
COSo been doing MO role at a BB for close to 3 and half yrs now (I mostly did Product Control and Valuation Control at a top BB and doing PC now at a low BB). I am currently 25, and I make close to 97k/yr. Kinda got sick of this job and want a career change as I don't want to get pigeonholed into back office forever, and recently got an offer at EY Advisory.
Although the job seems more interesting (not the best consulting firm, I know) but the problem is that the pay is low. I will be making like 55k. I still have interviews at other places that may pay better, but at the moment this is the only offer I have.
Do you guys think its worth it to make the switch? Would exit opps at EY Advisory be much better than BB MO? I absolutely hate my current job and work environment and want out but don't want to get out for the sake of getting out as this will be my third company (want to stay for at least 3 yrs as I don't want to look too jumpy on my resume).
I also have the option to go to LSE for my MSc Accting and Finance in sep next yr, but dunno if this is the best option given my wrk experience and how shitty the economy is (finding a job would be a bitch).
Please advise.
id take the LSE option. EY is
?id take the LSE option. EY is a solid consulting firm (sure its not a MBB, Deloitte, or Booz, but its still good). that offer seems very low. i would expect that for an incoming advisory staff straight out of college. with 3.5 years experience, the highest rank they could offer you is senior, and usually this is for people with consulting experience. i would definitely negotiate for a higher comp.
my suspicion with the 55k is due to their "compensation bands." i know them, and other firms have predefined salary ranges for a given level, and they may have several levels for each rank within the firm. so if you are coming in as a staff, i think your falling in within the range. i would negotiate to come in as a senior, the ranges are higher and can meet your 95k (i believe...).
I am shocked that your offer
COI am shocked that your offer is for 55 only. May I ask what location you're at? 55 is the starting salary for new-hire from undergrad in cities like Chicago and Boston that aren't as expensive as SF or NYC.
If you really cant stand staying at your job and going for more interviews I would suggest to go to LSE as well, that way you're have exposure to more potential employers during the recruiting process. It is a risk though given the state of the economy. but for Big 4 Advisory, I dont think it should be too tough?
Depends on what your goals
STDepends on what your goals are but I am definitely in agreement with attending LSE from the information you have provided. It all depends on what you want to do down the road though. If you plan on doing an MBA I would say stick it out in your back office role and then try to transition after the MBA. If you don't plan on doing an MBA then I definitely think LSE is the next best option because you want out of back office but advisory and a 55k salary are nothing special in comparison. The only other thing is your finances, are you willing to go to school and pay money instead of making money? If not, then maybe try to get a higher salary from E&Y and push the other job offers in attempt to get out of back office without paying money.

55k is way too low. For entry
?55k is way too low. For entry levels consultant at Big 4, I know the salary is from 60k-70 k base at least.
bondtradercu: 55k is way too

More on 1.12.1 mounts
First, of course, everyone wants to find out what happens to the mounts they have now. Hortus tells us, thank goodness, that if you have a mount now, you will have the appropriate skill to ride it when the patch hits. Paladins and Warlocks will get both their mounts and the required skill from their quests. If you have a PVP or AV mount, you will be given the 150 riding skill just like everyone else. All mounts will be BOP after the patch, so if you're holding a mount for someone else, pass it off soon. And finally, due to the new mount prices, I figured it would be lots easier to get lots of mounts. It will, with the faction, but to get other factions' mounts, says Hortus, you'll still need exalted with the other faction. So there's still a good amount of grinding in there if you have a horse and want a tiger (or an elekk...).
Finally, we here at WoW Insider know exactly what your real question is: "How can I do it the cheapest way possible?!" Things are still open to change (of course), but the cheapest way to get a mount and skill seems to be this: If you don't have the money (or level) for an epic mount, buy a skill now for only 20g, and when the patch hits, you'll be given 75 skill along with everyone else, and will be able to buy a normal mount for 10g, giving you a mount and skill for only 30g (normally 100g after the update). But if you have the money for an epic mount, buy one of those for 900g, and when the patch comes, you'll be given a riding skill of 150 (because you have a mount in your possession), and you'll already have the epic to go with it. In that scenario, you're only saving 100g, but as anyone saving for their first mount will tell you, 100g is plenty of money.
Update: A previous version of this post listed the wrong patch for the mounts. Thanks for the comments.

MedAire, Inc. to Provide Medical Services
New York, NY, 10/25/1999 -- When JetBlue's first flight takes off, expected to be in January, 2000, crew members will have immediate access to MedLink's 16 board-certified emergency physicians at any time during flight, 24 hours-a-day. The telemedicine services, provided by MedAire, Inc. of Phoenix, allow crew members to consult directly with a physician who specializes in inflight emergency medicine.
Recognizing the importance of training its crew on frequently encountered inflight medical emergencies, JetBlue will initially provide MedAire's Management of Inflight Illness and Injury medical training for all flight attendants, inclusive of CPR/automated external defibrillator training. In the future, MedAire will provide train-the-trainer courses, specifically designed to refresh the airline's training staff on inflight medical emergencies.
"This level of training is indicative of the direction commercial aviation is taking on the training front," said Joan Sullivan Garrett, president of MedAire. "It's no longer an option to provide flight attendants with comprehensive training on inflight emergencies ‹ it's a necessity".
"Medical preparedness onboard is just one of the ways that JetBlue cares for our passengers and crew," said David Neeleman, JetBlue's Chief Executive Officer. "Our 'high tech, high-touch' ethos is bringing humanity back to air travel. JetBlue's onboard medical programs, including defibrillators on every aircraft, and extensive crew training means we can be prepared for just about any medical emergency in the air or at the departure gate." "MedLink's licensed physicians offer a tremendous peace of mind to crew members and ultimately higher level care to passengers," said Garrett. "Not only are our physicians trained specifically in the treatment of inflight and remote medical emergencies, but we also deal with more than 400 inflight medical emergency situations per month.
"Such experience and expertise adds an additional level of confidence to crew members as they work to manage an inflight illness or injury."
JetBlue, to be based at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, plans to serve up to a dozen cities with 10 new Airbus A320 aircraft by the end of its first year of operations, pending final Government approval. The carrier's proposed route structure extends from Portland, ME in the north to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. in the south, to Salt Lake City, Utah in the west.
The United States Department of Transportation has certified that JetBlue Airways Corporation's management is fit, willing and able to provide scheduled air service and it has issued the company a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. This certificate will become effective when JetBlue completes its Federal Aviation Administration certification process, which is currently underway.
MedAire provides telemedicine services worldwide, including services to many of the top US and international airlines.

DALLAS (AP) — In a story Oct. 4 about the "Victory of Death" letter by Col. William B. Travis, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the Battle of San Jacinto was on April 22, 1836. It was on April 21.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Texas agencies duel over Alamo commander's letter
Alamo commander's 'Victory or Death' letter at center of tug-of-war between 2 Texas agencies
By TERRY WALLACE
Associated Press
DALLAS (AP) — It's a new Battle of the Alamo, with one Texas agency mounting pressure on another to loan out one of the state's most sacred texts for display at "the shrine of Texas independence."
The General Land Office is pressing the State Library and Archives Commission to loan the "Victory or Death" letter penned by Col. William Barret Travis, the commander of the Alamo garrison, from its "dark storage" for a 14-day exhibit at the Alamo in February.
"Our thinking is this is a Texas treasure and deserves to be seen by the people of Texas. We think this letter can be an inspiration to the people of Texas," Land Office spokesman Mark Loeffler said.
However, the commission voted down a motion to approve the request Tuesday after commission staff recommended against the document loan. The commission will meet again in Austin in three weeks to reconsider the matter, library spokesman Cesar Garza said. In the meantime, the staffs of the two agencies will try to negotiate a deal, Loeffler said.
Since 2011, the General Land Office has been the custodian of the Alamo, and it is planning an exhibit Feb. 23-March 7 there to mark the 177th anniversary of the siege and battle.
Although acknowledging that no one can promise complete security, "we want to provide the best security possible," Loeffler said. That would include a state trooper escort from the library in Austin to San Antonio and back.
It has been loaned for display rarely, never in San Antonio, and is kept by the state library in "dark storage" out of public view, Loeffler said. Although many copies and facsimiles of the letter have been displayed, "people are more inspired to see the document that Travis, himself, touched," he said.

Our good friend, Jack Scheper, the plant expert who runs Floridata.com, tells us that cannas are native to Central and South America, and many of the current hybrids also have a North American species as a parent. Jack grows cannas, and is a big enthusiast. As he says, the foliage "looks like a small banana tree without the trunk."
The Pfitzer Dwarfs Many gardeners prefer the smaller cannas of the "Pfitzer" group. With smaller, but brilliant, bi-colored flowers, these cannas grow to only about 16". They're great for the front of borders or patio pots, making a thick clump of handsome foliage with a bouquet that goes on all season.

Obama has come and and said what everyone knew: that cap-and-trade legislation might be split out from other green measures, which are more likely to pass Congress.
There is still a slim chance some form of cap-and-trade might go ahead in the current Congress, but even then it would probably be a pared back version such as that suggested by Republican Lindsey Graham:
Energy and climate legislation being drafted by a bipartisan group of senators may include a "hybrid" approach under which some sectors would be subject to a cap-and-trade program and others may pay a carbon fee, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) said today.
Such an approach could make the bill better suited to meet the "different needs" of different sectors of the economy, Graham told reporters after speaking to members of We Can Lead, a coalition of 150 businesses pushing for energy and climate legislation."At the end of the day we've got I think an opportunity here to price carbon using a hybrid system of the old cap-and-trade system," said Graham, who is working with Sens. John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) and Joe Lieberman (I-Connecticut) on comprehensive energy and climate legislation.
Meanwhile John Kemp of Reuters points out that the two Democrat representatives who this week promised to put forward a bill preventing the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases both voted in favour of the Waxman-Markey climate bill, which included cap-and-trade provisions.
If – and it's still not clear this is the case – the pair no longer support cap-and-trade either, it is another nail in the coffin of such a system:
Kemp writes:
Neither Skelton nor Peterson is in "chain of command" on climate legislation. But both are among the most senior Democrats in the House and immensely influential.
Crucially both voted for the climate bill first time around last year (Roll Call 477) when 44 other Democrats rebelled and the bill scraped through by a majority of just seven votes (219-212). If Skelton and Peterson now oppose the cap-and-trade component the bill's majority has effectively disappeared [ID: nGEE5B3146].
Their hostility is significant for who they are and who they represent. Both represent conservative-leaning districts that voted for Senator John McCain rather than Obama in 2008. Skelton's fourth district in Missouri broke 61-38 for McCain while Peterson's seventh district in Minnesota broke 50-47, according to data compiled by the Swing State Project.
We've written a lot here about the arguments over cap-and-trade. It's a complex solution with a complex rationale, so many are understandably wary of it. But there is a good reason why cap-and-trade is popular: it can reduce emissions by a specified level, at the lowest possible cost to the economy.
Few would argue that cap-and-trade is perfect. Such systems are complicated and efforts can backfire, as the EU's early experience highlights. It creates a massive market in allowances and offsets which, although initially fairly simple, has no guarantees that more complex and systemically risky instruments won't be derived from it. It also fails to create absolute certainty on carbon prices, which businesses need. But none of these problems is insoluble. Nor do they detract from the two big advantages of cap-and-trade:
- It creates an actual cap on emissions, rather than just setting some incentives that may or may not yield the desired reductions.
- It allows the emitters to pursue the most cost-effective ways of reducing emissions.
The IEA yesterday said that some form of carbon pricing (which generally means either a direct carbon tax, or cap-and-trade) is the only way the US will meet the its international commitment to cut emissions by 17 per cent from 2005 levels by 2020.
There are various ideas about variations on the cap-and-trade theme. One is the 'cap-and-dividend' introduced to the Senate in December by Democrat Maria Cantwell and Republican Susan Collins, although critics contend this proposal is too narrow – it only covers producers and importers of fossil fuel, not users of fuel.
One thing's for sure, though: incentives to boost certain industries are vulnerable to all kinds of politically populist moves which might not actually have an efficient, desirable or even possible outcome – look no further than ethanol mandates for an example.

Winner of the prestigious American National Book Award
Utterly gripping and beautifully told, this is a stunning rite of passage novel, set just after WW2, full of powerful and conflicting emotions, which captures the dramatic shift from child to adult in pinpoint sharp, painful detail.
Excited at the thought of the new opportunities that the family will benefit from when her stepfather returns from the war, Evie's life is turned upside down when the family suddenly take off for Palm Springs. Here Evie meets a young ex-GI who served with her stepfather with whom she falls head over heals in love. But her simple romance is played out against a backdrop of dangerous adult secrets, racism and intrigues. When tragedy strikes, Evie has to reconsider all the adults in her life and her story will determine their future.
The author amplifies the darkness and anxiety of the post-war mood whilst the storyline addresses the complexities of a society that challenged anti-semitism at the end of a war, only to find it still rife at home. Reminiscent of To Kill a Mockingbird, What I saw and How I Lied is set to become a future classic.
Summer's ending, Evie's step-father is finally home from the Second World War, and Evie is tired of her glamorous mother treating her like a little girl. Then a mysterious stranger appears; a handsome ex-GI who served with Evie's step-father. Slowly, Evie realizes that she is falling in love with him - but he has dark secrets, and a strange control over her parents. When he is found dead, Evie's world is shattered. Torn between her family and the man he loved, Evie must betray someone. The question is ...who?
'An atmospheric, coming-of-age novel set in post-war Florida, dealing with first love, anti-semitism and adultery' - The Bookseller
'A stylish, addictive brew' - Publishers Weekly
'An extraordinary story...gripping' Wall Street Journal
'What I saw and How I Lied is an addictive read unlike any other. Evie's character undergoes such a journey that the reader can truly feel her struggles.' TeensReadToo.com
'Blundell has crafted a suspenseful, historical mystery that not only subtly explores issues of post World Warr two racism, sexism and socio-economic class, but also realistically captures the headiness of first love and the crushing realisation that adults are not all powerful.' - Booklist
Judy Blundell was awarded the prestigious National Book Award for her novel What I Saw and how I Lied, which was fantastically received by readers and reviewers in the US when it was first published in 2009. It's now available in six foreign language editions. This is her first novel under her real name of Judy Blundell and her first novel for teens.Under the pen name Jude Watson, she is the author of several New York Times bestselling and award-winning series and media tie-in novels. She has written more than 100 books over 20 years, under various pen names.
Judy Blundell once dreamed of a girl sitting in a deserted lobby in Florida, and this image turned into the character of Evie in What I saw and How I Lied. She used many original source materials for research including a collection of newspapers her mother saved from December 1941 until the end of the war.

Primary Innovation: Heat Recovery
A heat recovery scheme is the most innovative component of the Energy and Climate Plan. During the planning exercise, analysis of real time energy use revealed that Stanford has a significant and simultaneous need for both heating and cooling in its buildings throughout the year. Therefore, the opportunity exists to recover heat discharged from the cooling system to the atmosphere via cooling towers to meet simultaneous campus heating loads. Analysis shows that the campus can recover up to 70 percent of the heat now discharged from the cooling system to meet at least 80 percent of simultaneous campus heating demands, significantly reducing fossil fuel and water use in the process. Based on this finding, Stanford will replace the current natural-gas powered cogeneration plant with an electricity powered Heat Recovery plant. Such a change also requires conversion of the campus steam distribution system to a hot water system because available heat recovery equipment can produce only very hot water but not high temperature and high pressure steam. Due to the significant heat recovery and lower line losses of hot water, compared to steam, the new energy system is 70 percent more efficient that the combined heat and power process provided by the current cogeneration plant.
District level heat recovery is the most innovative component of Stanford's Energy and Climate Plan. Opportunity exists to recover heat normally discharged from the cooling system to meet simultaneous campus heating loads instead.
New Heat Recovery Design
In the new heat recovery design, the waste heat collected from buildings via the chilled water loop will be captured by new heat recovery chillers and moved to a new hot water loop. The new hot water loop will replace the current steam system for delivering heat to the campus. Due to the significant heat recovery and lower line losses of hot water, compared to steam, the new system is 70 percent more efficient that the combined heat and power process provided by the current cogeneration plant.
Cogeneration vs. Heat Recovery
An energy supply system that uses fossil fuel to produce electricity and then recovers waste heat from the combustion process for heating or other productive uses is known as Combined Heat and Power (CHP), or cogeneration. Conversely, an energy system in which heat and power are produced separately, usually by on-site heat production equipment and off-site power plants respectively, is known as Separate Heat and Power (SHP).
Whether CHP or SHP is more energy efficient, economic, or environmentally preferable for a given site depends on many factors, including climate, relative heat, power loads, the energy efficiency of equipment used in each process (including off-site power production in the SHP option), and capital equipment cost.
At Stanford, these factors result in CHP and SHP being generally equal in expected overall efficiency over the long term, if natural gas is used to fuel equipment in both cases for direct comparison. However, when heat recovery or alternative forms of renewable heat production (for example, ground source heat pumping or solar hot water production) are also applied, the SHP option becomes clearly superior economically and environmentally. Given the significant amount of heat recovery that is possible at Stanford, an energy supply system featuring SHP with heat recovery is more economically and environmentally viable than CHP over the long term.
In an ongoing pursuit of sustainability, the heat recovery design will move Stanford into a new energy era with a significantly lower reliance on fossil fuel, lower energy costs, reduced GHG emissions, and less water use. Just as Stanford's move to Cogeneration 25 years ago represented a major shift in campus energy supply technology for the better, so too does heat recovery represent a significant shift of the campus energy supply to a more efficient and sustainable technology for the future.
SESI will result in immense benefits for Stanford University in the years to come. The benefits of Stanford's new energy supply system are substantial.
- As the Replacement Central Energy Facility comes online, the campus will reduce its carbon emissions, ultimately 50 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 . This reduction in carbon emissions will be accompanied by a flexible and electricity-dependent energy supply system, offering higher reliability, lower cost, and greater flexibility for greener power procurement. Having recently achieved Direct Access to the California electricity market, Stanford is now exploring opportunities for a more economic and environmentally sound power portfolio.
- Due to the significant heat recovery and lower line losses of hot water, compared to steam, the new energy system is 70 percent more efficient that the existing combined heat and power process provided by the current cogeneration plant.
- A great feature of the heat recovery design is the significant reduction in water use. Since the majority of the waste heat from the chilled water loop is reused instead of being discharged out the evaporative cooling towers, potable water use is reduced by 18 percent.
- Converting the campus to heat recovery and hot water distribution, along with other system improvements, will require an estimated $438 million investment. While the heat recovery approach has a modestly higher upfront cost than a conventional approach, it will pay Stanford back $600 million dollars over the next 40 years.
Stanford adopted a long term approach in developing climate action strategies because decisions regarding building design, energy infrastructure, and energy supply have lasting impact and should be based on a planning horizon equivalent to the lifecycle of these investments. The individual components of the plan have been consolidated into an overall energy and climate plan that provides an adept balance of investment to optimize capital management and operating costs, as well as GHG emissions.

Dell, the international computer firm, has launched support services dubbed Prosupport in different parts of Africa, Uganda inclusive.
The services will be free of charge Prosupport will enable their customers around the world to get free technical support capabilities, spare parts networks from Dell certified engineers. Uganda is one of the 10 countries in Africa that are targeted and customers will benefit from the direct expertise from the technical team from Dell partners.
"Our customers in Uganda will get all of the company's Prosupport services in the exact manner as in Europe and American market," Bradford McKenzie, the services sales director, southern and central Africa, said.
He added that through their partners, the company would be able to provide protection and advisory services for commercial customers to ensure maximum benefits. Dell said it registered sales worth $5m in Uganda in the last quarter of last year.
In Uganda, the technical team will respond to cases at a radius of 120km from the city.
"This makeover that Dell has completed in Uganda will be through advancement of support and technical expertise around the clock. It will also involve onsite repairs and phone diagnosis," McKenzie explained.

Last week, the New York Times Lens Blog highlighted the work of Misha Friedman, a Moldovan-born photographer who has documented tuberculosis patients in the Former Soviet Union. Friedman questions whether he has done any good for the patients, in the post "Saving Lives or Photographing Them?" "Most of the people you see here are dead," Friedman tells the interviewer. "My images have not really helped them. Maybe they'll help people in the future. Maybe they'll help with fund-raising here and there. But to these particular people, they did not help."
What Friedman is feeling is the same thing that I have been troubled by—that after two years of anthropological fieldwork which included living at a TB sanatorium [click here to read more about what I am doing in Romania], did I do anything for the patients whose heartbreaking stories I collected? It is easy to say in the abstract that one's photographs or research will help hypothetical future patients, but what about the person in front of our lens or talking into our voice recorder?
It's like a collapse. Since I caught this disease, I lost friendships, social circles, acquaintances. They marginalized me, bit by bit. You're no longer seen with good eyes, no longer welcomed. You're not in the position of satisfying your needs, because you can't work for a period of time, especially if you don't recover to restart your work you slowly crumble as a whole. And you end up alone. – Stefan age 37 a Romanian MDR-TB patient shortly before he died.
We are losers in society. And when you see yourself, the way you are now, and you know what you used to be, when you mattered, and worked… it's hard for you. This is why we say we are embarrassed, because you don't matter anymore, to anybody. Mircea 55, dying of XDR-TB.
Mircea's bright blue eyes well up with tears as he tells me about is life before he contracted tuberculosis in 2005. He is a tall man with large hands who used to be a coal miner. Now, he looks much older than his years and he always looks sad. He hasn't seen his family in a very long time. No one comes to visit him at this mountaintop Romanian TB sanatorium. Most of all, he wishes he could see his little grandchild. He doesn't have any pictures, he says it hurts for him to remember those better times. The drugs that Mircea is taking are not going to cure him. XDR-TB or Extensively Drug Resistant TB is resistant to most common treatments. Before I left in August, I took some portraits of Mircea on his bed, and had them printed for him. He didn't remember the last time someone took his picture. Now at least his family will have something to remember him by. When I return to Romania next month, I don't expect to find him alive.
Before I left for Romania in 2009, my department chair pulled me aside and gave me some advice. He told me he was worried about me–that as mentally tough as I thought I was, conducting this research was going to be so much harder on me than I thought. He asked me to please take care of myself. At the time, I dismissed what he said. I have always worked with marginalized and sick people, homeless people, sex-workers, crack and heroin users.
I think I realized that I was in over my head when Mr. Popa died. I remember sitting on his bed watching his sunken-in chest moving up and down with each strained breath. He told me he was afraid to go to sleep for fear of dying. I held his hand and could only focus on how cold it was. He died crying, waiting for his son who would never arrive. He wasn't an old man at 52, like many patients he didn't even make it to retirement age.
I remember meeting with master's student who was transcribing some of my interviews and warning her that the content is heartbreaking and that she would have to be able to handle that. To this she asked, "so how are you handling it?" She caught me off guard and I replied with complete honesty, "I'm not handling it well at all. I'm a mess."
Living at the sanatorium, listening day after day to people who had lost hope I soon began to realize that for many of these patients, there would be no happy ending, no recovery and no beautiful reunion with their family. Many of their families had moved on without them. Their lungs were riddled with holes and in some cases, the medicines simply were not working. They would tell me "yes, TB is curable, but not for me. All too often they were right. They would die even before I was able to get the interviews transcribed. I never told my research assistants when they were transcribing a dead person's words, but I think sometimes they knew. It always left me wishing I could have done something, for them while they were alive, besides just the gifts of coffee, chocolate, crossword puzzles and an empathetic ear.
At my best, I feel optimistic. I'm glad that people are finally paying attention to the problem of TB in Romania, and I am happy to have become an advocate for this cause. Unfortunately comes at the expense of more scholarly pursuits (such as completing my dissertation after nine years). I don't know what will ultimately come out of my efforts to help the patients. Since 2011, I have worked in partnership with the US Embassy and the Romanian National TB Control Program on new anti-TB advocacy and education campaign. NGOs have used my photographs and patient stories in their publications and one of my favorite patients is even quoted in a World Health Organization brochure. I'm working with NGOs to develop funding proposals. Lately, I have been writing things to inform and influence (hopefully) policy. The worst part though, is I'm haunted by the ghosts of dead patients who wanted me to give them a voice. I still have nightmares about them, but not as many as I used to. When I returned to America, a colleague told me that my "fieldwork had traumatized me and I need to come to terms with that." I had never thought of it that way. As difficult as this research was for me, it does not compare to what the patients are going through. Now that I have at least a partial understanding of what they are going through, all I can think of is how to improve their situation improved. How can I help to reduce the suffering and death that this curable bacterial disease causes? I know these are activist and advocate questions and many will say my objectivity has been compromised, but at the end of the day, objectively documenting suffering does not feel like enough.

I have the exact same issue. Did you find a resolution? I've been using Vista on my laptop for the chat portion and streaming simply because I have no alternative. Flash is fine and shouldn't be an issue.

HGR Recap 3/16 - St. Patrick's Day Special!

Well, Johnny Cueto had the rookie implosion that we all should have expected. Six innings, five earned, and a lot of miserable fantasy owners. Let's hope you didn't start him or Francisco Liriano in his debut start. Anyway, let's get to the good stuff.
Q: I picked up Nate McLouth when Jeremy Hermida was on the DL. Now Hermida's back and I want to keep McLouth. Who should I drop from my team below?
C Brian McCann
1B Carlos Pena
2B Chase Utley
3B Kevin Youkilis
SS Michael Young
OF Manny Ramirez
OF Hideki Matsui
OF Jeff Francoeur
OF Jeremy Hermida
SS Stephen Drew
1B Carlos Delgado
C Ramon Hernandez
OF Barry Bonds
3B Eric Chavez
SP Brandon Webb
SP Erik Bedard
SP Matt Cain
SP Greg Maddux
SP Mark Buerhle
RP Billy Wagner
RP Huston Street
RP Todd Jones
--Laura, Sacramento, CA
I don't think I would drop any of your current starters in favor of McLouth. After all, Ramirez, Matsui, and Francoeur all bring more to the fantasy table. The question comes down to whether or not you want to keep Hermida over McLouth or anyone on your bench. I think your best bet would be to drop either Barry Bonds or Eric Chavez, if you really want to keep McLouth.
If Bonds were to come back at midseason, and even that's doubtful, he'd only be good for 15 homers and 40 RBIs. McLouth will give you that, plus he'll throw in 15 steals for good measure. Chavez is too injury prone for my tastes, and you've got a solid third baseman already, though you may want an upgrade in power there.
Now, should you drop Hermida for McLouth? I don't think so. Hermida should hit 10 more homers, add about 20 points in batting average, and only steal about 5 less bases. He's more valuable, especially hitting in a lineup with Hanley Ramirez, Mike Jacobs, and Dan Uggla. That Marlin offense has been scoring runs.
My advice would be to drop either Bonds or Chavez.
Q: What's the deal with David Ortiz? I drafted him early and he's killing my fantasy stats!
--Ben, Boston, MA
Well, Ben, this may or may not be time to panic. Ortiz sat out last night's game against the Yankees, because manager Terry Francona wanted to give him a night off. I don't know if the big man is pressing or if his knee is bothering him. Heck, it could be both.
After watching Ortiz hit, I can see that his back knee isn't bent as it normally is. That means he's having some issues transferring weight from one leg to the other during his swing. That likely means his knees, which he underwent offseason surgery on, are bothering him.
So, what do we do (I also own Ortiz in a keeper league)? We can't trade him right now, since we'd get no value. I'd say stash him on your bench and just try to find the hot hand in terms of free agents. That's what I'm doing. Ortiz is a talented hitter with a ton of power and a great batting eye. He'll turn things around. Otherwise, my fantasy season is probably sunk.

Can downtown development redeem the historic mall?
The last decade has been brutal for Milwaukee's malls, which one by one have shut down, supplanted by bigger new shopping centers in neighboring suburbs. With the closures of Capitol Court, Northridge and Southgate, Grand Avenue is now the city's last indoor mall, and it's facing difficult times.

The Big Year – Antonella [4ish]

Yesterday evening I watched The Big Year, a comedy about three bird-watchers set on a contest to see who can spot the greatest number of species in a single year.
Far from being a bird-watcher (the number next to my name in the title refers to the number of species I may have spot in one year), I've taken some pictures of birds now and then…
Needless to say, I haven't raced around North America to do so but only around the amazing Dublin Bay!
