People who get plenty of sun exposure do not require supplemental vitamin D, since sunlight increases vitamin D synthesis when it strikes bare skin. Although the recommended dietary allowance for vitamin D is 200 IU per day for adults, there is some evidence that elderly people need 800 to 1,000 IU per day for maximum effects on preserving bone density and preventing fractures.117, 118, 119, 120 Sun-deprived people should take no less than 600 IU per day and ideally around 1,000 IU per day.121, 122
Cod liver oil is an excellent dietary source of vitamin D, as are vitamin D-fortified foods. Traces of vitamin D are found in egg yolks and butter. However, the majority of vitamin D in the body is created during a chemical reaction that starts with sunlight exposure to the skin. Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is the animal form of this vitamin.
In adults, vitamin D deficiency may result in a softening of the bones known as osteomalacia. This condition is treated with vitamin D, sometimes in combination with calcium supplements. Osteomalacia should be diagnosed, and its treatment monitored, by a doctor. In people of any age, vitamin D deficiency causes abnormal bone formation. In addition, vitamin D deficiency can cause muscle weakness, which improves with vitamin D supplementation.123 Vitamin D deficiency occurs more commonly following winter, owing to restricted sunlight exposure during that season. Living in an area with a lot of atmospheric pollution, which can block the sun's ultraviolet rays, also appears to increase the risk of vitamin D deficiency.124125
Vitamin D deficiency is more common in strict vegetarians (who avoid vitamin D-fortified dairy foods), dark-skinned people,126 alcoholics, and people with liver or kidney disease. People with liver and kidney disease can make vitamin D but cannot activate it.
Vitamin D deficiency is more common in people suffering from intestinal malabsorption, which may have occurred following previous intestinal surgeries, or from celiac disease.127 People with insufficient pancreatic function (e.g., those with pancreatitis or cystic fibrosis) tend to be deficient in vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is also common in individuals with hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease), particularly women.128
In children, vitamin D deficiency is called rickets and causes a bowing of bones not seen in adults with vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency is common among people with hyperparathyroidism, a condition in which the parathyroid gland is overactive. In a study of 124 people with mild hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D levels were below normal in 7% of them and suboptimal in 53% of them.129 Vitamin D deficiency is also common in men with advanced prostate cancer. In one study, 44% of 16 men with advanced prostate cancer had decreased blood levels of vitamin D.130
One in seven adults has been reported to be deficient in vitamin D.131 In one study, 42% of hospitalized patients under age 65 were reported to be vitamin D deficient.132 In this same study, 37% of the people were found to be deficient in vitamin D, despite the fact they were eating the currently recommended amount of this nutrient. Vitamin D deficiency is particularly common among the elderly. Age-related decline in vitamin D status may be due to reduced absorption, transport, or liver metabolism of vitamin D.133

(Updates market reaction in fifth paragraph.)
June 2 (Bloomberg) -- Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan signaled he'll resign once a solution to the nation's post- earthquake crisis is in sight, in an appeal to ruling party lawmakers to reject a no-confidence vote today.
Today's motion could attract enough support within his Democratic Party of Japan to pass, requiring Kan either to call new elections or resign within ten days. Rising discontent over his handling of the March earthquake that precipitated the worst nuclear disaster in 25 years has emboldened opposition lawmakers to force the vote.
"I'd like to pass on my responsibility to a younger generation once we reach a certain stage in tackling the disaster and I've fulfilled my role," Kan said in a nationally televised meeting of DPJ lawmakers ahead of today's vote. "Until then I want to fulfill my responsibility with you. I ask you to unite and reject the motion."
The possibility of yet another change in government has rattled markets, adding to concerns over the nation's debt burden and sending bond yields up. Even if Kan survives the vote, the lack of ruling party unity may leave his government paralyzed amid the country's biggest crisis since World War II.
Japanese government bond futures rose after Kan's statement. with ten-year yields dropping the most in about four weeks, falling five basis points to 1.13 percent. The yen was little changed at 81.01 per dollar at 2:15 p.m. in Tokyo, while the benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average fell 1.6 percent.
Hatoyama Urges Unity
Former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama urged party unity in defeating the measure, telling lawmakers at the same meeting that he would like Kan to step down once a second post-quake reconstruction bill is drafted.
"Regardless of the outcome, the process will further divide the DPJ, further weaken Kan and make it all the more difficult to deal with this crisis," said Gerald Curtis, a Japanese politics professor at Columbia University in New York. Politicians "are so focused on their petty power struggles that the national interest has clearly taken a back seat."
The main opposition Liberal Democratic Party, the New Komeito party and the Sunrise Party of Japan yesterday evening submitted the motion to the Diet's lower house. The chamber began debate around 1:30 p.m. The vote will take place around 3 p.m., NHK Television said.
LDP leader Sadakazu Tanigaki yesterday repeated his call for Kan to step down in a parliamentary debate, saying the prime minister's resignation "would pave the way for cross-party unity." Kan, 64, reiterated his intention to remain in office.
Vote Support
Sixty-two ruling party legislators expressed their intention to support the measure, the Asahi newspaper reported today. The DPJ and its allies hold 309 of the seats in the 480- member House of Representatives. The motion needs 240 votes to pass as the parliamentary speaker doesn't vote, though the threshold may drop if some lawmakers abstain.
The Asahi reported that many of the DPJ members who said they would support the motion are part of a group headed by indicted former party chief Ichiro Ozawa, who in an interview last week with the Wall Street Journal said Kan should quit as soon as possible. Ozawa will vote in favor and may form a new party if he is expelled from the DPJ, Kyodo News reported, citing an unidentified person close to him.
"At this moment, I think passage of the no-confidence motion will be difficult," Tokyo-based independent political analyst Hirotada Asakawa said in a phone interview. "But the DPJ will essentially be split and Kan will have to step down as early as this month."
Kan Successor
Possible successors to Kan include Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano, former foreign minister Seiji Maehara and DPJ Secretary-General Katsuya Okada. All were among a group voters cited as preferable candidates in a Nikkei newspaper survey published May 30.
Kan's approval rating was 26 percent in an Asahi poll published May 16, up five percentage points from a month ago, while his unfavorable rating was 51 percent. Almost two-thirds of those asked disapproved of his response to the crisis at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima Dai-Ichi atomic power plant, where reactor meltdowns sent radiation into the air and sea and prompted the evacuation of 50,000 households.
The International Atomic Energy Agency yesterday said Japan underestimated the tsunami hazard at several nuclear power plants and called for greater independence for its regulators.
Rise to Power
Several opposition groups coalesced to form the DPJ in 1998 and the party came to power in 2009, ending the monopoly of the LDP, which had ruled for all but 10 months since 1955. Kan took office after Hatoyama resigned in June last year when he reneged on an election pledge to move a U.S. military base from the island of Okinawa, angering local residents and prompting a coalition partner to bolt the government.
Kan has been unable to reach common ground with the LDP over efforts to rebuild in the wake of the disaster, which left almost 24,000 people dead or missing. He has also failed to win opposition support for legislation authorizing 44.3 trillion yen ($545 billion) in government bond sales to finance Japan's debt.
Moody's Investors Service on May 31 put the country's debt rating on review for a downgrade, citing concerns over the government's ability to fashion and "achieve a credible deficit reduction target" and the "intensifying level of political challenges" for Kan.
Japan's bonds yesterday fell for a second day, pushing 10- year yields near a two-week high, on political concerns.
'Political Vacuum'
"International markets are taking notice of this political vacuum called the Diet," said political analyst Jeff Kingston, head of the Asian Studies program at Temple University's Tokyo campus.
Kingston said he doubted the no-confidence measure would pass, adding that "when it comes to pulling the trigger," some of those who say they will back it will change their minds. He cited Edano and Okada as possible successors to Kan.
Parliament last month approved an initial 4 trillion yen reconstruction package and Kan yesterday said the next stimulus, which needs opposition support, will be on a "big scale." Kan said he may extend the current parliament session, scheduled to end June 22, to consider drafting the plan.
Vote Punishment
Government officials have said the no-confidence motion will fail and signaled that DPJ lawmakers who support it will be punished.
"Voting for the no-confidence measure would not be the action of a ruling party member," Edano told reporters yesterday in Tokyo. Okada
Ozawa, who has been suspended from the party for the duration of his trial on charges of violating campaign financing laws, engineered the DPJ's 2009 landslide lower-house victory. Kan defeated Ozawa in a party leadership election in September and has marginalized him since, provoking a backlash from Ozawa supporters.
"I want Mr. Kan to make a bold decision and step down," DPJ lawmaker and Ozawa ally Kenko Matsuki said May 31 in an interview, adding that he will support the no-confidence vote.

Citigroup's profits tumbled 96 percent in the second quarter, dragged down by a huge charge related to its recently announced deal with the Justice Department to settle an investigation into its sale of mortgage securities in the run up to the financial crisis. The charge for the legal settlement totaled $3.8 billion, marring an otherwise relatively strong quarter for the bank that was helped by better than expected trading results. Not accounting for the legal charge, or other one-time items, Citigroup exceeded Wall Street expectations in the second quarter with adjusted earnings of $1.24 a share, On that basis, analysts had been expecting Citigroup would earn $1.05 a share, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters…Earlier on Monday, the bank announced a $7 billion deal with the Justice Department. The deal includes a $4 billion cash penalty, the largest yet by a large bank to settle federal investigations of mortgage misdeeds. [Dealbook]

What time do the Citi layoff numbers come out? Im thinking about 7-10% rif is about the number
what's 7-10% of 0?

You have it all wrong. We don't want to send the wrong signal with a RIF. We will just announce that bonuses will be "lower" in order to improve earnings.

Re:All I know about 1973 .. (214 comments)
Only the compiler/bridge needs to know about the physical resources you work with. The user only needs a model of the hardware to work with. The compiler/bridge should then be able to produce the optimal code with no language overhead. Unfortunately, the way software is done today is still very ad hoc. There is little or no state modelling so you could map out or simulate what happens with the resources. We'd need model representations for all the hardware.
Re:All I know about 1973 .. (214 comments)
You're ignoring the reason C went the way it does: performance. 'int' can translate to whatever is fastest, not whatever the spec demands (like in Java, say). It's a tradeoff, and as C is a language which puts speed over just about anything else, I can't fault their decision there.
C actually makes it a lot harder to produce the best, optimized code, because the language constructs are too closely tied to the machine domain. An optimizing compiler has less leeway in how it can re-arrange and streamline the logic to reach the goal.
Re:All I know about 1973 .. (214 comments)
The thing to get here is that there are basically two kinds of OOP, so to speak.
Here's a short discussion that covers it:
In Alan Kay land objects are sub-computers that receive messages from other sub-computers. In Barbara Liskov world objects are abstract data with operators and a hidden representation.
Kay OOP is closely related to the actor model by Carl Hewitt and others.
Liskov had her own idea of OOP, and she was not aware of Smalltalk (Kay, Ingalls) at the time. She started work on her own language, CLU, at the same time as Smalltalk was developed.
All I know about 1973 .. (214 comments)
.. is that C was seen as a major setback by Frances E. Allen and others.
It [C] was a huge setback for--in my opinion--languages and compilers, and the ability to deliver performance, easily, to the user.
Frances E. Allen
ACM 2006 Conference
The context here surrounds abstractions and not allowing users (programmers) to play with pointers directly (C, and later, C++), which is a setback concerning optimization, because of the assumptions/connections you make about/with the underlying machine.
If you want to learn more about the ideas of the 1960s and 1970s, I highly recommend looking up talks by Alan C. Kay ("machine OOP" which is Smalltalk in a nutshell), Carl Hewitt (actor model), Dan Ingalls, Frances E. Allen (programming language abstractions and optimization), Barbara Liskov ("data OOP" which is C++ in a nutshell), and don't stop there.
Re:Obligatory XKCD (479 comments)
I love blindly copying memes..
In this case, however, things actually did get worse on many points. Look up talks by Alan C. Kay, and Frances E. Allen at the ACM to get you started. For example, C, which UNIX and Linux is based on, is a giant step back regarding concurrency and code generation, already realized the day the language was released in 1973.
Applies to laser printers as well (180 comments)
There was a similar study on this surrounding laser printers.
Re:Use the software yourself (205 comments)
I know what you mean, and this is only about context.
What you may want to try is to use context tests.
Example: You start the program, then go; I want to do this (think of some action); then you do that action. The key point being not to be allowed to think too much about what you do. It's not an "academic approach," but it's quite efficient, especially in games. However, the psychological factor is to avoid things that hurt the ego; this is especially true when developers are not able to distance themselves from their work; it's just a tool.
Re:Use the software yourself (205 comments)
Programmers are so binary.
Re:Use the software yourself (205 comments)
Programmers have to know the domain for which they are developing.
You have to make using the software part of your time, just as code review shuffles through roles.
For your example, if your software has so many unknown states when shipped, it's fair to say it's based on luck if it works right.
You would actually need an environment where you could map out states, and simulate input devices.
Software development is still young, and I don't think we know how to do it right yet.
Use the software yourself (205 comments)
There are many bugs that would easily be detected by actually using the application on a daily basis.
Users do not work for you. When they do post bug reports, it is most likely in frustration.
Maybe it's too expensive to get their own place? (770 comments)
In most countries you have to work 5-15 years, full time, to save up enough capital to get a house loan from any bank. You can rent, of course, but that's a waste of money, and you most often have to keep moving. Usually when contracts expire, the price goes up.
Just out of school? Good luck getting any job! Student loan? Even better luck having to pay down that loan, and your bank loan, and other costs connected with your apartment.
The system keeps a tight leash on its citizens. People who do make it on their own cling to their paychecks to make it one month at a time. What a fucked up world to live in.
Also, to counter all the stereotype comments mentioning porn, games, everything is paid for, mom does the cooking; you can still live at home and pay rent for your 10m^2 room, do your own laundry, buy or make your own food. Who would have thought?
Re:Finally somebody said it! (204 comments)
Putting a system in/out of stand-by/hibernation is probably another risk factor with SSD drives.
Some points of failure:
SATA SSD Drive - SATA Cable - SATA Controller - Resource Manager - "Operating System" - SATA Driver
In my personal experience, the manufacturer wanted to blame the SATA controller without providing me with any proof.
In summary, SSDs are fast, but they may die fast too. SSDs are most likely not any more or less reliable than mechanical drives, except for purely demonstrational purposes, such as dropping a computer on the floor (unless that caused a drop in power to the drive from other components).
Problem may be coupled with lack of abstraction (536 comments)
I suggest the author has a talk with Alan C. Kay.
Re:What, exactly, are they suing for, again? (304 comments)
Fingerprinting, it seems. I guess even relaying a MAC (the unique identifier attached to network interface cards) address would infringe on this patent.
It's basically what programmers did back in the day to check whether the processor was supported by their program, or to conditionally execute floating point instructions, if the platform had a floating point unit. The *only* difference here is that the same information is used to form an identifier to check whether the system platform has changed since the last time the program started, and it stores this information somewhere to run a comparison against.
It's kind of reminiscent of the public key system.

Live Superfoods Joins Locavore Movement Through CarbonFree® Partnership
Written by LindaThere have been a variety of studies published in recent years showing that vegan and vegetarian diets produce a lower carbon footprint than omnivore or carnivore diets. Raw vegans further reduce their dietary footprint by greatly reducing the energy used to prepare foods. But what about the locavore movement and efforts to source food as close to home as possible?
Live Superfoods, a purveyor of raw, organic, vegan foods and nutritional supplements, recognized that their healthy diet options often came from distant lands, thus increasing the carbon footprint due to packaging materials and shipping emissions. In order to reduce these emissions, Live Superfoods took several steps to reuse and recycle shipping cartons and packing materials wherever possible, use recycled paper tape for sealing shipments and recyclable fill materials instead of bubble wrap and Styrofoam peanuts. Then, to neutralize the remaining shipping emissions, Live Superfoods joined the CarbonFree® Business Partnership program four years ago. The CarbonFree® Partner program makes it simple and affordable for Live Superfoods to mitigate its remaining operational emissions, including all shipping emissions and all employee commuting emissions, on an annual basis.
Live Superfoods purchases enough carbon offsets from Carbonfund.org to offset the shipment of products not only from their warehouse to their customers, but also from their global suppliers to the distribution warehouse. Consequently, their products have a lower carbon footprint than what most locavores consider local.
"As individuals, we're extremely excited about the locavore movement. But since Live Superfoods specializes in superfoods that are typically grown in exotic places, our company hasn't been able to participate," explains Tom Burke, CEO of Live Superfoods. "Now, by purchasing carbon offsets from Carbonfund.org, we're able to import and deliver our foods to the ultimate consumer carbon-free. Our products now have a smaller carbon footprint than foods delivered by farmers to the local farmers' market!"
Live Superfoods also participates in their power company's Blue SkySM Renewable Energy program, which supports a blend of 100% Pacific Northwest renewable resources from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. This initiative further neutralizes Live Superfoods' annual operational emissions, and together with the CarbonFree® Business Partnership, underscores Live Superfoods' leadership position as a truly sustainable provider of healthy raw vegan foods, supplements and personal care products.
Over Half of Americans Connect Extreme Weather and Climate Change
Written by JessieIn a previous blog post about The Art of Climate Change Communication, I covered the six American publics and how they perceive climate change. The Dismissive is one of the smallest groups, making up a mere eight percent of the American public. They do not believe climate change is happening, nor do they believe it is human caused or a serious problem. Although small, they are very vocal. Sometimes it's easy for climate change communicators to be discouraged by this group. Nonetheless, now there is evidence that more than half of Americans (58%) say, "global warming is affecting weather in the United States."
The Extreme Weather and Climate Change in the American Mind report is based on findings from a nationally representative survey – Climate Change in the American Mind – conducted by the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication. These two organizations interviewed 1,045 adults between April 8 and 15, and found that "many Americans believe global warming made recent extreme weather and climatic events 'more severe,' specifically: 2012 as the warmest year on record in the United States (50%); the ongoing drought in the Midwest and the Great Plains (49%); Superstorm Sandy (46%); and Superstorm Nemo (42%)." The survey has a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
Typically, climate scientists avoid making a connection between climate change and the day-to-day weather. Their stance used to be that no single weather event is caused by climate change. In recent years, however, climate science has advanced to the point where researchers can see climate change's impact on individual heat waves, droughts, hurricanes and other storms. At the very least, many are ready to admit that climate change makes extraordinary weather worse. And most of the American public agrees.
The report released this week also highlighted that, "overall, 85 percent of Americans report that they experienced one or more types of extreme weather in the past year, most often citing extreme high winds (60%) and extreme heat (51%)." It is part of The Psychology of Climate Change that humans need to tangibly experience phenomena in order to connect with it on a deeper level. We comprehend global warming is a serious threat more easily when we see the effects of extreme weather events such as Superstorm Sandy.
While it is vindicating to climate change communicators that our country is beginning to make the important connection between climate change and extreme weather, I am hoping the knowledge coalesces into further global warming realizations and ultimately stimulates a grass-roots movement that engenders meaningful change. Knowing there is a problem is an important first step. Doing something about the problem is an even more important next step.
CarbonFree® Partner Macro-Mediterranean Holistic Nutrition Delivers Healthful Meals with Lower Carbon Footprint
Written by LindaThe Environmental Working Group released a new Meat Eater's Guide to Climate Change and Health that explains the relative benefits, both for health and for the environment, of eating more legumes and vegetables and less meat. The report recommends some simple actions that everyone can take to reduce the impact of the human diet on the environment, and perhaps shed a few pounds and improve heart health along the way. The main tenets of the report to achieve a healthier and more environmentally sustainable diet are very basic: eat less and waste nothing; eat more plants; eliminate meat and cheese at least once a week, and substitute sustainably-fished seafood or poultry for beef or lamb whenever possible.
GHG data based on lifecycle assessment by CleanMetrics. Click here to review the chart in detail.
One diet that rates highly in environmental sustainability is the macrobiotic diet, an ancient diet proven to be effective for healthful living. Originally from Japan, the principle behind the macrobiotic diet combines tenets of Zen Buddhism with a Western-style vegetarian diet. The word "macrobiotic" comes from the Greek and essentially means "long life" or "great life." If you're drawn to the concept of eating a natural, organic, plant-based diet and embracing a Zen-like spirituality in both your life and food selections – and lowering your diet's carbon footprint along the way -- then a macrobiotic diet may be for you.
But a macrobiotic diet requires time to prepare and diligence in sourcing the proper ingredients. This time and effort requirement has made it difficult for many to pursue a macrobiotic diet lifestyle, until now.
CarbonFree® Business Partner Macro-Mediterranean Holistic Nutrition provides a simple solution – they offer nationwide meals home delivery service of their 100% vegan meals, incorporating traditional Mediterranean foods and spices, and utilizing macrobiotic principles of food preparation. And Macro-Mediterranean Holistic Nutrition has taken an extra step to enhance the sustainability of their operation by making the commitment to be a CarbonFree® business. They're neutralizing all annual operational emissions while recycling and composting over ninety percent of the waste generated by production en route to becoming a "zero waste" company.
Delivery to the Boston area is free and they offer economical and carbon neutral shipping options to the rest of the country.
"We have partnered with Carbonfund.org to help us achieve the goal of having a positive effect on the planet that sustains us by working with them to calculate our carbon footprint, and then donating in excess of that amount to help fund Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction projects that invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency, reforestation and avoided deforestation," explains Jeremy L. Hayward-Thomas, President of Macro-Mediterranean Holistic Nutrition. "Through these donations, we try to do our small part to help support Carbonfund.org in their initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions at a global scale, and feel like this way our efforts can go beyond just what we could achieve on our own."
Evaluate the carbon footprint of your weekly diet and consider making some changes that will reduce the carbon emissions from your meal choices and may well improve your health along the way.
Luggage Forward® Clients Offset 367 Metric Tonnes of Carbon Emissions
Written by reprinted with permissionLuggage Shipping Company's Carbon Offset Program Marks Fifth Anniversary
BOSTON, April 26, 2013 – Luggage Forward, the leading provider of doorstep to destination luggage delivery, marks the fifth anniversary of offering carbon-neutral door-to-door luggage shipments for travelers worldwide. Luggage Forward's Carbon Offset Program began in 2008 in partnership with Carbonfund.org, the leading nonprofit provider of carbon offset and climate solutions.
Since the program's inception, thousands of clients have chosen to offset the carbon emissions generated shipping luggage from their home directly to their destination. The amount of carbon offset during the life of this program is equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions from more than 41,000 gallons of gasoline consumed, or the equivalent of taking 76 passenger vehicles off the road for a year.
"Many of our clients appreciate having the option to offset the carbon impact of their travel, so that the spectacular places they visit can be preserved for generations to come," said Zeke Adkins, Co-Founder of Luggage Forward, "we're pleased to have given our clients this choice since 2008."
Luggage Forward was the first, and remains the only, door-to-door luggage delivery service to offer such a program. However, many major shipping providers have since joined this effort and now offer carbon neutral shipping. To mark the fifth consecutive year of participation in the CarbonFree® Shipping Program, Carbonfund.org will be planting 50 trees in recognition of Luggage Forward at the end of the year.
About Luggage Forward
Since 2004, Luggage Forward has set the standard in door-to-door delivery of luggage and sports equipment. The smart alternative to carrying and checking bags, Luggage Forward's service is transforming today's travel experience for those who demand the utmost in convenience, reliability and predictability. By leveraging a worldwide network of shipping partners, innovative technology and honest, unparalleled customer care Luggage Forward guarantees that bags will be delivered safely and on-time.

Legislation Could Level the Playing Field for Renewable Energy
Written by JessieFor decades, fossil fuel companies have enjoyed the benefit of master limited partnerships (MLPs). A MLP is a business structure that acts like a corporation with its corporate stock trading on the open market, but is taxed as a partnership rather than at the corporate tax rate. This allows investors to buy and sell their shares in the public markets, and project developers to access cheaper capital through the markets. It's an attractive tax benefit to be a MLP; an advantage that is inaccessible currently to renewable energy investment.
Since the 1980s, Congress has enabled investors to bundle energy projects like oil and gas pipelines and other fossil fuel developments from companies that extract, process or transport "depletable" natural resources and exempted them from corporate income taxes. The word "depletable" specifically excludes renewable energy.
U.S. Senator Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat, introduced a bill last year that would give wind, solar and other renewable projects the same tax benefit. The Master Limited Partnerships Parity Act was re-introduced this week by a bipartisan group of senators.
In order to effectively combat climate change, renewables need to be priced at, or better yet, lower than fossil fuels. It's easier to sell shares to individuals and institutional investors such as pension funds when renewable projects are set up as MLPs. Widening the pool of potential investors adds new competition, which could lower the cost of financing projects, and in the end reduce the cost of renewable power.
Is leveling the playing field for wind, solar and other renewable projects the magic bullet to renewable energy investment? No, but it is a step in the right direction. The Master Limited Partnerships Parity Act is actually part of a broader toolkit, one that the federal government has used successfully in the past to develop domestic energy resources. Tax benefits such as the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit remain essential tools within the renewable energy industry.
Other tax reforms the industry and its supporters say will help level the playing field with fossil fuels include allowing renewable companies to organize as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and letting renewable tax credits be claimed by more types of investors. In December of 2012, a bipartisan group of 29 U.S. lawmakers sent a letter to the President calling for changes to both MLPs and REITs.
Even with bipartisan support in a deeply divided Congress, the bill faces some serious obstacles. A 2011 Congressional Research Service report estimated that extending MLPs to renewable energy companies would cost the U.S. Treasury about $2.8 billion between 2010 and 2014. At the moment, the broad political momentum in Congress involves eliminating loopholes and exemptions in order to raise revenue and lower tax rates. The report suggests that if leveling the playing field is the endgame, the alternative is closing the tax loophole for oil and gas companies.
Personally, I want to stop global warming and move into a sustainable energy future. Let your Congressional Representatives know you want them to support the Master Limited Partnerships Parity Act.

Leading European Bottled Water Company Earns CarbonFree® Certification from NSF International
Written by AlterraJana, Inc. leading the bottled water industry to a more carbon-neutral future
ANN ARBOR, Mich., USA and ZAGREB, Croatia (April 17, 2013) – Leading South Eastern Europe bottled water producer Jana, Inc. (dba Jamnica d.d.) has earned CarbonFree® certification from Carbonfund.org and NSF Sustainability, a division of global public health organization NSF International. CarbonFree® product certification is a credible, transparent way for Jana to provide carbon-neutral bottled water products to its customers in North America.
Carbon footprints, water quality and safety are important topics to consumers. An independent survey conducted on behalf of NSF International revealed that 55 percent of safety-minded consumers* are concerned about their carbon footprint, and 61 percent are concerned about the quality and safety of bottled water products.
Jamnica, as part of Agrokor Company, is the largest manufacturer of natural mineral water and non-alcoholic beverages in Croatia with more than 180 years of tradition. To address the environmental impacts of its products, Jana underwent a detailed life cycle assessment to measure the carbon emissions produced from its bottled water products in North America. Jana then offset its carbon emissions through investment in third-party validated renewable energy, energy efficiency and forestry carbon offset projects provided by Carbonfund.org, a leading nonprofit and developer of the CarbonFree® Product Certification program, the first carbon neutral product label in North America.
In addition to CarbonFree® certification, Jana has held NSF bottled water certification since 2008. This program requires annual product testing and facility audits to ensure ongoing compliance with the strict quality and safety standards of the program.
"The NSF bottled water and CarbonFree® certification labels on Jana's bottled water products communicate that Jana is committed to both the health and safety of its customers as well as reducing its environmental impact," said Tom Bruursema, NSF Sustainability General Manager.
"Jana is the first product in the region certified by the Carbonfund.org Foundation, Inc. Thus, we are very proud to be environmentally friendly in keeping with our responsibilities as the biggest producer of water in Croatia," said Ivana Petricevic, Jamnica Quality Director.
"With more companies recognizing the importance and value of offering carbon-neutral products, carbon content labeling is a vital tool for companies to market their commitment to sustainability," said Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "Our CarbonFree®label is widely recognized by companies throughout North America as a preferred mark that assures a comprehensive process was used to achieve carbon neutrality."
How the CarbonFree® Product Certification Program Works
The CarbonFree® Product Certification program uses life cycle assessments (LCAs) to determine the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over a product's entire life cycle. GHG emissions (expressed as carbon dioxide equivalents) that cannot be reduced or eliminated from the products' life cycle are offset or 'neutralized' with third-party validated renewable energy, energy efficiency and forestry carbon offset projects.
A carbon offset is a verifiable reduction in carbon emissions somewhere in the world other than where the emission is generated. These external reductions offer clean energy transformation (e.g. wind, solar), sequestration (e.g. forestry) and clean technology (e.g. energy efficiency). The projects also offer a range of benefits including conservation, clean water, job creation and innovation. Credits are generated when a project is verified and registered – allowing companies to purchase these credits and offset the emissions produced in the manufacturing and use of their products. These credits are then permanently 'retired' on behalf of the product/company.
CarbonFree® certified products earn the use of the CarbonFree® mark along with being listed in the Carbonfund.org online product certification database. The CarbonFree® mark can be found on a variety of products today, including food, beverage, electronics and apparel.

This is something that came up at the edge of my garden. I took this picture in late September. It grew only about a foot tall. The leaves are aromatic, almost perfumey, but since it's bloomed I don't detect much smell from the leaves. They taste bitter. I thought at the time that it might be a basil, as I bought Holy basil seed from someone on eBay and there were lots of different kinds of basil that came up from that seed. But the seed cases of basil are rounded and this has tubular seed cases, like maybe an agastache?? I don't know if there will be seed or not. The flowers were blue and unimpressive. Been here three summers now and have not seen this till now, so it's not a native weed. Might be something the birds planted. I will go out this morning and break some of it off to bring in. Helen, you mentioned you were ready for another mystery, here ya go..... (and anyone else too). I'm having laser surgery on my knee today so may not be online for a few days. They tell me recuperation time is short. |

OK, and here's what I picked today. Some kind of mint maybe? Not much smell OR taste from that leaf today. That's it from me till I can get back online after surgery, which may be a couple of days. Thanks in advance to all who reply. Ilene |
I have lots of this. Is this what you have? I hope your treatment goes well. |
Here is a link that might be useful: perilla
Looks like perilla to me too. It's a Korean cooking herb, comes in either green or red leaves. The red leaves turn green after it blooms, in fall. I think it has lost its usefulnes in cooking at that point. I like it as a contrast to other plants in the garden but when it gets ugly in the fall I pull it out. By that time it has reseeded and there is plenty for next year. Sandy |

Yep, it looks like you hit the nail right on the head. I've always had the purple perilla but this is the first time I've seen the green. Helen, that link that you sent was very informative. Wish I'd known that a tea made from the leaves was good for nausea and I'd have had them all picked before frost. Surgery turned out to be arthroscopic, not laser, and was a bigger deal than the surgeon made it sound like. I was sick as a dog after surgery and this morning, four days after surgery, was the first time I've actually been able to get downstairs to my office . He told Hubs he did some scraping and repaired a torn meniscus and did something else Hubs couldn't remember. I have a followup appointment in a few days, I'll get the scoop then. Still a ways to go, still using the walker. I got downstairs with heavy reliance on the quad cane and the sturdy stair rail, Hubs a few steps below me all the way. I told him if I fell I'd take him out like a bowling pin, but he insisted. So I'm on the mend. --Ilene |
I met a woman who thought she was going in for a scan and they operated. It really hurt and the knee was all wrapped up. When she went back for a checkup and they unwrapped it she saw where they had cut open her knee and she burst into tears. I hope they told you beforehand what they were doing. The dentist gave me a pain pill once that made me feel like I was about to die. I can't take the codeine cough medicine either. Be sure to tell them the anesthetic or pain pill made you sick. I think there are other things they can give you. |

As I remember it, the doctor didn't even mention "arthroscope" but he did say he'd make four little incisions and go in there with a tiny camera to see what the damage was, and would repair whatever was wrong at the same time. I guess I just assumed it was a laser thing. They did use the word "arthroscope" right before they prepped me for surgery, and explained it in more detail. I could've backed out then but something had to be done, I don't think a torn meniscus gets better by itself. I could be wrong, but I gave it the whole summer hoping. I will for sure talk to them about being so sick if/when I need to have stuff done again. I had a heel spur removed arthroscopically about two years ago and the surgeon sent me home with a prescription for nausea, which I didn't even have at all after surgery. I don't know what the difference is but obviously it was something. I might call that foot doctor and ask, just so I know. Seems like today's doctors are done seeing you so fast these days, they're gone off to the next patient before you can even process what they tell you enough to think of questions. I didn't feel like the post-op instructions were very good, there was a space for the surgeon to write his office phone number in and it was blank. The foot surgeon, two years ago, personally called me the evening after surgery to see how I was and he had his office number AND after-hours number written down for me. The sheet he sent home with me had post-op exercises on it and heat-cold treatment and even a little electric "tingler" with electrodes which was supposed to help with healing. There was none of that this time. A nurse from the hospital called me on the afternoon of the second day. I was given a sheet about Deep Vein Thrombosis and what to do to prevent it, and a sheet about when to remove the bandages but nothing very detailed. I just today copied off some instructions of exercises to do after arthroscopic knee surgery, which don't sound like they'll hurt anything to try to do. He did write "no ambulatory restrictions" on my post-op sheet, after all. I was to remove the bandages after the second day and I do just have four holes on my knee. It sounds to me like your friend's surgeon made a mistake and performed the wrong surgery. It happens more than people know. But then again, maybe once he got in there he found he needed to do more. He didn't explain any of that to her? That's sloppy, and is what lawsuits are made of. |

VIRGINIA — A Muslim-run organization has emerged as a model of multi-faith charity that has been benefiting hundreds of low income citizens monthly in the Northern Virginia area for years.
"The thing is we are here, and everybody here is our neighbor and we live together, and that's the teaching of Islam, to serve everyone who is in need and who is your neighbor," Tanveer Mirza, one of the founders of FAITH, told Voice of America on Monday, July 7.
"So that's where we took our inspiration from."
The Muslim-run charity, the Foundation for Appropriate and Immediate Temporary Help (FAITH), has been providing services for Virginia's Herndon diverse community since 1999.
Along with the food donations that benefits about 1,000 people regardless of their religious background monthly, FAITH "empowers individuals to get out of poverty".
"We have an intake process where we evaluate the situation of the client. And then from that evaluation and research, then we make our plan with the client: how are they going to change their situation? We are actually trying to help the client change their situation," said Amreen Ahmed, the director of the charity organization FAITH.
"We are not maintaining them in the same place. We want them to be proactive."
FAITH's community programs include, family assistance programs, self-sufficiency, safe and peaceful families program.
It also offers food programs, Children's program and the thrift store from where needy people can get new and used cloths.
"FAITH's Thrift Store has been supporting lower income families in the Herndon community for over 14 years," the organization wrote on its website.
"FAITH works hand in hand with local shelters to provide vouchers for their clients to benefit from the store as well."
"Clothes or something for the house, like for the kitchen, or some toys for the kids," Maria, a thrift shop customer, explains what attracts her to the store.
"And sometimes to send for my family in my country, in Mexico."
The United States is home to a Muslim minority of between six to eight million.
A recent survey found that American Muslims are the most moderate around the world.
It also showed that US Muslims generally express strong commitment to their faith and tend not to see an inherent conflict between being devout and living in a modern society.

Our FAIRS bring living wisely to life with hands-on workshops in organic gardening, country skills, renewable energy and more.
By Gabriella Morrison
Tags: straw, bale, home, fire, resistance, coventional, Gabriella Morrison
Protecting against fires has long been important to code officials, builders and homeowners alike. None of us want to see our homes go up in flames or experience the loss and grief associated with fire. Building codes exist to protect homeowners from fires, both minor and catastrophic. Even with those codes in place, we have seen that a well-built house can burn to the ground in a matter of minutes. To me, the reason for this is obvious. A conventional stick-framed home is nothing more than a series of chimneys behind a thin layer of fire protection. What many homeowners don't know is that the majority of the fire protection required by code in a conventional home is in the form of drywall. That's it! 1/2″ of gypsum board is all that is required to protect you from fire. Once that drywall barrier has been compromised, there is nothing to stop the fire from attacking the structural wood and/or steel framing in your home.
Straw bale homes are different. Straw bale houses are known for their fire resistance and have been independently tested showing that they resist fire by up to three times that of conventional homes. Three times the protection may be the difference between a total loss and a house that can be saved. In a straw bale house, the first line of defense is the application of 1 1/4" of plaster. The plaster provides far superior resistance to flame than most sidings.
The second, and often most surprising element of straw bales that increases the fire resistance is the bales themselves. When most people think about straw and how it performs in fire, they think about barn fires, spontaneous combustion, and other fire stories. The fact of the matter is that barn fires are caused by hay that was baled too early and thus has high levels of moisture still in the crop. The fires start when that moisture creates heat by decomposing the hay. The hay then flares from the heat of the decomposition process inside the bale.
Straw is baled when the crop is dead and dry, usually around 8% moisture content by volume, so no interior decomposition occurs. Moreover, the bales are so tight that there just isn't a lot of space for oxygen to easily move through. Fire cannot exist without oxygen, so once again the bales have created a form of protection against flame spread. Consider that a bale is like a phone book. If you rip out the pages one by one and light them on fire, they will burn: so will loose straw (although not very well, due to the high silica content). If you hold a lighter under the entire phone book, however, you will likely run out of fuel in the lighter before the book catches fire because there is no oxygen in between the pages to support the flame. The same is true for the baled straw.
Put the two systems together: thick plaster on both sides of the wall and dense, oxygen-deprived bales inside and you get a combination that makes for a very fire-resistant wall. Protecting your home from fire in other ways is still important. Be sure to clear brush from around your house, clean out your gutters and under your decks, and so on. There are several sites that offer guidance on how to protect yourself from wildfires, and I strongly recommend you visit them.
My wish is for people who live in fire-prone areas to start getting serious about protecting themselves from fire. Tens of thousands of homes and buildings have been destroyed in the last several years. Most of the people who lost their homes will rebuild. I[ah2] invite them to build with bales instead of building another conventional home. The benefits go beyond fire protection and reach into the world of green construction and healthy homes.

Shabaab suicide assault team attacks Somalia parliament
Shabaab, al Qaeda's branch in East Africa, launched a suicide assault today against Somalia's parliament building in its latest attack in the capital of Mogadishu. The suicide assault took place just two days after Shabaab vowed to step up attacks in Mogadishu.
The Shabaab suicide assault team detonated a car bomb at one of the gates to Somalia's parliament building. The blast took place in front of a mosque, according to Garowe. The car bomb was followed by a suicide bomber and a team of gunmen who entered the compound and attacked Somali and African Union forces guarding the compound, Reuters reported.
Shabaab forces battled the Somali and African Union forces for hours before being killed. Ten Somali soldiers and policemen and seven Shabaab fighters died during the shootout. Fourteen people, including four members of parliament, are said to have been wounded during the fighting.
Shabaab spokesman Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab claimed the attack at the parliament building.
"We are behind the suicide bombing, explosions and the fighting inside the so-called Somali parliament house," he told Reuters. "We killed 30 from the AU (African Union) and from the various forces of the so-called Somali government," Abu Musab claimed.
Today's assault on Somalia's parliament took place just two days after Ali Mohamed Hussein, or Ali Jabal, Shabaab's commander in Banadir, a region that includes Mogadishu, threatened to step up attacks in the capital. Hussein made the claim on Radio Andulus, Shabaab's radio station that continues to broadcast, Garowe reported.
Shabaab has been making a push to regain control of areas of the capital after being ousted during an African Union and Somali offensive that began in 2012.
In the past, Shabaab has shown it can penetrate security at the heavily protected areas in the capital and carry out deadly attacks. AMISOM, Somali government and military officials, and nongovernmental organizations have been the targets of Shabaab suicide assaults and bombings. In one such incident, in September of 2012, three suicide bombers attacked Somalia's president and Kenya's foreign minister as they were speaking at a hotel in Mogadishu.
In June 2013 a Shabaab suicide team struck at the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) compound in Mogadishu. Several UNDP employees were killed and Shabaab briefly took over the compound.
In February of this year, Shabaab launched two suicide bombings and assaults. On Feb. 14, a suicide bomber killed seven people in an attack that targeted a United Nations convoy as it traveled through Mogadishu. And on Feb. 21, a suicide assault team killed several soldiers while attempting to storm the presidential compound, which is close to parliament.
Shabaab has also executed suicide attacks outside Somalia's borders. In July 2010, a double suicide attack in Kampala, Uganda killed 74 people. It was carried out by a suicide cell called the Saleh ali Nabhan Brigade, which is named after the al Qaeda leader who served as Shabaab's military commander before he was killed in a US special operations raid in September 2009.
In September 2013, a Shabaab suicide assault team took control of the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya for four days before being killed by Kenyan security forces. Shabaab's assault team killed 63 people during the attack.
Although Shabaab abandoned Mogadishu, Kismayo, and other large cities in Somalia after a combined African Union, Kenyan, Ethiopian, and Somali offensive, it still controls several major towns and cities along the coast between Kismayo and Mogadishu, including Jilib and Baraawe, as well as other rural areas throughout the country.
Shabaab and its Kenyan branch, the Muslim Youth Center, formally joined al Qaeda in February 2012. The east African terror groups were closely tied to al Qaeda for years prior, however; Shabaab leaders had openly proclaimed their allegiance to al Qaeda long before the official merger.
Al Qaeda and its branches and allies have carried out numerous suicide assaults such as the one in Somalia today in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Algeria, Mali, Nigeria, and Niger.
READER COMMENTS: "Shabaab suicide assault team attacks Somalia parliament"
Posted by Baldur Dasche at May 25, 2014 8:17 AM ET:
The only thing good about Somalia is that is hasn't been in the news. yesterday's incident - and tthe massive coverage - hhas changed that.
To those who were under the mistaken impression that no news was the good kind, to find out, again, that the Shabbab bogeyman is not only alive, but well and still able to bite, has to be disconcerting. After all they've been subjected to some of the best, and most expensive, bang-bang that money can buy. When last we heard of tthe the AU had them 'on the run' and SEALs were happily eliminating their command echelon all around the Horn of Africa. Now it looks like aanother 'robust' reponse is required.
But underpinning whatever the future holds is the cloying notion that it's all about propping-up the corpse of another failed state and trying to animate from it what America 'needs to hear'. "It's all good in Africa!"
But iit ain't.

We hope to see you at one of the shows. We have plenty more coming up in the next few months. Bring your dancing shoes and we will see you soon!
"The first band up was called Phonosynthesis and they are out of Hartford. Formerly called the Isaac Young quartet (I think…) they have talent in spades. The bass player was running up and down the fret board with enthusiasm and the whole band had a jazz meets funk meets rock vibe. At times I was reminded of Steely Dan, at other times of NYC funk outfit ulu, who were popular a dozen years ago during the jazz funk movement. There were occasional vocals, and the band had great energy."
Live Music News and Review.com
"Though the Isaac Young Quartet is an ongoing adventure - why quit now after two "Best Jazz" trophies from the Connecticut Music Awards folks? - titular keyboardist/saxophonist Young and compatriot/bassist/vocalist Jon Dostou are touring with a new project. Billed as Phonosynthesis, these two visionaries are ripping out the components of jazz, rock and funk and rewiring them in clever, amazing and irresistible ways. The band has released one album, "Staved Eye," and has been raising eyebrows and clenched fists at a variety of clubs and festivals throughout the northeast." Rick Koster,
The Day
"[Phonosynthesis] has been nominated twice for a New England Music Award. The funk-jam band from Hartford, Connecticut is constantly lumped into the jazz category because their particular compositions are complex and challenging to play. Yet, the band's namesake, Isaac Young, is still ecstatic about the dual recognition. "It was a true honor," Young said. "It was amazing because it was our second nomination. Actually, during the first nomination, I was getting my home inspected. I just bought a house last year. We got a phone call from someone who was like 'Hey, you've been nominated for this award.' And the first year we were blown away. Just getting the nod from it two years ago was ago was a big enough honor. Then to get it for the second year in a row, we were all beside ourselves. It was a great statement that people are listening." Recognizing that his Isaac Young Quartet is not a mainstream band playing conventional pop tunes...[cont.]" Bill Copeland,

Court packed for Anene accused
Comment on this storyBredasdorp, Western Cape - The Bredasdorp Magistrate's Court was packed on Monday morning ahead of the appearance of a man accused of raping and killing Anene Booysen.
The 17-year-old was found seriously injured at a construction site last week Saturday and later died from her injuries. She was buried in the rural town at the weekend.
The crimes sparked outrage from all sectors of society, including President Jacob Zuma.
On Monday morning reporters and cameramen jostled for a space and took up half of the court room.
Magistrate Graham Cupido would first deal with other cases on the court roll.
Booysen's case was likely to be called later in the morning. - Sapa
