Technological Change, Vehicle Characteristics, and the Opportunity Costs of Fuel Economy Standards
Thomas Klier,
Joshua Linn
RFF Discussion Paper 13-40-REV | October 2014
Abstract: Many countries are tightening passenger vehicle fuel economy standards. In assessing the welfare effects of standards, the literature has not properly accounted either for their effects on the rate of technology adoption, or for improvements in vehicle characteristics in the absence of tightening standards. A dynamic model shows that accounting for both factors has ambiguous effects on estimated welfare costs. We find that recent US and European standards have affected the rate of technology adoption as well as horsepower and torque. Estimated welfare losses from reduced horsepower and torque are of similar magnitude to the welfare gains from fuel savings.

Assessing the Design of Three Pilot Programs for Carbon Trading in China
Clayton Munnings,
Richard D. Morgenstern
Zhongmin Wang
, Xu Liu
RFF Discussion Paper 14-36 | October 2014
Abstract: China started seven carbon cap-and-trade pilot programs in order to inform the development of a future national cap-and-trade market. This paper assesses the design of three of the longer-running cap-and-trade pilot programs in Guangdong, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Based on extensive stakeholder interviews and a detailed literature review we formulate a series of recommendations to improve the design of these three pilots, including: strengthening the legal foundations for the cap-and-trade pilots, incorporating achievement of goals established by the cap-and-trade pilots into the performance reviews of participating government officials and executives of state-owned entities, further clarifying the cap-setting process, increasing the transparency of the cap, reducing or eliminating within-compliance period adjustments to enterprise-level allowance allocation, gradually moving away from free allocation toward auctioning, reforming enforcement policy, and adopting a symmetric safety valve to manage prices. By making these recommendations, we hope to shed light on ways that Chinese regulators might adapt cap and trade, a fundamentally market-based tool, to China's economy that has many non-market features.

The Initial Incidence of a Carbon Tax across US States
Roberton C. Williams III
, Hal Gordon,
Dallas Burtraw
, Jared Carbone,
Richard D. Morgenstern
RFF Discussion Paper 14-25 | October 2014
Abstract: Carbon taxes introduce potentially uneven cost burdens across the population. The distribution of these costs is especially important in affecting political outcomes. This paper links dynamic overlapping-generations and microsimulation models of the United States to estimate the initial incidence of a carbon tax across states. Geographic differences in incidence are driven primarily by differences in sources of income. Differing patterns of energy use also matter but are relatively less important. The use of the carbon tax revenue plays an important role, particularly in determining how different income sources are affected, as: (1) using carbon tax revenue to cut capital taxes disproportionately benefits states with large shares of capital income; (2) returning the revenue via lump-sum transfers favors relatively low-income states; and (3) returning the revenue via cuts in labor taxes provides a relatively even distribution of cost across states. In general, geographic differences in incidence are substantially smaller than the differences across income groups.

The Crucial Role of Policy Surveillance in International Climate Policy
Joseph E. Aldy
RFF Discussion Paper 14-29 | September 2014
Abstract: An extensive literature shows that information-creating mechanisms enhance the transparency of and can support participation and compliance in international agreements. This paper draws from game theory, international relations, and legal scholarship to make the case for how transparency through policy surveillance can facilitate more effective international climate change policy architecture. I draw lessons from policy surveillance in multilateral economic, environmental, and national security contexts to inform a critical evaluation of the historic practice of monitoring and reporting under the global climate regime. This assessment focuses on how surveillance produces evidence to inform policy design, enables comparisons of mitigation effort, and illustrates the adequacy of the global effort in climate agreements. I also describe how the institution of policy surveillance can facilitate a variety of climate policy architectures. This evaluation of policy surveillance suggests that transparency is necessary for global climate policy architecture.

Terminating Links between Emission Trading Programs
William A. Pizer, Andrew J. Yates
RFF Discussion Paper 14-28 | August 2014
Abstract: Links between emission trading programs are not immutable, as highlighted by New Jersey's exit from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. This raises the question of what to do with existing permits that are banked for future use—choices that have consequences for market behavior in advance of, or upon speculation about, delinking. We consider two delinking policies. One differentiates banked permits by origin, the other treats banked permits the same. We describe the price behavior and relative cost-effectiveness of each policy. Treating permits differently generally leads to higher costs, and may lead to price divergence, even with only speculation about delinking.

The Initial Incidence of a Carbon Tax across Income Groups
Roberton C. Williams III
, Hal Gordon,
Dallas Burtraw
, Jared Carbone,
Richard D. Morgenstern
RFF Discussion Paper 14-24 | August 2014
Abstract: Carbon taxes efficiently reduce greenhouse gas emissions but are criticized as regressive. This paper links dynamic overlapping-generation and microsimulation models of the United States to estimate the initial incidence. We find that while carbon taxes are regressive, the incidence depends much more on how carbon tax revenue is used. Recycling revenues to cut capital taxes is efficient but exacerbates regressivity. Lump-sum rebates are less efficient but much more progressive, benefiting the three lower income quintiles even when ignoring environmental benefits. A labor tax swap represents an intermediate option, more progressive than a capital tax swap and more efficient than a rebate.

The Hotelling Model with Multiple Demands
Gérard Gaudet,
Stephen W. Salant
RFF Discussion Paper 14-21 | July 2014
Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to provide an elementary introduction to the nonrenewable resource model with multiple demand curves. The theoretical literature following Hotelling (1931) assumed that all energy needs are satisfied by one type of resource (e.g. "oil"), extractible at different per-unit costs. This formulation implicitly assumes that all users are the same distance from each resource pool, that all users are subject to the same regulations, and that motorist users can switch as easily from liquid fossil fuels to coal as electric utilities can. These assumptions imply, as Herfindahl (1967) showed, that in competitive equilibrium all users will exhaust a lower cost resource completely before beginning to extract a higher cost resource: simultaneous extraction of different grades of oil or of oil and coal should never occur. In trying to apply the single- demand curve model during the last twenty years, several teams of authors have independently found a need to generalize it to account for users differing in their (1) location, (2) regulatory environment, or (3) resource needs. Each research team found that Herfindahl's strong, unrealistic conclusion disappears in the generalized model; in its place, a weaker Herfindahl result emerges. Since each research team focussed on a different application, however, it has not always been clear that everyone has been describing the same generalized model. Our goal is to integrate the findings of these teams and to exposit the generalized model in a form which is easily accessible.

Cap-and-Trade Programs under Delayed Compliance: Consequences of Interim Injection of Permits
Makoto Hasegawa,
Stephen W. Salant
RFF Discussion Paper 12-32-REV | July 2014
Abstract: Virtually every analysis of cap-and-trade programs assumes that firms must surrender permits as they pollute. However, no program, existing or proposed, requires such continual compliance. Some (e.g., the Acid Rain Program limiting SO2 emissions) require compliance once a year; others (e.g., the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative limiting CO2 emissions) require compliance every three years. The paths of emissions and permit prices would be invariant to compliance timing (Holland-Moore, 2013) ifthe government never injected additional permits between successive compliance dates. However, virtually all emissions trading programs require such injections through either (1) interim permit auctions or (2) sales from "cost containment reserves" intended to cap permit prices. In such cases, analyses which abstract from delayed compliancemay mislead policy makers. For example, a cost containment reserve judged sufficient to cap prices at a ceiling over a year may sell out in a single day.

On the Impact of Weather Variability and Climate Change on Agriculture: Evidence from Ethiopia
Mintewab Bezabih, Salvatore Di Falco, Alemu Mekonnen
RFF Discussion Paper EfD 14-15 | July 2014
Abstract: Weather fluctuations tend to be as important as climate change in farmers' decision making in countries such as Ethiopia that have virtually no weather insurance. This paper assesses the distinct impacts of weather and climate change measures on agricultural productivity of households, measured in terms of crop revenue, in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. Four waves of survey data, which included about 1500 households in each round, combined with interpolated daily temperature and monthly rainfall data from the meteorological stations, are employed in the analysis. The distinction between weather and climate is highlighted by observations in the temperature data, which show that the pattern of temperature for both short-term and long-term values follows a bell-shaped distribution, with the striking feature that the extreme ends of the distribution have fatter tails for the long term values. The analysis employs monthly rainfall and 14 temperature categories related to weather measures and four categories corresponding with the extreme ends of the long-term temperature distribution. The analysis also distinguishes between summer and spring seasons and different crops, in recognition that Ethiopia's agriculture is multi-cropping and multi-season. The major findings show that temperature effects are distinctly non-linear, but only when the weather measures are combined with the extreme ends of the distribution of the climate measures. In addition, rainfall generally has a less important role to play than temperature, contrary to expectations for rainfed agriculture.

Deep and Shallow Uncertainty in Messaging Climate Change
Roger M. Cooke
RFF Discussion Paper 14-11 | April 2014
Abstract: Deep and shallow uncertainty are defined and contrasted with regard to messaging the uncertainty about climate change. Deep uncertainty is often traced back to the writings of Frank Knight, where in fact it simply meant subjective probability. Although Knight envisioned a scientifically grounded quantification of subjective uncertainty, deep uncertainty is frequently invoked to disable uncertainty quantification, with attendant problems in communicating and propagating uncertainty through chains of reasoning. These issues, together with science-based uncertainty quantification, are illustrated with recent applications to ice sheet dynamics. The issues of performance assessment and validation are addressed.

The Effects of Renewable Portfolio Standards on Carbon Intensity in the United States
Samantha Sekar, Brent L. Sohngen
RFF Discussion Paper 14-10 | April 2014
Abstract: US state carbon intensities are highly heterogeneous, and few studies have been aimed at identifying the causes of these differences among states. Determining the factors that enable certain states to develop their economies on a less carbon-intensive trajectory can give us insight into how those state characteristics or policies can be replicated to achieve lower carbon intensities in other economies. Our study finds that renewable portfolio standards (RPS) have already had a negative and significant impact on carbon intensities through their influence on state electricity prices. Additionally, we show that the adoption of RPS reduced overall US carbon emissions by 4 percent by 2010.

of Anchorage, AK - October, 13 2013:
Best bag I have ever stayed in! Took this bag on a fall hunt for Black Bear. Light enough to pack 12 miles in and 12 mies out. Camped out for 5 nights with temps down to 10 degrees. Stayed warm and toasty every night. The foot box design is excellent and the bag has plenty of room. If that's not enough there are two straps on the underside to hold the bag in place on my sleeping pad. The first time i did not end up on the floor of the tent off my pad.

Delta Dental of Michigan
Careers »
Predetermination is a voluntary, optional procedure where Delta Dental issues a written estimate of benefits that may be available under your plan for your proposed dental treatment. Your dentist submits the proposed dental treatment to Delta Dental in advance of providing the treatment.
You can request a predetermination at any time; however, specific instances when you may want to request one include:
If all information is received with the initial request for predetermination, please allow 10–14 business days for processing. To receive a predetermination even faster, have your dentist submit the request online. Note: Predetermination is provided for informational purposes only and is not required before you receive any dental care. It is not a prerequisite or condition for approval of future dental benefits payment. You will receive the same benefits under your plan whether or not a predetermination is requested. The benefits estimate provided on a predetermination notice is based on benefits available on the date the notice is issued. It is not a guarantee of future benefits or payment.
Availability of benefits at the time your treatment is completed depends on several factors such as, but not limited to, your continued eligibility for benefits, your available annual or lifetime maximum payments, any coordination of benefits, the status of your plan and the dentist, your plan's limitations and any other plan provisions. A request for a predetermination is not a claim for benefits or a preauthorization, precertification or other reservation of future benefits.

MONTPELIER Vermont lawmakers plan this year to weigh in on the national debate over gun rights following a recent spate of mass shootings, including one in which 20 Connecticut schoolchildren and six school staff died.
Sen. Philip Baruth, the majority leader in the Senate, is introducing a bill that would reinstate in Vermont the federal assault weapons ban that had been in effect for several years but no longer is.
Baruths bill also seeks to cap the number of rounds in a guns magazine to five.
He said the restrictions would not affect hunters or people who want to protect themselves at home.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Sears said, meanwhile, that his committee will hold a public hearing on gun legislation in early February.MORE IN Vermont NewsA Montpelier man has been sentenced for trying to kill himself by setting his Elm Street home on...

I'm kind of on the fence about this eyeliner . . . .the formula is super creamy and glides on easily. It's the creamiest formula I've tried so far and is really easy to work with.
Personally, I prefer liquid eyeliner since I have super oil lids so I had to take that into account--- although I have tried Physician's formula gel creamliner for brown eyes and have absolutely no problems with it smudging, even when I accidentally rub my eyes.
With primer, there is some, but minimal smudging. But without primer, this stuff travels all over my eyes and onto my lower lash line even when I have none applied.
The packaging is quite cheap so the product does dry out rather quickly. I personally would not repurchase this just because I'm not a cream liner kind of girl, but if you're looking for a good good eyeliner for an awesome price, this would definitely be it.
I really like this eyeliner. It does not smudge and lasts all day. It is very easy to apply. My only complaint is that it dries out too soon. I think it dries out because of the poor packaging. The lid does not make an air tight seal. The liner is so inexpensive that it is worth purchasing even though it will dry out before all of the product can be used.
I bought this because I heard really great reviews from those who have oily eyelids and monolids. Let me just say, this is the worst creme liner I have ever tried. It didn't last two hours WITH primer, it smudged and just disappeared.

Seriously one of the best gel/creme liners on the market. I wore this swimming and the liner barely smudged. It's super easy to apply (HATE the brush it comes with though) and very long-lasting. Only con is that it dries up after a few months (and I don't even use it every day). However, at the price I bought it for (like $5) it's definitely something I will repurchase, and perhaps in different colors as well.
I really like this liner. It stays put all day for me and is easy to apply even with the little brush it comes with. It has an awesome price as well as awesome quality. Very surprised that it works so good.
This product is surprisingly good! It applies easily, dries quickly, & withstands the rub test. Mine has dried a little bit which I think makes the product work better. I bought it on a BOGO sale, swatched it immediately, then stuffed it in the back of a drawer completely forgetting it was there for over a YEAR. It's pulled away from the edge a tiny bit but not dried out so that could be the difference between my review & those who didn't like it. I'm older but a bit new to makeup so sometimes I forget I'm wearing it & rub the crap out of my allergy-ridden eyes. After my standard "Oh crap!" run to a mirror, I was happy to see that it was still mostly there. It rubbed away a bit but it did NOT smear all over (which I think is more important). I have dry, hooded lids and itchy watery eyes so I have a very hard time finding a liner that won't transfer. Although this isn't perfect, it's pretty darn good for the price.
i had never used a gel liner so after hearing many good things about this product i decided to give it a go and loved it. it was smooth and creamy and very easy to apply. plus it really did stay on all day ! the brush that comes with it is impossible but i bought a $3 E.L.F. brush and i loved the effect that came with it.
Ugh. I went out and bought this because the reviews were so good and saying how long it lasts. But I didnt find that this lasted long AT ALL. At least not any longer than my cheapy kohl pencil eyeliners. I used this on my bottom waterline and it smudged within the first hour of wear and I have pencil eyeliners that would last longer than this (and I have very dry..NOT oily skin).
I dont recommend at all.

I give this 3 1/2 stars. Everyone on here is saying how it doesn't smudge but this smudged on me after some hours, even with primer on my oily lids. BUT the formula is extremely smooth and pigmented. It glides on your lids, which is prob why it smudges for me :/ i still think mac fluidline is better bc its smooth and doesn't smudge on me. packaging is quite cheap and unnecessarily bulky. this is a liner i'll use if im only out for a few hours/school, definately not for important days/nights out.
I've bought this product twice, the first time I loved it and was really happy with my purchase. The liner was super creamy and dark and stayed on pretty well all day. For the super cheap price I could accept that the packaging wasn't the best and it dried out easily (I honestly threw away a half full jar) I could also accept that it smudged some if I wasn't careful when I first applied it then again later in the day because my eyelids tend to get oily.
When I bought this problem the second time I feel like it just wasn't as good and I'm not sure why. Maybe I got unlucky and received one that had been sitting at the store too long or was a part of a bad batch from the factory. It wasn't as creamy or dark and seemed to smudge even more easily. I was left disappointed and wont be buying this again. I use Physician's Formula cream liner now.

It has been two years since we heard from Saturday Night Live alumnus Victoria Jackson. If you will recall the last time she blipped up, it was to spout some neo-con whatever on Fox News (the clip has since been taken down because her truth was TOO real, probably). Since then, she probably relaxed a little bit, read a couple of books, and at the very least figured out a way to back up some of her conservative rhetoric with actual facts and well-reasoned philosophical arguments that a person who might disagree with her politically could at least respect the work she was doing to state and defend her case, right?
Oh, nope, she's just writing nutso racist-homophobic blogs about Islam and Glee (?!) on her website! Haha. Neat website! Hold on, I've got to make it my default homepage OK done. I'm not sure which is my favorite excerpt from this recent entry. It's definitely either the introduction, which reads: "Frankly, I'm afraid to say anything about Muslims. Why? Because they kill people," or this completely BONKERS claim: "The Muslims want to tear down the Statue of Liberty!" That sentence, incidentally, is just linked to a different crazy blog that says this is a real thing. It's called logic and it is airtight.
And now, Victoria Jackson has been brought onto CNN to defend some of her more controversial views, if you can call barely stringing together three words at a time and just shrugging and looking confused a lot "defending."
Oof. It would just be sad if it wasn't so hateful (although it's still kind of sad). I mean, the lady brought PROPS with her to the News Place. I do love the tried and true argument that conservative Christians need to stop being scared of standing up for what they believe in. Uh, is that a thing? Because I really get the impression that that's almost the only thing they AREN'T afraid of. Gays, Jews, Muslims, Blacks, Women, Teenagers, the French, Sex, and Education: all terrifying. Saying whatever the fuck creepy hate speech pops into your head at any given moment: not a problem.
Oh, Victoria Jackson. You mean old coconut. Follow Chris Kattan on Twitter! (Thanks for the tip, Alex, Brittany, and D'Anne.)

I thought I saw this on an episode of 30 Rock, once…
I've been hate-reading Victoria's "columns" for awhile. The one from last week was pretty bonkers.
Basically, she made friends with some people, but then later decided they were spies from the government. This is how she reacted when she realized she invited them over a meeting:
I was supposed to text "Beth" my address; instead I texted her, "You are really sweet, but since I think you're a spy, I can't hang out with you. It's too weird. If you're not a spy, sorry, you're really sweet." She never responded or called again.
Her archive is hillariously incoherent. There are so many loose tangents.

Also, this is all nullus because Victoria Jackson carries pictures of gay people in her wall-I mean has gay friends.
Sometimes I just love wikipedia:"In 1984, Jackson married Nisan Mark Eventoff, who was a fire-eater and magician.[14] "
[Insert Arrested Development flamer joke]
"Jackson's criteria for 'embracing Islam' simply means the opposite of denouncing Islam. So basically if you don't hate something then that means you love it. And probably want to gay-marry it. Very logically sound."

OurStage's Top Ten Fictional Music Movies: There are many film scripts that invent bands as part of the narrative. Most are just an afterthought, and many more are forgettable and awful, even as a figment of a screenwriter's imagination. These films created the best, funniest, most realistic, lived-in bands in film.
10. Light of Day (1987)
Who in 1987 wasn't waiting for the Michael J. Fox – Joan Jett big screen pairing? The only question was what the vehicle would be. A rom-com? Sci-fi thriller? A Tango & Cash"esque buddy cop action-comedy? A Back to the Future sequel where Marty meets The Runaways in 1977? What we actually got was an unexpectedly gritty family drama, centering on the relationship between brother and sister Joe and Patty (Fox and Jett), who perform together in a struggling E Street-esque bar band called The Barbusters. I have just told you the worst part of the movie. The band is called The Barbusters. This blow is softened by the appearance of the great Michael McKean as a band member"one of McKean's THREE appearances on this list.
Paul Schrader, writer of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, wrote and directed this film and in fact commissioned a song by Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen came back with Born In The U.S.A. but decided to keep that one for himself. Too bad, it could have been a hit. The Barbusters do a decent job with his alternate effort, the title song, Light of Day." And, hey, look, Michael J. Fox can sing. This begs the question"what the hell, Robert Zemeckis? The idea that it's Fox' voice singing Johnny B. Goode in Back to the Future is the least credible part of a movie about a time traveling DeLorean that runs on plutonium.
9. 8 Mile (2002)
People say that Eminem was basically playing himself in this film about an aspiring rapper from Detroit with a fucked-up mom and few prospects aside from an innate and unique lyrical flow. But it's a mistake to go into this thinking it's the Eminem Story. Em and director Curtis Hanson wisely keep the character of B-Rabbit sullen and low-key. The rapper is not a great actor, but he plays this one just right, with visibly crippling insecurity and remarkably restrained rage. The cleverness of the "improvised" rhymes staged on street corners and at club battles is just short of believable, but (spoiler alert) at the end, when B-Rabbit destroys all comers with Eminem's signature delivery, disbelief is easily suspended. This won an Oscar for the great lead song Lose Yourself.
If you're looking for it, it's actually not too hard to find a new band you really dig. Most often, those artists are doing something that resonates with you because of your established tastes. It sounds familiar, it feels comfortable, and maybe there's even an aspect of the music that's unique. Much more rare, though, is to come across an act doing something completely different than what you might otherwise find in your music collection and still be affected by it. Such is the case with The Shills, a band that seems to blend so many varied influences as to produce music that cannot be so easily pigeonholed. Fresh off a second win in our Indie Pop channel, they are our latest Artist of the Week.
If you're a rock fan, and especially one disheartened by the state of music as represented, say, in the recent Grammy Awards, you might find yourself thinking that the world could use an antidote, and maybe a heavy dose at that. The Fratellis might have been thinking the same thing when they titled their newest album We Need Medicine, and delivered a blast of thoughtful, authentic rock and roll. The UK trio blazed onto the US scene when their song "Flathead" appeared in a 2007 iPod commercial. They've been steadily building up a devoted fan base since then, and We Need Medicine, their first album after an extended hiatus, is the gem that really should put them over the top stateside. We spoke with singer and guitarist Jon Fratelli about his approach to writing songs, making videos, and how much influence current pop music has on the band (SPOILER: none).
OS: You've spoken about the songs on We Need Medicine in terms of how they serve the record, that you've written songs of a certain type because the record needed it. This somewhat business-like approach calls to mind songwriters like Paul McCartney, who can write heartbreaking or joyous songs simply having set out to fill a requirement. Indeed, many of your new songs sound positively exuberant. Has songwriting always worked that way for you, or has that ability to just sit down and do a job developed along with you as songwriters?
Jon: I think it's really just about having a vague idea of somewhere you'd like to go. I learned that by having no idea where to go on the second Fratellis record; it ends with a mediocre album and with songs that, a year later, you don't want to play anymore. I didn't want that to be the case this time so only concentrated on writing in a style that know I'll always be able to connect to.
OS: You guys are great at style or genre exercise songs, but what song would you pick from your catalogue that is stylistically most uniquely you?
Jon: I hope never to write that song. There'll always be songs that other people connect you with more than others, but I don't think musicians really do that with their own music. If you write something that perfectly sums up everything you've ever wanted to say then you have no reason to get out of bed in the morning.
Billboard today has a piece regarding the highs and (more recently) lows of American Idol and the show's upcoming season. It rather sadly exposes the whole production as a microcosm of the floundering, old-school end of the music industry. The players are scrambling behind the scenes to figure out why ratings plummeted in later seasons, changes are being made, and the faces of the show are desperately trying to make us remember Idol's former glory as a ratings bonanza and a legitimate factor in the music industry. Harry Connick Jr., a former mentor and now judge on the show (along with Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban), says:
Remember when they came out with new Coke and everybody was upset by it? It couldn't have teed up the return of Coke Classic any better. When Coke Classic came out, it exploded even bigger than it was before because it created this void and people missed it. And I think that's what this year can potentially do for this brand. People sort of missed their classic 'American Idol.' And it's back.
Yeesh. New executive producer Per Blankens, who had great success running the Swedish version of the show, similarly stresses a "back to basics" formula. We think that this is the best show there is — the original that's inspired others," he says, "so it's not that viewers necessarily want that big gimmicky change in order to come back to the TV couches. They want to see the show they've grown to love.
For years now, Freeway Rick Ross, the real life drug dealer upon whom rapper Rick Ross bases his stage persona and kingpin image, has been trying to nail Ross (the latter) for making millions by selling his music under an appropriated drug lord persona. Last week, a California judge dismissed Freeway Rick's most recent appeal, citing the rapper's creation of original works that only used the name as a jumping-off point. Freeway Rick was not amused.
In a statement issued following the judge's rejection of his appeal, the real Freeway Rick Ross remarked: "There is a teachable moment about the state of our community when a man who has a respectable job as a correctional officer, has to recreate himself in my former image as a large-scale kingpin to gain what he feels is social acceptance as a successful man." Though Freeway Rick's indignation does have a point here, he misunderstands Ross' motivations. Ross was never thinking about perceived social acceptance as a successful man. He was thinking about actual success. And he actually achieved it by making insane amounts of money because he understands the fan inclination to want to believe that artists' music reflects a truthful depiction of their lives.
Hip-hop culture has always been based on the appropriation and re-interpretation of communal objects from the past. It's called sampling. And hip-hop artists have been doing it in with their stage personas forever, pretending to be harder and more dangerous than they actually are. So when Ross took on the symbolic identity of a historical drug dealer, he was doing just that: "sampling" someone else's life and then turning it into something new. And that is exactly why Rick Ross' recent lawsuit against LMFAO for interpolating the lyric "Every day I'm hustlin" from his 2006 song "Hustlin" is so ironic, because when LMFAO jokingly altered that line, they were doing the exact same thing. Though Ross' lawsuit states that LMFAO's similar lyric is "an obvious attempt to capitalize on the fame and success of "Hustlin," the reality of the situation is a bit more nuanced.
Jack White effectively effed up a whole bunch of "most anticipated in 2014″ lists when, in a chat with fans this weekend, he casually announced that he's almost finished recording a new album. This is why it pays to procrastinate, people — get those lists in late! Since we here at OurStage are huge fans of waiting until the last possible minute to get stuff done, we'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that we're all anticipating the new Jack White record. So hard.
And, uh, it's probably time that we tell you about some of the other albums slated for release this year that have us really excited. You can only put these things off for so long. Without further ado, here are 10 more records we're super pumped to get our ears on in 2014.
1. Against Me!
When Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace, formerly known as Tom Gabel, announced her transition back in 2012, some fans wondered if a female-fronted iteration of the band would have the same intensity and infectiousness as its predecessor. The answer: Yes, of course. Last year's acoustic True Trans EP was beautiful, and if the first few singles from the upcoming Transgender Dysphoria Blues are any indication, that record will absolutely rip as well.
About a month ago, after One Direction dropped their latest release, Midnight Memories, most reviewers couldn't help but point out the album's shameless knock-offs of some of the biggest pop hits of the '80s including "Jessie's Girl," "Pour Some Sugar On Me," and pretty much any song by Asia, just to name a few. And, yes, while the songwriters behind the squeaky clean boy band's smash singles make their musical points of reference pretty obvious to any listener older than 12, they also manage to pull off some patently ingenious lyrical references that slipped by most recaps of the album " mostly because that was precisely what they were designed to do.
Upon a first listen, the first verse of "Better Than Words" sounds like pretty standard fare for a One Direction song: a just-generic-enough description of crazy, undeniable love that sweeps you up in its whirlwind of affection and excitement.
Better than words
But more than a feeling
Crazy in love
Dancing on the ceiling
But, if you haven't noticed it already, each line is also a song in its own right. The second line. The third line. And, you guessed it. These aren't just lyrics in a One Direction song, they're built-in references to seminal pop hits. And they're placed directly next to the title of the One Direction song, itself the very first line of the song.

Interview Airs Wednesday, August 7 on "GMA," "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline"
On June 30, 2013 a raging wildfire in central Arizona killed 19 men of a 20-member team of elite firefighters who were battling the blaze. It was the deadliest day for American firefighters since Sept. 11, 2001. Brendan McDonough, the sole surviving member of the Granite Mountain Hotshot team, is speaking out about the tragedy in an exclusive interview with ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross. "I asked a million times — why am I sitting here and why isn't someone else, why aren't they sitting here with me," McDonough told Ross.
The interview will air Wednesday, August 7 on "Good Morning America" (7:00 a.m., ET), "World News with Diane Sawyer" (6:30 p.m., ET) and in late-night on "Nightline" (12:30 a.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. The interview took place at the Granite Mountain Hotshots station house and marked the first time Brendan had been inside it since the Yarnell fire.

A Nobel Pursuit
Ph.D., Public Policy
Forrest Fleischman spent much of his undergraduate career as an environmental activist, working to protect California's forests and advocating for various environmental issues. He believed he could change the world, and he still does.
"I would like to do something that will help people," said Forrest, a native of Amherst, Massachusetts. "I would like to work as a researcher and instructor, teaching people about our resources and how we can manage them better. My SPEA education will help me do all these things."
While searching for graduate schools, Forrest stumbled upon a book written by 2009 Nobel laureate and SPEA faculty member Elinor Ostrom. He thoroughly enjoyed Ostrom's work, and was inspired to come to IU partly because of her reputation. Ostrom is now Forrest's advisor as he pursues the joint Ph. D. in Public Policy. "She makes a commitment to working with her students," Forrest said. "She's always willing to set up a time to talk, despite her busy schedule."
Forrest's activist spirit is alive and well, albeit more subtle. A longtime supporter of the organic, small agriculture movement, he grows most of his food in his own garden. "It's more than a hobby to me," he said. "It's a way of life."

just wondering what would garlic do if left to grow for an extra year? |

Every clove would sprout so you'd have a cluster of plants growing in a small area and both the plant and bulb size would diminish considerably. In the thread linked below I uploaded a photo last year of what it would look like if you leave garlic in the ground (it's the 8th post down). Rodney |
Here is a link that might be useful: Why not plant garlic in Aug/Sept?
It so happens I did this (totally by accident) last year, and discovered two clumps of plants sprouting this spring from where I had failed to find and harvest the bulbs last year. Instead of letting them be, I separated each tiny plant early this spring and replanted with more space, to experiment. They are growing happily and should be ready for harvest in a month or two. If you are interested, I will be happy to let you know what my eventual results are regarding size of bulb. |

One rarely have the chance to compare four of the very best wines from the Echezeaux vineyard. This was however the case earlier this week, where the Echezeaux 2007s from Grivot, Rouget, Liger-Belair and Domaine de la Romanee-Conti were served in one flght at a Burgundy tasting.
These four produceres are, in my view, all among the very best on the Echezeaux vineyard – and quite evenly matched in most vintages. But how close are these wines directly compared – lets find out?!
A very close race indeed!
All three wines are still quite young and primary, and the DRC Echezeaux 2007 is somehow the most backward wine, while the three others are quite approchable.
The quality level of all four wines are very high for the vintage, and they are very evenly matched. My favorites at this point are Liger-Belair and Domaine de la Romanee-Conti very closely followed by Grivot and Rouget … with each wine expressing different qualities … and slightly weak sides.
For me the Echezeauxs 2007 from Jean Grivot and Emmanuel Rouget are on the same level. Emmanuel Rouget offer a more openly knit structure, with a slightly less mineralic notes, and a somewhat more forward and unmanipulated fruit – lovely but perhaps lacking some focus and refinement.
The Grivot Echezeaux 2007 offer more mineralic focus and the wine is tighter with a better concentration than the Rouget wine. The concentration does however come at a price as the finish is showing a slight vegetal bitternes – it's a very slight note but nevertheless noticeable after some time in the glass. That being said – this is a lovely Echezeaux.
In the top two – Domaine de la Romanee-Conti and Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair – it's a close race between two very different wines.
The Echezeaux 2007 from DRC seems quite lightfooted and organic compared to the three other wines. The nose is rather closed but is nevertheless showing very filigree red fruit aromas – indicating a quite low level of SO2. On the palate very focused organic fruit – intense – but refined and quite light compared to the other wines. Personally I love this style, but the somewhat strange notes of fennel/mint is somehow not adding to my pleasure – nevertheless a very seductive and refined effort.
Finally the Liger-Belair Echezeaux 2007 – a true beauty. It combines the power and mineralic focus of the Grivot, with some of the purity and refinement of the DRC Echezeaux. The terroir expression is excellent coming partly from the same terroir as the Grivot – Les Cruots – in my view one of the most interesting climates of the Echezeaux vineyard. The nose is wonderfully perfumed with Vosne spices and showing both power and refinement. On the palate the concentration equals that of the Grivot wine.
And the winner is
As mentioned earlier this is a very close race between four very fine wines – and it's impossible to pick a clear winner.
In my view the most complete package is however the Liger-Belair Echezeaux 2007, as it currently combines power and refinement better than the ofther wines.
The winners are however the wine drinkers who will enjoy drinking these lovely wines. Firstly they are all very beautiful wines, secondly they offer a wide range of qualities – from the filigree refinement of the DRC to the mineralic power of the Grivot – and still they are very evenly matched quality wise.
Personally I was also very intrigued and seduced by the lightfooted, crystal clear and transparent Echezeaux from Domaine de la Romanee-Conti … but would happily drink all four wines again – bring them on!

Warped Tour 2014: The five most interesting bands on the lineup
This summer's Vans Warped Tour will boast some impressive and eclectic artists to draw fans of punk, hip-hop and hardcore right alongside the inevitable Hot Topic zombies. The venerable festival, hasn't always evolved smoothly, but this year's Denver lineup -- the last stop on the tour -- is particularly impressive. It comes to Sports Authority Field at Mile High on August 3, but the Tour is already in full swing. Here are our five must-see acts for this year's biggest parking lot party.Christopher Morgan Last year's Warped Tour
See also: Breathe Carolina takes a side trip with the Vans Warped Tour
Remember five years ago when everyone born after 1993 got really into A Day To Remember? That wasn't great -- Four Year Strong is their chance at doing it right. The band sounds like what the late 2000's pop-punk and emo should have turned into, and it plays sets marked by both ferocity and inspiration. If we're lucky, they will be one of the first bands of the day, because they know how to kick off an event with bolts of unprompted energy seldom seen elsewhere.
The uncategorizable quartet from the UK has a new, thus-far untitled album in the works to tack atop their already stellar live show. Taking inspiration from such dispirate sources as punk, hardcore, dubstep, trance and The Zeitgeist Movement, Enter Shikari has an eclectic cocktail of socially conscious songs. The band stops in Colorado only rarely, and deserves your full attention when it does.
Pure hardcore acts are few and far between on a tour that has kept Zumiez stores alive for the past decade. Terror's presence is even more impressive given the band's steadfast dedication to its genre and culture. And given that these guys are headed on an extended European stint after the Denver Warped date, this may be the last shot for a while to play musical Fight Club with some legends.

I asked Ward labs whether they could test for chloramine and perchlorate, and they said no on both counts. Dr. Ward came on the phone and told me that nobody had ever asked for either of these, and he wasn't sure how they would test for them anyway. He wished me luck but warned me that he thought it would be hard to find someone to do these tests. I would like to have the effect of campden tablets measured. I know what it is supposed to do, and I understand that the risk is low, but I really, really like measuring things. I like the mantra "Trust but Verify" (which to me really means the same as "Don't Trust, therefore Verify"). I also have heard that there used to be perchlorate factories in the vicinity of my house. I don't get my water from the ground nearby, but I have heard lots of bad stuff about perchlorate, and I would love to have some peace of mind on the subject. Can anyone recommend a lab that can measure chloramine or perchlorate?
Aren't these things your water supplier should have to disclose? I know that chloramines are a regualted chemical, so I think they are required by the EPA to make that availibe to you. Perchlorate is an unregulated containment and they are required to monitor those levels too, so again, they should be able to tell you the level. (Both of these chemicals are on my local "Water Quality Standards of the Safe Drinking Water Act" report.) But if you think the levels are different in your home vs. what the are sending out of the plant, you might ask you local water guys if they would re-test your tap. They have the equipment and might be willing to help you out. Beyond that, I would contact the EPA, I am sure they can recommend a lab.
I think he was interested in seeing the effects of campden tablets which can only practically be done if he tests himself. If he puts 1/4 tablet in 20 gallons and takes a sample, then adds another 1/4 and takes a sample and does that twice more to see how much he really needs (1/4, 1/2, 3/4 , whole) by the time he's paid for the 4 tests he'll probably have spent more than the $65 cost of the kit. Then there is the seasonal variation aspect of it.

So far, nobody's mentioned how to get to the aforesaid knob in the
first place, or alternatives
to manipulating it.
Navigating with the mouse is a poor second to precise locating, and
using qwerty actions to set values, be it a knob or slider, is more
accurate.So, tab, or an associated action to get to the knob in the first
place, and something like ALT+ up/down arrows (as an example) to change the knob
value. Then it's irrelevant whether the knob responds to mouse
up/down/left/right, or mouse wheel, for users who find those options
second best, when a more efficient and precise option already exists.
For graduated speed in the case of a spin knob (starting slow and
getting faster), the user only needs to
keep the actions pressed.Alex.

Norton 360
Full user review
"Trouble-free, fast install, never a problem, NO WORRY!"
You don't have to be a techno-geek to understand it, nor be one to configure it. The back-up performs quick & easy. In spite of what some have said, this takes very little resources from your machine, less than almost all other leading brands.
None to date after two years running it.
I like Norton 360 because it doesn't make me worry. I'm not getting a zillion alarms and boxes asking me to do something every time I am online. It reports to me if it catches something, and provides a weekly and monthly summary of what it caught, and does it all without me having to decide what to do, and then being worried I did the wrong thing. I don't like to pay for something and then do all the work, and with Norton 360, it runs quietly and efficiently. In short, it just does its job.

it is that time of year to cut down my roses how can I propagate them ? would love to have more |
Follow-Up Postings:
Probably your best bet would be to read through the FAQ section of the Rose Propagation & Exchange Forum. There are differences in types of roses and a significant amount of info to cover. If you still have questions, please ask specifically and we can cover those questions. You might also skim through some of the threads in that forum. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rose Propagation & Exchange Forum FAQ Page
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Mon, Nov 4, 13 at 11:18
For generally propagating anything, and if/when you're going to cut them anyway, you can stick the pieces (in the same direction they were growing) as deeply as possible in the soil, either where you want new plants, or in a place where you can move them easily when needed. If any of the branches you intend to cut will bend to the ground without breaking, ground layering also usually works. You would lay a rock or brick on the branch to hold it in contact with the soil (removing any grass or leaves in the way.) I usually do both of these (for about any kind of plant) in the spring but if you're going to trim now anyway, it would be pretty easy to attempt. Those in a similar climate would be best to advise about the possibility of success over winter of propagating roses in particular with these methods. I've gardened in OH, but that's nowhere near as cold as Canada (most winters!) |

text: My Dearest Boofy passed on yesterday afternoon. 28th June, 2010. A little over one year after her twin sister. So quick, with little time to say goodbye. Diagnosed with renal failure, she passed on as a result of a stroke. During her final hours, she was not herself at all. She was unable to recognise us, which is still very painful to comprehend and accept. It was as though she was a completely different animal. She was scared and frightened, and in such a horrific, sterile environment that reaked of 'vet-death'. This wasn't the the way it was supposed to be. Her sister had the comfort of passing away here, at home, in the sunlight and fresh air that she so often enjoyed and loved to bask in. But most importantly, she knew she was with loved ones; Boofy was deprived of this luxury. And all because of the renal failure medication she was prescribed! My friends, please be aware of what medication you and your furry friends are ordered to take for various ailments. Fortekor was my baby's killer; it is renowned for causing cardio myopathy and strokes, as well as built up fluid in the body. This is what my little one suffered through; so please always look for natural alternatives, for the sake of your furry friend. My precious baby will always be remembered. She is now with her twin sister, with their Creator. I am glad that they are no longer suffering on this Earth, but rather in Heaven, looking down upon us all. I am mourning the loss of a family member, and am selfish for wishing her to stay longer with me on this Earth. My baby girl, you will always be loved. Goodbye.

1) Whats his occupation?
2) Do you think that you guys could rent it out and get what you pay mortgage for on it?
3) They have FSBO websites (some for a small fee) that you can list the house on. And you might want to also try an open house (listing it in the local newspaper) as opposed to just craigslist. (
FSBO Homes For Sale By Owner | Real Estate Listings For Sale By Owner at FSBO.com
4) Have you guys thought about short sale? Its not as bad as a foreclosure and you can be sure to get a house within the next year or two. A short sale with a promissory note is better b/c you wont be quite settling, you just sell the house for what its worth and then sign a promissory note to the loan company to make monthly payments on the remainder of the loan. That doesnt affect your credit like if you were to short sale it for less. Your loan company can probably assist you in doing one (it might cost a few thousand though but im not sure if you go through your loan company, like maybe $2000).
5) He could probably look into asking for a relocation package that would 1. help you move and 2. could potentially help you guys get a listing agent
