An incident at the "Alamo Plaza Motel" in Baton Rouge left investigators with more questions than answers.
Detectives responded to a man down call just after one Wednesday afternoon. There were reports a room was covered in blood. However, when investigators showed up, they couldn't find a victim.
People staying at the motel told News 2 the man staying in the room investigators were checking had been there for a couple of weeks.
Details surrounding the incident remain sketchy. BRPD officials said the incident remains under investigation.

IQ vs. "I Will"
Emotional and moral intelligence may be more important than "native intelligence."
Brought to you by Liberty Mutual's
The Responsibility Project
I grew up hearing this little platitude from my parents: "It's not IQ, it's 'I will.'" They wanted to instill the idea that even the highest intelligence quotient doesn't spell success without some determination and good old-fashioned hustle.
Yes, IQ tests are used as a gauge of logical reasoning and technical intelligence. And children who score high are more likely than those with low IQs to succeed academically and in business. But those high scores might not have as much to with raw intelligence as they do with how motivated kids are to do well on the tests. In recent years, studies by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have shown that test takers who are promised rewards for doing well on IQ and other cognitive tests score higher. A Science magazine article notes University of Michigan psychologist Richard Nisbett's book, "Intelligence and How to Get It," which maintains that motivation is a major determiner for success. "A high IQ and a subway token will only get you into town," Nesbitt tells Science.
Now, according to a recent Forbes magazine article, researchers from the Carnegie Institute of Technology suggest that a scant 15 percent of financial success is due to technical knowledge; the rest can be attributed to skills in "human engineering" – i.e. your personality and ability to communicate, negotiate and lead. According to the article, Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman found that people would rather do business with a person they like and trust rather than someone they don't, even if the likeable person is offering a lower quality product or service at a higher price.
So what can you develop in addition to native smarts? The "I will" of today, according to Forbes, is EQ (Emotional Intelligence), MQ (Moral Intelligence) and BQ (Body Intelligence) – all somewhat difficult to measure, but with a combined significance that's far greater than IQ.
Your EQ is your awareness of your own feelings and those of others, and using emotions that are appropriate to different situations, as well as having healthy coping techniques for stress. MQ is a gauge of your integrity, responsibility, sympathy and forgiveness. The Forbes article suggests you can raise your MQ by making fewer excuses and taking responsibility for your actions, avoiding little white lies, showing tolerance of other people's shortcomings, and communicating respect to others. And while it can be easy to deny the mind-body connection, listening to your body, eating energy-giving foods and getting enough exercise and rest largely determine your feelings, thoughts, self-confidence and energy level – all of which can dramatically benefit the functioning of your brain and your performance at work.
Do you feel that society's opinions on IQ are evolving? Forbes maintains that a person with less education who has fully developed their EQ, MQ and BQ can be far more successful than a highly educated person who falls short emotionally, morally and physically. What's your take?

Gay Marriage: Pros and Cons
The truth of the matter is, I think, they cannot!
Pick any argument they make and they can easily be rebuffed.
Let's look at the top three excuses one at a time:
1) Marriage is an American Institution and must be protected to be just between a man and a woman: Do you talk about 50% divorce rate? That's far from an institution. Also, as long as 2 drunks can get married in a drive thru wedding chapel in Las Vegas, that's very weak ground on which to build and institution
2) Marriage is a gift from God and must be preserved: Do you talk about separation of church and state. See the first amendment to the US Constitution.
3) Marriage is for procreation/children: Then marriage licenses should only be given to fertile couples, and those who are paralyzed, or women who have gone thru menopause may not be married because they cannot have children.
4) Gay marriage will undermine US Society: See the State of Massachusetts. Gay marriage has been the law there for nearly 2 years. There has been NO destruction of society there. The streets are not running with blood, the sky is not falling – life goes on!
The concept of Separate but Equal has never withstood Constitutional muster, and it won't here.

Ok since there seems to be a intrest to doing a brew together I'll start a new thread. Brewmeister Jeff has said that he would be open to hosting if ok'ed by "his better half". I personaly think a date in Jan would be nice to do since we would have all the new goodies we got during the holidays. I know that I could bring my AG set up the whole way from the same village. Lets see if we can set a date for this. I know I will not be able to do this on Jan. 12 since I will be going to the Marquette B-ball game. But I'm good for any weekend other than that.
Let me know- I'll try to make it. We have some things going on in January, but most weekends are clear. I won't brew but can bring some items if needed and drink YOUR beer.
I should be able to be there.
Depends on the day. Work most weekends.
AlMagic Bus Brewery
I might make a road trip up there to hang out, if that's cool.
I will check with the wife this evening, she'll probably need the weekend to ponder it anyway. Do we want one of each (AG, Extract, PM) happening? I can get some splitters if we need hoses for submersion Chillers too.
BrewMeister Jeff
Alright - talked to the wife and checked with Sause and the 20th of January seems to be the best option right now. Are we going to do one of each? All Grain, Partial and a Extract? Let me know if anyone just wants to show up and watch.
I can bring my AG equipment since I live so close. Also what kind of TV do you have? That is the Confrence Championship weekend so the Packers might be playing that day.
Just got off the phone with my BIL. That might be one of our many family Christmases, so now I'm not sure..........
Conference Games and Family Christmas Parties - Maybe we can bump it out the FeBREWary. Things should have slowed down by then, NO?

beautiful lace details!!! Had to have this one! I usually wear a large, but the med was a better fit, I layer a pink top under which really shows the lace detail! It is soft, and has a nice shrit tail hem. Planning to wear a tank under for spring. You will love this top! February 3, 2012
So Cute!!! I love this shirt, fits great. The shirt fits true to size. The other reviews mentioned the shirt was a little big. I have to disagree. I ordered a large which is what I usually wear, and it fit perfect. I also worry about lace because it can be itchy, not this shirt it is very soft. February 24, 2012
Cute and Comfortable Love this shirt, I usually wear a medium in shirts but bought a small. January 24, 2012

(Erik W. Robelen, Education Week) The nation's K-12 education system gets an average grade of D for the job it does "engaging and nurturing" minorities to pursue careers in the STEM fields, and a D-plus for such performance with girls, based on results released today from a survey of female and minority chemists and chemical engineers. Those polled also believe science teachers play a larger role than parents and others in inspiring an interest in science, with 70 percent saying teachers have the most influence at the elementary level, and nearly 90 percent saying teachers have the most influence at the high school level.

(Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology) Purdue University is teaming up with PBS to educate elementary school teachers on how to teach engineering concepts to young students. The new course for preK-6 teachers is a joint effort of PBS TeacherLine, an online professional development program for educators, and Purdue's Institute for P-12 Engineering Research and Learning (INSPIRE) within the School of Engineering Education. The goal of the effort is ultimately to interest students at an early age in the sciences and engineering. Read More
(WJLA-TV, Washington, DC) Minority boys at a Maryland elementary school are getting more exposure to the fields of science, technology, engineering and math through a program sponsored by the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. Boys at William Beanes Elementary School practice hands-on learning by spending their Saturdays building balloon rockets and flying helicopters through the program, which has improved student test scores and will expand next year.

(Joseph Piro, Education Week) In the midst of all the STEM frenzy, we may want to do something riskier, and more imaginative, to save the country: turn STEM funding into STEAM funding. Inserting the letter A, for the arts, into the acronym could afford us even greater global advantage. Read More
(Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times) Thomas Friedman reports on a dinner to celebrate the top 40 finalists in the 2010 Intel Science Talent Search, which, through a national contest, identifies and honors the top math and science high school students in America, based on their solutions to scientific problems.

The latest Barbie doll, due for release in October, is a computer engineer with a binary number t-shirt and matching pink laptop and cell phone headset. Her occupation was chosen after Mattel conducted a vote of Barbie admirers. Whether you think she's "geek chic" or feel that her highly sexualized figure and clothing sends the wrong message, the fact is that Barbie has a big impact on girls. According to Mattel, 90% of girls ages 3-10 own at least one Barbie doll and BarbieGirls.com has 18 million registered users worldwide. Like it or not, Barbie is a popular culture icon and a role model for girls. Read More
The theme of National Engineering Month 2010 is "design the future," and experts say the future is getting very big and very small. John McLaughlin is a professor of geomatics engineering at the University of New Brunswick. He sees engineers tackling massive-scale issues like smart continental power grids that would improve energy efficiency and prevent large-scale black outs. He also sees engineers going deeper into nanotechnology as they become the "doctors of the 21st century" in biomedicine and by designing better drugs and medical equipment. Read More

(John Wildermuth, San Francisco Chronicle) Stanford is training a new type of engineer for a fast-changing world and James Plummer wants to get the word out that students needn't be a total techie to apply. "We're looking for kids who think of the world in terms of finding solutions to big problems, like global warming, international development, the environment," Plummer, dean of the School of Engineering, said in an interview. "We want to attract students ... who might have a wider world view" than those in the traditional math- and science-laden programs featured at the nation's top technical schools. Read More
(ScienceDaily) Women who are good at mathematics often do not choose careers in math-intensive fields, such as computer science, physics, technology, engineering, chemistry, and higher mathematics, because they want the flexibility to raise children, or because they prefer other fields of science that are less math-intensive, according to a new study. The study, an integrative analysis of 35 years of research on sex differences in math, offers explanations for why women are underrepresented in math-intensive science careers. Read More

(American Association of University Women) In an era when women are increasingly prominent in medicine, law and business, why are there so few women scientists and engineers? This report presents in-depth yet accessible profiles of eight key research findings that point to environmental and social barriers - including stereotypes, gender bias and the climate of science and engineering departments in colleges and universities - that continue to block women's participation and progress in science, technology, engineering, and math.

(Scott Jaschik, Inside Higher Ed) A constant theme of reports about math and science is that the United States will have a large enough supply of scientists only if it does a better job of attracting black and Latino scientists -- and not just relying on Asian American, white and foreign talent. Many of these reports note that large shares of black and Latino high school students don't receive the kind of preparation they should in math and science. A new study points to another factor: the role of black college instructors in encouraging black science students to persist as science majors. The study finds a statistically significant relationship between black students who plan to be a science major having at least one black science instructor as freshmen and then sticking to their plans.

(CBS News) Girls in the U.S. have closed the achievement gap in math, but boys still lag behind in reading, according to a new study. The Center on Education Policy found that girls generally achieved the same proficiency in math as boys at the elementary, middle and high school grade levels. Girls have traditionally trailed boys in that subject. However, the traditional gender gap in reading remains, with girls outperforming boys at the three main grade levels. In many states, the learning gap exceeded 10 percent. Read Article Read Report

I am so excited to be linking up with Kelly's Korner today! The last few times that Kelly has had Singles Day, I have thought about this girl right here:
This is Jordon!! She is 22 years old and a Senior Early Childhood Education Major at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. She will graduate in May 2014, and will officially be a teacher of young children! She is going to be an amazing teacher! I don't even remember the first time that I met Jordon, but I do know it was at church. Jordon and her family have attended the same church as I do for several years. She has the sweetest family ever!
(Jordon is on the far right in the orange dress).
Jordon's dad is a farmer and she loves to hang out with him on the farm. I would describe Jordon as a "girly-girl" that's not one bit afraid of getting dirty!!:) She might be dolled up and looking adorable one second, but hanging out on the tractor or messing with animals the next (still looking adorable, of course)!
Jordon's mom, Missy, was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. Jordon did everything she could to help take care of her mom and get her to appointments. It was during that time that I realized what a special family Jordon's family was. I don't even know if Jordon knew how many people were watching her and admiring her for her strength during that time. Like I said, Jordon is 22, but she is so much more responsible and mature than most 22 year old girls that I know! I'm telling you---I am 34 and when I'm talking to Jordon, I feel like I am talking to someone my age!! I forget that there are 12 years between us! Haha! (Or maybe I am just in denial that I am getting OLD)!
Jordon and her mom at Race for the Cure:)
Jordon and her brothers:)
If there is one thing that I know about Jordon, it is that she LOVES her Daddy! Her dad has been a wonderful example of what Jordon wants to find in her future husband. I've talked to Jordon a couple of times about dating and relationships. It's very evident that Jordon knows exactly what she wants and I truly admire her for standing strong in that area. Jordon is very passionate about finding someone who will be a strong Christian leader in their home. She is looking for someone that is a hard worker, family oriented, has a good education, and loves children!
Jordon is such a fun-loving girl! She loves Jesus more than anything else, and it shows! She is not only beautiful on the outside, she is beautiful on the inside as well! She has a heart for God that I only wish I would have had at her age! She loves the elderly and kids, of course (that's kind of a
pre-requisite to becoming a teacher) Haha! She has the voice of an angel. This girl can SING, y'all! I remember the first time that I heard her sing at church. It literally brought me to tears. The Lord has given her a talent that allows her to lead people to worship Him. Beautiful...just beautiful.
I could go on and on about what an amazing girl that Jordon is, but I would be here all night! The bottom line is this: whoever God has chosen for Jordon (whether it be someone that finds her through Kelly's Korner or somewhere else), he is gonna be one happy fella!! I can't wait to see where the Lord takes this girl!
If you are interested in getting to know Jordon or know someone who might be just leave me a comment here or you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

5 Well surprised to find how good this one was!Coolwater | 19/11/2007 | See all Coolwater's reviews (88)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 10 Clothing Reviewer I wasn't going to leave a review as there had been non fewer than 89 (5) star reviews...now that takes some beating.This game has everything that you want; A sizzling Storyline, Atmosphere, Suspense, Tension, Gameplay...the list is endless.I'm gutted coz my sister owns it and I only get to play it when I go round. Sometimes i wonder why i'm popping round..?Is it because I care or is just because I want to play the game...me thinks both.:-)
5 well worth the money!ddanblack | 28/07/2007 | See all ddanblack's reviews (2)having only just gotten my wii and after completing zelda i was looking for a new game to kill the timeafter reading reviwes for this game i decided to get it, i was not dissapointed! this is the best resident evil game i've played...altho i think its lacking in the "fear" the original games hadbut still i give it 5 stars with the wii contorls it makes the game more enjoyable if u already have this game on PS2 or gamecube and u have a wii get it again u wont be disappointed!!!
5 Fantastic!!!thehobo | 02/07/2007 | See all thehobo's reviews (1)I have never played a Resident Evil game properly before, but after getting this on friday managed to clock up 16hrs play in less than 2days. Everything is amazing: the graphics and spectacular level design; atmospheric music and tense plotline; the montion sensitive controls and shooting system all help to make this one of the best games I have ever played on any console.If you own a Wii this is a must buy (unless you are under 15 - it is quite scary).
5 RemasteredPoachedEgg | 20/04/2010 | See all PoachedEgg's reviews (3)If you own Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube, PS2 or PC and can't stop playing it then I urge you to buy the Wii version. If you haven't played RE4, again, get this version. The new controls that use the wiimote and nunchuck are executed perfectly and make the experience more intuitive and enjoyable. If the wiimote isn't your thing, the game can be played with the gamecube or the classic controller. The Wii version also includes all the exclusives that were on the PS2 and PC versions which makes for alot of replay value. This new version has refreshed and remastered the game and has made it even more addictive and fun. A must buy for all Wii owners and RE fans.
5 One of the greatest games ever made.BARKSTAR | 16/04/2008 | See all BARKSTAR's reviews (8)Top 100 Games Reviewer I have been gaming for 25 years and Resident Evil 4 has to be one of the greatest game experiences I have ever had the pleasure to play through. Level design, gameplay and pacing are all expertly balanced and although showing it's age now, the graphics and effects are still superb throughout.A word of warning to Resident Evil fans, the game is nothing like the previous games in the series. It is a full 3D action, adventure experience as opposed to a survival horror game played on pre-rendered backgrounds. Purists may scoff that Resident Evil 4 strays too far away from the original gameplay and although true, I know the developers have taken the series in the right direction for it to become the masterpiece that it is today. For those that did not like the original games then give this a try as it is a totally different experience.If you have not played the game before I recommend you pick this up immediately and the Wii version is the best of the bunch. Having previously owned it on the Gamecube, the quicker, more precise aiming and automatic knife swiping (achieved by swinging the Wii remote) made the game an even bigger and better experience than before, and one that cannot be matched on any other console control system to date.All of the extra features that were available on the later PS2 port are also now included with the updated graphics of the Wii version. This coupled with the enhanced control scheme really ought to give previous players of the Gamecube version another reason to give the game another run through.If I have any complaints it would be that I would have implemented a quicker way to equip grenades as a secondary weapon or have had a shortcut for using them as switching between them and your main weapon can feel a little clumsy at times. 180 degree quick turn is a good feature and certainly essential for survival but I would also have implemented a jumping roll when running from enemies that turns you 180 degrees upon getting up. This would also have been nice for dealing with some of the quicker enemies in the game and also for fighting in some of the enclosed spaces.Other than these minor gripes I would recommend this game to anybody who has the Wii. It is one of the few games that show the console can house an intense, in your face, exhilarating experience as good as anything the PS3 or XBOX 360 can muster up. To anyone looking for a hardcore Wii game, far away from the casual and minigame collections that are available on the console I suggest that you give this a shot. Hope you all enjoy the experience as much as I did.10/10

Reason prevails with EPA
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
News came Monday that cooler heads have prevailed as Newmarket officials were able to strike a deal with the EPA which could save the community millions of dollars in wastewater treatment plant upgrades while giving the community time to adequately address the level of nitrogen output which is harming Great Bay.
What this means for other communities which comprise the Great Bay Coalition, which has been fighting the EPA, is unclear as of this writing. although, it would appear the EPA is working to reach individual accommodations with each. Portsmouth is looking at an 8.0 mg/l limit because of its proximity to the ocean which, in effect, dilutes its wastewater impact on the bay. Durham has worked out its own arrangement, leaving Dover, Rochester and Exeter to wonder if there is relief in the offing for ratepayers there.
This was something apparently recognized by EPA officials as they made their own announcement later Monday:
Hopefully, all the work of these and other public officials will benefit other coalition communities whose permits will come due in coming years. |

About Me
My passion is children's books. I want to generate awareness for Canadian content by reviewing;and profiling authors and illustrators and publishers;from our fair nation and from my local area; York Region. A book-a-day and sometimes more. Think of it like the 100 mile diet but for children's books well… okay some will be farther than 100 miles, but you get the point.
Plus, I will also highlight things of interest relating to Canadian children's books; local events, news, discussions. I'm getting right in there.
I wish I was Oprah and I could review a book and then *poof* it became an instant bestseller because I know when something is great. Alas, until I reach Oprah status I will start with this blog and hopefully get parents, caregivers, educators and kids interested in Canadian children's books and their creators.
It makes sense: local and Canadian content mean more bang for your buck, generates a greater connection to the written word and supports our local economies. Not to mention that we have amazing talents lurking all around us. I'm pretty tired of the group-think mentality when it comes to books and I hunger for something more. I think there are others like me out there.
Thanks for reading and please feel free to contact me, I love discussing anything related to children's books!
PS. Why am I reviewing a book-a-day? Read here!

"very interesting possibilties !"
I just installed this app ,so I have not yet realized all the possibilities ! However its much less expensive then adding a second monitor and except for a constant view you would enjoy with second monitor.
The only issuse I have so far is not being able to keep your Windows background intact when this app is up and running.
I believe this freeware app is one to be tried and enjoyed . A small download at 5+ M.B.'s ,it leaves a little footprint on your H.D. i would recomend others try it ,hey you can always uninstall it ! I actually paid almost $10 for what I now know to be a useless app called desktoplet ,big deal a small box that shows you your desktop icons, 360desktop does so much more for free ! You may actually find you like 360Desktop very much if you are the type that likes multible windows & apps. active on your PC !

Hi, my name is Jo and I just am a 30th lap trophy wife, married a man is far greater than ever in golf or business trip. Boring at times, but the lifestyle is physical fitness, and membership in a wellness center, with my beautiful figure 36-24-36 in order and time to play a little. We have had problems with our recent switch to the TV so my husband had arranged for a company to come and a new antenna and put it all in. The morning came and as usual, I arrived late and only wearing a bra, panties, garters and stockings, when the doorbell rang. I hang a robe and opened the door, the boys and showed them that fishmpegs the sentence was way up the stairs and put on a dress. The phone rang and my sister was complaining about her husband again, I knew it would be a long and pulled up a chair and listened to his latest passion. An hour later, finally hanging up occurred in only two guys to tell me that they were ready. We walked in the front room, andflipped through the channels to show me fishmpegs the ropes. The last channel that was searched a shopping channel, and it was a young girl lingerie models. Of course I loved her and uttered the usual words about your character and what fishmpegs he wore. ' Do you use fishmpegs that sort of thing,' he asked, and I must admit that I did. ' Do you use now,' said one. 'Yes' I replied, embarrassed. ' Let's take a look,' said the other. As a natural show- off, and proud of my body, she took off my suit and put it in my underwear. To be honest, may well have been seen because it was very steep and lace bite and I could see my nipples through the thin top of my bra. The old man approached me and kissed me, his hand caressing my breasts before falling and feeling my way through my underwear. He came behind me and opened my bra, push down on my shoulders before kissing my nipples. Immediately stinging moment when he slipped behind me, cupping my breasts and nipples fondledª caressing my ears. The other man came and started to caress my legs over my stocking tops and then slipped his hand slipped into my panties with your finger at me, before I found my Clitty. God fishmpegs was right and was soon surpassed by orgasam. Kneeling, he pulled down my panties and plunged his tongue into my pussy. The game behind me with my nipples me my underwear up and sliding on my ankle and left, never to be seen again, a trophy, I guess. They took me to the kitchen and lay down on the table and pulled his pants and out of their cocks, I took it in my mouth, while the other has me between the legs and gently fishmpegs sucked Clitty me, I felt his cock in my wet entrance fishmpegs and gasped as he pushed the right moves slowly and deeply. The cock in my mouth as he pulled him away and fuck them mixed up. The second cock were not as great, but it moved quickly and soon he was building to a climax. All gathered in myThe pussy one in my mouth, God, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Let me be there, panting breathlessly as they dressed. 'We are going now,' he said, ' I do not need to worry about the account, we see that. 'What a great way to get their TV tuned!

1. Deploying renewables-based residential heating & cooling. What are the key features of a successful deployment programme for residential renewable heating and cooling technologies? What can policy makers, programme developers and other stakeholders learn from the experience of others in tackling barriers in different countries around the world? Answers can be found in the results of an in-depth review commissioned by the IEA Renewable Energy Technology Deployment programme (RETD). Now downloadable from the RETD website, the Renewable Heating and Cooling Program Best Practices Guide packs into 82-pages a wealth of information on successful portfolio development. It advises on the best ways to design, implement and evaluate programmes aimed at expanding application of renewables-based heating and cooling technologies. Thirty-two examples of best practice are detailed, based on experience in twelve countries. The guide is accompanied by a 156-page study, Best Practices in the Deployment of Renewable Energy for Heating and Cooling in the Residential Sector. This describes the underlying project, designed to help policy makers at municipal, regional, national and multi-national levels develop robust, effective sustainable programmes in this key domain. RETD is one of 41 IEA international energy technology collaborations.
2. Faster and farther with low-carbon energy technologies. Firmer steps towards a global clean-energy future are needed urgently. But getting on target with greenhouse gas emissions reduction will involve many different energy technologies and huge investments. The challenges are considerable. To help countries address them together, a tailor-made vehicle exists in the shape of the International Low-Carbon Energy Technology Platform. Created in response to requests from the G8 and IEA Ministers, this Technology Platform is creating opportunities around the globe for key stakeholders to join forces in accelerating the energy technology transition. Its workshops help catalyse partnerships and activities that advance development and implementation of low-carbon energy technology strategies and roadmaps at national or regional levels. Stakeholders share experience on best-practice technologies and policies. Local expertise and capacity are built up. To find out more about how the International Low-Carbon Energy Technology Platform is working to up-scale development and deployment of clean energy technologies, download the new Frequently Asked Questions brochure from the IEA website.
3. IEA's new Energy Technology Perspectives team leader. The IEA is pleased to welcome Markus Wråke, who recently joined the Agency as Senior Energy Technology Policy Analyst. He heads the team that produces the Agency's biennial flagship Energy Technology Perspectives publications (ETP). With a background in engineering and a doctorate in economics, Markus Wråke brings the IEA extensive experience in the field of energy, climate change and interaction between the policy-making and industrial spheres. Since 2006, successive editions of the ETP have been providing government and corporate decision-takers around the world with analysis, scenarios and roadmaps for mobilising technology to address climate and energy security issues. The next IEA Energy Technology Perspectives study is due out in the summer of 2012. The OPEN Bulletin sought Dr. Wråke's views on some of the pivotal questions facing energy strategists today. To access the interview, click here.
4. Technology and the Indian power sector. The Indian power sector will face numerous challenges over the next four decades. More than one-third of India's inhabitants currently have no access to electricity, so urgent action is needed. At the same time, driven by rapid economic growth, electricity demand is projected to increase between fivefold and sixfold by 2050. Massive investments will be needed. But unique opportunities will also emerge for taking the power sector towards a low-carbon future while fostering economic growth and addressing energy poverty. The IEA's Information Paper Technology Development Prospects for the Indian Power Sector presents in more detail the analysis for India published in Energy Technology Perspectives 2010 (ETP). Taking a techno-economic perspective, this 88-page study builds on detailed resource and technology data for India and identifies the key power-sector technologies needed for India to achieve its transition towards a low-carbon power-supply system. Download from the IEA website. Read more about the paper.
5. Energy efficiency indicators in Russia. With a truly vast potential for reducing energy consumption, Russia is taking ambitious energy-economy steps aimed at shaving 40% off its 2007 levels of energy intensity by 2020. A recent law on energy efficiency introduces wide-ranging energy efficiency requirements for households, businesses and new buildings. For some years, with the support of the UK Strategic Programme Fund, the IEA has been working with Russia's statistical authorities and the Russian Energy Agency on developing the energy efficiency indicators that provide the key to understanding and influencing energy use patterns. The newly published IEA working paper Development of Energy Efficiency Indicators in Russia reports extensively on this project and its findings. The authors offer in-depth, by-sector analysis, a set of conclusions and valuable annexes describing the IEA's pyramid approach to energy-intensity indicators and its methodology for analysing energy consumption.
