Gas flaring costs Iraq $5 million a day
By Khayoun Saleh
Azzaman, November 16, 2012
The flaring of associated gas from the country's producing oil fields, particularly in the southern Province of Basra, costs $5 million a day, according to Dhia al-Mawsawi, the Director-General of Southern Oil Company.
Iraq's three largest producing-fields lie in Basra, where most of the country's oil output and exports originate.
But the country still lacks the technology to process its associated gas and turn it into fuel despite a surge in domestic needs, particularly for cooking fuel.
Iraq currently imports large volumes of natural gas from Iran.
However, Mawsawi said there should be no flaring of gas in Basra by the end of 2013.
He said his company was in talks with oil giant Royal Dutch Shell for an agreement to build the facilities to process the country's associated gas and turn it into domestic fuel.
He did not say whether any contract had been signed but added that the oil major would start working under current agreements in which the giant firm has already signed several deals with the country.
Iraq only process 400 million cubic meters of its total output of associated gas estimated at more than 1100 cubic meters.

ROS1 Testing
The ROS1 Biomarker provides enhanced molecular information for the treatment of NSCLC patients.
Caris Target Now® evidence-based molecular profiling service now offers ROS1 testing by FISH for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients. Both Caris Target Now Select and Caris Target Now Comprehensive NSCLC profiles will feature ROS1. The addition of ROS1 provides oncologists further molecular intelligence to make more informed treatment decisions.
ROS1: receptor tyrosine kinase and novel oncogenic driver in NSCLC
- NSCLC patients with ROS1 translocation have shown positive response to crizotinib in limited clinical studies.1,2,3
- ROS1 rearrangement occurs in 1-2% of NSCLC patients, or approximately 3,000-4,000 new patients in the United States each year.1,2
- ROS1 rearrangement is predominantly seen in younger, never-smokers with adenocarcinoma.1
- ROS1 translocations have been discovered in other tumors, including cholangiocarcinoma.4 It was first discovered in glioblastoma cell line U118MG.3 Additional studies are currently ongoing.
Caris Target Now Select is a focused tumor profiling service for On-Compendium therapeutic associations. Caris Target Now Comprehensive is a broad tumor profiling service for On-and Off-Compendium therapeutic associations. See the NSCLC profile menu for Caris Target Now Select and Comprehensive and all other Caris Target Now profile menus.

In the wake of the horrific shooting at Forth Worth's Wedgwood Baptist Church, pundit-evangelist Jerry Falwell assumed his usual position in the center of the media story and offered this assertion: "Most hate crimes in America today are not directed toward African-Americans or Jewish people or gays or lesbians," he told Time magazine. "They are directed at evangelical Christians."
Falwell's role in the massacre story symbolizes much of what passes for mainstream news coverage of religion and religious debates: it's loud, divisive, simplistic and full of unchallenged falsehoods. According to the FBI's most recent hate crime statistics, in 1997 there were 3,838 bias-motivated offenses against African-Americans, 1,159 against Jews and 1,351 against gays and lesbians. Bias-motivated offenses against all Protestants totaled 59.
The world of religion and spirituality is vast and complex. Yet mainstream media tend to reduce religion coverage to a narrow set of debates promoted by conservative evangelicals -- gay rights and abortion, plus school and censorship issues -- while mainline denominations and concerns are marginalized.
Beginning with the media-assisted rise of Falwell's Moral Majority (see Tina Rosenberg's May 1982 Washington Monthly piece, "How the Media Made the Moral Majority"), mainstream news outlet have come to equate religious activism with that of the right-wing. They've elevated Religious Right leaders to the top tier of punditry, while shying away from serious scrutiny of their movements.
Indeed, media gullibility over a 20-year period has helped the Religious Right project political power way beyond its real strength. In recent years, credulous journalists have frequently reported that Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition has 1.7 million members (when only 310,000 member-subscribers received the group's magazine, say postal records) and "distributes" 40 million voter guides (though former leaders say it was expected that millions would never be distributed).
One wonders if the dearth of investigative inquiry about conservative evangelical movements stems from journalists' guilt over their largely secular backgrounds -- or fear of being called "Christian-bashers" or "religious bigots."
For all the complaints about "liberal bias" distorting their views, religious conservatives communicate directly to millions of Americans every day through media they own and control -- including more than 1300 Christian broadcast stations (nearly 10% of all TV and radio stations), radio networks such as James Dobson's Focus on the Family and various cable TV platforms. Left-of-center movements -- feminist, labor, environmental, etc. -- have nothing close to this media power.
There's also the constant access that mainstream media have provided to Religious Right advocates like Falwell, Cal Thomas, Gary Bauer and Oliver North as commentators. They've been among the most frequent guests on such TV news shows as Nightline, where Falwell offers his expertise about AIDS and homosexuality. Thanks to CNN and The McLaughlin Group, Religious Right fellow-traveler Pat Buchanan was the first pundit to appear on national TV seven days a week.
By contrast, the Religious Left -- a leading force in most American social movements today for peace, economic justice and human rights -- is virtually missing from mainstream news. Don't take my word for it: A 1993 study of religion coverage on network TV by the right-wing Media Research Center concluded, "With a handful of exceptions, the religious left went unnoticed and uncovered by the networks."
Also undercovered are mainline religious institutions, which regularly issue political/moral positions on controversial topics. In September, two dozen religious leaders -- including the heads of the National Council of Churches, Catholic Bishops and major Christian denominations -- issued an appeal urging President Clinton to end the Iraqi embargo due to the "morally intolerable" suffering and deaths of civilians. The letter was greeted by media silence.
That mainstream news frames religious activism and advocacy as a conservative endeavor is clear from the selective coverage given to the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, the church's policymaking arm and a strong voice for the poor in Washington. On many issues, NCCB takes vocal positions that are left of center and left of President Clinton -- opposing, for example, capital punishment, the welfare reform bill signed by Clinton, and the embargoes on Cuba and Iraq. It also, of course, opposes abortion -- the one issue on which its views are eagerly sought by mainstream media.
During the health care reform debate in 1993, the Catholic Bishops put out a letter calling for universal coverage, opposing a "two-tiered health system" in which the well-off would get better services (implicitly criticizing the Clinton plan) and opposing abortion funding. After the press focused only on abortion, NCCB social development staffer John Carr commented: "Many media outlets focus quickly on abortion. There's a tendency to reduce the Church's advocacy to a one-issue approach."
A persistent media bias projects religion or morality as exclusively conservative. "In spite of efforts by some candidates to make religion, or issues of morality, factors in their selection of a candidate," reported The New York Times on the eve of the 1992 election, "there are some indications that voters are not buying it." The evidence that voters weren't applying religion or morality to their choice? Bill Clinton was leading George Bush among Catholics, according to a poll. That Catholic voters may have weighed moral issues -- perhaps on economics -- in preferring the more liberal candidate was apparently not considered.
An enduring myth is that secular mainstream media are hostile to organized religion. Given that journalism is supposed to be hardheadedly fact-based, and religion is faith-based, one might expect tension. But in practice, coverage is often so embarrassingly soft that it seems to be pandering to believers. This was the conclusion of a FAIR survey examining dozens of cover stories on religious themes in recent years in three news-weeklies: Time ("The Search For Jesus"; "Who Was Moses?"; "The Shroud of Turin"; etc.); Newsweek ("The Meaning of Mary"; "Rethinking the Resurrection"; "The Mystery of Prayer"; etc.); and U.S. News and World Report ("Prophecy"; "In Search of Christmas"; "In Search of Jesus"; etc.). Journalistic codes of balance were often jettisoned -- Time's cover article "Does Heaven Exist?," for example, didn't quote a single naysayer.
One religious group that can legitimately complain of recurrent bias are followers of Islam. On talk radio, Islam is denounced as a "violent religion" -- while terrorism "experts" falsely declare that Islamic religious doctrine sanctions genocide. Mortimer Zuckerman, owner and editor of U.S. News and World Report, once wrote that Islam's founder Muhammad had a "doctrine" of "making treaties with enemies while he is weak, violating them when he is strong." Islam has no such doctrine.
Mainstream journalists report on terrorist incidents by matter-of-factly referring to "Islamic violence" (but would know better than to speak of "Christian violence" or "Jewish violence"). After the Oklahoma City federal building was bombed, The New York Times speculated on possible Islamic culprits in part because "the city is home to at least three mosques."
If there's a group that gets coverage more biased than Muslims, it's non-believers. An NBC report on the disappearance of Madalyn Murray O'Hair began with Tom Brokaw's comment "She had the dubious distinction of being known as America's most outspoken atheist" -- and included a soundbite from a Christian evangelical: "If she is indeed dead, then she's burning in the fires of hell." Many Christian fundamentalists believe Catholics and Jews also burn in hell -- it's hard to imagine NBC quoting one upon the death of the Pope or a famous rabbi.
The truth is that if mainstream media were hostile toward the organized church and religious conservatives, Gov. Jesse Ventura's recent remarks disparaging religion would have been greeted by either approval or apathy. Instead, the response was a bit like Moses' reaction on seeing his people worshiping the golden calf.

Library offers chance to test your knowledge
Did you know Grover Cleveland was the only president to serve non-consecutive terms? Did you know the Kansas Territory once extended all the way to the Rocky Mountains, or John Wayne's real name was Marion Morrison? Have you memorized every question in your Trivial Pursuit board game, or have you ever wanted to try out for "Jeopardy"?
If you can positively answer any of these questions without the use of your cellphone or computer, then you might consider coming to the library's trivia night at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 15.
On the evening of the event, you can come by yourself and be assigned to a team, or you can bring your own team by attending with friends. Teams will work together to answer 10 rounds of trivia with 10 questions in each round. Doors will open at 6 p.m., and the library will provide pizza and soda for all who participate. This is a free event provided to you by the public library and is open to anyone high school age or older.
Registration is suggested but not required. To register, please visit www.hayspublib.org/kansas-room or call (785) 625-9014. A good time is sure to be had by all.
It recently was pointed out to me more people might use the Kansas Room if they were aware of the room's resources and advantages. The Kansas Room is more than a repository of history books. It is an information treasure-trove and a great place to read, study or write a paper on any subject. To help people feel a little more acquainted with the Kansas Room, I will host tours from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Wednesday in February. If you have a few minutes, stop by and I'll show you the ropes of the Kansas Room.
Meanwhile, the Kansas Room also will sponsor a seminar on Kansas birding with Terry Mannell. The seminar will be at 1 p.m. Friday. Anyone who is interested in native birds or learning how to get started in birding is encouraged to attend.
In honor of Presidents Day, the library will show "Dwight Eisenhower Commander-In-Chief" from A&E's award-winning biography series. This 100-minute documentary will take you through the life and legacy of a remarkable Kansan and will be shown at 1 p.m. Feb. 17 in the main floor gallery.
Finally, I would like to encourage local beer and brewery enthusiasts to head to the Kansas Room to pick up your tickets for an exciting event at 7 p.m. March 1.
Through a partnership with the Kansas Humanities Council and Gella's Diner and Lb. Brewing Co., the library is thrilled to bring you "Kansas Brewers and Breweries," a presentation by KHC speaker Cindy Higgins. The event will be at Gella's Diner and will begin with Higgins' presentation at 7 p.m. Following the presentation will be tours of the Lb. Brewery as well as tastings of Liquid Bread's finest beers. This event is absolutely free to the public, but hurry -- there are only 40 tickets available. To reserve your tickets, call (785) 625-9014 or pick them up in the Kansas Room. You must be 21 years old to attend.
The Kansas Room is located in the basement of the Hays Public Library and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Lucia Flaim is Kansas Room Librarian at the Hays Public Library.

Ballygarry House was built in the 18th Century as a majestic landowner's house surrounded by an orchard and a boundary wall, which can be seen at the Western side of the building today. It was bought by the Lawlor family during the 20th century and was later purchased by a group of local businessmen in 1958 one of whom was Gene McGillicuddy. It was converted into a hotel and renamed "The Manhattan Hotel".
The hotel was taken over by Owen McGillicuddy who returned from Switzerland in November 1968. His training soon reflected in the hotel's performance, as it became one of Kerry's best loved venues. The Manhattan was renamed Ballygarry House again in the early 80's. A major redevelopment in the late 90's, led to a new hotel being built around the original features of the house, launching Ballygarry House into the new Millennium.
Since the turn of the Millennium the third Generation of Hotelier, Owen's son Padraig, has been leading the hotel and transforming it to the most luxurious hotel in Tralee and North Kerry.
Padraig has overseen the development of Nádúr Spa, The Pavilion, additional bedrooms and the refinement of the hotels gardens. This hotel in Kerry offers great value spa hotel breaks. Relax during your break and let Padraig and his team ensure you have an enjoyable stay.

Featured Article
The Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents is calling for a reasonable tax increase as part of a solution to the state's budget problems. WNPR's Diane Orson reports.
CAPPS represents school leaders across the state. The organization would like to see the idea of a tax increase included in discussions about how to tackle the state's $400 million budget deficit. Superintendents say if the focus is only on cutting spending, two bad things could happen. CAPPS Executive Director Joseph Cirasuolo:
"First of all, the educational program that's already been reduced this year will be further reduced. In fact it could get to the point in a couple of years where its really eviscerated. The second is, that when expenditures are cut for whether its education or other governmental operations, what we're talking about is laying people off."
Cirasuolo says its time to think about whether rising unemployment will help or hinder a recovery from the current recession. CAPPS says there's no one solution to CT's fiscal crisis. Superintendents want a combination of reduced expenditures and increased revenues.
For WNPR, I'm Diane Orson.

Prince Frederick von Saxe-Lauenberg
Brussels, Brussels, Belgium
Member since January 22, 2009
Prince Frederick aged 56, who is Founder President of Children of the World 2000 has been involved in peace activism since the early 80's. After leaving university the prince joined the family firm which was an import-export business and was also involved in publishing. His present work is amongst other things being a World Peace Emissary and is a Fellow of the International Institute of Peace Studies & Global Philosophy. He has a moral passion in serving the cause of peace and humanity. "I always have this saying in mind when I go out on my missions for peace: - ' Wars are the stains of shame which centuries will not wash away and we cannot redress the wrongdoings of mankind, what we can do is educate those who will one day inherit the earth from us and teach them the values of peace, universal understanding and the joy of global friendship.' "
Children of the World 2000 are initiating two Children's Peace Gardens one in Northern Ireland and the other in Pieria, Northern Greece. The Prime Minister of Ireland recognises and appreciates the work Prince Frederick has done for children in Northern Ireland. The Nobel Peace Laureates Lord Trimble, John Hume and Mairead Corrigan-Maguire are honoured to be working with the prince on the Children of the island of Ireland Peace Gardens initiative. Boutros Boutros Ghali former UN Secretary General described Prince Frederick as "committed, devoted, courageous and with conviction in his selfless pursuit of a greater peace in the world." Mr Koffi Annan a former UN Secretary General recognises the valuable work Children of the World 2000 has done for the world's children. The President also served as Patron of the Child Evangelical Fellowship (South Africa) and was nominated for an award in recognition of his work with children affected by AIDS/HIV.
Prince Frederick recently served on the Honorary Advisory Committee of the World Women's Summit Foundation in Switzerland. Prince Frederick served as Patron and Goodwill Ambassador for the UK charity HOPE FOR CHILDREN for two years until 2006. His African interests are varied and he is Patron of the Ghanaian educational charity St. Patrick's Academy in Western Ghana, Patron of the Educational Alliance of Africa and is a Trustee of the charity S.H.E. which provides medical supplies, school equipment and building materials to Nigeria and the poorer nations in Africa.
Children of the World 2000 was created as an active non-governmental-organisation in the late 1980's following the successful global fund raising campaign by the Band Aid Trust for Famine Relief in 1985/6.
The prince was one of a large team of fund raisers working for the International Red Cross – Red Crescent projects in the Sudan. "I decided to go into the business of famine relief following the shocking revelations coming out of Ethiopia that millions of children were starving and dying as a result of war and the actions of a government who couldn't care less. My aunt was terribly moved by this and sprung into action raising funds for the Ethiopian crisis in the Netherlands who was one of the first countries to react and come to the aid of those who cried for help.
"I had been born into privilege and had come from a comfortable home. The Ethiopian crisis changed the course of my life. Since then I have been advocating that those of us who have come from similar circumstances do their best and help to create a better world for the children of tomorrow." The prince was also an Honorary Co-Chair of the Inaugural World Creative Youth Forum which was held in the Philippines in May,2009. This event was heralded a qualified success by UNESCO.
"The Creative Forum's paramount objectives are to create climates of peace around the world eventually linking up, forming an unbreakable chain of communities who are all demanding peace and tranquillity wherever they are. I have heard this saying: Earth comes first, Mankind second. This is in response to many calls by children and young people to save our planet and the concern out there is very serious. In order to gain world peace we have to seriously attend to the matters surrounding the condition of Mother Earth. If she disintegrates then that will be the fault of mankind and we will have no home, no globe. The wars and other conflicts are seriously damaging the earth along with the environmental damage that humans are doing, so we have to educate and teach our children of today so that they will pass on the knowledge to their children and so on...... "I have received a calling from above to work with the children of the world who demand the attention of those in authority and a commitment from them to cooperate with them if they expect the world to be a safer place in the future." In 2004 Prince Frederick was appointed International Patron and a Goodwill Ambassador of Young Voices South Africa, an organisation committed to advancing the rights of children in Southern Africa through music. On January 12th 2010 the people of Haiti who suffered a terrible tragedy due to the effects of the earhtquake. In 35 or more seconds several hundred thousand had lost their lives and many more injured. Children of the World 2000 has offered to help with the re-building of the country. Prince Frederick has been appointed Patron of HAVSERVE (the Haiti Volunteer Service Network) that has been charged to develop an effective volunteer programme with the collaboration of global ngos like IAVE. The first major undertaking is the Lebrun Village Project including the Lady Geertruida Solar Powered School. The next world global youth event to be organised by ChildrenoftheWorld2000 and partners is yet to be decided.

4 Best Madden yet.biguk1983 | 25/08/2010 | See all biguk1983's reviews (14)Having played NFL games since Joe Montana on my MegaDrive. I can honestly say that the 2 bad reviews above, are from people playing the demo.This game is a move forward from last years. The player animation is much improved, with players pulling and tugginf at shirts. With pretty much every attribute customisable you can really tailor the game to your needs and skill level.The introduction of GameFlow helps speed the games up and takes the stress off picking the right plays for the novice gamer. Its not fool proof it can pick plays that are wrong for the situation, but with in game calls to adjust formations its easily rectified.Whilst its a little way behind the polished look and feel of FIFA 10/11. Its a great game and a must buy for any NFL fan.
5 Dont listen to the 1 star reviewsPilgrim30 | 16/09/2010 | See all Pilgrim30's reviews (1)If you are an NFL fan then you will love this game, it is the most realistic in the series so far and will provide you with hours of enjoyment. But by far the best thing about this game is the Gameflow feature which allows players who arnt as clued up on the plays as others to play a good game and enjoy it, at the same time Gameflow allows more experianced players to create their own game plansA must buy!!!!!
3 Its got one big downfallNOSaints | 14/08/2010 | See all NOSaints's reviews (2)Ive just got madden 10 an tbh i was dissapointed, but its not with the game play that has got better, aswell as its realism and graphics, the one big downfall is that online multiplayer has to be bought for 800 microsoft, that is the only bad thing about the game
5 best so farkrautt69 | 14/08/2010 | See all krautt69's reviews (2)All round improvement on last years. The AI is much better and actually seems to play!. The run game has also undergone a change as your blockers on the whole actually block now and there are holes to run through!.only played a few games but on the whole it is madden 10 with the little changes that just improve it that much more.If you liked madden 10 then this is a must buy
1 madden 11alexreid123 | 20/08/2010 | See all alexreid123's reviews (2)madden 11 is the same repackaged game as last year just with updated rosters!!! do not buy!!!

"I don't want to be depressed by watching national polls," Santorum said. "I just tend to focus on what we're doing on the ground and know, just like in the Ames Straw Poll where no one gave us any chance, every poll said we were way, way back in the back and we finished a pretty strong fourth."
Santorum's campaign has held more than twice as many events in the Hawkeye state as any other 2012 candidate. But the senator denies Iowa is a must-win for his campaign.
"Iowa has to get us in the race," Santorum said, adding that if he can finish third or fourth in Iowa, he will solidify his position as "the conservative alternative" to moderate candidates such Mitt Romney, Huntsman and even Cain.
A few months ago, Santorum, 53, was near tied with Cain in several polls. Cain's campaign is now taking off as Santorum's remains stuck in first gear. The former Godfather's pizza CEO came in second in the ABC News-Washington Post poll Tuesday, and won the Florida GOP P5 straw poll last month.
"You know what, we'll wait and see what happens when Iowa rolls around," Santorum said. "We've seen just about everybody in the field, a couple have not, who have had an opportunity to get their moment in the sun, and the sun has wilted their campaigns."
Santorum went on to blast Cain's '9-9-9' plan, dismissing the proposals as a tax increase that Americans do not need or want. "The last thing, the last thing a Republican should be for is to give the federal government a new way to get money out of your pocket," Santorum said.
Cain's plan would change the tax code to have a 9 percent business flat tax, a 9 percent personal income flat tax and a 9 percent national sales tax.
Santorum said a national sales tax is a "bad idea" that has been proposed - unsuccessfully - in the past, adding that he would be surprised if Cain's plan got two votes in Congress.
"It's a tax increase. It's a sales tax increase. It gives the federal government now the ability to tax consumption which they have not had in the past," he said. "This is a bad idea."
So Santorum would likely not endorse Cain, but he would support Perry if the Texas governor wins the nomination.
"I can, you know, support Rick Perry, I can support pretty much anybody on that dais," Santorum said.
The presidential hopeful was quick to add, however, that he does not believe Perry is the best choice.
"I think I am the best candidate," he said. "I have the best record and the best plan and a good track record of showing that we can execute those plans and actually get elected in tough states."

A website that aims to record the stories and anecdotes from the history of photojournalism has been launched by Graham Harrison, a former photographer for Vogue and the Telegraph magazine. He explains "Photo Histories will document how some of the world's most important photographers achieved what they did, and ask them what they predict for the future of our medium... It will also tell some of the great stories told by photographers that until now had been confined to darkrooms, bars and pubs." (Via EPUK)

Kristen FoeryMarch 1999 |
March has always been, at best, an ambivalent month for me.
In these weeks of February (it is February as I write this, yes indeed... cursed deadlines) life has become a lot more complicated. I'm writing this on the 6th. Late for me, but life's been crazy. I was recently promoted to the manager of the email list for gay teens that I work for. Last week my ragtag mutt died. Two days later, and causing a lot more grief, was the passing of my grandmother. So now my household is going about the business of death and mourning. I don't like it. Her funeral's on Monday, and I'm reading the 23rd Psalm, along with my brother. So that's been my month so far.
There will be bright notes soon. A class trip to Florida; Dana's and my anniversary of being engaged.
It's funny, how time seems to have practically ceased to have meaning to me. In a matter of months my Junior year will be over, and I will be 17. College, career, marriage... I don't remember growing older.
I was just reading over the preceding paragraphs and wondering if this column was going to reach a point. So now I'm going to talk about gay stuff.
In response to my February column, I received a letter from a reader in his mid-thirties (I think) who wrote that when he was younger, he wasn't comfortable enough with himself to come out at a young age. <waves to Kevin>. When thinking about this, I talked to my surrogate mom, Penny, the ultra neato spiff worker at Lambda Rising in Reho, who I turn to for advice at large because I don't talk to my mom much. Sometimes we talk about the difference between the generations. (To all the teenage readers: you think *we* have it tough? Hooboy.) I was very kindly told that it would have been suicidal for her to come out when she was a kid.
Perhaps I should have clarified last month. The kind of 'bury your head in the sand' thinking is dangerous... today. I happen to think that the gay rights revolution is the next great civil revolution. And I think that the coming out of queers everywhere is necessary to speed this up.
Don't get me wrong. Coming out won't change the world. Well... the world at large. But armies can be formed one at a time...
Topic change! (Yeah, yeah, I'm not feeling coherent.)
I'm in a production of Fiddler on the Roof. I'm Avrahm, the bookseller. (Meaning that I'm playing a man. What can I say, I sing tenor...) It's difficult, to say the least. One day when one of the directors was yelling at me to act more masculine, I heard one of the cast members say that 'she shouldn't have a problem with that'. I swear, I almost bitch-slapped her. Instead, I made a few comments about genderfucking to my best friend in her earshot. Ah, subtlety.
The cast of Fiddler is quite interesting. About 4/5 of the GSA is in some way involved in it. I find that hilarious, if only because only the members of the GSA know it, and if the rest of the company knew some of them would probably fall over and die. My school's theatre program is known for having some *extreme* right wing conservatives in it. (Yeah, like Jesus would support Pat Buchanan...) The funny thing is that despite ourselves, we get along. The girl who told me once that she though I was an abomination now jokes with me on a regular basis.
Which brings me back to coming out and changing the world. Things happen slowly, but they do happen.
I hope this makes sense to someone, because it doesn't to me.

This study investigated whether sprint triathlon performance can be adequately predicted from laboratory tests. Ten triathletes [mean (SEM), age 21.8 (0.3) years, height 179 (2) cm, body mass 67.5 (2.5) kg] performed two graded maximal exercise test in random order, either on their own bicycle which was mounted on an ergometer or on a treadmill, to determine their peak oxygen consumption (V̇O2peak). Furthermore, they participated in two to three 30-min constant-load tests in both swimming, cycling and running to establish their maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) in each exercise mode. Swim tests were performed in a 25-m swimming pool (water temperature 27°C). During each test heart rate (HR), power output (PO) or running/swimming speed and blood lactate concentration (BLC) were recorded at regular intervals. Oxygen uptake (V̇O2) was continuously measured during the graded tests. Two weeks after the laboratory tests all subjects competed in a triathlon race (500 m swim, 20-km bike, 5-km run) [1 h 4 min 45 s (1 min 38 s)]. Peak HR was 7 beats·min−1 lower in the graded cycle test than in the treadmill test (p<0.05) at similar peak BLC (~10 mmol·l−1) and V̇O2peak (~5 L·min−1). High correlations were found between V̇O2peak during cycling (r=−0.71, p<0.05) or running (r=−0.69, p<0.05) and triathlon performance. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that running speed and swimming speed at MLSS, together with BLC in running at MLSS, yielded the best prediction of performance [1 h 5 min 18 s (1 min 49 s)]. Thus, our data indicate that exercise tests aimed to determine MLSS in running and swimming allow for a precise estimation of sprint triathlon performance.

Residential Construction Trends in America's Metropolitan Regions
Across the United States, many neighborhoods are experiencing dramatic transformations. Parking lots, underused commercial properties, and former industrial sites are being replaced by condominiums, apartments, townhouses, and small-lot single-family homes. These examples of residential infillbuilding new homes in previously developed areascan help to create new housing choices, make neighborhoods livelier, increase the tax base, protect rural landscapes, reduce infrastructure costs, and conserve natural resources. Infill can also provide significant environmental benefits when compared with conventional suburban development. Developing more compactly in a location surrounded by existing development means that residents can drive less if they choose, reducing air pollution, and that less paved surface is needed for roads and parking lots, reducing the amount of polluted stormwater runoff flowing into waterways (see Environmental Benefits of Smart Growth for more information).
While examples of successful infill housing projects abound, big questions still remain: Do such examples add up to a fundamental shift in the geography of residential construction? Is infill housing construction on the rise? In which metropolitan regions is the shift to infill most significant? EPA explored these questions in a series of reports released in 2009, 2010, and 2012.
2012 Report
Learn about the webinar, Urban Growth Trends in U.S. Metropolitan Regions: A Tale of Two Studies, held on April 5, 2013.
Residential Construction Trends in America's Metropolitan Regions: 2012 Edition (PDF) (42 pp, 4.5MB, About PDF) compares the location of new homes to data about pre-existing land cover to determine where infill development was taking place in 209 U.S. metropolitan regions between 2000 and 2009. The findings affirm the overall conclusions of the previous two reports while painting a more geographically detailed picture of infill development trends.
The report finds that:
- Nearly three out of four large metropolitan regions saw an increased share of infill housing development in 2005-2009 compared to 2000-2004. The report examined 51 large metropolitan regions (population 1 million or greater). Of those, 36 saw an increased share of infill housing development during 2005-2009 compared to 2000-2004. In many regions, this increase was dramatic. For example, Miami increased from 40 percent to 49 percent infill, and Providence, Rhode Island, increased from 20 percent to 29 percent.
- Infill accounted for one-fifth of new housing construction. In the 209 metropolitan regions examined in this study, 21 percent of all new homes were built in previously developed areas. Northeastern metropolitan regions had the most infill construction, with 32 percent of all new housing units built in previously developed areas. In the South, infill accounted for 16 percent of new home construction.
- Infill residential development varied widely among metropolitan regions. Eight out of 10 new homes in San Jose, California, were infill. New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco all saw a majority of new home construction in previously developed areas during the same period. However, infill accounted for only 7 percent of new housing construction in Austin, Texas. In medium-sized regions, such as Prescott, Arizona, infill's share was as low as 2 percent.
- Infill is associated with higher home prices and rail transit investment. Metropolitan regions that had a larger share of infill housing development tended to have higher median home sales prices, more miles of rail transit per capita, and higher transit ridership per capita.
- Nearly all metropolitan regions are growing outward more than they are growing inward. During the later period of this analysis (2005 - 2009), infill as a share of new home construction exceeded 50 percent in only four metropolitan regions. The other 205 metropolitan regions were still growing outward faster than they were growing inward when measured on a per housing unit basis.
The map shows how infill as a percentage of all housing construction varies among U.S. metropolitan regions.
The report includes a listing of resources available to local, regional, and state leaders who want to coordinate land use, housing, and transportation policies to more effectively support infill housing development.

2009 and 2010 Reports
The 2009 and 2010 editions of this report examined residential building permits in the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan regions at the county or jurisdictional level. The 2009 report, Residential Construction Trends in America's Metropolitan Regions 2009 (PDF) (33 pp, 664K, About PDF), examined data from 1990 to 2007. EPA expanded the data set to include 2008 data for a 2010 update of the report, Residential Construction Trends in America's Metropolitan Regions 2010 (PDF) (32 pp, 654K, About PDF). This analysis was intended to clarify:
- Whether there has been a shift toward redevelopment.
- Which regions have seen the most significant change.
Both reports indicated that the distribution of residential construction changed significantly in many regions. In more than half of the largest metropolitan areas, the share of new residential building permits that were in urban neighborhoods had dramatically increased.
- In 15 regions, urban neighborhoods had more than doubled their share.
- The increase was particularly dramatic from 2002 to 2008, showing that the trend of increasing development in urban neighborhoods continued in the wake of the real estate market downturn.
In many regions, however, a large portion of new residential construction was still taking place on previously undeveloped land on the urban fringe.
The 2010 report showed that:
- Redevelopment in urban neighborhoods added up to more than half of new residential construction in only one metropolitan region: New York.
- In eight regions, redevelopment in urban neighborhoods accounted for one-quarter to one-half of new construction:
- Chicago.
- Dallas.
- Los Angeles.
- Miami.
- Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Va.
- Portland, Ore.
- San Diego.
- San Francisco.
- In 18 regions, redevelopment in urban neighborhoods significantly increased but accounted for less than one-quarter of new residential units.
- In six regions, there was very little change in urban neighborhoods' share of new residential construction.

Vinegar as a Plant Killer
Name: Kristin E. Status: other Age: 60s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 8/26/2004
I have learned that I can kill weeds with vinegar. Does the vinegar act as a systemic or does it make the soil so inhospitable to plants that nothing will grow? Vinegar can reduce the pH of soil sufficiently that many plants will not thrive.
Vince Calder
Apparently the acidic content in the vinegar burns the plants. Although will acidify the surrounding soil somewhat, vinegar is a weak acid, so the soil is expected to return to its normal pH after a few days or so. The following should be helpful:
Anthony Brach Ph.D.
Dear Kristin,
You are correct, the vinegar will make the soil inhospitable to plants. The low pH of the vinegar will disturb the ability of the plant roots to draw up water and the mineral nutrients needed to survive.

Shocking! Sufi shrine suicide bombers from North Waziristan
The Associated Press reports on one of the two failed suicide bombers involved in yesterday's attack on a Sufi shrine in Dera Ghazi Khan that killed more than 40 Pakistanis. The brainwashed teenage would-be suicide bomber is "unrepentant," according to the AP:
His accomplices brought carnage to a Sufi shrine, but the 14-year-old suicide bomber who was captured after his explosives failed to detonate was unrepentant."Let me go, I want to be a martyr," he said as he was being led away, according to police officer Khalid Mahmood. "I want to send all you policemen to hell!"
The boy, identified as Fida Hussain, was arrested at the shrine in central Pakistan shortly after Sunday's twin suicide blasts, which killed 42 people and wounded 100 others . The complex close to Dera Ghazi Khan in central Pakistan was crowded with thousands of people attending an annual festival.
And here's the shocking part:
Mahmood [a Pakistani police officer] said both boys were apparently from North Waziristan, one of seven tribally administered areas close to Afghanistan.
And that earns this story the coveted Captain Louis Renault award. Because who would believe that North Waziristan is a jihad factory?
The Pakistani military and intelligence services have fought tooth and nail against carrying out an operation in North Waziristan, claiming their forces are already overstretched. The US has, in vain, made the case that North Waziristan is the epicenter of al Qaeda's external operations network as well as attacks against Afghan and NATO forces in Afghanistan (this is only partially true, al Qaeda and allied groups are entrenched in other areas of Pakistan as well). Yet many of the suicide attacks inside Pakistan emanate from North Waziristan. And the Pakistani government and military still won't act in North Waziristan to protect Pakistan's own citizens. Given that the Pakistani military and intelligence services still cling to the notion of good Taliban and good jihadis, this is also shocking.
READER COMMENTS: "Shocking! Sufi shrine suicide bombers from North Waziristan"
Posted by Charu at April 4, 2011 5:04 PM ET:
He is just a child! Why isn't there a huge outcry in the Muslim world over this terrible outrage? If Muslims in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India and Indonesia marched in protest to denounce the use of children as suicide bombers, the cowardly evil jihadists in Waziristan who sent this child to fight their battles would surely take notice.
This is a war for the heart and mind of Muslims, and if the majority of Muslims worldwide expended a fraction of the energy they spend on protesting trivialities like the burning of Korans or cartoons of Mohamed, then the jihadists would lose. Their silence over the inhuman act of using children to kill, and other similar acts of barbarism carried out in the name of Islam, only emboldens the jihadists.
Posted by jayc at April 4, 2011 7:26 PM ET:
Bill, I really enjoy the Capitan Renault awards you publish, and never hesitate to play the movie cut just to get a chuckle.
Might I suggest the next award recipient, even if it is of a traitor? I propose none other than Adam Gadahn, alias Assam Al-Amriki, who very tongue-in-cheek stated, "Muslims don't kill other Muslims!"
Posted by Spooky at April 4, 2011 10:00 PM ET:
Well you have to remember, they don't SEE the Shia as Muslims. Thus, in their minds, they're technically correct. Such is the insane logic of the fundamentalist mind.
Also, there IS outrage, we just don't cover it because its as regular as partisan politics is in the US. Bahrain, for example, is an example of protest against such ill treatment. Part of the Arab-Persian rivalry is rooted in the constant attacks and counterattacks between the sects.
Indeed, if Iran's Army was ANYWHERE near the standard of Pakistan's, they'd be more vocal in their opposition. But they aren't, cuz unlike the US, Pakistan is at their border and could maul them badly...or support Baloch terrorism.

Nathan McBride leads a secretive life. The ex-CIA agent doesn't give out his phone number and never reveals his operative name. So how does a twelve-year-old girl whom he's never met know both?
The girl's name is Lauren, and after she's been kidnapped, she sends a text for help to Nathan's cell phone. Nathan rescues her, but with the kidnappers hell-bent on reclaiming their prize, the ordeal has only just begun.
As he tries to stay one step ahead of their pursuers, Nathan soon learns that Lauren harbors secrets of her own; she's in the federal witness security program, and her mother made her memorize Nathan's phone number in the event of an emergency. Does Lauren hold a key piece of information that her kidnappers desperately need? Or is she a pawn in an elaborate setup?
The third book in the Nathan McBride series, Option to Kill is an exhilarating, adrenaline-charged ride.

'Versailles on Paper' exhibition captures palace and gardens of Louis XIV
The exhibition "Versailles on Paper," on view Feb. 13-July 19 in the main gallery of Firestone Library, documents the contemporary representation of Versailles through a multifaceted array of prints, books, maps, medals and manuscripts. It highlights in particular those elements that today survive only on paper, including unusual and surprising glimpses into a largely lost world.

Peter Forest, project developer talks to members of the community from Hempnall and surrounding areas during the second public exhibition held by TCI Renewables explaining the details of a proposed wind farm near the village. Photograph Simon Parker
Wednesday, September 19, 2012
A renewable energy developer last night said that village opposition would not stop an application for wind turbines on the edge of Hempnall following the opening of a public consultation.
A long-running saga over a wind farm development in the south Norfolk village entered a new chapter when TCI Renewables displayed its plans for four 126m-high turbines off Bussey's Loke.
Officials from the Oxfordshire-based firm said they had taken on board residents views at an exhibition last year and reduced the height of the proposed masts.
However, members of SHOWT (Stop Hempnall's Onshore Wind Turbines) said they were preparing to fight the scheme, which they say will have a "disastrous" impact on the landscape and local listed buildings.
Plans were first submitted for a seven turbine development off Bussey's Loke by Enertrag UK more than six years ago, which was rejected by South Norfolk councillors and by an inspector on appeal.
The new proposals at the site, known as Streetwood Wind Farm, would provide enough renewable energy for 5,200 homes and would boost community coffers by £400,000 over the 25 years of the project, claims TCI Renewables.
Peter Forest, project developer, said TCI aimed to submit a planning application to South Norfolk Council by Christmas.
He added that it did not matter if the majority of villagers opposed the scheme because there was support across the UK for onshore wind.
"If we are going to have cheap electricity, we are going to need onshore wind farms," he said.
Hilary Battye, spokesman for SHOWT said: "We do not want a prolonged fight with TCI, but we are fully prepared for it.
"The impact on the Grade I listed church and cultural heritage will be very strong."
Michael Windridge, South Norfolk councillor for Hempnall, added: "TCI's plans for a wind turbine development outside Hempnall represents a big money project for wealthy landowners and rich investors, which will desecrate the beautiful south Norfolk landscape

Another wind energy telling pork pies - who would have beleived it? Makes a mockery of localism. Surely, it can't be all about money and not the environment or our energy security, surely........?
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
TCI Renewables. Bring it on. EDP, the TCI scheme for tonight is NOT new. It is identical using 4 turbines to that which we shot down in the TCI public exhibition in January 2012. TCI greed appears to make TCI gluttons for punishment. TCI, are you hoping that with the Mill Centre as venue, with sparse local parking, that we will not come and pull your scheme apart? For your "new" stochastic, intermittent, unreliable and erratic wind power station scheme to work for "5,200" homes, you need a Load Factor of 36-38%. DECC Restats 'EAST', 1998-2010 average of 24.8% with 2010 being 20.93% alone. You will be lucky if it supplies a range 2,780-3,512 homes-I've used DECC published statistical data. Then the claim of saving 9,900 tonnes of CO2 [which is not carbon]. With the generation calculation for the homes, you would be lucky to save in the range 3,960-7,841 tonnes! You used 4.700MWh per home, I used DECC South Norfolk average 4.954MWh. And just to make the point of your supposedly 'using sound science responsibly', it is NOT renewable energy as it enforces 24-365 fossil fuel backup which criminally wastes fossil fuels, fuels which future generations may need for their own needs.

I'm working abroad at present so can't attend, fortunately for TCI, that's for sure. I know there will be massive opposition to this proposal, as there should be, I'm only glad of one thing.....I don't work for TCI and I won't be working at their doomed presentation this evening!!! I feel really sorry for the people of Hempnall, after years of hassle with the inept Enertag, they now face years of hassle with this bunch. The landowner must be getting short of friends, he or she certainly won't need to clear the fireplace for the xmas cards this year!

OBJECTIVE: To quantify developmental abnormalities in cerebral and cerebellar volume in autism. METHODS: The authors studied 60 autistic and 52 normal boys (age, 2 to 16 years) using MRI. Thirty autistic boys were diagnosed and scanned when 5 years or older. The other 30 were scanned when 2 through 4 years of age and then diagnosed with autism at least 2.5 years later, at an age when the diagnosis of autism is more reliable. RESULTS: Neonatal head circumferences from clinical records were available for 14 of 15 autistic 2- to 5-year-olds and, on average, were normal (35.1 +/- 1.3 cm versus clinical norms: 34.6 +/- 1.6 cm), indicative of normal overall brain volume at birth; one measure was above the 95th percentile. By ages 2 to 4 years, 90% of autistic boys had a brain volume larger than normal average, and 37% met criteria for developmental macrencephaly. Autistic 2- to 3-year-olds had more cerebral (18%) and cerebellar (39%) white matter, and more cerebral cortical gray matter (12%) than normal, whereas older autistic children and adolescents did not have such enlarged gray and white matter volumes. In the cerebellum, autistic boys had less gray matter, smaller ratio of gray to white matter, and smaller vermis lobules VI-VII than normal controls. CONCLUSIONS: Abnormal regulation of brain growth in autism results in early overgrowth followed by abnormally slowed growth. Hyperplasia was present in cerebral gray matter and cerebral and cerebellar white matter in early life in patients with autism.
