Change the Rules of the Game
Companies and investors need clear policies that reward sustainability performance. our capital market structures are biased towards short-term financial performance. The lack of carbon-reducing regulations in the U.S. for example has allowed companies to emit greenhouse gases at no cost, thus rewarding big emitters and penalizing more efficient businesses. Far greater sustainability gains can be achieved if smart policies are adopted that send clear market signals encouraging clean solutions with a long-term perspective.
Ceres will advocate for more sustainable policies in the U.S. and around the world as well as build investor and business support for policies and regulations that reduce sustainability risks and protect long-term interests.
How We Will Get There:
- Build business leader support for national and global climate and energy policies.
- Gain passage of a new international climate treaty, including a binding reduction target based on the latest scientific findings by the internationally-recognized IPCC.
- Eliminate tax incentives and government subsidies for fossil fuel technologies and carbon-intensive projects.
- Gain passage of energy efficiency policies to double the historic rate of efficiency improvements and national renewable policies so that at least 20 percent of the nation's electricity comes from renewable power by 2020 and 30 percent by 2030.
- Gain passage of national climate change legislation to achieve a reduction in GHG emissions of at least 25 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050.

On In Depth with Francis Rose, he said the OCO budget plans are just a political compromise and don't address the real issues confronting defense spending reform.

The Saints and LSU are about to start heading in opposite directions.
Saints fans are quickly falling into two trains of thought. One group thinks while the Saints aren't looking very good the magic of 2009 will eventually return and 2010 will be 2009 all over again complete with 45 point beat downs, victory parades, and maybe even Garrett Hartley kicking a field goal or two. The other group accepts the 2010 Saints for what they are; a flawed team depleted at running back and average at best on defense. They'll struggle almost every week to win ball games.
I think whatever you want to call what LSU did Saturday was best described by my friend Christian. He just smiled, shook his head and said, 'LSU at the end of games is just lost.'
I want to say Les Miles is the worst clock management coach in football history but sometimes I'm not even sure Miles realizes football is a timed sport. LSU manages the game clock like a fish flopping around on the ground. Confused, disoriented, and waiting for everything to fade to black.
The Saints are going through their annual turnover binge on offense but there are two reasons when everything is said and done they'll be right in the mix to win the NFC while LSU will likely be in the Peach Bowl again. The Saints have Drew Brees and Sean Payton. LSU has Les Miles, Gary Crowton, Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee.
The Saints are elite at quarterback and head coach. LSU fans would get on their knees in thanks for a C+ quarterback. By the way Les Miles, shame on you for not getting LSU to create a graduate program out of thin air so Jared Masoli could enroll at LSU. Ole Miss made up a graduate program that didn't exist until Masoli needed somewhere to play QB. Suddenly Ole Miss has an elite QB. Why couldn't LSU do that? We're Louisiana where laws are meant to be bent, folded, and twisted especially when the Tigers need a quarterback. Our politicians and educators have failed us yet again. If the Tigers had Masoli they would be a Top 5 team.
LSU fans have every right to be in full scale freak out mode. They still have Florida, Auburn, and Alabama to play and have no quarterback and an offense that has no idea what it wants to do every week. Hint; run Stevan Ridley and Russell Shepard in some form of the wildcat every play. LSU has created a hot plate of garbage from five star ingredients. The difference between the Saints and LSU at quarterback is the distance between New York and Los Angeles.
In comparison the Saints are sitting pretty. The Saints offense is struggling but I'd argue yesterday actually for the first time all year looked like themselves. The Saints had 383 yards of offense, 38 minutes of possession, and 121 yards rushing. The Saints every year under Sean Payton have a stretch where they turnover the ball in bunches. They apparently scheduled it early this year. Payton gets it corrected he always does.
If the difference between LSU and the Saints quarterback play is a continent then the difference between Miles and Payton is what Earth to Mars?
Did you notice the great coaching move Payton made yesterday? Saints trailed 14-10 at end of third quarter and face a fourth and one from the Carolina 9-yard line. Crowd is urging Payton to go for it. Payton always goes for it. He always seems to coach aggressive except this time he didn't and out went John Carney for the field goal. Payton understood field goals were good enough to win yesterday. He didn't need touchdowns. Payton always seems in complete control and has an understanding of how the game is going. Fans might not always agree with what he does but in five years not once have we ever said, 'Payton looks completely and totally unprepared, clueless and I want to punch him in the face.'
I yell that at Les Miles three times a week and I'm a huge Les Miles fan.
I said it Friday and I'll say it again, 'The Saints aren't nearly as good as they were in 2009 but they won't have to be to get back to the Super Bowl.' The NFC is pathetic and the Saints have Brees and Payton which this year is plenty.
LSU isn't so lucky.

Canceled! Airlines Scrap Record Number of Flights
The relentless snow and ice storms this winter have led to the highest number of flight cancellations in more than 25 years, according to an analysis.
The relentless snow and ice storms this winter have led to the highest number of flight cancellations in more than 25 years, according to an analysis.
Some lucky fliers capitalized on a computer glitch Thursday and scored some really cheap flights on Delta Air Lines.
As federal regulators consider removing a decades-old prohibition on making phone calls on planes, a majority of Americans who fly oppose such a change, a poll shows.
In just five years, 24 of the top 30 U.S. airports will experience passenger levels equal to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving at least one day in an average a week.
Here's a quick rundown from the world of business and economics this morning: the things you need to know, and some you'll just want to know.
Government safety rules are changing to let airline passengers use most electronic devices from gate-to-gate.
A survey finds that a surprising percentage of frequent flyers have tipped flight attendants, but offering a gratuity at 30,000 feet isn't always a good idea.
Baggage fees turn 5 this month. We look back on how these annoying fees have changed the air travel industry, for better and for worse.
Investigators are examining the source of a fire on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner at London's Heathrow airport, the latest setback to beset the high-tech aircraft.
A government review finds that the merger of American Airlines and US Airways would reduce competition on more than 1,600 routes traveled by more than 53 million passengers.
United Airlines once again ranked dead-last in customer satisfaction. A recent picture depicting an unfortunate situation in an airplane lavatory gives us some idea why.
The major surveys on air travelers' customer satisfaction are out, and even in a business known for delays, bad food and uncomfortable seats, U.S. carriers performed horribly.
Virgin America said it's close to turning around its financial losses and could be ready for an initial public offering as early as next year.
Congress has easily approved legislation ending furloughs of air traffic controllers that have delayed hundreds of flights daily.
The Senate moved quickly late on Thursday to end air traffic controller furloughs that were causing widespread airline flight delays related to federal spending cuts.
United Continental Holdings posted a smaller quarterly loss on Thursday, as the world's largest carrier was helped somewhat by lower fuel prices and higher passenger revenue.
Higher fares are helping Southwest Airlines make more money than Wall Street expected, but the company says automatic federal spending cuts could hurt revenue in April.
US Airways posted a bigger adjusted first-quarter profit as it carried more passengers, and collected more from them.
Delta Air Lines reports its first-quarter profit fell, as costs related to salaries rose.
Travelers waited more than an hour for flights in New York and experienced delays at other U.S. airports on Sunday evening as furloughs of air traffic controllers began.
The FAA has reportedly accepted Boeing's revamped battery system for its beleaguered 787 Dreamliners and agreed to lift its grounding order.
Boeing's grounded 787 jetliners could soon be flying again, published reports say.
The public should expect flight delays as furloughs kick in Sunday for air traffic controllers, although effects may be felt unevenly from airport to airport, the FAA says.
A day after American Airlines canceled 970 flights and delayed more than 1,000, the bankrupt airline is promising to run a near-normal operation Wednesday.
Airline passenger complaints to the federal government surged by a fifth last year, even as some measures -- including on-time arrivals -- improved, according to a new report.
An airline in Samoa is charging heavier passengers higher airfares, and making them weigh in at the airport. Could such a system ever take off with U.S. airlines?
Ryanair has made the biggest-ever order of Boeing planes by a European airline, announcing Tuesday it will buy 175 aircraft in a major boost for the U.S. aerospace giant.
Boeing expects to finish testing its battery fix for the 787 within the next week or two, but says it's up to the regulators to decide when the planes fly again.
Now that the merger between American Airlines and US Airways is officially happening, travelers are sure to wonder how it will affect them. George Horbica, founder of Airfarewatchdog, tells us what to expect from the world's soon-to-be biggest airline.
As the Northeast braces for Winter Storm Nemo, airlines are already employing a strategy that has served them well: Cancel flights early and keep planes, crews and passengers away from snowed-in airports. Here's what else the airlines are doing.

According to Jim Cerny, Vinny Prospal has been named alternate captain, joining Ryan Callahan and Chris Drury as the designated leaders of the team. Prospal has most definitely earned it. He has been productive, and by all accounts, an incredible leader. Good for Vinny.
A fine (and not to be understimated, safe) choice.
He's led in every way so far, unlike Callahan he's a veteran and cant possibly be doubted based on his past achievements.
I think we'll get an 80pt yr off Vinny. im hoping he'll re-up for another yr at a sensible rate and help the development of the kids.

Waiting for Tonight
Is it time for us to feel sorry for Jennifer Lopez yet? If youve been following her career -- avidly or reluctantly youve likely experienced the Five Stages of J.Lo. Stage one: We loved her as the scrappy Fly Girl on In Living Color. The film Selena sealed the deal; Jennifer Lopez was gonna be a movie star. And we were cool with that.
Stage two, rapt attention: Lopez dropped her album On the 6, and suddenly she was all over MTV. If You Had My Love and Waiting for Tonight were huge hits, and she was collaborating with Big Pun, which gave her just a whiff of street cred. Stage three, overexposure: All of a sudden J.Lo was everywhere. She wore that scandalous green dress to the Grammys in 2000, and then she got caught up in that gunplay drama. We blame Diddy. Stage four, disgust: Ugh, Bennifer. J.Lo was building a reputation as a demanding diva, and Jenny from the Block had her every move picked apart in the tabloids. And then there was the film Gigli. Who knew schadenfreude tasted like candy? Weve finally landed at stage five, we pity the fool: Sure, it might sound odd to feel a pang of sadness for an insanely wealthy singer/actress/fashion designer, but hear us out. Nobody went to see her last movie, El Cantante, which costarred her husband, Skeletor -- um, Marc Anthony. Her latest album, Brave, didnt even crack Billboards Top 10. Everyone is saying her career has jumped the shark. And just last week, her grandma died. How can we be mean to her now? J.Lo and Marc Anthony will bring their romantic song-and-dance act to the American Airlines Arena, for three crazy nights.

La Serena Brunello Di Montalcino Gemini Riserva 2007
La Serena - Tuscany - Italy - Brunello Di Montalcino
Professional Wine Reviews for La Serena Brunello Di Montalcino Gemini Riserva 2007
Rated 93 by Robert Parker
Mocha, espresso, tobacco, dried flowers, cloves and plums are some of the many notes that emerge from the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gemini. Dark and voluptuous, the Gemini is one of the bigger, richer Brunellos of the year. All the elements are very much in harmony in a wine that impresses for its pure texture and expansiveness. The large-scaled, dramatic style is immensely appealing. In 2007, the Gemini delivers the goods. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2025.

Vintage: 2007
2007 was the year that saw California's wine industry pick up once again, after a troubling couple of years. Indeed, all across the state of California, fantastic harvests were reported as a result of fine weather conditions throughout the flowering and ripening periods, and Napa Valley and Santa Barbera wines were widely considered amongst the best in the world in 2007, with Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes packing in all sorts of fine and desirable features in this year. South Africa, too, had a much-needed fantastic year for red wines, with Pinotage particularly displaying strong characteristics, alongside the country's other flagship red wine grape varietals. Over in Europe, France had another fine year, especially for white wines. Champagne wineries were very happy with their Chardonnay harvests, and the Loire Valley and Graves in Bordeaux are proclaiming 2007 to be a memorable year due to the quality of their white wine grapes. For French red wines, Provence had their best year for almost a decade, as did the Southern Rhone. However, 2007 was most favorable to Italy, who saw high yields of exceptional quality across almost all of their major wine producing regions. Tuscany is claiming to have produced its best Chianti and Brunello wines for several years in 2007, and Piedmont and Veneto had a wonderful year for red wines. For Italian white wines, 2007 was an extremely successful year for Alto Adige and Campania. Germany also had a very good 2007, with Riesling displaying extremely dry and crisp characteristics, as did Portugal, where Port wine from 2007 is said to be one to collect.
Varietal: Sangiovese
The name of this grape, meaning 'blood of Jove' conjures up evocative images of long dead civilizations, and gives the Sangiovese varietal a sense of the holy, the sacred, the special. Indeed, this particular type of Italian grape has been cultivated and processed for thousands of years, and is said to be the original favorite grape varietal of the Romans, and the Etruscans before them. Throughout history, vintners have continued to plant this varietal, and they continue to produce wonderful wines to this day. The long bunches of very dark, round fruit are treasured by fine wineries in Italy and a few other places around the world, and when young, these grapes are lively – full of strawberry flavors and a little spiciness. However, it is when they are aged in oak that they take on some truly special flavors and aromas, as seen in some of the finest wines of the Old World.
Region: Tuscany
Tuscany is probably Italy's most important and widely respected wine region, with a history which stretches back almost three thousand years, and a set of fine grape varietals which produce some of the most delicious quality white and red wines in the world. Sangiovese and Vernaccia varietal grapes are grown all over this expansive region, and the way they are handled, aged and processed varies from town to town. The beautiful hot climate of Tuscany helps these grapes reach full ripeness, despite the fact the soil of the region is generally problematic for the vintners who work there. Despite this, there is a dedication to quality and flavor in Tuscany which is more or less unmatched anywhere else in Italy, and a great mix of strong tradition and willingness to experiment and think outside the box which has been a wonderful recipe for success in the region.
Country: Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Henry Huth
- For the rugby union footballer of the 1870s for England, and Huddersfield, see Henry "Harry" Huth
Henry Huth (1815 – 1878) was an English merchant banker and prominent bibliophile.
Early life[edit]
He was the third son of Frederick Huth of Hanover, who settled at Corunna in Spain. Frederick Huth left Spain during the Napoleonic Wars, with his family under convoy of the British squadron, and landed in England in 1809. Here he became a naturalised British subject by act of parliament, and founded in London a banking firm. Henry Huth was born in London. At the age of thirteen he was sent to George Keylock Rusden's school at Leith Hill in Surrey. There, since his father had some idea of putting him in the Indian Civil Service, he learned, in addition to ordinary classics, Persian, Arabic, and Hindustani. In 1833 his father took him into his business.
The drudgery of work in his father's office proved distasteful and he was sent to travel. He first stayed for about two years at Hamburg, occupied at intervals in a business firm: then at Magdeburg for nearly a year. He then made a tour in France for about three months, and in the beginning of 1839 went to the United States, and, after traveling in the south for some time, entered a New York firm as a volunteer. His father, however, arranged that he should join a firm in Mexico in 1840. In 1843 he paid a visit to England, and after marrying in 1844, settled in Hamburg, but rejoined his father's firm in London in 1849.
Book collector[edit]
Huth settled in London and occupied himself in forming his library. He began to call daily on booksellers on his way back from the City of London, a habit which he continued up to the day of his death. He gave commissions at most of the important sales, such as the Utterson, Hawtrey, Gardner, Smith, Slade, Perkins, Tite, and made especially numerous purchases at the Daniel and Corser sales. He confined himself to no particular subject, but bought anything of real interest provided that the book was perfect and in good condition. Imperfect books he called 'the lepers of a library.'
His varied collection was especially rich in voyages, Shakespearean and early English literature, and in early Spanish and German works. The Bibles, without being very numerous, included nearly every edition prized by collectors, and the manuscripts and prints were among the most beautiful of their kind. In 1863 he was elected a member of the Philobiblon Society, and in 1867 printed for presentation to the members a volume of Ancient Ballads and Broadsides from the unique original copies he had bought at the Daniel sale. He allowed Lilly, the bookseller, to reprint the book without the woodcuts.
In 1866 he was elected a member of the Roxburghe Club, but never attended a meeting. He printed, in limited impressions of fifty copies, edited by William Carew Hazlitt, the 'Narrative of the Journey of an Irish Gentleman through England in the year 1752,' in 1869; in 1870 Inedited Poetical Miscellanies, 1584–1700; in 1874 Prefaces, Dedications, and Epistles, selected from Early English Books, 1540-1701; and in 1875 Fugitive Tracts, 1493-1700, 2 vols. In 1861 he caused to be translated into Spanish the first chapter of the second volume of Henry Thomas Buckle's History of Civilisation, for the author, who was one of his friends. About ten years before his death he commenced a catalogue of his library, but, finding that the time at his disposal was inadequate, he employed Hazlitt and F. S. Ellis to do most of the work, only revising the proofs himself. About half of the work was printed when he died suddenly on 10 December 1878. The Catalogue was continued and published in 1880.[1]
For many years he was treasurer and president of the Royal Hospital for Incurables.
Latterly, Huth lived at Bolney in Sussex, in a château-style house called Wykehurst Place designed for him by Edward Middleton Barry and built between 1872 and 1874.[1] Construction cost £35,000, and the building has been described as "surely one of the most unlikely houses anywhere in Sussex". It was used as a base for soldiers during World War II, and has featured in several films.[2] Huth was buried in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalene's Church in the village, to which his son Edward gave a "magnificent" lychgate in 1905.[3]
He married the third daughter of Frederick Westenholz, of Waldenstein Castle in Austria, by whom he had three sons (one of them being the author and bibliophile Alfred Henry Huth) and three daughters.

Clay Walker – "Where Do I Go From You"
Songwriters: Clint Daniels, Don Cook and Ryan Tyndell
Just call Clay Walker the comeback kid.
High on alliteration but low on probability, that title makes Walker the country music equivalent of Betty White. The nineties mainstay made a surprisingly impressive run up the charts in 2009, pushing "She Won't Be Lonely Long," the first single off his similarly titled ninth studio album, all the way into the top five songs on the country charts.
His neotraditional sound fit snugly into the niche reopened by the Zac Brown Band, Chris Young and Easton Corbin, and the song performed higher than any single since 2000's "The Chain of Love." And while that kind of streak up and down radio would make for an erratic line graph, his knack for choosing quality singles that complement his smooth twang and charm has remained constant.
Walker's latest offering "Where Do I Go From You" is no exception, pairing a well-crafted melody with a solid, engaging performance that's both a throwback to the singer's heyday and a worthwhile contribution to contemporary country.
The story is at once vague and uncomfortably specific, the pointed pain of the break-up picking up where a general sketch of a storyline leaves off. Its throwaway opening verses are merely a jumping off point, as the singer revs up for a satisfyingly anguished chorus that pushes Walker's vocals with the same desperation found in the protagonist's loss. The intensity is so palpable that the "woo!" lyrical exhale toward the song's end seems to be a release from both the lovers' loss and the singer's own vocal push.
Walker has always fully embraced the emotions of the characters in the stories he artfully crafts, running the gamut from the masked, casual denial of "Who Needs You Baby" to the playful skepticism of "Rumor Has It." As the mandolin and banjo plug away in the background here, Walker manages to be smug, accusatory and just plain give-out all in the same breath – a complete run-through of the rainbow of emotions following a messy romantic departure.
It's that level of commitment that serves "Where Do I Go From You" best, and continues to buoy Walker onto radio playlists more than 15 years after his debut.

I liked this single pretty well myself, mostly for the arrangement and performance. I like how you point out that it's a bit of a throwback to his 90s heyday while still being a worthwhile contribution to contemporary country today – definitely true.
Pleasant, but not all that exciting. It won't cause people to change the station when it comes on, which I guess is the idea.
Not one of my favorites from this great record (which is actually the first from Clay that I've ever purchased, but it has certainly not been the last). It's not bad at all, but I would have gone with "Like We Never Said Goodbye", "Jesse James", or "All American". All are great yet, in my humble opinion, more than radio- friendly enough. Quite a rariety in these days.
By mid to late 1990's Top 40 standards this would have been just another typical and average Top 20 song. By today's standards this is a definite cut above the typical bombastic Top 40 AirHead Country song working its way up the charts. If Clay can revive that mid-90's sound on mainstream country radio, I'm all for it and more power to him!
I think the fact Clay is a gook looking guy really helps him get back in the door what with all the females listening to country radio nowadays. I'd love to hear some new Daryle Singletary on the radio as well, but he doesn't have the looks to get a Clay Walker style pass. Oh well…
@Rick – Daryle is a great vocalist. Do you have any updates on him and what he is doing?
Waynoe, when he appears on the Opry on occasion is about the only time I hear anything about him. I guess he's always out having too much fun, or getting his ass whooped with a George Jones record! (lol)
PS – Sunny Sweeney will be joining Brad Paisley's water logged tour this year. That's great for Sunny and her Top 40 radio career. Its not so great for Sunny fans like me who don't give a rat's ass about Obamavoter Brad and his tiresome music. Dang…
"By today's standards this is a definite cut above the typical bombastic Top 40 AirHead Country…."
A fine and fair observation , I think . Very solid album here from Clay with honest lyrics and performances and adventurous arrangements which always manage to stay accessible .
Eric: I thought All American was painfully cliché, myself. But this one and Like We Never Said Goodbye just screamed "single" to me. I've liked just about every single Clay's ever put out, and this is no exception.
Maybe the fact that the review is out now means something… could this song catch a second wind? Could more Clint Daniels songs be in the future? (Someone should take A Fool's Progress already.)
I dunno, Rick, he looks pretty red, white and blue-blooded to me. (Yeah, I know that was a typo in your first post, but i couldn't resist.)
This is another good song for him. It is an interesting point that you brought up about "She Won't Be Lonely Long" being the highest single since 2000. I would have thought "Fall" was a higher charting single. I don't think it is as good as the last single, but it should hopefully get some airplay on what we call country radio now days.
@Rick – The Opry was the last I heard him. Man he can sing. Yes he has Jone's influence but it could be worse. There could be a female singer trying to imitate Jennfier Nettles! Ughh.

Aquatic Exercise Training for the Asthmatic PopulationJanuary 18th, 2011
Development of an Aquatic Exercise Training Protocol for the Asthmatic Population Authors: Kasee Hildenbrand, Sara Nordio, Timothy S. Freson, Bruce E. Becker The purpose of this article is to propose creation of a consistent, measureable 12-week aquatic exercise progression for individuals diagnosed with asthma. An aquatic exercise option not requiring swim skills may offer real value, but no previous literature explicitly describes a standardized nonswimming aquatic exercise progression. Participants were [Read the Rest…]

"I have been a loner for most of my life. I have had very few people in my life whom I would consider to be close friends. I am quiet and very shy in my personality. I consider my self to be very unique, and that has at times made me feel like I do not belong. I am closeted and I have never told anyone in real life that I am gay, mainly because I feared that I would be subjected to constant bullying and harassment. This is also a reason behind me having very few friends; I thought they would reject me. I have never known any other gay men, I would like to get to know some so that I can learn from them and understand how different and similar we are. I hope this site will help me improve my confidence and help me become more comfortable with myself so that I can live a satisfying life, and be able to befriend all types of people.
It is hard to put in words, specifically what I am looking for. I really want someone who is kind, considerate, thoughtful, interesting, funny, sweet, sensitive, respectful, and all around a person that I will want to spend time. I am looking for those traits in any person I connect with on a person level. It does not matter if I am just friends with the person or if I am in a romantic relationship with them. I would like anyone I am involved with to have all the traits that I have mentioned. I also want to be able to know that our relationships are strong enough to withstand any kind of conflict and that no matter what there is unconditional support and forgiveness."
Since I'm not gay, not really. But it might be someone I'd value as a friend.
Andy, the best advice I can offer is to be honest. Be yourself, whoever that may be. Dating sites can work but you may find that your best bet is to meet people in person and be open to friendships. Meeting people on common ground is sometimes easier than trying to meet strangers. Take college classes, join Toastmasters, do volunteer work for a group you believe in (homeless shelters, abandoned animals, teens at risk or whatever); the first step is always the hardest.
P.S. If you don't already know it, you might look into www.pflag.org; maybe there's a way they can help you meet other gay men in your area that you can become friends with. Good luck.
Andy I hate to break it you but even though you never officially "came out", most of those around you probably either knew it already or had strong suspicions.
Just from reading your questions I can tell you are very scared of rejection and have very low self esteem. I hope your therapist is competent enough to be working on those things with you, as well as their underlying cause(s). Don't be so hard on yourself. And don't worry so much.

Welcome to NMAP
A Climate Debate Imbalance?
The HBO comedy show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver made a mockery of media false balance in its climate science coverage. Oliver was also interviewed on the science podcast Inquiring Minds, and host Chris Mooney noted:
"I feel like they said in 4 minutes something I've been saying for 10 years with like tens or hundreds of thousands of words; what they said was that there's no debate over global warming, so to have these 'balanced' 1-on-1 TV debates is just preposterous."
Citing the 97% expert consensus result from a paper published
last year, John Oliver illustrated what a statistically representative
climate change debate would look like, and to great comic effect. (from the Guardian)
Project Announcements
NEW: Results of the NMAP Survey of Canadian Local Governments are now available. Click here to see the fact sheets for all Canadian regions.
Research of note
The report "Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability; April 2014", by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes that ice caps are melting, sea ice in the Arctic is collapsing, water supplies are .under stress, heat waves and heavy rains are intensifying, coral reefs are dying, and many fish and other creatures are migrating toward the poles, or in some cases going extinct.
Some of the most extreme predictions of global warming are unlikely to materialize, new scientific research published in Nature Geoscience has suggested, but the world is still likely to be in for a temperature rise of double that regarded as safe. That would still lead to catastrophe across large swaths of the Earth. Click here to see the Guardian article.
The MC3 project has published a set of best practice case studies in community and local government actions for climate change.Click here to visit the MC3 website.
CO2 emissions rises mean dangerous climate change now almost certain. Research by the Global Carbon Project says emissions growth placing world on path to warm between 4 and 6C.
Our Work
Climate change has become the chief global environmental issue. The climate change discussion has grown from accepting the science and thinking about attenuation to acknowledging that we now have to adapt and plan for environmental change. We need to adapt to new and changing conditions.
The adaptation imperative requires new and novel approaches to planning and infrastructure development and it requires leadership and innovation in governance. Local governments are often most responsible for infrastructure and land use planning and will play a central role in shaping the response to adaptation.
In Canada leadership on adaptation issues is increasingly coming from local governments.
There is a growing acknowledgement that adaptation and resiliency strategies developed and implemented at the local level are essential for supporting sustainable infrastructure, adaptive land use planning, and the continued provision of the broad range of services that local governments supply.
Canadian local governments are on the frontline of the adaptation and resiliency imperative, but are they planning for change? There is a need for research that not only provides an image of what local governments are doing, but also identifies requirements, options and planning strategies. NMAP works to help address these gaps.
The need is for research that not only provides an image of the present situation, but also identifies the requirements of local governments, planning options and policy strategies. The National Municipal Adaptation Project works to develop research that does this.
The need for planning
Our view of planning is comprehensive – we see it as the core activity in local decision-making about how to best provide and support the physical systems that support community economic, social and environmental public services. We also see it as a strategic activity that is ideally inclusive, proactive and interdisciplinary.
NMAP is working to assess the state of planning for adaptation and resiliency in Canadian local governments, develop case studies, and generate applied knowledge for advancing community adaptation planning. In Canada there are a range of organizations and government agencies that are addressing different aspects of adaptation and developing examples and guidelines. Our approach is to develop a comprehensive image of the state of planning and the needs of local governments.
Learning about climate change
The New York Times has posted a series of articles about climate change. The series, titled 'Temperature Rising', may be accessed by clicking here.

The rapid transition from a society of individual fishermen and hunters to an economy supported by corporate mining raises difficult questions. How would Greenland's insular settlements tolerate an influx of thousands of Polish or Chinese construction workers, as has been proposed? Will mining despoil a natural environment essential to Greenland's national identity — the whales and seals, the silent icy fjords, and mythic polar bears? Can fishermen reinvent themselves as miners? Click here to see the slide presentation from the New York Times.

ARE WE MISSING THE BIG PICTURE on climate change? Stories
about smaller environmental problems can distract us from the
slow-motion calamity that will eventually threaten every living being. From the New York Times, click here to read the essay.
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, Montana — What will it be called once the glaciers are gone? A century ago, this sweep of mountains on the Canadian border boasted some 150 ice sheets, many of them scores of feet thick, plastered across summits and tucked into rocky fissures high above parabolic valleys. Today, perhaps 25 survive.
In 30 years, there may be none.
A warming climate is melting Glacier's glaciers, an icy retreat that promises to change not just tourists' vistas, but also the mountains and everything around them. From the NYT.
For all the pronouncements about the United States and China reaching a historic climate pact, the agreement they announced Wednesday does not signal a seismic shift in policies by either nation, experts said.
FallTHE UNITED STATES AND CHINA should both be able to meet the stated goals by aggressively pursuing policies that are largely in place, analysts said. From the NYT. see also...
The US-China deal on carbon emissions received a broadly positive response in China in the media and from experts.
While the Chinese press mostly carried news stories about the deal and not much analysis in comparison to the western press, it was was welcoming of a deal some described as "historic". From the Guardian.
A NEW STUDY has appeared which describes a clever method for measuring the flows of
ocean currents and their impacts on ice shelves. This study has
identified a major mechanism for melting ice in the Southern Hemisphere. From the Guardian.
THE COLLAPSE OF LARGE PARTS of the ice sheet in West Antarctica appears to have begun and is almost certainly unstoppable, with global warming accelerating the pace of the disintegration, two groups of scientists have reported. The finding, which had been feared by some scientists for decades, means that a rise in global sea level of at least 10 feet may now be inevitable. The rise may continue to be relatively slow for at least the next century or so, the scientists said, but sometime after that it will probably speed up so sharply as to become a crisis.
"This is really happening," said Thomas P. Wagner, who runs NASA's programs on polar ice and helped oversee some of the research. "There's nothing to stop it now. But you are still limited by the physics of how fast the ice can flow." From the NYT.
Arguments that the climate is relatively insensitive to the increased
greenhouse effect have become the last best chance for climate
change contrarians, but a new study from Texas A&M University hammers a big nail in the coffin of that argument. From the Guardian.
UNILEVER, SHELL, BP AND EDF ENERGY are among 70 leading companies
calling on governments across the globe to step up efforts to
tackle climate change. The companies, which have a combined
turnover of $90bn, say the world needs a "rapid and focused response" to
the threat of rising global carbon emissions and the "disruptive
climate impacts" associated with their growth. From the Guardian.
ALSO, The American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world's largest general scientific society, has released a stark report Tuesday on climate change. The report
warns that the effects of human emissions of heat-trapping gases are
already being felt, that the ultimate consequences could be dire, and
that the window to do something about it is closing. From the NYT.
U.S. FEDERAL OFFICIALS are proposing sweeping new requirements
for American health care facilities — from large hospitals to small
group homes for the mentally disabled — intended to ensure their
readiness to care for patients during disasters. From the NYT.
EFFORTS TO TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE must urgently focus on implementing low carbon technologies such as
wind and solar power rather than discussions of the science and quarrels
over policy, the former United Nations climate chief has said. From the Guardian.
US PRESIDENT OBAMA'S annual budget request to Congress will propose a
significant change in how the government pays to fight wildfires,
administration officials said, a move that they say reflects the ways in
which climate change is increasing the risk for and cost of those fires. From the NYT.
THE JACOBSHAVEN GLACIER - widely thought to have spawned the
iceberg that sank the Titanic - is moving about four times faster than
it was in the 1990s. The Greenland Ice Sheet has seen record melting in recent years and would raise sea levels 6m were it all to vanish. Details of the research are published in The Cryosphere journal. From the BBC.
WITH NO SIGN OF RAIN, 17 rural communities providing water to 40,000
people are in danger of running out within 60 to 120 days. California state
officials said that the number was likely to rise in the months ahead
after the State Water Project, the main municipal water distribution
system, announced on Friday that it did not have enough water to
supplement the dwindling supplies of local agencies that provide water
to an additional 25 million people. From the NYT.
CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE IMPACTS ON BUSINESS. After a decade of increasing damage to Coca-Cola's balance sheet as
global droughts dried up the water needed to produce its soda, the
company has embraced the idea of climate change as an economically
disruptive force. Coke reflects a growing view among American business leaders and
mainstream economists who see global warming as a force that contributes
to lower gross domestic products, higher food and commodity costs,
broken supply chains and increased financial risk. Their position is at
striking odds with the longstanding argument, advanced by the coal
industry and others, that policies to curb carbon emissions are more
economically harmful than the impact of climate change. From the NYT.
DROUGHT CONDITIONS IN THE US FAR WEST intensified last year, government scientists said Wednesday, adding to concerns about water supplies in the region. From the NYT.
SEVERE WEATHER DISRUPTIONS ACROSS CANADA over the past year caused insurers to pay out a record $3.2 billion in claims, the industry says. The ice storm that hit southern Ontario and then Eastern Canada caused $200 million worth of insured losses, bringing the total to $3.2 billion for all of 2013. That's the highest level the insurance industry has ever seen. From the CBC.
SCIENTISTS POINT TO UNMISTAKEABLE EVIDENCE that global sea levels are rising and could increase as much as three feet by end of century, particularly if greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked; rising tides pose enormous risk for United States, particularly along East Coast, where much of population and economy is concentrated. From the NYT.
CLIMATE SCIENTIST TELL U.S. SENATE that climate change is a 'clear and present danger'. In a Senate hearing on President Obama's Climate Action Plan, Andrew Dessler (Texas A&M University) summarised the science behind the climate threat before the Senate committee hearings about the proposed climate action plan. From the Guardian.
THE UK'S RUN OF RAIN-DRENCHED SUMMERS could be ended by a slow-down in major Atlantic currents which bring warm, wet air to Europe, according to research. The currents were known to have weakened since 2004 but the new work suggests the trend began in the 1990s and shows no sign of ending. From the Guardian.
SEVERE DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA leads to emergency declaration. From the NYT.

UT Arlington In The News - Monday, October 31, 2011
Dealing with lead contamination in soil
WWL-TV/CBS 4 (New Orleans) interviewed Andrew Hunt, a UT Arlington assistant professor of earth and environmental sciences, about a project he is leading that hopes to find the best way to deal with lead contamination in soil. The story also appeared on the station's website and on KLFY-TV/CBS 3 (Lafayette, La.).
Video games sales' impact on crime
WREG-TV/CBS 3 (Memphis, Tenn.) broadcast a story in which Michael Ward, UT Arlington associate professor of economics, was interviewed about his research on video games that showed when sales of violent games increase, violent crime decreases. The story initially aired on KDAF-TV/CW 33 (Dallas).
Florida addresses Vision North Texas
Noted author and economist Richard Florida told a group of volunteer visionaries from across the metroplex Friday that civic and government entities in Tarrant and Dallas counties need to foster a "work-together consortium," the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. He was referring to the notion that the west side of the metroplex competes with the east side. Florida was speaking to the 2011 Regional Summit of Vision North Texas, a group that has produced a plan that can lead growth for a 16-county North Texas region. The group is sponsored by the University of Texas at Arlington, the North Central Texas Council of Governments and the Urban Land Institute's North Texas District Council. Florida has been working with UT Arlington's School of Urban and Public Affairs on its efforts.
Native American group expands message
The Native American Student Association at UT Arlington has sponsored a spring Pow Wow for 17 years, but this year the group is expanding its message, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. Starting Tuesday, the group will participate in Native American Heritage Month -- observed nationally through November -- with programs looking at language, Hollywood's portrayal of American Indians and their image in sports. "We are really excited," said Les Riding-In, an adviser in UT Arlington's Honors College who also advises the student association. "It's the first time we have a theme."
Research collaboration
UT Arlington will have a tie-up with Gitam University on joint research programs, particularly in the area of nano technology, The Hindu reported.
