Oil: The Bad News in the Good News
An oil field near Bakerfield, California
On Monday, the International Energy Agency (IEA) came out with a stunner of a projection. The United States will replace Saudi Arabia as the world's largest producer of oil by 2020, thanks to the unlocking of massive shale oil reserves. With hydro-fracking technology, the U.S. is riding a boom in natural gas as well.
Oil production will increase from its current level of about 6 million barrels a day per year to 11 million barrels by 2020. Within a few years, the U.S. will be a net exporter.
Pardon me if I don't rejoice.
This good news all but guarantees that the United States government, Democrat or Republican, will turn away from efforts to replace carbon fuels with clean, renewable energy. It guarantees another generation of relatively cheap gasoline for motorists—and an increase in the U.S. contribution to global climate change.
Hundreds of thousands of people are still suffering the aftereffects of Hurricane Sandy. But Sandy is already yesterday's news.
Except that Sandy—and more and bigger super-storms and ocean surges—are in fact tomorrow's news. Even if we redouble our efforts to remedy climate change, we will suffer worsening weird weather. And if cheap oil redoubles our consumption of carbon fuels, we only accelerate the destruction.
Between the aversion of America's drivers to paying even a modest gas tax; the electoral politics of coal, gas, and oil; and the phony budget crisis, the United States was already far off track in what needed to be done. Even the low-fruit of energy conservation is unimpressive. At Monday's press conference announcing the new oil projection, the IEA's chief economist, Fatih Birol, called the lack of progress on conservation an "epic failure."
With the U.S. wallowing in oil and refusing to tax carbon, it becomes far harder to promote Third World efforts to skip over the West's dirty industrialization phase and pursue a clean-energy path.
Environmentalists who had been relying on projections of "peak oil" to spur efforts to cut carbon emissions will now need to redouble efforts to educate the public on the fact that we are destroying our habitat. With newly plentiful oil, prices of crude have dropped from a peak of $147.25 a barrel in 2008 to $85.55 today. Prices are down about 13 percent this year, and a future of cheap fuel will only undercut conservation and a shift to cleaner energy.
By the time peak oil truly arrives, late in this century, we will be that much further down the road to climate hell. You wonder how many more Sandys it will take before Americans get the message. Even for those who doubt that climate change is man-made, there is no doubt that the polar ice is melting and the oceans are rising.
Oh, and one more bit of bad news in the good news. All of this new oil production will only increase the political power of the oil industry and the bragging rights of conservatives.
The Wall Street Journal lead editorial on the subject, titled "Saudi America," gloats that the green-energy revolution is being overtaken by a new boom in fossil fuels. The editorial never once mentions climate change.
"Saudi America" is unintended irony. This country is becoming an oligarchy—make that oilagarchy.

A few observations. First, the IEA is not necessarily a reliable source for oil production projections, which they have been revising steadily downwards for the past 5 years. The world oil situation is still quite precarious, and this article's description of the change in oil price from $147 to $85 leaves out some important details. For example, oil did not steadily decrease from $147 to $85 as supply increased. Instead, when oil hit $147 per barrel in mid 2008, the world economy crashed, taking demand and oil prices with it. By late 2008, prices had fallen to $40 per barrel, less than half of current prices. Then as the economy began to recover, oil prices steadily rose, until they broke $100 again in late 2010. For the two years since, oil has bounced around between $80 per barrel and $120 per barrel. While WTI, the US benchmark for oil, is now $85, it was at $110 earlier this year, and at $100 as recently as September. This is not a tale of steadily increasing supply. This is a complex interaction between global economic health, increasing supply concerns, and demand fluctuations. The article also seems to overlook the fact that even the IEA's rosy projections have the price of oil rising steadily over the next decades. We are not going back to a time of cheap fuel, and rising oil prices still have the potential to drive a shift to different energy sources. They also remain a serious threat to global economic stability. Regardless of future supply concerns, I do agree that the media triumphantly proclaiming this new golden age of oil all incomprehensibly overlook the IEA's recommendation in the same report that we must leave a third of proven reserves in the ground to avoid catastrophic warming. Peak oil doesn't help with that, because we're talking about reserves that we already know exist - they are there whether oil production begins to decline or not. But peak oil is happening right now, and may yet spur the sort of innovation we desperately need. I don't see anything else that's gonna do it at this point, so we had better hope the oil boom peaks a lot sooner than the IEA predicts.

If we, the people, put pressure on the Obama administration, we can force investment in renewable energy DESPITE the (temporary) reduction in the cost of producing fossil fuels. The fact that gas is getting cheaper can give us some BREATHING ROOM, and provide a way to relieve the interim suffering of poor and middle class workers.
The problem is that adding taxes to raise the price of fossil fuels hurts those who have no choice but to burn them (to get to work), no choice but to burn them INEFFICIENTLY (due to older vehicles they cannot afford to replace), and no choice but to go long distances to work (rural residents, homeowners who cannot afford to move closer to work, or who have to take jobs farther from home). Until this market mechanism actually PRODUCES cheaper renewable energy, and these people can afford to purchase vehicles that can USE that fuel (so far, biodiesel cannot help owners of gasoline cars), these people will be stuck even deeper in poverty. Yet, higher energy prices are the only way to encourage conservation when possible in the short term and make renewable fuels competitive.
The answer, as I see it, is a COMBO package: on the one hand, a tax on fossil fuels that brings them up to a common "pump price" higher than the profitable price of renewable fuels; on the other hand, a tax credit that nullifies that tax on ESSENTIAL travel such as commuting to work, small business (not corporate) travel, college and medical commuting.
For most wage earners, their employers, who know their home addresses and work location addresses, and number of work shifts per pay period, can directly add that rebate to the paychecks and get reimbursed by the IRS. Other taxpayers such as small businesses, and taxpayers reporting medical and educational mileage, can be reimbursed on their quarterly or annual tax returns.
As the proportion of energy from fossil fuels decreases, and the cost of the renewable fuels goes down, the tax could be reduced, eventually being phased out. In addition, just as the government subsides (actually, makes) educational loans, it could have a fund to finance replacement of older, inefficient vehicles with newer, efficient and alternative fuel vehicles.
This would help us to achieve our Energy Renewable Goals, so it could be called the ERG program (scientists will recognize that energy is measured in ERGS). Any discussion of this idea?
Tue, 2012-11-13 19:47
One more point about the ERG tax rebate: the rebate is based on MILEAGE and the AVERAGE tax collected per mile, adjusted periodically as the mix of fossil and renewable fuel usage changes. Workers who ALREADY have reduced their fuel costs, one way or the other, can make a PROFIT from the rebate, while those who have not will break even. As time goes on, however, those who do not improve their fuel costs will begin to lose, but they will have time to make that adjustment (especially with public financing for replacement, something anticipated by "cash for clunkers"). REFUSING to adjust out of stubbornness will cost even more.

text: I've decided to add favorite recipes here and invite my sisters and mom to share recipes of their own too. I'm the only one who has been diagnosed with Celiac Sprue – but while on the phone with my mom recently for recipe advice, her cell phone rang. One of my sisters was on the other phone getting recipe advice of her own. Seems we never remember our mom's words of wisdom – as I frequently find myself calling her from grocery stores, the kitchen, etc – regardless of how many cookbooks I own! Maybe this will help us keep things all together in one space.

EarthLite Fitted Disposable Headrest Covers, 50ct
Your clients will love the feel of EarthLite's disposable headrest covers. Flat covers feature a soft, absorbent medical grade fiber that is hypoallergenic. Box of 50.
I was very dissapointed this time for headrest covers.
I opened the box and every other cover was too small and riped off when I put it to headrest on my massage chair.
I didn't have this problem before.
I use a flannel headrest cover and place these over that cover. They fit rather nicely and I don't have to change the flannel cover, just the disposable cover. They have never ripped and serve the purpose.
Headrest flannel covers are good quality but natural color is not bleached white. I like white these are not...my learning experience!
The picture on the website beside other brands make it look like they are cotton or cotton-like. They are not. They are mesh just like the nurses caps. They are a little softer but still not the quality that appears on the website. They are still the best ones on the market but could be softer.
These cradle covers actually fit my massage chair cradle cushion!!! They are easy to use. There only downfall is a little flap of material that gets right in the client's face. other than that, they are great.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

"…but have you tried exercising?"
The phrase almost every patient, especially the more seasoned behavioral health patients, will shudder or wince upon hearing, and immediately begin the self-defeating, low self-esteem inner monologue that tries to negate the value of the question, which is, it turns out, one of the best questions a mental health practitioner can ask. But like so much valuable medical advice, many clients are reluctant to take it seriously.
And so, the defense begins.
Yeah, I exercise. Well, sorta of. And my diet is okay. I mean, it could be better, but whose couldn't, you know? What this actually translates to is something deeper. What lies between the lines is this: Look, I don't try to be depressed or anxious. I don't choose to engage in regular battles with insomnia and nightmares. I've dealt with this for as long as I can remember, and I doubt running around, getting sweaty, and gasping for air is going to make a difference.
The whole truth, though, is that exercise does make a difference. Not only is it a crucial step toward self-empowerment and a confidence booster, but a keeping regular fitness routine has clear-cut and well-researched positive effects on the same neurotransmitters that are involved with common behavioral health complications such as Major Depression and Dysthymia.
It wasn't until I developed a real love for integrating challenging (and, as it turns out, incredibly fun) exercise as a part of my daily routine that I began to truly understand its transformative psychological and physiological properties. It was during my first semester of Anatomy that I realized how foolish I'd been to neglect using aerobic and anaerobic activities that boosted the chemicals my brain craved. It was this bit of knowledge, combined with an introduction to fitness programs created by Les Mills, that I realized exercise was essential in order for me to live my life to the fullest.
Getting Your Sexy (& Neurotransmitters) On: The Benefits Of Fitness
- Reduction of stress, anxiety, and depression
- Release of Endorphins, which boosts feelings of euphoria
- Better cognitive functioning and memory
- Increased release/higher concentrations of Serotonin and Dopamine
- Improvement of sleep/wake cycle (via boosted Melatonin)
- Decreased release of harmful stress-hormones (e.g., Cortisol)
- Boosted energy and libido
- Strengthened cardiovascular and respiratory systems
- Stronger bones, heart, and muscle tone
- Reduced cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure
- Reduced body fat and lethargy
- Looking and feeling healthy and (let's be honest here!) sexy
Does exercise cure Major Depressive disorder? Of course not. But it is a highly effective (and largely underutilized) strategy that is imperative to add to the treatment of behavioral health disorders. As anyone who suffers from these potentially debilitating conditions can tell you, any reduction in symptoms makes a tremendous of difference. It may very well mean having the ability to get out of bed, or go outside, or any of the seemingly simple activities that can elude those in the throes of a mental health crisis. According to a research study conducted at Harvard Medical School:
Can a few laps around the block actually solve your emotional problems? Probably not, but a regular exercise program might help. A review of studies stretching back to 1981 concluded that regular exercise can improve mood in people with mild to moderate depression. It also may play a supporting role in treating severe depression.
So how does this all work? On one hand, we have the neurological and physiological stuff, and on the other hand, we have concepts of self-esteem. Boost them both simultaneously, and you have a serious depression-battling weapon. In fact, according to scientific research, people who are on antidepressants stand the best chance of substantially benefitting from frequent aerobic exercise. Since exercise releases the "feel good" neurotransmitters that antidepressant medications prevent the brain from breaking down as quickly, the chemical effects can last longer and are more pronounced.
Don't Panic: You Can Lessen the Symptoms of Anxiety Disorder & Regain Control of Your Life
The evidence from a wide variety of scientific studies is astounding. An exhaustive analysis of prior studies on the benefits of exercise in combatting mental health disorders, coupled with additional population-based research, was recently published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. Dr. Craft of Northwestern University and Dr. Perna of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) found that aerobic training programs for individuals suffering from depression showed "a clear reduction in depression compared with the control condition," and discovered that the improvements held up three, seven, and ultimately even a year later. Further, another study illustrated that "just 30 minutes of treadmill walking for 10 consecutive days was sufficient to produce a clinically relevant and statistically significant reduction in depression (reduction of 6.5 points from baseline on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression)."
Most people with Anxiety and Panic disorders understand how deep the illness runs; how it is always present to varying degrees. That is, it's not only the panic attacks that are harmful, but the fear of panic striking at any moment. In essence, constant worry over the possibility of having a panic attack, especially in a public space, elevates daily levels of anxiety. Respectively, the fear of loss of control often leads to agoraphobia, unhealthy perfectionism, excessive worrying/nervousness, compulsions, self-consciousness, paranoia, and avoidance of places where attacks have occurred. Anxiety disorder also directly affects the body, increasing the likelihood of developing chronic indigestion or IBS, constant muscle tension, chronic insomnia, nausea, dizziness, sweating, chest pain, and elevated blood pressure.
Living with anxiety and panic is challenging and painful…but there are ways to begin to recover. Research has revealed that "both high- and low-intensity exercise reduce anxiety sensitivity." Further, the findings from clinical and randomized controlled trials conducted by doctors from The University of Southern Mississippi's Psychology Department revealed that "high-intensity exercise caused more rapid reductions in a global measure of anxiety sensitivity and produced more treatment responders than low-intensity exercise" and that high-intensity exercise specifically "reduced fear of anxiety-related bodily sensations."
Yes You Can!: Turning "I Can't Stick With It" Into "I Just Can't Get Enough!"
Excuses abound when it comes to the reason we can't stick with our new exercise routines, which results in nigh countless, failed resolutions to implement a fitness routine on a long-term basis. Let's not focus on why you can't incorporate exercise into your life, but discuss why you absolutely can.
You DO have enough time to exercise! Professionals recommend just 30 to 60 minutes a day, so click off the television and get going! Check out WebMD's 30-Minute Workouts.
- You ARE NOT too busy. You just haven't (yet!) made exercise a habit.
- You ARE NOT too old or too fat to change your life. You simply have to WANT TO.
- Exercise DOES NOT HAVE TO BE BORING. If running on the track is a snooze, choose something else! You're taking your life back, which should be fun and exhilarating. For example, Les Mills has created super fun cardiovascular workouts such as Sh'Bam! and Body Combat. You can get a serious workout in while getting down to Lady Gaga.
- Thin DOES NOT equal fit. While having a lean body often yields greater health outcomes, that doesn't mean you are in the clear. In fact, a study conducted in the UK revealed that up to 60% of individuals with normal body weights still have excess body fat, which can lead to all sorts of health complications.
- YOU CAN SUCCEED! You may have tried exercise before, but if you quit, you didn't try the right one. Set reasonable goals for yourself, and think about what you really love to do. Dancing? Yoga? Hiking? Swimming? Gardening? There's something for everyone—you just have to find it and know that YOU have the ability to empower yourself!
"Thanks so much for sharing. It's pretty cool knowing that these workouts are helping people in more than a physical way. People are comfortable talking about physical changes, but mental changes are harder to understand , as they can't be seen so easily. Good on you for speaking up!"
–the fabulous Rachael Newsham; Program Director of Sh'Bam! & Co-Program Director of Body Combat (Les Mills International).

"American Radical" is a probing, definitive documentary about American academic Norman Finkelstein. A devoted son of holocaust survivors, ardent critic of Isreal and US Mid-East policy, and author of five provocative books including "The Holocaust Industry". Finkelstein has been steadfast at the center of many intractable controversies, including his recent denial of tenure at DePaul University. Called a lunatic and disgusting self-hating Jew by some, and an inspirational street-fighting revolutionary by others, Finkelstein is a deeply polarizing figure whose struggles arise from core questions about freedom, identity and nationhood.

I was disappointed to have been unable to make the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Congress last week in Moscow. It's a historic event, in its fifth year, that gathers startup champions from around the world--entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, thought leaders and policymakers--to work together to help bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and expand human welfare. This kind of annual assembly has contributed to the expansion of a global entrepreneurial ecosystem by connecting experts and entrepreneurs across borders and sectors to unleash their ideas and transform innovation into reality.
The Obama Administration unveiled additional details recently of its FY 2015 budget request, which includes $25 million for a Regional Innovation Strategies Program that will continue coordinated interagency competitions.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Below, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories compiled from the last week.
I have just returned from the Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC) where this year over 5,000 people gathered from 153 countries to talk about starting and scaling new firms. Of note this year was the fact that the gathering was held in Moscow at a time of geopolitical tension around Crimea. Given that the Olympics in Sochi attracted less than 100 nations, the GEC last week provided clear evidence of the powerful role entrepreneurs now play on the global stage.
Congress gets back into full swing this week with a collection of committee hearings on Capitol Hill. The House Small Business Committee has a couple of hearings of interest -- first reviewing the proposed SBA budget for 2015 and then exploring the negative impact occupational licensing has on entrepreneurship and jobs. Other topics covered include: a possible end to the Fed's quantitative easing program, the proposed 2015 budget request for science agencies, bankruptcy reform, cyber security, the international financial system, quantitative easing and improving access to power throughout Africa.
Every Thursday evening in downtown Pittsburgh, something special happens at Little E's Jazz and Blues Club. During happy hour each week, entrepreneurs get together to tap into what's hot in the Pittsburgh start-up arena. Over drinks and cool jazz, they have the opportunity to interact and create relationships with potential financiers, university incubators, economic development thought leaders and other business stars.
As the day starts in Washington, DC, we are concluding the first of day of the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Congress
. The entrepreneurship communities from 153 countries gathered to bond on their common cause to unleash new ideas, remove roadblocks and solve problems in almost every imaginable realm.

I looked it up and apparently you don't have to pay monthly for Guild Wars 2, so I'm thinking I might save up for that, considering what I've heard about it. August 23-25 I'm going to try the GW2 free trial to see if I like the game. I've tried Tera, which was fun, but didn't keep me in for too long. I also tried SWTOR which IMO was kind of boring. Free-to-play games are obviously welcome and encouraged. As long as I don't have to pay for the game monthly, and the game only costs somewhere around $70. Thank you

Book cover design: 'Dead authors get the best book jackets'
October 30th, 2014
Steve Panton, Penguin Design Award 2013 second prize winner, is an in-house Junior Designer at Profile Books and Serpent's Tail.
'I've noticed that dead authors get the best book jackets. I'll let you draw your own conclusion as to why this is.' Peter Mendelsund
There is something incredibly rewarding and liberating with designing book covers for classic titles. Rewarding in that you are adding your interpretation to a book that will very likely be read by many generations to come; liberating in that the absence of an author allows a designer to focus on others' views of the book, rather than relying only on the author's interpretation. Kafka famously requested that the bug in The Metamorphosis should not appear on the cover. Whether the author's request is understandable is neither here nor there, but it proves authors can tighten the reins on a designer. As designers of classic titles not only do we have the resource of previous covers, but given time our reading of any book will naturally deepen and broaden: more time since its first publication allows for more minds to consume the narrative and themes. All of this proves to be invaluable research for a book cover designer.
Due to this freedom and wealth of resources, whilst also posing the challenge of adding a new representation to a text that could very likely be several hundred years old, designing classic book covers is the dream of a designer. And so when I was given the opportunity by Art Director Peter Dyer to expand upon his outstanding series design, I was thrilled to say the least. The titles that I have designed for the next season are A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines (1993; new edition out June 2015), Fatale by Jean-Patrick Manchette (1977; new edition February 2015) and The Seven Madmen by Roberto Arlt (1929; new edition February 2015).
The strength of this series design is the prominence it gives the photography selected. By having the title and author separate we can really give the image the focus it deserves. With The Seven Madmen we knew from the start we wanted to go with contemporary 1930s photography, to capture the sense of revolt and chaos associated with the book. We looked at a lot of crowd and riot imagery whilst also looking at authentic images from Buenos Aires. The strength of the period image we have selected is in its sense of confusion and claustrophobia, with only the odd person staring directing upwards breaking the pattern of hats, creating a dynamic image with an element of conspiracy.
Keeping a recognisable series style but allowing elements to change such as the colours and the typefaces allows each title to have its own individuality and helps separate this series design from many other classic book ranges. Penguin's classic range for example uses a house style across type and layout, whilst still focusing on powerful imagery to capture the individuality of the title. In the case of Fatale we used a bold orange, wanting a strong vibrant colour that is not overly feminine to contrast against the photography and represent the strength of the lead character. The choice of type is a throwback to the aesthetics associated with classic crime novels and cinema.
In a world where products – even books – are becoming increasingly disposable, you might ask why we need to re-package a book. But with re-packaging we reinterpret and expand the possible audience for that product, making the packaging understandable to a modern audience and hopefully playing a small part in the continued life of a classic piece of literature. With the repackaging of A Lesson Before Dying we have moved away from a darker image to one of a more personal depression and melancholy, in an effort to represent a different side of the text, one perhaps more reflective of my own interpretation of a book that focuses on small victories in a lifetime of defeats. It is the complexity of classic literature that allows for great design, the deep underlying themes allowing different generations of designers to come up with their own interpretation time after time.
"There is no subject so old that something new cannot be said about it." Fyodor Dostoevsky

Tuesday, November 12th (All times Eastern)
Colorado Avalanche (14-2-0) at Carolina Hurricanes (6-7-4), 7 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The powerful Colorado Avalanche will try to stay perfect on the road when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes for Tuesday's battle at PNC Arena.
The Avalanche are off to a 14-2-0 start to the season, winning 14 of their first 16 games for the first time in franchise history.
The historic start includes a franchise record-tying six-game road winning streak to begin a season and Colorado can match the club mark for longest road winning streak at any point in a season with another victory on Tuesday. The Avs won seven straight as the guest from Jan. 10-Feb. 7, 1999.
Colorado, however, has lost in its last three trips to Raleigh, although tonight's test is the Avs' first stop in North Carolina since Dec. 3, 2010, when the Hurricanes recorded a 2-1 overtime victory.
The Avs have claimed two straight in this series overall and are 3-1-1 over the past five encounters against Carolina.
Colorado recently wrapped a 3-1-0 homestand with Sunday's 4-1 triumph against the Washington Capitals. Gabriel Landeskog registered a goal and an assist to help the Avalanche win for the eighth time in nine games.
Nick Holden notched his first career goal, while PA Parenteau and Patrick Bordeleau also lit the lamp for the Avalanche. Semyon Varlamov, who spent his first three seasons with Washington, turned aside 33 shots in the triumph.
"It was great, especially against my old team," said Varlamov, who played for the Capitals from 2008-11. "It's always tough to play against Washington. They have so many good players."
Colorado is kicking off a brief two-game swing tonight and also will visit St. Louis on Thursday.
The Hurricanes, meanwhile, are playing the fourth portion of a five-game homestand on Tuesday and are 2-0-1 on the residency so far. The lone loss came in Carolina's last outing, as visiting Minnesota recorded a 3-2 shootout win at PNC Arena.
Ryan Murphy and Jiri Tlusty scored in regulation for Carolina, while Justin Peters allowed two goals on 30 shots in the setback.
"We played a really solid game, I thought, from start to finish. It was a lot of fun to be apart of out there. I just wish I could have gotten one of those shootout goals to give us a chance," said Peters.
The loss dropped Carolina's home record to 3-3-4 this season. The 'Canes are set to complete this homestand in Friday's test against the Anaheim Ducks.
Although No. 1 goaltender Cam Ward recently returned to practice, he is still not ready to suit up for game action, meaning Peters will get an eighth straight start in net on Tuesday. Ward has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since Oct. 24.
Peters lost his first five decisions this season, but is 2-0-1 with a .963 save percentage over his last three outings.
