Last June my friend Steffie and I packed our bags and headed off to Ireland!
There was no way around it; I wanted Steffie and I to fly into Cork. Our home base was situated in Cork with a rented apartment for the last week of our adventure and there was no reason to fly anywhere else. For a brief, less-than-24 hour period I gave in to what I initially thought was a manageable deal and booked tickets to Dublin International.
Luckily, I came to my senses, found a better deal and canceled that potential nightmare.
Not that there is anything wrong with flying into a huge international airport, but with the bulk of our time is going to be spent in Cork I'd just rather shill out the dough to experience a hostel and the Irish Rail for an initial night in Cork, go about our country tour and come back to Cork for rest and relaxation, knowing we have the convenience of being a mere twenty minute shuttle ride from the Cork Airport.
This is the reason we chose a connector flight; the reason we chose Aer Lingus.
Our initial flight was with Virgin Atlantic (review coming soon) which flew nonstop from Los Angeles (LAX) to Heathrow. I won't get into the nightmare that was Heathrow and hauling ass from one end of the airport to the very bitter end.
OK, I will get into it.
I am not exaggerating in the least when I say that Steffie and I had to hike a half of a mile at the very least to get to the Aer Lingus terminal. I do not hold this against the airline, but the airport. That is one scary-ass airport, by the way.
To give you a precise idea of how long it took to get from one end to the other:
We landed with an hour and forty minutes to spare.
We made it to the Aer Lingus terminal ten minutes before boarding.
Only one checkpoint had a line that kept us more than five minutes.
We finally hit the Ireland destination terminal after going through several checkpoints all asking the same thing:
Seriously, who wants two American broads screwing up their country anyway? We might have flags. Or squirrels.
It was all gold from there! Boarding was smooth and efficient, with Steffie at the window and myself the center. For whatever reason, we were unable to secure our seat assignments online. Aer Lingus offers this service on their site directly but Expedia.com, the website I used to book the flights, did not. Bunk. For health reasons, I usually insist on the aisle seat, but this flight was just over an hour so I did not mind. The seats were comfy leather and I had ample leg room. It should be noted that I stand five foot eight inches. Leg room is kind of important.
We were permitted one carry-on each at no cost to us, and our checked luggage (one checked for the each of us) was already on from Virgin Atlantic – free of cost as they were under 50 lbs each. Our bags arrived crazy fast from the aircraft to the baggage claim.
However, take note:
Please be aware that Aer Lingus will no longer check bags all the way through if a passenger has a separate ticket with another airline even if they provide the separate tickets at check-in. The only time this will be done is if they are connecting Aer Lingus to Aer Lingus. – Aer Lingus website
Their in flight magazine, Cara, was actually very informative and helpful for our trip. We took our copies with us to keep as there were articles highlighting various neighborhoods of Cork and some of the best establishments we ended up patronizing, including Tom Barry's and The Hi-B.
Our return flight was just as lovely, and the good people at Aer Lingus did not bat an eye at the extra carriage I hauled after visiting the quickie shops at the Cork Airport.
Aer Lingus is Ireland's best low-cost airline that offers 80 routes to the UK and Continental Europe as well as six destinations in the USA Sadly, none of those six destinations are Los Angeles directly, but I hope this changes very soon!
Book your flight with Aer Lingus!

Reach tens of thousands of people instantly by advertising with Ekklesia. Find out more
Academics and church leaders are among those mourning the loss of Edward Farley, a scholar and writer of "constructive theology", who died at the end of last year (2014) at the age of 85. Simon Barrow looks at his legacy and significance for practical and applied theology.
Theologians from around the world have convened at the Ecumenical Institute, Bossey, Switzerland, to reflect on water justice.
Ferguson is in turmoil. So is New York. And so is Union Theological Seminary in the city of New York, a long-standing institution of theological education located on the upper west side of Manhattan – or in West Harlem – since 1836. Annegreth Schilling, a German theologian currently at Union, looks at the social and political location and witness of theology in a troubled and unjust world.
From time-to-time, unsurprisingly, people ask us about the name 'Ekklesia'. We have an FAQ on that, which you can find here (http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/about/faqs/10), but it is something that we should probably talk about more.
A talk on 'Disabled Church: Disabled Society', by Ekklesia associate the Rev Dr John Gillibrand takes place at 7pm at Manchester Cathedral on Tuesday 18th November 2014.
The Christian Gospel amplifies the prophet's call to "do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God." This summons is addressed to the whole church, all its members. It is of the essence of the Way of Wisdom and should be the basis of high quality and wide-ranging theological training, says Professor Deirdre Good, one of eight senior faculty members seeking reinstatement at General Theological Seminary in New York, after they took action to highlight abusive behaviour.
Within hours over 550 people have signed a petition to the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, calling for reinstatement of eight sacked seminary professors.
The future of a flagship Episcopal seminary in the US is in doubt after its board ignored pleas from across the world to reinstate sacked faculty members.
The crisis at General Theological Seminary in New York has not only produced important acts of solidarity towards eight fine professors unjustly sacked for their protests about what they have experienced as bullying within the GTS administrative system, it has also begun to spark some wider questions about the future of seminary-style education and mainstream US Protestantism.

I don't even think the food has touched "thai food" taste. Thank God I went during Restaurant Week, because the food was definitely not worth the price you'd normally pay.

This place must be in the running for best decor - really a very nice space with very good service. The food however was barely edible. I loved the pineapple fried rice though - if you do go get it! The bill was unbelievable - I suggest you look at other spots unless someone else is paying.

Couldn't agree more with the previous review. Food is average at the most, nothing tasted even close to good or regular . And they charge as if they were serving amazing food. Just go for the drinks and the ambience. The food is definitely not worth it.

Food was not good. Every dish (chocolate ribs, prawns, bass) went unfinished, and the seafood had a fishy smell. Very nice space, good service and a pretty crowd, but I have never spent so much money for such poor food.

A party of 3 people, two of us vegetarians, thought our choice would be a disaster when we saw the lack of vegetarian dishes on the menu. But no! The excellent waiter took the time to work out a fabulous small menu for us. With lots of baked and fried tofu, stir fried vegetables and banana artichoke salad (good, but the least interesting since it is all a mush and you cannot distinguish what is what). The fish lover got the Jumbo Shrimp platter. Everything very tasty and satisfying. Great drinks and a superb atmosphere. I would come back a lot if they could fix me a curry without the fish sauce, but that was to much to ask for. In any case we were very happy with the experience.

It was girls night and it was a great choice. We were early so we waited at the bar for our party to be complete. The service was great and the drinks were better. I don't drink that much but the Passionfruit Margarita was very good. The atmosphere inside was very nice...dark, but enough so you can see your table. It seemed that there was no one else there even though they were full. We shared choc ribs, banana artichoke saladvery good. The ribs were meaty and just spicy enough. For dinner the chilean sea bass, prime rib, and soft shell crabs were excellent. The hangar steak was a little too spicy for our taste, though. Dessert was the banana rolls, the fondue and the ice cream sundae. My only disappointment was that the ice cream scoops were small !! Overall it was a great value with drinks and a 3 course meal.

U.S. stocks rose despite occasional bouts of risk aversion and volatility and uncertainty about when the Federal Reserve might increase interest rates. Mid- and small-cap shares outperformed large-caps; growth stocks outperformed value stocks across all market capitalizations. Stocks in developed non-U.S. markets generally outperformed U.S. shares, despite a stronger dollar versus several major currencies. Emerging markets equities edged higher, but weak emerging markets currencies reduced returns in dollar terms. U.S. bonds moved up amid weak inflation readings and decelerating economic growth. Long-term Treasuries climbed as long-term interest rates declined. High yield bonds advanced as energy issuers, an important segment of the market, benefited from stabilizing oil prices. Developed non-U.S. bonds produced negative returns in dollar terms as the dollar grew stronger.
The Personal Strategy Growth Fund returned 3.44% in the quarter compared with 2.25% for the Combined Index Portfolio* and 2.02% for the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2015, the fund returned 8.26% versus 7.92% for the Combined Index Portfolio* and 7.25% for the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index. The fund's average annual total returns were 8.26%, 11.75%, and 7.77% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of March 31, 2015. The fund's expense ratio was 0.90% as of its fiscal year ended May 31, 2014.
Benchmark Definitions
Security selection was the primary driver of relative performance. Security selection within our U.S. large-cap portfolios contributed as each outperformed their style-specific benchmarks. Our non-U.S. equities portfolios also outperformed their style-specific benchmarks. However, security selection within emerging markets bonds detracted as the portfolio underperformed its style-specific benchmark. The inclusion of non-benchmark diversifying sectors contributed to relative performance, especially our high yield and emerging markets bond portfolios. However, our exposure to non-U.S. dollar bonds and real asset equities weighed on relative performance. Positioning decisions detracted from relative performance, particularly our underweight to U.S. small-cap equities versus U.S. large-caps. However, our underweight to real asset equities contributed to relative performance.
Central bank monetary policies should continue to diverge as the U.S. Federal Reserve begins to normalize interest rate policy sometime in 2015, Europe and Japan deepen quantitative easing to spur inflation and growth, and many emerging markets countries lower interest rates. Moderate growth in the U.S. should continue as the recovery continues. In developed non-U.S. markets, we expect growth to improve as fiscal headwinds diminish, the credit environment mends, energy costs wane, and the euro weakens. However, growth in emerging markets is likely to decline, weighed down by China's move to a consumer-focused economy and sanction-fueled economic woes in Russia. Against this backdrop, we believe that our highly diversified portfolios and diligent fundamental research can enhance our ability to produce good long-term returns.

Lopez, Griffin, et al. Join Cast of EPIC FAIL, 12/5
Despite receiving millions of calls and emails to shut it down, Maxwell Arts Group and Comix Comedy Club is still presenting Epic Fail: Broadway's Future Flops on Sunday December 5th at 7pm and complete casting has been announced.
The night of new music from bad ideas will be hosted by blogging sensation Randy Rainbow.
The cast will feature Janice Landry, Lauren Lopez (A Very Potter Musical), Michael Sutherland, Ashley Griffin, Carly Sakolove, John Scacchetti, Evan Jay Newman (Les Miz), Brik Olson, Jack Holahan, Dayna Grayber, Russell Fischer (Jersey Boys) and Constantine Rousouli (Hairspray).
Epic Fail is a new semi-regular comedy concert which was originally going to showcase brilliant new musical numbers written by some of today and tomorrow's superstar composers however, all of these so-called composers had some terrible ideas for new musicals (that the producers may have chosen for them) and had to be stopped. But, rather than wasting the songs they had already written, the decision was made to throw all the songs together and produce a concert!
Who hasn't been begging for Forrest Gump: A Musical Spectacular? or perhaps Mommie Dearest: The Musical is more your style? Arthur Miller's Crucible the Musical? Songs from these hopefully-never-to-be-seen musicals and more will be sung live!
Featuring great new music by Will Van Dyke and Josh Holloway, Brent Black (I'll Be Damned), Nick Messitte (Get GOT), Seth Bisen-Hersh, Ashley Griffin, Rachel Bloom, Ellen Greenfield and Brad Ross (Little by Little) Michael Sutherland, David John Madore, Josh Schmidt (The Adding Machine).
The director is Marc Eardley and the musical director is David John Madore.
The concert is Sunday, December 5th at 7pm sharp at Comix Comedy Club which is located at 353 West 14th St.
Tickets, priced at $15 w/ a two drink minimum, can be purchased here: http://comixny.com/event.aspx?eid=862&sid=3104 or by calling the Comix box office at 212-524-2500. Proceeds benefit The Maxwell Arts Group, a 501c3 pending non-profit.

Mt. Pleasant, Mich. — Back after a one-week absence due to a rainout, the action was hot and heavy on Friday, June 17 at the Mt. Pleasant Speedway.
Several new faces were on hand for the "Smoke Shop Dave" $600 to win Memorial Street Stock Invitational to honor the late Smokers Club owner Dave Sprunger, who was a longtime dirt racing supporter of many.
The night also included a special appearance from the MORA Mini Mods, plus regular night of NAPA UMP Modified Minis, and Mt. Pleasant and Clare Automotive Stock Minis as the Chuck's Discount Foods UMP Modifieds had the night off.
In the first main event of the evening, the Stock Minis rolled out onto the three-eighths mile track for a 10-lap race. Early on co-point leader No. 7 Fred Parisian of Auburn dropped out of the race. From there No. 15 Jeff McKenzie of Clare made his way through the field from sixth and got the win over No. 52 'Taco' Bob Baltierrez of Alma, No. 63 Steve Keeler Sr. of Vestaburg, and No. D7 Tasha Decker of Coleman in unofficial top four.
The Modified Mini Stocks were next and with No. 91 Nathan Carlon closing in on his first career feature win, the Farwell rookie slowed, giving the lead over to No. 88 Mike Schnettler of Sanford. At the finish, Schnettler put his early season bad luck behind and got his first main event win of the year over No. 16 Joe Burch of Rosebush, No. 68 Trever Fedewa of Mt. Pleasant, No. 79 Rich Robinson Sr. of Shepherd, and Carlon. Robinson Sr. was making his first appearance in the class as his usual Late Model car was banged up and his UMP Modified car's class had the night off.
In the MORA Mini Mods, nine cars made it out for the 15-lap feature and the driver of the No. 22 took the victory over the No. 4-Sale car.
A strong 16-car field made their way out for the "Smoke Shop Dave" Memorial 25-lap feature, which was presented by Racer's Speed Shop and also included a contribution from J.R. Schmid and an added bonus to the second place finisher. Early on the race belonged to Mt. Pleasant Speedway newcomer No. 97 Spike Grega of Muskegon. All alone in the lead, Grega, who had been driving the high line all night long, got too high and went off turn two bringing out a lap 12 caution and giving the lead to No. 10 Gary Vandermark of Lowell over No. 11 Sr Jeff Loomis and No. 11 Jr Josh Loomis, both of Weidman. Making a strong run from 20th-place, No. 7 Mike Sparks of Otter Lake drove to fifth before a flat tire sent him to the pits. With several cautions, including a lap 21 caution from a wild crash involving Josh Loomis and No. 49 Greg Tragis of Harrison, Sparks returned to the track on the lead lap. Late in the race with Vandermark out front, No. 77B Rob Brillhart of Crystal made it a two-car battle and at the stripe, Brillhart would slip around Vandermark and get the win. Following Vandermark, who was second, were Sparks, No. 55 Joe Pomeroy of Cass City, and No. 83 Josh Sternberg of Muskegon in top five unofficially.
The final race of the night was the UMP Late Models for a 25-lap feature. Attrition would take the toll on this field, but the end of the race proved as exciting as any with No. 0X Zack Olger of St. Johns rolling through the field from a sixth-place starting spot and giving it all he had using the high and low side to try and get around leader No. 6M Dona Marcoullier of Houghton Lake. At the checkered flag, Marcoullier would hold off Olger for the win, with No. 6XM Donnie Marcoullier of Houghton Lake, No. 13 Scott Baker of Ionia, and No. 0K Mike Kresnak of Elwell in unofficial top five.
This Friday, June 24, is a full show of racing with a Jim's Body Shop UMP Modified Mini Stock Special and the Gift of Life Michigan on hand with information on organ and tissue donation and ability to sign up people on the spot.

We stayed here over the July 4th weekend. The bar had just opened but the onsite restaurant was not ready. Excellent location but beach is hardly private, many locals and pets. Facility is pet friendly which is great except for a few yappy dogs in adjoining rooms. Staff was Truly Awesome! Ice machines are very limited but bar staff had no problem in loading you up. We will Definitely stay here again.

Carmelo Anthony: 'Time for change'
Updated: October 29, 2010, 2:00 PM ETESPN.com news services
Carmelo Anthony acknowledged after Denver's season-opening victory Wednesday that he still doesn't intend to sign a contract extension and that it might be time for him and the Nuggets to go their separate ways.
Speaking to Yahoo! Sports after scoring 23 points in Denver's 110-88 win over Utah, Anthony said he's looking at his future -- and the Nuggets don't appear to be part of it.

As of Friday, February 17, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
DAWSON — A 19-5 season at Southwest Georgia Academy is nothing to sneeze at, but it's what could have been that hurts so bad for the Warriors after Thursday's first-round playoff loss.
SGA led Frederica Academy, the defending GISA Class AA boys state champs, through three quarters but lost the fourth quarter, 19-7, and eventually the game, bowing out in Round 1, 40-33.
"I hate for this season to end the way it did," said Warriors head coach David Byrne, who led SGA to its best season in years. "We put so much into it."
SGA led 26-21 entering the final eight minutes, but Frederica's press finally broke through and forced late turnovers in a defensive battle in which neither team scored in double figures in a quarter until the Knights' final rally.
"Two or three turnovers and they're back in the game," Byrne said of losing the fourth-quarter lead. "Then we're struggling to run our offense. It doesn't make any sense to me right now. We didn't come in (the fourth quarter) and do what we needed to do. Their big thing was turning us over, and we handled their press well for three quarters."
Region 3-AA No. 2 seed SGA got 10 points from senior Kameron Whitaker, the only Warrior to score in double digits. Alex Chambless scored nine points, while senior Nate Lingo added eight.
Frederica (18-3), which lost a coin flip to determine a three-way tie for first in its region and ended up the No. 3 seed from Region 2-AA, was led by Sam Heery's 22 points. Heery and the Knights killed SGA at the free throw line in the fourth, scoring 11 of their 19 points at the line.
Frederica moves on to face Furtah Prep Saturday at Middle Georgia College, a rematch of last year's GISA Class AA state title won by the Knights.
SGA, meanwhile, loses seniors Whitaker, Lingo and Billy Grimsley and will see its region shaken up next season with the addition of Westwood and Sherwood. SGA does return some experience, namely the Chambless brothers, that led the Warriors on a great regular season run that ended with a loss in the region title game and a first-round playoff defeat to close out the postseason.
Not hardly the way they wanted things to end.
"Not even close," Byrne said.
Class A
TIFTON — The Westwood boys advanced to the Class A Elite 8 on Thursday with a 64-25 rout of Twiggs, thanks to three double-figure scorers: Brody Collins (15 points), Mitch Good (14) and Jamie Davis (10).
For the Wildcats, there was no hangover from the Region 3-AAA Championship they won last weekend.
"I was a little worried about that, but we came out strong and got ahead early and just played well," said Westwood coach Al Timmerman, whose team led, 39-14, at halftime.
The win now advances the Wildcats to Saturday's Elite 8 round against Solid Rock Christian at 5:30 p.m. at ABAC.
CRISP ACADEMY BOYS 60, PROVIDENCE CHRISTIAN 36: Nick Culpepper scored 22 points to lift the Wildcats into the Elite 8 round of the Class A State Tournament, where they'll face Dawson Street on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at ABAC.
The Wildcats rebounded nicely from a region title loss to Westwood during which they scored only 17 points.

Domitian Aureus, Ex Huntingon CollectionDomitian (AD 81-96). AV aureus (20mm, 7.54 gm, 6h). Rome, AD 90-91. DOMITIANVS AVGVSTVS, laureate head of Domitian right / GERMANICVS COS XV, Germania, nude to the waist, seated right on hexagonal shield, in attitude of mourning; below, broken spear. RIC 699.

Ex Archer M. Huntington / American Hispanic Society Collection (Sotheby's New York, 8 March 2012, part of).
Domitian's campaigns against the German tribes, chiefly the Chatti, are often derided by ancient sources as ham-fisted glory-hounding that produced no lasting benefit to the Roman Empire. However Roman historians were uniformly hostile to Domitian and a fair assessment confirms that Roman control over the border region known as the Agri Decumates, now in Southwest Germany, was solidified during Domitian's reign, partially as a consequence of his exploits. Needing some military credentials, the newly crowned Domitian launched a surprise attack on the Chatti in AD 82-83; a new legion, I Minervia, was raised for the purpose and Domitian ordered roads built in Chattian territory to speed military movements through the occupied lands. Domitian celebrated a Triumph and took the title Germanicus at the end of AD 83. The Chatti were not subdued, however, and six years later they joined in the revolt of Lucius Antonius Saturninus, governor of Upper Germany, in January of AD 89. A fortuitous early thaw of the Rhine river prevented the Chatti from crossing to aid Saturninus, and the rebellion was quickly quelled by loyal legions by the end of January. This gold aureus, issued the following year, depicting Germania as a mourning woman seated atop a German shield and broken spear, portrays the crushing of Saturninus as a victory against a bellicose foreign power. As usual with Domitian, the truth is rather more complicated than his regime's public face.

Edmonds' homer lifts Brewers over Reds
Brewers 3, Reds 2
MILWAUKEE -- Jim Edmonds acknowledged he's been hurting since the start of July. He'll continue to grit it out -- as he did Monday night -- before deciding whether to retire.
Edmonds homered as a pinch hitter with two outs in the eighth inning after just missing a go-ahead shot on the previous pitch and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to beat the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2.
He has been unable to play the field since his right Achilles' tendon tightened Saturday night and has been dropping hints that this year will be his final one after not playing last season. Limited to only pinch hitting, he didn't need to run after his at-bat against Bronson Arroyo.
"I'm trying to play through it," Edmonds said. "Hopefully it doesn't get any worse. ... I'll keep going out there until I can't go out there anymore."
Edmonds hit a big blast off a fastball from Arroyo, dropping the bat only to watch his shot sail foul. He sent the next pitch over the Reds' bullpen in right-center field.
"I play a mental chess match, man," Arroyo said. "That's how I win ballgames and I got beat that time. Edmonds beat me. I didn't think in a million years -- I threw the ball right where I wanted to -- I didn't think he could even swing at the pitch and he hits it out of the park. You tip your hat to somebody who comes off the bench and does that."
Milwaukee snapped a six-game losing streak to the Reds despite the return of third baseman Scott Rolen, who returned to the Cincinnati lineup after missing nine games with a strained right hamstring.
National League
Phillies 5, Rockies 4 at Philadelphia: Brad Lidge escaped another bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning and Philadelphia completed a four-game sweep of Colorado. The Rockies lost their sixth in a row and limped home after a 2-9 road trip.
Cubs 5, Astros 2 at Houston: Geovany Soto drove in two runs before leaving the game in the sixth with a bruised foot and Alfonso Soriano had two doubles and an RBI to help Chicago beat Houston. Cubs starter Carlos Silva (10-4) yielded five hits and one run with four strikeouts to get his 10th win of the season after two straight losses.
American League
Twins 19, Royals 1 at Kansas City, Mo.: Joe Mauer had five hits and a career-best seven RBI and Danny Valencia went 4-for-4 with a grand slam for his first major league home run, leading Minnesota to a rout of Kansas City. Mauer, the 2009 American League MVP, was 5-for-5 with three singles, a double and a three-run home run that made it 17-0 in the seventh. The five hits tied his career best as the Twins set a season-high in runs and tied their season-best with 20 hits
Yankees 3, Indians 2 at Cleveland: Curtis Granderson hit a two-run shot and Alex Rodriguez missed out on his 600th homer in New York's victory over Cleveland. Rodriguez, who was 0-for-4, went homerless for the fourth consecutive game trying to become the seventh player and youngest to reach the 600 milestone.
White Sox 6, Mariners 1 at Chicago: John Danks pitched eight solid innings to win his fourth consecutive start, and Juan Pierre and Alexei Ramirez each had three hits for Chicago, which kicked off a seven-game homestand with its season-high eighth consecutive victory at U.S. Cellular Field. It's the White Sox's longest home winning streak since a nine-game surge in 2008.
Blue Jays 9, Orioles 5 at Toronto: Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 28th home run, Aaron Hill and Adam Lind also connected and Toronto beat Baltimore for the 10th straight time. All three homers came off Brad Bergesen (3-9), who has lost seven straight decisions and has not won since May 12 against Seattle.

IBM has been a leader in addressing climate change through the company's energy conservation and climate protection programs for decades. We have been tracking our energy consumption since 1973, and GHG emissions since the late 1990s. The majority of GHG emissions associated with IBM's operations, 87.3 percent, come from the use of electricity and fuel in our operations. The remaining GHG emissions are associated with the use of PFCs and heat transfer fluids in our semiconductor manufacturing operations. IBM has longstanding programs to implement energy conservation and PFC reduction initiatives to reduce GHG emissions from our use of energy and PFCs. We have set and attained a series of PFC and CO2 emissions reduction goals over the past 15 years.
Overall CO2 emissions inventory
IBM tracks and manages operational Scope 1 and 2 emissions across its operations, collecting and aggregating data from its data center, semiconductor research and manufacturing, hardware development and assembly and office operations. IBM has a broad, effective set of programs and processes to inventory its energy use and GHG emissions and take action to increase the efficiency of its operations. IBM decreased its overall Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 10.4 percent from 2012 to 2013. The summary of its 2013 emissions inventory is provided in Table 1 below.
Table 1: IBM 2013 Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions Inventory
Metric tons (MT) of CO2 Equivalent
|Scope 1 Emissions
|Emissions Type
|Fuel Use
|Perflourinated Carbon Compounds
|Nitrous Oxide
|Heat Transfer Fluids
|Total Scope 1 Emissions
|Scope 2 Emissions
|Electricity: Using Grid and Location MT CO2/MWh Emissions Factors
|Purchased Energy Commodities
|Total Scope 2 Emissions
|Total Scope 1 and 2 Emissions
|CO2 Avoidance: Renewable Electricity Purchases
|Total Scope 1 and 2 Emissions adjusted for Renewable Electricity
Operational CO2 emissions reductions
IBM's energy conservation program has been the cornerstone of the company's climate protection program, since our energy use represents the greatest potential climate impact associated with IBM's operations. Our ongoing focus on minimizing energy use in our operations through energy conservation and efficiency projectxs reduces our CO2 emissions inventory and delivers business value through more efficient operations and reduced operating costs. Since 1996, IBM has had a corporate wide energy conservation goal which currently requires IBM's business units to reduce or avoid 3.5 percent of the current year's energy use. IBM considers its energy conservation goal to be its "first generation" CO2 emissions reduction goal since energy use reductions result in the reduction of CO2 emissions associated with the use of fuels and electricity. In aggregate, IBM's energy conservation program has reduced or avoided annualized CO2 emissions of 4 million metric tons from 1990 to 2013, an amount equivalent to 59 percent of IBM's global CO2 emissions in 1990. Changes due to acquisitions, divestitures and downsizing are not included in those results; they represent the benefits of the many energy conservation and efficiency projects implemented for over two decades across our operations.
In 2006, IBM established a second generation goal, which set an absolute operational CO2 emissions reduction objective. Between 1990 and 2005, IBM reduced or avoided CO2 emissions by an amount equivalent to 40 percent of its 1990 emissions through its global energy conservation program. To further extend this achievement, IBM set itself an aggressive "second generation" goal: to reduce the CO2 emissions associated with its energy use 12 percent by 2012 against a 2005 base year through energy conservation and the procurement of renewable energy.
IBM met its second generation climate protection goal in 2012, reducing our operational CO2 emissions by 15.7 percent against the 2005 baseline.
IBM's operational CO2 emissions, those associated with IBM's use of fuel and electricity at its locations, were reduced 10.6 percent from 2012 to 2013. There were three key factors that drove this year-to-year reduction:
- IBM's energy conservation efforts drove reductions in electricity use for the second year in a row. Electricity use was reduced by 3.1 percent year-to-year as a result of the energy conservation work discussed earlier in this report, resulting in a decrease in CO2 emissions of 2.8 percent.
- The CO2 emissions factors associated with our electricity purchases at several locations were reduced as a result of a change in electricity suppliers and/or a change in the mix of generation sources supplying the locations. These changes contributed to a reduction of approximately 6.7 percent in the CO2 emissions inventory.
- The increase in the amount of renewable energy IBM procured in 2013, discussed above, resulted in a reduction of 1.1 percent in the CO2 emissions inventory.
The significant reductions achieved in the 2013 operational CO2 inventory are indicative of IBM's continued commitment to addressing the challenges of climate change through energy conservation initiatives and the procurement of renewable energy for its operations.
- IBM's energy conservation efforts have reduced or avoided a total of 1.83 million MWh of electricity and 2.9 million MMBtu of fuel use (based on one-year savings associated with conservation projects) from 2006 to 2012, which resulted in a reduction in IBM's electricity and fuel use by 2.3 percent and 25.9 percent, respectively, against the 2005 baseline use adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures.
- IBM's direct purchases of electricity generated from renewable sources, i.e., beyond that supplied through grid-purchased electricity, and the associated CO2 avoidance, increased by a factor of 3.8 from 2005 to 2012.
- An increase in the amount of renewable energy IBM procured as part of the grid-supplied electricity between 2005 and 2012. This is evident as the average grid emissions factor for IBM electricity purchases reduced from 0.45 metric tons CO2/MWh in 2005 to 0.43 metric tons CO2/MWh in 2012, as reported by the International Energy Administration and the U.S. (EPA). This increase is the result of higher percentages of wind, solar and natural gas generation and lower levels of coal (in some jurisdictions) in the mix of grid generation.
Reducing PFC emissions
IBM releases some perfluorocompounds (PFCs) from its semiconductor manufacturing operations. Although the releases are in relatively small amounts (in carbon dioxide equivalents, when compared to the company's indirect CO2 emissions), IBM was the first semiconductor manufacturer to set a numeric reduction target for PFCs in 1998 and was one of the industry leaders in Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and EPA collaboration for voluntary industry emissions reporting and reduction initiatives. This collaboration resulted in two Memorandums of Understanding:
- 1996 - Signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with U.S. EPA to voluntarily reduce PFC emissions from semiconductor manufacturing processes. IBM expanded its commitment under the MOU, setting its first goal to reduce PFC emissions by 40% by 2002 indexed to production against the 1995 baseline.
- 2002 - Signed second MOU with U.S. EPA, which commits the industry to an absolute reduction of 10% in PFC emissions by 2010 against the 1995 baseline.
After completion of our first corporate goal in 2002, we set a second generation goal to achieve an absolute reduction in PFC emissions from semiconductor manufacturing of 25 percent by 2010 against a base year of 1995. We exceeded this goal by reducing IBM's PFC emissions by 36.5 percent at year-end 2010. Two key PFC reduction approaches enabled us to exceed the goal commitment.
- IBM's 300 mm manufacturing facility abates all significant sources of PFC emissions, minimizing the emissions from the manufacturing operations.
- IBM's 200 mm manufacturing facility has been an industry leader in developing and implementing chemical substitution alternatives to reduce PFC emissions. The facility pioneered the conversion of selected equipment chamber clean processes from C2F6, a gas with an average utilization of 30 to 40 percent, to NF3 which is utilized at greater than 95 percent, significantly reducing emissions. The facility has also implemented substitutions with C4F8, which has better utilization rates and a lower Global Warming Potential.
We continue to take actions to reduce our PFC emissions and monitor performance. Our PFC emissions were 194,300 MT of CO2e, a reduction of 12.7 percent from 2010. The IBM semiconductor manufacturing plant in Vermont continued to convert from C2F6 to C4F8 on selected chamber cleaning processes, accounting for approximately half of the reductions. The other half of the reductions can be attributed to reduced production for the year due to current market conditions.
IBM also monitors three other materials with global warming potentials that are used in connection with manufacturing, lab and office operations: 1) nitrous oxide (N2O), which is used in manufacturing semiconductors but has a lower global warming potential than PFC gases; 2) heat transfer fluids (HTFs) that are primarily used in tool-specific chiller units associated with manufacturing and lab processes; and 3) HFCs which are used in chiller units used to cool manufacturing, lab, or office space.
IBM continues to evaluate replacements for the HTFs that have lower volatility and global warming potential. IBM has achieved reductions in these emissions through the use of lower GHG-emitting materials in some test operations and through the installation of solid-state chillers on some semiconductor equipment.
Using absolute metrics to assess GHG reductions
IBM uses absolute metrics as opposed to intensity metrics to assess the effectiveness of its GHG emissions reductions programs. We do not establish intensity metrics against which to assess our progress toward emissions reductions because the diverse nature of IBM's business activities precludes the development of a meaningful correlation between IBM's emissions and activities, and typical emissions normalizers such as revenue, employee population or a measure of output. IBM's diverse range of business activities include, but are not limited to, software labs, consulting services, data center operations, data center services, hardware design, hardware manufacturing and assembly, and semiconductor manufacturing. Often, these activities are co-located at a single facility. There is no effective methodology to disaggregate operations or to allocate the overhead energy use and GHG emissions associated with centralized activities.

Comment: Re:Don't learn from the past. (Score 1) 66 66
Mobile phones have very powerful magnets in their speakers and they don't usually cause problems like that, do they? Maybe they have very good mu-metal shields in the sepakers.
That is valid concern but, as far as I know, magnetic cards are mostly being replaced with smartcards or RFID, that might not be an issue in a couple of years. I've not used the magnetic stripes in my cards in a long time, the ICs are so cheap and functional that using smartcards or RFID instead of magnetic stripe is a no-brainer in most applications.

Sephora.com is the single largest prestige-beauty door in the world, but it is definitely not content to rest on its considerable megabytes. Like that famous car-rental company, they try harder. Case in point: In April, Sephora relaunched its Web site, with optimized search and personalization functions, improved visuals, an enriched Beauty Insider area and a streamlined checkout feature, among other upgrades. Most ingenuous was Sephora's seamless integration of brick-and-mortar and digital. For example, Skincare IQ, an in-store and online diagnostic tool designed to help consumers navigate through the retailer's treatment assortment, became truly feasible to create, thanks to product attribute tags (up to 25 for each item) that the company developed for the Web site. Said Julie Bornstein, senior vice president of digital, earlier this year, "As we started rebuilding sephora.com, the focus was to build something that has tremendous flexibility and intelligence at the core, so that you can change locations and interfaces and devices and create a useful consumer experience." No help desk needed here.
