Great place to visit! It is pretty big, though, so plan for enough time. Plan a stay at Rocky Harbour, on the west coast, and visit Gros Morne NP. Go up to Saint Anthony's, and enjoy the whale watching, and visit L'Anse-Aux-Meadows from there. Stick to the coast as you go east, and stop for a few days in Twillingate; look up Melvin Horvath while you're there.
Brigus, on the east side, has some gorgeous scenery, and an archaeological dig which you can visit.
If you're driving, watch out for the Newfie Speed-Bumps (moose)!

Description: This 2xAA battery holder puts a nice finishing touch on your battery powered project. This holder features a removable, sliding cover, which is secured with a small Phillips head screw. Another bonus is the ON/OFF switch which can be used to control power to your project.
The leads are about 150mm and are terminated with a JST connector.
Dimensions: 67.9 x 32.8 x 18.25mm
I was planning on just soldering the leads directly to my PCB. Crazy how this is the same price as the holder w/o a JST connector. JST connectors by themselves are like a buck a piece. Maybe it's a good idea to order these and clip the JST off and save it for something else?
Will I be able to use the breadboard jumper cables with male pins with the JSB connector?
Is the holder itself the same as this one?

Unfortunately, I am not the end user of this product so I couldn't provide a valuable feed back. I only process the ordering for my Newark.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|Look up -ism in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
-ism is a suffix in many English words, originally derived from Ancient Greek -ισμός (-ismos), reaching English through Latin, via French.[1] It is often used in philosophy to define specific ideologies, and, as such, at times it is used as a noun when referring to a broad range of ideologies in a general sense.[2] The suffix 'ism' qua ism is neutral and therefore bears no connotations associated with any of the many ideologies it has been appended to; such determinations can only be informed by public opinion regarding specific ideologies.
For examples of the use of -ism as a suffix see the following:

1997 Ford Ranger Q&A
1997 Ford Ranger Question: Check Engine Light still on
I have had an ongoing problem. I have had the codes 171 & 174 for the last few months. I got printouts for these codes, and replaced first the MAS, then the 3 oxygen sensors. I reset the computer and still get the codes. sometimes it is only 171 after reset, other times it is both. One of my mechanic friends said I probably have a intake gasket leak. Is that the next most likely cause? - seekermm
2 Answers
Answer 1
it is such a shame that you had to spend so much money and not have your problem repaired. You could very well have an intake vacuum leak. Check your Long Term Fuel Trim and compare banks. If it is an intake leak, one side will be higher than the other. Also, the injector pulse width will vary by 3-4 milli seconds bank to bank, because one side is allowing more air in than the other due to the leak. Be sure to check the manifold, if you take it off, to make sure it doesn't have any leaking areas in any of the runners and where they join the plenum. - dandd
Answer 2
I also have a '97 ranger with a v6 and had the same codes coming up. I did all the checks, replaced maf, redid intake gaskets and injector o-rings. NOT my trouble. My problem was a hole was rusted in the pipe going from the egr valve to the intake plenum. It was right behind the valve on the bottom side of the pipe. I had to use a small mirror to see. I found it accidentally. I repaired the pipe and all has been fine since. An intake leak can come from any area where there is suction from the intake. - boyd

Citizens inspect the site of a car bomb attack while security forces tow away a destroyed bus in Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2014. (AP Photo/Karim Kadim)
BAGHDAD: Two car bombs killed 12 people in Baghdad on Tuesday and Sunni Muslim militants staged coordinated attacks near the western city of Falluja, destroying two tanks and capturing a police station, police said.
A suicide bomber in an explosives-laden fuel tanker blew it up under a highway bridge near Falluja, causing the bridge to collapse and destroying one of two army tanks parked on top. Gunmen then attacked and destroyed the second tank.
Simultaneously, dozens of militants attacked a police station in the nearby town of Saqlawiya, forcing the police manning it to surrender. Army helicopters later attacked the gunmen in the captured police station.

The company said there had been 18 incidents involving the faulty dishwashers, which were sold under the Hotpoint and Indesit brands and made predominantly between 2008 and 2010.
Customers who have registered their machines will receive a letter from the manufacturers explaining how to check if their dishwasher is being recalled.
The company is urging customers to get in contact to arrange a visit by an engineer if the machine carries the model number FDW70, FDW75, FDW80 or FDW85A with a serial number between S/N 50401 and S/N 80531.
The new recall is separate from that announced in May affecting 283,000 Hotpoint dishwashers made between 1999 and 2005.
The company said: "As the leading white goods manufacturer, Indesit Company continually monitors the specification and performance of its products.
"We have identified that there is a low risk that a component fitted to a limited number of Hotpoint and Indesit dishwashers manufactured predominantly between January 2008 and July 2010 sold in the UK that may cause overheating and are in rare cases a potential fire hazard."

Re: Rain Saturated Oven
I guess the ONE good sign since I found things so wet.....I used vermicrete for my hearth insulation and even though I have had water literally dripping out of all four side of my support slab/insulating slab....the oven has NOT sunk down into the vermicrete. This stuff must hold up pretty well. That was my greatest fear at the time (along with the loud cursing my neighbors children might have heard.. I still have another round of all day scarry firing to drive out more water, then I am hoping things will be good again after use of the tarp.
Frances, that sounds exactly how my oven reacted all of last yr. - Sluggish to worm up. Now that this has happenend, I'm left wondering if the sluggishness was the start of something worse to come. we had our typical daily rains for the oast two yrs, thistime around the rains/wind were longerperiods, with monsoon like horizontal rains attacking my ove from a different direction each day'.
The tarp is the near solution, some type of roofing systm will go up this fall/winter. I plan to try and work around the mosaic, just a simple basic roof structure that extends over the enty. if it looks too tacky, I will turn it into a full "house" style - hiding the month long mosaic job, not what I want, but i gotta keek that rain out.
Re: Rain Saturated Oven
Hi RT
Sorry to hear about your flooding problems. The horizontal rains have been a worry of mine too. How often do you use your oven this time of year? Also do you use it in the rain and have you seen any adverse effects to the structure from this?
Re: Rain Saturated Oven
I've had the same symptons and issues with my oven this year. I had friends coming over on Saturday, but didn't know what time, so I fired up the oven early. About 3 or so hours into the firing, I noticed moisture where the chimney & concrete roof meet, then another 1/2 hour or so I saw a large wet spot on the side. Looked on the opposite side and the bricks were wet and starting to steam. I have blanket insulation plus the sides are filled with vermicrete, approx 5". I'm thinking of a roof also, just don't know how to incorporate the design.
Re: Rain Saturated Oven
Larry, I'm down to once a month, probably until Oct. Just too damn hot/humid during the summer, really takes the fun out of using the oven; throw in the threat of rain, and you can't plan on anything.
I have used it in light rain with no ill effects, my oven is somewhat shielded (big palm and oak tree and right next to my screen enclosure). but any driving rain coming from the S or SE goes straight into the entry, even with both doors in place. Let water get to one firebrick and they all suck up water faster than a SHAMWOW.
The cover works great, covered the oven up last night, then we had serious Tstorms about 4 am this morning (at least 1-2" or rain). not a drop made it into the oven.....not so hard to open it up to check, but it will be a pain removing/folding when I want to use it.
Re: Rain Saturated Oven
Hi RT - how do you situate your cover? Is it just over the opening or over the entire oven? (I'm trying to figure out how I will cover my igloo, which is still under construction.)
Also, you mentioned that the cover was just a temporary solution; is that because it's a hassle, or for aesthetic reasons, or for some other reason?
p.s. Your oven is gorgeous. It's one of the most unique on the board. Very, very impressive.
Re: Rain Saturated Oven
Stephen, thanks for the compliment.
To answer your questions:
Initially, I planned to only make a cover for the arch/entry that would wrap around the Duravent pipe. Not being 100% certain water was not getting in somewhere else, I decided to cove the whole thing...to just below the hearth slab level.
I measured and found that a 10' x 12' heavy duty tarp that is silver on on side , brown on the other would fit perfectly.....a little more eye appealing than the construction site "my roof is gone" blue tarps. I then measured how far up from the bottom of the hearth slab the Duravent is, cut a slit in the tarp as well a hole about 1" larger than the Duravent pipe. I then used self stick velcro strips on the two flaps created by slitting the tarp and placed self stick 1/2" rubber weather stripping around the underside edge of the hole that I cut out. Slide the tarp up from behind, around the pipe, and overlap the flaps.
Rather than bungee cords or tarp straps, I laced rope through the tarp eyelets allowing me to cinch it around my oven's "waist" to keep it from blowing off in high winds. only takes a minute to open in up and slide it off the back side. I'm pretty sure I will completely remove it for fall/winter/spring, the REALLY heavy rains are few and far between then.
It really is effective, but my oven "is what it is" for aesthetic reasons...I really don't want it covered with a tarp for 4-5 months a yr. Some how, some way, I am going to come up with a permanent roof system or cover that will still show off the mosaic and keep the torrential rains out. Thats the plan, and any construction/altering will have to wait until it cools down and is dryer during the winter.
Re: Rain Saturated Oven
Bringing this thread back to life, since I have finally made a decision as to how I can avoid a complete saturation again.
I have thought, rethought, thought some more, looked at hundreds of pictures (AGAIN), and finally decided I just can't build an enclosure...its just not me, or the vision I have always had for my oven. I'm sticking with my igloo, just resurfacing/refacing from the support slab up.
Here is the plan, feel free to say it won't work or is a waste of time/money, but I am moving forward having bought the materials and procrastinated long enough (not to mention my tarp is getting ratty looking after nearly 6 months).
1) Covering the entire dome and entry with an additional 1" of blanket and applying rigidizer - not messing with chicken wire or wire mesh for this added layer. (since I know an all day fire can heat the top exterior of the dome to about 140 degrees I think an additional 1" is necessary to protect step 2)
2) I will apply a water tight moisture barrier to the entire dome, existing entry arch and extend down covering the top side of the cantilever hearth. This will consist of a single piece of 20 mil PVC pond liner which I hope will act in the same way as a shower pan liner (thats where I thought of the idea). I will stop short of using the PVC liner on the front facia of the oven, I think this area will still be too hot.
3) I will pour a concrete counter top on the top of the cantilever around the entire dome, over the pvc membrane. Ground and polished (my first attempt at this). This will bring the entire surface up to the level of my hearth firebricks.
4) New front/entry facia. Sorry to say, the mosaic flames and exposed firebrick will be covered by a new fired clay paver arch and facia that will include a stone ledge/shroud that will overhang the entry (hopefully giving a little more protection from rain getting in the entry)
5) A new "tiger stripe" stone finish over the PVC liner and added insulation - recovering the entire dome, no more blue tile mosaic. These are really cool looking tumbled (polished) stones (2-3" in diameter), I will set in Type S or Type N mortar (whichever I have in my garage).
I'm pretty certain no one has attempted any kind of waterproof membrane over an igloo, uncharted waters (pun intended). I have taken every precaution over the past 5-6 months, my oven is completely dry - been fired at least once a week for the past two months, so I know there is not any water that still needs driven out. If the plan fails, I'm only out $200 for the new materials and I will probably blow up the whole oven and buy one of James' modulars and build a stone enclosure.
This is an experiment, and since I am currently out of projects (my wife won't let me alter anything else), I going to wing it and see what happens.
Pictures to follow (hopefully I get started next weekend)
Re: Rain Saturated Oven
RT - I covered my igloo w/ an acrylic stucco. It's only on it's second winter of fire and Ice but I see no problems. I do put a piece of tile over the vent entry to keep the rain/snow from entering the flu. Not so much from an avoid damage point - it just makes a mess when the carbon runs down onto the entry way. I think your idea will work - just seems like a lot of work to avoid a simple thing like rain.

Re: Rain Saturated Oven
I sympathise with you as I have a similar situation to you. My Pompeii is under the edge of the new outdoor kitchen patio and with no gutter on the roof (as I want the water to run into the garden and then overflow through the underground drain out into the street). However, since the oven is built into the garden on top of a retaining wall, and I haven't yet finished the drainage behind and around the oven, it sometimes gets wet and I find out when lighting the fire for an important event, like Christmas dinner!
Like you, it up to me to get off my a*** and just get it done. I need to extend the rood by a metre and put in the drain to take any water that falls anywhere near it away.
Only got myself to blame!
Prevention is better than cure, - do it right the first time!

Re: Rain Saturated Oven
Les, I'm pretty certain my problem is the result of my exposed firebricks around the entry arch and the hearth. It only rains horizontally here in the summer (or appears to), so I really need to do something with the entry facia.
The initial saturation was so bad that I thought the oven would collapse due to my vermicrete hearth insulation being so saturated. It took 2 days just to keep a fire lit, 2 weeks before the support slab stopped weeping.....pretty serious amount of water.
Since I have to address the facia issue, it makes sense to seal up the dome - not to mention trying to blend the "old dome" with the new facia, which would be just as much trouble.
As I said, it is an experiment and something that will keep me busy for a couple of weekends.
My problem is my "vision". The first functional WFOs I saw were in Naples several years ago - mosaic tile igloos; ever since, that has been my idea of an authentic WFO. With unlimited resources I could build an enclosure that I would like; sorry to say, that was not the case before and is not the case today...but the $200 I just spent I can handle.
My advice to anyone building in a high moisture climate (rain or snow) - build an enclosure and protect your entry (or invest in a tarp manufacturer).

An economic reality check is putting the stock market rally back on hold.
Stocks ended mixed but little changed as unease over a weak consumer confidence was offset by an improvement in home prices. The Conference Board said confidence declined more than expected in July.
Investors worried that consumers' waning confidence and the rising unemployment rate would hamper the economy's ability to rebound from the longest recession since World War II. Decent demand at a government debt auction helped stocks pare their losses.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 11.79, or 0.1%, to 9,096.72 after being down as much as 101 points. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 2.56, or 0.3%, to 979.62. The Nasdaq composite index rose 7.62, or 0.4%, to 1,975.51 after several technology companies announced acquisitions
If consumers don't step up spending, companies will find it hard to boost revenue. The recent string of stronger corporate profits have come from deep cost-cutting, which can only be used to lift earnings for so long.
But even without the consumer confidence report, analysts have been anticipating some pullback after the market soared 11% in just two weeks on surprisingly strong corporate profit reports. The latest run restarted a rally that began in March but faltered in mid-June on lackluster economic data.
Corporate earnings reports were mixed and left investors cautious. Office Depot said its second-quarter loss widened and results fell short of analysts' expectations and luxury handbag maker Coach said shoppers showed up at factory outlet stores but held off buying pricier items at U.S. department stores.
The third upbeat reading on the housing market since last week helped temper the market's disappointment. The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price index indicated that home prices posted their first monthly increase since the summer of 2006. Prices in major metropolitan markets rose 0.5% in May from April.
The report is the latest since last week to signal that home sales are stabilizing.
Adam Gould, senior portfolio manager at Direxion Funds in New York, said the recent earnings and economic data had lifted investors' expectations too quickly.
"The sentiment has changed from expecting the worst a couple of weeks ago and being pleasantly surprised to expecting good things now and being disappointed," he said.
Four stocks fell for every two that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 694.6 million shares, compared with 574 million shares traded at the same point Monday.
Investors were relieved after a Treasury Department auction of two-year notes generated sufficient demand. The yield on the two-year note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 1.08% from 1.05% late Monday. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 3.70% from 3.73%.
Investors are anxious about government debt auctions because if demand falters Washington could have to entice buyers with higher interest rates. That could hurt an economic rebound.
On Monday, stocks posted small gains after investors grappled with mixed earnings and economic reports. The market also logged a modest advance Friday.
Even with the selling Tuesday the stock market's rally appears intact. That is a sign that even many cautious investors aren't willing to pull out of stocks for fear of missing another leg of the rally.

Re: SPDIF Out on X-Fi to SPDIF In on nVidia cards
Just to update this thread with new information (new to me anyway)... my original post showing where to connect for SPDIF Out is indeed correct. It needs to be on pins 7 and 9. It's true that you only get two channel audio with the basic driver setup on the X-Fi. The way to get 5.1 channel audio is to use Creatives Dolby Digital DTS Bitstream out with the Dolby Digital Live encoder. I've tried it out recently and I must say I'm very impressed. Not only do you get 5.1 channel audio, but X-Fi CMSS-3D and X-Fi Crystalizer work great with it. The only downside is Creative makes you pay extra to activate the Dolby software. It's just one way for Creative to ring more money out of you, but it's worth the $5 Creative charges you. I've tried 2 channel audio with the encoder and even that sounds much better than the standard 2 channel audio you get by default. If you are going to use the digital output on the X-Fi, I would suggest also downloading and activating the Dolby software to go along with it.

+ - Could a nuclear-armed Iran be contained?->
Submitted by Lasrick
Lasrick writes: Kingston Reif with a thoughtful, and controversial, article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, asking whether Obama has made a long-term error in declaring that the US will not tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran. Comparisons are drawn between the Iranian crisis and JFK's response in the Cuban Missile Crisis (50th anniversary of which is this year). Great piece, provocative thinking.

Puka Beach, Boracay Island
10 Reviews
10 Reviews
Everyone's Dream of Island Paradise means Powdery White Sand Beach, Crystal Clear Azure Blue or Green Waters and EMPTY! (no commercial establishments!) and deserted talcum white and powdery white sand beaches!
well most of the Famous Beaches of the world have the first 2 but not the last one but boracay has a beach area that clings to this notion of Island Paradise, it it PUKA BEACH! This is where locals gather the small puka shells for some of the jewelry that is sold on the island so expect the sand to be more coarse than on White Beach. The water tends to be a little rougher on this side of the island but it is much quieter and again NO COMMERCIALISM! so this is you private retreat! You can go to Puka Beach via Tricycle of by Paraw Boats that you rent in Boracay.
I liked this beach more than White Beach.
First of all, almost no one was there. There were a few touts selling the puka shells for not too expensive. I said no thanks.
The sand is a little rougher but the beach is deep (not wide) and the water gets deep fast. The waves are semi-strong and the water went over my head after I walked less than 10 metres into the water. The water was cool and quite clean.
There are some rocks on the side of the beach that could be used for shade from the sun.
There is one local restaurant/cafe right on the beach selling drinks for super cheap. They are friendly and even offered me boat tours for a highly discounted price.
This quiet beach is made of tiny white puka shells thus the name derived. Situated at the northwest of the island and can be reached by bancas( motorboats ) or by motorbikes from the hilly side. Be sure you are a great adventurer if you will do the latter. By boat, takes only about 30 minutes but sometimes there are big waves so it may take more . Have your lunch here. You might be lucky enough when you get very fresh lobster on your plate. For dessert, fresh mangoes and young coconut are the best. Spend the whole afternoon and enjoy its uncrowdedness before going back to White Beach. Our last visit was on April 2008.
My husband and I just went to Boracay (March 21st, 2009) and stayed at the One MGM. The resort was beautiful and quiet just off the beach. I would recommend:
1. Renting a boat to tour the island. This takes about 4 hours but you stop at Puka beach for lunch. However, I would steer clear of the crystal caves. This is nothing but a tourist trap. You have to pay 150 pesos pp (which I know is nothing) but the cave is very small and swarming with tourists. There are no fish when you snorkel out of the cave and the coral is completely damaged and just looks like rocks. It is a total waste of time.
2. Puka Beach was by far the best beach, followed by White Beach near station 1 and Willy's Rock. I am not a fan of lots of seaweed and there was quite a buildup of it along the beach near stations 2 and 3 which also took away from the beautiful photos.
3. Rent a trike to go to Mt. Luho, the lookout pt on the island. It was only about 300 pesos and he took us all over. The view is amazing, you can see the entire outline of the small island!!
4. Get a massage on the beach. It only costs 350 pesos for an hour. I had one at sunset on my last night there and it was absolutely amazing!! Its like they were just giving away free massages at that price!!
Gone island-hopping and snorkelling on a boat around Boracay Island, we made a rest stop and did dive-and-swim at Puka Beach at the northern coast of Boracay. Puka Beach is same clear water and white sand (but not as fine) as in White Beach. And contrastingly not crowded considering this side is far from the touristy part of the island. If you enjoy solitude and away from the madenning crowd, this secluded place is it.
There are houses and stores at the far end of the beach, so better bring food and water provision.
Puka beach is a lot different now with lots of stalls and restos to dine in.We ate at the Puka Grande right infront of the beach.Way back, you need to travel by boat to reach Puka after snorkling but now its just 10-15 mins away by tricycle with paved roads! And you don't have to spend a lot for a boat ride to see puka ,just a few hundreds around 150 to reach it.See how progressive Boracay is?But from the boat,if your lucky,you'll be able to see the flying bats that looked to me like eagles,so no need to go to the bat cave,batman!
The name is because of the puka shells found in this beach. There were people selling puka shells in necklace, etc. My cousin bought a necklace for 300 pesos. Wish I took a picture. Next time. Anwyay Puka beach is not ideal for non swimmers because the "incline" or degree of drop of the beach is more than in White Beach (where you can walk for probably 30+ yards and your head is still not under the water).
Boating - Try to haggle prices when you rent a boat. For a boat good for about 4 people, this will cost about P1,000. Do not pay more than this. This rate will last you about 4 hours. You can snorkel at Crocodile Island, visit Laurel island and Puka Shell Beach.
Massage - If you have the knack for this, try their island massage where authentic coconut oil is used. P300 if done in the beach while this would cost P350 if done in the hotel room. Takes about 45min-1hour. Suggest you have this done in teh sand by the beach for a more island feel.
Full day Island Tour - May cost about P500 that includes use of snorkels, barbeque lunch and round the island tour. Lasts about 6 hours starting at about 10am. There are booking stations along the beach road.
For Parasalining, banana boat rides, jetskis, canoeing, kayaking, etc. you can book these right there by the beach.
Beachcombing is the specialty of this beach...
You might just find that perfect shell pendant you've been looking for...
boating is never complete w/o going to the puka beach...i suggest you take your lunch here..and eat at tesebel's..u can also pick up some famous puka shells here..

News articles on greenhouse gas emissions
Mongabay.com news articles on greenhouse gas emissions in blog format. Updated regularly.
CO2 concentrations hit new high last year
(11/06/2013) The concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere hit a record high last year, according to a new report by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). While this was not a surprise given still-rising global emissions, the concentration rose significantly more than the average this decade. According to the WMO's annual greenhouse gas bulletin, CO2 concentrations hit 393.1 parts per million (ppm) in 2012.
Zoos join fossil fuel divestment movement
(11/05/2013) Last month, over a hundred representatives from zoos and aquariums around the world joined climate activism group, 350.org, pledging that their institutions would take action against global warming, including the possibility of divesting from fossil fuel companies. The effort, dubbed Zoos and Aquariums for 350, was launched during the annual meeting of the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group (CBSG).
'Remarkable year': could 2012 mark the beginning of a carbon emissions slowdown?
(10/31/2013) Global carbon dioxide emissions hit another new record of 34.5 billion tons last year, according to a new report by the Netherlands Environment Assessment Agency and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, but there may be a silver lining. Dubbing 2012 a "remarkable year," the report found that the rate of carbon emission's rise slowed considerably even as economic growth continued upward.
France upholds nationwide ban on fracking
(10/14/2013) France's landmark ban on fracking has survived constitutional challenges lobbed by U.S.-company, Schuepbach Energy. On Friday, the nation's Constitutional Council decided that the ban did not violate France's constitution. Passed in 2011 under then President Nicolas Sarkozy, the ban has since been upheld by current President Francios Hollande.
Clock is ticking on fossil fuels: for first time IPCC scientists outline global carbon budget
(10/01/2013) The world's leading climate scientists have set out in detail for the first time how much more carbon dioxide humans can pour into the atmosphere without triggering dangerous levels of climate change—and concluded that more than half of that global allowance has been used up.
Global society must leave fossil fuels in the ground, unburnt, says top official
(09/26/2013) World governments must get used to the idea of leaving fossil fuel reserves in the ground unexploited and unburned, one of the world's most senior diplomats has said, ahead of a landmark report on climate science to be unveiled this Friday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The former Irish president and UN high commissioner for human rights, Mary Robinson, is to spearhead a new international push aimed at breaking the climate talks deadlock and silencing skeptics, with a group of senior diplomats and politicians from around the world.
African grass could substantially cut greenhouse gas emissions from livestock industry
(09/17/2013) Scientists will call for a major push this week to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture through the use of a modified tropical grass. Brachiaria grasses have been found to inhibit the release of nitrous oxide, which has a more powerful warming effect than carbon dioxide or methane, leading them to be called a super grass.
China punishes top oil companies for failing to clean up their acts
(09/03/2013) China's top two oil companies have been penalized for missing pollution targets, reports China Central Television (CCTV). The Ministry of Environmental Protection has suspended all refinery projects for China National Petroleum Corporation (CPNC) and the China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) until they meet their pollution targets. The move is a part of a wider crackdown on pollution across China, which has suffered from record air pollution.
Bad feedback: ocean acidification to worsen global warming
(08/28/2013) As if ocean acidification and climate change weren't troubling enough (both of which are caused by still-rising carbon emissions), new research published in Nature finds that ocean acidification will eventually exacerbate global warming, further raising the Earth's temperature.
Yasuni could still be spared oil drilling
(08/26/2013) When Ecuadorean President, Rafael Correa, announced on August 15th that he was abandoning an innovative program to spare three blocs of Yasuni National Park from oil drilling, it seemed like the world had tossed away its most biodiverse ecosystem. However, environmental groups and activists quickly responded that there may be another way to keep oil companies out of Yasuni's Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini (ITT) blocs: a national referendum.
China pledges $275 billion over 5 years to cut record air pollution
(08/19/2013) Last week China announced it was going to spend over a quarter of a trillion dollars ($275 billion) to fight rampant and life-threatening pollution in its urban centers over the next five years. Recent decades of unparalleled economic growth has taken a drastic environmental toll in China, including record air pollution levels in Beijing. The announcement follows other news, including that the Chinese government has recently scrapped a massive 2,000 megawatt coal plant project near the cities of Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
Foodies eat lab-grown burger that could change the world
(08/06/2013) Yesterday at a press event in London, two food writers took a bite into the world's most unusual hamburger. Grown meticulously from cow stem cells, the hamburger patty represents the dream (or pipedream) of many animal rights activists and environmentalists. The burger was developed by Physiologist Mark Post of Maastricht University and funded by Google co-founder Sergey Brin in an effort to create real meat without the corresponding environmental toll.
Drastic cuts to greenhouse gases could save hundreds of U.S. cities from watery grave
(08/01/2013) More than 1,700 American cities and towns – including Boston, New York, and Miami – are at greater risk from rising sea levels than previously feared, a new study has found. By 2100, the future of at least part of these 1,700 locations will be "locked in" by greenhouse gas emissions built up in the atmosphere, the analysis published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday found.
Campaign contributions suggest dead-end for Congressional action on climate
(06/26/2013) Sources of campaign contributions to members of Senate suggest Congress will be unlikely to take action on comprehensive climate legislation, indicates data collected by MapLight, a group that tracks money's influence on politics.
After long wait, Obama lays out fight against climate change
(06/25/2013) Five years after being elected president and six months after winning a second term, President Obama today gave his first speech devoted solely to climate change and announced several executive actions to begin weaning the United States (historically the largest emitter of greenhouse gases) off fossil fuels. At Georgetown University today, Obama stated that his administration would expand renewable energy projects on federal lands, raise energy efficiency standards on appliances, and, most importantly, limit carbon pollution from both existing and new power plants, which represent about 40 percent of the U.S.'s emissions. Obama also noted that the U.S. would spearhead global efforts to combat climate change which is pushing sea levels higher, melting glaciers and sea ice, exacerbating fires, imperiling species, and worsening extreme weather worldwide.
Logging may destabilize carbon in forest soils
(06/14/2013) Logging in temperate zones may release more greenhouse gases than previously thought by destabilizing carbon stored in forest soils, argues a new paper published in the journal Global Change Biology-Bioenergy.
CO2 emissions hit record in 2012
(06/10/2013) Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels use hit a record in 2012, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Southern U.S. logging soars to meet foreign biofuel demand
(06/06/2013) In order to meet the European Union's goal of 20% renewables by 2020, some European utility companies are moving away from coal and replacing it with wood pellet fuel. The idea is simple: trees will regrow and recapture the carbon released in the burning of wood pellets, making the process supposedly carbon-neutral. But just like other simple ideas, it misses out important details that can turn it on its head.
Indonesia's largest coal plant will be built despite protests, minister says
(05/26/2013) Indonesia will go ahead with construction of what is set to be its largest coal-fired power plant in Batang, Central Java next year, a senior government official has said, downplaying opposition from environmental groups and the local community. Developers have struggled to acquire the approximately 200 hectares of land needed for the planned PLTU Batang plant, which would have a 2000 megawatt (MW) capacity. Residents of five villages have protested the project, with some refusing to release their land on fears of potential environmental damage to the area. Environmental groups also oppose the plant, saying it overlaps with a marine protected area and runs counter to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's commitment to reduce carbon emissions.
China to begin cutting carbon emissions one city at a time
(05/23/2013) China has unveiled details of its first pilot carbon-trading program, which will begin next month in the southern city of Shenzhen. The trading scheme will cover 638 companies responsible for 38% of the city's total emissions, the Shenzhen branch of the powerful National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced on Wednesday. The scheme will eventually expand to include transportation, manufacturing and construction companies.
Indigenous groups protest hydropower congress as controversy hits meeting in Malaysia
(05/22/2013) The opening of the International Hydropower Association (IHA) World Congress in the Malaysian state of Sarawak was marred today by indigenous protests and controversy after a local indigenous leader was barred from attending a pre-conference workshop. Over 300 people from local indigenous people protested the ongoing construction of around a dozen mega-dams in the state that threaten to flood traditional lands, force villages to move, and upend lives in the state. The Sarawak hydropower plans are some of the most controversial in the world—making the choice of Kuching, Sarawak for the IHA meeting an arguably ironic one—with critics contending that the dams are have been mired in political corruption, including kickbacks and bribes. IHA brings together dam builders, banks, and various related organizations worldwide every two years.
Canadian government drops over $16 million on advertising its tar sands
(05/16/2013) The Canadian government has nearly doubled its advertising spending to promote the Alberta tar sands in an aggressive new lobbying push ahead of Thursday's visit to New York by the prime minister, Stephen Harper. The Harper government has increased its advertising spending on the Alberta tar sands to $16.5m from $9m a year ago.
Eat insects to mitigate deforestation and climate change
(05/14/2013) A new 200-page-report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) urges human society to utilize an often-ignored, protein-rich, and ubiquitous food source: insects. While many in the industrialized west might turn up their noses at the idea of eating insects, already around 2 billion people worldwide eat over 1,900 species of insect, according to the FAO. Expanding insect-eating, the authors argue, may be one way to combat rising food needs, environmental degradation, and climate change.
Last time CO2 hit 400 ppm, temperature was 8C warmer, seas 40m higher than today
(05/12/2013) The future of a globally warmed world has been revealed in a remote meteorite crater in Siberia, where lake sediments recorded the strikingly balmy climate of the Arctic during the last period when greenhouse gas levels were as high as today.
A new world?: carbon dioxide concentrations in atmosphere hit 400 ppm
(05/11/2013) For the first time since homo sapiens evolved, concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have struck 400 parts per million (ppm) due to burning fossil fuels. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that readings of carbon dioxide at Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii hit the symbolic number on Thursday and are expected to continue rising in coming years. The last time concentrations were this high for a sustained period was 4-5 million years ago when sea levels were 5-40 meters higher than today and the poles were 10 degrees Celsius hotter. During this epoch, forests grew along the shores of the Arctic Ocean and coral reefs were almost wholly absent.
What if companies actually had to compensate society for environmental destruction?
(04/29/2013) The environment is a public good. We all share and depend on clean water, a stable atmosphere, and abundant biodiversity for survival, not to mention health and societal well-being. But under our current global economy, industries can often destroy and pollute the environment—degrading public health and communities—without paying adequate compensation to the public good. Economists call this process "externalizing costs," i.e. the cost of environmental degradation in many cases is borne by society, instead of the companies that cause it. A new report from TEEB (The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity), conducted by Trucost, highlights the scale of the problem: unpriced natural capital (i.e. that which is not taken into account by the global market) was worth $7.3 trillion in 2009, equal to 13 percent of that year's global economic output.
China to phase out super greenhouse gas
(04/24/2013) Some eight billion tonnes of greenhouse gases could be kept out of the atmosphere if China sticks to a deal with the United Nation's Montreal Protocol to eliminate the production of hydro-fluorocarbons (HCFCs). In return for phasing out HCFC production by 2030, the Multilateral Fund of the Montreal Protocol on Substances has promised China of funding up to $385 million.
RSPO failing to meet sustainability objectives for palm oil production, says WWF
(04/23/2013) An initiative that aims to improve the social and environmental performance of palm oil production is faltering in its mission by failing to establish strong performance standards on greenhouse gas emissions and pesticide use, argues a new statement issued by WWF, the initiative's biggest green supporter.
'Carbon bubble' could cause next global financial crisis
(04/22/2013) The world could be heading for a major economic crisis as stock markets inflate an investment bubble in fossil fuels to the tune of trillions of dollars, according to leading economists. "The financial crisis has shown what happens when risks accumulate unnoticed," said Lord (Nicholas) Stern, a professor at the London School of Economics. He said the risk was "very big indeed" and that almost all investors and regulators were failing to address it.
U.S. CO2 emissions fall to lowest level since 1994
(04/05/2013) Carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption in the United States during 2012 fell to the lowest level since 1994, finds a new report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a branch of the Department of Energy.
Proposed coal plant threatens Critically Endangered Philippine cockatoo
(04/02/2013) One kilometer off the Philippine island of Palawan lies the Rasa Island Wildlife Sanctuary; here forest grows unimpeded from a coral island surrounded by mangroves and coral reefs. Although tiny, over a hundred bird species have been recorded on the island along with a major population of large flying foxes, while in the waters below swim at least 130 species of coral fish, three types of marine turtles, and that curious-looking marine mammal, dugongs. Most importantly, perhaps, the island is home to the world's largest population of Philippine cockatoos (Cacatua haematuropygia), currently listed as Critically Endangered. But, although uninhabited by people, Rasa Island may soon be altered irrevocably by human impacts.
China may push geoengineering as solution to climate change
(03/26/2013) The political dilemma over geoengineering – deliberate, large-scale intervention in the climate system designed to counter global warming or offset some of its effects – will perhaps be most acute in China.
Near-record jump in carbon concentrations in global atmosphere last year
(03/06/2013) Carbon dioxide now makes up around 395 parts per million in the atmosphere, according to new data from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Measuring atmospheric carbon in Mauna Loa, Hawaii, the NOAA notes that last year saw a jump of 2.67 parts per million, second only to a record jump in carbon concentrations in 1998—2.93 parts per million. The news further dampens hopes that nations will stick to their goal of keeping global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.
Tokelau, 1st county with 100% renewable energy, leads call for climate action
(03/02/2013) The tiny territory of Tokelau is today leading a call by 14 Pacific island nations for the world to take action to stop climate change.
Good news about climate change? Evolving technology could make cleaning the air more profitable than fouling it
(02/26/2013) In the wake of the hottest and driest summer in memory throughout much of North America, and Super-storm Sandy that flooded cities and ravaged large swaths of the Mid-Atlantic coast, many now recognize that the climate change isn't just real, but that it is already at our doorstep. As this realization continues to sink in, the political will may ripen to take more aggressive action to put a brake CO2 emissions. Already, President Obama, who had remained mostly silent on the issue during his reelection campaign, has made it clear that tackling climate change will be among his top second-term priorities. But the fact remains that even if the entire world switched magically to 100 percent solar and other non-polluting power sources tomorrow, it's too late to roll back some of the impacts of climate change.
Rise in 1.5 degrees Celsius likely to spark massive greenhouse gas release from permafrost
(02/25/2013) While nations around the world have committed to keeping temperatures from rising 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above the pre-industrial era, new research published in Science suggests that the global climate could hit a tipping point at just 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.5 degrees Fahrenheit). Studying cave stalactites and stalagmites in Siberia, scientists found that at about 1.5 degrees Celsius the Siberian permafrost melts, potentially releasing a greenhouse gas bomb of 1,000 giga-tonnes, according to some experts.
Deforestation, wetlands loss in Brazil and Indonesia generated 45b tons of CO2 in 20 years
(02/22/2013) The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has launched a global set of statistics on carbon emissions from deforestation, agriculture and other forms of land use for the 1990-2010 period.
China to tax carbon emissions
(02/20/2013) China will introduce a carbon tax, reports official state media.
Over 35,000 march on Washington demanding climate action and rejection of Canada's 'carbon bomb'
(02/18/2013) Yesterday over 35,000 people rallied in Washington D.C. for urgent action on climate change, which, according to organizers, was the largest climate march in U.S. history. Activists called on the Obama Administration to do much more to tackle climate change, including rejecting the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would bring carbon-heavy tar sands oil from Canada through the U.S. to a world market.
Palm oil, paper, biofuels production on peatlands drive large GHG emissions
(01/31/2013) Degradation of peat swamps for oil palm and timber plantations is a substantially larger source of greenhouse gas emissions than previously believed, finds a new study published in the journal Nature.
Paradigm shift needed to avert global environmental collapse, according to author of new book The Blueprint: Averting Global Collapse
(01/10/2013) Global strategist, trained educator, and international lecturer Daniel Rirdan set out to create a plan addressing the future of our planet. His book The Blueprint: Averting Global Collapse, published this year, does just that. "It has been a sixty hour a week routine," Rirdan told mongabay.com in a recent interview. "Basically, I would wake up with the burden of the world on my shoulders and go to sleep with it. It went on like this for eighteen months." It becomes apparent when reading The Blueprint that it was indeed a monumental undertaking.
Climate Summit in Doha characterized by lack of ambition
(12/09/2012) Ahead of the 18th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Doha, Qatar a variety of reports warned that the world was running out of time to avoid dangerous climate change, and that there was a widening gap between what nations have pledged to do and what the science demanded. A landmark report by the World Bank painted an almost apocalyptic picture of a world in which global temperatures have risen 4 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, including unprecedented heatwaves and droughts, rising sea levels, global agriculture crises, and a stunning loss of species. In addition, scientific studies released near the two week conference found that sea levels were rising 60 percent faster than predicted, forests around the world were imperiled by increasing drought, marine snails were dissolving in the Southern Ocean due to ocean acidification, and ice melt in Greenland and Antarctica was on the rise.
Dams are rapidly damning the Amazon
(12/08/2012) Dam-builders seeking to unlock the hydroelectric potential of the Amazon are putting the world's mightiest river and rainforest at risk, suggests a new assessment that charts the rapid expansion of dams in the region.
Tropical deforestation emissions were 3 billion tons/yr from 2000-2005
(12/03/2012) Two prominent groups of researchers have reached a consensus estimate for emissions from tropical deforestation between 2000 and 2005.
With deforestation falling, energy sector to become Brazil's biggest CO2 source
(12/03/2012) With its annual rate of deforestation falling more than 80 percent since 2004, energy is set to soon become Brazil's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, reports a new study seen by Reuters.
'No-one is listening to the entire scientific community': global carbon emissions set to hit new high
(12/03/2012) Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial sources are set to hit a new record high this year according to a new analysis by Global Carbon Project. The analysis in Nature Climate Changes predicts that CO2 emissions will rise another 2.6 percent, hitting 35.6 billion tonnes. The scientists warn that such steep climbs in global emissions year-after-year means that the door is rapidly closing on a global agreement to keep temperatures from rising 2 degree Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.
Unique program to leave oil beneath Amazonian paradise raises $300 million
(11/26/2012) The Yasuni-ITT Initiative has been called many things: controversial, ecological blackmail, revolutionary, pioneering, and the best chance to keep oil companies out of Ecuador's Yasuni National Park. But now, after a number of ups and downs, the program is beginning to make good: the Yasuni-ITT Initiative has raised $300 million, according to the Guardian, or 8 percent of the total amount needed to fully fund the idea.
As Doha Climate Summit kicks off, more ambitious cuts to greenhouse gas emissions needed
(11/26/2012) As the 18th meeting of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) kicks off this morning in oil and gas rich Qatar, the world body warns that much more ambitious greenhouse gas cuts are needed to keep catastrophic climate change at bay. A new report by the UN Environment Program (UNEP) and the European Climate Foundation finds that even if all current emissions pledges are kept, the world will still spew 8 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent above what is needed by 2020, putting the globe on a fast-track to dangerous climate change.
Hotter and hotter: concentrations of greenhouse gases hit another new record
(11/20/2012) As expected, greenhouse gas concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere hit another record last year, according to a new UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases means that radiative forcing—changes in the atmosphere's energy balance that leads to warming—has jumped 30 percent in the last twenty years.
Climate activists march on White House again to oppose Keystone XL pipeline
(11/19/2012) Yesterday, climate activists marched around the White House in opposition against the Keystone XL pipeline, which if built will carry tar sands from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and an international market. The protest, which included over 3,000 people according to organizing groups, is an opening salvo in activists' battle to convince the Obama Administration to turn down the pipeline for good.

How can I have diabetes and not know it?
Sometimes, people who have what I'll call silent diabetes, they actually already have diabetes they just don't know it, will have symptoms and signs.
They will notice that they urinate more, that they get up at night to urinate, that they drink more, that they may have started to lose weight even though they're eating normally.
And they say oh gee, doctor, I've got some good news for you. I've lost ten pounds or twenty pounds. And I wasn't even trying.
That may not be a good sign. It may be that they were over weight and they've developed diabetes and that's why they're losing weight.
And of course they should be aware that sometimes if they have what I'm calling silent, or undiagnosed diabetes, they may start even to show signs of some of the complications.
Like neuropathies, or vascular insufficiencies, and sometimes that's the first presentation of a person with type-two diabetes.
